An early good morning, but what's with all the numbers appearing in your chat?

4:04 am

Hello, Mudd. It's Dachef's fault.

4:05 am

He started posting words that inexplicably don't appear in any dictionary, but really should.

4:06 am

I'm confused!

4:08 am

Good morning all......are we all well and happy???

4:08 am

Good morning, Flask, lovely day gain.

4:08 am

No, I should be sleeping, but can't. I have to drive later and I'm af**** I'll be sleepy then.

4:08 am

If you look at the words and the definitions - they're not real, just a bit of imagination used.

4:09 am

Mmmm.......very dull and cooler here Haz....

runny rund

4:09 am

Lovely day again, that should be. Enjoying the warm weather, Flask?

4:09 am

I'll send some sunshine across!

4:10 am

Please do..;-)

4:10 am

pb Mr. P

4:16 am

Where did everyone go?

4:16 am

Just doing the grid, Mudd.

4:18 am

Everyone was talking about sunny days and all of a sudden it got so quiet.

4:19 am

It happens. There'll be quietness for a while and then it'll all start up again.

4:23 am

How many 8's are there please?

4:24 am

4 8 letter words

4:24 am

And 6 7 letter words.

I have the ex-

4:29 am

Wow, good placing of the 'x' tile ... in the middle of lots of words.

4:29 am

Yes, it gets used a lot, unlike yesterday's x that just sat there.

4:31 am

Just tripped over a babblet. We have a love/hate relationship, depending on how keen my brain is at the moment.

4:32 am

You must learn to love them.

4:32 am

I usually do.

4:33 am

I must take a break - maybe see you later. Bye for now!

4:33 am

*gone*

4:33 am

me too, bbl, need coffee

5:27 am

I am finished!

5:27 am

The chat has been quiet for almost an hour. Where is everybody?

5:28 am

See y'all tomorrow, I guess. Happy lurking and babbling.

5:53 am

hello everybody!

5:54 am

reading over the chat, dazchef's words were hilarious

5:55 am

is anybody here?

hi ruby :) just read back over dazchef chat... love it!

5:57 am

it was really funny and very clever!

5:57 am

I love puns!

I have one for gelsox!

5:58 am

.....

5:58 am

knee sox that stay up?

sox with gel pads in the bottom!

5:59 am

hahah

wouldn't they be good!

I patent them first!

6:00 am

are you a socks person? Here, the women don't wear socks or hose, even in winter

nuterol - colesterol free nut butter

I only wear slip on shoes, no sox... year round!

6:01 am

rutsox: to wear to work at your boring job

6:01 am

that's not the only shocking thing they wear where you are, Ruby!

6:01 am

too funny. I wear socks, even in summer with espadrilles

ha!! love it

6:02 am

have you been watching the World Cup NB? Did you see Japan win last night, what happy kids!

Loved Slovakia's win!

6:03 am

I am really caught up in the whole thing and my husband couldn't care less!

6:03 am

world cup? I'm allergic to sport unless I'm playing it ;) something very funny happened here though...during the game yesterday, parts of England got a blackout whilst the score was still nil-nil! People were going crazy

6:04 am

too funny!

6:04 am

and can you imagine that No. Korea had live coverage for the first time when they got whipped the other night. I felt really bad about that as they were a very gentlemanly (and tall!) team

6:06 am

Good Morning Babblers

6:06 am

{{dancer}}

6:06 am

Hmm. North Korea? Nice of them to take time out from sinking our ships, anyway.

hello river

6:07 am

but I thought that both Koreas played valiantly (and cleanly) compared to some of the thuggish teams!

6:08 am

All footballers are thugs, if you ask me! It's all that spitting. I can't stand how much they spit.

6:08 am

I think sexer is a word: somebody who determines which are hens and which are roosters

6:08 am

lightens them up NB

6:08 am

I don't mind that

6:09 am

as long as they're not chez moi!

6:09 am

I think it's seriously foul. Oh, and good morning, River! :)

6:09 am

as usual, 1st 50 words are cake!

spitting isn't pulled up in any sport, unless they spit at an opponent

6:10 am

You know though, there were some fans there from the ROK who went just so they could see the players from the DPRK - they'd never seen people from the north before. Isn't it bizarre?

6:11 am

thats 50 - quick start

6:11 am

but wasn't it funny that the north hired Chinese actors to impersonate fans?

6:12 am

huh?

6:12 am

I guess there is more to this than just the game - must start watching

6:12 am

more sad than funny. I feel so lucky to have been born in the south, where you're allowed to leave.

Hello\

6:14 am

hello herin

6:14 am

Hi Herin

HELllllllo hugs

how are you all?

6:17 am

I have my sons pre-op visit today so am a little scared

6:17 am

I do two things these days: watch World Cup and make jelly

6:17 am

do you have any anti-anxiety pills to take?

Grin at Ruby. Blessing with you River

6:18 am

wish I did

6:18 am

we will be thinking of you and wishing him well and you strong!

6:18 am

its only pre-op - the big one is July 6

6:18 am

oh River, all the best to you! I'm sure it will be absolutely fine

6:19 am

a Ruby Tuesday!

6:19 am

thats right - will have to remember that on that day

6:19 am

goooodbye, Ruby Tuesday, who could hang a name on you? I love that song ;)

6:19 am

thanks you all for your support

6:20 am

won't forget for one minute! we'll all sing to you both!

hi infern!

PRessie

how are the challenges of life going for you?

6:22 am

weeell, I'd better be off. Landed the 2pm-4am shift today and tired just thinking about it. Have fun, all.

Eating Caramello chockie

6:23 am

bye NB, that is a long shift!!!

bye nancyboy

6:23 am

bye NB

6:23 am

poor herin, I guess somebody has to eat that!

what the 220gm block in a day

6:23 am

it's two shifts back to back. don't tell the government ;) bye all! and good luck, River

6:24 am

love caramello choclits

6:25 am

its only 7:20 am here - need breakfast before choclits though

6:25 am

a friend took me out for breakfast -- cafe au lait and tarte au rhubarbe!

6:27 am

yum - yes rhubarb is in season - along with the strawberries for pie

6:27 am

hmmm

6:28 am

next year I'll have my own strawberries -- just planted 12 little plants this year and they're sending out lots of runners

6:28 am

and they'll have all the space they need

have a great day have to go now

6:28 am

we had alot of strawberries this year but they were small but sweet

6:29 am

bye herin

6:29 am

I have to go, too. Back to the battle of the weeds!

6:29 am

have a good day (((Ruby)))

6:29 am

I think with strawberries, small is better. In Florida, they were big, beautiful and tasteless

6:30 am

hopefully, these will be better and will be at the same time as our raspberries and (sour) cherries

6:30 am

hmmm for a triple berry surprise

6:31 am

bye dancer!!!

6:31 am

bye ruby

quite a few unusual words in this

6:47 am

yes there are

6:47 am

monkeys are working overtime

6:52 am

7:03 am

hi guyssss

7:03 am

Hi eman

back... struggling with some of these words... hello to babble buddies I missed :)

7:07 am

hello mr

hi aslindy! long time no see :)) good to see you

7:08 am

nice to see you too! how have you been?

7:08 am

Good Morning aslindy

good morning Babblers :)

hi nono :)

7:08 am

hello to everyone

7:08 am

Good Morning Nono

been doing ok! still in bed, but can't complain... family is wonderful!

MrP, long time no see. how have you been?

((hugs)) nono! good to see you too! still recovering, but happy to be here!

good to hear that recovery is progressing

poor Maddison is off to hospital next week. She has an attendance rate of 50% at school, so she has to go for assessment/observation

7:11 am

a belated thank you ... I had to watch my oatmeal. Have a great day everyone.

she will be there for 2 weeks, with teachers to help her with school work she has missed.

enjoy the oatmeal Merk

great day to you too Merk

MrP, has Maddison been ill?

7:12 am

bye merk

7:12 am

I hope all goes well for you and your family. We'll be praying for you, as we often do for our babble family members that are struggling.

7:12 am

Bye.

thanks all :)

Maddison gets ill, can't move for a few weeks, and there is no explanation. So she is going to be an inpatient until they sort it out.

7:14 am

how old is she mrp

oh my, She certainly has my prayers.

she is 12 river

thanks nono :)

7:14 am

that has to be scary for her

Sorry to hear about your daughter, Mr P.

Has she been assessed for ME?

what is ME?

7:15 am

and you to - I know what I am going through with my son - its very hard on the parent

7:16 am

maybe we can share in some good anxiety pills

She is angry that she is sick... she loves school and is a very popular girl. It frustrates her and she doesn't know why she is sick all the time

http://www.meresearch.org.uk/informati on/whatisme.html

ah yes river! I take green ones!

thanks pinpop, will take a look

It's also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

My cousin had ME for several years, and alternated between being full of life and normal, and so exhausted that she had to be in a wheelchair

wow! poor cousin! so sorry for her

Check out this site too http://www.meassociation.org.uk/

My cousin's well now. She suffered throughout her school years, but is a really clever kid and managed to get into Cambridge University and study law, and is now a barrister and completely better

7:19 am

that is an incredible story pinny - good for her

Maddie is very clever too!

7:20 am

wishing your daughter well mrp - hopefully they will find the problem and fix it

She isn't happy that they can't find a cause

thanks river

i understand that - it must be horribly frustrating for her

of course, she knows that the docs will think it is psychosomatic... it angers her

7:21 am

A very good morning to everyone!

hi Mom

7:22 am

Hi ((Mom))

hi mom!

for many years, ME was considered a fake illness because symptoms would vary from case to case, and people would get better for a while and then have a relapse. It's only in the last few years that it's become a recognised illness - caused by a virus

Hi Mom

it sounds to me like that is something you should suggest to Maddies Doctors that they look for Mrp

7:23 am

{{Nono}}, {{River}}, {{MrP}}, and {{Pinny}} so good to see al of you. MrP, haven't seen you in ages, nice to see you

Good to see you too Mom! I've been missing my babble buds this week

7:25 am

a busy week Pinny?

indeed! i start my new job on 6th july so i've been rushing around trying to get my contract signed and delivered, buying a new work wardrobe and arranging my first trip to boston (where my head office is based)

also, spent all of tuesday in hospital because my girlfriend was being induced with her first baby and her husband wasn't allowed to take the day off work!

7:27 am

Oh Pinny, congratulations!!! Headed to Boston to boot. They wouldn't let him off work, that is horrible

babies! wonderful !! sad that hubby couldn't be there!

7:27 am

I wish you well in your new job.

thank you - i'm thrilled :D

7:27 am

what will you be doing?

oh that is just so wrong Pinny, His boss should be shot

he was there from tuesday night onwards, and the baby didn't arrive until thursday afternoon

7:28 am

congrats on the new job Pinny

i'm the internal communications and organizational development manager for a VERY big american company...

my office is based here in london, but the global HQ is in boston so i'll be out there a few times a year (which is the best bit of the job!)

goodness! that was a long labor. I hope Mom and Baby are doing well?

baby was 2 weeks overdue, but she arrived yesterday and apparantly they're both doing really well

7:29 am

maybe we can have a babble meet - I am an hour and a half away

7:30 am

hmmm, it is a shame it wasn't Procter and Gamble, since they are based in Cincinnati and we could have had a meet up

good to hear and congrats to your friend

that is a shame, but boston is better than bust!

7:30 am

hooray, a new baby!

must go to prepare for world cup! (ie, get 1 hour sleep!) chat soon all and lovely to see you guys again! xox

ava sidney, 7lbs 12oz

7:31 am

lovely to see you as well MrP. {{hugs}}

bye MrP, was good seeing you again

7:31 am

what a darling name Pinny

bye Mr P. best wishes for your daughter

7:31 am

pretty name - congrats to your friend

((hugs)) and *kisses*

7:31 am

bye mr p

7:31 am

maybe you can meet up with River instead

7:32 am

there are some babblers in Mass too - would be fun

7:32 am

how long will you be in Boston?

oh! how cool! we can talk about not smoking ;)

7:33 am

there you go, babble and not smoking, two bonds already

i'm coming for a week this trip, but won't be able to meet up as i'll be back to back with meetings and getting to know my new colleagues, but there will be more trips to follow!

7:33 am

your first day is the day of my sons surgery so that wouldnt work anyway. Maybe later in the year if you make it out

i did actually crack and smoke 9 cigarettes in one evening (very stressful day when i had to pick between this job and another), and then stayed awake all night feeling sick and unable to sleep

7:34 am

give me a shout if you ever have a layover at CVG airport

7:35 am

oh Pinny, to go between no job and then having to choose between 2

7:35 am

oh no - I have come close lately myself but havent given in - called friend to talk me off the wall

will do! at least i never need to feel alone in the states now, as i'll have a babblebud in almost every town (like a girl in every post)

i mean 'port'

7:35 am

lol Pinny

don't do it river - it was GROSS

7:36 am

I wont - have my son to think about

7:36 am

he is in my thoughts and prayers River

7:36 am

today is his pre-op visit - needless to say I am alittle scared

Pinny can you tell us the name of the company? Do they have offices in places other than Boston and England?

it's thomson reuters

certainly hope all goes well River! He will be in my prayers

7:38 am

I can't imagine what you are going through

7:38 am

thanks Nono

what happened river?

7:39 am

he collapsed a couple weeks ago when his heart rate went over 300 - is having an issue with the electrical pathway in his heart - they need to do an electophysio study/catheterization

oh gosh! that's terrible

really wish him better

7:40 am

so today we meet with the doctor that is going to perform the procedure - procedure is supposed to last 8-10 hours

my husband had the elctrophysio study done several years ago

8 to 10 hours seems a long time but then they found hubby's problem right away so maybe it would have taken longer if not

7:42 am

they told me this is going to be very long until total anesthesia so he will feel very hung over for a couple of days

7:42 am

did your husbands last that long

7:42 am

7:42 am

7:42 am

7:42 am

7:42 am

whoops - how did that happen?

babble hiccups :)

7:43 am

maybe pediatric takes longer??? will find out more today

7:43 am

be sure to let us know, River

yes please do River

7:44 am

I will

7:45 am

Pinny you still there - didnt mean to steal your thunder - that is very exciting about your new job

Afro afro afro. Dammit!

9:48 am

flosey, it's obviously a plural. Try the singular in the dictionary.

9:48 am

rofl!

9:48 am

go the other way, Judi and get af 6/30

9:48 am

I'll be the pedant and point out that it would have to have a capital letter.

9:49 am

so it's a Proper Noun, Haz?

9:49 am

I changed my icon. The crab was so yesterday.

9:49 am

well I better refresh then!

9:49 am

9:50 am

hmmm, not in my oxford dictionary

9:50 am

Cunning indeed, FM. lol

10:29 am

10:34 am

Hope so. I envision myself standing awkwardly with a single stranger!

10:34 am

Okay, that's just a Seussian word.

10:34 am

And I don't even charge, that's the amazing thing.

10:34 am

I sincerely doubt it Vi dear.

10:35 am

Haz, you're just amazing through and through, dear!

10:35 am

Well, thanks for the vote of confidence, FM. =)

10:36 am

She is almost like Mary Poppins, almost perfect in every way - well apart from not being able to sew or find her glasses or remember when the car needed it MOT - but apart from that she is perfect :)

10:36 am

I know. Mary Poppins wouldn't lose her glasses, would she?

10:37 am

mary poppins would have lasik surgery

10:37 am

unless she put them in her capacious carpet bag, in which case they would never be seen again given what came out of it.

10:37 am

MAry Poppins was too vain to wear glasses. SHe's really a very unpleasant character in the book. But Haz is more like the Julie ANdrews version.

10:38 am

Hello, Could I have a clue for the bottom e please?

10:38 am

I wish I could sing like Julie Andrews. I wish Vicuna could sing like Julie Andrews, come to that.

10:38 am

actually Haz ...looks a bit like Julie Andrews..don't you think?

10:38 am

True, ruru!

10:38 am

eg5/10 - what goes in sometimes comes out.

10:38 am

*mutters something inaudible about being unappreciated*

10:39 am

ROFL

10:39 am

10:39 am

10:40 am

boo... g + 0 4/9

10:40 am

go5 - to rhyme with plural of the red furry creature hunted on horseback in England

10:40 am

or not so much anymore Haz.

10:40 am

Tallyho!

10:40 am

I thought the plural of ox ended in an n.

10:41 am

No, that's true.

10:41 am

Not getting that e by the way.

10:41 am

It can be both, it seems.

10:41 am

eg plus a direction minus a vowel.

10:41 am

hi all, on break. ugh, hunting - hunters are the same people who pulled wings off flies as kids

10:42 am

Thank you Haz

10:42 am

Hello, NB.

10:42 am

You're welcome, Becca.

10:42 am

I went drag hunting a couple of times when I was in the Pony Club but wouldn't like to have done the real thing.

10:42 am

Hi NB,

10:42 am

Hunters are more often interested in the riding than in the hunting in my experience.

10:42 am

anyone clue st8/65? please

10:42 am

ok. I should have left a while ago... eek. *poof*

10:42 am

Byee m9

10:43 am

10:43 am

Then why don't they just ride, Haz? :P

10:43 am

10:43 am

I'm here occasionally , when I can sneak a game in!

10:43 am

10:45 am

You're welcome.

10:45 am

How old is bablyLorum now?

10:46 am

Haz yes I can see how useful those words will be in conversation:)

10:46 am

I just don't see any 'sport' in killing something. Is there a more disgusting prospect than that?

10:46 am

And I must be off. Meat to cook, dogs to walk, it's all go around here.

10:46 am

LOL Daykat

10:47 am

Bye HAz, glad to have caught up with you.

10:49 am

Oh, congratulations, Becco - I think parents should get the credit for those birthdays! And goodbye.

10:49 am

Oh, goodbye to FM, too. (Feeling abandoned!)

10:50 am

Lovely to see you Vi, a tout a l'heur.

10:50 am

I never understood the concept of hunting..

10:51 am

We have foxes in Aussie only because the Brit settlers wanted something to hunt. Go figure that one!!

10:52 am

Quite, Ruru. It's totally barbaric, nasty.

10:52 am

*shaking head at the insanity of humanity*

10:53 am

clue for st6/18 anyone?

10:54 am

st6/18 - st + actor FLynn

Yey!! ty:)

11:59 am

11:59 am

Nancy, have you ever considered putting yourself up for adoption? I know of at least 20 Babblers who would fight for the right to adopt you!

11:59 am

Soodle...I'm attracting strange looks with my giggling! It is, Sprite; it's two shifts back to back, because...I need to feed my shopping addiction.

12:01 pm

oh they'd change their minds Soodle, I tend to hog the shower in the morning ;)

12:01 pm

we will need to house you in the PB, Nancy Boy. You can have your pick from the cupboards and fridge and cabana boys (hush Judy), and you will have loads of people loving you in Babble land :)

12:01 pm

12:02 pm

12:02 pm

12:03 pm

lol if there was whisky in it i would still be there licking it up myself lol

12:03 pm

I ahve the feeling all the dog does is imitating you, Soodle :D

12:04 pm

LOL Sprite!

12:04 pm

There shall be no unauthorized use of cabana boys!

12:04 pm

hehehe I knew that would bring you out of hiding :)

12:04 pm

lol cute pic!!! and nice quotes too

12:04 pm

but i have a question

12:05 pm

what happens if life gets you down and all you have are thongs?

12:05 pm

Actually, I was at lunch. But, I always have to read back in the chat to see what's going on.

12:05 pm

glad to see you, Judi

12:05 pm

hello judi

12:05 pm

I might have to employ the cabana boys as bodyguards at this rate. There has been very much unauthorised stuffing of phone numbers where I do not appreciate it, such as in my back pockets or down the front of my shirt. Shield me, boys ;)

12:05 pm

good question, jacq.

Hello, who is misusing the Cabana boys?

12:06 pm

it helps that you're cute NB

12:06 pm

you can always hide behind my broad shoulders, Nancy Boy

12:06 pm

Is that rhetorical, Jacq, or do you have the answer?

12:06 pm

hiya red :)

12:06 pm

News must be out that you're on the market again, NB. Psst: pick a rich one.

12:07 pm

i have no answer but cheesewire springs to mind, it would be a distraction i suppose

What is cheesewire?

12:07 pm

LOL! Sprite and Judi...I laughed so hard. At this rate I'm going to pick the least handsy. *sigh* better get back out there, though. Take care, ladies!

12:07 pm

Jacq, that reminds me of another old chestnut...What happens when the bottom falls out of your world?

12:07 pm

chocolat is the answer. And in case of absolute bottom of pit feelings, strawberries to go with it.

12:07 pm

narrow wire used to cut cheese like a garrotte

12:08 pm

bye NB

12:08 pm

Answer:- Take Milk of Magnesia, and the world will fall out of your bottom.

oh yes, indeed. I have one of those.

12:08 pm

bye Nancy Boy *hugs* Take care of yourself, hun.

12:08 pm

lolllll Soodle!

12:08 pm

Cheesewire sounds dangerous - especially if one were to keep it in a front pocket.

12:08 pm

LOLOLOLOLOLOL soodle

12:09 pm

i acn think of one or two males who should do that but in the front of their underwear instead

12:09 pm

*snip*

12:09 pm

lol

12:11 pm

Oh dear. *hurridly shuttles cabana boys to secret, cheesewire-free hiding spot*

12:11 pm

LOL

I'm sure our Cabana boys had cheesewire training...

12:12 pm

lol

12:14 pm

12:47 pm

my husband hates it that I didn't change my name when we married

1:03 pm

1:04 pm

hello girls ;)

1:04 pm

i'm hoping when i get measured for my implants that they are back to a c cup

1:04 pm

:(((

1:04 pm

heya jilli

1:04 pm

I don't think you would ever hear a man uttering those words, Jacq.

1:04 pm

LOL

1:04 pm

hello jilli, we're having an all-girls conversation

1:05 pm

they want their implants XL!

1:05 pm

I have a boob and half (cancer years ago) and would like to get the big one reduced.

1:05 pm

LOL i wonder if they would feel the same way with beach balls in front of their chests

1:05 pm

Firetwerps!

1:06 pm

Yay Judi!!

1:06 pm

yay judi!

1:06 pm

i have a boob and three quarters jilli, am having a double mastectomy later this year, if my surgoen ever gets back to work it may be sooner

1:06 pm

lol, jac. I don't hink men care where they are - just so long as they can play with them!

1:06 pm

there was a jerk of a sports writer years ago who said women could play golf as well as men because their boobs get in the way.

1:06 pm

Well done, you, Jilli, for beating that hideous disease.

1:06 pm

jilli, I made the mistake of having a big-deal reconstruction which left me with all sorts of problems but I look good in clothes hahah

1:07 pm

oh jacq -- was there a recurrence?

1:07 pm

Oh my! Are the three of you survivors of breast cancer?

1:07 pm

oh jacq! I'm an almost-20-year survivor of stage 2A! Had a clot of surgery and chemo but lived to tell about it!

1:08 pm

looks like!

1:08 pm

i have benign tumours in each boob and they are growing rapidly and the surgeon is a little concerned but it's not dire

1:08 pm

no, sorry, mine were all benign, have had 5 removed so far

1:08 pm

gracious, jacq!

1:09 pm

thye look a little like patchwork quilts right now lol

1:09 pm

wow! I had two tiny but malignant ones, one the size of a peppercorn, the other the size of a pea, and mammograms didn't show them.

1:09 pm

wow, ruby -- glad you got through all that!

1:09 pm

Off to do some real (boring) work. Later, gators!

1:09 pm

you were lucky ruby, to have found them i mean

1:09 pm

bye smart judi!

1:09 pm

How did they find them, then, ruby?

1:09 pm

bye judi

1:10 pm

I have said it before, and I will say it again. There are marvelous people on Babble. Bye Judi

1:10 pm

I found them and my doctor said"Oh they're nothing!" And I waited two years before I had them removed.

1:10 pm

Bye Judi!

1:10 pm

I found them while they were saying there weren't any

1:10 pm

oh wow, even luckier ruby, you are a miracle woman

1:11 pm

that's what my dogs think!

1:11 pm

I never would have found mine -- we can have annual free screening mammograms here and that's how minw was found.

1:11 pm

I am very skinny and they were down against my ribs

1:11 pm

hugs to everyone, i have to go, ty for the inspiration, here was me worried about pain, and that is nothing at the end of the day

1:12 pm

lucky you, ruby, if they were so tiny and yet 2A!

1:12 pm

Bye jacq!

1:12 pm

pain is something to make go away! No point in enduring it if there's a choice!!!

1:12 pm

they took out 32 lymph nodes and 2 were affected,. Yes, I am very very lucky!

1:13 pm

bye jacq!!~!

1:13 pm

I had 3 out of 18 affected.

1:13 pm

did you have chemo, jilli?

1:13 pm

strangely, the sentinel node was free!

1:14 pm

I didn't know about sentinel nodes then

1:14 pm

no -- luckily the oncologist said it would only add a 2% advantage

1:15 pm

I had CAF chemo plus atavan, was never sick, and went to work the day after!

1:15 pm

that was 10 years ago, and annual diagnostic mammograms show nothing.

1:15 pm

we lived for percentages, eh?

1:15 pm

I've stopped getting checkups; it will be 20 years in November.

1:16 pm

I just do self-exams

1:16 pm

no confidence in doctors

1:16 pm

wow, ruby! My sis-in-law had it just after mine but was not estrogen-dependent so had chemo and was sick as a dog, lost hair, the whole ball of wax. I just went onto Tamoxifen and now am on Letrozole (Femara)

1:17 pm

I have a lot of confidence in good doctors.

1:18 pm

I lost all (ALL) my hair and went on Tamoxifen for 2 1/2 years after, but because of the Atavan, added by the Boston MD who designed my protocol, was never sick. Just couldn't drink gin for a while

1:18 pm

I'm too pudgy for welf-exams

1:18 pm

*self

1:18 pm

I think welf implies good health; I like that portmanteau word!

1:19 pm

it is kinda cute :)

1:20 pm

how are you doing with this grid? I have 41 left and lunchtime approaches -- then some errands. I'm fighting off a cold too.

1:21 pm

have 101 words and am running out of time. As long as I have half, I'm satisfied. Low expectations, I guess

1:22 pm

I am humbled in the presence of the pair of you. You both rock!!

1:22 pm

thank you soodle!

1:22 pm

You make a choice to live or die and then really work hard at it!

1:23 pm

well, thanks, soodle -- it's ruby who deserves the accolades for coping with chemo and finding it herself!

1:23 pm

that's why my DH annoys me so much. He complains about everything

1:23 pm

I know all of that, but you are both might strong ladies!

1:23 pm

*blushing*

1:23 pm

Needs must, as they say.

1:24 pm

exactly!!! Amen, ladies

1:26 pm

Ah! I know the word, but had no idea what it meant!

1:28 pm

never saw it before! Is it a babblet?

1:28 pm

just click on the ? for the meaning ;)

1:28 pm

sometimes it ends with an S

1:29 pm

definitely a babblet

1:30 pm

I know about the ? button, Jilli, but that particular word is also the Irish word for the number 9, and that suits me!

1:30 pm

6:14 pm

hey there knitter....

6:14 pm

EB! how are ya

6:14 pm

news from the front -- mom had another "episode" on wednesday, and had to take the rig to the ER. Five hours, no positive results, now she is here with me

6:15 pm

I am thiiiiis close to running wild in the streets. I had NO IDEA how stressful this would be!

6:15 pm

oh no, poor thing (both of you)

6:15 pm

she is terrified to be alone, even for five minutes. We have had to scramble to find coverage the few hours I am at work. One day I had to hire primo's old girlfriend, the lovely nursing student....

6:16 pm

i feel your pain - i get stressed just taking my mom out to dinner!

6:16 pm

primo's new GF found out and dumped him, so now primo is not speaking to me. Secondo and Tertiare just left with Mr. Hate, and tomorrow is Tertiare's birthday party, which she decided would be a pool party at HIS house, so I will be here with the lovely grammy, alone

6:16 pm

well, we do have a funeral to go to. FUN

6:17 pm

new GF sounds immature and primo is better off without her

6:17 pm

carole and matt are in the process of trying to quickly dump and run from their house to hers, which is proving almost impossible with two little boys under foot, so I have them now while they finish up a few things. To be honest, it's been great having them here. Mom is speaking and playing with them, and I am here. Trying not to go nuts and sucking down a Mike's lemonade with head-spinning speed

6:18 pm

Hi All

6:18 pm

the little monsters will be a good distraction for your mother.

6:19 pm

howdy river

6:19 pm

indeed! On the positive side, my hydrangea in my front yard bloomed today for the first time EVER. I was so excited! It was such a kiss from the universe!

6:19 pm

hiya aknitter

6:20 pm

Not having much fun here at the moment. I have been diagnosed as hyper (yes hyper) thyroid. I feel as though i am on my 200th cup of coffee, cant sleep, cant eat as the medication is making me nauseous. i am ready to explode. this had better go away quickly

6:21 pm

sorry to hear that ak

6:21 pm

sprong!

6:21 pm

sorry to hear that ak - deep breath and put that energy into finishing the grid

6:22 pm

this has left me with the attention span on a gnat!

6:34 pm

river sorry to hear that

6:34 pm

River. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. FERVENT thoughts and prayers.

6:36 pm

it's times like this I wish I was religious and could offer my prayers. Will be thinking of you both, though..

6:36 pm

River - this is a terrible time for you. We are here for you if you want to talkm

6:36 pm

River - this is a terrible time for you. We are here for you if you want to talkm

6:37 pm

6:38 pm

just got home from 6 hours at childrens hospital - trying to recoup but thanks all - pre-op today

6:38 pm

oh, river, I am so sorry.....we will pray

6:39 pm

Have you support there with you now River? Your are not alone, are you?

6:39 pm

so very sorry river. everyone has you in their thoughts. Hold out for hope.

6:39 pm

kids are here - husband is outside where he belongs

6:40 pm

in his doghouse?

6:40 pm

wish I could make it permanent - hey NB like your new photo

6:42 pm

thanks, River :) it was taken the morning after my housewarming - probably why I look like I was trying not to remember anything ;)

6:42 pm

that is a shame though, River - he should be supporting you, not dealing with it separately :(

6:43 pm

nancy, is that a tattoo on your chest?

6:43 pm

he hasnt been here for me for months so why now - I know he is going through is own torture over it but I cant drag myself out there quite yet

6:44 pm

my chest? it's not revealed, is it?!

6:44 pm

is it a lovely curtain over your chest?

6:44 pm

no tattoos on my chest...just a T-shirt and a cushion ;)

6:45 pm

I understand, river, really I do...

6:48 pm

River, this sounds quite mad, i know. but i have a cell phone that costs me nothing. if you feel like a chat, or an off-load, I have two very good ears, and despite being Irish, I am actually quite a good listener. If you thought I could be of any help to you at all, I would be happy to call you.

6:51 pm

that is so thoughtful of you - thanks but I am good - in fact my best friend who has listened to me over the years is also irish so I know irishwomen can be very good listeners and friends. I so appreciate my babble friends...

6:53 pm

how sweet of you, Soodle - it is getting late here, as well :) I'd better go get back to work though. Just three more hours. (((River))) all the best to you and yours

6:53 pm

{{{{RIVER}}}}}. I genuinely hope that your boy gets better. Thinking of you.

6:54 pm

bye Nancy - dont work to hard -keep those wandering hands off of you ....lol ((NB))

6:56 pm

LOL River. I rarely work too hard, and as for the wandering hands...I'm a man, not a magician ;) but, all my fingers are crossed for your son - you don't deserve to have to worry :( take care xx

6:56 pm

thanks soodle - its so hard looking at him and he is so vital, athletic to think he wont be able to do anything or not survive the procedure but he must have it or not survive at all - we hope for the best - find and correct it and he goes on without any further complications.

6:56 pm

all parent worry - every day of their life

6:57 pm

Whats his first name, and how old is he, River?

6:58 pm

Keith is 13 (and a half + 5 days according to him)

6:59 pm

LOL. That 'half' is mighty important when you are 13!!

7:00 pm

and dont forget those 5 days - he told the Doc when asked

7:01 pm

its nice to have something to chuckle over

7:01 pm

River, it is past 1am here, and I am going to bed. I wlll pray very very hard for Keith. My email is medickinson@eircom.net. Please please, let me know how Keith is doing, if I don't happen to sychronise with you on Babble, ok?

7:02 pm

Thank you Soodle - sweet dreams

7:03 pm

7:20 pm

Hi again Peri

7:20 pm

hey there tor, are you up for a game of Scramble?

7:21 pm

you are all too nice - I need someone to be mean so I wont cry so easily

7:21 pm

Sure, why not add to your win total ...

7:21 pm

I know exactly what you mean, River

7:22 pm

hey, tor, really I do not always win at scramble

7:22 pm

what is scramble

7:24 pm

I'll start ..

7:25 pm

ok, tor

7:25 pm

scramble is a word game on FB, short rounds. I am addicted to it. you can play with friends or you can play live and chat with people around the world

7:26 pm

grid is similar to babble but the rounds are 3 minutes long

7:26 pm

River are you on facebook?

7:35 pm

helllloooooo???????

7:35 pm

helllloooooo???????

7:35 pm

7:40 pm

well I was for a while, nice to see you

7:41 pm

she logged off....

7:43 pm

ok, ty, I know she is upset about her son

7:43 pm

bbl

7:43 pm

bye!

7:56 pm

Hi Everybody.

7:57 pm

hey nef

7:57 pm

Hey Nef, haven't been on with you for awhile. Nice to see you

7:58 pm

hi LA. We just had a big storm blow through here; parts of Minneapolis and St. Paul are under water (flash floods) but the tornado warning is over!

7:59 pm

yikes. we had quite a nasty storm yesterday and some tornado conditions but no touchdowns i don't think

8:00 pm

hi Jilly. I've just been busy with work and hauling DH to doctor appts. When I finally get here it's late evenings and I end up falling asleep at the keyboard

8:02 pm

lol, well, I am taking a break from nursing to attend a training for youth ministry.

8:02 pm

LA, they just announced about a Volvo floating down Lyndale Ave in south MPLS. There have been numerous torados spotted around the Cities but haven't heard of damage this week (bad storms last week here and 29 tornados sited across the state; 3 people died)

8:03 pm

will be on and off tonight, been a long time since fw...i've been going to bed early and the motel wi-fi is slowwww at times

8:03 pm

oh my goodness. only time i've been to minn/st. paul was shortly after the bridge collapse. you guys have had enough trouble up there

8:05 pm

That sounds like fun, Jilly. I did that at one point too when my daughter was a teen; we'd take them on retreats and tell them "boys are blue, girls are pink; we don't want any purple!" It helped that I worked nights back then; I could stay awake and keep them honest! ;-)

8:05 pm

what were you doing here then, LA?

8:06 pm

have a friend who was getting married there, her family is from minn

8:06 pm

ok

8:06 pm

did some touristy things, the sculpture garden, zoo etc.

8:06 pm

lol nef, gotta remember THAT one. I had left my volunteer role when my kids graduated. then the ministry sorta fell apart and I came back in to rebuild it, but this time I do get a stipend.

8:07 pm

how big is your group, Jilly?

8:08 pm

Coming from the Chicago area, what did you think of the Twin Cities, Leslie?

8:09 pm

and which zoo did you go to? We have the Como Zoo and the MN zoo here (Como is older, small and free; it's my favorite)

8:10 pm

er the mn zoo i think. i am pretty sure we paid. they had a very cute prairie dog exhibit

8:11 pm

it is a nice area

8:12 pm

that's what I still call the "new" zoo (the MN zoo). My dtr was laughing at me saying that the other day. It's been around for probably 25+ years now

8:14 pm

i can't remember the name of the place where the wedding was - it was a scottish bar in downtown st. paul i believe. they had lawn bowling. :)

8:16 pm

was it Brit's Pub? They have lawn bowling on the roof; but that's in MPLS

8:19 pm

that must have been it, it was on the roof. really nice place!

8:20 pm

Hi Everyone!

8:20 pm

Does anyone have the Si5 & Si6?

8:21 pm

not yet, Minski (but I'll start looking!)

8:22 pm

got them

8:23 pm

got them too just now!

8:23 pm

si5&6 = when one side of a war surrounds a city of hte other side and bombards them until they surrender.

8:23 pm

and plural

8:23 pm

I was using the wrong si combo

8:24 pm

(or headed the wrong way is more correct)

8:28 pm

can you please explain how the scoring works

8:29 pm

first number = number of letters in the word, second number = total points

8:29 pm

so, ar 4/7 starts with ar, has four letters and is worth 7 points

8:30 pm

but is a 5 letter word doubled, 6 tripled?

8:30 pm

phew! S & T were tough. Moving on up.

8:30 pm

oh yes, 5 doubled, 6 tripled, 7 quadrupled etc.

8:30 pm

thanks

8:31 pm

yw

8:31 pm

welcome lulu. the 2 best ways to figure out this game are to read the help info (right above the chatlog here); and also scroll down to the bottom of the page and on the left is a section called Friends of Babble. AngelSong's Babble Page is how I learned how to play

8:31 pm

oops. thought I was done with the Ss but missed most of the Sa words. didn't see the 3rd s.

9:23 pm

9:23 pm

9:25 pm

You can keep them Nef. I'm just tired from a day spent chasing 2 kids.

9:25 pm

I'm sorry about your DH. MS is a miserable disease.

9:25 pm

one can never be too tired to each chocolates! Poor Minski!

9:26 pm

No, he didn't break anything; and he fell between therapist visits. He's been doing very well; and was starting to deny that he isn't as weak as he is. I think it kind of shook him up; but otherwise he's okay

9:26 pm

*each= eats*

9:26 pm

MINSKI! You MUST be sick!

9:26 pm

whew, glad nothing was broken but his pride.

9:26 pm

brb

9:27 pm

No. I'm never too tired for chocolate, but Nef needs them more than I do. Just toss one or two over here Nef. then you can keep the rest.

9:27 pm

it's a big bag, enough to share with everyone

9:27 pm

back

9:28 pm

nef, i did not know it was ms. i have a friend in the hospital now who they think has it, at 28

9:28 pm

I'll share. I was just being greedy. Now that I've had a couple, that's enough for me for tonight!

9:31 pm

Ah, LA. DH has had it for 24 years; diagnosed at age 39 and did very well until the end of April. He's never been hospitalized with it though

9:32 pm

well they are running tests but have been for a few days now. not sure if ms yet, but probably so.

9:32 pm

He'd only used a cane up til April. I'd bought him a walker about 5 years ago for a relapse but he'd never used it til now. Now he's in a wheel chair

10:17 pm

When Babble's grid seems hard to do,

10:17 pm

check the grid; it's not just you!

10:18 pm

When Babblets abound too much,

10:18 pm

use the chog a a crutch.

10:20 pm

when in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

10:20 pm

If clues don't help, do not yelp

10:20 pm

you put your left foot in, and you shake it all about

10:20 pm

Open a bottle; it helps a lottle!

10:20 pm

LOL

10:22 pm

ro6, 7, and 8 a set?

10:22 pm

Yes - small and round.

10:22 pm

A bit like me!

10:23 pm

sort of - ro 6 = fat, ro 7/8 = an architectural ceiling

10:23 pm

oi. you'd think i could have found that 7; it's one of the most popular buildings on campus!

10:24 pm

Ah, but, Jes, have you still not realised that the most obvious words hide in Babble grids?

10:25 pm

heh. i'm out of practice, jac--haven't finished a grid in ages.

10:26 pm

I finish the grid every day, unless I'm away on holiday without internet access, so can only do it on paper. The impetus to finish isn't there without the chog though.

10:26 pm

I think my family quite like that!

10:28 pm

Though, I do have to say, my other half thought I hadn't been playing Babble for months, since he'd not seen it on the PC when he'd got home from work. That's 'cos I finished with my 2 morning buckets of tea.

10:28 pm

The more you play this game, the easier it gets.

10:28 pm

heh. i haven't had time to play at work, which is where i usually do it. tonight i'm playing from home

10:29 pm

Well, I'm lucky enough to work from home at present.

10:30 pm

ah, that would make it easier :)

10:30 pm

Yes, it does.

10:33 pm

I've been on Word Tornado on Facebook earlier, still trying to recruit new Babble players. Most prefer the fast game you 'win' with no chat. Ce'st la vie!

10:34 pm

Personally, I don't think there's anything to beat Babble. If you have any quibbles or niggles, contact Dr_God, who wants to know how to improve things right now.

10:35 pm

nope. other than the dictionary not having words that are words...

10:35 pm

does he want to know about those?

10:35 pm

Jes - you should have had an e mail from him?

10:36 pm

LOL! Jes, I don't think Dr_God can fix that dictionary other than to change to another one)

10:36 pm

probably. i think i skimmed and din't think of anything to say, so i didn't reply

10:39 pm

I haven't replied yet, but would say update the dictionary used, include an edit and a delete button for chog.

10:40 pm

Jac, are you saying that Dr_God sent out emails recently?

10:40 pm

Some people want an 'ignore' button' but I don't think that chog is set up for that.

10:40 pm

Nef - yes.

10:40 pm

(I may have to figure out my passwrod for my old email addy then

10:41 pm

here's a copy. Hope Dr_G doesn't mind me replicating it here... Fellow Pro Babbler- I realized this morning that I've been neglecting Babble lately, and I'm thinking it's time I gussied the site up a bit. So I'm asking for your feedback. I welcome any and all feedback. Let your brain juices flow! A few sample questions/topics: What do you like the most about Babble? What do you dislike the most about Babble? What feature(s) would you like to see added to Babble? How could the Babble community be strengthened? Your feedback can be nit-picky or can include pie-in-the-sky dreams. It's all good to me. Thanks and Happy Babbling! - Dr_God

10:44 pm

thanks, Jac. It looks like I'll have to figure out that email password then. I definitely want to respond

10:46 pm

es5 please?

10:46 pm

I didn't respond t that email, but it was nice of DR G. to think of us.I wonder when the changes will happen

10:46 pm

I was af 6/30 that I was not going to finish but I had nothing to fr4/7 about because grid was doable with a list and didn't drive me nu 4/5. Now I will do a nice ge7/40 by doing a st 5/14 of clues for you. I ar 5/10 this morning not feeling well. I had a ru5/16 because of allergies. But I sa4/5 to myself, "Do not da4/5 call in sick. Today is the last day of school." So I went to work in the not so sa4/7 part of Yonkers.On my way to work I heard on the ra5/12 about a shooting that happened in Yonkers.When I got to work everybody el4/4 was standing outside looking at all the activity going on outside the school.There was not even a so 4/4 in the office. I asked what happened & was told someone got shot. Unfortunately they did not fa 4/7 well and died.The criminal shot him & then he st5/10 from them. I was so st 4/5ed that it happened right across from the school's tu4/8.It turned out the guy worked at Staples.I go to the st5/10 all the time. He was young too. It to 4/4 my heart out to hear about someone so young being murdered. Now I'm about to lo 4/4 the computer to hubby. My husband go 4/6 on the computer every night to play Farmville. My eyes are so 4/4 from staring at computer anyway.So I am going to ra5/10 my ro6/24 body out of this seat and go ra4/5 the fridge.Then I'm off to watch a late nite go 4/8 movie starring Ra 5/16 spelling.Was probably the worst ro4/4 he ever had even though hasn't had too many ro 5/10. I hope you do not get lo 4/4 in my st 5/14 of clues and find lo 4/4 more words.I hope all go 4/6 well for the re4/4 of the night and those who are not finished yet get their fireworks! Goodnight!

11:33 pm
