Hi and hugs, Sprite

1:31 am

How are you today and how's your week been?

1:32 am

*hugs Liz* Hello dear friend! How are you and your beloved doing?

1:32 am

We're fine - not liking the rainy weather.

1:33 am

I am fine, and very excited about Rose and Don's visit. It is getting real close now! My week has been mostly wonderful.

1:33 am

ugh no, I can imagine. You are used to better weather there.

1:33 am

Mostly wonderful is great. When do Rose and Don arrive?

1:34 am

on the 31st.

1:35 am

So yes, that's getting really exciting. I bet they are even more excited. Such a big adventure.

1:35 am

glad to hear you and your beloved are fine.

1:35 am

Looking forward to seeing loads of pics :)

1:36 am

you can be assured of those, I think. Don is an avid photographer. I will ask my love to take some too, so that Don will feature in some as well

1:37 am

Perhaps share them in a drop box. I never saw any of Don's photos from when they were here.

1:37 am

that was a weird, repetitive sentence, lol, but you know what I mean

1:38 am

Of course I understood.

1:38 am

that is a good idea. And Rose said we would make a folder on Flickr too.

1:38 am

Not so keen on Flickr but whatever, it'll be great to see.

1:39 am

Not liking this grid and I've only got a couple more minutes spare.

1:39 am

I think Rose and Don will send me all pictures anyway, somehow, so I can drop them in our dropbox for you. No worries.

1:39 am

Wonderful.

1:41 am

it is a rather tight one for sure, this grid. I am odd in that I like those too, I know.

1:41 am

Got to go - things to do. BBL to finish. Hugs, Sprite

1:41 am

*hugs* for you and your beloved. Have a lovely evening and a peaceful night.

2:37 am

8:21 am

hello Dr Scrabs!

8:23 am

HI K's mama. Is he doing much better?

8:23 am

can somebody help me with sa6 please?

8:24 am

somewhat, but not MUCH. pulse-ox numbers went up a bit, which doc was happy with. he wont tolerate the mask while awake + since hes sleeping on his belly these days, we cant do the mask while hes asleep, so we've been trying to make do with the blow-by. but the meds were expensive, so i asked if we had other options. we ended up getting an inhaler with a tube/mask, which K is taking to much better, so we are hoping for significant improvements now!

8:26 am

nm. done!

8:26 am

Inhaler with chamber with mask is what we prefer--easier and quicker than a nebulizer. So I would have put him on Flovent 44 2 puffs twice daily.

8:26 am

Yay Harry!

8:27 am

i dont know why they didnt just do this first! so much easier, fast, less traumatic + we are so much more sure he is actually GETTING the meds.

8:27 am

wishing your baby the best, eva. My daughter has asthma, and the first time her pulse ox was in the 80s it was very scary.

8:27 am

oh, dear harry. we are lucky that our guy just has baby asthma, which he should overcome. ::fingers crossed::

8:28 am

Even though you still have to fight with your kid it is a brief fight.

8:28 am

he doesnt even really fight this way. he does cry (which i know is actually good!) by hes not swatting his hands at us or thrashing his head around. it's like he knows it will be over quickly.

8:29 am

OK, I need to go now. I wanted to get the update. Tell Baby K to cooperate and let his airway inflammation resolve.

8:30 am

thanks, doc! have a lovely day + weekend if i dont see you again!

8:30 am

hagd all

8:31 am

Hiking now, selling my art at the farmers market tomorrow, making more art Sunday. Woohoo!

hello....back to finish the nasty little grid...maybe... ;o)

1:34 pm

there are some weird words in this grid...

1:35 pm

*waving to the lurkers*....

1:48 pm

*waving at everyone*... I had to get a new modem from Comcast/ Xfinity yesterday; we were having connection problems for a total of 16 hours! Things are working now (after a total of 3 1/2 hours on the phone with "help" desk).I'm just glad *I* was the one working on this because both DH & my son would have thrown the new modem at the wall or something as bad. It was very frustrating; gave me a major headache last night; etc. but 1 thing I do have is tons of patience!.

1:49 pm

hi nef...

1:49 pm

glad you are back online....can be very frustrating..

1:49 pm

Hi pen! (I need Babble time to relax now.) How are you?

1:53 pm

good, thanks....i am afraid this grid is not too relaxing... ;o)

1:55 pm

You are right on that; but I'm not fretting about finishing the grid. I've found a total of 23 words so far; if this gets too frustrating, I will quit. How many words do you have left to find?

1:55 pm

4...

1:55 pm

1 now...

1:56 pm

Oh, WOW! You are good! :-)

1:56 pm

hah...i did list at 24....helped a lot...

1:57 pm

Was that when it got tough? The last 24?

1:57 pm

do you have sa 5/12 by any chance?

1:58 pm

No, but I'll help you look!

1:58 pm

thanks....it's impossible!

2:00 pm

2:00 pm

SA 5/12 - Something you dip torilla chips in but change the last consonant

YAY, penquis!!! WTG!!!!

2:01 pm

2:01 pm

Got it! Thanks megs!!!

2:01 pm

megsy...i like your pic and the words expressed...

2:02 pm

YW... Thanks Pen

2:03 pm

LOL, megs! Have you had that for a while or did you post it for me? (

2:15 pm

My son is a QA specialist for a couple of small program development companies (not sure what they call the companies that design & build new niche programs; but his job is to make them work & try to break the programs). He basically works for 1 company in the daytime before his son comes home; then the other one after his son is in bed at night. After we'd worked on this thing for about 4 hours last night with calls on my cell phone for 1 1/2 hours & depleting the phone battery, *he* was extremely frustrated & we were both ready to bite each others' heads off. I had a massive headache & went to bed then (somewhere around 3 AM); not sure when he gave up though.

2:23 pm

what an ordeal!

2:29 pm

(and he's ADHD, too; so you can imagine how he was!)

2:30 pm

trying not to think about it....:o0

2:31 pm

The good news is that he will be glued to his computer most of today just to catch up with where he should be' though!

2:35 pm

i bet...

2:53 pm

That's the most "exciting" part of my week; & I'm now stuck with 45 word left right now. I think I'd better get moving here; not sure if I should take a nap or start doing some laundry though. BBL; after I've done one or the other (or even both?) of those choices.

2:54 pm

see you later, nef...

3:25 pm

hello everyone

3:28 pm

hi...

3:28 pm

i am in and out...

3:53 pm

Thanks for the status update Pen : P

3:56 pm

Hello Molly

3:56 pm

Are you ready for a serious health update?

4:00 pm

Spill Ruby

4:04 pm

*wishes he was in and out*

4:07 pm

That is rhetorically speaking of course

4:20 pm

What's going on Rubyfoo?

4:47 pm

No worries Ru. Your comments in Babble chat are never misconstrued. Usually you get a "Silly Ruru" comment. : P

4:52 pm

I guess when one is silly all the time....,

5:09 pm

back for my final 5

5:15 pm

Depends on whether or not a comment is taken as "silly" or...well, you know. : D

5:29 pm

It can be slippery

5:32 pm

The slope that is

6:07 pm

Yes, slippery slope. Or maybe it all depends on how dramatic life is for those making the decisions.

6:44 pm

Back

6:45 pm

I could do with a little less drama

6:47 pm

Hi Ruby - is everything OK?

6:48 pm

Hi lynxx

6:50 pm

Hi ruby; are you okay? (I saw your earlier post here a bit ago).

6:51 pm

hi Nef

6:51 pm

hi lynxxx, how are you doing?

6:51 pm

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry anybody

6:52 pm

very well Nef

6:52 pm

Tough week

6:53 pm

We are all just concerned about our dearest friend in France Ruby

6:53 pm

So, what's up ruby? When someone we've "known for a long time posts something; I think a bunch of us do get concerned

6:54 pm

I'm in the midst of tests and my cancer meds have stopped working

6:54 pm

Oh No!

6:55 pm

I think that I'll probably start on something else, but I won't know for a month

6:55 pm

What have you found out so far?

6:55 pm

v. glad there is a plan B

6:56 pm

I've been taking arimidex for two years and in the padt 4 months, the CA markers have spiked

6:56 pm

oh POOH!

6:56 pm

And I've suddenly become very anemic

6:57 pm

At least I know why I'm so tired

6:57 pm

which only makes you feel even worse I guess.

6:58 pm

Aside from being sleepy, I feel OK, just worried

6:58 pm

(not sleepy at night, however lol)

6:59 pm

I don't blame you for worrying, Ruby. Did the docs encourage you to do anything for the anemia? (vitamins, iron pills, etc)?

6:59 pm

I blame it on Netflix!

7:00 pm

not being sleepy at night?

7:00 pm

or the anemia? :-)

7:00 pm

I juist learned of its seriousness today and the GP is talking about a shot of iron

7:00 pm

Sleeping at the wrong times. I was just kidding about Netflix

7:03 pm

Iron shots do help if you need them Ruby; how bad is the anemia? As far as I've seen, the shots do not cause as much constipation as the iron pills (but then again, your hemoglobin must be fairly low for him to choose the shot over the pills)

7:04 pm

Because I'm on morphine, I'm reluctant to take iron pills

7:04 pm

So was I when I asked if the Netflix caused the anemia! ;-)

7:05 pm

(((ruby))) Gentle hugs to you ruby.

7:06 pm

I'm loving this spring, so this news kind of knocked me for a loop

7:08 pm

Is your weather nice this spring? (Here in MN we are having our "theater of seasons" again; it was in the 80's 3 days ago, now after 2 days of rains its been in the 40's & low 50's (F)

7:11 pm

It's still chilly at night but warm weatherr comes back when the rain stops. The garden is spectacular this year but I'm growing tomatoes in potson the deck instead of in the potager

7:14 pm

LOL! *my* garden has been taken over by tall spindly dandelions that blossomed out & in (maybe 1/2 hour) bolted from flowers to the flyaway seeds! I don't used chemicals; & I'm sure my one fussy neighbor isn't happy that he lives right next to that dandelion patch!

7:15 pm

(It was supposed to be a whole bunch of perineal plants ; but it looks like I lost about half of them.

7:16 pm

The dandelions here are huge but what used to be grass is full of "wild flowers" (weeds) and moss

7:17 pm

Hi all - sorry to see that you're having a tough time, Ruby. Hope things are back on track very soon.

7:17 pm

The first couple of years I put in hollyhocks, lupin, foxglove and MANY other plants that flowered only once or twice

7:20 pm

I don't even remember what all I planted last year; bee balm, colyopsis (sp?), some sort of perennial daisy and asters (or at least they looked like that) and several plants that are very dead this year.

7:21 pm

The second year I had more than 300 tulips planted. One year later there were about 100. The third year about 10.

7:22 pm

I think that the locals dig them up for winter

7:23 pm

I had better go to sleep now, it's almost 2:30! Good night

7:24 pm

Oh, my! It sounds like you & I are not the best gardeners, ruby! (I have a very dead spirit that I keep hoping will come back to life, and a huge forsythia that had maybe 15 or 20 flowers on it this year.

7:25 pm

Good Night ruby. Sending healing thoughts & prayers to you now.

8:41 pm

hello - anyone still here?

8:50 pm

Hi nan, I'm back now

8:50 pm

Are you still here?

8:51 pm

hi nef -- 50 down and struggling with this one

8:51 pm

Yeah, I have 24 left myself.

8:52 pm

an 7 please?

8:52 pm

That bottom row, 2nd column T has me stumped; how about you?

8:52 pm

or en 8?

8:53 pm

tr 4/5, tr 4/6 are the two I have from there

8:56 pm

there isn't an al 7; theres an al 6 and an an7

8:57 pm

need both

8:57 pm

the en8 relates to thermodynamics & means total heat

8:58 pm

hello all! (((((nan))))) long time no see.

8:59 pm

the al 6//24 starts out as a man's name then the last 2 letters are a chemical ending

8:59 pm

Hi stid!

9:00 pm

the an 7/36 = an + vowel + app. of heavy (mis-spelled)

9:01 pm

I have a tr 4/5

9:02 pm

got the al, ty -- what is app. ?

9:02 pm

thanks for the tr4/6, nan

9:03 pm

(auto correct for OPP.) opposite

9:03 pm

ty nef

9:06 pm

nan, the last word for that bottom row T is tr 5/12; extend the previous word but twist back on it close to where the word started

9:07 pm

ty nef

9:10 pm

I'm having so much trouble just trying to find some of the 6 letter words here.

9:13 pm

listed about 5 words ago and still having trouble

9:15 pm

I listed right after I said hi to you the first time tonight.

9:18 pm

do you have pa 6 -- let's (talk)

9:19 pm

nope, but I just got the last pa6 --

9:20 pm

(it's kind of a bribe)

9:20 pm

2 left

9:22 pm

Thanks, nan for the other pa 6; that took me a while to figure out how to spell it (I was ssayingit wrong too)

9:22 pm

yes - have that -- just need the en 8 now

9:22 pm

en 8/60 that is

9:23 pm

Oops! I forgot there were 2; the clue I gave you before is for that word.

9:24 pm

(I still have 8 left; this is a tough grid for me!)

9:25 pm

dpm

9:25 pm

the first en8 starts with the same first 4 letters; then soundalike a guys' name in the 1960's song "what's it all about **f*

9:26 pm

don't see a clue for en 8/60 anywhere

9:26 pm

8:57 PM; just before stid popped in & left again

9:27 pm

off the board now

9:27 pm

don't know the xong

9:27 pm

*song

9:28 pm

What's it all about, **f*e? Is it just for the moment we live? (Dionne Warwick sang it

9:28 pm

no idea nef

9:28 pm

en 8/60 - same first 4 letters plus the swiss ***s and the sometime vowel

9:29 pm

wasn't into pop music in the 60's

9:29 pm

It's from a movie back then. (Darn, I thought you were about my age or so & would know that one!)

9:29 pm

ty chrisk

9:30 pm

Thanks chrisk, I'm terrible at cluing sometimes

9:31 pm

I was still in high school in 1960 and very involved with 2 symphonies, 2 string groups and musical theatre.

9:31 pm

*!* - ty nef and chrisk

9:32 pm

YAY nan!

9:33 pm

hi stid -- how are you doing? -- looking forward to the end of the school year?

9:33 pm

So you're a little bit older than me nan. Once I get a clue stuck in my head, I can't think of a way to change it. The song was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David to promote the 1966 film by the same title

9:33 pm

we had an offer on our house today and are hoping our counter will be accepted

9:34 pm

nef - we're about the same age. I got if from your clue.

9:34 pm

YAY, cybernate!!!! WTG!!!

9:34 pm

Yes and no, of course... I love the kids but I am so tired!

9:35 pm

In 66 I was a new mom -- no room for much else in my life!

9:35 pm

sorry nan; auto correct got your name wrong again

9:35 pm

haola

9:35 pm

oops - but it's not a word

9:35 pm

stid, it seems the kids here are just full of too much energy (&lots of it is wrongly-directed in school this week too!)

9:36 pm

grade three right? --- my favourite year was grade 4 -- time to take them from spoon fed into some independence -- a challenge though

9:36 pm

yes, chris, we are the same age. AND you live here in MN too!

9:37 pm

off to watch jeopardy -- back at the flip if I'm still awake -- good night everyone

9:38 pm

Niters nan.

9:39 pm

enjoy, nan!

9:44 pm

our kids were still reeling from the testing last week... and the weather has been getting humid as well as warm -- and they are already pre-grieving the end of the school year. *sigh* they tend to act up when they are under stress.

9:45 pm

Yes I do - just got fireworks!! Thanks for the clues everyone

9:45 pm

this grid is just nasty even with the list. I've been trying to find the et5/16 forever, & just now realized I had to go UP, not down!

9:45 pm

YAY chris!!!! WTG!!!

9:45 pm

I am down to 31 listless but it's not easy going now.

9:45 pm

YAY chrisk!

9:47 pm

this past week there was a fight on the playground; 2 kids were moved out of my grandson's classroom, and he got bullied - by someone he considered his friend!

9:48 pm

He's in 2nd grade! I keep thinking what are these kids going to be like next year or several years down the road?

9:51 pm

I listed at 24 I think; to me it's the 6 letter words that are the worst for me in this grid. I still have 6 to find!

9:54 pm

Hi all! Just got fireworks! Story of clues already in profile

9:55 pm

Hi Min!! How are you?

9:55 pm

any hints for both of the PA 6/27 words?

9:56 pm

Hello Nef! How are you? I was not going to Babble today.I couldn't resist such a small grid,even if it was an5/14ing.

9:56 pm

I'm okay, Min. I'm glad to see you too!

9:56 pm

That first pa 6/27 word means to bet or gamble maggiej.

9:57 pm

maggie, the first pa6 is to talk, to work out a truce, maybe?

9:57 pm

The second pa6/27 word is payment for secret promotion

Hi Min.

9:58 pm

the 2nd pa6 is the winnings of bribe

9:58 pm

hi neil, haven't seen you for a while!

9:58 pm

tyvm

9:58 pm

Hello Neil!I just got here.How are things with the family?

Just great thanks, Min. :) And you?

Hi Nef.

9:59 pm

What a cute baby (& on such a tired Dad!!!)

Thanks, Nef (and definitely!!)

10:00 pm

I'm suffering from my yearly Spring allergies. Other th4/5 that I am hanging in there. Got 1st taste of summer in NY

10:00 pm

I remember those days; (thank goodness humans have babies when we're younger!)

Yeah... still exhausting though!

10:02 pm

Do you know what you're allergic to Min? I use that plain old saline nose spray & it really helps if you have a problem with pollens.

Sorry to hear that, Min... doesn't sound like much fun.

10:06 pm

I am allergic to EVERYTHING under the sun; dust, flowers grass,pollen,trees weeds, & even my dog. Nose look likes Rudolph's and my eyes look like Niagra Falls.So miserable

10:07 pm

Ooh yuk! Looking at the world through swollen puffy eyes during the spring -- hopefully not all summer!

10:07 pm

I was up from 4:00 to 5:30 coughing and blowing my nose

10:09 pm

I hope you can sleep better tonight. :-(

10:10 pm

I hope so too Nef. Thanks! I should be in bed already, but I had to enter my last word. I actually forgot I had 1 left.

10:12 pm

LOL! You ALWAYS leave one (or at least you used to - to get FW with someone in the evening)

10:14 pm

I still try to get FWs with someone else, but I figure most people are done this late at nite with such a small puzzle

10:17 pm

man, I keep disappearing -- Grant came home with the same migraine I am dealing with, and I put Wally in the crate because he has been constantly in my face since I got home. :-) It hasn't been a relaxing evening yet!

10:19 pm

Sorry, I'm stuck on my very last word & have been staring at the grid to find it,

10:20 pm

Stid, Is your headache due to the weather?

10:20 pm

yes

10:20 pm

They are triggered by so many things, but this is clearly a weather-graine.

10:21 pm

so both you & Min are "under the weather" tonight. (I know the feeling too!)

10:22 pm

Hello stidmama! How are you? Getting ready for the end of your school year? When is your last day? My last day is the 26th. We have to make up a snow day. So ridiculous!

10:22 pm

yep -- it will be fine by morning, though. :-)

10:22 pm

:-) We made up a weather day last month so we get out on time next month on the 14th.

10:22 pm

FW (finally)

10:23 pm

I will be ready by the time they leave, but right now I am a little wistful and sad.

10:23 pm

I have an ex-wife graine

10:24 pm

My grandsons's school term ends June 10th; then he has 3 weeks of summer science academy

10:24 pm

poor ruru * offers choclits *

10:24 pm

Sorry to hear about your migraine stid.LOL rururocks & hi

10:24 pm

I thought if you have an ex-wife you wouldn't get headaches anymore, ru

hi all, did ya miss me 8 - )

10:25 pm

Congratulations Nef on fireworks! Should've waited for U.

10:25 pm

Hi Gwen! Of course!

10:25 pm

It started with a pain in my ass

10:26 pm

Hi there Book Doctor Gwen!Welcome back to Babbleland

10:26 pm

LOL! ru, sometimes; ---:-).

10:26 pm

hey BDG!

10:27 pm

rururocks, I have a current-husband graine as you know. I think he will still be a migraine after this is all over with.

10:28 pm

Exes do graine against you

10:28 pm

I wish I could migrate and imagine being somewhere else

10:29 pm

How are things proceeding with it, Min?

10:34 pm

Had a 4 way conference where nothing was accomplished

10:35 pm

I am sorry minver

10:36 pm

Husband is now trying to keep the house. Don't know how he thinks he can do that with no job. I think he is just as stupid as our esteemed POTUS. Anyway, we shall see.

10:36 pm

He is delusional minv

wow, now that's stupid.

10:37 pm

He is also $24,000.00 in debt with Discover suing him too

10:38 pm

He will never get a loan. Tell him he is being ridiculous

10:39 pm

Husband thinks that I should continue to pay mortgage as maintenance. I want nothing to do with it. I want to sell.

10:40 pm

What does your attorney say min?

no points for tetrap

10:40 pm

I do not want my name tied to the mortgage or house. If Discover or any other credit card decides to put a lien on the house, I will never be able to sell it & I will be stuck.

10:41 pm

Absolutely. Bail on this min and sell it

10:42 pm

Attorney said I could give him money for mortgage and if he fails to pay th 4/5 we go after him for failing to keep up his end of the bargain. I told her I didn't want to do it

10:43 pm

Your attorney is nuts

10:43 pm

I do not want to do it for 2 reasons: 1 my credit gets shot and 2 that is another battle I don't want to have in court.

10:44 pm

Yes. Dont do it

10:44 pm

Untie your credit from him asap

10:44 pm

Wow! Why would she want to put your crediting jeopardy?

10:44 pm

Now both my parents want to get involved and meet with my attorney which I do not want that to happen either! I do not need a million and two people involved in this.

10:45 pm

Nope. I agree with you on that

10:45 pm

Told parents I am a big girl and can fight my own battles.

10:45 pm

I hope it clears up soon for you min

10:47 pm

I know how tough it was for my son; but other than giving him a ride to his attorney once for an emergency meeting; I stayed out of his business. (it was very hard, though, because they were both living here in our house until she moved out!)

10:48 pm

I am responsible for half of that debt.Think it is ironic because I worked my ass at a steady job for 19 years.I have a great retirement, a 403b and a savings account with credit union. He is entitled to half of the money I have. I am also entitled to half his money, but he has no money.I'm also entitled to half his debt. So he gets my money & I get his debt. I have no debt, but house.

10:49 pm

Ugh. I feel for you minv

10:49 pm

Crazy! And so unfair!

10:50 pm

Completely unfair

10:50 pm

Anyway, I could go on & on but half of this is my fault so I will stop playing the violin now. Thanks for your support

10:51 pm

You will get through it minver

10:52 pm

On that happy note, I really need to go to bed with a box of tissues. Goodnight all and good luck finishing the grid!

10:52 pm

(((Min))) I think it's really necessary for people to have someone or someplace to vent at times like this. I've always found it safe to do so here

10:52 pm

Night min. Take care

10:52 pm

Niters, Min! Sleep well; take care of yourself too!

night to all as well, i'm gone

11:00 pm

sweet dreams Min and BDG

11:01 pm

I am also going out... holding you all in my heart. *poof*

11:02 pm

Niters, stid. Take care & I hope your headache is gone now & you can relax.

11:04 pm

And good night to you too, Gwen. I'm going too; I need some decent sleep after all of the frustrations with dealing with Comcast/Xfinity for the past 2days.

11:05 pm

So, Good Night and Happy Babbling to everyone

11:54 pm
