nbt,nbs and 1/2way
our Abby age 6 had her tonsils out yesterday..her dad sent the saddest looking picture
very slowly, of course, but Don, ( bless him ) said i was cutting quite a good pace
ouch for poor Abby!
great for grannyrose!
oh poor abby. lotsa icecream and cool yummy things
yay m9, well done
seems they hardly take them out these days..there were at least 25 kids in the ward when I had mine out
btw -- I want to thank everyone who gave me ideas for the kitchen reno. It is now complete and we're very happy with it -- pics in my profile
ooh nan very nice..love those windows
ward? Oh! hospital.
back in 1952 m lol
west, i think that's when i had mine out too ;-)
luverly kitchen, Nan
was that you in the next bed?
:-D
I had mine out twice -- snipped at age 3, dug out at age 9
yikes, jilli!
oh geez jilli
still have mine
oh jilli! that doesn't sound fun at all!
have some more ice cream
and in those days the anaesthetic was, ugh, ether.
yep, remember the ether
me too
had mine out at 15 -- was ether then too
I remember that jilli, awful
and I remember my mom gave me ice cream and a set of yarn sewing cards :-)
all I remember was being sick to my stomach with a very sore throat
the older the worse, eh nan?
I woke up in the middle of the op, too
my poor mother was 4 and they didn't tell her what was happening..took her to the hospital in a taxi..she said she thought they were trying to kill her
isn't everything? ;)
west, i don't think i knew what was happening either . . . ugh
I think so, nan -- but nowadays the zonking out is so easy
hurshy had hers out recently and was in such pain
lol, when i last went to my ENT guy re sleep apnoea, he had a look and said, i see you still have your tonsils. but i had them out when i was six i said. well they've grown back he said. explains why all these ye4s i thought i had tonsillitis when i had a sore throat, and the thought, no way!
125 down and that icecream is making me hungry -- off for a snack and my bed -- see you tomorrow :)
and i remember going home and watching Lassie on our little black and white TV LOL
gnight nan
gnite nan
good night nan..take a cone with you
night nan, sleep well, hun
of course there was no TV when I was 9.
:-D
I just remember ice cream, apple sauce and aspergum
OMG i'd forgotten about aspergum! LOL
rose are you going to have them out at some point?
The docs lied to me. I had already had 5 mastoid surgeries and knew I hated ether, so they told me it would be 4711, that cologne. But it wasn't, and for ages afterwards I couldn't stand the scent of 4711 either.
my goodness jilli
60 left. gonna take a break
westy, probably not. have recovered adult patients after tosillectomies. not sure i need that myself
for sure rose..one thing at a time
I was wondering if they recommended it because of the sleep apnea
yeah, like right hip, left hip, left knee
before you go m..is Levi there yet?
i'll be the bionic woman by the time they have finished with me
aw, granny :-)
T's terminated.
well you're already Super Woman !!
go, cos!!
hey cos..have you been hiding?

teleconference and babbling west :)
westy, most of my sleep apnoea is central. my brain doesn't tell my body to take a breath properly. just little shallow spasms.it's called hypopnoea
tell your brain to get in gear
ok, signing off for the night -- enjoyed our crazy child surgery memories LOL *poof*
cos I so admire a multi-tasker
night une, sleep well, hun
nite-nite une
hang on westy, cos is male, he can't multi-task, right?
* giggle *
shh don't tell him
i'll be lucky if he speaks to me after this
sure he will
we all love grannyrose
you're my heroine
awww shucks!!! * blushing furiously *
rose my cousin's daughter just had her baby 2 months early and they can't say enough about how great the nurses are
he's off life support and getting mother's milk through a feeding tube
oh, that's such good news. neonate nurses are so special.
mommy went home today..only got to touch him..this is her first
they live 600 miles away..hope to see them in Oct
I remember when Deacon was born..he was a big boy !
so far away.....but hopefully the grandparents are closer
yes my cousin lives in the next town over
she said it was 105 degrees tonight there
he sure was, and his little sister is just that. she is so delicate, and feminine
how old are they now?
deacon is4, and claudia is2. my, time flies when you're having fun, doesn't it?
it does
seems like yesterday
well, whoopdeedo, just greyed my first tile
keep 'em coming
yay granny!
it's all your fault, westy, keeping me yacking when i should be babbling.lolol
but it's so nice to talk to you
i do prefer to yack in case you didn't realise it
good evening everyone. just had a wonderful dinner with a favourite nephew and his wife.
hi Bugsy
hi bugs! Any further developments about the gathering?
hey bugs, what a lovely way to spend an evening. good food, good company
hello bugs
what kind of developments are ou thinking of jilli. It is still on and I have finished refinishing the guest room.
The date, bugs?
it was fun granny. The poor boy is very sick and waiting for a liver transplant but his spirits are great and the evening was such fun
the date is definately August 18 - 19
oh, poor guy!
Uusue, hego, saanichcat and the stid family women are all set to come. I hope you will too
oh, poor kid...hope one comes along very soon
blessings for him bugs..wonderful he's in good spirits
Oh! Great! I hope to be there. How about you, flosey?
it is a dilemma granny. he lost 70 pounds and looks skeletal but in order to get a liver he must become sicker. We wud like to fatten him up and help him feel better but then he will have to wait longer. The whole situation is hard.
indefinite here unfortunately, anticipate the other son and grandson coming out but no date set
That sounds peculiar, bugs!
Flosey is on standby because she may have kids visiting then but she is welcome to come without notice
where are you bugs?
Hi flosey. sorry to have spoken for you
on Vancouver Island in BC westford. Do you have any family this way that you could use as an excuse to make the trip? We wud love to meet you
thanks Bugsy, but will let you know
fireworks
our oldest daughter is in Seattle now but is planning to move to Bellingham in Nov..would love to come out next summer
wtg anike
catch 22 situation. really ridiculous!!!!! it also means that someone has to die, in order for him to have the liver. * sigh * it's just not right!!!!
Yay anike !!
WTG ANIKE!!!!
Hego is coming from New Jersey because she had family is Seattle she can visit before coming up.
YAY anike
yay anike
TY - been head down because short of time lately.
westford please feel free to come visit whenever you are out this way whether there is a Babble meet or not.
haven't seen you anike..any races in your future?
Oh yes, west -- come next summer to Salt Spring!
thanks bugs I will surely do that
Jilli, I plan to make the rounds
yippee, west!!!
it is one of my fantasies to travel accross NA visiting Babble friends as I go
don't stop there bugs..let's make it a world tour
2nd round of state championships in 10 days (29th) - he is currently leading that. Off to Phillip Island mid August for national championships (currently 7th in class). Then it all gets hectic for a while, back and forth to fit in both championships.
wow anike best of luck to your boy !!
We are hoping for a good year
good luck, anike!
Thank you
oh yes westford. We can visit Soodle, Glatarell and all the Scots and English before going to Farance to see Rubyfoo
yay adam!!!! i did get that right, i hope? i pray that you are sustained and able to cope with it all anike
suddenly very sleepy, will finish tomorrow, 125 down
and don't forget Sprite ~~
wd flosey
I must go - work calls. Happy babbling
tks and goodnight

Motorcycle Road Racing, Bugsaw - a mother's worst nightmare
don't forget our other erstwhiloe Babbler in the Netherlands -- Lil Monkey (Katrina cooper)
I wish it were not just a fantasy trip Jilli but of course it wud be fun to pick up people as we go
I have been thinking of her lately jilli our new little cousin is named Walter
for his great grandfather
Hi Rose - yes Adam is right.
I did not know Lil monkey was in the Netherlands
Monkey Games
good. nice to know that oxycodone hasn't completely wiped out the grey matter
thats nether here or there bugs :)
Now I see the significance of your icon anike. I hope he stays safe
You are improving Rose?
She is very active aqnd interesting on faceBook, and so is her dad in CA --takes wonderful photos
Hi cosdem. good to see you are keeping us on track
sheesh, typo time!
Thanks Bugsaw. It is a way of life these days.
I miss talking to her jilli her grandfather was Sam Hinton and I was a long time fan
every day, anike. something happens each day, to give me the motivation to go on. now if i could just have one good night's sleep, i'll be a new woman
oh yes, west, Monkey Games, not lil monkey
Join FB, west -- there's a Babble group there
my yongest played football (American kind) and whenever a kid went down on the field my heart went into my mouth anike. I know of the stoic face masking the turmoil of worry inside. Peace to you
I was on FB..just can't do it
Sam Hinton? I must google him...
Keep up the good work rose. Must get going or I'll be in strife. See you all soon
night anike, see you at the flip
folk singer jilli..wrote some wonderful songs
I keep coming back. Adam used to play rugby union at quite a high level and that can be dangerous too so I couldn't take a trick. Gotta go now
Starving To Death on a Government Claim comes to mind..sung to the tune of the Irish Washerwoman
ah. Funny -- my favourite cousin in England was Michael Hinton, a philosopher.
God Bless All Mothers !!
Sounds wonderful, West!
Amen westford!
jilli tell MG I said hello
how long has it been since you've been to England jilli?

Hubby and I went to England in 1968 -- that was the last time.

Gnight bugs xx

Just join and friend a few people

you must keep those lions and tigers and bears in their cages
westyy, stuff piled all over the place. when we started the bathroom reno's 2 ye4s ago, the linen cupboard became the new doorway into the bathroom. so all that was in that cupboard has been piled wherever it fitted
I still have family and old friends in England and Scotland. I'm just chicken about travelling alone at my age.
I see. You do have your new bathroom now don't you?
still haven't found the spare bedroom bed.
jilli I'll go with you

this is tthe third time in 3 years my shower wall crumbled
good night ((jilli))
yup, westy. at least i don't have to trek through to the other end of the house for a shower. besides, mother mac has MRSA ( superbug ) in her lungs. don't want THAT in my wound.

sucha pain
I'll put in a good word for you

how are you?
cos..new subject ..were you anywhere near Ames?
I'm good. Nice to see everyone

our granddaughter is thinking of grad school at Iowa State

its a great school! Ames is a great town. campustown is awesome
Right !! They have a really good entomology department
I will tell her
let me know. ill give you guys places to go! you MUST go to hickory restaurant. the best bbq in the state.
and tell her she MUST go to the iowa state fair at least once. in des moines.
Yum !!
USA Today has the iowa state fair on their top 100 things to go and see before you die :)
I had lunch in Davenport once..on the way to CA
and every 4 years Ames is the home of the Iowa Republican Presidential Straw Poll contest --- the official kick off of the GOP Presidential campaign.
davenport blah!
that's right..that lady won this time lol

hey ruru, how's the knee tonight?
he's such a caution
Bane was created in 1993. Must have been done by the same people who went back in time to falsify Obama's birth certficate and the birth announcement.

rose do you think you'll work with patients that have had knee surgery?
cos one more question before you go..How are the winters in Iowa?
i do all the time, westy. have a lot of sympathy for them already. that has triplled over the last few weeks
not going for a bit... hmmm....
Iowa winters can be brutal.it can be mild. depends on year
that's good rose..you can help them so much
ISU is next to campustown in Ames.. which has everything so she doesnt need to travel if the winter's bad.
lol cos..was just thinking..I'll bet they are brutal
theres a chinese restaurant there.. once a week they rent out to the local gays and they use it as a gay bar.. Wednesday nigths only lol
she likes Chinese food too so that's a plus
there's a mall. ont he other side of town but it SUCKS.
its like where stores go to die :)
and done. and it's also time for my next lot of exercises. see you in about 10 minutes. :(
lots of late night restaurants too.
have fun gr!
Yay rose !! I'll be waiting.
oh yeah, a laugh a minute....not. lol
cos you are making it sound so good I might just have to move there myself
but there's drawbacks lol
1) It's Iowa . 2) See #1.
it's a good half way point since we have daughters in CA and WA now
ce6 please?
ah yes. IA is perfect then. smack in middle
You are too funny cos..I have been to Nebraska
i've lived in Nebraska. I loved it.

Hate their politics.
thanks west
ce 6..right down the middle of town..Ce****l Ave
you know her? lol
lol no i just guessed.
I have driven through and taken a train through Nebraska..that is one long state
that's the only way to get to CO from MI
yeah ive driven from Des Moines to Colorado Springs and back once for vacation
then again when imoved here. i am never driving that route again. ever.
remember when I said we were thinking of buying his dad's cabin near Fort Collins..kind of glad we didn't now
wonder if it's still standing
ahh yes. but the firss there werent bad compared to ours lol
I know. We were so worried for you.
was just informed FB did some updates. checking now
dont see it. anyway u know its funny. we dont hear anything about the fire now. no one cares anymore
are you still smelling the smoke?
nope
that's good anyway
not seeing the cr5?
I'll help you look
ty! :)
a wooden box?
and holes in the moon for the cr6 tyvm
it's twisty
ah yes ty
two more C's
c's completed.
good job !!
OMG! rick santorum downloaded Grindr to his phone! TOO FUNNY
the sweater vest man !!
grindr is the #1 app for gay men to use to hook up.
ah
and hes known for his virtol hatred towards gay people. lol
I wonder if he knew that
he thought it was a coffee shop app
any thoughts on Mitt's running mate?
hahaha
that's too funny
it'll be rob portman. unless mittens pulls a mccain and picks soeone no one has heard of
oh please not another Sarah
he may choose T-Paw over Portman. I expect it to be one of the either
too bad they're going to lose
i think obama wins electoral college while mittens wins popular
it's going to be a tough race
and nasty
already is
I'm afraid a lot of people are just not going to vote
Obama's now floating a new rumor ;)
what's that?
the campaign floated the possibility mittens hasnt paid any taxes and is why he's refusing to release the returns
but he has sooo much money lol
romney was on offensive for most of summer. nice to see Obama turn tables on him. hes now on defensive. may have to announce VP pick earlier than planned to change narrative
that silly little laugh of his makes me want to slap him
If Romney wins he can pay off the national debt
lol ugh he disgusts me
ok im off to bed!
bye cos..happy new refrigerator
GN :)
night cos, sleep well, mate
welcome back rose..was it a bit easier this time?
and i'm back, ice-pack on knee, bourbon in right hand, adn all is right with the world

STILL MISSING AN ST 5/10................ have the one thats part of a boat
oh, no heat necessary. still glowing in the dark with this wretched temp. i thought it might have been to do with the arthritis in the knee. but noooo. that would be too easy.

try being in my shoes ( so to speak ) i'm not allowed to have sex for 6 weeks post-op. we are both frustrated outta our minds
and its not even a damned word !!
that's not fair rose
it's almost as bad as having a baby. with no cuteness to goo over
paint a face on your knee
hmmmmm. nah, don't think that will work.
lol
Happy Babbling! See y'all later on.
ah well, 2 1/2 weeks to go, and counting
later, peach. hope you have a good one
time does fly..probably not for you though
good night peach sweet dreams
It's tomorrow and my baby girl is 43 today
I was in the hospital when they walked on the moon
and did you give her a celestial name?
no a very Irish one..Erin
hiya lyn
made my doc promise I could stay up and watch..was about 2 a.m. our time
I should have named her Moon Beam..it would have fit
Time flies doesn't it. The only way I can 'date' things in the past is by my kids birth or age
hey lyn
so true
hi Rose. Friends with your bike yet?
yes, hun. am doing a full cycle. and Don is so gracious as to say, that i set quite a good pace.
Hooray - your doctor and physio will be very happy with you (and themselves) I bet
i also walked 2 house frontages this AM. and back, without any help from himself
that's 3 times on the bike today
Good going! I remember very well after one op - not realising how weak I was - and what a huge/huge effort it was to walk a few houses. Those ops certainly knock you around - let alone having new body parts!
maybe you should be BionicRose
thanx lyn. every bit of encouragement is so very gratefully received
how cute oy6.24 & na5.12 in one grid
and re your last post? i probably will be. i still need both hips and the other knee done. but this morning's walk showed me just how much pain in the hips was brought on by trying to walk on this wretched knee
sort of ironic, don't you think? those 2 words in the same grid?
Are they as urgent?
no, lyn. not giving me as much grief.
has any of this cost you anything? or does Medicare cover all
all covered by my private health insurance. except the physio, as i didn't go with the hospital rehab.( the actual prosthesis cost $35,000. but i was a guinea-pig for stryker who are breaking into the market with this technology.
so our federal government can be thanked for something. we only took out private health insurance to avoid the medicare levy.
yowch - hooray for nice specialists though. Obviously you being in the field has some excellent side benefits!
BBL husband has bought home a cold for me and I need to attend to it
lucky lyn....hope you get the better of it
and i also am outta here. ruby, have emailed you. hope all babblers enjoy the grid.see you at the flip
good morning, Babble friends

time to start my day .... ((Hugs)) to all of you
good morning my friends:)whew! 09:30 and been a hard day already! laundry done,dishes done,went and bought groceries,did the banking,set down new bathroom floor tile and cleaned the car..crossy is done for the day...groan....
making the rest of us look bad crossy and good morning
howdy riverdance:) not as nasty as it sounds.i got the family up at 05:30 am for a pee and when they went back to bed,i pulled the poilet.the floor was prepped the night before
toilet
yikes...5:30....gotta love overachievers
i am a morning person.if it is not done by noon,it will not get done
i am a total slug after 5 pm
not me....if I didnt have to get up for work I would sleep until at least 9
todays crossy breakfast is mini wheats,a nice plain toasted bagel with cream cheese and a small dish of clingstone peaches in light syrup:)
are you feeling OK? *reaches to touch crossys forehead*
lol i am riverdance,but my body is telling me to change my diet a bit and make some healthier choices:(
tonights dinner is a rice veggie chicken breast stir fry
yum...I love stir fry over steamed rice
metro stores(if you have them there) have 20 kg bag of eagle brand long grain white rice on for $6.29
10 kg*
about 20 pounds
we do not have metro stores here - we always buy the large bags of rice too - we do eat alot of steamed rice
we are eating more rice and fish,less red meat and taters,lean chicken breast etc
the mrs loves my haddock/hallibut in a lemon pepper preperation
I am not a fish lover....my husband and son are....so when they have fish I make myself something else
we eat alot of chicken as well
fish is so good for you river.do what i do for the mrs,get fish types that are not real fishy/gamey
Tilapia is a good fish with a mild flavour
I have tried but it just wont stay down...
or is it the texture you cannot abide?
indeed jan it is very mild
I cant even handle the smell
mm:((
and tilapia has the benifit of being a farmed fish
Yup..im not a big fan of fish..but tilapia is good on the grill
but we are truly loving our rice of late,potatos are having a bit of a vacation
been debating a rice cooker
i love our rice steamer
you have to like your rice sticky though
it is that much better than the old way?
I use mine a fair bit
no,do not like sticky rice
Hi All
then you have to keep boiling it then....rice cookers make it sticky
ok,ty for the heads up

Hello Crossy!

All California license plates are made in prisons.

Just California? I thought all license plates were.

no road gangs either
We have minimum security details that pick up the trash on the highways.
ahh.here we have road guardians.in the local area businesses volunteer to maintain a particular strech of road as to garbage etc stores,scouts,lions club etc
Wait...why isn't po4ca4 considered a word?!?!?
We have those too, but I think those people "hire" the guys from the jail to pick it up.
Excellent question.
Firewords!
TY sallyds and good morning!
Hooray for Judi!!!!!
I just don't get it not being a word if the te8 is a word.
yaa for judi!

wow nef.. is that normal for your area no I would think
very unnatural for us; we "might" have 14 - 15 days of 90 degrees throughout the summer. The weather is very weird this year
I've been working in the basement a lot; getting lots done down there (cleaning, sorting, throwing stuff out); but when I come to sit down at the computer I tend to fall asleep! So I haven't been around here much

hi all, back from a delicious lunch with a lovely friend
what kind of food?
help with 7's pls. I only have one
it was an Asian Bistro. so upscale chinese food. not the regular run of the mill and very good
<-- no 7's or 8, but 97 words
how I miss Chinese food!!!!
ruby,how is your ruby today?
and how are you too, ruby?
I just have te7/8
I'm afraid my Ruby is winding down. She's breathing easier, but doesn't want to go for walks and is very clingy. So sad!
I am so very sorry to hear that ruby.
pls give her a gentle hug from me, ruby
she is such a lovely dog and very close to my heart
I know she is, ruby
how old is she?
9 1/2 and we've never had a chow make it to 10.....
is that the average age for a chow?
I don't know
my cat is 16 1/2.she is my third cat. never had a cat live past 10 1/2
that is terrific, peri, you must take wonderful care of her!
I think they say outdoor cats live to be 7; indoor cats live to be 14!
doing the best I can. she has kidney issues and the vet last year told me she would die without meds/
'our cat lived to almost 20. I always felt sorry for her, living in a house of dog lovers.
well Zoe-Anne is still here without any meds.
I was always a cat-lover until husband gave me my first chow
she won't eat the pills in her food and I cannot make her take them. had no idea she would last this long.
they're like enormous cats
:)
they look like such sweet dogs, ruby
it's easy to give meds to dogs; you just wrap the pill in cream cheese
they're endlessly sweet and gentle; it's hard to imagine how they got such a bad rep
any clues for the 7's or the 8?
te7/8 beverage favored by Brits and the thing this beverage is transported on
and pl
ty peri
I tried putting the pills in pill pockets and she just eats the pockets

hi bichon
hi sprite, molly
tight grid toay
today, even
hello my dear friends
hi Triffles :)
hello dear one! waiting for thunderstorms to roll in and free us from this oppressive humidity. can hear the distant rolls...
oh I know that feeling! The relief when it finally starts thundering!
I LOVE me some good thunderstorms. miss the ones in Ohio, which were a lot more Biblical in scale than the ones we get here
it's the best. I once was in France in a vale between mountains and the thunderstorms kept coming back and meeting over our head. It was massive :)
We're going to have bad storms here in CT this afternoon
It just started thundering here...
will you guys be ok?
I'll be okay in the house, but at 5 I want to go pick up hubby at work. He walked in today
sounds like a good plan
st6?
I don't understand how he could walk 2.5 miles each way in steaming heat and storms
I can imagine the walking in storms, but not in steaming heat
I keep entering coyote
crossy loves a good thunder storm,the noisier,the better
hey crossy *hug* :)
He's pretty tough, grew up in Miami. But he could get struck by lightening
you and Triffles and me should get together for a real Biblical thunderstorm some day
yes, if he is the highest point in the area, that is a definite risk.
I am going to take a nap in a bit, assuming the storm isn't too loud. a good afternoon/evening ahead: dinner with Primo and my mom, and then after dinner drinks with my man.....
sounds lovely, Trif. Enjoy it to the hilt :) *huggles*
((sprite))
giggles right back! he is working nights this week - boooooo
nm
darn... ah well... after a bit of postponement, satisfaction is even more grand...
good LAWD girl!
just found it, actually, Holly. I think it means verses of a poem or something like that.
:D Trif!
it does, i just got it too!
crossy does not worry about getting hit by lightlning.i have beaten the odds too many times with rare cancer strikes:) so i will try anything..well except for golfing in a storm,those guys ARE NUTS!
not golfing and not on a big water for certain.
ah good, Holly! :)
hmmm, I have to admit, I would not feel at all comfortable asea during a big electric storm
no. We canoed a lot when I was more mobile and you don't want to be the only canoe on a big lake either then.
Lee Trevino , pro golfer, once joked to reporters that he was safe in storms, because ,"Not even God can hit a one iron." About a week later , he was struck by lightning on a golf course.
argggghhh Uncover - famous la4 words!
that will teach him!
a hole in one...
wow, the birds in the forest are going MENTAL right now - maybe this storm really is gonna be something!
sounds like it. The animals always know.
and now here comes diggity, scratching at my door, the big wuss
smarty. Better indoors in weather like that!
no no, I mean, we are indoors. He wants under my BED
mine are asleep on my bed, enjoying the AC and comfy mattress
awwww poor diggity.... and very smart bichons!
bichons know comfy very well
hehehe I love that in a dog.
bichons definitely do give the impression that they enjoy the finer things, that is true!
the bichons are like crossy "easily satisfied with the ver best" ..woof
good one, crossy!
*cuddles crossy*
actually i stole that saying as sir winston churchill was know to use it:))
ah the man of the inimitable sarcasm.
and his other that he said to some princess or dutchess at a reception "sir!,if you were my husband i would poison you" and he was said to have replied "madam,if you were my wife,i would surely drink it..."
I adore that one crossy!
hehehe, yes that one is brilliant.
:))
these thunderstorms are so slow! I can hear them rumbling in the distance, and it has gotten darkish out, but so far....nothing real here
I always must think of him when I see Stripes and this drill sergeant goes, to a pretty antisocial guy: "Better behave, some day one of them will save your life." And someone else answers: "Then again, some day one of us won't."
hehe
not his saying but definitely his style
stripes,with bill murray?
yes :)
just noticed the tr 6 21 can all be typed with one hand
have not seen it in many years,but love it when they nail the parade at the end
did not notice trif,i type everything with two fingers:))
how did the chicken cross the road? It looked to the right and the left... SIR!
lolll Trif... is this where we better not ask what the other hand is doing?
i can type clean type with two fingers at 65 wpm:))
yay for crossy!
not sure if that is a proud moment or not..
sprite, have you been reading "50 shades" again?
behave ladies...
do not make me get my ping pong paddle with the speed holes drilled in it...
hahahaha! No, once was enough... but hey, what can I say... my mind needs no literary help...
don't "ladies" me! I am being very well behaved! Sprite is the naughty one today!
apparently not, you randy randy girl!
big surface... short handle... nah crossy, can never be bad ;)
look, I read I was doing it right on FB, so it must be true. My love and I keep our fights clean and our sex dirty :)
whoa, storms is hitting now....better power down the PC.....cheers all!
bye Triffles! have a good one.
tc trif..
put the whip with the metal ends away when reading!!
bye all!
lol crossy!
lol,us guys love it,seeing as it was a woman who wrote that shallow mound of bdsm,we are in the clear and can talk about the book all we want:)
it is like trying to find a deep story in a porno movie:)
hehehe :D
love to see who shows up at a author book signing,ratio of guys to girls
well the book might help open some conversations between a couple.
lol,i am sure it will
think i have all of fifty shades trilogy in epub,have not read them all but some babble ladies ask me for copies...
yeah I have them in epub as well. Have read them too. Easy read.
that series and the twilight series could of been written on the same day
I haven't read anything of the twilight series.
nor i,the wife says book one was ok as long as you do not mind a female main character with all the depth of a hubcap with water in it.she says the others were just tacked on money grabs
ah, see, i knew there was a reason I didn't read them :)
i do have them when you have a spare hour and a half to read all 3 lol
roflol... nah, thanks. I have better stuff waiting for me!
i personally imagine the female lead is like that so any drama ridden angst filled female teen can just pour herself into the roll
in that case it is smartly done. That will sell.
it is target specific
hoiw goes the majipoor series?
enjoying it?
at a standstill... got sidetracked by Faye Kellerman and her Jewish detective couple.
yes, I am enjoying Majipoor very much. Will get back to it soon.
lol,i try not to read two diff novels at once
oh I am bad that way. I tend to read different stuff before sleeping than I do in the day. When I read Majipoor in bed, I won't go to sleep until the book is done... not a wise move.
though the readers are perfect for that and my mrs will often have two on the go
tomorrow I must take my love to the hospital, he is being operated on his knee.
not a wise move with that series
hehehe your Elegance and I have that in common
what is he getting done?
sadly her vision is not good of late but my elegant asks me about the chog and the goings on in babble
they don't know yet. They go in and have a look, check out the meniscus (sp?), clean up the infectioned area of the bursitus.
bursitis, I think... darn, medical spelling!
i am a new bursitis sufferer;(
just in last 8 months
am so sorry her vision is not good. She is a brave lady.
my love has it in his knee. I have it in my shoulders.
mine is also in my kness,hot spots where the knee bends and pain in the lower arc under the knee cap
some deterioration but not serious yet
your shoulders? ouch.poor sprite:(
but I hope things will be not too bad, when they check his knee, and it will only be the bursitis cleaning. If they take out the meniscus, he will be some time before walking properly again.
ouch crossy :( That is very painful, I know!
ugh..you are telling me my future...
*sends healing vibes to crossy's knees pronto*
i am paying the price of walking and running for 30 years on concrete and asphalt
oh yes, slow but certain erosion :(
in poor footwear for most of it
guess next for me is cortisone shots
gentle movements without weight on your knees, crossy... keep the juices flowing... lube those knees...
idr gave me the exercises,but i already walk lots
dr
yeah but walking is taxing at the same time. Just remember to do gentle, easy movements without weight every once in a while too.
will do:)
:)
it's how I steer clear from operations still. When I forget, it gets really bad, then I remember and do them again and the shoulders start getting better.
fireflies! Tight little grid.
i do the same with my 3 heariated neck disks.lots of gentle streching and massage etc
yaa fpr sprite!!
very good. It is something I really had to learn... that small and gentle may work better than more rigourous treatments.
dr already warned me,not to let them cut open my neck unless i was on all fours crawling on the ground to get around first
oh absolutely. Way too risky, your neck.
dear crossy, I must love and leave you, time for me to go to bed. *hugs* for you and your sweet lady.
my friend had the same thing,in the neck but 4 disks i think,he went in and came out using canes with one foot turned to the right
tc ((sprite))
and sleep tight
not worth it, I think. *hugs*!
these c words are giving me a headache
Way too many C words in this one.
It's a catastrophic calamity ..
*finito*
Yay amelu!
Continuous, colorless c words.
Crafty, cantankerous, cloying c words ..

Between storms and a bad accident on one of our major highways, it's going to be a long commute for some folks this evening.

Believe it or not, there are actually people with a strange sense of "fun" who like grids like this. I thought it was a stinker.
i have CA 7 and TE 7 - which 7 am i missing please
2 ca7's
I just finished and thought it was a nice little grid.
thnx gramma
I think I'll have a cocktail. Clues? before I run.
Soooo thirsty. buh-by
carney s
Ooops
Where did that space come from. {slinks off to PB} I hope Gramma left a cocktail there.
A Gin and Tonic would be nice right now.
Open bar in the PB, Wht. Belly up.
Time to go see about some dinner. Hope to bbl.
hello?
morning Sue
hi lynxxx!
Your Mars hole is very interesting - maybe it is a Martian yurt
I want to go check it out!
You aren't one of those who have booked a ticket are you
I am not. My dad signed up to go to the moon back in the 1930s, though.
and is that where your passion came from? He say men walk on the moon I hope
say =saw
He did indeed and is still fascinated by astronomy (he is 91). I wanted to be an astronaut when I was 5 (which is before Sputnik was even launched). Probably I get some of that from him.
He must be very proud of you
he is, I think (he's the gruff sort so doesn't say much)
the last re6 please?
re + as**** projection
thanks molly
: D
fireworks. last word was va5
Ah, word with a dubious definition. : )
what, the va5/22?
clue for va 5/22 please
add the sometimes vowel to the va4/7 (very large)
tx -weird word
one of my favorite Shakespeare quotes: Glendower: I can call spirits from the va*** deep. Hotspur: Why, so can I, or so can any man; But will they come when you do call for them?
(Henry IV Part 1)
Boy, this is a lively room...not.
hey Molls,just stopped in to say hi and to see who is here. I sure do miss the old crowd
Ata, FranMag, etc
I miss conversation. Between more than two people. This place has gotten like instant messenger lately.
*sigh*
may be back later, bye Molls
Hi Molly and lurkers, I am back.
Oh hi Wht. Just watching the paint dry in here. I trust you had a blast in Aruba.
Had a great time. And it is so humid the paint just never dries.
Got back and had the same 90 degree weather, but without the trade wind and the ocean right there.
Yes, but when you have a beautiful sea to frolic in, the humidity isn't such a bother.
Exactly. And when the bar is on the beach, nothing is a bother.
Drinks on the beach is Nirvana.
And it was an all-inclusive so we didn't even have to bring money to the beach.
Ah, that is the life.
Firewords
Well done
It was pretty sweet.
Well, I'm going to leave this place to the lurkers. And those who will only chat with "certain" posters. Have a good night, Wht.
Good night Molls. I am gone as well.
you mean certain people won't chat with certain people? here in Babble? unheard of
those who choose not to chat are not 'lurkers.' i frequently have nothing to share, and I'm definitely not lurking.
:)
hey all
hey!!
hi stid.
I think that / that is not what molly was driving at Mab
should I start this grid?
I don't know stid.. it doesn't seem too bad
i don't understand then.
Hi stid!
I think she is talking about cliques of some kind
if it's to do with some people not especially liking some others, well, i don't find that surprising.
firefly! was thinking about you the other day! how are you? how are the kids?
I'll start then... thanks.
cliques! I don't even want to know.
exactly..... I understand how she feels.
I am resting off a headache, but mostly well lately. Kids are enjoying the summer storms and all.
i gave that up upon graduating from high school.
anyone have a ce 6/21?
Hi again all, big storms moving through
i haven't any ce words....
Grant loves the summer storms, I am not so fond of them. We drove to St. Helens today and the clouds absolutely wouldn't let us see the summit. But we had a good time anyway.
mab: units of a dollar...
oh that sounds nice stid.
I want to see Helen's again, and show the kids. I went once in high school. Sorry you missed the summit today!
i enjoy storms, if no one is injured and the electricity stays on.
I would like some extended sunshine again. My own energy is flagging considerably without the light.
We'll go again, but maybe wait until we aren't having such unsettled weather.
I enjoy them too but am a bit worried about the power with this one
I agree mab -- the lovely autumn storms that chase us inside but don't cause any real harm are my favorites.
We really need the rain, though
Unsue: I see on the news it's stormy on that side of the states! We've had quite a few over here this year too. I like them!
I found ce 6/21... unit of dollar + Egyptian sun god
I hope you get rain -- and that the land can absorb what you get so it doesn't make floods.
*uusue, darn autocorrect
thanks.
thank you stid
i need the weather to be a bit cooler. the heat has been unrelenting this summer.
yw
NBT and already down to 97. Feels good...
Yes it has been beastly hot here too
And right now we have wind and lightning but no rain. Sigh.
It's been humid the last two days, yuck.
ce 6 - penny and Egyptian sun god
hey BR! lovely icon image... LOL
i feel badly for the farmers of the midwest, losing entire crops.
I agree mab, looks pretty parched on the news I've seen.
Yes, I got all spiffied-up for the picture
The corn around here looks pretty miserable.
love the eyeshadow br
and now... halfway!
a bit of boot black
Oh no sue! I hear prices will rise due to the droughts. Sad.
reminds me of my late uncle fester
It's a good look for you, BR - makes you seem taller.
Go stid!
Hey ruru and Sue. :)
Neil!
HI neil
not everyone can carry off that look.
you back to normal time?
And mab, firefly, stidmama.
Lol @ stid and mab
hi neil
hey neil
I think so... or close to it.
good
it's a tough trip
And my lady is home. :) And facing 8 straight days of work, haha.
8 ? that's great..good for you
She is, not me.
That's why I'm laughing. :P
oh.
Ugh. I just got hit... remind me to hide the screen when I say things like that!
well someone has to pay the piper so to speak
Not nice Neil lol you got your just desserts I see though
Oh yeah... I usually do.
And in solidarity, neil, you will be cooking some lovely meals and doing the shopping and laundry, right? *st5 mama look*
Yep, yep.
I do a lot of that.
I wonder if the Pied Piper sent Hamlin a bill?
:-)
Then he would've been the Paid Piper.
LOL neil and BR!
hi all.
well, I am down to 63 and pretty tired. firefly, so glad you were here today. I miss seeing you!
Hi jes. :)
hey jes!
hi jes! hi everyone
yes, the piper billed hamlin. they refused to pay, that's why he stole all the children.
Or the accounts receivable piper
Ha.
I'll be back later, I hope. (((LBD))) drat. Just as I am leaving all the cool kids show up. (story of my life) see you-all soon. *poof*
hi bye, stiddy
bye, stid
Bye stiddy!
hi firefly!! long time!
Hiya lbdawger!
The reputation of another boyhood hero has now been dashed .... the evil piper
What's new lbd?
The piper was just a hired thug...
working, nothing exciting. hating the heat, but other than that, nothing. how about you?
The piper today likely would be in Congress
or running wall street
piping the uninitiated into a mortgage doomed to be foreclosed
the sheriff is putting them out into the street while the CEO is counting his bonuses
(or her)
lbd, my profile says it all. Besides the stormy summer of course. :)
hola
I shall keep you in my thoughts, firefly .... I hope the ordeal has a happy ending.
Hiya
Thanks BR :) me too
Hello, kje ... how are the flowers doing for your hair?
bloomin

Thanks for the cyber hug :)
oh my goodness firefly! keeping a good thought for you and family. love the names of your daughters.
Thanks and thanks mab!
You could be a character out of the Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood
me?
nah, not a southern gal at all
What's this flower hair stuff??
SF
how wonderful. sf
The Ya-Ya’s caused shenanigans and chaos everywhere, but also had a sisterly bond that could fix anything
honestly, never read it
i've not read that book, but think perhaps i should.
but def could do the shenanigans thing ; )
Sf? Clearly I'm not in the know lol

"If you're going to San Francisco... be sure to wear some flowers in your hair."

Well... this isn't that.

A sea mollusk perhaps harp?

http://www.foodreference.com/html/a-vi brio-070307.html
Thanks much, harp. I don't know about old computer games...but will keep looking.
pretty little cubic thingies that you rotate as they fall?

LOL I just thought of Robic Cube....No that isn't it.
Ugh. You'll see if you email, firefly. Don't want to post that in here.

But it was close : substitute for the second C
