The dr wants to put her on a biologic. She has refused but it may be time to reconsider.

6:52 am

Scrabbler

Biologic meds have transformed medical care for so many disorders.

6:53 am

She has an exacerbation about every two months. That is too often. Maybe this med will help.

11:36 am

periwinkle

11:37 am

11:45 am

zoozzoom

wow sorry for the typos.

11:46 am

cybernan

not a word commonly used here for that, zoom

11:46 am

zoozzoom

Okay. Keep it in mind for next time lol

11:47 am

periwinkle

175 left and stuck

11:47 am

cybernan

*and yet it is common with the sub prefix attached

11:47 am

hokie carla

hi! I've seen it like he has a room in his house he lets out but not that way.

11:47 am

cybernan

what a strange language we have

11:50 am

zoozzoom

When we were children we would see signs outside some houses on a big board saying to let. We being children would be silly and use a marker pen and put an i inbetween so it read toilet. Things we did when we were young.

11:51 am

hokie carla

I do think it's a little obsolete here for that usage

11:53 am

zoozzoom

What a board being put up outside a house or the word to let?

11:54 am

hokie carla

the usage of to let as to rent

11:54 am

zoozzoom

As I see. It is still very common here.

11:54 am

zoozzoom

Ah*

11:56 am

hokie carla

but I think the confusion was also the way you worded it, more as like it was a rent payment. have never heard a let payment, but maybe that is normal there. as nan said, english is weird. (or something)

11:57 am

zoozzoom

No it is probably the way I worded it.

12:00 pm

zoozzoom

I sometimes hope that when trying to clue that people would look at the grid and realise what I am getting at without spelling the word out. I am not very good at giving clues.

12:00 pm

origami

All clues are welcome here zooz ðŸ˜€

12:01 pm

hokie carla

no, that's okay. I have the same issue. and wasn't trying to pile on, just trying to help clarify.

12:01 pm

zoozzoom

Thank you, Origami â¤ï¸

12:01 pm

zoozzoom

No worries, Carla.

12:04 pm

Chryst4l

i like how the communication here is a lot nice and more understanding to what im used to in real life

12:05 pm

hokie carla

most of the time!

12:07 pm

zoozzoom

I can relate to that, Chryst41. There are some foul mouthed people out there.

12:07 pm

zoozzoom

It has spilled over into babble chat at times as, Carla has alluded to.

12:08 pm

Chryst4l

Indeed, i sometimes wonder why people choose not to at least try to communicate properly

12:08 pm

Chryst4l

well thats expected, but its good if it doesnt last permanently

12:11 pm

zoozzoom

I know I can convey my thoughts here and it is taken with respect. The only one I had a bit if a gripe with no matter how many times I tried to be polite and got snarky back was a babbler Called Brabblerabble or BR as the person was also known. No longer here though.

12:12 pm

hokie carla

it's really hard to read tone and intentions on this platform

12:13 pm

Chryst4l

It hard to read tone and intentions on any platforms to be honest

12:13 pm

Chryst4l

or at least most

12:13 pm

hokie carla

yes

12:16 pm

zoozzoom

That is true.

12:16 pm

Chryst4l

everything i say is true

12:16 pm

zoozzoom

May I say, Chryst, I like the reason how you found babble!

12:16 pm

Chryst4l

you see without any indications its very easy to misunderstand

12:17 pm

Chryst4l

it is a pretty interesting situation

12:17 pm

zoozzoom

Oh I am mostly misunderstood haha!

12:28 pm

cybernan

does anyone have a clue for that uh please?

12:30 pm

zoozzoom

uh auld ***g syne.

12:30 pm

hokie carla

12:33 pm

12:33 pm

I hope the next 150 words aren't all going to be like this!

12:33 pm

hokie carla

12:34 pm

zoozzoom

You had better strap in, Nan! There are some weird words in here.

12:35 pm

hokie carla

12:36 pm

12:38 pm

12:39 pm

12:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

1:02 pm

hurshy

1:02 pm

hokie carla

he 7- plural car rental companies

1:03 pm

hurshy

hoike! good grief. oh my ea4 and whiskers, i'm _____, he would say, looking at his watch

1:03 pm

aebmusica

tyvm hokie carla never heard of that word being pluralized

1:04 pm

hokie carla

I haven't read books like you! I was more into Trixie Belden and Sweet Valley high.

1:04 pm

hurshy

i read those too. but, haven't you seen movie versions?

1:05 pm

hokie carla

not that I can recall. but will try to do some googling. heading over mountains right now, so I'm surprised I'm even getting this to work.

1:05 pm

hurshy

did you also like BabySitters Club?

1:05 pm

hokie carla

that was a little after my age group

1:06 pm

hokie carla

that was a little after my age group

1:06 pm

hurshy

too bad, those were quite good

1:07 pm

hokie carla

trying to think what else I used to read, boy my memory is getting bad. VC Andrews.

1:08 pm

hurshy

nancy drew, hardy boys

1:08 pm

hokie carla

yep, read those

1:09 pm

hurshy

my friend lost to me in the sixth grade spelling bee when she misspelled amateur. we both read nancy drew, so i was like, how did you get that wrong, that word is in EVERY nancy drew book!

1:10 pm

hokie carla

haha. I wondered how the spelling bee guy could not include titian. had he never read nancy drew??

1:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

the artist?

1:11 pm

hokie carla

what does that mean?

1:11 pm

hurshy

indirectly, the artist. because he liked to paint red-headed women, red hair has come to be called "titian" color, and thus became a common adjective

1:11 pm

hokie carla

I just know every book described nancy drew as titian-haired.

1:12 pm

hurshy

was also sometimes used to describe Anne of GG

1:13 pm

hokie carla

just looked up the et8. now that kind of jarred my memory about the rabbit.

1:13 pm

hurshy

phew

1:15 pm

hokie carla

just looked up titian. I had never even heard of the painter.

1:17 pm

rururocks

i think the 10 is going to be my last word today

1:18 pm

hokie carla

I got it earlier thanks to a clue

1:19 pm

hokie carla

I was guessing that rainiqui called it and I was right

1:19 pm

cybernan

hi again -- had gas mechanic here to check fireplace

1:20 pm

hokie carla

and?? does it work?

1:20 pm

cybernan

Interesting the different ways people clue things -- took me a minute to figure out the white rabbit clue

1:21 pm

cybernan

*and I already had the word :)

1:21 pm

cybernan

it was leaking gas last night, so had to shut it off. working fine now

1:21 pm

hokie carla

well that makes me feel better about not getting it

1:22 pm

cybernan

carla - would you post your apple cake recipe in your profile? or send it to cybernan@gmail.com?

1:22 pm

hokie carla

that was TO

1:23 pm

cybernan

but you got the rabbit clue now, right?

1:23 pm

cybernan

ok, sorry - TO?

1:23 pm

hokie carla

I made a chocolate ganache/caramel to4 and a couple of batches of fudge.

1:24 pm

one was vanilla M&M fudge (I believe you all call them smarties?) and one was vanilla cranberry orange fudge.

1:24 pm

cybernan

haven't made fudge for years

1:25 pm

hurshy

there's a fudge recipe that's quite simple, on the back of marshmallow bags, that uses marshmallows (obvs)

1:26 pm

hokie carla

I usually make chocolate fudge, but my youngest loves the M&M one and my mom likes the cranberry orange one, so I just made those. Can do chocolate at Xmas.

1:26 pm

hokie carla

when I make chocolate fudge I use the fantasy fudge recipe that used to be on the back of the marshmallow creme jar, hurshy.

1:27 pm

1:28 pm

hokie carla

I believe hurshy said there was, but I don't have it, mab

1:28 pm

hokie carla

1:29 pm

It wasn't his dorm that got flooded was it?

hokie carla

he didn't mention it if it did. when was that?

1:36 pm

hokie carla

he is on the 2nd floor at least

1:36 pm

BzznBea

Some time this week. A water pipe break in one o the dorms. Didn't really pay attention beyond that.

1:37 pm

hokie carla

he did say there was a fire alarm recently and when he got out there the police and fire were already there and he thought that was odd.

1:47 pm

BzznBea

Could have just been a drill.

hi nan...

1:57 pm

cybernan

don't understand why realtor isn't a word -- is someone who sells properties for a living called something else in the states?

1:57 pm

penquis

i was hoping i would see more when I came back, but that doesn't appear to be the case...:o|

1:57 pm

penquis

i guess realtor is a trademark....

1:57 pm

LuvWordGames

I think it's been mentioned that for some reason it's a proper noun??

1:58 pm

BzznBea

It is a trademark

1:58 pm

cybernan

that shouldn't make a difference -- lots of words we have are also proper nouns

1:58 pm

BzznBea

Change that last vowel though

1:58 pm

3:13 pm

penquis

3:24 pm

hurshy

went away, came back, saw it right away
