hello Babblers too hot!!! to work so i am lol

2:15 am

Dr_God

We're back online, Babblers. It appears a hacker hijacked the IP of the server. I'm not quite sure what that means exactly, but my webhost claims they have tracked down the culprit, and everything should be fine now.

2:16 am

justafreep

it was HELL, Dr_God! Glad they've found 'em

2:16 am

herinfernallady

DR G did we not have a flip? OH and good to see yuou

2:18 am

licketySplitAUS

Just1Mar - Expert and Babble are completely independant

Just1Mar

2:19 am

licketySplitAUS

Dr_God - hijacking IP - mmm - that's nasty. Hope there is no senstive personal sites on that ISP

2:20 am

jillibus

Well! Welcome back Babble!

2:20 am

licketySplitAUS

Hi loredana, lady, and all

licketySplitAUS

lynxxx - she's on the phone to the kids now. She's very distraught that the infection pain is back, and only after 6 months.

1:27 am

jillibus

oh dear!

1:27 am

licketySplitAUS

Looks like antibiotic therapy for sure, but not sure what else. My worry is last time antibiotics was not enough. Positive thinking tells me that this will be the final straw to get rid of it for good.

1:27 am

justafreep

sorry to hear that, lickety!

1:28 am

lynxxx

Oh s**t, no wonder. Pls give her my love.

Lickety please take care. Oh and can you email me your address?

1:28 am

The server's clock was 57 minutes fast for some reason. I just fixed it, so don't be alarmed at the sudden time shift in the chat log.

I have an early morning dawg sitting to look forward to... I wonder if anyone will even need clues tonight.

2:08 am

herinfernallady

Moon what sort of fluffys?

2:09 am

moonwoof

4 jack russels and a cabbage

2:09 am

herinfernallady

A cabbage?

2:09 am

herinfernallady

OH and also

2:09 am

moonwoof

well, to be fair, the cabbage's mother was an australian shepard...

2:10 am

moonwoof

she's just got a head that doesnt seem to do much but it's in the ground alot...

2:10 am

moonwoof

She's very pretty, just not very bright.

2:11 am

herinfernallady

http://tinyurl.com/38uq22 this is my kitty being an Emo

2:13 am

moonwoof

she's very white for an emo kitty =)

2:14 am

herinfernallady

yes but very whiney

2:14 am

jillibus

what's an emo?

2:14 am

moonwoof

seemed so lol

2:14 am

herinfernallady

mmm Jill thats a tough one

2:15 am

moonwoof

tough to explain, Jilli... But like a goth kid but much more whiney.

2:15 am

jillibus

well, it was your word, herin, wasn't it?

2:16 am

jillibus

wow, another new word!

2:16 am

moonwoof

And to be honest, I'd say less classic styling.

2:16 am

herinfernallady

No its not my word Jill. An Emo is a whiny little bitch of a kid that just whines because they can

2:16 am

flosey

ok, 100 down, 39 for tomorrow

2:16 am

flosey

off to bed, goodnight all

2:16 am

flosey

ty

2:17 am

moonwoof

I also would Not have believe the hair styles, if I hadnt been in california when I'd been introduced to the subculture.

2:17 am

herinfernallady

Jill then again I used to be a Goth and Emo kids are whiny little babys.

2:17 am

loredana

goodnight Flosey sleep well take care

2:17 am

moonwoof

Sleep sweet flosey. Have a good night.

2:19 am

lynxxx

Hello again. Hi Woof

2:19 am

jillibus

well, live and learn -- ty for the info!

2:19 am

moonwoof

If I could take an 80's euro-goth and mash it together with a grunge kid fromt he 90's I would have a 00 Emo kid, I think.

2:19 am

jillibus

night flosey

2:19 am

moonwoof

Hiya Lynxxy! Taking stew out for a stroll?

2:19 am

Andree

hi lynxxx

2:19 am

herinfernallady

But Moon a lot of the Euro Goths are and were still pretty and stylish

2:20 am

lynxxx

Taken, now back

2:20 am

moonwoof

Right but the lack of style comes from the grunge... the whining from the depresso-goths of the 80s

2:21 am

moonwoof

Was it a good stroll?

2:21 am

herinfernallady

Moon hand most of them a nail gun so they can nail their hands to the forhead

2:22 am

moonwoof

right. The whining of morrisey with black flannels... add Keanu Reaves hair from Bill and Ted and I get Emo.

2:22 am

herinfernallady

LOL Moon

2:23 am

moonwoof

Even though that's probably not a definition Miriam-Webster would ever accept =P

2:23 am

lynxxx

tried to pick up the pace (& wear him out). Car skidded to a halt and 2 guys jumped out and ran over to us, complete with Pharoah their grey. New to neighbourhood and excited to see another grey. Cute

2:24 am

moonwoof

as long as they JUST ran over To you and didnt run over you, that does sound cute =)

2:24 am

herinfernallady

Wow Lynxx so you may have puppy play dates"

2:24 am

Andree

cute lynxxx, did they get on

2:25 am

lynxxx

Yep, apparently they always do

2:25 am

lynxxx

Yep, apparently they always do

2:26 am

moonwoof

Seriously?? I would think that odd in a dog breed.

2:26 am

moonwoof

They just dont fight?

2:27 am

lynxxx

I think they are lovers not fighters

2:27 am

moonwoof

I know they're sweethearts, but still... That must make breeding them a treat lol

2:28 am

moonwoof

Im looking forward to a morning of high pitched mayhem with 4 Jack russels... I can only Hope they're half so sweet.

2:28 am

herinfernallady

How old are they

2:28 am

jillibus

Well. 30 left for the morrow and bed for me -- night all -- have fun

2:28 am

lynxxx

4? I thought you had just 2

2:29 am

herinfernallady

Night Jill

2:29 am

moonwoof

they'll range in age... 1, 3, 5, and 8

2:29 am

lynxxx

goodnite Jilli

2:29 am

Andree

bye jilli

2:29 am

moonwoof

I only have one jack, actually. But we have a Jack and a cabbage (aussie shepard) my partner has 3 more Jacks.

2:30 am

moonwoof

Nite Jilli! Sleep sweetly.

2:30 am

jillibus

TTFN all *poof*

2:30 am

herinfernallady

Oh i thought they were puppys

2:31 am

moonwoof

For a dog they really act like puppies until they're around 8 or 9... but even her 8 year old is feisty, still.

2:31 am

lynxxx

An Aussie Shepherd, I know they are very popular in the States but we really don't see them over here

2:32 am

moonwoof

That's really funny, Lynxx. And truth be known, I didnt know much about the breed before we rescued her. I've learned more since, but she doesnt seem to be indicative of the breed.

2:33 am

moonwoof

Almost all of the others I've met like her are Much smarter, for instance. She acts much more Beagle than she does herder.

2:33 am

moonwoof

She practically lives with her nose stuck to the ground. I almost never see her eyes lol

2:34 am

lynxxx

what color/s are her eyes?

2:34 am

moonwoof

She has one brown eye and one half blue/brown

2:35 am

moonwoof

Like a star burst of blue to the right of the pupil on her right eye.

2:36 am

herinfernallady

Oh Moon is she normal function

2:36 am

lynxxx

They are very pretty dogs. Andree/Infernal do you see these dogs around - in fact, do you even know the dog at all?

2:37 am

herinfernallady

What dog?

2:37 am

moonwoof

In the left eye, yes. But the half colored eye is blind in the blue part. A breeder told me that the lack of color indicates a lack of rods and cones there making them partially blind.

2:38 am

lynxxx

An Aussie Shepherd...about the same size as a border colloie but with a very pastel colored coat, beige greys & tan...usually with pale/odd colored eyes

2:38 am

moonwoof

She means are you familiar with Australian Sherpards as a breed.

2:38 am

herinfernallady

Had to look that up. Yes my friend had them

2:38 am

herinfernallady

Thats interesting Moon

2:39 am

lynxxx

I've never actually seen one...only on US docu. shows

2:39 am

herinfernallady

My friend had about 5 of them

2:39 am

moonwoof

There's been more darkening of the coat from what I can tell in the last decade of the breed but always speckled like appaloosas

2:42 am

herinfernallady

I am tired can someone please tell me the 8 i just cant see it

2:42 am

moonwoof

Usually a very intelligent dog too. We missed on that part, but she's also a sweetheart and very pretty.

2:42 am

herinfernallady

Hence the Cababge?

2:42 am

moonwoof

the 8 is a plural of the "blinkers" on a car.

2:43 am

moonwoof

Exactly. Very cabbage. She has a head...

2:43 am

rolin

indicators????

2:43 am

moonwoof

It's just normally found on or very close to the ground.

2:44 am

lynxxx

My husband just told me that these dogs are American, not Australian as such. I just googled it it couldn't find any sites in Australia.

2:44 am

Andree

don't think i have ever seen australian shepherd except in pictures

2:44 am

moonwoof

Or creepy guys who wear trenchcoats without anything underneath??

2:44 am

herinfernallady

Interesting

2:44 am

rolin

oooooohhhh...lol..

2:44 am

Andree

daughter has border collie with 1 brown eye and 1 blue eye

2:44 am

herinfernallady

THANKs

2:44 am

moonwoof

I wouldnt be surprised by that... but I wonder then, why they're called Aussie Shepards.

2:45 am

lynxxx

He vaguely remembers reading about an Aust Blue Heeler being taking to the States (during the Gold Rush times?)

2:45 am

moonwoof

the breeder said that if the eye is all one color of it's own, the vision is usually fine. But the multi colored single eyes are indicative of blindness.

2:46 am

moonwoof

And for her, it's definately the case. She runs into stuff on that side all the time.

2:46 am

lynxxx

and TY for the 8

2:46 am

herinfernallady

Puppy is cute

2:46 am

moonwoof

Or if you throw a ball past that eye she loses track of it at a certain point.

2:46 am

herinfernallady

Thanks for the 8

2:47 am

moonwoof

yw

2:47 am

moonwoof

Ty Lynx. That might well explain it... Heelers do have a similar splotchy thing. He's probably right.

2:47 am

Atalante

wow, that's one emo-cat, herin! saw the pandora vid on LJ :)

2:47 am

herinfernallady

OH my friend has one

2:48 am

herinfernallady

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia
n_Shepherd

2:50 am

moonwoof

When we got her I was really worried about the blindness and running into stuff, but I never thought to look the breed up per se ty lol

2:50 am

herinfernallady

She is cute

2:51 am

lynxxx

TY Infernal, that site shows it is in fact a US breed

2:52 am

herinfernallady

Wiki can be usefull at times

2:52 am

moonwoof

She is Definately not that furry, but the eyes on the middle dog are close.

2:53 am

egbokmom

pe

2:53 am

moonwoof

Hmm. I wonder if I have a picture... Now that I've looked she almost looks more like a Heeler than a shepard...

2:53 am

herinfernallady

HI Eg

2:54 am

lynxxx

Interesting, 25% of pups from 2 merles bred together will be deaf/blind

2:54 am

moonwoof

that was the sort of thing that the breeder mentioned. I couldnt remember the name for the coloring tho.

2:55 am

moonwoof

there were several things she mentioned that we should have Dianna checked for that are linked to the recessive coloring.

2:55 am

herinfernallady

But cute ?

2:58 am

moonwoof

Very cute.

2:59 am

moonwoof

Sharp as a sack of wet mice but totally adorable.

2:59 am

herinfernallady

3:07 am

moonwoof

3:09 am

moonwoof

VolleymomDee

Andree

3:31 am

Jandy

Andree... smooth... and past tense

3:32 am

VolleymomDee

I would not have thot of making that past tense; ty jandy

3:33 am

Jandy

Yw, Volley!

3:33 am

Andree

3:34 am

Andree

3:34 am

Jandy

YVW

3:34 am

Jandy

Enjoy!

3:39 am

VolleymomDee

everyone is so quiet

3:40 am

Jandy

I know... they must actually be Babbling with a capital B, rather than a lower case one!

3:40 am

VolleymomDee

LOL

3:41 am

redturtlehead

Hi All.

3:41 am

VolleymomDee

howdy

3:41 am

Jandy

Hey red! How are you?

3:42 am

redturtlehead

Fair to middling. You Jandy?

3:43 am

Jandy

Pretty good thanks... thinking my hg might be slightly up, which is exciting!

3:44 am

redturtlehead

Oh Yes! Are you feeling slightly more energetic?

3:44 am

Jandy

And how was work today and did you contain yourself in your dealings with the public!

3:44 am

Jandy

Fractionally, but I'm told it's a slow, slow process.

3:44 am

redturtlehead

I am still at work, it has been ok, I made the mistake of taking a night time cold medicine and am batting sleep...

3:45 am

Jandy

Ah, that never helps. On the other hand, there are probably lots of beds with nice clean white sheets at hand...

3:45 am

redturtlehead

Well, yes, but no sleeping. I took a nap during my Lunch break, lucky thing it isn't bad tonight.

3:46 am

Jandy

Indeed. Although I imagine a nice fullblown emergency would send enough adrenalin through you to get you going nicely. Not to wish bad for anyone...

3:47 am

redturtlehead

I'd hope so...

3:47 am

Jandy

Been back to the gyn today... was left a bit stunned

3:50 am

redturtlehead

oh no jandy... on no.

3:50 am

Jandy

Nothing too bad, just a hyst. asap. Like really asap.

3:51 am

Jandy

Cute phantom... smurf...

3:53 am

VolleymomDee

jandy did that in 1993... best thing that ever happened to me... I felt like a new woman

3:54 am

Jandy

Thanks Volley! I need to hear that at the moment. Went in and was basically told there were no options. Anaemia is shocking and I can't go on this way. So, into the fray!!

3:56 am

VolleymomDee

I went through all sorts of female problems... numerous surgeries; lap procedures; bleeding; meds; pid; endometriosis, yada yada... so by the time they said enough, I was kinda ready

3:57 am

VolleymomDee

I was pretty young, had only one child, and had wanted more, so had a brief issue with that, but having no pain, no periods, etc after... I truly did feel like a brand new lady

3:57 am

Jandy

It does all get a bit tedious, doesn't it! And I am WELL past wanting another baby, my youngest being 26 this year... can't imagine telling him he's going to have a baby brother or sister!!

3:58 am

VolleymomDee

only hints I have re surgery: ask for pain pump while in hospital because you can get up and walk faster; take oral meds like they tell you; have a pillow to put across tummy for coughing, and you will get through just fine!

3:58 am

VolleymomDee

LOL

3:58 am

Jandy

Really good practical advice, thanks. And I will remember it/

3:59 am

VolleymomDee

I even had huge incision across all muscles and still did well. Plus once anemia resolves, you will have scads of energy.

3:59 am

Jandy

Were you working, and how long did you take off work if so.

3:59 am

VolleymomDee

I was off 7 weeks, but at that time in my life worked in an office, so I did do some things at home after about 2 weeks.

4:00 am

VolleymomDee

My hubby was pretty protective at first though, so I could build my strength back up.

4:00 am

Jandy

Been reasonably anaemic for the past year but has reached crisis proportions in the past couple of weeks. Had transfusion last week and prospect of another to come. Looking forward to feeling like myself again!

4:00 am

VolleymomDee

And my office job was about a 55 hour job, so he was pretty adamant I not go back too soon.

4:01 am

Jandy

I have great family and friend support, too, which will make a huge difference. And, like you, my job is pretty demanding, including air or distance road travel every week, so I'm sure I will want that sort of time off.

4:01 am

VolleymomDee

My count was down to 8 right before my surgery... time when there was an AIDs scare with local blood supply, so they did surgery with fingers crossed that I wouldn't need blood.

4:02 am

Jandy

Yep, I'm at 7 at the moment.... feeling ordinary.

4:02 am

VolleymomDee

You definitely won't want to rush back until doc says it is okay. I didn't let them guilt me into coming back too soon. I bet you feel soo lethargic every day; I remember how tired I was.

4:02 am

Jandy

And thank goodness confidence abounds about transfused blood now.

4:03 am

VolleymomDee

so very true; whole new ball game now

4:03 am

Jandy

The trick is that it sneaks up on you... if you went to bed healthy one night and woke up feeling like this the next morning, you would rush to the doctor. But this was so incremental, it was only when I was breathless walking up a few steps that I really thought something was wrong.

4:04 am

VolleymomDee

try not to be apprehensive, I truly wouldn't have mentioned it, if I hadn't done well. Within the following couple of years several other of my friends had to have surgery, too. I totally agree with that; I had no clue just how bad it had gotten.

4:04 am

Jandy

I thought I just needed a career change, cause I was so uninspired about work! LOL!

4:05 am

VolleymomDee

some days I felt like I couldn't put one foot in front of other one or lift head from pillow

4:05 am

Jandy

Fortunately, I am in a medical job and have seen the procedure many times, for me that really helps diminish any anxiety. I've always been one of those people who needs to understand...

4:06 am

VolleymomDee

I have probs taking iron, so I had to try to eat right foods after, but that all improved so quickly after, it was amazing.

4:06 am

VolleymomDee

I have probs taking iron, so I had to try to eat right foods after, but that all improved so quickly after, it was amazing.

4:06 am

VolleymomDee

ditto that

4:06 am

VolleymomDee

oops sorry for the burp

4:06 am

Jandy

Thanks for sharing your experience. It really does help make me sure it's the right thing to do!

4:07 am

VolleymomDee

they did mine in the fall of 93... I was born in 55, so you can do the math.

4:07 am

VolleymomDee

It sure sounds like it is the right choice and that you doc has been as conscientious as mine was about not doing an unnecessary procedure.

4:08 am

Jandy

Yep, we've tried everything. All complicated by the fact that I had a DVT last year from flying, so everything hormone based is out of the running..

4:09 am

VolleymomDee

I did take hormone replacement for a few years after, then after about 7 years, found I really didn't need it anymore, so I stopped taking it. I couldn't do any of that beforehand either, but I did live on anaprox for about 2 years; great med, but eventually that didn't help.

4:10 am

Jandy

No HRT once you've had a DVT either. If I had known how much bother it was going to be, I never would have had one!

4:10 am

VolleymomDee

I had had several cysts removed every so many years, grew them like fingernails. DVT was caused by what?

4:11 am

Jandy

Just by flying. But I got mine the hard way, through many domestic flights. Didn

4:11 am

Jandy

Didn't even get to go to somewhere exotic!

4:11 am

VolleymomDee

that stinks

4:12 am

Jandy

I know... there was no upside! Grin! And now I have to inject heparin when I DO want to go somewhere exotic. Was hoping heparin was a secret diet tool, but apparently not!

4:13 am

VolleymomDee

if I hadn't been so young then, I don't think my doc would have done hrt then.

4:13 am

VolleymomDee

lol

4:13 am

pinkhatlil

morning babblers!!

4:13 am

VolleymomDee

hi pink

4:13 am

4:15 am

BabbleRabble

4:15 am

pinkhatlil

LOL babbrabb

4:16 am

VolleymomDee

4:16 am

Jandy

Excellent news for both of you! I don't know who should be the most thrilled!

4:16 am

pinkhatlil

4:17 am

VolleymomDee

4:17 am

pinkhatlil

4:17 am

VolleymomDee

4:18 am

Jandy

It's always the obvious ones that elude me, too...

4:19 am

BabbleRabble

the only ones that elude me are the ones I can't find

4:19 am

pinkhatlil

thats the one babb, i always thought you were american! Jandy she doesn't wee on the floor as i have the potty near by if she cant make it to the toilet

4:19 am

Jandy

What about the non-equine word from the bottom right F please?

4:19 am

VolleymomDee

I almost always miss half the plurals. LOL babble

4:20 am

Jandy

Good thinking pink... it's in your interest to develop the reflexes of an F1 driver at this point!

4:21 am

VolleymomDee

not through with that one yet jandy... sorry

4:21 am

Jandy

Well at least it's not super obvious then!

4:21 am

pinkhatlil

4:38 am

BabbleRabble

As you all can see, ezboard has been absorbed and trasnformed by Yuku. There was no choice for individual boards to stay with ezboard. So it is a done deal.

4:38 am

VolleymomDee

4:38 am

Jandy

ISC? with blank face. Well, blanker than usual...

4:39 am

rolin

ooohh..this is something....erm..i cant remember who told me about..scrabble in real time...i havent played much on facebook since i found it..

4:39 am

rolin

ppl set the times of games...so you have a counter counting down...and you lose points for going over the time...but 25 mins is plenty...and its great fun

4:39 am

Jandy

Will have to have a look. Use Scrabulous for email Scrabble but it is SO unreliable...

4:40 am

Jandy

With apologies to the developer, who is probably participating in this chat by another name...

4:40 am

rolin

www.isc.ro

4:40 am

Jandy

It would be kinder, and probably truer, to say you have a keen intellectual curiosity, BR!

4:43 am

rolin

BR...you could start the ...International School of Curiosity

Very first badger I ever saw was years ago. Couldn't sleep one night. Looked out the window to see a badger walking very slowly up the road.

5:03 am

P.J.

very cool!

5:05 am

P.J.

Red, how do you get your pictures from flicker to Babble? I can not make it happen.......:-)

5:07 am

P.J.

Red would you e-mail me the how-too's? (lildarlin_06@yahoo.com) please!!!!!!!!!!

5:09 am

sprite

*yawn* Good mo... errrr... afternoon all

5:09 am

redturtlehead

Well, I just got back....

5:10 am

redturtlehead

As far as the how to's, I just clicked on my account.

5:10 am

Frances

Hi sprite. How is hubby today?

5:10 am

sprite

red, I believe moonwoof had exactly the same problem as hodag. It just didn't work.

5:10 am

redturtlehead

And then you enter your fliker user name and voila, it all appeared....

5:10 am

redturtlehead

Jacula has that problem as well.

5:11 am

redturtlehead

You can email Dr G....

5:11 am

sprite

hubby is seeing the rheumatologist right now. I couldn't sleep tonight and took a pill, and overslept, haven't seen him this morning :(

5:11 am

Jacula

Morning all. I had my flickr pics linked, accidentally deleted the link (I think) and now can't get them back. I get an error message saying 'wrong username'. I've had to type a link in my bio instead.

5:11 am

P.J.

Hi sprite. I don't understand what the problem is!

5:12 am

sprite

dr God couldn't solve it either, I believe, for Jacula.

5:12 am

sprite

hi Jac! *hug*

5:12 am

redturtlehead

LOL sprite, i had a headache at work, and i took some night time cold meds. now feel very very sleepy....

5:12 am

Jacula

Dr_G said it was Flickr playing up, Flickr said it was 'a third party problem' probably and gave me another link with numbers in to try. No joy!

5:13 am

Frances

Good morning Jac.

Sprite I hope the rheumatologist can solve the problem. Is that what they think it is - not gout?

5:13 am

sprite

hehehe, poor red... though sleeping is probably best anyway if you feel like that.

5:14 am

redturtlehead

but not at work...

5:14 am

redturtlehead

I had a disappointing day in some ways. and it is affecting me, but I am starting to feel better.

5:14 am

sprite

hi Frances. They just don't know yet. They tried to get a sample of the inner joint fluids and it did not work. So now the gout specialist arranged an urgent appt with the rheumatologist. We will hear later today, I guess.

5:14 am

Jacula

Sorry to cut and run. I have to go out shortly. Just came in to add my information to the flickr debate. BBL for my final 28.

5:14 am

sprite

oops... no, not at work, red. Better be home first.

5:15 am

5:16 am

sprite

morning pink :)
And thanks red, that will help *hug*

5:17 am

pinkhatlil

hello sprite *hugs* how are you doing?

5:19 am

sprite

not able to register, pink, too worried about hubby. Just took my pain meds, I overslept after a rotten night.

5:19 am

sprite

besides, I just don't know 14 K words if there isn't an N next to the K. ;)

5:19 am

redturtlehead

Well, Sprite, I do hope you'll come back on and let me know how things went later.

5:20 am

pinkhatlil

have you got any family or friends supporting you?

5:21 am

sprite

I will for sure, red. It means so much to me that you are all so supportive.

5:21 am

Frances

How long before you expect him home sprite?

5:21 am

sprite

I have you all, pink :) And some close friends who support me as best as they can, as far as their own personal sh*t allows.

5:23 am

sprite

Frances, I have no idea. His appointment was 50 minutes ago. I don't know what kind of extra things they need to do, like Xrays, blood, urine, whatever. Also don't know if they started at the appt. time.

5:24 am

sprite

and then it is a 30 minutes' drive home.

5:24 am

Frances

Timing always seems to be a problem with medical appointments. I hope he is home soon to put you out of your agony.

5:25 am

Marmar

losr

5:25 am

sprite

he let me sleep in stead of waking me up and letting me drive him there and support him! His heart is in the right place... wish I could say the same of his common sense, grrrrrr.

5:25 am

redturtlehead

I would agree I hate going to an appointment, My hand surgeon would not see you if you were late, but he could be up to 3 hours late....

5:25 am

pinkhatlil

i just read the log. you sound tired, fed up and at the point of despair. im gonna say a prayer for you and the family, in particular your hubby {{{hugs}}}

5:25 am

sprite

hi Marmar, hun, losr to you too

5:26 am

Frances

Who you calling a loser marmar?

5:26 am

redturtlehead

Marmar!!! Have not seen you in a while, hows everything?

5:26 am

sprite

yeah, some doctors can be really arrogant jerks. But others work as hard as they can and just have emergencies in between.

5:26 am

redturtlehead

He was an excellent Surgeon, and is pretty nice, but I definitely didn't like waiting that long for a 5 min looksie.

5:27 am

sprite

pink, how on earth do you pick up on those feelings while I am still cracking some unfunny jokes? But it is true. And I am very happy with you doing that for us. *hug*

5:27 am

redturtlehead

It's officially been a year now since my poor hand surgery. Things are looking better than they were then.

5:27 am

P.J.

I give up on "flicker" I have tryed for two weeks with no luck! HUM-BUD...:-(

5:28 am

redturtlehead

Do like Jacs, put a link in your bio.

5:28 am

sprite

what did they have to do on your hand, red, if I may ask? Hand surgery can be so tricky and painful and slow in healing.

5:28 am

P.J.

that is suppose to be bug

5:28 am

bfsog

wooo 50 left for me

5:28 am

redturtlehead

I broke, at the base near the knuckles my last 2 fingers of my left hand...Had pins, and then months of hand therapy....

5:29 am

bfsog

keae

5:29 am

bfsog

oops

5:29 am

Marmar

Hi you guys! Marcus is on the grid today while I do busy work elsewhere...

5:29 am

pinkhatlil

thats what friends do and know about each other sprite, you've done the same for me on many occasions its scary. I wish i could do more!

5:29 am

sprite

bfsog, will you PLEASE just post K words that are valid! ;)

5:30 am

redturtlehead

Cool Marmar...

5:30 am

pinkhatlil

Hi Marmar!!

5:30 am

sprite

((((red)))) Tough sh*t! Glad there is some improvement. But I hear from your words that it is not yet 'good'?

5:31 am

NonoNanette

sprite do you have the k that sounds likd a soft drink

5:31 am

Marmar

Hi everyone. I may have mentioned a while back, for Lent, I am spending less time....wait, I am trying to spend less time at the computer. That's why I am not chatting as much. I certainly miss it to tell you the truth. But I keep up with everyone's well-being by watching the chat go by.

5:32 am

sprite

I do, Nanette, thanks. And a weird combo that has 2 different vowels in the middle. Still 6 missing though :(

5:32 am

sprite

*hugs Marmar* Giving things up for Lent absolutely will make you appreciate them even more. You do great.

5:33 am

redturtlehead

Sprite the hand is good. I fell on the fingers and damaged them very severly, so I am very lucky they work as well as they do. My Surgeon also did hand surgery on Venus Williams (The tennis star)...so I am very very lucky. One nice thing about slow healing is that I can not recall when my hand was more functional, I just know vaguely that it was...

5:34 am

NonoNanette

how about the word that refers to jewish foods

5:34 am

redturtlehead

Yay Marmar!!! Good on yout o be doing lent. I hoep all is well with the ironig in your house.

5:34 am

redturtlehead

TY Nannette

5:34 am

sprite

you are a good one, red. I love your spirit and your look on things. *huggggg*

5:35 am

redturtlehead

LOL... I personally feel like Charlie Brown this week, hence the icon, but, I do try to keep a better outlook.

5:36 am

redturtlehead

Doues your hubby have a cell Sprite? Can you call??

5:36 am

sprite

not in the hospital, red. It is not allowed to have them on there, they might interfere with equipment.

5:37 am

Marmar

Red, I actually ironed 12 of my husbands good shirts yesterday...took me hours...but got it done! Hope all is well with you!

5:37 am

redturtlehead

Oh, now I will be the first to say these days that is such a load of C***.

5:37 am

sprite

red, I agree! But the netherlands are slow in changing things like that.

5:38 am

redturtlehead

AWhen cells were new there was a risk that they could interfere, but now the newer ones run on a different band strenght or something, and they don't interefere, in fact mine is in my pocket now. but...in the US people also still turn off cells...

5:38 am

redturtlehead

I don't discourage it, because its hard to treat a pt when their cells keep singing the latest pop songs.

5:39 am

sprite

so very true, red. Cells are the #1 addition to complete rudeness in social life, if you ask me.

5:39 am

redturtlehead

So useful, but also sort of difficult to manage.

5:40 am

redturtlehead

but in this case, I think it would be nice if hubby could call you especially if he is waiting in a room for testing...

5:40 am

NonoNanette

our local hospital still has signs up to please not use cell phones but i overheard a tech that was trying to trace a problem with telemtry units that cell phones do not affect anything in the hospital anymore

5:40 am

BabbleRabble

I would consider a rule limiting cell phone use to a cell

5:41 am

sprite

You have my vote, BabbleRabble.

5:41 am

redturtlehead

nanette, that is true, as far as the cells from the last ten years... but limiting cell use is more peaceful for inpatients.

5:42 am

redturtlehead

BER how is your hammock?

5:42 am

redturtlehead

er BR...

5:42 am

NonoNanette

true red..... a little common sense goes a long way..... cells can be put into silent mode and you can step out in the hallway to take calls etc

5:43 am

BabbleRabble

heading there soon

5:43 am

redturtlehead

I do love having the cell though...

5:43 am

redturtlehead

I can't wait to head home myself, it has been a very disturbing day...

5:43 am

sprite

I have seen people talking on their cells while paying for their shopping in the grocery store. Like the lady behind the counter is just another machine.

5:43 am

NonoNanette

i have mine with me for emergency use and very seldom use it

5:44 am

redturtlehead

I have been guilty of that sprite. it is my only phone, no land line.

5:44 am

P.J.

cells are good but not in hospitals or when driving a car!!!

5:44 am

redturtlehead

But I always try to smile really big at the shop lady if I can not avoid it...

5:44 am

redturtlehead

Cell very bad for driving. I can not do it. i have to pull over!

5:45 am

sprite

red, there is a big difference between not being able to avoid it, or just not caring. I don't think you don't care ;)

5:45 am

BabbleRabble

kh 5.22

5:45 am

pinkhatlil

i wish others would follow suit red, i've witnessed accidents because of people yucking on their mobiles

5:46 am

pinkhatlil

*yacking*

5:46 am

redturtlehead

I actually have trouble talking and driving with another person IN the car....

5:46 am

sprite

in the netherlands, it is illegal to have a handheld cell in your hands while driving. You can only talk on your cell if you use a car kit.

5:46 am

pinkhatlil

mo5/18 please

5:46 am

Frances

******Fireworks******. May I try and help with clues?

5:47 am

P.J.

5:49 am

P.J.

5:50 am

redturtlehead

I live a very laid back life, i can not imagine why I would ever have to text whilst driving...

5:50 am

sprite

oh! I know that word, I know I know that word. The food word. Errrrrrr...

5:50 am

pinkhatlil

it should be hodag, talking on a hands free doesn't help either, it is still a distraction!

5:50 am

redturtlehead

But I guess some people are busier than I....

5:50 am

5:51 am

redturtlehead

Oooh the fl 7 is an old man in a raincoat.

5:51 am

Frances

But where would you end it pink? Will it come down to banning any conversation with a passenger in a car if talking as a distraction?

5:51 am

BabbleRabble

pl

5:51 am

sprite

hehehe red, thanks for those too

5:51 am

redturtlehead

5:52 am

5:53 am

Man, it IS good to see you again.

5:54 am

5:54 am

Are you there?

6:15 am

carleekat

its k turtle

6:15 am

carleekat

it OK I mean

6:16 am

redturtlehead

If it is GB, its usually a simple day surgical laproscopic procedure, or watch your diet until it gets bad...

6:17 am

redturtlehead

but I doubt it is that.

6:17 am

redturtlehead

What are you doing when the pain gets bad?

6:17 am

lori ann

Hi everyone...

6:17 am

carleekat

but if it is..what is it that will indicate to me that it is

6:17 am

redturtlehead

Hi lori.

6:17 am

BabbleRabble

hello, lori ann

6:18 am

carleekat

i don't know..just seems to hit mid afternoon..I will watch for it today

6:18 am

redturtlehead

Usually you get pain in the right upper area of the abdomen, and often after eating a heavy meal...

6:18 am

redturtlehead

the pain tends to go through to your back, which is why I thought of it in the first place.

6:18 am

carleekat

no..this NOT back..this is upper back...a thick tightening like a wide rubber band across upper back

6:18 am

redturtlehead

like more like the neck area upper?

6:19 am

carleekat

been NO abbdominal pain..i KNOW about that crap..( bowel resection due to HUGe abcess and an ectopic pregnancy rupture )

6:19 am

carleekat

below shoulder blades and above bottom of ribcage

6:20 am

redturtlehead

that would be where the GB pain would be, but like I said I dont think thats it, usually you'd also have nausea, and gassiness, etc...

6:20 am

carleekat

nope and nope

6:20 am

redturtlehead

If it goes on for the rest of the week, i think you maybe need to see MD...

6:21 am

carleekat

yea... what I was planning on..thanks...

6:21 am

redturtlehead

But I am curious as to what you are doing when it hits...

6:21 am

redturtlehead

:)

6:21 am

sprite

the good news is: it is gout. The specialist took a fluid sample, scoffed at the other doctor that tried for being at least a cm too low, and found gout crystals.

6:21 am

carleekat

yesterday I was doing babble

6:21 am

redturtlehead

Yay, Sprite, however, Gout is pretty painful...

6:22 am

redturtlehead

Babble can be stressful Carlee!!!

6:22 am

sprite

no rheuma!

6:22 am

carleekat

gout not fun

6:22 am

sprite

yes, we know, red. But they said it could be rheuma, and with my husband being an active outdoor man whose heart is in canoeing and camping out, that was frightening

6:23 am

redturtlehead

Gout is better than a Dx of Rheum Arthritis. for certain!!!

6:23 am

sprite

he has gotten new meds too, to take when an attack happens. Bad stuff, but effective, the specialist said.

6:24 am

sprite

and they keep him under supervision for a while, both the rheuma specialist and the gout specialist, to see what happens with the new meds.

6:25 am

sprite

and no, gout is no fun at all, carlee, I know! Extremely painful and limiting. But the prospect of my husband having rheuma was much worse.

6:25 am

My dogs think they'd like to go out because it looks so nice, then they get out and want to come right back in.

I admire your ability to make the most of the winter Scrabs!

7:39 am

jbp

well, with 84 left, I"m off to work

7:39 am

lori ann

I also admire Scrabbs. I for one HATE winter.

7:39 am

jbp

later gators

7:40 am

lori ann

bye jbp

7:40 am

Scrabbler

Rather than complain about the winter I use it for recreation.

7:40 am

DR1965

Bye JBP

7:40 am

Scrabbler

Bye jbp

7:41 am

lori ann

I wish I had your outlook Scrabbs...I am one of the greatest complainers when it comes to winter. I actually have to take medicine for depression during the winter months. I hate darkness.

7:41 am

LadyNatts

ahhh... I made it past halfway... now I can get ready for work, satisfied

7:42 am

LadyNatts

later, all... have a wonderful day!

7:42 am

lori ann

bye lady...

7:45 am

Scrabbler

I have a lightbox, Lori Ann--helps a lot, and you should be taking 2000 units of vit D each day.

7:47 am

lori ann

What does the Vit D do for you Scrabbs???

7:47 am

pk

can you get vitamin D in something other than a pill Scrabs?

7:48 am

lori ann

How about b-12 shots??? My dr. just gave me one last week.

7:48 am

Scrabbler

It is the "sunshine" vitamin. People living in the northern latitudes get deficient for much of the year. The easiest way to get a lot is to take Vit D3. Vit D is added milk. Or cod liver oil!

7:49 am

Scrabbler

There has been much focus on vit D in the last several years, regarding depression, cancer, MS. It is a superstar vitamin!

7:50 am

Scrabbler

B12 supplements are needed for people that cannot absorb it---pernicious anemia. Do you have that problem, LA?

7:50 am

lori ann

I will try it Scrabbs...thank you!! did you say vitamin d3?

7:50 am

Scrabbler

A great and reputable resource: Dr Andrew Weil. I don't buy his products but he has valid info.

7:51 am

Scrabbler

Yes, vit D3--cholecalciferol. I buy 1000 U tabs and take 2 daily. My friend with brain cancer is getting 10, 000 U /day as vit D is an antioxidant.

7:52 am

lori ann

No ...I do not have anemia I just have had NO energy whatsoever!!! I count the hours till I can go back to bed!!!

7:53 am

Scrabbler

Then a lightbox and vit D3 are the solutions for you! You will see dramatic improvements, LA.

7:53 am

pabtrek

hello everyone, cold here today, 5 degrees F.

7:53 am

lori ann

Hello...pabtrek

7:53 am

Scrabbler

Yes, 9 here, pabtrek---Lake Erie is keeping us warmer than you.

7:53 am

lori ann

Thanks...Scrabbs....I will let you know how it works.

7:55 am

pabtrek

true Scrabble, but you get tons more snow, so it's a good trade off

7:55 am

pk

I have the lightbox too Scrabbs. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But on a sunny day, no matter how cold, just get your face i the sun Lori Ann. I find that works better than the lightbox.

7:55 am

pabtrek

*Scrabbler

7:55 am

Atalante

or get a dog, lori. when you have to walk the dog every day, you force yourself out into the sunshine. its done me the world of good

7:56 am

lori ann

Thanks, pk I do try to get outside as much as possible. I hate the cold but thrive on sunshine.

7:56 am

Scrabbler

I must get ready to leave--bye everyone. Enjoy the day!

7:56 am

AsGreen

morning everyone

7:57 am

lori ann

LOL..Atalante I have 2 dogs and I just open the door and let them out. We live in the country the world of the AMISH!!!

7:57 am

AsGreen

I mean, GOOD morning everyone!

7:57 am

pk

My neighbors think I'm crazy. I go out all bundled up -- coats, blankets -- and sit in the driveway with my face toward the sun.

7:57 am

pk

bye Scrabbs - stay warm!

7:57 am

lori ann

I would'nt have to worry about neighbors pk!!! LOL

7:58 am

lori ann

bye Scrabbs and thanks for the advice.

7:58 am

Atalante

don't just let them out! go play with them!!

7:59 am

lori ann

I guess you got me there atalante....I think they would enjoy this also. We walk all the time through the woods in the spring and summer and fall. I guess I just need to brave the WINTER!!!

7:59 am

AsGreen

hello? I must be buried in your chats - surely someone meant to greet me! :)

7:59 am

Atalante

I spent 2 hours hiking around the fields with Hobbit this morning. It was *so* nice. Just to be out by the sea.

8:00 am

Atalante

yes, do, lori. I mutter and swear about going out with hobbit in the winter and delay and refuse and always feel so much better when I've actually got my ass outside for 10 minutes. After a short while you forget about the grumbling and just enjoy whatever's out there

8:00 am

lori ann

You are so lucky to live by the sea Atalante!!! My favorite place in the world is anywhere near the ocean. I just love the sounds of the waves.

8:00 am

Atalante

HI ASG!

8:01 am

AsGreen

ahhhh, there we go.... hello there ata!! :)

8:01 am

lori ann

HI ASG....was absorbed in my own world here!!!

8:01 am

AsGreen

hi lori ann! ***feeling better

8:02 am

Atalante

mine too, lori. I simply refuse to live anywhere away from the sea. I mope.

8:02 am

lori ann

Well....I hate to leave but I must get ready for work. Thanks for all the wonderful advice and conversation.

8:03 am

AsGreen

HELLO JUDI

Hi all. I'm back from shopping.:)

YAY Jacula!

9:07 am

Jacula

Sorry to add to all the noise, Judi. :D

9:08 am

pabtrek

hi Jacula

9:09 am

Judi

S'okay. Leo, the installer, is not wearing earplugs. I think he should be. He's also not wearing safey goggles. I'm in the upstairs room, so I can't see him. His boss should be here shortly though.

9:09 am

Jacula

Well, it's his choice I guess.

9:10 am

nancethefan

what is he installing?

9:10 am

Judi

Oops. Forgot the air compressor for the air gun. Lots of noise for a small job. I'm sure the end result will be faaaabulous though.

9:11 am

Jacula

Hardwood flooring, nance.

9:11 am

arwennn

lol. I keep seeing "muffler"

9:11 am

nancethefan

o i know that will look nice

9:11 am

nancethefan

9:11 am

Judi

Now he's singing.... in Spanish.

9:11 am

nancethefan

LOL

9:11 am

Jacula

LOL, Judi.

9:12 am

Judi

Singing LOUDLY, of course - so he can hear himself over the noise. lol.

9:12 am

Jacula

I love flamenco music but hate the caterwauling that passes for 'singing' that goes with it.:(

9:13 am

Judi

All together now... "what are the words to LaBamba"....

9:13 am

Jacula

You'll have to make a video for us, Judi. (With sound.)

9:13 am

nancethefan

i hope no crack is visible - lol

9:13 am

Jacula

@Para bailar La Bamba,
Para bailar La Bamba, Se necesita una poca de gracia,
Una poca de gracia, pa' mi, pa' ti y
Arriba, arriba.. y arriba, arriba
Por ti sere por ti sere por ti sere.
Yo no soy marinero Yo no soy marinero
Soy capitan soy capitan soy capitan
Ba Ba Bamba
Ba Ba Bamba
Ba Ba Bamba'

9:14 am

Jacula

Now we can all sing!:D

9:14 am

Judi

Gracias, Jacula!

9:14 am

9:15 am

Merk

I came at just the right time ... peppy start to my babbling, Jacula. Gracias

9:15 am

Jacula

That'd be 'carpenters' crack', a cousin of 'builders bum', would it, nance.

9:15 am

Judi

I don't think La Bamba was ever supposed to make sense. It's like the Spanish version of "Wooly Booly"

9:16 am

nancethefan

lol & hey cad & merk

9:16 am

nancethefan

it's not? lol

9:16 am

nancethefan

9:16 am

nancethefan

lol judi

9:17 am

Jacula

La Bamba in English: 'In order to dance La Bamba,
In order to dance La Bamba, you need a little grace
A little grace for me, for you
and up up, and up up
I'll be there for you,I'll be there for you,I'll be there for you
I am not a sailor, I am not a sailor
I am a captain ,I am a captain'

9:17 am

Judi

Like I said, it doesn't make sense in any language.

9:17 am

Jacula

Sounds better in Spanish!

9:19 am

nancethefan

darn - is that all that song means? lol

9:21 am

Jacula

I'd better go and put my shopping away. Have fun, you lot.

It was early in the class - we thought it was about getting into a place to dance and they guy was saying I don't have more money! LOL

Have you ladies ever had a period of time, a day or more, of doing productive things, but seemingly detached from what you are doing... sort of half-plugged in, but not exactly depressed?

10:50 am

That may be more true, Owl... on the cusp of good weather, champing at the bit to go garden... watcing the annual mirace of flowers... birds, more sun... something... can't grasp the off-centeredness of this feeling...

10:56 am

Scarlet

I'd pay to see that, Owl.

10:56 am

10:57 am

Haz1558

Just blame it on FM.

10:57 am

Scarlet

No particular focus, Haz. Out of it, with no physical, underlying cause... detached would be the best way to describe it.

10:57 am

lol bfsog...or maybe you'll get one because of your dry humour

10:57 am

I have a surplus of energy... unaided by too much caffiene or anything else... I feel like a loving shadow lately... cannot be whole... it's a very odd, detached sense...

11:00 am

Haz1558

And have you ever felt like this before?

11:00 am

Scarlet

I shall, Owl... maybe I just need the healing powers of sunshine and flowers...

11:00 am

I am absolutely no expert, Scarlet. My advice would be to give yourself some time - and sunshine, but if that doesn't resolve things, then visit your doctor, even for a general discussion.

11:04 am

Haz1558

You had a lot of worry last year with family illnesses etc. Perhaps your mind is coming to terms with that?

11:04 am

11:04 am

Scarlet

I have never, ever, used the word "bored"... in fact, my children were never permitted to use that word... it just is not the case... I have a surplus of stimulation both mentally and spiritually... this is just so darned odd. Well done, peri!

11:04 am

Haz1558

Congratulations peri!

11:04 am

Congrats Peri !

11:04 am

72 Temple Owl

nice job, peri!

11:05 am

periwinkle

thank you

11:05 am

periwinkle

worried about beloved, Scarlet?

11:05 am

Scarlet

That may be key, Haz... something which I had not considered... My family has always called me the general... this may be boomerang reality.

11:05 am

sadie52

congrats peri

11:05 am

periwinkle

maybe you need time alone, Scarlet, to reflect on your life, etc

11:05 am

Scarlet

Of course, peri... I do worry about my husband, but this is not centered in that direction.

11:07 am

Scarlet

I am an urban hermit, peri... we both are, and it is a perfect union in that respect... I don't overload my plate with too much social interaction... we both truly crave our solitude.

11:07 am

Haz1558

I think you can be strong for a long time, but eventually, whether you like it or not, your mind or body just wants to call a halt. Perhaps this is one of those times.

11:07 am

periwinkle

I am going to read for a while, bbl. Scarlet, will write.

11:07 am

72 Temple Owl

scar, don't let it go one too long without seeking expert counsel, please.

11:07 am

72 Temple Owl

tips

11:07 am

Scarlet

It may well be, Haz. Owl, that is in the forefront of my mind... personality changes are key to something, unknown right now.

11:07 am

Scarlet

Thank you, peri.

my cat is too cute.. she started scratching the couch.. but I would yell at her each time I saw her.. now she scratches at it the couch but uses no nails lol

11:09 am

Lovely thought, Owl... I wish I could hug you all.

11:10 am

Scarlet

carra... aren't cats the greatest mystery animals?

hello all. just got here. Red, i'm sending you a big hug!!! I went home from work yesterday in tears - many diff things just piled up and i couldn't take it anymore. I do take antidepressants.

11:11 am

Scarlet

LOL, Haz. YOu are such a sweetheart, deb. Thank you... awww... how are you today?

11:11 am

Haz1558

Hello debjed.

11:12 am

72 Temple Owl

wee need a socail director....perhaps a big babble cruise would help us all with mid life doldrums

11:13 am

debjed

I'm better. I just go through episodes were I can't stop crying. But, I have a great support system and all of my cats were with me yesterday when i crawled in bed for about 12 hours:)

11:13 am

Haz1558

Well, can we select which part of the ship we're on?

11:13 am

lynxxx

Hi Debs, not good to hear but tears are always a good relief

11:13 am

Scarlet

I needed them long ago, but this does not feel like depression... it's more like: did a chupacabra take over my body when I wasn't looking? I am scared to witlessness in the water, Owl... but you can hide me in the center of the ship, so I don't have to see the ocean... LOL

11:14 am

72 Temple Owl

of course, haz....

11:14 am

Scarlet

I cry over music, over tender moments, over madmen shooting up a school, but rarely over persoal moments...

11:14 am

Haz1558

Scarlet, I refuse to believe that you've been taken over by anything so ugly. I thought warthogs were bad.....

11:15 am

Haz1558

That's a relief, TO!

11:15 am

Scarlet

LOL... now THAT is funny!

11:15 am

72 Temple Owl

what is a chupacabra and did it steal all of the "O" words in my grid? I cannot find any!

11:16 am

Scarlet

LOL... bet they did, Owl

11:16 am

debjed

I can't find O's either TO:)

11:16 am

Haz1558

I just googled it, TO and it brings up some images.

11:16 am

Scarlet

Think of the tile covering for kitchen floors, Owl... and the dope that certain Chinese railroad workers favored...

11:20 am

I'm so glad dc understands my drugs references. I accused him last week of taking drugs and hanging out with mad women.

No, TO, not yet.

Hi Sprite! how are you? how is yr husband - the blood test results show anything?

11:54 am

dcseain

hi, sprite!! :D

11:54 am

darthdude

Heya Sprite

11:55 am

sprite

hi lynxxx! The rheuma specialist took a sample of the fluid in the toe joint today and he found gout crystals. He ruled out rheumatism completely, he said. It is gout, and so we fe4 it is the better of the 2 bads. We are very relieved. My husband has gotten new meds now, they should work better.

11:55 am

sprite

hey dc :) *HUG*
And hi darth

11:55 am

dcseain

oh, so glad to hear, sprite!

11:56 am

sprite

yeah, may sound weird to be happy with gout as a diagnosis, but we were really afraid it was rheumatism. My husband is an outdoor man, he loves canoeing and camping out. So that would really have been worse.

11:56 am

lynxxx

Oh good! I realise gout can be agony but at least it comes & goes. A lot of it is food related (esp seafood/crustaceans), are they looking at his diet too?

11:57 am

dcseain

ko 6/7, pls?

11:58 am

sprite

actually, they say that the food related part is highly exaggerated, lynxxx. They claim it is about 5% that is influenced by food. I am not so sure myself, and we have been looking into it for a while, trying to see which triggers there are.

11:58 am

lynxxx

Dietary laws DC

11:58 am

praise2him

sprite my brother has gout

11:58 am

dcseain

i know one person whose gout flares up if he eats too many carbs/drinks too much beer

11:58 am

sprite

dc: Jewish food that is strictly according the rules

11:58 am

praise2him

and food definitely triggers his

11:59 am

dcseain

ty, sprite, i didn't look that way

11:59 am

lynxxx

Sprite - did you hear MRP is back in hospital. Would seem all those months last year were too no avail

11:59 am

sprite

yes, I really fe4 the specialists are wrong about this. But it is kinda hard to stimulate my husband to watch his beer/food intake if they say it doesn't matter much. But I think it does make a difference.

12:00 pm

sprite

no lynxxx, did not hear that. That is terrible. What happened?

12:00 pm

dcseain

the infection pain flared up again, sprite

12:00 pm

sprite

omg I am so sorry for her and for lickety. Just what they don't need.

12:02 pm

dcseain

at least they don't live in the States, so it won't bankrupt them.

that is really sad news, guys

12:03 pm

dcseain

yes, two or three days ago she wont back in hospital

12:04 pm

sprite

wont? won't or went?

12:04 pm

dcseain

went, not wont :)

12:05 pm

sprite

pardon my french, but that sucks.

12:06 pm

dcseain

my mom got reprimanded at work once for using that word, which she had learned from the kids. Knowing what i could repeat when i started school, and the fact thit i knew wthat whoremaster was at 9 speaks to how mild an invective that was coming from her. LOL

12:07 pm

lynxxx

mmm, yes I agree. Lickety said they would be trying the antibiotic route - again I think although maybe its was just discussed last year

12:08 pm

sprite

just dropped him an email... this is all terribly hard on him as well.

12:09 pm

dcseain

yes sprite, she hid it from him. he learned at 11PM on Monday when an ambulance showed up to take her.

12:09 pm

lynxxx

I was such an innocent, at 18 I remember finding out that a WARmaster was actually a whoremaster. Suddenly the conversation made much more sense.

12:09 pm

sprite

that is not very wise.

12:10 pm

lynxxx

Oh no DC! what a way to find out

12:10 pm

dcseain

he said she was being brave, but i agree with you, sprite

12:12 pm

sprite

yeah... well, worse mistakes have been made out of good intentions. I think communication is a basic thing in emergencies (or whenever, actually). But it is hard.

12:12 pm

dcseain

indeed, sprite, i concur

12:14 pm

sprite

and lol, lynxxx, that is so funny!

12:15 pm

dcseain

that's amazing lynxxx, that you went that long :D

12:21 pm

sprite

did the chat freeze or are we all too sad to chat?

12:22 pm

dcseain

the National Mall is lined with el4, cloned from one in front of the Castle, which was resistant to Dutch el* disease

12:22 pm

dcseain

i was seeking my last HEs, sprite, which took all my focus :)

12:23 pm

funny how the word Dutch always seems to be related to bad things

12:23 pm

dcseain

Double Dutch is a good thing

12:23 pm

I just got some more coffee, back now

12:23 pm

dutch el* disease, a dutch oven, going dutch...

No wonder you don't like the k's sprite. I have just finished them, and out of the 14, I have only heard of two words and their plurals

Hi ExWren

12:24 pm

lynxxx

and Ata!

12:25 pm

Atalante

and hi!

12:25 pm

dcseain

dutch oven is useful, and Dutch has many more positive associations in English than does Welsh

12:25 pm

dcseain

howdy, ata!

12:25 pm

sprite

hi ExWren, they drove me mad today. Luckily some dear babblers were nice enough to clue me some, or I would never have found them.

12:25 pm

sprite

what is Dutch courage?

12:25 pm

dcseain

exwren, i knew the nut and the verb of the Ks, the rest were new to me, too.

12:25 pm

sprite

well, I heard the dutch oven is when you let one fly and then pull the covers over your partner's nose.

12:25 pm

ExWren

thank goodness for 'more words'

12:26 pm

Atalante

dutch courage is the extra bravado you get from having had an alcoholic drink

12:26 pm

dcseain

indeed, exwren

12:26 pm

sprite

ah... not too positive either then.

12:26 pm

Atalante

it can be!

12:26 pm

dcseain

here in North America, a Duch Oven is a cast-iron pan with a lid for baking

12:26 pm

sprite

and hi Ata :)

12:27 pm

dcseain

usually with a capacity of 3-10L

12:27 pm

sprite

dc, is that the same as a slowcooking pan?

12:27 pm

lynxxx

lol, and we explained to Sprite the other day what the other dutch oven was

12:27 pm

sprite

lol lynxxx, that is the one I remembered!

12:28 pm

dcseain

er, i suppose so, sprite, not having ever heard of a slow-cooking pan.

12:28 pm

dcseain

i use my larger dutch oven for making shepherd's pie, though i don't use the lid in that case.

12:29 pm

hjule

make apple dump cake in my dutch oven..yum

12:29 pm

sprite

my kids ALWAYS seem to fight when they do the dishes. I just told them I have had it and they have to solve this fight themselves (they are 10 and almost 12). Am I too harsh?

12:30 pm

sprite

awwww apple dump cake... now I start fe4ing hungry again!

12:30 pm

dcseain

no, they need to learn to cooperate, sprite, and forcing them to do so is a way to help them learn

12:30 pm

hjule

i have mine each take a night now..not as much fighting

12:30 pm

sprite

good idea, hjule.
And thanks, dc. Was wondering for a second.

12:30 pm

dcseain

what is apple dump cake? other than a cake with apples.

12:31 pm

danf63

as long as there are no weapons involved in their "solving" the problem, 10 and 12 is the right age for them to work it out amongst themselves in my book sprite!

12:31 pm

sprite

thanks danf! No weapons allowed :)

12:31 pm

hjule

apples, dry cake mix and some butter on top

12:32 pm

hjule

great dessert on camp outs

12:32 pm

dcseain

huh, sounds easy, and delicious, add some cream, and yum

12:32 pm

danf63

I have made darth figure out how to get along with his cousins for a while now, and MOST of the time it works...ie no blood or visible bruising ;-)

12:32 pm

sprite

simple and delicious!

12:32 pm

sprite

*giggles* Good enough for me, danf :D

12:34 pm

ExWren

Am I the only one who wonders about the mysterious babbler 'Michelle'? She is always among the top scorers, (just slipped 7 points at the moment), she has the second highest total score, near the top or 'cream of the crop' but she never on chatterbox

12:35 pm

Atalante

I can't remember the last time I looked at the rankings!

12:35 pm

dcseain

obviously, she plays regularly, but is not a chatter.

12:35 pm

dcseain

i noticed her there last week

12:35 pm

Anniebrook

hello everyone! I never look at the rankings..

12:36 pm

sprite

not all players chat, she is clearly a regular, just not a chatter.

12:36 pm

danf63

I only look at the rankings to see how i compare to DR1965...

12:36 pm

dcseain

hi, annie, how are you?

12:36 pm

ExWren

It would be nice to meet her though

12:36 pm

sprite

hardly ever check the rankings... they don't change much, do they ;)

12:37 pm

hjule

ratings? there are rating? no i am depressed.....

12:37 pm

Anniebrook

hi dc, would like to say fine but I fell on Tuesday and I am all purple on my face, just came home from a cat scan...the doctor thinks I fractured my cheek

12:37 pm

dcseain

oh, dear, annie

12:38 pm

Anniebrook

I am ready for Halloween

12:38 pm

dcseain

what does that mean in terms of talking/eating/healing?

12:38 pm

sprite

darn Annie, I am so sorry! :(
will send many healing vibes and good thoughts and prayers your way. Hope you will heal up fast and without much pain.

12:38 pm

dcseain

lol annie

12:38 pm

dcseain

glad that you're mostly okay.

12:38 pm

sprite

*sends hjule a sweet smiley* :-)

12:38 pm

danf63

hjule, you should only be depressed if you look at them...and sometimes i have been surprised. People I thought would be WAY ahead of me are almost within reach

12:39 pm

Anniebrook

thanks, sprite and dc, just soreness and lovely colors

12:39 pm

hjule

i just looked, very sad for me...lol not really that worried about them just being sarcastic

12:40 pm

sprite

as long as they don't rank us in order of having the best fun or being most helpful, I am not interested ;)
Well, don't think I would be even then.

12:40 pm

lynxxx

oh AnnieB, you have been in the wars! Scarlet was asking after you earlier, was most concerned

12:40 pm

dcseain

i hope the fracture heals well. May make for an interesting skull for some futer archeologist

12:40 pm

sprite

tsk dc, I think Annie would be happy not to be interesting in this way, lol.

12:40 pm

carleekat

its ONLY showing up on a blog so far on net

1:30 pm

Ankhorite

Okay, I'm back for one second. It's a strip of storefronts, not a proper shopping mall, which will keep injuries down. Looks to me like a gas leak in one shop blew up the back of that shop and the back of the shop next to it and now I REALLY have to go go go, company coming, must go!! ::: races back out the door :::

1:30 pm

carleekat

byebye ankh thanks

1:31 pm

Uniquity

That was a crazy show, hallf the middle is gone. Certainly looks rather focussed. I was thinking a shopping mall as well! Strip mall ought to limit the number of injuries

1:31 pm

Uniquity

**shot, not show.

1:32 pm

carleekat

it does look odd doesn't it?

1:32 pm

carleekat

checking cake

1:32 pm

Uniquity

I think the roast sounds better than the cake for em today! Lol

1:34 pm

carleekat

its a confetti cake..froma mix ( shhh..don't tell red )... and I make the icing just by taking coloured sprinkles and mixing into cool whip..letting sit for a couple hours and u get confetti icing

1:34 pm

Uniquity

I am not much for cake mixes, but it sounds good!

1:35 pm

carleekat

its "cheerful " loking...and angel food cakes are no fat ;)

2:02 pm

2:03 pm

it is a fun grid!

2:03 pm

sprite

and you can always msn me :P

2:03 pm

sprite

ohhhh Ata, btw... I DRAW today! I did! And it looks like something even!

2:03 pm

Atalante

that is true!!!

2:04 pm

sprite

I drew a gremlin, from an example

2:04 pm

Atalante

ooooooooooo!!!!!

2:04 pm

Atalante

go you!!!!

2:05 pm

sprite

am SO proud, lol. will try and make a pic when it is finished, and show you!

2:05 pm

Atalante

oh yes!

2:05 pm

Atalante

what inspired you to draw a gremlin?

2:06 pm

sprite

all the failing stuff in my home and life?

2:06 pm

Atalante

ohhh!

2:06 pm

sprite

must have someone to blame, grin

2:07 pm

Atalante

thats what FM is for

2:07 pm

praise2him

down to 9 here

2:07 pm

sprite

how could I forget, LOL. But FM is much cuter than my gremlin. He is really evil, but sweet still.

2:08 pm

sprite

wtg praise, go girrrrrl!

2:08 pm

praise2him

ty sprite

2:08 pm

Atalante

sounds exactly like FM!

2:09 pm

sprite

LOLLLLLLLL well, I will send you the pic later and you can decide if that is true!

2:10 pm

Atalante

:D:D

2:10 pm

Atalante

can't I see words today?

2:10 pm

sprite

and it is addictive, Ata. I want to go downstairs and draw, in stead of computing. That is sooo weird.

2:10 pm

sprite

sure you can, Ata. You already have. Lots of words! Just not the right babble ones.

2:11 pm

Atalante

put a sketchpad by your computer ;)

2:11 pm

Atalante

thats how I get through the day!

2:11 pm

sprite

good idea, I might. Though I have never seen myself as someone able to draw at all. Always wanted to be, though.

2:12 pm

Atalante

everyone can draw

2:12 pm

Atalante

everyone can draw

2:12 pm

Atalante

you just need to find your style and your confidence

2:12 pm

sprite

believe me, Ata, only people who can draw very well say that.

2:13 pm

Atalante

looooooool

2:13 pm

Atalante

its true though!

2:14 pm

Atalante

you don't need to do a perfect person or a perfect landscape. just play with colours, or draw what you see, or draw shapes or join the dots

2:14 pm

sprite

I would be very happy if I could learn to draw fantasy things. Just for fun. But I am happy with my gremlin, even if it is the only thing that will work out ever.

2:14 pm

Atalante

then one day you sit down and draw something like that in my pic :P

2:15 pm

arwennn

anyone here from the uk?

2:15 pm

sprite

OH!!!!!!! That is a beautiful unicorn mandala!!!!!

2:15 pm

Atalante

2:16 pm

i was just wondering my fiancee and i are seriously considering immigrating to the uk (we live in the US) and are wondering how difficult that would be

2:18 pm

Atalante

if you have a good chance of getting employment, you shouldn't have too many problems

2:18 pm

sprite

Ata, my gremlin is from one of those books, I think.

2:18 pm

2:19 pm

Atalante

2:19 pm

arwennn

what about someone who is self-employed?

2:20 pm

Atalante

2:20 pm

arwennn

okie doke

2:20 pm

2:50 pm

stidmama

thanks gwen. been wearing it a couple weeks now. It's a lot prettier than some!

2:50 pm

KatieMcG

Hi nance

2:57 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

interesting bonus vid today. hmmmm

2:59 pm

Jellen

Yay, Gwen!!!

2:59 pm

stidmama

are english miles longer than U.S. miles? *runs off to look*

3:00 pm

nancethefan

no - aren't they meters?

3:00 pm

nancethefan

i would guess a mile is a mile & a meter is a meter huh?

3:00 pm

stidmama

apparently not any more... :-D the "old" english mile was about 1.3 of the modern mile

3:00 pm

KatieMcG

Same miles stid, I have a training course with work. Need to be there at 9.15 so have to leave the house by 7 am

3:00 pm

Atalante

our miles are the same as yours!

3:01 pm

KatieMcG

I always thought so nance

3:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

in the US we use miles and we call it the English system but they are not English miles. that would make too much sense!!

3:01 pm

nancethefan

do y'all use miles?

3:01 pm

stidmama

I will hope for good weather (but the sun not in your eyes) and light traffic then, katie

3:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

in fact, look at the film and video industry. film, invented in the 1800s, comes in millimeters, and videotape, invented in the 1900s, comes in inches. it's BACKWARD! lol

3:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

our miles are 5,820 feet long. does that help?

3:04 pm

stidmama

measurements are interesting... apparently the temperature scale we use today wasn't invented until glass-blowing reached the point at which a tube with a consistent diameter was possible. And then, some genius decided that boiling water would be set at zero, and freezing at 100! ???? (thank you Nova for many sleepless nights) LOL

3:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

and our feet are very small. 9 and a half here. Heh heh

3:04 pm

nancethefan

lol mama

3:05 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

which scale has boiling water at zero?

3:05 pm

stidmama

you sure that's not 5280? *grin* and how many yards? (which I am told in another context what we call yards you call gardens.... --- just to further confuse us all)

3:05 pm

stidmama

some old scale, gwen, not used in a couple hundred years.

3:06 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hmmm, prolly 5,280, not the other. i can't even remember this stuff and i live here

3:06 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

one yard is 3 feet. that is consistent at least

3:06 pm

stidmama

AND they used to think that "hot" and "cold" were actual material qualities, not simply temperatures as we think of them.

3:07 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

do you know why men are better at reading maps than women?

3:07 pm

stidmama

but of course gwen, your feet are bigger than my feet... so where's the consistency? *looking at size 6 EEEE feet*

3:07 pm

nancethefan

i don't know that they r

3:07 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(it's a joke, dears)

3:07 pm

nancethefan

lol

3:07 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

men are better at reading maps than women because . . .

3:07 pm

stidmama

um. men are better at reading maps? because they have more practice getting lost????

3:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

. . . because only a man can conceive of one inch equalling 100 miles

3:08 pm

nancethefan

lol - my husband always gets lost

3:44 pm

herinfernallady

3:44 pm

lil*monkey

who me?

3:44 pm

lilliann

a tombola is where you have prizes and then you put raffle tickets(numbered tickets) on them, they either have a 0 or 5 or they could have both on the end of each ticket on the prize and then you put tickets in a bag or box and if people pull the ticket out with a 0 or 5 they win the prize with that number

3:44 pm

herinfernallady

Nance Hello and welcome. I go by Herin

4:08 pm

herinfernallady

4:27 pm

KatieMcG

I keep forgetting how georgous Stuart Little is. I'm not a dog person and would happily take him home

4:27 pm

mrpresident

lynxx, it was really quite embarrassing, I rang the hospital at midnight and said, "I don't know what I need, I don't know what to do, I just don't want to do this anymore".... well, they sent an ambulance out straight away and had me assessed for suicide watch! Of course, that never came to be after the staff talked to me, they just understood I was emotionally and physically exhausted, but still, embarrassing

4:28 pm

lynxxx

Monkey - Melbourne is the capital city of the state of Victoria...neither of us are actually in melbourne but live in suburbs of that City

4:28 pm

KatieMcG

Oh MrP, at least you know that if someone was that desperate they would help straight away

lynxxx

MRP I think that is an excellent response from them. Obviously if you were ringing at that time of night you were desperate and needed help quickly. Let them think you might have been suicidal, who cares, you got the help you needed.

4:32 pm

KatieMcG

Tear in eye that MrP & Lickety are both on chatting at the same time, hormones obviously going as well as mind

7:03 pm

Nef

Hello Babblers; this grid looks a bit tricky. Is it?

7:03 pm

jillibus

yes, gramma, but she had her reasons, all to do with worries about where she and my mother and family were born. That was in Germany (of Australian parents) and they were all British subjects at that time. But when WW1 broke out they went to the USA but were considered German because they were born there and were not welcome. US immigration at that tiem (and later too) considered that if a cat had kittens in the oven they were cookies. So she was afraid to cross the border to Canada in case of hassles in returning.

7:03 pm

gramma

I mean the Grandma juice. Medicinal purposes only

7:04 pm

lil*monkey

ThanksnDan! I tried that before and it wouldn't go!

8:08 pm

Jac, long hot soaks in baths only dry out my skin and make me itch. The hot tub or a swim are both okay, the soaps just don't fe4/7 good to me

8:16 pm

Jandy

Dear me, and I was whining about having a cooler day with a maximum under 20C!

8:17 pm

Jacula

We had a 5. something earthquake here in UK the other night, and I was first to report it on here, though Carlee in Canada confirmed it for me. There have been lots of cartoons featuring typically messy teenagers' rooms with the caption, 'I'd just tidied up when there was this HUGE earth tremor!'

8:17 pm

Nef

I was very sick, just got back to work yesterday after 6 weeks off (septicemia and pyelonephritis, if you wanna know)

8:17 pm

lbdawger

ahh, Jandy! 20C would be nice.

8:18 pm

lbdawger

ewwww! hope going back to work means you are well again.

8:18 pm

Jandy

First autumn weather for us... after a very mild summer. But we've had some decent rain for the first time in four or five years, so it's all good!

8:18 pm

Nef

yes it does, finally. I was brainless during that time .

8:19 pm

lbdawger

Jac, I heard about the trembler! glad to hear you are okay.

8:19 pm

Jandy

Oh Nef... that's really sick!

8:19 pm

lbdawger

(((NEF)))

8:19 pm

Nef

Does the UK get many quakes?

8:20 pm

Jandy

Jac - I can just imagine all these men saying they'd made the earth move for their women...

8:20 pm

Jacula

Ouch nef? How did you get both blood poisoning and a kidney/urinary tract infection?

8:20 pm

Nef

Thanks (seems I don't know how to do minor illnesses/injuries anymore

8:21 pm

Jacula

Jandy - YUP! My man slept through it. The earth only moved for him when I got into bed and shoved him bodily over off my side of the bed, so he told me. LOL

8:22 pm

Nef

I didn't know I was sick; thought I was hurting from an exercise program (no symptoms of urinary problems til the severe pain hit

8:22 pm

Jandy

Grin. Night before last, the dog was snoring, the husband was alternately snoring and groaning and waving one arm in the air (as he does when stressed). Couldn't wake either of them up, so gave up and slept on the couch for the night!

8:22 pm

lori ann

hi all...any help with the fe 5,20

8:23 pm

Nef

LOL! Sounds like you need earplugs, Jandy!

8:23 pm

Nef

clued at 8:13, lori

8:23 pm

Jandy

Indeed, Nef. And, like you, I just had a sickness which crept up on me till really serious, and am supposed to be getting lots of rest!

8:24 pm

Jandy

Husband appeared at 6.30am and said "oh, are you watching TV?"

8:24 pm

lbdawger

spare bedroom is a good alternative, jandy

8:25 pm

Nef

sometimes the only way to rest is to give up the bed and go elsewhere to sleep, isn't it?

8:25 pm

Jacula

I very rarely give up my bed for anyone. I generally resort to prodding, thumping, sighing loudly and bouncing the mattress etc., in the face of snoring, bubbling, tooth grinding, talking, sighing, arm waving, elbow crashing, knee-jerking and all that other stuff that people do in their sleep.

8:25 pm

Jandy

True, though our couch is very comfortable and I find TVSN strangely hypnotic and very good for lulling me to sleep...

8:25 pm

Jacula

Ear plugs are a Godsend but don't always work as well as threats and violence.;-)

8:26 pm

lbdawger

I had to tape record my hubby, to prove he snored louder than the dogs.

8:26 pm

Jandy

Well, I thought I had them both well trained, Jac. Usually their name, spoken in that particular, ear-piercing tone of voice, will do it for man or dog to shut up...

8:27 pm

Jandy

LOL, lbd... I thought it was just our dog! He hangs his head over the edge of his bed and snores like an overweight man who's been on a bender!

8:27 pm

Nef

My hubby swears that my elbows are lethel weapons

8:27 pm

lori ann

thanks nef

8:28 pm

Nef

yw, lori. glad you found it

8:28 pm

pythonx

Hi all. Have to comment on the snoring.

8:28 pm

Jandy

It's a topic close to our hearts, pythonx

8:28 pm

pythonx

My hubby, after 10 years of me nagging, finally saw a Dr. and was diagnosed with sleep apnea.

8:28 pm

lbdawger

both dogs would leave disgruntled when hubby's snoring went into full throttle.

8:28 pm

ms_gilly

lol,I snored so loudly one night,I woke myself up in a fright

8:29 pm

Jacula

My apparently 'freezing cold bum' usually does the trick. If that doesn't work I follow up with my 'bricks of ice feet', then come the sharp elbows and 'that tone of voice'... after that, I turn into a TV show baddie...

8:29 pm

Jandy

Do you think dogs can get sleep apnea? And where would I find a mask that shape?

8:29 pm

lbdawger

lol, gilly

8:29 pm

ms_gilly

lol jac,you sound just like me

8:29 pm

Jacula

gilly - I've often woken myself up snoring but that's okay. LOL

8:29 pm

pythonx

He would actually stop breathing. like a hundred times a night. He has a machine now and complains that MY snoring keeps him awake.

8:29 pm

Jandy

I like the subtle program of escalation, Jac!

8:30 pm

Jandy

You could always close off his air supply, pythonx!

8:30 pm

pythonx

lol

8:30 pm

lbdawger

suffocation is a thought...nahhh, he's pretty handy around the house.

8:31 pm

Jandy

But we have friends who have been through the same process and he is a new man since he got his CAPD machine. She finds the constant hum of the machine easier to sleep through than the snoring and gasping.

8:31 pm

Nef

LOL! Is your hubby overweight, pythonx?

8:31 pm

pythonx

yes, mine is also very good at fixing things, guess I'll keep him

8:31 pm

Jacula

Pillow over the face? I've been tempted at times, and so has he with me, but I love him. (Hope he loves me, too!)

8:31 pm

Jandy

That's my problem, lbd. I don't want to do everything myself... and I'm rather fond of him. Fortunately for him!

8:32 pm

pythonx

yes, some. but the dr says that the cause of his apnea is not caused by his weight.

8:32 pm

lori ann

any help on the sa 5,12 or sa 6,21 ????

8:32 pm

Jacula

Jandy - I always kee[ the death threats until last.;-)

8:32 pm

lbdawger

yup, that's why i sleep in another room. it's really bad when i can hear him on the second floor!

Hi Jes!

8:32 pm

Nef

I had to go to the ENT doc recently and saw a picture of a new procedure for snoring, Just a sec and I'll find a link to it

8:33 pm

pythonx

his has to do with a malfunction in the brain.

8:33 pm

Lauren

sa 5 12 - looks like a tasty lunch meat, w/o the middle vowel

8:33 pm

jesdraggon

how's t'ings?

8:33 pm

pythonx

He doesn't like it when I say that he's blond and can't remember to breathe!

8:34 pm

Jandy

Thanks Lauren, didn't have that

8:34 pm

Lauren

po 5 12?

8:34 pm

Jacula

I know my snoring isn't caused by my weight because I've snored since I was a baby. I've been super-skinny and a bit fat and still snored whatever. I just have a silly little nose that I can't breathe through.

8:34 pm

lori ann

thanks for the clues everyone!!!

8:34 pm

lbdawger

lol, pythonx! Things are well, Jes. how about yourself?

8:34 pm

Jandy

oops

8:36 pm

Jandy

Now I'm fat I'm just REALLY floaty.

8:36 pm

Jacula

Snow is nice when it's dry and crisp. Horrible when it's slushy and black with traffic. Oh, and never eat yellow snow!

8:37 pm

Jandy

Night Python!

8:37 pm

jesdraggon

heh. thanks jac. i try not to eat any snow that's any color but shiny white

8:39 pm

Here is the info about the procedure for snoring, I was looking for pictures and didn't find one. http://www.rochesteroralsurgery.com/fa

8:40 pm

lbdawger

Tor, what were you doing in santa fe?

8:40 pm

Jacula

Installing a new conveyor in their recycling plant ..and freezing ..

8:41 pm

Jandy

Although, to be honest, I won't even swim in Australia except for in the Far North, cause the water's too cold!

8:41 pm

Jacula

As a flotation device, Jandy? Stop putting yourself down. xx

8:41 pm

lbdawger

a tad bit on the cool side for you, Tor?

8:42 pm

Jacula

Jandy - if you think the water's cold in the Aussie seas you should try our seas in UK!

8:42 pm

Jandy

Indeed.... and no-one can put me down in the water, Jac!

8:43 pm

torgone

Some days weren't so bad outside, but I was inside a big concrete building that sucked all the warmth out of your body ..

8:43 pm

Jandy

Well, I was born and bred in Liverpool, Jac. Holidays on what was loosely referred to as The Beach were mainly spent with me in a jumper and long pants.

8:44 pm

Jacula

You're irrebressible, Jandy.

8:44 pm

Jacula

Ah! Now I get you, Jandy. Liverbird AND Aussie.

8:44 pm

Jandy

I would reluctantly venture into the paddling pool if my mother would put a few kettles of hot water in... and thus the pattern was set.

8:45 pm

Jacula

That should have been a p not a b.

8:45 pm

8:51 pm

8:51 pm

Jacula

Goodness! You don't hide your light under a bushel, do you April? LOL

8:51 pm

Jandy

Go on, lash out and treat yourself, april!

8:51 pm

Nef

april, it's worth it! Join up!

8:51 pm

lbdawger

8:51 pm

Jandy

Do it now while you're young and can get your 15 dollar's worth!

8:52 pm

Not, quite, we went in the middle of 1970. It was like stepping back twenty years. We were shell shocked!

8:53 pm

Jacula

mo5.18 is a repeated pattern.

8:53 pm

nDanLia

mo 5 design sounds like reason for a crime [what was your mo****]

8:53 pm

catep

ty got that one

8:53 pm

lbdawger

SF during the winter isn't the greatest place unless you like the outdoors. but there are lovely places to see there, the museum of native art and culture is wonderful

8:53 pm

to5 sounds like a men's hairpiece, but without the fifth vowel

8:53 pm

nDanLia

And the lack of pollution was criminal... the light hurt my little eyes...

8:54 pm

lbdawger

8:57 pm

torgone

Don't know, Nef .. Probably ..

8:57 pm

Jacula

April - welcome new addict. You now have to stand up and say, 'Hello. My name is Aprilrain and I'm a Babbleaholic.'

8:57 pm

Jandy

I know it's different now, Jac, but then you couldn't walk along the foreshore in Liverpool without losing a sandal in an oil slick (that really happened to me) so to arrive in Australia with all those shiny golden beaches was amazing.

8:58 pm

Nef

SO I take it you didn't buy them out? :)

8:58 pm

aprilrain

*stands up* hello, my name is Aprilrain and I'm a babbleaholic

8:59 pm

torgone

Ummmm, no ..

8:59 pm

Jacula

CDan't be weirder, Jandy than my uncle who'se been in Canada for 42 years or my Liverbird friend who's been in NYC for 43 years.

8:59 pm

Jandy

Now, april, you must bring 100 others to us....

9:00 pm

torgone

Welcome, aprilrain .. Can I call you rain?

Jacula

(Will that do?)

9:00 pm

aprilrain

LOL jandy, I didn't know it was a pyramid scheme

9:00 pm

Jandy

How true. My dad went to sign up to go to Canada, as discussed at length with my mother, then on the way he decided the weather would be nicer in Australia, so changed his mind.

9:01 pm

Jandy

She was a little surprised, but quite pleased. Fortunately.

9:01 pm

Jacula

Hi, RenSERVANT.

Oh, april, you mean you hadn't cottened on that you get to sell cleaning products on the side!

9:02 pm

Jandy

Lucky she liked it, Jac. She's still here...

If I ever think of leaving the politically correct madness that has engulfed my Mother country now, I think of New Zealand or Tasmania.

Jacula

Exactly, Jandy AND 20 years behind the times, apparently. Suit me down to the ground.

9:05 pm

aprilrain

Jandy, sometimes it works better than regular words

9:06 pm

Jandy

Actually, the gap closed with the change in technology and information. Now trends and everything are pretty much the same at the same time. Quite remarkable really.

9:06 pm

Jacula

Ren - don't oxooxo me, too much! I might find so many insects your become delerious.

9:08 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, I saw halal meat on sa4 in my local ASDA for first time yesterday. That's a bit odd, since there are not many students etc., who shop there.

9:10 pm

jesdraggon

what's halal?

9:10 pm

Jandy

the Muslim equivalent of kosher, jes.

9:10 pm

jesdraggon

ah, thanks

9:10 pm

jesdraggon

except penalty box for using a grid word in chat ;)

9:11 pm

renfield

jandy to the box to the box to the box

9:11 pm

Jandy

Not to say the methods of preparation or rules are the same, just that it is meat prepared to be acceptable to people of a certain religion

9:11 pm

Jandy

Oh and a big one too. Is there a mattress in the box?

9:11 pm

Jacula

Halal means 'permissable', so the way the meat is killed in this instance is okay for Muslims.

9:11 pm

renfield

and they don;t have a rabbi overseeing and blessing it

9:12 pm

aprilrain

do you get penalty boxed if you accidentally use a common grid word, like if "what" was in the grid?

9:12 pm

jesdraggon

not so much, rain.

9:12 pm

Jandy

Maybe I could sleep in the PB tonight... no noring husband... no snoring dog.... hmmmmm

9:12 pm

jesdraggon

that's less likely to be noticed.

9:12 pm

renfield

you go to the box rpil

9:12 pm

jesdraggon

'course the penalty box basically consists of someone pointing out that you used a word, and everyone else hunting for the word to put in their own list ;)

9:13 pm

renfield

we send everyone to the box or the bilge

9:13 pm

aprilrain

okay :-) i'm messing around with my profile picture. . . which is better, the shark or the jellyfish?

9:13 pm

featherbee

ren, seen nutty lately?

9:13 pm

Jandy

oh, I think I'd prefer the box to the bilge, if it's all the same with you ren...

9:13 pm

jesdraggon

jelly :)

9:13 pm

torgone

Not the bilge ... Nooooo!!!!11

9:14 pm

renfield

feather - we have been wreaking havoc on facebook hahahahaha - renaming pictures

9:14 pm

Jandy

Yeah, jelly. Especially in the smaller image.

9:14 pm

renfield

jelly fishing jelly fishing jelly fishing

9:14 pm

aprilrain

all better

9:14 pm

aprilrain

or not

9:15 pm

Jacula

The way I see it is that you either eat meat or you don't. Yes, you can hope that the way the animal lives and ultimately dies is humane. You can even try to buy food that way if you cn afford to pay £9 for a chicken etc that should only cost £2.50. OR you can rear your own.

9:15 pm

renfield

i don;t think she's on right now

9:15 pm

aprilrain

don't mind me, checking my icon

9:15 pm

Jandy

I'm growing my own tomatoes, if that helps, Jac. And very humanely, too.

9:15 pm

aprilrain

grr-- it doesn't want to change back

9:16 pm

renfield

i haven't received any strange peeps from her

9:16 pm

aprilrain

got it

9:16 pm

renfield

refresh pril

9:16 pm

*Sneaks into Jandy's garden and steals a tomato*

9:16 pm

renfield

i eat canned spinach - does that help? oh and i recycle the can and the label

9:17 pm

Jacula

OY! I saw that, Jandy! *CRIES THIEF!"

9:17 pm

yay for recycling!

11:23 pm

melissa356546354

hey everyone!

11:24 pm

dcseain

hi, melissa

11:24 pm

jillibus

the fa4/8 derives from the French to grieve, to offend, to anger via Scotland and the "auld alliacnce", hence "dinna fa4 yersel'" -- don't get all upset. Or so I understand.

11:25 pm

dcseain

oh, that makes sense, jill, ty :)

11:26 pm

jillibus

as "loo" may come from the French "gardez l'eau" which became "gardyloo" as potties were emptied out from the upstairs windows...

11:27 pm

dcseain

yes, that we leaned in primary school.

11:27 pm

jillibus

hi melissa

11:28 pm

jillibus

oh, I didn't, dc!

11:29 pm

dcseain

i went to a school where we were taught the natives are the say persay rather than the nez pierce than most people in this country learn, so who knows.

11:29 pm

jillibus

and here I am, expecting that everyone will know that gardez l'eu means look out for the water.

11:30 pm

jillibus

l'eau

11:31 pm

jillibus

nez perce = nay pairsay in French, n'est-ce pas?

11:33 pm

dcseain

yes, i mistyped :)

11:33 pm

jillibus

There should be an accent aigu on the last e in perce but I don't know if it will come across here -- let me try -- percé -- oh, yes it did

11:34 pm

jillibus

anyone need clues?

11:34 pm

dcseain

out of curiosity is 'gratiot' valid in French, and if so, what might it mean?

11:35 pm

melissa356546354

i need help with the ok please

11:35 pm

bananafour

fe5/20 pls

11:35 pm

jillibus

I don't think so, dc, but gratuit is free.

11:36 pm

dcseain

a-ok, melissa

11:36 pm

jillibus

fe5/20 -- the talking horse follows the French fire (clue by Haz)

11:36 pm

dcseain

add a vowel to a disagreement, banana

11:37 pm

jillibus

ok + supposed Canadian interjection

11:38 pm

bananafour

bananafour

11:38 pm

melissa356546354

11:39 pm

dcseain

kh is all in the lower left corner, from hindi

11:40 pm

bananafour

lol last spelling I tried, ty

11:40 pm

jillibus

sorry -- gratuit = gratuitous --- gratis is free. No gratiot in my small dictionary.

11:41 pm

bananafour

can google a translation

11:41 pm

dcseain

didn't think it was jill, ty for checking

11:42 pm

dcseain

it's a common town name in the great lakes region, and is prounced differently in each state. My dad's from the one in Ohio, so i'm just idly curious about it's origins.

11:42 pm

dcseain

okay, do any of you know what rickrolling is?

11:43 pm

jillibus

Roll in the hay?

11:44 pm

melissa356546354

11:44 pm

dcseain

11:45 pm

jillibus

c'mon, dc -- it's not to windward. lol

11:45 pm

bananafour

that jilli, always a one track mind.....lol jk

11:46 pm

dcseain

11:46 pm

bananafour

11:46 pm

jillibus

11:46 pm

11:47 pm

jillibus

so, what is rickrolling?

11:48 pm

jillibus

oh, sorry, missed the explanation.

11:48 pm

dcseain

so know that you know, a limerick:

11:48 pm

jillibus

and who is Rick Astley?

11:48 pm

dcseain

There once was a man named Bertold
Who drank beer when the weather grew cold
As he reached for his cup...
"NEEEEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP!!!"
Oh, snap! You just got limerickrolled!

11:48 pm

dcseain

singer from the 80s, jilli

11:49 pm

GroovyKiwi

who is rick astley? - never gonna give you up never gonna let you down never gonna turn around and desert you never gonna make you cry never gonna say good bye ......

11:49 pm

dcseain

Never Gonna Give You Up was one of his big hits in the mid-80s

11:49 pm

GroovyKiwi

lol lol

11:49 pm

jillibus

darn, not my time for songs

11:50 pm

jillibus

too busy dog-showing then

11:50 pm

dcseain

yes, that's the one, kiwi LOL

11:50 pm

dcseain

oddly, earlier today, i had The Man on the Flying Trapeeze running through my head on a loop. at least it was a fun, different-than-usual earworm. :)

11:51 pm

jillibus

oh kiwi -- rather ironic lyrics now for you

11:51 pm

GroovyKiwi

i am so an 80's music chic

11:51 pm

GroovyKiwi

its getting better jilli

11:51 pm

jillibus

earworm -- what a good description for that annoyance!

11:51 pm

dcseain

Once i was happy, but now i'm forlorn, like an old coat that is tattered and worn, left in this wide world to weep and to mourn, betrayed by a maid in her teens.

11:52 pm

jillibus

tattered and torn, isn't it?

11:52 pm

GroovyKiwi

on wed nite my kieran and i had a really good heart to heart talk about how i felt and what i thought was wrong etc then he rang his father and told him that and i quote "he was pi$$ed off at him and that he had to listen to what mum had to say" unquote

11:52 pm

GroovyKiwi

so i talked to ian for about 20 min and he listened to what i had to say agreed with some bits disagreed with others but it was a step further than i have ever got before

11:53 pm

dcseain

there are variants, jill, and that is an other i've heard.

11:53 pm

GroovyKiwi

so now i have two more nights before he flies out so im not gonna push him anymore - just leave him be

11:53 pm

jillibus

oh, good progress, kiwi!

11:53 pm

dcseain

sounds like a good talk, kiwi, how wonderful

11:53 pm

GroovyKiwi

but we have agred to email each other once a week with an "issue" each to try and resolve through the email = being as it isnt as emotive as verbal and see how we go

11:54 pm

dcseain

sounds like a good plan, kiwi

11:54 pm

GroovyKiwi

tho i must admit i asked the boys last night did they want to ring him and neither of them did so i didnt push it but it was a first

11:54 pm

jillibus

be sure to use emoticons, kiwi -- things can be misunderstood otherwise ;)

11:55 pm

GroovyKiwi

the best thing was having the heart to heart with kieran - it felt so good and he was so understanding about it all - the teenager is growing up

11:55 pm

dcseain

so true, jilli. things like /emotion can show an end to an obvious mood, too.

11:56 pm

dcseain

it's rather amazing how we humans change in those years, isn't it.

11:56 pm

jillibus

it's good to share things with teenagers -- then they're more likely to share their problems with you.

11:56 pm

GroovyKiwi

im just gonna keep it all cool calm and collected now for the next three months and 6 days lol

11:56 pm

GroovyKiwi

actually i did work because kieran turned around and was truthful with me that he had got a detention and had to do it today after school - usually he lies and makes up an excuse why hes late

11:57 pm

GroovyKiwi

so i thanked him for being truthful and didnt give him any extra punishment

11:58 pm

jillibus

Oh -- CNN just said Prince Harry is being pulled out of Afghanistan, poor guy.

11:59 pm

GroovyKiwi

well i guess thats all they can do now the cat is out of the bag

11:59 pm

jillibus

Who was the SOB who spilled the beans?

12:00 am

dcseain

12:00 am

jillibus
