hi Frances :) How are you holding up today?
Apart from anything else - cold
*sending warm vibes to Frances*
Thank you. I'm sitting in a chair wrapped in a duvet
it is tough to stay warm if you cannot move freely. Do you have a rubber warm water bottle? Not sure of the english word. It often helps me to fill it and lie it on my lap while sitting in a blanket.
Yes I do have one (hot water bottle). I have a cotton bag with log handles that I put the hottie in and then hang it round my neck. It then sits in just the right place for putting my hands on it to keep them warm.
oh that sounds good. I am really sorry you are having such a tough battle atm.
There are people far worse off than me.
that is always true. Doesn't diminish your burden any though. Well, least babble can do for you is distract you for a bit, right? :)
exactly right. Until I have to stand up. Then it takes a while to rearrange my knees.
ugh yes.
How are you?
for some reason I keep believing 'snew' is a word. As past tense of to snow, lol. Have you seen your very own babble dictionary in my profile?
I have - love it.
I am fine. had a gastric bypass in august, am now losing weight at long last. And feeling well enough to start doing volunteer work at a telephone help desk for people in trouble.
Oh wow! Good for you. Are you enjoying the work.
very much. It feels good to be giving back to the community. And it humbles me to see how much suffering there is, and how much loneliness, and how often people lack someone to simply listen to them. Really listen, I mean.
Indeed. I'm a pretty good listener and I find it really helps to listen and not necessarily talk back. it somehow helps just to be able to unburden yourself of your bottled up troubles and get them off your chest.
exactly. Someone who really listens and doesn't judge can make a lot of difference.
Usually helps if the listener is a stranger. When talking with someone who really knows you is not always helpful. They can be too close to your problems - or even the cause of them.
yeah that is true
I must ask - how did you cope with the bypass?
it went very well. I had a very thorough preparation, the surgery itself wasn't half as bad as I expected and it wasn't too hard to start learning what and how much to eat/drink afterwards either.
I'm pleased it is working for you. I can't see that a path I can take as the reason my surgeon won't operate on my knees is his concern about how I would cope with the anaesthetic.
I don't know how things are at your side of the Channel. Here, the gastric bypass surgeons and anaesthetians are specialised in operating on people with way too high body weight. They will agree to operate when other disciplines won't.
Yes, after all the whole reason for the bypass is to reduce body weight. It seems strange that if they can cope with operating why can't the bone surgeons. I can only assume they don't want the responsibilty if somethig should go wrong.
it may also have to do with the nature of the operation. Here, the gastric bypass is done without opening you up (laparascopic??). They don't have to cut up bone. And it doesn't take too long either.
So do you have a full anaesthetic or a local one?
a full one. But a short one. As soon as they are done, they wake you up. You have to help moving from the operating table to the bed yourself! And then you stay in IC until they have stabilised your pain and anti-nausea medication.
That is the bit that worries me. When my son was born (many years ago) I had an emergency c section because I had been in labour for nearly a week. They didn't realise his head was stuck fast. Because I was so exhausted I couldn't get up for four days and ended up with DVT in both legs and in hospital for four months. The thought of that happening again is truly scary.
omg in labour for almost a week! That is horrible. I can see how a repeat of that ordeal frightens you. If you should ever go explore the possibility of a gastric bypass, make sure you tell the surgeon and anaestetian all about it. They can really help you through it.
fireflies. A very enjoyable grid for me. Must be off now. Really enjoyed talking with you! I hope you will be warm soon and in not too much pain today. *hugs*
Yes, it is something to think about. I did read your article yesterday about the low carb diets. I told my son that I was willing to give it a go. He said that I would have to be strict with myself anf if it would help he will do it also.
wow, that is awesome. That really helps, to do it together.
Bye sprite. Have a lovely day and keep warm. Hugs back.
Morning all. I have 3 left and I sure could use some help....do4-5 the 2nd, do6-36 and
en 5-10. Thanks so much.
DO 4/5 is a dull, stupid person; blockhead.
Thanks so much, zooz.
D + double vowel + most of the number 0
EN + you use a ***ling pin for pastry.
Thanks agin, zooz.
Most welcome, Peach :-)
That was the last one. Thanks so much, zooz.
Congrats on finishing, Peach! Now go get some nice deep sleep :-)
Is it very cold there, zooz?
for me it is lol about 1.2c /34.16 F brr
Hope it is warmer where you are.
Up north it is about -10c/ 14 F and lots of snow too.
It is in the 20's here and supposed to get colder. The dogs don't like to go outside at all.
I do not blame them. I hope you keep yourself warm and safe, ((Peach))
Well, I think I will take your advice.....I sure could use a good nights sleep. Talk with you later. Blessings
Sweet dreams, Peach. Dream of sunnier times :-)
good morning from freezing Veyrier! It is about -3C outside and less than 10C in the house
I'm waiting for someone to come and make a fire
Hello, Ruby. Not very warm for you either. It is about 15c in my crappy house and that is with the heating on full blast lol
Hope they come soon for you, Ruby. Keep well wrapped up.
Qnd the nursing home just called; husband is in the ER again, had another bad fall but there is too mucch snow and I amnot in shape to go there
Hey you could snuggle upto the dogs to keep warm!
They are wet and a little bity stinky from the snow
Oh sorry to hear that, Ruby. I hope he has not hurt himself too badly. Would he know who you are even if you did turn up, Ruby?
The only good things so far are 1) my friend zzooz is here, 2) the sun is shining and 3) no pain for the moment!
eew no the smell of a wet dog is not a pleasant one so I do not blame you for not wanting to snuggle up to them lol
((Ruby)) bless you.
I'm sorry for my husband, but he's with professionals and all i would so is antagoneize everybody at the hospital "pushy American"!
Glad you have no pain! that is good.
Well you only want what is best for your husband so be pushy :-)
I don't even mind the smell, but they're wet, too!
I'm just not well enough to sit in a crowded ER for hours and risk getting sick myself
The sun is shining here too but it is not making any impact warmth wise.
And it wouldn't help him anyway
Well you have only just started to get well yourself so not worth the risk, Ruby.
same here, sun-wise lol
even though I havee a total southern exposure
I hate the smell of hospitals. I think they do a fantastic job at looking after people with the resources they have but I still do not like the smell of the places lol
The view today, with snow on the ground and sunshine is magnifique
Yes i have a south facing sun trap too but it is not warming up today lol
I bet it is. You have a wonderful view I bet!
In France, since medical care is free (not for us!!!), people abuse the system and run to the ER with colds and flu or headachess, and just take up space and resources
and now.....the grid, with my ice-cold fingers!
Yes that is a problem here too. We have tried a system where if you think you are not too bad you can dial 111 and speak to a trained nurse who will assess you and see if you need to see your doctor or even go to a hospital.
But I do not think it is working.
I am nearly finished grid wise but I will be going soon. so will have to finish later lol
people have no common sense; they don't wash their hands and are always sick, they all get flu shots, they don't eat correctly and they don't know basic first aid. When my son was born in a tiny town in Illinois, the hospital gave out copies of Dr. Spock to all new mothers and it got us through croup and most of the other infant problems
Itis lovely to find you here, zzoozz, I feel like we're old friends!
((Ruby)) we are old friends :-)
I am very fortunate!
I do also think we have gone a bit too far for infants. When they go out we tell them not to play in the mud etc and now they seem to be over sensitive and have all these problems. i remember eating a bit of dirt! when i was a nipper and I was told I ate a bit of an earth worm! I think this built up a resistance in our immune system to help us when we got older.
Now so many children have asthma and are allergic to lots of foods etc. it has gone mad!
absolutely! Here it's toomany antibiotics, not enough dirt in the diet (lol), not giving children enough milk (the FR don't think milk is good for you) duh, and giving them no free time to just play
the kid are generally slack and nervouse, fearful but polite, all very odd to me
I think play is a very important part of the learning process. they need to now how to interact with each other.
the school day is too long as are school holidays, and when the children come out at 4:30, they erupt, screaming, into the street
4;30pm! ha they come out at 3;30pm here lol
And the parents are all waiting in their SUV's so that the hildren dont hzve to walk home
walking home in pairs is certainly safe enoguh and good for the kids on many levels
We have a walk your child to school weeks here. trying to teach the PARENTS that they do not have to drive their children 100 yards down the road in their tanks to school lol
And they ae schelepping enormous back pa ks - but they still can't read!
Not good for their backs either!
Sounds like a yiddish word 'schelepping'
Sorry, Ruby, but I need to get going now. Need to see how my parents are doing. Very nice to talk to you. And try and stay warm ((Ruby))

Ruby is responding to the schlepping comment below
Oh I have a brother in law in San Fran

what would I do with my puppy?
when you come.. we must definitely do some drinks
Hello, KJE. The nursing home just called and husband is in the ER AGAIN, this time with a badly damaged arm. They have orders to noit do too much and DNR etc., but >I can' go there to supervise. It's too cold and >>I'm not in the best shgape...
No after flying back and forth from London to Toronto for all those years I am happy to keep my feet on the ground! You must come to London
call him a "service dog" and bring him with you on the plane.... seems to be the thing from my recent flying experiences
Oh Ruby that is not good, hugs
Well gotta go, have a fun day everyone. Bye Kje, lovely catching up with you and congrats again, hope you have a lovely day in April xx
hagd, Lindy!

husband fell AGAIN
zoon
sorry
Hello, Ruby. Sorry about the fall.
Ruby, if your husband is having repeated falling incidents, they should have him in a wheelchair. Unfortunately, the falling thing happens to Alzheimer's patients as they actually forget how to walk.
thank God, he's there and not here. Let the professionals deal with him; I certainly can't
Good morning :-)
Ruby - hugs! Poor hubby....
The problem is that in his nighttime agitation, he is in and out of nbed constantly. The only possibility would be to restrain him, and that would only be a last resort

Lol! Hey! Suzie -the youngest - got herself a job at a summer camp in New Hampshire!! She is over the moon!
Good morning all.
that is great ne***! You have done such a great job with the bairns (sic)
GM sukee
Hi Sukee :-)
Hi ruby and soodle.
Ruby, people with Alzheimer's live in a constant state of confusion. Hence, the agitation at certain times of day. Hopefully they can adjust his medication so he isn't so agitated at night.
what a horrible disease Alzheimers is.
it's a very cruel disease, but I don't think that going to the emergency room would help him; all I do is antagonize the staff
It is a terrible thing to watch someone that you love, who was once vibrant and intelligent, being slowly robbed of those things.
He was very calm when I saw him on Wed.
Well, sitting here in my dressing gown isn't helping to get my chores done. Have a great day, everyone. (((())))
Take care.
((soodle)) have a happy day, basking in Suze's good news

do you have one of those do dads which allow you transfer?
yes, I think so. I got it plugged into the laaptop, but then couldn't figure out what to do next
I feel like such a do**
I'm looking at mine. You put the thing with the fotos in the slot and then attach to usb thing into your computer and voila
That's what I did and nothing happened
Your laptop is not recognizing the usb connection.
sometimes you have to have the camera on when you attach it to the computer.
that works for me, so I don't know. Does it ask you to import the photos?
I had a co**which went directly from the camer to the USB port
<OK, trying again
en7, please?
Do a Google search on your camera. You should find instructions on how to import photographs.

Bich, they are going to try and bring "24" back without Jack Bauer. Good luck with that.
you're kidding!!
that doesn't sound like the sort of thing molly would kid about
well that is pointless
:-)
i never watched it but i will make a joke about it anyway
it's like "sherlock holmes: now starring john watson!"
“24: Legacy†will revolve around a military hero’s return to the U.S. and the trouble that follows him back — compelling him to ask CTU for help in saving his life, and stopping what potentially could be one of the largest-scale terror attacks on American soil.
interesting . . . but not 24 . . . kinda stoopid that they even called it that
what is the show here in the us something Reborn?
Heroes that's it, that show is going off the air as far as i know
i thought I saw ads for a whole new season of Heroes . . . no?
never watched it
i could be wrong but that's what i thought i read somewhere
aaahhh, Variety says it will die after this one new season
i just looked it up again no 2nd season
i never watched much of either
never watched Heroes -- watched every episode of 24 :-)
never watched either that much at all only in previews
The original Heroes was very good. The remake is atrocious.
molly i was confused as to why it got cancelled i thought it was one of the most popular/watched shows on tv at the time?
24 was ALL ABOUT Jack Bauer. If they want to revive the premise, they ought to rename the show. CTU or something.
i agree, molly
why reboot a show without the main character is beyond me?
Kiefer says, re 24: “It’s one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever been given as an actor, but it’s moving on without me. I want to do other things.â€
Fi 5/22?
fi5/20 but change final vowel
when i first saw the previews for the show it almost looked like a movie to me
thanks une
interesting . . . fi5/22 means scarf in the online dictionary but when I lived in France it was polite term for "crappy, no good, ruined"
that is interesting une
maybe (and this is a stretch!) it's scarf in the sense of flimsy, blowing in the wind . . . ?
in "these happy golden years" when laura is marrying almanzo, her friend gives her a small piece of fancy lace, which they called a triangular fi5/22
:-)
i don't even remember that hurshy
Hurshy, the Little House On The Prairie guru
Keep in mind that Hursh has the entire script of The Princess Bride memorized. She does not forget much.
well i have read the books about a million times... my mom read them to me first, when i was 6. as soon as finished i said, "read them again!" and she said no, if you want it again you read it yourself. so i did. a lot.
hurshy my mom and i used to watch the tv series every week
the show took a lot of liberties - although it did include one or two real events the books did not, such as the birth and death of a baby brother
my book addiction was The Secret Garden, then over 80 Nancy Drew books! LOL
hurshy i found out an interesting fact about the 3 girls recently.. they all died of complications to diabetes
re watching TV with a parent -- Daddy and I watched Perry Mason together every week
oh yes nancy drew, and i also did sleepover friends, saddle club, babysitters club, sweet valley...
hurshy true, most of it was tv oriented and laura and almanzo were actually not that far apart in age
you're my daughter's generation -- those were all book series she loved, hursh:-)
Encyclopedia Brown, Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, etc, anything I could get my hands on. I read all of the time.
can't believe she just turned 39!
oh encyclopedia brown was so neat
idk why, the i is so hard today!
me too, scrabbs -- the library was "the happiest place on earth" LOL
Une, I have decided that I am going to start lying about my kids ages when they hit 40. : D
i neve read the secret garden but loved the movie versions of it especially the Margaret or brian version of it
MLF you MUST read the book!
i read the secret garden but i preferred a little princess
liked A Little Princess as well
Our library was a 10 minute walk up the hill and we walked there all of the time with a pile of books and returned with a pile of books, or we went as a family because my mother was a reader.
another movie i liked lol
there is no good movie version of a little princess - they all messed the story up royally
rode my bike to the library every Saturday!
fi 5/22; tr 6/21 - clues please
I climbed up the maple tree in the front tree and sat there to read. Or read in bed with a flashlight.
flashlight in bed -- yes indeed!
are you in on the latest fads and tr6?
flashlight in bed! all. the. time.
gran if you have the fi 5/20 just change the last vowel to another one
fi5/22 clued at 8:33
the tr 6/21 i have is a plural
I ust started Lyndsay Faye's 3rd book about the start of the NYPD in the 1840's.
just finished reading The Revenant -- good book but I now know I couldn't sit thru the movie -- too brutal
even tho the bear is cgi LOL
I never see the movie after reading the book. The movie ruins the book.
une just close your eyes during the bad parts
not with the princess bride, scrabbler!! :)
i am not a Princess Bride movie fan at all
Well, I didn't read that book.
movies are NEVER as good as the book!!
did dicaprio get a nomination?
yes -- best actor and film for best film
une Little Women was good either way movie or book in my opinion
une why was i thinking he didn't?duhh
oh yes!!!! I even watched Little Women again recently -- love love love it!
but that's the exception -- at least nowadays
une which version did you watch?
I cannot watch some movies just because of the actors.
you mean like anything with james franco in it?
me either scrab
the one with Winona Ryder
Ha, yes, Hurshy, but he is not in any high quality movies anyway.
same here, hursh -- can't stand anything with Ben Stiller
une that version is so wonderful:)
oh i like zoolander and night at the museum
But many actors annoy me or remind me of someone so I cannot watch those movies.
ok -- yeah but none of the other "comedies" -- ugh
lol that's not good scrab
'morning, everyone
yeah i don't tend to watch any meryl streep stuff
hey welki:-)
But that is why the book is always better--I create the movie in my mind.
i'm just not on that bandwagon
what was the name of that movie ben stiller did with gwenyth paltrow?
Hi welki
hi welk
something about mary
no that's cameron diaz
love meryl but not her recent movies -- so many are just silly
right hurshy
une i loved momma mia
I also need to read words so when I watch a movie at home I use closed caption so I can read the conversation. It is not a hearing problem, that is just my brain.
dang it - the one movie question i thought i could answer!
i want to see into the woods but some songs were removed and i am not exactly sure about the story line
scrabs, I need to read words on lots of British shows! LOL
closed captioning distracts me too much, i end up reading and looking for typos and not seeing any of the things that are going on in the movie
sorry welk
Yes, Une, for sure.
saw the play 2-3 times, mlf -- very good but not interested in the movie
mlf, no need to apologize, i should just stick to books :)
hursh, all the typos in movie credits make me craaaazy!! LOL
une i have seen parts of it and love the music (Bernadette peters is one of my favs)
TV show too -- don't they have proofreaders??
yes, Bernadette's pretty wonderful :-)
une agreed:)
I think contemporary editors are not so smart and careful like in the "old days." Strunk & White would be appalled.
Bernadette and Mandy were so terrific in Sunday in the Park with George. . . . big fan of Mandy as well!
true, scrabbs
une so am i another i love!
:-)
i used to have that painting as a wallpaper on another computer we had
got to see him in a one-man show here in Nashville many years ago -- just Mandy sitting alone on stage on a tall stool, singing -- what a treat .. . . OMG
une mouth falls on fall here!
i am so jealous!
also saw him onstage in NYC in Evita -- FABULOUS
I love Mandy.
une is Kingsport in the mountains of ten?
yeah -- it's way over in east TN
scrab if you don't have it get Mandy Patinkin's cd Mamoloshen its fabulous!
Nashville's right in the middle of the state

Oooh, clues, Judi?
Uh Oh, the bunny's getting mad.
Judi, awesome!
Just like in Scrabble, Hego. I do not like C's, V's, or U's on my rack.
Co8. Much like the structural co7/36. Extra consonant at the end.
And Co8: one who gives approval.
Or, those who give approval, rather.
or one who allows

Someone may be ill-perceived. A grid is an inanimate intangible.
Perception is in the eye of the beholder, not in the beheld.... ;o)
then why do people say the grid has teeth and the grid bites etc? :D
anthropomorphism
finally finished, those 26 co's were killers.....bye all

Nice to see you though :-)
good morning/afternoon, everyone
Hello, Nan :-)
Evening all! May I have stats please for the 8s?
Hello, Matty :-)
CO 8/50 & CO 8/55
How is the job going, Matty. Hope you are settling in well?
I shall look now - thanks!
Found one of them (and annoyingly, I already had the root of it)
Drat. Chat box is widened
Glad you found one :-)
I found the 8/50 - is the 55 also related?
No it has to do with the CO 7/36
The second one that is.
Ah, haven't got that 7 yet - looking!
I think Jaxx and her "no spaces" is what blew the chat bar width.
I say it has to do with that..well not according to the DEF. But there is just one letter seperating them both.
8/55 not related to the 8/50
The chat log should sort itself out soon :-)
Found the 7 (I think) ...
The chat log will sort itself out once the long posts flush
The DEF for the CO 8 /55 is :a winding road cut into the side of a steep hill or along the face of a coastal cliff.
Are there only 2 co7s?
No there are three of them.
Oh. Blast. I have 2 of them. Still looking :)
Add to the CO 4/5 on the cob word.
Well just add frozen water really lol
Got it. Thanks! Still looking for the 8/55 though It builds off of not the cob word, though, but rather the other?
Add a consonant very near the end.
When the chat log is blown if you just hit SHIFT after five or six words your comments will not run off the page
Ah thanks, Molly. I was hittig the CTRL button lol
No it builds off the cob word, Matty.
Zoom, don't be a CTRL freak : P
Groan!
LOl
*Passes the GROAN to Ru*
he's collected quite a few :-)
Got it - musta tried everything else but what turned out to be the correct letter.
Hello, Une :-)
hey zooz :-)
And now the chat is fixed :-)
I've been hitting SHIFT (because I'm a shifty character) to avoid it running over - but you're right, I don't have to anymore
Kill shelter sounds rather horrible, Une!
i know -- lots of them around . . .
Glad they have new homes to go to though :-)
hooray for banna and cassius
people turn in dogs to a shelter for a variety of reasons, assuming the shelter will always find homes for them -- no way, of course -- just not enough room for all the dogs surrendered
Indeed, Annie! :-)
And hello :-)
annie, they were sooooo sweet :-)
this is why fosters are so important
they have kind faces, bless them and the folks who adopted them
dogs may not find a permanent home for a while but if they're fostered they're SAFE
Ashame people do not think before buying a dog.
well, if they would just spay and neuter their pets!
52 left and I think I need to list - want to start a book on how many really, painfully obvious words I've missed?
lol, ((Matty))
but you're right, zooz -- it amazes me when people are "surprised" when their large-breed puppy grows BIG
Well yes different when they are small and cute.
ok, gotta run -- am helping transport a senior doxie girl, Delia -- later! :-)
Any then they don't train their puppy at ALL and wonder why it's uncontrollable as an adult
Toodle pips, Une!
Very true, Matty.

I should watch the end of the Patriots game.
At my house, we call it the Chiefs game. :)
At my house we call it why bother watching when the Cheatriots will win another.
Rezones
Whoops!
Lol Molly.
Come on Chiefs!
Jee, I would love to see the Chiefs win this one.
It would be an upset for sure.
I would love to see KC win too
Tom Brady would be deflated to lose this game :D
Good to hear support for KC.
I'm so tired of the Patriots domination of the NFL
I like Alex Smith... and I really like Jamal Charles and Jeremy Maclin.. all really good players.
KC is excited for Royals and Chiefs. We rarely have good teams, so we would be happy to have the Chiefs win.
I love the Royals.. I love the way they play baseball and Perez is one of my favorite baseball players
to come back and get back into the world series.. and take it.. that is one heck of a team. I was really happy for them.
Ruth, you do rock!
Ruru!

ty and goodnight
hi all. i would love clues for the 2 8's. ty.
anyone there????????would love some clues for the 8s.
I am working on the co 8/55, don't have it yet.
co8/50 one who approves misbehavior of others
co8/55 a winding cliff road
ty looking dont know if i know either
hi all
co8/55 - grain + statue nook
got the first. but the road.........not sure i know the word
Ty dan, the co 8/50 is not expert
cord
but don't double the consonant
oops mkg
oops so sorry all.
lol, never mind, it's there. And TY
any further clues about the road???????
did the grain clue help?
not yet.
Sounds like a type of molding with an extra consonant
the indians call it maize mkg
i got the grain but not the nook. hmmm
how about a tiny specialized market?
starts with the same letter the grain ends with
boutique? hmmm.
so two Ns in a row???????
well it is originally a french word. . .but only one N though/ / / /
don't repeat the consonant, no
as to the nook.........i know of a co**ice.....but cant think of anything else.
nbt
nbs
dan, it is the ending i am just stumped by. is it a plural?
Add a high scoring letter before the last vowel
well, double scoring anyway
the Z? i am really stumped.
start fresh mkg
a double scoring letter
co ------ grain + small shelf for brickabrack - n
is the double letter the last letter??????
No it ends in a vowel
you should see my monkeys.........co**oseo, co**oswe, etc.
haha *gives mkg monkeys some bananas*
ends in vowel. so then the 7th letter is the double point one right?
I'll get some warm water for them to soak their little fingers in when you are do**
yes
well i dont see it.
i tried co**do**. not in dict.
Do you know the moulding that starts with co? if so, you double the last consonant and add the 2 point tile.
co ------ grain + small shelf for brickabrack minus the extra N
i am now triying with the fi words. darn.
i have the molding co 7.
i have the molding co 7. so what does that do for me??????
put a double score tile before the last letter
stick a letter in the molding before the last letter
I GOT IT. well, now that was terrible. all that time i had it and just needed a letter in the middle to make it french. weird.
ty
way to stick it out mkg. . . .
whew. i am wiped from that........that was really bad. ty all for sticking by me.
okay 1/2 way and that will have to be enough for me tonight. . . . Bye all. . . *poof*
48 to go and struggling... :(
