1:08 am

wow, MPitt -- interesting!

1:08 am

hi MPitt

1:08 am

I was reading about that in Time a while ago

1:09 am

:o) that's [probably] good then

1st 4 letters of antiperspirant and common conjunction (used in this clue)...

1:09 am

Yes, she developed preclampsia that rapidly turned into something called HELP syndrome and we almost lost her and the baby

1:10 am

Her BP skyrocketed and they believe that it caused so much stress on the baby that he is now anxious...

1:10 am

sounds painfully familiar mpit, what's HELP syndrome?

1:10 am

ah, have been working from wrong d

1:10 am

ah, ty dee -- was starting with the wrong D

1:11 am

snap, flosey ;-)

1:11 am

oh.. I got the last one

tyty Dee

yw glad you found it!

1:11 am

now have one 7 letter word!

1:12 am

Had to google HELLP syndrome... doesn't sound fun :o(

1:12 am

I can't remember the specifics but one of them was she developed a huge blood blister on the liver and it took a year for that to go down...if it burst she would have died.

wtg

1:12 am

me too, flosey -- did you see the "snap"?

1:12 am

frightening, mpit, how did they discover it?

1:12 am

yes

1:13 am

She is fine now thank goodness...so we can deal with Dylan's (my grandson) anxiety through play therapy...such a relief to us all...the best christmas present I could have hoped for!

1:14 am

glad to hear it; how old is the little tacker now?

1:14 am

That's great, MPitt -- happy Christmas indeed!

Hi everyone. Please don't give cryptic clues when I haven't even looked at the grid, Haz!

4:30 am

Okay.

Well, not unless I can immediately guess them!

4:33 am

Morning Sally.

Got them, so Haz is forgiven :-). Hallo FM.

*Anxious* Hope I haven't driven Haz away.

4:40 am

She s probably busy hoovering with one hand and finishing the grid with the other :)

I follow the Quentin Crisp school of housework :-)

4:42 am

lol do expand on that.

Just checking the exact quote: There is no need to do any housework at all. After the first four years the dirt doesn't get any worse.

4:45 am

Excellent.

He was a very funny and witty writer but apparently lived in squalor.

4:47 am

Am trying to rememberthe name of the actor who played him ages ago, guess I will have to google. Can so see his face but the name is just not coming.

4:48 am

John Hurt

Heehee, just checking some of his quotes because I can't be ** to go and find the book. I like this one: "If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style."

4:49 am

Thank you Chessy!

Yes, John Hurt, of course.

4:53 am

I need to go out today - don't want to :(

4:54 am

Me neither, but those xmas gifts aren't going to buy themselves ...

I have to go out this afternoon. But is it that you are just comfortable and snug, FM, or is it somewhere you really don't want to go?

4:55 am

Im snug and warm and it looks horrid out there.

Just dull and grey here, but bad weather forecast to come back later this week.

4:56 am

I'm doing my xmas shopping on line Chessy.

4:57 am

and I am still hoping the cards will write themselves and magically get posted.

lol, and in my case print themselves as well.

4:58 am

Oh well, deep breath, and off I dive into the shops. I may be some time ...

4:59 am

All this talk is making me think I had better get my act together.

bye for now them FM.

5:00 am

Bye Chessy and Sally.

Just over half way - slow grid today - so will go and do some printing and feel virtuous and come back later. Bye to any lurkers.

I've just read the back-chog. My daughter always uses the Joan Rivers quote "I sweep the room with a glance" and the other one she likes is I don't dust because it just needs doing again in 6 months!!

6:54 am

7:09 am

Hello, River :-)

7:10 am

7:10 am

tough little grid today

7:10 am

Nice and sunny although alittle bit nippy.

7:11 am

we have rainy and gloomy but warm 51F

7:11 am

i heard some parts of the USA had 24 inches of snow..YUK.

7:11 am

Me, I'm happy that it's snowing everywhere but here.

7:11 am

the midwest got hit hard

7:12 am

we had a dusting yesterday morning then turned to heavy rain

7:12 am

yes i saw it on the news, not nice at all.

7:12 am

I don't get how the Metrodome in Minnesota collapsed. They get snow like that all the time. Why wasn't that thing built to withstand it?

7:12 am

Good Morning All. It's minus 7 (F) here with a wind chill of 25 below right now. I don't leave for work for another 45 minutes; do you suppose it might warm up before I leave? ;-)

7:12 am

and now the cold is setting in out there so will make it difficult to clean up

7:13 am

LOL..love your sense of humor, NEF ;-)

7:13 am

morning Nef - yikes - dress warm

7:14 am

*Passing the long johns, warm out of the dryer to Nef*

7:14 am

Molly, the dome collapse because the blizzard made it too hazardous for the cleaners to be on the roof of it. We haven't got 24 inches of snow at once for over 20 years

7:14 am

Riverdance that word i said i keep trying..if you but another letter third from the end it becomes a word.

7:14 am

Now see, I thought that kind of snow was routine for y'all. I've learned my something new today.

7:16 am

Thank you Zoom. And Molly utters yet another "What the hell does that mean?"

7:16 am

we had 4 inches of snow a couple of weeks ago and the isle of wight ground to a halt..lol

7:16 am

Molly, I moves SOUTH for the warmed weather. NW and northern MN get stuff like this all the time. The Twin Cities don't get this stuff as much (we are 320 miles south of where I grew up in NW MN

7:16 am

yw Molly

7:17 am

7:19 am

You got it, zooz! ;-)

9:56 am

car is always full of gas before i park it

9:57 am

2 pounds of bacon are always in da fridge and vodka supplies are liberal

I am close enough to a Giant and a Shoppers that I can get to them after the roads are plowed. I usually stock up in advance though.

9:58 am

9:59 am

9:59 am

crossy -- last year (well, technically, earlier this year!) we wandered out in the thigh-high snow to explore our new community + discovered that, while everything else was closed (even the grocery store that day!), the beer store was open. and not only was it open, but they sold mine + dear husbands favorites! framboise for me, and maudite for him. we had to climb our way back through the snow with beer in hand to get home, but all the neighbors just decided that we were hardcore. ;)

9:59 am

clue for an 6

12:25 pm

Sally, I just got hooked on the BBC series, "MI-5." i LOVE IT AND AM ON SEASON 2 NOW.

12:26 pm

Oops, I hit the cap key.

Don't know that one Scrabs. BBC have some really good series though.

12:26 pm

bak

12:26 pm

she ate well :)

12:26 pm

I am going to explore the BBC DVDs.

12:27 pm

The cat, Seain?

12:27 pm

the niece

12:27 pm

she's 7 mos

Very often cheaper on Amazon than direct from BBC Scrabs.

12:28 pm

Did you feed her? Babies are messy.

12:28 pm

Or Netflix, Sally.

12:28 pm

i fed her some, and she fed herself banana and pear

12:28 pm

then we changed her clothes

Think that's probably US only Scrabs (just had quick look).

12:29 pm

Babies + toddlers enjoy feeding themselves.

12:29 pm

Haha, Seain.

Are you in charge dc?

12:29 pm

yep :) she handles the spoon well

12:30 pm

sally, i'm here and her mom is. I fed her while mom finished stuff, then shortly we'll go run errands

Lovely, dc, all the fun and none of the responsibility!

12:31 pm

heh. indeed. i go home at night :)

12:33 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the de7 plz?

12:33 pm

12:40 pm

er*shoe

12:40 pm

hi all

12:40 pm

Hi JM

12:41 pm

glad to see the NB is solved. hope he feels better soon

12:41 pm

Sailed on a river of crystal light, into a sea of dew. I love that poem.

12:42 pm

i was always more partial to the owl and the pussy cat

12:42 pm

I'm glad we found out what's going on with NB too. I like to pray specifically. Healing thoughts out to NB.

Same here jmc.

12:43 pm

seems silly that it was a secret but maybe it was less a secret than we just didn't know the answer

12:44 pm

What i shared earlier was shared before in here, and i felt yall had the right to know.

12:47 pm

so DC I later decided i was too vague. I was inviting you to our open house on Weds from 2 to 5.

12:47 pm

Molly has already snubbed me.

I'm so glad you shared dc, it isn't pruirient interest but concern. I for one was imaging such awful things. What has happened is obviously pretty serious for him, but not as bad as some of the things I for one had imagined!

12:47 pm

:-P

12:47 pm

how is NB

12:47 pm

: P : P : P

Sorry about typos but multi-tasking here.

12:48 pm

Seain, not sure where it was shared in here. We all seemed to be in the dark about NB until you told us what was going on. Unless I missed something. Which is entirely possible. Thanks for letting us know. I appreciate it.

12:48 pm

i confessed i feared assault so i know what you mean sally

OK, I feared death, accident, assault or prison!

12:49 pm

oh, thank you, JMC, still at St Margaret's?

12:49 pm

If you read the chog posts between JC and M9, you totally would have thought it was something like accident, assault or worse.

I am really really sorry that his trip has ended up like this. It was not good anyway, from the little he said, so this is just really bad for him.

12:50 pm

It was shared way back when he was first diagnosed, several weeks after he was back from Korea

12:50 pm

so, been a while

12:50 pm

yes dc, still there.

Well we were all in the dark dc, because of different times we all come in and out.

I for one am grateful to you. I was worried for him because he seems so young and vulnerable and I can imagine how I would feel if he were /my/ son.

Or (cough) grandson!

12:53 pm

happily, he has a good support network, and good medical care.

OK folks, dinner is ready and I have fireworks so will love you and leave you all. (Hopefully we won't have to change our clothes after eating, dc.)

12:54 pm

Congrats Sally!

12:56 pm

congrats, and enjoy dinner, Sally lol

12:56 pm

whooo hooo sally

1:17 pm

bbs

1:23 pm

Scrabs, have you seen the movie "Babies"

1:32 pm

Nope, but I must. My friends have told me great things. However, in my career I have seen babies from multiple cultures--Southeast Asia, Africa, India, Pakistan and have learned about differences in raising kids--feeding, discipline, etc

1:33 pm

The really great thing about the movie was that even thought the babies were raised under different circumstances, they all developed in the same way.

1:35 pm

Yep--the nervous system myelinates and skills emerge.

1:35 pm

I have taken care of blind babies, deaf babies...interesting too.

1:37 pm

And I have cared for babies born to deaf parents.

1:41 pm

Phantoms = cannoli, anvil

I have just returned. Hello everyone. Champ I had a good race, not a PR, but...

4:44 pm

Sorry about the PR, but congrats on a good race!!!

My PR was 12.01 m/m and this race was a 12.05 M/M with 2 years and all the injuries inbetween.

4:44 pm

Well I say TAKE IT and dance a little jig! ;)

4:44 pm

How do you feel?

I was actually one minute ahead of my desired pace and we got a 30 MPH gust headwind for the last two miles, I just could not fight that well enough.

I feel SORE. Trying to see how I will run tomorrow.

They had all sorts of first time race logistical issues, delayed start...for 30 min..

4:45 pm

My people did a 30K yesterday, and it was in the 40's, winds gusting into the 20 mph zone. They were either with it or against it. I FROZE!

The wind is a real challenge, I discovered!!!

How is your foot.

4:47 pm

BTW...there were 5 "seeing impaired" people running. They're tethered to another runner. One guy ran 30K in less than two hours, and he was partially blind!

4:47 pm

My foot is fine. I'm ready as I'll be. Won't be a PR year.

that is so cool. We have had a few of those runners at one of the races. SO much rust, I would be afraid of tripping.

4:48 pm

NO JOKE. Can't even imagine.

4:49 pm

OK...don't want to hog the chat. Glad it went well!

trust, that is.

Oh no, I have dominated chat. Please come back babblers. We will talk words, not legs.

4:50 pm

Been picking at this a lot today, and still 35 left. grrrr

37 for me, a tough one.

Hellooo Babblers, did we run you off? Come back. I have err, snicker doodles...and fudge.

4:51 pm

I need to lose 5 pounds bychristmas.

4:51 pm

4:52 pm

cause i've probably gained 5 pounds this year and my annual is just after Christmas.

time to reschedule that annual!!

4:53 pm

Ha! good idea!

4:53 pm

4:55 pm

Congratulations! That's a nice milestone, isn't it?

11:42 pm

*pops in* hi pini, kimm! :o) (and also hi to anyone else who is lurking)

11:42 pm

hi dfm

11:42 pm

dfm, help kimm hold down the fort while I take a 'puppy paws' (brb)

11:42 pm

You're taking the paws off your dog? :oO

11:43 pm

(potty break)

11:44 pm

(as in 'pause')

11:44 pm

yeah I know ;oP

11:46 pm

hands Pini some TP

11:46 pm

<-- is wavering between staying for the flip, or treating himself for possible food poisoning (which would involve forced regurgitation, not fun...)

11:47 pm

ugh

11:47 pm

what did you eat df?

11:47 pm

hmm, I like "vacillating" more. I'm going to vacillate instead of waver.

11:48 pm

well, I'm eating chicken right now, and apparently steaming it for 35 minutes still allows blood to explode out of it when I take a bite... and about 75% of the chicken is already in my stomach... don't know what to do...

11:48 pm

Hi dfm, & ruru! How are you tonight?

11:49 pm

Hmm.. I'd cook it longer than 35 minutes

11:49 pm

(and I've cut the chicken into portions small enough to take ~30 minutes to cook thoroughly.)

11:49 pm

fine kim.. you?

11:50 pm

no. it's done. you don't want it to dry out!

11:50 pm

I always cook chicken 40-45 minutes

11:50 pm

never steamed it though.

11:50 pm

that sounds kinda bland

11:50 pm

I am fine. Tired. I went shopping with my 21 yr old daughter who was in a foul mood.

11:51 pm

oh.. that's the xmas spirit..lol

11:52 pm

30 is usually enough for steaming... especially if it's cut into small-sized chunks... :o(

11:52 pm

I can't stand it when she gets like that. She truly thinks the world should revolve around her.

11:53 pm

I don't remember behaving that way when I was her age.

11:53 pm

it's the latest generation thing... I think some people are calling it the "me" generation?

11:54 pm

yes! what happened? is it a parenting thing, or what?

11:55 pm

could be a self absorbed kid?

11:55 pm

It's all about what "I" want... better work hours, better representation, more freedom, &c. &c. ... I can't stand it (and I'm *part* of that generation!)

11:56 pm

dfmchfhf --even if there's some blood, that alone won't cause food poisoning. Some people eat all meats raw. Perhaps it's the look of it that's upsetting your stomach?

11:56 pm

It's society...

11:56 pm

I was part of the free love generation.. we were muchhappier

11:56 pm

Ah, the sixties

11:56 pm

How old are you, dfm?

11:57 pm

hello

11:57 pm

hi mlf

11:58 pm

Hi, MLF

11:58 pm

hi ruru

11:58 pm

hi kim

11:58 pm

morning all

11:58 pm

i guess 214 for next grid

11:59 pm

I'm just really paranoid toward food poisoning -- most of the maladies I've had have been related to my digestive system.

11:59 pm

I'm nineteen, kimm

11:59 pm

and hi mlf, ish! :o)

11:59 pm

dfm i am always leer of red meat

11:59 pm

hi dfm

12:00 am

beef, mutton I am okay if I see raw... but chicken and pork, I don't like :o(
