10:05 am

o-o

many new io words for me

10:06 am

Aloyisius

am looking forward to a genuine swamp tromp on the 20th.. headed into the wilds of Babcock Ranch, get to try out my new walking stick.. some areas have two feet of water and I don't want to fall on my face (not good for the ear or the camera)

10:06 am

o-o

an m word for the medicos -- a disk of cartilage between the articulating ends of the bones in a joint.

10:06 am

Aloyisius

got it, but thought of water levels in a cylinder

10:07 am

o-o

I really like walking poles ... my balance is shot'

10:08 am

o-o

no 6/21 -- females

10:08 am

Aloyisius

mine too I'm afraid.. but here is hope.. vestibular rehab really helped, practically erased vertigo

10:10 am

Aloyisius

little things called otoconia had become displaced, were in the posterior semicircular canal.. and just by doing positioning exercises, I guess the PT was able to reposition them and help my balance

10:11 am

o-o

Good for her ... and you

10:11 am

Aloyisius

BPPV = benign paroxysmal positional vertigo I think.. one PT was female, the other male..am grateful to them both

10:12 am

o-o

mine suggested I navigate narrow halls ...

10:13 am

Aloyisius

so, I just wanted to pass on what I learned bc I was very upset with the vertigo and didn't know that help was available like that.. such a relief

10:14 am

o-o

What do outlaws eat with their milk?
Crookies.

10:14 am

o-o

Thanks for passing it along.

10:14 am

Aloyisius

yes, I have exercises to do in a corner while standing on a pillow, and also some to do while walking down a hall, turning my head.. ok, o-o that was a crummy one, lol

10:15 am

o-o

Yes it was ... but your description was very apropo

2:10 pm

jesdraggon

this grid is tricksome

2:12 pm

MollyL

Hi Jes. I saw some of your story about the kid's girlfriend. You and Sue need to have a conversation about girlfriends from hell.

2:12 pm

jesdraggon

Well, she's hopefully out of his life, he says he's done with her, anyway. And we've found him a counselor that he says he likes and thinks it's productive to talk to, so there's that.

2:15 pm

jesdraggon

And also hopefully, he'll be more picky in his future relationships instead of just going along with all the crazy of whatever girl says he's cute.

2:17 pm

MollyL

All good things. Glad to hear it.

2:19 pm

jesdraggon

me too... twit was driving me nuts. She's completely off the edge. has 19 facebooks of which I am aware, and the last one she started 'for people can't find' her, but she's so inept that she friends her old facebooks from her new ones, so posts from the new on show up on the wall of the old one, making her immediately findable.

2:19 pm

jesdraggon

Reasonably certain that the 'people' she doesn't want finding her are my MIL and me, since she switched within hours of getting chewed out by MIL about the shit she was posting on facebook... hah.

2:21 pm

MollyL

I can't even fathom 19 Facebook pages. That right there is an indicator of what a psycho she is.

2:21 pm

jesdraggon

indeed.

2:22 pm

BzznBea

She has to have a lot of email addresses to have that many FB pages. I think you can only have two pages attached to each email address.

2:22 pm

jesdraggon

wouldn't surprise me. She switched phone numbers every couple weeks too.

2:22 pm

MollyL

It bothers me to think that someone that young is that messed up.

2:23 pm

jesdraggon

and it's not like it's difficult to get free email addresses - just keep adding numbers to the name on hotmail, right? not like she's ever going to check them...

2:24 pm

MollyL

Oh yeah, you can have as many free email addresses as you can think of names and passwords for. One of the things that makes the internet a playground for weirdos.

2:24 pm

jesdraggon

she comes from a long line of FUBAR, Molly. Been training in it since infancy. couldn't possibly hurt her chances of successful life by getting her out, but I sure as hell don't want to foster her.

2:26 pm

MollyL

Sad. Kids with that kind of family history usually end up repeating it.

2:27 pm

jesdraggon

Yeah. She told me once how she has a bunch of relatives that have had kids at 15 and 16, and one that had 3 kids by age 17 and THEY"RE ALL FINE like this was proof that she has a good family life.

2:28 pm

jesdraggon

I don't even try to sort out how much of that is truth and how much lies in a failed attempt to impress me, because I think it's physically painful for her to speak truly, but ...

2:29 pm

kje

se7 after sperm?

2:30 pm

MollyL

And these demento girls always seem to gravitate towards the nice boys, like your step-son and Sue's boy.

2:30 pm

2:31 pm

penquis

ironic, kje...;o)

2:31 pm

jesdraggon

well sure - he's too nice to be prepared for her shit. easy to push around and therefore a better mark to string along.

2:31 pm

jesdraggon

he hasn't learned the art of calling bullshit on crazy people.

2:31 pm

Jellen

Hi all..

2:32 pm

jesdraggon

afternoon, Jellen :)

2:32 pm

MollyL

Oh well, he got a crash course young, didn't he?

2:32 pm

kje

TY!

2:32 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, hopefully it sticks.

2:32 pm

MollyL

Not getting "ironic". Was that a clue?

2:33 pm

penquis

no...just all that talk about procreating...

2:37 pm

jesdraggon

heh. my cousin has some ironic procreation going on - apparently the fetus and the IUD are cohabiting her uterus quite happily...

2:38 pm

MollyL

One of the reasons I never went the IUD route. Those stories creeped me out.

2:42 pm

Jellen

Oh, my...

2:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

what am I walking into here?

2:48 pm

2:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

MollyL

I'm guessing Reese gets that a lot. Along with some fork jokes.

2:54 pm

jesdraggon

the p words are kicking my brain

2:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

2:55 pm

MollyL

Some of the P words fall under the "not your average conversation words" heading.

TO, do you mean "Appalachia: A History of Mountains and People"?

8:04 pm

Thank for bring me up to date, joso. I really don't know all I need to know about the computer age.

8:05 pm

That doesn't air here until next week.

8:06 pm

gapeach

I am unable to watch Downton Abbey free anymore so I guess I'll either get cable or buy the DVD's this fall.

8:08 pm

MollyL

Peach, Downton Abbey web stream is available the week after it airs. Do a search on the call letters of your PBS station (ours is WETA)

8:08 pm

penquis

peach...if you go to your local pbs station's website, they might have "video on demand"...mine does...you can watch episodes that way after they air

8:09 pm

gapeach

Thanks guys, I will do that.

8:11 pm

joso

you do need to keep up with these programs, as they normally are withdrawn after a fortnight or month, not available forever.

8:16 pm

MollyL

Peach, you can also purchase episodes of Downton at Amazon Instant Video for $1.99 each. Or you can buy the whole season if you want.

8:20 pm

gapeach

I"ve found the PBS station here, its call letters are WCES. I will look later tonight....thanks for all the info.

9:03 pm

penquis

yes, a lot of ghost words...

9:04 pm

Nef

LOL! And the words that ARE here I appear to be mis-spelling tonight.

9:04 pm

penquis

yes, it's a frustrating grid...

9:04 pm

Nef

I'm almost half way in and finding that out just now.

9:05 pm

Nef

Did you finish yet penquis? Or are we the last ones slogging through it?

9:05 pm

yes, i finished earlier...watching the ball game

9:06 pm

9:14 pm

penquis

you might want to do that if you want to finish...

9:17 pm

Nef

I'd like to do that tonight; I want to feel like I've accomplished something tonight (besides laundry and housework and meals I mean)

9:18 pm

penquis

i hear ya...

9:19 pm

joso

Sounds like you've already done allot, all I've done is the grid.

9:20 pm

Nef

ahh, joso, but the difference is that "women's" work is never done; therefore feels like it doesn't count sometimes.

9:21 pm

joso

feels like it counts to me when I do it.

9:25 pm

Nef

it's really funny how it all shows up and has to be done the next day though. I guess that's why it doesn't always count.

9:29 pm

joso

yea, maintenance jobs, I hate them. I'd much rather do a major project that has some finnish point than something that's just going to come back tomorrow, or next week.

9:30 pm

Nef

EXACTLY! :-) Maybe that's why I love Babble so much: THIS grid won't show up again! :-D

9:30 pm

penquis

lol...

9:32 pm

Nef

why do you like it joss and pen?

9:33 pm

Nef

(sorry, for some reason spellcheck doesn't like your name and I can't get it to accept it yet., joso

9:33 pm

penquis

i am also fond of the feeling of closure, completion

9:33 pm

Nef

yep.

9:34 pm

penquis

i also like working at my own pace

9:35 pm

Nef

that's true too; but I like the people in chat too

9:37 pm

penquis

i am not big on chat

9:37 pm

penquis

i like to clue

9:37 pm

joso

Though I have a theory about gender and cleaning. I will clean a room and clean, do an honest job, put things back where they belong, dust, vacuum etc. then a woman will enter after me (often saying something like 'if you aren't going to do a proper job why do it at all' [a mistake]) putter about for an hour or 2 and when i reenter it is cleaner. I can't point to what was done that I missed, but I can perceive the difference on some level. It's very frustrating.

9:38 pm

penquis

heh heh...

9:40 pm

joso

I like this word puzzle because spelling is not so important, and I can't spell worth a damm, I like that it has a comletion point, I enjoy thinking up clever clues, and I like the babble culture.

9:40 pm

Nef

joso, I just wish that my DH would even try to clean; especially clean up after himself. However; he gets so tired doing things (he has MS) that I always tell him I'll do it. Somehow, I think I forgot to get him to clean up as he goes along, because he sure can make a huge mess without trying.

9:41 pm

joso

dh? dear heart, damm husband

9:43 pm

Nef

LOL! Usually dear hubby; sometimes darn husband. :-)

9:43 pm

Nef

I love him a ton; but sometimes....

9:44 pm

joso

dorkus humongus

9:44 pm

Nef

LOL!

9:46 pm

joso

yea, from the chat and that the site is something like 80% female I get the impression wives and long term girlfriends apply a lot of tolerance to living with boys.

9:46 pm

Nef

Kind of like the word I just now found: ar4/4

9:48 pm

Nef

80 % female? Really? I'd never have guessed that. I wonder though; is it just that the women chat more; or have you checked the rankings and came up with that number?

9:48 pm

mkg

hi all. i cant get to half way.....................darn. and i dont do list til then. i have all the 8s so would love some 7s clued. i have no o words for top line and third line o but i have all three of the 2nd line o's.

9:49 pm

joso

not a fact, just my estimate from chat, maybe women just do mor talking

9:50 pm

Nef

mkg, I had to list before halfway myself. And I don't have all the O's. :-(

9:50 pm
