Hello all. just got here too Jilli

oh yeah, just thought everyone had suddenly stopped speaking to me on here, ha!

seemed a bit odd!

12:15 am

I didn't get around to changing my icon either -- was out this evening at a "Cole Porter Revue" -- great fun!

12:15 am

no, George, never

well I know one here has, coz they never answer me anymore when I speak to them, but probably not anyone else!

eh, wasn't that upset, just wondering!

12:17 am

exactly, jilli

oh them, yeah, well no I'm not really but can't help being curious when I know there can be no reason for it, ya know!?

12:17 am

Hope you aren't meaning me George. I was just in the grid. Certainly never mean to offend

12:17 am

I was just posting that I haven't had time to finish even the shorter grids lately; or if I did have time to finish I couldn't stay awake and the darn grid flipped and my long post disappeared before I finished! So I thought if I dove right in to this grid I just might finish! So I didn't see anyone come in or go for a bit there

oh yeah, Nef, well this grid is a killer!

12:19 am

(New keyboard and I keep hitting dble keys. what a PIA!)

12:19 am

out of the first 6 words I got, 3 were babblets and I have no idea what they mean (can't be bothered just now to look them up via the ?)

I've only found 16 words and don't think I'll find one more, even with the list, lol!

12:43 am

our grooming is much simpler George...unless yo're antisocial as well?

12:43 am

well by grooming I meant combing and brushing!

12:43 am

yo're = you're

12:44 am

got it. now what is other one?

12:44 am

peg, when things go wrong

12:44 am

mkg see my poost 1243

I'm as far opposite of antisocial as you can get, also very meticulous about personal hygiene, but was referring to 'grooming' as a dog gets! I would have to use combs that have no teeth in them, lol!

12:44 am

2:11 am

ah well, I have a week's worth of Isidingo to watch (that's a South African soapie) ... bye Babblers

2:12 am

1st wa4 - I think it's some kind of oasis

2:13 am

lol.. true..

2:18 am

Watching my local soapie will be brainless enough to give the ol' cranium a break

2:19 am

Gosh, you're going great guns. Took me 2 hours to get just the 49 words ... and help from Lickety and a whole lot of guesswork

2:19 am

no lickety yet. just lots of monkeying!

2:20 am

Is that what you call it when you guess by elimination - monkeying?

2:20 am

yes.. it's just the random typing.

2:21 am

5:45 am

Hay on Wye, a haven for booklovers

5:45 am

do you go on walks? we had some lovely forrest walks on our holiday

5:46 am

not much this time, we had some art classes to attend

5:46 am

well textile

5:46 am

We walked from Dolgellau to Barmouth on the Mawddach Trail - about 10 miles - but you get to walk over the river estuary on a rickety wooden bridge next to the railway - its about half a mile

5:46 am

we sat on our balcony overlooking the countryside and reading books and drinking wine

5:46 am

sounds like you both had a great time

5:47 am

what sort of art classes? I do drawing and acrylics

5:47 am

I learnt how to use thermofax screens

5:47 am

with fabric paints and inks, and then adding foils and sewing

5:47 am

what are thermofax screens?

5:47 am

I will google it

5:48 am

I don't draw, but I use acrylics for backgrounds etc

5:48 am

thermofax is a way of using your drawings for printing

5:49 am

onto textiles? do you do quilting?

5:50 am

sounds like a great holiday and very creative -

5:50 am

no I don't quilt as such. I make art quilts and small bits and pieces using textiles I design myself

5:50 am

it was great, love to go to classes with like minded people, learn a lot and great fun

5:50 am

sounds great, interesting to learn about different techniques like that - babble is so educational

5:51 am

10:30 am

10:30 am

Hello, All :-)

10:30 am

Congrats zooz!

11:00 am

then, when I finally did get on, the "red bars of death" appeared

11:00 am

I did the grid the old fashioned way and printed it off and used pen and paper.

11:01 am

ooh, haven't done that in ages, FM..

11:01 am

good thing it is a wee grid

11:01 am

wonder if there are storms in Chicago or something

11:02 am

*grin* eventually got back in and was able to enter the words andfind the missing few. Sudoku wias pretty bugg this a.m too.

11:02 am

h'mmm.. must be some glitch, hope it is resolved

11:03 am

11:06 am

Glad all is well after the tests dear.

11:07 am

hi featherbee.. yes, apparently so

11:07 am

HAd an incredible sight today - much kerfuffle in the garden and saw a wood pigeon fly off at a rate of knotts - looked out the window to see a sparrow hawk waling around the garden!

11:07 am

*walking even

11:08 am

oh, for a camera then!

11:08 am

Good afternoon all

11:08 am

11:08 am

hi Mr Bob

11:08 am

Hello everyone!

11:09 am

hiya Scrabbler!

11:09 am

Hi Mr Bob and Hey Scrabs!!!!!!

11:09 am

morning scrabs!

11:09 am

howdy scrabbs! ((FM))

11:09 am

A hawk--cool! I saw a barred owl in the woods on Friday when I was mountain biking.

11:09 am

Hey ((crossy))!

11:09 am

crossy! hi

11:10 am

doug thinks we saw a juvenile bald eagle last weekend

11:10 am

howdy aloy:))

11:10 am

your pic was amazing, Scrabbs

11:10 am

i need to go look at pictures of one

11:10 am

After a useless night of sleep I got up at 5:30, read the paper, had breakfast, then slept from 9-11. I have been revived + saved from a day of the crankies.

11:10 am

yay for no crankies

11:10 am

I saw one of those on the Clarion River in June, Feather, when my sister + I were kayaking.

11:10 am

my garden is tiny but backs on to much acreage of the churchyard so I was amazed to se him on the ground.

11:11 am

How cold is it up north, Crossy? Had an overnight frost yet?

11:11 am

we know a hawk is overhead when all the birds suddenly flee the feeders

11:12 am

Scrabs I have been learning recently to give in to my sleep pattern, which has lead to some wierd hours but it seems to be leveling out now.

11:12 am

oh good news everyone,my cancers check ups,ct scans,blood ,x-rays etc are all clear as of last friday and i have been downgraded to one check up every 6 months at a local hospital instead of having to go to toronto every 3 months:))))))

11:12 am

no frost as of yet scrabbs

11:12 am

yay crossy!!!!!!

11:12 am

yippee, wonderful news, crossy.. congrats!

Wonderful crossey!

11:13 am

¬!¬!¬!¬!¬! YAY ¬!¬!¬!¬!¬!

11:13 am

:))) yaa indeed;))

11:14 am

That is great news crossy, so pleased to hear it. I would put it down to all the bacon - you have preserved yourself *giggle*

11:14 am

no more drinking gallons of chalky contrast solution;))

11:14 am

Yay, Crossy!! A 15 yr old boy in our practice was recently diagnosed with testicular cancer. I tell all boys starting at 13-14 to check their balls.

11:14 am

hallelujah, crossy

11:14 am

lol....mmm bacon perservatives.....

11:14 am

indeed,scrabbs,i got my seminoma on the late outside curve of the charts

11:14 am

lol you sound like Homer :)

11:15 am

what stage was the 15 year old?

11:16 am

It's up in his abd already. First symptom was abd pain. So stage 3 or 4, I am not sure.

11:16 am

at 15 that is so cruel. Hard for him to talk about and then hard to deal with.

11:16 am

Still should have a good prognosis--testicular cancer is very responsive to chemo.

11:16 am

sounds like 4..poor kid..

11:16 am

just checked out images, yes, it was a juvenile bald eagle! that was the morning we drove to see you scrabs!

11:16 am

familial history?

11:16 am

very responsive

11:16 am

Pray for Todd.

11:17 am

oh dear scrabs

11:17 am

Cool Feather.

11:17 am

Not that I know of, Aloy.

11:17 am

rats.. you just wonder.. so young

11:17 am

he will be sick for a year,but .the chemo is nasty,but i have high hopes as he is young

11:18 am

mmm,nice structure in that line of text lol

11:19 am

no grammar judges in chog today, crossy

11:19 am

The world of pediatric oncology is not for the timid--it is full of suffering as well as successes.

11:19 am

Sinec I don't see any of the 29 words I am missing I will just chat.

11:19 am

indeed,i saw some thing at the cancer lodge that would tear your heart out

11:20 am

must go play "vet" with daniel, bbl

11:21 am

have fun, Feather.

11:21 am

tc feathers

11:21 am

bye for now feather

11:21 am

I can clue the at6/33 as we are talking medical things - well I can give the def.

11:22 am

was there not a dance called the watusi?

11:22 am

ty FM.. saw it

11:22 am

and the 6/36

11:23 am

yeah! ty again, FM!

11:23 am

you are showing yr age again crossy but I am sure you are right.

11:23 am

darn grid will not take it

11:23 am

Lost in iw4, help!

11:23 am

watusi should definitely be a word

11:23 am

Didn't it get a mention in the film Grease?

11:23 am

a bird, Kenny

11:24 am

a white bird

11:24 am

Isn't that a tribe in Africa?

11:24 am

doin the watusi.. (-:

11:24 am

Thanks

11:24 am

TY for the AT words.

11:25 am

iw4 is an alt sp of a very old babblet the y4

Fireworks!

11:25 am

yay for helens!

11:25 am

Congrats helens

That si5 is a meanie.

11:26 am

yay hgk

11:26 am

h'mm, looking..

Mind you, the number of words I was actually looking for but couldn't find until I accidentally looked "upside down" sort of - well I should have been finished last night if my head had been on the job!

11:27 am

It is a hire car company + a vowel but that may be just a European clue. Don't know if they are over in the US

The si5 is a fencing term - the age si*** with a different last wovel.

11:28 am

shoulda taken fencing in school, took flower arranging instead

11:28 am

Still no idea

11:28 am

would you have taken fencing if it was really on offer, I think I might have.

11:29 am

maybe, FM... but I took golf and flower arranging.. probably to fit in my schedule of other classes

11:29 am

gosh we did even have golf as an option!

11:30 am

whew, got the si5, tyvm

11:31 am

wtg!

11:31 am

the word count helped

They offered flower arranging?

11:32 am

and.. i don't think we have the rental company, FM.. but I'll bet your clue helped others

I managed to get out of golf, but ended up in bowling - but that was at university!

11:32 am

and I trust everyone has found the needlecases?

11:33 am

yes, helen.. as an extracurricular .. it was actually good for learning about form and symmetry, etc.. lots to learn in flower arranging, lol

11:33 am

quite competitive actually.. I was amazed..

11:33 am

so interesting to compare from one side of the pond to the other.

11:34 am

TY for et4

11:34 am

dont forget the pl

I'm reasonably certain that I would have learned about form, symmetry, dealing with broken stems, frustration - all kinds of useful stuff, and interesting, too - which is more than I can say for bowling.

11:34 am

More help with si5 please?

11:34 am

... and it was fun in the winter to work with beautiful material

11:34 am

ty all for the si5

11:35 am

I had better stop throwing in random cluse as I know some babbler don't like it but just couldn't stop myself, sorry.

11:35 am

follow the number with the beginning of Sprite's dog's name

11:35 am

TY, again, FM. It is too early for me to think of non-English words.

11:35 am

that's very ok, FM ! fore awau

11:35 am

scrabbs,the next decade after 50 but with a diff last vowel

11:35 am

away that is

All that got me was a clacification in a muscle in my right arm. But it was fun being allowed to take all my finals with a "secretary" to write for me!

11:36 am

Isn't the dog's name Terra!

11:36 am

lol helens

11:36 am

fire away, lol... can't type, or is it tipe?

11:36 am

um, yes it is Scrabbs

11:36 am

OK, I got it. I was typing in si6's. Idiot.

Phone calls to make - maybe back after a bit for more fun and exciting clues

11:37 am

lol Scrabbs.. have some coffee.. bye for now, helens

11:37 am

Bye hgk

11:38 am

ooh, that ri5 was staring me in the face and I finally saw it

11:38 am

It's the disrupted sleep pattern. Fell asleep finally at 12:30 am, had fitful sleep and gave up at 6:30. Napped from 9-11, awoke with a migraine (mild) as I do if I nap, and it's 12:38 and I am still in pajamas.

11:39 am

Why won't ri5 stare at mee, Aloy?

11:39 am

didn't get your paper yet.. or do you go out in your pjs? I used to but then our neighborhood had to go and get populated, sigh

11:39 am

because ri + our lovely abb knot queen is busy at the moment

11:39 am

you must look STRAIGHT, Scrabbs

11:40 am

lol, great clue FM

11:40 am

I walk out in my pj's. The paper is in a plastic bag and tossed at the end of the driveway. In the winter it is often buried + discovered in the srping.

11:40 am

:)

Hi scrabbs and aloy. I am in actual clothing btu thats is odd for me, i like wearing my pjs most of the day...

11:41 am

*doofus Scrabbler!* Imagine that, a word on one line.

11:41 am

actually, our Taz used to love to go retrieve the paper... and the neighbors' too

11:41 am

Hi Red!

11:41 am

hi there red!

oooops.

11:41 am

Hi red!

11:41 am

I do have to drive to the pharmacy to get a Rx today.

11:41 am

drive thru pharmacy = stay in pjs

11:41 am

here it is not only buried in the winter,but often becomes s solid icr projectile,suitable for tearing apart shear pins in snow blowers

Well for that I would wear clothing...

hello again red, down to 19 and still struggling, but been dealing with iphone woes!! some tosser got ahold of my number and was ringing me up leaving singing messages, don't even know him, but I posted his number so all my contacts can do the same to him and see how he likes it, lol!

11:42 am

Back in 5, must put the kettle on.

11:42 am

flannel pjs with cows all over them

11:42 am

ouch, crossy... that is COLD to freeze a paper that solid

I have 20 left. it is difficult. but I havemostly eaten the salad...

I do hope tomorrow has more words. I have a big gym morning planned and then babble...

11:45 am

sounds great, red.. exercise for mind and body

11:45 am

Hi George. Good strategy.

11:45 am

red,in less than 80 years you will be a worm feast..eat something you like!:)

11:45 am

hi George, hope it works.. how annoying

the weather here Aloy is still all of a sudden Horribly hot and humid again...

down to 13...

11:46 am

well, we won't be there until the second week of Dec., red... am wearing a sweatshirt today.. cool here

ha, yeah I thought so Scrabbler, perhaps he'll think twice next time, eh?

posted his number on my twitter and yahoo pages!

I love salad. Have osme canker sores so everything hurts to eat I figure if it hurts to eat I might as well eat healthy, since I wouldnt enjoy a steak any better.

11:47 am

it is the tomatoes, red

11:47 am

see,you have forgotten,the pudding and gravy groups lol

Oooh sweatshirt ALoy, I feel a pang of jealousy. the second week in December I am going to Sanibel island.

yeah I love it as well, red, live on it!

No everything hurts. it hurts to drink water, but the sores are almost healed.

I make all sorts of salads, have some every day

11:48 am

you won't be far from us, red.. keep in touch around that time

oh those are painful, not fun!!

11:49 am

Time for a break. BBL.

I'm running a half in Cape coral on the 12th, we should get together and do a meal either on the 12th PM or some time on the 11th....

Aloy, do you have any recommendations on stuff that is good to do there? I was thinking of snorkling and shelling and possibly doing something at Ding Darling Refuge!

Scrabbs, feel better, let us know if you go out in PJ's....

11:51 am

I will not go out in PJs, don't worry.

11:51 am

remember,the surgeon general says to drink 8 glasses of gravy a day for good health

11:52 am

or was that milk..can never remember...

LOL cross, I try to keep it up. Sadly I had to go get a new battery for my scale today. it weighed me as gaining 5 pounds in about 5 mins and I knew it was time... almost bought a new scale but logic prevailed.

11:53 am

never had a canker sore.. got sore from being cranky as a kid though

yeah, ruru, I'll bet!

I am generally the same, though I do find a quarter glass is helpful when my brain just won't move on from an issue I can't do anything about...

1:54 pm

no...i cant stomach anything when i amlike this

what a bloody headache (hassle)! yeah, your not the only ones not having fun times at the moment--sorry to hear it though!

2:34 pm

Anyone else having problems keeping the grid up, or getting on in general? Have fireworks on Lickety, but was kicked off the grid!

Maybe you're all kicked off at the moment like I was. ;)

2:37 pm

Update, Texans 27, Colts 10...wooHOO!!!

Ok I am going to attempt to find my last ten Hello anyone?

2:39 pm

I'm here red! How are you?

good here, ten left, no list, starting to wonder about the last ten...they are rather well hidden...

2:40 pm

some strange ones...

yes, how are you doing?

2:41 pm

Much better! Still don't have the endurance back, but can tell there's been progress. And you?

Oh monkeys are doing a good job, down to 8.

As far as running, still at 8 as a long run, 15K in 2 weeks, I am not entirely happy with my pace, but...at the same time I am ok with it...

2:42 pm

What're the temps there?

its hot, today at 6 it was about 78 and 80 or so humidity.. I would like to just see 75 again....you?

2:44 pm

Very much the same. Everyone's slow. Yesterday, we rescued a pup heading down a 4 lane road. 2 of our group had to go back and call the owner. Adorable!

Oooh sweet. I thought at first you had a new doggie!

2:45 pm

If I didn't already have 2...! But no...called and the mom came to get her.

whew down to 6 left, I will not use the list, I swear it...

2:46 pm

I'm up to 4, and wondering if I'll be up to a half by end of October. If not, can do it as a 2 person relay.

2:46 pm

You rock! I couldn't have done without it.

I've been pecking away on and off all day....

2:47 pm

I couldn't get on till about an hour ago! Kept timing out on me.

I think you coudl do it Champ but maybe not a personal best ever...I am mostly focusing on my Half in December, and sort of forgetting that I am still Marathon training for February!!!

there were some problems with the site...

2:48 pm

Thought maybe it was the changeover.

2:48 pm

Me too...mine marathon is either Jan 1 or 30th. Signed up for both. Thinking the first will be a half if only so that I can have some brewskis NYE!

2:49 pm

Must go now...have to take a kid to cheer. Good luck with the grid!!!

2:49 pm

Champ....what changeover?

hi lkdubb.

2:49 pm

Hi Red

2:50 pm

what changeover was Champ referring to?

OK I must ask are all the G's 4 letters? I have 2 4 letter g's and am lacking one G...I Do not want a clue just to know if the G is a 4 or 5 letter G.

g 5

thanks tea!!

you are welcome

4:57 pm

Oh, featherbee, it will take me lots longer than 10 minutes, I am not the racing stid.

hey all. I finished earlier, I have been trying to finish lately as my ranking on the site is "666" which I find a bit distrubing.

4:57 pm

lol, yeah, well i'm probably done for now. not getting the list unless desperate, so now starts the sit and stare portion of our grid.

How is everyone getting on?

4:58 pm

eeks red!

4:58 pm

i went to list w 10 to go

4:58 pm

4:58 pm

good to know, thanks seain

4:58 pm

no clue where i am in the ranks, if i even show up

I just do not like the 666 number...I thought yesterday after Fireworks it might have gone up but Nooooo...so I finished today.

5:02 pm

why are so many 1030?

5:02 pm

that column maxes at 1030

5:02 pm

at that point, track you from the left column

yes. I keep trying to finish more often, but you know that usually lasts about 3 days...

5:03 pm

i know, just wondering why. i guess i could go look at how rankings are calculated, but i'm being lazy. don't worry about it, no biggie!

5:03 pm

7:25 pm

very young george

7:25 pm

feather....don't get the ta clue...at least not how we spell it here....lol

ooh, yeah, could go for one of them! (cuppa)

yeah, I was at one time, jmc! once upon much too long a time ago!

7:26 pm

I never leave myself signed into Babble.Always log off whatever website I'm using. Hubby never signs off of his websites. When I get to laptop I have to sign him off which drives me nuts! It's an extra step I have to do before I get to what I want to do. Stupid, I know.

7:26 pm

get a netbook for yourself min

7:26 pm

you could always leave messages from his accounts, min. he might stop then ;)

7:26 pm

lol leslie

7:26 pm

i'm always signed in to babble, lol. if my computer's on, i'm signed in.

oh I do most of the time, but didn't bother today, or yesterday now rather, had other things to contend with, what a fun evening it turned out to be--heavy on the sarcasm!!

7:27 pm

did your "friend" stop calling yet?

7:27 pm

do tell george

feather, remember that tosser who got hold of my phone number and kept calling me and singing badly??

ha, no friend of mine!! found out who he was though!

7:27 pm

at6/36 is a plus *o*** waste, change the o to another vowel bekki.

called the police, letting them deal with it

7:27 pm

has he stopped?

found out who gave him my number and all!

7:27 pm

*deletes george's tele # from cell phone*

7:27 pm

ahh, very good!

yeah, of course he has -- we had quite a fight going on earlier!

see my updates, feather, it's all in there!

7:29 pm

minveryork, think my mind is dead still can't figure it out

7:29 pm

k, will do

you'll laugh though, I posted the number on my twitter and yahoo pages and Soodlebum rang him up and sang really badly to him, she said she thought lots of people were probably doing that coz he was well pissed off, ha, ha!!

7:29 pm

the blob was created from *o*** waste bekki

7:29 pm

Okay fellow babblers..it has NOT been a good eveining on babble, got kicked off and now I can not get the ta6...and do not get the potato reference

7:30 pm

*o*** waste is poisonous waste. Does that help bekki?

7:30 pm

it's all i need for fw....*sobs*

7:30 pm

now change the vowel i typed and add an a to the front

that was a great clue, Min, got that one, ta! xx

7:31 pm

ta6=lacemaking + neckwear

7:31 pm

THANK YOU FINALLY GOT FIR WORKS

7:31 pm

7:32 pm

nom nom nom

7:32 pm

whoo hoo bekki

7:32 pm

whooo hooo jilly

7:33 pm

so funny....i used to get this tea when i went to hang out at barnes and noble all the time. haven't had it in ages. first sip made me think of that though!

7:33 pm

smell and taste are the strongest memory recallers

7:33 pm

what a terrible sentence but you know what i mean

7:33 pm

yep!

7:34 pm

to the first. ignored the sentence structure, lol.

7:34 pm

ty for ignoring the sentence structure i am worn out from a job interview

7:34 pm

you would think at my age i wouldn't care

7:35 pm

she used all of her grammatically correct sentences there

7:35 pm

understandable, jmc

7:35 pm

feather....the pioneers made ginger tea with fresh ginger...I have done it with lemon and honey...helps the tummy

7:35 pm

you're interviewing for a new job? as what?

7:35 pm

i thought i sounded horribly vain in the interview

7:35 pm

the head of a quaker organization

7:35 pm

not vain. self-confident.

7:35 pm

oh wow!

7:36 pm

there are about 10 such jobs open this year

7:36 pm

i drank this when pregnant as well, for morning sickness. must have had it more often at barnes and noble though, that was the first memory!

7:36 pm

I know how much you would like this job...while I bet it went fine, you have ((hugs)) from me for your distress

7:37 pm

now i will beat myself up for the next few hours before i settle down and focus

7:37 pm

take 5 minutes and meditate, if you ever do such things. it will clear your mind.

7:38 pm

if i ever meditate? . . . .lol

7:38 pm

yipes...didn't see time here...off to fix dinner. See you all tomorrow..hitting pillows before flip....thanks again for help.

7:38 pm

7:39 pm

that is what meeting for worship is feather

7:39 pm

group meditation

7:39 pm

Oh jmc...I have found the following to help...visualize a windy pond and focus on creating a still calm pond to reflect your spirit

7:39 pm

oh! then a resounding yes!

7:40 pm

ty i knew i could count you guys to make me feel less like an idiot

7:40 pm

yes, but i'm talking about the specific type of meditation where you clear your mind and just focus on your breath for a few minutes.

7:40 pm

yes that too feather

7:40 pm

but i just realized i am missing the cowboys v redskins game0

7:40 pm

lol, k, i'll hush now.

7:43 pm

I will do a story of clues as I aw 5/10 to enter my last word. I was supposed to goto Taste of Danbury, but plans went aw4/10 after hubby and I had a spat. We had a cr 4/5is with Jack which sparked the spat. My dog's ga 4/6 was sort of off & we had to bring him to the vet. We had to take a ta 4/9 to the vet because we ran out of gas and that's what started the spat. I often let my car run out of gas&it drives hubby nuts! I think he is just a tw4/8 and overeacts.Hubby is wa 4/8ing for computer.I will be back later to enter last word and to help out with clues. See you later tonight

7:46 pm

It wasn't very well attended, either, which was kind of sad...but Tim hadn't spent much time there since he graduated from high school...

8:15 pm

It sounds like you were disappointed, Jellen. That is a lot of driving for so little.

8:15 pm

was it helpful to his mom?

8:16 pm

I'm not sure...she's difficult to read...she was angry with Tim's bro and one of her friends who didn't show...

8:17 pm

that must have made her feel bad that her son and friend weren't there

StRoke, I meant.

thanks for the at6/33! Still looking for the at6/36

9:36 pm

It's okay here, Hern. Foot's healed but the nerve paths from toe tip to spine and up to back of neck are trying to heal now. It's rather painful at times.

What did you do to your self? Is that the stairs incident?

9:37 pm

Nonnie - at6.36 ends the same word with a consonant rather than a vowel.

9:37 pm

Goodnight all. Going to bed early so the kidlets don't kill me again tomorrow. nighty night/

Night Min

9:37 pm

*POOF*

good night minski

Goodbye Minski! I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log!

9:38 pm

Herin - Yes, still the stairs thing some 8 weeks on.

Ok so there is 2 At 6 and 1 7?

9:40 pm

Well done, Nonnie.

9:40 pm

Congratulations NonnieLight on fireworks!Way to go!

Yah Nonnie

9:41 pm

howdy everyone:)

Thanks all. Jac, sorry to hear about your injury and the healing pain. I hope you continue to progress.

9:42 pm

Hello crosshair! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle!

hello crossy!

9:42 pm

Thanks nonnie.

9:42 pm

Thanks nonnie.

9:42 pm

Hi crossy.

9:44 pm

Incidentally, before anyone says it, I've already had the 'deer caught in the headlights' comment about my latest self-photographing attempt in my icon.

HI Crossie

Ok Jac and OUCH.

9:44 pm

I can't help it if I keep surprising myself! LOL

9:44 pm

jacula re: nerve damage healing from scars etc...it is a 50/50 shot at best,with all my operations,i have never ever had the nerves heal totally and i have had so many operations,amputation, that i look like a patchwork quilt in places lol..but i wish you nothing but the best and hope you get all the sensation back

9:44 pm

LOL Jacula!

9:45 pm

Crossy - the one word that worried me in your post to me was 'amputation'.:(

9:45 pm

lol,i was gonna say it looked like someone goosed ya ;))

9:45 pm

Jacula, how did you get nerve damage. I am so sorry!

9:46 pm

seminoma/groin cancer...lefty had to go;((

9:47 pm

and i have only 1 toe..

9:48 pm

Min - a simple, stupid accident that happened in a second. I fell backwards out of an loose slipper off about the 4th or 5th stair up. My foot jerked down and back quite violently and I fell backwards down the stairs to the floor below. Didn't hit my head or injure any other part of myself, but, as soon as the foot sliiped, I felt the pain.

9:48 pm

so was it a break,or a over extension?

9:50 pm

Not a break, crossy, just an over extension. Though they didn't x-ray my ankle where most of the trouble is now and which is still swollen. However, since it didn't turn black, I assume there was no break.

9:50 pm

over extensions can be very painful indeed,i did that with my wrist and thumb once

9:50 pm

So, crossy, only one ball (like the song about Hitler said) and only 6 toes in all? That's grim.

9:50 pm

can actually be more painful than a break

I still have that big bruise on my leg from the 28th of may

9:51 pm

just the great toe on the right foot is gone,have the rest

9:51 pm

Yes, crossy, the doctors told me that and that it can take far longer to heal than a break. Having once broken a toe, I agree.

9:52 pm

lol herin,i told you not to be so fiesty,give the poor fella a break.your too rough;)))

Naughty no that was when i went arse over on the tram

9:53 pm

Herin - if you still have a bruise from back in May when it's now Septbember, you might need to get your bloods checked.

9:54 pm

I've noticed that injuries sustained in my 50s take far, far longer to heal/go away than they did in my 40s or at any time before.

9:54 pm

lol,i do have fun at check-ups now 'dr,i am having a lot of nerve damage pain in my groin area" and the doctor says"is the pain in the left or right teste?" and of yourse i respond "neither,the pain is on the central one" lol!

9:55 pm

And what do you reply if anyone asks you if you 'got the balls for it', crossy?

9:56 pm

i say yes a great big one,wanna see?

Jac they are fine. I donated blood recently. The doc says bone bruises take for ever to hell. If there was a pain or numbness then worrie

heal sorry not hell

9:58 pm

My other half had a ball of varicose vein removed from his left testicle. He was in so much pain afterwards and everything swole up to an alarming degree and turned black. He was told that the problem might recur, and it did within 3 months of the op. So, he has a constant, nagging, aching, dragging pain again but isn't going near a surgeon again.

9:59 pm

he should get it done,he can add some wild compications if he waits

9:59 pm

complications

10:00 pm

Herin - didn't know there was such a thing a a bone bruise. That might be what's wrong with my ankle then. And also my my right upper arm bone.

10:00 pm

crossy - I don't think he's keen.

10:00 pm

he could end up with no nuts at all and taking hormone therapy for the rest of his life and he would not like that

You can bruise something hard enough to bruise the bone. Think like a break but it isn't hard enough to break. I need a dr person to explain that better.

10:01 pm

Herin - I get your drift.

brain having the dumb today

10:01 pm

i am a big believer in getting things fixed as fast as possible,and after 3 cancers in five years,that is the reason i am still on this side of the dirt

10:01 pm

Crossy - I also get your drift. I think Beloved has made the right decision.

10:02 pm

Speaking of getting things fixed, here's a story for you...

10:03 pm

I went to the hospital with my Mum today to be 'the responsible adult' to be 'in charge of her' after her routine colonoscopy. We did wonder if me being on crutches might be a problem there, but no one mentioned it. Babble let me down, only being about 53 words, which I'd done before I even finished my morning cuppa. Normally, I print the grid out and take it with me to do whilst I'm waiting. I made do with a short story magazine and a crossword, plus some cheese and tomato sandwiches, a banana and a bottle of water. (I hid behind the door to partake of the food and drink, since you're not supposd to eat or drink in the waiting room, since people who have been starving and shitting for two days might also be in there. I was alone in the makeshift waiting room - the hospital is being rebuilt and the purpose-built Bums Department has been split at present. However, both the nurse and the receptionist who came to find me when Mum was ready to go home 20 mins before anticipated failed to find me. Obviously, neither of them have very good detection skills. Nor could they have called out, rather than just looked into the room. DUH! Glad to report that no bowel polyps were found this time. However, they did find two pockets of diverticulitis (that's when, with age, the bowel wall relaxes/stretches in places, thus making a dip where food or faeces can lie and potentially go bad and cause infections that can lead to death). They've told Mum she doesn't need to go back now unless she 'has any polyp symptoms' and that there's no need to go back if she has diverticulitis symptoms 'unless it's obviously an infection' or she's 'in pain'. I looked up the symptoms for both and they are very similar. I told her, 'Any symptoms at all - just go back! You don't want to end up dying of bowel cancer after all you've been through to prevent it!' She agrees. The nurse who booked her in, told us a couple of interesting things. First of all, when I said that I'd noticed they now had a 'capsule room' - that's a capsule you swallow with a video camera in it that tracks through the whole of your bowel, results captured on its exit - she told me it was a waste of time doing that. I asked why, because I thought it sounded a heck of a lot better than the starving and shitting process, even though you do have to spend a day in hospital. She said that, at present, the doctors never trust those results and always want to go in and have a look to double check anyway. Same applies to the newly-available CT scans. Let's hope they've got over those prejudices when I'm due for my next colonoscopy in 2012. Second interesting new development she informed us of was that, whenever they remove a polyp during a colonoscopy these days, they mark the place by tattooing a small blue spot on the bowel wall. 'If removal of a section of bowel becomes necessary,' she told us, 'Then it saves the surgeon having to guess how much.' 'BLOODY HELL!' said I. 'They GUESS?' I can't tell you the picture that came into my head then, but I expect you can imagine a Monty Python type scene. I also wondered if they tattoo a blue dotted line with a scissor sign for 'CUT HERE' at either end of the section of bowel in question. Mum said, 'Well, it'd be first for me to get a tattoo!' 'Me, too,' I said. ' But you could be all mysterious by telling people that you have tattoos... in places they can't see.' The nurse said, 'Well, if they do find anything, I'm going to tattoo 'ANITA WOZ 'ERE' on your bowel.' How comforting!

10:04 pm

lol I just saw the "deer in the headlights" comment from Jac and the "someone goosed ya" comment from crossy. Funny how those two things bring on the same look :o)

10:05 pm

Nonnie - startled. Yes. Or 'starkled' as a young friend of my son's once said, when they were both about 8.

10:05 pm

That story was from my private blog, btw.

10:05 pm

Starkled, I like that one.

10:06 pm

I wondered how you typed story so fast Jacula. LOL!

10:06 pm

lol,cute story..

10:07 pm

Nonnie - re the story aout my son and his friend - I'd attempted a hedgehog cake for him in very warm weather... she came into the resaurant and exclaimed that it looked like 'a starkled rat!' We've got that on video tape.

10:07 pm

wife has had 2 colonoscopy,s in the past year and a half...frist one was rough,second a breeze..go figure

10:08 pm

she has what they call a tourtous colon..a colon that has been streched too long

10:11 pm

ahahhahaa---I just read your tattooed bowel story and loved it, Jac. Hilarious and I'm glad your mother got a good report.

10:11 pm

Crossy , probably because the first time not only does the patient not know what to expect but neither to the doctors. They administer far too much dope teh first time around. They nearly killed my auntie that way!

10:11 pm

the doctors play x,s and o,s in there ,i am sure of it

10:12 pm

When I had my 3rd colonoscopy, I asked for my specs back so I could sit up and watch the monitor. Not many people see the inside of their own bowel.

10:13 pm

I think it would be interesting the see the inard workings.

10:13 pm

Mind you, I was naive enough to see a dark pointy thing above and ask 'what's that?'

10:13 pm

'That,' the surgeon told me, 'is your next shit'.

10:13 pm

Did I blush or did I?

10:14 pm

oh well,,,okay then :o)

10:15 pm

I haven't had the pleasure of going in for one butt I do know they'll have to knock me out if ever the time comes that I do have to have one.

10:16 pm

when i had to have my ankle opened up a few years ago to get some bone spurs filed off,it was right during a period where doctors all over the world seemed to be removing the wrong leg,arm,lung or whatever.so on the day of the sceduled surgery,i waited till i had been all prepped and was waiting to be wheeled into the operationg room and from under the sheet i grabbed a piece of christmas ribblon i has snuck in with me.i tied it round the ankle of the foot not being operated on and when the dr came in and pulled back the sheet,he was greeted with a big red ribbon that had written on it in black marker ""NOt THIS one:!

10:17 pm

ahhahahahaa...I hpoe it worked, crossy ahahahahaaa

10:17 pm

actually made him laugh lol

10:17 pm

well at least you gave them a chuckle, Crossy

10:17 pm

hi, just in to change icon

10:18 pm

and on that note,it is off to bed for crossy..goodnight everyone

10:19 pm

poof!

10:19 pm

I awoke from what I thought was supposed to be gallbladder surgery to the nurse telling me to lie still while she put the truss on me after my hernia repair. Had I been able to I tried to sit up and said "hernia??? I was in for my gallbladder!" She said oh yes, yes...gallbladder but you ALSO had hernia repair. Sheesh, she really killed the buzz I was having from the pain meds.

10:20 pm

There are net pics about the shaving of pubes. You dye them green and write 'don't mow the grass' above. The surgeon than writes, SORRY! above it and leaves you looking like a plucked duck. (That's how my Mum once decribed having a baby and shaved pubes to me.

10:21 pm

'Night crossy! Sleep well.

10:21 pm

Thankfully, they had stopped the shaving ritual by the time I was having my children.

10:21 pm

Nonnie - oh heck!

10:23 pm

They did it to me for my first child, because, despite him being breech and me delivering him normally, they thought a Caesarian might be needed.

10:23 pm

lol, I remember that shaved down to the knees as well as being painted with iodine

10:24 pm

They didn't do it to me for 2nd child 'cos I had her at home and I WAS IN CHARGE. Which is what I'd intended for first child, also.

10:24 pm

and those green surgical stockings !!

10:24 pm

Shall we play Can You Top This? I found blood on the back of a white skirt a few years ago -- eventually, after a sigmoidoscopy (ugh, no anaesthetic, ouch!) they found a polyp, so then a colonoscopy (with numbing, and I could watch) snaffled the thing. Biospsy said cancer, so surgery was organised, with another "flexibile siggy" (ouch) beforehand, when the surgeon said "Oh, there's nothing there!". I was watchng too, and thought I could remember where it had been, but couldn't see anything either. He said "Well, you're all prepped anyway, so we may as well do it," and chopped a bit out of the colon fairly near the exit. Fine, except that now there's a narrowing there and I can no longer have physical colonoscopies (too narrow for the camera) in case of another polyp, and have to have CT scans or barium Xrays, and if there IS a polyp, it can't be snipped off and I have to have the whole abdominal thing. So wish me no more polyps, please!

10:24 pm

Oh that is right...they used to slather the iodine from chin to toe. I'd forgetten about that. I'm so glad we're evolving.

10:24 pm

they stopped I believe before my second

10:25 pm

jilli - I wish you no more polyps!

10:25 pm

Ta, jac!

10:26 pm

Oh, Jilli...sorry to hear that and heres hoping no polyps to you!

10:26 pm

y/w Jilli.

10:26 pm

oh jill, that's horrible, we'll all wish you no polyps

10:27 pm

Of course, the whole thing is fun when you have to take a ferry for the virtual colonoscopy at another hospital, then drive for 15 minutes. So wearing Depends is mandatory and horrible!

10:27 pm

I missed seeing your icon for Sunday, great one, jilli

10:28 pm

Yuck but at least they have such things. Imagine the alternative...

10:28 pm

Well, they didn't play on Sunday, so it's still valid, flosey!

10:28 pm

I might have seemed to have been making light of cononosopies here, but I wasn't really. If my Mum hadn't taken my advide, succummbed to my nagging, I might not have my Mum now. My best friend's Mum never said anything to anyone, too embarrassed, and my besdt friend no longer has her Mum. I know which option I prefer.

10:30 pm

Sorry for your friend and I'm glad your momma listened to you and is still with you.

10:31 pm

We had a spanking new operating room on this island, paid for largely by the residents, then for inexplicable reasons our excellent surgeon was "retired" and the op room was closed, resulting in such problems for the likes of me. Protests continue in the hope of reinstituting the OR, but...???

10:32 pm

Too bad, jilli.

10:32 pm

We've got to get over embarrassment about such subjects as colonoscopies.

10:33 pm

They are lifesavers.

10:33 pm

Hello flosey and jillibus. Sorry I missed your entrances

10:33 pm

I shall now relinquish the soapbox.

10:33 pm

Hi Min.

10:34 pm

I'm going to hit the hay. Take care all. (jilli--you're right, of course.)

10:34 pm

Night, nonnie!

10:34 pm

brb

10:35 pm

Jilli - our purpose-built clinci has been split asunder by the building of a new hospital around it. The place in chaos right now and nobody knows who is where and who should be where. I hope it all comes together soon. However. Mum and me, being long-term patients of the 'QED/Bum clinic, are on the board of governers.

10:36 pm

Goodbye NonnieLight! I'll see you tomorrow in the log

10:36 pm

Trustees, I meant! Neither of us has attended a meeting yet, but I think we will both be at the next one.

10:36 pm

I'm going to follow NonnieLight and hit the hay as well

10:36 pm

Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow

10:37 pm

back again, goodnight Min

10:37 pm

'Night Min and Nonnie.

10:37 pm

back again, goodnight Min

10:37 pm

Hi flosey.

10:38 pm

night Min too!

10:38 pm

i Jacula, I'd never heard of Grandparent's day! what a lovely idea

10:38 pm

trust Min to come up with it

10:38 pm

**hi Jacula - am either missing letters or adding too many these days

hello, Jill and flosey, and Min, again! tried, but couldn't sleep for some reason, doesn't often happen! will go back to bed in a bit though!

10:39 pm

Jac, our hospital is run by the Vancouver Island Health Authority and they don't give a damn that we're another island.

10:39 pm

Hi there George

10:39 pm

Hi george dear.

10:39 pm

One of my old school friends still insists that alongside a childs' birthday, should come a day of rest for the mother. who went through labour for that child to be born.

ha! oh yeah, Jill, go read my updates, you'll laugh!!

10:40 pm

Jili, it must cost a bit for them to airlift emergencies to another facility

10:40 pm

Hello Mr. O'Dowd.

10:40 pm

flosey, it's nuts.

10:41 pm

I agree

10:41 pm

OK george -- back in a mo (or 2)

10:41 pm

2 words left; sorry I missed your discussion here but I also agree with jilli that we need to take care of our bodies. However, there is new resaearch out there saying that sigmoidoscopies are just as effective as colonoscopies.. The problem is that I've found them to be really awful in comparison to a colonoscopy!

10:42 pm

Nef - true.

10:46 pm

Right, nef -- I NEVER want another siggy!

10:47 pm

But they don't reach up as high as a colonoscopy.

10:47 pm

Babble is honoured indeed - we have both Julian Clary and Boy George amongst us.

10:48 pm

What famous face will be next, I wonder?

10:48 pm

me neither, jilli! I'm sorry that you had a cut-happy surgeon and hope and pray you never have any further problems

10:48 pm

Oh, shuddup, jac!

10:48 pm

I'm off to bed now. And, Jilli. don't tell me to shut up.

10:49 pm

I only said shuddup, lol!

10:50 pm

Yea, right. Goodnight. See you next grid.

10:50 pm

Night, jac.

Ops bye anyone I missed I had to do choirs

10:52 pm

well, our dinner guest just left and I'm not cleaning up the kitchen until tomorrow morning!

10:53 pm

Could someone Please clue that sa 5/12? I've been looking for the longest time and it's still invisible to me

10:54 pm

George - you knew I'd just have to sign in again to reply, didn't you? No, it's not that. I'm just fed up of all the fakes on here. If you're real for the faghag trail, then prove it. If I'm mistaken, then I apologise.

10:54 pm

wow what a great game! (the redskins won)

10:55 pm

sa5.12 is what you do when you fry potatoes or othe vegs.

10:55 pm

Nef, how you gently fry some foods

10:55 pm

Jacula, it's none of your bloody business who I or anyone else on here you don't know is and you are hardly entitled to make up shit in your warped imagination about anyone else! nor does anyone have to prove a damned thing to you, so sod off!

10:57 pm

Hi all , Stid the earth turns on its a***.

10:57 pm

aw4 maybe?

10:58 pm

AW 4 ... yes. I didn't see the ax 4

10:58 pm

jmc - I thought it was very nasty of Jilli to say that to you, unless you to have met and joked about it before. It's a good trick for a pic though!

10:58 pm

beth, that's firewords for me.

10:58 pm

yes jac, we have ALL met, and it's jmc's joke to begin with...

10:58 pm

woo hoo stid!

10:59 pm

George - why all the anger? I simply enquired if you might be someone?

10:59 pm

whoo hoo stiddie

10:59 pm

george, your language is lacking grace in a forum where young children sometimes show up.

10:59 pm

it was a trick i passed on at the west coast meet up jac

10:59 pm

We all had a big laugh about our double chins at the Babble gathering and even had a picture taken of us all with our hunds under our chins.

11:00 pm

stid - then it's funny. I enjoyed seeing the pics, even Shaun's devil eye.

11:00 pm

i also explained that a 3/4 angle slims you in full body photos

11:00 pm

Chugg - more drama than you might imagine on this site, though George is being rather melodramtic at present.

yeah, Chug, you wouldn't expect it but there are sadly some nasty minded f***wits about, even on here, as your having to see, unfortunately.....

11:03 pm

goodness

ha! that's a laugh, seeing as your doing nothing but, trying to stir up shit for no reason!

11:03 pm

11:03 pm

George - If you wer talking about me, I'm not nasty minded. I'm not trying to stir anything up either..

11:03 pm

Jac

11:04 pm

11:04 pm

Cold and rainy here

11:04 pm

What's wrong with you, George? Why ar you being so hostile?

11:04 pm

Hi Herin.

JAc: Don't you love when you say something left of field YOU must be drinking. You and I must met at AA one of these days

11:05 pm

the last week i was in kenya this guy who had just started a new career as a teacher took me to have a grilled cheese sandwich

11:05 pm

it was heavenly

11:05 pm

George, no, really, I am not. Please try to calm down.

11:05 pm

Herin - No.

11:05 pm

we spent a loverly day in the rain forest talking about our children and how to do the things in life we think we want to do

11:05 pm

like write

11:06 pm

You know why I like this site? It's because everyone here is supportive and Usually civil to everyone else. Please stop this childish rot.

(Love you Jac but seriously why is it that when we both say left of field we must be drinking

11:06 pm

well said Nef

11:06 pm

then when i came back state side i over heard he had died in his sleep

11:06 pm

ah jmc, how sad

11:06 pm

he was 2 years younger than I am

11:07 pm

but nice that you got to spend some time with him

11:07 pm

it was he was so excited about his future

11:07 pm

fw

JM that is sad

11:08 pm

wtg jmc, well done

11:08 pm

I remember you posting about him jmc. It's nice you had that short time to meet him; it's great that he left such a big impression on you too.

wow, the charred old pot really likes to call the kettle black....how ironic!

11:09 pm

I haven't been drinking, I haven't said anything to offend, I may have questioned, but I didn't do it to cause offence, so, please stop talking to me like I'm drunk or a half wit.

11:10 pm

Okay, George. Have it your own way.

11:10 pm

i am sorry am i repeating my stories?

11:10 pm

oh. fireworks for me too about the ten minutes ago.

11:10 pm

rats i like having new stories to tell!

11:11 pm

wtg Nef

11:11 pm

Isn't it strange how quickkly these new babble 'friends' become offensive/definsive?

11:11 pm

no, jmc, I remember how upset you were when you first heard about his death

11:11 pm

Jac, will you please leave it alone.

11:11 pm

jmc - tell as many stories as you like.

11:11 pm

yes this is making me want to come back in 49 minutes

George was that comment at me?

11:12 pm

jilli - why should I when I'm being got at?

11:12 pm

Good night all. I don't need this

11:12 pm

but you started it Jac!!

No she didn't

11:12 pm

I beg your pardon, herin

11:12 pm

oh lord.. ok ill be back in an hour

yeah, no kidding, flosey

11:13 pm

what dif who started it? you can all end it

eh, yes she did, try again, herin--or can't you see?

Beg your pardon. Sorry She said that we are blessed etc then a complete bitchritz

11:13 pm

You do realise all these are fakes? And, if they are not, then they are not very nice people? I f they were, they would come out into the open, defend themselves in a civilised way and not go straight to nasty troll mode.

Followed by: what's she on about, been drinking? yeah, must be it thus accusing Jac of drinking sorry just analyzing the facts

your being got at? what a laugh, when I was minding my own and not even saying a word to you, then you start in on me out of the blue for no bloody reaons when I don't even know you and you don't konw me at all?? yeah, all right!

fakes?? ha! perhaps that's what you are? no, I'm not fake, I'm as real flesh and blood as anyone!

11:15 pm

okay you can have the chog to piss on each other for 46 more minutes

11:15 pm

*poof*

11:15 pm

Case closed with that last post. Goodbye all.

11:15 pm

oh bother!!! I'm off until flip - such nonsense

well yeah, gee, when someone starts spouting nonsensical rubbish out of their own warped imagination for no reason at someone they don't even know? yeah, hardly rational behaviour there!

11:15 pm

Goodbye. See you later.

good riddance--don't let the door hit you on the way out! secondo thought, yeah, why not?

ps I would be pissed off too if someone accused me of drinking.

second, when I can type! good lord, what's wrong with some folk, eh? (headshake)

well then perhaps folk shouldn't act like they are, coz that's not the behaviour or manners of any decent, sane, rational or sober person!

all she said was We must be blessed blah blah blah what is so wrong with that.

(wanders off to stick head in oven get food)
