7:28 am
crosshair
we have a chalet that is very large,3 floors cathdral ceilings sleeps 15 etc.on the first day they thought it would be great fun to toss processed cheese slices up so they stuck on the ceiling..which is 25 feet up remember.at the end of the week when we came in,said slices were now welded to the ceiling and it took 3 of us 4 hours on extension ladders to chisel the slices off the ceiling and in turn this tore the paint and top layer of paper off the drywall
7:29 am
crosshair
got to love the citiots

JBV
hi red - the 9 is an extension of the ca 6/21
7:34 am
roncook
The only reason it is not called Mexican flu,( where it originated) was to shore up the Mexican tourist trade. If everyone thought that a cheapo holiday to Mexico could end up with "swine flu" they would avoid it like the plague.!
7:34 am
Andree

Influenza A (H1N1)
7:38 am
redturtlehead
Oh yes, I fergot. its a problem, we try not to freak anyone out...
7:39 am
redturtlehead
It was a little wierd, she came in for testing, looked pale and then suddenly slumped down onto the floor, poor thing......
7:39 am
kje
we have had quite a few cases here... the vast majority do fine... it just sucks to get flu period
7:41 am
LynnNate08
fa 5/18 sec one?
7:41 am

I think I spend about 50% of my day now wearing the n 95 masks...
7:41 am
JBV
fa 5/18 - unit of electrical measure, lynn
7:43 am
kje
we isolate them, as we do all influenza, but it is important to remember that more people (by far) have died from the usual Influenza A this year than the swine flu strain... people need to not get so freaked out just b/c the media talks about it a lot
7:43 am
LynnNate08
not seein it?
7:44 am
JBV
first 5 letters of a scientist's name - fa + ***iation therapy
7:44 am
redturtlehead
exactly kje, Iam sickofwearing the mask. I look like a duck.
7:44 am
kje
that took me off guard - cracked me up
7:44 am
Soodlebum
thanks jbv
7:45 am
JBV
what kind of mask is that, red - a plastic guard?
7:45 am
redturtlehead
I dont fit the other masks.
7:46 am
redturtlehead
Its a mask specifically designed to filter out stuff. liek TB.
7:46 am
kje
plastic masks are frowned on... they usually result in asphyxiation
7:47 am
redturtlehead
I guess I could get a halloween mask, but kids dislike them.
7:48 am
JBV
I haven't seen that one - and we are spending about a day a week in the hospital
7:49 am
redturtlehead
depends on which company supplies the hospital. lots of colors and styles. I just have a wierd face, and can only wear that one.
7:50 am
kje
jbv - it doesn't really look like a duck bill, red exaggerates, though I can see the resemblance due to the fact the paper comes to an angle
7:51 am
kje
i think red should take a pic of her in it and post it!!!
7:51 am
redturtlehead
We call them ducks.
7:51 am
redturtlehead
I think red will avoid that.
7:52 am
redturtlehead
Maybe next week,or during flu season, or when I fially get my hair done. My hair is horrid!
7:53 am
kje
mine is too red.... i need to get to the salon
7:53 am
rolin
afternoon all...arent those paper masks useless for the avoidance of flu germs?
7:53 am
redturtlehead
hair is importnt, as you have to wear it every day...
7:53 am
JBV
am 6 - sounds like a name - we had a police brutality case a few years ago - victim's name was am**** diallou
7:54 am
redturtlehead
Not at all. best way to avoid the flu though is to wash hands and avoid sticking fingers in face.
7:54 am
kje
rolin, there are different types of paper masks, and some have special filters - that is what red is talking about... we use them for flu, TB, chicken pox, etc
7:55 am
rolin
oh ok..maybe i just heard about the commercial ones
7:55 am
LynnNate08
not a clue on that am 6 perhaaps another one? sorry
7:55 am
redturtlehead
even the regular paper masks help stem the spread, if people with the flu use them, because it stops the spread when coughing...sneexzing.
7:55 am
kje
that is correct rolin... the ones painters use, or are sold at hardware stores, etc, do not work
7:55 am
redturtlehead
like a tissue.
7:55 am
JBV
hard to clue but can you google diallou?
7:56 am
rolin
oops..sorry
7:56 am
kje
and red is correct too... you can catch droplets on the mask when they sneeze... but not as effective for the receivers
7:56 am
redturtlehead
Ahhhh! thanks Rolin!
7:56 am
kje
"cover your sneeze, please" - did your hospital run that campaign, red?
7:57 am
redturtlehead
We didnt. We essentially mask anyone who has a cough. if they dont comply, they cant get treatment.
7:58 am
kje
oh, this was for visitors... posters in elevators etc
7:58 am
redturtlehead
We had a "Wash your Dukes" campaign at Duke.
7:59 am
redturtlehead
We mask the visitors too! and we do have a bunch of how to sneeze properly signage.
8:00 am
redturtlehead
I decided if we gave everyone a glove and the mask, it would be like a huge MJ tribute.
8:02 am
redturtlehead
I have 106 left, and sadly, I have come to a screeching halt.

My heart is aching for all of them. Went to the wake yesterday and the funeral is tomorrow.
10:52 am
Scrabbler
OH, NO! So sad! My de4 friend died of brain cancer in October leaving behind 3 kids ages 8 yrs, 4 yrs and 12 mo. She became ill in her 3rd trimester. Grieving in these cases is SO difficult. Any cause for death, car?
10:52 am
car.eeyore
Still unknown.
10:52 am
Scrabbler
So tragic! How old are the kids?
10:53 am

Just definitely one of those situations that leave me wondering Why...
10:55 am
Scrabbler
I spend every Tuesday afternoon and dinner with the kids. I promised Mary that I would love and guide her kids. The adults are struggling more than the kids although the kids will have longterm issues to cope with.
10:55 am
ch1212
God bless you, scrabbler. You are wonderful.
10:55 am
car.eeyore
Scrab...you are a good friend.
10:55 am
Scrabbler
The eternal question: why do bad things happen to good people?
10:56 am
Scrabbler
Being with the kids helps me with the grieving process. It is a way to honor Mary and to guide the kids. (crying now)
10:56 am
JBV
good morning and prayers and hugs to both families, car and scrabbler - such a sad tragedy when children lose their mother very young
10:56 am
car.eeyore
Oh Scrab...{hugs}...I am sorry...didn't mean to make you and others sad.
10:56 am
Scrabbler
It IS so very sad.
10:57 am
JBV
the fathers also need a lot of support - it must be very difficult for them to be strong for the children while suffering themselves
10:57 am
Scrabbler
Car, I think about Mary many times throughout the day.
10:57 am
Scrabbler
Yes, it is VERY challenging for young widowers with kids. They need much support.
10:58 am
car.eeyore
Scrab...when did she pass away?
10:58 am
flosey
taking a break, bbl
10:59 am
car.eeyore
Flosey, the picture is beautiful!
10:59 am
Scrabbler
October 13th. I was one of several people at her side for those last 3 days. It still does not seem real, that someone could create a family, be so devoted to motherhood and then be plucked away.
10:59 am

11:00 am
car.eeyore
Scoop...is your friend still over?
11:01 am
Scrabbler
Car, get a group of people to help your friend and the boys--a weekly schedule that can be followed--meals, cleaning, activities, etc, and women such as you need to be surrogate mothers for those boys.
11:01 am
car.eeyore
Is she helping you....cheater!
11:01 am
secooper
she is actually kinda spazzy now and she is learning to play
11:02 am
car.eeyore
That is the good thing...a tremendous support system from both sides of the family has already begun to develop.
11:02 am
car.eeyore
More coffee for both of you then!
11:03 am
Scrabbler
Create scrapbooks for each boy. Plant a memory tree and the boys can make and hang crafts, Easter eggs, Christmas ornaments. Plant a garden--we ma4 one for Mary and the older kids helped. Send balloons (with letters and drawings to Mom) to heaven.
11:03 am

Haz1558
It's when you go to designer shops and spend hubby's money that he's got to worry.
11:36 am
Haz1558
Although last year, when prices rose steeply, I used to wonder if I'd put designer goods in my trolley by mistake.
11:37 am
Kazzer99
hmm yes - it ridiculous - we went and got some wine, some coke and a few odds and ends and it came to 30 squid after 13 squids worth of discount
11:38 am
Haz1558
I know. Don't ever try to convert things back into shillings and pence, it's too big a shock.
11:39 am
Kazzer99
i know i gave that up a long time ago - though 8 bob for a packet of crisps is a bit off

lit files are a proprietary file set up by microsoft,among other things it allows one to read a book on specific microsoft porable electronic devices..but nothing else

Pros: pros: works better than the kindle for non U.S residents,back lighting is a nice touch,the touch screen makes it very easy for my vision impared wife along with the large home page fonts and several font size selections, back up buttons are nice:)
Cons: i thought hard and the only down side i can think of for the sony 700 reader is a matte finish occurs with the addition of the touch screen and causes a bit of glare in certain light conditions,but with kindle being for u.s only,this is the best bet
Summary: ok,im just going to list all the pros and cons of both the kindle and the sony 700 reader and my choice of the 700 reader will come clear.
kindle:
pros: clear non glare screen,easy access to both the battery and the add in sd storage card,long battery life(aprox 7200 pages),artwork that appears as a sort of screen saver
cons: this one is so big i have to capitalize it,THE KINDLE IS ONLY BEING SOLD TO u.S RESIDENTS AND YOU MUST HAVE BOTH A U.S ADDRESS AND A U.S CREDIT CARD AT TIME OF PURCHACE!
the reson for this is the kindles biggest selling feature,being able to download books wirelessly with out a computer relys on a u.s cell phone type service called rogers whispernet
the other minor cons are touchy page turn buttons that run along the side of the unit and the design of the thing is a tad ugly
sony 700
pros,the new touch screen eliminates the tiny little keyboard buttons that the kindle relys on,big clear option buttons on the home page,nice side lighting with 2 power selections,multiple font sizes for the vision impared,top end lithium-ion battery,sleek handsome unit design,dual storage card choices,power life is about the same as kindle(7200-7500 pages if you dont use the side lighting
cons
the only problematic con i can think of is that with the addition of the touch screen it made a matte finish to the page that can produce a glare in certain light conditions.the fact that it needs a computer and a usb cable to download books becomes a non issue since the kindle is for u.s consumers only
1:25 pm

I have a friend who's 95 yr old father is really thrilled with the Kimbel. He loves it so much he gave one to each of his kids for Christmas (and my friend hates it. Her brother is sailing in the Atlantic Ocean and he didn't think it was such a great thing either. I don't know what any other sibs thought of it though

if you are a book fiend(1 to 2 books a week or more) then it is for you:)
1:36 pm

for example,since i own many books about 500 and have paid for each,in canada i can scan them all and make a sigle archival copy in any formatt i wish as long as i do not do more than one or make any profit from this action
1:37 pm
crosshair
i have many coming apart at the spines and this will save them for future reading goodness;)
1:38 pm
Nef
oh, crossy! If the books are coming apart at the spines, someone didn't open them right at the beginning! How sad!
1:38 pm

3 groaning book shelves;/ i shudder at the thought of ever moving again
1:41 pm
Nef
True. I was raised to respect books, and the woman who raised me was the County Superintendant of schools. Each summer any new books that came we kids would have to "break them in" properly.
1:42 pm
crosshair
what drives me nuts is when someone folds a cover of a soft cover book back upon itself,,and dont you dare fold the corners!
1:42 pm
crosshair
ill beat you silly with a book mark
1:42 pm
Nef
To do this, you hold the book on its' spine, then open the front X number of pages, and about the same number from the back, putting the cover and pages all the way down on the table.
1:43 pm
Nef
"Dog Ears!" That is indeed a crime!
1:43 pm
crosshair
i even have a special hook on each book case and it holds about 5 book marks each
1:44 pm
Nef
(back to breaking in the book: you keep opening and gently pressing the same # of pages until the middle of the book is opened and laying flat on the table)
1:44 pm
Soodlebum
Good evening babblers. Cross - have you been here all day????
1:45 pm
crosshair
been on all day soodle..doing file conversions that have been piling up as well
1:45 pm
Nef
doing it this way, the spine of the book is soft and supple and won't ever break.
1:45 pm
crosshair
i remember that way of book prep nef;))
1:45 pm
jmcnrick
I actually buy books for presents and then re4 them myself without even breaking their backs . . .
1:46 pm
Soodlebum
Good for you. I have been and gone and done all the Saturday stuff. Now back to babbling with a clear conscience....
1:46 pm
crosshair
i know a weird,stange person who i have gotten many books from ,as he will only ever read a book once and never again!!!
1:47 pm
Nef
jmc, if you use this technique, you can tell the person you give it to that you "prepared" it for them! ;-)
1:47 pm
crosshair
wise advice nef;)
1:48 pm
Soodlebum
wouldn't a Babble Book Club be a novelty? Folk could read the book, and then babble about it?
1:48 pm
jmcnrick
there are lots of books I want to re4 again (the pb must be getting quite crowded)
1:48 pm
jmcnrick
I re re4 Georgetter Heyer and Dickens and others
1:49 pm
Nef
and he gives them away? I rarely read a book (fiction) a second time; but I keep any book that touches my soul, or is something I want to refer back to (or lend out)
1:49 pm
jmcnrick
I will consider that nef

evening all

BabbleRabble
hello, sprite
1:58 pm
Nef
Soodle, it isn't fiction. It was "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience" by by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (which I had to look up because I couldn't spell it!)
1:58 pm
sprite
hey BabbleRabble, glad to see you.
1:58 pm
Soodlebum
hello Sprite
1:59 pm
Soodlebum
Oh dear, Nef -doesn't sound like my sort of book. I'm very much a fiction- 'get away from it all' sort of book person!
2:00 pm
Nef
I loved that book and also "Wonderful Life" by Stephen Gould. Those 2 books took me completely by surprise. It may have been when i read them, but I still open them up and get carried away by them. :-)
2:02 pm
Nef
I *really* enjoy both Agatha Christie and Tony Hillerman for mystery fiction too.
2:02 pm
sprite
BabbleRabble, beautiful icon and quotes. Thanks.
2:02 pm
Soodlebum
Isnt it amazing how - at a particular time of you life - some books can just blow you away. At a dfferent time, they might just be books!!
2:03 pm
crosshair
when a book really grabs me,thats it im useless till i finish it
2:05 pm
Nef
Very true, Soodle. I have this very weird re**ing pattern: fiction in the summer, and non-fiction the rest of the time. I just can't re** non-fiction in the summer, nor can I tolerate fiction other times. <blushing at shameful secret>
2:05 pm
Soodlebum
Me too, Cross. I start living the life of the person in the book. (as if I didn't have enough drama in my own life - but escapism is very important to me!!
2:06 pm

My youngest daughter is dyslexic. It is breaking my heart to think of what she is missing out on in reading.
2:07 pm
Nef
how old is she, Soodle?
2:08 pm
Soodlebum
She is only 14. She refuses point blank to read - its just too much hassle to her. And at 14 - she says she is too old for her mam to read to her.
2:08 pm
crosshair
saddest words indeed
2:08 pm
crosshair
im not familliar with dyslexia,CAN they read?
2:09 pm
Nef
I have a dyslexic aunt who started to re** for the first time after she was 50. Her sister had given her Corrie Ten Booms' book "The Hiding Place" and she finally started to re**
2:09 pm
Soodlebum
With typical dyslexics -(and theres no such thing as a typical dyslexic) the letters they see on a page are all jumbled up. Suzie may see the letters GOD. But she will see them as DOG.
2:10 pm
Soodlebum
Its not life threatening or anything, but, it is a serious impediment to normal living
2:11 pm
Nef
yep. There are different technics to deal with it now. Many teachers will use tactile methiods whenre the child uses a sand box to form and feel the letters and that helps some; but there are other ways that help too
2:12 pm
Soodlebum
When Suzie was about 8 - I was helping her with her reading homework from school. the text said 'The boy crossed the road'. She read it as 'the boy crossed the street' - even tho the text said ROAD. Then it occurred to me, that she was memorising what they had learnt in school. It was a huge shock!
2:13 pm
Nef
and there are always audio books (which that aunt used all the time for road trips for about 20 ye***)
2:14 pm
crosshair
yes,there are many fine audio books;)
2:15 pm
Nef
Soodle! My dtr did that and we discovered it in 1st grade! Her teachers tutored her after school through 3rd grade, and then she took off on her own, But we never considered her dyslexic; she was just TOO much of a social butterfly to pay attention ion class!
2:16 pm
Nef

2:18 pm
Soodlebum
Oooh. When I noticed Suzies Road/street thing, immediately I went to see her teacher. The teacher dismissed me. She tapped her long red fingernails on the desk, told me she was trained to spot dyslexia, and said that Suzie was 'merely slow'. She refused to recommend to have her assessed. I had to pay €800 for a private assessment - which came back that she was 'classicly dyslexic'. oooooh
2:18 pm

I think I paid about $500 for the full assessment for my dtr; but she's now 26. And we paid for the tutoring (on top of the parochial school fees. But it was so worth it for her.

Now that it is 2:30 and I've wasted nearly half a day on the computer; I must get something done around here. This grid has blinded me and I haven't found a word here in well over an hour (of course, I wasn't concentrating either!). Anyway, BBL; enjoy the grid and chog!

It helps with vocabulary for sure. I have had so little time for the grid it is not transferring yet. But this winter we'll see.

3:45 pm
periwinkle
still 119 words to find :( did several errands today which cut into my babble time.
3:45 pm
jesdraggon
i've got 4 permanent cats, and one foster that i have low hopes of adopting out..so she very well may be permanent by default
3:45 pm
periwinkle
permament by default :-)
3:45 pm
jesdraggon
plus the dogs, chinchillas, guinea pig, snake, rabbit, horses...
3:46 pm
periwinkle
why the low hopes, jess?
3:46 pm
Judi
Egad! A petting zoo.
3:46 pm
jesdraggon
older, long haired, probable kidney issue
3:48 pm
periwinkle
how old, jess, just asking. don't get your hopes up :-)my cat is 13 and the other cat here is 12, I was really concerned that they would not get along
3:48 pm
jesdraggon
no real idea. she was left at an abandoned house. i came and got her after nobody'd been back for a month.
3:49 pm
jesdraggon
she's got the back claws that don't tuck back in nicely though, and that doesn't usually start showing until they're about 9
3:49 pm
sprite
fireflies. Bye all, enjoy the grid and chog.
3:49 pm
jesdraggon

3:51 pm
Judi
Wow! That's a skinny cat. Needs to bulk up some more.
3:51 pm
jesdraggon

3:52 pm
lynxxx
re6.21 ****the book again
3:52 pm
periwinkle
Iwill keep my fingiers cross that someone adopts here. My cat weighs over 15 pds.
3:53 pm
sammysmom
sorry lynxxx- need the first re 6/21
3:53 pm
Judi
Yes, my cats are big too, Peri. Both of my cats weigh at least 15 lbs each. But they are normal weight for their size.
3:53 pm
Judi
Luuuuuv big cats.
3:54 pm
jesdraggon
Not that she bothers me overmuch, but the bf is a bit overwhelmed by the number of critters... and the more that end up here permanently, the fewer i'm comfortable fostering.
3:55 pm
Judi
I made it to 50. I grow weary of this grid today. I'm off to do other silly things. ttfn.
3:55 pm

4:56 pm
stidmama
do you-all often have thunderstorms this time of year? We have them in the summer generally, not the winter. In the winter, it just "rains"
4:57 pm
stidmama
mo 8? *thinking*
4:57 pm

Hello all:) I am new to this game, and interested to know how to read the Tile Stats. probably being really dense. x laura x
5:25 pm
Tudalen
oops. also need to learn how to upload pic!
5:26 pm
lynxxx
hi Tud, the tile stats relect the grid above and show how many words start in each sqaure
5:26 pm
lynxxx
Tud...you will have to go pro to get pic/flag/bio. You will lose the tile stats after 2 weeks also unless you 'pro'
5:27 pm
Dorens
hey lynx.. can you clue the ca 5/14 please?
5:28 pm
Dorens
ahh gotta go will be back later
5:28 pm
lynxxx
the only one I have is the past tense
5:29 pm
Tudalen
Ok. I went pro tonight, so will update pic later. thanks for responses. one more question. if the tile of T has 3/10 in it, what does that mean? three words? thanks again. laura
5:30 pm
lynxxx
Means you have made 3 words out of a possible 10
5:30 pm
Kazozz
congrats on going pro! :)
5:31 pm
lynxxx
Dorens - the other ca5.10 , you take happy snaps with ca*er**

Nef

5:53 pm
periwinkle
110 here, hello all
5:57 pm
Nef
Tudalen, if you go to the help pages right above the chat it really helps; then a lot of us use either Likety's BabbleClues or Babblers Anonymous (both found below the tile stats)
5:58 pm
Tudalen
Thanks Nef, will do that. x
5:58 pm
stidmama
*giggling at "new meat" comment* hello all, back for more punishment, want to get down to 100 before I work on the history homework.
5:59 pm
stidmama
125 left at the moment
6:00 pm
Nef
hi stid. Is that just a typical Nursing comment? It seemed so natural to me
6:01 pm
stidmama
made sense, but that's perhaps because I have two adolescent boys at home?
6:01 pm
stidmama
I found a stonehenge-related sa 6! *proud mama look*
6:02 pm
stidmama
how are you doing, nef?
6:02 pm
Nef
I'm fine, stid. We all take life one day at a time; right?
6:02 pm
Kazozz
stid i thought u left?
6:03 pm
stidmama
I left, I came back....
6:03 pm
stidmama
we are now getting the weather report world-wide courtesy of tom... 98 in Tbilisi, 78 in Cairns..
6:04 pm
stidmama
oh my! it's the jack benny show on this radio show I am listening to. It's so funny, the word of the day for the show is "chartreuse"
6:04 pm
Kazozz
thats a color isnt it?
6:04 pm
Nef
which is used *SO* often on a daily basis right? :-D
6:05 pm
Nef
it's a bright yellow green color Kaz
6:05 pm
stidmama
yes, a lovely bright-yellow-green that when overused becomes quite obnoxious
6:05 pm
stidmama
or what nef said
6:06 pm
Nef
yep. Not a color many people can wear (at least not if they are pale fair-skinned Minnesotans!
6:06 pm
stidmama
how are you kazozz? I wish you could hear the stidkid's Col. Pickering... he sounds very hoity-toity to me!
6:06 pm
stidmama
scandinavian grandparents, nef? there's a lot of very fair people around here for that reason
6:07 pm
stidmama
I am fair because of the dutch-irish-french/german ancestry...
6:08 pm
Kazozz
how has it been going for stidkid? I would love to hear it lol!! All good here..my son and I have our words down for cuckoo's nest and we have 11 days til opening night arghhh
6:08 pm
Nef
I was raised inNW MN. I do have Norwegian on the one side, but my mother's side were Irish (and they were the only Irish for miles around; they were the minority in the area. There were also Germans, and French Canadians there too
6:08 pm
Kazzer99
eventually i got back to get my last 5 and i have so its fireworks and time for bed
6:09 pm
Nef
How exciting for both of yor families!
6:09 pm
stidmama
stidkid is good -- cuckoo's nest as in one flew over? haven't ever read that, you know... but it sounds disturbing
6:09 pm
Nef
YAY Kazzer! WTG!!!
6:09 pm
Kazozz
congrats kazzer
6:09 pm
stidmama
YAY kazzer!!!!
6:09 pm
stidmama
pretty pansy icon, too! ((kazzer))
6:10 pm
Kazozz
yes stid its very disturbing, but an excellent play...
6:10 pm
stidmama
well then, I hope your audience will be large and appreciative!
6:10 pm
Kazzer99
yeah found it on the web - pansies are one of my favorites but can never seem to grow them
6:11 pm
stidmama
with the economy as it is, the stidkid's show isn't as well attended as some in the past... the cast size is down too, for the same reason. Expensive to pay all the teachers and staff for these productions
6:11 pm
Nef
wow, Kazzer. I thought pansies were pretty much an indestructable plant!
6:11 pm
stidmama
I love pansies too -- they last okay for me. Until the MONSTER NORTHWEST SLUGS get to them, that is.
6:12 pm
stidmama
need 5 more, then must return to schoolwork. Next time I decide to take a double load of classes, will someone PLEASE shoot me?
6:12 pm
Nef
nope. stid, I'm non-violent
6:12 pm
Kazozz
I think we will be in the same boat as stidkid unfortunately! But having fun and it's all good experience for my son
6:12 pm
stidmama
drugs then? *she inquired, hopefully*
6:13 pm
Kazzer99
yes seems all my gardening efforts become slug food - but then they become hedgehog and frog food so we get our own back
6:13 pm
Kazozz
i have those stid lol
6:13 pm
Nef
how big are those slugs? (I've been worrying about that "Monster" size now
6:13 pm
stidmama
LOL most for us are about 5 or 6 inches, but some parts of the rainforest grow them big.
6:14 pm
stidmama
LOL wish we had hedgehogs around here, but the smaller critters are not generally so cuddly.
6:14 pm
Kazzer99
here its the little bu**ers you have to watch out for - they've even eaten my tomatoe, gooseberries and black currants
6:14 pm
Nef
5 or 6 inch long slugs? EWWWW!
6:14 pm
stidmama
yes, we have a few of those as well... but they run when they see me coming!
6:15 pm
Kazzer99
bet they explode spectacularly if you dose em with salt
6:15 pm
stidmama
well nef, it's either bigger slugs or fewer trees. I like trees!
6:15 pm
Nef
We use beer for slug traps here. It sounds like each slug would require their own can!
6:16 pm
stidmama
never had the heart to use salt, kazzer -- we get a sort of organic, bioavailable iron pellet that paralyzes the stomach
6:16 pm
Kazzer99
nef they'd probably gang up and have a shing dig in the woods
6:16 pm
stidmama
we had so many slugs that the beer traps seemed to just attract more to the garden. It was like a free bar. and then in the heat ... let's just say the smell was pretty amazing!
6:17 pm
Kazozz
*shuddering at thought of 6" slugs*
6:17 pm
Kazzer99
its conjures up a picture rather like the critters in Men In Black
6:17 pm
Nef
Kaz, can you imagine? a slug fest?!
6:17 pm
stidmama
*sigh* down to 97 suddenly...
6:18 pm
Kazzer99
some strange old words today
6:18 pm
stidmama
now i have to go study Pac NW history. My grade started out with 98%, then 98%, then 94%, and the last assignment I got only 91% -- I think I will spend more than 30 minutes on this one!
6:18 pm
Kazozz
75 here...had a little spurt
6:18 pm
Kazzer99
the sy ones got me
6:18 pm
Kazozz

6:36 pm
Nef

6:37 pm
Kazozz

6:38 pm
Nef
YES! Thata' exactly what I couldn't figure out! :-D
6:38 pm
Kazozz
do you by any chance have the mo 6/27?
6:40 pm
Kazozz

6:40 pm
Nef

6:40 pm
car.eeyore
a mix of odd characters...a MO**** crew....or the heavy metal band MO**** crue
6:40 pm
Nef
the mo8 builds from that
6:40 pm
Kazozz
didnt know it was spelled that way tyvm
6:43 pm
Nef
I wouldn't have spelled it that way myself, but that was the only available letters

i hate to bring the group down, but i have a personal problem i need some advice for. hope that it is ok. i found a lump in my breast last night. it is rather large. i had a mammogram two months ago, it was clean. i have two thoughts. it was there, i didn't notice and the doctors passed it off as nothing wrong - or....... it a very fast growing. i already know that i have to call the doctor first thing Monday. any thoughts? oh, and btw, i am a survivor - 15 years breast cancer.
8:05 pm
Minveryork
Hello joey!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle
8:06 pm

I think joey the best thing to do is to contact your MD on monday. And I am sorry, what ascary thing to go through on a weekend.
8:06 pm
wildcat17
awww joey so sorry ... first thing is don't panic, it could be easily explained ....
8:06 pm

Yes,I would definitely call the doctor 1st thing in a.m

anyone you could spend time with tomorrow who could hold you up emotionally?
8:08 pm
Nef
joey, do you do monthly breast exams? if it suddenly appeared, you could call the on-call doc this weekend; but try to remember when the last time you did your own breast exam and if you felt anything
8:09 pm
joey
i don't do it monthly, unfortunately, but i think that i am pretty body aware....... but........ it could have been there. it also could be scar tissue from the last surgeries. i am just a little on edge
8:10 pm
joey
it is mother daughter day tomorrow and the last thing that i want to do is tell my mom. she would worry worse than me
8:10 pm
Nef
what part of the breast is it in? Is it near the old surgical area?
8:11 pm
joey
previous ca was left, this is right, had a reduction and this could be there.
8:12 pm
wildcat17
hang in there ... I hope it turns out to be nothing worrisome
8:13 pm
Nef
I would guess that only an exam and a doctor can help figure this out. When you call Monday, be sure to get the mammogram results and the mammograms themselves too
8:13 pm
joey
sure will, thanks for reminding me

oh -- the skylight that leaked TWO YEARS ago necessitated replacing large segments of wallboard which my darling tom put off replacing until I threw a hissy fit last week -- we have a houseguest coming next saturday for three weeks, and it's the only space to put him.
11:18 pm
jmcnrick
nothing worse than a soggy guest bed
11:18 pm
Nef
ahh! I know how that goes! :-) Good Luck!
11:18 pm

jillibus
I have no prob with firefox
11:37 pm
angel13136
OK...brb
11:37 pm
dcseain
it claims memory, then doesn't use it properly, which eventually fills the memory and locks the program.
11:37 pm
dcseain
we oft have scores of tabs often in multiple windows, which may be why
11:37 pm
jillibus
dc, are you using a mac?
11:38 pm
jmcnrick
hmmm that is interesting -- i wonder if that would explain some of the issues at teh office
11:38 pm
dcseain
yes, jilli
11:38 pm
jillibus

cardiomyectomy, west - they'll remove 3.5cm from part of his heart
11:46 pm
westford
oh that is serious any reason they want to wait until Sept?
11:47 pm
dcseain
first available dates, an the need for some additional data gathering beforehand - bloodwork and like, and they want him to see an immunologist before surgery
11:47 pm
westford
let me refresh angel I can still see that beautiful pass to the water
11:47 pm
dcseain

DC, I'm wishing Tom an easy surgery. I worked CV-ICU for 28 years straight (34 yrs total ICU, first 6 yrs were mixed Med-Surg and CV- ICU) and had lots of pts. with heart surgery. What he's having done is so cool!
11:48 pm
westford

11:51 pm

11:51 pm
jillibus

I first took the CCRN exam in 1978; took it in Butte Montana at the mining college there (I was going on vacation and heading out to see family; the test day was offered in 40 states back then). I was the only one who took it.

Cleveland and Mayo do most of the cardiomyectomies in the world, and he wanted to go to a facility that does that procedure regularly, so Cleveland it is. and i get to visit family and introduce him around while we're there. we dined with grandparents last time

He didn't want to travel that far, which is why Cleveland won, esp since people at the Nat'l Cardiomyopathy Assoc said both Cleveland and Mayo were great for the procedure.

Honestly? I hated it. We moved back to the Cities; and the hospital I worked at for 28 years was much more advanced for decades in heart surgery. We did 7 different Jarvik-7's and I took care of the first woman to ever have one.
