i try not to turn the light on out of respect for don's need to sleep.

1:18 am

I know one way you can get him to sleep.

ruru, i employ that method frequently...but if HE has a head-ache....lolol

1:20 am

Put an ice bag on his head :D

1:21 am

he might object, and an ice bag would defeat the purpose...oh, you mean the one between his shoulders?

1:22 am

Hahaha!!!!

1:22 am

Yeah that one

1:22 am

g'day mel. not allowed to say my usual greeting...it's in the grid..;-(

I guess if it were the other one you'd call it an outback popsicle

1:25 am

Lol

1:26 am

roflol, ruru. mel, so understand what you are saying. i find it a triumph every time i complete a grid.

1:28 am

Hello everyone.

1:28 am

The pantom penis on the grid is prolly what got ruru going! Hello Lynxx

1:28 am

Hi Meliae, nice to see you - it's been years!

1:28 am

Hey there, lynxxx.

1:30 am

I have been back for a bit I think we just been missing each other :)

1:33 am

mel, it doesn't take much to get ruru going, hun.

1:34 am

Oh I know..

1:34 am

Brb :)

1:45 am

.phantom penis..is that a new Super hero I haven't heard of?

1:48 am

I think our bad humor has run them off granny

1:56 am

ah well, ruru. i am sure they will forgive us if we apologise nicely. i'm sorry mel, peach, lyn.

2:10 am

greetings friends! Iam real late this morning

2:13 am

{{hugs}} and xoxox pugs.

2:13 am

is everything okay, hun?

2:15 am

hugs back----Just fine Rose--another trying to sleep night and then I guess I did cause I just woke

2:15 am

how was your day

2:17 am

pugs, muscles not liking the exercise bike. need to take extra pain meds. :-( otherwise, i am okay.

2:17 am

Rose, we need to pray for Ivesy. She had a mri done and have been having mimi strokes and has to go see a special doctor next week

2:18 am

ahhh, i thought that was the problem, pugs. poor ivesy. will certainly put her on my prayer list. it helps to know what exactly to pray for.

2:19 am

pugs, how's your head? any pain?

2:20 am

Well my muscles wouldnt like it either and I havent had any ops either--lol----I would say thats normal Rose---and with yourfib along with the knee pain is bound to be there. But you are doing much better.

2:20 am

I do right now Rose, but soon as I take pills it will fade

2:21 am

hugs my darling pugs. my poor sweetheart.

2:22 am

thank you Rose

2:24 am

do you go to your doctor early in the morning

2:26 am

yes, dear. my GP. please pray that i can convince her just how much i need the pain meds. as i increase my activity levels, of course i am going to need more. even so, she should be pleased. i have used 40 less tablets than she thought i would need for the 4 weeks

2:29 am

Will do Rose but I know you need that right now but I hope you are careful to not get hooked on those,, its easy to do and not know it---I worry about that for you

2:29 am

oh, and pugs? i have posted a photo of claudia in her new tutu. she starts her ballet lessons on saturday. and she has been put up into the swimming class for 4-5 year olds.

2:30 am

Have you ever thought about going and trying (dont know the spelling) but where they stick needles all over for pain and things

2:31 am

darling pugs, i understand your concern. i don't seem to have a problem with pain-killer addiction. was able to stop them when i no longer needed them last time.

2:31 am

Ok, Rose..I bet you like that!

2:32 am

you mean, acupuncture? that is good for chronic pain. yes it works for that type of pain, at least for me.

2:33 am

I will be rb--going to look at the photo------------yes thats it---you have done it then

2:34 am

when i originally had the total knee replacement done in 2012, right on the 5 months mark, i woke up, and didn't need any strong pain meds.

2:36 am

Shes so cute Rose---bet it brought memories back -didnt it-----why cant you do that know then Rose

2:36 am

I meant now not know--sorry

2:38 am

i think acupuncture is only going to work for chronic pain. if i was to have it now, i would need workcover approval first. and i am planning on coming down within the next month or so, anyway. which is how long it will probably take for workcover to approve acupuncture.

2:40 am

don't forget, sweetheart. i am one very tough cookie. and i am definitely not going to let a drug take over MY life.

2:41 am

well arnt you having cronic pain? But you know best and more about the medical field then I---just looking out for your well being--I dont want anything to happen to you is all :)

2:42 am

xoxox you sweetie. at the moment i am going through acute pain, post-op.

2:44 am

I hope Sprite is better today...everyone is down and out right now it seems

2:44 am

once i start hydrotherapy, my pain levels will fall dramatically. i will probably only need the slow-release meds in the mornings when i have hydrotherapy. at least that is what happened last time. and this time, the pain is so much better.

2:45 am

Iam almost afraid to go to a doctor to know all my problems---lol

2:45 am

and when is that to be Rose

2:46 am

awww, sweetie. it is better to know, than to be in the dark. then you can face them full on, and deal with the issues as they happen.

2:47 am

I suppose so Rose

2:47 am

am waiting for workcover to approve my hydrotherapy. they have the letter from the surgeon saying he wants me to have it. and my physio has lodged her program for me. the wheels of workcover grind very slowly.

2:48 am

yes it seems so---looks like that would be better then the bike

2:48 am

personally, i can't wait. i know when i get into that pool, i am going to improve so rapidly.

2:49 am

oh, i will be continuing with the physio here at home, as well as the hydrotherapy, hun.

2:51 am

put you in a pool Rose! Then you can exercise in it. And put the bike in there too-lol

2:51 am

in told you, i am tough. and i am going to work hard. i really need to regain everything i had before i fell.

2:51 am

and of course put a top over the pool so dont cook under the sun

2:52 am

but just dont over do it Rose

2:53 am

*giggle* it's an indoor pool, at a local school for disabled children. i go first thing(7am) after the water has been filtered and cleansed overnight. and i go twice/week.

2:54 am

do many people there have pools in their yards Rose

2:57 am

as many as can afford it, pugs. we don't. i am hoping to install a japanese hot tub on our back deck. the heat will be soooo good for my fibromyalgia.

2:58 am

yes it would Rose--And I would do it soon too--dont wait for this or that just do it!

3:00 am

Don would benifit from it as well---and a bedside pot might be a good ideal to to put out there too. LOL

3:01 am

:-) my dearest. oh, dear, you are so naughty...anyway, dinner nearly ready. so i will say good-night to you.

3:02 am

xoxox, pugs

3:02 am

okay Rose, night and enjoy dinner and good luck tomorrow--hugs

3:02 am

oh, oh, forgot to say, please check your emails.

3:03 am

oh will do

3:07 am

Summer will be here soon enough. Spring in 42 days.

3:24 am

I do hope you are right OO--Iam tired of the snow and cold. Are you able to sit outdoors OO--like do you have a porch swing to enjoy the evenings

3:25 am

I am agoraphobic ... so what is available and what I do are not coincidental.

3:25 am

I am agoraphobic ... so what is available and what I do are not coincidental.

3:26 am

I dont know what that is, so will have to research that--OO

3:27 am

highlight the word; right click; click on the search option

3:30 am

was able to do it! I wish I could help you OO--I just read the short def of it but I will research it better later to understand better

3:33 am

Not to worry, please.

3:35 am

OO, friends worry about friends--and I cant help it but I wont let it criple me, thats the truth, but I do care

3:36 am

Mayo Clinic: http://tinyurl.com/put455a

3:38 am

3:39 am

agoraphobia

3:40 am

okay- education is good on things one dont know about so they can understand better--thank you

3:43 am

did this happen to you OO from serving in the service

3:44 am

No. Vietnam did not do me much good but is not the source of who I am.

3:46 am

does any of your other family members have this too

3:47 am

I am the resident nutter in the family.

3:47 am

can you say what part of the service you were in? Army, air force ???

3:48 am

Army

3:48 am

Long, long ago.

3:49 am

well thank you OO for serving for us

3:49 am

do you have any army buddies you keep in contact with

3:50 am

No.

3:51 am

I was pretty young when that war went on but I remember a fellow or two that lost their lives in our small town

4:02 am

good morning all

4:03 am

Hello My Friend! hugs and so hope you are feeling better

4:03 am

hi o-o and puglet, so glad to see you both

4:03 am

I have a lot of memories associated with Vietnam, both before and after. Those who sent us there and prolonged our presence are not my favorite people.

4:03 am

Hello, sprite

4:04 am

hi pug, yeah, a little bit better, thanks my dear friend. And you?

4:04 am

I would think so, OO--no war is good for any one

4:04 am

I cannot imagine how awful it must have been there, o-o.

4:05 am

Iam good now--had a headache earlier

4:05 am

*hugs pugs* Glad it has subsided.

4:06 am

My uncle served there too OO and he had nightmares for years--would hide under a table when a plane went overhead...I dont remember this but grandma told me stories about it

4:06 am

You still hurting Sprite

4:06 am

yeah... body isn't cooperating.

4:07 am

you need a tub! somethiing to get down into and soak in good hot water

4:07 am

lol don't make me drool.

4:08 am

Will hubby let you have a corner in his new shed for you to put one in--lol

4:09 am

hehehe he just might... for the view, he'd say ;)

4:09 am

or maybe a hottub out on your deck

4:09 am

well thats okay for his eyes only! At least you could enjoy the tub

4:10 am

what also worries me, o-o, about that whole war, is that there is no care at all for those who were made to fight it. You are totally on your own, with all the traumas.

4:12 am

Sprite, Ivesy needs our prayers..she had a mri and have been having mini strokes and has to see a special doctor next week

4:13 am

oh dear, poor ivesy! Thanks for telling me, pug. Will pray for her.

4:14 am

did your daughter get her glasses yet Sprite

4:16 am

not yet, pug, end this week if all goes as planned

4:17 am

did I chase o-o away? I hope not :(

4:18 am

I dont think so--I dont think hes feeling too well either though

4:20 am

I havent even looked out yet this morning--afraid to-lol--the old winter wind howled all night

4:20 am

am glad you are safely indoors with all the shopping done, pug

4:21 am

yeah me too---its suppose to stop sometime today

4:22 am

that would be good :)

4:23 am

OO, said spring in 42 more days and I hope hes right

4:23 am

Cacodemons. I am wrestling with them.

4:24 am

so what are your plans for today?

4:24 am

he is, no doubt. He could even tell you how many days till Christmas :)

4:25 am

poor OO--well you just fight em and beat em

4:25 am

*hugs o-o* If only the evil spirits listened to reason.

4:26 am

now that OO showed me how to highlight I can look up words

4:26 am

today I will wash dishes, do laundry, and if I can manage I will go out and pick up my medication from the pharmacy and a referral from my doctor.

4:26 am

wtg pug!

4:27 am

is the weather there nice for a outing Sprite

4:28 am

right now it is, pug. It is rather cold, freezing, and the sun is out. Healthy winter weather.

4:28 am

I must go. Be well.

4:28 am

the fresh air will be nice for you

4:29 am

you too, o-o. Be blessed.

4:29 am

bye OO take care yourself and hugs

4:29 am

yes and the sun too

4:30 am

4:30 am

hi all -- I'm back -- up late and tired and stuck. Just need the lower L in the right column for a mere nbt, and an 8 for nbs.

4:30 am

don't know, to be honest. Just am so doggone tired. Maybe just the leftovers of the flu.

4:31 am

hi jilli!

4:31 am

Hi Jilli---Iam not that far yet

4:31 am

lower L is unfasten

4:31 am

I tried that, sprite, and it came from the upper L!

4:32 am

lol ok, let me see, which one then...

4:33 am

hm, maybe the nutter combo then

4:33 am

what about lo4 and found?

4:34 am

hm... no, that one is from the upper too. I really think the crazy person and plural.

4:34 am

ah, just got it -- the bird(s)

4:34 am

I got it grayed out but dont know which l words they are

4:34 am

bird? Is that the same as the crazy one?

4:35 am

it is here Sprite

4:35 am

yes, same.

4:36 am

can't help you with the 8 yet, jilli, sorry

4:36 am

crazy person = bird -- our dollar coin is named after it. We call it the lo4ie :-)

4:36 am

its a co8

4:37 am

awesome, jilli! We used to have a bird as a 100 guilder bill and we called it after the bird too!

4:37 am

I see it's a co8 between two chilly words

4:37 am

what was your bird, sprite?

4:38 am

then it is easy... state of being chilly

4:38 am

the 'snip', jilli. Must look up the translation, hold on

4:38 am

something the summer evening breeze brings co8

4:38 am

snipe or dowitcher

4:39 am

got it before you clued it, sprite! NBT/NBS and that will have to be enough for tonight -- it's 2:38 pm here.

4:39 am

jilli: http://tinyurl.com/nwk89mq

4:39 am

wtg jilli, and sleep well! Deep deep dark night there!

4:40 am

oh wait, no, pm. That is afternoon.

4:41 am

bye jilli

4:42 am

when I am done with the grid, I am going to get some stuff done first, and only then start playing another computer game. Sometimes it is so hard to find the energy to get MOVING!

4:43 am

hey, it is an aussie grid today!

4:43 am

I so know what you mean Sprite---I have the same trouble

4:44 am

Joso and OO are both in the grid today

4:44 am

*hugs pugs* It is so good to be able to share stuff like this, isn't it. We will help eachother to get cracking :)

4:44 am

Rose goes to her other doctor tomorrow

4:45 am

so they are! A lot of our friends in here. The aussie greeting for rose and Liz and Lyn, joso and o-o, and the lo4 for me ;)

4:45 am

It is Sprite--days like that I feel so usless and lazy

4:45 am

I know. I predict she will come home dead beat. It is so tiring, especially the first few sessions. But it will be good for her in the long run.

4:45 am

I havent see Liz on today but I got on ver late today

4:46 am

here's our dollar coin (you have to click on a link after this:http://tinyurl.com/k2hdaqk

4:46 am

yes, but she got to let go

4:46 am

oh I know! I felt horrible yesterday for not doing anything at all except bringing the key to my daughter. But it was all the energy I had.

4:46 am

oh jilli, so pretty!

4:47 am

so is your snipe, sprite! And now I must say goodnight and...*poof

4:48 am

hehehe, that was jilli pulling a jilli on us. Night jilli!

4:50 am

btw, pug, do you want to know how to see which word comes from which tile?

4:50 am

yes

4:52 am

if you read the tiles like the words in a book, so from left to right and then from top to bottom, a word always comes from the first letter it can be made from. So in this case, the stuff a thief has stolen can be made from both Ls. But because of the rule, the word only counts from the top L, since that is the first L you encounter.

4:52 am

*popping back in before i try to sleep* pugs, did you tell spritey about claudia's photo?

4:53 am

hi my darling rose, good to see you. *hugs* and I will be thinking of you tomorrow.

4:53 am

no Rose

4:53 am

xoxox spritey. how are you tonight?

4:53 am

thank you Sprite

4:54 am

a little bit better, rose. Just still too tired. But that too shall pass, right? How are you?

4:54 am

yvw pug :)

4:54 am

oh, spritey. claudia's photo in her first tutu is in my profile. apparently she has inherited her granny's love of 'the dance'

4:55 am

sprite, have maintained 2 1/2 minutes on the bike. muscles are quite achy.

4:55 am

omg that is a priceless picture, rose. That smile. She is soooooo proud of her outfit! I am melting on the spot.

4:56 am

you are a hero, rose. You really are. Wtg on reaching the 2,5 minute. And even better that you are not rushing it. *hugs* Sorry about the pain.

4:56 am

I can picture Rose as the little girl in that picture

4:57 am

aww, spritey. lots of gentle hugs, my darling. i wish i could be with you. the same as i wish i could be there for pugs. you both are so special to me.

4:57 am

and you both are to me too--more then words can say

4:58 am

it is mutual, rose. I hope that one day we will be able to meet with the three of us and have a couple of days together!

4:58 am

*giggle* minus the blonde curls, they are from her daddy. i had brown curls.

5:03 am

how are you feeling about tomorrow, rose? Looking forward to it, or just the opposite? Nervous?

5:03 am

reset

5:03 am

yep, hiccup time

5:04 am

Now Rose dont play superwoman tomorrow--let it all go or rather come out

5:04 am

yeah, nervous. my GP is quite strong in her opinions. i am hoping to persuade her that my pain meds. are necessary to maintain my mobility.

5:04 am

Sprite, you still have you exercise bike

5:05 am

not just your mobility, darling, also your sanity and your zest for life. Very very important.

5:05 am

I do, pug. Just used it again yesterday, first time since I got that darn flu.

5:05 am

pugs, if i need to weep, i will weep. but GP is pretty reasonable.

5:05 am

good morning everyone:)

5:06 am

hiya crossy *hug*

5:06 am

5:06 am

Morning Mr Crossy

5:06 am

5:06 am

5:07 am

well good for you Sprite!

5:07 am

thanks darling pug :)

5:07 am

Rose is going to stay up all night with us! :)

5:08 am

did i tell you all how don is being so marvellous, taking care of me? i could kiss him to pieces, really i could.

5:08 am

will think of you, rose, tomorrow. Just be as open as you can be and don't try to be strong.

5:08 am

so happy to hear that Rose--that makes you feel better too

5:08 am

aw good for Don! He loves you so much, rose. And he is a sweetie too.

5:09 am

sprite, i am going to let it all 'hang out'. *giggle*

5:09 am

tell him/ her that if they do not reassess your meds into something that works for you, that ole crossy will send you a bale of mary-jane for your aches and pains

5:09 am

valentine day is coming soon--you can plan something special for him

5:10 am

roflol crossy!

5:10 am

good for you, rose! :) Yeah, that is it. Let her see how it really is.

5:10 am

ooh, crossy...haven't had the ol' mary jane in sooo long.

5:10 am

is that helping your neck and back Crossy?

5:10 am

no,sadly I am lacking in that special herb at this time

5:11 am

how is school going, crossy, and how is the neck?

5:11 am

in april, my darling turns 60. am planning a special day for him.

5:11 am

I can not smoke that stuff--makes me vomit everytime Ive tried it and that has been years ago

5:12 am

oh wow, rose, how lovely!

5:12 am

awww, crossy. that is not good, mate.

5:12 am

nice Rose!

5:13 am

i really have to get my act together. first step is to find out what his idea of a special meal is. * sigh *

5:13 am

tried it only once, didn't feel a thing, never felt like trying it again.

5:14 am

do you have valentine day there Rose

5:14 am

any meal served on your naked body will do, rose

5:14 am

Ive never been into drugs or drinks my drug has been cigs

5:14 am

lol Sprite

5:14 am

naughty sprite...but i am afraid you are very close to the truth...lololol

5:15 am

like strawberries and chocolate and whip cream?

5:16 am

pugs, the general population celebrates st. valentine's day. don and i, both feel, that every day is a celebration of our love.

5:16 am

he will love that for sure

5:17 am

even we celebrate valentine's day here. But, as rose said, Rob and I don't need a special day to celebrate our love. We do that very often.

5:18 am

sweetheart, he is so demonstrative of his love now. i am not sure i can keep up with HIM.

5:18 am

you guys are soooo lucky! And Crossy too

5:18 am

we really are, pug. And so very grateful for it.

5:18 am

you just wait until you heal then he wont keep up with you!

5:19 am

awwww, i'm sorry, pugs. here i am gloating over my husband and his love...and you....{{hugs}} dearest

5:19 am

just be yourself, rose, and don't try to keep up. You show him plenty of love as it is.

5:19 am

its okay--Iam very happy for you guys, I trully am

5:19 am

pugs, did you see your emails?

5:20 am

no not yet Rose

5:21 am

okay, pugs. please make sure you see them before you log out. xoxox

5:21 am

I will Rose for sure

5:21 am

ohhhhh one of my favorite words of all time is in today. so6. Having an ample bosom. Or being hearty and healthy, but I so love the first meaning.

5:22 am

sorry, I drifted away there for a second. school is going we and I am done with math and back into more English classes. the neck has been quieter of late though I an very careful with it. still waiting for an apt time with specialist in the city

5:22 am

sprite? your turn to receive an email tomorrow...

5:23 am

lovely, rose. I will write to you too, I need your advice on something. Hm, now that I think of it, maybe crossy's advice too.

5:23 am

I hope you can get it fixed soon Crossy

5:23 am

as do I,puglet.

5:23 am

oh and if you are dead beat tomorrow after your apt, just relax and don't email, lol. It will be fine on your time!

5:24 am

poor crossy. email me, and let me know what is happening, mate.

5:24 am

but the cure carries as much risk as letting it be till I am crawling on all fours. that is why I need to see this person. to decide

5:24 am

did you make all A's Crossy in your math

5:24 am

glad school is going well, crossy. I hope the apt with the specialist will be soon.

5:24 am

do not know as to a letter grade I got a 91%

5:24 am

:)))))

5:25 am

woweeeee! Awesome, crossy!

5:25 am

5:28 am

:((

5:31 am

5:32 am

not yet.. i see a spec. next weds...sure that will be part of the treatment..dont know how i feel about it

5:33 am

you take care and be aggressive in your treatments then, ivesy. nothing to mess around with and be letting the doctors dawdle

5:33 am

ivesy, my darling, relax, and know you are in the best of hands.

5:33 am

5:33 am

my brother in law died of stroke last sept and I would much rather have you around to keep me out of trouble in this chog

5:34 am

ty crossy....ty

5:34 am

oh yeah, ivesy, it sure is. Don't let it mess with your head too much! Lots of nonsense there and also lots of nightmare stories, while the more normal ones that should be the majority are not so popular.

5:35 am

this dr. is supposed to be very good..a neurologist(sp)

5:35 am

yes, sometimes the net can be an information overload

5:35 am

thats good news Rose and Iam on your case cause I love you and want you around for years and years

5:35 am

spelling is correct :) And yay for a good doctor.

5:35 am

5:36 am

5:37 am

Hi Ivesy--have asked for prayers for you. hope you dont mind

5:38 am

hi pugs.. of course not! will take all i can get my friend..

5:39 am

oh and pugs... i have e cigs. now..sigh... no choice

5:39 am

good--I didnt want you to think I was gossiping about you and I trully hope all goes well for you

5:40 am

no... never thought that.... no worries

5:40 am

I know that is soooo hard Ivesy---Ive yet to do it myself

5:40 am

not really too bad... guess we do what we have to do...

5:40 am

please let me know how it goes for you and the e-cig

5:41 am

You will get a taste of what its like for other addicts sad to say but cigs are a drug

5:42 am

Ivesy- on daily strength they have a stop smoking support group if you think that will help plus it might help someone else too

5:43 am

Joso has stopped for a month now! Hes doing so good

5:43 am

i am looking into the e cigs without nicotine. guess if i am going to do it , do it right lol

5:44 am

I would too---I have one(a disposable one) but Ive just not broke it out yet---bad on me

5:44 am

pugs did u get a lot of snow?

5:45 am

I havent even looked out Ivesy---Iam afraid to--lol let me go see

5:47 am

got about 5 inches it looks like but we got some sleet and a little ice too but its still snowing and will until later today. Then a couple more storms coming in later on

5:47 am

ivesy, make sue no one else in the house is smoking and remove all ashtrays and lighters from the house. I quit in 2002 and it was tough, I will not lie. set yourself up a reward system. take the money you would of used on smokes every day and put it in a jar for a year

5:47 am

so far we have bout an inch alerts are still on ..

5:47 am

and the wind howled all night so theres more then likely drifts that I cant see

5:48 am

i like the idea of saving money... i know it will be tough, but now i dont have a choice.. i am looking into e cigs with absolutely no nicotine...

5:49 am

Crossy I quit for about 2 weeks five years ago---And I still wanted a smoke then--how long did it take for the craving to leave

5:49 am

yes, but think of e-smokes as a temporary measure only and something that you should totally dispose of after 6 months or so

5:49 am

I wish you all the luck in the world Ivesy

5:50 am

did you use the e-cigs Crossy

5:50 am

puglet, the body cravings were done in 6 weeks, the mind cravings(most of them) were done in 6 months. sadly, even after 12 years I still get the odd craving I have to power through

5:51 am

thats what my brother in law did..he quit using the e cigs.. and he was a very heavy smoker.. i will do it....

5:51 am

sprite?? got her FW's? WTG SPRITE!!! ivesy, my prayers for you as you battle this addiction. i know how hard it is. i was fortunate and had the ' champix' available. this drug was amazing. yes i was nauseated, but i kept reminding myself of the end result. so much worth it.

5:52 am

how long has it been for you Rose

5:52 am

ivesy, when the mrs and I quit, in 2002, smokes were $7.50 a pack, so each day we both put the price of a pack of smokes into a jar. we did not touch that jar for 2 years. In may of 2004, I sat down and added it all up...

5:53 am

nowadays, i have no feelings either way. smoking cigs near me does not stir a craving,nor does it stir a disgust. it is just a nothing.

5:53 am

it came to $12,160.00 and I bought our brand new Toyota echo in may of 2004 with it...cash

5:53 am

pugs, august 2011.

5:54 am

does your Don smoke Rose

5:54 am

wow Crossy

5:54 am

no, pugs. with his asthma, it is not a good idea. so that helps also.

5:55 am

do you still crave one now and then Rose

5:56 am

i still average one craving a month

5:56 am

wow!! crossy, what an achievement!! pugs, i have no cravings whatsoever.

5:56 am

now thats an incentive crossy!! rite now prob spend about 35 a month... we get them cheap at the res.. but if i run out they are $11 a pack..

5:56 am

and what do you do for that Crossy

5:56 am

so, put 11 dollars away every other day for a year and plan what you will buy for yourself

5:57 am

puglet, i brush my teeth or go for a nice hike

5:57 am

mine cost 14.00 a carton and I smoke about 6 cartons a month

5:57 am

wow! that is a lot

5:57 am

bit more than a pack a day

5:58 am

thats my coping drug--lol but its not really funny I know

5:58 am

that is the problem in the states. smokes are too cheap. they are 12 dollars a pack here now. a good incentive to quit

5:58 am

we get them by the bag and the res pug.. not brand name but there is a little more than a carton in it..cost $15.. a carton on brand name goes for about $90

5:59 am

I cant afford cigs but smoke filtered cigars

5:59 am

funny,well not really... but when im stressed i smoke.. and now im really stressed and smoking will kill me....so i cant..

5:59 am

you know, pugs? with the level of stress from your hubby and sis...that is not at all surprising. when you are ready, hun. you will find the strength.

6:00 am

and now coffee time...thank god for my keurig...

6:01 am

It took along time to get to quit those two weeks I just havent found the strength to set a nother quit time

6:01 am

*giggle* ivesy...enjoy, hun

6:01 am

bye Ivesy

6:02 am

pugs, be patient, sweetheart. all in God's own time.

6:02 am

one thing i Do know is that no one can pressure you. you have to be ready to quit

6:02 am

Hi all :)

6:02 am

6:02 am

6:07 am

6:08 am

and dead people do not care how fat they are;))

6:08 am

well so will fat Crossy

6:09 am

lol, do not try and justify smoking now :))

6:09 am

and how do you know that Crossy--lol

6:10 am

remember what they say; "smoking is just a socially acceptable for of suicide"

6:10 am

well weight cigs and bacon---both can be killers and both bad for the heart

6:10 am

and i am on bacon restrictions as we speak

6:11 am

:((

6:11 am

okay, as it has been pointed out, i am on so much later than usual. as a matter of fact it is after 11pm.

6:11 am

That must be difficult for you Crossy :(

6:11 am

poor Crossy!

6:11 am

i am allowed 4!!!! slices a week

6:11 am

awww, crossy....no bacon...that has to be the pits, mate.

6:11 am

the horror!

6:11 am

omg, thats just a sniff

6:12 am

Rose I love you being with us

6:12 am

yaa for granny rose!

6:12 am

lol@ "just a sniff"

6:12 am

hey!!! 4 rashers!! much more than i am allowed. i'm allowed none..

6:12 am

Crossy do you have a old time like butcher near you

6:13 am

but your favorite is chicken Rose

6:13 am

You could all have my share!

6:13 am

actually, i get much of my meat from a local farm. less chemicals that way

6:13 am

they see what they raise

6:13 am

sell

6:14 am

* grabs liz's share* yum, yum, yummy, yum.

6:14 am

we lost our butcher a few years ago and I cant find good hot cracklins any where

6:14 am

poor granny:((

6:14 am

you mean food on hoof, crossy

6:15 am

no hot cracklings??? that is a disaster!!

6:15 am

i remember when you used to be able to buy the bacon trimmings from the butcher by the box. was just as tasty yet half the price

6:15 am

oh so good though Rose

6:15 am

pugs, chicken favourite by default, dear.

6:15 am

that stuff they sale in the stores here is awful

6:16 am

beef is so high here its hard to buy

6:16 am

and you heard that the store brands of chicken are often "plumped" with saline injections that can add up to one pound of saline for every 4 pounds of chicken??

6:17 am

that is why i do not buy at store

6:17 am

we dont have much choice--now our chickens we take to amish to butcher for us

6:17 am

okay, after 11pm here, and don is on the bed behind me...need i say more?

6:18 am

sounds like your party is over--lol

6:18 am

Sleep well Rose - hope all goes well with the doc tomorrow. Hugs :)

6:19 am

6:20 am

6:20 am

Definitely cattle but fewer pigs (according to my hubby - I didn't know)

6:21 am

6:21 am

Hi IB

6:22 am

So glad it worked lbd :)

6:22 am

brb

6:23 am

it did and it really was an easy fix, just didn't think to look under "keyboard". only draw back, can't blame it on my typing! lol

6:23 am

lol! Autocorrect irritates me at times but I leave it on because at other times i find it useful!

6:24 am

reading back in chat...what are cracklins?

6:25 am

Crispy pork skin (not that I know that, as a good Jewish girl! lolo!)

6:25 am

lol - that should've been

6:26 am

okay, had to take care of my dogs

6:26 am

and they are so good hot and fresh and in cornbread too

6:27 am

Glad you're back before I leave pugs - 30 more pages of Book 4 to read - Kyrian.

6:27 am

oh, pork rinds? those are deep fried. not partial to them.

6:27 am

hugs and good night Liz and enjoy

6:28 am

to finish my book - must be tireder than I thought! Yes, very light reading but good fun, pugs.

6:28 am

enjoy your book, Liz. sweet sleeps

6:29 am

IB what you buy at the butcher fresh are very good if you like pork

6:29 am

no fresh butcher near here. i'll have to keep my eyes peeled to try them, at least once.

6:30 am

we lost ours a few years ago and havent found another near us

6:35 am

I need to get off for awhile to take care of some things--hate to leave you alone IB---take care everyone

6:35 am

good morning . . . and wow, go CVS!! . . . CVS, the nation's second largest pharmacy chain, said Wednesday that it would stop selling all cigarettes and tobacco products nationwide by October, saying they have no place in a drugstore company that is trying to become more of a health-care provider.

6:36 am

hagd, pug. hi unea

6:36 am

whoo, une, that is very good news I hpe that others follow suit

6:36 am

and hello

6:36 am

hi ruby

6:37 am

hello ibc

6:37 am

bonjour, une

6:38 am

or even ibd!

6:40 am

THEN I read this -- Clay Aiken is running for Congress in North Carolina -- LOL!!

6:41 am

not a joke (shaking head in disbelief)

6:41 am

that is scary, une!

6:46 am

brb

6:47 am

A snowy morning to all

6:48 am

a snowy and rainy morning to all, hi bichon, will this ever end?

6:48 am

hi bichon. hi annie

6:48 am

I sure hope it will. Glad we have the snow blower though

6:48 am

hi dawg, Une, ruby, pugs

6:49 am

raining here, but very nasty. 500 ft up it is snowing

6:50 am

I don't think Clay Aiken in Congress is scarier than many who are already there!

6:50 am

hi Mimi, they are all scary

6:51 am

Who's Clay Aiken and why will be in Congress

6:51 am

It's not scary that Aiken is running for Congress. It's scary that people will vote for him. : D

6:52 am

Yep---and just remember where I live....John McCain territory.....REALLY SCARY!

6:52 am

He's an American Idol kid, Bich.

6:52 am

hi mimi, hi molly

6:52 am

Don't watch that. But, why is he scarier than all the other ones in Congress

6:53 am

Don't get me started on politics this early in the day---I'll have a headache the rest of today.......

6:54 am

Bichon, I don't find the idea of him in Congress scary at all...do any of us know what he stands for or what ideas he might have? I hope no one is against him just because he's gay...that would really be scary to me.

6:55 am

I don't think Clay's a scary candidate -- just amusing -- SNL will have a BLAST with this LOL!

6:55 am

Oh they will Une, thanks for the reminder.

6:55 am

Oh, yeah, no doubt! Gosh, I'm going to miss Seth Meyers...but really do love Cecily.

6:56 am

I guess I don't care if he's in Congress. After Ted Cruz, I've seen everything

6:56 am

And just for the record, none of my comments had anything to do with the fact that Aiken is gay.

6:57 am

No one could be scarier to me than a certain person we had for President for TWO terms...and one of the main reasons for the disaster we're in now.

6:57 am

I agree with you, Mimi

6:57 am

How did that happen Mimi?

6:57 am

I didn't think so, Molly. I can't imagine anyone in this community having that kind of prejudice. Certainly not you!

6:57 am

Paul Ryan scares me

6:57 am

nobody would ever thin that of you, Molly!!!!

6:58 am

think*

6:58 am

And Rand Paul

6:58 am

yes, Rand too

6:58 am

Morning everybody.

6:59 am

If I had traveled in Europe during that presidency, I would have told people I was Canadian so they wouldn't think I was stupid for living here and making that mistake twice!

6:59 am

Hey, Bea!

6:59 am

Hi Bea :)

6:59 am

*Must make a trip to the PB, will rustle up some blueberry muffins while I'm in there*

6:59 am

How did he win? Certainly would happen now

6:59 am

Molly, thanks

6:59 am

Is everyone liking my eerie sunset?

7:00 am

NC has lots of very conservative folks -- hope Clay has a good bodyguard . . .

7:00 am

Mimi, I did 2 of your puzzles..loved them

7:00 am

<-- looking for Molly's word....

7:00 am

And what a short memory the Republicans have...or just trying to do damage control by deflecting blame on Obama...who inherited this mess.

7:00 am

ooohhh, very cool Mimi

7:01 am

*Keeps political fingers tied*

7:01 am

Great, Annie---so glad you liked them! I put a new one up last night. Wish they'd let me make one with more than 64 pieces...only let me do that on the Carmel Sunset one.

7:01 am

I'm embarrassed by NC government.

7:01 am

I did that one, Mimi

7:02 am

Molly---how did you say I got about getting the name of the origin of a picture off these icons? For example, Shuttlecock?

7:02 am

Bea, Do you have Sanford?

7:02 am

go bout, that is.

7:02 am

we have Hollande, nuf said!

7:02 am

Bring the icon up, right click, then click on Search Google For This Image

7:03 am

in the dictionary, net to schmuck is his picture

7:03 am

Bea, you'd go into cardiac arrest in Arizona----the politicians here are certifiable...especially our governor.

7:04 am

In Jigidi, I was able to save a jigsaw I was working on. Now the puzzle always go back to the beginning when I come back to it and open it again. Anyone know how to fix this?

7:04 am

so true, mimicat . . .

7:04 am

Don't you get the option to start anew or continue Annie?

7:04 am

Annie, there is a button that says resume or restart.

7:04 am

Thanks, Molly. Many of the best pics I'm finding have those embedded "credits." Annoying.

7:05 am

Annie, Sanford?

7:05 am

Bea, It just opens up without seeing resume or restart? Am I not seeing those words?

7:05 am

Molly, I do not get that option anymore.

7:06 am

Bea, I thought you had Gov. Sanford

7:06 am

I can proudly say I didn't vote for anyone who is in office here....in fact, there just isn't anyone here worth voting for...except perhaps David Schweikert...he's at least responsive to his constituency. McCain doesn't even PRETEND to care anymore.

7:07 am

Annie, make sure you are signed into the site to save.

7:07 am

No, we have Gov. McCrory.

7:07 am

OK--no more politics...am getting a headache... Sorry to hear about the bad weather. We don't have any weather here...really boring.

7:08 am

Bea, thanks for the info on the governors

7:08 am

tadone!! finito! fun but tricky grid

7:09 am

woohoo dawg!!

7:09 am

Bea, I will sign in to jigidi. Do I have to pay to sign up? Dumb question but I dont understand why this is happening. Maybe it is like babble, free and then you have to join?

7:09 am

Were any of you here the other day when I JUST NOW discovered what the Tile Stats are for?!! Slow learner...

7:09 am

congrats, dawg

7:09 am

Congrats, lbd.

7:09 am

God for you, dawg!

7:10 am

I'm coming up on my 1 year anniversary here. Let's all have a party in the PB!!

7:10 am

I started a great puzzle (Moulin Rouge) I get halfway there, turn it off and when I come back and turn it on it is the beginning. *sigh*

7:10 am

congrats,Mimi, I'll bring champagne

7:11 am

Did you set up an account, Annie?

7:11 am

No

7:11 am

I will do that, Bea

7:11 am

That's why it won't save.

7:12 am

You need to set up an account and sign into it to save.

7:12 am

101 but nothing bigger than a 6

7:12 am

see you later, kids

7:12 am

Embedded images are the only way for photographers to keep their images from being stolen.

7:12 am

I think that will solve your problem.

7:13 am

Want to know the really STUPID thing I did on Saturday? I had finished transcribing 15 Radiology reports, got distracted by something, accidentally restarted computer and as it was shutting down, realized I hadn't saved that word document....gone! Boy, was I mad at myself.

7:14 am

Thanks very much,

7:14 am

Bea

7:14 am

I looked for where the computer might have saved it anyway but nothing was there. Had to do them all over again plus the other 10 I hadn't done. Now have a sticky note on computer that says "SAVE OFTEN." DUH....

7:14 am

You are so welcome, Annie.

7:14 am

How frustrating, Mimi.

7:15 am

Bye, ruby!

7:17 am

Yep, Bea. I couldn't even do them over again that day...had to wait until Sunday when I'd calmed down and stopped (mostly) beating myself up. The good news is it's easy to do them over, as the voice files are all still there....could have been worse.

7:20 am

rest well, ruby. UGH Mimi, that is so frustrating. Check to see if your word processing program has autosave on it. but saving your work every 5 minutes is a good rule of thumb.

7:22 am

There's supposed to be a way to find unsaved documents but when I clicked on that, nothing was there. Can I install autosave myself, dawg? Molly will know how to do that......Molly......help.

7:24 am

what word processing program are you using?

7:25 am

In Microsoft Word click TOOLS, then OPTIONS then click on the SAVE tab. The box that says SAVE AUTO RECOVER INFO EVERY TIME should be checked. You can choose how often you want it to save (every 10 minutes, for example)

7:26 am

Microsoft Word...Word Documents. The lady I work for said you just have to go into Microsoft Office somehow and it will be there....I should try and see if they're all there.

7:30 am

My son told me to do that, Molly, but when I have Word Document up, there is no TOOLS anywhere at the top, just text options (font, etc.) I must be looking in the wrong place. Can you have word documents available without activating Microsoft Office first? This computer came with it already installed somehow so I have no key to enter when Office asks for it......how obvious is it I've never taken a computer class?!!

7:33 am

mimi, are you sure it's WORD and not WORKS? works is more of a notepad program. no bells or whistles just straight typing.

7:34 am

When I want to start a new document, I click on Microsoft Word Starter 2010.

7:35 am

You have to install office, Mimi.

7:35 am

I automatically also opens any documents I already have open and gives me a list of recent ones.

7:36 am

In your VIEW you should have the STANDARD and FORMATTING toolbars clicked.

7:36 am

That's what I was afraid of, hego. There's a place to Activate it but they want the product key, which I never had....I'm sure I can find it somewhere through Control Panel?

7:40 am

And I have the nerve to say someone else is dumb?!!!

7:41 am

Ah, there is your problem. Word Starter is a different program than Word.

7:42 am

hi all.. Mimi, my computer came with Office too, BUT.. it was just for a trial period, after which.. in order to use it, I had to PAY to get the product key

7:42 am

OK...now that makes sense, Molly.

7:43 am

If you are making a living doing word processing, it's to your advantage to install the full Microsoft Word program.

7:43 am

Hi, Aloy! That's kind of what I was afraid of...I've had this computer for 2 yrs. but did purchase a version of Office when I got my desktop (that now needs a new motherboard)...couldn't I still use that same key? I have tried but it won't accept it.

7:44 am

h'mm, I don't think it is transferable, :-(

7:46 am

I think you're right, Molly...should spring for Office. I just bought a new program for playing the audio for my reports and it saves me at least an hour a day over the one I was using that my boss had paid for...worth the money. So much better quality and ease of use. Through a company called Transcription Gear....really great place.

7:47 am

Does anyone else need many more USB ports that provided on a laptop? I'm afraid to use a "splitter, though I do have one. Don't you lose some power when you use those?

7:48 am

than provided...

7:49 am

must toddle off for now, mimi, sounds like others have got you sorted out. take care everyone, may be back latter to visit.

7:50 am

Bye and thanks, dawg!

7:50 am

congrats, and bye dawger.. hagd!

7:50 am

Molly---are you still here?

7:54 am

I want to apologize to you for not being very nice to you last year. Against my better judgment, I let someone else "influence" my opinion and that was a big mistake, especially since I've discovered that person is not a good barometer of character. Won't give the name, but just know that for quite some time I've appreciated many things you have to say and all the help you're willing to provide to everyone. I just wanted to "publicly" apologize and tell you I missed you when you were gone and glad you're back.

7:55 am

Molly is a gem.

7:55 am

That message was for Molly. Does anyone have her email address in case she is gone already?

7:56 am

I dont have it.

7:56 am

me either

7:57 am

This apology was long overdue.

8:00 am

I must attend to my work. Will post this again later when I see Molly here again. Thanks for the help, everyone. Hugs all around.

8:01 am

hope you have a wonderful Wednesday, Molly.. tc

8:02 am

Aloy---have you read The Lovely Bones yet? I still haven't started the Huxley...have two others started I want to finish first.

8:03 am

ah, Molly.. thanks for the reminder.. my reading has gone by the wayside = visitors, and more coming next week

8:03 am

try to read at night and fall asleep!

8:05 am

just made a note of it, ty

8:05 am

Me, too! Now that my balcony looks so wonderful, as soon as I get a small sofa out there, I'll commune with nature and read. That is, if my one cat will stop trying to eat the silk palm trees...it's always something.....later.

8:06 am

lol, pepper spray on the leaves? ciao

8:07 am

Reminding you because I know how you love a good read and it's a book that stays with you. I read it about 5 yrs ago and it's still so vivid in my mind.

8:08 am

Nice thing to say mimi..good for you

8:08 am

fun and done and have to run.. going to check out a crib for rent.. yes, Molly.. a good read is wonderful! poof .. (( ))

8:08 am

Have Bitter Apple ordered from Amazon. Right now I spritz him with the water sprayer but I'd prefer not having to always watch them out there. Part of the reason for fixing it up in the first place was so they could come and go out there as they wish. Ah, the best laid plans....

8:09 am

it works.. my son uses it for his dog.. poof again, lol.. hi and bye ruru

8:09 am

((ruru)) You are one of the main reasons I reconsidered that attitude. I respect your opinion and you had very nice things to say about her. Thank you for that.

8:10 am

That makes my day..thanks...

8:11 am

You and crossy have always "had my back" and I appreciate that. Speaking of crossy...where IS he?

8:13 am

Did you see that I just figured out how the Tile Stat boxes work?!! How totally "duh" can I be?!! Love watching the little blinking numbers now....I'm so easily entertained....

8:13 am

Haven't seen much of him lately. To be honest.

8:13 am

I haven't been on a lot either..With all the small grids

8:14 am

What is the bitter apple for?

8:14 am

Coming up on my 1-yr. anniversary on Babble and JUST figured that out....talk about a slow learner! Yes, I have missed you.

8:15 am

The bitter apple is to spray on my silk palm trees that I have on my balcony patio so one of my cats won't' chew on the fake fronds....driving me NUTS.

8:15 am

I am still learning tricks..that one wasn't obvious at first to me either

8:16 am

That might work.

8:17 am

That stuff is awful tasting

8:18 am

Ruru, you should see this patio now. It's my little tropical oasis. Enclosed on 3 sides with a roof and I'm upstairs. I have alternated palm trees and lattice panels all the way across the open part so I can't see my neighbors as well now but the top is still open so I can see my beautiful sunsets. I have solar lights in the trees as well as light stakes which automatically come on at dusk and shut off when the sun starts shining in the morning. At night it looks like the lights are floating in air. Making me SOOO happy!

8:19 am

That sounds nice

8:19 am

sounds fantastic mimi!!

8:19 am

Gm...ms. une...

8:20 am

And I found great little LED tealights with timers in them for indoors so they also come on and go off the same time every day. I had such a rough couple of years so now I'm enjoying every minute of this.

8:20 am

howdy

8:20 am

Amazon is incredible....now I don't' shop anywhere else!

8:21 am

am always a fan of no sales tax and free shipping :-)

8:21 am

I have to do regular shopping...and never ever understood the entire concept of "window shopping."

8:21 am

Mrs. Ru...is a heavy supporter of amazon..

8:22 am

But shopping on Amazon is kind of like window shopping...without the annoying salespeople and crowds! I can handle this type of browsing.

8:22 am

It can be pretty useful

8:23 am

When my lawsuit settles (we're hoping in May), am buying a little stock in Amazon. That way I'll feel like I'm paying myself! Want to get some Netflix stock, too, but it just went way up.

8:24 am

didja see this, ru? http://tinyurl.com/me6hh7p

8:24 am

Amazon has EVERYTHING...I'm simply astounded by the variety. And for better prices than just about anywhere else. The customer service is unbelievable.

8:24 am

What is it une..I am on my phone

8:25 am

puppy and peyton manning scowl lookalikes :-)

8:26 am

Oh cute. I will check it out later

8:26 am

Now I really need to get to work. So good talking to you, Une, and ruru...what can I say?!! Hugs.

8:26 am

:-)

8:27 am

HAGD mimi!

8:27 am

Did you see the puppy commercial on Super Bowl day

8:27 am

Am going to post apology to Molly on Babble Facebook and hope she sees it....poof!

8:27 am

Bye mimi

8:33 am

it's several different ads -- have been airing for a couple of weeks :-)

8:34 am

I will keep a eye out for them. .I don't watch TV that much

8:34 am

not as many awesome commercials as there have been in the past.....did like the pistachio one though and of course the clysdales (sp?)

8:34 am

ooohhhh you were talking about the Budweiser puppy ad -- yes, I DID see that :-)

8:35 am

that one brought tears to my eyes

8:35 am

I am a sap

8:35 am

The Clydesdale one was terrific. .lab puppies are too cute

8:36 am

did you see the one with the horses and the goat?

8:36 am

8:36 am

I got to play with a lot of them at Guide Dogs

8:37 am

the Subaru ads are a series called :dog tested"

8:37 am

labs are the best....I miss mine since my ex took her but have my kitties now to keep me company

8:37 am

here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aiy9Krv\nCJ_I

8:38 am

I cant bring that up at work.....will check on it later

8:38 am

8:38 am

8:39 am

8:39 am

Une, pb for you >>>>>>and hi

8:39 am

One to torment Dylan

8:40 am

I know .... but I thought a dog may not be best for me now that I am alone. If the weather is bad like today I can stay here in town with a friend and not drive home.....I wouldnt be able to do that with a dog. I adopted my 10 year old male angora/coon cats.

11:36 am

I'm guessing Dr. God has seen more amusing emails Hursh.

11:37 am

and be inconvenienced little, if at all.

11:37 am

it was his reply that made me realize.

11:38 am

ah, well, these things happen. (am i annoying philosophical today? yes.)

11:39 am

que sera, sera, etc.

11:40 am

if you had a jeeves, you could have avoided this faux pas, i bet.

11:41 am

All British wannabes should have a butler wannabe

1:41 pm

hi

1:53 pm

Good Afternoon, Everyone. Justpopping in between housework jobs....

1:53 pm

hi

1:57 pm

I was shocked this AM. Usually I do all sorts of picking up and putting away when getting ready for bed; (put all dishes in the dishwasher, clean up the kitchen, pick up any toys laying around, get the coffee pot ready to turn on in the AM, pick up stuff that is laying around, etc) and I didn't do that last night. My house was a disaster this morning; it looked like a tornado hit it!

1:58 pm

been there, done that... ;o)

1:59 pm

I don't think I'll forget to do that again for a while; it was overwhelming to me.

2:02 pm

gotta do something....bb soon...

2:03 pm

May I have stats or clues for a 7 and the 8 for NBS please?

2:04 pm

co8-45, that fonzie air

2:05 pm

no7 plural

2:05 pm

no6, store without goods has ** ****k

2:05 pm

thanks, joss; will ponder on that a bit. :-)

2:06 pm

DANG SpellCheck! It SAID JOSO when I hit enter!

2:06 pm

co8, also that arctic air

2:07 pm

thanks, got it now! :-)

2:07 pm

np nef, I'm well used to it, take no offence from it

2:08 pm

it bugs me though, joso; why can't it leave your name alone once I type it?

2:10 pm

hey all, how goes?

2:11 pm

hi jes

2:12 pm

how's DH, Nef?

2:12 pm

hey jes

2:14 pm

not the best, jes. He's been battling a relapse in his MS for over a month, and even the "big guns" steroids aren't reversing this bout. It's very wearing on all of us.

2:15 pm

aww, that sucks.

2:16 pm

it does suck, jes. But I still feel hopeful but he's getting depressed by this

2:18 pm

MS is such a horrid disease :(

2:19 pm

He's been diagnosed for 26 years and has done very well; I often think how lucky he is that there are so many different meds that work these days. (His mother had MS and died in 1976 at age 52. There weren't any meds for it back then)

2:20 pm

Isn't there a similar disease in some animals, jes?

2:21 pm

yay for medical science! Ah, not exactly. There are a couple of things that might seem close, like 'coon-hound paralysis' but that's curable.

2:22 pm

I wonder why?

2:22 pm

good afternoon everyone. Our ice is melting like crazy, we were lucky and only lost a couple branches off a tree near our house. So far nothing has fallen on the house! Yippee!

2:23 pm

HOW MUCH SNOW DID YOU GET, PHAND?

2:23 pm

most excellent news phand

2:23 pm

Ooops! sorry for yelling!

2:23 pm

no snow just ice about 1/4 inch worth

2:24 pm

unfortunately, last Sunday when it was quite nice, we were driving around with our sun roof open. We left it open...

2:24 pm

the myelin grows back - it's a lot of short term care but in theory if you nurse them through it they are normal afterwards. Different ultimate cause of demyelenation, I guess?

2:25 pm

well that's almost worse, isn't it?

2:25 pm

sometimes I feel as if I am the only one in the house with common sense and I am tired of it

2:25 pm

yes, it is in my mind, Nef.

2:25 pm

ugh!

2:25 pm

heh. do you also have a 17 year old, peri? because I've been feeling like that a LOT lately.

2:26 pm

I have no children. but there is a 4 year old and two people in their 30's and my sis and bro in law

2:26 pm

it is not my house

2:27 pm

if I had a 17year old, he or she would be doing a lot more than these folks are doing

2:27 pm

ah. well, you'd hope ppl would get some sense by their 30's...

2:27 pm

you would, but no

2:27 pm

sadly, we can't fix stupid...

2:28 pm

crap. i've been assuming the kid would grow out of this...

2:28 pm

will start looking for a place of my own soon.

2:28 pm

Apparently you can't fix lazy either

2:28 pm

indeed Molly that is more like it

2:28 pm

lazy, stupid = same thing...

fireworks!

2:29 pm

good job, Steve.

2:29 pm

the snow and ice are melting and some is sticking to the driveway along with the slush. but I do not feel like shoveling anywmore when no one else seems to care

2:29 pm

yay steve!

2:29 pm

Congrats, stevedallas

2:29 pm

whenever I do shovel it is mainly for me, but the others still benefit

2:29 pm

I don't blame you, Peri

2:30 pm

too bad you can't deny them use of your shoveled area

2:30 pm

the ice is falling from the trees that hang over the driveway and I am afraid that it will freeze more the longer it stays there. I did put salt on it and shovel some of it. no one else thought to put salt on it altho they knew it was there

2:31 pm

wish I could, jes

2:33 pm

phan, how is hospice coming along?

2:33 pm

waiting for them to "do what they need to do" before I can be assigned anyone. I did all I can do, now it is up to them.

2:34 pm

ok

2:34 pm

maybe by next week, I don't know.

2:34 pm

Hello babbleworld

2:34 pm

hi and bye jilly.

2:35 pm

just stopped in to vent. thanks for listening

2:35 pm

you bet. Have a good day peri

2:35 pm

Hi, Jilly

2:35 pm

Sorry peri, it'll get better....spring is on the way

2:35 pm

Sorry, got called away by a phone call. jes, that's really interesting about the myelin sheath growing back!

2:37 pm

(((peri))) sorry you have to put up with lazy. :-(

2:37 pm

Got the 8! good start!

2:38 pm

what does it begin with, Jilly?

2:38 pm

the co4/5...Happy Days "the Foz" was co**

2:38 pm

with lake monster ending

2:39 pm

BTW, jes, once the kids' brain matures, it WILL get better! My son finally grew up by age 22....

2:39 pm

thanks, Jilly

2:41 pm

Or 28 nef...LOL

2:42 pm

hi all

2:42 pm

phan, good luck with Hospice! I was so upset with some news here in MN this weekend: Eleanor Mondale (wife of former VP, Walter Mondale) entered Hospice on Friday (I think) and died Sunday. It makes me upset that people wait too long before entering Hospice

2:42 pm

hello jen!

2:42 pm

And hi Jilly and Jen and everyone else!

2:43 pm

JIlly, I didn't want to scare jes by saying that the brain may take That long to mature! ;-)

2:50 pm

sun is out today here in MO, expecting more snow on Friday

2:50 pm

Well, have to say I am jaded because mine did the marriage mistake at 22. Much wiser now!

2:51 pm

heh. i'm just worried at this point that he's going to move out and have a rough time of life for a while. It may take him losing a couple jobs and failing his college courses before he starts showing some responsibility for himself.

2:52 pm

Marriage mistake? Well, my son got married at 29, and they are now divorcing. But the grandson is a good thing from that union. And my son learned that you can't "fix" bipolar mental illness

2:53 pm

jes, sometimes that is the only way they learn. (Just make sure he gets his HS diploma first

2:53 pm

Nef, I so agree with your comment on Hospice. I worked in HH/Hospice for 15 years and that was what I saw. Our society puts too much into this "valiant fight with cancer". There are times when fighting is just not uplifting to quality or quantity of life. Families, pateints and health care providers are too afraid to really discuss options. And few really realize of what benefit Hospice can be.

2:54 pm

Here, here, Jilly! I totally agree!

2:54 pm

Hang in there Jes, it does get better. It is hard to watch our children fail or ignore our advice, but they do learn and hopefully without too serious of consequences.

2:56 pm

Thankfully, our eldest did join Coast Guard instead of heading right into college (he'd have flunked out). My mom had a hissy with her grandson not going to college, now she realizes what an appropriate choice. He learned responsibility. AND he feels all HS grads should go through a bootcamp experience-he said all would benefit from it.

2:56 pm

I finally told Frank's Aunt Jean that it was "Palliative Care" so that she would agree to the comfort measures of Hospice. (she had end-stage heart failure and died of it; but she got comfort from the Hospice/Palliative Care for 2 months at the end.

2:57 pm

sorry popped out for a few. Nef, much of the public think hospice is only for dying not for making the remainder of your life better. We had a patient at the hospital I was working at. She was 70 some years old 6 or so months into a stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis, which she did not want to do anything about and wasn't in hospice yet. She did go with hospice during that stay, but she was already 6 or so months closer to death.

2:57 pm

I dearly wish Hospice didn't come with that 6 month terminality thing

2:58 pm

Here we see that Palliative Care is being better-received than Hospice

3:00 pm

the public needs more education.

3:00 pm

is it 6 months, hilly? I *think* you can sign out and then back into it again..., can't you?

3:00 pm

Drat. Jilly, not Hilly.

3:01 pm

I believe that is true, Nef.

3:01 pm

a doc must certify that (with a certain amount of reasonable accuracy) you have 6 months life expectancy. If you pass that, they can recertify for another 6 months, if you pass that, they can permanently certify

3:02 pm

however, you have to be declining... if you improve, and pass the recert time, they may choose not to reenroll you

3:02 pm

there are worse things than being kicked out of hospice

3:02 pm

Thanks for the info, kje. I knew someone would answer that one.

3:03 pm

those are medicare rules, private pay insurance for younger adults may be different, but most follow medicare rules

3:04 pm

hello everyone :)

3:05 pm

hi

3:06 pm

Back in the early 70's when I was a county health nurse, we had to assess our patients every 2 months to continue Medicare/Medical assistance coverage. If we wrote our reports so that the patient was declining, they'd be kicked off our files "because they belonged in a nursing home" or if we made them sound too healthy, they'd be kicked off food that too! We always had to make the reports so that the patient was doing better in this area but doing worse in a different area!

3:07 pm

hi nan

3:07 pm

it is such a ridiculous game at times - due to th efew who abuse it

3:09 pm

yes, it is, kje. And the number of people who do abuse it isn't very large(the # of patients, that is) but those that do abuse the system really do gouge it a lot!

3:09 pm

With Home Health under Medicare it all focuses on homebound and sufficient progress with documented goals to improve deficits

3:10 pm

LOL...there were those that would improve and leave hospice we called them Hospice flunkies.

3:11 pm

the abuses aren't so much patients (they can't be enrolled without clinicians), but the clinicians who commit fraud

3:11 pm

And nef, HCP has to certify an expected 6 mos or less terminality, with some strict exeptions for palliative care. But that's pretty nebulous, it's God's call and many lived beyond that with Hospice

3:11 pm

there was a HUGE case in Dallas when I was there with a privately owned health care agency. we had known the doc was committing fraud for a long time before Medicare finally got the data to convict him... I forget how many millions of dollars

3:11 pm

yes, Jilly, but you know that some people do very well for years at home with maybe med checks and BP checks and someone just doing a few things for them. But if no one is checking on them, they do deteriorate and then are a much larger financial burden (i.e.: in long term care, etc.)

3:12 pm

ah nef, you think the system should make sense ; )

3:13 pm

I do, kje! I have such faith that Something should make sense in this!

3:13 pm

there is lots we can do to lessen cost, but the way the system is, it is easy to cost shift so that there is no incentive to develop the best systems for patients and outcomes - each pot is a different set of money - hospital, nursing home, rehab, home care, clinics

3:13 pm

In my early days in HH, Medicare covered regular blood tests for med management with things like Coumadin and Dig, that way we could put in a 2-3 X week bath aide who in turn could check med boxes we would fill monthly. Balanced Budget Act of 1997 changed all that.

3:14 pm

yes, can't send nurses out for blood draws anymore... thus why I did them as a fellow : (

3:14 pm

I read a few years ago that Medicare fraud in FL alone was a $10 million dollar business! And nationally, it tops out over $12 billion per year!

3:15 pm

And KJE, I spent time in Utilzation Review for our agency. It is far easier to obtain SS numbers and create patients that meet criteria than to document same with real patients. You see that most in larger suburban areas.

3:15 pm

and that is an example... would be cheaper to send a RN out to do that, but instead, we schedule a doc visit at the time blood is needed and they get charged for a doc visit instead, which is must more costly

3:15 pm

Oh, that and they covered pedicures by a nurse monthly.

3:16 pm

The BB act of 1997 was the beginning of my becoming an Independent and leaving the Republican party

3:16 pm

yes!

3:16 pm

medicare will still cover podiatry payments for patients with diabetes for clipping nails

3:16 pm

It drives me bonkers sometimes how "the Rules and Law" are written!

3:17 pm

True kje, but rules much broader before. What they failed to see was the value of an RN assessing a patient monthly. I know we kept people healthier, but Medicare doesn't note death rates, only hospitalizations.

3:18 pm

we have a podiatrist that does house calls, psychiatrist, audiologist - so much van be done in the home at cheaper cost, but the issue is that it is more susceptible to fraud for some reason.... why don't the same people pick on clinics and make up patients there rather than at home, thus screwing it up for patients who have no alternatives

3:18 pm

I guess we now need to add swedish to our vocabularies!

3:18 pm

Umm, curious comment cyber, and hello1

3:18 pm

Medicare part D could NOT negotiate medication costs with the drug companies! How stupid is that! (The government pays for full price for brand names; whereas individual drug stores and Target and Costco can negotiate prices!

3:18 pm

yes, that was a weird one, cyber!

3:19 pm

was referring to the sl 5/22 --- swedish woodworking term

3:19 pm

yes, thank the GOP for that - protected the drug companies ENORMOUSLY. That was shocking at the time

3:19 pm

yes, I knew what you meant cyber!

3:20 pm

(Psst! She's Canadian! WE are speaking a foreign language to her!)

3:20 pm

ahh..ty for clue cyber!

3:20 pm

sorry -- wasn't taking any note of your American health care system or non healthcare system as the case may be -- really don't know too much about it!

3:20 pm

reading back...crossy hugs and kisses his universal health care car(and no,i do not care if the government is running it) lol

3:26 pm

It's ok. I was heart broken, but am over it now.

3:26 pm

3:27 pm

Okay, better grammar, Phan, sorry I missed that, was probably on vacation...but really crappy for a new grad...stinks actually

3:27 pm

Bye cyber! TC

3:27 pm

"Molly's woofer comments?" What do you mean, Jilly?

3:28 pm

wooTer nef...she teased me about my FW cheer

3:28 pm

Dang! I copied and pasted your comment there, Jilly; and my stupid spellcheck changed even that!

3:29 pm

I have mine turned off for chat...saves face, so my mistakes are my mistakes

3:30 pm

I really did stink, Jilly. But it is what it is and it was a learning experience for me.

3:30 pm

I'm having more computer problems at this point and should call the company about it again. Otherwise I'd try and find Spellcheck and shut it OFF!

3:30 pm

*It, not I... lol

3:30 pm

wow. I did not know that there was such a thing as "cucamelons" they are cucumbers, with a hint of lime that look like baby watermellons and ware the size of grapes...

3:31 pm

interesting, Crossy

3:31 pm

Well, oncology isn't what I'd consider as an good place to start out as a nurse, phand

3:31 pm

Okay, a nice even 66 left off to be productive...bbl

3:32 pm

i can tell you first hand that oncology is hard core. :(( those nurses are made of strong stuff indeed

3:32 pm

Yes, I know, Nef.

3:32 pm

Hey, cross, how are you doing? Have you been MIA lately here?

3:33 pm

nope, nef, been in and out every day. school and my new Jigidi addictions is eating up some of my time, however.

3:55 pm

mkg...did you get the co 8?

4:12 pm

4:15 pm

4:15 pm

may I have a clue for the 5th CO 5/12?

4:16 pm

we were conversing earlier, Evan...

4:16 pm

hi nut, long time no see.no-one answered me in welsh last so if they answer you...huh!! :)

4:16 pm

4:16 pm

liliann, sup baby doll? i'm all lonesome tonight so puzzling

4:16 pm

hi phan

4:17 pm

Thanks, Evan. Her name is Jazz and she just turned 5

4:17 pm

Hi, Lili

4:17 pm

awwww, i miss my mackie so much, he was nearing 13 when i put him down november

4:18 pm

co512 is when your wrapped up in a warm blanket by a roaring fire

4:18 pm

it's never easy to lose our furry friends, but how wonderful that you got 13 years. What kind of dog was Mackie?

4:18 pm

he was a mix, yellow lab, golden retriever and collie

4:18 pm

thank you Lili! I really thought I tried that.

4:19 pm

sorry to hear that nut.hugs

4:19 pm

yw phan

4:19 pm

and he would have welcomed my murderer with a smile if they only pet him

4:19 pm

tyvm reader 951

4:19 pm

Jazz would bark like crazy, but then run away...

4:20 pm

i miss our sam, he was a golden retriever.well, he was my f.i.l's but lived with us

4:20 pm

so sweet, now i'm stuck waiting probably five years till i get another four legged furry to love

4:20 pm

golden's are such great dogs. But then so are shepherd mixes, but then I am a bit partial on that one...

4:21 pm

why 5 years, evan?

4:21 pm

lol nut, our's too.he would lie by the gate and not let the postman in.the postman would try and push him with the gate but he would lift his head and look at him and then go back to sleep as in to say don't bother me.i miss him

4:21 pm

want to wait until we are in our permanent home, and want to travel with my hubber a bit first

4:22 pm

aw, lilliann he sounds like the PERFECT doggie

4:22 pm

both very good reasons to wait.

4:22 pm

That is a funny story, Lili

4:22 pm

that's probably best then nut.where do you both want to travel?

4:23 pm

our lifetime goal is to get to all the national parks

4:23 pm

he was beautiful and so soft to everyone

4:23 pm

and there are some international goals too like south korea

4:23 pm

may I have a clue for es 5/12?

4:23 pm

sounds great nut, i hope your wishes come true

4:24 pm

es5 and baby's bed

4:24 pm

and pl

4:24 pm

i'll take what i can get, i'm not fussed, but having goals makes sure things happen

4:24 pm

My neighbor has a golden retriever and she is such a lover. I have allergy issues with Goldens though.

4:24 pm

thanks again, Lili

4:25 pm

i have very specific desires for my next dog

4:25 pm

i want a silver lab

4:25 pm

i need to write a bucket list...alot of things i want to do i know i can't physically but i can change it slightly :)

4:25 pm

I have never heard of a silver lab

4:25 pm

they are not a recognized color, they are officially classified as chocolate

4:25 pm

but they come out silver silver silver

4:26 pm

yw and that's a shame phan, but they do have alot of hair and i do admit i don't miss his malting.

4:26 pm

silver lab, never heard of them

4:27 pm

google the silver lab, you won't be sorry!

4:27 pm

I just googled it. I can see that they would be classified as chocolate at least the pics I saw. But it isn't as deep a brown color, I was thinking it looked more pewterish...

4:27 pm

its a compromise, hubber wants a black lab and i want a weimer...silver lab is the perfect middle ground

4:28 pm

i had a weimeraner, they are called silver ghosts as in the winter they go silvery looking.i miss mine, he was a long haired which is quite rare for a weimerener

4:28 pm

there you go!

4:28 pm

I didn't know you could get a long haired weimerener

4:28 pm

i still love the weimers, but i have to admit i prefer the easy training of the lab

4:29 pm

i just googled them nut and they looked very much like a weimerener

4:29 pm

the io 5 pls?

4:30 pm

i have no clue how to clue that one

4:30 pm

io5 is pt of don't

4:31 pm

i don't know if that is right.

4:31 pm

got it, thanks.

4:31 pm

i didn't know what it was...still don't :-)

4:32 pm

id + past tense of do

4:32 pm

nut,when i said about my weimerener i hadn't read your bit about wanting a weimeraner and lab,and i never knew there was a cross

4:33 pm

L, you shouldn't be talking about your weimerener. Isn't that kind of personal? : P

4:33 pm

nope, not a cross between the two. the silver is a pure bred chocolate lab with a coat that is more grey than chocolate

4:34 pm

is it delivery? No! its digiorno. yes, that's how the cooking goes with the hubby out of town.

4:35 pm

that's how I cook, too!

4:35 pm

my friend bred them phan, and she had a long haired one and most of the pups were always short but some came out long haired.we ended up getting him because as a farmer said he would kill him if he went on his land again, which was fair enough as he went on twice with his mate and killed a couple of sheep so the farmer was in his rights to do so and because she was a friend let the dog off.he also brought down deer.

4:36 pm

well, I am glad you saved him.

4:38 pm

the first lo 5/10?

4:39 pm

... a type of soil

4:39 pm

lo+ most of the Loch monster

4:40 pm

thanks, Molly

4:40 pm

it looks very much like a weimeraner in the pics i've seen nut.

4:41 pm

:) molly

4:42 pm

but the silver labs are darker and thicker snouted like labs.beautiful though. i would love a dog again.no point though

4:43 pm

why do you say that, Lili?

4:43 pm

You look at pictures of them too L? Does your husband know?

4:44 pm

you'd be surprised at what i look at molly ;)

4:45 pm

I better quit while I'm ahead L. Before someone says I'm accusing you of things.

4:45 pm

because i couldn't walk a dog and husband works away most of the time and the bairn is growing up and would love one but she is 14, so she'd do it for a month or two and then get bored and it wouldn't be fair on the dog

4:45 pm

no you're not, i'm just having fun :)

4:46 pm

oh, aye, i see what you mean now..lol

4:46 pm

I see. Better to think about the animal, so many people don't consider them when they get a pet.

4:47 pm

no 6/18 (both)

4:47 pm

so sorry, me mama called!

4:47 pm

AND an unknown grey cat showed up on my porch

4:47 pm

I know the 2nd one is plural, I don't have the 5/10...

4:47 pm

yes phan.i could be selfish but it wouldn't be fair.which is why i have a cat.i would have a house full but husband wouldn't let me.i would like to foster cats but then i think i'd get too attached and never let any of them go

4:47 pm

what are you gonna do about the grey cat, Evan?

4:48 pm

sorry, phan, i don't have either yet

4:49 pm

are cats chipped in the U.S?

4:49 pm

slacker!

4:49 pm

phan, here's the odd thing. i live in the middle of nowhere.

4:49 pm

can be, Lili

4:49 pm

maybe someone dumped him/her

4:49 pm

i have fresh snow all over here...and no cat tracks coming in. he ran under my porch. leaves me wondering how long it's been living there

4:50 pm

plural the neck adornment. and no + dow jones is part of the ****k exchange

4:50 pm

are you going to let it in?

4:50 pm

my driveway is a long haul from the road

4:50 pm

SNOOP DAWGGY DAWG!!!

4:50 pm

phan, it split the minute it saw me

4:50 pm

NUTTY CAKE!!

4:51 pm

where you calling me a slacker phan?lol because if you were i'm now going to ask you only for clues for my last 35 words, and you better have them!! :D

4:51 pm

sound ferrel. Maybe help it out by providing some food?

4:51 pm

could be a wild one nut

4:51 pm

*were

4:51 pm

haha. I might be in trouble then, Lili!

4:51 pm

i have a heated shelter outside for my cats...plus unheated cat boxes with heat reflecting liner

4:52 pm

how's my dawgster?

4:52 pm

aye, i agree with phan.cats are very strange selfish animals anyway.only go where they want and stay because they want to

4:52 pm

how nice, Evan.

4:52 pm

I'm doing okay, how about you? it's been forever!

4:53 pm

yes indeedy, amazing what a long winter and a snowstorm can do when the husband is out of town

4:53 pm

ty lbd and hi :)

4:53 pm

hi lil! hubby outta town and you all alone out there!! where's the black pearl when you need her? lol

4:53 pm

you'd better be looking for the words phan :D

4:54 pm

me thinks the black pearl is hiding in the garage

4:55 pm

I am, I am.

4:55 pm

I have 13 left...

4:55 pm

i'm surprised you don't have the county's cats coming to your's with all the heated houses.it's like a posh hotle for cats :)

4:56 pm

you and renny need to break her out and ravage the high seas again.

4:56 pm

well, actually, since we can't both be captains of the black pearl, she captains the black pearl and i captain the high sea grrl

4:58 pm

never thought about you two both being the captains.

4:59 pm

being a lowly swabby, I answered to either one of you! lol

5:00 pm

Good day to all. Captain Nutty has returned from the sea! Hi matey!

5:00 pm

well, you're being impressed into the service of the high sea grrl, now swab those decks!

5:00 pm

SCRABBEDYDOODAAA!

5:01 pm

aye aye, capp

5:01 pm

*scrubbing the deck*

5:01 pm

hiya, scrabs

5:01 pm

hi scrabs:)

5:01 pm

gotta keep crackin on the crew! did you snow shoe today scrabber?

5:02 pm

I worked all day and I am on call now. I cross-country skied yesterday and will go again Fri, Sat, and Sun.

5:02 pm

If the trails are in good condition I ski, if not, I snowshoe in the woods.

5:03 pm

aaaaah, i still regret getting that infected cat bite when you were going to be in cooks forest

5:03 pm

I saw a kid with cat scratch disease this afternoon.

5:03 pm

Maybe I will go back to Cook Forest again someday. Those woods were cool and the kayaking was nice.

5:03 pm

oh yeah? i never did get to tell you that first antibiotics didn't work and they were making crazy admit me to the hospital threats

5:04 pm

may I have a clue for the so6/18?

5:04 pm

i also still have no real understanding of what cat scratch disease is

5:04 pm

so6, plural

5:05 pm

I didn't know that, Nutty. Cat bites can get infected quickly, even within a few hrs, because those long fangs deposit bacteria deep into one's tissue.

5:05 pm

don't have it yet phan will look

5:05 pm

oh, I need the 2nd one.

5:05 pm

Cat scratch disease is usually benign.

5:05 pm

hi everybody :)

5:05 pm

yeah, its why i ended up not getting to cooks. i was surprised how bad it got.

5:05 pm

just saw joso clue ty joso, but i'll need to find the 5 first

5:05 pm

hello da row

5:06 pm

Hello new entrants. The chat log is getting busy.

5:06 pm

cat scratch disease scrabs??

5:06 pm

hi row

5:06 pm

the way i like it :)

5:06 pm

like a bar...

5:06 pm

I love seeing your drawings, Nutty. So colorful.

5:06 pm

the 2nd sylable only has one vowel though

5:06 pm

i've only got 29 words so far and am already slowing down quite a bit... how are you guys finding this puzzle?

5:07 pm

thanks scrabs! i did a smart thing and married my biggest art fan so now i'm well supplied and encourage to draw frequently

5:07 pm

2nd so6 the most embarrassing way a mom could refer to her male child

5:07 pm

Yes, cat scratch disease starts with a scratch or bite, then a small nodule develops, and within 2 wks or so the nearest lymph node becomes very swollen.

5:08 pm

Rows, I am up to 37 in < 10 minutes, but I am chatting too much.

5:08 pm

that is embarrassing. I might have to refer to my own son that way...

5:08 pm

thank you, Joso.

5:08 pm

i had a lump at the bite site after antibiotics, but not the same thing

5:08 pm

nonsense scrabs! whens the last time we saw on here. but, i have been instructed to set down food for the feline interloper.

5:09 pm

do it in front of his friends for maximum effect

5:09 pm

ok, 7 left but need to do a bit of chores. will be back later.

5:09 pm

ha, you are outdoing me for sure, scrabbler

5:09 pm

oh, ok ty scrabs.will look out for small nodules when my cat scratches us

5:09 pm

but you are probably better at this game than i

5:09 pm

i almost never finish these

5:09 pm

Clean cat scratches and bites promptly and well.

5:09 pm

ahh, now you leave when you're supposed to be clueing my words phan...mmmmm :)

5:09 pm

heck, I just decided I would stay...

5:09 pm

lol lilli

5:11 pm

Nutty, you're cats are silly, staying outside in the snow instead of shelter.

5:11 pm

we do normally scrabs, but i go one from my cat the other day on my chest when i was getting into bed and i must admit i didn't.it's only a tiny scratch.she doesn't normally scrath me, just eh bairn and hubby when they play with her

5:11 pm

or don't get scratched and bit in the first place

5:12 pm

enjoy your chores phan...you owe me :D

5:12 pm

they are scrabs! but now i wonder if its because they're keeping an eye on the interloper. which i have just set food out for.

5:12 pm

Once one of my hamster's bit me and I developed an infection within a few hours. Those long teeth were sunk deeply.

5:12 pm

nah, chores can wait...

5:12 pm

A neighbor's cat or a stray?

5:13 pm

not this far up in snow this deep! my guess is its been hiding out under the porch most of the winter.

5:13 pm

honestly, you can owe me my last 25 another time :)

5:14 pm

We got at least a foot of snow today and it is still snowing.

5:14 pm

if you don't want to do my chores phan, you're welcome to come and do mine

5:14 pm

a balmy 5 degrees above here.

5:14 pm

my husband sat back down. I was only getting up as I was feeling guilty...

5:14 pm

i'm sick of seeing double letters!!

5:15 pm

joso, ty for the so6 words

5:15 pm

oh ok, lol

5:16 pm

i do that, when mine is home phan :)

5:16 pm

BRB, I must nuke something for dinner.

5:16 pm

right?

5:17 pm

in fact triple and double letters.my eyes don't know which way to look and i'm getting dizzy!! :)

5:18 pm

there are lots and lots of double/triple letters in this puzzle!

5:18 pm

i've never known a grid quite this bad

5:19 pm

as in with loads of triple/double letter that is

5:19 pm

I am having fun so far.

5:20 pm

the first 100 were ok scrabs but then it get's googly eyed!! :)

5:20 pm

I finished the C's. Phew.

5:21 pm

anyone have the NO 5/10 6/18 pair?

5:22 pm

what a hang amn puts around your neck phan

5:22 pm

*man

5:22 pm

thanks, Lili

5:23 pm

did anyone hear about CVS stopping selling cigarettes? If so, what do you think about that?

5:23 pm

yay scrabs.wait until you find all the s's and then you'll be sick of double letters :)

5:23 pm

yw phan

5:26 pm

and fw!

5:27 pm

I applaud CVS's decision! They are sacrificing profits and encouraging health. Yay!

5:27 pm

Yay!!Wtg phan :D

5:28 pm

I agree, Scrabbs!

5:28 pm

I agree Scrabbler! I plan to switch my Rx to CVS , unless Walgreen's follows suit.

5:28 pm

Walgreen's has said they don't plan to at this time, but that they sell cessation products.

5:29 pm

(((((lil))))))))lovely to see you hin :D

5:29 pm

A corporation ia actually making the proper ethical and moral decision. I was shocked when I saw the news.

5:30 pm

Hi cheeky lil nice to see you too xoxo

5:30 pm

popping out for a bit.

5:30 pm

I predict many people will switch allegiance to CVS, and Walgreens will have no choice but to follow suit. I'm surprised Wal-Mart hasn't already stopped selling ciggies

5:30 pm

how you doing hin?

5:31 pm

Lil & Lil, together again ♥

5:31 pm

is cvs a big shop?

5:31 pm

Other corporations must now think hard--Rite Aid, Walgreens, etc.

5:31 pm

Ive been sick about a week, but was able to go back to work today. Nasty sinus infection, laryngitis, coughing

5:31 pm

bfn phan :)

5:32 pm

Yes cheeky, CVS is a big drugstore, I think it's one of the top 3 brands in the US

5:32 pm

That's what everybody has, Lil.

5:32 pm

Yes I know Scrabbler... if my co-worker had stayed home when she got it, then the rest of us might have been spared.

5:33 pm

it's not nice lil, i've had something similar but am glad you are feeling better.hugs

5:33 pm

But people are usually contagious shortly before they even feel sick. And the germs are everywhere. Day cares and schools are the major germ factories.

5:34 pm

oh ok.i've only ever heard of wal marts and that isn't known as a drugstore is it? to us a drugstore is a chemist

5:34 pm

In the old days pharmacies and drug stores were called apothecaries here.

5:35 pm

We say drugstore... you get your prescrptions filled by the pharmacist and also can shop for personal items like shampoo, aspirins, etc.

5:36 pm

i suppose because children hardly wash their hands scrabs.my husband has bacterial wash on his coach, so when people get on and off and also after using hand saop in the toilet he has bacterial wash but alot don't use it

5:37 pm

we can do that in a chemist too lil but now in our supermarkets we can get prescriptions, and practically everyhting

5:38 pm

Kids are always putting their fingers in their nose and mouth, and rubbing eyes.

5:38 pm

Most supermarkets here now have pharmacies too.

5:41 pm

no6/7 is a weird word.apparently it is a blue/green algae

5:45 pm

by the way, I got a job interview for next week!

5:45 pm

Great! For what position?

5:46 pm

for an RN position at a local Nursing Home.

5:46 pm

Wonderful.

5:47 pm

yes. It is a nice home.

5:48 pm

Hi all. Just starting. The great NOrthwest has absolutely blue skies, steady winds, and below freezing temperatures all day (28 ish). Glad to see you phand, scrabbs, and lilliann.

5:49 pm

Very nice.

5:49 pm

Hi stidgmere

5:49 pm

good to see you, g'mere

5:49 pm

Sounds like you are positioning yourself for a nice job, phandma.

5:50 pm

all the best phan, i'm sure you'll blow them away :)

5:50 pm

I sure hope so! It is so hard to get a job as a new grad in this area.

5:51 pm

hi gmere, lovely to see you

5:51 pm

Nothing like the enthusiasm of a beginning professional with the latest information.

5:53 pm

I've been practicing cadenzas for this evening's rehearsal. Pray for me.

5:53 pm

I am most excited about it being about 15 mins from my house!

5:53 pm

What are cadenzas?

5:53 pm

everyone has to be new at some point phan and there are always places that will give people like you a job.just be confident but not cocky, show a bit of your personality as you need one in a care home and you'll be fine

5:54 pm

what rehearsal gmere and i don't know what a cadenza is?

5:54 pm

I was wondering the same thing, Scrabbs

5:55 pm

Not a musical ♪♫ group here tonight Gran Mere : )

5:55 pm

Thanks for the encouragment, Lili

5:55 pm

I am not a musician. I tried but my brain can't do it.

5:55 pm

Cadenzas are "runs" in music. Usually just a broken chord also called arpeggios (but that may not be spelled right.)

5:55 pm

Molly, I will pulling out that nice new purse I had bought for my last job interview...

5:56 pm

because of course, the purse makes the outfit...

5:56 pm

I play piano with the Community Orchestra. It is kind of a wonderful group of true amatures.

5:56 pm

And they always say "Oh let's hire her, she has such a great purse!" : D

5:56 pm

definitely!

5:57 pm

Yes. It is well-known that many people are hired for the purse they tuck under the table during the interview.

5:57 pm

yw phan.you'll do good girl!! :) i worked in care homes when i was 20 after working in a psychiatric hospital.it's hard work but i loved it

5:57 pm

See, Gran Mere knows : )

5:58 pm

So, now this grid. Hmm.

5:58 pm

I really have enjoyed my older patients. And I have been wanting to work in my own community

6:00 pm

i don't know arpeggios either gmere. my mam would know, she's the one with musical talent.she trained to be an oper singer but then married my dad.she backed cliff richard on one of his records, i can't remember which one.i hope all goes well for you and i'm sure it will gmere.have fun!! :)

6:01 pm

You would know it if you heard it lilliann. Meanwhile, I shll endeavor to become fluent.

6:02 pm

i'm sure you will gmere and good luck!

6:16 pm

fireworks!

6:16 pm

Yay, Jen! 7 more for me.

6:16 pm

go scrabs go!

6:17 pm

6:19 pm

6:20 pm

6:20 pm

6:25 pm

wb phan, done your jobs?

6:26 pm

Hi phan!!

6:26 pm

no, I ate dinner, and am drinking wine... Though I did feed the animals...

6:27 pm

sl5 word is new to me, one i'm sure to forget as normal

6:27 pm

hi jilly and phan!

6:27 pm

well, feeding the animals counts as a chore.did you cook the food?

6:28 pm

absolutely not!

6:28 pm

Hi, Jen.

6:28 pm

Like I continually forget lo5/10 (first one)

6:28 pm

hallo all - 39 left, and about ready to list

6:29 pm

I always forget that one as well, Jill

6:29 pm

me too jill

6:29 pm

hi harry :)

6:30 pm

hi lil

6:30 pm

do you cook phan?

6:30 pm

that one I remember from my greoundwater consulting days

6:31 pm

No, i don't. My husband does.

6:31 pm

there are words here that i do remember which surprises me as i've never used them in speech but i suppose we're all like that with certain words

6:32 pm

I've never seen a chat board with so many women who have husbands who cook.

6:32 pm

i gathered that after your response....lol is he a good cook..well, i suppose anyone that cooks for you would be :) do you not like cooking phan or just don't think you're any good

6:32 pm

I just cooked a fritatta for dinner

6:33 pm

I don't mind cooking that much, but why cook if someone else will do it for you?

6:34 pm

i like fritatta's harry.i like smoked back bacon, without the fat,mushrooms and the green leaf veg...i can't think what it's called...memory block!!

6:34 pm

It is a balmy 1 degree here...chicken noodle soup on stove as we speak

6:35 pm

Molly, to reduce your angst, my hubby does NOT cook...

6:35 pm

exactly phan and if he's happy to do it then hey why not. my husband's a good cook. when he's home i let him do most of it seeing as he gets good food(mostly) in hotels/restaurants majority of the year

6:35 pm

it says it's 39 degrees F. here.

6:36 pm

positively balmy phand!

6:36 pm

*remembered...spinach

6:36 pm

sounds lovely jilly

6:36 pm

exactly, Lili. The problem is, he spoils me so much, I am going to be in a world of hurt if we don't die together...

6:37 pm

Oh I have no angst, I think these women have the right idea. Sit down, with a drink and play Babble while someone cooks for you. Cha-ching!

6:38 pm

LOL...does mine doing laundry while I babble count?

6:38 pm

there is never too much spoiling!

6:38 pm

You are very lucky Phan. "He spoils me" are three words I rarely hear women speak.

6:39 pm

that's right, Molly! And yes, Jilly, that does count

6:39 pm

yes jilly :)

6:39 pm

I feel very blessed and am so thankful. I have so many friends that have not good relationships with their husbands and it hurts my heart.

6:39 pm

when mine is here, he does laundry, cooking, ironing and washing up!!:)

6:39 pm

Molly, I want to apologize to you for not being very nice to you last year. Against my better judgment, I let someone else "influence" my opinion and that was a big mistake, especially since I've discovered that person is not a good barometer of character. Won't give the name, but just know that for quite some time I've appreciated many things you have to say and all the help you're willing to provide to everyone. I just wanted to "publicly" apologize and tell you I missed you when you were gone and glad you're back.

6:40 pm

he's just not good at cleaning or hoovering but will do it if i ask

6:40 pm

Thanks Mimi, that's very nice of you.

6:40 pm

Since he retired he picks up a lot of housework. I have learned not to criticise his efforts...and we have a longstanding agreement of I cook, he cleans

6:40 pm

sweet, Lili.

6:41 pm

wow MimiCat that is so gracious and nice

6:41 pm

I missed you too Molly, I missed your wooty comments...posting my FW compliments are just not the same

6:41 pm

You are a wise woman, Jilly. And agreements are good. I clean after dinner too. (well, mostly)

6:41 pm

i ditto lil's words mimi

6:41 pm

Just want to be fair. We all make mistakes.

6:41 pm

Thanks so nice of you Mimi!

6:42 pm

Thats!

6:42 pm

thats

6:43 pm

so we do and if only more here would do or be the same then babble would be babblehappy land!!(or maybe not)

6:43 pm

I agree, and it takes a big person to humble themselves and admit they were wrong.

6:44 pm

New word, so6/18 (second) it defines Mimi..strong and gracious

6:44 pm

great clue Jilly

6:45 pm

hi robbie

6:45 pm

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Now if only I was smart enough to figure out Jilly's clue!

6:46 pm

6:54 pm

Also the idea for "jumpsuits" from years ago......oh, Mimi, just shut up and go!!!
