Hello, everyone!

6:26 am

6:26 am

Anniebrook

good morning babblers

6:27 am

Anniebrook

Mimi, are you up quite early?

6:27 am

MimiCat

Hi, Annie!

6:29 am

crosshair

((mimi)) liz ,annie:))

6:30 am

Anniebrook

morning, crossy

6:31 am

MimiCat

Yes, Annie..it's 5:30 here. I'm up by 5 every morning but lately more like 4:00. Been falling asleep a bit early as I've been working like a crazy person lately...haven't had a real day off since...can't even remember. But that's my choice.

6:32 am

crosshair

at least you no longer have to deal with the alien chipmunk

6:32 am

Anniebrook

I remember the alien chipmunk

6:33 am

MimiCat

Yep--and I'm thankful for that every day, crossy. The doc I am transcribing has had a bad cold for a few days, though, and has been slurring her words and generally screwing up---a lot. Good thing I know what I'm doing 'cause I have her back.

6:34 am

MimiCat

And she likes to eat an apple while dictating....hey, little annoyance compared to the crazy doc.

6:35 am

MimiCat

Crossy, how's your mouth doing? I get to start my dental adventure soon...needs to be done but really dreading it...you can relate.

6:36 am

MimiCat

This grid started out great for me but went south pretty fast. :(

6:37 am

crosshair

"crossy does a happy dance as of today i am done the entire math curriculum ahead of the class!: bad part is i have to just amuse myself till final exam next wed. she cannot give it out early.. mouth is doing ok and all is quiet, mimi (knock on wood) my next apt is feb 5th

6:38 am

MimiCat

HOORAY for you, crossy! Great job with the math. You are just too clever! Glad your mouth is stable as well.

6:39 am

MimiCat

Liz---you can access my Jigidi puzzles now.

6:40 am

crosshair

yes, this is one of those tricksy grids. It teases you in, makes you think it is a cake walk and WHAMMO! makes you squeal in agony for the last half

6:40 am

MimiCat

Sounds a lot like my marriage, crossy....

6:41 am

crosshair

I have a new puzzle up as well, mimi. it is a WWF sceth of an endangered sea turtle but done with designs from city scapes

6:41 am

crosshair

6:41 am

crosshair

crossy seems to have a lisp today:)

6:42 am

MimiCat

Wow---will have to grab that one, crossy. How many pieces? Can we decrease the number of pieces in Jigidi? You can change the number in TheJigsawPuzzles.com. Am really loving that site.

6:43 am

crosshair

it is in the low 200,s I thin 226

6:43 am

Anniebrook

crossy, I did your babble puzzle. Enjoyed it.

6:43 am

crosshair

yes, the pievces can go for 12 to 400+ in some instances

6:43 am

crosshair

glad you liked it , annie

6:43 am

MimiCat

Great---I have a short attention span.

though it limited my sea turtle to 226

6:44 am

crosshair

I have sizes for everyone atm from 122 right up to 450 I believe

6:45 am

MimiCat

I don't see the turtle, crossy..and I refreshed.

6:46 am

MimiCat

Going to try Mountain River, though...love scenes like that.

6:51 am

crosshair

let me look, mimi

6:52 am

crosshair

it is there, mimi on the top left 260 pieces

6:53 am

crosshair

though mountain river is a pretty one if I do say so myself. not a bad shot considering I used an I-phone 4

6:54 am

MimiCat

Not on mine, crossy...leave it to me to be a problem! I refreshed again. Try one of mine, crossy...they have all been my Babble icons and the pics are really pretty.

6:55 am

crosshair

i will,mimi:)) it will be next. just finishing up my snowy fence

6:55 am

Anniebrook

Mimi, what is your name on jigidi?

6:55 am

MimiCat

I think you'll especially like the Monument Valley one...stunningly stark. It's a very spiritual place.

6:56 am

crosshair

but no matter, you will love my mountain river

6:56 am

crosshair

i am going to take a peek now mimi. you use same name there?

6:56 am

MimiCat

Same as here, Annie...MimiCat.

6:57 am

Anniebrook

thanks

6:57 am

MimiCat

My pleasure.

6:57 am

Anniebrook

Just what I needed, another addiction!

6:57 am

MimiCat

;))

6:57 am

crosshair

yup.bookmarked monument valley

6:58 am

crosshair

and my name is also the same if you wish to peek at my puzzles,annie

6:58 am

MimiCat

Hope you enjoy it, crossy.

6:59 am

crosshair

6:59 am

Anniebrook

crossy, I know. I already did your babble grid puzzle.

7:00 am

crosshair

lizlin and I have been doing 400+ brain busters for so long,this will be a treat

7:00 am

MimiCat

Annie, you should also try TheJigsawPuzzles.com. They have some really great themes...I LOVE the Bridges section.

7:00 am

Anniebrook

and I did one of sprites.

7:00 am

crosshair

yes, you said that. the mind is the first thing to go i am told, so watch out for crossy

7:00 am

Anniebrook

I wll, Mimi. Thanks

7:00 am

MimiCat

Can you expand my puzzle pieces, crossy, or must I do that?

7:01 am

crosshair

you need to do that, mimi. good thing is you can reissue the same puzzle as many times as you like. many members make an easy and hard puzzle of each picture

7:02 am

MimiCat

OK..I'll see if I can figure that out...I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to those kinds of things.

7:08 am

MimiCat

Annie, when you go to that puzzle site, try the spiral mode for the pieces...I LOVE that one.

7:10 am

MimiCat

Must get to work. Enjoy the day, everyone! Hugs all around.♥

7:12 am

MimiCat

Can you believe I JUST NOW figured out how the tile stats boxes work?!!!

7:15 am

72 Temple Owl

Yep. we have the pixies today!

7:17 am

MimiCat

My son just sent me a video of grandson Nathaniel (age 1 and change) playing with the Mozart Cube I got him for Christmas. This one seems to have inherited my love of music...will we ever have fun!

7:18 am

crosshair

very nice:))

7:18 am

crosshair

just googled a Mozart cube. cute toy

7:18 am

MimiCat

I jut ordered battery powered LED night lights for both boys...one is an elephant and the other a dolphin...and they change colors.

7:19 am

MimiCat

It's great, crossy...you can play one instrument at a time or the whole orchestra. He was sitting there letting the orchestra play and slapping his legs in time...soooo cute.

7:20 am

crosshair

why is it that grandparents almost always buy noisy toys?? my M.I.L wanted to get my son a drum set when he was 6

7:20 am

crosshair

lol

7:21 am

MimiCat

At least this one plays Mozart! And it isn't that noisy. But as they grow, we'll be great buddies because, after all, we have a common "enemy."

7:22 am

crosshair

i said "sure go ahead, as long as you set it up here for when he visits"

7:22 am

crosshair

lol grandkids, a parents revenge

7:23 am

crosshair

i already laid the parents curse on my son " i hope that when you have kids of your own,they behave exactly like you"

7:23 am

MimiCat

And I found a great item for myself...battery powered tealight candles with a built in timer!! They automatically turn off after 6 hours, turn back on 18 hours later, etc. Fabulous. I'm telling you, Amazon has EVERYTHING...no need to shop anywhere else.

7:23 am

crosshair

sound nice indeed;)

7:24 am

crosshair

i once bought my beloved folating lotus candles for the tub

7:24 am

MimiCat

I can't wait for my son to one day realize his children are "channeling" their grandmother!!

7:24 am

crosshair

and you will hear him from a distance.. "NOOOOOO!"

7:25 am

MimiCat

They have battery powered lotus candles, too, crossy!! Just ordered two!

7:25 am

crosshair

FLOATING

7:25 am

Do your cross country skills get increasingly better as the years go by, Scrabbler?

9:22 am

Scrabbler

Oh, yes. I used to remove my skis and walk down some hills to avoid a nasty fall. Now I go down easily. I also switched to backcountry skis 3 yrs ago--higher, stiffer boots, wider skis with metal edges. Improved control for me.

9:23 am

Scrabbler

And my endurance is better. I used to do one loop (2.25 miles) and be done. I can do 2 now.

9:24 am

Scrabbler

I enjoy watching the freestyle skiers--they use the skate technique like you see on the Olympics. They are so graceful.

A relative of Mr Angry, perhaps?

This is astounding. Apparently when you play Candy Crush Saga, you can purchase a "sweet set of lives" on iTunes for 99 cents which will extend your "life" in the game. That download is making the owner A MILLION DOLLARS A DAY.

Aha! Thank you Smithy. :-)

I must admit, though, after seeing your clue, Smithy, I searched the grid for 'Jose'!

crazy grid. However if Minveryork writes a story, she can have a pair of low voiced singers performing a piece of music that I thought was only for piano--but perhaps for voice.

3:06 pm

MollyL

Human lasagna and Bich is a Bishop. Okay now, everyone turn off your auto correct.

3:07 pm

RoundBarn

odd what foreign words enable allows. My singers cannot be soto voce.

3:09 pm

jaxx7

I think its sotte voce

3:11 pm

MollyL

And I think it is sotto voce. Any more guesses?

3:11 pm

you're right--I never was a singer so my music didn't say that--but I did sing al** in some choirs.

Sotto voce, soft voice.

Favorite saying: the Irish never let facts ruin a good story. :)

3:19 pm

Dawg, actually means under the voice and can refer to a loud whisper.

3:20 pm

RoundBarn

my dad says that throughout my books--and I tell all my sti udents.

Hi Guys. :-) I guess y'all have heard! Riverdance is coming to Irelamd in May! An Irish Babble meet!! I'm beside myself in anticipation. :-)

3:21 pm

Nothing should ruin a good story, right?

3:21 pm

so they practice that, too (ignore the facts that spoil)--my dad was Irish so that makes me, too. Irish last name.

I wish i could come too Soodle.

I hope you enjoy, Crossie. Daughter 3 2 says we should put all the Liberties on the web site, lable them Beloit City Press, and sell them for ? Not much, any way.

3:27 pm

Soodle

Jeepers! How many times do I have to say this...... Any Babblers who wish to visit Ireland, let me know. I can facilitate your trip. I'm only dying for a Babble meet up!

3:27 pm

RoundBarn

If I get there Soodle I'll come see you--you're one I watch--I've liked your profile and remarks--the owner of the cottage was my colleague for 17 years, in Illinois, but born in Dublin, and bought the cottage with some money she inherited. I took 4 trips to Ireland to set up a class, then got euchered out of it by a devious colleague. Long story, painful.

3:27 pm

i am sure i will enjoy it. As for setting up a web site and selling your librerty booklets,why not? you never know till you try. Places like freewbs.com give you 8 free pages to work with.

Were round barns made for round cows?

3:29 pm

hego

they are very interesting, actually.

3:29 pm

crosshair

indeed, the square cows were unhappy in it as they could not go lay in the corner

3:29 pm

hego

Built for easy cow access.

3:30 pm

lol Crossy

3:30 pm

our oldest Mennonite round barns were originally painted white and not red. they are quite scarce now however:((

3:30 pm

Still waiting for Mr & Mrs Crosshair to make their Irish debut!

3:31 pm

crosshair

Soodles,we had it all organized and the flit hit the shan at the last moment:((

3:31 pm

RoundBarn

they are more violin shaped viewed from the top. Crossie, I have 3 websites! Megan (daughter 2, my webmaster of 2 of them) says we should put all my books on, including the Libertys, not just the farm ones. She's going to work on that. BUT I am taking your info--I have a writing group every week and they will want to know!

3:31 pm

Soodle

Thank you Roundbarn :-)

3:31 pm

hego

I saw one in the Bershires, I think.

3:31 pm

and not always round per se, but often octagonal in shape

3:32 pm

NY state

3:33 pm

o-o

George Washington designed and built a sixteen-sided threshing barn at his Dogue Run Farm in Fairfax County, Virginia in 1793. It is considered the first American round barn.

3:33 pm

hego

I think it was a Shaker barn.

3:34 pm

RoundBarn

ours was white, always--till the city sneaked out and tore it down, last year. I have been in the Shaker barn. Was actually kissed in that barn, sorta unforgettable.

3:34 pm

crosshair

and the placement of the barns on a slight rise is always interesting and the front and back sliding doors always face the prevailing winds. I was told once this was handy at wheat harvest time is hand separating the wheat from the chaff. Just open both doors, let the wind whistle through and toss the wheat up in the air and let the chaff sail out the door!

3:34 pm

hego

very romantic.

3:35 pm

RoundBarn

that's a good piece of histpory, crossie, I will save it. But now I've got to get to work, quit enjoying you all, so poink.

3:36 pm

o-o

I have been out behind quite a few barns ... and cannot say the ambiance brought romance to mind.

3:37 pm

RoundBarn

cows cannot tell. Poink

3:40 pm

ahh nothing like laying out back on the sunny side of a barn reading a young lady poetry)

3:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

cows cannot tell what?

3:41 pm

RoundBarn

they can't tell on you.

3:41 pm

Soodle

Assuming saintly air.... 'I have never, ever been behind an american barn!' I'm clearly a much better person than most Babblers!

3:41 pm

crosshair

cows keep secrets well.

3:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

ah, i see...

3:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

notice she is not saying anything about barns elsewhere.

3:42 pm

RoundBarn

my editor said you don't have enouh sex in the book--so I added a chapter called kissing--it involves barns

3:42 pm

crosshair

i notice how you quantify "American" what about out back of those fine irish byres?

3:43 pm

RoundBarn

TO, read back, they were talking about a shaker barn.

3:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

love shaker design

3:44 pm

mm,who the makers of a particular barn were never came to my mind when reciting prose to a young lady

3:44 pm

I was never kissed in a byre--worse luck.

How now [round] cow?

3:45 pm

"mm.nice barn eh? Looks like peg and post to me"...errr nice weather eh" "gee your hair smells nice"...ummm...

3:46 pm

send me your bsarrn poems and I'll print them all---but right now I gotta go shop, we're reading the Inheritors so tomorrows meal has to be paleo. I'm bringing the grubs.

3:46 pm

that's how they get those mini baby bell cheese rounds o-o

3:47 pm

and of course carnation milk is from contented cows

3:47 pm

Soodle

Oh my! Barns were a pretty major factor in my growing up. But, beyond saying that, my lips are sealed.

3:48 pm

RoundBarn

as are mine. I asked my sisters for their stories of sex on the farm and they laughed and shook their heads. So I deal most with animal sex--lots if artificial insem. in the two final volumes--ibcluding compaining by the bulls.

3:49 pm

o-o

Being contented is truly an accomplishment ... since cows have a lot to stomach.

3:49 pm

RoundBarn

complainig, not campaigning. They weren't that organized.

3:51 pm

RoundBarn

off to the store. Neadnerthals ate honey. Nuts and berries. eggs. I can figure something. The Inheritors by Golding--his favorite of his books. Definite poink. (Crossie, should I make up my own word?)

3:53 pm

crosshair

Patchwork quilt of a metal roof,
with a hip-shot lean to the left.

Boards, weathered, to a storm cloud grey,
with remnants of red in the cracks.

Generations, hub of the farm.
If only the old barn could talk.

From its birth, in a barn raising,
lumber from a family saw mill.

Mares with foals, town dances and plows.
Hay in the loft and moonshine.

Sign of the times, acres were sold,
but the old red barn is stubborn.

It may be swaybacked in its spine,
yet, its rugged beauty is ageless. - Pamela swanson

no need. you are more than welcome to use mine anytime you wish

8-4ish. Lots of topics covered.

oh, one more day. Tomorrow.

4:46 pm

periwinkle

4:47 pm

tomorrow we find out about our "job" Today was all about information on "how" we do it.

4:48 pm

phandmd

There was a topic on Communication, Spirituallity, there were topics about the different services they provide.

4:48 pm

periwinkle

sounds interesting.

4:48 pm

phandmd

It was!

4:50 pm

periwinkle

when I worked in a hospital the only problem I had with hospice was that doctors took too long to refer patients to hospice.

4:51 pm

phandmd

Yes, I think I saw some of that when I was working on the Oncology unit too.

4:51 pm

periwinkle

it was a shame because the patients and families would have benefited greatly from the experience.

4:52 pm

phandmd

they were talking today, how they really prefer to get the patient earlier in the process...

4:52 pm

periwinkle

indeed

4:52 pm

periwinkle

some doctors need to be eduction re the referral process

4:53 pm

phandmd

yes. Some Docs likely have a misconception as to what Hospice really is.

4:53 pm

phandmd

just like the general population

4:54 pm

periwinkle

yep, I keep typing my responses in the add a word box :)

4:54 pm

that's not very helpful, Peri. ;^]

4:54 pm

periwinkle

I know

4:55 pm

phandmd

lol

4:55 pm

o-o

People I know often view a hospice referral as their treater's capitulation ... a death sentence.

4:56 pm

periwinkle

very true o-o

4:57 pm

phandmd

even so, Hospice is more and more prevalent. I mean it wasn't that long ago that insurances and Medicare didn't cover Hospice.

4:58 pm

phandmd

we just need to get the public more educated.

5:00 pm

phandmd

1/2 way!

11 left, bbs

5:01 pm

phandmd

see you, Peri

5:09 pm

o-o

Many have not prepared wills, powers of attorney (including for health care) or dying declarations ...talking to loved ones is critical too. To be effective , the documents need to be available to the treaters. As far as education, the treater must be knowledgeable about the law and make a record that the illness is terminable. Thinking about all these things for the first time right before decisions need to be made is most unfortunate.

5:10 pm

phandmd

Agreed, o-o

5:10 pm

crosshair

palative care here is a key part in the oncology process for those who have decided that quality of life must take precedence over aggressive heavy handed treatments when all else has failed.several of my friends have been blessed with the skilled and compassionate people in palative services and they made their last year or months as comfortable as possible. takes a special group of medical professionals to do this i am sure:)

I suppose you are right.

5:19 pm

rururocks

well.. some states have their s together and allow marriage now.. so there's been a huge step forward.

5:20 pm

Jillyjill

Oh yes, progress started and hopefully will continue, but so far, NOT in my state...hell, we just this year decriminalized sodomy!

5:20 pm

o-o

I think the biggest hurdle to palliative care is fear and ignorance. As far as I can tell, implementation of the tools currently available and communication with family and treaters makes a huge, positive difference.

5:20 pm

phandmd

I agree o-o.

5:21 pm

rururocks

I do to 00

5:21 pm

old news here. We let people in love marry who they wish.

5:21 pm

rururocks

"what are you in for ?" other prisoner: er.. ah.. well. you see. I ah er..

5:22 pm

Jillyjill

Unfortunatly, from my years in Hospice, primary care givers are very hesitant to recommend palliative care. Even our obituaries show it..."so and so died after a valliant battle with cancer" that usually makes me cringe...

5:22 pm

rururocks

too..on the previous comment.. I hate auto Correct

5:23 pm

Jillyjill

True dat crossy!

5:24 pm

Jillyjill

I always told my patients to ask the question, when seeking treatment, "what will this do for me versus what will it do to me?"

5:24 pm

Jillyjill

LOL ruru

5:25 pm

Jillyjill

In other words, what is an extra 6 months of life IF you are sick, nauseated and weakened.

5:26 pm

o-o

If the person is capable of making decisions, those decisions need to be honored.

5:26 pm

phandmd

most definitely!

5:28 pm

Jillyjill

THat usually is done, the problem being when someone is NOT capable--whom is selected to make those decisions. I made both my sons get advanced directives once they turned 18.

5:28 pm

uusue2

hi all! Cheerful discussion we're having, I see...

5:29 pm

Jillyjill

Most states have laws aside from directives that establish priorites

5:29 pm

MollyL

Legitimate question: At least once a day (if not more) I see people here say "I hate auto correct". Why not just turn it off?

Answer to Molly : At times I love auto correct - really useful if I'm writing at speed but definitely not in chat! Could turn it off but then I'd want to turn it on again. So, answer, leave it on and don't moan. Apologise when it turns smores to smokes!!!!

5:40 pm

Hello lizlin!

5:40 pm

Yes, phan. Can turn auto correct off in "settings"

That surprises me, lbd. I know I could on my iPad or computer - so that's what I was judging by.
