12:11 am

westford

nbt with a bad word

12:12 am

stidmama

*hands dee fishes*

going to hope stidkid #1 is finally on a plane to Cairns, apparently the one he was supposed to get on in Sydney was grounded for thunderstorms. And so we are STILL waiting for the call that he is safely done with flying for a couple weeks.

12:12 am

jillibus

west, it does sound rather sweet, though

12:12 am

stidmama

go west go! *wonderign what bad word it could be*

12:13 am

westford

not so bad as slangy look down your shirt and spell attic

12:14 am

westford

the flying takes so long but imagine if he went there on a ship

12:14 am

stidmama

*puzzling over west's clue* methinks the papers titled "Neuroimaging and research into second language acquisition" and "Modulation of Frontal Lobe Speech Areas Associated with the Production and Perception of Speech Movements" look easier

12:14 am

stidmama

true, a ship would be far more nerve-wracking for me!

12:15 am

jillibus

those papers sound very interesting, stid

12:15 am

westford

don't be so literal stid lol

12:15 am

stidmama

*grinning at west*

12:15 am

2:08 am

Silverback

Hi Just

2:08 am

Just1Mar

2:08 am

Book Doctor Gwen

hi ho

2:08 am

Just1Mar

yw book!

2:08 am

jillibus

hi silver -- the theme was not just drinks -- it was "A new Cocktail Recipe"

2:09 am

Just1Mar

oh well for me add tonic and voila!

2:09 am

Book Doctor Gwen

how many more cocktails do we need? sheesh lol

2:09 am

Silverback

Ohh ! Back to the drawing board Lol.

2:09 am

Just1Mar

a piece of lemon or lime if you like is fine too

2:10 am

Book Doctor Gwen

one part grape juice, one part Vernors ginger ale. Done.

2:10 am

Just1Mar

lol book....make that maybe cranberry juice (unsweetened) good for urinary tracts!

2:10 am

Soodlebum

Hi all - What a teeny weeny grid

2:11 am

Silverback

Hi Soodle

2:11 am

Just1Mar

I don't know what Vernors ginger ale is...all I know is Canada Dry or Shweppes

2:11 am

Book Doctor Gwen

no, it's a real recipe, got it from my mom, she learned it when she was little

2:11 am

Soodlebum

Hey there Mr Guinness!!

2:11 am

Just1Mar

or store brand yech

2:11 am

Book Doctor Gwen

vernors ginger ale is a detroit product, although you can get it elsewhere. way better than all other ginger ales, yum!

2:12 am

Just1Mar

do they make it sugar free too?

2:12 am

Silverback

I thought there was a drinks theme Soodle ,but it was for cocktails.So Guinness and black.Lol.

2:12 am

Just1Mar

I was in detroit a couple of times....but never saw that prob cause I never looked

2:13 am

Book Doctor Gwen

yeah, there's sugar-free vernors, but i would not drink it. sugar is still healthier than that aspartame crap

2:13 am

Just1Mar

they do have great mediteranean (sp?) food tho...

2:13 am

Book Doctor Gwen

no ceffeine in vernors, though, so i drink it for my soda-fix when i'm avoiding coke

2:13 am

Just1Mar

well I disagree with you there but that's okay

2:14 am

jillibus

If yoou need to know the theme you can always check my profile, or better still, check Sprite's or http://tinyurl.com/6z7unz

2:14 am

Just1Mar

well the do have caffeine free coke here and diet version too..

2:14 am

Book Doctor Gwen

aspartame is a neurotoxin. not good.

2:14 am

herinfernallady

Hi

2:14 am

Just1Mar

and refined sugar is total poison...

2:14 am

Book Doctor Gwen

yuck! diet, caffeine-free pop? pointless!! like beer without beer in it. lol

2:14 am

jillibus

hi herin

2:14 am

Just1Mar

hiya herin ..long time no see

2:15 am

herinfernallady

Busy with work

2:15 am

Just1Mar

well that's the beauty of diversity book! to each his/her own!

2:15 am

herinfernallady

Hugs Hi OSGMA. I am having an issue

2:15 am

Silverback

Keep clear of that aspartame.I am diabetic and it caused me some problems.

2:16 am

Just1Mar

some drinks are sweetened now with splenda (yech)

2:16 am

Book Doctor Gwen

i do avoid aspartame. and it tastes bad to me anyway, so it's easy to avoid

2:16 am

herinfernallady

I have a question to ask my intelligent Babble people

2:16 am

Just1Mar

my bro in law is diabetic and crap he drinks like a dozen diet cokes a day

2:17 am

Just1Mar

that's how I feel about splenda

2:17 am

Just1Mar

so jilli...you wanting some more clues.....or shall I leave?

2:18 am

Just1Mar

waiting herin....:)

2:18 am

Book Doctor Gwen

isn't splenda some kind of fructose?

2:18 am

herinfernallady

Ok what do you think about programs that support young offenders that have been imprisioned

2:19 am

Just1Mar

not sure Gwen...just know that it's like calorie free like equal

2:19 am

Book Doctor Gwen

4 to go, OY

2:19 am

ursh

hello all - could someone list the A's i am missing one

2:19 am

Book Doctor Gwen

herin, i support all forms of restorative justice

2:19 am

Just1Mar

an 4,5,4,5 at 6

2:19 am

ursh

nm i found it

2:19 am

Book Doctor Gwen

(looking up splenda . . .)

2:20 am

herinfernallady

I am in a quandary.I don't know whether I agree on the concept or not. it is something we have to do for class

2:20 am

Just1Mar

splenda evidentally doesn't break down in heat so it;s used for baking a lot

2:20 am

Just1Mar

I think it depends on the crime herin....

2:21 am

Just1Mar

murder..definately not...prosecute to the full extent of the law

2:21 am

herinfernallady

we are talking about very serious offences. Some of the kids are in there for murder

2:21 am

Book Doctor Gwen

hmmm, seems splenda is made of sucralose, which is a diff kind of plastic sweetener than aspartame, and which does not become a neurotoxin under heat (which aspartame does)

2:22 am

Book Doctor Gwen

herin, the principle is sound whether the person was charged with a serious crime or not.

2:22 am

Just1Mar

well I never bake with aspartame...so I guess I'm safe...besides maybe I have 4 8 oz glasses of soft drinks a week if that much

2:22 am

herinfernallady

I am concerned that I am going to be raising funds to potentially help a person that has committed a very serious crime, like murder and assault.

2:23 am

Just1Mar

I have absolutely no kindness towards young offenders who do serious crimes like that...imho

2:23 am

herinfernallady

My question is does any one deserve a second chance and half of me says no and half says yes. I just don't know

2:24 am

Book Doctor Gwen

if you have a bottle of diet soda (aspartame) and you accidentally leave it in your car on a hot day, it become toxic.

2:24 am

Just1Mar

like I said...depends on the actural crime and the circumstances surrounding it herin

2:24 am

herinfernallady

this is my concern. do you help people better themself that could reoffend or do you say stuff you.

2:25 am

Just1Mar

but then I'd never drink it gwen!

2:25 am

Book Doctor Gwen

herin, everyone deserves a second chance. (okay, there are probably a few exceptions, like people with severe psychosis, but most convict are not that)

2:25 am

Just1Mar

do you have to generalize herin or is this based on actual crimes?

2:25 am

herinfernallady

This is to raise money for an organisation that helps young offenders.

2:26 am

Book Doctor Gwen

i have a friend who drank some diet pop that got overheated -- he was too poor to just throw it out, he said -- and had difficulty walking for a week

2:26 am

Just1Mar

oh that is sad gwen...

2:27 am

Book Doctor Gwen

2:27 am

Just1Mar

only sugary pop I'll drink is the shweppes tonic that goes with my beefeater (wink)

2:28 am

herinfernallady

I am so in a quandary. I take after my dad on one side that says stuff you you did the crime of rape murder assualt got in a car drove it at high speed and killed some one stuff you. And half like my mum which is you deserve help

2:28 am

Just1Mar

looking jilli...

2:28 am

Just1Mar

ta's are complete

2:28 am

Book Doctor Gwen

herin, consider this: we have drug laws based on the worst case drug addicts and giving them ridiculous punishments for non-violent possession. wouldn't it be better to get these "criminals" out of jail/prison where they cost money, and back in to the world where they can make money and pay taxes again?

2:29 am

Oh hi there Haz!

5:54 am

Eva

He says thank you-we tell him how beautiful he is many times a day...probably not good for his ego, but we can't help it. Are all of thos cats yours?! The brown longhair looks very much like Merp-that Maine Coon body type.

Don't they let you stay around to tell how wonderful your place is?

5:54 am

Haz1558

Good morning lynnate.

5:55 am

Haz1558

Fingers crossed for you.

5:56 am

FMitch

Is S keeping occupied and not under your feet too much or are you hiding in babbleland?

5:57 am

Haz1558

He's keeping occupied, lots of hedges to cut at his sister's place.

5:57 am

Haz1558

The good news is that we have finally finished the bedroom. The doors were fitted this morning.

5:58 am

6:03 am

6:04 am

Haz1558

You're doing your usual backward approach?

6:05 am

FMitch

yes, it may seem perverse but it works for me.

6:05 am

FMitch

not that i usually manage to grey each tile as I go.

6:06 am

Haz1558

It's just interesting that people have different approaches and methods.

6:07 am

FMitch

very true, and the only reason I work backwards is that I can see the list of words I am working and can catch pls etc, or at least that is the theory.

6:09 am

Haz1558

Some day I'll try it to see.

6:10 am

FMitch

It works well on the medium sized grid but with the big one it all tends to go out of the window and the monkeys kick in about half way though.
Lovely sunny day here btw.

6:11 am

Haz1558

Yes. nice here as well but the forecast for tomorrow isn't great. We had some really heavy downpours yesterday but it'ls looking quite settled today.

not that I was doubting you or anything but v unusual for such a small one!

6:16 am

Eva

6:16 am

dan - all teenagers at some point in their lives think they know it all and parents are just silly old sods who dont know anything - then when it all comes crashing down it'll be the oldies that they run to first. My son is 30 now but I let him do his thing - gave him a bollocking when i thought he needed it and sometimes in the line of being cruel to be kind - laughed at him as well as with him - now i see him more often than i ever see my parents and he still comes on holiday with us

Hello Jmc.

treatment for PF is stretching and PT... NSAIDS only if you have pain

5:01 pm

then you'll just need to decide if the surgery is worth it or whether you can live with some discomfort and change your habits

5:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi all. no list :(

5:08 pm

bubba218

Probably retro-calcaneal spur or calcification of the achilles insertion, entesopathy. Try physical therapy with gradual but aggressive gastroc-soleus stretching, heel raises, ultra-sound, massage, ice, etc. Surgery is effective, but a real long post-op course.

5:08 pm

the PT sounds good red.... go PT

5:09 pm

hello TO list in bab anon

**enthesiopathy**

5:10 pm

redturtlehead

I think bubba,I amnot going the surgery route. I amalready extra flexible...but I can still run on it. Icould n otdeal with the post op.....maybe they will do the US,

5:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

ooh i am chewing on those clues...

5:10 pm

redturtlehead

Thanks bubba!!!!!!!!!!

5:10 pm

kje

hey bubba... are you somewhere that you got the new influx of trainees?

5:11 pm

redturtlehead

Oh No kje is about to brag about h er good ones.

5:11 pm

bubba218

Three different hospitals, about 20 new residents started on 7-1

5:11 pm

5:12 pm

redturtlehead

Whooo Hooo bubba! doing well.

5:12 pm

kje

red does not like theirs bubba

5:12 pm

kje

makes me feel bad for them... the nurses beating up on them like that

5:13 pm

zoozzoom

go TO gooooo

5:13 pm

bubba218

Some good, some just lazy, but they will be beat into shape or suffer the consequences

5:13 pm

redturtlehead

I like one of them, the rest are not so smart. They thought that during a code their job was to put in IV's....liek they are going to be ableto dothat better than a nurse...

5:13 pm

kje

they freaked out red - LOL

5:14 pm

bubba218

unfortunately, we are unionized, committee of interns and residents, so you don't have a lot of recourse without dealing with the union, very different from when I was a resident.

5:14 pm

bubba218

can not get the re6 clue

5:14 pm

redturtlehead

We are not a high ranked program in EM, so, I should not expect them to be brilliant.

5:15 pm

kje

wow, you must be in boston - that is the only group unionized that i know of.... seriously? unionized... wtf

5:15 pm

NY C, they are paid very well, PGY-1 starts at almost 50K with benes, 2 weeks vacation, 14 sick days, 5 personal days, health, disability, etc, etc etc

5:16 pm

redturtlehead

I'm feeling very well TO. I was very surprised to find oth my feet are not as good as I feel!

5:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok,,,

5:16 pm

kje

14 sick days? we were not allowed to be sick

5:16 pm

redturtlehead

14 sick days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I get 6.

5:16 pm

bubba218

that did it, finitio

5:16 pm

redturtlehead

Yaaay Bubba.

5:16 pm

kje

but, 50K in NYC doesn't go very far

5:16 pm

bubba218

so a 12 month program is basically slightly less then 11

5:16 pm

kje

wtg bubba!!!

5:17 pm

redturtlehead

14 sick days go far in anypart of the world.

5:18 pm

kje

but do they take those sick days?

5:18 pm

bubba218

the pgy4's and 5's always like to stay for a fellowship, they are making 75k + benes and everything is taken care of.

5:18 pm

kje

i would think they would need docs note or something to take their sick days

5:18 pm

redturtlehead

Thank you everyone for the helpful discussion on my feet and ankles.

5:18 pm

redturtlehead

LOLkje, a docs note from whom?

5:18 pm

kje

i don't even get 14 sick days - LOL

5:18 pm

bubba218

you bet, they take every day they can, and then some, plus they get 2 conferences a year with airfare and lodging and cost of conference

5:20 pm

kje

red... it is so annoying, since i work at a state school, we have to abide by the same rules as every secretary etc in the whole UT system... so if we are out 3 days, we need a doc note - i had the flu last year and only missed 3 days and they made me get a freakin note.... (well kinda, I ignored them)

5:20 pm

bubba218

last year 3 of them took a 2 week conference in Russia studying Ilizarov frames

5:20 pm

kje

wow, bubba... that is better than most programs i know of

5:20 pm

redturtlehead

what is a lizarov frame?

5:21 pm

kje

that is amazing the school would pay for that, bubba

5:22 pm

bubba218

The hospital pays for the trips, I think they can get some sort of reinbursement for educational conferences?? kje, got to run, I have a meeting, I was in the OR all day and now I have a meeting, but no one is paying my bills except me, so got to run

5:22 pm

kje

hagn, bubba

5:22 pm

redturtlehead

Bubba, thanks for the advice.

5:22 pm

kje

and hang in there

5:45 pm

5:55 pm

jwr

5:56 pm

Trifioso

thanks, jwr. it's actually made up of the first few letters of each of my kids' real names

5:56 pm

secooper

fireworks and hey everyone

5:57 pm

Trifioso

we were actually discussing the other day how many HP words we now use in regular conversation - muggle, etc. When one of us wants something passed to them, we occasionally point to it, and say "accio remote!" and the person nearest the remote will pass it over.

5:57 pm

Hey Secooper!

5:59 pm

5:59 pm

Trifioso

they are going to ireland on saturday for my MIL's birthday party.

5:59 pm

stidmama

oh! that's nice, I think... is it quieter?

6:00 pm

stidmama

that's pretty neat, trifioso -- have they been there before?

6:00 pm

Trifioso

yes, this is the second time in paris for each of them, and about their 100th time to ireland.

6:01 pm

stidmama

gee. such jet-setters! LOL

6:01 pm

jwr

... whoops ... in the middle of a sentence and that didn't make any sense, did it? Here's the end: His mom came out, arms akimbo and shouted "what do you think you're doing? trying out for quiddich?

6:01 pm

Trifioso

their dad is irish.

6:01 pm

stidmama

I think going the couple hundred miles to Victoria BC or (slightly further) to Ashland OR (N or S, respectively) is a big deal!

6:01 pm

stidmama

hello jwr

6:01 pm

Trifioso

quidditch reference for the WIN

6:02 pm

secooper

i would love to go to paris sometime

6:02 pm

stidmama

I figured if his mother was there, he was probably not Russian...

6:02 pm

Trifioso

me too, secooper, me too!

6:02 pm

jwr

hi stid. Did I misspell quidditch?

6:02 pm

Trifioso

actually, for what we spent at ikea today, you probably COULD go to Paris!

6:02 pm

secooper

haha!

6:02 pm

stidmama

I don't know about paris, though Ireland calls me (county Down, where the Conn family came from); and I would love to visit Italy though that shall never happen.

6:03 pm

Trifioso

why not, stid?

6:03 pm

stidmama

redecorating, trifioso?

6:03 pm

stidmama

Allergies. Can't eat most of the food (no wheat, no eggplant, no land animals -- fatal allergies) and their smoking habit would be very uncomfortable for me.

6:04 pm

Trifioso

geesh. I should think that rules out ireland too.

6:04 pm

Trifioso

they are *not* the healthiest-eating people I have met

6:05 pm

jwr

Ikea makes me dizzy. I'm quitting with four to go and no tickets to anywhere. But it's a gorgeous San Francisco day so out for a walk i go. Ta, all.

6:05 pm

stidmama

yes, probably -- though at least I can communicate the urgency of the what I "can't" eat and why if I go there. I can survive on boiled potatoes with salt for weeks on end if necessary!

6:05 pm

stidmama

later jwr. have a lovely afternoon!

6:05 pm

Trifioso

can we talk you out of it, jwr?

6:05 pm

Trifioso

oh, in that case, you would eat like a king

6:05 pm

secooper

No, I didn't grill. I seared it last night. Only, I don't like the fish the way "real" cooks cook it--I hate the texture unless it's what "real" cooks call overcooked!

I am sure it would not arrive in one piece, LOL, but thanks for the gesture!

Little kids, as I recall, lull you into a false sense of security as to whether they're in the land of Nod or not. Just as you are creeping out of the room... they sit up and ask for a drink/story/cuddle. LOL The trick is to be very boring and not entertaining.

7:27 pm

featherbee

wow, down to only 13 left after my first pass. going to see if i can do it listless.

7:28 pm

featherbee

we're in a hotel right now, a suite. so i'm in the living area, which is out of sight by a half-height wall. yay for suites!

7:29 pm

featherbee

he was having a rollicking good time earlier. i decided to check, and he had stuffed his books under the sheet, and thrown his water, lovey, and a few other books out. got him set to rights and bingo.

7:29 pm

Jacula

Go for it Heather. There are no 'really weird' words in here. re7 might take some getting and te8 might make you puzzle for a moment or two.

7:29 pm

Jacula

Yea, suites are good, Heather.

7:30 pm

featherbee

8:47 pm

rururocks

8:50 pm

abetterjulie

thanks again for list.

8:50 pm

Nef

if there is a recist, bigotted, political, or just plain lying email out there; she seems to get them all and then she sends them to me to check out and see what's true or not. It's kind of fun; she usually gets them from 1 or 2 certain relatives; and then I send her a rebuttal from Snopes, factorfiction, urban legends, politifactcheck, etc.

10:11 pm

Jacula

A dictionary will only help if you have a word list, and maybe not even then if you're not familiar with the words you seek. Your best bestis the chog and seasoned Babblers clueing you.

10:12 pm

Jacula

fa6/27 - what you do with the calf to plump it up for a feast.

10:12 pm

JenMO16

Jacula, i am not familiar with a Sicilian volcano

10:13 pm

10:13 pm

Jacula

fa5/20 - what you might unkindly call your obese friend.

10:13 pm

JenMO16

10:14 pm

Jacula

fa5/16 = fa + *** Sharples from the oriiginal Coronation Street. (Google it.)

10:15 pm

Jacula

fa4/7 = I love this band/group/thing!+ a vowel.

10:15 pm

Jacula

Jen - try Googling 'sicilican volcano'.

10:15 pm

Minveryork

Jacula is a very seasoned babbler.She is like Allstate. You're in good hands with Jacula, JenMO16.

10:16 pm

JenMO16

LOL min, but some of her clues are mystifying me!

10:16 pm

Jacula

Min - you're complimenting me. Are you trying to wriggle off to bed again? LOL

10:17 pm

Jacula

Jem - I don't belive in spelling out clue-wise.

10:17 pm

Jacula

*believe

10:17 pm

JenMO16

got the volcano!

10:18 pm

Minveryork

Jen is a new, so trying to make her feel comfortable.

10:18 pm

Jacula

Well done, Jen. Did you Google Corrie for it?

10:18 pm

JenMO16

my eyes certanly are tired!

10:18 pm

Jacula

Min - I think she'll soon slot in.

10:18 pm

JenMO16

no Jacula, i googled Sicily volcano

10:19 pm

Jacula

LOL, Jem.

10:19 pm

JenMO16

13 words to go

10:20 pm

Jacula

Min - have you emerged from behind that palm plant yet? I still want a pic of you. There's caution and then there's too much caution.x

10:21 pm

Jacula

I mean, even if you're cross-eyed with no teeth and half a head... we've been talking for a long time now and I don't really care what you look like but would like to see you.

10:22 pm

Minveryork

I haven't posted my pic anywhere online,not even on facebook. Maybe I will surprise you some day Jacula.

10:23 pm

Jacula

E-mail it to me Min. You haven't friended me on FB yet, I think.

10:23 pm

JenMO16

hey! i still need some hints!

10:23 pm

Jacula

We haven't forgotten you, Jen.

10:24 pm

JenMO16

i need the t 0/1

10:24 pm

Minveryork

So what do you need. We don't know if you don't ask.

10:25 pm

Jacula

first t word is ta4/4 - like the art gallery.

10:25 pm

Minveryork

I am not "friends" with anybody from babble.I am not too fond of facebook. I am never on it. Would rather be here than on facebook. Babble is so much better!

10:26 pm

JenMO16

dense brain

10:26 pm

Jacula

True, Min, ut you can do private messages and /or chat on FB o chat on MSN.

10:26 pm

Jacula

*but

10:27 pm

Jacula

Dense brain. Is that one full of knowledge or one that is too thick for stuff to penetrate? LOL

10:28 pm

Minveryork

I'm not on facebook long enough to chat with anyone

10:28 pm

JenMO16

another clue please for second t up and down in the middle

10:28 pm

Jacula

Fair enough, Min. You obviously want to remain totally anonymous.

10:29 pm

Jacula

But, sometimes, if you trust people enough to tell them who you are privately, good friendships can be made in real life.

10:30 pm

Minveryork

What's life without a little mystery?! Thanks for your curiosity though Jacula.Glad that you are interested

10:30 pm

JenMO16

yawns

10:30 pm

Jacula

ta5/14 - a bit ragged, not very smart clothes-wise.

10:31 pm

Jacula

The mystery is beginning to pall Min. I think it's time we connected one to one.

10:32 pm

Minveryork

Anybody who knows me knows I am a private person.

10:32 pm

Jacula

You sound like my son, Min! I'm a private person, too, believe it or not.

10:33 pm

Minveryork

Chatting in a public chat room is about as public I go.

10:33 pm

Minveryork

Some people seek attention,I shy or run away from it

10:33 pm

Jacula

Well, Min, I've tried before to make private friends with you.

10:34 pm

Minveryork

It took me MONTHS to join facebook because that is REALLY public! Everyone knows your business there.

10:35 pm

Jacula

I'm a writer, but I can't think of anything worse than attracting attention by doing it. I'd like to have alll of the money JKR has earned from writing the Harry Potter saga, but I wouldn't want to be her.

10:36 pm

Jacula

Min - you can set your stuff on FB so that everyone does not see every moveyou make.

10:37 pm

Jacula

Min - if you find Police's track 'I'll Be Watching YOu' or is it called 'Every Move You Make'? as creepy as I do, we're in accord. And, if I can friend people on FB, in the light of that, so can you.

10:39 pm

Jacula

BTw - I hovered for 2 years before joining FB and only did sso in the end 'cos my daughter left home and wanted to show me her pics and news that way,

10:39 pm

Minveryork

That song is called "Every Breath You Take". I never thought of song as creepy, but I guess the lyrics are

10:40 pm

Jacula

But, now I'm in there, I've hooked up with friends, neighbours and family and enjoy playing word games with Babblers on there.

10:41 pm

Jacula

Min - even creepier. Yes.

10:43 pm

Minveryork

I found a few HS friends on facebook which was good

10:44 pm

Jacula

HS?

10:47 pm

Minveryork

High School

10:48 pm

Jacula

Oh right. Didn't think of that.

10:49 pm

Jacula

10:49 pm

Jacula
