Someone said a few weeks back that they were chuntering along. That's what I'm doing

lol

fireworks

thx so much for all of the great lists

2:11 am

Minutes of painful staring, hoping that some weird thing like maypo will be a word, followed by finding a word that would have bit me if it was a snake

lol so true douglas

brb need some coffee

2:13 am

fireworks here too...thanks so much dart

good morning. how many words today please

2:24 am

165, sandra, but be advised this is a grid for laying down and avoiding

2:25 am

YAY dee!!!

2:25 am

YAY vash!!!

thanks. i will take heed!!!

2:25 am

lying down, please.

2:25 am

most of these words are rubbish

2:26 am

doug, morewords is a big help -- essential, I'd say

2:27 am

I was actually thinking about the Monty Python Australian Table Wines bit, jilli. The one where the announcer says "This is not a wine for drinking. This is a wine for laying down and avoiding."

2:32 am

ah yes, doug, that makes sense <grin>

is there a list anywhere?

2:32 am

no, sandra!

gee thanx

2:32 am

I believe laying down is a term in the wine world for "putting in one's wine cellar and allowing it to age"

2:32 am

just if you scroll down, dart provided some

2:33 am

yes, doug, got it.

2:33 am

it's laying *something* down

2:34 am

good morning

2:34 am

Sorry, but that other laying is a bugaboo of mine. I was shocked to hear Yale-educated, upper-crust Anderson Cooper talka bout people "laying" in the streets of Haiti.

2:36 am

hello ruby :)

2:36 am

I see no reason why you should apologize for disliking a misuse of the weirdly complex, but highly expressive English language

2:38 am

I apologise because a babbler posted an objection in her profile to people's correcting English.

2:39 am

At nbt, with a little help from a lot of friends, and morewords

2:39 am

wtg doug :)

2:40 am

how could the babbler object to an objection? too funny. jilli, we need to be "hall monitors of the world"

2:40 am

I have to depart with 58 left -- too sleepy to persist.

2:40 am

Well, that would be a reason I could tolerate, if not embrace. (Had a fleeting thought "Whoever said that is in the wrong word game!")

2:41 am

sweet dreams, jilli

2:41 am

ruby, this babbler (and I've forgotten who it was) felt that the person who corrects is setting him/herself above others and does so only out of conceit.

2:42 am

bah, humbug! somebody has to set standards

2:42 am

hi guys

2:42 am

hmmm no list

2:42 am

Well, I think so, but I don't want to be offensive.

2:43 am

sandy, dart did post some lists in the chat -- you could go to the log

2:44 am

thanks jilli

2:44 am

you couldn't be, jilli

2:44 am

gm sandyloo

3:12 am

I'm well today, have just finished getting everything ready for our new (and cute) accountant and that makes me feel good

3:13 am

now he is going to train me to enter all the data - I guess I will enjoy that, I like learning new things

3:14 am

how are you Ruby - enjoying your little village I bet - I told my husband I would like for us to live in France for a year

3:15 am

it is beautiful here right now, very long spring. But yesterday, the roses and peopnies were at their peak and my camera wouldn't work! very annoying. Then it rained and the flowers collapsed

3:17 am

Ruby, we would love rain - our biggest problem here is not enough of it - I LOVE it when it rains- sometimes we go without rain for 6 months

3:18 am

can you grow anything?

3:18 am

desert plants?

3:18 am

fruit?

3:18 am

yes we can, we have a bore and a dam and a windmill

3:18 am

aaah! Do you grow nellie kelleys?

3:19 am

has lickety been on yet

3:19 am

somebody told me they're a passion fruit from Australia or NZ and that's my name!

3:19 am

our paddocks are green at the moment and we have a vege garden as well and we have nelly kelley passionfruit vines which get very full

3:19 am

no list eman but check the log for lists of letters

3:19 am

posa

3:19 am

too funny! I've never tasted one...

3:19 am

sorry

3:20 am

passionfruit is yummy - when we went to the states, I took a whole box of them for my father in law, and they let us through customs (in hawaii) with them- I was amazed, it would never happen here

3:20 am

1/3 of words, but not much more in sight

3:21 am

I have 122 left lol

3:21 am

I wonder if I could post you some

3:22 am

I'm surprised; in Miami they have sniffer dogs and you get busted for an apple!

3:22 am

we have very strict restrictions on fruit entering our country

3:22 am

are they black like regular passion fruit?

3:23 am

I told them what the box contained , I was very open about it and they didn't know what they were and let me through

3:23 am

France seems to only care about genetically engineered seeds!

3:23 am

have you tasted passionfruit?

3:24 am

my husband does the food shopping and I'll ask him to bring home one of the black ones and I'll describe what the inside looks like

3:24 am

roame

3:25 am

they have a dark purply skin and are yellow with black pips inside

3:26 am

I'll describe it next Monday when he gets back (it's his Mon AM chore) and you'll tell me if it's a nellykelley!

3:26 am

I love having a fruit named for me LOL

3:26 am

At the moment our gooseberries and mulberries are starting to appear

3:27 am

passionfruit have various varieties which are very similar but some are nicer than others

3:30 am

I lovemulberries, but can't seem to find a bush (tree? shrub?) here to plant. I have plenty of space

3:31 am

hi Ruby & Sandy

3:31 am

we have two varieties , a weeping mulberry and the normal one- I make jams and pies from them or we have them with icecream

3:32 am

gm lynxxxx; we are talking about passion fruit

3:32 am

Mulberry tree - huge - messy!

3:32 am

ooh, yum

3:32 am

its ok on the property as there is plenty of room here

3:32 am

Again Ruby! I think you are too chicken to actually try one

3:32 am

I guess the dogs would make purple foot prints in the house....

3:33 am

*blushing* ruby the chicken lady

3:33 am

no they don't as the trees are a long way from the shed!! we haven't built our house yet LOL

3:34 am

all of the peonies have collapsed over night!

3:35 am

Will they bloom again soon?

Good morning all!

3:35 am

no, only once a year!

3:35 am

hi Sally

3:35 am

Good morning, Sally!!!

3:35 am

they are the ephemeral stars of the garden

All quiet at home ruby?

3:35 am

What a disaster!

3:36 am

today the white one is opening; there are only 3 flowers, but they're the size of dinner plates

3:36 am

yes, he got calmer yesterday, but is a bit stroppy today already, so it probably won't last

3:36 am

I don't think I have ever seen one - I don't know a lot about flowers

3:37 am

I will try to post a photo I took last year

3:37 am

the scent is lovely and more subtle than roses which can be a bit cloying

Seriously, ruby, have you thought of speaking to your doctor about him and his anger?

3:38 am

Peonies are like huge multi petalled roses - very feminine fowers

3:38 am

I've tried, but he is always charming with his doctors and I come off like the queen bit**!

3:38 am

(not in the grid)

lol ruby

3:39 am

hmmpphh Tell them about him running around with a rifle for days

I was thinking maybe some medication would calm him down.

3:39 am

we would probably get deported!

3:39 am

I made him put it away as the housekeeper is here today and I didn't want her to get freaked out!

Wise move.

3:40 am

I'd slip the dog's prozac into the Campari.

3:40 am

omg this sounds serious

3:40 am

there remain about 20 fish, so, once we get the pond nets (thanks, sally), hopefully we'll have a breeding population if they're not all girls

Was thinking the same myself, Haz, though I didn't remember the dog was on Prozac.

3:41 am

good plan, haz, like my friend who used to put pohypnol in her husband's scotch!

3:41 am

excellent suggestion Haz, goodmorning

3:41 am

Good morning/evening all!

3:41 am

Max, the autistic one. It has really helped HIM

And hallo Haz!

3:41 am

rohypnol*

3:42 am

you have fish ruby?

3:42 am

Hello! You just need something to take the edge off. Husband once accidentally dosed himself with cat sedatives, he was very surprised at how effective they were.

lol, don't ask, sandy!

3:43 am

we had about 300+ until a gorgeous heron decided that this was his favorite restaurant

Had him purring in no time. did they?

3:43 am

and just how did he do that Haz?

3:43 am

raofl

3:44 am

I am confused....what type of fish Ruby?

What did he give the cat in place of the sedative? :-)

3:44 am

He had intended to take something for itchy skin or something, didn't look properly at what he was lifting from the shelf - hey presto, one drugged man.

Hello.

3:45 am

That'll teach him to read labels.

3:45 am

hi Infernal

3:45 am

hello herin, we're talking about cat sedatives, difficult husbands, missing birds, the usual! how are you?

3:45 am

Vets can't be bothered to visit doctors, they have a nasty habit of treating themselves, even giving each other stitches when necessary.

*giggles at Mr Haz on cat sedatives.*

3:45 am

we had goldfish, started from "feeders,", 23 of them and over 8 yrs, had more than 300!

3:46 am

that is too funny, haz!

3:46 am

meow to him!

3:46 am

wow , we had some coy in our dam but the kookaburras got them

Haz my friend was told by her vet that they use human drugs on dogs. Saves her money getting human drugs

3:46 am

haz, that is very funny

3:47 am

what exactly is a kookaburra? I know the word, but have no idea of the animal

3:47 am

herin, it depends on the drugs. Not all drugs are licensed for animal use, but there is a lot of crossover.

3:47 am

I do the same with Max, although his vet didn't know about prozac for autism (or autistic dogs, for that matter)

3:48 am

I got the idea from reading Temple Grandin and it certainly helped him get over his excessive timidity

3:48 am

Kookaburra is also a kingfisher - be glad you don't have them there Ruby. And they would laugh at your husband and his shotgun!

3:48 am

Strictly speaking, doctors are not permitted to prescribe for animals (or do anything to them) - or that's the rules here, anyway.

3:48 am

for a while, I gave my husband xanax but he stopped taking it.

3:49 am

here, too, but my MD will prescribe anything I ask for

3:49 am

yes Ruby, the kookaburra is the famous laughing bird of australia

3:49 am

this heron is enormous, wing span about 4 feet!

Haz the ones that cross over and she has to use cost a small fortune at the vets

3:50 am

Ruby, get your husband to get the rifle out for the heron

3:50 am

not our herin of course

3:50 am

I don't understand, herin, are you blaming the vet because your friend needs to buy drugs for her own use?

3:50 am

and visits to the vet cost 3 times as much as visits to the doctor!

I think the heron is a protected species though they shoot anything in France seemingly

3:51 am

Yes, it's so that we vet wives can sleep in silk sheets and dine on caviar every evening.

3:51 am

they are definitely protected here and guns are pretty strictly controlled, not like in the US!

Ok let me start again as I have confused my self.

Ah, yes, Ata and FM were saying as much the other day.

3:52 am

You've certainly confused me!

3:52 am

how about caviar and eggs? Sounds like a well-balanced breakfast to me

3:52 am

after this grid, anything is confusing....

Just had scrambled eggs on toast (no caviare though).

3:53 am

breakfast is my favorite meal

3:53 am

we have some rifles although guns are very strictly controlled here. We need to be able to put down an animal here and there and they are locked in a very strong steel box

3:53 am

my husband keeps his rifle, loaded but not cocked, in the bedroom. Uh oh..... lol

3:53 am

Breakfast is my favourite meal too , Ruby

3:54 am

omg Ruby, that sounds scary

3:54 am

on weekends we eat eggs and suasage etc.

There is a particular antihistamine or antibiotic that she has the doctors prescribe for her (as the doctors in her area or shaddy) that she uses for the dogs. The vet was kind enough to tell her this as the quanty she needs for the dog is very expensive at the cost she needs

3:54 am

in London, they served baked beans with the eggs and sausage and it was wonderful!

Is that legal, ruby? Here, if you have a gun I believe you must keep it unloaded and locked up (and the ammo locked up)

3:55 am

I'm sure it's illegal, but would you like to tell him? hahah

3:55 am

I like muffins with scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce with a bit of bacon on the side

Oh I wouldn't need to. I would simply apply what my husband calls "that look" :-)

3:56 am

that sounds wonderful, sandy. The french just eat bread in the AM

Haz it is because this dog is so highly allergic to every thing and has so many problems. He is a walking vet bill.

3:56 am

our eggs are fantastic as the chooks wander free around the farm and the eggs are so fresh

Here too sandy. The yoks are so dark it looks as if I have coloured them.

3:57 am

my friend's boxer is like that: she got bitten by a tick at age3 and has limped badly ever since.

3:57 am

I thnk I would find it impossible to sleep in the same room as a loaded rifle or gun. I am afraid that it would find it way to the bottom of a lake

sorry, yolks

3:57 am

I would be scared too

3:57 am

I guess I'm used to it

3:57 am

our yolks are soooo yellow

Ruby this dog is the wonderful product of inbreeding

3:58 am

the "farmer eggs" here are so much better than any egg I ever had in the US!

3:58 am

Max, too, stay away from black chows!!!!

3:58 am

but he is gentle and handsome, just weird

3:59 am

American eggs are palest yellow

Haz I hope that cleared up any confusion

3:59 am

I'll look for the peony photo for Sandy now

I think Haz is just finishing her second helping of caviare.

Must just check on something, brb

snort

4:01 am

one thing I really noticed in the US was the paleness of the butter - our butter is so much yellower here

4:01 am

Infernal, and most probably the 'human' medication is under government subsidy hence it being much cheaper

4:01 am

yellower ...hmmm....is that a word...I think not

4:02 am

have to go and rug the horse and feed it bbl

Yes it is because as I said the doctor there is shady

It helps that she has vet nurse training. I love this dog of hers but yessh.

4:03 am

Animal drugs have to go through a whole different licensing procedure and when new drug companies start making a new one, they have to bear the cost - and then pass it onto the consumer.

That is true Haz. She has spent $1000's on Vet BIlls.

4:05 am

Her choice, of course.

I think she uses the human stuff only on anti histimines. Poor dog had Parvo

On another note Lynxx you cold?

4:10 am

I'm OK tonight, heating is on but not cranked up

4:11 am

I'm trying to change the icon to peopnies! Where is my DIL when I need her? She did it zip zip zip

4:12 am

time to make lunch, will try again later ((ladies))

4:12 am

peonies* usual poopy typing

Heating on jumper on Socks on

bye for now ruby

4:13 am

Bye, ruby.

Bye Ruby

4:14 am

maybe she'll come back.....

4:16 am

some lovely words in the grid tonight

Freezing cold here

4:16 am

Are you thinking of the ad6/21. Thoughts of him are keeping me going...

4:17 am

I like the big Ps too

4:18 am

must disappear for a bit, BBL

4:18 am

Bye lynxxx.

4:21 am

I am back

4:21 am

Hello again, sandy.

4:23 am

haz, is it really bad if you start a puzzle and don't finish it?

4:23 am

It's just the worst thing that can happen. The skies will turn dark and you'll never be happy again.

4:24 am

you mean, I may be "Smote"

4:24 am

I think it just means that you drop places in rankings but since few people know where you are, and few people care about rankings, I'd just do what you need to do and forget about it.

4:24 am

I figured as much

4:25 am

You'll be smote and people will talk about you behind your back. 'That sandyloo started a grid and didn't finish it. What a fader!'

4:25 am

hehehe

Sandy how many horses do you have?

4:28 am

Herin, we had two but last week we had one put down. -that was sad- We have one old boy at the moment and I am looking for another now

:( How old?

4:30 am

the one I have now is 25 but he is fit and I ride him- he is a great horse and won lots of trophies in his younger years- now we can let anybody ride him and he loves kids and is very safe

4:31 am

Right, I'm going to take a break from this. Back later.

4:31 am

seeya later haz

wow. I remember someone having an old horse they used old footy socks to keep his legs warm

Later Haz hope I haven't offended you

4:33 am

lol, he is in a stable at night and is very well looked after and has a sheep for a friend at the moment who never leaves his side

4:33 am

awww best buddies, how sweet

4:34 am

they are soo sweet and last time the farrier came the sheep stayed right by his side the whole time and I was able to catch him and he had his feet done as well\

4:36 am

do sheep often attach themselves to other animals? including humans

4:38 am

the do if they dont have a companion

A sheep?

4:38 am

they are a herd animal and we had two, but some evil dogs got onto the property and killed one-

4:39 am

We had a ram once that did have a companion but it fell in love with my husband and used to follow him around and jump in to his car when he got home

4:39 am

the horse is going to be a much better protector too!

4:40 am

lol - lucky husband!

4:40 am

it started to butt us all and got quite dangerous so we gave it away to someone who had six females

4:41 am

there's a story to dine out on

4:41 am

never a dull moment here

When I was about 3 my dad got chased by a goat

4:43 am

funny, herin but it is so scary to be chased by anything (except a cute guy)

That goat had big horns and was a big old billy goat

And I don't know how I remember this 30 years later

4:45 am

that would be so scary - we have a rooster at the moment which has just started to be aggressive so it will be in the pot soon

My Aunt did that when she had a farm

4:50 am

you kill them when they get aggressive? why do they get aggressive?

4:50 am

you have to be fairly heartless with things sometimes and roosters can be vicious things (too much testosterone) and they can be dangerous for children

4:51 am

and sandys

4:51 am

as they mature that is when they get aggressive - some dont but many of them do

Because it is a farm and you need to eat.

4:52 am

lol lyn, you are not kidding and I am scared of them when they get like that - I carry a whip with me if we have them

4:52 am

its not really a farm just a little rural property

4:53 am

And otherwise I am sure your chooks have a lovely long life!

4:53 am

you would be surprised though at the amount of food we supply ourselves with

My mum and dad had chickens for eggs.

4:54 am

and I am sure the chooks are not kept in cages as in NB's ic**

4:54 am

the chooks have such a good life and we get rescue chooks from the batteries - when we get them they cant walk or peck the ground and have very few feathers - in a couple of months they look fabulous and lay lots of eggs

4:54 am

people can eat without killing animals, Herin, of course :) interesting though. I don't think I could do that.

awww Sandy you get the ''reject'' chooks

4:55 am

maybe so nboy, but we don't choose to be vegetarians - I have a daughter who is a vege and has been since 10 years old

4:55 am

whoops, my message got eaten, I think. But Herin, you can eat well without killing anything, of course.

4:56 am

we give the animals here a great life , better than they would normally get and we love them

Choose not to choose to buy meat that is ethical.

4:56 am

not evil roosters tho

4:57 am

Any lists?

4:57 am

I respect everyone's choices

4:58 am

gran, there are lists of clues in the chog

4:58 am

Thanks

5:00 am

we never kill our chooks only the roosters if they get dangerous

roosters got those big claws?

5:03 am

they have huge spurs on their feet which is what they aim at you, if you turn your back on them thats when they strike

5:04 am

we do have some really nice roosters which will not 'go to god'

I just got a custom made pizza

5:07 am

lol herin, what's on it?

um meat and bbq sauce and peri peri

Crust Pizza

Smoked Ham, Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Chicken Breast Fillets, Ground Beef & Bacon, on a BBQ base with mushroom and feta and peri peri sauce

5:10 am

you are making me hungry and it will be dinnertime here soon - I have made a nice pasta with smoked salmon, baby tomatoes, capers and asparagus

Nice that does sound wonderful

O is it AUs Salmon?

5:11 am

tasmanian

5:11 am

my favourite

5:11 am

and a bit of goats cheese from west aus as well

Good Tas is the bomb

5:12 am

of course add a nice west aus chardonnay

5:12 am

you know I love Tasmanian food

Did you see the NYE spread from Tasy?

5:13 am

I remember your pic of a lovely looking spread

5:14 am

what is NYE?

New Years Eve this year?

5:14 am

yes that was it!

That was Tas stuff. Pigged our self silly

are there any lists up???

5:17 am

i hope lickety knows how much I suffer when he has no list!!

5:17 am

sandra there are lists of clues in the chog

Sorry to gross you out Nancy. I respect that you are a Veggie and I hope you respect the fact that I eat mostly meat even if you don't like it

thanks

5:19 am

Can you tell me where to find the chog? Thanks.

5:20 am

go to the little icon to the right which says "view entire chat log" then scroll through it

5:23 am

Oh, you mean "chat log" - I know how to do that and usually find the list under Germlinn's profile but it's not there today. Do you know who has it listed?

5:23 am

no list yet but a few lists of clues in the chog

5:24 am

is it a public holiday today in the east?

think he is working

5:26 am

herin , do you watch Masterchef?

sadly yes

5:26 am

lol, we love it!

5:28 am

It is hard work but gees you save a stack of cash on doubles

Sandy when I worked Lunch and dinner shifts as doubles it was great

5:36 am

what is a double?

when you work both Lunch and dinner

5:38 am

ok, you must get extra money with the hours I guess

Means you get about 3 hours in the day down time. The down time was spent sleeping on the lumpy comfy couch in the staff room

5:39 am

pardoned

5:39 am

reiras

5:39 am

\whoops and sorry but Im sure I gave nothing away

5:40 am

5:44 am

hello again

5:44 am

hi Nono!

5:44 am

I tried to change my icon to peonies for sandy, but, as usual, it didn't work.

5:45 am

Hello No No!

hi lynxxxx

5:45 am

I wish my DIL would come back; she made it look easy

5:45 am

I am sure she can Google them Ruby

5:45 am

but mine were special!

5:45 am

thanks ruby, I will google peonies - I cant change my icon at the moment due to computer confusion

5:46 am

just had a look , they are gorgeous and beautiful colours too!

hi Ruby, sorry sort of concentrating on the grid

5:47 am

thank you for the lovely pa8 clues!!

5:47 am

now I only have 102 to go! lol

5:48 am

my garden smells of fox this morning!

5:49 am

ha ruby, I have only 94

5:49 am

you're smarter!

5:49 am

lol

5:51 am

I got the Spanish po6! how is that acceptable?

5:51 am

hello hellooooo

ATa did you get my message?

hi Ata

5:52 am

hello hello ata!!

5:52 am

hi Ata and crew!!

5:52 am

yes! just looking at it

5:53 am

silverclaw's already buggered off to the far end of the house *sigh*!

5:53 am

American-spanish words are very common here

5:54 am

sandy:93 left!

5:54 am

why? what have you done to offend her Ata

5:54 am

*whispers* she has to go to the vets in an hour and two and she KNOWS

Feather time Ata

5:55 am

psst ruby, still 94

why is it they always seem to sence that upcoming trip to the vet?

5:55 am

You know you must spell v-e-t out and not say it don't you?

5:55 am

or is you even look at a suitcase....

Ata We have the CCD out and a about

5:55 am

and sily HATES the vet. Hobbit loves going!

5:56 am

Probably putting her cage by the front door gave it away

My cats cage is by the door they sleep in it

5:56 am

well I haven't yet ... I've been debating whether to go get the CCD (CAt Capturing Device) and leave it innocently lying around or nt

5:57 am

CCD - your husband?

I once had a cat that would fight me tooth and nail against going to the vet but once I got her there she was so sweet and lovey for the vet

5:57 am

sounds like my husband!

5:58 am

not husband! he just stands there and doesnt help!

My cat hates the vet. I have 3 Vet clinics for the brats, one for Lucius, One for Pandora's injections and one for Pandoras claw cliping

6:00 am

and Sily can produce a real BUrmese / Siamese howl, all wavery and anguished, just for occasions like this

brb I need coffee

shall i bring the pot back?

awwww So Silly tries to be all big and scary?

6:01 am

please, I have 2 sorts of cake if you would like some too

6:01 am

I have some chocolate coated pretzels

6:01 am

she *tries*. seeing as she's under 3kg in weight though ....

awww. Mine two are big lumps. Both get harnessed in the car cat cariers

6:03 am

anyone got some clever ways of cleaning dog bedding/cushions in Winter?

6:04 am

clean the dog before he jumps on them?

6:05 am

they are not dirty like that, just doggy smell generally.

c[_] steaming cup of coffee for you lynxxx

awww Nono

6:06 am

Febreeze? Do you have that stuff? It works quite well

6:06 am

TY Nono. Would you like a slice of ginger-beer cake or root beer cake (I recommend the latter)

I was just thinking the same thing Ata I use it all the time on the cat bed

ooohh root beer cake please!

6:06 am

We do - Thankyou, I'll get some

6:07 am

lynxx, got to the local stock feed place and see if there are any ads for horse rug cleaning, they will clean your dog beds too

6:07 am

our pups just sleep on towels which I wash once a week. Fortunately, neither one gets on the furniture

Please do not clean the dog with Feebrezze (head desk sad but true)

6:07 am

it doen't work perfectly, but it certainly helps!

6:08 am

see you later, lie-down time!

6:08 am

oooo I think we've just found a product that stretches round the globe!

sheesh it is cold out ther

6:11 am

its gorgeous here! I took pup out at 5:30 and even then I was in shorts and a tshirt

6:12 am

You don't have your leg irons on anymore?

a bit on the cool side here this morning but at least the skies have cleared. It should be a nice day

6:13 am

I do I do, but it's been set so I can have the full range of movement front to back, so it's almost like walking without it

meh?

6:14 am

it's still awkward, but easily doable now. I can't take pup out for long, I can manage about 40 mins so far, but that's better than nothing!

6:14 am

Poor luv but I am glad they at least did that

6:15 am

oh yes! really it's just kinda awkward rather than anything else now, and I can deal with that!

awww Ata.

My poor cat is horrified that us mean humans spoiled his fun by disposing a rather poisonous spider.

6:17 am

but! the physio is really really pleased, and says it's getting better as quickly as she's seen cruciates recover, so that's really good! I think in a way I was lucky to have a cast on for 2 weeks - that's not normal for ligament tears - they really must have had a wonderful chance to heal

6:17 am

poor Lucius!

We are so mean. It is good though that he barked at it

6:21 am

that's funny - my missing o was od4.4 - of course it is spelled incorrectly which is why I don't 'see' it

6:21 am

How did you tear it originally Ata?

6:21 am

I find that one hard too

6:22 am

walking the dog LOL

6:22 am

ACL Atalante?

6:22 am

yep Jean, and strained MCL

Hi everyone! Lynxx - can I get your ginger beer cake recipe? My mum is such a fan of ginger beer

6:23 am

but it didn't just tear all by itself walking along surely?

hi Jean

I wrecked my ACL too a couple years ago

Thanks Lynxx

6:26 am

lol! mine was totally the other way round, everyone thought I'd done something dramatic and I slipped ona rock on a footpath

6:26 am

lol Espritd, if you must do it then that is how to do it!

6:27 am

maybe you should borrow Espritd's story Ata

6:27 am

I think I should :)

I never had it reconstructed though

6:27 am

8:38 am

good luck rubyfoo. The CD of your son is wonderful. Great music, wonderful voice.

8:38 am

8:38 am

when I was still running, I did two 10K races, barely made it!

8:39 am

thank you, sprite, I was afraid to ask if you liked it!

8:39 am

8:39 am

*proud mom*

8:39 am

8:40 am

I admire you runners. I couldn't do it!

8:40 am

lol,if i ran,the earth would shake

8:41 am

*wonders who sprite is looking at and calling a runner*

8:41 am

Nancy Boy in action and you in spirit, EvaN

8:41 am

Lol! the state of shock came the morning after ;) I signed up in a state of super-hero-like intoxication. The kind of drunk where you climb up buildings because you think you can jump safely from the top ;)

8:41 am

yes. my spirit is very active and thin. :)

8:42 am

crossy, I think you tried some day then! I felt it ;)

8:44 am

ill gladly give nb 15 kilos of my bulk lol

8:44 am

oh if only that were possible, crossy, then I would contribute too!

8:44 am

lol

8:44 am

you're gonna give me a complex! :)

8:45 am

nah, that part I would keep, grin.

8:45 am

LOL! Sprite :)

8:46 am

8:53 am

or somehow get brain, period? ;) ;)

8:53 am

i have one in here somewhere... i used it once...

8:53 am

I know the feeling!

8:53 am

it should be as good as new, hardly ever used it...

8:54 am

we should switch jobs Eva ;) I can do what you do and you can spend your evenings covered in beer and the hands of horny men. Doesn't sound so bad when I put it that way ;)

8:54 am

as long as they are nice horny men, it sounds ok.

8:56 am

i did spend part of the evening having my chesticles ogled by some college-aged guys. of course, thats because i let dear fiance choose the top i wore + well, lets just say the fashion tape had to come into play to keep everything in place and decent.

8:56 am

woooooot EvaN, wtg :D And LOL @ chesticles. Great word.

8:57 am

lol Sprite! well, sometimes I am very glad that there is a big chunk of wood (no pun intended) separating me from them.

8:57 am

lol@chesticles LOL

8:57 am

hope they are not that hairy lol

8:57 am

oh dear Eva ;) still, college-age eh...?

8:58 am

they were drinking, but i think just barely. one of them had his back to me, but he kept turning completely around and full-on staring. it was amusing.

8:59 am

so am I, Nancy Boy :) You are precious, my precioussssss, not for everyone to have.

8:59 am

lol EvaN, not bad, such attention.

9:00 am

darn program is hicuuping on me

9:00 am

give it a good sudden fright, crossy, that might help

9:01 am

evas boobs on display are making my fingers shake i suppose lol

9:01 am

LOL Crossy!

9:01 am

theyre not on display NOW crossy! im at work. nothing titilating here. ;)

9:01 am

not just your fingers

9:02 am

sometimes I think you'd love to be in my shoes, Crossy. It is a vast irony in the life of straight men that, actually, homosexuality is the ticket to boobies :)

9:02 am

yaa i just monkied a co 7/36 i have never heard of;)))

9:03 am

wtg crossy!

9:03 am

like your old friends crossy

9:03 am

oh no - thats the cr7 sorry

9:04 am

its true. NB has probably seen more mammaries in his life than a straight man could dare to dream.

9:05 am

if I could have my pick, I'd be bisexual. The best of both worlds.

9:05 am

lol,when i was younger,i used to hang with a good friend of mine,who had different romantic interests that i did,it woorked great,ladies flock to him and crossy lays in wait lol

9:05 am

so, crossy... next time out you must pretend to be gay, so you can enjoy the sight ;)

9:05 am

oh, that is smart too

9:06 am

and he used to pick over my friends,worked all around

9:07 am

that's pretty interesting, Sprite. I sometimes think the same thing, since I've had some girlfriends (long story), but I don't think I'd suit being any other way

9:08 am

NB did the impossible -- he spied his prey and managed to turn him! ;)

9:09 am

I think you are right, Nancy Boy. We are the way we are, and any such change would make us somebody else.

9:09 am

lol, oh wow!

9:10 am

85 words and wondering how there can be almost as much left to find.

9:10 am

i am struggling at 49 in

9:10 am

LOL Eva. I wouldn't say I worked towards it, it was more a happy accident ;) I was relieved though. I was very much in luuurve and when I was finally forced to confess (another long story) I was pretty lucky not to get a punch in the face - let alone anything else!

9:11 am

you know that song? "Words.... don't come easy to me...

9:11 am

crossy - do you list?

9:11 am

not yet mnh

9:11 am

i try not to list till 50%

9:12 am

its definiately needed today - I'm even struggling with the list but have gotten up to 109

9:12 am

morewords is helping too

9:12 am

no list, usually, but I think this grid may make it necessary, lol

9:13 am

either way, NB my love, its a rarity from what ive heard to be able to set your sights on someone on the other team and win them!

9:14 am

well ya know Eva, everyone needs a skill ;)

9:14 am

I do believe that true love is about people, not about sexuality.

9:14 am

lol Nancy Boy!

9:14 am

ahh found the people who help rock groups set up

9:14 am

sprite!!!!!

9:15 am

interesting, sprite. that very idea is the basis of the book im reading at the moment. im interested to find out if love wins, in the end.

9:15 am

kje!!!!!!!!! *hugs* and a bit of shaking you because I never see you!

9:15 am

must be an interesting book, EvaN. I hope love will find a way.

9:15 am

>brain rattles*... well maybe there is a reason why! LOL

9:16 am

dr hook//roland the ro6/21(pl) and gertrude the groupie lol

9:16 am

LOL :D

9:16 am

how have you been?

9:16 am

which book are you reading, EvaN?

9:16 am

i do not know anything about love..all crossy knows about women is that it has something to do with chocolate

9:17 am

here is a great story! check it out

9:17 am

it is called "Trans-Sister Radio" by Chris Bohjalian

9:17 am

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/07/spor ts/soccer/07rhoden.html

9:17 am

I agree whole-heartedly with that, Sprite. Love knows no gender; love is never wrong ;)

9:17 am

am good! Finally out of the pit and trying to get my life back. Step by step.... very patiently.... LOL!

9:18 am

good for you, sprite... (((HUGS))) hang in there

9:18 am

thanks EvaN, wrote it down, something to read some day.

9:18 am

it is about a woman who falls in love with a man who, unbeknownst to her, is in the early phases of a sex change. he ends up having the operation to become a woman, and they struggle to find out if the relationship will survive. of course, there are many other contributing factors... im a little over halfway done...

9:18 am

crossy is being overly modest. Because crossy has a lovely wife and she wouldn't be with you if you weren't worth it.

9:20 am

17 years this oct,so she gets a chocolate fondue lol

9:20 am

a friend of mine is living through that right now, EvaN! Fell in love with a man, was living with him and found out he liked to dress as a woman. But he kept it hidden. She encouraged him to follow his heart and now he is in his 'trial' period, living as a woman. If all goes well, he will get his change operation.

9:21 am

they are still together and still very much in love. She never had feelings for women before, but she loves the person he/she is.

9:22 am

this book would be quite interesting for them, then! i love bohjalians writing, in general. im a fan of his work. but what i love most is his ability to write in several voices within the same book, as he does in this one. he writes as the woman, her daughter, her ex husband, and her new lover (both as a man and as a woman).

9:22 am

17 years, beautiful, crossy. And wow, a chocolate fondue. That is true love.

9:22 am

I must read it, and tell my friends about it too.

9:22 am

clue for the io6/21 please

9:23 am

17 years...wow. If I can cling on to Leo that long, it'll have been half my life! the better half.

9:23 am

sprite, i will try to remember to tell you if i still like the book once it is over. :)

9:23 am

hmz, don't have that one yet, only a 6/18. Will try and find it, Momnh.

9:23 am

please do, EvaN! I will try and ask.

9:24 am

lol Nancy Boy, you will. Just don't cling ;)

9:25 am

io6 - add a chemical to table salt

9:25 am

NB, you know youd better share photos with us in 17 years. ;)

9:25 am

io6/21 - exactly the same as the io6/18 save for a consonant in the middle.

9:25 am

oh just like the 18, momnh, just change the first consonant.

9:25 am

snap Haz, and hi

9:25 am

ah yes like salt - thanks haz

9:26 am

Hello!

9:26 am

9:26 am

9:27 am

9:27 am

Half way home ... time to walk ... bbl

9:27 am

lol, Eva! Can't begin to imagine what I'd look like in 17 years. I'd be 36!

9:27 am

hi and bye Merk

9:27 am

bye merk

9:28 am

time to rest when your dead, sprite ; )

9:28 am

no, I will take a vaca in August.... so looking forward to that

9:28 am

nah, have been dead, is overrated. Now I live and rest and enjoy, much better. ;)

9:29 am

Nancy Boy: and when you will be 36, you will feel that you are young!

9:29 am

actually, in august i am taking a sail boat cruise with nrkii

9:30 am

really? Oh that is great! Good to hear she will be able to travel. I hope you will all have a wonderful time.

9:30 am

I will always be Young. It's my name :)

9:31 am

it should be fun... off the coast of maine

9:31 am

hehehe Nancy Boy, then you will always be Young x 2

9:31 am

co 6/24, please?

9:31 am

oh man. thats 17 years away for you? just another 5 years for me. *feels un-Young*

9:31 am

plural of co 5; a type of home

9:32 am

the one i have is a plural apartment, nan

9:32 am

plural for the home word?

9:32 am

co6/24 - has the infamous robotic ending.

9:32 am

hi cara.ee

9:32 am

have that, thanks -- looking for the last one

9:32 am

that was almost 17 years AGO for me

9:32 am

9:32 am

ty haz

9:32 am

TY Haz! Needed that one!

9:32 am

lol Momnh, age is what you feel inside.

9:32 am

cybernan - try my clue at 9.32.

9:32 am

Hello Sprite! Hello everyone!

9:33 am

thnx Haz

9:33 am

true sprite -- some days it's 30 and others, it's 90

9:33 am

Hello car. You're welcome.

9:33 am

*wondering what the robotic ending did to become infamous*

9:33 am

We don't like to talk about it, kje.

9:34 am

lol Haz

9:34 am

Time heals most things...

9:34 am

lol

9:34 am

lol, Kje! It showed up to all the right parties and did all the wrong things..

9:34 am

indeed, nan!

9:34 am

that sounds like fun, nancy...

9:35 am

must have had a helluva time, that ending

9:35 am

happy mo6 everyone!

9:35 am

hi dan!

9:35 am

I think at one party the ending did too many jello shots

9:36 am

Hello dan and ruru.

9:36 am

hiya ruru

9:36 am

the men have arrived - good morning boys

9:36 am

hi dan2 and ru

9:36 am

ahem. Mom ;)

9:36 am

*mumbles something about silly british people with their capitalised names for da4*

9:37 am

right now Edna is giving sprite the fish-eye

9:37 am

sorry NB - you fit in so well with us girls

9:37 am

*hangs head in shame*

9:38 am

Nancy Boy was representing the men very adequately

9:38 am

ohhhhhh Dame Edna! So sorry, possum.

9:39 am

lol Mom! I was protesting on behalf of Crossy as well ;)

9:40 am

Crossy has nothing left to prove ;)

9:41 am

bbl, must run.... great to see you sprite!

9:41 am

and you, kje! Wanted to say that I love your icon. Have fun!

9:41 am

some very strange words my monkeys are finding today

9:42 am

bye kje

9:42 am

isn't that the truth, Momnh!

9:43 am

mo 8, please? -- have the first 5 letters, but can't monkey the ending

9:43 am

mo8 - the complete opposite of stereo lives.

9:43 am

I dont have it sorry

9:43 am

It's the plural for the mo6 that follows.

9:44 am

ies

9:44 am

beautiful clue, Haz, thank you

9:44 am

great clue haz - thanks

9:44 am

nice clue. crazy word!

9:44 am

ty haz

9:44 am

You're welcome.

9:45 am

*le sigh* had to move my space heater, per doctors orders, and now i feel so chilly in the office! may have to wear long sleeves through the summer. :(

9:45 am

OMG - did you see all the pa's listed - where the heck are they???

9:46 am

What has your doctor got against the heater?

9:46 am

EvaN, why did the doctor order that?

9:46 am

just don't look, Momnh, and enjoy the game ;)

9:46 am

oh no, Eva! why was that? :(

9:48 am

dunno if you all remember my complaining of a rash across my ankles. finally went to the doc last week + she thinks thats whats causing it... going back in a few weeks for a biopsy to be sure, but she seems fairly confident. gave it some long, medical name i have never heard of...

9:49 am

So, the infamous robotic ending didn't have anything to do with it? You had me worried.

9:50 am

i dunno... maybe the ending DID have something to do with it... *looks suspiciously at robotic ending*

9:50 am

ah ok! Well, if that rash isn't anything worse, it is good news, right? Even if you have to dress warmer. You could make wrist warmers, they really help.

9:50 am

okay - i am trying to keep my eyes off the chog but what is up with the "infamous robotic ending "?

9:51 am

rashoid pyromatixia, Haz

9:51 am

We used to blame most things on FM. New thinking is that the infamous robotic ending might be the culprit after all.

9:51 am

hi dobie, welcome to the chog, grin. We know how to lure people in, don't we.

9:51 am

its no HUGE issue if i have to part with the heater, but i am cold-blooded by nature, so it will make my time here much more uncomfortable -- especially since the guy who sits across from me has his fan running all day and wouldnt dare do something nice for someone else and turn it off.

9:52 am

that guy is an ass, EvaN. But take note of the wrist warmers. No kidding, they help.

9:52 am

ah i see ... so it IS a conspiracy!

9:52 am

i may need wrist, neck, and ankle warmers...heh

9:53 am

jmd - I used the term 'infamous robotic ending' for 'oid'. kje wondered what the ending had done to become infamous....

9:53 am

hey haz -- has anyone looked into the possibility that FM unleashed the infamous robotic ending? thus rendering everything still her fault??

9:54 am

You could be onto something, EvaN. FM could well be to blame after all. Good thinking.

9:54 am

now that is good thinking, EvaN. We must investigate this.

9:54 am

we know how much she wants to be rid of the blame. it would be just like her to unleash such a thing...

9:54 am

keep wanting paranoid

9:54 am

I think the lack of space heater has rendered your brain cells extra eager to work. That doctor may be smarter than we think.

9:54 am

I know FM well and she would have nothing to do with an oid ending..period..

9:55 am

I know FM even better and I wouldn't put anything past her.

9:55 am

lol

9:55 am

I'd blame FM, definitely

9:55 am

FMoid running wild. Oo4.

9:55 am

FM has ruru fooled with her feminine wiles...

9:55 am

Ata! *hugs*

9:55 am

See? Ata thinks so as well.

9:56 am

perhaps FM is under the influence of a 'viroid'

9:56 am

Could the new cleaner be a viroid in disguise? (Must look up viroid)

9:56 am

a toxoid viroid, methinks

9:57 am

the closest she has come to oid is saving a white somoyoid

9:57 am

Une! :) I should play at this time more often.

9:57 am

samoyed

9:57 am

hey, sprite! :-)

9:57 am

...er.. I was making a joke une..

9:57 am

samoyoid, today

9:57 am

i figured, as soon as I typed it! LOL

9:57 am

i believe i heard about viroids on an old star trek episode (or perhaps i was hallucinating)

9:58 am

hallucinating, or maybe it was the viroids making pictures in your brain

9:58 am

and on that note, i am off to a meeting. enjoy OIDing FM whilst im gone, and hopefully i will return soon. :)

9:58 am

so, ruru, any particular reason you're not posting a new pic of your canine sweetie?

9:58 am

une has rafaviroid

9:58 am

sigh . . .

9:58 am

We'll probably have to avOID her for a while. She'll get stroppy.

9:59 am

photo challenged <<<<<

9:59 am

good luck, EvaN, and I hope the meeting room is warmer ;)

9:59 am

I have some coming though..

9:59 am

p's done -- whew

9:59 am

kudos on the moonlight walk, haz!!

9:59 am

Bye EvaN.

9:59 am

cool, ruru!!

9:59 am

oh no, no avOIDing FM. She is way too cool for that.

9:59 am

congrats, nan!!

9:59 am

and get haemorrhoids

9:59 am

Trust Ata!

10:00 am

she's probably deVOID of viroids

10:00 am

no - she rubs it in - there are no p's out there other than a daddy a fruit and a check

10:00 am

Thanks, Une, it's getting closer...

10:00 am

come on, Ata, you only say that because you found a thingmahgic that hides yours ;)

10:03 am

10:04 am

Knowing that FM's middle name is Ermintrude - is it really Ermintroid instead?

10:04 am

pr5/16 p + pinkish

10:04 am

I'd think so

10:04 am

yes, haz!! LOL

10:04 am

been trying that haz -- obviously the wrong vowel -- monkeys must have missed one

10:04 am

we will ask FM :D

10:05 am

they did!! -- ty

10:05 am

oh is that what that means - i got the pr's - working on the clues - thanks all

10:05 am

where is she anyway?

10:05 am

avoiding us for sure

10:05 am

thought we would have called her up by now

10:05 am

Probably hunkered down plotting her revenge.

10:05 am

i have an adorable beaglet snoring loudly right behind me :-)

10:05 am

awwwww Une

10:05 am

beaglet?

10:05 am

that's right mom

10:23 am

It's either FM's fault or your picture is too big.

10:24 am

too big. but I recognise the beach!!

nm, I'll go back to lurking now....

could have been a whole new branch of her education

12:03 pm

the quiet is starting to freak me out a bit..will have to get her better soon

12:03 pm

I just scheduled my first colonoscopy--benefit of turning 50.

12:03 pm

Is Elegant a chatterbox?

12:03 pm

so scrabs, i wanted to thank you for urging me to go to the doctor about that rash on my ankles.

12:03 pm

Oh, I get to have one next week. I can't wait.

12:03 pm

my wifes 2nd colonscopy is coming at the end of the month

12:03 pm

What is it, EN?

12:04 pm

Gail, mine is Friday, June 18th. I just want it over with.

12:04 pm

wifes is the 18th lol

12:04 pm

*hoping EN does not have psoriasis*

12:04 pm

Oh, so is mine. At 8 AM, I think. I don't mind the test, it's the prep I hate.

12:04 pm

i dont know the name she used, but basically, she thinks it is because of the space heater i have under my desk at work. i have a biopsy scheduled for later this month, just to be sure.

12:04 pm

the first one hurt her

12:04 pm

She + I should chat on the 17th as we "prepare" for the big event

12:05 pm

Hey, me too. I wanna be in on the prep party!

12:05 pm

I went through a bowel prep before my last abd surgery--yes, I thought I would die before I even had the operation.

12:05 pm

Interesting, EN

12:05 pm

and i have to get her a jug of peglyte

12:05 pm

Gail + me + Elegant = Poopy Party on 17th=18th.

12:06 pm

12:06 pm

I mean 17th + 18th

12:06 pm

she is dreading it

12:06 pm

Yep, I will bring the jello.

12:06 pm

she told me some story about female irish sheep herders or something who would spend all day outside in the cold + wet, and when they came inside, they would sit in front of the fire, and they would develop these similar rashes... thats what she thinks it is.

we don't get routine colonscopies here - just an occult blood test

12:07 pm

a rash that only irish sheep get?? how odd

12:07 pm

must be the brogue lol

12:07 pm

Oops. Nope, EN.

oo4 is also in the grid today..

12:09 pm

Don't feel bad, I had a form of pneumonia once that only pigs get.

12:10 pm

get some of the good strong hydrocortizone cream

12:10 pm

i wish i had asked the doc to write it down. would be very interested to look into it. she seemed sure a steroid would fix it, but shes not gonna treat it until after the biopsy, just to be sure.

12:10 pm

crossy, tried it. worked the first time, useless after that.

12:10 pm

So I apologize for using a grid by using a grid word. Good move, Scrabbler.

12:10 pm

the good strong rx stuff?

12:11 pm

well, no. thats why i went to the doc, but shes thinking steroid instead. :)

12:11 pm

and it is on your ankles?

12:11 pm

Hydrocortisone is a mild potency steroid. Next step = mid-potency.

12:11 pm

yup. just the front.

12:12 pm

do not wear tube socks..wear tennis or bootie socks

12:12 pm

2:29 pm

I like 10 mins from a beach and practically live on it

2:29 pm

ahhh - thats OK - I have a lake 10 minutes away with a nice beach but too many people so I avoid that as well

2:29 pm

2:30 pm

I like that word citiots

2:30 pm

oh come here you annoying last pa7!

2:31 pm

we coined it,here in wasaga for the summer ones and in collingwood for the winter variety

the winter citiot has more money but is ruder and less likely to spend it,while his summer cousin has less,but will share,but then will destroy everything around him

3:04 pm

Ata, sending you lots of healing thoughts and prayers. I fell off a ladder cleaning gutters in the mid-90's and have had surgery on both MCLs (one repaired and 1 removed. Ruined my hip-hop jazz dancing career

3:04 pm

Where abouts mnh? You know we have Internet here, you might be able to get to Babble. :^)

3:05 pm

ouch ouch!!

3:06 pm

I dont have a laptop. Westford Regency Conference Center. 2 day seminar - so staying there as there will be a dinner/banquet tomorrow night and not up to driving 1 1/2 hrs home especially after a few cocktails.

3:06 pm

Now I can enjoy myself and crawl to my room

3:06 pm

if needed that is

3:06 pm

Well, there is something to be said for that.

3:06 pm

Some conference centers have computers that you can use if you're desparate, Momn.

3:07 pm

I work right down the road in Littleton.

3:07 pm

This is true - we will see how the withdrawals go

3:07 pm

need one of those new i-pads

3:07 pm

we can do the wave

3:08 pm

those are weird

3:08 pm

Ata, will you need surgery on your knee or is there a way to avoid it now?

3:08 pm

anyway, I do need to go - daughter has a game - bye all *poof*

3:08 pm

bye Momn

3:09 pm

the only reason i will not buy an i-pad is it does not accept e-pub files

3:10 pm

phantom: sayonara, papoose

3:10 pm

what are e-pub files?

3:10 pm

clue for last sp 5

3:10 pm

Hey, one of my favorite Celtics is in the grid today.

3:10 pm

e-pub files are the standard format ofr all e-books that are lent from libraries

3:11 pm

it is the best format for all e books

3:11 pm

Don't know if it the last, but the one sp5 I have is animal droppings.

3:12 pm

uses half the space of pfd,s also

3:12 pm

oh really! how sily - so those cheap readers are better for those? Dymocks have them for about AUD200 here

3:12 pm

but ill spare you my e-book reader rantings and ravings

3:12 pm

kobo is the new basic reader

3:13 pm

And there is a cr4 synonym for sp5. I hope that isn't an indication of how the grid is today.

3:13 pm

and i recommend it for starting out if all you want to do is read

3:14 pm

very basic and user friendly

3:14 pm

yes, wht, it is.

3:14 pm

this grid is evil

3:15 pm

I am sorry to hear that about the grid. But I don't care. I am in such a good mood today that not much could wreck it.

3:15 pm

Hello all

3:20 pm

How lovely WHT!

3:20 pm

It rained for her bridal shower - that was the storm that flooded Rhode Island.

3:21 pm

It rained every time my wife and daughter went took the dress to the seamstress.

3:21 pm

It rained as we were leaving for the rehearsal.

3:22 pm

And it rained for the wedding. So I hope she has a good store of good luck established.

3:23 pm

Did the skies cry for you (losing your daughter)?

3:23 pm

The weather forcast yesterday morning included a tornado watch. All of a sudden, rain didn't seem so bad.

3:23 pm

LOL! I bet!

3:23 pm

Oh absitively and posolutely, wht!

3:24 pm

(That referredt to lots of good luck)

3:24 pm

You guys had bad tornados yesterday I heard, lives lost too I was very sad to hear

3:24 pm

No, the sky's weren't crying because I wasn't crying. I haven't lost her. And we like his family and they live a mile from us, so now we have gained some new friends.

3:25 pm

Nef, I think you lose sons, not daughters, when they get married.

3:25 pm

That's good, wht. It must be a good sign then (as jilli said)

3:25 pm

Lucky you, wht!

3:26 pm

My daughter and her fiance did all the planning for the wedding. I happy for her and I was so proud to see what a good job she did, and how thoughtful she was.

3:26 pm

ah, jilli, I found that out when my son married. :-( My daughter claims she doubts if she will get married; and definitely won't bear children (due to family health histories)

3:27 pm

That's so nice, wht!

3:27 pm

Maybe there will be some genetic marvels ahead, nef.

3:29 pm

we can only hope, jilli. Although I keep reminding DH that his M.S. hasn't been anything like his mothers'

3:30 pm

There are so many improvements in the treatment of it today

3:31 pm

A heredity aspect to MS? Has he had his jugular checked? (That new theory).

3:32 pm

Could someone please clue for that 3rd row, 4th column A? Just the letter count, please. Thanks

3:32 pm

ar4.5

3:32 pm

ad4/5 I think, nef

3:32 pm

Would if I had it.

3:33 pm

lynxx is right, sorry.

3:33 pm

hi again does anyone have a clue for the pa 5/16 please

3:34 pm

There IS a "familial" aspect of MS. For him, his mother had a 25% chance of passing it on to her child (he's the only child); but for men, there's less than a 5% chance of passing it on

3:34 pm

ty lynxxx

3:34 pm

sorry, kazzer, not me

3:34 pm

pa5,16 is like the ma5.16 of the town

3:34 pm

thanks lynxxx (and jilli!) :-)

3:34 pm

ty lyn

3:35 pm

never mind got it after much monkeying and bribing them with chocolate peanuts

3:35 pm

Thanks for the info, nef.

Can anyone clue the O on the second column, second row for NBT?

3:35 pm

I have friends (several!) with MS.

Can anyone clue the O on the second column, second row for NBT?

3:36 pm

ty lynxxx for a twofer

Can anyone clue the O on the second column, second row for NBT?

3:39 pm

as far as that ir** in the veins to the head theory, his neurologist said he wasn't too hopeful; but he'd review the research again

3:43 pm

nbt.

3:44 pm

YAY, wht! It took me 64 words to reach that point (and I needed a clue for it too)

3:45 pm

It took me 74 words for me, nef. And I took advantage of some of the clues other's asked for.

3:46 pm

*lurk lurk lurk*

3:46 pm

Hi jmc

3:47 pm

Did you see my report on my daughter's wedding?

3:47 pm

late enough here that my staff is leaving so I can get so** babble time in

3:47 pm

just saw about the rain -- was if in the manner of friends?

3:48 pm

*it

3:49 pm

No jmc. He husband was raised Catholic and so they opted for getting a JP rather than navigating a religious ceremony.

3:49 pm

makes sense

3:49 pm

I trust it was in doors

3:50 pm

We had planned it to be out in the garden but yes, it was indoors.

3:50 pm

4:01 pm

4:01 pm

4:02 pm

Bye everyone

4:02 pm

hi everyone

4:02 pm

4:03 pm

Nef, how is Mr. Nef doing?

4:03 pm

hi mom

4:03 pm

makes it tough to pay your bills, huh

4:03 pm

Hi Jmcnrick

4:03 pm

ty Pinny

4:03 pm

ah who needs to pay bills! lol

4:06 pm

i want either moody or mopey in the grid :-(

4:06 pm

hi Mom. We are settling in to our new normal here; he does some stuff that he doesn't realize isn't safe. We had a big arguement about it this AM (or, rather, *I* got upset and cross with him. He thought *I* was over-reacting. That's the extent of a "big fight" here)

4:06 pm

is it stuff you can discuss with the OT and PT?

4:07 pm

{{Nef}}

4:07 pm

may they be few and far between, Nef

4:07 pm

OT is now done, he's having Pt and speech therapy at home, starting tomorrow

4:08 pm

Mom, I think we've had maybe 5 "big fights" in our whole marriage of 35 years! They are few and far between

4:09 pm

**sigh** took me 75 words to get NBT .... now to just get halfway.

4:09 pm

wtg mom!

4:09 pm

Oh Nef, that is wonderful. I am sure the "big fights" were just misunderstandings

4:09 pm

thanks jmc

4:10 pm

lol I had at least that many big fights (complete with slammed doors and throwing things) in one week with my hubby. We were sorta demonstrative. lol

took me 58 to get NBT

4:10 pm

Hi Tea

hi mom

4:11 pm

*smug* it took me 22

you rock, jmc

4:11 pm

Oh jmc, I couldn't stomach that.

4:11 pm

wtg Jmc

4:11 pm

of course most grids i don't get nbt! lol

4:11 pm

we've always been very compatible: what one of us doesn't do well, the other always has done great at (such as cooking and cleaning, etc)

I'm ignoring crackers at the moment so I am distracted by his blathering ;)

4:12 pm

oh it was just the nature of our relationship. We'd be at it hammer and tongs and then one of us would crack and joke and it would blow over and we would be laughing at what we were yelling about

4:12 pm

sounds nice nef to have that kind of partnership

4:13 pm

Sweetie and I are like that Nef.

4:14 pm

Oh Tea, how old is crackers?

4 almost 5 (next month)

4:14 pm

oh, the perfect age

4:14 pm

one of the things we did from the beginning was to "decide" to argue or fight. Most of the time when one of us was prickly, the other would say "do you want to fight?" and the first one would have to slow down and THINK about it

I'm frustrated with him today, so I am trying not to lose my cool at the moment

4:15 pm

here, I will take him

4:15 pm

hang in there tean!

you can ahve him, if you'll give him back potty trained.

4:15 pm

good lord! just read up on the upcoming -phone4 and the thing does everything but make coffee!.now the big question is how much rogers(who has a monopoly on i phone servie in canada) is going to charge?

*have

4:16 pm

what? it doesn't make coffee? *shocked look*

4:16 pm

can I keep him until 1st grade

4:16 pm

i-phone 4*

sure, fine by me ;)

4:16 pm

you can visit whenever you would like.

4:17 pm

after 17 years i have learned when to fight and when not to and to decide if the victory is worth the effot and the hell afterwards lol

4:17 pm

no sense winning the battle,if you lose the war lol

4:17 pm

pick your battles, eh Crossy?

4:17 pm

indeed mom

ok, off to change another poopie butt, see you all later

4:18 pm

the hell was always worth it to hubby and me! lol

4:18 pm

bye tean

4:18 pm

was reading earlier, sorry Elegant is not feeling well

4:18 pm

bye bye Tea {{hugs crackers}}

4:18 pm

very true, crossy. I've never been a fighter; so I'm glad DH felt the same way

4:18 pm

not to worry mom,i have her all ensconed on the couch with all the nessasaries

4:19 pm

poor elegant send her my best wishes

4:19 pm

4:21 pm

4:24 pm

okay i need to actually work for a bit bb when I get home

4:24 pm

I got the vicks part, crossy (the cat is interrupting my typing here) but it was the "chests" that I was snickering about. I hope she feels better soon

4:25 pm

bye bye jmc

4:25 pm

And my dtr. just told me she has a dry socket from having a wisdom tooth pulled last Thursday. So I need to see what kind of food I can puree or if I need to go shopping first

4:26 pm

oh that is terribly painful Nef. Bless her heart

4:27 pm

and that is halfway for me. Off to fix supper. {{hugs}} to all of you.

4:31 pm

WOOT! I don't HAVE to go shopping before supper. Good news for me

4:31 pm

bye Mom and jmc

4:31 pm

Hi, I'm back with 28 to look for.

4:32 pm

wtg, jilli!

4:33 pm

actually, wtg morewords.

4:33 pm

it is a big help sometimes, isn't it?

4:33 pm

I don't know how people can do these grids full of rubbish words without help!

4:36 pm

yeah. I usually try to get to half way before I open Lickety; then if I still can't do it I'll go to morewords. But I'll also just go to morewords earlier -without Lickety- if I'm in a hurry

4:36 pm

Last night dart finished quite quickly without any help (he used to do that without even the tile stats before he joined up) -- then he posted lists such as pa45456744 etc, whhich helped a bit using morewords a lot, but others finished quickly too. I'm just a dud!

4:36 pm

I have Expert so if Lickety is up I have the list right away.

4:37 pm

I use morewords. it is a big help

4:37 pm

Dart is really good at this. I used to see him fly through the grid like crazy!

4:37 pm

47 left here

4:37 pm

It's so convenient. I guess you have a Mac, nef --?

4:38 pm

I usually don't use morewords until I've been through Lickety's list once.

4:40 pm

But now so many people are posting their big finds at the beginning (mo8 and the like) that it's tempting to go there right away for those big ones. I don't like to, though -- I'd rather build them from smaller words if possible.

4:41 pm

Hi Jilli and all...Jilli how do you get Expert?

4:41 pm

Hi SeaSpray -- you just email Lickety -- but it doesn't work with Macs.

4:41 pm

Sorry, jilli, Dh spilt water and I was cleaning it up. Yes, I'm still on a mac

4:42 pm

Ok, I recalled that you had to email someone but wasn't sure who. TY

4:42 pm

Lickety invented it, Sea, and it's free.

4:43 pm

As a Mac person, *I* think Lickety should charge for Expert! ;-) (just cuz I can't get it)

4:43 pm

Now, now Nef...play nice lol

4:44 pm

Meanie! LOL

4:45 pm

I'm just jealous; not mean. I have a pc laptop, but I don't have it on there yet because DH and others use it

4:46 pm

4:47 pm

hi NB How are you tonight?

4:47 pm

4:53 pm

4:54 pm

bon appetit, nef and DH!

5:02 pm

ohhh, flower ic4s...I missed the trick with that one.

5:03 pm

NB, maybe you can find a great Ikebana for the next day too?

5:04 pm

10:10 pm

Hey, I know that song!!!!! it's a great oldie!

10:10 pm

Jac ~ if it's really 4 am. go to bed! why are you awake? Although I will admit I love your excellent hints.

10:11 pm

hi again. Minski, I've come to the conclusion that Jac never sleeps! ;-)

10:12 pm

Minski - I will go to bed when my body tells me to, but thanks for the advice.

10:12 pm

hi Nef ;)

10:13 pm

Jac sleeps when her hot flushes and/oor Other Half's snoring, tooth grinding, sleep talking, twitching and truck drivin in sleep allows her to.

10:13 pm

* koda time * brb

10:14 pm

hi Pini (and jac) :-)

10:15 pm

Jac had a laugh at the end of last week, though. After staying in a holiday 'villa' (a 1950s chalet with a tiled roof), Jac and her Other Half and Stepdaughter, and Other Half's neice

10:15 pm

Jac had a laugh at the end of last week, though. After staying in a holiday 'villa' (a 1950s chalet with a tiled roof), Jac and her Other Half and Stepdaughter, and Other Half's neice

10:15 pm

hi all

10:17 pm

hi shdy

10:17 pm

niece* were al packed up and set to leave. Othwer Half, who had been kicked out of bed twice in the week for snoring so loud I could hear him through my ear plugs and ended up scrunched up trying to sleep on a tiny 3-seater settee, pulled the 3 seat cushions off it just before we left to be sure no one had left anything behind lost under a cushion. That was the moment he realised it was a sofa BED.

10:18 pm

Oh, how we (me, his daughter and his niece laughed).

10:18 pm

hello all! SHADY!!! (((Hugs)))

10:18 pm

hi stid

10:19 pm

Jac, that is hilarious! How tallis he?

10:19 pm

Stid, <<big higsback, missed you>>

10:19 pm

Other Half is starting to smile a bit about it now, but he didn't find if funny at the time. However, his cricked neck and his bad knee are better now. ROFLOL.

10:20 pm

Nef - he's 6 foot 2 inches and the sofa was about 4 foot long.

10:20 pm

ok, not higs, hugs

10:20 pm

oh my Jac! you are MEAN! LOL

10:20 pm

oh, MY! I can imagine that he didn't sleep well at all then!

10:21 pm

God I miss all of you

10:21 pm

That'll 'teach him' for snoring so loud no ear plugs can block it out!

10:22 pm

it has been sooooo long. I only just finished my year's work and have time to be online for extended periods again.

10:23 pm

***hugs stid***

10:23 pm

Where you been shdy?

10:23 pm

missed my friends

10:24 pm

working, lots

10:25 pm

working is, I suppose, better than the alternative.

10:25 pm

very true, stid

10:25 pm

taking care of Dad, meeting love of life, busy

10:25 pm

how is your excellent man, Nef? are you getting enough sleep?

10:26 pm

ooooh. Love of Life? *sits down to hear story*

10:26 pm

Stid - well, next time we go on holiday with both his daughter and his neice, he'll have to be sure to book a chalet or a villa with 3 bedrooms.

10:26 pm

no big story, jist nice guy

10:26 pm

Love of My Llife - excellent Queen song.

10:27 pm

that's a good plan, Jac! and where will he sleep? *wicked mama look*

10:27 pm

The Snorer is the love of my life, too. No one is perfect.

10:27 pm

that's wonderful, shady. ((hugs)) my tom is a nice guy too. I am so lucky

10:28 pm

sorry stid, but i have missed you

10:28 pm

Stid - the girls sleep in the same room, which leaves me and Beloved free to be in same room or apart.

10:29 pm

oh! we have lickety today! LOL

10:29 pm

gosh i miss all of you!

10:29 pm

My DH made me mad at him today; he has to learn about safety issues. He had about 4 incidents where he didn't think about his own safety today; the first one was a biggy: he came outof the house without waiting for me to assist him and using the walker to go down the 2 steps by himself. He can't find his balance and isn't safe doing stuff like that with a walker without help

10:29 pm

LOL shady! if you miss us so much, drop a BIG word in the chog and join me in the PB!

10:29 pm

I think you had Lickety yesterday, too. I've only had to do the stats twice since I came home from holiday.

10:30 pm

yikes, Nef! that is NOT good. *worried mama look* shall I send you my bubble wrap supply?

10:31 pm

mo8/50 = not stereo + expires (life ends).

10:31 pm

Big word drop. LOL

10:31 pm

thanks Jac -- not exactly a HAPPY word! LOL

10:31 pm

will do my best, stidmama, with a hug, now searching

10:32 pm

the PT therapist will be coming early tomorrow AM before I go to work at 10; so he should get a 3rd person telling him off

10:32 pm

GOOD. the more people who tell him, the better.

10:32 pm

Nef - nagging is good, when it has a good cause.

10:33 pm

Unless it's ME. The more nagging that goes on, the more rebellious I become. See Red Hat Society.

10:34 pm

jax, i missed you too

10:34 pm

Hi shdy

10:35 pm

hey lady

10:35 pm

Heyas again ..

10:35 pm

Hi Torg.

10:35 pm

Well, I went ballistic on him this AM. I called it a big fight afterwards; but we don't do "fights" like so** people do.

10:35 pm

hey tor!

10:35 pm

r5, r5, where for art thou r5?

10:36 pm

just passed halfway. could I have the two single O tiles for NBT? the upper O in the second column and the O in the fourth column that is

10:36 pm

hey sam

10:36 pm

...and back (for as long as Koda allows)

10:36 pm

donde es Haz?

10:36 pm

hey

hi all

10:36 pm

or4

10:36 pm

the R5 is a voice that is harsh and grating, builds on the ra 4 that is a wood working tool

10:36 pm

os4

10:36 pm

hey tea! (((hugs))) hey pini! *pats Koda*

10:36 pm

;)

10:37 pm

thanks for the OR 4

10:37 pm

and the OS 4. KNEW they'd be babblets! LOL

10:37 pm

Yesterday, I was psyching myself up to deal with my stepdaughter after her best friend at school's mother, who has been in a coma for about 3 months with lung cancer, had her life support turned off. Her daughter, son and husband were with her on Monday. They've turned the life support off now.

10:38 pm

oh my, Jac. (((hugs))) hard stuff to deal with at any age

10:38 pm

how sad, Jac

10:38 pm

Did it when they were there, rather than when they'd gone. I wonder who give the hospital the right to do that, though?

I'm sorry, Jac - hugs

10:39 pm

in the U.S., an advanced directive can be written telling hospitals that life support should be turned off if certain conditions are met

10:39 pm

Holy crap, it's so f'ing cold here

10:39 pm

I might have to go chop some wood and light the fire

10:39 pm

Jac; *I* would want to be there if it was my family. After seeing that done many times through my 34 years of ICU; it's much better that way.

where's here, samnz

10:39 pm

My fingers are turning purple

10:39 pm

either the family gives permission, or, if it is felt to be a futile case, an ethics committee is called in and the decision can be made without the family's consent - the latter is almost never done in the US

10:39 pm

New Zealand

10:39 pm

why is it so cold sam? are you up north?

10:40 pm

New Zealand

10:40 pm

oh -- it s

10:40 pm

Right down South

10:40 pm

it's winter for you. *sends warm and sun*

10:40 pm

hey kje

we are finally getting nice weather - a bit hot, but nice

10:40 pm

the family also gives their preference re: how it is done, it is their choice if they want to be there, most at least want to say goodbye immediately before, and many choose to stay

10:40 pm

welcome back for tonight, samnz

10:41 pm

Thanks Nef, I started this yesterday but only have 70 so far

10:41 pm

I think it's much easier for the family if they are there, kje

10:41 pm

They call what my Dad finally died from 'The Long Goodbye'. That's Senile Demnetia in all its various forms. But I guess a coma from which no hope of life stems is just the same. You feel a warm body, even if no one seems to be 'at home' and then it goes cold and they are gone. But, at 15 or 16, when it's your Mum, I cannot even begin to imagine the pain.

10:41 pm

I am just down to 72, thinking I will list earlier than later today

10:42 pm

and yes, stid is right re: advanced directives or medical power of attroneys/health care agents... unfortunately, many patients in the US do not take advantage of this ability to prepare

10:42 pm

Haha, play it safe and always wear a co6

jac, my grandmother died of alzheimers and my mIL is in the midst of it - it is so sad and hard

10:42 pm

I need to update my own advance directive and such. It's been ten years.

10:43 pm

that is too bad tea ((hugs)) is your husband doing okay? hard to watch a parent decline like that

10:43 pm

that would be my preference, nef... but family's are all different, and even different members will make different decisions re: their choice to be there... it is up to them

he chooses to ignore it, so it is tough

10:43 pm

yes. that is tough ((more hugs))

I talked to her tonight and she was mostly with it but we will see how she does on Saturday at the kids' recital

10:45 pm

TeA - it's not nice when your parent doesn't know who you are, but, what you have to remember is that they are regressing through their life. First, you become their wife, then their mother, and then God knows who.

10:45 pm

okay, listing with 69 to go. Just too tired to persevere further.

10:46 pm

if my mind goes like that (dementia); I would rather be "put down" than to live without it. But I also don't believe in "mercy killing" or suicide

10:46 pm

have you read "The 36 Hour Day", tea? it is a really good book for families of alzheimer's patients

10:46 pm

thanks for that title kje...

yeah, towards the end, my grandmother knew who her sisters and brothers were, but not anyone else. she used to always tell me that she wishes I had met her husband, he was such a nice man. She's right, my grandfather was a nice man. She wasn't even aware at that time that I was her granddaughter.

I'll look for it, kje, thanks

what cracked me up about that was that she would tell me and my cousins, anyone who would listen, that Raina was her favorite granddaughter (that's me).

10:48 pm

rofl Tea! at least she remembered something important...

10:48 pm

is the AD 6 fishy?

I miss her!

10:48 pm

hello

10:48 pm

no, stid... more like godly

no, it's hunky

10:49 pm

hey harpjane!

hi, harp

10:49 pm

thanks kje!

10:49 pm

aaaaww - that is sweet tea... at least she still knew your name

10:49 pm

As axed!

10:50 pm

is the CO 5/7 before the male birth control fishy?

10:51 pm

ooops. the 5 was! LOL

10:51 pm

yes
