lynxxx
Jilli's 'tree' would be so interesting too
1:06 am
jillibus
Lol, ruru!
1:06 am
VolleymomDee
I think mainlawn should be a word
1:07 am
rururocks
jilli's tree would be interesting.. but you'd have to go out on a limb to figure it out
1:07 am
cosdem

NOT looking forward to it however
1:12 am
lynxxx
How long are they saying the recovery will be? (don't be such a big sook!)
1:12 am
rururocks
6 weeks to three months
1:14 am
lynxxx
Not so long - and you will be pain free! what a relief that will be
1:14 am
VolleymomDee
what all are they expecting to do ru?
1:15 am
jillibus
welcome to the 6-week club, ruru
1:15 am
rururocks
arthroscopic on my right knee for now and full knee replacement on my left one.. + the butt implants
1:15 am
VolleymomDee
butt implants?
1:16 am
rururocks
lol.. just kidding dee
1:16 am
rururocks
that's the new thing in LA
1:16 am
VolleymomDee
LOL... I was going to say, I'll be glad to donate
1:17 am
lynxxx
You won't need butt implants...sitting and laying around for 6-12 weeks will get some padding on your butt (& stomach)
1:17 am
rururocks
It takes a lot of Booty to pay for it though
1:17 am
lynxxx
double groan
1:17 am
VolleymomDee
el 7/36
1:19 am
rururocks
actually lyn..i've lost 28 pounds
1:19 am
VolleymomDee
wow that's a lot ru especially being more inactive
1:19 am
lynxxx
wow - under doctors orders?
1:20 am
rururocks
yeah..I'm really pleased so far...
1:20 am
rururocks
yeah sorta
1:20 am
rururocks
he said it will help me a lot to get to 200lbs or less
1:24 am
lynxxx
It matters such a lot when you have ops (my brother just went that - plus a heap of other stuff - in the last few months),. In fact keeping your weight down becomes such an issue as you get older - it causes so many complications (sigh)
1:26 am
rururocks
yeah.. there's gonna be less of me to love..
1:27 am
lynxxx
but think of all the hard muscle that will be there instead! well - after you can get active again
1:28 am
rururocks
I sure hope so... I've never had surgery..
1:30 am
lynxxx
it's nothing! they keep you nicely drugged up so no pain and fuss over you when you really need it...the only dreary side is hospital food and no decent coffee (get someone to bring it in for you)
1:30 am
rururocks
okay.. off to bed for me.. night you guys.. take care
1:30 am
VolleymomDee
nite ru sleep well

I LOVE Douglas Adams....
5:17 am
sprite
oh so do I! I live by many of his quotes, lol.
5:18 am
sprite
One of my favorites is: "I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be."
5:18 am
Trifioso
I actually sa4 "so long and thanks for all the fish" to a server at the grocery store once, after he had handed me my fish purchases. My roommate cracked up laughing, but the poor guy at the counter was LOST
5:18 am
Dachef
"It's at times like this I wish I'd listened to what my mother told me." "Why? What did she tell you?" "I don't know - I never listened!"
5:18 am
Trifioso
that is a good quote indeed, sprite!
5:18 am
Trifioso
LOL dachef
5:19 am

lol Dachef, right so!
5:19 am
sprite
oh and this one, I use it on forums as signature:
"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
5:20 am
Dachef
Or my fave: 'Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so.'
5:20 am
sprite
yesssss that is a brilliant one.
5:20 am
Trifioso
I remember laughing out loud when reading...."That About Wraps it up for God" It just was so irreverent
5:22 am
Dachef
'Space is big. Really big. You might think its a long way down the road to the chemist's, but thats just peanuts to space.'

and another from the hitchhikers guide, when the guy is lying in front of a bulldozer to keep it from flattening his house, and the bulldozer guy says: "You cannot lie here forever." And the guy answers: "Not? Let's see who rusts first."

This is one of those cult things, like "Rocky Horror Picture Show", right?
5:22 am
Trifioso
hey there molly malone! can't sleep either, huh?
5:23 am
sprite
oh yes! The Babel fish... the thing so unlikely to have evolved just by incident that it proves God exists, and proof is the end of faith, and without faith God is nowhere... so God does not exist.
5:23 am
MollyL
No (said in a disgusted voice) I actually have to work today.
5:23 am
Trifioso
I am working today as well, but not until 11
5:23 am
Dachef
Oh yes, says God, I hadnt thought of that. And promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
5:23 am

hi Molly! I guess so. I think it should be compulsory reading at schools.

It has long been a personal quest of mine to introduce Americans to the works of the late great DA.

Douglas Adams had more of an influence on my life than any teacher or politician.
5:26 am

5:27 am

I have had a few teacher that influenced me more. But Adams is high on the list for me too.
5:29 am

If there are any lurkers who have no clue what we're talking about - look up The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and subsewuent sequels. I personally guarantee your life will be richer if you do.

Halflife = 3.8 hrs (No, I didn't know that; I looked it up.) and it takes about 4-5 halflives to be gone. As you were on med for 10 days or so your body may need time to adjust.
10:08 am
hurshy
also i read on wiki this morning that benzodiazapenes shouldn't be taken with hydrocodone so i guess it's good i stopped?!

Both cause respiratory and neuro depression.

ah, I thought there was a big Jewish sub culture in US which might make it more comprehensible
1:17 pm
marpocky
there is, but it has almost no effect on the rest of us, at least regarding our knowledge of the alphabet and how it applies to online word games LOL
1:17 pm
MollyL
There may be more Jewish people in the US than in the UK, but that doesn't mean that most of us are familiar with the Hebrew alphabet. I only know some of it due to word games.
1:17 pm

the only reason i know the whole greek alphabet is from math

Well, the fun words I just used are more slangy. Mensch means "good fellow" or "good natured" I believe. Klutz is uncoordinated or clumsy. Schlep is to slog or travel unwillingly.
1:23 pm
Glantarell

Schmuck and putz are not flattering. Kind of like "asshole" and "idiot", respectively.

kibbitz is either to chat or to look over a bridge player's shoulder & tell her/him what to bid

true molly, but i had led a sheltered life until i was 18..lol and was amazed at the idioms i found in the american language when i moved westward and met people from all over this country and other countries
1:47 pm
MollyL
Most of what I know about cultures and things that are not of my lived experience is from books and movies. I always assume that people who play this game are avid readers (most word lovers are) so it always surprises me when people claim to be unfamiliar with a whole block of what I consider common ethnic terms. Just my take on it.

As I sat here in my seat id4/7 waiting for babblers to ask for clues, I wrote a story of clues. So here it is. I fell ma5/18 in love w/husband several years ago. Our relationship was so el 7/36 at the beginning. He told me I was the prettiest la4/7 he had ever been with.I told husband that I loved the fact that he was a neat person and not a slob and we'd never ever need a ma 4/6. Then we got married. He he4/6 my hands and sa 4/5 that he would love me forever.We went sa4/4ing on a cruise ship for our honeymoon. However,sa5/16 the bliss and happiness ha4/5ed a couple years after we got married. It is sort of ir6/21 that wh4/9 made me fall in love w/him is the ma 4/5 reason why I don't love my husband anymore. I hate to say it,but I have had ma5/14 mood swings since our problems started. I've also become an alcoholic and I drink gin&to 6/21 every single day. I am to 4/4 over leaving him. I wish I could just wave a magic wa4/9 & then things would go back to how they used to be when we were happy Da4/6! Hubby is stomping around the house being no 5/14 which means he wa 4/8s laptop. We have to ro 4/4 te turns on the computer.I'm going to go change my ic4/5 for tomorrow.Then I'm going to get into my co4/7 bed and watch the film The So 6/21 Network. I hope you have obta4/4ed some more words with this story of clues.Goodnight babblers.I will see you later.

oh monkey, I was at the MLA convention in Seattle - I am half sad that I didn't just go as a full participant the whole time... but to be honest if I had I wouldn't have had the great three days of work this past week! It was so re-invigorating as a teacher, and as a student. AND I met two wonderful authors -- bought book from one and will order the books from the other as soon as he tells me where I can get them in the states (he's from Scotland). and Mother was there, and we met my dear, "separated at birth but never met in person - twin" who I have known online for over twelve years.
