1:25 am
grannyrose

1:27 am
flosey

1:27 am
Lizlin

Th4's always a good idea - whatever the circumstances.
1:28 am
grannyrose

amazing isn't flosey? never a fairy godmother around when you need one?
1:28 am
Lizlin

When you find one, clone one for me!
1:29 am
flosey

1:30 am
Lizlin

That's lovely, Flosey - lovely man.

I just googled it, sounds like the Christian sabbath??
1:44 am
rururocks

Ok thx

shabbas/shabbat is sunset friday to sunset Saturday in Jewish tradition. Worship happens on Friday night, and no wrk may be performed on Saturday.
1:45 am
rururocks

For a second i thought it was something skewered and on a bbq
1:46 am
dcseain

in Israel, the weekend is Friday/Saturday.
1:46 am
flosey

thanks Seain, interesting
1:46 am
dcseain

evening, flosey and ruru
1:46 am
grannyrose

jewish word for sabbath. it is from the first star seen on friday evening to first star seen on saturday evening
1:46 am
rururocks

Hi dc
1:47 am
dcseain

yes, exactly as grannyrose says :)
1:47 am
grannyrose

g'day seain
1:47 am
dcseain

hello, rose
1:49 am
grannyrose

there are 5 fridays in this month.
1:49 am
flosey

we have had many jewish friends over the years and they taught us a lot. Hubby started teaching in an area predominantly Jewish area in Ontario - lots of smart kids
1:49 am
grannyrose

means we get to have take-away indian banquet for dinner . can't wait. it is so yummy.
1:51 am
grannyrose

seain, i used to take care of an elderly jewish lady. she loved to teach me about her faith. and she was a good teacher too.
1:51 am
flosey

I take it you are referromg to East Indian rather than North American Indian?
1:51 am
dcseain

very nice, and i'm sure rewarding it sounds. :)
1:52 am
flosey

East Indian foods are very good - some quite hot, as in spicy
1:52 am
rururocks

North american indians didn't cook that well
1:53 am
grannyrose

she was a sweetie, but we could almost come to blows when it was time for her shower....lol...she had early alzheimer's. and could never remember when it was shower day.
1:53 am
dcseain

having been through alzheimer's with two relatives, i can easily imagine.
1:53 am
grannyrose

you know, ruru? i have never eaten anything cooked in the fashion of north american indians.
1:54 am
dcseain

The Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian has a cafe that serves a native american menu featuring dishes from different regions.
1:54 am
grannyrose

seain, i used to end up in fits of giggles at her protestations.
1:54 am
dcseain

some common foods here, including corn pudding, cornbread, succotash, and turkey come from the natives.
1:55 am
dcseain

Hehehe, that's easy to imagine too, rose :)
1:55 am
grannyrose

ooohhh, really seain. then himself and i really must go th5 when we come over.
1:55 am
joym999

there were once many millions of north american Indians, most of whom died in after the Europeans came. Kind of hard to generalize about the food of such a large group of people, a lot of whom aren't around anymore to know
1:55 am
flosey

nice pic of you and jms, Seain
1:56 am
dcseain

It's the one Smithsonian i've not been to yet.
1:56 am

indeed so, joym
1:57 am
dcseain

well the 9 was easy once i found la8 :)
1:57 am
joym999

I like the cafe at the Smithsonian American Indian museum too..I have to admit it's my favorite part of that museum.
1:58 am
dcseain

i've heard from many people that they've the best food in the Mall area.
1:58 am
flosey

thaks seain, for the la9
1:58 am
dcseain

sl9, yw :)
1:59 am
flosey

yes, sorry, following the chatline
2:00 am
joym999

the area just north of the mall, around the MCI center, has a lot of good restaurants too
2:00 am
grannyrose

gosh i loved this grid...no really weird words.
2:03 am
grannyrose

th4's not to say i didn't miss some by the way. but when i found them it was a duh moment. * sigh *
2:03 am
dcseain

it does indeed, if not the lovely selection of various Chinese it used to have.
2:04 am
joym999

are there any Chinese restaurants left at all? There were a couple that I loved.
2:04 am
flosey

I loved Chinese food - even though it was a migraine trigger
2:05 am
dcseain

Chopsticks Chinatown and the place in the basment on 6th just south of H are still there.
2:05 am
grannyrose

before we come over, you all are going to have to email with all your suggestions of ' must see ' stuff. but th4's in about 2 years time.
2:05 am
joym999

Including one called "Eat First" which had my all-time favorite typo on their menu -- Bean Crud
2:05 am
dcseain

will be happy to when you need, rose
2:05 am
dcseain

Eat Frist was lovely.
2:06 am
grannyrose

oh, no, joy. roflol
2:06 am
grannyrose

flosey, was it the msg in the chinese food which triggered your migraines?
2:08 am
joym999

dcseain, have you been to Jaleo?
2:08 am
flosey

YES - took a long time to realize what it was
2:08 am
dcseain

many, many times between the &th and E and the Crystal City locations.
2:09 am
dcseain

i Ricchi is lovely, too, if you want Italian.
2:09 am
dcseain

Mama Ayesha's on Calvert St NW is lovely middle eastern.
2:09 am
joym999

It's still my favorite tapas place; I miss it.
2:09 am
flosey

I love the Italian Tiramisu
2:10 am
dcseain

yes, Jaleo is the most like i remember in Spain of all the various tapas places.
2:11 am
joym999

Now I'm hungry...
2:13 am
grannyrose

flosey, over he4, it is against the law to put msg in food . you could eat freely. and without a migraine to follow.
2:14 am
flosey

that's wonderful, rose, in Toronto all the ones I went to used MSG and I always suffered after - but loved their food
2:14 am
joym999

I went to Spain once, in the late 1980s, and I still remember the taste of the jamon serrano...
2:15 am
grannyrose

our local sushi and noodle bar is to die for...and we probably will...lol. the first time we ate th5 i thought i had died and gone to heaven. no need for soy sauce or any other condiment.
2:16 am
dcseain

at the airport in Palma de Mallorca, i went to the counter and asked for "dos bocadillos, un de jamon y el otro de jamon y queso', por favor" I was given a traditional serrano on a hard roll for the ham, and the ham nad cheese was serrano with cheddar on anglo-style white bread. LOL it confused us that the bread was so different because of the cheese.
2:16 am
flosey

I can live quite happily without sushi - it was quite popular on the west coast here, I couldn't even stand the smell of the places - very respectable ones - just had something else that was a bother to me
2:16 am
dcseain

sounds lovely, rose
2:18 am
joym999

gotta go to bed, it's after midnight and I'm turning into a pumpkin...night all
2:18 am
grannyrose

and a very lovely one too, joy. sleep well, dear.
2:19 am
dcseain

sweet dreams, joy
2:20 am
grannyrose

i am game for any cuisine seain. but i do have to watch the spices. chili sends my body temperature out of control. but hot curries don't....go figure.
2:20 am
flosey

ah, same time zone joy, and that should send me off to bed too, 116 for tomorrow, goodnight all
2:21 am
dcseain

sleep well, flosey
2:21 am
grannyrose

and not too clever with pepper either.
2:21 am
dcseain

i eat a rather spicy diet, but i do know how to tone it down or leave it out. :)
2:21 am
grannyrose

sweet dreams, dear flosey
2:21 am
flosey

ty seain - and you, when you get there
2:21 am
flosey

and to you rose,
2:23 am
grannyrose

seain, it drives me nuts. i cook the most delicately flavoured meals, and himself just about empties the salt and pepper shakers/grinders onto them.
2:23 am
dcseain

month 8 since the newer-to-me cat arrived, and the two of theme are working still on cohabitating. still learning to share me. the 5-year age difference does not help, either. he wants to play and she does not.
2:24 am
dcseain

heavens to betsy, rose, i cannot imagine.
2:24 am
grannyrose

i was so pleased to see jamie oliver's recipe for osso bucco the other night. it is identical to mine, except i use red wine and not white.
2:25 am
dcseain

red makes more sense to me than white, though i've not eaten meat in 20 years.
2:25 am
grannyrose

and get th4 tongue out of your cheek, young man...lol. i kn ow, i know....it's totally about different palates.
2:27 am
dcseain

tonight i enjoyed a still cidre blanc -- apple juice fermented with white whine yeast. Very nice -- cider-ike and wine-like all at once, if not at all like an apple wine.
2:27 am
grannyrose

i use a lot of lemon zest and the more delicate spices when i am cooking. because of his sinus problems, he simply cannot taste them.
2:28 am
grannyrose

ooohhh, nice seain.was it a light, crisp flavour?
2:28 am
dcseain

no, bright, light, apple juice flavor, 6% abv, a little bit of citrus on the finish.
2:29 am
dcseain

and at $15/3L, a good buy.
2:29 am
grannyrose

seain, with the newer cat...have you set up play things for it? like climbing posts, catnip balls on elastic, mice chews etc
2:30 am
grannyrose

hmmm something to look out for. what is it called?
2:33 am
grannyrose

do you have strongbows over th5? it is both a still and a bubbly cider of varying strengths.
2:35 am
dcseain

we do. It's MUCH better on tap than in the can.
2:36 am
dcseain

oh yes, LOTS of play things. But he's 3, and she's 8. :)
2:37 am
dcseain

Crispin Cidre Blank -- it's out of Pennsylvania.
2:37 am
grannyrose

hmmm, he should settle down over the next 12 months or so. but meanwhile, you have a cranky cat who doesn't want to play...
2:37 am
dcseain

yes, it's gotten better bit by bit over months. :)
2:38 am
grannyrose

will check it out, seain.
2:38 am
dcseain

er, Crispin Cidre Blanc -- i can spell, really. ;)
2:39 am
dcseain

this particular product is a bag-in-box, 3L size.
2:39 am
grannyrose

yeah, but spell checker can't....lol
2:40 am
grannyrose

i see th4, seain. trying to find a supplier in australia now.

puglet

Hello DC
2:47 am
dcseain

Sprite was on here last night, about this time.
2:48 am
grannyrose

pugs, i did answer you email which was gratefully received.
2:49 am
puglet

how are things with you,DC?-----Rose, I keep you in my prayers with all that you are going through
2:50 am
puglet

I got yours Rose and thank you but I was talking about Sprite not answering
2:50 am
dcseain

things are okay, thank you. gradually getting back on my feet financially, which is nice, if slower than i would like, but good progress after several years of under-and unemployment. :) But, i have place to live and food, and can care for the cats and the car and me, so no complaints at all.
2:50 am
grannyrose

oh, darling pugs. the disability pension has been approved. not much money-wise. but i get a pension card which gives me a lot of perks.
2:51 am
dcseain

oh, that's wonderful news, rose
2:51 am
grannyrose

seain, nice to see your life is slowly gaining some sort of normalcy, mate.
2:51 am
puglet

well thats something good going for you for once Rose--so happy for you
2:52 am
puglet

I, too am glad you are making progress DC--I know just how all that is myself
2:52 am
grannyrose

yes, seain and pugs. finally things are going into a positive swing.
2:53 am
puglet

2:58 am
grannyrose

pugs, don and i have booked a 6 day get-away from the 23rd of november.
2:59 am
dcseain

and the economy is starting to pick up again here in the DC area, which is nice.
2:59 am
puglet

how wonderful for you two! Please enjoy! You two deserve it
2:59 am
grannyrose

pugs, did i tell you about my pain management doctor? in south america on holiday?
2:59 am
dcseain

well, i should sleep -- it's 4AM.
3:00 am
puglet

good night DC nice to talk to you
3:00 am
grannyrose

sweet dreams, seain. lovely to catch up with you, mate
3:00 am
dcseain

G'night, pugs, good evening, rose. Nice chatting with yall :)
3:02 am
grannyrose

my doctor went to south america with his wife for a 5 week holiday. 2 weeks ago, in south america, he had a massive heart attack and died. his poor wife was stuck th5, no friends or family. and she couldn't get a flight back to australia until last week.
3:03 am
puglet

what a terrible thing to happen
3:04 am
puglet

was she able to bring his body back home
3:04 am
grannyrose

can you imagine, pugs? being in a completely strange country? with no-one to support/help you through such a devastating event.
3:05 am
grannyrose

i haven't heard, pugs. i will be in contact with the clinic at the end of november.
3:05 am
puglet

no I cant---how awful for her
3:07 am
grannyrose

how is Barb doing? you said her BSL was high.
3:07 am
puglet

Rose, how are you after all they have put you through
3:07 am
grannyrose

actually, pugs. my stress levels are falling, rapidly.
3:08 am
puglet

its back to normal now---the doctor has been pleased with her readings and weight so I dont know what happen there
3:09 am
grannyrose

good...i am pleased. was W involved, do you think?
3:10 am
puglet

I miss you guys so much, I feel so out of the loop on everything---Its understandable Rose with all you have gone through this year and last as well
3:10 am
puglet

I dont really think so Rose
3:11 am
puglet

My friend Carol is not doing so well either. I got to mow today and go help her do up her things at the campgrounds for winter as well today
3:12 am
grannyrose

hmmm. *wonders if Barb has learned to access food which is 'out of bounds"
3:13 am
puglet

I'm thinking she over ate on something, is my guess
3:14 am
grannyrose

pugs, the chimney is down enough for me to see through to the back wall of the laundry from the kitchen. the glimmer of how much room i am going to have is very he5ening.
3:14 am
puglet

I'm so hoping I dont have to miss much work after the operation
3:15 am
puglet

have you and don started redoing your home?
3:15 am
grannyrose

pugs, relax and trust in God, dear. he will never give you too much to bear.
3:16 am
puglet

thanks Rose, I forget to do that sometimes
3:17 am
grannyrose

your employer surely understands how you need to recover from such abdominal surgery and how much it will benefit.
3:18 am
puglet

My boss has and is very good on all that, its just worring about keeping everything paid
3:19 am
puglet

actually he just told me yesterday that if I need anything and if he can help with anything just call and the same if I need more time off
3:19 am
grannyrose

pugs, it will be paid, dear..it might need a little help. but it will be paid. you need this surgery. please relax, my darling. and go with the flow.
3:20 am
puglet

Love and hugs Rose--I know and you are right
3:20 am
grannyrose

and th5 you go...God has this totally in His control...
3:22 am
puglet

Is don doing beter now as well Rose
3:23 am
puglet

I seen the pics you sent of Braxton--such a pretty baby and getting so big too
3:24 am
grannyrose

pugs, he is under my physio. but he is still needing to go to a surgeon for his shoulder. he does have some very tight muscles in his neck and shoulders.
3:25 am
puglet

going to have to put Sprite on him--lol
3:25 am
grannyrose

sprite was he4 almost an hour earlier yesterday. which does not bode well. it probably means she has had a lousy night.
3:26 am
puglet

she'sbeen on my mind for the last couple of days and I'm worried about her
3:27 am
grannyrose

pugs, yes, dear. i so love how braxton has forged ahead. btw...my eldest's bvaby daughter was born on the 17th of october, 5:15am, weighing in at about 9 1/2 lbs.
3:27 am
puglet

oh wow Rose, how nice a new grandbaby
3:28 am
grannyrose

:-( i have been forbidden to have any contact whatsoever.
3:29 am
puglet

oh no Rose--how sad---My heart goes out to you
3:32 am
grannyrose

pugs, love. this is my eldest son. he has a worm in his head, planted by my ex. he has decided to cut me out of his life.
3:33 am
puglet

I'm sorry for you Rose but not much you can do. Its got to hurt though
3:33 am
grannyrose

i have realised th4 he is a bully. he isolates me. at a family gathering, he will step up and speak to don who is right beside me, and totally ignore me.
3:34 am
jacq

I know i'm not in this conversation but your situation breaks my heart Rose, I am so sorry. Exes can be so cruel and cunning and our children can be cruel too xxxxx
3:34 am
grannyrose

the definition of bullying is, in part, isolation of an individual. he does this to me...i have decided i do not need this in my life.
3:35 am
puglet

But they are so sweet
6:07 am

It's certainly a funny ife, being inthi this very foreign society. I feel really accepted here, though, so it's all very funny. I just wish it was easier with my husband
6:08 am
sukee

So my cat has some kind of intestinal problem. Might be lymphoma. Vet gave me prednisone to give him twice a day. Luckily it is in liquid form which makes it a bit easier.
6:09 am
crosshair

So the scan was not definitive?
6:09 am
MollyL

Aw, Ruby is their bellissima
6:09 am
rubyfoo

Giving meds to animals is no joke. How do you give a liquid to a cat? With a syrige?
6:09 am
sukee

The intestine is mishaped. I would have had to get a biopsy to be sure, but either way the treatment is similar. One is just palliative.
6:10 am
rubyfoo

I can give anything to the dogs, as long as it's wrapped in cream cheese
6:10 am
sukee

Yes, a little syringe. We are getting most of it in :)(
6:10 am
rubyfoo

How old is the cat?
6:10 am
sukee

He is over 16
6:10 am
sukee

I don't want him to have any surgery at his age
6:10 am
crosshair

Lol you can give anything to me as well-- as long as it is wrapped in bacon:)
6:11 am
rubyfoo

I think you are correct, as long as he's not suffering
6:11 am
sukee

lol
6:11 am
rubyfoo

Do you have to throw it up in the air, crossy?
6:11 am
crosshair

Lol
6:11 am
sukee

He seems to be in a bit of pain, hoping the meds help. They should.
6:11 am
crosshair

Poor kitty
6:12 am
rubyfoo

I've o nly had to put one dog down, the others have died one way or another, but it hasn't been my decision.
6:12 am
sukee

Good thing, I picked up some special wet food and he is lapping it up. He never used to eat wet food when I gave it to him.
6:12 am
sukee

This food is supposed to help cats with intestinal problems.
6:13 am
rubyfoo

That's a good thing, sukee
6:13 am
sukee

So, that is more expense. But willing to pay for it. He is now getting both wet and dry.

6:17 am

I am loathe to add up wh** I spend on the dogs, but I don't care. Without the, I couldn't stand living here

6:22 am
rubyfoo

167 words, but stuck on the lonely f and the 9. Any help would be welcome
6:22 am
sukee

I've been getting off easy for years. Two bags of dried food a year cost about $200. Litter maybe $8 every two months.
6:22 am
mattygroves

The F is a vitamin (or at least in the vitamin family). I don't yet have the 9
6:22 am
MollyL

Trips to the vet probably jack that monthly cost up as well. That is a big expense.
6:23 am
mattygroves

So far I've managed 127 words without Lickety, but I'm running out of steam. I am missing any of the bottom centre Es and the 9 to get NBT etc

My vet no longer comes to the house. Rufie growls at her and she's afraid, even though he's never bitten anyone. And there's no way I can get these huge dogs into the car

For me, ABBA is what will be playing on the muzak in Hell

Abba plays eternally in Hell's elevator

And if I complain, they will switch up to John Denver
6:35 am

Abba sounds kind of Satanic to me
6:38 am

the two easiest solutions are the ones you do not wish to do, MLF Make sure you at least run ccleaner and Malwarebytes and clean up your machine a bit. then we can look at the issue deeper if it still persists

then you can use the IE self-diagnostic program if needed

Hello Everybody (or shall I say Anybody?) It's pretty quiet here today, I hope everyone is outside in glorious weather (as I should be too)
3:07 pm
MollyL

Hi Nef. I was outside in the glorious weather most of the day. Fresh air and sunshine is good for the soul.
3:10 pm
Nef

It sure does, Molly. It is so gorgeous outside today here that it almost makes me cry. I love spring and fall in Minnesota!
3:28 pm
Trifioso

hello dear friends....if anyone is out there :)
3:28 pm
MollyL

I love the time of year when I can have all windows open all the time. It's so nice to have fresh air in the house. I do open the windows during the high heat and horrible cold times of the year, but it's not as pleasant.
3:30 pm
Trifioso

hello molly! That sounds very pleasant indeed.
3:32 pm
Nef

Hi Trifi, I'm distracted by a show on PBS about women in the military, so missed you coming in
3:34 pm
Trifioso

I was watching that too, nef! It came on right after a great show about the MI6...
3:34 pm
Trifioso

MI5?
3:36 pm
Nef

oh, it came on after a different show here
3:36 pm
Trifioso

ok
3:36 pm

Im waiting for mr wonderful....we are going out to a comedy show tonight. Not really something I have a lot of experience with, having only been to one or two in my life...looking forward to it though.

Ah, Valentine is now Mr. Wonderful

3:42 pm

any reason why you're saying No?
3:42 pm
Nef

(besides the kids?)
3:43 pm
Trifioso

terror? I don't believe in it anymore? I will lose my share of mr. hate's pension? The kids are all for it, btw...Primo wants to perform the ceremony, Secondo wants to plan the whole thing, and Tertiare wants to pick out all the clothes....
3:44 pm
Nef

LOL! I'll accept the terror excuse…. the pension: is that a good excuse really?
3:45 pm
Trifioso

If i want to eat when elderly, YES.
3:45 pm
MollyL

Trif, you don't have to get married to have a good, solid relationship with someone. And not losing the pension is a VERY good reason.

It's good to hear the kids are for it; they want to see you happy too

he would give up his share of his ex wife's pension as well, and lose his health insurance, which he gets through her, as she works for a university and can keep him on her insurance until she gets married again...or he does

Nef

The kids originally wanted me to go lesbian, so we could get on Jerry Springer. Sorry kiddos.
3:46 pm

Lots of good reasons not to get married. Lots of them.
3:46 pm
Nef

Oooh, Trifii, I guess it's all complicated then.
3:46 pm
MollyL

Didn't your kids already get enough of that story with their father?
3:46 pm

I would marry him in a second, if I could get over my terror.

I'm fine too Annie. I'm resting today; I spent the past 3 days making costumes for my grandson and DH for a "Trunk or Treat" event at church last night. ANd my sewing machine died (I think the belt broke) just with 3 more feet to sew
3:54 pm
Anniebrook

3:55 pm
Nef

He's 5 now, in Kindergarten; and I walk him to school each morning (it's just 3 blocks away).
3:55 pm
Anniebrook

Wow, time does go by quickly.
3:56 pm
Nef

But my son and grandson will be moving out next month or so. I'm happy for them but know I'll miss them (well, him especially!)

Oh that is good to hear Nef. I'm glad your son is getting his life back together.

Nef, Im glad to read that your son is getting on. All good.
3:58 pm
Nef

Me too. his ex is getting very bizarre again though. She threatens suicide, and (even though it's terrible!) sometimes I just wish she'd follow through…. :-(
3:59 pm
Anniebrook

Oh dear, that's trouble. So sorry she is not doing well.
3:59 pm
Nef

(I feel awful that I even think that; it looks terrible in print!)
3:59 pm
MollyL

That is not terrible Nef. Not considering the horror show she has put your family through.
4:00 pm
Anniebrook

Nef, It's good to get it out. Maybe it lifts the mental burden a little.
4:01 pm
Nef

I really do want her to get well and get past all of her demons; but after a while it feels like she never will.
4:01 pm
Anniebrook

sorry, the phone. be back soon. Take care of yourself Nef. you're a good person.
4:02 pm
Nef

Take care of yourself, Annie.
4:03 pm
MollyL

Some people never do, Nef. It's sad, but that is the truth. Please don't beat yourself up for having thoughts that life would be better without her in the picture. It is a natural feeling to have after all you have gone through.
4:03 pm
Nef

Thanks for the support.
4:09 pm
Nef

Change of subject to the grid: could I have some stats for the 8s and 9 letter words? I still have 2 big old Zeroes for words on those . Please and Thank you

hi nef....long time no see....
4:16 pm
Nef

Hi pen. How are you these days? I've been very tired lately and needed more sleep.
4:19 pm
penquis

ah...i am ok....nursing a sore forearm (getting PT) but otherwise ok...
4:20 pm
Nef

Oh? What happened?
4:21 pm
jmcnrick

hi all
4:21 pm
penquis

nothing particular, just started getting sore....nerve and some muscles were inflamed....and i am told that some of my forearm muscles are weaker than they should be...
4:21 pm
penquis

hi
4:21 pm
Nef

hi jmc. How are you today?
4:21 pm
jmcnrick

i find a heating pad my best friend when I am sore. . .
4:21 pm
jmcnrick

. . . that and aspirin
4:21 pm
Nef

Pen, that sounds frustrating. Did you have an old injury that would cause that?
4:21 pm
penquis

yes, but in my case, i have inflammation....use ice not heat...
4:22 pm
jmcnrick

I am okay. . . I got my first flu shot today. . .but they said i was too young to get a pneumonia shot
4:22 pm
MollyL

We must be the only two people left who take aspirin.
4:22 pm
jmcnrick

haha not true. . . my son takes aspirin too
4:22 pm
penquis

no previous injury per se....it got worse when i played the recorder more this summer...hurts when i do bended arm things..
4:22 pm
jmcnrick

aspirin is still the best for inflammation IMHO
4:23 pm
Nef

jmc, I have a heated massaging chair cushion and use it a lot. Can't take aspirin or Ibuprofen, so it's Tylenol for me
4:23 pm
jmcnrick

I recommend a bourbon on the rocks peng. . . you can use it for the cold and the numbing ;)
4:24 pm
jmcnrick

I know some cannot take it. . . but it is still a miracle drug for me. . .
4:24 pm
penquis

yeah, right!....went to a Russian dinner last night and had some vodka and wine....
4:24 pm
jmcnrick

haha vodka on the rocks works too!!
4:25 pm
Nef

LOL! Aspirin and ibuprofen are anti-inflammatory; tylenol doesn't do squat for that. But I'm trying some sour cherry juice and am now trying to grow some sour cherry trees because that is supposed to be good for anti-inflammatory
4:26 pm
jmcnrick

is the f an fo word?
4:26 pm
penquis

ah....good to know....
4:26 pm

4:29 pm
penquis

ah...i am taking chinese now, too, but at a much slower pace....not like a college course....
4:30 pm

i think there is a difference between giving an asterisked clue that is requested vs. asterisking discussion words when clues have not been requested....to me that is giving away words when no one has asked for them....
5:42 pm
penquis

cryptic clues can be fun ( i also like them) but they are sometimes quite confusing to people...
5:42 pm
rururocks

people often don't look at the chat and just give a clue.. even when some players are just asking for stats
5:42 pm

I love doing cryptic clues

she agreed to take it back, we went with another

some can be lively.. but the skunky smell meant it is refermenting

I had a waitress tell me a bottle that was badly corked the other night.. that it was the way it always smells and that musty smell was the oak.
6:25 pm
Nef

Yuk! That sounds disgusting, ru
6:25 pm
kje

ah... ok. otherwise, the pasta dish was good, but pretty average. the interesting things seemed to be in the antipasto section (2 faves were the octopus and the grilled treviso)
6:26 pm
rururocks

Have you tried Flour and Water?
6:26 pm
kje

well, she was nice about it, but def initially tried to say it was normal. I just didn't like it
6:26 pm
kje

yes, LOVE flour + water
6:26 pm
rururocks

they do a nice job
6:27 pm

have only done salads and pastas there, haven't tried their pizza
6:27 pm
rururocks

I tried Pizzeria Delfina the other day and liked that a lot too
6:27 pm
kje

yes, I think flour + water had better pasta by far than Tosca
6:27 pm

Mmmm, Italian food!

6:28 pm

Perbacco is great.. especially the salumi plates
6:29 pm

hi, all. It's been a challenging week. On tuesday, my former husband and his wife lost their 12 year old disabled son suddenly to cardiac arrest (natural causes, per the medical examiner's determination). A very sad week.
6:32 pm
Scrabbler

Oh, no. Very sad.
6:33 pm
kje

yes, scrab... you'll have to come visit... and bring your big pants
6:33 pm

How terribly sad, Angelsong
6:33 pm

so sorry, angel

I have a Gilroy, I think that is the name.
6:34 pm

Gilroy?
6:34 pm
Angelsong

for some reason, his death hit me hard
6:34 pm
Scrabbler

A child's death is very sad.
6:35 pm
Nef

What was his disability, Angelsong? Did he have a heart condition too?
6:35 pm
ChrissieDee

Angel, that's so sad
6:35 pm
kje

very hard to lose a child, not expected
6:35 pm
Scrabbler

Gilroy is south of San Jose, kje.
6:36 pm
kje

yes, the garlic capital of the US... guess I didn't understand, I have a Gilroy
6:37 pm
Angelsong

he was born with some sort of brain damage that caused seizures, he was non verbal and had just learned to walk with support a couple of years ago. no known heart issues, but his seizure meds had damaged his organs.
6:38 pm
Scrabbler

Children with those problems are at risk for many complications.
6:38 pm
Nef

I am so, so sorry. That poor child!
6:40 pm
Angelsong

I am grateful he died at home in both his parents' arms. no machines, wires. tubes or machines. he touched his dad's face with both hands, closed his eyes and took his last breath.
6:41 pm
Nef

what a beautiful, peaceful way to go!
6:41 pm
Scrabbler

A touching ending, though tragic.
6:44 pm
Angelsong

very hard for his parents, though.
6:44 pm
rururocks

how nice you are still close with your ex to be supportive
6:45 pm
Nef

I hope his family will find peace in that, Angelsong.
6:45 pm
Scrabbler

They will need ongoing bereavement support for many years.
6:46 pm
bichon

Did someone mention Gilroy, the garlic capital of the world
6:46 pm
Scrabbler

Yes, my cousin moved there several years ago.
6:47 pm
bichon

I don't think it's the garlic capital any more, but we stopped there once and the whole town reeked of garlic
6:47 pm
rururocks

they still call themselves the Garlic Capitol
6:48 pm
rururocks

they grow more artichokes than garlic though
6:48 pm
bichon

I think more garlic is grown in China
6:48 pm
rururocks

that's galric... in chinese
6:49 pm
bichon

Yes, that area is great for artichokes
6:50 pm

Nef

hi lbd. How are you doing today?
9:10 pm
lbdawger

Sorry, was watching Doctor Who.
9:14 pm
Nef

NP, lbd. Only Dr.Who needs total attention (for me & my house, at least)
9:21 pm
lbdawger

I dont know if its the sound mix or just peter capsldi, i have a hard time understanding him
9:24 pm
Nef

I thought it was just me! It does seem to be easier to understand him at the end of the episode, so maybe it is the accent?
9:25 pm
lbdawger

I get frustrated trying to figure oit what he's said.
9:27 pm
Nef

yeah, it might be easier to watch a whole season at once so you can tune in to his accent
9:28 pm
grannyrose

and i thought it was just me. he has a strange scottish accent which i find almost incomprehensible. it is taking all the fun out of watching dr who.
9:28 pm
Nef

I wonder if it's got closed captions yet?
9:29 pm
grannyrose

th4's a thought. good one nef. oh, and hello to lbd and nef. *sigh* my manners are getting worse and worse.
9:29 pm
Nef

SO far it's only those of us of "a certain age" that are complaining about it. My DH and I have problems, our son & grandson don't.
9:30 pm
lbdawger

I'm just glad its not just me. I agree Rose tskes the fun out of watching the show whrn you need an interpreter
9:30 pm
Nef

hi grannyrose.
9:30 pm
lbdawger

Hiya Rose!
9:31 pm
Nef

it bothers me when I'm always asking "what did he say?" and the younger people get upset!
9:31 pm
grannyrose

wh4 is even stranger is MIL was scottish, and hubby finds him hard to understand too.
9:32 pm
lbdawger

Hubz said close captioning probably in scottish
9:32 pm
Nef

So, maybe it's just us older folks?
9:32 pm
Nef

LOL! Wouldn't that be a Hoot, lvd? :-)
9:33 pm
grannyrose

* giggle * lbd.
9:34 pm
Nef

lbd (sorry, having trouble with spellcheck)
9:34 pm
grannyrose

ahhh, peter capaldi is from glascow. MIL always said th4 they speak weirdly th5.
9:34 pm
lbdawger

David tennant and matt smith are both scots, and easily understood. Maybe mr capalldi needs a speech therapist
9:34 pm
Nef

LOL! that's hilarious, granny rose!
9:35 pm
lbdawger

Well, he needs to enunciate!
9:36 pm
Nef

I agree, lbd
9:37 pm
lbdawger

At first I thought it was his voice pitch, but there are tomes he is understandable
9:37 pm
lbdawger

Tomes--times
9:37 pm
grannyrose

agreed, lbd. david and matt did speak very clearly. peter doesn't se4 to take the trouble to use his facial muscles and lips.
9:38 pm
lbdawger

Yes, a mumbler
9:38 pm
grannyrose

it's almost like he is muttering his lines.
9:38 pm
Nef

I was going to blame it on his being older; but he isn't even my age so that isn't it.
9:38 pm
lbdawger

Marble mouth
9:38 pm
grannyrose

lol, snap lbd.
9:40 pm
lbdawger

He need elocution lessons from 'enry 'iggins
9:41 pm
Nef

Maybe he thinks that since he's a curmudgeon he should mutter?
9:42 pm
Nef

I've only seen him in 1 1/2 episodes so far; but he sure seems grumpy to me
9:43 pm
lbdawger

Well, he plays the curmudgeon well.
9:44 pm
lbdawger

He's a darker character, for sure
9:45 pm
grannyrose

sorry, i just realised my keyboard was in dire need of a clean. big dollops of fluff under the keys.
9:46 pm
lbdawger

Oh no, monkey fluff
9:46 pm
grannyrose

i don't think he is going to last more than one season. i'm sure the producers have been inundated with complaints.
9:47 pm
lbdawger

But will that mean a 13th doctor?
9:47 pm
Nef

yes. I keep hoping he'll lighten up a bit. Even the first Doctor Who started out grumpy but became funnier as time went on
9:48 pm
grannyrose

probably..the show is going to lose it's rating if they don't replace him.
9:48 pm
Nef

I really don't imagine that they'd stop doing Dr. Who shows when it's become so popular
9:49 pm
Nef

I think that there wasn't supposed to be a 12th doctor, was there?
9:49 pm
lbdawger

If not replace then at least get him a speech coach.
9:51 pm
Nef

Very true, lbd. It does make you wonder why they chose him if he can't speak clearer
9:53 pm
lbdawger

You're right Nef, about not having a 12th doctor, i think technically capaldi is number13 or 14 if you count the reincarnation of #10 and john hurt who played the warrior doctor.
9:56 pm
Nef

Oh my. Now I'll have to go do some homework on the Doctors. You've lost me there...
9:58 pm
Nef

I do have the Doctor Who Visual Dictionary right here now(It belongs to my 5 year old grandson though, not mine)
9:59 pm
lbdawger

David tennent regroups with Rose and she "creates a second doctor from hos hand. But the second only has one heart

10:01 pm

Hi stid, just getting teady to log off, been a long day.
10:01 pm

whoot!! {{hugs}} stiddy
10:01 pm

Hi stid! How are you?
10:02 pm
stidmama

(((LBD))) sorry I missed visiting with you. Hope tomorrow will be a little better.
10:02 pm
stidmama

the 8th doctor was fun...
10:02 pm
stidmama

Sylvester McCoy, I think...
10:03 pm
stidmama

oh no -- Sylvester was #7. Paul McGann played the Doctor for a New Year's special in the states. He's #8
10:03 pm
lbdawger

Warrior doctor played by john hurt in the last show with matt smith, it was the 50th anniversary or close to it. And on that thought, sweet dreams my friends.
10:03 pm
stidmama

sweet dreams dear LBD
10:05 pm
Nef

I'm very familiar with Dr.s 1 through 6; can't remember much of the 7th one, and nothing of the 8th; I've seen maybe 1 or2 episodes with the 9th doctor, and ALL of the 10th and 11th doctors (Ronald absolutely loves them!
10:05 pm
grannyrose

sleep well, lbd. nice catching up with you
10:05 pm
Nef

Niters, lbd. Sleepwell!
10:08 pm
Nef

Oh! Just looked up who John Hurt is; and I remember seeing him in that 50th Anniversary episode and wondered if he was going to be the next Doctor.
10:08 pm
stidmama

McGann was only doctor for one TV movie, not a series like the others. If you missed that show, you missed him. :-)
10:11 pm
Nef

LOL! It's pretty funny that so many of us are Dr. Who fans.
10:14 pm
stidmama

true, although I think highly intelligent people tend to be interested in many obscure things...
10:15 pm
Nef

Well, Thank You for the implied compliment, stid! :-D
10:15 pm
stidmama

must be slipping... meant for it to be overt!
10:15 pm

10:15 pm

well th4 puts me out of the picture then....lol....brain shrinking.
10:16 pm
stidmama

ha! NBT and halfway without a list... but I am tired. It is stormy here and I spent most of today NOT doing school things... LOL
10:16 pm
stidmama

silly GR!
10:17 pm
grannyrose

*giggle* did you get my suggestion of vitamin e cream and a stress ball for your son?
10:17 pm
Nef

Stid, you need to have somedays off (as far as school) because if you don't you'll burn out too soon
10:17 pm
stidmama

Also, Grant update -- his tendons were repaired, but there seems to be some adhesion. So he is supposed to go to work (light duty) on Monday, but I have asked him to call the doc on his break Monday and find out how the adhesions will be addressed...
10:17 pm
stidmama

Missed the stress ball suggestion!
10:18 pm
stidmama

I DO take days off (also evenings) -- I go in early as a morning person I get a LOT done before school. Then I stay as late as I need to be ready for the next day (only about one extra hour nowadays).
10:19 pm
Nef

There are actually some balls for PT that come in different amounts of softness. A stress ball will help
10:19 pm
Nef

he needs to move that hand to prevent adhesions
10:19 pm
grannyrose

it is a very good form of physio for the hands. easy to do, any wh5, any time
10:19 pm
stidmama

Then once I am home I rest, and most weekends now I don't spend much time at all. But I am gearing up for what I hope will be a fun unit for the kiddos starting week after next, so that is what tomorrow is for.
10:19 pm
stidmama

Too late to prevent adhesions... :-( they are there.
10:20 pm
stidmama

I will find something for him, tomorrow I have to do some shopping anyway.
10:20 pm
grannyrose

the massage with the cream will help. they can be broken down th4 way, plus the exercise. it all helps.
10:20 pm
Nef

They can be stretched though.
10:21 pm
grannyrose

and don't forget th5 will still be some swelling in the soft tissues around the scar and inside.
10:21 pm
stidmama

Okay, I can get vit E cream ... actually have some lanolin ointment that has vitamin E, so maybe can use that for now.
10:22 pm
Nef

I went and looked to see if I had the original packing for my balls; I have a very soft yellow and (I think) a red one, but I can't find my 2nd ball right now. Doing the continuous exercises (for hands) will stretch them
10:22 pm
stidmama

brb
10:22 pm
grannyrose

of course, stid.
10:24 pm
stidmama

found a very soft toy he can squish for now, and the ointment. :-D I feel better, just having a little something I can do for him.
10:24 pm
grannyrose

i wonder if the lanolin might not make it a little 'sticky' to rub in.
10:24 pm
Nef

I had my hand surgery 2 years ago next month and I still have swelling and tenderness (I have arthritis in my hands and the joints are bad). If I don't work my hands every day then the adhesions start up again.
10:25 pm
stidmama

Thank you for your advice! Since I haven't been going to doctor appointments, I don't have the ability to ask and remember answers to questions.
10:25 pm
Nef

Tell Grant to ask for PT so he learns what and how to exercise his hands
10:26 pm
stidmama

OH, the wind is AWFUL tonight! I hope our power doesn't go out... we have the generator ready to go, but no spigots for the propane yet. Have to call the gas plumber and get those installed!
10:26 pm
grannyrose

wh4 sort of light duties are they going to give him?
10:26 pm
stidmama

We are pushing him to get PT. He needs to take care of things now, so he doesn't impact his musicianship...
10:26 pm
Nef

Where is his injury and how bad are the adhesions?
10:26 pm
stidmama

I have no idea, GR -- he works construction and doesn't have doctor permission to actually use that hand to work yet...
10:26 pm
grannyrose

poor stid. you have so much happening around you.
10:27 pm
stidmama

He sliced open the back of one hand, cutting into a couple extensor tendons a month ago, Nef - surgery four days later to tie them back together...
10:27 pm
Nef

what instrument does he play?
10:27 pm
grannyrose

i keep forgetting to ask...was it his dominant hand he injured?
10:27 pm
Nef

(hopefully not, GR)
10:28 pm
stidmama

He was actually cleared for "light duty" a week after the accident, but the company didn't call him to come work until for the coming week. And yes, his dominant hand, but since he is coping really well I suspect he may have latent ambidextrousness (I am ambidextrous, only mild dominance on one side)
10:29 pm
nrkii

Hi Stid (and everyone)!
10:29 pm
stidmama

He plays the guitar, tuba and trombone; used to play the fiddle... was starting to pick up the piano before the fire, and still wants to pick it up once we can get a new piano.
10:29 pm
stidmama

NRK!!!! **bounce bounce**
10:29 pm
Nef

Why did they delay surgery? Too much contamination?
10:30 pm
Nef

Hi nrkii!
10:30 pm
nrkii

Quick note on hands... when I dislocated and fractured a finger, I had to go to PT/OT. One of the key lessons for me was to study what I could do with that finger with my OTHER hand, and work myself towards the goal of doing exactly the same with the injured one. It helped me when I wasn't actually in PT to look at it that way. Need to hit same range of motion, same extension, same movement, etc.
10:30 pm
grannyrose

g'day nrkii
10:31 pm
stidmama

No, I think it was a combination of not being sure how much damage had really been done and having to arrange with labor and industries for the gov't insurance to pay for it all.
10:31 pm
Nef

Great idea, nrkii.
10:31 pm
stidmama

good idea NRK -- he is scheduled for PT once the doc approves, I think.
10:32 pm
stidmama

I cannot believe it's only 8:30 here. I feel as if it's midnight. Might go soak in my tub (haven't done that for a couple weeks) and pretend I am a princess getting ready to go to the ball....
10:32 pm
nrkii

It took a while, but I got back about 95% of what I had. The only thing is I am still (11 years later) not quite able to straighten that finger. But it can DO what it is supposed to do. Every other range of motion target was met. And the stress balls and silly putty helped a lot.
10:32 pm
nrkii

Silly putty is way more fun though.
10:33 pm
stidmama

That's great news, NRK -- I hope he can regain full function because he is a brilliant musician.
10:33 pm
Nef

That might take a lot of silly putty though
10:34 pm
nrkii

Get some clay or putty in addition to the stress ball. It allows you to do more different kinds of motion. Stress ball is good, but not as adaptable.
10:34 pm
nrkii

Nothing wrong with a lot of silly putty. I love silly putty. :)
10:34 pm
stidmama

btw -- tailgate??? candy for 650??? you are REALLY gearing up for Friday! LOL
10:35 pm
stidmama

I have some playdough stashed... brb
10:35 pm
Nef

if it's real play dough and you've had it stashed for a while; it may be too dry. You can make some at home that doesn't dry out
10:36 pm
nrkii

Halloween on a Friday. In this town. Last time it was on a Friday we had over 600, so I am just hoping I don't run out!
10:36 pm
nrkii

Thank goodness for Walmart (or Target, depending on the year) and affordable large bags of candy.
10:38 pm
Nef

Well, it isn't very cheap this year, is it? My son bought 2 big bags of candy yesterday for the "Trunk or Treat" at church ; maybe 400 pieces or so, and it cost $35.00
10:39 pm
stidmama

Okay, the playdough is some I bought last year as "prizes" for the middle schoolers -- still good! Little mini tubs. :-)
10:40 pm
Nef

Halloween hasn't been that big here the last several years (I think the malls have really encouraged kids to come to their programs and trick or treating here so the neighborhoods are pretty quiet on Halloween)
10:40 pm
stidmama

I also located a couple other things that I had stashed... hand puppets! :-)
10:40 pm
nrkii

Oh my! I bought over 2,000 pieces of candy today. Came to $120, which works out to less than 20-cents per kid with each kid getting 3 small pieces. I can live with that. Not cheap, but nothing like what some of my neighbors spend.
10:40 pm

evening all :)
10:41 pm

Wow, Nrkii! You do go crazy in your town then!
10:41 pm

PINI!!!!! *cups runneth over and spills all over living room floor*
10:41 pm

Yay for playdough.

Between that, the stress ball, and studying the good hand to set goals for the bad hand, Grant will be well on his way I hope!!
10:41 pm
Pinikula

WOW...that's a lot...I only buy what I can carry on my walk with my dog (we go "Reverse Trick-or-Treating"
10:42 pm

STID!!!
10:42 pm

stid, that sounds great! will Grant try and use both the play dough and the puppets?
10:42 pm

I don't "do" Halloween -- will have a harvest party on friday for my students, play games, do art and eat some yummy food. Other than that... they have quite enough excitement! LOL

yes pini??? you are rich and giving me a new car????? *hopeful little sister look*
