melon, it's a very old-fashioned thing to do, but have you tried Vicks Vaporub over your sinuses before bed?
12:24 am
autumn moon

melon - go for sushi and use the wasabi!
12:25 am
tygerbryght

it will un-clog them, and make it much easier to breathe

12:26 am

good idea! too bad this is cleveland - no sushi at this hour! & I don't think I have wasabi. Then again I have gefilte fish & horeseradish - close enough?
12:26 am

12:30 am
melonheadjujube

12:30 am

12:30 am

Yogo....this may help to get you started: Open --Lickety's Babble Clues -- (found at the bottom of this page) in another window. Next, copy the words you've found (under Babble - My Word List) and paste them in the large box at the bottom of the Lickety's List (Bulk Add). Press Add and your found words will be placed in their appropriate places on the list. Then you simply try and find the words that are still missing. Update your Lickety's List by repeating the copy / paste / Bulk Add.

the my sounds like the good times clue?
1:01 am
joshuavorbis

yes
1:01 am
joshuavorbis

the pi8/9 is sort of a compound word - or at least it would be in french
1:01 am
melonheadjujube

or a name for a synthetic fabric
1:01 am
dalenmiles

I tried that! I must have spelled it wrong before, but it went in this time
1:02 am

4:52 am

It's 'wally' not 'wolly'.

This dictionary is highly schizophrenic. You'll get used to it.

wally Noun. 1. An idiot or imbecile. Prolific use during the early 1980s. {Informal}
2. A pickled cucumber, a gherkin.
4:55 am
Buggie

you'll also find it with the "o" spelling
4:55 am
Jacula

'wolly' is east London dialect for a pickled cucumber.
4:55 am
Buggie

yes, and it's also an idiot...
4:56 am

Are you an Eastender, Buggie?

4:58 am
Buggie

well I've used it and heard it used ever since I was little
4:58 am
Jacula

Lori - Thanks. Don't know what the 'az' is yet but you got me an ad5 by saying that.
4:58 am
BabbleRabble

ad 4 == axe-like- tool
4:59 am
herinfernallady

We use Wally here as a term for idiot (but i guess Wolly would work)
4:59 am
Jacula

Buggie - Babble's great for learning new things. Thanks for the info.
4:59 am
Buggie

you're welcome :)
4:59 am
Buggie

not that much difference between wolly and wally anyway :)
5:00 am
Jacula

It's only pronunciation, I guess.
5:00 am
BabbleRabble

di 5 -- with a different vowel would be a twelfth of a gross
5:00 am

Rhubarb, in my opinion, can only be made excellent by people over the age of 65. Especially grandmas. I've had bad, decent, good, and even great rhubarb elsewise, but the only fantastic/excellent rhubarb I've had has been made by that generation (especially my grandmother, who made strawberry rhubarb jam for waffles)

A young lady in Ireland, goes to her sister's assisted living establishment and works there for a short while. During this time, their mother has a stroke and the younger sister stays while the older goes to be with mom.

you can you baking soda peri... only 4X less what it calls for baking powder
2:13 pm
nrkii

24 left here... need list
2:13 pm
MonkeyGames

Thanks, Stid. I get my x-rays tomorrow. Had visible swelling and bruising over the weekend so I hope something acn be done soon.
2:13 pm
stidmama

I get the MRI tomorrow... I am very nervous about it.
2:13 pm
oodleberry

for instance if the recipe calls for 1 tsp bap
2:13 pm
MonkeyGames

Me too, Stid. I call at least once a week, usually more.
2:14 pm
oodleberry

baking powder you would use 1 /4 tsp baking soda
2:14 pm
MonkeyGames

Akk, I have missed what you need it for!!! Are you OK?
2:14 pm
nrkii

Monkey, what happened?
2:14 pm
nrkii

stid = hip; nrkii = shoulder; monkey = ???... are we all falling apart?
2:15 pm
stidmama

it's the stupid-dumb blasted rotten hip.... but right now it feels okay so I don't know if the MRI will even show anything. They made me so mad, taking MONTHS to get the appointment right.
2:15 pm
MonkeyGames

Bent down to put soap in teh dishwasher, nrk. Couldn't stand upa gain for a long while... that was four montsh ago now.
2:15 pm
stidmama

*picks up fingers that dropped off while typing* falling apart, nrk??? what gave you that idea?
2:16 pm
MonkeyGames

Oh dang, Stid! But the MRI itself will be fun. It's a cool technology. I hope your hipchecks out OK-- as in something that can be treated, not as in you-know-something's-wrong-and-they-d
on't-see-it-OK!
2:16 pm
oodleberry

peri?
2:16 pm
MonkeyGames

I think she left as I came on, Oodle.
2:17 pm
MonkeyGames

Keep me posted, OK?
2:17 pm
stidmama

peri will be back quickly
2:17 pm
nrkii

I had a stone massage while I was on vacation, which was wonderful... but the massage therapist says he thinks my legs might be different lengths, and maybe that's the source of my falling
2:17 pm
periwinkle

the recipe calls for baking powder and baking soda, think I will wait and go to the store tomorrow.
2:17 pm
MonkeyGames

I mean about the hip...
2:17 pm
nrkii

stid, make sure they get you as comfy as possible for the MRI... I like them myself, but you're there for a while
2:17 pm
MonkeyGames

Aha, nrkii! I hope it's that simple! They make shoes for that.
2:18 pm
stidmama

I will monkey... hoping the MRI shows SOMETHING because it is worse to be in pain with no apparent cause than to know what it is. I can't take narcotics, so it's not like I am faking something to get drugs. *sigh* but the docs still look at me funny.
2:18 pm
stidmama

thanks nrk, I will.
2:18 pm
nrkii

yep, I'm going to have it checked out soon... after surgery, etc
2:18 pm
stidmama

I am thinking the hip is probably the cause of both the knee pain and the low back pain that have plagued me for thirty years.
2:18 pm
MonkeyGames

I know EXACTLY what you mean, Stid! Akk, OK, time I go! Have fun and take care folks! Really... take care!
2:18 pm
stidmama

later monkey! BE WELL -- take care... *nag nag*
2:19 pm
nrkii

stid, I hear you... I had major hip problems when I was 17, and the doctors told me to lose weight... but I had just lost 50 pounds before it started... I was so annoyed
2:19 pm
nrkii

bye monkey!
2:19 pm
nrkii

now I realize that losing the weight messed with my balance... other injuries can do the same
2:20 pm
nrkii

and if your body adjusts its balance, it puts pressure on places that didn't have pressure before
2:20 pm
nrkii

and you end up with pain in places that used to be fine
2:20 pm
stidmama

yes, that sounds familiar nrk!
2:21 pm
stidmama

I think that, once I figure out the hip/low back (the cause could be either one) then the rest of the problems will pretty much take care of themselves.
2:22 pm
nrkii

probably so!
2:22 pm
oodleberry

oh then she went to get baking powder eh?
2:22 pm
stidmama

My biggest hope is that it will show a structural deformity -- but no actual damage. then I can work with a physical therapist to support the musculature and get back to working in my yard. Which needs me. Which is why TOM is out there cutting down and limbing up trees instead of me.
2:22 pm
periwinkle

I am back oodle, will wait until tomorrow and will go shopping, thanks
2:22 pm
jillibus

2:26 pm
jillibus

stid, I'm still trying to decided whether to fly or take the ferry. It's really tight. If I fly it will be to and from Ganges, not Victoria. If I ferry, it will be to Swartz Bay and Fulford. Both on the 26th, arriving in the late afternoon or evening.
2:26 pm
stidmama

I think I will wander outside again and see what other damage the fellows are up to. *worried mama-gardener look* I never know what will happen once I get them outside!
2:27 pm
nrkii

Ata, can you ship me some for Dec 5 arrival please?
2:27 pm
stidmama

2:27 pm
jillibus

we have very good fish and chips here, vouched for by Brit ex-pats :)
2:28 pm
jillibus

yes, stid, on the little noisy fellas -- fun.
2:28 pm
nrkii

well if you both ship me some, I'll do a taste test
2:28 pm
stidmama

you see folks, the harbor at ganges is about as wide as my yard is long... the planes are four-seaters, only a little bigger than my minivan.
2:28 pm
stidmama

*wrapping jill in bubblewrap and putting her somewhere safe*
2:28 pm
Atalante

nrkii

I have good fish and chips here, but my mom informed me she wants to get fish and chips while she's taking care of me, and I don't want to send her walking for fish and chips in the cold, and dark, alone, so I told her NO FISH AND CHIPS
2:29 pm
jillibus

I don't think so, stid
2:29 pm
stidmama

*still worried mama look*
2:30 pm
jillibus

2:30 pm
Atalante

2:30 pm
periwinkle

2:30 pm
stidmama

well... I think maybe son & co should visit YOU instead of you having to traipse over to them for a change. *stubborn mama look*
2:30 pm
nrkii

Ata, that's a good compromise....

Ooh. I'll have to watch for that. I love a good "end of civilization" flick. Gets me every time.
4:49 pm

Survivorman does eat some gross things. He's cute, but I'd think twice before kissing those lips. God only knows what's come in contact with them.

Herin - I'll be trying out your method for cooking Skippy steaks later. I'll let you know how it works out.
10:11 pm

'The head of the herd was calling... far, far away...'
10:12 pm

Speaking of which, I saw some amazing film footage on Big Cat Live not long ago.
10:12 pm
herinfernallady

I haven't cooked skippy before
10:12 pm
Kazozz

oh grrrrr lol
10:13 pm
Jacula

The lions had taken a baby elephant, one of two in the herd. The ellies wanted the body back and their distress calls brought elephants from everywhere. Eventually, the lions had to call it a day.
10:14 pm
herinfernallady

wow.Ellifunts do that. They are amazing creatures
10:14 pm
Jacula

So, you know those scenes in the old Tarzan films with Johnny Weizmuller (or however you spell his surname) where Tarzan calls the elllies? They're true.
10:15 pm
Jacula

Really Herin? You haven't eaten kangaroo?
10:15 pm
Jacula

Heffalumps are amazing creatures, Herin.
10:15 pm
herinfernallady

I have eating skippy just not cooked it. The buggers are pretty good
10:17 pm
Jacula

I hope Skippy steaks don't taste like Bambi steaks. If they do, I won't like them. Don't like gamey meat.
10:19 pm
Jacula

When I was a kid, visiting a zoo on a school trip back in the 60s, a heffalump stole my apple, but it did say 'thank you' by tickling me with its trunk.
10:19 pm
Jacula

Hope that didn't sound 'rude'. Wasn't meant to!
