busy day coming up again -- time for bed -- goodnight all...*poof
nite,jills
cooee, well i made it through the day...just
hi rose!~
my ex's mother and brother turned up, and he had the gall to step right into my space...saying 'i'm sorry for your loss', yeah right, about as sorry as a toilet seat.
hi jbp
Hello Rose--hugs-glad its over for you
hugs to you, rose.
people suck.
hi rose, pug, jbp
there's bits of me all over the place. still feely a tad gragile.
Hello Joso
next hurdle next monday...
hi, joso
"gragile" seems like it should be a babblet. ;-)
hello, jbp, joso, pugs
uugghhh, typing gone to hell in a hand basket...lol
hi rose, some people turn up just when you least need to see them
hi joso
I know it's rough rose, but you seem to be weathering it and I'm glad of that
hey flosey
joso, with don by my side i can't fail
Joso, I think it snowed the day I left TO, have you had any since?
Rose, how is MIL and how did it go with Fang
only a smattering, quite a bit more up in crossy land
the funeral, burial and wake were all beautiful. my mother loved australian native plants, and there were 3 huge arrangements of them at the church.
you can tell when we get real snow from the squeels from buffalo
was there a good turnout
MIL improving, pugs. fang coped well. we found out what is wrong. she has been stuffing her face with aperients, and now she is constipated, with very fluid stools as well. we are changing her aperient.
joso, about 110 - 120. church was packed
i've had people coming up to me all day, thanking me for including them in the celebration of mother's life.
that is a high compliment, Rose. both to your mom and to you also
Your mom would have liked that, center of attention and a big send off
down side...i also have had several of our older cousins ( in their 80's/90's) and her elderly friends tell me how much i look like her. * sigh *
I bet you're worn out from it all, arnt ya?
lolol, joso...exactly. the compliments flowed both for the church service and the wake.
pugs, i am exhausted. my own DIL's watched me like hawks. made sure i had a chair/seat available at all stages.
let her have her last day as she would have liked. not may will comment on you looking like mom any more, you are own woman now
Iam glad DIL was there for you. How was your son on that
oh, and eldest son brought over the new woman and introduced us. she is the antipathy of betty. very quiet, and reserved. seems to be a very gentle person.
rose, I think you need a little time away from it all now
a bit of time away with Don
it's good you showed restrain, a poor time for cartwheels and a tutu, and bad for your leg
*giggle* my cousin rang me from hobart this am, he couldn't make it over. and after offering me his condolences, went on to comment that i am now the matriarch of the clan...gee thanx i said...
she will Flosey--monday in the hospital-lol
oh my, not exactly what I had in mind pugs - but good to get that done
oh, and amongst my mother's photos in her apartment, i found photos of myself, aged 8, wearing my first tutu...that means i studied ballet for 9 years.
mammy rose, godmother of the clan, make them all kiss your ring
mmmmm, tying fingers together...
LOL Joso.
hey ya diz
hi diz
your son's latest gal sounds nice, was that your snap impression?
stupid internet provider.. got bumped off for a bit :(
more condolence squirrels I guess, how are you doing pug
hi volly
hi joso
hi rose! How was your day today?
back to the grid for a bit, see you all later
sorry people, had close and re-open
I had red boxes earlier. How was your day, rose?
dee, church service, burial and wake all lovely. coped quite well, apart from the fact ex's mother and brother showed up.
I bet that was a bit tough.
joso, snap impression, i think she is going to be okay for him.
cool
morning all, good to hear, rose. Have been thinking of you.
good morning sprite
good morning Sprite--hugs--hope is all well with you
it was a tad, particularly when he walked up to me in the church, and spoke to me. i was so angry. if not for don's gentle restraining hand and words i may have given him one.
I so much want an a connected to an l, so many words I can't Finish
thanx sprite, dear. and how are you ?
hi pug, am good *hugs* And you?
I am good too
hey sprite
am good, rose, thanks hun. Keep telling about your day, please :)
hi joso *hugs* How are you today?
Sprite, Rose found pictures of her in her tutu and promises to post them
hey, i never said any such thing..lolol...but i will if you ask nicely.
oh that is marvellous. I was reading back... 9 years of ballet, right? I did 10. Another thing in common...
pretty please with a banana on top, rose
I thought you did yesterday Rose--sorry
*snuggles* we are so close others will have difficulty understanding it
awww, pugs....i probably did, sweetie. my head is/was all over the place.
*hugs rose*
i'm lucky i remember my own name....it's tattooed on my forehead...just a mo', will go and look in mirror
finally monkeyed ja6
my forehead has a tattoo too. It seems to say SJQA
thanx for the lovely ecards pugs and sprite
hi flosey :)
NP, Rose, but really would love seeing them if you wish to share with friends-lol
yrvw Rose
yvw rose *hugs*
now...SJQA????
SJQS it says
Shitty Jobs Quick Service
naughty sprite...roflol
:)
Hugs Peach, seen you on-hope you are well today
Not our Sprite! She wouldnt be naughty
never. See, puglet knows. I am such a good girl.
so... how are you feeling now, rose?
sprite, tired, and fragile. mood swinging ...not just my fists
but surprisingly okay with it all
*holds rose close for a bit* Sounds like a very normal reaction. Try and be very very nice to yourself :)
a full bottle of bourbon nice?? is that okay??
nah, that is short term nice. Will make you miserable in the morning. Half, max.
a hot bubble bath with candles and a bottle of wine sounds nice with a bit of relaxing music
ohhhh good ideas, all, pug
Oh, pug, you are so sweet. I'm just rolling along here. It is very cold here....my hands are cold....some hot tea would be the ticket, eh?
that sounds heavenly, pugs
hi peach *hugs*. Yes, hot tea and warm clothes. Layers!
that and maybe a pair of thin gloves-lol
poor peach...no heating, hun? or not reaching where you are?
those fingerless gloves are super.
Thanks, sprite, dear. Rose, I have the thing set on 72 and I'm still cold....going to turn it up.
taae
you know what, people? i think my mother would have liked her send-off very much. we really did not skimp on anything.
its in the teens here and Iam sitting in front of a open window with a fan=lol
that is a good thought, rose
Oh yes, I am working on the t's ....sorry. LOL
that makes you feel good Rose, dont it?
*giggles*
but Peach its not a word I can use :( lol
yes, pugs. i am sure she could not have faulted anything about today.
so... now you can tell her: see, all you needed to do to be the center of attention was keep still. ;)
Hello Grannyrose and many condolences on your loss. I've not been in here for a bit so missed your news. Hugs. C
LOL, pugs.
lol...sprite...i had everyone giggling at the thought of her at the pearly gates, telling st peter how to polish them.
hi scouser
lol rose :)
thanx scouser
Hello sprite.
Morning Scouser
and puglet good morning
Good morning, scouser.
feeling better now Peach?
Hello gapeach I think this is a difficult grid - too many silly little words
watching antiques roadshow on the tv...wonder if mother will show up?
lol rose :)
I'm beginning too, pugs.
You had better hope not!
I agree, scouser.
we burned her broom...lol
it is easier when you can move briskly for a few secs, isn't it peach. But that would be very difficult for you, I think.
as we laid her beside dad, i had the most terribly naughty thought...at least dad has had 11 years peace...
ritual broom burning? With her on it or not?
That's true, sprite. Going to make a cup of tea. brb
all perfectly normal, rose. Naughty thoughts are one way to release decades of tension and stress.
sitting on a heat pad would help Peach--you could stick your fingers under your hips in between words-lol
brb got a pug that needs to go potty
If we can have nitro and retro and and micro why cant we have nano? How do we get to update the dictionary?
I am with scouser
oh, thanx sprite. you are so amazing to validate what i am feeling.
*hugs rose*
omg, pugs, was almost breathless reading your post...was wondering just where peach was going to put her fingers...
lololol
back and I hope you got your breath back now Rose-lol
joso, am starting to see what you mean with that comment on the L. It is so in the wrong place.
19 to go and off to bed, goodnight everyone
night Flosey
sleep well, flosey, and good job!
night flosey, hope you sleep well, hun
Sprite is all okay? you are awful quiet
hi sweetie, yeah am ok, just tired. Don't worry :)
tired from Pole dancing?lol
Have hot tea and now must dewater the dogs.
we got wind and snow
and just as you were getting warm Peach
roflol! Well, monday was taxing and yesterday I have cooked dinner... shopping and all. Was at it most of the day, in steps.
argh peach.... more layers!
tired is good sometimes--makes you know you done something-huh?
I know poor Rose is wore out from the day--hope you rest well Rose
yeah, exactly. Today I must walk Terra, let them take blood from me, do dishes and laundry. Not doing much more.
very taxing day for our rose. Time to relax and let go :)
you hanging out the wash :D
hanging it indoors today, lol. Too wet outside to do much good.
thanx my lovely friends

wowow Jjenny, what a super job she did. Congratulations!
oh, jenny. please pass my congratulations to her. you, and she must be absolutely chuffed.

Strong person your daughter

And I have to head off, have a good day and happy babbling.
Sorry, peach, gave you the wrong clue.
the first se6 is all about holding hands and closing your eyes and summoning the dead.
bye Peach hugs
Thanks so much, Haz and Dachef.
Did you get it just now, pugs?
yes Peach--tyvm
Good.
ty too Haz
Maybe it is just me, but these smaller grids are harder than the larger ones.
seems to be here this week
got all the J's now
Oh, good, pugs.
Peach, you going anywhere for dinner tomorrow
No plans to go anywhere tomorrow. The stores are going to be open and everything will be crowded. I have plenty here or I can have a friend bring something over. How about you? Are you cooking?
Just for us here. Hope you dont have to be alone :(---seems to be a bad winterstorm brewing through several states. I hope everyone stays safe
How is your sister? Does she live with you? I feel so sorry about the diabetes.
I don't mind, pug, really. There are condos all around me and if I want, I can call friends to come over.
yes she does and after doctor visit we came away thinking that the new thyroid meds they put her on is causing all the problems( or thats what they say)
Hmmm. That is a thought. Are the doctors going to change the med?
Well I guess you are not really alone for He is with us all
back :) Multitasking sprite, took Terra to the blood nurse, walk done too and exercise as well.
they lower the insulant and the thyroid meds are already newish
You're good, girl.
welcome back Sprite
So, it is a wait and see thing for now, eh?
thanks :)
seems so Peach
makes me feel bad Sprite--here youve done all that and Ive just been sitting here-lol
hey, if I didn't have to go for the blood test I'd still be just sitting here too, lol
is our rose off to bed?
Her son has stopped by
ah, even better.
so she may be back--I dont know
We sound like "Keeping up Appearances", don't we? I really love that show, but I can't get pbs now....I guess I could get the DVD's though.
brilliant series
Oh I love that show too Peach--we dont get it any more either
I'm into Downton Abbey now. I have the DVD's for the first three seasons and it's fun to watch them again.
what is that one about?
Ive never heard of that one
There was another one that I liked...Dame Judi Dench....came on after Keeping up Appearances.....darn, I can't think of the name right now.
Which one, sprite? I've been blabbing on and on////LOL
Downton Abbey
fw
wtg joso!
It is filmed in England in Highclere Castle.....it is brilliantly written by Jullian Fellowes (sp). great actors and is about the Earl and Countess and their servants.....starts with the sinking of the Titanic and they are in the 1920's now.....the clothes are just so beautiful and the script is so good.
congrats Joso
Hey, congrats, joso!!!!!
is it comedy or not?
sounds good Peach, but havent seen it
Not reall a comedy, although there are some funny times, more about the daily lives of the people and the times.
sounds fun too
well I found 100 words so far just now
downton abbey, not a comedy, like upstairs/downstairs but a country house, larger cast, and better done
Pug, are you close to a library? If so, you might give them a call and see if they have the DVD's.
about ten miles away Peach
If they will loan them, it would be worth the drive, I think you will like it.
they wont let people in the country have a card unless you pay a good price for it
I'd take the car then
Darn!
and off peach went, straight to the pb, lol
I have a friend that might check it out for me though
bummer
That's just not fair!
good plan pug
good plan, pug
when I worked in the factory we could have a card just like the city people
if you have a friend in the city who doesn't do library, you could ask her to get a card for you.
I do and I will
stupid unfair rules
It upsets me too cause we pay taxes too
Well, my peeps, it is 5:00AM here, so I'd better be winding down for a while. Blessings.
don't you have some kind of fair treatment law overthere? I think it would be unlawful to make such a difference here.
bye peach, lovely to have seen you. *hugs* and have a good day.
blessings to you too Peach and have a good day
Oh, yes, pugs, you can contact your county commissioner and find out what the heck is going on there.
bye peach, rest well
Its been like that for as long as I can remember
best reason to change it, imo
at one time, when I was in grade school they use to have a book bus that came to the smaller towns but that is no more
too expensive nowadays, probably
probally true
Friends I need to get off to tend to Sister and wishing all a good day---hugs to all
bye pug, have a good day
have a blessed day, pug *hugs*
hellooo and cooee. back friends
heyyy rose :) How was the visit of your son?
sons, sprite, 2 of them and their wives, and baby braxton. was magnificent.
wow even better! So glad it was good.
how was brax?
we have sat out on the back deck, enjoying drinks, cool air and each other's company.
just perfect
i fed brax...was so wonderful, sprite.
just what you needed, rose :)
he is his own little person. nothing like deacon or claudia.
so true, sprite. the end to a difficult day.
little children are awesome that way. They will keep you grounded no matter what.
fireflies
it is now 9:30 pm almost...dinner looks good...lol. and WTG SPRITE!!!!

Second one

o-o Thanks. Will you be having Thanksgiving?
Yes, at a truck stop
Food should be good. We are having some American friends over tomorrow evening (it's a work day here).
I hope you have a most enjoyable time. The news from Hong Kong is interesting .... must be troublesome if people are leaving
More people are coming than leaving. Although many are leaving because of the air quality..
Must go and make some dinner.
Be well.

good morning everyone..someone please shoot crossy..my poor teeth..groan
Good morning, CRossy. Oh, no, your poor teeth. When will you be able to see the dentist?
saw him yesterday.
Hi Crossy. hugs - didn't the dentist help?
they cleaned the right side of my mouth,upper,and lower and the left side(where the problem tooth is) is det for dec 23rd
set
i wonder why they did not start with the problem side first??
So you are in pain BECAUSE of the dental procedure.
Just what you didn't need - another dentist visit to "look forward to".
Hi Liz
no,the side cleaned does not hurt,the problem tooh is agony however
Hi Scrabbs. Hope all's well with you.
may have to try a phone consult today
Do they know what the problem is? Massive infection?
Must work all day and be on call tonight. Parents will demand that I heal their sick kids today so that Thanksgiving plans can go on.
there is a tooh they suspect is cracked in half down the centre,a molar,but the plaque build up is to heavy to nail it down just yet
tooth
Happy Thanksgiving to you - in advance.
my own fault of course
poor scrabby:((
Ah! So need to clean before diagnosis! Lots of sympathy!
Even if it is your fault!
Dental problems suck. I had a longterm problem with one tooth for years and ended up having it removed and getting an implant last spring.
whole underside of jaw on left is swollen again,so i suspect infection as well
Ouch!
Parents go nuts before holidays and do not understand that germs do not look at a calendar or that illnesses need time to resolve.
first time around he gave me thirty 400 mg amocacillin
Poor Crossy. Ouch, ouch, ouch!
Did it help?
This has been going on for ages :(
wish i were there for you scrabby:(.i would keep you feed while the assembly line of ankle biters go through your office
it did,liz,so i am going to try and get him on phone today
There's no reason to suffer the pain if something can be done for you.
Anxious mothers fill our appt slots. So I see the kids and reassure the mamas.
se6= spooky communication with spirits
Good scrabbs. Reassuring the poor parents!
too many people surfing round the medical site looking up strange and interesting thing?
ty for se 6
That is our main job. Vaccines have made the bad illnesses disappear. We see healthy kids with self-limited illnesses.
Not seeing much tonight. Too tired. Will probably give up and come back tomorrow.
i have a classmate,my age,she has so many things going wrong with her daughter now,two doctors have now labelled her with munchausan by proxy (spelling may be off there)
Sleep well, Liz.
whoa
I have had two cases with that issue, Crossy. Very challenging.
Enjoy your days. Hope you feel better soon crossy and get those antibiotics.
ty,liz
Hi kje. Whoa for what?
cps, scrab?
munchausen.... bad enough when done to self, but doen to a child is scary as hell
i am going to see if my jaw warrants it,scrabby.thing is swollen up like an inner tube(the side they did not work on with the bad tooth)
oops nm.mixing up my conversations here
it is indeed,kje.this woman has her child allergin to about 200 things,i do not comment overmuch though because how do you say what is and what is not with a unending list of ailments
CPS screws everything up, especially MBPS. So, with my most recent case I phoned all of the involved docs, kept reassuring the parents, and just had to await the next move by the parents. They went all over the US with their kid. Just left my practice last week to try out another doc. Long story--I will email you the story.
no need
Crossy, did they dig around the gums, pull gums back?
my life is full of crazy too, scrab - lol
they dig and scraped the right side,upper and lower lots of plaque came off.i do not thing they had to pull the gums back however
True, kje. It is sad when a parent WANTS their kid to have a rare diagnosis and does not accept a healthy child.
Get some ice on there, Crossy.
must run, bbl
actually,as i say,the site they worked on is fine,but i have an ice pack on my throbbing left side as we speak
kje, we could share so many stories. We want to help people and so many do not want our help.
Tooth pain is brutal and unrelenting.
Scrabbler, why is what the parents are doing not reportable as abuse?
I must also leave and get ready for work.
you tc and have a good day,scrabby
o-o, the kids are not in imminent danger so CPS would not have grounds to remove kids from home.
The kids need to be in foster care, be fed a normal diet, and there would be the proof of no food "sensitivities."
Just an experience that will haunt them the rest of their lives.
The older kid for sure.
OK, I must go now. Enjoy the day, all.
i do not recall all these "sensitivities" in the 60,s some of the stuff we played in as kids almost warranted a haz-mat suit but we all seemed to grow up despite that
((crossy)) So sorry you're still hurting...why didn't the other side get worked on? I just took a break from work to see if you were here and must get back. I hope you feel better later. Remember the mantra...bacon and vodka, bacon and vodka....
((mimi)) vodka is on the list
i was in chair hour and a half.was enough for one sitting mimi,but yes,i wished they would of addressed the bad tooth
Sorry I have to run but trying to get some work done before I go to the cardiologist this morning. I'll be back later this afternoon, though. Big empathetic hug, crossy!
and our dental health care coverage is not as forward as our health care,so we wait for money to dribble in for each part of the procedue
((mimi)) have a good day
though if things totally go haywire,i am covered for a dental surgeon at the hospital. our health care has some nasty quirks as wekk,i am sad to say
well
on a side note,was granny rose able to have her ex-dil at moms funeral?. i hope so

o-o I sent your profile to a friend of mine. (yesterdays) She said she will never think to Thanksgiving in the same way again.
*of
Now that companies are having big sales on Thanksgiving ... celebrating the holiday likely will be curtailed.
i never went shopping on black friday- and i deffo wont be shopping on TG day- that is one holiday i refuse to let be ruined. we focus on family and friends - just sharing the day. i so hate that decorations for Christmas show up in the stores in sept. sigh.
Thanksgiving and the day after are for family...not shopping.
how can pitter not be a word??..pitter patter of rain drops???

Annie, going away for the holiday?
My sil's cousin makes a big do on T-Day but I am staying put this year. Bobby put on a poncho this morning so he would stay dry.
bichon, What are you plans for T-day?
Dorens, Are you going down Md. this year for the holiday?

i am.. hope the traffic isn't too bad… they usually all come here but jeremy is excited to host it this year
How nice!
you don't go to connecticut?
I am not going this year..I was there last week and am just too tired to hassle with the traffic. Liz said she would come and get us but I am not ready for that yet and hope I never am. My sil's cousin has this enormous house in Greenwich and she has called me twice but I just want to stay put.
as long as you are happy
I am happy.
and bobby of course
Bobby put on a poncho and went to work. We have a steady rain here with some wind.

the tag said cherry pitter, but I use it fo olives.

Well dawg, this is one year we don't have anyone driving over for thanksgiving, and one year that it looks like the weather will allow it...figures
yup, that's the draw of ma nature.
of course, nothing will compare to Christmas '96 (I think)
What happened that year, Jilly.... snowed in ?
2 feet overnight...no one went anywhere...actually one of the nicest memories as it was just our little family, the 4 of us
Thankfully, I was doing the turkey anywho
As long as you're warm and have food, you make your own memories!

oh, scrolled back, you're asking Scrabbler
No; I was asking Scrabs. I remember that holidays could either be really busy or pretty darn quiet.
cuz, I was gonna say, I dunno
We have a tiny community hospital in our town of 5000 people. There are about 20 beds and we rarely admit kids, maybe 6 yearly. We send most sick kids up north to Children's Hospital of Buffalo, about 35 miles north.
I was going to ask how your new job is going phanmd. :-)
Good news for you then Scrabs. (Except when one of those sick kids is really bad and needs stabilizing before transport)
Good evening Babblers
Hi wht
Hi wht

Aegean Sea da*a***les Sea of Marmara
The new job is going well. but some days are sadder than others. Yesterday was one of those. I cared for a man who is brain dead and waiting to pass on. I do hope for his family's sake he has already gone.
Yes, Nef, or if a laboring mother is too far along to be transported up north.
Where do you work, phandmd?
da*da***les
Berkley Medical Center in Martinsburg, WV on the oncology unit.
So you see tough stuff.
yes, but I am pretty new at the job, so haven't been exposed to that much yet. There was another man we were caring for (not my patient) that passed yesterday. The family took it real hard.
See, I could never work in oncology. That would be so hard I think.
It definitely takes a special person, and I guess I feel I am that so. Not easy but fulfilling.
Fireworks
I can imagine.
I admire you, phandmd
wtg Liz
I definitely admire those, who work with sick people :)
Yay, Liz
YAY, Lizlin!!!! WTG!!!
Not sure I am worthy of being admired, but thank you.
Hello to my fellow babblers!How is everybody doing today?
On that note, Happy Chanukah and Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate either or both.
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!
I still have so much to learn about being a nurse!
And have a good day to those who celebrate neither! BBL
Goodbye Lizlin! I will see you later & congrats on your FWs
Bye, liz
Hi Min
Howdy, Min.
Hi Min. (I'm a bit slow; I was reheating and serving DH seconds on the chicken soup)
phandmd; I hope you find your career to be as interesting and terrific as mine has been.
My husband made homemade chicken soup last week.Twas yummylicuous! I hope that you and DH are doing well Nef.
And where do you work, Nef?
So far so good. I keep having to slow him down because he doesn't listen to his body and I'm so worried about him relapsing
Nef, what is wrong with your husband?
phand, I'm "officially" retired now but still do volunteer work at my last workplace (a pro-life prenatal clinic)
That is a great place to work and volunteer.
He has MS, phand. Has been diagnosed for 26 years (I think) and on abeta inferno injection for 1`2 years
Oh, I am sorry. Is the injection helping? I haven't heard of it.
With 32 left I have done enough. See you all tomorrow.
g'night Scrabbler
g'nite
Good night Scabs. Stay warm
Goodbye Scrabbler! I'll see you tomorrow in the log maybe.
I started out working charge nurse nights in newborn nursery, went to county health nursing, then ICU (34 yrs, in CV-ICU, tried tele. triage and hated it, and ended up in prenatal care.
Goodnight Scrabs. Hope you sleep tonight!

I would never have left ICU but had an OTJ injury and 3 surgeries on my foot/ankle and couldn't stand much; so needed to find something new. I've loved every job I had except for the triage nursiing
sorry about the injury
thanks why (and Hi!)
Hi neff

2nd SC 5/14?
actually, that should have been CA 5/14
It looks like a latin word. The two consonants are the same with some vowels scattered about.
Probably the least helpful clue, ever.
no, it worked!
thanks so much
I am glad it worked for you. I couldn't see any obvious way to clue that one.
ca 6/21?
auto consumed
thanks, o-o
There are 4 ca6/21. What looks like a misspelled waterway, plural of a boat, Japanese martial art with a different first letter, to swerve out of control, and a group that corners a market. Oops that's five.
Thanks, Wht. C's completed.

*grumble* - was on a roll with my pie crust dough till I discovered I'm out of waxed paper! arrgh! oh, the humanity!
wonder if plastic wrap will do... much more difficult to deal with, I'll bet.
I would think Aluminum foil would be than plastic wrap
maybe! hmmm.... might try one each way so I'll know in case of future emergency. I use the waxed paper so infrequently I never think to buy any. once every five or ten years, lol
same here!
let me know how it turns out.
only for pie crust and for no-bake cookies.
oh, and chocolate-coated pretzels and such.
don't think I could do the crust without *something* to move it over to the pans with.
hi folks
howdy! just taking a break from pre- T-day prep
oh, is that why the wax paper? Use lots of flour then it wont stick to the table/counter
if you work for low wages wouldn't that be Mcdonald's?
I know that's how it's supposed to work, and supposedly one can roll the crust around the roller and move it over, but...
or a waitress job, ru
waitress is so 60's.. they're called servers now :D

First time trying this out ... got half the words - it's not easy (I'm French also) ...
well done manon!
hi all, and welcome manondes fleurs! (be warned, this game can be addictive) lol
I'm frustrated .... only got half of them!
Thanks Gwen!
Hello ManondesFleurs!How are you doing? Welcome to grid
it is a bit hard - there are plenty of obscure words
Hello Book Doctor Gwen!How are you?Welcome to the grid
Hello mab! How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid,
I am finished! I have fireworks! ca 6/24 was my final word.
hi min!
i never feel bad if i don't finish, gettting halfwy is pretty darn good
wtg min !!!!!!
ah. mine was a ca 6/21
I guess there are a lot of words I don't know since this is not my mother tongue .... but I'm trying to get to 100 at least!!
I'm a girl by the way (Manon is a girls name)
like manon lescaut
804 points so far ...
hey, i think i saw that movie they named after you, manon 8-)
Exactly Manon Lescault .... you know that one!
I think it was a pièce de théâtre in France
Not sure if that's how they spelled her last name though .
just got another one ... past the halfway mark (youhou)!
excellent, manon!
ah, i found the name of those movies, jean de florette and manon of the spring (so, combine them and you are manon of the flowers, yes?)
wonderful trilogy :-)
fireworks - tough grid
trilogy? oh, no, i only saw two of em!!
wtg ursh !!!!!
CONGRATS, URSH!
Congratulations ursh on your fireworks display! Way to go!
Manon des Sources .... would be Manon of the spring - ManondesFleurs is Manon of the flowers - you are right
springs for water spring
Hello Uneaixoise! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
i rented one, then i happened to hear there was one more after that, but now, to learn it was a trilogy, i'm feeling, what's the word, chagrinned?
I don't think I'll find any more ... 88 words - first try, not so bad .... I'm seeing double right now (lol)!
Many of the difficult words in English are very similar to some French words ... sometimes, that makes it easy for me.
english has stolen a lot of words from all over the planet, including a ton of old french words relating to heraldry (one of my hobbies)
I am surprised to see CACA in here though ....
Caca was #89 (lol)!
not a "dirty word" here 8-)
sorry, gwen -- brain fart -- was thinking about My Father's Glory
What does it mean in English?
oh, you mean, not a trligy? hooray
:-D
caca = poopoo (either nonsense or excrement)
that's the french word for it too! Usually, kids use it, not adults
Js are Jibberjabbered
i know one person who never says "caca" but always says "caca-poopoo" for emphasis
(was that a conversation killer or what?) lol
Found 3 more .... 92 words - not so bad! HOw often do you find them all?
who me? maybe twice a month or so
67 to go, and 36 minutes. not gonna finish
74 to go ...
nbt woot! (that's No Blank Tiles, or, I've found at least one word for each tile)
go gwen go!
hey "all" (though I only see two at the moment...)

That's fantastic! What a buzz! You must be very happy.
*stern mama look* please do everything the doctors say so you get better faster!

Nurses! Worst patients, I imagine ;)
