1:04 am

(((((rose))))) You take super good care, ya hear? No endangering our time together! :)

1:05 am

it appears i have had a low-grade urinary tract infection for quite some time which suddenly decided to go exploring in the kidneys, hence the high temp and blood

1:05 am

aw sweetie! Yeah, those are nasty things. Glad it popped up when it did and not a couple of weeks later.

1:06 am

would have been a bit of a giggle with you translating for me...

1:06 am

sounds painful Rose, sorry to hear

1:07 am

nah that would have been okay, but such a waste of our quality time.

1:08 am

strange flosey, no real pain this time, just an urgency and the strange "drawing in" feeling when stream finished. and the temps of over 39C.

1:10 am

i spent the day in bed after i came home from hospital, got up yesterday and did just a few tasks, and today, almaost back to normal

1:11 am

wow, wtg Rose, sounds like you take good care of yourself to bounce back so quickly

1:11 am

don takes good care of meself, flosey. he would have made a great nurse.

1:12 am

goooooood girl ;) Not too many tasks either, sweetie, for a few days... make sure the energy goes to fully recovering and not to domestic chores.

1:12 am

*hugs Don* Good man, Don!

1:12 am

I still think temps in F - even though we've been using C for quite some years!!

1:12 am

I know how hard it is to keep a good woman down, lol. Respect to Don.

1:16 am

you're very lucky Rose, hubby here does the same - I have trouble standing, bending over counter, sink, stove, etc. he does all the cooking now

1:17 am

deep gratitude to good men like ours

1:17 am

i know i am fortunate flosey, and loll... sprite. when i take to my bed you know i am sick. didn't take much to hold me there

1:18 am

1:19 am

phantom: patient

1:19 am

I know, rose. Am glad you are starting to feel better

1:24 am

1:26 am

1:30 am

psst flosey, that's what sprite said last night and i waited and waited

1:35 am

1:36 am

wb honey

1:36 am

hmmm, not quite sure what it is you're waiting for Rose???

1:37 am

1:45 am

I'm with you Zoom. I'm not getting the 545 thing

4:20 am

Hello, Molly :-) Got it it mean Bi 5, Bi 4, Bi 5

4:21 am

leap

4:21 am

Ah, thank you Zoom. You are more awake and perceptive than I am. : D

4:22 am

4:22 am

Well it is very early in the morning where you are, Molly :-)

4:23 am

We just use the words stood up here, Ruby.

4:24 am

Be like a rabbit?

4:24 am

I think it's a funny expression. I'm starting to know too much Fr slang!

4:25 am

In that case I have that one.

4:31 am

Exactly 60 words for later. I can see I will be listing early. Just not seeing anything valid.

4:32 am

Happy babbling everyone!

I should be so lucky as to have one! Y'all are way better than I am!

9:35 am

Yes, Scrabs, have been home for a week. Such an enjoyable vacation

9:36 am

Is today your first day here?

9:37 am

No, have been playing for a week.

9:37 am

Vacations are always nice.

9:37 am

Bichon, I am asking yubi.

9:37 am

When you're retired, every day is a vacation

9:38 am

te6 clue pls?

9:38 am

*wistfully wishes for vacation time*

9:39 am

Someday...12-13 years to go, or more. Until 70 or so.

9:39 am

Hi Ruru and MLFAN

9:39 am

Today I had to bring Marco to the vet

9:39 am

Is he ok?

9:39 am

I only get 365 days of vacation a year.

9:40 am

me too mixi

9:40 am

He had a cyst on his neck. The vet expressed it and the liquid flew all over the vet

9:40 am

Lucky mixi!

9:40 am

hi scrab

9:40 am

occatioally I get an extra day. lol

9:40 am

Yikes, bichon. Just liquid, not pus?

9:40 am

tymixi for the pa6

9:41 am

Yes, clear liquid, fortunately. Can't afford more.

9:41 am

Ewww.

9:41 am

I work 3-4 days weekly, with one night on call and one weekend on call every 5 weeks, and that is plenty stressful. So I get 3 days off every week usually to recover from the work days.

9:42 am

But you get to play with kids

9:42 am

te 6 clue pls?

9:43 am

number + neckwear

9:43 am

(I'm not new, I just don't really talk)

9:43 am

Bishon, my dog gets the same on her back. I put some orajel on it and stick a 16 gage needle in it and express it myself. The vet told me about it.

9:43 am

ty mixi

9:44 am

Cysts are gross. My oldest cat has had a few of them on his ears and neck (from fighting other cats in the hood).

9:44 am

does the eo7 come from the 4th column?

9:44 am

hubby want to get a cat.

9:44 am

The young kids are the best. I dislike adolescents. Some parents are wonderful, some are utterly awful.

9:44 am

yes mlf

9:45 am

My friend's Bassett hound has numerous cysts too.

9:45 am

A hypothetical chemical precursor of a living cell was the clue give before

9:46 am

eo + a five letter work in the grid wad an earlier clue.

9:47 am

that is a strange word.. ty mixi I posted the clue from sue into google and got it

9:47 am

take off the eo for another one mlf

9:48 am

ty sue

9:48 am

yw always

9:49 am

single o?

9:50 am

ob, more round

9:50 am

or kind of round

9:53 am

hello everyone

9:53 am

Hi Nan

9:54 am

hi nan, are you having floods?

9:54 am

how is the flooding in your area nan?

9:56 am

about the same, ru -- no where near as bad as in other parts of the country thouh

9:56 am

*though

9:57 am

good

9:58 am

only the low lying areas along a couple of the creeks that run through town are affected -- that and our golf course, which is named Kelowna Springs for a very good reason!

9:59 am

*questions the wisdom of building a golf course on top of natural springs *

9:59 am

Agreed, Judi.

9:59 am

yes -- well it was an old landfill site that was formerly a swamp

9:59 am

Then again, scuba golf could become a big thing.

10:00 am

need I add that someone from the prairies built it?

10:00 am

wh not - I have a husband who would snowshoe golf if there was such a thing

10:00 am

better to build a golf course, than houses.

10:01 am

true, mixi

10:01 am

Yes.

10:05 am

A friend of mine lives next to a former golf course. The owner went bankrupt. The golf course became a jungle. Lots of wildlife out there now. The only downside is that my friend keeps losing her dogs in there. Can't see them in the high weeds.

10:06 am

woo found an 8

10:06 am

That's very cool, judi. The pesticides from these golf courses can really damage the ground water quality

10:06 am

and the runoff

10:07 am

I never thought of that, Harry.

10:07 am

halfway!

10:07 am

There is a pond there too. Dogs love to go diving in. Dogs get covered in mud & goose poop, then run through the weeds. Come home covered in muck, ticks and stickums.

10:08 am

yeah - sometimes our first instinct is to think "better farms and golf courses than McMansions"...but given the state of conventional agriculture and lawn maintenance, it's not so clear.

10:08 am

no pesticides or herbicides allowed around here --- very strictly controlled because there are so many vineyards and orchards around

10:10 am

everything gets sprayed with lime-sulpher in early spring and that's about it

10:12 am

re5/16.....clue please

10:12 am

Anyone have a clue for the Ap8?

10:12 am

I wouldn't buy a house that is in a flood plain.

10:13 am

sound advice, mixi

10:13 am

nope - tried applette, but that didn't work

10:13 am

Ditto, Nan.

10:13 am

sound like to get hit over the head again lightly.

10:14 am

heh good clue

10:14 am

rhymes with Charlie Parker's musical genre

10:14 am

a strong craving or desire

10:15 am

Are these clues for the same word?

10:15 am

mmm - no appetite

10:15 am

ap8 - starts like hungry + canvas shelter

10:15 am

i'm lost on this one.. too obscure

10:15 am

Don't know who Charlie Parker is.

10:15 am

jazz player judi

10:15 am

I am still looking for re5/16, please

10:15 am

sax player

10:15 am

Ty, Mixi!

10:15 am

got the ap8. ty. the other clues were for re5

10:15 am

Yes, I have been lost with clues for a while. Too vague for me.

10:16 am

*looks at Judi's country western album selection*

10:16 am

ty mixi

10:16 am

Well, that would explain my lack of Charlie Parker knowledge. Avoid country music like the plague.

10:16 am

The Oak Ridge Boys judi .. ?? really?

10:16 am

Died at the age of 35.

10:17 am

ty for the re5 clues

10:17 am

listens only to classical music....

10:17 am

Really, mixi?

10:17 am

any clues for the top lone E or the lone O?

10:18 am

I just saw a 14 year old, violinist, his father drives him 7 hours to Juilliard, every 2 wks for violin lessons.

10:18 am

now that is a father

10:19 am

Hmmm. Wonder if they've heard of Skype.

10:19 am

dedication. I'd be a professional, if I had it.

10:19 am

well I drive my kid 8 minutes to little league practice!

10:19 am

That counts too, Harry.

10:19 am

Yes, and the kid is a passionate violinist already. He practices 3 hrs daily.

10:19 am

that's being a good father too harry :D

10:19 am

(though sometimes I make him walk...)

10:19 am

you sure the kid isn't stringing his father along scrab?

10:20 am

oooo.....

10:20 am

the kid must be embowed with a lot of ability :D

10:20 am

Well, this kid wants to attend Juilliard so I think the kid and father are paving the path.

10:20 am

hola Dr Scrabs! wanted to let you know we took Baby K to the pediatric pulmonologist on wednesday

10:20 am

hi all not getting the clue for the ap8

10:20 am

maybe he is bowing to parental pressure

10:20 am

tilappier: more fishy

10:20 am

Ah, I see your pun now, ruru. ;-)

10:21 am

Aha, and the commentary, Eva?

10:21 am

or fingering to be a concert performer some day

10:21 am

you think the kid fiddles with the radio dial on the way into the city?

10:22 am

VIola! Nan :D

10:22 am

you had it right on the nose. they did chest xrays (what an "adventure" for an infant!) and decided its infant asthma. gave is Rx'es for an oral and an inhaled steroid.

10:22 am

just water over the bridge!

10:22 am

got the ap8

10:22 am

wtg scrab!

10:23 am

a concert violinist never fiddles!!! --- fine tunes maybe

10:23 am

Aha, Dr Scrabbler made a long-distance diagnosis. Haha. Years of experience gave me that one.

10:23 am

still back at the jazzy CW sax player -- no closer to the re 5

10:23 am

what do you bass that on Nan?

10:24 am

don't do f-holes?

10:24 am

*waiting for the punniness to end*

10:24 am

remember that band Hansen? they had a one-hit mmmmm***?

10:24 am

(scrabs will be waiting a lOOOOONG tme)

10:25 am

sorry nan - that was a clue for you :)

10:25 am

yeah. doc thinks with the meds, he will be better by the time we go back next week. now, the fun challenge -- getting him to take the oral meds. lil guy thrashed his head around more than a heavy metal drummer when we try to give it to him!

10:25 am

there was a band hansen?

10:25 am

Yes, I am thinking about how many words you can come up with.

10:25 am

we prefer to forget hansen.

10:25 am

Sounds like giving a pill to my pup

10:26 am

don't have any re's for that mattre

10:26 am

Oral prednisolone tastes terrible. Mix it something, if you can, to mask the taste. But the inhaled steroid will kick in in 3 days so that will help.

10:26 am

later all. gotta get a haircut.

10:27 am

oh, lovely! if id known that, i would have asked the pharmacy if they had that flavored additive to make it taste a little better...

10:27 am

I think it was hanson wasn't it?

10:27 am

would it be possible to mix it into his bottle? or would that ruin it?

10:27 am

ooooooooh drugs! i'm taking antibiotics

10:28 am

Eva, if you know he would ingest ALL of it.

10:28 am

it may be worth a try, so long as the meds would still be as effective taken that way

10:29 am

Pa8?

10:29 am

They have pill pockets for dogs. Maybe there's a pill ookie for kids

10:29 am

kids don't eat ookie things bichon

10:29 am

alas, bichon, hes not really on solids yet!

10:29 am

pa 8, pl of the pa 7, colors on a board for painting

10:30 am

I have pa 8 and ap8. help with last 8 pls

10:30 am

His dose must be low, so the volume must be about 3 ml?

10:30 am

Ty, Bichon. *must remember to always try plural *

10:30 am

The problem with struggling to get kids to take meds is they don't forget.

10:31 am

yw Judi

10:31 am

yup. 3 ml

10:31 am

Pi8. Tiny plumbing network.

10:32 am

ty Judi

10:32 am

bbl

10:32 am

In older kids we advise mixing it with chocolate syrup.

10:32 am

crack pipes for little people judi :D

10:34 am

Eva, the oral steroid jumpstarts his improvement. The inhaled steroid will take effect in 3 days and then h will improve. So he will get better.

10:34 am

i have a little pacifier-cup thingy that is made for giving liquid meds. that works sometimes, but other times, no dice. but perhaps if i mix some formula or something in there, it might improve the flavor, but i could be more sure hes getting it all...

10:36 am

Can you put the meds in a nebulizer, Eva?

10:37 am

Down to 50 and this grid is growing tiresome.

10:37 am

Lunch approaching. Pondering what to go get.

10:38 am

I'm going to make a smoothie

10:38 am

not the oral one, judi

10:38 am

burrata with toast and spiced lentils judi

10:38 am

I would put it in his bottle, Eva, as long as you know he will drink all of it.

10:40 am

But wouldn't the taste of the meds queer the bottle

10:40 am

If the med is diluted in 6-8 oz of formula he may not notice.

10:41 am

would mixing it into a bit of fruit flavoured syrup work?

10:41 am

Isn't there some squeeze thing that would get it down easily

10:41 am

he usually takes 4-6oz, so if i know hes particularly hungry, that would be easy. (i send 4 ox bottles to day care because thats what fits in their fridge, but at home he usually gets 6oz bottles)

10:43 am

Try putting it in a bottle, Eva.

10:43 am

when our youngest was little we gave him alupent when he had an asthma attack (think it tasted like liccorice) which came in a bottle with an eyedropper.

10:44 am

ill try the bottle, scrabs. worst case, he waste a dose + we're no worse off than we were before.

10:44 am

Ah, Alupent syrup. That brings back memories from 30+ years ago.

10:45 am

try 45 years ago!

10:45 am

I recall using it in med school and residency.

10:46 am

may not be the greatest thing now, but it was the best at the time --- worked really quickly to get the airway open

10:48 am

Management of asthma has progressed so much, and is SO much better for kids, and their parents. Inhaled steroids was the gamechanger.

10:48 am

75 to go and I am done. Enjoy the day.

10:48 am

I use Advair and Montelukast and voila, no more asthma

10:49 am

thakns for all your help, Doc! :)

10:50 am

I use montelukast too bichon

10:50 am

it has been the best for me.

10:50 am

Advair is really a game changer, but, it is expensive

10:51 am

too much steroid for me.. I started speaking Austrian :D

10:53 am

are you sure it wasn't hauling wine to the CA capitol that did that?

10:53 am

You are welcome, Eva. I am so happy that Baby K is getting the right treatment now. He will be so much better in a wek or two.

10:53 am

HA nan

10:53 am

*week

10:53 am

Ru, we were in German Rhine country. Those slopes are so steep

10:54 am

*wine

10:54 am

10:54 am

are you home now bichon?

10:54 am

I asked how they could harvest the grapes and they said they get people from Poland to do it.

10:55 am

Yes nan, unfortunately

10:55 am

we caravanned there in a group. Took the wrong road and were climbing practically vertically! People were coming out to watch us!!

It's a fun word to say. Try it!

Nope. Google it.

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/accou\ntrement

I agree with Samantha. French in origin.

11:49 am

the French way is accoutremente isn't it? maybe it is spelled both ways

11:49 am

So I guess the other is also a valid alternate spelling. We both learned something, yay! (But mine's more fun to say.)

11:50 am

Dictionary dot com says mine is the British spelling, and ruru's is the American

11:53 am

I know the French spelling.. but am unsure if the French spell it that way

11:54 am

wow.. found my last r.. never saw that word before

11:54 am

A large part of my early childhood was spent being educated with Brits, so I'm actually really good at spelling things in ways that are completely wrong in America. :/

11:58 am

on my brother's wedding invitations, there was the wording "We request the honour of your presence..." no one noticed the "honour" because my parents are british (and my brother had a hard time reading with dyslexia + dysgraphia) i took one look at it + said "did you intend to spell it the british way?"

11:59 am

Honestly I think too much is made of "correct" spelling. It just seems to be another gatekeeper to separate people.

12:00 pm

probably true.. I tend to not care most of the time.. Jillibus used to correct my spelling all the time :D

12:00 pm

Of course without correct spelling this game wouldn't exist.

12:01 pm

its kinda funny -- i have a friend who is a teacher + for her, she uses proper spelling, grammar + punctuation in everything...emails, text messages, the whole nine yards...it drives her nuts to see it wrong.

12:01 pm

for me, i was an english major + its very important to me that important, official things are correct. but personal communications...im lazy. (as you can all see here!)

12:02 pm

me too.. I often incorrectly spell a word here

12:02 pm

i can only imagine that folks who only know me on here must think i dont know proper grammar + punctuation!

12:02 pm

I generally communicate the way she does, with occasional modernities for effect, but it's habit, not judgement.

12:03 pm

when my friend mentioned that, i had to apologize to her for every text ive ever sent and would ever send. heh

12:04 pm

I'm done. Any clues before I go? There are some strange words here.

4:13 pm

good evening all

4:13 pm

Sprite! good morning

4:13 pm

lyn! *hugs* xxx

4:14 pm

You must have had a busy day, never see you at this time

4:15 pm

How are you all?

4:15 pm

I did! Lovely day of family constellations. Just got home and had a very late dinner. And now the rest of babble. How are you and yours?

4:17 pm

We are all very well down here.

4:17 pm

that is very good to hear

4:18 pm

What is news with your clever Caya?

4:20 pm

she is doing great. Very much enjoying college life, fascinated by her study and all in all a very happy young lady.

4:21 pm

wonderful - and Tim, settling down yet?

4:22 pm

he is. Quit his study, again, but is now working and finding his way there, and he is not giving up when it gets hard, so that is progress. And he is a lot easier to live with nowadays too. Guess we made it :D

4:23 pm

Thats good too

4:24 pm

we go back quite a few years, lyn... you lived through it all with us, seeing the kids grow up.

4:27 pm

I heard a lovely thing the other day. "Alll children are a gift, but sometimes you have to wait for the gift to be opened". The woman who said it then said "My children are in their 40s and I'm still waiting for their gifts to be revealed"

4:28 pm

ouch. That is a long wait. I have to admit, both our children are a gift to us, most of the time.

4:30 pm

who ever thought it gets easier as the kids get older was kidding themselves!

4:31 pm

It can often be harder being a parent of adult children!

4:31 pm

right now, it seems to be getting easier. But I believe you that there may be challenges ahead still.

4:33 pm

well. I found 99 words, need to do some chores around the house. I hope to come back and finish the puzzle, it's been so long since I played last. Happy Mother's day to you (In case I don't encounter you again before then...)

4:33 pm
