...of people and things...

2:22 am

Haz1558

There are places I remember all my life,
Though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain.
All these places have their moments
Of lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I loved them all.

And with all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these mem'ries lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
And I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them.
In my life I loved you more.

And I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them.
In my life I loved you more
In my life I loved you more

2:22 am

2:25 am

Hello spritey sprite and Haz and Katie and lynxx and sandy and all.

2:27 am

FMitch

Been watering and tying up rambling roses and supervising the birds and ... *happy sigh*

2:28 am

sprite

we used to canoe a lot before I went into bad mode, sandy. In open canoes. We were out for maybe an hour and I loved it. Birds on the water, peace and quiet, lots of tiny little ducklings. And Terra on my lap, making it hard to paddle but easy to smile!

2:28 am

sandyloo

a fly is on the screen, I'm trying to poke it with the little arrow

2:28 am

Haz1558

Supervising the birds? Do you do nest inspections and things?

2:28 am

sprite

silly sandy :D

2:28 am

FMitch

lol sandy

2:28 am

sandyloo

Glad Mitch is relaxing after her energetic week (you know what I mean) Those thongs can take it out of you!

2:29 am

sprite

oh did FM do the thong song?

2:29 am

FMitch

ha ha Haz, I am trying to get them to queue up in an orderly manner for morning bath time but they just won't co-operate.

2:29 am

shealeigh

I have 3 of the co 6's but am missing a 4th..help!

2:29 am

Haz1558

They can't be British birds, FM. British birds would know how to queue.

2:30 am

sprite

good grief shealeigh, you are going strong! I only have the 2 mentioned earlier.

2:30 am

sandyloo

We had a canoe at one stage - I like canoeing too Sprite and I know what you mean about the peacefulness

2:30 am

FMitch

sandy is just teasing me (again).

2:30 am

sprite

sandy? Teasing? You must be mistaken, surely.

2:30 am

sandyloo

I never tease

2:30 am

FMitch

This is the strangest gid for wierd words that I have seen in ages.

2:31 am

ChrissieDee

I have a 3rd co6 - co**mn + opp of stay

2:31 am

Haz1558

It's certainly a contrast to yesterday's, that's for sure.

2:31 am

sprite

isn't it just.

2:31 am

sandyloo

Remember the quote by Gertrude in Hamlet "Methinks the lady doth protest too much"

2:31 am

FMitch

My inability to spell helped greatly, that and my monkeys.

2:31 am

sprite

thanks for that one, Chrissie, new for me!

2:32 am

sprite

brilliant line, isn't it sandy.

2:32 am

ChrissieDee

me too sprite, it was in the chog earlier

2:32 am

sandyloo

I love shakesphere - every line is brilliant

2:33 am

sprite

hey that is funny. A co6 (as clued by Chrissie) is a flying le5.

2:34 am

FMitch

and I guess that le5's have fe5's too.

2:34 am

sprite

cool, thanks FM :)

2:34 am

FMitch

ah good that is the 4th co6 then. Thanks.

2:40 am

sandyloo

The snaky one is better for slapping though, FM.

2:40 am

ChrissieDee

ty lynx

2:40 am

sprite

24 left here. You can do better, sandy.

2:41 am

FMitch

*slaps spritey with the snakey one as she is being so clever* :))

2:41 am

sprite

lollllllllllllll

2:41 am

sandyloo

LOL sprite, you must have been cooking dinner, going canoeing, washing the dog in between doing the grid for you not to have finished

2:41 am

sandyloo

that fly is back, i'm poking it again

2:42 am

sprite

so little respect for my hard work at the grids...

2:42 am

FMitch

none left here *uses some of Atas smugness that she left lying around in the PB* Mind you I have been up since 5.30 Le sigh :(

2:42 am

sprite

wtg FM on finishing, and blegh on being up so very very early.

2:43 am

sandyloo

this morning we had the window blind down and it was very dark and I didn't wake up til 9.30am - usually get up at 7

2:43 am

FMitch

It seems to be the time of choice that my body wants to wake up - the mind follows about an hour later.

2:43 am

Haz1558

It's those birds. Dawn ablutions are to be abhorred.

2:43 am

sandyloo

horses were grumpy for their feeds

2:43 am

sprite

ear plugs. Did I mention ear plugs?

2:44 am

FMitch

Oh sandy, can't remember the last time I slep in until anything after 8.30.

LOL Haz

2:45 am

sandyloo

me neither Mitch, I was shocked, I couldn't believe it- I guess I needed the sleep

2:45 am

sprite

sleeping in, neglecting the horses, being slow with the grid... what's with you today, sandy? Need another session with the snaky ones?

2:45 am

sandyloo

Snaky ones??

2:46 am

sprite

yeah the snakelike fish

2:46 am

FMitch

*snort* not going to type what I was thinking re yr post sprite.

2:46 am

sandyloo

sprite

*grin* too bad, FM, I'd love to know!

2:47 am

2:48 am

2:50 am

Sally-catlover

FM, was reading back in the chog about your morning excursions. Had to get up very early this morning because I have a new hen settling in, and sat in the chicken run from 6am to 7am. Was glorious! Wall to wall bird song.

2:50 am

shealeigh

My LAST word is not in the dictionary, is NOT in Morewords and I am totally stumped...The puzzle is not solvable!!!!

2:51 am

sandyloo

lovely sally - we have chooks also

2:51 am

sprite

Sally, why do new hens need hensitting? (never had chickens, so very curious)

2:51 am

Sally-catlover

I am not often up that early but it's wonderful in the countryside.

2:51 am

FMitch

How splendid Sally, I love the first visit to my garden each morming to see what the day holds.

2:51 am

sandyloo

the others sometimes peck the new one Sprite

2:51 am

sprite

which starting letter and length, shealeigh?

2:51 am

Sally-catlover

lol, sprite. It was a new one I introduced last night and just had to make sure she wasn't being attacked.

2:52 am

sprite

oh I see, pecking order not yet established. That makes sense, thanks.

2:52 am

sandyloo

2:52 am

sandyloo

Nicky is harrassing me

2:52 am

Sally-catlover

Absolutely right sprite.

2:52 am

2:52 am

Sally-catlover

You need to establish the pecking order sandy :-)

2:53 am

2:53 am

sprite

Congrats shealeigh

2:53 am

Congrats Shealeigh

2:53 am

2:53 am

sprite

small grids are often nasty. Sleep well!

2:53 am

Sally-catlover

You got that elusive last word then shealeigh! I'm not evey half way yet.

2:54 am

shealeigh

the word wasd not elusive at all- I just had the wrong letter count on it! How dumb of me!

2:54 am

sprite

6s all found :D

2:54 am

FMitch

There are some real doozys Sall inc the xy5/26

2:54 am

FMitch

Actuall there are more wierd words than normal ones today, not to put you off or anything.

2:55 am

Sally-catlover

There's an xy?! Haven't listed yet.

2:55 am

shealeigh

I will count normal vs. odd for you....hang on....

2:55 am

sprite

am not using the list yet, but have opened a2z

2:55 am

sandyloo

and a yl -

2:55 am

sandyloo

dont have the yl yet

2:55 am

FMitch

yup, I wilted when I say someone mention it earlier today as the only xy I could think of was xylophone.

2:55 am

Sally-catlover

I did find yesterday's very long!

2:56 am

sprite

we have had that x and y words in grids before

2:56 am

sandyloo

I remember a 600 grid

2:56 am

FMitch

YEsterdays v todays grid - the sublime to the rediculous.

2:56 am

shealeigh

Actually, there are only *30* weird words- the rest are just hard to find....

2:57 am

sprite

loved yesterday's. 81 Hs and all normal words.

2:57 am

sprite

lol shealeigh

2:57 am

sandyloo

595 (tendancy to exagerate)

2:58 am

shealeigh

Well, nitey-nite....see you all tomorrow...same flip time, same flip station....

2:58 am

Sally-catlover

Now if only you'd clued the xy as "a compound tissue in vascular plants that helps provide support and that conducts water and nutrients upward from the roots, consisting of tracheids, vessels, parenchyma cells, and woody fibers" I'd have got it in an instant

2:58 am

sprite

sleep well shealeigh

2:58 am

Sally-catlover

ty sprite *looking*

3:04 am

Sally-catlover

Got it!

3:04 am

sprite

yay :)

3:05 am

Sally-catlover

I do like clues which make me think, and give the meaning, rather than spelling the word out practically :-)

3:06 am

sprite

oh yes so do I. But sometimes it is hard to think of a good clue, for me anyway.

3:07 am

sprite

fireflies! Demanding grid. But wonderful company. Anything I can help with before I go?

3:08 am

Sally-catlover

No thanks sprite, but congrats as always. Just quietly chuntering on here.

3:08 am

sprite

good feeling, chuntering on. Good luck Sally, and thanks. See you soon!

3:09 am

Sally-catlover

bye sprite

3:32 am

Sally-catlover

Got there finally, so I'm off too. May pop back later to chat.

3:42 am

Douglas

Chuntering on? You do and you'll clean it up!

3:43 am

Sally-catlover

lol, stil had chog open Douglas. Different meaning in USA?

3:45 am

Douglas

That's a new word to me. Meaning "patiently soldering on, even though one isn't nearly as clever as sprite?"

3:47 am

Douglas

Not that there's anything wrong with that. Most people aren't nearly as clever at Babble as sprite

3:49 am

Sally-catlover

I think uou meant soldiering, not soldering! Yes, that's what it means. Nice word, isn't it, but probably not in Enable.

5:45 am

movieman

One, two.......Freddy's coming for you!!!!!

5:50 am

JBV

hi movieman - quiet here today

5:50 am

JBV

i'm down to my last 6

Certainly am Mitch........go go Blues!!!!!

5:55 am

Scrabbler

Good morning everyone. 74 words! On a weekend day?

5:55 am

FMitch

Fingers crossed mm, but can't help feeling for Portsmouth.

5:55 am

FMitch

Morning Scrabs - it has bite and some strange words even for enable.

5:56 am

Scrabbler

These small grids always introduce me to new words.

5:57 am

JBV

hi scrabbler

5:57 am

Scrabbler

How are you, JBV?

5:58 am

JBV

ok, scrabs, counting down the days to retirement

5:58 am

JBV

how about you, you had a tooth extracted?

5:59 am

FMitch

Oh wow, wtg JBV, what plans do you have?

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Really? When is your last day? And then what?

6:00 am

JBV

yes, I decided, July 1 - then a little breathing room before I make any decisions or commitments -

6:00 am

JBV

plan #1 - relax, plan #2, make a list of things to do,

6:00 am

FMitch

How great!

6:00 am

JBV

plan # 3 - think about the list.....

6:00 am

JBV

etc.

6:00 am

Nancy Boy

hi, all :) congratulations, JBV! sounds great..

6:00 am

Scrabbler

Nope, tooth will be saved, I hope. 2 small cracks were seen--caused pulpitis + dying nerve. Part 1 of root canal procedure was 5/7, part 2 is 5/18. I had intense pain for a few days before and after.

6:00 am

JBV

hi Nancy Boy!

6:01 am

JBV

job is quite stressful, and I am needed at home, so it was an easy decision

6:01 am

Scrabbler

Wow, JBV!

6:01 am

Scrabbler

Hi NB! How are you doing?

6:01 am

JBV

oh, sorry to hear about the pain but glad the tooth can be saved

6:01 am

FMitch

Hi NB

6:02 am

Nancy Boy

hi, Scrabbs! I'm great thanks - exhausted after last night, though. Friday I have back to back shifts...I'm getting jealous of JBV ;)

6:02 am

Nancy Boy

hi, FM! :)

6:03 am

JBV

no jealousy allowed - youth is its own reward -

6:03 am

Scrabbler

I am not sure if I will ever retire. I work part-time as it is and have a nice schedule.

6:03 am

Scrabbler

I am on call--started yesterday at 5 and ends Monday at 8.

6:03 am

Nancy Boy

so they say, JBV ;)

6:03 am

JBV

part-time is great - I may be able to pick up some work on a consulting basis if I feel I need the income, but right now I just want the free time

6:04 am

Haz1558

I can vouch for the joy of maternity leave. I'm entering my 27th year and haven't tired of it.

6:04 am

FMitch

lol Haz

6:05 am

Haz1558

I'm easing myself towards retirement.

6:05 am

JBV

great, Haz!

6:05 am

FMitch

I really only work part time now since I moved and it is utter bliss.

6:07 am

JBV

I started working (summers) when I was 12, full time at 21, two years off with baby, so adding it all up, it's a long stretch

6:07 am

Nancy Boy

sounds it FM - I don't think there's any greater joy than waking up and knowing the day is yours!

6:08 am

JBV

I think I won't feel it until September when everyone is going back to school and I'm at home playing Babble!

6:08 am

FMitch

But I have put in my years of work to get to this point NB so never be complacent :)

6:09 am

JFB

I retired in March and now just do sick and holiday cover - best job I've ever had!!

haha...I don't have the time to be complacent ;)

FMitch

Hi JFB

6:10 am

JBV

I agree, FMitch, my father used to tell me the story of the Ant and the Grasshopper, comes back to me now, the wisdom of the fables - work does pay off in the end

6:11 am

JBV

hi JFB -

6:11 am

JBV

the J twins are here - I'm sure we will confuse everone :)

6:12 am

Scrabbler

Hi Haz & JFB

6:12 am

Haz1558

Hello, Scrabbler.

6:13 am

Nancy Boy

Scrabbs, just scrolled back - that business with your teeth sounds eye-wateringly painful. Better now, I hope?!

6:16 am

Scrabbler

It was quite painful for 3 days before + 3 days after the procedure. At times I was shaking + ready to puke. I almost finished off 2 bottles of pain meds in those days.

6:16 am

Scrabbler

Well, I found 14 words and am stuck.

6:17 am

Nancy Boy

oh my god, that sounds awful :( I sincerely hope you're on the mend now...don't like thinking of people in that sort of pain!

6:17 am

FMitch

Tum is rumbling, time for lunch so back in a bit.

6:17 am

Scrabbler

It made me appreciate what people with chronic pain issues endure.

6:17 am

Scrabbler

Bye FM

6:18 am

Nancy Boy

I guess what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, huh?

6:19 am

Scrabbler

Pain & challenges reveal our strength.

6:19 am

JBV

that's awful, scrabs, sorry to hear you had to go through that

6:20 am

Scrabbler

It's "just a tooth." A short-term issue...that will cost $2300. That is the other pain.

6:20 am

Nancy Boy

quite! hmmm...guess I'd better go get up and go to work. They won't be impressed with my morning hair ;) see you later, all!

6:20 am

JBV

scrabs, we have been living with hubby's chronic pain(s) for a while and it is truly amazing how he copes and carries on - amazing inner resources

6:21 am

Scrabbler

Bye NB. Get that hair looking gorgeous!

6:21 am

JBV

bye, NB!

6:21 am

featherbee

oh, little one!

6:21 am

Scrabbler

JBV, that is exactly what I thought of--some people endure chronic severe pain, and it is distracting, agitating, + exhausting.

6:21 am

Nancy Boy

*performs shampoo-advert hair-flick for Scrabbler's benefit*

6:22 am

Scrabbler

Hi Feather! I am up to 22--toughie as usual for small grids.

6:22 am

featherbee

oh boy

6:22 am

JBV

just got fireworks!

6:22 am

Scrabbler

Woo hoo, JBV!!

6:23 am

featherbee

must go get food. very non-functioning right now.

6:23 am

JBV

but it's also true that if you can distract yourself with other things, you can forget about the pain for a while - that's his way, to not focus on feeling bad, but just pretend that life is normal

6:24 am

Scrabbler

I must get ready for work--must see a 3 yr old in the hospital on the way to the office to work from 8-12. Kid will probably go home--was dehydrated.

6:24 am

Scrabbler

I did become somewhat accustomed to it, JBV, but it saps one's energy.

6:24 am

JBV

that's nice scrabs, he's probably all rosy and smiley toda

6:25 am

JBV

today

6:25 am

Scrabbler

Yep, I should be able to send him home this morning.

6:26 am

Scrabbler

At 26/48 I must move on. Enjoy the day all!

6:26 am

JBV

bye scrabs

FMitch

Morning Mom, slightly overdid the pepper but it was scrummy.

6:58 am

Mom

6:59 am

FMitch

pork, either with veg and new potatoes or with rice and sweet and sour sauce - haven't decided yet and 2nd course will be in an hour or so at the earliest.

FMitch

7:44 am

Anniebrook

hello everyone

7:44 am

Anniebrook

weed, what is flylady?

7:44 am

featherbee

I'm a little panicky about my project, I messed up when creating it and put the expiration date for sept. 28th, which means that i won't likely get any funds from "strangers" until september. which means i won't complete it for this group of kids. so i'm trying to promote it a lot.

7:45 am

featherbee

www.flylady.net it's a system for organizing and cleaning and keeping on top of the clutter in your house

7:46 am

Anniebrook

feather, I tried to open your site and it would not open...how can I get an address?

7:46 am

featherbee

that tinyurl didn't work?

7:47 am

redturtlehead

Oh lordy Hi all. I hate FLylady!

7:47 am

redturtlehead

I like the systems, but I have a hard time with her saccharine sounding sort of condescending tone.

7:47 am

featherbee

i like some of the "tricks" in it. still will use a timer to motivate myself!

7:47 am

Anniebrook

will try again---be right back...If I am on Babble Expert I can open it---be right back...I am so computer illiterate

7:47 am

Mom

7:48 am

featherbee

ahhh, lol. i ignore that. also, never ever opt in for the emails, or you'll have a whole new kind of clutter in your email box!

7:48 am

redturtlehead

the systems are excellent.

7:48 am

redturtlehead

I really did have trouble with the volume of emails. especially the ones that would be asking if I was wearing shoes...or in bed yet.

7:48 am

featherbee

7:49 am

redturtlehead

7:49 am

featherbee

7:50 am

redturtlehead

7:51 am

Anniebrook

feather, nope, I cant open it...it is me..not the system...It is http://bit.ly/6LUg8...is it not?

7:51 am

featherbee

one inmate let himself out on early parole, so is now back in the clink, with time added for some major attitude. the other inmate helped himself to a lollipop he found in his room and is very happy.

9:43 am

smooth_pappa

canon has got a lens that just makes me drool little bit. It's so expensive, and I wouldn't use it nearly enough to justify the expense, but its a 5:1 macr lens

9:43 am

evanonut

wtf is a glomp?

9:45 am

Atalante

it's a *glomp*!

9:45 am

evanonut

a glomp sounds like a lump of goo

9:46 am

Atalante

would I stick glue all over you? *gasp*

9:46 am

Atalante

goo even!

9:46 am

evanonut

yes...i think you would!

9:47 am

Atalante

true :D

9:47 am

Atalante

v, to glomp NOT sexual, it is the action of one person lovingly (and dramatically) attacking another with a hug.

9:48 am

evanonut

how did glomp go sexual already. did the grid corrupt it?

9:48 am

Atalante

loool no idea. probably the or4

9:49 am

I am under the front trees watching the birds visit the 7 feeders. A tufted titmouse was just staring at me 6 ft away.

1:17 pm

bojazz

idylic, scrabs

1:18 pm

Hi Bo. Yes, I wish it were warmer--63, sun peeking in and out. So I am sipping hot tea.

Sounds lovely..

1:18 pm

1:19 pm

hi Judi

1:20 pm

Scrabbler

I saw my 1st hummingbird of the season--heard him first, then found him--sitting on a branch, staring at me as if to say, "Uh, I'm here, where is my feeder?" I went inside, made the sugar solution + hung up the feeder--waiting for his return.

1:20 pm

Scrabbler

And I have found just 28 words--very tough grid.

1:20 pm

Scrabbler

Wow, Bo--hot day!

1:20 pm

Judi

You seem to have several birds staring pointedly at you, Scrabbs. Very soon little tiny bricks will start to rain on your head from the branches above.

1:21 pm

Judi

Hey, Bo!

1:21 pm

Scrabbler

They may conspire against me, especially if they don't have enough food.

1:34 pm

Scrabbler

Yesterday was a bit scarier than I prefer--some big waves/rapids and a near-capsize.

1:35 pm

redturtlehead

I would have been terrified, I am not much of a boater of any kind.

1:36 pm

Scrabbler

I had to watch for rocks/boulders and to keep the kayak perpendicular to waves + water flow.

1:36 pm

Scrabbler

My Adirondack baseball cap flew off and was gobbled up by the churning water. :-(

1:36 pm

redturtlehead

good thing you were able to navigate everything safely!

1:38 pm

1:57 pm

Scrabbler

Grr, I thought that was a phantom, like tart and tarty. TY

1:57 pm

Scrabbler

Of course, Jacq.

1:58 pm

jacq

what is the recovery time for a double mastectomy and reconstruction? and what levels of pain are involved

1:59 pm

Scrabbler

Well, I am a pediatrician, Jacq, but I would estimate 6-8 wks for most major operations. And much better after 2-3 wks.

2:00 pm

jacq

well enough to look after a 3 year old alone?

2:00 pm

Scrabbler

Not for the first 2-3 wks.

2:00 pm

jacq

ok ty dear

2:01 pm

Scrabbler

Toddlers + preschoolers are quite demanding and need close supervision + assistance.

2:02 pm

jacq

nods, she is demanding and likes cuddles

2:02 pm

pugmama763

I was told reconstruction was done as a seperate procedure

2:02 pm

jacq

no this will be done at the same time

2:02 pm

pugmama763

afer healing from the 1st

2:02 pm

Scrabbler

And little kids need to be lifted + carried a lot.

2:02 pm

Boobear

hi Pug

2:02 pm

pugmama763

hi

2:02 pm

Scrabbler

My friend had both 2 mo ago.

2:03 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Pugmama

2:03 pm

jacq

at the same time?

2:03 pm

pugmama763

guess it depends on the doctor

2:03 pm

jacq

how was she?

2:04 pm

Scrabbler

My friend had a simple mastectomy (skin left on breast), nodes dissected in axilla, and reconstruction begun.

2:04 pm

jacq

it maybe depends on the type of surgery

2:04 pm

Scrabbler

She went back to work in 2 wks and her kids are 16, 13, 10 + 8.

2:04 pm

jacq

mine is bilateral, skin and nipple saving with nodes removed

2:05 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, honey, this is you we are discussing?

2:05 pm

jacq

yes

2:05 pm

pugmama763

oh dear so sorry to hear that

2:05 pm

jacq

it's prophylactic

2:06 pm

jacq

i'm only worried about the pain afterwards

2:06 pm

Scrabbler

((Jacq))--now I am crying. When is surgery?

2:06 pm

pugmama763

might be in my future as well ,I understand...

2:06 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, no cancer? Phew! BRCA (+)?

2:06 pm

jacq

please don't get upset, it isn't a bad thing, after this i won't have to worry about anything

2:06 pm

jacq

BRCA?

2:07 pm

Scrabbler

Pugmama, have you been treated for breast cancer in past?

2:07 pm

jacq

i have clusters of fibroadenoma thats all

2:07 pm

pugmama763

thats the gene test right ?

2:07 pm

Scrabbler

Gene that has been identified in women with strong family history of breast (and ovarian) cancer.

2:07 pm

jacq

have to go eat something will be back later, please don't worry it is a blessing

2:08 pm

Scrabbler

Bye Jacq

2:08 pm

jacq

hugs all round and thank you for the advice

2:08 pm

pugmama763

no but many cysts removed they didnt like the looks of strong family history both sides & Ashkenazi heritage

2:09 pm

Scrabbler

Aha. Did you have gene testing?

2:09 pm

pugmama763

Dr wanted me to have the gene test but I wasn't cover & couldn't afford it but I will be able to very soon

2:10 pm

pugmama763

very costly

2:10 pm

Scrabbler

Is there a cancer center near you?

2:10 pm

pugmama763

not really sure

2:10 pm

Boobear

clue for co 6/30 pls

2:11 pm

Scrabbler

The last co6/30 = feline or older woman preying on younger male

2:12 pm

pugmama763

Cancer Treatment centers of America have one in Philly but thats quite a hike from here

2:13 pm

Scrabbler

Pugmama, I saw where you live--consider major medical ctr in Philly, or Memorial Sloan Kettering in NYC, for expert advice + care.

2:14 pm

pugmama763

If I got a positive on the gene test you bet I will!!!

2:15 pm

pugmama763

but will wait til I have the $ and get the test B4 I worry too much

2:15 pm

stidmama

hey scrabs. spent a few hours in the ER last night with the stidkid who gets MRSA... cellulitis on his face. *sigh* glad I checked on him before I went to sleep at midnight -- what looked like a manageable problem at 9 had gotten worse fast.

2:15 pm

stidmama

gene test? are you ill pugmama? *scans chog*

2:16 pm

pugmama763

we were talking of breast cancer risk

2:16 pm

stidmama

oh golly. (pugmama) (jacq)

2:16 pm

Scrabbler

Hasn't he had MRSA infections before? Those abscesses can develop quickly--drainage is key.

2:16 pm

pugmama763

heavily pissed in gene pool here

2:16 pm

stidmama

it's worrisome. I have a mammogram scheduled for the first monday in June... I get lumps too. So far, nothing cancerous though.

2:17 pm

stidmama

yes, he has had MRSA before. Scars left behind, too. I am just glad this was on his face where it was visible. Otherwise, he wouldn't have noticed it.

2:17 pm

pugmama763

was SO carefull getting regular mamos but the cysts only show up on MRI & ultra sounds

2:18 pm

stidmama

Bactrim ordered by the ER doc; will followup Monday with regular doc. Not like I had anything else to do, right?

2:18 pm

stidmama

They usually do ultrasound on me, too. Just to be on the safe side. Personally, I'd rather they started with that -- mammograms HURT.

2:18 pm

pugmama763

what a shame Stid

2:19 pm

Daily Dog

I'm done. Very fist time every I finish a puzzle.

2:19 pm

stidmama

anyway... when I get back from a visit with Mother, will this grid be a welcome relief from grading papers and writing other papers?

2:19 pm

stidmama

YAY Dog!!!!

2:19 pm

pugmama763

less traumatic than a girl with facial scarring however-men are just not judged by looks as much

2:20 pm

Scrabbler

Yay DD!!!! Isn't it exciting?!

2:20 pm

Scrabbler

Is abscess draining yet, Stid? Antibiotic will not penetrate abscess.

2:20 pm

stidmama

That's true pugmama -- I am hopeful that we can avoid big scars this time -- it's on the cheekbone under the eye. But it's not a big deal really if there is one.

2:20 pm

pugmama763

yahoo Dag!

2:21 pm

Scrabbler

Apply hot compresses often.

2:21 pm

stidmama

No abcess, Scrabs. just cellulitis.

2:21 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, MRSA usually causes abscesses--boils.

2:21 pm

stidmama

He actually put hot compresses on it once I noticed it, hoping to get an abscess, but that just seemed to spread the infection.

2:22 pm

pugmama763

OY !

2:22 pm

Scrabbler

Is acne triggering this?

2:22 pm

stidmama

ah well. Kids. I am really learning a lot. And yes, I think acne was the start here, I noticed him playing with a pimple in that area a few days ago. He doesn't have bad acne, but it only takes one, right?

2:23 pm

Boobear

clue for co 4/7

2:23 pm

Scrabbler

Any opening in skin (pimple, burn, bug bite, scratch) = entry point for bacteria.

2:24 pm

Scrabbler

I need it too, Boo
'

2:24 pm

stidmama

anyway.... I have read him the riot act (again) about skin care, NOT trying to pop pimples, etc etc ... and taking it seriously when something is out of the ordinary.

2:24 pm

Scrabbler

Aha, co + Not telling truth = **ing.

2:24 pm

stidmama

I am so far down to 74... LOL.

2:24 pm

Scrabbler

BRB, must find snack + more tea.

2:25 pm

stidmama

Will stop hogging the chog with my mama rant. (((Hugs everone))) thanks for confirmation of this scrabs.

2:25 pm

stidmama

Will keep on keepin' on and see you again soon.

*Poof*

evening all - anyone happen to be an expert on iTunes?!

2:34 pm

DR1965

nope- sorry Nancy boy

2:34 pm

Boobear

clue for cu 4/7

2:36 pm

Nancy Boy

no problem - will try and muddle through alone ;)

2:36 pm

Ormal

cu**inate

2:36 pm

DR1965

Boo- just make a square with the grid

2:36 pm

Boobear

what's the problem,Nancy

2:37 pm

Ormal

Sorry NB, I don't know anything about it at all.

2:37 pm

Boobear

ty

2:38 pm

Nancy Boy

weeell, I just bought a new laptop, and I'd like to put all the songs from my old itunes library into THIS itunes library. impossible?!

2:39 pm

Uniquity

If you have external hard drive or jump drive you can ransfer from old lappy to new, then open iTunes and import songs.

2:39 pm

Boobear

doesn't it have something where you can import the songs

2:39 pm

Uniquity

If no external memory is available, you can transfer them over the network, provided they are sharing the same internet. This is much more slow and may involve changing some settings to share your information over the network.

2:40 pm

Nancy Boy

Uniquity...I'm far from being computer literate. Not much clue what you just said ;) should I not be able to do it by simply plugging in the ipod?

2:41 pm

Nancy Boy

that's what I thought, Boo - can't seem to find one :S

2:42 pm

Boobear

let me look on mine and see if I can help

2:42 pm

Uniquity

I don't use iPods as I haven't the inclination for brands..you might be able to though, as long as all the songs you want are on the iPod. Might depend on if it's Mac or PC though as to how you do it. Google will know though, if iPod manual doesn't.

2:43 pm

Nancy Boy

AH. I might have figured it out...

2:43 pm

Pinikula

hi all

2:43 pm

Nancy Boy

ah, so where do you find a non-branded mp3 player, Uniquity? ...make your own? ;)

2:43 pm

Uniquity

Good luck, I'm going back to my movie!

2:43 pm

Pinikula

I'd like to sync my iTouch from my laptop, too, but haven't had much success...

2:44 pm

Ormal

Hey NB...I am just thinking...couldn't you set your library up on a share thing (don't know the exact wording) and then import it from there since it's shared?

2:44 pm

Nancy Boy

I love iPods Pini, but apple don't make it easy! ;)

2:45 pm

Pinikula

no, they sure don't, NB!!!

2:46 pm

Pinikula

I know you can have your iTunes set upon on different computers (up to 5 I think), but I've not figured out to make the original upload sync with the current without losing what's on the iTouch if I d/l - make sense?

2:46 pm

Pinikula

NB...if you figure it out, plz let me know!

2:46 pm

Ormal

home sharing

2:47 pm

Pinikula

I haven't turned my desktop on since I got my laptop (last September)

2:48 pm

Nancy Boy

I'm not sure Ormal...don't know how one would go about doing that! seems to be the way though - have now googled some shady online instructions and am seeing where they lead¬

2:48 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i only need 39 more word 8-(

3:11 pm

featherbee

isn't it an italian pasta type word?

3:12 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

could be, but in english it is descriptive of a branch that has little nubs on it where smaller branches have been cut off

3:12 pm

sherb

it would be ra6, but not accepted...

3:12 pm

featherbee

ahhh

3:12 pm

3:15 pm

Pinikula

hi feather!

3:15 pm

riiiight. so Pini, you're trying to move songs from the iPod to the iTunes, right?

3:15 pm

3:16 pm

Pinikula

I'd just like to sync what's on my iTouch to the my iTunes account and add the new stuff from my iTunes to the iTouch...

3:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

want points for grocum . . .

3:17 pm

Nancy Boy

okay - I think what you need to do is take all the files that you wanna keep off your ipod, and store them on your computer. That way, you can sync your iTouch to your new iTunes and add the other songs later...I think

3:18 pm

Pinikula

will start with that, NB

3:18 pm

Nancy Boy

it took me a while to figure out how - couldn't get the songs off my iPod. Doing it now...slowly ;)

3:20 pm

Atalante

(or just make a playlist with the new songs in itunes and then sync that playlist, pini)

3:20 pm

Soodlebum

Hello Ata. Havent seen you for ages. Heard you had an accident? You ok now?

3:21 pm

Atalante

ripped a ligament in my knee *sigh*

3:22 pm

Soodlebum

how are you now?

3:22 pm

Atalante

all trussed up in bondage braces :P but ok. can't walk. annoying!

3:22 pm

Pinikula

NB...your iPod doesn't have other "apps" on it, right?

3:23 pm

Pinikula

sorry to hear, ata, hope it heals quckly

3:23 pm

Soodlebum

Ata - youve probably thrown all male Babblers into a tizzy!!

3:24 pm

Nancy Boy

not that I know of, Pini! First time for everything though ;)

3:24 pm

Pinikula

ok...jumping in with both feet then! (music, pics, and assorted apps)

3:24 pm

Atalante

probably! but it's the only way to describe this thing! It's lots of clips and ties in black material and metal bracing struts all up my leg!

3:26 pm

Soodlebum

Your enjoying this, arent you, Ata? : )

3:26 pm

Atalante

have to get some amusement out of the situation :P

3:26 pm

Soodlebum

Yiou

3:27 pm

Soodlebum

You Go, Girl!!!

3:27 pm

Atalante

it's really very annoying and itchy and painful. But I don't say that!

3:27 pm

sciencegeek

so, Ata, you are now into bondage?

3:28 pm

Atalante

hospital-enforced bondage, oh yes LOL

3:28 pm

sciencegeek

so, I need to know - what did you do?

3:28 pm

Atalante

oh, ripped the medial ligament in my knee

3:28 pm

Atalante

very stupidly!

3:28 pm

sciencegeek

how?

3:29 pm

Atalante

3:29 pm

Atalante

3:30 pm

Soodlebum

Ditto, ScienceGeek. I am floundering.

Atalante

oh yes. very artistic. much swearing and slipping. and Hobbit looking on in astonishment!

3:30 pm

Atalante

me too

3:30 pm

sciencegeek

well, Hobbit was probably afraid!

3:31 pm

Soodlebum

Ata. is himself looking after you?

3:31 pm

Atalante

she came up straight away and licked my nose. darling girl!

3:31 pm

Atalante

In his own individual way ...

3:31 pm

Atalante

mum's been down for a few days too

3:31 pm

sciencegeek

did you have surgery?

3:32 pm

Atalante

nope, had a horrid HORRID ankle to thigh plaster cast for 2 weeks. now this brace for 4 -5 weeks. Plus a lot of physio

3:32 pm

3:33 pm

Soodlebum

Ata, my beloved King...15 stone Rothweiller had to be put to sleep last week. I had him 12 years, and he got lame, and the vet said it was bone cancer, and there was no hope. We are all stilll totally devastated.

3:33 pm

sciencegeek

Thank you, Ata. May it be many a long day before Hobbit joins King!

seemed like a good time for a rimshot

7:25 pm

evanonut

that's a rim shot?

7:26 pm

evanonut

sounds like a rum shot

7:26 pm

featherbee

how would you spell it?

7:26 pm

featherbee

hmmmm. that might liven the place up.

7:26 pm

evanonut

i dunno...i've never spelled percussions out before

7:27 pm

featherbee

'snot easy.

7:27 pm

evanonut

60 sketches due tomorrow, haven't even started yet

7:27 pm

Try this: http://instantrimshot.com/

7:28 pm

evanonut

concept development currently

7:28 pm

featherbee

ooooo, thanks tor!

7:29 pm

featherbee

ooooo, my avg virus didn't like that site!

7:29 pm

featherbee

ok, so what exactly is concept development? i'm bored, thus the 20 questions routine.

7:29 pm

evanonut

i'd trust avg, its never led me astray

7:30 pm

evanonut

concept development so far appears to be brainstorming 500,000 ideas and taking one and perfecting it

7:30 pm

featherbee

interesting. there's a class for that? well, apparently so.

7:31 pm

evanonut

there is if you're an art student anyway

7:31 pm

featherbee

been ages since i've caught up with you, didn't know you were now an art student. that's cool.

7:31 pm

featherbee

i always think i'd like to go back and get a photography degree.

7:32 pm

evanonut

they make photography degrees?

7:33 pm

featherbee

seems so. i get ads targeted at me on facebook about it. made the mistake of contacting on, just for curiosity.

7:33 pm

evanonut

i've designed a logo for a broadcasting company so far, am designing one for the family business, and am about to start (hopefully) doing work for the local paranormal society

7:33 pm

evanonut

that's actually how i ended up at art school...darned facebook

7:33 pm

featherbee

they wouldn't stop calling me after. i ended up calling back and telling them that after the way the pestered me and wouldn't leave me alone, there was no way i'd ever consider paying them money for anything!

7:34 pm

evanonut

they're only interested in talking to you until you're enrolled. then you have to hire a private detective to get anything.

7:34 pm

featherbee

that's neat about the logos!

7:34 pm

featherbee

ha

7:35 pm

featherbee

is it an online course, or do you actually go to a real building and everything?

7:35 pm

evanonut

yeah, the logos are fun

7:35 pm

evanonut

Illustrator is a BLAST

7:36 pm

evanonut

its all online, had to do a sculpture for a final in my last class...it was on facebook. did you see it? the wine bottle.

7:36 pm

featherbee

no, gotta go see!

7:36 pm

evanonut

go see then!

7:36 pm

featherbee

ideograph?

7:37 pm

evanonut

yeah

7:37 pm

evanonut

it had to relate the history of type

7:37 pm

featherbee

ooooh, neat stuff!

7:38 pm

evanonut

weird, the instructor keeps passing me over when commenting on assignments...i'm kinda hurt

7:38 pm

evanonut

i thought so, oh, and it had to be a clear sculpture

7:39 pm

featherbee

i like how you put the text inside

7:40 pm

evanonut

and that my friend, was the single most difficult thing i've done so far this year

7:40 pm

featherbee

what was the paragraph on?

7:41 pm

evanonut

on the history of type, starting with pictograph to ideograph to phoenician alphabet etc.

7:41 pm

featherbee

and what do these 60 drawings have to be on? anything? lol, and how did you end up the night before they're due without doing any? (says the self-proclaimed procrastinator extraordinaire)

7:41 pm

featherbee

no, i meant what material

7:42 pm

featherbee

i like the cat and mouse, cool lines in the cat

7:43 pm

evanonut

um, from what i gather, they need to demonstrate how different line shapes, textures, etc give the appearance of say motion, speed, growth, and what not

7:43 pm

evanonut

cat was just me playing with my favorite toy, the vistablet

7:43 pm

featherbee

oooo, neat

7:44 pm

10:12 pm

Jacula

Oh, didn't realise you had a sick kid, stid.

10:12 pm

10:14 pm

Jacula

It's not what you need when you are in your teens and seeking a mate.

10:14 pm

stidmama

10:14 pm

Minski

And while I am looking for hints........I am missing the CE5 as well.

10:26 pm

Minveryork

The da 4/5 is 5/15/10. Here is yo 4/7 story of clues for today. It was an ug4/9 grid. I'd ra4/4 this grid a negative 10!Not happy with my monkeys today.First they were ta5/16 and didn't get here until very late Then my monkeys were very unru4/7 and they would not follow any of my ru 4/5s. This enra4/6ed me so I fired them & they da4/5ed out of my ya 4/7 through the ga 4/5. Then I hired a le 5/14 to co 4/6 help me. Actually it was a co6/30 since he kept flying around. He was stubborn as a mu 4/6 and would not budge so I had to dr4/7 him here on a dr4/7. He really did not want to help me today. I was filled with gl 4/6 when I did finish grid. I gave my le 5/14 a tr 4/6 of cookies. Now I have an ur4/7 to do some yo4/8 to calm down.

10:27 pm

Minski

think Shakepeare, a Nymph in the woods.

10:35 pm

Minveryork

I'm here off and on,but now I am off to take a shower

10:36 pm

harpjane

I made myself promise I would do some housework before i went to bed, but I babbled instead.....

10:36 pm

stidmama

I am here for the moment, and then will go work on schoolwork a bit

10:36 pm

Jacula

Oh, okay Harp. See you mextt grid then.

10:36 pm

harpjane

Just got back from a four day BUSY trip.....being the lead cow for 31 people.

10:37 pm

stidmama

lead COW?

10:37 pm

stidmama

not tin, or iron, or steel?

10:37 pm

Jacula

<in - see you next grid, too.xx

10:37 pm

harpjane

It's a term of endearment in the west, lol! maybe it should be Copper Cow!

10:37 pm

Jacula

She meant in the forefront, stid.

10:38 pm

stidmama

oh! LOL thanks!

10:38 pm

harpjane

when the Lead Cow gets up, everyone follows.....

10:38 pm

harpjane

no I like stid's definition better!

10:39 pm

Jacula

The lead cow is actually very important n farming terms. If you don't have her co-operation, you're f*cked.

10:39 pm

stidmama

*envisioning a cow of steel, faster than a speeding tornado, able to leap the rocky mountains in a single bound...*

10:40 pm

harpjane

that would have been handy, i would have been home earlier!

10:40 pm

stidmama

I get it now! LOL the head of the pack. "alpha bitch" in dog terms.

10:40 pm

harpjane

And, I might add, the lead cow doesn't have a lot of privacy......

10:41 pm

Jacula

No, sh doesn't, harp.

10:41 pm

stidmama

:-D no, I suspect it's like a mama, they follow you EVERYWHERE!

10:41 pm

stidmama

so. here I am, dragging my feet and NOT getting the reading done.

10:41 pm

Jacula

You got tha right, stid.

10:42 pm

harpjane

what are you reading stid (or rather, what are you NOT reading?)

10:42 pm

stidmama

I am going to do the mature thing and read these texts that are "due" for Tuesday.

10:43 pm

stidmama

It's a book by Elizabeth J Meyer about "GEnder, Bullysing, and Harrassment"

10:44 pm

Jacula

I'm going off to put my cold feet on hapily snoring Other Half's bum now. That's what men's bums are for - warming your feet on. Happy Babbling all.xxx

10:44 pm

harpjane

love it jac!

10:44 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

10:44 pm

harpjane

sounds like a book worth knowing about stid

10:45 pm

stidmama

It's actually a good book, and not HUGE, the way many have been.

10:45 pm

stidmama

hey jmc

10:45 pm

jmcnrick

*interested in singing bullies*

10:45 pm

stidmama

we are three months and a week away from our meeting in Olympia!!!

10:45 pm

Jacula

And if I ever do 'grow up', I'll be ashamed of myself forr doing so.

10:45 pm

stidmama

LOL Jac! sweet dreams!

10:45 pm

harpjane

Is this for a presentation or something?

10:45 pm

stidmama

no, just part of the curriculum for the Master's in TEaching.

10:46 pm

harpjane

Ah, good for you and good for the education system for finally addressing bullying!

10:46 pm

stidmama

I am going to B.S. my way through whatever I didn't actually read this week -- I have other tasks that are more pressing, but I am just tired enough that trying to work on the other things is not going to be useful.

10:47 pm

stidmama

I was glad to see this text in the list, actually. Bullying is a personal interest of mine. (almost said hobby...)

10:47 pm

harpjane

Last night in the car, my Special Olympics athletes talked about all the ways they were teased when they were in high school.....

10:47 pm

jmcnrick

*shock look*

10:47 pm

stidmama

And it is also part of the small directed research project (survey of the literature) I decided to do this quarter.

10:48 pm

stidmama

oh gee, harpjane. yes, that is why it interests me -- my highschool friends who were differnt, and of course my own son with challenges.

10:48 pm

harpjane

They just talk about it as if it is a natural thing, like how old were you when you learned to ride a bike, and how many times a day did you get teased.....

10:48 pm

harpjane

Ah, i forgot about your son.

10:49 pm

harpjane

One guy said his voice sounded funny because of his cleft palate and so they all teased him for being a "fem"

10:49 pm

harpjane

stuff that still hurts 20 years later

10:50 pm

jmcnrick

you don't have to be too different to be bullied i still remember from 50 years ago

10:50 pm

stidmama

oh, yes, it is all very familiar.

10:50 pm

jaeleigh

I was bullied and it still hurts me

10:50 pm

harpjane

I was really flat chested until the middle of college so I got teased a lot, but never really anything physical

10:51 pm

stidmama

oh course, it wasn't until "cyberbullying" and the very public problems of popluar kids of well-off parents that it seemed to get the spotlight.

10:51 pm

jmcnrick

i still bar the toy "cooties" from my house

10:52 pm

jmcnrick

i am glad it is getting attention for whatever reason

10:53 pm

harpjane

I have read some stuff about teasing, and the "experts" agree that teasing can build relationships, be fun, help people get to know each other, etc.

10:54 pm

harpjane

But the "teeter totter" analogy is the way to tell if it's getting out of hand. If it's done between two people of equal size, status, intellectual functioning, and they are both having fun, then it's okay.

10:54 pm

stidmama

I think there is a difference between good natured teasing, harassment, and bullying. I think those are three separate items with similarities.

10:54 pm

jmcnrick

teasing is different from bullying

10:54 pm

harpjane

If one person is doing all the teasing, then it's bullying

10:54 pm

PAV3

jmcnrick

10:57 pm

stidmama

true! any way you get a wurd is good...

10:58 pm

stidmama

earlier I was at Mother's without babble expert, and entered the SAME wurd in the grid multiple times because I couldn't figure out why it wasn't adding to the list! LOL

10:58 pm

stidmama

so. I am going to go read, and maybe pick up the younger stidkid from the play he went to.

10:58 pm

jmcnrick

I never knew there were star rubies. Star sapphires, yes, and there was quite a fad for them in the late 1940s for engagement rings.
