12:06 am

Rainiqui

I could not load the grid last night and only discovered the 42,000 grid from yesterday about 10 minutes ago

12:07 am

jwr

Maybe Rain needs a couple of As

12:07 am

Rainiqui

12:07 am

TraderKate

12:07 am

Rainiqui

12:08 am

jwr

Oh, too bad, Rainqui. Is it a computer problem?

12:08 am

Lizlin

Offred is in the grid - only now she's free! At least so far in Australia!

12:08 am

Kamanjah

Doing yesterday's without Lickety wasn't easy - I ended up with a missing re that I had marked off, hursh figured out which one right off the bat, too!

12:08 am

Rainiqui

no it wasn't: did anyone else have problems last night?

12:08 am

Kamanjah

The site was down last night

12:09 am

jwr

That was the night before Kam.

12:09 am

TraderKate

andre is here ;)

12:09 am

Lizlin

At flip time, yes. The grid came up about 55 minutes late.

12:09 am

Rainiqui

any idea when it went back up?

12:09 am

jwr

ooooh.

12:09 am

Kamanjah

It was last night here. The 400+ wouldn't load until about 90 minutes after the flip time

12:09 am

jwr

You made me go google, Liz. Handmaid's Tale, huh?

12:10 am

TraderKate

what Liz said, I checked in an hour after flip and it was back up then

12:10 am

Lizlin

Yes - have seen the first 2 episodes of series 2.

12:10 am

Rainiqui

Damn - I was checking for 89 minutes !!!

12:10 am

jwr

Sounds like Dr. God's computer being restarted.

12:10 am

Lizlin

Wonder why you had problems for so long?

12:10 am

TraderKate

there are C words.. gnashing of teeth begins!

12:11 am

Lizlin

I did email Lickety yesterday but don't think he's seen it.

12:11 am

jwr

Rain - I HOPE you were kidding about the 89.

12:11 am

Rainiqui

I know eh?

12:11 am

TraderKate

Lizlin

Hi Stid

12:12 am

Rainiqui

I'm a Canuck too Kate

12:12 am

TraderKate

I don't think I have Lickety's e-mail, forgot to check - I did drag myself to FB to messge

12:12 am

TraderKate

12:13 am

clue for the di6 plz

12:44 am

Lizlin

Just working on that word

12:45 am

Lizlin

With no luck so far

12:50 am

anike

FW

12:51 am

Lizlin

Congrats, Anike.

12:51 am

rbud

di6 - hard to clue - first 3 of the electronic di5 before it, then a vowel, then the last two of what our form of government (supposedly) is

12:51 am

rbud

just thought I'd give it a shot, haha, prolly makes little sense...

12:52 am

rbud

and congrats, anike!

12:53 am

Kamanjah

after chasing down some sort of definition of the D word, all I came up with was unisexual.

12:53 am

rbud

weird word.

12:54 am

Lizlin

Not finding it :(

12:54 am

Lizlin

You'd think I could find 3 letters!

12:54 am

Mary

hi all, can't make out the di6/ any other clue?

12:54 am

anike

Thanks all.

12:55 am

Kamanjah

It's not in the regular dictionary, as if that helps. Odd combo of last 3 letters.

12:56 am

TraderKate

this is the adj form of that di 6 rbud clued:
Biology Having the male and female reproductive organs, especially flowers, on different individuals.

12:56 am

anike

Diode 6 is a zoological word. Di + Orange county

12:56 am

TraderKate

Liz... look waaaat up!

12:58 am

anike

Try again. Do + Orange County + the last 2 letters of the political style of government in us and UK etic

12:58 am

anike

No Di plus the rest of it!!

12:58 am

TraderKate

thinks anike is tired... DI 6 or is that a dofferent word?

12:59 am

Lizlin

Orange County?

12:59 am

anike

Initials of the county

12:59 am

TraderKate

LOL, won't help us much will it Liz ;)

12:59 am

Lizlin

Never mind - perhaps I'm word blind after the last grid.

12:59 am

TraderKate

ah! good one.

1:00 am

anike

I still have it wrong...can I just give you the word..

1:00 am

TraderKate

go back to rbud's clue... top D clockwise circular pattern

1:00 am

Lizlin

Got it - thanks!

1:00 am

rbud

hahaha! would be easier, huh, anike? ;)

1:01 am

Lizlin

I was trying to end the government word with the last 2 letters of small bitey bug.

1:02 am

rbud

<---- (hopes no one needs a clue for the 7 next!) :P

1:02 am

TraderKate

Oz bitey bug... mozzie?

1:02 am

TraderKate

doesn't have the 7......

1:02 am

Lizlin

no - 3 letters beginning wth t

1:03 am

Kamanjah

I think the 7 would be easier to clue, sounds like...

1:03 am

rbud

oh, sorry, Liz, thought of that when I clued it, was thinking I should have gone with maybe something to do with frozen water, or the first two of the cy4, but that's soooo obvious, right?

1:04 am

Lizlin

Finally fireworks. Last word py 5/18

1:04 am

rbud

(and now I've done it regardless, heehee)

1:04 am

TraderKate

the di 6 was hard to clue!

1:04 am

rbud

yahoo, congrats!

1:04 am

Lizlin

Time to give my computer a break. Thanks for all the help.

1:04 am

Mary

ty bud your last post did it for me.

1:05 am

TraderKate

the penny will not drop. must be even more tired than I thought

1:05 am

TraderKate

GN Liz, and congrats!

1:06 am

rbud

yw.

1:07 am

rbud

what, for the 7? I needed my morewords for that, with all the excluded letters. That knocked it down to only 3 on its list, whew!

1:08 am

rbud

though really, having put just eu7 in morewords just now, there aren't many at all (even without excluded letters)

1:10 am

TraderKate

I will look, ty

1:10 am

rbud

ends in 3 vowels, like that weird to4 common babblet

1:12 am

TraderKate

found it in the list, thanks rbud!

1:13 am

rbud

another weird word!

1:13 am

TraderKate

saw euploid and pounced erroneously ;)

1:24 am

ursh

clue for the O in the first column please

1:25 am

ursh

the top O

1:26 am

ursh

nm found it - never see the sea :)

1:26 am

TraderKate

don't have them yet ursh, will try to look.

1:26 am

TraderKate

TY!

1:27 am

rbud

I have trouble with that sea word, too, and oddly enough, it also always takes me forever to see "asea" when it's in the grid. :D

1:29 am

rbud

does that mean I'm probably a landlubber, I wonder?

1:30 am

TraderKate

funny, we all have words that we can't find well!

1:30 am

TraderKate

:D

1:30 am

rbud

(cause I am, have never been on anything on the water except a canoe, lol)

1:33 am

TraderKate

It'

1:33 am

TraderKate

It's been a long time since I've seen the oc5 that's my excuse ;)

1:37 am

ursh

Fireworks again with help of kind lister ARB

1:38 am

TraderKate

Congrats ursh!

1:47 am

rbud

how come fooey doesn't work, it works with a C... :P

1:48 am

rbud

and wow, my son just gave me some money, always a pleasant surprise... he sold a car.

1:48 am

TraderKate

:D I tried to pt the coo words, no luck.

1:49 am

TraderKate

tryng to mionkey the py... it doesn't seem to be in more words - or I'm completely blind :(

1:51 am

rbud

ends like the current opi*** epidemic - or like one of those painful things that happen to one's behind that require Preparation H

1:52 am

TraderKate

ty rbud, that did it for me - finally!
must be fat fingers, I could have sworn I tried that at least twice...

1:53 am

TraderKate

typos are NOT always my friend :/

1:53 am

rbud

whew! I still have 15 to go, been too much going on here. People in and out, and it's a ridiculous hour for it all. The dogs go nuts every time.

1:54 am

TraderKate

coming and goind at 2AM? That's just silly...but I guess it IS Friday....

1:54 am

rbud

that's what happens when both kids still live here, with significant others and THEIR kids, and friends of all concerned... :P

1:55 am

TraderKate

you're running hotel, not a home! ;)

1:55 am

rbud

our place has always been kind of crazy, Hubs was very popular with the local late night crowd, too

1:56 am

rbud

plus he worked nights for years, things wouldn't really start up until after 11!

1:56 am

TraderKate

I seem to remember something about that rbud.... topsy turvey household :D

1:57 am

rbud

well, second shift. Sometimes third.

1:58 am

rbud

hey, we had a train engine catch on fire near here yesterday, out between a couple of tiny towns, took 4 or 5 local fire trucks to put it and associated brush fires around it out. There's a video, maybe I can send it over on FB.

1:59 am

rbud

kind of odd, it seemed to me, it was mostly shooting out the top of it like a torch.

1:59 am

rbud

crew was standing around waiting on the fire trucks.

2:00 am

SamanthaJoy

I'd love to see that video, rbud. Sounds fun to watch!

2:00 am

TraderKate

that happens sometimes rbud... maintenance isn't what it used to be. crap builds up... it can be very hard tjo put out those deisel fires...

2:01 am

TraderKate

I'm sure the RR guys would like to see itto - can you just post it to my wall?

2:03 am

rbud

I think so, the guy made it public. Not sure about putting a link here, Samantha, might be fun to try, hmmm...

2:03 am

TraderKate

LOL... I had to go look in the files to see who you were... I know FB R4 and rbud, but can't seem to put them together... there are very few that I link between FB and Babble - maybe a half dozen. Hopeless with screen names.

2:03 am

TraderKate

if you put the link here, tiny URL it...

2:05 am

TraderKate

Brush fires? Is it dry where you are? We have been pretty wet here....

2:06 am

TraderKate

If it happened at night, it's like a firewoks diplay with all the sparks flying :D

2:11 am

rbud

no, not at night, bet that *would* be something to see!

2:13 am

TraderKate

It's on my wall, ty for taking the time rbud... the foamer page will love it, and it will give the real railroader pages something to take potshots at.

2:15 am

rbud

I see someone has a theory on the cause in the comments, didn't see that yesterday. No idea if they know what they're talking about or not.

2:16 am

rbud

here's what I got from tiny URL, not sure if it works if you're not on facebook, but worth a shot.

https://tinyurl.com/y8rjalyd

2:18 am

rbud

And now you know who I am at Fb, Kate, we do a lot of back and forth there, it seems. My dad retired from the Rock Island Line way back when, have always been fond of trains and train lore.

2:20 am

rbud

I have the same "avatar" pic there as here, had forgotten that.

2:20 am

TraderKate

I just checkied the tiny url rbud, it works fine.

2:22 am

TraderKate

One day I will tie You on FB with YOU here... I really am hopeless. To me rbud and rose are 2 different people. :(

2:24 am

TraderKate

and I have 4 x rose in FB too

2:26 am

rbud

well, the would make it more difficult, gosh. I've met a few other Roses along the way, and of course grannyrose in here, but I don't mention I'm Rose, too, very often, when she's here, and others are calling her Rose - it's just confusing, haha

2:26 am

rbud

*that, not "the"

2:28 am

rbud

oh! just got my last 6, fo6, the melty cheese and/or chocolate pot with long forks...

2:31 am

TraderKate

between the grannys/roses/stids and overlap in Fb I am permanently confuzzled. The same icon pic is very helpful... but most people change their profile pics. (This is why I don't - easily identifiable, though I did try to change my Babble one to same as FB.. can't seem to find my profile pic in PC!)

2:32 am

TraderKate

Wooot! Go rbud go!

2:36 am

rbud

grrrr, son is outside revving his race car motor... bet the neighbors love that. But then again, they've been putting up with loudness from the shop out there for years, as Hubs fixed Harleys all the time.

2:37 am

rbud

luckily not much for neighbors, only one other house inhabited on the whole block.

2:42 am

TraderKate

Do you live in a ghost town rbud? I would have thought the neighbours would be having fits ;)

2:46 am

rbud

well, it's very small, and we own most of our block - AND there are train tracks right beside us, with trains using it a few times a day (there's a wye here, they set up the cars and then take off) That's louder, so maybe they don't mind the other noises? They never seem to complain.

2:50 am

TraderKate

Either that, or they're deaf. LOL ;)
Maybe they are nightowls too...

2:59 am

rbud

aha, just sent over some stills I found that show the side of the engine post-fire.

3:00 am

TraderKate

thanks rbud :)

3:04 am

rbud

glad that didn't happen right next to our house - though shortly after we moved here 25+ years ago, one did manage to derail about 5 or 6 cars right across the crossing a block from here. Much fuss ensued. Only crossing from the backside of town, they all had to use a tiny dirt two-rut path along the tracks for days until it was cleared up.

3:06 am

rbud

have often thanked the powers that be that we're on the "right" side of the tracks, and are never trapped behind a long train like they are over there. :D

3:10 am

TraderKate

Ah... gotta love derailments... sounds like you chose well with the site - nothing worse than getting stuck at a crossing - unless the train stop..which is awful!

3:14 am

My son was concerned enoguh (rare!) to telephone

My usual helper, Nadia, is tied up for the weekend

3:19 am

lt's annoying, but not tragic! LOL

3:21 am

Look at all the time you have for other things ;)

3:22 am

3:22 am

TraderKate

So, it's all worth it, since son called :D

3:23 am

TraderKate

How are the pups?

3:24 am

rubyfoo

yesterday we made ahuge bouquet of double lilacs for the livig room. The bush was planting specifically to provide cut flowers as it's in the bottom garden, not visible from the house

3:24 am

rubyfoo

sorry for typos, l can't really read what l write..........

3:24 am

TraderKate

Ooooh! I adore the smaell of lilacs!

3:25 am

TraderKate

I wouldn't worry about typos... LMAO

3:25 am

rubyfoo

My "angel<<<michele", who used to work for a florist, showed me how to make them last longer

3:26 am

TraderKate

What is her trick?

3:27 am

rubyfoo

You either pound the stems with a hammeror split them with a nife, so they can take in water

3:27 am

rubyfoo

They are very thirsty

3:27 am

rubyfoo

3:27 am

ayed

3:27 am

TraderKate

Oh yes... good idea.

3:27 am

rubyfoo

sorry

3:28 am

TraderKate

:D
no4 that's not a word ;)

3:28 am

rubyfoo

Yhey still don't last very long, but without that, they only last a day

3:29 am

TraderKate

pick them when the first of the buds starts to open and try either a bit of sugar or a crushed aspirin in the water (changed daily)

3:30 am

rubyfoo

We add the powder that the supermarket provides with cut flowers but l cn only add water as there's no way l could like the vase

3:30 am

rubyfoo

lift*

3:30 am

TraderKate

A very belated Happy Birthday ruby... I haven't been on FB :/

3:31 am

TraderKate

florist powder is good too!

3:32 am

rubyfoo

Thank you. With lilacs, on my "table scape" lf have two "gift" plants, white orchids and white arum lilies

3:33 am

rubyfoo

lt's all very grand. As l get smaller, the flowers get taller!

3:33 am

TraderKate

Pretty! Can you plant the lilies out when they are finished blooming?

3:33 am

rubyfoo

l think so

3:33 am

TraderKate

<picturing the incredible shrinking ruby> :D

3:34 am

rubyfoo

Since the lilies are white, l can have themplanted near the white peonies

3:38 am

rubyfoo

nfortunately, l can't even dig holes any more

3:40 am

TraderKate

Teach the pups t dig? Just kidding... That's too bad ruby. yu used to ove to work away in the garden.

3:41 am

rubyfoo

I need to give my keybosrd a good cleaning out... not hitting the keys hard enough. End up missing every secnd letter

3:42 am

rubyfoo

Raffie's specialty is squashing iris!

3:43 am

TraderKate

Scecialising now, how the time flies! Too bad it's the irises... naughty puppy!

3:44 am

TraderKate

Now that it's past stupid o'clock, went to the kitchen to forage... there's a wasp on the loose in there...

3:45 am

rubyfoo

She can do no wrong as she is the village princess. People come by to tke the two dogs' photos

3:46 am

rubyfoo

I found a dead "leglesslizard" after the lawn was mowed, threw it in the pond, and it was instantly Grabbed by a monstergoldgfish fromthe deep

3:47 am

TraderKate

Of course, this news does not surprise me in the least... she is a beaut... they both are. :)

3:47 am

rubyfoo

When the housekeeper walks them, she prÃ©tends they're hers, so proud is she!

3:48 am

TraderKate

I did see that ruby - the watch dogs alerted you to its presence...:D

3:48 am

rubyfoo

sorry for th repeat, getting old!

3:50 am

TraderKate

LOL, how are you supposed to remember who saw what? Don't worrry about it. I repeat myself too. You might want t give that goldfish a name, if it's big enough to eat the lizard...

3:52 am

ivesy3

di 6 plz

3:53 am

rubyfoo

That's funny because yesterday, when my friend and l were feeding and admiring the lovely fish, we named 4that we could recognize (out of hundreds!): Spot, Mr; Clown, Ghost and Angel (because of his very long white fins)

3:53 am

TraderKate

tricky one to clue ivesy. 1 sec

3:53 am

ivesy3

ok.. does it work off of the 5

3:53 am

rubyfoo

hi ivesy

3:54 am

ivesy3

hi ruby

3:54 am

TraderKate

starts like the electonics part + a vowel + first half of a colour in the grid?

3:55 am

TraderKate

clockwise circular pattern to the word in the grid, if that helps.

3:55 am

ivesy3

ty kate , will work on it

3:56 am

TraderKate

and I will work on a better clue.

3:56 am

rubyfoo

you're kidding, right? LOL

3:58 am

ivesy3

i dont get the electronics part lol

3:58 am

rubyfoo

ldon't get the color

3:59 am

ivesy3

me either ruby lol

4:00 am

rubyfoo

OMG,l finally reached half, my big goal for the day!

4:00 am

TraderKate

Italian for "god" + r***ling bin (for glass/paper/cans etc to be collected along with the grbage)

4:01 am

ivesy3

ahhh got it!! ty

4:01 am

ivesy3

great clue

4:01 am

TraderKate

tough letter combo...

4:02 am

TraderKate

the colour is one of 4 that is in a printer... it is a shade of blue. the word was cy 4/7

4:02 am

rubyfoo

especially formy empty head!

4:03 am

TraderKate

and now I've just pretty much given it away completely :(

4:03 am

rubyfoo

ty ty!!

4:03 am

TraderKate

sorry folk!

4:05 am

rubyfoo

l still didn't get it, but l appreciate your effort!

4:05 am

TraderKate

ivesy... you got the as 5... do you not have the similar word?

4:05 am

TraderKate

grrr AN 5*

4:06 am

ivesy3

yes , i have the an 5..

4:07 am

ivesy3

i hate doing it without lickey.. never know what word goes where

4:07 am

TraderKate

I was just reading back.. so you did name some of the more special fish :D

4:07 am

TraderKate

there is a DI word that is th AN5's relative.

4:08 am

ivesy3

oh ok.. didnt know that

4:08 am

TraderKate

That's what triped you up with the first clue - I assumed you had that word already.

4:09 am

rubyfoo

We started with 23 red OR yellow "feeders" and now have hundreds of multicoloredones, even some with black fins

4:09 am

ivesy3

oh no prob.. the other clue was great

4:10 am

rubyfoo

l give up for now, l think NYT was just delivered & l'll have an early lunch

4:10 am

TraderKate

Very nice ruby! that must be quite a fish pond to behold... it must be very relaxing to sit and watch.

4:11 am

rubyfoo

See you later

4:11 am

TraderKate

bye ruby, have an enjoyable day!

4:12 am

rubyfoo

lt's beautiful, ws my husband's hobby, and there will be waterlilies by June (only leaves, so far) and thz fountain in the middle is blocked

4:12 am

rubyfoo

lt is always surprising that the fish and plants survive the brutalwinters

4:12 am

TraderKate

Oh my! You will have to take some pictures when it's in full bloom!

4:14 am

rubyfoo

lt attracts birds, including a heron who comes for breakfast, by day, and bats in the evenings

4:14 am

TraderKate

It's THAT big? A heron... you ARE lucky! Do you know what kind?

4:16 am

rubyfoo

Just a common big white one. My husband used to try to shoot it, but there are enough fish to share

4:16 am

rubyfoo

The pond isn't that big andl think the fish eat the Young when there are too many

4:17 am

TraderKate

Fish are cheap too... well worth any restocking needed to have a resident heron!

4:18 am

TraderKate

They can be canibalistic... even among their own species.. good thing goldfish are plentiful and inexpensive,

4:19 am

TraderKate

and again with the typos... sigh

4:19 am

rururocks

That way the heron wonâ€™t have any egret

4:19 am

rubyfoo

Not here! The feeders, which sell for one or two $/ dozen in Miami, cost one euro EACH here. If l could sell mine, they are Worth 10euros or more for each

4:20 am

rubyfoo

Or l could eat themif l go broke!

4:20 am

rubyfoo

l'm a cannibal, too

4:21 am

TraderKate

Wow... sounds like you should be going to the river and scooping up some to bring home...

How do yu prepare goldfish - pan fried or baked?

4:21 am

TraderKate

yes.. another of my typos :(

4:22 am

TraderKate

goldfish and chips... could be quite a thing ;)
at lest we know that you will be well fed, come what may.

4:22 am

rururocks

Goldfish sushi. Like carp-accio

4:22 am

rubyfoo

Maybe gefulte (sp?) fish as thet are, after all, carp

4:23 am

TraderKate

Maybe you should start sideline as fishie breeder? You said there are some pretty ones... tell them to make babies!

4:23 am

TraderKate

....aaand there's ruru! Hihi :D

4:24 am

rubyfoo

no carping ru! You'd be well-fed here. And no egrets living in this little corner of Heaven!

4:24 am

TraderKate

carp and chips doesn't have the same cache though...

4:24 am

rubyfoo

L think that's what they do Under the ice

4:24 am

TraderKate

ruby scores a double!

4:25 am

rubyfoo

With all the drugs the gov't gives me, l could start two enterprises

4:25 am

TraderKate

We have lured ruru out..he has fallen for our bait hook, line, and sinker.

4:26 am

rururocks

Maybe Coq au Fin?

4:26 am

TraderKate

:D
ruby, drug dealer extraordinaire....

4:26 am

TraderKate

ouch! that was painfully good ruru

4:27 am

rubyfoo

There's a coque living up the hill from me, and he's given me his phone number!

4:27 am

TraderKate

Was that zinger gill-t free?

4:27 am

TraderKate

Do tell, ruby....

4:28 am

rururocks

Kind of a gourami meal

4:28 am

TraderKate

I have no more illusions about ruru. There scales have been pulled back from mine eyes

4:28 am

rubyfoo

We'll see; l'm about 10 years too old for that particular pastime

4:29 am

TraderKate

Do you just sit there and perch waiting for an opening?

4:29 am

rubyfoo

hahah

4:29 am

rururocks

Usually i am just being coi

4:29 am

rubyfoo

He was a dog fancier -- liked my fancy dogs

4:30 am

TraderKate

and he also liked your fancy puppies :D

4:30 am

rubyfoo

l'm notcarping; you're a cutie, ru!

4:31 am

rubyfoo

The drug of choice in the US is almost in the grid

4:31 am

TraderKate

Trying to sing ruru a song, butI'm out of tun-a

4:32 am

rubyfoo

ahi!!

4:32 am

TraderKate

that ending will come in handy ruby. for a tricky 5...

4:32 am

rubyfoo

l think it's Japanese tuna

4:32 am

TraderKate

or close to it, didn't mean to mislead you.

4:34 am

rubyfoo

NatashaW

I couldn't either when I was young - adored steak, super rare. College dining hall put me off meat.

10:20 am

NatashaW

Once I started THINKING about what I was eating... that was the end of it for me.

10:20 am

cybernan

lol - can understand that, natasha - as I recall, everything was overcooked and tasteless

10:20 am

NatashaW

They'd serve things that looked like an open sore...

10:21 am

NatashaW

And this was YALE, mind you. The only time they had edible food was parents' weekend.

10:22 am

NatashaW

All of a sudden they'd roll out huge wheels of cheese and gorgeous coldcut platters. We'd all be telling our parents, "Um, no, this is NOT what they usually serve us."

10:24 am

Turt

yw. i am stuck on the di 6. it's my last. frustration!!

12:17 pm

MollyL

di + two vowels + bridal gowns are often la**

12:18 pm

MollyL

I think that di6 just needs to get posted in the chat. It is the most asked for word today.

12:19 pm

MollyL

But then, that would be encouraging the bitter, "don't you just love it" profile hit and runner.

12:27 pm

Turt

ty molly! fireworks!

1:03 pm

rururocks

I wish we could just sprinkle sugar in the chat to fight off the bitterness :D

1:06 pm

rururocks

or at least ice cream :D

1:10 pm

MollyL

That would be nice Ru. And if people want to be bitter, so be it. But hiding behind a fake name is chickenshit.

rubyfoo

that is awful, zzoozz! Are there any "noise laws" there?

2:07 pm

zoozzoom

I don't mind them enjoying themselves, I mean I was a but like that at that age but wish they would tone it down a bit.

2:08 pm

libarebel

C5 comes from the root to make lovey noises-- one who does and one who is the recipient

2:08 pm

rubyfoo

Music, too?

2:08 pm

zoozzoom

There are, Ruby but they are a bane to use and it takes an age. Also I do not want to start a neighbour war.

2:09 pm

zoozzoom

Music yes but mostly very loud shouting and banging about with the doors etc.

2:09 pm

zoozzoom

Thankfully it is mostly confined to Friday night Sat & Sunday.

2:10 pm

rubyfoo

My previous neighbor had 3 boys Under 6 and a pool to amplify the noise. We couldn't sit outtside and have a conversation.

2:11 pm

rubyfoo

No my neighbor isa weaalthy pig who keeps having his side of MY hedge cut

2:11 pm

zoozzoom

I suppose if this house was built better and not with these very thin walls it would be a lot better. Maybe I am just a miserable old git.

2:11 pm

rubyfoo

now*

2:12 pm

zoozzoom

Is he still doing that, Ruby. Thought that was sorted.

2:12 pm

rubyfoo

My house was built on the cheap and there's no sound (or other) inssulation and of course, no heat.

2:13 pm

libarebel

co5/16 is the adjective fporm of same root...

2:13 pm

zoozzoom

Your house sounds just like how my house is built.

2:13 pm

2:14 pm

zoozzoom

2:15 pm

zoozzoom

Ah so it might be that he will leave off the trimming then, Ruby!

2:16 pm

zoozzoom

I am now playing whit noise to see if that will drown out there din lol

2:16 pm

rubyfoo

Todaya neighbor took me to the plant store& ol bought an enormous number of plants: "cheats" for the borders, others for in front of the house and many for the deck.

2:17 pm

rubyfoo

She had to carry themdown to the housenfor,pe, much too much fornwimpy me!

2:17 pm

zoozzoom

Nice sounds like you are having it all spruced up!

2:18 pm

rubyfoo

l can't plant them myself, but hopefully somebody (gardener, handyman) will come to dig and carry.

2:19 pm

rubyfoo

l ven bought small tomato plants for the deck as l can no longer get down to the ptager

2:19 pm

zoozzoom

No but at least you can have it all planned out to how you want it!

2:19 pm

rubyfoo

Getting old is no joke, but better than the alternative

2:20 pm

zoozzoom

I hope your tomato plants will do better than the last lot you had.

2:20 pm

zoozzoom

That is true, Ruby.

2:21 pm

rubyfoo

lt's funny that you remember; l remember nothing of last summer. l guess l was too sick

2:21 pm

zoozzoom

Nothing exciting happens in my life, Ruby LOL

2:21 pm

zoozzoom

Yes you were rather poorly, Ruby. so glad things are getting better for you!

2:22 pm

rubyfoo

lf something exciting happened in mine, l'd probably forget it. <<lol

2:22 pm

zoozzoom

LOL Bless you.

2:23 pm

rubyfoo

At least l can recall most of my past -- ready to have Mollyghostwrite for me (just kidding, Molly)

2:24 pm

rubyfoo

2:25 pm

zoozzoom

Had to use morewords for the EU 7

10:29 pm

mkg

wish lickety was around.

10:30 pm

Nef

He said clues were up as of 8:20 PM I saw

10:35 pm

cosdem

clues up for me

10:36 pm

Nef

(((cos))) How are you doing?

10:36 pm

cosdem

the waiting ugh

10:37 pm

cosdem

i dont know how to deal with the waiting

10:38 pm

Nef

waiting? (Sorry, I haven't been here the last couple of nights)

10:38 pm

Nef

How's Ryan?

10:42 pm

cosdem

days left thats what were waiting for

10:43 pm

cosdem

could be tonight could be up to 14 days

10:44 pm

Nef

cos, instead of just waiting, this is the time that you should be talking to Ryan, tell him you love him, tell him that it's okay for him to go (give him permission to pass)

10:45 pm

cosdem

hes sleeping heavily on morphine... but we talked a few times today and hell no i aint letting him go

10:45 pm

cosdem

im sorry but no

10:46 pm

Nef

and review your lives together; any silly memories you have of the two of you. Even if he's heavily drugged, hearing is the last sense to go

10:46 pm

Nef

Is he suffering?

10:47 pm

Nef

This may sound bad; but the thing is, as long as you want him to stay and be with you, he will try to hang on to life; and that may increase the amount of suffering he's going through

10:49 pm

Nef

(& I just realized what I said about hearing; & once again I forgot; can Ryan hear?

10:51 pm

cosdem

yes he can but he is coherent.. he knows.

10:51 pm

cosdem

we have conversations

10:53 pm

Nef

ok. Just talk to him. Waiting is hard; but talking to him & reviewing your lives together will remind both of you about the good times (& bad); & it will help the time pass

10:56 pm

Nef

And it's okay to tell him how you feel; if your angry or sad, or whatever, that's okay to share within.

10:59 pm

cosdem

but how do I wait

11:00 pm

Nef

What do you want to wait for? Are they limiting your time at his bedside?

11:03 pm

cosdem

hes at his moms house

11:04 pm

Nef

OH! And how far is that from where you are?

11:04 pm

cosdem

not far. but i mean.. sitting there waiting for it to happen

11:10 pm

Nef

Don't just sit there & wait for him to die. If it's okay with his mom, feed him, wash his face, sponge out his mouth & keep it clean & moist, hold his hand; do those types of little things that mean something to you to comfort him. If you can read a book to him that you both like; or bring his dog over for a visit; things like that that would mean something to the 2 of you. Just sitting there *waiting* doesn't help either of you; but if there are things you can do for his comfort; that will help.

11:14 pm

Nef

And when you aren't there visiting; use your energy to do mindless, thoughtless tasks such as doing laundry, doing dishes, scrubbing floors, weeding the garden. Basically do the things around the house that always need to be done but don't require any thinking or concentration.
And eat the nutritious foods (not junk); and be sure and get your rest & sleep.

11:16 pm

Nef

Because when he does pass, you need to be able to get through *that* whole phase of the process, too

11:18 pm

Dorens

Sorry to butt in here, but Nef is completely right. I lost my dearest closest friend in July to cancer and at the end it is all about being there for the person and doing what needs to be done, showing your love, support and caring. Doing what he/she needs, not what is easiest for you.

11:21 pm

cosdem

okay .

11:21 pm

cosdem

hes only 34.

11:21 pm

cosdem

i dont know.

11:21 pm

harpjane

I see Lickety is up

11:22 pm

Nef

I've lost 5 very close family members (and am losing my baby brother to ALS very soon also) and it *hurts* so much; but it's important to make the other person feel loved & cared for.
And as a nurse at the bedside in ICU for 34 years; I've given this same advice to so many family members. It makes a difference if you think about your loved one or worry about yourself.

11:24 pm

Nef

cos, it's extremely hard on you; but you will feel better later.

11:24 pm

Nef

Thanks, Dorens.

11:24 pm

Nef

Hi harp.

11:27 pm

Nef

cos, he's packed a lot of living in his 34 years; both good & bad.
You need to remind him of your times together, okay?

11:44 pm

flosey

SOOO well said Nef, sure hope I have a friend like you nearby when I have to face it

11:54 pm

Nef

Thanks, flosey. I hope you do too; and I hope we all can be that lucky.

(I was updating my profile about my brother just now).
