I thought it was a card game and a dance.
Hello, all.
9:53 am

yes but those are capitalised and hence not the babble meaning. Hi Vic
9:53 am
dcseain

i know of neither, but both are as likely, vi :) hello
9:53 am
dcseain

and yes, sprite, once i overcame my surprise
9:53 am
dcseain

funny that after all these years with ENABLE it can still surprise me. :)
9:53 am
Vicuna

According to the question mark those are both lower case. But I never heard of either of them before, either.
9:54 am
sprite

being surprised is great too
9:54 am
dcseain

ah, i used define function in Google, instead of ?, as i find dictionary.com almost as dubious as ENABLE
9:54 am

there's a card game today?
9:54 am

whist-like, apparently, harpjane.
9:54 am

9:56 am

yay for obscurity! Hi, Judi
9:59 am

I like to think of it not so much as being lost in obscurity as simply wandering in obscurity without a defined destination.
9:59 am

and of course also the real book dictionaries... I have lots of those
10:00 am

Divagations in Obscurity, if you will...
10:01 am

topscurity, of course

10:02 am

i love book dictionaries and thesauri
10:02 am
sprite

I think in my case it would be obesquirrelity
10:02 am
Vicuna

I suppose there are really two issues with the definitions, though. One is what the word means, and the other is what Enable thinks the word means.
10:03 am
sprite

third is what we all agree it should mean
10:04 am
Vicuna

And no doubt that's the most important one of all! As Humpty Dumpty says, It's a matter of who's in charge, us or the words.

my daughter is riding a monocycle atm. I call it half a bike.
10:17 am

Is a monocycle different from a unicycle?
10:18 am
Vicuna

Or is it, for example, like a bicycle that you can wear in one eye?
10:18 am
sprite

no, probably the only difference is that unicycle is the correct word and monocycle a pathetic attempt of a dutch girl to get the meaning across
10:18 am

lol!

10:34 am
harpjane

I am actually sort of excited about it since these particular teeth have been bothering me since 1974! It's been sort of a waiting game to see when they would finally wear out. But being toothless on Haloween, now THAT"s like a dream come true!
10:34 am
dcseain

LOL jane
10:35 am
dcseain

you'll get a bridge, i'm guessing?
10:35 am
sprite

jane you rock!
10:35 am
harpjane

and i won't have to buy any of that cheapo fake blood either!
10:35 am
harpjane

yah, either a bridge or implants. i think it depends on how much my dentist needs for his new boat....
10:36 am
dcseain

implants are preferred
10:37 am
harpjane

he'll get a nicer boat that way so that's what he's thinking. It depends on whether I have any decent bone left....
10:38 am
dcseain

yeah. i need to get 2 molars extracted and a bone graft for my lower left rear. The bone is solid, but partially atrophied due to my ignoring the problem for WAY too long
10:39 am
harpjane

I'm more worried about the bone graft idea than anything else, my bil had a hard time with his
10:40 am
sprite

bone grafts are nasty. Will think of you both.

At my previous practice I cared for a family from the Rwanda/Burundi area. The father escaped 9 yrs ago, mother 7, with now 2 little kids. They finally felt it was safe to visit remaining family this past spring. Their eyes reveal sadness yet they smile and express such gratitude.

the neighbor was mostly 'embarassed" -- she was able to forgive him -- can't imagine how

the first girl acclimated to the family without a hiccup, but the second girl was a whole different matter. She just could not understand that she was safe now - she took food out of the fridge and kept it in her shoes, hidden under beds, beat up the older girl for toys, even though there was plenty for both, etc. Poor little mite, she had just no concept of peace. Took YEARS of very loving work

Why avoid it? Seaonal flu vaccine is new every year--3 strains every year, changing year to year, and H1N1 disease appeared on scene AFTER decision was set for '09-'10 seasonal vaccine, thus a second flu vaccine, with just H1N1 strain is needed. Same manufacturers. nothing "new" about it at all. It's just that 4 strains are being covered this year.

hmmm, I'm not a big believer in the flu shot as it is. We got them this year as a precautionary prior to our travel, but overall, I'd prefer not to get 'em. And then I read something about these 28 pregnant women who died after getting the h1n1....
1:48 pm

You are probably immune to H1N1 noew, Ata.

My perspective has changed over the last several yrs and I do now get my flu vaccine every year. Flu is typically not life-threatening but it predisposes one to secondary bacterial complications that can be fatal.

Most people with H1N1 disease have mild-moderate symptoms and it is milder than what is seen with seasonal flu.
1:51 pm
Wolvie

oh wow ata - glad you recovered without intervention, but that must have been scary
1:51 pm
Scrabbler

Asthm placed you at risk, Ata.
1:51 pm
Atalante

yes ... for one night I was really quite worried!
1:52 pm
Scrabbler

Again, I think that an opportunity to build up one's army against the bad guys is a very good thing.
1:52 pm
AsGreen

glad you are ok Ata; and still not sure Scrabbs! :)

1:53 pm
Atalante

I actually to start with thought I had food poisoning - I spent all night on the loo dying, with an asthma attack on top of that. Then just didn't get better, and started all the classic symptoms of flu. Took me about 7 days to feel any better, even with tamiflu
1:53 pm
AsGreen

I think the sn5/6/7 are made up words, lol
1:53 pm
Atalante

and now, nerly 2 weeks later I still feel pretty much like crap
1:53 pm
Wolvie

i need one o - i have ob 4 - what is the other?
1:53 pm
Atalante

(just saying randomly what flu here was like!)
1:54 pm
Scrabbler

It is a gamble, asg. The way I see it is I would not regret getting the seasonal/H1N1 vaccines but I could regret NOT getting them.
1:54 pm
Wolvie

really ata? still feeling unwell? Maybe you should go round to a doc just for a check
1:54 pm
lynxxx

Glad you are nearly OK Ata, you sound like an advertisement for getting the shot.

Scrabbler

Ata, you might have secondary pneumonia--get yourself to a doc!
1:56 pm
AsGreen

I know scrabbs, usually I'm very logical about this sort of thing, but for some reason, every year, I get more philosophical and "gut feeling"-ish about the flu shot...lol (no pun intended)
1:56 pm
Wolvie

ty lynxx

Hype from emotional/non-scientific anti-vaccine folks allows emotions to cloud reason.
1:57 pm

2:03 pm
Atalante

I'm very very alert with anything to do with lungs. Comes from yesras of asthma hospitalisation!
2:04 pm
Wolvie

I bet you are - asthma, from a nonsufferers's prospective, is frightening enough. From you view, it can only be worse
2:05 pm
Atalante

I dont' really have problems, I'm very lucky. I don't have exercise-related asthma, just pollution-related problems. So as long as the air is clear, I'm fine. Every harvest season - nightmare!
2:06 pm
Wolvie

well - that is something at least. :-)
2:07 pm
Wolvie

2:35 pm
Atalante

2:35 pm

2:35 pm
Wolvie

2:35 pm
Atalante

does it ever!
2:36 pm
KatieMcG

we were just talking about ms at work today one of our work partners has it and it is the aggressive type so he has had to give up work at 45. It's so sad he has 4 children
2:36 pm
Atalante

best friend too ... though she's thinking of changing cos she's getting weirdo side effects now
2:36 pm
Wolvie

the interferon gave her incredible emotional swings. She has been on the copax for around 18 years
2:36 pm
Atalante

that's awful :(
2:36 pm
KatieMcG

things like this does prove the value of the NHS
2:36 pm
Atalante

2:36 pm
Atalante

2:36 pm

2:36 pm
Atalante

ayla's been on it for a few years now. but she's started to get huge hot flushes and dizziness after injection
2:37 pm
Wolvie

she was diagnosed in 88 - one year or so on interferon/betaseron, then copax
2:38 pm
Wolvie

2:44 pm
KatieMcG

2:45 pm
Wolvie

2:45 pm
Atalante

3:16 pm
jacq

probably jmc, it is really really sweet
3:16 pm
Atalante

if you make it with a very plain base, not sugary, it kinda balances out
3:16 pm

3:17 pm

3:27 pm
Vicuna

3:27 pm
Vicuna

There, jacq. If they recycled UNused condoms would you be able to ride the bikes?
3:27 pm
jacq

i agree jmc, but at that rate durex will never sponsor the tour de france
3:28 pm
jmcnrick

I would ride them but it looses some the green if you recycle an unused product

3:49 pm
Vicuna

No, I haven't got the technical skill for that kind of detail, alas. Why?
3:49 pm
Atalante

I am ....
3:49 pm
Atalante

LOL
3:50 pm
Vicuna

Etchings, or drawings?
3:50 pm
Atalante

drawings. thats hard enough!!!
3:50 pm
Atalante

I'm being quite amazed at how it twiddles your mind
3:50 pm
Vicuna

Yeah, I would think so! But I have fooled around with tesselations some.
3:51 pm
Atalante

fun, though, isn't it? I'm trying to do a tessellation of "angels and demons"
3:51 pm
Vicuna

That should be cool. How's it coming?
3:52 pm
Atalante

very very slowly LOL. I just pulled it out again, hence the question
3:52 pm
Atalante

the angels are easy, trying to con the devils into fitting is harder
3:53 pm
Vicuna

The one trick I've played with is taking a base shape, like rectangle, and then if you cut bits out and attach them back on somewhere else around the edge, no matter how complicated your shape it will always tesselate.
3:53 pm
Atalante

I'm trying that ... sort of ... but just drawing it out. I'm going to have very strange shaped devils :D
3:54 pm
Vicuna

Well, devils are warped, right?
3:54 pm
Atalante

that's my theory :P
3:54 pm
Atalante

I'll let you know how it goes
3:54 pm
Vicuna

3:56 pm
Vicuna

Well, yes, but it's all part of your ineffable charm.
3:56 pm
Atalante

I'm trying to decide at the moment whether to go to the extra effort to try and make each angel and demon different, giving one a sword for Michael, one a key for Uriel etc etc
3:56 pm
Vicuna

Hello, hurshy!
3:56 pm
Atalante

hi smurshy!

4:31 pm
Jellen

That's presuming no other income though, right, jmc?
4:31 pm
jmcnrick

maybe the win/loss records from the casino will work I am not too familiar with real casinos
4:32 pm
jmcnrick

yes that is right jellen but it does give you a ball park to know how much you can safely blow
4:33 pm
jmcnrick

but that is only the federal take, ok will want its share too

orrrrrrrr New Zealand or Aus or any small tropical island or South Africa
5:22 pm
KatieMcG

here with Bry, Mum & Dad, but if I went away again the only place I would go would be to Canada to see Diem and Mrs Diem
5:22 pm
Dorens

i'd like to go to egypt... somehow i think there might be a bit less of the christmas spirit there than elsewhere
5:22 pm
Atalante

it's not very christmassy there, but it's really lovely
5:23 pm
Dorens

beautiful silverclaw picture ata.
5:23 pm
Atalante

5:24 pm
Atalante

sily is generally a very unassuming little kitty
5:25 pm
Atalante

she has her moments though
5:25 pm
Dorens

lucy has never forgiven me for getting my second cat.... she just hates him and growls at him and is quite aggressive... she's getting old now, and he could beat her if he wanted, and i think she knows it... spends a lot of time outside, but comes in daily to eat, drink and hiss at him
5:25 pm
Atalante

like informing me of her presence Very Loudly at 2:27am this morning
5:26 pm
Dorens

however she is beautiful and was my darling when she was younger, and i still love her.
ouch... 2;27, not my finest hour
5:26 pm
Atalante

5:38 pm
Dorens

same coloring too. that nice browny kind of grey- a thoroughly agreeable look, to my taste
5:39 pm
Atalante

Sily has quite amazing colouring - a mix of her mum and dad - she has these tiny stripes going down along her sides, then huge thick stripes on her legs, and spots on her tummy :)
5:39 pm
Atalante

I love tabbies
5:39 pm
herinfernallady

Thank you Ata
5:40 pm
Dorens

lucy's tummy is that nice soft brown color... Baby is a tabby too, but without the brown color... white belly, white throat, and very cute but yellow eyes rather than green. i have always had tabbies, save one all grey cat with gorgeous green eyes
5:40 pm
Atalante

tabbies are the best ::)

8:57 pm
Jacula

Someone asked me earlier (yesterday now, via e-mail) if I was really going to attend JC's gig in Devon. Well, let's see, I wasn't offerd a back stage pass or even a free tickt. I was just trying to establish if he was the real thing or not. I go no response either way.
8:57 pm
Dorens

taking step and her cousin on holiday? nice.
8:58 pm
Jacula

po6 is a British barman, or po* what you put a plant intoo + a male.

Thank you Jacula!!
8:59 pm

ty for po6. don't think i'd have tried that one on my own
8:59 pm
Jacula

Trif - hee's in Devon because he's not famous enough any more to be in anything other than provincial theatres.
8:59 pm

po*head... now that is something I could have recognized (in my youth, of course)
8:59 pm
Dorens

hahahha
9:00 pm

J.. If you're on line, please feel free to speak.
9:00 pm

9:01 pm
Jacula

Now, Dorens, be careful not to become hysterical there.
9:01 pm
Dorens

oh no, jac, in full c control always! (3 glasses of sangiovese to the contrary)
9:03 pm
Dorens

now honestly, how can spam not be in the dictionary??????
9:03 pm
Jacula

He was once famous enough to get his own 'Who Do You Think Yoou Are?' programme one, though. I was a bit concerned watching part of itm, when he went into his parents back garden, to hear his mother say, 'I hope you don't find any FOREIGNERS in our family!'
9:04 pm
Jacula

Spam is NOT in the dictionatary.
9:04 pm
Dorens

is there anyone here who doesn' t know monty python? if not unwanted emails? I know it's not in the dictionary, but we all know the word!!!
9:05 pm
Dorens

well, i never heard of him before but i sure do know plenty about him now. more than i need to, actually
9:05 pm
Jacula

I must watch the rest of the programme to see what his mother meant, if it was ever explained.
9:06 pm
Dorens

would it be worth your time?
9:06 pm
Jacula

I won't post the link to that programme here, lest it sudddenly we deleted.
9:07 pm
Jacula

It'd be worth 2 morning big cups of tea, Dorens, whilst I' awakening.
9:07 pm
Dorens

9:10 pm

Any moe clues needed before I have to get up to make sure Beloved doesn't pack my jam making stuff (jars etc) in with our holiday stuff?

Lindrickway

where you going Jac?
9:12 pm
Dorens

so where are you off to jac?
9:12 pm
Jacula

He assured me he would not do that earlier, but he had to find two of those plugs thingeys with about 6 things you can plug into earlier, to [ut away for the packing. He put them atop my jam-making boxes. LOL
9:12 pm
Lindrickway

LOL
9:12 pm
Dorens

well, depending on where you are, perhaps you can make some very interesting jam
9:13 pm

9:17 pm
Jacula

My homemade jam and chutney issecondto none, so I am told.
9:18 pm
Dorens

i've made an incredible chutney.. though not in 10 - 20 years at this point... had ll sorts of stuff... mangos, pears, canteloupe, apples, walnuts... took days to make.. did it with friends and it was well worth it.. but they're gone now and so is the free tiime
9:20 pm
Dorens

at this point i'd be glad to find someone who makes it and i'll pay them. no longer renjoy the hours in the kitchen... would rather babble
9:20 pm
Jacula

Dorens - see my blog fpr a great chutney recipe.
9:21 pm
Dorens

and i'd be loathe to compete with yours jac!
9:21 pm
Dorens

tell me how to find your blog, please
9:22 pm
Jacula

Dorens- I reallydon't think the shipping cost for one jar would be worth it when you could makeit and mmore for youself.
9:22 pm
Jacula

I thought you were already invited to my blog, Dorens?
9:23 pm
Jacula

Oh not, I see. I need an e-mail address to invite you with.
9:23 pm
Dorens

haha! you are right. but i can't imagine when i'd want to spend the time to make mine... need to find y our recipe.... and maybe i was, not saying i wasn't. but i'm rather brain dead and maybe i didn't notice? can you do it through facebook?
9:25 pm
Lindrickway

I think I have both of you on my facebook
9:25 pm
Dorens

most exciting.. will probably take a month or two to find the time to do this, but most excited that i can finally make chutney again since Ken would really really appreciate it for christmas. so would various family members. oh joy oh joy, i'm going to be redomesticated
9:25 pm
Jacula

Yes, I can do it through Facebook. I think we are connected there, aren't we? If not, we'll remedy that.
9:26 pm
Dorens

yes we are, and i've just even sent you a message
9:26 pm
Jacula

If you'd read my blog, Dorens, yoiu'd kow that my Beloved hatees the smell of chutney being made and doesn't eat it either;
9:26 pm
Dorens

yes lind.. but i basically only use facebook to play the dastardly addictive game of lexulous
9:26 pm
Lindrickway

oh I love that game too!

Jacula

Lindrick - how can you bear to eat take-out pizza when my Belove makes pizza so much better?
9:28 pm
Dorens

jacs, your beloved is not exactly convenient to lind now is he?
9:29 pm
Dorens

Thank you for the ta 6/24 clue. I just found the word
10:23 pm
stidmama

it's going well ping, I think. the teachers aren't as clear about expectations as I like... but it's a learning experience for me, and I am treating it as such. Also I am practicing being assertive to get my needs met. Seems to be working okay.
10:23 pm

Well, I'm about done in. 38 words left but my brain left a while ago.
10:24 pm

10:24 pm

I have to indicate the school I want to do my practicum in for the next two quarters. And think about where my first actual student teaching will be...
10:24 pm
stidmama

It's harder in some ways than I expected, but to be honest at this point it's not that bad.
10:24 pm
Ping

wow, i didn't realize you could make that decision yourself
10:24 pm
stidmama

so that's my life in a nutshell. I still have two kids, and that's probably a good thing (most days). *wicked mama grin*
10:24 pm
stidmama

how about you?
10:25 pm
stidmama

only for the practicum, and we aren't supposed to ask for schools where we actually know people.
10:25 pm
Ping

is the school you're attending sort of liberal artsy as opposed to technical?
10:26 pm

10:28 pm
featherbee

it's apparently very common in young kids. fever, mouth sores, rash on hands and feet
10:28 pm
Ping

i never can remember what that is, feather, except that it's very contagious
10:29 pm
stidmama

that doesn't sound comfortable. I hope they recover soon.
10:29 pm
featherbee

no real treatment other than treat the symptoms. tylenol, etc.
10:29 pm
