morning all :)
Hi there, sprite.
hi peach :) How are you doing?
Doing OK, hun. And you?
erant
am ok too. Bit fluish and a bit sad, got bad news about a friend of mine. But otherwise ok. Thinking this grid has a bite.
Morning Sprite
greetings friends
hi pugs *hugs* Thanks for your sweet card :) How are you today?
Sorry about your friend....pray for him or her....it works. This grid....ugh!
Hi there, puglet
will continu to pray for her, peach :)
Iam okay
errs
sorry
good word to er* with
been having trouble with the chat and red boxes
oh yuck. Let's hope it is over now.
I hope so too
How's the weather in Indiana, pug?
I got out my bike yesterday and rode it down the road for a bit and now my knees are sore
ouch pugs. Wtg on getting the bike out, but please give yourself time to get used to it again? As in very small distances at first?
we are to have 8+ temps today and tomorrow :)
It has turned hot here. Didn't have much springtime.
well its only to last until tomorrow and then drop back down and rain/storms coming in
does the heat make you feel better Peach
The heat does, but not the humidity that will be here very soon.
if our road didnt have such upgrades the bike riding would go alot easier---downhill and the flat areas are fine its going up hill thats a bummer
Oh, no, puglet. Not more storms!
yes. Try walking uphill for now, pug. Up an incline is very very taxing for your knees if you are on a bike.
thats what the map was showing yesterday for us--rain and storms over the week-end
cooee and g'day from me
lol--I have to Sprite or lay on the side of the road from exhaustion--lol
Hi and Hugs Rose
Hey there, Rose.
heyyy rose *hugs* How are you today?
{{hugs}} miz pugs, hey peach, heyyyy sprite. a bit stiff abd achy, but doing okay i guess.
pugs, next time go for a much much shorter ride! Short enough that you can WALK the uphill stretches.
I think we all got aches today--lol
*gently rubs rose's sore parts* Easy does it, darling... take your time.
went shopping for party decorations. i found some clear candle holders, which flash different colours, like a disc light. * giggle *
Sprite, I got inclines going out of our drive-way both ways
oh wow Rose--I bet they are pretty though
got bad news about my friend yesterday, it is cancer. A very very rare one even. And when we were talking about it, my son showed once again how totally insensivitve teenagers can be, sigh.'
How are you and the flu Sprite?
roflol @ the candlesticks. How gaudy :D
have ordered and they are going to be delivered to the function room, 30 helium-filled balloons, 10 of which say ^) and have stars all over them.
ahh so sorry Sprite
sounds lovely, rose.
* say 60 *
thanks pugs
aww sprite, what terrible news. is it an aggressive form of cancer?
is this your friends sister that came and visit Sprite
rose, they call it MPNST, malign perifere nerve sheat tumor.
pugs, yes. She is a friend of mine as well.
whats her name Sprite and will add her to my prayer list
usually happens to people who have neurofibromatosis (sp?) but not often found in otherwise healthy people.
her name is Rommy, pugs. Thank you.
Prayers and energy from here too, sprite.
are you okay Sprite
it seems it isn't a fast growing cancer, most of the time. They think they got the whole tumor out. Next is a scan of the lungs to see if it has... what's the word... started elsewhere as well. If not, she will be monitored very closely to see if it comes back. It often comes back, often in the same place. Might not be slow growing then, though.
thank you peach :)
Hugs to you Sprite--I know you are having a rough time with things
I am ok, pugs. Just very sad and angry. Why always the good people?
thats just one of those things that we humans have no answers too Iam afraid
brb
whats up with Tim now :(
true.
to see if it has metastis, spread elsewhereised
metastisised
oh, Tim said since they think they got it all out, why was it bad news... and when I explained about how you live with cancer in your body and having a sword of Damocles over your head all the time, waiting for it to come back, he said that sounded very doable.
oh i see what happened, for some reason words were put in a different order to what i typed.
that one, rose, thank you :) They didn't discuss yet what will happen when it has metastisised to the lungs. We will cross that bridge if we get to it, I guess.
I kind of like spread elsewhereised.
teens!! * rolls eyes * they are so immortal, aren't they?
I said I hoped he would never be asked to 'do' that doable thing. Then he stood up from dinner and went upstairs. Didn't want to talk about it later either. God, he will be 18 this month. Don't they EVER grow up?
lolol, nope.....look at your hubby....just an older-looking kid, in reality.
too true. Sigh. How are your canary and manary today?
i mean, don is sitting here, using the laptop, watching the news, wearing a purple velvet jester's hat.
sprite, i didn
awwwww that is so sweet
does it have bells on it Rose--lol
canaries could pout...lol. he sulked right through til about an hour ago, when he started to sing again.
umm, yes, pugs.
lol, it is a male canary, rose. No doubt about it.
true, sprite, true
and the canary-picked hubby?
I got to take W to his aunts birthday get-together saturday and Iam not looking forward to that at all. She is in her late 90's and nice but I dont feel I fit in with his family and plus for some reason I embarress him--:(
*giggle* yes, why do you ask? *can't wait to hear response*
pugs, don't do it then. Let him get a ride from one of his family members.
lol rose! I just wanted to know if hubby was over his canary pout yet.
there is no one close enough to do that
what sprite said, pugs. tell him to take a long walk.....off a short pier, while he's at it.
amen to what rose said
then they can drive a bit longer for him. Better that than having you at a party where you feel bad and are made to feel worse.
i think so, sprite. oh my, if i could only take a photo of what i am seeing at this very moment. you gals would fall off your chairs.
*giggles* Paint it in words for us, rose
I might just drop him off and go and get him later on in the day
Boing! Boing! Boing! Goooooooooood morning fellow Babblers xxxxx
why is he wearing such a hat anyway Rose
that would work too, pugs. Good idea. If he can't get another ride, do that. Don't go where you are not loved and appreciated.
Hugs and Hi Wor
hello worzel
Good morning pugs ((hugs)) Sprite ((hugs)) xxxxx
okay, purple jester's hat, with bells, glasses, full beard and moustache, egrossed in....wait for it.....a game of cards on the laptop. he is looking OVER the top of the glasses which he needs to use the laptop.
morning worzel
Good morning Mum xxxx
Iam planning on doing some painting today, whats everyone else planning
i am killing myself trying not to LOLOL
roflol rose :D I love it.
I'm planning on a little shopping then having a lazy day for once
LOL Rose--we need a photo of that
I plan to get over this darn flu. Laundry. Cooking a very very easy dinner. That's it.
you going flower or plant shopping Wor
we had lunch out today. used a gift voucher son and his wife gave me for my birthday.
Sprite dont you ever have a empty laundry basket--lol
mainly groceries but am on the lookout for some hanging basket plants today too x
what are you gonna paint, pugs? Artistically or domestically?
flower boxes Sprite--Iam no artist lol
pugs, my darling. I have a husband who has work clothes, carpentry clothes and normal clothes. A teenager son who needs sports clothes. And a teenager girl. Need I say more?
oh but sounds like fun, pugs.
I did get my car cleaned yesterday. Iam not crazy about that job. Have to use Q-tips to get into the vents and places a rag cant get to
good job, pugs. Yes, lots of work, that.
I enjoy painting--so I dont mind doing it
Hi everyone, had red boxes since l:09 this clock time - just ignored them and finished the grid - just couldn't speak to anyone
morning flo xxxx
so hi and goodnight all, have fun with this one
I would hate to see what would happen here if something were to happen to me--lol---the place would fall into ruins
WTG FLOSEY!!!! and hi, dear
lol, bedtime here Worz
oh, night, flosey, hope you can rest well.
Hi flosey and good night and congrats
thanks my good friends, see you tomorrow night
can i have a clue for either word from the 4th column e please for nbt? xx
wtg flosey :)
ec4, a shield
thanks mum! yay nbt! xx
ec7, ec + short thank-you + the high **a*, the ocean
oooo ty xx
Dr God's having a go-slow with me this morning
thanks rose
np's
ar5/10 lmao! Oh I really need to grow up! teehee
oh rose, I took a drink last night, before bed. Shouldn't use alcohol with the gabapentine, I know. But did anyway and slept so deeply and without really bad dreams.
as for fa5/16 - well, there's just no need!!! Sorry, I've had too much caffeine today - I shall sit quietly and behave myself (yea right)! x
thats has to really be hard for you Wor--lol
it is, it so is. I couldn't behave in a straightjacket!
well Sprite you needed a good night sleep
I sure did. Am not sorry, lol. I think drinking alcohol once a year shouldn't kill me. Even with the gaba.
nice, sprite. sometimes it is okay to do that occasionally, dear.
Wor, are the hanging baskets there very pricey
thanks rose. I hoped so. Thought if it was really dangerous, you'd tell me :)
is it mother's day for you all sunday?
I don't want to get into legal trouble, but there is absolutely no conclusive proof that alcohol has any effect against medication. I don't want to advocate that you imbibe, of course, but I'm just passing on the truth xx
fireflies. Yes pugs, mother's day on Sunday here. Am not going to remind my family this time.
so worzel, you haven't found an4/5, and it's plural yet? an4 is a more polite word for ar4
WTG SPRITE!!!!!
congrats Sprite
pug the baskets can be bought really cheaply if you buy the baskets and plants separately. I can do a basket for around £5 all in, but if i was to buy one that was already made up it would cost me three times that much
wtg sprite xx
wooo hoooo ty for an 4 mum that's made my day! bums all round today!!!!
funny how a more polite word for bu4 can sound ruder.
mother's day here also. haven't heard from any of the kids about it yet. may be they will say something on saturday at the party.
well I do hope your guy's kids remember
there are 8 rear-end related words in the grid. wonder if that is some sort of record?
well i don't know about a record, but it's gonna be a long time before I reach the BACK END of this grid pmsl
did you like my crack?
oh, and speaking of rear-ends, worzel. how's yours today? you weren't well yesterday.
how did you hurt your rump Wor
*giggle*
actually my rear seems to be ok, it's the inside that's a bit unwired at the moment - just a wee bug methinks, but it'll soon pass xxxx ty
out the rear end--lol just had to say that
wee bug or poopy bug?
lololol rose
haha - poopy xx
lol rose
wee being the scottish for small
hello fellow babblers :) intermittent connection issues for the last 24 hours, hoping it's due to bad weather?
hey Kate!
good morning Kate xxxx
hey kate, have you had a snooze, hun?
Hi Kate
rite i'll brb - more caffeine xx
I have to be off. *hugs* to my friends. And to all a blessed day and peaceful evening.
hope your day treats you well, dear. enjoy as be4 you can. xxxx
bye Sprite--love and hugs and hope you get to feeling better
hi pugs granny, worz, spritey, and all the lurkerz :)
bye sprite
yes rose, it is now 4 a.m. here and just up - for a while anyway... will probably go back to bed as i have not had enough kip time yet. was thiking that a glass of wine and a bit of babble might be just hte thing!
sounds good to me, kate.
have you been keeping well?
pretty good at the moment. lower back spasms have been giving me gip.
morning
{{hugs}} sarah, this is so great.
oh no! they are the worst! do you take some good drugs for them?
morning Sarah
hi sarah :)
rose xxx i have emailed you xx
magnesium, and some times a baby dose of valium. physio worked on it for 20 minutes, the left the TENS machine on for 10 minutes. much better.
oh, lovely, sarah. thanx
It is at be4 disingenuous to declare alcohol has no effect when used when taking medications. Do a search. My treatment team was adament about not using alcohol when taking my medications.
o-o, it really depends on the medication, and how it acts.
the americans "of an age" may remember the name karen ann quinlan....
ho o-o-!
morning OO
not american, please enlighten me
There are many variables in addition to the medication. To say there is no conclusive proof is simply wrong
There are plenty of drugs that come with that cute bright orange warning sticker attached, telling you not to drink when taking them. However, the sticker can fall off, or not get attached in the first place, or you might just really need that cocktail and figure it'll be OK "just this once." But alcohol, combined with a long list of painkillers, sedatives, and other medications, becomes a deadly poison in these situations. In fact, many experts now say you shouldn't drink when on any medication without first checking with your doctor.
she was a college kid in good health, went out for drinks and took a valium, went into a coma, never woke up... sparked the long legal battle to have hte right to "pull the plug"..was huge... of course, a case like that is very rare, but drug interactions are guidelines because sometimes sh** happens.
agreed, o-o. that was out of line. because research does show that alcohol and certain types of medications should never be mixed.i think any thing which changes the way a brain works, should be carefully monitored, and never mixed with alcohol. but that is all subjective.
sedatives and booze combo lowers the cns responses... people pass out and just stop breathing :(
Ok, I shall re-write my earlier comment. There is no conclusive proof that alcohol taken alongside medicated drugs when taken at the doseage prescribed causes dangerous side effects. Obviously any medication taken to an extreme dosage will have effects, especially when taken with excess alcohol. I'm only going on what has been recently published in the Lancet journal. Hope I haven't offended or upset or confused anyone. As I said, too, I wouldn't advocate anybody taking alcohol and drugs at the same time
you read the lancet?
yeah, our own responses to drugs and alcohol are all different. our absorption rate, and excretion rates are all different.
I do. My dad was a neurosurgeon and tried desperately to educate me into the ways of medicine. Although I didn't enjoy that field of work I still take an active interest
don has had blood tests for Vitamin D levels show they are still very low. he has been taking 1000 microunits of Vit D for weeks, and has been working outside in the sunshine, with out a shirt. his excretion rate is very fast.
sorry if i've upset anyone
i have seen many fascinating pieces from there, but reprinted in newspapers etc... couldn't afford the subscription rate. i'd get a sub to nature if i could afford it
nah, worzel. it has sparked a wonderful discussion which enlightens us all.
we are all adults here, at least i presume so. for those who are not an adult, i apologise.
This comment comes from the only Lancet article I could find: The association between alcohol consumption and risk of gout has been suspected since ancient times, but has not been prospectively confirmed. Additionally, potential differences in risk of gout posed by different alcoholic beverages have not been assessed.
specific to gout
apparently wine is especially bad for gout patients... poor souls!
I cant say anything nice about booze but I like rootbeer--lol
<---- likes rootbeer; loves wine *hic*
Mum why did you say we're all adults? Me? An adult? teehee xxxx
awww, pugs, i am sorry, dear. here we are yakking about booze, when you have to live with a drunkard. i am sorry, dear
required: an 8 letter word for nbt/nbs... hints plewase?
bu8, used in castles, cathedrals to hold up walls
NP there Rose---just seen too much of what that stuff does to people
right, I'm off for the day. As I said earlier my apologies if anybody was upset or unnerved by my earlier comment. I entrust to you all a good day/eventide wherever you may felicitate it xxxx
thanks rose! mission accomplished :)
I know many dont feel that way and its okay
bye worz, no offense taken here...
bye ye Wor--enjoy your shopping
the other one is ra8, ra4, rodents + embargo + second vowel
enjoy your day, worzel, and think of your poor old mum, freezing her buns off.
and ty for the second 8 too!
awww mum you want me to come and warm them up? teeheeeeee
yay, kate, well done, you!
ty pugs xxxx
no thanx, dear. dad is quite capable. lolol
ok, well if anyone does need their cheeks warming don't forget to let old Worzy know! Have fun peeps xxxxxx *poof*
brb
o-o? i hope i haven't offended you, mate. the discussion was very interesting and lively. as usual your input was very informative.
good morning?
{{{(((ruby)))}}} !!!
have I come into the middle of a controversy?
and hereeee's ruby. hello darling
it is ruby, how's yours going?
I know that Benadryl + alcohol can be lethal, but it certainly depends on what drug, what dosage and how the body metabolizes
no ruby, everything's fine here :)
{{kate}}11
{{rosie}}
not really, dear. a lively discussion on the wisdom of mixing alcohol with certain drugs.
We had one nice, warm, sunny day but now we're back to rain
.0
ugh, ruby. has been dry here, but the wind...it is so cold....
Sometimes, when my daily painkiller (paracetemol + codeine isn't working, one aperitif before lunch helps it kick in
and hey ya marigold. are you well today?
I metabolize VERY fast, so have to be really careful about alcohol quantity or I fall on my face lol
hello mari
lolol, ruby, and i metabolise codeine very fast. i have to be careful how much i take at any one time.
Hugs and Hi Ruby
{{pugs}}
When I was in hospital and they gave me morphine after surgeries, they were astonished at how much I needed. Evidently, what they gae me would have put a (large) man down
yes i am good
Hi marigolg
oops hit the wrong letter--marigold
friend is coming to pick up the bar b q, must lock up the dogs
some people have a high tolerance to various drugs, including opiates.. i am the same :(
oh, for goodness sake. our previous government racked up an enormous debt. and now, we, the tax-payers are expected to pay it off. our current government cannot find any other way to pay this debt. i can. i want the politicians to give up at least $300K of THEIR income...
same song, different country rose ;)
yeah like that will happen Rose--its much like that here
i am so angry with this. why should the people of a country carry the debt of a government. if justice is to be done, let the politicians demonstrate their eagerness to reduce the national debt.
going to take a break from this so good night Rose, love and hugs and bye to all
xoxox, pugs. hope your day is kind to you, dear.
niters pugs :)
oh, dear....i am on my high horse...have just emailed my prime minister and the opposition leader. i am so angry about this new levy...
careful rose, you'll end up on a "watch list" lol!
*giggle* kate, they need to know how the average citizen feels. i am NOT going to let this go.
if our politicians would give up $300k of their wages, it would give back so much to the economy.
rose that would literally be a drop in the bucket... and i'm not s sure you're an "average" citizen..
i don't pay a lot of attention to aussie economy, but you were one of the few countries in the world that didn't tank during the big meltdown in 2007-2009... perhaps the government supported the economy and that led to the debt...
in which case, you should be glad it didn't hit you.. the fallout was/is terrible!
too true, kate. thanx for your words.
oh, the news just clarified. the levy is for high income earners...wonder if that includes the politicians.
* head wagging* just what do you mean? i am not an average citizen? lolol
We gave our huge bar b q to the local Sicilian as we weren't using it any more. He can fit it into his kitchen and will probably use it well. He has been such a help to us, always ready to lend a hand, and they are like family, too
nice, ruby. i hope they appreciate it.
it was husband's idea, rather than trying to sell it
same tack being used in the states and here too rose.. tax the rich more...and the evil smokers
this is very frustrating... i havenm't been able to get into any games on fb for quite a while. it says i am connected to network, with good signal strength, but slow/no loading or only partially loads.. babble even took about 3 minutes to load :(
aww, kate. i am so sorry you are having such difficulties.
sorry for delay. hubby just handed me a chinglese translation of how to operate our newest projection screen. i have been in stitches.
see you later, kids
see you later, kids
{{for you both}}
xoxox my darling ruby
a good bit of chinglish rose? bye ruby :)
Can't sleep might as well babble for awhile....
kate, circumgyrate...and ...close the screen, please do it contrarily.
g'day nicky. i haven't seen you before. nice to meet you.
you should pass it on to gortmold ! hi nicky :)
lol, nice rose!
Not usually up @ 2a.m.!
that's what babble is for nicky, lots of insomniacs here ;)
awww, poor you, nicky. i hate that. i often awake at 4am my time. and lie there and listen to the clock tick, and to hubby breathing. it's so frustrating.
Hi all :)
hi liz :)
and hi to you, liz
How's the fm today? Feeling a bit better I hope.
yes, liz. physio worked on it for 20 minutes, then put the TENS machine on for 10 minutes. so all good. how are you, dear?
Fine here thanks. Wishing the weather would warm up a bit!
Are you all prepared for the party?
lolol, liz...give it a few months, dear.
It's been really cold here - for this time of year. Down to 8C at night!
liz, went shopping for party decorations today. the party shop will deliver the balloons. and i bought clear candle holders which change colours like a disco .
clear candle holders are a six and a zero.
Sounds like good fun. Does Don know everything you've planned or are there some surprises?
cool! Hope you'll take loads of pics.
there are some surprises. like the candle holders, the banners, and the balloons. oh, and the cake...he doesn't know about the tira misu cake yet...
Did you make it or order it in the end? I'm sure it'll be yummy either way.
How long is the step daughter staying with you?
liz, we have an italian cake shop near us. i did order it from there.
I've never had tiramisu as a cake - I love the dessert though.
I'm sure it's going to be an amazing weekend for you and Don will love it.
not sure, re the step-daughter. i have paid for 2 days hire-car. i have told her, that i expect her to visit her mum on mother's day.
Give you some space!!!!
That's very nice of you to have paid for the car hire!
cake is very close to the cake, flavour wise.
Hmm! 8.00 reset - chat disappears into the ether!
ugh, yup
Well anyway, take it easy before the big day, so you really enjoy it, Rose!
I've been babbling at slightly different times - how's Pugs? I've missed her.
cake is very close to the dessert. an italian baker making it.
pugs, is doing well. her meds have brought her BSL way down.
That will taste and look tremendous - sure it will be quickly guzzled down!
Are you doing finger food or more meal-ish food?
Glad to read that about Pugs - I'm sure I'll catch her soon or I'll e mail her.
How's Sprite - saw her briefly yesterday.
liz, party shop delivering balloons. and the pub is serving finger foods, both savoury and sweet.
sprite still has a nasty cold hanging on.
So hopefully quite easy for you - not too much preparation. Have you got something new to wear?
Poor Sprite - she's had a rough time with colds over the past few months.
nah...will pick out something i haven't worn for a while, i guess.
I really hope we get to Amsterdam, when we're in Europe - depends on time and money though!
You'll look great whatever :)
i am hoping the focus will be on don....lol
I'm sure he'll look great too :)
oh, dear, liz. he is threatening to wear his purple velvet jester's hat, with bells on it.
Well - you could wear your tutu!
Who bought him a jester's hat??????
he has been sitting here all afternoon and evening, with it on. and he expects me to keep a straight face.
Not possible!
he had it before we were married.
And you found it, when you were clearing out? Couldn't it magically disappear until after the weekend?
lol, on which leg will i wear the tutu?
Mind you - the photos!!!!
Make a paper crown!
OK - hubby calling. Give the mob love 'n' hugs from me, if I don't see them first. Hopefully catch you tomorrow, Rose. Hugs :)
xoxox. liz!
after 8PM here.. night to all who follow. it was/is a great grid. enjoy!!!
Could I get a clue for ra8, please/
Rodents +BA 4/6

Enjoy the Crossword, Ruby :-)

Teehee i thought that was the case, Annie, i think babble expert gave you away..lol
Hi TK, nice to see you
we get the NYT international edition, so it is much truncated.
Babble Expert always gives me away. lol
Bobby's mail is on the way.....
Can't you do it on-line ruby. That's how I do it
ruby, That'll be fun.
I can't lie down when it's online, bichon, and I need to lie down more than I need to do the puzzle lol
need caffeine. going to put up a pot of coffee.
The on line version comes with Across-Lite and it's very easy to do. You even get a cute prompt when you finish it correctly
Ooh good idea, Annie, think i will make a cup of tea too.
that's funny bichon
do they do it with increasingly harder puzzles as the week progresses?
Very much so. It comes with a timer, but I only time it on Mon and Tues
Is across-lite and acrostic? That's what I really miss
No, they have a different program for the acrostic. Some of the variety puzzles are in Across Lite too

not if Dr_God does not add it to Enable
can Dr G alter enable, or is it a pre-existing program that he uses for his game creation?
Words may be added or deleted
I think it's like the OSPD and used for other games as well

Hi folks

So upset I forgot to move the cursor.lol

Upset about the 4 letter words, I meant

i get more upset with the racial / ethnic slurs it accepts
hungry grandson complaining. I will have to go and feed him. bbl.
nasty children, always wanting to be fed.
Hi Bich, yes I watched the whole thing. Just as good as it always was. Jack Bauer is the ultimate badass. : D
pretty good.
Rude words and racial slurs in the grid don't bother me. They are just words in a word game, they are not being used to insult someone.
this grid is so low, it has a tu4!
