(((((rose))))) You take super good care, ya hear? No endangering our time together! :)

1:05 am

grannyrose

it appears i have had a low-grade urinary tract infection for quite some time which suddenly decided to go exploring in the kidneys, hence the high temp and blood

1:05 am

sprite

aw sweetie! Yeah, those are nasty things. Glad it popped up when it did and not a couple of weeks later.

1:06 am

grannyrose

would have been a bit of a giggle with you translating for me...

1:06 am

flosey

sounds painful Rose, sorry to hear

1:07 am

sprite

nah that would have been okay, but such a waste of our quality time.

1:08 am

grannyrose

strange flosey, no real pain this time, just an urgency and the strange "drawing in" feeling when stream finished. and the temps of over 39C.

1:10 am

grannyrose

i spent the day in bed after i came home from hospital, got up yesterday and did just a few tasks, and today, almaost back to normal

1:11 am

flosey

wow, wtg Rose, sounds like you take good care of yourself to bounce back so quickly

1:11 am

grannyrose

don takes good care of meself, flosey. he would have made a great nurse.

1:12 am

sprite

goooooood girl ;)
Not too many tasks either, sweetie, for a few days... make sure the energy goes to fully recovering and not to domestic chores.

1:12 am

sprite

*hugs Don* Good man, Don!

1:12 am

flosey

I still think temps in F - even though we've been using C for quite some years!!

1:12 am

sprite

I know how hard it is to keep a good woman down, lol. Respect to Don.

1:16 am

flosey

1:43 am

flosey

I must get to bed, son and family fly home tomorrow, have had a great time together and dread the thought of how quiet it will seem here for a while. It's been so wonderful to have the 3 of them here for two full weeks

1:44 am

grannyrose

1:45 am

MollyL

Be like a rabbit?

4:24 am

rubyfoo

I think it's a funny expression. I'm starting to know too much Fr slang!

4:25 am

zoozzoom

In that case I have that one.

4:31 am

zoozzoom

Exactly 60 words for later. I can see I will be listing early. Just not seeing anything valid.

4:32 am

9:41 am

Judi

Ewww.

9:41 am

Scrabbler

I work 3-4 days weekly, with one night on call and one weekend on call every 5 weeks, and that is plenty stressful. So I get 3 days off every week usually to recover from the work days.

9:43 am

MLFAN17

ty mixi

9:44 am

Judi

Cysts are gross. My oldest cat has had a few of them on his ears and neck (from fighting other cats in the hood).

9:44 am

MLFAN17

does the eo7 come from the 4th column?

9:44 am

mixi6

hubby want to get a cat.

9:44 am

Scrabbler

The young kids are the best. I dislike adolescents. Some parents are wonderful, some are utterly awful.

9:44 am

mixi6

yes mlf

9:45 am

Scrabbler

My friend's Bassett hound has numerous cysts too.

9:45 am

cybernan

hello everyone

9:53 am

Scrabbler

Hi Nan

9:54 am

bichon

hi nan, are you having floods?

9:54 am

rururocks

how is the flooding in your area nan?

9:56 am

cybernan

about the same, ru -- no where near as bad as in other parts of the country thouh

9:56 am

cybernan

*though

9:57 am

rururocks

good

9:58 am

cybernan

only the low lying areas along a couple of the creeks that run through town are affected -- that and our golf course, which is named Kelowna Springs for a very good reason!

9:59 am

Judi

*questions the wisdom of building a golf course on top of natural springs *

9:59 am

Scrabbler

Agreed, Judi.

9:59 am

cybernan

yes -- well it was an old landfill site that was formerly a swamp

9:59 am

Judi

Then again, scuba golf could become a big thing.

10:00 am

cybernan

need I add that someone from the prairies built it?

10:00 am

cybernan

wh not - I have a husband who would snowshoe golf if there was such a thing

10:00 am

mixi6

better to build a golf course, than houses.

10:01 am

cybernan

true, mixi

10:01 am

Scrabbler

Yes.

10:05 am

Judi

A friend of mine lives next to a former golf course. The owner went bankrupt. The golf course became a jungle. Lots of wildlife out there now. The only downside is that my friend keeps losing her dogs in there. Can't see them in the high weeds.

10:06 am

HarryHood

woo found an 8

10:06 am

HarryHood

That's very cool, judi. The pesticides from these golf courses can really damage the ground water quality

10:06 am

HarryHood

and the runoff

10:07 am

Scrabbler

I never thought of that, Harry.

10:07 am

HarryHood

halfway!

10:07 am

Judi

There is a pond there too. Dogs love to go diving in. Dogs get covered in mud & goose poop, then run through the weeds. Come home covered in muck, ticks and stickums.

10:08 am

HarryHood

yeah - sometimes our first instinct is to think "better farms and golf courses than McMansions"...but given the state of conventional agriculture and lawn maintenance, it's not so clear.

10:08 am

cybernan

no pesticides or herbicides allowed around here --- very strictly controlled because there are so many vineyards and orchards around

10:10 am

cybernan

everything gets sprayed with lime-sulpher in early spring and that's about it

10:12 am

aebmusica

re5/16.....clue please

10:12 am

Judi

Anyone have a clue for the Ap8?

10:12 am

mixi6

I wouldn't buy a house that is in a flood plain.

10:13 am

HarryHood

sound advice, mixi

10:13 am

cybernan

nope - tried applette, but that didn't work

10:13 am

Judi

Ditto, Nan.

10:13 am

mixi6

sound like to get hit over the head again lightly.

10:14 am

HarryHood

heh good clue

10:14 am

HarryHood

rhymes with Charlie Parker's musical genre

10:14 am

aebmusica

a strong craving or desire

10:15 am

Scrabbler

Are these clues for the same word?

10:15 am

cybernan

mmm - no appetite

10:15 am

mixi6

ap8 - starts like hungry + canvas shelter

10:15 am

rururocks

i'm lost on this one.. too obscure

10:15 am

Judi

Don't know who Charlie Parker is.

10:15 am

rururocks

jazz player judi

10:15 am

aebmusica

I am still looking for re5/16, please

10:15 am

rururocks

sax player

10:15 am

Judi

Ty, Mixi!

10:15 am

HarryHood

got the ap8. ty. the other clues were for re5

10:15 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I have been lost with clues for a while. Too vague for me.

10:16 am

rururocks

*looks at Judi's country western album selection*

10:16 am

cybernan

ty mixi

10:16 am

Judi

Well, that would explain my lack of Charlie Parker knowledge. Avoid country music like the plague.

10:16 am

rururocks

The Oak Ridge Boys judi .. ?? really?

10:16 am

HarryHood

Died at the age of 35.

10:17 am

aebmusica

ty for the re5 clues

10:17 am

mixi6

listens only to classical music....

10:17 am

Scrabbler

Really, mixi?

10:17 am

HarryHood

any clues for the top lone E or the lone O?

10:18 am

Scrabbler

I just saw a 14 year old, violinist, his father drives him 7 hours to Juilliard, every 2 wks for violin lessons.

10:18 am

rururocks

now that is a father

10:19 am

Judi

Hmmm. Wonder if they've heard of Skype.

10:19 am

mixi6

dedication. I'd be a professional, if I had it.

10:19 am

HarryHood

well I drive my kid 8 minutes to little league practice!

10:19 am

Judi

That counts too, Harry.

10:19 am

Scrabbler

Yes, and the kid is a passionate violinist already. He practices 3 hrs daily.

10:19 am

rururocks

that's being a good father too harry :D

10:19 am

HarryHood

(though sometimes I make him walk...)

10:19 am

rururocks

you sure the kid isn't stringing his father along scrab?

10:20 am

mixi6

oooo.....

10:20 am

rururocks

the kid must be embowed with a lot of ability :D

10:20 am

Scrabbler

Well, this kid wants to attend Juilliard so I think the kid and father are paving the path.

10:20 am

EvaNadine

hola Dr Scrabs!
wanted to let you know we took Baby K to the pediatric pulmonologist on wednesday

10:20 am

periwinkle

hi all not getting the clue for the ap8

10:20 am

cybernan

maybe he is bowing to parental pressure

10:20 am

HarryHood

tilappier: more fishy

10:20 am

Scrabbler

Ah, I see your pun now, ruru. ;-)

10:21 am

Scrabbler

Aha, and the commentary, Eva?

10:21 am

cybernan

or fingering to be a concert performer some day

10:21 am

HarryHood

you think the kid fiddles with the radio dial on the way into the city?

10:22 am

rururocks

VIola! Nan :D

10:22 am

EvaNadine

you had it right on the nose.
they did chest xrays (what an "adventure" for an infant!) and decided its infant asthma.
gave is Rx'es for an oral and an inhaled steroid.

10:22 am

mixi6

just water over the bridge!

10:22 am

periwinkle

got the ap8

10:22 am

HarryHood

wtg scrab!

10:23 am

cybernan

a concert violinist never fiddles!!! --- fine tunes maybe

10:23 am

Scrabbler

Aha, Dr Scrabbler made a long-distance diagnosis. Haha. Years of experience gave me that one.

10:23 am

cybernan

still back at the jazzy CW sax player -- no closer to the re 5

10:23 am

rururocks

what do you bass that on Nan?

10:24 am

grant

don't do f-holes?

10:24 am

Scrabbler

*waiting for the punniness to end*

10:24 am

HarryHood

remember that band Hansen? they had a one-hit mmmmm***?

10:24 am

rururocks

(scrabs will be waiting a lOOOOONG tme)

10:25 am

HarryHood

sorry nan - that was a clue for you :)

10:25 am

EvaNadine

yeah. doc thinks with the meds, he will be better by the time we go back next week.

now, the fun challenge -- getting him to take the oral meds. lil guy thrashed his head around more than a heavy metal drummer when we try to give it to him!

10:25 am

cybernan

there was a band hansen?

10:25 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I am thinking about how many words you can come up with.

10:25 am

HarryHood

we prefer to forget hansen.

10:25 am

bichon

Sounds like giving a pill to my pup

10:26 am

cybernan

don't have any re's for that mattre

10:26 am

Scrabbler

Oral prednisolone tastes terrible. Mix it something, if you can, to mask the taste. But the inhaled steroid will kick in in 3 days so that will help.

10:26 am

HarryHood

later all. gotta get a haircut.

10:27 am

EvaNadine

oh, lovely!
if id known that, i would have asked the pharmacy if they had that flavored additive to make it taste a little better...

10:27 am

rururocks

I think it was hanson wasn't it?

10:27 am

EvaNadine

would it be possible to mix it into his bottle?
or would that ruin it?

10:27 am

evanonut

ooooooooh drugs! i'm taking antibiotics

10:28 am

Scrabbler

Eva, if you know he would ingest ALL of it.

10:28 am

EvaNadine

it may be worth a try, so long as the meds would still be as effective taken that way

10:29 am

Judi

Pa8?

10:29 am

bichon

They have pill pockets for dogs. Maybe there's a pill ookie for kids

10:29 am

rururocks

kids don't eat ookie things bichon

10:29 am

EvaNadine

alas, bichon, hes not really on solids yet!

10:30 am

Scrabbler

His dose must be low, so the volume must be about 3 ml?

10:30 am

Judi

Ty, Bichon. *must remember to always try plural *

10:30 am

bichon

The problem with struggling to get kids to take meds is they don't forget.

10:31 am

bichon

yw Judi

10:31 am

EvaNadine

yup. 3 ml

10:31 am

Scrabbler

In older kids we advise mixing it with chocolate syrup.

10:32 am

rururocks

crack pipes for little people judi :D

10:34 am

Scrabbler

Eva, the oral steroid jumpstarts his improvement. The inhaled steroid will take effect in 3 days and then h will improve. So he will get better.

10:34 am

EvaNadine

i have a little pacifier-cup thingy that is made for giving liquid meds.
that works sometimes, but other times, no dice.

but perhaps if i mix some formula or something in there, it might improve the flavor, but i could be more sure hes getting it all...

10:36 am

Judi

Can you put the meds in a nebulizer, Eva?

10:37 am

Judi

Down to 50 and this grid is growing tiresome.

10:37 am

Judi

Lunch approaching. Pondering what to go get.

10:38 am

bichon

I'm going to make a smoothie

10:38 am

EvaNadine

not the oral one, judi

10:38 am

rururocks

burrata with toast and spiced lentils judi

10:38 am

Scrabbler

I would put it in his bottle, Eva, as long as you know he will drink all of it.

10:40 am

bichon

But wouldn't the taste of the meds queer the bottle

10:40 am

Scrabbler

If the med is diluted in 6-8 oz of formula he may not notice.

10:41 am

cybernan

would mixing it into a bit of fruit flavoured syrup work?

10:41 am

bichon

Isn't there some squeeze thing that would get it down easily

10:41 am

EvaNadine

he usually takes 4-6oz, so if i know hes particularly hungry, that would be easy.
(i send 4 ox bottles to day care because thats what fits in their fridge, but at home he usually gets 6oz bottles)

10:43 am

Scrabbler

Try putting it in a bottle, Eva.

10:43 am

cybernan

when our youngest was little we gave him alupent when he had an asthma attack (think it tasted like liccorice) which came in a bottle with an eyedropper.

10:44 am

EvaNadine

ill try the bottle, scrabs. worst case, he waste a dose + we're no worse off than we were before.

10:44 am

Scrabbler

Ah, Alupent syrup. That brings back memories from 30+ years ago.

10:45 am

cybernan

try 45 years ago!

10:45 am

Scrabbler

I recall using it in med school and residency.

10:46 am

cybernan

may not be the greatest thing now, but it was the best at the time --- worked really quickly to get the airway open

10:48 am

Scrabbler

Management of asthma has progressed so much, and is SO much better for kids, and their parents. Inhaled steroids was the gamechanger.

10:48 am

Scrabbler

75 to go and I am done. Enjoy the day.

10:48 am

bichon

I use Advair and Montelukast and voila, no more asthma

10:49 am

EvaNadine

thakns for all your help, Doc! :)

10:50 am

rururocks

I use montelukast too bichon

10:50 am

rururocks

it has been the best for me.

10:50 am

bichon

Advair is really a game changer, but, it is expensive

10:51 am

rururocks

too much steroid for me.. I started speaking Austrian :D

10:53 am

cybernan

are you sure it wasn't hauling wine to the CA capitol that did that?

10:53 am

Scrabbler

You are welcome, Eva. I am so happy that Baby K is getting the right treatment now. He will be so much better in a wek or two.

10:53 am

rururocks

10:54 am

10:54 am

I asked how they could harvest the grapes and they said they get people from Poland to do it.

10:55 am

11:49 am

Sally-catlover

I agree with Samantha. French in origin.

11:49 am

rururocks

the French way is accoutremente isn't it? maybe it is spelled both ways

11:49 am

SamanthaJoy

So I guess the other is also a valid alternate spelling. We both learned something, yay!

(But mine's more fun to say.)

11:50 am

SamanthaJoy

Dictionary dot com says mine is the British spelling, and ruru's is the American

11:53 am

rururocks

I know the French spelling.. but am unsure if the French spell it that way

11:54 am

rururocks

wow.. found my last r.. never saw that word before

11:54 am

SamanthaJoy

A large part of my early childhood was spent being educated with Brits, so I'm actually really good at spelling things in ways that are completely wrong in America. :/

11:58 am

EvaNadine

on my brother's wedding invitations, there was the wording "We request the honour of your presence..."
no one noticed the "honour" because my parents are british (and my brother had a hard time reading with dyslexia + dysgraphia)
i took one look at it + said "did you intend to spell it the british way?"

11:59 am

SamanthaJoy

Honestly I think too much is made of "correct" spelling. It just seems to be another gatekeeper to separate people.

12:00 pm

rururocks

probably true.. I tend to not care most of the time.. Jillibus used to correct my spelling all the time :D

12:00 pm

SamanthaJoy

Of course without correct spelling this game wouldn't exist.

12:01 pm

EvaNadine

its kinda funny -- i have a friend who is a teacher + for her, she uses proper spelling, grammar + punctuation in everything...emails, text messages, the whole nine yards...it drives her nuts to see it wrong.

12:01 pm

EvaNadine

for me, i was an english major + its very important to me that important, official things are correct.
but personal communications...im lazy. (as you can all see here!)

12:02 pm

rururocks

me too.. I often incorrectly spell a word here

12:02 pm

EvaNadine

i can only imagine that folks who only know me on here must think i dont know proper grammar + punctuation!

12:02 pm

SamanthaJoy

I generally communicate the way she does, with occasional modernities for effect, but it's habit, not judgement.

12:03 pm

EvaNadine

when my friend mentioned that, i had to apologize to her for every text ive ever sent and would ever send. heh

12:04 pm

SamanthaJoy

lmao

12:04 pm

I'm done. Any clues before I go? There are some strange words here.

I heard a lovely thing the other day. "Alll children are a gift, but sometimes you have to wait for the gift to be opened". The woman who said it then said "My children are in their 40s and I'm still waiting for their gifts to be revealed"

4:28 pm

ouch. That is a long wait. I have to admit, both our children are a gift to us, most of the time.
