Would love to go to Iceland but reckon that now I live downunder, there's not too much chance of it!

1:10 am

hey mimi, what's this about a new job, hun?

1:10 am

hello dear jilli

1:11 am

liz, thanx for asking, knee seems to improve everyday. only ached a little overnight.

1:11 am

Yes, rose, I finally got a job doing radiology transcription (which is what I've done the past 30 years) part-time at home. Hopefully, my financial crisis is over.

1:12 am

oh, wow, mimi. what a perfect job. how good is that!?!

1:12 am

two of our library stalwarts are holidaying in Iceland right now. She is of that heritage.

1:12 am

That's so good to hear Rose - and you've not had the brace on for that long yet!

1:12 am

sounds excellent Mimi - hope it works out really well.

1:12 am

good news for both of you!

1:13 am

just shows to go you, liz. all it needed was the correct treatment.

1:13 am

The down side is that the main dr. I must transcribe is the worst I've ever heard in 30 years. But I'll just consider it a challenge and dig in! At least I won't have to ride the bus in 106 degree heat!

1:13 am

Sounds so weird but Old Icelandic was a unit of study for me when i was at uni - not that I learnt to speak any icelandic but it was fun reading the sagas!

1:13 am

and with all your experience, i'm sure you are going to be just fine and dandy.

1:14 am

One of my best friends is a tenured prof in astrophysics and he went to Iceland for a conference. Said it was absolutely beautiful.

1:14 am

I'm also sure it'll be fine and you'll get used to that doctor's speech.

1:15 am

Friends of mine have been there - jealous!

1:15 am

They also had a great time and their photos were beautiful.

1:15 am

It seems to be quite a popular destination now -- one of our bridge pals went there too.

1:15 am

Am making sure I'll have plenty of vodka for the end of the day, rose, to relax after the tension of having to concentrate so intensely. The group of drs. she works for has already lost 3 other transcription services because they didn't want to transcribe her!

1:15 am

hey mimi, at least you don't have to decipher the chicken's scrawl i have to do. i swear the doctors take lessons in how to confound a nurse.

1:16 am

You'd think she'd realise something was not quite right then!

1:16 am

Doctors and children! Now what can we learn from that???

1:16 am

Apparently, this dr. is totally clueless. They've tried talking to her but to no avail. Seems counterproductive to dictate that badly when you want your reports to be accurate.

1:17 am

and the anaesthetists have lessons in how many different ways can you tangle cables, iv lines, arteial lines, drain tubes and catheters.

1:17 am

And is it your job to untangle the lines?

1:17 am

If I could work with her directly I could probably influence her, but I won't have any direct contact.

1:18 am

You can only do your best Mimi and I'm sure you will.

1:18 am

Doctors AND children? Many times doctors ARE children!

1:18 am

you know mimi, maybe spend a few hours with her at the clinic, pick up on her accent and the way she says things, it might help if you are used to her voice when it comes to transcribing her notes.

1:18 am

My thoughts!

1:19 am

I was thinking about deciphering kid's writing!

1:19 am

I had another job offer that I almost took but it would require riding two buses and standing on my feet for 6 hours on the days I worked. I'm just not up to that at this point. Still having heart symptoms.

1:19 am

lol, liz, only if we want the iv's to run, and the catheters to drain...

1:19 am

You look after yourself. This job sounds much more suitable.'

1:20 am

Which I guess you do or certainly the patient does!

1:20 am

I can't, rose. She's in Colorado. The owner of the service I'll be working for knows how bad she is and actually asked me to listen to her before accepting the job so I'd know what I as getting into!

1:20 am

hello all - please could i have the stats for the middle D - I have typed deduct 10 times at least

1:21 am

oh, so true, mimi...we have some newly graduated surgeons working , and i look at them and think, who is this child? they are younger than 2 of my sons...

1:21 am

de 6 / 24 - monkeyed it a minute ago

1:21 am

tx liz will look

1:21 am

nbs but not nbt

1:22 am

what nationality is she, mimi?

1:22 am

WTG Jilli - I'm also missing that corner t and the bottom a! Still, 3 short of 100 so not doing too badly!

1:22 am

The lady who hired me (the owner of the service) seems really cool. She has already said she's happy to have me and is sure I'll be a valuable asset to the company. I like praise!

1:22 am

We all do better with praise!

1:23 am

liz, te5/12

1:23 am

ty rose

1:23 am

She's American, rose. I've transcribed drs. from all over the world, working in teaching hospitals, and none of them were as bad as this woman. Her problem is she talks unnaturally fast. She's like some sort of alien chipmunk!

1:23 am

ae6/7 combo

1:23 am

Found the ae combo - thanks

1:24 am

lol....i wonder if you can slow the recording down a touch.

1:24 am

Love the description, Mimi - lol - perhaps not for you, though!

1:25 am

I can and will. Keeping everything crossed that I'll be able to do it (which makes it difficult to type, see, and walk)!

1:25 am

now there's a thought. load her 'notes' onto the computer and digitally slow her down. i'm sure it can be done.

1:25 am

And babble!

1:26 am

*giggle* but good bladder control, mimi

1:26 am

My boss has already sent me all kinds of reports that she does so I can see the wording and phrasing. The good thing is she only dictates mammograms, pelvic and abdominal ultrasounds. She works for a women's clinic.

1:26 am

LOL, rose!

1:27 am

The reports must be a great help and once you know her phrasing and the technical vocal, it'll get easier.

1:28 am

vocab = that should've said but i guess you already do if you've done this job for 30 years!

1:28 am

Another transcriptionist has been training on her reports for TWO MONTHS already and still can't do them without the boss looking them over. I'm VERY good but she will be a challenge.

1:29 am

With normal drs. who transcribe reasonably well my accuracy rate is 99% and I can do over 100 reports in a day easily. Have a feeling those stats will plummet with this one!

1:31 am

There's the challenge!

1:31 am

Thanks for the support, everyone. Going to bed and finish watching a movie. See you later. Hugs all around and poof!

1:31 am

Time for a break. Good to catch up mimi :)

1:31 am

BBL

1:31 am

gnight mimi

1:42 am

hey up flosey, how are you tonight? and you also, urshy....haven't seen you for a few days. hope all is well

1:42 am

great thanks rose

1:43 am

i am trying to finish early - have family wedding next weekend and will have guests staying - need to clean up spare bedroom and tidy out cupboards etc

1:43 am

ditto here, flosey. now that i have the CORRECT brace on, my knee feels really good.

1:43 am

noted your update, good to hear your improvements

1:44 am

urshy, i finished in just 69 minutes. grid is quite friendly.

1:44 am

spare bedrooms tend to collect junk somehow and easy to stuff things into the cupboards just to get them out of the way

1:44 am

yeah she better get better --her vacation is just around the corner-lol

1:45 am

lol, urshy, if you could only see our spare bedroom. you cannot make out where the bed is...

1:45 am

{{{pugs}}}

1:45 am

ah, I hear you ursh, so easy to store 'stuff' in small spare room (chesterfield pulls out to spare bed)

1:46 am

aah rose - best thing is to invite guests to overnight very good for doing a clean up

1:46 am

well, seeing as most of it belongs to DH, and it would probably be HIS daughter over from adelaide...catch my drift?

1:47 am

amazing amount of stuff that should have just been given or thrown away

1:47 am

thats one of the nice thing of having a small camping area--they can bring their own housing-lol

1:47 am

lol, but hubby and I usually end up using it, all other men in our family are much taller

1:47 am

*giggle* pugs

*hurshy*

6:31 am

it's frustrating, his kidneys are doing ok for now but his bowels/pancreas... the vet gave us new meds this week she thought would make things better but it's worse! i wonder if this means we will have to try the expensive med she mentioned once before, or what

one of the RI guys came to our dance on friday, he is a realtor and said he would give us realtors in the coastal area. and he dissed the places we were considering. so all is chaos again

9:06 am

we stayed there about 10 years ago and there seems to be a lot more amenities..it was a good central location

they look very quaint

as lon as it is near the park

i would think thy would fill up quickly.

9:07 am

9:16 am

Hi kids.

9:16 am

9:19 am

there is a cannoli on my counter that keeps calling my name... I may have to answer soon

9:20 am

e + everything tape

9:22 am

TY!

9:22 am

I had the plural money but not the singular hate when that happens

9:22 am

halfway, NBT and NBS - time for a break

9:22 am

I do silly things like that, westford.

9:23 am

bye teach hurry back

9:23 am

please send cannoli to me :)

9:25 am

I should... would save me like a jillion calories

9:25 am

impossible (so far) to find a decent cannoli up here - and it's been 16 years

9:27 am

I'm not a huge fan myself, but a friend picked these up at a small italian bakery down in redwood city, and they are the best I've ever had

9:27 am

I had ice cream, hot fudge sauce and whipped cream here because Babbler Krista visited Thursday. Dangerous for me to have that in the house.

9:27 am

also brought chocolate dipped figs from there... omg

9:28 am

My sister and I finished everything off last night, so it is safe now.

9:29 am

damn... now I must get it... brb

9:29 am

getting hungry

9:29 am

welki, hi

9:29 am

19 left and time to get moving - we've been pretty much stuck at home the last few days

9:30 am

are you staying high and dry?

9:30 am

86 to go

9:30 am

Hey, welki. How is the flooding situation?

9:30 am

Welki...you can order cannoli online...just google cannoli.

9:30 am

we're okay - very difficult to maneuver around the area though. canadian forces are nearby, shoring up the riverbanks

9:31 am

doesn't look like the downtown will be re-opened for at least another three days

9:31 am

What a mess!

9:31 am

far reaching, scrabb - most of the province is now affected

9:32 am

hi mimi

9:32 am

anyway, off for a while - enjoy the day, babblers

9:32 am

Hello all

9:32 am

hi bichon and mimi

9:33 am

Bye welki, hi bichon.

9:33 am

bichon was your walking tour all you wished for?

9:33 am

Oh, Mimi snuck in too.

9:34 am

and then some west. I would recommend it to everyone

9:35 am

so... the x is just for decoration?

9:35 am

that's so nice to hear

9:35 am

*talking to mother on phone now--getting shopping list*

9:35 am

Am in San Mateo, CA now visiting the grands

9:35 am

where did you walk/tour, bichon?

9:35 am

The Cotwolds, in England

9:36 am

that's the best, isn't it?

9:36 am

oh, very cool!

9:36 am

that is on my to do list

9:36 am

Move it to the top kj, well worth it

9:37 am

ok! (plus, I can speak mostly the language, compared to my other trips, should be a breeze ; )

9:37 am

mostly speak, not speak mostly - lol

9:38 am

missing 1 far left R... any weird ones?

9:38 am

Morning, all...just dropped in for a minute. I did most a lot of the grid at the flip. Bichon, I'm so envious of you being in northern CA....sigh.

9:39 am

nm... found the pesky thing

9:39 am

hi mimi

9:39 am

Hi, there, westford!

9:40 am

I keep trying roommate but they insist on 2 m's

9:40 am

Just visiting though. Have to return to hot, humid CT on Tues. But I will return here in August

9:40 am

yes, tried it too...

9:40 am

Middle D, top row?

9:40 am

august will be gorgeous here, bichon!

9:40 am

I'm starting to look toward moving there next year, bichon. I'm a CA girl at heart.

9:41 am

de6, scrab - de + tend

9:41 am

kje gave me some very good suggestions on places to look. Thanks, dear.

9:41 am

de and cookie pkg sent to soldiers

9:41 am

TY, K!

9:41 am

maybe all of you can start a babble house and save rent together ; )

9:42 am

Funny, kye!

9:42 am

I wouldn't wish living with me on anyone!

9:43 am

we loved Monterey when we lived there

9:43 am

OMG, westford, Carmel and Monterey are my favorite places.

9:44 am

How could you bear to leave?

9:44 am

would go back in a minute

9:44 am

ok, at 25... respectable enough to list now

9:44 am

change of station..he was at Post Graduate school there

9:44 am

we left there and moved to Coronado so not so bad

9:46 am

We're camping at Big Sur today

9:46 am

Told my kids to scatter half my ashes over Ouray, CO and the other half over Carmel...that way if they want to visit Mom, they get a nice vacation!

9:46 am

Fun, bichon!

9:47 am

Ouray, CO, we met a couple from Ouray while we were hiking in England

9:47 am

OMG, bichon...I'm so envious my teeth are hurting. Make sure you visit Nepenthe. It's a combo art gallery/souvenir shop/restaurant. It is the house Orson Welles bought for Rita Hayworth and has the most magnificant view right on a cliff.

9:48 am

I want shalf my ashes spread at Thirteenth Lake in the Adirondack Mtns, and the other half at the park near my house. My favorite places.

9:48 am

I don't think we're going to have any time on a one nighter

9:49 am

You should really try to make time....it's totally worth it. Big Sur is relatively compact so it wouldn't take long to see it.

9:49 am

ooh Nepenthe

9:49 am

Where are you camping?

9:50 am

You know Nepenthe, westford?

9:50 am

yes but didn't now Orson Welles bought it

9:50 am

It was his love nest with Rita Hayworth...I think when they were first married.

9:52 am

I'm like a little travel guide for the U.S. I've driven in/been to every state in the contiguous U.S. except far New England...only got to Boston.

9:52 am

I am trying to get to 100 and it is difficult.

9:52 am

we had a great trip west a few years ago..flew to SF, drove down to Big Sur, stopped at Nepenthe for lunch then on to Monterey and dinner at the Sardine Factory ( abalone ) and south from there. Our second daughter lives in Encinitas

9:52 am

Have traveled cross-country 12 times, taking different routes, and often by myself.

9:53 am

that's the best way to see this big beautiful country

Did you stay at Deetjen's?

9:53 am

Hi Kaplan

Hi.

9:53 am

hi kap

9:54 am

I adore driving along the coast in northern CA....it's a destination in itself.

Route 1 Pacific.

9:55 am

I love the beginning scenes of Basic Instinct when they show that great house at Stinson....heavy sign.

9:55 am

2 of our daughters are on the west coast..other one lives in Bellingham

9:56 am

Bottom A clues?

9:56 am

but other daughter and son are in MA so need to do something about the middle of the country

Come to MA. Middle of country can be skipped.

9:56 am

both start with ae scrab

9:56 am

I stayed here in Phoenix because all three of my kids are here. But as they've gotten older, I'm liking them less and less, so figure I can move.

ha!

9:57 am

once when I was in Phoenix my shoes melted

double ha!

9:57 am

silly us went in August

9:57 am

I often think I'll go up in spontaneous human combustion and just be a grease spot on the pavement.

9:58 am

The 3 bad months of summer are the price we pay for living here the rest of the year when it's wonderful weather. We only have 2 seasons in Phoenix...heaven and hell.

9:59 am

perfect description mimi

10:00 am

in New England if you don't like the weather, wait a minute

10:00 am

My third child was born the beginning of August....was pregnant all summer and with two other small children...not fun.

10:00 am

In Phoenix if you don't like the weather, just grin and bear it because it won't change for a VERY long time!

10:01 am

I can't even remember the last time we had rain...and I ADORE thunderstorms. So I'm not happy about the weather most of the time.

10:01 am

*looking*

10:01 am

Time to GET OUT!!!

10:02 am

I've got two now

10:02 am

good still missing the 3rd one too

10:03 am

Leaving until later. Nice chatting with everyone. Hugs all around.

10:03 am

60 left, I'm done. Time to enjoy the day!

10:04 am

10:05 am

10:15 am

10:16 am

10:16 am

that thing is lethal

10:17 am

10:19 am

10:20 am

10:20 am

10:20 am

*throws his toast away*

10:20 am

how was the beach?

10:21 am

amazing... that moon was so bright, once it came up over the hill, the whole beach lit up

10:22 am

which beach did you go to?

10:22 am

Muir Beach

10:22 am

oh.. lovely

10:23 am

had a fire pit, stayed until about 11. Usually closes at sunset, but I guess the ranger was letting people enjoy the moon show, as he hadn't come by to lock up even when we left

10:23 am

usually he makes a sweep through after dark

10:23 am

we suspect he was up at the tavern at the end of the road enjoying a pint ; )

10:24 am

that's really cool

10:25 am

am7?

10:53 am

i can't believe i missed that!

10:53 am

is that even a word?

10:55 am

is the x used at all ?

10:56 am

I have three more to find..and not used it yet.

10:57 am

you are almost at Yay !!

10:57 am

The definition uses this sentence: Heat from the oven is du6 to the outside. Although spell check doesn't like it.

10:57 am

that does make sense

10:59 am

Almost at Yay...I like that. : )

11:00 am

wish I was

11:01 am

sounds like the title of a Tom Hanks and Meg (whatever her name is movie)

11:01 am

Locklear, Meg Locklear : P

11:01 am

Ryan and she's a fool for getting rid of Dennis Quaid

11:02 am

she was teeny tiny

11:03 am

Oh I don't know. Quaid is a womanizer and was/is a big time coke addict.

11:03 am

(that was for Molly)

11:03 am

oh too bad maybe he's reformed

11:03 am

I like him in Vegas

11:04 am

I've heard Locklear is twee.

11:07 am

I'll bite..what is twee?

11:08 am

she looked like the wind could blow her away..

11:08 am

twee...dainty...delicate...what Ru said about the wind

11:08 am

Johnny Depp didn't show

11:09 am

11:12 am

11:14 am

11:14 am

i'm exhausted

11:14 am

I'd feel better if I had some cannoli :D

11:14 am

11:16 am

I want sordid..please move a d over for me

11:19 am

11:19 am

Mine have been tied since "I want sordid"

11:20 am

11:38 am

I think I'm going to do something else can't see the forest for the trees

11:38 am

11:38 am

"poof"

11:38 am

11:40 am

you can't take a nap unless you have cannoli jilly

11:40 am

11:42 am

I had a 2 egg omelet with fresh morel mushrooms and aged cheddar...*yawn*

11:45 am

I was enjoying toast until KJE mentioned she had Cannoli for breakfast

11:45 am

♪ One bourbon ♫ one scotch ♪ one beer ♫

11:46 am

Thorogood's breakfast of champions

11:47 am

he's bad to the bone

11:48 am

I am so glad I got to see him in concert.

11:48 am

my sister is in the grid

11:48 am

Rura?

11:48 am

Is he no longer playing? I never got to see him

11:48 am

Rura yes :D

11:49 am

I saw Johnny Lang last year and really enjoyed the show

11:49 am

He's still playing. I meant before my rip roaring concert going days were behind me.

11:50 am

I know.. all the bands I still wanted to see are all geezers now

11:50 am

<----wonders why anyone would put rip roaring concert going days behind them ;)

11:53 am

Money mostly. I won't go to a concert unless I have decent seats and they are expensive these days.

11:54 am

they sure are.

11:56 am

what does the 9 begin with?

11:56 am

The last concert I had crappy seats for was Elton John. I almost feel like a liar saying I "saw" him in concert. More like a multi-colored dot on the stage.

11:56 am

cr9

11:57 am

I hear that

11:58 am

I went to a rolling stones concert in the 1980's and I was so high up I couldn't stop my nose from Bleeding.. I'll never do that again

11:58 am

(nose bleed section)

11:58 am

Peace and love, concert goers.

11:59 am

I had seats behind the stage for Springsteen once, but he turns around and plays to those seats, which is cool.

11:59 am

Jai satichitananda judi

11:59 am

You guys went to A-list concerts. I've only seen Huey Lewis (twice), Bonnie Raitt and Bryan Adams.

12:00 pm

Bonnie Raitt is A-list in my book.

12:00 pm

I went to the Fillmore when it was in gear... I love Bonnie Raitt.. saw her at least 10 times

12:00 pm

She was fantastic.

12:01 pm

Think she still is, morning all

12:02 pm

Best show was at Great American Music Hall with her and her Bass player Freebo.. just the two of them

12:03 pm

Oops. Just remembered another one. One concert we went to had a ton of artists. Stray Cats and Willy Nelson were two that I recall. A lot of other country bands that I ignored.

12:04 pm

<---Loves Stray Cats

12:04 pm

Here is the question for this morning, What is the best show you've ever seen?

12:04 pm

Never been to any really famous concert halls. Saratoga Performing Arts Center was where we saw most of the talent.

12:04 pm

<---greatest Show Ever.. Cream at the Fillmore in the 70's..

12:04 pm

Damn, ruru. You're old!

12:04 pm

no shit

12:04 pm

OOOh ru, good one

12:05 pm

It was unbelievable

12:05 pm

Ouch

12:05 pm

LOL! Seen some comedians too. Guess that could count. George Carlin, Jay Leno.

12:05 pm

What I would give for a CD of that show

12:05 pm

Jackie Mason!

12:06 pm

i don't like big shows, one of the best for me was ravi shankar early 70's

12:06 pm

I thought Clapton was going to burst into flames

12:06 pm

I really want to see Jimmy Buffet some day.

12:06 pm

And George Carlen

12:06 pm

<--was a little stoned though

12:07 pm

We used to have a great small venue here, The Warner Theater, but they don't have concerts there anymore. I saw Little Feat there twice.

12:07 pm

Clue for the cr9?

12:07 pm

I love Little Feat

12:07 pm

a great blues song

12:07 pm

cr9...speaking of Eric Clapton...

12:07 pm

i think clapton covered it

12:08 pm

cr9 angry streets

12:08 pm

Got it on the Clapton reference. Ty. :-))

12:08 pm

I have the CD of one of Clapton's cr9 concerts. Ungodly good stuff.

12:09 pm

He's one of the very greatest guitarists in the world

12:09 pm

Yeah, Clapton is outrageously talented. Any of his live stuff is magic to the ears.

12:10 pm

Or the DVD, duh

12:10 pm

Yeah but there so many guitar heroes. I'd love to see Tom Morello play

12:10 pm

Stevie Ray Vaughn. RIP.

12:11 pm

I always was blown away by Phil Manzanera In Roxy Music too.. he's another great guitarist

12:12 pm

hi all. I saw the super moon last night. it was an awesome sight.

12:12 pm

and I am stuck with 76 left

12:13 pm

isn't it full tonight?

12:13 pm

I saw it too, Peri. Arrrroooooo!

12:13 pm

Hi Peri, it's just a moon. : D

12:13 pm

I have not been to a concert in many years but I have seen James Taylor, Bette Midler, and Joan Baez.

12:14 pm

Isaw Joan Baez in the grocery store once

12:14 pm

lol, onyx. Not a concert. Doesn't count.

12:15 pm

I am not sure but I think I saw Joanie Mitchell too

12:15 pm

I know...

12:16 pm

lol, peri good drugs or age?

12:16 pm

prob age

12:16 pm

Oh, I just remembered another concert. Eddie Money.

12:19 pm

64 left, bbl

12:20 pm

My # 2 concert of all time was Al Green

12:20 pm

Now i'm jealous

12:21 pm

<---Loves Al Green

12:22 pm

Al Green is awesome!

12:22 pm

the best voice ever. the one I really wanted to see was Aretha. but it never worked out

12:22 pm

his voice is still great

12:23 pm

Sigh. The Firefly Music Fest is going on right this very minute in Dover, Delaware. A scant 30 miles away from us. Alas, we are not hip enough.

12:23 pm

I love the version of "Put A Little Love In Your Heart" that Al Green and Annie Lennox do at the end of "Scrooged"

12:23 pm

the best female voice i ever saw was Kiri Te Kanawe...

12:23 pm

I love Annie Lennox too

12:24 pm

I've never heard of her Doren?

12:24 pm

I was not impressed with the Firefly lineup this year.

12:25 pm

opera. legendary from New Zealand

12:25 pm

oh

12:25 pm

Ticket prices are so high and i am so short, all i ever see is the back of the person in front of me, cuz everyone stands, that's why i prefer smaller venues

12:26 pm

I saw Lewis Black last year for my birthday

12:26 pm

she did a recording of west side story with placido domingo and jose carreras with bernstein conducting them. fabulous

12:26 pm

Don't like Tom Petty, don't like The Red Hot Chili Peppers and can't stand The Lumineers. The rest are all alias bands.

12:26 pm

we have a great small theater in Napa called the Uptown

12:26 pm

Not that I tried, Molly, but tickets to Firefly sold out almost instantly.

12:26 pm

you saw lewis black two years ago ruru.

12:26 pm

was it two? oops getting older

12:27 pm

god, no, it was 2010 that I was out there

12:27 pm

yeah I guess it was a few years back

12:27 pm

*snort* Fogie!

12:27 pm

no shit

12:27 pm

Or is that "fogey" ??

12:27 pm

i will be out again next summer i think

12:28 pm

Oh man, this is getting like that old folks song "Ah Yes, I Remember It Well"

12:28 pm

oh cool

12:28 pm

one is a fogey, two is fogies. and you have at least two of them here right now, judi

12:28 pm

Count me in. I turn 49 on Monday. Fogeyville, here I come.

12:28 pm

the years are ramming together now for me these days

12:28 pm

my son david is moving out there... no job for either him or his wife but they'll find something. Her sister lives in Napa, parents in Viejo, so they will most likely be in the SF area

12:29 pm

*signs Judi up for AARP magazine*

12:29 pm

Judi, sorry, but 49 is still young now.. talk to us in ten years (if we remember who you are, or who we are, by then)

12:29 pm

Gaaah! No AARP. Evil! Evil!

12:29 pm

Isn't he teaching in DC?

12:29 pm

That is tomorrow Judi. Live it up while you can.

12:29 pm

lolololol

12:30 pm

That's Jeremy... he's at John Hopkins, Baltimore.

12:30 pm

oh

12:30 pm

My husband has been throwing out his AARP propaganda for four years now.

12:30 pm

Eh...DC...Baltimore...you were close

12:31 pm

David's the librarian. in other news... Rachel and her boyfriend bought a house together last Monday (at least their offer was accepted, and the house inspection came out well). Then he broke up with her Friday night. Not good

12:31 pm

oh jesus

12:31 pm

Oh no, Dorens! That's terrible. Sounds like somebody got a major case of cold feet.

12:32 pm

Judi, I actually quit AARP, it seems like all they want to do is sell me insurance which I don't want. They are so obnoxious

12:32 pm

*wonders how in the hell westie got to 31

12:32 pm

yeah, and I'm not allowed to ask her questions. ( I did however get to ask her if it's okay to be royally pissed off at him) we'll talk later I'm sure. She's moving back to Brooklyn next week

12:32 pm

I think I've convinced hubby to sign up with AMAC, Dorens.

12:33 pm

what's AMAC? (asks the woefully ignorant doren)

12:33 pm

Better yet, we could win the lottery and tell all the blood-sucking retirement lobbyists to F-off.

12:34 pm

AMerican Association of (old) Codgers

12:34 pm

Like AARP, only for conservatives. Google and read up.

12:35 pm

wouldn't that be AMAGB?

12:35 pm

oh gosh, if it's for conservatives it isn't for me. will read up someday soon, right now i need to go outside and clean the patio furniture (having friend for dinner) and then have to toodle on down to the lake and kayak. later, all

12:35 pm

Don't say conservative in here Judi, you will get things thrown at you.

12:35 pm

Not quite, ruru. HA HA. I think it's Association of Mature American Conservatives.

12:36 pm

I know, Molls. That's okay. Since liberals have all of my money anyway, they can throw that at me.

12:36 pm

no molly i don't think so. we are all allowed our own political beliefs, and I think we're all mature enough to be able to deal with each other's differneces

12:36 pm

can anyone clue me for the centre r ro5/10 please.

12:37 pm

Ro5: partitions in a house.

12:37 pm

Not all of us Dorens, but most of us. : )

12:37 pm

ty judi

12:38 pm

I"m a political Agnostic

12:38 pm

Ack Ack. We have to stop using the mature word. Someone will start stocking the PB with oat bran and Metamucil.

12:38 pm

well, those that can't handle it.... that' s their problem, but I wouldn't allow them to keep me from saying anything

12:39 pm

*sets Judi up on a conference call with Wilfred Brimley

12:39 pm

haha, sorry judi. how about "wise"? "experienced" "evolved"

12:39 pm

I'll take evolved for 500, Alex.

12:39 pm

Mellow, we 60's kids are mellow.

12:40 pm

i really DON"T want to go out their and clean the furniture. Evolved will work, judi.

12:40 pm

I heard somebody say fogey, so here I am!

12:40 pm

Welcome to the rocking chair club, ruby!

12:40 pm

12:41 pm

I was out in the garage earlier - putting the first coat of primer on the old hoosier I am reconditioning.

12:41 pm

Oh no Ruby, no, no, no. You are much too much of a wild child to ever be a fogey.

12:41 pm

Thank you, Molly, I can always count on you

12:41 pm

plural Lion sound anita

12:41 pm

hoosier??

12:42 pm

Was hardly exerting myself, but was sweating like a pig.

12:42 pm

That is going to be gorgeous when you finish Judi. I love antique furniture.

12:42 pm

ty ru missed it

12:42 pm

Ruby look up hoosier cabinet.

12:42 pm

what is a hoosier?

12:43 pm

It's a cool old kitchen pantry type thing, Ruby. Google for pics.

12:43 pm

12:43 pm

Phantom: diorama.

12:45 pm

I don't think I'll ever get to half or nb anything

12:46 pm

((Ruby))

12:57 pm

Very funny Ru

12:57 pm

ru: pls change yr icon. It's a bad reminder

12:58 pm

Here we go again.

12:58 pm

I'm sorry, was that an earlier issue?

12:59 pm

pulling foot out of mouth....

12:59 pm

Honestly, I think it's a great reminder. People need to be reminded that not everyone who posts here is who they say they are.

12:59 pm

Don't worry Ruby, you didn't do anything.

1:00 pm

I'm actually a 5'11" 40 year old blonde with a Phd in nuclear physics

1:00 pm

No foot in mouth issues Ruby. People just don't seem to like being reminded of that.

1:00 pm

I believe you Ruby. :)

1:01 pm

Yesterday I played lexulous with a fellow from CA and we started joking about identities. I told him I was actually a convict at Folsom prison which he thought was very funny

1:02 pm

If someone's "stories" seem too outlandish, too far fetched, too hard to believe...they probably are.

1:02 pm

I still believe Ruby.

1:02 pm

*Cues up Folsom Prison Blues for Ruby*

1:02 pm

To change the subject, my not-so-litte puppy has just gotten her adult teeth and is actually going to be pretty

1:03 pm

Of course.

1:03 pm

Up to now, I've thought she was funny-looking but cute

1:03 pm

she weighs more than 40 lbs and is not quite 6 months old

1:04 pm

I'm really George Clooney

1:04 pm

I suspected that, ru

1:04 pm

I knew it!!

1:05 pm

1:05 pm

Nelson Mandela is one of the good souls who has walked this Earth. I will be sad when he passes.

3:42 pm

I had the great honour of meeting him in 2003, when the Special Olympics were held here.

3:42 pm

That is a great honor, and one to tell the grandkids.

3:46 pm

For sure. We hosted a Special Olympian from Botswana that year. My kids were young, and the whole experience was very positive. Host families were invited to the President of Ireland's home- Aras an Uachtaran- to meet the dignitaries. I also met Eunice Kennedy Shriver!

3:49 pm

Ah, you met good people, and so did your kids.

3:59 pm

hi all - just home from golf

Good Afternoon, Everyone! How are you on this hot humid day?

4:35 pm

Hello nef. I have my sweater handy for the sunshine has forgotten to rise hre in the great Northwest.

4:36 pm

hi nef, mere...

4:36 pm

Hello all...started this morning, but a nap called me away...here to babble for a moment between housecleaning.

4:36 pm

HI stidg! We are trying (but not succeeding) to dry out a bit here.

4:37 pm

Hi penquis. Hi nef and jilly. Coming back to grid after a late lunch.

4:37 pm

*Sets the timer for Jill*

4:38 pm

I'm fighting off napping now myself, Jilly. Our grandson was here the past 3 days and we've had way too much rain. I'm pretty exhausted right now. But also thankful we didn't get water damaged at our house

4:38 pm

Thanks Molly...I do get distractec in here..

4:38 pm

Its a phantom-ridden grid for sure.

4:39 pm

Well I've started now; so ought to work on it for a bit anyway.

4:40 pm

BTW nef, the nap did revive me...

4:42 pm

I have to work tomorrow, Jilly. A nap would keep me up too late tonight and I'll be dragging tomorrow. SO I'D RATHER NOT NAPAFTER 4PM EVEN IF IT'S ONLY FOR A FEW MINUTES.

4:42 pm

...and grid using some weird babble words I haven't seen for a while.

4:42 pm

SORRY! Didn't mean to yell!

4:43 pm

IT'S OKAY NEF!!!!

4:46 pm

(Now I was chatting in the wrong box!) Maybe I shouldget off my balance ball and rest a few minutes in the lazy boy....

4:48 pm

Playing Babble on a balance ball????

4:50 pm

I use a balance ball as a chair at the computer. Sometimes I try to stand while typing too.

4:54 pm

All for now. Apparently nap time. Enjoy the afternoon!

4:55 pm

Enjoy the rest of your day, Gran Mere.

4:55 pm

My friend living about 2 miles east of us got her power back last evening about 8PM; but my friend living 2 miles west of us won't have her power back on tip Tues. or Wed. she was told. Luckily, our power only flickered a few times in Friday's storm but stayed on through the whole weekend!

Can anyone tell me why George Zimmerman only has six on his jury?

5:34 pm

Actually, I laugh at it since it was a "takes one to know one" moment.

5:34 pm

they only do 12 for Capital cases bzz.. 6 for civil cases

5:35 pm

Hi Nef and all--I gave you a cr clue, nef, but I don't think you noticed it--the stake one.

5:36 pm

<----- am repeating myself, I know, but every time I see your profile pic, Ru, I find myself doing a double take!

5:36 pm

Molly; I was just going to tell you the same thing you said. Some people are unhappy with things; either at a specific time or else all the time. I don't let it bother me normally.

5:36 pm

But then again; sometimes it hurts. :-(

5:36 pm

5:36 pm

Thanks, ru. Didn't realize it was a civil case.

LOLOLOL

5:40 pm

How about the almost died three times stories? Those are always good.

5:40 pm

it's a pretty nasty reference anyway.. I'm off to eat with friends and watch Inspector Lewis. Thundering here. Tried to call my MLPs cousins to see how they were doing with the rain but no answer--

5:41 pm

I don't know who jesse is. I do know who's last icon he's using though. And I've told ruru that I'd chatted with NB for many years too.

5:42 pm

Round Barn, we've had over 5 inches total here in 3 different storms

5:42 pm

we've had no damage (to us) but too many people have power outages.

5:42 pm

Nef, Jesse was the supposed real name of Nancy Boy. Nancy Boy was a fake person here. He never existed. He was made up by nasty people who posted here.

5:43 pm

lots of talk on it in chat--we had ours last week--

5:45 pm

But was he always fake Molly? He turned pro back in 2007; that's an awful long time for a trick fake person

5:46 pm

people tend to trust on this place... why would you think i'm not who i say I am?

5:46 pm

I'm so glad we had our trees cut down (due to disease or dead limbs) over the past few years.

5:46 pm

Always fake. All the pictures are of a Japanese actor, Jun Matsumoto. And that is not the only fake person posting here.

5:47 pm

LOL, Dorens. Maybe I'm just that gullible I guess. I really tend to believe people here (but not necessarily on some other sites)

5:48 pm

well, everyone uses a nickname and an avatar...i don't feel fake, but penquis is not my name... ;o)

5:48 pm

i think we all do, nef. There was just something about him that didn't ring true. For a kid his age to talk the way he did--- that made me suspicious

5:48 pm

But Molly, my icon isn't me; and I'd never think that cross or ruru or tor or others actually looked like who they are.

5:49 pm

it's the internet...public access....bound to pick up some weirdos at times....claiming to be someone they are not, trying to impress, etc....

5:49 pm

That is not the point Nef. Anyone can use any icon they want. Anyone can tell any tall tales they want. Claim to be anyone they say they are.

5:50 pm

yes pen, and it is also sickies... The person pretending to be Jessie seemed a lot like the person calling himself JC. And he was not a picture of mental health

5:51 pm

But I really am a puppet robot with a toy gumball machine for a head ..

5:51 pm

Dorens nailed it...sickies...and...not the picture of mental health.

5:51 pm

Well, I never did believe JC. (Still can't figure out this Jessie though..

5:52 pm

i am a psychologist by trade (really)....i run across a lot of people i have doubts about...guess I tend to be a sKeptic anyway....

5:52 pm

of course you are

5:52 pm

Nef, how can you say that you chatted with Nancy Boy and never knew that his supposed real name was Jessie? I don't understand.

5:53 pm

i wish i weren't as skeptical as I am, but I am and Molly, maybe she has forgotten? I've sure forgotten more important things than that in the last few years

5:54 pm

Because back when he started here he never called himself anything but NB. It was only later that he said he was Jessie. I never wrapped my mind around that

5:57 pm

I joined here in 2005; in 2007 (when NB finally joined) I was recuperating from 2 foot surgeries and we chatted a lot back then.

5:58 pm

(I was pretty addicted to Babble at that time)

6:00 pm

Nef, you don't seem to want to believe that the person who called himself Nancy Boy was fake. If that is what you need to do, so be it. But he wasn't real. He was the fabrication of a sick person's mind.

6:03 pm

I have this bridge for sale you might want to take a look at Nef.. when you have time :D

6:03 pm

I guess I hate to think that I'm that bad a judge of character. :-(

6:04 pm

you weren't the only one Nef.. I was fooled for a long time too

6:04 pm

then things started to change

6:04 pm

We all do Nef. I fell for Nancy Boy just like the rest of the group did. It's not on you, it's on the sick person who fabricated the fake poster.

6:05 pm

I think about all the $$ Dr G is making off all these created personalities :D

6:06 pm

we've talked before about this ruru; I told you that I thought there was a change in his personality somewhere along the line. Do you ever wonder if he was real (initially) and then someone took over his person here?

6:06 pm

nope

6:07 pm

Well, I hope he's making $$ off them instead of someone stealing someone else's identity (and not paying to play!

6:07 pm

Neither do I.

6:07 pm

I think once JC was more or less banished from the kingdom.... he started lashing out as Nancy Boy

6:08 pm

Every time Ru puts that icon up, he gets the reaction "take it down, I don't want to be reminded of that". Plenty of people here are embarrassed about how they were fooled by Nancy Boy.

6:09 pm

I've become a HUGE Jun Masimoto fan of late :D

6:09 pm

I'm not embarassed by having been fooled. I just don't really like remembering the evil that was perpetrated. And Nef, believing what someone puts in the chat log and being fooled does not make you a bad judge of character. You can't judge character in someone you've never met, can you?

6:10 pm

It's as simple as this. I could log out of here right now, go find a picture of Angelina Jolie, pay 15 more bucks and log back in as Angelina Jolie.

6:11 pm

exactly, and who would do that but an evil sick person?

6:12 pm

hey ru is the fox benefit tonight?

6:12 pm

very true.. But it makes me sad that there are sick people doing that.

6:12 pm

last night

6:12 pm

*gets collagen for Molly's lips*

6:13 pm

Yes Dorens, especially here where people are (for the most part) very nice and caring. The Nancy Boy hoax was an exploitation of that. Which is why I found it so disgusting.

6:13 pm

what did you serve?

6:13 pm

some really expensive wines :D

6:13 pm

"fox benefit?"

6:13 pm

To Holly Locklear

6:13 pm

2010 David Arthur wines.. Elevation 1147, their Chardonnay, and some bubbly

6:14 pm

Michael J Fox Foundation Nef

6:14 pm

was that benefitting fox; eating fox, or what?

6:14 pm

LOL thank god I didn't call her Holly

6:14 pm

yup molly, i found it disgusting as well. and that's why i don't like the reminder. I had tried to tell a few people back when he was "alive" that I thought he was JC and they found the idea repulsive, but seemed to be offended by my suggestion, rather than look at it and believe it. Nice people, intelligent people, being fooled. Not a happy remembrance

6:14 pm

Ahh! Great organization!

6:14 pm

benefiting research on Parkinson's Disease

6:15 pm

I remember that Doren

6:15 pm

most of them thought so. I remember one who thought it possible.... back in 2010 in CA

6:15 pm

It was the slap down of Ruby that woke me up

6:15 pm

Yes, but if there is no reminder, then people just keep on believing in the unbelievable stuff.

6:16 pm

we raised $400,000 I think last night Nef

6:16 pm

don't think i saw the slap down of ruby, was that when he was still "alive"?

6:16 pm

yes

6:17 pm

that is terrific ru.

6:17 pm

I know, ruru. Michael J Fox has really brought attention to a terribly debilitating disease. I'm so glad that they are learning so much about it

6:17 pm

i worked my ass off last night

6:17 pm

250 people for an extensive dinner

6:18 pm

I must have opened 100 bottles of wine

6:18 pm

maybe more

6:18 pm

WOW, ruru! That's fantastic!!

6:18 pm

it may have been hard work, but did you get to serve holly locklear?

6:18 pm

I did.. she was actually very nice

6:18 pm

There is a common theme in these fake people who post here. They get pissed off about animals who are not rescue dogs and they get pissed off about people who eat red meat. Among other things.

6:19 pm

Emilio Estevez was there and another movie star.. Richard something

6:19 pm

so it was all worth it. (even tho i still don't know who she is.. holly or heather - i don't remember knowing her)

6:19 pm

How many courses were there (since you said "extensive")

6:19 pm

and they're gay molly

why arer you calling me holly? you know my name is heather, I just play as owl to avoid the fans :)

6:19 pm

LOL TO

6:19 pm

gotta run now. rofl, owl

6:19 pm

I didn't really know her name until yesterday

6:20 pm

Oh yeah, the whole gay or related to gay people thing.

hey hey, doren. see you soon i hope

6:20 pm

Hi Heather!

6:20 pm

yup, but my firend is here for dinner now. adios

please, i just ate, no one mention german vegans

6:20 pm

how's the patio?

6:21 pm

hi TO

6:21 pm

uh oh,, I'm a red meat eater.....................

6:21 pm

Kitchen cleaned....molly, set the timer again...babble break

6:21 pm

How do you say tofu in german?

i actually stopped taking fb friends as a result of the troubles, at least if they are not actual persons in my life.

so anyone who has a pending request and is a babbler... also had to unfirend because of connections. sad.

ru: der smartass

here is a ?: my neighbor asked me if i wanted to go camping. what do you make of that? isn't that an overnight trip? i was flabbergasted. like my icon.

6:37 pm

Camping usually is overnight or more...

6:37 pm

definitely an overnight endeavor

he asked me to lunch, then to a family funtion if i had no plans then camping. wtf

6:38 pm

Depends. One tent, two tents? Two sleeping bags, double sleeping bag?

6:38 pm

what is the status are either of you married

no

6:38 pm

Okay, must head out to make dinner...bbl

molly: i nearly gave ru the best line of the day. and you. :)

6:39 pm

I think he wants to get in your Coleman shorts, TO. : P

6:39 pm

well has he asked you out before or is he jumping right into overnight

6:39 pm

Do you go camping, TO? And how do you feel about this neighbor?

speed, you got it

6:39 pm

lol molly

6:40 pm

maybe he should read your profile...............TO

my profile?

6:41 pm

the man and lady on the train,,,,,

oh. sorry gem. have we met? sometimes i breeze though and just forget. sorry

6:42 pm

no problem,,, I usually just play the game,, sometimes read the chat... looked at your profile,,, like the joke!

6:42 pm

hi all! Frank and I are back from our weekend retreat - had an amazing time!!

6:42 pm

hi...

6:43 pm

hi sue, that is good to hear

i was just so surprised. have only seen him once since, and talked about the weather. he used to help out but that will be over soon.

6:43 pm

I *might* go IF 1) I wasn't married; 2) I had my own tent and sleeping bag; 3) he's a nice person (though maybe my judgement is questionable); 4) it's at a state park and not somewhere very isolated; 5) there are others going too; and 6) I had a can of pepper spray along.

oh, good, sue

6:43 pm

well TO guess he wants to not bother with the prelim and go right for it how often do you even talk to this guy

6:43 pm

Hi sue! Glad you had a great time!

6:44 pm

it was for cancer survivors and their caregivers, at a local retreat center, and was really wonderful - there were just 10 of us there, plus the two organizers

6:44 pm

Nef...Ms. Stipulations

LOL nef. i thank you, i wondred if i had jumped to conclusions about this. he could not possibly be that disingenuous

6:46 pm

well, Molly, it always helps to know the rules at the beginning of a trip; doesn't it?

6:46 pm

and if he gets cold and asks for a blanket,,,,, well......

o.O

i just think that jolke is very cute, it tickles my funny bone.

6:48 pm

I've been laughing ever since I read it!

6:49 pm

before I was married I had some guy friends and we'd camp and hie etc. even in the wilderness. I was always very straight up with them and I had my own tent and sleeping bag. I didn't have pepper spray though; (I guess I've always trusted people....

i got it from one of our aussie babblers. hardly see her here anymore

nef, there is no reason to accept this invitation no matter what the intent. none whatsoever.

6:50 pm

then don't. If you have no reason to accept it; why even consider it?

6:51 pm

I do a lot of stuff with guy friends. I don't have to ask what the rules are, because we all know already.

6:51 pm

help with first ra6/21 pls

6:51 pm

exactly, Molly.

just trying to tell my next step. he would help me out with little things, and i would cook and send over a meal, like if he came over with the snow blower

6:52 pm

ra + an ape is a pri****

6:52 pm

Owl, he obviously mistook your kindness for interest

6:53 pm

well TO if you don't like him that way at all then just say no

6:53 pm

ty Molls

i did, and i have avoided him since.

6:53 pm

did he take it all right or was he a jerk

6:53 pm

I'm sorry but why do guys always think there is sex involved in a sharing of tasks?

i don't know. i never did. if only i had kept saying no to lunch.

6:54 pm

stats for the solo d on top pls

he just said goodbye and has not come over since

6:55 pm

de6/24

6:55 pm

Before we were married, a guy friend was getting out of the Air Force and travelling through Minneapolis on his way home. I invited him to stay a day or 2 with me to see the Twin Cities; and I was dating DH at the time. He was jealous (but he never told me tip later!) that some other guy was staying at my place; but he came over after L. got here and he took us to Dinky Town (on the U of MN campus); and then dropped L and me off and said Good Night and left. He knew that we wer just friends and there wouldn't be anything else once he met L. and saw us together.

6:55 pm

You fix my door, I make you dinner to repay the kindness. Where does sex figure into that?

well sorry to bore you all, i think i will go get a short walk then dessert.

6:56 pm

Just lost my water at "Dinky Town"

say what?

6:57 pm

still looking for de 6/24, peri?

6:58 pm

someone else asked for it, pen, not me

6:58 pm

why, Molly? That's a funky part of the U campus. (Jeez, is that a term for something I don't know??? EVERYONE knows the area & neighborhood by that name)

6:58 pm

Good morning / good evening all :)

i am afraid to ask what dinkly town is

it is just funny, nef.

6:58 pm

ah....guess i missed that....thanks, peri...

6:59 pm

okay....

6:59 pm

Jeff, did you get the de6 for the lone d?

6:59 pm

I just Googled it; I guess it's 1 word, not 2

6:59 pm

♪Let me take you to♫ Dinky Town ♪

7:00 pm

LOL, Molly! Maybe that's what Prince's first words were for that song! :-D

7:00 pm

Happy to see you singing again, Molly :)

it is just a funny funny name, how on earth did it originate?

7:01 pm

That is not Prince. That is Lipps, Inc. A one hit wonder band.

ke tme take you to ...funky town

7:02 pm

True, Molly. Steven Greenburg wrote Funky Town

7:02 pm

Liz, I never stop singing. People can be as weird and creepy as they want to be. It doesn't bring me down.

7:02 pm

I goofed

7:03 pm

Yay Molly. Keep on singing! Wish everyone did!

7:05 pm

TO, Dinkytown has been called that since at least the 1940's and there are many possible reasons for it (I looked on Wikipedia). It's a great place that is different from any other neighborhood here

7:06 pm

(BTW, Molly, Funky Town waswritten here in MPLS; but didn't get played on the radio here for a long time because the radio stations thought it was "too black" for Minnesotans!

7:06 pm

clue for the 9 pls

interesting

7:07 pm

cr 9/66, Jeff. Compound word

7:08 pm

cr 9 - Eric Clapton song

where robert johnson met the devil

7:09 pm

By the way Nef, when "Play That Funky Music White Boy" came out, racial tension was so bad in Boston that the song played "Play that funky music...boy".

7:09 pm

ty-Eric is my kinda lookalike

7:10 pm

Really? Sheryl Crow is my kinda lookalike. : P

7:11 pm

Can't believe how many really simple words I've missed!

when china beach was on, dana delany was mine

7:12 pm

Molly, the other thing about the Twin Cities in 1980 (when Funky Town was a hit) was that I believe there were more inter-racial marriages here than any other mid-sized city in the US (I want to say "any" US city; but I can't find that in a quick search)

7:12 pm

Dana Delaney has been in "Body Of Proof" lately.

yes, we but we have rown apart over the years :)

7:14 pm

Dana wore some wicked shoes in that show.

7:15 pm

I've ever seen China Beach and so many other show from that era. Working eves and nights (with young kids) I rarely saw any popular TV shows back then

okey dokey, break time. bbl

7:17 pm

I wonder how many of those shows would be on Netflix; and which ones would be even fun to watch these days?

7:18 pm

wicked shoes like Stid's?

7:18 pm

i watched The Streets of San Francisco on tv this afternoon....

7:20 pm

Um, no. Not at all.

7:20 pm

Michael Douglas was cute....Karl Malden not so much....

7:22 pm

Michael Douglas...I can't go there...not after what he just said about how he got throat cancer. : O

7:22 pm

how did he get throat cancer?

7:23 pm

i hear ya...

7:23 pm

smoking?

7:23 pm

He claimed it was from oral sex.

hpv, which causes cervical cancer as well

7:26 pm

I would imagine it would be a cause of it

7:27 pm

wow

7:27 pm

(or I should say: a "possible cause")

7:27 pm

Hi all...Molly, I think he later clarified his intended comments indicated that oral sex COULD cause it...it is not the ONLY cause.

7:27 pm

<--now worried about cancer

7:28 pm

perhaps he should also have mentioned that drinking, smoking, frig, even breathing toxic air can also cause it.

7:28 pm

just watched Michael douglas and Matt Damon in the story about Liberace I do not know even acting how they could kiss and have sex scenes like they did

7:29 pm

Hey, I didn't say he was right. I just mentioned what he said.

i don't know if there is evidence for this or just anecdotal evidence

7:30 pm

No, but he did not specify that oral sex was the cause of his throat cancer...he merely indicated that it is one of the causes.

7:30 pm

I was at a friend's houseparty last evening and one of the women there had tongue cancer and had part of the left side of her tongue removed about 6 months ago. Her mother sent her a box of pistachios; and she ended up with the same white spot on the right side of her tongue. Her oncologist thinks she has a type of cancer caused by an allergy to nuts! (She will be having this patch removed this next week).

7:31 pm

wouldn't Madonna be dead already if it were true?

7:31 pm

wow...weird....

oh i hope nrk is not here. this is giving me hypochondria. coconut custard, anyone? i made them myself.

7:33 pm

"from my cold dead lips"

7:33 pm

I kind of think that numerous things contribute to cancer...not just one particular thing. but we can alleviate the risk by living as healthily as possible.

7:33 pm

Sounds good, TO. I'll have one; thank you very much! :-)

7:33 pm

down to 11 and it's very slow going.... :o|

7:33 pm

stuck on the am 7 here.

7:34 pm

*giggles at his own sick humor*

here you go. tomorrow, blueberry custard. till i use up these eggs

7:34 pm

all things in moderation

7:34 pm

hi again all!

7:34 pm

i have overstayed. bye

7:34 pm

hi sue

7:34 pm

ty ruru!

7:34 pm

bye TO and hi ruru!

7:35 pm

hi uusue! how was the retreat?

7:35 pm

You're right, Cathyar; there are many different things that cause cancer; but just remember that the overall percentages of cancers in the world population is decreasing (although you wouldn't know it by the media)

7:36 pm

it was great, Cathy! There were just 10 of us there (plus the facilitators) and we had a most amazing time.

7:36 pm

*Ties fingers up*

7:37 pm

I'll bet the smaller size made your retreat even better for you, sue

7:37 pm

it did, nef, we all got to know each other pretty well

7:38 pm

It's great it was for the caregivers too, sue

7:38 pm

??? Molly?

ac 6, no sense leaving with one left

7:38 pm

yes, we are certainly affected by cancer too and need some R&R

7:39 pm

ac 6 you need TO?

7:39 pm

Sorry I mentioned the whole Michael Douglas cancer thing.

7:39 pm

agreed, sue.

yes, so i can get the hell out of here

7:39 pm

oh

7:39 pm

not up or down but ac 6

and ar 5/14.

7:40 pm

allo all! just popped in for a quik lok see...hope every is weathering the fullest moon!

7:40 pm

7:40 pm

HI Pavie

7:40 pm

hi pav!

ok down to ac 6

7:40 pm

just clued it TO

7:40 pm

Nothing better to help heal the soul and the body than quiet relaxation and positive healing...I watched a show last night about the power we really have over our bodies by convincing our brains to help us heal....it was mostly about mental health, but it also touched on how our thoughts can heal our bodies.

7:40 pm

and it's a great clue, ruru

ty night all

7:41 pm

niters, TO!

7:41 pm

Ruru! and Sue! howdy! night TO...

7:41 pm

This seems to be a fast grid...

7:42 pm

we did some meditation with crystal bowls, some tai chi, some equine assisted therapy, some art therapy

7:42 pm

can someone clue the cu 6/24?

7:42 pm

7:42 pm

7:43 pm

7:58 pm

7:59 pm

No

7:59 pm

I have 75 left to find and just now got NBS (I've had NBT for a while). Totally forgot to look for a U tip now......

8:05 pm

Oh my God, I am going to have nightmares tonight. Someone just sent me a link to Weeworld, home of the weemees. : O : O

8:05 pm

have fun, Molly. ;-)

8:06 pm

No, no fun. I need a lobotomy.

8:07 pm

That was disturbing.

8:07 pm

hi hi

8:08 pm

does anybody have a clue for or5/21?

8:08 pm

hi harry!

8:08 pm

hi sue

8:08 pm

Hi Harry, haven't seen you in a while. Did you have a good Father's Day?

8:08 pm

scary icon today, sue

8:08 pm

when was fathers day? today?

8:08 pm

<---having glass of bubbly (rose).. on gay marriage and proposition 8 in California

8:16 pm

DOM and Prop 8

8:16 pm

ah. Hard to say.

8:17 pm

sorry DOMA

8:18 pm

As much as I do not agree, I think our courts are still pretty conservative.

8:20 pm

yes.. but it would have to overturn the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals

8:20 pm

I hope it goes through.. it is long overdue

8:21 pm

I wonder if they will give their ruling on those 2 cases yet. NPR was surprised that there hasn't been a ruling on either of those cases so far.

8:23 pm

clue for so 6/24?

8:24 pm

beginning of not sweet + auto

8:24 pm

thanks ruru

8:26 pm

thanks....working on it...

8:26 pm

And word to my stalkers...I meant that I do not agree with the conservative opinion...

8:27 pm

LOL molly

8:27 pm

Hello again...feet up, dinner done...time to finish this (no timer this time Molly!)

8:27 pm

*scrolls madly through chog*

8:27 pm

hi jill!

8:28 pm

wb...

8:30 pm

Hi uusue! Glad you and Frank had a good weekend!

8:30 pm

we did, jill, it was both interesting and relaxing

8:31 pm

you had me sue

8:31 pm

until the crystal bowl thing

8:31 pm

Ah. I was wondering what I'd missed there for a minute, ruru!

8:32 pm

Looks like an evening thunderstorm for us...

8:32 pm

I understand Montana weather now jilly

8:32 pm

the crystal bowls are played kind of like Tibetan singing bowls (or like the edges of wine glasses); they make a pleasant and rather musical sound

8:33 pm

Crystal bowl music is not for everyone, but it's very soothing.

8:33 pm

LOL ruru, yup....just wait 5 minutes and it'll change..

8:34 pm

while I'm really glad you had a great weekend and learned a lot Sue.. crystal stuff is a bunch of hoo-hah to me

8:34 pm

brb...phone

8:35 pm

I agree about magic crystals; these were more like musical instruments, and I enjoyed them as such

8:35 pm

da 6/24?

8:36 pm

whatever is a de-stressor is a good thing

8:36 pm

Healing from crystals is not "magic" it's about vibration. Again, it's not for everyone. Especially people who don't believe in it.

8:36 pm

da 6 is a plural

8:36 pm

plural of da5/14, penquis

8:37 pm

If you lived next to Marin Molly ... you wouldn't say that

8:37 pm

ty... i thought i had asked if it was a combo word, but guess not....

8:37 pm

some people say weemees vibrate ... but it's not for everyone either :D

8:38 pm

back

8:39 pm

well, these crystal bowls were in fact vibrating (that's how they make sound), and did so quite pleasantly. After playing the woman sang, and that was quite pleasant as well.

8:39 pm

fireworks!

8:40 pm

The second da5/14 and da6/24 are not a combo. That was my answer to your question Pen.

8:40 pm

i am finally done!

8:40 pm

congrats uusue!

8:40 pm

yay penquis!

8:40 pm

WooT WooT WooT penquis!

8:41 pm

LOL at the new icon Molls

8:41 pm

8:46 pm

Oh no! : O Just broke Rule Number 5.

8:49 pm

does that go with Chanel Number 5? (continuing the perfume theme...)

8:50 pm

my mom used to wear Chanel # 5

8:51 pm

No, Chanel #5 wasn't bitter. And my Mom wore it too. Didn't all the 60's Moms?

8:53 pm

mine did too (and Frank just bought me some)

8:54 pm

My fragrance is White Shoulders...long gone except for cheap knock-offs, but I managed to get enough real perfume oil to last my lifetime..

8:54 pm

evening all!

8:54 pm

My husband once asked me what kind of perfume he should buy me. Chanel #5, he asked. No, I said, I don't want to smell like your mom.

8:54 pm

9:17 pm

Musk used to be so "IN" in the 70's....LOL

9:18 pm

Musk of Mimi is a bit to "au natural," if you get my "drift." The cats don't seem to mind........

I've been outside putting some patio blocks in where our fire pit will go. I guess my hole I dug was a bit too deep; now I have to go buy some sand to fill it so the patio blocks are even with the ground level. :-(

9:43 pm

my older sister always wore White Shoulders or Shalimar perfume; I loved Emeraulde but it smelled like rusty tin cans on me. I really never got in to perfumes because I couldn't wear anything to work (especially if it smelled like rusty tin cans!)
