Good morning all. At last back on line with my beautiful new netbook. Hope you are all well. Any news I should know?

1:32 am

hi Dee~! aint my fave

hi spritey! hi lore; hugs just

1:32 am

hello France lovely to see you again

1:33 am

it is, 1Mar :) 5 friends together in a little cottage, with an indoor sauna and swimmingpool and fire place. Playing the transformation game and lazing about, laughing and crying and talking and hugging and laughing some more.

1:33 am

hi Frances!

1:33 am

hi dee, lore, sprite! I was buried in the grid

1:33 am

Great to be back. I've missed you all.

1:33 am

so hope you have a great time spritey

1:33 am

hi frances

1:33 am

hugs jilli

1:33 am

gratz on the new toy, Frances

1:33 am

Hi frances

1:34 am

hi jilli

1:34 am

we will, 1Mar. We have been doing this for years. Used to be with 6, but we lost our dear friend Jom 2 years ago. But in a way she is still with us there.

1:34 am

sprite it sounds like a good place to revive you will come back a new Princess

1:36 am

always works that way, lobo! All friends of about the same 'spiritual lvl' (sounds awful but don't know how to explain it short otherwise). We lift eachother up without even trying, just by being together.

1:36 am

that's what friends are for

1:37 am

oh jilli, that means I won't be changing the themes for a week :( Will put it in my profile and I will be back saturday next week.

1:37 am

is this cottage in the woods sprite

1:38 am

it is on Ameland, lobo, one of the dutch Wadden Islands. No woods, alas. But sea and beach (which I will not visit probably) and salty air, and peace and lots of empty space.

1:38 am

sprite, you've already listed the coming themes in your profile if people scroll down

1:38 am

yes and I will make it even more clear before I leave, jilli. It will work ok, I think, and it is only for a week. *hugs*

Phantoms: redolent and indolent

1:41 am

hehehe I am always the early bird there. So I get up, get the sauna to heat up, then make tea and coffee. My very best friend is early too, she comes down and we have coffee. Then we go into the sauna, shower, swimmingpool. It is bliss.

I move to classify "dolent" as a word. Who will second the motion?

1:41 am

my phantom is: why am I here and why am I doing this!

1:42 am

lol 1Mar, because you love to torture yourself and because you love our company

lmao

1:42 am

i'll 2nd it sam

1:42 am

seconded, Sam!

1:42 am

so I'm a masochist and and socialist?

1:43 am

if you really want to label yourself, 1Mar... *ev4 grin*

You are funny, Mar

1:43 am

yep a barrel of laughs is me!

1:44 am

Sprite I get back and I see that you aree going away.

1:45 am

will leave on Sunday and am back Friday night, Frances.

1:45 am

how long have you been away frances?

1:46 am

have missed you, Frances

1:47 am

Been away for about two months. First thing I did when I got the new toy was load babble expert and skype.

1:47 am

well wb frances!

1:47 am

lolol Frances... not an addict then, but strongly attached to babble anyway.

1:48 am

Missed you too sprite. I hope you have been well and wish you well for your break. Have a very restful time.

1:49 am

am going to enjoy it to the hilt. And will be back soon :) Sooner than you were, lol. How have you been?

1:50 am

yeahhh darn v's done

1:54 am

Spite I've been well but at a bit of a loose end without babble to take up my time. Amazing how you casn miss something. At least the house got the benefit of all that extra time.

1:55 am

it is great to have you back, Frances. We need you more than the house does ;)

1:56 am

Just realised - I called you 'spite'. How could I?

evening all :)

1:56 am

*giggles* Not one of my sins, so I am certain it was a typo.

1:56 am

hi mrP!

1:57 am

hi MrP! hope you're well and recouperated

hi mrp

1:57 am

Hi mrp. Long time no see. How are you?

1:57 am

hi mrp :)

hi all :)) recouperating!

1:59 am

Mrp - recouperating? I hope you haven't had a relapse?

oh I sure did... i was put on meds to help with coming off morphine... it was a disaster

1:59 am

I meant from moving household frances!

the move has gone very well! we are almost unpacked, but so much to still do

2:01 am

So you replaced one type of drug with another! I do so hope that you are OK now. Lots of hugs.

2:02 am

You've moved again?

good morning babblers

2:02 am

Morning josh

2:03 am

hi josh

2:03 am

hi josh

2:04 am

guess what -- no hiccup at the usual time!

2:04 am

Hiccup this end jilli.

2:04 am

hi josh

i didn't replace the morphine with anything... i just came off it. I did have to go on anti-anxiety meds, but they made me almost mad with anxiety! haven't eaten for 4 weeks, and haven't slept for 5 weeks more than 3 hours a night.

2:04 am

for me there was jilli...

2:04 am

I had a hiccup here

2:05 am

hmf -- I didn't notice one and was looking for it

2:05 am

you scared it off, jilli :)

2:05 am

weird

2:05 am

how weird, I did update the themes yesterday before bed, but I must have made a mistake, the text was still same as yesterday. Well, all corrected now and new icon to fit the day.

so, went to doc, have lost 6 kg over 3 weeks, and was taken off meds immediately.

2:06 am

oh, mrp -- I thought you were off meds and all better!

2:07 am

wow MrP that's a lot of weight for a slim woman

I look disgusting now... skin & bone

2:07 am

:(

2:08 am

you could do with a little more mass, mrP, but you never look disgusting.

2:09 am

mrp, you're a real beauty

got NBT reasonably quickly

that is often a barometer of how tough a grid will be

2:09 am

haha josh

problem is sprite, they gave me a drug that helped to alleviate symptoms of coming off meds, but it just made me sick.

thanks jilli and sprite... nice to know i am not hideous to my babble buddies

2:10 am

.......< laughs with jilli

2:11 am

and what is the status now, mrP? Off all meds?

what's the word on the street? ridiculous grid?

2:11 am

mrp hi there sorry to hear of your dilemma hope it can be sorted you can always sit in the PB 24hrs a day that will get the weight back on

off all meds till Sunday sprite, then start on a new one, that will hopefully not starve me and give me panic-attacks

2:12 am

lobo I love your icon!

2:12 am

all this during the move too? :( poor MrP

ah lore! is it full of chicken schnitzel??

2:12 am

tried to fins one for the 8s too hard so went easy

2:12 am

Mrp that is a drastic way to lose weight. Don't think I'll go down that route. For you my darling, it aint over till the fat lady sings..........and I've just hit top c for you.

2:12 am

we will fill it up until it comes out your ears mrp

2:12 am

*holds mrP warm and close* One step at a time, hun. Tough times, but things will get better soon now.

mar, terrible time to move, but it was our best opportunity for the kids

2:13 am

sending MrP Mars famous chicken shnitzel!

yes, things will get better, they always do!! (praying) and the schnitzel is in the oven as we speak!!

2:14 am

enjoy MrP

2:15 am

or as they say here...bon apetit

2:15 am

we will send only positive vibes to mrp and lots of hugs

i need some serious fattening up! I don't eat sugar, so that is a hiccup, but give me deep-fried battered and crumbed stuff... I love it!

2:15 am

they are bound to now, mrP :) Enough is enough and you've had more than enough. So the med will work miracles, you will gain weight until you feel ok again and the pain will be manageable without extra drugs needed.

thanks you all of you!!

2:15 am

oh and also everything that is deepfried

2:16 am

just spend some time at McDonalds, mrp!

yes jilli! did that yesterday! filled up on half a latte! how sad

2:17 am

i was thinking some old fashioned southern cooking fried chicken gumbo grits Babblers from the south mrp needs your cooking

2:18 am

south USA lore or South Oz? lol

2:18 am

building it back up again will take some time, hun. Such a good thing you have been practicing patience until it drove you wild lately ;)

2:18 am

maybe southern canada?

2:18 am

usa of course just1 that aint no aussie tucker

i was terribly surprised to be told that I needed to take 4 valium (diazepan?) at a time... until sunday. I believe that would knock out a horse!

2:19 am

no calories in kangaroo koala goana crocs or snakes

2:19 am

well we got a dish here in Que called poutine.....fresh cut fries with cheddar cheese curds and yummy bbq sauce...

2:20 am

it could, mrP, but if there is pain and anxiety enough, it won't. So I think you will be safe.

2:20 am

guaranteed to put on 5lbs a time

fries with cheese?? never heard of it!

2:20 am

t

2:20 am

it's too yumm....

2:20 am

mrp hope you are taking liquid suppliments

yes sprite! it certainly helped last night

2:21 am

an old French Canadian recipe

2:21 am

Over here we have chunky cut chips with mature cheddar grated over the top......yummy.

i am lore. it is all i can manage

brb, need to check on the schnitzel!

2:23 am

Sprite your musical instruments have reminded me andre rieu his concert is here in Perth this weekend

3:31 am

My condolences hodag. Winter is gross. :(

3:31 am

howdy josh&lori this snow sucks it is to early for this much1

snow is not an issue very often for this area

i wonder if we will get a snow that sticks on the ground this year or not - i don't remember if we got one last year or not

3:34 am

Good morning/evening all.

3:34 am

josh you could have talked all night and not have said that :)

g'day haz

Hello Haz!

3:35 am

Hello there! Things are fine, thank you. Just about to start the grid.

3:36 am

G'd morning Haz

3:36 am

Josh I love your icon some times I can relate to that :)

i'm going to shoot for 160 before listing - this one is a little stingy so far

3:36 am

It's an interesting one today, an opportunity to test ones v words

me too, chickie - the most dramatic frog

3:36 am

I haven't started it yet to busy talking but loveing it :)

3:37 am

Hello Lori - you're not forgetting plurals today, I'm sure.

i'm at 123 right now, 17 of the V's out of the way, including a 7

3:37 am

Forget plurals? I have no idea what makes you say that.

3:38 am

I know. I say strange things sometimes.

3:38 am

It's just so random, and rare, it caught me off guard....

3:38 am

there are at least 2 x 7 and an 8 josh

3:39 am

but I still have 4 x v to find

just got the other 7 and the 8

5 left for me

3:43 am

You've got to be joking!

3:44 am

lol

3:45 am

3:45 am

Honestly, I think husband needs careful watching.

3:46 am

quite the impulse buyer isn't he, what with that and the helicopter!

3:46 am

I know. There must be some sort of madness comes over him causing his usual sense to depart temporarily.

missing one Z - 4 X ze4, 1 X zo4 - which one do i need?

3:48 am

zo5/20

3:48 am

3:50 am

gm Trif:)

3:50 am

3:50 am

I don't know whether this is a good or a bad game for insomniacs.

3:51 am

yay v's greyed

3:51 am

i think it's prob bad - I get all into it, and get goofy excited when I get a hard word - not exactly sleep inducing!

GM all, A hello and goodbye, as I have got to run off to work again... Have a good Babbling day.

3:52 am

Yea for FM. G;d morning Tri

3:58 am

bye FM! Sorry to have missed you.

3:58 am

G'd morning sprite

3:59 am

I think it's hovering around the 8 or 9 C. Not freezing but cool enough.

it's 3 here - with a little ice falling in the form of freezing rain

but the roads are not too bad, i was just whisking around in my little car

4:00 am

we are way under freezing here in boston - gross.

4:00 am

hi Lori, having fun with this grid?

4:01 am

Likin' it so far, but they're always likeable at the beginning.

are there any crazy pf or ps words in this grid?

4:02 am

am almost done and still having a ball, so you should be fine

4:05 am

hey all

4:05 am

hi bfsog

4:05 am

the past 3 days the grids been around the 200 mark!

4:06 am

G'd morning bf

4:06 am

yup almost suggests some consistency :)

4:06 am

hey lori, sprite et all

4:09 am

you know how some people will be working through the grid, then pop into chat and then will switch back to the grid but without clicking out the chat, and then will post words to the chat

4:09 am

if you sit in the chat without typing it should set focus back to he grid in my opinion

4:09 am

lol yes?

4:10 am

Ack, found 'em josh. pa x po x 2

4:11 am

the very first thing I have suggested when the pro site came on. But according to drG it would be "counter-intuitive" and furthermore it would not be any problem, because people would be used to it very soon.

4:11 am

There's a weird po 6/36, FYI

got the po6/36 on first try, ty

4:12 am

i cannot see how its counter intuitive, it would stop words being posted in err

4:12 am

yup. I totally agree, bfsog.

missing one p

4:13 am

for those who chat regularly they will not notice a thing and for those who pop in with random outbursts 9much like this one) they would welcome it

4:14 am

pa 5, 4, 5, 5 po 4, 6

ty, i was missing one of the pa5's. got it now

4:15 am

very true, bfsog. DrG told me in quite rude terms that less than 1% of the babblers ever posts words in the chat, so that that made me a liar to claim almost all chatters had trouble with it. Guess the difference between people who play AND chat and people who just play was't clear to him at all.

4:15 am

---feeling guilty now, as I pop in and out, AND have done the "post in error" thing - but only during my first game - have tried to be much more mindful!

4:16 am

where did he get that figure from

4:16 am

I bless the Expert, not for the clues, but for the chat/add box. Brilliant invention.

4:16 am

Trifioso, please don't feel guilty. It is as bfsog says, it is the setup of the site that is to blame. We all do it (all chatters I mean). It happens.

4:17 am

Tri, think nothing of it, we ALL do it. Everybody.

4:17 am

it's weird though, being new and all. I feel so intrusive when I chat, like I am the newest guest at a party of old friends....everyone has been most welcoming, but still, one wonders how much to say, if anything

4:17 am

don't know, bfsog. My feeling is that he made the Pro version of the site, and then wanted to never having to change a thing about it again. I didn't email with him anymore after that since it was clear he did not want feedback, just compliments.

4:18 am

Tri, been there done that. No worries.

i have ae 6, 7, 4 - are there others?

4:18 am

Trifioso, please feel free to chat as much as you like. You will be a regular in no time :)

4:18 am

tri i still do it and i been here for ages! i was suggesting a feature that i would like to see

4:19 am

yes, yes, I totally understand!

Hi very briefly! Trif, do NOT worry about it! Youa re MOST welcome here. Hi Sprite!

4:19 am

well, thanks all!

4:19 am

does the pro site look different to what us noobs see?

4:19 am

We have had about a week without Lickety updating the clues and I even managed to post 5 words after another in the chat the first day :(

4:20 am

MonkeyG! I heard you have a dislocated spine disk?

4:20 am

lol sprite

After two weeks you lose the tile stats at the bottom unless you go pro, Trif.

I probably have a ruptured spine disc, Sprite. Find out for sure Monday.

4:20 am

oh good lawd, that is what I play by!

4:20 am

Trifioso: not for the first couple of weeks. But the site before Pro existed was very different from this one.

4:21 am

do you have to renew every year, or just buy in the once?

4:21 am

once in a lifetime fee, Trif

4:22 am

MonkeyG, that is bad news :(

4:22 am

monkey! Yowch!

I know. AND it's the worst time in the past or coming couple of years to get this, too. Must finish school. 8 more weeks...

4:23 am

still your health has to take priority, hun... really! But I understand the need to finish school.

We'll see what the orthopedist says Monday. He found out that I can't lift the toes on my right foot and has ordered x-rays. Maybe I can get away with the shots. At least until I get that degree.

4:24 am

yup. Chances are you will have to wait for any surgery anyway, seeing how they have waiting lists for about everything nowadays.

Yup. But if I do get surgery, even in a couple of months, how am I supposed to get Walter to school and back?!

4:25 am

what are you studying MG?

4:25 am

Josh, the other 2 a's are ap's......

Social work.

ty lori - greyed the top a, have 4 left on the bottom one

In Dutch.

4:26 am

sooshil verk

4:26 am

which actually should earn you two degrees, imo, MonkeyG :)

4:26 am

sociaal werk. Close, Trif :D

4:26 am

Sorry nobody answered josh, I have a tiny attention span this morn....

4:27 am

but mine is more fun to say!

4:27 am

lol true

Hee, hee... if only. Found my ideal workplace, by the way-- need to send an open sollicitation letter.

4:27 am

*keeps fingers crossed*

4:27 am

I love hearing my neighbor get going in dutch when she is speaking to her family....it's such a pretty language, and she speaks wicked fast - love it

It's Kunst om de Hoek, a giant art studio for people who've suffered a brain injury.

4:28 am

but it is a tough language to learn for foreign people

4:28 am

ooooh, cool! Very "50 first dates!"

It SUUUURRRREEE is!

4:29 am

oh my MonkeyG that would be so perfect! You would fit right in.

4:29 am

oh god... MonkeyG, I meant with the staff! Being educated socially and being creative yourself! Not errr the brain injury thing!

Well, I'm not sure if any clients currently have that sort of brain injury.... most of the people I met had to go from normal to in a wheelchair with limited use of one hand, that kind of thing.

4:29 am

lol sprite

Sprite, I know, but it was still very very funny the way you said it!

4:30 am

*puts both feet in mouth so she won't say anything else bad*

No, no, it was FUNNY!

4:30 am

...still laughing....

4:31 am

I am seriously blushing here!

Remember, Trif, she's MET me....

4:31 am

I sure did and she is one helluva smart lady

Awww shucks.

4:32 am

It does sound like a fantastic placement, though. I studied speech path for a while in grad school, and I loved working with stroke patients and such - they were mostly so sweet, and were so eager to get better that they were compliant with therapies and just a joy

4:32 am

you will be perfect for the job, anyway, MonkeyG. Be certain to tell them about your creative ta6 as well!

Yeah, we had a tour from my school and this place is fabulous. The clients can do any kind of art they like, all the meterials are provided, including for woodworking, ceramis, apholstery, etc. The employees assist and guide.

Thanks! They have no openings right now but I got the contact person't name from teh floor manager.

4:33 am

sounds great

OK, we need to go shopping across the street now. We were caught out in the gale-force-9 winds and horizontal hail and now that it's cleared up a tad we should run over there as fast as we can. Back in a while!

4:34 am

don't run, Monkey! And take care.

OK. Cn't actually run anyway. Will take care, I promise. *poof-for-now*

4:35 am

lol, very Tarzan-y Li7

4:35 am

bye MG

4:37 am

and that is fireworks for me. Any clues needed before I go?

4:37 am

yes - could you hint a bit more about the tarzan thing?

4:38 am

the thing Tarzan loves to swing on. With the robot ending... meaning ......-like.

got my 160 sans list

4:38 am

Good job josh.

4:38 am

gratz josh

4:40 am

sorry sprite, it's way late, and I am just not getting this....it's a LI?

4:41 am

yes, Li7/32 to be precise. Li + vowel + first 2 letters of protruding thing in face + part of Self.

4:42 am

one of my last words, never seen it before

4:44 am

any luck, Trif?

4:45 am

still trying...keep in mind it's five am....not at my best....

4:45 am

different clue: 1st 3 letters: somebody not telling the truth is a ***r. last 4 letters: a robot looks huma****.

4:45 am

5 am is night where I live :)

4:46 am

got it! whew, never would have found that! thanks sprite, and gratz on the fireworks!

4:47 am

the kiddos have to be up in 15 minutes anyway...

4:47 am

thanks, and my pleasure! It is a weird one for sure. Result of one of the cool babble rules: when in doubt, try all endings on all possibilities, grin.

4:47 am

must be off, good day to you, Trif, and nice meeting you.

4:47 am

yes, I am learning that. I try to get as far as I can w/out using one of the lists, but it is hard

4:47 am

which I am sure you knew....

4:48 am

lol I am from before all lists. I learned to play the hard way, which makes it easier now, I think.

4:49 am

i used a list and a word helper site yesterday, and eventually it just wasn't fun at all, swapping between screens, getting all the words basically handed to me...more fun to slog through, I think

4:50 am

I agree Tri, that's not much fun.

4:50 am

201 again today?

4:50 am

Morning carlee

4:50 am

hi lori... snow yet?

4:50 am

but then again - fireworks!

4:51 am

Congratulations Tri!

4:51 am

no, no, lori, yesterday, not today!

4:51 am

carlee, we're under a winter storm watch for this eve, tomorrow. Gross.

4:51 am

hope to get them today, but one never know

4:52 am

I gotta' throw some wood in the basement before it starts. Blah, winter sucks

4:52 am

I've been awake off and on allnite..the wind...no snow overnight...wrong direction for the wind..but the wind is howling out there..i HATE the wind

4:52 am

lol Tri, congratulations for yesterday then! I Babbled for almost a year with no stats panel etc. It helped my Babbling a kazillion per cent

4:53 am

Wind is the norm here. We only notice if it's not blowing.

163

brain melting

4:54 am

i rearranged my room and lowered my bed JUST so I wouldn't hear it so much as I used to

4:54 am

ugh, Lori, the very idea! lol....loooooove my tile stats!

4:54 am

carl, have you tried the soft ear plug things? did my dh no end of good with his sleeping

4:54 am

Start getting ready to pay for the privilege, Trif.

4:54 am

tri.....then u better go pro... cus u gonna lose ur tile stats soon

4:55 am

I have kids... no ear plugs

4:55 am

i know...extortion!

4:55 am

snap haz

4:56 am

white noise machine might work too...

4:56 am

it only happens a few nite a year..i can live...

4:57 am

Okay kids, spawnling time it is. BBL

4:57 am

**sneezing fit**

4:57 am

later LP

4:57 am

Well, time I was doing something useful. Back later.

4:58 am

oooh - i just entered a typo by mistake, and it turned out to be a word off the list~ fun fun fun

4:58 am

bye haz

4:58 am

bye!

5:01 am

so where u from tri?

5:01 am

boston - you?

5:02 am

Sarnia ON...is about 2 hours N of detroit as the crow flies

5:03 am

2 hours distance is necessary from detroit. Sorry, but I just can't stand the place....ON is meant to be beautiful though, yes?

5:03 am

good morning beautiful babblers... happy babbling

5:03 am

morning!

5:04 am

depends on the area..this is petrochemical industry here...oil first discovered in NA about 20 mi from this town....and our proximity to the great lakes....means here is where it was refined

5:04 am

hi oodle

5:04 am

I try never to fly with the crows... it is against my religion....

5:05 am

i rather like crows... probably cus everyone hates them

5:05 am

small ravens...

5:06 am

my dad used to live near a refinery in phllly, and I loved watching it out the window - always workers scooting about, doing all sorts....totally, totally fascinating to me as a child....ahhh, the days before cable!

5:06 am

don't like them cause they wake me up in the morning in the summer... what I sound they make

5:07 am

the alarm just went off - time to warm up the cattle prod to get the 12 yo princess out of her crypt

5:07 am

i like driving through the refineries at night...all the lights..looks like a futuristic city

5:08 am

and what would people do if you didn't have puters, electricity and such

i would live in the woods and carve wooden idols and sell them to homeless people

5:08 am

that sounds like....camping

i got my eagle scout badge

5:09 am

I would listen carefully to determine if I could hear a tree fall

5:09 am

it is so cold out this morning! I am so conflicted...want to warm up the car for the kiddos, so they don't freeze waiting for the bus, but that means idling the engine, which is SO BAD for the planet....

5:09 am

my daughter has her LBP....( girl guide equivalent)

5:09 am

and homeless people have money?

i'm a good salesman :)

5:10 am

uh

it was supposed to be funny

5:14 am

i think the names of the two swans from swan lake are in the the grid today...not for points, but there, still.

5:15 am

5:30 am

nice idea josh...

5:30 am

oh, good idea!

5:31 am

My daughter did volunteer work... local and international charities... did about 100 hours over 3 years ( she's 12 now)

5:31 am

he is looking at either making a prayer labyrinth for a local church, or a garden patio renovation for a local theater

5:31 am

( the requirements are diff...but ideas the same)

5:31 am

good GAWD carlee, that's great! and here I can't get mine out of bed without drama!

it's difficult to keep a 16/17 year old boy focused on a project like that

5:31 am

idea's*

5:32 am

my son has the attention span of a goldfish:/

5:32 am

she likes to be busy.../ involved

5:33 am

unless..let me guess...guitar hero crossy?..then hour upon hour upon hour....or for my son...when younger..lego..HOURS

i'm sure it was hard for my father to keep me focused as well

5:34 am

nope carlee,the only computer/console games we let him play are brain builders..though he did do lots of leggo up till 2 years ago or so

5:35 am

7:57 am

me too - four of them are ze, and one zo - is that what you have?

7:57 am

Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.

have only two of them here :(

7:57 am

very true BR

7:57 am

indeed br

7:57 am

4 ze and 2 zo

5

8:01 am

I am missing one of the ze

8:02 am

peri, do you have one that rhymes with a loan from a bank?

8:02 am

deep poem for the day....

8:02 am

I don't think so

8:02 am

When last comes to last, I have little power: I am merely an urn. I hold the bone-sap of myself, and watch the marrow burn. When last comes to last I have little strength: I am only a tool. I work its work; and in it hands I am the fool. When last comes to last, I have little life. I am simply a deed: an action done while courage holds: a seed.

have the z's now ... couple of starnge ones

8:03 am

wow, crossy.. ty for that

(getting a pot of soil to plant crossy in)

8:03 am

funny, cross! mind if i share that story on a list for bookdealers?

8:16 am

That's cool, Crossy. I guess he felt he had better live up to his own words.

8:16 am

guess so he even paid for the postage back cause i forgot to send any

in fact, you might get a nice price for that wreck if you tell the story when you sell it, otherwise people will assume he signed it then it gor wrecked

8:17 am

LOL! Damn decent of him.

8:17 am

well he had to go 3 pages in to get a page in good enough shape;)

I've gotten 3 words since I returned. This does not bode well....

10:31 am

where are my last 47 words?

10:32 am

This one may turn in to a list grid.

10:32 am

<-------they're over there, Ata.

10:33 am

And....Fireworks!

10:33 am

but but they aren;t!

10:33 am

*shouts congrats to Trif for fireworks from pb*

10:34 am

happy to clue, if anyone wants one....there are some seriously funky words today!

10:34 am

ve 7 clue I can't find these last three?

10:34 am

Congratulations Trif. Have you been here the whole time?

10:34 am

Come out of PB, Katie, it was a minor infringement and you showed remorse.

10:35 am

Congratulations Tri! Nively done. ***Katie yells awfully loud***

10:35 am

no. I woke up around 4 am, and played for a while, and then poofed to get the fry off to school, and then poofed back in a while ago

10:35 am

wtg trif

10:35 am

TY Haz

10:35 am

ve 7 is the person who doesn't want the bill to pass

10:35 am

ve 7, the person who shoots down a Bill in Congress

10:35 am

That's a relief. I'd hate to think you'd got nothing else done. There's addiction and then there's madness.

10:35 am

oh, wait, no it's not, that's the six...the ve7 is a tiny method of transporting blood

10:36 am

None of us would ever partake that long at a go. No. Really. :)

10:36 am

Crap, I did the exact same thing. Sorry ruru. Haz, can I go to the PB for that?

10:36 am

oh, honey, I crossed that line last week

10:36 am

No, Lori(Canada), what I was I thinking of suggesting such a thing?

10:37 am

It's like talking about you missing plurals. Unlikely or what?

10:37 am

missing plurals? Lori(Canada)?

10:37 am

<-----Lori(Canada) never does that often.....

10:38 am

Your voice is reaching new heights, Ata.

10:38 am

lol

10:38 am

am I turning into Vi?

10:39 am

is Vi very very smug?

10:39 am

finally got the ve whew thanks

10:39 am

No, her problem isn't that of smugness. Her problem (Vi) is not having a note in her head.

10:39 am

is the fi 7 a compound?

10:39 am

but singing anyway

10:40 am

We try not to mention songs when she is around, lest she bursts into song and upsets the neighbourhood dogs.

10:40 am

fi 7? wheee ***slides chat over***

10:40 am

Oh good, we can talk freely about Lori(Canada) now that she has chat slidden over.

10:40 am

I like to sing in my car as no one can hear I can't sing a note either

10:41 am

Hi for a few minutes again!

10:41 am

(Devoutly hoping never to hear Katie and VI singing a duet)

10:41 am

hi MG

10:41 am

Oh it would be bad, really bad. I sing at Chruch as I think you can get forgiven anything there ;-)

10:42 am

No ruru, not a compound

10:42 am

That happens to be the last word I found before going back to housework... the fi7, I mean.

10:42 am

And they're wondering why church attendance is going down....

10:42 am

***glad nothing mean was said in my absence***

10:42 am

I think the fi 7 has to do with leaves, but I am not sure

10:42 am

We used hand signals, Lori.

10:42 am

nothing much, anyway

10:42 am

Lol Haz......I'm refered to as one of the young ones, it's great for the ego

10:43 am

oops nope -it has to do with paternity

10:43 am

It's like an association, if 'f' was in front of it one would think TV networks.

10:43 am

It must be!

10:43 am

lol katie, I can't sing either. When the kids were little I used to sing them a lullaby, I'm sure they used to pretend to be asleep so I'd stop

10:43 am

good clue!

10:44 am

One more 7. ***getting paranoid, keeps a close eye on the back stabbing***

10:44 am

which one lori?

10:44 am

Thanks Tri. Which one what?

10:44 am

I need 3 7's, so I guess I'm safe from the knawing paranoia.

10:45 am

***casts a suspicious look at Haz***

10:45 am

Waiting for that slide thing with chat.

10:45 am

Can anyone clue the en's?

10:46 am

10:46 am

12:44 pm

Hah! Found my last 2 f's

12:45 pm

puter = love :D

12:45 pm

Silly daughter has managed to get a virus on her laptop.

12:45 pm

'Is that my problem?' should have been my response, shouldn't it?

12:45 pm

still not seeing that ae -- only one vowel to add and I tried all possible rearrangements of the jungle king

12:46 pm

how annoying of her!

12:46 pm

I said roaring animal spelt wrong..... (first vowel)

12:46 pm

cybernan, I clued it at 12.44 as well.

12:46 pm

Be firm Haz. Tell her no in the future.

12:47 pm

Hi folks! Ni5, please?

12:47 pm

Very annoying, Ata. I must have gone wrong somewhere.

12:47 pm

Besides, that could open up a line of communication with her, and nothing good could come from that.

12:47 pm

no gruel for her tonight!

12:47 pm

ni5 - is how Irish Niamh is pronounced?

12:47 pm

ni + Adam's mate

12:48 pm

ty haz

12:48 pm

Thanks you, thanks you!

12:48 pm

You're right. Gruel to be on half-rations until she learns to toe the line.

12:48 pm

You're welcome.

12:49 pm

still can't get the ae7--tried every combo I could think of

12:49 pm

TY my last N, that warrents a coffee BBS

12:49 pm

ae 7 - add the a to eo 6/18

12:50 pm

ae7 - ae plus first two letters of Dickens' boy hero, Master Twist (or Miss Oyl), finish with Scots John, or Sir *** McKellan.

12:50 pm

don't have that one

12:50 pm

You will when you get ae7....

12:51 pm

got it ty

12:51 pm

ae and eo - type of Greek architecture

12:51 pm

The second te5/10?

12:51 pm

wow, where do they come up with these

12:51 pm

The dictionary

12:51 pm

the dictionary *innocent*

12:52 pm

te5/10 - te plus the cut of meat cut off.

12:52 pm

I know that--haha, but do they read it straight through

12:52 pm

I think they have an electronic version

12:52 pm

Who is they?

12:53 pm

The cut of meat cut off?

12:53 pm

FM

12:53 pm

It's three letters of a cut of meat, as in lo** of pork.

12:53 pm

she's in league with DrG

12:54 pm

Ah, thanks!

12:54 pm

nan says the d's are normal, but I'm not so sure.....

12:54 pm

That's true, Ata, they're very friendly.

12:55 pm

it's suspicious

12:56 pm

*!* ta da *!*

12:56 pm

need some clues lori?

12:56 pm

Very. Where's Al Fayed, he'd soon sniff out a conspiracy.

12:56 pm

Congratulations cybernan.

12:56 pm

Congratulations nan?

12:56 pm

OK, off with me except random lurking; stuff's on TV. Yay Nan, and have fun all!

12:56 pm

he'd create one if there wasn't one

12:56 pm

ty

12:56 pm

He has a fertile imagination.

12:57 pm

like the valley of the Nile

12:57 pm

Very appropriate!

12:58 pm

anyone want clues before I leave?

12:58 pm

I thought so. Maybe FM is a camel

12:58 pm

any clue for the po6 ?

12:58 pm

Oh, the d's are normal. Go figure.

12:59 pm

No, she's tall, but not that tall.

12:59 pm

3 aren't. THe ones I haven't got

12:59 pm

a small camel then

12:59 pm

a camelette

12:59 pm

po 6: cooking vessel + high pt tile + hesitation syllable

12:59 pm

po6 - combine three letters of a cooking utensil with three letters at the beginning of nothing (look at point value)

1:00 pm

Glad I didn't open the list, 'cuz these last couple have been fish worthy....

1:00 pm

thanks haz...got it

1:01 pm

Point total please?

1:01 pm

You're welcome.

1:01 pm

2407

1:01 pm

nm, finished with a stoopid li 5/16

1:01 pm

Thanks nan!

1:01 pm

congrats lori -- listless?

1:02 pm

YAY Lorikins!

1:02 pm

Well done Lori(Canada)!

1:02 pm

Yep, missed some extensions and all were normal but that li 5

1:02 pm

po6 I still can't get

1:02 pm

I just giggle every time I see Lori(Canada)

1:02 pm

well done!

1:03 pm

po6 - three letters for illegal drug, three letters at the start of a word that means nothing, nil.

1:04 pm

We're not laughing AT you, Lori, we're laughing with you!

1:04 pm

on my way -- back at the flip :)

1:05 pm

we're laughing in shared conspiracy!

1:05 pm

Thanks for all the help everyone, I have to toddle along. Real life is annoying. have a great day all!

1:05 pm

Bye cybernan!

1:05 pm

Have a good day, Lori and see you tomorrow.

1:05 pm

***You 2 reprobates are fibbing*** :D Laters!

1:06 pm

you are a liar as well now, haz :P

1:06 pm

I am?

1:07 pm

she says we're fibbing!

1:07 pm

So you think she's talking about me being a reprobate. Surely this cannot be!

1:08 pm

outrageous, isn't it!

1:08 pm

Completely.

1:09 pm

Have you been outside much today? It's getting cold!

1:10 pm

Hobbit and I went for a 2 hour walk along the beach earlier - at Margate which gets the full force of the winds off the North Sea - I had to wear 2 fleeces, hat and scarf, and it must have been about -10C including windchill, and SO windy

1:10 pm

but after the first shock, it was glorious. sunny, bright, the beach was empty

1:10 pm

I came back, and after a while had to dive under my duvet for 2 hours because I was shivering so much!

1:10 pm

Yes, it was definitely scarf and mittens weather. But bracing, very bracing.

1:11 pm

it was gloriously bracing. it was one of the nicest walks with hobbit I've ever had. But blooming heck, it *was* cold

1:12 pm

Have you got your pricing sorted out yet for the picture?

1:13 pm

*mutter mutter*

hello my dawlings

1:13 pm

Hello nance.

1:13 pm

Does this muttering mean that you've not proceeded?

1:13 pm

the beach today: http://tinyurl.com/6fpbjf you can see the wind from hobbit's ears!

hey hazzer

1:14 pm

stop changing the subject Ata

1:15 pm

Hi Nance

hey lynx

1:15 pm

I was actually just trying to think how to phrase the email to the girl who wants it!

1:17 pm

I'm watching the video - she had such fun!

1:17 pm

oh she did! we played with that coconut for about half an hour!

1:18 pm

Dear Friend, you ordered this picture. That will be £150 please.

1:18 pm

I've got as far as "Dear Avara," LOL

1:18 pm

I take it that the coconut was from other climes. It doesn't look like many coconuts would grow in such a bracing climate!

1:19 pm

no idea where the coconut came from! a ship, I guess

1:19 pm

Okay, Dear Avara, you ordered this picture, It took me a long time to do it, it's very good and I'd like £150 please.

1:20 pm

looool *copies* :P or not

1:23 pm

then after the beach, I went to Aldi, which was a rather strange experience

1:24 pm

We don't have Aldi. You'll need to tell me about it. Is it as ev4 as Tesco?

1:25 pm

it's - odd. it's all strange brands and discount stuff, my mother informed me recently that it was a brilliant place so I thought I'd have to go and look. About 1/2 of it was Christmas chocolates and sweets

1:26 pm

Is it the same as Lidl? I've never been in it but reports say that it varies from week to week in what it has to offer.

be back later - my 3 year old grandson and I are going to go play an online bubblez game - y'all be sweet

1:27 pm

We'll be good, nance. Let him win, won't you?

you betcha

1:28 pm

You are a good grandmother.

1:28 pm

*tiptoes into chog and pokes Haz and Ata, then takes off for dear life*

1:28 pm

The cheek of that EvaN!

1:28 pm

Aldo is very very very cheap, did I mention cheap? You don't get your usual brands. Their chocolate is scrumptious. What is the best are their weekly specials, you can get some amazing deals in kitchenware etc if you are fast off the mark

1:29 pm

bye Nance, hi Eva

1:29 pm

Get back here, young woman and explain yourself.

1:29 pm

yes, like Lidl. But I did get a few really nice things - a fillet of hot smoked salmon for £1.50ish and a jar of porcini and shiitake mushrooms for the same

1:30 pm

*draws circles on floor with toe* ummm....see....its friday and ive gone a wee bit batty...

1:30 pm

And that's your excuse? What would happen if everyone went batty on a Friday?

1:31 pm

the rest of you are batty all week long. i figured i earned a day...

1:31 pm

I'm shocked. My mouth is agape.

1:31 pm

*notices haz doesnt actually ARGUE the point*

1:32 pm

We are eminently sensible at all times. Ask anyone.

1:32 pm

well now. who can i ask that isnt betty themselves, hrm?

1:32 pm

I'm just glad FM isn't here to witness this. But it will be going onto your report.

1:33 pm

just not Lori(Canada)

1:33 pm

eh, its her fault, anyway.

1:33 pm

Betty? When did we get a Betty Babbler?

1:33 pm

betty...batty...its all the same!

1:34 pm

So, apart from it being Friday, why the high spirits?

1:35 pm

vodka, normally

1:35 pm

work is almost over, only working 3 days next week (yay Thanksgiving!), got a happy hour after work, and going shopping with a friend...then sushi + chick flicks!

1:36 pm

I can see why you're cheerful!

1:36 pm

*wants sushi. NOW.*

1:36 pm

im really just a bit loopy in general this week, but especially so today...

1:36 pm

i had sushi for lunch one day last week...then again yesterday + dinner tonight! i heart me some sushi. :)

1:37 pm

Are you getting to go home to the parents for Thanksgiving?

1:37 pm

we are going to Chris's parents house this year...

1:38 pm

Is that good or bad?

1:39 pm

its fine. we went to my parents last year...plus, his parents are closer... my brother + his wife (and their 3 kids) are doing their own thanksgiving, so my parents are actually looking forward to a stress-free thanksgiving...

1:39 pm

why does my cat have an ice cold nose?

1:40 pm

That's good - everybody's happy.

1:40 pm

I don't know, Ata. Has she been sleeping in the shed as I advised?

1:40 pm

It's the spawn of satan?

1:40 pm

I think that's quite likely, tor

1:41 pm

Hello torgone.

1:41 pm

talking of that, did you watch Apparitions last night, Haz?

1:41 pm

we manage to get to both families on christmas, so we have been alternating thanksgivings....so far, its worked out great!

1:42 pm

No, didn't watch Apparitions, but did watch a programme about people with pets needing special care. Mind boggling!

1:42 pm

I refused to watch that!

1:42 pm

Apparitions is *so* scary

1:43 pm

It's good that you've got an arrangement sorted out, EvaN that keeps everyone happy. Magazine problem pages always have Christmas scenarios of families falling out over who's going to cook the turkey this year or how to stop the Mother in Law arriving for the duration.

1:44 pm

Hello everyone... I actually have time to talk tonight. I still have 60 words to find, but the night is mine own !

1:44 pm

hi karys!

1:45 pm

Hello Karys! It's nice when you can get to a computer without other people jumping in in front of you.

1:46 pm

It's the feeding and the general wanting that I usually suffer from, but hubby just on his way out, youngest left home last week and ....here I am !!

1:47 pm

Good for you!

1:48 pm

Ashlee Simpson named her son Bronx Mowgli. Is that almost as bad as Princess Tiiaammaiaiammi?

1:48 pm

Hve you had any good 'foodie' things recently Haz ?

1:48 pm

eloi

1:48 pm

Well, funny you should mention that, Karys. I bought some balsamic vinegar today - orange, chocolate and cinnamon. It sounds strange but tastes fantastic!

1:49 pm

Oh dear... these poor children have to grow up at some point !

1:49 pm

..is not a word ..

1:49 pm

my brothers family go to his wifes house on christmas eve (thats when they celebrate anyway, for some reason) then we do christmas morning at chris's house (while my brothers family have their own christmas in the morning + my parents have their own private christmas) then we ALL head down to my parents around dinnertime...kids get put down right after dinner + we open gifts all evening!

1:49 pm

Bronx Mowgli. Was she still recovering from gas and air?

1:49 pm

AAAhhh ???....what will you serve it with, do you think ?

1:49 pm

I dread to think

1:50 pm

That sounds all very good and civilised there EvaN

1:51 pm

The Oil and Vinegar people recommend serving it with crepes, I'm thinking along the lines of a chocolate mousse with a side serving of oranges soaked in the vinegar for a while. Or I'll maybe just take it a spoonful at a time.

1:51 pm

This year, for the first time ever, I am going out on Christmas Eve for a meal.

1:51 pm

Where is the Christmas Eve meal?

1:51 pm

You name your kid Bronx Mowgli, you might as well set the therapy appointments now ..

1:52 pm

Would like to try it with the crepes. I have just bought an electric waffle maker.

1:53 pm

Out at a fairly local pub, where they actually really cook the meals. They only have a 'specials' board, and when it's gone, it's gone !

1:53 pm

Maybe they got the idea from the Beckhams with Brooklyn.

1:53 pm

electric waffle makers are *fab*

1:53 pm

They are Ata, they are.

1:53 pm

bronx I could almost live with. but MOWGLI?

1:54 pm

That's good, Karys. It'll be much better than a hotel churning out Christmas stuff like a conveyor belt.

1:54 pm

Perhaps they want to get back to their roots !

1:55 pm

Precisely Haz, it's the only reason I would go on such a night. I am usually cooking hot roast pork sandwiches for all and sundry.

1:56 pm

im kinda ok with "Bronx" as a name.... but Mowgli....were they addicted to the Jungle Book?

1:56 pm

My youngest said it was time I did something different now I don't have to be here 24/7 for Sandra or anyone else for that matter !

1:56 pm

We had a local documentary about a large hotel in Belfast, showing behind the scenes of the kitchen and how they cater for huge numbers. It wasn't very appetising.

1:57 pm

hello

1:58 pm

I can imagine. We want to do somerthing for Hubby's retirement in March and I really want to have a'la carte rather than something we have to choose in advance, or from a reduced menu.

1:58 pm

Hello MLFAN

1:58 pm

hello Karys

1:58 pm

Are you both looking forward to his retirement? I can imagine you wanting to do some more travelling.

1:58 pm

Hello ML.

1:59 pm

Hello Haz

1:59 pm

Absolutely !!!!... We can't wait, there is so much we want to do. Next year is fairly booked with holoidays and such.

2:00 pm

Where will you be heading?

2:01 pm

Should the AL words be this hard?lol

2:02 pm

Lanzarote in January, because He and friends of ours have not yet been and I have, so I want them to see what I have experienced. Vienna, Budapest and ????, in May, Corfu to make up for the aborted trip in September when XL crashed, then Florida for the Disney etc, experience for grandson.

2:03 pm

why is this grid so difficult. The "s" doesn't help much

2:03 pm

I didn't find it the easiest either bichon.

2:03 pm

Sounds great! I've been to Vienna, it's very beautiful although it was the coldest I've ever been in my life - February a couple of years ago;

2:03 pm

bichon certainly not where its located its not much help thats for sure

2:04 pm

AL 6 clue please

2:04 pm

Hopefully it could be a little warmer in May ?

2:04 pm

And I was in Corfu so many years ago that Kavos at that time was labelled as a small, quiet village. Apparently it's party city now!

2:04 pm

Sorry don't have it yet ML

2:05 pm

It's bound to be warmer, Karys, although when we were in Poland in May, it wasn't as warm as I had expected.

2:05 pm

al6 -- beer + french wine

2:05 pm

Never go any further south than Corfu town Haz !

2:05 pm

hello all -- just finished while lurking

2:05 pm

al6 - a , a make of jeans or a priestly tribe, finish with a consonant.

2:21 pm

interesting icon haz

2:21 pm

ap5 - sleep disorder

2:21 pm

She was quite a woman!

2:21 pm

indeed

2:21 pm

ty Haz

2:21 pm

duhhh

2:22 pm

A words done phew

2:22 pm

Haz, the lady survived 2 ship sinkings?

2:23 pm

very pleased you've got her as an icon

2:24 pm

Yes, bichon, she was very fortunate.

2:24 pm

Sorry, I was answering the phone, hence the delay in responding.

2:25 pm

bichon, if you're interested, google her to find out more about her.

2:25 pm

Haz i think the last known survivor of the titanic died just a few yrs ago

2:26 pm

No, there's still a survivor, Milvina Dean who was a baby of 10 weeks when the ship sank.

2:26 pm

I think I will go to the list now, if you would all excuse me for a while, I hope to return all done !

2:26 pm

She was in the news recently because she was selling some of her artefacts to pay for nursing home fees.

2:27 pm

WOW kinda sad huh

2:28 pm

But the good thing was that someone stepped in and paid her fees.

2:28 pm

good

2:28 pm

That is so awesome!

2:28 pm

Harland and Woolf should have done!

2:29 pm

Harland and Wolff is practically closed. The White Star Line paid out millions already!

2:30 pm

do they still own the shipyards? Isn't H&W where the 2 huge cranes are?

ok, im done for now, im gonna do some other stuff... c ya l8r ppl!

2:31 pm

Yes, Harland and Wolff owns the shipyard, and Samson and Goliath are still there. But no ships have been built for years. They were working on oil rigs but that has dried up as well.

2:31 pm

those are an amazing sight

2:32 pm

They are. My sister worked in the shipyard for a short period (as a temp) and was given the chance to go up into one of them.

2:32 pm

100 words down woohooo

2:32 pm

i am out poof

2:33 pm

Hello, Good People!

2:33 pm

Hello Vicuna!

2:34 pm

hi Vi!

2:34 pm

What joy today?

2:34 pm

There would be more joy today if Ata would set a price for her work. Is it done, Ata?

2:34 pm

Hello everyone. This is my first chance today to see the grid. How is it?

2:35 pm

WHat, you haven't yet, Ata?

2:35 pm

*mutter mutter* LOL

2:35 pm

Hello, Scrabbler.

2:35 pm

Hello Scrabbler - quite an entertaining grid.

2:35 pm

Come on, woman, get to business! lol

2:35 pm

Hm, will the grid entertain me, or will I entertain it?

2:35 pm

I've even dictated the e-mail, Vi, but she's being very provoking.

2:36 pm

people keep telling me different prices :P

2:36 pm

So, go for the highest.

2:36 pm

Well pick the highest and get moving! =D

2:37 pm

You see? Vi and I can't both be wrong.

2:37 pm

I think £350 is a bit much for a student to pay!

2:37 pm

lol. Well, maybe... So then Pick the middlingest and get moving!

2:37 pm

What was the lowest estimate?

2:37 pm

$100 (~£70)

2:38 pm

Well, that's far too low.

2:38 pm

see??!

2:39 pm

Poor Ata. It's always fun getting money paid in, but it's never fun having to deal with it.

2:39 pm

Try between £150 and £200. It was a lot of work!

2:40 pm

exactly, stress stress. I know I'll say £150, but say if she truly can't afford it, to let me know what she can afford?

2:40 pm

No, let her pay in instalments. Post-dated cheques.

2:40 pm

Hmmm.... DO you trust her?

2:41 pm

oh yes

2:41 pm

And to avoid the stress in future, work out an estimate ahead of time so that you both know what's expected.

2:42 pm

well to be fair, she just saw the completed thing and asked me if she could buy it, so there wasn't any expectations of her buying it

2:42 pm

Haz is right, you should make a pricing structure for yourself so you can be consistent and feel resonable about what you're asking.

2:42 pm

I've got one! I still cringe :P

2:42 pm

Haz is right. How I love those words.

2:43 pm

You can adjust it, of course, silly.

2:43 pm

It has a nice ring to it, doesn't it.

2:43 pm

Knotwork: A6 (approx 4" x 6"): $30 A5 (approx 6" x 8"): $50 A4 (approx 8" x 12"): $100 A3 (approx 12" x 16"): $150 upwards

2:43 pm

It does. I never tire of it.

2:44 pm

You can base it on whatever makes the most sense to you: size, complexity, time spent on it...

2:44 pm

And adjust it as you go in light of other information, such as what people are evidently willing to pay, what other people with comparable work are charging, how fabulously in demand you are, etc...

2:45 pm

that was what I came up last year based on random guesses and other people's work etc

2:45 pm

And have people been happy to pay those prices? Nobody fainting or stammering their apologies for having wasted your time?

2:45 pm

Okay, so I think we're in the realm of "upwards" here! lol

2:46 pm

no-one's complained as yet!

2:46 pm

Then nudge those prices up a bit!

2:46 pm

Well, there you are. You're probably underestimating yourself badly.

2:47 pm

oh Vi, you'll love this (changing the subject slightly) there's a contest on deviantart at the moment - making a quick drawing of something blindfolded

2:47 pm

(Okay, I'm really not one to talk, here. I am fairly frequently told my prices are very low, but I hate the idea of only rich people being able to afford my stuff. And I'm lucky. I don't have to get top dollar to put food on the table.)

2:47 pm

the results are quite hysterical

2:47 pm

mine: http://tinyurl.com/5n5szc

2:48 pm

(my situation too)

2:48 pm

Sounds like a party game.

2:49 pm

Gosh, I'd be pleased to produce that without blindfold!

2:49 pm

lol. The bunnies quite good, really!

2:49 pm

And I love the "border of beautiful knotwork."

2:49 pm

*bunny's

2:49 pm

You must harden your artistic hearts and think of your children or your dog being without gruel if you don't charge properly.

2:49 pm

Gosh, I'm afraid I can no longer show my face here. Goodbye forever, my firends.

2:50 pm

I was quite pleased with the bunny!

2:50 pm

*friends. Whatever.

2:50 pm

there was meant to be a mole too, but it vanished into the border

2:50 pm

Forsake not your firends!

2:51 pm

or your fiends

2:51 pm

There we go...all done !!!

2:51 pm

Well, if my firends still want me after the terrifying fiasco of the bunnies and the apostrophe, I'll be grateful to stay.

2:51 pm

Yay for Karys!

2:51 pm

Ata is getting dangerously close to PB territory.

2:51 pm

Well done Karys!

2:51 pm

ooooo! my last F! ty!

2:51 pm

Ty...ty...

2:52 pm

Heh, I didn't have that. Thanks Ata and Haz.

2:52 pm

We'll forgive you, Vicuna. We know that you know what was wrong.

2:52 pm

Last F? Gosh, I'm way behind today. Not even halfway yet. Yikes!

2:53 pm

My redundant apostrophe of the day - a sign on a stall - Watche's for sale.

2:53 pm

LOL

2:53 pm

GAH!!

2:53 pm

Thank you, oh most Merciful Haz.

2:53 pm

I had to force myself to keep walking.

2:53 pm

how annoying

2:54 pm

Did you not try to remove it then ?

2:54 pm

That's kind of bizarre, actually. I'm not sure I've ever seen one with the e AND the '.

2:54 pm

Never leave the house without an extra-large can of correction fluid!

2:54 pm

It was done in permanent ink and the stallholder was standing there. She didn't look like she would care.

2:55 pm

that's almost worse, that she wouldn't care

2:55 pm

I like the sandwich boards outside shops done in chalk. They're easy to correct.

2:55 pm

Best leave well alone then

2:56 pm

I thought so, Karys. No point being right if you're left with a black eye for your trouble.

2:57 pm

Sometimes smugness is its own reward.

2:57 pm

Ata would know about that.

2:57 pm

black eyes?

2:57 pm

Indeed.

2:57 pm

Eyes glowing with her inner smugitude.

2:57 pm

No, smugness. You're the world expert, don't forget.

2:58 pm

of course

2:58 pm

who else's dog got their own coconut to play with today? *smug*

2:58 pm

Not mine, anyway.

2:59 pm

Funnily enough, I was thinking how good it was that you had found an eco-friendly toy for free.

2:59 pm

You may just have helped to save the planet, Ata.

2:59 pm

coconuts are fantastic dog toys!

2:59 pm

about a year ago, hobbit found another one on the beach, insisted on bringing it home, and then cuddled it to her for the rest of the day like a small puppy

3:00 pm

A small lethargic puppy.

3:00 pm

Raw potatoes aren't! There was a lovely little Schnauzer had to be put to sleep last week because of eating one.

3:00 pm

Just as a 'bye the way'....we have a fairly large traffic island in the centre of what is still called 'The Village' here, and at the moment it is sporting the smallest, thinnest little Christmas tree you ever did see. We used to have quite a magnificent affair provided by the Council, but they don't anymore, and where this poor little thing has come from remains to be seen....it is such a sad little thing, it doesn't even have a single light up til now.

3:00 pm

With a really thick skull.

3:00 pm

oh no!! poor pup!

3:01 pm

Oh gosh, I had no idea! Maybe I'll have to stop giving out raw potatoes to all the neighborhood puppies!

3:01 pm

Husband and the other vet who were working with it were really upset - it had been so pleasant to work with but it was hopeless.

3:01 pm

That is sad Haz...

3:02 pm

That really is too bad.

3:02 pm

The potato had lodged further down in the trachea, it was removed but the lungs were badly affected.

3:02 pm

so sad :(

3:03 pm

So it wasn't that it was poisonous, it was the choking?

3:03 pm

That was my next question, was it something in the potato that is bad for dogs, or because of the breaking of it ?

3:03 pm

Husband doesn't usually get so attached but he and the other vet were draining fluid every four hours and the dog just let them get on with things. Annie, the other vet, was in tears when she had to put him down.

3:04 pm

potatoes do have poisons in, but isn't that when they go green? potatoes are from the same family as deadly nightshade etc

3:04 pm

poor darling :(

3:04 pm

The potato had probably been there for a few days and had caused ulceration or a tear.

3:04 pm

The family must be so upset.

3:05 pm

Yes, they are, and tomatoes are too. But you never know when things that are okay for humans are poisonous for dogs. At least, I never now. There are some unexpected ones.

3:05 pm

know.

3:05 pm

It was very sad. The husband was a doctor and knew that it wasn't going to be possible to pull the dog through - his wife found it hard to come to terms with having to make the decision and was very distressed.

3:06 pm

how did the poor thing manage to get a potato down its windpipe and have no-one notice?!

3:06 pm

Why do these things seem so much worse at this time of the year.

3:06 pm

=(

3:07 pm

I think they may suspected that it had swallowed something, but only got worried when it was continually sick - classic foreign body.

3:07 pm

:(

3:07 pm

On the bright side, the dog warden landed two abandoned kittens into the surgery yesterday. They were rehomed today.

3:08 pm

rehomed? That's a fabulous bit of coinage for such a language stickler as yourself, Haz!

3:08 pm

The receptionists are very cunning. They put them in a large cage with all sorts of toys in the reception area and wait for the softhearted people to arrive.

3:08 pm

sneaky!

3:09 pm

re-homed. I am aghast at myself. It's the excitement of the kittens being re-homed.

3:09 pm

Bother. Time to run some errands. See you later, folks.

3:10 pm

Now that is lovely, and just right for Christmas. Did they go togther ?

3:10 pm

bored now, going to the list for my last 13!

3:10 pm

See you later, Vicuna.

3:10 pm

bye Vicuna

3:10 pm

Yes, Karys, both to the same home. They were very cute, about 8 weeks old.

3:11 pm

That home will be having a fun time then !!

3:11 pm

I'm sure they will. Spangle appreciated me hardening my heart.

3:11 pm

They certainly do race around a lot at that age !

3:12 pm

perfect for Christmas chaos!

3:12 pm

Yes, thay may not have had the same appeal for Spangle.

3:13 pm

No, she's not very cat attuned.

3:13 pm

Please excuse typos....keyboard only working in a strange position !

3:14 pm

You in the strange position or the keyboard?

3:14 pm

Even the most laid back dog wpould find it hard to share a home with 2 eight week old kittens I would think !

3:15 pm

Mostly just the keyboard Haz !

3:15 pm

Hello, all!

3:16 pm

Hello Jellen.

3:16 pm

Hello Jellen

3:20 pm

3:20 pm

Excellent!

3:20 pm

hugs and kisses, HAZ!!! Thank you!

3:20 pm

TY, Haz

3:21 pm

You're welcome.

3:21 pm

Yippeeeee dawger!

3:21 pm

Congratulations!

3:22 pm

Yay, lbd!!!

3:23 pm

3:23 pm

hmmm, likety's lists don't even have that word...

3:25 pm

Is the ae7 related to the ae6?

3:25 pm

No, it's related to eo6 if that's any help.

3:26 pm

I am losing consciousness and must take a nap before my cranium damages the keyboard. BBL.

3:26 pm

enjoy your nap, scrabs

3:26 pm

See you later, Scrabbler.

3:27 pm

Thanks, Haz, I'll work on that for a while...

3:27 pm

email sent!

3:27 pm

Good for you, Ata.

3:28 pm

now I just won't be able to open her reply :P

3:29 pm

Thanks, Haz. Got both words.

3:29 pm

You're welcome, Jellen.

3:29 pm

You never know, she may have been expecting to pay more.

3:30 pm

true!

3:36 pm

I wish I had some chocolate

3:37 pm

No hidden stash anywhere?

3:37 pm

I wish I could share some of ours...we hit the after-Halloween candy sales.

3:37 pm

nope. except in the christmas presents boxes!

3:37 pm

Are they wrapped up?

3:38 pm

Not high-quality chocolate, but plenty of it!

3:38 pm

nope *grin*

3:38 pm

You maybe owe it to people to test it.

3:39 pm

Temptation comes in the form of Haz....beware!

3:39 pm

You'd hate to pass on a bad batch.

3:40 pm

very good point. maybe I'd better go and do that. and wash out my brushes, then toddle off for the evening and pass out in a chocolate stupor!

3:40 pm

That sounds on a par with the evening EvaN had talked about earlier.

3:41 pm

that's true!

3:42 pm

fireworks

3:42 pm

*wonders off to find chocolate* *poof*

3:42 pm

Congratulations!

3:42 pm

Yay, wvteach!!!

3:42 pm

Bye Ata!

3:42 pm

Bye, Ata...

3:43 pm

I should go and get ready for some concentrated crime solving/viewing. I know exactly where to find chocolate...

3:43 pm

Which crime viewing, Haz?

3:44 pm

Law and Order SVU.

3:44 pm

Ah, I watch it myself...enjoy!

3:45 pm

I will - I like the way the stories unfold.

3:45 pm

So, off I go. Have a good day all.

3:45 pm

Bye!

3:45 pm

yw bich

6:46 pm

hi ruru :0)

6:46 pm

sleep ap*** is a serious illness

6:46 pm

then add consonant to end of that for the 6

6:46 pm

I think I'm sleeping now! thx!

6:47 pm

Well, the last heartworm treatment seems to have left her none the worse for the wear, but her skin is sitll bad--no longer open sores and the like, but she has this rust color on her. The vet said she tested neg for mange, and only had some yeast but she doesn't have fleas, but the rust color is disconcerting....

6:47 pm

is it maybe a side effect thast will pass?

6:47 pm

yw mrae

6:47 pm

a belated thanks, ruru, for that odd et

6:47 pm

give her vitamins pam

6:47 pm

pam....did u see the fireworks in dubai whilst u there in UAE? :)

6:48 pm

LOl, no, carlee

6:48 pm

She is on NUPRO and gets fish oil, ruru. What other vitamins? Oh, and she gets yogurt in her non-grain food.

6:48 pm

too bad...I heard they were fab for theopenning.... a friend of mine was there..and saw them

6:48 pm

I heard they were great, carlee!!!!!

6:49 pm

gonna need some back ground, pam. what breed? age? what was she doing? how has it progressed and over how long?

6:49 pm

I give ours geri-tabs.. high potentcy vitamins

6:51 pm

4 years, pit bull AM-Bull mix. She is a cruelty rescue. Advanced HW. I have been fostering since July. When on antibiotics, it is better, she was treated for a staph infection... The sores have healed, but not the orangey-glow... Vet that is treating the HW want to wait before re-introducing antibiotics but thinks maybe a long-term dose... I am just not a huge antibiotics person, and she hasn't met "my" vet yet as I am not 100% sure I am dopting

6:51 pm

Thanks, ruru, I will look into those.

6:51 pm

Oh, and jes, I AM 95% sure I want to turn her into a foster failure....

6:52 pm

well, first things i'd be suspicious of in a rescue, pittie, with bad skin: parasites, infection, ALLERGY

6:52 pm

ok i going to pogo unless anyone needs anything else cluing?

6:53 pm

how about zo 5 before you go?

6:53 pm

you've treated for heartworm and mites, i assume you're covering for fleas also? have you looked for internal parasites? sometimes roundworms or tapeworms can lead to poor coat or skin, or even atopic/allergic outbreaks

6:53 pm

Guess she needs to be allergy tested... She was on EVO, I switched her to a single protein food--Natural Balance...

6:53 pm

and pitties are really really common for skin problems. I'd second Ruru's suggestion of fish oil, it's a great mild skin anti-inflammatory.

6:54 pm

Yes, she has no fleas and was treated... They did a stool sample and the like, no parasites...

6:54 pm

add consonant to the zo 4/9

6:54 pm

I bet you didn't keep her on anti-biotics long enough... did you use Keflex or Baytril

6:54 pm

and benedryl. 1 - 2 mg/pound 2 - 3 times daily. antibiotics +/- antifungals as needed to clean up secondary skin infections.

6:54 pm

if using it for antiinflamatory don 't use the liover oil, use the omega stuff

6:54 pm

She gets fish oil with each meal...

6:54 pm

Got it! thx Kaz...guess I didn't monkey quite enough!

6:55 pm

Omega three caps are great.

6:55 pm

if she doesn't respond, you may be looking at skin biopsy or allergy testing, but environmental allergies are really hard to get away from, short of moving.

6:55 pm

bye all..be back for flip if i can stay awake

6:55 pm

She is on benadryl, 50 mg twice a day. I can up that to 3 times.

6:55 pm

what's the ingredient list in the Nutro? (i don't remember off-hand)

6:55 pm

You can move out here pam..

6:55 pm

bye, kaz

6:55 pm

And, I guess I can get her back on the antibiotics..

6:56 pm

you could move here! we have no heart worm, and almost no fleas.

6:56 pm

LOL, ruru

6:56 pm

..but then you'd have to root for the niners..and that makes it a tough call...

6:56 pm

AND i have a house with a fenced yard for sale

6:56 pm

Nutro is a food,,, she is not eating that.

6:56 pm

She eats Natural Balance, which is Venison and Sweet Potato.

6:56 pm

where do you live jesdraggon, in AZ?

6:56 pm

i thought you said that's what she was on? i must have misread. what's she on then?

6:56 pm

LOL, jes

6:57 pm

I use Pinnacle Trout and Potato for our guys.

6:57 pm

She gets the NUPRO as a supplement--the joint formula with glucosamine, chondroitin, and vitamins, and enzymes.

6:57 pm

no allergy problems with that

6:57 pm

nono, az has heartworm AND fleas. i live in eastern washington.

6:57 pm

Her food is Natural Balance Venison and Sweet potato

6:57 pm

oh, yeah, i misread that as nutro, the food :P

6:57 pm

I heard that is a good food, ruru

6:58 pm

Does she wear flip flops?

6:58 pm

yeah it is a great dog food.

6:58 pm

hmm. do you have the food handy? any chance you could give me the whole ingredient list?

6:58 pm

sounds so healthy food y

6:58 pm

that's usually a pretty good brand, though.

6:58 pm

jes, where do you live that you don't have heartworm. It must be a desert

6:59 pm

Sweet Potatoes, Venison, Venison Meal, Potato Protein, Canola Oil, Potato Fiber, Flaxseed, Natural Flavor, Choline Chloride, Natural Mixed Tocopherols, Taurine, Vitamin E Supplement, Iron Proteinate, Zinc Proteinate, Copper Proteinate, Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Potassium Iodide, Thiamine Mononitrate (Vitamin B-1), Manganese Proteinate, Manganous Oxide, Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin A Supplement, Biotin, Calcium Pantothenate, Manganese Sulfate, Sodium Selenite, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B-6), Vitamin B-12 Supplement, Riboflavin (Vitamin B-2), Vitamin D-3 Supplement, Folic Acid.

6:59 pm

are you talking to me or Pam jess

6:59 pm

Thanks so much, jess, ruru, and carlee!

7:00 pm

well, nothing in there that SHOULD be a problem, though they can develop allergies to any protien source eventually. how long has she been on that food?

7:00 pm

looks good except for the canola oil

7:00 pm

She has beeneating it for about a month. Her coat and eyes are better--even though still icky--than when on the EVO

7:00 pm

Is canola bad, ruru?

7:00 pm

bichon-i live in eastern washington. it's a "pine desert". the main thing with heartworm is actually the average temperature; it gets cold enough at night here that the heartworm larvae don't develop enough to be infective by the time the mosquito dies of old age.

7:00 pm

I don't like EVO

7:01 pm

hello again

7:01 pm

well, can take 6-10 weeks to see a real change with diet, so don't get discouraged yet.

7:01 pm

for dogs yes... for humans even more so..

7:01 pm

hi feather :)

7:01 pm

I agree with Jess

7:01 pm

thanks, jes!

7:01 pm

thanks jes, interesting to find out.

7:01 pm

Hi, feather!

7:01 pm

why is it bad?

7:01 pm

I guess I have to be open to the antibiotics again....

7:01 pm

It is not a really good digestable oil

7:02 pm

it's a lovely little area of almost no parasites. we have roundworm, but not hookworm or whipworm, and we have ticks, but not much for fleas.

7:02 pm

the thing with the antibiotics is that she needs to be on them long enough to completely clear up the infection, or it just keeps coming back.

7:02 pm

yeah.. we pulse our male on Keflex 2 weeks on and 1 week off to prevent hot spot and skin flare ups like pyaderma

7:03 pm

heh, kinda like me. took my last pill, but i'm afraid the infection isn't gone yet.

7:03 pm

for life..and it works well for us.

7:03 pm

oatmeal creme rinses may help soothe the skin, assuming it's not oatmeal she's allergic to...

7:04 pm

The keep putting her on for two weeks, then taking her off, then on... so I guess she needs a long-term dose maybe then she will need wither none or a pulse...

7:04 pm

yeah that is good too

7:04 pm

how you feeling ru?

7:04 pm

better feather unless I cough or sneeze

7:04 pm

still on weapons grade stuff?

7:04 pm

Prescription drugs are helping me cope with the pain...helped by babble game too...lol

7:05 pm

I can't thank all of you enough, really.

7:05 pm

YW pam you are a saint for that dog..

7:05 pm

I have a question about my Rottie..she is 9 now and gets fanatic about licking her leg and rubbin the side of her face my vet put her on benadryl thinking it was an allergy but I am not sure

7:05 pm

feather, are you better? with your sinus infection from hell?

7:06 pm

Thanks, ruru.

7:06 pm

allergic dermatitis can be a REALLY frustrating thing to get under control, pam. often end up needing a course of steroids to knock the inflammatory stuff back, and then maintain on diet control, fish oil, and anti-histimines

7:06 pm

Personally Pit Bulls scare the crap out of me.. but I have met so many sweet ones in the last year.. the problem are with some owners

7:06 pm

i feel better, but i don't think it's really gone, and am terrified that it will come back over the weekend! just took my last pill

7:06 pm

My Bichon licks his feet all the time. He's 14 & 1/2. I just let him be. It's not hurting him any

7:06 pm

She was on preds for a while--stopped any itching she had, but not the orangey skin....

7:06 pm

Allergy or yeast issues speed get a skin scraping

7:06 pm

i've met a lot more nice pits than mean ones. it's just that the mean ones are SOOOOO bad that they give a bad name to the whole breed

7:07 pm

It is the other end of the leash, ruru....

7:07 pm

can't licking like that just be a kind of nervous tic kind of thing sometimes?

7:07 pm

ruru you are right pit bulls are great if you raise them right I had one for 15 years and she was a doll

7:07 pm

He also blew out hs knee several years ago. The vet said that as long as he doesn't put on weight, he should be okay. He limps, but gets along ok

7:07 pm

can be nervous, or habit, or itching, or even arthritis that's causing the feet to ache; sort of like rubbing your hands when they're sore/stiff

7:08 pm

Yeah it isn't quite the same thing as being attacked by a pug or anything like that ..lol

7:08 pm

it just seems like a compulsive habit that she is not comfortable with either

7:08 pm

actually, the only serious bite i've ever taken was from a mini schnauzer

7:09 pm

and a pomeranian killed an infant in early 2000 or 2001...

7:09 pm

I thin he's just compulsive. It's his only bad habit, so I can put up with it.

7:09 pm

I am not afraid of dogs... they know I am a real dog person.

7:09 pm

vena

7:09 pm

Can you re-direct to a favorite chew toy?

7:09 pm

sorry

7:10 pm

I tripped over a dacshound and broke my knee

7:10 pm

MY Bichon doesn't have toys, only us.

7:10 pm

how is that possible? A pom?

7:10 pm

they are dangerous

7:10 pm

Hi ALL

Hi JAC!

7:14 pm

hey Jac!!!!

7:14 pm

my neighbors had a beautiful akita and we were sitting right there when my son (then 3) fell right on him she bit him in the face and my neighbors got rid of it but I knew it was an accident and never blamed the dog (my son was ok)

7:14 pm

I am going to walk the doggies.. HI jac.. bye everyone for a little while..

7:16 pm

*** washes hands and fingers ****

7:16 pm

akitas are really great dogs, for what they are. they were bred as guard dogs, and similar to chow chows they will attach strongly to a family and really don't tolerate well being pounced on/pulled around/handled by people outside their families. the problem is, they look like giant teddy bears, and kids love to tackle them :(

7:17 pm

makes sense Jes

7:17 pm

true jess very true.. they are beautiful dogs too...our handler has the #1 AKita in the country

7:17 pm

well said, jes.

So..............did I miss much in the last couple of weeks?

7:53 pm

7:53 pm

Sort of, ruru, re distract etc., but I was also nursing him back to health after his operation at the time.

7:54 pm

LOL - confusion reigns, methinks.

7:55 pm

What's a candy striper costume?

7:55 pm

Dare I ask?

7:55 pm

7:57 pm

7:58 pm

Candy stripers are the helpful younger girls who do non-bnurse-y things at the hospital.. they are always cute and perky..

7:58 pm

mostly

7:58 pm

So, what is that costume ruru?

Jac, the outfit is what hospitalvolunteers used to wear usually teen girls... they used to wear a res striped skirt.

7:58 pm

I'm only 51. I can't be expected to know EVERYTHING. LOL

7:59 pm

Red - Oh! I see. Our wear pink, I think.

7:59 pm

bet that is your next costume then..

7:59 pm

*ours

7:59 pm

(***wink .. you will get a better reaction (****

red or pink, looked a bit like candy canes.

7:59 pm

po6?

7:59 pm

Probably not, ruru, since it wouldn't mean anything to him either.

gonna go enjoy my wine, cya tomorrow, have fun....bye xxx

wow..dedication..

ttfn everyone! *poof*

8:01 pm

nite

8:01 pm

8:02 pm

I hope as his nurse jac you gave him a thourough exam...

8:02 pm

thanks jac, i was noodling around with that but didn't know the word!

I suppose, plus no one wears skirts anymore.

ROFLMAO, ROFLMAO

8:03 pm

Mind you, my old midwife, who had been in general nusing during the 50s and 60s told me, 'Never turn your back on a man unless he's dead. And ev4 then, keep one eye open!'

8:03 pm

LOL, jac

8:03 pm

jeez she sounds tough..

8:04 pm

All I would add to that is if he is greek...

8:07 pm

..and, once again, I will be in my dressing gown with eyeballs down to the floor while she chats brightly and I give her lunch before I've ev4 thought about breakfast.

8:32 pm

8:33 pm

It has been a busy work week--in the office til 8 on Mon,Tues and Thurs, and working tomorrow. One partner is on vacation. I am exhausted and very anxious---too much work for me.

8:34 pm

hello friends. ((((co usin))))

8:34 pm

Yahoooo, Diem! You can do it, one day at a time!

8:34 pm

ve7/40 -- a little bloodvessel

8:34 pm

Oh, Scrabs, I am sorry!!!!!

8:34 pm

Hey Scrabs.. I have a dr question

8:34 pm

YAYAY on the 15 weeks, diem. Sorry about the layoff...

8:34 pm

Hi Stid. How is Student Stid doing?

8:34 pm

Hi, stid

8:34 pm

8:34 pm

Yes, Dr?

8:35 pm

((((diem)))) stick with it, your health is so important *offers plate of heirloom dried apples*

8:35 pm

hi stid

8:35 pm

but it can wait

8:35 pm

No need to wait, DR. I will head ot bed soon anyway.

8:35 pm

argh. I have tendinitis in my left thumb and had hoped that not using it all day would help. It did, but still tender and hard to type

8:35 pm

otherwise, I am doing well tonight.

8:35 pm

eo6 = eo + the animal associated with LEO, change last vowel

8:35 pm

eo + lion spelt funny

8:35 pm

hi stid!

8:35 pm

Aw, Stid.

8:35 pm

oh diem -- missed you --was looking up et6 -- good luck

8:35 pm

Jakes Dr wants me to have him tested for Aspergers

8:36 pm

thanks for the eo6

8:36 pm

DO you know any good websites

8:36 pm

Stid thankyou,thankyou

8:36 pm

Hm, there is no "test" but more of a clinical evaluation and observation of behaviors.

MOvie Man here at babble is not a web site, but he does have aspbergers. might be good to pop in and chat ith him.

8:36 pm

Jili, does the ve6-27 count as part of ve7-40? Thanks

8:36 pm

oodle, you do realize you need to go to the PB don't you?

8:37 pm

hi amanda and oodles

8:37 pm

OK.. well he gave me the name of some Phychologists

hey hey hey

8:37 pm

It can be very difficult to know who has Asperger Syndrome and who is just quirky (like me!).

8:37 pm

hi danna

8:37 pm

there are many aspergers folk here. and everywhere.

8:37 pm

aspergers seems to have many traits in common with some other fairly common things...

8:37 pm

the VE 6 and 7 are related

8:37 pm

ty.. I am not surprised but still concerned

8:37 pm

true, scrabs... i think more than movieman has said they have Aspergers

8:38 pm

why concerned DR?

8:38 pm

HE is a very quirky kid

8:38 pm

btw, that french stallion was familiar to me because of translating dog-breeding terms into french when we founded the GtDaneClub of Quebec in 1972 (and it's still flourishing) -- if I'd said French Stud ther might have been a bit more of a response, lol

8:38 pm

Read "Quirky Kids" by Perri Kalss and Eileen Costello.Good book that I recommend to parents.

8:38 pm

He is having a hard time socially at school

u know maybe u shouldnt say pb, bc not everyone knows what word he is talking about

until u say something

8:39 pm

More important than a diagnosis is to recognize strengths/weaknesses and to work on weaknesses.

8:39 pm

we need to get one of ours officially diagnosed... a partial diagnosis was made several years ago, but the psych retired halfway through the process and there weren't any other available in our area at the time.

8:40 pm

Acedemically he is fine .. it is the other stuff, looking people in the eye, monotone when tired or angry or scared

8:40 pm

we are so lucky to have scrabs here

8:40 pm

And read: "The HighlySensitive Child" by Elaine Aron.

Ok bed time.... PB is part of the fun Amanda. I am quite unlucky in not having time to finish....ah well.

8:40 pm

OK THANK you both so very much..

8:40 pm

aren't we, jilli? And jes, and red, and kje!

8:40 pm

Phanmd, do I need to add a letter to the ve627? Thanks

8:40 pm

the advantage of a full diagnosis will be better support at school -- schools are mandated to accomodate diagnosed things, but don't have to with merely "quirky" kids, even if it would help them.

8:40 pm

sweet dreams red

8:40 pm

I am very quirky and my friends love me for being different.

8:40 pm

Ciao, red! Have a good night!

8:41 pm

no, the ending is different

8:41 pm

(((SCRABS)))))

8:41 pm

yes indeed, pam

8:41 pm

and scrab's family loves her for being quirky too...

8:41 pm

*big stid wink*

8:41 pm

I have often used a diagnosis, even when not certain,just to get extra services at school.

8:41 pm

gapeach, ve + a tributary

8:42 pm

TY STID and Scrabs!!!

8:42 pm

I am a "highly sensitive person"--Dr Aron's other book. It helped me to see myself defined.

8:42 pm

to 4 #1 please it has me stumped

8:43 pm

Hope it helps, DR. the most important thing, I find, is reminding our child that, while there are some known challenges that he is very much loved for WHO he is (and the diagnoses are not excuses to not work on his weak areas)

PB PB PB PB

8:43 pm

tributary? hmmmmmm

8:43 pm

to + 2 more vowels

8:43 pm

pam, think the ending for small

8:43 pm

to4 = foot appendage + article

8:43 pm

PB for whom? when? *looking for words in chat*

8:43 pm

gapeach, I clued the ve7 ages ago as a small bloodvessel -- did you not see that?

8:44 pm

OMG i miss that word everytimeit is in the grid. i should just try it automatically every day

8:44 pm

hello knitter!

8:44 pm

I finally figured out ve7

8:44 pm

waving at stid

8:44 pm

"ventricle" is too long...

8:44 pm

if you remove the VE, you get the tributary

8:44 pm

ve 7 a mini blood vessel

8:44 pm

i am dense...

8:44 pm

Another piece of advice, DR and Stid---testing by a neuropsychologist will give the most detailed info.

8:45 pm

ve +in5

8:45 pm

oh, clever, nrkii, although I would have thought that was more like a little sea incursion

8:45 pm

{{{ STID and SCrabs}}} Thanks... off to make dinner now

8:45 pm

*thinking* thanks scrabs

8:45 pm

see you later DR

8:45 pm

8:46 pm

oh! rofl....

8:46 pm

8:46 pm

yay!

8:46 pm

8:46 pm

a stranger

8:49 pm

Half a foot--hahaha.

8:49 pm

oh i hate snow. i dislike the cold. i think that i was switched at birth with some kid now living in hawaii

8:50 pm

Where do you live now,AK? I forget.

8:50 pm

I'm with you ak

8:50 pm

we don't get much snow on this side of "the mountains" (the cascades), so 6 inches is rather a lot for us

8:50 pm

oh but jill!!! you WERE born in a tropical clime!

8:51 pm

i am in massachusetts freezing my ho-ho off as we are having some weird cold snap

8:51 pm

I love snow, but I hate cold without purpose. Last night I was out walking in the cold and wishing for snow, so at least I could enjoy feeling the flakes on my face. Just plain cold is awful.

8:51 pm

fireworks

8:51 pm

I was born in Peking/Beijing -- not tropical -- but went to Shanghai at age 1 -- not tropical but hotter than here

8:52 pm

cold has no purpose other than to annoy me

8:52 pm

YAY nrkii!!!

sp5/14 plz...

8:52 pm

We have had a snowy week and the ski resort 30 mi south opened yesterday--their 3rd earliest opening date ever.

8:52 pm

I don't mind snow -- or cold. As long as _i_ am inside, warm and dry with plenty of cocoa and books.

nice nrkii

8:52 pm

Great plan,Stid!!

8:52 pm

Yahoo NRK!!!

8:53 pm

sp5/14 = past tense of place for massages and facials

8:53 pm

YAY nrkii!!!!!

8:53 pm

Silly word.

8:53 pm

Stid, my new deal is that if I go for a 3 mile walk at night (or at least 2.5) I get really excellent hot cocoa to keep me warm on the way home

8:53 pm

There's a place in town that makes hot chocolate with ancho chile in it ,and it's fabulous

8:54 pm

can i have the reward without the work?

8:54 pm

that sounds like a wonderful incentive, nrk! I like cocoa with chili in it.

8:54 pm

When I was young and living in the Montreal area, cold meant "if you can't beat it, join it" so I skied, did figure skating, enjoyed the crunch of snow on a cold day all bundled up

8:54 pm

So what does that taste like, N?

8:54 pm

ak -- you can... I can't

8:54 pm

scrabs, like very sharp chocolatey chocolate

8:54 pm

Lindt Chile Chocolate bars are similar, but not quite as good

8:55 pm

I do like chocolatey chocolate!

8:55 pm

mmm chili is a great compiment to chocolat

8:55 pm

it's like intense chocolate, with a little kick to it to sharpen the flavor

im still not getting sp5

8:55 pm

time to go zap supper (10 minutes in the microwave)

8:55 pm

te 6/21 please

8:56 pm

sp5 = place for massages + Mr. ** the talking horse

8:56 pm

there. no blank tiles, up to 77 words

8:56 pm

there are 2 te6/21 -- one holds a beverage, the other has a connection with Achilles

8:56 pm

te 6/21 = either a device for serving/making hot beverages...

8:57 pm

or... what Jilli said

8:57 pm

lol

8:57 pm

she was too quick!

thx nrkii

8:57 pm

that seldom happens, nrk!

8:58 pm

i was looking at the wrong t ty

8:58 pm

see, iuman saw yours, not mine, lol

8:58 pm

Well, our Buffalo Sabres hockey team is about to lose another game.They are slumping, as are our Bills(football).

8:58 pm

happens more than you realize jilli, as sometimes I just erase what I'm typing because I was so wordy I couldn't get it out in time

8:59 pm

same here -- I have to go back and correct typos so others beat me to it

8:59 pm

So, AK, I will write to you tomorrow evening, after work and hospital rounds.

8:59 pm

ugh, my finger joints are throbbing tonight...

9:00 pm

ok scrabs i will be around unless i freeze to death at the thanksgiving parade tomorrow i am on band duty with my daughters band

9:00 pm

9:01 pm

9:01 pm

scrabs, I hope your sojourns with this bunch of friends will relax you and let you worry less about tomorrow

9:01 pm

oh i love hand warmers. think i can plaster myseslf with them? they are predicting a high of 20 with 20 mph winds

9:02 pm

night Scrabbler -- I hope you feel better in spirit soon!

9:02 pm

ak, 20C here would be delightful now

9:02 pm

ak - I've just started using hand warmers this year, even though I've had Raynaud's for ages... I got a big box of them at CostCo and now I'm addicted

9:03 pm

not 20C, 20F... what is that... about -10C???

9:03 pm

that is 20 F not sure what the C equivalent is.

9:03 pm

ok, off to start supper (balsamic chicken and garlic mashed spuds + broccoli)

9:03 pm

owie nrk

9:03 pm

sounds yummy

9:03 pm

oops, late for puzzling with mom... have to run

9:04 pm

night all -- happy hunting!

9:04 pm

later jill -- we had chicken (from the store) and rice (love my rice cooker)

9:04 pm

sweet dreams nrk!

l8r nrk

9:04 pm

often thought of getting a rice cooker do you use it a lot?

sp5/12 anyone with a clue?? lookin for it for a while

9:05 pm

add a vowel to the 4/5 above it

9:06 pm

ooh! right colimn grey!

9:07 pm

my hand hurts though... will get halfway and stop today

same here!

ok, i gotta go to bed... got the right column gray, thx 4 ur help all!!!

9:07 pm

we use the rice cooker quite a bit. Don't have to worry about overcooking, can set it to go and then do other things. Then it stays nice and warm until we are ready to use it.

9:08 pm

hmmmm might have to get one

9:08 pm

Comes in handy when I want to do a BIG meal -- or when the kids are hungry they can put the cooker on and warm up some eggrolls or whatever from the freezer

9:08 pm

can you use flavored rice? i like to cook it in stock or just H20

9:09 pm

yes, we often add seasonings

9:09 pm

SOLD!

9:10 pm

our cooker has a removable liner that lets us get it really clean -- no need to worry about leftover flavors

9:10 pm

LOL

9:13 pm

oh. there I am at halfway -- I wish I could stay longer...

9:13 pm

night

9:13 pm

see you-all another day! *poof*

11:08 pm

FI 5/16 last

11:08 pm

ei6/21, pls

11:08 pm

fi5 mignon

11:09 pm

yes, fi5/16 is last :)

11:09 pm

maybe put photo stuff first?

11:09 pm

EI & gon**** italian boat?

11:09 pm

parvo? it's a virus. hijacks fast-growing cells, because it can't reproduce itself. no effective meds directly against the virus, but the virus itself rarely causes death; it leads to dehydration and secondary systemic bacterial infection by stripping the lining of the intestine. so we treat with fluids and antibacterials, and the pup's immune system has to control the virus on its own. we get about 80% survival unless the pup's damn near dead when it comes in.

11:09 pm

I like the recipes...

11:09 pm

:-D

11:09 pm

thanks

11:09 pm

ei6/21? pls?

11:09 pm

8 to go

OH Jess that site is still up yes very bad

11:10 pm

go harp go go go

11:10 pm

that's not horrible, have been working with bacteriophages this last couple weeks so familiar with the concept

11:10 pm

the stuff they're trying to sell on that site scares the crap out of me, because they specifically say not to take the dog to a vet, claim it's a waste of time.

11:10 pm

EI 6/21 ei & gon**** italian canal boat?

That and the heart worm stuff

11:10 pm

and untreated dogs have something like a 40% survival

11:10 pm

I didn't like the idea that ONLY their products could help, and that they discourage going to a vet... whatever happened to proper diagnosis?

11:10 pm

not making sense to me, jes; sorry

11:10 pm

or is parvo the only thing that present that way (thinking it would be unusual)

11:10 pm

oops, I meant lindy

11:11 pm

ve7,plz.....don,t know mucn about blood vessels, except that I have some.

11:11 pm

hey, music

*this one)nhttp://tinyurl.com/6rvj8w

11:11 pm

ei6/21? another clue, please?

11:11 pm

aeb, what blood flows through + john lennon song "*** it be"

11:11 pm

ve7 -- opp of artery + allow

11:11 pm

hey, tyger

11:11 pm

or was that mccartney?

11:12 pm

Well, Joey has an ear infection, serious enough for a does of meds in the vet's office and a couple of week's script for the two of them..not as bad as I thought, but enough $$ to put groceries on teh back burner...just kiddin, he's doing better, but only because of the antibiotics...Precious' was not as severe...

Stid when you skim to the bottom of the site there is a HUGE disclamer

11:12 pm

I think that I will write to the FDA tomorrow when I have half a brain

11:12 pm

EI & ** ray me so **

11:12 pm

ty, Jilli

11:12 pm

it stinks when pets aren't feeling well.

11:13 pm

no, there are several things that cause diarrhea and vomiting, but that's the most rapidly dangerous. and if you read that page, they totally weasel on their own stuff--they say that it's not effective against "parvo imitators" which means if your dog dies, it's not that you were treating with the wrong thing, it's that you were treating for the wrong thing. or so they'll claim.

11:13 pm

ei6/21 -- 1st 3 letters of previous word + Oil of ***y

11:13 pm

ty Stid...it was Lennon

this is the disclaimer that no one sees: This product has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

11:13 pm

thx, lindy!

11:13 pm

yes, which only highlights why a visit to a vet for diagnosis is imperative! *sigh* thanks jes will do this in the mornign.

11:14 pm

I looked for the disclaimer lady but couldn't find it!

11:14 pm

yvw tyger, glad i could help!

11:14 pm

li7/32, pls?

11:14 pm

there's an awful lot of quackery going on

11:14 pm

glad it helped aeb

RIght down the bottom

11:14 pm

right, lady. and the whole page is blatantly claiming to treat and cure a specific disease, which puts them cross-wise with the law.

11:14 pm

always, jilli, always

11:14 pm

and now i must go ecause typing is hurting the te6-itis in my thumb. back tomorrow.

11:14 pm

nite, stid

11:14 pm

(((((((hugging everyone)))))))

11:15 pm

the disclaimer is in a yellow box WAY down at the end of everything else.

11:15 pm

*poof*

11:15 pm

g'night, stid.

11:15 pm

yes, Stid...I didn't think Joey's issue was bad enough, but then I got to thinking...I always visit the vet when they aren't well...fortunately for me thay have been...

11:15 pm

nite, Stid...know what you mean

11:15 pm

night Stid, sweet dreams

11:15 pm

de6/30 -- remove bloodvessel (not artery)

11:28 pm

thx, all, for your patience and for keeping on until it seeped into my brain

11:28 pm

dunno, tyger, i don't have it ;)

11:28 pm

HI Min!...I thought he just needed his ear cleaned so I used the ear cleaner the vet gave me before and when he kept scratching I sprayed some anti-itch, which set him off ..the next day and for the pst 2-3 days, he has been tilting his head and shaking it violently ...I knew then it was an inner ear thing, much worse than Precious ever has been. Thought it might be ear mites, which only come out with oil-based drops. I thought I had made it worse for Joey, but the vet said it was just a bacterial infection inside the ear and his own doing on the flip side of his floppy outer ear. still, it kept me awake for the past three nights, cause he wouldn't rest....

11:28 pm

is the po6 yiddish? No def here

11:28 pm

oi. thanks, jili, i was ages from thinking of that.

11:28 pm

de6 is what you do when you clean shrimp

11:31 pm

11:31 pm

I was trying to enter this from BabExp, but it's too busy uploading: of course, what you remove from shrimp is NOT a ve4 :D

11:31 pm

of course, what you remove from shrimp is NOT a ve4 :D

11:31 pm

of course, what you remove from shrimp is NOT a ve4 :D
