jillibus

Oh -- around Canberra?

12:15 am

mrpresident

12:15 am

MLFAN17

12:17 am

mrpresident

12:17 am

gortmold

12:17 am

Pinikula

12:17 am

jillibus

District of Columbia, where Washington (capital of USA) is.

12:18 am

mrpresident

ah, thanks for the info... didn't know DC stood for District of Columbia... learn something new!

12:18 am

jillibus

12:21 am

Pinikula

Well, George Washington started it all (the first US president)

12:21 am

jillibus

mlf, why do you say pinik when her bio says her nickname is pini?

12:21 am

mrpresident

is that the guy with the wooden teeth?

12:21 am

gortmold

maybe americans r like us when it comes to naming things - find one interesting bloke and name everything you can after it - washington, macquarie, etc

12:22 am

Pinikula

no worries...pinik always makes me think of picnic :)

12:22 am

Pinikula

that's the idea, gort!! LOL

12:22 am

MLFAN17

gort i think its the same

12:22 am

Pinikula

that'd be the one, mrp

12:22 am

It is getting quite common for the log to be silent for at least an hour or so at certain times these days.

It's okay so far, but I'm only halfway through so anything could happen.

3:13 am

Haz1558

Did you agree with the estimation of yesterday's grid?

3:14 am

FMitch

I enjoyed it and enjoyed having time to actually do a grid.

3:14 am

Haz1558

Good! I thought you'd like it.

3:16 am

FMitch

Saw a funny sight yesterday - It was very blustery and lots of autumn leaves falling and there a a guy with one of those garden blowers trying to blow leaves off a front garden - talk about a losing battle.

3:17 am

FMitch

LOL you know me too well Haz :)

3:17 am

hey mitch,demi

But if you've got a machine, you're duty-bound to use it.

3:17 am

Haz1558

Hello grannyrose.

3:18 am

grannyrose

and haz, my dear.

3:18 am

grannyrose

apologies haz, thought i had greeted you before.

3:19 am

Haz1558

You probably had, I was just making sure that I said hello to you!

3:19 am

Haz1558

I'm still hoping for that arthrodesis to appear in the grid. You're obviously still in a lot of pain thanks to it.

3:20 am

grannyrose

haz, i have the brain-span of a gnat at the moment...all these pain meds....very frustrating

3:21 am

Haz1558

I hope it gets better soon, living with pain is not easy.

3:21 am

grannyrose

pain improves a little each day,started hydro therapy last friday, 3 sessions per week. makes life a lile more interesting, to say theleast

3:22 am

grannyrose

* little *

3:22 am

Haz1558

It's great that you're seeing improvement even if it's slow progress at times.

3:23 am

grannyrose

surgeon very pleased, radiologically i'm ahead of schedule, just have to increase my tolerance of weight-bearing. i'm getting there

3:24 am

FMitch

and the hydrotherapy is going to help I am sure. A great way to gently exercise and support the healing process.

3:25 am

grannyrose

love the hydro, i stood in front of one of he jets, had a lovely warm water massage * grin *

3:27 am

Haz1558

I imagine the worst bit is getting in and out of swimming stuff.

3:27 am

BabbleRabble

This is the 290th day of the year, with 75 days remaining in 2009.

3:28 am

Haz1558

Good morning, BabbleRabble. I bought my new diary insert for 2010 yesterday.

3:29 am

BabbleRabble

Good morning, Haz ... may 2010 be the best year ever for mankind.

3:29 am

Haz1558

Indeed!

3:30 am

grannyrose

weeellllll....not exactly, getting OUT of the pool was difficult, i had to back up the steps on my bum, very funny.then when i got to the top, i had to roll over onto my knees and pull myself up! (anything was better than using the hoist, tres embarrassing )

3:30 am

Haz1558

My tip for investment is to buy shares in Filofax. They must be making huge profits judging by the prices they charge for a few sheets of paper.

3:31 am

grannyrose

g'day babrab.thanx for the day count ( not ) the holiday season is closing in too fast

3:31 am

Haz1558

You've kept your sense of humour intact, grannyrose, that has to count for something in the healing process.

3:33 am

grannyrose

we've had seasonal cards and decs on the shelves in our stores for nearly a month now!!!!

3:33 am

BabbleRabble

You are doing what you must, grannyrose. No embarrassment about being determined to get better.

3:34 am

Haz1558

I know. You start to get confused with 'back to school' mingling with Halloween masks and dancing Santas.

3:34 am

FMitch

Greetings BR, just read part of your bio, always have to copy and paste them for reading as there is so much to take in. Wish i could sit by a fountain and talk to an aged one and listen to their history.

3:34 am

grannyrose

babrab, picture a whale in a granny swimsuit....that's me

3:35 am

FMitch

Oh Haz, - was in a supermarket last week and they had Christmas cards next to Halloween things, why not just throw in a few Easter eggs?

3:36 am

grannyrose

let's just say...the water level rose somewhat after i got into the pool * grin *

3:36 am

BabbleRabble

I am fortunate my Mother is still here. I too, think I could be a listener. Good day, FM

3:37 am

Haz1558

I think it can also depend on the personality of the older person, whether they feel willing to share the details of what might seem to them to be an ordinary life, or the details of experiences they'd rather forget.

3:37 am

grannyrose

mitch,they roll out the easter eggs about boxing day he4....really annoying. i mean, who is going to buy their easter eggs in january?

3:40 am

FMitch

Whether the older person has had an exciting life or not the one thing they all have is experience and that is something we can learn from.

3:40 am

BabbleRabble

Simply listening and not trying to fix or suggest is a skill I must do better at. So many simply want to talk. They are so alone.

3:41 am

Haz1558

It's a very thought provoking article, BabbleRabble.

3:43 am

FMitch

To listen and understand and to be silent is a skill that is waining in theses days of mass comunication and shortform words.

3:43 am

Haz1558

I think the desire to fix or suggest is a very masculine response to a situation. I'm not saying that in a an accusatory way, I think the male response to a problem is to try and fix. Sometimes the response sought is, as you say, just to listen.

3:44 am

Haz1558

I see it when my daughter expresses frustration with something. I tend to listen, husband tends to offer suggestions and can't understand why she gets even more frustrated. She just wants to vent and be heard venting.

3:45 am

BabbleRabble

Doubly so for me as a former lawyer, although opinions differ as whether I better at fixing or ruining.

3:45 am

grannyrose

and have her feelings validated, haz. that is also important.

3:46 am

Haz1558

You've made me laugh, Babble.

3:46 am

BabbleRabble

Good!

3:46 am

FMitch

I wouldn't say it was a male response necessarily - Thinking to work roles I have held I had to come up with solutions or possible answers.
On a personal level I had to learn to shut down - which by the way was not a good idea.

3:47 am

Haz1558

Yes, granny, and maybe the fact that I don't offer suggestions just means that I'm not as quick off the mark as husband.

3:47 am

FMitch

So I guess that is one reason that chat rooms work :)

3:47 am

Haz1558

But I think you adopt a different work persona sometimes to the approach you'd use in listening to personal problems or difficulties.

3:48 am

grannyrose

not so , haz, you probably have to sift through the information, then see if it is advice she needs or just the right to speak her mind, in a safe environment

3:50 am

Haz1558

I think I approach this particular daughter's difficulties in a way that doesn't further inflame her frustration. She needs to be calm before she can consider solutions, so I work on the principle of coffee and chocolate first.

3:50 am

grannyrose

good move, haz

3:51 am

Haz1558

THEN you can get her to think things through.

3:52 am

grannyrose

yup, do the same with number 3 son....he gets so het up at times...his words just rush out of his mouth.at least with me, he knows they go no further.

3:53 am

Haz1558

But to return to Babble's theme of old people, how ready would I be to listen to the frustrations of an older person and not immediately tell them what to do?

3:54 am

grannyrose

i think it depends on how well you might know them. sometimes they want advice, others just want to vent their feelings, and feel safe in doing so.

3:55 am

FMitch

I hate to cut and run but I have to make a couple of phone calls. TTFN and thanks for the chat.

3:55 am

BabbleRabble

I think that as a caring person, Haz, you could do older persons what you do with your daughter.

3:55 am

Haz1558

Bye FM.

3:55 am

grannyrose

i usually ask them straight out. 9 times out of 10, they just need to talk.

3:55 am

BabbleRabble

Be well, FM

3:56 am

grannyrose

bye mitch

3:57 am

Haz1558

I'm remembering when I was at school being part of a Community Services group. We undertook to visit patients in a geriatric hospital next door to the school and it was amazing how many relationships were built up over the years. I don't know who benefited most, but there was benefit on both sides.

3:57 am

Haz1558

I wonder if it still exists, although I have a feeling that the hospital is no more.

3:58 am

BabbleRabble

Exactly

3:58 am

Haz1558

Goodness, that has brought back memories!

4:00 am

Haz1558

I did notice that when I visited Father-in-law, when he was in a nursing home, how much the other patients responded to a new face - I used to bring Spangle with me and it was remarkable to see how perky the patients became. Spangle loved the biscuits!

4:00 am

grannyrose

in quite a few of our schools over he4,the children visit the old folks in nursing home and hostel situations,as you say, there is a benefit to both sides

4:00 am

jacq

good morning everyone from a very quiet house for once

4:00 am

BabbleRabble

hello, jacq

4:00 am

Haz1558

Good morning, jacq!

4:00 am

grannyrose

morning jacq

4:01 am

jacq

hello BR

4:01 am

jacq

hello Grannyrose and Haz

4:01 am

Haz1558

There is an affinity between the old and the young. It's us in the middle who have lost our way a bit.

4:01 am

jacq

how is the grid today?

4:02 am

Haz1558

It's okay, jacq. Don't let the later alphabet letters put you off.

4:02 am

jacq

my daughters used to go to a residential home for older adults they loved it

4:02 am

grannyrose

not too bad, couple of weirdo words.....

4:02 am

jacq

and they did it off their own backs

4:02 am

jacq

there are always weirdo words in babble lol

4:03 am

grannyrose

* grin *

4:03 am

jacq

i think it taught them to be patient with older people because they are both really patient now

4:05 am

grannyrose

i think in today's world, where the extended family does not live under the same roof, a lot of communications skills and understanding, and respect for other generations has flown out the window

4:05 am

jacq

i agree granny

4:06 am

BabbleRabble

We all will get old, provided we live long enough.

4:07 am

Haz1558

I think we have focussed too much on the physical well-being and have forgotten about the emotional side of things.

4:08 am

grannyrose

as i told my younger brothers, ( who are all grown men ) your children are learning how to deal with the elderly, ie, our mother, by watching you

4:08 am

jacq

i agree with Haz too, so many older adults are lonely and forgotten, even in residentail settings, or maybe because of residential settings

4:08 am

grannyrose

and that is how they are going to treat you!!!!

4:09 am

Haz1558

Is it down to us not being prepared to give time away?

4:09 am

BabbleRabble

There is no reason for me to believe that what is happening to seniors as the article suggests cannot happen to me.

4:10 am

BabbleRabble

Haz, I think it is a matter of priorities.

4:10 am

jacq

i watched a doc about a tribe from PNG who visited the UK and they were shcked at how hard we had to work to maintain our homes and pay the bills, they said because they live from day to day with routines in large extended family groups they have easier lives and their older people are cherished and valued

4:10 am

Haz1558

We don't have the time ourselves, so we pay others to give physical care and forget about the obligation to support the emotional well-being of the older person.

4:10 am

Haz1558

I watched the same programme, jacq, and was very moved by it.

4:11 am

jacq

it was an interesting perspective, they had very little stuff and were much happier and less burdened

4:11 am

jacq

they were shocked at older people living away from their families

4:11 am

Haz1558

Absolutely, they made it very plain that they thought our priorities were wrong.

4:12 am

jacq

oh yes, they are, my mother-in-law used to say she felt so welcome in my home because we had time for her, time to listen, and not just the adults, but the kids too

4:13 am

jacq

she lived 500 yards from us but would come to dinner and stay for 2 weeks lol

4:13 am

jacq

it drove me nuts at times but it was better than her waiting at home for family visits

4:14 am

Haz1558

If only there had been a clue when she arrived for dinner with suitcase in hand.

4:14 am

jacq

lol no suitcase, she would go back and forth for clothes etc, and bring her dog too

4:14 am

Haz1558

No wee backpack on the dog?

4:14 am

BabbleRabble

I have a sign that says: "Come again when you don't have so song to stay."

4:14 am

jacq

even the dog had her own bed in mine lol

4:15 am

BabbleRabble

long, song

4:15 am

jacq

nothing, no clues, but i take it as flattering that she felt so welcome she could stay like that

4:16 am

Haz1558

The elderly relatives I have left at the minute are proving to be very useful in yielding family details/secrets.

4:17 am

jacq

oh always Haz, she used to keep us entertained for hours speaking about her youth

4:18 am

Haz1558

One aunt in particular seems to have an incredible memory for the minutiae of family life, and she gets very excited when I can present her with details from the past that she didn't know about.

4:18 am

jacq

the girls miss that communication, i think thats why they make a point of inviting my mum and step dad to anything they are doing, even jsut to see some new furniture, we make it into a family event

4:20 am

grannyrose

you know, i've been thinking very hard he4. my MIL lives with us. she can drive me potty at times, but she isn't a real problem. my mother on the other hand.......

4:20 am

BabbleRabble

I try to get my aunts and uncles talking at gatherings. Many times even the quite young find interest in the reminiscing.

4:21 am

Haz1558

I'm sorry now that we didn't listen up more when we cousins were gathered and the grown-ups were talking. I should have taken notes, shouldn't I?

4:22 am

grannyrose

now, to me, she is a manipulative, self-opinionated, snoopy old so-and-so. how do i get around that?

4:22 am

Haz1558

With a sense of humour, granny.

4:23 am

grannyrose

she stayed with us for 3 weeks after her ha4 surgery, we had to lock our desks and filing cabinets.

4:23 am

Haz1558

Was she a spy in a former life?

4:24 am

grannyrose

she pushes all my buttons, haz. i've had counselling, and i still get riled whenever i see her!!!

4:25 am

Haz1558

Oh dear! At least you've tried. And getting old doesn't mean that you're automatically a saint and right in all that you do.

4:25 am

lynxxx

I commiserate Rose. We considered having a granny flat at the back of our very small house for my Dad. But his aggressive overbearing manner made that not an option. Sigh. And sadly in the end it did not matter. I just hope I remember to be much 'nicer' when I get older and not be a burden

4:25 am

grannyrose

my brothers feel the same as i do. and she wonders why her children don't like her?

4:25 am

Haz1558

Hello, lynxxx.

4:25 am

lynxxx

hi Haz

4:26 am

jacq

mothers think they can do anything because their age and status allows them to lol

4:26 am

grannyrose

we love her, but we don't like her. isn't that sad? hi lyn

4:26 am

jacq

mine drives me insane at times too granny

4:27 am

grannyrose

so what do we do with these unliked mothers?

4:27 am

jacq

i believe that is why care homes were invented

4:27 am

jacq

and so the wheel turns

4:28 am

jacq

some people just don't realise, or care at times, how their actions are viewed by others

4:28 am

grannyrose

now we are back to square one. old people in nursing homes and hostels, with no-one to talk/listen to them.

4:28 am

lynxxx

Well some retirement villages are fantastic...but like all of us, most people want to stay in their homes. 24 hours before he died dad was still asking when he was going home

4:29 am

grannyrose

i think i'll sit in a corner and gibber for a while. excuse me!

4:30 am

BabbleRabble

Many view places for assisted living as where you go to die.

4:30 am

jacq

some are lynxxx, and some have excellent facilities and wonderful staff, but staff are usually too bogged down with their duties to give the time needed to provide the emotional element of caring

4:30 am

Haz1558

We've been guilty of seeing all old people as a group - they're individuals with particular needs and foibles which need to be addressed.

4:30 am

grannyrose

that's so true, babrab.

4:31 am

jacq

it's the foibles that are hardest to address at times, age old habits cannot be broken

4:31 am

Haz1558

And in grannyrose's case, her mother needs an infinite number of drawers to rummage through to keep her happy.

4:31 am

jacq

a spice cabinet would be perfect, just move things around in it

4:32 am

BabbleRabble

I do not have answers, I only know I must do better.

4:32 am

lynxxx

True BR. My SIL parents were very clever and moved into a retirement village (with progressively increasing care as required) when they were in their late 60s. Have made a new life and group of friends...and close enough to children so they can visit frequently

4:32 am

grannyrose

we've asked my mother to sell the family home several times. the money could then be put into a smaller home, closer to us, where it wouldn't be a problem to call on her everyday.

4:33 am

jacq

nobody has answers because we are dealing with individuals and trying to fit them all into the same mould

4:33 am

jacq

lynxxx, my mum and step dad did that too just recently when they realised they wouldn't manage to use the upper floor of their home in a few years

4:34 am

lynxxx

Rse - have you seen the Australian Unity reiremnt village up near Wantirna (?) - off Canterbury Road. Its great!

4:34 am

Haz1558

I must slip out and get the shopping done. I will be sure to smile at every old person in the town today and i hope I don't get too many funny looks back.

4:34 am

grannyrose

she would have her independence, and the support of her kids, to boot.but she wants to stay near her friends and church. useless to point out her friends and church aren't supporting her in the way she needs. around, and around i go!

4:34 am

jacq

bye Haz

4:35 am

BabbleRabble

be safe, Haz ... I enjoyed your input

4:35 am

grannyrose

bye haz

4:35 am

Haz1558

It shouldn't be a problem - it's expected over here that if you meet someone's eye you smile and say hello, even if you don't know them. Bye for now!

4:35 am

Haz1558

Bye BR - thanks for raising the subject.

4:35 am

Haz1558

*gone*

4:35 am

4:35 am

4:39 am

grannyrose

brb, have to check dinner. have done jacq, and around we go again!

My husband won't go out with me anywhere dark. I just fall off to sleep. I'm not a quiet sleeper either. Once we we went to a passion play in the church. Well silly priest gave everybody candles and turned the lights down low. Need I say more? I awoke with a startled snort and blurted out Is He de** yet? No we don't go out much anymore.

9:38 am

wildcat17

9:38 am

Dorens

9:38 am

Scrabbler

My sister is a hospital pharmacist and in front of a computer most of the work day so she doesn't want any added time in front of a screen

9:39 am

Scrabbler

Hi Big Red

9:40 am

Christa

Morning Everyone... another hot! day in Phoenix, AZ

9:40 am

Dorens

oh, ok. that does make more sense then. i just love being in front of the screen... it definitely affects my tidiness (as in., there are piles of stuff all over the place that should be dealt with and put away.. hope you all don't mind)

9:40 am

Scrabbler

Doren--my sister just rpinted off directions from Mapquest, but we did study the map last night. Probably 45 min away. What shall we bring?

9:40 am

Dorens

Woo hooo, Doren. TY for accommodating me, the vegetarian.

9:43 am

Scrabbler

Hi JM and phaeton and Quick

9:43 am

Merk

Oh, NJ, I don't get there very often. I'm in SD and get everywhere at one time or another. AZ sounds warmer right now. We've had rain, dampness, cool temps for a week.

9:44 am

Quick

hi

9:44 am

Merk

See you here tomorrow, rain or shine!

9:45 am

Dorens

no problem at all, i love vegetables, and don't like meat that much myself. you should be okay with what we have here.
sorry merk. wish we could have everyone here

9:45 am

Scrabbler

I got my hair cut yesterday, Doren, so that I can look stunning. Hahaha.

9:46 am

Dorens

oh so glad to hear that scrabbs.. might not have let you in if the hair wasn't absolutely drop dead gorgeous

9:47 am

Scrabbler

Gorgeous & Scrabbler do not go together. I am a pudgy, simple, unsophisticated gal.

9:48 am

Atalante

gorgeous shows in character, scrabs, not looks!

9:48 am

Dorens

but you look stunning! and sophistication is most definitely not required, nor svelteness ( i am developing a definite antipathy to slender peoples)

9:48 am

Dorens

ditto ata!

9:49 am

Scrabbler

TY, Atalante. I always feel as though I have a big L on my forehead. L = loser. Especially when I walk into a hair salon.

9:49 am

phaeton

clue for de7/36?

9:49 am

Quick

anyone got any clues for the v's

9:49 am

Atalante

me too!

9:50 am

phaeton

9:50 am

phaeton

weather indicators

9:50 am

Quick

phaeton, 7/36 is the opposite of what you put on the walls

9:50 am

Dorens

i think hair salons do something to intimidate us... i hated them as a little girl when my mom brought me.. I'm getting better, but still find them uncomfortable in every way possible

9:50 am

Quick

tks phaeton

9:51 am

phaeton

yw...don't get your clue, tho

9:51 am

Dorens

scrabs? a loser? Do you realize how many people idolize you?

9:51 am

Quick

de + pa5

9:51 am

Scrabbler

The young twentysomethings scan me up & down. They always ask me about my eyebrows and my grey hair, as though I MUST do SOMETHING stat.

9:51 am

Dorens

phae. before you re7/32, you might want to de7

9:52 am

phaeton

got it...didn't have the pa5, but do now :)

9:52 am

jmcnrick

hi phae and quick

9:52 am

phaeton

9:52 am

Scrabbler

It is funny how our self-image can dramatically vary dramatically from how others view us.

9:52 am

Atalante

lol I'm only 35 and they do the same to me!

9:52 am

jmcnrick

the salons always made a big deal out of cutting my long hair so I just don't cut it

9:52 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Atalante.

9:52 am

Dorens

maybe you can find a place near you that can let you just be you...ask friends for recommendations?

9:53 am

Quick

any more v's?

9:53 am

jmcnrick

hey ata

9:53 am

Quick

I only have 3 out of 8

9:53 am

Dorens

ata, that is what I mean.. they do it to almost EVERYone... making us feel instantly inferior. i have always hated that

9:53 am

Dorens

joe biden, quick

9:53 am

phaeton

Biden

9:53 am

Scrabbler

I go to the "walk-in" (I call them "drive-thru") places, like Supercuts, etc so I can get in and out and pay as little as possible for a trim.

9:54 am

phaeton

phaeton

9:55 am

Quick

great, got 'em ! tx

9:55 am

Dorens

but if you CAN find a person who "gets" you, scrabb, it could be more comfortable. I have one who does a good job with my hair, but I don't like her very much as a person

9:55 am

Dorens

(joe biden is good for more than one)

9:55 am

Scrabbler

Is "jerk" in the grid?

9:56 am

Dorens

Scrabbler

Aha, got it now.

No prob. It snow at this time of year typical?

inge

Often we have no snow at Chritmas time here in southrn Michigan. Buffalo, however, gets more snow tan elsewhere

1:47 pm

Soodlebum

My geography of the US is limited to the places I have visited - NY, Florida and Vegas! Where is Buffalo?

1:47 pm

1:57 pm

inge

That is what is sounds like

1:58 pm

Soodlebum

Clearly I watch too many bad movies!!!

2:00 pm

Anniebrook

2:00 pm

inge

sorry about all those misspellings .

2:01 pm

Soodlebum

Annie. Is it you that had the op on your ankle?

2:01 pm

Anniebrook

just trying to clear away the misconceptions about poor New Yawkers.

2:01 pm

inge

Well, even within NY accents vary. I remember a clasmate from Brooklyn who varied the vowels alot

2:01 pm

Anniebrook

soodle, No not me, thank goodness.

2:02 pm

Soodlebum

Sorry Annie. somebody on Babble has had an op on her ankle, and I had the same one over 30 years ago. I am hugely interested in advances since then. But I am glad its not you!!

2:03 pm

Anniebrook

soodle, I seem to remember that also but cant recall who had the operation.

2:03 pm

Soodlebum

I would have loved to have said all that in a Noo Yawk accent, but, I just don't have the energy!!! :)

2:04 pm

Anniebrook

LOL

2:04 pm

inge

And I missed that ankle op altogether

2:05 pm

Anniebrook

I think it was kje who had the ankle surgery.

2:05 pm

Anniebrook

Yes, it was!

2:06 pm

Soodlebum

But - I just loooooovvvveee New York. I had one of the best weekends of my life there. what a city!!

2:06 pm

Anniebrook

I haven't seen kje in a while.

2:07 pm

Anniebrook

soodle, next time you must stay longer. Too much to see and do.

2:08 pm

Soodlebum

Well, when I say weekend - it was Thursday to Wednesday. I saw all the sights, and did all the touristy things. It was the Feb after 9/11 and it was very bittersweet. But I just cant wait to go back.

2:12 pm

Anniebrook

Oh, was it when you came back to the US?

2:24 pm

Soodlebum

Sorry folks. Just seeing off the juvenile deliquents on a night out, and having to reassure both of them they are Gods gift to women/men! Oh the joys of being a mom!!

2:25 pm

Bugsaw

Soodle, I am shocked! You have it all wrong! If you tell them they are God's gift to the other sex, you are asking to be a grandmother! My tact was to remind them to keep their pants on so I wouldn't be a grandmother too soon

2:26 pm

Anniebrook

I am stuck. can I get a clue for re 5/18?

2:27 pm

gwenski

re: to have given food again

My boy's friends thot it was so funny he had to phone home with a huge bunch crowding around the phone so I could tell him what I always said before he left home, REALLY LOUD so they could all hear.

2:28 pm

Soodlebum

Bugsaw. Its a thin line between reassuring them, and over reassuring them. My fingers (and everything else) are crossed that I have reached a happy medium!

2:28 pm

Anniebrook

2:28 pm

Bugsaw

DOn't you wish kids came with a manual? I always did

2:28 pm

2:29 pm

Soodlebum

Looking at the pair of them gettin ready - you know what? I am glad I am in my 40's, and theres more to life than looks!!!

2:30 pm

Bugsaw

Actually, I always told them I didn't want to be a grandmother before I was 40 so when the call came saying, "So Mum, you are past 40 right?" I knew what the next line would be. She is beautiful.

2:31 pm

6:47 pm

redturtlehead

thanks Crossy!

6:48 pm

PAV3

sendin excess warmth from Phx to red...

6:48 pm

redturtlehead

thanks, i am enjoying the cold, but it was such a quick drop my tires got all messed up...

6:49 pm

redturtlehead

have

6:49 pm

redturtlehead

oops

6:49 pm

crosshair

what is the temp there now red?

6:49 pm

redturtlehead

64 degrees.

6:49 pm

PAV3

that's ok I think we all've gotten that one...

6:49 pm

redturtlehead

but it was 90 the other day..

6:50 pm

Minveryork

I ha** that one already.Thanks anyway redturtlehead

6:51 pm

crosshair

6c or 43 f atm,we had another hard frost this morn and was -1 c or about 30f this morn..common up red and we will go for the fall colour tour up on the hills;))

6:51 pm

crosshair

fresh air is good for that nasty cold

6:52 pm

redturtlehead

see cross thats insane. I am better off here, but my poor tires sure did decide to lose pressure, I need to add air, but I am afraid I shall pop a tire when doing it.

6:52 pm

crosshair

hot chocolate is on me....

6:52 pm

crosshair

well not ON me..but you get the idea lol

6:52 pm

redturtlehead

:)

6:53 pm

crosshair

what type of car red?

6:53 pm

redturtlehead

its a prius, I just have never added air to anything...

6:53 pm

crosshair

at that warm temp 60,s you can set tire pressure to 32 psi

6:54 pm

redturtlehead

i know how to check the pressure, and where to find the psi stuff, but adding the air looks complicated.

6:55 pm

crosshair

below freezing you can go 53 psi

6:55 pm

redturtlehead

its possible I can take it somewhere though, the tire pressure light even came on...

6:55 pm

crosshair

35*

6:55 pm

redturtlehead

We never get below freezing.

6:55 pm

PAV3

or take it to the local Discount Tire...if you tell them you haven't taken that car there, they'll at least check to make sure it's not a flat...and won't charge you...

6:55 pm

crosshair

then get it done red you milage drops 10% for every 5 psi shortage

6:56 pm

redturtlehead

I will try to find some place open...

6:56 pm

crosshair

aal the savings of owning a prius go right to the tires;/

6:57 pm

PAV3

is there a savings with owning a car?

6:57 pm

crosshair

with a prius,there is a fuel savings over owning lets say a hummer lol

6:57 pm

redturtlehead

I get a lot of gas savings with my prius, I am more concerned about safety...

6:59 pm

crosshair

safety dosent become a real issue intill tehy get low wnough to squeal or give the car a sideways wobble

6:59 pm

PAV3

yes ther's a "fuel savings" factor, but if you don't mind paying extra, there will always be trade-offs to owning vs. going green and walking, biking, etc...

7:00 pm

redturtlehead

I think because the light came on it would be difficult.

7:00 pm

redturtlehead

Well Pav, biking is a great idea, but it isnt going to work for a variety of things I do...like going to work, I live too far from my job...

7:01 pm

redturtlehead

I mean, the tire pressure light gives me sort of a worry, but I will get it fixed tomorro.

7:02 pm

crosshair

lol pav,past nov or so we cant bike lol

7:02 pm

crosshair

hard to bike 20 lmile through 3 footm drifts of snow;)

7:03 pm

crosshair

She's feeling better and getting stronger and healing now; so this might keep her out of trouble (hopefully)

8:51 pm

Nef

(And she's reading this too!) ;-)

8:51 pm

Jacula

Not if she starts trying to type words in frantically, it won't! Hi all.

8:52 pm

Jacula

How did she break her wrists?

8:53 pm

jillibus

rehoe should be a word

8:53 pm

Nef

hi Jac. Her splints won't let her type much; so she's trying help me find words at this point. As time goes on, we might need to tie her down

8:53 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, I'm having clue icon day a day late.

8:53 pm

lbdawger

Hi DH"s Aunt. welcome to babble!

8:53 pm

8:53 pm

Minveryork

Nef

WTG, Min!!!! YAY!!!!

8:54 pm

jillibus

YAY min!!!

8:55 pm

8:55 pm

Nef

hi jilli. How are you tonight? DH's Aunt is older than you

8:55 pm

Minveryork

My last word yesterday was a 4-letter word Jacula.

8:56 pm

Jacula

Nef's aunt-in-law. Hello and welcome to Babble. Sorry about your accident.

8:56 pm

jillibus

I'm just fine, thanks, Nef! Say hi to Aunty!

8:56 pm

Jacula

Min - there are many 4-letter words when Babbling, somein the grid, some not! :-)

8:57 pm

Nef

Aunty is thinking this is pretty cute! She's enjoying the chog tonight

8:57 pm

Nef

and she says hi to everybody too

8:57 pm

Jacula

Nef - you just made Jilli sound like Methuselah. LOL

8:58 pm

lbdawger

Nef, get her to give herself a handle so we'll have something to call her instead of DH's Aunt

8:58 pm

mrpresident

afternoon all :)

8:58 pm

jillibus

Aunty -- you're stealing my thunder as the senior babbler!

8:58 pm

Minveryork

I yell plenty of four letter words when monkeys can't find words in the grid Jacula.

8:58 pm

jillibus

hi mrp :)

8:58 pm

lbdawger

(((MRP)))

8:58 pm

Jacula

Hi MrP.

8:58 pm

Minveryork

Hello mrpresident! How are you? Welcome to the grid

8:58 pm

Jacula

Min - I think we all do!

8:58 pm

Nef

Aunt Jean doesn't like that I said she was older than you. So you can keep the title, jilli

8:59 pm

Jacula

LOL Nef.

8:59 pm

Jacula

AuntyJean sounds like a good 'handle' to me.

8:59 pm

Nef

hi mrp. How are you today?

9:01 pm

Jacula

I was on Facebook earlier, playing either Wordscraper or Lexulous with Babbler Hydra. I wanted to put 'vorpal' (as in 'vorpal sword') in for a good score. Unfortunately, the dictionary for the game was having none of it.:(

9:01 pm

mrpresident

doing well thanks! Except for the huge swelling thing just above the collar bone... that just looks hideous!

9:02 pm

Nef

what happened mrp?

9:02 pm

Jacula

MrP - is that something new re the arm problems? Oh no.

9:02 pm

mrpresident

no idea, woke up with it...

9:03 pm

lbdawger

oh goodness, could it be a bug bite?

9:03 pm

Jacula

MrP - might it be to do with lymph glands after the op?

9:03 pm

Nef

oh-oh. Does it hurt? Sending healing thoughts your way)

9:04 pm

mrpresident

I think so jac... lickety is looking a little concerned.
Thanks Nef :)

9:04 pm

Jacula

I'd see your hospital consultant a.s.a.p., MrP.

9:04 pm

mrpresident

dawg, it isn't a bite cause there is no marks at all... just swelling the size of my palm!

9:05 pm

mrpresident

yep, another day in paradise jac... hospitals thrill me

9:05 pm

lbdawger

you need to go your doctor or a clinic asap, darlin'. it could be any number of things

9:05 pm

lbdawger

brb

9:05 pm

mrpresident

back to the fun, how is the grid?? I need a good dose of word insanity

9:06 pm

Jacula

The grid's not too bad; a few odd words but not too many.

9:07 pm

mrpresident

I am seeing so many phantoms...

9:07 pm

Jacula

MrP - re the arm. You may need to keep it elevated to aid drainage. However, I expect Lickety is calling the consultant as I type.

9:09 pm

mrpresident

one finger typing again!? argh, but yes, you are right, I need to do that

9:09 pm

Jacula

There are no ghosts intoday's grid but there are some Space In7/44s (think old computer game).

9:10 pm

mrpresident

oooh, thanks!

9:10 pm

Jacula

You should get 4 words from that clue, MrP.

9:11 pm

Jacula

And then you can avoid stuff by being an ev6.30. Again 4 words from that clue.

9:12 pm

mrpresident

will finish this in no time! thanks again... I have an adversion to words with V in them

9:12 pm

Jacula

The final ev word (ev6.42) has to do with the Greek Army - ev + The Twlight ****.

9:13 pm

Jacula

*Twilight.

9:14 pm

mrpresident

9:14 pm

9:15 pm

Jacula

va4/7 - weather thing on church steeple. va5.18 is adjective.

9:16 pm

Jacula

ve4/8 - sounds like a Germanic person saying they are sobbing.

9:16 pm

jillibus

Last word -- vi5/18 -- is it fishy?

9:17 pm

mrpresident

hi jilli :)

9:17 pm

Jacula

9:18 pm

Jacula

(Rhymes with 'beyond'.)

9:18 pm

Minveryork

The vi5/18 is anagram of va4/7 plus 4th letter jillibus

9:18 pm

mrpresident

delicate food... hmmm

9:18 pm

mrpresident

9:18 pm

jillibus

Thanks, jac, got it right away! (French comes in handy sometimes)

9:18 pm

Jacula

ve4/7 - the letter I am clueing, pluralled.

9:18 pm

jillibus

Firewords :)

9:19 pm

Jacula

ve4/7 - blood runs through it and it can become varicose.

9:19 pm

lbdawger

Jacula

Well done, jilli!

9:19 pm

Minveryork

9:26 pm

Jacula

That was the title of an old Jackson 5 song, Jilli. 'To Late (to change the time) and, of course, Carole King and James Taylor also did another 'Too Late'. Then there was Connie Francis' 'Born Too Late'. LOL.

9:27 pm

Jacula

I'm not going to put my headphones on and start listening to music because I have to be up and out to go out for lunch by midday and it's now 3.25am.

9:27 pm

jillibus

9:27 pm

9:28 pm

9:28 pm

jillibus

so, off to get some supper -- back soonish

9:29 pm

Jacula

'unday'? LOL. That's quite a good new word I made by accident for the day of rest.

9:31 pm

Jacula

Nef - Oh, if only. Flatulent, snoring bed companion, though I love him to bits and he also brought me flowers today, plus a huge moral dilemma, that I'm not going to go into now, as more info gradually emerges from stepdaughter about her Mum's b/f.

9:33 pm

Jacula

Any more clues needed for grid?

9:34 pm

9:37 pm

Nef

Well, DH's Aunty has abandoned me (she actually went to bed). She's 84, and thought she could climb up on a small folding chair to clean a mirror; that is how she fell and broke both wrists.

9:37 pm

kje

hi minver, doing well, beating the pants off weed in scrabble right now, which I enjoy ; )

9:37 pm

gwenski

Also having trouble with Jac's icon clue. The only word I can think of has only 5 letters

9:37 pm

Jacula

I hear many people from USA say they don't know French. I assume it's only a language you have no choice about learning here in UK schools?

9:38 pm

featherbee

BRAT!!!!!

9:38 pm

rururocks

weed isn't wearing pants?

9:38 pm

kje

9:38 pm

featherbee

9:39 pm

kje

I took german and spanish

9:39 pm

Nef

I studied French from 4 years (infant school) to 13 (high school). In high (grammar) school., I took French, and Latin. I studied German and Welsh in private lessons, since I had boyfriends who I needed to understand. Though, the Welsh had also been taught to me since I was 4-years-old.

9:42 pm

kje

Jacula

ruru - good note to make for yourself. I'm the vamp that does the biting. LOL

9:49 pm

rururocks

9:49 pm

Jacula

gwenski

WHew! Thanks.

9:49 pm

kje

9:56 pm

featherbee

i'd like to, but have minimal chance on this game.

9:56 pm

kje

and there is no way she can win this game now - hehehe

9:56 pm

Jacula

Anyone who has recently had a monkeu fly out of their butt can go for my colonoscopy (camera up the bum) appointment instead of me. Since colonic cancer is a familial thing, we all have to get checked at regular intervals once over 40 years of age. The procedure isn't so bad, except that they fill your bowl full of air, but the starvation preparation and then the drinking of Picolax (a bowel busting cleaner) when you know what it's going to do to you, is hard.

9:57 pm

kje

actually, there are still lots of tiles left, so could pull it out - should watch what i say

9:57 pm

kje

yes, jac - all patients say the prep is much worse than the procedure

9:58 pm

mkg

good luck jac. i hate having that. have one every 5 yrs and that is bad enough.

9:58 pm

rururocks

I am due for mine too jac..

9:58 pm

rururocks

now that i am older.

9:58 pm

kje

wow, finally got the te6 - thanks

9:59 pm

kje

would love to be around to commit that misery on ru - so wish I had done GI

9:59 pm

Jacula

kje - there's a thing the size of a normal drug capsule that you can take now to avoid all of that. It's a radio-controlled camera. However, the NHS in UK finds it too expensive to use and I can find any way here of paying privately for it every 4 years or so.

9:59 pm

rururocks

(FARTS IN KJE'S GENERAL DIRECTION)

9:59 pm

Minveryork

A te6/36 is first 4 letters of previous word plus does Jacula's icon clue stupi** you kje?

10:00 pm

kje

jac, they are not as accurate for colon, thus why NHS won't use them.... we do not use them for colon, but can use them for small bowel

10:00 pm

Evening all. May I please have a clue for either of the ti6's? Thanks

10:22 pm

Jacula

What I hadn't taken into acount is almost 7 years on, he only going for a divorce now, and doing in it himself, rather than through a solicitor. His 'ex' isn't signing any of the forms he sends her and he is most vehement that he never asked me to marry him and never wanrs to marry again. I find that both upsetting and offensive.

His daughter must wonder why I almost bit her he4 off when she asked about the possibility of me becoming her lawful stepmum and told me she wouldn't mind a bit if me and herr Dad got married.

Jacula

Jilli, He willl be given an ultimatum eventually. I've given him 3 when I've been 'not sober' (which happens quite a lot since his daughter had to come and live with us), but, there will come a point when what I see as disrespect for me will go too far and no flowers will fix it,

10:32 pm

Jacula

The way I see it, anyone who doesn't want to marry again thinks the realationship might not work out, nd so is not commited for life, wants an easy way out.

10:32 pm

Jacula

Lack of respect for their partner.

10:33 pm

mkg

yes lack of respect. i agree.

10:35 pm

Jacula

Last time I challenged him on the marriage thing,, he told me that he was mine for life but that if I wanted someone to marry maybe I should look elsewhere. That threw me right off my axis I'd clung to when we met.

My dad carries MRSA, so the infection went nuts in the hospital. He got pneumonia and they treated that, but then developed a polar opposite infection (gram stain negative vs. gram stain negative). They had to figure out what it was and then figure out what would work against it.

10:48 pm

Trifioso

11:38 pm

jmcnrick

*streaks through the chog with belly flapping*

11:40 pm

Nef

or feel

11:40 pm

DR1965

we need all the prayers we can get for Rob and his family.

11:40 pm

car.eeyore

Dr...what is the update?

11:40 pm

Trifioso

the best part was when my head was basically blowing off, and she was all "no, you should look, you need to know this." why, exactly, do I need to know that? *I* am certainly not going to be uh, caring for that particular fatherly appendage, and no one here at my house has one of "those" that needs tending.

11:41 pm

jmcnrick

I will hopd rob and famility in the light DR

11:41 pm

DR1965

The absess ( sp) was 5x7 INCHES not centemeters... MRSA And an unknown. major antibiotics

11:41 pm

car.eeyore

[[[hugs to DR, Rob & family}}}

11:41 pm

DR1965

thanks Jmc

11:41 pm

Trifioso

mrsa sucks huge. I will pray for them, most boldly

11:41 pm

DR1965

they want to send him home... no insurance

11:42 pm

car.eeyore

i bet it is the same kind of thing DR...polar opposite infections.

11:42 pm

Trifioso

WHAT???? can they DO that?

11:42 pm

jmcnrick

that does suck DR

11:42 pm

Nef

oh dear. I'll keep him in my prayers, and send healing thoughts to him and his familyaa

11:42 pm

DR1965

They can send him home with him coming back to the Er for antibiotics

11:42 pm

Trifioso

mrsa is very contagious! if they send him home they are basically creating a public health situation. how irresponsible can they be?

11:42 pm

car.eeyore

That would be putting his whole family at risk...CAN they do that?

11:43 pm

DR1965

it sounds like it Car- I am thinking of talkingto his wife

11:43 pm

jmcnrick

hmmm most hospitals have a program to cover the cost of indigents -- they should look into that

11:43 pm

jmcnrick

they just never tell you that

11:43 pm

car.eeyore

There has to be a way to keep him there....

11:43 pm

DR1965

I dont know- I will talk to her tomorrow... their oldest girl has a 17 month old... that would be horrible 1

11:43 pm

jmcnrick

omg DR

11:44 pm

Nef

they can do it. THe wound must be covered; and the thing is he would be a t greater risk in the hospital himself

11:44 pm

DR1965

thanks Jmc- for the infp

11:44 pm

DR1965

* info...

11:44 pm

car.eeyore

Good grief! That is just asking for trouble. DR...let us know if we can do any research on this for you. May i ask...what state?

11:44 pm

DR1965

ok enough on Rob- makes me so sad...

11:44 pm

Atalante

sister always gets sent home with MRSA as it's less dangerous for her at home compared to hsospital

11:44 pm

jmcnrick

mmmm I am pretty sad myself

11:44 pm

DR1965

California- and iknow the laws here do provide for indigents... they need to stop being proud though!

11:45 pm

jmcnrick

11:45 pm

Trifioso
