1:53 am

melonheadjujube

OK, nbt, nbs, > halfwat,and all the the ≥ 7 letters. Mediocrity attained!

1:54 am

melonheadjujube

1:54 am

TraderKate

TraderKate

Good morning ruby, coffee and peace and quiet in pritemps :)

5:10 am

rubyfoo

They were ideal houseguest, actually would have been happy to sleep in their camper. But the guestroom and bath were clean and ready, and they were certainly more comfortable in the "luxe" suite!

5:12 am

rubyfoo

3specially since it's wonderful & hot, but they had been living in the camper for 2>> weeks nd when it's hot out, the camper stays too hot to be comfortable

5:12 am

TraderKate

How long were they with you?

5:14 am

TraderKate

remembering the hot campers of my youth..bet they were very happy for coolness to sleep. How warm is it there now?

5:14 am

rubyfoo

Only since Thursday and we ate lunch in restaurants, just grazed here at night and Jacky clened up afterwards, but still......l have no strength and amnot used to having company & conversation for hours!

5:15 am

rubyfoo

lt'sclose to 90F in the afternoon, great for me after this cruel winter, but too hot for everybody else$

5:16 am

TraderKate

That must have been fairly wearing on you, though I'm sure you were glad of the company - just for a change of pace...

5:16 am

rubyfoo

jacky and l played at least 10games of scrabble

5:18 am

TraderKate

That's a lot of Scrabble! Good games I hope :)
Is she an old school chum?

5:20 am

rubyfoo

5:20 am

rubyfoo

5:20 am

rubyfoo

5:21 am

TraderKate

How wonderful! A mini meet-up! Babble truly is a wonderful little world. Very glad that you have made such a nice firend - that you actually get to meet!

5:22 am

TraderKate

She was worried about you? (I am guessing you haven't revealed your secret identity as Wonder Woman to her then...)

5:29 am

rubyfoo

Jacky knew how despairing l was during the cruel winter, but ready for my3rd cycle of chemo, l'm doing very well, so l'm less scared

6:03 am

rubyfoo

6:06 am

TraderKate

Don't be in a hurry on my account ruby - I have been away a very long time from regular chog. There is much to catch up on...I am so happy the you are doing so GREAT - and that you have pulled through the horrid winter that never ended!

6:08 am

TraderKate

There once was a Babbler named ruby
who rolled up a virtual doobie...
;)

6:10 am

rubyfoo

She puffed it a lot, having always liked pot, but plays babble STILL like a newbie!

6:13 am

TraderKate

ROFL....that's much better than the original :)

6:14 am

6:17 am

rubyfoo

What's in a name, But definitely an Irish heart!

6:20 am

TraderKate

The gift of the gab, sharp wit, ability to hold twice your weight in alcohol... and knows cool words. Who could ask for more in a woman?

6:21 am

rubyfoo

and can fly-fish!

6:22 am

TraderKate

Oh my! You are indeed a woman of many talents! Ididn't know that one... do you actually tie your own flies as well... careful with your answer some man may swoon if it is in the affirmative... :D

6:26 am

rubyfoo

when l caught "my" 23" rainbow trout, l used an already-made "fuzzy bunny" fly, while husband and guide were both using smaller more realistic-looking flies and were boçth fishing up'tiver fromme. lt's one of the hight points of my whole life!!

6:27 am

rubyfoo

sorry for typos

6:30 am

TraderKate

Typos not an issue. Signed, The Typo Queen :)
That mist have made your yearruby... yu showed them thar men types how a real woman does it... and I won't tell scrabs that yu were using fuzzy bunnies as bait... ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6:31 am

TraderKate

Belated congratulations are in order, but 23 skeedoo just doesn't seem to fit the bill. :/

6:33 am

rubyfoo

The other high point was watching a meteor shower from the cockpit of a 747 (obviously before 9/11, when you could get a lot of milage out of being "cute")

6:35 am

rubyfoo

mileage*

6:36 am

TraderKate

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wowzers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know what you mean about the cockpit. I went up on every flight I was ever on ( haven't flown since 9/11)

6:37 am

rubyfoo

(l've just done what l dislike in others, monopolized the chog) vert bad MOI!!

6:37 am

rubyfoo

very*

6:41 am

TraderKate

Bah1 No one is around any way... it's been very quiet for the last week - especially with all the small grids. Pretty sure if someone wanted a clue or to say hello, they would. They are all lurking and making us do the work <snort>... I am a terrible written convdersationalist. Perhaps we put them all to sleep? ;)

6:43 am

rubyfoo

Kate, l just tried 3 times to send you a quick note, but l couldn-t get your address into the box without losing it

6:43 am

rubyfoo

you are a great conversatiionalist but you'll have to write first!

6:44 am

TraderKate

hmmm computer gremlins.... I will go fire up yahoo and send y ou a quick e-mail, so you have it for your contacts...it'll take a couple minutes.

6:44 am

rubyfoo

6:46 am

Lizlin

Hi all

6:46 am

rubyfoo

Hello Liz

6:46 am

Lizlin

Hi Ruby - how are you keeping?

6:46 am

Lizlin

Has spring come yet?

6:47 am

rubyfoo

l owe you a letter, but l've had houseguests and it will have to wait a little longer

6:48 am

Lizlin

No problem. We also had house guests - with us for just over 2 weeks. We were pretty exhausted after they left.

6:48 am

Lizlin

As a friend said, it's lovely having guests but it's also lovely when they go :)

6:49 am

rubyfoo

lt is lovely and HOT in the afternoons and l'm basking in it. l need all the warmth l can get after this dreadful winter.

6:50 am

Lizlin

I bet your garden is beginning to look lovely with spring flowers. Here the colder weather is just beginning. We've actually put our duvet back on the bed for the first time today.

6:51 am

rubyfoo

Exactly! They're English and have been here twice before. l did much more outdoors (a little gardening, walking, etc;, & l'm totally spent!)

6:52 am

Lizlin

So now you can relax in the afternoon sun with the dogs.

6:54 am

rubyfoo

The garden gets prettier every day -- many tulips, allysum, several floweribg shrubs l don't recognize and all the trees are either leafing up on=r in full flower: cherry, faux peach, quince, two plum, hazelnut, tulipier

6:55 am

Lizlin

I think spring is probably my favourite season - both here and when I lived in the UK.

6:55 am

rubyfoo

The garden and dogs bring me much joy

6:55 am

TraderKate

Quick e-mail sent ruby, I will leave you and Liz (hi Liz) to catch up. 0800 here and I must try to sleep soon.

MollyL

How are things Cos? I sent you an email when I read your posts in chat last night. Hope I used the right address.

11:03 am

I havent even looked at email..... I was hoping ud read the chat actually

11:03 am

cosdem

i dont even know what email i have anymore i ony use work email lol

11:04 am

MollyL

Well, you know my thoughts and prayers are with you and Ryan. That is really all the email said. I was thinking about your upcoming birthday, but this is not a time you feel like celebrating, I'm sure.

11:05 am

cosdem

he was admited 3 years ago to the same day...

11:05 am

cosdem

his mom and i are furious at his doctor from 3 years ago... 6 momths after that he todl ryan he could have some driks ocassionally

11:05 am

cosdem

why the hell would u tell an alcohlic that

11:06 am

MollyL

Many medical doctors have no clue about alcoholism

11:06 am

cosdem

yesterday was the first day in 14 years we did not talk

11:06 am

MollyL

And HELLO, alcoholics do not "have some drinks occasionally".

11:11 am

rururocks

I hope you are getting support from close friends or able to go to a support meeting or someone

11:13 am

MollyL

Oh, that is the other thing I said in my email Cos. Ask for what you need, and lean on the people you love. It is important when things like this are going on. Internet support can only get you so far.

11:28 am

car.eeyore

Cos...I'm not sure what is going on other than from what I see in the chat. But I agree with Molly 110%...I have gotten so much out of support gropus...and I was skeptical going in.

I'm trying to work on my sense of humor

I think I have the same problem marc

12:47 pm

12:48 pm

Marc Freeman

My kids and wife may argue with that sentiment. I continue on though.

12:54 pm

MollyL

Amusing yourself is okay. If other people don't get it. at least you gave yourself a chuckle or two. The overly dramatic and humorless can go find their own places to thrive.

1:08 pm

rururocks

my whole life now is about amusing myself :D

1:12 pm

MollyL

I would rather do that than spend my life with someone dry, humorless and needy. At least you are happy.

Good Evening. I have 25 words done and 205 to go. 8-/

10:38 pm

Yay Nef! Practically finished :-)

10:39 pm

Nef

Yeah; don't I wish! It seems like there have been small grids all week -- until the day I don't get here until 2 hrs before flip!

10:40 pm

TraderKate

Bah1 list right away and go yo it... I will lob clues as required. you can do it! There are only a couple "stinkers" in here

10:41 pm

TraderKate

stinker words, that is...

10:42 pm

Nef

Well, I'm at 56 words now; think that's early enough to list? (I usually don't until I get at least 1/2 way). Then again, *I'm* the one who set that rule.

10:42 pm

TraderKate

U try for halfway too... many wait much longer ;)

10:43 pm

TraderKate

I'd list - that will ensure finishing.

10:45 pm

Nef

I should try it once that way, huh? Okay; I will. :-) (thanks for the encouragement!)
Many times I play games with how I fill in the grid: black out all of the edge pieces first, etc. but this isn't one of those days.

10:45 pm

TraderKate

rur and Molly were around not long ago, sure they will hwlp with clueing

10:46 pm

Nef

That's okay. I'm sure with using the list I'll at least have a "respectable" score....

10:46 pm

TraderKate

nah... this is a list and run through it quickly... see what that nets, then you can go back and pick up anything that didn't immediately jump out at you.

10:47 pm

TraderKate

I have no doubt you will finish. Go to it1

10:48 pm

Nef

Thanks, Kate! :-)

10:48 pm

TraderKate

:-) No chat, head down and type. BBS, just finishing stuff inn kitchen.

10:57 pm

NatashaW

so feel free to poof

10:57 pm

Nef

Seriously, Kate; don't worry about my finishing or not. I've had to learn this is a game; it doesn't bother me if I won't finish

10:59 pm

TraderKate

OK, but we'll see.... ;)

Nef

LOL! (Maybe you shouldn't push it yet? ;-)

11:21 pm

Nef

If he's moving to rehab; check & see if they allow pets. (I know that when I worked ICU for so many years, there were times we'd allow pets in for certain patients; but they'd have to prove that shots were up to date, & that they were freshly bathed)

11:21 pm

Nef

Meaning the pets, not the patients.

11:22 pm

I don't know if I've told you before; but I have a brother (1 of 3) who's an alcoholic; he went through DT's twice & nearly died. He's now been sober for 5 years. He lives alone & moved 200 miles from where he used to work (& where he finally got straight) last year & is still doing good. (His liver is shot; but he's hanging in there -- just turned 66 too!0

11:26 pm

Most nurses are nice (says the old retired one! ;-)

11:26 pm

cosdem

cosdem

11:32 pm

TraderKate

is the paxil an ongoing thing? doesn't do much as a one time thing. needs to build up in yout system...

11:35 pm

Nef

cos, my brother stayed here for a whole summer for the "90 meetings in 90 days" program; I drove him to his meetings and went to the ALANON meetings myself. (that was after the first time he went through DTs). The whole "One day at a time" is very true

11:35 pm

maggiej

11:36 pm

cosdem

its hard.. none in town are interpreted and most wont hire one due to confidentiality reasons

Nef

Ahh, yes, I forgot about that. Sorry. But the book helps. Both the AA book, and the ALANON book (I still use my daily Alanon book for daily meditations when I'm over-stressed)

11:38 pm

11:48 pm

Nef

11:49 pm

cosdem

lol i shld of told u! my fault

11:51 pm

Nef

I justthink it's pretty darn funny now; don't feel bad; just imagine me driving you around the Cities & telling you about all the history & such here --- in the DARK!. Just the thought makes me both embarrassed & laugh!

11:52 pm

cosdem

lol that would have beeen awkwrd funny

11:52 pm

Nef

And then you tried to sleep in the airport near a bunch of teenagers or young adults!

11:55 pm

Nef

(If you think that that would have been funny; you should have seen me trying to communicate with non-English speaking patients when I was working as a nurse! (especially little old Russians who didn't have a clue about what I was trying to pantomime!

11:56 pm

Nef

Geez, Kate! I'm not going to get to half way tonight; -- almost there; but I broke the rule about no chat! ;-)

11:56 pm

TraderKate

(picturing Nef driving cos around the city in the dark trying to "talk" to him in pitch black)...

TraderKate
