12:42 am

*ziti

12:42 am

ty

12:42 am

ziti is pasta

ziti is a tubular pasta

12:42 am

Sounds good, then.

12:42 am

oh, thanks Une

12:43 am

thanks Dee - like a long macaroni?

seared the sausage and chopped onions in olive oil with garlic... added tomato sauce with basil, oregano, sugar, worcestershire sauce; simmered that. Cooked pasta for about 9 minutes... layered ziti, sauce, and mozzarella cheese and baked it in oven til bubbly and hot all the way through.

Bigger tubes than macaroni, but similar... lets the sauce get inside the tube.

12:45 am

OK, so I also had to try toadier. Still didn't work!

12:45 am

oh, thanks Dee

*poofing with hugs*

1:22 am

bye Dee

1:22 am

*chokes on the poofing*

1:22 am

night, dee. sleep well, dear

1:24 am

pugs, so maybe she is stressing at having to go to docs, but not showing it, or overtly feeling it.

1:25 am

we go back wed. and I will ask him about it

1:26 am

over here we have a herbal remedy called ' relief rescue'? i'll have to look it up. i will email you a link, and the docs/pharmacist can check and see if any of the herbs will effect her current meds.

1:27 am

okay Rose, whenever you get time--thanks

1:27 am

oh, it's called ' rescue remedy' yay, grey matter still working.

1:28 am

pugs, can you google it? see if it's available over there.

1:28 am

sometimes competing with those voices is a real pain too---they want to direct her and not always to the good--if you've ever worked with this

1:30 am

i understand pugs...it is a very difficult thing to do, live with a schizophrenic

1:33 am

It was so scarey for me the first time I seen here interacting with unseen people.Iam so glad I went to classes to understand it while she was in the hospital years ago

1:33 am

her not here

1:40 am

pugs, it is also called ' five flower remedy '

1:41 am

okay--let me go check

1:43 am

the five flowers are rock rose, impatiens, clematis, star of bethlehem and cherry plum. the article says it mainly has a placebo effect. but my friend uses the alcohol-free version for her dog, and it definitely does help him.

1:44 am

Rose, yes its here--several sites on it

1:45 am

I will look into it more after babble

1:45 am

good, pugs. it might be worth looking into. check with you pharmacist if the essences will not react with her other meds.

1:46 am

okay I will do-----have you tried it Rose

1:46 am

and there is an alcohol-free version available.

1:51 am

32 left, will get them in the morning, goodnight all

1:51 am

what happen to everyone

1:52 am

night flosey, hope you sleep well

1:52 am

2:01 am

you wouldn't believe the stuff we found...

2:02 am

no diary, but every card, birthday, christmas, easter, all 5 of us have ever sent/given her.

2:02 am

it's allways hard to discover your mother has an extensive vibrator collection

2:03 am

they must of ment something to her Rose

2:04 am

found my father's " anderson fairy tales " book. it must be at least 80 years old.

2:04 am

thats nice for you to have and share with your grandkids

2:05 am

Rose, my Mum was like that till she moved to a village 10 yrs ago, she still had receipts from appliances her and dad bought when they married back in 1948

2:05 am

also my mother was a prolific oil painter. if you see any on-line auction room, please buy....LOLOL

2:05 am

Vibrator..collection?

2:06 am

oh, the old ones are so much better, the latter ones have more pictures, less story

2:06 am

2:06 am

roflol, trust you to pick that up, ruru

2:06 am

look, I woke ruru

2:07 am

2:08 am

Beats me joso...

2:10 am

Would make for an exciting estate sale however

2:10 am

*giggle* ruru...

2:11 am

are you keeping all of them Rose? Sounds like great paintings

2:11 am

used vibrators have limited market appeal ruru

2:11 am

hey, joso, i have which serves all...his name is don....lolol

2:12 am

I'm guessing it would create a buzz with the auctioneer

2:12 am

yes, dear pugs, these are the ones i chose from the many

2:12 am

ruru, either that or make you tremble at the knees...

2:13 am

Iam glad you at least found some happy memories then Rose

2:14 am

thanx, dear pugs, for pointing that out. you are so right.

2:14 am

was she any good rose, my gran painted, was terrible, we used to rename her works, child in the surf became e.t. goes to the beach, etc

2:14 am

Lol..

2:15 am

*giggle* joso....naughty man...some of them a really good...she went through phases. her pointilism phase is not one of my favourites.

2:16 am

the only good at oil painting is doing the wood deck and the front of myself in the process

2:18 am

not so bad, we never told her. nor did we tell her of her secret nick name, the orangutan

2:18 am

HAHAHA!, Good one, pugs.

2:20 am

its true Peach--not good at all with painting pictures not even the paint by numbers-lol

2:20 am

Hey, girl, if you can paint a deck....that is wonderful.

2:30 am

pugs, you need plastic or water-proof aprons....* giggle * like i'm a fine one to talk...i always end up with a wet tummy.

2:31 am

2:32 am

The hand towel was a great idea, I would not have thought of it.

2:33 am

2:43 am

I need to tend to one of my four legged children....he has allergies and is coughing up mucus....gave him 1/2 of Benedryl tablet with cheese and he will probably quiet down soon. Blessings.

2:44 am

2:52 am

2:54 am

When I was about 3 months old I had whooping cough and the belief in those days was the smoke and steam from the exhausts would help ease the coughing. She took me to the stacks from Con Edison on 14th St. in Manhattan everyday. I, thankfully, survived her administration.s

Be careful Hurshy

10:00 am

well the reports were way the heck the other end of campus from me

10:00 am

but we are all supposed to shelter in place

10:01 am

lock your door? hide in a closet? is there any shelter in the room you are in?

10:02 am

we have two doors and one is shut and locked and the other is locked and we can just shut it if we hear anything weird

10:02 am

our windows are small

10:03 am

so, not bad

10:03 am

nothing on CNN yet

10:03 am

stay safe, hurshy

10:03 am

well the first thing was unconfirmed, so we weren't even sure if there WAS a gunman. then they sent another alert which made us think maybe there really was.

10:04 am

Better to be safe and keep the doors locked.

10:04 am

do6?

10:04 am

now it is confirmed and closer to us. :(

10:04 am

those are the do's i don't have

10:05 am

Jeesh! Stay away from the windows too.

10:05 am

Do6: Do + derogatory term for mentally challenged person.

10:38 am

10:39 am

thx all

10:40 am

deme

10:40 am

sorry

10:41 am

Isn't it amazing, Aloy?

10:41 am

it really is!

10:42 am

I am so fascinated by child development, starting from birth. Adolescence is my least favorite however.

10:42 am

Clue for da6, please?

10:42 am

what you get up when angry

10:43 am

or, buy some Head and Shoulders for it

10:43 am

Aha. I already had da7. TY, o-o.

10:43 am

hi o-o

10:45 am

the 8 is an interesting word

10:46 am

just had fw and the last word was we6.33, what I usually call "strange" words on Babble.. now that is we6.33, lol

10:47 am

New to me, o-o. At*** is the trade name for an anxiolytic medication, so now that name makes sense to me. And remove ar from at8 and you have a word for a wobbly gait.

10:47 am

That word has followed me around

10:47 am

I have a we6/33.

10:48 am

Good for you, Aloy. I need 46 and see nothing.

10:48 am

if you take a cab you will have less to wobble about

10:49 am

hmm, let me see what word I could clue..

10:49 am

ao 6/27 is one

10:49 am

do you have the person who hosts a tv show, the em5.14 and the pt of it too?

10:50 am

Yes, I have those, Aloy. Not the ao6

10:50 am

yes, we haven't had that ao6 in a long time.. it ends with not mom

10:51 am

Aha, monkey found it on first try.

10:51 am

feed that monkey a banana

10:52 am

how about fr5.20? It ends with the initials of your profession

10:52 am

TY.

10:52 am

wooot crossy, multitasking! How's the neck holding up?

11:42 am

it is holding up.Had the MRI done yesterday and for me it was very,very uncomfortable.there was a series of 10-15 pictures each one being 2-6 minutes when you could not move an inch

11:43 am

ouch, that is quite a challenge. When will you get the results?

11:43 am

Dr will have results in 2 day

11:43 am

{{brave crossy}}

11:45 am

Necks are the worst Crossy.. right up there with knees and shoulders... Hope you get your results soon

11:45 am

my shoulders were right up tight againast the cylinder walls of the mri.Told the tech that she may have to grease me up.

11:45 am

there's a TV series called A Gifted Man and he's a neurologist and gets his MRI results AS the patient is rolled out of the machine! Just like real life, NOT!

11:45 am

worst is when your knees and shoulders are right up there with your neck though

11:46 am

lol ruby, true

11:46 am

it is nasty Dr 1965. i have had three herniated disks in there for a decade and now they are acting up

11:53 am

that question was referring to Dr Who

11:53 am

my life is sci fi

11:53 am

yes, Dr. Who is science fiction. He travels in a time machine that looks like an oldfashioned british telephone booth. It is called the ****is. The first 4 letters are also the first 4 of a word for being late.

business but it will be fun I am sure

11:58 am

and you'll eat very well, steve

11:58 am

at8 ...if you take 'ar' out of the 8... you get a wobbly walk problem

11:59 am

I hope you will have time for a nice lunch at the very least. Lots of fun places to go there.

11:59 am

lol that at8... just use a lot of As and stick some vowels in between

12:00 pm

use ALL the As, even

12:00 pm

ty ro

12:00 pm

vowels? Consonants, those things are called.

12:01 pm

at this point i have not a clue what that at 8 word is

12:01 pm

new word for me!

12:01 pm

me either Crossy

12:01 pm

I had to look in the scrabble dictionary

12:02 pm

start at the bottom A. And use all As. Means you have to end on the A right on top of the first one.

12:02 pm

I like the def of the at8: state of freedom from emotional disturbance and anxiety; tranquility.

12:03 pm

I found it in my scrabble dict. too

12:03 pm

of course it is. It is the state we are in after finally finding the word.

12:03 pm

ty,i have it now

12:03 pm

yay crossy

12:03 pm

new word for me as well

12:04 pm

12:11 pm

usually means nobody allowed behind these tapes

12:12 pm

12:13 pm

re6/21 after do again

hello ch, long time

1:33 pm

Hi temple owl! I've been around, just unusually quiet ;) How are you?

fine. ditto

1:39 pm

We celebrated an early Thanksgiving yesterday. We were invited to share a community Thanksgiving feast on a nearby Native American reservation. Nothing was mentioned about the origin of the U.S. custom, just a thanksgiving for our whole community, God, blessings, etc.

1:43 pm

Now I'm waiting for lab results from a biopsy done on Friday. Doc said 50-50, but if it is malignant, it's early enough that it should be easy peasy to fix. Still, waiting is hard.

1:44 pm

my best wishes to you,ch1212 for a good biopsy result

1:45 pm

Thanks, crossy.

1:45 pm

my melanoma was caught early on by a very good dr at Princess Margerette hospital in Toronto

1:46 pm

My parents and my only sibling all died young of rare forms of cancer, so I tend to think the worst, despite what the doc said. I adore the name of that hospital!

1:47 pm

The history of it is quite interesting and can be found in wikpedia

1:48 pm

every male of my family as far back as you care to go has died of cancer.my da has had cancer twice and i have had it three times.it is modern technology and medical advancements that have my da and i on this side of the dirt still;))

1:49 pm

I will take a look. I did enormous research into my parents' blood cancers, because I was primary caregiver, and was researching clinical trials. With my brother, it was a rare form of neuroendocrine cancer, which is already rare.

1:50 pm

Other than eating bacon as crisp as I can get it, I'm pretty good with healthy eating, staying out of sun, using sunscreen, etc. As of this birthday, I've outlived the average of grandparents, parents, brother by 3 years.

1:51 pm

How many years clean are you now, crossy?

1:52 pm

7 years clean from first cancer wh9ich was the catalyst for the other 2

1:52 pm

WOW. That's considered cured, isn't it?

1:54 pm

and as far as diet goes,ch1212,i am not so sure,i have many different diest,have been thin as a bean pole,my ideal weight and 40 pounds over.i have come to the conclusion that some have more active cancer genes than others and there is not thing one that a person can do about it

1:54 pm

it is indeed considered cured ch1212,but they hedge theri bets by saying i could have a 10% unrelated cancer chance for the rest of my life

1:55 pm

mmm... I actually like the sound of that, because I would latch onto any excuse to dive into a cheeseburger and fries! :)

1:55 pm

of course stay away from the smokes,and do not lay on the beach crisping your skin,but other than that i just live

1:56 pm

You're an inspiration. Great philosophy -- common sense.

1:56 pm

i will not micromanage myself to death food wise unless i A: become diabetic or b: the dr tells me

1:57 pm

you spend so much time sweating the small stuff that life just goes on by

1:57 pm

Agreed. Do you mind if I ask, how did they treat your melanoma? My biopsy is for a skin cancer too.

1:58 pm

me? i just live love and laugh.why should i waorry.the very next blood test result on some sunny morning could have me right back in the oncology department for 6 months

1:59 pm

they caught it early because it was a regular 3 month post cancer check up for my #2 cancer the lymphnoma

1:59 pm

so they were excised eary and that was that

1:59 pm

was a few "agrssive" moles on my belly that were destined to be cancer

1:59 pm

agressive

2:00 pm

what typetype of cancer they looking at for you ch1212?

2:00 pm

Excision -- my doctor mentioned that as the likely approach. Given that she went out of her way to hand me a skin cancer phamplet and tell me she thinks it's 50-50 that it's malignant, I guessing it will be. Skin cancer -- growth on my back.

2:01 pm

ahh nm.skin cancer

2:01 pm

well,if it is nice and eary it will be a cool breeze treatment wise.just like mine

2:02 pm

Thanks, crossy. Nice to hear from a voice of experience.

2:02 pm

15 minutes in day surgery with you resident surgeon,a stich or 3 for each one they remove and you are off to the races!:)

2:02 pm

and WEAR SUNSCREEN IN THE SUMMER!

2:03 pm

sp 3000 or whatever lol

2:03 pm

OKAY!!! (I already do, but I'll up it from spf 50 to 3000 :)

2:03 pm

the baby stuff is great

2:04 pm

so,if the dr thinks she caught it early,then it is good

2:05 pm

if this is your first cancer,ch1212 and you have any other questions at all just e-mail me if you wish.i have tons of detailed info to ease your mind and resolve any fears

2:05 pm

bbl

2:05 pm

Just wrapped up cataract surgeries last month, so I'm ready to tackle the next thing. Doc did tell me she thinks it's early stage (if it's malignant.) I called the lab this morning and was told it might be TWO WEEKS before results. Thanks, crossy. I need to skedattle too.

4:39 pm

as long as the request for a clue and the persons successful location of the word they requested the clue for occurs within the same clock minutes,it qualifies

4:46 pm

Hello babbleworld! hi crossy, bichon

4:48 pm

howdy,jilly!

5:03 pm

nbt/nbs...

5:08 pm

halfway *feeling accomplished*

5:14 pm

yaaa for jilly!

5:15 pm

good grief

hey hursh, all clear?

5:16 pm

all that and now they think the original call was a hoax, followed by people seeing first responders with guns, thus "confirming" that there was someone with a gun...

wow

hope they can trace that call

5:17 pm

it was from a phone booth

idiot

5:18 pm

they said the person sounded "confused"

5:18 pm

i think they wouldn't have taken it so seriously if it hadn't gotten "confirmed"...

5:19 pm

Wow hursh....scary

5:21 pm

i am glad everyone is safe,hurshy.though it is a pain that all that confusion anxiety and chaos was for nothing,think of the bright side in that it tested the responses of the first responders teams who deal with a real crisis of this sort.hones their skills

5:22 pm

it's stupid. if the NRA didn't force us to live in this kind of environment... perhaps we wouldn't have to waste so many resources.

5:22 pm

LOL...same sentiment here, but NRA means something totally different in light of gun violence!

5:23 pm

going to second amendment yourselves to death. my brother now live in NV and he says that there,getting a hand gun and a permit to carry concealed is about as hard as supersizing your fries at McDonalds

5:24 pm

Okay, need to determine whether you meant National Rifle Association or the irish army

5:25 pm

hint: i'm actually american

5:25 pm

well,thought we were talking about the states,not ireland.sorry if i misunderstood

5:25 pm

lol,thought so

gee crossy, i though welki refuted that claim last week? I think your brother is pulling your leg, and likes to spin you up.

5:25 pm

Got it! LOL...thanks for clarifying!

but i wish luck to all , i am finished with this sucker. on to dinner!

5:26 pm

i do not recall any conversation with welki regarding ease of handgun aquisition in certain states

5:26 pm

SEe you later TO and WooT WooT WooT

5:27 pm

how odd...

5:27 pm

okay, 2/3 of the way...must check email...brb (agrees on oddity)

5:28 pm

ok,good.thought it was just me lol

odd things happen here all the time. But it is on to real life.

5:29 pm

must touch base with welki,see if i am losing my mind,which is quite possible :)

5:29 pm

unless you wish to clarify, T.O

5:30 pm

not you Crossy!!!;00

5:30 pm

lol,blueheron.i will try not to go off the deep end for you:)

5:31 pm

no worries, I'm already there.

5:32 pm

my da always said to never worry about going crazy,because he says that when it really happens,you will not know

5:32 pm

love it!!!

5:32 pm

first dr5 pls

5:32 pm

hi all

5:32 pm

howdy peri:)

5:32 pm

5:34 pm

i have a dr 5/14 is to remove moisture from something

5:34 pm

nm

5:35 pm

lol,classic;)) lov you ,peri:)

5:35 pm

that is the 2nd one crossy, I just found the 1st

5:35 pm

since i have not listed,i do not know that,my apologies,peri

5:35 pm

crossy, are you anywhere near niagra falls?

5:35 pm

np crossy

5:36 pm

2 and ha half hour drive north of Niagra falls

5:37 pm

ok, I am thinking of doing some traveling starting in the spring. will stay on the east coast for now. would love to visit niagra falls since I have never been there.

5:37 pm

it is well worth a visit at least once in your life

5:37 pm

the east coast ,however,is a great choice

5:37 pm

it would be nice to drive cross country and visit babblers along the way but I would like a travelling partner for that

5:37 pm

I live on the east coast :)

5:38 pm

I want to visit Sanibel Island and the Florida Keys too

5:38 pm

then it is perfect.slide up into our east coast.our "newfies" are the salt of the earth:)

5:38 pm

Peri, when you're ready, let me know. I've been cross-country 12 times, many different routes, and know lots of great places to stop. And hi, all.

5:38 pm

((mimi))

5:38 pm

I will Mimi, thanks

5:38 pm

did you travel alone, Mimi?

5:39 pm

peri, you are welcome here in New Hampshire:) On the coast.

5:39 pm

aw thank you blueheron. I will let you know in the spring

5:39 pm

Just like Niagara, one trip that should be taken is the drive up the coast of California---breathtaking. Yes, many of those trips were alone (I LOVE driving alone cross-country) but others were with various people.

5:39 pm

((crossy))

5:40 pm

brb,must get dinner started.i shall have to ask my doppleganger,joso if we were chatting with welki on U.S gun laws in certain states. perhaps i had a snootfull of bacon vodka:))

5:40 pm

Aloy is in town now and we're doing lunch on Sunday but she doesn't have much time or I would take her to see the sights here in Arizona.

5:40 pm

I have been driven up the coast of California, it was awesome and the redwood forests were amazing

5:41 pm

Carmel is my favorite place on the planet and I love Big Sur and, of course, San Francisco. Would be living there if I could afford it.

5:42 pm

I have not been to carmel

5:42 pm

I don't thnk I was at Big Sur either

5:42 pm

I know people who live near San Franciso so that might be a possiblity.

5:42 pm

I would probably fly tho

5:43 pm

I told my kids when I die to scatter half my ashes over Ouray, Colorado and the other half over the 17-mile drive in Carmel...that way, if they want to "visit" Mom, they get a nice vacation!

5:43 pm

:)

5:43 pm

I lived in LA for 7 years, so I did a lot of traveling along the coast and also inland through Napa (where ruru is)...just gorgeous.

5:44 pm

Never been to Napa Valley. would like to go there too

5:44 pm

If you decide to fly to San Fran, let me know and maybe I can join you...it's only another hour or so to drive to Carmel...you would LOVE it. But don't go in the summer...fall and winter are best...not as many tourists.

5:45 pm

what about spring?

5:45 pm

well I will start with the east coast and then the west coast and then in between. I better get started since I am not getting any younger:)

5:46 pm

That would be OK if it was early. I'm planning to travel after March myself once my lawsuit settles and, hopefully, I have some extra money. Planning a visit to see crossy and his lovely wife...so I think a NE Babble meetup would be awesome.

5:46 pm

mimi,you are welcome any time

5:46 pm

let me know when that will happen and I will try to get there

5:46 pm

am I welcome too, crossy?

5:47 pm

as is peri

5:47 pm

I'm not getting any younger either, peri, but in many ways I'm also not getting any older...I just refuse!

5:47 pm

:)

5:47 pm

would not forget you,peri

5:47 pm

ok, crossy, just checking

5:48 pm

Gotta go feed the cats and perhaps myself as well, though, crossy, I have a worsening toothache.

5:48 pm

make you both a proper crossy,breffast

5:49 pm

I didn't know toothaches were contagious over the internet!

5:49 pm

shh...do not say teeth.my appt is for tomorrow

5:49 pm

I was just going to ask about your appt. crossy

5:50 pm

Thinking about just drinking dinner tonight....

5:50 pm

5:51 pm

5:51 pm

Good luck tomorrow, crossy. Peri and I will surround you with good karmic thoughts! Now...I must go. Hugs all around...and hi and bye, kje...we were just talking about San Fran and planning a trip for the spring!

5:51 pm

groan...i am not looking forward to this

good evening!

9:12 pm

how are you?

9:16 pm

Does anyone know how to contact Dr.god?

9:16 pm

Does anyone know how to contact Dr.god?

9:16 pm

sorry jilly -- grading papers and got caught up in it. hey there all! :-)

9:16 pm

Hi Stid!

9:18 pm

can I have a clue for the bottom A please?

9:18 pm

hi all. any clues for the 8?

9:20 pm

that was going to be my next request...

9:23 pm

I guess there is no one to give clues right now...

9:24 pm

I think the bottom A was clued at 8:40 by Torgone?

9:24 pm

and the 8 is the one clued by torgone for sure.

9:25 pm

how are you phand? do you like your job?

9:26 pm

thanks, that fit both clue requests!

9:27 pm

I do love my job, Stid. Today was a long day though and draining. Good, but still. One of my patients will not likely be there in the morning. So sad.

9:27 pm

how is your job going?

9:27 pm

Glad you are mostly enjoying it, so sorry that one of your patients isn't doing well.

9:28 pm

that's the nature of the job though. I just pray that my care made his passing easier for both him and his family. That is why I am doing this.

9:29 pm

I am loving it! I get my first observation tomorrow afternoon, and I am excited (only a little nervous) about it! My principals are so very supportive of me, and I had planned a sort of innovative lesson in the library before I knew about the observation, so I am ploughing ahead and hoping it will work out. Already warned my observer that it may or may not follow the lesson plan I submitted. So many things changed since our meeting last week and this afternoon when I set the kids up for the lesson! :-D

9:29 pm

I am sure it will go great, Stid. Glad to hear that it is going well.

9:30 pm

I send you my blessings, phand -- to be a witness to the miracle of life at the end, and to ease the passage from this phase to the next, is such a gift.

9:30 pm

Well, I have to get up at 4:30am for another day tomorrow. and the Football game isn't going well, so, not going to loose sleep over it.

9:31 pm

ugh. football. *rolls eyes* I agree -- not worth losing sleep over! LOL (I don't even have the TV on...)

9:31 pm

:) Have a great day tomorrow! Sweet dreams.

9:31 pm

I have a few more grades to enter into the online gradebook, and then a revamp of the lesson and printing out some materials (I have a student who won't be allowed to use the computers tomorrow)...

9:31 pm

you too! Be well.

9:34 pm

back to papers...

9:37 pm

Niters phand!

9:38 pm

Stiddy, sounds like all is going well...since you are in your papers, will just send positive vibes...you'll get them!!

9:41 pm

Well, pretty quiet in the chog...will be on a few more minutes if anyone needs clues...

9:51 pm

Well then, good night all!!

9:55 pm

hey jilly --- I am here... ish.

9:55 pm

sorry I missed you again. :-( JUST finished entering grades!

9:55 pm

sorry to have disappeared. need clues so will look back.
