negativeneil

Haha, westford

1:15 am

negativeneil

So the "Add Word:" slot was missing in your dream?

1:15 am

melonheadjujube

At least it's not one of those grids where you have one word with 4 suffixes.

1:16 am

negativeneil

No, just a couple.

1:19 am

negativeneil

I see all the Hebrew/Yiddish words that crop up in the grid pretty easily.

1:19 am

melonheadjujube

actually I got a na5/10 from that [shrug] [smile]

1:19 am

Lizlin

I usually do - but the name eludes me still!

1:20 am

negativeneil

Very common in our circles, Lizlin.

1:20 am

negativeneil

At least here anyway.

1:20 am

negativeneil

Everywhere though I'd think?

1:20 am

westford

Ruth's daughter-in-law?

1:20 am

melonheadjujube

still trying to find th or5 animal.

1:20 am

negativeneil

It's a 5-letter name but remove the 2nd consonant for this na4,4 word.

1:20 am

Lizlin

Less so on the Gold Coast I guess! Sigh! Right - duh! I have the word - didn't see it as a name!!!!!

1:20 am

Lizlin

1:28 am

ARB

1:29 am

Shalom, ARB!

1:29 am

Lizlin

Candle lighting 6.28 tonight

1:29 am

ARB

Shalom melon. Shalom everyone

1:30 am

melonheadjujube

Teaching, doing pottery, ARB. Recent hip troubles, too, sorry to say.

1:30 am

ARB

replacement in store?

1:30 am

westford

shalom ARB

1:31 am

melonheadjujube

Shabbat Shalom, Liz! It's Shabbat somewhere already. wow. (:

1:31 am

Lizlin

Shabbat shalom and either sleep well or enjoy your day :)

1:32 am

ARB

Melon, do you need an operation?

1:33 am

melonheadjujube

Well, I'm going for a consult. My PT sat me down (inasmuch as I can sit at all!) and outlined what ducks I need to get in a row. Hoping to avoid, or at least postpone. Onset seemed sudden; I was walking all over NYC back in August, going to dances, and now i can't walk around the block tho I can ride a bicycle 10 miles. otoh, i can see how I've been favoring my right side for years, and back in february I had some range of motion issues, tho not pain. It's excruciating.

1:34 am

VolleymomDee

a friend of ours had a hip replacement in the fall, and he is doing amazingly well - no cane, no limp, gait even looks normal now

1:34 am

westford

that is encouraging dee

1:35 am

melonheadjujube

My sis, who is an excellent NP, suggests it might be a labral (with an R, wiseguys!) tear. I was supposed to have an MRI, but panicked. Even the open MRI would have put a big machine close to my face, and my claustrophobia set in. If they want an MRI. they will have to put me out.

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

and most important, no pain at all...

1:35 am

ARB

Sorry to hear about that. Hope there is a way to take care of it. We have several friends who hadhip replacements and do everything without pain. so.... don't rule out replacement.

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

they can give you valium

1:36 am

melonheadjujube

VVMD, that is good to hear. Since I teach, I have summers off. I already live on one floor, and have two wonderful adult kids who will be there for me. So, what am I so scared of?

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

I am extremely claustrophobic... won't ever do closed MRI again, so understand that feeling

1:36 am

ARB

scared of pain, change, unknown future, so what else is new?

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

going under anesthetic... I think that is always a concern after we gain wisdom after 30 LOL

1:36 am

melonheadjujube

Hell, they gave me Versed for a breast MRI, I woke up 20 minutes in and started shrieking.

1:37 am

ARB

us older folk don't like llooking mortality in the face.

1:37 am

VolleymomDee

they should be able to avoid that - if the anesthesiaologist is aware of those issues

1:37 am

VolleymomDee

too true arb

1:38 am

melonheadjujube

So true, ARB. The outcomes can be very successful, but no surgery is without risk. Thank God, I have a pain mgt doc who listens to me and at least adjusted my meds.

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

where in US are you, mel?

1:40 am

melonheadjujube

Yes, ARB. Mortality has walloped my family, lots of cancer. Arthritis barely registers, but these little breakdowns—not being able to sit on the floor, take the stares in a normal fashion—are a quiet knock on the door. Like the rosh HaShanah liturgy: a great shofar is sounded, and a tiny still voice is heard.

1:41 am

melonheadjujube

I'm in Cleveland. Needless to say, medical care here is fabulous. I'm no Cleveland Clinic fan myself, so I go to Universioty Hospitals, equally good and a better culture, IMO.

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

true... my friend's surgery was in OH... but can't remember which town at the moment

1:42 am

melonheadjujube

It is truly nice to have my Babble friends to commiserate with. you and basenotes.net are my favorite online communities.

1:42 am

ARB

You have to be realistic, not in denial, but really understand your situation -- that's my philosophy for what it''s worth

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

ty dart... found this one tough

1:44 am

melonheadjujube

b'Emet, ARB (true). My PT is great that way. He just laid it out. I'm about to turn 59. I'm preparing my questions for the orthopedist. Basically, wondering how do we know when to go past conservative treatment to surgery.

1:44 am

ARB

not that I have great-grandchildren, just grandchildren that are great!

1:44 am

dart001

Nef

I fell asleep at the computer around midnight; heading to bed now but thought I'd check in here first. melon, you are talking about a painful hip?

1:47 am

melonheadjujube

Yes, ARB. You know, as I was bicycling through Cleveland's inner city this summer, chatting with the residents, buying friendship bracelets from little girls on the stoops, ice cream from the truck, I remember feeling grateful I could have these little urban adventures, and mindful that one of these days I wouldn't be able to take these solo jaunts.

1:47 am

melonheadjujube

Yep, nef.

1:47 am

Nef

I had a total hip replacement in August 2011; best thign ever! :-)

1:47 am

dart001

nef..you ready for the deep freeze?

1:48 am

melonheadjujube

Thanks VMD, I'll remmeber them as archtram (;

1:48 am

Nef

BRRRR! Don't mention that, dart! (Yes, I'm ready. It's about time we got some cold temps

1:49 am

melonheadjujube

Oh, Nef, thank you for telling me that! I need the encouragement. One of my heroes is Suzanne Farrell, the great ballerina. She went back on point after two THR operations.

1:49 am

dart001

for once glad i'm down here now

1:49 am

Nef

melon, have you had any steroid injections into the joint?

1:50 am

Nef

this time around (before surgery) they didn't help at all; but I had them about 10 years before and they did help.

1:50 am

melonheadjujube

Nef, I just looked at your profile. My neph and his new wife just drove from Cleveland to Seattle and in their fb posts marveled at Minnesotans' ability to endure the cold.

1:52 am

melonheadjujube

No. The onset of pain was sudden. My pain doc wants to wait to see what the hip doc says. I've been reading up on NIH site; hyaluronic acid injections can also be successful. I have a feeling the replacement is in my future; 59 just seems young, though holding out for Medicare may be unrealistic.

1:52 am

Nef

I was home in 3 days after surgery; and one week after surgery I was sitting at the hospital with DH's Aunty who needed a transfusion (she thought if she said I had to go with her she could refuse it).

1:53 am

melonheadjujube

How long before you felt you were "back"? Able to walk, drive, sleep on your side, take stairs, etc.?

1:54 am

Nef

Believe it or not; I've seen kids wearing just light hoodies on their walks to anf from school this week. I've never been that crazy; but lots of people are around here.

1:54 am

melonheadjujube

(So glad I decided to Babble my way thru this insomnia, btw. This has been so helpful)

1:54 am

dart001

neighbors here think i'm crazy when i go out in short sleeves to golf when it's 52 out lol

1:55 am

melonheadjujube

Not in pain just now, but sometimes Vicodin wires me.

1:55 am

melonheadjujube

brb, fixing a hot chocolate for myself

1:55 am

Nef

Redheadbed (or ??? is a nurse in Florida who had a labral tear repaired last year too. SHe's back running half marathons now. (she didn't have a replacement)

1:57 am

westford

that's redturtlehead nef..how do those labral tears happen?

1:58 am

Jivingjenny0

good morning all, please can some one clue the 8s for me

1:59 am

dart001

ka 8...think australia

1:59 am

westford

one is an aussie animal jenny

1:59 am

Nef

I was ready to go back to work after a month; didn't have a problem sleeping on my side. The driving, though; the doctor made me wait 6 weeks (it was my right hip). Stairs were a breeze within 2-3 weeks I think. I didn't go back to work though; I was caring for DH and his Aunty who was dying of heart failure (she died Sept. 29th, 2011)

2:00 am

Nef

Thanks, westford. I didn't think I had that right but couldn't remember what her "name" was here and didn't want to post her real name

2:00 am

Jivingjenny0

thank you dart and westford, what about a 7 for me to have nbs and nbt

2:01 am

dart001

ar 7...law term bring into a hearing i think

2:01 am

melonheadjujube

Driving is hell for me, more than anything else (also R hip). At least I have a stick shift, which gives the R leg a rest now and then. I can't sir on upholstered furniture. Mostly I sit on a tall stool. Luckily I alternate between standing and sitting, and trown in some walking around the room when I teach.

2:02 am

westford

nef it must be nice to know good surgeons

2:02 am

melonheadjujube

tx dart, nbs now

2:02 am

Nef

Dart, someone posted on their FB page that people in California were all bundled up in parkas when the temp is 50 F; whereas Minnesotans have picnics at that temp. That's pretty much true.

2:02 am

melonheadjujube

We are spoiled here the 216.

2:03 am

melonheadjujube

re: doctors.

2:03 am

Jivingjenny0

thanks again dart

2:03 am

dart001

i saw on fb a funny comparison....let me see if i can find it

2:03 am

westford

our silly daughter and her husband just left San Diego for Chicago and Michigan to go on a brewery tour

2:05 am

Christine

I haven't owned a coat for over 20 years, but it doesn't often get too cold in the LA area. Last week it was 48 at 9.30am, and people were, in fact, bundled up. I guess we're spoled for the good weather, and shiver at the thought of winter in any other state. (and not in No.Cal, because it gets cold, up there).

2:05 am

dart001

Maybe not 100% factual, but close!
Just in case ya didn't know...
Minnesota became the 32nd state on May 11, 1858 and was originally settled by a lost tribe of Norwegians seeking refuge from the searing heat of Wisconsin 's winters.

Minnesota gets it's name from the Sioux Indian word "mah-nee-soo-tah," meaning, "No, really... They eat fish soaked in lye."

The state song of Minnesota is "Someday the Vikings will... Aw, never mind."

The Mall of America in Bloomington , Minnesota covers 9.5 million square feet and has enough space to hold 185,000 idiot teenagers yapping away on cell phones.

Madison, Minnesota is known as "the lutefisk capital of the world." Avoid this city at all costs.

"The Mary Tyler Moore Show" was set in Minneapolis , Minnesota , and was Mary's first real acting job since leaving the "Dick van Dyke Show. The show about a single woman's struggle to find happiness in the big city was originally titled "Life Without Dick," but that was changed for some reason.

Downtown Minneapolis has an enclosed skyway system covering 52 blocks, allowing people to live, work, eat, and sleep without ever going outside. The only downside to this is that a Norwegian occasionally turns up missing.

Cartoonist Charles M. Shultz was born in Minneapolis , Minnesota and grew up in St. Paul. He was the only artist to accurately depict the perfectly circular heads of Minnesota natives.

The Hormel Company of Austin , Minnesota produces 6 million cans of Spam a year, even though no one actually eats it. Spam is a prized food in Japan & Hawaii--Spam sushi!!

Minnesota license plates are blue & white and contain the phrase "Blizzards on the 4th of July - you get used to it."

Frank C. Mars, founder of the Mars Candy Co. was born in Newport, Minnesota . His 3 Musketeers candy bar originally contained three bars in one wrapper, each filled with a different flavor of nougat -chocolate, Spam and lutefisk.

Tonka trucks continue to be manufactured in Minnetonka, Minnesota, despite the thousands of GI Joe dolls killed by them annually in rollover accidents. No airbags, no seat belts. These things are deathtraps, I tell ya!

Author Laura Ingalls Wilder was raised at Walnut Grove, Minnesota, and was famous for writing the "Little House" series of books, as well as inventing the "Spam diet" which consists of looking at a plate of Spam until you lose your appetite. Much like the "lutefisk diet"

The snowmobile was invented in Roseau , Minnesota so as to allow families a means of attending 4th of July picnics

Minnesotans are almost indistinguishable from Wisconsinites. The only way to tell them apart is to ask if they voted for Mondale in '84.

Now... it's up to you to forward this to all your friends If one of them does not forward it to others, he/she will be given an entrance pin to attend the Eelpout Festival in Walker, MN....in February --

Cold is a relative thing ya know....

At 65 degrees, Arizonans turn on the heat. People in Minnesota plant gardens.
At 60, Californians shiver uncontrollably. People in Minnesota sunbathe.
At 50, Italian & English cars won't start. People in Minnesota drive with the windows down..
At 40, Georgians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves, wool hats. People in Minnesota throw on a flannel shirt.
At 35, New York landlords finally turn up the heat. People in Minnesota have the last cookout before it gets cold.
At 20, People in Miami all die. Minnesotans close their windows.
At 0, Californians fly away to Mexico . People in Minnesota get out their winter coats.
At 10 below zero, Hollywood disintegrates. The Girl Scouts in Minnesota are selling cookies door to door.
At 20 below, Washington DC runs out of hot air. (Ya think? Nah.). People in Minnesota let their dogs sleep indoors.
At 30 below, Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. Minnesotans get upset because they can't start the snowmobile.
At 40 below, ALL atomic motion stops. People in Minnesota start saying..."Cold enough for ya, eh?"
At 50 below, heck freezes over. Minnesota public schools will open 2 hours late.

2:05 am

dart001

the last part is pretty funny

2:06 am

Nef

westford, I don't know how those tears happen. And I didn't know the surgeon but my insurance company sent me to him (that particular hospital had a very high rating for successful hip replacement

2:06 am

melonheadjujube

It is funny :D

2:06 am

jhb

Hi Christine - Are you complaining about the cold?

2:08 am

westford

thanks dart..going to send it to my cousin..he married a Minnesota girl..they live in Maine now and find it quite tropical

2:08 am

melonheadjujube

Eek. I have to wake up for work in 4 hours. Thanks to you all for kind words, good advice, and encouragement. Goodnight, good morning, good day! [poof!]

2:08 am

dart001

nite melon

2:09 am

westford

good night mel hope you can make the right decision and be pain free

2:10 am

Nef

LOL, dart! That's pretty much true I think; except the Minneapolis skyway is 80 blocks long now (the Skyway in St. Paul is only 50 blocks lon).

2:10 am

westford

nef I meant it's helpful to be in your profession and know what they're talking about

2:10 am

dart001

love the last temp...school will be 2 hrs late lol

2:10 am

Nef

I know for a fact that if you spit in 40 below zero weather your spit hits the ground frozen.

2:11 am

westford

now that's cold !!

2:11 am

jhb

How do you know that Nef? When I lived in Montreal it was too cold to go outside and spit.

2:11 am

broll

We visited my sister near Rochester one winter. It was 20 below when we got there. Then it got cold!

2:12 am

Nef

now that is very true, westford. I go in to DH's many appointments and have to tell him what the doctors say all the time

2:12 am

dart001

before cell phones...was dangerous to drive in that cold..if something happened you would freeze in the car...or going for help

2:13 am

westford

so glad your surgery was sucessful nef hope your DH is getting better too

2:13 am

Nef

we always go outside; but it rarely gets that cold these days here (I moved 320 miles south for the warmer climate here in the Twin Cities; I grew up in NW Minnesota; near North Dakota and Canada.

2:15 am

dart001

that is really cold up there...we always did too..because you had to....working mid shifts were a pain...you would have to go out and start your car 2 or 3 times a night or it wouldn''t start in the morn

2:15 am

Nef

I was a county health nurse up there in the early 70's, dart. I was on the road all the time at 30 and 40 below. My sister is a vet up there and she says it isn't as cold these days: it only gets to 20 and 30 below these days.

2:16 am

dart001

my last winter there was 10-11 and we had a lot of snow...you didnt have a winter last year

2:16 am

dart001

2010-2011 that is

2:16 am

Nef

what kind of work do you do dart that you worked odd shifts?

2:17 am

dart001

was doing air traffic control

2:17 am

Nef

we didn't have a winter last year! That's why I said we need some cold here

2:17 am

Nef

ahh. another thankless job...

2:18 am

dart001

24/7/365

2:19 am

Nef

2010-11 was a rough winter for us. DH was still too weak to do much but was finally walking again and my hip was too painful to be out shovelling (I never could start the snow blower; we sold it last year)

2:19 am

dart001

worst was quick turns during a snowstorm....8 hrs between shifts...had to fight the snow home..shovel out...wake up early and shovel again and then fight the snow back to work

2:20 am

dart001

you would get about 4 hrs sleep if lucky

2:20 am

dart001

snow was waist deep in my front yard on dec 9...and i'm 6'6"

2:21 am

Nef

We were very lucky in that we had a number of young friends who came and shoveled us out several different times. It was so funny; the Sunday we had about 2 feet of snowthat blew into drifts, our daughter posted on FB that we were snowed in and within 2 hours we had 6 people shoveling out our driveway!

2:22 am

dart001

that's great!!

2:23 am

Nef

I think we're talking about the same storm. I just didn't want to exsaggerate (sorry can't spell)

2:24 am

Nef

I know our Rav 4 was drifted in to the windows on the west side....

2:24 am

dart001

we had 17 inches in mid november...then 17 more 1st week of dec...plus a few in between

2:24 am

Nef

yep. Fun times! :-)

2:25 am

dart001

sold my snowblower to someone i worked with...he sent me a text with a picture of it and asked if i missed it yet...i took a pic of our bare front yard and told him not yet lol

2:26 am

Nef

LOL! I bet he's glad he has it this year! (We gave in and have hired a plowing service)

2:27 am

dart001

he said he has used it quite a f ew times so far

2:28 am

Nef

We've been plowed out about 5 times this winter (I think they only came 4 times last year)

2:29 am

dart001

i believe it...last year airport only had 15 inches the whole year...not sure what you are up to now...was there over NYD and i think you've had some since then

2:29 am

Nef

Oh, Man!! Lok at the time! I need sleep and I should go to bed instead of falling asleep here again...

2:30 am

Nef

I think we've only had another 2 inches since then.....

2:30 am

Nef

we NEED more snow!

2:30 am

dart001

me too but down to 3 left list free so far...trying to find them before i doze off

2:30 am

dart001

i might get a round of golf in tomorrow....55 and 20-30 mph winds...might be a bit cool with the wind

2:31 am

Nef

Well, I need to go to bed. Thanks for talking about our lovely state, dart; See you later! Happy Babbling, everyone!

2:31 am

dart001

nite nef....enjoyed the chat...tc

2:32 am

Nef

2:32 am

dart001

3:04 am

flosey

3:06 am

flosey

All the company gone now flosey? Must be very quiet.

3:08 am

flosey

yes, we've been alone since late first week of Jan

3:08 am

flosey

but they're talking about coming back for a bit - hubby had a lot of fun taking William down to a park on the water - swings and teeter totters

3:09 am

flosey

walking along the beach

3:09 am

flosey

he saw some young girls and wanted to join them

3:09 am

flosey

William, I mean

3:09 am

flosey

hahaha

3:09 am

westford

sounds like they're great friends

3:10 am

westford

lol I knew you meant that

3:10 am

flosey

hubby bought him a John Deere trackor like his own, also had a truck with it

3:11 am

flosey

tractor

3:11 am

westford

what a great gift

3:11 am

westford

can he ride it?

3:12 am

westford

I remember those pedal cars but they probably don't have those anymore

3:13 am

flosey

no, tiny one, we were skyping earlier tonight and when talk got around to the tractor, he associated with 'Christmas Tree' which please hubby because they went up the mountain property to cut it and bring it down - just misses the highest point in the living room

3:14 am

westford

making beautiful memories for that little boy

3:14 am

flosey

we wondered how Christmas would affect him - remembering and such

3:14 am

flosey

we hope so

3:15 am

westford

how many did you have at your house? Were either of your sons able to be there?

3:16 am

flosey

no, sons got together though

3:16 am

flosey

we've never had all of them under this roof at one time

3:16 am

flosey

have had 3 and their partners, kids

3:17 am

westford

I hope you will be able to someday..

3:17 am

flosey

when we built, I made sure the diningroom would sit no less than 12

3:18 am

flosey

it can be extended into the livingroom

3:18 am

flosey

if needed

3:18 am

westford

that's a Norman Rockwell painting

3:20 am

flosey

will have to ask (painter) daughter to attempt one

3:20 am

flosey

she gave me a painting shed done of the two grandsons with guitar

3:21 am

westford

what a treasure

3:21 am

flosey

she'd

3:21 am

flosey

yes, it is, I'll take a picture of it and post it in my icon hmmm, that would make it pretty small

3:21 am

westford

when I first read that I wondered why she gave you a painting shed lol

3:22 am

flosey

lol

3:23 am

flosey

what I need is a space where I can set my loom up again, I'd enjoy weaving

3:24 am

flosey

my beginning articles were teatowels - good sized ones, and they're still going strong

3:24 am

westford

That looks so interesting and relaxing too

3:25 am

flosey

when first grandson was on the way, I decided to do chenille crib blankets - even daughters wanted one because they were cozy

3:26 am

westford

wow so much nicer than the junk out there now

3:26 am

flosey

dil decided she would need another one! so there were a few around, then gave another to the wife of a chap who came and pruned our apple trees

3:27 am

westford

what made you start..did you learn from someone in your family?

3:27 am

gapeach

Dear peeps, I must head toward the bed now. Good Babbling. Sweet dreams all.

3:27 am

flosey

no, none of my family wove, I took lessons when I came here

3:27 am

westford

good night peach..I may be heading there soon myself..still need one for nbt

3:28 am

flosey

good night Peach, sweet sleep, was glad I got to see you

3:28 am

westford

but you don't have room for your loom now? that's too bad

3:29 am

flosey

no, would have to do too much rearranging

3:29 am

lynxxx

see now if Flosey had the painting shed she could use that

3:30 am

lynxxx

What an interesting conversation to come in on. Hello Flos & West

3:30 am

westford

very true ..hi lyn

3:30 am

flosey

that's what it would take, really need a studio - separate from the house - looms can get noisy

3:30 am

flosey

hi Lum

3:30 am

lynxxx

I can't even imagine weaving/making chenille

3:31 am

flosey

pj dear. fingers aren't finding their way around

3:31 am

flosey

HI LYN

3:32 am

flosey

I didn't have to spin the chenille, I bought it that way, I just wove it

3:32 am

westford

I have heard spinning is impossible

3:33 am

lynxxx

I did a weaving course once - only for a few months and only using a small frame and shuttle. Fun but not something I pursued

3:33 am

westford

but this no talent has still to sew a button on her good coat

3:34 am

lynxxx

My Mother got into spinning and dying - she loved it

3:34 am

flosey

I went all out, thinking I was going to do this for quite a while, loom would comfortably weave a crib sized blanket

3:34 am

westford

my mom crocheted..I wish she would take it up again

3:35 am

lynxxx

well with all that expense you need to take over a bedroom or something and set yourself up - and buy your husband earplugs

3:35 am

flosey

when I bought it, only colour available was off white, had to dye trim colours

3:35 am

flosey

my mom did a lot of fancy work, needle work

3:36 am

flosey

was quite a good seemstress

3:36 am

lynxxx

reminds me - I wonder where that tapestry that I started 14 years ago is?

3:36 am

flosey

that would be fun to pick up again lyn

3:37 am

lynxxx

maybe - one year! - quite happy knitting when I want to relax

3:38 am

Haz1558

You'll never guess what I'm doing.

3:38 am

flosey

I knit bulky sweaters for son and both dils soon after moving out here

3:38 am

lynxxx

Noooo - not sewing!!!!!

3:39 am

flosey

ah Haz, and what are you doing?

3:39 am

Haz1558

YES!

3:39 am

westford

may I bring my coat over?

3:39 am

lynxxx

I don't believe it

3:39 am

Haz1558

I'm sewing the hem of a pair of trousers. Hateful job.

3:39 am

lynxxx

lol West

3:39 am

flosey

wow, and if I remember correctly, that was not a favourite hobby of yours?

3:39 am

flosey

oh, I agree, one job I did hate

3:40 am

Haz1558

This is not being done for pleasure - needs must!

3:40 am

westford

it's a sin what they charge here for that

3:40 am

Haz1558

I tell you, the needle and thread know it's an amateur in charge.

3:40 am

flosey

I know that one, hubby does it every time he buys jeans or slacks

3:40 am

flosey

I'd gladly pay someone else to do it

3:41 am

flosey

some of the stores have staff who will make such alterations

3:41 am

westford

Haz is going to start a cottage industry

3:41 am

Haz1558

I always pay someone to do shortening, it's just that the hem has come undone and sellotape wouldn't look right.

3:41 am

lynxxx

My husband got sick of waiting for me to do mends/alterations - he takes it to a tailor he found who is reasonable (I never said I wouldn't do it)

3:41 am

Haz1558

And safety pins have a habit of peeking through.

3:41 am

flosey

how about fabric glue?

3:41 am

Jivingjenny0

I used to sew a lot, made 3 wedding dresses and also a suit for my son

3:42 am

lynxxx

staples Haz

3:42 am

flosey

have never tried it

3:42 am

lynxxx

wow Jenny

3:42 am

Jivingjenny0

my son in law staples his work trousers to get a better fit

flosey

wow, now there's talent, Jenny

3:42 am

Haz1558

I've got a glue gun...

3:42 am

westford

double wow

3:43 am

Jivingjenny0

I took over the spare room and worked in there for years, but over the last 10 years I have done less and less and now only do essentials like sewing on buttons and mending

3:43 am

westford

great jenny I'll send you my coat with the missing button

3:44 am

lynxxx

You can try that double side mending tape that you heat up with an iron too

3:44 am

westford

we moved into this house 5 years ago and I found a shower curtain I liked..I pinned up the hem and the pins are still there

3:44 am

Jivingjenny0

I also used to do free style embroidery and because my daughter was also mad about butterflies and caterpillers I embroidered them all over her wedding dress

3:44 am

Haz1558

I'm just feeling very he6/24 and tackling this myself.

3:45 am

lynxxx

gorgeous Jenny

3:45 am

Jivingjenny0

if i lived near enough Westford I do it for you. My brother saves his buttons for me to sew on when I visit him

3:46 am

flosey

thanks Haz, needed that he

3:46 am

westford

thanks jenny you're very sweet

3:46 am

westford

does that iron on tape work?

3:47 am

Haz1558

Other breaking news - we've found a new dog.

3:47 am

westford

ooh that is good news

3:47 am

lynxxx

usually for at least one wash

3:47 am

flosey

don't think I ever used it west

3:47 am

flosey

wonderful news Haz, good for you

3:47 am

lynxxx

Yay!!! when do you get him/her

3:48 am

flosey

daughter is forever sending us pictures of adoptables

3:48 am

Haz1558

Dempsey - a 7 month old blue roan cocker spaniel. His head is apparently not quite big enough for the show ring so his breeder wanted a new home for him. He'll be coming to us in March, once I get the Festival finished.

3:48 am

flosey

he sounds lovely, Haz

3:49 am

westford

he does and love the name

3:49 am

Haz1558

I organise the Speech and Drama section of our local festival - it's a busy time so I wanted to wait until afterwards so I could concentrate on getting him settled in.

3:49 am

lynxxx

off to check out blue ro**(PS PB for you Haz) spaniel

3:49 am

Haz1558

He's lovely - we met him on Wednesday evening and he was really friendly and tailwaggish.

3:50 am

Haz1558

I know - ro4/4 sends me to the PB but what with sewing and all I'm throwing caution to the winds.

3:50 am

dizgrannie

well here in NSW Australia...we hit 47 degrees centigrade...around 125 farenheit......but we have just been blessed with a cool blustery wind change. Just hope where the fires are, don't cop the wind.

3:51 am

lynxxx

very nice - not as glamorous as Spangle - so a lovely change - they even look a bit ruff and tumble for a boy dog. I am very excited for you Haz

3:51 am

westford

diz that is entirely too warm

3:52 am

lynxxx

phew Diz, nasty. We have just been having one off stinkers down here. Although there is a pretty nasty fire down in Gippsland at the memoent

3:52 am

Haz1558

We had hankered after another Welsh but it just wasn't working out so we've opted for a cocker. He's smaller than Spangle but maybe it's better to have a change so fewer comparisons.

3:52 am

dizgrannie

west...tell me about it...a/con has been going on stop

3:53 am

westford

our Springer Winston was our very best dog..we will never have another as good as he was

3:53 am

Haz1558

Hem done - only pricked my finger once but didn't draw blood. Maybe I'm making progress with this sewing lark.

3:54 am

westford

you make me proud haz

3:54 am

lynxxx

sounds like you need a thimble

3:55 am

lynxxx

(don't send the coat to Haz West, it will come back all bloodied)

3:55 am

Haz1558

I know! Sewing = blood, sweat and tears!

3:57 am

lynxxx

ah The Elephant Man is here

3:57 am

westford

babble is that for me..please help with the 4th column second a

3:58 am

westford

just got it..and nbt nbs and I can finally get to bed

3:58 am

Haz1558

Well done, westford, and sleep well.

3:58 am

lynxxx

goodnight West, sleep tight

3:59 am

westford

thanks haz and lyn..I will dream of sewing

4:00 am

Haz1558

The only time I dreamt of sewing was when I was having terrible dreams because of malaria tablets. I dreamt I was furious because a shop wouldn't sell me a crossstitch kit of an elephant.

4:01 am

lynxxx

so malaria tablets prior to the African trip then?

4:01 am

Haz1558

Yes, and the dreams continued throughout the trip and for a week or two afterwards.

4:02 am

Haz1558

Husband had the same problem - we used to quiz each other on what we had been dreaming about as it was quite entertaining.

4:02 am

Haz1558

His frustration was not being allowed to take a lawn-mower on board a plane.

4:03 am

Haz1558

In his dreams, I mean. He's not normally one for taking machinery on holiday.

4:03 am

lynxxx

how odd that you had such strange dreams and obviously very vivid

4:04 am

Haz1558

I know, it was very peculiar but at least we didn't have any really nasty side effects.

4:05 am

lynxxx

happy that it accepts Australian hens

4:06 am

Haz1558

I know, It's an Aussie grid for sure.

4:10 am

lynxxx

BBL I had better make myself some dinner b4 it gets too late and I talk myself out of it. Bye for now

4:10 am

flosey

cant get the ch7, does it add to the hen?

4:12 am

Haz1558

Bye lynxxx.

4:12 am

Haz1558

No, it's an unusual word, flosey, let me think how to clue it.

4:13 am

Haz1558

First four letters as with the task (ch5/14) then first three letters of a verb meaning to shake up, to annoy, to provoke.

4:14 am

Haz1558

That's for ch7/44 - ch7/36 starts the same way but ends in a charged particle.

4:14 am

flosey

got it, thanka zhaz

4:15 am

flosey

Haz

4:15 am

Haz1558

Good, I should really look it up to see what it means.

4:16 am

Haz1558

Latin plural for one who leads a chorus. So now we know.

4:16 am

flosey

gpt them both, thanks Haz, great clues

4:16 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

4:17 am

Haz1558

I'm going to take a break and do some errands. Enjoy the grid, flosey. Bye!

4:17 am

flosey

thanks Haz, I'll be heading off to bed soon

1:10 pm

Lots of it Nef. And they sell gluten free cake mixes as well.

1:10 pm

Nef

flourless cakes? (I'll need to Google that one!)

1:10 pm

hego

true Nef

1:11 pm

hurshy

yeah i had a very delicious flourless chocolate cake at christmas time from a place we have here called chocopologie

1:11 pm

hego

flourless cakes are egg based and very good.

1:11 pm

hego

Lots of them are chocolate.

1:12 pm

hego

just kind of souffles

1:12 pm

Nef

thanks! That helps a lot! :-)

1:12 pm

MollyL

Keep in miind that flourless cakes are very dense and not light like regular cake.

1:12 pm

sprite

Ks killed

1:13 pm

hurshy

some are good and some are not so good. it depends on if they are dense and CREAMY or dense and DRY

1:13 pm

1:13 pm

1:13 pm

Nef

My DH's b'day is coming up and we'll be celebrating with some friends and 1 has a gluten allergy.

1:14 pm

It seems like gluten allergy is the new "food issue".

1:14 pm

hego

you can get a special dessert just for her.

1:14 pm

hego

true Molly

1:14 pm

hego

My husband had celiac diease before it was fashionable.

1:15 pm

Nef

Our daughter-in-law is on a gluten free vegetarian diet because she thinks it will help her mental state..... (I haven't noticed a difference though)

1:15 pm

hego

lolol

1:16 pm

hurshy

yeah i have heard of people saying they do better off gluten but personally i loves me the bread

1:17 pm

hego

everything in moderation is my credo.

1:17 pm

Nef

According to his wife, he has severe skin problems related to a gluten sensitivity; and I have seen that before; so I don't think it's celiac disease nor just a passing fad.

1:18 pm

hego

that's unusual

1:18 pm

cybernan

2nd tr 7/40, please?

1:18 pm

MollyL

I have watched parents struggle to keep autistic kids on a gluten free diet because it was supposed to "help" and later they have told me it didn't do squat.

1:19 pm

hego

it doesn't Molly

1:19 pm

Nef

I did look it up, hego, and skin problems (similar to excema) can be caused by gluten sensitivity

1:19 pm

MollyL

tr + I (past tense) **** the bell + Popeye says I ** what I **

1:20 pm

hurshy

to paraphrase the witch of the west... "oh what a word, what a word"

1:20 pm

cybernan

have that one, ty molly -- looking for the 2nd one

1:21 pm

MollyL

The operative words there are "can be". I know people with eczema who have tried gluten free and it hasn't helped.

1:21 pm

Nef

Yeah, the diet for autism reminds me of the diet for ADHD (or my DIL's thinking): almost wishful thinking

1:23 pm

Oh no no no. No snoozing! You meet the most eclectic people in Airport waiting rooms. Airport waiting rooms are terrific places for meeting random people, who you may not come across in your normal day to day life!

3:02 pm

cosdem

Just stay away from the bathrooms :P

3:06 pm

I got fog-bound in LAX once, and met the most interesting people ever! Then, I got bumped up to first class for my return flight to London, because I had been chatting to a VIP's mother, totally unawares!

4:59 pm

No, once he's recuperated and up walking on all fours he will be going to an adoptive home.

5:01 pm

stidgmere

Glad the recovery is starting, bichon. We had a bird fly into our window pane this morning. By afternoon he was just feathers because the crows got to him.

If you're twitching then that means you are still hanging in there and what a good sport, crossy!

9:39 pm

crosshair

athe greatest gift i have found,that a husband and wife can give to each other is growing old together and sharing the same time frame of movies,music and silence!!

9:41 pm

NonnieLight

and laughter, crossy. My husband and I have survived by being able to laugh together.

9:41 pm

crosshair

whoever said silence is golden has vastly underrated it

9:41 pm

crosshair

i make myself the fool to see my beloved laugh and i do not mind at all as it is music to my ears

10:01 pm

Dorens

uh, welkie??

10:02 pm

welki

hi dorens - i read back into the chat. crossy's son is having a guest sleep over tonight, a young woman

10:02 pm

welki

he said he's planning on no sleep, is a 'wreck' *lol*

10:04 pm

welki

with shisha tobacco, of course :)

10:04 pm

Dorens

all very interesting, but why do you want to go to the pb??

10:05 pm

welki

oh pooh.

10:05 pm

welki

how strict are you, because i don't see anyone else looking and i really don't like that pb thing - no cabana boys lately

10:05 pm

Dorens

pooh. reminds me of old days with nut and renny flinging pooh. certainly different chat patterns over the years

10:06 pm

welki

hmm - to me, that would be flinging poo. i see winny the pooh flying through the air if we flung pooh!

10:07 pm

Dorens

ah, but the boys can be there if you want them... it's all a matter of what you feel like entering in chog. And of course we could always stock with salted caramels, or brandy alexanders or whatever pleases you

10:07 pm

Dorens

and yes, you are right about poo vs pooh! my mistake

10:08 pm

welki

i don't have a problem flinging Pooh - kind of cute :)

10:08 pm

welki
