4:39 am

OK, looking!

4:41 am

mattygroves

Aaah - less its first vowel - thank you!

4:41 am

lynxxx

oops - cons = vowels (I am tired)

4:42 am

mattygroves

I know the feeling! x

dinner - BBL

4:46 am

Soodle

Matty. Many congratulations on the birth of your beautiful granddaughter. How is she doing?

4:46 am

mattygroves

Thank you! Sooo much better. It was all dramatic and traumatic but she's really getting better every day. She's beautiful!

4:47 am

Soodle

Did she arrive early, or suddenly?

4:48 am

mattygroves

Suddenly - emergency c-section at 37 weeks due to a fetomaternal hemorrhage. Transfusions, resuscitation - the whole nine yards

4:50 am

Soodle

Oh my. How worrying. Were you being given a blow-by-blow account, or were you told after all the commotion?

4:50 am

tceicher

sw

4:51 am

mattygroves

Bit of both. Sarah messaged me first thing Sunday morning when she saw I was awake and online, so I missed the actual birth (and would have done so anyway, given the emergency nature of it) and Sarah was pretty ... high (from morphine) when I first spoke with her. But we've been speaking almost every day since so am now getting fairly blow by blow updates

4:53 am

Soodle

Damn you coronavirus!!! But hopefully you will get to see her very soon

4:53 am

Soodle

~both of them ~

4:54 am

mattygroves

I hope so! I miss them terribly

4:55 am

lbdawger

congratulations Matty!! and blessings to mom and babe

4:55 am

mattygroves

Thank you x

5:09 am

lynxxx

How lovely - congrats Matty!

5:10 am

lynxxx

Where does your daughter live?

5:12 am

mattygroves

Melbourne suburbs

5:12 am

lynxxx

can you get closer?

5:13 am

mattygroves

Nah. There are no flights ;) Kingsville

5:15 am

lynxxx

Ah - on the other side of Melbourne to me. I used to work over that way. You must be relived that we are doing OK with the Coronavirus over here

5:15 am

lynxxx

relieved too!

5:16 am

mattygroves

So very!! One fewer thing to worry about. It's just hard being so far away

5:17 am

mattygroves

Tilly is in the Royal Women's Hospital

5:18 am

lynxxx

She is still there? Your daughter is home? and trekking in each day. Royal Womens has a very good reputation

5:19 am

mattygroves

Sarah went home (from a different hospital!) yesterday. Tilly is doing very well and has no interventions - the feeding tube even came out today. She has an MRI on Tuesday - we hope, all being well, she can go home next week

5:21 am

lynxxx

Gosh - sounds very worrying for you all but I am sure it's all pretty routine for the Hospital. Happy that Sarah is pretty close to the Royal Womens

5:21 am

mattygroves

Yeah, she said about 20 minutes' drive. So far (and everything crossed), Tilly's doing really well

5:23 am

lynxxx

Tell Sarah to enjoy a few nights sleep before Tilly gets home

5:24 am

Uneaixoise

Congrats, Matty! Glad mom and wee one are doing well.....whew!

5:24 am

mattygroves

Hah - Sarah's waking up every three hours to pump!

Salut, ata!!

5:27 am

Atalante

how are we all today?

5:28 am

lynxxx

cold

5:28 am

mattygroves

Any clues needed before I go?

5:28 am

Atalante

its sooo cold here today

5:29 am

lynxxx

not for me thanks Matty

5:30 am

Scrabbler

Hello. It's cold here too.

5:30 am

mattygroves

OK - have fun ladies and gents. Byeeeee

5:31 am

Atalante

I'm trying to wrm my hands enough to type properly. hurray for hot cups of tea

5:32 am

lynxxx

Hi Scrabs. How are you and your work colleges? You were worried about a couple of them.

5:32 am

Scrabbler

I am sipping tea as well.

5:32 am

Atalante

very important :) are you working today?

5:32 am

lynxxx

I'm onto the chardonnay - warming me on the inside

5:32 am

Atalante

equally important!

5:33 am

Scrabbler

My colleagues tested negative for Coronavirus but we suspect the one guy had a false negative test. Someday we will all get antibody tests. We remain vigilant and anxious. This virus is vicious throughout the body.

5:33 am

lynxxx

colleagues - that looks better spelling

5:34 am

Scrabbler

I knew what you meant, lynxxx. :-)

5:35 am

lynxxx

did you get some more PPE?

5:35 am

Atalante

hmmm apparently Silverclaw wants to play babble today as well

5:35 am

Scrabbler

I am working 9-12 and this is my on call weekend. The most recent flurry of phone calls from parents has been about COVID toes--sores on top of multiple toes. This is a mysterious dermatologic manifestation of the virus.

5:35 am

lynxxx

she can probably spell better than me

5:35 am

Scrabbler

We have enough masks and cleaning supplies.

5:36 am

lynxxx

Not heard about the toe thing - but then again we haven't got so many cases here

5:36 am

Atalante

toe sores?! how strange

5:38 am

Scrabbler

Google "COVID toes." Fascinating. Probably a microvascular issue.

5:40 am

Atalante

huh how interesting!

5:41 am

Scrabbler

So parents are calling us about this for their kids who have no other symptoms.

5:42 am

Atalante

the range of symptoms are so incredibly varied, it must be so easy for parents to worry

5:43 am

Scrabbler

Maternal anxiety is the backbone of pediatrics.

5:43 am

Atalante

how much of your work is more psychology based without parental anxieties?

5:45 am

Scrabbler

Mental health issues in children dominate our work now. Anxiety, depression, behavior problems.

5:45 am

Atalante

thats so sad

5:47 am

Atalante

I don't know the US system - but do all your patients need their parents permission / have their parent(s) there for consultation?

5:48 am

lynxxx

I was just googling how bad Coronavirus was in Scotland - very funny article including..." Oh, and if the schools do reopen, they will be socially distanced and all kids will have to be kept apart, instead of just the feral ones". Who said scottish humour was dry?

5:49 am

Scrabbler

At age 12 we encourage parents to leave the exam room so that private and confidential issues can be addressed. And we must honor confidentiality unless a kid mentions suicide or homicide.

5:49 am

M3

they used the word feral? crikey lol

5:50 am

Atalante

its awful in scotland, the country has run out of Buckfast (dirt cheap alcohol of choice)

5:50 am

Scrabbler

Haha, lynxxx. We do use the word feral in our office (staff and doctors) because we truly see so many feral kids.

5:50 am

lynxxx

I don't think it was anyone official - I hope not anyway!

5:51 am

Atalante

it must be a relief for some of them to have that line of communication outwith their parents

5:51 am

Atalante

wouldn't surprise me if it was someone official, knowing scotland!

5:51 am

Scrabbler

Atalante, some parents REFUSE to leave the exam room and honor their child's privacy.

5:52 am

Atalante

thats what I was wondering - my mum used to do that!

5:53 am

lynxxx

I'm off - see you all later

5:53 am

Atalante

bye my dear!

5:57 am

M3

All the children we work with have Trauma, all are a direct result of parenting or the lack of. Feral is a great word, i might introudce it in the staff room :)

5:59 am

Scrabbler

M3, yes, lack of parenting, either neglectful and nonassertive parenting, is prevalent here.

6:00 am

M3

Its the school i work at we have those that can on manage main stream. However all parents feel its the duty of the school to inistill dicipline and morals ! our little Primay school now has an Isolation room !!!

6:04 am

Atalante

Hhhhhmmm I dont like these Hs

6:05 am

Scrabbler

Yes, M3, parents have relinquished their roles as parents and expect teachers to do it all. Schools are overwhelmed with disciplinary issues all day.

6:13 am

Atalante

is that because theyve not got enough help in how to parent? or am I being too naive

6:16 am

Scrabbler

Modern parents are wimpy and nonassertive. Child-centered homes create feral kids. KIds need discipline to become proper adults.

6:17 am

Scrabbler

And now I must get ready for work. Tata.

6:18 am

Atalante

have a good day!

6:18 am

Haz1558

ho

6:18 am

Atalante

Haz! How splendid :)

6:19 am

Haz1558

Sorry! A slip of the fingers when working in Expert.

6:19 am

Atalante

its definitely not christmas yet

6:19 am

Haz1558

Anyway, nice to see you. I have to report that we did tackle the cocker spaniel grooming problem.

6:20 am

Atalante

and??

6:20 am

Haz1558

The clippers weren't quite professional standard, but we managed. Over three days we got enough hair out of that dog to stuff a cushion.

6:20 am

Haz1558

It's not perfect but he is much cooler and nobody has laughed at him when out walking.

6:21 am

Atalante

its bonkers how much fur they've got

6:21 am

Atalante

no wonder they are little internal combustion engines

6:21 am

Atalante

well then, job well done :)

6:21 am

Haz1558

We will not be taking this up as a thing. It was all a bit of an ordeal, although he was very patient. Patient but puzzled.

6:22 am

Haz1558

Seriously, I couldn't believe his paws. It's so thick. But he's nice and sleek and appears to have lost huge amounts of weight.

6:22 am

Atalante

you do sometimes realise that dog groomers earn every penny you give them!

6:23 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. They are amazing.

6:24 am

Atalante

Loki has an ear infection for the millionth time so he's feeling very sorry for himself that I won't let him submerge his entire head in the sea multiple times a day

6:24 am

Haz1558

Oh, poor Loki. Lots of head shaking and floppy ear?

6:25 am

Atalante

oh yes, especially at 2am

6:25 am

Haz1558

But you don't ring the vet. Others might.

6:26 am

Atalante

I admit I did eventually, this morning, because Loki just shrieked when I looked in his ear. BUt I explained and they looked at his records and just got some ear drops for him without any consultation or anything

6:27 am

Haz1558

Yes, if he has a history they can prescribe. Apparently they are trying to keep people out of the surgery as much as possible, farmers are buying stuff through the window.

6:28 am

Atalante

yep! his ear drops got dropped into a bucket from the surgery window :)

6:28 am

Haz1558

It's all a bit Heath Robinson.

6:29 am

Atalante

I certainly didn't want to take up their time, I felt really bad even just phoning them for ear aches

6:29 am

Atalante

You missed the sa4 earlier this year of Loki being a medical wonder

6:29 am

Haz1558

Oh, they'll not mind that. It's the stupid stuff at 3 o'clock that's annoying.

6:30 am

Haz1558

How so? A cure for some dread disease?

6:32 am

Atalante

he had a v quickly growing lump right by the lymph nodes in his neck, it got to golf ball size in a few weeks. So they took it out and the vet who operated (who adores Loki and has known him since he was a pup) nearly gave up because the lump was all attached to everything and had a good blood supply of its own. Anyway she spent 2 hours of her own time getting it done and Loki sewn up (he looked like Frankenstein's pup) and both the vet and I were 90% certain the lab results were going to come back with something seriously wrong and life limiting

6:33 am

Haz1558

But...

6:33 am

Atalante

so the results came back and they couldn't find any sign of cancer, any sign of anything. they suggested it might have been a reaction to a thorn or something, but there was no thorn in the lump.

6:33 am

Haz1558

Curiouser and curiouser.

6:33 am

Atalante

absolutely

6:34 am

Haz1558

And a total recovery?

6:34 am

Atalante

so either the test results were really wonky, in which case we'll soon see I'd guess. or he's just a weirdass dog that had something noone can work out

6:34 am

Atalante

absolutely fine so far!

6:35 am

Haz1558

I'd go for the special dog with an exclusive condition.

6:35 am

Haz1558

When was this?

6:36 am

Atalante

thats what we're going for too. Katrin just said to keep a really close eye on him for any new lumps. This was February

6:37 am

weegee

Hi all! I'm smiling at all the love & concern for the wee doggo. What we animal lovers do, eh? I have a 16 yr old Maine Coon who's been toothless for about 4 years (he was a feral kitten). He consumes 6-8 jars of baby food every day...at $1.00 per jar... Love the old boy.

6:37 am

Haz1558

Okay, so not that long ago. As you say, just keep an eye on him and hope that it was something unusual but non-recurring.

6:38 am

Atalante

yep! I know that if there's a thorn or grass seed somewhere it may re-lump. and if it does, they are going to whip the lump out asap before letting it grow!

6:38 am

Atalante

awwww nothing like a beloved old cat :D

6:38 am

Haz1558

weegee, my 'life' was animals for a long time, husband just retired from being a vet in January last year. I used to answer the emergency phone so know all about pet lovers.

6:39 am

Haz1558

You've obviously been well trained by your cat, weegee, no cheap rubbishy food there!

6:39 am

Atalante

is Mr Haz loving being retired? I can imagine that wanting to help every animal you see doesn't really go away

6:40 am

weegee

Haz, sounds like a wonderful life full of love but heartbreak too, sometimes, yes?

6:40 am

Haz1558

He's really enjoying it, he was absolutely ready to retire because he was just at the point of hating work every day.

6:41 am

Atalante

oh good :D

6:41 am

Haz1558

weegee, lots of heartbreak but laughter as well. He specialised in farm animals and you need to be physically strong - his knees were starting to give him bother.

6:41 am

Atalante

that he's enjoying it not that he hated work!

6:42 am

Haz1558

He just admitted one day that he couldn't face another spring so we started making arrangements for retirement.

6:42 am

weegee

Ah, perfectly understandable.

6:43 am

Haz1558

Our life revolved around the rota, whether we were on call at night. That' pressure has gone now, problem now is we have nowhere to go until lockdown stops, but that will happen eventually.

6:43 am

Atalante

firebirds :)

6:44 am

Haz1558

Well done!

6:45 am

Atalante

some sneaky words in there

6:46 am

LisaG

I am seeing!

6:46 am

Haz1558

Yes, some from the less commonly used drawer.

6:46 am

weegee

yes, I'm struggling with the T's

6:47 am

Atalante

have you got the ones that really need some more vowels to be proper words?

6:47 am

LisaG

i have 7 of the 10 for T

6:48 am

weegee

5 of 10 here. Even tried "toyrag" Cleaning cloth for toys? :)

6:48 am

Haz1558

The t words are tricky.

6:48 am

LisaG

one tw is a type of jacket that professors wear

6:48 am

LisaG

a second one, take the last letter off

6:49 am

weegee

they're in my 5

6:49 am

Haz1558

Funnily enough, toyrag isn't even approaching the oddness of two of the t 6 words. More imagination needed...

6:49 am

LisaG

one ryhmes with the toy that is on a string

6:49 am

LisaG

plus a plural

6:50 am

Atalante

yep, toyrag has way too many vowels in

6:50 am

Haz1558

Throw caution to the winds and go for experimental typing.

6:50 am

weegee

Also, Greek Helen of tr/4

6:50 am

Atalante

an ear bit as well

6:51 am

Atalante

and 2 words that are babblets that not even the dictionary can define

6:52 am

LisaG

well i htink i am missing an ear bit... I have no idea what that is lol

6:55 am

Atalante

actually its plural of an ear bit

6:56 am

Haz1558

And a latin plural. THose Romans were tricksy.

6:56 am

Atalante

aye they were

6:56 am

Haz1558

It looks like the start of a play that's not a comedy.

6:57 am

LisaG

troyol

6:57 am

Atalante

ears are generally not comedic

6:57 am

weegee

oh, well, THAT clears it up :) (not really)

6:57 am

Haz1558

Especially cocker spaniels with infections in theirs.

6:58 am

Haz1558

tr5/14 - missing a c on the end that would make it descriptive of something very sad.

6:58 am

Atalante

or if you had a problem with your stomach / intestines. that would be sad too

6:59 am

LisaG

I think I am only missing the 6s for the Ts now

7:00 am

weegee

thanks, got it!

7:00 am

Haz1558

Prepare yourself for a surprise with those two.

7:00 am

LisaG

ha ha, i will :)

7:00 am

Haz1558

th6/27. Old fashioned term for you, followed by a flower minus a vowel.

7:01 am

Haz1558

The second one has a different vowel on the end of the word.

7:01 am

Atalante

you mean a compact branching inflorescence, as of the lilac, in which the main axis is indeterminate and the lateral axes are determinate isn't a well known description?

7:01 am

Haz1558

Exactly, Ata, you read my mind.

7:02 am

LisaG

got the flower

7:02 am

Haz1558

It's maybe better to say old fashioned term for your, rather than you. Or use Ata's clue, it's much clearer.

7:02 am

LisaG

great clue :)

7:02 am

Atalante

botanists are just gluttons for word punishment

7:03 am

Haz1558

Excellent. We have a satisfied customer, Ata.

7:03 am

LisaG

I have 40 left, and am going to go get ready fro the day. Trying to get to the store for a few items before it gets too busy. Have a great morning!

7:03 am

Atalante

always important. just wait till mlf comes on and needs clues ....

7:03 am

Haz1558

You too, Lisa.

7:05 am

Haz1558

And Mr Haz and the spruced up canine have arrived home for their walk so I'd better go and rustle up some lunch. Good to see you, Ata. Hope Loki gets better soon.

7:05 am

Atalante

lovely to see you too and hear about the canine and Mr Haz!

7:05 am

Haz1558

See you again!

7:06 am

weegee

Have a lovely day

7:12 am

72 Temple Owl

hello

7:14 am

weegee

greetings!

7:14 am

72 Temple Owl

hi weege

7:15 am

Atalante

hello!

7:15 am

72 Temple Owl

hi ata

7:15 am

72 Temple Owl

i got those th words straight off, seeing the clues.

7:15 am

72 Temple Owl

though i must admist, yours was the better clue! ;D

7:16 am

weegee

TO, how's PA coping with state liquor stores closed? (totally off topic)

7:17 am

72 Temple Owl

not well. they've opened moreo fthem - you have to phone in an order for piickup, and folks say they cannot get through.

7:18 am

72 Temple Owl

but beer distributors are open, and many groceries now sell beer and wine.

7:18 am

weegee

Ah. I bought a 5 litre box of wine last week and had to stand in a looooong spaced line. Liquor stores here in KY are raking it in, like Amazon... sigh...

7:19 am

72 Temple Owl

funny, i rarely have any alochol in the house but state stores had a sale justbefore this came down. i accompanied a friend and ended up buying some liquer.

7:20 am

72 Temple Owl

omg i cannot IMAGINE if it was all in the state stores still. positively uncivilized.

7:21 am

weegee

Not to mention disaster for alcoholics. Our governor mentioned that medical consequence when asked why liquor stores are still open. I hadn't thought of that.

7:22 am

72 Temple Owl

nor had i, but it's been discussed here.

7:22 am

72 Temple Owl

i have to go, my hair is drying. i need ot style it. i try to keep up though no one will see me, except when i walk later and hang the laundry.

7:23 am

72 Temple Owl

ata, is loki ill?

7:23 am

weegee

Good on you. I've given up - avoiding the mirror (AND the scales!)

7:24 am

72 Temple Owl

oh please. i am thinking of trimming my bangs. they are cumbersome when i wear a mask.

7:25 am

72 Temple Owl

facetime really brings it all home. peole are all" what's that dark circle around your left eye", etc. it's disheartening.

7:26 am

weegee

I refuse to facetime!

7:26 am

Atalante

he's got an ear infection :(

7:27 am

72 Temple Owl

my iphone has a blown speaker. i thinnk i did it in whilst disinfescting it.

7:27 am

Atalante

but I was telling Haz about a few months ago when we all thought he was very ill - but he wasn't :)

7:27 am

72 Temple Owl

aww, poor loki!

7:27 am

MollyL

Liquor stores on the border of Pennsylvania and Maryland are making a fortune from the Pennsylvania people driving over to get liquor.

7:27 am

72 Temple Owl

oh my.

7:27 am

weegee

Later all. Time for a late breakfast.

7:28 am

72 Temple Owl

Delaware has taken to stopping PA plates and turning them around, if not on the interstate.

7:29 am

72 Temple Owl

gtg, hair is needing styling. later.

7:29 am

MollyL

People are resourceful. If they want liquor they will find a way to get it. Case in point, Prohibition.

7:38 am

periwinkle

some liquor stores in PA will reopen this Monday for curbside service

7:38 am

periwinkle

hi all

7:39 am

BzznBea

Morning, peri

7:39 am

MollyL

I'm sure when they re-open they will be doing a brisk business.

7:40 am

BzznBea

Hey, Molly, do you know anything about uploading flickr pics to babble profile?

7:42 am

MollyL

In the box below "BIO" there is a place to link your flickr information

7:43 am

BzznBea

Yes, I tried that, but it wouldn't let me load them from firefox.

7:43 am

BzznBea

I will have Mr. Bea look at it. Not sure I have IE on my computer.

7:44 am

MollyL

I see your flikr pictures in your profile. Beautiful quilts. You are really talented.

7:44 am

mkg, di8. not live + first and last letters of my name + abbreviation for not brother

8:31 pm

Minveryork

mkg has left the building. I just checked "Who's Online".

8:31 pm

grannyrose

min, rainy here. temperatures mild though. we took the easter treats for the grandies over to my son's last Friday. cntact-free and i was okay until son came outside to talk to us. i burst into tears. to be so near and notallowed to hug was very painful.

8:32 pm

grannyrose

lol...min.... i usually check. obviously didn't this time. i wish she would at least say good-bye. it's a little disconcerting, to say the least.

8:33 pm

Minveryork

I have been meeting with my family via zoom. It nice to have technology where we can still "see" our loved ones.

8:34 pm

Minveryork

See people here come & go without a wink all the time.I think people leave faster than they entered sometimes.

8:35 pm

grannyrose

i have been using FB video chat. as you say, at least to see them is so nice. my youngest son in his 30's is having a hard time of it. he is usually all over his brothers and i, with hugs etc.

8:37 pm

Minveryork

You cannot really go by "Who's Online" because some will appear be "online" without logging off, however they are really not here. I think a lot of babblers never sign out.

8:38 pm

Minveryork

I ALWAYS sign out of any website that I have to sign in to.

8:39 pm

grannyrose

i guess i had better say ttfn. it's laundry day, and we are having a roast lamb dinner tonight. will use slow cooker i think. maybe i'll see you at the flip, honey> xox

The New York weather God can't make up it mind either. Tomorrow and Monday it will be rainy and in the forties.

Hi melonheadjujube! How are U doing? Welcome to grid.

10:01 pm

I am well. I have the things I need and my kids are OK, tho I miss them.

10:02 pm

melonheadjujube

My daily routine includes a walk around my neighborhood near dusk. The weather has been balmiest at that time, and right now the robins sing their hearts out as they figure out on which brach of which tree they will spend the night. Then, they stop!

10:02 pm

melonheadjujube

Ohio has rainy 50s tomorrow. I'm overdue for a solo bike ride.

10:02 pm

melonheadjujube

The top row T has me flummoxed.

10:06 pm

Minveryork

My daily routine is to do school in the morning,go out for a walk with my dog in the afternoon,come home and fun in the evenings. Notice, no mentioning of cleaning apt.

10:06 pm

melonheadjujube

ah, nbt.

10:07 pm

Minveryork

Is that top row t one of the th6 words melonheadjujube?

10:07 pm

melonheadjujube

hah! It took me 7 weeks to clean something, and I sprained my ring finger in the process. I decluttered a room that had truly become a junk room. I like the space and lack of clutter, but I had to stay away from the piano and the bike while my finger healed up.

10:09 pm

melonheadjujube

It's weird having no alarm wake me, nobody really to answer to. I am eating well, and even losing a little weight. I shop every two weeks, and no, running out of Reddi-Wip is not a reason to go shopping. Running out of vegetables is. I'm eating two good meals a day, one around noon and one in the evening. Lots of veggies and legumes.

10:09 pm

melonheadjujube

I am going to hit the hay now. I want to get up early and dive into the Sunday papers. Ciao. Nice chatting.
