I remember the name, but not much else.

2:29 am

I remember that name from here

2:31 am

she was on the other night and granny and I chatted with her a bit...she hasn't been on for about 2 yrs and I asked why...she said she was diagnosed a few yrs back with stage 4 lung cancer and given a few months to live....she's still going thru treatment

2:31 am

oh, how horrible, poor dear

Wow, she must have good docs and be a great fighter. How is she doing now?

2:31 am

she used to play he4 every night...lives in montreal

thank you for the 8 plus about 6 other words I found whilst looking for it!! please could I have a clue for the lower of the two Ds.

I think dh 5/14 d + where a ground hog lives... down his ....

so glad she made it back he4; what time of day / eve did she come in?

thank you - i would never have got that one.

2:33 am

de6, de + heavy metal

I think diz or une told me, yw

2:34 am

de5, de4/6 + sometimes vowel

2:34 am

she came in right after you left.....still having a hard time...she came over about the same time i did from tangle (when they shut the site down)

awww, I do remember her now...

2:34 am

i always called her justy...and westford westy lol

justmar1... maybe

2:35 am

yep

I hope she continues to come in.

2:36 am

mar are her real initials...kind of like mrp are hers too

If she is in Montreal, would she be the same time as we are now?

2:36 am

same time as you...not me

you are one hour behind me now?

2:37 am

237 am now he4

2:37 am

2:41 am

ah, I have been in Denver - but many, many years ago

2:41 am

volley is the real nightowl :)

2:41 am

whe i go to St. John's...they flip at 230 am....that is real tough

wish I weren't... would mean I had a normal sleep schedule :)

2:41 am

when I visit Toronto, I am seldom up at flip

2:42 am

me too volley

2:42 am

I'd never make the St. John's Flip

2:42 am

when i was in california for vacation..it was great...flip at 10 pm and you were usually done by midnight

2:43 am

he4 we flip at midnight and done by 2am...volley flips at 1am and usually done by 3am

That would be nice.

2:43 am

once in a while I finish at night, more often am working on it next day

2:43 am

you really are night owls

2:44 am

if i leave it for the next day...probably forget it and ruru would like that

yep... just don't want to keep my hubby awake with my tossing and turning... try to give him several hours of uninterrupted sleep

lol dart

well, I am off til the flip; have a nice rest all *poofing with hugs*

2:45 am

many times my wife goes to bed before 945 or 10 pm...i can't do that...so i give her a break from any snoring and she gets at least 4 hrs of good sleep

2:46 am

goodnight Dee, sweet sleep and thanks again for list

similar situations, dart. You are quite welcome, sweet flosey!

4:00 am

good morning all... or none ;)

4:04 am

and since internet is not valid, neither is chog

4:05 am

hi sprite, I'm slogging along

4:05 am

hi rbud :) Is it a tough one today?

4:06 am

not sure, haven't tr5 very hard yet. Starting to look back for Dee's lists in chog now.

4:07 am

but I have 143 with not too much effort so far.

4:07 am

ok :) I am still working on the dratted K. 3 left to find.

4:07 am

now one left

4:07 am

good morning

4:08 am

hi ruby :)

4:08 am

hiya, ruby! :)

4:08 am

{{sprite}}??

4:08 am

{{rbud}}

4:08 am

you two still here?

4:08 am

lol... what's with the question marks?

4:08 am

I have 20 minutes to myself

4:08 am

I just arrived. One K to go before I can start playing

4:09 am

I thought you might have left. I usually come into babble just after everybody has left

4:10 am

my Ruffino has a new trick. After hs walk, he pretends to be Ruby, acts very passive and gets into HER leash and then behave like her (well-behaved, docile) on her walk and Burt doesn't realize. Is that a smart dog or what?

4:10 am

yayyyyy! Ks killed.

4:10 am

awwwww

4:11 am

wow, he is a doggy genius!

4:12 am

I think it's a hoot!

4:12 am

skat

4:12 am

sorry :(

4:12 am

there she goes, talking trash :)

4:13 am

(smarter than his mom!)

4:18 am

took my dear old mom to the grand opening of a JoAnne's fabric store nearby today, wore her out. The place was crowded, knew it would be, but she wanted to get out of her little place for a bit, so off we went.

4:19 am

rbud is a good daughter

4:19 am

redate

4:19 am

it is better to feel worn out and satisfied, than relatively energised and frustrated, rbud. Good job!

4:19 am

she bought only 3 pieces of plastic canvas, I bought nothing (lines for material cutting were unreal) - so a 40 mile round trip for that, lol!

4:19 am

<-- can't play and chat bad nel

4:20 am

lol rbud. But it is really important to get out. I think you did a very lovely thing for your mum.

4:20 am

but you had time to talk in the car -- very valuable

4:20 am

she says she's too tired for church in the AM now, oops!

4:21 am

so... she can pray indoors. And say thank you God for my sweet daughter and a fun trip.

4:21 am

yes, it was nice. Though I heard the same worrisome story several times. (bank changed hands, she's worried about her money and direct payments going through)

4:22 am

they assured her nothing has changed, but she still frets. Ah, well.

4:23 am

ah I can imagine. Must be scary. Asks for a lot of patience, I bet, but I can imagine she worries.

4:23 am

she's 82 and about 4 ft 10 in tall, almost a foot shorter than me. Little old Ma. :)

4:23 am

aw sweet :) Quite a respectible age, rbud!

4:24 am

careful what you say about shorties! I used to be 5'1" -- not any more!

4:24 am

don't start... I am shrinking already and I am 'only' 46!

4:25 am

explain to me: oops is valid but eeks is not?

4:25 am

it was a big event, she's almost never out after dark, lol - told her I'd have to come take her around to see Christmas lights in a couple of weeks when they've put up more of them, she likes that.

4:26 am

oh yes :) You rock, rbud.

4:26 am

may I come along? that's something I miss in France. They don't do lights like in NY

4:28 am

the town's main street is already pretty well decorated, we looked that over tonight. They have all gotten together this year and put a string of the same color along the top of every single building on the street, pretty cool.

4:28 am

consider coming to the netherlands one year, ruby. It is amazing here in some places. Some villages here are all in lights, for kms on end.

4:28 am

that sounds lovely

4:29 am

all they do here is line the church steple with white lights and put up small starry displays on some of the lampposts

4:30 am

hmmm, son is back in the house, he's excited, going to be going off to the next state with a friend to a job and maybe a life, lol. I'll miss him, but he's 21, it's about time.

4:31 am

{{rbud}} with emptying nest....

4:31 am

oh wow. Good for him! Exciting and a bit lonely for you maybe *hug*

4:32 am

funny how I still think of him as a kid, and yet by that age I myself had been married, divorced, moved across the country a couple of times...

4:33 am

true. I was living on my own at 16, which is my son's age now.

4:34 am

see you later, kids, that was a quick 91 but no nbts or 8's

4:34 am

*poof*

4:34 am

bye ruby

4:34 am

night ruby! (((hugs)))

4:34 am

and if my son would say he would move out, I'd tell him he is definitely too young

4:35 am

it will be considerably quieter without him and his entourage around.

4:36 am

I can imagine. Will you miss that, enjoy it, or both?

4:36 am

these are different times, harder to find work and little cheap places to live like we could back then, or it seems that way to me.

4:36 am

yes, I think that is true for here as well

4:37 am

Oh, it'll be nice, but hopefully he'll stay in touch and visit often.

4:37 am

phone and mail and maybe FB or something like that... should work. Visiting from another state... maybe not that often?

4:38 am

Just want him to stay out of trouble! he seems to finally be settling down a bit - thank goodness.

4:38 am

from your mouth to God's ear, rbud

4:39 am

he and his dad were at odds for so many years, they've been getting along pretty well lately, so that's good.

4:40 am

and he went through a big drunk phase, and has decided it's not such a good thing, yay.

4:40 am

yay!

4:41 am

if he manages to make it to work every day, that alone will be a big thing, he's a terrible night owl like me. Maybe they have a late work shift, he'd do well with that.

4:43 am

sounds good

4:43 am

now if I could just get our daughter to get a job again... sigh... she'll be 25 in January and seems quite content back here at home.

4:44 am

but at least she and her boyfriend are quiet types!

4:44 am

sounds like it is high time for her to move out and start taking care of herself?

4:45 am

oh, she did, and had a job, but then their housemate left and they couldn't afford the place, so here they are. still. but they mostly stay upstairs out of our hair, lol.

4:45 am

:)

4:46 am

and she helps with Grandma often, too, which is nice. Taxies her around to the store and doctors' appointments, etc.

4:47 am

that is nice

4:48 am

Mom's the only grandparent left, my dad and husband's parents are all gone, so we all kind of keep a close eye on her.

4:48 am

might end up with her living here too, who knows?

4:49 am

that is so nice. Like old times. Several generations in one house. If you can... wow.

4:52 am

well, it would have been simpler if I hadn't had to move into the back room so we can redo the front bedroom. now our plans don't really include making it back into a bedroom again, we'll have to see how it all works out. Maybe the old kitchen could be her room for a while, once we move it into the next room.

4:53 am

long story, lol

4:53 am

I cannot find either Y. Are they obvious or not?

4:53 am

morning all

4:53 am

ya4 - big hairy beasts

4:53 am

hiya Glant :)

4:54 am

ye4 - like yi5 to give way but remove a letter

4:54 am

bottom one is ye4, not a word I'm familiar with, monkeyed it

4:54 am

ah! Thank you Glant for the ya.

4:54 am

hi Glant

4:55 am

and for the ye! Got them both now.

4:55 am

hi rbud

4:55 am

I still need 5 of those dratted K's, lol

4:56 am

i need 4 of the dratted Ks too

4:56 am

two start with ky, do you have those?

4:56 am

all mine are KE

4:56 am

and two start ka.

4:57 am

ah! one less. found a ka4, that makes two of those so far.

4:57 am

i have the ky & ka

4:57 am

one ke5/6 combo

4:57 am

that's one i'm missing

4:58 am

do you want a clue?

4:58 am

me, too

4:58 am

please

4:58 am

found it

4:58 am

k + border, rim. And past tense.

4:58 am

lol... asking is finding!

4:58 am

like a slice of cake beginning with k

5:02 am

hello everyone

5:02 am

hi Annie Annie Annie :)

5:03 am

hi spritey, spritey, spritey :)

5:04 am

*grins* How are you today, Annie?

5:04 am

My car got seawater in it but I am able to drive it, steam comes out of the tailpipe so I am bringing the car to a mechanic. I hope it can be saved. Otherwise, I;m okay.

5:05 am

and how are you, dear sprite?

5:05 am

I am so glad! Was a bit worried about you. But someone on FB said you were ok.

5:05 am

*keeps fingers crossed for Annie's car*

5:06 am

I am ok. Therapy is very taxing atm, but rewarding, so that is a good thing. And my son is being very teenagerish, which is a bit of a problem. But otherwise, all is well here.

5:06 am

I was away for 16 days at my daughter's home..there are huge generators here supplying us with power. People keep saying this neighborhood looks like a war zone

5:06 am

it's great to have you back on Babble

5:07 am

very glad you were safely at your daughter's home then. Is your house ok?

5:07 am

Thank you so much, sprite, I missed Babble very much. Glad to be home and with my Babble friends.

5:07 am

you were missed!

5:08 am

My apartment is okay but there was 6 feet of seawater in the cellar where the transformers are and they are gone. So no electricity, water or heat without the generators.

5:09 am

sounds like an expensive thing to fix

5:10 am

The talk is if the wires and transformers have to replaced the cost is 5 million per building and there are 5 buildings. I shudder to think about it.

5:10 am

oh dear. That is massive!

5:11 am

The buildings are massive. 23 stories and 3 sections to a building. I find it overwhelming but I am not an engineer.

5:12 am

me neither. Wouldn't know where to start.

5:12 am

I walked down 24 flights of stairs in pitch dark with a flashlight.

5:12 am

omg... and you lived? ;) That is something.

5:13 am

Not only did I survive but I was carrying luggage (Bobby helped). We knew we would be gone a while.

5:14 am

how was it for Bobby? Lots of change and stress, could he handle it?

5:14 am

I feel grateful. Staten Island was devastated and parts of Long Island too. People lost everything.

5:14 am

how did you get out of the area? di someone pick you up?

5:14 am

*did

5:15 am

He took it well. He was with his sister, nephews and brother in law so he was okay. My daughter came and got us.

5:16 am

oh, that's good, I know the public transit was a mess.

5:16 am

that is wonderful.

5:17 am

I spent a day and a half without water, no hot or cold, no heat and no electricity. I said enough so I left. I was in a mandatory evacuation area. I was supposed to leave 3 days prior but I thought I could stick it out but I couldnt. Thanks goodness for Liz

5:17 am

yay for Liz!

5:17 am

Public transit was halted for days, I dont know how people got to work w/o cars.

5:19 am

it must have been hellish

5:19 am

Pres. Obama was on Staten Island to visit the ruins. He also came to Brooklyn and went on to Long Island. Far Rockaway is still in very bad shape.

5:19 am

Seems like it almost went better for folks in NY than it did for New Orleans, but I can't help but wonder how many stories have yet to be heard.

5:20 am

he starts his next period with quite a challenge

5:21 am

It will take months but we will get through this. I think it went better for NY because NY is more prominent. In Staten Island the Moore family lost both their babies..they were swept away. Awful, awful.

5:22 am

Yes, the President starts his second term with a very full plate.

5:27 am

omg... oh that is horrible :(

5:37 am

fireflies. Good one today!

5:37 am

YAY for sprite!!!

5:37 am

*hugs* to you all. Have a lovely day and/or a peaceful evening.

5:38 am

You too, sprite

5:39 am

has everyone else got the two ei 5/12's that are exactly the same or is it just me?

5:40 am

I have one ei 5/12

5:41 am

is that the duck one?

5:41 am

yes

5:41 am

must be just me then that its given two to

5:42 am

I dont have a list. The only ei I have is the ei 5/12

5:43 am

it might help if i looked properly, its ei 5/12 and el 5/12, lol my bad

5:43 am

aha

5:48 am

(((ANNIE))) so glad to re4 that you are okay!

5:49 am

(((Dawg))) Glad to be back and great seeing you

5:49 am

been up since 1:30. had an incident this morning...truck drove into our garage.

5:50 am

OMG, what a way to wake up..much damage? everyone Okay?

5:51 am

fortunately, the garage is detached...more so now. cars--can't get in to see all the damage.

5:51 am

ei 4 and ei 5.... only 2 of them

5:54 am

I wonder if the driver of the truck had been drinking? Did he stay?

5:54 am

nope, he ran or they ran. more than likely drunk, sad to say that's a common status of young bucks around here.

5:56 am

they left the scene of an accident. will not bode well for them. meanwhile, you have all this aggravatiion.

5:56 am

i just hope they have insurance and the truck wasn't stolen.

5:56 am

Hi there everyone!

5:57 am

hi gramma

5:57 am

hello gramma

5:58 am

dawg, check with body shops. I'm sure they'll want to look pretty driving around stoned.

5:59 am

well city and mhp cops are alerted. and we'll just have to wait and see.

6:00 am

we live in the county but the road in front of our house is city, so there are three agencies on alert, city, county and highway patrol.

6:00 am

dawg, hope this clears up soon and insurance will have to pay to get your garage and cars repaired.

6:01 am

already put in an initial claim with my insurance company. waiting to hear back from them.

6:01 am

Where I live the police are too busy with traffic violations to bother with crime. (At least they think they're too busy)

6:02 am

the poor trooper that responded had been up for over 23 hours. the man was dead on his feet! short handed due to the state rivalry game in Missoula.

6:02 am

dawg, then an adjuster will come out and assess the damage.

6:02 am

herin is in the grid today

6:03 am

I just hope it's later today and we don't have to wait til Monday.

6:03 am

haven't seen herin in ages.

6:04 am

We had our copper pipes stolen from our house. What a nightmare! Expensive to replace also. The police were called in and they didn't have a clue. So we called salvage/junk buyers. On our second call, the man said he knew who it was.

6:05 am

lucky for you gramma.

6:05 am

Good luck to you. BBL

6:05 am

I have to get ready to bring my car to the garage and see if it can be salvaged. See you later. Dawg, good luck with everything.

6:05 am

the culprits here, left the truck in the side of the garage. we know who the owner of the vehicle is, just hope it wasn't a stolen vehicle.

6:06 am

hope your car can be salvaged, Annie. and thanks.

6:06 am

later, gramma

8:30 am

howdy scrabby

8:31 am

How is everyone?

8:31 am

any day on this side of the dirt is a good one for me:)

8:32 am

agreed. hoping for another beautiful day today - got most chores done yesterday, so i should be able to get out and get some air

8:32 am

nice sunny day today.may go for walkabout with my better half later;)

8:32 am

Fishing much, welki?

8:33 am

I went mountain biking yesterday--10 miles in 37 F degree weather.

8:33 am

But it was sunny and I really did not feel cold.

8:33 am

sounds like a great idea crossy

8:33 am

nope - ice is too thin and the open water is far to cold to flyfish (for me, anyway) - truthfully, had such a crappy season this summer, that i'm finding it hard to get motivated for winter fishing

8:34 am

i would much rather bike 10 miles in 37f than 87

8:34 am

gonna go for a little hike this afternoon myself

8:34 am

I think that is why I endured so well, Crossy.

8:35 am

brrr.....

8:35 am

wear layers, smores, then take one layer off at a time when you are sweating

8:36 am

yeah...I know the drill...just don't like it :)

8:38 am

yup,layers,layers,layers.i have this amazing ski shell i found at the reuse centre.could never afford one brand new but his is like new and does it ever wick away moisture while cutting wind.just wear a sweater and a fleece jacket under and you are good for anything

8:38 am

I did some biking with just a long-sleeve wicking shirt.

8:39 am

crossy, if you have moisture problem while cutting wind, you probably should call the doc :)

8:39 am

lol welki

8:39 am

HAHAHAHAHA

8:39 am

LOL

8:39 am

or wear depends

8:40 am

I am laughing as I re-read Crossy's words.

8:40 am

:-D

8:40 am

on that note scrabby are sling to help with uninary problems a real danger or are they still of use.i see the tv lawyers in the states are circling over these slings now

8:41 am

Sends cross a boxcar of Beano

8:41 am

hi, BR

8:41 am

Hello, welki

8:42 am

;) BR

8:42 am

There is still surgery to help women with incontinence issues, and I think slings are used. I do not want any more abd surgery although I have bladder issues. Five have been enough.

8:43 am

my mrs had a radical hysterectomy years ago and she has been paying for it ever since:(( the pee problem is just one result of that

8:43 am

Same for me

8:44 am

her innards are such a disaster,nobody want to go in and fix anything:(

8:45 am

3 cm mass of the fluid? coating? that used to coat and lubricate her innards that has now calcified

8:46 am

and things pull and tug in there with pain as a result:(

8:46 am

so sorry :(

8:47 am

it is ok smores.now they just talk about pain management and not fixing things

8:47 am

Peritoneal cyst? I had one removed.

8:47 am

been waiting 4 month for a obgyn appt now..

8:48 am

eekk - that is too long to wait

8:48 am

that is one area where we lack.we have one obgyn for a 200 mile radius

8:48 am

things ok now Scrabbler?

8:49 am

this same obgyn was the one that did my beloveds hysterectome.she was in there for 4 hours!

8:49 am

but enough bitching.i hear the cat playing with the pots and pans in the drawer under the stove brb

8:50 am

It took 4 operations to finally remove all optional parts along with ovarian cysts and a peritoneal cyst. I have lots of adhesions causing pain.

8:50 am

lol....silly kittie

8:50 am

hi again all, various doctors and nurses were here but things have calmed down again.

8:50 am

ok,rescued kitten.how is frank today suze?

8:50 am

wow scrabbler, 4 operations

8:51 am

weak and in pain, crossy

8:51 am

things are progressing but it is very slow

8:51 am

is he able to eat anything yet?

8:52 am

yes,he has had a rough go.any time you have to open someone up again,it is a real whallp on the patient

8:52 am

he tried yesterday but too much gas, he is getting bloated again, so the only thing he is getting by mouth is the occasional ice chip

8:53 am

It sucks to recover from surgery, Sue. Exhaustion, pain, loss of control.

8:53 am

indeed, and he's had two major abdominal surgeries in six days, I can't even imagine what that must be like

8:54 am

So many drugs in the system--anesthetics, pain meds, anti-nausea meds...

8:55 am

plus the TPN...

8:55 am

Loss of sleep too---> life becomes a blur, time is suspended, ....

8:56 am

indeed - and now we are even more anxious before since he's already gone south once

8:57 am

After abd/pelvic surgery there is always the risk of bowel obstruction from adhesions, whether within days or years.

8:57 am

gas pain + nausea = panic on Sue's part :-/

8:58 am

One of the concerns Frank must deal with is thinking in terms of recovery

8:58 am

remember that the pain is from skin, muscle, other tissues being cut, torn, stretched and sewn

8:58 am

yes, we have been talking about that - I keep telling him that he is healing even when it doesn't feel like it

8:59 am

he may be developing an ileus again, they are talking about maybe re-inserting the nasogastric tube - would be his fourth - after surgery itself probably his least favorite thing

8:59 am

well, that and the ostomy bag, which he doesn't have any more, thank goodness

9:00 am

The narcotics contribute to ileus, as does the surgery itself.

9:00 am

hehe on a off topic for a second.been playing words with friends for exactly one day and now have 15 games going at once:) with wwf,babble and bookworm adventures all going at once,i think i have entered the hopeless beyond redemption wordie group

9:01 am

exactly, but he needs the narcotics, and he certainly needed the surgery. Sigh. It's been a tough couple of weeks.

9:01 am

poor frank:((

9:01 am

and of course all of this is postponing the chemotherapy, another concern...

9:01 am

Someday he will look back on this and be amazed at how tough he was.

9:02 am

ileus scrabby?

9:02 am

damn chemo...

9:02 am

Name that planetarium

9:02 am

I play Scrabble and Lexulous, but not WWF. The interface (colors, busy-ness of site) are too stimulating for me.

9:02 am

indeed he will, scrabs!

9:02 am

Adler!

9:03 am

ileus = bowel muscle being "asleep" and not moving things along.

9:03 am

ask about those chemo pills for him suze.he does not sound like he will be strong enough for iv chemo for a while.

9:03 am

:)) uu

9:03 am

ahh ok ty scrabbs

9:03 am

One hour at a time for Frank. Keep him distracted with music and audiobooks and TV

9:03 am

brb

9:04 am

yes, I have my iPad here with music, and they have cable TV and internet as well

9:04 am

ileus occurs during gastroenteritis too, but is short-term and not dangerous

9:04 am

hadn't thought of audio books, I'll ask him if there's anything he'd be interested in

9:04 am

wish i had that magic wand, sue

9:04 am

me too, welki! I seem to have misplaced it...

9:05 am

meanwhile, does anyone have stats for the bottom y?

9:05 am

Rock Center (NBC) had a feature on the ability of videogames to relieve chronic and acute pain even better than opiates

9:06 am

yes,distract the mind

Gotta agree on that one, sue!

11:26 am

11:27 am

missing 3 c's and running out of ideas - have one ch and the rest cl, so fart

11:27 am

11:27 am

good evening everybody

11:27 am

Sue, sorry to read about Frank. Wishing you both the very best - make sure he east really well, lots of fresh veg to give his body the best vitamins with whoch to figjht the chemo side effects

11:27 am

do you have cl6.33, the one that describes big chunks of dirt?

11:28 am

11:28 am

hi ruby!

11:28 am

ty aloy -- what a silly word!

11:28 am

11:28 am

11:28 am

i'm looking for that one myself

11:28 am

agree, nan.. thought of a "cloudy" day, lol

11:28 am

ch6 - disease & ch5 - southern way of saying small person

11:29 am

Good Sue, I'm sure it will do you a world of good.

11:29 am

Hi Molly

11:29 am

keeping you and frank in my prayers, UU.

11:29 am

Hi Glant

11:29 am

and thanks, glant! Gnetting him proper nutrition once he can start eating again will be a challenge. He's always eaten very well, but between recovery, celiac, Crohn's, and chemotherapy it will be, well, interesting

11:30 am

have the disease, don't know southern dialect for small person though

11:30 am

sort of like the South American country but with the sometimes vowel, nan

11:30 am

alt sp of usual word for small person

11:30 am

Sheesh, twisty piece of dirt...

11:31 am

ty sue and glan - new one for me

11:31 am

The dirty are always twisted : P

11:31 am

missing one i from each tile -- anything unusual there?

11:31 am

worm?

11:31 am

sue, I followed The Plant Programme diet - and had very few side effects of the chemo - the hospital were really surprised at how well i did

11:31 am

LOL

11:32 am

I'll look it up, glant, thanks!

11:33 am

if you can get them to put atavan in the drip, Frank will be less nauseous (or even nor at all)

11:33 am

not*

11:33 am

Thye gave me Zofran to help with nausea but all it did was give me severe constipation - I had no nausea

11:34 am

I was starvingly hungry all the time

11:34 am

the people we've talked to who have had chemotherapy for colon cancer recently have reported very few side effects - no nausea, no hair loss

11:34 am

small person = young person

11:35 am

side effects vary from chemo to chemo

11:35 am

depends which substances they use/combine

11:35 am

and from person to person; nutrition will be very important whatever the side effects are

11:35 am

Is anyone amazed and angry that we have to tell the doctors how to treat us? Infuriating. I worked with doctors for 30 years and there's one thing I remind everyone: You know what they call the guy who finished last in medical school? DOCTOR.

11:35 am

I kept thinking my hair wouldn't fall out, so didn't cut it, and it all fell out in one day

11:36 am

brb.. laundry too today, oh joy, oh jubilation

11:36 am

my oncologist was really frustrated with me all the way through chemo because I kept asking questions LOL

11:36 am

well, his hair has been falling out anyway, so no big deal there (although he doesn't want to lose his moustache)

11:36 am

Is this Thanksgiving in the US?

11:36 am

Thanksgiving is this coming Thursday, nan

11:36 am

Yes, cy---Thurs.

11:36 am

This coming Thursday, Nan

11:36 am

It's Thursday Cyber

11:36 am

I "shopped" my chemo protocol which was designed by an oncologist in Boston, even though I was in Miami

11:36 am

and at the end he said, see i'd have answered all your questions today. I said I needed the answers when i asked the questions, not at the end of chemo

11:37 am

oh -- so last Fri was shopping madness?

11:37 am

No, the Friday after Thanksgiving

11:37 am

Unfortunatly, the goverment here chose shopping over the celebration of harvest as it is in Canada.

11:37 am

all the medical staff here have been very accommodating of our questions all along; the surgeon actually gave us a copy of the pathology report

11:37 am

Heym Glan, it is your body and you should ask anything you want and they should be happy to answer. Problem is, sometimes you ask a question they don't have the answer to and that makes them insecure---poor babies.

11:37 am

that's good Sue

11:37 am

Thanksgiving is the 4th Thursday in November.

11:38 am

they just wanted to 'take care of me', they didn;t want me to make any decisions about what might be best for me

11:38 am

Good for you, sue. You got a good one.

11:39 am

probably helps that Frank and I are both well-educated and pretty smart (not that I am tooting my own horn)

11:39 am

I don't think you can fight cancer without being involved in the fight :-)

11:39 am

So if you can't make decisions about your own body, who's supposed to do it? I'd rather have all the information I can get so I can make informed choices.

11:39 am

agreed Mimic

11:39 am

and we are in a university town so they are probably used to that anyway

11:40 am

I think the Internet is driving doctors crazy because patients know much more today than in the past

11:40 am

Actually, it's two things, a different type of physician plus reimbursement is now directly tied to patient satisfaction...great motivation for MD's to be better about answering questions...

11:41 am

One NP at my cardiologist's office actually told me to stop looking things up on the internet because it would confuse me----never saw HER again.

11:41 am

good for you, mimi!

11:41 am

help with re 5/16. the word after to do over

11:41 am

firing a doctor can be very satisfying!

11:42 am

My doctor is fine---has been treating me for free since I have no insurance. But that nurse HAD to GO!!!

11:43 am

re*** steady go

11:43 am

color again, matches

11:43 am

I have a kind of checklist when I go to a new doctor. If he/she doesn't pass that "test," adios!

11:44 am

11:44 am

I'm back to say thank you. I had an email saying someone had anonymously upgraded me to Pro status. I'm so touched I'm tearful. Kind of feel like Blanche from Streetcar---the kindness of strangers, though youu guys no longer feel like strangers. To my anonymous benefactor, again, thank you. You have made my day and even my week!!!!

12:07 pm

Going to work on that profile!

12:07 pm

12:09 pm

that's babble land for you, Mimi. lots of good caring people here.

12:11 pm

Howdy, all. Oh, mimi - it's so nice to hear you were upgraded. There is nothing more warm and cuddly than Babble benevolence.

12:12 pm

12:25 pm

BBL - 100 left

12:29 pm

good afternoon all

12:29 pm

Smores, could you try to access my profile? Not sure if I got it right.

12:31 pm

can't access the profile - should work by clicking on your icon

12:31 pm

That's what I thought....I entered and updated and even put a picture up. Am I just stupid or what? I logged out and back in, too. Duh!!!

12:32 pm

try refreshing your account page right after you add the picture? I think that works for me, anyway

12:33 pm

but I can access your profile by clicknig your "pink purse" as some call them, lol

12:33 pm

*clicking

12:35 pm

go into your account - do you have a check mark in the box in upper right hand corner that says Show My Profile

12:45 pm

Yes, and I checked it. Also tried to upload a picture but it wasn't formatted correctly. I created a flicker account but it changed my log in name. Want it to be MimiCat without the 42. Will keep working on it. Will look for a picture that will be accepted and try refreshing. Thanks, teach!

12:45 pm

tr 7/36 ??

12:46 pm

yaa for mimi! yes babble is unique.many people have been gifted a pro subscription diring the 4 years i have been playing.babble players are amazing!

12:48 pm

really, I can see your profile, Mimicat, just not your picture.

12:48 pm

for your picture it needs to be in a jpg or gif format - i choose clip art that is already in that format - have never used flicker so don't know about that

12:49 pm

crossy has no problem using pre made gif,s

12:49 pm

yes, i can see your profile if i click on your pink purse

12:49 pm

i used several wolves in the beginning,but now i am happy with this one and do not see myself changing him any time soon

12:51 pm

me either, in fact I have on occasion driven some babblers to distraction by using moving gifs in here, you can do it if they are 32 x 32 pixels to start with. but some folks say it bothers them to see moving things in chat.

12:51 pm

uked should be a word. "After I harped and pianoed, I uked."

12:51 pm

lol!

12:51 pm

lol@uked

12:51 pm

heh heh... son just came in ..asked what i was listening to... said it sounded like an old cartoon.. danger lurking....... i am listening to mozart's requiem

12:52 pm

What is the pink purse? If I click on my profile generic picture, shouldn't the profile come up? I'll try clip art for now, rbud. Back soon.

12:52 pm

the pink purse is just a joke name for the little head with a pink shirt next to your name

12:53 pm

it should come up if you click on your icon (picture) but it isn't - the purse is the symbol to the right of your name and to the left of the flag

12:53 pm

see, some have blue "purses", some have gray ones...

12:53 pm

ty rbud,was wondering about the mysterious "pink purse" thought i was losing my mind

12:53 pm

I've heard folks call it that over the years, thought it was kinda funny. ;p

12:54 pm

looks like a toque with a pom pom on top

12:56 pm

you know, you're right, crossy, it does look like a little hat to me now, thanks for the change in p.o.v., lol!

1:00 pm

if the world can see a picture 300 different ways,trust crossy to find a 301,st way

1:06 pm

A profile will only come up when you click on the icon picture if there IS an icon picture. If not, you have to click on the male/female, pink/blue icon.

1:07 pm

OK, at least my "words of wisdom are there." Will keep trying for a picture it will accept. Thanks, all.

1:08 pm

3:43 pm

oh dear, hope insurance covers it Annie

3:43 pm

oh Annie - I didn't know ((hugs))

3:43 pm

all the necessary things we take for granted

3:44 pm

flosey, nope, it is an old car and I dropped colision years ago

3:44 pm

In all my years living in the Rockaways, I never thought anything this bad woul happen

3:44 pm

The Rockaways are in bad shape

3:45 pm

Allmost all the stores near the ocean are closed and damaged

3:45 pm

Annie, I saw a video of what happened in Brooklyn and it was intense. It includes one of the explosions that led to massive power failures.

3:45 pm

The very worst that ever happened was the bay and the ociean met. But the water wasn't that deep. A lot of nursing homes were on the boardwalk

3:45 pm

Molly, that explosion happened in Manhattan and Con Ed fixed it in a few days

3:46 pm

monkeyed that re6/24, unknown one would think normal in sheep country

3:46 pm

Actually, when we were in hawaii at a lu'au, the couple at our table was from Rockaway-just devasted. I felt so bad for them..

3:46 pm

A lot of nursing homes are still there

3:46 pm

I saw the video too! Posted it on my wall. Scary.

3:46 pm

re7/36 please?

3:47 pm

past tense Cos

3:47 pm

I hope this area is okay by the summer

3:47 pm

oh I have that already.. ugh thanks lol

3:48 pm

Yeah Annie, my mistake. It was Manhattan.

3:48 pm

No big deal.

3:48 pm

And it looked like Bermuda in the midst of the worst hurricane ever.

3:48 pm

a-sk finito, gonna take a break before the wall of st..brb

3:48 pm

Was Katrina worse than Samdu

3:48 pm

bye jill

3:49 pm

Katrina had many more deaths

3:49 pm

is the tr7/32 a pt?

3:49 pm

FEMA did well this time.

3:49 pm

The problem with this recent storm is that it hit areas that were in no way prepared to deal with what the storm brought.

3:50 pm

no, not pt

3:50 pm

no cos think old fashioned sewing machine, non electric

3:50 pm

There was no "Your'e doing a good job, Brownie." Makes my blood boil

3:50 pm

I bet there are plenty of shore dwellers who will rebuild in the same spot

3:50 pm

well I mean to say FEMA did better than they did in Katrina

3:50 pm

ty for tr7 :)

3:51 pm

what are the 8's

3:51 pm

FEMA was here a week later

3:51 pm

One more 7 left and its a tr7/36 hmmm

3:51 pm

yw cos, the other tr7, change second vowel to cons.

3:52 pm

they sound the same

3:52 pm

ST 8/55 and IN 8/40

3:52 pm

(wouldnt know how they sound lol but ty got it)

3:52 pm

They didnt care what happened to the people in New Orleans

3:52 pm

ty teach

3:52 pm

ah they do look the same if you mouth them tyvm 7's done

3:52 pm

yw cos

3:52 pm

NYC had rich people, NOLA had low income.

3:53 pm

The area of Nola that got hit was the poor folks. Has anyone been watching "Treme"

3:54 pm

I have a good friend in NOLA ansd he was evacuated too but he lived in the rich part of town and they weren't that affected there. just the smell was god awful

3:56 pm

It's hot in NOLA that time of year. No power, AC, must have been unbearable. But, what happened in NYC, NJ was awful too. Most of the people in the Rockaways, except for a couple of wealthier areas, are piss poor

3:56 pm

Oh, there are plenty of low income people in New York.

3:56 pm

Oh I didn't mean to imply there weren't

3:57 pm

Coney Island is really poor, lots of projects

3:58 pm

New Orleans has plenty of rich folks too. Ala The Garden District.

3:58 pm

teach, listening to a Blue Grass show from WV, but it's over :-(

3:58 pm

But, Katrina didn't hit them as hard, right?

4:00 pm

I don't think it matters if you have money or not when you get flooded - it is all quite devastating - especially emotionally.

4:01 pm

someone at the door, be back later

4:01 pm

well of course it helps if you have money behind you - but you get my drift

4:01 pm

When you are hit hard and have money you can afford to go elsewhere where this power, etc. If not, you're stuck in the dark

4:04 pm

And fireworks for me.

4:04 pm

my last word - the blue thing above us all with pt

4:04 pm

Congrats Zooz!

4:04 pm

There were sick elderly people in the high rises that had no place to go. Even Coney Island Hosp. was evacuated.

4:04 pm

WTG, Lynxxx!!

4:05 pm

YAY for lynxxxie!!!!

4:05 pm

6:55 pm

I wanted to clarify that I'm a mimi (grandmother) and my first name is Cathy---there you go---MimiCat.

6:55 pm

yvw mkg :)

6:55 pm

I thought the cat part had to do with your love of cats :)

6:56 pm

okay; I think I've seen you before as mimicat; but never the MimiCat42

6:57 pm

I know--kind of works out, doesn't it? Good thing they didn't have email when I was raising great apes or I might have been MimiGorilla!!

6:57 pm

LOL!

6:58 pm

lol...you raised apes

7:00 pm

Yep. Gorillas, Orangutans and Chimps. It's like the three sides of human personality: Gorillas are the best we could possibly be, orangs can go either way, and chimps are the dark side.

7:00 pm

LOL

7:01 pm

the id, the ego, and the superego?

7:01 pm

Wow! I thought you were teasing us. How did you do that?

7:01 pm

You gotta write the book Mimi

7:02 pm

Hiya Hurshy :)

7:03 pm

hi hurshy. Haven't seen you for a while; how are you doing?

7:03 pm

I was in my 20's and got a job (in Atlanta) with Yerkes Primate Center because I met the director of it while I was working at WSB-TV and he offered me the job since I was studying to be a behavioral psychologist and also had experience raising monkeys at home. During that time I was also singing in nightclubs including the Playboy Club. And that's just the tip of the life iceberg!! Smores, told you I was colorful!!!

7:04 pm

I have to go, spend some time with my girls

7:04 pm

have a wonderful evening all

7:04 pm

Bye, smores and lots of hugs.

7:05 pm

MimiCat; I never thought my life was boring; but compared to that-it definitely has been

7:05 pm

{hug} Mimi - you will have to tell me more tomorrow :)

7:05 pm

Night all :)

7:06 pm

niters, smores

night smores

oh, why did I put that bag of ghirardelli mink chocolate squares down earlier today? I want them!

7:10 pm

then the question is not why but where

7:10 pm

anyway hi people, i'm well thanks nef, just off to bed though, ttfn!

7:10 pm

Mink chocolate?

7:10 pm

niters, hurshy

7:11 pm

I've got my highest total yet, so am quitting while the quitting is good!! Night, all.

7:12 pm

yeah, T O. I haven't heard of that before (but now I'm thinking about chocolate too)

7:12 pm

Chocolate with tiny, feral teeth, Tor.

7:12 pm

good night, Mimi!

hello tor and moll

7:13 pm

Funny, Molly~

i survived two disasters today! i totally deserve that chocolate. and cake, too

7:16 pm

What happened TO?

not counting the food store :D

7:18 pm

Oh I can just imagine what insanity the grocery stores were today.

7:19 pm

<---still has to go to grocery store.. ugh

7:19 pm

hi again all!

7:19 pm

Ru, I suggest you go real early, or real late.

7:20 pm

Costco was nuts yesterday

7:20 pm

hi sue. How are you today; and how is Frank doing?

7:21 pm

hi nef!

7:21 pm

good evening sue

7:21 pm

Frank is healing, slowly (back to almost nothing by mouth)

7:22 pm

I took off for an hour (got friends to come visit) and got my hair washed and cut, feel much more human now :-)

7:23 pm

oh, good. It's so important to remember to care for yourself at times like this

7:24 pm

my dad signed up for the Caring Bridge site, which is kind of cute :-)

7:26 pm

they are giving Frank insulin now, since the IV nutrition seems to be kicking up his blood sugar

7:27 pm

that's nice. I follow my sister's step-grandson on there

7:28 pm

Many months ago I mentioned FaceBook to my dad, but he said he was "not a joiner"; I am actually kind of tickled that he joined the caring bridge site

7:29 pm

it's good he's getting the insulin drip; he'll heal better with a normal blood sugar level

7:29 pm

your Dad must like Frank, I'd guess?

7:29 pm

I think so too.

hi sue.

pc froze :(

7:30 pm

hi, TO!

7:31 pm

and yes, my dad does like Frank (more now than he did when we dated when I was 16 and Frank was 19 :-)

7:34 pm

7:35 pm

he is, TO, taking a nap right now

7:39 pm

Frank and I were engaged just out of high school, nef, but broke up when we went to college (communication being not so good back then), we got back together about 4.5 years ago

7:40 pm

ok, I just totally made up some cl words that turned out to be actual words

7:41 pm

I've heard that sometimes makes it that much sweeter when you fall in love again

7:41 pm

it's pretty sweet :-)

9:20 pm

Hi there MollyL! I am going to Long Island. How about you?

9:20 pm

Hi molly. I'm going to my mother-in-law's. leaving hubby at home.

Hi Mini

9:21 pm

Our clan gathers here on Thanksgiving. We were going to try a buffet at a really nice country restaurant, but didn't get reservations in time.

9:21 pm

we go to a careteria

9:22 pm

Mixi, your husband isn't going to his mother's house?

9:22 pm

no, he has to work.

9:22 pm

he gets to work christmas day too.

9:22 pm

*Feels bad for Jes and Mixi's husband*

Mixi that is a little not fair. When I worked hospitality you had a choice of one or the other Christmas or NYE never both

9:24 pm

My daughter-in-law is an ER nurse, and she has her choice of one or the other.

9:25 pm

he works in computer operations. he works mon-thurs. if it's a holiday, either find someone to cover for you or work. He generally doesn't even ask. (he's the only one on his shift).

9:26 pm

Well I hope he gets extra pay for that.

9:27 pm

he gets paid for the holiday plus time and a half. so two and a half times pay to be bored.

9:29 pm

Shame on his company for not closing on those holidays.

I remember those days doing security. Sitting in a little dog box tweedling my thumbs waiting for deliveries.

9:30 pm

some years ago he didn't have to be on-site.

9:30 pm

Boy, wish I'd been able to sign in last night - I hVW 109 after only 30 minuts, I might've finished the game. So, onward, and upward.

10:52 pm

0bviously, my computer needs more sleep.

11:15 pm

Has anyone heard from Sue today?

11:17 pm

I think she was on this afternoon peach.

11:17 pm

hello from down under.

11:17 pm

Hi there, Rose. How in the world are you?

11:17 pm

hi granny

11:18 pm

Did she mention how Frank is today?

11:18 pm

doing very well, thanx peach. and hey to you, beth

11:19 pm

how are you both?

11:19 pm

Hi there, bethn. Hope all is well with you.

11:19 pm

I believe she said he is very weak, still not able to eat, and his treatment will be postponed till he can get a little stronger

11:20 pm

Rose, I feel better tonight than I have in months. That bout with bronchitis was wicked.

11:20 pm

Doing better, I had a new procedure done on my back this week, and I am just starting to feel like myself

11:21 pm

Good for you, bethn. Sending good thoughts to you.

11:21 pm

are you still on medication peach?

11:22 pm

wtg both of you. i did hydro today with no narcotics on board. think work tomorrow should be okay.

11:22 pm

No, I was on what they call a "z-pack". Powerful antiboitic.....only had to take it for 5 days.

11:23 pm

Good for you, Rose.

11:23 pm

yay Granny! those can do a number on your system

11:24 pm

lol, my first week back, and i have to take thursday off on annual leave as they are closing my unit down for 'electrical' work.

11:25 pm

Need food.....brb.

11:26 pm

well I guess that gives you a chance to ease back gently

11:26 pm

beth, not only your system, but your head. you take them, then wonder do i need them? today i he6 my bets, took them with me, but didn't need them.

11:27 pm

beth, what did you have done to your back?

11:29 pm

They inserted a probe thru the coccyx and used high frequency radio waves to fry the nerves alonb my sacroiliac joint and 4 discs.

11:30 pm

sounds interesting. what do they call the procedure? and, i guess, you have had lower back pain for a while?

11:32 pm

I think it is a barnham synergy procedure. I fell and broke my back 10 years ago. at the same time I wrecked those discs and my SI joint. I have been having pain remediation done for quite a while to make me functional

11:32 pm

it is a new procedure (in the US anyway) only been being done for a year or two

11:33 pm

Saw the posts about Sue and thought I'd let you know she was on today and it's possible Frank will be coming home tomorrow. He still has a problem eating. I think Sue is already tired just anticipating taking care of him alone. She may be able to get home nursing and we encouraged her to do so.

11:35 pm

thanx mimi

11:35 pm

Thanks, Mimi. I, too, hope she gets home help.

11:35 pm

absolutely, if she can get help she should. Being caretakerr to someone so ill is overwhelming. she will be more able to help him if she is not exhausted herself

11:36 pm

Beth, I had a similar problem with my back, have had two surgeries done 12 years ago and still have some problems occasionally. The surgeries were terrible, especially the second where they did a fusion and I wouldn't recommend that. I wish you much luck and if you have any questions, I'm happy to give you my perspective.

11:38 pm

mimi, spinal surgery has come a long way in the last decade. they now do a minimally invasive procedure. patients are up the next day, with no restrictions as to position or activity. i's been amazing to see.

11:38 pm

Hi all!

11:39 pm

Hi, Liz!

11:39 pm

I am avoiding fusion for as long as i can walk mimi. This last procedure was to avoid fusing my SI joint. The life expectancy of that surgery is @ 15 years, and in a woman my age that is not a doer, so we tried this out. I am hoping for good results. It is not permanent, the nerves will regenerate usually about a year, but if it gives me relief then it is a good option

11:39 pm

Hi there, Lizlin.

11:39 pm

hi lizlin!

11:41 pm

I'm sure it has improved. Back problems are very common. The big trap so many, including me, fall into is the pain medication. It can be difficult to break free of it once you get used to taking it. I've been free of the medication for 6 years now and can use Aleve for the occasional flareups. Hey, if they could have zapped those nerves for me, I'd have let them!!

11:44 pm

I cant do the pain meds for more than a day or two, so I pretty much just suffer when it is bad. I do use lidoderm patches when it is really bad, and it k nocks it back to bearable. you just cant use them often or they lose the efficacy so I save them for " special"

11:45 pm

lol, mimi. with you all the way. i prolapsed 9 discs about 32 years ago, was told if i didn't have a fusion i would be in a wheelchair within 5 years. and here i am, still very much ambulant, surviving a total joint replacement, and ready for the next 10 years. rock on!!!

11:46 pm

you go granny!

11:47 pm

awww, beth. i am so sorry it has been so bad for you. i do so hope this latest procedure is the solution. can it be repeated? and if so, how long between?

11:48 pm

Bethn - I just looked at your profile, you're not yet 60, so why is a 15year reprieve not acceptable. By that time, they'll've found another treatment for your problem.

11:49 pm

now, isn't this the strangest thing? we are all within a few years of age to each other.

11:49 pm

I think they will do it every 10- 12 months as needed. anything more than than that is difficult because the recoup can be difficult

11:50 pm

I'm so sorry for you, all of you. But we're women!! and we survive!!

11:51 pm

I love it when I complain about aging difficulties and someone says "beats the alternative" because my answer is "How do you know?" In any case, I've nearly died 3 times already but think God leaves me here because he doesn't need the grief of having me there criticizing how he's doing things!!!

11:51 pm

yay!!! women rock!!! and christine, don't waste your sympathies on me...i'm a tough old bird. but love your sentiments all the same.

11:51 pm

Funny, Mimicat

11:52 pm

The SI joint is not a really good candidate for surgery, there is only the one option, and according to my doc (recommended by the hospital for special surgery) there is only the one surgery as of now and nothing new has been tried in a long time. If they do ot come up with womething better, I do not want to be wheelchair bound at 75

11:52 pm

Keep on fighting those battles girls! We're worth it!!!!

11:53 pm

we used to tell my grandmother that God wasn't ready for her yet and Hell was afraid she would take over!

11:53 pm

lol, mimi. reminds me of what i say about my mum. she's going to be standing at the pearly gates, telling st peter how to take care of them.

11:53 pm

I'm getting a new hip, and another new knee in the New Year - now all I need is a new man, and life will rock, again.

11:54 pm

Until 3 years ago I still sang with a classic rock band so I think I'm doing pretty well. The heart attack earlier this year slowed me down a bit, but I'm picking up steam monthly!!!

11:54 pm

go mimi

11:54 pm

are they doing them at the same time, or will they space them?

11:54 pm

Sounds like a fun life Mimi - hope you'll get back to it in some for m or other!

11:55 pm

Hey, Christine, you're more optimistic than I am. I am now officially done with the male companion part of my life. After being married 23 years I'm actually thrilled to be living alone with my cats!!

11:56 pm

beth, can you get some 'pain away' arthritis relief cream? i use it on sore tendons, muscles AND joints. the web site is www.painaway.com.au

11:56 pm

I told my (grown) kids I love them all but never want to live with any of them ever again! Sold the big house and told the kids, "Pay attention--Mom now has a one-bedroom apt. and nobody's coming home!"

11:56 pm

arnica cream or gel is also good for arthritic pain

11:57 pm

I didn

11:57 pm

nan, pain away has arnica in it

11:58 pm

T have much luck with that one granny, I have tried just about every rub, cream ointment, holistic remedy on the market.

11:58 pm

Hey, ladies, they can slow us down but they can't stop us!!! Good night, all.

11:58 pm

anyway -- hi everyone :) - checking in for the flip :)

11:59 pm

night, mimi. sleep well hun

11:59 pm

Oh, MimiCat - I've been divorced longer than the rest of the world has been inhabited. Most of the time, I'm more than glad to come home to my own place.
