how can i tell a bite from a hive?
12:18 am
mcurlschool
a bite will have a "center" and a hive won't
12:18 am
cosdem
oh we learned that today!
12:18 am
grannyrose
aha, a bite has a smallish mound in the middles of a reddened area, a hive looks either like nettle rash, or can be a large welt-like area, very red and hor
12:19 am
TraderKate
hi jill.. i know you don't... have i accidentally spammed you? if so i apologise... part of the problem i am having with intermittent connections at home... i click on something and 5 minutes later it does whatever is in the spot i clicked on previouly.. terribly sorry.
12:19 am
mcurlschool
a hive will also turn white completely when you press the skin around it and the bite will have a little red dot (the center bite) when you do the same
12:19 am
72 Temple Owl
ty. i don't remember all mosquito bites having centers unless i scratched them, i will have to look more closely.

poor TO.. the agony of the allergy.. commisertions :0
12:20 am
grannyrose
TO, do you have any personal insect repellant around? use that on the area, if the itch goes, it's a bite.
12:20 am
72 Temple Owl
just back from festival and had a hive on the way up and def have one bite and one unknown now
12:21 am
72 Temple Owl
and have 8 worfs to go
12:21 am
grannyrose
there is something in the repellants which neutralises the "sting"
12:21 am
jillibus
Kate -- don't worry -- I think FB does this randomly to please their advertisers -- I get lots of game requests I'm pretty sure the friends didn't send me.

TO, you can use it after the bite to get relief.
12:22 am

I nixed the itch of mosquito bites recently by applying AfterBite followed by a deodorant while tha AfterBite was still damp. A friend on the beach today recommended Witch Hazel.
12:24 am
TraderKate
any chance you have occular antihistamine drops at hand TO? otehrwise, you'll just have towait for the allergy meds to kick in...
12:24 am
grannyrose
hmmm, so must have something which is okay near eyes...paste of sodium bicarb.
12:24 am
72 Temple Owl
witch hazel is a wonder. the location is awful and i think i will have to suffer. Until the claritin takes effect. ty or the help

do you have anything faster-acting than claratin TO? like a benadryl... or even a cold med thaqt has an antihistamine in it? claratin, reactine etc., don't act very quickly... they build up in the blood over time.

joso
ty ty ty all
1:07 am
Lizlin
Yes, that's what I meant - I knew you were holding off but wondered if you had a time in mind - like the weekend perhaps. Good news that Brax continues to put on weight.
1:09 am
grannyrose
yeah 200gms in 4 days...told son to back off with the steak and chips. lol. son says things are still a little hairy. they have to feed braxton every 3 hours. they must be worn out.
1:09 am
Lizlin
I bet they
1:09 am
Lizlin
they''re tired!
1:10 am
grannyrose
thank heavens the eldest boy is 17...he is being a real trooper, and stepping up to the mark, and helping out where he can.
1:10 am
joso
sounds like a pain, but so good that he has a healthy appitite, especilly after his troubles.
1:11 am
Lizlin
That's really good. and younger sibs? Is Deacon a sib or cousin? Are they accepting of new baby?
1:12 am
grannyrose
i had the same scenario with my first. had to do it on my own, as first hubby had epilepsy which caused him to fit just as he was wakening. like i was going to let him get up and handle a new-born.
1:12 am
Lizlin
That must've been hard for you but you got through it OK and the difficult times will get easier.
1:12 am
grannyrose
Zac and Blake are from a previous relationship of lucinda's. deacon, claudia and braxton are all full siblings.
1:13 am

glad to hear he is gaining weight.. is he home yet?
congrstulations joso!!!!!!

So are deacon and claudia OK or are they jealous?

1:19 am
grannyrose
yeah, joso, that wretched se6....drove me crazy, looking for it

I had no great expectations of the Olympics but loved them. I think I watched Twenty Twelve and thought it was all going to be disaster but it was wonderful

2:55 am

2:57 am
puglet
Iam glad your spirit is coming back. Have you gotten to ge visit the baby
2:59 am
grannyrose
pugs, son and his wife need time to adjust to having a newborn babe at home. i have been messaging them, but no direct verbal contact. the poor darlings are up every 3 hours to feed braxton. he is now gaining weight. i try to give them the space they need.
3:00 am
sprite
am glad your spirit is getting back up to speed, rose, and that braxton is home. Yes, a newborn is a challenge.
3:01 am
puglet
Understand very well what you mean.Sounds like hes making progress at last
3:01 am
sprite
pug, how are you today?
I am good, just a bit worried about some health issues that came up in the blood tests. Challenges never stop, do they?
3:03 am
puglet
Oh no Sprite--hope it isnt anything too bad. Iam good--wishing for some rain though.
3:03 am
sprite
no, nothing life-threatening, nothing like that. Don't worry :)
3:04 am
sprite
glad you are good. You can have some of the rain that is falling here. Although I am happy the heat seems to be over for now.
3:06 am
puglet
thanks for the offer!lal--glad its nothing real threating. My sunflowers just started blooming and they look so pretty
3:07 am
sprite
oh I love sunflowers. And when they are done, you can lie down the heart of the flower on a table or feedhouse, and birds will flock to your garden!
3:08 am
puglet
these flowers have tall stalks with several flowers on each stalk
3:09 am
sprite
oh pretty! Never seen sunflowers with more than one flower per stalk.
3:09 am
puglet
A farmer near me grows a field of sunflowers for his birds he raises and its so pretty when they are all bloomed out
3:10 am
sprite
wow a whole field!
3:10 am
puglet
the flowers are not as big as those that has just one head
3:11 am
puglet
and its funny to see them all facing the sun
3:12 am
sprite
oh yes and following it around all day
3:12 am
puglet
I kind of picture us all facing our maker like that when the time comes.Just fields of people looking towards the son
3:13 am
sprite
oh dear... I hope for something a bit more divers though :)

Haz1558
Have a little look at a blog I've discovered. It's just a drawing a day, but done by a mother with young children. I love the style and she's obviously blessed with a sense of humour. www.doodlemum.com
3:19 am
puglet
will do Haz and thank you for sharing
3:20 am
Haz1558
You're welcome, hope you enjoy it. They say a picture paints a thousand words and somehow she manages to capture the essence of a situation with a few strokes of the pen. A lovely talent to have.
3:21 am
sprite
very nice, thanks Haz. So recognisable in many ways.
3:21 am
Haz1558
And now I must be off to supervise doggy adventures upstairs. The lap-warmer has sprung into life.

3:22 am

3:22 am
puglet
Rose do you work jig puzzles online or the old fashion way
3:23 am
grannyrose
both, pugs, but mainly online.
3:24 am
sprite
I love jigsaws the oldfashioned way. Problem is where to keep them while working on them.
3:24 am
puglet
when we were at home-we had a puzzle out on the game table most of the time
3:24 am
sprite
oh how lovely. The bigger the better for me.
3:25 am
puglet
havent done that in along time due to space.I cant believe how much those things cost now a days
3:26 am
grannyrose
lol, i have a jigsaw puzzle board. it is a board of plywood, with an edge on three sides. the fourth side is open to allow me to slide a plywood sheet in, to enclose the jigsaw, and keep iot in place.
3:26 am
puglet
and the small town we lived in we were always trading with folks in the town
3:26 am
sprite
oh that is brilliant, rose.
3:26 am
puglet
oh I bet thats nice
3:27 am
puglet
did your hubby build it for you Rose
3:27 am
grannyrose
much better than going to finish said jigsaw, and find out the latest toddler has eaten pieces.
3:28 am
grannyrose
yes, pugs. and it works terrificly
3:28 am
sprite
oh yes! Or dog.
3:28 am
puglet
I always loved the round ones. I havent tried any of the stand-up kinds
3:28 am
sprite
we had one of those globe ones, but it was not fun. All pieces were numbered!
3:28 am
grannyrose
hmmm, neither have i pugs...
3:29 am
sprite
oh wouldn't it be lovely to meet someday, and do a HUGE jigsaw together?
3:30 am
grannyrose
mind you, i have one with a picture on both sides...you think you have finished, but turnit over, and alas...not the true picture.
3:30 am
puglet
be like a quilting in the old days-lol
3:30 am
puglet
never seen one like that Rose
3:30 am
grannyrose
yeah!!! sounds like a great idea
3:31 am
sprite
would be awesome. A true holiday.
3:31 am
grannyrose
and all the inner pieces were the same shape...
3:31 am
puglet
I bet that would be really hard
3:31 am
sprite
omg rose, that is not really fun. For me, part of the fun is picturing the piece I need and searching for it on the table. By shape.
3:32 am
grannyrose
lol, was a challenge...but not as bad as the one i gave my brother. it was a picture of a plate of spaghetti. he said it took him 3 months to finish.
3:33 am
sprite
oh evil! I have seen one with dalmatians. A big one. I think that would be fun to make.
3:33 am
puglet
giggle! I bet. Kind of like the one I got my sister.A puzzle of puzzle peices
3:33 am
sprite
oh btw rose, did you get around to watching that youtube vid I linked yesterday?
3:34 am
grannyrose
the things we do in order to be amused
3:34 am
sprite
a puzzle of puzzle pieces? Omg that IS evil :D :D
3:34 am
grannyrose

3:35 am
sprite
not at all
3:35 am
grannyrose
thanx dear heart
3:35 am

3:49 am
grannyrose
darn, my beautiful blue-tooth purple mouse just died. it only needs new batteries. back to the drab black one, i'm afraid.
3:51 am
sprite
it is hilarious, isn't it rose :)
3:51 am
sprite
aw, sorry about your mouse. Feed it!
3:52 am
grannyrose
yeah, to the non-existent cat, perhaps??
3:52 am
sprite
my favorite part is where he is at his doctor's and tells about his problem, and then goes :"What problem... and how are you??"
3:53 am
sprite
*giggles* That is the joke here... when someone asks us if we are willing to feed the cats, we say ofcourse... just tell us to whom.
3:53 am
grannyrose
*giggle* oh yeah
3:57 am
puglet
I went to the site-it says I need to download the tool bar (is this the right one)
3:58 am

3:58 am
sprite
just copy this link in the url bar of your browser:
http://tinyurl.com/p42pjch
4:00 am

thats what I did and it wants me to download a toolbar(which I did) so now I need to remove it.I will have to go back and find where i went wrong
4:00 am
sprite
oh dear, am so sorry!
4:01 am
puglet
nothing that I cant undo--dont worry about it
4:01 am
puglet
It gives me new learning-lol
4:01 am

it is apparently a whole alternate word for measurement of resistance usually oh4.
10:59 am
hurshy
which is an anagram of it.
10:59 am
kje
yes, physics term... means the opposite of its oh counterpart. always thought they were the most clever names for a property that the reverse property is spelled in reverse
10:59 am
hurshy
george takei had this funny picture on his fb page the other day of an ohm meter thing that's display read "FUTILE" - loved it.
11:00 am
kje
oh3 is resistance, mh3 is conductance (reciprocal properties)... who says physicists have no humor ; )
11:00 am
kje
ha! hursh - cute
11:02 am
hurshy
oh thanks for clarifying that it is conductance, somehow i had gotten the mistaken impression that they were BOTH resistance.
11:02 am
cybernan
are there any sh 5's?
11:02 am
kje
no, reciprocals, not the same
11:02 am

The Yiddish word is that word plus a k. I think that word is a shortened form.
12:57 pm
Jillyjill
*sigh* not seeing it yet...
12:57 pm
MollyL
Oh, and the Yiddish word is dirty, and that word just means a dull or stupid person. : D
12:58 pm

Add an extra vowel at the end, and you have a character from the cartoon strip Lil' Abner. : )

I wonder who first thought of spelling ohm backwards for conductance, some spoilsport is promoting the substitution of siemems for it now.

Small grid. All the hi x 10 and clue requests x 10 and the tyvm's x 10 are over. How was your day at work?
7:15 pm
cosdem
ah forgot its small! good. tomorrow is last day of training and I have overtime on Sunday! (i dont get paid or overtime but i can use the hours so i can get paid over christmas break. I work 5 hours sunday and that gives me 7.5 hours of comp time for the holidays)
7:15 pm
cosdem
ansd with my position I will be getting a lot of comp time so that will help during breaks
7:19 pm
MollyL
That's great. It's nice that they do that with overtime hours. A lot of companies don't.
7:20 pm
cosdem
I like it. I prefer that because I am only a 9 month staff. Comp time will help with summer break too even it's not much. Better than nothing.
7:22 pm
MollyL
People who work for school systems seem to prefer things that way. Unless they are 12 month employees that get paid all year long. That is the good life.
7:24 pm
cosdem
Teachers get to choose 9 or 12. If they choose 9 their checks will be bigger because if they go with 12 their checks will be deducted for summer pay. Maintenance staff and admin staff are all 12 months. Lucky lol
7:32 pm
MollyL
Yep. But teachers with nice, padded 10-12 salaries get to spread things out over 12 months, 2 of which they don't work. Not a bad gig.

I don't know if Minver has done a story clue for this grid but you could make a rhyming story clue for it. It rhymes and chimes so well along the way.

molly if you're still here--most teadhers work long hours for low pay and most when they have " time off" are rerequired to take classes, etc. I worked almost around the calendar. Now my daughter is.
