to6. pull along + last bit of a laugh

12:30 am

grannyrose

wo6. not play + not down

12:30 am

cybernan

ty -- didn't think that would be one word

12:31 am

Kamanjah

thanks for the bird, Rose! *Hugs*

12:31 am

grannyrose

neither did i...*wry grin*

12:31 am

grannyrose

hugs to dear Kam too. xox

12:32 am

grannyrose

the other sixes are reasonably easy.

WTG JESSMOM!!!

WTG, Jessmom!

12:34 am

jessmom

Thanks!

grannyrose

hey kam. went to the gym today. actually extended all my exercises. before i went, my muscles were pretty sore. even endone didn't help. so i took a magnesium tablet. and, as they say, the rest is history.

12:38 am

Kamanjah

I hope you mean the mag helped? I always helps me.

12:38 am

Kamanjah

And good on you for going to the gym!!!

12:38 am

grannyrose

yeah, the mag helped enormously.

12:38 am

cybernan

not seeing that fe 7

12:39 am

Kamanjah

Yay! Which kind do you use? I use several, but the chelated glucinate is best for muscles imo.

12:39 am

grannyrose

fe7. most of what happened when i tripped + alternative spelling of lumpy growth on skin

12:40 am

cybernan

ty rose -- new one for me (among others) *!*~*!*

12:40 am

grannyrose

i use the magnesium malate. the bonding agent is made from apples and so it is very rapidly absorbed. like 10 minutes and you can feel the effect.

12:40 am

grannyrose

WTG DIZGRANNIE!!!

12:41 am

Kamanjah

FE is actually a plant with purple flowers. So many plants have that ending

12:41 am

grannyrose

i have to import it from the USA. our stupid drug people won't approve it for us.

12:42 am

Kamanjah

I use malate too, but my doc kept pushing the glycinate, so I tried it. Less mg for more relief. I still use the malate every night too

12:44 am

Kamanjah

I think I have 5 different mags in the cupboard now, lol! All have a specific purpose, and some you don't want every day ;)

12:44 am

grannyrose

when mother mac was alive she had night cramps quite severely. just after she came to live with us, i suggested she try mag mal. for the first time in over 30 years she slept a whole night through. she was so excited and happy.

12:45 am

Kamanjah

That's great!

12:46 am

Kamanjah

Also, I think I'll ask M to try it...his doc gave him a drug to help him sleep...it knocked him on his patootie for two days. Maybe the malate will help him.

12:47 am

grannyrose

i get scalp cramps which are the absolute pits. the start on the lower le4 side of my neck and travel up, over my scalp to myle4 eyebrow. when i have one of those babies i could quite cheerfully cut my own throat.

12:48 am

grannyrose

maybe try him with some valerian or chamomile?

12:48 am

Kamanjah

Eww, sounds awful! I get TMJ cramps, but massage usually works. I

12:49 am

Kamanjah

Chamomile, yeah, valerian has contraindications for both of us. Poor guy is so tired tonight after fixing the generator so we could run the fridge and stuff...at least we still have power tonight. Major blessing!

12:50 am

Kamanjah

I think I have wild fingers tonight - missing letters, extra letters....no stress here...NOT

12:50 am

melonheadjujube

hi, all

12:51 am

melonheadjujube

12:52 am

Kamanjah

His birthday was yesterday. Started with having to boil water for coffee his coffee - I was still asleep. We couldn't go out for dinner because there wasn't a restaurant open in town.

12:52 am

Kamanjah

Hi Melon!

12:52 am

grannyrose

yeah. only a few words extend beyond their 4 letter start.

12:52 am

melonheadjujube

hi, Kamanjah (:

12:52 am

grannyrose

hokie carla

I was surprised awol was allowed the other day, but quite a few acronyms have made it into a dictionary. awol has been around forever. potus, otoh I never heard until the 2000s, but maybe that's just me.

8:15 am

MollyL

It's just like anything else. Enable is selective about what it accepts and what it doesn't. There doesn't seem to be any logical criteria for inclusion or exclusion.

8:15 am

hokie carla

exactly

8:15 am

MollyL

My favorite is that it will take French for shit, but not French for thank you.

8:15 am

doseffing

... perhaps Potus is always or usually used as a proper noun so it doesn't make it to the dictionary while awol describes a state of being

8:16 am

hokie carla

also, it won't take shite. come one!

8:16 am

hokie carla

on

8:20 am

hokie carla

looks like POTUS was around in the 60s but reached peak use in 2000.

8:21 am

72 Temple Owl

potus is an acronym...

8:21 am

MollyL

I would say shite is a made up word, but so is arvo and it takes that.

8:21 am

72 Temple Owl

as is AWOL, which to enable can also be a noun that can be pluralized.

8:22 am

hokie carla

yes, we are discussing the acceptance of some acronyms but not others

8:23 am

hokie carla

I can see it being used as a noun - an absence without leave

8:24 am

72 Temple Owl

*goes back to wokring grid*

8:25 am

done and outta here
