wow dart, only 59 here

jillibus

this doesn't look encouraging, but did manage to finish the last one, thanks to morewords. I think the majority of the words were obscure and useless.

12:20 am

12:28 am

herinfernallady

Still no word on the people that are to make it work. If we have to connect with someone else we have to buy a wireless net box and we dont have the money to do it: Overseas Holiday, car rego car insurance and various bills for him and food costs and rent for me

12:36 am

Ornith

hi mg

12:36 am

jillibus

hi monkeyG

12:36 am

westford

hi monkey are you and walter better today?

12:38 am

MonkeyGames

I'm fine. Walter is still asleep. By his bedtime he was much better but still pale and worn out, and in the night he had a fever, so I'm keeping him home again today but I expect him to be up to going to do something fun for a bit, lik ethe playground at the end of the road.

12:38 am

westford

so happy to hear that

12:39 am

westford

does he always have this much trouble with his shots?

12:39 am

MonkeyGames

Thank you. It's a big weight off my mind!

12:40 am

MonkeyGames

THis is the most trouble he has ever had. He had a slight fever from one of the earlier ones and I could tell he felt off, but for the rest he's had no reaction at all. He did already have quite a bad cold when she ghave him this one, but she said that didn't matter.... but I think I disagree.

12:41 am

westford

oh I do too

12:42 am

flosey

so far have monkeyed a lot of non words

12:42 am

flosey

and they're accepted

12:43 am

westford

good for you flosey

12:43 am

Ornith

lol

12:43 am

MLFAN17

i am out of here only found 50 words good night...POOF

12:43 am

westford

my nons hardly ever work

12:43 am

jillibus

ugh, flosey!

12:43 am

MonkeyGames

The protocols all say it's OK if the kid is ill if there's no fever, which there wasn't. But I wish I had just skipped the appointment because of his cold. I didn't realize he'd get this shot now or I might have. I though he was due for it in a couple of months. If I had cancelled they'd have goiven me another appointment in a month or so. But I had already done that once, because I had a cold.

12:43 am

jillibus

night mlf

12:44 am

Ornith

nn mlf

12:44 am

westford

a friend of mine used to ask for 1/2 doses for her children because they always had bad reactions

12:44 am

westford

that meant going again but she said it was worth it

12:46 am

westford

I really want lanai and I want to be sitting on one

12:46 am

MonkeyGames

I can see how that could work, but my insurance would have made me pay.... Not that that is the issue when our children's health is on deck. But I had no idea I could expect this. Anyway, he's seriously on the mend and his next and last booster is in five years.

12:47 am

MonkeyGames

Phantoms: violets, violist

12:47 am

jillibus

the US health care farce makes me fume

12:47 am

westford

well that's good at least you can breathe easily until then but he'll be a tough scrappy kid by then and it won't bother him one bit

12:48 am

MonkeyGames

I'm in the Netherlands, jilli. Could not agree with you more.

12:48 am

westford

I hope something can be done about it jilli

12:48 am

jillibus

There was an excellent
tv

12:49 am

MonkeyGames

My work (a volunteer social work place where I'm doing residency) sent me to a private screen ing of sicko. We (people from similar org's, etc.) watched it and then debated with reps from our insurance comp's about whether things could ever get that bad here.

12:49 am

westford

it's all about profit now

12:50 am

Ornith

my dad's a doc and his salary has fallen over the years because of the HMOs and the malpractice insurance costs

12:50 am

westford

I can remember when doctor's made house calls lol

12:50 am

jillibus

There was an excellent TV programme about world wide health care yesterday -- I hope people in the US were paying attention

12:51 am

westford

I hear you orn HMO's and malpractice ins are the main culprits

12:51 am

MonkeyGames

wa6... my first word of any consequence so far

12:51 am

jillibus

yeah, I remember those house call days too, sigh!

12:52 am

cybernan

we seem to be in Hawaii tonight!

12:53 am

westford

I worked with a woman whose son and daughter in law were both doctors. She was an ob-gyn and her mal ins was over 100K a year and that was 20 years ago

12:53 am

jillibus

west, maybe the ins cos and pharm cos too?

12:53 am

westford

true jilli

12:53 am

westford

a lot of us are coming your way to get meds

12:53 am

Ornith

HMOs = insurance jilli. But yeah, pharma is a beast too

12:54 am

Ornith

they keep pulling crap like demanding I get a 60mg + 30mg so they get two copays instead of 3x30mg of a med

12:54 am

jillibus

not to mention greedy lawyers re malpractice

12:54 am

Ornith

well, that's the insurance, but they do it to save money from the crazy pharma costs

12:55 am

MVA

hi all!

12:55 am

Ornith

hi mva

12:55 am

westford

hi MVA

12:55 am

jillibus

hi MVA :)

12:56 am

MonkeyGames

About 17 years ago we were visiting my husband's cousin in Buffalo. She drove us to Canada and then said there were some OTC drugsthat are the only thing that can help her migraines. She bought some, then made us all change clothes and we used a diferent border crossing because she was afraid the drug store would have called ahead and said some US people had bought these. When we were back at her place, I looked at the pills. Acetameniphen... tylenol! I did not tell her. If she can get placebo relief who am I to spoil it?

12:56 am

MonkeyGames

Hi MVA!

12:57 am

Ornith

uneducated consumers don't help either, no. the amount of people who demand antibiotics for every cold... grah.

12:58 am

westford

wow what a story people should be able to get meds wherever they want

12:58 am

Ornith

west, tylenol you can lol

12:58 am

westford

or using the ER for non emergencies

12:58 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, that's the #1 complaint among recently-arrived US folks here. Drives me nuts. "Stupid doctor wouldn't even give me an antibiotic but I've had this flu for a week".

12:59 am

Ornith

often people use the ER cause they have no actual doctor or the doctor needs days to see them

12:59 am

westford

maybe it had a little something extra they just gave my husband tylenol 3

12:59 am

jillibus

the U words are all weird -- I looked them up, so ya wanna make sump'n uvvit?

1:00 am

MonkeyGames

Here, we have the general practitioner, the specialists, the 1st aid department, and teh emergency room.

1:00 am

westford

is that a clue jilli?

1:00 am

MonkeyGames

This woman's tylenol did not have anything extra.

1:00 am

flosey

lol jilli - those are two of what I call non words that I monkeyed

1:00 am

cybernan

are you sure there wasn't something else in it Monkey? I was amazed to find that I couldn't get acetezone forte over the counter in the US, but that I could get Aleve!

1:00 am

Ornith

and the insurance companies are part of that too - huge prices, and they do things like making it so you HAVE to have multiple appointments - I can't get a normal checkup + GYN checkup the same day because of the HMO

1:01 am

Ornith

mg, here 1st aid = ER...

1:01 am

cybernan

also helps to know french tonight

1:01 am

westford

it's all so messed up

1:01 am

MonkeyGames

These really just were acetameniphen.

1:01 am

Ornith

but you have to jump through hoops to get an appointment sooner than two weeks out at my doctor, as I just discovered when I realized I had a sinus infection two weeks back

1:02 am

Ornith

thank God I DON'T try that every time I have a cold

1:02 am

westford

well as you said if it helped her all the better

1:02 am

MonkeyGames

My doctor has a two-hour period every morning when you can just go in for small stuff.

1:02 am

Ornith

that'd be nice mg!

1:03 am

westford

that's great monkey wish they all did

1:03 am

MonkeyGames

He has a daily half-hour when he answers the pjone himself. If he's full on a given day and it's something that hurts or something, you get referred to another doctor. In a pinch you can call teh first aid wing at the hospital.

1:03 am

MonkeyGames

Usually I can just get a same-day appointment, though.

1:04 am

Ornith

it doesn;t help that a lot of businesses want a doctor's note - like you're in kindergarten! - and so you have to do a whole long thing just for that

1:04 am

westford

sounds so sensible

1:04 am

Hugabugs

Hi everyone!

1:04 am

MonkeyGames

A specialist appontment can take longer. I had to wait three weeks for my non-emergency MRI.

1:04 am

Ornith

hi hugs!

1:04 am

westford

hi hugs

1:05 am

MVA

hi hugs

1:05 am

MonkeyGames

Here we have doctors who work for companies, Ornith. You can see your company's doctor and get cleared as sick. Separate appointment system and no further notes needed unless you're sick a while.

1:06 am

Ornith

some of the biggest have a nurse for that here too, mg. but I work for a tiny little business

1:06 am

MonkeyGames

Are there things that end in ist or should I stop looking at it?

bye MVA, have a great day! *hug*

1:33 am

MonkeyGames

Hey Sprite, I just e-mailed my boss to say I'm keeping Walter home today. My spellchecker doesn't complain about vaandag OR vandaag; are they interchangeable or have I maybe been saying something odd for years?

1:33 am

KatieMcG

No what don't you like sprite?

1:34 am

jillibus

you mean the things under the bridge, sprite?

1:34 am

sprite

they are both words, but don't mean the same thing, MonkeyG. Vandaag = today. Vaan-dag is a day with vaantjes, vaan being flags.

1:34 am

KatieMcG

ahhh I have that one already :-)

1:34 am

sprite

tr5/10 is the thing I don't like

1:35 am

dart001

think the ro 7...is french word for rust

1:35 am

KatieMcG

I bet we get one today so I end up in the PB!!!!

1:35 am

jillibus

that's what I thought

1:35 am

KatieMcG

I'd better get ready for work. See you all later

1:35 am

dart001

that ending is common to about 3 or 4 other words too

1:35 am

Ornith

my French ends at "fromage"

jillibus

I mean happy day

1:36 am

sprite

un deux trois camembert, deux biere s'il vous plait... I know a lot of french

1:36 am

Ornith

1:44 am

jillibus

Think double tins

1:44 am

MonkeyGames

Ornith, I have not seen Froot Loops over here. Sprite, black bird with enormous striped beak.

1:44 am

westford

1:45 am

jillibus

double tin didn't work?

1:45 am

Ornith

tu6?

1:45 am

MonkeyGames

Phantom: canula

1:45 am

westford

tyvm ruru and orn

1:45 am

sprite

and I learned something new... I thought that bird's name didn't have an O.

1:46 am

Ornith

what's a canula?

1:46 am

dart001

same ending as those other weird french? ones

1:46 am

MonkeyGames

But yesterday was my favorite phantom day. My winners were polemic, lepton, and helminth.

1:46 am

dart001

tu 6 that is

1:46 am

MonkeyGames

A canula is some sort of medical thing, a large needle I think. I'll look it up.

1:46 am

jillibus

I think it's cannula

1:46 am

Ornith

ah ty

1:46 am

sprite

yes dart

1:46 am

Ornith

what';s a helminth? :P

1:46 am

MonkeyGames

Oh! Sorry.

1:47 am

Ornith

ok, just the un's and the second va8!!

1:47 am

dart001

think canula is something with oxygen..the tube that goes under your nose or something like that

1:47 am

jillibus

helminth + a worm I think

1:47 am

sprite

there is a ca8 with that ending that is not a friendly word, lol

1:48 am

MonkeyGames

Online dictionary says canula and cannula both ok. Flexible tube for draining fluids from body cavities.

1:48 am

Ornith

can(n)ula is apparently a drainage tube

1:48 am

rururocks

helmith is a worm with a hard hat...

1:48 am

rururocks

lol

1:48 am

dart001

2nd va8...someone who estimates a worth of something

1:48 am

sprite

lolol ruru

1:48 am

Ornith

and yes, a helminth is just a worm

1:48 am

MonkeyGames

I also thought it was funny that bothquantum and lepton were phantoms yesterday.

1:49 am

sprite

1:49 am

jillibus

1:52 am

sprite

1:52 am

rururocks

A duck just nearly hit the window. Sheesh.

2:06 am

lol 1Mar, no, I meant it was really there!

2:07 am

Just1Mar

I must be backwards today heh

2:07 am

A duck falls out of the window. Quack.

2:08 am

MonkeyGames

Hey, found that other un. Was bugging me.

2:09 am

sprite

both are babblets, I think, MonkeyG

2:09 am

Ornith

mg, it should have ducked!

2:09 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, but I wasn't on here forever and forgot all that I once knew...

2:09 am

westford

I was checking my email but saw the conversation when I got back the answer is yes and no

2:10 am

sprite

very ambiguous, west ;)

2:10 am

MonkeyGames

Hyuk, hyuk! Seriously, though, I thought that swan the other week was going to crash on the deck. They're pretty big at high speeds.

2:10 am

westford

I love this game too but will also play tangle

2:10 am

BabbleRabble

phantom: plagosity

2:10 am

Just1Mar

ditto westie but I'll never play as much tangle as I used to

2:11 am

MonkeyGames

I'm trying to decide if I should go check on Walter or keep letting him sleep. This is getting pretty darned late for him.

2:11 am

sprite

had a seagull break my car window once... they can be big and heavy and er.... very flat

2:11 am

Just1Mar

but it's all moot cause it's not a sure thing

2:11 am

westford

I really miss chatting with jemima so when she's on I'll play

2:11 am

sprite

if he sleeps in while not feeling good, I would let him, MonkeyG

2:11 am

sprite

West: that is the best solution!

2:12 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, I lean that way too. BUt I'm sometimes one of these nervous-nellie moms.

2:12 am

westford

the nicest part of this game is it lasts 24 hours..tangleword games are over in 2 minutes

2:12 am

MonkeyGames

Clue for the ul?

2:12 am

Just1Mar

still don't understand why she won't come here...it can be for the same amount of time as at TW..and she can come back several times thruout the day

2:13 am

Ornith

mg, ul** bator

2:13 am

westford

I know she'd love it

2:13 am

Just1Mar

or not as she wishes...

2:13 am

westford

maybe she likes the speed ?

2:13 am

sprite

I couldn't play with time pressure, would take out all the fun for me

2:13 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks, thought I'd tried that!

2:14 am

Just1Mar

maybe but she seemed to really enjoy that chat more (so it seemed to me)

2:14 am

westford

sprite I meant to ask is a day of flags a holiday?

2:15 am

westford

that was the only time we had

2:15 am

Ornith

nn all

2:15 am

Just1Mar

that's why I'm so surprised she doesn't come here..

2:15 am

westford

our emails have been less frequent since she got the dog

2:15 am

westford

gn orn tc

2:16 am

Just1Mar

it's a shame......owlie too..

2:16 am

westford

it's a bit intimidating at first

2:16 am

westford

absolutely

2:16 am

westford

ossie is here once in awhile but she likes the speed

2:17 am

Just1Mar

not if you have a friend here to "walk" you through it

2:17 am

Douglas

South Dakota drug store...

2:17 am

Just1Mar

the people certainly aren't

2:17 am

Just1Mar

the people certainly aren't

2:17 am

westford

that's true

2:17 am

sprite

MonkeyG: vaan usually refers to something military, like the flag in battle. But vaandag can also refer to vlaggetjesdag, the day the Dutch herring vleet puts out to sea, when all vessels are decked with flags.

2:17 am

2:18 am

Lizsark

how are you Sprite - havent seen you in ages

2:19 am

westford

one of my favorite songs is Ewan Mac Coll 's (sp?)

2:19 am

westford

The Shoals of Herring

2:19 am

Douglas

When someone says "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help," put your hand on your wa6

2:20 am

westford

true doug

2:20 am

sprite

slowly but steadily working towards feeling better and having some living instead of surviving, Liz! Today not so good, because of an infuriating thing happening yesterday, but on the whole I think it is going well.
How about you?

2:20 am

jillibus

hi liz!

2:20 am

Lizsark

Glad to hear it :) Are you still writing? I'm good at the moment ty :)

2:21 am

Lizsark

Hi Jilli :)

2:21 am

westford

the state of RI hit us with a double whammy on the 15th State Income Tax and Property

2:21 am

jillibus

what happened yesterday, sprite? Go ahead, blow off steam!

2:21 am

sprite

not writing, but translating :) And yes, I try to do it regularly, still not totally successful in that, but at least I do it :D

2:22 am

Lizsark

good for you :)

2:22 am

Lizsark

Jilli - love the 70s icon!

2:22 am

Douglas

I want a tailless manx cat to be in the grid...

2:22 am

sprite

jilli, it is quite a story... will keep it as short as I can then. A young (17 yo) friend of the family, who was going to have to leave his home when he would be 18, lots of troubles, stayed over one night at our place.

2:23 am

Lizsark

Douglas - my other half is in the Isle of Man right now!

2:23 am

jillibus

teen trouble?

2:23 am

sprite

Kids played with him, we watched some dvds (hubby, me and him) and went to bed, he in his own room. Next morning I dropped him off at the train station.
He said his parents knew.

2:24 am

jillibus

uh oh!

2:24 am

Lizsark

oh no Sprite :(

2:24 am

sprite

yesterday, his mum called me. What on earth I thought I was doing, sleeping with a 17yo. Kid claimed we had a relationship and had sex. Had a very long talk with the mum. Found out the kid has been lying about EVERYTHING.

2:25 am

Lizsark

OMG!!!

2:25 am

jillibus

oh, nasty!

2:26 am

sprite

And I mean everything. No way he has to leave his parent's home at 18. No way he is an only kid (he has a younger bro who is physically handicapped). No way he told his parents he came over. And NO WAY we had sex... I viewed that kid as another son. Haven't been alone with him except that very morning.

2:26 am

MonkeyGames

Yikes, Sprite!

2:26 am

Lizsark

God Sprite what an awful situation he put you in :(

2:26 am

jillibus

sick kid

2:26 am

MonkeyGames

OK, have to go away again but wanted to report Walter is feeling MUCH better. And woke up dry again.

2:26 am

sprite

his mum now told me the kid has a personality disorder and lies constantly. Yeah, thanks, I know now. End of the conversation was her apologising to me for the trouble her son caused us.

2:27 am

westford

Good news monkey

2:27 am

jillibus

glad about Walter, monkeyG

2:27 am

sprite

but I am really worried. Such accusations are hard to proof wrong.

2:27 am

sprite

congrats, MonkeyG, for Walter and for you.

2:27 am

Lizsark

sounds like his Mum knows what he's really like deep down

2:28 am

westford

oh sprite that really is too bad

2:28 am

jillibus

well, his mother believes you and that's what counts

2:28 am

sprite

yes, she was very much relieved, she said, after talking to me. She now knew it had not happened, she told me. But still.

2:28 am

westford

the boy needs help

2:28 am

Lizsark

yes horrible for you Sprite. You know we're always here to talk to dont you :)

2:29 am

sprite

my husband came home when I was on the phone with her. I said in short to him what I was on the phone about. And he yelled: WHAT!!@! GIve me the address and I beat him senseless!

2:29 am

sprite

somehow, that convinced the mum even more, I think. It was very uncensored anyway, he was SO angry. And rightly so. But can you believe I am still worried?

2:30 am

jillibus

What an ugly experience, sprite, but try to put it out of your mind. Stupid thing for me to say -- the more you try the more you can't -- so just babble yourself batty :)

2:30 am

sprite

oh yes, he needs help. His mum told me he has been getting help for a long time now. And then they declare he is doing fine now. It goes well for a couple of months. And then it starts all over again.

2:30 am

Lizsark

oh dear :(

2:31 am

sprite

lol jilli, yes. I put myself to sleep yesterday with a good dose of meds... and when I woke at 5 am I started worrying right away again. But as my wise son said today: mum, it is over now. We don't want anything to do with him anymore.

2:31 am

Lizsark

ounce

2:31 am

jillibus

How horribly frustrating that must be for his parents!

2:31 am

Lizsark

arrrgh sorry everyone

2:32 am

westford

that's okay liz had it already lol

2:32 am

Lizsark

*blushing furiously*

2:32 am

jillibus

4 or 5 am is a dreadful time -- I wake up often then with a head full of thoughts

2:32 am

westford

next time one I don't have please

2:32 am

Lizsark

lol

2:33 am

jillibus

goodies in the PB, liz :)

2:33 am

sprite

you know what worries me too... I have always been... well, how can I put it... If people have troubles, I am open to them. They talk to me, I listen, I try and let them feel they are good persons and things will work out. And now I feel like... that is dangerous.

2:33 am

Lizsark

TY Jilli *rushes off to the PB*

2:33 am

sprite

yes, I wouldn't want to be in his parents' shoes for all the gold in the world, jilli.

2:33 am

westford

don't change the way you are sprite because of one bad apple

2:33 am

Lizsark

Well said West

2:34 am

Douglas

What you do at this point, Liz, is to trudge off to the Penalty Box, and enjoy some of the tasty snacks inside...although that seems to defeat the purpose of calling it the Penalty Box...hmm...

2:34 am

jillibus

yes, west

2:34 am

sprite

I even tend to hug people. Haven't hugged this kid except when he left, but still.

2:34 am

jillibus

doug, it just keeps them away from the keyboard for a bit, lol

2:34 am

Lizsark

Been there sooo mnay times in the past Douglas its probably all my food thats stocking it!

2:34 am

westford

doug you'd have to be a woman to understand why goodies are a penalty

2:35 am

Douglas

What they said, sprite...

2:35 am

sprite

hey, Doug, spoken as a real man, huh

2:35 am

sprite

I mean about the penalty box, lol

2:35 am

jillibus

hugging can't hurt, sprite

2:36 am

Lizsark

I have to go. Lovely to see you Jilli and Sprite , everyone. Sprite email me through facebook anytime you wanna chat x

2:36 am

sprite

that is what I would have said before yesterday, jilli... now I wonder.

2:36 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* Thanks hun!

2:36 am

Lizsark

((hugz)) *poof*

2:36 am

jillibus

bye liz -- have a good day

2:37 am

jillibus

well, you don't ever have to hug HIM ever again!

2:37 am

jillibus

I'm no good at using facebook except for scrabulous

2:38 am

sprite

lol, no jilli, never. Or even speak to him. Nobody tells such a vicious lie about me and is allowed access to me or my family, it is as simple as that.

2:38 am

sprite

I am no good at facebook at all, can´t seem to find the time for it.

2:39 am

Douglas

No man is a hero to his va5

2:39 am

2:39 am

sprite

jillibus

2:41 am

sprite

2:41 am

BabbleRabble

2:41 am

jillibus

2:41 am

westford

2:41 am

westford

Douglas

an5 is a river in Egypt...

2:44 am

lynxxx

I haven't seen her for a while Doug but she is still playing

2:46 am

Douglas

The reason I ask is because I've recently heard a story about a bombing in Ariel, near Tel Aviv

2:48 am

Douglas

It was a package, wrapped up to look like a Purim gift basket, and set at the door of the Ortiz family

2:48 am

sprite

fireworks for me. And must be off, alas. Have a great day and/or night all of you!

2:48 am

lynxxx

ugh - I pray that one day soon all those troubles can be reasoned out and peace can reign, I don't know how anyone can live there

2:49 am

lynxxx

Congrats Sprite, have a happy day

2:49 am

Douglas

Yay sprite...this will be a better day/night for you...

Douglas

I would also like lanile and taline to be words...

2:55 am

westford

2:55 am

Andree

they are related add a consenant

2:56 am

westford

I'm so used to the Latin ending that it threw me

2:57 am

westford

doug they can be words but first you have to make up definitions

2:57 am

Douglas

eloi is so a word! Hasn't Enable read the Bible, where Jesus is on the cross?

2:57 am

Andree

eo6 please

2:58 am

Douglas

Hasn't Enable read The Time Machine?!?

2:58 am

Douglas

Oh, yes, west, quite...

2:59 am

Andree

why is halal not accepted

2:59 am

Just1Mar

add another song note andree

2:59 am

Douglas

Because it's not an English word...

3:00 am

Just1Mar

eo plus anagram of something you hammer

3:01 am

Andree

thats silly, we have halal butchers etc, commonly used

3:01 am

Douglas

But you're expecting Enable to make sense...

3:01 am

Just1Mar

guess they only take kosher...

3:02 am

Just1Mar

phantom halva :D

3:02 am

westford

Just1Mar

3:11 am

Douglas

I understand your supposed to knock it back, not really sip it...

3:11 am

westford

3:11 am

Just1Mar

but then gin is more my style

3:11 am

westford

I put it in tonic

3:11 am

Douglas

Short for Stolichnaya, which has probably never been in a grid, but one never knows...

3:12 am

westford

3:13 am

Just1Mar

sounds Polish to me

3:13 am

westford

if one of you nice people will give me a clue to the last ha 6/21 I can go to bed

3:13 am

Douglas

Might I trouble you for one of the i words, please?

3:14 am

westford

happy to doug if I have it

3:14 am

Just1Mar

ha rhymes with little onion like veggie

3:14 am

westford

Russian and Polish sound very similar

3:15 am

westford

have that one must be the one before it

3:15 am

Douglas

There's more than one? The one I have sounds like singing...

3:15 am

Andree

take the vowel of the one befor and add a consenant

3:15 am

Just1Mar

in + a great Pink Floyd song

3:15 am

Andree

or the other way around if you have that one

3:17 am

Just1Mar

the other is ha plus sounds like hawaiian greeting

3:17 am

Douglas

All in all, that's just a... rather infrequent word...

3:18 am

westford

I'm never going to get to bed

3:18 am

Douglas

5:46 am

Dachef

MG - is that a euphemism???

Ehhhh, wasn't meant to be.... Just supposed to be kind of funny. Now I'll be spending too much time trying tow ork out what it could be a euphemism FOR...

Aha, thanks!

6:07 am

Yup. I've dragged myself through to 88 but I an burning out.

6:29 am

carleekat

6:32 am

MonkeyGames

I will give up soon and go put up a shelf. Who knows how long I have anyway: instead of napping, Walter is singing an dspeaking in tongues.

6:37 am

MonkeyGames

What about the ru's? Just can't seem to figure those out.

6:38 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, there's ONE...

6:38 am

Scrabbler

Hi all. How is Walter today, MG?

6:40 am

LoriP

***The a's sucked.*** G'd morning Scrabbler!

6:40 am

MonkeyGames

MUCH better. He still has the cold he had in the first place, and he is still pale and I can tell he's not 100%, but he's very much on the mend. Just put him down for his nap, an dhe is singing lustily.

6:41 am

Scrabbler

Great news, MG.

6:41 am

Scrabbler

Hi Lori

6:41 am

MonkeyGames

He's upset we can't go to the playground (I kept him home bacause he had another fever in the night). But I figure in his state right now a trip to a playground in th eshrieking wind and periodic rain is probably not the best of all possible ideas.

6:41 am

Angelsong

phantom: vanilla

6:41 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, and his arm seems fine now too.

6:42 am

MonkeyGames

Phantom: violets

6:42 am

Scrabbler

It won't make him sicker, but who would want to be out in that weather?

6:42 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I see it, Angel.

6:43 am

MonkeyGames

He would. Won't make him sicker per se, but he would overdo it and knock himself flat, I know him. He needs a chance to just recover. I haven't been stopping him running around, though, and we also loaded him into the cargo trike and took the dog on a long run for some fresh air. But at the playground he'd get drenched.

6:45 am

Scrabbler

Yep, so stay at home and play.

6:45 am

LoriP

Okay. This grid is laden with stoopid non word words. Ack.

6:46 am

MonkeyGames

He's getting a shred stir crazy, so after nap time we may take the bus down to pick out fabric for his summer blanket. Tomorrow we can go down the road to the nature preserve and see the deer.

6:47 am

Scrabbler

6:47 am

Scrabbler

Lori, I am up to 11 words and am struggling already. I don't have much time now either because I hit the snooze alarm 4 times.

6:47 am

LoriP

G'd morning kje. 'Yer late! :-)

6:48 am

Scrabbler

Hi kje

6:48 am

Dachef

6:49 am

MonkeyGames

OK, 92 words and cannot take it anymore. I will leave you good people for a little while, and go see where I can hang this Egyptian hand-stitched tapestry thing I virtually stole at the second hand place downstairs: they wanted 5 Euros for it! It's probably worth more. See you folks at my next housework break.

8:40 am

rumplestiltskin

Good morning everyone. Haven't been on for quite some time due to my husband's emergency surgery. He had a dissected Aortic aneurism in February and was in surgery for 14 hours with only a less than 2% chance of survival. However, being a tough old Marine, he made it. He is home now, recovering, so maybe I will be able to start babbling occasionally again. Miss you all.

8:40 am

redturtlehead

Sucessfully adjusted icon.

8:41 am

flosey

thanks, just not getting the clue

8:41 am

Uneaixoise

rumples, so sorry for what you and your husband have gone through . . .

8:41 am

redturtlehead

Oh My Romplestilt. that is ususally a very bad prognosis! I am glad he did well! Welcome back!

8:43 am

redturtlehead

So, it appears I have my tax refund, which is nice, but consternating, because now I have to decide what to do with it.

8:44 am

kje

what a dilemma red -

8:44 am

kje

seeing as I paid 1600, I'm not sympathetic to your plight - LOL

8:44 am

kje

however, I am willing to live vicariously through you - how about a trip to Paris?

8:44 am

flosey

oh wow kje, that hurts

8:45 am

redturtlehead

Sorry, you made more than me though, for sure. and its my first tax year owning a mortgage...

8:45 am

kje

or a meal at the French Laundry...

8:45 am

kje

or a meeting with a personal shopper at Neiman's

8:45 am

redturtlehead

Well kje, nice idea, but its between putting more into IRA, or paying off a debt. and I need a new camera...

8:45 am

werdynerdy

save it or invest it wisely?

8:46 am

redturtlehead

my old one started to make all the photos look likep urple stripes.

8:46 am

kje

dream bigger red!!!

8:46 am

redturtlehead

I can dream, but...at least I can finally pad up my savings account some more.

8:47 am

kje

I'm not sure I can live vicariously through you if you're paying debt - but that is likely the smart move : )

8:47 am

kje

un 5 anyone?

8:48 am

redturtlehead

Ahhh kje, paying off debt is one of the most wonderful feelings in the world, in addition it means I will have an extra 1-200 dollars a month to do whatever with...sad that I do not know exactly how much my car payment is...its automated.

8:48 am

kje

my only debt is school loans - and I suspect I will pay them until I die someday...and they die with me : )

8:49 am

redturtlehead

luckily, the state paid more of my school, but i have a small bit left on car, a small bit of student loans and of course my special mortgage.

8:50 am

kje

yes, haven't bought the house yet....

8:50 am

Uneaixoise

kje, there's no un5

8:50 am

EvaNadine

i was unlucky enough to have to refinance my house 2 years ago to pay off an assessment from my HOA, but i was smart enough to roll my student loans into that refinance, so now im free of student loans!

8:50 am

kje

well - that does make it hard then..

kje

8:51 am

Uneaixoise

8:52 am

flosey

both 4s are followed by 2 vowels

8:52 am

kje

yes flosey - easier to find when looking for a REAL word - such as real words are in babble

8:52 am

redturtlehead

Yuck Eva. I actually have 2 mortgages, a big one and a little one, but, none of them are the kind that seem to be causing the housign market to be wierd

8:53 am

Uneaixoise

We kids (my Mom and Aunt Judy's) didn't think they looked identical (they really didn't as adults) but their mannerisms were eerily the same - the way they moved their hands or their expressions when they said certain things

My mom is a twin. The weirdest thing happened once when I was young. She woke up from a nap suddenly and grabbed her right arm. The first thing she said was that she had to call my aunt (her twin sister). Turns out my aunt had fallen down and broken her right arm. It still creeps me out today.

(spoken intro)
We've now reached the audience participation portion of our album. This is an old sing-a-long song and what we'd like for you to do is listen to the chorus of this song and then sing along with us. We'll go through it once and then you can sing with us.

(sung)
A sultan sat on his Oriental mat
With his harem in downtown Persia
He took a sip of coffee, just a drip
Then he said to his servant Ursa:
"Ahhh, curse ya, curse ya, curse ya!
That's the worst cup of coffee in Persia!"

CHORUS
'Caaaaaaaaaaaause
A
ll I want is a proper cup of coffee
Made in a proper copper coffee pot
I may be off my dot
But I want a proper coffee in a proper copper pot
Iron coffee pots and tin coffee pots
They are no use to me
If I can't have a proper cup of coffee in a proper copper coffee pot
I'll have a cup of tea!

(spoken)
Ya got it? Well, join right in!

(sung)
In days of old, when knights and men were bold
And whiskey was much cheaper
Ben Turpin rode to the coffee house and showed
His pistols to the keeper
He said, "Stand and deliver!
Can't you see that I'm all a-quiver!"

CHORUS

Now, Bonaparte knew that he was in the cart
When he lost that Waterloo fight
He gave his sword to Wellington, my lord
And he said, "Those British can half-fight!
Now you had your Waterloo, sir
Tell me what *sniff* am I having with you, sir?"

CHORUS (in bad French-sounding English)

(spoken)
Well, we didn't expect you to sing along with that last verse because, well,...it was in French. This is your last chance, though. It's the "People Magazine" version of the song and it goes like this:

(sung)
Now, King Solomon and his wife would carry on
When we heard in the ancient scandals,
He bought her lots of silver coffee pots
With diamond legs and handles
And said the Queen of Sheba,
"I'd rather have any old tea-ba!"

'Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaause (EVERYBODY!)

(sung three times, each time getting progressively faster)
All I want is a proper cup of coffee
Made in a proper copper coffee pot
I may be off my dot
But I want a proper coffee in a proper copper pot
Iron coffee pots and tin coffee pots
They are no use to me
If I can't have a proper cup of coffee in a proper copper coffee pot
I'll have a cup of tea
