why ru?

11:10 am

rururocks

he was decomposing

11:10 am

cybernan

That was already done at the place we bought - including foundation plants - because they had had a drainage problem that needed to be repaired. We left the rocks, but the first thing we did was plant some carpet juniper and a couple of shrubs next to the house. Eventially the juniper will cover the rocks and give us some green -- also will have a cooling effect in summer. The juniper doesn't need much water either which is a plus.

11:10 am

I do have a brick planter up near the house that I planted with salvias. And I have some crepe myrtles and a Japanese maple.

The Japanese maple grew to twice the size it was supposed to be. Have to machete my way in and out of the car.

I don't like the shrub juniper -- it doesn't age well. This stuff is a blue-green colour. maximum height of 6" and a spread of 15'

Japanese maple is expensive, but very pretty.

Amazing that Japanese maple is that cheap in California. They are much more expensive here.

11:23 am

we're closer to Japan Molly :D

They are $20 - $50 for a 2gal. pot plant here.

Oh my, Nan's post got BIG

Sorry about the big gap there -- no idea what happened

11:25 am

Closer to Japan, why of course.

MollyL

So you are moving up there permanently?

11:37 am

rururocks

i think so.. yes

11:38 am

Oh, I doubt you will like what they call bacon. It is more like what we call ham here.

11:38 am

MollyL

*Cues up "Oh Canada* for Ru

11:40 am

I think you spent any time in Canada, Molly, that you would find that we have side bacon as well as back bacon or pea meal bacon.

11:41 am

rururocks

she was just joking me on my behalf nan.. not a comment on Canada

11:41 am

An order of bacon and eggs in a restaurant would get you side bacon - just as it does in the states

11:54 am

pea meal bacon is what you call Canadian bacon

11:54 am

helenkeller

Nonetheless, Molly, seems you managed to insult yet another Babble. I warned you about being snarky. I don't care for it. It is clear to me now that MANY other people do not care for it either. You have literally chased dozens of Babblers off the lovely chat we used to have with your snide comments. YELLOW CARD ON MOLLY.

No ruru - that's not how this is working anymore. Too many lovely people have been hurt by her offensive jokes. She's the one who needs to chill. Ya'll are welcome to have private side convos, if she can't play nicely with others.

11:57 am

cybernan

No problem Helen -- I, like many Canadians, am feeling overly sensitive just now. It's hurtful knowing that the leader of your country has many of our neighbours believing that we are the root of all evil in the states --- especially after all the years our country has supported yours and helped hout whenever a hand was needed

11:58 am

rururocks

Helen.. it was a joke.. and it wasn't offensive and you are trying to create a problem that doesn't exist

11:58 am

helenkeller

No, no, no ruru. The problem already exists. Has become the norm here. That is not okay anymore.

nan - I hear what you're saying, but don't understand it. Please don't take anything this president says seriously. I saw a video of him where he said the following words: "I broke the glass ceiling for women." This is the self-admitted pussy grabber saying this. The man is not of right mind.

12:03 pm

rururocks

what does that mean the Guy card?

12:04 pm

hego

Guys always say women are being dramatic when they get upset.

12:04 pm

carleekat

there was a time, when jokes abou Canadians,,polite, eh, polar bears in our back yards... were funny. W made them ourselves, however the absolute lack of any knowledge by most ( not all, and for most here does not apply) of Canada, when the U..of A. is quit litrally jammed down our throats... and then for this nonsense that a gvernment that your peers voted into office is now accusing us of being a naional threat bc w manage our agricultural industry...that politeness has passed.

12:04 pm

helenkeller

Yes, ruru is trying to say this is a 'gal thing.' It is not. Men on this site have also been insulted by the same person. The understand how insensitive she is. I've watched the chat & know you are neither stupid, not blind.

12:04 pm

cybernan

It's the damage he has caused to CA-USA relations that has me upset, helen. Now they are saying on the news that it is possible he will be reelected in 2020. He has the entire free world angry at him.

Wait, what??? You make a snarky comment about "what we call bacon" and indicate that you don't think he'd like it. It in not like ham.. Canadian bacon, peameal bacon, back bacon are not ham. Bacon is bacon. If you wish to sniff and make superior comments, you might at least deign to ask a Canadian before you make pronouncement. I do not see that it was a joke at all given the lond history of sideways putdowns.

12:06 pm

Canadians are simply tired of being the butt of American jokes.

12:07 pm

helenkeller

No ruru, I told you already. The impoliteness on this site, caused by one individual, needs to end. The Babblers who agree on this are in the dozens.

12:08 pm

cybernan

good explanation, car. I think there are a lot of Americans that are not aware of the huge lies Trump tells about Canada just to make himself look good. He even admitted that he lied and they still believe the lies he put forth.

12:09 pm

hego

We're supposed to be an international game. Let's show some tolerance.

12:09 pm

he lies about most everything nan..

12:09 pm

hego

Frankly, I would move to Canada in heartbeat.

12:09 pm

helenkeller

nan - we know this & please believe me, the majority of American are very much more upset and afraid than your are. Those of us who are first generation of Holocaust & WWII camp survivors are especially afraid, because we clearly see the similarities to Hitler. You are free to join these sites on FB & see the discussion for yourself. Believe me, most of this country is terrified.

12:10 pm

hego

I know Ruru.

12:10 pm

cybernan

that's true - although I have to admit that Canada has not lived up to our nato agreement and I find that embarassing

12:10 pm

rururocks

And Helen I've been playing this game since 2007 and I've never written F-off in the chat and FU... so please spare me the polite stuff

12:10 pm

TraderKate

LOL crleekat.. I really don't mind the jokes so much - we've been seeing them in sitcoms for years, because we are the only country that has as sense of humour and can poke fun at ourselves without a diplomatic incident arising from it. What is going on on the world stage is quite another matter though.

12:11 pm

helenkeller

ruru is correct - he lies about everything, he even lies about his lies. AND he walked in front of the Queen & she signed up and joined the ranks during WWII. She didn't have bone spurs.

Please go back to that day, July 4, 4:44pm and read the comments immediately following my FU remark. I believe the first one was "Standing ovation for hk." That ought to speak volumes to you.

I've been to Canada a few times. Toronto was unbelievably clean. I had the best turkey in my life at a Chinese Canadian restaurant in the middle of nowhere, so moist, so fresh, so turkey-tasting. Canadians were incredibly polite, except for the French speakers in Montreal, who brought me to the verge of tears. Luckily, while my mother was risking her life every day during WWII, being a courier, she spent a great deal of time in France & French was one of her 6 languages. So between us, a great time was had on all 3 visits to Canada. I have nothing but admiration for Canadians. They produce the best hockey players.

12:20 pm

The courtesy, kindness and hospitality in Canada is an example to people everywhere.

12:21 pm

helenkeller

ruru - I politely suggest you become a believer. She has truly hurt a great number of players. Cowed people into removing themselves from the chat. The chat is what brings us together, it is not her personal domain any longer.

12:22 pm

cybernan

lol helen - not sure when you were in Mtl, but the Party Quebecois people wander around with chips the size of logs on their shoulders -- it wasn't a slight to Americans - they treat all English speaking people that way!

12:22 pm

helenkeller

carlee - good to hear. The thing in Montreal happened, yikes, close to 40 years ago.

12:22 pm

12:23 pm

actually since your blow up Helen..she's been very polite and hasn't done anything. I'll say it again.. the chat was going along just fine without a problem until you tried to make a problem out of it

12:24 pm

helenkeller

nan - no need to be sorry. You're all good.

12:24 pm

I remember beinat at Banff around 1980. A French speaking ranger chewed out some English speaking folks. She claimed they thought her stupid

I go to BC a lot and I never have a problem visiting there.. I'm always feeling welcomed there

12:25 pm

*wanders in politely* I am up to 45 words and down to 34% on my laptop battery. I read the chog that was scrollable. Having been a target of the person in question, ruru, although that's not the reason I don't play during the school year, it is the reason I lurk most of the time when I do play. I don't enjoy having to wonder if that individual will suddenly show up to make fun of me or anyone else.

12:25 pm

carleekat

She has been ruru, however, it has been th habit in the past that slowly, incrementally, the behaviours drip back in, drip by drip until she is emboldened enough to start all over. HK was nipping that habit in the bud.

12:25 pm

bichon

ru, Molly has insulted me more than once.

12:26 pm

cybernan

ah, but ru -- you bring wine, don't you? ;)

12:26 pm

I loved Banff the time we went, Calgary was a strange combo of cowto4 and polished city. And Victoria/Vancouver/SSI are my second home.

12:26 pm

hego

Yes, he brings wine. lol

12:26 pm

helenkeller

ruru - What I've been told, again by very many Babblers (I myself used to be quite the chatter way back, I've known many Babblers for over a decade. We keep in touch.) is that this is a pattern. Someone calls her out, she lays low for a while, then starts up again. So, as I see it, the pattern continues again. But now, people will step up, we will not cease & desist. It would be lovely of you to believe us when we say WE HAVE BEEN HURT.

12:27 pm

helenkeller

Oh, and never an apology uttered once.

12:27 pm

I'm curious RuRuRocks- what exactly do you find u believable?

Thank you stiddy :)

12:28 pm

rururocks

i read the chat like you do soodle. I can tell what a joke is because 99.9% of the time i like to joke.. today's "Problem" was a joke and it takes nothing to set some people off on her.. everyone just calm down

12:29 pm

hego

Maybe if we let it drop, it would calm down.

12:29 pm

cybernan

it is not what is said a lot of the time, but the way that it is said --- today it came across as a criticism, not a joke

If people feel offended, they have a right to feel offended. no one person has the right to tell another person not to be offended.. that is the height of priviledge.

12:30 pm

Haz1558

Has she ever done or said anything that YOU consider to be snide or nasty, ruru? Maybe your perception is way off? If lots of people agree on something, perhaps you are the one who is wrong? Just a thought.

12:31 pm

Soodle

Other people joked. Crosshair, for example. He was absolutely targeted by Molly. All guns blazing. It was uncomfortable & unpleasant to read.

12:31 pm

helenkeller

I am perfectly calm. I am perfectly calm when I march in protest carrying a sign.

12:31 pm

TraderKate

I have been square in the sights of Milly for more than 10 years.. almost all my time on Babble.
If HK hadn't sid something I would have.
I am standing here saying that I won't allow here to agian control this chog. Today's comment was yet another passive-aggerssive snark which Mollly is honed to a fine art.. and as always it is framed in such a way that she can retreatinto the plasintive cry that it was only a joke if she is called on it. I have been watching this for a decasde It is not my imagination, and I am not over-sensitive.

12:31 pm

MollyL

Soodle, didn't you find it believable when I sent you the makings for S'Mores? Or when I sent a sympathy card when your Uncle died?

12:31 pm

hego

Haz! Good observation! I've missed you!

12:32 pm

helenkeller

Well Hellllooooo {{{Haz}}} Long time, no see! Perfectly stated.

12:32 pm

rururocks

actually yes Haz.. and I wrote to her about it and told her that it wasn't ok and we sorted it out

12:33 pm

Haz1558

That's okay as far as it goes, ruru, but in chat it comes across that she can do no wrong in your eyes and you defend her to the hilt.

12:33 pm

rururocks

And I have seen Molly apologize more than once

12:33 pm

Haz1558

That's what has been frustrating for so many.

12:33 pm

Soodle

I truly appreciated those gestures, Molly - more than I can articulate. However, your behaviour here in the chat is unacceptable.

12:33 pm

NANCY

helen, I agree with all those who have been hurt and ridiculed by person in question and I do not chat because of being put down and just lurk. I give you yet another standing o for speaking the truth of the matter.

12:33 pm

helenkeller

An apology is empty if the offending action is not changed.

12:34 pm

Haz1558

And would you comment on her recent icons? Mr Passive Aggressive, Nut jobs etc

12:34 pm

carleekat

Ruru, yes she apologizes when she is called on her behaviour. However, the behaviour never ever changes. in a few days, or a coupe weeks, hints of it erupt again.

12:34 pm

TraderKate

so Molly makes sure to play on Soodle's heart strings and tell us all what a loely caring person she is

PFFFFFFFT recognise that one Milly?

12:35 pm

Haz1558

My view is that she LOVES confrontations - loves to stir reactions.

12:35 pm

helenkeller

OMG NANCY!!!! First, you are indeed the biggest blast from the past to date, great to see you. Secondly, thank you for your support on this issue. We heart you.

Haz that is why my reaction to such people is just to shut them down and not react. Like they don't exist.

12:36 pm

Haz1558

I have steadfastly stayed away as much as possible from chat for years. My mantra, was 'nothing to do with me'. Sorry for the cowardice...

12:40 pm

yep, i stopped playing for a long time. a lot due to time constraints, but also partly due to a loss of the old vibe of the chog. the people i hung out with were no longer around.

12:41 pm

hego - yes, that's one way to avoid pain. Some of us, me, I am oversensitive and feel pain more than others. Due to TG-PTSD. I was raised by warriors, who were unable at times to avoid great pain, and at other times both inflicted great pain, actually killed a great many horrible individuals. I am not sitting by anymore.

Bonjour. l missed the drama again; I; for one think Molly is the smartestperson in here and actually writes in rezl English, no baby-talk or black vernacular.

12:45 pm

Hi Haz, have really missed your humor and participation in the chat. Hope everything is good for you.

Congrats Buggie!

ruby, lots of us are capable of writing real English. You like Molly because Molly is kind to you. She hasn't been kind to lots of people.

thanks, even though I really had nothing to do with it ;)

12:47 pm

Black vernacular??? What???

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

L don't know Heln, but all I know is that everything as fine here until she reappeared!

12:47 pm

helenkeller

Heya ruby!

12:47 pm

NANCY

well said Haz

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

"soul sista" for rxample

12:48 pm

Haz1558

Ruby doesn't like the way sprite and grannyrose speak to each other, that's the simplest explanation for the black vernacular comment.

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

L think it'ss disrespectful to black people

12:49 pm

helenkeller

well, anyone who does not absolutely love sprite has seriously personal issues in my book. People don't get any lovelier than sprite :)

12:49 pm

Haz1558

No, you just don't like them and you find any excuse to criticise them. Be honest.

12:49 pm

hego

Sprite is a love.

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

Helen, l think you need to be on serious meds or need thicker glasses

12:50 pm

cybernan

can imagine the noise Buggie -- we were in Paris once when some big game was won -- we were walking back to our hotel from a lovely dinner at a left bank restaurant when all of a sudden a horde of people and impromptu bands came pouring out of the surrounding bars -- all traffic came to a halt and horns were blaring.

12:50 pm

helenkeller

ruby - yah do know that many white folk in the South, they got this there thing called a Southern accent, and all ya'll would likely have a hard time understand them. That kinda talk is not limited to black people.

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

They've both been to France to visit and l think that very oftn they monopolize what used to be a pleasant chat andprovide too much information about their sex lives and bodily functions

12:51 pm

rururocks

haz.. GrannyRose recently visited and stayed with Ruby.. how can you say that

12:51 pm

Buggie

Thankfully I live on the outskirts of town, so the noise is pretty far away. But the other evening, when France won the previous match, I had to walk through town after work. I ended up making a serious detour to avoid most of the crowds

12:52 pm

Haz1558

Well, ruru, sprite also visited ruby years ago when her husband was still alive. She loved her before then, but refused to allow sprite to revisit when rose and her husband were in France as well. She has just gone off both of them (this is my observation) and often criticises them and their chats once they leave chat.

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

That's nonsense about the language! l've lived all over the US and anybody past 8th grade doesn't speak tht way. And those two artren't even <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<american!

12:52 pm

helenkeller

Okay, ruby, I will let that pass - this one time, as I could have worded my comment re: feelings toward sprite better. Just absolutely shocked anyone, anywhere would ever have a negative thing to say about sprite. I was just floored. We're even. No more name calling.

12:53 pm

helenkeller

yes hego - sprite IS a love

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

OK, truce, Helen.

12:53 pm

featherbee

I'm just kind of shocked about the black vernacular comment myself. Still not sure what to say about that.

12:54 pm

Haz1558

Look I get it. Sometimes people just annoy you - I remember feeling annoyed at the way my flatmate breathed, but to be so down on people and bring it into the public (in chat) is uncomfortable reading.

12:55 pm

rubyfoo

Featherbee: where in upstate NY? l taught elem school in Binghamto,n

12:55 pm

rururocks

it is a bit over the top some nights haz.. really.. if you read it

12:55 pm

featherbee

i'm right in the b'ton area

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

THEY brng it into the chat!

12:56 pm

Haz1558

I do read it and it's not my style either. My feeling is that ruby needs to talk/e-mail directly with them rather than sniping afterwards.

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

My 1st husband taught at SUNY

12:57 pm

if I saw it, I would say something. I have not. My fault, as i have not been here. SHould I see it, I will say something.

12:57 pm

Hae, l have written to each of them separately to discuss what is approprizte

12:57 pm

Haz1558

Okay, I'm glad to hear it, ruby.

12:57 pm

helenkeller

Ya'll are talking apples and oranges: What people say to each other, in conversation is one thing. What one person says ABOUT other, mostly after they are gone is another. The latter is the problem. The previous are personal choices that we've always respected and never criticized.

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

l wouldn't do that

12:58 pm

rururocks

i certainly am guilty of making sick jokes and make jokes that are edgier.. but i try to keep it within bounds and limited to almost adult humor..

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

You'" wrong, helen, they've both been chide directly 'TMO" after discussions of their sex lives -- l think that's pretty direct

12:59 pm

TraderKate

<-----loves ruru's jokes (especasilly the off-colour ones :D

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

<thinks ru is very funny

12:59 pm

helenkeller

ruru - your jokes are stand alone jokes, and yes, mostly every clever. Your jokes are not direct insults to other players. That's the difference.

12:59 pm

hego

agree

No, ruby, the stirrer in chief is not hk. You just have been unaware of what has been going on for years. Molly has been kind to you, she is kind to some babblers but not to others. It's the others who are revolting.

7:14 pm

doseffing

7:15 pm

stidmama

This grid seems tricker than yesterday's -- not just bigger, there are so many E tiles!

7:16 pm

doseffing

... e's aren't hard ... two of them are blanked ... good luck with the r's though

7:17 pm

magazinemom

I just said to hubby what this grid needed was another "E". LOL

7:17 pm

doseffing

.. oops ... three of them are blanked

7:17 pm

stidmama

LOL I guess we all have our strengths. Clearly vowels are not one of mine!

7:18 pm

stidmama

I got the 8 by myself though, so that was nice. *proud mama look*

7:18 pm

magazinemom

JenMO16

Hi stimama

7:23 pm

JenMO16

anyone have a clue for de7,32?

7:23 pm

stidmama

hey Jen! How's the weather for you? We left my grandfather's town on Friday (it was over a hundred there) -- glad to get home where it only rarely tops 90.... and today it topped 100 at our house! *melted mama look*

7:24 pm

JenMO16

HOT

7:24 pm

JenMO16

We are supposed to getting rain sometime soon.....

7:24 pm

stidmama

looking for that one Jen (I have a de 7/44 if you need it)

7:25 pm

JenMO16

No, I have that one

7:25 pm

magazinemom

Jen- how hot is it up your way? We got up to 98 today, but supposed to be up to 107 on Thurs.

7:26 pm

stidmama

AH! looks like the french posterior word, only means thread count.

7:27 pm

magazinemom

we did just get some lovely storms.

7:27 pm

stidmama

or something like that... it's an alternative cuss word to start, and a "more so" type ending

7:27 pm

stidmama

and there is an fe 7/40 with same spelling (just found it!)

7:27 pm

JenMO16

We have been up that far with indices in the 100s, but 90s all week.

7:28 pm

stidmama

That's just too hot, my friends! Time to open the babble pool, methinks! Iced MJCLs on standby. :-D

7:28 pm

magazinemom

Yes, index today waas 107. My perspiration had perspiration

7:28 pm

JenMO16

I need more information, not clear on your clue

7:29 pm

stidmama

okay, DE + abbreviation for a highly skilled nurse + "more so" three letters

7:29 pm

stidmama

the fe is a plant + more so (three letters)

7:29 pm

magazinemom

fe7 is the plant, but more of it.

7:30 pm

JenMO16

got it, thanks stid

7:31 pm

stidmama

I should be penalized 100 points just for the fishies I have missed! *sigh* melted brains are not conducive to thoughtful wordcraft.

7:31 pm

pam

I still see only one af5 and my icon won't change. What a babble conundrum. :) .

7:32 pm

stidmama

there's an AF 5??? *dashes off to look*

7:32 pm

pam

And hi stid and everyone else I missed during my re-boot.

7:32 pm

stidmama

AHA! thanks pam!

7:33 pm

pam

Stid, I think there are 2? Unless I read chog incorrectly. And let's face it, reading chog is not always easy, LOL!

7:34 pm

stidmama

true enough -- I only read the archives when I must... not sure if today will qualify

7:35 pm

pam

Usually, I don't care about the clues, etc. I rarely, rarely finish. I like just poking around. But something about af words....

7:37 pm

stidmama

Hm. I'll keep looking...

7:38 pm

stidmama

yep. found one. Do you want a clue?

7:38 pm

stidmama

it's from the A in the bottom row.

7:40 pm

JenMO16

Well, I got more than half the words and getting bored. See you all soon.

7:41 pm

stidmama

well done, Jen! Have a lovely evening.

7:41 pm

JenMO16

Thanks, stidmama!

7:41 pm

stidmama

I want one more word, then I will have NBT, NBS, and 100 words which is pretty good, listless.

7:42 pm

stidmama

and just got it. LOL I'll be back and forth for a while. My laptop is still at 90% so I have a bit of time to hang out.

7:53 pm

pam

Hi, stid--I have that one; is there only one af5?

7:54 pm

wvteach

AF 5 x 2

7:55 pm

pam

I have the af+ plus the fabric dye. Can someone clue the other? And thanks, wvteach!

7:55 pm

Sorry to hear about your shoulder, Kate. Hope it feels better soon. x

too early for ice. shouls be heat, not today tho

*Waves hi back to everyone.*

9:04 pm

featherbee

i've seen the first one or two in their entirety

9:05 pm

TraderKate

just a strange knot.... it is loosening slowly. sure it will be fine

9:05 pm

Jacula

Re Kate's shoulder injury - I found ice made my worse and heat helped more. I also got a portable TENS machine which helped enormously with the pain.

9:05 pm

helenkeller

fbee - seriously with 2 boys? That's it. Maybe it's for the best, sadder things start to happen.

9:06 pm

featherbee

i dislike TENS machines, they feel funny

9:06 pm

right jacula...

Hey, Jac!

Hi Pam.

love j parks

9:06 pm

i'm letting them stay up late. seems mean to say "turn it off" at this particular moment!

9:06 pm

helenkeller

Someone else please weigh in on the TENS machine, I've been debating getting one. fbee - did it at least work?

9:07 pm

featherbee

i think it probably did, i just really disliked the feeling. had it when i had PT for my shoulder. i had them turn it to the lowest setting. i've not heard anyone else say they don't like it though, i'm in the minority i believe!

9:08 pm

helenkeller

You're a good mom fbee.

9:08 pm

Jacula

I love my TENS machine - there are lots of different settings and you can vary the intensity of each setting.

9:08 pm

featherbee

i'm a sucker is what i am, lol!

9:09 pm

featherbee

they've brushed teeth, gotten pj's on, and swear they'll go straight to bed

9:09 pm

helenkeller

I remember I was in PT for something when they first came out. My therapist said, no, I didn't need one. I wasn't in pain, I was working on range of motion.

9:09 pm

got my fireworks and now have to go deal wiht 18-year-old boy drama. niters all

9:10 pm

i had a calcification in my shoulder...working on range of motion as well, and breaking it apart

9:10 pm

fbee - NO, not a sucker, a sweet, kind, thoughtful mom, who is flexible - very important

9:10 pm

featherbee

congrats magazinemom

9:10 pm

helenkeller

YAY for magmom!!!!!!

9:10 pm

Jacula

You must never use a TEN machine over a bone - that causes swelling and discomfort. But the instructions do tell you where to place the pads for relief in varous places.

9:10 pm

Jacula

Well done magmom. xx

9:11 pm

pam

Yay, magnum!

9:11 pm

if you get a myscle stim zapper...pay the$ to go to proper pt fiest to see exactly where they place [pads 1-2 inches off can be detrimental

9:13 pm

Jacs - Did you just try to fix 'varous' with 'varlous'? You're cracking me up! :)

9:16 pm

Jacula

I can't understand what you keep getting stamped on in there, Kate. I 'like' lots of posts but it's never happened to me. It happened once, years ago, when I shared lots of music links in quick succession.

9:17 pm

TraderKate

they are idiots....simple.

9:17 pm

Jacula

*Damn! I meant 'why' you keep getting stamped on.* Dives into grid to find more words.

i have a theory, facebok has a secret limit on "liking" or something like that, and you are topping out.

9:18 pm

and defeated in 3...2...1...

9:19 pm

helenkeller

Gwen - really? I never heard that before, but makes perfect sense.

9:20 pm

excepte in the last 2 days less than usual time in fb....but agreed gwen... i think counter is brken for me. there have been a few others....but not as often as me

9:20 pm

just a theory -- I mean if I spent as much timeon facebok as you to, Kate, I might end up in Like jail too 8 - )

9:20 pm

TraderKate

is he dead now?

9:20 pm

Jacula

I could have sworn I'd already put kn4/8 in - you know that thing I frequently post about doing on FB.

9:21 pm

TraderKate

i think it is a fuzzy logic rolling average....

9:21 pm

TraderKate

haha jac...figures

9:22 pm

helenkeller

Jacs, and what excellent work that is too :)

9:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

could be a rolling average. you could experiemtn with cutting down on your "liking" to let's say only 50 a day and see what happens LOL

9:23 pm

(experiment)

9:28 pm

Goodnight to those who are going. Sleep well.xx

9:29 pm

no not political, but a post is a post...if they are counting the number of likes I make.... sigh

I got my last 20+ words quickly because they were either oddly spelled versions of words or words I'm sure I'd already entered hours ago.

9:31 pm

helenkeller

You went way faster than me Jacs. I had 29 when you had 20. Now I'm at 19.

9:32 pm

Jacula

Just yell if you need any clues, helen.

9:32 pm

helenkeller

Thank, I just may.

9:33 pm

Jacula

I guess I'm going to have to change my FB banner of HM peeping out now, since 'he' has gone. It went down very well though! :)

9:36 pm

Jacula

37 of the 38 people who 'liked' it also 'shared' it.

9:36 pm

TraderKate

i wantrd to share...poor friends, gave them a break.

9:36 pm

Jacula

Oh, no, actually, some of the people who 'shared' it are different people.

9:41 pm

TraderKate

!

9:43 pm

Jacula

Still FB friends, Kate, but not all of them had also clicked on 'like'. Actually, that annoys me slightly when people share without liking, but I guess they think I've guessed they like it because I can see that they've shared it. lol

9:45 pm

Jacula

*Shouts to Helen down in the depths of the grid... 'YOU ALL RIGHT DOWN THERE? NEED ANY HELP?'*

9:45 pm

helenkeller

firewords :)

9:45 pm

TraderKate

i try to credit when I share, and say ty...not always tho. it doesn't seem to be a common thing tho... new FB etiquette?

9:45 pm

helenkeller

But thanks for asking Jacs :)

9:46 pm

TraderKate

congratulations hk!!!

9:48 pm

helenkeller

I always post to poster that I am sharing. I limit myself to 'The Share of the Day.' Only the one, almost always political now. Unless I come across something super interesting like the 100+ radioactive dogs that live at Chernobyl. Vets & caretakers are there round the clock - very cool.

I see Haz was here earlier. That reminds me, I owe her a long overdue reply to her last letter.

Jealous libs has legal pot. But no, it's changed so much since I was young, way too strong now, not a mellow high. :)

9:51 pm

Yes, it was great to see Haz!

9:51 pm

No, not going to write one right now, Kate. But I'll find Haz's last missive and reply to it this week. lol

When I broke my knee in Sept. I was pescribed Oxycodone-- was horrible-- no sleep, constipation & even hallucinations! BF's sister got me some MJ gummies & they worked great! No pain + pleasant buzz-- also slept fine..

9:56 pm

there ya go! I am all for the stuff.. lots of evidence about lower doses and kinds of pain meds with [pot

9:56 pm

libarebel

I am lucky that it's now legal here... (Massachusetts)

9:56 pm

Jacula

It's going to be an expensive week for me since I have to order a new king-sized mattress before the miracoil springs come through ours and spear one of us AND I need to sort out a new gas fire (since our old was has been condemned by the gas authority). Don't want to leave either too long. But I'll continue to keep re-taping the arm onto my Â£600 rimless varifocals for now.

9:57 pm

TraderKate

glasses can'r be repaired jac?

9:58 pm

Jacula

A woman got a court ruling and brought cannabis oil in through customs legally for the first time in UK last week. It's to help her son, who gets severe epileptic fits that impact upon the quality of his life.

9:58 pm

libarebel

Helen, you're right about potency-- I always check to find out if cannabinoid (edgy), or Sativa (vert mellow)...

9:58 pm

helenkeller

lins - so we have opposite reactions. I've not had oxycodone, I've had hydrocodone. Pretty much the same thing. Bone on bone arthritis in my hip - car vs. bike when I was 15, car won. Anyway, that there was a great buzz, I felt great, highly motivated, tons of energy, none of the terrible stuff you suffered with.

9:59 pm

TraderKate

goodc for her...and whomever okated ut

9:59 pm

helenkeller

Dang Jacs, those are some expensive specs!!!

10:00 pm

helenkeller

I know this because I looked up purse money for Wimbledon now, and it was in pounds, so had to convert.

10:00 pm

Jacula

Opticians won't repair specs anymore here, Kate. Nor put old lenses into new frames. The cost they add and that the factories add, makes it as expensive or sometimes more expensive than buying a completely new pair. Crazy, when we should all be doing our best to repair and recycle. But, as with every other item made not to last these days, profit is king and b*gger the future. :(

Yes, Helen-- I've heard from people who really like Oxy and are glad it was for short term only-- said they could well have become addicted-- people' physical composition really varies...

10:02 pm

10:03 pm

helenkeller

libs - yes, has high addiction potential, they're working so hard to cut down the prescribing now, that even when it's called for, I can't get it. Had terrible busted ribs earlier this year, I got Tylenol 3. Please. Night & day.

10:03 pm

helenkeller

Niters libs, great chatting with you.

10:04 pm

TraderKate

niters lib!

10:04 pm

helenkeller

Jacs - I totally agree with everything you said about repairing & recycling. Greed is King/Queen/entire Court.

10:04 pm

libarebel

I've heard that physical addiction can occur after only 3 days' use..

10:05 pm

Jacula

libarebel - Co codamol is probably the equivalent in the UK and I was prescribed a high dose of that to take along with Paracetemol after a couple of operations. The constipation it caused was worse than the pain it was supposed to ease... and so I stopped taking it and put up with the post-op pain.

10:06 pm

libarebel

'Nite, helen Kate, Jac et. al.

10:06 pm

TraderKate

if you have to take this stuff...eat a tbsp of oil...your choice with each dose. (greasy potato chips work too)

10:07 pm

I have had "oxys" only once in my life. They were prescribed to me when they opened up my ankle to remove a bunch of bone spurs. At the time I had never even heard of this family of drugs. they were, without a doubt, the strongest painkillers that I have ever had in my life in tablet form, and it was a good thing there were not many repeats on it!

10:07 pm

TraderKate

vrossy!!!

10:07 pm

before I split (hippiedom strikes when I go to smoke), Jac-- you are SO right about constipation psin being worse!

10:10 pm

TraderKate

10:11 pm

Jacula

Crossy - You're right about them being strong! My second course of them was two weeks after the gall bladder removal . The ones I was one messed with my head so much that I fell backwards down a flight of stairs and dislocated my collar bone. Then I needed more of the damned things.
