1:57 am

how did the inspection go?

top notch; only one small issue - the door into the basement opens the wrong way... hopefully closing on 3/23

1:58 am

hopefully it will close every day :)

lol we did ask for radon test (will be done Sat), and a water test (since there is a well)

1:59 am

how is the door supposed to open....does it open and conflict with another door?

thot we might as well do those while we are spending all this money :)

supposedly it should open into a hallway, rather than open towards the basement (so if someone is coming up the stairs they wouldn't get cracked with the door)... we had noticed that when we saw the house the first time - we think they did it so it didn't open into the great room and take up space... oh, and there is one stain in one of the tubs (someone used the wrong cleaner and it left a turquoise stain)

he said everything else looked great

2:04 am

ok...thought maybe it swung from right to left instead of left to right or something like that

no, just opened in instead of pulling it toward you...

2:05 am

don't think i've ever seen that before

we have seen it in a couple of places... he said he thinks it was a cosmetic choice...

in other properties

I hope everything falls in place quickly, so we can list ours on 4/1

fingers crossed

how's your weather?

2:08 am

high of 70 thurs...51 fcst for fri....was nice for golf tthurs

2:08 am

was just checking yours to see if severe wx was mentioned

what's coming our way?

2:11 am

looks like your hi on thu was about 37 with winds dropping off as day went on...

2:11 am

Some thunder is also possible. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 32. West wind between 15 and 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%.

2:12 am

no wonder my hip is hurting... we'll probably end up with a blizzard in March or April

2:14 am

can anyone please clue me on the fa10

2:14 am

plural of being very quick

2:14 am

fastest

2:14 am

wrong box sorry

2:15 am

hi, folks! Dee, I've been debating installing a door at the top of the stairs (to our upstairs), and we've had a big debate going on about which way it should open. I think if it opens onto the stairs the knob will be too high for anyone going up to comfortably reach, then have to back down for door clearance... sounds sort of like your situation?

2:16 am

hi rbud

2:16 am

but our daughter doesn't think there's room for it to go the other way.

2:17 am

still thinking on it - but we need the door, tired of hearing what they're watching on tv and such up there. :P

2:17 am

think volley is right...probably a safety is5 if you go in4 the stairwell

exactly ... according to the inspector, the door should open into the room, not into the stairway

2:19 am

they complain that too much heat goes up there, hoping to solve some of that with another door, too.

2:20 am

they have windows open in the winter! heat bill goes up...

sounds like it will be a great benefit

2:23 am

it's an old house, and we have just one heat source, which amazingly enough does a great job. No ducts or vents to close, you know. One of those old Warm Morning heaters, with a stovepipe - hard to believe it works so well. The heat goes right up the stairs, which was okay when they were little, but now they complain.

2:24 am

we just had it reconditioned and the valves rebuilt, the guy who did it said he never sees them anymore, and it was like new.

sounds like great news

2:25 am

tested for carbon monoxide, no problem. I like the view of the flames, kind of nice. The cats and dog adore it in the winter. :)

2:26 am

but we've thought a lot about putting in a real furnace. no good place for it.

cozy

2:27 am

yes, it is. but very dry heat, have to run a good humidifier.

2:28 am

Anyway, I'm going to work on the door situation come spring. As soon as I get done with the baseboard and trim in the "new" room downstairs.

we always have a humidifier in the winter and we have electric forced air

2:29 am

love our humidifier, though haven't needed it so much this winter, really. such an odd winter.

2:29 am

I do have a nice little space heater for back here in my "cave", for the really nippy night.

same here, also... really bizarre

2:30 am

hope this isn't a trend, we'll be semitropical if it keeps up, lol!

I agree... plus the bugs and viruses don't get killed...

2:32 am

the mice are pretty bad this year, too, the cats are busy!

2:32 am

they get at least one a day or so.

I detest mice

2:33 am

me, too. I have traps, too, but yuck!

2:33 am

have one drawer I can't keep them out of. had to quit putting anything in it except a trap.

2:34 am

the perils of an ancient house.

2:35 am

I'm excited for you and your new place, love reading about it all.

you are right about that... they can slip through tiny places

ty rb... feel like I can't get too excited until ours sells, but it was wonderful sitting in my "living-room-to-be" today LOL

2:37 am

:) got it all mentally arranged?

too funny.... mentally and I even made some notes for furniture and artwork... lol

2:39 am

will your furniture fit? or will you need more? (love furniture shopping!)

Eventually I would like new office furniture, new furniture for the hearth room, and a new mattress for one of the guest rooms, but otherwise, our furniture fits as if it were built for us...

Actually, that was really weird - walking in and knowing exactly where pieces should be...

2:43 am

oooh, a hearth room! fireplace, then? how nice.

2:43 am

meant to be! so nice for you.

2:44 am

Morning all, is there a list anywhere yet?

in my profile flask

well, I need to get going.. have a few more things I need to do before I lay down. Hugs to all!!! *Poofing*

2:45 am

Oh thankyou Dee.....x

yqw!

2:47 am

nite, Dee, and thanks!

2:49 am

morning all

2:50 am

could someone give me another clue for the fa10 please

2:51 am

anyone else awake

2:51 am

hi, Button - fa8 is the condition of being quick - has the loch ne4 monster at the end, and plural for the 10

2:52 am

silly words...both

2:53 am

hi, rbud and rolin

2:54 am

wondering if it has to do with castles... medieval... ah, yes it does.

2:54 am

hmmm..ok... im a sucker for medieval castles..

2:54 am

hi button

2:54 am

got the 10..thanks rbud

2:54 am

"a stronghold; fortress"

2:55 am

thought I'd read it used for that sort of thing.

2:55 am

otherwise, yes, pretty silly, lol!

2:57 am

good morning

2:57 am

SPRING

2:57 am

spent an hour or two looking through someone's phot blog earlier, lots of Lord of the Rings and fairies pictures, a good word for some of that! :)

2:58 am

SPRING!!

2:58 am

*photo

2:58 am

hi, ruby, I'm way ready for it!

2:58 am

whoops, didn't mean to say it twice!

2:59 am

but with emphasis the 2nd time, heehee!

2:59 am

it is still chilly in the morning, but the bulbs are all starting

2:59 am

I love this time of year

3:00 am

I need to check mine, bet they're popping up.

3:01 am

what do you have in your garden, besides roses, of course?

3:02 am

i am constantly checking the roadside trees for bursting leaf buds..but nithing yet

3:02 am

tulips, mostly

3:02 am

i have lots of tulips up this year....

3:02 am

some gladiolis (sp?)

3:02 am

what colors for the tulips?

3:03 am

I only planted glads once, but they never came up. Must have planted them upside-down

3:03 am

can always tell here, the redbuds in the woods turn a lovely shade of purple, none of that yet.

3:03 am

no trees started here, either

3:03 am

oh, mostly red, yellow, and some that are both.

3:04 am

i love the anticipation of this time of year

3:04 am

what color are your tulips, rolin?

3:04 am

ant parrot tulips?

3:04 am

any*

3:05 am

i have the standard red and yellow...but some of those colours have beautiful black insets...and i have the deepest deepest purple that is almost black

3:05 am

don't think so, just yellow with red tips or edges, however you'd describe it.

3:06 am

<--loves tulips

3:06 am

ruby have you been to instanbul during tulip season?

3:07 am

a lot of mine are low-budget leftovers, I bought them after Easter one year with the petals gone already at the local WalMart for about 25 cents each, planted them and forgot about them, and they happily come up like crazy every year.

3:07 am

no, never been to Turkey. Once in Pella, Iowa, for tulip festival

3:07 am

what did you do in Istanbul, Rolin?

3:07 am

I know Pella, it's amazing, isn't it?

3:08 am

well i was so surprised one easter we were there..and its what i think of the archetypical pic of holland would be... all the street sides are carpetted with tulips...absolutely magnificent

3:08 am

you're kidding! It is full of people of Dutch descent

3:08 am

just went over for a weeks break

3:09 am

great idea for a trip!

3:09 am

I grew up in North Missouri, (just below Iowa) Pella is famous.

3:09 am

istanbul is great fun

3:09 am

I used to sell them special glass

3:10 am

ooops..need to go..drs appt...will bbl..

3:10 am

in Pella, ruby?

3:10 am

both husbands (not at same time) have been to Turkey, but not me

3:10 am

later, then, rolin!

3:11 am

glass to Pella, husbands to Turkey hahah

3:13 am

what was the glass for?

3:14 am

it was low-e glass for their windows

3:14 am

back in the 80's

3:15 am

oh, okay, I thought maybe vases, lol!

3:15 am

no, industrial stuff, not pretty!!!!

3:16 am

I thought I was going like gangbusters, but only have 68 words!

3:16 am

did you live in the States then? (you said you'd been to Pella) or just a visit?

3:17 am

I was living in Miami and Pella was my biggest customer

3:17 am

the glass came from Belgium

3:17 am

I'm perturbed that I have 114, but still no bottom row S.

3:18 am

for greenhouses, maybe? I bet they have some, I don't recall. or was it for houses/businesses?

3:18 am

hmm, looking, too

3:19 am

this was for residences, but the same glass was used in Hollance for greenhouses. Smart call, rbud!!!!

3:19 am

Holland*

3:20 am

I am about to scream; my housekeeper is vacuuming around me and she keeps dropping the metal part! aaarghhhh

3:20 am

I come down here to escape from noise and husband

3:21 am

well, she'll hopefully be done soon!

3:22 am

she's done! drivbes me crazy

3:22 am

off with her head! ;p

3:22 am

she's nice but very clumsy and no****

3:23 am

if you saw this house, you'd see why I need somebody

3:23 am

I must sound obnoxious, sorry

3:23 am

you probably think I give the dogs evian lol

3:24 am

I could sure use a housekeeper here, sigh... but I'd have to clean before she came!

3:24 am

I am not strong enough to keep this place clean, especially with two big, hairy dogs

3:24 am

no, not thinking that, haha!

3:26 am

oh, boy I hear you there. even just our little black dog seems to leave hair everywhere.

3:26 am

you can't imagine what it's like

3:26 am

don't see how she's not bald!

3:26 am

plus NOBODY wipes feet

3:27 am

ooh, pet peeve of mine, too!

3:27 am

I'll bet she likes white clothes

3:27 am

what kind of dog?

3:27 am

since I couldn't teach my husband, I certainly couldn't train the dogs!

3:27 am

just a little rat terrier mutt. she's getting old... starting to be pretty blind.

3:28 am

how old is she? and her name?

3:28 am

<-- loves dogs

3:29 am

she's maybe 12 or more, we're not sure, she was a rescue. Her name is Roxie.

3:29 am

our first dog was Rosie

3:30 am

chows don't live to be old :(

3:30 am

I found her abandoned at a house in the country while I was driving the taxicab around here.

3:30 am

she must adore you!

3:30 am

brought her home and listened to Hubby complain for a while, but now they get along.

3:31 am

oh, yes, glued to me everywhere I go in the house.

3:32 am

she was already spayed when I found her, so who knows how old or if she's ever had pups, no idea.

3:32 am

we never had Max neutered, but he's not very interested

3:32 am

and is very passive

3:33 am

both dogs go 10-12 hrs at night without going out

3:33 am

91!

3:34 am

but still many unblanked boxes

3:34 am

oh, Roxie's getting a bit bad in that area, lots of going out. and the occasional incontinent episode while deeply sleeping. She's on a pill for water retention, she bloats up and coughs without them.

3:35 am

my rosie, who was a great beauty who died young, used to try to pee on newpaper (as an adult), but would put her front paws on the paper and pee on the floor

3:36 am

she may not last much longer, but I'm resigned to the possibility. she's very lively, but now runs into stuff, hard to watch. misses the couch sometimes when jumping up.

3:36 am

haha, dogs are funny!

3:37 am

that's why we always have two, now, it is too sad when they go!

3:37 am

Ruby is 9 and Max, 8

3:38 am

We actually have four, two big boys (mutts) outside, and our daughter keeps her other one upstairs. Roxie rules the house, and is tiny compared to all the rest.

3:38 am

The big ones are all hers, really, ones she got before she moved back in.

3:39 am

that sounds like a very lively household!

3:41 am

the two cats also keep us entertained, they mock-fight all the time, hubby loves it. one is declawed, one isn't, but he fights fair. Lots of yowling and ears laid back, tails swishing, then suddenly a roll around together, then they stop and start over.

3:42 am

that is so cute; you don't need a television

3:42 am

both neutered males, they've got nothing much else to do. the declawed one is the better mouser, go figure.

3:44 am

sometimes Roxie takes offense at their fighting, and jumps right in the middle, yapping at both of them. pretty funny.

3:44 am

she must be smaller than the cats.....

3:45 am

I think so, she's about 15 lb, they are more like 18 and 20 lbs.

3:45 am

the dogs weigh about 75

3:45 am

and all muscle

3:45 am

Ruby is like a small truck

3:46 am

the one in your picture, which one is that? beautiful dog.

3:46 am

that is autistic Max, Ruby is shaded blonde

3:46 am

issue

3:47 am

oops, I guess that means I have to stop.....bad me!

3:47 am

rats, have that one already!

3:47 am

now we're both in the pb! hahah

3:47 am

pl it...lol

3:47 am

( I looked quick, haha!) Have slowed way down, not wanting to bother with the list yet.

3:48 am

hello dizgrannie

3:48 am

got that, too, diz, can pl about anything tonight, lol, so many S's!

3:48 am

hello Ruby, sneaking in for a bit.

3:48 am

I have to go and face te*** husband who is in a foul mood today

3:49 am

dreading it.....

3:49 am

(still not that bottom S, though!)

3:50 am

me, either, or several others (y, o's, another s). Maybe later

3:50 am

sorry for you, ruby. got one myself, not happy most days, crab, crab... glad when he's asleep.

3:50 am

he is so unhappy, not feeling well, but I'm the only one he can take it out on....

3:50 am

Oh, the Y is ye6, more than one opposite of no.

3:51 am

at least he never comes in the studio

3:51 am

ooh, ty, for the y

3:51 am

and the O I have is oy4, same opposite of no clue, haha.

3:52 am

mine never comes back here, either - my hideaway, yay!

3:52 am

110 words, yay!

3:52 am

it's true, we all need a private place

3:52 am

he has a big shop in the yard, I have my "cave".

3:53 am

I think we'd go crazy in a smaller place!

3:53 am

I know I would - though maybe not if the kids would move out!

3:54 am

half at last and going up to face the music!

3:54 am

but no dancing.....

3:54 am

good luck! (((hugs)))

3:54 am

nice "talking " with you rbud! and bye dizgrannie, if whe's still here

3:54 am

my puter room was my private place until we hooked up another puter for the g/kids, now hubby comes in and plays the games on FB grrr why did I set him up with a FB account...silly me

3:55 am

{{grannie}}

3:55 am

oh, my, diz, need to find another place for the 2nd one?

3:55 am

yes, with a WiFi connection, maybe?

3:55 am

yea rbud...out the back...LOL

3:56 am

in the garage?

3:56 am

haha! how about a nice laptop, he can go out in the iving room with it?

3:56 am

yes Ruby

3:56 am

*gone"

3:57 am

mine would probably get more into the puters if he could have it in his recliner with him, I'm sure.

3:57 am

but I must admit, he is pretty good when he is in here, its just that he asks 'what?' when I laugh at comments either here or on FB.

3:59 am

I set one up in the next room for our kids, they don't get to be on mine. Too close, our daughter is constantly giggling and wanting to read or show me something.

3:59 am

she's a silly girl for a 24-yr-old.

4:01 am

DARN that bottom S, still nothing.

4:01 am

Me neither

4:01 am

our 11 yr old g/dtr is really good with the puter....the only things she asks is if she can go into a certain 'site'

4:02 am

bottom S 7...movie s******

4:02 am

or workout s******

6:08 am

morning all!

6:08 am

Hi Sue

6:08 am

hi, scrabs!

6:08 am

nina

6:08 am

Nina, Pinto and Santa Maria.....

6:08 am

she's not here, scrabs :-)

6:09 am

Darn, Sue.

6:09 am

my dog is in the grid, though..

6:10 am

First 2 letters?

6:10 am

se4/4

6:10 am

not a very doggy name

6:11 am

Spanish six?

6:11 am

no, Italian evening

6:12 am

Aha.

6:12 am

What breed?

6:13 am

labradoodle (black lab/standard poodle mix)

6:14 am

There are lots of Labradoodles around.

6:14 am

BRB, must grab breakfast.

6:14 am

she is very sweet - a rescue

6:15 am

see you later!

6:16 am

Back.

6:16 am

wow, that was quick!

6:17 am

I didn't eat yet, I have yogurt.

6:18 am

ah.

6:19 am

I usually have Fridays off but I am working today.

6:20 am

MWF are my busy days this semester.

6:20 am

Do you teach labs too?

6:21 am

I supervise the TAs but don't teach the labs myself (which is good, there are eight 3-hour lab sections every week!)

6:21 am

Good.

6:21 am

I am teaching three sections of one course (second semester of calculus-based physics for engineers) plus an honors seminar in the physics of sports

6:22 am

the sports physics one I am pretty much making up as I go along, but it is a lot of fun.

6:23 am

That's a class I would enjoy. Tennis. Hiking mountains. Kayaking. Mountain biking. XC-skiing.

6:24 am

There is so much to cover with that topic.

6:24 am

so far we've talked about football, the Tour de France, ice skating, soccer, diving...

6:25 am

Mechanics, hydrodynamics, aerodynamics...

6:26 am

120/104 and I must get ready for work. Enjoy the day.

6:27 am

see you later, scrabs!

6:28 am

Of course I must find "just one more word."

6:28 am

got any o words?

6:29 am

Nope. I was just looking at the O, Y and bottom S.

6:29 am

y is plural assents

6:29 am

I don't have the bottom s either

6:29 am

Believe it or not, suffix that means sugars is a word

6:30 am

Gotta go.

6:30 am

thanks, molly - thought I tried that!

6:30 am

bye, scrabs!

6:36 am

I really don't like A words. I especially don't like it when there are twenty freakin' one of them.

6:37 am

hello everyone....the bottom S is se7. Go all the way to the top N

6:37 am

I am with you, molly! add that to the eleven I words, and even the four o words, and ....

6:37 am

Vowels should keep their places in the middle of words. : )

6:38 am

I agree Molly

6:38 am

thanks, annie! nbt!

6:39 am

youre welcome

6:39 am

*Waits for someone from the Anti-Defamation Of Vowels Society to whack me*

6:41 am

Because of my obse7 to find words on my own, I actually found that one by myself earlier. : )

6:47 am

*took a minute to realize there is no b in the grid*

6:52 am

and the R is in the wrong place

6:53 am

Good morning!

6:54 am

morning, car.

6:54 am

Hi Annie!

7:08 am

The R is in the wrong place?

7:10 am

I keep wanting to add words that end in ER

7:10 am

Ah yes.

7:10 am

It would be helpful to trade it with the F

7:11 am

yes, it would. this grid is making me qu6/33.

7:11 am

Oh no! {passes dramamine to Annie}

7:11 am

Well that is what happens when the letter toss comes up with 5 s's. Yee Gods.

7:12 am

I was cranking right along and now have screeeeeeched to a halt!

7:12 am

almost every word in this grid has a plural ending.

7:12 am

I have en 7 & 8 from the right hand E. what am I missing?

7:13 am

hi all,may I have a clue car

7:13 am

Plural of the letter?

7:13 am

People enroled in a contest are often referred to as en 8....take of the plural for the en 7

7:13 am

es 5/10 I have from the upper E.

7:14 am

ty car

7:14 am

thanks, car.

7:14 am

Greek letter

7:15 am

Oh Good Grief! Ty Molly! I had the volcanoes so in my mind I must have done the greek letter too...NOT!

7:16 am

And stats please for the second O from the right? I have oy 4/6

7:16 am

anyone know what the 9 and 10 start with?

7:16 am

fa

7:16 am

thanks, molly

just went back to make sure I had my plurals.

7:17 am

Two os4 Car

7:18 am

I have those as well.

7:18 am

Or an oy7

7:18 am

Ugh! That is the one I am missing...searching now....

7:19 am

Does it have to do with shellfish?

7:20 am

no

7:20 am

I need a clue please.

7:20 am

o and duplicate agreements

7:20 am

Weirdish plural of the oy before it

7:21 am

Good lord. TY!

7:21 am

7:22 am

Yes

7:22 am

7:24 am

7:24 am

good clue Molly was trying to think of one. Only on for a quick few words. Beat the bus home from town cos I needed to go to somewhere else - got in got all my stuff together then I couldn't find the door key! Found it just as the bus was going past - so I shall hop on the next one

7:26 am

Oh Kazz! How frustrating! But I am glad you are here with us!

7:26 am

7:28 am

7:28 am

I need to go make some apple crisp. I will catch you all later!

7:29 am

bye car., a great day to you too

7:29 am

7:31 am

ty

7:32 am

seat

7:32 am

I get those messages also from Bermuda....I should be a multimillionare by now. Molly, dont open them, they can cause viruses.

7:38 am

any way - all of you have a lovely day as I am about to go and play havoc with the shops - friends 40th birthday party tomorrow - need something to wear

7:41 am

bye Kazzer, enjoy

Still struggling with the fa9? I got the first 4 letters, to be very quick, but are the last five a word?

8:09 am

fa 9 starts with being overweight

8:09 am

and then ends like the fa 10

8:09 am

Good Morning! How are you all today?

9:48 am

hi nef

hi nef

9:48 am

hi lbd. How are you doing today?

9:48 am

Hi Nono

9:49 am

good morning, all :)

9:49 am

doing well, nef. and yourself?

9:49 am

hi nan

9:49 am

gm nef..molly has been asking about you

9:50 am

I'm doing good, ruru; and DH is finally recovering too (I came to update my profile, but thought I'd play a bit first!) Haven't been here for a couple of weeks

9:50 am

hi Nef, have missed you

9:51 am

I figured that.. I"m glad he's recovering

9:52 am

good to hear DH is recovering.

9:53 am

tadone!! finito and that fa10 is so not a word.

9:53 am

so am I, rurru; so am I. He's in an intensive rehab unit and is progressing very well. He had his back surgery on 2/21 and it was much larger than planned; then emergency surgery 2/25 to release pressure and preserve function. But he's doing 100% better now

9:53 am

YAY, lbd!!! WTG!!!

9:53 am

anyone know how mrp is doing?

9:54 am

and who is taking care of you, nef?

9:54 am

great. it is amazing as to what they can do.

9:54 am

lbd, now that he's out of the woods, I'm doing good!

9:54 am

What's going on with mrp?

9:55 am

have you been ill nef?

9:56 am

no, cyber; I just worry too much. :-)

9:56 am

sounds like you had a lot to worry about, so glad he is doing well

9:57 am

.

9:57 am

thanks.

9:59 am

Has anybody heard from mrp?

9:59 am

Nef, I was just asking about you last night. I noticed you hadn't been around and was hoping everything was okay. Glad to hear your husband is recuperating. You have been missed.

9:59 am

was asking because we haven't seen mrp for a few days

10:00 am

Like many nurses I know; I seem to have a "care-taking" gene that makes me forget to take care of myself. Some people have pointed that out to me (including a number of people here); and it's a hard lesson to learn. But I'm trying to do that now

10:00 am

oh - hubby has been ill - sorry to hear that nef

10:01 am

cyber, it's been a long year. But it's getting better now!

10:02 am

Is there something going on with mrp and family? Not having been here lately I need to catch up a bit!

10:05 am

good to hear, nef

10:07 am

What about mrp?????

10:07 am

*Fluffs comfy pillow for Nef and puts warm blanket in her lap*

10:07 am

nothing new with mrp as far as I know - same old...

10:09 am

stuck with 86 to go -- giving it a rest. Have houseguests arriving this afternoon and some errands to run before they arrive. :)

10:10 am

Bye Nan, enjoy your company.

10:11 am

so how is everyone else doing here? Ruru did your knee heal?

10:13 am

nope. I have surgery coming next month

10:14 am

changing my name to mr. icepack soon

10:14 am

what will they do?

10:15 am

arthroscopic on both knees

10:15 am

one is worse than the other

10:17 am

one of DH's surgeries (on ZDec. 18th) was arthroscopic repair of 2 torn meniscus in the right knee. We'd known he'd had 1 torn one on the outside; but when they got in there he'd had 2 torn. After the first week or so, it was good; but the ice packs are necessary and then don't push it too much!

10:18 am

(the swelling can last for over a month and is a reminder that you overdid it)

10:19 am

that's what I have heard and am planning on icing a lot.

10:19 am

oh.. I overdid it alright

10:20 am

nbt

10:20 am

hmm.. no surprise there. We all know you're overdone.

10:21 am

10 -20 minutes per hour, not continuously. I'd torn both of my knees up in 1996 (fell off a ladder cleaning gutters) and a friend had this really neat cooling device. It's like a 2 quart cooler with tubes and ice bag connected to it; it circulates cold water over the knees.

10:22 am

they sell something like that in a vest. My hubby got one to keep cool motorcycling in the summer.

10:22 am

Ask around and see if anyone you knows has something similar; it really helps pre-op too.

10:22 am

mixi6, my DH has a vest like that too; but it's for his MS

10:23 am

(no 2 quart jug for it though)

10:24 am

he has two quart containers that you freeze, then pump while it melts.

10:27 am

that sounds interesting

10:27 am

the sun is out...going to see if it's warm. nef, take care of yourself! lots of pampering, you deserve it! bbl

10:29 am

sounds beautiful, lbd. Enjoy it!

10:29 am

need help with vi7

10:30 am

The social worker just called about setting up the home IV antibiotic therapy; DH may be coming home next week! :-D

10:30 am

vi7...almost all of what grapes grow on + another word for donkey + vowel

10:30 am

m. fireworks.

10:31 am

nice..and thanks that gave me an 8 also

10:31 am

YAY, mixi6!!! WTG!!!

10:31 am

congrats mix.

10:32 am

thanks for the hint, m9

10:33 am

;-)

10:34 am

nbs.. now for 1/2way

10:36 am

1/2way with the ragwort.

10:37 am

I need to get my rear in gear and quit for now; I'm goign to update my profile and then vacuum and eat lunch before I go to the hospital. Have a good day, Everybody!

10:38 am

You too Nef

11:13 am

hi, all. anyone have a clue for the 9|? and, is the 10 a plural of the 9?

11:15 am

It's a plural of the fa7,40

11:16 am

The 10 is the plural of fa8,55

11:17 am

thanks! found both the 9 and 10

11:18 am

Yay!!

12:18 pm

12:18 pm

fa

12:19 pm

great!

12:19 pm

yes ruby - very - but apparantly big cyclone up north and moving down our way so by Sunday should have lots of rain - hope not too heavy and damaging

12:19 pm

one extreme to the other, it sounds like

12:20 pm

here it is suddenly warm -- what a pleasure!

12:20 pm

Good grief, it's Wizard Of Oz time for Ursh.

12:20 pm

get those ruby slippers out of storage!

12:21 pm

I hope not. lol

12:21 pm

are cyclones like hurricanes only backwards?

12:21 pm

like when water goes down the drain in the southern hemisphere

12:25 pm

I don't know Ruby, we would need some science geek to explain that one.

12:25 pm

there must be one in here someplace....

12:25 pm

I think it's a fallacy.

12:26 pm

I am gullible then

12:26 pm

where is Sue when you need her?

12:26 pm

no, no Ruby.

12:26 pm

DH told me about the drains thing years ago and I always believed it....

12:26 pm

lots of people think that

12:27 pm

and I could be wrong.

12:27 pm

i think cyclones originate in the Pacific Ocean. Not sure, we just called them Typhoons in Guam.

12:27 pm

there is an expression , probably in every language : granmothers' tale, bubba miesse {sp?

12:27 pm

are typhoons the same as cyclones?

12:27 pm

sorry have granson sleeping over - was requesting chocolate milk

12:27 pm

histoire de grandmere

12:28 pm

Yes, typhoons are tropical cyclones.

12:28 pm

now we're getting someplace

12:28 pm

it means old wives tale

12:28 pm

but do they go clockwise or counter-

12:28 pm

same thing Rube

12:29 pm

Franmag this storm is called tropical cyclone irina

12:29 pm

low pressure systems are always counter clock.

12:29 pm

what's funny is speaking with Fr women and finding the same expressions

12:29 pm

((RUBY))

12:29 pm

yes, it is.

12:29 pm

hi everyone, ruy, heo, ursh

12:29 pm

oops sorry caps

12:29 pm

and crossy

12:29 pm

howdy bichon

12:29 pm

{{crossy}} and I love caps!

12:29 pm

{{bichon}}

12:29 pm

Hi Bichon and Crossy

12:30 pm

howdy hego

12:30 pm

"hurricane" (the North Atlantic Ocean, the Northeast Pacific Ocean east of the dateline, or the South Pacific Ocean east of 160E) "typhoon" (the Northwest Pacific Ocean west of the dateline) "severe tropical cyclone" or "Category 3 cyclone" and above (the Southwest Pacific Ocean west of 160°E or Southeast Indian Ocean east of 90°E) "very severe cyclonic storm" (the North Indian Ocean) "tropical cyclone" (the Southwest Indian Ocean)

12:30 pm

all the bulbs are coming up

12:30 pm

Otherwise kown as "a really big blow". Good afternoon, Babblers!

12:30 pm

my husband types all his emails in caps - i tried to explain that it is regarded as shouting - he said "what rubbish - they can see i am not shouting"

12:30 pm

Well, Fran cleared that up!

12:30 pm

hi Judi!

12:31 pm

thank you fran, I'm glad we live inland

12:31 pm

lolol Ursh!

12:31 pm

Hi Judi

12:31 pm

hello judi

12:31 pm

lol ursh! that is funny

12:32 pm

hilarious

12:32 pm

yes, typhoons/hurricanes/cyclones not fun at all.

12:32 pm

I have a friend that always types in all caps too. She's says she does it because it's easier for her to read what she writes.

12:32 pm

my husband and I went through Hurricane Andrew hunkered down in the office on Miami Beach because we couldn't take the dog anywhere

12:32 pm

I am listening to a great Chieftans album.

12:32 pm

ruby, even though VT is insland, it was struck very hard by Hurricane Irene this past Aug.

12:32 pm

evening everyone anyone got any remodies for bad colds i feel really crappy and ive got work in morning

12:32 pm

Sorry to hear Cool

12:32 pm

hot water, whiskey and honey

12:33 pm

hi cool.girl

12:33 pm

sounds good to me

12:33 pm

brandy - warm ginger ale and aspirin

12:33 pm

tea with lemon and honey,hot toddies with a really good single malt whiskey,good home made chicken soup,a warm fuzzy couch blanket and a good book

12:33 pm

Echinacea and vitamin C, cool.girl - lots of both.

12:33 pm

ty cant drink im diabetic

12:33 pm

that's true, bichon, and it's funny that they are using Irina for the cyclone heading toward SA

12:33 pm

ok judi's recipe is good then

12:33 pm

Gargle with salt water if you throat is sore.

12:33 pm

me too cool. Diet soda and plain tea is my mainstay

12:33 pm

unfortunately, there are no cold remedies. All you can do is manage the symptoms and wait fir it to get better.

12:34 pm

hego is of course correct;)

12:34 pm

how about steam in the bathroom?

12:34 pm

whats echinacea ive not heard of that

12:34 pm

T

12:34 pm

it's a lovely purple flower used in lots of homeopathic remedies

12:34 pm

Tylenol for fever and pain

12:35 pm

Tis an herb. Lots of antioxidents in it.

12:35 pm

a sinus rinse squeeze bottle helps. You use it with a packet of saline solution

12:35 pm

yes Bichon true

12:35 pm

DIL swears by zinc

12:35 pm

or neti pot.

12:35 pm

thats what i love about babble you dont just have fun playing you get to learn at the same time thanks everyone

12:36 pm

also true

12:36 pm

I feel like I learn something every day in here (besides silly babblets, lol)

12:36 pm

Interesting note I learned in Pharmacology class about Echinacea...only take the droplet kind. No tabs or caps as your stomach acid kills any goodness it might do before reaching your bloodstream.

12:37 pm

its going to bed and your nose running or blocking completly that kills me

12:37 pm

Vicks vaporub

12:38 pm

unblocks the nose

12:38 pm

a cyclone is called tropical because it forms between the tropic of cancer and the tropic of capricorn - the word according to google (i was wondering what make a cyclone "tropical" or not)

12:38 pm

I like vicks

12:38 pm

i love the smell of vicks it reminds me of my childhood

12:38 pm

Breathe-right nasal strips used to work for me.

12:38 pm

me, too, girl -- makes me thing of my mother

12:39 pm

no cyclones in the mainland US?

12:39 pm

think*

12:39 pm

shhh,it is my beloveds b-day,and i am having my brother who lives in las vegas mail me a barnes and noble nook reader for her special day:)

12:39 pm

i hate vicks - my mom used to rub it on our chests, backs and under the feet - hate the burny feeling

12:39 pm

Vicks is a mainstay for colds in my house. Also a cool mist humidifier.

12:39 pm

Happy birthday Elegant

12:39 pm

12:39 pm

i ADORE VICKS VAP-O-RUB\

12:39 pm

awesome, crosshair!

12:39 pm

oops sorry caps

12:39 pm

the good old days when we didnt have a care in the world

12:39 pm

that crossy is the best husband!!!!

12:39 pm

Ag Ag Ag! Vicks should be banned from existence. Vile nasty ointment.

12:40 pm

great gift Crossy!!

12:40 pm

Vicks is like Scotch. You either love it or you hate it. I can't get through a cold without it.

12:40 pm

our house is never without vicks rub in the medicine cupboard

12:41 pm

I don't know if they have it here, never had a Fr cold

12:41 pm

What does Vicks do?

12:41 pm

the eucalyptus in it unblocks your nasal passages

12:42 pm

warms your chest and helps you breathe easy

12:42 pm

it warms,the chest and back,eases congestion with the eucalyptus vapours

12:42 pm

It's basically a mixture of Vaseline and eucalyptus oil.

12:42 pm

ruby you make me think of the british lady who gave birth to quads and was told she would be getting a "royal letter" and the mum said she hoped it worked better than a french letter

12:42 pm

lol

12:43 pm

just fell off my chair laughing, ursh

12:43 pm

how long does it last crossy

12:43 pm

too funny Cool

12:44 pm

the french letter or vicks

12:45 pm

i have been sitting here for 30 min with 75 left and have not typed in one word

12:45 pm

what, may I ask, is a french letter. [very sheltered]

12:45 pm

I'm stuck with 90 left

12:45 pm

old fashioned term for a condom

12:46 pm

did you know there is a town in France called that?

12:46 pm

well it shelters a part of a mans body lol

12:46 pm

never would have figured that out. Where have I been?

12:46 pm

thx for asking that question bichon. :)

12:46 pm

and Fr royalty used sheep's bladders in the 18th c.

12:46 pm

Love Vicks . . . but, Crossy, I don't think it's as strong as it used to be. :(

12:46 pm

like an umbrella

12:47 pm

Hi Judy

12:47 pm

33 left here and the brick wall just keeps getting taller and thicker... *sigh*

12:47 pm

33 left here and the brick wall just keeps getting taller and thicker... *sigh*

12:47 pm

greetings Hego and fellow Babblers

12:47 pm

You have to keep your Vicks fresh. If it sits around tool long, it looses it's oomph.

12:47 pm

sorry, double hit... *rolls eyes* too much coffee, maybe...

12:47 pm

12:48 pm

1:50 pm

i'll take the hard truth, i can take it. lol

1:50 pm

Pssst, hey kids. I am waiting for my next patient--due in 25 minutes, so I came to see my peeps.

1:50 pm

scrabs!!

1:50 pm

Hey Franny Bananny.

1:50 pm

Hi Scrabbs

1:51 pm

Hi Scrabbs!

1:51 pm

hi scrabs! I just got out of class...

1:51 pm

Hi Brooklyn Annie--feeling well?

1:51 pm

Hi scrabs

1:51 pm

And Judy and Sue, hello, hello...and hego.

1:52 pm

Back from my power walk with the dogs. Well, they did a power walk, I let them pull me up the hills <ggg>

1:52 pm

pretty good,thanks

1:52 pm

Sue do whirlpools in th sothern hemisphere go the other way?

1:52 pm

I need to be amongst sane adults. I have been seeing coughing, snotty kids and their worried mamas since 0800.

1:52 pm

southern

1:52 pm

Coriolis effect?

1:52 pm

I have a coughing, snotty child of my own here with me.

1:52 pm

yum, coughing, snotty kids.

1:53 pm

no but storms do, hego (big storms like hurricanes especially)

1:53 pm

Hi Bichon. Did your grandson decide to be toilet-trained?

1:53 pm

is it true Scrabs, I've heard both

1:53 pm

Aha!

1:53 pm

mamas not worried though...unless you tell me the plague is going around. lol

1:53 pm

Not really. He's 2 and 1/2 and now they have put him in pull ups. Arrrgh

1:53 pm

Ruby was asking

1:54 pm

I think the direction of toilet water is more related to the shape of the bowl and not the Coriolis effect. True, Sue?

1:54 pm

That's not the worst part. He still sleeps with Mommy and now the 5 y.o. thinks she should be able to also. I give up!

1:54 pm

but things like whirlpools and toilet flushes (and sink and tub drains) are dominated by how the water is flowing locally

1:54 pm

in the toilet it has mostly to do with the direction the water comes in

1:54 pm

Sad, bichon, but there is nothing you can do.

1:55 pm

done. the last 35 were tough...

1:55 pm

The "in's" are demolished

1:55 pm

YAY for amelu !!!!!

1:55 pm

yay amelu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1:55 pm

It is funny to walk into an exam room and see an anxious mother and a snotty nosed kid jumping around and smiling.

1:55 pm

Woot Woot for Amelu!!!!

1:55 pm

i wish i'd thought to test that water thing when i was in Nauru. it's pretty much ON the equator.

1:55 pm

Yay Amelu!

1:56 pm

yay amelu!!!

1:56 pm

I need to ask you something. My grand daughter has astham [moderate] and food allergies [need to have an epi pen]. The will only be a 1/3 time nurse at her Kindergarten. That seems scary to me.

1:56 pm

tyvm! :o) any clues before I move along?

1:56 pm

The question is for Scrabs

1:57 pm

Yes, that is a huge liability for the school and a risk to ill/injured kids. So make sure at least 2 teachers fully understand allergic reactions and the use of EpiPen. Let me see if I can find the link to a Food Allergy Action Plan.

1:58 pm

They are thinking of sending her to a private school where there is a full time nurse

1:59 pm

My husband, who is first aid certified said that legally, he cannot give an Epi pen and could be sued if there is an adverse outcome

1:59 pm

http://www.foodallergy.org/page/504-pl an

1:59 pm

http://www.foodallergy.org/files/FAAP. pdf

1:59 pm

aren't there Good Samaritan laws that cover that?

2:01 pm

There would be no harm if epinephrine was given without true need--increased heart rate and jitteriness for 20-30 min. But it is better to give epi than watch anaphylaxis develop.

2:01 pm

I would think so, Sue.

2:02 pm

I have sent the link to my d.i.l. Thank you

2:02 pm

That website is great: foodallergy.org

2:03 pm

My 3:30 patient is here early. BBS

2:03 pm

3:11 pm

Maybe help her clean up and chat - but no more stamping tonight

3:12 pm

what lynxxx said

4:22 pm

pl ending nan

4:22 pm

Mkg, that grandboy of yours is adorable. So nice to see his smiling face.

4:23 pm

what is savoury?

4:24 pm

Okay, I did this with Soodle last night. It's a herb seasoning that y'all must not get in the UK.

4:24 pm

oh ok. thanks..i'll just put in mixed herbs

4:25 pm

ground sausage? i suppose i can take the meat out of my prk sausages?

4:25 pm

is it pork?

4:26 pm

whew! found them! - ty

4:26 pm

sorry about this molly but i want to get it as near as i can so it tastes like how you all have them

4:27 pm

Here we can get ground sausage in bulk form, not patties or links.

4:27 pm

lill, wikipedia says savoury is related to thyme and rosemary. I haven't tried it myself though.

4:27 pm

and are the bread crumbs from bread ot the dried ones you get in pots?

4:27 pm

I use dried bread crumbs.

4:28 pm

tyvm fran. we use that for lamb dishes. i grow my own thyme and rosemary in pots in the front garden

4:28 pm

ok ty molly. sorry for being a pain!!

4:29 pm

is the pillsbury pastry thin crust?

4:29 pm

phantom, anenst

4:31 pm

we do get pilsbury cake and biscuit boxes here but i don't think i've seen pasdtry. but we do get ready to roll thin crust pastry here and we get readymade puff pastry to roll out

4:32 pm

*pastry

4:32 pm

I give up - these s

4:32 pm

*s's have done me in :(

4:32 pm

Not a pain at all Lilliann. Savory is an herb just like thyme and rosemary. Funny that you have none where you are. It's very good for seasoning beef. Any rolled pastry is fine for this recipe.

4:32 pm

bye all

4:32 pm

I need 5 more Ss

4:33 pm

i know what you mean nan i have 28 left and they are thes's and t's!!

4:33 pm

en 7/8, plz

4:33 pm

night nan, tc

4:33 pm

en7/8 one who signs up for a class or contest

4:33 pm

do you have the "pressure" st6/8 combo, nan? like st**** from work with different first vowel.

4:34 pm

we do have rosemary and thyme here, but they are in seperate pots and not called savoury. i grow my own molly

4:35 pm

woo hoo...Ns down

4:35 pm

No, savory is an herb all on it's own, not a combination of herbs.

4:35 pm

as in dried in jarsin the supermarkets and they also sell fresh herbs

4:36 pm

HOLD THE FRONT PAGE! Canadian Meat Pies were on the menu Chez Soodle this evening, and whilst I could not find any savory, they went down a treat. Compliments to the chef were well received.

4:36 pm

oh...sorry molly, no we don't get that here and i've never heard of it

4:36 pm

hi Soodle!

4:37 pm

Hi Fran, Lilli, Molly et al. Patting tummy, and digesting Canadian Meat Pies with a smile on my face.

4:37 pm

i don't fran, but not quite getting your clue...sorry, i'm very tired!!

4:38 pm

don't get st****ed out, lill, but change the first vowel, then plural for the st7

4:38 pm

Lilliann, do you have something called "sausage seasoning"? I'm reading about savory substitutes in the UK.

4:38 pm

hi soodle..so what did you use instead of savoury?

4:39 pm

Glad you liked them Soodle.

4:39 pm

(Whispering to Lilliann... instead of this mysterious savory, I threw in a dollop of Aramat') The end result was delish

4:39 pm

tx for the clue, fran!

4:39 pm

yw, une!

4:39 pm

mmm.not sure, never heard of sausage seasoning?

4:40 pm

aramat soodle?

4:40 pm

i still need 5 7s, don't know how that's possible.

4:40 pm

i need TEN, fran LOL

4:41 pm

4:41 pm

i need 7/7's and 1/8 fran :)

4:41 pm

4:41 pm

well, let me know if I can clue the 8 lill.

4:41 pm

Knorr's Aromat

4:42 pm

oohhh, i like Knorr . . .

4:42 pm

it wouldn't matter soodle, i've never used it or heard of it

4:42 pm

Thats the one, Molly!

4:43 pm

i have the vi8 fran but i don't know the other

4:43 pm

Recipe? Meat pies? Where????

4:43 pm

i'm just watching goldie hawn on the graham norton show and i love her to bits...love private benjamin

4:43 pm

Anyway, the residents of Chez Soodle complimented the chef this evening, which cannot be a bad thing.

4:43 pm

the st8 is like plural german streets

4:44 pm

me too, lilliann!

4:44 pm

molly, was kind enough to put it on her profile for me last night hoot

4:44 pm

Not there now:(

4:44 pm

and thanks for the list hoot

4:44 pm

yw

4:45 pm

Hoot, I put it back in my profile.

4:45 pm

thank Dee too - it's her list

4:45 pm

ok!

4:46 pm

Molly - thanks for the recipe.

4:46 pm

GOT IT!

4:46 pm

mm, i don't know much german and not streets...will look it up.ty une

4:46 pm

brb

4:46 pm

ty dee too :)

4:46 pm

Glad you and yours liked it Soodle. I found it for my husband, it was one of his favorites growing up.

4:47 pm

st8 sounds like the plural of what grows in your front lawn.

4:47 pm

good clue, molly!!

4:47 pm

ty molly...now you've said it , i know the word

4:47 pm

back in a bit *poof*

4:48 pm

ty une for cluing it. bfn

4:49 pm

Ok = printed it out. Why the Bob Evans sausah=ge?

4:50 pm

Glad to see you're not afraid of gatlic!

4:50 pm

Because it's good. You can use any ground sausage.

4:50 pm

garlic!

4:50 pm

I don't understand people who are afraid of garlic. What a bland life.

4:51 pm

can I use dijon mustard?

4:51 pm

Feel free to substitute anything you like. I often tweak recipes to my personal taste.

4:51 pm

I'll use Italian sausage then

4:51 pm

i love garlic and apparently it is a anti cancerous food

4:52 pm

i love french dijjon mustard

4:52 pm

Ok - I tend to not use prepared things, but don'r want to insult you. The recipes sounds good and will be great for lunches for the BF!

4:53 pm

I think fear of garlic stems from teenage years and teenage angst...perish the thought that one would smell of garlic.

4:53 pm

Ground mustard has a different taste than prepared mustard. The seasonings in Italian sausage might compete with the other seasonings in this recipe, I don't know.

4:53 pm

i always tweak recipes molly. i always look at a recipes as a helping hand but always add or take away ingredients

4:53 pm

Ditto, Lilli.

4:54 pm

but you can get the garlic tablets now soodle

4:54 pm

so no need to smell, just swallow..lol

4:54 pm

Don't be fooled by garlic tablets. They will come through your pores just like real garlic.

4:55 pm

I've found garlic that's dry or pre=peeled to be way too mild

4:55 pm

My current signature dish is chicken, green pepper and black bean sauce, with egg fried rice Not a jar, nor a packet involved. A true 'scratch dish.

4:55 pm

And I don't use seasoned bread crumbs

4:56 pm

do they?but your breathe won't smell! saying that, if you remove the green part of the garlic clove, apparently that is the part that makes your breathe smell!

4:56 pm

Does it really need 2 hours of cooking?

4:56 pm

Need? No. It's to let the seasonings soak in.

4:56 pm

The green part is also bitter.

4:57 pm

we get gatlic salt her in jars and pureed fgatlic in tubes...i don't like either as very salty! i prefer the real thing!

4:57 pm

I make my gumbo from scratch, but I'm sure that is not a dish prepared in the UK.

4:57 pm

aaah. ok

4:58 pm

If you chew a bit of parsley after eating a load of garlic, the offensive smell is offset.(or so I'm told...)

4:58 pm

i nsorry about my spelling :)

4:58 pm

Oh tes. celery salt - can I just yse celery?

4:58 pm

apparently so soodle, which is why i grow my own parsley

4:58 pm

Yep, chopped celery would be fine.

4:59 pm

Whats gumbo, Molly? (Sorry for being such a dumb cluck.)

4:59 pm

Lilliann grows herb. : P

4:59 pm

I think I'm very tired. My typing "skills" have gone byrbye!

4:59 pm

your chicken dish sounds nice soodle

4:59 pm

It's a Louisiana seafood stew.

4:59 pm

with okra

5:00 pm

Not in my gumbo. Okra, blech.

5:00 pm

Whats in it, Molls?

5:00 pm

no molly, we don't have gumbo here. is that not a new orleans dish?

5:00 pm

I thought that was the definition of stew in La

5:00 pm

Lilly... I haven't had any complaints yet. :-)

5:01 pm

Jambalya Crawfish Pie-ya good oh gumba...

5:01 pm

Now I'm going! Can't type, cam't think! Need a break - bbl

5:01 pm

Now I'm going! Can't type, cam't think! Need a break - bbl

5:02 pm

hello everyone

5:02 pm

I put shrimp, summer sausage and chicken in mine. Various seasonings, beef broth, green pepper, onion, celery. You serve it over rice with French bread.

5:02 pm

Hi Mom

5:02 pm

(((mom)))x

5:03 pm

((Lilliann)) hello hun. xx

5:03 pm

i'll have to try that molly, sounds lovely!

5:03 pm

I've probably said this before on Babble, but the nicest food I have ever tasted in my whole life was the the Seafood Chowder I had in a sourdough bowl in San Fransciso. To this day, I remember it.

5:03 pm

shrimps? is that prawns?

5:03 pm

as in little prawns?

5:04 pm

Seafood chowder in a bread bowl sounds divine.

5:04 pm

how are you and family mom?

5:04 pm

((((Mom))). How nice to see you.

5:04 pm

(((Soodle))) hello, so nice to see you as well.

5:05 pm

Things are coming along Lilliann. Rough week but I think we are about to turn the corner.

5:05 pm

Oh, no, Mom, Sorry things are difficult for you right now.

5:06 pm

aww, sorry to hear you've had a rough week but glad that it is hopefully getting better :)

5:06 pm

HOw are things with you Lilliann?

5:06 pm

Oh no, not me Soodle ... my sweetie

5:06 pm

((Mom)) sending good vibes your way.

5:06 pm

He ended up in the hospital last Saturday night with an abscess in one of the void spaces we have in our heads

5:07 pm

thank you all for the good thoughts

5:07 pm

Good Lord Mom, how scary.

5:07 pm

Emergency surgery on Sunday, home on Tuesday. We go back on Monday for a follow-up.

5:07 pm

good thanks mom, apart from hormonal child but that will carry on for years yet! i'm preparing myself for a long long argument....lol

5:08 pm

Molly, it was horrible. It was feared that the abscess would burst and enter the brain or the blood stream

5:08 pm

oh Lilliann, it is a rough time but you will survive it.

5:08 pm

I kept a magnet on the fridge when mine were teenagers. It was to the effect "now I know why mothers of animals eat their young"

5:09 pm

omg...sorry to hear that mom, i hope he recovers very quickly and with your love and you looking after him, i'm sure he will.sending healing thoughts and love his way.x

5:09 pm

thank you Lilliann.

5:11 pm

oh geez, I just looked at the word stats ... a 10 letter word :-(

5:11 pm

i need that fridge magnet molly :)

5:11 pm

it goes of the fa4, as in quick and the scottish lake monster mom

5:12 pm

thanks Lilliann

5:12 pm

5:13 pm

5:14 pm

5:14 pm

5:18 pm

Wowee, mom... You got a llot going on there. All my best wishes and thoughts and prayers going over to you.

5:18 pm

5:31 pm

*Puts beef stew and crunch French rolls in the PB*

5:31 pm

Or crunchy

5:32 pm

it's 11.30pm here molly but i could just eat that now :)

5:33 pm

It's a chilly, rainy night here. Good comfort food.

5:33 pm

in fact i can smell it....i'll have to go and get a carrot now!!

5:34 pm

i always make stew and dumplings in the winter molly as, as you say comfort food, especially when the weather's crap!

5:34 pm

Hello all. Just starting but looking for just 100 words. That's my limit. Here it is misty and gray. Not really cold, cold but the into your bones chilly. Making meat loaf for dinner. Have a flan in the oven. When I make angel food cake, the yolks go into a custard. Hope you are all cozy.

5:35 pm

Mmm, flan.

5:35 pm

That's why God invented the slowcooker- for chilly nights.

5:35 pm

Cut you a slice, Molly with a little whipped cream on top.?

5:36 pm

only had meatloaf on holiday and didn't like it but i would love to have homecooked meatloaf as it probably tastes different and the flan sounds lovely

5:37 pm

Oh thank you Gran Mere. Lilliann, home made meat loaf is the only way to have it.

5:37 pm

Home made anything is better than restaurant food. We enjoy eating out when traveling but always look forward to our meals at home. Come over, lilliann and have dinner with us.

5:37 pm

and hi stidgmere

5:39 pm

i'm packing my case now stidgemere and on my way :)

5:39 pm

There are very few restaurants I enjoy eating in. I much prefer my own cooking.

5:40 pm

i prefer home cooked food to restaurant food

5:41 pm

well the hotels we eat in molly are all inclusive so they are making hundreds of meals all the time so it's not posh and not like a good home cooked meal

5:42 pm

Must disagree here. Anything I don't have to cook or clean up after is great

5:42 pm

i'm not bothered about the food looking pretty and only 3 bites on plate...i want to enjoy what i'm eating, whatever it looks like!!

5:44 pm

I love to cook and don't mind the clean up, so that is why we eat in more than out. Well that and eating out isn't exactly in the budget.

5:44 pm

well, i do like the fact that i don't have to cook or clean for a fortnight soodle whan i'm on holiday and i will try anything once

5:45 pm

Had to step away to feed Murphy. He likes his dinner at home, too. Kibbles are the main dish and today a little left-overs of turkey.

5:45 pm

I haven't been on a vacation in a long time. I'm sure I could get used to it. : )

5:45 pm

Bon apetit, Murphy

5:46 pm

East, west, home's best. Being retired, we don't really get vacations any more.

5:46 pm

a spoilt murphy! he reminds me of my f.i.l dog, but he was a golden retriever

5:46 pm

ty soodle. I always tell Murphy, "Bone apetit." He likes jokes.

5:46 pm

hi all, thundersnow here. Bleah.

5:47 pm

Yes, you are in the middle of it uu.

5:47 pm

hi sue, doesn't sound nice! hope you stay safe

5:47 pm

LOL Gmere. Clearly , Murphy is a sophistocated beast

5:48 pm

it's slowed down a bit, and is warm so the roads aren't too icy, but they are a bit slick

5:48 pm

You're right Soodle. He is our pride and joy.

5:52 pm

Hope you don't have anywhere to go tonight Sue.

5:52 pm

Its hard to comprend that other Babblers are suffering the horrors of snow and ice and tornadoes. The weather here is benign and friendly.

5:57 pm

No weather complaints here. Chilly rain is pretty typical in early Spring. And it helps loosen up the ground so I can turn it and get it ready for planting.

Hello Does anyone on here have JMc's number? we are tyring to reach her.

6:00 pm

Sorry, Red. I don't have her number.

6:00 pm

no, sorry red

6:01 pm

is she not well red?

I think she is alright, she is driving to meet us for our beach weekend.

6:03 pm

oh ok.perhaps she hasn't got a good phone signal?

6:03 pm

Wah. another Babble Meet. I am so jealous.

6:03 pm

or she's in th loo?

6:03 pm

me too soodle?

6:04 pm

6:04 pm

Double wah.... A beach weekend??? wah wah wah....

6:05 pm

sun, sand and sea!! :(

6:05 pm

i sent a message to someone else looking for her number .. do you need it too, red?

6:05 pm

(although i don't know if it's a cell or land line)

6:05 pm

Wah wah wah................

6:05 pm

i'm sure she's fine red

6:05 pm

then again, you might be who i sent the number to

6:06 pm

yep, i think you are :)

6:06 pm

lol soodle!

6:07 pm

OK. I am going to go to bed now, and dream of a Babble meet on a beach... in the sun... with friends..... (trying not to wah wah wah...)

6:07 pm

*Clears throat in a dowager manner. Wonders why Soodle is weeping like a commoner*

6:09 pm

Pulling self together, clearing throat, and drawing self up to full height... ..'Sorry Molly. I lost the run of myself there. Normal service will be resumed tomorrow'.

6:10 pm

Good. We have estate decorating to plan.

6:10 pm

know what you mean soodle...joining wah wah wah.....

6:10 pm

wah wah wah

6:10 pm

(just got home in the snow)

6:11 pm

Y'all can stop weeping now. There is running involved in this weekend.

6:11 pm

glad you're home ok sue

6:11 pm

6:11 pm

Before I let myself down further, I will bid you all a very good

6:11 pm

6:11 pm

6:11 pm

6:12 pm

hi, missing an sa5/10 can anyone help?

6:12 pm

Hugs to all. Poof.

6:12 pm

If this is the weekend I'm thinking of it's KJE and Red and some other runners.

6:12 pm

i only have 2xas5s and they are pl of 4 mary

6:13 pm

*sa

6:13 pm

I don't think jmc is a runner (although I could be wrong)

6:13 pm

oh ok molly, what are they doing as i've missed this

6:14 pm

and I have an sa5/10 that sounds like it could be Spanish for saint

6:14 pm

mary, is your icon an afghan hound?

6:14 pm

No, apparently JMC is going to watch : )

6:15 pm

that's the one lilliann, ty

6:15 pm

sorry, ty uusue. And yes molly it is an Afghan

6:16 pm

yw mary. i always forget to plural when there is an s

6:16 pm

that was me askling about the dof mary.lol

6:16 pm

*dog

6:17 pm

is that yours mary?

6:17 pm

this grid is something else. I say that practically every day. Goodness, I think I'm loosing it lilliann

6:17 pm

<--- not fussy about attributions, at least not here

6:18 pm

tell me about it mary...aren't we all here!! lol

6:18 pm

no, not my afghan, although had 3 of them at differnet times

6:20 pm

lovely dogs...alot of brushing i bet!

6:22 pm

beautiful elegant dogs but too too much work. Not only that but had to walk daily and I live in Chicago area with brutal winter weather

6:22 pm

when i was younger a lady use to walk her 2 afghan hounds past our house every day. i thought they were lovely dogs but alot of work..lol

6:22 pm

Well damn, and here I am looking forward to referring to you as Professor Emerita in a few months. : )

6:24 pm

that's a title, not an attribution (in the sense I meant, anyway). And I seldom use titles outside of professional situations (although if you want to call me professor emerita I won't object :-)

6:24 pm

snap mary :) i think they are more show dogs for competitions if you are into that but still good loving pets and part of the family

6:25 pm

*Puts on dunce cap*

6:26 pm

Back again. Sorry, got pulled away to mix the meatloaf and put it into the oven.

6:26 pm

very much like greyhounds but they are hounds and must have room to run

6:26 pm

all I meant to say was that if I give a clue that someone finds helpful, and they accidentally thank someone else for it, I am not going to get my nose out of joint.

6:27 pm

However, I sense that I am becoming too professorial, and will attempt to inject some levity shortly (as soon as I find some :-)

6:27 pm

molly has a D cap on!! dances around her and puts tongue out at her and la la la's!! :)

6:27 pm

What, uu are there clues? Where? Why? Did I miss them?

I know he had back surgery and then had to have a wisdom tooth pulled.

6:56 pm

Oh my goodness, not again. Poor man. He has had a rough time.

6:57 pm

he ended up in hospital on sunday with an abcess in the void spaces int eh head but ok now

6:58 pm

abcess in his head? omg.

6:59 pm

Mom sounded optimistic about him turning the corner earlier. Sounds like she's had a heck of a week though.

6:59 pm

Molly, An abcess in his head? Can you explain that?

6:59 pm

7:01 pm

thanks, lil...Im going to send her an email. I understand everything you are saying but tell your hubby I said he needs a new keyboard.

7:01 pm

It could have been a complication of the wisdom tooth extraction Annie, not sure.

7:02 pm

it's my keyboard as hubby and daughter have laptops....i'm the one who's stuck with the old equipment!!

7:02 pm

That's what it sounds like. I'm having a tooth pulled on Wednesday.

7:03 pm

*Sprinkles holy water on Annie*

7:03 pm

lil, Go on strike!

7:03 pm

you'll be fine annie :)

7:03 pm

My oral surgeon is a genius. He's pulled all of my wisdom teeth and one back molar and not a complication at all.

7:03 pm

Molly, Thank you...Tuesday please sprinkle some more on me. I'm going to need all the help I can get. I am terrified.

7:03 pm

well, if i do that, i can't babble annie

7:04 pm

i'm passing a tube with gas and air to annie for tuesday

7:04 pm

Annie, are they going to give you anesthesia?

7:04 pm

True lil. Thanks for the tube.

7:05 pm

yw :)

7:05 pm

No! First they have to remove a temporary crown and the tooth is gone. It's the root that has to be removed. I am starting to tremble in anticipation. I am usually not such a baby but this scares me.

7:06 pm

I've had that done. Piece of cake Annie

7:06 pm

Oy, lots of Novocain then?

7:06 pm

I am sure everything will be fine. I am just thinking about it too much.

7:07 pm

oy!! lol

7:07 pm

Bichon, thanks for reassuring me. I can always trust a Brooklyn girl.

7:07 pm

I've had many crowns and a root canal

7:07 pm

Between you and Molly's holy water I will be okay.

7:08 pm

you'll be fine annie. just stop thinking about it as the more you do the more you get hetted up! :)

7:08 pm

hi bichon

7:08 pm

Think positive Annie. Expect that all will go well and it will. I'll keep you in my prayers for an easy procedure.

7:09 pm

okay, Im going to send Mom an email. You all have a good night. Bye. Thanks Molly.

7:09 pm

you too annie. tc hin and don't worry...no need

7:09 pm

how many words?

7:09 pm

224 gemini

7:09 pm

Tuesday I will also be at the dentist getting a tooth prepared for a crown - we can get through this together

7:10 pm

224

7:10 pm

ty

7:11 pm

Best of luck to you too Teach. Hope all goes well.

7:11 pm

hi teach, i might have to have a crown in may...depends on what my new dentist says

7:12 pm

i still have 2 baby teeth

7:12 pm

Wow Lilliann, I've never heard of that before

7:13 pm

I have had so many crowns that I've had crowns on my crowns

7:13 pm

you'll be fine teach

7:13 pm

i've never had a crown

7:13 pm

have hole in the back of a tooth where a piece cracked off last week - glad to have it fixed - tired of having my tongue rub against the sharp edges

7:14 pm

not bad for a 43 nearly year old eh molly?...but is it good?

7:14 pm

my daughter has all her adult teeth but 2..i think she may be the same as me molly

7:15 pm

my dentist has had to fill the top of them, because they're not ready to come out yet!!!...after 42 years, i'd think not..lol

7:17 pm

my oldest son had to have a baby tooth pulled when his adult tooth started coming in behind the baby'tooth

7:20 pm

how old was he teach?

7:21 pm

don't remember, but was back in elementary school age - one of his front teeth and they usually come out first

7:22 pm

my daughter has been told that this could happen so have i and i'm still waiting!

7:23 pm

the baby tooth had been knocked out when he was about 2 years old and the ER doctor pushed it back in - wanted to keep it in as a spacer but had said the roots would probably die off and tooth turn black (which it never did) but it would not come out

7:25 pm

i have 2 teeth which has had to be filled to look like a tooth but also to keep them in place and i've had x-rays and no adult tooth coming

7:27 pm

so does he still have that tooth teach

7:29 pm

that baby tooth was pulled so that the adult tooth would have space to come in

7:29 pm

you could see the adult tooth coming in behind his baby tooth

7:32 pm

well, my daughter has the same problem as in an ortho denrist has said she needs 2 teeth pulled out so the adult teeth come in but they don't know whether the adult teeth will come into their places, and as parents we are not going to let her go through it for cosmetic circumstances

7:33 pm

there is no tooth coming in with our daughters teach

7:34 pm

that would be entirely different

7:35 pm

i'm glad your son's tooth came in teach

7:37 pm

they seem to be pushing us into having her teth pulled out but we've been told she will be ok without them, as i have done and we don't want her going through all the trouble to getting them removed, and if you saw a picture of her tou wouldn't even know...the same as me!

7:38 pm

*teeth

7:41 pm

i would always opt to avoid unnecessary procedures of any kind

7:44 pm

I agree, people can be like sheep, just doing whatever doctors and dentists tell them. An informed opinion and a second opinion are always good things.

7:44 pm

it's a battle between the dentists/ortho dentists and us. we won't let them remove them unless it is neccessary!!

7:50 pm

i agree molly but sometimes a 2nd opinion isn't always needed, depending on the persons point of view..and that doesn't sound right, but i have memory problems and can't always think of the words i want/need

7:51 pm

also molly, people think doctors know every thing and will listen and go with what they say..right or wrong!

Good evening, could I get a clue for the first fa6/24, please?

7:52 pm

the end of the day, doctors are human!

7:53 pm

hi josh

8:37 pm

i've had 1 glass of wine, but forgive me ru it was a south african wine

8:38 pm

i like a crisp fruity wine without vanilla

8:39 pm

Vanilla in wine? Please tell me that is not so.

8:40 pm

Hi Babble friends

8:40 pm

heya dr

8:40 pm

Hi DR

8:40 pm

i'm afraid so molly and i hate vanilla in anything!!!!!

8:40 pm

hi dr

8:41 pm

Hi Leslie,Molly and Liilann

8:41 pm

I love vanilla. And I am not much of a wine drinker, but the very thought of vanilla in wine gives me the eebie geebies.

8:42 pm

i likea good glass of wine so what do you reccommend ruru?

8:43 pm

apart from your own

8:43 pm

he may have already wandered off to start ;)

8:44 pm

i meant to say i would like to try his if he has any

8:46 pm

leslie, i have just read your profile, have you got any foster dogs at the moment? and good for you

8:47 pm

i don't, actually. but i am going to an adoption event tomorrow to help out

8:47 pm

good for you hin

huh, new word for me, oy7 o + the sole y

8:48 pm

but then that's also good that you don't have any

8:49 pm

thanks Josh- hint on the Y?

8:49 pm

my cat has been a bit under the weather lately. so i am giving him a break from new animals in the house :)

affirmatives, dr

8:49 pm

affirmatives, dr

jinx leslie

8:49 pm

me too josh..wierd word!!

8:49 pm

ha!

8:49 pm

thanks both of you

8:49 pm

Josh, notice that Babble invents words that are not real. Check out the definition of that word. It's for a word spelled differently.

interesting plural formation, molly

8:50 pm

aww, i hope your cat gets well soon leslie

you don't see z's turn into s's when pluralized very often

8:51 pm

This game gets tedious for me when made up words are allowed.

8:51 pm

he is doing ok now. he just gets stressed when new animals come in the house

8:52 pm

i could do cat fostering..not dogs as my other 2 cats wouldm'tlike it

8:53 pm

cats do usually take longer to get adopted.

8:53 pm

really?

8:54 pm

i would have ahouse full of cats but hubby wouldn't let me

8:54 pm

well, at least here. like, you can't really take a cat to an adoption event, too scary for them

8:55 pm

but if they are going to get homes he might...i'm disabled so can't walk a dog so i love my cats

8:56 pm

love mine too. my guy is going to be 5 in a few months here.

8:56 pm

saying that, he works away in the spring/summer and i could get cats and foster them until they get homes

8:57 pm

i see a plan hatching :)

8:57 pm

oh definitely...as long as the bairn doesn't tell him we could get away with it...

8:58 pm

unless one was still there when he got back :)

8:59 pm

i would love to do it and then it takes the cats away from the rescue centres so they aren't frightened and in a homely environment

8:59 pm

i would just say it wondered into our garden :)

9:00 pm

that's part of it - getting an animal back in the swing of home life. and freeing up space in shelters too. lol lil, "what THIS cat? first i've ever seen it"

9:01 pm

exactly leslie with everything you've just said :)

9:02 pm

the problem is, is that the bairn would rat me out to her dad!!

9:05 pm

saying that, if she was helping me look after them she'd be ok but forget and tell him accidentally, bless her

9:07 pm
