Lizlin

Did you get through the dentist appt OK.

2:12 am

Lizlin

Sprite, what was the websi4 that you found?

2:12 am

sprite

oh Liz, when we arrived there (it is easily a 45 minute's drive), we found that the dentist was ill and we had to go home again.

2:13 am

Lizlin

Oh! You poor thing. What an anticlimax for you.

2:13 am

sprite

Liz:
http://toriavey.com/

2:13 am

sprite

it really was. I felt so deflated. And now to have to go through all that again soon. Ah well, lots of worse things in the world, right?

2:13 am

Lizlin

Ah yes. I looked at that one earlier. Looked good.

2:14 am

Lizlin

But I make my mums recipe.

2:14 am

Lizlin

Right. It'll be OK

2:15 am

sprite

I love the tradition, Liz. Wish I had a dish I learned from my mother. But alas.

2:17 am

Lizlin

Most of the traditional food I make is from my mum. Wish I'd got more - the ones not in her recipe book but in her he4

2:17 am

sprite

my mother couldn't cook to save her life, lol.

2:18 am

Lizlin

:( I was very lucky there.

2:19 am

sprite

:) I can use recipes from my friends (hint hint) and from the internet. Am making a collection of my favorites. And my family's favorites.

2:20 am

Lizlin

I can give recipes. I gave you some - what do you like?

2:20 am

sprite

2:34 am

grannyrose

second di7, think sickness

2:35 am

Lizlin

Thanks for the movie. Wouldn't have thought of that.

2:35 am

Lizlin

How was the visit?

2:36 am

grannyrose

ga8, a plural of the state of being gay or cheerful

2:36 am

sprite

<---- loves bruce willis. Back, btw. Meds taken, coffee made, dishwasher emptied and partly refilled.

2:36 am

grannyrose

visit was good. god, i love those two....they are so sweet together.

2:37 am

Lizlin

Also back.

2:37 am

Lizlin

:)

2:37 am

sprite

wb :)

2:37 am

sprite

who did you visit with, rose?

2:38 am

grannyrose

josh and jen dropped in sprite

2:38 am

sprite

oh how lovely, rose.

2:38 am

sprite

thanks for the 8s

2:39 am

grannyrose

jen had a couple of rechargeable batteries which she thought might suit don's nikon camera.

2:39 am

grannyrose

ugh, sorry sprite.

2:39 am

sprite

oh nice. And did they?

2:40 am

sprite

np rose :) I thought I'd evaded them by going downstairs, but I was too fast. Good clues :)

2:40 am

grannyrose

nope....don checked...they only work with sony cameras.

2:40 am

sprite

what a pity :( Nothing eats batteries like a camera.

2:41 am

grannyrose

they were incorrect when she ordered them from a web-si4. they sent the wrong ones, and it is cheaper for them to resend the correct ones.

2:42 am

sprite

would be nice if those worked.

2:42 am

sprite

my girl has her birthday next week and I just got an email that her last present will be sent to me today. So I have it all in time :)

2:43 am

Lizlin

That's great. She'll be very happy. What did you get her?

2:44 am

grannyrose

interesting...i have anaphylaxis to suxamethonium. they are showing that there is a correlation between a cough syrup containing pholcodine and sux anaphylaxis.

2:44 am

sprite

I have a whole bunch of material for her to make earrings and hairbands with... leather strings, feathers, connecting rings and tubes. Plus pliers and glue. And chaps for riding and a jacket.

2:45 am

grannyrose

and pholcodine is the only cough syrup i can take because of my elevated BP.

2:45 am

Lizlin

Sounds like she's a very lucky lady.

2:45 am

sprite

um... you lost me there, rose. You have what for which?

2:45 am

Lizlin

That isn't good rose.

2:46 am

grannyrose

suxamethonium is a muscle relaxant used during surgery.

2:46 am

sprite

yeah, she is, Liz, grin. Tim told me he is giving her sweets and tickets for a movie. And I suggested Rob give her a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

2:46 am

grannyrose

the last time i had sux i crashed on the table.

2:46 am

Lizlin

I understood the anaphylaxis and the link to the cough syrup but not much else!

2:46 am

Lizlin

:)

2:47 am

sprite

ok, so you have severe allergic reactions to something they use in surgery? And it is found in the only cough sirup you can take?

2:47 am

grannyrose

sprite, i hope she appreciates all you have gone to the trouble to find for her.

2:47 am

Lizlin

Down to 40 here. Enough for the time being. Hugs to you both.

2:48 am

grannyrose

there seems to be a link to using the cough syrup and an allergic reaction to the muscle relaxant.

2:48 am

sprite

oh she will. Caya is very appreciative. And she knows how hard it is to find the things she wants... she is all about natural colours and materials. Nowadays, every feather you can buy is painted.

2:48 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* Bye!

2:48 am

grannyrose

later liz. and dinner is ready. xoxox

2:49 am

sprite

bye rose, enjoy your dinner, darling

3:01 am

grannyrose

and back

3:01 am

sprite

wb darling. Good dinner?

3:02 am

grannyrose

yummy.....macaroni cheese with grilled tomato slices on top.

3:02 am

sprite

oh sounds lovely

3:04 am

grannyrose

sprite, the weight is starting to come off. two weeks into the di4, i have lost nearly 4 kg, that is close to 9lb.

3:05 am

grannyrose

don is doing it too, and already tightening his belt a couple of holes.

3:05 am

sprite

very nice, rose!! Slow and certain, that is the way. I take it you don't really di4? Just eat regular and make healthy choices?

3:06 am

sprite

and no snacking, of course, unless healthy, lol

3:06 am

grannyrose

yup....exactly....lots of salad stuff and lots of raw vegs.

3:07 am

grannyrose

carefully portioned meals...tonight's dinner was only 300 calories.

3:07 am

sprite

very good. And plenty of fluids, like water and tea. Exercise as far as you are able to. And good night's sleep too.

3:08 am

sprite

I have learned that it is very important to let your body have everything it needs. If not, your body goes into hibernation mode and will hold on to fat.

3:08 am

grannyrose

i figured the weight loss would help my hips.

3:09 am

sprite

it will, no doubt. Our extra weight is taxing for our hips etc.

3:10 am

sprite

I have been messing around with snacking for the last week. All the stress around dentist and family issues... so I grabbed myself together this morning and will be making better choices again.

3:14 am

grannyrose

sprite, as you know, i have been in a deep dark hole since my surgery december 2013. i am now being motivated to stuff, like di4ing.

3:15 am

sprite

I know, sweetie, and no wonder you had a tough time with it all. It is amazing that you are ready now to take it back on. *hugs*

3:16 am

grannyrose

it is great that don is prepared to do it too. it gives me such confidence to keep on going.

3:17 am

grannyrose

sprite, have you seen/he5 from rubyfoo lately?

3:17 am

sprite

as long as it isn't a diet in the popular sense, but just healthy eating, it is good for everybody. If you can have 5 or 6 eating moments in the day, 3 meals and 2 or 3 healthy snacks, and make sure you get everything your body needs, you can be certain of success.

3:17 am

sprite

not in the last few days, no

3:18 am

grannyrose

am doing it, sprite. okay, i think i had better email her and find out if all is okay.

3:19 am

sprite

you rocks, girl :)

3:20 am

grannyrose

and i am allowing us two days off/week. not going overboard, but to give us some 'down' time as well.

3:20 am

sprite

very good!

3:22 am

grannyrose

it's surprising...eating properly for 5 days seems to stem the appetite somewhat. so on our 'down' days we are still eating better.

3:22 am

sprite

at the clinic we were taught to differentiate between healthy choices, middle way ones and exceptions. Healthy choices normally, middle way only sometimes and exceptions (you've guessed it) rarely. It is liberating to know there are no forbidden foods, that way.

3:23 am

sprite

oh yes. Our bodies can be trained that way.

3:24 am

sprite

fireflies

3:24 am

grannyrose

plus...i did tell you about the big box of different diabetic sweets don's brother gave us for christmas....we allow ourselves just a small portion after dinner if we need something else.

3:25 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!!

3:25 am

sprite

yeah, awesome :)

3:26 am

sprite

am off to answer emails, darling. I hope you will sleep well tonight. Was today any better?

3:26 am

grannyrose

yes love, thanx. enjoy your day as best you can...xoxox

3:27 am

sprite

*hugs* for my friends. And to you all, a blessed day and a peaceful night.

7:10 am

sukee

Hi Annie

7:12 am

Anniebrook

How cold is it in Kitchener?

7:13 am

sukee

Actually, today is milder. It's about -6C. We are expecting snow today.

7:13 am

Anniebrook

Expecting snow tonight..right now 17 degrees

7:14 am

sukee

Ah, so it's a bit cooler where you are. I checked and -6 is 21F :)

7:14 am

Anniebrook

thanks for the translation

7:15 am

sukee

I guess you are relieved you did not get as much snow as Boston.

7:16 am

Anniebrook

Very much so. The mayor closed all roads and streets in NYC. I live near the ocean. I thought it was going to be another Sandy. What a relief but I feel for the people who got it bad.

7:17 am

sukee

Yes, I know someone on Cape Cod and they had to be evacuated because their power went out.

7:17 am

Anniebrook

During super storm Sandy I saw my car float away.

7:17 am

sukee

Oh boy.

7:18 am

MollyL

Sandy ate Annie's car

7:19 am

sukee

I feel like I keep finding the same words over and over.

7:19 am

Anniebrook

Hi Molly, Just about. Then we had no electricity, no heat and no water. Lasted in the apartment for 2 days. Liz called and asked if we had enough and she she came and got us. We walked down 24 flights shlepping luggage. We were at her house for 12 days. I thought it was going to be the same thing.

7:20 am

MollyL

I would be terrified to live on a floor that high, for just that reason.

7:21 am

Anniebrook

Im used to it and the view is fabulous

7:21 am

sukee

I used to live on the 18th floor. Once when the power was out I walked down. By the time i got there I couldn't walk to work :)

7:21 am

sukee

Now I am on the 9th, still hard for me if I will ever have to take the stairs, but better.

7:22 am

Anniebrook

lve walked up 24 floors too, better walking down. LOL. But my thighs hurt for 2 days.

7:23 am

MollyL

Couldn't do it (acrophobic)

7:23 am

sukee

I'm off for now, take care.

7:24 am

Anniebrook

bye sukee

7:25 am

Anniebrook

my son in law won't go out on my terrace. He always lived in a home.

7:27 am

MollyL

A friend sent me pictures of the view from her 50th floor vacation condo in Florida. I got dizzy looking at them.

7:28 am

Uneaixoise

OMG can't stop watching the Uptown Funk video!!

7:42 am

MollyL

Bruno Mars is one of the few young musicians out there that I can tolerate.

7:42 am

Trifioso

that song is a gift from heaven, une....cheers me up no matter what

7:42 am

Uneaixoise

i love him!!!

7:42 am

Uneaixoise

me too, trif!!

7:43 am

Trifioso

he is a fine looking young man as well...wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers, as they say

7:43 am

MollyL

My son will have the radio on, and Uptown Funk will play and I will say to him "See, this is what music USED to be like". Then we are back to lame Taylor Swift and Iggy Azalea.

7:43 am

Uneaixoise

INDEED!!!

7:43 am

Trifioso

whoo! I'm getting all hot and bothered here....

7:44 am

MollyL

Trif, only church ladies add the "for eating crackers" part.
: P

7:44 am

Uneaixoise

Molly, I totally agree -- first time I saw the video I couldn't believe what a blast from the past it was style/rhythm-wise!!

7:45 am

Trifioso

I think maybe I am a church lady, molly

7:46 am

MollyL

Well isn't that special : D

7:46 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

7:46 am

Trifioso

well now, who could that be....hmmmm...SATAN?

7:49 am

Uneaixoise

looking forward to the SNL 40-yr anniversary show in February :-)

7:49 am

Trifioso

are any of the 8s compounds please?

7:49 am

bubba218

7:50 am

Uneaixoise

have ga8 and it's not

7:50 am

bubba218

other two are, I guess thats most

7:50 am

phaeton

di7 and di8 are compounds

7:51 am

Uneaixoise

:-) don't have the other 2 yet

7:51 am

Trifioso

thanks. Got the ga8 from the count, will look for the other two. xoxo

7:51 am

Trifioso

okay. have one di8 now....

7:51 am

Trifioso

you guys are the best.

7:52 am

bubba218

sorry di, sic, plural is not, so two out of three arfe not. mea culpa

7:52 am

bubba218

sic should be sick

7:52 am

Trifioso

sick did it. Thanks! nbs, nbt

7:53 am

Uneaixoise

tx for the di8 "ill" :-)

7:53 am

MollyL

And plural should be past tense

7:54 am

bubba218

I'm wrong again, starting to notice a pattern

7:54 am

car.eeyore

Hello

7:54 am

Trifioso

hello car my dearest love! How are you today?

7:55 am

Uneaixoise

aaahhh found the di8 Bruce Willis word!

7:55 am

Uneaixoise

hey car :-)

7:55 am

car.eeyore

Better. You?

7:55 am

bubba218

Anyone have the de6, my last word and can't find it.

7:55 am

Uneaixoise

de + almost "smell"

7:56 am

MollyL

Sounds like the beginning of what your roll on your armpits

7:56 am

Trifioso

dragon woman took the students on an all day field trip, and of COURSE left me behind again, so I am having an easy day, thank god, as my head is still SPINNING. This vertigo is the worst

7:56 am

bubba218

Thanks, fini!!!

7:56 am

Uneaixoise

congrats, bubba!

7:56 am

car.eeyore

You might have a bit of an ear infection going on. Be careful.

7:56 am

MollyL

Trif is ♪dizzy♫ her head is spinning♫like a whirlpool it never ends♪

7:57 am

Trifioso

its going to be a long ass day, but I will slog through.

7:57 am

Uneaixoise

ooohhh vertigo is the pits :-(

7:58 am

Trifioso

'tis

7:58 am

MollyL

Um, you aren't driving with that are you?

7:58 am

Trifioso

I miss the nap room at Bain. In retrospect, having a nap room at work RULED

7:58 am

Trifioso

I am indeed molly. No other choice

7:59 am

car.eeyore

It was technically a sick room, dear.

7:59 am

car.eeyore

Whoops...

7:59 am

Uneaixoise

i used to work with a friend who had lots of sinus infections that were always accompanied by vertigo

7:59 am

Trifioso

I just laugh thinking about it, and the shenanigans Resale Rawhide and I got into in there....

8:00 am

Trifioso

Not THAT kind Molly, relax!

8:01 am

car.eeyore

phantom: lardass

8:01 am

Trifioso

hahaha - I tried "lardo"

8:01 am

Trifioso

"Phantom Lardass" is a decent band name

8:02 am

car.eeyore

Good Lord...someone is very stir crazy.

8:02 am

Trifioso

Abigail?

8:02 am

car.eeyore

Yup

8:03 am

Trifioso

I wish I could see her today....

8:03 am

car.eeyore

Me too

8:03 am

Trifioso

I am going VERY late to the swim meet, wish I had time to scoop her, but I won't. And it will be all hot and loud in there, so probs not suitable

8:04 am

car.eeyore

Oh God no. She would be so confused and you would be miserable.

8:04 am

car.eeyore

It is what it is.

8:04 am

Trifioso

Im wearing knitted tights, two sweaters, and a wool kilt today. "Miserable" is inevitable.

8:07 am

Trifioso

okay, it's official. I cannot use algebra to find the slope of a line, and I have until 1:44 to figure out how to teach it to the student I am tutoring, or I am SCREWED.

8:07 am

car.eeyore

I managed NBT and NBS...progress

8:08 am

josephjames

I can help you with that Trif

8:08 am

josephjames

you have an equation for a line. you just need to rearrange the equation until it is in the format y = mx + b and then, m will be the slope.

8:08 am

Trifioso

thanks joseph! Meet me at my student's house at 2 please. :)

8:09 am

Trifioso

I get that part, but I get lost when I try to plug the actual numbers in, and half of them are negative, and then you have to get all algebraic and multiply and divide each side, and my head explodes.

8:10 am

josephjames

you don't need to plug the numbers in if all you want to do is find the slope.

8:10 am

josephjames

if you multiple/divide by a negative, it changes the sign.

8:11 am

josephjames

whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other side.

8:11 am

josephjames

If you want to give me an example problem I can walk you through it.

8:13 am

MollyL

Eeee, this is like that nightmare I have about being back in high school algebra class.

8:13 am

josephjames

Those with math phobia may want to turn off chat.

8:14 am

car.eeyore

I am kind of curious....

8:17 am

Trifioso

ummm. Let's try this one: y = 1/2x - 1

8:18 am

josephjames

ok so the slope is 1/2

8:18 am

josephjames

the y-intercept is -1

8:19 am

Angelsong

greetings, all. a clue for the last de, please?

8:19 am

josephjames

you can plot it just from that, put the y-intercept on, and for each other point go up 1 and over 2. (or down one and back two)

8:21 am

Trifioso

Thanks Joseph....seriously thanks.

8:22 am

josephjames

No problem, if you need help with plugging something in and rearranging equations we can do that too.

8:23 am

Trifioso

how about this: Ken has a weekly goal of burning 2400 calories by taking brisk walks. The equation y= -300x +2400 represents the number of calories y Ken has left to burn after x hours of walking which burns 300 calories per hour.

8:23 am

Trifioso

write the slope as a fraction

8:24 am

josephjames

well the slope is -300. people get thrown off by whole numbers when they are told to write it as a fraction, but a whole number counts as a fraction, basically. or you can write it as -300/1 if you want to be a stickler.

8:26 am

Trifioso

my head hurts. I just need to practice, I think

8:27 am

josephjames

why does that make your head hurt if the last one didn't? it's the same thing, -300 is next to the x, that is the slope. last time 1/2 was next to the x, so that was the slope.

8:27 am

car.eeyore

Her head literallly hurts...she is getting over the same stomach bug I had

8:27 am

josephjames

if you have to write a whole number as a fraction you just stick a 1 under it.

8:28 am

Trifioso

so in y=1/2x - 3, the slope is 1/2 and the y intercept is -3?

8:28 am

josephjames

correct

8:29 am

josephjames

BUT, what if I said, 2x + 3y = 6 ? now can you find them?

8:30 am

Trifioso

nope

8:30 am

Trifioso

I feel like some sort of division is needed?

8:30 am

josephjames

so this is the rearranging part. we want to have the form y = mx + b in order to easily see the slope and y intercept.

8:30 am

josephjames

so we have to rearrange things until we have that format.

8:30 am

josephjames

you move the furthest away things from the y, first.

8:30 am

Trifioso

so it would be 3y = 2x +6?

8:31 am

josephjames

aha, no. you see, in order to get rid of 2x on the left, you have to SUBTRACT 2x (2x - 2x = 0). and whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other side. so that means you SUBTRACT 2x on the right, which means, it is -2x

8:32 am

josephjames

3y = 2x + 6. now is where, you are right, dividing is necessary. because the y is MULTIPLIED by three, so we DIVIDE by 3, to get rid of it.

8:33 am

josephjames

whoops now I didn't write the negative, haha

8:33 am

josephjames

3y = -2x + 6

8:33 am

Trifioso

y = -2/3x+2?

8:34 am

josephjames

that is correct!

8:34 am

Trifioso

slope is -2/3, y intercept is 2?

8:34 am

josephjames

yes indeed!

8:34 am

car.eeyore

Woot!

8:34 am

Trifioso

I am completely and utterly in love with you right now, josephjames

8:34 am

josephjames

Fine. Out today for the first time since Sunday.

1:27 pm

hego

But I don't mind that.

1:28 pm

Nef

The good news is he's still walking; but his gut is pretty upset. (with his MS; any sickness knocks him down. He usually can't walk and ends up in the hospital). I'm hoping this won't get that bad.

1:29 pm

hego

Hope not

1:30 pm

We had about a foot of snow.

4:00 pm

mkg

ok i have tried this over and over..........and it is like gay-i and then he t*** his shoes. but it wont take.

4:00 pm

westford

that ga clue isn't working for me either

4:00 pm

MollyL

How does someone "enjoy" 28 inches of snow?
: O

4:01 pm

westford

4:01 pm

4:01 pm

mkg

i love a big snow storm. i stay home and read books. i cook. i bake. and i go for walks in it as much as i can manage.

4:02 pm

penquis

do you have to shovel it?

4:02 pm

westford

that did it..thanks pen and lyn

4:02 pm

penquis

yw...

4:02 pm

mkg

ty lynxxx. i was missing the third vowel. whew. i knew it didnt look right and couldnt figure it out. ty.

4:02 pm

westford

biggest fear is losing power

4:02 pm

penquis

left off one asterix in my original clue...

4:02 pm

mkg

i do shovel it sometimes. but i hire also.

4:03 pm

mkg

need third 8 letter word if anyone has it.

4:03 pm

westford

our driveway is so small that our van covers most of it

4:03 pm

mkg

westford is right. if power is on all is well. when you lose heat and lights you are in bad shape.

4:04 pm

penquis

i shovel it all the time...and i don't normally mind it too much, but i have tendonitis in my right forearm, so it's a bit tedious....and this will be wet snow....the plow guy will create a snow bank in front of my car...

4:04 pm

mkg

need that third 8 please. what is stat?

4:04 pm

lynxxx

d18.55 the opposite of born and softs

If I could stay home and hire people to shovel I might enjoy snow more.

4:04 pm

wvteach

DI 8 x 2 and GA 8

4:04 pm

penquis

me, too, lol....

4:05 pm

westford

so true about the snow plows blocking the end of the driveway

4:05 pm

penquis

i don't normally lose power or heat....lucky that way....but this snow will be heavy, so downed power lines are possible....

4:05 pm

mkg

looking for other di 8. is it similar to the other one? or same base word?

4:05 pm

penquis

someone just clued it...

4:05 pm

wvteach

4:05 pm

penquis

westford

a while ago you mentioned cooking dinner for 100 / what did you do with the chicken..I remember soy sauce on one

4:16 pm

westford

maybe that was one batch ?

4:19 pm

MollyL

Cooking dinner for 100? Dear God.

4:20 pm

westford

my hat is off to her that's for sure

4:21 pm

MollyL

If I can ever afford to entertain 100 people, I will assume I can afford caterers. : D

4:21 pm

penquis

me, too!!!

4:23 pm

westford

if I remember correctly she did it in stages..cooked and froze etc

4:25 pm

westford

well tonight we are having baby back ribs cooked in the crock pot with Sweet Baby Ray

4:26 pm

penquis

i am having a steak salad...bought it, lol....

4:26 pm

westford

now that's a picture !

4:27 pm

MollyL

*Sigh* We had to give up Sweet Baby Ray. Cutting down on products with corn syrup. Good stuff though. Your dinner sounds good, West.

4:28 pm

westford

cousin's recipe..couldn't be easier

4:29 pm

westford

I didn't even check the ingredients I'm bad

4:31 pm

westford

honey on the label so maybe...

4:37 pm

MollyL

Not sure what kind you have West. High fructose corn syrup is the first ingredient on the bottles I used to get.

4:38 pm

westford

better go back to making my own

4:44 pm

MollyL

Lots of words in this grid that don't make it into my everyday vocabulary

4:44 pm

MollyL

But then, what's new?

4:48 pm

westford

I'm sure I'll be using the ja 6 from now on

Nef

We will. you take care, Annie

5:42 pm

Nef

Molly, my son stopped by today with gatoraid and medications; he wore a gas mask to come in! (I told him it was much more important for him to wash his hands!)

5:42 pm

MollyL

Seriously? I was just joking about the disinfectant. Is he that odd about germs?

5:44 pm

Nef

We all got gas masks the first Christmas he was married to his ex.

5:45 pm

Nef

I'd told him to stay away because I didn't want them to get sick; he was taking me seriously but had to get something out of the basement here

5:50 pm

Nef

No one needs clues? Then I'm off. Take care everyone, Happy Babbling!
