night, nan
12:25 am
cybernan

been icimg it -- elevation making it worse -- have it in a sling for most of the day
12:25 am
grannyrose

well done you, honey.
12:25 am
Gillie

icing helps with pain, but can slow healing, I guess
12:26 am
cybernan

reduces the swelling though
12:26 am
grannyrose

well, the ice decreases the swelling which allows blood flow
12:26 am
cybernan

just a really bad sprain along with bruising
12:26 am
Gillie

I understood that the swelling resulted from increased blood flow, which also helps with healing
12:27 am
Gillie

but I'm certainly not an expert
12:29 am
grannyrose

its a circle thing gillie. you are right, swelling does occur if a damaged blood vessel/s is in the in jury, but ice stops that, and the blood flow becomes more normal.
12:30 am
Gillie

I know that a doctor told me that the advice has changed - it used to be more common to always advise icing
12:31 am
grannyrose

still the first thing here, after rest. that's why compression is in the anacronym
12:32 am
Gillie

Yes, but RICE dates back to 1978, and according to Google AI, even the doctor who coined it has admitted that prolonged rest and icing can be damaging
12:34 am
grannyrose

that's why it's called first aid, gillie. just the minutes after injury, then handover to the next professional.
5:36 am
MollyL

The best thing to do is to follow the advice of your doctor, not what you read on the internet.

another hideous structure built by that jerk
9:43 am
Nef

Agree! I hope that they stop him from ruining the rest of DC!
9:52 am
rururocks

he's trying to remodel everything with his name on it and gaudy gold leaf everywhere. the guy is as slimy as it gets
9:54 am
Nef

Slimy is the mildest word I’ve ever heard anyone say about him.
9:54 am
origami

Oh, yeah. Our capital is going to look like a Russian oligarch went crazy on it
9:54 am
Nef

LOL!
9:59 am
Nef

I’m embarrassed by what he’s done across the whole world in just the past 2 years. Renaming the Gilf of Mexico & Lake Ontario & having Google & Apple both go along with that on their maps? I mean, those are names that go backn over 200 years & here this idiot thinks that HE shouldchange their names!
10:06 am
Tabbycat2

Some things will be easy to fix, like taking down all that gold tat from the Oval Bordello. But he has done permanent damage to our country's reputation and security. A lot of the damage will take years to repair and some may be lost forever
10:06 am
Nef

Agree, Tabby
10:11 am
Nef

HAGD, everyone, I’m off!
10:22 am

10:23 am
hokie carla

I like it when the first word I see is 7 or bigger
11:02 am
MollyL

Nothing is lost forever with the right person to rebuild it.
11:14 am
MollyL

Does anyone chat with Peri anyplace other than here? I was just wondering how she is doing. She hasn't been on line in a while. I remember she was having computer trouble.
11:48 am
8201girl

Perhaps all you America haters ought to leave this country.
11:48 am
dcseain

I live near DC, mostly, the current admin has been relatively low-impact here, if yet assholish.
11:52 am
rururocks

8201 can't you come up with something new or at least something that makes sense? I'm supposed to be ok with the pedophile in Chief and all the insane stuff he's done in his first 18 months?
11:53 am
dcseain

Re Periwinkle, i don’t know.
11:53 am
dcseain

hear, hear ruru!
11:54 am
mael

I thought we weren't supposed to emigrate to look for a better country for our children to grow up in, huh
11:55 am
dcseain

cr8 extnds the cr7 before it.
11:56 am
dcseain

or vice-versa
11:56 am
Jen34

ruru <3
11:56 am
rururocks

these maga types have the same old sound bites and the same old rhetoric.. blame Biden for everything, blame Obama for everything, blame the Democratics for everything and help Trump with a daily colonoscopy by inserting their heads up his ass daily
11:57 am
dcseain

indeed!
11:57 am
rururocks

thanks Jen
11:58 am
rururocks

remind me to never clue 8201 girl on a request ever
12:01 pm
Jen34

Same
12:02 pm
dcseain

all together now!
12:05 pm
mael

same same
12:07 pm
dcseain

huh. the 9 is a not uncommon word.
12:07 pm
dcseain

pr9
12:07 pm
rururocks

I don't mind people who are on the right and they have a right to speak their mind too, but all this posturing, and threats and stupid stuff like leave this country is really non-productive to a conversation about issues
12:08 pm
dcseain

agreed, ruru
12:12 pm
hurshy

the thing i hate is when they tell you "if you don't like it, leave" as if it's that easy! unless you're rich, or happen to be in a profession that other countries want to attract, it's NOT easy to just move somewhere else!
12:13 pm
dcseain

i’m eligible for Czech passport, so there is that.
12:13 pm
hurshy

nicee
12:13 pm
hurshy

i'm jealous of all the people that just got the canadian eligibility by ancestry
12:13 pm
dcseain

understandably!
12:14 pm
rururocks

I'd move to Canada in a heartbeat
12:14 pm
hurshy

ooh got the 9!

12:16 pm
mael

I voluntarily choose to live here in the US, it's fine to not want a demented tyrant for president even if I have the option to live elsewhere
12:16 pm
hurshy

that too
12:17 pm
hurshy

the disturbing part is the ability to see that the man is (and always has been) mentally unfit for the job
12:17 pm
hurshy

i mean the INability
12:17 pm
hurshy

on the part of his supporters
12:17 pm
rururocks

cultists
12:18 pm
hurshy

P is difficult - as usual
12:18 pm
dcseain

cultists, indeed
12:19 pm
clg47

but dcsein, some of us can trace our ancestors back to the Revoluntionary war and never had had an ancestor with bone spurs, plus we pay taxes. Not leaving but we have major problems. 8201girl, seems like you have a problem and you should leave.
12:20 pm
hurshy

the people i really feel for are the indigenous turtle islanders
12:20 pm
clg47

I need a clue for the first pr8 that is a little clearer.
12:20 pm
hurshy

ooh i guess i need pr8 (or more than one!)
12:21 pm
hurshy

ok i got one, it's a british spelling, for putting up a false front or imagee
12:21 pm
hurshy

dunno if that is first
12:22 pm
rururocks

pr8 the fist is before + to build a building
12:22 pm
hurshy

if my sister were expecting a girl baby i would have a pre-ni5
12:22 pm
rururocks

(I had a R rated clue but passed on that)
12:22 pm
hurshy

ah thanks ruru
12:22 pm
hurshy

4:05 pm
hokie carla

yes, just something about her computer
4:06 pm
hokie carla

I know she got a new laptop but then was going to return it and at one point she was doing stuff without a mouse somehow. I wonder if she got another new one and can't get into here.
4:07 pm
hokie carla

I can't rem. who contacted her through another means. Ori maybe?
4:09 pm
MollyL

Her sister, Marigold, plays every day but doesn't chat.

4:21 pm
Gillie

Looking at the rankings, it appears that Marigold hasn't played in the last 30 days either - no score under "Who's Hot" for either of them
4:41 pm
hurshy

ok i know molly is going to make fun of me but, one of my cats' middle names is in the grid
4:42 pm
hurshy

actually he's the only one i've had who HAS a middle name, and i didn't even give it to him intentionally
4:42 pm
hokie carla

lol
4:43 pm
hurshy

see he started out as Fritz. and then he was a cat of very little brain so i was calling him Fritzel the Pooh or Fritzel T. Pooh.
4:44 pm
hurshy

and then one day when i was yelling at him for being a pest to Rilla, out popped me yelling "Fritzel Terence Pooh!" without me like deciding to say it at all
4:44 pm
hurshy

it just appeared
4:45 pm
hurshy

so i was like, i guess that's his middle name now
4:45 pm
hokie carla

I listened to a podcast on my walk earlier and one of the ads kept mentioning a skincare regiment. like, really? who is the idiot, the voiceover actor or the script writer?
4:49 pm
Soodle

Nodding along, as if understanding Hurshy’s complicated cat names. JK. I love reading this stuff. I feel like a transatlantic auntie to Hurshy’s fur babies.
4:50 pm
hurshy
