Ah. Sorry to hear that, ChuggaBOOM! Have had lifelong battles with depression and anxiety attacks, so understand about that. Yes, it's treatable.
12:14 am
ChuggaBOOM!
i went literally a week without sleep.. i just couldnt do it.. and lack of sleep causes paranoia and paranoia causes lack of sleep (or in my case NO sleep) so it was a vicious cycle

Anxiety and panic attacks are no fun - but they are controllable with medication. Had to be on it for years, in order to control them.
12:18 am
westford
that's a Yay josh !!
12:18 am
joshuavorbis
exercise was a huge help in my dealing with anxiety, for what it's worth
12:18 am
J. C.
Yes - healthy diet and exercise and getting proper sleep are all helpful.
12:18 am
J. C.
It really is - I took up rowing and it really did help.
12:18 am
joshuavorbis
any outlet that helps calm you down (in this case, through exertion) makes a big difference

i hope! ive realized i have a panic disorder towards the idea of sleep or lack thereof, so i dont know i just hope my panic will eventually subside without the meds at some point again... ive beeen through almost the same thing when i was 10
12:20 am

I could use a clue for the Q, volley -
12:24 am
jillibus
that Q has me buffaloed, dee...
12:24 am
joshuavorbis
only one vowel in the word
12:24 am
VolleymomDee
qu 5/18... qu + the word for heavy traffic (... hour) minus the vowel
12:25 am
dizgrannie
with the QU only vowel is the U, if that helps
12:25 am
joshuavorbis
so you technically don't have to use any vowels since there's a u in the Q tile
12:25 am
Erda
the next letter in the Q word is R
12:25 am
J. C.
I think it probably will, Chug - as it did with me over the years. You are only young yet, yes - mine didn't start to noticably subside until I was in my thirties - it really subsided a lot throughout my forties, until I was finally able to come off the medications. I would try cutting them back every so often with my doctor's approval, to see how I managed on lower dosages. You are at the age where it was worst for me, so hang in there! It was very managable with medications during that time...

I generally look at Sprite's. It helps if I have the correct day. lol
12:35 am

I have done so - I thought your icon was leftover from yesterday - I should know by now, you're always up-to-date on your icons.
12:36 am
westford
jilli I love those old wedding photos with the man seated
12:36 am
jillibus
I just copy Sprite's into mine, so that people who aren't there for sprite's time zone can see what the themes are.
12:36 am

and your grandmother was a beautiful woman
12:37 am
westford
I put Sprite in my friends..I'm seldom on when she is
12:37 am

thanks, west -- she must have been courageous too.
12:37 am

it's a treat when I am though she's such a dear
12:38 am
westford
oh definitely jilli
12:38 am
jillibus
Yes, west, putting Sprite in your My Friends is a good idea, but there are many here who are never up when sprite is online so they can't do so.

12:48 am
rururocks
no.. I haven't done that one yet
12:48 am
jillibus
I'd like a term which is more original and less "stolen" than gay. What about that old "gay Lothario"? Wasn't he a hetero?
12:48 am
westford
the vet recommended that the dog ( a rotty ) be put down. So the man sat with her until she died, took her home to bury her and when he went to get her she was at her food dish

Many years ago I read an artical by a gay man, who said if they were called gays, heretosexuals should be called drears -- I like taht idea.

12:50 am

I still haven't found that bldy Q word, grrr.
12:50 am

the vet put the dog down, pronounced her dead, the guy took dog home and she revived

Putting an animal down is the worst .. the most terrible thing

oh no, it's true
12:51 am

are you going to breed from him later Ruru?
1:07 am
jillibus
well, there have been famous dysplastics, although I'm sure he wasn't. We were ridiculed by top Dane people in the early 70s for insisting on hip X-ays.
1:07 am

Yay JC !!
1:07 am

YAY JC!!! Genius!

Hardly, Jill - many have already finished. :P

Time I was elsewhere - poof!
1:08 am
jillibus
But you've been chatting too, JC
1:08 am
rururocks
we may.. he needs to have the right things to make that decision lynxxx.. if he is just a nice boy I will likely neuter him.. if he finishes quickly and does well in obedience.. I'll have second thoughts.
1:09 am
jillibus
ruru is a great dog person
1:09 am
westford
take care JC
1:10 am
lynxxx
and he can earn his "points' by just doing obedience - you don't need to show him as well?
1:10 am
rururocks
I am a good dog person jilli.. thanks
1:10 am
rururocks
no.. they are two different things lynxxx.
1:10 am
rururocks
Show is a beauty pagent..
1:11 am
lynxxx
and I am sure he is already "just a nice boy" with Ruru being his "dad"
1:11 am
rururocks
He has to have great conformation (which he seems to have) and good movement and coat.
1:11 am
jillibus
show is a judgement about whether conformation and type are good enough for reproduction.
1:11 am
rururocks
Obedience we do together and his trainability and intelligence are bigger factors
1:12 am
rururocks
We are really bonding lately
1:12 am
rururocks
he also is settling down and is more managable
1:12 am

of course, sorry
2:21 am
sprite
you can do it, Christine!
2:22 am
Christine
I know, it's a pain - but my Mother never allowed anyone to shorten our names. My daughter is Vanessa, and herr Dad's 2nd wife taught the children to call her Nessy
2:23 am
sprite
ouch! Like the Loch Ness monster, lol. And it is no pain at all, didn't know you disliked it. Won't do it again.
2:24 am
Christine
Y'know, y're a gbood girl.
2:24 am
Christine
a good girl, too.
2:24 am
sprite
;) Only when I am not a bad one.
2:24 am
grandy
I feel the same way about Louise which is my proper name....
2:25 am
sprite
they call you Lou? I can imagine you're not happy with that.
2:26 am
grandy
I have never liked Lou or louie or weezie... Just Louise....
2:26 am
Christine
I think a lot of Americans especially shorten names as a sigh of friendship. Maybe they do in England, now - it's almost 50years since I lived there, so I'm sure everything has changed.
2:26 am
sprite
Weezie??? My... sounds like one of Snow White's little admirers, grin.
2:26 am
Christine
Weezie was George Jefferson's wife.
2:27 am
grandy
That's right... I would just tell everyone... i do not look a bit like her ...LOL
2:27 am
sprite
I tend to shorten long names from people I like. Sort of cordial thing. Or for expediency's sake, sometimes, when babblers call themselves things as momneedshelp or something.
2:28 am
grandy
when typing I tend to shorten too... some names jus t need to be shortened... some can not .. my new nephews name is phoenix...
2:29 am
Christine
My son-in-law is Christopher, and I'm the only one that doesn't call him Chris. Except once - it just slipped out of my mouth and he doesn't let me forget it - two years ago.
2:29 am
sprite
grin, phoen is nothing, nix is worse.
2:29 am
sprite
awwww the elephant memory type
2:30 am
Christine
My Mother used to say if I wanted you called .... I'd've Christianed you that name.
2:30 am
grandy
This little chat is helping... this grid is twisty and too short
2:30 am
Christine
OMGos --- Christened
2:31 am
sprite
my full name is Cassandra and almost nobody calls me that. But I don't mind. I just don't listen to Sandra, for personal reasons. All the rest is ok with me.
2:31 am
grandy
then my husband says he did not know is name was not "shut up" until he was 6 LOL
2:31 am
Christine
OMGosh -- I think I need more caffeine.
2:31 am
sprite
I thought your mother really said it like that, Christine, I thought it brilliant.
2:31 am
sprite
*giggles* That is funny, grandy
2:32 am
grandy
but then he always says he walked up hill both ways to school....
2:33 am
Christine
Oh, speaking of names, my former husband is a Southerner - lots of initials instead of names, and things like that. When WWII broke out, Jack's uncle went to enlist, and was told to bring his birt certificate, which he did. The Maarine enlistment officer suggested he might want to get it changed, since it said Baby .
2:34 am
Christine
Oh drat --- it said Baby Boy, and whatever was his surname.
2:34 am
grandy
that is better than my cousin who is sour moss then sir name
2:35 am
sprite
argh! That is some name. In the old days, people here might even have names like (translated) Sweetie or Girl or Boy.
2:35 am
sprite
Sour Moss? Ok, some people!
2:35 am
Christine
Sour Moss is a name ?
2:35 am
grandy
I imagine alcohol was involved somewhere... and legal too.
2:36 am
sprite
why do that to your child, I wonder. I have told this before, but maybe not to you: we used to have neighbours with the last name of Olie (=Oil).
The man was Peter. And he named his daughter Petra.
2:37 am
grandy
he probalby had rich thoughts for her...
2:37 am
Christine
Do you remember when Dynasty was on tv - all sorts of weird names - I opened a bank account for a woman's baby - Raven Krystal and about four other soap opera names -- strange people.
2:37 am
sprite
I sometimes wonder if he had thoughts at all. If you have lived through the harassement yourself, why do it to your daughter as well?
2:38 am
grandy
soap operas generate a lot of names... so do books etc....
2:38 am
sprite
Raven krystall, ouch. I know someone who gave her daughter a name from each major religion. Also unbearable for a child.
2:39 am
Christine
And what about that rich man in the 1800s, his name was Hogg, and he named one of his daughters Ima. Unkind.
2:40 am
grandy
down to 10 and just guessing for the last two
2:41 am

I have 12 left and really digging here
2:44 am

cannot seem to figure out the Q word, lol
2:45 am
sprite
ah, asking is finding... weird one
2:48 am
Christine
Just googled it, and apparently the man (Governor of Texas) wasn't being unkind - Ima is short for Imogene, but he gave her the shortened version.
2:49 am
sprite
still unkind with a last name like that
2:51 am
Christine
On google it said her Grandfather heard about it, and rushed into town, but was too late to stop it. She was a very wealthy woman who gave much time and money to doing good works.
2:52 am

Grandpa had more sense than the father, at least.

BerniceQ
Good morning all. Can someone give me the stats for the R5?
8:42 am
tceicher
all of the sh words have the first four letters
8:42 am
BerniceQ
mside, do you have the SH7? Is that the one you need?
8:43 am
msideb01
I do not, got a clue for me? pretty please? I've got the r4 and am working on the r5, by the way

Good morning.

msideb01
morning!
9:13 am
Nef
How are you today msideb? You ARE an addict I see! :-D
9:15 am
Nef
Join the club! Although I've learned that I have to stay away from Babble when I work these days (which is why I wasn't here the past 2 days)
9:17 am
msideb01
Yes, I'm a bit of a wordaholic
9:17 am
msideb01
Yes, I'm a bit of a wordaholic
9:18 am
Nef
nice to see young wordaholics these days. :-)
9:20 am
msideb01
Call it a rebellion against the bastardization of grammar and language in which my internet-speaking peers are so deeply entrenched
9:22 am
Nef
Nice! I hope you win! ;-) I'm tired of the monosyllabic text responses that are showing up in public media these days too.
9:23 am
Nef
(Sorry for the slow response, my hubby -known as DH- just interrupted me because the cat got sick)
9:26 am
msideb01
Yuck. My parents have cats... sick cats are no fun. Amen to that though. Nobody speaks like they used to in the old days, being coy using wordplay and tricky syntax and grammar to tactfully or expressively say something... like Charles Dickens, for example.
9:27 am
rururocks
RU kidding.. I h8 that too
9:27 am
Nef
ruru! You would do that! :-)
9:28 am
msideb01
Well played, ruru. haha
9:29 am
valle
they say that "fest" isn't a word, but isn't it?
9:29 am
Nef
I'm actually allergic to cats; but my daughter lives with us and it's her cat. She's a pretty decent cat most of the time; and has been "paper trained" to hack up on paper towels normally; but you do have to catch her in the act
9:29 am
msideb01
Allegedly it isn't a word; however, I refuse to believe that.
9:30 am
bogster
how about the sh5/12 for less hair
9:30 am
valle
lol, ah, okay!
9:30 am
msideb01
Haha, that's better that these two cats. Generally good, but they leave little vomit land mines occasionally and you never ever catch them in the act.
9:31 am
Nef
according to the dictionary that's used here it isn't a word; but that dictionary doesn't recognize other common words either
9:33 am
wht
It is a common mistake to confuse Enable with English. Any similarity is strictly coincidental.
9:33 am
Nef
doesn't work in this box or the add word box bogster
9:34 am
Nef
LOL, wht! You hit the nail on the head! :-)
9:37 am
wht
Does anyone have a clue for the qu5?
9:38 am
msideb01
q + what you do when you're in a hurry, but rearrange the first two letters
9:38 am
Nef
I don't wht. I was just asking for a clue for the qu myself!
9:39 am
Nef
huh! New word for me! Thanks msideb
9:41 am
wht
Now I can get back to work.
9:42 am
Jellen
Good morning!
9:44 am
Nef
bye wht. Hi Jellen
9:45 am
Nef
Who is in your icon today, Jellen?
9:46 am
Jellen
Hi, Nef...it was my maternal grandparents, but I just changed it...
9:47 am
Nef
Oh! Guess I'll refresh then. They look like a sweet couple!
9:47 am
Jellen
Now it's Edgar and the Babble bear, along with Fluffy, a present from my niece...
9:48 am
Jellen
They were a swell couple from what I've heard...I never knew my grandfather...he died when I was very young...
9:49 am
Nef
your profile pic still shows your grandparents; but I saw the icon pic in your Flicker shots
9:51 am
Jellen
I need to get moving...I have exterminators coming this morning...
9:51 am
Nef
"it will change later on i think" was not found in the dictionary FUDGE!~ wrong box again! At least I won't be sent to the PB by the grid, though! :-D
9:52 am
Nef
Eww! Have fun!
9:52 am
Jellen
See you later! Are you off work today?
9:53 am
Nef
yes, I'm off and LAZY! Worked til 11 PM on a grant proposal last night after clinic.
9:53 am
Nef
Have a good day!
9:54 am
Jellen
Good for you...I'll be back after they get here...
9:55 am
Nef
bye for now; good luck getting rid of whatever you need to!

crosshair
good morning! how is everyone this amazing day? the sun is shining and has burnt off the last of our morning frost and the sun is shining on the hill spotlighting all our trees fall colours:) all the apples are now being harvested and the air is tinged with the smell of apples and wood smoke from the first evening fires of the year:)
9:59 am
msideb01
no6/21 is plural of the vertical cardinal direction on a compass
10:00 am
Nef
se 6/18 is a type of dog (a hunting dog I think); the qu 5 is q + anagram for in a hurry; but I don't have the no 6 yet
10:00 am
tceicher
oops, need the first se 6/18
10:00 am
msideb01
Well crossy, you seem to be in a most chipper mood this morning! It is most certainly a gorgeous fall day outside
10:01 am
Nef

10:02 am
tceicher

Sadly, my office has no windows, so I can't enjoy it as much as I'd like to, but nevertheless I hope it will be nice at least for a little while before the Nor'easter gets here
10:03 am
Nef
WTG, valle! YAY!!!
10:03 am

LuwandaHL
grandchild distracted me
10:31 am
Jellen
The cats do the same thing to me!
10:33 am
crosshair
the best way i can describe folding at home is the professors at stanford U have created a way to harness our spare and unused computer bandwidth cycles and put them all together to work as a single unit to "fold" human proteins and try and map the changes in cancerous and non cancerous "folds" in this way we can better understand it and eventually alter it before cancer evolves.the web site at folding at home will explaing it better than i can
10:34 am
crosshair
i am running the program now on a low powered 1.6 gig computer,so anyone can do it
10:35 am
crosshair
though faster computer can unlock more protiens per day

Phantom: Hornet.
10:35 am
crosshair
ok ill stop the shameless plug now lol
10:36 am
crosshair
but i will do this once per day till i see 100 babblers in our group
10:41 am
crosshair
of faster computers you can open up the display and watch your computer fold a protein in real time,but anything less that a 2 gig machine i reccomend you just leave it running in the task bar and not worry bout the display
10:41 am
crosshair
kk i am really done now

in the automtive parts shops you can find special stems for your tire type and you buy them to macth you optimal tire pressure,and they have a tiny thing on the end that is green when your pressue is good and goes red when you need air.they run about 10 dollars a 4 pack.very handy

11:10 am
MollyL
Hooray for Jellen for knowing who Neil Peart is. One of the worlds best drummers.
11:12 am
Jellen
A friend in Rio de Janeiro saw them for his 25th time last week!
11:15 am

People who love that band are rabid about them. I love Peart's drumming, Geddy's voice, not so much.

12:05 pm
Gеогgе

12:06 pm
EvaNadine
jellen -- my father named me after the MGM musical High Society, which is the musical version of the philadelphia story!

12:06 pm
LeslieAnn

12:06 pm
Gеогgе
that coulda meant 'higher', LeslieAnn!!
12:07 pm
Gеогgе
what most would think!
12:09 pm
Jellen
Oh, the phrase, Hullo, George invariably takes me back to the scene where Stewart is carry Hepburn back from the pool and they run into her fiance...cracks me up!
12:10 pm
Jellen
I'm easily amused...

12:13 pm
Gеогgе
yeah, that's a good idea, Jellen--and on a tile floor!
12:13 pm
Nef
in a way, I'm sure it's amusing: she makes a sound, I run and grab a paper towel and run to put it in front of her in time (I think she's having fun teasing me! She hasn't urped for the past half hour, but she does seem to be amuzed!)
12:13 pm

Trifs. Never dismiss it accept it as it is and was. Reflect on what you have learned and created. Be sad that you are not going to have those milstones. But more importantly accept that you are a person and are allowed to feel like this. Validate feelings
8:41 pm
Trifioso
