just looking at the chat log... the virus is called norovirus or Norwalk virus. causes violent gastrointestinal symptoms for 2 days or so - some people need IV fluids - and then it goes away. except you're still contagious fo a few days after you get better.

Lickety I know t isn't a problem but he uses his PC for his business and I guess he just desn't want to risk getting any virus in it.

moonwoof

Or men that go in and get snakes for you. I like those, too. But those men are better when they're not smart. They go in faster if they're not smart.

A bed without a frame is surely a hammock
3:30 am

wow, pain meds finally kicking in. I am relieved. Stupid things take about 90 minutes to even start working.
4:56 am
BabbleRabble

that is unacceptable
4:57 am
BabbleRabble

are the meds prescribed as needed? in otherwords may you take more if you need more?
4:57 am
sprite

went back to my doctor about them and she says we are a bit stuck with them. My body will not accept the stick on painkillers and the stuff that was reasonably working does not go with the antidep meds.
4:58 am
sprite

I have 50 mg oxycontin daily and I can take up to 8 paracetamol with it if I need it... but paracetamol does not do a lot of good, to be honest.
4:59 am
sprite

problem is, I feel I am getting hooked on the oxycontin. Used to last for about 14 hours, now it only lasts 10 to 11 hours and when it ends, I feel really sick. I have cut down to 40 mg already, don't want this stuff to rule my life.
4:59 am
BabbleRabble

Once again I think your doctor has the priorities wrong
5:00 am
BabbleRabble

there are many meds for depression why take one that inhibits pain mangagement?
5:01 am

I am going back to her this month and tell her that too. This is not working for me, and there must be other solutions.
5:01 am
BabbleRabble

the pain compounds the depression
5:02 am
sprite

I am not sure, BabbleRabble... though it was hell while waiting for the antidep to start working well, I am now really happy with it. Changing would mean starting all over again, wouldn't it?
5:02 am
sprite

yes, I agree, pain is a serious contributor to the feelings of depression and exhaustion.
5:02 am
BabbleRabble

yes
5:04 am
BabbleRabble

altho it will take some time to get to the market, there are some new meds that act directly on the area of the brain that needs attention bypassing the neurorecptors that delay relief
5:05 am

hi everyone

hi all
5:08 am
sprite

if the oxycontin would last 24 hours, like the tramadol did, I wouldn´t have so many problems with it. But I cannot sleep when I take it in the evening, so somewhere in the night it stops working and then I cannot sleep from the pain. It is madness.
Well, thanks for being there for me while I was nagging. And for helping me think of better options!

hi ardilla, hi carlee.
5:10 am
mrpresident

how many grams you take?
5:10 am
sprite

5 x 10, mrP
5:10 am
mrpresident

100mg tramadol = 5mg morphine... very little use with sever pain
5:10 am
BabbleRabble

medications have a tendency to lose some viability over time as our body's adjust ... I have been to told to take something different on occasion but go back to what works. changing is frustrating but you should not have to choose between pain or depression or both
5:10 am
sprite

mg that is
5:11 am
sprite

I agree, Rabble. One of my good intentions for this new year is to have a serious talk with my doctor about the pain meds and antideps, and find some other solution.
5:12 am
BabbleRabble

How is the rehab for your arm going, mrp?
5:12 am
mrpresident

i take oxy and endone. I was on 420mg daily when i was in hospital, came home on 200mg and am down to 50mg. tramadol is absolutely useless for me. I will not take it
5:12 am
sprite

I know, mrP. But tramadol urges your body to make more endorphine itself, and it seems my body reacts very good to that.
5:12 am
sprite

what is endone=
5:12 am
mrpresident

do you react well with codeine?
5:12 am
mrpresident

endone is like oxy... quick reliease and 4 hourly
5:13 am
sprite

reasonably well, mrP, though it is a bit like paracetamol for me... doesn't do a lot of good. Just takes the worst edges off.
5:14 am
licketySplitAUS

tram can't be taken with tricylic antideps
5:14 am
sprite

I know, lickety, that is why I had to start using oxycontin, and I just don't like the stuff. Have the feeling it is not good for me.
5:17 am
mrpresident

i use oxy cause it is a short term (under 1 year) treatment for pain.... and it works well, but it isn't good for the emotional soul. it is essentially morphine and needs to be treated as such. very addictive, and must be slow to come off it or it hurts
5:17 am

thanks all, you have given me more ammo to use on my doctor. She is a good woman and a good doctor, so I know she will listen and help me find something better.

lol... good one, will use that too!
5:24 am

if you feel that the oxy is helping, try going for the endone instead... it is more helpful in the short term... ie, it takes 15 min to work

I wouldn't mind being a healthy millionnaire, btw

i only ask cause pain relief is diff for everyone. I do believe I have been given a good regime, even if it sounds silly to some people. I have been doing this for 8 years and have come off the drugs very successfully with my docs help.
It would seem you are on strong pain meds, but if they are messing with your head, address the antideps, your doc will be able to advise you if she is a good lady
5:32 am

I have all the As, meta. Should be able to help.
5:34 am
mrpresident

btw sprite, my inlaws did not come today. they decided to avoid rather than confront. am glad in a way cause i am so drained from the stress and pain. I don't believe I function normally under easy circumstances, so difficult ones certainly mess with me
5:34 am
sprite

it is messing with my sleep, not with my head. Also, I really feel it is not good for me. And I have learned to trust my body in this. I KNOW if a drug is damaging to me, I just feel it.
5:35 am
sprite

maybe it is good to have a longer period to recover, mrP. I hope they did not put it off though.
5:35 am
mrpresident

oh, that might explain me being awake at 5am every morning! perhaps since i reduced my meds, it has affected me too, again
5:36 am
metaleather

ty sprite... I'm going to get some more caffeine and see if that helps. if it doesn't, I'll come knockin'
5:36 am

that is probably related, indeed, mrP. Might be good to shift your schedule of intake over some time, so the waking will be around 7, not 5.

hi, all. last night was fun. we went shopping for curtain rods for the patio door and my office. I bought white fabric shower curtains with liners, and we hung them on the patio doors...it looks really good, with no decrease in the light level. I also have a white fabric shower curtan in a floral print for my office. The thing I like about the fabric shower curtains is, they are inexpensive, very attractive, and get the job done until we can get "real" curtains.

Haz1558

to5/14 is only fishy if you're into chemicals and things.
4:17 pm
Minveryork

4:21 pm
icepyro

haz... tell me a better clue and I will be happy to use it in the future
4:22 pm
Minveryork

Does that 109 mean that you finished grid rururocks
4:22 pm
Haz1558

Okay, try using the first three letters of the preceding to4/4 and adding the adverb ending, backwards. Or t plus contracted Mr Hardy, letters mixed up.
4:23 pm
Minveryork

I'll try to remember that one next time someone asks
4:23 pm
icepyro

ok :)
4:23 pm

4:24 pm
Haz1558

I know it makes people work harder but there we are.
4:24 pm
mo

I agree.
4:25 pm
icepyro

I agree with hating to spell them out, but I could not think of any clues
4:25 pm
Haz1558

And if people are really stuck, there are things like a2z and morewords to help out.
4:25 pm
Minveryork

As I stated earlier,I need practice giving clues, but I do my best. I hope to one day be as good as the rest.
4:26 pm
Haz1558

I know, Minver. I just refuse to use spelling out letters.
4:28 pm
renfield

spelling is fun
4:28 pm
icepyro

If I can think of any clue at all that doesnt involve spelling, then I try... but that has been one of the toughter ones for me to clue today =\
4:28 pm
Minveryork

Hello renfield!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

4:30 pm
Haz1558

I know, I know, but that's part of the challenge of giving clues. I didn't mean to scold.
4:30 pm
Minveryork

It is not the first time I've been scolded for my clues.
4:31 pm
renfield

i try to look at the person asking for the clue
4:31 pm

I'm doing well renfield.I'm almost done.How about you
4:32 pm

4:35 pm
joanne0334

4:36 pm
renfield

http://www.morewords.com/wordsbylength here is the one we're talking about jo
4:36 pm
bbnaz

morewords........where do you find that Haz?
4:36 pm
Haz1558

No. There are websites available (www.a2zwordfinder.com or www.morewords.com) that give lists of words. They are really useful, especially if you use Lickety and know what the first two letters are.
4:36 pm
joanne0334

ohhh interesting
4:36 pm
Haz1558

If you have LIckety expert, you'll find them listed under Resources.
4:37 pm
renfield

they help for those stinky sticky ones
4:37 pm
joanne0334

so that's how some get done so fast??
4:37 pm
Haz1558

You thought we knew all these words?
4:37 pm
joanne0334

peeewww
4:37 pm
icepyro

Ive decided that to get done fast you just have to be good
4:37 pm
bbnaz

i think that those who get done so fast are just good at word games..........
4:37 pm
bbnaz

Yes indeed Haz, I DO believe that you know all these words!
4:37 pm
joanne0334

true too
4:38 pm
icepyro

Ive poored over word lists sometimes and it actually slows me down until i reach the ridiculously hard or words i have never heard of
4:38 pm
renfield

yes - i think they are too - they know how to spell and use the monkey theory
4:38 pm
Haz1558

Some get the grid done fast because they are geniuses. Others get the grid done fast because they use all resources. Guess which category I am in?
4:38 pm
rururocks

sometimes morewords gives too many options though haz
4:38 pm
joanne0334

i like the monkey theory!!
4:38 pm
bbnaz

a2z works best for me
4:38 pm
bbnaz

after the monkeys have given up the ghost that is....
4:38 pm
joanne0334

probably same as me haz hehe
4:38 pm
Haz1558

Morewords DOES give lots of options, but you get used to scanning through.
4:38 pm
rururocks

haz.. you are a genius who uses word lists.. lol
4:39 pm
bbnaz

although plenty of times the words are not in a2z
4:39 pm
bbnaz

4:39 pm
Haz1558

No genius - I just don't have the patience to sit endlessly trying permutations. I'd rather read through lists.

6:27 pm
Minveryork

Hello Uniquity! How are you? Thanks for the welcome!
6:28 pm
Uniquity

Late start on babble with lots to do. Watching a movie and finishing grid, then some readings for school, cleaning and preparing for first day back. Yourself?
6:29 pm
Minveryork

Wow!Talk about multi-tasking! I had an early start. I have been taking a VERY long time to finish this grid.
6:30 pm
Uniquity

As I am watching a movie as well, I am truly puttering through this grid. First break all day, and enjoying it. Weird words though! That yl had me stumped
6:31 pm
Minveryork

There are lots of non-words in puzzle today Uniquity.
6:32 pm
Uniquity

I agree, so far
6:34 pm
mhm

Hello, I'm a total newbie to this site. Can anyone please tell me how to decipher the tile stats? Word stats obvioiusly refer to numbers of words at specified length.
6:35 pm
Minveryork

Hello mhm!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle
6:36 pm
Uniquity

The tile stats show you how many words start with that specific tile. The first of the two numbers represents the number of words you have, the second is the total.
6:36 pm
Uniquity

Helpful links to consider on first view of babble include help which is found above chat as well as angelsongs babble page found beneath tile stats in "friends of babble". Finally, welcome!! Enjoy, it's addictive :)
6:36 pm
mhm

Thanks so much. Appreciate the help. I've only got 20 words so far! Long way to go.
6:38 pm
mhm

I used to play this game in "real" life, but it was called Boggle. Great game. We used to race the other players to get as many unique words as possible in 3 minutes.
6:39 pm
Minveryork

Do play WEBOGGLE mhm? I play that game everyday.
6:39 pm
Uniquity

Exactly! This is "the wordgame superchild of scrabble and boggle", lol. I adore it...a nice chance to play when there are no live people around, with 24 hours to work on each grid
6:39 pm
mhm

Yes, it is addictive. And I should be defrosting the freezer!
6:40 pm
Uniquity

I should be reading for school, cleaning my apt. and preparing for school! Babble always comes first though, heh!

hehe
7:22 pm
EvaNadine

MrP!
evening, gorgeous! (or mornin, for you!)
how goes it?
7:22 pm
Uniquity

I always thought they could release babies without names? They had a few weeks? And doesn't your brother get a vote? :) Hey Mr P!!
7:22 pm
mrpresident

is a nice lunch time here :)
7:23 pm
mrpresident

you can wait 4 weeks to name a child.
7:23 pm
EvaNadine

i think the law here is that they need a name for the birth certificate + that must be filled out before the baby goes home
7:23 pm
EvaNadine

and my brother doesnt get much of a say since this one is a girl...heh...he got to pick first names for the boys. :)
7:23 pm

10:45 pm
Ping

it's a loosely organized program in which people write an entire novel (50,000 words) in a month
10:46 pm
Ping

i think maybe they do it in the fall but i'm not sure
10:46 pm
Ping

you could google it - stands for national novel writing month
10:46 pm

11:10 pm

jonnyl32

i have one semester left... MBA
11:13 pm

11:13 pm
shdybr8

go jonny!
11:13 pm
shdybr8

go stid!
11:13 pm
stidmama

but the people I know who pursue it are very impressive!
11:14 pm
jonnyl32

yeah, it's very boring to learn, but to me, it seems easier than undergrad... all the stuff just kind of builds off what i learned then
11:14 pm
Ping

flying pig = good metaphor for a phd (full disclosure: i have a phd)
11:14 pm
shdybr8

hey ping, tell Rob I said hi, and apologize for last time
11:14 pm
stidmama

that makes sense. I think it must be nice to have a real sense of direction. I never did. Took another 20 years after the bachelor's to realize I should study the things I just read about anyway! LOL
11:15 pm
jonnyl32

yeah, i still don't really have a direction, but the mba gives me lots of options
11:16 pm
shdybr8

stid i talk to my friends from undergrad, all chemistry grad students now, they are amazed i made such a change
11:16 pm
stidmama

one of my friends calls her phd a "phud" -- chose a field she likes "okay" because it was paid for, but now lives where there are no jobs in it!
11:17 pm
shdybr8

my long-term goal is consulting....wearing pj's, never leaving my house (or rarely)
11:17 pm
jonnyl32

that's a great goal
11:17 pm
stidmama

another friend with a phd spent all her time on the degree and making her way in the field afterward... but missed out on the family. It's such a delicate balance.
11:17 pm
stidmama
