3:07 am

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY everybody! They don't celebrate in France (no green beer), but they certainly did in NY where I grew up!

3:08 am

right i am off to work - see some of you later - have a good day

3:08 am

ERIN GO BRAGH ruby

3:08 am

I love St. Patrick's Day

3:09 am

bye kaz you too

3:09 am

they didn't celebrate in Miami, either (I wonder why) but I miss it.

3:10 am

husband's mother's birthday..her father called her his little Irish Mick..she was called Mickey for the rest of her life

3:10 am

her real name was Ethel Annabelle

3:11 am

my first married name was kelley and I've kept it ever since!

3:12 am

has anybody here seen kell(e)y?

3:12 am

I'm Irish at heart

3:12 am

and the song "Take me out to the ball game" was from the who Little Nelly Kelley, my nickname ever since

3:13 am

will you have corned beef and cabbage for the visiting daughter?

3:13 am

That's right !! I love the beginning of that song but hardly anyone sings it

3:13 am

she'll probably be tired, but will make a roast chicken. You can't get decent corned beef here

3:14 am

we'll be having it with friends..their house can smell lol

3:15 am

will she be arriving late?

3:15 am

my mother used to call it New England Boiled Dinner

3:16 am

that's pretty much it

3:16 am

she is already on the ground in Geneva, but I'm making her take a bus from the airport! Mean Ruby!

3:16 am

I always include beets so I can make red flannel hash with the leftoverw

3:16 am

that's not mean..I'm sure the bus is very nice

3:17 am

that sounds wonderful! I love beets.

3:17 am

not like the old rattle trap in Romancing the Stone

3:18 am

hey America is here

3:18 am

doesn't work lol

3:18 am

y son taught me a way of roasting plain beets, unpeeled, for two hours, letting them cool in the oven. Then peel them, add crumbled feta and oil, vinegar and oregano. Fabulous!

3:18 am

oh that sounds awesome

3:19 am

and very easy

3:19 am

we grate raw beets into our salad sometimes

3:19 am

what temp for the roasting? low and slow?

3:20 am

200C but I don't think it;s sensitive. When they "give", they're done

3:21 am

sounds so much better than our canned variety

3:21 am

I didn't eat any beets but jarred pickled ones 'til I grew up; the canned ones my mother served were inedible

3:22 am

love pickled beets..roommate's mother used to use the juice to pickle hardboiled eggs too pink and pretty

3:24 am

here it is possible to buy cooked, cleaned, clightly pickled ones. I then slice onions, garlic, turnip and add my own pickling brine and put it in jars in the fridge.

3:24 am

I'm coming to your house I think you have so many good things to eat

3:25 am

do you grow any vegetables?

3:25 am

except that I've become tired and lazy and don't cook every day - husband is willing to eat leftovers, so I do one big thing a week and he eats it for days

3:26 am

yes, great tomatoes, radishes and lots of berries and sometimes plums

3:26 am

we do the same thing..still cook for six lol

3:26 am

and he likes spicy food, so his stuff lasts longer....

3:27 am

I cook when the mood hits

3:27 am

that's it, westford!

3:27 am

I'm not a spicy food person..Jon is

3:27 am

emir

3:27 am

that's right ! lol

3:27 am

whoops - is there coffee in the pb?

3:28 am

I cook 3 dinners: one for him, one for me, one for dogs!

3:28 am

I think so also toll house cookies and corn muffins right out of the oven

3:28 am

wow you run a little restaurant

3:28 am

and then I collapse!

3:28 am

will his daughter need another meal as well?

3:29 am

but at least the dogs are smiling

3:29 am

we have cats and the price of their food is out of sight

3:29 am

I'm thinking of cooking for them too

3:30 am

I make beef heart risotto with some chicken and cauliflower for the dogs plus they get Purina kibble which costs 4X more here

3:30 am

I am distrustful of commercial animal foods since the Chinese debacle

3:31 am

that really sounds good

3:31 am

they also get brewers' yeast for their coats

3:31 am

if I sit up and beg may I have some risotto too?

3:31 am

that's good for keeping fleas away too

3:31 am

I don't even remember what cats eat as it's been so many years since I had one

3:32 am

with or without parmesan

3:32 am

they do come around whenever I open a can of tuna lol

3:32 am

both ways

3:32 am

hahah

3:33 am

good risotto takes a long time

3:33 am

at least it does when I make it

3:33 am

mine is ersatz risotto

3:33 am

if it tastes like the real thing who cares?

3:34 am

regular + brown rice, bouillon cube, various meats and cauliflower -- takes about 20 minutes prep and 20 mins cooking

3:34 am

they've never had the real thing

3:34 am

they'd probably bite me if they knew what they're missing

3:34 am

you should post the recipe

3:35 am

you think?

3:35 am

I'll do it after I get back from DIL stuff.

3:35 am

yes !!

3:35 am

okay good luck with that

3:36 am

Ruby has the best coat anybody has ever seen. Fortunately, there are no furriers around here

3:36 am

she's pretty in her picture

3:36 am

bet she gets brushed often

3:36 am

and Max too

3:37 am

have you always had Chow Chows?

3:37 am

I comb her sometimes but Max won't let me comb him. His front end is gorgeous; the back end is a scrawny mess

3:37 am

oh I would think he would like the attention

3:38 am

no, he's autistic, and I'm lucky her even lets me snuggle a little

3:38 am

he*

3:38 am

poor baby

3:38 am

Ruby, on the other hand, gets cuddled/stroked/combed for an hour a day

3:39 am

who is older?

3:39 am

he's doing much better, though, since I put him on Prozac (thank you, Temple Grandin!)

3:39 am

Ruby is a year older and "mothers" him a lot

3:39 am

have you had him since he was a puppy?

3:39 am

must go now. Thank you for the chat, westford

3:40 am

thank you too ruby I'm heading for bed..

3:40 am

I wish you a happy visit

3:40 am

he arrived from Canada at 4 months and we knew immediately that there was something wrong but the breeder denied knowing anything about it. I think that, in order to breed black chows, they do too much inbreeding.

3:40 am

we had another black one, and she died of a heart problem at two

3:41 am

he was lucky he came to you then

3:41 am

I think that's why the breeder, from whom we had already purchased 4 chows over the years, knew that. She figured that anybody else would have put down that remote but beautiful boy

3:42 am

I wonder if the plane ride traumatized him

3:42 am

I don't think so as all the others came from there, too

3:42 am

give him a gentle hug from me

3:43 am

one day I'll tell you about our daughter's cat..she's a strange one

3:43 am

but right now I'm gone 'poof'

3:43 am

hello all - Ruby I did'nt know that black chows are rare

3:44 am

I suppose a bit like chocolate Labs also I believe quite difficult to breed

Hey again all <3

3:51 am

Hello Ruby. How do?

3:52 am

and good morning all.

3:57 am

back for a minute

3:57 am

hi scouser

3:58 am

most chows are either cinnamon or shaded blonde, like Miss Ruby

3:58 am

black is beautiful, but from my (limited) experience, I think it's not such a good idea

3:59 am

Ruby my parents kept dogs and always said that chows need to be one-man-one-dog types?

3:59 am

who knew?

3:59 am

not ours! They have been the most gentle of dogs. They are not outgoing except very selectively and the first one didn't like men with beards (or black people)

4:00 am

Ruby and Rosie (our long-dead first one) were very protective of me but loved my husband just as much and also a few other people

4:01 am

they are, however, more like (very large) cats in their independence and stubbornness

4:01 am

we had a cat who hated white socks - we had permanently scarred ankles and toes for years

4:01 am

that's a riot!

4:01 am

it was very specific. grey or patterned socks were fine.

4:02 am

she must have been very smart!

4:02 am

argyles?

4:02 am

argyles ok too

4:02 am

the only person Rosie ever bit was a bearded vet but I didn't like him, either

4:02 am

I didn't bite him, though

4:03 am

my son built from Lego a large boat that just fitted in the bath and floated. There is a photo of said cat sailing in the bath.

4:03 am

please send it and I'll send it to my son who was a Lego fanatic when he was little

4:03 am

my address is in my profile

4:05 am

Will do. I will have to find it first amongst my 3000+ real photos non-digital.

4:08 am

It is a nice morning here - crisp sunshine and birds singing so I will bestir my stumps and go outside. I did gardening (shifting last years leaves) two days on the run. Time to make it three. Byee

8:58 am

Ah....my college roommate was from Big Spring

8:59 am

I live in San Antonio right now

8:59 am

just got ic 6 - my grandfather was one of these in NYC

8:59 am

i probally knew them ... I have lived here all my life

8:59 am

Last name Hale

9:00 am

jbv, your grandfather did hard work

9:00 am

It's strange to think way back to when people needed a visit from the ic6.

9:01 am

he was a strong guy, Annie - he lived to the age of 92 (died in 1977) - what a character!

9:01 am

i knew several people with that name

9:02 am

used to impress us as kids by cracking a walnut between his thumb and forefinger

9:02 am

Time for a break. 23 left. BBL. *POOF*

9:02 am

Parents were John and Marie. Marie died just last year in Llano, aged 98!

9:02 am

bye, judi

9:02 am

jbv, he must have been very colorful...my friend's father was an ic6 and we used to watch him hoist the ice onto his back and march up the stairs...we all loved him

9:03 am

bye judi

9:03 am

yes, there are many stories about that - he lived in Astoria but his ice route was in NYC, used to take the ferry, pick up horses at the stables on 92 st., (back in 1910s, 1920s)

9:08 am

Hi JBV

9:08 am

thanks, bab

9:10 am

elderly government health insurance COUNTS?!!

9:18 am

and how is mo6 not a proper noun???

9:19 am

the one brabble just clued? it's the plural of a latin word for a little bit - a *****um of decency, for instance

9:19 am

oh, ok, the only definition I saw was a town in Italy. I am mollified :-)

9:20 am

I objected to me8 earlier. That is most assuredly a proper noun. Enable is on crack.

9:20 am

i was all excited to do it as a proper noun, and then, nooo, it counts. lol

9:21 am

lol, molly, I don't have the me8.

9:21 am

enable IS cracked! Hi all, just opened chat.. off to get some bfast, brb

9:21 am

100 down -- need a break before listing

9:21 am

have fun, nan

9:21 am

see my outrage at 9:10, uusue

9:22 am

Molly - it isn't always used as a proper name...sometimes, it's just a term used for any country's government sponsored health system.

9:22 am

me 8? - a clue please?

9:22 am

thx, hurshy, I saw it but was suffering a brain fart at the time.

9:22 am

it's what's paying my dad's hospital bills, nan

9:23 am

Hi uusue and Nan and hurshy and whoever else I missed

9:23 am

oh -- got it! It may be a proper noun here, but to many of us in other countries it is not

9:24 am

so... anyone feel like cluing the other 8's and/or the 9 ?

9:24 am

re9/66 toted again

9:25 am

9:48 am

It was tough. I was 22, and starting my second year of graduate school.

9:49 am

9:49 am

well, of course it would sue, no one ever replaces your mother, and good that you have such fond memories

River, that is what my dad is afraid of. I hope it really is what she wants; otherwise she is going to wake up some day and really regret what she's done.

9:49 am

thx, annie, he seems to be doing at least as well as I am :-)

9:49 am

why Michigan - she has family there?

9:50 am

10:39 am

this is looking to be weirdo word day

10:39 am

10:40 am

10:40 am

yes it is a weirdo day...we had 2 blackouts yesterday in the complex where I live and we have had no hot water since yesterday...craving a shower

10:40 am

I nominate re8 as the weirdest of the day. Go ahead, use it in a sentence. : P

10:40 am

i think i am off to eat some aspirin and do some work

10:41 am

oh Annie, that is very frustrating

10:41 am

I'll second that one Molly

10:41 am

10:42 am

lol, jmc!

10:42 am

funny, jmc

10:42 am

the animal rights people burned down the lab again to we had to re8 it!

10:42 am

endless opportunities

10:43 am

now some else can come up with a sentence for the ra7

10:44 am

dictionary lists it as a noun that is archaic (imagine that) meaning the flying mammal - I saw the re8

10:44 am

re8 means bat?

10:44 am

i am afraid of re8!

10:44 am

that's what it said

10:45 am

They were my son's favorite animal - did a project on increasing understanding of them

10:47 am

there was a rabid bat epidemic in my neighborhood when i was about 4 and i have been afraid of them ever since

10:47 am

yaaa crossy got a re9;))..does happy dance....

10:47 am

oddly i have had bats in my current house 3 times (that i konw of)

Was you son a ballplayer?

10:49 am

The doctor at the Boston Marathon is the ra7, jmc

10:50 am

an avid soccer player - still is at 31. No we are cavers and see many bats in caves. Many caves are closed during the winter because bats use them to hibernate. Rabid bats are unusual - like other rabid animals.

10:50 am

interesting little grid so far;)

10:51 am

Wht!!! Great sentence!!

11:10 am

lol crossy

11:10 am

till then i never knew legs to go that high....but i digress back to word sniping

11:12 am

I think the weird me5 word is the plural of the thing that separates one side of the highway from the other

11:12 am

Hello!

11:12 am

diane was saying that arizona does not observe the time change..parts of our east coast also do not do the change

11:13 am

interesting word indeed sue

11:13 am

hi, car.!

11:14 am

reminds me of a word our very own little town got placed in the dictionary...elvii= more than one elvis

11:14 am

Much of Indiana doesn't do the time change either

11:14 am

the time change is killing me this week ....its dark now when the alarm goes off....but it sure is nice to have daylight at 6 pm

11:15 am

well I must get to work *sigh* will see you all tomorrow - have a great day everyone

11:15 am

tc riverdance

11:15 am

Bye River!

11:15 am

Hi uusue!

11:17 am

just paid off my son's Sallie Mae loan (one of the biggest rip-offs out there, IMHO - I would avoid Sallie Mae like the plague in the future). Thanks dad!!!!

11:19 am

we just put our sons child tax credit every month into canada savings bonds,they have a 7 year maturity and should see him through college

11:20 am

we can buy them once a year in october i think

11:20 am

nice, crossy - due to a couple of lousy ex-husbands (one of whom was my son's dad) I had no savings, so had to borrow.

11:20 am

;((

11:21 am

Our employer paid for half of the tuition rate at Wesleyan for any college. Great bonus

11:22 am

no university i am afraid 60,000 dollars for 4 years is out of the question ,but i do thing with college,he will learn enough to find his way in life

11:22 am

wow, that's great, bichon! My son is now attending NIU for half tuition (full fees, though) and living at home, so I can cover it even without savings.

11:23 am

what is your son studying sue?

11:23 am

I shudder to think about what it will be like when my boys are ready to go.

11:23 am

it was his 2-year degree in audio engineering from a for-profit school that really broke the bank (but it got him started on a career path, so was worth it)

11:23 am

We basically only had to pay for room and board, Wesley's tuition covered what was charged at State Universities. These days, State Universities charge a lot more

11:23 am

now he is studying electrical engineering, crossy

11:23 am

*Wesleyan

11:23 am

uu, a least he'll get a job

11:24 am

you mother was a very beautiful woman sue you must be a bombshell eh? lol

11:24 am

can anyone clue me the re8 plz? Just can't seem to get it.

11:24 am

yes, I think so, bichon (as long as he actually graduates - which I'm sure he will. He does still have flashes of irresponsibility but they are becoming less and less frequent)

11:25 am

again and again small rodents, sandie

11:25 am

lol crossy, maybe when I was younger - she was indeed quite a looker!

11:25 am

Sandie, think of a track meet + THE FIRST THREE LETTERS OF WHAT YOU TAKE IF YOU ARE ILL

11:25 am

Sorry for caps

11:26 am

that was the re7, bichon

11:26 am

uu Boys have a loooong maturation curve

11:26 am

thanks for that one. Strange one indeed.

11:26 am

actually the ra7, brain is starting to dissolve

11:26 am

yes, I've notice that, bichon, my son's dad still hasn't gotten there and he's 64 :-(

11:26 am

that was the ra 7

11:27 am

re 8 is re + ditto + small rodents

11:29 am

em 6?

11:30 am

did I stun the hog?

11:31 am

lol chog

11:31 am

My laptop has sticky keys

11:31 am

I just don't have it Bichon!

11:31 am

sometimes my does to bichon

11:32 am

Car, that is me Molly who sent the friend request at Facebook. We must discuss House. Hoo boy!

11:32 am

i will stay 25 forever,i call it as i see it;)

11:33 am

Ooooh! OK! I haven't seen the one from Monday yet....

11:33 am

I'm a week behind. I'm talking about the one where Cuddy gets the tumor.

11:33 am

i have a HUGE crush on Jesse Spencer!!! YUMMMMMMMMMMM

11:34 am

Oh OK! I am up to date on that one!

11:34 am

yummm is right

11:34 am

I told you...I was screaming at the TV screen at the end of that episode!

11:34 am

: p

11:35 am

she was NUTS to dump him for that. i mean, really, this is the first time in his life that he's tried to be there for someone else. so he needed a little chemical help. it was a huge situation. with practice, he'll get so he can be there for her without the chemical help.

11:36 am

Cuddy is nuts! Lets send her to the institution!

11:36 am

mmmm cuddy....

11:36 am

no, I totally agreed with what her character did.

11:36 am

Hursh, I have a totally different take on it. I think Cuddy finally realized that she had been deluding herself about being in love with an addict. What she said to him at the end was classic. "It's always going to be about you."

11:37 am

Yup.

11:37 am

well i think if she was going to dump him for that, she might as well have stuck with the dependable lucas in the first place. he was cute also.

11:37 am

clue for em 6 please

11:37 am

Yesterday, the pilot episode was on...they were all such babies then!

11:37 am

I still don't have it boo!

11:38 am

11:39 am

11:52 am

me7 is also from the top M :-)

11:54 am

May I please have the stats for the second N word from the top? I have the goose.

nbt = no blank tiles. meaning I found at least one word from each tile that has words from it

11:55 am

NBT = no blank tiles

11:55 am

NBS = No blank stats

11:55 am

12:50 pm

i got in trouble today because i was talking about people they started it

12:52 pm

fiddlestix, to answer your question about a good score - it's not really a competitive game in that the number of words (and therefore score) changes every day and you have no way of knowing at any time what anybody else is doing.

12:53 pm

i am sooo horrible at figuring out clues.. lol

12:53 pm

Google pictures of it sometime Stid. It's pretty cool.

1:40 pm

1:57 pm

1:57 pm

hm. first time I have seen a trumpet with paddles for valves (watching the "arts" channel this morning)

1:57 pm

1:58 pm

thanks molly!

1:58 pm

Thanks, Molly :-)

1:59 pm

really? So I should think of some other word for the smaller-than-rats?

1:59 pm

{{sprite}} hi and bye

2:16 pm

hi rubyfoo

2:17 pm

today I have decided that qualitatively I am a great housecleaner. Even though quantitatively I suck.

2:17 pm

I was thinking Jean Harlow, Sue.

2:18 pm

I'm not sure I measure up on either, Sprite, but I keep a decently clean place.

2:19 pm

that is a funny idea, sprite, so the stove is immaculate and the floor spotty?

2:20 pm

ummmm no, once in a while everything is immaculate :)

2:20 pm

I can't quite keep up....

2:20 pm

she did, jac, although less sultry, and less blonde than Harlow. She was a very attractive woman, though!

2:21 pm

Good Morning all! Happy St. Patrick's Day and Happy B-Day to my youngest daughter!!!

2:21 pm

lol Molly :) I don't... can't pay a cleaning help and physically I have to be careful because of a couple of handicaps. But when I have a good day and I do clean... it IS clean :)

2:21 pm

hi YadNivek, same to you and gratz on your daughter.

2:22 pm

hello yad and happy b-day to your daughter. How old is she?

2:43 pm

hello all - sorry sprite - weet niks van HTML and really dont know much HTML at all

2:43 pm

I don't know any and I am trying to edit a very simple page. I think I need the code for a new line. Like 'enter' in wordprocessing.

2:43 pm

lol ursh! Love the dutch :D

2:44 pm

what are you trying to do in HTML?

2:45 pm

I have been given a template. I need to put some text into it, and I did, and it shows. But I cannot seem to make paragraphs or even to start on a new line with a new sentence.

2:46 pm

put <p> and </p> before and after your paragraphs

2:46 pm

ok! Thanks Shirlockc :D

2:47 pm

2:48 pm

if you get stuck again

2:50 pm

ok, will look it up, this looks like fun! I should really learn how to do that.

2:51 pm

like learning a new language, practice and persistence :)

2:52 pm

Truly, the best way to do a corned beef is to cook it a few days ahead, then let it sit in the fridge, absorbing all the seasonings. I forgot this year, shame on me.

Ugh. The House Republicans voted to defund NPR today

4:50 pm

thanks lbu :)

4:50 pm

lbu.....lol

4:51 pm

well npr will just have to cut some of those 1/2 million dollars salaries

4:51 pm

ugh cos

4:51 pm

ugh is right, cos--listening right now

4:51 pm

I love NPR

4:51 pm

i love npr too but i think they are way overfunded

4:51 pm

Our state legistlature just eliminated all funding for any Planned Parenthood clinics...sigh...

4:51 pm

Zero tax dollars will be saved from today's vote though.

4:51 pm

*sigh* jilly

4:52 pm

really cosd how so?

4:52 pm

hi foam nice to meet you

4:52 pm

overfunded??? with quarterly pleas for money? at the end of each fundraiser, their voices are ragged

4:52 pm

wait i met you the other day didn't I

4:52 pm

liberal blog yes but.. valid points http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/03/ 17/957304/-House-to-debate-emergency-b ill-to-defund-NPR

4:52 pm

PBS is next. Ugh.

4:52 pm

go to guidestar.org and look at some of the financial figures

4:53 pm

thats not the worst thing the republicasns did this week... in michigan they just gave the governor power to fire elected officials.

4:53 pm

sorry, chrome hiccuped, back again although still recording one last set of grades

4:54 pm

the head of the pr in philly makes $750,000 salary according to my sil who like me is a liberal

4:54 pm

i am not sure that will stand cosd

4:54 pm

yeah the execs at npr shld have to answer to that i agre

4:54 pm

but cutting funds is not the answer.

4:54 pm

they can vote things in an not have them stand up in court

4:55 pm

punish everyone else except the execs is basically what they want to do.

4:55 pm

"let them eat cake"

4:55 pm

well are they likely to cut their bloated salaries if they are fully funded?

4:55 pm

the nonprofit world is big business!

4:56 pm

no, not the execs--the perceived liberal bias, which is nonsense

4:56 pm

yeah i agree. but its the little people who get punished with this vote.

4:56 pm

then donors should demand that their donations go to lower level people's salaries and not the execs

4:57 pm

thats a good way to go by jmc :)

4:57 pm

nonprofits are not as accountable as for-profits even

4:57 pm

congress shld hold execs accountable. and not punish the whole system is what im trying to say i guess

4:58 pm

in a for profit the stock holders can make a fuss if the money goes into bloated salaries

4:58 pm

don't talk exec pay till we "do something" about bankers and fund managers...

4:58 pm

Like the execs and politicos pay any attention to their constituents

4:58 pm

remied

4:58 pm

but john bonehead is so in love with big business he wont do anything

4:58 pm

"oops, sorry--was trying to noodle out er 5/12

4:58 pm

well that brings me back to my earlier point--many nonprofits are big business

4:59 pm

do 5/16 please?

4:59 pm

yes, and their heads deserve respectable salaries

4:59 pm

that was no help at all foam! lol

4:59 pm

ty

I am also Irish, but, I have to admit...I do not celebrate it that much.

6:00 pm

there is a ce 4 that means the number for Nothing....sort of a spanglish-y word.

6:01 pm

I think I just got that one, need the first one

6:01 pm

nm, got that one too

sorry no list yet so I dont know..which is what.

how is Dad?

6:03 pm

He's doing really well, red, walking on his own around the house (no walker or stick or anything!).

super to hear.

6:03 pm

Mostly now he's a little lonely but he's keeping himself pretty busy.

so you have been able to return home? I am a bit behind...

6:04 pm

yes, I was there for two weeks, home for a week, went back for four days, and got home last night.

Nice to be in your own bed??

6:16 pm

Sue, aw, it makes me sad to hear that your Dad is lonely. From what you've said, he sounds like a real good guy. What's up with his wife, if you feel like yacking about it.

6:16 pm

? sue

6:17 pm

Sorry, didn't realize we had two Sues on board. UUSue is who I was referring to.

6:17 pm

Hey again all!

6:17 pm

She's been moved to a rehab center but is still ailing. She's formally filed for divorce, and he now has a lawyer. I haven't talked to her in quite a while; she talks to her son, he texts me, and I talk to my dad.

6:18 pm

What a sad way for them to end. Sending out extra blessings for your Dad.

6:18 pm

Although she did talk to my dad a few nights ago - called him on her cell phone - he said they had a good talk, she wants him to be able to keep the house, so I'm wondering how much of this is coming from her sons. One of them hung up on my dad while I was there :-(

6:18 pm

the last mi5 please?

6:19 pm

oh that was nice that she wants him to have the house.

6:19 pm

dont have, sorry

6:19 pm

I could really use the 2nd de6, cos

6:20 pm

but if they get divorced and he has to reimburse her for half its value, I don't think he can do that without selling it

6:20 pm

de + frozen water+ ;etter

6:20 pm

oh no wrong de6 sorry

6:20 pm

same first 3 letters as the de6 before it, then sounds like a container u put cremated ashes in, change the first vowel

6:21 pm

thx, cos, I couldn't figure out how to clue it!

6:21 pm

yw uusue i had to get creative lol

6:22 pm

Ugh, this definitely sounds like it's coming from the greedy sons. Who seemed to move in like vultures once your Dad had health problems. Ugh again.

not totally getting it.

6:23 pm

container u put ashes in is an u**... just change the U to another vowel

6:23 pm

got it

6:23 pm

well, they did have a nasty argument while he was in rehab (when her sons were not around); I called her right after that and she told me he had been very mean to her and as far as she was concerned the marriage was over. So it's a complicated situation, lots of strong feelings, two elderly people not in the best of health....sigh

6:23 pm

keep going up red

I think I must not have the other de6 because its the other 3rd letter than has be messed up...

6:24 pm

do u have the de + to take **** of ones health?

6:24 pm

2-point letter, red

Ahhh cos, that was why I was working with the removal of cold stuff word...

6:25 pm

when you de6 something you judge between them

6:25 pm

d's are dead!!!!!

6:26 pm

Well Sue, it's been said that some people grow old together well and some don't. Maybe it wasn't the case for these two. I hope they both find a comfort zone beyond what they had.

6:26 pm

I hope so too, Molly. They had a good 35 years together.

6:27 pm

just monkeyed the last mi5 if anyone needs it

6:27 pm

7:34 pm

Mountains look stormy...will soon hit valley...how about you?

7:35 pm

we've had snow, rain, sun and wind. typical "late winter, early spring" weather.

7:35 pm

gotta love the gropple!!

7:36 pm

i remember when we used to call it corn snow. lol

7:37 pm

other news, they are really making progress on 93...we'll have 4-lane to Missoula sometime this summer!!

7:37 pm

wonder how many folks are eating corned beef and cabbage tonight? and lots of green beer

7:37 pm

wow, didn't know they were even working on doing that. shows you how often i get out of the valley.

7:38 pm

They had it at the hospital today....can only have the cabbage...last 7 days of the diet...

7:38 pm

stock up and freeze it! lol

7:38 pm

You ought to come down here and we'll get together with harpjane!

7:38 pm

how is Jane? haven't seen her online in a long time

7:39 pm

Worse than that, I have the March church potluck at my house and make pasties...won't get to eat any on Saturday...but they WILL be frozen

7:40 pm

argh, that's a cruel diet!

7:40 pm

or really bad planning!

7:40 pm

She hasn't been singing with my group this month...did see her a few weeks ago and she was fine

7:40 pm

she's always so busy!

7:41 pm

She must be sneaking in, her stats are still up there

7:41 pm

i bet she's lurking! come out come out where ever you are, HarpJane!

7:42 pm

Well, have lost 35 pounds in 43 days...

7:42 pm

WOW!! good for you! what kind of diet are you on?

7:42 pm

hey jilly! well done! hi all!

7:42 pm

hi stiddy!

7:43 pm

harpjane? where? *looks in lurkbox*

7:43 pm

That's why I went up to your valley in January, you have a naturopathic clinic...HCG injections

7:43 pm

HCG?

7:43 pm

Hi Stiddy *hugs*...LONG time no see...how are you

7:43 pm

?

7:44 pm

pregnancy hormone

7:44 pm

the advantage to babbling on my netbook (mac still out of commission) is that I have lickety...

7:44 pm

and that makes you lose weight? i'm confused

7:45 pm

can't live without lickety

7:45 pm

Yep, causes body to pull from your fat stores...you eat only 500 calories/day

7:45 pm

http://www.drgreenbean.com/hcg-diet/

7:46 pm

whoa, that's not much calorie intake. guess you have to really monitor what you eat.

7:46 pm

not healthy long term I suppose

7:47 pm

but short term maybe okay?

7:47 pm

Nope, 50 day cycle with 6 weeks maintenance before you can do again. but I have to admit...no hunger...cravings yes, but really not hungry

7:48 pm

With one more cycle I should have all the weight I need off

7:48 pm

if you can maintain afterward, sounds like a reasonable thing

7:48 pm

Was sooo nice when I transitioned from obese to overweight...lol

7:50 pm

how many cycles?

7:50 pm

At least according to the naturopath, the injections (I do B12 with it) have a better maintenance percentage than the drops

7:50 pm

this is my first dawg

7:50 pm

going to check out the site, brb

7:51 pm

It's quite controversial, but I really researched plus had a good friend on it before I started

7:53 pm

well, if you will be healthier and more comfortable, jilly, then that is a good thing

7:54 pm

tom and the elder stidkid are home. I should head out and talk at them. ((hugs)) be well, see you-all again soonish. *poof*

7:54 pm

Well, it was because my knees and hips were starting to hurt. Can't tell you how good I am feeling. Off many of my meds

7:55 pm

Now with warmer weather, can start walking to work (2 miles)

7:55 pm

7:58 pm

7:59 pm

Hi there peri!

*silly me, of course you do, you are a nurse!*

8:00 pm

Hey, two different things..poking someone else and poking yourself...believe me...LOL

8:02 pm

i think i could poke another person, probably even myself (do it often whilst sewing), but i couldn't do it to my dog! had to get the vet to do the shots.

8:02 pm

8:29 pm

hmm. last 3 sounds like but is not spelled like a respectful term for a gentleman.

hi all. ess can you answer a vet question> I;ll undersnatd if yo cannot

8:30 pm

i can try

8:30 pm

hi Owl

8:31 pm

the answer may be that critter needs to be seen in person though ;)

what are theissues with adopting a FIV pos cat?

8:32 pm

minimal, really. FIV is a very slowly progressive disease, and difficult to transmit, similar to HIV in humans.

8:33 pm

requires intense contact and bodily fluid transfer for transmission (fighting, biting, breeding), and many FIV cats live 10 - 12 years before showing signs...

when my friend volunteered at a shelter, they isolated positive cats

8:33 pm

since your average outdoor cat's life span is less than 10 years... *shrug*

8:33 pm

I would be concerned with introducing a positive cat to a household with other/negative cats, because cat fights are always a possibility with introductions.

8:34 pm

also, you need to be aware that FIV positive does not necessarily mean they are infected. FIV vaccination causes a positive on the test, and there is no way to de6 between a positive from vaccination and positive from exposure.

this is a rescue that the host must give up because of moving. 5-6 yo

8:36 pm

when/if disease occurs, it results in immune suppression, and usually chronic/recurring infections from opportunistic bacteria... respiratory infections that won't go away and/or progress to pneumonia, for instance.

has been tested 2-3 times

8:36 pm

there are a few "FIV/FeLV +" specific rescues, but they're hard to find and usually full.

does it always progress to full disease?

8:37 pm

yeah, retesting doesn't really accomplish anything, unless they were just exposed.

8:38 pm

no. lots of them die of other things before the FIV gets around to causing issues. Remember, very slow progression--cat may get cancer or die of renal failure or other old age problem before the FIV does anything, especially if they contract it as an older cat.

8:38 pm

found the me words ty jess

8:38 pm

help with me6/21 pls

hey

and risk to humans?

8:39 pm

I don't have an me 6/21. there's an mi 6/21, but it's one of the words I havent found yet.

hey temple!!!!!!!!!!!

8:39 pm

no risk to humans, not transmissible across specis.

8:39 pm

species.

8:40 pm

that is what I meant, will keep looking

hello fast. ty jess, this is a handsome ginger maine coon like boy

8:41 pm

do you have other cats?

8:41 pm

Peri, do you have the me5-14 above it?

8:41 pm

have all the me words gap

no. but i would liek to . and truthfully, am enjoying a pet moratorium, freedom and all

8:42 pm

evening all! R's retired

8:42 pm

hi dan :)

8:42 pm

The me6 is me7 minus the last letter.

8:43 pm

if he'll be an only cat, i would not recommend against adopting him. i would recommend keeping him inside though, so that there's no chance for him to be out fighting with other cats and potentially spreading it about.

8:43 pm

ty gap but I have all the me words

8:43 pm

Hi there, dan.

if only they had not posted that giant color pic

8:43 pm

Did that help, peri?

8:44 pm

just 4 ra words to go

8:44 pm

i assume that if they tested for FIV, they also tested for FeLV?

8:44 pm

I'd be more worried about that than the FIV, frankly

8:44 pm

OK

i don't know, no mention. they are not the same???

8:46 pm

no. FIV = cousin of HIV (both are species specific though). FeLV = Feline Leukemia Virus.

8:46 pm

May I please have a clue for me5-14? Thanks

8:46 pm

leukemia is much more likely to cause problems, though the problems are similar (immune suppression and secondary infections).

8:47 pm

french stick,liver and sausage pate with herbs and spices,brie,gouda,and hickory smoked 5 year old quebec cheddar,seedless green grapes bread and butter picklesand a nice bottle of vino for 2...mmmmm

8:47 pm

AAAH, crossy.

8:47 pm

grilled sourdough chicken breast, dubliner cheese, and apple sandwiches. yum! :D

ok i did not realize, so perhaps the dire state id the felv? when my friend told me about the shelter cats, it wa so di4

8:48 pm

sounds delish jes

8:48 pm

Yes, it does.

8:48 pm

it was delish, crossy! (i ate it all gone, and now am sad there isn't mo4)

8:49 pm

felv has a faster course, so you will more likely see problems associated with it.

8:49 pm

vaccination will NOT cause a false positive with that one, so if it shows up positive, it is.

ty. does not seem like a good choice for someone enjoying pet holiday and who had to see last two eaten by cancer.

8:50 pm

felv goes 1 of 3 ways. 1: they get it, they get sick, they die. 2: they get it, they clear it, they're fine, or 3: they get it, they carry it forever.

8:50 pm

it is also difficult to spread (same as FIV; direct/intense contact), so you can't carry it from one cat to another, and again there is no risk to other species.

ty

sorry to have hijacked chog

8:52 pm

but really really would stress the indoor only thing so as to avoid potential spread to other cats. Double check which it is that this cat has. but also keep in mind that if this is a leukemia pos cat that gets taken to the shelter, most shelters will either not take the cat, or will euthanize it (not to guilt trip you or anything!) so going to an only-cat, indoor-only home is really the ideal sitch for the cat.

8:53 pm

close one for your Owls today, TO :-)

but we came up o the right side, dan! ;)

8:53 pm

chronic FeLV infections can also take several years to develop problems, so it's not an immediate death sentence, but does mean the cat will probably not die of "old age", unlike FIV.

i will be happy to see nova one and done

8:54 pm

indeed

who do you have in the final four?

8:57 pm

It was totally crazy by my office today - all the bars were open for St. Paddy's, but there's also 4 basketball games at verizon center. Never seen it so crowded midday on a Thursday

8:57 pm

I'm pulling for Wisconsin and Pitt out of family loyalty, would like to see the Hoyas go far

jess, ty. it is never a good idea to let heart get you in overyour head, pets deserve better

9:02 pm

yeah, but if it is FIV, there's really minimal concerns

You'd better hurry up, though. I'll be off to bed soon, ramming in ear plugs so I can't hear Beloved snoring, and on guard for him enveloping me in a loving embrace with his leg and his arm that almost crushes me, since he's deeply asleep and so is a dead weight, plus him snorting warm air on the back of my neck like a fine pair of fire bellows, thus making my next hot flush/flash imminent.

10:59 pm

11:04 pm

Oh well, he HAS learned, since I went into The Change, that any violent movements from me to remove his person from my own, or any remarks like 'GETOFF ME!' Or, 'FOR GOD'S SAKE LEAVE ME ALONE!' aren't personal.

That's life and it's also goodnight from me. See you all next grid. In the meantime, Happy Babling!
