grannyrose

any nerve pain i have from the neck down will be targeted. i am so looking forward to being able to mobilise without screaming.

12:34 am

grannyrose

thanx guys and gals. i'm just about bursting with excitement. and anticipation. the trial one had good effect after only three days.

12:35 am

SueMagee

That must be such a relief.

12:36 am

grannyrose

SueMagee

Nope.

12:40 am

grannyrose

bless you. dr. is going to put one wire at thoracic 12 and one at cervical 2 which should cover all my nerve pain, even the neuropathic pain. the actual device and battery will be under my skin on my left hip. the battery is recharged by induction.

12:41 am

SueMagee

That’s quite a range.

12:42 am

SueMagee

Fingers crossed it goes well, rose.

12:42 am

grannyrose

12:45 am

SueMagee

The good thing is that you’re thinking about flying.

12:46 am

grannyrose

still a rather large hunk of our world i haven't se4.

12:55 am

cybernan

maybe not, rose --- I go through most airport checks with artifical knees and they don't set any alarms off

12:57 am

grannyrose

7:57 am

hokie carla

7:57 am

hokie carla

for some reason the national forests have no cell towers ;)

7:58 am

MollyL

Many people who camp prefer to "unplug" and enjoy nature, I guess.

7:58 am

hokie carla

I know, crazy

7:59 am

MollyL

I remember kayaking once, and there was this guy, out in the middle of a gorgeous lake at sunrise, yacking away on his cell phone. I mean, what is the point?

8:00 am

hokie carla

it's a little rainy this morning

8:01 am

hokie carla

yeah, I wouldn't do that. but it's nice for downtime and in case of emergencies to have cell service.

8:05 am

Judi

I'm missing the first Wr4/8 and first Wr5/18. Grrrr.

8:15 am

mery9419

otoh maybe the cell phone guy was at work... who could want a better "office?'

8:15 am

hokie carla

I'd be afraid of dropping it in the water. maybe if you had it in a ziploc it would float.

8:37 am

rururocks

there is hope for me now

8:38 am

hokie carla

as far as what?

8:38 am

rururocks

i figured out what otoh was without asking

MLFAN17

8:39 am

hokie carla

8:44 am

mkg

8:47 am

MollyL

8:47 am

rururocks

8:48 am

rururocks

2:38 pm

MLFAN17

3:02 pm

MollyL

ar7 ends in alternate spelling of not day

3:28 pm

hokie carla

wow, well done, mlfan. I still have 2 E's there I can't find.

3:39 pm

cybernan

ty molly - we have had that before :)

3:40 pm

cybernan

quite a time delay - have been out raking up leaves before the snow that is forecast for tomorrow

3:45 pm

hokie carla

it was 70F here in the western NC mountains today. pretty unusual I think.

3:49 pm

cybernan

nice golf weather, carla

3:53 pm

hokie carla

hiked 4 miles with the dog and then mountain biked 5 miles, though a lot of that was hike-a-bike

3:56 pm

cybernan

sound like you are staying active. Wish I could still do all that

3:57 pm

cybernan

*preferably in some european country that is still enjoying warm weather!

4:07 pm

hokie carla

my hips are still a little sore from pickleball on Sat! also rolled my ankle on the hike so it hurts a little. my friend and I talk all the time about how much worse it is than in our 30s. not sure how long I'll be able to stay active!

4:08 pm

moolingwa

Back, trying to see if I can knock off some of these remaining 28

4:09 pm

hokie carla

I broke down and went to the list with 64 left!

4:09 pm

moolingwa

it's a bit of a slog for sure, no shame in that

4:09 pm

cybernan

wa 4 til you get to your late 70's - it's a whole new ball game

4:10 pm

hokie carla

still 13 4s and not even seeing those.

4:10 pm

moolingwa

I have 1 4 left

4:10 pm

hokie carla

I know, I always joke that mentally I think I'm still 25 and physically I don't feel a day over 75.

4:11 pm

moolingwa

ah, just found my second nine

4:11 pm

hokie carla

so moo, are you saying I should be able to find these 4's and there's not 13 new ones (to me) in there.

4:11 pm

moolingwa

for the most part, yes

4:13 pm

hokie carla

I usually reach a point where I've looked so many times there's just no way I'm seeing them.

4:13 pm

moolingwa

I find stepping away and returning normally helps me get a bunch more...I've been away since about your walk earlier

4:14 pm

hokie carla

yeah, that sometimes helps but not this 3rd time back. I was stuck about 90 before the first break, so I did find a few more.

4:14 pm

moolingwa

ah

4:15 pm

MollyL

Carla, if you are walking 4 miles and biking 5 miles in a day, you are feeling a lot less than 75 physically.

4:16 pm

hokie carla

I'm going to have to hit some Aleve or Motrin I think

4:21 pm

hokie carla

definitely more active day than usual

4:23 pm

MollyL

I would guess if you are not accustomed to nine miles of strenuous exercise, it was

4:23 pm

cybernan

need help with the last se 5-6 combo please

4:24 pm

hokie carla

not sure they are really a combo. one is a deadly gas I think. then add a vowel.

4:25 pm

hokie carla

never mind, it is a bird

4:25 pm

cybernan

the se 5 is a bird?

4:26 pm

hokie carla

according to dictionary link

4:26 pm

cybernan

not a common one I guess

4:27 pm

hokie carla

now I'm wondering what deadly gas I am thinking of

4:28 pm

cybernan

not close with either clue I'm afraid

4:29 pm

hokie carla

well, the 6 looks like it might rhyme with a calm feeling that is also se6 but not in this grid. so if you find that, drop the last letter.

4:31 pm

cybernan

ty carla

4:31 pm

MollyL

se5 is a bird. sa5 is the toxic gas

4:32 pm

periwinkle

47 left bbl

4:32 pm

hokie carla

aha, that's right

4:32 pm

cybernan

*!*~*!* off to make a late late lunch

4:33 pm

hokie carla

early suppertime here

4:33 pm

MollyL

sa5 is also a poison mentioned in Breaking Bad

4:33 pm

hokie carla

4:47 pm

hokie carla

4:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

except for iron, what in the world could start with ir and be a compound word? *thinking*

4:48 pm

JaxH66

Type of pots

4:48 pm

hokie carla

think of things made of that

4:50 pm

hokie carla

ugh, I can't find these last 6 ra's

4:50 pm

moolingwa

I have 4 r's left

4:50 pm

moolingwa

no doubt some of those are ra's

4:50 pm

hokie carla

I have 4 from top R and 2 from left

4:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

okay it will take some thought, hopefully will bubble up

4:51 pm

moolingwa

Oh I have 5 r's remaining, still one off the bottom r...two off the left and two off the top

4:51 pm

hokie carla

just found the top 4 ra. no idea what those mean.

4:51 pm

moolingwa

the mouse queues?

4:51 pm

hokie carla

yep

4:51 pm

moolingwa

yeah, had that 4 set

4:52 pm

hokie carla

ok, monkeyed the left 2 based on points. also don't know those.

4:53 pm

hokie carla

now to the S's

4:53 pm

moolingwa

4:53 pm

hokie carla

also 5 left

4:54 pm

moolingwa

4 s's

4:54 pm

moolingwa

serenia sounds like a My Little Pony land

4:55 pm

hokie carla

are you a brony?

4:55 pm

moolingwa

ah, no

4:56 pm

hokie carla

your daughter? I am not really familiar with My Little Pony even though the first time around was when I was a kid.

4:56 pm

moolingwa

she was a couple of years back

4:58 pm

moolingwa

found my last 4

4:58 pm

moolingwa

4:58 pm

hokie carla

hmm, no k

5:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

no okra

5:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

no oxtail, nor irradiate

5:01 pm

dcseain

i love okra.

5:01 pm

moolingwa

no alterior

5:01 pm

MollyL

He is talking about the ro4

5:01 pm

dcseain

no orient neither

5:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

ah

5:02 pm

moolingwa

indeed I am...a delicious ro4 with capsicum, onion and celery...smells so good

5:02 pm

MollyL

You gotta stir that ro4 a long time to get it nice and brown, chere

5:02 pm

moolingwa

You can cheat and do it in the oven, but I'm more of a stirrer myself...get it to that toasty peanut butter colour

5:02 pm

dcseain

a lightly browned one adds a nice nuttiness to a cheese sauce.

5:03 pm

dcseain

yes, stovetop FTW

5:03 pm

dcseain

speed checked with Li5

5:03 pm

hokie carla

not a gumbo fan here

5:04 pm

MollyL

You can cheat with a lot of recipes, however it never turns out as good

5:04 pm

moolingwa

sometimes true, sometimes not...depends

5:04 pm

dcseain

so many things are based on a ro4, including at least one French Mother Sauce.

5:05 pm

dcseain

true, moolingwa. ra--- is more common for checking speed.

5:05 pm

hokie carla

li5 is for looking for things underground

5:06 pm

moolingwa

For instance, food processors help a lot for making sofrito

5:07 pm

moolingwa

also for certain thai and indian foods that you want more of a sauce than a broth as the base

5:08 pm

moolingwa

seem to be stuck a bit at 22 here

5:08 pm

MollyL

Well, since I have no interest in sofrito, that would not be in my kitchen experience

5:09 pm

Trifioso

does the bottom lone o have something to do with not in?

5:09 pm

moolingwa

Half my wife's family is Cuban, so learned a bit of Cuban cooking

5:09 pm

hokie carla

5:09 pm

hokie carla

no, it's like a bay window, trif

5:10 pm

Trifioso

ah, so it is! thank you, hoki

5:10 pm

moolingwa

though it sounds more like an angel :)

5:10 pm

moolingwa

still have 4 t's

5:11 pm

hokie carla

why was ta4 so hard to find with the list when I got the re version of it this morning

5:12 pm

moolingwa

maybe you were just a bit behind on your guesses

5:13 pm

hokie carla

too tired to think of another pun :D

5:13 pm

moolingwa

there are nerite snails, but apparently they're really Nerite snails

5:16 pm

moolingwa

5:17 pm

hokie carla

moolingwa

5:19 pm

hokie carla

5:19 pm

moolingwa

think you might finish first :)

5:20 pm

hokie carla

maybe, maybe not

5:20 pm

moolingwa

all outcomes are still possible

5:20 pm

moolingwa

Maybe I'll just refuse to concede that you finished first

5:20 pm

hokie carla

did you finish 8s and 9s?

5:21 pm

moolingwa

2x8 and 1x9 remaining

5:21 pm

wouldn't it be cool if we could just get our "emotion chip" removed like Data from star trek

7:22 pm

MollyL

What?

7:24 pm

MollyL

Are you wishing to be emotionless?

7:29 pm

hurshy

yes

7:33 pm

LuvWordGames

Is everything okay hursh? What emotions don't you want to feel?

7:42 pm

hurshy

all of them

7:44 pm

hurshy

like if we have to keep on functioning and do some work or something to make money to survive, that would be just so much easier without emotions

7:46 pm

rururocks

all ok with your military guy hursh?

7:46 pm

hurshy

7:46 pm

rururocks

hurshy

yeah i'm pretty predictable

7:47 pm

rururocks

It's so hard to have a new distanced relationship.. I hope you aren't being hard on yourself

7:50 pm

hurshy

i don't think so... i mean i didn't do anything wrong... it's just life being hard on me

7:50 pm

rururocks

yeah.. been there.. i get it

7:51 pm

hurshy

it's just the first time i was really happy and

7:51 pm

it certainly might be over for me, but I'm a lot older than you
