Last day of school for the kids today, and much Merry to be made. The celebration begins in t-minus 7 hours at Hotel Lori

4:24 am

but the buses cancelled here...so mine get today off too

is it too dangerous for school with the snow?

4:25 am

I have officially lost count of how many batches of decorated cookies made and consumed here this month. Cookie monsters!

Lori you need to use the NEstle toll house recipe. Double batch and freeze into 4 logs

4:26 am

the buses need to make the decision now.... but this particular storm is supposed to be really nasty..not so much the buses getting them there..its what to do when they can't get them home

4:26 am

mmmmmm cookies

4:27 am

***jitters her way to the kitchen to makes 2nd pot of coffee***

4:27 am

good morning everyone

4:27 am

we expecting 10+ inches...and winds out of east ( for us...(east means really bad...prevailing winds are from west here ) at 60 kmh... and a rate of falling 1-2 inches/ hour... means loads of drifting and no visibility

4:27 am

i used to love snow days when i was at school, but i aways enjoyed them even more when my girls had them, everyone would come o my house and we would have snowball parties

4:27 am

I use my Grandmother's recipe. ***hands Ata a dozen decorated trees***

4:28 am

G'd morning jacq

4:28 am

snoball parties?

4:28 am

morning oh jittery one lol

http://tinyurl.com/67j55 I swear buy this recipe (minus peanuts)

MOrning Jac

4:28 am

hi jacq

4:28 am

I'm with you Jacq, I love it when the kids get unexpected days off.

4:28 am

nods we would all pile into the garden, have snowball fights then come back in and drip all over the kitchen floor while we had home made soup and stuff, them all go back out again

4:29 am

morning carlee, morning lady

4:29 am

ah...ok.. ours always made sno forts....

i dislike snow

4:30 am

oh we did that too, we lived beside a small stream and on a really quiet part of the estate and it would be bedlam, seperate forts being built and sno wars, igloos and all the fun for the duration

we may actually get a decent warm Christmas. Hoping for a not horrid hot NYE

4:30 am

and mini tobaggan hills .... hubby would come around with the snow plow and plow all the snow onto 1 lawn....to make a hill

4:30 am

carlee, beglad there's thunder in the storm front. "thunder over the winter wood" is a sign of an open winter.

4:31 am

i can remember delivering xmas presents with the girls in their sledged and me pulling them along, huge bags of gifts sitting with the girls, was exhausting but good fun

4:31 am

unless u live at teh great lakes..any time I've ever heard thunder in winter storm..means snowed in for 2-3 days

4:31 am

i miss snow

4:32 am

( not disagreeing with u lori....just been my experience )

I think i have played in it twice loathed it both times

4:32 am

I dont!

4:32 am

I've heard it 4 or 5 times....

4:32 am

really lady?

yep

4:32 am

i love snow, waking up in the morning and it's too bright, it's too quiet and you just know it snowed

4:33 am

my ex used to hate it because me and the girls would be up fed and dressed before 6 am and would be in the garden having a ball, he was a sour faced sod

4:33 am

yea..i like that too jacq..but I stilllh ave to go to work...then I have a car appt..then I have to renew sticker on my liccense plate...

4:33 am

The parable does not speak to the particular storm carlee, but the winter overall.

4:33 am

drive carefully please carlee

drive carefull Carlee

Jax and this is why he is an ex. Making kids memories fun is so important

4:34 am

Since I've personally declared this to be a 186 word grid, I'm free to make merry all day....

4:34 am

oh..i don't mind driving in snow.... I have 4wd

4:35 am

looooool

Jessdragon was driving her truck and being a snow plow at the same time not fun

4:35 am

I am more worried about the possibility of snow in NC next week..those southerners tend to NOT know how to drive in snow

4:35 am

lol Lori

4:36 am

5:01 am

5:01 am

Hi Babblers. I am quite jealous. If there is one thing I miss about living in the US. It's great storms. I love cold, blustery winter storms. They don't even exist here. Neither do blowy, thundery summer rainstorms.

5:01 am

i miss extreme weather too

5:01 am

hmmm am looking forward to bit of hippo wallowing here

5:02 am

this sounds like a "Nor'easter" storm

5:02 am

Where are you from Jac?

5:02 am

Hey Mich

5:02 am

Hi reparteena.

5:02 am

a nor'easter that came from colorado feather :)... the wind going to come from the east tho

5:02 am

scotland originally but am in london now it's been grey since i got here with odd sunny spells

5:02 am

5:03 am

no I am teasing feather... it is "like " a nor easter.....

5:03 am

My kids don't even know what real snow feels like. We get snow about once every 2 yrs or so, but it's mostly wet awful slushy stuff.

5:03 am

fa 7/48 clue please

5:04 am

*pokes carlee for the tease*

5:04 am

5:05 am

ok..going....

5:06 am

wow, great news mrp!

5:06 am

A man stands near a utility pole in North Dakota, March 9, 1966. A spring blizzard produced snow so deep that it nearly buried the utility poles: http://www.nsidc.org/snow/gallery/bliz zard_1966b.html

5:06 am

good news mrp

what will be brilliant is that I don't have to chat with you all from the hospital for 4 weeks at a time! I am very happy with the news

5:07 am

congrats mrp!

5:07 am

woot woot... stealing crossy's guns for a 21 gun salute

5:07 am

wow BR!

I remember the times I had to go to the internet cafe and type with one finger to chat with you all for weeks at a time.... I am so so over it now!! how PERFECT

5:08 am

happy dance for u...

thanks girlies!

5:10 am

woohooooooo!

I am going to miss you all over christmas though... I am having surgery on Monday... general aneasthetic will knock me about, so I hope to be back soon after that!

5:11 am

( I'll let scarlet know your news when I see here mrp)

5:11 am

see her *

5:17 am

when do you leave Carlee?

5:17 am

very early mon morning

5:18 am

Where will you be staying?

5:19 am

we are staying in a town about 20 mi south of asheville...in a cabin up in the smokie mountains

5:19 am

My son lives in Hendersonville.....you must be staying close to there

5:20 am

we are staying in hendo...yes

5:20 am

oh ok. He is an aerial photog there.

5:21 am

very cool... I am hoping to wake up to a dusting of snow in the mountains christmas morning..likely wishful thinking but would be nice

5:21 am

I'm a native Ashevillian

5:22 am

they've had snow twice this year already...not much but a bit

5:22 am

well..besides the biltmore... any other must do's whilst we there?

5:24 am

Downtown Hend. is a nice little town...lots of shops & restaurants. Asheville is too. The Arcade building in Asheville is sort of a mall now, but has a great history that you could check out if you go downtown Asheville.

5:25 am

BIltmore Village is old houses made into shops & restaurants

5:25 am

not a lot of attractions that I can think of

5:25 am

Uhoh..must leave for work....be back on in a few...

5:26 am

Over & out

5:26 am

I think we will likely spend alot of time just at the cabin.

5:26 am

bye hiley

5:26 am

hi, all. I spoke with my daughter yesterday; she said it has been a long week. Her husband is working out of town during the week for several weeks, and she said the boys really miss him. She bought a webcam, and she said when she hooked it up, 22 month old Ryan practically tried to climb into the computer...

5:35 am

I'm off dogs today...

5:35 am

5:35 am

5:35 am

in a *pack*!

5:36 am

what's he done?

5:36 am

m got it

5:36 am

my lovely soppy boy has done nothing for once. Simon was out with Megan this morning and a lurcher dashed over and bit her

5:37 am

et 5/12?

5:37 am

what's a lurcher?

What is the point value of the W 8 please ?

5:37 am

is she ok?

5:37 am

its a cross breed greyhound x collie

5:37 am

no! bad lurcher!

5:37 am

8.65

ty br

5:37 am

65 kris

5:38 am

is she ok?

5:38 am

It ripped her jeans and has left a perfect bite mark on her leg. Not broken the skin but very bruised and swollen. She's only 3!

SHUT UP LYNN lol

5:38 am

oh no! is she scared?

5:38 am

b ite me i need my last e grrrrrrrr

5:39 am

yes Feather, every dog we've seen this morning she's screamed and shouted 'is that the naughty dog?'

5:39 am

80 left, better go for now

5:39 am

oh, poor baby!

5:39 am

poor darling!

5:39 am

I know :(

5:39 am

et 5 -- spirit of a culture;

5:39 am

later feather

5:39 am

see you later feather

5:39 am

do you know the lurcher in question?

5:39 am

anyone for the et 5/12?

5:40 am

unfortunately I do Ata. It belongs to good friends of ours. And she had it on a lead at the time

5:40 am

urf

5:40 am

She has spent half the morning in tears on the phone to me and has already gone out and bought a muzzle

5:41 am

poor lady! poor everyone!

5:42 am

I know. Hopefully she will be responsible about it all. To be honest she is generally one of the most responsible people I know but she has ALWAYS had viscious dogs. Weird!

5:43 am

how odd

5:43 am

sounds like she needs the Dog Whisperer. Something is going very wrong with how those dogs are trained.

5:44 am

hopefully megan will get over this liz

5:44 am

The lurcher she had before this one savaged Oscar when he was a puppy. And the Jack Russsel would as soon eat you as look at you!

5:44 am

lurchers are always psycho dogs, but they certainly don't have to be aggressive

5:44 am

Thanks Eva and Carlee. I hope so. I guess Oscar will love her too bits until she gives in :)

5:45 am

I a;ways love the name oscar...

5:45 am

good morning by the way. Speaking of biting. Merp did this morning at 4 am when I was stumbling through the dark to pee. Have no idea what was in his little pea brain.

5:46 am

hi eva!

5:46 am

waiting for snow....again. This winter has started with a real bang.

5:46 am

Is Merp the cat in your icon?

5:47 am

yup

5:47 am

can I mention a nice dog thing now?

5:47 am

absolutely

5:48 am

it was hobbit's birthday yesterday, she's 7! 7!!!!! I've had her for just over 6 years. wow.

5:48 am

5:48 am

happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dead Hobbit, happy birthday to you.

5:48 am

5:48 am

5:50 am

good morning babble land!

5:50 am

hi trifs

5:50 am

hello Trif

5:51 am

poor hobbit, she's exhausted still today after chasing about 70 pheasants yesterday. and then getting a battered sausage for her dinner as a birthday treat

5:51 am

seems like most of todays snow will fall south of us carlee 10 cm worth for the gta area,we are to get a dusting only

5:51 am

toasts oasts

5:51 am

aw, sweet hobbit :-)

5:51 am

swmbo! hi!

5:51 am

hey, swmbo!

5:51 am

supposed to go with a friend for an anti-winter no light eating everything in sight depression spa afternoon today, and I think we'll still go, but it's supposed to snow heavily. Really don't want to cancel-but the relaxation effect may be severely hampered if the snow is heavy and I have to drive for an hour and a half with my shoulders up around my ears.

5:51 am

Awww bless her (thinks maybe I should opt for extra-strength eau de fox poo instead)

5:51 am

10 cm...that nothing..we supposed to get 10 inches

5:52 am

urf, it's no fun getting stressed while on the way

5:52 am

oh Eva that sounds heavenly :) Hope the weather clears for you

5:52 am

not us..we get a pass this time;)) will be a nice change

5:52 am

wow, this grid is plural hell

5:52 am

I had a lovely surprise yesterday my Mum sent me a hamper from the local smoke house full of yummy goodies!

5:52 am

no- this is on the way back. They are predicting between 2-12 inches. This close to the mountains the dividing lines are very hard to predict.

5:53 am

wow, liz - nice mummy!

5:53 am

meat hamper?? mmmmm

5:53 am

oh lovely!

5:53 am

how wonderful, liz!

5:53 am

Not meat more stuff liked smoked salmon, smoked cheeses ....

Which storm Eva , todays or Sunday ?

5:53 am

( gift basket crossy)

5:53 am

how *gorgeous*

5:53 am

hello Une

I heard up to 8 inches today and well over a foot for Sunday

5:54 am

yup just heard it

5:54 am

No hope of clearing Liz-just how hard we'll get clobbered. When I was younger I used to love the adventure of driving in storms. At 59 it feels different. Today's storm Kristine. I think of you every time now when I hear reports for Rutland. Everything seems to head your way. Todays storm is supposed to be much worse in the South where you are

5:54 am

wow you lot are in for a proper white Christmas

5:55 am

Sunday is too far away for them to know what they are talking about.

5:55 am

yeap..pretty much a given for this end to be a white christmas

I am really getting irritated with this snow AND IT'S NOT EVEN WINTER YET

5:55 am

I wish mine was going to be white

5:55 am

we are due to get around a foot today also. Of course, we till have school, the kids' field trip is still on, etc. Our super NEVER closes the school. as bugs bunny used to say, "what a maroon"

5:56 am

God I have to move to the US

5:56 am

we are already up to our armpits in the stuff,its your turn now;)

5:56 am

Excuse me while I take a whining break....I've never been to a spa! I want to go to the spa today!!!Why is it snowing on my spa day?!!! Okay, enough narcissism for the day

SPA ? CAN I COME TO ?

5:57 am

Crossy which part of Canada are you in?

5:57 am

our schools NEVER close here.....kids who walk..expected to show...parents who can get them there get them there...buses get cancelled...teachers if cannot reach their school MUST report to closest school to their home

5:58 am

im in central ontario on the shores of lake huron 3 hours north of toronto liz

5:58 am

( or 4 hours north of me :p )

5:58 am

yup

5:58 am

I don't know Canada very well but my husband has family in Alberta and he himself spends a lot of time in Nunavut

5:58 am

so its very white indeed

5:59 am

you should miss the worst crosshair :) I'm in Kitchener and we are expecting to get hit

5:59 am

ok..we not THAT far north liz

5:59 am

nunivit is 6 hours north and east of me give or take

5:59 am

and of course, I have a party planned for tonight...I hate snow

5:59 am

maybe more

5:59 am

for sure Kristine. I'd offer you a bed at my place, except I haven't figured out how I'm going to get back in the driveway when I return from the spa....if we go. We're going to Topnotch ski resort. The plow guy won't plow until tonight, and the town plow will have created a mound that will block the driveway. I really need to be grown up and think about this seriously. I could just take my cleats and park half a mile down the road at the store and walk back up which would be in the dark, but would give me a good workout.

5:59 am

( more I think....10 hours maybe??? )

6:00 am

hey ladies,if you plan it right you can get stuck at the spa.......

Nothing would stop me from a day at the spa

6:00 am

probably a lot more carlee,thats north of labrador now that im thinking of it

6:01 am

Thought of that too cross-but there's the cat, and being here to keep the wood stove going in case the power goes out-not to mention the cost of staying at the resort during high season.

6:01 am

yea.... I think it is too....

6:01 am

le 4/4 first 1?

6:02 am

Carlee you make Nunavut sound like its almost on another planet!

6:02 am

I can't see house across road from me....we on a cul d sac

6:04 am

6:05 am

It takes me 5 minutes on my bike to get to ours and I feel like thats a long way lol

6:05 am

6:05 am

6:05 am

poor ata

Cross it was South that you always show

6:46 am

Poor Ata! Sleep well.

6:46 am

6:46 am

ok you now have south and central;)

6:46 am

can't, can't sleep. too owie. nope, no harpoon, but I'm allergic to the metal of the needle, so my arm will be like this for a good while

6:47 am

mm..seems my question mark key has gone on haiatus

6:47 am

loool

6:48 am

off to make the offsprings lunch for his last day of school for the year;(((

6:48 am

Ata, is it latex you are allergic too?

later Crossy

Ata how the heck are you allergic to that metal. that is mega odd

6:49 am

*to, I meant. When the needle pierces the vial the vial top is rubber.

Bye Cross travel safe

6:49 am

no ... as far as anyone can tell it seems to be some metals. I can't touch coins without getting almost burned, I get big red marks on my hands, ditto metal cutlery, I can't wear gold or silver, same reaction, ditto hypo needles. It's odd and annoying

6:51 am

in basic the medics would form a gauntlet and inject us with airguns sometimes four at a time

6:52 am

I just can't wait for the nice little air-powered powder injections to be everywhere

6:52 am

Can't believe the WO8 is an actual word!

6:53 am

type of wool mama

6:53 am

why not? it's a material

6:54 am

But why didn't you get the nasal flu vaccine then?

6:54 am

because we don't get that over here

6:54 am

did not know there was a nasal flu vaccine

6:54 am

nor did I till yesterday peri!

Ata what about silver?

6:54 am

next year, I'll ask ahead and see if it's possible

6:55 am

nope, silver is bad. As far as I've found out, the only metals I can wear are platinum and rhodium. expesnive tastes :P

6:57 am

bbl

6:57 am

"Flumist" is licensed for use from age 2-50 yrs in healthy people--no asthma, no immunosuppression, as it is a live vaccine. Shot is killed vaccine.

6:57 am

have you had to change door knobs water taps car keys etc to materials you tolerate?

Ok We have a Werewolf amongst us

6:57 am

Poor Ata.

6:58 am

Do werewolves go after rabbits?

6:58 am

http://www.canweb.ca/webcam/syc15sec.h tml

6:58 am

bugger. couldn't have it anyway, horribly asthmatic

6:58 am

this the lake here..looking west....not very exciting....but very cold looking

6:59 am

mmm white metal for the keys and glass doorknobs aand nix on the underwire bras;(

6:59 am

sometimes. sometimes I just don't touch the metals - like the car keys have a plastic fob bit

6:59 am

sometimes I put a few coats of paint over metal handles and stuff, seems to work

7:00 am

always have cutlery with wooden handles etc etc!

(coughs werewolf at ata_

7:01 am

lol

7:02 am

no coors light beer for ata aka the silver bullet;)

7:05 am

funny..the rarer the base metal is,the less allergic they are..mmmmmmmmmm

What about gold Ata?

7:05 am

im jus messin with ya ata:))

7:05 am

nope, no gold

7:05 am

too common herin;)

7:05 am

*grins* women have expensive tastes!

7:06 am

has to be platinum or molybendium or something like that

7:06 am

1000 per ounce and over will be fine;)

7:07 am

absolutely!

I reckon Ata is using it as a sweet excuse for the pretty Platinum

7:08 am

rhodium is even more expensive! and blooming hard to get hold of

So Ata we can call you The Plastic Fantastic with love then?

7:10 am

black gold...and really pretty

7:10 am

lol id be buying her plastic settings:))) crossy is evil

7:10 am

about to go to bed

7:35 am

Goodness, just watching the news and the report from the Round the World Yacht Race. French guy in trouble with broken leg and UK boat has turned back to try and help/rescue. 800 miles off Australian coast.

7:35 am

eeeep!

7:35 am

yikes

7:35 am

ok, I need food. brb

7:36 am

food. i need some of that stuff too...

7:36 am

me too, going to make some drip coffee

7:37 am

Forgot to say that this is one person sailing - no other crew.

those guys are mental

7:38 am

guys and gals herin - the UK entry is a woman.

7:39 am

but nuts none the less :)

Ok both of them mental

7:39 am

lol

7:41 am

hi again - bus stop runs completed, babble time!

what makes someone think '' I know open water boat sea lets go around the world''

7:41 am

welcome back, Trif

7:42 am

Coffee is up

7:42 am

could you upload me a cup, annie???

HI again Trifs

7:42 am

not ellen macarthur?

7:42 am

Ah there are not enough hours today to debate that one. Hi Trif :)

7:42 am

**coffee on its way...cream and sugar on the tray*

7:43 am

thanks annie! I make the world's WO5 coffee, so I appreciate it.

7:44 am

btw - any good ideas for a cool gift for a very cool 20 year old girl - not a gift card, and actual gift? Has to be less than $20

7:44 am

No Ata

7:45 am

yes, that's about how far i have gotten with the gift ideas too....

7:45 am

at brookstone, they have for $20 a set of speakers that you can hook up an ipod nano to

7:45 am

Trif, A very pretty hair clip? or am I completely out of the loop

7:45 am

one really nice make-up thing that they couldn't otherwise afford. that's what I always do with my now 15 and 20 year old nieces, so they can look cool and brag about having them at school

7:46 am

cool. thanks you all - I knew you would have some good ideas! THANKS

My half sister gave our niece a handful of nice neutral coloured make up as she is only 13

7:49 am

but this is for a 20 year old so brighter the better!

7:49 am

Brookstone has a bunch of technological knick-knacks that are affordable

7:49 am

I always get secondo one of those big cheapie boxes of makeup they have on special at drugstores or dept stores.....she is only 12, but she loves to play makeup with her sister and her friends. I don't allow her to wear it out, of course

7:50 am

I agree eva, but unfortunately we don't have a brookstone near us.

7:50 am

ahh

Dang straight. A really nice trio of eye shadow in her fav colours and mascara and lipie is nice

7:50 am

Discovery channel store? i think they have a digital keychain and a keychain digital camera for $20 each...

7:50 am

I am INSANELY jealous of you overseas gals with access to Monsoon, which is hands down my favorite store on the face of the earth. Will NEVER understand how it is that Dubai has one, but the US has nothing

We have these awesome make up cases at target.

7:51 am

(you can probably find most of these things other places also)

Monsoon?

7:52 am

best store on earth herin. You would love love love it. It is right in line with our aesthetic

7:53 am

they do have a website, but it is not as much fun as actually going to the store and trying stuff on for hours

Nice. I did just clickie on the website

7:55 am

whenever I wear something I got at monsoon, people always ask me where I got it

7:55 am

trif -- sounds like you would like a store called Laila Rowe -- all accessories, and the store is grouped by color...

7:55 am

you could easily play in there for a while :)

OH but Target has Boots cosmetics

7:55 am

oh, very cool!

7:55 am

you could even get something for Diggity in Monsoon now

7:56 am

ata, I am so touched that you even know the name of my dog! you all are so wonderful in here...

7:56 am

LOL dogs are very important in here

7:56 am

i have a stuffed pug i won from dave + busters. does he count?

7:57 am

I know it's gonna sound all stalkery and weird, but I am so glad my cousin told me about babble. This is such a crap time in my life, and I feel so less alone now.

7:57 am

has he a name?

7:57 am

Blackbeard. :)

7:57 am

lol, trif, I think a lot of people here could tell you very similar stories

7:58 am

woot! fab name!

I am more likely to remember your babble name and your pets name than kids names

7:58 am

well, I have called one of the children the dog's name, and vice versa...

7:59 am

lol yes same here

7:59 am

that is funny, trif

7:59 am

all of our toys have names...heh

7:59 am

oh, and speaking of pets - GUILT - the hamster died two days ago. Tertiare is devastated, but I am secretly relieved. Cleaning the cage was a pain in the hole, and she ran on that damn well all NIGHT

8:00 am

well = whell

8:00 am

= wheel

8:00 am

looooool poor little hammie!

IN Australia we have cosmetics Australius they have a 'flirt' kit its aweome.

8:01 am

poor little daughter is so upset....and of course the ground is frozen solid, so hammie is er,,,,lying in state in the beer fridge for a spell. She is in a lovely casket, at least

8:01 am

oooooooops

OH Trifs that if horrid but funny at the same time

8:02 am

i know, right?

8:02 am

When our hamster died years ago, my children made me have a proper burial (child-wise) in an area near where I live. Said prayers, laid flowers, the entire thing...they were very serious

8:03 am

yes, that is definitely in our future. A simple reading and a few decent words....we have a regular little pet cemetery going in the back forty. Someday some archaeologist is going to have a field day with that find!

They usually are. I got devastated over a sodding goldfish

8:03 am

AND, my friend's parakeet died last week..ground frozen and Mookie is on my terrace in a velvet lined shoe box. I keep hiding from the men in white coats

8:03 am

i had a hamster when i was little. it died while i was away at camp. when i got home, all evidence of my ever having HAD a hamster was gone, and when i asked my mom what happened (knowing full-well it must have died) my mom said "what hamster, honey??"

8:03 am

eva!!! that is unreal! poor you

8:04 am

Oh, Evan!

8:04 am

yeah. i think she thought id freak out. but i was totally ok...

8:04 am

poor eva!

EVA that is funny but very very bad

8:05 am

erma bombeck told her kids the cat met a girl cat and wanted to get married, but she wanted to live near her family. that always cracked me up

8:05 am

to this day, she doesnt recall my ever having had a hamster...

8:06 am

oh for gawd's sake - I just got one of those automated calls from the school saying they would be letting the kids out early due to the coming storm - what an ass. Just cancel school outright, like all the other towns did! what an idiot

Trif I was saying just the opposite here. Think its stupid to cancel school in anticipation of a storm that might not hit us

My aunt told me when I was 5 or 6 that the sheep dog had gone to live on a farm. yep the dog bought the farm alright

bring the kids into school and dismiss early if necessary dont use up a precious snow day if not needed

8:08 am

eva - that was a risky move on your mom's part - you could easily have thought you were going crazy

8:08 am

tertiare is gonna be RIPPED - this means no class party

8:09 am

hurshy -- i might have, but its pretty common knowledge in my family that moms a loon. ;)

8:09 am

I see your point nono, but I hate the six am wake up enough to wish to just skip it

8:09 am

ah :)

8:09 am

lol evan

8:10 am

oh, crap - I just realized, the kids are off school for the holidays now, and I never finished "pre-assembly" of the santa stuff.

maybe they will do their party early before dismissal Trif

8:10 am

we have actually termed the quirky things my mom says as "liz-isms"

8:10 am

it's also saving gas and the environment to keep the kids home, rather than have them come in for a short and rather useless day

8:11 am

it would have to be liz, wouldn't it = that's my name

8:11 am

hah

8:11 am

my daughter's name, too

8:12 am

elizabeth is making a huge comeback here in the states, for sure. I am met several little ones with that name this year

8:12 am

i have 2 cousins named elizabeth

8:12 am

one on each side

8:12 am

actually, my moms name is Yvonne. but my dad has always called her Liz. :)

8:13 am

i have always thought that snow was God's way of telling everyone to relax, loosen up, and stay home...

8:13 am

I always said if I have a daughter her name would be Elizabeth...that was 40 years ago...I just love that name

8:13 am

hello everyone

8:13 am

mine is spelled funny - ElizaBeth

8:13 am

as long as the last name is not Borden

8:14 am

:)

8:14 am

actually, I almost married someone who's last name was Taylor - how funny would THAT have been!?

8:14 am

Hi BR...yes, and she got some ribbing about that too...

8:14 am

when my parents started dating, my dad thought that Yvonne was too much of a grown-up name, so he decided that since my mom looked like Liz Taylor, he would call her liz. and it stuck! all their friends call her liz...

8:15 am

say, i have 7 words to go - ah4, at4, what's the other a?

8:15 am

awwww

8:15 am

ah 6

8:15 am

8:16 am

8:16 am

8:20 am

growing up, whenever anyone called and asked for Yvonne, i knew it was either work or a telemarketer. if they asked for Liz, it was someone she actually wanted to talk to. :)

8:21 am

8:24 am

8:25 am

oh, peri - my husband saw a man in a chef's apron chasing a cat through the street in our city's Chinatown district. He was SO relieved to see the same cat, whole and healthy, the next day!

8:39 am

congrats - and thanks for the tip!

8:39 am

8:40 am

thank you. Now to do sudoku before helping to clue. Not much else I can do. We are SNOWED in. 5 inches so far!

snow is just starting here inge

Take care Inge

8:43 am

Humbug to snow!

i agree Judi

poor Judi

8:44 am

i am supposed to meet a friend for lunch at 12, but now I am debating whether to go or not....not snowing yet, so i will call it when it gets closer to noon, I guess

8:44 am

We don't have any snow. I just don't like it. Rain here today.

brr

8:45 am

oh nono, i wasn't going to send it on in any case - my boss, however, wanted me to find out if it was true. which it is.

what is?

what is true?

8:46 am

that bush put in a midnight regulation which extends the conscience-protection for health care professionals to include certain forms of birth control in the definition of abortion, thus allowing providers to refuse to prescribe them.

8:47 am

that is true hurshy, it was in newsweek this week.

hurshy i got one the other day which if it were true would be something good to know but unfortunatley was false

8:47 am

hrm. anyone here know how to get permanent marker off of a desk? *sheepish*

8:47 am

what kind of desk?

8:48 am

ummm...work desk....

8:48 am

Cover it up with a desk blotter, Eva. :-)

8:48 am

evan - rubbing alchol will remove it, but check on a unseen area of the desk first, to see if the alcohol hurts the finish first

8:48 am

plastic of some sort?

8:48 am

wood, metal, laminate...

So if say a catholic pharmacy refused birth control (morning after pill) they can do so with no consiquence from the law?

8:48 am

methinks

8:48 am

herin -- it seems that here, they can do that. a similar case was just in he news not long ago...

8:49 am

yes, herin, that is what it means, and more - a catholic nurse to refuse to inform a patient about the morning after pill, or really about birth control at all

8:49 am

Goo Gone?

8:49 am

can refuse, even

8:49 am

it's not just morning after, it's the Pill, period.

8:49 am

and if a hospital were to tell a doctor to keep prescribing when he/she did not want to, they could lose federal funding.

8:50 am

Was suggesting Goo Gone as a marker remover, not a form of birth control. Just a little clarification there.

8:50 am

lol judi

8:50 am

Judi!!! you ar so funny

8:50 am

heh, that could be quite an interesting mix-up there, judi...

Well I can understand that in a catholic hospital setting but not a regular hospital. I also understand from a pharmacest point of view but it is stupid if it was the lone pharmacist in town

8:50 am

however, the baltimore sun reports: After Jan. 20, the Obama administration could begin the process of adopting a revised ruled, but that would likely take many months. Instead, Congress could adopt a resolution that rejects the late rules adopted by the Bush administration.

8:51 am

(they need a better copy editor)

8:51 am

it's such a hot button issue, I am afraid to comment and maybe upset some people, but really, this steams me no end. the government has no business deciding what my doctor and I can discuss

I just see it from all points of view but at the same time when you are at work then you are a carer and a person.

8:52 am

it's not like that trif. they aren't saying it would be illegal for you and your doctor to discuss it, they are saying if your doctor considers the pill a form of potential abortion, and doesn't want to participate in the destruction of life, he doesn't have to help you do it.

8:53 am

if your doctor doesn't have a problem, you don't have a problem. it is more an issue in rural areas where women haven't a lot of options doctor and pharmacist wise, and so forth.

8:53 am

if my doctor considers the pill a form of abortion, I clearly need a different doctor. one who is educated, for instance

8:53 am

i don't think a pharmacist should be able to trump the decision of a doctor and patient. believe what you want but those beliefs shouldn't intrude on another's health and autonomy.

I had a huge argument with a Child Free nazi today. I told her that she should think for 5 minutes that being a reluctant parent has many personal issues and to think about it for 5 minutes. Apparently this constitutes in telling her that she doesn't get it as a child free person. it really pissed me off at her black and white attitude

8:54 am

on the other hand, businesses have the right to refuse to sell or server anyone

8:54 am

it is true that hormonal birth control, while primarily functioning to prevent conception, can possibly also prevent implantation of a fertilized egg should conception occur. however, no studies have determined - and probably will never be able to - what percent of the time this might happen.

8:55 am

hurshy - i think it is unusual that your doctor wants you to pass on this email. is your boss asking you to pass it on against your personal beliefs?

8:55 am

it is a small percentage, at any rate.

8:56 am

nono trif, my boss isn't a doctor, and isn't asking me to pass anything on, just to verify the facts.

8:57 am

of course, fertilized eggs can fail to implant even in women who are not on any form of birth control, which is what makes it impossible to know how often the pill is causing that to happen.

8:57 am

okay. I remember when I worked in DC, my boss asked me to fax letters of support for Clarence Thomas to be nominated to the Supreme court, and I wouldn't do it. Chaos ensued, and finally I had to do it, and I quit two weeks later

8:57 am

a business can, within limits, do as it pleases. individuals at the desk not so much. and it could be construed as a form of discrimination against non-believers. much as the pharmacists who have decided their beliefs trump the health of their clients have cried discrimination.

8:58 am

maybe in canada

8:59 am

look at all the trouble that store got in last week because it wouldn't make a cake for that Hitler kid! They did say it was because they have the right to refuse service, and again, it has to do with access. If you are the only pharmacy for 100 miles, it gets a lot trickier

8:59 am

doctors and pharmacists, however, have special professional codes that govern their behavior. a restaurant might be able to ban an obnoxious customer, but an ER can't turn someone away because they smell or something.

9:00 am

a pharmacist in illinois (if i recall correctly) was slapped for refusing to dispense legally prescribed medications. i think that it is a jurisdictional issue in the states.

9:00 am

hurshy, i would think a woman on the pill wouldn't want an egg to fertilize - isn't that why they take it?

finally..... FIREWORKS

9:01 am

yeah nono!

I guess now i get to set here and watch the snow pile up

9:02 am

yes trif, but sometimes it could anyway - nothing is 100% effective. but the hormones in the pills also prevent the uterine lining from building up and preparing to receive a fertilized egg, providing, one might say, another "line of defense" against pregnancy. one which, however, some consider abortion.

9:03 am

I just hate the intrusion of the government into this area.

9:03 am

so let's say you believe life begins at conception, but you don't want kids. you might yourself have a moral problem because you might be fine with the prevention of conception, but you might feel uncomfortable with the thought that a fertilized egg might be rejected by your body IF it happened to get fertilized. you might then choose to use condoms instead.

9:04 am

that is the case for my sister.

9:04 am

but it should be your sister's decision, and no one else's

9:04 am

however, if you are a doctor with the same set of beliefs, well, that's where it gets more complicated.

the only thing that is 100 % affective in birth control is keeping your legs closed

9:05 am

if you can get the prescription filled elsewhere, how is the government intruding?

9:05 am

Like the walls of the uterus, this conversation is proceeding down a slippery slope. I recommend a topic change.

9:05 am

both my parents are doctors, so I understand, totally, the idea that doctors are people with their own set of mores and belief systems. However, I do not think anyone but the patient and their doctor has the right to make decisions

9:05 am

if you live in montana, you may have significant difficulty getting the prescription filled at all.

9:06 am

that is not what I said

9:06 am

well trif, you are including the doctor. and really that is all that is going on - the gov't is not saying that you can't get the prescription, they are just saying that if your doctor doesn't want to prescribe it, he/she does not have to.

9:07 am

babble - in kansas, I think it is, doctors, no matter what they believe, are required to read a prepared statement to their patients seeking abortion advice. It includes language like "you acknowledge you are ending a human life" and other really manipulative text. the patient is required to sign pages of forms, and other stuff. it's hateful!!! The government in that state has completely intruded into the doctor's office, practice, and ran over the doctors' personal beliefs

9:07 am

perhaps doctors that hold such beliefs should be required to advertise that they will place their personal morals over a patient's individual choice. that seems fair to me and to the doctor. there is a lot of room for conflict that could be avoided that way.

9:08 am

the gov't is not "intruding" but current legal requirements make it a rather grey area

9:08 am

if you call for an appointment and say I want to see a doctor that will help me with contraception and get find out in advance the position of the pharmacist you should be ok

9:08 am

yes, the kansas thing is new...

9:09 am

i think when the state government requires a doctor to read a prepared statement, it is intruding.

9:09 am

you see, if you live in montana, and you have to drive hours and hours to get what you want, it can potentially be construed, legally, as an undue hardship. but of course, all this continues to be hashed out in state and federal courts on a daily basis.

9:10 am

some doctors will not deal with advanced directives for a patient that does not want extraordinary care ... have to pick a different doctor

9:11 am

ultimately the people of kansas must vote out reps who passed the law

9:11 am

ugh. this whole thing is such a maelstrom. I am going back to babbling

9:12 am

in case it is not clear, however, i am merely trying to present information and to demonstrate how things look from either perspective.

my cats poo is stinky

9:12 am

hello all

9:13 am

and only cause it happened to come up bc my boss asked me to research it! lol

9:13 am

hello, read my christmas rant if you wish!

9:13 am

i think all cat poo is stinky, herin

sorry i was badly trying to change topic. AND i think the little beast just kicked her litter over my lovely clean floor

9:14 am

that is a good rant harp :)

9:15 am

definitely a good rant harp!

9:17 am

my local paper has stopped publishing my letters to the editor because I remind readers the editors engage in advocacy journalism. are apologists for the current reign of lawlessness and are lap dogs rather than watchdogs

9:17 am

so much for free speech, babble!

9:18 am

good afternoon everyone

9:18 am

could someone get me started on the lower left T?

9:18 am

hi jacq

9:18 am

a newspaper has the absolute right to determine what is fit to print

9:18 am

take an exam

9:18 am

add a vowel to it

9:19 am

add another vowel to it

9:19 am

harp, i am no help at all - i haven't had much luck with that one

9:19 am

9:20 am

yes you do harp, you've got the Z and the F and the top N and S!

Babblers are so intelligent and open minded, I am so glad I joined. Even when people don't agree I love that they still listen and respect the other persons point of view. It's all about passion, people!!!!!!

9:21 am

*smarty pants Hurshy*

9:22 am

get this - my son told me when he dies he wants to be buried wearing leather boots, nylon pants, a flannel shirt, holding a iron spear, with a bronze helmet and with his ipod in his ears. He says he figures it will give future anthropologists a run for their money!

9:41 am

glad I found my snowboots on monday morning!

9:42 am

after this storm: http://www.nsidc.org/snow/gallery/bliz zard_1966b.html we walked up snow drifts to the roof of buildings and farmers chopped holes in barns to get air to livestock

9:43 am

my goodness thats alot of snow

9:43 am

heap HEAP big snow

9:43 am

oooh, 1 grey tile (other than obvious 0/0s)!

9:43 am

ND, BR?

9:44 am

yes

9:44 am

dad used to tell stories of things like that when he was little...

9:44 am

oh, if that was a 21st year, that means another one is due THIS year

9:44 am

what's the mean, hurshy?

9:45 am

in little house, when they were in the dakota territory, before the long winter set in, this indian came in to warn them

9:45 am

he said every seven years there was "heap big snow" and every third of those cycles there was "heap HEAP big snow"

9:46 am

oh, cute! ;)

9:46 am

i don't think it was meant to be cute

9:46 am

it was impressive, you know, the native knowledge

9:46 am

the hardships settlers had to endure

9:47 am

many in sod houses

9:47 am

apparently, the last snow blizzard that occurred around here was 69 years ago (or something like that, I'll have to check the email my friend sent).

9:47 am

pa was the only one who took him seriously, the other guys were like, "pshaw", or "whatevs", to translate into modern slang.

9:48 am

oh i was definately born at the right time we get that much snow im nice and warm in house and on puter :)

9:48 am

oops...take that back...it was in 1969...

9:49 am

my mother taught school in a country schoolhouse said she walked beside the tops of utility poles and had to walk down to entrance

9:50 am

doesn't snow here very much anymore

9:50 am

the newest version of little house on the prairie, by the way, is silly. they act as if ma was all progressive and liberal, when really she was not.

9:50 am

my great-grandparents (Germans from Russia - Odessa area) immigrated to the US in about 1898...settled in ND because they were able to homestead the same size plots of land they left and, although not ideal, were familiar with the "weather conditions"

9:51 am

neat, pini

9:52 am

the isolation caused many to be stir crazy

So, they got that far, got homesick and forgot why they'd left home, is what you're saying?

9:52 am

my dad talked of moving snow out of the way to get around the farm with horses and a sled

9:53 am

i do so wish my people had settled santa monica instead of massachusetts....

9:53 am

lol

9:53 am

sort of...not sure if they were really homesick...the "rules" of working the land in Odessa had changed and they were required to pay Russia more than they were able to work the land for...

9:54 am

silly tsar, overtax the people and you get overthrown

9:54 am

when people talk of the good old days, there was a downside too

9:54 am

Catherine the Great was in rule when she opened the land to Germans to come farm...

9:54 am

Apologize and say you're "tsarry".

10:06 am

10:10 am

ah 6 clue please..and good morning everyone!

10:10 am

morning ruru

10:10 am

mostly for reading and speaking. Too many nevre learned German and the German communicties could not eeal with that, They dont want a bilingual society as the USA has

10:10 am

Germany welcomes immigrants who will bear many children. Currently their ratio of workers and retirees is 1:1

10:12 am

sadly, my relatives who were born/raised/and still live in ND only speak German, they don't read or write it at all...

hi everyone! it's sleeting here, nasty day.

10:14 am

hey TO

10:14 am

hello, TO sleeting is not good

good day for cookie baing

10:14 am

hi jacq and TO

10:14 am

I once had an adult student who grew up in ND. Many children came into kindergarten speaking only German. The teacher sent them home to leanr Englsih and come back in 6 months (tht lady is now in her 80"S

10:14 am

Inge :: seems you know quite a bit about the history...

10:15 am

I was a history major!!! Mostly European history

10:15 am

I learned German when I lived in Germany; however, sadly, lost all of it when I returned to the USA at 4yo...

10:15 am

Wait, inge, if they came *from* home speaking only German, how would sending them *back* home help?

10:15 am

is it a good day for cookie eating?

not for me. can't eat them at present.

10:16 am

Nice, Inge...perhaps we can have another conversation about this G/R history...I've been working on my family's genealogy for many many years...

10:16 am

sorry for that TO, will you be able to eat proper xmas dinner?

i think so if i continue on the healing path. *crosses fingers*

10:17 am

For years I had auto company children, who had learned German while over there, as students in my g"German maintenance" course. US school dont start langauges early enough.

bbl happy babbling

10:17 am

crosses fingers for TO too

10:18 am

I so agree, Inge. That's one of the reasons I lost what I'd learned. In fact, to this day, I can grasp the general gist of a conversation but cannot read, write, or speak it...

10:18 am

bbl to finish, must scoot

10:18 am

That was the parents' problem. Neighbors, radio, etc

10:19 am

OK, I'm confused about the timeline now, Inge. If that teacher is now in her 80s, then that was 50, 60 years ago? Just how big *was* the German auto indistry then?

10:19 am

(I was in Germany because my father was in the military, we lived in Darmstadt and Aushafenberg; stationed at Frankfurt)

10:19 am

none of the schools start early enough, my mum used to work in north wales, where welsh was the first language, but almost everyone was fluent in english too, mum was always amazed to hear students with special needs speaking both languages without any hesitation

10:20 am

I lived in Seligenstadt 1944 -47. Beautiful historic town, founded by Eginhard, scribe to Charlemagne.

10:20 am

jac - send a few of those welsh kids over this way to help with the grids!

10:21 am

lol tri

10:21 am

I don't remember much of Germany from when we lived there (I was only 6mo to 4yo)

10:21 am

All German kids speak standard German and their local dialect. Bothers me when they want teachers to speak Black Englsih

10:21 am

i was humming along this morning, and suddenly - grid lock! I should run out and do a few errands before it gets really gnarly out there, but it is so warm and cozy here.....

10:22 am

What is Black English?

10:22 am

I know what you mean, Trif...the Uni is still on a 2-hour delay (at least for now)

10:23 am

yes, I think I will make a good choice, and run out for a bit. back later gators!

If a woodchuck could chuck wood, he would and should chuck wood. But if woodchucks can't chuck wood, they shouldn't and wouldn't chuck wood. Though were I a woodchuck, and I chucked wood, I would chuck wood with the best woodchucks that chucked wood.

11:11 am

One queer choir quavered queasy quatrains and the other queer choir quavered none.

11:11 am

Using the formula: (W + I) * C where W = the constant of wood, which is well known to be 61, as agreed in many scientific circles. I = the variable in this equation, and stands for the word "if" from the original problem. As there are three circumstances, with 0 equaling the chance that the woodchuck cannot chuck wood, 1 being the theory that the woodchuck can chuck wood but chooses not to, and 2 standing for the probability that the woodchuck can and will chuck wood, we clearly must choose 2 for use in this equation. C = the constant of Chuck Norris, whose presence in any problem involving the word chuck must there, is well known to equal 1.1 of any known being, therefore the final part of this calculation is 1.1. As is clear, this appears to give the answer of (61 + 2) * 1.1 = (63) * 1.1 = 69.3. However, Chuck Norris' awesome roundhouse kick declares that all decimal points cannot be used in formulas such as this, and so it must be rounded to the final solution of 69 units of wood.

11:11 am

that one takes the cake, babrab

11:12 am

Gonna copy-pasyte that one, BR. And your interesting dissertation, Pinikula.

11:13 am

Oh, how we have wandered!!!

11:13 am

I give up-- BabRab has clearly trounced me.

11:14 am

i agree

11:15 am

Found this one - UGH!!!

11:15 am

My brain is mush anyway. Went to Walter's school dinner yesterdy, ahd to make 50 gotlet chicken pieces and take them. Also frantic about school-- all going well I get my degree in one month. But what the heck... one eager eagle eased into the eaves and another eager eagle eased east. But as I said BabRab one so that's just a futile parting shot...

11:15 am

Mr. See owned a saw. And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw. Now, See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw Before Soar saw See, Which made Soar sore. Had Soar seen See's saw Before See sawed Soar's seesaw, See's saw would not have sawed Soar's seesaw. So See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw. But it was sad to see Soar so sore just because See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.

11:15 am

it's a toughie!

11:15 am

What?

11:16 am

Ah, GOOD one!

11:16 am

How about a German tongue twister? Zwischen zwei Zwetschgenzweigen zwiltlchern zwei zwitschernde Schwalben. Gong again.\

11:17 am

oh, my, Inge...there's a lot of SHHHHHH's in that one!!!

11:17 am

I have yet to gong, so gonging again would be tricky... Good one Inge!

11:18 am

This is not a toungue twister, but it IS a real Dutch word only used officially once and then quoted freely: hottentottententententoenstelling.

11:18 am

zwei = 2?

11:18 am

a spelling error in the 4th word. Should be zwitschern, and gong is supposed to be gone. I better let the dog out now

11:18 am

that's real, MG????

11:18 am

fireworks

11:18 am

I've heard the term "Hottentotten"...

11:18 am

It means "an exhibition of Hottentot tents". The cultural museum used it on a poster.

11:18 am

wtg peri

11:18 am

Yay Peri!

11:19 am

congrats, peri

11:19 am

thanks, going to make some pumpkin bread, it is really good, happy babbling

11:19 am

either way, MG...it's one long word!!!

11:19 am

Hottentotten = Hottentots (-en makes plural here). Tenten = tents. Tentoenstelling = exhibition. The Dutch run words together as the norm.

11:19 am

bye for now

11:20 am

I actually know a dutch word! (amazing)

11:20 am

have fun, peri!

11:20 am

It has the most repetitions of "ten" in any Dutch word.

11:21 am

You know several. "Gang" = going. Ganplank: board for going. Gangway: way for going. Trap = stairs. Deur = door. Trapdeur: door with stairs, or over stairs. Platform: literally flat shape.

11:22 am

OK, got to dish up rice and pork chops. Back later. Have fun all!

11:23 am

cool, MG...a lesson learned today and I didn't have to go to the Uni (we've go snow so I dont' have to go to work)!

Back for a sec... A major experiment is underweigh. Walter always wants rice with butter and soy sauce for dinner. Today I told him he needs to start eating more things, and that he should tell me something I can put on his rice the way Daddy and I eat rice. After much thought (and me rejecting cheese), he chose carrots, but specified that they needed to be cooked in soy sauce and butter. Which I have done. Dannny will be home late tonight so Walter gets to eat alone-- well, as the only one eating-- so I said we could do that in the living room. Let's see if he eats this... it'll be a breakthrough if he does... he is one fussy eater!

11:38 am

I love Costa Rica

11:38 am

warm there

11:38 am

how old is walter mg?

11:38 am

it's humid here, but no sun

11:39 am

Walter is 4.

11:39 am

ahh ok..had me worried for a second there

11:39 am

great MG!

11:39 am

my kid will eat everything but the bark off the trees

11:39 am

No, he's not 15 or something.

11:39 am

u should check out the book Jerry Seinfeld's wife published about how to sneak vegetables and fruits into kids' food

11:40 am

yup,you can sneak carrots and or peas in home made beef patties for example

11:40 am

I'll look into that. But he does get a balanced diet, he does eat enough for that, but only the same things all the time.

11:40 am

He will not eat beef patties.

11:40 am

Can I assume all the W words start with WO?

11:41 am

my boys were picky punks as tots and now they are eating guts, gonads, gizzards and every freakin thing

11:41 am

but dont become a kitchen slave to the little guy,he also has to learn that it is not a restaurant either

11:41 am

Not that he is off meat-- he adores the ground beef sausage from teh butcher downstairs and we always have to stop in there.

11:42 am

Don't worry Cross. I know better than that. I make sure there is something he at least tolerates but other than that dinner time is whatever we are all eating.

11:42 am

good stuff

11:42 am

yes phaeton

11:43 am

idiots in action.... http://www.bluemountain.ca/grand_centr al_lodge_web_cam.asp

11:43 am

If it's something new and he really doesn't like it after he DOES eat a bit I will condescend to getting some brown bread and cheese and ham for him.

11:44 am

thank you flosey

do all the w's start with the same 4 letters?

11:44 am

yes fuquay

11:45 am

yay! W's done!

11:45 am

OK, he says he's full (and after the lunch he had I'm sure that's true, and after he ate that much of THIS I won't quibble). Off for teeth brushing, story time, and bed for him! Catch you folks later!

12:22 pm

I thought I has a brilliant brain this morning,then I found out everyone is finding it easier than normal :(

12:23 pm

yep

1:38 pm

bye folks

ty for the pumpkin bread, peri! must haste to the PB to get some!

ooh, a double. do I get two slices?

1:45 pm

when you started as a potter, fuq, did your hands take a beating?

they were sore at first, because I got entranced with throwing and spent hours at it. wintertime, you get skin cracks from having your hands wet.

1:48 pm

You have nice pieces

ty! I haven't been doing much lately, for various reasons, but hope to get back to it one day soon

have you ever tried it, br?

hello everyone!

hello spacemonkey

hi fuquayvarina

so how is everyone today? i see you changed your icon BR :)

just trying to stay awake on this slow afternoon at work. down to my last 6 words on this grid. no list yet

how are you?

2:01 pm

gah. bloody husband talked at me for an hour

i'm just getting started :) I just got home from grocery shopping, and paying bills. I'm also getting ready for our little vacation. (me and my husband are going to michigan for xmas)

and i still haven't gone shopping for presents :( No idea what to get... although i do have some ideas...

yikes, getting late for that. I feel very uninspired about Christmas this year myself

I was thinking about baking cookies to give to everyone in Michigan, but i dont know if i can bring that on the plane? Maybe in my checked baggage.. idk

2:08 pm

eveyone in Michigan? isn't that rather a lot of people? :P

not everyone! lol my husband's dad and stepmom, his grandma, and his uncle :p

hee hee silly

wow, i just realized how big today's grid is.. i'll never finish lol

2:30 pm

Anybody here?

2:31 pm

me!

2:31 pm

yup

2:31 pm

Did you nap, Ata?

2:31 pm

no

2:32 pm

I see you wildcat! You are here.

2:32 pm

no lol. I ended up trying to find out about character-altering drugs- things like oxytocin use for shyness

2:33 pm

Whoa, it makes you unconscious and then you forget about social anxiety.

did anyone get cw4/10 yet? if so can i get a hint?

2:33 pm

phantom = tsetse

2:33 pm

cw + Middle School (abbrev)

2:34 pm

No vowels, monkey--Welsh, I think.

2:34 pm

does it? I've been trying to find out how many true character-altering drugs there are (not just mood altering, but permanent while the drug is being taken)

2:34 pm

just for background for a story, I hate not getting science things right

ty Scrabbler

2:35 pm

Have you ever read, Listening to Prozac, by Dr Peter Kramer--interesting book focusing on how psychiatric meds alter people's personalities

2:36 pm

....for good or for bad...will people someday take "designer drugs" that alter one's inherent temperament or personality

2:36 pm

I read it and it was the impetus for me to take SSRI's. That helped me so much

2:37 pm

yes, I read everything I could manage to find on psych meds when I got put on lithium! I was just wondering what else there is. And what happens if a "normal" person takes a psych drug - say there's a drug to dampen mania in bipolar patients, what would happen if a non-bipolar person took it?

2:37 pm

I certainly didn't take them to alter my personality

2:37 pm

sorry scrabs, you don't need medical stuff on here!

2:39 pm

when I started taking sssi's I didn't have much choice really, but reading certainly helped me decide whether I wanted to stay on them

2:40 pm

I was bulemic for more years than I can remember. That stopped immediately. Saved my life

2:40 pm

wow! that shows how dramatically they can work

2:41 pm

I have read about psychopharmacology extensively as well as I finally chose to begin SSRI tx in 1994--life-altering and life-saving!!

2:41 pm

Yes, and completely toorpedoed my libido. I take drug holidays and that works

2:41 pm

absolutely! lithium literally changed my life. for the better

2:41 pm

ATa, do you take litium and SSRI?

2:42 pm

I must say I found the doctor who was exactly right for me. That helped a lot too.

2:42 pm

yep - joy of joys - lithium and efexor at the moment

2:43 pm

venlafaxine is my current vitamin too

2:43 pm

venlafaxine is absolutely lovely. until you forget to take it one day LOL

2:43 pm

I take Cymbalta

2:44 pm

Does venlafaxine work in the same way as Prozac.

i'm so glad Lickety's list is the right one today! its sure helping me out :)

2:45 pm

I was taking some mainly anti-epilepitic med too that's also used for bipolar, but it made me sooooo ill

2:46 pm

then dizzy, dizzy, dizzy is what I have learned, Ata

2:46 pm

Yes, I get dizzy if I am off SSRI

2:46 pm

venlafaxine + duloxetine (Cymbalta) are SSRI/NERIs

2:46 pm

Lamotrigine. thats the one that made me feel sooooo ill

2:47 pm

yes. dizzy. dizzydizzy. but not constantly. about 75% of the time, but I can never tell when it'll appear. And also I notice my depth perception changes

2:47 pm

Prozac is s straight SSRI

2:47 pm

What is a NERI?

2:47 pm

nor-epinephrine reuptake inhibitor

2:48 pm

I did not do well on Prozac at all. I stated hanging out in the cellar [sheesh]

2:48 pm

*started

2:48 pm

drs tried giving me seroxat for a while (paxil). OMG. I have never felt so ill in my life

2:48 pm

SNRI is a better term--serotonin-NE reuptake inhibitor

2:49 pm

interesty, thank you Scrabs

2:50 pm

Paxil worked well for a while for me. Then my son went on it and my doctor didn't want me to be on the same meds as my son

2:50 pm

really? why not?

can i get a clue for ah6/21 please? :)

2:50 pm

everyone else I've known has responded really well to Paxil. I honestly felt like I was almost fall-over-drunk 24 hours a day. I could hardly walk

2:51 pm

a + equine

2:51 pm

He felt it best to keep family members apart. I don't question my doctor a lot. I feel supremely confident in him

2:51 pm

fair enough!

thank you ata! :D

2:52 pm

Wow, an easy grid for once. Have only one left

2:52 pm

go bichon!

2:53 pm

Off I go!

2:53 pm

2:53 pm

Congrats Ata!

3:45 pm

I love cardinals and see them at my feeders regularly.

3:45 pm

Poor Seattle. "The hills here in Seattle are icy and we just had two busses collide and slide down a hill with one of them breaking through a rail and half hanging over the main freeway through town. Both were full of teens and fortunately no one was seriously injured."

3:46 pm

Wow--**going to check that news**

3:46 pm

Ata! are not all britons birders?

That sounds great, scrabs. Here in central NC we almost never get enough snow for skiing.

3:47 pm

no!!!

3:47 pm

stereotype warning

3:47 pm

wat?

3:47 pm

are all Brits meant to be birders?

3:48 pm

the stereotype, as I understand it, is all britons love counting and categorizing things.

3:48 pm

good evening, babble friends - help me breathe after a perilous drive home in icy slush - that was scary!

3:56 pm

had to suddenly duck out earlier(friend at my door) just after asking for clue for my last 2 words...

3:56 pm

any help for the last SH6-7 pair please?

3:56 pm

JBV glad you made it home safely

3:57 pm

TY, fuqua--I found it now

3:57 pm

((JBV))it was treacherous here too!

3:57 pm

thanks, car - or should I call you eeyore?

3:57 pm

ty fuq!

3:58 pm

hi, scrabbler! so glad it's Friday - planning to stay in for the weekend, make soup, etc. try to relax a little....

3:58 pm

FOUR CONSONANTS??!

3:58 pm

I have to work tomorrow, but only from 9-1 then I am off til Monday at 1.

3:58 pm

that's good, scrabs - enjoy your weekend

3:58 pm

Ata--it is USUALLY spelled with 4 consonants but here it is 3 + vowel

3:59 pm

ohhhhh ok. I misunderstood. ty!

3:59 pm

How is husband, JBV?

pug, the sh 6/7 pair also starts with three consonants, not ones usually found together in English words. Means a Jewish village in eastern Europe.

4:00 pm

lots of good progress, scrab - he' s moving around better, eating more or less normally (little appetite) but we have a few concerns - doctor's post-op visit next tuesday, so we'll see ...

4:00 pm

and we haven't had them in the grid for a while

4:00 pm

Post-op healing is slow

4:00 pm

will keep trying to monkey

4:01 pm

I know, unfortunately, he's had many surgeries, too so even slower for him - did I mention he's also on Coumadin for a blood clot they discovered int he hospital? so does that interfere with healing?

time to go home. real poof. Google the definition if you get frustrated, pug.

4:02 pm

I don't believe it inhibits healing, just clotting.

4:02 pm

Bye fuqua

4:03 pm

sh + Vietnamese holiday + I hope you *ike this clue.

4:05 pm

I have to go give the bunnies their salads. BRB.

4:06 pm

thanks scrabbler! that is a very weird word...

4:06 pm

ty vm scrabbs!! & fireworks

4:06 pm

congrats pug!

4:07 pm

monkeys had come extremely close but failed

4:08 pm

fuqua--do you by any chance attend business school in the south?

4:08 pm

mazel tov pug. that's quite a holiday image you have there!

4:08 pm

i hope he's a very close friend

4:08 pm

pretty nice eh?

4:08 pm

aw, missed him I guess

4:09 pm

if no, may I have him?

4:09 pm

no sadly just lovely eye candy...

4:09 pm

Oh Pug! Thank you for the Christmas *eye*candy!

4:10 pm

de nada , enjoy

4:12 pm

Does anyone have the ho5/12, ho6/21, ho6/21?

4:13 pm

equine, geological feature, geological features

4:14 pm

OK. I need more of a hint for the 2 geological feature words. Not much of a scientist here.

4:15 pm

one letter different from the equine. the last letter

4:15 pm

Thanks Ata. I wouldn't have found those words ever.

4:16 pm

:)

4:16 pm

hi everyone

4:16 pm

hi nrkii

4:16 pm

thank you ata

4:18 pm

hello again all! nrk! how are you feeling?

4:18 pm

pretty good, thanks stid!

4:18 pm

miserable work week, but recovery going well

4:18 pm

thx ata for plural on geology

4:19 pm

glad recovery is going well, sorry about work.

4:19 pm

how about you stid -- hows the hip?

4:19 pm

Our schools had late start Monday, regular day Tuesday... snow days since then. *sigh* my hip continues improving, but range of motion is still limited and overuse is still painful *grumpy mama look*

4:20 pm

did the MRI show anything helpful?

4:20 pm

in a town in iowa they used 8 tons of garlic sea salt to put on the icy roads. it had passed it's sell-by date.

4:20 pm

no nrk, it did not. So a month of debility for nothing. *more grump*

4:20 pm

LOL mab! good use of resources...

4:21 pm

mab, I love it

4:21 pm

I have 29 out of 30 H words. Which one is lickety missing?

4:21 pm

the town must have been pretty pungent, or it will be when the thaw comes

4:21 pm

mmm garlic!

4:21 pm

there is a spice bottler in town. I'm sorry you've been in pain - how miserable.

4:22 pm

I am back--bunnies have their salads.

4:22 pm

sorry to hear that stid -- hate it when tests show nothing

4:22 pm

Minski, Lickety's not ...you are

4:22 pm

it makes the truckers' eyes water.

4:22 pm

hello scrabbler! salad sounds good.

4:22 pm

welcome scrabbler!

4:23 pm

yes, me too. The ortho will consult with someone he knows to ask about what else to do or look for.

4:24 pm

oops you're right. I'm missing an ho.

4:24 pm

but otherwise things are going pretty well. I do like the look of the snow as long as I don't have to drive in it

4:24 pm

firebirds!

4:25 pm

ho 4.9

4:25 pm

YAY atalante!!!

4:25 pm

I saw the news about the busses in Seattle--hanging over the freeway

4:25 pm

I keep listening to the plow and shovels all day -- worked from home today as I can drive in bad weather with one arm

4:25 pm

yahoo Ata!

4:25 pm

ah..........the last ho 6/21. anyone?

4:25 pm

4:25 pm

4:25 pm

4:25 pm

got it thanks

4:26 pm

baby fussing gotta go. later,

4:26 pm

later minski!

4:26 pm

Oh, the bus drivers were warned?

4:26 pm

Bye Minski

4:27 pm

yes, there were people at the top of the hill waving their arms and screaming (Thomas street dead-ends on Melrose which runs right alongside I-5)

4:27 pm

gah! stupid bus drivers!

4:27 pm

it is obvious the bus drivers were not familiar with Seattle streets and did not understand the conditions.

4:27 pm

Oh, dear, that makes it wo5! A preventable accident.

4:28 pm

Is the last co7 a variation of the words before it?

4:28 pm

on the other hand, no one really got hurt -- fortunately there were no pedestrians or cars along melrose at the time

4:28 pm

yep

4:28 pm

yes, but smaller

4:29 pm

how can OH4 work but "mohs" doesn't?

4:29 pm

Spell oh4 backwards

4:29 pm

change the m and h

4:31 pm

*thinking* do I understand you ladies???

4:31 pm

hmmm, that sh6/21 that is the New England way of describing a safe place for homeless people really messed me up

4:31 pm

I have two oh 4... *thinking more*

4:31 pm

take mohs. oops. change round the h and o

4:31 pm

Well, take oh*, reverse it, then pluralize it--that is more clear.

4:32 pm

4:39 pm

4:39 pm

NY baseball player + consumed food

4:39 pm

Mexican corn grinder? Hm, I did watch Like Water for Chocolate the other night.

hey all hey nrk how are you???

4:39 pm

TY, N

4:39 pm

hey TO!

4:40 pm

I learn so much on this site!

4:40 pm

Hi Owl

4:40 pm

hi TO, good thanks!

how are you healing?

4:41 pm

better each day... managing shoulder pain through tylenol, but having some other strange arthritis like thing going on with fingers and toes that is ANNOYING

4:41 pm

My sister, Lisa, had her gall bladder removed Wed and she is recovering at home--she left the hospital5 hrs later.

4:41 pm

I wanted to take an axe to my wrists the other night

4:41 pm

Aw, my poor puppy just got back from the vet. She got spayed, I feel so bad for her! She is so quiet and she just lays in her cage. :(

4:41 pm

she's be fine tomorrow, itsonme. bouncing aroundmadly

4:42 pm

gall bladder surgery - been there

4:42 pm

Poor baby, itsonme. Do you have pain meds?

OUCH nrk! guess they disturbed something

4:42 pm

I think my body is just in a bit of spasm from the shock of surgery

4:42 pm

Both sides, nrk?

4:42 pm

wow scrabs, they do rush them a bit nowadays, yes?

4:42 pm

poor puppy.

4:43 pm

both sides... I get this once in a while (Dad has RA and I have psoriasis) but usually only lasts one day at most

4:43 pm

Yes, insurance companies dictate patient care

4:43 pm

and usually manageable with Aleve and hot bath

4:43 pm

Gall bladder surgery wasn't bad... was much better than the month leading up to it

i htought that was what i had when i woke up in the wee hours on Tuesday

4:44 pm

ooh... bad back pain TO?

4:44 pm

I had my GB removed in early 1990 before the laparoscopic technique was routine. The post-op pain was excruciating.

4:44 pm

oh TO -- not you too?

not me too what?

4:45 pm

owie scrabs!

4:45 pm

not you too feeling icky!!! *worried mama look*

4:45 pm

Scrab... I had mine done in 2001, laparoscopically thank goodness... the post op pain was bad, but not constant and didn't go on too long... only hurt if I got in bad position or laughed or coughed

apparentlyi have divertiulitis. first time. and there is what appears to be groundwater seeping up through my basement floor.

4:46 pm

this is a popular time of year for gall bladder issues, I think

4:46 pm

oh, my mom has diverticulitis... I sympathize TO!!!

4:46 pm

hoping the groundwater isn't an analogy for something medical?

4:46 pm

Double trouble, Owl.

4:47 pm

no nuts or seeds!

well a rich diet will bring on an attack

4:47 pm

but either way, that doesn't sound good. We don't have a basement...

4:47 pm

I wondered the same thing, Stid--code for bowel issues?

4:47 pm

yes Taco Bell was what did me in (and I didn't even enjoy it) back in 2001 -- haven't been back since

nrk doc says not so, just something routine got suck, irritated it, and cannot escape without being treated. i have the joy of two antibiotics and one gives me the shakes.

4:48 pm

rofl scrabs!

4:48 pm

Mexican food precipitated my GB attack too--I watched myself become jaundiced during the night before I decided to go to the ER

sorry that was to be "stuck" and no, real grond water.

4:48 pm

TO - maybe clogged gutter diverting all this nasty ice water in wrong place?

4:48 pm

oh dear, TO *offers soothing heating pad and sips of tea*

4:48 pm

I didn't know gall bladder could cause jaundice!

began last night BEFORE the rain.

4:49 pm

oh, that's good news then TO... my mom can't have nuts or seeds or she eventually ends up regretting it... but she does crazy stuff and eats power bars with almonds thinking it's okay

4:49 pm

my great-grandmother had gall bladder issues -- eventually took her out, post-surgical sepsis. My grandfather was only ten

4:49 pm

Yes, Stid--I had a stone blocking my common bile duct so bile could not exit the liver and I got hepatitis and jaundice. I needed 5 days of antibiotics before I could have surgery

4:50 pm

my mom's mom same, stid, when my mom was 10

nrkii i was so afraid it was something else, actually have had the township the handy mand nad the washer reapair guys out, they can only tell me what it is not.

4:50 pm

Oh, no, Stid--how tragic!!

4:50 pm

dang, i missed the opporunity to buy the perfect tee...check it out http://shirt.woot.com/

4:50 pm

wow nrk... sounds like she lives in Egypt (near d'nile?)

4:50 pm

oh sorry to disappear like that! we do not have pain meds.

4:50 pm

that must have been painful scrabbler.

4:50 pm

Hi Nutty

4:50 pm

hi scrabsy

4:50 pm

Your vet gave you no pain meds, itsonme????

4:51 pm

its -- I don't know how old the puppy is, I can sometimes give my dogs baby aspirin -- maybe call the vet and ask?

hey nut. sscrabs its' no picnic i am sure. but i can't even get an ultrasound till christmas eve morning.

4:51 pm

scrbas: an abdominal ultrasound.

4:53 pm

hello feather! *takes careful aim...*

4:53 pm

4:57 pm

My sister lost over 10 lbs between first GB attack (11/27) and surgery 12/17.

4:57 pm

oh TO... I was really sick in June and lost probably 15 lbs. Then since the hip problems started four weeks ago I think I have gained it all back

4:57 pm

hee, yeah, he's a lot more subtle than daniel sometimes, only in that he doesn't have as many words.

4:57 pm

*grin* they can do that, for sure!

4:57 pm

Ts toppled. 45

4:57 pm

nick is currently drinking milk and ignoring his chocolate cake bite. who is this child? can't be mine!

4:58 pm

LAST SH 6/7 please?

4:59 pm

so i get to tell nick about 3,000 times a day to not touch or otherwise destroy the tree and ornaments. the other day he was leaning into the toybox, and his feet hit the tree. i said "no, not even your feet" jokingly. wouldn't you know it, he stands up, turns around, and raises his foot to touch the tree!

4:59 pm

then there was today. crawled under the tree, found the big button that turns the lights on and off, and suddenly i had a blinking lights tree.

4:59 pm

*gasp!* oh dear! rofl

LOL

how old is nick?

5:00 pm

5:07 pm

opp of slowest

Diverticulitis? Yes, you might have recurrences because it is secondary to diverticulosis.

metro...can't remember, flagyl and levaquin. the levaquin is a killer.

5:11 pm

FIREWORDSSSSS!!!!!

5:28 pm

With Babble open, I started a new Internet Explorer and pulled up Babble again and then selected the Lickety list. Then it was just manipulating the size of each screen.

5:28 pm

Hi Takuma--where/how have you been?

5:28 pm

Oh! Now you tell me! Here I was so proud...

5:28 pm

Van--you can e-mail Lickety and ask for Babble Expert--a browser to make lpaying MUCH easier

5:29 pm

6:31 pm

I try to get as many as I can without

6:32 pm

me too

6:32 pm

easy fish sometimes

6:33 pm

I get most of my words just monkeying around, and an appalling number are actually typos that turn out to be words. Got several in this grid.

6:33 pm

sometimes I just remember seeing weird words in other grids

6:34 pm

yes, I am having that experience also. I try to check the definitions for the words I don't know, so I will at least learn something. The Welsh words punish.

8:41 pm

safe travels, Lind. take extra blankets and flashlight..check the batteries

8:42 pm

thank you, ib & jac

my "baby" leaves Monday headed for Philippines. I told him tonight he'd better start watching what that next storm's going to do, as he transfers to trans-Pacific flight in Detroit - and be prepared

8:42 pm

y/w, mrae.

good advice, dawg. that's why the flashlight in my glove box is the crank-up kind

8:43 pm

hope he's not flying north first, tyger. he might get stranded in any of the airports north of the mason dixon line

8:43 pm

Our 'babies' never cease to worry us, do they tyger?

don't have to worry about batteries

that's exactly what he's doing, dawg. his first leg is JAN - DTW (Jackson, MS to Detroit)

nope, jac. they surely don't

8:44 pm

Hope he's checking the weather channel as well as all the airport closures.

Detroit to Manila. He picks up a local flight from Manila to Cebu. GF is meeting him in Manila, tho

doesn't have cable or dish, dawg. property he's on is on a side road, and nearly 1/4 mile back from it. It would cost him over $1000 to get cable

8:45 pm

is he going there for pleasure or business?

pleasure, dawg, to see his fiance

8:45 pm

Any clues still needed while I'm awake? I'm off here for a week after the sleep.

8:47 pm

Tyger - I can sleep in the car on the journey. Not quite ready to sleep right now, having ben rushing around all day.

8:47 pm

may I have help with the second sa 5/12 and the sa 5/10 please?

bet most of you didn't know where that sh4 came from :)

8:48 pm

sa4.4 + letter after L, car

8:48 pm

past tense and plural of the sa4/4

8:48 pm

sa5.10 is plural of the sa4.4

8:49 pm

car - sa5.12 = was seated + sound of 'm'.

sa5/12 is word for a branch of Indo-European languages

8:49 pm

enlighten me, tyger. where did sh4. come from.

8:49 pm

Thank you all! I was having a major brain cramp!

it was a cartoon character in the L'il Abner comic strip

a sorta shapeless critter

8:50 pm

sa5/10 = is satisfies.

8:50 pm

that's where it originated? i remember the character. always thought it was a Yiddish word.

it looked like a vast distortion of the Pillsbury doughboy

could have been, dawg. I only know I saw it in the comics when I was a little kid

8:51 pm

sh4/6 is Yiddish for dickhead.

I don't know a huge number of Yiddish words. probably more than most, but hey, it's an entire language

8:51 pm

yes, lots of good yiddish today in the SHs :)

8:51 pm

Or. more properly, Yiddish for 'fool'.

very, very true - esp the mo5 :D

oh, my! I just realized I need to make a phone call before it's too late! back soon

8:53 pm

lil abner's character had double vowels at the end

8:54 pm

sh+ cow sound for that character.

8:55 pm

1st mo5, pls?

8:56 pm

mo+ ***ls angels

8:56 pm

May I please have a clue for le5-12? Thanks

8:57 pm

dcs - mo + part of Troy's 'angel'.

8:57 pm

le+ *** End

8:58 pm

le5.12 = French male 'the' plus definite article I just typed.

8:58 pm

Will look om on grid for Saturday, but if it's more than 250, won't be doing it. Off on holiday at lunchtime.

9:16 pm

the last wo?

9:16 pm

actually the last two wo

9:16 pm

it is a plural or the 5 above a few

9:16 pm

The most bads, shirlock.

back, finally

9:16 pm

wo8/65 is the plural of the old fabric, wo7/48.

9:16 pm

the next to last is also plural

9:17 pm

Hi again, tyger. Hope your 'phonecall went well.

wo7-8 is a kind of wool fabric & pl

9:17 pm

got the wo8, now the last one ...

9:18 pm

Shirlock - plural the wo5/18.

9:18 pm

it's plural of the 5

she was on long distance, am now waiting callback. I should probably go fix food. haven't had dinner yet

9:18 pm

k got it, thx for the clues

the woman who comes in to do housework, etc for me dislocated her shoulder the other day, and they wouldn't put it back at the ER she went to. she never told me that before

9:19 pm

How quick is the callback going to be, Tyger? Before you start making dinner.

9:19 pm

merry merry everyone, hope you don't have to travel in this weather -- US eastern seaboard that is

shir, what beautiful coloring on the kitty!

9:19 pm

Wouldn't put it back, tyger? WHY?

9:19 pm

she is a cutie

I dunno, jac. probably not long. I'm going to suggest she go to a different ER, one that will have ortho residents

they made an appt next week with an orthopod. isn't that crazy!!!???!!

in the meantime, she's in pain - of course

9:21 pm

I have heard of that before...not putting a dislocation back into place...in an ER.

I'm upset - understandably, I think

you just hafta go to the right hospital - one that has ortho residents on call

9:22 pm

fa5.16 fa8.70 that the fa7.40 fa5.16 are fa5.18 to failure

Hi hi all. Tyger - suggest she walk into a physio clinic that specializes in sport injury

I've had dislocations - of my hip after replacement. that's horrific pain

hye, moon

9:22 pm

I could relocate her shoulder, so why can't anyone there?

9:22 pm

sorry to hear tyger, is it fixed now, i hope?

9:22 pm

If the dislocation is severe enough, they want the patient to be treated by the ortho specialist who definitely knows what they are doing!!! Think of all the specialties even in the ortho field. If they want her to wait for the right person to do the replacement, I would wait!

there's a different hosp here that does a LOT of ortho work. I'm gonna tell her to go there

9:22 pm

good sugestion, autumn

dc, I had to have a revision of the hip - after 4 dislocations. I think I'm at least a bit knowledgeable :P

9:23 pm

Yes. The hospital with more ortho would definitely be better...but the doctor she needs may still not be readily available.

9:23 pm

UK hospitals must be a little differnet to UK ones.

they are, by all I've heard, jac

(friends were horsing around, kind of drunk, a couple injuries... they went to the sports physio clinic and told them they were playing rugby that got a little rough)

9:24 pm

goodness, tyger, i'd not a clue, what a lot to go through

but it's a teaching hosp, car.e

yeah. but that was 10 years ago, dc

9:24 pm

why say u that US hospitals must be different from UK ones, jac?

9:24 pm

See. So the "right" doc may not be there when she goes and she would still have to wait.

dc, you really don't want to hear my medical history; trust me! ;P

9:25 pm

i do trust you tyger :)

um, do you know what "on call" means, car.e?

I have 72 to find so I am going on the search...

go, moon. this really isn't a bad grid

just a bit strange

9:26 pm

dcs - I say that because someone would be on call to come at reset it.

9:26 pm

Yes. Both my parents are doctors. They would see plenty of patients that they then had to refer to another doctor, as that particular injury/illness was not their expertise. Especially if there are complications (pinched nerve, etc) that may make the relocation more difficult.

exactly, jac! here, too, at the right hospital

9:27 pm

yes, what tyger said, but not at every hospital here

there are 2 hospitals here in Jackson that are teaching hospitals. the one I propose for her does at least 50% of all joint work in the region

they have orthopods out the ears

it's where my knee replacement was done

9:29 pm

de5 dawn, what's that flower you got on? could it be a faded rose from day gone by?

hi all :)

hey, mrp! thx for setting Lickety straight :D

9:29 pm

hello, mrp

9:29 pm

Well, I now realise that living so near to as many hospitals as I do, including the Birmigham Orathapaedic is a blessing.

9:29 pm

Hi MrP.

10:20 pm

I work with all the progressive religious lobbyists and we had a meeting today. .. . with. . . .

10:20 pm

* waiting with baited breath *

10:21 pm

the faith liaison of the Obama transition team. . .

10:21 pm

and I walked away a lot more hopeful and even a little excited

10:21 pm

was it an interesting meeting?

double Blinks OM That is AWESOME

10:22 pm

it was interesting. Both because of what was said and what wasn't said

10:22 pm

would love to have been a mouse in the room for that one! ;)

10:22 pm

under the last administration [grrrr] all of the progressive religious groups were completely cut off; now we are being invited in

10:23 pm

so that is pretty exciting

What sort of Religious lobist are you?

Not wanting a debate just curious

10:23 pm

my basic issue is: war bad; peace good

ok

10:24 pm

www.centeronconscience.org

Thank you. I am interested in a lot of stuff its nice to learn

10:24 pm

but it was interesting to hear the meetings on the different issues being set up with the progressive religious leaders.

10:25 pm

... 6

It is interesting to hear all points of view. GO pini

10:26 pm

10:27 pm

well its nice to see that a government is thinking outside the box

10:27 pm

It must be difficult to be heard by the transition team - there are so many issues and people and groups and lobbyists. Hurray for you!

11:55 pm

hey stiddy

11:55 pm

of course the prozac helps.....

11:55 pm

oh, sorry, ruru. I saw the movie, but have never read the book. usually it's the other way around

11:56 pm

LOL stid!!! Ain't it the pits!

11:56 pm

Jilli, I'm chuckling and the poopies are now more curious at why I'm chuckling!

11:56 pm

what are you coating the floor with??? *curious mama look*

11:56 pm

hey, stiddie!

11:56 pm

hi stid

11:56 pm

hi stif

11:56 pm

I could never babble and mop at the same time..

11:56 pm

stid [blush]

11:56 pm

the pits indeed jilli, loved the email

11:56 pm

I can babble and eat at the same time though

11:56 pm

LOLOL, ruru

11:57 pm

oh you have no idea jill -- called in the afternoon to see if the stidkid who is at his best friends' house was ready to come home. he wasn't. THEN. and at 7 pm (refrozen roads, dark...) he called almost in tears and could I go pick him up. The answer, unfortunately, was no. He and his best friend had a fight. *sigh* we'll retrieve him tomorrow

11:57 pm

yay, harp! I just saw

11:57 pm

I hear ya stid..

11:57 pm

flosey, oh my, stid!

11:57 pm

black ice is scary

11:58 pm

wait wait -- prozac??? *wonders if it would help me too*

11:58 pm

hey flosey!

11:58 pm

yes, that email was VERY silly jill --

11:58 pm

prozac?

11:58 pm

kids, stid. you never know what they'll do next. that may be for the best. he needs to learn coping skills (we all do, especially in the teen years)

11:58 pm

that message started with asking flosey who clears her long driveway, then morphed into a comment about the stranded stidkid -- sorry!

11:59 pm

by morning they may have made up

11:59 pm

Tom mopped our bedroom floor today. We are rearranging it so the books can go on the longest wall (need more space to consolidate the library, and living room is almost wall-less)

11:59 pm

wall-less living room? all doors & windows? sounds challenging

11:59 pm

which stidkid, stid?

11:59 pm

yes, exactly tyger -- the mother was out and about when he called (they have 4-wheel drive) so I encouraged him to talk to her when she returned. I suspect things are calmer now

11:59 pm

the younger one jill -- the elder doesn't go to friends' houses.
