Hi Lickety - HNY

Hi Lynxxx - long time. Thank you

Same back to you! Still the old regulars here on Babble

Does MrP ever visit?

Hey - just to let everyone know - if there is a downtime to Clues soon, I'll do the best to get it back up and running soon. We are getting NBN here and I'm not entirely sure how it'll go. Cross fingers it'll go smoothly and there will be no interuption.

2:18 am

thanks for the heads up. :)

Amd NBN is an internet thing in AUS - switching from the old ADSL style to a newer Fiber to the Curb and then to the residence via the phone cable (well for me)

2:19 am

I don't always look at the chat nowadays - I think she popped in around 5/6 month ago. Good luck with the NBN...hope you aren't working from home !

2:20 am

NBN = patchwork

I've been working in an office about an hour away from home for about 3.5 years now

With about 250 people in the office. Before for 4 years I was working at home alone. I needed the change badly!

2:21 am

good?

2:21 am

Wow - that's a lot. Still doing Programming I assume

It's alot of fun. I spent an hour with my team today playing Mafia - 7 of us in a room bluffing (well I was the game admin) - but it was hillarias

I haven't written a line of code in that 3.5 years - all leadership now

You can see my spelling hasn't improved :)

2:23 am

Ha. Bet you team appreciates you as much as we do here.

Hey for those who are technophobes check out Replika - there is an app. An AI Chat bot. It is going to write my memoirs and also take over as me when my physical body dies (not for a long time BTW)

2:25 am

I'd better disappear, Patch is whinging for dinner. Lovely to see you around

I'm fascinated by it. There is a great YouTube video from the creators. I called my Replica - Lickety

Replika sorry

Have you seen Babble Mamabear lately?

Is she coming to Australia?

2:32 am

hey lickety!

Hey dfmchfhf - have we chatted before?

2:33 am

loooooong time ago, yeah~

Oh wow - so sorry I forgot - but vaguely - refresh my memory

2:37 am

no worries, dropped Babble from the schedule almost a decade ago and only got back about two months ago

2:38 am

y computer culdn't connect for3 days. ls there a way to get yesterday's puzzle?

2:44 am

hey ruby! you can *see* yesterday's puzzle in the archives (http://www.playbabble.com/5776); don't think that there's an interactive version though

How are you keeping?

3:10 am

l'mnot worse, but i get terribly breathless

3:12 am

Yeah my dad had that though he does have asthma. And some anti-inflammatory drugs make him breathless too. Found that out when he was in hospital.

3:13 am

I mentioned that as you are taking new meds if I remember correctly. Might be worth checking to make sure they are not making it worse.

3:16 am

Have you tried using a walking frame to help you get about downstairs?

3:37 am

10:19 pm

Hi Min! Doing well, how about you?

10:22 pm

stoningtoncat If you google types of tides you will find it. There are only two types of tides higher and lower than average. One is the n4

10:24 pm

Hello jwr!How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid

10:24 pm

hello hello - I'm drying off - got caught in the rain

10:25 pm

I am hanging in there, thank you. I'm going through some really tough times. Thank goodness I have Babble to take my mind off things. I am glad you are doing well bethn.

10:25 pm

I've got 14 left. I'm going to let go, I think, and sink back in the chair and doz.....

10:26 pm

Better rain than snow jwr! Nice to see you briefly. Adios!

10:26 pm

Babble does that, doesn't it. It helps. And it tastes better than aspirin'

10:27 pm

Hope things work out for you. I go poof now.

10:28 pm

I’m sorry you’re having troubles , Min. When last I “saw” you in the chog, you had moved into a new apt. I hope things start looking up soon.

Jvr......finally got it, thank you

10:34 pm

Min, sorry you are going through tough times. Sending good thoughts your way.

Clue for st 5^13

5/12

10:35 pm

What you make when you sew minus a consonant

10:36 pm

Wrong one sorry st4+ consonant

Beth...stil

Stuck

10:38 pm

Min; sorry to hear things are tough for you at this time. I can honestly say, I'm right there with you. Deaths in the family, diagnosis of Severe Obstructive breathing disorder (Sleep Apnea) requiring a C-PAP machine which I am not tolerating. I am having a slight form of panic attack every time I put on the "mask" and I'm feeling worse than when I started. I know it is going to help but how do you convince your mind of that.

10:39 pm

the firs st 5/12 is anagram of the second st 5/12 word if you have the second one (a st*** of paper) stoningtoncat.

10:40 pm

Thank mcurlschool. Fortunately, no death in my family. I am so sorry to hear you had a death in the family though

10:41 pm

I am finished! I have fireworks. hi5/16 was my final word

10:42 pm

My 1st fireworks display this year.I'll help clue if needed.

Mc... i use an Amaraview mask. Not on top of nose.

10:46 pm

hey all -- mcurl... you doing okay? I didn't get a chance to visit/talk with you today! ((((Min))))

10:46 pm

Thank you for your thoughts Min.

10:47 pm

hi all.

10:47 pm

need clues for the i word please

10:47 pm

Congrats on the fireworks , Min!

10:48 pm

I looked at Amara View Masks on google images and it looks like it goes over your knows. Actually looks like a huge contraption over most of your face. Are there different kinds? My ex needs one that doesn't go over the nose. I really should not be concerned about him since he is putting me through the ringer these days.

10:48 pm

oh! YAY Min! :-)

10:48 pm

Thank you bethn and stidmama!Do U guys need any clues

10:48 pm

mkg -- what you scratch

10:49 pm

Thanks Molly!I appreciate it. Sorry for the delayed reply.

10:49 pm

Stoningtoncat; the "mask" I have doesn't go on the nose either it's under the nose; sort of like a nasal canula on steriods! My problem is that I cannot stand anything on my face while i'm sleeping; and that is CANNOT STAND, thus the minor panic attacks. Over the nose; under then nose wouldn't matter for me. I wish there wan an alternative to the mask completely

10:49 pm

Hello stidmama!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

10:49 pm

THANKS! cant believe i missed it. ty

10:50 pm

Sorry he’s still a pain even though he’s your ex.

10:50 pm

Hey Stid; didn't see much of you today so didn't get to wish you a good weekend

10:50 pm

any clues for the E words? thanks

10:51 pm

Loving my class this year, Min. It was a rough day... but overall this class has 80% absolutely "easy" personalities, and 100% wonderful kids.

10:52 pm

ea 4/6: to ea** his own en 6/24 is en plus the opposite of poor et 4/6 is like the i word you just asked about et 4/6 is et plus some people like **e in their sodas

10:54 pm

Glad to hear that stidmama! I have pretty good students this year also. I am very fortunate to have the same kids every year until they test out which takes a long time.

10:55 pm

That is nice, Min -- I think it's fun to be able to watch progress longer-term. :-)

10:55 pm

So each year I pretty much know what to expect when it comes to my students. The only NEW students I get each year the Kindergarten students. They are ALWAYS cute!

10:56 pm

oh, those "littles" are too much for me! LOL I need bigger bodies that are a little more under control!

10:57 pm

Anyway, I MUST get some shut eye, If I can. I can barely sleep with everything that's going on so I am EXHAUSTED

10:57 pm

Hoping to be able to catch up on my sleep. Goodnight all

10:57 pm

sweet dreams Min (((I hope it will be restorative)))

10:57 pm

ty min for all e words. got them all and off to bed.

10:57 pm

night all

10:57 pm

Down to 9 here, not going to finish (too tired as well). Have a great weekend, all!

10:58 pm

night stid

11:05 pm

mcurl, re ur CPAP panic attacks, have u talked to someone about trying nasal pillows instead of the mask? I could not relax with a mask but nasal pillows made it much easier.

11:07 pm

That's what I have. Its a matter of ANYTHING on my face is not acceptable but I'm tyring to make it work because I DO want to be better but the stress from something on my face is making my sleeping worse

11:11 pm

mcurl, there is a treatment called hypoglossus nerve stimulation. it may be the answer you are looking for.

11:12 pm

At first I found the straps were too tight on mine and reduced the tension by cutting away part of each strap to make them narrower. Later I learned to push one strap way down towards the nape of my neck and the other forward on the top of my head which helped a lot.

11:12 pm

or there is oral pressure therapy. only a mouth piece attached to tubing is used.

11:15 pm

mcurl, another option is to turn off your ramp time. i too panic if the ramp is turned on. i feel like i am suffocating.

11:17 pm

I also find the ramp unhelpful

11:17 pm

granny, this is all new to me and they are trying to "dial in" where the pressure needs to be because my insurance company will not pay for the overnight sleep student that would do that. Say it could take 2-3 months before they "get the right pressure". Not sure I want to "suffer" for 2-3 months

11:17 pm

no idea what ramp is

11:20 pm

mcurl, ramp is the slow building of pressure from the machine to your mask. with me, i need to feel the rush of air immediately. the ramp can be turned off, so that the machine immediately starts the positive air flow at full capacity as soon as it is activated.

11:23 pm

anyway, there are three ideas to look at. i hope you find a solution soon. the first night i used my machine, set correctly, i slept in the one position all night. i was utterly exhausted.

11:23 pm

Granny, I'm guessing it must be turned off because I immediately get positive air flow. Tallmike; the only straps go from the plastic tuping on my face around the back of my head

11:24 pm

I hope if find some solution soon as well.

11:26 pm

oh, another thought mcurl. if you don't do it already, try to train yourself to sleep with your mouth closed. it took me a few weeks, but i do that all the time now.

11:26 pm

Separate the straps and push one up and the other down, as I already described. There are pics online which show that is the correct position for the straps. There is also a small user guide with a pic.

Finally. Fireworks. Thanks everyone!

11:28 pm

I do sleep with my mouth closed. It's only one strap TallMike. Thanks for all the thoughts.

11:28 pm

WTG STONINGTONCAT !!
