12:41 am

Long time since I studied math and Pavlov.

I sub math from time to time. Have my HS's Alg II text on my nightstand.

should I know the rl&. That upper left E has me bedeviled.

12:42 am

Would put me to sleep very quickly.

el7. I'm typing in the dark.

12:42 am

nu6

loved calculus and algebra... don't remember much of it now, unfortunately

haha. It does work better than Ambien, ARB!

tx, ruru, and I'm sure you are (;

12:43 am

I'm not.. but I'll take one :D

that would not be me.

12:44 am

pu 7

12:45 am

Ru -- the nu 6 word reminds me of tall thin black slaves waving feathered plumes!

12:45 am

:D

ty bro

12:46 am

but it won't accept the pu 5 you would think would go with it :(

pu7? How that works as that part of speech eludes me.

I so concur!

clue for the el7 please.

12:48 am

it starts with the 2nd last word you used in your previous message

a solvent in medicine el + abbrev for United + to lease a house minus the r

12:48 am

I monkeyed it - dict. says it is an adverb

oops plus make my clue plural

12:50 am

won't take newby or newbie!

thanks, VMD and ARB. I suspected it resembled that next to last word.

I thought newbie was valid :(

12:51 am

It is a lovely musical sounding word, where the sound has absolutely nothing to do with the meaning

definitely doesn't sound like it's definition

nbt at last. nbs, too

wtg mel

odd by 4/8 word - don't remember that one

12:54 am

1:10 am

thanks.. and that does seem hugely wrong. heh heh

I sure have never heard it used in a sentence.

1:11 am

I would laugh derisively at anyone over the age of 3 who used that word!

1:12 am

1:24 am

Ha.. you've hit rock bottom.

1:24 am

hootowl is screaming somewhere

1:24 am

1:32 am

1:33 am

It takes guts.

1:33 am

1:33 am

I can't believe they are letting us bladder on

1:33 am

:P << colon AND pee!

1:34 am

1:34 am

1:35 am

Yeah.. well don't leak it to everyone.

cooee and g'day from me. {{hugs}} sprite, xoxox rbud

2:20 am

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend, how did you sleep last night and how did today go?

2:20 am

I think that's a line from a Joe Walsh song... "I can't complain but sometimes I still do. Life's been good to me so far..."

2:21 am

good line!

2:21 am

hiya rose!

2:21 am

no sleep :-( and today body reacting to stress.

2:21 am

had a feeling that might be the case. Shall I send on some healing vibes to calm things down and help you sleep tonight?

2:21 am

and you, sprite?

2:22 am

that would be nice, thanx darling.

2:22 am

fussing over that top right S, it's all I need for nbt/nbs happiness

2:22 am

lawyer is on the move. he's gathering medical reports

2:23 am

rbud, plural of sa5/14

2:24 am

2:24 am

I slept ok, am fine :)

2:25 am

that's great sprite.

2:26 am

yay for the lawyer. He/she is gonna bury them alive.

2:28 am

He. Jeezzz I am slow this morning.

2:28 am

* giggle * no dear, you're just not fully awake yet.

2:29 am

should be, have been up since 7 am.

2:31 am

tomorrow, my friend comes, with her sister and her parents. They are gonna help us with a kind of spring cleaning... bit late in the year though, lol.

2:31 am

oh, nice sprite. better late than never, hun

2:32 am

indeed. It is a bit embarrassing we can't do it by ourselves, but it is wonderful they are so happy to help us out.

2:34 am

hun, sometimes we all need a helping hand.

2:34 am

ain't that the truth...

2:42 am

lol, funny to have un5/22 and nu6/27 in one grid

2:43 am

yeah, i had a giggle at that....

2:43 am

:D

2:44 am

2:46 am

2:51 am

ah, the other version of the tigon, lol. Silly names.

3:00 am

i can't believe it. aldi supermarket has removed roald dahl's book revolting tales because of the use of the word slut. in response to a small section of the community. * sigh * and christians wonder why the greater part of the community deride them. talk about bible-bashing!!

3:01 am

oh my god... that is so sad. Some people really don't know what to do with their lifes, do they?

3:02 am

obviously they haven't anything better to do. for goodness sake!

3:02 am

snap, sister of my soul :)

3:02 am

lives*

3:02 am

oh, lolol

3:03 am

we have this little rhyme in dutch, that in translation would be something like: he who finds fault in mine, should go home and look at his. If he finds no faults there, he can talk about mine.

3:07 am

and out of the bible we are told to remove the beam/ log from our own eye before trying to remove the splinter from someone else's eye

3:09 am

yeah, that is a good one too. Jeezzz I have so much to still make right in my own life. I don't like very rude language, but if people need it, fine with me. And then 'slut'. Jeezz. Would 'unclean woman' have been acceptable? Or whatever the translation from the bible is, lol.

3:12 am

fireflies

3:13 am

WTG SPRITE!!! what's on your agenda today?

3:15 am

quite a lot, alas. Shopping groceries, cooking, preparing as much as I can for tomorrow, walking terra, taking a shower and washing my hair.

3:16 am

please pace yourself, dear. that's a lot to do.

3:17 am

yeah it is a bit too much. But can't be helped. Eile mit Weile, as our german neighbours say... hurry up with intervals :)

3:18 am

and tomorrow is going to be so busy for you too.

3:19 am

so, sweetie, I have to go. *hugs* and when you go to bed, try and relax and let those healing vibes flow over you. I have asked for a feeling of utter safety :)

3:19 am

yeah. Sunday is gonna be a b*tch and monday even worse. But worth it.

3:19 am

gentle hugs back at you

3:20 am

8:41 am

Cortana* not contra

8:42 am

Hi MLFAN

8:42 am

hi scrabb

8:42 am

ig4--ice hut

8:42 am

I don't have the i yet, sorry dan

8:43 am

ty Scrabbs I always forget that alt spelling

8:43 am

can i get a clue for the el 6/21 please?

8:43 am

i had to get help for that ig word too

8:43 am

Think it will be more like HAL in 2001 a space odyssey lol

8:44 am

el + when you really know a language you are fl****

8:44 am

el6 is like an el8 word that means well-spoken, but take out two letters from the middle

8:44 am

or what scrabbs said

8:44 am

ty scrab

8:50 am

ed6 is a new word for me--adjective or adverb for rim or border

8:51 am

thanks again scrabs

really? i have heard that word, but you know, it's more in describing people. she looked around ed6 at the hulking fellow sitting near her in an otherwise empty subway car... something like that.

8:52 am

ty joseph

8:56 am

is preown a hyphenated word?

8:57 am

yes and usually pre-owned

8:57 am

thought so

8:57 am

hence why it ddnt work in the grid

8:58 am

and because pre-own would be mixing present tense and past tense. You either own it or you do not:)

8:58 am

interesting thought

8:58 am

True!

it would be pretty silly. did you pre-own that car before i bought it? sounds dumb.

8:59 am

language is a funny thing sometimes

8:59 am

especially English which has stolen words from many other languages

9:00 am

Like in medicine there is the term "pre-diabetes." If you don't have diabetes you don't have it.

9:00 am

okay i am out of here for now i have 96 left and have had nbt and nbs time to watch NFL poof

9:00 am

Bye, MLFAN

but there are actually like, things in your body that merit the description "pre-diabetes", right? also "pre-cancerous cells"?

the word i find funny today is bi5 - another adverb

9:05 am

well, you have precursors in medicine, I guess, scrabby. Indicators in blood and whatnot that if the current course of diet, and exercise remains unchanged the doctors can project it for your near future, like they did for my mrs

9:05 am

There are atypical cells that aren't actual cancer cells. But you can be at risk for diabetes and never get it. Just a pet peeve for me as a doc.

9:06 am

but I am just guessing

9:06 am

I think pre-diabetes is used to scare patients into changing their lifestyle. Maybe it works sometimes.

9:06 am

Perhaps. Got my beloved thinking:)

9:07 am

so, because of that I have been taking her hiking all this summer and she is down 20 pounds:)

9:09 am

(crossy is down 30 pounds or so:)

9:11 am

Yay! Fantastic accomplishments! I gained 10 lbs within 2 months after my concussion in March and have dropped 2 recently. It's so hard to lose weight.

oh i see, so the pre-diabetes is more like when politicians want to call poor people "pre-rich"

9:12 am

good one jj!

9:13 am

Yes!

*sneaks in*

9:22 am

Hi Ms Prefect.

Hi Scrabbler. Long time no see!

9:24 am

morning all. Scrabbler - prediabetes is one of the conditions Jeremy discussed in his book Prescribing By Numbers. I'm down here now and a copy of his new book is on the table. You'll love it. Generics - The Unbranding of Modern Medicine

Good morning, Dorens!

Good morning, Dorens!

Apparently I was excited to see you...

9:25 am

Morning Leigh.. How's Teaneck?

9:25 am

(I'm a very exciting person, obviously)

9:26 am

Is there a coffeeneck?

9:26 am

Is there a coffeeneck?

9:26 am

My father used to talk about moving to Coffeestomach

Lovely today. Although I'm sitting in a laboratory for the next two hours for some glucose testing. Not as fun. How are things over in your area?

9:26 am

i grew up there, did you know?

9:26 am

Interesting, Doren.

Did you? Whereabouts?

I think I'd prefer Teaneck to Coffeeneck. I can't stand coffee...

9:27 am

down in Baltimore right now. (I preordered it on Amazon Scrabs.... you have to see the blurbs... So impressive. Mukharjee, who wrote Emperor of All Maladies, said such incredibly nice things.

9:27 am

Weatherman: it is going to be cloudy today and slightly earl grey

9:28 am

Wonderful, Doren!

haha

Sounds like awful weather, ru@

the sunset may be more orange pekoe

9:28 am

Milford Terrace, leigh. (down by River Road and West Englewood Ave.) parents moved to Vandelinda when I was in college... nicer neighborhood, but not really home to me

9:29 am

sounds great, Ru Dar***ling

9:29 am

Everyone in Teaneck constantly comments

I know exactly where that is. We're right off Cedar Lane and River Road.

9:30 am

Lol!!

and nobody's chai about loving tea

9:30 am

I heard a lot of old bags live in Teaneck

Molly - Incidentally, that's totally true. My last neighbors were batcases.

9:31 am

Ha

9:31 am

I hear the rent is steep too

9:31 am

no more tea bag jokes please!

9:31 am

All breakfasts are English

Also true, Molly. But that's this whoe area.

no, some are also Irish

9:32 am

Well, I won't comment on it being a whoe area : D

9:33 am

Teabagging in Teaneck is against the law saanich

hahaha

and if you want to get there, it doesn't take oolong

9:33 am

uh-huh

9:33 am

Doren, your son needs to write a book on the language of medicine, and the euphemisms..pre-diabetes, pre-cancer, reactive airways disease (instead of saying asthma)...

9:33 am

Good one jj

the favorite pet name is dar(jee)ling

9:34 am

morning ru

How is pudge not a word?

9:34 am

In Teaneck everyone leafs each other alone

9:34 am

Hiya saan

9:35 am

Glub isn't a word either, I was disappointed

Traffic in the mornings makes for oolong commute.

do boats stop there, or do they just ceylon?

9:35 am

The highschool band has a crumpet section

9:36 am

Ha jj

9:36 am

Hi folks, good morning

9:36 am

howdy, bichon

Top of the morning to you, bichon

imagine the confusion at the golf course when someone asks for a caddie

9:37 am

Hi bichon and pups

9:37 am

thank you guys

9:37 am

pups are exhausted. Took them for an uber walk.

You all need to stop milking my hometown. You're only brewing trouble.

this is putting me in the mood for some kettle corn

9:39 am

Kids in highschool get in trouble for teanecking

9:39 am

How are you ru, recovering?

Oh lord. Two horses escaped a home in Morristown and found their way onto 287 this morning, dorens. Not a good scene. One of them was hit.

that's sad

9:40 am

ah, that would be nice Scrabs~~his thing is The History of Medicine... I will suggest it to him tonight

9:40 am

It is a lot better bichon thanks

9:41 am

My son in San Mateo slept through it

9:41 am

Were the horses checking out the neigh-borhood

9:42 am

It wasn't a big deal on the Peninsula

9:42 am

that is so sad Leigh.. And I was on 287 S just yesterday.

who was it that wanted pudge? try adverb

9:42 am

good morning all - could hear the laughter on my way in ;_)

9:50 am

"So I told the rather rubicund fellow that I would not forbear his facetious predilection, and that I would extirpate him if he persisted. However I refrained from the notion because I desiderated copulation with his girlfriend. Think I will fit it in there somewhere.. lol

9:50 am

Hello, Bich

hi,bich. how are you today?

2:25 pm

just sparkling. Perfect weather

2:25 pm

Nice to see you, bich

2:25 pm

and how are you TO? toe healed?

2:26 pm

hi jaxx

2:26 pm

Cloudy and miserable here today. Another hurricane using its leftovers to muck up our weather.

2:27 pm

got the op 7/8

2:27 pm

Sorry to hear that jaxx. We could use some rain.

bich, i don't think I had the chance to offer my condolences.

2:28 pm

thanks very much TO.

most times i play and go without chat.

2:29 pm

She was very old and very sick. I alm relieved that she is no longer suffering

2:29 pm

We could do with some sunshine. Perhaps we could arrange a swap, what do you think?

i think you are right, jaxx.we need rain

2:30 pm

Then of course, if we had rain, the fluffies wouldn't go outside.

2:31 pm

have you lost your mum, Bich?

2:31 pm

Yes, last week. It's so hard to believe that I've reached a stage in my life when I am parentless

that is quite a shock,bich.

2:33 pm

Mums leave a big hole, bich. Mine died in 2009 and I still go to call her. I am so sorry that you are an orphan. It makes you feel more mortal somehow.

2:34 pm

A good number of people at my age, 68, are parentless. Something they don't tell you in the owners manual

i am wishing for an e ad t adjacent for this grid...

2:36 pm

I am the same age, bich. My mum had her children late in life. It is the rock again. At first it stops you going forward but gradually it moves to one side and you can go on. The time it takes to clear the road differs from person to person.

nice metaphor, jaxx.

2:38 pm

My mother-in-law, the same age, is still going strong. I hope she gets really old

2:38 pm

The humanist at Tim's funeral came up with it but it is appropriate and so true.

my exmil died at 44. it was the beginning of the end of the marriage;he could not co4/

2:40 pm

so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom, Bichon . . . lost mine 3 years ago and think of her every day . . .

2:40 pm

I keep thinking of all the little things she did for me

2:40 pm

Thanks Une.

2:41 pm

My sister's first marriage lasted a month because her husband was a mother's boy. When he left he took his mother's wedding present with him - a lifesize pair of pottery cheetahs - and left all his money and keys behind!

2:42 pm

sheesh jaxx

2:42 pm

wow . . .

2:43 pm

Even better he came back after a month because his mother told him to, having consulted a lawyer. Silly fool told my sister that his mother had sent him back. I leave the rest to your imaginations

2:44 pm

good lord

my imagination is working overtime

2:45 pm

He was in his late thirties and didn't have a front door key so mummy would know when he got back home.

2:45 pm

aaacckkk!! LOL

2:46 pm

*pops head in door*

2:46 pm

So your sister threw him out?

2:46 pm

cos, long time no see!!!

hi, cos.

2:46 pm

BRB . . .

2:46 pm

Straightaway. he didn't bring the cheetahs back either. lol

2:50 pm

Hi, cos

2:52 pm

bbl

break time, see you later

2:55 pm

Cheerio, TO

2:56 pm

relube

Hi jaxx. How's things with you?

Just in time for my free word, lol

2:56 pm

Trust me! My trademark, a nonword this time.

2:57 pm

My free word brings chrissie as if by magic. Hi Chrissie.

2:59 pm

I must admit This SS business is getting me down. I cancelled my lunch date with Debbie. We go out once a month. I just couldn't summon up the energy.

We're at my son's in Rugby for the w/e. 125 mike journey took 8 hours!!!

Haven't cauught up with you for about a week. Last time we spoke you were making progress.

3:02 pm

The SW keeps ringing, asking leading questions and then not turning up. I am still trying to clear the clutter. The local charity shop shelves must be bending.

mile journey - don't know what mike's git to do with it :)

3:03 pm

Who is mike's git?

Errr mike is not a git

3:04 pm

Your typing is as good as my cursor moving! lol

Have had a brandy (or two) to get over the journey. Seems to have gone to my fingers :D

I'm always on an ipad, which doesn't help

3:05 pm

I find when typing under the influence my vocabulary goes upmarket.

Are you keeping a log of the sw's actions?

Maybe I just need anither drink

3:06 pm

No. Suppose I should, eh?

3:07 pm

I would indulge but we are in enough trouble with alcohol as it is.

I recommend you do.

3:09 pm

Good idea. They want separate chronologies from us (so they can catch us out?) I should return the favour.

3:11 pm

They have decided that Norton does not need protection, only support. Jess' dad refused to dish the dirt on Julie and said he wouldn't be coming to any meetings.

Yes. When dealing with any beaurocracy or large,company it't best to make a record of every contact, names, times etc

What about Ash?

3:13 pm

Norton's mother wanted to know why, if Norton does not need protection, why do they think Jerss does. They are the same age, in the same house.

3:13 pm

Jess even

Do they have different sw's?

3:15 pm

Ash is making the best of it but he breaks down and cries with huge tears at night when he should be asleep. I have slept with him for the past few days or he doesn't setle at all. he won't let me give him a cuddle or hold his hand as 'I am more mature now@ - at 9 years of age.

3:15 pm

Hugs jaxx. I am so sorry this is still going on for you. It is always a terrible stress on everyone involved because everyone starts doubting everything.

3:15 pm

My typing is going to pot.

3:16 pm

No, one SW fits all.

Sorry jaxx, that must be brandy by proxy ;)

3:17 pm

Thanks, bug. I am sure they are upsetting Ash more than his mother's poor behaviour.

That's so sad, must break your heart not to be able to comfort him

3:18 pm

We have some Courvosier downstairs. I will get some later. I am hoping to carry on with my Aran knitting. That is complicated enough without adding alcohol.

3:20 pm

I am positive of it. Even if his mother is not able to care for him properly right now, it doesn't mean that she does not love him intensely and his love for her doesn't need to be questioned. I used to foster kids and always had fear of the SW who seemed to be trying to destroy family units rather than offer the kind of help that is needed.

Going to join my daughter and d-i-l now. Might catch you later jaxx. If not (((hugs))) take care x

3:20 pm

I am finding this very hard myself but I am not 9 years old.

3:21 pm

Aran knitting is much better than alcohol to focus your mind on something else!

3:21 pm

Enjoy the rest of your evening chrissie

3:21 pm

Waves to Chrissie

3:22 pm

I find complicated patterns take my mind off it all.

3:24 pm

I often do picture puzzles when I don't hve a a knitting project on the go for the same reason. It is a very healthy coping mechanism.

3:25 pm

fair Isle is another good mind occupier

3:26 pm

I have been clearing away the clutter at Royal command and the amount of wool packs I have found will last me until forever

3:26 pm

I am never happy with my work on that. I find it hard to keep the tension consistant with so many threads

3:27 pm

You need shuttles, bug, they hang down the back and are easier to deal with than anything else I have found.

3:28 pm

Clearing the clutter is another good way of putting order to things when you are feeling overwhelmed. I find that when my surroundings get cluttered it means my mind is not calm either. Decluttering will make the SW happy and your minds happy as well.

3:29 pm

I have never seen shuttles or how they are used. I will add that to my list of reasons why I need to come over the pond to meet more friendly Babblers there. You can be my tutor.

3:30 pm

The recycling centre is full of my clutter and the local charity shop. I have found family history treasures in the form of photos and autograph albums. It keeps stopping me from finishing as I get all nostalgic.

3:31 pm

Keep the treasures and allow the other stuff to be useful in other homes. There is nothing better than old photos or letters. They show how much of a bond your family has.

3:33 pm

Sharing them with Ashley and telling him the stories of his past may provide another kind of comfort and strength that we never thought of.

3:33 pm

Bug, there is an American site called Love Knitting and another called Knitting daily. they provide free patterns and all sorts of knitting paraphenalia. they will show you what shuttles look like.

3:35 pm

just looked there. It will be really helpful to me I think.

3:35 pm

he did meet his great grandma and his great nan as both ladies lived well into their nineties. My Aunt is still going at 92 and he's also met her.

3:35 pm

What are DK and fingering weight yarns?

3:37 pm

I am currently fascinated with the show You Do You Think You Are in which people finds ancestors and start to see patterns in behaviour that indicates what values run strong in your family.

3:40 pm

Double Knit is usually knitted with 4mm needles. I am not up with American sizes. Fingering is what we call 4 ply. Thinner than DK and usually knitted with 3mm needles and 3.25 mm needles. Good yarn for socks.

3:40 pm

He might discover he comes from a long line of people who have faced adversity and were never destroyed. My kids know they come from a long line of readers, teachers and story-tellers who have been accepting of people with disabilities or racial differences long before it was fashionable.

3:41 pm

I am afraid that my ancestors were mainly rogues, vagabonds and Vikings. Not the best role models.

3:44 pm

Some were even transported. I have been researching my family tree for about 7 years. Like you I was inspired by WDYTYA.

3:44 pm

OK then!It doesn't get any better than rogues, vagabonds and Vikings for people who know how to adapt and make unpleasant situations work to their advantage! They are the exact role models you need right now.

3:45 pm

They are born survivors! They get knocked down but they get up again as the song says.

3:47 pm

I married a man with Viking ancestry. He is the most gentle soul like the rest of his family but they are all able to solve problems others give up on.

3:48 pm

I have gone back to my 38th great grandfather, a man called Eystein the Filth, The F***. Clearly hygiend wasn't his thing. lol

3:49 pm

How many generations back did you find? Or probably more telling is, to what year have you been succesful. I traced my first husband's family (for our kids) back to Devon in the 1700s

3:49 pm

hygiene even - amd I haven't touched a drop yet

3:50 pm

I love his name! but can't decipher the F***

3:51 pm

You must be able to read Latin to get that far back. That is amazing!

3:51 pm

930 something. As my husband is Devonian, your children and he might be related.

3:51 pm

far + t

3:51 pm

They are Clodes

I hate to gedup in the morning.

3:52 pm

Wouldn't that be something if they are/

3:52 pm

I had a Susan Clode in my class at Grammar School. A real local family.

3:52 pm

My husband had a sister Susan Clode, short for Susannah.

3:53 pm

Kaplan, I tried that too!

3:53 pm

lol and hi, kaplan

Hi. Long time no talk to.

3:54 pm

I now I have been quiet a lot lately but I have not seen you here. I hope all is well for you Kaplan

I have been here but not talking.

All is well.

3:55 pm

Glad to hear it.

3:55 pm

satur

3:55 pm

I don't remember her name being Susannah. She might be related though. I am going to the old Grammarian Society's 90th anniversary lunch at the end of September. I will see if she turns up and I will ask her. Small world isn't it?

3:56 pm

oops, Shutting up now

That ole debil love.

3:56 pm

change the u for a sometimes vowel.

3:56 pm

I don't think you are taking this seriously Kap.

3:57 pm

that is what I was trying to do jaxx. LOL

3:57 pm

And pl, bugs

3:59 pm

Thanks for the encouragement and the chat. It isn't anything you said Kap, I am off to rest my eyes. bbl

3:59 pm

I would have to look at the stuff to see which ancestors could be common to both families. She may not know the names of her ancestors.

4:00 pm

Hello babbleworld! *happy Friday dance*

4:00 pm

Have a lovely rest jaxx. Things are always easier to deal with after a good rest.

4:00 pm

Hi Jilly. Glad you are happy today

Hey, harpjane is in your homeland past two weeks. participating in harp music/concerts

4:08 pm

4:09 pm

Returning to Earth... I am on my ownsome this weekend. The last offspring living at home has gone over to the UK to visit her siblings, leaving Mama listening to Eric Carmen.... All By Myself.... drumssss

4:09 pm

4:09 pm

Man what a great time to come visit you soodle!

4:10 pm

Jilly, Harp emailed me a couple of weeks ago, to say she was in town. I replied to her, but I heard nothing from her since then. I hope she packed her winter woolies, cos it's darn cold her right now...

4:10 pm

Hey Worzel. :-)

4:12 pm

Hmm, she has internet access as she has been posting on FB. Maybe she realized she wasn't going to have the time. And, recall, we all are hardy stock and used to cold weather here in Montana!

4:14 pm

LOL Jilly! 'Hardy Stock'.... Definitely of Irish extraction!

4:15 pm

Makes me thing of how my grandfather described his cows....

4:15 pm

Especially the Irish that came to the mines in Butte. Famous saying; "Colder than a miners ass in Butte in February".

4:16 pm

Keep thinking gullible must be in grid...

4:16 pm

LOL. KI

4:17 pm

I met a chap today...who was utterly devoid of personality. He was described to me as being 'so dry, he would fart dust'. An apt description if ever I heard one...

4:18 pm

hah soodle, and hi

4:18 pm

hi all

4:18 pm

menat haha

4:18 pm

meant even

4:18 pm

LOL, we have a doc here like that, we say he has the personality of a small soap dish

4:18 pm

I am just up from a nap, still tired

4:18 pm

Hiya Peri. How goes the toes?

4:19 pm

they are fine, coated in Escaping Reality

4:19 pm

Hello peri, I think you were my muse, I have nary a bingo in scrabble since we quit playing!

4:19 pm

at least the toenails are :)

4:19 pm

my family used to describe him as having the personality of a dull thud

4:19 pm

My toes yearn to escape reality. As does the rest of me....

4:19 pm

sorry to hear that Jillly, I do not get many bingos

4:19 pm

waves to the newcomers who came in while I was distracted

4:20 pm

LOL Bugs. Very descriptive!

4:20 pm

OOO, love having new quips for those devoid of personality

4:21 pm

Okay, need STATS for the upper right corner S plz

4:22 pm

I am adding yours to my list of interesting descriptors. I also love "shoes so sensible they file their own tax returns"

4:22 pm

sa 6,24

4:22 pm

LOL, like that one too

4:22 pm

4:23 pm

4:23 pm

4:23 pm

4:25 pm

got the sa ty bugs

4:25 pm

nbt/nbs

4:25 pm

you are good Jilly

4:25 pm

Peri, I saw on FB you donated blood. I gave my 50th pint last Spring... It didn't take a feather out of me, but I sure felt great for doing it. Seriously, blood donating is the cheapest feel-good inducing activity ever! (Plus - I suffer from insomnia, after a blood donation, I sleep like a baby). Win/win

4:26 pm

it was a very positive experience.

4:27 pm

the last time I donated blood two years ago. the tech squeezed the blood pressure cuff while I was donating blood. ergo, I had excessive bruising. I reported this to the Red Cross.

4:27 pm

But I also called the Red Cross this week and told them how well everything went this time

4:28 pm

The only downside of donating is the length of time it takes

4:28 pm

There are so many forms that you keep having to fill out and verify

4:28 pm

Fair play! Credit where credit was due, and feedback where it was needed. Well done.

4:29 pm

I spent a very short time there. I asked if the process had been shortened but they said now. the actual donation part only took about 12 minutes. I was amazed. it usually takes much longer. this tech was very efficient and fast

4:30 pm

Indeed, Soodle, I do complain but I do praise as well. They appreciated my phone call and that was good.

4:30 pm

I received a blood transfusion in 1978, which saved my life. I have been passionate about donating ever since.

4:31 pm

I will do it as long as I am able to

4:34 pm

hats off to you two. I am very irregular with it.

4:35 pm

the donation place was a church two blocks from me so it was very convenient

4:37 pm

Here it takes about 3 hours, even when you make a reservation because they take walk-ins at the same time so the reservations get bumped back.

4:37 pm

We have a donation at our hospital once a quarter. I can't donate as I am on a blood thinner. *sigh* Used to do it regularily before.

4:37 pm

I was a walk in

4:38 pm

I was there maybe an hour all together. it was great

4:38 pm

I like walkins because they discover how easy it is but I would like to have 2 stream or more beds.

4:39 pm

I must wander off to do something useful. I still have too many left for now. Happy Babbling everyone

4:42 pm

Alas, I must leave the chog as well. have 93 left...bbl *poof*

4:48 pm

Bye Bugs & Jilly. See you both soon. :-)

Had a nice long lunch with my brother today - and a long visit - about 6 hours

10:18 pm

tomorrow we go to visit my other son and family

10:18 pm

how lovely, flosey. was the weather good? did you eat al fresco?

10:19 pm

it has been lovely, Rose - haven't had a hot day since arriving last Wednesday

10:19 pm

al fresco?

10:20 pm

oh, nice. it's so much better when you don't have to deal with extremes of temperature. al fresco, in the open air

10:21 pm

no, went to a fav of his, Swiss Chalet, chicken

10:21 pm

near here, so easy

10:21 pm

ahhhh, my favourite food...chicken

10:22 pm

he isn't coming back WITH me but has promised to come out after I get home

10:22 pm

flosey, nearly all my tulip bulbs have sprung up. i can't wait for them to flower.

10:23 pm

how long since he visited with you at your home?

10:23 pm

wow, lovely rose, sounds strange here, tulip season is in the Spring

10:24 pm

lolol....i think the real message here is that i haven't killed them.

10:24 pm

have to think back, he came while he and new wife were honeymooning - not being at home, can't check to see how long ago - several years

10:26 pm

he is on his own again, after first wife died, he met up again with an old HS sweetheart, married and had a few wonderful years, and she died, so is on his own again and lonely

10:26 pm

i am thinking a bit has changed since he saw your home then?

10:27 pm

probably, rose

10:27 pm

oh, the poor man....that is rough.

10:28 pm

and he's such a sweetie

10:28 pm

is he looking after himself properly?

10:28 pm

yes, he does take good care of himself - even learned how to prepare decent meals

10:29 pm

wow, good for him. that's not easy when you are starting over again.

10:30 pm

so true - at this age especially, he must have been around 75 +/- when second wife died

10:32 pm

flosey, i have to go for a bit. i need food as i have meds to take. will you be here at the flip?

10:33 pm

no rose, it flips here at 1: am hope I"ll be sleeping by then, perhaps see you tomorrow

10:34 pm

enjoy your dinner, I'm off to find a bite to eat before going to bed

10:34 pm

that will be nice, dear. hope you sleep well.

10:34 pm

thanks rose, bye for now

11:52 pm

11:55 pm
