12:17 am

I see you in Who's Online, Peach.

gapeach, your name is showing now

12:18 am

Really, Liz and diane.....then it must be my puter. Thanks much.

Clues are up

I don't think any of us see our OWN name, .....I don't see my name either.

12:19 am

Same here

Ooops, I do see mine.

12:20 am

Well, I still don't see mine

12:21 am

Mine used to show up all the time.....it has to be my computer acting up.

I guess I just don't remember alphabetical order, LOL

12:21 am

When I refreshed, my name appeared - not before. A glitch I suspect.

12:21 am

OK - I refreshed and now I do see it

Isee you, Gillie :-)

12:37 am

Lickety's clues are different every time i pull it up.

.....and a U.S. state

12:38 am

I just emailed him because there was no announcement of the clues.

12:38 am

Announced at 12:19

12:39 am

Oh! I totally missed that - I'll email him again.

{{{{{{{{ZOOZ}}}}}}}}}

1:53 am

Hello, Rose! How are you doing?

1:53 am

and hello to you too m9

1:55 am

much better dear man. i have discovered that the ibuprofen i was taking was interacting with my other meds. it made me very breathless and sleepy.

1:55 am

how are you and the parents? any sign f cv-19 on your island?

1:56 am

Glad you figured it out

1:56 am

so am i m9

1:56 am

Glad you found that out and have corrected it, Rose!

1:56 am

but did you find an alternative, so you get some relief?

1:57 am

I took Naproxen recently and boy that went right through me. Never touching those tablets again.

1:57 am

There are cases here but not that many thank goodness.

1:58 am

m9. i still have endone up my sleeve, so to speak. and the pharmacist to whom i was talking suggested short spurts of predisone for the osteoarthritis.

1:59 am

so at least something

1:59 am

hey, me too, zooz. my doc was stunned.

1:59 am

Rose, have you tried Voltaren? I take that for osteoarthritis.

1:59 am

for once in your life, zooz, i bet you are so very glad to be on an island.

2:01 am

Nope still think it is crap. I am here for my parents now. after that who knows lol

2:01 am

good suggestion gingin. have heart issues as well so have to be very careful. who knows! i may not need anything if workcover insurance decide the nerve stimulator is a go4.

2:01 am

awww zooz. you are such a wonderful son.

2:02 am

How is Don doing these days, Rose?

2:03 am

hey, i caught up with crosshair again. the two of you are such an integral part of my babble life.

2:03 am

Don is doing fine, thanx. we now have his asthma finally under control.

2:04 am

I often look at the rankings to see who is still playing. I saw Crosshair was still doing some babble. Hope Elegant & himself are well!

2:04 am

it took us nearly three months. different sprays, different puffers, different ways of delivery.

2:05 am

That is good to hear, Rose! Say I said hello 😊

2:05 am

they appear to be, zooz. oh, and guess what ! sprite had another fall. tried to break her arm this time.

2:06 am

They keep on trying to change my dads puffers but he is not having it. Typical man lol

2:06 am

i offered to send a carton of bubble wrap over. her hubby was ever so grateful. said he would line their home with it].

2:07 am

Good grief what is that lady doing to herself? Is it in that small caravan she did it again?

2:07 am

LOL That is hilarious!

2:07 am

i hear you about the puffers. and if the old ones still work, hey, let him have them.

2:07 am

Would be funny if you did and it was outside their caravan one morning!

2:09 am

she fell down a 5cm (about 2") step at her friends home, i think it was. she had plaster for only a short time. she is working with a physio to help regain her movement back.

2:09 am

Hope she is okay though.

2:09 am

oh yeah. zooz, hysterical......not

2:10 am

you did know she has had cv-19?

2:10 am

Ah okay. Another say I said hello for me, Rose the messenger 😜

2:10 am

no problems zooz.

2:11 am

This is a slow grid.

2:11 am

Yes I did. Bless her. Glad she recovered as best she could from that. She has been going through the wars too. We are like a bunch of ole rickety falling apart and stitched back up babblers lol

2:12 am

Yes it is, M9, I still have 117 words to find. Will look for those later though.

2:12 am

it is m9. there are no runs with a stem word. each word is itself.

2:13 am

I'm pretty fried too though. A friend in hospice so I went for an impromptu road trip

2:13 am

was it a long trip, m9? from where to where?

2:14 am

The Oregon gorge up to north of Seattle

2:15 am

We came back over Snoqualmie pass

2:15 am

Rose did I tell you I have what I think is tendonitis of the shoulder/ Frozen shoulder. Took me four months to get a doctoers appointment. He said he thinks I might of fractured my shoulder so went for a hospital scan yesterday. Now got to wait ten days for the results to do to the doctors.

2:15 am

oh, zooz, they have started building the framework for their tiny house. haven't ound where they want to build, but her hubby has started putting bits together.

2:15 am

Oops sorry, aM9 I wrote that before I saw your post. Did not mean to cross post on you.

2:16 am

eek m9. and it's real hot over there too, isn't it?

2:16 am

About time, Rose. It seems a long time a go now. Hope they get it done quickly.

2:16 am

ouch zooz. been there, had the surgery, not going back if i can help it. you poor love.

2:17 am

you didn't zooz. Actually Rose, it's cooled down a bit. It POURED rain yesterday morning!

2:17 am

Glad they are letting people visit now, M9!

2:17 am

hw lovely to have the rain, m9. i bet the farmers were hanging out for it.

2:17 am

but it has been hot over on our side, yes. My husband burnt the bottoms of his feet on the pavement. sigh.

2:18 am

*eye roll * men... for pete's sake. put the shoes on and the mask... loll

2:19 am

LOL

2:19 am

I will not go for surgery, Rose I would rather go for a chiropractor to correct it if I can.

2:20 am

Yes, the hospital she's at are great about letting the family visit!

2:20 am

Good to hear, M9, so important for them to see friends & family.

2:21 am

hmmm. zooz. it really isn't a condition which can be corrected with chiro. the frozen part comes from all the scar tissue inside adhering to itself. and that, i am afraid, ha to be removed surgically.

2:23 am

Damn. I had seen a few videos where they say if you have frozen shoulder it can be fixed by a chiropractor. I am easily led by the looks of it. :-(

2:23 am

the other option is hydrodiatation. done via medical imaging where the doctor inject fluid into the joint until the scar tissue rips apart.

2:24 am

and there is no Jesus handle on the x-ray table. trust me. i looked.

2:24 am

Is that similar to cortisone?

2:24 am

LOL

2:24 am

so it cmes down to what is fr

2:24 am

so it cmes down to what is fr

2:25 am

darn

2:25 am

so it comes down to what exactly is "freezing" your shoulder joint. and as you have the history of a all. well....

2:27 am

Yeah it has been like it for at least four months now so probably gotten quite bad.

2:27 am

there is cortisone in the injection yes. but the majority is saline. it took 250mls to tear the scar tissue in my shoulder. usually it takes about 100mls.

2:28 am

oh i see i left out a letter... hydrodilatation

2:28 am

That much! Give me a hammer I could smash mine up with no injection!

2:29 am

lolll.... coming over to hold your hand. hey, if i can take it...

2:29 am

Hahaha! I am not that brave I'm afraid, Rose even with you holding my hand and a cloth in my mouth haha!

2:30 am

Oh you mean the injection lol yes well if that is what it takes to cure it then fine.

2:30 am

*chuckling* course you are mate.anyone who lives on an island day in day out has to be tougher than li'l ol' me.

2:31 am

Ha! You have been through so much more than I have, Rose! You are one super strong cookie! ❤

2:32 am

mind you, i did work 10 hour shifts full time, for 13 m onths on a fractured ankle.

2:32 am

See what I mean!

2:32 am

*loving you back* mate.

2:33 am

hey, you are still looking after the parents. that takes some doing i know.

2:34 am

We all do what we got to do. Although I do not mind looking after my parents. Least I can do for them. Sad to see them slowly deteriorate though.

2:37 am

i know mate. at least i was able to see mine at the end as they had looked when alive. except poor old mum. she had fallen and her poor face was so badly bruised. but when she died she had only just started to lose her memory.

2:38 am

Alas my time is up already. Very nice to see you, Rose. Hope you look after yourself. Until we meet again. All the best ❤💕

2:38 am

the last time i saw her, she didn't know who i was. when Don and i were leaving (we were in our 50's) she said, that's right. you have to pick up the kiddies from school. it was sad.

2:39 am

zooz, dear man. please take care o you until we can meet irl. xx

2:39 am

((Rose)) That brings tears to my eyes. I am such a soft old fart.

2:40 am

have a good day dear friend.

10:55 am

you weren't alone, mtl

10:56 am

just could not see it !@#$#@

10:58 am

i recommend a show - "The Boys" - on amazon - action drama with a thinking/morality component - but rated MA just so you know - there is sex, swearing, and violence. but it isn't overly dark.

10:59 am

I meant to watch that when s1 came out but never did. will start that or umbrella academy next.

10:59 am

umbrella s2, that is

11:00 am

have been watching Hamish Macbeth on Prime - Scottish show from mid90s. :D only new word I've learned is shinty.

11:00 am

i loved that show, watched it a few years back :)

11:02 am

is it just me or did the new kid they added in S3 have his voice dubbed by a woman? it's so weird, I can't even watch when he is on screen. I wish I knew why they did that. thought for sure it was part of the plot with the singing contest and his voice would change ala Peter Brady, but that wasn't it.

11:02 am

moaning myrtle is in it at the end :D

11:02 am

i don't remember that hokie, don't think i noticed

11:03 am

when I first realized it I watched closely and it's definitely dubbed

11:03 am

you're very observant :D

11:04 am

per imdb that's the only thing that kid's ever been in

11:04 am

moaning myrtle is one of my favorite harry potter characters

11:04 am

The chamber of secrets

11:05 am

it's true, I am very observant, plus I have amazing facial recall. have creeped out people several times with it.

11:05 am

I also love Bellatrix helen bonham carter is fabulous

11:05 am

I didn't realize you were an HP fan, ru.

11:06 am

i like it when i pick out an actor and know where i've seen them before even if they look very different

11:06 am

our friend's kid makes me watch them with him

11:06 am

a lot of times it's the voice that does it

11:06 am

well, if you haven't read the books, you should. way better than the movies

11:07 am

i have so many books to read already hokie.. i am far behind.. trying to make time to finish three i've got going

11:07 am

also the audiobooks read by Jim Dale are fantastic!

11:07 am

i'm rereading them now, am about 3/4 of the way through book 4 at the moment. 2 was better than i remembered! 3 and 4 are my favorites.

11:08 am

after that i start to feel like harry is just stupid for not going to dumbledore, like hello, haven't you learned that lesson YET

11:08 am

I should put those in my reading queue. have read several times and listened to them too. 7 is a little too depressing for me.

11:08 am

agreed, hurshy

11:11 am

were you here when i was asking the other day about the dragon task?

11:11 am

well, it's lunchtime and I never had breakfast guess I will save 81 for later. or never. :D TTFN. well, I'll probably come back while eating.

11:11 am

if he could do "accio firebolt" why not just do "accio golden egg" instead and boom, you win the task in 2 seconds.

11:11 am

I don't think so, hurshy

11:12 am

there are a lot of little plot holes like that. I think Harry isn't particularly smart, just surrounds himself with the right people and gets lucky a lot.

11:12 am

yeah but none of the other champions thought of it either?

11:12 am

maybe it was in the rules they couldn't, but the reader didn't know

11:13 am

i kinda doubt it, but, that's probably the best we can do

11:14 am

yep

11:14 am

ah ... found the TA 8

11:15 am

i ordered a plush pigwidgeon. but they don't seem to make any with sound! and pig is always "twittering madly" - so i also ordered an audobon society bird with a twittering that i liked the sound of and i'm going to pull out the mechanism and put it into the pigwidgeon :D

11:15 am

does it have anything to do with the dance?

11:15 am

LOL, hurshy

11:16 am

yes, i'm crazy

11:16 am

what's more, this won't be the first surgery i've done on a stuffed animal, lol

11:17 am

what was the other HP thing i was wondering about... it has slipped my mind... sigh

11:19 am

egony - the pain & struggle of not having a large ego

11:19 am

lol

11:24 am

hi all. I love living in the "boonies", but one disadvantage is a very poor signal for internet. I keep getting kicked off and have to wait for it to suddenly reappear. Annoying!

11:25 am

if it makes you feel any better that used to happen to me all the time when we had time warner here in the city

11:27 am

and hi!

11:27 am

a friend and I play Scrabble once/week online. I was disconnected and she was winning.. and we weren't able to finish. She was rightfully ticked!

11:28 am

when my sister and i played that, alo, if you were playing a live game and got disconnected, it would just turn into the other kind, where you can play your turn whenever

11:28 am

did she say "yeah, sure your internet went out"?

11:28 am

lol .. we are competitive

11:29 am

i think we played on the lexulous site

11:29 am

was that on ISC, hurshy?

11:29 am

oh.. ok

11:31 am

Oh Wendrie its is soooo hot

11:54 am

11:55 am

It's 30C here - or slightly higher

11:55 am

which is 86F

11:55 am

that's a cool day here

11:55 am

its still 29 and its nearly 6pm

11:57 am

found that x Ty french Toast

11:57 am

we rarely get over 93 -- don't know how you stand it, ru -- would be heading for the mountains if it was me --- thinking somewhere around shasta has to be cooler

11:57 am

ITs muggy and very overcast, no air its nasty

11:58 am

i like the heat actually nan

11:58 am

have to agree - 83 and humid is worse than 93 and dry

11:58 am

it's good for the grapes

11:59 am

yes - well as you know there is a reason we grow mostly whites other than around osooyoos

11:59 am

yw M3

12:00 pm

*osoyoos

12:03 pm

crapot should be a word - no explanation necessary

12:04 pm

agree!

we have streets and parks named after a gov. in Michigan named Crapo-lol

12:04 pm

is the name suitable?

12:05 pm

you would think they'd name the dumps after him

don't know, he was a gov. a long time ago and I haven't researched him

but I do know I certainly wouldn't want to live on that street

12:06 pm

I often wonder why some people just don't legally change their name

yeah, like two people hubby knew-last names of Wimp and Putz

12:09 pm

gotta go shopping for some friends who can't go to the grocery store.. see you guys later

12:12 pm

had a dentist in Oakville named Dr. Schisler -- think I would have changed that! Really nice guy -- the kids thought he was great

12:13 pm

bye ru - your good deed for the day :)

12:14 pm

there was a dentist back home named Dr. Butcher and a dermatologist named Dr. Rasche

12:18 pm

Hey, Carla.

12:18 pm

Hi all. Clue for the ca8 please?

12:20 pm

ca8 is an old chicken + Moonlight Son***

12:23 pm

Any clue for the as 10 please

12:23 pm

ty, BzznBea :-)

12:24 pm

thought a ca 5 was to chcken as steer is to cow

12:24 pm

or I should say ca is to rooster as steer is to bull

12:24 pm

last ge 6/24?

12:25 pm

as/10 is the plural for the as/9, it's the precursor to amino acids.

12:25 pm

only have one and it is a ge 5 plural

12:26 pm

yes me too

12:27 pm

got it/ double vowel at the end cybernan

12:29 pm

I have two ge 6s both are plurals of the ge 5s

12:30 pm

yes -- just found the Italian Rivieera city

12:31 pm

last ge 6 ends with double vowel

12:33 pm

just listed and not there yet -- amazed at all the "adverbs" and "adjectives" that I would never have thought of and don't really think are acceptable english

12:35 pm

a gangster and one who wrote about one -- only the author is accepted

12:41 pm

2nd ca 6/24 please?

12:42 pm

nm - found it

12:47 pm

en 7 please?

12:49 pm

or the et 7?

12:49 pm

the en 7 sounds like the Disney short with dancing hippos/flamingos

12:50 pm

ty wendrie

12:50 pm

the et 7 follows on from the et 4 with a consonant and a fairly common ending

12:51 pm

found the et

12:52 pm

from the french government I assume

12:54 pm

found the last ge - ty

1:04 pm

I didn't think that last ge 6 would be accepted.

1:07 pm

oo 6/30 please?

1:07 pm

nm - found

1:18 pm

bombing out on most of the last few sa's

1:22 pm

sa 7 52 clue please

1:23 pm

sa 7 52 - young wood

1:23 pm

sorry - meant to say young tree :(

1:23 pm

FW thx Wendre :)

1:24 pm

had that one anyway : looking for the pair that follows the sa + orange drink mix and for the last 3 sa's

1:25 pm

the sa 7 36 is related to the 7 28 just before.

1:26 pm

The next two sound as if they should be related to hunting or poaching

1:28 pm

got the last 2, ty

1:28 pm

still missing the sa 6-7 before fulfill and the 7/36

1:39 pm

Ends in a way of catching mice?
