5:22 am

Hello, Sukee :-)
5:22 am
sukee

Hi zoo
5:23 am
zoozzoom

Did you give any presents to your kitties?
5:23 am
sukee

We have snow on the ground again.
5:23 am
zoozzoom

Urgh! you can keep the snow. Hope it does not get too heavy.
5:24 am
sukee

I hope so too.
5:25 am
zoozzoom

At least it is staying lighter for longer now. Slowly but getting there lol
5:26 am
zoozzoom

How are you, Sukee. Hope all is well?
5:27 am
sukee

Can't believe there are so many K words.
5:27 am
sukee

Still a bit under the weather. Think I need antibiotics to kick this out. Can't see a doctor until next week.
5:27 am
zoozzoom

I know right! I still need 8 more of those and have been trying all types of combos lol
5:29 am
zoozzoom

Aww sorry to hear that, Sukee. I am just getting over a cold here...Thankfully it was not too bad. Annoying that you have to wait all that time to see the doc.
5:29 am
sukee

I think it's a sinus infection.
5:29 am
sukee

A lot of people are sick around here, similar things.
5:30 am
zoozzoom

Would a neti-pot help? Or was it you who suggested those to me. sorry I can not remember now.
5:30 am
sukee

I think we need some cold cold weather to get rid of it.
5:30 am
sukee

I have been using my neti pot. I stopped for a day and started feeling worse.
5:30 am
zoozzoom

Yes it does tend to spread quickly this time of the year.
5:31 am
zoozzoom

Oh no I would hate it if it got really cold. But I know what you mean...kill off all the nasty bugs floating around.
5:31 am
zoozzoom

Get using it again then, sukee!
5:32 am

I am sending warming healing vibes across the pond water to you. ((Sukee))
5:32 am
sukee

Going to try and call a nurse today and ask if they can send in a prescription for anti-biotics. It's a long shot but it might work. I have been prescribed them before, but not for at least a year.
5:33 am
zoozzoom

Could give it a try, Sukee. what have you got to lose. Do it now while you think of it.
5:33 am
MollyL

Illness spreads more quickly in the winter because more people are inside, in close quarters with each other. It doesn't have much to do with the temperature.
5:34 am
sukee

Woo hoo, blocked of one tile :)
5:34 am
zoozzoom

Nice one, sukee!
5:34 am
sukee

No, but the cold can kill off germs.
5:35 am
zoozzoom

Yeah especially if you have to travel by bus, Molly, and it is cold damp and it flipping stinks on the bus. I hate it. Lots of people sneezing and coughing. Not there fault I suppose but still not pleasant.
5:36 am
sukee

I go to a gym attacked to a senior's home and they had an outbreak. Probably caught it there.
5:37 am
zoozzoom

Could of done, Sukee. But it can also be as easy as handing change over at the shops and there you go you have it.
5:38 am
sukee

True, and I also take a transportation services which includes vans and taxis.
5:38 am
sukee

I try to wash my hands as much as I can
5:38 am
zoozzoom

There you go then. So many ways to get germs really.
5:39 am
rubyfoo

Hello.
5:39 am
sukee

and even doing the laundry in my building. Anyway, it's frustrating but I still manage to work out.
5:39 am
sukee

Hi Ruby.
5:39 am
zoozzoom

Yeah I also use a sanitizer spray lol. People here say I am like sheldon cooper LOL Although I certainly do not have the characters brains that is for sure!
5:39 am
zoozzoom

Hello ((Ruby))
5:39 am
rubyfoo

I haven't had a minute to myself until now.
5:40 am
zoozzoom

Is that good or bad, ruby?
5:40 am
sukee

Good that it snowed today, should be cleared up by the time I have to go out tomorrow :)
5:41 am
rubyfoo

I haven't started but just had a glimpse of the chat and I, too, wash my hands very often and haven't had a cold in more than 20 years. A little bit crazy, but too bad!
5:41 am
rubyfoo

It's good
5:41 am
MollyL

Some people are more resistant than others. Some have a very low threshold and are sick often.
5:41 am
sukee

I hadn't had a bad cold for a couple of years until November. It went away and then got another one that is lasting 3 weeks now.
5:42 am
zoozzoom

Glad to here then, Ruby. Now though you can relax and do a bit of babble!
5:42 am
rubyfoo

Never sick, just cancer LOL
5:43 am
zoozzoom

((Ruby)) you are a strong lady. Do not forget that!
5:43 am
sukee

I haven't even had my flu shot yet because I've been sick.
5:43 am
MollyL

When my kids were small there was a woman who lived in our neighborhood who had two kids. Either she, or one of her kids were sick all the time.
5:44 am
zoozzoom

A bit like my sister's family, Molly. There is always someone with a cold.
5:44 am
zoozzoom

When children go to school it is almost impossible for none of them to pick something up.
5:45 am
rubyfoo

Of course, I don't get out much.....
5:45 am
MollyL

My son works at a day care. Good fortune that he is one of the resistant ones because that place is like germ central.
5:45 am
zoozzoom

I think you should ease off the gym untill you are feeling better, Sukee.
5:46 am
zoozzoom

But you have neen out and about this Christmas period, Ruby. Good to know you have been having good company!
5:46 am
sukee

I don't do anything really strenuous though.
5:46 am
zoozzoom

Sukee sorry if i came across as telling you what to do. did not mean it like that.
5:47 am
sukee

No, that is okay :)

5:48 am

The worst is over though, just the sinus stuff remaining. That is why I think I need some antibiotics.
5:48 am
bichon

I have congested sinuses. I have to take prednisone for 10, but no antibiotics. The fun part is the sinus rinse.
5:48 am
zoozzoom

*Whispers in Ruby's ear* you can make that word into an 8!
5:49 am
sukee

I actually like the neti pot, when water does not end up in my ears :)
5:49 am
sukee

TY zoo, I had missed that one.
5:49 am
zoozzoom

People keep telling me to get a neti-pot but I just do not think I would like it.
5:50 am
ivesy3

i think i would drown myself with one lol
5:50 am
zoozzoom

LOL, Ivesy!
5:50 am
MollyL

5:50 am
rubyfoo

5:51 am
sukee

As long as you keep your neck down you are fine :)
5:51 am
rubyfoo

Hello, Ivesy, I agree
5:51 am
bichon

I don't use a neti pot. I use a saline rinse with a bulb that you squeeze on.
5:51 am
MollyL

I use a saline spray and that works for me.
5:51 am
sukee

I also have a spray.
5:52 am
zoozzoom

Must look into these saline sprays.
5:52 am

5:53 am

Flonase contains a steroidal spray. First you have to clear your nose with the saline spray
5:54 am
sukee

I wanted snerk to be there.
5:54 am
zoozzoom

Oi 4 & 5

5:56 am
sukee

Luckily, my drugs are paid for.
5:56 am
sukee

It probably would Ruby.
5:57 am
sukee

5:57 am
bichon

5:57 am

5:57 am
zoozzoom

Could put some vicks sinex into a bowl of hot water to help clear the nose.
5:58 am
sukee

I love the smell of Vicks, haven't had it in years.
5:59 am
zoozzoom

Although i found when i did that i would sometimes get some steam in my eyes and with the vicks in the water it irritated my eyes.
5:59 am
bichon

One thing that worked very well [but tempory] was visiting a tea factory and going into the sealed "mint room"
5:59 am
zoozzoom

That sounds nice, bichon!
5:59 am

6:00 am

9:35 am
hurshy

ooh, i just had a sudden wonder: when something rings a bell in our minds, does an angel get its wings THEN? or does it have to be an actual audible bell?
9:37 am
MollyL

The phrase "that rings a bell" is attributed to Pavlov and his dogs experiment. So it would be an actual bell.
9:38 am
hurshy

oh! and that means that even that kind of thing wouldn't have been going on for very long, historically
9:39 am
MollyL

And for that matter, when a hand bell ensemble plays, it is like mass wing getting in Angel-ville?
9:39 am
hurshy

suppose so!
9:41 am

a hand bell ensemble sounds like a bunch of ding dongs

10:14 am
rururocks

he was so freaking talented
10:15 am
bookwomen

nope but he did sing it for Ellen at her request
10:15 am

is that what passes for talent?!!!

Hello everyone! Happy New Year...in advance!
10:16 am
rururocks

oh please nan.. he was one of the greatest guitarists on the planet
10:17 am
bookwomen

yes he was and Bambi does had a great solo
10:18 am
rururocks

Reporter to Eric Clapton: How does it feel to be considered the greatest guitarist in the world? Clapton to reporter: I don't know.. you should ask Prince
10:18 am
cybernan

Andrew Lloyd Webber has talent, so does Elton John --someone that plunks at a guitar, wears crazy outfits and screams out lyrics you wouldn't want any young child to understand does not have talent in my book --- maybe showmanship to some, but not talent
10:19 am
rururocks

wow.. I'm speechless
10:19 am
MollyL

Prince was a musical genius.
10:19 am
rururocks

I think so too. he was raunchy at times..but very, very talented
10:19 am
Dorens

Gosh Nan, I'm surprised at you. Not everyone likes Elton John. And I guess not everyone likes Prince. But what ever happened to "to each his own"?
10:19 am
cybernan

because he could string 4 notes and two chords together over and over and over again?
10:20 am
bookwomen

but prince plunked a guitar, sang, played the piano and 24 other instruments, produced all his albums and none else did that
10:20 am
rururocks

hardly Nan..
10:20 am
MollyL

And if you want crazy outfits and screaming lyrics unfit for young children, look no further than Elton John.
10:20 am
cybernan

dorens -- I did say "in my book" -- in other words to my ear
10:21 am
rururocks

Imagines Nan rocking out to "Saturday Night's alright for Fighting" for the deep lyrics
10:21 am
cybernan

true molly, but his redeeming quality is that musically he is a talented composer
10:21 am
Dorens

Did you ever hear "Nothing compares 2 " ?
10:22 am
cybernan

probably not -- I tend to listen to the music, not the lyrics
10:22 am
MollyL

And so was Prince, Nan
10:22 am
cybernan

also listen to classical music more than anything else
10:22 am
Dorens

10:15 am
cybernan
ProfileCanada

is that what passes for talent?!!!
10:23 am
rururocks

well.. you are entitled to your opinion.. Prince's music will pass the test of time for sure
10:23 am
cybernan

exactly, ru, as is everyone else
10:23 am
Dorens

nothing about "in my book", Nan. And I listen to classical music frequently as well.
10:23 am
MollyL

Billboard Magazine referred to Prince as the greatest musical talent of his generation.
10:24 am
bookwomen

prince composed more music than anyone else he has over 1200 songs, he also wrote Manic Monday, and With this Tear for Celine Dion
10:24 am
rururocks

and like other musicians he quietly gave millions (secretly) to charities so as not to draw attention to himself
10:24 am
cybernan

se 10:18 post dorens
10:25 am
MollyL

I don't care much for Mozart. That doesn't mean I don't recognize his musical talent.
10:25 am
cybernan

I didn't say prince was a terrible person ru -- just that I don't like his "music"
10:26 am
rururocks

I like Mozart.. not so big on Wagner
10:26 am
bookwomen

If U like classical music U might try listening to Prince's Instrumentals he did quite a few jazz albums
10:26 am
cybernan

not really a fan of jazz either
10:26 am
rururocks

as long as I never have to listen to the Lark Ascending again in my life i'll be fine with classical music :D
10:27 am
Dorens

But my problem isn't justifying Prince's talent, actually. This is not the sort of forum where we should put each other down. If someone praises the talent of an artist who we don't like, surely we can let that go, rather than snarking.
10:27 am
rururocks

(drops dead on the spot)
10:27 am
cybernan

ok - no more comments when dorens is around
10:28 am
bookwomen

I just said he sang Bambi lol
10:28 am
Deeha

snarking - what a lovely word!
10:28 am
Dorens

No Nan. Comments are fine. But putting down someone else's taste is just not nice.
10:28 am
cybernan

sorry -- didn't mean to offend you with my comments, dorens -- they were just that - a comment
10:28 am
Dorens

and why is ru dropping dead?
10:28 am
rururocks

(someone doesn't like Jazz)
10:29 am
Dorens

see. Each of us has our own taste! And that's just fine. Now i'm off to Brooklyn to see my family and celebrate Christmukkah. Bye
10:29 am

lol ru --- never developd an ear for jazz always just sounded discordant and unstructured to me
10:31 am
MollyL

Ooo, GIANT snowmen. They look like The Stay-Puf Marshmallow Man in Ghostbusters.
10:31 am
cybernan

probably why I don't enjoy the pop stuff either
10:32 am
car.eeyore

Molly..where?!?!?!?
10:32 am
rururocks

Now Pop stuff I can't stand other than the harmonies.. but Jazz is wonderful
10:32 am

10:33 am
car.eeyore

Oh dear....yes, I guess they do look like that! I was so excited.
10:34 am
MollyL

<---Is not surprised that Car was 'so excited" about snowmen
10:34 am
MollyL

Jazz is a beautiful form of music. It is not remotely "discordant" or "unstructured".
10:35 am
car.eeyore

I believe to some ears it does sound that way
10:35 am
rururocks

off to work... thanks for the laughs everyone. we all have different musical tastes. Some Jazz can be over the top for me too

hello my dear friend! thx for the message today. glad you are relatively okay

All systems nominal ..

Trifioso

totally get it. pretty darn nominal here too
10:00 pm
Trifioso

I need another week of vacation. but....nope
10:02 pm

I wouldn't a couple vacation days in a row ..
10:02 pm

I totally get it

Wouldn't *mind*

i understood

As you tend to do ..
10:18 pm
Trifioso

tertiare is away, and I gutted her room. Really, I had no choice - it was beyond an episode of hoarders in there. I am so afraid she is going to go batsh*t when she gets home, like I "invaded her privacy" or something....she is SUCH an angry teenager!
10:18 pm
Trifioso

so that was my fun vacation.
10:19 pm
torgone

You have to do that sometimes ..
10:20 pm
Trifioso

I really had to. I hope she will be calmer, now that her space is less chaotic.
10:21 pm
Trifioso

plus, with the winter coming we tend to get a few mice here and there, and all the cups and water bottles and a few other tasty morsels needed to GO
10:22 pm
Bugsaw

I had to do that to my kids sometimes too trif. Inititally they were upset but, as you say, as calm surrounding calmed their minds and they came round quickly.
10:22 pm
Trifioso

thank you bugs. I rarely interfere, but enough was more than enough.
10:22 pm
Trifioso

NO ONE needs that many clothes
10:23 pm
Bugsaw

mine were boys. they just had dirty everything, books and lots and lots of junk they didn't even remember having brought in
10:23 pm
Bugsaw

I don't like mice either
10:24 pm
Trifioso

i didn't actually toss any of the clothes. Laid them out on tables in the play room, by category. I hope that she can look through each pile and donate quite a bit. some of the things MUST be out grown by now!
10:25 pm
Trifioso

plus, some piles of clothes were touching the heaters. NOPE>
10:25 pm
Bugsaw

good plan not to toss them but help by catagorizing
10:28 pm
Trifioso

thanks. you would pass out if you saw the piles!!! i cleaned the room out with a laundry basket, and kept a tally of how many basketfuls I took out....
10:29 pm
Trifioso

I binged watched "mars" while I was doing it, and it was good company

Nef

Hi again, everyone. I can't help chiming in on messy kids. My son & his son are moving in with us again; trying to clean out my 7 yr. old grandson's room has taken 2 weeks & he HAS to save every dang small scrap of paper!
10:31 pm
Trifioso

wow nef, I feel your pain!
10:32 pm
Trifioso

as per usual, the chog is making me feel MUCH better.
10:32 pm
Nef

(I asked them to move back in to help my son save $$$ for a down payment on a house; but also to help with DH. It
10:32 pm
Nef

s getting too hard for me to manage right now
10:33 pm
Trifioso

I'm sorry to hear that, nef. I hope having them their helps you. You are such a dear sould
10:33 pm
Trifioso

soul
10:34 pm
Bugsaw

what if you get a couple of filing boxes and helped him decorate them like treasure chests. sometimes it helps them tidy up their important stuff on their own. Especially if you tell him if it is not in a chest, you didn't think it was important when you cleaned up.
10:34 pm
Trifioso

ooh, great idea bugs!
10:35 pm
Bugsaw

I am glad you can help each other out. Being a caregiver is exhausting
10:35 pm
Trifioso

I know a friend of mine kept a clear plastic box WAY on the top of her fridge, called the "you left it out" box - if someone left something out, into the box it went, until they earned its freedom
10:35 pm
Bugsaw

the top of the fridge is where I put things they were fighting over.
10:36 pm
Trifioso

hahaha great idea!
10:36 pm
Nef

I like that idea too, Bugs. Most of the stuff is going to be in storage; but he has 3 large size boxes of papers that he insists on saving. (My daughter came up with the idea that she'd label the boxes as "open in 2 months" ; 3 months, etc. & he'd have to sort the papers out then
10:38 pm
Nef

And the top of the frog isn
10:38 pm
Bugsaw

or teach him how to make collages with the best parts of his special papers
10:38 pm
Nef

t high enough
10:38 pm
Trifioso

what about laying all the little pieces on a copier, making copies, and then putting them in a scrapbook?
10:39 pm
Trifioso

and tossing the original bits?
10:40 pm
Nef

He & I are working on a scrap book; so far we're still in the preschool age! :-?
But I LOVE the idea of taking pictures of some of it & putting the pictures in it!
10:40 pm
Nef

Thanks Trifi!
10:40 pm
Trifioso

you are very welcome. good luck!
10:40 pm
Trifioso

i think I am going to turn in.....much love and peace to all
10:41 pm
Bugsaw

good night , trif
10:42 pm
Nef

Bugs, he had a piece of paper yesterday that was torn almost in half length-wise, nothing written on it or anything. I put it in the recycling pile & he grabbed it out & said it was his Alligator!! (while opening & closing the tear)
10:43 pm
Nef

Niters, Trifi!
10:43 pm
Bugsaw

I feel for you, Nef. I life with a hoarder too. Sometimes I just slip out a bunch from the bottom of the pile and he doesn't seem to notice that it never gets any higher.
10:44 pm
Bugsaw

live with a hoarder, I mean
10:45 pm
Nef

LOL, Bugs! I think a big part of the problem right now is that with his dad working from home; his dad has been pretty sloppy too when under pressure.
10:46 pm
Bugsaw

When my son was little like yours we lived next door to a plumber. He came home with toilet parts and dead car mufflers all the time. Each one was the start of a collection.
10:48 pm
Nef

oh, MY!
10:48 pm
Bugsaw

Most of the "collections" lived under the bed until I silently disposed of them one at a time to make more room for his new "collections"
10:48 pm
Bugsaw

He never noticed
10:48 pm
Bugsaw

It was the gathering of them that was the important part
10:49 pm
Nef

LOL!!
10:50 pm
Nef

I'm hoping that we can go over to the storage place & we can get rid of some of the papers before we bring them home to sort.
10:50 pm
Bugsaw

He had many moves and changes in his life so he was trying to provide some security for himself. I drew the line at plums stashed between the matress and the box spring though.
10:51 pm
Nef

Oh Geez! That's a good thing that you drew the line at that. (How did you find them?
10:52 pm
Bugsaw

Just innocently flipping the mattress one day. They had rotted away around the pits. I thought they were dead bodies and nearly had a conniption
10:52 pm
Nef

Did it stain the mattress?
10:53 pm
Bugsaw

Don't remember that part, only the shock of bodies.
11:10 pm
harpjane

hello 108 to go
11:11 pm
rururocks

maybe he was trying to prune the mattress
11:11 pm
Nef

Hi harp & ru

11:14 pm
rururocks

i'm way behind last year's record
11:15 pm
Nef

You better work on it then; IF you're trying to out do last year.
11:17 pm
rururocks

no chance.
11:17 pm
rururocks

I hit over 200 groans last year
11:18 pm
rururocks

I'd have to do 200 puns or more tomorrow to make it work
11:18 pm
Nef

Must have been too many changes in your life this year?
11:18 pm
rururocks

I had a great one earlier today and no one groaned
11:18 pm
rururocks

yeah nef.. either that or I'm not funny any more :D
11:19 pm
Nef

if you tell it again, does that count as 1 or 2 groans?
11:19 pm
rururocks

no.. it was just in the moment.. wouldn't be funny now
11:20 pm
rururocks

to be honest.. I've been here a lot less because of work.. so that's more likely the culprit
11:20 pm
Nef

I'm just asking how you count them...
11:21 pm
rururocks

one groan.. one point
11:21 pm
Nef

ok
11:21 pm
rururocks

I was guaranteed to get a lot at the flip.. but a lot of those players seem to not be here any more
11:22 pm
Nef

Yeah. I miss seeing a bunch of them...
11:22 pm

hi all. any clues for 8 letter words? i have only one: the fi 8. dont have stats for others. so clues and stats welcome

11:23 pm
Nef

11:24 pm
rururocks

hi bugs.. I have to send you an email.. regarding my date
11:24 pm
Nef

If says Bugs is still here, but who knows?
11:25 pm
Bugsaw

Sorry about that Nef. Sometimes I just wander off and come back without closing the screen.
11:25 pm
Bugsaw

Oh yes, please do , ruru. I have been waiting politely.
11:25 pm
Nef

Me too, Bugs. (I think we all do that at times)
11:25 pm
rururocks

(leaves a big bag of popcorn next to bug's computer)
11:26 pm
rururocks

politely? really?
11:27 pm
Nef

Did it go well, ru? I remember you were going on one; but not sure if I've talked to you since
11:27 pm
Bugsaw

good idea! I like munching on popcorn
11:27 pm
Bugsaw

I am always polite, of course. Like Mary Poppins, Practically perfect in every way
