aslindy

hello all

6:41 am

Scrabbler

Hi aslindy. I have been here for quite a while. 85 left. How are you and the pup?

6:42 am

aslindy

I'm finally able to start wearing actual shoes without too much pain. Unfortunately, I have to call the vet as soon as they open as a suture poked out of the incision!

6:43 am

Scrabbler

Uh, oh. If it is a dissolvable suture perhaps nothing needs to be done.

6:44 am

aslindy

felt like plastic

6:44 am

Scrabbler

Or one missed when sutures were removed.

6:44 am

aslindy

I cut off about 2"

6:45 am

aslindy

there were no external sutures

6:45 am

Scrabbler

I am running out of ideas, haha.

6:45 am

aslindy

yeah, I don't know. the vet opens at 9, so still an hour 15

6:46 am

aslindy

how is your shoulder?

6:47 am

bichon

Morning Babblers

6:47 am

Scrabbler

Improving quickly. I am about 2 months ahead of schedule with range of motion.

6:47 am

Scrabbler

Hi Bichon.

6:47 am

aslindy

hi bichon

6:48 am

aslindy

2 months ahead, that's great!

6:48 am

bichon

Chilly here today

6:48 am

Scrabbler

Week 6 began rapid improvement.

6:49 am

Scrabbler

Same here, bichon, and yesterday was cold too.

6:49 am

bichon

Good news, Scrabs

6:49 am

aslindy

same. I am looking forward to warmer weather.

6:49 am

Scrabbler

I have been so fortunate.

6:59 am

aslindy

I feel so sure the vet is going to blame me that I'm having a panic attack

7:02 am

Kiani

morning

7:02 am

aslindy

hi kiani

7:03 am

Kiani

Try not to worry about the pupper call.

7:04 am

aslindy

too late

7:04 am

Kiani

I know

7:05 am

Kiani

we had to take one of the beebs to the ER vet on Saturday. All is well, but she had a big swelling on her throat under her chin that just sorta appeared overnight

7:06 am

aslindy

yikes, what was it?

7:06 am

Scrabbler

Don't worry, aslindy. The suture is there, you are not imagining it.

7:06 am

Kiani

apparently she had a tiny scratch that got infected and caused an abscess

7:07 am

aslindy

glad she is ok, but wow!

7:07 am

Kiani

so are we

7:07 am

Kiani

now we can safely gripe about how expensive it is to take a pet to the ER

7:07 am

aslindy

for sure

7:08 am

Scrabbler

Very expensive.

7:09 am

aslindy

we just got the credit card bill for Lavender's surgery. good thing it wasn't an emergency!

7:09 am

Kiani

no kidding

7:15 am

aslindy

got to go for now, you all have fun

7:20 am

Scrabbler

8:28 am

phaeton

I haven't. When is the last time you restarted your phone?

8:29 am

72 Temple Owl

idk. the apps moved and now are stacked, i hate it and will try to go to phone store.

8:31 am

hokie carla

did you change your font size? not sure what you mean about it being cut off.

8:32 am

hokie carla

phantom bootleg and deluge

8:32 am

phaeton

Try turning it off to see if that fixes it first

8:33 am

phaeton

clue for the un7 pls

8:39 am

mkg

I need it too phaeton.

8:42 am

hokie carla

aha, found it. think of ears.

8:43 am

8:44 am

hokie carla

pen!

8:44 am

penquis

carla!

8:44 am

hokie carla

well, it's technically an adj that looks pt

8:44 am

penquis

true...

8:45 am

penquis

should have said pt ending...

8:46 am

mael

catching up on work, ugh. Nice little grid today though!

8:46 am

hokie carla

you missed the worst ever yesterday

8:50 am

phaeton

ty for the un7

8:50 am

hokie carla

thank you for telling me what my missing u was

8:56 am

mael

was it short?

8:57 am

moolingwa

morning all

8:57 am

hokie carla

mooooo

8:57 am

penquis

hi mael, mool.....

8:57 am

hokie carla

mid-low 100s I think, mael

8:57 am

moolingwa

hey hoke, pen...happy monday to both of you :)

8:58 am

moolingwa

only here for a couple, need to jump on a call

8:58 am

hokie carla

I'm sure you'll find plenty in that time

8:58 am

hokie carla

25 left here - 6-10-8-1

8:58 am

moolingwa

only 23 so far

8:58 am

welki

hi everyone

8:59 am

hokie carla

welki!

9:00 am

mael

hey hey!

9:01 am

welki

mael, i have a dilemma - i thought my grow light was stronger than it is and now i have very leggy radish seedlings. (i have to grow in containers here, so started them inside) toss them or wait and see what happens?

9:02 am

welki

<-- feels horrible about 'culling' them, but ....

9:02 am

rururocks

buy them nylons welki

9:02 am

mael

hmm, I would toss them. Radishes go from seed to maturity in 21 days and don't transplant well! You can probably start them directly in the container at this point!

9:02 am

hokie carla

I'd keep the healthiest looking ones to see what happens.

9:02 am

hokie carla

but I've never planted radishes so obvi I don't know

9:03 am

welki

that's what i did, mael - will have to wait another week or so if i want to start them outside, it's still pretty cold here.

9:03 am

welki

carla, you have a good point - there are some that look stockinger than others

9:03 am

penquis

hi welki....wifi cut out for a bit...

9:04 am

welki

hi pen

9:04 am

mael

then I'd keep the healthiest ones and see what happens, then direct sow outside when you can :) you;ve got nothing to lose that way

9:04 am

hokie carla

still need 6 B's. where on earth are these words?

9:05 am

welki

thanks for the advice!

9:07 am

welki

fine. ignore my 'stockinger' post - but will tell you that an ancient brand of pantyhose is in the grid :)

9:07 am

mael

just found a b6 mushroom

9:07 am

hokie carla

not a button

9:09 am

welki

found the mushroom

9:09 am

hokie carla

what's the stat?

9:09 am

welki

bo 6/24

9:10 am

rururocks

I always thought the mushroom had an a at the end

9:10 am

hokie carla

ooh, found my last P looking for that B

9:12 am

hokie carla

well, I found a bo6/24 with no def. I'm going to assume that is the mushroom.

9:13 am
