hokie carla

hey bea and welki
8:14 am
BzznBea

Morning, welki.
8:15 am
hokie carla

not wearing my glasses though so evrything is a bit of a blur
8:16 am
BzznBea

What have you been keeping yourself busy with, Carla?
8:17 am
hokie carla

just busy trying to not move my head in the position that gives me vertigo
8:17 am
hokie carla

phantom fanatic
8:18 am
welki

ugh, vertigo. you've had it before, if i remember correctly. does the epley maneuver work for you?
8:19 am
hokie carla

yes, last Feb. and it worked. tried doing it myself at home Mon but it didn't work. made an appt with the PT who fixed me before but can't get in until the 7th.
8:20 am
hokie carla

my reg dr gave me these cawthorne exercises I am going to try in a little bit. those say to do in morning and at night everyday until it starts to get better. so I guess I'll do those until the 7th.
8:22 am
welki

i've never heard of those (looking them up)
8:22 am
hokie carla

slept on the couch last night to keep me from flipping around.
8:22 am
hokie carla

I hadn't either
8:22 am
welki

at least you don't need a spotter for those exercises, like you do with some of the other maneuvers (which likely would land me in an emergency department if i tried them)
8:23 am
hokie carla

yeah, mr. homie was in there timing me when I did the home epley. that was really bad and I felt sick all day after it.
8:25 am
welki

i empathize with you. the episodes aren't just annoying, they're frightening
8:26 am
hokie carla

was walking winston yesterday and bent down to look at something on him and almost fell over. have postponed my trip to my mom's house and will not be doing any mt. biking or pickleball.
8:28 am
BzznBea

Is your vertigo caused by crystals, Carla?
8:28 am
hokie carla

thanks, they are indeed, though not as frightening this time. I feel like I can manage it better now. the first time I stayed in bed for hours not realizing it would pass in about a minute.
8:28 am
hokie carla

yes, that's what they said last time, bea.
8:29 am
hokie carla

the epley man. is supposed to move the crystal out of the inner ear canal.
8:43 am
bichon

Have had that maneuver a couple of times
8:46 am
hokie carla

it's amazing how horrible it is but then it works.
8:46 am
bichon

The first time I had vertigo, I was very nauseous.
8:47 am
hokie carla

I was nauseous pretty much all day yesterday and the day before
8:48 am
MollyL

*Puts on Tommy Roe's "Dizzy"
8:48 am
bichon

I am prone to motion sickness
8:49 am
hokie carla

me too, bichon! my kids think I'm making it up when some motion makes me sick.
8:49 am
MollyL

Carla, do you have a problem with heights?
8:50 am
bichon

The only thing that works is a patch. However, it gives me dry mouth
8:51 am
hokie carla

it's funny you ask, molly. I didn't think I did but then about 10 years ago I was doing one of those obstacle races, like warrior dash I think, and I would get to the top of the obstacles and freeze. took me forever to turn around and go down the other side.
8:51 am
MollyL

Also, have you been tested for Meniere's disease?
8:52 am
hokie carla

I have used the patch when I had anesthesia, bichon. def. get the dry mouth.
8:52 am
BzznBea

My daughter does the Spartan races.
8:52 am
hokie carla

yeah, they tested for that in Feb and said I don't have it.
8:53 am
hokie carla

they were fun at the time, but now I'm too old and out of shape for those 😁
8:53 am
bichon

What is the difference between Meniere's and vertigo?
8:53 am
hokie carla

vertigo is one part of meniere's
8:54 am
hokie carla

but you can have the vertigo (BPPV) without having meniere's
8:55 am
MollyL

Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear that causes vertigo, tinninitus and can cause hearing loss
8:56 am
hokie carla

my husband has been saying for years I must be deaf and the audiologist said I have above avg hearing. I said, you mean for my age? and she said, no, across all ages, kids too.
8:57 am
MollyL

What? You don't want to spell out Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo?
😜
8:59 am
hokie carla

hey, that is an acceptable and commonly used medical acronym! I didn't make it up.
8:59 am
BzznBea

Oh, you know Carla and her acronyms...
9:05 am
hurshy

almost have "perennial"
9:06 am
hokie carla

yes, I tried perennia just in case
9:06 am
hurshy

ME TOO
9:06 am
hurshy

whoops hit the caps there
9:07 am
MollyL

I only know the spelled-out version from my medical transcription days. And yes Bea, I know Carla is the acronym queen.
9:07 am
hokie carla

lol, I thought you were just emphasizing it
9:08 am
hurshy

not finding as many PL words as i would have expected
9:08 am
MollyL

You know how excited Hurshy gets about things like words.
9:08 am
hokie carla

did you have to spell it each time? or did you do it once and then put BPPV in parentheses after it and use that from then on?
9:09 am
hokie carla

I do know that
9:09 am
hurshy

i do, but in this case it was just the challenges of eating and babbling and having Rilla suckle on me all at the same time
9:09 am
MollyL

That depended on who I was transcribing for
9:09 am
MollyL

It really gives me the eebie geebies when you say your cat is suckling on you
9:09 am
hokie carla

ok, rilla suckling on you is TMI
9:09 am
hurshy

well really she's suckling on a hoodie string, she just sits on me to do it
9:10 am
MollyL

Thank you Carla
9:10 am
MollyL

Saying she is chewing on it paints a whole different picture
9:11 am
hurshy

she doesn't chew on it though
9:11 am
hokie carla

and interesting, I would say heebie jeebies. and it sounds creepier after that story of the woman breastfeeding her cat on an airplane.
9:11 am
hurshy

yes, although it turns out that woman was faking it to go viral
9:12 am
MollyL

Okay, now I need to go get a do it yourself lobotomy kit
9:12 am
hokie carla

well, there was a fake video made after the fact
9:13 am
hurshy

well anyway when you know in my case it's just a hoodie string it should be less creepy. and she's super cute.
9:16 am
hurshy

she also generally drops the string after a bit and just suckles on nothing in midair
9:16 am
hokie carla

you're right, it should be 😜
9:16 am
hokie carla

winston is practically sitting in my lap but he is sleeping
9:17 am
hurshy

nice
9:19 am
hokie carla

is it just me or are the P's and H's a pain and hard?
9:19 am
hurshy

kind of. i need 4 more of each.
9:19 am
hokie carla

I need 8 p's and 6 h's
9:19 am
hokie carla

and have been through both twice
9:20 am
hurshy

oh
9:20 am
hurshy

it helps to know the old-school language for Mary's Magnificat - "he hath ho6 his servant..."
9:21 am
hokie carla

geez, I also need 8 s's
9:22 am
hurshy

i haven't got to S yet
9:26 am
hokie carla

just found an H I thought 'twas merely a phantom
9:27 am
hurshy

hmmm
9:28 am
hokie carla

you probably have it
9:28 am
hurshy

ok
9:29 am
hokie carla

I was just using the wrong N in the middle because there are three n tiles
9:29 am
hurshy

when will you le5 to just enter things regardless of whether you can actually see how they connect
9:30 am
hokie carla

good question
9:30 am
hokie carla

I do usually check before declaring a phantom in the chat though
9:31 am
hurshy

ok, i have got to S and found all but 3
9:31 am
hurshy

make that 2
9:31 am
hokie carla

nice, still need 6
9:34 am
Uneaixoise

Clue for re7/28 please?
9:35 am
hurshy

looks like that is one of my 2 missing R!
9:35 am
Uneaixoise

Hmmmm
9:36 am
hokie carla

I only have 2 7's and that ain't one
9:36 am
Uneaixoise

It's my last 7......
9:36 am
hokie carla

do you know which R?
9:38 am
Uneaixoise

Have re7 glowed....
9:38 am
MollyL

Don't we all know the 1662 version of a Catholic prayer?
😜
9:38 am
hokie carla

thanks
9:38 am
hokie carla

well, no. some of us were raised methodist.
9:38 am

9:39 am
hokie carla

maybe you can do a more helpful clue for the non-catholics in the room. 😜
9:39 am
MollyL

I was joking, hence the smilie face
9:39 am
hurshy

i know it from the episcopal prayer book, not catholic, lol
9:39 am
hurshy

(i think molly is referring back to my mention of ho6)
9:39 am
MollyL

And I wasn't the one who mentioned it first
9:39 am
hokie carla

I knew you were joking
9:40 am
hokie carla

ah, so not a clue for re7/28
9:40 am
hokie carla

and I still need ho6 too
9:40 am
hokie carla

so which R has the re7/28?
9:41 am
MollyL

I thought only Catholics believed the whole blessed virgin thing
9:41 am
hurshy

every bible has the Magnificat
9:41 am
hurshy

Catholics just venerate Mary to a greater extent than other denominations
9:41 am
hokie carla

I thought you were talking about some cat book
9:42 am
hurshy

Magnificat = a latin word, nothing to do with cats. can see how me saying it could have caused that confusion tho.
9:43 am
MollyL

Oh great, now we are back to the breast feeding cat
9:43 am
Meatball421

The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary and she conceived of the Holy Spirit . . .
9:43 am
hokie carla

I'm surprised you don't have a cat named that 😜
9:43 am
hurshy

well, Opie is magnificent, so, i mean, i do sometimes employ it as a pun
9:43 am
mael

ohh, my favorite food is in the grid today
9:44 am
hokie carla

hmm, haven't seen any foods yet
9:44 am
MollyL

po7 is your favorite food?
9:44 am
mael

yup
9:44 am
hurshy

ooh cool i didn't have that
9:45 am
MollyL

Man, with steak and prime rib and lobster out there and your favorite food is mush? Who are you? Oliver?
9:45 am
hokie carla

didn't have it. I like it prepared certain ways. I do not like grits which is basically the same.
9:45 am
mael

we had it every sunday growing up, it's traditional with stew
9:45 am
mael

we certainly didn't eat prime rib and lobster in northern italy :)
9:46 am
dan2bit

I just assumed it was wi6s :-)
9:46 am
mael

in fact, my favorite is po7 with rabbit stew and mushrooms
9:46 am
mael

hahaha dan, not that there's anything wrong with we7s
9:46 am
hokie carla

mr. homie's grandfather is from northern italy and when mr. homie did the dna thing it basically said no italian. so we don't know if the northern italians came from elsewhere.
9:46 am
MollyL

Nope, I'm not going there. Nope.
9:47 am
mael

and I meant to type wi6, lol
9:47 am
hokie carla

thanks, dan, that was my last w.
9:47 am
mael

we're mostly tyrolean. I have very little actual "italian" blood in me
9:47 am
mael

all four of my grandparents were born austrian
9:48 am
hurshy

hmm, i'm having trouble with i words
9:48 am
mael

even though we are ethnically italian
9:48 am
hokie carla

interesting
9:48 am
hurshy

nvm :D pulled a pe4
9:49 am
hokie carla

I still need 1 i
9:49 am
MollyL

Personally, I don't believe in the accuracy of the DNA things
9:49 am
hokie carla

mine's pretty accurate based on what we know
9:49 am
mael

they tell you trends, not specifics. Mine's also accurate, as is my husband's
9:50 am
hurshy

ok i have gone through the whole grid now, 18 to go!
9:50 am
hurshy

and we still none of us have re7/28
9:51 am
hurshy

aha, i know now that it is from the upper right R
9:51 am
hokie carla

the only surprise is I have like 1% of ghana or ivory coast. and that kinda fills in some blanks on a brick wall we hit researching.
9:53 am
mael

also my real name is in the grid! what a day
9:53 am
MollyL

I have re7/28
9:53 am
hokie carla

wow, your name and your favorite food
9:54 am
hurshy

could you clue it, Molly?
9:54 am
mael

I know! it's great
9:54 am
MollyL

It ends in the last three letters of first, second and third in baseball. Hurshy's hated sport.
9:55 am
hurshy

ohhh it's that enzyme from like the stomach lining
9:55 am
hokie carla

ah, thanks
9:55 am
MollyL

Sorry, that was kind of a PB clue
9:55 am
mael

ohh, thank you. I always see it as the thing for cheese
9:55 am
hokie carla

now I have been through grid 2x and still have 40 left.
9:55 am
hokie carla

<---not a word brainiac
9:56 am
hokie carla

think I will try those exercises and return later.
10:01 am
Uneaixoise

Thanks for the re7/28!
10:03 am
rururocks

isn't that rennet mael?
10:04 am
hurshy

the rennet is the stomach lining, the re7 is the enzyme involved in it
10:04 am
mael

yeah, it's related
10:09 am
hurshy

4 left of each for 4s 5s and 6s!

that's my hope
10:29 am
Shirlockc

not that i wish covid on anyone, but if they get it, better get it now (selfish that I am), recover, then i still see my show end of Feb, fingers crossed
10:29 am

My son who is vaccinated tested positive on December 20. He tested negative on December 28. So I don't think you have any worries.
10:30 am

10:31 am

Exactly Ru, just in time to ruin Christmas for him. He still can't taste anything.
10:31 am
Shirlockc

ick, that's what i worry about, the long-tail
10:32 am
Shirlockc

love food too much to lose taste/smell
10:32 am
hurshy

apparently there were spikes in negative reviews of Yankee Candle (saying that the candles didn't smell very strong) at the same time in the same places where there were COVID spikes
10:35 am
rururocks

i would hate to lose my taste.. that would be the worst
10:37 am
MollyL

My sister lost taste and smell from chemotherapy. Fortunately she got them back, but was months without.
10:37 am

I'd give up other senses before taste
