1:06 am

jardin - Spanish for garden

1:06 am

go7

1:07 am

jardin is French for garden too

1:07 am

et tu gremlinn?

2:03 am

wtg grem!

2:03 am

ty lorrie

yvw, vash

2:04 am

gd morning. Yesterday, at about this time, one of you ladies from Australia suggested that Max might have mange. I googled it and am pretty sure he has sarcoptic mange. AArgh. I am not looking into treatments and am very grateful for your help, as he is really suffering!

2:04 am

I put a list in my profile

tyvm, grem

2:04 am

ty grem

hi rbud, how's the grid

2:04 am

now** looking into treatments and am calling my not-too-bright vet this AM

2:05 am

g'night all

2:06 am

nite

2:08 am

I have 100 just now, but only started half an hour or so ago. Good help in chog! :)

2:09 am

good luck, ruby, sounds unpleasant.

2:10 am

goodnight grem, thanks for the list

2:10 am

I feel so sorry for my sweet dog; he bites himself furiously

2:15 am

just got back from kitchen cleanup to see gremlin finished and posted a list -- thanks grem!

2:15 am

and hi ruby

2:17 am

hi jilli

2:35 am

too tired to continue -- 116 left -- lack of time tomorrow so may not finish this beast, esp with no Lickety

2:37 am

Hello everyone. Hi Ruby - I am sad I was right

2:37 am

bye Jilli

2:38 am

hi and bye lynxxx

2:38 am

believe me, it was very helpful. I found some home remedies online and will speak with the housecalling vet this AM. Hopefully he will have some relief. All this time I thought it was diet or something.

2:38 am

and *poof*

2:38 am

Bit slow on the uptake today - is anyone elses list out of date?

2:39 am

hi Anike. Looking back in chat, no Lickety

2:40 am

OK - I was late starting today so missed earlier chat

2:40 am

Just started myself

2:41 am

TY Lynxxx

2:41 am

first 80 words are easy, but then ????

2:42 am

thanks for the warning

2:42 am

but I'm still very poor at this

2:43 am

Ruby, it took me many months before I finished a grid. I remember I was very excited when I first got half way

2:47 am

you are always kind, lynxx. I'm up to 96 but nervously awaiting a call-back from the vet

2:54 am

I can't find any c words

2:55 am

ce5.12 & 4.5, go anti clockwise

2:55 am

ce 5/12,6/21,4/5

2:55 am

How many words today please

2:55 am

216, gran

2:56 am

hi Dizgrannie

2:56 am

216

2:56 am

Thanks

2:56 am

how are you diz grannie?

2:56 am

hi lynxxx, much rain around your parts?

2:57 am

I am so worried that it will be too late to save Max

2:57 am

ruby, drying out after all the rain...lol

2:58 am

Not a lot, hopefully a bit in the next few days. Andree was telling us how soggy you all were

2:59 am

Don't worry yet Ruby, wait and see what the vet says.

2:59 am

what state are you in, lynxxx

3:00 am

Good morning/evening all.

3:00 am

hi haz

3:00 am

down in Melbourne DizGrannie

3:01 am

morning Haz

3:01 am

Hello, ruby.

3:05 am

haz, lynxx helped me figure out what's wrong with Max and I think he has sarcoptic mange. When I googled it, the photos could have been Max. I'm waiting for my vet who makes housecalls to casll back

3:05 am

I'm tearing my hair

3:05 am

I hope I didn't wait too long!

3:07 am

He'll probably have to do skin scrapings etc to make sure of the diagnosis, possibly not easy to do at home so he may need you to get Max to the surgery. I'm glad you're getting him properly attended to instead of trying to imagine what's wrong.

3:08 am

it will be very hard to get him in the car as he's never been off the property

3:08 am

Well, wait and see what the vet says, he's the expert.

3:08 am

hopefully, she can do the scrapings, take them back to the lab, and get the results that way. And, also hopefully, there will be an oral medication because he is very fearful of being touched.

3:10 am

Fearful of being touched anywhere or just on the sore parts?

3:10 am

he only lets me pet him occasionally and then, only on his head and ears. And that's a big improvement over the way he was the first two years when we couldn't touch him at all

3:11 am

PHone..

3:12 am

And back.

3:13 am

I don't know what the treatments might be for sarcoptic mange, if that's what it turns out to be.

3:13 am

Max is much better since he has been on prozac. When he approaches me, he licks my head and sweater and frequently settles down near to me and his sister.

3:14 am

I've read that a solution of borax and hydrogen peroxide works best, but getting him into a bath will be very difficult. If it was warm, we could bathe him outside in the dog bath, but it is very cold right now

3:15 am

ruby, wait for the diagnosis and for instructions as to treatment, no point worrying yourself before you need to.

3:15 am

you're right, of course, but this is making me sick. And my husband has been saying for months that everything is fine!

3:15 am

see now listen to Haz - she always knows best

3:16 am

Thank you, lynxxx! Seriously, if Max has a skin condition, he has a skin condition, hopefully it will get sorted and you and he will be more comfortable.

3:16 am

ok, that will be my mantra, "Haz knows best!"

3:17 am

Haz knows best except in matters scientific or sewing.

3:18 am

I'm good at things mechanical and nutritional....and artistic. the rest? Autodidact and too scattered to be very useful.

3:25 am

any clues for re 5/14 plz

3:25 am

Haz - I was telling Ruby about Advocate, the monthly flea, mange etc treatment I use for Stew. Topical application. Do you know if that is available over your part of the world

3:26 am

I haven't heard of Advocate, lynxxx.

3:27 am

But I see it's made by Bayer so it's probably available.

Sorry, butting in gecause only have 5 minutes before I go out. We have Advantage and Front Line here which I used to get for cats. Both topical, but I think both only available from vet.

3:28 am

Look away Haz!

3:28 am

Yes, they're prescription only from what I can see.

3:28 am

Sally , you would be able to buy it online too

3:28 am

I know, lynxxx, you're probably able to get them more cheaply online.

Not sure if you can here (or in France) but there must be the equivalent available from the vet. We don't actually have to take the animal in, just go in and get it.

3:30 am

I'm looking up one of the online shops, they're not selling except with prescription, but I'm sure there are others who'll provide it.

3:31 am

10 words left for tomorrow....night all

But why can't ruby get it from her vet?

3:31 am

Goodnight, dizgrannie.

3:32 am

Bye DizG

3:32 am

Ruby's in France, but I'm sure there'll be the equivalent there as well.

That's what I mean, Haz. From her French vet?

Shucks. Gulps down last mouthful of coffee. Must go. See you all later I hope.

3:34 am

She probably can; she's concerned at the minute that Max might have mange, she'll need to get that sorted out first.

3:34 am

The Frontline and Advatage don't include te mange treatment. Hopefully her vet will recommend one, like my Advocate, which will include it

3:34 am

See you later, Sally.

3:34 am

Bye Sally - have a good day

3:40 am

fireworks

3:41 am

Congratulations, anike!

3:41 am

Grumpy...thought it was bad enough the SuperBowl taking over babble chat - now my husband is watching it and won't go out!

3:41 am

Congrats Anike!

3:41 am

I must thank gremlin because the last 50 words would have been missing without his clues

3:42 am

Oh yes, it was superbowl yesterday, wasn't it?

3:43 am

I must go and do the dinner thing - any clues needed b4 I go?

3:43 am

what are the 7's anike

3:43 am

not for me thanks Anike, have a nice evening

3:46 am

7's are dr, go, gr x 3, lo,re and sa

3:46 am

thanks..:)

3:46 am

Anike, could you please post the list -- gremlin has gone off-line and her list is unavailable. Thanks

3:47 am

Can you get it through rankings, ARB?

3:47 am

I'll try

good morning all. The Space Shuttle has finally launched....

3:49 am

Good morning, red.

hello Haz. how are you?

3:50 am

I'm well, thanks.

3:50 am

Haz -- didn't think of that -- and it worked! so Anike -- nevermind.

3:51 am

That's great, ARB, glad it worked out for you.

3:53 am

OK - was trying but I have to remember how to do it

3:53 am

See you tomorrow

3:54 am

I took a mental block yesterday when I was trying to set the oven. I've been doing it for years, yesterday I couldn't remember the sequence. I had to consult the book to remind myself.

3:58 am

Well, time for me to be getting on with other things for a while, so I'll be back later. Bye for now.

4:07 am

I'm back, sorry I missed Sally and still nervously awaiting the call from the vet.

4:07 am

This is making me sick

HI ruby. please do not be ill.

4:19 am

ty red, I'm afraid that I care more about my dogs, than I do about the DH! don't tell him!

Oh ruby...that can only be partially true.

BUT...teulu wdecided yesterday he's rather sleep with the Houseguest than me, and I was a bit peeved!

4:20 am

hi everyone

4:20 am

Hello kids. I woke up an hour early. 5:19 AM here. I had a Babble dream last night--a grid with 900 words! That is probably impossible, a grid with 900 words, but a funny dream nevertheless.

4:21 am

you must be exhausted scrabbs

4:21 am

hey there scrabbler - I woke up pre-alarm too, which means I will be spazzy at work today for SURE. sigh

hello Andree and Scrabbler!! I am up for work, and also saw the Space shuttle go off...on television sadly.

4:21 am

From the 900 word grid or waking up an hour early, Andree?

4:22 am

both scrabbs

4:22 am

I hate when I wake up early and am wide awake. I will be Miss Cranky Pants this afternoon at work.

4:22 am

preach!

4:22 am

Everything went well, red?

It appears to have. Yesterday we waited in the cold from 11pm to 5 am and they scrubbed. So tonight I put my friend on a tour bus.

4:23 am

hi trif

4:23 am

hello andree.

4:25 am

ummmm - am I in trouble or something?

4:25 am

Why, Trif?

4:26 am

just a weird feeling I got for a second there - chog seemed to slam shut when i arrived, and I wondered if I had somehow transgressed. happens.....

4:27 am

trif we love you

4:28 am

well, gosh andree, thanks! love you too!

No trif, I am trying to get to work and it appears I am still not very recovered. My Houseguest is Here!

4:29 am

hello tri and scrab

4:29 am

there is something going around in the zeitgeist...half of my FB status updates are people saying they either can't sleep at all, or have been awake at 4 am.

4:30 am

oh, he did arrive then, red! was thinking of you the other day, and wondering if he had....

4:30 am

No worry, Trif, we are furiously searching for words.

well, I was supposed to be so I do not count.

4:30 am

Ruby--how is dog?

4:30 am

must be the effects of the space shuttle ,lol

4:30 am

hi ruby

4:30 am

LOL. Ruby, any news yet?

it was incredible, even only on the telly, and I did see it from afar in the sky, but it really just looks like a fast shooting star from here.

4:31 am

has anyone heard how crossy's cat is?

4:31 am

no sitting by the phone and husband is saying "make my lunch!"

4:31 am

tell hubs there to make YOURS

4:32 am

Crossy's cat is ill?

4:32 am

Shall I go to the PB for typing wo4 and gr4 in the chat log?

4:32 am

scrab, thanks for asking, I think its sarcoptic mange but waiting for the vet to call back and make a housecall. I'm surprised I didn't get it (scabies in humans), disgusting. DH did the grocery shopping, so feels entitled to be waited on....

Hey everyone, is my clues showing yesterdays?

4:33 am

too funny to have those words in the gr**

4:33 am

ummm, ruby? how often have YOU done the shopping, sweetness? Do you get waited on each time you do so?

4:33 am

uh oh, I did it too

4:33 am

in my dreams!

4:33 am

Humans usually don't get the scabies that dogs get, although increasingly there is a Norwegian scabies that we can get from dogs. Has your dog been to Norway, LOL?

4:34 am

hi lickety, how is maddie

4:34 am

I used to go shopping with him, but it becomes such an ordeal and I still have to cook.

4:34 am

Yes, Lickety--no clues for today yet.

4:34 am

i haven't checked clues but think they are yesterdays

4:35 am

perhaps he has a Norwegian girl friend. Can you imagine this 70+ lb male has never been fixed but is absolutely gentle and doesn't bother his sister?

Hi Andree, Maddie was as beautiful as always when I saw her.

4:35 am

hello lickety!@

I love how kids don't worry about being sick too much

4:35 am

What a nice boy, Ruby.

4:35 am

is she still in hospital

Hey - did daylight saving end or something?

4:36 am

Maddie was in the hospital??????

4:36 am

morning all

4:36 am

in which country, lickety?

4:36 am

he is a very nice boy, even though he's autistic, and it is upsetting to see him biting himself and bleeding

4:36 am

not that i know off

4:36 am

morning button

no - it didn't end. Not sure why clues didn't work - maybe Babble was a bit late today?

4:36 am

Hi Buttonman

4:36 am

hello button

4:36 am

The dog is autistic?

4:36 am

mornng Scrabbler and trifioso

4:36 am

hello button

4:36 am

morning ruby

4:37 am

now I have to make Mr. Nasty's lunch.....

4:37 am

your dog has autism?

4:37 am

Scabies is INTENSELY itchy, Ruby.

4:37 am

I am having trouble finding the 8, any clues please?

4:37 am

Hi Andree

My clues are on the way, shouldn't be long.

The right clues ;-)

4:37 am

I just started, Buttonman.

4:38 am

you are a blessing to us, lickety

4:38 am

yes, he had all the classic symptoms of autism but when he was 6 months old, I read one of Temple Grandin's books and she suggest Prozac for that malady. Since I put him on it, he is much more responsive, sometimes lets me touch him and actually approaches me and licks my head and, more important, makes direct and compelling eye contact!

4:38 am

welcome Scrabbler, pretty good grid today

4:38 am

Interesting, Ruby.

4:39 am

maddie has pneumonia, mrp sent me an sms earlier today

4:39 am

Buttonman, I had a dream a few hours ago that we had a 900 word grid!

4:39 am

TG is amazing and there is supposed to be a wonderful movie about her starring Clare Danes, but it's not in France yet. See you later BTW I dream about the grid, too!

4:40 am

Poor Maddie.

4:40 am

Bye Ruby

4:40 am

scrabbler, I applaud your babble commitment. when you are babbling in your dreams, it cannot be denied that you are straight up hard core.

4:40 am

lickety, what is with the SH words on the list?

4:41 am

Haha, Trif. I rarely finish grids these days. In the beginning I HAD to finish grids but now this is just for fun.

4:41 am

Scrabbler, a 900 grid I would not do

4:42 am

!!! are we supposed to be having fun

4:42 am

Scrabbler, I am a pastor too

4:43 am

ugh. now i am in that 'should I or shouldn't i' zone, where I could go back to sleep for a bit, but I do need to get secondo out of her crypt soon, so maybe a snooze would just make me dozier

4:43 am

I suspect that a 900 word grid is mathematically impossible.

4:45 am

I don't see why not, scrabbler - given enough s, t, and e tiles, and maybe an -ing....

4:45 am

Buttonman, I am a pastoral care visitor and volunteer at a cancer hospital. I am not a pastor. Do you have a church?

4:46 am

Trif, the biggest grid I have ever seen was 500+ .

4:46 am

Yes, I have a church. My wife just finished her last chemo treament last week at MD Anderson

4:46 am

yes, I think I remember that one...or maybe I am remembering the smallest one? I know I was here for one of the superlative gr4s

4:47 am

what sort of church is it, buttonman? I mean, denomination wise? My pastor also babbles, fyi (UMC)

4:48 am

Trifioso, Baptist but we have great fellowship with a Methodist Church a block from us.

4:48 am

excellent! and where are you, did you say? maryland?

4:49 am

Babbling is a good way to relax for me

4:49 am

No, central texas

4:49 am

oooh, southern methodists!!!!

4:49 am

No, southern baptists

4:50 am

but the methodists near you are southern methodists, of course....fear they are a whole 'nother animal to us northerners!

4:50 am

Actually, I live in College Station, Texas home to Texas A & M University

Clues are up

4:50 am

You are righ, Trifioso

4:51 am

huzzah for lickety!!!! thank you so much. we all appreciate you so very, very much

tyvm lickety

4:51 am

lickety, thanks

4:51 am

thx lickety

4:52 am

okay, buttonman, true confessions - I actually have no idea what the A & M stand for. Animal and Mineral? Agriculture and Machinery? Ann and Margaret?

4:52 am

Computer keeps freezing up. "Not responding"

4:53 am

ugh, I hate that for you, scrabbler!

4:54 am

Agricutural & Mechanical....50,000 students on our campue and 112,000 in the system state wide

4:54 am

thanks buttonman! mystery solved!

4:57 am

there goes the alarm. time to wake up secondo. DREAD. as I have often said, jesus had an easier time raising lazarus....

4:58 am

same with any teenager trif

4:58 am

have you seen my cattle prod, andree?

4:59 am

I still have yesterday's clues showing on Lickety's list - anyone else having this problem?

5:00 am

I am back. Did anyone else have trouble accessing Babble for the last 10 minutes?

5:01 am

How is your wife feeling, Buttonman?

5:02 am

no problems here scrabbs

5:06 am

She is doing great..she goes back for a day of testing on the 23rd to make sure it is all gone and then we see the doctor on the 24th. After that she goes back every 3 months for test and check ups. I never thought I would be thankful for Lymphoma but it is treatable and curable. After being in and out of MD Anderson Cancer Center and watching people so worse off than us, our battle was nothing compared to some of them, especially the children which just break your heart. We consider ourselves blest

5:08 am

gran, I did to, put down the screen and then put it up again and it may put the right clues in

5:08 am

so glad it has gone well button, hope all future checkups come up clear

5:08 am

thanks Andree, just keep us in your prayers

5:09 am

By the way, her name is Beverly

5:12 am

Back again--site is causing me problems. Buttonman, I will keep Beverly in my prayers. Yes, lymphomas, many types, are very responsive to chemo, and pediatric oncology is a world of both hope and awful suffering and sadness.

5:12 am

Bye for now.

5:12 am

and i am off to bed, happy babbling all

No as words merk

So much for the list.

hi Inge

Good afternoon Babblers!

8:05 am

sally, hello!

8:05 am

Hi Sally

Hi Sally

8:05 am

this is so nice!

Hi all. Was on for about 10 minutes this morning but had to dash. How is your dog ruby?

8:06 am

mangy

8:06 am

hi sally... I bought some sea shells from you the other day and they were beautiful... ty... you sold them to me for a steal

8:06 am

I finally talked to the vet and she's coming on Wednesday morning and will check Ruby as well.

really mange?

8:06 am

ok sorry weak joke

8:06 am

She knew sarcoptic mange but it's very hard having to speak French about medical matters about which I know nothing

??? oodle, not me.

8:07 am

really mange, isn't that awful?

8:07 am

ohhh you are not the sally who sells seashells by the seashore???

8:08 am

I bet they were six cents.

8:08 am

In the dictionary, next to mangy dog, there's a picture of poor Max, my sweet boy. I feel so sorry for him.

8:08 am

I'm pretty sure that's what it is, having used google

I remember when one of our cats had a skin condition I googled images of mange. It is apparently the French for (cough). I put safe search on after that. Now don't all rush off to google images, you won't like the result.

8:09 am

or is it shally shells sheasells by the sheasore?

Oodle, no I'm the Sally down the alley :-)

Too much to drink oodle?

8:09 am

Fortunately, his head is fine, so from the front, he is still magnificent; it's just as you head south that he looks awful

8:09 am

eh? at 9 am??

8:10 am

Not enough, Sally

aaww poor thing!

Poor Max!

8:10 am

there's a sweet photo of him in FB

8:10 am

well then you don,t sell anything?

9am? Your clock is wrong :-) It's 2 in the afternoon here

8:11 am

I was sick about it yesterday, worried that he was in pain

8:11 am

9 am here dear

ok gotta go, was lovely chatting to you all, hopefully I will see you again real soon

8:11 am

Poor doggie

8:11 am

now I had better go and cook or Mr. Nasty will give me another hard time

One of our cats had a terrible skin but his sister was fine. He was allergic to fleas.

8:11 am

by linda

8:11 am

attempting stuffed cabbage

8:11 am

by linda

8:12 am

I have to go also. Later.

8:12 am

bbye linda

Mmm, nice ruby. Do you tend to cook French or American style?

8:12 am

I think Ruby might be allergic to me, when I pet her and we cuddle, we both sneeze a lot!

8:12 am

not French because husband likes spicy food. Generally make separate dinners for us

8:12 am

bye hego

8:13 am

oh wow ... ruby that's odd

8:13 am

bbye hego

8:13 am

bye sally, see you later!

That's a pain (separate dinners).

8:13 am

yes, half the time I don't bother with mine

Bye for now ruby. Have a good dinner.

8:14 am

I mean about the dog not your culinary thing

8:15 am

oh now everyone is leaving :(

I'm still here. Have only just arrived, so perhaps it was something I said :-)

8:16 am

nooo most likely what I said... uh or didn't?

8:23 am

sally the light bulb joke is hilarious

8:24 am

phantom: penecontemporaneous

Lovely isn't it. Friend sent it so I put it in my profile.

8:24 am

nice BR

Hallo BR. Funny I didn't see that phantom.

8:25 am

the lab one is really funny

8:26 am

Hello, Sally. It helps to close your eyes to see my phantoms

8:27 am

I don,t close my eyes cause I am afraid of the dark

8:27 am

Love that lightbulb joke Sally, and so true when it comes to cats

That's where I've been going wrong then. I prefer your phantoms to mine.

What a gorgeous bunny icon, pabtrek.

8:29 am

thanks, I found it a while ago in honor of Scrabble and just couldn't take it off, it is soooo cute.

8:29 am

Penn Yan is a city?

8:29 am

I suppose, like me, everyone is tired of these learner grids

8:30 am

yes, New York State has a lot of interesting place names, almost as interesting as Canada's :)

lol BR. I suppose you finished it in about 10 minutes.

8:30 am

Though truthfully Penn Yan is closer to being a town rather than a city, for me cities are 10,000 and over in population, Penn Yan is about half that

8:30 am

Penn Yan is a village in Yates County, New York, USA. The population was 5,219 at the 2000 census.

8:31 am

darn yet another small grid.i mean really when will the nice medium 500 word grids pop up again..sheesh!

8:31 am

no, I am a plodder ... plod plod plod

8:31 am

LOL crossy

8:31 am

BR - learner grids?

8:32 am

ty sally I needed the laugh

8:32 am

learner grids = grids with training wheels

8:32 am

hi cross

8:32 am

i am agast as well br,i mean what nerve

8:32 am

howdy oodles

There's an awful lot of you in the PB at the moment :-)

8:33 am

cross.. there was only one reason why the Saints won last night.........

8:34 am

they had more points

8:34 am

the colts cheated

8:34 am

uh huh

8:34 am

never wathed the game alas

8:34 am

oodle!!! *slap on the wrist*

8:34 am

watched

8:34 am

well I thought it was funny ... people don't git my sense of humour

8:35 am

Hello, Une. How are you this wondrous day to be alive?

8:35 am

une did you want the colts to win?

8:35 am

so they won did they..how? did they just kill the other qb this time? lol

8:35 am

oh, that interception late in the game

8:35 am

who intercepted?

8:35 am

Hello, Annie

8:36 am

well damn now I should have watcheded it

8:36 am

Hi BR!

8:36 am

that interception was a heartbreaker

8:36 am

The Saints, Oodle

8:36 am

nooooo, am not a football fan but was thrilled the Saints won :-) (I was at Vanderbilt University at a big Chinese New Year's celebration -- see my icon)

8:37 am

ohhhh... kewel

8:37 am

Une, Lovely icon..must have been a great dinner and show

8:37 am

I don't think anyone should have to fan for football. The A/C works quite well.

8:38 am

quite the experience to be in a room of close to 600 and to be in the teeny tiny minority -- culturally, linguistically, ethnically!

8:38 am

BR LOL

8:39 am

yes it nice to know your a perfect social butterfly just before your put into the stew hehe

8:39 am

hee hee hee BR

8:39 am

phone, bbl

8:39 am

why was I invited? My friend Ann met the event organizer at an airport in China 2 years ago and he told her to come and bring a guest!

8:39 am

the poor butterfly

8:40 am

mmm butterfly soup....

8:40 am

Were you glad you went, Une?

8:41 am

yes!!

8:41 am

some of the plays last night seemed to be really muddled at the beginning of the game or do I not understand the game ??

8:43 am

it was kinda like a Chinese variety show -- a guitar solo, several dance numbers of children and adults, a martial arts demonstration, a long comedy routine (all in Chinese!), a raffle, and an extended Happy Lion dance that looked to my Western eyes like huge dancing dragons!

8:43 am

I'm going back to bed, 5:30 was too early to be up, bbl

8:43 am

whichever group of slobberknockers control the line of scrimmage has a good chance of winning

8:43 am

be well, flosey

8:44 am

think I would have fit in well... cause even if I don,t understand people I can sit for hours and listen... smile and nod my head even if they are insulting me hee hee hee

8:44 am

ty BR

8:44 am

sleep well flosey

8:45 am

slobberknockers? you mean I am not far from the truth?

8:46 am

just seemed like at the beginning the Saints couldn't get it together or the Colts were good at anticipating plays?

8:47 am

same here, oodle! (the others at our table smiled and asked politely if we were sure we were at the right table LOL)

8:47 am

ok I have a question

8:47 am

hee hee hee une... did you just smile and nod??? hee hee he

8:47 am

In football, a good hard hit where you can see spit fly from the helmet.

8:48 am

too funny

8:48 am

ouch

8:48 am

or teeth

8:48 am

yes!!

8:48 am

uh now I fergit my question

8:48 am

hee hee hee hee hee hee hee!! UNE

8:48 am

and showed them our tickets!

8:49 am

Good morning/afternoon all.

8:49 am

ohhhhhh

8:49 am

rather presumptuous of them

8:49 am

hey, haz!

8:49 am

Hello, Haz. Good day

8:50 am

BR I felt like singing that Sesame Street song -- One of these things . . .

Hi Haz!

8:50 am

LOL

8:50 am

hey hey

8:50 am

Hello! A nice day here, clothes are drying outside.

8:50 am

ok I'm lost BR... i understand the teeth but being presumptuous? how so??

8:50 am

One of these things is not like th others . . .

8:50 am

NOOOOOOOOOOO HAZ then it will rain

8:50 am

*the

8:51 am

*PERISHES THE THOUGHT*

8:51 am

sounds lovely, Haz -- cold and overcast here

8:51 am

Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on things. There's a good breeze blowing and not too many clouds.

8:51 am

just cold here hee hee hee

8:52 am

Haz can be smug with her weather today

8:52 am

hey, Ata!

8:52 am

One of these things is not like the others, One of these things just doesn't belong, Can you tell which thing is not like the others By the time I finish my song?

8:52 am

Yes, I certainly can. It doesn't happen often. Hello, Ata.

8:53 am

:-D

8:53 am

and hi :)

8:53 am

it is only -7 here

Hi Ata!

8:53 am

we have a lot of snow

8:53 am

Again? What a nuisance!

8:54 am

it is. horrid stuff.

We have a little flurry now and again, but more forecast. Seriously thinking about getting a 4x4

8:54 am

Or why not just try winter tyres?

8:54 am

so was I this morning

8:55 am

Think of your carbon footprint, Sally!

8:55 am

Paypal, Morewords, and Winter Tyres

8:55 am

but the days are getting longer ... and the sun has been out more .... soon spring will be here .... and I can't wait to get out the door

We have thought of winter tyres as well. Trouble is with UK winters, one day we have several inches of snow and the next day we have sunshine and no snow. I'm not really able to keep changing the wheels.

8:56 am

Check, check and check.

8:57 am

There's certainly a lengthening in the days here as well, BabbleRabble, it's very cheering.

Ata, are these three things the most desirable things in your life? :-)

8:57 am

no, in Haz's :D

8:58 am

Is wind a constant there, Haz?

8:58 am

They're things for which I am worldwide spokesman/representative. I get commission (in my dreams)

Ah! I knew you got commission for morewords, but I didn't know you had cornered the market in the other two.

8:59 am

I have never questioned the imprimatur, Haz

8:59 am

the winter tyres is a new found one

8:59 am

There are very few days when there is no wind at all, so it is probably reasonably breezy. It feels strange when there is no movement of air - known around here as 'There isn't a breath'.

9:00 am

it is always windy in the bogs?

9:01 am

I look to a flag out my window ... it is a rare day the flag is not fully extended

9:01 am

Absolutely.

9:02 am

It's not as windy as Edinburgh, where I spent my student days. There was a wind that came off the east coast that would have cut you in two.

That's the wind that's my favourite Babble word, isn't it? Haar.

9:03 am

those winds get one's attention in a hurry

9:03 am

ditto down here sometimes, when the wind comes straight off the North Sea

9:03 am

No, the haar is a kind of fog or mist.

9:03 am

was walking along BOtany Bay the other day and every step was a struggle!

9:03 am

You get the feeling that you're walking at an angle when those winds come.

OK, I always thought it was a kind of wind, since reading the word in a book (can't remember the author just at the moment)

9:05 am

I have taken a liking to this Sam McGee description: Talk of your cold! through the parka’s fold it stabbed like a driven nail.

9:05 am

one of the strange things I really noticed when skydiving was that it wasn't hard to breathe, but it felt as if the air was whipped away too fast to actually inhale. It was like that at the beach

9:06 am

It's a kind of dank fog that just covers the place, it's probably to do with proximity to the coast. Ata will know, she's clever about things like that.

9:07 am

je clue anyone?

9:07 am

yep, proximity to coast. It comes in off the sea

Sorry haven't got it yet mkg

9:08 am

haar—A name applied to a wet sea fog or very fine drizzle that drifts in from the sea in coastal districts of eastern Scotland and northeastern England. It occurs most frequently in summer.

9:08 am

So now you know that it's a real thing and not just a silly babble word.

9:09 am

On the east coast of Scotland a sea fog, known locally as Haar, often plagues the local residents and ruins what would otherwise be a fine day. It most commonly occurs between April and September, on or near the east coast or in the Northern Isles. It does not usually penetrate far inland, but can filter through valleys like the Great Glen and the Central Lowlands as far as Glasgow. Haar forms when a parcel of warm air passes over the cold North Sea. The warm air at the bottom of the parcel is cooled by the cold air below, until it can no longer 'hold' the moisture that was previously contained within. Therefore, it releases some of the moisture in the form of liquid water through condensation. Add an onshore component like a wind of 5-20mph, and the cooling in the bottom of the warm parcel of air is spread upwards and generates a fog like Haar.

Haar here is limited in use to a freezing fog that leaves white fluff all over everything (very pretty on trees, grass, etc., horrible to get off cars)

9:09 am

Google wars! Who can contribute the longest post about haar?

Thanks BR. Know I looked it up at the time so have just misremembered. It crops up a books about a Scottish detective which someone lent me. Have always remembered it so was delighted to find it in Babble.

9:09 am

thats Hoar

The frost itself is hoar frost, yet, but the fog is called haar (locally anyway - it may be a Calgary idiocy)

9:10 am

Haar probably always features in Scottish detective novels, it' lends a spooky atmosphere the way pea-souper fogs did in London.

9:10 am

aha! haar and hoar!

The Rebus books by Ian Rankin (thasnks Mr Google)

9:12 am

I've not read any of them but I've seen him interviewed on TV (Ian Rankin, I mean).

It may be because it looks, or feels, or smells, like haar - we have a large population of people of Scots origin

9:13 am

that would make sense

9:13 am

I got mind from The Glossary of Meteorology ... in matters of this kind, Ata is the authority

I wouldn't particularly go out of my way to read any more, but I just have so many books to read that I have to be a bit selective!

9:14 am

Judging by the subject matter of some of the Rebus books that have been put on TV, I can imagine that they're a bit gritty to read. Alexander McCall Smith's Edinburgh is much more genteel.

9:15 am

Were you a teacher at one time, Haz?

9:15 am

well that was easier than I thought.... it is not until october of this year when the limit of one year after confirmation of Permanent Residency that you can exchange my drivers license... I have an appointment on the 25 feb... and I will be official woohooo

9:16 am

they always seem quite - realistic - in adverts

9:16 am

No, although there are lots of teachers in the family.

9:16 am

Good for you, oodle

9:16 am

oh Haz! Hobbit has the Cone of Shame again ........

Congrats, oodle - that's long, trust Quebec to be cautious about these things!

9:17 am

Good gracious, what's the matter now?

9:17 am

tail again. it was so beautifully healed! and yesterday she just started nibbling and nibbling :(

derail

SORRY - what's i the PB this morning?

9:18 am

Bad Hobbit! Is it the original cone of shame or a new one?

9:18 am

long what is long?

9:19 am

same one. I felt so bad. She's been moping all dat

9:19 am

I do not have to go to the penalty box ... I rent space there.

9:19 am

*day

9:21 am

Does Hobbit need to go back to the vet or is the snow too much of a nuisance to bother?

The one year - Alberta wanted us all changed over within 90 days - not that we would have known about it if we hadn't had to get our insurance done so soon - nobody tells you these things when you arrive!

9:22 am

I'll see tomorrow. I've been putting a bit of hydrocortisone on it. Does look a but manky though

9:40 am

They've recalled motrin? Not that I have any, but why?

9:40 am

9:40 am

Still not seeing the re 5/14 - any further clues please

9:40 am

Hello, Annie.

is it just the brand name Motrin or can you still buy generic ibuprofin?

take advil

or ibuprofen

9:41 am

lol, poor jmc! *sympathy, sympathy*

9:41 am

it may have just been a bad batch or peanuts in the machines for all I know

9:41 am

or take Aleve

9:41 am

9:41 am

*looks haggard*

what ails ya jmc? arthritis?

9:41 am

apparently it is something at johnson & johnson

9:42 am

well i have lots of aspirin and other things

9:42 am

Did they? Hmmm... this sounds serious enough for actual investigation beyond the Babble gossip line... (disappears)

aspirin is the ultimate anti-inflammatory drug

9:42 am

I had more but my son went on a cleaning rampage and threw out every pill past its expiration date

9:42 am

no hours and hours of snow shoveling adhd

9:43 am

9:43 am

whoo hooo merk!

9:43 am

re5/14 - re plus a word associated with sails on a boat, or one of those big lorries.

you don't have to throw out everything.. depending on how meds are stored, efficacy isn't decreased past the exp date

9:43 am

congrats, merk

9:44 am

Congratulations, Merk.

if subject to extremes of temperatures, throw them out. if kept constant (and not over 72+- degrees) they're fine for up to 18 months past exp

aw sweet kid jmc. how old is he?

9:46 am

jmc were you here yesserday when I was talking about getting a canadian drivers license?

9:46 am

wow we should stock up the penalty box what with gr4/7 and wo4/9 it is bound to be busy!

9:47 am

he's 24

wa 8/75 builds off the wa 6/33-one in charge of a prison

nice kid... i could see my oldest doing something like that

9:47 am

A quick scan of the web and I'm now an expert. The take-away is: if your Johnson & Johnson meds don't have a "musty, moldy, unusual odor," you're probably fine.

9:47 am

ty luv

9:47 am

ty luv -- what a silly wo**

9:48 am

what a silly reason to recall

yw jmc, yes that ending gets way to much use in Babble if you ask me

9:48 am

Well, apparently the chemical that causes the odor can also make people sick (though apparently not fatally) so it is a fair enough complaint.

maybe mold allergy??

9:49 am

The scandal being that they've had complaints since 2008 and are only just now actually doing anything about it.

9:49 am

No, it seems to be a chemical used in wooden pallets used for materials.

9:49 am

that seems a little slow on the uptake

figures vic... all at the public's expense. that's the problem. remember the diet drug that had to kill several people before being recalled?

9:50 am

there is ground up wood in the pills?

9:50 am

Leached in, I guess, jmc.

a documentary revealed the drug recall process... it takes a long time to put through and in the meantime the drugs are still being sold

fiber pills

9:51 am

Maybe, but it took them only 8 days to deal with the poison Tylenol scare back int eh 80's.

9:51 am

meanwhile people are getting very sick and/or dying

9:52 am

that is because the stores swiped them off the shelves even before a recall

9:53 am

ok I came in on the middle of a conversation sorry

didn't a woman poison her husband and then taint other caps to make the drug co take the blame?

9:54 am

that is not what i remember adhd *ducks out*

9:54 am

nope never been caught

maybe i'm thinking of something else... it was just on some cable documentary last month

9:55 am

I thought it was just one of these people who takes it into their head for no normal-brain-function reason.

I just got on, and my lickety is crazy??

9:55 am

Anyway, that's why we have tamper-evident caps on everything today.

9:56 am

I remember seeing a programme about that too

9:56 am

sorry here i have not opened lickety -- did you try closing the window and opening it again

i'm trying to remember... there were two incidents.. one person just decided to taint the pills and someone else did afterwards thinking it a good way to kill her husband and not get caught

9:56 am

Try refreshing or if that doesn't work, go out and come back in again. The latter being to babble, not literally. Lickety is there.

something like that...

9:57 am

i wanted to buy johnson and johnson at the time since the stock was plummeting and i realized that they could not be held liable

9:57 am

Oh, I'd forgotten the secondary person.

9:57 am

maybe that with it adhd

lickety was nutty for me last nite... put in all my words, when i refreshed the previous days puzzle was there

i should check the grid now, no? lol it's a big one. i'll be on and off, so please don't think i'm ignoring anyone. it's easier to leave babble running on my netbook and work on my laptop in between everything else. i'm designing my son's website and have to get it running this week (but i've missed babble for years and it's just soooooooo good to be back)

10:00 am

pb adhd ;-)

10:00 am

I just googled the tylenol poison case and it has taken an even weirder turn. Although no one has yet been prosecuted for the actual poisonings, they did convict a guy of sending letters to the company demanding money in exchange for stopping the tampering. Now he's written what he calls a novel called Poison, about a guy who randomly poisons people. Hmmm...Chicago prosecutors are still on his trail as a suspect in the actual murders.

10:01 am

wierd jan

10:01 am

I'm sure the Law and Order/CSI people are taking notes for future story lines.

10:01 am

Weird, jan! He should not be allowed to make money from that book.

10:02 am

he just misses the Son of Same rule

10:02 am

*Sam

10:02 am

Well, first they'll have to prove that he was the killer and not just someone who decided to cash in on the situation with an extortion scheme. And if they do, royalties will be the last thing on his mind.

what's the son of sam rule?

10:03 am

it is a rule (law?) that says you cannot profit from publishing a book about a crime of which you have been convicted

10:03 am

It's a law that prevents convicted criminals from profiting by their crimes--I think the proceeds of any books, interview fees, movie rights, etc. have to go to the victims or families for restitution.

that's awesome; i also think we should test medications on hardcore criminals

10:05 am

i would agree if they consent and get something out of it

10:06 am

need clue for go 7 please.

10:06 am

too many people are getting exonerated with DNA evidence

10:06 am

i agree,with consent and an in centive,cause otherwise it just smacks too muck of nazi ww2 experiments

10:06 am

I mean that it is clear the system is flawed

10:06 am

go7 - go plus one who tells untruths,finish with a consonant.

10:06 am

what crossy says

like the people they killed gave their consent to be murdered?

10:07 am

Yep.

10:07 am

i feel if they are freed due to dna then they are indeed innocent. we have to find out whose dna is there and arrest them.

10:07 am

Er, not "yep" to ADHD!

10:08 am

dna cold case files can take years,you would not want to kill some guy with oill #335 only to find out he was innicent

10:08 am

the point is that we do not know in most cases 100% that the person convicted is guilty and DNA has evidence has been porving time and time again that the person convicted was NOT guilty

10:08 am

pill*

that true cross

10:08 am

a li**?????????? cant think of a go word that is like that.

10:08 am

damn typos

i have no faith in our justice system... none at all

with very good reason

10:09 am

i thought you meant OIL crossy ;-)

10:09 am

agree with jmc.

10:09 am

Just because you don't know it, doesn't mean that it's not a word. go plus a non truth teller, plus a consonant.

10:09 am

juts my fat fingers jmc

10:09 am

I have limited faith in our justice system -- the prosecutors currently have too much power

10:09 am

you have no faith in the justice system but would happily test stuff on people that justice system decided to incarcerate. Hmmm ... makes sense. Not

10:09 am

any more hints on go 7 word? cant think of one that works.

10:10 am

when it is balance between the defense and the prosecutors it is a so-so system

10:10 am

I'd never seen the word before today, mkg, try morewords.

10:10 am

in interest of full disclosure my hubby was a criminal defense lawyer

10:10 am

*fading away to get something "useful" done... back in a while...*

10:10 am

ty.

10:10 am

bye vic hb

10:10 am

go plus a sleepless lizzard

10:11 am

these are useful and important conversations!

10:11 am

lol jmb

10:11 am

a sleepless lizard? are there lizards that dont sleep?

10:11 am

Yes, the lesser spotted insomniac lizard.

10:11 am

yes ,if you do not have faith,then you cannot have faith that they got the right person...so we must wait and let the lab gurus do thier work

10:11 am

sleepless (no zzzzzzzz's)

10:12 am

*looks in medicine cabinet for lizard sleeping pills*

it was said off the cuff... my heart would never agree to it... i'm bitter now over something that happened to my child when the system failed us. an innocent kids life has been forever destroyed

10:12 am

yes word lover the system is far from perfect

10:12 am

If I had faith enable would take "lordy" my grand-mother used to say that all the time

10:12 am

jmc - look in shoes... they can't reach the med. ca.

10:12 am

Hello, ruru.

10:12 am

it is an imperfect system because it is ultimately made of people and people are imperfect

10:13 am

good idea jmb

10:13 am

hi ru

10:13 am

mkg - did you get it?

10:13 am

enable should take lordy. it is so common

exactly my point. i went through the jury selection process and what goes on behind the scenes is pathetic.

10:13 am

no cant get the go 7.

10:14 am

i spent many years helping my husband with his practice and I have seen many people convicted that never should have and many that should have been that were not

10:14 am

got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10:14 am

ty all

10:14 am

Try morewords, it's really good.

10:14 am

:}

10:14 am

what in gods name is that word??????????????

10:14 am

i was very impressed by how diligent the jurors were on the case i sat on the jury

some things have changed since tho... children no longer have to be in court facing the perpetrator anymore... it's done in judge's chambers with the parents

10:14 am

pb mkg

10:14 am

It's true that people are imperfect, but the criminal justice system could be made a lot better than it is. Mainly it's a question of resources--we'd rather spend to incarcerate than to be sure that the system is putting the right people away, unfortunately.

10:14 am

one of a class of wandering scholar-poets in Germany, France, and England, chiefly in the 12th and 13th centuries, noted as the authors of satirical Latin verse written in celebration of conviviality, sensual pleasures, etc.

10:15 am

never got ar 6 18 last one on ar list. any clues out there? haz gave me oone but i couldnt get it.

10:15 am

ty for sharing jmb ;-)

that's sooooo true jan

10:15 am

oooooooooops. sorry

10:16 am

and we often do not screen or train the police adequately

10:16 am

my hubby is a doctor and says the dna should be used for every case possible. i agree totally.

sry... i really didn't mean for my input to take such a depressing turn... iso sorry on to babbling

10:16 am

and to top all off most of the people involved become cynical and jaded

10:17 am

np adhd it is the conversation that makes babble a special game online

10:17 am

Problem is that a lot of crimes don't involve body fluids or other sources of DNA, so those cases are hard to prove conclusively on e way or the other.

10:17 am

I thought talking with Haz made Babble special?

10:17 am

Haz makes Babble special

10:17 am

And I agree that side conversations make Babble the special place it is...

10:17 am

Now you're making me laugh, ruru.

10:17 am

Including talking with Haz, of course.

10:18 am

Haz too :-)

10:18 am

My head will swell and I will not be able to get out of the room.

10:18 am

not to worry adhd,this is the stuff that gives babble its spice;))

10:18 am

adhd, tell us about your child. many have lives ruined by the system. i read a book by a lawyer put in prison and he tells tales that are so terrible. so horrible. it makes us no better than all the terrible nations out there.

10:18 am

CSI etc have given people an unrealistic idea of what is possible

10:18 am

any clue for the re5/14 ? last one I need

10:19 am

Well, off to work. Will have to be back later for my last 42.

10:19 am

re5/14 - re plus a word associated with a sail (as in boats) or one of those big monster trucks.

10:19 am

I guess I should read back about what adhd said?

10:19 am

*hands haz some vegetable oil to help her lub up*

10:19 am

haz please try to reclue me that onasses clue again. i never got that word. the ar 6 18 at end of ar list. it was ar onasses and then confused identity?

10:19 am

pb haz

10:19 am

CSI is staffed with beautiful people with fancy sprays and torches and magic computers.

10:20 am

thanks HAZ...got it

10:20 am

i went to a doberman rescue place to drop off donations yesterday. I held a little (relatively speaking) black male. He was a great nipper & licker but it is still too soon for another dobie.

10:20 am

their ability to get fingerprints is amazing and unrealistic

10:20 am

sprays and torches sounds like a hairdresser...

i really don't want to relive the agony... but in a nutshell, he was molested for 8 months, then kidnapped and locked a hotel room and not fed unless he exchanged sex with this 63 yr old guy.

10:20 am

First three letters are the first of Onassis' name. The distress signal bit. Three letters that normally signal distress. Now change the order of the consonants and vowels. Vowel, consonant, vowel.

10:20 am

lol all that long flowing sillicone breated mouth breather hair would contaminate a sensitive dna probe i would think lol

10:21 am

how horrible adhd!

10:21 am

oh horrible..........horrible. i am so sorry adhd.

10:21 am

god, how horrible.

10:21 am

is he ok now? where is he what is he doing? how old is he?

10:22 am

how old was he?

10:22 am

now that guy should be put in general population and everyone told exactly what he did..poor child;(

the guy was a family friend (child molesters are commonly known to the kids); he was supposed to be taking both kids to an amusement park on a sat morning; my oldest was sick so the youngest went and i got a call at 11:30 at nite from pennsylvania

10:23 am

Hey Haz! How areyou? Long time no see!

10:23 am

u

10:23 am

WREN!!

10:23 am

hi ex

10:23 am

i hope the family friend is in prison now.

my son snuck the call... the guy took the phone and said my son wanted to go to hershey park. i freaked and said to bring him home NOW... he didn't. and he left no trail. i knew his license plate number and make of car, but the cops did nothing and said my son was having fun they were sure

10:23 am

wow. i am so sorry.

10:23 am

Hello, Ex-Wren - lovely to see you again!

10:24 am

oh my god. how did they get him freed eventually?

10:24 am

that is part of why the amber alerts were created

10:24 am

yes.. they work out here...

10:24 am

the cops are stupid. mothers know best. mothers sixth sense is accurate 95% of the time.

10:24 am

I've been in Australia for two months staying with my youngest son.

10:25 am

That must have been lovely for you. Which part did you visit?

10:25 am

the police are often overwhelmed and -- as i said-- cynical from their work

he sounded so sad on the phone, i just knew something was wrong... when he came home, he told his friend and the friend told me. i called the cops and took my son to my moms and had to stall off this guy for a week while they were getting a warrant. went to court in penn. and here. he had good lawyers, called my kid a liar... medical exams were disputed... it goes on and on... the justice system sucks and that guy goes free

10:25 am

not if the guy left a trail of donuts

10:26 am

Mostlyon the Gold Coast, and a few days in Canberra staying with another ex-Wren

there was one awesome detective, but his hands were tied by a cynical chief

10:26 am

this sounds like a horrible TV movie adhd

10:26 am

i am sorry adhd.the system did indeed fail you and your boy

10:27 am

lirn

i'm done... the story was so big at the time. afterwards i was asked to talk to other parents who'd come forward, whose kids had been molested by the same guy but years earlier... one kid committed suicide at 21

10:27 am

How long is it since your husband died, ex-Wren?

10:27 am

oh my god i am so so sorry.

10:27 am

how old is your son?

if i'd had a gun in the courtroom, i would probably have killed that guy at the time

10:28 am

the guy went free? what a terrible thing.

10:28 am

how long did he have your son? 8 months?

he's 37 now; he was 10 when it all happened. he still has nightmares and issues. he was in residential treatment for 2 1/2 years

yeah... he had a good lawyer... one who is known for getting criminals set free for heinous crimes

10:29 am

these lawyers should be hung by their you know whats.

he was molesting him for 8 months unbeknownst to me; he had taken him away for 2 1/2 days

10:29 am

I'd have fed him to venomous cobras

10:29 am

It has been nearly nine (very long) months, but my family said I shouldn't spend my first Christmas without him at home, so I was packed off to OZ in mid November!

10:29 am

there are things in our criminal system i dont get. how can any lawyer sleep at night doing this work?

i'd have done drug testing on him

10:30 am

where is OZ?

that was a joke

10:30 am

And was it the right decision for you, ex-Wren?

10:30 am

i pray your son can get over it and have a good life.

10:30 am

Australia!

10:30 am

because the lawyer is part of a system that protects us all from being locked up for something we did not do

things are changing tho; like i said nowadays the child doesn't have to face the molester

10:31 am

i know jmc but still i am sure these attorneys have a sense if a person is guilty...............

10:31 am

that is a very sad story adhd and it is good that the system is changing. It is very hard to balance the rights of the accused with the rights of the victims

10:31 am

and sometimes a technical error gets them freed.

of course the lawyers know...

10:32 am

my husband practice criminal law for 20 years -- his job was to make sure the system did its job

if you could've seen this guy in court... it was soooo obvious. and when he was picked up he admitted to the cops he did it... he said "but I really love the boy"

10:32 am

Yes. Although were some 'moments', remembering our visit together 18 months ago, I was spending Christmas through the eyes of my 3 year old grandson, which was magic

10:32 am

those "techincal" errors are often constitutional rights that you would want to protect you if you were wrongly accused

then after he got a lawyer he denied everything

10:33 am

the OJ Simpson case is a classic case where the police gave OJ the key to the ja**house door by their decision to cheat and lie

10:33 am

Ah yes, I remember you being quite cut up at the thought of your son and little grandson moving away to Australia. How lovely that you could get to spend such a special time with them.

the medical testimony disappeared, my son cried after being cross examined on the stand... "they made me lie mommy! they made me lie"

10:33 am

i pray that this stuff will get better. i read in pakistan that a 16 yr old girl was raped, her family found out and married her off asap. then it was discovered she was pregnant from the rape. her husband divorced her and the town tried her and found her guilty of daring to get pregnant. they gave her 100 lashes and threw her family out of the town i believe. horrible world we live in.

10:33 am

granchildren are indeed magical.the wife and i cannot wait till our son has a pup or 2 lol..after he moves out of course lol

oh that is soooo sad mkg that poor girl

10:34 am

help with the singleton O for nbt please

10:34 am

adhd, i am so saddened by all of this.

10:34 am

There does seem to be something magical about grandchildren.

10:34 am

the big bad og** lives under the bnridge

10:34 am

oy4 comes from there.

my son has three children now and they are his focus... his nightmares still haunt him, but he has his kids as a wonderful diversion

10:35 am

single o: just go up the grid. that is the word.

10:35 am

ty haz

10:35 am

i am thrilled he has kids. is he married to a good woman?

10:35 am

You're welcome, jmc.

10:35 am

oops nm me..mind is drifting it seems

10:35 am

and you too crossy even though it was the wrongO

it IS sad... all i wanted and want to do is take away his pain. and at the time i'd just started dating a new guy and he went through all of the mess with me... we're still together (26 years now)

10:36 am

He's dreaming either of grandkids or bacon.

10:36 am

oi6?

10:36 am

i still need 22 words.

10:36 am

olia

10:36 am

need clues badly.

10:36 am

or bacon wrapped grandkids

10:36 am

well I can understand your feelings of anger at the system adhd but I have seen it from both sides for a long time and can tell you it is better than that in most cases

10:36 am

thank you for that 'O' mkg

10:37 am

lol granpa will show them how to cook the bacon hehe

10:37 am

i think baconwrapped grandkids is a little creepy

10:37 am

10:37 am

i know that i my heart jmc, i really do. my pain is so great for my child, tho i've not spoken a word of this for so many years... this has been cathartic in a way. thanks to all.

10:37 am

Good morning, Babble Buds. ADHD - I was just reading back in the log. So very sorry for the agony you and your son endured.

10:37 am

any clues for ar 6 18??????????? still dont have it.

Tea time, be back later

ts for the hugs... okay... i'm off my soapbox now... this is too painful. LET'S BABBLE!!

10:39 am

10:40 am

Times have changed for the better, I think - when it comes to prosecuting child molesters. I know the cops I work with feel nothing but rage when they deal with an accused pedophile. They hang all the charges on them they can. Delaware is also lucky to have an AG who is big on prosecuting these low-lifes - and has written even more legislation to see that they are tracked and watched.

10:40 am

crossy makes adhd his famouse bacon weave sammich,with lettuce,tomato and 8 year old white cheddar;0

10:40 am

Re6:33: penciled again.

i'll be in and out babbling and working (which i should be doing more of)... leaving chat on, so don't think i'm ignoring y'all, i'm just off working

10:42 am

off the wagon.. with Bacon?

10:42 am

we had bacon yesterday... and leftover bacon today. breakfast burritos. mmmm

10:42 am

re6/33 - when the art teacher is not pleased with the pupils effort, he tells him to re6/33

10:43 am

Yes, ruru. I stopped eating bacon about a year ago. Sigh. Rehab here I come!

10:43 am

oops..mmmm..lets see then some romain lettuce,thinly sliced plum tomato,s 2 slices of provalone,some of the 8 yeal old cheddar and a dah of coldpressedolive oilwith malt vinegar and secret herbs

10:44 am

poor judi**

omg am i hungry now crossy!! mmmmmmmmm

10:44 am

I always feel guilty eating bacon too

allergic to tomatoes?

10:44 am

I ate chocolate cake last night too. Gee, I fell off the wagon and the horses ran right over me. I'm so weak.

10:45 am

okay - need to go order Jimmy John's blt - back later

10:45 am

well, I don't know if it is an allergy, exactly, or just too much acid. raw tomatoes upset my stomach, but I can have them cooked - spaghetti or ketchup or whatever is ok

take prob8 20 min before each meal and chewable papaya after meals for great digesting!

10:45 am

life is too short to feel guilty about food,when the doctor says stop,you do..but untill then...;)))

10:45 am

gride

i'm the same way with tomatoes or any acid fruit/food... but the pb8 and pap really work... no more reflux meds

10:45 am

10:47 am

look for chocolate in the PB, makes you feel better.

i lost 80 pounds without a special diet, but had a hershey chocolate bar every sunday

and i ate an entire batch of monkey munch this weekend lol

10:47 am

I did repent some by digging out the mailbox this a.m. Freakin snow.

11:56 am

It's rather frightening to find all the vowels represented in one gr4.

11:56 am

first two weeks in december, we have to make any changes we want to our benefit selections for the coming year. i had some money left in my flexible spending health care account and wanted to use it up during the grace period, so i called to ask about that and was told that was fine, i just had to temporarily turn off the auto-claims-processing feature and submit the claims manually. i was NOT told that they were switching companies, so i go to submit the receipts and it doesn't say anything about which year you want to submit for. so i call up our own employee service center number to ask what to do, and i then find out about the switch. not from someone here, though - the phone transferred me to someone in the new administering company without informing me that it was doing so.

11:57 am

i don't mind them switching things or transferring me but i do wish they would SAY SO, so that i don't look like an idiot.

11:57 am

*groan* All these vowel words in a grid following a super bowl party....not fiar.

11:58 am

Ish. What a pain, Hurshy. I hope you don't have to talk about your health care with someone in India now.

my s-i-l is a mountain climber, hiker, etc - first picture I saw of him (before we met) was of him sitting on top of a mountain, whew!

1:23 pm

but it's all gradual

1:23 pm

i was a menace as a small kid - the big wooden swingsets out in the park, i was walking the beam the swings hang from. my poor mother...

1:23 pm

I'll post it now

1:23 pm

skiing was OK, never afraid of the lifts, but straight up, uh uh

1:24 pm

and what i'm doing is in a climbing gym, all artificial walls and holds and a very well padded floor

1:24 pm

Don't like heights, but don't mind bridges.

1:24 pm

there he is, do you see him?

1:24 pm

that's terrific! good luck. As long as I don't have to do it!!!!

1:25 pm

Amen

cute flosey

1:39 pm

some relatives still use that name

1:40 pm

not immediate family though, they were corrected by mother quite early

everyone calls me that, even the grands. I miss my daddy calling me "Hey Do"... he passed away recently. Close friends and family call me Do. I just don't know why she didn't spell it doodoo lol

1:44 pm

lol, can just imagine if you went to school with that last spelling!

anyone need any clues? I just love giving clues, actually just about as much as playing and chatting!

1:45 pm

I have 36 left, I'll just keep slugging along

i finished too fast. i still wanna babble. i really do have work to do tho.

1:45 pm

thanks though

i was dubbed cheerleader when i joined. all this ADHD energy pent up on a cold winter day has got to go somewhere!

i wish i could babble on my ipod

1:47 pm

that would be handy - especially using public transit

1:48 pm

help with the C's? i found one, ce4.

been spending too much time in hospitals and doctor's offices. i bought an ipod touch for myself for xmas and boy is it a great diversion when you're stuck for hours

hold on hursh, help is on the way

1:49 pm

that's for sure, some waits there can be long

ce5/12 spell the breakfast food incorrectly and drop the last consonant

1:59 pm

2:00 pm

It's exactly what you're talking about. Brutal but very interesting.

2:01 pm

fair trade is coming(like the coffee) but we must all rethink the source of our purchaces

2:01 pm

Yup

2:01 pm

Haven't bought many diamond brooches lately anyway. lol

2:02 pm

total event recall?? god god! a wmon who can catch you in ever white lie you ever told!!..crossy hides from dodo

2:10 pm

damn typos

you'd better believe it! my exhusband said my memory will kill me some day. true sometimes i hate it. but no one can win an argument with me based on what they THINK they said or did or saw hee hee

my family used to tease me and say that i remember the womb

then further teased and said, no, i think she remembers conception! yewwwwwww

2:14 pm

hi all.

2:14 pm

am i the only one having issues getting the grid to load?

2:14 pm

must be a pain though,do you re-read good books? or is there no sense in that because you remember every detail?

2:15 pm

I remember before the sperm and egg met

never re-read books

2:15 pm

lol

roflmao ata

2:15 pm

jes,been wanting to see you,can you go up on msn messange for a moment please/

i wouldn't want to remember that. remember how grossed out we were when thinking about our parents "doing it?"

2:16 pm

yes!

a blessing and a curse. and i've had issues with the grid quitting and reloading all day

2:17 pm

i can't, crossy, i don't have an MSN account

2:17 pm

and i don't have any messenger exept through gmail right now (at work)

2:18 pm

oh that right.just a quick question on a pet problem if you willing

2:18 pm

sure :)

2:18 pm

is Monkey ok?

2:18 pm

wow. the lag on that was impressive

and i hate when people call ME and ask me to recall for THEM. write it down for pete's sake lol. it's numbers that i remember most, like phone, birthdays, events, lic plates, addresses. once my ex called ME to ask me his son's birthdate (from his second wife!) lol

the best part is that it's really hard to win an argument with me. hee hee

i remember scores of words just seeing them one time, but i wish i could remember all the definitions. i have a dictionary/thesaurus with me at all times

2:21 pm

we have a 15 year old cat(domestic short hair) and she was poping blood and vomiting and crying while trying to poop.the vet diagnosed her with colon cancer as she could feel the colon restriction with her finger exam( the x-ray was clear,but the are in question is hidden behind bone) she said we could do a biopsy to confirm and perhaps a pull through operation.but the wife and i do not want to extend her agny soley for our purposes.is this viable or even reccomended for a 15 year old cat?

2:21 pm

so you remember everything, just not word definitions?

2:21 pm

you can email me, crossy draggonlaady at gmail, or ask here if it won't bother the others :)

2:21 pm

poor crossy :( poor monkey :(

oh i'm so sorry about your kitty. i lost my Dakota from colon cancer. opted not to wake him from surgery, the mass was too large. i'm so sorry.

ask away... doesn't bother me and i think everyone would feel the same. jesd r u a vet?

2:23 pm

Would depend on your circumstances and what else is going on with the cat. If she already has kidney issues, I'd be skeptical of putting her through that surgery when the long-term for kidney disease is so grim anyway.

2:23 pm

ty adhd,ata

2:23 pm

did you do blood work on her? verify by scope? radiation may be a less stressful for kitty (but more stressful for your pocketbook) option than surgery

2:23 pm

th cat has arthritis but otherwise fine

2:23 pm

yes, adhd, i am :)

2:24 pm

she did a smear for the scope but in the rush i did not hear the verdict

2:24 pm

no bloodwork,i asked her about that if it is the same(tumor markers) as it is in humans

2:24 pm

hi all........clue please for ri6/27 please????

2:25 pm

risks of the surgery that i'm envisioning would be incomplete resection, leakage of bacteria, etc from surgery site, and incontinence because of impact on anal sphincter nerves.

2:25 pm

nbow i am in wait mode for a local vet that is equipped to do biopsy

2:25 pm

we were thinking of that and her age as well

2:26 pm

no... you don't usually see anything cancer specific in blood, though some will cause an increased calcium. i'd be mostly wanting blood to evaluate the rest of the cat's condition--if kidneys are borderline, then anesthetic and stress may tip them over into a clinical kidney problem

ri6/27 Blue ri**e mountains + sick: **l

2:26 pm

how well is she "apart" from her colon problem?

2:26 pm

she is on pain meds and low stool producing food

2:27 pm

mmm

2:27 pm

any j clues please

2:27 pm

thanx ADHD

yw flask

2:27 pm

taking notes to ask vet jes.....

2:27 pm

i'm always reluctant to do surgery without bloods first in an animal that old, because i've had way too many (and really, 1 or 2 is way too many!) that come back 2 or 3 weeks after anesthesia in kidney failure

2:28 pm

I just have the puffy cheeks one Jo 4

2:28 pm

re5/14...?

ja4/9 short term "prison"

ja6/33 ja4/9 + no ifs, ands, ** buts

2:28 pm

apart from that,she seems fine,but when she got fixed,a minor infection almost killed her,she does not do well with operations

je5 je + I really must get *** of these extra pounds by summer!

2:29 pm

I've been really impressed with results on radiation therapy, crossy. but it is expensive.

2:29 pm

ok ty for you advice jes.i apreciate it

ji4/9 ji + yahoo's competition **l

2:29 pm

the pull through they say will be 1500 dollars

2:29 pm

ty Adhdwordlover

jo5/28 jo + situation in iraq

2:30 pm

also, before knowing if resection will be curative, you need to know if it's spread--lymph node eval, usually x-rays of chest and/or ultrasound of spleen and liver, depending on what type of cancer it is.

jo4/13 saggy jaw

2:30 pm

That's all of 'em! TY All!

2:30 pm

the most common one we see in the intestine is lymphoma, and unfortunately it tends to be pretty far spread before it actually forms much of a solid mass.

2:30 pm

well we had the x-ray and chest is clear..she sees nothing else

o boy, i remember this so well (with the kitty) I opted not to put him through treatment because it would be for ME not Dakota. it's a tough call either way

2:31 pm

but hsi on call saturday vet seems..new to it to me

2:31 pm

Crossy...my thoughts and prayers are with you and kitty. This is such a hard decision to make.

2:31 pm

thats exactly what we are thinking adhd

2:32 pm

ty car

2:32 pm

and im sitting here waiting for my rregular vet9it is his surgery day)

2:32 pm

also, i never ever ever am offended if someone wants a referral to specialty. that's what specialty docs are for, and I know full well that WSU Oncology knows a TON more about these things than I do.

2:33 pm

I have been through it so many times...cats and pets young and old...it never gets easier. Let me know if you need anything.

2:33 pm

I don't know who your closest referral would be, but I'm sure that onco at WSU would be happy to field questions if you call them. (509) 335-0711

that's true car... i have no pets at the moment, had 11 cats at one time; lost Gidget to old age a year ago (at 18) and Mutsky (17) last year in just a few weeks just got really "old", hearing, physical agility, sight just went kaput. she went off into the woods to die. It's time for more. Having had so many, it really doesn't get any easier... pets are people too

2:36 pm

things to consider too... if this is resection to alleviate signs, but not cure, then you have to (unfortunately, money in the real world) balance how much it's going to cost with how long you expect to extend her time, and decide for yourselves if it's worth it for you.

*prayers of comfort* {{{hugs}}} what's her name?

and will she suffer from any nec treatment

2:37 pm

I always say "no more" but then I fall in love again! I have to disagree though...pets are NOT people! That is what makes them so great! They just love you unconditionally...don't ask for too much in return...don't care what the house looks like, how much you weigh....they just love. There is NOTHING that compares with a pet!

2:38 pm

ty all i am taking in all your advice

2:38 pm

Crossy, my heart is aching for you right now. Please know how much support and love you have here.

2:38 pm

*hugs crossy and monkey and mrs crossy*

retract car... meant little people.... they are like little people (babies), who love you unconditionally

2:39 pm

crossy- i know what you are going through- i have been there with sammy

2:39 pm

its been long and long since ive lost a pet

2:40 pm

hi e1

2:40 pm

Crossy...sit and listen to Monkey...she will "tell" you what is right for her.

hi oodle

2:40 pm

just whatever you do, do it for Monkey, not you

2:40 pm

ok ty all,sorry to bring the chog down.time to think of better things;))

oooh, nice big gr4 today, yea!

has anyone ever had oodleberry jam?

2:40 pm

and... be easy on the vet. despite having a ton of crap dropped on our heads in school, we often get out of university with NO IDEA how to explain things to real people. we spend 4 years being told "use your doctor words!" and no time to learn to translate that into actual english

2:40 pm

we and sam were VERY lucky and we are still paying for his treatment after 2 years but it is worth it- let your vet be your guide and god bless

2:41 pm

also, despite medical training, a lot of vets (and mds) are still terrified of the word 'cancer'... which is why onco referrals are such great things

oh crossey, you sound like me earlier talking about my son. everyone was so encouraging. please don't feel that way at all

2:41 pm

I'm gonna tell my vet to chop Hobbit's tail off. Well, not really LOL. but she keeps getting a horrid skin infection on it

are there onco vets?

2:42 pm

yes, adhd. at most any university that has a veterinary teaching hospital, as well as some non-uni referral centers.

2:42 pm

lol! when i was in with my cancers,i didnt stand for no pussy-footing ,i gave it right back to them!! lol

2:43 pm

heh. it's a thin line to walk, though, trying to figure out which clients want you to say "this is bad. she may die." and which clients need it sugar coated...

2:43 pm

ty jess,i now have some proper questions to ask:)

2:43 pm

((((((hugs everyone))))) *extra hug for ADHD*

2:43 pm

if you pick too blunt on the wrong ones, they don't hear anything you say after that!

2:43 pm

hello all, intense conversation today

2:43 pm

Stid!

2:44 pm

hi stid

wow, onco vets... didn't know that. the vet i used for years had his office on his property (a true country doc). he had 14 dogs/cats and related to the animals like no one i've ever met... ever. i never got a bill for Dakota until six months after his surgery because the dr said i needed time to grieve not worry about a bill

2:44 pm

corss?

2:44 pm

Love that doctor!!!!

STID... i've been back for a few days and have been asking for you! HOW R YA? I've missed ya

2:44 pm

sorry stid just had to pick jesses brain for a bit

never met another dr like him...for humans or pets

2:45 pm

did you watch any of the game yesterday like the beginning?

2:45 pm

I am okay, thanks. life is complicated!

2:45 pm

yeah, adhd... i'm in a small/low-income rural area, and run a rescue on the side. No specialists here, we're all general practice! but the specs are out there and I'm glad of it and happy to send to them if people are interested

2:45 pm

Many listening ears and strong shoulders here Stid...can we help?

*sending clarity for stid*

2:45 pm

how are you ADHD? seems you were gone an awfully long time. I am glad you're here today!

2:46 pm

can someone please clue me the re 5/14..?

2:46 pm

Goodness! I don't have it!

2:46 pm

heheh. sorry, sammy, haven't been looking at the grid!

2:47 pm

tail end of the WORST migraine ever car, nothing to do but ride it out, and hope the kid who never doublechecks his schedule gets it figured out ASAP. He has inconvenienced his grandmother twice in three days because he didn't check the schedule!

2:47 pm

hey sammysmom

2:47 pm

hey stid

2:47 pm

Oh Stid! Sending soothing, calming thoughts to you! {hugs}

2:48 pm

2:48 pm

{now sending paddle to smack kid's butt if he screws up the schedule again!}

2:48 pm

eesh. no fun, adhd

*sending Calgon to take you away* stid

2:48 pm

Oh ADHD! I had no idea! {{{{love}}}}

2:48 pm

2:48 pm

2:49 pm

glad the adverb for the other son was "almost" -- what a worry kids are!

2:49 pm

2:50 pm

2:53 pm

2:53 pm

2:54 pm

Hooray for Flosey!

2:54 pm

2:54 pm

n thanks stid

CONGRATS! TO FLOSEY! WTG! YOU DID IT! STAND UP AND TAKE A BOW! SPEECH SPEECH

2:56 pm

it's hiding right now but has been lovely all morning

2:57 pm

what is this 'sun" you speak of?

2:57 pm

go gwen go!

2:58 pm

stid, I remember all too well, those horrible migraines - had one that lasted a week and I really wanted to end it all

I got really sick, then 3 weeks afterwards got crippled up with pain and swelling... have RA which has disintegrated spinal fusions, my spine collapsed and i'm slowly losing the use of my arms. wear a necxk brace, back brace, ankle and wrist braces. pain 24-7 and headaches that make the migraines i used to get seem like a walk in the park. i'm not operable. In a flare I will gladly let God take me, but I keep reminding myself of what i told my mom before she died: "God will never give you more than HE thinks you can handle." (yes, i changed it a bit) not what WE can handle, because at times we all think "I can't take it anymore" but HE thinks we can. I could go for days, but why bother. RA and sjogren's is quite enough. Other than that I'm great!

2:59 pm

I was close last night flosey, but my dear friend (who is a doc) dropped by out of the blue and visited and told me the pain should be gone today. and the pain is mostly gone, but I am still having some trouble with all the other symptoms. luckily tom is still home, so he is taking care of me.

3:00 pm

crossy gives adhd a foot massage and some butter toffee...

3:00 pm

this was before I met hubby - so glad I held on!

is the je 5 a weird word?

stid... do you apply ice to the back of your neck when you get migraines?

3:00 pm

and ADHD, you've endured more pain than anyone I have known, and you are so strong, bless you

je + I've got to get *** of the extra pounds by summer

3:01 pm

I remembered you had RA, ADHD, so sorry it is getting so much worse. But stress can do that. (((gentle hugs and choclits)))

ty ADHD, and yes, a weird word! LOL

3:02 pm

yes, tom remembered to do that (I was too far gone to think that clearly) and it helped. I had ice on my neck and a heating pad on my tummy so overall I was the right temperature...

Js are Jambled

ya know flosey, I've had so much happen to me and I know in my heart that God is keeping me here for good reason. AFter I broke my back in 1982 and was told I'd never walk again, I put a horn on my wheelchair and a sign : Honk if you love Jesus

3:02 pm

me too ADHD, had yearly last week, doc. weighed me and measured my waist - not good, and bless him, he didn't say it, must lose, absolutely

3:02 pm

"oilwar" doesn't count, but I am pretty sure it's real.

3:02 pm

off to work, sorry all. prolly be back later.

found by accident a great neurosurgeon who got me on my feet!

3:03 pm

8:22 pm

I suspect that I will have some shovelling to do before I go.

8:23 pm

But I better not complain too much or the folks from DC will come after me with a snow shovel.

oh no, that's not good. what do you drive? i drive a toyota tundra dbl cab... big and heavy and makes me feel safe

8:23 pm

I drive a Camry. Fortunatly it is old enough to not be recalled.

8:24 pm

it is amazing that there is a place where people wish for snow

8:24 pm

Snow is good in it's place. It's just that it's place is not my driveway.

well, apparently I have a water leak...but have no idea where it might be...nothing is visible

i'd not seen that cut/wood one before, not as a compound word

then how do you know u have a leak?

water spots somewhere? can you hear it?

8:38 pm

Well, my last utility bill scared the crap out of me! So, I noted the meter count this morning before I went to work and checked it again when I got home...it moved (15).

8:38 pm

Nothing's "running"...

8:38 pm

good evening, babble friends!

8:40 pm

I'm afraid it's going to be underground somewhere :(

no dripping faucets?

oh no that stinks

ty wht

8:41 pm

I'm waiting for a friend to call back (he's an electrician) and hoping he might have some insight...

8:41 pm

If the water is running and you haven't seen signs of it, it is likely to be running down a drain somewhere.

8:41 pm

...I'm not sure I can afford to keep the utilities if there's a leak somewhere.

in5?

8:42 pm

running down what dr5 though? the sinks and tub are dry :(

8:42 pm

Do you have an icemaker in your fridge?

8:45 pm

wb ADHD

8:46 pm

Do you have a separate shutoff valve for the dishwasher. If so, you could just turn it off and see if that stops the meter from running.

li4/4 last one pls?

8:46 pm

Not sure, wht...where would I find one?

then try different shutoff valves... grt idea

8:46 pm

On the water pipe leading to the dishwasher.

do you have a pump that keeps going on?

8:58 pm

at our first cottage we had an outhouse..no problems hehe..and a hand pump in the kitchen that drew water from the lake..sigh the good ole days

8:58 pm

Pini, you might want to check the shutoff valves on your washer. Sometimes they leak around the valve stem.

8:58 pm

a pump?

8:59 pm

A little turn on the nut under the valve can fix that.

8:59 pm

forget it, you wouldnt have one

8:59 pm

where do you live pini?

8:59 pm

may need to wait for friend to show up for the washer...can't reach by myself

9:00 pm

lickety?

9:00 pm

you know I used to put water meters in apts, well I ran the team and with the plumbers. I found out that the city loves to stop water leaks and if you call them will send someone out to help you for free

9:00 pm

then we went real modern and got a old pistom pump and made a little pump house down by the boat dock..had a staggering 12 psi hehe

brb time to put more wood on the fire.

9:00 pm

It is a puzzlement Pini. The water has to be going somewhere.

9:01 pm

they don't do that here, sue...and they only make 2 adjustments in a 1 year period...

more snow , doren. you are not dodging this one

9:01 pm

just put a lot of bewilderment in your call

9:01 pm

oh

9:01 pm

If you are lucky, it is just going down a drain somewhere or soon you will have a carpentry problem and not just a plumbing problem.

lol not i our town they want the $

9:01 pm

Drats, back in the PB

9:01 pm

I had a leak under my house (yucky crawl space)

9:01 pm

I did, sue...the lady on the other end wasn't sympathetic

9:01 pm

thanks wht

9:01 pm

I hope so, wht!

i proved i was not even living in my home for the three months i had a leak and they said too bad, pay us

9:02 pm

do you have a crawl area or a basement?

9:02 pm

no, sue

9:02 pm

can someone clue an ey for me

9:02 pm

slab pini?

9:02 pm

well, a crawl space maybe...but that's one place I don't go...have to get the SIL or his dad to do that

9:03 pm

Jane Ey**

9:03 pm

is it a one story or two?

9:03 pm

one floor or two

9:03 pm

single (ranch)

9:03 pm

There is Jane's last name.

9:03 pm

(I don't live on a ranch...the house is a "ranch" style)

9:03 pm

Cobb?

9:03 pm

There is one that repeats the sometimes vowel

9:04 pm

then crawling under the house would answer if the leak is a bad one or not

9:04 pm

it will also tell you if it is in the walls

9:04 pm

getting the ey's ty

9:04 pm

well, as soon as SIL's dad calls, I'll see if he can crawl under

9:04 pm

* sigh *

9:05 pm

oh yuck

doren? HOw do i get to lexulous from fb?

9:05 pm

but it being a crawl space will save you lots of money if it is in the pipes

9:05 pm

so dont worry so much

9:05 pm

and just trust

9:05 pm

type Lexulous in the search bar or check under "applications"

9:06 pm

9:48 pm

re6.27

9:48 pm

clue 67?

i'll remember pretty much what everyone says and how they clued a word (if it makes an impression). it's a blessing and a curse

9:49 pm

I think the one thing I'd like to forget is an angry conversation...

i don't try to remember... my drivers lic number is in my head, credit cards i had years ago, my husbands numbers... stuff i don't have to remember is jst stuck in my brain

no thx pini I found it have 10 left though

9:49 pm

no, 67...was hoping you'd clue it for me! LOL

9:50 pm

I was looking for the re6.27 anyone?

but don't ask me where my keys are or my glasses (last nite i was frantic trying to find them and asked my hubs and he was pointing at my head... not on TOP of my head... they were on my face

9:50 pm

ADHAD - I remember things from when I was a bby, as does my e;dest, my son. But you must have a mind like that child artist who drew the London skyline from memory if you can truly remember every word everyone ever said to you. Bet you're a right pain to live with, too! LOL

9:50 pm

I don't have it yet, sue :(

9:50 pm

ty for answering

9:50 pm

* giggle *

9:51 pm

Sue - to say you have no knowledge of again.

9:51 pm

is anyone out there?

9:51 pm

hi phan

9:51 pm

thx jac!

9:51 pm

Phan - yes, we are here.

i remember what makesan impression, not minutia

9:52 pm

weird, my chat log wasn't doing anything after 9?35

no that's not true i do remember minor stuff when i don't want to and that is a pain

9:52 pm

which is why i asked. then I refreshed and see all this

9:53 pm

So, did any one have a clue for the GO 7?

9:53 pm

ADHD - that's a form of autism. You do know that? No problem, if you and yours are happily living with it.

sorry pini computer froze had to restart.

but what i stink at is remembering names. we used to own a consignment store and I remembered over 2000 consignor's numbers, phone numbers, addresses, birthdays, kind of car they drove, etc, but not their names

9:54 pm

no prob 67

what? are you for real?

9:54 pm

go + falsehood teller + the en*

9:54 pm

go7 is the drunken students who once romed Europe composing bawdy Latin songs. I did mention them before.

9:55 pm

ADHD - who mme? The for real thing? If so, yes.

9:55 pm

thnx so much

i had a brain scan when diagnosed with adhd and had lots of therapy on how to make life work with add, but he never mentioned autism. I asked why i could do puzzles (brain puzzles) and get answers so fast but not know how. he said mny brain just works that fast

oh no, jac not YOU, but autism

i know you r for real

9:57 pm

ADHD - you should check again, since autism has been researched since then. Autism isn't a 'mad' label.

i watched a show about autism and what it's like for some... they had traffic sounds, animals, people talking, all kinds of noise at once and said that that's what it's like for an autistic person... so much stimuli

9:58 pm

help with the last re 5/14., please? thanks

9:58 pm

how about RE 7/40?

i definitely will check again. i know it's not a "mad" label lol. i just find this quitge interesting. I would've thought I was a savant or something, but I don't superexcel on one thing and IQ testing was quite an eyeopener

9:59 pm

nevermind, I got it

9:59 pm

Autism is a particular state of mind and what state that is depends on the person and more.

re5/14 re + tractor trailer big ***

9:59 pm

10:02 pm

SA 6/36?

i'm gonna do some research on autism now. i do know w/ADD overstimulation is a problem (without med). my dad had it, i do, two sisters, a nephew, my two sons, one of my sons married an ADDer and they have three add kids!!

10:04 pm

parties at your place must be a blast!!! :)

sa6 wood cutting tool + wood (tree)

10:04 pm

ADHD - the words savant and autistic often go hand-in-hand. Hope your research brings some light.

10:04 pm

thanks, ADHD

10:05 pm

sa6.36 is the thing you get the lumberjack's main tool onto to cut wood.

the only savants i've seen are mentally challenged except for maybe musical genius, that guy with the super memory... btw mine is NOTHING like that... I can't remember verbatim what I read, only what I see and hear

10:08 pm

ADHD - do some research and you will see that 'savant' isn't just idiot or brilliant. Do your autism research. x

ya know who he is? any calendar date, entire books/pages... it's amazing. I've been tested and just told I'm kinda smart. They wanted to skip me two grades in grammar school,but my mom wouldn't hear of it. I loved/hated college (threw every grade curve) I'll be googling all nite lol

10:09 pm

koda needs attention...brb

10:10 pm

I'm sorry if what I've said will keep you up all night ADHD, but not sorry if you find light at the end of your tunnel.

oh no that's not why... it's not you... I'm a google nut

I research EVERYTHING

10:12 pm

sorry, had to step away

my oldest son is my clone too. tho he truly IS brilliant... graduated MIT with the highest GPA in the scientific masters program in the school's history... I'm so proud of that award

10:12 pm

re6.27 please

my memory is better on the details tho

10:13 pm

Sorry to butt in to your conversation; but it sounds like you have something called eididic imagry, ADHD.

10:13 pm

I must attempt to sleep soon, even though lying down flat has caused lung pain for the past few nights or so. I was guessing chest infection from the virus I got back in November that I still haven't totally shaken off. Doc., having diagnosed my Mum with angina last weekm has now decided to send me for tests for same, too,. Ce'st la vie!

re6/27 re + not admit to it

10:14 pm

ty

oh please butt in, it's okay

10:14 pm

Nef - I was going to go there next and I will leave you to expand on that to ADHD.

good luck jac

10:16 pm

My sister has a photgraphic memory (as does a cousin or 2), I'm pretty much average, but my daughter has what's called eididic imagry. She can remember things she's heard and seems to have a brain that remembers odd things.

i made study sheets and could close my eyes and picture what was on them during tests.

10:19 pm

Pini, I had a bad week last week; worked 55 hours instead of half-time because my job-sharing partner was on vacation. I wish this gr4 was a lot smaller!

haven't done nursing in years... to crippled with RA to work anymore.

10:20 pm

oh, gosh, nef! your week sounds like mine...we got 726 applications to plow through (our previous record was 588)...that entailed processing approximately 4,000 pieces of mail...

11:25 pm

guess what? I learned that most marshmallows aren't safe for me either... even "pareve" ones can be made with animal gelatin, and that can trigger my bad allergies.

11:26 pm

*holding breath for pini*

11:26 pm

no more s'mores for you, girl! :(

11:26 pm

don't hold it...you might pass out!

11:26 pm

ya5/16 (1st)

11:26 pm

11:26 pm

* sigh *

11:26 pm

poor thing!

11:27 pm

ya 5/16 is like that li 5 with the vowels reversed

11:27 pm

11:27 pm

I am not happy about the dietary stuff.

11:27 pm

11:27 pm

11:28 pm

BINGO...FIREWORDS!

11:28 pm

YAY pini!

11:29 pm

thx for the help (and the conversation)

11:29 pm

okay, since you are done, I will go lie down again.

11:29 pm

11:29 pm

11:29 pm

(W)est (C)oast (G)et (T)ogether

11:30 pm

it's that migraine pini, I knew it was going to get all nasty. please tell me more!

11:30 pm

it's something nice to think about...

11:30 pm

where and when

11:31 pm

Oh, bugs, jmc, and I were thinking we'd meet up...picking up you and stidg on the way up a bit north (but not over the boarder)...I think bugs or jmc said flosey's even updating her passport...

11:31 pm

...for sometime in August, maybe

11:31 pm

jmc said she might fly out here on a business trip to make it happen!

11:32 pm

that sounds great!

11:32 pm

I said I'd drive if my passengers chip in for gas ;)

11:32 pm

Oh, and whoever else might want to join us!

11:32 pm

Jilli's up on the island, too, right?

11:33 pm

yes, I remember flosey said she would do that. I wonder if she and jill and saanichcat and bugs could all come over on the ferry --

11:33 pm

who else is just over the border?

11:33 pm

MayneGirl is up there too, and hetty but she doesn't travel much these days.

11:33 pm

Cybernan is in VAncouver area...

11:33 pm

guess you just named them! :)

11:33 pm

and I think Katie McGrath has an uncle in B.C. also.

11:33 pm

it could be one spectacular gathering!

11:34 pm

we have a bunch in the san juans and in seattle too.

11:34 pm

it sure could, pini.

11:35 pm

;)

11:35 pm

but sometimes I get the canadians mixed up, they all look alike you know... *wicked mama look* touques and snowshoes and bottles of molson or cups of tim hortons...

11:35 pm

* giggle *

11:36 pm

*looks over shoulder in case jill is glaring at me*

11:36 pm

silly girl ;)

11:36 pm

how are you doing anyway pini? since we have the chog all to ourselves...

11:37 pm

I am now a whole week behind in studies, thanks to the migraine. Until Friday, I was completely ahead and on top of things.

11:37 pm

not too bad...spent saturday with the kids...had a nice time! :)

11:37 pm

I will get caught back up, but it's not going to be fun or easy.

11:37 pm

got to see a real grizzly at the boat & sportsman show at the fairgrounds...

11:37 pm

that was at the car thingy?

11:37 pm

grizzly? bear?

11:38 pm

wow, but you'll recover and come back great!!!

11:38 pm

grizzly bear...yes

11:38 pm

I hope so. Or I won't.

11:38 pm

it was a "side show" at the boat/sportsman show

11:38 pm

Right now I just feel stupid for going back to school with my health issues.

11:38 pm

I have big sister faith in you!!!

11:38 pm

aha. did you buy a boat to accessorize your truck?

11:39 pm

uh, no...

11:39 pm

well, maybe next time. pink mud flaps, perhaps?

11:39 pm

hi again. stid, I'm sorry you are suffering so much. What meds do you take?

11:39 pm

uh, no...

11:39 pm

or a camouflage gunrack you can hang garters on?

11:40 pm

hey nef.

11:40 pm

I'm not one for pink...guess I gotta work on that

11:40 pm

camouflage gunrack where I could keep my umbrellas! :)

11:40 pm

I have maxalt, but I only had one dose with me, and it doesn't do much when the migraine doesn't have an aura.

11:41 pm

I know pini, don't worry. by the time we are old ladies (in 80 or 90 years) you'll be dressing in pink gowns that just drip with pearls and rubies.

11:41 pm

so I used exedrin when the pain was really bad this weekend and that made it manageable but didn't help me see well enough to study.

11:42 pm

ROFL - 90 in pink dripping pearls

11:42 pm

now that's a picture!

11:42 pm

*wicked little sister grin* then when people call you "pink" it'll match! *liking the idea of coordinating name to clothing*

11:42 pm

why do you only have 1 dose? Can you get a refill?

11:42 pm

oy vey!

11:42 pm

oh, Pini! That would be SO like you! ;-)

11:43 pm

ROFL!!!

11:43 pm

Hello, all!

11:43 pm

I had run out nef... I usually have at least two of the pills with me, and more at home. but since the migraines had been gone for so many months... I didn't refill.

11:43 pm

hey jellen

11:43 pm

hi jellen

11:43 pm

join the fun! it's "Pini dressup day!"

11:44 pm

*considers* does that make you a pini-up girl?

11:44 pm

* rolling eyes *

11:44 pm

rofl

11:44 pm

Just got home from Tunica, Mississippi, where it SNOWED last night...

11:44 pm

lol

11:44 pm

a lot of snow? or a little? glad you made it home safely

11:45 pm

* perk * Snow? where? huh? what'd I miss?

11:45 pm

I used to get migrains and my DH would make a special juice for me. He'd juice 2 apples and 3 -4 celery stalks and add 2 radishes in the juicer. I don't know why but it did help

11:45 pm

Quite a bit, and Mississipians seem flummoxed by cold weather...

11:46 pm

hm. probably helped with micronutrients nef... tom has been pampering me, but we didn't think about anything like that.

11:46 pm

* pouts in corner * I want snow!!!

11:46 pm

(((Stid)))...migraines stink!

11:47 pm

11:47 pm

11:47 pm

we are in the middle of a long winter storm. From last evening til tomorrow noon at least

11:47 pm

add *mergency *oom to the wa4 before it

11:47 pm

this migraine was so clearly triggered by the lights and loud noises -- most of the ones I was getting were so clearly tied to eating wheat (which I have given up) and more stress-release triggers

11:47 pm

hi jes ;)

11:47 pm

wa 6/33 is the keeper in the tower, two spellings

11:48 pm

11:48 pm

11:53 pm

*enjoying watching skilled cluers*

11:53 pm

plural the ri 5/10 for the 6

11:54 pm

11:54 pm

11:54 pm

LOl pini! *holds up mirror for pini*

11:54 pm

11:55 pm

11:55 pm

jellen, i usually leave mine at the vet when i go out of town, unless i can find someone to stay and let them in and out

11:55 pm

It's pretty cold out...and she can actually get to her basement room where her Dogloo is while on the lead...

11:55 pm

11:56 pm

11:56 pm

i'd probably kennel her.

11:56 pm

11:57 pm

I'm thinking of bringing her home...letting her inside more than normal...oh, we're home now...
