4:03 am

hello ruby - up far too early 5: am

4:03 am

{{flosey}}

4:03 am

when there's nobody here yet, at least I get some words in

4:04 am

86 in 11 minutes!

4:04 am

yes, lol - am still in Toronto, but have come down with a nasty cold

4:04 am

that is too bad; I hope it doesn't spoil your visit!

4:05 am

have missed seeing a few relatives, some cousins had planned a supper but had to miss it

4:06 am

so maddening, haven't had a cold in 2 years

4:10 am

how are you Ruby?

4:10 am

I don't get colds, mainly because I don't see or touch very many people, mostly stay in the house except for lunches out....

4:10 am

I don't know if that's good or bad!

4:10 am

good for you

4:11 am

I think what you do is better! you are active and get out a lot and even travel

4:11 am

I've stopped travelling, etc

4:12 am

I have 2 sons and a grandson in Toronto, have to come to see them

4:12 am

my son comes here once or twice a year and Burt's daughter comes once, but aside from the occasional houseguests, that's it.

4:13 am

of all places to visit, Toronto must be one of the best!

4:15 am

I love TO, we lived about 20 miles north for 30 years, kids grew up here

4:15 am

it looks really beuatiful on television and the best series all seem to be made there

4:16 am

I've only been there once, when I lived in NY state

4:16 am

but that was a long time ago and, from what I see on TV, there are myriad new buildings

4:16 am

sons were both married by the time we went west but the daughters eventually came west and will settle there

4:17 am

so you have 2 daughters and 2 sons?

4:17 am

yes, and one grandson here and one in Vancouvefr

4:17 am

half! with no clues in the chog, hahah

4:18 am

that is perfect! you are very fortunate!

4:18 am

ah, good for you, I'm only at 92

4:18 am

and now thumper is calling me, time to fix his aperitif and lunch! see you later

4:19 am

(but no big words, only 1 7. Will have to address that later)

4:19 am

nice chatting ruby, have a great day

4:19 am

and that q is such a tease!

4:19 am

you, too, and feel better! maybe hot water with whiskey and honey?

4:20 am

Hi River, how are your kids? Loving school?

9:24 am

good morning Babblers!

9:25 am

had alot of work to do yesterday and not much babble time

9:25 am

RED !!!\

9:25 am

I dont deadhead anything...my husbands job...I think he goes around once a week and pulls off the dead ones

9:25 am

hello red

How is everyone doing? I am going to change icon!

9:26 am

kids are doing great Annie...daughter is loving college so much I dont hear from her. Son is enjoying highschool and just finished out the soccer season last Friday with a win and 2 more goals to his credit. Now we wait for indoor track to start. He is playing indoor soccer so at least we have that once a week

9:27 am

my life is a little easier for a couple of weeks..lol

testing...

9:27 am

your test was successful

9:27 am

ahhh...half way

9:27 am

River, Happy to hear that

no the icon is still the same...

9:28 am

It would be nicer is Sarah called once in a while...I get a text only if she needs something..I suppose I should be happy she is happy

9:28 am

try refreshing a couple of times...it is showing on your profile

I think I have it this time...

9:29 am

River, I know..went through that when Liz was in college

9:29 am

its showing for me now that I refreshed

hmmmm

9:29 am

it would be awful if she was miserable and calling you every day!

9:29 am

hello red

9:29 am

I suppose but I miss her

9:30 am

of course, you are very close!

9:30 am

{{river}}

9:30 am

River, you know the overworked cliche...no news is good news...but it is true

9:30 am

She is coming home the weekend of Nov 5 - thats not so far away...there is a craft fair at the high school she wants to go to and they are taking applications at the ski mountain she worked at last year. She wants to do that again

9:30 am

((((River))))

9:30 am

snap, annie, you read my mind!

9:31 am

thanks friends..needed that

9:31 am

at least I have Keith to keep me going...I dont know what I will do in 4 years when he is gone too...not looking forward to the empty nest

ahh icon image was a gif, not a jpeg, will find the new one now...

9:33 am

red, how is your hip?

Hip is doing pretty well, the New Physical Therapist has been invaluable, plus the massage person...together, I think I will be running again in a few weeks...we'll see what he says today. Pain is negligible now though which is great. Thanks!

9:34 am

that is great news

9:34 am

yay, red!

9:35 am

146 words and giving these blurry eyes another break

9:35 am

see you later, kids

9:35 am

bye ruby - nice to see you

9:36 am

red, the friend who broke her hip last year had another hip replacement last week at The Hospital for Special Surgery. She is now in rehab...I pray for her. It must be very hard at your age.

9:36 am

{{river}}

9:36 am

bye ruby, rest those eyes

It's hard I think as we age...

9:36 am

yes, resting them in front of the fire....

9:36 am

* red, not at your age,,,at her age.

I can not get my icon to change!

I am lucky that my arms and such were very strong, but...

It was not very fun. but the constant pain I used to have is gone. which is very welcome!

9:38 am

red, that is why she had the second surgery..she was in a lot of pain

I think if I had started with this Physical Therapist, i would have had better success. he is very very tough, but I am seeing lots of results.

9:39 am

uh oh red boxes of doom

9:39 am

red, I will tell her what you said. It will encourage her.

9:39 am

time to go and get some work done - will be back later

9:40 am

bye river

9:40 am

bye river

9:40 am

bye for now my friends

9:40 am

bye river

She can do it. It is all about independence!

Bye River, have a nice day.

9:42 am

Yes, it is, red

9:43 am

uh oh, I also have the red box of doom

Ok well, i guess I am stuck with the lady in the bath....ugh.

well, I must run, nice to see everyone!

11:29 am

My husband and I are flying into Tampa on Sunday for a necessary vaca. We were going to Boca Grande; but, the red tide came in and there are thousands of dead fish. Lovely beach front rental. Now you can't open windows or walk on the beach. Plus the awful symptoms from the bloom...scratchy throat, watery eyes and hard to breathe. Does anyone know of a great place accessable from the Tampa airport?

11:30 am

who did you book your flight with, gramma? maybe they can make some recommendations?

11:32 am

We booked it ourselves.

11:33 am

check out priceline.com or expedia or any of the other sites that help plan trips.

11:34 am

I've been looking on line; but, I was hoping for some advice from experienced Babble travellers

11:36 am

any clues for the first de6,33?

11:37 am

It's like the next de5/20. With a double vowel in the beginning

11:37 am

gramma, my daughter lives near Tampa and I have been over there many times. Are you looking for a place to stay? Any place on the Tampa Bay coastline would be great. There are lovely beaches there.

11:38 am

ty.

11:39 am

Nancy, ty. We just don't know the area. We've been to Boca and Siesta Key. Any place that you'd reccomend?

11:39 am

We'd like to be on the gulf.

11:43 am

I would check online for places in and around Tampa Bay. There is a Greek city called Tarpon Springs that is really a nice place to visit. This is where the sponge divers operate and you can go out with them on tours ( I think they still do this). Great shopping and lots of things to do. Does that help at all?

11:44 am

I'll check it out.Thanks again

I went there about 25 years ago!

11:45 am

Did you like it, Pinny?

11:50 am

In googling it, it doesn't appear to be on the gulf. It does look cool tho.

It was nice

So, I always stayed in Sarasota, which I loved! If you want to go upmarket, St Armands Circle is amazing, and Naples is also really nice.

11:54 am

hey sammys! Guess what! I haven't seen you since forever-- you'd given me your recipe for chop suey the last time I saw you. I made it; froze half of it; and we're going to eat that 2nd half tonight! It's GOOD!!! :-)

1:50 pm

hi movie

1:50 pm

Anyone planning on seeing the Tintin movie?

1:51 pm

not me, movie (I don't "do" movies); but what's it about? I haven't seen it advertised yet

1:53 pm

In case you don't know, it's about a Belgian boy reporter

1:53 pm

He gets into an adventure about sunken treasure

1:55 pm

set in this day and age; or???

1:56 pm

2:01 pm

hi diane and ivesy (and MM too, BTW) :-)

it's a little cooler here.... only 87 right now ! .... snow is forecast back home :-(

hiya Nef :-)

2:01 pm

hi nef.:)

Ivesy...have a look at our "baby".... in my profile. She's already 4 1/2 months !

2:02 pm

43 here :(

2:02 pm

wow already ! will do

we've had it really hot... it's the first time we've been down here in October.

2:03 pm

diane, your picture is WAY to big to see the baby!

hmmm....it appears okay to me when I click on my profile..... the Flickr site

2:04 pm

having red boxes ahhhhh... and screwy lag..bbl

I can try changing the resolution.... ??

I can try changing the resolution.... ??

2:05 pm

but your atavar is huge. I can't see the picture, and large atavars slow down the chog

2:05 pm

Hi-diddly-ho, neighbors! Hey, Nef! I found my missing diamond!

2:05 pm

diane, your pic is causing the site to slow... can yu shrink it and reload?

2:05 pm

YAY, JUDI!!! Where was it???

you mean my profile picture or the pictures in my Flickr album ??

2:06 pm

the profile pic

2:06 pm

profile

2:06 pm

Who knows? But it ended up in the vacuum bag. It's at the jeweler now.

2:06 pm

did you find the diamond with the vacuum, Judi?

I'll remove it.... it's a butterfly on a blossom

2:07 pm

WONDERFUL!!! Happy Day for you!!!! :-)

2:07 pm

Yes, Nef. Then I put on my Darth Vader dust mask and sifted through the bag contents (what fun). Totally worth it.

2:09 pm

Judi!!!! I am so glad to hear you found your diamond.

2:10 pm

Thanks, Moll!

2:10 pm

sa

2:10 pm

I'm really happy for you. Make sure you get the jeweler to appraise it for you too

all fixed

2:11 pm

Adorable pictures of great grand girlie, Diane.

2:11 pm

ty diane, much better

2:11 pm

darn, "desat" isn't a word according to Enable.

2:12 pm

Jeweler says they don't appraise, but they gave me a name of a local guy who does. Discovered that diamond has a rather sizeable chip on one side. Not sure when or how that ever happened. Hubby only saw it after it was originally set. He didn't know if the chip existed before he gave it to me. So, I know that significantly reduces the value.

2:12 pm

thanks, diane. chog should be picking up soon as your old post has scrolled off

2:12 pm

YAY!!!!!!!!!! Judi found her diamond!!!!!

thanks Molly ! ..... that is her "grandma" teaching her bad habits, not me !! LOL

2:13 pm

hi all

I never noticed any lag in the chog.

2:13 pm

did you see the chip before the jeweler had the stone?

Hi jmc

2:14 pm

hi jmc! Yes! Isn't it exciting that she found it??!

2:14 pm

I can't wait to be a Grandma and teach Batter Licking 101 : )

2:14 pm

i had faith that she would like i did my hubby's ring

2:14 pm

No, Nef. They showed it to me while it was under the microscope. Errrgh. It also has two fairly large inclusions. Overall, it's kind of a crummy diamond, but I certainly won't be telling hubby that.

2:14 pm

i can wa**! no rush to be a grandma and pb for molls!

2:14 pm

We must be a lucky bunch. I found a small diamond that fell out of a setting once too.

2:15 pm

Good. I hope there are good eats in there. I sort of missed lunch today.

2:16 pm

oh i have some left over tuna and white bean salad

My daughter is 50, and delighted to be a grandma ( I was one at 44 )

2:17 pm

i am 60 and more than willing to wa**

2:17 pm

jmc; is your house enclosed yet? I keep looking at that picture and thinking about you being exposed to the elements

:-))

2:18 pm

oh oh oh they have built a second wall!

2:18 pm

i hope to have a new pic tomorrow for you

2:19 pm

there is suppose to be a roof before this weekend

2:19 pm

2:19 pm

did you not see the song molls helped me write?

2:20 pm

i'm dreaming of a kitchen for christmas, just like the ones i used to know, with the stove top cooking and my family looking to see me standing all aglow. i'm dreaming of a kitchen for christmas, with every christmas card i write, may your days be merry and bright, and may all your appliances be white

2:20 pm

no, I didn't

2:20 pm

lol, jmc! Well sung!

2:21 pm

LOL!!! I love it! :-D

I've always had good luck with Se--s appliance stores; I always check the Consumer Reports and do price comparisons and they have always been the best I found

2:24 pm

My last washer and microwave came from them. No problemos!

2:24 pm

and pl peri ;-)

2:40 pm

OMG! One of my wonderful fearless hunters (cat) just brought a present to my feet! the feet and tail of a squirrel... INSIDE THE HOUSE!

2:41 pm

UGH!

2:41 pm

*blech* but it is very touching

2:42 pm

Mmmm. Thigh meat.

2:42 pm

feet and tal? welliguess he will not need that can of friskiestonight then..but the hairballwillne nasty..:/

2:42 pm

on the day i was to graduate law school i woke with 104 temp and my cat sensing i was depressed as well as sick brought me two mice and a bird to cheer me up

2:42 pm

sweetie that he is, I patted him on the head and he proceeded to take it outside and placed it in his bowl... he's weird...

2:42 pm

Sorry folks. These are some of the reasons I'm not a cat person. (Prepares to be evicted from Babble)

2:42 pm

if the cat had brought in the rest of the squirrel you could have made brunswich stew

2:43 pm

and he'll definitely be "starving" at their dinner time...

2:43 pm

no you are fine there are dog people and cat people and omg you have a pet? people

2:43 pm

Ah. He was just showing off, Amelu.

2:43 pm

LOL!

2:44 pm

g

2:44 pm

At least it was only the pelt... no drippage (sorry)... and molly, I can understand that as I am not a dog person...

2:44 pm

so judi did you ever read about primal scream therapy? was all the rage in mid 1970s

2:44 pm

amelu has a small wild zoo at her place....if that hunter would have brought pieces of her other pets (racoons) she may not have been so understanding.

2:45 pm

hi jm! long time no see!

2:45 pm

oh, yes I would have! I could have made Max a coonskin cap!

2:45 pm

No, jmc. Some of us were just instinctually born with the urge to primal scream. I consider myself fortunate.

2:46 pm

i used to do it while driving to law school and on the freeway where no one could he** me--it was refreshing if hard on my throat

2:46 pm

some orange spray paint and we can make that squirrel tail into a coon tail for a cap!

2:46 pm

Gotta jet. Chores to do.

2:46 pm

bye judi

2:46 pm

O_o... Hmmm...

2:48 pm

attach it to a big rubber band... he could wear it like the girls are wearing feathers in their hair...

2:49 pm

my sister had a coon skin cap during the davy crockett era--i was so jealous

2:50 pm

Off to google: how to tan a tail.......don't want flies following the boy around!

2:50 pm

haha!

3:00 pm

well, that confirms it.....you can find ANYTHING on the internet!

3:01 pm

woot!

4:30 pm

HI Peri

4:31 pm

hey Molly

4:31 pm

have not seen ( Iknow it is in the grid) hurshy here in a long time

4:32 pm

I've seen her a few times, not too frequently.

4:32 pm

wondering if all is ok with her

4:33 pm

Hope so

4:41 pm

A lot of people are not chatting as much as they used to.

4:41 pm

I know, did something happen?

4:41 pm

I miss Haz and hurshy and Atalante

4:42 pm

Not sure. I wonder if certain "trends" in the chat are bothersome to some. I know when certain things here start bothering me, I tend to chat less.

4:43 pm

me too, I just block the chat. I have never been a big talker here but do pop in now and then

4:43 pm

some people just talk on and on

4:44 pm

And on and on and on. I play with chat blocked a lot too.

4:44 pm

but I do miss Atalante talking about dh

4:45 pm

I miss Haz's clever clues. : )

4:45 pm

bet we are on the same wave lenght, Molly

4:45 pm

4:49 pm

4:50 pm

Molly are you done?

4:50 pm

Nope

4:50 pm

have not seen FM in a very long time either

4:51 pm

I rarely finish on work day Peri. And I haven't seen FM around either.

4:51 pm

Or work days

4:51 pm

I really do like my balloon, think I will keep it for a while

4:51 pm

ok, Molly takining a break, cu later

4:52 pm

The kid in me loves balloons.

4:52 pm

:)

4:52 pm

Later Peri

hi all, finished top row and right column, woot

oops, gotta run, poink!

5:13 pm

Drive by posting

6:00 pm

hi babble friends!

6:01 pm

hello MPitt

6:01 pm

Bugs...long time no see!

6:01 pm

Yes, sorry about that. Things have been very stressful lately so some days I avoid Babble because it can feel like another duty.

6:02 pm

I like it better when it is a way to destress

6:02 pm

yes I know what you mean

6:03 pm

you have some good advice in your icon. Are things settling down for you now or are you just at the beginning

6:05 pm

Well we have settled into our new normal...dh has two cycles of chemo left and appt with radiologist on 10/31 to plan full brain radiation...I hope this is the beginning...

6:05 pm

Hi Bugs, Hi MPitt

6:05 pm

hi molly

6:05 pm

the beginning of the cure for sure!

6:05 pm

I'm holding positive thoughts for your husband MPitt

6:06 pm

hi Molly. are you still running past your computer? I imagined you doing laps

6:06 pm

well...not really any cure but we are hoping for some longevity with quality...50% of people make it 10-13 months....

6:07 pm

The drive by posting thing was a comment on Gwen Bugs. : )

6:08 pm

he went in hospital 5/20 received final diagnosis on 6/10

6:08 pm

oh mpit, i'm sorry. hoping for the best for you

6:08 pm

Here is to longevity with quality and even more than you are cautiously expecting.

6:09 pm

ty dorens, molly and bugs...all kindness welcome...

6:09 pm

and yes molly (having read back in chog) you are absolutely right about trends in the chog driving some oldtimers away. But change is inevitable, isn't it?

6:09 pm

I worked with Hospice MPitt and I have lots of stories of people who had great times during the longevity. I wish all the best for both of you

6:10 pm

I'll dring to that molly!

6:10 pm

i'm definitely chatting less (and i'll raise my glass to molly's toast as well)

6:10 pm

oops...*drink*...looks like I already started LOL

6:10 pm

I promise to keep my mouth shut..

6:11 pm

oh no, please don't - that would be dreadful

6:11 pm

ru...................

6:11 pm

how goes it ru?

6:11 pm

hey ruru. I wondered how many of us were afraid to pipe up in case we were the offenders. ;)

6:11 pm

hi mp.. i'm sorry to read your news..

6:11 pm

who will keep us laughing ru?????

6:12 pm

I certainly blab too much around here

6:12 pm

oh come on bug you know you've never been offensive in anyway

6:12 pm

thanks ru....we are appreciating every day

6:12 pm

I am very good at self-doubt Dorens but thanks for that.

6:12 pm

nor you, ru (said with a certain irony???)

6:13 pm

ouch

6:13 pm

I like ruru's puns. Phooey to those who might not

6:13 pm

Ru, on my honor as a tainted woman, you do NOT blab too much. Dorens, I guess you are right about change. It just bugs me when a friendly group gets "factioned" by well...certain things.

6:15 pm

I need break. see you later

6:15 pm

M9 and I were mercilously punning last night.. Dart chimed in..I'm certain we ran off a few people

6:16 pm

I have been playing babble and enjoying the chog as a lurker for a little over a year. When it is all long time players the chog is delightful and very friendly. Lately there has definitely been a different tenor at times.

6:16 pm

ru has never offended me in any way shape or form. just going on record there.

6:16 pm

I think the oldtimers would prefer having chat to themselves.........but times do change.

6:17 pm

frankly, I like it all. I just hope no one asks me to stay away.

6:18 pm

I will second the chat changing...it got a bit dicey...and I didn't like that...I like the friendly chat and some got too verbose recently and etc...

6:18 pm

i disagree snags... think the oldtimers were very welcoming to all newbies (which I was myself 5 years ago or so). But I think fuzzy is right. THere are some who seem to monopolize the chat. I'm sure they don't do it on purpose. I'm sure I do it once in a while, ru once in a while, and others, but there is a different tone to some

6:19 pm

Right on the money Dorens!!!!

6:19 pm

Oh I don't think the old timers would prefer to have chat to themselves. I think, just a guess, that they would prefer certain elements of "chat etiquette" that are now ignored. Like don't just blurt out a clue when no one has asked.

6:19 pm

you are correct Dorens, they were very welcoming to me.

6:19 pm

Yeah Molly!

6:20 pm

When I first started playing everyone was so helpful in explaining all the ins and outs of things. I felt completely embraced by the entire community.

6:20 pm

the chat used to be very funny too. crazy silly and light

6:20 pm

Now that's the babbleland I know and love!

6:20 pm

If someone asks for a clue, and I don't have that word, I have the option of turning chat off and finding the word myself. If people just blurt them out, it kind of ruins the fun for me.

6:20 pm

so how do we get that back?

6:21 pm

My dad used to tell us "ignore ignorance it will go away"...

6:21 pm

hmmmmm

6:22 pm

he was a very wise man!

6:22 pm

how about everyone stops talking for several days until the old-timers come back and they think they have it for themselves again..we'll be lying in wait for them..lol

6:22 pm

hahaha

6:22 pm

ROFL

6:23 pm

we could hide out and later jump out and yell BOO!!

6:23 pm

ooooo good one snags!

6:23 pm

exactly.. snags... and we have the perfect holiday for that

6:23 pm

it would be boo-tiful!

6:24 pm

:)

6:24 pm

well, I am in.

6:24 pm

*<:o)

6:24 pm

the folks who can't keep quiet are probably the ones who need to the most

6:24 pm

cute P

6:25 pm

How do we get that back? I don't know Dorens. I am noticing a trend though. People using the words "too verbose", "monopolizing chat", etc. It's nicer when chat is a friendly back and forth and not the "all about me" show.

6:25 pm

it precisely the "all about me" shows that bother me the most

define "oldtimers"..... I assume you mean the long time and original players, not referring to age :-) I am "sorta old", have never been offended by ruru, EVER.... but I do agree with Dorens, re: monopolizing of chat and not always uplifting. I know there is a bond here, and everyone is very supportive of those who have problems

6:27 pm

well said diane

6:27 pm

oldtimers to me is anyone who's been on longer than me. and that is a bit over 5 years

6:28 pm

One of the things I love most about the chog is the support everyone gives each other.

6:29 pm

hah. i never knew i was an oldtimer.

6:29 pm

I think the best thing about the chog are peoples names like fuzzybunny, scrabs, etc..

6:29 pm

wonders if that makes doren an old-timer?

I love to chat with the best of them, but I withdraw when things get "that" way. AND.... I have a long ay to go to be a chat oldtimer.... just one year on here for me ! I must love it.... I'm back here EVERY day !!

6:30 pm

let's not forget "ruru!"

6:30 pm

you're not brid, I joined before you, so you're still a newbie to me. (my original name was fuzzybrain, but I forgot the password)

6:30 pm

(((Diane))) I think of you as well seasoned, never "old". : )

hence your nick, hey Dorens ? ;-)

6:31 pm

yes fuzzy...that is what I like...everyone here has always been so nice to me and supportive of one another...

6:31 pm

I am always surprised when someone who I think is a long time babbler turns out to have only been playing for a year or so. It does not take long to fit in.

thanks Molly ! I can be a little "spicy" too ...lol. We learn many things along the way :-)

6:32 pm

spice is nice

6:32 pm

How funny! Fuzzybrain and you forgot the password. Somehow there is a connection there!

6:32 pm

i played for awhile before i went pro.

6:32 pm

it probably rounds me out to 7 years.

6:33 pm

oh a definite connection... i did choose the name for a reason. i'm not stupid, but there are a lot of cobwebs there

6:33 pm

ahh! so brid IS an oldtimer (by my definition)

6:33 pm

me too brid, I left for about 2 years then came back.

6:34 pm

I've only been here since Nov 2009 so I guess I'm a mid-timer? LOL

6:34 pm

i really liked the slower pace after the freneticness of other word games.

6:35 pm

hey, my definition doesn't have to be THE definition. (and note that by my calculations, I am neither an old-timer nor a mid-timer, i am on the fence)

Only once have I been labelled a "prude" in my chat rooms. It was by the ones using the very foul language in a room where families played, including younger children. These players were regulars too, not just trouble makers .

6:36 pm

there have been a few expletives flying around here lately

6:37 pm

oh really?

6:38 pm

I haven't got much time to babble lately so I missed the flying......

6:39 pm

need to find some words.... back later.....

6:48 pm

6:51 pm

dejprm dejprt

6:52 pm

gee, and here I thought it was a joke - sorry, kap!!

???????????

It was a joke. I'm so confused. If this chat is as weird as it was last night, I need some medication.

Just to get through it.

6:53 pm

what was last night?

6:53 pm

I was trying to make a (very) bad pun about the di5/20. oh well :-)

So was I.

6:54 pm

6:58 pm

6:58 pm

dSns des\ne

6:59 pm

(hopefully your imagination is purer than mine and you will have no idea what I was thinking).

Don't even look in that direction.

7:00 pm

oh boy.. we might have been spared there

7:00 pm

Or should I have said Hoho boy ...

Just stop it!

Self-control!

7:02 pm

Hello Babblers, babbling on again, I see.

7:33 pm

7:33 pm

I'm Not Lisa = Jessie Colter

7:34 pm

It was a hit in the 70's.

7:34 pm

Wht, I don't know if Faith Hill sings "I'm not Lisa", but Jessie Colter (Waylon Jennings' wife) did.

7:34 pm

hmmm i missed that song in the 70s

7:35 pm

*quick post* the funniest post ever, jmc .. "i'm not beulah" (you kill me!)

7:35 pm

i was into solid gold electric guitar in the 70,s

7:35 pm

so a mae west fan welki?

7:36 pm

I'm not Beulah, my name is Maybelle, Beulah left here, on the bus

7:36 pm

Part of why it was memorable was that my boss at the time was dating his bosses secretary, who was named Julie.

7:36 pm

haha

7:39 pm

mustang sally..arowwwwww..guesyou better slowthatmustang dowwwwn,,,,

7:42 pm

7:45 pm

haha peach

7:46 pm

I knew it Peach. I just knew it. : )

7:46 pm

never date yerboss,ifthings gosour,notonly are you out or a relationship,you are out of a job

7:47 pm

depends on the boss

7:47 pm

ny husband dated the president of his company. . .me!

7:48 pm

While "I'm Not Lisa" is not a memorable song, many women embraced it who have been called "the wrong name at the wrong time"

7:48 pm

Well, actually, it depended on the boss's wife...she tried to poison me.

7:48 pm

goodness! its peyton place

7:48 pm

Good Lord Peach. That is the stuff soaps are made of.

7:49 pm

and the men who embraced them call them the wrong name at the wrong time

7:49 pm

ahh wass wondering bout thislisa song..but nowi get the gist

7:50 pm

It just happened that she was drunker than I and I saw the stuff floating in my scotch and water.

7:50 pm

3-8 inches of snow about to hit us! Merry Christmas lol

7:50 pm

Hi Cos.

7:50 pm

hi molly

7:51 pm

70 degrees all day and now we'r egonna get hit with a massive snow storm.. then back to 70 for the weekend ... gotta love colorado

7:51 pm

Cos, how did you like "Once Upon A Time"? I thought it was pretty cool.

7:51 pm

That is just wrong, cos.

7:51 pm

i really like Once

7:51 pm

oh molly i have been waiting to find u onhere to ask u the same thing! i absolutely loved it!

7:51 pm

hi cosd and wow

7:51 pm

i really like Once

7:52 pm

hi everyone :)

7:52 pm

I don't drink at all any more.....only because it makes my heart beat really fast. I am really pitiful about it....my daughter kept scotch at the house and I would sneak around any open the bottle and just sit there and smell it. Poor Me

7:52 pm

is that the tv show?

7:52 pm

it's like the graphic novel series i read Fables

7:52 pm

theres nothing like once on tv.. its great.. excited for friday's premiere of Grimm as well

7:52 pm

Very creative writing. I like that in a show.l

7:52 pm

yes jmc the new snow white tv show

7:53 pm

i want to see that but i miss so much tv with the school stuff i will have to watch it on hulu

7:53 pm

having fun guessing which characters are which on the show

7:53 pm

next sunday's episode will have a newspaper reporter who writes for the town paper "The Mirror" but the reporter is actually the magic mirror lol...

7:53 pm

i saw it on a commercial so i didnt read a spoiler

7:54 pm

soem characters are obvious i think.. like granny and the inn keeper's granddaughter

7:54 pm

I love Hulu. I never catch anything live.

7:54 pm

i have watched a few movies on it too

7:54 pm

i just signed up for hulu plus

7:55 pm

I have Hulu Plus, there are a few better movies with that, but not many.

7:55 pm

but the show i really want probably wasn't made--the third episode of the new version of sherlock

7:55 pm

a lot more shows are captioned so its beneficial and cheaper than netflix

7:55 pm

i like captioning

7:56 pm

Cos, I meant to mention the caption thing to you when we talked about Hulu Plus before. Amazon Unbox needs to join us in our century. None of their stuff is captioned.

7:56 pm

without captioning id never be able to watch tv lol

7:56 pm

i know cosd

7:56 pm

but i still watch it even though hubby no longer around to ne** it

7:57 pm

in 2012 a new law takes effect.. all web videos/shwos must have captioning

7:57 pm

well, it is time for me to be off. Happy Babbling Babblers.

7:57 pm

so CNN.com videos, etc will have to provide that. it passed Congress with like 10 nays so pretty cool.

7:57 pm

it

7:58 pm

jmc -- ryan cannot watch tv without captioning anymore.. eh doesnt need it but he says it isnt the same without it

7:58 pm

it's ridiculous since under ADA they should be already

7:58 pm

tell ryan i understand completely

7:58 pm

you miss things without it sometimes

7:58 pm

'Night Wht

7:58 pm

right... its a pain.. netflix originally had said it was IMPOSSIBLE for them to caption streaming movies...

7:58 pm

and other times is is just funny

7:58 pm

bye wht

7:59 pm

then hulu did it.. and the national ass. of the deaf sued netflix and netflix backed down and is now in the process of captioning it all..

7:59 pm

there was an episode of golden girls where they forgot to clean up blanche's script for the captions

7:59 pm

i think i remember that one...

8:00 pm

My youngest used to watch kids shows with captioning on. It helped him learn how to read.

8:00 pm

another beneficial use for it

8:00 pm

oh i know we wrote jack kent cooke of the redskins and pointed out that he should provide captioning for the games considering how many deafies were in dc and he said it was impossible which was a lie

8:01 pm

i agree moll it has help some of the prelingual deaf students with their reading too

8:01 pm

Jack Kent Cooke was a miserable curmudgeon, God rest his soul.

8:01 pm

i just loved during the ada hearings the TV makers said it would be so expensive to install CC in the TVs.... then tom harkin shot back that it would only cost them 1 penny each tv

8:01 pm

that is the nicest thing i have heard about him except that he was much nicer than snyder

8:02 pm

*googles jack kent cooke*

8:02 pm

yeah movie theaters said their customers would be bothered by the captioning and so handed out ear peices that never worked instead

8:02 pm

ahh ok now i know who he is

8:03 pm

:-)

8:03 pm

CC in movie theaters to the deaf is like marriage equality to the gay communitiy

8:03 pm

the ultimate goal.

8:03 pm

Snyder = The Little Tyrant. A spoiled brat in grown up skin.

8:03 pm

but in des moines, iowa a movie theater there (the carmike).. installed CCs.

8:04 pm

but deaf attendance is so low

8:04 pm

i am with you on that--i can never watch beauty and the beast again because that was the last movie we went to as a family and of course you cannot lip read cartoons

8:04 pm

its b/c they do it on only one screen and its usually a horrible movie

8:04 pm

it wouldn't be in dc and austin and frederick md and other such towns

8:04 pm

i only go to the movies if its something big to me.. like harry potter...

8:05 pm

i think frederick has one.. weekly and it's pretty well attended..

8:05 pm

well i just watch most movies online and then i can usually caption them

8:05 pm

chicago has one thats monthly and its well attended.. but they do major releases. not flops like iowa does

8:06 pm

i asked the theater owner if he would do a harry potter movie.. he said no because customers would complain about the words on screen.. ugh

8:07 pm

see at this point i would probably threaten to take them to court

8:07 pm

so they just played bond movie instead

8:07 pm

it is a public accommodation and therefore under the ADA

8:07 pm

i should have done that

8:07 pm

considering i was the vice president of the iowa assn. of the deaf then

8:07 pm

that is like saying that only providing interpreters for english and not math is the same

8:08 pm

no guts no glory cosd! haha

8:08 pm

lol i know..

8:08 pm

good comparision

8:09 pm

when the earbuds didn't work for my mother at the march of the penguins i threatened the movie theater and they gave me a free ticket

8:09 pm

fortunately you didn't really need to listen to that movie

8:10 pm

right but it was good they gave u a "refund of sorts

8:11 pm

since mother never made it to another movie i was less than impressed but yes it shows sort of minimal good faith

8:11 pm

a cash refund would be better

8:12 pm

yes

8:12 pm

blah dog needs out. bbl in a few

8:13 pm

I can't go to theaters any more..they are way too loud.. I get a headache from going

8:13 pm

bye cosd

8:13 pm

you could put in earplugs ru

8:13 pm

what's the point.. ?

8:14 pm

it would block enough so you wouldn't get the headache but you could still be able to he**

8:14 pm

I'd rather watch it in the comfort of my own home and control the volume.. they BLAST sound in our local theater..it's unbearable

8:15 pm

well i admit i see about one movie in the theater every other year these days

8:15 pm

I can't even hear the couple behind me having sex..lol

8:15 pm

haha

8:16 pm

I thought it was funny she was reaching for popcorn just a little too much..lol

8:16 pm

Ru, I'm with you on that. I can't stand how loud the movies are in theaters anymore.

8:17 pm

back.. the noise never bothers me O:)

8:17 pm

I don't go often molly.. but i did recently because I wanted to see this one movie right away.. but wow.. the noise was incredible

8:17 pm

haha cosd i am sure the dog still makes his wishes known

8:18 pm

oh you mean in the theater!

8:18 pm

oh i meant the noise in the movies lol.. the dog went potty already

8:18 pm

haha yes

8:18 pm

my mistake!

8:18 pm

if i ignored paco he'd go peepee in the kitchen lol

8:18 pm

The action movies are the worst. I swear I could feel my hair blowing back the last Die Hard movie I saw at the theater.

8:19 pm

i remember when jurassic park was such a huge deal with the sound effects and all

8:19 pm

now its nothing compared to whats out there

8:20 pm

i bet now you can feel the explosions cosd

8:20 pm

in like 10 years or so you'll be able to feel the water splash on your face or smell the smoke from a movie lol

8:21 pm

they have been saying that for a while cosd

8:21 pm

*Makes a mental note not to go see "Back Draft" in ten years*

8:21 pm

thats ridiculous. i dont want to get wet watchng a movie... unless it was a porn (bad joke)

evening all

9:48 pm

Started the grid an 4/8 when I got home. Gave up at 159 words (no way ne 4/4 fireworks). Here is a story of clues for my de 4/5 Babble friends who may ne 4/5 it.My cousin De4/5 introduced me to Babble and I am glad he did. I think this game is so ne4/4! I am aw4/9 by the babblers in here. It ce5/12s to amaze me how some babble sa4/4 list&can finish the grid in no time. There are several babblers here who are nice enough to do 4/5 on others with their clues. There are some grids that drive me absolutely insa4/4, but If it were not for clues, I wouldn't ea 4/4 as many points. Clues and the list enables me to babble with ea4/4. I ha4/5 the occasional troll that crawls out of a se5/18.Some he4/6 our warnings and some don't. I wish I could sw 4/8 them to pieces.However,the trolls won't stop me from babbling. Sh4/5!My husband is wa4/8ing for the laptop. He has wa 6/33 for awhile now. I sw 5/18 one day I'm going to tell hubby to do Farmville somewhere where the sun don't shine! My Babble sh5/18 is over. I hope you have se 4/4 more words with this story. I am going to go watch the ne 4/8. Then I am going to go re 5/10 my alarm & go to bed. Goodnight babblers!

9:48 pm

Excellent jmcnrick!

10:15 pm

mrp !!! had a good day I hope

10:15 pm

10:19 pm

AND i found out at the gym today i lost 10 pounds since august

10:19 pm

yes! i saw it, but didn't want to ask. things have been sort of up and down with your renos and i didn't want to touch a nerve

10:19 pm

of course that is probably because of stress but gift horse and all that

10:19 pm

you svelte vixen, you :)

10:20 pm

well other than they still haven't gotten my windows back open i am relatively happy with the reno now--i can see movement each day

10:20 pm

haha still over 200!

10:20 pm

10:21 pm

10:22 pm

so whats up in the snowy north welki

10:23 pm

10:23 pm

the guy in Oregon whom i tutor in Spanish. He's writing an analysis for his 319 class.

10:23 pm

10:24 pm

10:24 pm

10:26 pm

g'night welki

10:47 pm

hi, all -

10:48 pm

any medical types around?

10:48 pm

hey, sue :-)

10:48 pm

hi, une!

10:48 pm

Hello

10:49 pm

hi, pint!

10:49 pm

hi, une, sue, and pint

10:49 pm

hi, dc!

10:49 pm

nbt at 134 left

10:49 pm

so I have some potentially disquieting news...

10:50 pm

oh?

10:50 pm

hey, seain :-)

10:50 pm

cute icon, une :)

10:50 pm

I had radiation to my neck when I was a tiny infant (before they knew the stuff was dangerous)

10:50 pm

:-D

10:50 pm

had a lump on my neck burned off with X-rays

10:51 pm

eek

10:51 pm

so I have been having regular ultrasounds of my thyroid, which has had nodules for a while

10:51 pm

the latest one apparently looks, well, like my doctor wants me to see the ENT guy

10:51 pm

oh . . .

10:52 pm

anybody have a clue as to what this means: Interval enlargement of the complex cystic and solid lesion within the right lobe of thyroid gland is noted.

10:52 pm

jeez, not a clue, sue . . .

10:53 pm

doesn't sound great but I don't know exactly how much to worry. Sigh.

10:53 pm

It means you have an abnormal area of tissue (lesion) composed of mixed solid and fluid-filled pockets (cysts), which is larger now than it was at your last ultrasound

10:53 pm

ah, thx, jes. So how much should I worry?

10:53 pm

it doesn't necessarily mean malignant, but an enlarging lesion is always something to be aware of and follow up on.

10:53 pm

it doesn't necessarily mean malignant, but an enlarging lesion is always something to be aware of and follow up on.

10:54 pm

sorry for double post

10:54 pm

no problem, I need help getting it through my head anyway

10:54 pm

ty, jes for the explanation

10:54 pm

so I should be concerned but not panic :-)

10:55 pm

i don't know enough about humans to know; i do know that thyroid cancer is probably the way to go if you can pick one, since you can pretty easily and specifically do in thyroid cells thanks to their selective iodine uptake

10:55 pm

yes, I've read up on it before. Costs you your thyroid but that can be dealt with.

10:56 pm

ironically, the easiest way to knock out a thyroid tumor is radiation, using radioactive iodine

10:56 pm

and thyroid supplements are cheap, as far as medications go.

10:57 pm

Yes, I know that too - I-131, I presume, has a half-life of 8 days if I recall properly

10:57 pm

yup

10:57 pm

*sigh*

10:59 pm

ah well. Sounds like the worst possible news isn't necessarily all that bad, and maybe it won't be malignant at all.

11:00 pm

anyway, thanks, jes! I am glad you are here!

11:00 pm

could definitely be worse, though i'm sure it's not terribly fun

11:01 pm

probably the worrying is the worst part.

11:01 pm

sure, any time. really, there should have been an explanation along with the results! drives me crazy when doctors just hand out lab results and a prescription and send people off with no idea what just happened or what it means.

11:02 pm

on the other hand, i have several steady clients now, because some other doctor did that to them, and i bothered to explain the other doctor's results to them :D

11:03 pm

it may not be indeed, sue. Chin up, regardless, best you can.

11:03 pm

well, it was a late-night email from my regular doc saying I should make an appointment with the ENT guy. I'm just happy I didn't have to wait two days to get the results - the ultrasound was this afternoon!

11:04 pm

and if I ever move to the Back of Beyond you can definitely take care of my cats and dog, jes!

11:05 pm

heh :) well, be forewarned that if you move here, i'll be periodically trying to pawn new cats and dogs off on you! i have a kitten and a jack russell terrier today...

11:07 pm

awww - unfortunately one of my cats is psychotic and hates everybody and everything; the other one is pretty laid back. The dog is cool with everybody except other dogs. We have a complicated household :-)

11:07 pm

sounds like a balancing act

11:08 pm

cat - juggling. .I wouldn't recommend it

11:08 pm

fortunately the psychotic cat is tiny, both cats are declawed (not by me, we rescued them that way) and the dog is large (70 pounds). So it works but is often amusing.

11:08 pm

hey all. just need to find my last word.

11:08 pm

hi, m9!

11:09 pm

depends on the cat, ruru... i've got one that seems to think it's amusing to be twirled and tossed around. she keeps coming back, anyway.

11:09 pm

I have friends with all kinds of thyroid issues..uu.. they have lots of options to fix you.. it can be a lot of benign things as well

11:09 pm

fw

11:10 pm

yeah mmmers

11:10 pm

we have a cat that likes very rough handling. And another that just kind of goes limp when you pick her up.

11:10 pm

true, ruru, and I am trying not to worry about it too much until I know more. Thanks.

11:11 pm

absolutely.. it can be a lot of bothersome things but nothing dangerous

11:11 pm

I hate waiting for results

11:11 pm

me too.

11:11 pm

mrs ru does too

11:11 pm

she had her mammogram recently and they took forever to get her the results

11:12 pm

usually when it takes forever it's good news. When I saw that I had an email from my doctor this evening, when the ultrasound was this afternoon, I figured something was up.

11:13 pm

but even so, waiting is a bi***.

11:13 pm

oh.. hang in there sue.. it will be okay

11:13 pm

thx, ruru, I do appreciate you all!!!

11:13 pm

yay m9!

11:14 pm

<---- tape delayed jes reaction

11:14 pm

yay, m9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry I missed your fireworks, was too busy wallowing!!

11:14 pm

<----tape delayed UU reaction

11:15 pm

Yes, looks good... except when you post, can you post only to your circles and extended circles in future... not 'public'? It's just that if your posts are public, some of us can never comment on them.

11:59 pm

snow? is that the white stuff that's cold?

Just to circles is best, unless it's an important link/article to share... those I post to 'extended circles'.

11:59 pm

ahhh okay neil i can do that

11:59 pm

lol blue yes.. 3-6 inches overnight

Thanks. :)
