I love berries! But all of our blackberry bushes burned up in the Butte Fire. I hope enough come back so we can have a harvest in a year or two. There was a bear who lived somewhere in the area who loved to eat them, I hope he/she made it through the fire ok.

hi rose :D
2:07 am
grannyrose

nan, you would have loved being a fly on the wall. himself had to consult a dietician for our government funding for our care. she simply ran out of ideas re our diet. she could not fault the regime i have us on. why we are not losing weight has her utterly flummoxed.
2:10 am
cybernan

can you tell by my last 2 icons that I am struggling with the new years diet?
2:12 am

yes honey. it's such a pity. dieting should not be a stressful experience.

4:03 am
sprite

ah, the butler from the Addams family is in the grid today
4:03 am
zoozzoom

:-)
4:03 am
sprite

names that have gotten a certain meaning over time, I think, zooz. So much so that they are written without a capital.
4:04 am
zoozzoom

True even einstein!
4:05 am

4:07 am

well done, ruby
4:07 am
zoozzoom

Bye, Ruby :-)
4:08 am
sprite

toodle and oodle should be valid
4:08 am
zoozzoom

Toodle without its pips is no toodle at all :-)
4:08 am
sprite

apparently, lol. And oodles is only oodles in plural?
4:09 am
zoozzoom

Well it would then be oodles of fun!
4:10 am
sprite

exactly. Well, at least I am not completely off in thinking they are valid words.
4:10 am
zoozzoom

Hey all of the words in the babble dictionary are all valid in my eyes :-)
4:11 am
sprite

true!
4:11 am
zoozzoom

As in the babble dictionary you have created :-)
4:12 am
sprite

I do agree. We babblers know so much more about words than compilers of official dictionaries.
4:12 am
zoozzoom

At least we can have a good laugh at the words in there too!
4:12 am
sprite

:D
4:13 am
zoozzoom

As my father always says, Sprite. "Experts what do they know" lol
4:14 am
sprite

lolllll
4:14 am
zoozzoom

is it correct to put a capital inside quotation marks?
4:14 am
sprite

if you quote a sentence, yes. If you quote a word, no.
4:15 am
zoozzoom

Ah that is okay then. Thank you.
4:15 am
sprite

:)
4:16 am
zoozzoom

I am really struggling with the Marcel Proust six series of books, Sprite. It is very hard going I am finding.
4:17 am
sprite

yes that is not easy reading, zooz.
4:19 am
sprite

maybe it would help to read a few pages, then put it aside for a while? It needs digesting :) You could alternate with light reading.
4:21 am
zoozzoom

I do not mind as such but it gets very tedious when he describes what has happened to him there and then. But he will then Say like the time when I was with Mme (who ever) many years ago or when this happend or when so and so said this and this goes on for over two pages. By the time he gets back to the day he was describing in the first place I have pretty much forgotton what he had described in the first place.
4:21 am
sprite

lol yes
4:21 am
zoozzoom

And then after a few pages more it goes through the same process all over again. I struggle with type of book.
4:22 am
zoozzoom

But I paid nearly £80 for the set so am determind to see it through LOL
4:22 am
sprite

roflol, ok :) You goooo, zooz!
4:22 am
zoozzoom

Teehee!
4:23 am
zoozzoom

I am looking for a book that has some short stories by different authors in one book. Had been given a link for a couple of books that i could check out. Do you have any to reccomend?
4:23 am
zoozzoom

Recommend*
4:24 am
sprite

I don't know what kind of books you are interested in, zooz?
4:25 am
zoozzoom

Anything mostly not that hot on romance novels but anything else is pretty much okay.
4:27 am
sprite

gotta think on it... I know some anthologies but they are by one author.
4:28 am
zoozzoom

Yeah that is the problem i have when I do a search. No matter what I put in like all in one book it still comes up mostly with single authors.
4:29 am
zoozzoom

There is a book where most of the short stories are about 26 words long LOL that is a bit too short for me Teehee!
4:30 am
sprite

fun though
4:30 am
zoozzoom

I will leave you in peace now, Sprite. As I need to go see my parents. Nice to see you. Hope to see you again soon. Happy babbling!

Hi lbd.
5:23 am

I don't know if it was you I told ibd but my wireless speakers just started connecting to my laptop again all of a sudden :)
5:24 am
sukee

After a week of trying everything.
5:24 am
lbdawger

gremlins.
5:25 am
sukee

It worked after I plugged my printer into my usb port. Weird.
5:26 am
jwr

monkeys. I wish that would happen to my printer but I'm afraid it's going to be a $50+ cost for a new toner cartridge.
5:27 am
lbdawger

I have things like that happen every time I get some new fandangle. I must miss a step in doing something then all of a sudden, wa la...it works. I think the computers are sentient and are messing with us.
5:27 am
sukee

Funny I just played Sultans of String with the whale sounds and the cats didn't know what to think.
5:27 am
jwr

That's peculiar though, sukee
5:27 am
jwr

Ha!
5:28 am
lbdawger

poor kitties
5:28 am
sukee

My printer has not worked well since I upgraded to Windows 10. If I have to print out something I have to save it as a graphic or the print is blank.
5:29 am
sukee

I like to think I have a handle on technology, but I don't really :)
5:29 am
jwr

Thanks for that, su. I've been told not to do that upgrade -- get pop-ups every time I turn on or leave the computer for a few minutes. Printer problems llike that are just one more argument to stay with 8.
5:30 am
jwr

pop-ups from Windows10, that is
5:30 am
sukee

Yes, I remember those :)
5:31 am
sukee

IS it still free?
5:31 am
lbdawger

I know what you mean, Sukee. I'm pretty good a trouble shooting, but sometimes I think it's just dumb luck. I bought window 10 when I bought my new computer. It's okay. but I've been told not to upgrade my windows 8 for those very reasons that Jwr stated.
5:31 am
jwr

Yes, that's the big come-on, but you're the first person I know who has it
5:32 am
sukee

Oh well, that is all the problems I have had though. Otherwise it's fine.
5:32 am
lbdawger

I think it's free until June or July? not sure of the date
5:32 am
jwr

What are the big improvements then?
5:33 am
sukee

Nothing major really, I like the start menu :)
5:33 am
lbdawger

I don't really see a big improvement in anything. the layout is a bit different. I still don't see how things are "intuitive" they aren't to me.
5:33 am
lbdawger

just apps versus programs.
5:35 am
dc43

Sukee have you tried downloading the printer software from the manufacturer's site?
5:35 am
jwr

Ahh. sounds like stuff I don't use anyway. I think I'll stay with 8. -- good popping (almost said pooping!) in with you guys. I'm just off to a night's work. 41 words, icky grid. See you henceforth.
5:35 am
sukee

I have actually been trying to do it through HP. I should go directly to the site.
5:36 am
sukee

Take care jwr
5:37 am

Ta . Soon as I said I was going, saw three more words. Relaxed brain, I guess. Bye sukee, all.
5:39 am
lbdawger

ta, jwr
5:40 am
sukee

I can't believe there are so many C words, I only have 9 so far
5:40 am
sukee

And I'm more than halfway.
5:41 am
lbdawger

i have 17, but stuck on what else could come from the c. moving on...
5:47 am
sukee

okay, now have 17 :)
5:48 am

Scrabbler

Annie, did Bobby get a good report from the urologist?
4:53 pm
Anniebrook

Scrabbs, was away from keyboard. His kidney is okay but there is a stone in his right kidney (2mm). They are letting it stay there and hopefully it won't move. He has to go for a bunch of blood tests in April and back to the urologist in August. I find this kind of nerve wracking because I worry about him being alone if anything untoward happens.
4:58 pm
Scrabbler

(On phone with my mother.) 2 mm is tiny, so maybe he can pee it out.
4:59 pm
Anniebrook

Thanks for reassuring me. I am trying very hard to stay on an even keel.
4:59 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i have had several kidney stones. sometimes they go out on their own with hardly any problem, and other times, hospital
5:00 pm
Anniebrook

BDG, this is his first kidney stone.
5:00 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

good thing that you have medical. i don't recommend trying to "ride it out"
5:01 pm
Anniebrook

Yes, I know. He was in a great deal of pain.
5:01 pm
Scrabbler

Look at a ruler, Annie. 2 mm is tiny.
5:02 pm
Anniebrook

scrabbs, I will. I just got fireworks. Am going to get a ruler and thanks for the reassurance. Bye.
5:02 pm
Scrabbler

oodle
5:02 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

in my experience, pain is caused by a stone in the ureter, not a stone inthe kidney. hope he gets plenty of good drugs and passes it quick
5:02 pm
Scrabbler

Yay, Annie.
5:02 pm
Scrabbler

Better news than a large stone in the kidney.
5:03 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i have had stones in my kidneys for several months and I feel fine. those stones are the ones that cause problems, usually (of course there are always exceptions)
5:04 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

oops, i meant *not* the ones that cause problems
5:05 pm
Scrabbler

Unless pieces fling off
5:05 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

yes, but again, it's the pieces in the ureter that cause pain, not the crap that stays behind (usually)
5:06 pm
Scrabbler

Yes, passing through the ureter is the excruciating pain.
5:07 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i was lucky to have medical when i had my last attack. now i'm in between having medical again. argh
5:08 pm
Scrabbler

Oh, no.
5:36 pm
MimiCat

The herb chanca piedra works to eliminate stones when formed but also to keep them from forming at all. A friend of mine who was plagued by constant stones started taking it and the problem completely went away---no stone formation as long as she took it. Works for gallbladder stones as well. You can get it on Amazon. It has been used in S. America for decades.

I'm surprised I don't get gall stones as I have a lot of gall :D

The herb put and end to that, thankfully.
5:48 pm

I'm not feeling well, so going to lie down for a bit. Finally got home health nurse in place and working on home health aide. Insurance pays 100% for that and pretty much everything else.

Working on a plan to get those tests I need now instead of waiting for my legs to allow me to get down the stairs. My patience is wearing very thin. Oh, well, see you later.

Still here, Gwen. It's in pill or capsule form--don't remember which.

that sounds easier than having to cook 'em! Thanks mimi

Not expensive either.

Yes, Frank was fighting for 3 years.
6:47 pm
jmcnrick

i remembered that I hadn't moved my folding@home to my new computer so I did that. . . sorta the only thing I can do for them. . . .
6:51 pm
Scrabbler

Frank wrote a farewell on FB, on Sue's page, about a week or two before he died. He faced his death with courage know he lived longer than originally predicted when first diagnosed.
6:51 pm

that is touching. . .
6:51 pm

It really was.

so how are things with you. . .
6:58 pm
jmcnrick

toodles isn't a word? am I misspelling it?
6:59 pm
Scrabbler

Good, except I am wondering how I will pay my quarterly taxes and 2015 taxes on April 15. I may need to have a payment plan with the IRS...or rob a bank.
6:59 pm
Scrabbler

I tried toodle too.
7:01 pm
jmcnrick

pay the tax due for 2015 first and what ever you can towards the estimated taxes after. . . then add some to each of the remaining quarters. . . no penalty if the taxes are caught up by the end of the year. . .
7:01 pm
jmcnrick

no charge. . . :)
7:02 pm
Scrabbler

TY. And I need to not help family members so much, but they need my help. *sigh*
7:03 pm
Scrabbler

But, your idea is wonderful! TY for giving me a plan.
7:03 pm
jmcnrick

as long as you are not enabling. . . .I still help my boy and my niece. . . .
7:04 pm
jmcnrick

<==prepared taxes for more than 35 years primarily for working poor. . . .
7:04 pm
Scrabbler

I am not enabling. I am helping my greatnephews because their parents are poor and truly struggling. Once the boys are in school then child care will no longer be an issue.
7:05 pm
jmcnrick

hope my remark didn't offend. . .
7:05 pm
jmcnrick

I prepare my niece's returns for free from similar reasons. . .
7:06 pm
Scrabbler

No, I struggle with my decision to help, especially now as I am stressed with April 15th looming. But I must make life better for those little boys.
7:07 pm
jmcnrick

i understand. . . it is soooo hard to see little kids having a hard start in life. . . but now you can feel a little more in control with the taxes. . . .
7:09 pm
Scrabbler

As a partner in our business we give ourselves a "bonus" prior to quarterly taxes being due, but I don't know how much I will get and if it will be sufficient. I should have kept more on Dec rather than dumping it in my 401k.
7:09 pm
Scrabbler

I am not putting much in my 401k as it is.
7:10 pm
jmcnrick

no no you need to save for your future too! I totally approve. . .
7:10 pm
Scrabbler

It is tough to balance the needs...now vs later, me vs the boys.
7:11 pm
jmcnrick

i have the same struggle. . . wearing my cape as long as I did regardless of the money wasn't the best way to save for old age. . . :/
7:11 pm
jmcnrick

thank heavens people hate doing their tax returns! haha!
7:12 pm
Scrabbler

For so many years I helped my sister and her 3 boys. Now I am helping her eldest with his 2 little boys.
7:12 pm

you are a great person. . .really
7:12 pm
Scrabbler

So, I shall work til at least 70, if not later. *sigh*
7:12 pm

*puts a gold star on scrabs forehead*
7:13 pm
jmcnrick

I WANT to work until 70 or beyond. . . but not doing what i am doing now. . .
7:13 pm
Scrabbler

I pay it forward, am frugal, and am not self-indulgent.
7:13 pm
Scrabbler

What would you like to be doing next?
7:14 pm
jmcnrick

i have mainly spent money on making my house more energy efficient. . .
7:14 pm
Scrabbler

Yes, I recall the work on your home.
7:14 pm
jmcnrick

oh pretty much more of the same. . . running and organization where i can speak and write and travel and save the world. . . :D
7:15 pm

I keep applying for jobs but I get teh distinct impression they are put off by my age. . .
7:15 pm
Scrabbler

I admire what you have done and continue to do. You are an atypical attorney.
7:15 pm
jmcnrick

i put in new windows last winter. . . 20% savings on energy. . .
7:16 pm
jmcnrick

actually i know a lot of attorneys like me. . .we get a bum rap! haha
7:16 pm
Scrabbler

I have been getting some home improvements done too, projects which have been long overdue, because I postponed them.
7:17 pm
jmcnrick

my current goal is to get enough money to write an amicus brief for my organization on the issue of the lack of First Amendment protection to lie in political ads. . . .
7:17 pm
Scrabbler

My sister was a business attorney--mergers, acquisitions, etc. All I heard about was work, work, work, and billable hours.
7:17 pm
jmcnrick

good for you. . . I am pretty good at tearing things do** so that I can pay someone to fix them. . .
7:18 pm
Scrabbler

I am a DIY-er but some things I cannot do by myself.
7:19 pm
jmcnrick

well honestly if it made her happy i say good for her. . . i believe we should all love what we do or do something else. . . .

Scrabbler

She quit at 50--burned out.
7:21 pm
jmcnrick

too bad. . . maybe she will find what she needs now. . .
7:22 pm
Scrabbler

My next big project is flooring--laminate flooring--and I wish I could tackle it myself. But we're talking most of the downstairs, the stairs, a hallway, and my bedroom. Plus the carpeting has to be ripped out first.
7:22 pm
jmcnrick

of course you can burn out doing good works too. . . .especially . . .
7:23 pm
jmcnrick

with the lack of money. . .
7:23 pm
Scrabbler

LTD actually, but that is a long story.
7:23 pm
jmcnrick

well surely you can do the tearing out. . . I would think you could lay the floor except maybe the stairs. . .
7:24 pm
Scrabbler

The subfloor has some uneven areas, because the left half of the house was an addition. That flaw must be evened out.
7:25 pm
jmcnrick

if you wait until after tax season maybe I can come up and help for a while. . . :) sounds like a job better done with friends. . .
