VolleymomDee

1:51 am

grannyrose

dee, we have had some very welcome rain last night and today. such a relief after our high temps.

1:51 am

VolleymomDee

we had rain, slush, sleet, then snow in about 12 hours

1:51 am

VolleymomDee

I bet

1:52 am

grannyrose

oh thanx dee. and oh, yeah, dart...so totally need to do that.

1:52 am

joshuavorbis

we are having a pretty impressive snow right now

1:52 am

grannyrose

ugh, dee, doesn't sound pleasant

1:53 am

Lizlin

So glad you've had some rain down there - hope we can send you some more of ours :)

1:53 am

grannyrose

liz!!! everything okay in your neck of the woods?

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

Actually, I wish it were daytime, so I could see it (after watching all the junk during the daylight; it would have been nice to see a snowfall)

1:53 am

joshuavorbis

it's like a heavy summer rain, except instead of fat drops of water it is huge fluffy snowflakes that turn to slush immediately. lightning also

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

How much are you expecting, josh?

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

Always so strange to have lightning and snow simultaneously.

1:54 am

Lizlin

Sure Rose, just rain and more rain but no flooding!

1:54 am

joshuavorbis

30cm was the forecast, so i guess around a foot?

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

Wow.

1:54 am

dart001

they give in mms and cms volley

1:54 am

dart001

2.54 cm=1 inch

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

Forgot about that. Glad you translated into number I recognize :)

1:55 am

joshuavorbis

100cm = slightly more than 3 feet

1:55 am

grannyrose

liz, what's the latest on gympie? my elderly aunt still lives there.

1:55 am

joshuavorbis

it looks like at least 2/3rds of that has fallen in the last 4 hours

1:56 am

dart001

im ok with celcius/faren. but the rain/snow stuff takes awhile

1:56 am

VolleymomDee

We are just south of the "snow line", so I think we will only have a couple of inches.

1:57 am

VolleymomDee

My math skills are not what they used to be... I haven't used them enough in the past few years to remember automatically.

1:57 am

Lizlin

Not too bad I think Rose - haven't heard anything. Lots of showers according to the forecast!

1:57 am

VolleymomDee

I loved all math, except for geometry and story problems.

1:58 am

Lizlin

Looking at news, Rose, the river peaked last night and they're clearing up now.

1:58 am

joshuavorbis

i end up doing c/f and imperial/metric conversions on the phone all the time when talking to my family, so i'm fairly efficient at it

1:58 am

grannyrose

okay, thanx liz. i really must get in touch with my cousin up there. any disruptions anywhere to power etc?

1:58 am

VolleymomDee

Good practice, Josh.

1:58 am

Lizlin

Hope your aunt's OK :)

1:58 am

VolleymomDee

How's married life, Josh?

1:59 am

grannyrose

thanx liz, so do i.

2:00 am

Lizlin

I'm sure if there was anything to tell, Rose, you'd have heard. Bad news travels quickly!!!!BBL - over half way, so I'm happy with that but need a break now. Good luck to all still working on the grid. I

2:00 am

joshuavorbis

2:04 am

VolleymomDee

True for many, josh... definitely times have changed regarding when to have kids.

2:04 am

grannyrose

know what you mean, dee. i'm still 30 in my head....

2:04 am

dart001

im 35 lol

2:05 am

VolleymomDee

lol, also in your head, dart :)

2:05 am

dart001

or im dyslexic..one of the two

2:05 am

VolleymomDee

LOL... if you were 35, you wouldn't be needing a heating pad now

2:05 am

rubyfoo

it's nice to see everybody

2:06 am

VolleymomDee

Dyslexic + 4 for me :(

2:06 am

rubyfoo

My son will be 50 this year and I'll be 70! Hard to imagine

2:06 am

VolleymomDee

Great to see you, too, Ruby!

2:06 am

dart001

if i wouldn't have sold my snowblower when i moved i wouldn't be using the heating pad

2:06 am

rubyfoo

thank you mom

2:06 am

grannyrose

ruby, sweetie, we are glad to see you, hun

2:06 am

rubyfoo

and no drama surrounding this drama queen today

2:07 am

VolleymomDee

Wow, that's great! You will be finding a new one I'll bet. That is waaaay too much snow to be shoveling.

2:08 am

dart001

nah....will wait to see if we have winters like the last two...or this one

2:08 am

rubyfoo

it continues to be very cold here but when (if) the sun comes out in the afternoon, a little bit melts every day

2:08 am

rubyfoo

I'm afraid it will all come down from the roof at once and kill somebody

2:09 am

rubyfoo

this is the most snow we've have since we've been here and the temps haven't reached above freezing (exzcept in direct sun) in 2 months

2:09 am

VolleymomDee

You seem to be getting the snow we used to get, dart. We have had zippo the last few years, which seems so odd to me.

2:10 am

dart001

we had 3 inches last year....pretty much golfed all winter when temp was warm enough

2:10 am

grannyrose

gosh, ruby. i hope you are staying nice and warm, hun.

2:10 am

dart001

*waves again to ruru in the bleachers*

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

Truly odd weather. Glad you are having nice sunshine, ruby. That is why we have seen so much bare ground this year - gorgeous sunshine (which I love)!

2:11 am

VolleymomDee

lol... waving to ru, too!

2:12 am

rubyfoo

every doom is a diff temp: studio is OK, living room is fine if there's a fire, kitchen is freezing. I walk around sneezing because of the changes

2:12 am

rubyfoo

I'm glad to lose some of the snow, but, underneath there is endless mud!

2:12 am

VolleymomDee

awww, hope you can stay well

2:13 am

rubyfoo

and large mud "stars" -- puppy prints

2:13 am

rubyfoo

all over the house

2:15 am

VolleymomDee

I think it's been years since it was on TV. I watch it on netflix.

2:21 am

VolleymomDee

TTFN.... waving!

2:22 am

rubyfoo

does anybody know the BBC series Luther? It is outstanding

2:22 am

rubyfoo

2 short seasons, but worth finding

2:22 am

lynxxx

I've luckily caught a couple of episodes -it was great!

2:22 am

flosey

have not heard of it ruby

2:23 am

flosey

I'll look for it

2:23 am

rubyfoo

Idris Elba is the star and it is truly worth looking for; maybe netflix has it....(we don't get netflix)

2:24 am

rubyfoo

he was in THe Wire and had a small part in The Big C (you can tell that I watch a lot of TV)

2:25 am

Glantarell

morning all

2:26 am

lynxxx

hi Glant

2:26 am

Glantarell

ooh, Idris Elba is fab, and I loved Luther

2:26 am

rubyfoo

hello glanta!

2:26 am

Glantarell

Hi Ruby, Lyn

2:26 am

lynxxx

How is your Mum Glant?

2:27 am

Glantarell

Mum is much better, she has started looking after herself now

2:27 am

Glantarell

Bless her, she is on her 3rd day pf hospital appointments this week - they lay on transport because she can't drive yet, but that means it takes all day

2:28 am

lynxxx

that's very good news and a big weight off your shoulders

2:28 am

rubyfoo

how old is she, glant?

2:28 am

Glantarell

she saw the carpal tunnel people on Monday, the nephrologist (kidneys) on Tuiesday, and the hip surgeon today

2:28 am

Glantarell

78, soon to be 79

2:28 am

rubyfoo

wow, that's a lot of stuff all at once

2:29 am

lynxxx

wow...a full renovation happening there

2:29 am

Glantarell

it is a great weight off my shoulders, but i think the looking after muma d trying to hold down a fiull time job 80 miles apart took their toll - i developed a nasty abscess under my jaw 2 weeks ago and have been off work for a week and a ahalf

2:30 am

rubyfoo

when it's all over, she'll probably want a little plastic surgery....lol

2:30 am

Glantarell

second set of antibiotics are kicking in, and i hope to lose 2 teeth before the weekend, because i can't get properly better till i do

2:30 am

lynxxx

tell her to ask if she can get some freebies while its all happening...maybe a mini face lift to make her feel better?

2:30 am

rubyfoo

and you'll want two weeks in a spa!

2:30 am

Glantarell

she's not the facelift ttype LOL

2:30 am

rubyfoo

snap, lynxx

2:31 am

lynxxx

Now that doesn't sound so hot Glant - a lot of pain I bet

2:31 am

Glantarell

yes lyn

2:32 am

Glantarell

i was alternating ibuprofen and paracetamol ag 2-3 hour intervals for a week, had to write it all down so i didn't kill myself LOL

2:32 am

Glantarell

but the pain is finally easing

2:32 am

flosey

just took a break, hello Glant, glad to hear things are your mom is getting the care she needs, sorry about your own problems, hope that is cleared up real soon

2:32 am

Glantarell

i need to lose the teeth but i cn't open my mouth fr enough yet - maybe tomorrow or friday

2:33 am

Glantarell

but at least i feel human today, had the fikrst whole night's sleep for a ten days last night

2:33 am

lynxxx

I remember getting a lot of abscesses under my teeth in my 20s but they don't sound as bad as yours

2:33 am

Glantarell

i had a lump the size of half a hen's egg last week, it's down to blackbird egg now :-)

2:35 am

rubyfoo

that sounds awful, glant, I wish I could send you some of my pain meds (and a little Xanax to help you sleep)

2:36 am

lynxxx

I believe that when you are under constant stress and running around your immune system weakens a lot and you are vulnerable to all sorts of stuff. It certainly does with me.

2:36 am

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up

2:36 am

lynxxx

Hey Lickety. And thanks

2:36 am

flosey

thanks lickety

2:36 am

Glantarell

just hoping it will be a distant memory before long and looking forward to eating something which doesn;t come via a straw

2:36 am

rubyfoo

I agree, lynxx, all of my allergies developed during stressful times

2:37 am

Glantarell

that's exactly what i think about immune systems Lyn

2:37 am

Glantarell

thanks Lickety

2:37 am

rubyfoo

if the straw is big enough, you can have smoothies with rum

2:37 am

Glantarell

they have warned me that one of the antibiotics i am taking will make me violently ill if i have alcohol

2:38 am

Glantarell

i am not risking trying to be sick when i can'topen my mouth LOL

2:38 am

rubyfoo

oh, sorry, didn't realize that

2:39 am

Glantarell

but i haven't felt like a drink in any case -

2:39 am

lynxxx

I hope you needed to lose some weight Glant - seems that that might be the only good side effect for you

2:39 am

Glantarell

yup, i needed to lose a lot of weight, this has shaved half a stone off me the last 2 weeks

2:40 am

Glantarell

the silver lining to this cloud :-)

2:41 am

rubyfoo

and by the time your mom is on her feet and your mouth is OK, the flowers will be up and it will be happy Spring!

2:41 am

Glantarell

i saw some daffodils yesterday, they cheered me up :-)

2:42 am

rubyfoo

rubyfoo

Glantarell

2:55 am

rubyfoo

2:55 am

grannyrose

ruby, see me at 2:46

2:55 am

lynxxx

fabric very popular in the 50s

2:55 am

Glantarell

it was the pt bit that i missed when granny clued it

2:55 am

rubyfoo

I saw you, but kept trying "sit" instead of pt

2:55 am

lynxxx

add to it Ruby for 7 &8

2:55 am

rubyfoo

duh me

2:56 am

flosey

in6/18, in + horses quarters minus last letter

2:58 am

Glantarell

rump aint working

2:58 am

flosey

meaning where they spend nights, Glant

2:58 am

lynxxx

stabl?

2:58 am

rubyfoo

it think it's what they put in burgers.... eeew

2:58 am

Glantarell

oh, i see, i was on the wrong tack

2:58 am

flosey

each horse has his/her own

2:59 am

lynxxx

lol Ruby!

2:59 am

Glantarell

always thought that was a double l

2:59 am

Glantarell

ty flosey

2:59 am

lynxxx

I am obviously not a cowgirl

3:00 am

flosey

way back, I said drop last letter

3:00 am

rubyfoo

a burger walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender says "What, I can't hear you?' The burger replies "I'm a little horse"

3:00 am

flosey

lol ruby, that's cute

3:00 am

lynxxx

an old joke with a modern twist

3:00 am

Glantarell

has the horsemeat scandal made itself felt on the western side of the pond?

3:01 am

rubyfoo

I think labeling is stricter in the US, not that it protects people from antibiotics and worse

3:01 am

lynxxx

Its news down here...Ikea has assured everyone that their meatballs here are made from Australian beef

3:01 am

rubyfoo

years ago, when there was a beef boycott in the US, I ate horsemeat. No big deal except is was orange-y

3:01 am

Glantarell

the labels here are strict, but if somebody lies there is no system which can work

3:01 am

flosey

yes it has Glant - has been found in some places in Canada

3:02 am

herinfernallady

hi

3:02 am

Glantarell

i have no problem eating horsemeat f it is safe, i'd just like it labeled as such

3:02 am

Glantarell

hi herin, long time no see

3:02 am

Alexis Elise

Is Australian Beef made out of kangaroo?

3:02 am

lynxxx

hi Infernal!

3:02 am

herinfernallady

I have a huge problem with eating anything mislabbled

3:02 am

flosey

during the was, it was available in Quebec I think

3:02 am

rubyfoo

labelling in France is very lax, but the idea of horsemeat doesn't make people shudder as it's an old tradition here

3:02 am

Glantarell

i know i've eaten steak in france that was horse

3:02 am

rubyfoo

3:03 am

flosey

the ""war,

3:03 am

herinfernallady

howdy.

3:03 am

Glantarell

back in the 80s menus read 'steak' and beefsteak' in france

3:03 am

rubyfoo

it is very difficult unless you grow your own!

3:03 am

herinfernallady

Roo tastes and smells different

3:03 am

Glantarell

more livery, roo

3:03 am

Alexis Elise

I hope you're joking

3:03 am

Alexis Elise

I was kidding about the kangaroo

3:03 am

rubyfoo

the "bute" idea is another story -- burgers as painkillers!

3:04 am

herinfernallady

Nope not joking. Roo is redder and meatier.

3:04 am

Glantarell

um, kangaroo os eateb, as is ostrich Alexis

3:04 am

Glantarell

*eaten

3:04 am

herinfernallady

Wallaby is pretty good too

3:04 am

Alexis Elise

I didn't know people ate kangaroo

3:04 am

rubyfoo

and probably leaner

3:04 am

Glantarell

I have eaten it, it is like good steak but can be a bit dry if cooked too long

3:04 am

Alexis Elise

We have a problem here in southern California with people getting free dogs off craigslist and eating them

3:04 am

herinfernallady

The thing is most of the wild roos are wormy and gross and not fit to feed the dogs.

3:05 am

rubyfoo

in France they've eaten everything. There are no deer, squirrels or rabbits, and we live in the country

3:05 am

Glantarell

it's the quality of life and death for the animal which is important, not what species it is

3:05 am

rubyfoo

OMG, Alexis

3:05 am

flosey

Ostrich was being raised on Van. Island, don't know how well it sold

3:05 am

Glantarell

koreans have been eating dogs for millenia

3:05 am

lynxxx

It is pretty commonly available now Alexis - even in Supermarkets here (although not huge quantities)

3:06 am

rubyfoo

dogs are considered "winter meat" in Korea and China eeewww

3:06 am

Glantarell

i have a medieval cookbook, and if it moved, medieval folk ate it

3:06 am

rubyfoo

and we have chows....uh oh

3:06 am

lynxxx

and guinea pigs eaten in South America

3:06 am

Glantarell

all the little birds, hedgehogs, and lots of fish species which we say aren't fit to eat

3:06 am

Alexis Elise

Yes, Ruby... it is the immigrant population that is doing that here with the dogs

3:07 am

rubyfoo

it southern Italy they eat the tiny songbirds, catching them in nets blocking their flight paths

3:07 am

lynxxx

goodness imagine having to skin the chows - would it be worth the effort? and Stew would be safe - no meat on him

3:07 am

rubyfoo

certainly Americans wouldn't eat dog

3:07 am

Glantarell

i eat meat, but i know where it comes form and how it was raised, dn't buy supermarket meat

3:07 am

Alexis Elise

I'm sure there are Americans that would

3:07 am

rubyfoo

but you could sell the fur

3:08 am

rubyfoo

I am getting closer and closer to renouncing meat

3:08 am

lynxxx

they would make a lovely floor rug too Ruby!

3:08 am

herinfernallady

Alexia you would probably find the free dog thing is more for dog fighting than dog meat eating

3:08 am

Glantarell

i don't eat if often

3:08 am

Glantarell

once or twice a month

3:08 am

rubyfoo

I thought about having Ruby stuffed.... :(

3:09 am

rubyfoo

it is a week now and the new pup is coming next week

3:09 am

lynxxx

you couldn't do that - you would be mournful for ever

3:09 am

Alexis Elise

Actually, there is a big problem here with people eating dogs

3:09 am

lynxxx

and Ruffie would be extremely confused that Ruby wouldn't play with him

3:10 am

herinfernallady

Ruby did you lose another pup?

3:10 am

rubyfoo

last night, for the first time, he went on a serious hunt for her, having found the spot where she died and trying to follow the scent

3:10 am

rubyfoo

it was very sad

3:10 am

rubyfoo

yes, my Ruby's heart quit but she had had a good last 8 months and had reached her 10th birthday

3:11 am

herinfernallady

I am sorry Ruby. I have been awol for an age

3:11 am

rubyfoo

but Rafaella is coming from Spain on Tuesday or Wed. She's an 8 wk old beauty

3:12 am

rubyfoo

I've been spreading my sadness all over the chog, terribly self-indulgent, but it helped me through it

3:13 am

herinfernallady

So how many pups have you got now?

3:13 am

rubyfoo

since 1990, we've had six, but never more than 2 at a time

3:13 am

flosey

don't feel so indulgent ruby, we've all voiced sadness, etc, from time to time

3:13 am

rubyfoo

now it's just year-old Ruffino, who arrived a few days after Max died

3:13 am

flosey

and found relief from babble friends

3:14 am

rubyfoo

3:14 am

rubyfoo

you are true blue!

3:14 am

Glantarell

certinly have, it helps to tlk to people who are not emotionally involved

3:14 am

flosey

better to get it out than keep it bottled up inside you

3:14 am

rubyfoo

it really does

3:15 am

rubyfoo

doorbell!

3:17 am

flosey

Hating this weather is an understatement

3:37 am

Jivingjenny0

thanks rose

3:40 am

grannyrose

np's, jenny. herin? the cool change not good for you??

3:40 am

herinfernallady

No. Yesterday was 100 % humidity

3:41 am

lynxxx

round 60 left...Bye everyone

3:42 am

grannyrose

yeah, even at work, with the brand new air-con, we had humidity of 50% in recovery.

3:42 am

grannyrose

see ya, lyn

3:42 am

smores

wtg lynxx...funny I just hit 60 :)

3:42 am

smores

Bye for now :)

3:43 am

herinfernallady

If it is an evap unit it wont do dick with humidity

3:44 am

grannyrose

oh, i've gotta tell you all. there has benn a major oops at work with the construction of our new operating suite.

3:44 am

herinfernallady

?

3:45 am

grannyrose

when they built the new theatres, they put clear glass panels in the doors. consequently, any patient going down the corridor on their way to theatre, can see right into the current operating session.

3:46 am

herinfernallady

That is very bad

3:47 am

herinfernallady

At least it isn't Stawell ER were you have to PAY to see a doctor

3:47 am

grannyrose

and they have completely forgotten to put any cupboards in the anaesthetic rooms. so, recovery is still having to store all the supplies for the operating rooms. aaarrggghhh!!

3:48 am

grannyrose

and any inquisitive child/person climbing on the boundary fence can see straight into recovery...go figure.let's hear it for patient privacy.

3:49 am

herinfernallady

As I said I couldn't believe that you have to pay for a doctor at Stawell public hospital

3:49 am

smores

wow...rose, that is very strange indeed

3:50 am

grannyrose

probably because it's a rural hospital, herin

3:51 am

herinfernallady

still I think it is a dick move

3:51 am

herinfernallady

Hey when we going to catch up?

3:51 am

grannyrose

over easter?

3:52 am

herinfernallady

When is that?>

3:52 am

herinfernallady

herinfernallady

Nice to see you in the chog, Herin..not seen you in ages..take care..have a good evening.

4:13 am

zoozzoom

You are up early, Smores.

4:14 am

smores

Unfortunately

4:14 am

smores

but oh well, sleep is overrated I guess :)

4:15 am

zoozzoom

I must admit..i really like my sleep.

4:16 am

smores

me too, it just doen'st like me lately

4:17 am

smores

er...doesn't

4:18 am

zoozzoom

Sorry to hear that..is there nothing you can take..like a herbal type medicine..or even yoga..which i try at and am not very good at..but it is good.

4:19 am

smores

Yeah, I probably should, if it gets any worse I will

4:20 am

smores

I went to sleep about 11 last night which was very early for me. Woke up at 4am

4:21 am

smores

I usually don't sleep more than 5hours

4:22 am

zoozzoom

Thats being a parent for you :-).....so it sounds like you had most of your quota then.

4:23 am

smores

yep...lol..my alarm rarely gets a chance to do it's job

4:24 am

zoozzoom

I can set my alarm to wake me up at a certain time..yet i most of the time will wake up about a minute before it goes off..strange really.

4:25 am

smores

Yes, I use to do that as well....now I woke up a good hour or so before it goes off

4:25 am

smores

*wake

4:26 am

smores

I'll probably sneak in a nap this afternoon though :)

4:26 am

zoozzoom

I love naps.

4:27 am

smores

:)

4:27 am

smores

BRB...gonna go put some coffee on

4:35 am

smores

mmm...chocolate and coffee, two of my favorite things :)

4:36 am

zoozzoom

hehe enjoy.

4:37 am

smores

strong cuppa coffee and a triple chocolate biscotti

4:38 am

smores

funny, my daughter asked me why they call them biscotti....I told her because you can't have cookies for breakfast :)

4:39 am

zoozzoom

haha..nice one.

4:39 am

zoozzoom

I have honey sandwiches & a cup of tea.

4:39 am

smores

mmm....sounds yummy

4:40 am

zoozzoom

I like that for a morning snack.

4:40 am

MollyL

Smores, ever had your thyroid levels checked? Under active thyroid will cause sleep problems, among other things.

4:40 am

smores

I usually eat a yogurt or some fruit 1st thing....but what the heck

4:41 am

smores

Hi Molly, no I haven't

4:45 am

4:50 am

crosshair

sleep is but a dream to me now

4:50 am

zoozzoom

I do feel sorry for people who do not get the amount they want...it must be hard to function normally without it.

4:51 am

smores

Nah...that's what coffee and chocolates for :)

4:52 am

zoozzoom

lol

4:52 am

crosshair

Lizlin

Fun new icon Molly :)

6:01 am

MimiCat

6:02 am

smores

:)

6:02 am

Lizlin

btw Molly - we did swing around the lamp-posts in the rain - got just as soaked as yesterday.

6:03 am

Lizlin

They don't look very comfortable!

6:03 am

MimiCat

LOL, Molly.

6:03 am

MollyL

Good for you Liz. There is nothing better than going out and getting a good soak in the rain.

6:04 am

MimiCat

Rain? Oh, yeah...I remember that.

6:04 am

Lizlin

We wouldn't have been out for days otherwise! But at least it's warm here! Rainjackets and shorts!

6:04 am

zoozzoom

Ok 12 left i am going to go to the list.

6:04 am

Lizlin

I'll send you some of ours Mimi! it's our rainy season now!

6:05 am

Lizlin

Still have 60 here but haven't listed yet! But have got the list saved for when I need it!

6:05 am

smores

well done zooz...don't think I'll make it that far without listing

6:05 am

MimiCat

We used to have monsoons here, but we're in a 10-year drought, Liz. I so miss thunderstorms.

6:05 am

Lizlin

See lickety's up now though. Just looked!

6:05 am

Lizlin

There was an 8 yr drought before I moved here. i must've brought rain from the UK!

6:06 am

MimiCat

Did ivesy finally pass out or did I miss her saying bye?

6:07 am

smores

:) guess AZ needs a large group of UK'ers to visit

6:07 am

Lizlin

:)

6:08 am

MimiCat

It needs something, alright. It's also a political desert.

6:08 am

rubyfoo

hello again, back from (early) lunch

6:08 am

MimiCat

(Ruby)

6:08 am

smores

{ruby} Hi dear

6:08 am

Lizlin

Hi Ruby - one day closer to Raffie :)

6:10 am

ivesy3

sorry im here lol.. had phone call

6:11 am

ivesy3

that sounded like im sorry im here lol.. i am tired !!

6:11 am

rubyfoo

happy you're here, ivesy

6:11 am

rubyfoo

6:12 am

ivesy3

hi ruby , is the new puppy on his way?

6:12 am

MollyL

*Passes Ivesy a cup of coffee*

6:13 am

ivesy3

ahhhhh, good ty molly.

6:13 am

rubyfoo

I'm not sure of the day yet (or of which airport - Geneva or Lyon), but it may be as early as Tuesday. Yay

6:13 am

zoozzoom

And fireworks for me.

6:13 am

smores

so happy for you ruby :)

6:13 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Ruby.

6:13 am

ivesy3

oh how nice for you and the puppy.. going to such a good home

6:13 am

Lizlin

Congrats zooz :)

6:13 am

smores

WTG zooz :)

6:13 am

rubyfoo

last night, for the first time, Rufie went on a "Ruby hunt". He seemed to pick up her scent someplace and proceeded to sniff every possible part of the house and garden

6:13 am

MimiCat

Did anyone see the Oscars? Honestly, that Kristen Stewart needs an attitude adjustment. Not only can she not act, she always looks so dour. Hey, girl, you've got money and a great career---lighten up!

6:13 am

rubyfoo

yay zoozz!

6:14 am

MollyL

Ruby, you have more energy than I ever will. I don't know how you keep up with two, active dogs.

6:14 am

smores

aww...poor Rufie

6:14 am

Lizlin

Poor Rufie :(

6:14 am

smores

Agree Mimi....

6:15 am

rubyfoo

I don't do anything except write lists and prepare food (and maybe throw a toy or ten in the house)

6:15 am

MimiCat

Mind you, I can't even imagine HOW she got that career....can you say casting couch? Sorry, that was mean.

6:15 am

smores

I know what you mean Molly, can't imagine training a pup again.

6:15 am

MollyL

Kristen Stewart and Rene Zelwegger looked stoned at The Oscars. But then, they always look stoned.

6:15 am

Lizlin

And give them loads of hugs and loves

6:16 am

rubyfoo

we've had 6 chows so far and they;ve all arrived totally housebroken.

6:16 am

rubyfoo

Rafaella is younger, so maybe she won't be, but I'm not worried

6:16 am

Lizlin

Hoping the same for Raffie :)

6:16 am

MollyL

Oh there is so much more to training them than house breaking them.

6:16 am

smores

I don't know Molly, seems like Kristen would smile a bit if she were.

6:16 am

rubyfoo

I've sent some money already, so should know by tonight when and where

6:17 am

rubyfoo

chows are very well-behaved but not really trainable. They are more like (very large!) cats.

6:17 am

MollyL

That's true Smores, but I'm convinced the girl is a major stoner.

6:17 am

ivesy3

te 6/21 plz

6:17 am

MimiCat

I know. Did Kristen hurt her foot or leg? She as also limping. Love Rene's acting but she seems to have "issues." She was dating Bradley Cooper and somehow managed to let him get away....think I would have held him hostage! LOL, smores.

6:18 am

rubyfoo

looking for the te6.....

6:18 am

smores

Wow...ruby, already housebroke. Big plus

6:18 am

smores

BRB

6:18 am

Lizlin

te 6 - as in bowling

6:18 am

MimiCat

I agree, Molly....she always looks like she's visiting another planet.

6:18 am

ivesy3

babies should come housebroken

6:18 am

rubyfoo

they're surprisingly clean dogs and soooo sweet from the first moment

6:18 am

Lizlin

and pl

6:19 am

rubyfoo

ty lizlin, wasn't that in the grid one or two days ago?

6:19 am

ivesy3

ty liz.

6:19 am

Lizlin

Yes - that's why I saw it quite quickly.

6:20 am

MimiCat

Speaking of cats, my Dodger is begging to be fed already. He thinks that just because I'm up, I should be feeding him.

6:20 am

ivesy3

ok, off to try getting a nap.. hagd all

6:20 am

rubyfoo

just found a totally strange ep7 was just guessing

6:20 am

rubyfoo

6:21 am

MimiCat

It's also really weird---all three cats often seem to hear or see something back in the bedroom and are freaked out by it. I don't see or hear anything...should I be spooked?

6:21 am

MimiCat

Bye, ivesy. Hope you can sleep.

6:21 am

Lizlin

Sleep well ivesy :)

6:21 am

rubyfoo

there is probably a big (quiet) lizard under the bed....

6:23 am

MimiCat

Nope--don't have an "under the bed", ruby. It's just so freaky to see them perk their ears up and look toward that room like they're aware of something....hey, if there's a ghost here he/she can at least come out and talk to me...I'd enjoy it!

6:23 am

rubyfoo

just teasing you, mimi

6:23 am

rubyfoo

dogs do that, too, hear mystical stuff

6:24 am

MollyL

Dogs also hear at different frequencies than we do.

6:25 am

MimiCat

I'm convinced my Pywakit communicates telepathically with some spirit or angel....you wouldn't believe how he sometimes will pointedly stare at a blank wall and move his eyes like he's communicating. When that happens, I cannot distract him either. Very cool.

6:26 am

MimiCat

Makes sense, really. After all, he is named after a witch's familiar in Bell, Book and Candle.

6:28 am

rubyfoo

more than half, nbt, nbs and I can go and read in front of the fire. Quel plaisir!

6:28 am

smores

Hi again :)

6:29 am

Enjoy Ruby and have a good day :)

6:32 am

MimiCat

Gotta remember to tell that one to sprite---she's starting to keep track of all the made-up words.

6:33 am

Lizlin

:)

6:34 am

MimiCat

There's a male anatomy word here today that I almost missed completely because my memory isn't as good anymore!

6:35 am

6:35 am

Lizlin

Lots of smiles here today :)

6:35 am

Lizlin

Can't believe how many p's and s's I'm still missing!

6:36 am

MimiCat

I'm getting goofy from lack of sleep. (Did I say "getting" goofy?!)

6:37 am

BabbleRabble

All words have been made up

6:37 am

Lizlin

any clues for pt 6 pls!

6:38 am

MimiCat

OK, BR, let's get all technical early in the morning!

6:38 am

BabbleRabble

It is true no matter when in the day

6:39 am

smores

lol...hi BR

6:39 am

MimiCat

On that note, I'm going to make tea, feed the cat, and ponder my navel. Bye all. Hugs all around.

6:39 am

BabbleRabble

Have a good day Mimi :)

smores

Thanks BR

6:43 am

smores

6:44 am

Lizlin

Yes smores - the word BR just clued.

6:46 am

smores

lol...oh, I didn't know that's what it was :)

6:46 am

Lizlin

I just checked the meaning - it was such an unusual word :)

6:47 am

Lizlin

OK - I'm leaving it for now. 42 left for tomorrow. Enjoy your days :)

6:48 am

YEA! Got all the P's!

8:59 am

Judi

A perfectly good Q, just wasted.

9:05 am

hurshy

you could always just tell us your favorite Q words, as a way of not wasting it

9:06 am

hurshy

for instance, i like "quack", "quality", and "quintessential"

9:07 am

Mr Bob

Morning all

9:08 am

hurshy

morning mr bob. what are your favorite q words?

9:09 am

hurshy

i knew a fellow in college whose middle initial was q, and when someone asked him what it stood for, he joked, "quality, of course!" and i always called him "christopher quality" after that.

9:11 am

Judi

Gah. P's plundered. Finally.

9:13 am

hurshy

why on earth would statins not be in the dictionary??

9:14 am

Judi

Wondered that myself, Hurshy. Our dictionary lags behind the times.

9:15 am

Mr Bob

During the great depression, my

9:15 am

Mr Bob

mother

9:15 am

hurshy

hmm, this story could take awhile

9:15 am

Mr Bob

preservad

9:21 am

Mr Bob

Let me try that again? During the great depression, my mother preserved fruits and vegetables and my father made booze. The first Q word I learned and my favorite is quart

9:21 am

hurshy

quart, a fine q word!

9:22 am

hurshy

we appreciate your contribution to not-wasting-the-q day

9:27 am

Riverdance

thats all I have too hurshy and hello

9:27 am

hokie carla

I've only found the fencing weapon.

9:27 am

hurshy

hello river, care to share YOUR favorite q words?

9:27 am

hokie carla

but now I see the greek letters.

9:27 am

Michnick

Hmm, I don't even have the greek letter (and no it isn't epsilon, that's a phantom)

9:27 am

hurshy

it rhymes with many other greek letters.

9:28 am

Riverdance

dont quote me but that is my fav

9:28 am

Michnick

Thanks hursh

9:28 am

hurshy

quote!

9:28 am

Judi

Finito!

9:29 am

Riverdance

9:29 am

Michnick

In the row of the three I's, I have only found two, and the second one is still blank.

9:29 am

Michnick

Way to go Judi

9:29 am

hokie carla

hmm, never thought about it before. In Scrabble I like qi(s) and qat(s); in everyday usage, ?

9:30 am

hokie carla

ditto, michnick (for the i's)

9:30 am

hurshy

quell is a good one too

9:30 am

hokie carla

quash

9:31 am

Michnick

I used to like quell, but there is an anti-lice shampoo called kwell and I have gone off the word!

9:31 am

9:32 am

Michnick

I am still missing the 5 & 6

Riverdance

I still need 2 i words from the 4th column

9:33 am

hurshy

9:34 am

Riverdance

thanks hurshy - got them now

9:34 am

hokie carla

not seeing them. I hate vowel-starting words!

9:34 am

hurshy

4th & 5th cols grey!

9:34 am

Riverdance

i + pretty material for the is6

9:34 am

hurshy

the 6 is i + fabric

9:35 am

hurshy

then add vowel, then plural

9:35 am

hokie carla

ooh, just found one of my fave H words to gray out the 5th col.

9:35 am

hokie carla

got 'em, thx

9:36 am

Riverdance

I still need one H - dont know what it is

9:36 am

hurshy

probably anagram of lower leg bone, which looks unpronounceable

9:37 am

hokie carla

river do you have hi4/5 that reminds me of my mountain folk? that is usually my last one because I can't believe it's a real word.

9:38 am

Riverdance

I have hi4/5 hi4/5 hi5/12 hi4/5 hi5/12

9:38 am

hokie carla

I still need 2 N's in 4th col.

9:38 am

hurshy

they are all 4's and 5's, babblets and things but nothing too hard

9:38 am

hokie carla

yeah, I think you're missing belonging to him.

9:39 am

Riverdance

got it - thanks hokie

9:39 am

hokie carla

okay, I have ni 4/4, 5/10, 4/5, 4/4, 5/10,4/4

hurshy

9:40 am

hokie carla

ooh, just found an ni5/10

9:40 am

hokie carla

okay, thx. that should narrow it down.

9:41 am

hokie carla

got it! 4th & 5th are gray! ('course I did have a little help with the empty boxes.)

9:41 am

hurshy

epi... epi... hmm

9:46 am

MollyL

Not epi...

9:46 am

hurshy

no? sigh

9:47 am

hokie carla

en something?

9:47 am

uusue2

hi all, here just for a minute but was wondering if anyone could give a clue for the i under the n in the 4th column (the one with 3 words)?

9:47 am

MollyL

No, Hursh was almost right...

9:48 am

hokie carla

how many letters, Molly?

9:49 am

MollyL

i + shiny fabric

9:49 am

hokie carla

sue - is6, 7, & 8. per hurshy, i+fabric, then add a vowel, then a plural

9:49 am

MollyL

ep4, ep7 and ep8

9:50 am

uusue2

thanks, all! That one hasn't worked its way into my internal list of Babble-only words yet...

9:50 am

MollyL

Wow, gorgeous icon picture Sue.

9:50 am

Uneaixoise

wow, that ep7 and 8 . . . never saw that before -- swordsmen, eh?

9:51 am

uusue2

thanks, molly! Clouds can be amazing.

9:51 am

MollyL

Arrggghhh, I was sure Hursh was going to guess it on her own.

9:51 am

uusue2

and thanks for the ep7/8, une!

9:51 am

uusue2

ok, gotta run, will be back online once we're settled in at the cancer center...

9:52 am

Uneaixoise

yw :-) . . . driveby cluing -- *poof*

9:52 am

hokie carla

I'm still not getting it any of the 3. have tried every ep4 I can see. (apparently not)

9:53 am

hurshy

well now we'll never know... i thank une though :)

9:53 am

hokie carla

anyhoo, I really need to be cleaning my kitchen or doing laundry, so I better go. BBL hopefully.

9:55 am

hurshy

i have a very trivial problem but i can't decide what to do

9:56 am

hurshy

perhaps the more trivial the problem, the more paralyzed one becomes

9:57 am

gemini_J13

I find that to be true

9:59 am

Michnick

hurshy, I have dealt with life changing and shattering decisions without aplomb, but take me to a nice restaurant, I can never decide what to order!!

9:59 am

hurshy

the problem is this. i wanted a carved wooden elephant. i ordered one. it took a long time to ship. in the meantime i thought i might prefer a different one by the same company. i emailed but it ended up being too late to switch the order. so, do i want to go through the hassle of returning and getting the other one, or not bother? the real problem is that every website i visit seems to know i ordered this and is showing me nothing but elephant sculptures so it keeps it in my mind!

9:59 am

LuvB

Still having trouble with ep 7&8

9:59 am

Michnick

I mean with aplomb (duh, go misuse fancy words and everyone knows you are dumb)

10:00 am

hurshy

i didn't even notice the typo mich :)

10:00 am

Michnick

How much would returning it set you back? How disappointed are you with the one you received?

10:01 am

hurshy

i don't know how much, i have to see what their return policies are. and i haven't actually received it yet, i think it's coming tomorrow.

10:02 am

hurshy

it is hard to say how much i prefer the other one. since i am probably only ever going to have one wooden elephant, maybe i want it to be just so. but then, neither of them are quite what i had in mind (i had seen one on a mr. rogers episode, that was the inspiration, but can't get one exactly like that)

10:02 am

Michnick

well, wait until tomorrow then, You may just love the one you are receiving. BTW, I hate when websites think they know my mind. I don't even like salespersons making suggestions, and they are human!!

10:02 am

hurshy

yeah it seems crazy that just because you buy one elephant they think it means you want to fill your house with a thousand other elephants

10:03 am

Michnick

Can you try and pull up both pictures and split the screen?

10:03 am

hurshy

or on amazon when you buy from someone's wish list and then amazon recommends stuff to you on that basis. but *i* didn't want that book, my friend did!

10:04 am

Michnick

I know Hursh, why can't they realize that because I bought one bread machine cookbook I want 12 others - who really needs more than one (ok, or 2)??

10:04 am

hurshy

maybe some items, cookbooks, you could use more than one. but like, let's say a mixer. you really are UNlikely to want more than one!

10:05 am

Michnick

Or a bed!!??

10:05 am

hurshy

exactly

10:05 am

hurshy

they really need to improve their system

10:05 am

well, i'm done. any last clues before i leave?

Trifioso

honestly, you guys, please don't mind that I am hardly ever hear anymore. I promise you it isn't personal or a reflection of how much I love babble or anything....my life it just out of all bounds at the moment, and any time I have to babble is wonderful, but not at all expected or regular.

10:27 am

Michnick

Can someone clue the so8?

10:27 am

Trifioso

ugh...please also don't mind that I used the wrong version of "here"

10:28 am

flosey

no problem Trif, good to see you when you have time to babble - but do take care of yourself

10:28 am

Trifioso

flosey, honey, right now I am LAST on that list. But sometimes life is like that. It will come around....

babble also plays amazing on my asus transformer tab.when you first get it though,you must get used to how much easier it is to work with an android operating system

11:54 am

ok, computer is back.

I'm not crazy about the iPad but it's not mine; they gave it to me for work

my phone is an Android and I like its operating system a lot, so I'm sure I'd like an Android tablet as well

11:56 am

when you are ready for one of your own,tray the asus transformer or the google nexus 10.both good powerful machines

i researched tablets pretty heavily this year in anticipation of upgrading

11:59 am

uusue2

we talked to the doctor today - apparently since Frank is stage 4 the 12 cycles of chemo are just a preliminary estimate of what he will need - actual treatment will depend on scans and on how he tolerates the chemo

12:00 pm

uusue2

so he's pretty bummed right now, he was hoping he was almost half way through

12:20 pm

crosshair

poor frank:(

12:21 pm

uusue2

he's fallen asleep at the moment (they give him Benadryl at the beginning to foist off nausea, which seems to work very well) but he was watching war documentaries on his laptop, a sure sign that he is upset

12:23 pm

crosshair

chemo can knock the stuffing right out of you

12:23 pm

uusue2

that too :-(

12:23 pm

crosshair

i spent most of my time sleeping or with my head in the toilet

12:24 pm

uusue2

fortunately the nausea hasn't been a problem at all; he's had some skin trouble (his fingers are very cracked and sore) and some diarrhea but that's about it

12:25 pm

crosshair

still has all his hair?

12:26 pm

i lost ALL my hair every last drop of it anywhere on my body.when i walked,i sounded like 2 balloons rubbing together.thank god for talc!

i was seeing in the chog yesterday that phae lost her daughter (quite suddenly???) i din't dare say anything because i don't want to put my foot in it :(

12:42 pm

uusue2

oh no, I missed that! How awful!!

12:42 pm

TraderKate

click on her icon

12:43 pm

MollyL

Phae has changed her icon to her grandchildren, the ones her daughter left behind. Her daughter had Hodgkins lymphoma, I don't think it was sudden. Horrible nonetheless.

12:43 pm

uusue2

oh my gosh, such little children! It is a tragedy when anyone dies, but for a young mother it is particularly hard for those left behind. Love to her and her family...

12:44 pm

BzznBea

So sad.

12:45 pm

TraderKate

2:37 pm

TraderKate

yes, it is maddeningly close. saw the grand prix there in the 90's, was fantastic - the year before the olympics... they are often skating close to me - hamilton, mississauga, toronto, london....

2:38 pm

bichon

As I said, Canadians are uber fans. I once went to Worlds in Minneapolis. They cheer so loud.

2:39 pm

TraderKate

we are all insane up here - too much darkness in winter lol.... have you ever seen our very own "specskaters" 6 couples that travel to all evernt together - they wear bright pink sweatshirts and are almost always directly behin d the judges

2:40 pm

bichon

I know them well <ggg>

2:41 pm

TraderKate

back when i had money i used to run into them all the time, they really are uber fans for sure, had inner with them a few times.... i used to be on the scene all the time, everyone use to know who i was. kind of nice to be able to sit in the skaters section when invited

2:43 pm

bichon

I used to go to lots of skating competitions. That's before I had grandchildren and still worked.

2:44 pm

TraderKate

banging head against brick wall over that si rods combo...i will ignore it! that'll teach them! hahahaha

2:50 pm

TraderKate

is that a tv station? the coverage here is very poor these days, used to watch all skating form beginnine to end, now it's top 1 or 2 flights only, and sometimes only on late at night.... unless you ante up for the expensive cable channel

2:50 pm

bichon

need the so 8/40

2:50 pm

periwinkle

hi all

2:50 pm

periwinkle

pretty gloomy day here and power was out for several hours

2:50 pm

TraderKate

i have that one!

2:51 pm

bichon

No Kate. It's an on-line ice skating web site. It has everything, but it's only in the US that it shows videos [at least I think that's the case]

2:51 pm

bichon

peri, same here. Drove to Costco and back in the poring rain

2:52 pm

bichon

But, CBC [Canadian TV] has lots of skating. Much more than the US.

2:52 pm

2:52 pm

2:56 pm

TraderKate

they don't have as much as they used to. they always get the olympics, but ctv usually has the 4 c's etc.... they had the us and cdn nationals, 4 c's, will have the worlds just ran the europeans 2 weeks ago...it's shameful reallyb how theyu have reduced coverage because it's too expensive to send crews overseas like they used to... and poker is so much cheaper to show, probably with more ad revenue :(((

2:56 pm

TraderKate

3:27 pm

lynxxx

3:29 pm

TraderKate

cojuld have sworn i tried it a bunch of times... maybe it's my laughable typing skills to blame?

3:31 pm

lynxxx

I find quite often that is is Babble actually, doesn't always take the word - and sometimes even 'eats' them later

3:32 pm

TraderKate

maybe that's what happened, good excuse anyway :)

3:39 pm

TraderKate

any clues on the is words please? looks like a triplet

3:40 pm

lynxxx

Hmmm! hi 4 - Another anagram of lower leg bone!!!

6:54 pm

Lizlin

You might describe a stupid person like this, peach.

6:54 pm

MollyL

Smores, are you still watching Touch? I finally figured out who the guy playing Norburg is. That is Lucas Haas, the little boy from the movie Witness.

Hi there, smores.

Hey Molly, I didn't realize that was him :)

7:00 pm

Lizlin

I just googled him - I wouldn't have recognised him!

7:00 pm

Lizlin

The s's are going on forever!

7:01 pm

MollyL

I kept watching him on that show and knowing that I knew those big brown eyes from somewhere. It took me a while, but I figured out who he was.

7:02 pm

smores

Wow...it didn't seem like Witness was that long ago.

7:03 pm

MollyL

I feel that way too, but then my older two boys are around the same age as Haas, so I am in denial about how long anything has been in that regard.

7:05 pm

Lizlin

Doesn't seem like Witness was that long ago, but I remember watching it with my mum - and she died over 20 years ago! Wow!

7:06 pm

Lizlin

Love checking back and finding plurals I've missed - singulars too!

7:38 pm

Lizlin

Lucky for you!

7:38 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(yes, the 1996 "edition" was the McGann one)

7:39 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

7:50 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ty, never would have guessed that

7:50 pm

rururocks

wow

7:50 pm

rururocks

he was a pope in a past lifetime I bet

7:50 pm

rururocks

did he have a penchant for red slippers?

7:50 pm

cosdem

lol no

7:51 pm

cosdem

speaking of.....

7:51 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

you don't have to know a language (consciously, i mean) to speak some of it. e.g., i can sing a song in spanish without knowing spanish

7:51 pm

rururocks

:D

7:51 pm

cosdem

i read in an article yesterday that when the Pope steps down he will trade in his red shoes for some "nice brown ones" he saw when visiting mexico... there was an article about that seriously

7:51 pm

rururocks

I read the same article

7:52 pm

cosdem

lol nice

7:52 pm

Shirlockc

learned english singing school house rocks -- had no clue what "constitution" meant

7:52 pm

rururocks

maybe they can scratch in all the names of the abused kids under his watch

7:52 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i think this pope is setting a nice precedent and maybe more popses will step down in the future

7:52 pm

Shirlockc

nose

7:52 pm

Shirlockc

oops

7:52 pm

rururocks

Mouth (covering for shirlockc

7:53 pm

cosdem

did you read about the bishop in england that was accused of umm.. raping??? other priests? i dont wanna call it molestation since its adult and adult crime not adult/child

7:53 pm

rururocks

I did and he's not allow to vote for the new pope

7:53 pm

cosdem

I asked my former parish priest about this the other day.. he said "do not ever ask me this again" and ended the conversation

7:53 pm

cosdem

ahh thats good didnt hear that yet thanks!

7:54 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

they're grown men, they hang around with other men, they wear dresses all day, what do you expect? (joke!)

7:54 pm

rururocks

he was trying to poke a hole in the reprimand :D

7:54 pm

cosdem

I used the same reasoning, Gwen, abou Jesus being gay :P

7:55 pm

rururocks

really.. don't all gay men have crosses to bear?

7:56 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

jesus actually hung out with both sexes, but the men who run the churches tend to leave the women out of the story

7:57 pm

rururocks

.. yeah.. book.. someone should nail down that story

7:57 pm

cosdem

Mary Magadelen had a bigger role than they say she did I think? (lol ru.. )

7:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

older editions of the bible have women's names and in newer editions they have miraculously been changed into men's names, hmmmm

7:59 pm

rururocks

that just proves he hung around with transvestites

7:59 pm

MollyL

Mary Magdalene had a much bigger role and there are those who believe that Jesus meant for her, not Peter, to carry on with his teachings.

8:00 pm

MollyL

Or her as well as Peter.

8:00 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

might have been no "dark ages" if there were some women running the church

8:01 pm

rururocks

it's ridiculous that women aren't allowed to be priests in the Catholic Church

8:01 pm

cosdem

ok I have a question that will make many catholics ashamed of me but its been so murky i never asked ..

8:01 pm

cosdem

Mary, mother of Jesus is not the same Mary as Mary Magadelne?

8:01 pm

rururocks

*holds breath*

8:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

pretty medieval if you ask me

8:02 pm

MollyL

No Cos.

8:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

that's right, there's a whole slew of marys in the bible , and those two are not the same person

8:02 pm

rururocks

wasn't mary magdelaine a hooker?

8:02 pm

cosdem

For the longest time I thought they were the same person so imagine my horror when I watched DaVinci Code lol... "Soo they say Jesus married his mother?"

8:03 pm

MollyL

No, that was a story fabricated about her because it was frowned upon that Jesus had taken a female apostle.

8:03 pm

rururocks

ah

8:04 pm

rururocks

bets she was a pistol of an apostle

8:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

of course my peeps were the ones who first ordained women, so i can do a moose wave about that lol

Cos, word to those folks in Colorado. There is a reason to call off school because of snow. I can't believe kids had to spend the night in school because they couldn't get home.

8:24 pm

rururocks

well molly pot is legal.. I'm sure they're so stoned that it doesn't matter

8:24 pm

MollyL

Or maybe the school administrators were, and therefore did not have the good sense to keep schools closed.

8:24 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

then toss a few cookies out here lol

8:25 pm

rururocks

*cues up "White Punks on Dope" (the Tubes)

8:27 pm

cosdem

9:28 pm

uusue2

hi min and shirlock!

9:29 pm

uusue2

things are ok, got some clarification from Frank's doctor today that was kind of depressing

9:30 pm

Pinikula

oh, I'm sorry to hear that, uu...

9:30 pm

uusue2

we thought he was scheduled for 12 cycles of chemo and then would be done unless the cancer recurred; apparently not so much. Usually after 12 cycles people are ready for a break but how long he continues will be determined by how his scans look

9:31 pm

uusue2

and even if nothing shows up on the scan they may want to continue the chemo (? we are not exactly clear on this) to avoid recurrences

9:32 pm

Pinikula

oh my...i do hope the course is swift and doesn't cause him too much discomfort...perhaps the few extra are "better to be on the safe side" kinda thing? just a thought...

9:34 pm

uusue2

so far he is doing pretty well physically but it is a real emotional roller coaster

9:34 pm

uusue2

and he's just started his 6th cycle; after 12 he may be pretty frazzled physically as well, we'll just have to see

9:35 pm

Pinikula

I can only imagine...

9:36 pm

Pinikula

...I can't offer much there except "keep your chin up!" (and offer thoughts and prayers for a healthy end)

9:36 pm

sorry - entered in error

11:36 pm

Lizlin

Are you at least enjoying mixing with others and discussing - whatever it is you discuss?

11:36 pm

grannyrose

aga--ain, liz. i didn't know that there was so much to learn. i thought i was quite up to date. * sigh *

11:37 pm

grannyrose

yeah, and they're all saying the same thing. brain overload.

11:37 pm

Lizlin

I think that medicine, like so much else moves forward very quickly. It's so hard to keep up to date.

11:38 pm

grannyrose

oh, and some of them must be recently qualified. they are only babies to look at. lol

11:38 pm

Nef

Good Evening Everyone. First time here tonight; I'm not going to start h

11:38 pm

Lizlin

How much of it are you expected to remember - in real life that is - or can you refer to journals etc?

11:38 pm

Lizlin

Hi Nef :)

11:39 pm

Nef

hi Lizlin. How are you tonight? I actually fell asleep here and the cat startled me awake :-)

11:40 pm

Lizlin

Enjoying the first lovely day here in a while!

11:40 pm

grannyrose

liz, i have to give a few in-services to my colleagues. :( so this weekend will be taken up with formatting those.

11:40 pm

Lizlin

i think we sent our rain down to Melbourne - but I think they're grateful for it.

11:40 pm

Lizlin

I remember those days Rose - courses and then the feedback to others!

11:41 pm

grannyrose

lol, we sure are liz, thanx very much

11:41 pm

Lizlin

With loads of IT input, i expect - power point shows etc.

11:41 pm

grannyrose

oh, well. the in-services will add to my CPD points tally.

11:42 pm

Lizlin

You're welcome and please keep it! We've got guests arriving on 11 March - I'd like them to see a sunny Aus!

11:42 pm

grannyrose

* splutter * liz, i'm not that clever.....

11:42 pm

Lizlin

And do those CPD (funny how acronyms cross into so many different fields) points help your annual increments?

11:43 pm

Lizlin

I'm sure you are!

11:43 pm

sandyloo

liz send them to
WA where there is nothing but sunshine

11:43 pm

sandyloo

everytime I see a cloud I am filled with joy!

11:43 pm

grannyrose

yes, liz. actually i enjoy doing the courses, it's the presentations after i dislike.

11:44 pm

sandyloo

it is way too hot here!

11:44 pm

Lizlin

Isn't the cyclone Russell (is that the one) going to work its way down the west coast, like Oswald did here?

11:44 pm

Lizlin

I also always hated that!

11:44 pm

Nef

ssory, Iccan't seem to stay awke. Goodnight All! Happy Babbling!

11:44 pm

Lizlin

I could stand in total confidence in front of a school load of kids - but adults ... hated that!

11:45 pm

grannyrose

night nef, lol. sleep well, hun

11:45 pm

Lizlin

Night Nef - sleep well :)

11:45 pm

sandyloo

it is but not this far south. It has missed the populated areas and has only hit in remote areas but it is bringing rain to some stations which is great, I hope the cloud will descend to bring us a little rain

11:45 pm

Lizlin

Hope so too, Sandy :)

11:45 pm

Lizlin

When is your rainy season?

11:46 pm

grannyrose

i think it's because the adults can be so critical. and when i think about it, there are usually a few doctors in the room while i am presenting. i'm afraid that one day i will make an absolute booboo.

11:46 pm

sandyloo

winter time, june july august but our winter is like the english summer (winter is nice except for some storms which I love anyway)

11:47 pm

Lizlin

I remember that - then there are the ones, who are just waiting to challenge something you say ...

11:47 pm

sandyloo

how about a clue for the as7 please

11:47 pm

Lizlin

Winter here is like an English summer - but without the humidity! I like winter here!

11:48 pm

grannyrose

yeah, so i have to be absolutely certain that what i say is correct...can't be seen to bumble around a topic. lol.

11:48 pm

Lizlin

You might call a stupid person as 7 - donkey-like!

11:48 pm

grannyrose

as7, as + vowel + number before 10

11:48 pm

Lizlin

11:49 pm

sandyloo

gran I read your profile, firstly, that baby is gorgeous and secondly I loved the story about your health, are you still ok?

11:50 pm

grannyrose

sandy, sure am, hun.

11:50 pm

sandyloo

wow how fabulous

11:50 pm

sandyloo

what are you speaking about to adults?

11:50 pm

grannyrose

really must upload pics of claudia, that's deacon's little sister. she is nearly 3 years old.

11:51 pm

grannyrose

sandy, i have to do a few in-services on cardiac drugs and how they effect a patient, either therapeutically or adversely.

11:52 pm

sandyloo

are you a doctor then?

11:53 pm

sandyloo

speaking to adults can be daunting especially your peers

11:53 pm

grannyrose

i have to reduce a 70 page course to 10-15 pages. lol, no, hun. i'm a critical care nurse working in operating theatres. we have just moved into cardiac surgery.

11:54 pm

sandyloo

fantastic at your age (I am around your age) that you are so productive

11:55 pm

grannyrose

strange you should ask that. the other day mother mac asked me why she had to visit our GP regularly, as she reckons i'm as good as a doctor. i, laughingly, told her we needed him to write her prescriptions.

11:56 pm

grannyrose

sandy, you have no idea how i envy you your life-style.

11:56 pm

sandyloo

nursing can be a difficult job but I have come across many younger nurses whom I don't believe should be nurses, they no longer seem to have that care factor that a lot of the older nurses had

11:57 pm

sandyloo

Gran, the lifestyle will improve in the future , but now we are doing it tough and it is still too hot here

11:57 pm

crayola
