I think it may be when they put a tree/branch on that highest point Sprite

2:45 am

FMitch

Yes sprite, it's when the last beam is put in place. So it signifies the end of the major build part of the project.

2:47 am

sprite

we have a ceremony when the building reaches its highest point. The builders etc get 'pannenbier' : beer for the roof tiles.

morning, alll. things got a little exciting last night. there was a huge storm cell in the area, with hail, lightning, thunder and RAIN, with some heavy winds. luckily, we made it home safely (we drove through part of it, and we had no damage.

4:38 am

metaleather

hi Angel

4:38 am

hi all, hi angel, . Good that you are safe n sound

yep, centralish TX storms can be wicked. (used to live in Corsicana)

4:44 am

metaleather

thanks for the recipe dinok, I've copied it and filed it away to try in future

4:47 am

Angelsong

the first thing we did when we arrived home was to unplug the computers.

4:48 am

metaleather

that's always a safe bet, just in case. even if you have surge protectors

4:49 am

Angelsong

no surge protector can really guard against lightning.

4:51 am

metaleather

very true. if it weren't for the threat of lightning strike I'd almost wish for a storm here, just to break the heat. it's been miserable here lately and it's not even the middle of june yet

5:14 am

my eldest grandson is in the grid.

Boobear

11:21 am

mrpresident

i can't eat cause of the illing feeling

11:21 am

mrpresident

oh boo, no way!!

11:22 am

mrpresident

I haven't broken out in 'rashes' LOL

11:22 am

Boobear

ok I hope you feel better soon.

11:22 am

mrpresident

I am sure that much has to do with losing my job.

11:23 am

ChrissieDee

sorry to hear that too

11:24 am

mrpresident

however, I have never felt so empowered tonight after chatting with Lickety.
He has been a charm for me! (((hugs Lickety)))

11:25 am

mrpresident

we figured something tonight... and I would like your input girls and boys

11:26 am

mrpresident

women compliment their husband/spouses etc... in public. Make them look and feel good.

Men accept the compliment, but don't respond in kind...

I wonder why?

11:28 am

phaeton

egos, mrp, egos

11:28 am

Takuma Sato

Tough for me to say, mrp - I haven't seen the same thing

11:29 am

mrpresident

Sato, I understand your position.

11:29 am

mrpresident

phae, it is totally ego and jealousy

11:31 am

mrpresident

luckly, I am very well behind this... however... the President of the P&C is so so hurt that I am not speaking with him

11:35 am

nrkii

hi all!

11:35 am

nrkii

7 words left, and no appendicitis - yay!

11:36 am

11:36 am

Takuma Sato

congrats on both counts

11:38 am

mom2han8

I am not sure what the genesis of your issue is... I don't know what P&C is either, LOL! But what drives me insane... my husband is so nonconfrontational... any time that I have had to confront an issue involving my daughter school or sports usually... he NEVER says anything!!! It drives me INSANE.

11:39 am

mom2han8

I agree that men like to have their egos stroked (maybe even need it on some level) more than women do... it is weird...

11:39 am

mom2han8

And look out if you are better at something than they are (most of the coaches/teachers who are male and had to be confronted because they were WRONG... well, let's just say they did not handle it well... LOL!).

11:42 am

Haz1558

I think it's dangerous to make generalisations about either men or women. There are some wonderful men and ghastly women - equally there are some wonderful women and ghastly men. I don't like tarring a whole gender with the same brush.

11:42 am

mom2han8

Point well made Haz... I was generalizing!

11:42 am

Takuma Sato

ta

11:43 am

Haz1558

And good morning/afternoon to all!

11:43 am

mom2han8

and some people (regardless of gender) can be both!!!!

11:43 am

BabbleRabble

male bashing is a daily occurrence here

11:43 am

Takuma Sato

hiya haz :)

11:43 am

Haz1558

Hello Takuma.

11:44 am

Haz1558

I agree, BabbleRabble, and wonder what the reaction of some of the ladies here would be if such female bashing were to happen?

11:44 am

nrkii

For the 7s, I have 2 A7, C7, D7, I7, N7, S7... missing?

11:44 am

Haz1558

ag7

11:44 am

Haz1558

Sorry, you have two a7s indicated.

11:45 am

nrkii

yep, AG and AL, but thank you!

11:45 am

Haz1558

Three a7 words

11:45 am

Haz1558

an7 is the other.

11:45 am

mom2han8

Well, as usual I had an incident (that I did not confront) at a softball game earlier in the week... my husband heard a comment made by the coach about my daughter (I did not hear it initially... told to me later by another parent... found out my husband heard it)... just kind of ridiculous... I did not, as I said, end up calling him on it as it is the last game of the season... but the fact that my husband did not call him on it really irritated me... also, found out later that my daughter heard it, too.

11:45 am

nrkii

hmmm, okay, on the hunt, tx

11:46 am

mom2han8

anyway... just a little bitter this week. Sorry. Really did not mean to "man bash"... I actually like many men! Really!

11:46 am

nrkii

oh, tums... duh

11:47 am

nrkii

4 to go...

11:47 am

Takuma Sato

This is a fun grid - I keep having the feeling that I'm close to some big words

11:47 am

Haz1558

You sound like a big game hunter, Takuma. Tread softly and the words may not hear you coming.

11:47 am

nrkii

I think it's time for me to go for a bit -- let the words build up a false sense of security before I come back for them later.

Heya peach

2:39 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

It is a cloudy day here in the northeast. Hope somebody has sunshine.

2:40 pm

redturtlehead

Oh Peach, boiling away here, up in the 90's.

2:40 pm

helensgirlkid

at last in Alberta we have sun. After four days (starting last Thurs) when it snowed a bit each day!

2:41 pm

redturtlehead

helens, I can not even imagine snow at this point.

2:41 pm

helensgirlkid

we had begun to think there would be no summer.

2:42 pm

redturtlehead

laundry is on the rinse cycle, will update on the running gear when it finishes.

2:43 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Good for you, red. But have the humidity too though?

2:44 pm

redturtlehead

Ohyes, 61 % the heat is a bit over much to me. yikes. I hope we get some rain.

2:45 pm

mom2han8

It is going to start thundering and raining any minute here!

2:45 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Yes, I now hear rain on the airconditioner

2:46 pm

mom2han8

OK... so I have never plugged anything here, but I have been having some problems with my computer, so I went to geekstogo.com... have to tell you they are awesome! Just in case someone is as computer illiterate as me... great resource!

2:46 pm

westford

red I just emailed our daughter and sil

2:46 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

We have had a lot of rain in the past two weeks. I do find it rather soothing. The sound, I mean.

2:47 pm

mom2han8

I agree peach... where are you in the US?

2:47 pm

westford

they both run

2:48 pm

redturtlehead

yes, I remember! I am finding it strange since I never really had this problem before. I am suspecting the washer, but...I am not entirely sure...

2:48 pm

westford

could be the water too

2:48 pm

westford

is it hard?

2:49 pm

mom2han8

When things are smelly (had an issue the other day with my daughter leaving a sweatshirt on the floor and the cat, well, ya know).... putting baking soda in the wash usually helps.

2:49 pm

redturtlehead

its regular I believe. city water.

2:49 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Oh, mom2, I am in Norwich, CT.

2:49 pm

redturtlehead

Mom, I just tried arm and hammer detergent and I am hoping for good stuff.

2:50 pm

mom2han8

though once I soaked something in vinegar to remove a cat urine stain, and then added baking soda to the wash... anyone remember making volcanoes in grade school??? It was kind of funny.

2:50 pm

mom2han8

OK.. so we are having the same weather then! I am in Bergen County, NJ.

2:50 pm

redturtlehead

wasit messy Mom?

2:51 pm

mom2han8

A little bit, but I got it before it dried all over the machine... like I said, it was messy, but it worked!

2:51 pm

westford

back in a bit

2:51 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Do you live in a town or outside of town?

2:52 pm

mom2han8

I usually do soak that kind of stain in vinegar... it does the trick every time.... but usually the garments are cotton... expensive running clothes... I don't know.

2:52 pm

mom2han8

Who peach... me or red?

2:52 pm

redturtlehead

town water. its acidic, but i dont know if its ahrd...

2:53 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

You, mom2.

2:53 pm

mom2han8

I'm trying to think of something that is not acidic (like vinegar or lemon juice) that would remove smelliness. There is a website that I visited... I think I just googled laundry stain tips... found a good one... covered just about everything.

2:54 pm

mom2han8

Me.. I live in a small town just west of Hackensack...

2:54 pm

Atalante

bicarb of soda is distinctly unacidic

2:55 pm

mom2han8

Oh, that might work to absorb smell...

2:55 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

My oldest daughter lived near Morristown for several years....a very nice community.

2:58 pm

Atalante

bicarb is brilliant stuff

5:22 pm

Christine

A friend bred them, but we got the one that didn't take ... would've been a moneymaker, but still, we loved him. Problem was, he was sooo inbred, he was 'slightly' stoopid, and he fell over if he closed his eyes ... think of that- same thing happens to me.

5:23 pm

nancethefan

male siamese sure are loud talkers though - i love him talking to me.

5:24 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

You know, zoom, when I first saw this, I thought it would be fairly easy...but oh no, it hasn't been. At least for me.

5:24 pm

lol - i had a calico cat after i got married that i later found was inbred - boy was she ever a handful. mean as a snake

5:24 pm

lavenders are very pale silver, mask paws and tail, as I remember. And, when DD would ring from her Dad's house, the cat would sit on my shoulder, to talk to her.

Wow, he looks so much older with short hair. What made him decide to get it cut? And what grade is he in now?

8:30 pm

stidmama

LOL no, tor -- no girls that I know of. He wants a good part in the summer play, and figured that shorter hair was more appropriate to "My Fair Lady" than long.

8:30 pm

stidmama

Actually, he was drop-dead gorgeous before... or so I surmise from the adolescent girls who call and giggle at him for hours on end... LOL

8:31 pm

Oh, you were talking to herin, Stid

8:34 pm

stidmama

the other adolescent, the one who has had MRSA probs in the past has an infected earlobe. The whole thing is purply-pink (not dark really, but noticeable), hard and slightly swollen. Going to take him to urgent care on the advice of the consulting nurse. Is there any way to "culture" an infection of this sort?

8:34 pm

herinfernallady

ok

8:34 pm

stidmama

there is no "head" to speak of, and no obvious damage, pimple or enlarged pore.

8:35 pm

herinfernallady

Stid I will have a look for those initials on your friends list

8:35 pm

stidmama

okay lady

8:35 pm

herinfernallady

THat is why i just ask for initals of someone

8:36 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, it can be incised & drained.

8:37 pm

stidmama

okay scrabbler... he is going to hate that... *sigh* ___i___ am going to thate that!

8:37 pm

herinfernallady

Stid could you please jump on Facebook chat so i can find out who yuo mean please

8:37 pm

stidmama

thanks cousin, will head out now and see what happens. I might owe him ice cream on the way home.

8:37 pm

Scrabbler

If there is an abscess the treatment = I & D = cure + chance to gather some germies

8:38 pm

herinfernallady

As i seem to be having a dense day

8:38 pm

stidmama

okay, I am not sure there is an abscess, it felt more interstitial --

8:39 pm

Scrabbler

Then it might be a cellulitis and not an abscess.

8:39 pm

Scrabbler

It takes time for an abscess to form, to mature

8:39 pm

stidmama

is cellulitis "worse" or just different? he's had HUGE abscesses before, big scars on his legs.

8:40 pm

stidmama

lady, I am logged in on facebook

8:40 pm

Scrabbler

No worse, it really depends upon the location and the germ

8:40 pm

herinfernallady

THanks Stid

8:41 pm

herinfernallady

Just pinching stid for a min sorry

8:42 pm

stidmama

okay... any way to test for the microbe with cellulitis if that's what it is?

8:43 pm

Scrabbler

Cellulitis is almost always "regular" Staph, i.e. MSSA = methicillin sensitive Staph aureus, or Strep = typical skin bacteria. Abscesses = MRSA, Staph, anaerobes

8:44 pm

Scrabbler

When was his most recent episode of MRSA?

8:46 pm

stidmama

the last diagnosed episode was a couple years ago -- though he has had a few small infections since then we have managed them at home.

8:46 pm

stidmama

so I don't know if those were MRSA or MSSA

8:46 pm

joey

scrabbler, thanks for the info. i was just diagnosed with MRSA ad didn't know what it stood for. Was too upset when they said staph to pay attention

8:47 pm

Scrabbler

Is he a wrestler? They get frequent skin infections.

8:47 pm

Scrabbler

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus--common cause for skin abscesses

8:48 pm

joey

the only problem was that i had no abscesses at all. no breaks in the skin

8:48 pm

stidmama

no, he just seemed to go through a period when he had trouble. He doesn't feel pain or pressure the way other people do, so things tend to get BIG before he mentions them.

8:48 pm

Scrabbler

Skin infections have always primarily been Staph or Strep strains, but MRSA has emerged as a common cause for abscesses over the last 5 yrs

8:49 pm

stidmama

AND he has eczema, so there's an automatic entry point for bugs to get into his system. Which is why I tend to worry.

8:50 pm

Scrabbler

Ah, that is his risk factor

8:50 pm

Scrabbler

I just passed halfway. Tough grid.

8:51 pm

stidmama

no doubt. Poor kid seems to have got the short straw on many accounts. *sad mama face* BUT he is a wonderful, strong and determined young man. *proud mama look*

11:47 pm

westford

great!! how about parking?

11:47 pm

Trifioso

I am used to driving in boston, so it's normal for me. I would probably terrify you all.....$20 event parking, which sort of stank, but I didn't have enough time to find a free street spot, unfortunately

11:48 pm

torgone

Hi/bye Trifs .. I am SO tired ..

11:48 pm

Trifioso

hello torg me love. sleep well, friend

11:48 pm

11:49 pm

torgone

11:49 pm

westford

trif we had some students from Japan staying with us and told them to take the T..he said I'm from Tokyo how bad can it be?

11:50 pm

westford

when they got back he said 'It was worse lol

11:50 pm

Trifioso

we are at the absolute other end of the red line - braintree would have been our closest. by the time we park there, pay the T fare, (twice), etc. it is close to $20, so I just drove

11:51 pm

westford

I don't blame you especially if you are used to it

11:51 pm

westford

and it turned into a beautiful night

11:51 pm

Rushie

So who's here hanging out waiting for the flip?

11:51 pm

Trifioso

time was a huge factor tonight - we thought the show was at 8, but it was at 7:30, so we had to LEG it

11:51 pm

Rushie

I see Bugsaw's on

11:52 pm

Trifioso

the train takes about 50 minutes from our end. Driving can be faster if there is no traffic.....took the red line to work every day, though

11:52 pm

Bugsaw

Yup, but I have 25 left to go

11:52 pm

Rushie

I only have 40 words lol

11:54 pm

Rushie

City life doesn't agree with me

11:55 pm

westford

11:55 pm

Rushie

Just no time in a city, once you enter the city limits you're robbed of all your time it seems

11:55 pm

Trifioso

I like that life too, rushie, but I also like to mix it up every now and then. Primo was so impressed that I knew how to navigate the streets and backways....I have city GAME

11:55 pm

Rushie

I can handle city every now and then, but I would never buy a house in the city

11:56 pm

westford

I'd buy something in Boston in a heartbeat

11:56 pm

Trifioso

anything you want, basically. it's this really cool place where you go around and choose out what you would like to have to eat, and then these nutty chefs grill it up for you right in front of your eyes. and you are allowed to eat and eat and eat....

11:56 pm

westford

oh that sounds so good
