4:54 am

whoot!! i completely forgot. how did it go??

4:55 am

it was very quiet, apparently most people were sound asleep still. Got a few phonecalls from people with a psychiatric affliction. Not the easiest of conversations, but I was able to give them a sense of being heard and validated, at least.

4:56 am

good for you sprite. first time is not the easiest. but you did it.... whoop! whoop ! whoop !

4:57 am

hehehe thanks darling. You really cheer me on :D And up, too. My night was bumpy, what with the fireworks and the ptsd and all. Am gonna take a nap this afternoon, and then tonight Rob and I will take a boat tour through Amsterdam. It is the Light Festival, so all kinds of light artworks to be admired.

4:58 am

4:58 am

how lovely sprite. take pics please.

4:58 am

4:58 am

lolll. i wish you had been here this morning and heard the conversation between myself and my beloved

5:10 am

ouija

5:10 am

5:10 am

and uranus is a phantom

5:11 am

dingdingding rose wins the *hug* for the ouija board. But the planet is Saturn.

5:11 am

5:14 am

5:15 am

5:21 am

*rolls eyes* yeah i know... you should have heard the convo about the washing. he is so lucky to be still breathing.

5:22 am

men can be so thick! *sigh*

5:23 am

wednesday night i did all the washing so he could hang it out early the next morning before it became too hot. when he asked the next morning do you want me to hang out the washing? i couldn't resist... no dear leave it in the baskets until tomorrow when it is cooler.

5:24 am

he stormed out of the room only to reappear a few moments later to say...you know? it's really hard to slam a sliding door.

5:25 am

rofl. i wonder if it ever occurs to them (men) how silly we see them when they do and say things like that.

5:26 am

i know... and where would we be without them?? God Bless 'em !!

5:26 am

I'd be a bit saner, but yeah, they are good for comic relief!

5:27 am

*giggles* tr4

5:27 am

now lbdawger, how are you doing??

5:28 am

I'm doing well, had a sleep in...up at 4 instead of 3.

5:28 am

any more news on your work insurance?

5:29 am

*explosive snort* you need one of my overnight infusions. nothing yet. we are going to a General Dispute panel, and i have to go before another medical panel to establish what % of disability i have been left with.

5:32 am

Geez, you'd think that they would resolve the fact that you are disabled and move on! I know you wont get 100% but what do you think it should be?

5:32 am

doc has found out i have torn and retracted tendons in both hips, probably due to the fall. workcover have approved the funds for an ortho consult re this.

5:33 am

i feel i am now well over the 75%. my hips are pure agony. i am actually considering using bilateral crutches to walk.

5:33 am

well, i hope you get more than just a consult.

5:34 am

the treatment for the bursitis will never work until the tendons have been repaired/debrided.

5:35 am

have you talked with a physical therapist?

5:35 am

Ugh, bursitis. had that and pt was painful and delightful.

5:35 am

i am so glad i didn't rush into the autologous platelet injections. they were very expensive, almost $1000 out of pocket expense

5:36 am

my pt tried to help me...but i have gone beyond getting up at 6am every day to attend the hydro sessions.

5:38 am

did the pt say anything about crutches or any other prosthetic to help you walk?

5:40 am

lololol about the crutches. already thought of them on my own. also a friend has offered me her dad's old walker, on wheels.

5:42 am

Good morning, happy new year!

5:42 am

the walker means i would have a seat whenever i needed it too

5:42 am

happy new year, Sukee

5:42 am

A walker is good, I have one.

5:42 am

{{hugs}} and good morning sukee. and a very Happy new Year to you too. xoxox

5:43 am

My dad had a walker like that. if you get one make sure you get it sized right for you. otherwise you're back is going to hurt.

5:43 am

I was hoping for a bigger grid today, oh well.

5:44 am

lbdawger, hubby is very fussy about that sort of detail. he will make sure it is right for me.

5:44 am

And, if it's like Canada, you can probably get the government to pay for some of the cost.

5:47 am

Think I am going to have to list early today.

5:55 am

just bought tickets to see star wars. Christmas gift for Hubz.

5:55 am

Cool, I haven't seen it yet.

5:58 am

he wanted to see it on the big screen. I'm not a big fan, liked the first 3 the second 3 eh.

5:58 am

I'm the same, haven't liked any movies since the original 3

5:59 am

Listed, only found a few obvious words :)

6:03 am

can i help you sukee?

6:03 am

here to help if needed or wanted. how was your new year's eve, sukee? the explosions started around 6pm here and lasted until around 11:00

6:03 am

It was very quiet, I watched some TV and then went to bed to read. I didn't hear any noise at all :)

6:04 am

Would love a clue for the sa 6/21

good morning jm

10:55 am

'morning everyone

10:55 am

hi welki . . . happy new year!

10:56 am

same to you, jmc :)

10:56 am

hi welki.. my vet is going to get back to me with locations for you

10:58 am

stats for the corner E please. . . .

10:58 am

thanks - i left a message for you in chat a few days ago. we're trying one last diet, a different royal canin - anallergenic, a bit different than the venison HP, and he's back on antibiotics and increased vanectyl. the vet read about CADI - thinks it might address the actual itching, more than the cause of it. but he's also asking his Pfizer contact about it

10:58 am

EN 5/12

10:58 am

ty . . . .

10:58 am

(and if you thought the venison is expensive, this will make your eyes pop)

10:58 am

hi ruru and welki, happy new year :D

10:59 am

hey, kate - and happy new year to you

11:00 am

I read it.. but here's the deal Welki... it's nearly impossible to get to the cause of the allergy. I have spent thousands trying to find it. You can do allergy testing.. but you'd find like me he's allergic to a million things... by eliminating 85-90% of the itchiness you can eliminate secondary issues

11:00 am

I tried that diet.. but Dylan threw it up ..

11:01 am

hi TK..long time no see

11:02 am

nbt

11:02 am

nbs

11:02 am

the vet agrees, partly - and is ready to concede that it's not a food issue (after we try this last ditch diet). he also agrees about the testing, said we could bring bax to the dermatologist/allergist, but it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack. (in retrospect, i should have saved the $$ on the vet visit and just waited to speak to you - but he was sooooo uncomfortable.)

11:02 am

i am off to get ready for a party. . . bbl probably. . . . 15 left. . . .

11:03 am

my vet is recommending a food change to kangaroo now.. jesus save me.

11:03 am

I've been busy and lurking.. you both have doggie troubles?

11:03 am

BYe jmc

11:03 am

have fun, jmc!

11:04 am

I did the skin testing.. and Dylan was allergic to mold, grasses, dust, olive trees, pollen, wheat, etc.

11:04 am

i've read about kangaroo dog food - there's one that's grain free and has lentils

11:04 am

Am I supposed to drive around Napa and whack down all the olive trees?

11:04 am

yes, kate - we have itchy scratchy pups

11:05 am

poor things!

11:05 am

paul simon can tweak his song and re-make it as 'the dog in the bubble'

11:05 am

it's impossible to figure out what the core issue is. I saw a dermatologist and spent a fortune that left me back in the same place I am. This new drug is a game changer for me. He's actually 60-80 more comfortable

11:06 am

and it doesn't suppress the immune system as other drugs do

11:06 am

what i don't quite understand is how the allergies morph into bacterial infections - is it from the scratching?

11:06 am

it's from scratching and rubbing

11:07 am

you must be tearing your hair out in frustration...

11:07 am

yes.. they pick up pyaderma (sp?) which makes them even itchier

11:07 am

would a human oatmeal bath help? just as a stop-gap?

11:07 am

they pick up staph and in Dylan's case yeast

11:08 am

kate, i think ru's dylan was suffering more than my guy, but yes, it's really frustrating

11:08 am

it's extremely frustrating.. and hugely challenging.

11:08 am

that's why I'm trying to help Welki

11:09 am

only my pet-sitters know the lengths I go to for this dog

11:09 am

difficult for me, too, because i have another dog. baxter is 100% on this diet now, which means no treats for either of them - and it's really difficult to give meds without something wrapped around them

11:09 am

that's 4 dogs I have heard of very recently that have developed weird allergies...all trying different drugs/food etc.

11:09 am

my local grocery store thinks I have a meth lab I buy so much benedryl for Dylan :D

11:10 am

yeah, i stock up on benadryl, too

11:10 am

I give meds in chunks of banana welki

11:10 am

how else you gonna pay the vet bills ruru? LOL

11:10 am

no treats

11:10 am

ahh, that's a good idea. better than cheese

11:11 am

better and easier to insert the pill

11:11 am

good thing about bax is that, if i offer a piece or two of kibble, he thinks it's a special treat - and boyhowdy, does that food stink!

11:11 am

I'm hoping there's a clinic in northern Montana for you

11:11 am

oh.. it smell AWFUL.. makes me puke

11:12 am

smells

11:12 am

i'm hoping that my vet can convince pfizer to run a trial up here

11:12 am

Gottta go make some tea and get my peeepers working, very tired today.

11:12 am

my vet has more than 20 dogs on this drug and it's worked for all of them

11:12 am

but then - there's always (a little) hope that this new diet will work

11:12 am

glad it's a smalll grid :)

11:13 am

so why so many doggies with allergies now...genetics ie. bad breeding? environmental?

11:15 am

i checked with the breeder - no allergies in the past with any of her dogs. only issue was with her very first golden, decades ago, and it wasn't an allergy, but an autoimmune condition

11:15 am

back soon I hope, but it could be a quiet day in babbleland ..

11:15 am

breeding is often a crap shoot. some times it is perfect and amazing and sometimes it doesn't work out

11:15 am

Dylan's Mom has similar issues.. but none of the previous litters had an issue with itchiness.

11:16 am

Dylan's father never had a hot spot in his life.. not once

11:16 am

well, I hope they get your pups sorted out quickly (and cheapky)

11:16 am

thanks, kate

11:16 am

My last dog was perfect. Never an issue and a long life

11:16 am

thanks kate. I'm doing all I can for him

11:16 am

did you get a new place yet ruru?

11:17 am

no.. nothing on the market right now with the holidays

11:17 am

the flippers have elevated prices so I'm waiting for things to calm down

11:17 am

nothing new that is

11:18 am

i hope something turns up soon. It would be nice to get you into your forever home...

11:20 am

thanks for looking into the CADI clinics, ru - i've got to get moving here. hope 2016 brings everyone good things.

11:21 am

bbl, take care in 2016

11:23 am

yes.. that would be nice TK.. I am hoping to find something

11:27 am

if Howie can find his home of his dreams, so can you! Lucky you aren't under any time pressure

11:29 am

back in a while, take care every9one!

12:37 pm

anus tagging sounds interesting

12:37 pm

2Bit, what's with all the cold all of a sudden. Are we actually going to have "winter". I thought we might have bypassed it.

12:37 pm

srsly

12:37 pm

that was California's new year's resolution Molly to send the cold weather back east where it belongs

12:38 pm

Adult Party Game: Pin The Tail On The Anus

12:38 pm

back! whew . . . multi-tasking -- putting away inside Xmas decorations, doing post-Xmas guest laundry, taking down outside Xmas decorations . . .

12:39 pm

My New Year's hope is that people actually start spelling out entire words. *HOPE*

12:39 pm

wow -- workers toiling away next door in spite of holiday

12:40 pm

it is quite possible that I could seriously spend the time to elaborately include all the letters in each word I provide typographically :-)

12:40 pm

amazing house going up -- family demo'd little house and cut down 14 trees . . . . in order to build their 5000 sq ft dream house

12:40 pm

I have un-decked the halls, Une. I put my decorations up a week earlier than I usually do and it was really time for them to go back into storage.

12:41 pm

falalalala la la la laAAAA

12:41 pm

beautiful house but jeezomeez -- on 100 x 200 lot

12:42 pm

I feel like I'm in the dollhouse next door LOL

12:42 pm

it's not about the yards anymore une

12:42 pm

Small is beautiful

12:42 pm

I know -- teeny yards and mega houses

12:43 pm

firewords! ha4/10 pilgrimage was my last - tx all cluers

12:43 pm

congrats, dan!!

12:44 pm

looking forward to New Year's brunch with some friends soon

12:45 pm

Ru, it's unfa-unla-unla when you are undecking the halls.

12:49 pm

Ru is still in brunch time, meanwhile I have a killer pot of black-eyed peas going that will accompany a pork tenderloin and fried cabbage and onions. Too bad I don't have any creamery butter.

12:49 pm

omg just heard that Natalie Cole died :-(

12:50 pm

oh.. that sounds delicious molly

12:50 pm

I've got tenderloins too.. fried cabbage I've never done.. how do you do it?

12:51 pm

yes.. she's been ill for a while une

12:51 pm

that

12:51 pm

that's what the article said -- but only 65 . . .

12:51 pm

Une, I was floored when I read that Natalie Cole died. Ru, I just chop the cabbage and sauté it up with some onions. Sometimes chopped ham, but there is ham in the black-eyed peas.

12:52 pm

I like to toss some dried cranberries in my sauteed cabbage

12:52 pm

oh that sounds good too

12:53 pm

you mean craisins :D

12:53 pm

it is :-)

12:53 pm

LOL

12:55 pm

Oh there you go, brand crazed Americans, calling cranberries...craisins.

12:55 pm

not I

12:57 pm

FW! And I'm going back to my Xmas un-decking, Molly :-)

12:59 pm

You know, I am a big lover of Wilson Pickett. But after listening to him do Mustang Sally and The Commitments do their cover of the same, I have to say that I like The Commitments version better. Andrew Strong has one hell of a voice.

1:03 pm

I am a big Wilson Pickett fan too.. and Bill Withers, and Percy Faith, and especially Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye

1:07 pm

craisin are dried with blueberry juice and for me they're inedible

1:07 pm

and hello

1:08 pm

I eat a lot of dried fruit and nuts and have gained back a kilo!

1:09 pm

good morning ruby

1:09 pm

good evening ru

1:09 pm

Funny story about me, one fine Spring day, driving home from work, singing "Sexual Healing" rather loudly. Windows open, so were the windows of the two guys in the car next to me at the stop light, who looked over and laughed.

1:10 pm

ha.. that's always embarassing

1:10 pm

and what happened next, Molly?

1:13 pm

As a big Marvin Gaye fan, I was amazed when Robin Thicke tried the rip of of "Got To Give It Up"

1:13 pm

Can I get a clue and/or stats for the 7.

1:14 pm

need to jump in the shower .. have a great day everyone

1:14 pm

don't slip!

1:15 pm

nean

Tiny ones usually are nasty :(

5:17 pm

This grid fills me with en5/12 ..

5:29 pm

en5, indeed torgone

5:32 pm

I've just waved off my darling daughter back to the UK after a really lovely Christmas. It was a tearful toss-up between opening a bottle of wine or coming on Babble. Babble has less calories, so here I am . :-(

5:33 pm

5:35 pm

It was lovely, thank you Pen. I'm just so lonesome for Sarah now.... I hope you had a good time toi?

5:37 pm

6:31 pm

Taking hope that this grid is not a harbinger of grids to come this year.

6:36 pm

Aw dammit, back to the drawing board with my Gaelic. I thought Happy New Year was Athbhliain faoi mhaise duit.

6:39 pm

FINISHED!! VERY EXCELLENT!!!

7:20 pm

7:27 pm

THis grid stinks. I'm not even half way (22 words left) but will need Lickety to finish.

YAY, dcseain!!! WYG!!!

7:35 pm

7:36 pm

7:42 pm

agreed.

7:42 pm

an6/7 were the weirdest words today for me.

7:43 pm

I kept trying a bodily fluid word before I had a typo (which was accepted!)

7:50 pm

that's easy to imagine

7:52 pm

Happy New Year, dc.

7:52 pm
