12:59 am

tried to think of something cleverly international to say and came up with "lol yup"

st 9 st 7 past tense

1:00 am

st9

1:00 am

st5, 7, 9

1:00 am

lol yup works fine with me - could've been much worse!!

1:05 am

oh oh, red boxes

1:05 am

oh oh, red boxes

1:05 am

oh oh, red boxes

1:06 am

darned red boxes! somebody once said that the weather affects the server. Is that true?

1:07 am

don't know, it's been going on for quite a while now

1:07 am

grrrr red boxes again

1:08 am

yea I know. I was only thinking that if the weather was a predominant factor in the problems then surely it would be better to move the server somewhere where the weather is a little less temperamental

1:09 am

could someone throw a hint towards the 9?

1:09 am

morning diz xxxx

awwww ty

1:49 am

yw

1:49 am

how are the veggies doing/

1:50 am

very well. I haven't managed to kill any yet, although my tomato plants are extremely lame. I grew them from seed and now they have stopped growing, so I'm going to cheat and buy a couple of bigger already grown-on plants

1:50 am

May I please have a clue for sa7-44? Thannks

1:51 am

peach, sa7/8 are the extras on lickety's list

looking for the same one... TY ROSE!!!!

1:52 am

Oh, thanks much, Rose.

1:52 am

tomatoes need loads of water. I looked after a tomato plant for neighbours one summer - seemed continually thirsty

1:53 am

i water them every day - once they're big enough twice a day, but they are only about 8 inches tall and have been for about a month now so I don't think any more will develop from them sadly. But although I'm going to buy bigger plants I won't dispose of the lesser ones - even if they don't amount to anything I can't stand the thought of killing them!!!!

1:54 am

i don't underst5 it, dee. both words are on lickety, and both words are in enable, but the grid disallows them. very weird.

1:54 am

they might be late developers?

1:54 am

it has happened before, rose

fireworks

1:54 am

congrats Dee

1:54 am

wtg Dee

1:54 am

WTG DEE!!!!

1:54 am

I think I probably just didn't leave them indoors long enough to mature first. Still, like you say, they may be late shooters!

1:54 am

Congrats, Dee!!!!!

ty, rose, I would have looked forever

1:55 am

wtg Dee xxxxxx

2:46 am

hey, worzel, don went down to the dealers today, and actually took a moto guzzi for a test ride.

2:48 am

brb, don home with the shopping

2:48 am

nice machine, bit expensive though. My uncle Sid used to have an extremely early model he bought in the 1920s and when he died at 104 he was still riding it - some 80 years or so after purchasing it - mad old bugger, at his age!

3:00 am

May I please have a clue for re11-96? Thanks

3:01 am

umm .. there's an re 11 ?

3:01 am

o_0

3:02 am

to say or plead in protest - first three letters are dream sleep letters and it's quite easy to monkey from there!

3:03 am

re & lower part of ladys abdomen **** veneris, & abbreviation for saint (2 letters) & water speed for boats **** of knots

3:03 am

phew! hope that helped

3:03 am

there's an extra letter in that hideous clue I just gave, but you should still be able to get it lol

3:04 am

ummm ...

3:05 am

re11, re + scottish man + abbreviation for another word for road + speed

3:06 am

ok 1st 3 letters are same as dream sleep, next 3 letters thinks opposite of offs, next three letters think beegees song ***gedy, then add last 2 letters lol. I'm crap at clueing ain't i?

3:06 am

and i am back. shopping all put away.

3:07 am

lol

3:07 am

I'm so confused .. Scottish men and bee gees .. lol

3:08 am

agzam, stop **a*ing, whining

3:08 am

lmao!

3:08 am

brb

3:09 am

agzam, don't you know the scottish word for man?

3:09 am

I don't either.....LOL

3:10 am

3:10 am

Please.....thanks

3:10 am

3:11 am

re11, re* sleep, when dreams occur + not offs + *** la la, singing + coffee or **a, beverage

3:11 am

Thanks much, Dianne and Rose.

3:12 am

glad you got it.

3:13 am

I'm down to 70 and will come back later in the day. Thanks for all the help.....Blessings.

3:13 am

yay, peach. nicely done

3:33 am

good morning all

3:36 am

or none

3:42 am

and back. {{sprite}} sorry i wasn't here to greet you. how are you today? any improvement?

3:43 am

hello my darling rose :) Glad to see you. No, seem to have a tad of the flu or a bad cold. And dreaming rather horribly.

3:44 am

how are you today?

3:44 am

yuck!! you poor darling.

3:44 am

haven't pulled up to badly, dear. had hydro this AM, and doing okay, really.

3:45 am

oh and no sorry needed, lol. Real life comes first.

3:45 am

sounds pretty good, rose. As long as you can recuperate from what you do in a limited amount of time, things are definitely improving.

3:46 am

are you able to rest today?

3:47 am

I think so, yes, rose. Nothing much planned and my love has a day off from work. A bit of laundry, I think, and maybe a bit of cleaning.

3:48 am

just whisk the cloth around, that'll be quite enough, i am sure. what has he planned for the day?

3:48 am

more carpentry I think. He is making a.... rack (?) for Caya to hang up her guitars.

3:50 am

ahhh, interesting. i hope caya is appreciative. just pace yourself, dear * said the pot to the kettle*

3:50 am

*giggles*

3:51 am

I didn't get dressed yet, am sitting in my morning coat. If I feel up to it, am gonna take a shower after babble.

3:52 am

a shower might help the breathing, moist air, steam....

3:53 am

yes. And somehow it makes me feel cleaner ;)

3:53 am

oh that's just a side-effect. gotta watch those side-effects.

3:53 am

lololol

3:54 am

okay, parcel....company said it would resend on your tuesday.

3:54 am

I hope it will all go well this time, rose.

3:56 am

if it doesn't we find another supplier, and give this one the thumbs down. we checked, we definitely got tha addy exactly as you wrote it. and i should think you know where you live....unless you were having a bad hair day...in that case....IT'S NOT MY FAULT!!!

3:57 am

roflollllll want me to resend you the addy?

3:58 am

no thanx. have your original email still.

3:59 am

good :D

3:59 am

are you liking this grid? i was surprised at how quickly i found words. guess i must be becoming an 'old' hand at it.

4:02 am

lol yes, some grids are like that. So far so good, I even found a couple of 8s. And past the halfway point too.

4:02 am

good, i just noticed i made you laugh or at least smile twice. * sigh * my job is done.

4:03 am

love you, ros

4:03 am

well done, sprite. oh, and don went to the dealer and test rode the moto guzzi today.

4:03 am

rose*

4:03 am

how did it go?

4:03 am

*smiling lovingly at sprite* love you too, sweetheart

4:04 am

he picks up the new bike next friday. we are gonna have us an eyetalian motor-bike. whee!!!

4:05 am

wooooot so he loved it :) Am glad. You are gonna feel so liberated once you can go on outings again!

4:06 am

roflol, don just suggested we have broccoli +++ for dinner. he read the look on my face, and said, okay broccoli in my right ear, broccoli in my left ear, and i don't want to think about where you are going to put the rest of it.

4:07 am

roflololllllllll

4:07 am

humph!!! i have now ordered, chips, corn on the cob, carrots and.....SOME broccoli

4:08 am

yeah. Much more options with carrots and corn. Careful with the chips though.

4:09 am

oh, sprite, you are so gonna love my man, as i am gonna love yours. we are so alike, i am thinking the man in our life is probably very similar, too.

4:10 am

it definitely sounds like it, rose. A sense of humour always at the ready, a warm heart and basically an outdoor guy.

4:23 am

was that a squirrel, was the dinner ready right away, did you go for meds, or did you fall asleep on the keyboard?

4:24 am

hello and bye, the Sicilian is bringing us some minestrone for lunch. We are giving him the huge barbeque which we no longer use. Fair trade, I think....lol

4:24 am

sounds good, ruby. Hi and bye.

4:27 am

roflol, all of the below...sorry, was watching the news.

4:27 am

fireflies. Bye all :)

4:27 am

awww, i missed ruby...darn...

4:27 am

WTG SPRITE!!! told you it was a nice grid. now you take it easy, my friend, you hear me?

4:28 am

no, waiting for a woof to signal my friend's arrival

4:28 am

and woof to you,Rosie!

4:28 am

xoxox, sprite. i hope your day is kind to you.

4:28 am

woof!!! ruby. xoxox

4:30 am

ruby, it feels very strange. we celebrate Mother's Day this sunday, and neither of us, don or i, have a mother anymore. guess i am going to the cemetery.

4:42 am

okay, time for me to go. dinner ready. i hope you all enjoy this grid, and i hope your days/nights are kind to you. xoxox

5:50 am

good morning everyone:)

5:54 am

Monday morning, a nice big grid.. right on schedule after two tiny ones on the weekend :(

5:55 am

Hi Crossy. Somehow I am slowing down and I am not quite halfway. Do you have a class today?

5:55 am

yes, I do, Scrabby. YThis is the last week of English with a big exam this Friday.

5:56 am

{{crossy}] {{scrabs}}

5:56 am

Will you take more classes before the fall semester?

5:56 am

I have one more after this one. It is a law class

5:57 am

6 weeks

5:57 am

Interesting.

5:57 am

I will actually miss English lit. had almost 19 weeks of it in a row

5:58 am

What were your favorite books?

5:58 am

I admire your ambition, crossy, I can't imagine starting more school

5:59 am

out of the required reading? They would be The Old Man and the sea and Of Mice and Men

5:59 am

Hi Ruby and pups.

5:59 am

(( ruby))

6:00 am

It is finally sunny and the crazy wind has died down.

6:00 am

you should try it , ruby. It is great fun busting the grading curve on all those lazy 19-25 year olds:)

6:00 am

No tornados (thanks God) ut a mess, anyway

6:01 am

only problem with doing that is you get stuck with a lot of peer editing.

6:03 am

they all laugh now when I bring out my editing kit( yellow highlighter and three sharp pencils) I call my highlighter "mellow yellow" and none of the kids get the joke:)

6:03 am

And you are probably amazed with the poor spelling and grammar of your young classmates.

6:04 am

scrabby, I do not know how they got as far as they did in high school.

6:04 am

bring in the record!

6:04 am

first I have to tell half of them what a "record" is

6:05 am

Are you both too young to have learned to parse sentences? The young ones probably don't even know what parse means, unless it's attached to something green and curly

6:05 am

and there are at least two that I know of who can only tell time on a digital readout. They are cofused by a clock with hands and a face

6:06 am

confused

6:06 am

that is awful! And I'm sure they never learned the times tables

6:07 am

No Child Left Behind = kids get moved on to the next grade when they are not ready

6:08 am

they no longer teach it that way ruby

6:08 am

re parsing

6:09 am

and memorizing poems.

6:09 am

yes, scrabby. they just ram them through and they end up in learning centres

6:09 am

They were so deeply embedded that I still remember most of them, all these years later

6:09 am

and they also avoid rote memorization learning methods

6:10 am

don't they realize that rote learning helps increase the number of synapses in the brain?

6:11 am

and contrary to what you may believe, about half of the 18-25 year old males have very little skill with computers

6:11 am

that surprises me, but I guess you have to know how to read to use a computer...

6:11 am

and about 90% of them smoke, pregnant or not. It drives me crazy

6:12 am

So sad.

6:12 am

that is all terrible, crossy

6:13 am

the pregnancy rate is just insane, scrabby. If I have to hazard a guess, I would say 8 out of every 10 girls there 18-22 are pregnant

6:13 am

seems like a new babby is coming every other day now

6:13 am

not enough TV channels?

6:13 am

no birth control info?

6:13 am

guess not

6:14 am

We see that in our office far too often. Our theory = once the girls lose their identity of being a student or having a career they see their next identity as being a mother.

6:14 am

those smoking, pregnant, computer illiterate, 18-25 year old males are a plague :)

6:14 am

well, the males are not pregnant, bonkler..lol

6:14 am

but I will clarify for you:)

6:14 am

And far too many young women are attracted to those bad boys.

6:16 am

what really blows my mind, scrabby, is they say that the doctors tell the heavy smokers to keep smoking now during pregnancy to "avoid stressing" the baby

6:16 am

just sounds wrong

6:16 am

Ugh! Smoking decreases blood flow through placenta to the fetus.

6:17 am

I mean that is why we had all those preemies in the 60,s. all our mums smoked like fiends

6:17 am

I must get ready for work. ENjoy the day, kids.

6:17 am

There was an article in today's paper (probably from the NYT) that they are finally finding carcinogens in e-cigs. Of course, they don't yet know the long-term effects.....

6:17 am

tc scrabby

6:18 am

bye scrabs

6:18 am

will not be long before the surgeon general puts his warning on those as well, ruby

6:21 am

I'd like to know how teens can even afford cigs these days. Do they work?

6:24 am

living at home, they work a part time job and have no bills.

6:25 am

they save nothing

6:25 am

I wonder if the parents contribute

6:26 am

my sons friend works part time at a coffee shop, lives and home, contributes nothing and has 3k in cash on him all the time. it is insane

6:26 am

that souds all wrong

6:26 am

though his mum and dad are ready to toss the little bugger to the curb

6:28 am

the kids spend $800.00 on an I-phone 5 and think nothing of it. Mind boggling.

6:28 am

I;m glad my son is grown and there are no grandchildren to worry about

6:29 am

my son got a 2 year old I-phone 4s for 45 dollars. I like to think his mum and I taught him the value of a dollar

6:30 am

crossy, I need for you to yell at me to get at my paperwork! Be stern; call me lazy bones or whatever!

6:30 am

brand new and still in the box, but 45 vs 800 dollars is a good thing any day

6:30 am

naughty ruby!!

6:31 am

Sounds like you did a good job with him, crossy

6:31 am

Hoot (as many men already know) I am a very cheap date : D

8:57 am

Traaaaaaamp!

8:58 am

Sling away Judi. I proudly wear a t-shirt that says TART on it : P

8:58 am

What does that have to do with it? It's a domestic ale and very tasty. I used to brew my own Bock!

8:58 am

Hee hee! And that t-shirt gets you into the PB for free!

8:59 am

lolol

8:59 am

It gets me a lot of other things for free too

No fair Judi - you tricked her! :D

10:06 am

10:07 am

to heck with going; they are going to have to pin me down and take me by force

10:07 am

Mr. Bluebird's on my shoulder...

10:09 am

10:09 am

howdy, flosey

10:09 am

indeed, crossy

10:10 am

morning, flosey

10:10 am

Apparently we are all familiar with "Song Of The South" : D

10:11 am

Is that true, crossy? If everything is eventual, does that mean that one day I will finish a grid without a lurk or list or more-word?

10:11 am

ah Molly, we Canucks are not that far north that we don't hear them all

10:11 am

eventually;))

10:12 am

good answer, crossy

10:12 am

oh, yeah. We used to sing that in school

10:12 am

oh. well, I guess that means I can't quit playing yet.

10:12 am

10:14 am

i'm at the Honda dealarship -- good news -- my car might be able to pass emissions today. Here's hoping.

10:14 am

yaa1 those emission tests drive me crazy

10:14 am

*fingers crossed* for dc

10:14 am

Love to stay 'n play -- but I've done my night shift and headed for bed. Have fun, y'all.

10:15 am

tc jwr

10:15 am

my car is 13 years old, and it now has a new catalytic converter, and likly new O2 sensors soon.

10:15 am

sweet dreams, jwr

10:15 am

goodnight jwr

10:15 am

u 2

10:15 am

rest well jwr, and travel safely.

10:15 am

poooood

10:15 am

that is why i traded in my 9 year old echo. the emission testing was nickle and diming me to death

10:15 am

I mean poooooF (the poo comes later)

10:16 am

better just to use all the money on a new car

10:16 am

it's not that expensive. :)

10:17 am

i was looking at an etire new muffler system including catalytic, there was a pinhole leak in the filler pipe, then the o2 sensor, then it was due for new tires, and on and on and on

10:18 am

And it's the first time in the decade i've owned it i've needed emissions repairs.

10:18 am

was up over 3 k before i knew it

10:18 am

My 28-year old Honda CRX is still doing great and passing tests...touch wood...

10:18 am

you are doing well with that one,erda

10:18 am

I had a 15 year old car that I lost to SuperStorm Sandy and I never had those problems

10:18 am

Exactly, Erda. My CRV is at about 237k miles, so far so good.

10:19 am

annie, i hope that's all you lost. That hit so hard.

10:19 am

I never had an emissions problem with my former Hyundai and it was 12 years old when I replaced it.

10:19 am

157 on my CRV, love it

10:21 am

I lost the car but I had to evacuate for 3 weeks. I went to my daughter in CT and she lost all her power so we wound up at her mil's house. Five days later we were back at Liz's and stayed another 2 weeks. Now I am losing my parking spot in the parking lot (I live in a co-op due to Sandy. New electrical substation have to be built) Nasty.

10:21 am

My uncle has my grandfather's 1982 accord. It now has about 1.2 million miles on it, and still running well.

10:22 am

Oh no Annie. Will you have to park on the street?

10:22 am

anawaltgal, just read your bio - I too love to visit my old valley where I lived until I was 13, walking down that hill in autumn, all the beautiful red sugar maples, love that memory

10:22 am

Yes, and it is a horrible situation. Especially if I have to go get Bobby if he gets sick.

10:23 am

sigh. how will they now allocate the reduced number of spaces?

10:23 am

Seain, same engine in that Accord?

10:23 am

tks flosey

10:23 am

dc, They wont. It will be an unholy mess.

10:24 am

I leased a Honda Civic and I am happy with the car.

10:24 am

Molly, yes. Engine replaces every 500k miles usually.

10:29 am

Ra6.21 is a town near here in West Virginia, not far from Harpers Ferry.

10:31 am

Annie, that is awful. I can't imagine relying on street parking in New York.

10:33 am

Molly, It will be awful. I live near the ocean and summertime, forget it. I will go from alternate side of the street parking to the other. Or take my car to my daughter and leave it there for the long time it will take. This has really upset me.

10:35 am

i have a friend at W 96th and Westside. She parks in CT and takes Metro North home, and goes to the car when she needs it. Your life may not support that arrangement, of course.

10:36 am

dc, It boggles the mind. Manhattan is worse than Brooklyn.

10:36 am

Lord save me forever from having to deal with city parking nightmares :(

10:39 am

yes, parking in Manhattan is difficult, but she inherited a LOVELY rent-controlled penthouse apartment in a private elevator building.

10:40 am

very nice;)

10:40 am

dc, sounds heavenly. Then her parking dilemma is worth the hassle.

10:41 am

It is! She has 15 foot ceilings, 10 rooms, and 5 fireplaces for about 800/month. And lovely views across the Hudson.

10:41 am

Hi folks

10:41 am

m

10:42 am

hi, bichon

10:42 am

Hi Bich. Jack is back tonight : D

10:42 am

hi seain

10:42 am

dc, That is unbelievable. Lucky her. Living in Manhattan is a joy...I was brought up in NY, now I cannot afford to live there. She pay practically nothing re: Manhattan rents.

10:42 am

I was going to mention that to you. Highly anticipating it

10:43 am

hi bichon

10:43 am

hi Annie

10:43 am

You can't get that kind of living space ANYWHERE for 800 a month. Wow.

10:43 am

Yes, she got really lucky with the heritable lease.

10:44 am

Anywhere is correct.

10:44 am

Her aunt had been paying only 650/mo. Her rent froze in 1965. They increased it as much as they could when my friend got the place.

10:44 am

People are paying thousands for tiny one room apartments in New York.

10:45 am

yes they are. :/

10:45 am

To think I was actually sad when we left Manhattan in '72.

10:45 am

I had no idea that rent control still existed.

10:45 am

My friends son pay $3000. for a 2 bedroom in Soho.

10:46 am

He can afford it. thank goodness.

10:46 am

my father just moved from brooklyn. we had the apt for 50 ye**s. It was 1200 sq., on Prospect Park Circle. Only 1200 a month. My friends here almost fell out. 1200 here would buy a really nice house.

10:46 am

1200 is very reasonable by DC standards, as well as NYC ones.

10:46 am

well, almost finished gardening the side. Found my normal 1 snake.

10:47 am

now the apt goes for 4500 per month

10:47 am

what kind of snake?

10:47 am

sue, how many bedrooms in your Dad's apartment?

10:47 am

dont know, beheaded it. it was a beautiful brown. We have Copperheads here so I didnt take chances.

10:48 am

good to be safe, indeed, suefrad

10:49 am

it had 4 bd, dining area, living room, two baths, kitchen and two forty foot hallways.

10:49 am

nice.

10:51 am

very nice.

10:53 am

In my opinion, the price of real estate in some areas is insane.

10:55 am

In my subdivision in Northern Virginia, prices range from about 400k to about 1.4 million.

shtups is not a word?

10:55 am

Again, insane.

10:55 am

I think it's schtup

10:56 am

Kap, LOL, I tried that also.

10:56 am

That's just a little too fresh Kaplan

:)

too ra5.

10:56 am

Yeah Kap. Don't go being fresh. That's my job. : D

Oh, OK.

10:58 am

so now i'm waiting on an O2 sensor to arrive. Then, i will pass emissions they tell me. So emissions and recharge the AC. A bit more than i thought i'd spend, but yay! And if i still have the car 4 years from now, i'll no longer need emissions.

10:58 am

Just kidding : D I always prefer more fresh and less boring

11:09 am

what is that in Yiddish.. sex?

11:12 am

Yes, and not a particularly nice way of saying it, if you know what I mean.

11:14 am

oh

11:15 am

is that where schtupid comes from?

11:16 am

good morning, all :)

11:16 am

good morning nan..

11:17 am

we are having dirty Yiddish lessons today

11:17 am

So many places to go with schtupid, but it seems I have already killed the chat so...how's your dog?

11:18 am

we had to let her go Saturday.. a really bad day for mrs ru and me

11:19 am

morning, nan and ruru

11:19 am

oh, sorry for yall's loss, ruru

11:19 am

thanks DC..

11:21 am

Sorry Ru, I didn't know it had gotten that bad.

11:23 am

yeah.. that's unfortunately how it goes with older dogs.. everything is fine and improving, and then they go south.. she was too great a dog to let her suffer, which would have happened soon. She went peacefully. I've been a wreck all weekend

11:23 am

oh, ru, so very sorry -- see my profile -- My mom's dog passed Sunday :-(

11:26 am

thanks une...

11:27 am

virtual hugs to you and Mrs. Ru

11:27 am

thanks.. rough times

11:28 am

those two loved each other beyond the beyond..

11:28 am

2:00 pm

Hopefully your Babble deductible will cover it.

2:01 pm

it would be terrible if that didnt happen wouldnt it?

2:04 pm

Speaking of Sn5/10 - my husband has been banished to the couch until he gets his tonsils, etc. removed. It's like sleeping next to a rampaging warthog.

2:05 pm

I've seen some men who look like rampaging warthogs.

2:06 pm

ROTFLMAO Is that what doctor's told him t o so he wouldnt do that anymore?

2:07 pm

Yes, MLF. He saw a ear/nose/throat MD a few years ago because I told him he had apnea. Sleep clinic confirmed. Doc told him he needs his tonsils, adenoids and uvula removed to remedy the whole sn5ing and apnea. He's a big baby about it.

2:07 pm

Doc says he'll have a really sore throat for two weeks. Wah wah wah.

2:08 pm

WOW How long in the hospital?

2:08 pm

One of my kids has a bifidu uvula. He calls it a double dingy.

2:09 pm

It's only a one-day, in and out surgery. Then a diet of ice cream and pudding for two weeks.

2:09 pm

my hubby and snore but nt sur about any sleeping disorders but i think hubby snores worse then i do

2:09 pm

Or bifid

2:09 pm

Hi, all...six words left.

2:09 pm

bifidu?

2:09 pm

hi...

2:09 pm

hi angel

2:09 pm

bifidu??

2:10 pm

Molly is speaking in tongues!

2:10 pm

Easy folks, I corrected it.

2:10 pm

i think se means bifida

2:11 pm

Uvula...what hangs down the bad of your throat. Bifid uvula is one that is forked in two.

2:11 pm

Never heard of that one.

2:11 pm

learn something every day.... ;o)

2:11 pm

Or the back of your throat.

2:11 pm

Forked uvula! Wild. Does he have cloven hooves too?

2:12 pm

sounds kinda evil....

2:12 pm

in the throat?

2:12 pm

At times Judi.

2:12 pm

LOL!

2:12 pm

Look it up, it shows a picture. Nothing like having a pediatrician look down your kids throat and say "Oh, he has a bifid uvula"

2:13 pm

Judi- couldn't he just use a cpap machine?

2:13 pm

This child was 11 pounds at birth, I should have seen it coming.

2:14 pm

i have heard of it just didnt know what it was

2:14 pm

The surgery is a more reliable fix. Although, I've heard of some people who've needed the CPAP after the surgery. Let's not talk about that.

2:14 pm

my bro has spina bifida occulta i have spina bifida

2:14 pm

That sounds like a lot of swollen material for a CPAP to deal with.

2:15 pm

Can't remember what spina bifida is. Is that where you are born with a portion of your spine exposed?

2:15 pm

how old is your chil with it Molly?

2:16 pm

yes judi and curvature

2:16 pm

Also, I know people who have used a CPAP and not had good results and had to opt for the surgery anyway.

2:16 pm

MLF, my kid does not have spina bifida.

2:17 pm

In my opinion, the CPAP is a ridiculous contraption that causes more sleep problems than it helps.

2:17 pm

I agree Judi

2:17 pm

i know molly:)

2:18 pm

Well then why did you ask me how old my child with it is? I don't understand.

2:18 pm

i know two people who swear by their CPAP machines....never knwe a good night's sleep until they had the machines...

2:18 pm

with the bifida:)

2:18 pm

Hubby is sulking now. He says he going to record me snoring. I say fine, go ahead. I had my tonsils and adenoids out when I was 3. *sticks tongue out*

2:18 pm

haha Judi

2:19 pm

i wonder if caffeine makes us snore worse?

2:19 pm

And, I don't stop breathing when I sleep/snore.

2:19 pm

i had my tonsils out when i was a kid, but i have mild apnea....88% of the time, it occurs when I am sleeping on my back...

2:20 pm

and no sleep disorder either for you right judi?

2:20 pm

I think apnea is more tongue/soft pallet related.

2:20 pm

No sleep disorder for me. zzzzzzzzzzz

2:20 pm

with me, it's a large tongue and a narrow airway...

2:21 pm

Bet you can hurl a mean spitball, penquis!

2:21 pm

Judi your hubby mut be seriously unhappy with you right now lol

2:21 pm

lol....

2:22 pm

fireworks here

2:22 pm

congrats!

2:23 pm

Oh, he's fairly resigned to the situation. I've put up with his snoring getting worse and worse. It's ultimatum time. However, to make him feel better, I told him I was going to schedule my first colonoscopy this summer.

2:23 pm

i have had 3 in the last ten years...

2:24 pm

that is so nice of you judi i hope you are ok

2:24 pm

Ugh! That's way over the quota, penquis.

2:25 pm

Well, I turn 50 this summer, so... might as well get it over with.

2:25 pm

polyps....better to get them out than to let them become cancerous...

2:25 pm

Go to a sleep clinic. They tell everyone they have sleep apnea.

2:25 pm

pen but so far so good?

2:25 pm

i watched mine.....like watching CSI.... ;o)

2:25 pm

yes, fine, thanks, MLF....

2:25 pm

i am a poster child for colonoscopies....

2:26 pm

*covers eyes* I'll sleep through mine, thank you.

2:26 pm

Oh that is SUCH a bad image

2:26 pm

i dont want to be diagnose with that moll i would never wear that mask

2:26 pm

lolol....

2:26 pm

you watch it

2:26 pm

hi everyone - back for the last 3

2:26 pm

the doc gave me color photos....;o)

2:27 pm

first ra 6/21, please?

2:27 pm

Oh really? Did you share them on Facebook?

2:27 pm

Oh, what a treat. I hope you posted them to Facebook (NOT!)

2:27 pm

pen so not nice

2:27 pm

i thought it was interesting...

2:27 pm

Judi and I are sharing the same sick brain today

2:28 pm

nan....the ra**** of red chief....o'henry

2:28 pm

LOL, Molls! Freak!

2:28 pm

yeah i've got an unusually large uvula.. cpap works great for me.. i continually consider the surgury though.. would be so much easier.. scared of the surgery though.. lol

2:28 pm

don't know if that is the first...

2:28 pm

agreed judi

2:29 pm

sleeping on my back most of the time has helped a lot....so i did not try the machine...

2:29 pm

pen i dont know any ohenry

2:29 pm

Wonder why humans have uvulas (uvulae?). It's just a dangly bit of skin. Just so you can make noise when you gargle?

2:29 pm

have 48 left and have hit a brick wall...

2:29 pm

have 48 left and have hit a brick wall...

2:29 pm

MLF...what kidnappers want....

2:30 pm

i have no ideas.. i think it is an intentional thing to be a pain in the a**.. the uvula that is..

2:30 pm

ty pen that made more sense

2:30 pm

Yes Judi, and so old men can make that hagd noise when they spit

2:30 pm

*ack* *ack* Hate that noise.

2:31 pm

Pen, seriously? Your colon pictures were interesting? : O

2:31 pm

yes...i thought so....watching it was interesting too....came with doc's commentary...

2:32 pm

Holy Fantastic Journey, Batman!

2:33 pm

Pfft...I am in tears laughing about a doctors commentary about the journey up your....

2:33 pm

first ra 6/21, please?

2:33 pm

lol....he explained what was normal, what wasn't....how he lassoed the polyps....

2:34 pm

Oh, a cowboy doctor. Giddyap!

2:34 pm

is that what kidnappers want?...dk if that is the first ra 6

2:34 pm

Note: please file under "things best not seen".

2:34 pm

the nurse is always standing by to add more sedative if i need it.... ;o)

2:35 pm

I figured the doc would just inject some gnomes to harvest the polyps (like mushrooms).

2:35 pm

cyber i dont know what the first one is but the one pn just mentioned a clue fori is the only one i have found so far

2:35 pm

heh heh....

2:35 pm

Seriously...me...getting colonoscopy...want a video with commentary? Hell no.

2:36 pm

Then you would have... polygnomials.

2:36 pm

lolol....

2:36 pm

my husband and dad had them

2:36 pm

Where's Ruru? I am particularly proud of that pun.

2:37 pm

my mother had them, too....

2:37 pm

And by the way Judi. You get your throat excavated and I'll get my colon probed is a weird marital deal.

2:37 pm

my bro's boss had his first colonoscopy at 51 -- at his insistence; doc didn't think it was necessary -- and he found that he had colon cancer....

2:38 pm

no, the ra 6 that pen clued is the 3rd 6/21

2:38 pm

lol, molly...

2:38 pm

sorry...then i don't have it yet...

2:38 pm

Polyps are quite common. Fortunately, it no longer takes major surgery to remove them. Smile for the camera and snip snip.

2:39 pm

yes, the worst thing is the prep for the procedure...

2:39 pm

I just figured an anal probing trumps a sore throat any day.

2:40 pm

Okay, that makes sense. You do have to "one up" them when they are babies.

2:41 pm

My thoughts exactly.

2:41 pm

got it - ra + aussie friend

Ladies! I probably mentioned it before, but, please.. Take an hour out of your lives to watch Luther on Netflix. Edris Elba, an absolutely sublime specimen of manliness, stars in this really watchable Cops n Robbers show from the BBC. You WILL thank me.

3:31 pm

sublime specimen....hmmmmm

Oh, Jaxx. He IS a babe. (I'm alarming myself at how much I sound like my 19 year old). But, I feel duty bound to share my 'find' with fellow Babblers. :-p

3:35 pm

Peri, I don't watch Resurrection.

How are you? Have not kept up very well with our dear friends to the north.

7:41 pm

Hello again *places fresh picked roasted asparagus in PB*

7:41 pm

I am better now. Spent last week in Edmonton seeing a son. It was warmer there than here until the last day when it snowed.

7:41 pm

Hi Jilli

7:42 pm

Oh, thank you for the asparagus. Have not had any yet this season. I have chicken in the oven roasting while I Babble. I made a cheesecake this afternoon as we have not had a real dessert for several weeks.

7:42 pm

How nice you got to the mainland for an outing, Bugs.

7:43 pm

*drooling thinking of cheesecake*

7:43 pm

cheesecake is SO good

7:43 pm

Do you think we could drive like crazy east/west and get our meal together in a few hours' time?

7:44 pm

North/south/ea**/west. That would be more equitable!!

7:44 pm

7:45 pm
