Andree

well i was pretty pleased when i found it so you should be too

3:01 am

sprite

I was especially glad it was a real word :)

3:03 am

sprite

lol, and I found it because I was looking for the lone T in the bottom left corner. Which is still not grey.

3:04 am

sprite

(not asking for clue, happily blundering around)

3:04 am

Andree

i know sprite its usually you giving us clues

3:05 am

3:35 am

Haz1558

Welcome back, Ata.

3:36 am

hurshy

oh what a cute yawning sily

3:36 am

Atalante

Hobbit shall have a proper walk later to compensate for the indignities she will have to undergo later today

3:36 am

Atalante

she has far too many whiskers when she yawns!

3:36 am

Haz1558

Are we talking vet's visit for posterior proddings?

3:36 am

Atalante

that's the one

3:37 am

Atalante

and to go and assess a small lump she has that I'm absolutely sure is just a fatty lump, but it's better to go and check

3:38 am

Haz1558

Yes, better be on the safe side.

3:38 am

Atalante

she's going to hate me!

3:39 am

Haz1558

But stand firm. It's for her own good. Perhaps an extra spoonful of gruel this morning?

3:39 am

Atalante

maybe. if she's really good

3:40 am

Atalante

the nice thing is that the vets is just a few minutes from the beach, so I always go straight down there and let her have a 5 minute madspell

3:40 am

Haz1558

I'm sure she will be if she knows that there's an extra spoonful in store.

3:40 am

sprite

wb Ata, was afk myself for a few minutes

3:40 am

Atalante

I don't know ... she just tried to dig up the driveway ...

3:44 am

FMitch

3:47 am

Haz1558

FMitch - have you been watching the Stephen Fry in America series?

3:48 am

FMitch

Yes, is't it great!

3:48 am

Atalante

I watched an awfully funny programme about bad dancing

3:48 am

FMitch

Mum has just stated rading his autobiography, Im next on the list to borrow it.

3:48 am

Haz1558

It really is very enjoyable. He could recite the phone directory and I'd listen, but his commentary is so much more entertaining than that!

3:49 am

FMitch

and there is a new series of QI starting um this month I think

3:49 am

Atalante

I'm waiting to see the whole thing at once when he's finished. I dont know why, I just feel like watching it that way

3:49 am

Atalante

I want to see the episode he's in Oregon though

3:49 am

FMitch

3:52 am

sprite

3:52 am

FMitch

thanks :( Hi rep

3:52 am

Haz1558

3:53 am

3:55 am

sprite

3:55 am

sprite

that is what I said last night... same char, other icon. I love it.

3:55 am

FMitch

I forgot what the theme was today until I saw jilli type in the log 'nice knob you have there' to flosey.

3:55 am

Atalante

loooooooool

3:55 am

sprite

lolol FM

3:56 am

FMitch

4:01 am

Atalante

urf, electrician man is going to be here all day. I hate that. I can't nap or feel ill with someone else in the house!

4:02 am

sprite

that is awful, Ata. *sends crystal shell to put around Ata to keep electricity man out*

4:02 am

FMitch

Whats he doing Ata?

4:02 am

Haz1558

That's probably why all those Victorian heroines with the vapours were able to get on with swooning - no electricians to cramp their style.

4:03 am

Atalante

um. I'm actually not quite sure. Something upstairs! Husband wants to do something or other to the lights in our bedroom, and I think it's a stupid idea, so I didn't listen to the details!

4:04 am

lynxxx

probably spotlights onto the mirror on the ceiling

4:05 am

FMitch

lol lynxxx

4:05 am

Atalante

he wants to get better lights in the room, and the room is in the oast turret so it has a really high ceiling, half way up are big old beams. I said to put spotlights under the beams. Sensible, yes?

4:05 am

Haz1558

Maybe disco lights?

4:05 am

Atalante

Oh no. He wants spotlights *above* the beams

4:06 am

Atalante

I stop listening at that point after telling him that was stupid

4:06 am

FMitch

Oh yes one of thos big morror balls!

4:06 am

FMitch

*mirror

4:06 am

Haz1558

Never stop listening to your husband, except when he's snoring.

4:06 am

FMitch

twose

4:07 am

FMitch

eek!

4:07 am

Atalante

well he refused to believe it was stupid lol so I just told him to get on with it. He can realise it's stupid and then do what I suggested in the first place

4:07 am

Haz1558

I can see it now. Coloured lights, mirrored ceiling, glitter ball descending from the ceiling. It'll be great. Really in keeping with an oast house.

4:07 am

lynxxx

TY FM!

4:08 am

Atalante

and then I'll just say I told you so and please listen to me in the first place!

4:08 am

FMitch

don't forget the flock wallpaper and guilded cherubs

4:08 am

loredana

Hello Babblers

4:09 am

Haz1558

Is Stringfelllow available for interior design hints?

4:09 am

Atalante

*gasp* my bedroom is beautiful. It's Wedgewood blue and off-white, and utterly beautiful :)

4:09 am

Haz1558

Good evening loredana.

4:09 am

lynxxx

hello Lore

4:09 am

LoriP

66 words? Yuk. G'd morning Babblers

4:09 am

Haz1558

And yet you allow your husband in there, Ata?

4:09 am

FMitch

Ata my bedroom is wedgewood blue too!!!

Hi lore and Lori

4:09 am

Haz1558

Good morning Lori. It's small but beautifully formed.

4:10 am

Atalante

but seriously, how do you expect lights to light one's reading material when shone upwards into a big turret? I dont' get it

4:10 am

Atalante

yayyy!

4:10 am

Haz1558

Wedgwood blue is all very well, but a few coloured lights will warm it up beautifully.

4:10 am

LoriP

Nothing a few well placed mirrors won't fix Ata.

4:11 am

Atalante

I do actually have a huge pink mirrorball, but D won't let me put it up LOL

4:11 am

Haz1558

If you painted the mirrorball Wedgwood blue?

4:11 am

LoriP

I'd set up a ridiculous matrix of mirrors, to a)irritate him and 2) make my point

4:12 am

lynxxx

hi Lori

4:12 am

FMitch

and you admit to owning a mirror ball in front of the whole world! *faints*

4:12 am

LoriP

***averts eyes from grid in hopes it gets bigger while I don't look at it***

4:12 am

Haz1558

All those mirrors would give him an advantage the next time he tries to cut his own hair.

4:12 am

Atalante

I have a very very bright powerful torch that I use to read by, and will continue to use after his stupid lights are put up. That will suitably annoy him!

4:12 am

Atalante

mirrorballs are good cat toys!

4:12 am

loredana

diddie wants her teddie

4:12 am

Atalante

like a million laser pointers at once!

4:13 am

FMitch

nice recovery there Ata

4:13 am

Atalante

*bows*

4:13 am

Haz1558

Ata - have you ever considered wearing a caver's light? Husband wears one when he's doing calvings etc at night when farm lights aren't enough.

4:13 am

Atalante

I do have one, actually!

4:14 am

Haz1558

Well, there you are! Bed-reading problem solved.

4:14 am

shift

4:56 am

Atalante

In the later part of the 1990s, 'paradigm shift' emerged as a buzzword, popularized as marketing speak and appearing more frequently in print and publication.[3] In his book, Mind The Gaffe, author Larry Trask advises readers to refrain from using it, and to use caution when reading anything that contains the phrase. It is referred to in several articles and books[4][5] as abused and overused to the point of becoming meaningless.

Atalante, I know that...it was while I was on firefox I sent a message to DrG and I dont have a firefox address and wouldnt take my aol address..so went back to aol...am I making sense here?

6:52 am

herinfernallady

You make sense Annie

6:53 am

Anniebrook

herin, thanks...i really appreciate that

6:54 am

Atalante

it should take your aol address, you should be able to write "sausages and mash" in there as your email cos its not an essential field. note - *should* :)

6:54 am

Atalante

and you don't have firefox email addys - just fyi! - you use whatever your email happens to be, whether hotmail, aol, gmail etc

6:55 am

Anniebrook

Ata, lol...okay...that is what I thought but I kept getting a warning in RED on top of page that my email address was invalid....I do not fight with computers ...they usually win...but will try again if needed

8:18 am

Book Doctor Gwen

8:18 am

harpjane

my theory is to wait and see if they are still singing it in 10 years, and THEN pay attention

8:18 am

EvaNadine

heh, funny video...

8:18 am

Haz1558

Was Simon Le Bon your pin-up, FM?

Atalante

I wish I'd been old enough to really be a New Romantic fangirl

8:20 am

Book Doctor Gwen

at Wordsplay there's no chat, but you can change your screen name as often as you want, so sometimes there are "wars" or "conversations" going on with screen names

8:20 am

FMitch

Yes Ata you could have done that look very well

8:20 am

crosshair

whew! that was fine!:))

8:21 am

Atalante

I'd have *loved* it. Just 3 or 4 years too young

8:22 am

FMitch

8:22 am

Vicuna

Very funny video, Ata! lol

8:22 am

crosshair

Vicuna

8:23 am

scribekd

crosshair

8:25 am

crosshair

crossy prepares to wallow in the gutter with the rest

8:25 am

FMitch

8:25 am

Haz1558

Yes, quiet - that's what we all crave from VI.

8:26 am

crosshair

and once you have all had enough of the gutter,come down to the sewer with ole crossy;)

8:26 am

FMitch

Haz - you realise she will be singing in the shower soon?

8:26 am

Haz1558

I know, but the noise of the water will muffle things.

8:27 am

crosshair

heres the big guitar sol
o...arroooooo!

8:27 am

EvaNadine

mmmm.....cuppa tea in the morning -- does a body good!
(dunno why stupid americans never really picked up on it....)

Atalante

8:27 am

crosshair

i only drink tea eva..coffee burns my tummy

8:27 am

EvaNadine

8:28 am

Atalante

tea is the best best thing

8:28 am

FMitch

wow crossy bring it on !

8:28 am

crosshair

i have a friend who thinks that tea is only for recovering invalids..funny guy

8:28 am

EvaNadine

i only drink coffee when im REALLY crashing...
and even then, its gonna be a latte or something else that covers up the coffee taste...

8:29 am

Atalante

like me and Pepsi Max! that's my I-need-to-stay-awake drink

8:30 am

crosshair

those carbonated dark pops will eat your stomach

8:30 am

Atalante

oh yes, is foul. but has enough caffeine in to make me bounce off the ceiling

8:31 am

FMitch

yeah stick with pure alcohol that will rot you but you won't care

8:31 am

crosshair

y brother drinks 4!!!! cans of coke with every meal!! is now 400 pounds....

8:31 am

EvaNadine

wearing the GORGEOUS necklace the BF got me for our anniversary (which we celebrated at the beach wile we were on holiday)
i believe the stone is tanzanite -- its bluish-purplish...

8:31 am

Atalante

ick!

8:31 am

crosshair

very nice eva;)

8:31 am

Haz1558

Tanzanite - can only be found in Tanzania - a fact I learned this summer.

8:32 am

Haz1558

And yes, it's blue/purple. What a lovely gift!

8:32 am

EvaNadine

my coworker (who is otherwise very thin + healthy) has a sickening drink when she really needs some help -- she will mix a starbucks frappuccino with a starbucks double-shot of espresso
*ugh*

8:32 am

FMitch

*bows to Haz's knowledge* How lovely EvaN!

8:32 am

crosshair

that cannot be good for a body eva

8:33 am

Haz1558

I had never known it before but that makes it quite special (the tanzanite, I mean)

8:33 am

EvaNadine

also a beautiful ring.
its a flip-ring with black on one side + white on the other...im thinking its faux onyx + mother of pearl (i doubt its real)
but its gorgeous also!
he really nailed my style with these. :)

8:33 am

crosshair

she is thin cause her heart is going 240 beats per min on all that caffene

8:33 am

EvaNadine

well, glad to know a bit more about the stone!
i always just thought it was pretty. :)

8:33 am

crosshair

eva was spoiled rotten;)

8:34 am

Haz1558

You never know, EvaN, he might have splashed out on the real goods.

8:34 am

EvaNadine

crossy -- thankfully, she *rarely* drinks coffee (or tea, or that hideous mixture i described)
but only when shes really dragging...
shes one of those people with a natural buzz...heh

8:34 am

Book Doctor Gwen

(peeks at the chat, has no idea what they're talking about, goes back to grid)

8:34 am

EvaNadine

haz, if i must say, i HOPE the ring is fake so hes saving up for a more expensive (and more meaningful!) ring.
;)

8:35 am

Haz1558

Oh, I love expensive and meaningful rings!

8:35 am

crosshair

caffene,jewelery,and lousy 80,s music that about caps it gwen

8:35 am

crosshair

if it means a lot to you eva,it does not matter the cost

8:35 am

EvaNadine

been 2 years now. the topic is discussed now + then. he even knows exactly what style ring i want.
just a matter now of him realizing its time. ;)

8:36 am

Haz1558

Steering him past every jewellery store in town would help.

8:36 am

Atalante

give it a yer or two then :P

8:36 am

EvaNadine

exactly true, crossy -- if anything, id prefer a smaller-ish stone to what many people i know have. i wouldnt be comfortable with a huge rock!

8:36 am

FMitch

ooooh EvaN I wanted to ask you that, do you think it might at soome time?

8:37 am

crosshair

i bought my wife a custom made stief-type bear for one of our anniversarys..thing cost 280 dollars and i never told her the price she loves it like the ten dollar bears i get her:)

8:37 am

Haz1558

It can depend as well on the size and shape of your hand. Also if you're going to wear the ring all the time, it needs to be not too fancy in structure.

8:37 am

FMitch

Thats the best crossy, mine did similar for me

8:37 am

EvaNadine

well, he did say at the beach that he wouldnt have done it there because it would have been too expected + he really wanted to surprise me.
but i also know he is TERRIBLE at saving up money, so part of me thinks he hasnt even started the process yet...

8:38 am

crosshair

just enjoy the baubbles and give him a exra kiss at night;)

8:38 am

Haz1558

So, has he already proposed, or is he going to have to find a spectacular way of popping the question?

8:38 am

FMitch

but the intention might be there none the less EvaN? Do we hear wedding beels some time?

8:38 am

crosshair

ohh the big question coming up?

8:39 am

EvaNadine

no idea if its gonna be any time soon...im in the dark. :)

8:39 am

FMitch

but would you say yes if he asked!

8:39 am

crosshair

my wife proposed to me....crossy was shy:))

8:39 am

Haz1558

You want to give us his e-mail address so that we can mount a campaign?

8:39 am

EvaNadine

being that he didnt do it on our anniversary, im guessing christmas (december) and my bday and v-day (february) are probably out of the question too

8:40 am

Haz1558

I never had a proposal. We just 'knew'.

8:40 am

FMitch

awe

8:41 am

KatieMcG

afternoon everyone....so did we Haz, Hubby asked Dad's permission and that was it

8:41 am

EvaNadine

hah, he already knows id say yes. :)

8:41 am

Haz1558

My daughters can't understand such a concept.

8:41 am

Haz1558

My dad was already dead at that stage, sadly. We just kind of knew we would get married.

8:42 am

harpjane

could someone clue the te6/27?

8:42 am

KatieMcG

We talked how rather than if

8:42 am

Haz1558

I feel sorry for men being put under pressure to make romantic proposals etc.

8:43 am

Book Doctor Gwen

want points for dwuid waaaaaaaa

8:43 am

EvaNadine

i dont even need a proposal over-the-top.
i just want something thats meaningful and memorable to us.

8:43 am

KatieMcG

A woman at work has just got engaged after here H2B had been asking for 3 years, can't imagine making Bry wait like that, or wanting to

8:43 am

mixi6

past tense of t. kennedy

8:43 am

harpjane

i say if they can spit the words out and you love them, say yes!

8:44 am

harpjane

thanks

8:44 am

Haz1558

So, you don't necessarily want a hot air balloon and accompanying angel choirs, EvaN?

8:44 am

Atalante

just ask him. easiest way to make it how you want it!

8:44 am

crosshair

wife and i 'went steady" for 2 years and then she popped the question;) nice change i thought rather than me agonizing over it;)

8:45 am

crosshair

but i still had to buy the ring!;/

8:46 am

EvaNadine

heh, nah. something like that would certainly be an amazing story, but i dont need it. :)

8:46 am

Haz1558

Naturellement!

8:46 am

harpjane

i think public marriage proposals are a bit goofy, like calling someone from the Oprah show, etc. because you know the person is going to say yes even if they take it back later

8:47 am

EvaNadine

and for anyone who is interested, this is pretty much the style of ring ive pointed out to him:
http://cdn.overstock.com/images/p
roducts/P11515939.jpg

8:47 am

Haz1558

I should make a note for the e-mail address campaign....

8:48 am

FMitch

very elegant EvaN

8:48 am

harpjane

could someone clue the ot? i didn't get it earlier

8:48 am

KatieMcG

Ask him EvaN, as long as you are both happy who cares who raised the subject

8:49 am

Anniebrook

ot----ear inflammation

8:49 am

EvaNadine

at some point, maybe i will ask him. but im a bit traditional, so i still wanna give him the chance to ask me -- i know he would prefer it that way too!

8:49 am

FMitch

B insisted we got a ring but I cound't find one I wanted so I designed one and had it made instead, recycled gold I had and now I have a unique ring.

8:50 am

harpjane

thanks and bbl

8:50 am

Anniebrook

and I am back again, hello everyone

8:51 am

Anniebrook

FM, what a lovely idea..

8:51 am

Haz1558

Hello Annie!

8:51 am

KatieMcG

I sat next to a couple in a restaurant the other week and she gave him a present inside was a message in a bottle and she had asked him to marry her.........

8:51 am

Haz1558

And it's very nice!

8:51 am

EvaNadine

my good friend + her hubby were HS sweethearts.
they were married for almost 10 years before she got an engagement ring...hah

8:51 am

KatieMcG

He said ye and there were tears all round, it was lovely

8:51 am

Anniebrook

Hi Haz!

8:51 am

Haz1558

(FM's ring I mean)

8:52 am

EvaNadine

i saw a proposal on TV that was pretty awesome:

8:53 am

Haz1558

Waiting for the awesome proposal....

8:53 am

EvaNadine

they were planning dates for each other, but she didnt know he was really planning a proposal.
she got her best friend to help her set up a beach picnic + bury a pocket watch for him. she created a map to give to him that led him to her, where they would first go hang gliding, then it led him to the picnic.
she told him to dig where the "X" was + he found the watch...

8:53 am

FMitch

B asked me to marry him after 6 weeks but I said no a) because it wa way to early in the relationship and b) he had been married twice before - sometimes not getting married works too.

8:54 am

EvaNadine

that was pretty great, but what she didnt know is that her best friend also helped HIM bury the engagement ring in a treasure chest next to the picnic...
so after digging out the watch, he drew another "X" in the sand + told her to dig...
she was SO confused since they were on her date, not his...then she got the ring + said yes!

8:54 am

Haz1558

I hadn't realised that there were 2 ex-wives.

8:55 am

FMitch

Oh yes!

8:55 am

Haz1558

What a man!

8:56 am

EvaNadine

the funny thing was, you could tell for a split second that she was ticked off that her awesome date hadnt been a surprise...
but then she quickly got over it!
hehe

8:56 am

Haz1558

That best friend must have been sick of the sight of the beach by the time all that digging was done.

8:56 am

FMitch

and the detritus is heinous

8:56 am

EvaNadine

hah, i bet!
thankfully, they didnt dig very deep...

8:57 am

Haz1558

Big mess all round, FMitch?

8:57 am

FMitch

Lovely tale though EvaN

8:57 am

9:05 am

FMitch

We want a Babble Wedding, it's been a while!!!

9:05 am

Anniebrook

EvaN...I will start holding my breath Valentine's Day

9:06 am

9:06 am

Vicuna

lol, FM! Crissy was always so skinny.

9:06 am

Haz1558

Do you remember Karys' Christmas Day wedding? The problems we had trying to keep our hats on while lifting turkey out of the oven.

9:06 am

FMitch

Oh yes, that was a lovely day :)

9:07 am

Haz1558

Was Katie's the last? When Katie W became Katie McG?

9:07 am

FMitch

I think she was the last babble wedding yes.

9:08 am

FMitch

There are been a few babies since then and sadly quite a few departures too

9:09 am

FMitch

Karys wedding on the high seas - pirates were celebrating around the world :)

9:10 am

Haz1558

Yes, that's true. Katie seemed strangely unwilling to be a bride and a mum all in the first year. Not even to keep us in chat...

9:10 am

EvaNadine

my mother would LOVE for there to be more babies...
i told her no babies for me until im a married lady!
(you wouldnt think *I* would have to be the traditional one out of me + my mother!)

9:12 am

Vicuna

lol, EvaN!

9:12 am

Haz1558

You'd think she'd be happy with all the grandchildren already provided!

9:13 am

Atalante

uhoh, it's 2 hours to - *that* time

9:13 am

PP?

9:13 am

Ah vet time, phew, thought the world was coming to an end or something!

9:14 am

Atalante

Glandular Grotesqueness

9:14 am

Vicuna

As long as the world is coming to an end in two hours at least I don't need to worry about what to make for dinner.

9:14 am

Atalante

same thing for hobbit!

9:15 am

Mom

lol Vicuna

9:15 am

Mom

may I have a clue for the 7, please

9:15 am

FMitch

*Breaks out emergency rations of vintage champagne*

9:15 am

Haz1558

It's a bit of a waste if you've already got something on the go.

9:15 am

Vicuna

I would give you a clue, Mom, but it'd be too boring.

9:15 am

Vicuna

;)

9:15 am

Anniebrook

Fireworks!

9:15 am

Haz1558

te7 - a word meaning annoying and boring and really not very interesting, a bit like this clue.

9:30 am

crosshair

wife just waves single barrele whiskey under my nose;)

9:30 am

Atalante

oh yes! or artist's masking fluid :)

9:30 am

Vicuna

Yep, that's all smelling salts is. But I expect horseradish would work, too.

9:30 am

Krysten

9:31 am

FMitch

or a good whif of an excellentr premier cru

9:31 am

crosshair

my used socks will work also..makes the cats go into hiding;/

9:31 am

EvaNadine

i once almost passed out in a doctors office + he didnt have the salts on that office, but there was a bottle of windex.
he couldnt get the lid off in time to hold it under my nose, so he just sprayed me once in the face...
(i suspect spraying even water in my face would have worked then!)

9:31 am

Atalante

have you smelled masking fluid, vi? omg *cough cough*

9:31 am

Vicuna

Anything that makes you whoop!

9:32 am

FMitch

will pass on the socks I think ... eeew

9:32 am

No, I haven't, Ata! But all too many artist's supplies are a little too potent!

9:32 am

crosshair

wife makes me wash them seperate..:((

9:32 am

Atalante

you really don't want to. it's about 50% ammonia lol. it's deadly

9:37 am

crosshair

but there was always a fight over who got to crank the thing....

9:37 am

EvaNadine

that must be what we had!
we called them ditto sheets, but everything printed pruple off of them + you used to have to turn the handle to make the copies...

9:37 am

Vicuna

At my age that lasted through junior high, but it was all xerox by high school.

9:37 am

crosshair

thats the ones eva;)

9:38 am

Vicuna

Oh yeah, "ditto sheets" that's what we called them, too.

9:39 am

9:39 am

Your original had to be made on a special double sheet of paper with a backing.

9:40 am

crosshair

9:40 am

Atalante

*sigh* I must have just missed the purple fun

9:40 am

crosshair

9:41 am

Vicuna

It's really amazing how much more advanced today's copiers are!

9:41 am

9:44 am

Atalante

what did gentian violet actually do?

9:44 am

crosshair

that bactine was great stuff! fix the kids boo-boos, then slop a bit in the bucket to wash the floors!

9:44 am

Haz1558

Gentian Violet? Was she not a serial killer?

9:44 am

Vicuna

Supposed to kill bacteria, I guess. With my kids we had it for thrush.

9:45 am

Atalante

I had to have it on my fingertips

9:45 am

Gentian violet is an antifungal.

9:45 am

Vicuna

AH, there's a nurse when we need one!

9:45 am

Atalante

redturtlehead

it is a pretty colour.

9:46 am

redturtlehead

I am really troubled by this grid.

9:46 am

Haz1558

I think they still use it in the vets. It's the only explanation for husband coming home purple.

9:46 am

Vicuna

Well, I had to use it 6 years ago, because they wouldn't prescribe anything for me!

9:46 am

Atalante

or hopefully the only explanation

9:47 am

Vicuna

Oooh, Haz's husband has been seeing Gentian Violet! And he tells you it's an "anti-fungal." Ha ha ha.

9:47 am

Haz1558

Give me time, I'm sure I could think of some more.

9:47 am

Atalante

rolling around a mimeograph?

9:47 am

Haz1558

Gentian Violet - any relation to Parma Violet do you suppose?

9:48 am

EvaNadine

9:48 am

Vicuna

9:48 am

Haz1558

9:49 am

Vicuna

Ah, now I have another. Thanks, Haz.

Jeez louise. Are there enough vowels in this grid?

10:05 am

crosshair

we had skates..remember.nothing says loving like a sharp blade across the thigh

10:05 am

Haz1558

10:05 am

Atalante

well he certainly didn't attend English lessons!

10:05 am

Hi guys.. .only 66 words today? Does that mean I have a chance? probably not lol

Lol, Crossy. My hubby got a skate across his nose once. Blaagh.

10:06 am

Good afternoon all..........

11:26 am

72 Temple Owl

hi cait! sitting her elistless needing one s5 wordd

11:26 am

Haz1558

Hello caitlyn!

11:26 am

Haz1558

si5 - command to dog (three) you and me (two)

11:27 am

Haz1558

And hello again to TO.

11:27 am

72 Temple Owl

OMG yo have added telepathy to your powers! *prostrates self*

11:27 am

caitlyn

How is everyone?

11:27 am

Haz1558

Arise, my child, it was my pleasure.

11:28 am

72 Temple Owl

however, you would be proud that i found two words using a to z and adjoining letters.

11:28 am

Haz1558

I'm fine, caitlyn, TO will be once she has got herself up from the ground.

11:28 am

72 Temple Owl

LOL

11:28 am

Haz1558

I'm not only proud, TO, I'm in awe.

11:28 am

72 Temple Owl

no list

11:28 am

caitlyn

Get up now TO you might get trodden on

11:29 am

Haz1558

You will join the Greats of Babble.

11:29 am

72 Temple Owl

well if you are down to three and each had a different # of letters...

11:29 am

Haz1558

Yes, detectives would probably do well to babble in order to hone their powers and skills.

11:30 am

72 Temple Owl

well - how did those do it when lickety was on vacation> either the old fashioned way or they have written a program

11:30 am

72 Temple Owl

i'd like to think the old fashioned way

11:30 am

Haz1558

Many of those who go listless have always gone listless and are used to feeling listless.

11:30 am

caitlyn

TO someone posted everyday

11:31 am

72 Temple Owl

i feel listless most days. btw haz the cake turned out "interesting"

11:31 am

Haz1558

And, in reality, I think there was a list posted just about every day in BabAnon.

11:31 am

72 Temple Owl

but SOMEONE had to solve it to get that list

11:31 am

Haz1558

'Interesting' is one of those words that can mean anything. Like 'challenging' or 'it was an experience'.

11:32 am

Haz1558

Oh, I know, TO. Did you notice that it was never me posting any list?

11:32 am

caitlyn

LOL Haz, nor me

11:32 am

72 Temple Owl

well - i knew it was dense but it was a bit too much fo rme. the marbling was actual melted chocolate folded directly in to the cake. imagine that.

11:32 am

Haz1558

There's probably a bit of help going on especially at flip (though some are more hindrance than help, but we'll not go into that)

11:33 am

72 Temple Owl

someone actually said it didn't need that much chocolate. we looked at her in amazement.

11:33 am

Haz1558

Chocolate folded directly in? Rich, indeed.

11:34 am

72 Temple Owl

it had 8 oz butter, 10 oz cream cheese and 4 oz shortening. next time i'll be sure it has "give" when i declare it done.

11:35 am

Haz1558

Whenever I've done marbled cakes, it's been a sponge mixture flavoured in different ways and then dropped at random into the tin. Marbling happens with the aid of a skewer.

11:35 am

Haz1558

The calorie count must have been pretty high with all that fat!

11:36 am

72 Temple Owl

well i make cream cheese brownies which should be marbles but i tend to keep the marbling shallow to make a topping. but for this more rigorous marbling is needed.

11:36 am

72 Temple Owl

well pound cake if all about the fat.

11:37 am

72 Temple Owl

LOL i used neufchatel cheese to cut out some fat ;)

11:37 am

Haz1558

And do you weigh a pound heavier after consumption?

11:37 am

72 Temple Owl

LOl several

11:37 am

caitlyn

Im putting weight on with all this chat about cakes!!

11:37 am

72 Temple Owl

i also made a pumpkin pie - it's the easiest of pies.

11:38 am

Haz1558

Would it work the other way? If we started talking about rice crackers, would the pounds fall off?

11:38 am

caitlyn

Thats a thought Haz

11:38 am

Haz1558

So, caitlyn, what flavour of rice cracker do you favour?

11:38 am

72 Temple Owl

ooh let's do try! et's talk about lettuce and cucumbers

11:39 am

Haz1558

(Just thinking - rice cracker and flavour in one sentence - something amiss!)

11:39 am

caitlyn

My down fall isnt cakes, its cheese!

11:40 am

Haz1558

Any type of cheese, or do you have a favourite?

11:40 am

caitlyn

Oh Im not fussy Haz, any will do LOL

11:41 am

caitlyn

Although I do love feta cheese

11:41 am

rolin

hmm half way in ten minutes... why do i feel a wall looming?

11:41 am

Haz1558

I'm not madly keen on cheese, but there's a Wensleydale with cranberries....

11:41 am

caitlyn

Hi rolin !

11:42 am

caitlyn

Mmmm

11:42 am

Haz1558

Hello rolin! You may not hit a wall. You may be one of the Babble Greats.

11:42 am

rolin

lol...oh no haz... im a plodder....

11:43 am

rolin

hey catlin...*s*

11:43 am

wildcat17

hi hi

11:43 am

Haz1558

Anybody else feeling their waist expand by 2 inches once we started talking about cheese?

11:43 am

caitlyn

Hi wild

11:43 am

rolin

yup...and the chocolate cake..

11:43 am

72 Temple Owl

uh oh - lunch is over and boss is hovering! see you later!

11:43 am

Haz1558

Hello wildcat!

11:43 am

wildcat17

only 7 left ... I should be here all day

11:43 am

caitlyn

I know lets get back to sald talk

11:44 am

Haz1558

See you later TO - fireworks before lunch is over isn't bad going.

11:44 am

caitlyn

Bye TO see you tomorrow

11:44 am

caitlyn

That was supposed to read salad!

11:44 am

72 Temple Owl

welno it's not! late, all!

11:44 am

Haz1558

Lettuce not speak ill of radish.

11:45 am

caitlyn

LOL

11:47 am

Haz1558

What was your weather like today, caitlyn? Ours was terribly changeable, I got fed up rescuing laundry from the line.

11:48 am

caitlyn

Wet Wet Wet (thats a good name for a pop group ) Im waiting for a lull so I can put rubbish out

11:48 am

Haz1558

Wet Wet Wet - now there's a group I could listen to without feeling suicidal.

11:49 am

caitlyn

And me

11:50 am

Haz1558

Do you want to form the Wet Wet Wet mature ladies fan club?

11:50 am

caitlyn

Has FM been on today?

11:50 am

caitlyn

Marti Pello appreciation society

11:50 am

Haz1558

Yes, she was on earlier. Still much bothered by builders' noise.

11:51 am

Haz1558

Yes, Martie always made me smile. I found it hard to associate him with heroin addiction.

11:51 am

caitlyn

Shame I missed her

11:51 am

Haz1558

She may well be on later.

11:52 am

Haz1558

She was talking of her youth when she wore turquoise dungarees.

11:52 am

Haz1558

And platform shoes! The things you find out about people.

11:52 am

caitlyn

They were all the fashion the brighter the better

11:52 am

gramma

Hi everybody! I've just been baa,baa,babbling along. I now have 5 left and I can't find a 1 of them. After I te**** the hay, I went blank. Help w/TE's would be appreciated.

11:52 am

wildcat17

ugh stuck

11:53 am

gramma

wildcat, maybe I could help?

11:53 am

Haz1558

te7 - is a very boring word, humdrum and annoying

11:53 am

caitlyn

I can remember wearing thick white tights and very black eyes, the Sandie Shaw look

11:53 am

gramma

ty,Haz

11:53 am

caitlyn

Hi gramma

11:53 am

Haz1558

te5/12 - put a double helping of a vowel into little Edward, and then plural for te6

11:54 am

gramma

Hi caitlyn.

11:54 am

Haz1558

I remember Sandie Shaw - didn't wear shoes when performing.

11:54 am

Haz1558

It seems such an innocent gimmick now.

wildcat17

11:54 am

wildcat17

need one from A

11:54 am

wildcat17

need one each from bottom W and S

11:55 am

Haz1558

ad4/5 - what the maths teacher said when she wanted a total?

11:55 am

wildcat17

ty that helped

11:55 am

Haz1558

wi6 - either a computer term or wi6 - a hangman's noose, consisting of three letters of the woman left without a husband and three letters of 'to pass away'

11:56 am

wildcat17

that helped too ty

11:56 am

gramma

I didn't get the double helping of the vowel.?

11:56 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

11:57 am

Haz1558

te5 - te, double helping of a vowel, finsh with a consonant. Think of Senator Kennedy with vowels inserted

11:57 am

caitlyn

I must go and cook supper, see you all tomorrow, bye

11:57 am

wildcat17

12:44 pm

Uniquity

Well, I logged on and assumed that at 66 words this would be easy...then I noticed all the Ts, Is, Es and Ds! Not nice!

12:46 pm

nDanLia

a di'nn'inutive way of describing woan/an whose spouse has passed

12:47 pm

nDanLia

*wo'nn'an

12:47 pm

storyteller

It rhymes with a slang term for a short person,,,but starts with a differant letter

12:47 pm

nDanLia

**'nn'an

12:48 pm

KatieMcG

could I have a clue for the te5/12 please

12:49 pm

Vicuna

te5/12 - ends with identification, but has an improbably vowel in the middle

12:49 pm

nDanLia

1:02 pm

bfsog

hey all

1:04 pm

Vicuna

Oh, uh... Bye, KatieMcG! Hello, bfsog!

1:05 pm

bfsog

hi vicuna. while its quiet il ask you (an american i presume) who is your money on for the pres.election

1:05 pm

Vicuna

Obama is the more likely winner according to current indications.

1:05 pm

Vicuna

Obama is also my choice.

1:05 pm

bfsog

thats the impression the UK is being told, too

1:06 pm

storyteller

I also am an Obama Mama!!!!

1:06 pm

Vicuna

Lots of people are predicting a landslide, but I'm much too nervous to believe that yet.

1:07 pm

bfsog

i wouldnt say a landslide, but then im not in america, but i feel hes the favourite

1:07 pm

Vicuna

It's also not productive to get complacent before the votes are in!

1:07 pm

nDanLia

it reallly hinges on a few states

1:07 pm

storyteller

I agree with you, it doesn't pay to be to sure of anything after what happened with Bush first election

1:07 pm

Vicuna

It's crazy.

1:08 pm

nDanLia

and whether the young vote actually turns out [not doing so affected the polls/last 2 elections]

1:09 pm

Vicuna

One thing that Obama has over the last two elections is that people want to vote FOR him as opposed to just voting AGAINST Bush.

1:11 pm

nDanLia

in a way though, the house & senate races are 'nn'ore i'nn'portant

1:11 pm

storyteller

Americans are so excited about this election that even the dead are voting!!

1:11 pm

Vicuna

Hmmm... Hopefully not too many of them, storyteller!

1:12 pm

nDanLia

there have been lots of new voter lists with proble'nn's, unfortunately; it hurts the whole thing

1:13 pm

storyteller

My husbands registration got all jumbled in with the Acorn regs, I am still a little worried about him not being on the register when we go to vote.

1:13 pm

Vicuna

Yeah. It's frustrating when incompetence or greed ruin things for everyone.

1:15 pm

Vicuna

Well, time to fetch the offspring. Bye, all.

1:37 pm

EvaNadine

so...anyone here?
or did the political chat kill the chatlog?

1:39 pm

stidmama

hello friends! I have 20 minutes to play... finished the reading I wanted to do in between things this morning, so ... how's the grid?

1:40 pm

stidmama

hi EvaN...

1:40 pm

EvaNadine

small, but feisty...

1:40 pm

stidmama

thanks, not bad then. I have some time... as long as lickety is up I shall make it before flip. LOL

1:41 pm

EvaNadine

stid, tu es americainne, vraiment, non?

1:41 pm

EvaNadine

ou anglaise?

1:42 pm

stidmama

oui, c'est vrai, mai pour (today - aujord'hui?) je suis canadienne.

1:42 pm

EvaNadine

heh, i think thats about all of my french. :)

1:42 pm

stidmama

yeah. me too. LOL

1:43 pm

stidmama

I get confused with what italian I remember and it all goes downhill from there.

1:43 pm

EvaNadine

twas a good exercise. :)

1:43 pm

stidmama

*bleck face* exercise. yuck.

1:44 pm

stidmama

how are you doing these days, EvaN?

1:44 pm

EvaNadine

busy, but good.
sneaking in to babble whenever i can. :)

1:45 pm

stidmama

yeah, me too. I love Mondays because I volunteer at the local school and can slip home at lunch to be in the quiet house with the unquiet dog.

1:45 pm

EvaNadine

mondays for me are slave back to the grind...

1:46 pm

EvaNadine

though, at least i like my coworkers :)

1:46 pm

stidmama

glad to hear the work environment is pleasant. I like most of the students in my microbiology class -- I self-select away from the others! LOL

1:47 pm

EvaNadine

microbiology. *shudders*

1:48 pm

stidmama

it's not horrible, it's just brand-new to me and so very steep learning curve. I am going to start relaxing on trying to "get it all" -- which won't happen and start focusing on my project which is compost. Which I DO understand.

1:49 pm

EvaNadine

i barely passed "disney" bio in college.
(thats what the bio majors called it because it was so easy)

1:49 pm

stidmama

I don't think I will get NBT without the list. I am past halfway now though

1:49 pm

EvaNadine

i have 17 left...
but ive been chipping away at it all day...heh

1:50 pm

stidmama

i wouldn't mind "disney" bio, took this full-time program because it fulfills ALL the remaining science requirements I need to teach elementary school, leaving me with jsut a few credits in things I enjoy before I go for my master's

1:50 pm

stidmama

okay, list in hand...

1:50 pm

EvaNadine

masters....
i need to go get me one of those...

1:51 pm

stidmama

*facepalm* oh man... glad I didn

1:51 pm

stidmama

didn't ask for the eye words!

1:51 pm

EvaNadine

heh, *I* did.
*rolls eyes at self*

1:52 pm

stidmama

My choice was a year of post-bac getting classes like this one and then a year of post-bac teacher certification; or this year and then two years for a master's. Higher pay, more preparation for teaching; it was a no-brainer

1:52 pm

EvaNadine

true!
a little hard work goes a long way. :)

1:53 pm

stidmama

or a lot of hard work... rofl

1:54 pm

stidmama

ooh. I got the last E words! grey tiles!

1:55 pm

stidmama

first D-eye 5 please?

1:55 pm

EvaNadine

better than me! im still missing one from the top E

1:55 pm

EvaNadine

alas, i have it not

1:56 pm

stidmama

oh well... the top E you probably want the goose-down looking word

1:56 pm

EvaNadine

ahh, just dound it, though...
ends in the end of life

1:56 pm

EvaNadine

yes, thanks!

1:57 pm

stidmama

:-D

1:57 pm

EvaNadine

13 words left to go...

1:57 pm

stidmama

hm. down to 15. about time for me to head out.

1:58 pm

stidmama

Nice to see you again, EvaN. I miss our carefree days when I was new to babbling and we were on a lot at the same time.

1:58 pm

Afternoon.. KJE, its today that Joe Biden is on Ellen...as you can tell, I am watching.

2:13 pm

kje

ty, red, will watch.... i think she comes on here at 3 (212 now)... enjoying your day off?

2:13 pm

redturtlehead

I have a dilemma that I need some assistnace with...

2:13 pm

redturtlehead

I have had a Horrific day, starting with getting pulled over at 5:45 am...

2:14 pm

redturtlehead

I did go running though, a day earlier than the MD would have liked.

2:16 pm

kje

what is the dilemma

2:17 pm

redturtlehead

My Grandmother died this morning...and I was able to get friday off. so I could go tot he funeral...

2:17 pm

redturtlehead

BUt its going to cost me over 1 grand to get there and back etc...

2:17 pm

kje

whoa!

2:18 pm

kje

where is it at? why so much? are you sure?

2:18 pm

nDanLia

where is it red

2:18 pm

redturtlehead

Its in NC, I found a pretty cheap flight, but I also have to board the dog, park at the airport, buy an appropriate outfit.

2:20 pm

kje

no friend to keep the dog? or take you to the airport?... really nothing to wear?

2:20 pm

redturtlehead

I don't know anyone here because I worked 40 miles north, and I really and truely have No dress to wear here in FL...

2:21 pm

kje

pant suit?

2:21 pm

kje

borrow something?

2:21 pm

redturtlehead

kje, I have one pair of jeans here and some t shirts. I got some shoes when I was home, but there were no dresses that quite fit...

2:22 pm

kje

so your dilemma is whether to go or not?

2:22 pm

redturtlehead

Yes...

2:22 pm

nDanLia

are there relatives you could borrow fro there

2:23 pm

redturtlehead

My Grandfather just died 2 weeks ago and I could not go to that one because the cost was outrageous....

2:23 pm

redturtlehead

Most of my relatives actually all...are a little too fat.

2:23 pm

kje

my aunt who i was close to died when i was a 2nd year resident... I was unable to go to the funeral... I don't regret it

2:23 pm

EvaNadine

i think our loved ones care more that we were there with them when they were still here...more than once theyve left us...

2:24 pm

redturtlehead

My Grandmother was very ill, with dementia etc for a long time, so I feel more relief for her.

2:24 pm

kje

I had just visited her a couple weeks before she died and was thankful for that... she would have understood that i couldn't make it down again for the funeral.... depends on your own obligations and what is important to you

2:24 pm

redturtlehead

I wish I had been able to see Grandma, but she has not recognized me for years.

2:24 pm

redturtlehead

erhad not.

2:25 pm

kje

yes, dementia is a hard death, red... a protracted one... my aunt had died of breast cancer

2:25 pm

kje

if you truly feel you cannot go, do something special where you are to take the time to honor her, if you can

2:26 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, her husb (My Grandfather) died last year and she asked each day where he was, only to learn each day anew that he had died.

2:26 pm

nDanLia

think about what YOU will need; if you are okay with other fors of saying goodbye & closure, that's okay funerals/wakes are for those still here

2:27 pm

redturtlehead

I must admit, I am not really up for travelling again....

2:27 pm

kje

sorry to hear that red, but that is over for her now, thankfully

2:27 pm

redturtlehead

I am glad of that, she had that wierd anxiety component with the dementia, you know it...

2:28 pm

kje

yes, i do

2:28 pm

EvaNadine

my grandmother went much the same way. i didnt get to see her much before she passed, but in a way, im thankful that i can remember her the way she was before...

2:28 pm

redturtlehead

I'm sort of waiting to hear from my Mom to see what she wants and my sister.

2:29 pm

redturtlehead

Oh yes, My Grandmother she was a very special lady. She was also a Registered Nurse.

2:29 pm

kje

what was your pull-over for? speeding? or suspected drug trafficking? ; )

2:29 pm

kje

that is cool red, she must have been very proud of you

2:30 pm

redturtlehead

I ran a red light because I couldnt see it as a semi was in front of me....warning. The guy did freak out because I had to open the trunk to get my wallet...

2:30 pm

redturtlehead

he gave me a warning because I dont have any Florida Licensing...

2:30 pm

kje

well, that is nice at least

2:30 pm

redturtlehead

so thats the silver lining... :)

2:31 pm

redturtlehead

why though must the grid be so hateful?????

2:31 pm

kje

cops in MD rarely (if ever) gave warnings... granted, I slowed down considerably once i moved there.., those guys were mean and scary as hell

2:32 pm

kje

I learned quickly to avoid them

2:32 pm

redturtlehead

MD cops kje, are actually quite nasty....they have the rep all over, I always slooow down when driving there.

2:32 pm

Pinikula

hi all...(lunch time)

2:32 pm

redturtlehead

Oh kje, you have to watch Ellen...her choice of music for Joe Biden is lovely.

2:32 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Pinik.

2:32 pm

redturtlehead

THank you all for the dilemma help.

2:32 pm

kje

the baltimore city police were being investigated by the feds when i left for massive abuse

2:33 pm

kje

hi pini

2:33 pm

kje

not 3 yet red!

2:33 pm

redturtlehead

He is actually funny. he was not so funyn at the rally yesterday.

2:33 pm

kje

did you go to a rally?

2:34 pm

redturtlehead

No, I allowed myself to become incensed watching on Television...

2:34 pm

redturtlehead

I should have gone to the one in Tampa today.

2:34 pm

kje

I don't think I can take it anymore... it all pisses me off - LOL

2:35 pm

redturtlehead

I dont like the way the polls are going...it's the Wilder effect..

2:35 pm

kje

interview this weekend with palin she insinuated that the mainstream medias accounts of people at their rallies threatening obama were not entirely truthful.... she had never heard it

2:35 pm

kje

what is the wilder effect?

2:35 pm

kje

but if she did hear it she would stop them

2:36 pm

redturtlehead

Where people say on polling that they will would vote for a black candidate but then on election day actually don't....

2:37 pm

redturtlehead

USA has an interesitng thing where you can make your own electoral college map and predict who will win which state...

2:37 pm

redturtlehead

Did you see her lacklustre performance on SNL??

2:37 pm

kje

there is some specuation that the opposite is true also... that there are people who won't admit to liking him b/c it is unacceptable in their neighborhood, but once behind the curtain, will vote for him... both are hard to measure

2:38 pm

kje

nope, not yet, but thanks for reminding me

2:38 pm

kje

though it is entertaining, being able to perform on SNL is not a criteria for election, though : )

2:39 pm

kje

wow, I sounded so pollyanna there... asg would be proud of me

2:39 pm

redturtlehead

Exactly, she was stiff, I thought and sort of not comfortable being spoofed.

2:39 pm

kje

I'm usually the despondent one about the dems chances

2:40 pm

kje

well, in some ways, takes a lot of guts to go in and set yourself up knowing they are mocking you... i wouldn't do it

2:40 pm

redturtlehead

I am quite worried. I just don't see esp after Powell's endorsement...how people think the McCain/Palin team...can help our Country.

2:40 pm

kje

i get mocked enough in babble - LOL

2:40 pm

redturtlehead

Oh I would...but then again, I mock myself frequently.

2:40 pm

Pinikula

* zips lips * ;)

2:41 pm

kje

see!!!!

2:41 pm

kje

; ) pini

2:41 pm

Pinikula

2:41 pm

Pinikula

2:41 pm

kje

6:14 pm

kje

hi red, were you looking for me?

6:15 pm

redturtlehead

I ma having lunch tomorro is Seventh Day Adventist Vegetarian cafeteria. shoudl be interesting.

6:15 pm

lil*monkey

i only have 23 words, thanks to kajee and her incessant chatting LOL

6:15 pm

kje

watched biden... he did pretty well

6:15 pm

lil*monkey

red, do you like my doorknob?

6:15 pm

redturtlehead

I was kje, I was trying to decide the main difference in Heat stroke and exhaustion....altered LOC or ability to dissapate heat.

6:15 pm

kje

will be good, red... i visited friends at lomo linda, in ca, and their hospital is SDA and their food was seriously good and fresh

6:15 pm

redturtlehead

its cute!

6:16 pm

lil*monkey

TY red

6:16 pm

redturtlehead

I decided it was the ability to disappate heat. As you stop sweating with stroke...

6:16 pm

lil*monkey

i thought the main diff between heat stroke and exhausting was the hydration factor

6:16 pm

redturtlehead

but a few internet articles said it was the LOC.

6:17 pm

lil*monkey

heat stroke, the patient is usually dry and hot to touch...

6:17 pm

lil*monkey

loss of conciousness? is that LOC

6:17 pm

redturtlehead

exactly. But usually with exhaustion the level of conciousness is only mildly impaired...

6:17 pm

redturtlehead

with storke they are usually googly.

6:18 pm

kje

sorry, doorbell... ups guy... my order from Frick came in - yay

6:18 pm

lil*monkey

hmmmm, i've seen googly in both case

6:18 pm

redturtlehead

can you tell I have a test tomorro and I believe that I have the actual test. so i am trying to be sure I pass it.

6:18 pm

lil*monkey

but heat stroke is extrmely googly

6:18 pm

redturtlehead

me too monkne which is why I am going with ability to disappate heat...

6:18 pm

lil*monkey

i would say that too red

6:18 pm

kje

I think they are used close to interchangeably... both are hyperthermic states, dehydration, and thus inability to dissipate heat heat via sweat evaporation

6:19 pm

pam

hi, all

6:19 pm

lil*monkey

hi pam

6:19 pm

kje

oh, test level questions...hmm... I'll look it upo then

6:19 pm

pam

I thought once someone had heat stroke, they stop sweating and that was the defining moment...

6:20 pm

lil*monkey

yes me too Pam, that's when they get googley

6:20 pm

kje

red, google search yielded this... "Heat exhaustion: This condition often occurs when people exercise (work or play) in a hot, humid place and body fluids are lost through sweating, causing the body to overheat. The person's temperature may be elevated, but not above 104°F.

Heat stroke: This medical condition is life-threatening. The person's cooling system, which is controlled by the brain, stops working and the internal body temperature rises to the point where brain damage or damage to other internal organs may result (temperature may reach 105+°F)."

6:20 pm

pam

Good luck tomorrow, red!

6:20 pm

kje

but not sure that is how we really use them... most of the time, we just Dx hyperthermia

6:20 pm

lil*monkey

i saw a man have heat stroke (on the beach, when i was a kid) and it scared me to death. He was like a raving lunatic

6:20 pm

pam

I had heat exhaustion once, on Mt Beacon in NY State when I was a camp counselor

6:20 pm

pam

NOT FUN

6:21 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Pam!

6:21 pm

pam

Hi, kje

6:21 pm

pam

hi, lil

6:21 pm

redturtlehead

I guess I am going with ability to disappate heat.

6:21 pm

kje

hello

6:21 pm

lil*monkey

good luck red! Sounds like there will be some tricky questons

6:21 pm

redturtlehead

I hope they have not revised test.

6:22 pm

lil*monkey

why isn't "owie" a word?

6:22 pm

pam

I hope so, too, red!

6:22 pm

redturtlehead

also kje, with like retavase, which is the most common reperfusion arrhtyhmia...

6:22 pm

pam

I hate being tested...

6:22 pm

redturtlehead

I thought V fib, but my pal says its Complete Heart Block??

6:22 pm

pam

i love living vicariously through you red and kje and lil!

6:23 pm

kje

red, that would be a very unlikely test question to differentiate between those 2 at a finite level...

6:23 pm

redturtlehead

When I google, I get a bunch of discussion of reperfusion arrhythmias, but no most common.

6:23 pm

lil*monkey

*puts on glasses and trys to look smart*

6:23 pm

redturtlehead

Actually kje, its on the test that the hosp was using revised Dec 2007.

6:23 pm

redturtlehead

pls dont ask how i can across that gem.

6:23 pm

kje

RE perfusion is VT... MI Sx is heart block

6:24 pm

kje

this is a hospital test???

6:24 pm

kje

or a recert test?

6:24 pm

redturtlehead

VT is not an option but VF is and is the only Vent arrhythmia,

6:24 pm

redturtlehead

A hospital test. it actually seems standard, I've taken a bunch like this.

6:24 pm

lil*monkey

now you've lost me with the acronym mumbo jumbo

6:25 pm

redturtlehead

sorry monkey. boring, I am nervous...

6:25 pm

kje

really??? had no idea... why would they do that if you are board certified... whatever they do is not standardized and ridiculous

6:25 pm

lil*monkey

no , not boring!

6:25 pm

lil*monkey

booycot the test!

6:25 pm

kje

red, you will do fine... most important on those things is just basic test taking skills

6:26 pm

redturtlehead

Everywhere I go I get to take at the lest an arrhythmia exam....those people that say we travel because we are "bad" nurses or drug addicts....make me so mad.

6:26 pm

redturtlehead

this is a bit more about 120 questions...

6:26 pm

redturtlehead

if it is the test.

6:26 pm

kje

they cannot tell anything from that test that is beyond your licensing and past recs... that is just some nurse manager gone haywire

6:26 pm

pam

that stinks, red

6:26 pm

redturtlehead

But if we fail, we are out of a Job....

6:27 pm

redturtlehead

Have you heard of the PBDS?

6:27 pm

kje

I had never heard that about travelers, red... we just always assumed they did it to make more money

6:27 pm

kje

not off the top of my head

6:27 pm

redturtlehead

I've heard a variety of things..

6:27 pm

lil*monkey

peanut butter dam syndrome?

6:28 pm

kje

is that what elvis had?

6:28 pm

kje

or was that clinton?

6:28 pm

redturtlehead

performance based something something....they show you a 30 second video...and then want you to make a diagnosis...and prescribe all treatments...

6:28 pm

kje

one of them loved PB sandwiches

6:28 pm

redturtlehead

Liek i am a diagnostician...

6:28 pm

redturtlehead

or a prescriber.

6:28 pm

redturtlehead

I think it was Elvis.

6:29 pm

redturtlehead

And if you fail you have to pack up and go home...

6:29 pm

kje

but... you are a RN... you can neither dx or prescribe by law.... so who the hell cares

6:29 pm

redturtlehead

I care only because if I fail...in truth they show vingettes like someone clutching chest and want to know you will put oxygen on the pt...

6:29 pm

lil*monkey

Elvis loved PB sandwiches

6:29 pm

storyteller

i think it was elvis, he added bananas to the pb, Sorry, I am eavesdropping, this puzzle is too hard!

6:30 pm

lil*monkey

i think he liked them grilled or toasted

6:30 pm

kje

red... I say this with love.... but go get a steady job where you will be respected and will have friends who can take care of your dog, and can make a home

6:30 pm

redturtlehead

but some places have been really nutty

6:30 pm

kje

Hi KJE! Got my son's progress report today. H went from a tiny school of 30 kids to a class of 35

6:35 pm

kje

6:35 pm

6:35 pm

DR1965

The school has honor roll starting in the fourth grade. at the end of the year they get to go bowling with th eprincipal

6:36 pm

DR1965

and he LOVES bowling so that is the incentive.

6:36 pm

kje

ho wfun, DR.., tell him we all said good job... and to keep it up!!!

6:37 pm

DR1965

I am especially proud because when he wasin kindergarten- they said he was unteachable

6:37 pm

pam

VERY excellent, dr! And, I second KJE

6:37 pm

kje

does he ever play babble, DR?

6:37 pm

pam

UNTEACHABLE? A kindergartener? That is just absurd....

6:37 pm

kje

excuse me... unteachable??? no such thing

6:37 pm

DR1965

TY Both! He does help me sometimes

6:37 pm

kje

idiots

6:38 pm

DR1965

It was a personality conflict and he was bored

6:38 pm

pam

KJE, once again, you and i are in sync....

6:38 pm

DR1965

he also likes bookworm and text twist and sudoku

6:39 pm

pam

In first grade, my parents were told I was what is now called developmentally disabled. Their proof? I did not seem to look at the books and would do something else.

6:39 pm

kje

DR... I spent the majority of grade school being in trouble for staring out the window and daydreaming.... whatever!

6:39 pm

pam

My mother roared, LOL.

6:39 pm

kje

all my report cards also said "kathryn talks too much in class" -

6:39 pm

pam

She was asked whether I was asked to read something? I taught myself to read when I was about two and apparently I was bored. So much for their diagnostics...

6:39 pm

kje

that one got me in trouble at home

6:40 pm

lil*monkey

LOL kajee... one of mine said Laurie talks to much and doesn't eat her lunch, and sucks her thumb all day

6:40 pm

pam

KJE, we really ARE in sync, LOLOLOL. I agreed to read my own books in my lap once I finished the asinine see jane or other boring crap, LOLOL

6:40 pm

DR1965

His big mistake was painting a "self portrait" and giving himself blue hair... as for talking to much... that was ME> He has already gotten moved for that but th eteacher is great

6:40 pm

kje

well... you showed them pam... and DR,, he will do great! some teachers can be assholes

6:40 pm

lil*monkey

oh those stupid Dick and Jane books

6:40 pm

pam

Pam seems bored and needs to be more interested in her classroom activiites

6:40 pm

kje

it goes to their head or something.... I am just glad he didn't internalize that

6:41 pm

pam

LOL, dr... so much for creativity

6:41 pm

DR1965

HE is reading the Lemony Snicket series

6:41 pm

pam

Ditto to what kje said... good thing he has you around so he doesn't take that crap seriously

6:41 pm

kje

exactly, pam... like it is OUR fault THEY are boring - LOL

6:41 pm

DR1965

I am too Kje. It was one of my fears of putting him back in public school

6:42 pm

kje

DR, i taught for years before deciding to go to med school.... what the parents do at home far outweighs anything the school can do... so thankfully, you are there

6:43 pm

kje

10:11 pm

Pinikula
