Minveryork

Not sure who is on this late, but just wanted to say hello

12:46 am

justafreep

Aint nobody here but us chickens....

12:46 am

dofith

Hi Min, early afternoon here. How are you?

12:46 am

grannyrose

cheep......cheeep

12:47 am

Minveryork

Hello dofith! I am doing well, despite my insomnia. I am a bit nervous about a simple procedure I have tomorrow,

12:48 am

Minveryork

I do hope that all is well with U in the land down under!

12:49 am

dofith

That's understandable. I'm having a cataract done next Mon. Doesn't worry me at all, but I know some folk freak out.

12:49 am

Bugsaw

I am sure all will be well tomorrow, Minveryork. Sending you peace.

12:50 am

grannyrose

the trouble with nurses they know to much. it's like the mafia. you can never leave....

12:50 am

Minveryork

Hello Bugsaw! How are you doing. It's nice to see U hear!

12:50 am

dofith

Allgood here, thanks. Finally, a lovely sunny day; my garden beckons...

12:51 am

grannyrose

i'm in a spin because my pain doc is going to inject the nerve bundles in my upper back next Thursday. under anaesthetic of courese.

12:51 am

Bugsaw

I am well, thank you. I only play grids under 250 now because I was spending too much time on the computer obsessing about finishing.

12:52 am

Bugsaw

grannyrose, does that mean that your pain should be eliminated? I sure hope so.

12:52 am

Minveryork

I have not been here in ages! I miss babble, but my three jobs keep me very busy w/little time to visit Babbleland.

12:53 am

Bugsaw

Three jobs is 2 too many but we do what needs to be done to pay the bills. I hope you like all the jobs.

12:54 am

Minveryork

Thank goodness for anesthesia! I get Propofol tomorrow.

12:54 am

grannyrose

it means my upper back pain shol be under some sort of controlo. i have found out that i only have 5 discs worth of cartilage left inb my entire spine. it's all bone rubbing on bone.

12:54 am

dofith

I understand that, Bugsaw - have to remind myself every day that the sky won't fall down if I don't finish a grid!

12:55 am

grannyrose

min, just lie there and think of England....

12:55 am

Bugsaw

I had Propofol once. I didn't remember a thing!

12:56 am

Minveryork

grannyrose, sorry to hear you are in so much pain,but I'm so glad to hear it will hopefully go away soon.Good luck!

12:56 am

grannyrose

yeah, prop with midaz... great mix

12:56 am

Bugsaw

I am so sorry that your back is so badly damaged, granny. Bone on bone pain is horrible. I sure hope this procedure lasts a long time!

12:57 am

grannyrose

nurse's back with a vengeance.

12:59 am

grannyrose

i8f i do get some relief then doc knows how to tackle the issue with a long range fix.

12:59 am

Minveryork

So I have to be up in about 3 hours to drink some "magic" potion in preparation for procedure. Nice to chat w/you all briefly. Good luck grannyrose and take care everyone

12:59 am

Bugsaw

Oh now I REALLY hope it works for you. A long term fix is the best.

1:00 am

Bugsaw

Blessings Minveryork. The potion will probably be the worst thing.

1:00 am

grannyrose

5:28 am

ItalianGreyhound

hope there are no large hairy lurchers lurking nearby

5:28 am

Deeha

The area th4 is purported to come from

5:29 am

MollyL

I could not imagine having to shelter, feed and pay the vet bills for seven dogs.

7:07 am

MollyL

Not to mention the bathing and grooming involved.

2 cats are more than enough for me

periwinkle

Morning all. help fa8 please

7:44 am

MollyL

Someone just mentioned that Bob Dylan is 81. Damn. That doesn't seem real somehow.

7:44 am

MollyL

It is an extension of fa6/30

7:44 am

periwinkle

my neighbor across the street has 3 cats and two dogs

7:45 am

periwinkle

ok need to look for fa6

7:45 am

hokie carla

so close to fashion

7:45 am

MollyL

Whew. Made it before the one second buzzer.

7:45 am

hokie carla

I think my middle brother has more than that, maybe 3 cats and 3 dogs

7:45 am

periwinkle

ty Molly got the fa6 and the fa8

7:46 am

MollyL

I don't know how people manage that many animals.

7:46 am

periwinkle

me either Molly. my neighbor lives in a small house and also has two young adult children living with her

7:47 am

periwinkle

and found fa7 too

7:47 am

hokie carla

well, his house smells so bad inside it almost made me sick last time I went in. and can't really do a lot of trips unless you find someone to come feed them.

7:48 am

MollyL

I especially don't khow how people in small homes do it. I get it in a big, farm style house with lots of property. I see people in my condo complex walking two extra large dogs and don't know how they manage that in such small space.

7:48 am

MollyL

Yeah Carla, the smell would definitely get to me.

7:50 am

hokie carla

did I tell you about the time we were at a motorhome campground and there was a golden retriever breeder with 4 goldens? I can't even imagine all the fur in that one, plus how do they all fit?

7:54 am

hokie carla

oh, the company that made the calculator watch and electronic keyboards is here

7:55 am

Christa

Today, I am grateful for Lickety's clues

7:56 am

Christa

yep .. weird words for me

7:57 am

hokie carla

good to know, won't waste all day trying to find a bunch

8:00 am

MollyL

I wonder if the CEO of that company is Harry's other neighbor

8:00 am

hokie carla

why, who's harry's other neighbor?

8:01 am

MollyL

The CEO of New Balance owns the house across the street from him

8:01 am

hokie carla

oh

8:13 am

Christa

Weird .. my name is in the grid ..lol

8:13 am

hokie carla

oh, you get a tiara!

8:13 am

BzznBea

You get to wear the tiara today.

8:13 am

MollyL

No high dollar types in my neighborhood. I live on "the other side of the tracks" 😊

8:14 am

Christa

Thank you ☺

8:14 am

BzznBea

Ha! I've got you beat.

10:33 am

The class on the overuse of the exclamation point will begin in 20 minutes. Drinks will be served afterward to those who can properly use the punctuation.

11:30 am

hokie carla

woo hoo!

11:31 am

hokie carla

but I am excited to see ruru and pen, that's why I use it

11:31 am

hokie carla

that is proper usage

11:31 am

MollyL

Note: I am joking with Carla and Pen. No one else needs to jump in with their grumpy comments.

11:32 am

penquis

:oD

11:32 am

ch1212

LOLOLOL on that exclamation point!!!!! (second lol). I just got my book back from the editors and while my exclamation points were ... uh, on point, I clearly am clueless when it comes to proper use of quotation marks! LOL!

11:32 am

hokie carla

ha

11:32 am

MollyL

Carla, I would suggest if you are that jazzed about seeing Ru and Pen you may need to think about some other interests.

11:33 am

penquis

what is your book about, ch?

11:33 am

hokie carla

🤣

11:33 am

MollyL

I hope it is not about quotatiojs

11:34 am

MollyL

Or quotations

11:34 am

ch1212

Pen, the title is true. you can check it out at www.truecampbell.com. Publishing date tba. :)

11:34 am

ch1212

Molly, no, a bit darker than that. But good point! lol!

11:35 am

EvaNadine

i KNOW correct punctuation usage...but i prefer to season my typing with my soul.

11:35 am

MollyL

Are you self publishing?

11:36 am

penquis

i must have missed your mention of the title...

11:36 am

ch1212

Nicely phrased, Eva.

Molly, no, agent shopping.

Title: true. website: www.truecampbell.com

11:37 am

penquis

ty, ch...

11:38 am

MollyL

Agent shopping? So you don't have a publisher yet?

11:38 am

ch1212

you are most welcome, pen.

11:40 am

penquis

the book sounds quite interesting...

11:41 am

ch1212

No, not yet. In truth, I haven't started yet because I wanted to have the book edited and formatted properly first. Agents and publishers have changed their game quite a bit since the advent of the internet. Now, authors are asked to have a 'platform' (blog, social media, articles, etc etc) before even submitting. Very different from when I was younger.

11:46 am

ch1212

thanks, pen. My hope is that people who read it will benefit from my experiences. I shy away from 'self help' because what worked for me may not work for someone else.

11:49 am

penquis

that's a good thought...

12:21 pm

penquis

i have hit a wall with 22 left....taking a break...bye all...
