zoozzoom

Hello, Peach, I have just started. But I am here :-)

3:55 am

gapeach

Hey there, zooz. How are you?

3:56 am

zoozzoom

All reasonably well here thanks for asking, Peach, How about your good self?

3:57 am

gapeach

Just trying to keep cool......it has been in the high 90's and a couple of 100's. I don't go out much. The dogs don't stay outside very long either. Glad you are

3:57 am

gapeach

well. Is it terribly hot there?

3:59 am

zoozzoom

Ha hot in the UK that is a very rare occurance. But it is warm though so I must not grumble about it. Would be nice to have a Summer though.

4:02 am

zoozzoom

My friends say I am like a reptile as I am always cold lol

4:03 am

gapeach

Well, I had better get ready to round up the critters and head to bed.....its 5:00AM here. I still have over 100 words to go....It really isn't a bad grid.....I am just slow. Do have a good day. Blessings.

4:04 am

zoozzoom

I hope you manage to get a good nights rest, ((Peach)) and try and stay cool. Take care.

4:12 am

zoozzoom

Phantom word : identity

4:31 am

MollyL

If someone goes to bed at 5 AM, don't you wish them a "good days sleep"? : D Hi Zoom

4:32 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Molly, yes I suppose one would! lol

4:33 am

MollyL

I don't think I have gone to bed at 5 AM since my college days. : )

4:35 am

zoozzoom

I did go to bed around 4:30ish AM a few weeks ago as I was playing a game of chess. I was like a zombie when I awoke around 11AM . Not often I stay up that late. Would not be keen on doing it again neither.

4:37 am

MollyL

Chess seems like a very intense game. I can see how it would lure you to stay up later than usual.

4:38 am

zoozzoom

I love the game of chess. No matter how hard I try I just am no good at it lol

4:40 am

zoozzoom

I say that but I feel I can give people a reasonably good game but just do not seem to have the brain power to advance to a higher level to wht i am at now.

4:41 am

MollyL

Well you have more brain power than I do. I won't even attempt chess. I have no mind for strategy.

4:44 am

zoozzoom

Aww that is a shame, Molly. It really is a great game to get in4.

4:46 am

MollyL

I'm sure once you master it, it's an intriguing game. I think I just balk at the mastery challenge.

4:49 am

zoozzoom

Well I think you are underestimating yourself on the chess front. You seem to me to be a very intelligent lady with a mindset that could excel at chess. you should one day just give it a go for a while and see!

4:51 am

zoozzoom

wow those Z words were easy to find! That makes a change.

4:53 am

zoozzoom

Damn. And off to the PB for me :-(

4:56 am

MollyL

Oh, we will give you special dispensation since th5 is such an easy word to blurt out : D

4:56 am

MollyL

Now yesterday, had you said you were going to go sit in your inglenook, you would not have been let off so easy.
: D

4:57 am

rubyfoo

Good morning! I'm just in time for the red boxes

4:57 am

zoozzoom

LOL

4:57 am

zoozzoom

Hello ((Ruby)) yes in three minutes time.

4:57 am

MollyL

I wonder if people sit in their inglenooks drinking Inglenook.

4:58 am

rubyfoo

How cold is it there, zzoozz? It was around 50F tthis morning with a lot of wind.

4:59 am

MollyL

Ruby I asked our mail carrier about your package. He said he tried to deliver it but there was no suite number on it so he didn't know where it went. He's going to try and find it for me.

5:00 am

zoozzoom

There is a restaurant inthe UK called iglenook!, it is in Bognor Regis.

5:00 am

rubyfoo

Oh, I'm sorry. I hope he can find it!

5:02 am

zoozzoom

Stupid babble freeze.

5:03 am

zoozzoom

I will re-type, Ruby. It is 19.7c around 65f here with light winds, Ruby.

5:07 am

MollyL

No worries Ruby, I'm sure it will turn up.

5:09 am

rubyfoo

I sent a package of misc. stuff to husband's daughter in Ca. ad because I didn't itemize the contents, they wouldn't accept it and held the package hostage until I paid ANOTHER 100+ euros to bring it back. And I still don't hav" it

5:09 am

MollyL

And Ruby, I am sorry there has been more trouble in your country. It must be scary times there.

5:10 am

rubyfoo

Yes, it is very scary abd Nice is closer to here than Paris

5:11 am

zoozzoom

Yes I heard about that this morning. crazy crazy stupid people.

5:12 am

rubyfoo

There is no way I would tyravel or be in a crowd, even in this backwater

5:15 am

zoozzoom

I think it was during a fireworks displayfor bastille day.

5:17 am

rubyfoo

And there ar e10's of thousands of people clustered along the Tour de France route, easy targets!

5:17 am

rubyfoo

>The situation is terrifying

5:19 am

zoozzoom

Oh yes I had forgotten about that. does not barethinking about!

5:20 am

MollyL

Ooo, barethinking sounds naughty
: P

5:21 am

zoozzoom

did you see yesterdays stage, Ruby, where chris froome the yellow jersy holder crashed in4 tha back of a motorbike that was filming them and damaged his bike too much so started running up the mountain until another bike was ready for him!

5:21 am

rubyfoo

Like bear naked

5:21 am

zoozzoom

LOL, Molly

5:21 am

zoozzoom

is it bare or bear?

5:21 am

MollyL

*Wonders how many people are now looking for an e10 word : D

5:21 am

rubyfoo

Yes, it was evidently a first, having a rider run up the mountain.

5:22 am

rubyfoo

But I think they gave him a special dispensation

5:22 am

zoozzoom

They did as it was no fault of the riders as they changed the end point of the stage to end earlier.

5:23 am

MollyL

Bear is the animal or to hold or carry. Bare is the naked word.

5:23 am

rubyfoo

I was picturing a shaved bear, making him a bare bear

5:24 am

MollyL

When you think about it, bare naked is kind of an oxymoron

5:24 am

zoozzoom

Just wondered which was the correct one once it is used in a different context to the actual meaning of the word bare/bear.

5:24 am

zoozzoom

LOL I like that, Ruby!

5:25 am

rubyfoo

There was a naked man alongside the riders!

5:25 am

zoozzoom

Thankfully I missed that bit, Ruby.

5:26 am

rubyfoo

And he looked a little like a bear!

5:27 am

zoozzoom

Wow earlier the babbler Gapeach said to me she was going to bed with 100 words to find. i now also have 100 words to find and have come to a halt!

5:29 am

zoozzoom

Nope gone past that now 99 :-)

5:30 am

zoozzoom

I have all the Es except the lone one. any stats for it please?

5:33 am

rubyfoo

I only have 127 words and not that one

5:33 am

zoozzoom

It will have to wait I need to get going. Have a great day ((Molly & Ruby)) Happy babbling everyone.

5:34 am

TQ

sukee

Good morning all.

5:39 am

rubyfoo

Hello Sukee

5:39 am

sukee

Hi Ruby

5:54 am

rubyfoo

Just had a little mystery fish for lunch. Even the dog wouldn't eat it!

5:56 am

doseffing

... be French about it ... add mystery sauce and a sprinkling of mystery cheese ... ... some house red and you've got a meal fit for a queen

6:29 am

bichon

Hot and sultry day in July here (((

6:31 am

doseffing

... same here bichon ... but remember ... the Starks from Game of Thrones are right ... ... Winter is Coming

6:31 am

MollyL

The word "sultry" always makes me think of "Throw Momma From The Train".

6:33 am

bichon

Sorry, I don't think I've seen that. But it must be your every day weather.

6:34 am

MollyL

It's been pretty brutal here the past few days. But I have no use for thinking about winter now. Blech, I hate winter.

6:35 am

bichon

Just looked at the Youtube clip

6:35 am

bichon

I like summer, except for the weather

6:35 am

doseffing

... where i am it's much the same as yours ... subtract one or two from the temperature ... leave off the hurricanes blowing in from the Atlantic and add snow in January ... ... but not all that different

6:36 am

MollyL

Bich, you don't get affected by hurricanes, do you?

6:37 am

doseffing

... she'll get a big storm or two each winter coming in off the ocean ... we don't get that

6:37 am

bichon

We missed Sandy, but did get Irene. When I grew up on coastal Long Island we always had hurricanes, but not now. I's all hit or miss

6:39 am

Anniebrook

hello. We got Sandy but we do not get hurricanes.

6:39 am

MollyL

Isobel is the one that hit us the hardest.

6:39 am

Anniebrook

It is going to be a scorcher today.

6:40 am

MollyL

Sandy did so much damage to New York.

6:40 am

bichon

Hurricanes in the 50's were really bad. I grew up on a peninsula at the southern part of Queens County and we always got ripped

6:41 am

MollyL

In the 50's architecture did not have the infrastructure that it has now.

6:42 am

Anniebrook

Sandy was awful. I had to live (no water or electricity). Stayed with my daughter for 2 weeks before I could return home.

6:42 am

bichon

I remember Irene, not that long ago [slightly before Sandy] which even ripped up into Vermont

6:42 am

Anniebrook

*leave

6:44 am

bichon

You were lucky Annie, think of the people who had no place to go

6:45 am

MollyL

No electricity (which means no air conditioning) in a high rise building is no joke.

6:45 am

Anniebrook

I was just going to say that. There were volunteers going up and dowm the stairs bringing food and water to people who couldn't leave.

6:45 am

MollyL

Bless their hearts. What a kind thing to do.

6:46 am

Anniebrook

Unbelievably kind. Walking up and down 24 flights of stairs.

6:47 am

Anniebrook

When I came home, I had no car. It was washed away in the storm.

6:47 am

MollyL

People can say what they want about New Yorkers. I think they really come through for each other when times are tough.

6:49 am

Anniebrook

Especially Brooklynites..unusual breed. Then I started looking for stores that were open. There was one store near the ocean that opened and we ate ham sandwiches with tomato for almost a week until other stores started to open.

6:50 am

Anniebrook

But we had water flowing and that was the important side of all of this and electricity but no heat and it was cold.

6:55 am

doseffing

... two thirds ... must go ... a good day ... lotsa luck ... and sufficient air conditioning for all ...

6:57 am

2:36 pm

lilliann

ty Hego, i'll have to look as i only have 2x ne words

2:36 pm

hurshy

twizzlers are red licorice

2:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

they are twisty soft sticks

2:37 pm

MLFAN17

owl eww

2:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

i was hungry. should have know better.

2:38 pm

MLFAN17

hego is the ne7 a compound word?

2:39 pm

MLFAN17

I don't like licorice

2:39 pm

lilliann

ty Hurshy. I like red liquorice and black.I like liquorice allsorts.They are one of hubby's favourites.

2:39 pm

hego

No, but a word we see here and hard to clue

2:40 pm

hurshy

i despise black licorice and anything else anise flavored. i don't like twizzlers, mostly because of their texture. they're like, soft but not soft enough.

2:41 pm

hurshy

anise and dill, and anything pickled like kimchee, sauerkraut, all are anathema to me

2:41 pm

MLFAN17

kind of like dried fruit

2:41 pm

lilliann

We have red liquorice which are called shoe laces.i like them

2:41 pm

MLFAN17

same thing Lillian

2:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

they are definitely different. i like shoelaces better

2:42 pm

hurshy

yeah the shoelaces are better than twizzlers

2:42 pm

hurshy

twizzler shape is weird cause the outside has these kind of "sharp" sticky outy bits

2:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

twizzlers have so much gook, like corn syrup i guess, that make the texture.

2:43 pm

MLFAN17

licorice is just nasty in my opinion

2:43 pm

lilliann

When i was in high school we use to go to a local shop at lunch and could buy a big bag of shoe laces for 20p.not now, alot more expensive

2:44 pm

hego

<--only eats chocolate.

2:44 pm

hurshy

2:44 pm

MLFAN17

can anyone help with ne7?

2:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

i remember eating the black with the bulls eyes as a kid, but i won't eat black licorice now

2:45 pm

MLFAN17

hurshy yep

2:45 pm

MLFAN17

chocolate makes everything better

2:46 pm

lilliann

I don't eat chocolate much.I have more of a savoury tooth.

2:46 pm

hurshy

it's very sobering to think about how sweetened chocolate has only been eaten since the middle ages. think about that - NOBODY in the bible ever tasted chocolate. Julius Caesar. Plato, Aristotle, Socrates... no chocolate.

2:47 pm

MLFAN17

hurshy chocolate is actually very bitter

2:47 pm

MLFAN17

I don't know what they ate back then

2:49 pm

hego

or corn, or tomatos, or coffee or potatos.

2:55 pm

MLFAN17

uhh didn't they grow their food back then?

2:56 pm

hego

They didn't have that stuff in Europe back then.

2:56 pm

hurshy

they grew food but they didn't all have all the types of plants. hence the thanksgiving story involving the pilgrims being introduced to corn by the native americans.

3:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

kap, today i read a profile of a young lady whose profession was a trauma-informed dual diagnosis therapist. what is that in english?

3:29 pm

MLFAN17

i am out poof

3:29 pm

hego

She treats people with 2 diagnoses?

3:30 pm

Kaplan the Magne

In english she works with people who have mental health and addictions who have experienced trauma that made them addicted

3:30 pm

hego

And is up on trauma?

3:30 pm

lilliann

Sounds like a trauma doctor or nurse

3:30 pm

hego

Interesting...

3:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

that is not unusual, i would think, that a client might have more than one thing going on.

3:30 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yes, trauma treatments can be specific. She can also be a psychologist.

3:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have at least 8 things going on every hour.

3:31 pm

MollyL

Mental health, addiction and trauma...triple diagnosis?

3:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

she talked about unpacking the trauma of living in an oppressive society.

3:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

her words, not mine

3:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

"Dual Diagnosis" is a construct. Years ago it meant Mentally retarded and psychologically disturbed, but in it's current use it means addicted and bi-polar or something of that order.

3:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

ah.

3:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Jargon phrases sound funny ou of context.

3:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

i did not mean to say it's when I meant its.

3:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes they are.

3:33 pm

Kaplan the Magne

A matter of great importance to me.

3:33 pm

MollyL

It is interesting how the psyche field classifies these days. One thing generally sprouts from the other. Trauma creates bi-polar which lends itself to addiction.

3:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, to nearly all babblers.

3:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

not sure about the oppressive society. unless there are race or gender issue.

3:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Poverty, non-democratic, oppressive hmidity...?

3:35 pm

MollyL

However, someone like Kap needs to know the origins of what they are attempting to treat.

3:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

here are two (alleged) words used in the article: intentionality and intersectionality.

3:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Trauma has bio-psycho-social aspects. My trauma is not your trauma, Rhymes with drama. Or the trauma can be shouldered by a group of people, such as black families.

3:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

interesting.

3:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Intersectionality is a jargon word that I choose not to use.

3:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

i hated it immediately. actually, both of them

3:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Intentionality is just intention

3:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Eschew Obfuscation.

3:37 pm

MollyL

And trauma is a real, experienced psychologically damaging event. As opposed to drama, which is usually self-created.

3:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes.

3:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Or created by someone with talent, like Tennessee Williams or the daytime soap people.

3:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Or created by someone with talent, like Tennessee Williams or the daytime soap people.

3:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

the people in the article ranged in age from about 28 to 35. perhaps it is generational.

3:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Drama can come from trauma, inherited from Grandma.

3:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

the language, not the trauma.

3:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, it's out in the field.

3:39 pm

MollyL

My Drama Came From Trauma Caused By Grandma could have been a great Alan Sherman song.

3:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

not quite the stuff of country songs. ;)

3:40 pm

Kaplan the Magne

If I had a drama, I'd drama in the morning.

3:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am so long out of the field,..

3:41 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But if I had a dramamine, I'd take it on the plane

3:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

uh oh dinner's burning!

3:41 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am out standing in the field

3:42 pm

MollyL

Hello Drama, that came from trauma...caused by my Grandma, from Alabama. I am weeping, I need treatment...and none of this will bear repeatment.

3:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

on that note...

Soodle

Oh Lil - that sounds cool

Aye, apparently the military are taking over

I think she's looking more forward to it than he is and it was his decision to do it.

72 Temple Owl

4:40 pm

lilliann

Obviously something off, well i hope you feel better.Maybe drink loads of water to flush it through your system

5:01 pm

lilliann

Perhaps it wasn't the fruit things and you're coming down with something?Hopefully not.

5:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

i hope not.

5:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

fructose can cause symptoms

5:03 pm

lilliann

Maybe that's it then

5:04 pm

sukee

Hi all.

5:04 pm

MollyL

Are you diabetic TO?

5:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

that all natural stuff will kill you ;)

5:05 pm

lilliann

Hi Sukee.

5:06 pm

lilliann

I know, we're told to eat loads of fresh veg and fruit but alot of fruit has alot of natural sugar which isn't good for us, because it causes alot of other problems.

5:07 pm

sukee

I was happily eating organic spinach when I saw something on a leaf and holes... needless to say, I stopped eating it. Instead I had onion rings and chicken nuggets :)

5:13 pm

lilliann

Was it shop bought or were you eating out Sukee?

5:13 pm

sukee

The spinach was store bought, then I ordered in.

5:14 pm

lilliann

I must admit i can't stand chicken nuggets as it's normally reformed meat but i do like onion rings.Did you wash the spinach?

5:15 pm

sukee

It was supposed to be pre-washed. I should have washed it again. These nuggets are actually real chicken.

5:15 pm

lilliann

I buy spinach in bags from the shop but i still wash it.Some bags will say unwashed.It's the same with alot of the salad and veggies

5:16 pm

sukee

Lesson learned :)

5:16 pm

lilliann

I've learned the lesson too Sukee, when i've seen dead flies on pre-washed salad and veg

5:19 pm

sukee

a fly got in the apartment and the cats are going crazy. It was hiding for a while now the chase is on again.

5:19 pm

lilliann

I'm more into washing anything i buy since i got an ameobic infection in Egypt and ended up in hospital for a couple of days.I know they probably washed it in their water which isn't purified like ours but i know alot of store bought veg probably isn't washed either.

5:19 pm

MollyL

Unless you grow it yourself, nothing is free from a lot of nasty stuff it encounters in the field, being picked, being bagged or boxed and being trucked to your store.

5:20 pm

lilliann

My cat tends to go after bees! Dozy mare!

5:21 pm

lilliann

I must admit Molly,apart from this year i did grow my own salad leaves and sometimes flies or insects did eat the leaves, but i would still wash and throw the holey ones away.

5:23 pm

lilliann

I still grow tomatoes,strawberrries,blueberries and raspberries

5:24 pm

lilliann

I do like alot of spinach, i'm going to have to see how easy it is to grow and if i can grow it in tubs or window boxes

5:31 pm

Glantarell

lilliann, i've never grown spinach but i grow chard in tubs and window boxes. it is easy to grow and tastes like spinach. :-) i reckon spinach is probably quicker and easier than chard

5:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Does anyone know what a low fodmap diet is, and are you on one?

5:35 pm

lilliann

Thanks Glant.I don't know whether i've had chard or not, but if it's easy to grow in tubs i'll try it.But i must admit, i've never seen a spinach plant to grow so i'll have to look for seeds.Do you buy a chard plant and grow it on or is it seeds GLANT?

5:36 pm

jesdraggon

vaguely, and no Kaplan

5:36 pm

lilliann

sorry Glant, didn't mean to shout your name

5:37 pm

lilliann

I've never heard of it Kap

5:39 pm

lilliann

Why Kap are you thinking of going on one?

5:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, I was told I have to. Which means total cofusion and unhappiness.

5:45 pm

jesdraggon

why confusion and unhappiness? did the doctor not give you information about it? It's supposed to be quite helpful for some intestinal issues.

5:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Eliminate most fodmaps- onions, garlic, wheat, soft cheeses, watermelon, cauliflower, beans, apples, ...

5:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Brussel sprouts, artichokes, avocado, let's see, what else do I like? Yogurt...

5:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am not happy because I have to cut foods that I like and I don't know what to snack on.

5:48 pm

hurshy

my sympathies, kap :(

5:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

:(

5:49 pm

hurshy

what kinds of things do they want you to eat more of?

5:49 pm

hurshy

maybe some of those are yummy too

5:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Bok choy.

5:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Spelt bread.

5:49 pm

lilliann

i just googled it and there are loads of sites about it Kap

5:50 pm

hurshy

i snack on cheerios - are oats allowed?

5:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I can eat blueberries, not peaches

5:50 pm

hurshy

popcorn?

5:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think there is too much wheat in cheerios, a favorite snack

5:51 pm

hurshy

no, cheerios recently reformulated to be gluten free, it no longer has wheat

5:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Really? I'm on it!

5:51 pm

hurshy

i know because my nephew is gluten free and he was sooooooo excited when i told him

5:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, me too!

5:52 pm

lilliann

I went on a low fat one from Stanford health care and theyn said you can have onions and garlic

5:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, this is about how things react in the gut.

5:53 pm

Sunrise

Kap this site may be helpful for you. http://www.aboutibs.org/low-fodmap-die\nt/guidelines-for-a-low-fodmap-diet.htm\nl

5:53 pm

hurshy

are you already on probiotics?

5:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Onions are a major offender.

5:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I was not prescribed them but I have some around.

5:53 pm

Sunrise

The thinking is to eat similar to this for 6 to 8 weeks not a life time.

5:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

than you sunrise. I

5:54 pm

hurshy

i don't know anything about IBS, really, but i know that probiotics are generally supposed to help promote positive things in the gut

5:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

If it doesn't kill me in 6 weeks. Thank you.

5:54 pm

lilliann

really? I think i was reading it wrong! I couldn't be without my onions and garlic

5:55 pm

Sunrise

All the best Kap. If your having difficulty with diet , seeing a dietitian would be helpful.

5:59 pm

MollyL

Acupuncture and acupressure for IBS have been very effective for some. We need to quit relying on western medicine.

6:01 pm

lilliann

I was reading it wrong, all the good things are bad things :(

6:01 pm

MollyL

Lots of information on the Fodmap diets if you do a Google search on that

6:03 pm

lilliann

I was told i had IBS years ago but was never told what i coud and couldn't eat.Has it happens i don't have it.

6:03 pm

lilliann

Typing crap as normal!!

6:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

the new thing here is food allergy patch testing for IBS

6:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I now I can google. I'm just complaining.

6:08 pm

hurshy

food and eating are one of the most fundamental aspects of our lives. it is a pretty emotional thing to have to make changes. but if it is 6 weeks only, that's something to look forward to later!

6:09 pm

MollyL

Some physicians are real big on diagnosing IBS for people who are gassy or have bowel issues. That is not always the proper diagnosis.

6:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think it is a diagnoses when all others have been ruled out

6:11 pm

lilliann

I feel for you Kap, because since i've been through early menopause 12 years ago i had to stop eating certain things that would trigger hot flushes but,life is too short and now if i want something i'll eat it and begger the consequences.I'll suffer after but atleast i've enjoyed something i like to eat!

6:14 pm

lynxxx

Seems to me that this diet is a cheap and easy and possibly effective thing to try...abdominal isues seem to be notoriously hard to resolve - and the various test/scans more than a little expensive. Hope the diet works for you Kap.

6:16 pm

MollyL

It's amusing. When we were all in our twenties, running around eating burgers and pizza all the time, we had no digestive issues. Now that we are "of a certain age" and eat what is called "healthy food" many are having issues.

6:17 pm

MollyL

*Goes to the PB bar to make Metamucil Cocktails for all

Molly was being facetious Lill

6:22 pm

lilliann

I've cared for people eating all the 'bad 'things we eat now and they live alot longer than us now.

6:22 pm

metamucil is a fiber product that you dissolve in a beverage and drink

6:34 pm

Hi Ru, it's all about bowel problems here tonight.

6:39 pm

lilliann

Ru, do you live in the same town /County or have moved to another town?

6:39 pm

rururocks

yes.. all good. Just wish it was busier in the biz.. but it's kind of nice to not have to work so hard when the weather is great

6:40 pm

rururocks

I moved in the same town Lillian.. from a rental into my own home after the divorce.

6:40 pm

Lizlin

That's sort of how I feel. Early retirement and the move to QLD - can't really remember the drudge of work. So much else to do.

6:41 pm

rururocks

<---still drudging

6:42 pm

Lizlin

But if you have to drudge, I guess wine is a good industry to drudge in. Better than stroppy 11 year olds!

6:42 pm

lilliann

Oh, sorry to hear about your divorce.I've missed alot being away from babble.Good that you have your own home now and your son lives with you?

6:42 pm

rururocks

I don't have a son.. I Have a doggy

6:43 pm

rururocks

Divorce is fine. We parted amicably and are back to being great friends

6:43 pm

rururocks

I love her still, but can't live with her any longer

6:43 pm

Lizlin

My hubby's like that with his ex - people find it quite weird when she and her partner come and stay with us!

6:44 pm

lilliann

Oh , that's right, you have a golden retriever or labrador?

6:44 pm

Lizlin

I remember you were fairly amazed when Rolin and I explained it on babble!

6:44 pm

rururocks

it's nice when it can work out that way liz. I did my best in counseling to keep on an even keel through the process so that things didn't fly off the handle.

6:44 pm

lilliann

or knowing my memory none of them

6:44 pm

rururocks

I was very amazed with Rolin

6:45 pm

rururocks

I have a Golden Lillian.. and will be adopting a lab too

6:45 pm

Lizlin

You understand better now though, I'd guess?

6:45 pm

rururocks

I do understand now. Makes total sense.

6:45 pm

Lizlin

What colour lab? Golden, choccy or black?

6:45 pm

lilliann

I know what it's like to love some one but not be able to live with.

6:46 pm

rururocks

doesn't matter to me liz.. whatever they bring me that fits my description. Color doesn't matter, Brains do.

6:46 pm

rururocks

I have to run to a doctor's appt. Best of luck everyone

6:47 pm

7:17 pm

Good enough for me! It's weird - I really have missed some very obvious words :( Down to 10

Unless you live in Wales, where all the vowels are consonant.
