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
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.
2:00 am
grannyrose
nice, peach. everyone, please pitch in. this is so necessary.
2:00 am

2:01 am

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

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

Also unhappy about all the headaches pugs gets.
2:02 am

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

night Nef, and thanks for the help
2:05 am

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
2:11 am
puglet
Here Rose if you have life insurance or own property you have to sign it over to the state
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?
2:16 am
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.
2:20 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

LOLOLOL! Good one, rose.

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.

4:08 am
puglet

4:08 am
sprite

4:09 am
grannyrose

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
4:17 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
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
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
4:35 am
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.

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?
5:14 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

5:21 am
puglet

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
5:23 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
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

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

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
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
6:31 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
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!

6:45 am

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

later dear friends, need to go--hugs and bye
6:48 am

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!
6:49 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.
6:54 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
Anniebrook
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
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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Ah, okay. I haven't been in Firefox in a long time.
7:13 am

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.

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

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

Drives me crazy.

Have heard there is a psychological aspect sometimes.

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.

11:26 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

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.

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

have a lovely weekend, jilly
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)

I never got to Gracias but I really liked Copan, the bird sanctuary and the ruins.
11:30 am

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

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

hello crossy
2:47 pm
crosshair
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
Nef
Hi crossy. It is shocking that this is done! I agree that organic chicken is the way to go....
2:52 pm
crosshair
i was totally unaware of this practice till recently
2:52 pm
ch1212
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.
2:57 pm

very true, Molly.

i am just starting to discover that ,molly:(

that no-salt stuff is horrid btw

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
ch1212
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!
2:59 pm
crosshair
crossy has his listening ears on...
3:01 pm

just think, in "plumped" chicken, one out of every ten pounds is sodium injections;(

Wow, it's a whole website that sells salt-free items. Thanks, Nef.
3:03 pm
Nef
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.

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

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... :-(

was watching an episode of prison break last night and commented once again on what a little slime ball T- Bag is in a variety of situations then i pulled myself out of the immersion of what i was looking at and realized what a great actor this person is to make me hate him so much as the series progresses (the rest of them are darn good actors and actresses as well)

Dinner first is good. But when breakfast afterwards is provided, then you know you have a keeper!! In my 'umble opinion!
4:53 pm

when single, i always used to practice the art of the perfect breakfast. That is why crossy is so good at breffast, anything to get them to stay overnight..well almost. The first time i said to my mrs "well, how do you like your eggs in the morning?" and she snapped right back, "unfertilized" i knew i was in for a rough go of it
4:56 pm

5:04 pm

I just looked up black & white pudding Soodle. yuck
5:05 pm
Bugsaw
I could not even think about starting the day with that in spite of my Irish ancestry
5:07 pm
Soodle
Sorry. Black n white pudding is glorious! Cos, the full english is as I described... Bacon, egg sausage toast, and on a good day, you might get mushrooms, beans, puddings & fried potatoes.
5:07 pm
jaxx7
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
cosdem
ah thanks sounds good!
5:08 pm
Soodle
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
Soodle
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
jaxx7
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
jaxx7
I'm with Bugsaw on liver. I am the same with any offal. To me it smells of its function.
5:12 pm
Soodle
Rofl @ Bugs' "texture of snot" remark! Bugs! Oysters are snottish! Not puddings.
5:13 pm

Love an english breakfast but am not a fan of black pudding.
5:13 pm

you can't tell me coagulated blood does not have the texture of snot. I am not convinced

My son went back to the UK after Christmas. In his van he had 32lbs of flour for some Irish ex-pat friends who hanker after the taste of home. I sweated bullets as he was travelling, fearing that the Customs people would pull him over & query what a 23 year old young lad was doing bringing 32lbs of white powder across international frontiers!

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
lilliann
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.
6:12 pm
saanichcat
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!

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!

Especially for the boys!
6:15 pm

Rofl! Liz 😃😃😃
6:15 pm

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

Phew! Suddenly realised that could've sounded offensive!
6:16 pm

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

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

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

6:22 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

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

6:28 pm

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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?"

7:21 pm

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

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

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.

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
gapeach
Hey there, jmc.
8:19 pm
jmcnrick
here just for a few minutes. . .
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.
8:21 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
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 :-)
8:23 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

so what is the difference between a fortified wine and wine, or spirit?
10:06 pm
rururocks
Wine just has natural alcohol based on its sugars and fermentation

fireworks . i'm in love. new puppy today for my grandkids….so sweet and snuggly
10:07 pm

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

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.
