jillibus
hi dee hi, hello George, and thanks, Lickety! (Just tore my eyes away from the grid)
12:06 am
Gеогgе
buckets and other containers all over, catching the water! happens whenever we get heavy rain, old houses are fun sometimes!!
12:06 am
jillibus
Sorry, George, didn't see anything but the grid, as I said.
12:06 am
jillibus
Old houses need new roofing!
12:07 am
Gеогgе
ha! had this one redone once already, Jill!
12:07 am
Gеогgе
should show you an aerial shot of it! lots of roofing to replace, big job!!
12:07 am
jillibus
not a good job, then, George!
12:08 am
Gеогgе
having part of it temporarily repaired on Monday, roofer was by last night to look at it, he's gonna give me an estimate
12:08 am
Gеогgе
and old, yeah, that it is -- try 1867!!
12:08 am
jillibus
<-- shudders at the thought of what the estimate might be
12:09 am
Gеогgе
although that's not 'old' by our standards, ha!
12:09 am
Gеогgе
yeah, you and me both, Jill, I'm shuddering to think!
12:09 am
flosey
wow George, that's even older than the house we lived in in Ontario
12:09 am
Gеогgе
yeah, well it's not really 'old' for over here!
12:09 am
jillibus
Oh, a mere newcomer! The farmhouse I left in the Montreal area was built (started) in 1850 -- amny additions since.
12:10 am
flosey
we never had a leaky roof but we did have a fire caused by ill advised chimney - we had been told what to use!!
12:10 am
Gеогgе
oh yeah? beats mine by 17 years then!
12:11 am
Gеогgе
oh hell, musta been scary, that! never had a fire, other than in my fireplaces--touch wood! (touches head)

But se didn't have lions guarding the front door -- just Great Danes flopped on the sofas.
12:12 am
flosey
I didn't find out until everything was out! but hubby drove up the street, coming from work to find all the fire trucks, etc hard at work
12:12 am
MLFAN17
jess is that AD word something we should know?
12:12 am
Gеогgе
oh yeah, well your Great Danes were probably better at guarding the place than my lions are! they're bloody idle, don't even move when anyone approaches the house, lol!
12:12 am
flosey
I was working late that night
12:13 am
jillibus
same thing with the Danes, George, although they tended to lick everyone to death.

12:41 am

12:41 am
Gеогgе

12:41 am
Gеогgе
far, far from it, ruru! ha, ha!!
12:42 am
jillibus
How many kids altogether, George?
12:42 am
Gеогgе
I have 5 brothers, 1 sister, try fitting us all in one pic in the bio so we're all still clearly visible? ha!
12:42 am
JeeWhiz
Does your other brother's name start with G also? I am fascinated by family names that are connected. What is your sister's name?
12:42 am
Gеогgе
but my sis babbles as well, so you can just look up her bio page!
12:43 am
Gеогgе
the brother beside me, yeah, Gerald's his name
12:43 am
flosey
your sister is lovely, George
12:43 am
Gеогgе
but why does it matter if his name starts with G too? none of the others' names do!
12:44 am
Gеогgе
yeah, she sure is, flosey -- she's the brains of the family as well, I say!

12:45 am
JeeWhiz
How are you seeing George's sister? I don't see her on his photo pages.
12:45 am
Gеогgе
well, yesterday evening, like, when the rain was pouring in my bedroom ceiling! she was running about gathering buckets and other containers to collect the water, while I sat tweeting on my Twitter page, lol! she was doing such a good job of it though, didn't wanna get in her way!!
12:46 am
Gеогgе
no, JeeWhiz, she has a bio page on here, find her in the Rankings -- her player name is Shivs Fitz!
12:46 am
jillibus
Jee, I had met her here some time ago.
12:47 am
Gеогgе
Shivs Fitz -- sorry, you want it on the same line, to copy and paste it!
12:47 am
Gеогgе
you had met her where, Jill??
12:47 am
JeeWhiz
ok, will try to find her. I thought I must be a little daft compared to all of the rest of you seeing her...:)
12:48 am

He was an Britlish singer, back in the 80s, George

rubyfoo
I just got the a7, whoopee
12:54 am

ooh, just saw it!!
12:54 am
Gеогgе

12:55 am
jillibus
Oh yes, Christine, lol -- there was evena Gt Dane named after him!
12:55 am
Gеогgе
yeah, saw it before I saw your 'insistent' bit too, Jill, so quite proud of that, ha!
12:55 am
Christine
Really? one of yours?
12:56 am
jillibus
Not one of ours -- we were totally unaware of pop singers.
12:56 am
Gеогgе
who are you talking about Christine, me??
12:56 am
Christine
I don't remember much about him, but I think he dressed as a pirate? Johnny Depp type.
12:56 am
Gеогgе
oh, lol, never mind -- see who you mean!
12:56 am
rubyfoo
if this grid had an s there would be twice as many words!
12:56 am
Gеогgе
yeah, now just saw your 2nd comment here, lol!

that's better -- Ge-ogre, lol!
1:07 am
flosey
well done, Jilli
1:08 am
rubyfoo
glue for that jilli? pls (or an 8. for that matter)
1:08 am
Christine
snap -- I, too, was ready to 'gloat' .
1:08 am
jillibus
it's a silly word
1:08 am
rubyfoo
clue (or glue, if it's a compound)
1:09 am
jillibus
de9 -- add the picnic pest to the de6/27
1:09 am
flosey
got it, really is silly
1:09 am
rubyfoo
ooh, ty jilli!!
1:09 am
Gеогgе
ooh, ta! xx
1:10 am
Gеогgе
I didn't even think of that, didn't occur to me!
1:10 am
jillibus
ridiculous, wot?
1:10 am
rubyfoo
I keep trying demented
1:10 am
flosey
lol, got it as soon as you said it was silly
1:10 am
Gеогgе
eh, not quite.......
1:11 am
Gеогgе
do you have the da6/27, ruby?
1:11 am
flosey
but I feel that way sometimes ruby!
1:11 am
Gеогgе
if you do, add a picnic pest to it!
1:13 am
Christine
Jillibus -- that could be a clue for your crosstics: insist on picnic pest
1:13 am
Gеогgе
yeah, Christine!
1:14 am
jillibus
Christine, it's cryptics, not crosstics. Crostics are another thing altogether, and I used to do Double Crostics too -- great fun!
1:15 am
Gеогgе
ooh, oer halfway now!
1:15 am
jillibus
But yes, that would be a cryptic clue :)
1:15 am
Gеогgе
yeah, they can be fun but some of them make my brain hurt, Christine! lol!
1:15 am
jillibus
wtg geo!
1:15 am
rubyfoo
I have half but not nbt
1:15 am
Gеогgе
at least I suppose that means I have one!?
1:15 am
Christine
My brain is not what it should be. tonight - difference twixt crosstics and cryptics, if you will ...
1:16 am
rubyfoo
half a demented brian, too!
1:16 am
Gеогgе
don't ask me, Christine, couldn't tell ya anyhow, ha!
1:16 am
Christine
I'm sure I know/knew the difference, at one time.
1:16 am
Gеогgе
half a demented Brian? don't tell Brian that, lol!
1:17 am
rubyfoo
half a brian is better than no brian
1:18 am
Gеогgе
perhaps he's a half wit?
1:18 am
Christine
But half a demented Brian??? Dunno, seems like too much agaist him.
1:18 am
Gеогgе
yeah, very true, that!
1:19 am
jillibus
crostics -- acrostics -- from Wikipedia: "...An acrostic... is a poem or other form of writing in which the first letter, syllable or word of each line, paragraph or other recurring feature in the text spells out a word or a message"
1:19 am
rubyfoo
I love acrostics, just can't get enough of them
1:20 am
jillibus
There are books of Double Crostics etc -- see amazon.
1:20 am
rubyfoo
I've bought many of them
1:20 am
Christine
I think that may be what I ordered, last night.
1:21 am
Gеогgе
bet Christine would love our acronym game, eh Jill?
1:21 am
rubyfoo
and the New York Times published one every other week
1:21 am

oh sorry, was ruby who said that, lol!
1:21 am

Fun, aren't they! I haven't done them in years.

Yes indeed, george. Too bad it fizzled.
1:21 am
Christine
Sorry, and not an acceptable word
1:22 am

Christine, if your gonna type a word in here instead of the grid, at least make sure it's one that works, yeah? ha, ha!
1:22 am

just hit the wrong key and lost the game for a minute. Perhaps that's a sign that I had better get dressed!

In my head, it sounded feasible.

1:25 am
jillibus
and just got the pe7! I'm not usually good at finding the long words!
1:26 am
flosey
if it's pe7/36, there's also pe8
1:26 am
jillibus
and the pe8
1:26 am
jillibus
just saw it, flosey ;)
1:26 am
flosey
seems an odd one?
1:29 am
flosey
does anyone have a clue for the pa7?
1:30 am
jillibus
(sorry, was watching CTV news, guys dancing)
1:31 am
jillibus
pa7 is a cure-all
1:31 am
jillibus
pa7 -- naughty Greek god, high card, vowel
1:32 am
flosey
thanks jill, knew the word but couldn't end it!!
1:35 am
jillibus
running out of steam -- back aching...
1:36 am
flosey
what have you been doing that caused that, jilli
1:37 am
flosey
my brain's shutting down!
1:37 am
jillibus
nothing, flosey -- It's between the shoulder blades. I think I sit here too much!
1:37 am
jillibus
It happens at bridge too.
1:38 am
flosey
ah, but you don't slouch
1:38 am
flosey
you sit nice and straight
1:39 am
jillibus
No. I think it comes from sitting and looking down at the keyboard or the cards! Strains the back muscles!
1:39 am
jillibus
hi m9 :)
1:39 am
flosey
yes, understand that
1:41 am

1:51 am
jillibus
Like where, Flosey? It will be Tim Horton's. But I'm treating myself to supper at the Seaside on the way home :)
1:51 am
Gеогgе
aww ta, m9, yeah I was cute once -- whatever happened to me, eh? lol!
1:52 am
m9f9l
you're still very cute and you know it!
1:52 am
flosey
ah good, not familiar with Seaside
1:52 am
jillibus
George, I list the themes in my bio.
1:52 am
Gеогgе
Gerald was cuter though -- he's always been the looker in our family, of all the boys!
1:52 am
Gеогgе
eh, no, m9, 'cute' isn't a word that applies to me!
1:52 am
jillibus
You are so, flosey -- where we had lunch with Bugsaw.
1:53 am
flosey
oh, sorry, was thinking of the other side!
1:53 am
m9f9l
well I think it does. so there!
1:53 am

I'm gonna look up a game pic to post! probably my scrabble set!

Nothing much in Crofton.

2:09 am
sprite
aw not you :(
I do see jilli though.
Have you been poorly or just too busy to play?
2:10 am
flosey
a bit, sprite, but looking forward to getting back to the game - also our ladies league starts up this month
2:12 am
flosey
I do play online most days though, have been playing with a fellow in New Jersey for several years
2:12 am
sprite
ah good you feel up to it, flosey! I hope you will have lots of fun... and good cards :)
2:13 am

I would be awfully bad at it. I like card games with lots of laughter and banter, and not so much depending on memory. I do play Klaverjassen... (Jass?).
2:15 am

wow flosey!

sorry to be late in responding, I was writing an email to Ata.
2:31 am
lynxxx
Haven't seen you for a few days, all well?
2:32 am
sprite
yes am well, was early last 2 days. And didn't chat the day before last because the spoiling people were still around, so I hid the chat.
2:32 am
sprite
how are you doing?
2:35 am
lynxxx
Very well, just got eyes retested (hate all those drops) as I have finally found a cheap set of frames that I like. Some of the prices have been ridiculous - like $600-$800 a pair - excluding the lenses
2:36 am
sprite
omg! Those are insane prices! Am glad you found a cheaper pair.
2:37 am
sprite
I must be off to therapy, will be back later. *hugs*
2:37 am
lynxxx
about 30 years ago I spent $500 on glasses - I hated them after 2 weeks and always swore I would never spend that sort of money again
2:37 am
lynxxx
See you later perhaps, I am out to dinner so maybe not
2:38 am
sprite
I am right with you. Lots of nicer ways to spend that kind of money :)
*ppof*
2:38 am
millsbooks
hope you dont mind my saying ....but have you thought of buying your frames on line
2:39 am
lynxxx
hi Mills. Yes I did actually, had a quick look but decided it was too risky. So many times you fall in love with frames but then they are just awful on your face - on mine anyway!
2:42 am
millsbooks
sorryyy
2:43 am
lynxxx
so am I - I had it already
2:44 am

good morning Babblers :)
5:30 am

hi Nanette!
5:30 am
NonoNanette
sprite I just had some breakfast pizza
5:31 am
sprite
wow! Never tried it for breakfast, must be lovely.
5:31 am
NonoNanette
oh it is, has some scrambled egg and bits of bacon and sausage on it
5:37 am
sprite
bacon is a phantom today. But this grid isn't as phantomy as yesterday's.
5:38 am
NonoNanette
not as phantomy but those that are there seem to be foods :) bacon and banana
5:38 am
bichon
hi and good mornng
5:38 am

voila! ty again
5:42 am
NonoNanette
another phantom... camera
5:42 am
m9f9l
did we have trolls the other day sprite?
5:43 am
sprite
not when I was on
5:43 am
sprite
camera isn't food... or is it? Squid rings?
5:44 am
m9f9l
oh. then who were the spoiling people?
5:44 am
NonoNanette
nooooooo not food this time
5:44 am
NonoNanette
unless its made of chocolate LOL
5:44 am
sprite
the babblers that insist on giving loads of clues and lists of letters.
5:44 am
m9f9l
a chocolate camera?? where?? LOL (combines two of my faves!)
5:44 am
sprite
ok, a chocolate camera will do! :D
5:45 am
m9f9l
ah!!! yes. I understand
5:45 am
sprite
I used to play early after the flip, but now I come later if I can. The grid and chat are much more fun that way.
5:46 am
carleekat
hi again
5:46 am
NonoNanette
hi Carlee!
5:46 am
sprite
hi carlee!
5:46 am
carleekat
people at the flip are so serious
5:46 am
carleekat
hi sprite..nono
5:46 am
m9f9l
yes. I don't mind the calling of the big ones that happens after flip.. but there is definitely a period of time where the cluing is a bit much.LOL
5:47 am
carleekat
thye aare intense
5:47 am
sprite
hm, maybe, but not about really babbling, lol. More about how calls words first and who is fastest and who can lists the most words per letter.
5:47 am
m9f9l
I like flip time!
5:47 am
sprite
I like my grid without clues until I really need them
5:48 am
carleekat
i rther have a friendly chat happening then grid talk
5:48 am
m9f9l
it's a different energy for sure..
5:48 am
m9f9l
well.. Ineed to get some shuteye! yikes!!!
5:48 am
sprite
yes, I like the chat when it is about everything and nothing, sometimes very serious, sometimes hilarious, and all in between.
5:48 am
carleekat
uh yea..duh m9
5:49 am
NonoNanette
I have read some of the flip chogs and they don't sound fun at all, those people are way to intense
5:49 am
sprite
that is the easy part, m9 :)
But then, to fall asleep!
5:50 am
sprite
in the 'old' days it was intense too, but not competitive nor spoiling. It was considered very bad ma6s to give away too much in chat.
5:51 am
sprite
and nowadays it is ill received when I say I like the challenge of the grid... times change!
5:54 am
NonoNanette
the challenge of the grid is what I find so addicting. I may grip about a grid at times but still look forward to them
5:55 am
sprite
lol yes, gripping is part of the fun. Well, however much I loved the old days, I wouldn't want to miss a whole number of Babblers that came later, so in the end, all is well.
5:57 am
NonoNanette
have you been babbling from the beginning spirte, I started a bit over 3 years ago and have heard that things were very different at the beginning
5:58 am
m9f9l
still here after all... just helped Tim get out door for work..
5:58 am
sprite
Have been babbling for about 6 years now, not from the first day, but I was pretty early in the game. It was very different.
6:00 am
Kallia
morning all
6:00 am
NonoNanette
morning Kallia
6:00 am
Kallia
I agree Sprite, very different in those days
6:00 am
sprite
Chog was quiet back then, and in the very early days not always friendly. Around the time I came along, things started to change. We helped eachother a lot, but in a way that still required you to do your thinking for yourself. Cryptic clues were very much appreciated. And we did not have tile stats. Some of us produced 1st letter stats and word length stats when we were finished. To see them, you could scroll down to the early chat.
6:01 am
m9f9l
i like cryptic clues.
6:01 am
Kallia
no clues until people were desperate, and then convulated so you still needed to think
6:02 am
sprite
very different was that when someone could not find a word, he or she tried harder, and did not blame the grid or the helpers, and did not demand another clue 1 minute later, or spelling clues.
6:02 am
sprite
I belong in de PB now, darn. Second time today!
6:02 am
Kallia
hate those clues that say ....ma + curly letter + cross letter etc..
6:02 am
sprite
lollllll exactly!
6:03 am
m9f9l
i'll give them at 3 minutes before flip though!LOL
6:03 am
NonoNanette
yes, I don't want it spelled out for me
6:03 am
Kallia
cant see the point in playing if you need it spelled out!
6:03 am
sprite
it was ok back then that this game was challenging. And luckily for a lot of babblers that is still the case.
6:04 am
sprite
m9, just before flip, all rules are void! That has always been the case, grin.
6:04 am
Atalante
helloooo :)
6:04 am
sprite
Ata!!!! *hugs* Done knotting?
6:05 am
NonoNanette
hi Ata!!
6:05 am
Kallia
oops sorry.....used to always strive to finish and most often did, not so obsessed these days though
6:05 am
Atalante
I wish!!
6:05 am
sprite
I still like to finish, but that fits my personality and my hunger for words. It is not an obsessive thing.
6:05 am
sprite
hehehe well, at least you are here now... time to unknot or unwind.
6:06 am
Atalante
just working out colour schemes :)
6:06 am
sprite
but my beef with the spoilers aside, I like the babble community at large and I consider many Babblers my virtual friends.
6:06 am
Kallia
yeah but if for any reason I cant I just enjoy the fun of finding as many as I can with no lists and no clues lol...sometimes that is many other times abysmal! lol
6:07 am
sprite
that is how I used to play before stats :D
6:08 am
sprite
nowadays, knowing from which tile a word comes makes it a lot easier to find.
6:08 am
Kallia
yes it does
6:09 am
sprite
I have asked drGod to make the tile and word stats hideable in the new Babble...
6:10 am
Kallia
great idea!
6:10 am
Atalante
I like the tile stats, just not much else in terms of help
6:10 am
carleekat
hi atalante
6:10 am
NonoNanette
yes a very good idea, I try to ignore the stats for as long as I can
6:11 am
sprite
it would be great if all help things were hideable. A simple "click to hide" would be all that is needed.
6:11 am
Atalante
hi carlee!
6:11 am
sprite
maybe if more people ask for it, he will consider it.
6:11 am
Kallia
If I play on my notebook, I can't see them unless I use full screen
6:12 am
carleekat
hi kall
6:12 am
sprite
oh smart! I should get internet on my cell phone next time and play it there :D
6:12 am
Kallia
yep that would work lol
6:13 am
carleekat
i like the help items..i am usuallly 1/2 asleep when doing the grid....i find using the "tools" ( as u use each one differently) kinda wakes up the thinking pathways of my brain..if that makes ANY sense at all
6:14 am
sprite
oh yes it does! It is amazing how playing Babble leads to using your mind and memory in different ways. As with the tools, it works for all in another way, but I know what you me4.
6:15 am
sprite
general clue, lol: past-tense everything! Just found a weird one that way.
6:15 am
carleekat
i litterally feel pathways waking up ....
6:16 am
Trifioso
good morning friends! a very quick few minutes before the student onslaught begins....wondering -- how long do I babble before I am no longer "new?"
6:16 am
sprite
hi Trif! *hugs*
6:16 am
NonoNanette
hi Trif
6:16 am
Atalante
you're all new to me anD sPRITE :p
6:16 am
carleekat
i did not realise u are new trifs...u've been here quite a while... so.no longer new
6:16 am
NonoNanette
yes always try to past tense and plural
6:16 am
Trifioso
hugs all around right back!
6:16 am
sprite
that is for you to decide. To me, you are an 'old and de4' friend.
6:17 am
Trifioso
ohh, thanks sprite!
6:17 am
carleekat
ugh...am working this am... for crazy lawyer
6:17 am
sprite
lol yes Ata, true! Kallia not so much though. She is relatively old.
6:17 am
MollyL
I had no idea Babble was so "young". When I first started playing, 3 years ago, you all seemed like a very well established group.
6:17 am
NonoNanette
hi Molly
6:17 am
Trifioso
I just didn't want to appear to be cheeky, assuming I am a long-time babbler, or any such thing
6:18 am
sprite
hi Molly! The 'group' feeling has been rather strong in Babble for a long time now. But yes, Babble is a rather young game on the web.
6:19 am
MollyL
The "collective soul" here is very nice. I've been very impressed at how you all rally for your members when they are in need.
6:19 am
carleekat
its a lovely group molly
6:19 am
sprite
Ata precedes me, btw. She is the one who told me, when I was afraid to use any kind of help, that looking up the actual words is cheating... all the rest is research!
6:19 am
Atalante
yes, Kallia's old too! :P Not *that* far before you though Sprite!
6:20 am
sprite
it is a special community for sure.
6:20 am
carleekat
i remember when i first started i didnt realise there were "hleps" available..i brought out my huge oxford dictionary and started to scan....
6:20 am
Trifioso
me too molly. And I think I agree with sprite, to an extent -- I like the challenge of finding words without the list, but I really do appreciate the list on days when I want to finish a whole grid. and I CANNOT STAND the babblers who demand to be spoon fed, and won't use the list - drives me batty!
6:20 am
sprite
oh I did that too! Used my dictionary a lot in the beginning, not at all used to internet dictionaries.
6:20 am
sprite
see, Trif? You are an old soul :D
6:21 am
carleekat
i am somewhere in the middle of souls... not old..but not new either
6:21 am
Trifioso
sprite my love, we are kindred spirits through and through
6:21 am
sprite
we are, Trif.
6:22 am
sprite
it is great to see you in chog, btw, Molly
6:22 am
Trifioso
funny that soul age thing -- was just discussing this the other day. my oldest, a boy, is just clearly a very, very old soul, and my middle child JUST got here, and my youngest is somewhere in between the older two. I can't tell you how I know that, but somehow I just do.
6:23 am
MollyL
Thanks Spirte. I usually play from work and can't chat much but I'm off for a few days. Yay!
6:23 am
sprite
I know exactly what you me4. Same for my kids. Daughter is much much 'older' than son, even though he is 14 and she 12.
6:24 am
sprite
oh nice :D
Free time is so lovely. Especially when you can babble and chat!
6:24 am
Anniebrook
hi everyone. I do the grid without the list at first..see how words I can get then I depend on the list to finish. Babblers who like to be spoonfed drive me battty too.
6:24 am
carleekat
ok..gotta run peoples..have a lovely day
6:24 am
Trifioso
wow sprite, i never realized how close in age our children are!
6:24 am

bye for now, carlee, have a good day too
6:25 am
NonoNanette
bye Carlee, try to have a good day
6:25 am

we could be sisters, Trif. Silly universe got things mixed up when they put us continents apart.
6:25 am
Anniebrook
hi nono, sprite, trif!
6:25 am
Trifioso
carlee, you are the babbler who makes wine, is that correct?
6:26 am
Trifioso
actually, I read an AMAZING short story about that once - women who were oceans apart, and yet were connected in their thoughts by some fluke.
6:26 am
sprite
that must be a very special story

6:29 am

bye m9, have a good day
6:29 am
Kallia
hehe...I was making an addition to my bookcovers and only just saw it :)
6:30 am
Trifioso
whooo, careful there, sprite! "experienced" has a slightly different connotation here!
6:30 am
sprite
lol Trif! Well I guess I better stick to 'old' then... at least then I know how I am being offensive!
6:31 am
Trifioso
oh, how I miss those mornings when I got to relax and enjoy a nice long chog and babble! Don't get me wrong, I love my job, and I am happy to have one, but these early mornings are killing me! NOT a morning person....
6:32 am
crosshair
crossy also does not like mornings...ewww
6:33 am
sprite
argh, it is so tough to convince your body and mind that you have to be in another rhythm now. I am a morning person and I always had this severe dip around 15.00. Still do, but at home it doesn't matter much.
6:33 am
Trifioso
but look at your phantom today! bacon!
6:33 am
sprite
heyyyy crossy, lonng time no see! *hugs*
6:33 am
Trifioso
and speaking of work, I must away. But I am MOST sorry to leave you all.
6:33 am
NonoNanette
hi Crossy :)
6:33 am
crosshair
bacon? where?!
6:33 am
crosshair
((sprite))
6:33 am

lyn said you recently went through the whole ap5 testing thing... is that correct?
6:33 am
Kallia
afternoon crossy...that phrase was not found by the dictionary lol
6:33 am
Anniebrook
bye trif, have an easy day
6:33 am
NonoNanette
have a great day Trif!
6:34 am
crosshair
i have inded and have a cpcp machine now
6:34 am
sprite
my love has had the testing, will get the results at the end of this month. How does it work for you?
6:35 am
sprite
bye Trif, *hugssss*
6:35 am
crosshair
it works well and has saved my life i am sure,but there is a severe learning curved involved with using the machine and wearing the mask for the entire night,so be patient with your love
6:36 am
sprite
I will, promise. I cannot imagine sleeping while plugged into a machine, it must be really hard to get used to.
6:36 am
crosshair
and do not go cheap with the cpap machine you chose,get the mid range one
6:36 am
crosshair
bad news is 1000 dollars at least
6:37 am
sprite
ok, will remember. My love hopes he won't have to have the machine, he would much rather have an operation and be done with it.
6:37 am
crosshair
mine was 1700 with the full face mask set up
6:37 am
sprite
ouch, that is really expensive. Not ensured for that?
6:37 am
crosshair
the govt picked up 700,i payed 1000
6:38 am
sprite
still an awful lot of money, but you are worth every cent.
6:38 am
crosshair
and you can grow out of apnea,so i would think long and hard on the operation
6:39 am
sprite
my love is in his fifties, don't think he will grow out of anything anymore
6:39 am
sprite
maybe his trousers, lolllllll
6:39 am
crosshair
any inasive procedure should be avoided till there is no choice...scrabbs will agree
6:39 am
crosshair
invasive*
6:40 am
sprite
we will wait for what the doctors say first. As I understand it, some people will benefit from a machine while others should get an operation. Or even other measures.
6:40 am
crosshair
lol,thats my problem,grown out of my trowsers
6:40 am
sprite
yes, I think that is true. An operation is normally the last option.
6:40 am
crosshair
yes,listen to your doctor
6:41 am
sprite
lol I was kidding, my love isn't much overweight. Just a beer belly... beer muscles, as they call them here.
6:41 am
crosshair
here we call it a molson muscle,in honor of the company that placed it there
6:42 am
sprite
crossy, do you feel you do have more energy now?
6:42 am
crosshair
any alcohol,will worsen apnea as i am sure you know
6:43 am
crosshair
more energy and the doc says i have lessened my chance of heart attack and stroke
6:43 am
sprite
I have told him that too. But he loves his beer too much to listen to me. I hope he will listen to his doctor.
6:43 am
sprite
wow that is great! Can't be easy, crossy, but I am glad you did it!
6:44 am
crosshair
i have cut right back on hard booze and limit myself to 2 beer per day
6:44 am
sprite
my love doesn't drink hard booze at all, only beer, a couple of times a week.
6:44 am
crosshair
and even after 4 monbths,i am still only managing 50% with the mask all night long
6:45 am
sprite
is that bad? Sounds pretty good to me, for something so hard to get used to.
6:46 am
EspritdJean
I use a c-pap
6:46 am
crosshair
well as you know,it basically rams air down your nose or throat all night long,to keep things open so you do not choke or stop breathing
6:47 am
crosshair
and it can be a apin sometimes
6:47 am
sprite
hi Jean, does it work well for you?
6:47 am
sprite
I can imagine, crossy. Thanks for telling me. *hug*
6:48 am
crosshair
it works well,ill not deny its effectiveness,just a learning curve is all
6:48 am
EspritdJean
it's pretty much as crossy says
6:48 am
EspritdJean
a pain but keeps you from dying
6:49 am
crosshair
i prefer living at this point;)
6:49 am
EspritdJean
My mask has the nasal canula, could not stand the full mask
6:49 am
sprite
worth it, then.
6:49 am
crosshair
i was very,very close to a cardiac event,i was stopping breathing 40 times a night
6:50 am
crosshair
i need the full mask only cause my sinuses are shot
6:50 am

ys it is the Teulu wonder dog...
8:37 am
jmcnrick
The rush and pressure of modern life are a form, perhaps the most common form, of its innate violence. To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many demands, to commit oneself to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything is to succumb to violence. More than that it is cooperation in violence. The frenzy of the activist destroys the fruitfulness of her/his own work, because it kills the root of inner wisdom which makes work fruitful.
8:37 am

Good luck jmc, hope it all progressing swiftly and to its logical conclusion!

I suffer from neuropathy from when I broke my back, they are not sure if it was the break or the surgery to repair that caused it. Nothing worked for me, gabapentin did nothing. One of my doctors suggested benfotiamine. it is a natural supplement b vitamins. I take large doses 4-7 capsules a day, and it keeps things bearable. I told my friend about this she suffers as well from an nerve problem after knee surgery, and it has worked wll for her as well
8:43 am

hi everyone - hi m9 - I made a discovery yesterday - found a marriage certificate listed online (Church of Latter Day Saints IGI records) for 1905 in NYC!
3:00 pm
Pinikula
nice find, jbv! :)
3:00 pm
m9f9l
oh really!!!!! yay!
3:00 pm
Pinikula
Oh...that reminds me...I need to see if my GGM's pic is on this computer...brb
3:01 pm
JBV
I was surprised at how easy it was
3:01 pm
JBV
so that makes the passenger list of 1901 more and more likely
3:01 pm
m9f9l
I didn't have her name up at the library.. or I may have found that.. but I'm glad you did.. cause it's SO fun when you find something!
3:02 pm
JBV
Do you or anyone you know have an account at Ancestry.com and do you know if it's worth the expense - they're asking 19.95 per month or 12.95 per month if you sign up for a year I think
3:02 pm
m9f9l
I really think that's him too on the 1901 list.
3:03 pm
m9f9l
jbv.. there is probably a FHC near you.. and they are free and they will have an account. only thing is you have to be there to work.. but plus side there's folks there to help you!
3:04 pm
JBV
oh I didn't know that - I'll check it out - I live in central NJ
3:04 pm
phandmd
I just popped on. Was at one time doing geneology stuff, didn't get far...But what is FHC?
3:04 pm
m9f9l
family history center.
3:05 pm
phandmd
so, what you just google that and your town to see if there is something close by?
3:05 pm
m9f9l
you should look into it again phan.. more stuff online all the time!
3:05 pm
JBV
oh my goodness, there's one right here in East Brunswick!
3:06 pm
JBV
m9 you are a godsend - I had no idea where to look or where to go
3:06 pm
m9f9l
and familysearch is free.
3:06 pm
m9f9l
there you go!
3:06 pm
phandmd
The problem is my family is from Germany, and my husband's is from England. We are both naturalized US citizens
3:06 pm
m9f9l
ah! that may be a bit harder.. but you never know.. you may just have to go a little ways and find someone who's already done a bunch of the work..
3:07 pm
phandmd
I do have a family tree done on my mom's side, but I am fairly certain it is not accurate.
3:07 pm
Pinikula
Nope...not on this computer either (will have to try my desktop at home)
3:07 pm
phandmd
There is a famous person on that tree that according to published books he didn't have any surviving sons...
3:08 pm
phandmd
so, he can't be in the direct line
3:08 pm
phandmd
as the family tree says
3:09 pm
Pinikula
I have an account with ancestry.com...I've only paid a fee when I know I have a lot of down time (so a month-at-a-time); otherwise I find myself paying for something that I don't use enough to justify...
3:09 pm
m9f9l
but..no surviving past what age?
3:09 pm
Pinikula
...there are plenty of other resources to find before expending $ (IMHO)
3:10 pm
phandmd
childhood ...
3:10 pm
m9f9l
exactly pini
3:10 pm
phandmd
I should talk to my aunt to see if she wants to help me with it...
3:10 pm
m9f9l
where do you live phan?
3:11 pm
phandmd
I live in maryland (central)
3:11 pm
m9f9l
yes.. it's fun to work with someone else.
3:11 pm
phandmd
and my aunt is in Germany...
3:11 pm
Pinikula
I have almost 60K names in my database...documentation and resources for a good portion of those in my direct line...
3:12 pm
JBV
My family tree was very sketchy and one-sided until we struck up this recent correspondence with my cousin in Italy - we passed it back and forth a few times and filled in a lot of blank spaces
3:12 pm
phandmd
cool! I am sure there must be a way I can research overseas stuff here, but I have no idea how to find those places
3:12 pm
phandmd
how cool is that JBV!
3:13 pm
m9f9l
Annapolis Baltimore Columbia Cumberland Frederick Hampstead Hancock Lexington salisbury Seneca Suitland DC and White Plains all have FHC's
3:13 pm
JBV
very cool, phan - if you haven't seen my story, check my profile
3:13 pm
Pinikula
You might consider finding a "research group" you can exchange communications with...for example, I am considered a "German from Russia" and work with member of the Germans from Russia Heritage Society (GRHS) based in North Dakota...they have been a godsend!
3:14 pm

M9, Thank you I will look into it!
3:16 pm
m9f9l

you can also just go straight to the new site: familysearch.org
3:17 pm

nope, For some reason what I typed didn't print in chat! I said: It's a good thing it's a short grid then (since you're not 1/2 way yet)
6:05 pm
Nef
SLOW response with chog too!
6:05 pm
jmcnrick
lol i often co** in, in the last two hours
6:05 pm
jmcnrick
i never got the chog to print nothing
6:06 pm
jmcnrick
same to you lol :-P
6:08 pm
Nef
How are you doing. jmc? I've got to be at work by 6 AM (for clinic) tomorrow, so am glad this is going easy for me today
6:09 pm
Nef
Good for you!
6:09 pm
jmcnrick
i am doing okay. could use more money at the center of course, but other than that okay
6:09 pm
jmcnrick
do you work that shift often?
6:09 pm
Nef
same problem where I work. I guess all non-profits are like that these days
6:10 pm
jmcnrick
not losing too much income is the new up for nonprofits
6:11 pm
Nef
We have 2 Friday clinics/ month. *I* try not to schedule anyone for the first time slot; but my partner does (and she doesn't co** in til 9:30! if someone is scheduled for 7AM).
6:13 pm
Nef
And it ends up being a 12 hour day for me on Firdays, then
6:13 pm
jmcnrick
well that is rude!
6:14 pm
herinfernallady
Hello
6:14 pm
jmcnrick
hi herin
6:14 pm
Nef
My job is the health history and teaching and prep for the CNM visit and physical. My partner does the lab draws, etc.
6:15 pm
herinfernallady
Waves hello
6:15 pm
jmcnrick
ah then that makes a little more sense
6:15 pm
jmcnrick
*waves back*
6:16 pm
herinfernallady
Nef that sounds rather unprofessional not to turn up to the first appointment
6:16 pm
herinfernallady
Hi Mr Pav
6:16 pm
herinfernallady
I have a question how does one get out old oil out of the boot of ones car?
6:17 pm
jmcnrick
change the carpet
6:18 pm
PAV3
wouldn"t you use sand or something to soak up the oil and then vacuum it up?
6:18 pm
herinfernallady
Um it isn't in the carpet. It is in the well of the car
6:19 pm
Nef
And we have a case worker and a receptionist. so the 5 of us (including the CNM) are the whole clinic. Our clients are there for 3 hours; they see me, the cnm, the case worker and the lab in that tiem. We usually see 6-8 clients on Fridays; 15-24 on Wednesdays (but those aren't the "NewOB" visits; they're just regular OB visits
6:19 pm
jmcnrick
then pav's idea makes sense
6:19 pm
PAV3
and how is mi'Lady otherwise?
6:19 pm
herinfernallady
Pav I was thinking that. Wont that stuff the vacuum if the oil gets loose?
6:20 pm
herinfernallady
I am without $$$ himself has my card
6:20 pm
Nef
I'm lost; what is the well of the car?
6:20 pm
redturtlehead
oh hi nef herin jmc pav, i took a short break...
6:20 pm
PAV3
the trunk space Nef
6:21 pm
Nef
I thought that was the boot?
6:21 pm
jmcnrick
it is a generic term for the space under the carpet in the passenger ar** or boot
6:21 pm
redturtlehead
the well usually refers to cars that are like vans or hatchbacks and have that recessed area under the carpet...
6:22 pm
herinfernallady
Shoot sorry I couldn't think of the word for the rear of the car.
6:22 pm
Nef
Okay. I learn something new here every day! :-)
6:22 pm
jmcnrick
but if you use a shop or wet vac the sand and oil shouldn't hurt it
6:23 pm
herinfernallady
Where your spare tire sits that bit under the tire is the well. It is doing a good job being a well
6:23 pm
jmcnrick
of course we do have our language differences! lol
6:23 pm
herinfernallady
Thanks

They were fun to do.
9:54 pm

Jac..it's quite alright to speak to one's self, it's the answering that signals trouble...
9:55 pm
PAV3
soory, I had stepped away to check emails...
9:55 pm
Jacula
PAV - hmm - as an only child, a surviving twin, I do sometimes answer myself. Or my twin does. Uh oh! Nut job!
9:56 pm
jmcnrick
*moves slightly away from jac*
9:56 pm
PAV3
and my response has always been, "I was looking for answers from the only other intelligent being present"...
9:57 pm
Jacula
Mind you, I was not told about the twin thing until my late 30s. Before then, I just thought I had a Jiminy Cricket thing going on. LOL
9:57 pm

fireworks! thanks all for the help.
9:57 pm

Well done, big red.

PAV3
such long lasting sweetness, that's Big Red! yay!
9:58 pm

jmc - No. I didn't have mixed feelings, I was relieved to know why I'd always felt as I had, like part of me was missing.
9:58 pm

Congratulations big red on your fireworks! Way to go
9:59 pm

oh okay i thought there might be a sense of renewed loss
9:59 pm
jmcnrick
but having never had the experience i wouldn't know obviously
9:59 pm
Jacula
No, not at all, jmc. Though, of course I wondered about my non-identical twin. Boy or girl?
10:00 pm
Jacula
Boy, I think. Don't know why.
10:00 pm
jmcnrick
did they not know?
10:01 pm
Jacula
No, jmc. Mum had lots of bleeding in first 3 or 4 months. It was only when I was born, so she told me when I was in my late 30s, that they questioned the size of her placenta and asked her if she'd had an abortion. She had not.
10:02 pm
jmcnrick
how interesting (if i may say so -- hope i am not being too nosy!)
10:02 pm
Jacula
This was back in 1956. Scans etc., weren't around then.
10:03 pm
Jacula
They had to go by what could be felt, and at that stage, you might not feel 2 babies.
10:04 pm
jmcnrick
they knew my siblings were twins before they were born because they could hear two hearts but i know that did not always happen
10:04 pm
Jacula
One thing I've never understood was how women can suddenly give birth not realising they were pregnant. There really is no feeling like that of a baby in the womb kicking you or turning somesaults in there.

jmc - a writers' course or holiday is far better. You can escape the madness when you want to. On a ship, you are imprisoned.
