hi spritey

1:37 am

hi sprite

1:37 am

I wouldn't mind a clue for the lone E on the left -- ed 5/14, I guess

1:37 am

*hugs jiilli and pug and rose and joso* A little bit better today, rose, thanks. And you all?

1:38 am

were you ill, sprite?

1:38 am

butt shower, jill

1:38 am

I hate asking for clues when its so early and others are just now starting

1:38 am

after yesterday, with the surgeon yanking my knee around, shocking night. today keeping the pain meds happening, so good.

1:38 am

Iam fine and dandy

1:39 am

jilli: just diagnosed with diabetes and high cholesterol, trying to get the medication right. It is a bit of a mess right now.

1:39 am

and rose, my shoulder is much much better today

1:39 am

good to hear, pug :)

1:39 am

what was shocking Rose

1:39 am

yes, jilli, ed5, alternative spelling for swelling.

1:40 am

oh yeah, the butt shower is en, not ed. Still early here... sorry.

1:40 am

You still feeling tired Sprite

1:40 am

pugs,knee throbbed all night. couldn't sleep properly. and i was burning up. usual reaction of my body to pain.

1:40 am

yeah, very tired, pug. Even told my children I wouldn't get up with them today and I slept in till 8.30 am.

1:41 am

oh sprite, that's a bummer. My sis-in-law got diagnosed a couple of years ago with diabetes and had a very hard time finding the balance. I hope you'll have better luck.

1:41 am

ty granny

1:41 am

oh dear, very uncomfortable, rose :( *Sends gentle healing vibes*

1:41 am

are you still running a fever or are you talking about hot flashes-lol

1:41 am

ah glad that was a clue, not a symptom sprite, how do you console someone for butt showers

1:42 am

I hope so too, jilli, but not optimistic there... I have an eating disorder and trouble moving due to physical handicaps. I have enlisted prof. help.

1:42 am

thanx sprite, but i am very concerned for you. did you med get changed at your last appointment?

1:42 am

almost impossible, joso, lollll

1:43 am

rose: yes. Double dose now. The doctor said we will check again next time and if it is not good, we go higher still. Am now on 1000/day and she said we might even go to 3000/day.

1:43 am

phant -- employer

1:44 am

argh yes, good one jilli

1:44 am

is the blood presure ok sprite

1:44 am

pugs, because of fibromyalgia, my body-temperature control system is out of kilter. when i have acute pain, my body burns, temperature goes up, and skin is very hot to touch. then the painkillers kick in, and i usually go back to sleep.

1:44 am

joso: yes, it is :)

1:44 am

Sprite is it the meds making you so tired or the sugar being so high

1:45 am

and rolodex is not in the dictionary :(

1:45 am

I don't know, pug. I would say the meds. Can't really imagine the sugar influencing me so much all of a sudden, since I haven't had symptoms before.

1:45 am

Is your knee now swollen Rose

1:45 am

um, sprite. i know your BSL was high, but now you are saying how tired you feel. that is a symptom of LOW blood sugar. i think an early check would not go astray.

1:45 am

capitalised, no doubt. Darn. Would have been a beauty, jilli!

1:45 am

hi sugar, makes you sleepy

1:46 am

Well if this dose is making you so tired what is it going to do when they jack it up more

1:46 am

was reading up on symptoms yesterday and it said being sleepy and tired are symptoms of a high, not a low... am I wrong?

1:46 am

low sugar makes you dizzy, sweaty, confused, then dead

1:47 am

both, sprite. and seeing as how your meds were doubled, it could have been too much.

1:47 am

really it can go either--alots depends on the person

1:47 am

you are right sprite

1:47 am

hm, checking: dizzy yes, sweaty no, confused always, dead not yet.

1:48 am

hm ok, will keep an eye on things. If today is like yesterday, I will call the doc.

1:48 am

lol, sprite, something has changed...you need to check your blood sugars.

1:48 am

I wish they would teach you on how to test yourself--not doing so could be dangerous ..because you dont know if you are high or low

1:48 am

guess I should buy a self check thing anyway then.

1:49 am

that's why you should have some hard candy on hand, if sugar very low get a boost before the heart has no fuel

1:49 am

aha....sprite, do have some barley sugar in the house? or orange juice and white sugar?

1:50 am

mine is werthers original, just sitting in my pocker tempting me

1:51 am

sprite, are you still with us?

1:52 am

Rose isnt it strange that her doctor is not monoring her better with all the changes going on in her body right now

1:52 am

no barley sugar, I think. Or is that grape sugar?

1:52 am

pugs, i am concerned.

1:52 am

oh lol joso, that is SO dutch!

1:53 am

type 2 is not really an urgent problem, long term pain in the but

1:53 am

butt

1:53 am

ok dear ones, I just ordered a blood sugar checker. I will keep an eye on things. Between 6 and 7 is normal, right? Below 4 is dangerous, over 10 does damage.

1:54 am

Me too---her being new to this and them playing with med dosages its not really safe for her to be alone

1:55 am

persistant over 10, your doc probably happy with an 8 average

1:55 am

I dont know what your usual number is Sprite--it veries for each person

1:55 am

sprite, mix a teaspoon of sugar into a glass of fruit juice. if you feel better after drinking it, you blood sugar is too low. if there is no change, or you feel more tired, your blood sugar is still high.

1:55 am

ok rose... but if it is too high, doesn't that boost it even further?

1:56 am

yes, sprite, but it takes longer to lose consciousness with high sugars, low sugars it is very quick

1:56 am

I gave in to the sleepiness yesterday, slept like a dead marmot, then was very thirsty so thought sugar might be high and I did some exercise. That kind of helped.

1:57 am

it will but not bad Sprite--if its high drinking water to flush it out will help

1:57 am

varries alot through the day, just before and after meals, waking, exercise, phase of the moon.

1:57 am

ok dear friends. Don't worry, I will be ok.

1:58 am

yes, counter intuitive, but if sleepy, exercise

1:58 am

will remember that, joso

1:58 am

I am worried! I dont think your doctor is montoring you very well or giving you the knowledge you need

1:59 am

of coarse you still need sleep, so sleepy can mean you need.... sleep

1:59 am

if you go too low you can go into a diabetic coma or too high can lead into a stroke

2:00 am

it is still early days, pug. I never had symptoms before. And I think the doctor doesn't want to bombard me with stuff. I have flyers now, that inform me of most facts, a food guide, and meds. Will go back to doctor tomorrow.

2:00 am

sorry, not tomorrow, next week

2:01 am

if you are consistantly thirsty, slightly salty lips, and peeing alot, blood sugar high and sugar is being forced out through your kidney, not good.

2:01 am

nbt

2:01 am

pug: I don't think there is a chance of such a low yet. We are still trying to get it down.

2:01 am

congrats jilli

2:01 am

sprite, I'm glad you have all these helpers here!

2:01 am

well you should tell your doctor how tire you are becoming

2:02 am

w2g Jilli

2:02 am

ok joso, that is clear as well. I think I have more trouble with the side effects of the meds than with the sugar.

2:02 am

sprite, while you are waiting for delivery of blood sugar monitor, you can purchase test strips from the chemist, which you can use to test your pee.

2:02 am

me too, jilli :) Babble friends are priceless.

2:02 am

low is unlikely, really only if you overdo the exercise

2:02 am

good job, jilli!

2:02 am

yay, jilli, nice job

2:02 am

ty joso. And that's it for me tonight -- bed beckons. Take care, Sprite, and farewell all...*poof

2:03 am

no chance of that then, joso, I am too limited physically to get to that point.

2:03 am

night jilli, sleep well and dream even better

2:03 am

night, jilli. sweet dreams, hun. enjoy the new tele and desktop.

2:04 am

Rose is it today you go back to the doctor

2:04 am

g'nite jilly, rest well

2:04 am

opps it will be your tomorrow

2:04 am

pugs had 3D x-ray of pelvis, hips, knees and ankles today. see surgeon next week.

2:05 am

any reactions from work or back-to-work or work cover yet, rose?

2:05 am

did you get the reading of the xrays or you have to wait

2:06 am

nope, sprite. the screaming ( from workcover and/or bosses) will start next week. lol

2:06 am

lol rose. As long as they scream: we are so sorry! We will do all we can to help you!

2:07 am

pugs, i have to wait. these were to make sure the prosthesis is still in good alignment. which means i may only need a ligament repair...

2:08 am

its not like you asked for this or that the money is coming from their pockets and plus you have paid into it incase something like this comes up

2:09 am

*keeps fingers crossed for rose and types with elbows*

2:10 am

*giggle* you should have heard my return-to-work co-ordinator. she was swearing so bad, because of what i am going through. she says she would like to get her hands around the neck of the environmental person, who left a wet, slippery floor unsigned, and unattended.

2:10 am

woooot rose. Good lady, that.

2:11 am

always nice to be wanted

2:11 am

tearing ligs. can be as nasty as a break..I know because as a teenager I tore mine in my right leg going down a flight of stairs

2:12 am

I was in a cast for 6 weeks

2:12 am

yeah, sprite. she is so straight down the middle. can see what's fair for the worker, and what's fair for the business.

2:12 am

never broke a bone, tore anything, the advatages of being a nerd

2:12 am

that is perfect, rose.

2:12 am

pug: that wasn't fun for you

2:13 am

yes, sprite. and she takes the time to talk to the worker, makes sure they are getting all the support that is fair and reasonable.

2:14 am

sounds like a gem gran

2:14 am

very good. At least there is someone there who sees your side of things clearly.

2:14 am

no it wasent and the doctor was upset I waited a few days before going. I thought I had just twisted my ankle

2:14 am

aww, poor pugs. was it the achilles tendon, or a tendon in your knee?

2:15 am

did they make a fuss at school over the cast?

2:15 am

it wasent the knee Rose

2:15 am

joso, sprite, to have someone like her by your side is immensely comforting. can't tell how many times i wept on her shoulder.

2:15 am

8i

2:16 am

g'day marigold

2:16 am

6q

2:16 am

thats nice you have someone like that in your corner Rose

2:16 am

pugs, lower in your leg, behind the ankle?

2:17 am

Rose Iam not sure--I was thinking between the knee and the ankle--I was cast from below the knee and over the foot

2:18 am

my whole leg was black by the time I got to the doctor

2:18 am

yup, pugs. achilles tendon. that must have been one heck of a tumble you took. poor pugs.

2:19 am

must have hurt badly

2:20 am

I was babysitting and went to answer the phone and thought I could skip a couple of steps and when I came down my ankle went to the side

2:20 am

oohhh, ouch!!

2:20 am

it took my breath away and I didnt make it to the phone--lol

2:21 am

we got to watch you pug, thier are times for a good british stiff upper lip, and times to scream I WANT MY MOMMY. you seem to shy away for screaming a bit too much. Have you looked into cortozone pills yet

2:22 am

hear hear, joso.

2:22 am

no Joso not yet

2:23 am

you still have joint pain

2:23 am

Iam a redhead and light skinned and a bruise on me is like neon lights in the night-lol

2:23 am

glucasamine chondritine. Order them... now :)

2:23 am

of course Joso --Iam aging-lol

2:24 am

see, we have to keep on top of this one ladies

2:24 am

you should of seen the bruising on my body when my horse fell with me on the blacktop road

2:24 am

for a sec I read you had to keep on top of us ladies. Then I blinked.

2:25 am

well that sounds like fun too

2:25 am

;-)

2:25 am

lol Sprite! you are sounding like Ruru

2:25 am

must have been spectacular. A horse stepped on my daughter's knee, thank God on a sandy path. It was twice as thick and more colours than we could count.

2:25 am

*grin*

2:26 am

ruru and I usually have lots of fun punning around.

2:26 am

I think thats the only time I came close to looking like I had a tan-lol

2:26 am

I would hope you where on top pug, the other way is very awkward

2:27 am

Rose gives him a run for his money too

2:27 am

hehehe indeed

2:28 am

well Joso thats how it started out

2:29 am

aww, stop it, you're making my head swell. lolol

2:30 am

that is good, rose, it will go together nicely with your knee then ;)

2:30 am

roflol, sprite. gee, thanx

2:30 am

:D

2:30 am

giggle

2:30 am

giggle

2:31 am

plus dont forget she gets feverish too with the swelling

2:31 am

huh, you describing me or himself in a passion....

2:32 am

you of course

2:32 am

or together

2:32 am

one good alergic reaction and we can hve the rest of her puff ut to match the knee

2:33 am

hehe

2:33 am

hello friends

2:33 am

yeah, right, joso

2:33 am

hey trif

2:33 am

puff goes the dragon...

2:33 am

hi trif

2:33 am

Hi Tri--long time no see

2:33 am

hiya Triffles! *huggles*

2:33 am

can't sleep, might as well babble

2:33 am

not the one in your kitchen, sprite?

2:34 am

the very one

2:34 am

Trif, sorry you can't sleep, but happy to see you

2:34 am

*tickle, tickle*

2:34 am

thanks

2:34 am

*snorts fire*

2:35 am

trif, do you have something on your mnd? we're here to listen, hun

2:35 am

dont i always? its okay, think I will keep my own counsel....if you don't mind?

2:36 am

np'strif. whenever you are ready.

2:36 am

no, don't mind, Trif. Talk if you want and we will listen. Don't talk and we will keep you company.

2:37 am

whatever it is hugs to know we are here and care

2:38 am

thanks. I just feel like what gets typed in the chog is eternal, you know?

2:39 am

yes i know, it comes back to bite you, right?

2:39 am

ah yes, that is true. Though hardly checked back on, but still. If you want to get something off your chest, please feel free to email me... addy in profile...

2:39 am

its just there forever, for anyone to read

2:40 am

ditto, trif. can always chat via email.

2:40 am

true, and you don't know me,

2:40 am

I vouch for joso. 100%

2:41 am

general question, no details: how to you tell a house guest, in the gentlest way possible, that it is time to hit the road?

2:41 am

Strip the bed of sheets and hide all other bed linen.

2:41 am

tnx sprite, but that is something i think time is needed for, and there may be lurkers

2:42 am

I really enjoyed your staying with us, but I feel the need to be all by myself again.

2:42 am

oh dear. is this 'guest' a sort of boarder, supposedly looking for other accommodation?

2:42 am

And good morning/evening all.

2:42 am

roflol Haz :D

2:42 am

I'm not known for gentle

2:43 am

hi haz

2:43 am

but then the tale of woe begins anew....I have no where else to go....my car is broken.....i feel so comfortable here.....

2:43 am

*and to make it easier for you, I already packed your bag*

2:43 am

subtle, sprite! hahaha

2:43 am

I just talk and dont think about whos reading it or lurking. Someone might have the same problem and is afraid to air it so if it helps someone then it does.

2:44 am

haz, could you say, would you like me to go with you to the realtor to see if we can find somewhere for you?

2:44 am

ah, a tale of woe. No way of breaking that gently. I think honesty would be best. "I really understand things are hard for you and I was happy to help you out for a while, but now I really need to be alone again."

2:44 am

thanks all. good advice all around.

2:44 am

could you get them a place and like pay amonths rent to get them started

2:44 am

Or you could have someone else lined up for the room?

2:44 am

far to subtle, how about if you don't get that grayhound won't you miss your luggage?

2:45 am

or do what my parents did, had a newborn, brought it home, said newborn was a screamer. boarders moved out very quickly.

2:45 am

I like Haz's and joso's suggestions though :)

2:45 am

Hi Haz

2:45 am

as they say in dutch: fish and guests stay fresh only for 3 days.

2:46 am

hes on my couch, so no room to address. I actually could stand him staying a bit longer. Valentine is furious that I have had this guy staying for so long as it is. (its an old high school friend that came into town - NO sexual history, and valentine isn't usually jealous, but he has had it, apparently. And thus a HOST of other issues come into play).

2:46 am

Is this a good friend of yours Tri

2:46 am

we have that expression too, sprite :)

2:46 am

not sure Trif would be willing to have a newborn for this. Throwing out a house guest to make room for one that will stay at least 18 years.... nah.

2:46 am

lol sprite here we say "fish and visitors spoil after three days"

2:47 am

hehehe that is nice, to know it is an international saying

2:47 am

How long has he been sleeping on the couch?

2:47 am

Hi ya ursh

2:47 am

hi all

2:48 am

hiya ursh :)

2:48 am

since sunday night. valentine met him, and they got along very well. valentine went home monday morning, friend has been here ever since.

2:48 am

ohh, trif, he really needs to move on...couldn't you start playing music, very LOUDLY. and explain this normal, but i haven't been able to play my music like this since you moved in.

2:48 am

well, it IS a weird situation where your love isn't staying and some relative stranger is.

2:48 am

I agree, I could use him moving on. Its been a long enough visit.

2:49 am

but he isn't a stranger to ME sprite. I love him like a brother, and that is ALL.

2:49 am

if it WAS my brother, valentine wouldn't be having these issues....

2:49 am

why should I have to boot a friend out before I am ready, just because valentine is having a tantrum that is TOTALLY unfounded?

2:50 am

honesty, then. Tell him: I love you like a brother and I was happy to let you stay for a bit, but it is putting pressure on my relationship with Valentine and I have to ask you to find another place to stay.

2:50 am

I think there needs to be a definite time limit to be set so that he knows he has to be away by tomorrow evening, for instance. Just be honest with him.

2:50 am

yep, what Haz says.

2:50 am

I say just be honest with him and explain that Val. isnt comfy with him there. If hes such a friend he should understand

2:50 am

ugh. this is hard. no matter what, I hurt/disappoint someone and i HATE that

2:51 am

Apart from Valentine's feelings, wouldn't you like your couch back?

2:51 am

well it's his own fault. you are not his mother....

2:51 am

Trif, it is impossible to move through life without doing that. Please remember that doing that is a result of people having expectations of you. That is their issue, not yours.

2:51 am

yes. yes I would. but I dont need it back right this second....

2:51 am

Just set a time, a date, say friday or sunday. you don't want to toss him out on his ear, but there has to be an end, a time may well relieve the boyfriend too, just knowing there will be an end.

2:51 am

thanks sprite, but Im the one in the middle here.

2:52 am

aww, poor trif...

2:52 am

and gives guest a bit of prep time

2:52 am

*hugs Trif*

2:52 am

aha, what about saying valentine is coming over and we need some privacy.

2:53 am

the thing is, valentine and I are supposed to be going to the cape this weekend to visit his mother, whilst the girls are on Brokeback Mountain (aka their dad's house). I figured this is ideal - friend can stay here to watch the dogs, valentine and I can go away. Well, I guess that wasn't good enough either. Valentine wants him out yesterday. sigh.

2:54 am

how do I say "you have to go so I can let the person I hired in to watch the dogs, in my empty house?"

2:54 am

I hear you say what Valentine wants and what the houseguest wants. But what do you want? You will feel best about it all if you are loyal to yourself.

2:54 am

trif, valentine is right, hun. no-one wants to share their loved one with another.

2:54 am

yeah hugs from me too--its not easy being in the middle like that. Ive been there before. Its going to have to be YOU that makes the choices.A real friend will understand

2:54 am

No, don't let him stay. Don't make him feel more needed than he really is.

2:55 am

valentines biggest concern is that a) friend will burn the house down smoking in bed or b) the girls, who NEVER spend the whole weekend with their dad, will come home and friend will be there, and how creepy is that?

2:55 am

pretty creepy, to be honest

2:55 am

you guys RULE at advice....just so you know

2:55 am

maybe he can stay with Valentine--lol

2:56 am

He might move in his own furniture while you're away and claim squatters' rights. Don't take the risk.

2:56 am

both valid points, trif. i'm sorry, hun. but from where i stand, your friend has to leave.

2:56 am

and you've known this guy for years and trust him?

2:56 am

yes joso

2:57 am

wow, I guess I just totally misread this situation. thank god for you folks!!!

2:57 am

and if Valentine was ok withit you would be happy to have him stay till sunday, actually a bit handy for going away for the weekend

2:58 am

Maybe Valentine is reading some vibes from this guy that you cant see

2:58 am

Could you have a not-so-subtle telephone conversation which he overhears in which you tell how you need for him to go but don't know how to move him on?

2:59 am

That way, if he's a real friend, he'll understand that he's causing you problems and will want to move on.

2:59 am

thats the rub - valentine is NOT okay with the situation, and said basically, "if friend is staying at your house for the weekend while we are away I will be so uncomfortable that we just wont go."

2:59 am

I'm all for the direct approach, as awful as it would be, just explain that it has been lovely having him stay but it is time to go. At least it will be all out in the open.

2:59 am

so I feel a bit pissed that valentine is passive aggressively making decisions for me

3:00 am

I really feel a lot of resentment

3:00 am

then you should ask yourself: Do you trust Valentine's opinion? Because he may be picking up some vibes you are missing.

3:00 am

trif, something i do when faced with a particularly difficult decision. draw up 2 lists. the pro's and con's. then stand back and weigh them up.

3:01 am

yeah I hear you. But when you dig in your heels just because you don't want Val to manipulate you, you are still not doing what you want.

3:01 am

oh, good point!!!!

3:01 am

if you took rose's route to decision making you could also point out to Valentine that you are making a reasoned decision and not giving in to his pressure, one way or the other.

3:02 am

good point katie,and rose

3:02 am

Include in your list of pros that the wise people of babble say he has to go.

3:03 am

hahah okay haz I surely will!

3:03 am

okay, trif you're off the hook. *hands trif paper and pen* go to it, hun.

3:03 am

Yep Haz we do indeed :)

3:03 am

I don't blame you, I think the big v is being unreasonable. Perhaps if you explane to friend that valentine is being a pain but you want to please him anyway, friend my voulunteer to go. does friend know the whole problem?

3:04 am

I had a very frank talk with friend after the fracas with valentine. he was sympathetic, but I am not sure he fully understands that he needs to shift it. now.

3:04 am

Then tell him.

3:04 am

that is not a good sign then, Trif. It makes clear he values his reasons to stay more than your reasons for wanting him to move on.

3:05 am

I'm off to do some work, however Trif when you make the decision if you do decide he has to go (and personally I think he needs to) just front up and tell him it's time to leave.

3:05 am

well, make it clear.

3:05 am

bye Katie, have a grand day

3:05 am

Gosh Haz we are definitely on the same page on this one!

3:05 am

Bye Sprite you too

3:05 am

bye katie, and thanks

3:06 am

Isn't it easy to give advice when (a) an ocean separates you from the problem and (b) you don't have to do the telling?

3:06 am

later, katie. and lovely to see you, hun

3:06 am

can we all chog about something else now? I am feeling just exhausted of the whole thing. no matter what, someone gets hurt.

3:06 am

Bye, Katie.

3:06 am

grin, yes it is. But still, it also gives us the objectivity to look at the problem unbiased.

3:07 am

Okay, Katie's gone so we can talk about her.

3:07 am

we can always talk about the weather or about food. Food would be good. I love food.

3:07 am

okay, well...my right big toe appears to have an ingrown nail...how's that for a change of subject?

3:07 am

ok, pug looked around for some maintenence programs for you, nothing will work on a 98 machine anymore

3:07 am

oh no rose! those are SO painful!

3:08 am

no you can't - her mother is still here :)

3:08 am

carefully dig it up, cut it off straight, and put a tiny piece of bandage over the spot under the nail so it won't grow back in again.

3:08 am

Hello mari!

3:08 am

3:10 am

I dont think Ive met either so Hello there

3:10 am

3:10 am

3:10 am

(pedicurist)

3:10 am

3:10 am

Toodle-oo! (No problem, sprite)

3:12 am

3:13 am

you are good for a lot of things, rose! Actually, you are good, period.

3:13 am

hello mari

3:13 am

is the e in the second column, third row, fishy? please

3:14 am

nope, trif. em8

3:14 am

no, it isn't, Trif. It is em8.

3:14 am

got it! thx

3:14 am

:)

3:15 am

nbt pour moi.

3:15 am

at least I got THAT right

3:15 am

em8, e + not female + most of past tense to consume + either/**

3:15 am

yay, trif...you the one, girl!!

3:15 am

I got a problam, my coffee comes in these nice plastic flip-top jars. And if you take the label off its a great container. Ive gave some to everyone I know. and I got two bags of them and a boxfull .They are just multiplying.And I feel guilty throwing them out.So what do I do

3:15 am

aw poor Trif, sorry you feel bad. You rock at babble and you are a beautiful person. Just don't let your good heart lead you into trouble.

3:16 am

can you recycle them puglet?

3:16 am

re-cycle?

3:16 am

send them to me?

3:16 am

or mail them to me...lolol

3:16 am

we dont have that near me

3:16 am

would a local food pantry or preschool need them?

3:16 am

lollll rose! We can share!

3:16 am

lolol, snap sprite

3:17 am

and also a snap with trif.

3:17 am

ooh I didnt think of that Tri--good ideal

3:17 am

sunday schools is another option

3:17 am

Stop drinking so much coffee, solved. Lol

3:18 am

btw, am taking the magnesium malate now, rose. It arrived yesterday. I actually think I have a bit less pain in my back.

3:18 am

lol Anita, and hi :)

3:18 am

following trif's line of thought...anywhere kids congegrate.

3:18 am

lol, and hello anita

3:18 am

Sprite way way back in the chat you and Rose were talking about dragons--Is your kitchen in that theme

3:18 am

Morning all,tried to keep quiet.

3:18 am

pug: no, but my icon is.

3:19 am

oh, sprite, am so pleased, hun

3:19 am

hehehe we lured you out, Anita. Glad to see you.

3:19 am

thank you so much, rose. For caring and sharing.

3:19 am

lol Anita and Hi and thanks for the good ideals Tri.

3:19 am

just because my kid goes to one, there is this: at art schools they often have a free supplies area. At primo's school it is called the "re-store." All leftover supplies that people have to share go in, and no cost to take stuff out to use in projects

3:19 am

that is awesome, Trif.

3:20 am

I just hate throwing out good trash--lol

3:20 am

nah, nah, nah, anita. as i said, lovely to see you

3:20 am

its hilarious looking in there - one shoe, a single tube of paint, a pad of paper with about five sheets....the brain goes in to over drive thinking of uses for the itmes

3:21 am

that is inspiring in itself, Trif. I think it is a wonderful idea.

3:21 am

sprite, remember if back pain still there in AM, you can take another one.

3:21 am

do you have muscle pain or disc/bone pain, sprite?

3:21 am

I did this morning, rose. And I really think it is helping.

3:22 am

Well I am sat in bed too lazy to get up. Drinking a cuppa and with all this free entertainment.

3:22 am

What more can u ask for.

3:22 am

I have both, Trif. I already take glucasamine chondritine for the joints, but rose said magnesium malate may help uncramp the muscles.

3:22 am

yay!!! sprite. it is such an unsung hero of a medication....

3:22 am

sounds good to me, anita!

3:22 am

a nice naked man, maybe, Anita

3:22 am

sounds delightful Anita'

3:23 am

have you tried deer antler velvet? its MAGIC

3:23 am

or a woman...we dont judge!

3:23 am

haha

3:23 am

exactly!

3:23 am

whoa, trif....

3:23 am

Good 1 sprite

3:23 am

deer antler velvet? Ok, are you pulling my leg or... :)

3:23 am

gonna google that trif.

3:24 am

there you go Tri send your friend to Anita-lol

3:24 am

anyway, deer antler velvet sounds freaky, but I know a TON of people who swear by it, and it's properties. Long known as a powerful medicine in the native american circles....

3:24 am

Pass on the woman, I don't need her

3:24 am

never heard of that Tri

3:25 am

I was just saying, in chog there is only safety and friendship, no judgement. unless you have a sheep or sommat in there -- then we rain down hell fire on you :)

3:25 am

ok, it is a growth hormone, actually.

3:25 am

depends on the preparation, sprite

3:25 am

yeah. No hurting animals allowed in chog. Or anywhere else. But consenting adults... go ahead and have fun.

3:27 am

*orders a cute, sexy naked male for Anita*

3:27 am

will look into it, Trif, thanks

3:28 am

im going to try to sleep some now, before work. love to all

3:28 am

my man is cute and sexy...but you NOT gonna get your hands on him...he's mine!!!

3:29 am

wheres the Lone Ranger? I see Tonto-lol

3:29 am

mine is too, rose. But we keep ours to ourselves ;)

3:29 am

xoxox, trif, sweet sleep, hun. hope you can resolve your prob's.

3:29 am

sleep well, Trif. Will think of you and hold you in my prayers.

3:29 am

:-)

3:29 am

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

3:30 am

hehehe, shall I call some people to the PB? Here goes: "Marco!"

3:30 am

bye Tri--nice seeing you again

3:30 am

3:31 am

3:31 am

3:31 am

3:32 am

He dont hardly talk to me but I like it when you or Sprite or some of the others gang up on him

3:32 am

3:32 am

3:33 am

3:33 am

I dont know about that

3:34 am

time to make some popcorn, brb

3:34 am

oh, a whole drama about someone pretending to be several people here on babble and causing fights and even making us all worry about one of those people who died... very irritating stuff.

3:35 am

thats awful to do

3:35 am

oh ow, pug's halo is gleaming...she doesn't pick on the ruru. sprite, we need to teach this lady .

3:36 am

pu

3:36 am

it was. Some people just don't trust newcomers anymore. But I do trust you, pug... you are genuine :) And yes, go ahead and pick on the ruru... he loves a good pun.

3:36 am

I do enjoy pulling a good prank now and then

3:36 am

*snuggles down in joso's lounge* 'ello, mate.

3:37 am

He must of fell asleep at the computer

3:41 am

I dressed up as a old man once and went to my sisters house real early in the morn(like before daylight) I was goiing to hide in the backseat of her car and surprise her when she left for work.But she had locked it so I had to scare her another way. I keep making a noise at her front screen door(like it made when it wasent latched right) and when she came to fix it I jumped out of the dark shadows and grabbed her! lol

3:42 am

{{sprite}}

4:12 am

by sprite

4:13 am

is the x good for anything? besides being a tease?

4:13 am

one haloween i went to my brothers birthday party as a headless ghost, got an oversize coat, cut a hole in the chest and stuck my head through, willed the coat with padding and wraped an arm around my head. put a funnel in the neck with a tube running inside, down the arm , through the stuffed glove and into the corner of my mouth. Drank by poring it into the neck stub.

4:13 am

I bet Rose has filled up on corn and whatever else and is about to run out on us too

4:14 am

no such luck, pugs..needed a potty break and a refill of glass

4:14 am

that is a hoot, joso! Love the idea of drinking through your neck

4:14 am

cheers, Rosie

4:14 am

lol---Joso--creative

4:14 am

yikes have a gpp

4:14 am

when people figured out how this worked they started to pour random drinks down my neck.

4:14 am

good one all have to work in a few

4:14 am

gpp?

4:15 am

got totaly ripped

4:15 am

good I meant sprti

4:15 am

ruby, yes, dear the x is not needed

4:15 am

meant good but had finger spasms

4:16 am

I hope you didn;t have to drinve home although it would hsve been funny to see the policeme's faces with no head driving

4:16 am

oh, dear, so not only were you headless..but you were also legless?

4:16 am

no way i could drive, in costume or not

4:17 am

phantom: peyote

4:17 am

how did you get home then? taxi?

4:18 am

my brother, crashed on his couch

4:19 am

Ive never been drunk. Aways afraid what I might do

4:20 am

would be very afraid to have you ladies at that party, especilly gran

4:20 am

I once got so drunk on a photo shoot with a gallery member, drinking tequila, that I was on the floor of my house, alone, thinking I would die there and hoping I would

4:20 am

(very long ago)

4:20 am

and why is that

4:20 am

I was paralyzed

4:21 am

what would you pour down my neck, lol

4:21 am

oh dear Ruby---how awful--I bet you were sick as a dog too

4:21 am

no, that was the odd part, alcohol never makes me throw up

4:21 am

but I was Young then lol

4:21 am

oh Joso now now

4:23 am

Ive drank enough to feel good but not lose control.And I dont like being sick

4:23 am

you're a better man than I, Gunga Din!

4:24 am

don't drink at all now

4:24 am

and as a teen (a year or two ago--lol) I tried the wacky smoke and threw up every time so that ended that

4:24 am

when i finally have a full bar, diabeaties

4:24 am

I am careful now,can't afford to fall

4:25 am

I just don't have much capacity; what others can drink, knocks me on my ar**

4:25 am

my downfall now is cigs and coffee

4:26 am

my favorite type of date

4:26 am

is what Joso--weed-cigs or coffee

4:27 am

hahah, joso, just had a telemarketer and I said "I'm sorry, I don't speak French". Bad liar

4:27 am

i'm just a bourbon gal...and any sweetish wine, red or white. still not smoking.

4:27 am

one who falls on her ar**

4:27 am

never smoked except weed when I was very young

4:28 am

and now,off to lunch

4:28 am

Iam so glad for you Rose that you kicked it

4:28 am

4:28 am

4:28 am

bye ruby

4:28 am

night ruby. hope you have a wonderful day. and hope himself behaves.

4:29 am

Ive never really been into either---drugs nor booze

4:30 am

running with crowd and trying to fit in in my younger days(which I didnt)

4:30 am

*giggle* ruby, DH says, 'sorry i don't have a phone' when telemarketers ring up.

4:31 am

once in a while my girlfriend brings us something to sip on around the camp fire(like cider and rum)

4:31 am

AND they are the ones who hang up...

4:33 am

I can just picture you and the telemarketing sales person

4:33 am

liked booze, rarely got totaly ripped after out of the teens, would drink until a certain point then not want more, nurse the rest of the glass all night. but now, there is no hangover like a diabetic hangover, a whole body experiance.

4:34 am

thats your body saying no-no

4:37 am

aww, joso.

4:37 am

don't you just hate it when our body starts to limit our activities?

4:39 am

darn, dinner nearly ready. roast chicken and salad, pugs..lol...so sad, i know what you are going to ask...see you all at the flip...

4:39 am

hate it more when the brain dont except it but makes you think its still there

4:39 am

yes, i used to do 14 summersaults in water, now smoking has cut my wind down so i can only do 2

4:40 am

loved the few hot days we had

6:14 am

how about you?

sounds so nice...it will be with us a while longer!

6:15 am

I lived in Miami before here, so I know what Florida summers are like. Even when it's really hot here, the humidity stays low, so it's not unpleasant

that would be heaven!

6:15 am

this year's winter and spring were horrible -- no sunshine at all

that's hard to take

6:18 am

89 words and newspaper time

6:18 am

12:50 pm

hi Aloy

12:50 pm

hi bichon

12:52 pm

am visiting my daughter, who has a 10yr old Bichon named Oliver. Oliver is having some health issues (Cushings disease) but is doing better lately..

12:54 pm

That's too bad, but that can be treated with meds, right?

12:55 pm

yes.. and yesterday the vet added another as she suspects diabetes insipidus as well, sigh

12:56 pm

Diabetes insipidus, is that shown by consuming excess water?

12:57 pm

yes, and frequent urination

12:57 pm

10 years old is pretty young for a Bichon. Hopefully meds will give him some more good years.

12:58 pm

hope so too! how long do Bichons normally live?

12:59 pm

Before these two [who are close to 4], we had two. The first one died of cancer when he was 12 and the other lived til he was 16 and 1/2. They're generally a pretty healthy breed with long lives.

1:00 pm

Well, must toddle off for early dinner, going to a free dramatic lecture at our local museum tonight. It is called An Evening with Pierre Cruzatte. "Pierre Cruzatte was a French-Indian boatman and fiddler on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. In this presentation his spirit, believing it is still July 14, 1805, is surprised to encounter the audience

5:39 pm

*full monty poof*

5:39 pm

sounds interesting!- Enjoy

5:43 pm

Hey DR

5:48 pm

5:50 pm

Not much. Sad that summer whizzed by so quickly.

5:51 pm

yes, it truly did

6:06 pm

I want that job description "Boatman and Fiddler"

6:12 pm

It's a charmed life for some folks.

6:32 pm

that's better than the Buttman and the Diddler I guess

6:34 pm

You have a point there

6:38 pm

Certainly more PG. :D

6:40 pm

man.. these a's are tough

6:46 pm

I wish this grid was in English

6:47 pm

.great.. i have something to look forward to :P

6:48 pm

hi all, back to finish

6:48 pm

ruru, I have all the a's. if you want help

6:48 pm

Oh wait...REJOICE! I have learned a bunch of new words! (That I will never use)

6:48 pm

I'm missing one..i'll find it somehow

6:49 pm

must be twisty

6:49 pm

6:49 pm

6:49 pm

duuuuuuuh ooooooh

6:51 pm

peri's here!

6:51 pm

:-)

6:53 pm

The bar is open. Drinks are on me.

6:53 pm

G&T pls

6:53 pm

or maybe a gin martini

6:53 pm

Gin and tonic for the lady, with fresh squeezed lime.

6:54 pm

mmm, thank you

6:54 pm

If you're going to drink martinis, you might as well just open the bottle of gin and chug.

6:55 pm

I guess go. but that is not very ladylike is it? need to buy some olives and I need a martini glass too

6:55 pm

it would be less fattening. I hav a mini muffin top again and I do not like it.

6:55 pm

Oh, we're going to be dainty. Okay. I'll chill a martini glass for you then.

6:56 pm

haha

6:56 pm

I love olives but I tasted a dirty martini once and it was nasty

6:57 pm

Olives are okay, olive juice, no way. Dirty martinis are nasty.

6:58 pm

ma6 pls

6:58 pm

mard

6:59 pm

I have come to the conclusion that I do not like store birthday cakes. they are much too sweet

7:00 pm

It's the icing, it's all sugar.

7:00 pm

yes, but the rest of the cake was pretty sweet. it was a cute little cake tho. family members birthday

7:01 pm

I usually bake my own cakes, but if I go store bought, I go ice cream cake.

7:01 pm

I need the ma6, pls don't tell me it is a fish

7:01 pm

Ice cream cakes are better

7:02 pm

ma6...hang your Christmas stocking there

7:03 pm

d'oh, ty, Molls

7:03 pm

You are lucky that I think whacking people with a fish is as lame as talking about "the monkeys"

7:07 pm

back now to finish this thing

7:09 pm

Morning all - glad i'm not the only one finding this grid difficult!

7:10 pm

I'm finding it very difficult

7:10 pm

Just listed with 50 to go - I'll turn to morewords soon I think!

7:11 pm

I'm missing a M.. and I just can't find it

7:12 pm

I'm missing 6 ms - so probably wouldn't be any help!

7:12 pm

got it

7:12 pm

peri.. don't leave

7:15 pm

Hey Liz

7:15 pm

Hi Molly - thanks for some of the earlier clues!

7:16 pm

Anytime, dearie dear : P

7:18 pm

mmm

7:18 pm

I may have to list

7:18 pm

i'm pretty stuck

7:19 pm

My lips are sealed : X

7:19 pm

2 ms now!

7:19 pm

1m left!

7:20 pm

sealed?

7:20 pm

have I mentioned lately how much I hate babblets hidden in the grid

7:21 pm

1 year into babble and the babblets still get me confused!

7:21 pm

Yay! Ms massacred!

7:22 pm

go Liz go

7:23 pm

ty - 36 here but that's progress on the 90 I started the morning with!

7:26 pm

Weird words I'm finding by guesswork!

7:26 pm

peri...come back

7:27 pm

Don't think she's listening!

7:27 pm

*just mentioning her name works :D

7:28 pm

:)

7:28 pm

Peri...the new Babble mantra...

7:29 pm

I'd love a clue for either pa 6 please

7:29 pm

pa + pu4, then change the last vowel for the other

7:30 pm

ty - good that I only have one pu 4 and it was the right one!

7:32 pm

That pu 4 was one I guessed, thinking it was the name of a place I visited in Yugoslavia back when it was Yugoslavia!

7:36 pm

For some reason, I know that word. Maybe because I have such little tolerance for people who do it. (whimper, whine, pu4)

7:37 pm

I was thinking of the other vowel at the end!

7:37 pm

That was the airport we flew into!

7:37 pm

Oh, I have no memory storage for all the obscure monetary units in these grids.

7:38 pm

That Zambian one yesterday was new to me! But I don't remember it exactly today!

7:39 pm

Ngee! And I swear to God, Sue is familiar with every oddball word in these grids. She has either been to the country, has a friend from the country, or has eaten the food.

7:39 pm

:)

7:40 pm

Sorry, ngwee

7:41 pm

That's the one!

7:41 pm

Sounds like a sneeze from someone stuffed up.

7:41 pm

Bless you!

8:26 pm

8:26 pm

8:27 pm

hi welki, ruru

8:28 pm

8:28 pm

hi doren

8:28 pm

poor guys - first one, then the other. been a (really) crappy week

8:28 pm

you can read everything he ever wrote... pure joy (imho)

8:28 pm

the last wasn't the best, but still good. (that old cape magic)

8:29 pm

i'm planning on it - if his other stuff as as good, might be a close second to john irving for me

8:29 pm

sounds like cocydia (Sp?) or Giardia (Sp?)

8:29 pm

interesting comparison... i like them both too

8:30 pm

who knows - could have been either, especially giardia since we're at the lake a lot - and here, they don't vaccinate against giardia anymore. anyway, they're on the mend and i'm sending Bissel a thank you note :)

8:32 pm

glad they're doing better

8:32 pm

ru, how's dylan?

8:33 pm

oh dorens, did you ever write to the metropolitan restaurant manager?

8:34 pm

he's better doren

8:34 pm

he had a bad reaction to the tap water at the kennel

8:34 pm

what was wrong with your boy??

8:34 pm

upper GI upset

8:34 pm

ohhhhhh - so he had a crappy week, too. kindred spirits.

8:35 pm

i did welki... didn't send it right away, but still had ex[ected to hear from them by now. pretty disappointed

8:35 pm

he wouldn't eat he had to do the flagyl thing too

8:35 pm

humpf.. he's not a real restaurant manager if he doesn't respond doren

8:35 pm

scary

8:36 pm

he's better now welki

8:36 pm

I gave him a bath and groomed him, and made turkey and rice (homecooked) for him.. he's almost normal now

8:37 pm

i did the turkey, pumpkin and rice for my guys. didn't seem to help much, so i switched to the royal canin

8:38 pm

Metroniazole is a miracle drug

8:39 pm

I'm sure I'm misspelling that too

8:39 pm

sure is

8:44 pm

i have a friend who runs a rescue who agrees with you, that metro is a wonder drug

8:51 pm

yes.. straightens dylan out in a hurry

8:53 pm

neither of my dogs have ever been this ill. scared the bejeezus out of me. called the vet on sunday and he met me at the office. in all the years i've had dogs, it was the first time i called off hours

8:54 pm

wow.. yes it's terrible to see them uncomfortable

8:56 pm

evening all!

8:57 pm

i'm very lucky to have a good vet. years ago, i had a basset that was having problems. he brought him home with him so he could keep an eye on him

8:57 pm

hi, dan

8:57 pm

8:58 pm

8:58 pm

8:59 pm

9:00 pm

my life - a week devoted to dog business. told a co-worker that my house could have been nominated for dog fancy's 2013 Crapatorium of the Year award

9:00 pm

9:00 pm

9:44 pm

bleh

9:44 pm

bleh?

9:44 pm

yeah. . . i need a job. . .

9:45 pm

got approached to do a supreme court brief but i am not sure i agree with the argument. . . .

9:45 pm

hmmm

9:45 pm

i need a receptionist. move here? :D

9:46 pm

haha i would be a terrible receptionist jes. . . otherwise i so would do it. . .love the work you do

9:46 pm

why would you be terrible?

9:47 pm

i tend to be a little brusk sometimes. . . i am sure you are shocked to find out! haha

9:48 pm

hahaha. well, i NEVER.

9:49 pm

I am unfailingly patient and polite ;D

9:49 pm

besides i don't think my old cat would deal well with a 3,000 mile move

9:49 pm

you know, except when I'm filing charges for writing me a check on a closed account.... or telling someone they need to figure out who the owner of the dog is and who's paying instead of letting 3 different people authorize things and then arguing about who's going to pay me...

9:50 pm

both of which I got to do today

9:50 pm

tsk. . . clearly you have no patience!

9:50 pm

I would do it but we are still in the process of getting Frank switched to a different set of doctors (my insurance doesn't cover the local ones) so probably doesn't need another change quite yet. Also we have a 2-year lease here :-)

9:50 pm

lots to be said for getting cash up front. . .

9:51 pm

uu would make a great receptionist. . . she's actually polite

9:51 pm

also patient :-)

9:51 pm

did you ask them "what do you think we are doing here? running a charity?" ;-)

9:52 pm

yeah, well. She gave us a check, assured us that payment was not a problem, opted for like $250 in additional/non-required things along with the surgery... and then the check came back 'account closed' turns out it's at least the 3rd time she's done it, because there were 2 prior reports when I reported it. and who knows how many haven't reported it... grrr.

9:52 pm

Hmm. Well, maybe you could get a technician license quick-like, then? I need one of those too...

9:53 pm

dang . . .you should be talking to the DA on that. . . it is called uttering and is at that amount probably a felony. . .

9:53 pm

well i did always want to become a doctor. . .

9:55 pm

statements in writing from me, 2 receptionists, and my associate, along with copy of the bill and the returned check will be going to the chief of police tomorrow. :D

9:56 pm

glad to hear it. . . i hate how many people will let things like that go. . .

9:56 pm

I am PISSED at her. and I am totally willing to take time off of work to go hang out in court waiting for her to stand me up over it.

9:56 pm

make copies of everything and get the police to sign a receipt. . .

9:56 pm

not that i am distrustful of the police or anything. . .

9:57 pm

good for you, jes! People need to be made responsible for their actions.

9:57 pm

take a book when you go to court. . .it helps the time to pass. . . .or knitting. . .

9:57 pm

Already copied. and I'm not a great believer in the efficiency of bureacracy, but this is a small town and the chief is a client of my clinic, so I don't think he'll forget to pass it on to the prosecutor

9:57 pm

of course there is my fear of dogs to consider. . .

9:57 pm

oh, yeah, that'd be a great time to make Stid's scarf, wouldn't it?

9:58 pm

well things get misplaced even in small towns. . .

9:58 pm

hmm. Yeah, that might hamper your technician career.

9:58 pm

small towns can have advantages...

9:58 pm

not to mention my aversion to small towns. . .

9:58 pm

Frank says he would do it but still has a year and a half to go in office here...he does love animals!

9:59 pm

DC is as small of a town as i can handle. . .

9:59 pm

hah. i would mentally crack of overstimulation in DC, J

9:59 pm

i think frank and uu should do it. . . they could both split the job. . . .

9:59 pm

well, sue, when you and Frank are done with your lease, maybe I'll be hiring again? :D

9:59 pm

trust me jes i was not in the least overstimulated today in DC. . . .

10:00 pm

there you go :-) we can start around March of 2015 :-)

10:00 pm

i went to the garden, then the library to get them to show me how the online library thing works and then spent the day make tomato sauce for the freezer. . . .

10:00 pm

heh. I spent a night in DC once, slept on the floor of the airport...

10:01 pm

the highlight of the day was an hour conversation with a friend in town from Beijing. . .

10:01 pm

next time contact me and you can stay at my house instead. . . .

10:01 pm

Bruce says: "I saw a HUGE millipede or centipede today. Lifted up the rock it went under to see which it was... it was a snake."

hey, here's a weird question for anybody who wants to field it - how come, whenever I drink alcohol, the skin at the base of my ears/over the ramus of my jaw gets prickly/tingly feeling?

10:07 pm

is that normal, or am I a freak?

10:07 pm

hahahahahaha i have no clue. . . .

10:08 pm

maybe you are sensitive to the tannin. . . have you tried it with white wine?

10:08 pm

me either, not my area of expertise

10:08 pm

no, i don't like wine. but it happens with ciders and with hard liquor.

10:08 pm

something to ask ru. . . .

10:09 pm

and is transient - not the whole time I'm drinking, just for a few minutes about 1/2 way through 1 drink.

10:09 pm

10:13 pm

not fond of the carbonation, dislike pop, sparkling wines, for the same reasonm

10:13 pm

Could be the sugars in the wine you are reacting too

10:14 pm

ah well joso that would definately let out beer for you joso. . . .

10:14 pm

I can't drink beer either

10:14 pm

i told you ru would know!

10:14 pm

em 8-45

10:14 pm

but she said she doesn't drink wine. . .just cider and hard liquor. . .

10:14 pm

hi ru. the sugars are why i don't like wine, or why I get weird tingles?

10:15 pm

ah well then that would explain why i couldn't find it then joso ty

10:15 pm

could be the impression acid it trying to eat through my toung

10:15 pm

??

10:15 pm

You might try a lower alcohol wine

10:15 pm

oh the bubbles

10:16 pm

10:16 pm

Hi jm

10:16 pm

10:17 pm

you're welcome to bring me wine, ru, but don't take it personally when i don't like it ;)

10:17 pm

10:18 pm

stats for the last column O please

me i'm stickin' with the most evil beverage in the world, coca-cola lol

10:18 pm

Wrong wine..it mostly depends on what you are eating

10:18 pm

10:19 pm

hey, why am i being single out here lol

10:20 pm

10:20 pm

you must appreciate a challenge, ru :)

10:20 pm

Coca cola....

10:21 pm

just not with alcohol in it.

not getting the connection. does he do coca cola ads or something (yes, i have no cable)

10:21 pm

used to salt it. sometimes put vanilla in it.

10:21 pm

He wrote the coke jingle

10:22 pm

if you add amaretto to coke, it tastes just like dr. pepper...

10:22 pm

interesting jes. . .

who not just buy some dr pepper????!!!! ====8-O

10:22 pm

which one ru? I want to teach the world to sing?

10:22 pm

but you still haven't explained why alcohol gives me the tinglies, ru...

10:22 pm

because dr pepper won't get you tipsy, i guess, gwen

10:23 pm

dr pepper is not available in all parts of the country actually. . ..

which coke jingle? they have a new one ever few years

10:23 pm

Your metabolism most likely

alcohol makes you tipsy because it starves your brain of oxygen, or something like that

whereas the carbonated, caffeinated soda-pop just kills your kidneys lol

10:24 pm

and the alcohol kills your liver, so the liver and kidneys can all go down together when you spike your soda :)

10:24 pm

my heavens he wrote the "I'm stuck on bandaids" jingle!

ru must be looking up the barry-coke connection for all of us lazybones

10:25 pm

my metabolism? how so, ru?

10:26 pm

looks like he wrote the Pepsi jingle not the coke one. . .

10:27 pm

How your body metabolizes the sugars and carbohydrates

10:27 pm

but if it's sugars, why does it only happen with alcoholic drinks?

10:27 pm

you deserve a break today at mcdonalds is also barry

10:27 pm

and like a good neighbor state farm is there. ..

10:28 pm

don't know but seen it before

10:29 pm

so i'm not alone in this weirdness? heheh. guess i'm not a medical mystery

10:29 pm

I'd like the world tovsing. In prfect harmony

(i remember the "camp song" version of mcdonalds jingle: "you deserve a steak today, so throw up and crawl away, from mcdonalds) LOL

10:29 pm

the 1975 feelin' free jingle. . .

10:30 pm

alcohol is a double sugar molecule, connected end to end, the body breaks it down to sugar.

10:32 pm

nope the coke song of which you refer was written by an advertising exec. . . .http://tinyurl.com/7h8erv

10:32 pm

and now having educated the world about these important issues i think i am going to sleep. . . bye all. . . .131 left
