6:10 am

You know though, there were some fans there from the ROK who went just so they could see the players from the DPRK - they'd never seen people from the north before. Isn't it bizarre?
6:11 am

thats 50 - quick start

for many years, ME was considered a fake illness because symptoms would vary from case to case, and people would get better for a while and then have a relapse. It's only in the last few years that it's become a recognised illness - caused by a virus

7:33 am
PinnyPoppins

7:33 am
Riverdance

your first day is the day of my sons surgery so that wouldnt work anyway. Maybe later in the year if you make it out
7:34 am
PinnyPoppins

i did actually crack and smoke 9 cigarettes in one evening (very stressful day when i had to pick between this job and another), and then stayed awake all night feeling sick and unable to sleep
7:34 am
Mom

give me a shout if you ever have a layover at CVG airport
7:35 am
Mom

oh Pinny, to go between no job and then having to choose between 2
7:35 am
Riverdance

oh no - I have come close lately myself but havent given in - called friend to talk me off the wall
7:35 am
PinnyPoppins

7:35 am

7:38 am
PinnyPoppins

what happened river?
7:39 am
Riverdance

he collapsed a couple weeks ago when his heart rate went over 300 - is having an issue with the electrical pathway in his heart - they need to do an electophysio study/catheterization
7:40 am
PinnyPoppins

oh gosh! that's terrible
7:40 am
PinnyPoppins

really wish him better
7:40 am
Riverdance

so today we meet with the doctor that is going to perform the procedure - procedure is supposed to last 8-10 hours
7:41 am
NonoNanette

my husband had the elctrophysio study done several years ago
7:42 am
NonoNanette

8 to 10 hours seems a long time but then they found hubby's problem right away so maybe it would have taken longer if not
7:42 am
Riverdance

they told me this is going to be very long until total anesthesia so he will feel very hung over for a couple of days
7:42 am
Riverdance

She is almost like Mary Poppins, almost perfect in every way - well apart from not being able to sew or find her glasses or remember when the car needed it MOT - but apart from that she is perfect :)
10:36 am
Haz1558

I know. Mary Poppins wouldn't lose her glasses, would she?
10:37 am
rururocks

mary poppins would have lasik surgery
10:37 am
FMitch

unless she put them in her capacious carpet bag, in which case they would never be seen again given what came out of it.
10:37 am
Vicuna

MAry Poppins was too vain to wear glasses. SHe's really a very unpleasant character in the book. But Haz is more like the Julie ANdrews version.

hello judi
12:05 pm

I might have to employ the cabana boys as bodyguards at this rate. There has been very much unauthorised stuffing of phone numbers where I do not appreciate it, such as in my back pockets or down the front of my shirt. Shield me, boys ;)

good question, jacq.

chocolat is the answer. And in case of absolute bottom of pit feelings, strawberries to go with it.

1:10 pm
jacq

1:11 pm

1:11 pm
rubyfoo

I am very skinny and they were down against my ribs
1:11 pm
jacq

1:13 pm
rubyfoo

1:13 pm
jillibus

strangely, the sentinel node was free!
1:14 pm
rubyfoo

I didn't know about sentinel nodes then
1:14 pm
jillibus

no -- luckily the oncologist said it would only add a 2% advantage
1:15 pm
rubyfoo

I had CAF chemo plus atavan, was never sick, and went to work the day after!
1:15 pm
jillibus

that was 10 years ago, and annual diagnostic mammograms show nothing.
1:15 pm
rubyfoo

we lived for percentages, eh?
1:15 pm
rubyfoo

I've stopped getting checkups; it will be 20 years in November.
1:16 pm

jillibus

wow, ruby! My sis-in-law had it just after mine but was not estrogen-dependent so had chemo and was sick as a dog, lost hair, the whole ball of wax. I just went onto Tamoxifen and now am on Letrozole (Femara)
1:17 pm
jillibus

I have a lot of confidence in good doctors.
1:18 pm
rubyfoo

I lost all (ALL) my hair and went on Tamoxifen for 2 1/2 years after, but because of the Atavan, added by the Boston MD who designed my protocol, was never sick. Just couldn't drink gin for a while
1:18 pm
jillibus

I'm too pudgy for welf-exams
1:18 pm
jillibus

jillibus

1:29 pm
jillibus

she is terrified to be alone, even for five minutes. We have had to scramble to find coverage the few hours I am at work. One day I had to hire primo's old girlfriend, the lovely nursing student....

i feel your pain - i get stressed just taking my mom out to dinner!
6:16 pm

primo's new GF found out and dumped him, so now primo is not speaking to me. Secondo and Tertiare just left with Mr. Hate, and tomorrow is Tertiare's birthday party, which she decided would be a pool party at HIS house, so I will be here with the lovely grammy, alone

carole and matt are in the process of trying to quickly dump and run from their house to hers, which is proving almost impossible with two little boys under foot, so I have them now while they finish up a few things. To be honest, it's been great having them here. Mom is speaking and playing with them, and I am here. Trying not to go nuts and sucking down a Mike's lemonade with head-spinning speed

River, this sounds quite mad, i know. but i have a cell phone that costs me nothing. if you feel like a chat, or an off-load, I have two very good ears, and despite being Irish, I am actually quite a good listener. If you thought I could be of any help to you at all, I would be happy to call you.
6:51 pm

Hey Nef, haven't been on with you for awhile. Nice to see you
7:58 pm
Nef

hi LA. We just had a big storm blow through here; parts of Minneapolis and St. Paul are under water (flash floods) but the tornado warning is over!
7:59 pm
LeslieAnn

yikes. we had quite a nasty storm yesterday and some tornado conditions but no touchdowns i don't think
8:00 pm
Nef

hi Jilly. I've just been busy with work and hauling DH to doctor appts. When I finally get here it's late evenings and I end up falling asleep at the keyboard
8:02 pm
Jillyjill

lol, well, I am taking a break from nursing to attend a training for youth ministry.
8:02 pm
Nef

LA, they just announced about a Volvo floating down Lyndale Ave in south MPLS. There have been numerous torados spotted around the Cities but haven't heard of damage this week (bad storms last week here and 29 tornados sited across the state; 3 people died)
8:03 pm
Jillyjill

will be on and off tonight, been a long time since fw...i've been going to bed early and the motel wi-fi is slowwww at times
8:03 pm
LeslieAnn

oh my goodness. only time i've been to minn/st. paul was shortly after the bridge collapse. you guys have had enough trouble up there
8:05 pm
Nef

That sounds like fun, Jilly. I did that at one point too when my daughter was a teen; we'd take them on retreats and tell them "boys are blue, girls are pink; we don't want any purple!" It helped that I worked nights back then; I could stay awake and keep them honest! ;-)
8:05 pm
Nef

what were you doing here then, LA?
8:06 pm
LeslieAnn

have a friend who was getting married there, her family is from minn
8:06 pm
Nef

ok
8:06 pm
LeslieAnn

did some touristy things, the sculpture garden, zoo etc.
8:06 pm
Jillyjill

lol nef, gotta remember THAT one. I had left my volunteer role when my kids graduated. then the ministry sorta fell apart and I came back in to rebuild it, but this time I do get a stipend.
8:07 pm
Nef

how big is your group, Jilly?
8:08 pm
Nef

Coming from the Chicago area, what did you think of the Twin Cities, Leslie?
8:09 pm
Nef

and which zoo did you go to? We have the Como Zoo and the MN zoo here (Como is older, small and free; it's my favorite)
8:10 pm
LeslieAnn

er the mn zoo i think. i am pretty sure we paid. they had a very cute prairie dog exhibit
8:11 pm
LeslieAnn

it is a nice area
8:12 pm
Nef

that's what I still call the "new" zoo (the MN zoo). My dtr was laughing at me saying that the other day. It's been around for probably 25+ years now
8:14 pm
LeslieAnn

i can't remember the name of the place where the wedding was - it was a scottish bar in downtown st. paul i believe. they had lawn bowling. :)
8:16 pm
Nef

was it Brit's Pub? They have lawn bowling on the roof; but that's in MPLS
8:19 pm
LeslieAnn

that must have been it, it was on the roof. really nice place!

8:24 pm
Nef

(or headed the wrong way is more correct)
8:28 pm
lulumad

can you please explain how the scoring works
8:29 pm
LeslieAnn

first number = number of letters in the word, second number = total points
8:29 pm
LeslieAnn

so, ar 4/7 starts with ar, has four letters and is worth 7 points
8:30 pm
lulumad

but is a 5 letter word doubled, 6 tripled?
8:30 pm
Minski

phew! S & T were tough. Moving on up.
8:30 pm
LeslieAnn

oh yes, 5 doubled, 6 tripled, 7 quadrupled etc.
8:30 pm

welcome lulu. the 2 best ways to figure out this game are to read the help info (right above the chatlog here); and also scroll down to the bottom of the page and on the left is a section called Friends of Babble. AngelSong's Babble Page is how I learned how to play
8:31 pm
Minski

oops. thought I was done with the Ss but missed most of the Sa words. didn't see the 3rd s.

I'm sorry about your DH. MS is a miserable disease.
9:25 pm
lbdawger

one can never be too tired to each chocolates! Poor Minski!
9:26 pm
Nef

No, he didn't break anything; and he fell between therapist visits. He's been doing very well; and was starting to deny that he isn't as weak as he is. I think it kind of shook him up; but otherwise he's okay

9:31 pm
Nef

Ah, LA. DH has had it for 24 years; diagnosed at age 39 and did very well until the end of April. He's never been hospitalized with it though
9:32 pm
LeslieAnn

well they are running tests but have been for a few days now. not sure if ms yet, but probably so.
9:32 pm
Nef

He'd only used a cane up til April. I'd bought him a walker about 5 years ago for a relapse but he'd never used it til now. Now he's in a wheel chair

10:24 pm

Ah, but, Jes, have you still not realised that the most obvious words hide in Babble grids?
10:25 pm
jesdraggon

heh. i'm out of practice, jac--haven't finished a grid in ages.
10:26 pm
Jacula

I finish the grid every day, unless I'm away on holiday without internet access, so can only do it on paper. The impetus to finish isn't there without the chog though.
10:26 pm
Jacula

I think my family quite like that!
10:28 pm
Jacula

Though, I do have to say, my other half thought I hadn't been playing Babble for months, since he'd not seen it on the PC when he'd got home from work. That's 'cos I finished with my 2 morning buckets of tea.
10:28 pm
Jacula

The more you play this game, the easier it gets.
10:28 pm
jesdraggon

heh. i haven't had time to play at work, which is where i usually do it. tonight i'm playing from home
10:29 pm
Jacula

Well, I'm lucky enough to work from home at present.
10:30 pm
jesdraggon

ah, that would make it easier :)
10:30 pm
Jacula

Yes, it does.
10:33 pm
Jacula

I've been on Word Tornado on Facebook earlier, still trying to recruit new Babble players. Most prefer the fast game you 'win' with no chat. Ce'st la vie!
10:34 pm
Jacula

Personally, I don't think there's anything to beat Babble. If you have any quibbles or niggles, contact Dr_God, who wants to know how to improve things right now.
10:35 pm
jesdraggon

nope. other than the dictionary not having words that are words...
10:35 pm
jesdraggon

does he want to know about those?
10:35 pm
Jacula

Jes - you should have had an e mail from him?
10:36 pm
Nef

LOL! Jes, I don't think Dr_God can fix that dictionary other than to change to another one)
10:36 pm
jesdraggon

probably. i think i skimmed and din't think of anything to say, so i didn't reply
10:39 pm
Jacula

I haven't replied yet, but would say update the dictionary used, include an edit and a delete button for chog.
10:40 pm
Nef

Jac, are you saying that Dr_God sent out emails recently?
10:40 pm
Jacula

Some people want an 'ignore' button' but I don't think that chog is set up for that.
10:40 pm
Jacula

Nef - yes.

asking for your feedback. I welcome any and all feedback. Let your
brain juices flow!

A few sample questions/topics:

What do you like the most about Babble?
What do you dislike the most about Babble?
What feature(s) would you like to see added to Babble?
How could the Babble community be strengthened?

Your feedback can be nit-picky or can include pie-in-the-sky dreams.
It's all good to me.

Thanks and Happy Babbling!

I was af 6/30 that I was not going to finish but I had nothing to fr4/7 about because grid was doable with a list and didn't drive me nu 4/5. Now I will do a nice ge7/40 by doing a st 5/14 of clues for you. I ar 5/10 this morning not feeling well. I had a ru5/16 because of allergies. But I sa4/5 to myself, "Do not da4/5 call in sick. Today is the last day of school." So I went to work in the not so sa4/7 part of Yonkers.On my way to work I heard on the ra5/12 about a shooting that happened in Yonkers.When I got to work everybody el4/4 was standing outside looking at all the activity going on outside the school.There was not even a so 4/4 in the office. I asked what happened & was told someone got shot. Unfortunately they did not fa 4/7 well and died.The criminal shot him & then he st5/10 from them. I was so st 4/5ed that it happened right across from the school's tu4/8.It turned out the guy worked at Staples.I go to the st5/10 all the time. He was young too. It to 4/4 my heart out to hear about someone so young being murdered. Now I'm about to lo 4/4 the computer to hubby. My husband go 4/6 on the computer every night to play Farmville. My eyes are so 4/4 from staring at computer anyway.So I am going to ra5/10 my ro6/24 body out of this seat and go ra4/5 the fridge.Then I'm off to watch a late nite go 4/8 movie starring Ra 5/16 spelling.Was probably the worst ro4/4 he ever had even though hasn't had too many ro 5/10. I hope you do not get lo 4/4 in my st 5/14 of clues and find lo 4/4 more words.I hope all go 4/6 well for the re4/4 of the night and those who are not finished yet get their fireworks! Goodnight!
