Greetings Friends

1:32 am

grannyrose

cooeee, from me

1:33 am

puglet

Hugs and Hi Rose--has everyone left alread

1:34 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} to my miz pugs. how are you and the sister doing?

1:34 am

grannyrose

dear, relatively easy grid....words just flow.

1:34 am

puglet

soon as I get rid of my headache--I will be fine and she is too----and you?

1:36 am

grannyrose

okay, trying to come down off the strong pain meds. successful thus far. have had only 2, instead of 4 by this time of the day. ugh, about your headache. i wish i could work out what causes it.

1:37 am

puglet

sleep is the only thing I know

1:37 am

grannyrose

ruru, you okay, mate? saw your run in with o-o. i do wish people would stop hurting each other.

1:38 am

puglet

so did it cool down as you had hope Rose

1:38 am

grannyrose

pugs, * delicate question coming* do you snore, that you are aware of? don't answer if here if you don't want to. email me instead.

1:39 am

puglet

not often Rose, but Ive been told I do at times

1:39 am

grannyrose

yes, pugs. thank goodness!!! only got to 85F today, humid but bearable.

1:40 am

puglet

Iam very quick to fall asleep though. When my aunt was alive and I stayed overnight with her, she said she had never seen someone fall asleep as quick as I did

1:40 am

grannyrose

because to me, it sounds like a hypoxia headache. when you snore, your breathing is not right, and you don't pull enough oxygen in. and that can cause an headache.

1:42 am

grannyrose

aha...typical of someone with a case of sleep apnoea. i was the same. then i had sleep studies done which proved i had severe sleep apnoea.

1:43 am

grannyrose

when don and i were first married he was astounded. i would fall asleep mid-sentence. it was very frustrating and worrying for him.

1:43 am

puglet

I hate to tell this, but I have fell asleep in the middle of my praying---I dont even feel sleepy but I will wake in a hour or 2

1:44 am

Nef

Hi again. I fell asleep at my keyboard and am heading to bed; but I bet I fall asleep faster than you pugs

1:44 am

puglet

so what can I do about it

1:44 am

grannyrose

okay, hun. you need a sleep study done. can you afford it? is it available on the public health system?

1:44 am

puglet

Hi nef -lol--night

1:44 am

grannyrose

lolol, nef. xoxox, and i hope you sleep well.

1:45 am

puglet

I dont know Rose. Have not heard about that around here

1:45 am

Nef

I agree with granny, get a sleep study. (My ability to fall asleep is due to narcolepsy, not sleep apnea)

1:45 am

grannyrose

pugs, talk to your GP about it. he/she will know what to do.

1:46 am

grannyrose

eek, nef. now that's scary, hun

1:46 am

puglet

Okay--but right now I dont have one

1:46 am

puglet

and this will stop the headaches

1:47 am

Nef

no, it isn't scary, granny. I've been on meds (Ritalin)since first diagnosed when I was 21.

1:48 am

Nef

pugs, my DH has sleep apnea. There are something like 60-70 different reasons for excessive sleepiness; you do need to find out why you have a problem

1:49 am

Nef

as granny said, if you have some types of sleep hypoxia, you can get bad headaches

1:49 am

grannyrose

pugs, the sleep study will show if you are having breathing problems while you sleep. then doctor will know what to do. you actually need a referral to an ENT specialist.

1:50 am

puglet

okay--when I can I will check into it

1:50 am

grannyrose

thanx nef, for backing what i have said. i found out that my sleep apnoea is from the brain, not obstructive.

1:51 am

puglet

thanks guys

1:51 am

grannyrose

i became suspicious when i had that feeling i was falling, even when i was awake. now that was scary.

1:51 am

Nef

is there a reason you don't have a primary doc right now, pugs? If you don't have one, and you're having this headache problem; find a good internal med. doc as your primary doc.

1:52 am

grannyrose

pugs, please forgive me if i nag you. it is so important.

1:52 am

puglet

I have no money for one or insurance for two

1:53 am

Nef

your sleep apnea made you feel like you were falling, granny? Wow!

1:53 am

grannyrose

which is why i asked if you had access to a public system of so4 sort

1:53 am

puglet

I know Rose--and you dont bother me at all

1:53 am

grannyrose

lol, nef, i would stop breathing when i was awake.

1:54 am

puglet

Iam not old enough Rose

1:54 am

Nef

Pugs, do you live in a state that has the Affordable Care Act (aka "obama care)?

1:54 am

puglet

I live in Indiana, Nef

1:54 am

grannyrose

over to you, nef. i don't understand the american healthcare system.

1:55 am

Nef

so, they aren't one of the states that refused it, are they?

1:55 am

puglet

If I get care right now, they will take my home

1:55 am

puglet

no I dont think so Nef

1:56 am

Nef

HUH??

1:56 am

puglet

to get state care you have to sign over what you own

1:57 am

grannyrose

nef, get puglet's email addy, will you please, hun. i can't help her with this. maybe you can.

1:57 am

Nef

You can go online and fill out the forms and see what they'd charge you. You don't necessary have to sign up

1:58 am

grannyrose

and then pugs you tell me...promise?

1:58 am

Nef

the Affordable Care Act is not medical assistance, pugs; check it out.

1:58 am

puglet

where online do I go? Heres my email--nncy96@copper.net

1:59 am

gapeach

Excuse me.....Pug, has something drastically changed recently? Because you could get Medicaid but you could own one home, have one car and have not over $4,000.00 in the bank. Please look into it.

1:59 am

puglet

okay Nef

2:00 am

grannyrose

nice, peach. everyone, please pitch in. this is so necessary.

2:00 am

puglet

Peach Iam not on state help

2:01 am

Lizlin

Hi all - just wanted to say hi - can't contribute to this conversation but hope you can sort something out, pugs.

2:01 am

puglet

I was a few years ago but once I paid off my place they dropped me saying I own too much

2:01 am

grannyrose

i just cannot bear that dear puglet has to wake up with an headache everyday. it just is not on!!

2:01 am

Nef

Pugs, my real name is Jenny; I'll send you info; but probably tomorrow since I need sleep

2:01 am

puglet

Hi Liz

2:01 am

grannyrose

xoxox liz

2:02 am

puglet

okay Nef, thank you

2:02 am

gapeach

Pug, I know of people who milk the system and get away with it. But it is for people who really need it.

2:02 am

Lizlin

Also unhappy about all the headaches pugs gets.

2:02 am

grannyrose

thanx nef. you are a real sweetheart.

2:04 am

puglet

Once the MD get ahold of me they may not let me go--lol

2:04 am

gapeach

Darn, hit the enter key.I haven't heard about any states that don't have Medicaid. This is something you and your sister need right now. You won't lose your home, honey. I don't know who you would talk with in Indiana, perhaps call a doctor's office and ask how to go about it.

2:04 am

Nef

srry, I gott to go to bed now.

2:05 am

puglet

My sister does have it, Peach

2:05 am

Lizlin

Sleep well Nef

2:05 am

puglet

night Nef, and thanks for the help

2:05 am

gapeach

Oh, pug, there is something called SSI that is money you may be eligible for (and your sister). Please check into it.

2:06 am

grannyrose

sleep well nef. and thanx

2:07 am

Lizlin

Don't want to interrupt the conversation and please feel free to carry on, but just wanted to check that all your family is safe, Rose.

2:07 am

puglet

Peach, that is what my sister is on--ssi and hubby has SS and medicare--but I cant get either yet

2:07 am

puglet

Peach, that is what my sister is on--ssi and hubby has SS and medicare--but I cant get either yet

2:08 am

puglet

My bh and I did get food stamps and he got medical help but once I paid off my place they dropped the food, and part of his medical help

2:10 am

gapeach

soni

2:11 am

puglet

Here Rose if you have life insurance or own property you have to sign it over to the state

2:11 am

gapeach

sorry

2:12 am

puglet

my sister cant have life insurance to be bury with, so I had to buy it and put it in my name so I can take care of that.

2:13 am

gapeach

Oh, pug, I just wish there was some way I could help you.

2:13 am

puglet

sorry Peach, I didnt even say hi to you

2:14 am

gapeach

That's ok, pug.

2:14 am

puglet

thanks Peach--I just got a few more years then I will be able to draw SS for myself

2:15 am

scouser

In the meanwhile puglet, consider 2 things: 1 physical allergy to something in your bedroom? allergy doesn't have to mean just itches and spots can manifest itself as headache or migraine. and 2: maybe you just are not comfy and need a different bed, or at least a new mattress?

2:15 am

grannyrose

for goodness sake!! pugs!!

2:16 am

grannyrose

heyya scouser!! how are you, hun?

scouser

hello grannyrose - am always up for looking at the environment instead of rushing to the medicine cabinet!

2:17 am

puglet

Hi Scouser, thanks for the help. I just got a new bed last summer. I have tried sleeping in my lazyboy chair and theres no different. If I sleep over three hours I wake with these darn headaches

2:17 am

grannyrose

which is why i am going the sleep disturbance route. maybe pugs needs a CPAP machine.

2:19 am

gapeach

I think Nef will be able to advise you as to whom you should contact.....there's got to be an anser here.

2:19 am

gapeach

answer.

2:20 am

scouser

Puglet - maybe like me you don't need as much sleep as others. For last 30 years I only sleep 4 to 5 hours at night and catnap sometimes in the evening. True, it is a benefit of being generally solo !

2:20 am

grannyrose

ta peach...i agree...there has to be an answer.

2:20 am

puglet

I dont feel tired nor sleepy, I just dont sleep much

2:21 am

grannyrose

and neither did i pugs. but could fall asleep at the drop of a hat.

2:22 am

puglet

but I do hate these headaches. Between the headaches and my hernia--thats really my only heath issues

2:22 am

gapeach

I just wish I could go to sleep before dawn. LOL

2:22 am

grannyrose

and we are gonna get them fixed, dear.

2:23 am

puglet

I dont do that Rose. Its only when I sit to relax and wham before I know it Iam out

2:23 am

scouser

there was interesting programme on radio the other day about how much sleep people need - especially teenagers evidently need lots more, and elderly far less, than the magic average of 8 hours. The trouble does come when you share sleep-space with someone who has opposite requirement to your own.

2:23 am

puglet

then we would miss you Peach :)

2:23 am

gapeach

Well, hell, why don't we contact our President? Don't know why I didn't think of that before.

2:24 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, peach. my first very unchristian reaction was...maybe you are part vampire...but you also must have a solution somewhere, dear

2:25 am

gapeach

LOLOLOL! Good one, rose.

2:25 am

scouser

anyhow fireworks here. byee all

2:25 am

gapeach

Congrats, scouser!!!!

2:25 am

grannyrose

2:28 am

puglet

Peach, are you getting nasty weather again? We are

2:29 am

grannyrose

yes, dear. it gave such a laugh.

2:29 am

puglet

I could see you saying something like that--lol

2:30 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, pugs. have i given the wrong impression? lol

2:31 am

grannyrose

or is my sense of hu5 sadly lacking...that i can laugh at it...

2:31 am

puglet

I was trying to find something funny to send Sprite cause shes got the flu and was down a little and I ran across that. No but remember awhile back you were talking about canes and crutches

2:32 am

gapeach

Pug, we are having a cold front now, windy but no rain in the forcast.

2:33 am

puglet

2:34 am

gapeach

Bundle up, pugs.

2:35 am

puglet

2:35 am

puglet

2:36 am

gapeach

Any neighbors that might be able to help you with the animals?

2:36 am

grannyrose

2:38 am

grannyrose

2:39 am

2:46 am

grannyrose

lololol

2:47 am

gapeach

Thanks much, joso.

2:47 am

joso

peach, are you fit enough to exercise?

2:49 am

grannyrose

pugs, once the furniture has gone, the curtains come down for washing/dry cleaning. then we move the furniture we want to keep into the 'dressing room' move our bedroom furniture in and move everything else into our new 'bedroom'. move the other furniture into our new loungeroom.

2:50 am

puglet

I keep seeing r4 and its making me want a huge,frosted mug of r4beer!

2:50 am

gapeach

No, joso. I have post-polio syndrome. Just trying to keep moving.

2:50 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, pugs

2:50 am

joso

I hope that is the royal we I hear moving all that furniture rose

2:51 am

puglet

who is going to move all that stuff? Surely not you! :(

2:51 am

joso

pity, I find excess exercise helps me sleep best.

2:51 am

grannyrose

lolol, joso...am gonna call in a lot of IOU's from sons.

2:52 am

joso

4:08 am

puglet

4:08 am

sprite

4:09 am

grannyrose

4:09 am

4:11 am

zoozzoom

Thanks everyone..i am sure she will be well again soon..Sorry to hear about your nasty flu, Sprite, soothing hugs to you to try and make you feel slighty better and a nice warm cup of hot chocolate (low cal one) for you too.

4:11 am

sprite

thanks darlings :) And how are you all today?

4:12 am

puglet

Iam fine and dandy now

4:12 am

grannyrose

sprite, have managed to halve the strong pain meds. so doing okay.

4:12 am

zoozzoom

I am feeling good thanks for asking :-)

4:12 am

sprite

oh that sounds very good, pug! Yay for you.

4:13 am

sprite

glad to hear it, zooz! *hugs*

4:13 am

sprite

rose, WOW! Good for you! That is a very good sign.

4:13 am

zoozzoom

Silly question here...does having the flu play havoc with your diabetes?

4:14 am

puglet

and Sprite, shes almost done with MIL's stuff too!

4:14 am

sprite

totally, zooz. Not silly at all. It goes up and down like a yoyo.

4:14 am

puglet

It can Zoom

4:14 am

sprite

better times ahead for you, rose!

4:14 am

grannyrose

zooz, no such thing as a silly question, mate

4:16 am

zoozzoom

I think Ruru has fallen asleep..lol

4:16 am

puglet

you also have to watch what kind of meds you take from over the counter for diabetics too--or I do on sister

4:16 am

sprite

lol

4:17 am

sprite

indeed, pug. I don't take anything except paracetamol for the pain and fever.

4:17 am

puglet

I dont know what he was talking about on the counting thing, do you Rose cause it was tented towards you

4:17 am

zoozzoom

I hate paracetamol..the tablets are way too big.

4:18 am

sprite

usually don't have trouble with pills. My painkillers and sugar meds are twice as big. But yesterday one paracetamol stuck in my throat. That was not funny, blech.

4:19 am

zoozzoom

Have you had any flooding where you are, Sprite? been widespread over here.

4:20 am

sprite

no, so far so good, zooz. Are you ok?

4:20 am

puglet

I seen on the news yesterday that someone is coming out with a eye contact for diabetics to wear that will tell the sugar levels without using needles or machion. Wont that be something! I dont know when it will be available but it sure will beat all those pricks with the needle

4:20 am

zoozzoom

Yes i hate that too, zsprite then you have to get a bit of bread or something..chew on it and swallow and hope it takes the tablet down with it..lol

4:20 am

sprite

wow, indeed pug, and what a smart idea.

4:20 am

zoozzoom

Yes i am ok..a few houses near me have flooded..but i am slightly higher up.

4:21 am

zoozzoom

Oh that was on our news too, Puglet!

4:21 am

puglet

seem like the sugar will be tested through the tears some how

4:21 am

sprite

lol yes zooz, that is what my husband said too. He has trouble swallowing pills as well. He was kinda teasing me... that finally I knew what it was like to have trouble swallowing. And I said he should count himself lucky I usually didn't :)

4:21 am

sprite

makes sense, pug, also a body fluid.

4:21 am

puglet

I know my sister would love that!

4:22 am

grannyrose

pugs, he was in the middle of an altercation with another babbler.

4:23 am

puglet

oh, Rose--I didnt mean to pry but I didnt know what he was talking about and felt bad no one answered him

4:23 am

zoozzoom

I normally gag when i try and take tablets now..due to when i tried to OD a few years back...but i can take smaller tablets now..just not those brick sized paracetemols..lol

4:24 am

zoozzoom

Oh i did not know that either, Rose, oops

4:24 am

puglet

Zoom, I hope you dont try that again!

4:24 am

sprite

*hugs zooz* Am so so happy you are still with us, dear man.

4:24 am

puglet

yeah me too! Zoom

4:25 am

grannyrose

it's all okay, zooz and pugs. ruru rises above it each ti4.

4:25 am

zoozzoom

Yes i am so much beter now..i can even talk about it and even laugh at the silly things i tried to do to end it all..so glad it all back fired...just a cry for help i feel..as the attempts seem half hearted thank goodness..lol

4:27 am

puglet

I have done that before myself Zoom and now and then have thought on those lines but I know its not the answer.

4:27 am

zoozzoom

There has been a few arguments going off on babble latley i have noticed...just been keping well out of them.

4:28 am

zoozzoom

Glad you know that is not the answer to ((Puglet))

4:28 am

joso

re all

4:28 am

grannyrose

ditto both of you...the only thing which stopped me each ti4, was the knowledge that one of my kids would find me.

4:28 am

sprite

that was babble at its best, zooz... and yes, maybe a cry for help... but one has to be pretty desperate to do it and it was no sinecure. Very glad you had the courage to climb back on.

4:28 am

zoozzoom

Hello ,Joso :-)

4:28 am

sprite

hi joso *hugs*

4:28 am

zoozzoom

((Rose))

4:29 am

puglet

re hi Sir Joso

4:29 am

grannyrose

g'day sir joso. nice to have your presence...lolo9l

4:29 am

sprite

I know it would kill my husband and children if I did... that is what kept me here a couple of years ago. Right now, I feel much stronger and more positive and don't think of it anymore.

4:29 am

puglet

see, we are all important to each other

4:30 am

grannyrose

absolutely sprite. all our loves are intertwined.

4:30 am

puglet

I can stand the thought of what would happen to my sister or animals

4:30 am

joso

seems to be a fairly frequent line of thought

4:31 am

puglet

(cant)

4:31 am

sprite

we are, pug and rose. We all need eachother, one way or the other.

4:31 am

puglet

you too Joso

4:31 am

joso

almost suprising mankind survives

4:31 am

grannyrose

see??? we all have some one or thing dependent on us...their lives would be broken without us.

4:31 am

sprite

they'd be helpless without you, pug. And we can't do without you either. Nor you, rose. Or any of you.

4:31 am

sprite

it is, joso

4:32 am

joso

yes pug, kind of seriously toyed with the idea when my true love left

4:32 am

zoozzoom

wow i am suprised that so many of us have had similar thoughts of badness...glad we all have come through thiose dark horrible times..and i know there are a few more babblers out there who have felt the same way too..so (( too them too.hugs))

4:33 am

sprite

*hugs joso* you are very important to us, dear man. So glad you are still with us.

4:33 am

zoozzoom

Geez my typing just does not get any better.lol

4:33 am

grannyrose

we will never know, zooz. but us few, we know, and can cling to one another in the knowledge we are understood.

4:34 am

sprite

indeed, zooz. A *hug* to all those wrestling with staying alive. It can be a helluva battle.

4:34 am

puglet

but thank God we are all still here and we all can help each others--Babble seems like a life line more so and more so for us all

4:34 am

joso

never acted on it beyond talking to a couple of people, want to see a doctor hop, tell him about suicidal thoughts

sprite

much more important than fighting over stuff in chog. Let's celebrate our diversity, be there for eachother and not dwell on the differences.

4:35 am

sprite

wow joso, that is so good! You are wise.

4:35 am

grannyrose

hear, hear sprite

4:36 am

puglet

maybe those reacting in anger cant reach out like us

4:37 am

grannyrose

and now i have don...my love and my mainstay...i give thanx everyday for him.

4:37 am

sprite

oh I can get angry too, no doubt about it.

4:37 am

puglet

not you Sprite! lol

4:37 am

grannyrose

pugs, anger is so much an irrational emotion.

4:37 am

joso

got great service at the doc's office after that, was bumped to the head of the que for a couple of years after that

4:38 am

sprite

awesome, joso. Glad you got adequate help, but that is partly thanks to your adequate way of asking for help. Very well done.

4:39 am

zoozzoom

Same here, Sprite..i even i can get very angry to..i even killed a chocolate bar yesterday by biting it to death...how mean am i..donjt mess with me when i am hungry...i mean angry :-)

4:39 am

sprite

pug, trust me. I once slammed the receiver of the telephone on the table a couple of times to make my father-in-law listen :)

4:39 am

sprite

lolol zooz... you should take on a bar of your own size :)

4:39 am

joso

not sure it was the best idea, apparently I narrowly avoided being bundled off to the booby hatch.

4:40 am

grannyrose

LOLOL, zooz...if it wasn't for the nausea i would join you

4:40 am

sprite

oops, joso. Well, it worked out pretty well, thank God.

4:40 am

zoozzoom

Good to hear you got some help, Joso, it is important to just say to youralef i need help here..i can not do this on my own..so good on you for that.

4:40 am

puglet

ahh Rose---your poor tummy

4:42 am

zoozzoom

Oh, Rose, didnot knjow youe were feeling sick :-(

4:42 am

grannyrose

but joso!!! you would look so well in a booby hatch...or body hutch...or ....

4:42 am

zoozzoom

What on earth has happened to my typing today..geez

4:43 am

sprite

joso would look good in anything... or in nothing... hmmmmm *drags mind back out of gutter*

4:43 am

grannyrose

zooz, the pain and pain meds make me feel ill. appetite down to one meal/day.

4:43 am

sprite

we can still follow you perfectly, zooz, don't worry

4:43 am

grannyrose

roflol, sprite....

4:44 am

zoozzoom

That sounds just like my mother too, Rose, she just can not eat anything at the moment.

4:44 am

sprite

pain is a bitch, rose, I know. So are pain meds. And so is changing dose and frequency of them. Hang in there, please take it slowly with building down.

4:44 am

joso

tnx rose, but fortunately they don't make strait jackests big enough for me

4:44 am

puglet

I have no trouble with reading writing like that cause thats how one of my sister writes(but much worse)lol

4:45 am

grannyrose

4:45 am

zoozzoom

hahaha you do make me laugh, Joso..you were kidding ..right??..teehee

4:45 am

sprite

very wise, rose.

4:45 am

joso

;)

4:46 am

sprite

nothing that will keep you down, joso :)

4:46 am

sprite

4:46 am

joso

I'm sure once you get to play in the pool alot of your other issues will start to fade rose

4:46 am

puglet

Joso, I seen a pic of you and you are not that big

4:48 am

zoozzoom

4:49 am

sprite

lol zooz, and you wouldn't have believed it possible, right?

4:49 am

grannyrose

4:49 am

puglet

4:49 am

sprite

4:51 am

sprite

4:52 am

grannyrose

sprite

roflol zooz

4:53 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, so do i...and benny hill is running all over the place...

4:54 am

joso

it always wraped with a comic chase scene with speeded up filming, very keystone cops, but more chauvistic

4:54 am

sprite

oh, LOL

4:54 am

grannyrose

yessss

4:57 am

zoozzoom

Are you ok there, Puglet, or have you snuck off to get a coffee :-)

5:08 am

puglet

5:08 am

sprite

5:08 am

puglet

I know dear, but your health is important

5:09 am

sprite

5:09 am

puglet

I was trying to find something funny to send you yesterday and ran across that cartoon I sent you. Hope you didnt mind it

5:10 am

sprite

no of course I didn't mind, lol. LOVED it. So funny.

5:10 am

puglet

I just was hoping to make you feel a little better

5:10 am

sprite

it did, hun. I have an evil sense of humour, you know it.

5:11 am

puglet

Iam glad it gave you a laugh then--soon as I seen it, I thought of Rose

5:12 am

sprite

lol yes, indeed. I have even worse pictures in my collection... will send you a couple for a laugh later today, ok?

5:13 am

puglet

okay--lol

5:14 am

puglet

OO, hasent been on this morning or in lurking---hope hes okay. Worries me he has no one to look in on him

5:14 am

sprite

not a bad grid today. I even found biggies without much trouble.

5:15 am

sprite

have a little faith in him though, pug. He has weathered many many years and came out on top.

5:15 am

puglet

I have found 2 on my own, but been talking too much and got on late too--but Iam pass half way though

5:16 am

puglet

I know, but you hear all the time how elderly are not found

5:16 am

sprite

good job, pug

5:17 am

puglet

Ruru's old goat meat is in the grid today--lol

5:17 am

sprite

lol yes

5:18 am

Alleyn58

Ro7 must be obvious but just can't see it! Help ....

5:19 am

sprite

hi Alleyn, expand the flower

5:19 am

puglet

part of the plant thats underground Alley

5:20 am

puglet

Sprite do ;you have all the 8's

5:20 am

sprite

or: grannyro** *** her dinner.

5:21 am

sprite

yes pug

5:21 am

puglet

do they all have the same ending

5:21 am

sprite

all but one, I think, let me check

5:21 am

Alleyn58

Thx. Flower no underground!

5:22 am

sprite

no, pug clued the ro8, Alleyn, not the 7 :)

5:22 am

sprite

ho, mo, ro, ru: all same ending

5:22 am

puglet

thank you

5:23 am

sprite

te8: sort of a compound. It is a gambling spintop.

5:23 am

jwr

really, Enable! You know what outies are: they're the opposite of innies. How else can one describe one's bellybutton?

5:24 am

sprite

jwr, all too tr4. Enable is so random.

5:25 am

sprite

want more of a clue for the te8, pug?

5:25 am

puglet

pleasse

5:25 am

jwr

Ah, in the Netherlands too! Hi sprite, always comforting to see you.

5:26 am

sprite

first 3: used in golf, or spell out the letter T.
the rest: as the native american animal pole, change last vowel.

5:26 am

sprite

aw, that is a very nice thing to say, jwr. Thank you.

5:27 am

puglet

got it, thanks

5:27 am

sprite

yay pug :)

5:28 am

sprite

fireflies. Anything else I may help with before I go?

5:29 am

puglet

no thanks! hugs and bye and take care of yourself

5:30 am

sprite

and you do the same, pug. *hugs*
Bye all, I hope you will have a blessed day and a peaceful evening.

Anniebrook

5:35 am

Uneaixoise

morning, all -- got up super early to watch Nadal v Monfils live from Australia :-)

5:36 am

puglet

Hi une

5:36 am

Anniebrook

Hi Une! You are a true fan. Go Nadal, go!

5:38 am

Anniebrook

Une, this is calendar is the best yet. I save them all. The pictures are wonderful.

5:38 am

Uneaixoise

glad you like it -- my daughter agrees! LOL

5:40 am

Uneaixoise

will definitely use pics of last week's very pregnant mamas (and their babies just days after transport) in 2015 calendar :-)

5:42 am

Anniebrook

did someone adopt the mother and the pups?

5:45 am

Uneaixoise

right now the 2 moms and pups are with long-term fosters

5:46 am

Anniebrook

oh okay..as long as they are not in state or city kennels.

5:46 am

Uneaixoise

pups are only a week old -- will stay with moms till weaned

5:47 am

Uneaixoise

and it's Rafa in 3 sets! woohoo!!

5:47 am

puglet

Une, are these some of those that was tooken from that mini van?

5:48 am

Uneaixoise

nooooo

5:50 am

Uneaixoise

rescued from shelter in TX

5:50 am

Uneaixoise

2-day transport to wonderful fosters in Minnesota

5:50 am

puglet

oh, did you see all those rescued from that van

5:51 am

Uneaixoise

heard about it . . .

5:52 am

puglet

do you make the whole drive or are there others meeting you too extend the trip for them

5:55 am

Uneaixoise

lots and lots of drivers volunteer for a leg or 2 -- a leg is around 65 miles -- it's a chain of drivers -- the coordinators are amazing

5:57 am

Anniebrook

and this can be cross country, if needed?

5:58 am

puglet

thats so wonderful that you all can save so many animals, Une

5:58 am

Uneaixoise

yes! often from southern states to New England -- sometimes to Canada

5:59 am

Anniebrook

wonderful folks doing wonderful work

5:59 am

crosshair

good morning everyone:)

5:59 am

Anniebrook

6:16 am

Uneaixoise

hey liz :-)

6:16 am

puglet

re hi Liz

6:17 am

Uneaixoise

back in a mo . . .

6:17 am

Lizlin

Hi again Pugs - also Annie and Une

6:17 am

Lizlin

Sorry I missed sprite - I see she's got flu! Poor thing :(

6:18 am

puglet

shes feeling pretty yucky

6:18 am

puglet

How are you Liz

6:19 am

Lizlin

Perhaps I'll catch her tomorrow. I'm fine thanks. Sorry that i didn't chat earlier - really couldn't contribute anything useful - so much advice (all good) coming at you!

6:20 am

Lizlin

Has your headache eased?

6:20 am

puglet

I hope you didnt feel left out Liz--didnt mean for that to happen

6:21 am

puglet

yes, thanks

6:21 am

Anniebrook

phantom--monsoon

6:21 am

Lizlin

Of course I didn't - the chat was relevant and important.

6:22 am

Lizlin

I hope that you can find a way to get things to work for you. The medical system sounds horrendous!

6:22 am

puglet

thanks Liz

6:23 am

puglet

have you had a chance to work Jillibus puzzle of her bust

6:23 am

Lizlin

Yes, I did it this morning - fantastic. What a talented lady! I left her a message after i completed her puzzle.

6:24 am

Anniebrook

I must do that puzzle later. Jilli has many talents. Fabulous lady.

6:24 am

Lizlin

I agree.

6:24 am

puglet

Iam almost done with it---just got the blue to do----I know---its a beautiful piece of work

6:26 am

puglet

do you have puzzles on there too Annie

6:27 am

Lizlin

I'm really enjoying the puzzles on there - so many different types.

6:28 am

Anniebrook

no, I dont..but am happy to do others puzzles. I wouldn't know how to put a puzzle on jigidi.

6:28 am

puglet

I know--too many--lol

6:28 am

Lizlin

Did you know I have a few puzzles on there, Annie?

6:29 am

Anniebrook

Liz, no I didn't..will look for them.

6:29 am

puglet

I cant remember all the babblers that has puzzles on there

6:30 am

Anniebrook

crossy and sprite have puzzles there. sprite's name is spritelet on that site.

6:30 am

puglet

have you added new ones Liz

6:30 am

Lizlin

jbp too.

6:31 am

Lizlin

Not yet, pugs. I will soon if I think of something worth putting up. Perhaps some more birds.

6:31 am

puglet

I really like the ice one

6:33 am

puglet

I seen a puzzle on there the other day of 2 pieces--dont understand the reason of that

6:33 am

Lizlin

Thanks - well, I'll have a look tomorrow if I have time and see what I can find! Do you like them more when it's one picture or when it's lots of them put together?

6:33 am

puglet

either way Liz

6:33 am

Lizlin

2 pieces! How weird!

6:34 am

Anniebrook

Is there any way to get a picture of the puzzle to work off of it or do you have to do the puzzle from memory?

6:34 am

puglet

I know! nice pic too

6:35 am

Lizlin

I have to admit that I use our laptop for the picture. I worked the first few by colour and shape and pausing regularly so I could look at the picture in another window.

6:36 am

puglet

I will let Liz answer if she wants--she writes better in explaining

6:36 am

Lizlin

I also asked sprite the same question.

6:36 am

Lizlin

You could've explained it just as well, pugs.

6:37 am

Anniebrook

Liz, are you saying you have the picture on the laptop and you work the puzzle on another computer?

6:37 am

Lizlin

Yes, Annie.

6:37 am

MollyL

Why not just open the picture in another tab?

6:37 am

puglet

only way I found is by clicking the arrow and it bringing on the pic of the puzzle

6:37 am

Lizlin

But before my hubby suggested using the laptop, I opened 2 jigidi window and minimised one and kept flipping between the 2 to see the picture. Much slower that way.

6:38 am

Anniebrook

LOL, well then, I have to buy a laptop. Really, I wish I could afford one.

6:38 am

Lizlin

Just what I did Molly but I still prefer actually being able to see the picture, while I work.

6:38 am

Anniebrook

HI Molly

6:38 am

MollyL

Print one out?

6:39 am

puglet

Hi Molly

6:39 am

Lizlin

I also still prefer having a real jigsaw on the table.

6:39 am

Anniebrook

I printed one out but the picture was not clear at all

6:39 am

MollyL

Good morning everyone.

6:39 am

Lizlin

It depends on the resolution of the picture.

6:39 am

Anniebrook

but I will print one out again just for the colors, at least.

6:39 am

Lizlin

Good morning to you, too.

6:40 am

Lizlin

Opening a 2nd tab is probably a good idea too.

6:40 am

MollyL

I agree Liz. There is something about the satisfaction of feeling the pieces click together.

6:40 am

Anniebrook

Yes, it is

6:40 am

Lizlin

Also in jigidi, the pieces are all the correct way up, which I guess takes a bit of the fun out of it!

6:40 am

Anniebrook

How do you open a second tab? (asked by a computer-illiterate)

6:41 am

Lizlin

If Molly has a windows computer, it's better if she explains. Mine's a mac and might be a bit different, though the principle's the same.

6:42 am

Lizlin

Just minimise the first jigidi tab and through your browser open jigidi again.

6:43 am

Lizlin

Does that make sense to you?

6:43 am

Anniebrook

Liz, I wrote down what you said and will try it. Yes, it makes sense. Thanks!

6:43 am

rubyfoo

this is like reading Greek or some other unknow language!

6:43 am

MimiCat

Another terrific jigsaw puzzle site is "TheJigsawPuzzles.com. They have some great categories. I'm now working on Castles and, wow, how beautiful these MANY castles are.

6:43 am

rubyfoo

But hello everyone, it's grappa girl reporting

6:43 am

Lizlin

Hi Ruby - hugs.

6:44 am

Lizlin

Hi Mimi too - hugs.

6:44 am

rubyfoo

6:44 am

Anniebrook

((ruby)) you understand how I feel.

6:44 am

rubyfoo

hi mimi

6:44 am

Anniebrook

hi, mimi

6:44 am

puglet

Hi Ruby and Mimi

6:44 am

MimiCat

((Liz)) So good to see you here!

6:44 am

MimiCat

((ruby))

6:44 am

rubyfoo

((annie)) I'm too old for all this and without enough time to add another additiction

6:45 am

Lizlin

Thanks - I've missed a lot of people recently - been on a different times or something!

6:45 am

MimiCat

Hi, pug! Were you the one who told me about The Jigsaw Puzzles.com? Great site.

6:45 am

puglet

I dont think so

6:46 am

Anniebrook

ruby dear, I asked my friend Barbara what a browser was and she almost clonked me. Yes, it is like Urdu.

6:46 am

MimiCat

Hi, Annie!

6:46 am

Lizlin

Looks like a good site mimi - mind you I've got so many puzzles bookmarked on jigidi! I think they'll keep me going for quite a while.

6:47 am

Lizlin

That's funny, Annie. I guess being in teaching meant I had to become reasonable on a computer though it the 5 years since I've not taught, technology has moved on even further.

6:47 am

rubyfoo

you can imagine what it's like when my son visits. He acts like I'm an idiot!

6:48 am

puglet

later dear friends, need to go--hugs and bye

6:48 am

MimiCat

Liz, I just found this other site to have more variety in the types of puzzles I like. Yesterday I put together the Disneyland Castle all lit up for Christmas--gorgeous.

6:48 am

Anniebrook

bye, puglet, have a peaceful day

6:48 am

Lizlin

See you tomorrow Pugs - I won't be here much longer either - need to cool down!

6:48 am

MimiCat

Bye, pug!

6:48 am

rubyfoo

6:49 am

MimiCat

Liz, I got a digital camera so will be taking pictures of my new balcony tropical oasis...will post them for you.

6:49 am

Lizlin

I'll look forward to that. Is the balcony finished now?

6:50 am

MollyL

Annie, in Windows there are tabs at the top of your screen. Like file folder tabs. Just click on the small one to the right, and that opens a new tab.

6:50 am

Lizlin

Perhaps turn one of your pics into a jigsaw, Mimi.

6:50 am

Lizlin

Thanks Molly :)

6:50 am

MimiCat

It's mostly finished. Just a couple of little things to do. I'm SO enjoying it..and so are the cats. Perfect weather here---75 degrees and beautiful.

6:51 am

MimiCat

Liz, I did create 3 puzzles in jigidi using icons I've used here in the past...same name as here.

6:51 am

Anniebrook

Molly, what do I click on to open a new tab? File? and then what do I click on to get a new tab? What the heck is a tab? (Im not really this dumb, I hope)

6:51 am

Lizlin

Sounds lovely - like a warm winter's day here! Today it was 30 C here but it's a bit humid tonight. At least we didn't have the heatwave that Melbourne did.

6:52 am

Lizlin

I'll have a look tomorrow, mimi.

6:52 am

ivesy3

ho 8/45 plz

6:52 am

MimiCat

ROFL, Annie! I know just what you mean...I only started using computers a few years ago myself...still learning.

6:53 am

MollyL

At the top of your screen, there are tabs, like file folder tabs. The one you have open now says "Babble: The Ultimate Word Game". Next to that, is another small blank tab. Click on that tab to open it.

6:53 am

o-o

holler the mostest

6:53 am

Lizlin

Just looked mimi - says you haven't created any! Have you published them for open use - or something similar. it was a question on the page when I created a jigsaw.

6:53 am

ivesy3

ty

6:53 am

Lizlin

Hi o-o

6:54 am

MimiCat

Maybe not, Liz---I'll take a look later and try to correct it. Give me a day or so since I'm working today. Nothing is easy in life, right?

6:54 am

Molly, Im on Babble Expert but when I am on windows then I will probably see what you are saying. Thanks. I am going to ask a stupid question. Is tab short for tablet? Oy, I cant stand being so ignorant

6:55 am

Lizlin

Think it stands for tabulate.

6:55 am

Lizlin

lol mimi

6:55 am

MimiCat

Molly, don't know about Annie but I don't have any blank tabs next to the ones I now have open. Couldn't she just go to the search engine and open another one through that?

6:55 am

Anniebrook

thanks Liz

6:56 am

Anniebrook

If my grandsons were here, I would be an expert by now. Kids are amazing on the computer.

6:56 am

Lizlin

Hope you work it out, Annie. I'll catch you all again soon. Heading for an air conditioned room for a while. Enjoy your days everyone.

6:56 am

Anniebrook

Bye, Liz, stay cool.

I once asked my grandson Jack a question and his fingers flew so fast across the board and then he said, "see, Grandma Anne..get what I did"? Huh!

6:58 am

Anniebrook

Igive up..I will be content but will bombard Molly with questions now and then. Thanks for the help, Molly.

6:58 am

MimiCat

Annie, when I first started learning just how to get emails going, my daughter got so frustrated with me that she said "Mom, I'm not going to help you anymore unless you promise me you won't right-click...every time you do, you get into trouble." So, I stopped right-clicking. Then took a job where I HAD to right-click (after all, it IS a VERY important tool) and the first time I had to I was so scared.

6:59 am

Anniebrook

LOL, Mimi

annie, when my son tries to help me, he goes so fast \I can't follow. The only one who can help me is the gardener, and he goes slooooowly

7:00 am

MimiCat

I don't know how my kids seemed to be born with computer knowledge since I was the one who gave birth to them.....

7:00 am

Anniebrook

The new generation has a "computer" in their DNA

7:01 am

MimiCat

For me, it was a matter of that light bulb in my head that finally illuminated and once I understood the functions better, it all clicked in my head (no pun intended). But I'd still like to take a few computer courses.

7:01 am

7:02 am

The blank tab is a little blank box next to the tab that says "Babble: The Ultimate Word Game"

7:02 am

MimiCat

I'm very bad with mechanical things...lucky I can use the toaster.

7:03 am

rubyfoo

I'm good at mechanical things, but the computer isn't mechanical

7:03 am

Anniebrook

not on babble expert, will look for it on windows

7:03 am

rubyfoo

I can fix a lamp but can't move photographs

7:04 am

Anniebrook

So I am not alone!

7:04 am

Anniebrook

I can change a typewriter ribbon. Anyone remember that?

7:05 am

rubyfoo

hahah, annie, remember Royal manual typewriters\?

7:05 am

MimiCat

Molly, I swear I don't have a blank tab there...am I missing something? We should have to pay you for your help, Molly!

7:06 am

Anniebrook

I had a
Smith-Corona as a teenager. I cherished that typewriter.

7:06 am

MimiCat

OMG, yes, I remember those all too well, ruby...and the ones that had different space allowances for different letters---awful. Loved the Selectrics, though.

7:07 am

rubyfoo

in high school, we had to learn touch-typing on Royals with blank keys

7:07 am

MimiCat

Hey, you know how you can tell if someone has a blonde as a secretary? By the white-out on the computer screen.

7:07 am

Anniebrook

I wish I still had that Smith-Corona.

7:07 am

MollyL

Here is a screen shot. The grey box is the blank tab.

7:08 am

that was a great one, Molly

7:08 am

Anniebrook

I also had a Selectric but when we moved I gave it away.

7:09 am

MimiCat

Don't have the gray box, Molly, but just realized I can open a new tab by just choosing the + sign at the right.

7:10 am

MollyL

Your tabs are all the way at the top of your screen. On the same line as your red X that you use to close out is. Mimi you must be using Internet Exploder.

7:11 am

MimiCat

Nope, using Firefox. My tabs are beneath the File, Edit, etc. options.

7:12 am

o-o

in firefox, the tab box has a + in it

7:12 am

MimiCat

I always have many tabs open...have 19 right now.

7:12 am

MollyL

Ah, okay. I haven't been in Firefox in a long time.

7:13 am

MimiCat

I'm not crazy about Firefox these days---it malfunctions A LOT. What are you using, Molly? Chrome?

7:14 am

MimiCat

I have Explorer already loaded and use it to connect to the remote computers for work.

7:18 am

MollyL

Yes, I use Google Chrome.

7:19 am

MimiCat

What are the advantages to Chrome, Molly?

7:21 am

MollyL

It's faster and better at blocking pop-ups.

7:21 am

gwenski

Hi! Google Chrome loads faster on my (older) computer then Internet Explorer.

7:23 am

MimiCat

I'll have to try it again. Firefox keeps not letting me load search items...get an error message. Very frustrating. But Explorer does the same thing sometimes. Will see if I can get used to Chrome if it's better and faster. Thanks.

Hi Guys

Hi Judi and hego

9:31 am

hego

Flu in Frisco, sounds bad.

9:32 am

Scrabbler

There are big bad germs out there that can kill kids, especially the most vulnerable kids.

9:32 am

Judi

I never knew pertussis could be fatal.

9:32 am

hego

aren't kids getting their dpt's?

9:33 am

hego

I infants Judi, yes.

9:33 am

Judi

Wow. A friend of ours is down with the flu right now. Then again, she always gets sick. I think she has an immunity problem.

9:33 am

Scrabbler

Yes, but babies need 3 (by age 6 mo) to get almost full immunity, so they are vulnerable prior to that. And, of course, we see parents that refuse vaccinations.

9:34 am

hego

Drives me crazy.

9:34 am

Scrabbler

Make her take vitamin D, Judi.

She has a doc appointment for Monday. I feel bad that she doesn't have health insurance.

9:36 am

hego

Have heard there is a psychological aspect sometimes.

9:36 am

Scrabbler

Not washing hands before touching face, exposure to germs (kids), low vit D, ...

9:36 am

Scrabbler

Depression can impair immune system

9:36 am

Judi

She has her own house cleaning business. And she works as a waitress on the weekends. I think she just gets so run down, the germs make a bee line for her.

9:37 am

hego

Lot of exposure there too.

9:37 am

Judi

She does suffer from bouts of depression too.

9:38 am

Scrabbler

Depression can be secondary to low vit D. Make her take at least 5000 IU/day. I take 6000 IU/day in the winter.

9:38 am

Judi

Reminds me, yet again, that I haven't gotten my flu shot yet. Perhaps I will go to the pharmacy today and get it.

11:11 am

i'm going to make some rice and milk pudding later today... i found a recipe online that looks good, but do any of you have any experience making something like this? if anyone else has a recipe or advice i am all ears :)

11:14 am

Jillyjill

My Grandma used to make it, but I don't have her recipe and no advice...sorry rows

11:15 am

Rows

it's okay :) i'm just excited to try it... a coworker of mine gave me some that she made last week and it was delicious... i'd ask her for the recipe, but it would be all in Spanish and that kind of daunts me

11:21 am

do you mean rice pudding, rows?

11:21 am

periwinkle

I have not made it in a long time

11:22 am

periwinkle

ty for the te8, odd word

11:23 am

periwinkle

I used my new humidifier last night and I had to get up 5-8 times to pee. Along with the coughing I hardly got any sleep.

11:23 am

Jillyjill

Sorry peri...interupted sleep is the worst

11:23 am

stidmama

Rows, try this recipe: http://tinyurl.com/q53geok

11:24 am

Rows

and yes, rice pudding... it's rice and milk and you put vanilla and cinnamon and whatever else in it

11:24 am

periwinkle

does anyone else have that problem when using a humidifier?

11:24 am

stidmama

using cinnamon is so common with Spanish-inspired American dishes (not familiar enough with continental Spanish flavors!)

11:24 am

Rows

yes, arroz con leche! that's what it is :)

11:24 am

stidmama

peri, when did you last clean the humidifier?

11:24 am

Rows

ty stid :)

11:25 am

we used to eat arroz con leche when I was child

Jillyjill

Medically, not sure how humidifier would affect bladder

11:25 am

periwinkle

I just bought it and used it for the first time last night. HOw often do I have to clean it? I know I have to replace the filter often.

11:25 am

Rows

hmm, heavy cream isn't something i can get here... i'll have to improvise on that big

11:25 am

periwinkle

moist cool air made the room cooler. I don't know. I did not drink much fluid before going to bed.

Hi Rows,

11:26 am

Rows

bit

11:26 am

periwinkle

humidifier may turn out to be more trouble than it is worth. we will see

11:26 am

zas

I see you're from Honduras.

11:26 am

Rows

yeah i live here

11:26 am

stidmama

humidifiers are perfect environments for growing mold, which might explain the coughing. Also, since the air is moister, you don't need to drink as many liquids to be well hydrated (we always experienced the opposite, needing to drink A LOT more when visiting my grandparents in dry climates)

11:26 am

Rows

i'm not *from* here, but i live in Honduras

11:26 am

zas

How are things there since the election?What's the status with the Libre Party and Xiomara?

11:27 am

periwinkle

great, mold I do not need

11:27 am

stidmama

I would follow the instructions on the humidifier for cleaning. We once bought one that was "new" but turned out to have been returned to the store. It was already damp and nasty when we got it.

11:27 am

periwinkle

should I empty the water out during the day when I am not using it?

11:27 am

stidmama

now my dream accessory for decades has been a DE-humidfier... but we never managed to find one that worked that we could afford.

11:28 am

Jillyjill

Well, halfway through, nbt/nbs...off to clean house!

11:28 am

Rows

i'm not really in the loop on politics, as a foreigner here... but during the elections i know there were fears of rioting and violence, and everything in Copan and Gracias at least seemed calm, which was nice

11:28 am

stidmama

I would definitely have it dry out between uses, yes.

11:28 am

periwinkle

my sister has one of those in the basement that seems to be working well

11:28 am

it was fairly obvious that Orlando would win, though

11:28 am

stidmama

have a lovely weekend, jilly

11:28 am

periwinkle

brb

11:29 am

Rows

so Gracias was happy about the win, but of course it was a bit nerve wracking cos we didn't know if people from outside Gracias would come in and do things here because they are angry

11:30 am

Rows

(Gracias is Orlando's hometown, and where i live)

11:30 am

zas

I never got to Gracias but I really liked Copan, the bird sanctuary and the ruins.

11:30 am

Rows

yeah the ruins are amazing. i was there during the election weekend, that's why i was mentioning it

11:31 am

Rows

Gracias is cute and quaint... quite small and historical

11:31 am

Rows

where are you from, zas?

11:31 am

zas

I spent a week at the language school there. They do one-on-one teaching. It was awesome

Hi again, kiddos! Reading back in chat about humidifiers. We've always had one. I have to have at least 50% humidity in the house or I start getting nose bleeds. We put a capful of bleach in the water every week or so. That keeps the mold from spawning.

well, this is underhanded as hell but the total truth and as one who is about to embark on a sodium reduced diet , I was shocked that the Canadian and u.s food inspectors green light this practice. http://tinyurl.com/64jbszq

2:49 pm

ch1212

crossy, I agree. We always look at the labels and make sure there are no additives, no extra hormones, no salt injections, etc. Certified organic, locally sourced is best.

2:50 pm

Hi crossy. It is shocking that this is done! I agree that organic chicken is the way to go....

2:52 pm

i was totally unaware of this practice till recently

On a related note, I join in the throngs of well wishers who extend sympathies for your reduced bacon diet... but glad you are taking care of your health.

2:53 pm

crosshair

i am not totally cut off of bacon but it is been severely cut back

2:53 pm

Nef

What?? Crossy will be skipping the bacon from now on?

2:54 pm

ch1212

Did the doctor at least allow you to gradually step down, or give you a bacon patch to ease the withdrawal?

2:54 pm

crosshair

i am allowed a gradual step down

2:55 pm

crosshair

for example make mrs dash a part of my table condiments

2:55 pm

crosshair

and buy the 50% salt reduced bacon

2:56 pm

ch1212

Oh, that's better. Because of my beloved's need for less sodium, we have discovered a world of herbs, meat rubs, and seasonings. He really doesn't miss it now.

2:56 pm

Nef

Crossy, I'm sorry your sodium is being restricted so much. Mrs. Dash comes in many flavors these days though, so maybe you will find some good flavors there

2:57 pm

MollyL

Once you start watching your sodium intake, you discover the insane amounts of salt in processed food.

very true, Molly.

I've always followed a low salt diet (since I started working in CVICU, 39+ years ago; and I found some seasonings that I recommended to my patients all the time back then (it's a local company)

2:59 pm

Nef... do tell, please.

2:59 pm

Kamanjah

Crossy, thanks for posting that info. I just checked the chicken I have in the fridge, and it says "non-pumped" on the label and there is no ingredient list. Geez, one has to watch everything so carefully these days! I've been on restricted salt for over 20 years and so many foods hubby brings home are so salty I can barely stand them!

I go to the State Fair every year and buy about 3 or 4 sets of their seasonings. There aren't any extra chemicals in them; and they are for cooking. I've bought their salt substitute also but I like the seasonings best

3:05 pm

Nef

yw. I really think sodium is addictive, so we try not to use it much at all. Eating out at restaurants can sometimes make us very thirsty due to the salt.

That's why I make my own soups

3:08 pm

me too, bichon. (home made soups just fast so much better than anything else

3:08 pm

Well, unless you're eating the soup I tried to make a few days ago ... then it's definitely 'fast' ;)

Soup is really creative, but I don't care for creamed soups

3:12 pm

I don't care for the creamed tomato soups, but I love mo4 every other type

3:13 pm

bichon

I don't like tomato soup by itself, but it's okay in another type of soup.

3:16 pm

The only time I make tomato soup is if we are having grilled cheese for lunch. There is something about that flavor combination.

3:16 pm

that is a good combo, Molly.

I used to make bean soup for DH's Aunty. I'd make a huge 2 gallon batch and then package it all up in single serving seals bags so she could just put a pouch in a pot of water and heat and eat. I haven't made bean soup since she passed away... :-(

Beloved made a succulent, savory beef stew last night. Uses chopped onions, carrots, 3 cups red wine, and a bunch of herbs - cooked for hours. Thick, rich, delicious.

3:20 pm

I always make huge pots of soup and then freeze it in the sealed bags. It makes a quick meal when you're pressed for time

5:07 pm

it's a full fry up of eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes and mushrooms. Black pudding is a Northern British favourite and they do include that.

5:08 pm

Bugs, have you ever tried black/white pudding?

5:09 pm

Bugsaw

ah no, thank you very much. I can't do head cheese, oysters, clams .... any of those things with that texture of snot does not go down

5:10 pm

Bugsaw

I can eat cooked liver but still don't look forward to it

5:10 pm

Jaxx, my son is living in London. Whenever he comes home, he has to take back at least 10 white puddings... And at least 20 bottles of poteen, for the ex-pats!

5:10 pm

I love black pudding but the ingredients aren't the best. I take it white pudding is what we call Hog's pudding which is similar to the black but without the blood.

5:11 pm

I'm with Bugsaw on liver. I am the same with any offal. To me it smells of its function.

Interesting. I'd always associate 'Guys' with everybody-male & female. Fellas, I'd always assume were males. In this part of the world, the all-encompassing word is 'lads'. 'Lads' are everybody. Grannies, grandpas, newborns & everybody in between.

But yes, also understand your concern.

5:59 pm

it annoys me what we can get on planes now and what we can't.i hate the 'itlle suitcases' that apparently are hand luggage!!

6:00 pm

Lizlin

Amazing the size bags people get away with as hand luggage on domestic flights from our airport!

6:00 pm

lilliann

hi liz and gwen

6:01 pm

Lizlin

And why do some airlines allow you to take a bottle of water on board and others don't?

6:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

two words: security theater

6:02 pm

lilliann

we can take water on board any airline from GB but we have to buy it at the airport liz. any water or pop bottles are taken from us at customs

6:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

and my new phantom is duotone

6:03 pm

Lizlin

Here I can take a bottle of water on board brought from home - in Singapore I can only take an empty bottle on board and ask for it to be filled.

6:03 pm

Soodle

Ha! You've never flown Ryanair then, Liz! If your bag is half a milimetre over their specs, they will fleece you for about €50 or €60! Shysters!

6:04 pm

Lizlin

I know all about Ryanair - weren't there plans to also charge if you wanted to use the loo?

6:05 pm

Soodle

Yup! And they were considering charging passengers according to their body weight.

6:05 pm

Lizlin

I'd forgotten that!

6:06 pm

Lizlin

Easijet were similar I think!

6:06 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the airline should just sell tickets with no dates, then you go the the airport and wait until there's anought people there to fill up the plane, then you vote on where you want to go. HA HA HA

6:07 pm

lilliann

aye, soodle's right, the cheap airlines will charge you for everything, but it still annoys me that people take small suitcases which are allowed by the airlines as hand lugggage and when people try to put them in the overhead lockers they nearly knock you out putting them in and getting past you when you're sat in your seat!!That is my hubby's and mt biggest gripe travelling

6:07 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(that would completely foil all hijackers)

6:07 pm

Lizlin

Confused? Well yes!!!

6:08 pm

lilliann

there are airlines that will charge bigger people two seats as they don't fit into one.i saw that on airline us once

6:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

frankly, if i could afford a plane ticket i would be happy for all the effing abuse. (joke!)

6:08 pm

Lizlin

Not wanting to offend any Canadians, but the worst airline I've travelled with recently was Air Canada. The staff were not at all helpful to some of the older people trying to gett heir hand luggage into the lockers.

6:09 pm

Lizlin

It really contrasted with the staff when we got back to Australia and many of the same people transferred onto a domestic flight. Smiles and helpfulness all around.

6:11 pm

lilliann

to be quite honest, liz, some of the "hand luggage" weighs more than a big suitcase!

6:11 pm

Lizlin

True - I can better understand regulating hand luggage by weight - though of course, space is also an issue.

Air Canada is considered a joke is Canada

6:12 pm

Lizlin

But they need to readjust their thinking (some airlines are) because now so many people are carrying computers and heavier cameras and other electronics that they don't want to store in the hold.

6:12 pm

lilliann

but because it is smaller, it passes as hand luggage but it never get weighs and it takes most of the overhead locker up which is why i get annoyed

6:12 pm

Lizlin

I thought so Saani - didn't think I was treading on too many toes!

6:13 pm

Lizlin

Ooops! Sorry!

6:13 pm

saanichcat

Nonewhatsoever (except the stakeholders)

6:13 pm

Soodle

I remember when I was at school. The absolute highest that we were expected to aspire to was to be an air hostess with Aer Lingus. Forget about science, medicine, the arts etc. a trolley dolly was the pinnacle of sucess!

6:14 pm

Lizlin

Especially for the boys!

6:15 pm

Soodle

Rofl! Liz 😃😃😃

6:15 pm

lilliann

i think they do too liz, as many people are getting away with paying for weight!

6:15 pm

Lizlin

Phew! Suddenly realised that could've sounded offensive!

6:16 pm

lilliann

really soodle?

6:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well, the flight attendant does get plenty of free miles, don't he/she

6:17 pm

Lizlin

I remember thinking as a kid that being an air hostess sounded so glam - get to see the world!

6:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

or maybe not, dunno . . .

6:18 pm

Lizlin

Yes but my friend's son is a trolley dolly with BA - but he is pretty fed up with it and doesn't seem to have got much benefit from the air miles.

6:19 pm

lilliann

when i was at school, the careers advice we were always told, army, nurses and air hostesses :)

6:19 pm

Lizlin

Though his mum got a trip to the Caribbean out of it!

6:19 pm

Lizlin

I was always told be a teacher, even at uni, when I swore blind I didn't want to teach, just to get them to suggest something else!

6:20 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i got almost no career advice at school, and when i visited the little office where they help you find a job they pretty much said fast food or nothing

6:20 pm

lilliann

cat infront of computor doesn't help!! :)

6:20 pm

Lizlin

Cat wants to join in conversation.

6:21 pm

lilliann

aye, and her job would be fish taster! :)

6:21 pm

Lizlin

lol

6:21 pm

lilliann

really book? that's terrible!

6:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i agree! i don't have much good to say about the public schools in the suburb i grew up

6:22 pm

Lizlin

Afraid I don't have much respect for career advisors at school and uni - I think they have set goals or maybe sponsors, and that's it.

6:22 pm

lilliann

well, atleast you proved them wrong gwen :)

6:22 pm

saanichcat

Gwen, they used to tell the really smart girls they might try becoming a secretay...

6:23 pm

Lizlin

That's what my mum was told and she wasn't allowed to go to uni or college - I know she always regretted that.

6:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

no, i didn't prove them wrong i worked in fast food 8.5 years before getting into book business. but still, sheesh

6:24 pm

Lizlin

At least you got out of it into something you enjoy.

6:24 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ask me anything about pizza and i will tell you all the secrets LOL

6:24 pm

saanichcat

I think that attitue towards women is awful. And it still seems to persist

6:25 pm

lilliann

but you doing something you love so eh, it doesn't matter how you got there..you did :)

6:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yep, i am doing what i love, no thanks to the tweezerheads at school LOL

6:26 pm

saanichcat

Gwen did you have a bookstore. or publish etc

6:27 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

done it all: self published, published by "real" publisher, book doctor (editor), bookstore manager (real store), online bookdealer (out of my tiny apartment)

6:28 pm

saanichcat

WOW!!!

6:28 pm

Lizlin

Do you specialise in any genre or just general?

6:28 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

wait, i haven't been published in ebook yet 8-)

6:28 pm

lilliann

at the end of the day we all have to go to school and learn what they teach, and we learn some things from it and some from life after we've left.it is up to us after we leave what we do.i learn't more from getting a job when i was 16 than i did from school and the job helped me grow up quicker and learn more about life

6:29 pm

lilliann

ditto liz gwen

6:29 pm

Lizlin

Well said lilli - as a teacher I got more and more frustrated by what I was expected to teach at primary level, rather than what I (and many others) thought would be useful for the kids.

6:30 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

http://tinyurl.com/2qqmxx (one of my proudest moments, this article published in a tiny online bookdealer journal, sort of an ebook, but not a book)

6:31 pm

Lizlin

Interesting, Gwen. I've put it in my browser to read later.

6:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

it's an old article, but the issues it describes are ongoing

6:34 pm

Lizlin

Ok 15 left - ti4 to go and start the domestic stuff! Yawn! Have a good evening all and thanks for the chat. BBL.

6:34 pm

lilliann

i think with school liz, every child in primary is treated the same, as in year classes but not alla re on the same level, but saying that i was a governor in a primary school and would help the 'best in class read and the weakest ones, but there was never any help for the bairns in between and i was told that the best could be violin players, actors, etc and the weakest needed help, and i argued that time and time again saying that the middle ones could be better with help, and the weakest ones could do better with more help

6:35 pm

saanichcat

great artice Gwen! I marked it to reread in depth, learned a lot, Thanks

6:36 pm

Lizlin

True, liili - I regretted the loss of nature walks and similar stuff and just learning about the world around them. Became so much more difficult to react impulsively to the mood of the class.

6:36 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

you're very welcome, saanichcat!

6:36 pm

Lizlin

But I really do have to go now.

6:36 pm

lilliann

i've writen it down gwen and will read it later

6:36 pm

lilliann

bfn liz, i only have 1 word so will still be here later :)

6:38 pm

lilliann

are you going to do books for e readers gwen?

6:40 pm

Lizlin

Good article, Gwen - thanks :)

6:45 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i'm working on a bunch of manuscripts right now and hiope to do them all as ebooks as well as PODs (that's print on demand)

6:45 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

thanks, lizlin!

6:50 pm

lilliann

sadly i must admit that i buy more books for my tablet than paperbacks, but i have arthritis and weak wrists and find holding books in bed more difficult that holding my tablet.so i'm looking forward to reading your stories on my tablet

6:51 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

no stories, per se, i'm strictly nonfiction 8-)

6:52 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

but one of my ideas, half-written, is a short piece on why the beatles are such a big deal -- for people who think the beatles aren't

6:53 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

which is still nonfiction, but is popular culture, a much broader audience than most of my stuff

6:54 pm

penquis

i just signed up for a free online course about the Beatles at coursera.org...

6:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello, peeps

6:54 pm

lilliann

i actually prefer non-fiction books gwen but i do read non aswell

6:57 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

cool, penquis! i make no claims for originality for my book, only claims for conciseness 8-)

6:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well, i have grayed out everything except the middle row. my grid loks like a mayo sandwich on pumpernickel

7:01 pm

lilliann

i just went on to yahoo, to look up your website Gwen and a news article grabbed my attention.apparently haribo will stop selling some of their liquorice sweets in Sweden and Denmarkbecause they have been called racist.they are apparently in the shape of ethinic masks from African,Asian and Native American art.we've just come back from a African island which sells thier masks for tourists to buy so i don't see why it would be racist.liquorice is always black and apparently they have sold this for years

7:03 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

that's something that if daniel tosh hears about it i bet he will feature it on his show

7:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

my website is on my profile, no need to use a search engine 8-)

7:04 pm

lilliann

daniel tosh?

7:05 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well,l he's an american, does a tv show on basic cable (i think) so you maybe never seen him. once in a while he does a bit called "Is It Racist?"

7:06 pm

lilliann

oh ok

7:06 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

but him main focus is on running funny video clips he finds on the web, and doing sick jokes about them

7:07 pm

lilliann

sometimes i think thinks are blown out of all proportions and we are too much the health and safety,racist and sueing world now

7:07 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

http://tosh.comedycentral.com/ there he is

7:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the candy might not be racist so much as the packaging, the advertising, or something like that

7:09 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

like, what was her name, the tv chef who said something racist, and instead of apologizing, acted like what she said was perfectly okay

7:10 pm

rururocks

paula dean

7:11 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yeah, her. ugh. LOL

7:12 pm

rururocks

there goes that empire

7:12 pm

lilliann

apparently it is just the Scandinavian countries that don't like it and they also banned tin books from 1 out of 10 libraries

7:12 pm

lilliann

hi ru :)

7:13 pm

rururocks

unless Chika-fila needs a consultant

7:13 pm

rururocks

hi lillian

7:13 pm

7:13 pm

rururocks

nice to have you back around

7:13 pm

lilliann

7:14 pm

rururocks

*bleat*

7:14 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

is tin tin racist, or something like that? (admit I'm not too familiar with them, even though we had some at my store back in the day)

7:14 pm

rururocks

Rin Tin TIn is a racist?.. what to other dogs?

7:14 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

then again, i never though jar jar was racist, just effing annoying LO)L

7:15 pm

rururocks

did he offend a bichon or something?

7:16 pm

lilliann

i think it was to do with the 'el congo' one, where there was a black man

7:16 pm

rururocks

or worse yet a poodle?

7:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well, dumping on racist celebrities is one thing, but banning books is something all together different and i'm agin it

7:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

UNO

7:19 pm

lilliann

i just think we are too over the top now on all sorts of subjects and making more of them than what there is! but as i said it is a sueing world now, sadly

7:20 pm

rururocks

i agree

7:20 pm

lilliann

Yay!! wtg gwen!! :)

7:20 pm

rururocks

i'm in favor of banning Danielle Steele books however

7:20 pm

lilliann

cheers!! :D

7:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i was proud to work for a bookstore owner who believed as fiercely as i do about selling "offensive" books right along with "tame" ones

7:21 pm

rururocks

fierce and Librarian don't go together :D

7:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

we sold Mein Kampf and the Anarchist Cookbook, for example, books which you can't find in a lot of other stores, or public libraries

7:22 pm

rururocks

edgy

7:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

librarians seem timid but if you try to take away their books, you'll get a reaction all right LOL

7:22 pm

rururocks

:D

7:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hands off the huckleberry finn! LOL

7:24 pm

rururocks

time to make dinner.. see you later..

7:25 pm

lilliann

i think we should all be able to choose what we read or buy without being taken to court over it.there is a place and time for everything and as long as certain things aren't pushed into peoples' faces then so what, but now if you sneeze in the wrong place you get sued for spreading germs...it's got way beyond normal!

7:26 pm

lilliann

enjoy ru :)

7:27 pm

lilliann

i want to read the anarchist cook book

7:28 pm

lilliann

am diving in so others can chat :)

7:29 pm

anawaltgal

soory if I offend anyone.....but....seems to me you can only do or not do what people fight for.....whether they are right or not. I don't push my beliefs on anyone, but I have a right to them. BTW I have high standards and I think great beliefs, I hope when my life ends that people remember me for holding true to my beliefs while loving all.

7:30 pm

8:07 pm

lilliann

sue, i'm so glad he is doing well but sorry about his dental work, i know he doesn't like dentists, but hey, after everything he's been through, it should be a doddle.give him hugs from me :D

8:07 pm

uusue2

will do, thanks lilli!

8:08 pm

uusue2

and you are right, he hates the dentist, and didn't go for at least 10 years, hence all the work needed

8:09 pm

lilliann

well, as soon as soon as you're settled int he house stid i expect to see your lovely garden

8:13 pm

lilliann

who doesn't sue?. i'm the same as frank. i had a bad dentist about 20 years ago and didn't go for years and now have less teeth and have to grin and bare it when i go, but i did it for the bairn when she was younger so i could get her to see a dentist.i miss my old dentist from a couple of years ago but i can't go as it is not wheelchair friendly and hubby not about to get me up the stairs in my chair so the bairn and i go to a more commercial one which is basically get loads in and out...money orientated!! and i hate it so does the bairn

8:14 pm

lilliann

ty harry

8:14 pm

uusue2

we were able to find a good dentist for him - he is gentle and has a lot of different painkillers he can use, including gas, so that is good - it's going to be a few months of going every week, though, to get it all sorted out

8:15 pm

lilliann

just read back, i'm a bit slow tonight!! lol peach

8:16 pm

gapeach

It's OK to be slow, lilliann.

8:17 pm

lilliann

once he gets used to him sue, he'll be fine. i was like that with my old one and i miss him and don't feel so relaxed with the new one but saying that now we don't see the same dentist as it is a practice so i never know who we will see, which is what i don't like.our old dentist knew everything about us and me not being comfortable with dentists and he always asked me how i was doing.i miss him, and that's saying alot for a dentist..lol

8:18 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

8:18 pm

gapeach

Hey there, jmc.

8:19 pm

jmcnrick

here just for a few minutes. . .

8:19 pm

lilliann

hi jmc

8:19 pm

uusue2

he's ok while he's there, but his mouth is sensitive and hurts for many days afterwards; that's the part he really doesn't like, and there doesn't seem to be much to do for it. He has painkillers to take but they only do so much.

8:19 pm

uusue2

hi jmc!

8:19 pm

penquis

hi

8:21 pm

lilliann

aww,that's a shame sue.i can understand why he doesn't like going then.is there nothing that will help the pain...something herbal maybe? clove oil?

8:21 pm

lilliann

hi pen :)

8:21 pm

jmcnrick

very warm drinks. . .

8:21 pm

penquis

hi... :o)

8:22 pm

jmcnrick

nbt

8:22 pm

uusue2

haven't tried herbal things; with the celiac disease he has to be so careful

8:22 pm

jmcnrick

hi pen.. . i just got here too so thought you were replying to me. . .

8:22 pm

jmcnrick

warm brandy especially ;-)

8:22 pm

uusue2

and he's on a couple of medications now, for ADD and depression, so he can't have as much single malt as he might like :-)

8:22 pm

penquis

i was...

8:23 pm

jmcnrick

haha i guess i am confused as usual. . . *waves*

8:24 pm

lilliann

oh, i don't know much about celiac disease so don't know whether clove oil is good or not, i just know it's good for tooth ache

8:24 pm

jmcnrick

oh poor thing.. . . well still warm drinks help. . .and cold ones if he is not sensitive to cold after the dentist. . .

8:24 pm

uusue2

warm would be better than cold, I think. I may suggest a bit of single malt anyway.

8:25 pm

jmcnrick

clove oil is good. . . cloves have no gluten

8:25 pm

MollyL

Single malt: Cure all for everything

8:26 pm

jmcnrick

well if he warms it he will get more bang for the bucks. . .

8:26 pm

jmcnrick

i will stick to Jack thank you!

8:26 pm

uusue2

there you go :-)

8:26 pm

jmcnrick

at my work they have already figured out I like jack

9:59 pm

lilliann

or port

9:59 pm

lilliann

can you explain the difference to me then please

10:02 pm

joso

port is a fortified wine

10:02 pm

penquis

hey joso...long time no see...

10:02 pm

joso

10:04 pm

penquis

glad to see you back, joso...

10:04 pm

joso

nice to be here

10:05 pm

lilliann

so what is the difference between a fortified wine and wine, or spirit?

10:05 pm

rururocks

V

10:06 pm

rururocks

Wine just has natural alcohol based on its sugars and fermentation

10:06 pm

Dorens

fireworks . i'm in love. new puppy today for my grandkids….so sweet and snuggly

10:07 pm

joso

during fermentation they add a neutral favor brandy to it to halt fermentation, keeping it sweeter and upping the alcohol content

10:07 pm

rururocks

Fortified wines have added neutral spirits or brandy

10:07 pm

rururocks

Spirits are distilled at higher proofs

10:07 pm

lilliann

Yay!!wtg dorens :)

10:07 pm

penquis

I like the story of brandy more, originally was supposed to like OJ from concentrate, distill, transport, add water then sell. but when it arrived they said this is fine, why water it down.
