1:51 am

torgone

Pain is a pain ..

1:51 am

flosey

hi rose

1:51 am

saanichcat

painful. Been looking it up. probably an electolyte imbalance. Easy fix if I knew what to do!

1:52 am

saanichcat

Hi Granny, "waves back" over the sea!

1:53 am

flosey

well, rose often has a good suggestion

1:53 am

grannyrose

hey saani

1:54 am

saanichcat

granyrose, do you know what causes foot cramps? I gave up searching because there a a gazillion reasons.

1:55 am

saanichcat

Actally the pain is so bad I could consider amputation!

1:55 am

grannyrose

okay, saani. are you sure you are not dehydrated?

1:56 am

saanichcat

I drink about two litres per day, but lately not as much. That was my firdst thought too and drank a few glasses.

1:58 am

saanichcat

Anyway, the simplest way is to get dressed, go into my office and play Babble! I am completely paon-free right now.

1:58 am

grannyrose

okay, to check, pinch the skin on the back of you hand. does it flatten out again quic\kly, or does it take a few seconds?

1:58 am

saanichcat

*pain

1:58 am

saanichcat

takes a while

1:59 am

grannyrose

then you are still dehydrated....drink more water.

2:00 am

saanichcat

I just had another glass while chatting! I believe that you are right. Thank you!

2:00 am

scouser

oohs

2:00 am

saanichcat

thanks scouser!

2:01 am

saanichcat

Grannyrose Knows All.

2:01 am

scouser

sorry - off to PB for me. This is a grid full of phantoms

2:02 am

grannyrose

and saani...please watch your fluid intake. even if you are taking diuretics, you still need to keep up the water.

2:02 am

scouser

Hello everyone

2:02 am

saanichcat

I certainly will and thank you greatly again

2:03 am

grannyrose

np's saani

2:03 am

saanichcat

"pins medal on granny"

2:04 am

Yvo

saani sorry to bud in ,im having a lot of cramps in foot legs .i found Schweppes with quinine a great help. evrything is worth a try.

2:04 am

saanichcat

Oh, thank you Yvo!

2:04 am

Yvo

and drink a lot of it

2:05 am

saanichcat

OK. Love the stuff! Can I add gin? (joke)

2:05 am

grannyrose

saani, if it doesn't resolve, contact me, email addy in profile.

2:07 am

saanichcat

thank you granny. saved me a trip to doctor and blood tests too. Are you a doctor?

2:07 am

grannyrose

yvo, company in the US of A, 'Vitacost', sell a product called magnesium malate.this has all but eliminated mother mac's night cramps, which she has suffered from for over 45 years.

2:08 am

grannyrose

no, saani. been a registered nurse for over 40 years. picked up a few hints over the years.lol

2:09 am

saanichcat

wow - amazing. Actually magnesium and potassium are on my list. I do have an on-going problem with losing potassium and have ended up in emer a few times.

2:10 am

grannyrose

ahhhh, do you take a potassium supplement, saani?

2:10 am

torgone

A nurse can be better than a doctor in some cases .. In my experience ..

2:11 am

grannyrose

*giggle* i know. mother mac asked me once why she needs to go to a doctor. i said...we need someone to write your scripts.

2:12 am

saanichcat

I try with diet -bananas, tomatoes etc but occassionally do take supplement - would be of more use if I were more regular about it. Torg you are totally right on on that point. Anyway, I'm going to find a few more words and then hit the hay again. Thank you all. Babblers are special and so caring.

2:15 am

grannyrose

saani, there is a product called 'slow k' over here we need a prescription for it. but we also have a salt which we can buy from a supermarket, called low-salt. it is actually potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride. (usual table salt)

2:16 am

saanichcat

there is something similar here too and tomorrow I will get some. It or something similar is available over the counter.

2:17 am

grannyrose

hey, you all. himself just bought me a t-shirt. it reads...do you want to see the doctor in charge or the nurse who knows what's going on?

2:18 am

saanichcat

too funny and soooo right!

2:18 am

flosey

good one rose

2:19 am

grannyrose

might cause a stir if i wear it to work....what do you think?

2:19 am

flosey

lol, you might become unpopular with a few doctors?

2:19 am

saanichcat

The patients would love it

2:20 am

flosey

am sure they would enjoy it saanich

2:20 am

flosey

anything to put a smile on some patients

2:20 am

Yvo

also taking Potassium chloride,im sure taking Lassix is the problem ,so there are so many so called cures for cramps but very few really help .so far this has helped me ,but who knows it could be back tomorow,so anything is worth a try .wishing you the best.

2:21 am

torgone

Can't piss off the doctors, now, can we?

2:21 am

flosey

does anyone have a clue for le6 please?

2:21 am

saanichcat

Here in BC we are trying to push for nurse practioner legislation so nurses can do more, such as Rx

2:22 am

saanichcat

2:23 am

Yvo

2:23 am

2:27 am

torgone

2:28 am

flosey

thanks Torg, new one for me

2:28 am

kje

this varies A LOT by patient, and low or high levels of potassium can be lethal. do not adjust your potassium without your doctor. if you feel it is too low, have them measure and adjust

hi Glant :)

4:39 am

lynxxx

hi Glant!

4:39 am

Glantarell

i am just looking fr my last one

4:40 am

Dachef

Do you ever think that the reason there are so many obscure and ridiculous 'y' words is because when all the words were given out Y had a tantrum because he didnt have that many and to shut him up they just gave him all the leftover bits? I mean the yo's today are a joke!

4:40 am

Glantarell

:-)

4:40 am

sprite

yep, that is pretty much how it must have gone, Dachef :D

4:40 am

lynxxx

which would explain the Zs even more. Hi Dachef

4:41 am

zoozzoom

In a way that is good to know, Dachef as i only have 2 Ys will type anything and see what comes of it..lol

4:41 am

Glantarell

woo hoo, found it. done

4:41 am

Dachef

zooz - quite literally the only way to do it. I threw my keyboard at the wall and got 2 of them.

4:41 am

lynxxx

Hooray for Glant!

4:41 am

zoozzoom

Congrats, Glantarell!

4:42 am

sprite

*grabs Terra from under the desk and throws him at keyboard*

4:42 am

Glantarell

many of the YOs are variations on a meditative practice and the people who lead it.

4:42 am

sprite

wtg Glant!

4:42 am

zoozzoom

hahaha Dachef

4:43 am

Glantarell

anybody want a clue before i go do some work?

4:43 am

4:47 am

4:47 am

zoozzoom

Sounds nice, enjoy, Lynxxx.

4:48 am

sprite

it is time to get worried when you easily find tm6 early in the grid...

4:49 am

Dachef

sprite: yup, that was one of my first words!! That is when you know you've been at this game for far too long.

4:49 am

sprite

lol Dachef, exactly!

4:50 am

zoozzoom

Now that one has been bugging me as i sort of know it..but cannot remember how the correct spelling goes.

4:50 am

sprite

you'll get there, zooz :)

4:50 am

zoozzoom

Nope it is ok..got it.

4:51 am

zoozzoom

Silly me.

4:51 am

sprite

:D See, experience babbler!

4:52 am

Dachef

that and is6/7. Words that only really exist in order to annoy seasoned babblers. In fact, that should be their definition: 'a word made up by enable in order to give grumpy babblers something to moan at.'

4:52 am

sprite

I love playing Words with Friends with fellow babblers. Both using lots of babblets.

4:52 am

sprite

love the def!

4:53 am

sprite

I immediately tried isgism. Didn't take though :)

4:53 am

zoozzoom

lol

4:54 am

sprite

hehehe... a line on a weather map connecting points that receive equal amounts of sunshine... I knew it was something very very useful.

4:55 am

Dachef

see, I was right!! Only made up for the sake of babble.

4:55 am

sprite

I'd say it is where the devil puts you when you misbehave in his domain

4:56 am

Dachef

Can you misbehave in the Devil's domain? I thought that was the point.....?

4:56 am

sprite

heck yes. Imagine you pray? Or help someone?

4:57 am

Dachef

Lol, Sprite! Loving the paradox!

4:57 am

sprite

4:59 am

zoozzoom

I take it you can't have mish with out the mash tsk.

5:02 am

frustrating, isn't it

5:02 am

sprite

frustrating, isn't it

5:02 am

sprite

ah... hickup time

5:03 am

zoozzoom

I see the babble freeze has changed from 11:00am GMT to 10:00am GMT

5:04 am

Dachef

*defrost* back?

5:04 am

zoozzoom

hehe

5:05 am

sprite

yeah, it changed an hour for me, because america did the Spring jump thing and we haven't yet.

5:05 am

Dachef

My monkeys were going great guns then, and I have no clue what I might have put in. If any of them turn out to be actual words I', going to sue someone. Problee.

5:06 am

sprite

usually babble remembers what you put it and adds it after the freeze. I had about 10 more words in that time and they arrived.

5:06 am

zoozzoom

Good point, Sprite i forgot about that.

5:06 am

Dachef

Really

5:06 am

zoozzoom

* hour change.

5:07 am

Dachef

Really? Well, in that case the monkeys were crap.

5:07 am

sprite

lol Dachef. You should feed them, every now and then.

5:07 am

zoozzoom

hahaha dachef, stop making ne laugh when i am about to sip my tea.

5:10 am

Dachef

They live on a constant diet of intellectual pursuits and expanding imagination, carried with platitudes of learning from great and powerful minds. And not late night TV, junk food and internet conspiracy theories. Honest.

5:10 am

zoozzoom

Phantom : Snail.

5:10 am

sprite

in that case, Dachef... try bananas.

5:10 am

sprite

tried that one too, zooz. Couple of times even.

5:11 am

Dachef

No, that didnt work. No B in grid.

5:11 am

5:17 am

zoozzoom

hehe

5:21 am

zoozzoom

Are there any GH words?

5:22 am

Loggism: a serious complaint suffered by lumberjacks, caused by not enough roughage in the diet.

5:32 am

rubyfoo

I ued oomiak in a scrabble game yesterday and my opponent said "that's a word?" I blamed it on babble

5:33 am

ivesy3

lol.. i have done that too.. babble gives us quite a vocabulary

5:33 am

Dachef

Im currently banned from playing Scrabble with my family. they think I make up all the words I put down.

5:33 am

sprite

happens a lot there. I love playing with babblers for that reason :)

5:34 am

sprite

the enable dictionary on the table should solve that, Dachef

5:34 am

Dachef

Tried that. Then they get upset and claim I must be 'cheating somehow'.

5:34 am

ivesy3

this is just my opinion, but i do not like this grid today

5:35 am

sprite

I like it, but it is challenging

5:36 am

Dachef

I like this grid: challenging but not too silly. Except for the y words. They're just wrong.

5:36 am

ivesy3

guess im not up for a challenge today lol

5:39 am

sprite

I get frustrated when a word does not have a plural, like lo6/30. Why can't I just add an S there?

5:39 am

rubyfoo

lunchtime, see you later

5:40 am

5:41 am

zoozzoom

Can't say yet, Sprite..still trying to find the lo6/30 lol

5:47 am

sprite

sounds like a piece of lumber you are fond of

5:48 am

Dachef

according to dic.com the lo6 IS a plural already. odd word though. means a wide open space inside a building (???).

5:49 am

sprite

seems to end in -ia usually

5:55 am

JBV

good morning babblers - walked in on an Italian plural, how nice - -ia ending (feminine singular) - lo 6 feminine plural : )

Oh no!!!!!

6:56 am

there is a post up from her in FB

6:57 am

crosshair

for those who do not have fb quote: Now that all our immediate family members know, I will post that my darling Lucky dog and Grant's budgies perished in the house fire Monday. We don't think there is much that can be saved, but our insurance company will take care of our expenses while the house is either repaired or replaced. We were able to get things pulled together enough for Grant to play in his school's band concert this evening. As usual, they did a fine job. So proud of Grant and his peers! I am trying to get pulled together enough that I can return to the classroom before the end of this week. Tom is home and handling all the details with contacting people and getting things lined up.

6:57 am

car.eeyore

I will check it out. Ty for letting me know.

6:58 am

ruby, we're going to be hiking the Cotswolds this spring. so excited

7:28 am

rubyfoo

that is lovely! I've heard that they are beautiful and there'll be flowers everywhere.....

7:29 am

crosshair

leave it to fox news to do something like that.i do not know how you guys can allow fox to air in the states.that is horrible what they did

7:29 am

rubyfoo

what did fox do, crossy?

7:29 am

rubyfoo

appily, they're not on Fr TV

7:29 am

bichon

right ruby. We're leaving at the end of May and will be there for 12 days

7:30 am

crosshair

they aired the name of that poor girl in steubenville with that rape case

7:30 am

rubyfoo

from what I've read, fox news is disgusting

7:30 am

crosshair

i have heard the same, ruby.i am glad it is not allowed to air here

7:30 am

bichon

WTF!

7:32 am

ChampFit

Crossy, the article I saw said CNN, Fox and MSNBC all named her.

7:32 am

bichon

I wouldn't watch Fox news, but just that it exists bothers me greatly

7:32 am

rubyfoo

why did they need to do that?

7:32 am

crosshair

just sensationalism grabbing the views,dollars over a underage girl

7:33 am

crosshair

viewers

7:33 am

ChampFit

They didn't do it on purpose, apparently. They aired one of the defendants apologizing in court, and he said her name in his statement. Obviously, needed some sort of button to blank out inappropriate comments.

7:33 am

crosshair

i better not look at any more news clips posted in fb

7:33 am

crosshair

ahh.ok chap.ty for clarification on that

7:34 am

ChampFit

People do get riled up on fb!

7:34 am

crosshair

still bad form,more care needs to be taken in things like this

7:34 am

crosshair

they do indeed,champ

7:35 am

ChampFit

Totally agree. If a defendant is apologizing, he very well might put the name in...not a stretch to think it could happen! So be prepared.

7:35 am

rubyfoo

still, they control so much, you'd think they could redact something like that instantly

7:35 am

ChampFit

I believe it has been in replays, ruby.

7:36 am

rubyfoo

aaah

7:36 am

ChampFit

Must run off and start my day. Hagd all!

Hi TO

8:58 am

8:59 am

72 Temple Owl

9:00 am

72 Temple Owl

well, more like a protion of mousse on a thin cake base. ould not even finish it, the dinner was so filling.

9:00 am

mael

I hate guinness, I think it's like drinking liquid bread. If you put it in cake, on the other hand....

9:01 am

hego

actually liquid bread is a good description.

9:01 am

BzznBea

Love Guinness...Black and Tan is yummy

9:02 am

hego

I think it's an acquired taste.

9:02 am

72 Temple Owl

No Black And Tans in Ireland. They call them Half And Halfs. Black And Tan is another name for the Royal Irish Constabulary Reserve Force. Hence they do not call the drink after the constabulary.

for those who do not have fb quote: Now that all our immediate family members know, I will post that my darling Lucky dog and Grant's budgies perished in the house fire Monday. We don't think there is much that can be saved, but our insurance company will take care of our expenses while the house is either repaired or replaced. We were able to get things pulled together enough for Grant to play in his school's band concert this evening. As usual, they did a fine job. So proud of Grant and his peers! I am trying to get pulled together enough that I can return to the classroom before the end of this week. Tom is home and handling all the details with contacting people and getting things lined up.

2:29 pm

TraderKate

2:29 pm

TraderKate

inosi

2:29 pm

ursh

no mean one of the in words means to breathe in

2:30 pm

ursh

still have 35 left

2:30 pm

TraderKate

as you can see, my monkey soesn't like 1 point tile words... havve the breathe word.. looking for a in 5/10 word - lots of combinations in the grid for that one! trying everything here..

2:31 pm

TraderKate

is there anythinmg i can help you with ursh?

2:32 pm

ursh

tx kate but slogging along will shout if stuck

2:32 pm

in5/10 = in + when jellys goes firm it is ***

2:35 pm

ursh

oh good

2:35 pm

TraderKate

that was the one ursh! can you believe i missed that one?

2:36 pm

ursh

when i go to the list i am always mortified at some of the words i miss

2:37 pm

TraderKate

i threw in the towel and listed with only 24 words found... never would have gotten close to finishing without it - thank goodness for lickety!

2:37 pm

TraderKate

lots of plurals here and some alternate spellings

2:38 pm

ursh

i listed with about 50 to go

2:39 pm

TraderKate

you have more fortitude than i could possibly muster!

2:40 pm

ursh

i am amazed that people find these words without a list - a lot of them i have never even heard before

2:43 pm

TraderKate

i think a lot of people use the a to z lists, but i find that i go cross-eyed very easily with it, so only use it if i can't beg a clue.. then there are all the wunderkinds like volleymomdee.. that have been at it forever - and seem to remember every word they ever found... what i wouldn't give to have a memory like that!

2:44 pm

TraderKate

the go 7/36 word was like that... i used the a to z for that one... don't think i've ever seen it even in a grid!

2:45 pm

ursh

i prefer morewords and try to only use when really stuck (which is quite often)

2:47 pm

TraderKate

i never seem to remember the link for morewords, and i have had a hard time getting the links to work today. was trying to read back in the chog log, but it wouldn't "load"

2:48 pm

ursh

www.morewords.com

2:49 pm

TraderKate

isn't there a link through angelsong or something else in friends of babble?

2:50 pm

ursh

i find the links can be unstable so just go straight there - in fact i have a shortcut on my desktop

2:52 pm

TraderKate

that's a good idea ursh! thanks for the morewords link.. got my last 2 is words with it in no time!

my ex had to put me in a headlock to be able to tweeze my eyebrows for me because i am such a wuss lol

4:46 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...when in high school, I quickly adhered to the Ali McGraw trendsetting in letting my eyebrows go untweezed. Now in midlife, I began again-just so my eyes would show up more..

4:46 pm

MollyL

Never done a guy's eyebrows. I did have to use an eyelash curler on guys when I was in theater. And they didn't like it one little bit.

4:53 pm
