good morning all

3:48 am

Hi Sprite

3:48 am

Hi sprite.

3:48 am

hey Glant! Long time no see. How are you?

3:49 am

I am fine, semi-retired now and feeling a whole lot less stressed :-)

3:49 am

oh how lovely! Very much deserved :)

3:50 am

plus i have been following a high fat low carb diet and my blood pressure has come right down to a normal range after 3 decades of being way too high LOL. Who knew a cchange of diet could do that so quickly.

3:50 am

plus i have lost some weight into the bargain.

3:50 am

how are you doing Sprite?

3:50 am

good for you! Yeah, cutting back on the carbs works miracles

3:51 am

Well done you. Sounds like semi retirement is doing you good glant

3:51 am

It is great apart form the lack of money LOL

3:51 am

I am fine. Losing weight after a gastric bypass, feeling lots better. Also watching my carbs, though no longer on the diet.

3:52 am

I will be starting a new diet and exercise plan once I have moved and got settled.

3:52 am

wow, had a friend who had a gastric bypass in NZ, she is doing very well 3 years on

3:52 am

that is great to hear, Glant

3:53 am

I can't recommend this too highly medusa - http://www.dietdoctor.com/

3:53 am

and yay medusa! Exercise is so important. And eating healthy too. No fad diet though... that only works temporarily and actually makes you gain weight faster as soon as you stop dieting.

3:54 am

although it contradicts everything we have been told about diet for the last 40 years. But, hospitals in either Denmark or Netherlands are using it very sucessfully with diabetics, to reduce dependence on medication

3:54 am

there is a lot of scientific evidence for the LCHF, that is what I like about it

3:55 am

I have been watching the biggest loser again! It always makes me want to do something. Was going to do it here but not worth it. Have a lovely field I could use but landlord is so nasty. Wont go in to that again though. lol. Thanks for the link glant. I will go look at it when I have done babble. ;)

3:57 am

I walked at least 5 miles a day for about 18 months and it didn't do anything in terms of weight loss or lowering blood pressure. I did feel better mentally, and it certainly helped with coping with bereavement. I need to start the walking again, but one of the articles on that website explains why the biggest losers have all regained their weight and more....

3:57 am

my advice would be to check out the LCHF life style... not a real diet, it is actually turning around your way of eating. And find a kind of exercise you really enjoy. No need to run if you don't like that. Walking is at least as healthy.

3:58 am

what Glant says, lol. Diets make you gain weight in the long run. It is a scientific fact. We have been doing it all wrong for ages.

3:58 am

oh, I know it is a lifestyle. I never gave up butter despite all government advice to do so, so it is great to be able to eat it with all my healthy veggies LOL

3:59 am

YThey have? I have not read it. I have to be careful coz of my back so exercise is gonna be hard to work out. Will find things though. Will be walking a fair bit with the dogs. I intend to go for the lifestyle change. Want to be healthier.

3:59 am

and i never feel hungry, so if i eat between meals it is emotional eatinhg

3:59 am

real butter is actually very healthy fat, yes :D

3:59 am

wish I could eat butter. But I hate the taste of it too much.

4:00 am

I never really fry much and when I do it is usually just eggs and then I only use olive oil

4:00 am

do you like coconut oil, Sprite? that works too

4:00 am

cooee and g'[day from me.

4:00 am

i have to be careful with dairy stuff coz I am lactose intollerant

4:00 am

(( rose ))

4:00 am

{{hugs}} and good morning my dearest sprite. how was your night?

4:00 am

yeah for cooking I can use coconut fat or olive oil, that is not a problem. But on bread... ugh no.

4:00 am

How are you sweetie?

4:00 am

hey ya medusa. xoxox

4:00 am

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend, how was your day? How did church go?

4:01 am

the point of the LCHF thing is that our bodies need fat. Lots of fat. If we get it in our diet, and don't eat sugar or carbs, our bodies use our fat stores

4:01 am

not too badly, thanx. this wretched nerve is giving me some gip.

4:01 am

Hi GRannyrose

4:02 am

I love nuts too so I get nut oil from eating them. I know that is good for you too

4:02 am

hey ya glant. all well with you honey?

4:02 am

you have made an appointment with the doc about the nerve already, right rose?

4:02 am

yes, nuts are very good for you and a great source of healthy fat

4:02 am

church was lovely, as usual. and a good long chat aFTER EVERYONE ELSE HAD LEFT, WITH THE VICAR.

4:02 am

the diet says a handful of nuts a day is good (but avoid cashews)

4:03 am

ugh.... sorry, flipped on caps lock

4:03 am

lovely, rose :) Glad you had a good day of worship.

4:03 am

cashews aren't real nuts, right? And peanuts aren't either.

4:03 am

that's why you need to avoid them

4:04 am

they are higher carb than real nuts

4:04 am

I don't eat cashews. They are 1 of the few I don't like. I have a big thing for almonds though. They are a huge weakness of mine!

4:04 am

mmmmmmm, not yet sprite. * stuffs ears full of cotton wool*. but i pwomise on tuesday.

4:04 am

yeah I thought I remembered something like that.

4:04 am

almonds are good on this diet :-)

4:04 am

darn it, woman! You promised when I told you to last week!

4:04 am

almonds and macadamia nuts :)

4:04 am

la la la la la

4:05 am

bad, bad rose

4:05 am

I do eat peanuts but not often. It is mostly for the salt. I have extra low blood pressure so need salt fixes. lol

4:05 am

*giggle*

4:06 am

please give him a call tomorrow, rose. You silly twit. You KNOW it will be a little while before he can see you... and all that time you are in pain.

4:07 am

4:08 am

7:26 am

Morning Annie. Gonna be a hot and steamy one for us Right Coasters today.

7:28 am

For sure. Yesterday we went to the Botanic Gardens. Wonderful. When we came home, within a half hour, we had a power failure. Lasted 2 hours, I have not appreciated A/C more.

7:31 am

Power failures are miserable in the summer. You must get hot being on such a high floor. Do you have any battery operated fans?

7:33 am

No, I don't. I happens so rarely that I never bought one. I will look into that, tho.

7:34 am

*It

7:34 am

Oh God, it just occurred to me, did you have to walk up 27 flights of stairs?

7:35 am

No, thank goodness, I was already home. Only 24 flights of stairs. But I did walk up twice when we had super storm sandy. It was no walk in the park.

7:36 am

I don't think I can do that anymore.

7:36 am

That is an exhausting thing to do.

9:23 am

It's almost not worth going out in a public place

9:23 am

was discussing that yesterday with friends . . . sigh

9:25 am

I just like being in my quiet town. We do go places, but I feel relatively safe here [even though one neighborhood man has PTSD and a gun]

9:26 am

quiet in my part of Nashville as well . . .

9:27 am

back in a bit . . .

9:28 am

the guy allows his aggressive dog to roam and we have called animal control. It's scary

9:31 am

The Orlando atastrophe was an act of domestic terrorism

9:32 am

I just read about it.. it looks terrible

9:32 am

my paper says 20 died. I guess that number has sadly gone up

9:33 am

I heard 20 also on the news this AM.

9:37 am

so many people transported to hospital, I'm not surprised. Just another Sunday in the USA :-(

9:37 am

depressing

9:43 am

Look, 2Bit spends a short bit of time in the UK and he's already saying "to hospital" instead of "to the hospital" : D

9:44 am

wait til he starts saying maths instead of math

9:45 am

And girlie 2Bit will be going "to university" instead of to college : D

Can anyone clue the AN7?

11:50 am

People keep moving to these smaller devices to access the internet, yet seem to have no idea how to use them.

11:51 am

An iPad really isn't set up for Babble unless you have a seperate keyboard.

11:52 am

I yearn for the days when a phone was just a phone to be honest.

11:58 am

I see people glued to their cell phones and just laugh. Really, what is so important?

12:01 pm

i have to agree. I went to a basketball game not long ago and a lot of people spent the whole night looking at their phones instead of the game

12:03 pm

beth, ends with alt spelling of not dark

12:03 pm

uses the sometimes vowel

12:08 pm

Thanks CH1212

12:27 pm

My cell phone is a very old model, and I use it only to make phone calls--I do my computing at home. At work, I look around in the deathly silence and see an ocean of people, with their earbuds/ headphones on, their faces bathed in the harsh light from their "smart' phone and other mobile devices-- often I fully expect to see drool running from the corner of their mouths. I am the loneliest guy in the lunchroom... :(

12:30 pm

I have a flip phone. Use it for phone calls and some texting. I had a friend of a friend pull my friend aside to tell her that I needed to be told to get a new phone.

12:31 pm

Mine is a old Nokia "slide" phone from the same time period, Kittychan

12:32 pm

Funny, when you think of it. Just a mere eight years in electronics and your device--whatever it is, is ancient...

12:32 pm

Mine actually isn't that old - was made to get a new phone when my husband switched plans but was able to get one that is more or less like the old one.

12:35 pm

I did use an I-phone 4S at one time, but I found the monthly expenses too onerous. This old Nokia carries for 15 dollars a month, and I usually have time leftover at that. :)

12:38 pm

Hiyas, kiddos!

12:39 pm

it is funny when the new hours are posted at work. I watch the other whip out their smart phone/ "phablets" and start furiously pressing buttons, while I pull the little note book out of my back pocket and grab a pen... :)

12:39 pm

12:42 pm

Until recently I had a little 2G stupid phone. Then ATT said it wouldn't be supported anymore. My daughter had given me her old 3G iPhone so I got it activated and kept my same pay as you go plan. I use it so rarely, that's the best plan for me. I pay $100 a year and never use all my minutes so the unused ones roll over.

12:54 pm

I have an old Nokia 6010 from 2006 on a pay as you go plan. I only use it for travelling, and I put $50 on it once a year. Beloved has a smarty-pants cell, but I don't want an electronic leash.

12:58 pm

I only use mine when traveling as well. Still have our land line at home.

12:58 pm

ditto.

12:59 pm

ditto

1:00 pm

But love the iphone for travel and driving directions.

1:01 pm

I do like being able to take photos with this new cell phone. And it connects to our house wifi so I can share them with family. I disabled that function for away from home.

1:02 pm

yes, the camera is fun. We use them all the time.

1:02 pm

We're so old school, we still use maps.

1:04 pm

Gotta have maps. :)

1:05 pm

But to find an address in a strange city, the phones are wonderful.

1:05 pm

1:08 pm

we're good (ish) it has been a rough year for teaching for me, a lot of stress. But only a couple more days and no early wake-up from Wednesday on, so looks like we'll make it. Everyone is happier when I am happy. LOL

1:08 pm

LOL You sound just like my daughter.

1:09 pm

1:51 pm

Let's not all rush in at once to clue those ... ;)

1:54 pm

I have 76 others I could trade clues for ....

1:56 pm

I'm also willing to sing and dance for clues :D

1:56 pm

:-) sorry ch1212 ... I just started

1:58 pm

It's okay, origami. They are my last two and I've been monkeying for over an hour now. At this point, I just want to finish :).

1:59 pm

I have a to 6/24 that is a type of kitty

1:59 pm

The ag7 starts with first 4 of the ag5/14 and uses the high point tile

2:00 pm

agateze

2:00 pm

almost habes

2:00 pm

got it origami -- thanks! Habes, still working on the kitty, but thanks :)

2:00 pm

sorry.

2:01 pm

That's why I seldom give clues.

2:02 pm

GOT IT! Thanks so much! I realized my error on that ag was I miscalculated the 56, and didn't think I could use the high tile.

2:02 pm

Habes, you gave a PERFECT clue -- it just took me a sec.

2:02 pm

You're welcome.

2:12 pm

It was PERFECT!!!!

2:35 pm

something i have long wished to determine is whether the word to6 can be used for ANY male cat, or only ones which have not been neutered. nobody seems to have a definitive answer.

2:45 pm

How perplexing

I tend to only use it for unneutered males, but I'm not the arbiter of male cat language

2:47 pm

The definition is a male cat. The use of that word for humans is definitely not about neutered males.

May I have stats for the E in the second column, please?

2:49 pm

el6/21

2:49 pm

one of them is el6, 21

2:50 pm

and et 4,5

2:50 pm

my last word is the ai. I know I'll be cranky when I finally get it but not as cranky as I am right now, unable to find it. Help, please?

2:51 pm

ai5 is a word for garlic dressing or mayonnaise

2:51 pm

Doh! I have that one. What am I missing? mmmm

2:52 pm

do you have ac4 ? it's kind of weird

2:52 pm

Ah, yes. The at6

2:56 pm

Well, off to the garden I go!

3:05 pm

Oooh boy, Gramma. Enjoy your gardening. Today I fought the lawn & the lawn won.

3:05 pm

well the problem is, the word to6 existed long before neutering became a regular practice. as such it is strongly associated with unneutered male cat behaviors, which a neutered male generally does not engage in.

3:06 pm

now what i need is 7's. cause i don't gots ANY.

3:06 pm

An acre of grass is a whole lot of grass.

Any help to you Hurshy?

3:20 pm

Your welcome 😐

3:33 pm

*Bows to Hurshy* I love words and their definitions, but I don't go so far as to know how long words have existed and why their meaning is no longer current.

May I have a nudge on the el6, please?

Never mind - found it

3:48 pm

Unneeded nudge

A virtual nudge :)

Fireworks finally!

4:00 pm

Well done, Matty. Good for you :-)

4:04 pm

Firewoks for me too

4:30 pm

oh soodle, i'm so sorry

4:31 pm

i have been awfully concerned about a cat... who is on a kitten cam that i watch... and i left to see how she was doing, back from the emergency vet...

4:31 pm

i do thank you for the clues

4:33 pm

it's dreadfully easy to be rude on the internet, isn't it?

4:39 pm

was that ta7/42 supposed to say 32 or 52?

4:39 pm

TA 7/32

4:39 pm

aha, found it! ty zooz

4:40 pm

How is the cat on the cat cam, Hurshy?

4:41 pm

she is... stable for now. we do not know exactly what her underlying conditions are. she has a slight fever, indicating some sort of infection/inflammation, there's a bit of fluid in her lungs, and her heart has some issues. we're hoping she will be evaluated by a cardiologist tomorrow or soon at least.

4:42 pm

Poor little thing. I hope it pulls through.

4:43 pm

yeah, she's the sweetest thing. she was found, blind in one eye and going blind in the other, and pregnant, in a colony of cats that live in a certain forested area in canada.

4:43 pm

her eye's been under treatment, she had the kittens a couple months ago (had to have a c-section for THAT)

4:44 pm

and she's supposed to be feral, you know, scared of humans and stuff? but from like, the first day, she just turned straight into a housecat. she was happy to let shelly help her.

4:45 pm

and for the last couple weeks she's also been foster-mom to two other litters of kittens

4:46 pm

Sounds like she has been through the wars a bit. Hope the little ones will find a nice loving home when they are old enough. And I also hope she herself will find someone to love her and take her in.

4:47 pm

they will all get great homes, for sure. from being on camera, people kinda tend to fall in love with them, and people apply to adopt them :)

4:47 pm

Was she neutered while they did th c-section?

4:47 pm

she was spayed during the c-section, yes.

4:47 pm

she was spayed during the c-section, yes.

4:48 pm

whoopsie, chat glitch

4:49 pm

I had our female neutered as soon s I could or else there'd be 12-14npups every yer. Unimaginable and I think cats have 3 litters a year, yes?

4:50 pm

Ithink being a breeder would be a full-time jot

4:51 pm

job*

4:51 pm

they can have them pretty fast, yeah, starting at 4-6 months old

4:51 pm

out on their own, kittens have a survival rate of 25%.

4:52 pm

and only 1/3 of those that DO survive ever find a home.

4:52 pm

this is why bob barker was always saying have your pet spayed or neutered

4:53 pm

That is too sad!

4:53 pm

yeah

4:54 pm

why was i so sure "agita" was a babble word?

4:54 pm

Chows are too rare here; it would be impossible to place pups as well as being irresponsible.

4:55 pm

As it is, I worry about what willhappen if I died before they do

4:55 pm

my Mitten went into heat at 4 months. she was indoor only, so she wasn't going to get pregnant, but, man, a cat in heat sounds like it is suffering! we were going to be getting her spayed anyways but that hurried us right along.

4:56 pm

There's evidently a bitch in heat nearby and Rufz is prettu agitated.

4:57 pm

poor lil doggies

4:57 pm

Chows mature at 6-7 months

4:58 pm

cats never mature

4:58 pm
