5:55 am

6:16 am
Scrabbler
I am doing well, getting myself brave for 2 busy days of work ahead and 2 nights of on call in a row--I am a pediatrician.
6:16 am

Wow. Nice ob. Respet to you.
6:17 am
Scrabbler
And very concerned about a critically ill patient in the ICU now--she drank kerosene Sunday night.22 months old. I am so worried about her.
6:17 am
car.eeyore
Oh no! I will lift her up on the prayer list at church.
6:18 am
Scrabbler
Car, actually I need to remember to drink water and pee so I don't get a UTI.
6:18 am
medusa
Poor little mite. Will keep her in my prayers
6:18 am
car.eeyore
breathe..drink...pee.
6:18 am
ivesy3
scrab mind if i ask you a medical question?
6:18 am
Scrabbler
Yes, please, Car. Her name is Aaliyah and she is critically ill, on a ventilator.
6:18 am
Scrabbler
Sure, ivesy.
6:19 am
car.eeyore
How horrible
6:19 am
medusa
Love medical things. I don't know why I have such an obsession with them!
6:19 am
ivesy3
ty.. i have been under dr care for two mos. for dizziness.. dr wants to do a cat scan of my head.and insurance wont approve it. is there any way to get them to change their mind
6:20 am
car.eeyore
Oh ivesy...I'm sorry they won't cover it. How absolutely stoopid.
6:21 am
ivesy3
i know. dr. cant seem to pinpoint the cause. i have to wear a patch to stop the dizziness.only thing really showin up is a twisted carotid artery
6:21 am
car.eeyore
Have you had an eye exam
6:22 am
Scrabbler
Go to Dent Institute--specialist will do MRI
6:22 am
ivesy3
yes. eyes change becuz my sugar flucuates
6:23 am
Scrabbler
If you see a specialist, the specialist will get approval typically
6:23 am
car.eeyore
OK, but nothing else showed up? CArotid artery stenosis / disease can definitely affect the vision, but so can a change in your prescription.
6:23 am
Scrabbler
Dent Institute has an office in Orchard Park on Southwestern. They will do an MRI in their own office.
6:24 am
ivesy3
ty scrab will mention this to my dr. well i think she is sending me to neurologist.
6:24 am
car.eeyore
Good. That sounds like a great option.
6:24 am
medusa
Hope you get it sorted soon ivesy
6:24 am
Scrabbler
Dent INstitute is all neurologists.
6:25 am
car.eeyore
HOpefully you won't have to wait too long for an appointment.
6:25 am
ivesy3
ok ty. it is very scary not knowing one minute to the next when the dizziness takes over.
6:25 am
car.eeyore
I will be thinking of you, Ivesy, and lifting you up as well.
6:25 am
Scrabbler
You should get in quickly as they have a huge staff of docs.
6:26 am
ivesy3
ty car.. i beleive going to the neurologist will get it approved
6:26 am
Scrabbler
Ivesy, that is where I would go. Please call for an appt this morning.
6:27 am
ivesy3
ty scrab going to go look them up..do i need my drs. approval?
6:28 am
Scrabbler
Probably not.
6:28 am
car.eeyore
ugh...7:30...time to get the second shift up. HAGD everyone. ((hugs)) all around today.
6:29 am

7:40 am
medusa
I got up late today too. Was wondering why then remembered I took a pain pill for my head yesterday evening then another one when I went to bed.
7:41 am
sprite
one strategy for this grid might be to add the endings to each and every word, don't be afraid to try. -ing, -ate, -ite, -a, -na, -ish.
7:41 am
medusa
I try them all anyway if i see them.
7:41 am

8:40 am
Angelsong

12:43 pm
bichon
is that the st 8 or the cr 7?
12:44 pm

sort of ch 1212.. one can walk in and take what ever you want. You cannot request something. You can donate only what you are able to carry.
12:44 pm

Peri, is the store staffed by volunteers then? And is the rent donated?
12:47 pm

staffed by volunteers. they were asking for donations to help pay the rent.
12:47 pm
periwinkle
apparently there are free stores in other towns
12:48 pm
periwinkle
the store was very small and I do not think it has been there long
12:48 pm

lots of people shopping but also others like me donating
12:48 pm

churches also have free stores . . .
12:48 pm

ah... locally, our hardware store owner donated his upstairs attic space for something similar, but items were a flat 25 cents no matter what it was (clothes to tv's).
12:48 pm

none of the churches near me have free stores but they do have thrift stores

I got burned donating to one church -- I had brought in a bunch of my mom's clothes . . . . a woman came in and took an armload . . . . right after she left, someone told me she does that all the time and sells the clothes for drugs . . . . bummer
12:50 pm

12:52 pm
ch1212
gosh, peri, the options are endless! Whatever you're interested in there is an organization, church, or group who would love to have more volunteers, even if you can only donate 2 hours a month.
12:53 pm
Uneaixoise
indeed -- volunteers needed in all areas
12:53 pm

volunteer to drive elderly to shops? church?
12:54 pm
ch1212
Most states have a 2-1-1 directory now, so give them a try. Dial 2-1-1 and ask them for options in your area.
I run a local online resource directory, and have a page dedicated to volunteer opportunities. Your area might have something similar.
12:54 pm

not really interested in picking up or driving anyone

Lizlin
yw - very strange word
5:56 pm
MollyL
We were informed earlier that the composer/gerund word means a man who is spending some time acting single. I'm not buying it though. It's just a weird word.
5:57 pm
Lizlin
Thanks for the info - but definitely just a weird word.
5:59 pm
MollyL
I can see it being some oddball/slang/made-up word...like...my wife is away this weekend so I'm ba7 around...but it's a stretch when it comes to the English language
6:00 pm
penquis
i was surprised to see it in the dictionary...
6:00 pm
Lizlin
That makes sense. Doesn't change my opinion though.
6:02 pm
MollyL
Then again, snog is accepted here and that is definitely an oddball/slang/made-up word. As is arvo.
6:02 pm
Lizlin
We've often said that there's no explaining Enable!
6:03 pm
Lizlin
As for all the multi-lingual words ... Some are in common English usage but others?
6:04 pm
Lizlin
The other week, looking for the word Daven, which Sprite thought I should know (correctly), it just didn't occur to me to think of looking for that word.
6:04 pm
mkg
anyone have a clue for the A words for the A bottom line? under the C?
6:05 pm
MollyL
One of the most commonly used French words by English speaking people is merci. And yet it is not in the archaic, Enable word list.
6:05 pm
Lizlin
ac 5/12 I think - a + vehicle + vowel
6:05 pm
Lizlin
No explaining it Molly!
