good morning all
1:01 am
Kamanjah

Hiya Sprite! I just now popped in too!
1:02 am
sprite

hi Kam :) *hug* How are you doing today?
1:02 am
Kamanjah

I got some long overdue stuff out of the way, so I'm happy! How are you doing?
1:03 am
sprite

ah that can be such a relief. I am okay.
1:12 am
sprite

and how is Michael?
1:13 am
Kamanjah

Doing well. His cut finger is healing nicely, but it has kept him from going to his Rock Steady boxing program. Can't be punching bags with a one inch gash in your middle finger!
1:13 am
sprite

better not, lol. But not fun that he is missing out on his boxing. It does him a world of good, doesn't it?
1:14 am
Kamanjah

So, his balance is suffering a bit, and he's been sleeping more, but I think once he gets back "with the program" he'll be a lot better. He finished his cabinet, and it looks great!
1:15 am
sprite

woooot for Michael! Good job!
1:17 am
Kamanjah

I think Rock Steady is one of the greatest programs for Parkinson's! They had to cancel one session last week due to power outages, but I'm hoping by next week, his finger will be ready for a light workout - at least he can do all of the whole body exercise and keep his hand away from danger.
1:19 am
sprite

sounds good. Am so happy for you guys that this is so rewarding.
1:21 am
Kamanjah

I'm glad they have a class that's not an hour away! It takes about 35-40 minutes to get there, but he enjoys getting out, and the town where the classes are has great grocery stores! So we get better food too - bonus!
1:22 am
sprite

win-win all the way. Sounds like a real blessing, honey
1:22 am
Kamanjah

I harvested my first two apples today! No bird damage either!
1:23 am
sprite

lol awesome :D Enjoy them.
1:24 am
Kamanjah

I shall! And the neighbor's horses don't get any that are intact! The dog may get a few nibbles - he just loves apples!
1:25 am
sprite

aww so cute
1:26 am
Kamanjah

That's how Michael cut his finger - feeding the horses! The local grocery will sell a huge bag of old apples for a couple of bucks, so we always grab them. Neighbor rescued an Arab gelding a few months back - he was skin and bones. He looks like a different critter now - very sweet boy. Fattened up nicely with decent care.
1:29 am
sprite

that is so good to hear. People can be so cruel to animals. Glad this one found a safe and loving home.
1:33 am
Kamanjah

She called Michael the day she adopted him - she was worried he would think neglect - he was the animal control officer for our county for 20 years and he had to contact her once several years ago about another she had rescued. He found no neglect, but she felt picked on - that was before we got together. She has spayed and neutered every feral cat in the area that she could trap, so we have plenty of cats, but I haven't seen kittens in several years. Good neighbor!
1:34 am
sprite

very good neighbour! And a good idea of her to tell Michael about the new rescue. Imagine, getting a bad rep while you are doing so much good work!
1:37 am
Kamanjah

Good neighbors are hard to come by - we're lucky - only have four with adjoining properties. The folks behind us now are new, and aren't too friendly, but I hope they manage to feel welcome - it's a nice rural area.
1:38 am
sprite

they may learn from the rest how nice it is to be friendly with your neighbours. We have always good neighbours, thank God
1:43 am
Kamanjah

I feel blessed here, after living in cramped housing tracts in Southern Calif for most of my life. I'm just glad I didn't buy a larger place 20 years ago! We get by now, but if not for Michael, I'd be hiring help now! I used to maintain it all by myself, but couldn't manage now. Amazing what 20 years can do, lol!
1:48 am
sprite

hehehe we somehow don't manage to get younger, no matter how hard we try ;)
1:48 am

1:58 am

btw lost another 1lb in fluid over last 24 hours.
1:58 am
grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!
1:59 am
sprite

wow rose... goes to show how bad it was, honey. Glad the excess fluid is getting rid of. You must be having an intimate relationship with your toilet, lol
1:59 am
grannyrose

lol, yup. can find my way there blindfolded...
2:00 am
grannyrose

what's on your agenda today sprite?
2:00 am
Kamanjah

'Grats, Sprite! Have a lovely day!
2:01 am
Kamanjah

Rose, glad to hear that excess fluid is leaving! You must have been miserable!
2:01 am
sprite

got to go, sorry to leave you lovely ladies. Tonight intervision for chat volunteer job, rose, and some administration now. *hugs*!
2:01 am
Lizlin

Have a lovely day, Sprite. Hugs
2:01 am
grannyrose

okay sweetie. try and take it slowly...says the kettle to the pot..
2:02 am
grannyrose

you got that right kam. only i didn't know just how much. i kept putting it down to my weight.
2:04 am
Kamanjah

Now you know the difference! I can't imagine carrying that much excess fluid - I'm super sensitive to any "water weight" - it's miserable. I hope you are feeling much better.
2:06 am
Lizlin

Hey Rose - didn’t realise you ‘d been unwell. HOpe you’re feeling much better with all that weight loss.
2:06 am
Kamanjah

And I have carried nearly 70 extra pounds of fat around, which took a massive diet change to get rid of
2:07 am
grannyrose

i am lizgirl. and kam, now i know what it feels like.
2:09 am
Kamanjah

It's totally different, and I'm glad you finally got that straightened out! You'll feel better - but remember to stay hydrated too.
2:12 am
grannyrose

kam, i have a freezer full of icy pole tubes. only 70ml (2oz) per tube.
2:14 am
grannyrose

one of those every hour or two keeps me from screaming for a drink. i find the cold helps quench my thirst more. also a small bowl of fresh fruit salad keeps the salivary glands working and my mouth moist.
2:24 am
Kamanjah

Sorry to disappear for a few - had some chores needing doing!
Do you have to restrict your water intake? That would drive me crazy because I get dry mouth so badly.
2:25 am
grannyrose

yes, kam, to 1.5liter/day. that's just over 50 ounces.
2:26 am
Kamanjah

I use the xytol mints at night to try to keep my mouth from turning into a desert.
2:27 am
Kamanjah

Oh dear, that must be difficult. You're dealing with way more than I am. Sending prayers your way!

I use one or two when I get in bed just to try to keep my mouth hydrated - the cavities from dry mouth are getting expensive! You'll never see me without a jug of water. I'm sorry you have to deal with fluid intake restrictions.

it's hard kam as i am also taking a med to stop the heavy water loss through my skin. i perspire so heavily my hair becomes dripping wet, and my back is soaking. the med also dries out my mouth.
2:35 am

Uh, have they figured out what is causing all of the water retention while you're losing so much at the same time? I hope you can get a handle on that! If I had to restrict fluids I think I might go a bit crazy. I hope they can get your system straightened out soon!

Id like to give the enable dictionary a jolly good shake up. I find lots of words quite offensive
6:46 am
MollyL

People were talking about that yesterday. The purpose of a dictionary (or word list, like Enable) is to define words. All words.
6:52 am
sukee

Words are words...
6:55 am
MollyL

I read an article about one of the editors of the Merriam Webster Dictionary that said "There’s no escaping profanity, which is why dictionaries can’t be precious. Editors have to include slurs, curses, and other offensive words in linguistic compilations because they’re responsible for keeping a cultural record that contains the good, the bad, and the ugly."
6:55 am
sukee

I agree.
7:05 am
mattygroves

Words (and things) are only offensive if you take offense - and everyone has different things that offend them. There are definitely words that most people don't use in polite company but that doesn't mean they don't exist and so will always exist in dictionaries and word lists that depend on them
7:05 am
jwr again

sukee and Molly speak truth. I try to remember that "offense" is totally subjective, and that what makes people uncomfortable in one "English" may be acceptable or have an entirely different in another part of the world. It's an amazingly flexible language. {And Babble has its own censorship, after all: there are words that NEVER appear in the grids]
7:05 am
Lizlin

I totally agree Matty - it's about how words are used.
7:05 am
mattygroves

I'd rather be offended, as a rule, than censored.
7:06 am
sukee

Well said matty
7:06 am
Lizlin

I agree with that too.
7:06 am
marilyn992

I also agree. I don't think the dictionary should be censored.
7:06 am

Just curious. What words NEVER appear. We have had all the "usual suspects" when it comes to offensive words.
7:06 am
jwr again

matty: Snap!
7:06 am

The "n" word, for instance.
7:07 am
mattygroves

Also, there's a difference between acknowledging a word exists and using it in conversation.
7:07 am
jwr again

And the "c'
7:07 am
sukee

I have seen the c word in here.
7:07 am
mattygroves

The C word is definitely accepted in Babble
7:08 am
MollyL

The c word is in grids a lot.
7:08 am
MollyL

The n word is accepted in Babble as well.
7:09 am
Lizlin

Language changes - in the Middle Ages the c word was not taboo.
7:09 am
MollyL

As a matter of fact, whenever the c word is in grids, there are at least five or six "oh, I hate that word" comments.
7:09 am
mattygroves

The funny thing, too, about language, is how it changes. Some words lose their sting/offensiveness over time (at least for large sections of a population). 'Hell' would have been seen as a much naughtier word even 50 or 60 years ago than it typically is now. It made a stir when Star Trek used that word, only once.
7:09 am
jwr again

hmm. I've never seen either of them. I'll take your "words" for it.
7:10 am
mattygroves

I think it's always dangerous, though, when someone says 'that thing shouldn't exist.' I hate reality TV programmes, but I don't propose they should be banned (that's what the off switch and the channel changer is for)
7:10 am

I have never seen the N word in here.

I'm convinced that if women would stop cringing and crying every time a man pulls out the c word as his big gun in an argument, that the word would lose it's impact.

That's part of its flexibility.Language is a function of culture - it changes as we change. Once upon a time (not so long ago - in my grandparents late 19th Century way - English was taught globally from the same texts. Since then, it has adapted increasingly to the cultures it expresses.
7:16 am
MollyL

There is a generation that is still offended by the f word, yet it is used on most cable TV programming.
7:18 am
mattygroves

Indeed. And whilst I'm not, I wouldn't use it in a job interview, for example
7:19 am
marilyn992

It's not used in polite conversation though, so you don't see it on network TV. There are certain boundaries.
7:19 am
jwr again

True, Molly. And it goes both ways. Any word can become offensive if it is attached to something a majority of people dislike. After all, Nazi was originally just the name of a political party.
7:22 am
jwr again

Marilyn, that's the point: "polite" conversation differs among generations, for instance ... and it changes rapidly these days.
7:23 am
mattygroves

And it differs between countries, even those that share a common language. In the UK, I can ask, even in the poshest of restaurants, where the toilet is. Most Americans, I think, would use a euphemism. Bathroom, rest room, ladies' room etc
7:24 am
mattygroves

People at my brother's wedding in Baltimore in the 90s found it hilarious to get my seven year old daughter to say 'wanker' - a reasonably naughty word here in the UK, but a rather silly word in the US

American (that is, the English spoken int the U.S.) uses more euphemisms than any other. We're a nation of prudes ... or it looks that way to others.

But we rarely use it for the bath. I wonder why we can't say the toilet?
7:28 am

I thought y'all UK people said "loo"
7:28 am

Toilet is the exact same euphemism, just a century older. It comes from French for dressing gown.
7:29 am
hokie carla

wanker is a solid word, I need to use it more
7:29 am
Vicuna

I should say 16th or 17th century French.
7:29 am
mattygroves

We say 'loo,' 'bog', 'khazi' etc, depending on the person, audience and level of (semi) vulgarity ;)
7:29 am
Dorens

true vicuna, but for the last couple of centuries it means the receptacle of our bodily waste
7:30 am
jwr again

My mother, born in '05, used the word "shit" for the first time -- aloud, anyway -- in 1995 on. It became a family joke. Her father had told her that once she turned 90, she could say whatever she wanted. Like the doctor telling you that after you had your tonsils out, you could have all the ice cream you wanted. It wasn't supposed to happen.
7:30 am
MollyL

When Canadians ask where is the washroom in America, they often get directed to a laundry room.
: D
7:30 am
hokie carla

lol
7:31 am
Vicuna

Yes, but by the same argument, bathroom doesn't mean [just] the room where we take baths. It means the room in which we evacuate our bodily wastes.
7:31 am

Never heard the word "khazi" -- where does that come from?
7:31 am
MollyL

And there are people in the Northeast regions of America who don't know what commode means.
7:31 am

I have no idea, jwr! But you do hear it. The internet (a word NOT accepted by Babble) should be able to tell us!
7:31 am
hokie carla

I read a travel blog post once by an Irish girl who was complaining that Americans overuse "awesome" and said it doesn't mean what we think it means. I would argue the same is true for UK use of "brilliant".
7:32 am

True, and we are not usually "resting" in the restroom.
7:32 am

7:32 am

7:33 am

When I was a child, I thought rest rooms were for resting! Mind you, I also thought signs you saw on the highway that read 'littering: $100 fine' meant that it was fine to litter $100 bills.

7:36 am

I hate it when people qualify 'unique' - as in 'very unique'. Unique means 'one of a kind' and so it is literally a unique word. When qualifying it, you dilute its meaning to 'very uncommon or rare' and there are already words for that
