Thanks, Peach
12:34 am
sandyloo

is that mo word a normal word?
12:34 am
flosey

monkeyed it but have never heard it
12:35 am
sandyloo

ah thanks flosey
12:36 am
SamanthaJoy

It's a part of a 7/8/9 combo, if that helps.
12:38 am
Lizlin

I have mo 7/8 but not the 9 :(
12:38 am
sandyloo

thanks sam , I will find it I am sure
12:39 am
Lizlin

OK - got it.
12:39 am
SamanthaJoy

Then you probably have not found the common suffix in the top right corner yet. It's a dense grid to be sure.
12:39 am
Lizlin

Had temporarily forgotten about that suffix.
12:40 am
Lizlin

perhaps because I'd normally have spelt the base word with a different final consonant.
12:40 am
SamanthaJoy

Me too. I think maybe that's a Brit/American spelling thing? I'm not sure.
12:41 am
sandyloo

got it - never heard of that word
12:41 am
Lizlin

I'm a Brit - but I'd still have spelt it differently.
12:41 am
Lizlin

A type of lock, Sandy.
12:41 am
Lizlin

Ooops - probably shouldn't have said that.
12:41 am
sandyloo

I thought it sounded like a type of death lol
12:42 am
Lizlin

:)

Hey Sprite, Have you finished yet?
1:05 am
Lizlin

It will be nice. It's all part of trying to find a way of using a part of our garden which is pretty unusable at the moment - steeply sloped.

1:15 am
Lizlin

No. Was totally outraged.
1:15 am
sprite

me too, lol. Tried it three times in a row, sure I had mistyped
1:16 am
Lizlin

How can there be another 100 words?
1:16 am
sprite

it's definitely a tight grid for one so big
1:17 am
Lizlin

I must've worn that gerund suffix out!
1:17 am
sprite

what is that in inches?
8:39 pm
HarryHood

3 inches of rain, plus snowmelt
8:41 pm
welki

we had horrible flooding here in 2013 - the snowpack here is thicker than then and, if we get rain or very warm weather, we could be facing another disaster
8:41 pm
HarryHood

sorry welki. do you have a basement?
8:42 pm
welki

oh - by 'we,' i meant people in southern alberta. my house was not affected
8:43 pm

8:44 pm
welki

one of my friends runs an animal rescue - typically a few dozen dogs and cats. during the flood, she fostered over 700 displaced animals. hundreds of houses, farms, businesses were destroyed, so i'm concerned about nan
8:45 pm

If I see her I will convey your thoughts

Thanks for reading my story the other day also :)
11:00 pm
Nef

will you have headaches forever?
11:00 pm
Nef

if so, why?
11:01 pm
Nef

(I'm an old nurse & am always curious; if I'm too personal, just tell me)
11:03 pm
firefly779

I don't know if I will or not, but 5 years later I still get them periodically. No rhyme or reason i can find (and I've kept track of several possible factors). They throb at the aneurysm site in the left back/base of my head, so it makes me think it's somehow blocking a little and pulses with my heartbeat. Then I get kinda "stupid" I call it, and think slowly and get fatigued. Neurosurgeon says I'm "cured" so the headaches are a crappy side effect, but I get to live so, fair trade lol
11:04 pm
firefly779

I've joined a few online support groups and headaches are a common thing, whether unruptured (like me) or ruptured (usually ruptured are far worse, but sometimes they get lucky).
11:08 pm
Nef

Yes, you are lucky indeed! I think that your story was tough to read for me because I've seen so many who weren't slouchy over the years.
11:11 pm
Nef

I spent most of my professional work life working in CV ICU (a total of 34 years in ICU); but we'd get overflow patients when the other ICU was full or the patient was extremely complicated.
11:11 pm
firefly779

Yes, they aren't to be fooled around with when lucky enough to be discovered ahead of time. Lots of good survivor stories I've run across though! I am certainly grateful for all my blessings - mine, had it ruptured, they said would've killed me before an ambulance could arrive. It was the size of a red globe grape - most aren't so large! And it's in my left vertebral artery, at the basilar junction (I don't have a right vertebral, either born that way or because the aneurysm caused it to atrophy).
11:13 pm
Nef

(& I meant "so Lucky" - not "slouchy"in that previous post)
11:13 pm
firefly779

I spent 4 nights in ICU after my first surgery, and my favorite nurse I had came and held my hand after my husband went back to the hotel for some sleep and I was having an episode of nystagmus that scared me to pieces!
11:13 pm
Nef

WOW!
11:14 pm
Nef

That was a huge aneurysm! and then not having a right vertibral artery is different too.
11:15 pm
firefly779

Some nurses are worth their weight in gold ;) I had another that I'll always remember that finally listened to me, after three awful angiograms, and figured out I'm allergic to Fentanyl (gives me bad nausea/vomiting). I had the pleasure of seeing him again the next time around some months later and thanking him for listening to me and fixing my problems with the meds!
11:15 pm
firefly779

Yes, I'm a special case lol
11:17 pm
Nef

Nystagmus is crazy. I can't imagine how horrid that would be mohave it. My hubby has MS; and the docs (& I) can cause it by having him glance quickly to the side; but he doesn't seem to be affected by it for some weird reason.
11:18 pm
Nef

Aww, that's so sweet to hear that you had a good nurse. (Did you know it's Nurses Week right now?)
11:18 pm
firefly779

It sure caught me off guard! I didn't understand, I just felt dizzy and then vomited. When they explained it, it made sense, and luckily it was a fleeting case.
11:20 pm
Nef

LOL! I've been an RN for nearly 50 years now (but had to quit back in 2013 due tooth my health & my hubby's) And in all those years I've never been able to tolerate vomit.
11:20 pm
firefly779

I didn't know it was nurses week. Good nurses make patients feel at home, and like people, not just bodies with numbers on them. I make darn sure to thank the ones that earn it. I do my best to be a good patient, but it's tough when feeling so poorly sometimes.
11:20 pm
Onpaki

hello, i have a missing il6. can anyone help?
11:21 pm
firefly779

Haha, you couldn't tolerate vomiting patients? That'd be tough! I can't tolerate it in myself at all, but I've held the hair of my daughters plenty and don't flinch a bit.
11:21 pm
firefly779

Onpaki - I only have the one that's "the most sick"
11:22 pm
Nef

and I don't have an il 6 yet (thanks for that 1, firefly)
11:23 pm
firefly779

the other il6 comes after that one, as shown on Lickety's
11:23 pm
firefly779

and probably has a plural as there's an il7 right after
11:24 pm
Nef

Il 6= sick + not heavy
11:25 pm
firefly779

aha! good one Nef
11:25 pm
firefly779

and the plural then works too
11:28 pm
Nef

firefly, the thing about working in ICU, we had mo4/5 of our patients were intubated & on breathing machines. I'd explain to my patients that if they felt nauseous, I could give them medicine to get rid of the nausea, but if they threw up I probably would join them. ;-)
Not many of them liked that idea...
11:28 pm
Nef

yep
11:29 pm
Nef

(I need to go check my laundry, BBS.
11:29 pm
firefly779

Oh my! I had so many anti nausea meds once, and not one helped. Fentanyl just doesn't agree with me!
11:30 pm
firefly779

I must be off myself, bedtime. Nice chatting!
11:35 pm
