1:02 am

Tudalen

morning all, just here for a mo before i have to go to work....

1:02 am

Kazzer99

tudalen! - you up early as well

1:03 am

Tudalen

yeah, in the summer it's lovely, a cuppa and some time before the day really starts!

1:03 am

Kazzer99

we are having our road resurfaced today so i have to walk to town to get my lift

1:04 am

Tudalen

do you have to walk far?

1:04 am

jillibus

phant -- anthems

1:04 am

Kazzer99

only about 3/4 of a mile so its not too bad and it will probly do me good

1:05 am

VolleymomDee

at 7/28

1:05 am

Tudalen

nice. I intend to walk more after so many summers stuck indoors. (note word 'intend'!) always love it when i do.

1:06 am

dart001

phant satirize

1:06 am

Kazzer99

yes i must admit we've let the walking slip a little over the last few months but we have been preoccupied with the allotment

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

me, too dart

1:06 am

Kazzer99

phant - acanthus

1:07 am

VolleymomDee

va 7/40

1:08 am

Tudalen

i have small garden, too busy to grow veg but love gardening when i have time.

1:11 am

Kazzer99

our garden is rubbish - but we have enough spuds for the winter and I am slowly filling the freezer with french beans and other good stuff. The next online will be the runner beans and then hopfully the sprouts but we have a bunny problem

1:12 am

flosey

Tudalen, are you anywhere near Glamorganshire?

1:12 am

Tudalen

they are determined; we have 2 pet bunnies which our cats want to eat. lots of wild ones too tho..

1:13 am

Tudalen

We are in pembrokeshire, south west wales (dyfed)

1:13 am

Kazzer99

i think they laugh at us - look more silly humans planting food for us

1:13 am

flosey

not familiar at all, but hubby's grandmother came to canada from glam.......

1:13 am

Tudalen

he he. I also think the seals watch us from the ocean, thinking ' oh look, more humans on show today'!

1:14 am

flosey

have a friend coming to visit this summer from Neath

1:14 am

Kazzer99

definitely cos they are damned good at hiding when we go seal watching on holiday - havent seen one yet

1:14 am

Tudalen

Pembs is lovely. Wales so different all over, but pretty lush genereally because of the rain. glamorganshire is central i think?

1:15 am

Kazzer99

even when we went on a specific boat trip to see them

1:15 am

flosey

hubby has always wanted to see where his grandmother came from

1:16 am

Tudalen

we have loads of seals here, a big coast path and lots of boat trips from this part of the coast. as with sunny days in wales, you need enough days to increase probability of seeing...

1:16 am

VolleymomDee

ir 7

1:16 am

flosey

some day.........

1:16 am

Tudalen

what a shame about the boat trip kazz, hope you will try again.

1:16 am

Tudalen

wales is well worth a visit flosey

1:17 am

Tudalen

i have always wanted to see canada....some day i hope, i have a cousin in vancouver and my sister lives in la conner, not far away from border

1:17 am

Kazzer99

have changed my icon - map of the counties of wales - glamorgan is at the bottom

1:17 am

VolleymomDee

la 7

1:17 am

Tudalen

ok will look

1:18 am

flosey

thanks Kazz

1:19 am

Tudalen

yes, glamorgan is to the south and east of us; not far.

1:19 am

Kazzer99

sorry to be rudae about your cat flosey but he looks a bit like that weird women who hept having all the plastic surgery

1:20 am

flosey

lol Kazz, I think he got squished when I altered the size of the pic

1:20 am

Kazzer99

he is magnificent though - reminds me as well of a white tiger

1:21 am

Tudalen

he does look pleased with himself tho

1:21 am

flosey

he's really quite bushy - long hair

1:21 am

flosey

he rules the roost

1:21 am

Kazzer99

i can imagine

1:22 am

flosey

spends most of the time outdoors and won't come near if we have company

1:22 am

Tudalen

G'd morning Babblers!

4:06 am

lynxxx

morning Lori

4:06 am

Haz1558

I'll say good morning/evening as well.

4:06 am

LoriP

Hey Lynx. What sayest thou 'bout this beasty?

4:07 am

lynxxx

tuff stuff.

4:07 am

LoriP

Hazaurus! ***faints***

4:07 am

lynxxx

good morning Ha***

4:07 am

Haz1558

Well, I say it's no bad grid that has my name in it. (Smug)

4:07 am

LoriP

Gah. Looks like it, with these letters Lynx. :/

4:08 am

LoriP

lol, mini smug or full blown smug?

4:08 am

Haz1558

Oh just mini smug.

4:08 am

LoriP

Humble is good. :p

4:09 am

Haz1558

It is, after all, only an accident that the letters are there. I don't think Dr-G did it in my honour.

4:09 am

LoriP

I can't imagine 276 words with that mess over there <-------

4:10 am

Haz1558

Today's the day your imagination will get stretched.

4:10 am

LoriP

I thought my imagination got a workout on yesterday's grid...

4:10 am

Haz1558

That was something, wasn't it?

4:11 am

Haz1558

Just when you thought you couldn't be surprised any more by the English language, up jumps a whole generation of b words.

4:12 am

Haz1558

TBT

4:13 am

Haz1558

Which means Two blank tiles. My progress is amazing.

4:13 am

LoriP

It was a hideous experience. Hazaurus, tell me that's NOT some form of blank tile acronym.....

4:13 am

Haz1558

Indeed it is. I foresee problems when next I blank out a tile for it will be TBT again. Three blank tiles.

4:14 am

Haz1558

And dear goodness. FBT and FBT. I see problems with marking my progress in this way.

4:14 am

LoriP

lolol ***shoot me***

4:15 am

Haz1558

I'll have to go back to the drawing board on this one. Eight blank tiles, eighteen blank tiles, eleven blank tiles. It's going to be too confusing for everyone.

4:16 am

LoriP

The potential is there to be maddening, no?

4:17 am

LoriP

Fod exapmle, maybe it should be NBE. I have No Blank E's

4:17 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. I'd understand if people responded to my EBT with WC? Who cares? or ITA Is that all?

4:17 am

LoriP

*For even.....

4:18 am

LoriP

Or TGND? This Grid's Not Done.

4:18 am

Haz1558

Or to show that progress is being made 'TGAD' - this grid's almost done.

4:19 am

Haz1558

Or for the despairing 'TGWNGD' - This grid will never get done

4:19 am

LoriP

All very helpful.

4:19 am

Haz1558

Never mind enable, we'll need to get a dictionary made to interpret.

4:20 am

Haz1558

I have good reason to be smug about one of my blank tiles. I've got the z words done. WDM.

4:20 am

Haz1558

(Well done me)

4:21 am

lynxxx

IAI

4:21 am

LoriP

I have the e's done. IAA (I Am Adequate)

4:22 am

LoriP

IAI Lynx? <----- :)

4:22 am

Haz1558

It could be misinterpreted as I am Average.

4:22 am

lynxxx

I am impressed

4:22 am

Haz1558

It's I A I, not (A)

4:23 am

LoriP

LIA, (Lynx Is Impressed) :p

4:23 am

Haz1558

Aha! IAI understandable.

4:24 am

Haz1558

What about you lynxxx. What do you have to declare in the BT stakes?

Hi everyone can you talk on FB?

4:29 am

LoriP

That's one T that's going to be hard to B.

4:30 am

lynxxx

didn't think la4.7 would be here (but then again why did I try it)

4:31 am

LoriP

Because, LIAG! (Lynx Is A Genius)

4:31 am

herinfernallady

4:32 am

Haz1558

Hooray for lynxxx!

Haz1558

Bye herin.

4:34 am

lynxxx

valina isn't accepted! my son used to want valina ice-cream all the time

4:35 am

Haz1558

It won't take varient as a varient spelling of variant. Enable is getting very fussy.

4:35 am

LoriP

That is TU (Totally Unacceptable)!

4:35 am

LoriP

You should market Valina ice cream Lynx. It'll sell.

4:35 am

lynxxx

Back in an hour, DW time

4:36 am

***I actually got that one Haz***

4:37 am

Haz1558

I hoped you would.

4:37 am

Haz1558

We should have put MYA as well.

4:37 am

LoriP

Fortunately I'm not as dumb as I look....

4:38 am

LoriP

Hey, I'm making up v wors, and it's working!

4:38 am

Haz1558

If anybody asks where lynxx is - MIAwDW.

4:39 am

LoriP

***I'm 2 for 2 now....*** :p

4:39 am

Haz1558

It's gratifying to find va5/18 words, isn't it?

4:44 am

LoriP

Well, 15 is close enough. Moving on....

4:45 am

Haz1558

It can be included in your list of BT can't it? That's what's important.

4:46 am

LoriP

MNBT for the v. Mostly Not Blank Tile

4:46 am

Haz1558

Or AG. Approaching Grey.

4:47 am

LoriP

I like that one.

4:47 am

So do I. It sounds optimistic.

Mornin' BR

4:52 am

BabbleRabble

Hello

4:56 am

Haz1558

The nervous bride told the minister that she was scared of messing up at the wedding. 'So much to remember'. 'Don't worry, just think of three things, walk up the aisle, stand at the al5/10, we sing the first hymn. After that I take over'. The bride resolved to remember this. Her poor husband to be didn't know what was going on when he heard his bride approaching muttering under her breath 'I'll alter him, I'll alter him, I'll alter him.'

4:57 am

LoriP

lolol, good one.

4:57 am

Haz1558

It's one of the only jokes I can ever remember - a favourite of my dad's.

5:01 am

Hah! 1GT (One Grey T)

Wolvie

6:10 am

Haz1558

I know!

6:10 am

Wolvie

lol - babble is fun, have to admit that. :-)

6:11 am

Wolvie

I am getting just so far in each tile - must work harder

6:12 am

Haz1558

You're suffering from ABT syndrome. Almost Blank Tile also known as AG, approaching grey.

6:12 am

Wolvie

the AG is on my head. ;-0

6:12 am

Haz1558

I would reckon that babble contributes to a high take up of hair dye among babblers.

6:13 am

Wolvie

haven't tried that yet - passing it off as paid for streaks

6:14 am

Nef

MOrning, people. I got up to give my dtr a ride to the bus stop (4 miles away); she waited til I was dressed and had my 1st cuppa coffee before she tells me she doesn't needa ride!

6:14 am

Haz1558

We'll keep your secrets safe.

6:15 am

Wolvie

hey nef - more time for babble. :-)

6:15 am

Haz1558

I hope you gave her a lift in the wrong direction?

6:15 am

lynxxx

6:15 am

Nef

true. But on a day off it's tough being up at 5:30 AM

6:16 am

Wolvie

I wake up around that time most days anyway - too many years of being up at 4 AM

6:16 am

Nef

5 tiles left before NBT

6:17 am

Haz1558

You're at TBT then.

6:17 am

6:18 am

Wolvie

6:18 am

Haz1558

Twenty blank tiles. Or it could be Two blank tiles or Ten, or thirteen. It means that you're making progress.

6:19 am

lynxxx

Silly, I think I like that about DW. The one where he is human and fighting scarecrows

6:20 am

Wolvie

ah - so it is my queen. :-)

6:20 am

Haz1558

Scarecrows? Are they robotic or dangerous or just plain daleks in disguise?

redturtlehead

Most likely I used up all of my first breakfast.

8:53 am

jmcnrick

I thought it was 6?

8:53 am

jmcnrick

did you run 4-6 miles?

8:54 am

Minveryork

jacq, you must have a lot more long letter words and I must have a lot of 4-letter words. That has to be it.

I would try refreshing. Lately I have been entering words that don't show up in the word list but the green line says I have allready entered it. When I refresh, they show up

3:46 pm

phaeton

yw...lol

3:47 pm

redturtlehead

hi everyone, I have 99 left.... and they are getting harder to find...

3:48 pm

lynxxx

hi Red...it doesn't get easier

3:48 pm

phaeton

I got an update on my daughter...they removed 3 lymphnodes and told them if the found something conclusive they would call them today, otherwise they would have to send frozen samples (?) out to other lab and would take a week to get results

3:48 pm

redturtlehead

It started out so pleasantly...

3:49 pm

redturtlehead

phae, no call yet?

3:50 pm

phaeton

just the update...nothing since then

3:50 pm

redturtlehead

so I suppose, no news is goodish news...

3:50 pm

lynxxx

Phae...I've missed this, what is wrong with yr daughter?

3:50 pm

phaeton

seems like it. red..you're a nurse right?

3:51 pm

redturtlehead

I am. we dont deal with pathology samples much though.

3:51 pm

phaeton

lynxxx...they have found all her lymphnodes in her neck and chest area are inflamed and she is losing weight and can't stop coughing

3:52 pm

phaeton

no...i wanted to know if not changing a urine catheter could cause ecoli infection

3:52 pm

redturtlehead

It could phae, if it was not done properly.

3:52 pm

phaeton

it was done in the hospital, but we don't know if they ever changed it in the nursing home...been about two months

3:53 pm

lynxxx

Phae...that must be incredibly worrying ((hugs)) hope they find out the root of the problem soon

3:54 pm

redturtlehead

catheters can cause infection just by being in the body, they have to be cared for carefully. Is there some way they can just leave it out?

3:54 pm

phaeton

Thank you lynxx, we are very concerned, but we also have her in many prayers around the world

3:55 pm

redturtlehead

phae sounds like you have a lot going on both sides of generations...

3:55 pm

phaeton

yes, but they were trying to heal the uti she had, then she developed c-diff from the antibiotics, so they left it in

3:55 pm

phaeton

yea...they put mom in the hospital last night

3:56 pm

Bugsaw

c-diff is very frightening. I will add my prayers for your mother

3:56 pm

jmcnrick

poor phae!

3:56 pm

redturtlehead

There was the "error". probably the c-diff germs/and ecoli, got on the catheter...and crawled up into the bladder. THey need to get it out. its less convienient for the nursing staff, but better for you Mom.

3:57 pm

phaeton

ty bugsaw, i think they cleared up the c-diff because they took her out of isolation

3:57 pm

jmcnrick

I will hold your mother and your daughter in the Light

3:57 pm

redturtlehead

sounds as if she is cleared up of the C diff. nasty stuff.

3:57 pm

phaeton

thank you jmc

3:58 pm

redturtlehead

er, your Mom...

3:59 pm

phaeton

the prob with mom is she needs assistance to use the toilet and so she doesn't ask often enough cuz she doesn't want to be a bother

4:02 pm

Bugsaw

tell her the nurses want to help with a simple task instead of waiting for a big, uncomfortable clean up.

4:02 pm

phaeton

she's 92 and not always cohesive

4:03 pm

redturtlehead

Phae, she can wear a brief, and while thats yuck, its better for her. The catheter is more of a convienience for the nursing staff, not for her...

4:03 pm

phaeton

down to 29!

4:03 pm

phaeton

thanks red...we can talk to the staff

4:03 pm

redturtlehead

And, the nursing home could put her on scheduled toilteing, every 2 hours, but....as great as a facility is that doenst always happen...

4:04 pm

redturtlehead

ok, time to go throw dinner into the oven.

4:05 pm
