2:49 am

negativeneil

Oh sprite, my apologies for Sat. morning. My company woke up so I returned... and fell asleep for a while. Sorry to leave you hanging like that!

2:49 am

negativeneil

And hi again, mrp. :)

2:50 am

sprite

yeah :( I know, it is hard. But good about the routine. You need some, so you won't be drained all the time. *hugs* and know that I am thinking of you all.

2:50 am

negativeneil

That will probably happen for some time yet, mrp... sorry to say. It won't be easy.

2:50 am

2:52 am

2:53 am

sprite

will keep my fingers crossed for you, mrP

2:53 am

negativeneil

Eyes, I mean? lol

2:54 am

mrpresident

and the living areas are perfect, as are the sizes of the bedrooms, and all rooms lead out to outdoor living areas... that are just gorgeous! makes for a nicer environment to be able to walk outside and have a beautiful garden to go to

2:55 am

negativeneil

Definitely, mrp.

2:55 am

negativeneil

Sounds very nice... hope you can get it!

2:55 am

mrpresident

yes, let's pray for it all to come through.

2:55 am

sprite

sounds like heaven. You'd get a lot of healing there, just from walking out and being outdoors.. lots of freedom.

2:55 am

negativeneil

Amen to that.

2:56 am

sprite

I'd say the big guy up there owes you a couple!

3:25 am

mrpresident

i make enough for a small army hunny! :))

3:25 am

sprite

I really wish you weren't living on the other side of da planet :)

3:27 am

mrpresident

same sprite... i would love to move to europe... am seriously thinking about retiring in europe

3:28 am

sprite

I would like it if you did... but wouldn't you feel unrooted here? No family, no friends... might be lonely in the beginning.

3:29 am

mrpresident

i am talking about 10 years down the track... kids need to be finished with education, independent and self sufficient enough to visit once in a while!! I remember as a young girl going to europe every year to spend time with my grandparents... was fantastic memoried

3:30 am

mrpresident

and if i have ever felt uprooted, this has been the time.... so anything is possible now :)

3:31 am

sprite

yeah I can understand that. Well, if you do, be sure to let me know... and be sure to pick a country not too far from me! I promise we will come and visit.

3:31 am

mrpresident

i am lucky though sprite... lickety is recovering, and wanting to do everything possible to keep us together. That shows amazing theme to his life story now.

3:32 am

sprite

I had a feeling he would, hun. His love is true. It will be a hell of a battle, but if any two people might manage it, it is the two of you.

3:33 am

dcseain

i was guessing that would be the case, as overall your relationship seemed strong. May his recovery be full.

3:34 am

mrpresident

thank you both dcs and sprite :) it is hard... it is sometimes overwhelming, but it is fact. we are finding our way

3:34 am

rubyfoo

good morning. What a surprise, a huge grid on Monday!

3:35 am

dcseain

morning, ruby

3:35 am

sprite

hi rubyfoo :)

3:36 am

mrpresident

i also know some people will be thinking I am an idiot for letting him back in, however, the children are all that matter, and as long as he is making good with them and proving his story to them, I will support him. I am his wife... his support. They are his children... they look up to him. I have to give it a chance.

3:36 am

dcseain

indeed, mrp, and pray it go well for all of you.

3:37 am

sprite

for better and for worse, hun, very true. And no, I don't think you are an idiot. I think you both have been through a lot of rough times, and people can do crazy stuff when the stress gets too much. Trying to heal together is the best thing you can do. Not the easiest, but the best.

3:37 am

mrpresident

thanks dcs... you are very kind to me

3:38 am

sprite

fireflies. Good grid. Stupid biggie or 3.

3:38 am

mrpresident

thank you sprite, you know what it is like to have strategies go wrong... no matter how pure the intention. I just want healing and good... like you.

I am excellent at one dish meals... can put stuff together in a minute and have a result that makes everyone lick the bowl

3:50 am

rubyfoo

"one-dish meals from down under"

3:50 am

mrpresident

we have got meals that are australian (come from english cooking) but can make them so much easier.

3:50 am

rubyfoo

"quick one-dish meals"

3:50 am

mrpresident

i might give it a go ruby :))

3:51 am

mrpresident

i think one dish meals are smart!

3:51 am

rubyfoo

and surely somebody in babbleland knows a publisher....

3:51 am

mrpresident

ah, a publisher! that would also help :)

3:52 am

negativeneil

You can easily find them or anyone/anything else online, ruby... good old Google.

3:52 am

mrpresident

I have been writing my own recipes since 1992... have so many. I would luv to publish them

3:52 am

negativeneil

Oh really, mrp? Then you should... write a cookbook!

3:55 am

I said that to mrp, ruby.

3:55 am

negativeneil

About writing the cookbook, that is.

3:56 am

negativeneil

Yeah, looking for a publisher... don't mind me, I'm way beyond tired at this point.

4:07 am

dcseain

tamarillo is a tomato-related fruit

4:07 am

negativeneil

Oh, haha! Check your email, ruby?

4:07 am

rubyfoo

to be eaten raw or cooked?

4:07 am

negativeneil

I thought so, Seain... since it's a nightshade also.

4:07 am

negativeneil

Raw, I'd say.

4:08 am

negativeneil

But you could probably cook it if you wanted.

4:08 am

dcseain

usually made into salsa, usually cooked, but they may be eaten raw

4:08 am

negativeneil

Oh yeah? Wasn't sure.

4:08 am

dcseain

they're the prime ingredient in Mexican salsa verde

4:09 am

rubyfoo

sounds like it could go into a chili con carne (which I happen to be making for dinner)

4:09 am

negativeneil

Oh. Shows what I [don't] know!

4:09 am

negativeneil

Probably!

4:09 am

negativeneil

Uhhh, ruby? Think you missed it twice, but check your email?

4:09 am

dcseain

indeed so, ruby, chop it fine w/out mincing and put it right in fairly early in the cooking process

4:11 am

negativeneil

Do a mail check, ruby? Or check your junk folder?

7:05 am

boatierra

I don't think I've ever used ph 4/6 in a sentence in my life (other than right now). "Man, that is PH**!" Nope, never.

7:06 am

car.eeyore

Do you feel any different?

7:06 am

car.eeyore

I have only used it to make fun of it.

7:06 am

boatierra

LOL!

7:07 am

boatierra

Only in the sense that I am too much of a geek to every try and properly use the word ph**. So I guess I feel more geeky :)

7:08 am

boatierra

"I have only used it to make fun of it." - Agreed.

7:08 am

car.eeyore

Never understood that word.

7:10 am

boatierra

Using ph** is like using 'sick' instead of using 'cool'. I just stick with cool. I could go really retro and say 'aces' but I don't think I could bring myself to do it without laughing at myself.

7:10 am

car.eeyore

Neato! Groovy!

7:22 am

sometimes i have to add one of those aerochambers:(

7:22 am

car.eeyore

I was just wondering if it could be related. It is rather high up in my cheek, so I don't think I bit my cheek...but maybe.

7:22 am

negativeneil

I have done as a kid but outgrew the need, fortunately. It was allergy-related and I don't have as much of a problem now, for some reason.

7:22 am

car.eeyore

Virus?!?! Stress??!?!?! Me?!??!?

Wahoo! Way to go Crossy!

7:24 am

Canker sores are usually brought on/out due to some kind of stress, either physical or mental (physical like a break in the membrane in the mouth). The sore itself can be treated with OTC products, (I'm sure you well know).

Mom, I absolutely love that bean soup. If I pay you, and I mean pay you back, would you send me two packages of the beans. I cannot get those beans here.

7:33 am

boatierra

What kind of beans?

7:33 am

carleekat

we have been gently lobbing the ball into eachother's court for the last few weeks... and...its nice.. not sure if i want it to lead anywhere..but it is nice having adult conversation that is not about criminal law

7:33 am

Anniebrook

I have used others and it is not the same.

7:33 am

Mom

I would gladly send you the beans.

7:33 am

car.eeyore

I am excited for you! Keep me posted! Just enjoy!

7:33 am

Patxxx

Excuse me for butting in. I use Atrovent and Seretide inhalers, about 35 years now. A couple of weeks ago a young girl working at the local pharmacy said 'always clean your teeth or swill out your mouth after using the inhalers as they can cause mouth sores'. This is the very first time I have been told that and sometimes I did develope mouth sores!!! Got a sick cat, got to go...

7:33 am

Mom

They are white beans, Boat

7:34 am

Mom

oh Patxxx, never made the connection. Thanks. So sorry about the cat.

7:34 am

navy or the small white?

7:34 am

carleekat

who has a canker sore?

7:34 am

Anniebrook

Mom, you are a sweetheart. I called the company that packages the beans and they will send me a case of 36 packages. A bit too much so I begged off.

7:34 am

Mom

small white beans

7:34 am

boatierra

Mmmm, white beans, good choice :)

7:35 am

car.eeyore

<--- back from rinsing!

7:35 am

7:35 am

7:35 am

Riverdance

I use those for baked beans when I can not get the navy beans

7:35 am

Mom

when I bought them I bought 24 bags

7:35 am

carleekat

ok..this is what i do..it hurts like a Son of BITCh whilst u do it..but they heal so fast

7:36 am

Anniebrook

Mom, I dont remember but I know it was not navy. I think Old Kentucky beans, does that sound right?

7:36 am

carleekat

my kids even endure the pain it works so well

7:36 am

boatierra

I'm a big fan of black beans and my mom introduced me to pink beans but those are sometimes hard to find.

7:36 am

Mom

Annie, the beans are next to nothing in cost but if you insist, you can pay the postage

7:37 am

Mom

it is called Kentucky Bean Soup

7:37 am

Riverdance

just got NBT whoohooo

7:37 am

carleekat

take n unlit match... and put the sulforous end right on the canker ( u WILL cry) until u cant feel it...u wont feel it for rest of day..by tomorrow just a heeled over pit..by wed..gone

7:37 am

car.eeyore

Yeah River!!!!!

7:37 am

car.eeyore

Good lord Carlee! I don't know if I can do that....

7:37 am

Riverdance

seems a little drastic...think I will live with the sore

7:37 am

car.eeyore

Is this recipe available to others?!?!?!

7:37 am

carleekat

i know it sounds absurd... but it works... and i go for every time...so do my kids...

7:38 am

carleekat

the 1 min of pain...is worth not hving that nnoying sting for 3 or 4 days

7:38 am

car.eeyore

tempting.....

7:38 am

Mom

I use Orabase by Colgate. It puts a film over the sore and it heals pretty quick

7:38 am

carleekat

my a key is not happy...

7:38 am

carleekat

it really does work....

7:39 am

carleekat

( we dont have that here annie )

7:39 am

Mom

what recipe, Car.?

7:40 am

car.eeyore

I just stole Mom's Lil' Cheddar Loaves recipe!

The Kentucky Bean Soup?

7:40 am

carleekat

car. wants the soup recipe

7:40 am

Anniebrook

The recipe was on the bag the beans came in. I saved the bag for months and then threw it out when I went on a cleaning binge.

7:40 am

car.eeyore

Do the upper E's suck or is it just me?

7:40 am

Mom

I can give you the recipe

7:40 am

I'll email it to you.

I have just one of each of those upper E's.

7:41 am

boatierra

WOW, carleekat, I've never heard of that one, using a match. We, my dad and I always used Zilactin.

7:41 am

Mom

okay, I'll do that is a bit. Car.

7:41 am

car.eeyore

and I keep typing "ensign", but no matter how many times I do it, it still isn't there.

7:41 am

Mema

ha

7:41 am

Mom

it is listed on the package as white beans.

7:41 am

car.eeyore

Any time. No worries!

7:41 am

Annie, I will get them in the mail to you this week

7:42 am

Mom

Annie, just 2 bags?

7:42 am

Hi mema!

7:42 am

Mom, thanks so much. I have a smoked ham hock in the freezer that is waiting for those beans.

7:42 am

7:42 am

Anniebrook

Mom, three bags then. thank you, thank you!!!!!

7:42 am

Mom

you are so welcome, Annie

7:43 am

carleekat

white beans are the same as navy beans i think..

7:43 am

Mom

3 it is

7:43 am

Mom

you would think, Carlee. but not in this recipe

7:43 am

Mom

I have tried it with navy beans. bleech

7:44 am

Anniebrook

carlee, I dont know what it is but the Kentucky beans have a texture and flavor I cannot find here in the beans I have bought.

7:44 am

boatierra

Car - I would recommend using Zilactin if you can get some. It's expensive, around $10 for a little tube, but it lasts a long time and it's very effective at least in my experience. Good luck :)

7:44 am

7:47 am

Mom

7:47 am

I bake a large batch and freeze them - and I do not use pork in them

7:47 am

carleekat

i have a recipe tht does...it works....but not the same..( i put crushed pineapple in them)

7:48 am

car.eeyore

Ummm...it didn't hurt...at all...and I tried it with 2 different matches. It is a little tingly. Did I do something wrong? Or do my matches not have enough sulfur on them?

7:48 am

carleekat

maybe high pain tollerance...

7:48 am

Mom

how do the beans do in the freezer. I had always heard they get mushy when they thaw

7:48 am

crosshair

i have not eaten a good batch ofbaked beans in years..all are dry pasty tasteless things....

7:48 am

carleekat

now...wait... by tomorrow should be loads better

7:48 am

Mom

must have been thunder I heard then

7:48 am

flosey

that sounds interesting carlee - must try it

7:49 am

Maybe I didn't do it right. The matches have VERY small heads on them.

7:49 am

carleekat

we had a restaurant here for years....whilst u waited for your meal u were served baked beans, and fresh rolls with warm sharp cheddar cheese spread

7:49 am

I don't find them mushy Mom - perhaps if they've been frozen a while

7:49 am

carleekat

s long as the head was ON the canker itself...

7:49 am

flosey

oh carlee, that sounds lovely

7:50 am

Mom

<------ nothing stays frozen long here

7:50 am

car.eeyore

Good grief! Did they sell any real meals??!? I would just eat that!

7:50 am

boatierra

I would think it would be better to use the stick matches rather than the matchbox ones?

7:50 am

carleekat

yeap..great steak...and either works boat..i have done both...

7:50 am

car.eeyore

I just sneezed and flames came out my nose!

Oh, duh. Of course! Haha.

7:53 am

negativeneil

Ok. Then I'm up much earlier than you.

7:53 am

boatierra

You'll have to go back through the chog a bit. Home rememdy for cancker sore, putting an unlit match on it.

7:54 am

negativeneil

Never knew that, boat. The things one can learn on Babble... amazing.

7:55 am

car.eeyore

Oh! Unlit?!?!?!?

7:55 am

negativeneil

LOL car!

7:55 am

car.eeyore

It was suggested by carleekat.

7:55 am

Riverdance

7:55 am

negativeneil

I see. Now I know who to ask if I need a strange home remedy for what ails me.

7:55 am

boatierra

Oh thank G-d, for a sec there I thought...Phew.

7:55 am

negativeneil

Yep.

7:55 am

negativeneil

I know, boat! Exactly.

7:56 am

Bad car!

A new addiction? Do tell.

car.eeyore

7:59 am

uusue2

hi mom, and hi again, car!

7:59 am

car.eeyore

Is it most of the talk show host's name?

7:59 am

negativeneil

There are 14 E words, in total.

7:59 am

... at least 5 of the "e" on the bottom have to do with getting away ...

7:59 am

negativeneil

Yes, doseffing.

car.eeyore

Hi doseffing!

7:59 am

uusue2

hi, dos!

Oh jeez. I already had the ca**.

Mom

hello doseffing

8:00 am

negativeneil

There's a link on my profile to join OMGPOP.

8:00 am

car.eeyore

May I run a question by you Babblers?

8:00 am

negativeneil

Sure, car?

8:00 am

uusue2

sure, car!

8:00 am

flosey

sure car

8:00 am

car.eeyore

As many of you know, my boss recently passed away.

8:00 am

Mom

absolutely

8:00 am

boatierra

I had downloaded Bejeweled from Pop Cap aeons ago. But in the change over to a new computer we lost the game.

8:00 am

negativeneil

Oh, didn't know... but very sorry to hear that.

8:00 am

Mom

I'm sorry Car. I didn't know that

8:01 am

boatierra

Sorry to hear that car.

8:01 am

car.eeyore

The company had been put into her husband's name, but regardless the estate has to go through probate.

8:01 am

Riverdance

so sorry car - didnt know either

8:01 am

uusue2

uh-oh, sounds complicated, car

8:01 am

negativeneil

Yes, of course.

8:01 am

car.eeyore

I understand this. It is all fine. However, they sent out an email last week that the assets are frozen, thus no paychecks.

8:01 am

negativeneil

Oh no.

8:02 am

flosey

ouch!

8:02 am

boatierra

Uh-oh.

8:02 am

Riverdance

how can they do that?

8:02 am

negativeneil

Yes, I'm wondering that?

8:02 am

uusue2

hmmm, that doesn't sound right!

8:02 am

Riverdance

where is jmc when you need her

8:02 am

flosey

hope they get that settled soon Car

8:02 am

Mom

was there no will? If the company was in her husbands name how can the assets be frozen?

8:02 am

negativeneil

You're owed what you worked for.

8:02 am

car.eeyore

They think it will be fine by this week, IF they can get it expedited. How long do I keep working if this doesn't resolve itself?

8:02 am

negativeneil

I know, Riverdance... hey, car?
Why not ask jmc?

8:03 am

negativeneil

I'd ask her... she may have some idea.

8:03 am

negativeneil

jmcnrick - at - yahoo.

8:03 am

Riverdance

they should owe you all back pay

8:03 am

uusue2

Frank says that doesn't sound right (law degree)

8:03 am

uusue2

the obligation of the executor is to make payments

8:03 am

doseffing

... for free legal advice ... wait for jmc to get on ... ... but is the "company" incorporated? ... it didn't die ... so why are its assets frozen? ...

8:03 am

car.eeyore

Good point. I shall. I guess this is more of a ethical question though. My nature tells me to just keep working away.....

8:03 am

negativeneil

Yeah, I don't think it does either... but I don't know enough to give any advice.

8:04 am

negativeneil

Or email her.

8:04 am

Riverdance

I must go - breakfast and work....hope it all works out for you soon car - have a great day everyone

8:04 am

uusue2

he's done probate - while the will is in probate bills should keep being paid

8:04 am

uusue2

car, how long have you not been paid?

8:04 am

car.eeyore

It is not a legal question for me...just a practical one I guess.

8:04 am

Mom

byebye ((River))

8:04 am

flosey

going to take a break, bbl

8:04 am

Mom

I must be off, Annie needs to go out. (((Hugs))) to all of you

8:04 am

negativeneil

Well yes, car... and your concern is very understandanble.

8:04 am

car.eeyore

Bye all!

8:04 am

boatierra

I wouldn't not work because you would not want to be cited for anything. Hope that makes sense.

8:05 am

uusue2

he says sometimes there's a little delay while things are being submitted to the court, but it should be short

8:05 am

negativeneil

Uhhh, 'understandable' even.

8:05 am

negativeneil

Bye for now and take care, car.

8:05 am

car.eeyore

Just a few days late with the first check...but payroll is due again this Saturday.

8:05 am

Anniebrook

the estate should be paying you, I would ask about this

8:05 am

boatierra

Bye car. Good luck.

8:05 am

car.eeyore

(I was sayign good -bye to the others...I am still here)

8:06 am

doseffing

... were you employed by the company? ... or by the deceased? ... ...

8:06 am

boatierra

Oh, oops :)

8:06 am

uusue2

Frank says that if it doesn't resolve itself right away you should quit

8:06 am

car.eeyore

I am a subcontractor. According to them, they have received checks from accounts that they cannot even deposit until this gets taken care of.

8:06 am

uusue2

that is a sign that there is something wrong with the business

8:07 am

doseffing

... agree

8:07 am

uusue2

ah, that makes it different - you should file a bill with the court to make sure you get paid

8:07 am

boatierra

You're a subcontractor? That does make it a bit different.

8:07 am

uusue2

since you are not actually an employee - you are a creditor of the estate, which is different

8:07 am

car.eeyore

It is a fine line. I do respect the family and their time of grief..this was very hard on all...and I am happy to wait it out...for a bit.

8:08 am

crosshair

been watching...now itmakes sense.

8:08 am

car.eeyore

Unfortunately, my dire financial situation does not allow for me NOT to be working

8:08 am

car.eeyore

OK. So this is normal then? I should not panic and just let it work itself out.

8:09 am

uusue2

you won't get paid until the probate is finished, which could be months even if they expedite it - all the accounting needs to be sorted out before creditors get paid

8:09 am

boatierra

Hopefully the family will want to do right by the employee and subcontractors and get this issued of payment untangled. The sooner the better.

8:09 am

boatierra

employees*

8:09 am

car.eeyore

I feel if I say, "well that's it! I'm not working if I don't get paid" is harsh.

8:10 am

doseffing

... as a contractor ... you are usually employeed by "you" ... you as a business should submit a bill to whoever ... the company or the estate ... is using your contracted services ... unless you trust everyone in the family ... and they are well meaning ...

8:10 am

crosshair

as a sub,you go on the list with everyone else.but i warn you,often those who have been waiting formore funds or been waiting loger get paidfirst...if the govtis owed any money from the estate they get first kick at it

8:10 am

uusue2

yes, exactly what dos says - you should file a bill with the court in any case to make sure you are on the list

8:11 am

crosshair

yes get on the list

8:11 am

crosshair

then any money owed to banks is often second on list

8:11 am

crosshair

then the lawyers ofcourse

8:11 am

car.eeyore

Oh boy. This is going to be messy isn't it?

8:11 am

uusue2

and time-consuming, car

8:12 am

doseffing

... yup

8:12 am

car.eeyore

gak.

8:12 am

uusue2

and if the company has bills you don't know about you could fall off the end of the list

8:12 am

crosshair

car,i do not wish to say this,but i have been on a "list" for over ten years for 166 thousand

8:12 am

car.eeyore

Well, I will keep a hopeful outlook and hopefully all will be well in a few days.

8:12 am

car.eeyore

Oh god.

8:12 am

uusue2

are you submitting your bills to the company now, or to the lawyers?

8:13 am

car.eeyore

It has only been 1 pay period, so to the company. The next timesheet is due on Saturday.

8:13 am

boatierra

Car, I imagine, of course, you wouldn't put it that way, but I'm sure that the family knowing that the business is currently halted, that you have to make a living. I don't see why they would take offense to that.

8:13 am

uusue2

you might want to submit duplicates to the lawyers

8:14 am

car.eeyore

There is still plenty of work coming in from the doctors.

8:14 am

crosshair

went to court..got the judgement..but there is the list and the peoplein question left to a non-extraditable country..sigh and td waterhouse gets first dibs...

8:15 am

uusue2

and if the next paycheck (and if you're not an employee it isn't really a paycheck, it's a reimbursement) doesn't come I would politely tell them that you understand that the will is being probated but in the meantime you need to earn a living

8:15 am

car.eeyore

Oh Crossy! I am sorry.

8:15 am

doseffing

... do you know if the family intends to keep the business going? ... If they are then I'd suggest that everything will just be inconveniently delayes ... ... but if they aren't ... then make certain that you get you bill in on time ... ... and regretably ... start looking for another position

8:15 am

uusue2

car, I have to go to work, but if I learn any more from Frank I will send you a note on Facebook

8:15 am

crosshair

no no,i have written that off at this stage in the game,but you make sure to geton the list car asap and contact family monthly

8:15 am

car.eeyore

I do think they intend to keep it going. Several of the family members told me that.

8:15 am

car.eeyore

Thank you!

8:17 am

car.eeyore

I think for the time being I will just keep chugging along and do some research, get some contact names, etc. If it continues and drags out, then I have no choice.

8:17 am

crosshair

squeaky wheel gets the grease

8:18 am

It's good to be loyal but also look out for yourself. You are the one you have to take care of.

What is your job at these matches, mrp?

8:41 am

after 5 fouls/penalties, they don't get to form a wall to protect the goal. Can see that being an issue

8:41 am

mrpresident

I am centre referee neil... I control the game play

8:41 am

negativeneil

Oh, wow.

8:42 am

mrpresident

I'm sure, mrp... and sure you can handle them. ;)

i got the one with the keyboard, cause i don't like touchscreens.

12:15 pm

ivesy3

should be able to download from either

12:16 pm

cybernan

first ph 5, please?

12:16 pm

hurshy

i think you can download from libraries with any of the latest versions. i don't know if you have to do it with your local library that you have a card to, and if they have to be participating, or what

12:16 pm

BzznBea

Doesn't it depend on what your library has? What format they use?

12:16 pm

flosey

ph + how old you are

12:17 pm

flosey

and hi again,

12:17 pm

hurshy

i think libraries have a certain thing and the readers have to be made compatible with that, not the other way around.

12:17 pm

cybernan

our local library does have the service for members - will have to check on the codex they use, but I imagine it will be the standard one for libraries

12:17 pm

BzznBea

And you are right, hursh. Your local library has to be participating. And you can only " borrow" the download. After so many days, it goes away.

12:18 pm

hurshy

it's funny because i resisted e-readers because i love books so much, but i'm kind of getting one for the same reason. my books get awful beat up being carried around in my purse, and being read over and over. so i'm getting the kindle to save my books, lol.

12:18 pm

ivesy3

the library site will tell u what readers are compatibile.then dowloand that program. to take a book out you have to have a card with your number and pin #.... u get it for 14 days here

12:18 pm

cybernan

I think we get them for 60 days

12:19 pm

BzznBea

ap7?

12:19 pm

hurshy

it ought to depend on how long the book is, lol

12:19 pm

ivesy3

u dont have to worry about renewing or an overdue, bcuz they go off after the time allowed

12:20 pm

hurshy

but CAN you renew if you aren't done and you don't want it to disappear?

12:20 pm

ro -- something that turns around

12:35 pm

12:35 pm

ivesy3

i like the big grids but sure wish they would do it on a weekend instead of a piddly 45 one

12:35 pm

doseffing

ro 7 .... something that spins around .... ... ro 9 ... I suppose that it's a spanish or portugeuese plural or 7

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

I feel the same way, Sunday was annoying, and there isn't enough time for this one

12:36 pm

rubyfoo

hello dose

12:36 pm

doseffing

... bonsoir

It's like a Spanish ending but its not actual Spanish.

The Ro 9 word that is.

When giving clue we Americans tend to forget about the internationality of this game :)

12:42 pm

boatierra

Wow, now that something! Even up there :)

12:42 pm

doseffing

... I'm afraid knowing Ike is a generational problem

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

12:43 pm

flosey

12:44 pm

flosey

in + The Great E*****

12:44 pm

dianedecoder

and we can probably name many, many of your presidents ! But I agree with doseffing, there can be a major gererational gap when cluing.

12:44 pm

doseffing

... you don't remember Diefenbaker ... who was hated by Kennedy

12:44 pm

boatierra

But I can name LOTS of Canadian Hollywood stars. But I know that does not even begin to equal it out.

12:44 pm

I would like some too hot! these old bones ache when it's cold!

12:47 pm

flosey

yes, I arrived in Ontario with Fall clothes, and had to borrow a T shirt from son

12:47 pm

boatierra

Here's a little something. When I was in grade school one year on April Fools Day our local paper ran a story that Canada had bought our state Arizona on the front page. LOTS of people fell for it. It was hilarious!

12:47 pm

flosey

but it did cool off quickly, fortunately

12:47 pm

dianedecoder

it will be more moderate this week.... high of 91 for today... 99 and 101 are a bit too warmish but the house is beautiful and cool

I aim for halfway on grid. If there is a small grid (< 120) I do try to finish. But a few years ago I was cured of the compulsion to finish every grid.

1:22 pm

i approve scrabs i come for the chat as much as the grid

1:23 pm

Scrabbler

You may eat chocolate or marshmallow bunnies, but not real ones.

1:27 pm

dianedecoder

It was a challenge to myself to finish and reach the maximum points, but once done and maintained for a month or so, it is no longer important. I also found out you lose points even if you don't even log into Babble .

1:27 pm

crosshair

mmm wonder if that cotton tail will stay still whilei get a ladle of warm chocolate?....

1:28 pm

jmcnrick

really diane i am surprised!

1:28 pm

jmcnrick

it must be chocalate not chocolate covered crossy

1:29 pm

jmcnrick

lots of folks don't start grids lest they lose points!

1:29 pm

dianedecoder

hmmmmm.... a little sarcasm there jm ?

1:29 pm

crosshair

for me,half the fun of babble is the chog and interacting with all you wonderful and interesting people.and even annoying a few...(crossy blows T,O a big kiss)

1:29 pm

dianedecoder

they still lose points but very few.

1:30 pm

jmcnrick

oh i see well i haven't looked at my point since the first year i did this game

1:30 pm

jmcnrick

i mainly look at rankings to find a profile with a list on listless days

1:31 pm

dianedecoder

I like the chog too when there is not too much overdone drama and you can certainly see personalities show themselves, as you read and observe. :-)

1:32 pm

Scrabbler

I lurk when there is drama. The emoting is too much for me.

1:32 pm

jmcnrick

yes i get unhappy with the drama and try to bring cheer into the chog even though i am soooooo not a mary sunshine type

1:32 pm

dianedecoder

aka "lurking". LOL

1:32 pm

jmcnrick

the problem is so many people lurk because of the drama the drama is taking over the chog :-(

1:32 pm

dianedecoder

I just don't believe it all, and let it pass.

1:33 pm

jmcnrick

fight back with relentless cheerfulness and gratitude!

1:37 pm

1:37 pm

Judy, if you do NOT click on letters and just stare at the grid until you find the word in Word Scramble, the lowest possible score if 1050.

I saw the strawberry episode Friday...geesh

3:53 pm

lol.........

3:53 pm

SeaSpray

I used to like him but he seems mean now

3:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Strawberries and whipped cream- mmmmmmmmmmm.

3:54 pm

SeaSpray

Do you not like The Biggest Loser Kap?

3:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I never watched it before but I watched it last week

3:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I can see where it can get addicting. TV was never so manipulative when I was a kid.

3:55 pm

Nef

Ar5= ar+ ink writing device

3:55 pm

SeaSpray

Oh, I have watched it since it came on. Those people are amazing. I could never do what they do and I am a size 10...It would kill me

3:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I would have a heart attack and I go to the gym and am not overweight

3:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Are they trying to kill fat people or make them suffer?

3:57 pm

SeaSpray

You would think I would have taken some nutrition lessons from them by now.

3:58 pm

SeaSpray

I think both...they are not all successful however. I saw a former contestant who had gained all the weight back and then some.

3:58 pm

SeaSpray

Has to be a life style change for sure

3:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You can't sustain that kind of grueling physical work

3:59 pm

SeaSpray

I wouldn

4:00 pm

SeaSpray

oops I guess after they lose what they want they get into a "normal" routine to maintain

4:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The thing with reality shows is that it's all in the editing.

4:00 pm

SeaSpray

True

4:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm watching last weeks- it seems so sadistic.

4:04 pm

SeaSpray

When Jillian was on there it was bad...she was heartless

4:04 pm

uusue2

nbt. Long day already.

4:05 pm

uusue2

and hi again, all!

4:05 pm

SeaSpray

Hi Sue

4:05 pm

uusue2

hi, sea!

4:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

For merally- but my kids have grown up with reality shows and that worries meeresting cultu it's ant

4:05 pm

uusue2

erm, what, kap?

4:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Excuse me- my cursor is not working

4:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

My kids growing up with reality shows is a little scary.

4:07 pm

uusue2

ah yes, it would be. I don't think mine has watched them much, but still.

4:07 pm

Nef

hi sue. I'm popping in and out right now; hoping that more words will show up doing this

4:07 pm

SeaSpray

oh my, I watched Jersey Shore once...good grief! Who needs to see that stuff?

4:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Heidi Klum is mean, Tyra Banks is mean- is it really more about sado-masochism?

4:07 pm

uusue2

hi, nef! I've had a pretty busy day so I only have 58 words.

4:08 pm

uusue2

although I don't know if you remember, but I was frantically reading all those dissertations and theses?

4:08 pm

SeaSpray

Is Heidi Klum mean?

4:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Is reading dissertations as hard as wrting them?

4:08 pm

uusue2

we had the meeting today to pick the best one of each (best dissertation and best thesis) - and we all agreed! The meeting (scheduled for 2 hours) took 15 minutes!

4:08 pm

Nef

how are you doing, sue? Did you complete the reading?

4:08 pm

uusue2

almost, kap!

4:09 pm

Nef

which one won?

4:09 pm

uusue2

I did, nef, although I must confess I skimmed the two biology ones a bit, as I am not familiar with all the technical details.

4:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

which one won what?

4:09 pm

Nef

(and what made you choose the one you did?)

4:10 pm

Nef

I bet a lot of people did the same thing

4:11 pm

uusue2

The one that won the thesis award was one where the student had created (bred?) a version of E. coli that was more tolerant to ethanol (usually they die in high concentrations of ethanol), so they can be used to create biofuels more efficiently

4:11 pm

uusue2

and the dissertation that won was a student who developed a completely new way of fabricating solar cells that can make them much more efficient

4:12 pm

uusue2

kap, we were selecting the best masters thesis and the best PhD dissertation for the past year at the university

4:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

ah.

4:13 pm

Nef

WOW! I was thinking that it would be the English one on African American violence!

4:14 pm

Nef

(wasn't th4 the one th4 you said made you want to read those books?)

4:15 pm

uusue2

it was. But they were all so good!!

4:16 pm

uusue2

Anyway, just for the heck of it, here are all the titles: Dissertations

A Third Way To Change: Violence Against Whites In African American Novels From The 1970s.

The Gold Coast, Jamaica And New York: Akan Ideas Of Freedom In The Afro-Atlantic During The Eighteenth Century

An Investigation Of Formal Mentoring Pair Composition: The Impact Of Deep-Level Characteristics And Perceived Similarity On Match Fit And Relationship Retention.

4:16 pm

Nef

And a 15 minute meeting? You must have all felt the winners were head and shoulders above the reat

4:17 pm

uusue2

Oops - left one name in by mistake. Oh well.

4:17 pm

uusue2

well, the top two were very close but we all agreed on which one was slightly better. In both categories! I was amazed!

4:20 pm

Nef

just reading the titles is a bit off-putting

4:20 pm

uusue2

I ran these meetings when I was the associate dean of the graduate school, and they got pretty drawn-out sometimes.

4:21 pm

uusue2

It is, isn't it, nef? Made for an interesting week of reading :-)

4:22 pm

Nef

I can't imagine! Did you get time off from classes to read these? (it would only seem fair to me!)

4:22 pm

uusue2

Nope, committee work is extra (and uncompensated - it's part of "service")

4:23 pm

Nef

"what did yo do in your free time this week?" "I read 'Dual Mechanisms For Sgrna3a-Mediated Recombination With Genomic Rna3 Of Brome Mosaic Bromovirus: The Role Of Cisacting Motifs And Viral Coat Protein.'!"

4:24 pm

uusue2

that was one of the ones I skimmed a bit :-)

4:25 pm

uusue2

and it was everyone's #2 choice for the dissertation prize - it has implications for creating new antiviral medicines

4:25 pm

crosshair

eep! now that is a booktitleindeed!

4:26 pm

Nef

I only understood 16 words of the 22 in th4 title

4:26 pm

crosshair

amedicaltome i assume?

4:26 pm

uusue2

yeah, that one was 225 pages long

4:27 pm

uusue2

it was one of the seven dissertations I had to read last week, crossy

4:27 pm

Nef

a dissertation, crossy. One of the 10 papers sue's been reading this past week

4:27 pm

crosshair

ugh

4:28 pm

Nef

scroll dowen to 4:16 and see what some of the titles are

4:28 pm

Nef

daown, even!

4:28 pm

uusue2

each one of the dissertations was over 200 pages; the masters theses were more like 50-70

4:29 pm

boatierra

225 pages?!? OMG, 10 pages used to set me into a panic attack in college. Oi.

4:29 pm

Nef

oh drat! You knowe what I mean!

4:29 pm

crosshair

just that titlemademepanic

4:29 pm

crosshair

damn space bar

4:29 pm

uusue2

is that still the rubber keyboard, crossy?

4:30 pm

jan

University teaching woulde be the greatest job in the world were it not for the 'service' stuff. Being on Rank and Tenure is one of the grimmer 'service' assignments.

4:30 pm

Nef

I can't type and crossy can't space! LOL! :-)

4:31 pm

uusue2

actually this was kind of fun except I had to read them all in a hurry

4:31 pm

crosshair

nope sue,i fixed the s key on the oldboard and couldnot get rid of the rubber one fast enough,so of course 2 days later the space bar goes wonky

4:31 pm

uusue2

and jan, one of the ones I have assiduously avoided is the Parking Appeals Committee

4:32 pm

uusue2

ah, well, you can come fix the j key on mine then, crossy!

4:32 pm

boatierra

225 pages is bascially reading a book.

4:32 pm

jan

One of the standing jokes for accreditation committees is, whatever the school, the students will always be up in arms over parking.

4:33 pm

uusue2

it was, boa, and there were seven of them! and the four theses together added up to an eighth book! It's been a long time since I did that much reading all at once.

4:34 pm

crosshair

we are getting a housing complex in the next town over..,,500 semis and fully detached bgut no driveways.everyone parks centrally in a 3 level above ground parking complex

4:34 pm

boatierra

Every parking ticket at got at university I challenged and had reduced. It was worth it.

4:34 pm

Nef

wow! Unloading groceries would be a real pain, crossy

4:35 pm

uusue2

egad, that has potential for mayhem, crossy! What if they have guests?

4:35 pm

crosshair

you unload at the curb,then go park

4:35 pm

jan

Somebody ought to start a business ferrying folks from parking to their houses by gold cart.

4:35 pm

uusue2

In the pouring rain? Or blinding snow? With three kids in the car?

4:35 pm

crosshair

do notknow sue,the developer says having no driveways creates room for 50 more homes over the entire project

4:35 pm

crosshair

squeezing them in like sardines

4:36 pm

crosshair

now there is a job..in feb in 4 feet of snow jan hehe

4:36 pm

uusue2

yeah, makes more money for the developer who is then out of the picture - then people have to live with it for decades

4:36 pm

crosshair

indeed sue

4:37 pm

crosshair

they hide the ramifications of such a design till it is too late

4:37 pm

uusue2

<--- is in the wrong career

4:37 pm

Nef

sounds like it will end up being a low income "project" housing then

4:37 pm

crosshair

any carrear where you fleece the consumer is not for a fine mind like yours suze

4:38 pm

uusue2

yeah, I know, crossy, I would be rich but unhappy :-)

4:38 pm

crosshair

yup

4:38 pm

crosshair

biab

4:41 pm

boatierra

Can I get clue for the gr 7/36 and gr 8/50 por favor?

4:41 pm

Nef

It kind of makes you wish the developer would have to live in such a planned housing project for 5 years or so

4:41 pm

boatierra

The first set.

4:42 pm

jan

A slang word for amphetamines and plural

4:42 pm

Nef

4:42 pm

uusue2

4:43 pm

uusue2

4:43 pm

boatierra

Ha, I don't know slang for amphetamines :)

boatierra

Interesting clue though :)

4:43 pm

uusue2

they are also a brand of chewy things for dogs that are supposed to clean their teeth

4:44 pm

Nef

4:45 pm

boatierra

gra or gre?

4:45 pm

jan

Be back later...off to a job talk on international securities law. (Wish I could sneak my computer in and Babble there!)

4:51 pm

lynxxx

4:51 pm

uusue2

4:51 pm

boatierra

It's shite! It's a bit on the tough side today...

4:52 pm

MollyL

5:06 pm

negativeneil

Hey shorty... are you the same "shorty" I'm connected with on OMGPOP? Or is that an entirely different person?

5:06 pm

MollyL

There are only two gr7/8 combos. The one I just clued is color + a baby cr*** when it is hungry. I think that is what you are looking for.

5:06 pm

boatierra

The gr 7,8 between the gr 5/14 and the gr 6/24. Amd I seeing things, they are there, aren't they?

5:07 pm

negativeneil

5:09 pm

bichon

But what do you need boat?

5:10 pm

boatierra

5:10 pm

MollyL

5:10 pm

uusue2

5:10 pm

uusue2

5:10 pm

boatierra

So I am mooooving on.

5:11 pm

MollyL

5:15 pm

lynxxx

5:16 pm

uusue2

5:16 pm

bichon

ooops off I go

5:17 pm

boatierra

5:17 pm

boatierra

Thanks all :)

5:17 pm

bichon

woot boat

5:18 pm

negativeneil

Oh hi Sue... no problem. :) I'm busy answering IMs and emails anyway.

5:18 pm

boatierra

Good thing it wasn't a snake 'cause I would've gotten bit.

5:19 pm

negativeneil

Well if it was, hopefully it wouldn't have been a poisonous one, boat.

5:19 pm

boatierra

Still would've hurt like a mofo!

5:26 pm

bichon

I'm stuck on se 5/10, the third one. Anyone?

5:26 pm

bichon

Forget that!!!

5:28 pm

Nef

are you okay, bichon?

5:29 pm

bichon

I'm fine, it's just that i missed a really easy word. I didn't want anyone to have to think about it

5:29 pm

shorty

I know this is a weird question but does anybody on here know about tongues?

5:29 pm

Nef

OOookay

5:30 pm

uusue2

what about tongues, shorty?

5:31 pm

Nef

we all have them...; what do you want to know?

5:31 pm

shorty

Like mine hurts and is numb and feels like there is a film on it all the time

5:31 pm

Nef

ALL the time?

5:31 pm

bichon

did you Google it?

5:31 pm

Nef

(sorry, I'm a nurse)

5:32 pm

Nef

any discoloring or sores?

5:32 pm

shorty

yes all the time the dr perscibed me a mouthwash for it now its just numb

5:32 pm

Nef

what did the doc say about it?

5:32 pm

shorty

yes i googled it

5:32 pm

bichon

did you see a Dentist. They probably know more about tongues

5:33 pm

MollyL

How is it hurting and numb at the same time?

5:33 pm

crosshair

mith have thrush?

5:33 pm

bichon

Tongues are bad things to have something wrong with. Lot's of lymph nodes, etc

5:33 pm

crosshair

myboy had that as a child

5:33 pm

suefrad625

my son is allergic to tomatoes and his tongue swells up and his taste buds get red and hurt

5:33 pm

shorty

that i had a reaction to Januvia but its been a long time since i took it

5:33 pm

uusue2

it could hurt on the inside and be numb on the surface, maybe?

5:35 pm

shorty

its numb and it hurts at the same time I know its weird

5:35 pm

bichon

Januvia, is that a diabetes med?

5:35 pm

Nef

I still want to know what the doc said.

5:35 pm

shorty

over 4 weeks

5:35 pm

shorty

yes it is bichon

5:35 pm

Nef

neuropathy can make something feel both numb and painful; but I've never heard of someone having neuropathy of the tongue

5:36 pm

negativeneil

Shorty? Are you the same "shorty" who's connected with me on OMGPOP?

5:36 pm

bichon

Did you see an ENT?

5:36 pm

negativeneil

Or is that an entirely different person? Been wondering.

5:36 pm

shorty

that it was a reaction to that januvia

5:36 pm

bichon

Is that one of the listed reactions to Januvia?

5:37 pm

shorty

i dont think so negativeneil

5:37 pm

negativeneil

Oh, ok. Thanks, shorty.

5:37 pm

MollyL

Nef, doesn't thrush have little white bumps associated with it?

5:38 pm

negativeneil

Sorry to hear about your tongue... hope you get some answers and help soon, shorty.

5:38 pm

shorty

me to negative thanks

5:38 pm

Nef

thrush can have white bumps or a white coating, Molly; but it can also make a mouth look angry red

5:39 pm

negativeneil

yw. That doesn't sound like any fun.

5:39 pm

Nef

(kind of like a yeast infections; which is what thrush is)

5:40 pm

bichon

I Googled side effects of Januvia and it didn't specifically say swelling of the tongue

5:40 pm

Nef

what is the mouthwash the doc prescribed, shorty?

5:40 pm

shorty

magic mouthwash

5:41 pm

negativeneil

Is it helping at all?

5:41 pm

MollyL

Okay, I'm totally grossed out that thrush is a yeast infection of the mouth.

5:41 pm

Nef

Okay. That is very effective for sore mouths and tongues; used a lot on transplant and immuno-supressed patients

5:41 pm

shorty

yes it did but its gone now and now its just numb i had bumps on my tongue

5:42 pm

boatierra

BTW, "we all have them..." That made me laugh :)

5:42 pm

Nef

Molly, yeast is an opportunisic organism that doesn't just grow in vaginas. It grows anywhere on moist surfaces where it can get a start

5:43 pm

boatierra

Also, my dad's whitening toothpaste has made my tongue go numb. I stopped using it. Could it be that? (No pain though).

5:43 pm

negativeneil

Wow, boat. What brand is that toothpaste?

5:43 pm

jmcnrick

i am grossed out to molls

5:44 pm

jmcnrick

magic mouthwash is real???

5:44 pm

negativeneil

Hi jmc. :)

5:44 pm

boatierra

Different brands. I thinks its the ingrediants. So I do not use whitening toothpastes.

5:44 pm

Nef

magic mouthwash is a combination of several things; one of which is lidocaine (a numbing agenty

5:44 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

5:44 pm

negativeneil

That photo you emailed me isn't the same picture as the one you have as your icon on profile, jmc?

5:44 pm

jmcnrick

here for a minute

5:45 pm

jmcnrick

it is the same one i have here today neil

5:45 pm

shorty

so any suggestions Nef?

5:45 pm

MollyL

Some combo of lidocaine and benadryl...the mouthwash. This chat is SO disjointed.

5:45 pm

jmcnrick

did you want to see the plan drawing instead?

5:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

again I walk into a weird discussion...

5:45 pm

negativeneil

No. You have a drawing/diagram of your house as your icon right now, jmc. What you emailed me is a photo... entirely different.

5:45 pm

jmcnrick

haha well you walked into the chog kap

5:45 pm

negativeneil

Isn't that usual on here, Kaplan? lol

5:45 pm

shorty

yes it helped when i had it

5:46 pm

jmcnrick

you need to refresh your browser sometimes neil

5:46 pm

boatierra

Oh Kaplan if you only knew. You missed the whole match and canker sore disscusion earlier :)

5:46 pm

Nef

when did the doc order the magic mouthwash and how long have you used it (also how many times per day)

5:46 pm

negativeneil

Yes, jmc... the plan/drawing.

5:46 pm

uusue2

she's updated it here, neil, maybe you need to refresh to see it? (jmc's icon, that is)

5:46 pm

jmcnrick

i will send you the drawing

5:46 pm

negativeneil

Thanks. :)

5:46 pm

negativeneil

Sue, I did that.

5:46 pm

MollyL

What's confusing Kap? Yeast infections, magic mouthwash or the email discussion?

5:46 pm

negativeneil

It's still the plan/drawing on here.

5:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yeast infections in mouths.

5:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Bleeaaughhh.

5:47 pm

Nef

neil, I saee her sort of house

5:47 pm

uusue2

well, that happens sometimes, neil; peri couldn't see her balloon icon for a couple of days once despite reloading, restarting, and even rebooting! so go figure.

5:47 pm

MollyL

I can see your photo JMC.

5:48 pm

Nef

ARGGG! I can't type today! Fat fingers

5:48 pm

negativeneil

Yes, Nef. It's a drawing/diagram/plan, but not a photo. What she sent was a photo.

5:48 pm

shorty

3 x a day on 10/10 1 tablespoon

5:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I got to see John and Marlena licking strawberries and whipped cream today, Molly.

5:48 pm

boatierra

One of our dogs suffered from yeast infections in her ears. Made her crazy.

5:49 pm

Nef

5:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Is that like having a headache in your stomach?

5:49 pm

negativeneil

Probably a "cookie" issue.

5:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, Sue, you don't.

5:49 pm

jmcnrick

then it may be time to reboot because i took that drawing down yesterday

5:49 pm

negativeneil

Wow, Nef. You're finding that now too?

5:49 pm

uusue2

ok then, kap :-)

5:49 pm

negativeneil

That's happened with my Firefox lately.
So now I'm using Google Chrome instead.

5:49 pm

shorty

I was suppose to swallow it but thats just grosss swish and swallow ewwwwwww i called and asked them did i have to swallow it they said no u can gargle it

5:49 pm

uusue2

I knew someone who was diagnosed with abdominal migraines once...

5:49 pm

boatierra

OMG, Seeing John and Marlena lick strawberries off of each other would be totally woth seeing!!

5:50 pm

jmcnrick

the only person i want to see licking strawberries and whipped cream is me

5:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, they were just feeding them too each other---slowly...

5:50 pm

negativeneil

Could be, but I don't reboot every day. Have work open on here now, so don't want to do that yet.

5:50 pm

jmcnrick

5:50 pm

boatierra

Excellent :)

5:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

WTH is an abdominal migraine?????

5:50 pm

shorty

5:51 pm

jmcnrick

neither do i neil--but sometimes you just have to

5:51 pm

boatierra

WTF is an abdmoinal migraine?

5:51 pm

negativeneil

Abdominal migraines, Sue? Uhhh, ok?

5:51 pm

dcseain

in Firefox 8 Beta, the grid is fine, but the stats are hosed, if sequential, on Mac

5:51 pm

Nef

we'd have our transplant pts swish and try to swallow magic mouthwash every 3-4 hours. Usually they could swallow every other dose (if any)

5:51 pm

jmcnrick

a yeti with a headache

5:51 pm

negativeneil

Well sometimes I can't, jmc. Not until I save certain things I'm working on.

5:51 pm

boatierra

JMC, LOL :)

5:51 pm

jmcnrick

i understand neil

5:52 pm

uusue2

beats me what an abdominal migraine is, but it turned out she didn't have one anyway, it was a hernia

5:52 pm

negativeneil

Ok Seain... how can stats be "hosed"?

5:52 pm

boatierra

Ah! A hernia, that makes sense.

5:52 pm

MollyL

Okay, this chat is like the Twilight Zone. Yeast infections in the mouth and abdominal migraines.

5:52 pm

jmcnrick

hi dc! long time no see!

5:52 pm

Nef

did you see an ENT, shorty or did your regular doc prescribe it? I'd definitely see an ENT if it's gone on this long

5:52 pm

negativeneil

I guess it was a comparison of pain level, Sue? I'd question the credentials of any doctor who thinks migraines occur in the abdomen though. Geez.

5:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have an earache in my knee.

5:53 pm

jmcnrick

*stomps around in snowshoes looking for the abominal migraine*

5:53 pm

boatierra

This chog is fantastic. Don't forget the strawberries and whip cream :)

5:53 pm

negativeneil

Haha, Kaplan!

5:53 pm

dcseain

hi, jmc, nef, kaplan, boa, sue, neil, et al :) I've spent today studying, but am taking a short break

5:53 pm

MollyL

Hope you don't get a hemorrhoid on your lip, Kap.

5:53 pm

boatierra

An earache in your knee a.k.a. a torn ACL.

5:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

5:53 pm

negativeneil

A friend of ours once said she went to an ER and some foreign doctor there referred to her elbow as her "ankle". Yikes.

5:53 pm

uusue2

hi, dc! nice to see you here!

5:53 pm

jmcnrick

omg i haven't laughed so much in the chog for a while!

5:54 pm

jmcnrick

what are you studying dc?

5:54 pm

negativeneil

I know, jmc... I'm doing the same!

5:54 pm

uusue2

and I went to the ER once with chest pains and was told (once it was clear that I wasn't having a heart attack) that I should see a psychiatrist. Turned out to be pinched nerves in my neck.

5:54 pm

jmcnrick

this is what the chog is meant to be!!!!!

5:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You wanna hear dumb? I had taken a pair black shoes on a short trip to Vermont and accused my husband of losing one of them...

5:54 pm

negativeneil

OMG, Sue. *headshake*

5:54 pm

Nef

hi dc and everyone else who's joined the crazy chog!

5:55 pm

jmcnrick

5:55 pm

jmcnrick

5:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

and then my husband came home and found the other black shoe in 10 seconds

5:56 pm

negativeneil

Wow. Must be lagged in here... suddenly, a whole bunch of posts sprang up... weird?!

5:56 pm

MollyL

If it was a man with no evident signs of cardiac problems for chest pain, they would have told him it was gas.

5:56 pm

uusue2

well, you could still dye one to match the other, kap :-)

5:56 pm

uusue2

and shorty seems to have had the hiccups, neil :-)

5:57 pm

Nef

shorty, I would definitely ask your primary doc for a referral (so it's covered by your insurance if necessary).

5:57 pm

negativeneil

Got the email jmc, thanks... looks good!

5:57 pm

mkg

hi all. any clues for the 8s or the 9?

5:57 pm

boatierra

I hope the only place someone sees an ent is the movie screen. 'Cause that would just be weird.

5:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Now I have 3 pairs of faux suede shoes (really cute) in size 7. Anyone wear a 7? They are comfortable tie shoes- brand new

5:58 pm

Hiccups, Sue? She needs a good fright then.
[emails her a pic of me first thing in the morning]

5:58 pm

ap 7 please

7:05 pm

meliae

Herin it is a type of tomato used a lot in mexican dishes particularly salsas

7:05 pm

herinfernallady

Ok I think I have heard of them here as cherry tomatoes unless it is a different breed

7:06 pm

meliae

it is green with a paperish skin and very good

7:06 pm

herinfernallady

ok

7:06 pm

meliae

I should say a paperish husk as they have skin like a regular tomato underneath

7:06 pm

dcseain

tomatillas are the key ingredient in salsa verde

7:07 pm

jillibus

Well, over halfway and nbt/nbs -- that's it for this one. Back after the flip -- see y'all later and thanks for the clues etc.

7:07 pm

7:11 pm

meliae

I dont have it Bea looking

7:11 pm

Nef

7:11 pm

I think I should continually bother Lucius for running across me when I was sleeping

7:12 pm

meliae

I tried growing some last year when I was in Portland they did very poorly I only planted one plant I think perhaps you need 2 for proper pollination

7:13 pm

meliae

thank you Luv

7:13 pm

Nef

DH planted 4 plants and they took over most of the tomato garden! I don't know if that's normal; but we didn't expect that

7:14 pm

herinfernallady

We had a tomato just sprout up in the middle of the lawn

7:14 pm

meliae

wow, where in the states do you live Nef? I would love to try growing some again

7:14 pm

dcseain

they're a vine, so yes, that's normal. Next time, plant them in a tomato cage surrounded by large chicken wire

7:14 pm

Nef

In MN -in the Twin Cities

7:15 pm

dcseain

cooll, you'll have fresh fruit ere long then, heriin :)

7:15 pm

meliae

hmm so a smaller growing season than here, I will have to try again, perhaps I just got a bad plant lol

7:15 pm

herinfernallady

We haven't tended it but it was so random and weird

7:16 pm

dcseain

could have been too wet, too mel

7:16 pm

Nef

DC, we had them in a tomato cage and put 2 7 foot trellises up also ; but they just went wild when I had my surgery (we had all that rain the first half of the summer too)

7:16 pm

meliae

we smashed pumpkins one year in the garden that had gone bad, we had pumpkins coming up everywhere the following year, same thing with tomatoes, the kids thought it was great =)

7:17 pm

herinfernallady

We didn't throw any tomatoes there which was odd.

7:17 pm

dcseain

friends growing up had a meter and a half square tomato tangle -- about 8 varieties. We harvested what we could reach, the squirrels and birds ate what they could, and the rest fell and regrew each year. Delicious!

7:18 pm

herinfernallady

Is it mean to bother the cat when he woke me up?

7:18 pm

Nef

herin, we often have "volunteer" tomatoes here too. Sometimes if the seeds drop in the right place they just decide to grow there (the darn squirrels "help with that; not only tomatoes, but also lots of other seeds

7:18 pm

redturtlehead

no herin it is not, it is your Bday you can do what you want to.

7:18 pm

dcseain

as long as you're gentle about it and he's not in REM, it's cool

I made huge er5/10 in marrying him.I wish I could leave hubby and go live in As5/12,Colorado. I wish my husband would get out of his egocentric ph5/14.My husband has been enra4/5 in himself for many years. I wish I could make se5/10 of his selfishness, but I can't. I wish he would just sn 4/5 out of it and think of me just once. I wish that I could esca5/14 my marriage and go live in my own sp 5/14. I wish that I didn't feel tr4/5ped in an unhappy marriage. I wish I could get just one little positive si 4/6 telling me I should not leave him.I haven't gotten any positive si5/14 in a very long time. Finally, I wish mo 4/5 than anything else to find happiness in my life again. My husband is being a br4/6. Hubby wants the computer. I'll be ni4/5 and give it to him.I don't want to get into a sp 4/5 with him. I am going to go watch the movie The Gr6/27 of Wrath.I hope that you have se 4/4 some words. Perha4/6 I will come back to this web pa 4/7 later tonight to help with clues if needed.

shdybr8

much to my relief, he was able to poo alone the first day home

8:23 pm

Nef

Whew! Good News!

8:24 pm

shdybr8

i was trying to figure out how i would support him, and he hates to poo with others around

8:24 pm

lbdawger

those are good si5, shdy. try to keep him from chasing squirrels and acting like he was half his age!

8:25 pm

shdybr8

well, lbd, he chased today, because nico did, my biggest fear is that i have to go to the office tomorrow - i'm terrified that he will fall in the pool

8:25 pm

Nef

Are you doing PT exercises with him? ;-)

8:25 pm

shdybr8

not really, nef, he was pretty increpit before!

8:25 pm

lbdawger

is there a fence around the pool?

8:26 pm

shdybr8

no

8:26 pm

shdybr8

i bought the pool for him, it came with house, but that was 2 or so years ago

8:26 pm

lbdawger

is there anyone who can watch him while your at work?

8:26 pm

Nef

have you taken him in the pool since his stroke? Can he see to the right and left; or does it seem as though he's not seeing so well?

8:26 pm

shdybr8

wrong, the house came with it

8:27 pm

shdybr8

he seems to see ok, it's more about balance

8:28 pm

shdybr8

from what i have observed yesterday and today, i feel that if he did fall in he would be coherent enough to get to the steps

8:28 pm

how can I have 48 left with only s's and t's.

Good attitude Min. Keep believing in the light.

Minveryork

Hubby says I am a very negative person, so trying to be more positive & make the best of a bad situation.

8:49 pm

amelu0218

we all have negatives, they come in cycles... hanging tough until they pass makes you stronger and allows you to help more people who are in crisis mode (if you choose)...

8:50 pm

uusue2

I had a hubby who said that too, min (that I was a very negative person) - I wasn't, when I wasn't around him! (And now I am not around him any more, thank goodness!)

8:50 pm

amelu0218

and just saying ... anyone who "admits" a loved one says they are "such-n-such" (negative or whatever) is usually the person who has the sanest perspective of the issues at hand...

8:51 pm

uusue2

{{{{{min}}}}}

8:51 pm

amelu0218

if one is in denial, they don't 'admit' that someone else has 'accused' them of being 'whatever'... usually, that is a manipulative skill displayed by the accusee... again... just sayingl

8:52 pm

wht

spouses are not always the most objective source of information.

8:52 pm

uusue2

no kidding, wht!

8:52 pm

amelu0218

did that come out right?

8:52 pm

uusue2

made sense to me, amelu!

8:53 pm

Nef

personally, in all the years we've chatted here; I've never heard you being negative (except in this last years' stories; and they really might be saying that HE is the negative in your life)

8:53 pm

amelu0218

referring to your sig-ot min... whew, thanks..

8:54 pm

Minveryork

I can be negative, however, I think I'm more positive compared to the rest of his family. I also believe I am more positive when I am not around him. However, I cannot blame him for my bad moods. I think that you choose to be in the mood you are in.So if you are in a bad mood, then that is your choice. You can choose to be happy or angry. I think life is all about choices.

8:54 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

May I please have any clues for th in's (I do have 5-10). Thannks

8:55 pm

MollyL

Sue, that is a good point. If you are only negative around a particular person, it's usually because they have that affect on you. It's a wake up call when you realize that.

8:55 pm

amelu0218

it took me 7 years (literally) to realize that his problems were not caused by me nor were they actually my problems... and another two years to "retrain" my brain/emotions to be the "bad guy" and say we'd made a mistake and needed to move on alone, in separate households...

8:55 pm

uusue2

well, min, that is at least partly true (that you choose your mood), but I think that it matters what other people do, too. My ex always tried to get out of the consequences of acting like a jerk by telling me that my reaction wasn't his fault.

8:56 pm

mab

aw, min. you've always been a bright light here. choice might be appropriate mostly, but not when you're so weighted down.

9:00 pm

uusue2

yes, min, I am always happy to see you here!

9:00 pm

MollyL

Min, I don't know your husband, but it's been my experience that people who have bad self esteem often try to put others down.

9:01 pm

SeaSpray

They try to boost their egos by doing that?

9:02 pm

amelu0218

I'm reading over what I've "said" and not sure that it makes sense to anyone else, but *shrug* it is what it is... I've noticed that most of the people here (this chog) are up front, even if they may sell themselves short (enabling their sig-ot --- myself included), making us all more introspective than we need to be sometimes... I know I wasted many years trying to figure out what I did wrong (on a daily basis) when in actuality, nothing... we (ex & I) were just not meant to be together long term...

9:02 pm

amelu0218

sorry, just got in a chatty mood for a sec...

9:02 pm

uusue2

they do, sea, it makes them feel like they are better that someone else (if they can make someone else feel worse)

9:02 pm

Minveryork

I have TERRIBLE self esteem.Been that way my whole life so maybe what he says is true. However,what he sees as me always putting him down,I see as pointing out some negative things about him that are true.He does not like to face the truth so then he is in denial.

9:02 pm

uusue2

that was very well said, amelu!

9:03 pm

SeaSpray

But, I always thought they just made themselves look like an ass. lol

9:03 pm

Minveryork

I know I'm FAR from perfect and I'm willing to accept that. However, he cannot take any type of criticism.

9:05 pm

mab

you said it earlier, min, egocentrism

9:05 pm

Nef

Min; think for a minute: does your superior or your co-workers think that you are negative? If not; there you go!

9:06 pm

amelu0218

Good on ya, Spray! It took me years to be assertive enough (and verbal enough) to realize there is a difference between telling someone they were full of crap and just accepting they were fuil of crap, LOL...

9:06 pm

mab

he perhaps sees himself as the center of all that happens. it's more like narcisism (sp)

9:06 pm

Minveryork

But then again, he says that about me too.I think we are too busy pointing fingers at each other & then it becomes a contest of which person is right or wrong.

9:07 pm

SeaSpray

Oh I know amelu, I was the same way. Wouldn't say anything...not anymore...I guess age does that

9:07 pm

MollyL

Sometimes, people go on the attack when criticized, because the criticism echoes all the bad things they say to themselves.

9:07 pm

rururocks

I"m critical of everything..

9:08 pm

And their mother said, and their ex said, yadda, yadda, yadda. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

why take short cuts sea..lol

9:08 pm

I think everybody needs a page of affirmations to read every day about how they are a decent person. Saying positive things about yourself TO yourself makes a big difference in your self esteem

still can`t find the 2nd ta7,32 any more clues?

9:12 pm

MollyL

Ru, just for the record, I saw how that went down yesterday. It was the by-product of a) the written wrod being two dimensional and b) too many conversations going on at once in chat. You meant no harm.

9:12 pm

9:13 pm

amelu0218

My viewpoint: if you can look yourself in the eye in the mirror, say "I love you" and admit that it's true that's the first step toward self realization... being honest, not narcissism.

9:13 pm

amelu, sometimes a person has to look in the mirror and start out saying "I like me" first

9:15 pm

MollyL

Thing is with chat, unless you start your comment with "Neil...." it can be construed as a comment directed to anyone. Not that it was meant that way at all.

9:15 pm

amelu0218

When actually looked at myself in the mirror, truly looked at myself as others might see me (ok in an opposite viewpoint), I said "Who the F*** are you??? Where did you com from and what are you doing in my body?????"

9:20 pm

MollyL

Ru, why do you keep thinking I root for the Colts. My second favorite are The Broncos and they kicked ass in critical time yesterday.

9:21 pm

he is so evasive that tebow

I spit in the general direction of The Colts as they represent the team Marchibroda snuck out of Baltimore.

9:22 pm

amelu0218

That's when I realized that I needed to know myself to make my own existance a better thing (for me) in the long run... months later I was able to accept that person in the mirror as an "OK" person and get on with my life instead of continually trying to make/help someone else learn how to live in their own skin...

Yes, it is.

9:25 pm

amelu0218

I finally figured out that it's difficult enough to figure out what I'm supposed to be/do... don't need to "fix" someone else...

9:27 pm

amelu0218

and I'm not doing very well in that arena lately, either... *sigh* trying to make things happen instead of allowing them to happen when they should... *shrug*

9:27 pm

MollyL

Before "co-dependent" became a psycho babble buzz word, my sister referred to "fixers" as having "wounded bird syndrome".

you ever wonder if you have something tattooed on your forehead (that you can't see) that causes people to approach you with their 'problems'??

9:30 pm

amelu0218

257/54 at the momet... hopefully will finish tonight...

9:30 pm

lbdawger

sometimes people are just drawn to you. My hubz and i swear, crazies like us.

9:30 pm

MollyL

Yes. But there is nothing tattooed on your forehead. It's what you are emanating. The needy gravitate towards those they perceive as fixers.

9:31 pm

welki

hi peeps! *putting on foil hat*

9:31 pm

lbdawger

so, either we're both a bit nuts or...we appear safe

9:31 pm

SeaSpray

people I used to work with told me I always attracted weirdos lol

9:31 pm

lbdawger

hiya Welki!

9:31 pm

SeaSpray

hey welki

9:32 pm

amelu0218

they just don't get that empathy cannot "FIX" the issues that they think they don't have...

9:32 pm

lbdawger

no fixer here. In my 30 years as a professional counselor, I pretty much told people if they want a bandaid, the first aid box is over there.

9:32 pm

welki

sort of like, 'have an issue? here's a tissue."

9:34 pm

welki

<-- watching the world series, really good baseball being played

9:34 pm

lbdawger

if they really wanted to work on that issue, then we'd talk, but if i saw they were just playing a game, i'd refer them to someone else.

9:34 pm

kje

score?

9:34 pm

welki

tied, 2/2

9:34 pm

Nef

I have a very hard time of trying not to take care of those that are close to me. I've been a nurse to long...

9:35 pm

SeaSpray

it has to be better than this football game welki

9:35 pm

MollyL

Sometimes it's a matter of how you express support. If it's "oh you poor thing, I feel so bad for you", then you can attract the needy. If it's "I have every confidence that you are going to get through this, I wish you well" you are not perceived as a person to come and whine to.

9:35 pm

kje

cool

9:35 pm

welki

top of the 7th, bases loaded, 2 outs

9:35 pm

welki

fly into center .. inning over. cardinals stranded their guys

9:36 pm

MollyL

Nef, there is nothing wrong with taking care of others, as long as you balance that with taking care of yourself.

9:36 pm

lbdawger

i think it would be really hard to be a nurse and not care about others.

9:37 pm

Nef

yeah, Molly; I'm starting to "get" that. It's just that I'd never slowed down to do it before, so it's not easy to learn yet

9:37 pm

welki

(i still get tingles when i hear 'god bless america' sung (well) at a baseball game)

9:38 pm

MollyL

Baby steps Nef. You are headed in the right direction.

9:38 pm

Nef

With Aunty, I was like helping and being a boot camp sargeant at times. There has to be something in between

9:38 pm

lbdawger

i get all teary anytime i hear it sung...except when someone butchers it, then the tears are for other reasons

9:38 pm

welki

nef, you've never not taken care of others ... going to be a tough learning curve, letting go

9:39 pm

lbdawger

tough love, Nef. It's hard to do on yourself.

9:39 pm

welki

dawg, it's not often that i hear it up here .. i sure miss american patriotism, it's just not the same north of the border

9:39 pm

lbdawger

oh Canada...

9:40 pm

Nef

I absolutely love the Star Spangled Banner; but God Bless America always brings me to tears!

9:41 pm

welki

i don't know if i have a favorite anthem, they all can do a number on me, given the right circumstances. children singing them, for one

9:41 pm

MollyL

God Bless America, sung on the steps of The Capitol, the night of September 11th, made me a teary mess. I will never forget that.

9:42 pm

Nef

And I Love hearing Oh Canada at baseball games! Every time the Twins played the Toronto Blue Jays were here, the Canadians out-sang the Americans

9:42 pm

welki

would you believe, molly, that as it was happening, a co-worker said, 'those americans, they got what they deserved." i never spoke to her again until right before she passed away.

9:43 pm

MollyL

Welki, I am not a person who indulges in physical violence, but I'm pretty sure I would have smacked someone who said that, that night.

9:43 pm

lbdawger

omg, welki she said that about 9/11?

9:44 pm

welki

yes she did. i couldn't believe it .. i work in a government building, with a diverse workforce. the room went silent.

9:44 pm

Nef

I had to work that night here in MN and it ended uyp being the worst shift in my 42 years (so far) as an RN due to the national transportation system being shut down

9:45 pm

welki

i just felt helpless. my kids were back east, there was nothing i could do to help anyone. i remember one of my daughters calling, saying there were fighter planes flying over rutgers

9:45 pm

lbdawger

well, i know not everyone likes the US, and that's okay, but to say such a hurtful hateful thing about such a traumatic event...

9:46 pm

Nef

I can't talk about it (pt. confidentiality and HIPAA laws) but I have PTSD from it

9:46 pm

welki

it was a horrible thing to say ... particularly considering that there were hundreds of canadians in the towers. she was an ignoramus.

9:46 pm

welki

(((nef)))

9:47 pm

lbdawger

(((NEF)))

9:47 pm

SeaSpray

anyone who made a statement like that must have been a nut job

9:47 pm

MollyL

I have a hard enough time with the US continually being put down right here in our chat. But I can blow that off. To hear it that night, would have been beyond insulting. And Nef...I'm sorry about the traumatic stress problem.

9:48 pm

lbdawger

ignorance is not a defence for saying something like that out loud.

9:49 pm

lbdawger

and now we need to change the subject.

9:49 pm

rururocks

let's put down Grenada or something...

9:49 pm

welki

i was hoping that 'ignoramus' would come through stronger than 'ignorant' ... but you're right, no defence to the remark existed. BUT ... a co-worker heard it, a middle eastern woman. and she came over to me, gave me a hug and just said, 'i am so sorry.' (and she is not a huggy person .. and neither am i)

9:51 pm

welki

ok .. changing the subject. SAFE! infield hit, safe on first base! (sorry, kje, rooting for st. louis)

9:52 pm

MollyL

♪ Buy me some peanuts, and cracker jack ♪

9:54 pm

welki

well, i sure know how to work a room :(

9:54 pm

kje

no prob... I am not a pro sport fan at all... but I AM in St Louis right now

9:55 pm

welki

they'll be back in st louis on wednesday for game 6

9:56 pm

Jellen

Hello...

9:56 pm

welki

you're at a conference? or just a wild hair that brought you there?

9:56 pm

welki

hey jellen

9:57 pm

lbdawger

hi jellen, night jellen. i'm off to my pillows. (((Everyone))). see you all tomorrow

9:57 pm

MollyL

Hi Jellen. How are you tonight?

9:57 pm

welki

yeah, going to call it a night, too .. sweet dreams, kids

9:58 pm

Jellen

I am tired, Molly...one drive round-trip drive to KC again today. How are you?

9:58 pm

MollyL

Sweet dreams Welki and LBD.

9:58 pm

Jellen

Bye, lbd and welki

9:58 pm

Nef

hi Jellen. How far is that drive?

9:58 pm

MollyL

I'm good Jellen. Why the long round-trip drive?

9:59 pm

Jellen

Picked up a friend at the airport there.

10:00 pm

MollyL

Is that the closest airport to you?

10:00 pm

Nef

niters lbd and welki (sorry, I had to turn off the teapot)

10:01 pm

Jellen

No, but she evidently saved a bunch on the tickets. She and her kids went to DisneyWorld.

10:03 pm

Jellen

brb...

10:03 pm

Nef

Why didn't she just rent a car so you wouldn't have to go get her?

10:06 pm

Nef

KC is at least 100+ miles from anywhere in OK, isn't it?

10:06 pm

MollyL

Good point Nef. Saving money on tickets = extra money to rent the car.

10:14 pm

Jellen

Good question...

10:14 pm

Nef

how far is that, Jellen?

10:15 pm

Jellen

3.5 hours or so

10:19 pm

Nef

DH and I found that if we were to fly to Missoula MT to see family; it costs a whole lot more (almost half in some cases!) than if we flew another 200-250 miles to Spokane, WA

10:21 pm

Nef

so for us, going farther would be so much cheaper and we could rent a car without a problem

10:23 pm

Jellen

She had plans to stay with a friend and leave her car there, but plans fell through at the last minute...

10:28 pm

Nef

and you didn't mind the drive? If you like driving, thats ok

10:48 pm

jesdraggon

but if you flew to spokane we could meet for dinner :)

10:49 pm

jesdraggon

Shirlockc

10:55 pm

Nef

hey, jes; if we decide to do this; we may meet sometime in the next year! :-)

10:56 pm

Jellen

Sorry, I got pulled away...No, I didn't mind the drive (don't love it either)...

10:56 pm

Nef

er7= e +congressmans title + crime in the eyes of religion

10:57 pm

Shirlockc

thx nef

10:57 pm

Jellen

brb...

10:58 pm

Nef

jes, I had checked before posting that: if we flew tomorrow it would cost $888 each to Missoula, but $468 to fly to Spokane (from Mpls, MN

11:04 pm

Jellen

Wow, Nef!

11:07 pm

Nef

I know! I thought that was crazy

11:27 pm

Jellen

Back again...working on an assignment due in oh, 4 minutes...I hate group projects!

11:29 pm

Nef

I'm just peaking at the chat every so often and trying to finish the grid. I have 52 left; what are the odds? :-)

11:31 pm
