12:10 am

12:15 am

westford

I always feel Miss Gilligan's eyes burning a hole in the back of my head

12:16 am

jillibus

I get told "language evolves" but I say no need to have it devolve. Why, when there is a choice between the correct and the incorrect way of saying something, so many choose the incorrect. I was shocked that Anderson Cooper talked about bodies "laying" in the streets of Haiti. Surely he was brought up to use the correct "lying"?

12:16 am

VolleymomDee

Jili, about a year ago, I told them if they improved their vocabulary, then I would have nothing to nag about LOL

1:57 am

flosey

no problem ruby

1:57 am

cybernan

I thought the whole show was terrific -- especially the way the totems changed into trees (or was it the other way around?)

1:57 am

westford

I'm hoping there will be a dvd available of the opening and closing ceremonies and maybe the highlights

1:58 am

jillibus

yes, the totems changed into trees -- I loved that part too

1:58 am

westford

it was so amazing

2:02 am

flosey

aha, was that shortened from a ce****ia

2:02 am

rubyfoo

2:03 am

westford

2:03 am

jillibus

I really don't remember, flosey!

2:03 am

simon and garfunkel

2:04 am

flosey

2:05 am

rubyfoo

2:06 am

flosey

how romantic ruby

2:06 am

westford

that is so cool

2:06 am

flosey

if my hubby sang to me, am afraid it would not be at all romantic!

2:06 am

rubyfoo

I was too young for it to be romantic AND he was very unattractive, except for his voice

2:06 am

westford

lol flosey

2:07 am

rubyfoo

but we were surely friends

2:07 am

jillibus

mine couldn't carry a tune to save his life. Couldn't spell either -- today's theme would have been perfect for him.

2:08 am

jillibus

is ci5 a fish?

2:08 am

flosey

same here jilli, doesn't have the patience to spell properly

2:08 am

jillibus

2:09 am

jillibus

he really liked it!

2:09 am

jillibus

ty west, you devil you!

2:09 am

flosey

2:09 am

westford

lol

2:10 am

flosey

fortunately, his work is in computers

2:10 am

Dippnall

2:14 am

jillibus

2:14 am

rubyfoo

2:14 am

westford

I remember my father used to have an eye cup

2:14 am

rubyfoo

my father, too

2:14 am

jillibus

2:20 am

rubyfoo

I've been saving the broken stuff for many years!

2:20 am

4:14 am

FMitch

4:14 am

rubyfoo

4:15 am

FMitch

Ah that would be me ruby as I work for myself, I regularly fire and rehire myself.

4:16 am

rubyfoo

4:16 am

Atalante

*flop*

4:16 am

rubyfoo

hello ata!

4:17 am

rubyfoo

is flop the other side of flip?

4:17 am

FMitch

I've been independant now for about 5 years and it was the bst move I ever made although there have been some scary moments.

4:17 am

FMitch

Ata!!!!

4:17 am

FMitch

4:18 am

FMitch

FMitch

the c's are a bit of a nightmare ruby

4:20 am

rubyfoo

cold and grey here and they're predicitng precipation

4:20 am

rubyfoo

4:20 am

FMitch

It is the most lovely sunny morning with pale blue skies and wispy clouds.

4:21 am

Atalante

cold but not too cold, bit of frost, bright sunshine, blue skies

4:22 am

FMitch

ruby, with the database behind the grid we never know.

4:23 am

FMitch

Ata have you checked email this morning?

4:23 am

rubyfoo

the English (rather than American) dictionary in lexulous is very liberal; it allows naughty words in the game, but never in the chat

4:24 am

Atalante

nope

4:24 am

FMitch

the DB behind this is Enable and is very quirky.

4:24 am

Atalante

I've only walked the dog for an hour, done half an hour of wii fit, gone shopping ... you want me to read email too??!

4:25 am

FMitch

of course, yr a woman so can multi task :)

4:25 am

rubyfoo

this is much harder than lex blitz which is why I like it

4:26 am

rubyfoo

busy ata, oh, to be young again!!!!

4:26 am

FMitch

4:26 am

4:39 am

Barry Humphries created his character Edna Everage (Average) being an average Australian working class housewife from Moonee Ponds here in Victoria. Over the years as 'she' has become better travelled and very well known, esp in UK, she has become more extreme and also was made a dame. O am surprised you haven't seen here in the US, she was even in the Aly McBeal for quite a few episodes - perhaps you thought she was a woman!

7:08 am

Uneaixoise

and he/she's done several one man/woman shows on Broadway!

9:43 am

I have the 5,12 for hues, tint, but I am missing the 5,14 and 5,16 after it and cannot find them

9:44 am

Anniebrook

mudd, past tense of loving sounds (think doves)

9:44 am

Mudd

Ah, thank you much

9:44 am

Anniebrook

co 5/16---dove sounds and you see with your **es

9:44 am

Anniebrook

dove sound not sounds

9:45 am

Mudd

I don't know what is with my brain today; I didn't take a tylenol pm last night or anything.

9:45 am

Mudd

Sometimes I think it simply shuts down with short grids.

9:45 am

Anniebrook

co 5/16 --dove sound and you see with your **es

9:46 am

Mudd

Of course, once I got the co 5,16 from your clues, the 7 was a cinch.

9:46 am

Anniebrook

oh good! not I am really gone.

9:47 am

Mudd

So did you put a load of laundry in and return to chat with us some more?

9:50 am

Mudd

The four last cy words were new to me.

9:51 am

meliae

~ Firewords ~ finally, what an onery little grid

9:53 am

lbdawger

i think we should get extra points when a babbler's handle is in the grid!

9:53 am

lbdawger

whoooo hooooo MEL!!

9:53 am

Mudd

Wtg Meliae

9:54 am

Mudd

I agree ibdawger ... mine has been here a time or two

9:55 am

meliae

thank you, I am here back and forth checking e-mails and getting some breakfast made

10:02 am

Mudd

Suddenly the chatter stopped. I was on the phone ... usually buried in the grid, but not this time.

10:02 am

Mudd

I'm plodding along and have finished the a,b,c,d, words.

10:04 am

Mudd

Some of these words are an absolute hoot. That generally happens with shorter grids. I miss the s, n, and t.

10:05 am

meliae

there are some very strange words in the grid today but luckily the placement of the key higher tiles helped with the monkeying, at least for me it did

10:06 am

Mudd

Oh for sure that's true. Many times they are the ones that get me through. Just like that and I am up to the 'l' words.

10:07 am

Marc Freeman

need a clue for my7, please?

10:08 am

Mudd

I'm in the l words, not that far yet Marc. Maybe later if you still need it.

10:10 am

I'm anxious to get to the my and check out those good clues. Thanx in advance.

10:13 am

Hi Harpjane, having my harp regulated next week and all new strings. Quite expensive. Hope I can keep it in tune then.

10:19 am

Mudd

There's no i in my daughter Marcy's name. The fifth letter is a different vowel.

10:19 am

Marc Freeman

Does the my6 work of the 7 or is it completely different

10:20 am

Mudd

You drop the final vowel of the my 6 and change it to two different vowels.

10:20 am

Mudd

My + first three letters of minute part of body, then two vowels.

10:21 am

rururocks

co 6/24?? anyone

10:21 am

Mudd

Build on the co 4,6 a bit above it and add two more vowels. It ends in three vowels altogether.

10:21 am

meliae

add to vowels to the 4/6 Ruru

10:22 am

rururocks

thank you

10:22 am

Marc Freeman

Mudd that would be 7 letters not 6

10:23 am

Mudd

Yes, that is for the my 7. The six has a different vowel than the final two for my 7. Drop two off the my 7 and make a different vowel there.

10:23 am

lbdawger

my6 is my + long stick like veggie grows in bunches---carrot and ****ry sticks

10:24 am

Dorens

11:50 am

BabbleRabble

Each day brings us closer to spring

11:52 am

BabbleRabble

Not so hot, actually. Have been trying different meds and different dosages. I think I was better off before the changes .... but who knows how it will eventually sort out?

11:52 am

Dorens

ahh, sorry to hear this. you bring so much comfort to others here; wish we could be of help to you.

11:54 am

BabbleRabble

It is just a process that must be traversed. Thank you for the kind words. You have been a wonderful friend.

Two very sad sights in Marks and Spencer's today. 1. Valentine's flowers at half price (looking a bit droopy) 2. A sign indicating a bargain in HOISERY. I took a photo with my phone camera but have no clue how to download it. You'll have to take my word for it.

12:00 pm

Dorens

hoisery half sale... understandable

12:00 pm

Hello! We're looking more springlike here as well.

12:02 pm

Dorens

ah, well we had four - five inches of snow here yesterday, and last night it got very cold so all the wet roads turned to ice. still below freezing now at 1 pm. not quite springlike

12:02 pm

Haz1558

Snow is bad enough, ice is so treacherous.

12:03 pm

Dorens

lots of accidents on the road this morning - glad we had delayed school opening

BabbleRabble

Thank you, caitlyn. Hello, folks

12:08 pm

Haz1558

Any news on the wedding front, EvaN? I watched a bit of Bridezillas the other day and concluded that those girls were either acting or they should have felt the weight of their mother's hands a lot more often than they had done.

12:09 pm

Haz1558

Hello, BabbleRabble.

hi crossy and caitlin and haz

12:10 pm

Queenruejean

She waited periodic tables.

12:10 pm

Soodlebum

Bottle of Merlot
A man asked a waiter to take a bottle of Merlot to an unusually
attractive woman sitting alone at a table in a cozy little restaurant.
So the waiter took the Merlot to the woman and said, 'This is from the
gentleman who is seated over there,' and indicated the sender with a nod
of his head.
She stared at the wine coolly for a few seconds, not looking at the man,
then decided to send a reply to him by a note.
The waiter, who was lingering nearby for a response, took the note from
her and conveyed it to the gentleman.

The note read: 'For me to accept this bottle, you need to have a
Mercedes in your garage, a million dollars in the bank and '7' inches in
your pants'.

After reading the note, the man decided to compose one of his own in
return. He folded the note, handed it to the waiter and instructed him
to deliver it to the lady.

It read:
'Just to let you know things aren't always what they appear to be: I
have a Ferrari Maranello, BMW Z8, Mercedes CL600, and a Porsche Turbo in
my several garages; I have beautiful homes in Aspen and Miami , and a
10,000 acre ranch in Louisiana . There is over billion dollars in my
bank account and portfolio. But, not even for a woman as beautiful as
you, would I cut off three inches. Just send the wine back....

5:33 pm

5:34 pm

scrabs may i beg you rindulgence and talk shop a minute, since I am supposed to be treating with OTC meds?

6:54 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, of course, Owl

6:54 pm

wht

OK. The other co4 is the fiber from a coconut husk.

6:54 pm

jillibus

coconut fibre, wht

6:54 pm

wht

Thanks, Jilli, I just looked it up.

6:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

dr. orig said claritan and sudafed and mucinex. pharmacist said mucinex is only for chest congestion

6:54 pm

wht

I thought it was a misspelled singing group

6:55 pm

jillibus

knowing enable, it might well have been :-/

6:56 pm

suefrad625

I like to drink co4

6:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

the long shot is i have awful PND and she said no antibiotics - which of those will help?

6:56 pm

Scrabbler

OTC cold/cough meds = ineffective meds. I would never spend money on them. Also, adverse effects = increased heart rate + BP, nervous system stimulant

6:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

go figure. i think she is whack.

6:56 pm

Scrabbler

I would do saline spray to irrigate nose/sinuses; vaporizer or hot showers

6:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

have done those

6:57 pm

Barb's Horses

Phew...got my bees finally

6:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

time was i would get antibiotics and it would begin to improve in three -4 days.

6:57 pm

Scrabbler

OTC cold/cough meds = worse than placebo as they are not harmless. In Oct 2008 they were banned for kids under 4 yrs and the American Academy of Pediatrics is pushing FDA to ban them for kids under 12.

6:58 pm

wht

Way to Go Monkeys, they played with matches and got fireworks.

6:58 pm

redturtlehead

I find when used properl that OTC meds help me when I actually have a cold. not think I have one.

6:58 pm

redturtlehead

COngratulations WHT!

6:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

i know, my cousin had liver muisfunction but this dr said it was from combined acetominophen.

6:58 pm

stidmama

hello all ((cousin)) is your migraine better?

6:58 pm

Scrabbler

A normal co4, which medically = viral sinusitis, will last 10-14 d. Antibiotics should not be used before that.

6:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think it is a sinuc infection at this point, which i was trying to head off

6:58 pm

jillibus

YAY wht!!!

6:59 pm

Barb's Horses

hello stid

6:59 pm

redturtlehead

cold is not in the grid Scrabbs.

6:59 pm

stidmama

YAY wht, btw

6:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok then it is a bit more than 1 week.

6:59 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Stid--it was gone by Monday night.

6:59 pm

stidmama

good. migraines = sucky days

6:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

SO before i starve to death, what can i take for PND?

6:59 pm

stidmama

how's this grid?

6:59 pm

jillibus

hi stid

6:59 pm

redturtlehead

I am surprised that we all had migraines on the same day!!!!

6:59 pm

wht

Maybe she thought it was a mild cold.

6:59 pm

Scrabbler

Be patient, Owl, and let your body (immune system) take care of things. Have faith in your army!

7:00 pm

wht

It is small but nasty. Too many vowels

7:00 pm

jillibus

I thought it was doable with help, stid -- some weirdos, of course

7:00 pm

Scrabbler

I wouldn't take anything, Owl. Irrigate, blow, cough, spit

7:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

no i must stop this symptom. whit i don't go to the doctor for a cold.

7:00 pm

redturtlehead

I am pleased to be over half way and can not decide what to eat. I gave up take out pizza for lent, and its killing me.

7:00 pm

stidmama

well, I will play for about ten minutes, then dive into this paper.

7:01 pm

Scrabbler

A cold is a sinus infection, but viral, thus antibiotics will not help.

7:01 pm

stidmama

the words are weirdos, jill -- or the helpers? *wicked mama grin*

7:01 pm

Scrabbler

Poor red

7:01 pm

I can't even monotask tonight!!! I feel like I am trying to revisit last week's migraine, and I still don't have the refill on the meds. *sigh* any ideas, cousin?

7:09 pm

JBV

we all do it, it's just not very satisfying or even effective most of the time

7:09 pm

Scrabbler

Well, multitasking can lead to inattention.

7:09 pm

Barb's Horses

hmmm missing one of the e's

7:10 pm

jillibus

which ones do you have, barb? And aren't you using Lickety's list?

7:10 pm

Scrabbler

You have another migraine starting? I take 440 mg of naproxen at onset and that works 80% of the time, in terms of aborting the episode

7:10 pm

Barb's Horses

yeah got it woo hoo

7:10 pm

stidmama

thanks Scrabs. *hollers for kid*

7:10 pm

Barb's Horses

i am...but i must of typed wrong

7:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry for those with migraines

7:11 pm

wht

ed5, el4, el6 em5x2, em3, ey4

7:11 pm

Scrabbler

That works for ME, Stid.

7:11 pm

stidmama

it's better than nothing, which was my other option.

7:12 pm

Scrabbler

Other people take a triptan

7:12 pm

stidmama

actually, the other other option is to take excedrin which... to be honest I DO want to sleep tonight!

7:12 pm

wht

Make that an em4

7:12 pm

jillibus

I hope you're having an abortion, stid. (No, I know, not funny)

7:12 pm

stidmama

I don't have triptans... trazodone I use for sleep, but that's a different type of antidepressant I think

7:12 pm

Scrabbler

What do you usually take, Stid?

7:13 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, it is an antidepressant that is quite sedating

7:13 pm

jillibus

what happened to that old-fashioned migraine remedy -- ergotamine?

7:14 pm

Scrabbler

Triptans work better and are safer

7:14 pm

stidmama

ergotamine I had when I was in high school -- the caffeine it came with kept me up ALL NIGHT!

7:14 pm

jillibus

ugh!

7:15 pm

Scrabbler

Do you take any preventive meds or remedies, Stid? I use generic Migrelief--vit B complex, magnesium + feverfew

7:15 pm

stidmama

well, darn. stidkid#2's trombone teacher just called and canceled. He has some sort of nasty virus, poor guy.

7:16 pm

BiancaM

topamax is good for migraines

7:16 pm

BiancaM

sp?

7:16 pm

stidmama

you mentioned it last week. I don't, Scrabs, but then the migraines were almost gone until last week, after I eliminated wheat.

7:16 pm

BiancaM

but it is heavy duty

7:16 pm

stidmama

hello Bianca!

7:16 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, commonly used as prevention, but it makes some people zombies

7:16 pm

stidmama

brb

7:16 pm

BiancaM

hi stid!

7:17 pm

jillibus

hi bianca

7:17 pm

BiancaM

Some of us are zombies even without meds.

7:17 pm

Scrabbler

True, wht, I am a zombie every morning because I am not a morning person.

7:18 pm

jillibus

scrabs, how did you survive med school if you're not a morning person?

7:18 pm

jillibus

(I feel your pain)

7:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

ooh they play music while snoqwboarding or is nbc that hip?

7:19 pm

stidmama

7:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

i mean they are playing SPOON!

7:19 pm

Scrabbler

I was very driven then, and I didn't even drink coffee!

7:19 pm

stidmama

7:31 pm

JBV

the extra two days this week were fun, though, I'm on a state-level committee to review Spanish translations of the state assessments - locked in a room for two days with people just like me who enjoy laboring over nuances of word meaning, analyzing text, etc. - no kidding, it was intense but fun

7:33 pm

7:55 pm

redturtlehead

I can, but I probably would not.

7:56 pm

redturtlehead

I am a fan of Hungry Howies...and need to be less of a fan.

7:56 pm

Trifioso

we have decided here to focus on taking on new, good things, versus solely giving up things. For example, Primo is going to eat at least one serving of fresh fruit a day, I am going to exercise every day, etc.

7:56 pm

SeaSpray

good for you then

7:56 pm

SeaSpray

good idea Trif

7:56 pm

Jellen

Good idea, Trif...

8:03 pm

SeaSpray

8:04 pm

Trifioso

8:05 pm

SeaSpray

haha it is Trif, they have both worked hard at establishing careers and so now is the time

8:06 pm

Trifioso

sea spray, what kind of dog is that in your icon? A west highland terrier, maybe?

8:09 pm

SeaSpray

she was almost 17, a white himalayan and he adored her

8:13 pm

8:54 pm

Trifioso

8:55 pm

stidmama

gee TO, you're busy. well... DO take care of yourself!

8:55 pm

stidmama

that was really amazingly nifty, trifioso, but I can see how it might freak people out.

8:55 pm

stidgmere

Yes. Mummies are waaay overdone.

8:56 pm

Trifioso

talk about your "yummy mummy!"

8:56 pm

SeaSpray

lol what brought all that on anywho?

8:57 pm

stidmama

the phoenicians, I am working with a classmate to create a 30-minute mini-lesson for 6th graders (potentially) as part of my master's program.

8:57 pm

SeaSpray

9:00 pm

Trifioso

i think so, yes, but not sure....

9:00 pm

I think it would make a good intro to the era and provide a few words and ideas to support further learning and discussion.

9:01 pm

stidmama

if I can "clobber" an opponent, why not CLOB?

9:01 pm

timnjoplin

oh, Pooh! It's jellen...

9:01 pm

9:02 pm

9:08 pm

Trifioso

tee hee

9:10 pm

Trifioso

oh, off topic, but I am going to forget - I haven't seen the movie, so I can't say, but Shutter Island was an AMAZING book - I highly recommend it.

9:10 pm

jillibus

in that cold weather it would have to be a very mini flag

9:11 pm
