And say it's a publicity stunt.
I'm walking backwards for Christmas,
To prove that I love you"

flosey: the reason I ask is because this is what helps me a lot: I imagine looking at my thoughts as a train that goes way too fast.

Hi Monkey

Hi Herin!

3:36 am

chickie: cleaning out the cache might work, followed by a reboot. After that, I wouldn't know either.

3:36 am

MonkeyGames

Hi Chickie!

3:36 am

sprite

MonkeyG, didn't you say it was something Californian?

3:37 am

herinfernallady

Chickie your pc may have too many cookies

3:37 am

chickieo8

I'LL try that,thanks..lol

3:37 am

MonkeyGames

That is my theory, because Danny got mildly ill with it, I never got it, and your the incubation period matched Walter's IF we picked it up there. All that plus how many are sick at your end implies that Danny and I have previous exposure and the rest of you (Walter and your family) not. It all POINTS to it coming back with us!

3:38 am

Angelsong

hi, all. my husband just told me he had a dream that I was very happy Babbling, because there were over 550 words in the grid...

3:38 am

3:42 am

MonkeyGames

Ooppppss!!!!!

3:43 am

sprite

that is the way of viruses, MonkeyG. And with a good enough resistance we wouldn't have gotten ill, so don't feel bad, please. Things always happen for a reason.

3:43 am

sprite

I really mean it when I say Caya has matured in the last 2 weeks.

3:43 am

8:07 am

Mom

oh dear

8:07 am

8:07 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I kayaked 4 times. Yesterday I biked to the park and read next to the pond. My New Jersey sister left yesterday and then my local sister and her oldest son came down here yesterday afternoon and are still sleeping upstairs. We watched season 4 of "The Office" and laughed til it hurt.

8:10 am

But I am 49 and I started being truly happy and liberated of "angst" just in the last 10 yrs or less.

8:10 am

hurshy

what was the turning point

8:11 am

Scrabbler

Hurshy, you are in a different stage of life--still with uncertainties.

8:11 am

periwinkle

I know there is ra7/8 and ta7/8 but cannot see them. clues please

8:11 am

hurshy

aren't there always uncertainties?

8:12 am

FMitch

Never a truer word Scrabs dear, re yr 8.10 post.
Hello to all, have been submerged in the see of green and yellow.

8:13 am

hurshy

the holy see of green and yellow *grin*

8:13 am

FMitch

Hi peri - they are umm unusual compunds that end on a hi score 3 letter word

8:13 am

Scrabbler

Perhaps my faith in myself and God got strong enough that I feel that I, with God and friends, can handle anything. I have dealt with enough adversity and challenges that I know who I am and that I am strong.

8:13 am

periwinkle

ok, will look for compounds, thanks FM

8:14 am

Jacula

Hi everyone. Peri - ta7 and plural 8 = what a plane does to get into the air. ra7 & 8 use a garden implement first but end the same as the t words.

8:15 am

FMitch

The older I get the better I understand myself and I found that to be my key.

8:15 am

Scrabbler

Yes, the Holy See--the Pope sets up these grids, right?

8:15 am

hurshy

i think i can handle things, within reason... i mean, i dunno about torture or whatever, but, ordinary life... but the knowing who i am part is still missing

8:15 am

Scrabbler

Hi Jacula

8:15 am

periwinkle

thanks Jac, and FM, never would have found them

8:15 am

FMitch

LOL Scrabs

Afternoon Jacs :)

8:16 am

It takes life experience to know who you are and to adopt a world view or philosophy.

8:16 am

hurshy

oh yeah, i hold a ra7 with my neighbors every autumn...

8:16 am

FMitch

Sometimes you ahve to stop analysing and just live it.

8:17 am

FMitch

If I questioned everything I did esp recently I would go nuts. (OK nuttier) :)

8:17 am

hurshy

i don't question everything i do so much as i just don't do anything.

8:17 am

8:18 am

Scrabbler

It helps to accept that life is unfair and not easy. I have stopped fighting against the things that I cannot change. I can only control MY thoughts and behaviors, no one elses.

8:18 am

Jacula

FIREWORKS for me.:-)

8:18 am

Scrabbler

Yahooo Jacula!

8:18 am

FMitch

Yay congrats Jacs!

8:19 am

8:20 am

Jacula

Happy Babbling.

8:21 am

FMitch

It's that sort of day Jacs, I've been soing similar'ish

8:21 am

Scrabbler

When you finish, Jacula, will you come over here and help me with those chores too?

8:21 am

Jacula

Sorry Scrabbs - you'll have to do your own.

8:22 am

Jacula

We've discovered that a window in my daughter's old room needs replacing - the seal has gone in the double-glazed pane and it's full of condensation.:( Wondering whether to have all-house window change.

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Are you done struggling with childhood and family issues, Hurshy?

8:23 am

hurshy

nope

8:23 am

FMitch

A double glaszing salesman is going to love you Jacs

8:23 am

Jacula

I'd better go. See you all tomorrow.

8:23 am

Scrabbler

I have a window like that too but fortunately it is a downstairs bathroom window so I don't care.

8:23 am

hurshy

jacs, do you know how much that costs? i have a door with a broken seal wondering if i can afford to replace

8:23 am

Scrabbler

Then you still have to accept things as they were/are, hursh.

8:24 am

sadie52

When you move past that stuff, Hursh, you will be more freed up to be you the adult.

8:24 am

Scrabbler

Hi sadie

8:25 am

hurshy

is it like pushing over a vending machine? sometimes i feel like i've accepted things but then i slip back into not. do you have to like, rock it a few times?

8:26 am

Scrabbler

TY, FM.

8:26 am

FMitch

Well do4 Scrabs it took me to 40's to do that

8:27 am

hurshy

it's hard to work on both accepting the past and grappling with the present at the same time

8:27 am

FMitch

Thank you lickety for Fireworks!!

8:27 am

Scrabbler

8:37 am

Scrabbler

8:38 am

Scrabbler

Haha, great description, Husrhy.

morning GreyWoulf

8:39 am

hurshy

2 fish, 3.5 nonfish

8:39 am

hurshy

oh dear, i should be adding halves to both counts

8:39 am

hurshy

now i've lost track

8:40 am

GreyWoulf

I am just stopping in to say hi while on my way to get directions to Six Flags

8:41 am

hurshy

reconstructed, 3.5 fish, 4.5 nonfish

8:41 am

Scrabbler

Hi Grey Woulf!!

8:41 am

hurshy

3.5, 5.5

8:42 am

Scrabbler

How do you define a half-fishy word?

8:42 am

hurshy

oh, pf4 for instance

8:42 am

hurshy

words that i COULD have gotten but don't really blame myself for not getting

8:43 am

hurshy

4.5, 5.5

8:43 am

GreyWoulf

I also thought I would take the opportunity to update any of the (for me) morning babblers who hadn't heard about my mother in law

8:43 am

hurshy

6.5, 5.5 is the final tally, shoot. i hate when fishy outnumbers nonfishy

8:44 am

GreyWoulf

for those unaware, last week she had a heart attack that put her in the hospital over the weekend.

8:44 am

Scrabbler

TY for the pf clue

8:45 am

Scrabbler

Uh, oh, GW, how is she doing?

8:45 am

GreyWoulf

She was admitted Friday morning and discharged on Monday morning, so overall she got off fairly lucky -- they had to install two stents to restore proper blood flow and she is doing fine

8:45 am

Scrabbler

So you are done, hurshy? Congrats!!

8:45 am

Scrabbler

Yes, she is lucky.

8:45 am

hurshy

give her our best wishes, gw

8:46 am

GreyWoulf

She just finds that she gets tired a bit more quickly than she used to, but overall she is pretty much the same person that went into the hospital -- just a bit more willing to listen to her daughter, the nurse, about getting pain checked out by the medical professionals

8:47 am

GreyWoulf

Thanks, hurshy -- I will do that -- she has been very impressed by the support that everyone has been expressing since last week

8:51 am

GreyWoulf

So I hate to pop in and out like this, but I need to get the family ready for our trip -- the company picnic this year is to Six Flags and this time I want to get there in time for lunch

8:51 am

Scrabbler

It is scary stuff to have heart problems.

8:51 am

Scrabbler

Enjoy the day, GW.

8:52 am

GreyWoulf

Last year it was at Hershey Park and due to traffic and poor scheduling by the park, by the time we got there, lunch was over

8:52 am

sadie52

best wishes to your mother-in-law GreyWoulf have fun at six flags

8:53 am

GreyWoulf

Thanks again to everyone, and please share the good news with those who ask -- I had been hoping to catch FMitch this morning, but she left just before I got here

8:53 am

GreyWoulf

{{{***Hugs***}}} for all

*poof*

9:00 am

AsGreen

awww, too bad I missed GreyWoulf! We had hubby's company party at six flags yesterday!

9:01 am

Scrabbler

Hi asg

9:01 am

Scrabbler

I just drove past our local Six Flags a few days ago.

9:02 am

AsGreen

It was a blast... fortunately my kids were still a bit too short for Kingda Ka, so I got to be cool and go on El Toro with them, and not be uncool by not going on Kingda Ka!

9:02 am

AsGreen

Hi Scrabs - we don't overlap much in here anymore! I'm not doing the grid - too big, and too lovely a day - was just popping in to see the size

9:03 am

Scrabbler

I am going to stop when I get to halfway---10 more.

9:04 am

AsGreen

good for you Srabs - enjoy it! I'm off - coffee and then pick-up at religious school - then some outside time for all! ttyl - hagd!

9:04 am

Scrabbler

Bye, asg.

9:06 am

Scrabbler

I am past halfway, so time for the newspaper and breakfast. Good bye lurkers.

9:06 am

MonkeyGames

Bye!

9:09 am

Scrabbler

Hi MG--I checked back to see if any lurkers revealed themselves. How are you and Walter doing?

9:10 am

MonkeyGames

OK. Walter just had his birthday, the forst day of school (always the day after the 4th birthday) and then his borthday party. Today we rest! Well, we try...

9:12 am

Marmar

Hi Monkey! I'm lucking too, we have 10 little girls here celebrating Natalie's 9th birthday. They are all in watching a Flipper movie so I have a rest for a few minutes.

9:12 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, what fun!

9:12 am

Marmar

Hope Walter had a WONDERFUL time on his special days.

9:12 am

Marmar

Oh, I'm "lurking" not lucking...

9:13 am

MonkeyGames

Hey Scrabbs, did you hear Walter gave his mystery virus to Sprite's whole family?

9:13 am

Scrabbler

Hi Marmar.

9:13 am

Marmar

Hi Scrabs

9:13 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, MG!!

9:13 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, Marmar, he had a great time, including at school. They said they've never seen a kid adjust and dive in quite so fast. He's still talking about it. He starts for teh full week tomorrow.

9:14 am

Scrabbler

How exciting to start preschool.

9:14 am

MonkeyGames

Yup. Rob's OK, but Sprite and both kids ahve been ill for some time. All the same symptoms, blood tests showing nothihg.

9:14 am

Scrabbler

I really must go now--blood sugar is plummeting and I need breakfast.

9:14 am

MonkeyGames

I have decoided we must have brought it from CA. They got it the same amount of time after we visited that we had been back when Walter fell ill, so the incubation period supports that.

9:14 am

Scrabbler

Bye everyone.

9:14 am

Marmar

Oh that's great....so young but good for him. You know the Germans, they wait until the kids are "ripe" sometimes they are overripe!

9:15 am

MonkeyGames

lso my husband got the sore throat but nothing else, I didn't get sick.

9:15 am

MonkeyGames

OK, bye!

9:15 am

Marmar

Bye Scrabs, guten appetite.

9:16 am

Marmar

Or should I say Gluten appetite!

9:16 am

MonkeyGames

For the record, if you scroll back, the way I am clear and Danny didn;t et much gives me the idea that we had already been exposed; we are from CA, so that would exlain why all these Dutch people, including Walter, are so hard hit.

9:17 am

MonkeyGames

Hey Marmar, do you have the ca5/12 right after teh things beans come in?

9:17 am

Marmar

...or gluctose appetite...I'm taking it too far, aren't I?

9:17 am

MonkeyGames

Maybe...

9:18 am

Marmar

Yes Monk

9:18 am

MonkeyGames

Can you clue it? It's driving me absolutely mad!

9:18 am

Marmar

Do you need a clue?

9:19 am

Marmar

Has to do with music and po4/5-ry

9:20 am

MonkeyGames

Thought I had all those... hmmmm. Looking...

9:20 am

MonkeyGames

Thing beans come in plus not from? Have that.... what am I not seeing?

9:20 am

Marmar

and the ca6/21 is it plural

9:21 am

MonkeyGames

Have it, then. No, I need another ca5/12. Oh well. Thanks, though!

9:21 am

Marmar

oh, that's what I was talking about. Is there another one? I never use the list anymore.

9:21 am

MonkeyGames

I went to the list with 20 left. Now I have 18 left... This one's my last C. Sigh.

9:22 am

MonkeyGames

OK, howzabout the first do5/12?

9:22 am

MonkeyGames

Not the recipient of a gratuity, that I have.

9:23 am

cameron51us

monkey, add a vowel to the bean containers

9:23 am

MonkeyGames

Woohoo! Thanks! C's gone.

9:24 am

MonkeyGames

Would've sworn I tried that. Clearly not!

9:24 am

MonkeyGames

ho5/12 that isn't sharpens?

9:24 am

Marmar

no, I'm still puzzled about the ca...I have the bean holder, then the one that sound like 'unable to', then the music and rhymed verse...

9:24 am

joshuavorbis

good morning - got 150 without the list, i'm going to take it to the LIMIT without lickety

9:25 am

MonkeyGames

Cameron just clued it, Marmar.

9:25 am

MonkeyGames

Hi Josh!

9:26 am

Marmar

clearly, I've been stupified by all these little guests running around here all day...I gotta go take care of them now. Bye everyone!

9:26 am

MonkeyGames

Have fun!

FMitch

Sprite sent Walter some puffy kitty stickers that arrived during the party, too. Really made his day.

10:12 am

joshuavorbis

i accept that challenge

10:13 am

westford

were Walter's presents enough to make up for the lost orange lid?

10:13 am

FMitch

Go josh!

10:13 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, when I was little we just drove down to Mexico and bought one! Now I'd have to fly for 14 hours.... So I made it.

10:13 am

MonkeyGames

I did that! The list challenge, I mean. Was NOT easy.

10:14 am

htbois440

10:15 am

MonkeyGames

Soooo... sn5/20? The one right after "the hunting of the " critter

10:15 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, made up entirely for (since forgotten) lid. No, Sprite and family are still too ill with Walter's Mystery Virus, sadly.

10:15 am

MonkeyGames

Walter is of course fully over it, himself.

10:16 am

westford

she said she didn't think they'd make it although Caya seems to be feeling better

10:16 am

Ah, thanks!

12:46 pm

MonkeyGames

Ottthhhheeerrrrr Mmmmmooonnnnkkkkeeeyyyyy!!

12:46 pm

lil*monkey

MonkeyG, how's your back????

12:47 pm

Boobear

can I get help with that ra 7/68 I can't find it?

12:47 pm

MonkeyGames

MUCH better, but not recovered enough for some activities. Problem is I only have four more treatments before I run out of insurane. We can switch to a better insurer in January...

12:48 pm

MonkeyGames

Boobear, "stewardesses prepare for ....." but start it with an R instead.

12:48 pm

lil*monkey

monkeyG, see if your therapist will let you spread out those four remaining treatments for maximum potential... like go once a wekk for 4 more weeks

12:49 pm

MonkeyGames

You know that massage thing you folks do that actually pulps muscle? I have lots of big blue spots on my back now... but I don't limp and i can sit in normal chairs...

12:49 pm

MonkeyGames

that. I go tomorrow, then next Monday, etc.

12:49 pm

MonkeyGames

I have exercises, too.

12:49 pm

MonkeyGames

That was supposed to say, "Already doing..." etc.

12:50 pm

MonkeyGames

So... ANYONE have the so5 and 6 right after the ship-pinger beep, beep word? They're my Last Two!

12:50 pm

lil*monkey

OK good for you, mG! :) sorry you have blue spots but it sounds like you're on the road to recovery

12:51 pm

MonkeyGames

Definitely. And I can handle the blue spots except when he makes the samd spot bluer the next week... ouch! But I have a high pain tolerance, that's how I end up letting things get really bad before I get treatment.

12:51 pm

JBV

hi, monkeys! so 5 is the same first three letters of the pinging word + spanish "of" (Don Quijote ** la Mancha)

12:52 pm

MonkeyGames

How did I miss those on all these tries???? Thank you and fireworks!!!!!!

12:52 pm

JBV

congrats, MonkeyGames!

12:53 pm

Boobear

got it Monkey. ty vm

12:53 pm

MonkeyGames

Thanks! Don't get to it much these days so it's nice. Took most of today "off, you see, to recover fromWalter's whirlwind week last week and restore a sense of normalcy around here. Whatever that is.

12:53 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh good, boobear!

12:56 pm

MonkeyGames

My phantom of the day has been "fetish".

12:56 pm

Boobear

I tried that too

12:57 pm

MonkeyGames

And tendon.

12:57 pm

torgone

festoon ..

12:57 pm

MonkeyGames

Good one!

12:59 pm

Boobear

I found a sn word that I used to play along time ago

12:59 pm

JBV

can I have a clue for the p in the corner - I have po 4 and 5 (a pair)

1:00 pm

MonkeyGames

And of course my eyes INSIST on looking for more words when I have them all. Sigh. I will soon muster up the wherewithal to go pack Walter's lunch for tomorrow (his first take-to-school lunch! His first full schoolweek!)

1:00 pm

MonkeyGames

Sure, one sec..

1:00 pm

MonkeyGames

Ahhh, you need pf4.

1:01 pm

MonkeyGames

Not kidding. If you need a further clue, which is likely, let me know.

1:01 pm

JBV

have fun, MonkeyGames - special lunchbox for the first school lunch?

1:01 pm

JBV

thanks, got it! and said it out loud when I did

1:02 pm

MonkeyGames

Dora! Found one that isn't all girly. He got a Diego backpack to carry it in for his birthday Thursday. Here they start public school the day after the fourth birthday.

1:02 pm

JBV

oh, that's interesting about the 4th birthday - so new students are coming in all year round, I guess

1:03 pm

JBV

that would create some minor chaos here - we have a very firm cut-off, must be 5 by Oct. 15 for Kindergarten

1:03 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes. Any that start too late to get the full advantage start again the next year in the same grade, but with an edge.

1:03 pm

harpjane

could someone give me a clue for the ta7/68 please?

1:03 pm

MonkeyGames

But with a September birthday Walter will always be one of the youngets kids in any given class.

1:03 pm

JBV

that sounds very reasonable, Monkey and very good for all

1:03 pm

dan2bit

harp - airplane start (compound word)

1:03 pm

MonkeyGames

Airplane leavingh the ground, Harp.

1:04 pm

MonkeyGames

Can start the same word with another letter for another 7, andpluralize both for 8's.

1:05 pm

MonkeyGames

I found Walter a FANTASTIC school, too!

1:06 pm

JBV

good for you - is the 4-year-old class considered pre-K or Kindergarten, or will he go two years before first grade?

1:06 pm

harpjane

thanks

1:06 pm

MonkeyGames

It's a public school, with 150 students. Very modern facilities, computers even for the tiny tots, big playground, emphasis on personaldevelopment, elements of learn-at-own-pace. The kids sit in circles, with more experienced kids paired with less.

1:07 pm

bfsog

if you had an invention which you wanted to be taken seriously where would you take it for advice/validation

1:07 pm

MonkeyGames

This is just called "class 1".

1:07 pm

MonkeyGames

It's equivalent to kindergatren.

1:07 pm

MonkeyGames

Very good question, bf. I'mnot sure, but let me know ehen you find out!

1:08 pm

JBV

sounds wonderful, Monkey, and of course the key element is the teacher who brings out the best in all these little ones - hope Walter loves her!

1:09 pm

MonkeyGames

Walter will attend this school until he is 12, then go to what they callmiddle school, where he will decide between a vocational, technical,or academic diploma. He will graduate at 16 with a two-year advantage over US students (which turned out to be a BIG hurdle when I applied for college here).

1:09 pm

MonkeyGames

He's only been to one day but he was very happy with her, and so was I.

1:09 pm

MonkeyGames

The headmaster is just lovely, too.

1:10 pm

JBV

So do most university students in the Netherlands begin at age 16 then? it's fine if they're all the same age

1:10 pm

MonkeyGames

Most of them take a year to backpack around Europe first.

1:10 pm

JBV

my son started college here at 17, one year younger than everyone else, created many problems

1:11 pm

MonkeyGames

I can see how that would. But they start there younger here, all of them.

1:11 pm

JBV

I love the idea of the gap year - I think my son would have benefited from that -

1:11 pm

MonkeyGames

So wouldI,I tell you! I coulduse one now, in fact...

1:12 pm

MonkeyGames

Akkk, heron nearly hit the window. Waht a lot of legs!

1:12 pm

MonkeyGames

Not as startling as the swan that nearly hit the windowlast year, though.

1:12 pm

MonkeyGames

My space bar appears to be unhappy.

1:13 pm

JBV

yikes, we had a robin hit the window here, made quite a thump (bird was OK)- can't imagine a heron!

1:13 pm

Reader951

could I have a clue for the en 7?

1:13 pm

Reader951

please

1:13 pm

JBV

is your house right on the water, Monkey?

1:13 pm

MonkeyGames

En7: last bit of text in a book, compound word

1:14 pm

Reader951

thank you and pass the fish

1:15 pm

MonkeyGames

No, but in the Netherlands one is never far fromit. We have the canal at one end of the street,the mini-canals by the cow foield at the other end, and on the other side of the houses behind outrs there is the nature preserve full of ponds and canals and streams and bogs.

1:15 pm

MonkeyGames

It's a short street, too.

1:16 pm

MonkeyGames

Not to mention the bulb fields just over there; they attract lots of things herons eat, like frogs. And the Egyptian geese gather in the cow field, as does our tiny flock of Canada geese. Moistly what we have now for geese though is big flocks of Brent geese on their way from somewhere else to somewhere else.

1:17 pm

MonkeyGames

Saw a red squirrel yesterday.

1:17 pm

MonkeyGames

That was in a tree at the edge o fthe dog woods.

1:17 pm

JBV

I live near a river and we see waterfowl there, too, but not in my immediate neighborhood - once in a while we see a hawk, I swear it's the same one I've been seeing for years - must find out what their lifespan is

1:18 pm

MonkeyGames

Around 20 years or so.

1:18 pm

JBV

omg, I just looked it up - 10-21 years!

1:19 pm

JBV

I call him "exit 10 Red" - lives around the New Jersey Turnpike exit - see him on the way to or from work

1:19 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes, they are not short lived.Our most exotic birds right here are the two macaws, 20+ years old, and their 1-year-old.

1:20 pm

MonkeyGames

Is he a Harris Hawk, then,or a redtail?

1:20 pm

JBV

red-tailed hawk

1:20 pm

MonkeyGames

Nice.

1:20 pm

MonkeyGames

Not even sure you get Harris hawks there... but they're red.

1:22 pm

MonkeyGames

OK, time to call my grandfather, packWalter's lunch, take the dog out, and get ready for bed! Anyone need any last minute clues?

1:22 pm

Dorens

Thank you, MetFan. I'll tell her you said so. It'll compensate a bit for the fact that we always tell her she's an idiot! lol

Awww, she's so cute....

3:14 pm

Vicuna

=)

3:15 pm

MetFan

...even if she's dumb, so what!!!

3:16 pm

But she comes when I whistle, so her little walnut-sized brain is good for that, at least.

3:16 pm

MetFan

Cute compensates for all else....

3:17 pm

In cats, at least. Not so much in people.

gapeach1066@yaho

Pam, I am so sorry for your loss.

5:12 pm

pam

I got home from work and found her by her food dish. She was a few weeks over 18 years old. She had been radiated a few years ago for her thyroid but seemed pretty well adjusted...

5:12 pm

pam

thanks, gapeach

5:13 pm

elder

Awful for all of you who have lost their pets or comforting them during their frailness.

5:13 pm

Dorens

oh ((pam)) sorry to hear that

5:13 pm

chickieo8

Kittys bring a lot of peace in life........lol

5:13 pm

pam

thanks, elder adn dorens

5:13 pm

Judi

That's sad, Pam. 18 is an exceptional long life for a cat, though. Bless her little heart.

5:13 pm

pugmama763

at least she lived a good long life in a good loving home ..... rest her soul

5:14 pm

pk

hi pam - sorry for your loss. one of my cats has the thyroid issue. would you rec. the radiation treatment?

5:14 pm

pam

thanks, all....

5:14 pm

Judi

That's what damaged my kitty's heart - high fever from the thyroid (undiagnosed before the fever). Arrg.

5:14 pm

pam

yes, pk, I would. It was cheaper over the long haul than the meds and quarterly testing

5:15 pm

pam

Sorry, judi....

5:15 pm

Dorens

so how are you doing pam?

5:15 pm

Pinikula

to5,12
to6,21 ... last 2 plz

5:16 pm

Judi

I've heard the radiation if 100% effective.

5:16 pm

Judi

*is*

5:17 pm

pam

don't ask today, dorens! I threw my back adjusting the shower temp, I miss my cat, and the dog is needing new meds, including Prednisone for a short course, so I will have to deal with her being a pee machine....

5:17 pm

pam

It really worked great, judi

5:18 pm

Dorens

my good friend's dog is on prednisone right now... fortunately they can let him stay in the garage and roam outside (they have a fenced in large property).. i know what you mean. anyway, chin up.. this too shall pass... rest that back tho

5:18 pm

Judi

Should I ever have another cat with a thyroid problem, I'll go that route.

5:19 pm

mkg

ty pinik for that clue. got it.

5:19 pm

pam

thanks, dorens! It isn't safe to keep dogs around here outdoors--theft, weather--and I don't like the notion of a dog outdoors unsupervised, so I think i will be cleaning her crate a lot...

5:20 pm

Pinikula

yw mkg

5:20 pm

Dorens

no, i realize that - they fortunately live out in the woods in a safe area... with their fence particularly. HEY.. i just got back from a walk in the woods and a young bear ran in front of us, across the path. he was amazingly fast

5:20 pm

pk

mine with the thyroid problem is almost 15. the vet said $2,500 for the radiation. Seems a little on the high side. Her pills are maybe $20 for a 3 month supply.

5:20 pm

pugmama763

i've got the best of both. doggie door leading to fenced area with no gate

5:20 pm

MetFan

There are so many people who love and dote on their pets and treat them like the fur kids they are, it sucks that we always hear about the other end of the spectrum, the ones that abuse.....

5:21 pm

Judi

Cool, Dorens! Where do you live?

5:21 pm

pugmama763

yes all the border line sociopaths with no regard for other living beings

5:21 pm

Dorens

northern new jersey.. they were all but extinct here 25 years ago

5:22 pm

pk

but i've got a greyhound with the opposite problem, too bad i can't do a blood transfer and even them both out!

5:22 pm

Judi

Wow! I'm in northern Delaware. No bears here - too crowded with humans.

5:23 pm

pam

Wow, dorens!!! that's cool

5:23 pm

mkg

od 5 clue please?

5:24 pm

mkg

nm got it.

5:24 pm

pam

The radiation was 900. The pills would have cost whatever, but then there is quarterly blood panels with the pills. Yani was 14 I think when we did it--the radiation ended up being far cheaper.

5:24 pm

Dorens

it really was.. he was far enough away for it to feel totally safe, but close enough to see well. at first i thought it was a large black dog offleash. this was more fun.

5:24 pm

Pinikula

a type of poem + not off, but **

5:24 pm

pk

sounds like i need to find a different vet who charges less!

5:24 pm

Pinikula

My thoughts go out to those who are feeling down; cheers to all regardless...2 more to finish, but will have to wait until I return...ttfn
*poof*

5:25 pm

pam

I agree, Met. We hear about all of the horrors. But there is a lot of benign neglect--dogs outdoors with no water, shelter; dogs not getting enough exercise, etc. Not to mention all of the chained dogs...

5:25 pm

pk

it's true those blood test are quite expensive.

5:25 pm

pam

Thanks pini

5:25 pm

Dorens

gotta run.. to 5/12 please please

5:25 pm

mkg

ra 7 68 please?

5:26 pm

pk

my town recently passed a city ordinance that dogs may not be tied up, ever! makes me proud of my town.

5:26 pm

Dorens

found it fireworks bye all!

5:26 pm

pam

pk--I went to a radiocat where that's what they do. If there is such a place near you, it is cheaper than a vet

5:26 pm

Judi

Very progressive, PK. What town is that?

5:26 pm

pam

office or a hospital

5:26 pm

That is great PK. There are great websites, like off the chain, that are working on getting the word out

8:51 pm

Jacula

Now you're all bright-eyed again perhaps we can play some faster paced word games? Incidentally, our Scrabulous game seems to be frozen. Same thing has just happened to a new game Hydra and I just started on there.:(

8:51 pm

pam

Everyone I know who has had cataract surgery is pleased with the results

8:51 pm

dcseain

nonce is such a nice word.

8:51 pm

dcseain

Hi Jill to.

8:59 pm

9:00 pm

dcseain

9:00 pm

herinfernallady

I have always lived in houses with windows being either floor to celling or hip height

9:00 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

you put the kids near the windows so they can get out when you light the house on fire by smoking in your sleep. right?

9:01 pm

dcseain

my mom's house is like that, too, Jac.

9:01 pm

Jacula

In Victorian times, they put metal bars on the inside of children's rooms.

9:01 pm

dcseain

wherefore, jac?

9:01 pm

Jacula

Different world to some of us then, Herin.

9:01 pm

I'm watching my "Must" TV programme -- 60 Minutes

9:15 pm

Jacula

Speaking of calling a cat Beryl (which I do understand but would sound quite weird here in UK since it's an old ladies' name) I was watching Bruce Parry on his journey down the Amazon river last week and he met a Peruvian lady somewhere up high in the mountains and her name was Gladys. Her daughter was called Rosemary. That is weird.

9:15 pm

AprilD

my cats are Woody and Tippy. It rolls off the throat when you are calling them "Woody woody woody". He always comes to that

9:15 pm

AprilD

doh, hanks Pini, that was a fish

April - if you stood shouting 'Woody' outside here in UK, you'd get a queue of testosterone filled males of all ages queueing up outside.:(

9:16 pm

When the kids lived at home, we had 2 hampsters...Q-Tip & Cotton Ball

Book Doctor Gwen

i used to have menagerie of gerbils, all names after different types of cloud

9:17 pm

AprilD

Jac, it isn't quite that illustrious a name here, but it can mean the same thing. He just liked the wood pile as a kitten and it just fit. (plus he had a woody)

9:17 pm

Jacula

It used to amuse me when a neighbour yelled for her dog, 'BRANDY!' she'd repeatedly shout, like a desperate alcoholic.

9:17 pm

My Susie had a great name to call, just like the Australian Cooooo-eee! (the ee! goes way up)

9:27 pm

jillibus

My hamster, Irving, sired a litter by our other hamster whose name I forget. She ate the babies even though we secluded her the way They said to.

9:27 pm

Jacula

Pink - if you are dyslexic (silly word to use for people wo can't spell etc.) you may be like My Other Half and see the simpler words that I missed and also the weird spellings of words.

9:27 pm

AprilD

oh but fluffy and whiskers! how cute! I mean, those are gimme names but still, cute!

9:27 pm

Jacula

Our gerbil, Bazil, used to love watcing the police series 'The Bill' on TV. He'd stand up atop his little wooden house in his tank to watch it. We didn't always watch it but would leave it on for him to watch, since he burrowed up so eagerly when he heard the theme tune.

9:32 pm

Pinikula

Jac...that sounds like what Q-Tip did to Cotton Ball...I'll leave it at that.

9:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

9:36 pm

Jacula

Well, Gwen, he was a lone gerbil, and you're not supposed to keep just one alone. I guess TV was his only comfort.

9:36 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

or perhaps something about the soundtrack appealed to his little gerbil ears?

9:36 pm

Jacula

Maybe. LOL.

9:37 pm

The cooker I have is convenient, it has an eye level grill, a hob with 4 burners below that, then an oven and then a drawer for the baking trays, roasting tins etc. I want a range cooker with 6 burners, 2 ovens, a drawer and an eye level grill. Need to win the lottery to get that, though.

Gwen, that reminds me of my 5 or 6 year old attempt to interpretTthe Lord's Prayer. Give us this day our daily bread - I imagined the twinny loaf the baker used to deliver and thanked him for delivering it. Forgive us our trespassses.. There was a sign by the chicken man (who was a friend of ours)' chicken shed... 'Trespassers will be prsecuted'. I asked forgiveness, since I didn't know what trespasses were every time I went in there. Forgive those that trespass against us, I also included in that. For thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory... well,. I'd watched the Queen get crowned.
