Hi and hugs, Rose
{{dee}} {{liz}} hugs to you all
Have you had a good day, Rose?
yes, thanx liz. went over and visited with the grandkiddies. then came back and have been sitting quietly in the aircon.
fireworks
Congrats, Dee :)
WTG DEE!!!
Sounds lovely, Rose. It's been like winter up here but the sun's finally coming out.
ty, rose. What a nice visit you must have had!!
dee, liz, claudia is such a delight. she had been to ballet...omg....i didn't know that they made ballet slippers that small.
and son was pr5ly showing off his man-cave..
That must've been so cute and of course extra special because of your love of ballet.
LOL... precious
* ear-to-ear cheesy grin* yup
Achy jaw muscles tonight
*chuckling* yup, but in a good cause.
son is going to send on a photo of her in her costume for her end of year concert which, unfortunately, was held while we were away.
perhaps someone took a video and some photos
liz, you would appreciate this, knowing don's scottish background. he has just realised how much we can save on the utilities etc if everything is in my name. he is frantically going through all the accounts to see how much we can save.
dee, they did. dvd will be released a little later this year
Aw! Stereotyping again!!!! But any way to save money sounds good!
i told you his latin name, didn't i?
Don't think so.
tite-asa fishus arsis
lolol :)
Or even titus afishusarsis
thought that would make you smile
Certainly did!
well, yeah, but it may have been a tad difficult to read, unless you understood the gist of it
well, all, I am off til the morrow... super busy day tomorrow. Hope you both have a lovely eve / day!!
Was telling hubby about the salubrious pub he booked for you to stay in!!! He said, number 1 rule - own bathroom!
Sleep well, Dee. Hugs.
when i typed it your way, ruru couldn't work it out, but then he was very ti4d that night.
ty, liz, you, too ((((liz))) ((((rose0)))
sweet dreams, my dear. xoxox
I'm sure if he'd been awake, he'd have read it - no problem.
xo
did your hubby have a chuckle?
don did exactly the same thing for our wedding night.
Yup.
You're joking! And you still married him!!!
he has been apologising ever since, even when all i did was fall on the bed, laughing my head off.
Hubby did the same - just once! Surprise weekend in Maldon (where Maldon salts come from). No space to swing a cat in the room - no mirror in room or bathroom and breakfast, which we walked out of before having it, was like a scene out of Fawlty Towers.
Down to the chef running after our car, shouting, I can make your breakfast now!
we spent every afternoon of where we stopped for the night, running into the room to check out the colour of the blankets
At least there was light to see the colour!
Want to find 2 more words before I list.
true.....even if it was a bare bulb in the ceiling only...
There are really some cr** places around. Don't know how they get away with it. Still, most important is that it's clean.
cy 7 pls?
my bro's wife was telling me that when they went overseas she did ALL the accommodation bookings. she said she had the most wonderful holiday....lol
I did ours in the UK too - lovely b & bs.
first cy4, + spanish aunt
I've done NZ too.
That worked! Thanks.
But though I find the accommodation, I don't book unless he likes it too. Real partnership :)
i am thinking when we go back to NZ, we will hire a camper van. we only want to meander around the north island.
We've book a fly/drive. The south island appeals more to us but we're spending time in both but a narrower itinerary in the north.
I'll tell you more about it by email, when we do it.
will look forward to it, liz
Better grid than the last one. Still too many vowels.
strange isn't it? throw a few more consonants into the mix, and the grid is so much better
Help with in 7/8 pls. I guess it's a compound but not seeing it.
add an extra vowel to the resident doctor
Thanks - had the birds with that pattern - didn't think of applying it here.
That's the problem for me with the larger grids - I stop seeing words.
Taking a break. BBL. Hugs, Rose.
cyu later, hin
hi, all. lovely grid! I had a new experience yesterday. I decided to color my hair, and it turned out beautifully. I feel so much better!
ohhhh, angel. could you post a photo? what colour did you decide to be?
ugh....angel has logged off. never mind! i will try to catch her tomorrow morning.
sprite??? will keep checking in to see if you are here...xoxox
hello. yesterday was not a good day but maybe today will be better
awww, my dearest ruby. xoxox my darling. what happened?
It was just bad all around ad I got an enormous additional tax bill, far more than we can pay. It's like a sick joke
oh, my darling...can you organise to pay it off in installments?
we are already paying $633/month and that will only take561 years and that's not including what came yesterday
lolol....then it won't be your problem, ruby.
but when I get these additional letters,it really makes me crazy
ruby, let it go, sweetie. it is not your problem...relax, and breath deeply.
except they keep making awful threats
rites
sorry
lovely ruby...let them threaten...they cannot collect.
bbl, dinner ready
bon appetite, mon amie!
aaaahh!! dinner consumed. and thoroughly enjoyed. lasagne...one of my fave's...so long as it contains pa5. almost 10pm....xoxox sprite....hopefully will catch you at the next flip.
PRIA
SORRY...
good morning everyone:)
morning all
Hi Sprite and Crossy and all :)
Good morning.
hey Liz and sukee *hugs*
How are you today, Sprite?
Hi sukee :)
still sore. Ready to throw this body away and order me a new one :) How about you and your husband and your house?
We're fine. Dining room now finished. Time to start on the hole in the lounge ceiling :) The lounge will be a huge job.
Sorry the body's still sore. Hope you've got a restful weekend in front of you.
yes I have, not much more than laundry and Terra. Good luck with the lounge!
Probably won't start til Monday at the earliest. Tomorrow's house clean day and we're out in the afternoon - nothing exciting but possibly a chance to catch up with a few friends, depending on who turns up.
sounds good, Liz
Perhaps - more of a duty thing but like I said, it depends who turns up!
rone
Sorry - not a word anyway
no. Bad girl.
I have a new one for the babble dictionary. Pa6t - ask forgiveness for something you didn't do. Like giving away a freebie!
You can speak!!!! Your dog's in the grid!!!
lol - good one!
ohhhhhh *shamefaced* Um yeah... um... I beg your pa6t...
;)
is is still so cold in the Netherlands?
it seems to have leveled out somewhat. Not as icy.
Turned cold here (relatively speaking) yesterday and today but it won't stay this way for long. Really hot and no doubt humid forecast for Tuesday.
why no doubt?
I guess because it's a bit stormy at the moment and it's been humid! Relief yesterday and today not to be sweaty.
yeah I would really dislike living somewhere hot and humid. Wears me down to nothing.
I've almost finished the Last Herald Mage!
We have perhaps a month of humidity over the summer - but not all at once.
oh wow :) Van is a darling, isn't he... but so troubled.
a month is doable. We usually have that here as well. Probably not as hot but I guess just as humid.
Very true. I love all the characters. But I know there's a sad ending coming :(
yeah :( But you know Lackey by now... trust her to not make you feel rotten at the end of the book.
Of course - and I know how Van will come back later on.
:D
hello, anybody here?
Hi and hugs Ruby. Sorry to read that the US govt is still giving you such a ridiculously hard time.
aah, I never know what time it is until I come into the chog
no, it is just our spirits who are chatting here, ruby dear
I'm better today, but really had a bad day yesterday
*hugs ruby*
Glad that today's better. How are Rafie's eyes?
She is letting me put the ointment in and she is starting to heal, I think. She will be gorgeous once she heals.
good to hear
she is really a lovely dog
If you get a moment, I'd love to see a pic of the newly shorn and eyelash fluttering dog.
Just found my last 8. I'd missed a plural :(
lol. I still need 7 more! Am slow as usual with the biggies.
she's not doing a lot of fluttering yet, but looks very different with squinty eyes. And the vet cut out the huge, moist clumps of fur that had accumulated in her wet neck.
Yeah but I babbled for a while earlier on.
Unfortunately, she hacked off the "yak" fur on the back end, so I'll have to work on fixing that
Bet she feels much better for all that.
I have no biggies or even nbt.
It's funny, because that's what DIL said. But I don't think the pup even noticed, just is glad to be home
That I'm sure of.
Although Raffie is pretty smart for a chow, I| don't think she does a lot of "thinking". |It's all just intuitive.
Rufe, however, who is less smart, is the all-time-best cuddler. Unfortunately, he tries to lick her stitches and I can't dissuade him(or separate them)
Sounds like they're good friends.
Love cuddly dogs.
I think they ove eCH OTHER AND SLEEP SIDE-BY-SIDE, SOMETIMES EVEN TOUCHING
whoops, errant pinkie strikes again
Really cute. I love the dog pic you sent.
But think about an 80+ lbs cuddly dog, especially when he gets on my lap
pics!
I saw the pic of one of the dogs swamping you :)
and that's when he was 3 months' old!
A Facebook friend of mine has a Great Dane who thinks he is a lap dog.
That's another big dog to have as a lap dog.
I can picture that, Sukee.
I'm giving up for tonight. 35 left for tomorrow. Enjoy your days, everyone. Hugs
woopie got the 9
night.
bye Liz, sleep well, hugs for you both.
{{liz}} I hope you don't mind beiginundated with pix, but DIL showed me how to do it and I have to keep practicing.
No probs, Ruby. They make me smile.
please send them to me as well, ruby
will do, sprite
:D
Morning kittens
meow,pip
hi pippin
Good morning.
aah, and Sprites pup is in the grid
Hi! Lots of folks up and at it now!
so he is, ruby :)
I'm over halfway through without hints or list, but struggling now. I shall have to go to the list soon. If I only had the nine, I'd be nbt nbthingy
do you want a clue, matty?
Oh yes please (I'll tell myself that's not cheating as I've not yet gone to the list)... :)
it is not cheating at all :) The 9 are little Spanish misses.
If getting clues is cheating, then 95% of the people here cheat
I would love stats for the 8's and 9; at least I'd know where to look
Ty Molly
Um, I mean thank you Sprite :)
Atalante told me, when I was still a tiny babbler, that looking up the actual words is cheating... the rest is research!
Fabuloso - thankee kindly (which also gave me a whole load of Ss I was missing)
and the SP mister, 3 for 1
ty sprite
yvw sukee ;)
my pleasure
That gave me 5 words.
"Research" covers so many things : D
it sure does :)
I'm not stalking you, I'm doing "research" : D
"o your personal habits" (I think I watch too many police programs
I rarely search for words unless I'm down to the last 2 or 3 and am desperate.
and I don't use lists but try to find patterns in a2z. So many ways to play this game!
I don't read over the entire chat for clues, I'm doing "research" : D
yay, half and time for the nyt puzzles
enjoy, ruby
see you later, kids
bye ruby
boy, just playing more frequently again my vocab has jumped back up and my ability to see words has skyrocketed. this really is so much about practice
Another huge grid!
I totally agree, pippin
yes scrabs, you won't be bored all day!
hey Scrabs :) *hug*
I have to go to work soon and see lots of sick kids--colds, coughs, sore throats, and anxious mamas.
awww :( You stay healthy, Scrabs
Tomorrow is 3 wks since I started coughing.
oh dear scrabs
:(
I am improving. I had laryngitis for one week.
*sends healing vibes to Scrabs*
One of my partners has been ill with this too.
just keep on with the rest and fluids and healthy food/vite intake
I feel ok mostly.
Vitamin D is the superhero!
yay for vites! i live for my vitamin c, raw garlic, fresh juice, and homemade cough syrup with cider vinegar, honey, cayenne, ginger, and turmeric
oh, have been meaning to tell you, Scrabs... I always take vitD and still I have a severe deficiency. So low they couldn't measure it accurately. I now am to take vitD combined with calcium.
(it sounds gross but i quite like it)
I started using an Advair inhaler and that has helped with the bronchospasm.
good. steroids scare me, but when you need them you need them
I tried cider vinegar last year but couldn't drink it.
this is better because it's not just one thing, the honey helps
LOng- term steroids = bad side effects. Short-term = beneficial!
well and i work in glaucoma, even short term steroids are scary for eye pressure, but that's not a normal environment
My youngest sister has glaucoma and has had resistant iritis for 6 mo, so she needed to use Predforte eye drops short-term.
Note to self: add an S to every word.
ugh, iritis can be terrible. yeah, sometimes the inflammation is a greater danger than the steroid response, and it depends on where people are at with the disease progression and the pressure and all that
absolutely, scrabs, i have noticed that today
and toward the bottom try an er combo too
My sister has normal-pressure glaucoma so it is now thought that the iritis triggered glaucoma. Anyway, a month of systemic NSAID treatment with Voltaren has gotten rid of the iritis as of Thursday.
en
en
that's great to hear!
en?
am glad to hear that, Scrabs. Hope she will recover fully.
But the COX inhibitors/NSAIDS have bad side effects.
I started to type en5 into the chatlog.
it's true, it seems like there's no treatment that doesn't mess with you long term
I told her to read about an antiinflammatory diet.
Well, I found 80 and must get ready for work. I have to leave in 15 min.
hope it's a good day dear
bye scrabs
Oh geez, on the INs now - I hate vowel words. I say this nearly every day
all but one of them have the same first 5 letters
today's i's are really straightforward :-)
i just got most of them
Yep, slowly finding them
are you listing?
I am now, yes - started on the list about 10 minutes ago
made it much easier to suss out where to look and not look
Every time it bugs me that the very thing we are using to play this game online doesn't exist in the ancient Babble Enable dictionary
oh, that it rage inducing
Imagine how hard it is for people who actually think that "selfie" and "noob" are words : D
is
do you mean to tell me they're not, molly?!?
don't think babble even takes "tech"!
back in a bit . . .
oof, my couch is chilly today. quite a draft from the window
gm, everyone! help with the st7/36 plz?
nm, found it
sorry lb, not there yet
tadone! finito! st7/8 and ts7/8 combos slowed me down, but otherwise a fun grid.
well played!
so not a mo7 like yesterdays's?
ty, any clues wanted before i head off for a shower? no, most of today's are familiar and not too twisty
I wouldn't mind a nudge on the jo5/22 and possibly related jo6/36
jo + male sheep
Thankee kindly
yvw
finised. Need clues?
whooo hoooo Bubba!
well done bubba
hi bubba. congrats...would you mind cluing 247 words, oh never mind
good morning
Dawg any chance of a clue for the ts7 please
cute, annie
how are you this chilly morn?
Hi pip
Hello, Aniie & everyone :-)
annie*
hi zoozzoom
Russian king + mr delouise
Im wearing a flannel robe to keep the chill away, how are you pip? Was your haircut okay for the interview? I know it was a while ago but how did it go?
Hi zooz :)
i'm wearing warm socks and sweater, apartment is cold today!
Mornin' kids
first interview was a bust, but i didn't like the school so much it turned out
one down
Woke up late this morning, didn't want to go out into the cold for walkies
Hi bichon :)
Thank you, Bubba had to google mr deluise to get it..lol
the second interview is my dream school, i loved it so much, and it felt great, but i may not hear till january. crossing lots of appendages and praying
I had my microwave for 28 and 1/2 years and it died yesterday (((
my mother actually has an entire convent praying for me, it's very sweet. still working and studying hard, trying to make the thing happen
geek, Oh good luck! You would be an asset anywhere.
RIP
so sad, bichon! the good news is now they are much smaller, cheaper, and faster
Wow thought mine was a long time of 17 years, Bichon.Mine has a long way to beat your record.Still going strong though :-)
Yes, I imagine in that span of time a lot has happened. It won't come til Mon. How can I live without one til then?
I have entire convents praying for me too, but for different reasons : )
LOL Molly
that's because you have a lot more fun that we do molly
Mis-spent youth : D
Were you a holy terror?
lol
Holy terror? Well the nuns that taught me would tell you I was.
terror, yes, but there was nothing holy about it
(is what i imagine they would say)
Could never imagine, Molly being a little terror :-)
Yay below the 100 mark now!
it's certainly what they would have said about me had i been as self-possessed as a child as i am now
nicely done zzoom!
Thanks! just need to find the other 99 now..lol
i was far too cowed by my parents to misbehave anywhere near as much as i wanted, but it was always in my head
I had my moments, but over all, I was pretty tame
I had to be in bed by 6pm up untill I was fourteen.It was silly.there were kids about 7 outside playing when I had to goto bed..lol
Wow, that is strict. Doubt that would happen in today's world
that's more strict than us, wow. we were up later than that because we had to have time for dinner and homework after nightly swim practice, but bed was early early
and when we were out playing dad would call us in by blowing on his boatswain's whistle, which you could hear throughout the neighborhood, and we had to stop whatever we were doing and go home right away
geek, if you were in bed by 6, what time was dinner served
and what time did you wake up?
Dinner was always at 4pm
got up every day at 6am (often to the sound of dad blowing reveille on a bugle) and did situps and pushups together as a family in my parents' bedroom
I woke up about 6am
military families are weird
Gosh sounds like a strict excercise regime!
You slept for 12 hours? That's a lot of sleep for an older child
i will say i was in amazing shape as a kid. i could do situps and pushups for days, and won the under-12 age group in a 10-k race when i was 7
Nothing else to do, Bichon..had no TV in the bedroom...Did read books though.Which I still enjoy!
I was confused. Zooz was in bed by 6pm. zooz, was yours a military family?
zooz got 12 hours of sleep, mine was the military family
No i think as my mother had six of us..She was just knackered and tried to balance everything out untill my step-dad came along :-)
geek, were you brought up on a military base?
we moved a lot, but i lived on a couple
zooz, and then, after your step-dad came along??
Wow just read your won a 10k race at 7. that is really good, pip!
Stayed up untill about 10:30pm, Annie.He said it is daft keeping a teenager in his bedroom at such an early time.
I still love my parents though :-)
Good for him! and you, of course.
they do crazy things, but they love us the only way they know how, and they try to make a good life for us
Ditto, Pip!
agree, geek
As a teen I WANTED to go to my room that was where all the books were and my little transistor radio:))
i went through my time of hating my folks, and things are still tough with my dad, because he's just tough to love, but my mum and i are actually incredibly close now, like we talk almost daily and we're probably one another's closest friends now
Hello, Crossy :-)
howdy, zooz:)
yes, my room was my safe place away from the drama!
hiya crossy
what's for brekky?
Howdy, Pippen:)
Mushroom/cheese omelette
sounds lovely
sorry it hasn't any bacon
Only not liked my real father, Pip, as he was a wife & kid beater but when my step-father cam onto the scene we all got even closer.Still see them nearly everyday!
ooh I could do with a mushroom & cheese omelette, Crossy yum yum!
bacon is too expensive at the moment:((
Not just two slices from the butcher?
I refuse to pay $6 for 3/4 of a pound of bacon:(
two slices is just a tease
ouch, that is terrible
Sounds about the same price as here.
now i am hungry. crossy always makes me hungry
1 year ago it used to be $3 for just over a pound, about 500g
even when you're not actively talking about food, you just make me think of food, it's downright pavlovian
I know he does coo some amazing foods and then decides to tell us all about it..lol
cook*
I am bad.. Did I tell you the cheese I am using is aged, extra-old apple wood smoked heaven?
The eggs are right from the farm and brown double-yolkers
Sorry not listening..lala la la la la..lol
cooked in creamery butter of course, none of that margerine that is nothing but a chemical shit-storm:)
clue for cy 7 please
served with crunchy toasted english muffins with apple jelly
cy + most of the little carpet outside your front door + 3rd+1st vowel.
With all the bad publicity margarine has gotten, I'm surprised anyone still uses it. Or those "butter substitutes" which are as bad or worse.
Yup. Butter is back!
ty zooz
Tried that ' I can't believe it's not butter' once...Disgusting stuff.
it is half water, zooz. I end up with soggy toast whn I use that stuff
Threw it away, Crossy.Just the once used was enough for me.
I have an antique "Beater-jar" and when the mood strike me, I make my own butter
Hello, Mlf.
i use the chicken fat i collect when i make stock. silky and seasoned, absolutely delicious
ty zoo great clue
Welcome, Matches :-)
And hey, read the ingredients on "Smart Balance" and tell me how "smart" that is.
Smart balance? looks like google is about to come in handy again..back in a tick.
or that Kashi cereal.. stuff is full of fraken-crops
franken*
grains genetically created in a Petri dish:(
veg roasted in chicken fat with a little homemade stock is about the best thing ever
sounds interesting, but my heart stopped at the thhough of spreading it on toast, pippin
lol
oh. yeah, i don't really eat toast.
but it makes a damn tasty omelet
Pro-activ might be its UK brand name here, Molly by flora I think.
Bread and crusty buns are my weakness:(
4th column R?
and it melts easier than butter, so definitely more spreadable
I used to love dripping on toast..lol
I also switched to Daisy brand sour cream. Why? One ingredient. Grade A cultured cream.
I still use saved bacon fat for fry-up from time to time
only should be two ingredients on a tub of sour cream: cream and bacterial culture. period.
never mind
mlfan - to attempt once more
That would be great for a bubble & squeak, Crossy.
make amazing bubble and squeak:)
what's in bubble and squeak?
(sorry, ignorant american)
nbt
i know it has sausage, i think
tater, tomatos, any leftover bits from the night before: some times sausages, and the like, with a couple of over easys on the side
My da used to add kippers
Well my mothers used to be sliced up roast potatoes, bacon, cabbage, cauliflower etc all fried in a pan with some bacon fat. It was all the old spare cooked food from the day beore, Pippin.Really tastey!
Basically heart-attack-in-a-pan:)
yum
Tasty*
yup, whatever is leftover:)
but i love it
except for the kippers, can't get on board there
LOL yes you are right, Crossy.But what a way to go..lol
the "squeak" is from the sound tomatoes make when they are in amongst the fry-ups:)
add you bacon fat and really put the heat to her and dump it all in and fry for ten minutes:)
does the mo8 extend from another mo word?
Did not know that was why it was called Squeak!
hi fan, mo8 is a plural of the one who gets up on a horse
there are 2 mo7-8 combos
Yup, the tomatoes make a lovely squeaking sound when fried:)
yes, geek, I only have the one
ty pipping and annie
Or the other mo8 is a scary thing with a vowel on the end.
ty zooz
Im going to try and make Bubble and Squeak this week. Love the name
thanks zooz
You will love it, Annie...I am drooling now just talking about it..lol
if using bacon fat, about a tbs is enough annie :)
Molly, did you mention Smart Balance. I usually use it
and leftover roasted taters are best
thanks zooz and crossy.
zooz i got the mo 7/8 single and plural scary thing
si 6/18 and si 7/28 clue please
As I said in the chog the other day, I sometime pre-make roasted taters just to have on hand for breakfasts
Nice one, Mlf!
clue for the 9 please?
I cook ten or 12 in the roasting pan with onions and beef stock;)
That's it I need to grab some food. BBL
me too, be back soon
lol, sorry zooz:))
There has always been cabbage in the bubble and squeak I've had. Good stuff.
I can never recall a time when we had any cabbage leftover:(
spanish misses mlf.
You gotta love the Scots, they call it Rumbledethumps.
ty for the spanish ladies
ty miuxi
and of course the spanish gentleman to squire them around

To bury (beginning with 's') and plural
Any clues for mo 7/40

gran, was my clue unhelpful?
MO + letter + name for donkey.
Then add the sometimes vowel for the 7
it is a 6-7 combo
Although I still think, Pippingeek's clue was a great one!
Yes
a greater amount of rear end? i treid with that one...

I always have to copy those emoticons and paste them in a notepad to see what they are. Chat just posts them as a wavy equal sign
Good one!
I used to be able to have lots of emoticons in my posts years ago..but for some reason this stupid computer does not let me put them in the chat log.As they do not come out right.
Ooooh...MO 6/21....great word...also could be a prostitute...

Add a letter for the 7, Car :-)

Hi TO
Hello again to others I saw this morning
I am utterly overwhelmed by the clutter in my house. I haven't even gotten one room finished and decorated :(
hi, car. my clutter is temporarily under control but i have no gifts headed to mall today but t sick to stay
Oh no!
{{TO}}
And I just got a text...neighbors xmas party is today...her son is very excited to see my son, etc. Sigh...now I have to get everyone cleaned up and dressed.
aw, i will be ok. i have to; my freezer is full of 13o0pizza rolls for tonight's christmas dance.
Is that 1300?!?!?!
ooh, i know that feeling! No, no, 130 lol
Whew
trying t figure out how to do this. perhaps make them now then heat them to transport later?
i think it will take 2 -4 batches to cook them.
do they get soggy?
How do you transport that many and how do you keep them warm from your place to the event?
phantom: spasm
Owl, can you heat the rolls at the dance? Do they have a kitchen there?
and hello everyone
Hi Annie
Hi car. Im reading that you have a busy day today.
Its turning into a stupid day. :(

That's life Car.
I know. I know.
I just read you have a party tonight. Not in your schedule, is it?
hi hego :)
man plans, God laughs.
Hi Annie
No, it actually wasn't. We were supposed to go to Rhode Island and then that got canceled, so I just never put the party back on my radar.
hysterically I think.
Need to get mom out of the shower so I can go buy a hostess gift.

Hi mimi!
Mom is out of the shower..off I go.

Hi Mimi amd geek :)
Hi mimi
Getting a late start today with the grid. Spent the morning cleaning up computer files and it's a CHORE.
Anyone in need of clues?
Hi, pip and Annie!
Hi, car!!!
ugh. . . . not a chore i would willingly do mimi
Glad to hear it, jmc!
I am hunting down notes to study statistics and am taking a break after a quiz
I have the next two weeks off since the doc I transcribe is on vacation. SOOO many household chores and projects to attend to!
ooooo two weeks off sounds good right now
go pippin go!
stats for one of the U's please
Both un5
This is my first day off and not planning to do anything much at all today but rest and enjoy, play some games and cook a bit.
ty pippin
jmc both un's are 5/12

ty annie
Yep...need to regroup..had a very negatively emotional week due to my middle child (30 yrs. old this month). Really took me down for a couple of days.
seems like i have unmatted my hair a million times. . . :(
got one
nbt
what was the name of the prissy woman on Ro**er Room? Anyone remember?
back. i just bought a new computer.
good for you, Owl. What brand?
congrate TO! how exciting! what you get?
miss frances. she was not prissy, she was motherly!
What does it run, TO? I'm loving my Windows 8.1.
haha i couldn't stand her even then. . . not like my mother!
i bought the dell from QVC. i like that it had a hard drive and a dvd drive.
it runs 8.1 and most importantly comes with a back door to tech support
my old one came from there in 2008
I had a Dell and it ran fine but when I did need tech support it was a nightmare trying to talk to techs in India...took them forever to help. Plus--when you need to replace something you can only order from Dell as they configure theirs so no other manufacturer's merchandise will fit.
well not like mine, either. but like moms on tv back in the day
I also bought my Dell on QVC--small world.
good thing i wasn't a kid on tv then. . . i probably would have kicked her. . . .
the tech support was very good, as i remember.
but then again, many years ago
nice to see you, it has been a while.
This new one is HP...tech support is in the Philippines...wish they'd bring these jobs home.
good to see you too TO
I needed to speak to someone at Amazon. Got this polite man from India but it was a awful trying to decipher what he was saying.
well americans want 24/7 service and few are willing to work those hours here. . .
I need an editor but you know what I mean.
I also speak to many Amazon reps all over the world and mostly it's OK. But when I have an issue that's hard to explain, I ask to be transferred to the U.S.
Gonna go for now...haven't eaten yet today and feeling kind of peckish. Have a good one, all...later.
did someone offer suggestions on whether to cop and reheat? only need to be warm, will transprt in cooler to keep warm. i did not want to cook and they were on sale. mst folks love pizza rolls
bye Mimi, have a peaceful day
Owl, It was me. I was asking if there was a kitchen where the dance is being held. You can heat the rolls there.
no
bye mimi
maybe a 25 minute drive. they will be gbbled up
gobbled, that is.
absolutely.
they should stay warm enough in a cooler
okay i am off to get ready for boy to come and help trim the tree. . . bbl maybe
bye, jmc...have fun
bye, jmc
so should i make them now and reheat?
I would make them as late as possible.
oh heck, i saved $ but will lose time. great
24 left for later
bye, annie
Hi and good almost evening
Hi there Bich
Hi Molly, just getting to half way
hi all, h elp with am6 pls
hi Peri...get on a horse
ty
or the sum total of somethiing
Back for my last 237 words.
36 left here, hi Scrabbs
Hi Scrabs
Did you work today?
I worked from 830-230 and am on call til 0800 on Monday.
Sounds like a bear
Anxious mamas and kids that are mildly ill.
That would have been me
As soon as we see a baby or young kid smile we know they are fine.
Mine were always dreadfully sick until they got to the doctor's office
Haha. I think sick kids just need to get out of the house.
Probably, at least I don't have that any more
But now my daughter calls me up for my medical advice
She should go to her doc's website or a book.
No, I just Google it.
My doctor says she wishes no one could "Google" health issues.
True, but she believes me more that the doctor
http://www.medicalhomeportal.org/
Reliable resources must be used to educate, then the doctor must diagnose and treat the serious stuff.
One frustrating thing for her is that she is adopted and her birth mother refused to update any medical information.
Someday every newborn will have their genome tested and indexed.
She had gestational diabetes and wanted to know if anyone else in her family did
That's a big someday
Gestational DM is not uncommon.
She has PSOD and I would thinks that's the problem. She conceived by taking Metformin. I wish she's still take it
Does she see an endocrinologist?
No, but she won't listen to me. Even when she asks for advice aout her daughter, she never follows it.
Too bad.
You would think.
Denial is powerful, but it is not an effective life strategy.
lots of denial in my family
No, but she thinks with her heart
help with re6/18 pls
She was great about giving herself insulin during prognancy
I have no re's
re + ri4
Every morning the sun reri**s.

Stupid word.

Enjoy, Peri.

I need to go feed the bunnies. They are tossing their salad plates around. The rebellion has begun.

hi, all. Such sadness for someone I love. My cousin was recently married and was on his honeymoon in Cozumel, Mexico. He and his bride were experienced divers, and were on a dive on Monday. She became ill, and swam to the surfAce of the water. She died in my cousin's arms, of a bleed in her liver. Today would have been her birthday.
