ruru, the def is nice.

But, jilli, it is amusing nonetheless. A good clue is a joy even if you have the word.

12:40 am

12:45 am

mmm -- long wait

12:45 am

I'm off to bed -- see you tomorrow :)

12:45 am

yeah.. mom is still wanting peace and quiet.

12:46 am

well, I enjoy, ruru. I'm also listening to TV

12:46 am

The big grids give the illusion of easiness because you get to type frantically as the words fill in...

12:46 am

bye nan.. I should head out too... night all..good luck jilli, and Flosey.. knock them down

12:46 am

Anyway, I'm in no hurry

12:47 am

Good luck all, off to check on the faucets outside tonight so the pipes don't freeze.

12:47 am

lol

12:48 am

where are you, jan?

12:48 am

Seattle. Are you in Western Canada?

12:49 am

just north of you, jan -- Salt Spring Island, BC

12:49 am

Seattle is where the words "canadian air mass" strike fear into the hearts of homeowners.

12:49 am

http://xkcd.com/672/ - if on FB, you should see that comic. it's totally ROFLMAO

12:49 am

Ah, Salt Spring Island--how lucky!!

12:50 am

as Arctic Outflow fill us with dread (courtesy of Alaska)

12:50 am

Wonder who the Alaskans blame??

12:51 am

Well, they can see Russia from there :)

12:51 am

Wel,, enjoy the puzzle, jilli, and keep warm!!

12:51 am

Alaskans blame Russia, no?

I hear I is looking for a p?

12:57 am

well enough that I'll be at bridge tomorrow -- with cough drops

12:58 am

oh, good, see you there

12:58 am

she's not looking any more -- will play with Gisela the next week when I have to be in Vic and miss the Xmas do :(

12:59 am

THAT should be interesting!

1:00 am

ah, sorry you'll miss the Christmas do, but yes, will be an interesting match

1:01 am

mismatch, I think!

1:01 am

well if a match is made in heaven, where is a mismatch made? hahaha

1:03 am

I look forward to reports, lol!

1:03 am

I do hope we play them

1:04 am

I hope so too!

1:04 am

Gesila has such a great sense of humour, perhaps she'll even make I laugh at herself?

1:05 am

Maybe.

1:06 am

she and I got into a bit of a giggle one night - unfortunately at her p's expense

1:08 am

I gave I a brief summary of responses to transfers the other day (she hasn't a clue) and begged her to read it. Talked to her on the phone and she said she had done so, but in trying to discuss it she didn't even know what it was about and thought it was about the 2NT 12-15 point count response

1:08 am

Frustrating.

1:09 am

yes, I find it strange, she is a smart woman but sometimes she can give you such a vacant stare

1:10 am

Doesn't want to hear about anything new.

1:10 am

New to her.

1:10 am

lol, was just going to say new since when

1:11 am

you'll find a bit of that in the AH games

1:11 am

fireworks and now on that note im heading to bed have fun all

hehehe funny pet, jilli. Never had one either. But I bet my kids would love one.

1:47 am

hi sprite!

1:48 am

firewords :)

1:48 am

hi jilli :)

1:48 am

and wtg dear friend.

1:49 am

That IS a cute kitty, sprite :)

1:49 am

isn't it :) We used to have cats. Love to have Terra, but sometimes I miss the feline silliness and arrogance.

1:53 am

well, you could get a cat too. Terra might like a pet :)

1:54 am

lol who knows!

1:55 am

today I will get the test results from the neurologist, jilli. Keep your fingers crossed for me, please? I'd love it to be something known and treatable!

1:57 am

Oh, fingers and toes crossed, sprite!

1:58 am

thanks jilli. I have a bad feeling about it... not the feeling it is something dreadful, but the feeling they couldn't reallly find the cause. So I am glad with your fingers and toes!

1:59 am

Please post the results in your bio so that I don't have to stay up tomorrow night to find out!

1:59 am

oh good idea, I will. Will be late tonight though, because afterwards I go to my sister's.

2:03 am

but late tonight for me will still be very early for you, I think. We are apart some 6 hours, right? It is 9 o'clock here right now, in the morning.

2:04 am

Just after midnight here

2:05 am

ok, 9 hours even then. When I get home tonight, it will still be afternoon at yours. All will be well :D

2:06 am

Great -- then I'll know before going to bridge, and I'm counting on good news.

2:07 am

lovely. It is wonderful, how strongly one can feel the support from babble friends. It really helps.

2:10 am

Interesting that you were thinking we were 6 hours apart -- maybe for grid time, which is Central. We have 4 time zones here -- Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific. I'm in the Pacific zone.

2:11 am

Actually, we have another one -- Newfoundland, which is a half hour diffrence from Eastern!

2:12 am

I am always finding it hard to get everybody's time straight. It is not my strong suit, lol.

2:13 am

omg 5 time zones in one country. Craziness!

2:13 am

and half an hour difference is extra tough. Most zones are in full hours.

2:13 am

And I must go to bed -- trying to get rid of this cough.

2:13 am

sleep well, jilli, and get better. *hugs*

2:14 am

I wonder if Russia has more time zones.

2:14 am

jilli: 11

2:14 am

. . . going to Google . . .

2:14 am

lol I beat you to it

2:15 am

oh, thanks! Thought it would be more, but that's a lot!

2:15 am

incredible! I would never be able to keep track.

2:15 am

more than Canada, I mean.

2:16 am

don't have to, thank goodness!

2:16 am

am truly thankful for that.

2:17 am

So off I go -- happly babbling!

2:17 am

*poof*

2:33 am

fireflies. Bye all.

3:02 am

Mari you there?

4:31 am

Is anyone here ... listening to Twilight Zone music ... Good morning

4:43 am

I'm here now, hi Merk

4:44 am

I see there are folks online, but they must be lurking or off somewhere.

4:45 am

I come & go a lot too

4:45 am

im here but feeding baby with one hand

4:45 am

I just found the co 8. That one definitely is new to me.

4:45 am

Makes typing difficult doesn't it, Brookie?

4:46 am

yes

4:48 am

mega should be a word

4:49 am

Both hands free now...

4:50 am

Were my husband home, he would know that I had gone over the edge. I got up to go to the bathroom and stayed up to babble.

4:51 am

That's not going over the edge. That's dedication.

4:52 am

At least that's how I justify it to myself. :-)

4:52 am

I started it to help my brain cells and ended up addicted. But I tell him that there are a lot worse things to be addicted to.

anyone have the no6 please?

4:53 am

And at least there are only a finite number of Babble solutions per day/grid, so at some point you have to stop each day.

4:53 am

I don't, sorry! But will look for it.

4:57 am

take the first three letters of what you breath with

just found it - thanks!

4:57 am

I thinking of how to clue the second syllable ... it is the second sound of the sound a clock makes

4:58 am

7 for pl

4:59 am

morning all

4:59 am

morning button

5:00 am

morning Merk

5:00 am

Merk, I am having trouble finding the CO 8! any clues to help please?

5:01 am

not a bad grid once you get into it.

5:01 am

hi Button

5:01 am

Hi Lynxxx

5:02 am

It was totally new to me. It builds on the co 4,5 and is a compound word ... second syllable a common girl's name.

5:02 am

clue for the co 8 please

5:02 am

co9 compound, ends in girls name

5:03 am

got it, thanks

5:05 am

Don't read on if you don't want a clue, but I finally found a new word that is easy to clue. ra 6,21 rhymes with the strongest man in the Bible.

5:05 am

TY

5:06 am

thanks merk, that is a new one for me and so was the co8

5:07 am

me, too

5:09 am

hi everyone, from dark and chilly Vermont.

5:10 am

hi Eva

5:10 am

Good morning ... it's the same here in SD.

5:10 am

I'm being stymied by the o's-have none except for the og4.

5:10 am

And yes, I am up too early to be babbling.

5:10 am

Have you guys already had a lot of snow merk?

5:10 am

have or4/8

5:11 am

og4.7 & 5.16 pair

5:11 am

oo4.4

5:11 am

it's the bottom right corner o I don't have

5:12 am

Not a lot, just enough to make the streets slippery. It flurried most of the weekend.

5:12 am

ah!

5:12 am

how could I not have seen the kinky party?!

5:12 am

if you have the co 5, take the c off.

5:14 am

that's the pair I havent found lynxx

5:15 am

got them. Thanks!

5:16 am

yw

5:16 am

How much snow have you had in Vermont?

5:17 am

yesterday we had about 2 inches. We had the same about a month ago but of course it went away. Very odd. There was a record set yesterday for the latest snow to fall in Burlington.

5:17 am

My family got 15" back in Michigan yesterday ... yikes! That will likely stay to make a white Christmas

5:17 am

yikes indeed!

5:18 am

That is unusual ... no snow ever registered before December 6 ever ....

5:19 am

Usually by Thanksgiving there is some significant coverage on the ground. If this keeps up there will be damage to plants, but has also been oddly warm a lot of the time too.

5:20 am

4 left and time to resort to the list

5:21 am

anyone have the ma 5...it is stumping me

5:21 am

Homers wife?

5:21 am

woman's name-think simpsons

5:22 am

thanks

5:23 am

... and fireworks!

5:24 am

Congrats Merk!

5:24 am

ty, now the question is ... do I bother going back to bed? It's almost 5:30 here.

5:25 am

done!

5:25 am

Congrats Eva!

5:25 am

can you fall back to sleep this late? I wonder that the incidence of insomnia is among babblers. Seems to be high

5:25 am

wtg, Eva

5:26 am

It certainly is for me.

5:27 am

For one thing there is a preponderance of women of a "certain" age -where insomnia is often an issue.

5:29 am

And more and more I know how critical getting enough sleep is to everything else. I finally gave in a couple of years ago to taking a small amount of medication and it has made a huge difference. I wish I could sleep well without it, but had tried everything else-all the herbal cures, etc and none of them helped.

5:29 am

I fall right to sleep at night, but if the furnace turns on toward morning, it seems to wake me up. Or else I have to use the bathroom, and if I look at the clock, I am doomed.

5:31 am

same here. Or, if as happened last night, on the way back from the bathroom I step on a deal mole someone had thoughtfully left on the rug next to the bed and it pops and you have to scrape molage off the bottom of your foot.

5:31 am

that was "dead" mole

5:32 am

gross ... I take it you have a gift-giving feline

5:32 am

and would that someone be Merp?

5:33 am

very generous 3 moles in the past couple of weeks. Don't know what they are doing inside of the house. Must have been a nest and I hope this is the end of them. If it was my human partner I'd be in big trouble lynxxx

5:34 am

Hello Babble buddies.

5:34 am

hi Scrabs

5:34 am

Hey, Scrabbler, where you been?

5:35 am

of course for a cat, gifting someone with a mole is giving something that you don't like, so the generosity is dubious. A bit more like "Here-I don't know what to do with this as I find it inedible so would you please make it go away?" Hi scrabbler

5:35 am

I've been checking e-mail, facebook, the news, etc. Now I can Babble.

5:35 am

Here, it would be mice. I haven't had a mole in my yard in 30 plus years, when they made a tunnel and ate all but one of my tulip bulbs.

5:35 am

I saw you were here when I was alone in the Chat box for what seemed like ages. There must have been a lot of people lunching or drinking coffee.

5:36 am

Funny-I've never had garden problems with the moles. Lots of trouble with deer, chipmunk, slugs, earwigs, but not moles.

5:36 am

I never log out of here so it always shows that I am on-line.

5:36 am

What are earwigs?

5:36 am

the sky is finally getting lighter-at 6:30. I have to keep telling myself that we are only a couple of weeks away from the solstice.

5:37 am

My daughter had three cats for a brief time in her life. She and her hubby woke up to such a racket one night and it was the cats chasing each other to see who would capture the mouse. They ended up gifting it while it was still alive.

5:37 am

Insects

5:37 am

I never log out either, does that mean I look like I am here even if laptop off?

5:37 am

I think so, Lynxxx

5:37 am

earwigs are some of the more disgusting insects on the planet. They slither and have big pincers.

5:38 am

*going to research earwigs*

5:39 am

they eat rotting vegetation and last summer was so incredibly wet here that we had a plague of them. They love lettuce especially and hide in the inner leaves to come out and cause shrieking when one is washing the lettuce off.

5:39 am

and once you have earwigs, you have them for life! luckily usually outside

5:39 am

Eeeeew, those posterior pincers are creepy!

5:39 am

Yup, you are here. I do the same thing.

5:40 am

last summer they moved in. One fell out of my checkbook. I mean it rained for about 2 months straight so the garden was something of a bust anyway, except for the early crops.

5:40 am

Oh, yuck, I'm suddenly glad it's winter and I'm not harvesting lettuce.

5:40 am

yes, that is something to be thankful for

5:41 am

The only thing comparable that I heard is from my Dad. Before I was born, he owned a produce store. Tarantulas would come in hidden in the huge bunches of bananas. Ponder that for awhile.

5:42 am

Think of all the ships that come in with produce and reefers from Mexico. There must be all manner of insects arriving with it. How do the corral them all? I suppose the big warehouses all get treated regularly.

5:43 am

They would all be sprayed wouldn't they? Where is DC when you want him - he would know

5:43 am

much worse. That is still a problem apparently. When I volunteered in a zoo for a while one of my jobs was misting the tarantula cage, for which one had to open the front pane of glass. After a couple of traumatic incidents I refused. I love reptiles, so the snakes, lizards, etc were fine, and I could make myself deal with th African hissing cockroaches ( I mean really-why would anyone keep one of those as pets?!), but not spiders. I draw the line at spiders.

5:45 am

A science teacher in the jr. high where I student taught had a tarantula for a pet. On the days he brought it to school, he would let it climb his or anyone's arm. I politely declined.

5:45 am

eeeewwww

5:45 am

*getting the heebie-jeebies now*

5:46 am

Not getting past this last 12 so I might head to bed..bye Scrabs Eva & Merk, have a good Monday

5:47 am

night lynxx

5:47 am

Thanks, Lynxx, and you a good night's sleep.

5:48 am

Well, I'd better be off to make some breakfast. See you tomorrow.

5:48 am

seems like the worst of the swine flu has passed here, unless there is going to be another round later. My friends with children all seem to be back from plague land, and the kids were finally vaccinated in school last week. Vaccine delivery in Vermont was seriously screwed up! And there has been no seasonal flu vaccine for months. I had to get some from out of state.

5:49 am

bye merk

5:50 am

Have you seen a diminishing of cases in your practice scrabbler?

5:51 am

okay, everyone's wandering off so think I will too.

5:53 am

H1N1 activity was highest here from 2nd week in October through 2nd wk of Nov---5 local kids died. Yes, the production + distribution of seasonal + H1N1 vaccines have been a public health failure.

5:55 am

good morning everyone;)

5:55 am

Hi Crossy! And GM to your lovely wife, Elegant.

5:56 am

That's so sad about the 5 kids. Did you treat any of them? How much was there really a screw up in production and distribution and how much was this just too overwhelming a task? Here they did the seasonal flue vaccine in early October and since I had a virus then I couldn't get it and by the time I was well enough there was none. Seems strange that they still have it in NH, Mass and NY but not in Vt

5:56 am

same here,by the time the shots became available to the general public,it was too late

5:56 am

morning cross

5:57 am

lol my better half is smart,she is still sleeping

5:57 am

...............FIREWORKS,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,

5:57 am

H1N1 production and distribution came too late--should have been available + given in August + September before schools/colleges began.

5:57 am

congrats button!

5:57 am

Yahoo Buttonman!

5:57 am

Seasonal flu illness usually begins in January so there is still time to protect people.

5:58 am

I was thinking of shunning everyone below the age of 50 for a while there.

hello and goodbye - got my fireworks and now got to find something to do with the rest of my day!

5:58 am

Thanks and bye

5:58 am

those at highest risk managed to get shots in before the second round of outbreak but it was a close thing

anyone need a clue before i go?

5:58 am

Yay Pinny! This is a tough grid.

i did monkey a couple of words

like the co8

5:59 am

Im not eligible for the N1H1 because of my age so I hope that it has shown us its worst.

6:00 am

it is all over but the crying now eva

6:00 am

do you really think so crossy? Or will there be another round?

6:00 am

Well said, Crossy, esp for survivors of deceased victims

6:01 am

ask scrabbs,but i think thats it

6:01 am

There is concern of further waves that will infect those not hit previously.

6:01 am

they are still forcasting another, worse, round here after Christmas I think

6:02 am

My friends have been lucky in that no one had to be hospitalized.

6:02 am

hi Ata

6:02 am

ooh,so maybe grab the shots if you can ever get ahold of 1

6:02 am

and hi :)

6:02 am

I've still got to have my shot

6:03 am

a couple of my friends, who have kids with asthma, took them out of school for a couple of months until they had been vaccinated.

6:03 am

but there is the incubation period till the shots start to work,so id not delay

6:03 am

And take your vitamin D (www.vitamindcouncil.org)

6:03 am

they decided they couldn't give it to me last weekend *sigh*

6:04 am

what dosage do you think scrabbler? I've increased to 2500 iu a day. Do you think that's enough?

6:04 am

I am taking 5000 IU/day for the winter.

6:05 am

im a good boy srabbs,taking my vitamins,taking my glucosamine and my probiotics

6:05 am

I believe that Dr Cannell, on that web site, suggests 5000 IU/d to boost immune system and avoid flu.

6:05 am

thanks for letting me know. Are there any possible side effects from taking too much that one should know about?

6:05 am

Good Crossy.

6:06 am

or 14,000 IU/d if you have MS and want to try it

6:06 am

There is belief that MS, cancer rates are higher in those with vit D deficiency

6:07 am

since I began having gall bladder problems and then had it removed I've had a really hard time with taking fish oil supplements, which is a problem because they really help with inflammation - any thoughts about how to handle that?

6:07 am

I have no GB and take enteric coated fish oil capsules

6:07 am

some MS studies suggest up to 20,000IU/d, but more say 14,000. Sounds horrid

6:08 am

crossy shudders and remembers the tablesppons of cod liver oil as a child..

6:08 am

*starting to dread leaving Babble Land in order to start work week*

6:08 am

How old are you, Crossy?

6:08 am

I never heard of those. I'll give that a try. Thanks so much! Do you have trouble with digesting lipids in general?

6:09 am

45

6:09 am

Yes, "indigestion", but I avoid fatty food whenever possible

6:10 am

You are like my brother, Crossy. He is 44. My mother never gave us cod liver oil.

6:10 am

So do I - dairy especially - but the fish oil has been a real loss so I'm glad to hear that there may be a solution.

6:10 am

omg. sister might actually get into hospital this week! yay!

6:10 am

i can stil see the bottle in my mind hehe

6:11 am

what is she going for Ata?

6:11 am

Or take flax seed tablets, or borage==vegetarian sources of omega-3 FAs

6:11 am

to get a blood transfusion

6:12 am

At 52/50 I must quickly get ready for work. I go to the Indian Reservation on Mondays--a longer drive.

6:12 am

I am wishing her the best of luck, Ata, and for the docs too.

6:12 am

do all the omega 3's have the same anti-inflammatory /anti -plaque effect?

6:13 am

hagd scrabbs

6:13 am

I think if they are omega-3 FAs

6:13 am

best of luck to her Ata!

6:13 am

her Hb is at 5.1g/dl

6:13 am

so we're all crossing fingers, I'll let you know when she actually gets in :)

6:13 am

and best to your sister ata,my m-i-l actually had to go in for blood last week as well,2 pints i believe

6:13 am

be careful Scrabbs. There's black ice out there this morning

6:13 am

OMG! That is bad! She will go into congestive heart failure soon without a transfusion!!

6:14 am

exactly!!

6:14 am

*panicking about black ice now*

6:14 am

her GP, mum and me all yelled all her surgeon at the end of last week. It seemed to help

6:14 am

yes carefull scrabbs,its glassy here as well this morn

6:14 am

be safe, scrabs!

6:14 am

OK, I must go. I cannot access Babble from Indian Clinic PC--blocked.

6:15 am

Bye kids!

6:15 am

no panic allowed. Just caution. Anyway, Im not sure exactly where you are, but the warning was for Vermotn, NH, and points North

6:15 am

bye!

6:17 am

big news now is that I have a job interview at a tutoring center on tuesday! first interview in MONTHS, so this is good news. Not sure the hours are going to be what I would want, but hopefully there is some wiggle room there. Pay is complete shite, but it is pay, so that's something....

6:58 am

wonderful, trif -- will keep fingers and toes crossed!!

6:58 am

thanks dear one!

Good morning all!

6:59 am

Hi Nonnie

Congrats on the upcoming job interview, Trif!

7:00 am

there is such a strange discrepancy in the pay rate for tutors around here - there is a woman here in norwell who tutors kids in math, maybe at the library, or at their home, and she is easily pulling down $40 tax free. This job pays $13 an hour, AFTER you are certified. Sigh

7:00 am

Good luck Trif!

7:00 am

thanks nonnie!

another clue on th co8 plz

good morning! I might be able to finish this one!

7:43 am

it really bothers me

7:44 am

Me too!

7:44 am

it has to be the most filthy word on the planet

Me too!

7:44 am

Very offensive

7:44 am

when I first started babbling I was so taken aback when I saw that word that I typed it into the chatlog...you can imagine the teasing I got

7:45 am

There are just some words never to be said or typed, like the N word

7:45 am

Hmmm, I wonder if they accept the male equivalents.

7:45 am

the C word, in my humble opinion, is on that level

lol annie. I leave it for the last because I can never remember if it is "acceptable" or not.

7:45 am

Annie that's funny.

7:46 am

so I have a problem

7:46 am

bye bye trif

7:48 am

Tx Annie I'm good for now.

emmmm meatloaf!

7:48 am

my finace has a son (29) with Bipolar and addiction issues. Now I can hear in his voice that he is tired of me pointing out the red flags (since I grew up in NY in a house with both issues). What do I do, walk away because he is resenting me or shut up and stay and live with his ignorance and how it will affect us in later years?

7:50 am

That's a tough one, Sue.

7:50 am

That is a hard way to live.

Tough one, Sue. What does your fiance have to say about this?

7:50 am

walk away

7:50 am

And only you can decide. You know your own tolerance level.

7:51 am

Your future hapiness is at stake here.

7:51 am

Morning, all. Sue - is is your fiance or his son who is complaining?

7:51 am

my fiance

Good morning, judi!

7:51 am

Hi Judi

7:51 am

Hi Judi

7:51 am

he thinks it is an assault on both his manhood and fatherhood

7:52 am

Wow! I'm starting to agree with Ata.

7:53 am

It sounds like your fiance will not accept the seriousness of his son's addiction and illness. How many children do you want?

7:54 am

hi all

7:54 am

NONE

7:54 am

I only say walk away because it's not going to change unless the son wants to change. You can't tell ppl with bipolar that they need to do x, y, and z. And if he won't change, the situation with your fiance won't change

7:54 am

I am 45 he is 51

7:54 am

He's clearly in over his head with his son living with him. There may be some enabling going on there too. Unless he's willing to get professional help for him - both for the mental illness and the addiction - the situation will only get worse. We went through it with my sister. Fortunately, she was entirely capable of living on her own.

7:54 am

his son just got out of rehab after 57 days and thinks everything is fine and dandy now

7:55 am

my fiance doesnt see this as a lifetime problem

7:56 am

son is on meds,but Dale (fiance) doesnt know the rules of the issues and listens to his son about them

7:56 am

sue, I didnt mean you actually having children. What I meant was if the situation stays the same both of them will act as children and you will bear the burden

7:56 am

better to walk away now than to walk away when things are in turmoil

7:56 am

it is crazy that a bipolar thinks he doesnt need therapy, but signs up to the YMCA

7:56 am

oh

7:56 am

whew annie

7:56 am

Is the son able to work or is he on disability?

7:56 am

dont know Judi

7:57 am

but you may want to try couples therapy with fiance

7:57 am

able or wants are two different things

7:57 am

bipolar people often don't belive they need meds / therapy

7:58 am

hey if someone would support me I am not sure I would work either

7:58 am

Plus I think he has been on drugs a while and would gander that taken off all the meds and reavaluated may prove very helpful and telling

7:58 am

My point exactly. Sounds like the fiance has more sympathy than common sense. Time to throw down the gauntlet. No marriage unless the 29 year old son goes to live on his own.

7:58 am

judi, what does that do except cost more

7:58 am

His son needs to be in a 12 step program

7:58 am

or at least until there is extensive couples theorpy

7:58 am

bipolar is a lifetime illness, treatable but not curable be very careful

7:58 am

son would NOT live with us in anycase

7:59 am

very treatable, but not if he's addicted to other things

7:59 am

It is possible he will be elible for state assistance in terms of evaluation and treatment. There's probably a lot of paperwork hoops to jump through - but it may be well worth it for all involved.

8:00 am

and not if neither is willing to recognize the illness

8:00 am

judi has a point -- its a lot harder to accept the responsibility of you adult life with or without bi-polar if you are being carried by your pa

8:00 am

stand up to fiance first, then as a team stand up to son

8:00 am

exactly JMC

8:00 am

if not, then walk away

8:01 am

thank you all for your thoughts, it really helps a lot

8:01 am

I am calling Shrink now to set up a couples meeting

8:01 am

Once my sister was signed up with the state, an advocate was assigned to her. Adv helped her get housing, a job, meds, etc.etc. It was a God send.

8:02 am

biploar is a strange disease that some people - like my "darling" husband have no concept of actually existing . being life-changing / life-threatening

8:02 am

yw now will someone reclue the 8 -- it disappeared from the chog right as I showed up -- the price + what?

8:02 am

ack I have 2 minutes before I have to leave for work!

2:54 pm

yw

now on with the O's

2:55 pm

MP it is a program that was written to make finding clues easier as it puts the grid & clues on the same page plus lots more benefits, if you want it you have to e-mail here for it.....licketySplitAUS @ gmail.com

2:57 pm

does it cost $?

2:57 pm

oh boy zoozzoom....that sounds like just what I need...you can't imagine the things I go thru to get babble and lickety on the same page and have a word search window open in the background....I am jumping alll over the place...but it's still fun

2:57 pm

afternoon all ;)

2:57 pm

hi pini

2:58 pm

Although it doesn't cost money, it is encouraged that you "go pro" before requesting it.

2:58 pm

hi im new to this

2:58 pm

no it is free, but i think they would prefer you to be a pro user (one time fee) after all, they have put alot of work into making all this.

2:58 pm

hi bird

2:58 pm

hi pini!

2:58 pm

hiya zooz! :)

k im off to get some house work done be back to finish the last 35 bye all

2:58 pm

Hi MPitt!

2:58 pm

Hello, Pini :-)

2:59 pm

welcome bird!

2:59 pm

Hi Pinikula

2:59 pm

put me next on the list, Team-E!

2:59 pm

yea, I would like to "go pro" but the second I pay money, that will make me want to play more and I need to get job productivity up again before that!

2:59 pm

Bye, Edward

2:59 pm

Babble Expert is free -- and one of its great features is the Lickety Add box, where if you type one word it goes to bot the word list and Lickety's list automatically, and if you type more than one word it goes to the chat.

2:59 pm

that's why I babble only when I'm home

2:59 pm

Hello, Jilli

2:59 pm

*both

2:59 pm

hi jilli

3:00 pm

hi zoo and everyone

3:00 pm

Hi jilli!

3:00 pm

(and, sadly, I'm home again today)

3:00 pm

pini: I don't have that much self discipline

It's better when I babble at an office than when I am working at home, because at home there are no limits on me

3:00 pm

Hey, Bird...welcome to the game; hollar if you have any questions!

Welcome. This is a friendly group.

3:01 pm

sorry to hear that, pini

3:01 pm

Hello , Kaplan :-)

3:01 pm

Boss said I should save my Minnie Mouse voice for here at home...

3:02 pm

Helllo, Birdpics..sorry did not see you come in..welcome to babble.

Hi. I am waiting for a 4:00 client. I

3:02 pm

Boss is right -- don't push yourself, pini.

3:02 pm

Pini: that is sad.. my boss gives us a guilt trip even if we are deathly ill... yaaay for first job out of college

why wsn't teary a word?

3:03 pm

Well, since I don't often get sick (it's actually rather rare) and I work at a Uni...she was adamant that I "take of yourself" before coming back in! :)

3:03 pm

try typing it again, Kap

3:03 pm

Cassi, does your boss want people to spread their viruses to everyone else by going to work sick?

3:03 pm

yea, my company consists of 9 ppl... so they do weird things

3:03 pm

PB for you Kap..lol

Oops again. I thought it rejected the word

3:04 pm

my boss is a nurse anesthetist and she said "I don't believe in getting sick" and I was like... you're a nurse

3:04 pm

I'm the only staff member in my department! (other than workstudy students who are doing a wonderful job holding down the fort while I'm out)

3:06 pm

Cassi...even on the news (and CDC) they are announcing not to go to work sick and how it spreads so many illnesses...very surprising for a health care boss to be like that...I worked at one of the most prestigious health facilities in the world NIH and they would never say that. She should get with the program!

3:07 pm

it really is rather surprising coming from a nurse

3:07 pm

well, I work at a medical staffing company... so she practices outside of the office.

3:07 pm

yeah, we were all pretty shocked

3:07 pm

yes,i had the h1n1 and just quarrantined bith the wife and i for 11 days to prevent spreading

3:07 pm

I'll bet that was a nice "vacation", crossy ;)

3:08 pm

the main difference i saw between it and a regular flu is how the fever cycles every 2 days or so it seems to regroup and counter attack

3:09 pm

nor reallt pini

3:09 pm

darn typos

3:09 pm

I understood, crossy! :)

3:10 pm

so, what are the "symptoms" of the h1n1 flu v reg flu v cold?

3:10 pm

lol pini,many of the babble girls were hard on me and my typos this morning..seems all i was doing was correcting myself;/

3:11 pm

like i say lini you get fevers of around 101-103 and then every 2 dyas or so it seems to clear ,then it comes back,lots of chest congestion

3:11 pm

Well, you do know that I'm fluent in Typonese...and, besides, when someone corrects a letter or something it only draws my attention back to pick at what I missed.

3:11 pm

LOTS of chest congetstion

3:11 pm

yummy

3:12 pm

I think typos are a good thing...it gives us all a little spark when we find one and we say..."oh there is a typo" and we feel a little smarter if only for a second or so...you can always find the positive in anything if you just look for it!

3:14 pm

Well, whatever I have is apparently staging itself. Last Wed = fever, headache; Thur = better; Fri = went to work for a few hours; Sat = did nothing to ensure "it" was going away; Sun = developed low key productive cough; Mon = low key productive cough and sinus stuffiness...

3:14 pm

...does that sound more like a cold?

3:16 pm

I wish I could post a chart I got via email showing the difference between a cold and the flu -- stuffiness, sneezing and sore throats are NOT common with the flu

3:16 pm

can someone clue me on re 6,21 and re7,32

3:17 pm

that'd be great, jilli!!!

3:17 pm

(can you email me a copy?)

3:17 pm

re + sports group

3:17 pm

then pl

3:18 pm

thanks!

3:19 pm

hello everyone ... how are things going?

3:19 pm

ok, pini -- just emailed it

3:20 pm

thx jilli! :)

3:20 pm

hi mo

3:20 pm

Hello, Mo :-)

3:20 pm

hi Pini and zooz.

3:21 pm

need any help?

3:21 pm

brb - gotta let Koda back in...

3:21 pm

pini,with the h1n1,you get nasty congestion with the cycling fever and full chest rattle,i had to use inhalers for a month

3:21 pm

no i finished this morning, Mo

3:22 pm

thankfully nothing nasty, crossy, all seems to be more cold-like

3:22 pm

it was a fairly easy one today zooz ... dont you think?

3:22 pm

and dont bother with antibiotocs with it,it does not help,makes things worse actually

3:23 pm

I'm baffled by my ailment -- sounds like flu but no fever! Occasional chills, yes.

3:23 pm

i did neo-citrin,vicks vapo-rub,lots of chicken soup and tylenol for the fevers

3:23 pm

sounds like a plan, crossy! * note: avoid *

3:24 pm

Yes , there were a couple of weird words , but on the whole not bad at all.

3:24 pm

and ventolin for the breathing

3:24 pm

jilli...going to look at the email to see where I might fall...brb (and getting Koda)

3:24 pm

crossy, are those all prescription things?

3:24 pm

Koda? .. dog or cat?

3:25 pm

just the ventolin,but if the dr really hears you rattling he may give you a steroid inhaler as well

3:25 pm

I mean is Ventolin prescription?

3:25 pm

zooz ... must admit I had never heard of co8/60 before.

3:25 pm

yes

3:25 pm

thanks, crossy.

3:26 pm

but ventolin and its steroid couter part are covered under most drug plans

3:26 pm

I don't think I'm rattling -- just a tight chest if you know what I mean

3:27 pm

crossy, I'm in BC -- Pharmacare.

3:27 pm

then get a loved one to run you a bath nice and hot,and rub vicks on yer chest and back,slip into some pj,s and have some nice soup

3:27 pm

True, Mo..have not seen that one either..i had trouble with the ga 6,27 one myself...took me a while to get that one..lol

3:27 pm

Hey All :) Clue for the co8 please ?

3:28 pm

3:28 pm

4:40 pm

hi scrabs...

4:41 pm

hi scrabs

4:41 pm

...definitely a different kind of fun, dorens...but age-appropriate stuff does have its advantages...

4:41 pm

...it doesn't take much to entertain a baby :)

4:41 pm

Was Phoebe thrilled out of her mind?

4:42 pm

absolutely. in awe.. just of the building itself (Boston Opera House... incredible place)... but the show too

4:42 pm

entertaining the baby is cheaper and easier, i must say... but i hadn't seen the nutcracker in a long long time, so it was a thrill for me too

4:43 pm

Whee .. halfway was a breeze .. how bad could it be??

4:43 pm

What a wonderful experience for you, to go with your granddaughter!

4:43 pm

Oh, I can imagine, dorens...it's a great performance!

Hello stid

4:51 pm

thx you guys...I'm doing ok...acquired a mild productive cough, but otherwise feel pretty good considering...

4:51 pm

orchids? as an icon theme? I will have to raid Pen's photos.

4:52 pm

...been telecommuting, so don't have to write the whole day off.

4:52 pm

Does anyone have clues for the "A" words? I'm stuck. Thanks!

4:52 pm

that's what jilli said, inge ;)

4:52 pm

i've had a mild productive cough for nearly two months now, pini. hope yours goes away sooner

4:52 pm

good idea, telecommuting. *hands cup of lovely warm broth and a glass of ginger ale* push fluids to help the cough do its job.

4:53 pm

I'll take the broth, but pass on the ginger ale...if that's ok, stidsis

4:53 pm

sure thing, pini. I like the ginger ale anyway.

4:59 pm

positive motivation at that hard is difficult. it kind of has to be internal

4:59 pm

Withdraw internet

4:59 pm

well, I thought a driver's license was a carrot, but apparently not (no way he can get one with the grades he is currently pulling).

5:00 pm

I take away all electronics until they test out

5:13 pm

I'm down to 36 (still no list yet; holding out)

5:14 pm

And this is where I go down the list and say, "How did I miss that?" e.g. gy4

5:14 pm

that's why I'm holding out today!!! I hate it when I do that...(in fact, did it yesterday)

5:15 pm

I literally found a fish (TUNA) yesterday with the list! :(

5:15 pm

This late I just want to finish.

5:17 pm

i know what you mean...

5:18 pm

..I need to waste time on other web sites, hahaha

5:19 pm

ROFL ... you mean you * gasp * don't spend ALL of your time whatching the grid/chog??? :)

5:19 pm

Hi Scrabs and Pini

5:19 pm

hi DR :)

5:20 pm

How are you? We are rainy and loving it

5:20 pm

Do you use the app "Stumble Upon"? It is a great way to discover many cool web sites but to also lose all track of time.

5:20 pm

clear and cold here...

5:20 pm

Hi DR--snow here, car crashes everywhere.

5:20 pm

haven't seen that one, scrabs...do I dare??? :)

5:21 pm

what is Stumble Upon? Sounds dangerous

5:21 pm

Car crashes and very windy- 30 mile an hour winds

5:22 pm

but, I love the rain- we need it

5:22 pm

oh ho, DR! (bad for the drivers; great for the weather)

5:23 pm

(less the wind)

5:23 pm

I use Firefox as my browser and found Stumble Upon as one of the most popular and highest rated apps. You enter your interests into the app then click and "stumble upon" sites that match your interests. That is how I found Babble!! Word games is one of my interests.

5:23 pm

I have found some really need blogs this way too.

5:23 pm

me, too, scrabs...will definitely have to check it out!

5:23 pm

*neat

5:24 pm

might have to try firefox...

5:24 pm

I need to heat something to eat...brb

5:24 pm

The internet is a vast library and Stumble Upon allows one to search for specific interests.

**fireworks**

5:25 pm

way to go Good Enough

5:29 pm

Congrats GE! And I finished too--I forgot to mention it as I got sidetracked by Stumble Upon.

6:55 pm

I have 2 jo 4,9 what am I missing?

The stats say I have 4 left but I only see 3 in my licke3ty- did I enter something twice?

6:56 pm

Kap, we stand ready to confuse you when you are ready.

GRRRRRR.

6:56 pm

You probably entered something in Lickety that you forgot to enter in the puzzle. I do that sometimes.

How can I still not have 2 4letter words?

6:57 pm

Babbling makes you blind.

Oh-duh

6:58 pm

hey, I still have 15 more to go and am definitely feeling blind!

How di I fix it if I forgot to enter something in the puzzle? I may only have one word left...but I won't get any fireworks?

6:59 pm

What do you need, Pini?

7:00 pm

Are you using expert, Kap?

7:00 pm

Kappy...you can either copy/paste your list into the bulk add or do the reverse (at least I think you can do the reverse)

7:00 pm

can't do reverse

7:01 pm

7:06 pm

Kappy...just uncheck the T's in lickety's list and readd your word list...it will show you which one is missing ;)

7:06 pm

(you don't have to uncheck the whole list)

7:06 pm

The 2 ra5s differ only in the last letter.

7:35 pm

That's good, pini.

7:36 pm

7:38 pm

(brb...Koda needs to go out for a moment)

7:39 pm

I went to the doc today and he listened to my chest, then said to get an X-ray because there was something "not normal" there, which might be an old fibroid or something else. "You're not going to crap out over this, are you?" he said. "You're a fighter." I wonder what he's trying to say.

7:40 pm

This doc is new to me and comes out with some strange sayings.

7:41 pm

Night all you babblers. Catch you later.

7:42 pm

Night wht.

I gotta go- I have to figure out why I lost all my Rhapsody library. I also got my MP3player wet- I am tuneless

7:49 pm

lbd, do you still have the link I sent you?

7:50 pm

7:50 pm

have you been working on your scrapbook?

7:50 pm

Hoping for the best, jilli

Jilli, if the cough is worse tmw, then I'll call and make an appt...otherwise it should pass in due course (right?)

7:50 pm

hi BR, hi Jes

7:50 pm

7:50 pm

7:53 pm

bye, jilli

7:54 pm

pini, I have no fever, no sneezing, just this annoying cough which I hope to quell with Fisherman"s Friends, cough medicine, and Tylenol. I can't let my partner down.

7:54 pm

ok...but be careful (bundle up and drink plenty of fluids)!

7:55 pm

Pini, the scrapbook is wonderful! i think the fewer pages is better too.

7:55 pm

similar symptoms here...but add "tired' on top of it

7:55 pm

me, too...it was getting long, but I knew I wasn't going to fill them all...I just wanted the space to figure out just how much I would end up needing

7:56 pm

..and thx for taking another peek! :)

7:56 pm

i like the layout of the pages, easy to read and the pics are amazing!

7:57 pm

since i have no artistic talent i'm always amazed at what others put together. thank you for sharing it with me.

7:57 pm

I like the personalization in that the narratives I found compliments of National Geographic and Wikipedia (credits will be in the back of the book) and the photos were taken by me, my dau, and my gd!

7:58 pm

You're very welcome, lbd...you might consider trying it...it's deceptively easy! :)

7:59 pm

took me three rolls of film before I realized my camera worked better with the lens cap off

7:59 pm

oh no, BR!!!

8:00 pm

8:02 pm

brb - going to quickly check email

8:04 pm

I decided I was not a photographer and cannot recall the last time I had a camera in my hand

8:05 pm

i'm okay with a camera...as long as i have enough time to think about what i'm shooting. I guess I'm from the old school of don't waste film, even if it is digital now.

8:06 pm

9:09 pm

May I please have a clue for the sm?

9:09 pm

Ma5 is I think more of a shortening of Marjorie than Margaret ..

9:59 pm

Pini, I think stid would love the book! probably give her lots of ideas

9:59 pm

that sounds very nice LBD, I am going to go to sleep early today. Tomorrow will be sunny again.

10:00 pm

oh oh... what kind of ideas?

10:00 pm

I know what you mean, stid...how do they find out about these things???

10:00 pm

don't worry, stid...its a good thing ;)

10:01 pm

good ideas, stiddy

10:01 pm

I like good ideas.

10:01 pm

For the record, grad school was not a good idea.

10:01 pm

Today it was an okay idea.

10:01 pm

hold on...sending you the link now ;)

10:01 pm

Some days it's a great idea.

10:01 pm

and i really must head for the pillows. see you all tomorrow! feel better, Pini!

10:01 pm

And sometimes it's a bad idea

10:01 pm

(sorry to hear, stid...still think you'll be happy when it's all over!)

10:01 pm

sweet dreams LBD

10:01 pm

It's a lot of work stid, but it's worth it, if that's what you really want to do!

10:02 pm

yes, I think it will be worth it in the end. just sort of wishing a magic wand conferred wisdom! LOL

10:02 pm

I did my masters in 12 months. the college crammed 24 months into 12! it was grueling, but well worth the blood, sweat and tears!

10:02 pm

on it's way ;)

10:03 pm

I think I'll go back to zz now also.

10:03 pm

golly gee LBD! at least mine is 24 months in 24 months. *grin*

10:03 pm

nighters! *poof*

10:03 pm

I'd like to say I can imagine, but I can't...

10:03 pm

sweet dreams Jac. feel better

10:03 pm

g'night jac ;)

10:03 pm

nighters lbd!

10:03 pm

10:04 pm

10:05 pm

10:05 pm

;)

10:05 pm

10:05 pm

(check your email, stidly)

10:05 pm

looks a little like a daisy

10:06 pm

ah, also known as mint geranium!

10:06 pm

looking now, pini...

10:06 pm

(there is a minor d/l to view)

10:08 pm

(please note; work in progress)

10:11 pm

gads, I think I killed the chog

10:11 pm

harp, still there?

10:11 pm

alrighty then...

10:12 pm

wow. that is AMAZING!

10:12 pm

hi, i'm drinking cold water. this makes no sense.

10:12 pm

22 left

10:12 pm

I have often wanted to take the boys there, but every time we were on our way "somewhere" and I couldn't figure out how to manage the side trip

10:12 pm

thx stid...

10:12 pm

it was fun...and all the pictures are one-of-a-kinds (taken by the 3 of us)

10:13 pm

cold water does NOT make sense *nods in agreement with harp* would you like some nice chardonnay? Tom is pouring

10:13 pm

The writeups will receive credit at the back of the book (from Nat'l Geographic and Wikipedia)

10:13 pm

If you ever get the chance, do go and see it ;)

10:13 pm

I'm drinking water, too!

10:14 pm

where do you want to take them, stid?

10:14 pm

brb

10:15 pm

Harp, I showed her my picture book of a trip to Wildlife Safari (in Oregon)

10:15 pm

a large wild animal park where you "drive thru" instead of walk

10:15 pm

back

10:16 pm

sounds fun! what part of oregon?>

10:16 pm

I can email you the link if you'd like to see my "project"

10:16 pm

stidkid is realizing that he doublebooked his math final for starting at the same time as his english class (he had alternatives)

10:16 pm

SSW - not too far from the main highway (I-5)

10:17 pm

*sad, tired mama look* he just doesn't "get" scheduling and thinking ahead stuff.

10:17 pm

the park is nearish to Eugene, Oregon.

10:17 pm

no...further south...closer to Roseburg

10:17 pm

have passed it dozens of times on the way to and from visits with grandparents in Ashland and Los Angeles...

10:17 pm

maybe he should consider a dayplanner or something, stid...

10:17 pm

am 5 please?

10:17 pm

never too early to learn how to use one

10:18 pm

LOL Roseburg is "close" to Eugene! LOL

10:18 pm

am5 = saudi ruler

10:18 pm

I wish...it's about 4 hours south

10:18 pm

middle eastern leader, mkg, one of two spellings in today's grid

10:18 pm

middle eastern leader, mkg, one of two spellings in today's grid

10:18 pm

ty. thought i tried that but guess not.

10:19 pm

he has one. HE has a calendar, a physical notepad, and he actually sent me a note last week about when he was going to take the test, but I didn't catch it.

10:19 pm

still, it's HIS schedule and HIS responsibility. He is now negotiating with his father, so that he can leave his English class early.

10:19 pm

oy vey, stid...guess he'll have to work it out...he didn't pay attention, he should resolve

10:20 pm

gads, we think alike!

10:20 pm

yep, see, SISTERS!

10:20 pm

you really should meet stidgmere too -- we also finish each other's thoughts.

10:21 pm

oh my!

10:21 pm

poor kids, when they take vacations with the two of us they get everything in stereo. *grin*

10:21 pm

so if they go on vacation with all three of us, they'd get "surround sound" rofl

10:21 pm

ROFL!

10:22 pm

probably serves them right!

10:22 pm

no doubt, pini!

10:23 pm

okay, I am going to spend a little more time this evening pulling my quarter's portfolio together -- the task I set myself today was getting ALL the paperwork from the quarter in chronological order; will actually pull out my "representation of best work" tomorrow and Wednesday. MOST of the writing for the quarter is now done.

10:23 pm

fini!

10:23 pm

(sorry, distracted...Oprah's doing an interview with a family of a 7yo girl with schizophrenia)

10:23 pm

*satisfied mama look* I don't "like" all the hoops, but

10:23 pm

YAY harp!

10:24 pm

Good luck, stid!!! *HUGS*

10:24 pm

wtg harp!!!!

10:24 pm

Well done Harp. Really zzzzzzzing now.

10:24 pm

I do like the fact that I am learning skills that will be useful as a teacher. later all! *poof*

10:25 pm

off to get my orchid now

10:26 pm

* awaiting the unveiling of harp's orchid icon *

10:28 pm

done. whew. nice one for me. i only needed about 4 clues. so was this an easy grid? is that why? lots of plurals and Y's at end.

10:29 pm

wtg mkg ;)

10:29 pm

pini are you jewish? i see the oy vey. i never remember anyone on chat.

10:30 pm

No, mkg...I'm not...I just like the term

10:31 pm

"oy vey" just says so much in very little wording

10:31 pm

oh funny! cant imagine not being jewish and using it. for me it is natural but i doubt i would pick it up if i werent raised with it. but then again i never just heard oy vey. it was always "oy vey iz meer.......and then followed the issue at hand.

10:32 pm

well you can say "oh gosh or oh darn and it is the same isnt it?

10:32 pm

I hope using it does not offend

10:32 pm

it does, mkg, 'oy vey' just sounds so much better

10:32 pm

Hi everyone. I am short 2 words that I am completely blind to. Can anyone clue the last st 6 and 7 please?

Hi all!

10:33 pm

actually now that i rethink it usually the phrase was "veyizmeer" and then something. the oy was used separate and oy vey was used almost mockingly.

10:33 pm

bugs...st6 = avenue (s)

10:33 pm

hi TNC

10:33 pm

no offense at all.

hi pinikula

10:33 pm

* waiting for Bugs to hit self in forehead *

10:33 pm

Oh PIni. I am embarrassed to tell you how long I looked for those!

10:34 pm

Just popped in, and am reading chog. mkg, I'm not Jewish, and I don't know any Jewish people who use that phrase; but I do know a lot of non-Jews who say it because it really says a lot more than gosh darn would

10:34 pm

Well, darn glad I could help put you out of your misery, bugs!! :)

10:34 pm

I think instead of hitting myself I should start drinking again.... It seemed easier with a glass of wine

10:34 pm

hiya nef ;)

10:34 pm

ROFL

10:34 pm

have a glass for me!!!

10:35 pm

hi Pini

10:35 pm

I decided to give up wine for a while. Probably a dumb idea.

10:35 pm

maybe I should take it up!

10:37 pm

Not necessarily, Bugs. I gave up drinking because I don't feel good when I do drink. Even a single glass of wind causes headaches for me. I like the taste, but not the after effects

glasses of wind give me gas ;)

10:37 pm

* scoots away from TNC *

sorry, I couldn't resist :)

10:37 pm

:)

10:38 pm

the doctor told my husband to stop drinking beer and lose weight to lower his blood pressure. Mine is fine but I felt I should be supportive.

10:38 pm

LOL! TNC, that's a side efect I've never heard of before

only when I drink WIND, though ;)

I crack myself up tonight!

10:38 pm

that's good thinking, bugs ;)

10:38 pm

But, if it takes over an hour and I still can't find st6 and 7, I need to trust that he know I love him!

10:39 pm

* big grin *

10:39 pm

I will pick up a a bottle tomorrow for sure!

10:39 pm

Thanks for helping Pini. I hope you are feeling better

10:40 pm

trying, bugs...you're welcome...!

10:40 pm

Did you go see the doctor, Pini? Was it the flu?

10:41 pm

haven't gone in yet, but may make an appt tomorrow...

10:41 pm

...kinda ruled out the flu based on the symptoms, but guess I should make sure

10:41 pm

Are you still sick?

10:41 pm

have a minor productive cough...I think all the aches are from lying down most of the time...

10:43 pm

what color are you coughing up?

10:44 pm

nothing green!

10:45 pm

there isn't much, the sputum is minimal, but the chest production is a little annoying

10:46 pm

(production = rumbling)

10:46 pm

we used to have a saying: "white, yellow, or ???? treat at home; dark gold, brown or green you gotta be seen"

10:47 pm

are you using humidity and expectorants?

10:47 pm

I'm on the front end of that little ditty...

10:47 pm

...nothing yet...don't have them here.

10:48 pm

(I can't remember the word in our little rhyme; I've got the first part wrong because pale green should be a watching sign and dark green is serious)

10:50 pm

humidity is just put a pan on the stove top and make a lot of steam. Boil a bunch of water

10:51 pm

kitchen's on the other side of the house...

10:51 pm

It loosens up the lung crud

10:51 pm

how about the shower then? Just put the hot water on and sit in the BR a couple times a day

10:52 pm

I'll think on that one, Nef...I might be able to do that for short stints

11 left

10:53 pm

and drink lots of water too

10:53 pm

GO TNC!!!!

10:53 pm

I have a jug next to me...

10:53 pm

git'r dun, TNC!

10:53 pm

10:54 pm
