12:44 am

no idea what an italian stomach settler is

12:44 am

I don't get it

12:44 am

monkeyed it though

OK, bed for me. Hip still hurts like hell. I was to have MRIs of L ankle and R hip. Ankle went OK, but I panicked re: hip. It was an open MRI, but my face had to be under that big contraption, and stuff near my face sets off fierce claustrophobia.

12:45 am

sorry, melon . . . sleep tight

12:46 am

keep your head tight melon

totally understand that claustrophobic feeling

{{{Neil}}}

Pffft. Yeah right, ru.

12:48 am

elise is soooo cute in that photo neil

thanks. It is what it is. I see orthopaedist on the 24th. We(primary doc and I) had hoped to get an MRI in advance, and I really wanted to be successful, but I just could not. During the ankle MRI, I kept stroking my forearm to calm myself; that would not be possible for the hip MRI. I also staved off boredom by making alphabetical lists—cities, trees (couldn't think of one that starts with D, oh, Douglas Fir!).

Aww thanks ru. :)

12:49 am

90 here and packing it in -- really totally truly

2 esses in her name though.

OK enough of my troubles. Laila tov all, and poof. agree w ruru, Neil, your gf is cute.

have them give you valium or a sedative before you try the hip mri

Haha. Nothing could have a head that fat.

12:54 am

Hi all - glad I'm not the only one finding this grid hard. I struggled to half way and then listed. Am now at 77!

6:43 am

I keep seeing phantoms, fiscal, acne, leech, but the real words are alluding me.

6:46 am

Having just come back to the grid, I'm not seeing anything!

6:46 am

ahh, onto housework, maybe some of those words will come out of hiding after I've done my righteous duty.

6:46 am

... so glad that I'm not the only one looking at this grid and saying "words? here? really?"

6:50 am

okay, my last 6 were odd and hard to find, but there they are and tadone!!

hi Mimi *hug*

7:32 am

Tough grid for me this morning.

7:33 am

I always hate it when there are no "r's" for some reason.

7:33 am

for me too. It is a bit unfriendly. But I scrolled back a little and found a nice clue that Haz gave, for 2 7s :D

7:34 am

Rs make for series, and series are easier to Babble.

7:34 am

Glad they helped.

7:34 am

they sure did, thanks Haz :)

7:35 am

we are gonna see The Hobbit tonight, in the imax. Looking forward to it.

howdy all.just a note to those who do not know yet,babble is choking on long links and of late has been sliding in extra n,s in even short urls. use tinyurl.com to avoid this issue

8:55 am

9:02 am

morning all!

9:02 am

suze!!

9:02 am

Hi crossy!

9:03 am

how are you today? and how is frank doing?

9:03 am

I've also found that if you leave the http:// off the url it doesn't add the extra \n either

9:04 am

we are ok, crossy, the people I've been doing freelance work for are starting to press me for results, though, everything is late and I really need to get back to work.

9:05 am

just tell them that quality takes time and to cool their jets:)

9:10 am

9:37 am

hi jmc

9:37 am

Morning everyone

9:37 am

hi jan :)

9:38 am

hi india

9:39 am

Whats new?

9:39 am

just pulled the plastic up from the floor in the guest bedroom which is now beige with a white ceiling

9:40 am

nice... good for you jmc

9:40 am

I have 4 loaves of banana nut bread in the oven... what you doing later jan?

9:40 am

now to tackle the floor...was reading how to stop squeaks. . .the tenant who was in there before was very noisy with squeaks so i want to stop them or take them down to a low roar if i can

9:40 am

Nice...painting is in my future too

9:41 am

took me forever to prep but it was worth it in the end

9:41 am

Not doing much today..been to port huron already...

9:41 am

i was there on sunday... got some shoes :)

9:41 am

The prep is definitely the most important part

9:42 am

I just bought some groceries today..eggs etc

9:42 am

did that too...cream cheese, milk flour etc

9:43 am

Staples are so much cheaper..its ridiculous

9:43 am

i KNOW... insane

9:44 am

port huron washington state?

9:44 am

Michigan

9:44 am

ah. . .but still the US. . . odd that it is that much difference

9:44 am

its 10 mins from us JMC...Jan and I live in the same city

9:45 am

how hard is it to cross the border these days?

9:45 am

milk here is 5.99 for 4 L ( 1 gal)...across river was 2.49/ gallon

9:45 am

<==never crossed the US/Canadian border in less than 1 hour

9:46 am

depends when you go across..and if you get a female border guard... I was asked on sunday ( by a female) " what are you plannin gon doing in port huron today...SHopping... Why are you shopping?... DUH...why do 2 women SHOP?..it is what we do...for s*** sake

9:46 am

I have a nexus pass (prescreening) so i just swipe i card and go..this morning i barely even had to slow down

9:47 am

oh...we can be across and shopping in about 20 mins you just watch for when there are no lines with the web cams

9:47 am

i dont have nexus...i wonder if I should?

9:47 am

I have never had a problem before 9 on weekdays..i left home this morning at 830 and was home by 10

9:48 am

hmmm that would almost make big brother watching me worth it. . . i never get charged or actually formally detained but i seem to set the canadian border patrols' teeth on edge

9:48 am

Its worth every penny

9:48 am

how much is it ?

9:49 am

I think its $50 and is good for 5 years. Save a lot of time in the lines

9:50 am

can US citizens get one?

9:50 am

hmmm.... and yes I think so jmc

9:50 am

Yes..its good for canada, Us, and mexico

9:50 am

what about coming back jan...do they stop you?

9:51 am

hmmm that would make visiting canada possible. . . i hate getting stopped all the time. . .

9:52 am

Pull into the nexus lane, make a verbal declaration...very quick..and the rules are the same..they let me thru as long as i still to less than 100 bucks.

9:52 am

hmmm i brough 160 over and they let me go the other day

9:53 am

Yeah..its a crapshoot at that amount tho..i have gotten thru with as much as 200 but i have been sent in with 120 as well..depends on who the agent is I guess

9:54 am

i guess.. I bought dog food, cat food... 2 pair of shoes and some groceries

9:54 am

"sent in"?

9:54 am

To customs to pay duty

9:54 am

( got my hooker shoes... 5 inch heels with platform....need to gain some height around the bf...he almost a foot taller than I am)

9:54 am

sent in to pay duty jmc

9:55 am

ah. . .

9:55 am

Which for the most part is just sales taxes

9:56 am

i have spent more time next to mexico than canada. . .

9:57 am

I would kill myself in shoes like that

9:57 am

this is a bugger of a grid

9:58 am

i used to wear shoes like that . . . now i am at risk with 1 inch he***

9:58 am

Lol..me too.

9:58 am

well... BF is considerably larger...

9:58 am

he may well like tucking you under his arm. . . haha

9:59 am

Good Morning Everybody. How are you all today?

9:59 am

Howard is around 10 inches taller than me...

9:59 am

10:00 am

Ick..sounds formal?

10:00 am

10:00 am

<==inquiring minds want to know

10:00 am

its the school ball... students... dress up..dinner..dancing...mostly students being drunken idiots....

10:00 am

it is formal.... blarg....

10:00 am

ah. . . not so fun then

10:00 am

Ugh

10:01 am

Well, you can always show up and leave early for a quiet evening, carlee

10:01 am

i like formal well enough. . .but drunk students. . . ugh

10:01 am

(just take some pics showing you were there)

10:01 am

dinner dancing... etc... just checking with BF to see if he can go

10:02 am

if the meal is included in the cost; eat, have 1 dance, and leave

10:03 am

i dont have to pay..i have to be there..theme is moulin rouge for s*** sake

10:04 am

oh, my! That could make it very rowdy then..

10:05 am

ugh...lingerie turned nightwear..and I work for the chaplaincy... oh boy

10:05 am

I will be looking for the pic of you on the swing. . .

10:06 am

that was so last century to make lingerie evening wear!

10:06 am

maybe I can just find a little short black dress with spaghetti straps... add some beads to sparkle it up...and run with it

10:06 am

sounds good to me carlee

10:07 am

and a feather boa! ;-)

10:07 am

yea... and a feather boa

10:07 am

Jesus...well the hooker shoes will come in handy

10:08 am

yes..indeeed they will ;)

10:08 am

time to start shopping for a little black dress

10:08 am

no kidding spaghetti straps and hooker shoes.. I'm in

10:08 am

feather boas cost somewhere around $10 and would look very Moulin Rouge I think.

10:09 am

your going to wear them also, ruru?

10:09 am

I'm better at taking them off actually

10:09 am

you can get at dollar store...

10:10 am

Lol ru

10:10 am

love my hooker shoes...so comfy too :D

10:11 am

unless i found a nice bustier and put that with a matching skirt...but I think the black dress would be more " age appropriate"

10:12 am

mind...could always wear underneath for later ;)

10:12 am

Lol

6:54 pm

6:54 pm

good evening all-

6:55 pm

6:55 pm

Hello teach!

6:56 pm

ok poofing now

6:56 pm

hello jilly and bugsaw

6:56 pm

well, the one I haven't beenn able to 'see' is the ca4! What's up with that? Suppose I need tartar sauce?

6:57 pm

the c4 words were painful

6:57 pm

ca 4 - looks like it would rhyme with angel headgeasr

6:58 pm

Sheesh, I thought I had tried that...ty..was getting frustrated.

6:58 pm

C4 goes boom : D

6:59 pm

((molly)) thanks for a laugh...

7:00 pm

Good news out of Illinois. The committee that heard marriage equality has voted to move it to the full senate floor for a vote next week where it is expected to pass

7:01 pm

Great news!!

7:01 pm

yay for us!

7:02 pm

and hi again all!

7:02 pm

The IL House has not yet confirmed they will vote too. But Dems gain super majority on Wed I believe so itll pass if not next week then this year for sure

7:02 pm

Sue -- Mike Madigan is an ass.

7:02 pm

hello sue

7:02 pm

no kidding, cos, and he's been in there for years

7:03 pm

hi wv!

7:04 pm

Well. Finally fireworks. Determined to master this grid. Gritting teeth is probably not beneficial but it helped with this grid. Good night to all.

7:04 pm

My feeling is MM will have to let it come to the floor for a vote considering he wants Lisa to run for Gov and she needs marriage equality folks to win the nom since Quinn is a big backer

7:05 pm

anyway sorry to bore everyone else just wanted to share the encouraging news

7:05 pm

WooT WooT WooT stidg...gives me hope as right now I want to punch the screen! (Or is it SCREAM)

11:20 pm

11:20 pm

11:21 pm

11:31 pm

well at least it added them back :)

11:33 pm

11:35 pm

hi

11:36 pm

Heya Ms. hurshy

11:37 pm

my extremely beloved cat marty will be dying sometime in the next few months. right now we are giving him "hospice" care at home, he's responding well and eating again. when that changes, we'll be putting him to sleep.

11:38 pm

So sorry for your bad news, Hurshy. Give him a soft kiss from us.

11:38 pm

Oh, hurshy, I am so sorry.

11:38 pm

thanks.

11:39 pm

Finished!!!!

11:39 pm

{{ hurshy }} so sorry

11:41 pm

is this the same one you were concerned about losing weight a couple months ago?

11:41 pm

yes. the weight loss turns out to have been associated with his kidneys starting to fail.

11:43 pm

are you giving him fluids hursh?

11:43 pm

kidney issues are very common in cats but not one i expected him to fall prey to this early, as he's always been very fond of water. but one of his kidneys is very small and probably non-functional, so if he was born with it that way, perhaps that is WHY he was always so fond of water, he felt he needed more of it.

11:43 pm

He'll be remembered in song ..

11:44 pm

yes, we're doingng a subcutaneous daily fluid treatment.

11:44 pm

that's all you can do then

11:44 pm

been there

11:45 pm

so sorry, hursh . . . I well remember doing the fluid treatment for my cocker many years ago . . .

11:46 pm

at least it seems like there is not much pain or suffering associated with kidney failure.

11:46 pm

It hurts so bad. I had a little poodle-pom mix that lived to be almost 18 years.....I kept him alive two months longer than I should have - codine. He was with me through a very bad time in my life....OK, I'll shut up now.

11:47 pm

Scrabbler lost one of her bunnies on the same day, May 10th.

11:48 pm

yes, it's especially hard with marty because we formed a very strong pair bond immediately the first day he came to me at 6 weeks old. he's always been madly in love with me, demanding lots of love from me, which i have happily given.

11:49 pm

i have two other cats and it's really weird to think that sometime soon we won't have all three.

11:51 pm

He will always be in your heart, hurshy.

11:51 pm

that he will.

11:54 pm

my friend went through that recently...there is a site I was trying to recall. You may already know about it http://www.felinecrf.com

11:55 pm

Sorry, hurshy.

11:56 pm

thank you smores, that looks quite helpful.

11:57 pm

hi BR haven't seen you for awhile :)

11:58 pm

hope the new year is treating you well

11:59 pm

Hello, smores

12:00 am

your welcome hurshy...hope it helps
