I gave up trying to be good enough, tor. I sang one of the soprano parts and one of the alto parts for the virtual choir this year (my first singing "gig" in over a decade) and for the alto part I had massive allergies, was exhausted from multiple takes of the soprano part and had only practiced four times. I say, life is short, go for it! I even hit a few right notes on the alto part!

Hey there, Trif.
2:37 am
Trifioso
important life lesson learned today, please allow me to share: no matter HOW hot and muggy it is outside, DO NOT enjoy a frozen lemonade on your way to your doctors appt. When the trainee nurse routinely checks your temperature, it WILL read 85 degrees, and you WILL scare her to death.
2:38 am
grannyrose
awww, trif. so sorry that you have insomnia again. mind you, it's now 5:45pm here, and i have been awake since 3:00am.
2:38 am
Trifioso
thanks grannyrose, and sorry to hear you are haunting the night hours as well
2:39 am
grannyrose
rofl...poor nurse...so they still use under the tongue thermometers? over here weuse thermosc$s, which either read a temperarure from the ear ca% or from the forehead.
2:40 am
Trifioso
under the tongue. I think she couldnt decide if I was a zombie, a vampire, or suffering from some hideous ailment she hadn't studied yet
2:40 am
grannyrose
trif, i awake when the pain-killers wear off..and i find it very hard to get back to sleep, even when i take the meds immediately.
2:41 am
Trifioso
ugh, so sorry granny, that is the worst case scenario for sure
2:42 am

*giggle* like hypothermia on such a hot day..yeah, she would be very puzzled.

2:46 am

trif...a visit to doctor's? nothing wrong, i hope? just a routine check-up?
2:46 am
Trifioso
not a routine check up, no, but they also didn't find anything wrong, which bugs me no end, as I am quite sure there IS something that needs to get addressed....
2:47 am
Trifioso
my beau has a very, very good herbalist he works with, and I think I will take it up with him
2:47 am

oh...wanna share? if not here, use my email address in my profile.

The bunnies are adorable but not liking the heat and humidity of summer. And last night we had a thunderstorm and power outage so their nightlights were out.
5:39 am
lynxxx
sounds like an uncomfortable Summer. but I must ask - nightlights - for bunnies?!
5:41 am
Scrabbler
I don't think THEY need the lights but I like them so the bunnies can hop all over their rooms in the dark and find their food, litter box, water, ...I am sure they can do it in the dark.
5:41 am

It has been a rainy spring and summer so far.

You press the ALT key and the 3 key at the same time and release. You need to use the number pad, with number lock on. It doesn't work on Macs.

12:12 pm
Aloyisius
joining Judi in fw .. must scoot as I have a deadline for a newsletter I'm supposed to be writing! ciao, all.. till next time, poof
12:12 pm
toadandtoadette
he didn't sleep well last night, psyched himself out so he cried like he was scared all night (which he had no reason to be), so I get that and will give him the benefit of the doubt. BUT this happens all the time. he doesn't want to get in the shower (today he did) but then he throws a huge fit when he tell him its time to get out. That's what tipped this all off this morning. So he's sitting in his room.
12:13 pm
toadandtoadette
his 2 year old sister is already on her second orange and second cartoon and is a super happy girl today. so 1 out of 2 isn't too bad.
12:14 pm
Judi
Is he in time out?
12:15 pm
Judi
At least he clean. Naked, but clean.
12:15 pm
toadandtoadette
I guess you could say he is. I told him he could stay in his room until his dad gets home from work (either for lunch or when he gets off).
12:16 pm
Judi
With any luck, he'll fall asleep. Otherwise, he's probably in there coloring satanic symbols on the walls.
12:16 pm
toadandtoadette
lol. probably the latter.. in blood nonetheless since he doesn't have much in his room
12:17 pm
Judi
Well, good luck! I'm off. See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*

Make sure he's there! I once put my son on a time out and he sneaked through a childproof lock and was found by police a mile away, dresed only in his underwear.
12:18 pm

lol. yah I can hear him moving around up there.
12:21 pm

It wasn't too funny at the time tho' I laugh now.
12:22 pm
toadandtoadette
we have moments like that, but not that extreme. Simon's a homebody and wouldn't even know where to go if he did leave
12:25 pm
jaxx7
That never seemed to stop Tim. One holiday we lost him at a railway station and he had climbed up an old inspection ladder and into the roof, some 50 foot above us. I swear no-one han been up it since the station was built. You can imagine what he looked like when he eventually came down!
12:28 pm
toadandtoadette
oh wow!! I can't see Simon doing that. he's kind of a scaredy cat.
12:28 pm
toadandtoadette
his sister on the other hand....

My daughter, thankfully, was the exact opposite or I would have gone grey a lot sooner than I did.

I am very annoyed this evening! My sister in law is planning a surprise 50th birthday party for my brother, and she has said she is not going to invite my parents. She says they won't enjoy the evening... Loud music etc. i'm livid!
3:18 pm
MollyL
Um Soodle...feck it and bring your parents anyway.
3:18 pm
sprite
can't she let the parents decide for themselves?
3:19 pm
Soodle
Hello Sprite :-)! It seems she has taken the decision herself. (Fume, fume)
3:19 pm
sprite
how disrespectful
3:20 pm
sprite
can I get a bit of a hug myself? Husband came home with severe back/leg pain day before yesterday and is now in hospital, they can't find the cause. I am a bit scared.

Whats the word from the medics, Sprite?
3:23 pm
sprite
that they don't know. His symptoms are atypical for5 everything. He has to wait until he can get an MRI scan now.
3:24 pm
crosshair
and it is time for crossy's new pat on the back of the day!! today a pat on the back to the D.C lawmakers who voted in the minimum living wage mandate despite some heavy handed threats by wal- mart near the end of things.:)

Worrying times, Sprite! Please stay positive & focused. (((()))))

3:25 pm

will do, Soodle. Have to, for my kids, anyway. So thought to come here for a bit of admitting that I AM scared. Good to have babble friends :)
3:25 pm

3:28 pm

yes, about 20 mins by car.
3:31 pm
Soodle
Thats good. (Saying a prayer & lighting a candle for Mr Sprite)
3:31 pm
sprite
thanks Soodle :) That will help. I know it idoes.
3:36 pm
sprite
and the kids have vacation from school, so they can help with Terra. Things could be worse. How's today's grid?
3:36 pm
Soodle
I love Babble & the camaraderie of babble. What I don't like is when a fellow babbler needs a real, honest to God hug, and all I can do is make silly signs like ((())). Consider yourself properly hugged Sprite.
3:36 pm
sprite
it may seem silly, Soodle, but I swear I can feel it. Thanks :)
3:37 pm

3:42 pm

no fists to your lady, hehehe
3:44 pm
MollyL
Sprite, lots of reasons for back and leg pain that are not serious. My first thought is sciatic nerve problems.
3:44 pm
m9f9l
Hello all... at in crossy and sprite... and Molly. and Soodle if still here....
3:45 pm
MollyL
Soodle is kind of ADD. It's hard to keep her attention in any one place for too long.
3:45 pm
sprite
Molly, that is what the doctors hope to find now, indeed. If it is a hernia, they will call in the pain team and kill the nerve.
3:45 pm
m9f9l
Thought i'd come see if Ru was on to ask him to tell folks in his area that the S.F. spca is waiving adoption fees for cats and kittens through 14 July.
3:45 pm
sprite
Soodle rocks :)
3:45 pm
m9f9l
Just read it on my sister's fb.
3:46 pm
sprite
how nice, m9. That might inspire more people to adopt
3:46 pm
m9f9l
Yes. She is a cat foster mama for the shelter.
3:46 pm
sprite
babble dictionary word: ecocarn - environment-friendly meat
3:46 pm
MollyL
Back pain that radiates down the leg is often related to the sciatic nerve. Lots of women have this when they are pregnant, due to the "extra load" they are carrying.
3:47 pm
m9f9l
cat and camels are my friend when pregnant, because if I don't do them as going to bed, I get sciatica then. Doesn't bother me any other times.
3:48 pm
sprite
they thought of that, Molly, but were in doubt because the pain is mostly in his leg and he has pain attacks, colicky-like, even when in rest.
3:49 pm
MollyL
Did they do a CT sc4?
3:49 pm
crosshair
howdy m9:)) spire,i have sciatica and like molly says,when it first came on i was in total agony and it gives the same symptoms described.sadly it eases a bit and you learn to live with a new pain
3:49 pm
sprite
they did an X-ray and an echo, so far. CT scans and MRI have waiting lists :(
3:50 pm
crosshair
sprite*
3:51 pm
sprite
they have ruled out kidney stones, infections, aneurysms and several other possible causes so far.
3:51 pm
ChrissieDee
((((sprite)))) saying a prayer for Mr Sprite
3:51 pm
sprite
thanks Chrissie :)
3:52 pm
m9f9l
Maybe it's a severe form of RLS
3:53 pm
sprite
sorry, had to look that up :) I don't think so, he never has any issues when going to sleep. But God knows... anything is possible at this point.
3:54 pm
MollyL
I'm sure he will be fine, Sprite. I know it's hard not to worry, when you have a loved one in pain. Think positive thoughts.
3:54 pm
m9f9l
A lot of drugs in this grid.
3:54 pm
m9f9l
I'm glad.. RLS stinks!
3:54 pm
sprite
will do, Molly, thank you!
3:56 pm
m9f9l
I would pay attention to any relation to eating. It's surprising how many pains can be associated with that and not look like it. I get quite the pain in my right shoulder if I overeat..
3:57 pm
sprite
synchronicity... my love just texted me, they moved him to another room, morphine is working and he is in far less pain now :) He will be able to sleep tonight.
3:58 pm
ChrissieDee
How odd m9
3:58 pm
sprite
that is odd, m9!
3:58 pm
m9f9l
Actually Chrissie, I guess that's pretty common!
3:58 pm
MollyL
Morphine is a wonderful thing. : )
3:59 pm
MollyL
I've never heard of digestion problems causing shoulder pain either.
3:59 pm
sprite
I used to get a stinging pain in my right eye when I drank coffee. Nowadays I remove the spoon, though. That seems to help.
3:59 pm
m9f9l
A lot of nerve meridians run through your center, so ailments there can present elsewhere.
3:59 pm
m9f9l
HA HA HA!!!!
4:00 pm
sprite
but all kidding aside, i think there is still a lot to be le5ed about the relation between food and body reactions.
4:00 pm
ChrissieDee
lol, glad your keeping your sense of humour :)
4:00 pm
sprite
nothing will kill that. Nor with Rob, btw. In between the pain attacks we actually giggled quite a bit today, waiting in the hospital.
4:00 pm
m9f9l
I guess left shoulder pain is associated with heart attacks and GERD (acid reflux) but I have right shoulder pain.
4:02 pm
m9f9l
Right shoulder pain is sometimes associated with gall bladder issues, but most frequently with gas...
4:02 pm
sprite
I do see a clear link between overeating and gas
4:03 pm
m9f9l
Since I get it when overfull, I guess something is being pushed on that runs through the shoulder?
4:05 pm
sprite
or perhaps when you are overfull you can't breathe properly, which might bring out issues that you usually don't feel?
4:06 pm
m9f9l
Hmm.. could be. I do get asthmatic every once in a while, but I'm pretty aware of that. Most times, breathing is not an issue, probably because of the singing.
4:06 pm
sprite
our bodies are many-splendoured things
4:07 pm
Soodle
Sorry to interject! Nope, Sprite! Soodle does NOT rock! If Soodle manages to tap her toe along to some easy listening middle of the road songs, well, thats a GOOD day!
4:07 pm
sprite
*grins* For me, you rock, lady Soodle.
4:08 pm
m9f9l
Yup. Puts me in mind of "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food"
4:08 pm
MollyL
<---Never was sure what the whole "rocks" thing was about anyway.

We have a hound and a terrier, and theyve been taught to hunt, go to ground, etc. They *already* go nuts when there's one they can see
11:25 pm
moonwoof
Daw! Noooo! Not you, stud!
11:25 pm
TraderKate
poor stiddie! you are exhausted from rapid-fire cluing and fishing...
11:26 pm
moonwoof
But we're also currently living in a double-wide that's up off the ground... and the bunnies live under it part of the year. So when they wake up in the morning to go forage and bump against the floor, the dogs are already set to hunt.
11:26 pm
TraderKate
nothing with fur can move without setting off hounds and other hunting dogs... i undrstand :)
11:27 pm
TraderKate
bye stiddie, see you "tomorrow"
11:27 pm
moonwoof
They're amusingly Non-picky about it, honestly... birds, lizards, elephants... they kinda dont care if it's not human and moves lol
11:27 pm
TraderKate
uh oh, the dogs can probably sense them even if they aren't bumping the floor... they must be going insane wtih "hunt fever"
11:28 pm
moonwoof
Even the moths or spiders that dare invade the house are primo targets

11:28 pm
jmcnrick
so you have the computer tonight?
11:29 pm
moonwoof
Kinda. I was always that the easiest ways to train animals are to encourage what they already naturally do. And in this instance I Can call them off... they just really dont like it.
11:29 pm
jesdraggon

jmcnrick
they were suppose to drive down from NYC tonight but considering the weather *jumps* i am glad they did not
11:31 pm
TraderKate
wish we had a thunderstorm here, it's been all around us, but barely a drop here all weeek, and so close to toronto, where they were deluged and flooded out on monday...
11:31 pm
jmcnrick
storms like this make me happy i live next to a REALLY TALL radio tower that will take all of the lightening hits
11:32 pm
jmcnrick
it rained quite hard for about a half hour and now it is starting again. . .
11:32 pm
moonwoof
After the 120 degree week here, last week, I was glad for even the tiny amount of rain we got yesterday
11:32 pm
TraderKate
how old is the granddaughter? sounds like you have a primo location there jmc. i hope you don't lose power for the flip...
11:33 pm
jmcnrick

11:33 pm
jmcnrick

11:33 pm
jmcnrick
and already a charmer
11:33 pm
TraderKate
overhead.. tower or storm?
11:34 pm
jmcnrick
i understand moon. . . i grew up in texas where it also gets hot. . . and humid!
11:34 pm
jmcnrick
storm. . . the tower is a half block away
11:34 pm
TraderKate
so you need a good drenching moon?
11:34 pm
jmcnrick
*jumps*
11:34 pm
moonwoof
Right. It only *really* gets humid here tho on days like this right after the rain. No gulf coast in AZ =)
11:35 pm
jmcnrick

11:35 pm
TraderKate

11:37 pm
jmcnrick

11:38 pm
Tanja
to 6 that is please - dysleic fingers today
11:38 pm
moonwoof
Im not sure if you know what a choya is, but really... when a cactus dies cause it's so dry, that's a bad sign.
11:39 pm
jmcnrick
mercy! *smacks face with surprise at the thought of a cactus dying from lack of water*
11:39 pm
TraderKate
when i lived in streetsville, i used to love to sit out on the back porch an dwatch the storms over the credit river... very large overhang and wonderful view... one cat sat clamly in my lap - the other upstairs under the cover of the bed for the duration...
11:39 pm
jmcnrick
sorry tanja i don't have it
11:40 pm
moonwoof
the last os6 sounds like the naughty hus**** magazine.
11:40 pm
TraderKate
to 6/21
11:40 pm
jmcnrick
part of the reason i built so many windows in my bedroom was to be able to watch storms. . .
11:40 pm
moonwoof
oh oops.
11:41 pm
Tanja
yes 11 to go :)
11:41 pm
TraderKate
okay, close to the flip, so no one goes to the PB for saying cactus....you know who you are ;)
11:41 pm
moonwoof
to6 = to make messy. Like... she to6d her hair
11:41 pm
jmcnrick
go tanja go!
11:41 pm
moonwoof
omg. I suck! lol
11:41 pm
moonwoof
Im ready for the flip, apparently lol
11:41 pm
jmcnrick
i don't go because i haven't even entered one word of the grid (although i am doing it mentally)
11:42 pm
TraderKate
wooooot tanja!!!
is that choya yours moon - in your yard?
11:42 pm
moonwoof
yea. We have tons of things growing out here... but at least a cpl of the choya have gone dormant entirely from lack of moisture
11:43 pm
TraderKate
sounds like a nice view jmc!
11:43 pm
moonwoof
choya is absolutely nothing anyone would grow on purpose tho. Its awful evil stuff lol
11:43 pm
jmcnrick
well they will probably come back with the rain. . .
11:43 pm
TraderKate
you wouldn't give them a bit of water????
11:43 pm
moonwoof
theyre like... the heat seeking missles of cacti
11:43 pm
jmcnrick
yes. . .the street lights let me see all the rain and wind. . . teehee
11:44 pm
TraderKate
oh, you didn't do this grid jmc??? why ever not?
11:44 pm
jmcnrick
because i just came here now . . . .
11:44 pm
moonwoof
oh no. We'll actually be singing the needles off and uprooting them next week. Theyre just awful things. But really, they're still usually very hearty things
11:44 pm
TraderKate
lol@moon wouldn't want to be the acquired target of one of those!
11:44 pm
jmcnrick
usually i start it anyway but today i decided not
11:44 pm
jmcnrick
go tanja go!
11:44 pm
moonwoof
Its just also very notable when they succumb to dryness.
11:45 pm
TraderKate
hhow very mature of you jmc. showing restraint and the ability to delay gratification ;)
11:45 pm
Tanja
now 6 - clue or the so 6 24 please
11:46 pm
jmcnrick
more like lazy. . . .
11:46 pm
moonwoof
absolutely not. They barb once they hit your skin, like little tridents, so they take little hunks of skin out with, when you pull them. they'll stick to anything even remotely moist
11:46 pm
TraderKate
the beautiful game tanja
11:46 pm
moonwoof
s0 6/24 is european football
11:46 pm
TraderKate
that sounds like porcupine quills moon!
11:47 pm
jmcnrick

11:47 pm
moonwoof
yea, a lot like that, but they need less momentum to stick
11:47 pm
TraderKate
nice to take a day off and relax jmc, you'll be all ready for the whopper we're going to get at the flip...(hopefully)
11:47 pm
Tanja

11:48 pm
shorty
clue for the to 10 please
11:48 pm
TraderKate
it was my last word tanja.... could have KICKED myself!
11:48 pm
moonwoof
it's mostly just that their root systems extend to a really large radius, and the moment you step on the spongy roots, they tip towards you and drop pronged balls.
11:48 pm
TraderKate
hi shorty.. pl of the to 9 lololol
11:48 pm
moonwoof
the to10 is plural of the to 9
11:49 pm
moonwoof
