zoozzoom

I wanted 'triangly' to be a word lol

12:01 pm

rururocks

i'd be geometrically opposed to that Zooz

12:02 pm

zoozzoom

Don't be square, Ruru lol

12:04 pm

Judi

Yay! I found the bat shit!

12:04 pm

zoozzoom

I liked how Ruru and pun was in the grid yesterday!

12:04 pm

having a few physical problems but trying to ignore them. I have had enough of doctors in the past three years

12:22 pm

Change. One of the vowels, Judi.

12:23 pm

Judi

Super. Thanks, zooz!@

12:23 pm

zoozzoom

Sorry to hear that, Jaxx.

12:25 pm

jaxx7

I am finding this grid slow going.

12:25 pm

Judi

Don't cha just get sick of them, Jax. Confirmed what I figured. Need ankle surgery to repair achilles problem. Need back surgery (again!) to fix bulging disc, etc. that is causing nerve pain in my back, leg & groin. **** eye roll ***

12:26 pm

jaxx7

I blame old age, Judi, it sure hasn't come alone here

12:26 pm

zoozzoom

My mother has diverticulitis really bad she has had enough of doctors too.

12:27 pm

Judi

Alas. Must get it all taken care of while I still have the health care coverage through work.

12:27 pm

zoozzoom

Ouch! Sorry to hear that, Judi.

12:27 pm

jaxx7

She has my sympathy. The cancer op means I have to have a colonoscopy annually and that always sets me back.

12:28 pm

rururocks

that'd be a pain in the ass for sure

12:29 pm

Judi

Back problem causing most pain. So, I guess I'll get that done first. Good news is, spine doc who did my first surgery can do the next surgery.

12:29 pm

jaxx7

It definitely is, Ru

12:29 pm

zoozzoom

Yeah as soon as she eats up it comes again.

12:29 pm

jaxx7

Mine is the other end.

12:29 pm

zoozzoom

Oh Ru, you do make me smile.

12:30 pm

Judi

Lilterally, Ru. L3 - S2. Lowest lumbar to sacral area. Don't imagine I'll be sitting down too much afterwards.

12:30 pm

zoozzoom

Yeah it is both ,Jaxx.

12:30 pm

Judi

The curse of sitting at a desk for 30+ yeras.

12:32 pm

jaxx7

My husband was a trawlerman and salmon netsman and that has taken a similar toll on him

12:32 pm

zoozzoom

Is it sitting wrong for 30 years, Judi?

12:33 pm

Judi

No, Zooz. Combination of daily compression, arthritis, stenosis. Bone overgrowth from first surgery. Blah blah blah.

12:34 pm

zoozzoom

((Judi))

12:36 pm

rururocks

sounds rough you guys

12:37 pm

Judi

But first, vacation. I'll hobble around Arizona and get some damn sun before I'm stuck in a hospital at at home.

12:37 pm

jaxx7

I have three more words for the 100 and I have decided That's enough.

12:38 pm

zoozzoom

Good going, Jaxx

12:38 pm

jaxx7

make that 2.

12:38 pm

libarebel

an 7,40 is not in Enableâ€” I wonder if itâ€™s a new word reflecting the real national emergency in the US?

12:39 pm

jaxx7

We're having fun here with Brexit. It's all happening

12:41 pm

zoozzoom

Getting on my nerves. Probably got another two years of it too.

12:42 pm

zoozzoom

Ah but will anything change, Libarebel.

12:42 pm

jaxx7

I suspect politicians have for gotten that thye represent us and our taxes pay their inflated wages and expenses. They also think the electorate are braindead.

12:42 pm

libarebel

Good question (sigh)

12:43 pm

libarebel

But the Nov. Blue Wave proved that some of us are paying attention...

12:44 pm

jaxx7

1 more word to 100

12:45 pm

zoozzoom

You mean most of them represent themselves and say they represent the people, Jaxx :-)

12:46 pm

jaxx7

Exactly. They want to get their snouts in the EU trough.

12:46 pm

rururocks

i propose that here in the US when there is another government shut down.. to also not pay Congress and the Senate.. that should speed along resolution

12:46 pm

jaxx7

That is a good idea, Ru

12:47 pm

zoozzoom

Ha! Yeah like that's going to happen.

12:48 pm

zoozzoom

At lest some staff get a McDonalds from trump.

12:48 pm

zoozzoom

Least*

12:49 pm

jaxx7

When the next General election gets here we should repeat the voting until we get the result we want - a logical extension of the second referendum debacle.

12:50 pm

jaxx7

I understood that was because the staff who usually cook for banquets etc wre not able to work.

12:51 pm

jaxx7

were, even

12:51 pm

libarebel

Maybe one of his Big Macs will be the last straw for DT-- but, as a person who tries to be good, I can't wish it on him, but neither would I cry...

12:51 pm

clg47

ru 6/27 pls

12:52 pm

zoozzoom

I voted to stay in. But the majority of people voted to leave so that is what should happen. Iam not happy about it but I respect the decision.

12:53 pm

libarebel

my grammar is a bit off today...

12:53 pm

jaxx7

As a retired fisherman's wife and the debacle over fishing grounds, I voted out.

12:54 pm

akazev

Hi zoozzoom. Same thing happened in 1933 inGermany

12:55 pm

zoozzoom

12:57 pm

jaxx7

Thanks, Zooz. That's my 100 so I am off now. Have a good babble and chat. Bye

12:57 pm

1:54 pm

clg47

I have done the same

1:54 pm

libarebel

thanks for clarification, artdr-- no wonder I couldn't find any!

1:55 pm

artdr

Ur welcome

1:55 pm

libarebel

ty, clg47-- I don't feel as "toopid"!

1:59 pm

clg47

I don't think anyone that is addicted to Babble is 'toopid' because we are on a quest to learn. The hard part is trying to remember the unique and seldom used words.

2:01 pm

libarebel

you are right, clg47-- Babblets & obscure words as well

2:02 pm

libarebel

Thanks to artdr-- I now have all cl words!

2:04 pm

libarebel

I do look up all words that I monkey & don't know-- I can then justify sitting on my butt & babbling as educational...

cybernan

getting to feel the same way, molly
