Morning all

1:11 am

grannyrose

cooee my darling. XOXOXOXOXOX

1:12 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hallo my bestie, how are you doing today?

1:13 am

grannyrose

okay. stayed home when himself went out today. it was the Toyrun today when motorcyclists all over everywhere donate toys to the Salvation Army for distribution to poorer families.

1:14 am

grannyrose

i didn't feel safe enough to be in the car with him for such a long drive.

1:14 am

sprite

ah that is a nice thing to do.

1:14 am

sprite

no, a wise decision.

1:16 am

grannyrose

i sent a large bag of feminine sanitary products. i found out that the homeless have resorted to using old socks at that time. it made my heart break.

1:16 am

sprite

can you imagine? Good thinking, honey.

1:17 am

sprite

ks killed

1:18 am

grannyrose

so how are you coping? are you able to rest a little more honey?

1:19 am

sprite

things are still too crazy. And Rob and I had another fight about the house design and now he is moping. So that does not help much either. But all in all I am good. Peace in my heart, which is a very good base for everything else ;)

1:22 am

grannyrose

awww my heart goes out to both of you. deciding what your future home is to be like is hard work.

1:23 am

grannyrose

write to me and tell all.

1:24 am

sprite

Rob does not realise or see how much HE decides everything, and how he throws aside my wishes at every turn. It is not that he does not care, it is that he does not realise he is doing it. So that is a hard bargain. Noud told me to be very clear to Rob that this behaviour is damaging me. So I did, and now he is moping because I should know that he does not want to damage me. I told him, of COURSE I know that. Doesn't mean you don't, so we have to talk it out and solve it.

1:24 am

sprite

will do, soon, I am a bit stretched for time atm. I wrote back to you yesterday though, about what you told me.

1:26 am

grannyrose

thanx honey i have read it. and will reread it and allow it to filter through.

1:26 am

sprite

let me know if you want me to be frank about the afterthought as well

1:27 am

grannyrose

oh yes.please do so.

1:27 am

sprite

okay, right away

1:32 am

8:30 am

i always thought it was spelled with two "o"s.

8:31 am

Haz1558

You have found the tr7/36, there are two ways to spell how that word sounds.

8:31 am

mkg

got it haz.

8:31 am

BzznBea

Spelled with the U is is someone in a dance or acting croup.

8:32 am

BzznBea

group

8:32 am

BzznBea

I can not type today.

8:34 am

Scrabbler

Haha. I frequently diagnose young kids with croup.

8:35 am

Haz1558

But do you still call it croup? Or does it have a fancier modern name?

8:37 am

Scrabbler

Medical name = acute viral laryngo-tracheo-bronchitis. Sore throat, hoarse voice, noisy inspiration, and barky cough.

8:37 am

Haz1558

Croup for short.

8:38 am

Scrabbler

Older kids and adults have wider airways so we don't get the noisy breathing and barky cough.

8:38 am

Haz1558

Do you see much quinsy any more? It used to feature in old fashioned books.

8:39 am

Scrabbler

We call it peritonsillitis and I see a few kids every year with this.

8:39 am

LuvWordGames

hello Scrabs. I have a question for you if you don't mind. If I remember correctly you have said you see colors when you listen to music. I have friend who says she sees colors when she is in pain. Have you ever heard of that before?

8:40 am

Haz1558

I presume a course of antibiotics sorts them out.

8:40 am

Scrabbler

LWG, how cool. Synesthesia = the connection between 2 senses. I see shapes when I listen to music. I just emailed a synesthesia expert a few days ago.

8:41 am

Scrabbler

Haz, if there is an abscess then an ENT MD pokes a needle in there and sucks out 5-15 ml of pus.

8:41 am

LuvWordGames

Oh that's what it's called. Thanks for the information. I will pass it on to my friend. She's also in the medical field.

8:41 am

Scrabbler

And Haz and I have ticker tape synesthesia.

8:42 am

bichon

tr 7, pls

8:42 am

8:42 am

Scrabbler

http://www.daysyn.com/

8:43 am

LuvWordGames

what is ticker tape synsthesia?

8:43 am

BzznBea

There are two tr7's bichon

8:43 am

Haz1558

It's when you 'see' words spelt out when you or other people are speaking. It's like having a transcript running in your head all the time.

8:44 am

Scrabbler

I see words scroll in front of me, in my mind, as I hear them, even me talking to myself. I cannot NOT do this. So if I hear more than one person my brain is unhappy.

8:44 am

72 Temple Owl

is the tr7/36 a variant of the 7/32?

8:44 am

Haz1558

Ditto, my inner transcriber gets mixed up. Crowds are awful.

8:44 am

BzznBea

One is tr7/36 and sounds like a highway patrolman

8:45 am

LuvWordGames

That would be very distracting. I have a difficult enough time tuning out background noise and multiple conversations without having the visuals to contend with as well

8:45 am

Scrabbler

That is a good description, Haz, an inner transcriber.

8:45 am

BzznBea

The tr7/32 is way up high

8:45 am

LuvWordGames

Thanks for the link. I'll read it and pass it on to my friend too

8:45 am

Scrabbler

When I watch TV or movies I must use the closed caption for optimal viewing.

8:46 am

Haz1558

That's how I discovered it was unusual. I talked about my inner transcriber to my sister and she looked at me as if I had gone mad.

8:46 am

bichon

ty Bea

8:46 am

BzznBea

yw

8:46 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I mentioned my scrolling ticker tape to a friend and she was puzzled.

8:47 am

72 Temple Owl

i'll list for clues. happy babbling

8:47 am

LuvWordGames

I know what you mean Haz, I have little quirks I've lived with my whole live and I thought were "normal" until realizing other people don't have them

8:47 am

Scrabbler

I also see timelines and calendars in my mind, so I have a storage of dates.

8:47 am

Haz1558

I just assumed it was entirely normal. It seems not.

8:48 am

bichon

I have OCD. So ddid my mom

8:48 am

bichon

Scrabs, I see calendars in my mind

8:49 am

LuvWordGames

how does your OCD manifest if you don't me asking, bich?

8:49 am

Scrabbler

Cool.

8:52 am

bichon

I have to say the same word over and over. For example. Since I've been taking it's much better

8:52 am

bichon

*Prozac

8:53 am

LuvWordGames

glad to hear it's improved. I'm dealing with some issues myself and told I could be OCD

9:04 am

Haz1558

I am off now to carry on with Christmas decorations. Enjoy the grid!

9:05 am

where are all these 4 letter words we've never had before coming from? - has some exceedingly bad speller been adding words to enable?

The creators of the Enable word list are the most freakish word nerds ever.

four hours east of me. I'll be in Yellowstone next week but not Old Faithful. This time of year you need to arrange a snow coach to get there

9:21 pm

moolingwa

be nice and cold there next week I imagine

9:21 pm

moolingwa

although not much different from where you're at

9:21 pm

harpjane

I'm afraid to check....

9:22 pm

moolingwa

couple years back I considered going up there around this time of year...but the temperatures were not favorable

9:22 pm

harpjane

We're pretty calm here in Hamilton but had a blizzard 20 miles north today on our way to Missoula

9:22 pm

hi all!

9:22 pm

moolingwa

I like missoula

9:22 pm

is the tr 7 related to the 6?

9:22 pm

moolingwa

yeah

9:22 pm

moolingwa

well one of the tr 6s

9:23 pm

moolingwa

the other tr 6 is not related other that they're all from other languages

9:23 pm

nrkii

speaking of cookie baking, am just recovering from baking about 50 dozen cookies in past 2 days... still more to go, but lion's share done!

9:23 pm

moolingwa

holy macaroons

9:24 pm

moolingwa

I haven't baked 50 cookies in my life, let alone 50 dozen

9:26 pm

nrkii

to make it more fun, I have a 100-year-old oven that can only handle 2 trays at a time, and the cookies I make can only be baked 12-to-a-tray. And it cooks unevenly, so I have to spin every tray 2/3 of the way through. It's a comical production!

9:26 pm

moolingwa

why make it easy, that would ruin the fun

9:33 pm

nrkii

Exactly!

10:04 pm

jane, heaps of dried fruit including candied peel for a touch of zing. brandy, brown sugar and natural butter. mixed spice plus nutmeg and cinnamin. it's a very old recipe and i think it's time for DH to scan it and put it into the computer for safe keeping. the book is nearly falling apart.
