ROSE!!!!!!!!!!!!! How are you and and and... tell us all!

2:17 am

grannyrose

and how are my friends? i ha4 missed you all terribly.

2:17 am

sprite

good morning all :)
Joso, how did your move go, bit settled now?

2:17 am

grannyrose

hey sprite

2:18 am

sprite

missed you too, rose.

2:18 am

Jackanory

Hi rose how are you?

2:18 am

joso

I ache everywhere, moved 7 blocks and it took 14 hours

2:19 am

sprite

argh, joso, sounds hellish. But glad you have it behind you. *hugs*

2:19 am

grannyrose

surgery was midway between option a and option b. he did replace the plastic disc with a thicker one, and he replaced the femoral prosthesis with the one which has a latch on it. very little bone loss. will be able to ha4 a re-do when needed.

2:20 am

sprite

oh that is so great, rose. Sounds like he did real well, repairing the severe damage without spoiling your chance for a replacement. And how are you? Much pain?

2:20 am

grannyrose

jack doing okay. haven't had any injections since yesterday lunch time. managing pain with tablets and cold compresses.

2:20 am

joso

how does this latch work, can you lock the knee or what?

2:21 am

grannyrose

poor joso. i'm sorry i wasn't able to help you, mate. (not )

2:21 am

Lizlin

Hi all again :)

2:21 am

sprite

wow rose, that is quite good.

2:21 am

sprite

hi Liz :)

2:21 am

Lizlin

Sounds like you're doing well Rose.

2:21 am

joso

hi liz, sprite

2:22 am

Lizlin

How are things with you sprite?

2:22 am

grannyrose

joso, it fits together so that the prosthesis can only move one way...ie bend the knee and straighten it. it cannot slip sideways.

2:22 am

Lizlin

So more like a real knee?

2:23 am

joso

oooh, that sounds good, loosey goosey knee joints seems a bad idea to me

2:23 am

Lizlin

Or even better!

2:23 am

grannyrose

yes, liz. without the tendon to stabilise it the joint was slipping every which way. now moves only as it should.

2:23 am

sprite

okayish, Liz, bit tired and down. But heard they are expecting the worst storm in 10 years or so, with high tide. So maybe that is it and all will be well later today :D

2:24 am

sprite

that is good, rose. They should have given you that one the very first time.

2:24 am

Lizlin

Keep safe and dry, sprite.

2:24 am

No, I did not know them, this is the story; My ex and I were coming home from a xmas party and in this curve on the hi-way home is a country road, the two kids were standing right in the middle of that country road right along the hi-way. It was very cold with a new skip of snow . It was a boy of about 9or 10 and a little girl about 5-6, they were holding hands and dressed in I'de say maybe 1950 coats,hats and gloves. We turned around and went back to see why little kids that little would be out that late and in that cold. But when we got back to that spot they were gone. No footprints in the new snow or nothing.We even stopped at a house near by and asked if anyone in the area would have kids of that age and they said no. So thats the only time Ive seen ghost.

2:34 am

rururocks

2:35 am

sprite

praise the Lord for small blessings, rose. At least that worked out.

2:35 am

joso

don got through to pug and I just before signed off before my move, so it was up to pug to pass on the message

2:35 am

sprite

sounds like an experience that leaves a big impression, pug. I know I would be shaken.

2:36 am

sprite

yes and later on he also sent an email, rose.

2:36 am

puglet

and I did the best I could for I only have very few emails of anyone here

2:37 am

Lizlin

Really appreciated Don letting us know that the op was over and you were resting. Thanks to him :)

2:37 am

joso

I'm sure you did great pug

2:37 am

Lizlin

You did fine pugs.

2:38 am

puglet

speaking of our babble friends has anyone talked to crossy lately? He had a awful toothache last week

2:38 am

sprite

oh poor crossy!

2:39 am

Lizlin

He's on strong anti biotics to clear the infection, then they'll look again. But he was beginning to eat solid food again but nothing crunchy!

2:39 am

puglet

theres nothing like a bad tooth---:(

2:40 am

puglet

thanks Liz, I knew he was in some bad pain there

2:40 am

sprite

ah, good to know, Liz, thank you

2:40 am

Lizlin

He started maths in school this week and wasn't too happy about that!

2:41 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Am so happy to see you again, hun. Babble isn't the same without you, and without joso.

2:41 am

sprite

lol, I bet, Liz. Quite a difference with English.

2:41 am

joso

he had dental surgery, an infection in the jaw drained, his face swelled up, on a diet was on a diet of soup and mush but swelling has come down enough to have scrambled eggs. on antibiotics

2:41 am

grannyrose

2:42 am

sprite

2:44 am

Lizlin

Lol sprite

2:46 am

puglet

I dont know why,but my electric is flickering and its nice out right now

2:47 am

sprite

forewarnings of the storm to come, pug. Air pressure and moisture and tension in the air all go haywire with storm approaching. I am looking at leaves that pass my window horizontally, lol.

2:47 am

puglet

are you enjoying that wonderful hospital food there Rose

2:48 am

puglet

Has it started raining there yet

2:48 am

sprite

no, not yet

2:49 am

puglet

Hope you are feeling better than you were yesterday

2:49 am

sprite

not yet. But I think it is because of the storm. Will clear up along with the skies :)

2:50 am

Lizlin

I'm off for a bit. Babble blindness has struck with 26 to go! Look after yourselves and keep warm and safe. Hugs to all :)

2:50 am

grannyrose

food not too bad, pugs, although the breakfast menu leaves a bit to be desired. continental only, no hot food.

2:50 am

sprite

good job, Liz! Bye and have a great evening. *hugs*

2:51 am

grannyrose

omg, have just opened my emails for the first time since morning of surgery, there's 105 of them...

2:51 am

puglet

about 6 years ago we had the weirdest snowstorm. In fields that were north and south the wind had caused the snow to ball up and you would pass these fields and huge snow balls laid all over them. The only time I ever seen that

2:52 am

sprite

lol rose! No hot food for breakfast... we never have hot food. You will survive ;)

2:52 am

puglet

bye Liz

2:52 am

grannyrose

2:52 am

sprite

lolol.... yeah rose, it is hard to be loved :D Go open your fanmail!

2:53 am

2:54 am

sprite

*serves rose a generous helping of eggs, bacon, hot toast, maple syrup and strong coffee*

2:54 am

puglet

2:56 am

grannyrose

2:56 am

joso

2:57 am

sprite

rose, but please take your time getting rid of them again, ok?

2:57 am

rururocks

That is like asking for a second whelping of something?

2:57 am

sprite

poor joso! *hands ruru a selection of tea bags*

2:57 am

grannyrose

roflolol, stop being such a scrooge, go out and buy another box of them.

2:57 am

puglet

I seen where this month of dec. only happens every 823 years--that we have 5 mondays,5sats and 5sundays

grannyrose

2:59 am

puglet

2:59 am

sprite

speak for yourself, pug... I have no intention of dying.

2:59 am

grannyrose

or better still, wrap the teabags p in a freezer bag and put them in your handbag....oh, wait, joso doesn't carry a handbag...or does he?

3:00 am

puglet

823 years is way way off Sprite-lol

3:00 am

sprite

3:04 am

puglet

3:05 am

grannyrose

3:05 am

sprite

we are on jigidi.com to play jigsaw puzzles, rose. I am making new ones too :)

3:06 am

sprite

jeezzz. Is SIL secretly hoping she won't come out of it, maybe?

3:06 am

puglet

3:06 am

grannyrose

3:18 am

puglet

If you hang your things out are you not afraid your bloomers might be found about the neighborhood

3:19 am

3:26 am

puglet

I didnt know you didnt cook

3:26 am

grannyrose

brb, changing cold compress

3:27 am

sprite

3:27 am

puglet

okay rose

3:27 am

sprite

my love always cooks, pug. I have trouble standing up for long, and more important, I just ha4d cooking. Have been doing it since I was 7 and somehow it all got mixed up inside with bad feelings.

3:29 am

puglet

I didnt know Sprite--so sorry but am happy for you that things are getting better for you in that area

3:30 am

sprite

am gonna take it easy today... spaghetti with leek, bacon and soft cheese with herbs and garlic. And a green salad.

3:30 am

grannyrose

sprite, perhaps in learning to cook when you are surrounded by happy memories and kind friends will be a sort of break-through for you

3:31 am

sprite

yes indeed, rose. Making new memories to take the place of all the bad stuff.

3:31 am

puglet

sounds mouth watering Sprite---I bet rose would love some-lol

3:31 am

grannyrose

yup. sounds delish sprite.

3:31 am

sprite

it is. Very easy and very tasty.

3:32 am

grannyrose

yesterday th4 served a lovely tuna garden salad. alas 3/4 of it went back to the kitchen. just couldn't eat it.

3:33 am

puglet

have you had alot of visitors

3:33 am

sprite

aw what a shame, rose. Too soon still and still in too much pain?

3:35 am

grannyrose

my friends, in a few minutes i will have to go. i am already 1/2 hour late for my walk. yes, pugs, don everyday, my friends from the operating suite, my brothers, and friends. an endless stream of them.

3:35 am

grannyrose

yes, sprite, just no appetite.

3:36 am

puglet

dont seem the time has dragged then for you---bet you will be glad to get home to really rest

3:37 am

grannyrose

*nodding he4* yup. no patient call bells chiming. and space to sit quietly and reflect.

3:38 am

puglet

I hope to see you tomorrow then Rose and take care, you are in my thoughts and hope you get to go home too---hugs and love

3:38 am

grannyrose

alrighty, ha4 to go. see you at the flip if not sooner. dear pugs, thanx for your ecards. th4 pick me up no end. and sprite, i really do love your poem.

3:39 am

grannyrose

xoxoxo

3:39 am

puglet

night Rose

3:39 am

sprite

bye rose, dear friend. *hugs* and keep on taking care of you. I will pray for Mother Mac.

3:48 am

sprite

good to have seen and heard rose again, isn't it pug :)

3:48 am

puglet

yes it was Sprite

3:49 am

puglet

are you about done here

3:50 am

sprite

12 left here, and you?

3:50 am

puglet

19

3:51 am

sprite

nice going!

3:52 am

puglet

it still takes me awhile to get these grids but after Joso and Rose explained the pts of words that has helped me alot

3:53 am

sprite

ah, good!

3:55 am

puglet

at the flip its hard to pick up the clues cause it goes so fast and too everyone is talking

3:55 am

sprite

I very much dislike being given so many clues just at the start. I like finding some stuff for myself.

3:56 am

puglet

thats how I do too---I just ignore em and find all I can on my own

3:57 am

puglet

I have found if I want fws I come later in the day when OO is on cause he clues to where I can get them mostly

3:57 am

sprite

I admire that. I can't myself. Always see the chat moving and can't help noticing the clues. And usually, seeing a clue means finding the word :(

3:57 am

sprite

o-o is one of the best cluers. He and Haz.

3:58 am

puglet

some clues in a way I cant pick up on it--you and Rose does good on cluing too

3:59 am

puglet

and peach and zoom are good too

3:59 am

sprite

yes, which kind of clues one gets is very personal. I have had several times that people had to dummy down their clue until embarrassing levels... until I finally got the word.

4:02 am

rubyfoo

He is doing terribly, feels guilty and despairing, but I no help to me whatsoever.

4:02 am

sprite

well, the only way to get through this is by facing it all, ruby... so I think it is very good that your son insists you organize better. But yes, stressful, very! Here's a big *hug* for you.

It's 6 degrees (F) here; but beautiful sun on our fresh 6 inches of snow

12:56 pm

Nef

(We had a 2-3 day storm here, I didn't like driving yesterday at all but today (when I don't need to go anywhere) it would be good

12:57 pm

it's okay; my keyboard is wonky lately and I may need a new one for Christmas

1:14 pm

Jindigo

I was trying to clean mine and hit enter.

1:16 pm

Nef

I'm getting lots of "Words have to be at least four letters long" msgs lately when I'm entering words

1:18 pm

Nef

(and I AM entering longer words!) Also my left "shift" key seems to be on again, off again (the right one works just fine though)

1:19 pm

Jindigo

sounds like it is time for a key board - or maybe a really good cleaning. Remove keys one or two at a time.

1:21 pm

I've cleaned it out recently. I'm not sure how old this keyboard is; but I thik I'll ask for a new one for Christmas

1:23 pm

I know she usually does but she is not online. Is there a trick to access her profile?

1:24 pm

Nef

hi jessmom. Thnks for the info

1:25 pm

Nef

Jindigo, it helps to put some people in your "My Friends" list. Then you can get their profiles (and list) whenever

1:27 pm

Jindigo

I know, i know. She never seems to be on when i am so have not been able to add her - I look for her everytime I am on.

1:28 pm

Nef

THe other thing you can do is go to Archives and click on the name there and it puls up the profile

1:28 pm

Jindigo

oh - thanks Nef. will try now.

Oops. NOT archive. I mean the rankings

Hey Molly. Since you feel the need to ring up nasty comment said on FB I will reiterate my sentiments from there to here. You are a sanctimonious, narcissistic individual that seems to make most of the long timers unwelcome. There. I don't need to hide behind FB To say my feelings. I call a spade a spade. You are one of the main reasons long timers don't visit here anymore because they can't be arsed with your immaturity.

4:22 pm

herinfernallady

Lao grammatically it is Tells not tell.

Okay, I have no idea what's going on, but this is a civil arena. Your comment is inappropriate, herin. If you have an issue with someone, please contact them privately.

4:28 pm

Rows

Jillyjill

Great news rows!!!

4:29 pm

thanks Jill :)

4:30 pm

Just starting and glad to add congratulations for Rows interviewing prowess. Best wishes in Taipei. Is that in Taiwan? I could Google it but you know.

4:30 pm

4:32 pm

ch1212

(Happy dance for Rows, although I don't think we've met before, but am always happy for good Babbler news!)

4:33 pm

Rows

hehe thanks :) i do speak some Chinese, yes, since i lived in China for 2 years before

4:34 pm

stidgmere

Wow, this is so impressive and you Babble in English. Streaming positive energy your direction (you should feel the surge soon.)

4:34 pm

Rows

haha, well English is my native language :) thanks!

4:36 pm

stidgmere

Oh, hard to know what languagages Bablers are familiar with. Lots of extra letters in language for those who like redundancy.

4:41 pm

Jillyjill

okay...24 left...time to start my mexican chicken soup...warm us up here, it is very cold! bbl

4:43 pm

stidgmere

We are just at freezing and still have a chance to get a little warmer before sunset at 4 something tonight. We are seeing a little blue skies through thin clouds in our little corner of the great Northwest. Last evening was our second orchestra concert so my time is now freed up for baking and getting holiday preparations completed around our house.

4:55 pm

gramma

HE5/22? Clue, please.

4:58 pm

stidgmere

he 5 22 means weight. Not light.

4:58 pm

Weighty, Gramma. Not light.

Hi Soodle, we could be twins with the mind set we have.

good evening my babble friends:))

5:02 pm

We'll be cooler this weekend, too. But dry and that is a nice treat for us.

5:02 pm

hi crossy and mkg

5:03 pm

mkg

ok i need clues. 31 left and stumped. and have NO sixes! help!!!!!!!

5:03 pm

mkg

i do have both sevens though. so if you need those let meknow.

5:04 pm

ch1212

crossy, glad you're here. The lab report finally came back (after two weeks). Squalmous cell carcinoma, so easy to treat. Am told I'll need to have 3 - 6 month checks for the next few years.

5:05 pm

Soodle

I am totally baffled as to how there can be such animosity amongst a group of (mostly) middle-aged women, all of whom enjoy word games. Each of us are in our own homes, or work places, each of us fighting our own personal battles. How on-line relationships deteriorate and become nasty mystifies and saddens me. What ever happened to 'Live & Let Live'? I'm sad.

5:05 pm

ch1212

mkg: wh6, ha6, ho6 to start you out with.

5:06 pm

mkg

good luck ch.

5:06 pm

mkg

animosity? huh? me?

5:06 pm

Anniebrook

hello dear Soodle

5:07 pm

ch1212

Thanks, mkg. Crossy was very supportive while I was waiting for the results.

5:07 pm

mkg

on the chat? are people angry and fighting? how did i miss all this excitement??????????well i guess it is anonymous fighting so better to fight with someone you dont know and never will meet............

5:08 pm

mkg

so where soodle is the fight? how do i get to read it? bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!!

5:08 pm

mkg

ch, no matter what you are told, brace yourself for a rough ride......it is never easy. and may you be totally cured and fine and live to 120 years old.

5:09 pm

Anniebrook

good luck, ch 1212

5:09 pm

Lol mkg. Read back over the chog for the last hour. And Hi Annie, Crossy et al. ( And, Crossy, I know you are not a middle-aged woman, but your an honorary one!!!).

5:14 pm

ch1212

Thank you, soodle and crossy. After all the sunburns I had as a child living in Hawaii, when 'sunscreen' was noxema on the nose, I've been kind of expecting it.

5:15 pm

Yep, that's me...a winner

5:56 pm

gramma

Wel since everyone is happy in their own little babbleonia, see ya!

5:59 pm

o-o

RIGHT: A LOT

Perhaps this common spelling error began because there does exist in English a word spelled “allot” which is a verb meaning to apportion or grant. The correct form, with “a” and “lot” separated by a space is perhaps not often encountered in print because formal writers usually use other expressions such as “a great deal,” “often,” etc.

You shouldn’t write “alittle” either. It’s “a little.”

6:03 pm

bogster

well laa di da

6:06 pm

bogster

please forgive a longtime babbler who in his haste to offer fellow babbler a clue a forgot to add a space

6:07 pm

Soodle

Off with his head!

6:08 pm

bogster

I have lost it twice before

6:10 pm

Soodle

You only lost your head twice?? Pshsh! I lose mine almost daily! You are clearly a light weight Bogster.

6:11 pm

bogster

If you can keep your head while those around you lose theirs and blame it on you

6:13 pm

Soodle

I'm biting my tongue to prevent myself from doing a Telly Savalas version of 'If'....

6:14 pm

bogster

I would like to see that performance

6:14 pm

Soodle

Kipling, eat your heart out...

6:15 pm

o-o

phantom: galactagogue

6:15 pm

bogster

seriously?

6:16 pm

Soodle

You spotted that too, o-o? I am not alone. :-)

6:18 pm

o-o

The seeds [of caraway] have been found to have antispasmodic, carminative, emmenagogue, expectorant, galactagogue, stimulant, stomachic and tonic properties.

6:23 pm

Soodle

Once again, I've made an eejit of myself on Babble. I waxed eloquently about middle-aged women making up most of the Babble family, now I find myself outnumbered by the males of the species. I'm slowly reversing out of the chog.... Good night all.

6:24 pm

Jillyjill

Wait wait...I just logged on soodle!!

Oh thank goodness! Another middle aged woman! Hi Jilly :-)

7:43 pm

I have students who come to school without jackets or gloves, even in this weather. I can't tell with some of them if it's a fashion statement or they don't have the right clothes.

7:43 pm

rururocks

or can't afford them.. that's possible too

7:44 pm

stidmama

oh, but walks in the cold air make the inside feel that much nicer :-) I go between the school buildings without a jacket in this weather so my room doesn't feel so bad. It doesn't stay very warm.

7:44 pm

rururocks

I felt Like i walked into a sauna once I came in.. and I have the temp at 60

7:46 pm

stidmama

I am hoping that next winter, when the cooler temps show up we can keep our house a comfortable 65-68. The apartment, to stay comfortable (we don't have a temp-control) we seem to run the little wall heaters a lot.

7:46 pm

penquis

7:55 pm

rururocks

7:55 pm

rururocks

I haven't had that in a long time

7:55 pm

stidmama

7:55 pm

rururocks

7:56 pm

stidmama

7:56 pm

rururocks

7:56 pm

Dorens

7:57 pm

rururocks

oh..

7:57 pm

Dorens

birria

7:57 pm

rururocks

I wouldn't blame the curry :D

7:57 pm

stidmama

it's mostly wonderful, doren! I second-guess myself a lot, but that's normal for a person teaching new content and ages. Overall, I just love it!

7:57 pm

Dorens

first year is usually tough
and no, i blame the goat

7:58 pm

rururocks

us goats always get the blame :D

7:58 pm

stidmama

I am working about 50 to 60 hours a week, less than when I did the full-time sub job last year, but more than other experienced part-time teachers.

7:58 pm

rururocks

(that's goatspeak)

7:58 pm

Dorens

i love chatting with second year teachers after the first two weeks of school, they are always so blissful. they had no idea how much stress the first year was until it was over

7:59 pm

Dorens

i want a goat ... so I wouldn't have to worry about mowing the lawn

7:59 pm

stidmama

you goats probably are unjustly maligned, methinks

8:00 pm

rururocks

that's what I think stid

8:00 pm

Dorens

brisket in the oven... one of my grandmother's best recipes ever . (having friends over tomorrow night to help me decorate my tree... i usually feed them latkes; this year they get the full treatment)

8:00 pm

rururocks

people think we're saying neener neener neener and we're trying to say nanny

8:00 pm

rururocks

*heads to Dorens* I love Latkes

8:00 pm

Dorens

ah, and nanny is what i called that grandmother... bringing two strands together, full circle

8:01 pm

stidmama

I should do latkes this weekend... I am so completely off my "everything" still -- we normally have latkes the first night of Hannukah. I started making them partly with sweet potatoes a few years ago (by accident) and ever since then we add carrots and sweet potato every time.

8:01 pm

Dorens

ru, i'll tell you a secret.... {everybody loves latkes}

8:01 pm

rururocks

really? I thought it was just me

8:02 pm

Dorens

sweet potatoes make good latkes... so do leeks and potatoes.... it's the frying! (and onion)

8:02 pm

rururocks

ummmm.. i'm getting hungry

8:02 pm

stidmama

Latkes, chicken pot pie, and pancakes piled high with lots of syrup and bacon... mmmmmmmm

8:02 pm

rururocks

I need to find a nice red wine

8:03 pm

Dorens

nice and crispy, soft inside.... mmmm! i'm getting excited thinking about it. We had them the night after thanksgiving and I gorged myself. My mother was here last Sunday and she made them and I gorged myself. wonder what will happen tomorrow

8:03 pm

Dorens

ha, ru... do you want recommendations?

8:03 pm

stidmama

wine with latkes... with chicken pot pie... with pancakes... with ice cream. :-)

8:03 pm

Dorens

wait, stid. latkes AND regular pancakes? doesn't sound kosher to me

8:03 pm

rururocks

I have some really expensive bottles.. don't feel like opening them

8:03 pm

rururocks

I need to find something easy to drink

8:04 pm

Dorens

i know the feeling. i don't have too many left at all and am savoring them

8:04 pm

Dorens

What is the appropriate behavior for a man or a woman in the midst of this world, where each person is clinging to his piece of debris? What's the proper salutation between people as they pass each other in this flood? ~Buddha

10:31 pm

mab

you just do the best you can.

10:31 pm

mab

and don't over think things because you haven't time.

10:33 pm

mab

or was that rhetorical?

10:33 pm

mab

or just Buddha?

10:33 pm

o-o

No. I was thinking of a salutation.

10:36 pm

mab

salut!

10:36 pm

mab

bonne chance!

10:37 pm

well, that's why i suggest something noncommital but jaunty.

10:39 pm

Hey, you
