1:36 am
grannyrose

lolll. know dear man.
1:37 am
rururocks

Are you trying to butter me up?
1:38 am
grannyrose

better than smearing your good name.
1:38 am
rururocks

I try not to spread myself too thinly
1:39 am
grannyrose

talking about buttering up... which side do you hit the carpet on...
1:40 am
rururocks

I don't know that saying
1:41 am
mkg

bad grid. cant get these words. any clues fo r the 7s?
1:41 am
grannyrose

the chance of the dropped toast hitting the carpet butter-side down is proportional to the cost of the carpet.
1:42 am
rururocks

Oh
1:42 am
rururocks

That would be crumby
1:43 am

1:45 am
rururocks

No. Do tell?
1:45 am
mkg

ty for sa clue. got it. ty
1:46 am
grannyrose

i am walking like i haven't for the last 4 years. also back on the stationary bike.no pain at all..
1:46 am
rururocks

Oh great. I am glad to hear that GR
1:47 am
grannyrose

europe is looking better and better.
1:47 am
rururocks

That would be great for you
1:48 am
grannyrose

my lower back pain has been present for over 30 years. and no fusion needed., it also makes my north american/canadian trip look good too.
1:49 am
rururocks

I'm going to Canada again in July
1:49 am
grannyrose

suffice to say, my admiration for my pain doc has grown.
1:50 am
rururocks

No one needs to suffer in pain. I get it
1:50 am
grannyrose

two more years dear friend... i hope to visit you and see your wonderful country.
1:50 am
rururocks

That is great they are finally helping you
1:51 am
grannyrose

i now have to build up my tolerance of activity.
1:52 am
rururocks

Yes. Just don't overdo it and keep building strength
1:53 am
grannyrose

i was so afraid of a spinal fusion. these injections have helped me.. with no drastic intrusion into my spine.
1:54 am
rururocks

They are developing new technologies to avoid spinal fusion and often it doesn't help anyway
1:54 am
grannyrose

ruru, there is something about intrusion into the spinal canal. i really did not want to end up paralysed.
1:55 am
grannyrose

ruru... there are now injections, where the docs use cement to fuse the bones together.
1:55 am
Kamanjah

Rose, that is such fantastic news!! I'm so happy for you!
1:55 am
rururocks

That is what i read about
1:56 am
grannyrose

kam... {{hugs}} and abundant kisses.,
1:56 am
Kamanjah

I'm still refusing surgery I was told I would be paralyzed without...25 years, and my chiro is my best pain reliever, along with the prescribed stuff, that is..
1:57 am
grannyrose

everywhere i go, people tell me it is wonderful to see how i am able to walk and move.
1:57 am
Kamanjah

So great! Now you have to keep exercising to get those muscles back in shape...and keep them in shape.
1:58 am
grannyrose

what i have had is a chemical denervation.
1:58 am
grannyrose

kam, back on the stationary bike. and in a few days, i am going to factor in walking too.
1:58 am
Kamanjah

Someone else I know had that done and is very happy with the result. He's walking a lot better, and doing a lot more - like building a new house!
1:59 am
Kamanjah

I hope you have good reading for the bike sessions. Walking is so much better because you can find things as you wander...
2:00 am
Kamanjah

Well, maybe not better, but a lot more fun!
2:01 am
grannyrose

kam...i need to build up my tolerance. bike first. it is so much easier...then walking. don't forget i suffer from fibromyalgia.
2:03 am
Kamanjah

I know, so do I. Magnesium is good for muscles to heal and keep on moving - I take mine every night. I try to keep walking as much as possible to keep my legs strong. My neck is what is a mess, but so goes life. Go slowly, my dear.
2:08 am
grannyrose

kam i am going slowly. with the FM i have quivering muscles. any exercise exaggerates that, which is very painful.
2:10 am
Kamanjah

You'll get there, just do what you can, then rest up. Every day you'll be able to do a tiny bit more. I hate the "I overdid it" shakes.
2:12 am
grannyrose

oh yeah, they're the worst. particularly when himself does not understand.
2:12 am
grannyrose

he queried me about the fact i sleep 11-12 hours every night. i asked him, what about the hours i am awake between 2 and 6am?
2:14 am
grannyrose

he asked what do you do then? i said i lie there staring at the ceiling in the dark. he asked... why don't you turn on the light and read? i said... i don't want to disturb your night's sleep.
2:14 am
grannyrose

he did have the grace to look ashamed.
2:16 am
Kamanjah

Mine understands. Unfortunately, he has Parkinson's, which is somewhat similar, but a lot worse, I think.
2:17 am
Kamanjah

My father-in-law doesn't understand the sleeping till 11AM thing though. I think he is starting to understand since hubby talked to him about different chronic diseases.
2:18 am
Kamanjah

Hubby and I both have weird sleep patterns and just leave each other alone. He can sleep through anything, but if I'm in bed and he's up, he'll close the door so he doesn't bother me.
2:19 am
grannyrose

{{hugs}} kam and loads of support. xoxox
2:19 am
Kamanjah

Back at ya!
2:20 am
Kamanjah

Ya know, I just get up when I can't sleep, and then go back to bed when I get sleepy again.
2:20 am
rururocks

What's wrong with quivering muscles in bed? 😀
2:23 am
Kamanjah

They wake the other person up! You know, like a cat or dog continually scratching? It's annoying, but my hubby can't help it. Fortunately, his stops when he falls asleep, and if he can't sleep, he gets back up...trade-offs when your body doesn't work quite right.
But I will give you another groan for the double entendre :)
2:23 am
grannyrose

nothing ruru.. so long as they are quivering for the right reason...
2:23 am
Kamanjah

Ru, how did you get a smiley face in this chat?
2:24 am
rururocks

I typed it in
2:24 am
Kamanjah

I did too :)
2:25 am
Kamanjah

but it's still text...
2:26 am
rururocks

I am sending from my cell ph5
2:28 am
Kamanjah

ah ha
2:30 am
rururocks

I am off to sleep. Take care
2:30 am
Kamanjah

Sleep well!
2:38 am
Kamanjah

Well, I just learned a new ok word. This is a tough one for me, the Ks about killed me off, but I finished them up, still 23 to go.

I am okay thank you. Mother is doing okay too. had some bad news when dad went to the doctors but will not discuss it as it is not my place to.
4:12 am
zoozzoom

How are you doing?
4:13 am
sprite

all my best for your father then, and your mother too. And you *hugssss*
I am fine. Feeling good, enjoying the cold but sunny winterdays here.
4:13 am
zoozzoom

Oh gosh no I want the warmer weather here NOW! lol
4:14 am
sprite

lol :) I like it right now. Sun and clear skies and this cripsy cold air. Healthy weather.
4:16 am
zoozzoom

R tile greyed out!
4:16 am
sprite

good job :D
4:17 am
zoozzoom

I do not think it is going to be that easy all the way through some how.
4:17 am
sprite

no way. 16 K words. Beastly ;)
4:18 am
zoozzoom

Oh great at least it will be a challenge!
4:18 am
sprite

nah. Ks are never a challenge. Just a cruel and unusual punishment
4:19 am
zoozzoom

lol
4:19 am
sprite

got them out of the way first though, so the rest is easy ;)
4:19 am
zoozzoom

Wow you are good!
4:20 am
sprite

not with Ks I ain't, lol. I just get them out of the way first, so I can enjoy the rest of the grid.
4:21 am
zoozzoom

Well i am on the Ks now and I would like to get them out of the way and have stalled at 8! lol
4:21 am
zoozzoom

Moving on to the O now.
4:22 am
sprite

they are all 5 or below in length, if that helps
4:23 am
zoozzoom

That is good to know as I know some of the Ks we have had in past grids can be rather large! Thank you.
4:23 am
sprite

and my new word learned for today: pa6/30. Another archaic word of course
4:24 am
zoozzoom

Well the Enable we use is archaic so that would fit perfectly lol
4:24 am
sprite

hehehe true
4:25 am
sprite

yeah with shorter words we just have to whip them monkeys!
4:27 am
zoozzoom

Yeah my fingers are pressing away at the keyboard without a care but it is the brain that gets annoyed when nothing seems to take lol
4:27 am
sprite

very true, same here. Especially with K words, when my brain shuts down and claims it doesn't even KNOW 16 K words.
4:28 am
zoozzoom

LOL
4:28 am
sprite

such a pathetic liar, that brain of mine
4:29 am
zoozzoom

Just been feeding mine with an apple but the apple is a bit too sharp!
4:30 am
zoozzoom

No wonder they were only a £1 for six.
4:30 am
sprite

cook them into applesauce
4:31 am
zoozzoom

No way! I would have to buy some pork then to go with it!
4:31 am
sprite

hahahaha sounds good to me
4:32 am
sprite

a favorite children combination here is chicken, french fries and applesauce.
4:32 am
zoozzoom

ooh now chicken and fries sounds nice!
4:33 am
sprite

my liar brain keeps telling me 'insipient' is a word.
4:34 am
mattygroves

Morning all! Tricky little grid - I'm over halfway but only have 1 six, no sevens and I'm missing the O in the first column and the E and the H in the last column. It's going to be toughish, I think (I have 11 of the Ks)
4:34 am
zoozzoom

Very good phantom though, Sprite!
4:34 am
sprite

dictionary agrees! It means lack of wisdom; foolishness. Tsk.
4:35 am

hiya matty! *hugs* You are well on your way though. If you want any clues, please let us know.
4:35 am

not a phantom, just not valid in enable for some odd reason.
4:36 am
mattygroves

I will! Still monkeying away (which is nearly PB). Jeff's with his parents this weekend so I'm all on me own :)
4:36 am

Oh yes you are right!

Incipient is the usual spelling
4:36 am

4:37 am

Indeed - I'm going to a friend's for a sleepover tomorrow with gin.
4:37 am
zoozzoom

Ah that is probably why then, molly.
4:37 am
sprite

hi Molly, incipient has a different meaning though. That is related to beginning things, isn't it?
4:37 am
zoozzoom

Are you taking tonic with you too, Matty lol
4:38 am
sprite

sounds great, matty! :)
4:38 am
mattygroves

Oh yes - though Sarah will no doubt have some
4:38 am
sprite

why ru4 perfectly good gin with tonic? ;)
4:38 am
mattygroves

It should be fun - my friend and her nearly 18 year old daughter (who, I don't think, will be drinking gin, though she likes the odd port and lemonade, would you believe) :)
4:39 am
mattygroves

Oh, we'll try gin cocktails and tonic and just on its own. I doubt it'll be too messy but should be fun
4:39 am
zoozzoom

<--- Not keen on gin.
4:39 am
zoozzoom

Back in a bit got to get a bit of apple out that is stuck in my teeth. It is really annoying me know.
4:39 am

May I have stats for that E and that H in the last column, please?

4:41 am

4:42 am

the en is a mushroom, and of course japanese in origin. The japanese really love their mushrooms.

welcome back, zooz

Got it..Sorry once again.
4:43 am
mattygroves

Thanks to that, I now have nbt/nbs, for what it's worth. But at least the sun's come out.
4:44 am
zoozzoom

Not seeing that E and enorm is out of reach.
4:44 am
sprite

it is 3 syllables, zooz, and in japanese most syllables end in vowels.
4:44 am
mattygroves

I monkeyed it....it uses the high value letter
4:45 am
zoozzoom

Ah that did it thank you!
4:45 am
sprite

yay!
4:46 am
zoozzoom

Actually I am sure it has been in the grid before.
4:46 am
sprite

yes it has. But rarely enough to be forgotten again
4:46 am
MollyL

It has, people usually clue it as "the mushroom"
4:46 am
mattygroves

My phantom of the moment is aphid.
4:46 am
MollyL

That is the only way I remember it.
4:47 am
sprite

I'll add it to the babblet list
4:47 am
zoozzoom

I will try and remember that, Molly.
4:47 am
MollyL

Words like that and naan do not stick in my memory because I don't eat them.
4:47 am
mattygroves

Sprite, can you tell me anything about that archaic P?
4:48 am
mattygroves

Naan is lovely!
4:48 am
sprite

added
4:48 am
sprite

matty, it has an ending that looks yiddish.
4:49 am
sprite

and it starts with exchanging money for stuff... but it means heathendom.
4:49 am
sprite

oh I love naan. Especially garlic naan.
4:49 am
zoozzoom

My phantom is : Passion.
4:49 am
MollyL

I got that word from the point value. I've never heard of it before and I am quite the heathen.
4:50 am
sprite

it was new for me too. My new word learned for today. Don't think it will stick in my head though, lol
4:50 am
sprite

ah poor zooz. Passion should never be a phantom :D
4:50 am
MollyL

Sorry Enable, but anyone who has changed a soaking wet diaper knows that pissy is a word.
: P
4:50 am
zoozzoom

eww
4:51 am
mattygroves

Tis a strange word :) Thanks!
4:51 am
sprite

yeah. And when mad but not flaming red angry, we can be pissy too.l
4:51 am
sprite

yay matty!
4:51 am
mattygroves

And I agree re the pi word :)
4:51 am
MollyL

I thought the mad definition of that word was what made it common and acceptable.
4:52 am
sprite

I would agree. But then again, let's never accuse enable of common sense and logic.
4:52 am
MollyL

No, not in a million years.
4:53 am

It has very slightly got milder here. We are at 7.3c so far!
5:14 am

This year we haven't had the real cold, cold days like -30

I am, this morning I am just in a t-shirt and it's okay. In the really cold weather I was wearing a fleece jacket I wear outside in March and October :)
5:19 am

Decided not to go to the gym today...
5:21 am

Yes I often wear my coat indoors with this cold weather and crappy house I have lol with a hot water bottle to go with it all lol
5:22 am
zoozzoom

Oh are you not well then, Sukee, to not go to the gym or just fancied a day away from it?
5:22 am
sukee

Oh yes, I have a hot water bottle too. I have an electric blanket but I haven't hooked up the electric yet. Makes me nervous with the cats :)
5:22 am
sukee

I just don't want to go out in the snow and wind :)
5:23 am
sukee

In the winter I really should go later, it's tough at 7:00 AM.
5:23 am
zoozzoom

I am sure the electric blankets are okay. I just never fancied having one of those.
5:24 am
zoozzoom

Oh I can understand that, Sukee!
5:24 am
sukee

the cats like to chew on things and the cord has to stretch from the bottom of the bed to the top so it would be lying under my bed.
5:25 am

Not worth the risk then.
5:25 am

Maybe one day I will use it :)

I used your pediatricians' group as an example at our partners' mtg on Tuesday, that we should consider charging for night calls.
8:16 am

how did that go over?

The difficulty is that 1/3 of our families have Medicaid. We are a rural practice with many families living in poverty.

Bye, Luc. Be well.
8:19 am
EvaNadine

i imagine it would be difficult to implement there...
i havent actually had to call during evening hours myself, as of yet. but from what i understand, theyre a little loosy-goosy about actually applying the charge.
8:19 am
Scrabbler

I think the key is education--tell mothers when to call after hours, when to call when we're open, to look at our website, to avoid the ER. But it is difficult to educate the ignorant that think they know everything already.
8:21 am
EvaNadine

getting charged a few times might educate them. heh ;)
8:24 am

We try, but we see very simple folks.

mael

I've called at night before, during epic runs of the stomach flu when my toddler was throwing up every 20 minutes for hours
8:27 am
Scrabbler

People don't respect us at all and are not resourceful, so they don't look up info or look at our website. They call us to ask about Tylenol doses.
8:27 am
Scrabbler

Poor kid, mael.
8:28 am
EvaNadine

mael - i was telling Scrabs that our pedi charges for the after-hours calls, but with exceptions:
the first (i think) 3 months after your baby is born, you can call with no charge.
also, if they end up referring you to the ER, they waive the fee.
8:28 am
Scrabbler

We have a triage nurse service take our calls from 9pm-8am but WE pay for those calls, not the parents.
8:30 am
mael

yeah, we're part of a big network and they specifically tell you to call, at any time, rather than take the kid to the ER.
8:31 am
mael

eva, I'm glad they give you the first three months at least! those are the nerve wracking ones, though luckily nothing went wrong for me or mine

Hey Car, they won't even take my blood any more. In the UK, if you have had cancer, you can't donate blood, bone marrow, organs (after death) ever. They say they don't know enough about how cancer works to guarantee that my donation can't spark cancer in another.

yeah, when I moved in the mid 80s, couldn't believe how racist they were, but the country's grown up a lot since then
10:49 am

one of many instances of rudeness and discourtesy from Aussie men. And the women didn't really speak - perhaps they were frightened of their men, who knows? I know it is very different now, thank goodness.

probably once you get to manage a team it's a lot easier, but you have to be pretty pushy to get there, I think
11:33 am

yeah. and it helps to have been with the company for 37 years!
11:34 am

oh, sorry -- 18th car, if what im reading is correct!

Question from a newby. I'm guessing that the letters and numbers underneath the puzzle are how many words start with that letter?
11:38 am
EvaNadine

beth -- no, the numbers are how many points that tile is worth when used in a word.
11:38 am
EvaNadine

click on the Help icon above -- it's not too long + lays everything out pretty well.
11:38 am

oh, sorry -- underneath the puzzle!
yes, thats what you described. :)
11:39 am

I'm talking about the Tile Stats below the puzzle. :)
11:39 am
Beth13

Oh OK thanks, that's what I thought.
11:39 am
Beth13

I'll check out the Help. Thanks.
11:39 am

tile stats are the number of words that begin with that letter and word stats are the number of words that are that length

Actually it's a funny story how I found this. I told a friend that I wanted to invent a new word game similar to Scrabble but with a lot of different twists to it so he said I should call it Babble since my name starts with a B. He did a search on Babble and found this game and told me Babble was already a word game. lol

It has been a "cold" winter in the Sacramento Valley. Many nights dipping below freezing. And the rain - I know we shouldn't complain about rain in California - but enough already!

We love the rain especially as we rely on rainwater for all our household water including washing and drinking . We have a large tank to collect water off the roof (130 thousand litres) Plenty in the winter but now summer is here we have half our tank left , Rain starts in April so it should last.

We have had a very serious drought in California for the last 5 years. Since CA provides most of the nation's food, it is a BIG problem. So I shouldn't complain.

The sa6/27 ends in a vowel.That was my 2nd to last word

You are right Molly. I clued the sa6/27

But because of the drought, the rains we have been having have caused a lot of flooding and mud slides, etc, since the ground can't absorb the water.
