Morning folks! Woohoo, small grid!

laugh it up monkey... is a nasty one

and hi :)

Ah dang.

You were NOT kidding! Well, at least I've found the 7...

Are all of the i's from the lower right corner related?

Oh, no, there's one that isn't...

3rd, 4th and 5th are related

Thanks!

here is what I have.... cooled, thought, salt (diff endings) clue

I have two salt ones and a small amount of something

Just been working from the bottim i. Now I see cooled. Thank you!

And thought! Thanks again!

that is right... need another salt one... and the cooled and thought ones

OK, just hunting down that salt-clue one. Thanks!

find an unusual ending, and add it to everything to get the words you are missing :D

Hmmm, unusual ending... I have the io6, but that is a more usual sort of ending... Looking! Thank you!

there is a more unusual ending for the io5

There it is!!!! Thanks.

now take that ending and glue it to all missing words

what type of woofer do you have monkey? 51kg is a big baby

I still have 51 missing words... biut I'll see how man of the ones I already have like that!

I think BR decided it ended 8 of the words... 10% anyway

Wow, that is plenty! Thanks!

Morning all, small grid today!

Hi! Small and nasty!

yup, I have uh 3 so far.

and I found the seven....

That's one of my few conquests thus far as well.

hi turtle :)

Hi Mrp.

the 7 was out in the open, not of it's namesake

Yeah, it does sort of belie itself.

I need to get into the olympic spirit... should go find an olympic theme (anything to get away from this grid)

yes...i probably need to change as lomong was eliminated last night....

mostly watching weather...

Them ya's is weird.

I need flashlight and dog food....

I was amazed/digusted to learn of the Phelps diet... it would kill most people (except this man)

I know nothiing about it!

he consumes 14000 calories a day!!! calories!!

hes an inspiration to me!

Oh man!

if I was eating that a day, I would also have to run 30 hours a day

At least!!!

something like 4 bacon, egg, cheese and onion sandwiches, 6 egg omlette, sugar packed sports drinks and 10 french toast with maple syrup.... all for breakfast

Ok I must go to work and pick up hurricane stuff... Have a good day everyone!!!1

I should talk to my husband about it. HE always wants to gain weight, because it gets cold here and he weighs 105 pounds. I did an online diet reccommendation thing for him once and it told him to eat 1200 more calories a day. He said he simply cannot eat that much.

then it is pasta pasta and many many bowls of pasta for lunch and dinner!! and more meat and cheese sandwiches

You're goin to have a hurricane? Hang in there, take care! Where are you?

Wow! That's extreme.

monkey, he needs to change what he eats.... he could eat more carbs

florida....I think its like the regular thing, but, I am not from florida. Monkey there are supplements, like Muscle Milk that will help with weight gain....

True... His standard breakfast is a big pile of bacon and some eggs, lunch is a sandwich or something over rice, dinner is usually stir-fry with rice. Then snacks, mostly Kettle Chips.

4:39 am

afternoon all

He's actually tried that.NO effect! He drinks a reasonable amount of beer too. Go figure.

OK, I must run. see you all for my last 58 if I can find them tonight.

hi sady

Hi Saddy! Red's going to have a hurricane!

4:39 am

ooh small grid today.... Is it an evil one???

By Red!!! Take care!

VERRRRYYYYY, Saddy!

well, evil is a nice name for it saddy

4:40 am

oh... where in the US are you Red?

4:40 am

sigh all small ones tend to be :(

Red left. She's in Florida.

fun fact, the z is used in 2 words

That t word with all the vowels is in again today. And that counts as an easy one!

4:41 am

the president of my country just resigned... he was facing a probable impeachment

Thanks! I was wondering!

I read about that today

Will this be a change for the good, Saddy?

I have black salt and saffron from out your way.

Oops, need to phone for a dr. appt., BRB

he had to resign, but he can't get asylum in the US

OK, back. Need to take Walter in to make sure he's still really getting better at the right rate, an dme aboiut this stupid back.

4:45 am

well i really dont know... i kinda like MUsh

4:45 am

but the general public doesnt

4:45 am

the politics in our country is really screwed up

I remember that interview with George Bush where Bush thought his first name was "Genereal"...

Oh, I know. Here in the Netherlands we do get a goodly amount of news about it all.

that is sad monkey!

Isn't it? And people wonder why we didn't find it a problem to renounce US ciytizenship to get the Dutch.

which people?? US people?

4:47 am

well i fear for my country...

Lots of people, from all over.

Yes, Saddy, I hope everything will be all right. I know how things can get.

I have family in Palestine, for example...

4:48 am

urgh

Just take care of yourself, please.

4:49 am

this grid is beyond evil

Isn't it? I'm thinking of taking a break soon to do laundry! How sad is that?

I'm already reduced to trying things like "toupay" and "tador".

4:50 am

and my apologies to all the americans here but... the US govt should really mind their own business... they have a huge hand in messing up a lot of the worlds politics...

4:51 am

non-US citizens are people too... with families and lives...

It's their specialty. You should read "Empire" by Gore Vidal. It goes into the original thoughts of the Founding Fathers. The whole place is based on the idea that they know best and have a mandate to meddle.

4:52 am

I will monkey.. have copied the name down...

Also of course the corporate/consumer thinghas gone WAY out of control. Like when that pharmaceuticals company patented that tree in the middle of that village in India, and now the people who live there cannot pick the leaves.

WOW! I found a use for the bottom middle o!!! Finally!

4:55 am

lol

4:55 am

i am struggling

This Grid Sucks.

4:56 am

this grid sucks more than my country's political situation lol

Maybe almost!

Hey, found that e on the right too now! And it's a NORMAL word!!!!!

5:02 am

its a makeup brand!

5:03 am

lol

OK, aching back or no, I want to get SOMETHING done today... husband gets back from Germany, I should at least have the laundry put away.Back for a break in a while. Have, ehhhm, well normally I'd say fun...

5:03 am

lol... how bout best of luck defeating satan... lol

That'll work! *poof*

5:10 am

morning... errr no, good afternoon all

5:15 am

ok, good afternoon me then

Just saw this. Hi Sprite! I'm not really on right now. I'm going to put laundry away an dvaccuum, then I will join you again for a while! Try to have fun until then, but this grid Sucks Big Time.

5:16 am

Hello Sprite.

*re-poof*

5:17 am

oh, was having fun already, lol, it is a nice and chewy grid.2nd day after overexertion, is always the worst one for me. I stay put today.

5:17 am

hi Jac :) Are you having fun with the grid?

5:17 am

So far, Sprite. I'm 9 minutes and 40 words found in.

5:18 am

ah, sounds good

5:18 am

Mind you, the remaining 35 words might take 9 hours to find! LOL

5:19 am

lol, I know, it certainly looks like a grid that might do that to us

5:21 am

I am doing a great job finding unvalid french and latin words at the moment

5:21 am

In grid Yoda is but allowed not.;-)

5:22 am

awwwww poor Yoda.

5:22 am

Phantoms so far - detect and addict.

5:22 am

arrrggh. Thanks for pointing those out to me. Now I have 3549.

5:23 am

*grins*

5:24 am

Oh, and 'hector'. 3550.

5:24 am

ola

5:24 am

and iceday is just not valid. 3551

5:24 am

alo Saddy

5:24 am

positively crappy grid todat

5:24 am

Hi Saddy.

5:24 am

saved by the typo, Saddy

5:25 am

LOL

5:25 am

yeah ... thats the first one i found too

5:26 am

and why isn't decept a valid word???

5:26 am

My first words were owl noises and clothing for young thugs.

5:26 am

lol, mine too Jac

5:29 am

i've got the 7 if anyone wants a clue

5:29 am

ooooh lemme have it!!!!

5:29 am

I have tried shaking the grid. I think the Ds are in the wrong place and the C and H should be neighbours.

5:30 am

it's hi 7/40...a compound word...in the old west it was a place where bad guys would go to not be found

5:31 am

if that doesn't work let me know i'll come up with another one

5:31 am

should work, littlebit, it is a very good clue

5:31 am

It worked, thanks, littlebit.

5:31 am

oh good!

5:32 am

good clue for the hi 7, littlebit

5:32 am

BRB - need to feed cat.

5:32 am

hurryback, jac :)

5:33 am

that -ppe- combination pisses me off. I want a D right after it so I can USE it.

5:33 am

and i'm off to work. have a nice day everyone!!

5:34 am

have a good day at work, littlebit!

5:35 am

sprite, i found one word using that combination ending in t

5:35 am

arkagal, you just saved what is left of my sanity. Thanks! *starts hunt to find it*

5:36 am

yay, got it, now I can find peace :D

5:37 am

i found it accidentally

5:37 am

oh darn no, peace is another phantom. Ah well, thanks for this one :D

5:45 am

I'm back. We've had so much rain that it's washed much of the sand from under the slabs on the back path and one of them has now become 'booby-trapped'; it squirts cold, muddy water up your trouser leg when you step on it. *Wipes ankle with a tissue.*

5:46 am

oh bah, what an unpleasant surprise and feeling!

5:49 am

yay, finally found a de word.

5:50 am

Yes, removing the cold stuff, Sprite. Well, that's the only one I've found so far.

5:50 am

same one I have and it took me long to find it. So I really hope there aren't 12 more, lol.

5:51 am

am still miffed because of decept not being a word.

5:51 am

I don't know why you can't 'remove the bottom from a garment' or 'remove the owl's voice'. LOL

Back! Just heard from Danny, and he's still in Eatern Germany, and once back in NL will have to take the train from Arnhem, so I have time to be a bit relaxed with the housework! About 10 lods of aludry folded and put away, and upstairs vaccuumed, so here I am. The dust bunnies under the bed had started to build fortifications; glad i got them in time!

5:52 am

well done MonkeyG. I have managed to drink my coffee, so I did well too.

There y'go! I needed to get that out of the way early so I could banish my sweet little man to daycare; houseclesaning is easier without "help".

5:53 am

don't know that either, Jac, they look like perfectly normal words to me.

5:53 am

That's true, Monkey.

5:53 am

oh yes, it is

And he's frustrated about my back, so I figured packing him off to teh nice people who CAN "throw him way high up so he comes down and do it again" might be good for him today.

5:54 am

I was playing a click and find game the other day, and had to find two bowlers and two hooters, Jac :) Took me some time to realise a bowler could be a hat AND a man ready to throw a bowling ball... and that a hooter could be a horn and an owl.

5:55 am

absolutely, MonkeyG. Not to mention having some free time for yourself.

Supposed to be at work today but my back is actually worse, so I have a doctor's appointment toimorrow (for Walter too).

5:55 am

The ho word is also slang for a big nose, Sprite.

Halfway through... I have 38 words and 37 left!

5:56 am

oh lovely, Jac! Will remember that, might save me some time next round, lol.

5:56 am

What came was it, Sprite?

5:57 am

Mystery Case Files, Madame Fate

5:57 am

*game not 'came'.

5:57 am

thought as much, Jac ;)

5:57 am

Oh, I know the game. I find those hard to play as I have to take my varifocals off and press my nose to the screen. It strains my eyes.

5:58 am

I found that when I did the first game, years ago, the Huntsville one, all was well. And now I find myself putting my nose right there where you say quite often, lol.

5:59 am

oh MonkeyG, your little monkey might like a game like that! Will get you a copy next time.

5:59 am

morning all

OK, thanks!

Hi Carlee!

6:00 am

morning carlee

6:00 am

You might like the strategy puzzle games 'Sprout', 'Anika's Odyssey' etc., Sprite. They're at bigfishgames.

6:00 am

hey mg...how the little guy doing?

6:00 am

Morning, Carlee.

6:00 am

hi there jacs....

6:00 am

I write them down right away, Jac. Sounds very good to me!

6:01 am

hi sprite.....:o) how r u doing today?

He's still getting better, but visiting Sprite wre him out so yesterday he was pretty tired. But he still complains about the throat, so I'm taking him in again tomorrow and will ask about maybe doing some tonsil and nose swabs or something, see if we have an opporttunistic bacterium.

6:01 am

would almost start feeling guilty about the day, MonkeyG ;)

6:02 am

hopefully before school starts all will be well again

Nah! He had SOOOOO much fun! He just should have been reined in a bot now an dthen; my fault! And teh dog is still pleasantly wiped out.

6:02 am

hi carlee, today is a bad day, overdid some things, but it was totally worth it. I am doing very fine today mindwise :) Oh, I have good news!

What good news????

6:02 am

Okay. 20 words left to find but it's after midday and I have an applie pie to make and bake before putting a shoulder of lamb in the oven at 2pm to cook for 4 hours. Also have g/pig hutches to clean. BBL.

6:03 am

waiting for good news..coffee clutched tight

Can I come over, Jacula?

6:03 am

Hello all.

Hi!

6:03 am

remember we are going to get a puppy? I got an email yesterday from the breeder. They are going to breed my favorite lady dog earlier than they had planned, so we can have a pup from her!

6:03 am

shhh..scrabs..we are waiting for sprites good news ;o)

Fantastic!!!!

6:03 am

I'll lay an extra place at the table for you, Monkey.

6:03 am

hi Scrabs!

6:03 am

Hi Scrabbs. ((Hugs))

6:03 am

very cool...what breed again?

6:04 am

*hugs Jac* Sounds delicious, mmmmmm :)

6:04 am

King Charles Cavalier Spaniel

Thanks! I'll be bringing Walter of course, but he just eats white rice or couscous at dinnertime.

6:04 am

A puppy?! Yippee!

6:04 am

very nice...

6:04 am

Good luck with the puppy, sprite. Must go now. Byeee. xx

6:04 am

bye jacs

Ta, jac!

6:04 am

Bye Jacula

6:04 am

are there words in this bitty grid?

6:05 am

we fell in love with one of the 3 lady dogs the breeder owns. It is a ruby, with such a gentle face and demeanor. But they weren't going to breed Dana for at least a year, maybe even more. So we settled for another mother, who was also great.

Several. And a lot of evil hogwash!

I'm glad it's working out even better!

6:05 am

morning everyone, icouldn't sleep so here i be at 4 am

Hi! Hang in there. This grid should put you right out.

6:06 am

Sprite, I never told you that the town next to me is called Holland. It was settled by, get this, the Dutch, and on the title to my house my property was originally owned by the Holland Land Company. I drove through Holland (the town) yesterday.

6:06 am

but now I got this email that said Dana has come out of the tests so perfectly, that they have decided to breed her first. It is exactly what I secretly hoped for, lol.

6:06 am

well...if it makes u feel better onyx... its 7 am here ;)

What fun!

6:06 am

Onyx--I do the same thing. Babble is always here for comfort and recreation.

6:06 am

oh Scrabs, that is great :D We are neighbours then.

6:07 am

hi onyx, good to see you!

6:07 am

hey sprite and cool news

6:07 am

I have 1 word--what cats like to catch.

That was my first word too!

Then I found the 7.

6:08 am

mine was ra4 of pay and live mush

6:08 am

scrabblerwhere in ny do you live? i grew up there

6:08 am

liver* mush

Live mush?

OHHHHHHH!

The bald head word.

6:09 am

Onyx, I live southeast of Buffalo.

6:09 am

the bald head/ liver mush....MG..am on FIRST coffee...

6:09 am

MG - clue for the 7?

6:09 am

GM all

6:10 am

Hi kje

Understood.

Hi Kje!

Let me know if you need more hints!

6:11 am

good clue mg

6:11 am

I got it! TY MG!

6:11 am

got it - TY

No problem. It kind of opposes itself, really.

6:11 am

shhhh..the hi7 is a SECRET!

I know the secret password.

Hey kje, there's a medical d4.

6:14 am

crap am tired....I had 2 1/2 days off..and am knackered..and I didn't do alot while I was off...go figure

And Scrabbs, obviously-- both doctors. There's a medical d4.

6:14 am

told hubby and the kids just now, so the whole household is hurraying right now, lol

That can really do one in, Carlee.

Yay Sprite, I'll bet they're thrilled!

6:14 am

coffee beeps - yay!

6:14 am

sounds like you needed that rest badly, carlee, and should have more

6:14 am

i don't LIKe it..i wanted to feel recharged..not draggin' my tookus

6:15 am

Hooray for Sprite's family!!!

6:15 am

yay Scrabs :D :D :D

6:15 am

that is so cool sprite....

6:16 am

So first she must get fertilized. Let's do a fertilization prayer for Dana the spaniel.

Clue for that de, Sprite?

6:19 am

oooh..got the io6

6:19 am

the 2nd one

6:20 am

and the first io6

6:20 am

coffee must be starting to work its magic

6:21 am

Hm, I found an io5.

6:21 am

But not the io6's yet.

6:21 am

use the high count letter scrabs

6:22 am

and same start but end on what an casual engagement for dinner with a particular suiter would be called

6:23 am

or is it suitor

6:23 am

morning all - 'or' I think carlee

6:24 am

hi dan... and yes..i think so too....i didn't say the coffee was totally in place...just STARTING to work its magic

6:24 am

de: remove the cold stuff

6:24 am

**waves to Babble Family**

6:25 am

hi aussie!!!

6:25 am

Hey Carlee !

6:25 am

not sure, Scrabs. I hope the experience is not unpleasant for dogs, I have no idea. Dana is expected to be in season somewhere next month.

6:25 am

hiya Aussie :D

6:25 am

Hey Spritey !

6:25 am

and Hey Dan, and Scrabbs !

6:26 am

and Dana already has been a mother once before, so we have good reason to hope all will go as planned. But nature has the final say!

6:26 am

Hi Dan and Aussie. TY, Carlee. I found the io6's.

Had to duck out-- neighbor little boy an dmom came to play with Walter but of course he's not here! I had just been about to post: She should (the dog, I mean) go touch the screen at Ripley's, where those fertility statues are. I did it just for fun, and that's the week we got pregnant, after six months of trying.

6:27 am

aussieeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!

6:27 am

hidan2

6:27 am

Hey MonkeyG !

6:27 am

It's you I need to pressure for recipes, right Aussie?

I lose track sometimes...

6:28 am

Afternoon kje !! Its almost half past midday

6:28 am

we had put this rice grain into our buddha just before moving to Koog, because the head had come off and we giggled and said: why not try. And I was pregnant the very next month.

6:28 am

recipe for what Monkey ?

6:29 am

0628 here aussie... wishing it were not monday

You're the one with teh Korean family member??? Or am I confused again?

6:29 am

6:29 am

nope, that wasn't Aussie, let me think

6:29 am

Me too, kje.... Tuesday will come soon enough !

My mistake. I will revisit the chatlog of a few days ago and straighten myself out. Not right now, but today.

6:30 am

Don't think so.

6:30 am

Keep thinking an A was involved right at the start... Oh well, I can find out.

Nope. OK, I'll go look now...

6:37 am

6:39 am

Sorry, was in the chog archives !

6:39 am

6:39 am

io 5 scrab?

6:40 am

NM - got it

6:40 am

there...the 2 left columns grey now

6:40 am

he has been chatting a little bit again lately, mostly to say hi and to clue. I miss him too, but am very happy he is surfacing every now and then.

6:41 am

Aussie: missbeeze for sure, she was the one who we were chatting with about the Korean recipes.

6:41 am

gm all! perhaps i have a chance of finishing - wee hee!

6:41 am

hey spritey - i'm here!

6:41 am

missbeeze, right on cue! MonkeyG wants to pester you for Korean recipes :D

6:41 am

yes we were talking about Korean food! my ears were burning :)

6:42 am

good morning ladies:)

6:42 am

must be the chili peppers

6:42 am

hiya cross :)

6:42 am

morning cross

6:42 am

yaaa a grid i can actually finish:)

6:43 am

eek! I'll try to get them for you - my MIL is hard to get them from b/c she just cooks them and tells me eat eat - i try to get them, but it is like a marathon to get a recipe - she just wants "to show" "i show i show"

6:43 am

have fun, cross, it is a challenging one

6:43 am

its a stinky bitty grid cross...

6:43 am

i have actually gone online to try to get the pancake one for myself to save myself the trouble of having her "show"!!

6:43 am

Heya Crossy!

6:43 am

oh yes, you need to stand next to her and write it down, I bet there is no other way. Great cooks always seem to cook on 'feel'.

6:44 am

crossy loves the stinky bitty ones;)

6:44 am

LOL bee - I have a friedn the same way... same words "I show, I show" doesn't understand our need for recipe written down

6:44 am

takes one to appreciate one, right cross? :D

6:44 am

not so sure about all "great cooks" but i know i drive people nuts h ow I cook

6:44 am

i know KJ and then it takes forever for her to "show" when i just want the quick way!

6:45 am

my wife drives me nuts with her cooking,its all a pinch of this and a dash of that.nothing is ever written down:/

6:45 am

now they just say " nevermind..when I want it..i'll ask you to make it for me"

6:45 am

lol cross... and I bet it tastes lovely

6:46 am

i like ur wife cross

6:46 am

its all good,but nothing can be repeated a second time;/

SHEESH! Tried to g look that up and my machine threw a huge hissy-fit. Finally straightened out now. Sigh. What'd I miss? Scrolling back...

6:46 am

yeap...its NEVER the same way twice..which is PERFECTION

6:46 am

mg - ardilla or miss bee

6:46 am

ok..i am SICK of mccain calling me his friend

6:47 am

MonkeyG, you missed all your answers, sweetie. It was missbeeze and she is on now, so fire away.

6:47 am

ah carlee, I have heard lots of people say that!

OK, read back. I can get you Palestinian recipes in trade... REAL ones...

6:47 am

Hi Crosshair

6:47 am

and it seems Ardilla might know some as well, MonkeyG.

6:47 am

palestinian food rocks...

Great!

6:48 am

i'm here MG - yum yum - that sounds interesting...i actually will have to work out a deal with my MIL - she just wants to "show"

6:48 am

monkeyG, if you can get me the spice mix for the real shawarma, I'll be forever in your debt.

6:48 am

pa 5?

It does, and my step-father, father of my brother and sister, is Palestinian. And his mother can COOK!!!

Hmmm.... She doesn't cook that. I will see what I can do! I have cooking contacts!

6:48 am

but i have some that i printed out and she got terrified that i would make them that way, so she was forced to alter them - he he!

Ah, nice!

6:49 am

I have palestinian friends here....my FAV dish... is not the stuffed zucchinis...but the dish they make with the guts of the zucchinis

6:49 am

MG-- I clicked on your icon. Walter is SO cute!!

6:49 am

and I will gladly have as many recipes as you want to part with, MonkeyG... I love food like this. I even like cooking stuff like that.

Thanks!

6:49 am

pa 5?

6:49 am

pa5/16 sounds like the job Clint Eastwood held in Carmel

6:49 am

she has shown me how to make her homemade soy sauce which is delic! But she makes the Korean pancakes and the yaki mandu, which are two of my favorites

6:50 am

i think i saw rabbits....

6:50 am

All this talk of cooking makes me ashamed. I excel at microwaving and heating up stuff.

6:50 am

TY FM

You can see more of him at www.goldenappledesign.com/blog, but be warned that the Sept 2004 stuff includes non-graphic birth stuff and neonatal intensive care pics...

6:50 am

Yes, you did, Crosshair, and they can bite.

6:50 am

5

6:50 am

morning scrabbs:)

6:50 am

Hello from a very gloomy and stormy part of the world :(

6:50 am

ohhh missbeeze, soy sauce! Can I bribe you in any way to share that recipe?

6:51 am

i've been really bad scrabs..i'm becoming very good at doing the same... am so tired after work...heating up frozen trays of lasagna is one of my staples now :o(

Send me whatever you can! And Sprite, I will send you TONS of recipes, but first have to write out the loempia recipes for Pinkula...

6:51 am

now i want chineese food:/

6:51 am

cross, they are all like the rabbit in the Monty Python movie. Beware.

6:51 am

of course Spritey - i will get it written up later today and then get ya'lls emails

6:52 am

my hubby is crazy about good lumpias, MonkeyG!

6:52 am

dont know that python skit..my faves are the cheese shop and dead parrot

6:52 am

missbeeze, you are the best :D

Sprite has mine, if I'm not on at that time. Still have to do somw housework and walk the dog, if my back will let me.

6:52 am

well i don't know about that, but i try ;)

6:52 am

6:53 am

Oh, you're kidding! I still have 32.

Hi Dorens!

6:53 am

you never know what the topic will be dorens:))

6:53 am

MG, I bookmarked your blog and will take more time with it later. I have to get ready for work now. Bye all! Enjoy the day!

6:53 am

Hi & bye, Doren.

6:53 am

Have a good day Scrabbs!

6:53 am

yay kje you are ahead of me!

6:53 am

0

6:54 am

bye scrabs

6:54 am

it is the Monty movie where they have to face this terrible terrible monster. And when they get there, it is a small white rabbit. So they are all very condescending... and they all die.

6:54 am

YAY KJ!!!

YAY KJE!

6:54 am

yay kje!

6:54 am

Congrats!

6:54 am

and I must run and get ready for work - HAGD all... or evening...or night

6:54 am

WTG KJE

6:54 am

look at the bones!!!

6:54 am

hi dorens...

Bye kje, take care!

6:55 am

bye kje!

6:55 am

have good day k

6:55 am

bye KJ!

Love that icon, Dan2. I'm an Escher fan and this is a GREAT twist in that one!

6:55 am

hi Dorens... I hope I didn't miss anyone's hello or goodbye, am trying to do 12 things at once and my ptss brain refuses that still.

ON that one...

6:56 am

*also Escher fan*

Take it easy Sprite!

Akk, indeed!

6:56 am

yeah, just decided to just Babble now, if the kids will let me. But they are going outside now, should be ok.

6:57 am

don't over do it sprite... u already overdid it earlier

6:57 am

good choice sprite

Ok then. They're SUCH good kids!

6:57 am

crossy dives into the grid..sploosh!

We did her in on Saturday, Carlee.

6:57 am

yeah I know, but that overdoing was physical and that just results in pain. This overdoing gets me into panic and that is not a good thing. Am in time to stop the rollercoaster though, so all is well.

6:58 am

u bad mg :op~~~~~

?????

6:58 am

lol MonkeyG, no you did not. I did. And only physical. Not a problem.

6:58 am

smart sprite... stoppng the rollercoaster in time is a good trick

Well, OK....

6:58 am

( am teasing u MG...)

That much I got, but I failed to understand the bit with all the tildes.

You folks should have seen us in her car, with me and Walter in his carseat and also our Great Dane, all in the back seat...

7:00 am

oh :op~~~~~ blew a raspberry....

AHHHH! Always wondered how that was spelled!

7:00 am

oh yes! I learned that from my therapist. It is a hormonal thing. Once the panic trigger is on, the cortisol level gets insanely high in my brain and stays up ridiculously long. That is what they have found with ptss patients. Once the train has left the station, there is nothing else left than sit out the ride. But if you can stop the train in time... there is your moment of power.

7:00 am

: - eyes o- nose p- tongue ~~~~~-spit

I'm glad you were in time!

7:01 am

I am learning! And am proud of it.

7:01 am

:op~~~

You certainly should be!

7:01 am

it's the type of thing i teach kids all the time (i'm a counselor) but don't always remember to do myself. you should be proud!

7:01 am

oh MonkeyG, it was so much fun, all of us in the car. But next time you can sit in front, Caya can handle the dog, I think ;)

7:02 am

carlee, try to not drool on my keyboard, please?

7:02 am

oh..man.. I'll share then..passing ekkles cakes around the room

7:02 am

it still goes wrong very often, Dorens, don't be fooled. But each success is a milestone and shoud reinforce the next attempt, right?

7:02 am

10 words to go..10 words to go!!!

7:02 am

If would have been even funnier if you had all be on MG's three wheeler!

I don't know, Sprite. She's such a doofus. I think she's just keep trying to get up front with me, and if she panicked and stepped on Walter we'd be dtouring to the nearest hospital. I think I'll just hang with her.

7:02 am

oh absolutely

7:03 am

roflol FMitch!

7:03 am

Afternoon everyone. :)

7:03 am

hi fm

7:03 am

*takes a slice of cake and cheers carlee on*

JUST the dog doesn't fit on there!

7:03 am

Hi carlee :)

Hi, Sheimi!

7:03 am

don't know what ekkles cake is but if you made it carlee, i'll eat it. hi fm

7:03 am

ok MonkeyG, you call the shots! You know the darling dog best.

7:03 am

hi Sheimi

7:04 am

I am going to try and get Fireworks today :)

7:04 am

Hello Sprite ;)

Managing a dog with confidenc issues can be tricky.

7:04 am

( little pastries filled with currents, candied peel and spices..with brown sugar and butter..and bakes )

7:04 am

go for it, Sheime, the number of words is low. But it is a challenging grid :)

Oh good luck, Sheimi; this is a NASTY grid.

7:04 am

go sheimi, you can i'm sure

7:04 am

Good luck Sheimi, it's a toughie today

7:04 am

ooh carlee that is my kind of cake

7:04 am

omg carlee, this sounds wonderful too!

7:04 am

gof or it sheimi

I've been stalled at 43 FOREVER.

7:04 am

Thank's Dorens :)

7:04 am

Thx Carleecat lol

7:05 am

they little mini pastries..mini "pies"

7:05 am

maybe cause of all the chat monkey?

7:05 am

and not too sweet i bet, carlee?

7:05 am

lol Dorens

7:05 am

nope..not too sweet...

It's a self-perpetuating cycle, yes, Dorens.

7:06 am

Oh dear.. I am new to this so I am not very experienced, however I do like game's like these.

7:06 am

yes monkey, that's why sometimes i don't chat at all.

7:06 am

FIREWORKS!:-) *Brushes flour off keyboard and gets back to the kitchen duties.* Happy Babbling ,folks.

Well, time for my antibiotic (skin thing I've had for 28 years, finally being taken seriously), which means I get to eat... all this has made me hungry! Then I had better vaccuum and see about the dog's run. Back later!

7:06 am

See you soon MG :)

7:13 am

this grid is nasty with evil pretentions:(

7:13 am

sheimi you don't have to do it on your own. there are bunches of people here who love to give clues

7:13 am

Im afraid I only change mine if the theme is something that really grabs me otherwise I spend too much time meandering through google images.

7:13 am

wtg carlee!

7:13 am

mine is a canoe, Dorens, and the why is in my profile, lol

7:14 am

Yeah.. I am only 11 so I have to guess alot of the words :-\

7:14 am

the same for me Fm.... and since its all olympics and am not really following it....I just keep a supply of purple crayons around incase we need them

7:14 am

i am sporadic. sometimes i look to see what it is, but like fm, it often makes me spend too much time looking

7:14 am

I was the same, FM. Had to change that because of my new position, lol.

7:14 am

sheimi...u really shouldn't share how old u are and other details..this is a public chat

7:15 am

Ah yes the new Queen of The Icons, wtg!

7:15 am

oh sprite i do so agree.... i am more of a canoeist myself

7:15 am

sprite, are you in charge of icons, now

7:15 am

sorry..

7:15 am

but keep watching the themes, please, guys? There are a lot of great ones coming up that I would really love to see being played out :D

7:15 am

I guess you are

7:15 am

I am, peri, Babbler needed more time for herself and had to prioritise her things.

7:15 am

7:16 am

not yet, peri, and there is always room for change if it were. What can I put up for you?

7:17 am

7:20 am

and you have to put a pic of yourself with a bday hat on - it will be a celebration around the world!

7:20 am

what a great b-day -

7:20 am

7:21 am

who are yu talking to bee?

7:21 am

you goofy!

7:21 am

apsaragus epitomizes me??? hmmm, thinking about that - LOL

7:22 am

thin and green

7:22 am

7:22 am

7:22 am

TY carlee

7:22 am

well you could put some scallions - lol

7:23 am

food epitomizes me???? open mouth, insert foot bee

7:23 am

scallions? do not want to ask

scallions are tasty

7:23 am

but you are kinda right - I am a foodie

7:23 am

morning all ! is this one of those wee brain buster grids?

7:23 am

i just mean something that you really love - if you weren't creative when choosing your babble name

7:24 am

it is a little challenging pug, but not as bad as you may think... I am done

7:24 am

ok, here we go, I think I have them all

7:24 am

yahoo for you dear!

7:24 am

bbl

7:25 am

ty for the heads up!

7:25 am

7:25 am

hi pugmama

7:25 am

hi sprite

7:27 am

Carlee, Dec 15 it was, right? You are right there?

7:27 am

hmm..not comingup for me...but ok

7:27 am

or did I get it all wrong?

7:28 am

here is one sprite - March 28 - National Food on a Stick Day (in the US) - seriously! we had a party to celebrate this pst year and everyone had to bring stick food - could have people post pics or recipes of their favorite foods served on sticks

7:28 am

maybe if you refresh? I just updated.

7:28 am

that is a good on KJ

7:28 am

oh cool, kje

7:28 am

one*

7:29 am

and you must do april 1 - start of national poetry month - favorite poem/poet

7:29 am

or you could do that the 3oth of april and april 1 can be a picture of a fool

7:29 am

didn't work..but its ok...alright i need tog et ready for work..enjoy the day all

7:29 am

good thing bush will be gone, or else it would be bush day

a

7:30 am

carlee, what it says is: 15 Dec - Cats In Honour Of CarleeCat's Birthday (carleekat)

7:30 am

is that ok, carlee?

bush is a shining beacon for all of the world to admire

7:30 am

thanks sprite....

7:30 am

how about favorite cocktail - picture and recipe - some are really pretty

7:30 am

that just fine :O)

just kidding

7:30 am

ugh josh

7:31 am

ok, hold on, I need to copy paste before I miss some of your ideas

7:31 am

blecckk

7:32 am

you know...( before I go ) not to... discredit or defame bush..but am surprised..that instead of efigies of him being burnt..."bushes"... shrubs..have not been burned in honor/ dishonor of him

7:32 am

oh here - this one is priceless - December 30 - national bicarbonate of soda day - I kid you not!

7:32 am

i have a website somewhere that is a calendar for all these " national" whatever days

7:33 am

that is so anti-green carlee - LOL

7:33 am

good morning everyone

7:33 am

well...could be tumbleweeds even...

7:33 am

I seem to remember a cocktail day, I will make sure it says recipe too, lol

7:33 am

morning Mom and all I may have missed in the icon hunt

7:33 am

spetember is national honey month - could choose a day and have honey stuff...bees, recipes...a picture of your honey - LOL

7:33 am

{{Sprite}} good morning to you

7:34 am

but isn't he...anti green..and is likely better then the crap that makes efigies with all its organic compounds in the polyester clothes they use being released int he air

7:34 am

(((mom))) - eating an orange for breakfast... when will you come rescue me?

7:34 am

I draw the line at Bush day. Sorry. That is not going in :)

7:34 am

but his opponents are not anti-green, so unlikely to burn bushes

7:34 am

no no no - no one asked for bush day!!!!!! aaaggghhhh

7:34 am

{{KJE}} ... whatever am I going to do with you ....

7:35 am

just peanut butter and crackers here this morning. I will share those though.

11:15 am

Hi, beeze

11:15 am

ok - so i have a problem with project 119, but i guess because i'm not Chinese and not a communist - Hey Jellen

11:16 am

anywho - that is why i came here, so i could get over my anger at it!

11:16 am

hello, might i get a hint for ao6. pls?

11:16 am

I do not know what that is bee (apologizing for my ignorance)

11:16 am

Hi, dc!

11:16 am

ao + vowel + mom's mate

11:17 am

ty for firewords, kje

11:17 am

it is a weird communist project that China came up with to win all the medals at sports they are weak in when they realized the Olyms were gonna be in China

11:17 am

WOOHOO DC!!!!

11:17 am

that is why they are beating everyone at their best sports - haven't you noticed China coming out of nowhere in like...rowing? China and rowing

11:18 am

Yay DC Seain!

11:18 am

Yay, dcseain!!!!

11:18 am

well, if they worked hard and won, then whatever...

11:19 am

right, but it is just because of how they train the athletes that i have a problem with and now that they created this mission - it has been a 6 yr thing for so many more young people

11:19 am

but that is how they do it there i know - deal with it - blah!

11:20 am

it has been done that way for years as well in many communist or former communist/soviet-block countries

11:21 am

i know, but so many more of them are becoming westernized - it is just that they dubbed it project 119 and they made it a mission that makes it so much more harsh to me b/c i know that that it was that much more rigorous and sooo much more pressure than say the standard communist pressure

11:22 am

Training athletes for the Olympics nowadays requires almost monomaniacal commitment--that's why the countries with the resources to pour into athletic training win the medals. It's been that way for a long time, now. Too bad the old amatuer ethos is a thing of the past...

11:22 am

b/c of this project 119, they have really upped the ante in China over the past four years - even moreso than the norm - that is pretty scary

11:23 am

oh4?

11:23 am

actually it has been 7 years - even scarier...that is why i don't live there i guess

11:23 am

oh + PT

11:23 am

oh + past tense

11:24 am

snap kje

11:24 am

oh in the past

11:24 am

Hi, ruru

11:24 am

yoyo ruru

11:24 am

morning jellen

11:24 am

snapping back ruru

11:24 am

yo beeze!

11:25 am

ouch

11:25 am

not so hard...jeez

11:25 am

;)~

11:25 am

done yet ruru?

11:26 am

yes earlier

11:26 am

just thought I would peep in

11:26 am

ty

11:26 am

Of all the things to find scary, Chinese medal dominance is low on the list. They have nearly five times the population of the US--assuming that athletic competence is naturally randomly distributed, you'd expect they would win five times the medals. Now that their economy is growing, you can expect that they will use their economic resources to enhance athletic training.

11:26 am

are you practicing your techniques for that video ruru?

11:26 am

LOL bee

11:27 am

That was hysterical thanks kje

11:27 am

LMAO

11:27 am

it isn't the medal dominance that concerns me, it is more of the techniques they choose to train their athletes jan...

11:27 am

bad stats jan - but agree with the premise : )

11:27 am

yw ruru - how long did you spned practicing in the mirror after that?

11:27 am

yw ruru - i was thinking you may be good at that!

11:28 am

wish the olympics were more about the atheletes and less about the countries

11:28 am

*** ruru lets good joke pas by***

11:28 am

should never let a good joke pass you by

11:29 am

no you shouldn't!

11:29 am

I think it has become more about the athletes since the fall of communism - less "our system is better than yours" - china is just a little behind

11:29 am

I can do the deliverance theme but not with my chest.

11:30 am

no, they are a BIG behind

11:30 am

hi all

11:30 am

lol!

11:30 am

they wouldn't allow it on tv

11:30 am

you could video it and submit it to sprite ruru

11:30 am

OK, maybe you should let a good joke pass you by - LOLOL

11:30 am

big behind - LOLOL

12:04 pm

Weather! Heard this morning thet redturtlehead is prepping for a hurricane, so's everyone knows to send good thoughts.

12:04 pm

The seven is easy stid... do you have it yet?

12:04 pm

yep...we enjoyed this weekend. I even swam in a open water swimming race this weekend. And for a BBQ in Puyallup yesterday, the weather was great. (Thunderstorms the night before did wake Zach up though)

12:05 pm

I only just started monkey... 13 words. hold on for a litte?

12:05 pm

Sure thing! Hey, were you born in a leap year?

12:05 pm

12:07 pm

thank you everyone

12:07 pm

Yay Holly!!!!

12:07 pm

I have known a couple people born on leap days, it was funny. And of course, that's the crux of Pirates of Penzance.

12:08 pm

Hi, all! I wandered away for a while...

12:08 pm

It is indeed.

12:08 pm

Hey Stid, why were you up until2?

12:08 pm

hey jellen!

12:09 pm

And what are you studying?

12:09 pm

And hi Jellen. I'm not on for long.

12:10 pm

You know, care about fireworks or not, that oo is bugging me. Can someone clue that?

12:10 pm

because after the evening performance they needed to strike the set, then an informal cast gathering (which didn't start until midnight), then home (a half hour drive). *yawn*

12:11 pm

past tense oo

12:11 pm

Boy do I miss stuff or what? Performance?

12:11 pm

Wish I could, Monkey!

12:11 pm

Oh THERE it is! Thank you so much!

12:12 pm

12:15 pm

OK, back.

12:15 pm

Hi Jellen

12:15 pm

I miss you too caitlyn -- how is your family?

12:15 pm

Hi Monkey

12:15 pm

Not 11 hours In A Row, you understand.

12:16 pm

hey again monkey -- the performance was stidkid#2 in Fiddler on the Roof. For a guy with no lines, I think he was onstage almost as much as the leads! He was a bottle dancer, and did such a great job *proud mama look*

12:16 pm

Kids great hubby been unwell but seems to be getting better, how are your family

12:16 pm

sure monkey, keep telling us that...

12:16 pm

Hi Caitlin! I'm not on for long, so's you know. Walter is having dinner, then I need to get him to bed an dthen Danny gets back from 5 days away for the Frank Zappa festival

12:17 pm

Oh GREAT!!!! I went to a school of the arts for my high school years and saw several decent performances of that at the time... how old is kid #2?

12:17 pm

I saw you met with sprite on Sat Monkey did yu have fun?

12:17 pm

we are well caitlyn, just shipped stidkid#1 to the other side of the mountains to visit my husband's parents, younger one gets this week to rest up from the performance and have less nagging. You know how older brothers can be!

12:17 pm

oh. halfway! :-D NOW I would like a clue for the 7 monkey! (please)

12:17 pm

LOL stid

12:18 pm

It was great! We were both nervous, because people can seem so different online, but we really clicked. And Walter had a great time with her kids-- his Dutch is awesome, I didn't know he was so good!

12:18 pm

I don't give out actual ages monkey ... but he is now taller than his father (by a quarter inch which you would think was a mile) and very much a teenager *sigh*

Stidmama, a place where outlaws avoid the cops.

12:19 pm

thanks queen *thinking*

12:19 pm

GOT IT!!!

12:19 pm

The 7 is easy to see even though its nature is the opposite. It is a compound word starting hi.

12:19 pm

can someone tell me how many are in this grid?

12:19 pm

oh...hullo all, by the way!

12:19 pm

there are 75 words today

12:19 pm

Sensible. And sounds like I know the age. What fun!

12:19 pm

and thanks also monkey

12:19 pm

They grow so quickly dont they,I only feel like a teenager so its not correct that I have 5 grandchildren

12:20 pm

Wish I had been in time... glad you found it!

12:20 pm

Hi shen

12:20 pm

BBL. Tim and I are going for a walk...(a latte's involved)...

12:20 pm

Have fun Jellen, see you tomorrow

12:21 pm

LOL caitlyn! was talking with one of the other parents at the play last night and we are quite sure we may be the only 10 year old parents of kids old enough for driver licenses

12:21 pm

enjoy jellen! say hello to tim!

12:21 pm

hi all.

12:21 pm

Hi Angel!!

12:21 pm

12:22 pm

monkey -- is that your little monkey? does his hair REALLY match his shirt?

12:23 pm

That's the first one, Stid. Not that it matters, she found it

12:23 pm

My husband is a gem. He took the time this weekend to hang some things on the kitchen walls, and he put one of my laundry and cleaning must-haves (borax) into a smaller container I can handle more easily. And he helped me organize my recipe collection this morning.

12:23 pm

thts the first one but thanks stid i found what i was lookin for was a duh moment

12:23 pm

well done hubby!

12:23 pm

Almost! It IS that red. OK, he's done so it's off to bed with him. Back soon, until Danny gets home. Tot ziens allemal!

12:23 pm

sorry sadie, haven't opened the list yet.

12:23 pm

Whats worrying stid is that in our family we seem to get married early, and our 2 eldest grandchildren are going to be teenagers this year!!

12:24 pm

see you soon monkey

12:24 pm

and our new baby will be here in about 6 or 7 weeks.

12:24 pm

12:24 pm

Its a great help when they give a hand Angel,

12:24 pm

so glad to hear that angelsong -- have been hoping all was well with you.

12:25 pm

12:25 pm

My great-aunt became a great-great grandmother a couple years ago... she was pretty shocked.

12:25 pm

Thats exciting Angel are you feeling well?

12:25 pm

ATALANTE!!!! is the rumor true? did you really go to oregon AGAIN?

12:26 pm

12:26 pm

Oh stupid me sorry Angel!!LOL

12:27 pm

I am all done doing my part to populate the world....now I just have grands to spoil.

12:27 pm

although, to be honest, angelsong LOOKS young enough that a baby isn't out of the question!

12:27 pm

LOL Angel

12:28 pm

Stid, hon.....you need glasses. I don't look THAT young

12:28 pm

12:42 pm

LOL FM even the ducks are wearing wellies now

12:42 pm

OK, back. Walter only wanted three Dikkie Dik stories and no song. Had to promise Daddy will come in and kiss him when he gets home.

12:42 pm

evening everyone

12:42 pm

Hi Katie!

12:42 pm

WB Monkey Hi Katie!

12:43 pm

Evening Katie

12:43 pm

So who has lower back strain tips? Elder's idea of sleeping with a pillow between my knees is getting me through the nights. What do you-all do?

12:43 pm

I'll have a song monkey :-)

12:44 pm

My lucky daughter and family are off at 6am to Majorca.lucky things!

12:44 pm

ice, monkey -- ice for 15 minutes, then heat for a little, then let it go for a bit, then repeat hourly when you can

12:44 pm

Do I have to make it up on teh spot or can it be Island Way Out in the Sea, Old McDonald WITHOUT animals, or one of the other regulars? Little nut tree? The Eagle#s Whistle?

12:44 pm

ooohhhh they will see the sun, I can't remember what it looks like!!

12:44 pm

when you sit, support your back and keep your legs at a comfortable level -- don't let the thigh "droop" which puts strain on the lower back.

12:44 pm

DON'T LIFT the kid!

12:44 pm

I sleep with my feet raised on a pillow Monkey

12:45 pm

Doctor says I can go straight to heat... it's been ten days... on th eother hand it's not better. I will try it.

12:45 pm

LOL Katie, I have asked them to take a photo of it

12:45 pm

AO please?

12:45 pm

I bought a couple of such pretty summer dresses in May and have only worn one once so far.

12:46 pm

Lol Mitch, I have been in winter suits virtually all summer

12:46 pm

Im just pleased that I had a holiday to Cyprus in May

12:46 pm

ao + vowel and short for father.

12:46 pm

OK, not pick kid up.... I got this way becauise he's been so ill, buit he's better now. I just went to put the soap in the dishwasher and couldn't stand back up. Ten days ago. He's being good about it, but I still need to lift him up to the bathroom counter for teeth brushing and the like...

12:46 pm

oh -- and take anti-inflammatories constantly (if your doc says it's okay). If you wait for it to hurt, too much inflammation has returned.

12:46 pm

We go to Greece in September, can't wait, less than a month to go

12:46 pm

thanks FM!

12:47 pm

yw stiddy

12:47 pm

I have been taking 400 mg ibuprofin on the 4 hours except at night when it hasd to wake me up first.

12:47 pm

get the child a small step stool. He is old enough to do that, I think -- mine had to use step stools when my back was injured when the younger was 2.

12:47 pm

Greece! We will virtually be able to see you. No chance you'll get out here for a lunch?

12:47 pm

PLEASE can I come with you katie, I love Greece ,I will carry your cases and look after every thing for you

12:47 pm

if you don't have a step stool, an upturned bucket can work until you get one

12:47 pm

Good idea. I will take up the kitchen step stool.

12:48 pm

Bucket too low. Have kitchen stool.

12:48 pm

And yes, he's totally old enougha nd will even think it's cool.

12:48 pm

He will enjoy going on a step Monkey

12:49 pm

Lol Monkey & Cait, we are going to Thassos so no chance of lunch and I really need to take hubby Cait, give it a few years ;-)

12:49 pm

okay monkey *worried mama look* DON'T BE BRAVE! keeping going after the initial injury meant that I spent nearly a year almost confined to bed, immobile much of the time. Fortunately, my husband was able to take over most of my chores, but it was really a tough slog

12:49 pm

We both miss the morning go-down-the-stairs-with-hois=head-on-m y-shoulder mornings though. Thank goodness he hasn;'t needed the to a.m. bathroom trip for weeks...

12:49 pm

Thats so sad Katie,I will be thinking of you LOL

12:50 pm

clue for ho 5/16

12:50 pm

built on the one above it

12:50 pm

Add the sometimes vowel to the owl noise

12:51 pm

yes, I missed that a lot, too. But getting better sooner will mean so much to him when you can be comfortably active and play again.

12:51 pm

Stid; rumor has it you are a student again...

12:51 pm

No thats not an owl noise is it!! (this is good wine)

12:51 pm

Stid, I am not brave, I am stupid and curesed with a high pain tolerance. Poblem is I have very little choice. My husband works full time. We have no family on this continent. I start school again a week from Thursday. But I promise to do my best. In fact, that;'s why you folks have beenseeing so much of me recemntly! Also, I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow.

12:51 pm

lol

12:51 pm

I've got to go to the Docs tomorrow, really don't want to but has to be done

12:52 pm

My wine's pretty good too, so sorry if I ramble... haven't had dinner yet, waiting on Danny.

12:52 pm

ty

12:52 pm

What is wrong, Katie? I missed something... as usual...

12:52 pm

good monkey. ask the doc if you could wear a back brace temporarily until the muscles and nerves calm down. That helped me immensely when I had to get up and do things before I was "all better"

12:52 pm

katie -- doctor? have you been ill?

12:53 pm

I've jsut got a headache but I've had it for about two weeks now and can't shift it, thought I ought to do something about it

12:53 pm

I will certainly bring it up.

12:53 pm

*hands monkey chocolate to tide her over until hubby's return*

12:53 pm

OOOOOOH chocolate! And VIRTUAL chocolate is even on my diet!

12:53 pm

and mine monkey :-)

12:54 pm

katie have you had your eyes tested? Sometimes that can cause bad headaches

12:54 pm

For once choc does not appeal, have eaten a little too much double coh ice cream :)

12:54 pm

oh katie, I am sorry. I get headaches (as you know) and so does one of my kids. I think the long-term lower-grade ones are almost as awful as the migraines. They wear me down

12:54 pm

He's been living in a tent and drinking a lot and listening to great music and hanging out with Mothers of Invention and eating half meter sausages every day. I miss him.

12:54 pm

funny, FM, how I do NOT feel sympathy for you!

12:54 pm

DO 6 please

12:55 pm

my last D

12:55 pm

Oh FM (still we need something with this bad weather)

12:55 pm

*giggle* I needed the calories

12:55 pm

I have had that. The first time, the three-week headaches turned out to be caused by my birth control. Teh other tiome, recently, the six-week headache, it was a frozen vertebra and physio cleared it right up. Please keep us posted!

12:55 pm

I had new glasses in March so I would be surprised if it was that, but might go again I'll see what the doc says, I had one migrain in the last couple of weeks but its just constant now

12:55 pm

My husband too, FMitch. What do you weigh? He's always 105 pounds.

12:55 pm

could it be sinus pain or tooth pain, katie?

12:56 pm

Oops, Walter calls... brb.

12:56 pm

Katie, have you been spending more time than ususal infront of the PC?

12:56 pm

Hi all!

12:56 pm

hey autumn!

12:56 pm

IO 6 please?

12:56 pm

DO6: a short woman's name + I ** (at a wedding)

12:57 pm

I think sinus pain is the most likely Stid, I use to suffer as a kid but thought I had grown out of it, might have grown back into it. Same time on computer as always (although it is a lot of time!!)

12:57 pm

Katie - did you recently get new pillows for your bed? maybe moved the TV or computer. Changed the height of your computer chair? Even an inch can make a difference

12:57 pm

thanks angelsong *thinking*

12:57 pm

I lost a huge amount of weight last yearMG and an can go under what I should be at

12:57 pm

Fmitch, I need to lose about 20 kilos and my husband need around 10. When we get an exchange method worked out you are welcome to some!

12:58 pm

I generally babble in lurk mode, FMitch :)

12:59 pm

I ws very ill but after that I changed my eating habits completely and now it is just a way of life.

12:59 pm

is walter okay? just needing some extra mama attention?

12:59 pm

I am glad you are getting better FM -- wish you were fully healthy!

12:59 pm

OK, back. Stid, I start my thrid and final year of social work school in ten days. In Dutch. Meanwhile,what Walter wanted was to tell me he drank all his water and doen not need more. I explained that if he wants mama's owie back to get batter he will not call mama unless it is really important, like having to pee. Which is now obviouslyl coming up soon.

Oh my god typo city! sORRY FOLKS...

1:06 pm

yep. perhaps we can encourage him to use the cup again? *helpful look*

And the capslock thing again... sigh. My Real Computer will be ready soon.

1:07 pm

LOL

1:07 pm

LOL monkey! but you're not tired or anything...

1:07 pm

that is the other suggestion, actually -- rest as much as you can. Naps, extra sleep -- your body does most of its healing when you are asleep

Hee, hee! Nice idea. But no, we go all the way down th estairs to the toilet. Can't do ity alone because these are Scary Stairs so there are two child gates in the way.

1:07 pm

IO 6 please please?

1:08 pm

sorry haven't got it yet stid

1:08 pm

io+da4/5

Oh, Stid, he did not sleep for 14 months. NOT kidding. Hos forst 14 months, he woke up every hour and a half for one to three hours. We blame his ICU experiences. I know about trying to get the sleep debt reeled in!

1:15 pm

someday i hope to find a pillow that actually helps

1:16 pm

Oh, bye stid! I had to go to the stairs-- the baby monitor announced that Walter had made me some ice cream, which he does with legos and stuff. Had to yell up the staiirs that this is not a reason to call me, I will see it in the morning. And of course thank you.

1:21 pm

TY

You bet sadie! This time he really did have to pee. He'sjust wound up because Daddy gets back tonight and will come up and give him a kiss. He's excited.

It'd be less of a problem for me without the Owie Back. Walter replaced it for me yesterday, but it doesn't seem to have taken...

1:24 pm

that is because he is a podiatrist!

Exactly! I was posting something about that but you hit the nail on the head so I stopped typing!

1:25 pm

lol

Also I think the fact the back replacement is still experimental may have something to do with it.

Were you her ewhen he gave me the shot that turned me into the dog, the cat, and a frog?

1:25 pm

he may have to consider changing careers

1:26 pm

no, but did you act like them for him?

Well, his other two choices are jogger and bus driver at the moment.

1:26 pm

brb work calls!

Of course I did, then he kept going over to the dog and saying, "Hi mama!"

Hey, I just looked at "who's online" and I'm not there! Is that normal? Does everone else see themselves?

1:32 pm

i dont see me either must be normal

OK then.

1:32 pm

wow theres alot of people online lol

1:32 pm

That always gets me too. Very cute dogs, Sadie!

Hmmmm..........

1:52 pm

Oh Monkey, lemme see what I have got then !

1:52 pm

I don't have my gymnast icon today, kje, but I can throw my hands in the air as I completed today's grid without the list.

1:52 pm

it was like they were trying really hard to not look like they were trying - that was what i found amusing - other than the obvious

1:52 pm

Hello everyone!

1:52 pm

Hi wickd!

Two days in a row for me.

Now that he's nearly 4 he can stay up for the Owl Tour of the nearby nature preserve too, but we're waiting for the days to be a bit shorter so he can get to bed at a reasonable hour.

1:55 pm

just looking at the video again - they are in pretty good shape for their ages

1:55 pm

Okay, time for me to run some errands.

1:55 pm

See you all tomorrow. *poof*

Nearby is about 3 blocks, just theother side of the cows.

Bye BZZZ!

1:56 pm

bye Bea!

1:56 pm

bye bzzzz

1:56 pm

i get our names confused

1:56 pm

*le sigh* the work i was doing for the last 2 weeks (that i had to keep staying late for) is coming back to haunt me! it just wont go away!!

1:56 pm

MonkeyG, I have a really cool link for you and Walter now..... http://www.owlpages.com/

1:56 pm

just the other side of the cows - LOLOL - now that is something you don't hear everyday

And they have barn owls at the smallest zoo in Europe which turns out to be in our town, but they were asleep an dlooked like slight beige buits through the foliage.

1:56 pm

Its full of everything you want to look at !

1:57 pm

so sorry eva

Owlpages we know! But very much thank you!

What work is that,Eva?

1:57 pm

Ah, I see... its cool though, yes !!

1:57 pm

testing applications...

The baby porcupines were fabulous though.

1:58 pm

i can just spend the afternoon here happily clicking on sites and exploring them

Oh yes!

Oh dear. Hang in there!

My husband's in IT. I know how that can drag on, haunt one, etc.

Speaking of which, where is he? The train form Arnhem should have been in by now...

2:01 pm

i can do that too sadie, unfortunately it takes from my work time, which is slow and dragging at this time

2:01 pm

so perhaps i'll do it anyway

Sound like mine, missbreeze. You are in social work, no? Or am I hopelessly confused again?

2:02 pm

was...now i am a transportation broker...and with fuel and production being up/down respectively, things are sloooww

Aha. I am entering my third year, reallky just a half year, getting my social work degree. My workplaec is Really Losing It.

I hope that I do not.

If I at least got paid it might help.

2:03 pm

is that the title of the agency Really Losing It, or just a descriptor - lol!? it can be tough, but hang in there - you will find the rewarding areas!

2:04 pm

it will help but not much - unfortunately the rewards aren't in the pay in SW, at least not in the USA - they are in the little things (which are really big in the scheme of life)

2:04 pm

MonkeyG, do you have the online link for the owl puzzles ?

OH, I know what areas I want to go into. By losing it I mean edging bankruptcy, juyst me and teh coordinator left, I don't get paid, wehave very few clients, boss has been acting very weird.

Owl puzzles?

I will be going into mental health social work, for the record.

2:05 pm

yes, jigsaw puzzles of owls, online !!

2:05 pm

oh yes, that is scary - i did mental health social work myself for a couple of years

OH NO! Ihave no money buit that is Walter's Two Greatest Passions!

2:06 pm

Care Coordination for adults primarily

2:06 pm

I am guessing not, so here you go http://www.picturesofscotland.org/scot landpictures/raptors/fun/index.html

2:06 pm

MonkeyG, they are free to do !!!!!

2:06 pm

i am sure they don't cost

2:06 pm

aha

I was alone when the schizophrenic lady phoned up threatening suicide... got her through it, got her sorted out. She's fine. Probabnly illegal that Ihad to deal with theat by myself.

2:07 pm

that is a bit bizarre that you didn't have supervision to deal with that circumstance

Thanks! Great owl stuff!

2:08 pm

There are about 32 of them online, free to do puzzles, owls, and birds of prey !

2:08 pm

You are so welcome MonkeyG !

iT DID GET ME MY CERTIFICATION IN PROACTIVE WORK:l i WROTE THE PROTOCOL NOW IN USE FO RTHAT SITUATION.

2:08 pm

you could also print them and cut them out if you felt really crafty

aKKKK, LEMME SORT THE CAPSLOCH THING...

I am very crafty.

2:09 pm

OK, going for a while now.... will see you all a bit later methinks !! Hugs to all, and Happy Babbling.... **poofing**

2:09 pm

that is just crazy that you wrote the protocol now in use for that station - that they didn't have one in place for you to use is a bit frightening to me....

2:09 pm

bye Aussie!

Tot ziens, aussie! Fijne dag verder!

2:10 pm

although it is great that you did a good job and were rewarded for it!

2:10 pm

i'm sure you can use that for your schooling as well - that situation

Oh it is out of control there. My first boss left with 2000 Euros in client money and petty cash and a comutre. The coordinator wa sleft alone with the management job. Everyone else quit and now it is just me and him. To be honest, I keep hoping he'll do something Really Inapproriate so I can just blackmail him fo rthe rest of my study points.

Thing is, Walter starts school next montha nd my hours get weird... can't look for somewhere else now. But when he is used to school I will, ideally somewhere paid. We need it. Big Time.

2:12 pm

lol - is your school aware of your placement situation?

2:13 pm

are you placed there through your school or is it considered an outside agency?

If they were I might not get my degree. The school sucks, but the material is good and th edegree respected. Just need to make it to February.

I had to fine my own internship position.

2:14 pm

i understand that you have to do what you have to do. Stick it out and hope for the best. Feb is not too far off - i worked 9 months without pay for mine.

Been at this place 18 months now. Will get through it if the boss doesn't actually proposition me or something. I do have an agreement with the lady next door, at the women-on-minimum-welfare place, that if it all really goes down I can move there.

She's great.

2:17 pm

eek - that is a bad situation to be in, but i guess if you make it through, you can look upon it as a great experience in workplace ethics - and use it - once you obtain your degree that is

2:17 pm

although looking on the bright side is not easy when you are in fear of being propositioned by a sleezbag jerk boss

He's actually a nice guy, just probably mentally unstable. He wouldn;t realize he was doiung anything wrong-- then he'd bend over backwards to make up for it.

back! Gotta Go1 Danny is back, I mean!#

2:19 pm

ok - have a great day!

2:20 pm

Is it just me, or is this board really difficult? I'm stuck at 23 words!

2:23 pm

hey wickd it's hard i'm stuck on 21

2:24 pm

Good. I wanted to make sure I wasn't just being blind. :)

2:28 pm

how many words are there?

2:30 pm

75

2:31 pm

oh man

2:31 pm

iwas hoping it was 25

2:34 pm

Ha! I'm now up to 29. Might have to go to Lickety's soon.

2:34 pm

27 here but god it's hard

I went to the list and it didn't really help... OK, time for dinner and bed on this cony=tinent. Real *poof* now! Have fun all...

2:36 pm

Bye Monkey!

2:47 pm

hey all...(lunch hour)

2:48 pm

hey Pini

2:48 pm

bad bad board today

2:48 pm

how goes it all? I know, Jacq, started at the flip and gave up after 34 words

2:49 pm

stuck on 28

2:49 pm

Hit Lickety's and I feel better at 43 words

2:50 pm

...and now figured I'd give it a 2nd shot, see what I could get...then more tonight.

2:50 pm

I'd help, but I'm not much further along than you are.

2:50 pm

opening the list now

2:50 pm

2:57 pm

my lunch was great - I had sushi!

2:58 pm

2:58 pm

my lunch is haunting me

2:58 pm

LOL jac

2:58 pm

2:59 pm

I think I need something else to kick it into "good"...

2:59 pm

I need a cookie and some really strong coffee... that is what I SHOULD be doing with my break

2:59 pm

I love sushi - not eeewwww - very tasty!

3:00 pm

3:00 pm

I'd rather have what's in your pic, kje!!!

3:00 pm

Nice going, jacq...a *little* spicy, eh???

ROFL!

3:08 pm

The second ro6 anyone?

3:09 pm

ro 6 - like a groupie...but they follow pavers instead of rock stars?

3:10 pm

Heh - cute clue! But I need the other one. Maybe I was wrong that it was the second one. :)

3:10 pm

other ro 6 - misspelled cowboy event?

3:11 pm

ro 6 - like bronco riding for pavers?

3:11 pm

Seriously? I was trying to get the actual spelling of the cowboy event to work... Guess I should have tried odd spellings

3:12 pm

Thanks kje, Actually that kind of event must be when you go down a r*** with speed bumps at high speed. YIPPPPEEEEE!

3:13 pm

wheeeee!

3:14 pm

BRB - going on a chocolate hunt

3:14 pm

there are at least 6 secretaries right outside my door - someone must have chocolate

3:15 pm

lol

3:25 pm

hello all

3:26 pm

just dragged the bottom part of a storage unit into the hallway, hopefully one of the other tenants will take it.

3:28 pm

if no one is going to say hello to me, I will just go do something else

3:28 pm

i'm sorry peri - going cross eyed with this grid

3:28 pm

HI !!!!!!!!!!

3:28 pm

hi peri! (just got here)

3:28 pm

it's ok really

3:28 pm

nasty grid today

3:28 pm

brb

3:29 pm

what did you do with the top part of the storage unit?

3:31 pm

hey peri

3:31 pm

OK, found some

3:31 pm

sorry was making a bottle

3:31 pm

gave the top two pieces to my niece

3:31 pm

that was a long chocolate hunt

3:31 pm

hi peri

3:31 pm

wb

3:32 pm

ei

3:32 pm

thanks peri...was just wondering

3:32 pm

hi kje

3:32 pm

Look kje...I'm not lurking!

3:32 pm

hi danlurkingf63

3:32 pm

would have given my niece the bottom part too, but it was too heavy for us to carry to third floor apt and she did not want to pay for someone to do it

3:33 pm

crap - you beat me!

3:33 pm

ei + dictionaries have **finitions

3:33 pm

Hi, all!

3:33 pm

did anyone see synchronized swimming at the Olympics. it was on at 3am here and I missed it

3:34 pm

Jellen, I did not type it in the chatbox. As usual, the pro add feature sometimes doesn't like it when I dwell on two letters

3:34 pm

hi jellen - did tim see the video? was he disappointed?

3:34 pm

and boinks it over here

3:34 pm

but thanks!

3:34 pm

Haven't finished yet, kje

3:35 pm

I thought talk of boobies might have spurred him on a bit

3:36 pm

OK - layman's opinion... if I say polypharmacy - what do you think that is? (do not look it up)

3:36 pm

just stopped by to say hi, see you all tomorrow

3:36 pm

bye peri!

3:36 pm

lots of drugs, kje

3:36 pm

multiple pharmacists? like mormons?

3:36 pm

waiting to see responses

3:36 pm

multiple pharmacy? many pharmacies?

3:36 pm

many drugs?

3:37 pm

like mormons? that lost me

3:37 pm

many pharmacies

3:37 pm

or getting prescriptions from multiple doctors - bad idea

3:37 pm

Yes, it did, but we're dealing with Paypal headaches and garage sale planning today.

3:37 pm

so if I say you are suffereing from polypharmacy?

3:37 pm

multiple drug interactions?

3:37 pm

oh - drug interactions

3:37 pm

better to suffer from that than polygamy

3:37 pm

many meds

3:38 pm

OK - thanks

3:38 pm

overmedication?

3:38 pm

? jac

3:38 pm

and the correct answer is.......?

3:38 pm

but then I'd call that mulipharmacy or plethorapharmacy :)

3:38 pm

Drum roll for kje....

3:39 pm

plethoropharmacy... cuz polypharmacy just isn't a mouthful already : )

3:39 pm

lol

3:39 pm

if you're going to use big words, have fun with it!

3:39 pm

see you tomorrow

3:40 pm

bye peri - don't you want to see the answer?

3:40 pm

correct answer - the use of 5 or more medications is the more common, but the more useful is inappropriate prescribing resulting in over utilization or misutiluzation of medications

3:41 pm

if polygamy were legal in this country I'd do it (polygamy=many marriages. The common misconception is that it means one man and many wives as practiced by FLDS. One man many wives=polygyny)

3:42 pm

my brother had polypharmacy then. He did it himself by seeing too many doctors and not telling them what else he was on

3:42 pm

well, many practice polypharmacy - but not a good thing... and trying to decrease it : )

3:42 pm

not a lifestyle choice - a catastrophe waiting to happen!

3:42 pm

LOL April - I have my hands full with one husband!

3:43 pm

yes Kris - that is a risk factor - multiple physicians

3:43 pm

indeed

3:43 pm

polyamory isn't a lifestyle choice for those who are it, any more than being gay is.

3:43 pm

and being boneheaded doesn't help.

3:43 pm

april - I was talking about polypharmacy

3:43 pm

but having multiple doctors? that is screwing with fate.

3:43 pm

well, polypharmacy any way

3:44 pm

kje, I was talking about polyamory, polygamy, and polygyny.

3:44 pm

OK - more trivia - average # of meds taken by those 80 and over (including OTCs)

3:45 pm

2 different discussion that kind of sound similar and dance with each other.

3:45 pm

daily? 15

3:45 pm

I vote - 8

3:45 pm

more than that

3:45 pm

15 - 25

3:45 pm

i vote 18

3:45 pm

22

3:45 pm

15 - holy sh** - you guys are pessimistic

3:46 pm

geez, i take about 8 and i am not even 40 yet!

3:46 pm

i was actually going to ask you earlier what is the most you have seen

3:46 pm

lol

3:46 pm

ny Dad takes 6 drugs, and 13 vitamins twice daily

3:46 pm

my aunt is over 60 and takes something like 25 a day

3:46 pm

including otc that seems low to me - lots of people take crazy amounts of vitamins

3:46 pm

then dan, I can guarantee that he is experiencing at least one drug-drug interaction and that several of those are coubnteracting others

3:46 pm

then there must be some who are taking their multivites only :)

3:46 pm

dans dad for instance

3:47 pm

I have seen more, but that is not average - average is 6

3:47 pm

do I win?

3:47 pm

including otc, kje?

3:47 pm

I don't know...all from 1 doctor for 5 different conditions. And the doctor told him to take the vitamins too

3:47 pm

yes

3:48 pm

clue for the AO pls

3:48 pm

BRB...courier here

3:48 pm

yay! I win :) -- ha ha ha

3:48 pm

my aunt has psoriatic arthritis so takes some chemo type meds for it, plus vitamins, plus stuff for the asthma, for the thyroid, for the psoriasis, for the pain and swelling, and vitamins

3:48 pm

where in texas were you transplanted from, missbeeze?

3:48 pm

13 separate vitamin pills?

3:48 pm

only 6, wow. I pass that now at 38

3:48 pm

dallas eiei

3:48 pm

the body dumps the vitamins it doesn't need

3:48 pm

actually a small town 30 miles south called Midlothian!

3:49 pm

i am in SA. getting lots of rain here today!

3:49 pm

ao6/ AO +vowel+ three letter word for father

3:49 pm

gotta love those small towns outside of in texas. lol

3:49 pm

whoo - i take 5 rx! yikers and one more as needed

3:49 pm

risk of serious drug-drug interaction with 6 pills - 5%, with 10 pills 12%, with 20 pills 40%

3:49 pm

and i am only 34 that is scary larry

3:50 pm

ty smoove

3:50 pm

polypharmacy is a major factor in risk of falls

3:50 pm

I take 4 rx daily and 3 others as needed.... thyroid and headaches....

3:50 pm

plus i take a Vitamin D and a multi. eek out

3:50 pm

thanks, smoove

3:50 pm

you guys are greakin' me out!!!!

3:50 pm

yah, I get warnings about the times I take my vitamins vs when I take the meds (all are prescribed, vitamins and meds)

3:50 pm

as is having a pet

3:51 pm

i take vites and calcium too

3:51 pm

missbreeze, do you take a calcium with your vit D? I was prescribed both to go together.

3:52 pm

wow - good for you kris - did you just happen to know that? it also increases risk for hip fractures, mental disorders including cognitive decline, urinary incontinence, and mortality

3:52 pm

I had to take 50,000 IU's once a week for 6 weeks of Vit D. I guess lots of people in the Pac Northwest get severely low, as was I.

3:52 pm

i've been studying falling in the elderly

3:52 pm

to name a few

3:52 pm

...oh, and disability

3:52 pm

no - i just take it because

3:53 pm

i take RX iron -

3:53 pm

calcium is needed to utilize the vit d I guess.

3:53 pm

ra4/5--I just can't see it.

3:53 pm

the body needs vit d to process callcium

3:53 pm

people in northern climes are more prone to osteo's because of the lack of vit d

3:53 pm

i think i get enough with my multi and my diet for the amount of vit d i take

3:53 pm

why kris?

3:54 pm

smoove - first part of the kind of bird eagles and hawks are - or a sports team

3:54 pm

is the the one that sounds like a type of music?

3:54 pm

for work

3:54 pm

that was me jac. I was also told a deficiency leaves you more vulnerable to cancers. I was really low.

3:54 pm

if not done yet, you should read mary tinetti's work

3:54 pm

my iron was a 5

3:54 pm

thank you.

3:55 pm

apparently that is low

3:55 pm

thanks - where can I find her?

3:55 pm

that was for kris, btw

3:55 pm

i am always borderline anemic. i had to take tons of iron during all my pregnancies

3:55 pm

i have to take RX iron to keep my iron stores stocked up or some nonsense

3:56 pm

i guess that means i'm anemic

3:56 pm

Googled her - thanks! I will read her!

3:56 pm

My iron sees fine, but my vit d was at a 12 when it should minimally be at a 20. I got prescribed prenatal vitamins so I'd take them (they smell like marshmallows)

3:56 pm

do you use PubMed - easiest search... put in tinetti me

3:56 pm

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entr ez/

3:56 pm

hi, all. could anyone help me with ro6/21 (the second one) and ta6/24?

3:57 pm

prenatal vitamins are the best multi out there, even for guys. lol

3:57 pm

ro6 - weird way to spell the hodown

3:57 pm

she is at yale, kris - though I heard she may be leaving several months back, so not sure if she has moved yet or not

3:57 pm

round up

3:57 pm

ro6/21 is the guy who sets up for the rock concert

3:57 pm

and ta is ta and double cons

3:58 pm

ta6 is faucet + dog/cat/fish

3:58 pm

still on the Yale web site :)

3:58 pm

oh, yes 2nd one - what dan said

3:58 pm

oooh thank you.

3:58 pm

ooohh yw

3:58 pm

hi, all, just tuning in - thanks for the reference to tinetti, kje- saw something interesting there - she is studying clinical decision making in the face of competing health conditions - something we are facing here now

3:58 pm

Click and Clack - the Ta6 brothers!

3:58 pm

she has made a career out of falls

3:58 pm

that is notable!

3:59 pm

JBV - if you are interested in that, you should look up Bolt CM as well (at Hopkins)

3:59 pm

and a cool paper by Holmes HM in Archives of Internal Medicine March 2006

4:00 pm

good clue kris!

4:00 pm

wow, kje - how do you do that? do you have a bibliography in your brain?

4:01 pm

I have been working on medical decision making in older adults re: pharmacology issues

4:01 pm

tinetti, on the other hand, is from fellowship - falls are a common geriatric syndrome, and she pretty much did mots of te early research on it

4:01 pm

really? How cool is that! It must be fascinating - the more meds they need, the harder the decision-making, right?

4:02 pm

helps keep her brain young!

4:02 pm

ta4 and do6 please. I have just 5 left.

4:02 pm

so glad to hear this is a topic for study - most of the doctors we are seeing don't seem to know about it

4:02 pm

kind of a catch 22

4:02 pm

My friend's mom was/is depressed and ended up with serious drug-seeking behavior; they had to intervene...

4:02 pm

do 6 is a fish

4:02 pm

the cards TA4 without the end though

4:02 pm

my brain is young!!! I am not that old!!!

4:02 pm

sheesh, bee!

4:02 pm

do - el do**** (the car or the movie)

4:02 pm

do6 is a John Wayne Movie "El Do****", or another name for dolphin fish.

4:03 pm

I have the card thingy

4:03 pm

JBV - it is under recognized, like most geriatric issues, most docs are not well trained in caring for older adults... they are not just older versions of 40 year olds

4:03 pm

got the fish--thanks

4:04 pm

hi ruru - popping in and out as well?

4:04 pm

they better GET used to it - I intend to get old one of these days!

4:04 pm

we saw your pic ruru - it was nice

4:04 pm

you and a whole lot of other people Kris - we are in trouble

4:04 pm

Bingo. Thanks you guys. That was fireworks with those great clues.

4:04 pm

WOOHOO skooj!!!!

4:05 pm

Woohoo, skoo!

4:05 pm

WTG skooj!

4:05 pm

yea skooj!

4:05 pm

ty, ty, ty. Once again, nicest and most interesting chat spot on the web.

4:08 pm

my pic.. the owl?

4:08 pm

Trying to grow a beak like that ...maybe I should have a nose job...?

4:08 pm

yes - it is interesting how your desire for pork is inate - i have never known anyone to like it so

4:09 pm

so much so that they naturally call out for it

4:09 pm

did someone mention bacon?

4:09 pm

mmmmmmmm

4:09 pm

perhaps you shouldn't try the video idea, since your feathers are so nice though

4:10 pm

ooh, Kris - i dig your trash can!

4:11 pm

thanks, missbeeze! target.com

4:11 pm

it is pretty :)

4:11 pm

i love target and target.com and must stay away at all costs - literal and otherwise!

4:11 pm

Still waiting for the countertops, and I have to send the walmart.com table and chairs back. Someday we'll have our kitchen...

4:12 pm

you have to send them back b/c they aren't from target.com

4:12 pm

target.com didn't have a table and chairs. And I've decided not to buy any chairs I have to build myself with a teeny allen wrench

4:12 pm

crossy,s back:))

4:13 pm

hi crossy!

4:13 pm

guess who's back....

4:13 pm

Katty is back

4:14 pm

yes - that is what you will get honestly from both target or walmart - you will have to spend a bit of money to get a decent table and chairs...or find a good bargain!

4:14 pm

hi kat!

4:14 pm

but definitely don't get ones you have to put together.

4:14 pm

garage sale....

4:14 pm

hey kat!

4:14 pm

my friend was looking on craigslist, but I think I'll have to go to the local retro place and pay $$

4:14 pm

wonders can be done with either a bucket of paint...or some paint/varnish stripper

4:14 pm

can find you some deals there or at estate sales!

4:14 pm

so...what's up

4:15 pm

about to stop pretending i'm working and go run errands!

4:15 pm

Looking for something specific - red laminate / vinyl table with chrome legs & trim

4:15 pm

kje...are you still here?

4:15 pm

ouch..good luck with THAT

4:15 pm

sounds like our kitchen table from the 60,s lol

4:16 pm

It should - do you still have it, crossy?

4:16 pm

oh like a 50s style retro

4:16 pm

yes danlurkingf63

4:16 pm

wait a sec before you leave bee

4:16 pm

but....if you get any vinyl table...you SHOULD be able to remove the trim..and buy new red vinyl

4:16 pm

what about the chairs - do you want real chairs - k kj - real chairs or those barstool things

4:16 pm

no..alas the padding in the top of the chairs started coming out and it was retired

4:16 pm

tha video was uncalled for...but very funny! "Can we come back?"

4:16 pm

yes - usually the tables are laminate, but the chairs are vinyl

4:17 pm

I want real chairs - I'm too short for bar stools :)

4:17 pm

LOL dan - you didn't like it???

4:17 pm

perhaps you and ruru could get together and practice on an encore performance dan

4:17 pm

bee - go to this link - your comment reminded me of it... http://www.theonion.com/content/news/s tudy_finds_working_at_work

4:29 pm

oh, well i'd be DIYing me some wine!

4:30 pm

4:30 pm

I thought the customers would make the wine

4:31 pm

diving into the grid for a bit...sploosh!

4:31 pm

they pay an extra charge and I make it for them

4:31 pm

kat the winemaker - i'd be tippin me a few back - think of this as an opportunity!

4:31 pm

i'd want to make my own - can you make your own without paying the extra charge?

4:31 pm

but I have to drive home....

4:31 pm

you could call it research...

4:31 pm

yeap..u do it at home tho

4:32 pm

how does this winemaking work? does this place have a website?

4:32 pm

( actually kris..there a couple stores here in town..where the owners have become alcoholics...and that is SO tempting in a place like this )

4:32 pm

is it commercial

4:32 pm

oh, well that is not good.

4:32 pm

is it the boredom that leads one to the drink, kat?

4:32 pm

the products we have are at www.vineco.on.ca

4:33 pm

there are american wineries that use it

4:33 pm

no..its all the people coming in..and the sampling

4:33 pm

people can be so annoying.

4:33 pm

OK - back to making PP slides - adios

4:33 pm

present company excepted, of course!

4:33 pm

u get to know your customers..they ask you if u want some...a glass here..a glass there..soon you've had 5 or 6 in a day..every day

it is like the mroning crew all over again

5:42 pm

hi sprite and exwren.

5:42 pm

Hi Sprite {{hugs}} are you feeling better?

5:42 pm

*passes Atalante's wisdom from years back:* Cheating is looking up the actual words. All the rest.... is research.

5:42 pm

i couldn't have ever finished any boards without help and i gladly give thanks and angel wings to all who help

5:42 pm

a T and an O left ........

5:43 pm

I am still contemplating the "I can't cheat cuz I'm the mom comment" that sounds tricky to me

5:43 pm

not much, Mom, it was a tough day that ended in my son being a royal ass to all of us, and me having to fix it all. I should be in bed by now, but don't feel like it.

5:43 pm

that kinda sounds like something a mom would say... as she was cheating

5:43 pm

Mom's aren't suppose to cheat. They are to set the examples to the little darlings

5:43 pm

hello all! Just popping in to have an icon-brag -- this one shows our rowers but I'm about to change it for another winner I hope you'll read about!

5:44 pm

hi jilli!

5:44 pm

wowie jilli :)

5:44 pm

5:44 pm

5:44 pm

5:44 pm

*hugs Mom* Thanks dear Mom, for asking and caring. Makes me feel better already.

5:45 pm

thank you Jacq

5:45 pm

You are so welcome Sprite. How old is your son?

5:45 pm

sprite you have my sympathies hun, i have a 17 year old here with her baby and the babies daddy, it's hellish hard at times

5:45 pm

hope you feel better soon sprite.

5:45 pm

my hubby asked him if he knew how to spell youtube, and my son began laughing and yelling: oh, you are so stupid, don't you even know that, that is soooo incredibly stupid!

5:46 pm

omg jacq, that is more than hard. *hug* That is really tough!

5:46 pm

oh Jacq, {{hugs}} to you too

5:46 pm

how old sprite?

5:46 pm

Oh Sprite, how terrible

5:46 pm

(my sister is in your boat right now jac - except it is her son bringing the baby home)

5:46 pm

I will, mo, promise. Tomorrow is another day, and it is all settled now. He was rude to me as well, and to his sister... bad day in puberty, lol. He is 12 yo.

5:47 pm

laughs thanks for the hugs ladies, but so far today has been ok

5:47 pm

Here's the story...

5:47 pm

when I got mad at him for being so rude to his dad, he called me chagrined. Etc. You can guess the rest.

5:47 pm

12 is an awful age

5:48 pm

Sprite, he is getting an early start at the mouthing off. ... **mails Sprite some duct tape**

5:48 pm

well, even 12 year olds have bad days - send him to his room and hope for a better mood tomorrow

5:48 pm

wonderful story Jilli

5:48 pm

hehehe, usually he isn't that bad. And I don't care what age he is, he is not allowed to be rude. He can speak his mind in a civilised way, or not at all. Call me old fashioned, but that is how it is.

5:49 pm

sprite a good idea we used to use it at work is to record them when they go off on one and when they've calmed down and you're revisiting it play it back they get so embarassed

5:49 pm

Amen, Sprite

5:49 pm

I sympathise with you poor parents, its at times like these I am glad I never had children.

5:49 pm

oh jilli, wonderful story!

5:50 pm

stidkid #1 missed out on the trip here because he was rude to his mother

5:50 pm

very cool jilli! thanks

5:50 pm

lol, great idea, jacq!

5:50 pm

wtg stidmama. I honestly believe in the end it is best for the kids if they learn limits.

5:51 pm

I think Canada will rejoice for that silver as much as any other gold.

5:51 pm

Oh Jilli, I bet he will think twice next time

5:51 pm

it is a special silver, jilli :)

5:51 pm

I agree Sprite

5:51 pm

I just changed my icon. Rebecca Adlington won two gold medals in swimming in 400 and 800 metres

5:51 pm

Hi ExWren

5:51 pm

okay Mo, I need help ....

5:52 pm

mo, raising kids is an adventure. In the middle of it all, it can be terrible. But it is a helluva story once you can look back ;)

5:52 pm

5:52 pm

7:56 pm

Watching the Olympics also and wishing for rain here LOL

7:56 pm

Thats always a sign

for now i am pretending its a dream...

7:57 pm

Hahah

i'm really not ready...

7:58 pm

I am going to take a break and come back maybe for my last 25 words. Have a good one and be safe

bye mama

7:59 pm

bye mama

8:00 pm

8:04 pm

8:04 pm

and with that firewords

8:04 pm

and with that... Im outta here

8:04 pm

bye red :)

yay ice!

8:06 pm

Hi everyone...is anyone still here?

Hi lbd, its just me... with 42 left, late started.

8:06 pm

you can do it, red

Maybe I should sleep.

8:07 pm

sleep is good too

yes, I need to get up really easly and try to run...

early...that is.

How are you lbd?

8:09 pm

how many miles do you run each day?

8:09 pm

i'm fine. whiney cuz of the heat, but otherwise, fine.

depends, tomorro is the long run for the week, 12...

I may change it up because my legs hurt a little.

8:10 pm

12 miles...how long will that take you? me it would forever!

I hope it only takes like a little over 2 hours...we'll see.

8:11 pm

good luck!

thanks! i am still trying to figure out why they need to wear bikinis to play beach volley ball?

I guess it depends on the tropical sotrm too...

8:12 pm

good question. I think they should all have to wear shorts and a baggy t-shirt

Or something that looks like athletic gear.

8:13 pm

the guys don't wear speed-os! eeek

I am entertained mildly though, the brazilian team has the letters BRA on the top...an abbreviation, but its too funny to me.

8:14 pm

lol, that is funny

I keep trying to find words that start with Z.

8:15 pm

no z words.

yes, this is why I keep not finding any!

8:15 pm

the z is only used once.

8:16 pm

lol, that's a good reason for not finding any, red!

Wow, I cant beleive no one else is here!

8:17 pm

everyone must have finished and are now watching the olympics, undistracted.

track and field is exciting.

8:18 pm

i wish i had more patience in watching tv.

Well, its only tv lbd...

8:20 pm

I just can sit and watch, i need to be doing other things, so i'm not really watching. and the commercials drive me nuts.

8:20 pm

that should read, i just can't sit and watch.

I am almost always on the internet when watching television..

its interesting, but...

8:21 pm

no tv in my computer room. too small and thusly too hot!

I have wires all over my apartment, just to make sure I can do that...I admit that the two together are fun.

8:25 pm

i usually fall asleep with the tv on. i can imagine my falling asleep in my keyboard! lol

:) Just watching all that hurricane news now.

8:26 pm

is Fay coming towards landfall?

Apparently it has sort of hit Florida keys,

8:28 pm

well, i hope it degrades down to just a storm and not a hurricane

I'm a bit confused as to if its a storm now or an actual hurricane...

8:29 pm

winds less than 60, so it's a tropical storm. if it degrades to slower winds it could be a tropical depression. higher and it goes to catagory 1 hurricane

Ah, they have extended the warning closer to me.

I think it will just rain, alot.

8:31 pm

i hope it just rains for you, red.

Just looking, it appears to still be off the coast of south fl....

8:31 pm

Re: Beach Volleyball - the Volleyball poohbahs make the women wear bikinis and the bottoms can't be taller than 7 cm -- purely for ratings/attraction. They know it's not the best thing to play in. The honchos don't care.

8:32 pm

geez, selling sex at the olympics.

wierd.

I am watching it now and even int he skimpy outfits it isn't particularly sensuous....

8:35 pm

I think it's the Volleyball federation authorities, but the Olympics folks love it because it makes the competition popular. NBC loves it because it draws in dudes, and gets them more advertising money to make touching video segments about how people are playing despite the pain of losing their car keys.

8:35 pm

probably not, but for those with vivid imaginations...ahh, julen, well said.

8:37 pm

those VB players are sticks! those skimpy things aren't really sexy : )

8:37 pm

but is annoying if tehy are forced to wear them

hi kje and julen.

I have seen enough beach volleyball...for forever.

8:38 pm

hi red - how goes it

8:38 pm

hi kje

8:38 pm

hurricane jitters gone I hope

ok, very tired. not sure whats going to happen with the weather.

8:39 pm

hi lbd

8:39 pm

I suspect they spray glue the bottom and tops on (I would!). I'm tired of it, too. I'd like to see more variety of events.

8:40 pm

it is currently expected to be a level one storm red, so pretty minor (comparatively) so wouldn't worry too much

8:40 pm

I like th ereal VB - now that is a great sport

My only worry is about getting to and from work, I have a TON of appointments this week...

8:40 pm

are all the teams wearing the same type of outfit?

pretty much LBD.

8:41 pm

i think you need to be concerned about flooding, red.

8:41 pm

LOL, lbd - love the cartoon today

8:42 pm

:-)

yes, I am just hoping it falls apart as some storms do!

I have got to go to sleep....big running tomorro. bye all!!!

8:47 pm

Oh, someone here mentioned him (I thought) in the pt. I'd heard that he has pancreatic cancer and I was just hoping that he's doing ok.

11:54 pm

he does have cancer...and he's doing miraculously well

11:54 pm

Oh, thanks KAZZZ.

11:54 pm

yes he does. Its odd he looks pretty good so far. I remember when Michael Landon had it unfortunately i dont think after he announced he had it that he was alive more longer after that

swayze lost a lot of weight until they put him on protein shakes twice a day which he is able to digest and is helping keep his weight more stable!

11:58 pm

Hi to you too Jellen. I didn't finish the puzzle today...am trying to stay up and do some on the next one.

11:58 pm

Thats interesting isnt it Kaz?

11:58 pm

Well if that is all he is taking in i would lose weight too lol

11:59 pm

its loaded with calories and seems to be keeping him on the right track

11:59 pm

An io5/14 is io plus Enable ***tionary for babble tijani

11:59 pm
