Yes, please, Car. Her name is Aaliyah and she is critically ill, on a ventilator.

6:18 am

Sure, ivesy.

6:19 am

lol car

6:19 am

How horrible

6:19 am

Love medical things. I don't know why I have such an obsession with them!

6:19 am

ty.. i have been under dr care for two mos. for dizziness.. dr wants to do a cat scan of my head.and insurance wont approve it. is there any way to get them to change their mind

6:19 am

goat

6:20 am

Oh ivesy...I'm sorry they won't cover it. How absolutely stoopid.

6:21 am

i know. dr. cant seem to pinpoint the cause. i have to wear a patch to stop the dizziness.only thing really showin up is a twisted carotid artery

6:21 am

Have you had an eye exam

6:22 am

Go to Dent Institute--specialist will do MRI

6:22 am

yes. eyes change becuz my sugar flucuates

6:23 am

If you see a specialist, the specialist will get approval typically

6:23 am

OK, but nothing else showed up? CArotid artery stenosis / disease can definitely affect the vision, but so can a change in your prescription.

6:23 am

Dent Institute has an office in Orchard Park on Southwestern. They will do an MRI in their own office.

6:24 am

ty scrab will mention this to my dr. well i think she is sending me to neurologist.

6:24 am

Good. That sounds like a great option.

6:24 am

Hope you get it sorted soon ivesy

6:24 am

Dent INstitute is all neurologists.

6:25 am

HOpefully you won't have to wait too long for an appointment.

6:25 am

ok ty. it is very scary not knowing one minute to the next when the dizziness takes over.

6:25 am

I will be thinking of you, Ivesy, and lifting you up as well.

6:25 am

You should get in quickly as they have a huge staff of docs.

6:26 am

ty car.. i beleive going to the neurologist will get it approved

6:26 am

Ivesy, that is where I would go. Please call for an appt this morning.

6:27 am

ty scrab going to go look them up..do i need my drs. approval?

6:28 am

Probably not.

6:28 am

ugh...7:30...time to get the second shift up. HAGD everyone. ((hugs)) all around today.

6:29 am

And I must get going too--must bring garbage and recyclables to end of driveway and then get to work.

I hope your headache goes away soon, medusa

7:26 am

maybe a stupid question, medusa, but do you drink enough? (As in water and tea, not booze)

7:27 am

thanks peri. It is not a bad one, just annoying.

7:28 am

Most of the time. I do wear glasses for close work and really need to get them done but can't do anything at the moment

7:28 am

Is it me or is this grid a nasty one today? I found yesterdays easier and that was a pain

7:37 am

Good Morning - yes todays grid has some big bad teeth......struggling to get half way

7:37 am

yesterday's wasn't too bad for me. This one seems to be tough for its size, usually the big ones are easier.

7:37 am

hiya river

7:38 am

Don't usually get to see you sprite.....your up late

7:38 am

Really fighting with it. Am even getting stuck on the 4 letter words today!

7:38 am

Hi river

7:39 am

I usually play in my morning, yes. Was too tired today though, so went to lie down for a bit and then slept until 1.30 pm! So now indulging in a bit of afternoon babble.

7:40 am

It is 8:40 am here

7:40 am

I got up late today too. Was wondering why then remembered I took a pain pill for my head yesterday evening then another one when I went to bed.

7:41 am

one strategy for this grid might be to add the endings to each and every word, don't be afraid to try. -ing, -ate, -ite, -a, -na, -ish.

7:41 am

I try them all anyway if i see them.

7:41 am

me too

7:42 am

oh and here's a compound combo: ra8/9 will keep you dry outdoors.

7:42 am

Shark is on its way with the cello!

7:48 am

7:49 am

I do.Not sure how to clue it though bichon. Yes please sprite

7:50 am

as9 = as + babies bed + diamond r***

7:50 am

7:50 am

7:51 am

hi folks

12:39 pm

hi peri

12:39 pm

hey peri

12:40 pm

had a little adventure today. went to a neighboring town, lots of nice shops. but I wanted to go to the Free Store. I donated some items there. Will go back again to donate some more. I like this idea better than goodwill stores.

12:42 pm

cr 7/32, pls

12:42 pm

help with st8 pls

12:43 pm

to be sluggish

12:43 pm

peri, is the Free Store similar to the online local Buy Nothing groups, where people in the same neighborhood post stuff to give away, and post 'asking for' ?

12:43 pm

like water full of algae

12:43 pm

is that the st 8 or the cr 7?

12:44 pm

sort of ch 1212.. one can walk in and take what ever you want. You cannot request something. You can donate only what you are able to carry.

12:44 pm

Une - got the 8 - thanks, but don't get the cr clue. Help?

12:44 pm

th 8

12:45 pm

didn't clue a cr7

12:45 pm

cr 7/32, pls

12:45 pm

That is a wonderful idea.

12:45 pm

ty Une for st8

12:45 pm

don't have a cr7 :-)

12:45 pm

I wanted a muffin tin and the only one they had was kind of crappy looking.

12:46 pm

o.k. - I see both clues were for the st8. Thanks.

12:46 pm

it is a great idea. cause there are many people who do not have $ for things especially around the holidays and they had toys there.

12:47 pm

I am missing 4 8's

12:47 pm

Peri, is the store staffed by volunteers then? And is the rent donated?

12:47 pm

staffed by volunteers. they were asking for donations to help pay the rent.

12:47 pm

apparently there are free stores in other towns

12:48 pm

the store was very small and I do not think it has been there long

12:48 pm

lots of people shopping but also others like me donating

12:48 pm

churches also have free stores . . .

12:48 pm

ah... locally, our hardware store owner donated his upstairs attic space for something similar, but items were a flat 25 cents no matter what it was (clothes to tv's).

12:48 pm

none of the churches near me have free stores but they do have thrift stores

12:49 pm

yes is a good deal, ch1212

12:49 pm

that is a good deal, ch1212 and cheers to the hardware store owner

12:50 pm

I got burned donating to one church -- I had brought in a bunch of my mom's clothes . . . . a woman came in and took an armload . . . . right after she left, someone told me she does that all the time and sells the clothes for drugs . . . . bummer

12:50 pm

oh, that is a bummer

12:50 pm

important to have someone from the community to supervise

12:51 pm

I need to find a place to volunteer near my new home.

12:51 pm

soup kitchen?

12:51 pm

gift wrapping for donated Xmas toys etc.?

12:51 pm

no soup kitchens near me but food pantries. need one close to me. will check.

12:52 pm

aaahhh ok

12:52 pm

maybe someplace to volunteer ton Christmas day

12:52 pm

gosh, peri, the options are endless! Whatever you're interested in there is an organization, church, or group who would love to have more volunteers, even if you can only donate 2 hours a month.

12:53 pm

indeed -- volunteers needed in all areas

12:53 pm

I have volunteered in two food pantries in the past few years.

12:53 pm

volunteer to drive elderly to shops? church?

12:54 pm

Most states have a 2-1-1 directory now, so give them a try. Dial 2-1-1 and ask them for options in your area. I run a local online resource directory, and have a page dedicated to volunteer opportunities. Your area might have something similar.

12:54 pm

not really interested in picking up or driving anyone

12:54 pm

I have a friend who regularly picks up ladies to take them grocery shopping

12:54 pm

oh ok

12:54 pm

never heard of calling 211

12:55 pm

taking a break, bbl

12:55 pm

wow -- me either -- will check

12:56 pm

Animal shelters, child care, alternative high schools, ESL, local law enforcement, museums, food banks, soup kitchens, clothing banks, thrift stores, local schools.... sewing groups, reading books for the blind on tape ... you get the idea.

12:56 pm

yes yes yes :-)

1:01 pm

I missed the clue via chat in front of me for the st8?

1:01 pm

nvm

1:01 pm

found it

1:02 pm

male deer+ man's name

1:03 pm

I used to volunteer for TEDI years back ..loved it

1:04 pm

what's that?

1:04 pm

our libraries always need volunteers -- maybe that would interest peri . . . ?

1:04 pm

Telecommunication for the Deaf Incorporated

1:05 pm

I was the go bwtween for the deaf and hearing to be able to talk to each other via phone

1:05 pm

1:06 pm

1:06 pm

and type back to deaf person of course

1:06 pm

cool!

1:07 pm

Never knew Johann Sebastian was a verb.

1:17 pm

1:17 pm

Hi Ruby

1:17 pm

i believe the meaning is "cooking and cleaning for oneself, etc, while a single male (ie bachelor)", nothing to do with Johann Sebastian

1:18 pm

Oh right!

1:18 pm

I'll bet it's not in the OED!

5:31 pm

5:34 pm

5:48 pm

ba7/52......clue please

5:48 pm

ba 7 - gerund the composer!

5:49 pm

tyvm Liz.....never heard of this word before

5:52 pm

please clue as 7/32

5:52 pm

just clued by liz....

5:53 pm

thanks liz!

5:53 pm

yw - very strange word

5:56 pm

We were informed earlier that the composer/gerund word means a man who is spending some time acting single. I'm not buying it though. It's just a weird word.

5:57 pm

Thanks for the info - but definitely just a weird word.

5:59 pm

I can see it being some oddball/slang/made-up word...like...my wife is away this weekend so I'm ba7 around...but it's a stretch when it comes to the English language

6:00 pm

i was surprised to see it in the dictionary...

6:00 pm

That makes sense. Doesn't change my opinion though.

6:02 pm

Then again, snog is accepted here and that is definitely an oddball/slang/made-up word. As is arvo.

6:02 pm

We've often said that there's no explaining Enable!

6:03 pm

As for all the multi-lingual words ... Some are in common English usage but others?

6:04 pm

The other week, looking for the word Daven, which Sprite thought I should know (correctly), it just didn't occur to me to think of looking for that word.

6:04 pm

anyone have a clue for the A words for the A bottom line? under the C?

6:05 pm

One of the most commonly used French words by English speaking people is merci. And yet it is not in the archaic, Enable word list.

6:05 pm

ac 5/12 I think - a + vehicle + vowel

6:05 pm

No explaining it Molly!

6:06 pm

yeah! that was one of them liz. ty.

6:07 pm

yw

6:07 pm

mkg, check the chat; they are listed at 4:51 , 4:51 & 4:59

6:08 pm

Always a good idea to look at the chat if you are a person who wants clues instead of finding the words on your own. There are a ton of clues in chat.

6:08 pm
