12:46 am

jillibus

well, I enjoy, ruru. I'm also listening to TV

12:46 am

jan

The big grids give the illusion of easiness because you get to type frantically as the words fill in...

12:46 am

rururocks

bye nan.. I should head out too... night all..good luck jilli, and Flosey.. knock them down

12:46 am

jillibus

Anyway, I'm in no hurry

Good luck all, off to check on the faucets outside tonight so the pipes don't freeze.

12:47 am

rururocks

lol

12:48 am

jillibus

12:48 am

jan

Seattle. Are you in Western Canada?

12:49 am

jillibus

just north of you, jan -- Salt Spring Island, BC

12:49 am

jan

Seattle is where the words "canadian air mass" strike fear into the hearts of homeowners.

12:49 am

dcseain

http://xkcd.com/672/ - if on FB, you should see that comic. it's totally ROFLMAO

12:49 am

jan

Ah, Salt Spring Island--how lucky!!

12:50 am

Wonder who the Alaskans blame??

12:51 am

jillibus

Well, they can see Russia from there :)

12:51 am

jan

Wel,, enjoy the puzzle, jilli, and keep warm!!

12:51 am

I hear I is looking for a p?

12:57 am

jillibus

well enough that I'll be at bridge tomorrow -- with cough drops

12:58 am

flosey

oh, good, see you there

12:58 am

jillibus

she's not looking any more -- will play with Gisela the next week when I have to be in Vic and miss the Xmas do :(

12:59 am

jillibus

THAT should be interesting!

1:00 am

flosey

ah, sorry you'll miss the Christmas do, but yes, will be an interesting match

1:01 am

jillibus

mismatch, I think!

1:01 am

flosey

well if a match is made in heaven, where is a mismatch made? hahaha

1:03 am

jillibus

I look forward to reports, lol!

1:03 am

flosey

I do hope we play them

1:04 am

jillibus

I hope so too!

1:04 am

flosey

Gesila has such a great sense of humour, perhaps she'll even make I laugh at herself?

1:05 am

jillibus

Maybe.

1:06 am

flosey

she and I got into a bit of a giggle one night - unfortunately at her p's expense

1:08 am

jillibus

I gave I a brief summary of responses to transfers the other day (she hasn't a clue) and begged her to read it. Talked to her on the phone and she said she had done so, but in trying to discuss it she didn't even know what it was about and thought it was about the 2NT 12-15 point count response

1:08 am

jillibus

Frustrating.

1:09 am

flosey

yes, I find it strange, she is a smart woman but sometimes she can give you such a vacant stare

1:10 am

jillibus

Doesn't want to hear about anything new.

1:10 am

jillibus

New to her.

1:10 am

flosey

lol, was just going to say new since when

1:11 am

flosey

you'll find a bit of that in the AH games

1:11 am

morning all

1:42 am

sprite

hehehe funny pet, jilli. Never had one either. But I bet my kids would love one.

1:47 am

jillibus

hi sprite!

1:48 am

jillibus

firewords :)

1:48 am

sprite

hi jilli :)

1:48 am

sprite

and wtg dear friend.

1:49 am

jillibus

That IS a cute kitty, sprite :)

1:49 am

sprite

isn't it :)
We used to have cats. Love to have Terra, but sometimes I miss the feline silliness and arrogance.

1:53 am

jillibus

well, you could get a cat too. Terra might like a pet :)

1:54 am

sprite

lol who knows!

1:55 am

sprite

today I will get the test results from the neurologist, jilli. Keep your fingers crossed for me, please? I'd love it to be something known and treatable!

1:57 am

jillibus

Oh, fingers and toes crossed, sprite!

1:58 am

sprite

thanks jilli. I have a bad feeling about it... not the feeling it is something dreadful, but the feeling they couldn't reallly find the cause. So I am glad with your fingers and toes!

1:59 am

jillibus

Please post the results in your bio so that I don't have to stay up tomorrow night to find out!

1:59 am

sprite

oh good idea, I will. Will be late tonight though, because afterwards I go to my sister's.

2:03 am

sprite

but late tonight for me will still be very early for you, I think. We are apart some 6 hours, right? It is 9 o'clock here right now, in the morning.

2:04 am

jillibus

Just after midnight here

2:05 am

sprite

ok, 9 hours even then. When I get home tonight, it will still be afternoon at yours. All will be well :D

2:06 am

jillibus

Great -- then I'll know before going to bridge, and I'm counting on good news.

2:07 am

sprite

lovely. It is wonderful, how strongly one can feel the support from babble friends. It really helps.

2:10 am

jillibus

Interesting that you were thinking we were 6 hours apart -- maybe for grid time, which is Central. We have 4 time zones here -- Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific. I'm in the Pacific zone.

2:11 am

jillibus

Actually, we have another one -- Newfoundland, which is a half hour diffrence from Eastern!

2:12 am

sprite

I am always finding it hard to get everybody's time straight. It is not my strong suit, lol.

2:13 am

sprite

omg 5 time zones in one country. Craziness!

2:13 am

sprite

and half an hour difference is extra tough. Most zones are in full hours.

2:13 am

jillibus

And I must go to bed -- trying to get rid of this cough.

2:13 am

sprite

sleep well, jilli, and get better. *hugs*

2:14 am

jillibus

I wonder if Russia has more time zones.

2:14 am

sprite

jilli: 11

2:14 am

jillibus

. . . going to Google . . .

2:14 am

sprite

lol I beat you to it

2:15 am

jillibus

oh, thanks! Thought it would be more, but that's a lot!

2:15 am

sprite

incredible! I would never be able to keep track.

2:15 am

jillibus

more than Canada, I mean.

2:16 am

jillibus

don't have to, thank goodness!

2:16 am

sprite

am truly thankful for that.

2:17 am

jillibus

So off I go -- happly babbling!

2:17 am

jillibus

I'm here now, hi Merk

4:44 am

4:45 am

I just found the co 8. That one definitely is new to me.

Makes typing difficult doesn't it, Brookie?

4:46 am

Brookie

yes

4:48 am

Merk

mega should be a word

4:49 am

Brookie

Both hands free now...

4:50 am

Merk

Were my husband home, he would know that I had gone over the edge. I got up to go to the bathroom and stayed up to babble.

4:51 am

Brookie

That's not going over the edge. That's dedication.

4:52 am

Brookie

At least that's how I justify it to myself. :-)

4:52 am

Merk

I started it to help my brain cells and ended up addicted. But I tell him that there are a lot worse things to be addicted to.

4:53 am

forwardbyfaith

anyone have the no6 please?

4:53 am

Brookie

And at least there are only a finite number of Babble solutions per day/grid, so at some point you have to stop each day.

4:53 am

Brookie

I don't, sorry! But will look for it.

4:57 am

Merk

take the first three letters of what you breath with

4:57 am

forwardbyfaith

hi Button

Buttonman

Hi Lynxxx

5:02 am

Merk

It was totally new to me. It builds on the co 4,5 and is a compound word ... second syllable a common girl's name.

5:02 am

Buttonman

clue for the co 8 please

5:02 am

lynxxx

co9 compound, ends in girls name

5:03 am

Buttonman

got it, thanks

5:05 am

Merk

Don't read on if you don't want a clue, but I finally found a new word that is easy to clue. ra 6,21 rhymes with the strongest man in the Bible.

5:05 am

lynxxx

TY

5:06 am

Buttonman

thanks merk, that is a new one for me and so was the co8

5:07 am

Merk

me, too

5:09 am

Eva

hi everyone, from dark and chilly Vermont.

5:10 am

lynxxx

hi Eva

5:10 am

Merk

Good morning ... it's the same here in SD.

5:10 am

Eva

I'm being stymied by the o's-have none except for the og4.

5:10 am

Merk

And yes, I am up too early to be babbling.

5:10 am

Eva

Have you guys already had a lot of snow merk?

5:10 am

Chris P

have or4/8

5:11 am

lynxxx

og4.7 & 5.16 pair

5:11 am

lynxxx

oo4.4

5:11 am

Eva

it's the bottom right corner o I don't have

5:12 am

Merk

Not a lot, just enough to make the streets slippery. It flurried most of the weekend.

5:12 am

Eva

ah!

5:12 am

Eva

how could I not have seen the kinky party?!

5:12 am

Merk

if you have the co 5, take the c off.

5:14 am

Eva

that's the pair I havent found lynxx

5:15 am

Eva

got them. Thanks!

5:16 am

lynxxx

yw

5:16 am

Merk

How much snow have you had in Vermont?

5:17 am

Eva

yesterday we had about 2 inches. We had the same about a month ago but of course it went away. Very odd. There was a record set yesterday for the latest snow to fall in Burlington.

5:17 am

Merk

My family got 15" back in Michigan yesterday ... yikes! That will likely stay to make a white Christmas

5:17 am

Eva

yikes indeed!

5:18 am

Merk

That is unusual ... no snow ever registered before December 6 ever ....

5:19 am

Eva

Usually by Thanksgiving there is some significant coverage on the ground. If this keeps up there will be damage to plants, but has also been oddly warm a lot of the time too.

5:20 am

Eva

4 left and time to resort to the list

5:21 am

Buttonman

anyone have the ma 5...it is stumping me

5:21 am

lynxxx

Homers wife?

5:21 am

Eva

woman's name-think simpsons

5:22 am

Buttonman

thanks

5:23 am

Merk

... and fireworks!

5:24 am

lynxxx

Congrats Merk!

5:24 am

Merk

ty, now the question is ... do I bother going back to bed? It's almost 5:30 here.

5:25 am

Eva

done!

5:25 am

lynxxx

Congrats Eva!

5:25 am

Eva

can you fall back to sleep this late? I wonder that the incidence of insomnia is among babblers. Seems to be high

5:25 am

Merk

wtg, Eva

5:26 am

Merk

It certainly is for me.

5:27 am

Eva

For one thing there is a preponderance of women of a "certain" age -where insomnia is often an issue.

5:29 am

Eva

And more and more I know how critical getting enough sleep is to everything else. I finally gave in a couple of years ago to taking a small amount of medication and it has made a huge difference. I wish I could sleep well without it, but had tried everything else-all the herbal cures, etc and none of them helped.

5:29 am

Merk

I fall right to sleep at night, but if the furnace turns on toward morning, it seems to wake me up. Or else I have to use the bathroom, and if I look at the clock, I am doomed.

5:31 am

Eva

same here. Or, if as happened last night, on the way back from the bathroom I step on a deal mole someone had thoughtfully left on the rug next to the bed and it pops and you have to scrape molage off the bottom of your foot.

5:31 am

Eva

that was "dead" mole

5:32 am

Merk

gross ... I take it you have a gift-giving feline

5:32 am

lynxxx

and would that someone be Merp?

5:33 am

Eva

very generous 3 moles in the past couple of weeks. Don't know what they are doing inside of the house. Must have been a nest and I hope this is the end of them. If it was my human partner I'd be in big trouble lynxxx

5:34 am

Scrabbler

Hello Babble buddies.

5:34 am

lynxxx

hi Scrabs

5:34 am

Merk

Hey, Scrabbler, where you been?

5:35 am

Eva

of course for a cat, gifting someone with a mole is giving something that you don't like, so the generosity is dubious. A bit more like "Here-I don't know what to do with this as I find it inedible so would you please make it go away?" Hi scrabbler

5:35 am

Scrabbler

I've been checking e-mail, facebook, the news, etc. Now I can Babble.

5:35 am

Merk

Here, it would be mice. I haven't had a mole in my yard in 30 plus years, when they made a tunnel and ate all but one of my tulip bulbs.

5:35 am

Merk

I saw you were here when I was alone in the Chat box for what seemed like ages. There must have been a lot of people lunching or drinking coffee.

5:36 am

Eva

Funny-I've never had garden problems with the moles. Lots of trouble with deer, chipmunk, slugs, earwigs, but not moles.

5:36 am

Scrabbler

I never log out of here so it always shows that I am on-line.

5:36 am

Scrabbler

What are earwigs?

5:36 am

Eva

the sky is finally getting lighter-at 6:30. I have to keep telling myself that we are only a couple of weeks away from the solstice.

5:37 am

Merk

My daughter had three cats for a brief time in her life. She and her hubby woke up to such a racket one night and it was the cats chasing each other to see who would capture the mouse. They ended up gifting it while it was still alive.

5:37 am

Merk

Insects

5:37 am

lynxxx

I never log out either, does that mean I look like I am here even if laptop off?

5:37 am

Scrabbler

I think so, Lynxxx

5:37 am

Eva

earwigs are some of the more disgusting insects on the planet. They slither and have big pincers.

5:38 am

Scrabbler

*going to research earwigs*

5:39 am

Eva

they eat rotting vegetation and last summer was so incredibly wet here that we had a plague of them. They love lettuce especially and hide in the inner leaves to come out and cause shrieking when one is washing the lettuce off.

5:39 am

lynxxx

and once you have earwigs, you have them for life! luckily usually outside

5:39 am

Scrabbler

Eeeeew, those posterior pincers are creepy!

5:39 am

Merk

Yup, you are here. I do the same thing.

5:40 am

Eva

last summer they moved in. One fell out of my checkbook. I mean it rained for about 2 months straight so the garden was something of a bust anyway, except for the early crops.

5:40 am

Merk

Oh, yuck, I'm suddenly glad it's winter and I'm not harvesting lettuce.

5:40 am

Eva

yes, that is something to be thankful for

5:41 am

Merk

The only thing comparable that I heard is from my Dad. Before I was born, he owned a produce store. Tarantulas would come in hidden in the huge bunches of bananas. Ponder that for awhile.

5:42 am

Merk

Think of all the ships that come in with produce and reefers from Mexico. There must be all manner of insects arriving with it. How do the corral them all? I suppose the big warehouses all get treated regularly.

5:43 am

lynxxx

They would all be sprayed wouldn't they? Where is DC when you want him - he would know

5:43 am

Eva

much worse. That is still a problem apparently. When I volunteered in a zoo for a while one of my jobs was misting the tarantula cage, for which one had to open the front pane of glass. After a couple of traumatic incidents I refused. I love reptiles, so the snakes, lizards, etc were fine, and I could make myself deal with th African hissing cockroaches ( I mean really-why would anyone keep one of those as pets?!), but not spiders. I draw the line at spiders.

5:45 am

Merk

A science teacher in the jr. high where I student taught had a tarantula for a pet. On the days he brought it to school, he would let it climb his or anyone's arm. I politely declined.

5:45 am

Eva

eeeewwww

5:45 am

Scrabbler

*getting the heebie-jeebies now*

5:46 am

lynxxx

Not getting past this last 12 so I might head to bed..bye Scrabs Eva & Merk, have a good Monday

5:47 am

Eva

night lynxx

5:47 am

Merk

Thanks, Lynxx, and you a good night's sleep.

5:48 am

Merk

Well, I'd better be off to make some breakfast. See you tomorrow.

5:48 am

Eva

seems like the worst of the swine flu has passed here, unless there is going to be another round later. My friends with children all seem to be back from plague land, and the kids were finally vaccinated in school last week. Vaccine delivery in Vermont was seriously screwed up! And there has been no seasonal flu vaccine for months. I had to get some from out of state.

5:49 am

Eva

bye merk

5:50 am

Eva

Have you seen a diminishing of cases in your practice scrabbler?

5:51 am

Eva

okay, everyone's wandering off so think I will too.

5:53 am

Scrabbler

H1N1 activity was highest here from 2nd week in October through 2nd wk of Nov---5 local kids died. Yes, the production + distribution of seasonal + H1N1 vaccines have been a public health failure.

5:55 am

crosshair

good morning everyone;)

5:55 am

Scrabbler

Hi Crossy! And GM to your lovely wife, Elegant.

5:56 am

Eva

That's so sad about the 5 kids. Did you treat any of them? How much was there really a screw up in production and distribution and how much was this just too overwhelming a task? Here they did the seasonal flue vaccine in early October and since I had a virus then I couldn't get it and by the time I was well enough there was none. Seems strange that they still have it in NH, Mass and NY but not in Vt

5:56 am

crosshair

same here,by the time the shots became available to the general public,it was too late

5:56 am

Eva

morning cross

5:57 am

crosshair

lol my better half is smart,she is still sleeping

5:57 am

Buttonman

...............FIREWORKS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

5:57 am

Scrabbler

H1N1 production and distribution came too late--should have been available + given in August + September before schools/colleges began.

5:57 am

Eva

congrats button!

5:57 am

Scrabbler

Yahoo Buttonman!

5:57 am

Scrabbler

Seasonal flu illness usually begins in January so there is still time to protect people.

5:58 am

Eva

I was thinking of shunning everyone below the age of 50 for a while there.

5:58 am

PinnyPoppins

hello and goodbye - got my fireworks and now got to find something to do with the rest of my day!

5:58 am

Buttonman

Thanks and bye

5:58 am

crosshair

those at highest risk managed to get shots in before the second round of outbreak but it was a close thing

5:58 am

PinnyPoppins

anyone need a clue before i go?

5:58 am

Scrabbler

Yay Pinny! This is a tough grid.

5:58 am

PinnyPoppins

i did monkey a couple of words

5:59 am

PinnyPoppins

like the co8

5:59 am

Eva

Im not eligible for the N1H1 because of my age so I hope that it has shown us its worst.

6:00 am

crosshair

it is all over but the crying now eva

6:00 am

Eva

do you really think so crossy? Or will there be another round?

6:00 am

Scrabbler

Well said, Crossy, esp for survivors of deceased victims

6:01 am

crosshair

ask scrabbs,but i think thats it

6:01 am

Scrabbler

There is concern of further waves that will infect those not hit previously.

6:01 am

Atalante

they are still forcasting another, worse, round here after Christmas I think

6:02 am

Eva

My friends have been lucky in that no one had to be hospitalized.

6:02 am

Scrabbler

hi Ata

6:02 am

crosshair

ooh,so maybe grab the shots if you can ever get ahold of 1

6:02 am

Atalante

and hi :)

6:02 am

Atalante

I've still got to have my shot

6:03 am

Eva

a couple of my friends, who have kids with asthma, took them out of school for a couple of months until they had been vaccinated.

6:03 am

crosshair

but there is the incubation period till the shots start to work,so id not delay

6:03 am

Scrabbler

And take your vitamin D (www.vitamindcouncil.org)

6:03 am

Atalante

they decided they couldn't give it to me last weekend *sigh*

6:04 am

Eva

what dosage do you think scrabbler? I've increased to 2500 iu a day. Do you think that's enough?

6:04 am

Scrabbler

I am taking 5000 IU/day for the winter.

6:05 am

crosshair

im a good boy srabbs,taking my vitamins,taking my glucosamine and my probiotics

6:05 am

Scrabbler

I believe that Dr Cannell, on that web site, suggests 5000 IU/d to boost immune system and avoid flu.

6:05 am

Eva

thanks for letting me know. Are there any possible side effects from taking too much that one should know about?

6:05 am

Scrabbler

Good Crossy.

6:06 am

Atalante

or 14,000 IU/d if you have MS and want to try it

6:06 am

Scrabbler

There is belief that MS, cancer rates are higher in those with vit D deficiency

6:07 am

Eva

since I began having gall bladder problems and then had it removed I've had a really hard time with taking fish oil supplements, which is a problem because they really help with inflammation - any thoughts about how to handle that?

6:07 am

Scrabbler

I have no GB and take enteric coated fish oil capsules

6:07 am

Atalante

some MS studies suggest up to 20,000IU/d, but more say 14,000. Sounds horrid

6:08 am

crosshair

crossy shudders and remembers the tablesppons of cod liver oil as a child..

6:08 am

Scrabbler

*starting to dread leaving Babble Land in order to start work week*

6:08 am

Scrabbler

How old are you, Crossy?

6:08 am

Eva

I never heard of those. I'll give that a try. Thanks so much! Do you have trouble with digesting lipids in general?

6:09 am

crosshair

45

6:09 am

Scrabbler

Yes, "indigestion", but I avoid fatty food whenever possible

6:10 am

Scrabbler

You are like my brother, Crossy. He is 44. My mother never gave us cod liver oil.

6:10 am

Eva

So do I - dairy especially - but the fish oil has been a real loss so I'm glad to hear that there may be a solution.

6:10 am

Atalante

omg. sister might actually get into hospital this week! yay!

6:10 am

crosshair

i can stil see the bottle in my mind hehe

6:11 am

Eva

what is she going for Ata?

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Or take flax seed tablets, or borage==vegetarian sources of omega-3 FAs

6:11 am

Atalante

to get a blood transfusion

6:12 am

Scrabbler

At 52/50 I must quickly get ready for work. I go to the Indian Reservation on Mondays--a longer drive.

6:12 am

Scrabbler

I am wishing her the best of luck, Ata, and for the docs too.

6:12 am

Eva

do all the omega 3's have the same anti-inflammatory /anti -plaque effect?

6:13 am

crosshair

hagd scrabbs

6:13 am

Scrabbler

I think if they are omega-3 FAs

6:13 am

Eva

best of luck to her Ata!

6:13 am

Atalante

her Hb is at 5.1g/dl

6:13 am

Atalante

so we're all crossing fingers, I'll let you know when she actually gets in :)

6:13 am

crosshair

and best to your sister ata,my m-i-l actually had to go in for blood last week as well,2 pints i believe

6:13 am

Eva

be careful Scrabbs. There's black ice out there this morning

6:13 am

Scrabbler

OMG! That is bad! She will go into congestive heart failure soon without a transfusion!!

6:14 am

Atalante

exactly!!

6:14 am

Scrabbler

*panicking about black ice now*

6:14 am

Atalante

her GP, mum and me all yelled all her surgeon at the end of last week. It seemed to help

6:14 am

crosshair

yes carefull scrabbs,its glassy here as well this morn

6:14 am

Atalante

be safe, scrabs!

6:14 am

Scrabbler

OK, I must go. I cannot access Babble from Indian Clinic PC--blocked.

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Bye kids!

6:15 am

Eva

no panic allowed. Just caution. Anyway, Im not sure exactly where you are, but the warning was for Vermotn, NH, and points North

6:15 am

Eva

there is such a strange discrepancy in the pay rate for tutors around here - there is a woman here in norwell who tutors kids in math, maybe at the library, or at their home, and she is easily pulling down $40 tax free. This job pays $13 an hour, AFTER you are certified. Sigh

crossy, does crossy jr have a game system? are there particular games he has put on the list this year? I find primo always seems to have at least some that are horrible looking, and I never buy - I think he puts them on the list just to make my head spin around

Anniebrook

Except for an odd word here and there it was a friendly grid

7:40 am

Anniebrook

hi sue

7:40 am

suefrad625

hi all

7:41 am

NonnieLight

yoos guys--I agree!

7:41 am

Trifioso

hello sue!

7:42 am

suefrad625

if Cunt can be a word, mega should be allowed

7:43 am

hego

I still can't believe that one.

7:43 am

suefrad625

it really bothers me

7:44 am

hego

Me too!

7:44 am

suefrad625

it has to be the most filthy word on the planet

7:44 am

NonnieLight

Me too!

7:44 am

hego

Very offensive

7:44 am

Anniebrook

when I first started babbling I was so taken aback when I saw that word that I typed it into the chatlog...you can imagine the teasing I got

7:45 am

suefrad625

There are just some words never to be said or typed, like the N word

7:45 am

hego

Hmmm, I wonder if they accept the male equivalents.

7:45 am

suefrad625

the C word, in my humble opinion, is on that level

7:45 am

NonnieLight

lol annie. I leave it for the last because I can never remember if it is "acceptable" or not.

7:45 am

hego

Annie that's funny.

7:46 am

suefrad625

so I have a problem

7:46 am

Trifioso

phone....have a good day all!

7:47 am

hego

I agree with you Sue.

7:47 am

Anniebrook

anyone want a clue before I start a meatloaf?

7:48 am

NonnieLight

bye bye trif

7:48 am

hego

Tx Annie I'm good for now.

7:48 am

NonnieLight

emmmm meatloaf!

7:48 am

suefrad625

my finace has a son (29) with Bipolar and addiction issues. Now I can hear in his voice that he is tired of me pointing out the red flags (since I grew up in NY in a house with both issues). What do I do, walk away because he is resenting me or shut up and stay and live with his ignorance and how it will affect us in later years?

7:50 am

hego

That's a tough one, Sue.

7:50 am

Anniebrook

That is a hard way to live.

7:50 am

NonnieLight

Tough one, Sue. What does your fiance have to say about this?

7:50 am

Atalante

walk away

7:50 am

hego

And only you can decide. You know your own tolerance level.

7:51 am

hego

Your future hapiness is at stake here.

7:51 am

Judi

Morning, all. Sue - is is your fiance or his son who is complaining?

7:51 am

suefrad625

my fiance

7:51 am

NonnieLight

Good morning, judi!

7:51 am

hego

Hi Judi

7:51 am

Anniebrook

Hi Judi

7:51 am

suefrad625

he thinks it is an assault on both his manhood and fatherhood

7:52 am

hego

Wow! I'm starting to agree with Ata.

7:53 am

Anniebrook

It sounds like your fiance will not accept the seriousness of his son's addiction and illness. How many children do you want?

7:54 am

jmcnrick

hi all

7:54 am

suefrad625

NONE

7:54 am

Atalante

I only say walk away because it's not going to change unless the son wants to change. You can't tell ppl with bipolar that they need to do x, y, and z. And if he won't change, the situation with your fiance won't change

7:54 am

suefrad625

I am 45 he is 51

7:54 am

Judi

He's clearly in over his head with his son living with him. There may be some enabling going on there too. Unless he's willing to get professional help for him - both for the mental illness and the addiction - the situation will only get worse. We went through it with my sister. Fortunately, she was entirely capable of living on her own.

7:54 am

suefrad625

his son just got out of rehab after 57 days and thinks everything is fine and dandy now

7:55 am

suefrad625

my fiance doesnt see this as a lifetime problem

7:56 am

suefrad625

son is on meds,but Dale (fiance) doesnt know the rules of the issues and listens to his son about them

7:56 am

Anniebrook

sue, I didnt mean you actually having children. What I meant was if the situation stays the same both of them will act as children and you will bear the burden

7:56 am

jmcnrick

better to walk away now than to walk away when things are in turmoil

7:56 am

suefrad625

it is crazy that a bipolar thinks he doesnt need therapy, but signs up to the YMCA

7:56 am

suefrad625

oh

7:56 am

suefrad625

whew annie

7:56 am

Judi

Is the son able to work or is he on disability?

7:56 am

suefrad625

dont know Judi

7:57 am

jmcnrick

but you may want to try couples therapy with fiance

7:57 am

suefrad625

able or wants are two different things

7:57 am

Atalante

bipolar people often don't belive they need meds / therapy

7:58 am

jmcnrick

hey if someone would support me I am not sure I would work either

7:58 am

suefrad625

Plus I think he has been on drugs a while and would gander that taken off all the meds and reavaluated may prove very helpful and telling

7:58 am

Judi

My point exactly. Sounds like the fiance has more sympathy than common sense. Time to throw down the gauntlet. No marriage unless the 29 year old son goes to live on his own.

7:58 am

suefrad625

judi, what does that do except cost more

7:58 am

Anniebrook

His son needs to be in a 12 step program

7:58 am

jmcnrick

or at least until there is extensive couples theorpy

7:58 am

Link

bipolar is a lifetime illness, treatable but not curable be very careful

7:58 am

suefrad625

son would NOT live with us in anycase

7:59 am

Atalante

very treatable, but not if he's addicted to other things

7:59 am

Judi

It is possible he will be elible for state assistance in terms of evaluation and treatment. There's probably a lot of paperwork hoops to jump through - but it may be well worth it for all involved.

8:00 am

Link

and not if neither is willing to recognize the illness

8:00 am

jmcnrick

judi has a point -- its a lot harder to accept the responsibility of you adult life with or without bi-polar if you are being carried by your pa

8:00 am

jmcnrick

stand up to fiance first, then as a team stand up to son

8:00 am

suefrad625

exactly JMC

8:00 am

jmcnrick

if not, then walk away

8:01 am

suefrad625

thank you all for your thoughts, it really helps a lot

8:01 am

suefrad625

I am calling Shrink now to set up a couples meeting

8:01 am

Judi

Once my sister was signed up with the state, an advocate was assigned to her. Adv helped her get housing, a job, meds, etc.etc. It was a God send.

8:02 am

Atalante

biploar is a strange disease that some people - like my "darling" husband have no concept of actually existing . being life-changing / life-threatening

8:02 am

jmcnrick

yw now will someone reclue the 8 -- it disappeared from the chog right as I showed up -- the price + what?

8:02 am

jmcnrick

ack I have 2 minutes before I have to leave for work!

8:02 am

Anniebrook

jmc, price and woman's name

8:03 am

jmcnrick

got it now must dash! ty annie

2:57 pm

Pinikula

afternoon all ;)

2:57 pm

Cassi

hi pini

2:58 pm

Pinikula

Although it doesn't cost money, it is encouraged that you "go pro" before requesting it.

2:58 pm

BirdPics

hi im new to this

2:58 pm

zoozzoom

no it is free, but i think they would prefer you to be a pro user (one time fee) after all, they have put alot of work into making all this.

2:58 pm

Pinikula

hi bird

2:58 pm

MPittore

hi pini!

2:58 pm

2:59 pm

zoozzoom

Bye, Edward

jillibus

Babble Expert is free -- and one of its great features is the Lickety Add box, where if you type one word it goes to bot the word list and Lickety's list automatically, and if you type more than one word it goes to the chat.

2:59 pm

Pinikula

that's why I babble only when I'm home

2:59 pm

Hello, Jilli

Hi jilli!

Pinikula

(and, sadly, I'm home again today)

3:00 pm

Cassi

pini: I don't have that much self discipline

3:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's better when I babble at an office than when I am working at home, because at home there are no limits on me

3:00 pm

Pinikula

Hey, Bird...welcome to the game; hollar if you have any questions!

3:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Welcome. This is a friendly group.

3:01 pm

jillibus

sorry to hear that, pini

3:01 pm

zoozzoom

Hello , Kaplan :-)

3:01 pm

Pinikula

Boss said I should save my Minnie Mouse voice for here at home...

3:02 pm

zoozzoom

Helllo, Birdpics..sorry did not see you come in..welcome to babble.

3:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Hi. I am waiting for a 4:00 client. I

3:02 pm

jillibus

Boss is right -- don't push yourself, pini.

3:02 pm

Cassi

Pini: that is sad.. my boss gives us a guilt trip even if we are deathly ill... yaaay for first job out of college

3:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

why wsn't teary a word?

3:03 pm

Pinikula

Well, since I don't often get sick (it's actually rather rare) and I work at a Uni...she was adamant that I "take of yourself" before coming back in! :)

3:03 pm

Pinikula

try typing it again, Kap

3:03 pm

jillibus

Cassi, does your boss want people to spread their viruses to everyone else by going to work sick?

3:03 pm

Cassi

yea, my company consists of 9 ppl... so they do weird things

3:03 pm

zoozzoom

PB for you Kap..lol

3:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oops again. I thought it rejected the word

3:04 pm

Cassi

my boss is a nurse anesthetist and she said "I don't believe in getting sick" and I was like... you're a nurse

3:04 pm

Pinikula

I'm the only staff member in my department! (other than workstudy students who are doing a wonderful job holding down the fort while I'm out)

3:06 pm

MPittore

Cassi...even on the news (and CDC) they are announcing not to go to work sick and how it spreads so many illnesses...very surprising for a health care boss to be like that...I worked at one of the most prestigious health facilities in the world NIH and they would never say that. She should get with the program!

3:07 pm

Pinikula

it really is rather surprising coming from a nurse

3:07 pm

Cassi

well, I work at a medical staffing company... so she practices outside of the office.

3:07 pm

Cassi

yeah, we were all pretty shocked

3:07 pm

crosshair

yes,i had the h1n1 and just quarrantined bith the wife and i for 11 days to prevent spreading

3:07 pm

Pinikula

I'll bet that was a nice "vacation", crossy ;)

the main difference i saw between it and a regular flu is how the fever cycles every 2 days or so it seems to regroup and counter attack

3:09 pm

crosshair

nor reallt pini

3:09 pm

crosshair

darn typos

3:09 pm

Pinikula

I understood, crossy! :)

3:10 pm

Pinikula

so, what are the "symptoms" of the h1n1 flu v reg flu v cold?

3:10 pm

crosshair

lol pini,many of the babble girls were hard on me and my typos this morning..seems all i was doing was correcting myself;/

3:11 pm

crosshair

like i say lini you get fevers of around 101-103 and then every 2 dyas or so it seems to clear ,then it comes back,lots of chest congestion

3:11 pm

Pinikula

Well, you do know that I'm fluent in Typonese...and, besides, when someone corrects a letter or something it only draws my attention back to pick at what I missed.

3:11 pm

crosshair

LOTS of chest congetstion

3:11 pm

Cassi

yummy

3:12 pm

MPittore

I think typos are a good thing...it gives us all a little spark when we find one and we say..."oh there is a typo" and we feel a little smarter if only for a second or so...you can always find the positive in anything if you just look for it!

3:14 pm

Pinikula

Well, whatever I have is apparently staging itself. Last Wed = fever, headache; Thur = better; Fri = went to work for a few hours; Sat = did nothing to ensure "it" was going away; Sun = developed low key productive cough; Mon = low key productive cough and sinus stuffiness...

3:14 pm

Pinikula

...does that sound more like a cold?

3:16 pm

jillibus

I wish I could post a chart I got via email showing the difference between a cold and the flu -- stuffiness, sneezing and sore throats are NOT common with the flu

3:16 pm

Cassi

can someone clue me on re 6,21 and re7,32

3:17 pm

Pinikula

that'd be great, jilli!!!

3:17 pm

3:20 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Mo :-)

3:20 pm

mo

hi Pini and zooz.

3:21 pm

mo

need any help?

3:21 pm

Pinikula

brb - gotta let Koda back in...

3:21 pm

crosshair

pini,with the h1n1,you get nasty congestion with the cycling fever and full chest rattle,i had to use inhalers for a month

3:21 pm

zoozzoom

no i finished this morning, Mo

3:22 pm

Pinikula

thankfully nothing nasty, crossy, all seems to be more cold-like

3:22 pm

mo

it was a fairly easy one today zooz ... dont you think?

3:22 pm

crosshair

and dont bother with antibiotocs with it,it does not help,makes things worse actually

3:23 pm

jillibus

I'm baffled by my ailment -- sounds like flu but no fever! Occasional chills, yes.

3:23 pm

crosshair

i did neo-citrin,vicks vapo-rub,lots of chicken soup and tylenol for the fevers

3:23 pm

Pinikula

sounds like a plan, crossy! * note: avoid *

3:24 pm

zoozzoom

Yes , there were a couple of weird words , but on the whole not bad at all.

3:24 pm

crosshair

and ventolin for the breathing

3:24 pm

Pinikula

jilli...going to look at the email to see where I might fall...brb (and getting Koda)

3:24 pm

jillibus

crossy, are those all prescription things?

3:24 pm

mo

Koda? .. dog or cat?

3:25 pm

crosshair

just the ventolin,but if the dr really hears you rattling he may give you a steroid inhaler as well

3:25 pm

jillibus

I mean is Ventolin prescription?

3:25 pm

mo

zooz ... must admit I had never heard of co8/60 before.

3:25 pm

crosshair

yes

3:25 pm

jillibus

thanks, crossy.

3:26 pm

crosshair

but ventolin and its steroid couter part are covered under most drug plans

3:26 pm

jillibus

I don't think I'm rattling -- just a tight chest if you know what I mean

3:27 pm

jillibus

crossy, I'm in BC -- Pharmacare.

3:27 pm

crosshair

then get a loved one to run you a bath nice and hot,and rub vicks on yer chest and back,slip into some pj,s and have some nice soup

3:27 pm

Was Phoebe thrilled out of her mind?

4:42 pm

Dorens

absolutely. in awe.. just of the building itself (Boston Opera House... incredible place)... but the show too

Pinikula

hi DR :)

5:20 pm

DR1965

How are you? We are rainy and loving it

5:20 pm

Scrabbler

Do you use the app "Stumble Upon"? It is a great way to discover many cool web sites but to also lose all track of time.

5:20 pm

Pinikula

clear and cold here...

5:20 pm

Scrabbler

Hi DR--snow here, car crashes everywhere.

5:20 pm

Pinikula

haven't seen that one, scrabs...do I dare??? :)

5:21 pm

DR1965

what is Stumble Upon? Sounds dangerous

5:21 pm

DR1965

Car crashes and very windy- 30 mile an hour winds

5:22 pm

but, I love the rain- we need it

5:22 pm

oh ho, DR! (bad for the drivers; great for the weather)

5:23 pm

Pinikula

(less the wind)

5:23 pm

Scrabbler

I use Firefox as my browser and found Stumble Upon as one of the most popular and highest rated apps. You enter your interests into the app then click and "stumble upon" sites that match your interests. That is how I found Babble!! Word games is one of my interests.

5:23 pm

Scrabbler

I have found some really need blogs this way too.

5:23 pm

Pinikula

me, too, scrabs...will definitely have to check it out!

5:23 pm

Scrabbler

5:24 pm

DR1965

The internet is a vast library and Stumble Upon allows one to search for specific interests.

7:39 pm

jillibus

I went to the doc today and he listened to my chest, then said to get an X-ray because there was something "not normal" there, which might be an old fibroid or something else. "You're not going to crap out over this, are you?" he said. "You're a fighter." I wonder what he's trying to say.

7:40 pm

jillibus

This doc is new to me and comes out with some strange sayings.

7:41 pm

Night all you babblers. Catch you later.

7:54 pm

Pinikula

ok...but be careful (bundle up and drink plenty of fluids)!

7:55 pm

lbdawger

Pini, the scrapbook is wonderful! i think the fewer pages is better too.

7:55 pm

Pinikula

me, too...it was getting long, but I knew I wasn't going to fill them all...I just wanted the space to figure out just how much I would end up needing

7:56 pm

7:57 pm

7:57 pm

Pinikula

I like the personalization in that the narratives I found compliments of National Geographic and Wikipedia (credits will be in the back of the book) and the photos were taken by me, my dau, and my gd!

7:58 pm

I keep checking outside to see if the puring rain I hear is in danger of flooding the house. Each time, there IS no pouring rain, it's the sound my 'flu bug is putting into my left ear at present.:(

here's something that makes no sense to me... the emergency shelter list is available online. how will a homeless person out in the cold have access to the list? *sad mama look* I feel so guilty for not having a place for people to come in from the cold

9:59 pm

Pini, I think stid would love the book! probably give her lots of ideas

9:59 pm

that sounds very nice LBD, I am going to go to sleep early today. Tomorrow will be sunny again.

10:31 pm

oh funny! cant imagine not being jewish and using it. for me it is natural but i doubt i would pick it up if i werent raised with it. but then again i never just heard oy vey. it was always "oy vey iz meer.......and then followed the issue at hand.

10:32 pm

well you can say "oh gosh or oh darn and it is the same isnt it?

I decided to give up wine for a while. Probably a dumb idea.

10:35 pm

Pinikula

maybe I should take it up!

10:37 pm

Nef

Not necessarily, Bugs. I gave up drinking because I don't feel good when I do drink. Even a single glass of wind causes headaches for me. I like the taste, but not the after effects

10:37 pm

10:41 pm

Are you still sick?

10:41 pm

have a minor productive cough...I think all the aches are from lying down most of the time...

10:43 pm

Nef

what color are you coughing up?

10:44 pm

Pinikula

nothing green!

10:45 pm

there isn't much, the sputum is minimal, but the chest production is a little annoying

10:46 pm

(I can't remember the word in our little rhyme; I've got the first part wrong because pale green should be a watching sign and dark green is serious)

10:50 pm

humidity is just put a pan on the stove top and make a lot of steam. Boil a bunch of water

10:51 pm

Pinikula

kitchen's on the other side of the house...

10:51 pm

Nef

It loosens up the lung crud

10:51 pm

Nef

how about the shower then? Just put the hot water on and sit in the BR a couple times a day

10:52 pm

I'll think on that one, Nef...I might be able to do that for short stints
