12:32 am
hurshy
the ch7 i found is also part of a 7-8, dunno if that's the same that Rainiqui found
12:33 am
Rainiqui
my ch is 7/36
12:33 am
hurshy
mine also
12:34 am
SamanthaJoy
Mine's also a 7/36, but there's no 8 associated with it; it's a 6/7 pair
12:34 am
hurshy
ok, mine plurals to 8
12:34 am
hurshy
oh i found your guyses one too now, it's more normal :)
12:35 am
hurshy

12:39 am
hurshy

12:39 am
SamanthaJoy
G'night. Thanks for al your help you guys!
12:39 am
Lizlin
Sleep well.
12:39 am
Lizlin
Can't help, Hurshy.
12:40 am
Rainiqui
wanna hint for the di 8 and 9?
12:40 am
hurshy
yeah, esp if they are weird
12:41 am
Rainiqui
think crystal - I actually have one set in a ring
12:43 am
Rainiqui
it's blue green
12:44 am
hurshy
well, i never heard of that, but thinking of word forms for that type of thing eventually got me there! thanks :)
12:44 am
hurshy
aha, and i thought of the po
12:45 am
Lizlin
Thanks, Rain - had to google it. Never heard of it before.
12:45 am
Rainiqui
do you still need the di 7?
12:45 am
Lizlin
Not me, thanks
12:46 am
hurshy
nope, have that one
12:46 am
hurshy
it's the se8 that i haven't spotted
12:46 am
Rainiqui
The crystal was driving me nuts because I KNEW iot was there
12:46 am
ARB
elongated spelling of a se6
12:47 am
Lizlin
BBL. thanks for the help.
12:47 am
hurshy
ahh thanks ARB
12:47 am
SamanthaJoy
It's a group of seven, hurshy
12:47 am
hurshy
i think we've called all but one 7, all but one 8, and, well, one of the two 9s
12:47 am
hurshy
oh and so the other 9 is se9!
12:48 am
SamanthaJoy
And D'OH! I would have missed the shorter version of the se7 if you hadn't mentioned it, ARB.
1:00 am
Rainiqui
May I get a hint on the ce 8 please?
1:01 am
hurshy
i second that cemotion
1:01 am
SamanthaJoy
First four letters of a hundred year period, vowel, affectionate term for sibling
1:02 am
hurshy

i second that cemotion
1:02 am
Rainiqui
got it - thanks a bunch !
1:03 am
SamanthaJoy
You're welcome!
1:03 am
hurshy
oh just FEEL FREE to ignore my entertaining SILLINESS why dontcha
1:04 am
SamanthaJoy
Has it ever occurred to you that "my soul was in the lost and found, 'til you came along to claim it" is, actually, a creepy as hell line?
1:05 am
SamanthaJoy
I mean, why is this guy picking up something from the lost and found that isn't his?
1:08 am
hurshy
because lovers frequently say that their souls were seeking each other and finally found them
1:09 am
hurshy
like in that song from Twilight, "i have loved you for a thousand years, i'll love you for a thousand more"
1:10 am
SamanthaJoy
I've got 34 left, but I promised my husband I'd go to bed, ohhhhh, *checks time* ten minutes ago, so I'm off. See y'all tomorrow.
1:10 am
hurshy
but how about ELVIS when he sang "you know i'll be your slave if you ask me to, but if you don't behave, i'll walk right out on you" - fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of slavery right there

good morning all

Kamanjah
Hi Sprite
1:45 am
sprite
hello dear one *hugs Kam*
How are you and your beloved doing today?
1:45 am
Kamanjah
Doing ok, thanks! And how are you, your beloved, and all the prep for sale doing?
1:46 am
sprite
uhuh no no not 11 Ks
1:46 am
sprite
we are all good, lol. Bit stressed, but that is normal. Good realtor, takes all the work except the sorting and throwing out and cleaning right off our hands.
1:47 am
sprite
has your beloved been to the doctor again yet?
1:47 am
Kamanjah
A good realtor is a real blessing!
1:48 am
Kamanjah
He talked with them, they prescribed something his insurance denied, so we have to call tomorrow. We have another similar med - it is actually the mirror image of the new one they liked...it's older, and has been around longer, and it's what he asked for in the first place.
1:49 am
Kamanjah
I hope they say try it since we have a full bottle!
1:49 am
sprite
sounds like they have to stop pushing new drugs the sales representatives are promoting and simply give him what he needs and wants
1:50 am
Kamanjah
Yes, these doctors want to prescribe all the fancy EXPENSIVE stuff! Insane. Maddening, especially when you look up how much money Big Pharma$$ paid them over the past years...grrrr
1:51 am
sprite
here they did a good thing about that. In stead of all the brand names, most drugs now have a generic one with the active ingredient as a name, far less expensive and the only one that is covered by insurance.
1:52 am
sprite
of course, that is not possible in the first few years of a new med, because then they are covered by some rule... about the investments they must make to invent the medication, so they are allowed to get their money back.
1:52 am
Kamanjah
this was a generic that was denied. The pharmacy said his secondary coverage denied too, but I don't even think they checked. Tomorrow is a new day for more phone calls.
1:53 am
Kamanjah
It has a longer half life, so lasts longer. We didn't find out about the denial until after hours, so have to wait.
1:53 am
sprite
and so on and so forth. Better not add up all the time and energy that goes into the phonecall dance.
1:55 am
Kamanjah
sigh - and he gets stressy on those types of calls, and the people on the other end have to get specific permission to talk to me, which makes it harder. Oh well. Not looking forward to it, but it has to be done. He is actually doing pretty well overall - and realized he has cut his main PD med more than he thought he had, so that made him smile.
1:56 am
sprite
ah good. And so nice he can smile again with his face showing it :)
1:57 am
Kamanjah
:) lovin' that!
2:11 am
sprite
tastee - the one on the tip of your tongue
2:14 am
Kamanjah
ah, fireworks!

thanks! This one was pretty easy for me. Have a lovely day, Sprite! *hugs*

2:19 am
grannyrose
don much better although the cough is persistent. *sigh* had gym today. physio had upped the reps on some of my exercises, and put in a new one. fortunately for me, she was busy chatting to another patient, so i skipped out the door without doing it. loll
2:20 am
grannyrose
legs a little stiff and achy tho.
2:20 am
sprite
very good, my friend. *calming vibes to your legs*
2:20 am

my body did a number on me. Out of the blue severe period. Guess my mirena is empty, sigh.
2:22 am
grannyrose
oh yuck. poor you.
2:23 am
sprite
yeah. Severe cramps, pain, tiredness, bleeding. All severe. And tomorrow off to germany. Am so so grateful I do not have to go by public transportation!
2:24 am
grannyrose
good for you finding a positive in the middle of all of it. xoxox
2:24 am
sprite
ah well, this too shall pass. Worse things in life. And all that crap.
2:25 am
sprite
always, honey :D Takes more than this to beat me. I added a new word to our dictionary:
tastee - the one on the tip of your tongue
2:26 am
grannyrose
*giggle* love it
2:28 am
sprite
today is a lowkey day for me. Just preparing for germany. Am thinking of making a fruit salad and a normal salad to take along for the lunch and in-betweens. I kinda hate sandwiches that have been in plastic for a while.
2:28 am
grannyrose
i managed to get another lot of little things done today. stuff like new hair conditioner, couple of new "loud" shirts for don, and some t-shirts to wear when in the hospital.
2:29 am
sprite
oh wonderful, rose, good job!
2:29 am
grannyrose
i had bought some new pj's and they had pretty pale pink tops. but when i put the top on, the "girls" were on show. tres embarrassment.
2:30 am

2:31 am

I actually remembered to put my favorite nightie in the laundry yesterday, it is about dry now. Along with my warm wrap.
2:32 am
grannyrose

2:33 am
sprite
yeah :) *happy dance*
2:35 am
grannyrose
i try to keep a bag packed for hospital at all times. makes it easy for don. plus i can have my fave stuff ready to have with me.
2:35 am

2:42 am

2:43 am

9:45 am
moolingwa
you mean get behind in your payments?
9:45 am
rururocks
that too
9:45 am
rururocks
I'd imagine the treasurer would have a lot of booty
9:46 am
moolingwa
their motto might be the more the derriere
9:47 am
rururocks
being the chairman of the club could be a tushy position
9:47 am
moolingwa
that would be the highest seat though
9:48 am
rururocks
people enter the facility only from the backside of the building
9:49 am
moolingwa
I wonder if they call their chapters colonies

9:51 am
moolingwa

9:52 am
rururocks
thank you for the di9.. not seeing the se 9
9:52 am
moolingwa
maybe it's a small group of that certain number
9:53 am
MLFAN17
not seeing either
9:53 am
moolingwa
needed the stats to get the di...that's a little odd one
9:53 am

9:54 am
MLFAN17

moolingwa
best not to look at the board when solving that one, you might think it's not there
9:54 am
mattygroves
Still not seeing that se9 - maybe I'm not looking hard enough, though, as I am at work (naughty me)!)

12:14 pm
mkg

moolingwa
a group of a certain number, extends from the same meaning 6
12:15 pm
mkg
i have a se 8 now but no other
12:16 pm
moolingwa
make the 8 plural
12:17 pm
moolingwa
and shorten it for the 6
12:17 pm
moolingwa
and modify it to get another 7
12:18 pm
mkg
it wont do the plural for some reason. must be i need to modify. not sure how. i have the se 5 also
12:18 pm
moolingwa
there's only one se8
12:18 pm
mkg
ok i modified and got it. ty.
12:18 pm
moolingwa
make sure you're not typoing it

Gas explosions are not related to terrorism. The Massachusetts gas-and-electric company, however (I don't know what they're called; each state has its own, if not several) were in process of "upgrading" its gas valves.
