hello all

6:36 am

ItalianGreyhound

Good morning!

6:53 am

welki

good morning, aslindy and IG

6:53 am

aslindy

hi welki

6:56 am

dan2bit

i like a grid with no 0/0 tiles

7:12 am

BzznBea

Good morning, friends.

7:12 am

welki

hi, bea - good thanksgiving?

7:13 am

BzznBea

It was a good day. Thanks, welki. My hands are a wreck from being in dishwater all day, but it was worth it.

7:14 am

BzznBea

How is your family?

7:16 am

welki

they're doing well, thanks - kids are cast-free and bones are healing. the older one has an appointment pending in boston with a pediatric orthopedist to make sure things are the way they're supposed to be. she was a bit short on vitamin d. the younger one is still a little afraid to bend her elbow, but that's to be expected - they'll check range of motion at next appointment and decide if she needs physiotherapy

7:18 am

BzznBea

I'm sure they are happy to be out of casts. Glad they are better.

7:19 am

welki

how's your mother feeling?

7:19 am

BzznBea

I've got our grandson's here for the weekend. Doesn't happen as much as we would like.

7:20 am

welki

ahh, the teenagers - lots of energy in the house (except in the morning)

7:21 am

BzznBea

Mom is doing okay. I'm worried because she still has a terrible cough. But she says she feels better, She always feels better when she is taking pred.

7:22 am

welki

does she have COPD?

7:22 am

BzznBea

Yes.

7:22 am

welki

ugh - that cough :(

7:24 am

BzznBea

We will see how she does over the weekend. May call the dr on Monday. Not sure they can offer any other treatment.

7:24 am

BzznBea

They have strongly suggested a biologic.

7:24 am

BzznBea

She has refused, but I think it is time to reconsider.

7:27 am

welki

why is she hesitant?

7:29 am

BzznBea

She is afraid she will have a bad reaction. There are so many meds she is allergic to. But, we have tried to explain to her that it is a different kind of med.

7:30 am

welki

easy to understand, after all she's been through, but frustrating for you

7:31 am

BzznBea

It is about a three hour round trip drive to get the initial injections. That is also making her hesitant.

7:32 am

BzznBea

She can not continue to have exacerbations every two months.

7:33 am

welki

no, they likely take a heavy toll on her. i wish i had some good advice on how to convince her, but i'm sure you've used everything in your arsenal

7:38 am

BzznBea

My brother takes a biologic. I will have him talk to her.

7:58 am

bichon

What is a biolagic?

7:59 am

BzznBea

It is a manufactured in a living organism rather than created from chemical compounds.

7:59 am

bichon

8:00 am

BzznBea

Humera and Fasenra are ones you may have seen tv ads for.

8:38 am

rururocks

humera does have some bad side effects

8:38 am

rururocks

at least that's what they say in the ads

8:40 am

BzznBea

That is why you must have the first three injections in a medical facility. After you present no side effects, you can do it at home.

8:45 am

BzznBea

Ru, did you have a pleasant Thanksgiving?

8:46 am

rururocks

yes.. it was a long drive and a long day though. I'm kind of beat from all the driving

8:46 am

rururocks

how about you guys?

8:47 am

BzznBea

Driving is always arduous, for me any way.

8:48 am

rururocks

i do tons of driving every week. I'm used to it

9:00 am

BzznBea

We had a good day. Kids from Raleigh came down. They brought smoked brisket and turkey. Grandsons are staying the weekend.

9:01 am

hurshy

i had a nice time with my dad's side of the family. not everyone was there but we still had a good 60 people, lol. (my dad's one of nine in his family)

Scrabbler

I was getting charts ready before I go to work in 2 hours.

9:53 am

hurshy

how does one get a chart ready?

9:54 am

Scrabbler

Review the chart, choose the correct template for the visit, review if vaccines are needed. I like to be prepared.

9:55 am

periwinkle

9:55 am

hurshy

9:55 am

periwinkle

moving day is tomorrow and I am overwhelmed

9:56 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, Peri. Moving is so tough.

9:56 am

periwinkle

it is only downstairs but iit is a different entrance and lot of things are going to the basement.

9:58 am

periwinkle

the same amount of time and effort go into removing things from drawers, shelves and packing etc as it would be for a move across town

9:58 am

periwinkle

and I am not a happy camper at the moment

9:58 am

periwinkle

di8 pls

9:59 am

periwinkle

nm monkeyed it

10:25 am

Scrabbler

I passed halfway. Peri, I wish I could be there to help.

10:27 am

cybernan

good morning all - barely got started last night when I crashed

10:32 am

cybernan

hate moving -- we moved after 28 years in one house 3 years ago and I'm still not over it

10:34 am

cybernan

I think we should be able to strike all botany words from the dictionary

10:45 am

Trifioso

hello friends. Oh, I am so sad about Torgone....

10:46 am

cybernan

had he been sick for a long time?

10:46 am

Trifioso

If he was, I did not know. He never mentioned it

10:47 am

cybernan

ok - I was really surprised to hear that he had passed. He wasn't that old, was he?

10:47 am

Trifioso

no

10:48 am

Trifioso

yes, it took me by total surprise. I was gutted

11:03 am

rururocks

Does anyone know what happened to him? I knew he traveled a lot so I hope it wasn't Covid or something horrible like that.

11:06 am

cybernan

that thought had crossed my mind as well, ru

11:08 am

cybernan

people just don't seem to realize that covid has not gone away - it is still very dangerous. When I see all the large crowds gathering at various events (Macy's parade being one of them) I shudder.

11:09 am

rururocks

true.. and sporting events.. although they're requiring vaccination cards here. I liked him...he was a funny guy and seemed to be a really nice guy.

11:10 am

MollyL

Very sad to read about Torgone. He seemed like a fun guy.

11:11 am

cybernan

Just the thought of flying anywhere is frightening -- those planes are just an big incubator for disease

11:12 am

rururocks

I normally fly a lot for work, but haven't flown in two years now

11:12 am

rururocks

although I'm planning to come to BC in July of next year.

11:13 am

cybernan

Our son has to fly to Whitehorse next week for work -- really worries me as the north has one of the lowest percentages for vaccinations.

11:13 am

cybernan

to the island Ru?

11:14 am

rururocks

yes.. going to Tofino and Qualicum for vacation

11:15 am

cybernan

That area is supposed to be hit by another round of storms next week.

11:15 am

rururocks

i know.. it's been awful there.. the Malahat (sp?) is a disaster zone

11:16 am

cybernan

All this heavy rain following a summer of huge forest fires is a real disaster.

11:16 am

rururocks

I'll bet.. that's a recipe for all kinds of trouble

11:18 am

cybernan

The entire province is affected. Not here so much other than we only have one highway open to the coast right now and the stores are very low on supplies. Meat was limited to one item per customer yesterday and there is a possibility that the highway will be closed again if there is more flooding around Abbotsford next week -- no telling how well those temporary dikes will hold.

11:19 am

rururocks

yikes nan.. i hope things settle down for all of you

11:20 am

rururocks

I have to get on with my day.. no holiday for me today happy FRIDAY all

11:21 am

cybernan

The army has helicoptered all kinds of heavy equipment in -- they are working around the clock to try and rebuild dikes and highways, but it is a formiddable job. In some areas huge sections of the highway have washed away and a few bridges have been lost.

11:21 am

cybernan

bye Ru

11:27 am

vashongin

That sounds awful, nan. Climate change is to blame for a lot of this unusual weather.

11:28 am

cybernan

I think so too, vash

11:30 am

cybernan

ko 6-7 please?

11:33 am

justafreep

the 7 has all the esses. it's a plant. I did not know the word. (I hope this makes up for my lack of clues last night before you slept!)

11:34 am

cybernan

ty monkeyed it

11:34 am

cybernan

new word for me as well

11:36 am

cybernan

a few non words as well

11:37 am

MollyL

God Nan, as if you don't have enough to deal with. Whoever said God doesn't give us more than we can handle is a big, fat liar.

11:40 am

cybernan

I have a couple of fridges and a small chest freezer that I usually keep preey well stocked, so this didn't catch me empty handed.

11:41 am

cybernan

The price of groceries has skyrocketed though - despite the gov't warnings against price gouging

11:41 am

cybernan

Gas has skyrocketed as well because one of the pipelines had to be shut down.

11:49 am

MollyL

Again, way too much to deal with. Here's to better days.

11:57 am

cybernan

*!*~*!* Another grid I could not have completed without lickety and clues. Hagd everyone and stay safe :)

12:26 pm

origami

I was very surprised about Torgone. He was last posted on Facebook Nov 7 and I had been wondering what was going on with him, since he normally posted every day. He was a very nice man.

12:30 pm

mab

It's so very sad. Do you know what happened with him, origami?

12:39 pm

origami

No, I don't know.

12:41 pm

NANCY

What happened to Torgone? Did he pass away?

12:41 pm

origami

Yes, he did.

12:42 pm

NANCY

OMG, so sorry to hear about that. He was a frequent chatter years ago and I talked with him often. So sad.

12:48 pm

mab

Tom has such a dry humor, I loved that. And yet he was awfully kind too.

12:50 pm

NANCY

Please let me know if anyone finds out what happened. Still trying to find out about Haz and Milfan.

12:51 pm

mab

Haz too?

12:52 pm

NANCY

Haz stopped playing abruptly which is not like her.

12:54 pm

mab

Oh, yes, I see.

1:05 pm

MollyL

There are people here who used to communicate with Haz outside of Babble. Not sure if they still do.

1:05 pm

MollyL

I think with MLFan it might be an internet connection issue.

1:37 pm

mich_pdx

Oh no re: Torgone. He was a joy to have in the chat.

1:37 pm

hokie carla

I like your candle and profile message, molly. sorry to hear about torgone.

1:46 pm

hurshy

torgone?!?!

1:47 pm

hurshy

good golly

2:14 pm

MollyL

Thanks, Carla. Sad to lose a long-time player that so many people liked.

3:00 pm

Bugsaw

Torgone was always funny and a gentleman. I am sad for his passing too. Thank you to whoever first found out and notified the group.

de6/24 please hi all

3:24 pm

periwinkle

I was sorry to hear about Torgone too. He was a nice, funny man

3:28 pm

lynxxx

Torgone could be said to have de6.24ed this mortal coil. Another dear soul to leave us.

3:34 pm

3:51 pm

mab

I wonder if facebookers know more about Tom; maybe his kids posted something. I left fb a while ago, so... Would like to know how it was for him, he felt like a friend if only in the limited online way.

4:02 pm

origami

mab - his kids just posted a FB message that he had passed on Monday. He was still active on FB on Nov 7 but then no more posts.

4:08 pm

periwinkle

origami are you still playing words with friends?

4:08 pm

mab

Thanks origami. He was not very old, which is part of the shock I guess. I'd hoped he would come back here.

4:13 pm

periwinkle

how old was he?

4:14 pm

mab

around 64, i think

4:35 pm

MollyL

Sometimes when people don't post about how someone died it is because they would rather keep it private.

4:39 pm

periwinkle

very true Molly

4:41 pm

periwinkle

it is my last day in this apartment and I am ambivalent about moving downstairs. I am used to living by myself.

4:42 pm

periwinkle

12 left here.

4:42 pm

Bugsaw

Who knows, peri? It might be nice to have someone to chat with sometimes. I hope it goes well for you.

4:44 pm

periwinkle

I have know her over 40 years. We were roomates many many years ago.

4:46 pm

Bugsaw

I like my privacy too but it can be nice to have someone handy to share a laugh or two. It is giving up your independence that sucks.

4:46 pm

periwinkle

I want my own bathroom!!!

4:47 pm

Bugsaw

Such a good point.

4:50 pm

mab

Correct ML. I posted very briefly the deaths of my father and sister. But there is no harm in asking others what may have posted re a mutual friend.

4:53 pm

origami

peri - I was taking a FB break, but went back in today and played :D

4:54 pm

periwinkle

I did see that you played today :) right after I asked the question here

4:55 pm

periwinkle

tr6/24 please

4:55 pm

periwinkle

I will continue to look for another apartment. since my name will not be on the lease I can leave at any time

4:56 pm

origami

Why are you moving, peri?

4:56 pm

periwinkle

I was planning on moving since I live on the 2nd floor and the steps are steep. Also no laundry facilities.

4:57 pm

periwinkle

but no apartment available where I want to go. So I am grateful that I can move downstairs for a while

4:57 pm

periwinkle

I will access to the basement with a washer and dryer in the new apt

4:58 pm

periwinkle

will have access

4:58 pm

periwinkle

grateful but not happy

4:59 pm

periwinkle

this will be the last time that I move. it is unsettling to say the least to move

4:59 pm

periwinkle

last time once I get my own place again

4:59 pm

periwinkle

tr6/24 pls. my last word

5:04 pm

periwinkle

found it on morewords

5:06 pm

origami

Access to the laundry is important!
