* hugs * sprite. cooee and g'day from me to you all.

1:37 am

sprite

hi sweetie *hugs*

1:40 am

grannyrose

how are you going today Sprite?

1:42 am

sprite

am miserable. It is way too hot, 35C and up, in this humidity. But, on the plus side, we moved our bed downstairs, now that Caya is back at Juno's, and hopefully today we will move the desks. Which means we will only have to walk the stairs for showering.

1:43 am

grannyrose

good one honey. but not happy about that heat and humidity.

1:44 am

sprite

no it is less than fun. Can't wait for the weather to break and give me that thunderstorm that is making me so ill right now.

1:44 am

sprite

and how are you today?

1:46 am

grannyrose

at that " i don't want to do that/this stage" even with valium not sleeping. still doing exercises but have cut back some. have to keep everything moving or i'll lock up.

1:47 am

sprite

yeah, try to find that sweet middle spot of keeping it limber but not pushing too hard. Counting down the days now?

1:48 am

grannyrose

new research re FM. it has been found it is a disease of the immune system. huge step forward. up to now sufferers were being told it's all in your head. grrr.

1:49 am

sprite

ikr?

1:49 am

grannyrose

AND Long Covid is a form of FM. so breakthrough there in the Rx of long covid.

1:49 am

sprite

oh wow

1:52 am

grannyrose

and... surprise, surprise, the nerves at skin level are either too small or not present. and, and we have antibodies which attack the nerves themselves.

1:52 am

sprite

that explains so much

1:53 am

grannyrose

sure does. and it all starts with a triggering event. well duh !

1:54 am

sprite

isn't it amazing how much sooner they would have found all this out, if they had listened to the people suffering from it?

1:56 am

grannyrose

in my case the repeat surgery on my knee with the subsequent sewing of nerves into my suture line. with covid sufferers have their immune system triggered by the virus. but long covid has no viral activity at all. it's all the antibodies they are now producing.

1:57 am

grannyrose

instead of being treated like a bunch of neurotics who need psych care...

1:57 am

sprite

guess that explains me too. Surgeries, and 3x covid.

1:59 am

Kamanjah

FM sucks. I wonder when this new research will lead to something that actually helps people who live with it.

2:00 am

sprite

that will be the next step. Usually takes many years.

2:00 am

grannyrose

exactly sweetheart. i can only suggest you find a Compound Pharmacy, that is one which makes up various compounds. the pharmacist should be able to make up the PEA (palmitoethanolamide) compound for you. PEA stops the production of substance P a neurotransmitter which enables message to pass along from nerve to nerve.

2:01 am

grannyrose

hey Kam. this is life-changing stuff. it gives us FM people a chance to LIVE again.

2:01 am

sprite

Rose, do you have a link to the research on this? I want to let Juno know.

2:01 am

mab

may i ask what FM stands for? sorry to eavesdrop.

2:01 am

Kamanjah

I knew substance P was an issue but haven't heard of PEA before. Will ask my doc if he knows anything about it next time I go.

2:01 am

grannyrose

fibromyalgia

2:01 am

sprite

hiya mab, you are always welcome to join!

2:01 am

grannyrose

mab, you are not eavesdropping.

2:02 am

Kamanjah

I would LOVE to not have my body feel so awful!

2:02 am

mab

oh, thank you.

2:03 am

Kamanjah

Sprite, does pasting links still mess up the chat?

2:03 am

grannyrose

like i said Kam, you need to find a Compound Pharmicist. they would have an extra qualification which allows them to make up compounds,

2:03 am

Kamanjah

I found some research on it.

2:03 am

sprite

yes, you need to shorten the URL

2:03 am

sprite

or email me?

2:05 am

grannyrose

and the latest is that paracetamol, acetominophen in the USA, doesn't help all that much. meds like amitriptyline or duloxetene are recommended.

2:05 am

Kamanjah

I haven't read it yet, but check it out. I will later. https://tinyurl.com/3c7eprxc

2:06 am

sprite

thanks Kam

2:06 am

Kamanjah

I have discovered that boswellia works better than NSAIDS without the side effects.

2:07 am

mab

oh my goodness, I know the words, but I knew nothing at all about it until just now - the cleveland clinic explained.

2:07 am

grannyrose

interesting Kam.

2:07 am

mab

virtually nothing known..

2:07 am

Kamanjah

Sprite, I don't have your email addy any longer. My old hard disc crashed and I lost all of my saved emails. My email is the same, shoot me a quick note so I can save your email addy.

2:08 am

grannyrose

mab, go to the Kingsley research.

2:08 am

sprite

yes mab, it is a nasty, nasty disease. My child-in-law suffers from it to the point that they cannot stand, walk, or do anything at some days.

2:08 am

mab

it sounds absolutely tortuous.

2:08 am

grannyrose

and make sure it is up-to-date info. check the date of the articles.

2:08 am

sprite

my email is near the bottom of my profile, Kam

2:09 am

mab

thank you for that granny rose.

2:09 am

grannyrose

mab, on a bad day i describe it like a tooth ache from the top of my head to the tips of my toes.

2:10 am

mab

i'm so sorry.

2:10 am

sprite

my case is not as severe, thank God. But still pretty bad.

2:11 am

Kamanjah

Got it, Sprite.

2:12 am

sprite

awesome

2:12 am

grannyrose

oh sprite, please dearest. you are just as bad as i am. do not belittle your pain honey. and there is the agony of your emotions added in from that other disorder.

2:12 am

sprite

yeah true. I meant I am not as bad off as Juno is.

2:13 am

mab

i have an autoimmune disease; for many years it was not understood as a real illness. it certainly is accepted as real now - takes more time than it should.

2:13 am

grannyrose

it's so hard to see someone suffering like that.

2:13 am

sprite

I am so sorry, mab. It is rotten to have a disease in the first place. Not being believed makes it so much worse.

2:14 am

mab

first aspirin, then psychologist, then any combination of pills and the continuing belief that it's all in your head.

2:15 am

grannyrose

mab, medicos have been way to fast to label things under the umbrella " it's in the head" or you're over emotional. blah, blah. i could scream sometimes but have now found a GP who is keeping up to date with all the latest research. bless her.

2:15 am

sprite

it makes me so angry when that happens. I mean, jeezzzz, for starters we wouldn't even go to the doctor if aspirin worked.

2:15 am

mab

science has lots to catch up on fibromyalgia - i've known that term for a zillion years.

2:16 am

grannyrose

lol... exactly.

2:16 am

Kamanjah

Mab, I've been on that merry-go-round since 1989. I do better with natural supplements, including CBD.
Rose, does the PEA interact with CBD since they both hit the same receptors?

2:17 am

sprite

rose, could you please email me the link to the research about PEA helping with FM?

2:18 am

grannyrose

m not sure Kam. would be worth looking into that. i had to come off 5-HTP in order to take duloxetene.

2:21 am

grannyrose

sprite, do you use tiktok?

2:21 am

sprite

no I don't

2:22 am

grannyrose

okay. Don is down loading the video and will make it so i can use whatsapp.

2:22 am

sprite

he is the best

2:23 am

grannyrose

that's the video about the new research. now, you should be able to google PEA. or on whatever platform you use.

2:23 am

Kamanjah

Rose, please put it on FB and tag me, or just put in on my home page.

2:23 am

sprite

yeah mab's link helped with that

2:23 am

grannyrose

okay Kam

2:27 am

grannyrose

Kam sent it to you on FB messenger

2:27 am

sprite

thanks rose. It breaks off at the point where he says "whenever you have been to a doctor or medic..."

2:28 am

grannyrose

yeah, but you get enough info to check out the research facilities for yourself which it what i did.

2:28 am

sprite

ah right, thanks hun, will do and get the links so I can update Juno

2:31 am

grannyrose

i hope Juno can find the proper MD to help her.

2:31 am

sprite

we won't stop until we find one

2:32 am

grannyrose

may i suggest you look for a doc who was first an anaesthetist, then furthered their studies into chronic pain management.

2:34 am

sprite

not that easy a task in the netherlands, honey, we are but a very small country. But will give it a shot.

2:34 am

Kamanjah

I would have to drive over 100 miles through some of the heaviest traffic in California. I need to find someone willing to take me - I miss Michael so damn much! He would get me where I needed to go, just how I got him to his brain surgery.

2:35 am

sprite

if I lived closer, I'd take you in a heartbeat, Kam

2:35 am

Kamanjah

I know you would! <3

2:37 am

grannyrose

DC Klinieken Sprite. new clinics for pain management.

2:40 am

Kamanjah

Rose, I'm glad you posted the info. It gives me a new direction to research. If I need to get to San Francisco or Stanford, I'm sure I can find someone who won't mind taking me.

2:41 am

grannyrose

no problems Kam. glad i could help you.

2:44 am

sprite

thanks rose

2:44 am

sprite

someone will, Kam. You deserve no less.

2:45 am

grannyrose

yw sprite

2:45 am

Kamanjah

Thanks, ladies. Love you!

2:45 am

sprite

love you right back, hun

2:45 am

grannyrose

as we love you Kam.

2:48 am

grannyrose

i wish i had a stack of disposable income i could share with you all. i would pay for your doc, meds, transport, everything. i can really fe4 the pain and suffering you are going through.

2:49 am

sprite

love you to pieces, rose. Your heart is big enough for the whole wide world.

2:51 am

grannyrose

adore you my darling.

2:51 am

Kamanjah

Rose, you are a sweetheart! I wish we were all in the same place! We are continents apart!

2:53 am

sprite

fireflies. Good grid. Better conversation :)

2:53 am

Kamanjah

I went shopping today. It seems almost everything was $2-$3 dollars more than it was a couple of months ago. And the least expensive meats (which I feed my animals) were totally sold out after I left.

2:54 am

Kamanjah

Yay Sprite! It seems to be a nice grid, but I started chatting before I even looked at the grid when I saw what Rose posted.

2:54 am

Kamanjah

Have a lovely day!

2:54 am

sprite

am off to walk Nero, then to work on moving downstairs. Thanks, my friends. *hugs* to you all.

2:56 am

9:35 am

hey hokie - is there a new driver in your golf bag?

9:36 am

welki

hi phae, lindy

9:36 am

aslindy

hi welki

9:36 am

phaeton

hello

9:37 am

hokie carla

ha, not yet. was going to head to golf galaxy this morning with the youngest but of course he is still sleeping.

9:38 am

hokie carla

My new wedge and putter I ordered online did arrive yesterday though.

9:38 am

welki

what'd you get?

9:40 am

hokie carla

just both were on sale. I think a 52 degree for the wedge. I think it is Tommy Armour? some brand I'd never heard of. and the putter was just Top Flite.

9:40 am

welki

wake the kid up and get shopping - you have to get to the course to practice :D

9:41 am

welki

i have my 'high handicappers' round in a few hours - always fun

9:42 am

hokie carla

I know, I told him we could play after. our home course is closed on tuesdays but our club is one of 7 connected ones and we can play at the one that's 10 min away instead. but that's the one mr. homie & I lost so many balls the other day because of the clumps of grass right beside the fairway.

9:43 am

welki

if there's no one behind you, do a quick, foot stomping, recon

9:43 am

welki

i found a nice ball on sunday and then promptly pounded it into the woods

9:43 am

hokie carla

yeah, mr. homie found a ProV1 and lost it there.

9:44 am

welki

my husband coveted it, and i was going to give it to him after the round, but when i found it, it immediately became 'the lucky ball' .... some luck :)

9:45 am

welki

my husband plays pro v1 - every year, i order 3 boxes and have them personalized (so you'll know you found one of his in the woods, brush, water ...)

9:46 am

hokie carla

I played a pink one the other day, hit the drive farther than I ever had on that hole, across the cart path. found a pink ball in deep grass, then went to get a club and never found it again, so I dropped one. then we found another pink one on the next tee that was most definitely my original one.

9:46 am

welki

4 boxes - i wait for a buy three, get one free sale

9:46 am

hokie carla

yeah, I found a monogrammed ball the other day and then lost it.

9:47 am

welki

i don't have the club speed for type-of-ball to matter, but it gets in your head, doesn't it

9:48 am

hokie carla

yeah, I just buy cheap ones

9:48 am

hokie carla

would like to find my top 3 T's so I could gray a row

9:49 am

hokie carla

I guess you can't be topsier and turvier

9:50 am

welki

well, i am.

9:54 am

hokie carla

ooh, last col gray

9:55 am

hokie carla

and bottom row

9:57 am

hokie carla

still no HOET thanks to 2nd col E

9:59 am

BzznBea

you left out the tile you are working on.

1:03 pm

ChampFit

No kidding, Molly

1:27 pm

dcseain

thanks for those AA words

1:35 pm

ChampFit

Odd that we've had them twice recently.

1:44 pm

dcseain

I found li words that were yesterday also.

1:45 pm

ChampFit

Yes! Got 'em. Weird that we're having them both so soon.

1:53 pm

dcseain

upside, it's helped me solidify how to spell that.

1:53 pm

ChampFit

Yes! It's weird.

2:17 pm

dcseain

finally got the lone E

2:22 pm

ChampFit

I have no idea how I monkeyed it.

2:26 pm

dcseain

Allons-y!

2:27 pm

ChampFit

Gettin' cocky, Seain!

2:27 pm

dcseain

fial was an alt spelling of vial when I was a teenager

2:28 pm

ChampFit

With all the alt spellings it takes, you'd think...

2:28 pm

dcseain

indeed

2:29 pm

dcseain

it also doesn't take rede4, which does happen in many a card game.

2:30 pm

Agree! Or re-ir4....annoying!

yay food!

4:16 pm

mkg

I have fu 6 but not any 7 or 8. Hmmm

4:17 pm

mkg

Does the fu refer to skin of animals and their â€œhair?

4:22 pm

moolingwa

not a regular set of words

4:22 pm

mkg

I HAVE NO 8S, 9S OR THE TEN. HELP WELCOME.

4:22 pm

mkg

Ty

4:22 pm

moolingwa

I have a fu 6/7 combo that is not related to a 5/7/8 set

4:24 pm

moolingwa

and the 6/7 combo is not related to the standalone 6, although I guess they have a common etymological stem and have broadly related meanings

4:24 pm

moolingwa

and the 6/7 combo is not related to the standalone 6, although I guess they have a common etymological stem and have broadly related meanings

4:24 pm

moolingwa

actually the 6/7 is related to a 5

4:24 pm

mkg

Would love clues for these words moo. Ty

4:25 pm

mkg

Europe in grid but alas not a word we can use.

4:25 pm

moolingwa

fu5 meaning a to-do or "up in arms"

4:25 pm

moolingwa

and then add a letter and plural to get the 6/7

4:27 pm

mkg

Have that fu. Ty

4:27 pm

moolingwa

the 5/7/8 combo

Is a 5 that starts the way you thought, then has comparative and superlative

4:27 pm

mkg

Hgave that 5, 6, 7. Or am i confused????hmmm

4:27 pm

moolingwa

there are two sets

4:28 pm

moolingwa

the 5/6/7 are the up in arms one

4:28 pm

moolingwa

the 5/7/8 are different words that happen to start the same

4:28 pm

mkg

I have a 5, 6 and 7 but no 8

4:40 pm

moolingwa

hey hursh, happy Tuesday

4:41 pm

hurshy

happy tuesday to you mool

4:41 pm

jesdraggon

how go all the things?

4:41 pm

moolingwa

thanks, down to the dregs on this board

4:42 pm

moolingwa

getting there jes, you?

4:42 pm

jesdraggon

just started

4:42 pm

moolingwa

actually I'm upset with my city developing some wild park area near me

4:43 pm

jesdraggon

why?

4:43 pm

hurshy

because he likes the wild park area, he doesn't want it to be developed

4:44 pm

hurshy

that's the usual reason anyway

4:44 pm

jesdraggon

OH! I had that backwards, I'm sorry - I thought you meant they were putting in a park!

4:44 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, I'd be upset too

4:44 pm

hurshy

yeah that's what i figured you thought lol

4:44 pm

hurshy

Ts Toppled!

4:45 pm

jesdraggon

terrific!

4:45 pm

moolingwa

yes, it's well utilized today, and home to a number of prairie dogs

4:45 pm

jesdraggon

always need more greenspace for my precious trash pandas! :)

4:45 pm

moolingwa

but also snakes, birds and other wildlife

4:46 pm

hurshy

:(

4:46 pm

moolingwa

Actually we've got a racoon who just started coming right up to our sliding door

4:46 pm

hurshy

found the 9s and 10!

4:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

bad news.

4:46 pm

moolingwa

And the city is turning this land into generic parkland :(

4:46 pm

moolingwa

which will cost money to maintain of course

4:47 pm

moolingwa

unlike the current prairie like grassland that requires almost nothing

4:47 pm

hurshy

why would they do that then

4:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

they have manicured our trails to the pint that you hardly see wildlife

4:47 pm

moolingwa

It's a good question to be honest, I don't know

4:48 pm

hurshy

is it like too late to mount an objection or whatever?

4:48 pm

moolingwa

they are in the process of tearing up the actual park they have and replacing it with artificial turf

4:48 pm

jesdraggon

ugh

4:48 pm

hurshy

ugh

4:48 pm

moolingwa

I'm not certain, I have to find out

4:49 pm

jesdraggon

go stake yourself to the ground so they can't pull the sod up?

4:49 pm

hurshy

phantom: sprout (and will soon be a phantom in mool's park... :( )

4:50 pm

moolingwa

I have been tempted to trigger all their prairie dog traps, but figure I need to go through the official channels

4:50 pm

moolingwa

plus I'm concerned that they'll then just and gas them

4:50 pm

jesdraggon

are they relocating them?

4:52 pm

moolingwa

I assume so, because when they want to get rid of them usually they gas them

4:53 pm

hurshy

humans! gah!

4:54 pm

moolingwa

they couldn't even keep the grass and the trees alive in the existing park

4:54 pm

hurshy

so close on the S, just one more of them

4:54 pm

moolingwa

yes, I have one S left too

4:55 pm

jesdraggon

maybe that's why they think artificial grass would be better? but seems way less of a long-term issue to just plant drought-resistant and native plants and let it go

4:56 pm

jesdraggon

ah, you gunners, i have 37 s's to go :P

4:56 pm

moolingwa

So I live in Colorado and I'm pretty sure it's going to cost way more for artificial turf upkeep (and ultimate replacement) than grass

4:56 pm

hurshy

i didn't know i was a gunner

4:57 pm

jesdraggon

go-getter?

4:58 pm

hurshy

i'm definitely not a go-getter in any context other than babble

4:58 pm

hurshy

Ls Lambasted!

4:58 pm

jesdraggon

well babble is the context in which i know you best :)

4:58 pm

moolingwa

5:06 pm

5:08 pm

moolingwa

I don't typically finish here

5:08 pm

Dorens

She's been in several Indies and just got a callback for a full feature film. Mostly NY. NJ would be convenient for her, she lives here in Mountain Lakes

5:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

well perhaps she would like to check it out?

5:09 pm

moolingwa

I'm 53 away from genius over at bee

5:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:09 pm

Dorens

I used to always finish. It was so important to me. But the last year or two I've been less motivated. These past few weeks I've been laid up and spending more time here.
Owl, can you send me the info?

5:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:53 pm

hokie carla

7:54 pm

hokie carla

decided to list for my last 19 and of course the first one I see is a regular word.

7:55 pm

jesdraggon

well obviously, by the time you've found that many words your brain isn't comprehending normal anymore :P

7:57 pm

hokie carla

I think so, and when you have looked many times you're just blind to anything new

8:04 pm

hokie carla

have to say I have never seen these 5 F's before so I'm glad I listed. 1 was a singular that I had somehow monkeyed the plural earlier.

8:12 pm

hokie carla

anyone here that can clue the first 2 pr7/32? I am trying to look them up and can't even find them.

8:15 pm

hokie carla

oh, found one without the lookup site. maybe I can find the other now.

8:17 pm
