2:48 am

i wish you 'girls' had been here this AM. i knew today was going to be quite warm, consequently, was up , doing dishes, washing and writing shopping lists very early. called out to don that lists were written...he said 'so?' and he was dumbfounded when i expected him to go out before 9am to do the shopping.

2:50 am

well done Don, I say. Who's awake at 9am? You can still taste the toothpaste.

2:52 am

hey, dachef...who rattled your chain? LOL being a male i would expect you to back don.*giggle*

2:53 am

damn right. ;)

2:53 am

Hi again. Glad that work went so well you sound appreciated Rose.

2:54 am

sorry, had a telephone call. Silly Don. A very good time to go shopping. Everything still quiet, it is quick and practical, and nobody minds him smelling of toothpaste.

2:54 am

Hi Liz

2:55 am

Hi sprite

2:55 am

ok, the phonecall was from a friend who is not feeling very happy... she wants to go for a walk with me. So I am off for now. See you guys later, and if not, have a lovely day and/or a peaceful evening.

2:55 am

9 is good to go shopping if its not me

2:55 am

Have to speak up for the blue handbags every now and again. Whilst I admit that there are many places on this earth that could do with a LOT less testosterone in them, the babble chog isnt one of them!

2:58 am

rofl....you are an amazing group to be a part of....love and hugs to you all

2:59 am

and now my wonderful hubby has put dinner in front of me....i'm outta here. happy babbling to all.

3:00 am

Enjoy dinner :)

3:00 am

well done Don...again! Have a nice dinner!!!

3:01 am

good morning

3:01 am

Hi Ruby

3:01 am

aaarg! I missed Rose by 2 minutes!

3:01 am

hi lizlin

3:01 am

hello dachef

3:02 am

hey rubes. She's having dinner, made by a MAN. Just thought that I should pass that on.

3:02 am

I got all excited, thought I saw elipse and elipsed as first two words! :(

3:03 am

not in my lifetime!

3:03 am

My hubby is making dinner now. And he goes to the market at 8.00 on Sunday am every week. I know I'm very lucky :)

3:04 am

my husband does the grocery shopping, so I shouldn't

3:04 am

complain

3:05 am

he can make two thinks, poached eggs and toast!

3:05 am

or even things*

3:05 am

We do the main shop together - joys of early retirement!

3:05 am

see? Men are good really. Now my work here is done.

3:06 am

I'm a great supporter of men!

3:06 am

I wouldn't mind shopping, but he insists on going to the hypermarche which is way too big and much too cold

3:06 am

I just make the lists

3:07 am

and cook, so I thik it's a fair trade-off

3:07 am

Lol - same with ours but that's air con and contrast to outside

3:07 am

Very fair

3:07 am

they keep the whole store the same temp as the coolers; it's awful

3:08 am

:( not nice!

3:08 am

Almost dinner time. Back later. Enjoy your day

3:08 am

done, and gone........

3:09 am

bye lizlin

3:15 am

4:11 am

4:13 am

Hello, sprite.

4:14 am

hello BabbleRabble, am happy to see you. Oh, that reminds me... gonna send you a picture. You might like it :)

4:16 am

OK. Thanks

4:16 am

there... sent :)

4:20 am

Very nice, sprite. I will have to "borrow" it for a few friends.

4:20 am

:) Am glad you like it.

4:22 am

A scientific solution is not one I often resort to.

4:22 am

no, especially not the last one

4:25 am

I think this grid qualifies as a puny one as well, wouldn't you agree?

4:25 am

Not much substance

4:26 am

Never knew puny could be this enjoyable

4:27 am

the re 7/40 is one I might try to use in conversation.

4:28 am

this has gone on long enough .... go to your doctor and get some re 7/40

4:28 am

hmmmzzz... nope, don't have it yet. I have the 9 (smug) but not yet re7. As usual, the re- words are slow in coming. The valid ones, that is.

4:29 am

recipes is a phantom though :)

4:29 am

and relieved too, lol

4:30 am

so is juglandaceous

4:30 am

of course :D

4:31 am

one less letter and a different vowel

4:31 am

ok... monkeys found it. Incredible... very unexpected ending!

4:31 am

bananas for your monkeys

4:32 am

ah... obsolete of course. My monkeys thank you (peeling the bananas upside down and stuffing their mouths)

4:33 am

I can see me asking my doc and asking are you able to provide some re 7/40

4:34 am

:D And he would answer: "Of courso, bro!"

4:34 am

Hahahah

4:43 am

I always want to keep all words in active use. Such a waste, obsolete words.

4:46 am

ah... fireflies. My last word was a lot more drunk than I ever am.

4:46 am

ep 7 plz

4:46 am

good job .... do you agree with the quote in my profile?

4:47 am

hi ivesy! A word or phrase attached to a name. Like Richard the Lionheart.

4:47 am

hi sprite.. ty will work on it..:)

4:48 am

*reading*

4:48 am

let me know if you need more, ivesy :)

4:48 am

morning all :)

4:49 am

Hello, smores

4:50 am

ty sprite, got it!.

4:50 am

hi smores :)

4:51 am

Nicely done, ivesy. Hope your day is going well.

4:51 am

BabbleRabble: it is a bit dark for my taste, but I can certainly relate to the ambiguity. I also agree that animals don't have that problem... all I need to do is watch Terra to see the proof of that.

4:51 am

good job, ivesy :)

4:53 am

Who among us has been told our job is to build death?

4:53 am

I don't agree that we are only an object to eachother, though. I also exist when I am all alone. And I experience a difference between interacting with a real object, or with a person.

4:53 am

hm, not me. But memento mori, yes, that I have been taught.

4:54 am

thanks for the 7's

4:55 am

yvw smores

4:55 am

doing ok here .getting ready for big thanksgiving feast and eating too much.

4:56 am

a little bit of everything, lol

4:56 am

I know my ponderings solve nothing yet I will never understand why beings were place on a revolving sphere without any obvious purpose thant the amusement of the thing that put us here.

4:57 am

rite now have to get ready to go for my blood work for my 3 month checkup... hagd all!

4:57 am

Hope all is well, ivesy

4:57 am

I hope all will check out fine, ivesy. Have a good day too.

4:57 am

Hi and bye ivesy ;

4:58 am

yeah... in kabballah they say that the purpose of creation is for god to learn to know him/her/itself.

4:59 am

I imagine that free will has no role?

5:02 am

I think it does. Seeing how things play out would be a learning experience. Of course, in kabballah everything in creation is a facet or aspect of god. So how it all interacts is the interesting point. Would be useless without free will.

5:04 am

I find it incredible a god needs us lowlies to learn to know him/her/itself.

5:06 am

What could we possibly teach a god?

5:08 am

Being created for God’s pleasure does not mean just made to entertain God or provide Him with amusement. God is a creative Being, and it gives Him pleasure to create. God is a personal Being, and it gives Him pleasure to have a genuine relationship with us.

5:10 am

sometimes I feel that is true, smores. And sometimes I just cannot understand God, especially when it comes to all the suffering I see.

5:11 am

As His creation we also have pleasure, and the pleasure of knowing Him

5:12 am

Agreed sprite, very difficult to understand all the suffering

5:12 am

what could we teach a god? They say we are created in his/her image. So I would imagine it is something like we do, learning about all our inner aspects and how to balance them and make us creative and whole.

5:14 am

Does the god of kabballah have the omnis: Omnibenevolence (God is all-loving) Omnipresence (God is present everywhere in space and time) Omniscience (God is all-knowing, past, present, and future) Omnipotence (God is all-powerful)

5:19 am

On more than one occasion I have gone into a church during the gloaming and yelled at god ... they tell I am evil and surely will go to hell? Yet, what have I done, god, but try to understand. What have I done?

5:19 am

not sure. I am not at all an expert. Looks like it, though, I think it does subscribe to those ideas. But if I am not mistaken, in the kabballah they also say that God cannot be known, and therefore not be defined.

5:20 am

Isn't Kabballh a Judaism school of thought, if so than I would say yes to the omnis

5:21 am

If god cannot be defined than have so many forests been destroyed for the paper used to explain the unexplainable?

5:22 am

whatever people say, it is not what god says. Of that I am certain. People judge and condemn. If there is a god, and I feel there is something that could be called that... it is about love. And not about judgments.

5:22 am

yes, it is, smores.

5:23 am

because people need to define, I think, BabbleRabble. People want to turn what cannot be defined into certainties, because they are scared of uncertainties.

5:23 am

Well, the solution is to have faith and toss the dogma

5:25 am

I do not believe in free will. I cannot conceive of a situation where I can god what you want you will not get.

5:25 am

i can tell god

5:26 am

I think the most basic and important words in all that paper is " God is love.." If we always remember that and try to imitate that we will be o

5:26 am

*ok

5:27 am

I was brought up being told: "Thy will be done." Not mine, god's

5:27 am

<---definately believes in free will

5:29 am

BRB

5:29 am

So, ask and you shall receive? You do not receive because god's will shall be done. We are told we asked for the wrong thing. Why even ask when god's will shall be done

5:31 am

I told a therapist god created the world as its outdoor toilet .... I still believe that

5:31 am

very true, BabbleRabble. Without free will, the whole purpose of creation is lost to me.

5:32 am

smores, I agree. If love isn't the core and essence of God, I don't want anything to do with him/her/it.

5:35 am

sin has an element of intent ... centuries after the original sin, people are born with its taint even though they could not have the intent to commit the sin. We are supposed to be joyous god's son saved us ... but why would be joyous about being saving from a sin we had no part of? Especially since god knew what was going to happen? How ludicrous!

5:36 am

I SO do not believe in the original sin. That whole story is so darn judgemental, it smells of humans to me, and not god.

5:37 am

ok, had to let the cat in and make some coffee

5:38 am

who let the dog out!

5:38 am

errr... the cat in :)

5:38 am

Not me..lol..my dog is snoozin'

5:39 am

nonetheless, jesus is worshiped as our saviour

5:39 am

As you can tell, I have a passing interest in religion. I shall stop

5:39 am

Jesus is definately my saviour

5:39 am

Hell is nigh

5:40 am

I enjoyed the talk, BabbleRabble. I have more doubts and questions than certainties and answers, that is for sure. It is nice to exchange some of them :)

5:41 am

lol..BR 5:29 just it just depends on what you're asking

5:41 am

isn't that in Brave New World... the neon ad for Shell with the letter missing, saying "hell is here" ?

5:42 am

* guess

5:42 am

I can't get into the saviour idea. My heart tells me Jesus was a remarkable person with a deep understanding of love. An example for me. But human. If he had not been human, he could never be an example, because I cannot strive to be divine.

5:43 am

Having early on been told I shall go to hell, I spent many hours thinking about how long eternity is and how I was going to get out of this mess.

5:45 am

you were really dealt a lousy deal there, weren't you? Such a dark way to bring up a child. I am pretty sure hell doesn't want you, BabbleRabble. If I only think of all the times you reached out and helped me or somebody else here, it already shows you to be much too loving and caring to be eligible for hell.

5:46 am

time to find a cosy religion that believes in re-incarnation and doesn't have a hell methinks BR

5:46 am

Good evening to you all

5:47 am

gotta get my kid up...brb

5:47 am

hi and bye lynxx :)

5:48 am

Hi, Lyn, and thanks.

5:52 am

Thanks for listening, sprite

5:53 am

that is what friends are for, BabbleRabble, as you yourself told me. I enjoyed our talk.

5:57 am

time for me to get going, things to be and people to do. I wish you all a lot of light in your day and a peaceful evening. *hugs*

5:58 am

Hi all and bye Sprite - have a good day

5:58 am

6:08 am

enjoyed our chat...

6:09 am

A simplistic version of what I now believe is in my profile

6:12 am

interesting...very positive but.....

6:18 am

If that is what you truely believe great, just from our previous conversations I'm fairly certain you do believe in a divine being...just unfortunately were given a rather grim view of Him as a child.

6:23 am

helloooo

6:27 am

:(

6:28 am

I do not believe in institutional religion. I pray.

6:29 am

I find many insitutional religious people need to be institutionalized

6:29 am

For sure.

6:31 am

Sorry to interrupt but can I have a clue for ep 7 /36 pls - then I'm giving up for tonight!

6:32 am

I think it is great that people find what works for them.

6:32 am

I do attend church - actually I am a Sunday school teacher ( lol ) but I left religion as a teen and didn't go back until my mid thirties

6:33 am

No worries - found it. Good night and enjoy your days.

6:33 am

Hi Crossy :)

7:02 am

morning

7:03 am

Hi Crossy!

7:03 am

Hi Trif!

7:03 am

Crossy, I got the Honda Civic LX

7:03 am

That staircase is the bomb!

7:03 am

and now it is time for crossy,s tidbit of the day!!!

7:04 am

The split-fingered Vulcan salute from Star Trek is derived from an Orthodox Jewish ritual called the Blessing Hands, which is used to anoint congregations on holy days. Leonard Nimoy, whose grandfather was Orthodox, remembered the hand gesture from his childhood visits to the synagogue and borrowed it for his role as Mr. Spock.

7:04 am

very good choice annie.that car will give you reliable service for many years

7:04 am

ooooh! I like this one!

7:04 am

thanks crossy, I am going to pick it up this afternoon

7:05 am

straight lease or byout option?

7:05 am

buyout

7:05 am

straight lease but I will ask about a buyout at the end

7:06 am

like i say,depends how anal they are at turn in time

7:07 am

We will see. Salesman said no money due at end but there is a 1500. allowance for dings

7:07 am

how long is your lease for Annie?

7:07 am

3 years

7:07 am

ok

7:08 am

good cause ours count every boot scuff on the inside door panels and every rub and shopping cart ding on the body..it is terrible

7:08 am

a friend lease a civic for three years and then bought it with no problem

7:09 am

civics are so long lived,i would think you will buy it out at the end of the lease

7:10 am

like my toyota,amost 9 years old now and i have done the brakes once and changed a tail light bulb lol

7:10 am

peri, It is a good option for me. Then I have 3 years to make up my mind. I am really looking forward to having a new car. It has been a long time. I have been buying used cars. I had the totaled car for 10 years and I decided it was time for a new car and a lease sounded more affordable to me.

7:10 am

ahhh,that new car smell..there is nothing finer

7:10 am

I love that smell

7:11 am

that is fine, Annie. I decided to buy my car. whatever works best for you

7:11 am

well,a banded crisp stack of ten grand worth of 100 dollar bills smells nice as well:))

7:11 am

Yankee Candle has that scent now.

7:11 am

I hate parking lots, I try to park far away from other cars but still have some dings :(

7:11 am

bbl

7:12 am

I park in a lot at home so I expect some dings.

7:12 am

i have one bad shopping cart ding on the driver door;((

7:12 am

Bye Peri!

7:12 am

Enjoy your day!

7:12 am

tc peri

7:14 am

I am missing a V. Is there is a strange one?

7:14 am

crossy is having great fun with WWF :)))

7:15 am

morning all!

7:15 am

NM. Damn plural.

7:15 am

suze!!

7:15 am

Hello Uusue!!!!! {{gentle hugs}}

7:15 am

Hi sue, How is Frank?

7:16 am

hi crossy, car, annie!

7:16 am

phantoms: depth and vehicle

7:16 am

Frank is OK; we have to get him eating again. At this point his issues may be as much psychological as anything.

7:16 am

Phantom

7:17 am

Hello BR!

7:17 am

Hi BR!

7:17 am

I am sure they are, uusue.

7:17 am

of course he is still in a lot of pain....

7:17 am

hi BR!

7:18 am

BR, I like your horses and your profile quotes. Very nice.

7:18 am

it must be tough for him,every time he eats now is like playing russian roulette in his mind with his crohns and celiac and hsi surgery sites...:(

7:19 am

Something is wrong with the volume control on my children....

7:19 am

indeed, crossy, also he has a lifelong association with food and pain, and last week's emergency didn't help

7:19 am

missing the off button, car? :-)

7:19 am

It is stuck on 10

7:19 am

oh dear!

7:19 am

lol car.my son has his volume set to 11 and he just pulled the volume knob off and tossed it long ago

7:20 am

It has been going on since yesterday. I am about to lose it.

7:20 am

Grammy is still sleeping....

7:21 am

the bus is on it's way!!!

7:21 am

Praise GOD!

7:21 am

Are you going to Ignite the Nite, Trif?

7:21 am

car want a good idea? walk around for the next day or 2 and speak in a very soft voice.the kids will have to quieten up so as not to miss things and they will soon realize how loud they actually are

7:22 am

yes maam!

7:22 am

Crossy, that would not work at all. They don't do good listening.

7:22 am

Me too! What activity?

7:22 am

I am making a mac & cheese and salad. Do you want to share?

7:22 am

I watching the video with ron.....crap - just realized the girls with be with their dad....

7:22 am

no, it's okay

7:22 am

Grammy is now up.

7:22 am

car, have then put a sock in it for a period of time.

7:23 am

I am doing the exercise/relaxation class with Stacey.

7:23 am

JEALOUS - I wanted to do that too!

7:23 am

Why didn't you sign up for it?

7:24 am

I was going to ask if there was someone who could take over for you for a bit

7:24 am

They will have an activity tonight, so I will have a break. No worries. They are just excited about a mini-vacation this week.

7:24 am

(sorry if that was a non sequitur, car, surgeon just stuck his head in)

7:25 am

No worries uusue!

7:25 am

I felt I should sign up for ron's thing since it goes with the study we are doing in adult sunday school

7:26 am

Well, I shall think of you while I center myself!

7:26 am

anyway all Frank's tests were fine today (blood sugar, electrolytes) so they are turning down the fluids and will transition him to oral pain meds

7:26 am

Go, Frank, Go!

7:26 am

maybe we really will go home tomorrow!

7:26 am

that actually won't work, pet- center yourself!

7:27 am

be ready for a struggle when they transition him to oral meds as well

7:27 am

uusue...I really am enjoying the updates. Each time, I can then focus my thoughts and energy and prayers on what specifically is needed at that time.

7:27 am

bus time!

7:27 am

i grew to love my morphine really fast and i had a time of it

7:27 am

yay for the bus!!

7:28 am

praise god from whom all buses flow

7:28 am

well, we've been through this once already as they almost sent him home last week

7:28 am

god bless the magic bus:)

7:29 am

Sue, has anyone asked Frank if he thinks there is a psychological element to the eating issue?

7:29 am

lol, trif :-)

7:29 am

yes, and he's talked about it, BR, nobody's offered counseling though

7:29 am

may not be available in the hospital

7:31 am

Has Frank been asked in the presence of a doctor if he thinks he would benefit from counseling?

7:31 am

nbt

7:31 am

he has not, BR. He doesn't have a primary doctor, so the surgeon has taken on that role, but the surgeon is pretty busy

7:32 am

name that proper noun: swan from swan lake

7:32 am

the swan from swan lake has a name?

7:33 am

odile

7:33 am

ah, annie is right, and I remember now! good one, you two!

7:33 am

good morning everyone :-)

7:33 am

hi mom!

7:33 am

The surgeon has a nurse who could relay the query and I expect the doctor could write a script

7:33 am

yes annie, but I was actually thinking of the other twin, Odette

7:33 am

(((Mom))) good morning

7:34 am

hi ((uusue))

7:34 am

hi mom!

7:34 am

((Annie)) good morning ...... give us all the details of your new car ...

7:34 am

((Trif)) good morning, so good to see you!

7:34 am

yes, if he has issues today I will press the matter, BR. I am pretty sure there are counselors available at the cancer center, which is next door.

7:34 am

Trif, I dont see either on in the grid so I went with Odile

7:35 am

good to be seen! i have had slightly more time to babble lately, and laptop is back from heaven, so it's all good

7:35 am

((hugs to you and Frank)) uusue

7:35 am

its okay annie - odete is there, which is what made me think of it at all

7:35 am

excellent, Trif

7:35 am

thanks for the good suggestions, BR! I am not thinking as clearly as I might be at this point

7:35 am

Its a Honda Civic LX, gun metal gray and I am picking it up this afternoon.

7:35 am

thanks, mom!

7:36 am

keep your children from the streets this afternoon! Annie is GOING FOR A DRIVE!

7:36 am

I hope you like it as well as we liked ours. We had a civic and Alex still has the accord

7:36 am

you're welcome uusue

7:36 am

yay annie!

7:37 am

off to update CaringBridge, back in a few

7:37 am

I just loved it when I looked at it and it is comfortable inside. I just have to get used to all the things on the dashboard.

7:37 am

7:37 am

7:37 am

7:38 am

7:38 am

7:38 am

Ahhhhhhhh

7:38 am

Good morning BR, I like the sound of that

7:38 am

the sounds of silence descend, eh car?

7:38 am

Hello, Mom

7:38 am

Trif!!!!!

7:38 am

common now,no high heel marks on the ceiling of the new car

7:38 am

7:39 am

7:43 am

And now the TV volume is on 10....

7:44 am

Im getting you ear plugs for christmas

7:44 am

I have to work...earplugs are counterproductive

7:44 am

oh thats right i forgot,you are dating the big burly firefighter eh trif?.go easy on the poor boy

7:44 am

what about those fancy noise cancelling headphone thingies?

7:44 am

lol crossy! he has competition.....

7:45 am

remember he has to fight fires the next day

7:45 am

Even with these big headphones on....I can still hear it.

7:45 am

really TRif?????

7:45 am

bose company make these anmazing noise cancelling headphones

7:45 am

hahaha - yes, after 47 years of being a RIDICULOUSLY good girl, never doing ANY thing I shouldn't over analyzing every single frigging thing, I am working on a new career as the town pump.

7:46 am

NOT REALLY of course!

7:46 am

7:46 am

Hi judi!

7:46 am

7:46 am

I am just kidding car, relax

7:47 am

7:47 am

I have to scoot, lots to do today. ((Hugs)) to all of you

7:47 am

I still think putting a sock in it would lower the volume

7:47 am

you guys, my sister is not amused with my shenanigans. we need to stop now!

7:47 am

No, I am fine with your shenanigans...I say have fun! I just say limit the broadcasting.

7:47 am

its only the CHOG - who can hear me? LOL

7:47 am

Where does one put a sock in a TV, BR? I will try it!

7:48 am

besides, no one takes anything I say seriously! IT's just DATING

7:48 am

But one never knows who is lurking....

7:48 am

http://www.bose.ca/controller?url=/sho\np_online/headphones/noise_cancelling_h\neadphones/index.jsp

7:48 am

opps sorry,should of tiny url,d that

7:48 am

unplug the tv

7:49 am

“THE continuous work of our life,” says Montaigne, “is to build death.”

7:49 am

Then she will be very confused and frustrated that she can't get the TV to work.

7:49 am

wow, those headphones really are expensive!

7:49 am

No way I can get them.

7:50 am

Woot! Found ep 7/36...didn't know I knew such a fancy word!

7:50 am

they wouldn't be safe in your current situation anyway...that's the rub. You don't always want to hear them, but you NEED to hear them

7:50 am

Can the tv be moved into her bedroom?

7:50 am

Work has been slow...hubby has been suggesting I find new work.

7:50 am

they are expensive,but they will be the last pair you ever need to buy

7:50 am

It is in her bedroom.

7:50 am

it is in her bedroom br

7:51 am

look up online tutoring, car

7:51 am

can you shut the door?

7:51 am

Yes, but then we have feelings of exclusion.

7:51 am

I see these TV headphones advertised on late night TV where one spouse can have the TV turned up and the other one doesn't get blasted out of the room

7:51 am

don't know if they work or not but it's a thought

7:52 am

then it appears to me it is Trifs turn for a week

7:52 am

You know what...instead of sitting here whining about it, I am just going to get my big girl panties on, but on my damn headphones and get my work done. This is my situation and I have to make the best of it.

7:53 am

* put on

7:53 am

You're going to put panties on your headphones???

7:53 am

yeah i have headphones that you hook up with the TV and the person who is watching puts them on to listen - because if you're on a treadmill you would have to put the volume up sooo loud to be able to hear over it, and then you disturb people, so it's better to have it in headphones

7:53 am

absolutely br, and I have done so, in the past, but things have changed a fair amount, and it's not so easy to relocate her now

7:53 am

Hmmm...maybe that will help!!! LOL!

7:54 am

hey car - the lovely mrs. merritt just called, to see if I can do breakfast with the brits today, since I am not working - YAY! When is the last time I could do THAT?

7:54 am

Oh excellent!~!!!! Have fun and tell them all I say "hi"!

7:55 am

i absolutely will!

7:55 am

Tommy is coming today and hopefully the plumber too!!!! We are almost done!

7:55 am

my mrs is getting a pair for christmas as she loves dead silence when reading and often has to hide in the bedroom to read

7:55 am

oh, how we WILL sing the doxology then!

7:55 am

What a nice gift Crossy! {{Elegant}}

7:55 am

how long do you think will take her to remember the bathroom is fixed and she can use it again?

7:56 am

The bathroom is freakin' gorgeous! I want it!

7:56 am

No time at all. She still goes in there first and then to my bathroom.

7:56 am

oh, that is a relief!

7:57 am

we all get old ... if we lived that long

7:57 am

got the 9!

7:57 am

ooh, got the 8!

7:57 am

wow, there are some uncommonly found in babble common words today

7:57 am

Ooooh ! Stats please?

7:58 am

re9/66

7:58 am

BR, all I can say is pray to whatever god you believe in that this never, EVER happens to you.

7:58 am

ce8/45

7:58 am

Got it!!!!! TY!

7:58 am

green stalk veggies

7:58 am

Me to!

7:58 am

Whee! TY uusue!

7:58 am

Hello Bichon!

7:59 am

hello bichon

7:59 am

Trif...did I tell you we are getting a dog?

7:59 am

WHAT????? are you NUTs?

8:00 am

my Mom is 87 and she believes I am the only that understands her

8:00 am

hi Trif. What kind of dog?

8:00 am

No...listen....we are going to get a dog...not a puppy...perhaps a displaced one from the hurricane. Mom is going to be devastated when Lucy passes and we feel if we incorporate another dog into the house in the new year, it may lessen that shock and pain down the road.

8:00 am

only one

8:01 am

a displaced or otherwise rescued dog will very much appreciate that

8:01 am

ha, I got the 9 too!

8:01 am

interested in a Shih Tzu who walks on 3 legs?

8:01 am

you can do whatever you feel is right, but think long and hard on this one - mom does not do well with change, and you already have WAY too much on your plate. She may surprise you. We all thought jean would be lost with out Bobbie, but in a week she had forgotten him entirely

8:01 am

Thank you Bichon, but no.

8:01 am

good thinking, car!

8:02 am

petfinder.org is a great site for rescue dogs or other animals

8:02 am

We have thought about it and discussed it at length...still doing so. Nothing permanent yet.

8:03 am

make sure you have a foster option first - lucy does NOT do well with other dogs, and the stress of the two dogs not getting along will not help mom at all

8:03 am

As I said, this is for after the new year, when she starts going to CareWell a couple of days a week.

8:03 am

which will be a big enough change right there....

8:04 am

so i take it you two know each other for real

8:04 am

I know that. We are taking it step by step. Doing a lot of research. We will see how it goes.

8:04 am

who? trif and me? We are sisters!

8:04 am

I wonder if there is a governor that could reduce the volume.

8:04 am

we are sisters, hurshy

8:04 am

Ty Jeff!

8:04 am

yes, sisters who tend to forget that we aren't the only ones in the chog, sorry!!!

8:05 am

No way, BR! Governors don't know how to reduce volume!

8:05 am

hmm i either missed that or forgot it. with so many babblers i find it hard to keep track of personal information about them.

8:05 am

That's OK Hurshy! Me too!

8:05 am

don't apologize, trif, it's fun to watch the banter!

8:05 am

my sisters are not into babble :(

8:06 am

We have many "adopted" members of the coven....would you like to join?

8:06 am

that's ok :) thanks though

8:06 am

Hey....I had asked last week...has anyone seen "Science Geek"? I have been thinking of her and her grandkids.

8:07 am

Stats please for the second E from the middle?

8:07 am

I have et 5/14

8:08 am

ep 7/36

8:08 am

okay, im nbt, nbs, and over halfway, so I think I had better go add value before I leave for brekky. A blessed thanksgiving to anyone I might not chog with between now and then :)

8:08 am

ed4/6

8:08 am

I think that is the one that comes from there....

8:08 am

Time to do some real work. I would ask that everyone pray for our friends in Israel. Helluva powderkeg brewing there now. *POOF*

8:08 am

Bye Trif! Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

8:08 am

Bye Judi. I will. {{hugs}}

good morning all and how many words today and thanks

8:09 am

Got it! TY Hurshy!

8:09 am

Hi Steve! Good morning! 144

thanks Car!

8:09 am

i can reduce the volume by going to the system trey, clicking on the volume control, opening up the mixer and reducing the volume

8:10 am

That is one way, BR!

8:10 am

I should probably go too and get some work done before the workmen arrive. Have a great day everyone! {{hugs}} to all!

8:11 am

If anyone IS in touch with Science, please let her know i am thinking of her.

8:14 am

I am Babbling with little Watson on my lap. We are both keeping each other warm

8:14 am

re 7/40 is my favorite word in this grid.

8:15 am

hint for it BR, pls

8:16 am

that is the R i don't have!

8:18 am

re = prevaricate + electrical unit: **lt

8:18 am

whoa, weird one

8:18 am

Thanks BR

8:19 am

ty BR, that is an interesting word

8:19 am

looks like a Harry Potter spell

8:20 am

it does, liedola!

8:20 am

When I have heartburn, I'll take a re 7/40

8:26 am

Hello all! Help with the ep7 please...

8:27 am

a vulgar/swear word

8:29 am

Am I too much of a lady?????? Does it incorporate the letters from the ep4?

8:30 am

a term used to characterize a person or a thing, def for ep7

8:30 am

not necessarily vulgar according to my dictionary

8:31 am

just the first 3 Alleyn

8:33 am

it's not a swear word, alleyn, it just MEANS a swear word. or it used to :) can just be insulting too, i think, as peri is indicating

8:33 am

Morning, all...How is everyone today?

8:33 am

Thanks! So obvious with all the hints. Thanks

8:34 am

tough grid for me

8:35 am

bs

8:37 am

for B i have a hebrew letter - anyone got the other two?

8:38 am

... computer term ... 8 bits ... and plural

8:39 am

be back later

8:40 am

Thanks, Doseffing.

8:41 am

ah i forget to try Y!

8:41 am

the lower T is hard too.

8:46 am

dreaded 14! which = 90% today

8:46 am

list time

8:47 am

... 90% is always good

8:48 am

I still need 56...lol

8:53 am

clue for re9

8:53 am

so annoying when you LOOKED for a particular word, didn't see it, then you get the list and ultimately realize it IS there after all

8:53 am

re9 = look over carefully, again

8:54 am

Pretty smooth going this grid

8:54 am

i'm done. last clues before i bid you adieu?

8:55 am

Congrats, Hurshy!

8:55 am

... well done

8:55 am

what a re 7/40. hursh

8:56 am

ty hurshy got it

8:56 am

I am ok..but thanks..down to 37 now..lol

8:57 am

8:57 am

Bye, Hurshy..take care.

9:11 am

140 going at it

9:56 am

And thats me done..take care, All :-)

9:56 am

Greetings wordnerds!

10:06 am

hi again all!

10:07 am

and yay for the finishers!

10:07 am

Back. Hi Sue. How are Frank and you doing?

10:10 am

hi scrabs, we are ok. Frank is doing a little better and may come home tomorrow.

10:11 am

Right now I am looking at pathology reports and have some questions for the doctors - the one from the colonoscopy talks about signet-ring cells, with pictures, while the surgical one doesn't mention them.

10:12 am

I googled signet ring cells and scared myself :-(

10:12 am

Do not hesitate to get a 2nd or 3rd opinion from another oncology team, especially at a comprehensive cancer center.

10:13 am

I think that is a good idea.

10:14 am

I would say it is mandatory given the diagnosis. Be an advocate for Frank. Know that the treatment plan chosen is truly the correct one based on the correct diagnosis and staging.

10:15 am

now I just have to figure out how to pay for it...

10:15 am

Sue, at this point, Google is not your friend. You will just end up getting worried about things that may not be in the forecast. As for payment, they will have to take payments as you can make them.

10:16 am

My friend's husband died of colon cancer after being treated and monitored in a nonaggressive manner despite my urging her to not be passive and just accept what the doc said.

10:16 am

Any serious diagnosis requires 2nd and even 3rd medical evaluations.

10:17 am

well, I start with google and wind up in medical journals, molly, I have a pretty good internal filter

10:17 am

I am also a bit suspicious of the diagnoses of two separate cancers

10:17 am

You need to speak with enough docs to feel confident in the management.

10:17 am

indeed, scrabs!

10:18 am

Two tumors or 2 different types of cancer? Perhaps same type of cancer with different degrees of differentiation.

10:20 am

two tumors, both adenocarcinoma, one in the colon and one in the small intestine, wrapped around each other

10:21 am

yikes, sue

10:21 am

OK, so same type of cancer but more than one area of growth.

10:21 am

right, scrabs

10:22 am

tumor pathology calls it mucinous but the pathology report from the colonoscopy (done at Quest) says signet ring cells, and has pictures of them

10:22 am

You have many outstanding resources on Chicago, so start making appts and getting pathology slides, imaging CDs and medical records to other docs.

10:23 am

the hospital path report doesn't mention signet ring cells

10:23 am

Know that the treatment plan chosen is truly the correct one based on the correct diagnosis and staging.

10:23 am

http://cancer.uchicago.edu/ <----this is where Frank needs to be seen, ASAP

10:24 am

How does a lay person do that?

10:24 am

http://www.lurie.northwestern.edu/home\n/index.cfm<---and here

10:24 am

Do what, BR?

10:25 am

Know that the treatment plan chosen is truly the correct one based on the correct diagnosis and staging.

10:25 am

Sign release of information forms for pathology lab, radiology department, surgeon, hospital medical records dept, etc

10:25 am

Hi All

10:26 am

working on it now, scrabs

10:26 am

Hi Hego

10:27 am

Hi Molly

10:28 am

Sue, text, e-mail, or call me for any questions as you navigate the labyrinth of medical care.

10:28 am

and Sue BR and Scrabs

10:28 am

is the 9 a compound word?

10:28 am

I have to get ready for an afternoon hike at a park. Ciao amici

10:28 am

I have gotten more than one opinion and there has been no consensus

10:29 am

ciao Scrabs

10:29 am

It's tough BR

10:29 am

bye, scrabs, have a great hike!

10:29 am

and thanks for all the help!!

10:29 am

I don't know how people manage.

10:29 am

It is vital to be an active participant when you are a patient, and at some point we are all patients, so be your own advocate and have your own advocate if you cannot do it

10:30 am

very good advice!

10:30 am

Oh, I can advocate

10:41 am

hi all

10:42 am

Hello, jmc

10:42 am

Hi JMC

10:42 am

Happy turkey day to you.

10:44 am

: )

10:44 am

oppsie. someone put in an extra long website?

10:45 am

10:45 am

I thought it was just me.

10:45 am

it usually means someone wrote something without spaces

10:46 am

Aha!

10:46 am

it will go away sooner if we chat it up more! :-)

10:46 am

Did not know that.

10:47 am

hi all. any clues for the 8 or 9?

10:47 am

10:47 am

10:47 am

10:47 am

*here

10:47 am

10:47 am

ok. got a seven that is all.

10:48 am

ok

10:48 am

I would not know a tinyurl from a doorstop.

10:48 am

i wonder if turkey will be in the grid thursday

10:48 am

the 8 is a type of vegetable, plural

10:48 am

Hi mael and ty.

10:48 am

hi hego! :)

10:49 am

it would be cute if it were but i think the grids are more a random progression

10:49 am

I am spending Thursday with my stove!

10:49 am

hi mael

10:49 am

i am spending thursday in a hotel with 60+ of my in-laws

10:49 am

10:50 am

ty mael

10:50 am

10:50 am

10:52 am

10:53 am

ty mael that was a great clue

10:53 am

i need it for my famous cornbread dressing!

10:53 am

10:54 am

Mine isn't famous though.

10:54 am

10:55 am

10:55 am

10:55 am

: )

10:56 am

YAY! We got the chat back to normal.

10:56 am

yep only have to chat to get it back to normal

10:57 am

mmmh, stuffing

10:57 am

You're right again.

10:57 am

I am looking forward to thanksgiving

10:57 am

your cornbread dressing (in the south it was considered rude to call it stuffing!) is famous if you say it is hego! haha

10:57 am

me too.

10:58 am

lol JMC

10:58 am

<==jmcnrick is always right and never lies. . . .

10:58 am

mostly for the mashed potatoes and gravy, they're my favorite thing

10:58 am

hahahaha

10:58 am

I never got used to turkey, it's not something that I ever grew up eating so my first thanksgiving dinner was... underwhelming :)

10:58 am

do you remember firesign theater?

10:58 am

I wonder if I could a CD of it

10:58 am

no tacchino?

10:58 am

non al forno, no ;)

10:59 am

Fireside Theater?

10:59 am

we don't ever throw the whole big bird in the oven, really

10:59 am

oh, e vero.

11:00 am

Italians can make a whole turkey breast last a week!

11:00 am

great way to eat.

11:00 am

it was a comedy record. . . and one of the characters was always saying: I am always right and I never lie. . . Vote for something something Tirebiter.

11:00 am

I think the only time I'd ever had turkey was sliced breasts as cutlets

11:00 am

yup! :)

11:01 am

really mael? you don't have thanksgiving turkey?

11:01 am

JMC, i don't remember that.

11:01 am

well it may have been a cult thing but i see i can get mp3s (if i only knew how) and cds of it

11:02 am

Do you have Netflix?

11:02 am

Just realized there are no a's today. No wonder I'm doing okay.

11:02 am

no it was using up too much money. . .

11:03 am

true.

11:03 am

can you get mp3's from netflix?

11:03 am

no, itunes.

11:03 am

haha i am still stymied by the Es and i's

11:03 am

or Amazon is good.

11:04 am

me too.

11:04 am

JMC, I never had thanksgiving, period!

11:04 am

well i don't really need any such thing. . . better not to add any more time wasters/users to my life

11:05 am

mael are you not in the US?

11:05 am

I am now, but I only moved here 7 years ago from Italy

11:05 am

she has it now JMC.

11:05 am

oh I didn't know that. . .

11:05 am

and now that my husband and I cook thanksgiving, I'm getting used to it :)

11:06 am

i still prefer the sides to the turkey, but I'm told that's pretty typical

11:06 am

well i personally like thanksgiving . . . but not so crazy about it in a hotel

11:06 am

true mael

11:06 am

it used to be the big football day. . .

11:06 am

yeah, are you going to be far from home, JMC?

11:07 am

just up to the poconos. . .and my boy will be with me (and his gf)

11:07 am

that, at least, sounds like fun :)

11:07 am

the poconos are in eastern PA

11:07 am

well, that's nice.

11:08 am

what hotel?

11:08 am

More powerful than the will to win is the courage to begin. ~Source Unknown

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway. - Mother Theresa

11:41 am

good afternoon all - what kind of cookies ruby

11:41 am

Nothing hoggish about you Ruby. Enjoy : )

11:41 am

11:42 am

I made soy-plum-duck

11:43 am

cleaning out the refrigerator of leftovers so I can have room for all the Thenksgiving things

11:43 am

these are sinful

11:43 am

That is on my to do list as well, Teach.

11:44 am

nasty job -- always find spoiled veggies in the back or in the drawers

11:45 am

We are good little do-bees here and eat our vegetables. Never find any spoiled in my fridge, and I'm glad. I hate wasting food.

11:45 am

you deserve a gold star for that, molly

11:46 am

my husband does the shopping and always buys too much for us to eat

11:46 am

hence, rotten vegs lurking in the back

gretings netizens of wordiness!

right-hand column done, weee

11:54 am

don't think there is much spoiled - just need to eat leftovers for dinner tonight

11:57 am

12:01 pm

re 9 66 ce8 45

Ty, found the ce8, hunting the re9

Ty again, sarahm, found the 9 too

12:06 pm

It is my humble opinion that the one who cooks is the one who should do the shopping.

and the one who cooks should be the one who eats, too! 8-D

12:07 pm

the one who cooks doesn't do the dishes

12:07 pm

Amen to that Teach.

yeah. in fact, i just ri5 the dishes, and don't do them till the next day. much less stressful that way, IMO

does the re add to aan existing word?

2:08 pm

Peri, what are you doing for Thanksgiving?

2:08 pm

I will be here with my sister and her family and another two people from bro-in-law's side. not too bad. I can eat and then go right upstairs and have a gin and tonic :)

2:09 pm

Ah, sounds like a lovely plan. : )

2:09 pm

I was hoping they would go out with their other son and leave me here alone but that did not work out.

2:09 pm

hi again all!

2:10 pm

Hi Sue

2:10 pm

hi there sue. how are you holding up? How is Frank today.

2:10 pm

he is getting better, peri, now he is struggling with eating (psychologically difficult)

2:11 pm

I can understand that from what you have told us.

2:11 pm

I am working on getting him a second opinion from the University of Chicago cancer center as his cancer seems quite complicated

2:11 pm

a 2nd opinion would be a good thing

2:11 pm

he did have some broth, and some tea, and a tiny bit of yogurt, so that is good

2:11 pm

that is good sue, small steps

howdy all:)) back for a few more

2:28 pm

got 18 left, I'm off to brine our turkey :)

2:28 pm

suze.have you asked about ensure meal replacement drinks that are available at the pharmacy? they can give him all his nutrients while he still on a mostly liquid diet

2:29 pm

Wow, I only brine mine for 24 hours. You must do 48.

2:29 pm

my father ate like a bird after his lung cancer op and ensures did a good job of filling the gaps

2:29 pm

f.i.l*

2:29 pm

yeah, we're trying 48 this year. We got an heirloom turkey and they're supposedly leaner, and therefore benefit from more brining

2:31 pm

ladies,i have never brined a turkey before(actually never heard of it before this) what are the benifits and what is the procedure?

2:31 pm

catch you guys later :)

2:31 pm

With only one refrigerator, I have a hard enough time juggling space for 24 hours. Maybe when I have two, I will try 48 hours.

2:32 pm

it's moister, you plop the bird in salt+sugar+spices dissolved in water, and leave it to soak in the fridge 24/72 hours

2:32 pm

we have our old fridge in the basement, that's where the turkey and the extra beer lives :)

2:32 pm

Well, you get a 5 gallon bucket and you fill it up with water and kosher salt and a mixture of seasonings, garlic, celery, onion, syurp, etc and soak it.

2:32 pm

interesting

2:34 pm

A mael uses sugar. I use maple syrup. You can use any sweetener. Some people use honey.

2:34 pm

pi 5/12 ?? the one that is second words after the pi 5/16

2:34 pm

never heard of it..quite different indeed

2:34 pm

*Ah mael

2:34 pm

but i suppose it is like any other marinating,just on a larger scale

2:40 pm

.....

2:41 pm

Im back with my new car. YAY

2:42 pm

yay annie

2:43 pm

thank you, smom

2:43 pm

SMom...p + people in Scotland call their wee ones ba****

2:43 pm

Rhymes with c word that means stone piles

2:44 pm

Wow Annie, good for you. I know the feeling of getting a new car after hanging on to an old one for a long time. It's the best. : )

2:44 pm

2:44 pm

Yes, It is!

2:47 pm

pi + Hawaiian garland

2:47 pm

thanks molly

2:55 pm

pirns

2:55 pm

sorry

2:58 pm

Morning everyone

2:58 pm

hello folks :)

2:59 pm

howdy lynxx,kate

3:00 pm

Good afternoon all.

3:00 pm

just a quick hit and ru n for me today, less than an hour, but the grid doesn't look too friendly???

3:00 pm

hi peach, hey there crossy

3:01 pm

hi Cross...that 'brining' method is great for any whole poultry Cross...makes the meat much juicier

3:01 pm

And good afternoon to lynxxx.

3:01 pm

i will have to remember that

3:01 pm

hi Peach

3:05 pm

May I please have a clue for pi5-16? Thanks

3:05 pm

would you like a slice of cake peach?

3:06 pm

.. sorry - that was 5/14

3:06 pm

Thanks anyway, Kate.

3:07 pm

religious sincerity

3:07 pm

just got started here, only have a few words so far

3:07 pm

ty nrk

3:08 pm

hi Gang

3:08 pm

And Happy Holiday to All!!

3:09 pm

hi Hego...well happy holiday for the US crew anyway

3:09 pm

hi hego... big feast preparations underway?

3:10 pm

yes, indeed Kate.

3:10 pm

ty Lyn

3:10 pm

what date is Thanksgiving?

3:10 pm

so - weigh in on the brining of the bird prior to cooking it...

3:10 pm

Thanks nrkii, that word has given me hives. The only religious word I can think of is with ous....and that isnt working.

3:11 pm

they say it does wonders kate

3:11 pm

Peach - there is a Y hiding in the corner

3:11 pm

brining is wonderful and makes a big difference.

3:12 pm

But I've read that Butterballs are brined already.

3:12 pm

start with dessert, gapeach

3:12 pm

I did do it myself once Crossy, it was great.

3:12 pm

good advice Nrkii

3:12 pm

end witht he last two letters of my original clue

3:12 pm

i never heard of it until last year... maybe from the popularity of deep frying them instead of roasting... my mother used to soak in a bit of plain salt water for a couple hours, but said it was to get any extra bllood out of the bird

3:13 pm

she was brining without knowing it!

3:14 pm

no spices, sugar etc though.. and only for a little while

3:14 pm

she wasn't a great cook

3:14 pm

a couple of hours might make a difference.

3:15 pm

Thanks so much, nrkii and lynxxx.

3:15 pm

actually, she was koshering the bird

3:15 pm

I did it for 24 hours, i think.

3:15 pm

Yes Annie! And great to see you! : D

3:15 pm

hi Annie

3:15 pm

Must eat....bbl.

3:15 pm

hego, and great to see you too, are you having a crowd on TG Day?

3:16 pm

I don't buy Butterball turkeys. Turkey is a dry meat, so the brining really helps make it more moist and juicy.

3:16 pm

hi lynnxxx, I picked up my new leased car today.

3:16 pm

Just my kids Annie.

3:17 pm

That's nice, hego.

3:17 pm

yes, It's been a rough month.

3:17 pm

We need a quiet day to bond.

3:18 pm

Absolutely, hego

3:18 pm

Sorry you've had a rough month, Hego. Hope you and your clan have a nice day on Thanksgiving.

3:18 pm

ty Molly, you and yours too.

3:19 pm

what fun Annie...just got a new (second hand) car myself after many many years...its such a treat

3:19 pm

will send the thanksgiving fairy your way ((hego))

3:20 pm

Yes, I decided to treat myself too after having the car totaled and a horrid time (weatherwise) here.

3:20 pm

ty All, but we're good now. Things are getting back to normal for us, anyway.

3:20 pm

It was very traumatic Annie.

3:21 pm

So many lost everything. So we are very thankful.

3:21 pm

Was your house affected by the storm, hego? We are working on generators here.

3:21 pm

Yes, we have a lot to give thanks for this holiday.

3:21 pm

Annie, you still don't have power?

3:22 pm

my house is okay, but my son had to stay here for quite qa while..And now the power is back.

3:22 pm

No power here. The transformers were in 6 feet of water and all the wires are wet. Thank God for generators.

3:23 pm

WOW, hard to believe.

3:23 pm

hego, I had to leave for 16 days. Stayed with my daughter.

3:23 pm

How long has it been? That is difficult to beleive

3:23 pm

We lost power Oct. 29th.

3:23 pm

I heard that through Mom Annie.

3:24 pm

Did you go to your daughters before the storm hit Annie

3:24 pm

Over 3 weeks.

3:24 pm

We were all worried about you.

3:24 pm

Hard to believe, since most of it is surrounded by water, but New York was not built to deal with the storm surge it got.

3:24 pm

No, foolish me. I stayed, no heat, water, electricity/ My daughter came to get us and we walked down 24 floors in the dark with flashlights.

3:25 pm

Oh, my.

3:25 pm

It was the storm surge that did us in. When I looked out of my window the ocean was below us.

3:25 pm

oh goodness Annie....don't do that again!

3:25 pm

That sounds like something out of a horror novel, Annie.

3:25 pm

Are you still living in your apartment or with your daughter?

3:26 pm

tonights din-dins is long grain rices soaked and prepared in lightly spiced beef broth then lightly fried them mixed with a california style fresh veggie medly,served with red angus beef tips braised in herbs and spices and onion bbq sauce

3:27 pm

3:27 pm

Never. Liz wanted to get us before the storm hit but I decided to stay. I didnt think it would be that bad.

3:27 pm

extreme weather - happening worldwide - something the whole world needs to get ready for - especially those living near sea-water

3:27 pm

i am glad things are slowly coming back together for all my east coast babble friends,but still sounds like a ways to go

6:41 pm

How did Frank do today with his new regimine?

6:41 pm

WooT WooT WooT lizlin!!

6:42 pm

he has barely eaten at all, jill, but they just took him completely off the TPN so maybe he will start to get hungry

6:42 pm

ty. Just read the update Sue - I guess it will take a long time.

6:42 pm

*fingers crossed* I agree with your thought that there is a psychological component to eating..

6:43 pm

also, since he had an almost complete blockage for several months, (I am trying to put this gently) there is backed-up material that needs to get out, and that is starting (big time).

6:43 pm

Good luck Sue - bye for now!

6:45 pm

thanks liz!

6:45 pm

Glad he's being kept 'busy'... ;-)

7:37 pm

Hey there, sue.

7:37 pm

hi, peach!

7:38 pm

How is Frank today?

7:38 pm

getting better, peach, we may go home tomorrow afternoon!

7:38 pm

gotta get him to eat, though

7:39 pm

Oh, that is good news. Be sure to keep your strength up.....will you have some help?

7:39 pm

oh yes, we have a lot of friends helping out, and we may get some home health nurses

7:41 pm

Good. You and he will remain on our minds and will be sending energy your way.

7:41 pm

thanks, peach! we have a lot of online friends as well, and you all mean a lot to us :-)

7:48 pm

That's great Sue. I thought you might have trouble getting in home care with no insurance.

7:49 pm

his insurance will cover it! Yay!

7:49 pm

he has major medical, which we thought only covered hospitalization, but since he has cancer it will now cover all costs associated with the cancer, whether they are inpatient or not.

8:03 pm

YAY Sue and Frank! Just arrived to this great news.

8:04 pm

hello to everyone here as well

8:08 pm

dp

8:08 pm

Hi there, Bugs!

8:09 pm

hi peach. I hope your day has been as good as uusue's

8:09 pm

I am feeling better today, thanks Bugs.

8:12 pm

It's beyond time for some good news in this chat log. Seems like it's been nothing but illness and storm destruction lately. *Sending out good news vibes to all*

8:13 pm

Thank you, Molly.

8:13 pm

hi bugs!

8:14 pm

I got my haircut today and look much better than I did yesterday if that counts Molly ;)

8:15 pm

Sure it counts. Glad you like your new cut.

8:15 pm

Nice, bugs! :-)

8:16 pm

Hi Sue. I feel so badly that Frank has so many emotions wrapped up in the getting well process. It must be very hard on you.

8:17 pm

thanks, bugs. He's mostly in a pretty good place; justneeds to eat

8:20 pm

doesn't he have favourite bland food that always helps? maybe a lick of two of pumpkin pie filling or pudding

8:24 pm

I know someone asked about this earlier but I didn't see the answer. Is he getting Ensure?

8:25 pm

Molly I think he has been on IV nutrition so he is not feeling the need to eat more than water. Ensure would

8:26 pm

.... be a good start if he can have it.

8:26 pm

Okay. I swear I thought I saw a post that said he was having broth and such things earlier.

8:27 pm

he had some broth this morning

8:27 pm

you could be correct. I only just arrived now. I sure hope so

8:27 pm

but they just removed the IV nutrition a couple of hours ago

8:28 pm

he is getting Ensure Enlive, which is a high-protein, clear version, the regular Ensure didn't use to agree with him and we don't want to risk a gluten reaction

8:28 pm

that shud help uusue. he will feel hungrier and thirstier now

8:29 pm

presumably with all the IV stuff gone he will get hungry and thirsty but I want to encourage him to eat and drink before it gets urgent

8:30 pm

snap, bugs :-)

8:30 pm

yes but it gets wearing to be a coach all the time. Men don't get sick very well

8:31 pm

that is certainly true, bugs!! but I love him anyway :-)

8:33 pm

yes, that doesn't stop even when you feel like yelling

8:36 pm

well, he just ordered some food. Yay!

8:38 pm

yippee sue/frank!

8:38 pm

hey all ((bugs hugs))

8:38 pm

hi stid!

8:38 pm

Men don't get sick very well. That is the understatement of the year.

8:38 pm

Hey, stiddie!

8:39 pm

hey stid !! long time no chat. hope it is because you are busy with fun stuff

8:39 pm

yes Molly, they even call it a "man cold" now

8:40 pm

how is this grid? I had a terribly busy day, have been home for an hour and starting to think again

8:40 pm

well, the conference this past weekend was most excellent, bugs! Yesterday I was "recovering" and today was spent "all about kids" LOL tomorrow as well.

8:40 pm

not too bad so far stid

8:40 pm

Hi. Just finished dinner and visiting on the phone with my dear Aunt. Time to chat and find words.

8:40 pm

I'll jump in then, and see if I can get halfway before my brain conks out.

8:41 pm

hi gmere!

8:41 pm

Is this happy enough Molly? I did my pie crusts yesterday.

8:41 pm

ni5-10 please.....thanks it's the very last word for this grid.

8:41 pm

Hi uu. Glad to see you are aboard.

8:41 pm

Hey there, stidgmere!

8:41 pm

And I bet they are the best pie crusts ever, Gran Mere.

8:42 pm

hello mother

8:42 pm

cipe

8:42 pm

oops....

8:42 pm

sorry peach, don't have it

8:42 pm

Hi mama.

8:43 pm

Thanks anyway, Bugs

8:43 pm

gmere! welcome to the chat

8:43 pm

ni4 japanese immigrant?

8:43 pm

Oh, How I wish you could have a taste, Molly. You rarely go to the penalty box and thus miss out on some stuff.

8:43 pm

thanks for that one ruru

8:43 pm

that's ni 5 sorry

8:44 pm

Hi bugs!! Still waiting for a visit. Weather right now is blustery and reminds me why we say No, No, No, November.

8:44 pm

I read your posts about your meeting, stid, it sounded very interesting!

8:44 pm

I read there are big storms out your way Gran Mere.

8:44 pm

his ruru

8:45 pm

Is that like His Highness?

8:45 pm

Yes. True Molly. We have a generator so any power outages will be a temporary inconvenience.

8:45 pm

I meant Thanks ruru. don't know where the other came from

8:46 pm

*smacks Molly with his sceptor*

8:46 pm

he wud love that wudn't he Molly? ;)

8:46 pm

Oh good Gran Mere. Glad to hear you are equipped for any big storms.

8:47 pm

I would be a benevolent ruler bugs

8:47 pm

We are advocates of the simple life but sometimes we wind up being a little extravagant, hence the generator.

8:48 pm

Nothing extravagant about a generator. Not with all the money it can save you in spoiled food.

8:49 pm

All rulers think they are benevolent ruru. Most are known by those they rule as Benevolent Despots

8:49 pm

Now, that is a good point Molly. We do try to keep supplies in the freezer.

8:49 pm

Ru, was that ni5-10? Thanks

8:49 pm

And good wine for all in The Kingdom Of Ru.

8:49 pm

All rules are by definition, tyrants.

8:49 pm

is that anything like Home Despots?

8:50 pm

hello... stidgmere, what sort of generator do you have? I am having a hard time deciding

8:50 pm

hey doren

8:50 pm

I have a cummings doren

8:50 pm

hi stid.... how are you doing out there with the weather?

8:50 pm

not bad.

8:50 pm

is it whole house ru?

8:51 pm

I liked their slogan.. yes the whole house

8:51 pm

we have a honda generator, technically a portable, but it runs the well, the furnace and the lights, we have an extra plug at the power box to plug it in, and it's propane, so we have a line from our tank to the generator as well as the one to the house proper.

8:51 pm

Dorens are you home yet or are you in the line up for house repairs. They never talk about that on the news

8:52 pm

don't think i want to spend that much... what is their slogan? i have heard of hooking up an in line generator to the fridge and a few cords (space heaters, tv,s and the like) that might ddo it for me. Don't know how much longer i'm going to be in this house after retirement Yes, i'm in the house bugs. damage wsn't that bad

8:52 pm

We have a Honda gasoline powered generator.

8:52 pm

"I would rather be Cummings than Goings"

8:53 pm

i want to get it hooked into the natural gas line. i hate dealing with gasoline (i'm a jersey girl. we can't pump our own)

8:53 pm

you can get a generator like ours now for about $600, and it has served us well for over ten years.

8:53 pm

oh, really? or are you just making that up

8:53 pm

Run like a Deere, ruru.

8:53 pm

however, next generator we buy will be the kind that is hard-wired to the house and doesn't need shlepping out with a power cord in nasty weather...

8:54 pm

ours is tied to the gas.. that's the way to go

8:54 pm

Wander into a generator store and just take a field trip asking about options, Dorens. Our motto, "It never hurts to look."

8:54 pm

we have a big one,,, runs off the tractor JD.... but then we soemtimes have cattle to consider

8:54 pm

it's times like these that a man comes in handy. i definitely need the hard wire if i live alone. and all the feminists can say whatever they want.

8:55 pm

yup -- guess i'll join the hordes. I have been looking on line, but going into a store does make more sense. power mower stores, that sort of thing, i guess

8:55 pm

I think Mr Bugs has lots of generators but they are all buried out in the shop. When the power goes out he doesn't want to go get them in the dark and cold so I have lots of sweaters and blankets

8:55 pm

Exactly, Dorens. They have all kinds of power stuff in those stores.

8:56 pm

rofl... practical Mr bugs...

8:57 pm

guess i have my friday planned now. thanks

8:58 pm

yw Dorens.

8:58 pm

always glad to help with plans, doren... *wicked mama grin*

8:58 pm

oh! ask about generators that do their own self-checks periodically... they need to turn over once a month or so, no matter what.

8:59 pm

we have ours serviced

9:00 pm

it runs a test run every wednesday

9:00 pm

I sure like the security of having it.

9:00 pm

especially in the HOT summer

9:01 pm

i will. just looked at the local place's ads and the honda's look expensive. i suppose they have some in the store for less. and i do want one to test itself, cause i would surely forget to do that stuff

9:01 pm

we take ours in once a year or two for a quick once-over, but mostly Tom can do it, no different from keeping any other small engine going

9:02 pm

well, i have no tom. and i need it taken care of. just one more expense. oh well!

9:02 pm

my dad's looking into generators too, Doren

9:02 pm

wow. down to 57 already -- it's a pretty fast grid today!

9:02 pm

I'm at 57 too, stid!

9:03 pm

ni5-10 please......thanks

9:03 pm

we're twins, sue!

9:03 pm

btw, I put a box in the mail to you today, you should have it Friday I think...

9:04 pm

oh, nice, thank you stid! We should even be home by then!

9:04 pm

:-)

9:04 pm

no bread, though -- Tom didn't bake this past weekend.

9:07 pm

evening chillin's :)

9:07 pm

that's ok, we don't really keep bread around much anyway

9:07 pm

hi jes!

9:07 pm

hey jes!

9:07 pm

how's tricks?

9:07 pm

Hi there, jes.

9:08 pm

not bad, jes -- you?

9:08 pm

Hello jes. Just visiting and as you say chillin

9:09 pm

pretty well. Bruce made chicken tikki masala for dinner. it was yummy

9:09 pm

Sound very delicious.

9:09 pm

ooh, that does sound yummy, jes!

9:12 pm

yum, indeed! the amazing bruce strikes again!

9:20 pm

I'm wondering what he has in store for dessert :)

9:20 pm

Mango sherbet?

9:21 pm

No way Jes, not going there. : P

9:21 pm

heh. I doubt it... though he did make mango ice cream a while back. sadly, it turned out kind of bland.

9:21 pm

mango sticky rice?

9:21 pm

the dark chocolate raspberry ice cream, on the other hand...

9:22 pm

Will the ice cream melt by the time our plane touches down? This is the type of math problem they don't do enough of in school. A plane traveling at 500 mph leaves at 8:00. Does the ice cream remain solid when the travelers arrive?

9:23 pm

heh. we'll keep it in the freezer for you, stidg, as you forgot to calculate the 90 minute drive from the airport.

9:23 pm

Ah. That's why I am about 90 minutes wrong in my equation.

9:27 pm

Good night all.

9:27 pm

sleep sweet, stidg

9:28 pm

hi all

9:28 pm

night gmere!

9:28 pm

and hi jmc!

9:28 pm

hullo jmc :)

9:30 pm

i made fried green tomatoes for supper myself

9:32 pm

Hello to my fellow babblers!How is everybody doing today?

9:32 pm

Bruce is making dessert...he hasn't announced what it is yet.

9:32 pm

hi min

9:33 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!

9:33 pm

evening, min

9:34 pm

nice he is cooking for you

9:35 pm

having an e on the other side of that v would make it a much more useful tile

9:36 pm

well at least there is an e on one side of it

9:36 pm

Oh, jmc, FRIED GREEN TOMATOES!!! I do so love those.

9:36 pm

me too. . .

9:37 pm

<---Is going to start calling Peach Ms. Threadgood

9:37 pm

Hi there, Min. Would you be so kind as to clue me the last word for this grid: ni5-10.....Thanks

9:37 pm

strangely people seem to think they are hard to make. . .the trick being using really green tomatoes rather than partially ri**ned ones

9:38 pm

is Ms Threadgood a character from the book molls?

9:38 pm

May I have a clue for re 7/40 please?

9:38 pm

hi car

9:38 pm

Hi!

9:39 pm

bano?

9:39 pm

LOL! TY ruru! Fireworks!

9:39 pm

9:44 pm

never know how long someone has been hanging out

9:44 pm

ty jes

9:44 pm

well.. it kind of flushed out of her i guess

9:44 pm

I tend to finish people off quickly

9:45 pm

i suppose that's better than finishing yourself quickly...

9:45 pm

absolutely

9:45 pm

Jes has a point.

9:45 pm

ugh i had two clients today say that a solution to their tax problem was suicide. . .

9:46 pm

she was a bit premature

9:46 pm

well.. that's one way to beat the IRS jm

9:46 pm

you're assuming I finished, Ru... can't you tell I'm just warming up?

9:46 pm

sorry, faded out there...

9:46 pm

not really just leaves it to your family to deal with

9:46 pm

not yet

9:47 pm

welcome back, stid

9:47 pm

hi stid

9:49 pm

9:49 pm

Hello stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome back to grid

9:49 pm

hey jmc, sounds like you are having interesting conversations...

9:49 pm

???

9:49 pm

et 5

9:50 pm

ty ru

9:50 pm

hello Min, how are you? do you teach a full day tomorrow, or do your kids get a half day?

9:50 pm

*duh* fish me for that one ru

9:51 pm

it's weird for me to clue that word.. because clearly I don't have any

9:51 pm

945 and 946 posts, jmc.

9:51 pm

but turns out the corner is et4 but it is similar to the et5

9:51 pm

heh. you have a moral standing, ru... it's laying down. :D

9:52 pm

ah well that's the tax biz for you

9:52 pm

I'm VERY tired stidmama. I did not get home last nite until 9:00 and had another very long day today too.I did not get home until 7:00. Tomorrow is a half day,thank goodness!

9:52 pm

I think it's sad we live in a world where people can feel that boxed in, jmc.

9:52 pm

you don't know me well enough jes.. it's never laying down

9:52 pm

oh man, Min -- sounds exhausting, indeed!

9:52 pm

well if the first amendment protects the right not to speak you can protect the right not to have et5s

9:53 pm

oh, rimshot!

9:53 pm

why such long hours min?

9:53 pm

she's a teacher...

9:53 pm

people mostly box themselves in stid. . .

9:54 pm

well, that's true too, jmc.

9:54 pm

anyone want to talk about kittens and puppies?

9:55 pm

both of these people didn't pay their taxes so now they owe more. . . it doesn't just go away

9:55 pm

meow

9:55 pm

Last nite I chaperoned a trip to a basketball game.I had a meeting after school this afternoon.I should be in bed now, but I had to say hello since I was not here last nite.

9:55 pm

that depends, ru... what are you doing to them?

9:55 pm

*suspicious mama look* MY puppy was very well behaved today, ruru... he didn't run away once!

9:55 pm

oh jes! I would never hurt an animal

9:55 pm

See? See? Even puppies and kittens are not safe.

9:55 pm

it is nice that you are willing to do go that extra mile min

9:56 pm

no, I don't think ruru would hurt an animal -- except if it was on the menu.

9:56 pm

if it is on the menu it is to late to hurt it. . .

9:56 pm

lol

9:57 pm

stats for the V please

9:57 pm

depends, jmc... ruru are you a hunter?

9:57 pm

ve 4 and 5

9:57 pm

lots of ve words, jmc...i don't have any of them yet.

9:57 pm

me no.. I could never kill anything

9:57 pm

.. maybe bugs

9:57 pm

could never? under any circumstances?

9:57 pm

okay -- I know people up here who really adore animals, genuinely, but are also hunters.

9:58 pm

I don't see the connection stif

9:58 pm

stid

9:58 pm

... back to not laying down..

9:58 pm

rofl ruru

9:59 pm

9:59 pm

hi bugs

9:59 pm

*poof*

10:00 pm

hi jmc. just got back from supper and see I need to duck

10:00 pm

The basketball game was pretty awesome. It was not a real game.The players would play ten minutes at a time very ten minutes they would have a shooting contest on the floor and kids got to win pries.One student from my school won a bike & another student won a skateboard.

10:00 pm

I don't get the hunting thing

10:00 pm

g'night stid

10:00 pm

hi bugs

10:00 pm

wow those are some good prizes!

10:01 pm

*quack quack*

10:01 pm

what does the 9 begin with?

10:01 pm

jmc is the room in your icon your kitchen? I once painted a room that colour and got it so much trouble. I still think it is beautiful

10:01 pm

*gasp a dangling participle*

10:01 pm

re9/66

10:01 pm

hey jess

10:01 pm

re

10:02 pm

I was so happy for the kids.A lot of the students come from low poverty,so it's really cool when they win something BIG

10:02 pm

it is my kitchen. . .how on earth did you get in trouble

10:02 pm

yeah that is always special. . .

10:03 pm

it was a rented house and the landlord said he would never be able to rent it again. The colour wud never be covered etc. He was very dramatic but I loved it

10:04 pm

oh that is so silly. . .you cover it with a prime coat and then paint it the new boring color

10:04 pm

I'm down to ten words left and I REALLY need to go to bed.

10:05 pm

do you get to sleep in on Thursday Min?

10:05 pm

sweet dreams Min

10:06 pm

nbs

10:06 pm

my great success stories for the day. . . .

10:06 pm

Even though tomorrow is a half day, I still have to come home and goto doctor's appt and then I come home and have to start baking some pi 4/5 for Thanksgiving. I do hope to be back tomorrow night after all the baking.

10:07 pm

No sleeping in on Thursday. I have to get up early to go to Long Island. Hopefully, I will be able to sleep in Saturday.

10:08 pm

Goodnight all! If I am not here tomorrow or Thursday then Happy Thanksgiving to all babblers who celebrate holiday!

10:08 pm

well i hope everything is okay on long island and you are a big hit with your pi***

10:08 pm

hi minver and all,

10:09 pm

Hello and goodbye harpjane! *POOF*

10:09 pm

at the halloween party i went to this friend said she would do data entry and anything else for OTL so I called her last week and didn't hear back and I decided i would have to do it myself when she called this morning to say she had been out of town and is coming tomorrow to work!

10:09 pm

bye min happy thanksgiving

10:10 pm

good news for sure jmc. It is nice when people come thru

10:10 pm

the second big success story is that when my roommate moved out she left these six bed lift things. . . and today in freecycle someone asked if anyone had 6 bed lift things

10:11 pm

yes...i was feeling down in part because several people have offered help and not come through. . . so this was a readl lift this morning

10:11 pm

we take our successes where we find them! hahaha

10:12 pm

g'night, min

10:12 pm

6 bed lift things...... we used to call them bricks

10:12 pm

jmc, I just read your profile. What you are doing is so needed. Government does not work for the American public, but for special interest groups and themselves.

10:13 pm

haha they were boards at my house bugs

10:14 pm

ce8 please?

10:14 pm

jmc do you know about EarthRights International? my nephew words for them

10:15 pm

10:15 pm

Hubby and I are the average retired couple. We have asked ourselves many times what can we do about it, but feel totally helpless.

10:15 pm

thanks, jmc

10:16 pm

FW Thanks for all the help.

10:16 pm

they are in DC I just poste a link

10:16 pm

well you can lobby your state legislature to be ready to radify a constitutional amendment that i think is likely to come down the pike. . . and look at my webpage so you can explain why "corporations aren't people" is a good sound bite but not good law

10:16 pm

whoo hooo peach!

10:17 pm

thanks harp i will check them out

10:17 pm

http://www.earthrights.org/blog/dear-s\nhell-happy-talk-pirate-day

10:17 pm

10:17 pm

YAY peach

10:19 pm

10:20 pm

Well we used to be owned by the Copper Kings so we have personal experience....

10:20 pm

nice post .. . .is that your nephew?

10:20 pm

Seriously, check out the link. You'll enjoy it!

10:21 pm

jmc do you have a website that goes into detail about this?? We helped get our state legislature incumbent reelected and he is a wonderful person. I would be glad to pass this information along to him.

10:21 pm

He made the video but he's not the CEO or anything.

10:21 pm

But the video was his brainchild! I think it's great!

10:21 pm

i just wish i had enough money to get the word out that the constitutional amendment needs to be a little more nuanced than "corporations aren't people"

10:21 pm

good video. . .i am sure you are proud!

10:21 pm

anyway if anyone has a spare $500,000 I would be grateful

10:22 pm

:-)
