jilli, the family room of my paren't house is done in old barn siding. There was a tornado about when my dad was building our house. He passed a barn that was flattened in the storm. Offered to haul away some of the debris, including the siding and a hand-hewn beam that became the mantlepiece of the fire place. And that's my experience with barns. :)

Changing the subject to something nasty, but necessary ... I am having a colonoscopy Wednesday. Have any of you had one? How did you survive two days of clear liquids with something besides broth and jello?

I had a colon prep before one of my abd operations--NOT fun, but I only had to start the afternoon prior.

Yes, first they were going to do one day with Fleet, but changed it to two days with MoviPrep
6:38 am

I have nothing wrong; this is preventive medicine like Katie Couric pleads for.
6:38 am
Scrabbler

Yuck, Merk. But you will get through it, and you want the doc to have a sparkling clean colon to view.
6:39 am
Merk

Ah, yes, with nice pictures, I'm sure.
6:39 am

I will have my first colonoscopy later this year as I will be 50 in Sept.
6:40 am

ahh just looking for polyps and such merk?
6:40 am

That's when to do it. I've seen too many nasty cancer cases not to go through this. I'm working on my hubby to do likewise.
6:41 am
Merk

I'm just in a semi-foul mood because I was supposed to have painters here today. They have not returned my calls and I was looking forward to tolerating my days by enjoying the view of changing walls.
6:41 am

At 44 words I have hit the wall. Have Babblers said that this is a tough grid?

use ultrapure liquid paraffin. just fill the lamp partway, let the wick sit in the oil a minute, and light. keep the wick pulled down so only a little sticks out of the holder -- the farther it sticks out, the larger the flame and the more smoky

I'm hanging in there. It's hitting me a bit harder than I expected. Walter is having melancholy moments but handling it all right. Saskia (you were right!) isn't looking for her thanks to my letting her see the body, but she does frequently go to SCSI's favorite spots and stand there sighing. But we're pulling on through!

I can sleep at neighbors if I have to, but would really rather not
6:18 pm
dcseain

boiler or furnace, nrkii?
6:18 pm
nrkii

the problem seems to be the exhaust fan motor on the furnace... which is connected to a boiler... which is connected to lovely OLD radiators all over my house
6:19 pm
nrkii

COLD radiators and OLD radiators
6:19 pm
dcseain

ah, okay, that shouldn't be too hard to source, worst case, they replace the fan then?
6:20 pm
nrkii

apparently this fan/motor part is tough to replace
6:20 pm
redturtlehead

nrkii, i'd lend you my 0 degree sleeping bag....it helps a load when no heat.
6:21 pm
dcseain

oh, old then, and a hard shape factor to infill.
6:21 pm
nrkii

the furnace broke down Thursday/Friday, and so far the plumber has been here about 12 hours, I'd guess
6:21 pm
dcseain

do you know the part? I've tons of relatives in pipefitting/hvac, and may be able to help
6:21 pm

red, send it on up, I'd love it!

6:22 pm
dcseain

hi, feather
6:23 pm
nrkii

I'd be slightly less frustrated if the stupid circuit breaker hadn't tripped.... I had to go through my bedrooms upstairs and unplug alarm clocks and such so I won't trip it again in the middle of the night
6:23 pm
nrkii

feels like Apollo 13, when they're trying to get the exact right sequence to turn things on so they don't overload the system
6:23 pm
dcseain

what bother! you'd think they'd have disconnected the shorted part
6:24 pm
dcseain

i'm sure it does, nrkii
6:24 pm
nrkii

though I suppose this is slightly less life-threatening
6:24 pm
dcseain

usually, if it's not horribly cold there.
6:24 pm
nrkii

oh no, it's not the furnace that's the issue with the circuit, it's the space heaters I have plugged in all over the place (LOL)
6:24 pm
dcseain

are you worried about pipes yet?
6:24 pm
dcseain

ah, gotcha, nrkii :)
6:24 pm
featherbee

just try to not set yourself or the house on fire, ok nrk?
6:25 pm
dcseain

yes, what feather said
6:25 pm
nrkii

we have heaters pointed at the danger spots for the pipes, and the taps dripping in the most dangerous spots
6:25 pm
nrkii

plumber says the pipes should hold out
6:25 pm
nrkii

yeah, setting the house on fire is a worry... not sure if I should turn off some of the space heaters tonight...
6:25 pm
dcseain

li4.5 makes me want to go to the local pizza/pasta joint, which is call le4.5's LOL
6:25 pm
dcseain

may that the pipes do hold out.
6:25 pm
nrkii

though these aren't particularly dangerous ones... not propane or anything like that
6:25 pm
kje

I know that place dc - decent pizza
6:26 pm

6:26 pm

harpjane

well it's his DAY but GWB is still the president
10:08 pm
bichon

Jacula, what are you doing up at 4 AM?
10:08 pm
Jacula

MrP - I do feel that Obama's story might not end well. Not because I don't think he'll make a good president, but sometimes I 'feel things', I did when Kennedy's brother became a senator, and I was ony a child then.
10:08 pm
mrpresident

bichon... she is always up at 4am
10:08 pm
bichon

Obama can't be worse than what we've had
10:09 pm
mrpresident

I know what you mean jac.
10:09 pm

Not always up at 4am but quite often, hence the net nick of the vampire kind.
10:10 pm

Well, MrP, let's hope I'm wrong.

10:22 pm
Jacula

Yes - wide + wagg;y end of a lamb.
10:23 pm
meliae

doh found it
10:24 pm
Jacula

di8/5 was the hardest one to find for me.
10:24 pm
Jacula

2nd one, that is.
10:24 pm
Jacula

But my last word found was a plural. DOH!
10:25 pm
meliae

oh i found that one easy
10:25 pm
meliae

oh that one dont have it yet
10:25 pm
Jacula

Horses for courses and all that, Mel. In other words, we see what we are familiar with.
10:26 pm
Jacula

My last word was a revolving ro6.
10:26 pm
meliae

hmmm thinking
10:26 pm
Jacula

Helicopter blades.
10:27 pm
Jacula

I should have been familiar with that ro6, since Father Christmas flew right past our window on Xmas day in a ruddy great yellow Sea King helicopter.
10:31 pm
Jacula

MrP. Have you settled in your newest house now?
10:34 pm
Jacula

Interestng grid. It begins with 'excited activity' and end with a 'human trunk, possibly multilated'. Sounds like it represents a typical day in Babbleonia.
10:34 pm
stidmama

hello all! here to clue, but I see Jacula, so know I am not needed.
10:34 pm
stidmama

*lounging around looking decorative instead of useful*
10:34 pm
Jacula

Stid - stay! I'm about to go.
10:34 pm
meliae

ok i give on the di 7/8
10:34 pm
stidmama

really jacula?? but I don't smell that bad -- i took a shower!
10:34 pm
stidmama

di 7/8 first pair is two building blocks of matter
10:35 pm
Jacula

LOL, stid. You smell lovely, but it's 4.35am here.
10:35 pm
stidmama

oh, silly, me. the first 8 is two building blocks.
10:35 pm
stidmama

the 7 is a small sea critter with a calcium shell, used in gardens (it's the plural of the 6)
10:35 pm
meliae

i need the second one
10:36 pm
Jacula

di7/36 = plural of the di6.24
10:36 pm
stidmama

and the last 8 was clued by BR earlier... let me think
10:36 pm
meliae

doh, silly plurals get me every time
10:37 pm
Jellen

Hello again...
10:37 pm
stidmama

looks like spanish for god (singular) + vowel + letter after b + ending that means "practice of"
10:37 pm
stidmama

hey jellen --- I hope you can do a better job cluing that second di 8
10:38 pm
stidmama

did you survive your weekend in the boonies?
10:38 pm
Jacula

di8 = in the botany world is being sexually distinct, but it looks like a religious word re dieoceses etc.
10:38 pm
Jellen

Nope, don't think so!
10:38 pm
Jellen

Yes, I survived...
10:39 pm
Jacula

di8 (last one) = di + ring + anagram of 'mices'.
10:39 pm
Jellen

Although I'm happy they don't expect more than one visit a year!
10:40 pm
meliae

yay got it, thank you
10:40 pm
stidmama

di 8 == add a female deer: d**; and constructive criti****
10:40 pm
Jacula

Oh, don't start singing that 'I Willl Suvive' song. I hate it!
10:40 pm
stidmama

that was BR's clues... LOL
10:40 pm
stidmama

that is how I feel about my inlaws... nice people, but they haven't gone out of their way to either visit here or invite us there for so long... it's hard on the children of course, but easier on me.
10:41 pm
Jacula

Families are hard work, aren't they?
10:41 pm
stidmama

how's tim doing, jellen?
10:42 pm
Jacula

You can choose your friends, but you can't....
10:42 pm
stidmama

yes, jacula, they are. especially the extended ones. especially when one grew up so far from any family that there is no experience with it.
10:42 pm
Jacula

I know, stid. ((HUGS))
10:43 pm
stidmama

I have no idea how to handle the families where everyone is all on top of each other. they make me nervous.
10:43 pm
Jellen

Tim is fine...being a poot, though...
10:43 pm
stidmama

LOL (((hugs Jac)))
10:43 pm
stidmama

oh oh... *stern mama look at tim*
10:43 pm
Jellen

Just kidding...he's watching me...
10:43 pm
Jacula

Stid - is your story still being told. If so, can I get the latest link to it, pleae?
10:43 pm
stidmama

he's not eating all your truffles again?
10:44 pm
Jellen

Eating stinky Pringles...
10:44 pm
stidmama

I haven't done anything on the story in about six months. maybe eight. Have ideas, but no time when inspired. still, when I manage to do more... babblestory.com
10:44 pm
Jacula

Thanks, stid.
10:44 pm
stidmama

mmm. pringles... I can still eat the original version!
10:45 pm
Jellen

brb...
10:46 pm
Jacula

stid - be sure not to end up with an office full of ideas on paper like I have after about 12 years!
10:46 pm
stidmama

anyone else need clues?
10:47 pm
stidmama

today the fog never lifted. outside, or in my head, apparently... completely forgot the kid's taekwondo lesson!
10:47 pm
stidmama

oh no, jac-- I never write things down! LOL the ideas are lost to the winds of memory...
10:47 pm
Jacula

I look at some of them now and think, 'What?' I should have written then when I knew 'what'.
10:48 pm
stidmama

I am hoping to be well enough tomorrow to finish my schoolwork AND watch the inauguration AND show up in time for the kid's rehearsal AND either do those new year's cards or write for fun. *sigh* it stinks to be sick.
10:49 pm
Jacula

Stid - you mean you don't have the bedside notebook upon which is written such stuff as 'gries do huckdum abd bekms kng'?
10:49 pm
stidmama

um, I don't have a bedside table or lamp!
10:49 pm
stidmama

LOL huckdum...
10:49 pm
Jacula

That's what writing in the dark and in your sleep produces, btw.
10:50 pm
Jacula

Apparently, it also produces me coming down, switching computer back on and typing drivel.
10:50 pm
phandmd

may I have a clue for AB 5/14?
10:50 pm
stidmama

aha! LOL
10:50 pm
stidmama

A + what you do to water for tea
10:50 pm
stidmama

(((phand))) how are you and your daughter today? thought about you so much.
10:51 pm
phandmd

thnx, Stidmama
10:51 pm
phandmd

thanks, we are ok, sad, but healing our hearts by searching for a new rescue dog to adopt.
10:52 pm
stidmama

that is a lovely picture of comet and your family
10:52 pm
Jacula

ab5/14 = a + make water very, very hot in a kettle.
10:52 pm
stidmama

good for you.
10:52 pm
phandmd

my new icon is an old pic of my kids with the dog during a fall hike at sugarloaf mountain. it was taken in 2002
10:52 pm
phandmd

oh, thanks, wasn't sure you new
10:52 pm
Jacula

phan - was it you I read about much, much earlier, who had had a beloved dog run over and daughter saw it happen?
10:53 pm
phandmd

yes, except it wasn't the daughter but her friend that saw it happen
10:53 pm
Jacula

If so, very sorry to hear that and it was a hard lesson for a youngster to learn about keeping a dog on a leash.
10:54 pm
phandmd

yes, it is. I tried to tell her numerous times. She said he just took off before she could get the leash on him.
10:54 pm
phandmd

I suppose that is my fault, we always put it on him on the front porch. Should have been done inside.
10:55 pm
stidmama

and dogs will do that, phand -- we live in a very rural area. Usually it is safe to just let Lucky out -- we don't even have a fence yard -- and call him back in a couple minutes. But every once in a while he just goes after something.
10:55 pm
Jacula

I guess, if she was in a car, she shoul now put the leash on before opening the door. If she walked dog there, he should have been on a leash (we call it on a lead in UK, btw) anyway.
10:56 pm
phandmd

I live on a very quiet street too, go figure
10:56 pm
Jacula

But it's happened now, nothing to be done about it. Try not to stress too much. xx
10:57 pm
Jellen

So sorry, phandmd...
10:57 pm
Jacula

Dogs just dash at times.
10:57 pm
phandmd

thank you, Jellen
10:57 pm
stidmama

speaking of dogs and "outside" ... *watching too big for house dog pacing back and forth*
10:57 pm
Jacula

No one's fault really,other than the dog's mistake.
10:58 pm
stidmama

tom says he's been outside recently... LOL never enough!
10:58 pm
stidmama

so, next clue?
10:58 pm
phandmd

well, yes, especially since he ran out to the street between our cars in the driveway, so driver couldn't see him until she hit him.
10:59 pm
phandmd

I do think though she must have been driving too fast based on where his body was and where her vehicle stopped. but then there were no skid marks so, now that I think of it maybe I am wrong
10:59 pm
phandmd

Stid, I could use the AR 5 pls
11:00 pm
Jellen

ar + robotic ending
11:00 pm
Jacula

Phan - probably best not to dwell on it too much.
11:00 pm
stidmama

ar 5 looks babblety -- ar + hemorrh***
11:00 pm
phandmd

thnx, Jellen
11:00 pm
stidmama

jellen was too fast! *watching smoke clear slowly*
11:00 pm
phandmd

Oh, I hate when they lift their ugly heads
11:01 pm
Jacula

It was mostly the dog's error, Phan.
11:01 pm
stidmama

LOL phand! *small babblets and gremlins making appearance*
11:01 pm
phandmd

yes, it was. The nice thing is at least he had a long life, he was 12.
11:02 pm
Jacula

That's something then, Phan. xx
11:02 pm
phandmd

we take what we can get.
11:03 pm

did anyone here ever do lincoln-douglas debate in high school? or college?
11:03 pm

I know, it's completely off topic...

stidmama

oh, my heart just melted when I saw snickers!
11:04 pm
Jellen

I've judged L-D debate, stid...
11:04 pm
Jacula

I type that so easily, yet I've still not got oer having to take my almost 18 year old dog, who was a member of the famil, to be put to sleep. He originally a puppy stray who was thrown out of a car onto a busy road in August, presumably so the owners could go on holiday
11:04 pm
phandmd

she does look sweet doesn't she
11:05 pm
stidmama

rofl at the description of the lab, though... i suppose that is an important consideration. *sad look*
11:05 pm
phandmd

Oh wow, Jacula, how awful. I am glad that you were able to give him a wonderfully full life. God bless you.
11:06 pm
phandmd

Yes. He looks smart to me too.
11:06 pm
stidmama

okay -- so my son, in the one round I was able to view on friday was speaking SO FAST in his affirmative opening speech that even I, his mother, couldn't understand, let alone follow. I assume it's worse for judges.
11:06 pm
phandmd

I can't wait to meet them. Hope it can be real soon.
11:06 pm
stidmama

good for you jac. what a lucky fellow your pup was!
11:06 pm
Jacula

Over a decade on, I now feel ready to say Hello to another dog. However, I have custody of a daughter-brought-in cat who thinks, nay, KNOWS, he's a tiger and hates dogs.
11:06 pm
phandmd

Was he nervous Stid.
11:07 pm
phandmd

that's funny, Jacula. Isn't it funny how cats can be? I love them.
11:07 pm
stidmama

it seems to be a common problem with the debaters (I have judged some public forum and student congress)... is there any way to convince a teen to remove a bit of material?
11:07 pm
stidmama

no, not nervous so much as trying to cram ten minutes' worth of speechifying into four.
11:07 pm
Jellen

First affirmative speeches shouldn't be fast, stid, since they're prewritten and timed...
11:07 pm
phandmd

When I lost my childhood cat of 19/20 years, it took me 9 years to get another one.
11:08 pm
Jellen

I guess it depends upon what the judges put up with...
11:08 pm
Jacula

phan - I can see you're a sensitive soul like me.
11:09 pm
stidmama

as much as I dearly love Lucky... I have already decided no more critters once he has had enough of this life. I would love to be able to put on clean clothes and reach the car without looking like the bottom of a kennel.
11:09 pm
phandmd

yes, I wouldn't be looking for another dog if it weren't for the kids. They are driving me, but now I actually feel like it is the right thing to do.
11:09 pm
Jellen

I became disgusted with policy debate and debaters because of their speed and increased informality...I won't judge them any more...
11:09 pm
stidmama

that's what I thought, jellen -- I know that new concepts can't be added later on, I think that is why they try to cram so much into the first aff. but it seems counterproductive.
11:10 pm
Jacula

Cat's a male cat - but I still keep my female cat's ashes beside me on a bookshelf, next to the armchair she liked to sit on. She arrived just aftre my dog's death and he told me her liked her.
11:11 pm
stidmama

I am considering looking at sitting in on a few individual events, and then judging those next year. that's what i did in high school -- dramatic interpretation and improv.
11:11 pm
phandmd

aww, how nice.
11:11 pm
stidmama

I think I would be able to judge those better. I am not myself a "complex thinker"
11:11 pm
Jellen

I love to judge extemporaneous speaking...

The only photo ever taken of the 2 cats close together in the house, was taken by my daughter, who took the pic because it had never been seen before. That was the day the female cat died.

11:14 pm

The male cat we still have, although his friendly first advance had been blown away, was missing hi Mum. Our female cat didn't want to BE his Mum, but ended up being so in a 'keep your distance' kind of way. He pined for ages after she died.
