12:45 am

Dianne

ruru - start with the spice and a vowel _ transgression

12:45 am

VolleymomDee

start with th 5, 7, 8, 8, 9, 5... starts with a pronoun like thee, thou....use sometimes vowel; a gland begins the series

12:45 am

Dianne

+ transgression

12:46 am

jbp

thanks for that great clue, Dianne

12:46 am

Dianne

yw

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

th 7/44 old pronoun + a coal .... in W VA

12:47 am

jbp

thanks Dee

12:47 am

rururocks

thank you

12:48 am

VolleymomDee

yw

12:48 am

melonheadjujube

I thought the th gland had a U in it.

12:49 am

VolleymomDee

isn't this one the plural?

12:50 am

rururocks

oh

12:50 am

rururocks

I found the sa 9 finally

12:50 am

jbp

care to share ruru?

12:50 am

VolleymomDee

didn't know there is an sa 9, ty looking

12:51 am

rururocks

didn't someone call a sa 9?

12:51 am

VolleymomDee

sa 8 x 2

12:51 am

jbp

i CALLED SA8

12:51 am

jbp

sorry didn't mean to YELL

12:52 am

VolleymomDee

sa 8 x 3 sa 9

12:53 am

melonheadjujube

dictionary has some asian foods, not others. rejects seitan.

12:53 am

VolleymomDee

sa 8 /40 and pl sa 9/44 to make clean or germ free

12:54 am

VolleymomDee

sa 8/40 states of being of sound mind (a plural)... no singular here

12:54 am

melonheadjujube

sa8, soundnesses of mind.

12:54 am

melonheadjujube

one is anagram of the other.

12:54 am

VolleymomDee

sa 7/28 and sa 8/40 satisfy to the fullest

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

still short 1 8...

12:55 am

jbp

my germ killer won't let me make it plural...

12:55 am

Lizlin

Mine neither!

12:55 am

jbp

heh

12:55 am

Lizlin

Thanks for the satisfy clue!

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

yw

12:55 am

jbp

no matter how often I type it, ignite is not in this grid

12:56 am

melonheadjujube

no, you can't pluralise the germ killig, just the clear-headedness, which otoh, does not showup in the singular here. COnfused? OF course!

12:57 am

jbp

as if I would be any other way. ;-)

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

yes, the sa 8/40 is pluralised for sa 9/54, mel

12:57 am

ChrissieDee

Different germ killer - ends in had food

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

sa 8, 9, 8, 8 ....

12:58 am

VolleymomDee

that was the missing 8

12:58 am

jbp

the only one that is plural is the one with no singular, correct?

12:59 am

periwinkle

help with the mi/10 pls

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

no .. sa 8 (9 is plural), sa 8 (plural with no singular), sa 8 (singular)

12:59 am

jbp

so sa 8/40 x 3 mental soundnesses, cleanup, satisfies...what am I missing?

12:59 am

ChrissieDee

ty Dee, also have all the 8s and 9s now

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

1:10 am

melonheadjujube

oh, the THs are a hoot, the first and last just might be pronounced the same, if that's any help (interchageable vowels or vowel-ish letters) and the th 8/9 is nearly an anagram of a man's name that is also a hay grass. [repoof]

I've been jigidi-ing for a couple of years now -- it's by far the best of the online attempts at jig-saw puzzles. But its pieces are still set in one position -- not turnable as "real" pieces are so I don't find it as interesting and use it less and less these days, and only with the largest size (amount of pices) puzzles. I'm not particularly computer knowledgeable myself: does anyone know if moving pieces around is feasible with the current technology?

3:23 am

sprite

good morning all

3:24 am

sprite

hi jwr, yes it should be. I only work the largest puzzles myself as well, the smaller ones are over too quickly. It would definitely be fun if the pieces were all over the table, like with real jigsaws.

sprite

another thing I would like is to be able to 'shove' a heap of piece to one side.

3:28 am

Maisie

Sounds like you can't beat a real jigsaw puzzle

3:30 am

sprite

hi Maisie, I see it as two different things. I really enjoy jigidi. Lots of puzzles to choose from, and the big ones can be very challenging, especially if they are meant to be. Did one of a heap of coins and it was HARD! but fun. And it is not in the way in the living room or kitchen.
But yes, a real jigsaw is wonderful.

3:31 am

Maisie

I have yet to try the site but agree a big downside of a real puzzle is having it take up space.

3:32 am

Maisie

..plus not being able to go past without putting a few more pieces in place

3:32 am

sprite

lol too true

3:33 am

Maisie

Must go, chores to do

3:33 am

sprite

ok, have a good day, Maisie

3:47 am

ivesy3

there is a jigsaw puzzle site on facebook. its called jigsaw world.. pieces can be moved, highlighted etc. has some good puzzles on it . can make your pictures into puzzles too, but dont think you can do puzzles from others.. oh and good morning..

3:47 am

sprite

hi ivesy :)

3:51 am

o-o

Hello

3:51 am

sprite

hi o-o, glad to see you. Have missed seeing you for a couple of days.

3:53 am

o-o

Above zero here.

3:53 am

sprite

zero Kelvin, Fahrenheid or Celcius?

3:54 am

o-o

F

3:54 am

sprite

ah, grin. That is not so hot.

3:55 am

o-o

Truly, a heat wave

3:55 am

sprite

is it bothering you a lot, the cold?

3:56 am

Jivingjenny0

please may i have a clue for the mi/10

3:56 am

o-o

Not at all. The winters have been mind for many years.

3:56 am

sprite

hi Jjenny, placing the plates and cutlery in a wrong way?

3:57 am

sprite

am glad. It is miserable to be depressed and cold.

3:58 am

Jivingjenny0

than you sprite

3:58 am

sprite

yvw Jjenny :)

3:58 am

o-o

The rising temps at the poles apparently caused the cold spell. Those who pooh global warming may smirk .... but climate change is serious business

3:59 am

sprite

oh I agree. Lots and lots of changes going on and they will have many effects we don't realise yet. I wouldn't pooh global warming, though it does strike me as ironic that the warming of the poles causes extreme cold.

4:01 am

o-o

There is an explanation in an article I read but I am not learned at all in the area.

4:01 am

Lizlin

Just a quick hello :)

4:01 am

o-o

It is the vortex thing.

4:02 am

o-o

Hello, Lizlin

4:02 am

sprite

hi Liz :)

4:03 am

Lizlin

Hope you are both well today.

4:03 am

sprite

yeah, I read something about it too and it goes over my head. My main concern is, will the Netherlands disappear under the smeltwater. We probably will.

4:03 am

Lizlin

Hope it all went well when your DH met with the boss yesterday.

4:03 am

sprite

hi Liz, I am fine, hope the same for you!

4:03 am

Lizlin

Probably (hopefully) not in your life though.

4:04 am

Lizlin

Your e mail really made me smile :)

4:05 am

sprite

yeah, reasonably well, Liz. The colleague apologised, sort of, and came up with a load of excuses and reasons that are... debatable. Like being very busy... while only having 2 (!) clients atm. While he should have 8. Things smoothed over and not really resolved, I think.

4:05 am

o-o

Well is slippery would in my world. I am functional to a greater or lesser degrees each day.

4:06 am

sprite

hahaha yeah, that was me to the T, Liz. Almost cooked the salmon in soy milk.

4:06 am

Lizlin

Hmm! Well I guess an apology of sorts, is at least an apology. Let's hope that things stay settled!

4:06 am

o-o

word not would

4:06 am

Lizlin

Hope that today is a more functional day for you.

4:06 am

Lizlin

You might have discovered an excellent new flavour! My mistake!

4:07 am

o-o

How do you milk a soy?

4:07 am

sprite

no it is not your mistake, lol, I should have realised straight away. And yes, it might be tasty. But blander, I think, without the soy sauce.

4:08 am

Lizlin

Less salty definitely!

4:08 am

sprite

the art is in the approach, o-o. If you can manage not to startle it, the rest is a piece of cake.

4:08 am

Lizlin

Very true!

4:08 am

o-o

so, unstartled soy turns into cake?

4:09 am

Lizlin

lol

4:09 am

sprite

lol :)

4:10 am

sprite

seems to be a fine line to walk. Startle it enough not to turn into cake, and not so much you can't milk it at all.

4:10 am

Lizlin

Getting clever here!

4:11 am

rubyfoo

good morning everybody

4:11 am

Lizlin

Hi Ruby - hugs.

4:11 am

sprite

hi ruby :)

4:11 am

sprite

how did the meeting with the lawyer go?

4:12 am

Lizlin

Hope it went well - I'll read back - got to go. BBL. Hugs

4:13 am

sprite

bye for now, Liz *hugs*

4:14 am

rubyfoo

4:14 am

rubyfoo

4:14 am

rubyfoo

it is possible that we may have a solution, but it will require meetings with a notary, etc.

4:14 am

rubyfoo

will let you know

4:15 am

rubyfoo

and it's not the best solution, but will surely help

4:16 am

sprite

anything that approaches a solution is a big step forward. Will keep fingers crossed, ruby. Yes please let me know.

Morning, Crossy

6:23 am

Scrabbler

Good day to all.

6:25 am

crosshair

good morning scrabby

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Hello up there.

6:26 am

crosshair

lol.hello down there

6:28 am

crosshair

so excited. we have epic snowshoe conditions today:)) tons and tons of untouched powder on the mountain and going all the way up to the freezing mark today

6:28 am

crosshair

that will put it one or 2 degrees below freezing on the hill so things will not get sticky

6:29 am

Scrabbler

Wonderful! I will cross-country ski at a park near my friend's home. It is actually a golf course but their are groomed trails in a big loop.

6:30 am

crosshair

very nice:)))

6:31 am

lynxxx

not excited - we have 4 days of 100+ coming up - can I come over for a week?

6:31 am

Scrabbler

I prefer the wooded trails in the park here, but this other place is ok, and there is a lodge with a huge fireplace, so we can have lunch and read there.

6:31 am

Jayk

BTW, Crossy, I've been meaning to thank you NOT for getting me into yet another addiction: jigidi

6:31 am

Scrabbler

Come on over, lynxxx. You can play in the snow with me.

6:32 am

lynxxx

such a nice choice Scrabs

6:33 am

lynxxx

I saw a little girl the other day at the shops with her bunny on a harness (& lead) - very cute. Hope the rabbit was happy abouit it

6:34 am

Scrabbler

If bunnies are placed in a harness and lead from babyhood then they tolerate it. I could never get a bunny to tolerate it though.

6:34 am

Scrabbler

I ended up with a chewed up, shredded lead.

6:36 am

lynxxx

poor Stew - doesn't like the heat either - BBS

6:38 am

Scrabbler

100F is brutal. Do you have high humidity too?

6:41 am

crosshair

lol, no problem jayk:)))

6:43 am

crosshair

do not forget to check out my three new puzzles then , jayk. the mrs and I were on the hill yesterday taking some pics and they make amazing puzzles if I do say so myself:))

6:45 am

crosshair

and the wild turkeys were everywhere yesterday. found massive groups of them under apple trees in the orchards digging up ground apples for a snack

6:46 am

lynxxx

humidity - sometimes - not with this lot

6:47 am

lynxxx

wow - wild turkeys - didn't know they existed. They are destructive? or just good eating or are they protected

6:47 am

crosshair

I am sorry you are roasting lynx;(( with you were here with crossy:)) my classes are done at 1:30 then it is on with the snowshoes and hitting the woods for an hour or 3 then back home for home made soup and crusty bread slathered in creamery butter:)

6:48 am

crosshair

they are very good eating and you are allowed to hunt one per year - with a permit

6:48 am

Scrabbler

Yes, they exist. Not protected--are hunted. Sometimes I come upon a group of them in the woods and I scare them off. They are low-flying birds.

6:50 am

crosshair

years ago, Ontario made a trade with Kentucky. we gave them 50 breeding pair of our white tailed deer and they did same with their wild turkeys for us. was a good trade

6:51 am

crosshair

now in this area of the blue mountains, the wild turkey population is estimated at 10,000

6:52 am

lynxxx

was just reading up - apparently had to be re-introduced to areas where they had been hunted out. Must be slightly scary to come across a group of them in the wild - they are so big

6:53 am

Scrabbler

They are skittish and scurry or fly away quickly.

6:53 am

crosshair

it was great fun. they were so interested in digging up apples the mrs and I were withing 15 feet of them

6:54 am

crosshair

i have a few pics of them i will turn into puzzles for all of you

6:54 am

lynxxx

so I will expect a v. large picture of them on Jigidi?

6:54 am

lynxxx

snap

6:54 am

crosshair

yup. but do not forget to check out my other three new ones lynxx

6:55 am

crosshair

they are called mountain river,snowy fence and snowshoes required

6:55 am

lynxxx

A.lready looked - nice pictures - bit small for me - I am a sucker for punishment

6:56 am

crosshair

i settled at 330 but when i put up the wild turkeys ,i will make it a 450+ just for you lynxx

6:57 am

lynxxx

TY

6:57 am

crosshair

here,give me a sec and i will pop it in

6:57 am

lynxxx

6:59 am

crosshair

ok.it is up lynx. it is called wild turkeys and is a nice 475

7:00 am

o-o

You have a picture of bourbon for a puzzle?

7:00 am

crosshair

7:01 am

o-o

No, wild turkey is a bourbon brand name

7:01 am

lynxxx

nice Cross - and it will be hard with all those saplings TY

7:02 am

crosshair

3:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

lyn: tell us how you really feel. dont hold back. )

3:21 pm

cybernan

3:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

i must get in a nap andfiure out a light dinner. already had bacona nd egs for breakfast, usually have eggs when dancing

3:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

3:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

3:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

i do not like tofu but ai do have a recipe for a cheesecake using it that is supposed to fool all

3:24 pm

lynxxx

baked tofu cheesecake - now there is something to look forward to

3:24 pm

lynxxx

not!

3:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

since tofu is a great imposter, i imagine it would. the silken kind can be beaten and used instead of milk to make pudding.

3:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

hehehehe

3:24 pm

MollyL

*Not at all interested in tofu cheesecake or black bean brownies*

3:24 pm

wvteach

local middle eastern resturant has adish with spinach and tofu that i like - but don't taste the tofu

3:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

someday i will make one and put it into the pb. if we still have one.

3:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

lol molly how about black bean tofu choc chippers with carob?:P

3:25 pm

cybernan

I read an article the other day that asked "how many people do you know who regularly eat diet food and drink and have actually lost and kept off a lot of weight?" --- thought that was a good point!

3:26 pm

penquis

a dietitian told me that research shows that people who drink diet sodas have more trouble losing weight...

3:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

i do not see tofu and seitan as diet food. however, feather posted a very credible article on what passed for soy milk here and it is bad for you.

3:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

the mass produced soy milk takes shortcuts that the kind produced in japan does not.

3:27 pm

cybernan

yes - I think the key is how much you eat coupled with the combination of foods eaten and the amount of exercise you take. Apparently weight training is the most efficient method of toning up (after the weight loss, of course)

3:28 pm

cybernan

*I really must get around to looking into this further one of these days ;)

3:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

i espouse moderation. but there are a few things i will not eat. artifical sweetener is one. even truvia and stevia

3:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

margaine is another.

3:29 pm

MollyL

Ew...margarine

3:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

but i will place my leftoever crhistmas cookies in the pb for you all?

3:30 pm

cybernan

ditto -- returned to butter years ago and have been off the splenda for a month now -- not as hungry all the time since I went back to using sugar

3:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have eaten all the broken ones.

3:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

that is interesting, nan. the artifial stuff does not promote moderation.

3:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

just my opnion, nothing scientific.

3:32 pm

and done...bye all...have a nice evening

5:49 pm

MollyL

I need to re-vamp my icon to THE ISLAND OF DEAD PUNS

5:50 pm

rururocks

5:53 pm

MollyL

*We now return you to your regularly scheduled chat of asking for clues, ty and yw*

5:53 pm

Lizlin

Good morning all :)

5:54 pm

rururocks

hi liz

5:55 pm

Lizlin

Good to wake up to your puns, Ru ;)

5:55 pm

rururocks

I feel like Attila the Pun around here lately :D

5:55 pm

Lizlin

:)

5:56 pm

Lizlin

Too early for me to do more than appreciate puns at the mo!

5:58 pm

Lizlin

Always like coming back to a grid in the morning. Just found 10 words with no difficulty that I couldn't find last night!

5:59 pm

rururocks

fresh eyes.. sometimes it helps me to leave for a few minutes and come back too

5:59 pm

rururocks

especially the twisty ones

6:00 pm

Lizlin

I thought you finished yesterday - are you just here for the chat today?

6:00 pm

Lizlin

How are Dylan's allergies doing?

6:01 pm

rururocks

I did finish.. i'm just chatting and killing time before a doctor's appointment in a bit

6:01 pm

Lizlin

Ah! Waiting - always seems to take more time!!!

6:01 pm

rururocks

Dylan is on antibiotics.. he is dealing with skin issues. it's a drag

6:02 pm

uusue2

hi all!

6:02 pm

rururocks

there is a new allergy drug that we hope may help him that is just coming out

6:02 pm

Lizlin

Is it as hard to get him to swallow a tablet as it was with our dog?

6:02 pm

Lizlin

Hope that will help him.

6:02 pm

Lizlin

Hi Sue :)

6:03 pm

uusue2

hi liz and ruru!

6:03 pm

rururocks

I don't know.. I think it is a capsule .. Hi sue

6:03 pm

o-o

Hello, sue and Lizlin.

6:03 pm

Lizlin

Hi o-o

6:04 pm

MollyL

Pretty icon Sue, looks like a God's eye.

6:04 pm

uusue2

thanks, molly!

6:04 pm

rururocks

that's the peeping tom galaxy molly

6:04 pm

uusue2

and hi to molly and o-o!

6:05 pm

MollyL

Sue, how is the boy's eye doing?

6:06 pm

uusue2

better, molly, and the rest of him is pretty much healed

6:06 pm

uusue2

now I am dealing with the missing car keys

6:07 pm

Lizlin

Glad to hear that, Sue.

6:07 pm

rururocks

concussion symptoms have gone away?

6:07 pm

uusue2

pretty much, ruru, and he seems in good spirits

6:07 pm

uusue2

it's been about a week and a half now

6:09 pm

kje

is that center i all im?

6:09 pm

rururocks

I have lost things in bars.. but never my car keys

6:09 pm

uusue2

but the car has turned into a real nightmare - the keys have to be programmed to it, but it's old, and they had to get a new computer part (or something) for it, so that took an extra day; the latest is that they broke a dashboard panel while removing it, so now we're waiting for that

6:09 pm

Lizlin

Hi kje

6:09 pm

kje

hi

6:09 pm

rururocks

I think so kje

6:10 pm

uusue2

I think he lost the keys out on the road (he walked to the bar); his jacket pocket has a hole in it, thanks to his dog (that's the pocket he uses for the doggie treats)

6:10 pm

Lizlin

What a mess, Sue!

6:10 pm

uusue2

hi kje!

6:10 pm

uusue2

and the phone message said that they'd work with me on the cost of the new panel but it seems to me they should pay for it since they broke it

6:11 pm

rururocks

That's what I think too sue

6:11 pm

Dorens

hi all. ru (and anyone else who heard about my issues last night with student and mentally ill father), apparently the MD did call CPS yesterday… they 've now reopened the case came to the school today to interview the girl . Also the mom called me to discuss things that had bothered him about the meeting, and ended up agreeing with me that she might be anorexic and is worried that this could kill her, so she will try to convince him that they need to seek help.

6:11 pm

Lizlin

Definitely! How can that possibly be your responsibility?

6:11 pm

kje

ah... finally saw them!

6:11 pm

rururocks

that's great news Doren.. one small step

6:12 pm

uusue2

hi dorens - I missed the discussion last night but I hope they get help - anorexia is nothing to fool around with

6:12 pm

Dorens

unfortunately, the father is a controlling SOB and undiagnosed paranoid schiz

6:12 pm

uusue2

ugh, that sounds awful, dorens

6:13 pm

rururocks

is that common in New Jersey Doren?

6:14 pm

Lizlin

So stressful for you, Dorens.

6:14 pm

rururocks

you're the only sane person I've ever met from New Jersey :d

6:14 pm

Dorens

and CPS will do nothing… can't mandate therapy.. and this little chick needs residential treatment, intense therapy (She has been a selective mute since kindergarten) CPS only cares if she is being physically abused, which she is not

6:14 pm

MollyL

Sue, glad to hear the eye is better. Didn't know he had "rest of him" problems, but glad they are better too. Hope some lessons were learned.

6:14 pm

Dorens

and CPS will do nothing… can't mandate therapy.. and this little chick needs residential treatment, intense therapy (She has been a selective mute since kindergarten) CPS only cares if she is being physically abused, which she is not

6:14 pm

Dorens

hah ru! there are many who would question my sanity!

6:14 pm

uusue2

I hope so too, Molly - he also had a concussion and various bruises

6:15 pm

Dorens

hope he is doing better sue!

6:15 pm

uusue2

<--- also from New Jersey (but doesn't live there any more)

6:15 pm

Lizlin

I'd've thought that the origins of being selective mute would definitely concern CPS.

6:15 pm

rururocks

what was the big brouhaha with Gov Christie today or yesterday doren?

6:18 pm

MollyL

*Needs to work "brouhaha" into more conversations*

6:19 pm

rururocks

LOL

6:19 pm

rururocks

Love that word

6:20 pm

Lizlin

Memories of my teacher of French at school - often used the word!

6:21 pm

rururocks

I loved my french teacher a great lady

6:22 pm

Lizlin

He was an old guy - out of retirement, substituting for a term - so Victorian in many of his ways but a good and fun teacher.

6:24 pm

Dorens

oh, his people ordered the closing of some entrance lanes to the George Washington Bridge which caused huge problems back in September. Political payback to the mayor for not supporting him. SO at first Christie denied any involvement. then emails proved his Deputy chief of Staff and his appointments to the Port Authority and his campaign director (who was about to head the NJ Repubican committee) were all somewhat involved. Took him a day to have a press conference, which then lasted two hours! he apologized over and over, fired the folks who hadn't already resigned and repeatedly said it was very stupid.

6:24 pm

Lizlin

Fireworks!

6:25 pm

rururocks

I heard some woman died as a result of this as the ambulance couldn't get through the traffic?

6:25 pm

o-o

Congrats, Lizlin.

6:25 pm

rururocks

well done liz

6:25 pm

Lizlin

Thanks.

6:26 pm

Dorens

yay liz

it looks like there might be no way to tie this junk to Christie, much to my disappointment.
the woman was 91.. her daughter said it was probably her time. but still… the traffic was horrendous and it was unconscionable that this was done to "punish" the mayor of Fort Lee

6:26 pm

Lizlin

Hope you all have great evenings (and your Dr. appt. goes well Ru). BBL

6:26 pm

MollyL

So you already knew about the brouhaha. Sneaky devil.
: D

6:26 pm

rururocks

bye liz

6:27 pm

Dorens

ru knows everything

6:27 pm

rururocks

not really.. I heard there was a traffic jam.. and someone died as a result of it and christie was involved

6:28 pm

rururocks

didn't know much else. Christie is that vindictive?

6:28 pm

MollyL

Maybe we should start referring to them as Ruhahas.

6:28 pm

rururocks

LOLOL

6:29 pm

rururocks

sounds like a polynesian drink ruhaha

6:30 pm

MollyL

Dorens, As A Former Cps Worker, I'll Tell You That We Can Only Really Do Anything About Cases Where We Can Prove, In Court, That The Child Is Being Physically, EmotiOnally Or MedicallY abused. it Is A Nightmare To Go To Court And Try To Prove Things.

6:33 pm

rururocks

I stand by my belief that people shouldn't have kids without licenses and training to do so

6:34 pm

rururocks

and evaluations

6:35 pm

MollyL

The operative phrase there is "prove in court". It's sad that kids have to endure this kind of abuse due to the restraints of the legal system.

6:35 pm

8:34 pm

Bugsaw

I slipped and broke my ankle in November Min. It has now healed

8:34 pm

grannyrose

nice, bugs. slowly does it. are you able to go to hydrotherapy?

8:35 pm

Bugsaw

I don't know yet granny but it sure sounds like it would be soothing. There is still a lot of swelling.

8:35 pm

grannyrose

lol, bugs, i remember the first time i was allowed to stand up, i felt about 7 feet tall.

8:36 pm

Bugsaw

I have been walking on it for 2 days and the blisters are coming back ;( but I am still standing!

8:37 pm

grannyrose

the pool was what helped me the most. when you get in, work your way down to as deep as you can. the pressure under the water helps to reduce swelling.

8:37 pm

Bugsaw

the physiotherapists have lots of techniques they can use but I haven't had my first appointment yet

8:39 pm

grannyrose

oh, and i remember being amazed at the fact that all my callouses had gone. was your ankle in plaster?

8:40 pm

Bugsaw

luckily no. I have plastic thing that I could loosen when the swelling became too painful, but my foot is quite soft

8:40 pm

cosdem

greetings and saluations and all that crap :)

8:41 pm

Bugsaw

sending that crap back to ya cosdem ;)

8:41 pm

grannyrose

is it a camwalker boot. hard plastic splint type thing up to your knee, with velcro straps?

8:41 pm

Minveryork

Hello cosdem! How are you doing today? Welcome to grid

8:41 pm

grannyrose

heyya cos.

8:42 pm

Bugsaw

yes granny. some people called it a moon boot and others an air cast. I could never put air in the bladders because the cast was too small as it was

8:43 pm

grannyrose

lol, they make snow-shoes look like ballet slippers, don't they?

8:43 pm

Bugsaw

and they are so noisy with all that velcro

8:44 pm

grannyrose

lol, yes, and trying to slip it off quietly in the middle of the night, an impossible thing to do.

8:45 pm

Bugsaw

poor Mr Bugs didn't get much sleep either because the rubber on the bottom stuck to the sheets so I was trapped and had to kick the sheets up with my other foot, grab the headboard and flip my hips to roll over

8:45 pm

grannyrose

bugs, you're on your way now. i hope your recovery continues without any hiccups.

8:46 pm

Bugsaw

I sure hope so granny. I am concerned about the swelling and blisters

8:47 pm

grannyrose

roflol, so elegant too, poor don didn't get a lot of sleep either. he kept rolling over and coming into contact with something cold and hard in the bed.

8:48 pm

grannyrose

bugs, the swelling will go down, as you become more active. but it is important to elevate regularly, and ice-pack it.

8:48 pm

Bugsaw

elegance was not my middle name during this exercise! I am so happy that the bones mended well because that was biggest concern

8:49 pm

cosdem

help with the at7 please

8:49 pm

Bugsaw

ok, I will elevate it more again and the ice sounds like a good plan. THanks for the advice

8:49 pm

cosdem

sorry to interupt btw :)

8:50 pm

Bugsaw

no worries but I can't help, sorry

8:50 pm

grannyrose

cos, at + not off + t***, plural of mens neckwear

8:51 pm

Bugsaw

ty granny

8:52 pm

cosdem

ahhh i figured it was something like that thanks!

8:52 pm

grannyrose

np's cos

8:52 pm

grannyrose

glad to help, bugs.

8:53 pm

Bugsaw

you were off work for a long time granny. was it a foot thing for you?

8:54 pm

grannyrose

still am off,bugs. i had a revision total knee replacement last december.

8:55 pm

Bugsaw

oh, much more disruptive than what I did. you tried to go back to work didn't you? I remember you had some cranky bosses who didn't understand that it was too hard to start again with a full shift

8:58 pm

grannyrose

oh, that was in 2012, when i had my first total knee replacement done. i eventually went back to work, gradually increased my hours, was nearly back up to 10 hour shifts, when i slipped on a wet floor at work. i tore the stabilising tendon and have been waiting since last july for workcover to give their okay for the new sugery to be done.

8:58 pm

grannyrose

*surgery*

8:59 pm

Bugsaw

you must be kidding! that is horrible! the same knee?!

9:00 pm

grannyrose

yup, same knee.

9:00 pm

Bugsaw

oh my goodness!. I am SO sorry. i don't imagine you are in any hurry to get back to work and wet floors ever again.

9:02 pm

Bugsaw

the thing I was most gratefull for was that I did not have little kids and had finished working when I did mine

9:02 pm

grannyrose

lolol, so true, bugs. have had a gutful of pain and pain meds. my whole day revolves around when the meds are due. it's frustrating. i am virtually a prisoner in my own home. i can go nowhere without someone with me. i can't even drive the car.

9:03 pm

Bugsaw

that is why I am so excited. Tomorrow I try driving and then I will feel free again. I hate being so housebound!

9:04 pm

grannyrose

excited for you, bugs. i will live precariously through you for a while, you must tell how it goes.

9:04 pm

Bugsaw

my pain has never been too bad. I saved the super drugs for when I go to physio because I hear that sucks but is totally worth the agony

9:06 pm

Bugsaw

love the pun of living "precariously" thru me for a while. life is sure precarious all right

9:06 pm

grannyrose

i'm not going to lie to you, but at the same time i don''t want to put you off trying. yes, hun, it does hurt. but in the water it is so much easier to do the exercises, as the water helps take some of the weight off your ankle. please ask your physio about it.

9:08 pm

grannyrose

oh, and make sure you have someone with you on your first drive. just to be sure.

9:08 pm

Bugsaw

that sounds like a terrific idea granny. it could help me lose weight all over which would be a good plan too

9:09 pm

grannyrose

absolutely, bugs.

9:09 pm

Bugsaw

My son is coming for a visit tomorrow so I will go out with him the first time. I think he will be more forgiving than Mr Bugs

9:10 pm

grannyrose

lol, just tell him to shut his eyes and think of england.

9:11 pm

grannyrose

naughty granny

9:11 pm

Bugsaw

ROFL!!!! I just thot he would know to keep his lips zipped when I messed up better

9:13 pm

grannyrose

bugs, dear. i have to go. pain meds have kicked in, and i have a nagging canary who wants his cage cleaned. bless him! oh, good, you didn't take offence. sometimes my sense of humour goes overboard. not everyone appreciates what i say.

9:14 pm

Bugsaw

made me laugh right out loud. thanks for the pep talk and the advise. I should be getting ice soon too I think. Sleep well

9:15 pm

grannyrose

bugs, dear. grab my email addy from my profile. we chat further if you wish. byeee

9:15 pm

Bugsaw

will do. thanks

9:49 pm

cosdem

yep mab that is my thinking .. looking for a doc now actually

9:49 pm

mab

or maybe it's just youth.

9:49 pm

cosdem

my family has a history of thyroid.. but its the other kind..

9:49 pm

grannyrose

well i'm down to one meal/day. appetite abysmal. and i'm still putting weight on.

9:50 pm

Minveryork

I am trying to decide if I want to finish with 12 words left to find.The more I look for words,the more I want to give up. I really did not enjoy this grid at all today!

9:50 pm

mab

oh rose.... bet you will shed weight when rehab is in full swing.

9:50 pm

stidmama

oh dear, sorry about the appetite, GR -- is the weight from water though, or actual "mass" (trying to be delicate, and failing miserably)

9:50 pm

grannyrose

once all this stuff with the knee is over, am gonna have me a good chat with my GP

9:50 pm

cosdem

Weird. I like this grid min!

9:50 pm

stidmama

I am down to 73 now min, and slowing down a lot

9:51 pm

stidmama

I wonder what you can do to "exercise" with your arms while you aren't yet fully ambulatory, GR?

9:51 pm

grannyrose

stiddy it could be a fluid issue, i am eating so little. i just wanna get back to normal. *sigh*

9:52 pm

stidmama

Can your wonderful husband put together some sort of lovely grab bar you could play with doing a sort of "chin ups?"

9:52 pm

stidmama

I know when I use cane or crutches my arms get buff, AND it boosts my metabolism

9:53 pm

grannyrose

*giggle* i do have some hand weights i could use...at least that would to4 up the upper arms.

9:53 pm

stidmama

I ate so many pretzels this week, I craved salt! I think that's partly why I am a little bigger than I was... (hoping drinking a lot of water this weekend will flush that out!)

9:54 pm

stidmama

oh, nice! I used to have hand weights I would use toward spring to get my arms ready to lift sacks of manure and other fun garden stuff

9:54 pm

grannyrose

now i'll be quiet, and stop hogging chog. please forgive me. i feel like a prisoner at the moment. and you people are really my only contact, apart from church and don.

9:55 pm

mab

((((grannyrose))))

9:55 pm

mab

you never have to be quiet.

9:55 pm

stidmama

(((GR))) I will log into gmail if you like and we can chat there and share "war stories"

9:56 pm

grannyrose

lol, mab. can i have that in writing please, signed and dated.

9:56 pm

stidmama

Or we can stay here, and poo-poo to those who don't understand. *stern mama look at unsympathetic souls*

9:56 pm

stidmama

(signed by mab, at 9:55 in the chog -- official record)

9:56 pm

stidmama

(and seconded by stidmama at 9:56)

9:57 pm

grannyrose

okay, i'll stay. but please tell me to put a sock in it if i go overboard.

9:57 pm

stidmama

<grin> LOVE Robert's rules of order! LOL

9:57 pm

stidmama

*readies socks just in case*

9:57 pm

grannyrose

roflol...

9:58 pm

cosdem

Out of order. This meeting was never formally opened.

9:58 pm

stidmama

what is the short-term prognosis now? Are you ambulatory at all? I love that Bugs can start a little weight-bearing.

9:59 pm

lbdawger

I've never know you to hog the chog, Rose. and I third the motion to let you chat all you want

9:59 pm

stidmama

*rules cos out of order -- glares at room to silence murmurs of dissent*

9:59 pm

stidmama

hey LBD! :-D

9:59 pm

grannyrose

i made bugsaw lol earlier today. i really should be more careful when i am talking to someone i don't usually chog with. but she was great, and had a good chuckle.

9:59 pm

lbdawger

hiya stiddy

10:00 pm

stidmama

Bugs is a lovely person, GR - the two of you would get along beautifully if we could all get together.

10:00 pm

grannyrose

i'm walking with just the one crutch around the house. two crutches outside.

10:00 pm

lbdawger

argh, why is it the time flies just as I get to chatting? time to head for the pillows. hugs to all, see you tomorrow.

10:01 pm

stidmama

I so often wish for a magic cauldron that would provide things like free airfare to bring all my lovely friends together every few years.

10:01 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams LBD

10:01 pm

grannyrose

thanx dawg for your support also. hope you have sweet dreams, hun

10:01 pm

stidmama

nice, GR! That is impressive in such a short time

10:02 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye lbdawger!I will see you tomorrow in the chat log

10:02 pm

grannyrose

oh, and i can bend to 90 degrees, and straight leg lift foot about 12 inches off floor when sitting.

10:03 pm

stidmama

WOW!

10:03 pm

stidmama

I don't know if I can lift my own leg that far off!

10:04 pm

grannyrose

mind you, all that physio i did after the original surgery built up the thigh muscles quite a lot.

10:04 pm

stidmama

um. I suppose it would!

10:05 pm

stidmama

Hey -- how's the weather down there? full summer, I guess? Beautiful blue skies, pretty birds and insects, aromatic flowers?

10:05 pm

grannyrose

had some tatty remark on the tip of my tongue about don and my thigh muscles, but i wont go there.

10:05 pm

stidmama

I am really starting to look forward to our yard this summer. There are SO many things to take care of, and I am going to bring a friend of Grant's back from where she moved so she can help me "do stuff" and hang out with all her friends for a couple months.

10:06 pm

stidmama

*blushes on GR's behalf*

10:06 pm

grannyrose

over the last few days, yes. and my roses have been blooming marvellous. and the gladioli are about to flower. one is candy pink, with cream streaks and soft frilly petals.

10:07 pm

stidmama

oh, I ADORE glads! A friend I helped in high school (she was in her 70s then) had glads EVERYWHERE. And cosmos. The latter I grow easily, but glads get eaten or something.

10:08 pm

grannyrose

nice, stid, to be able to do that. hope her visit goes well. and thanx for the blush, i seem to have run out of them.

10:09 pm

stidmama

I think NEXT year I will sink some large planters in the ground and put glads in them so I can get the soil "just right" and prevent critters from getting at them

10:09 pm

stidmama

I seem to recall after my few hospital visits, that for a while I wasn't worried too much about blushing... you know that expression "let it all hang out?" rofl

10:09 pm

grannyrose

do you think it's bugs or a furry crittur doing it?

10:10 pm

grannyrose

lolol, oh yeah, know it well

10:11 pm

stidmama

I am thinking it's a combination of soil attrition (we have very acidic and clayey soils because of all the rain) and critters either bugs or furry (or both)

10:11 pm

cosdem

help with the first sa6 please!

10:11 pm

stidmama
