Hi all!
hiya Kam
hello all - i have typed which at least 3 times
hi ursh
* hugs * spritey. how was yesterday darling? is the aftermath too terrible?
hey ya Kam. * hugs *
*hugs rose* It was beautiful, very respectful of who Brigitte was, and the traffic wasn't as bad as predicted. And yeah, the aftermath is beastly.
* hugs * dcseain. still awake mate, i see.
*hugs* Rose
you poor love, sprite. but i am proud of you. still going when you knew the price to be paid.
wouldn't have wanted to miss it. Can you imagine, over 300 people in the church?
wow ! she must have been loved and respected so much.
she was.
i have been feeling really offish since i came home. itchy-scritchy. sort of restless on the inside. finally gave in, took a valium, had a nap this afternoon. awake and feeling so much better. i think i was coming down too quick. does that make sense?
absolutely
Yes, Rose, it makes sense. I'm glad you are feeling better now.
anyway. full st5 ahead here. i can't believe Don ! he hasn't told me he needed some washing done in ages. now he's down to socks neither of us remember he ever had. forced myself to put on a load. would you believe it? it filled the machine, mostly socks for pete's sake... lol
lol
thanks Kam. i love you guys so much. never judging me. supporting me all the time. i don't know what i would do if i didn't have you to talk to.
awwww Rob just told me he can walk Nero this morning. That will give my meds some chance to start doing something
and right back at ya, rose. We will lift eachother up, no matter what
glad you have friends who have your back
i haven't forgotten my promise to send you both painaway cream. have a funeral to cater for on Tuesday, then i can think straight again. okay? btw, Kam? have you looked for Fisiocrem? very similar to painaway.
we have her back, her front, even her bottom
With FM, we gotta do what we gotta do to feel human. I had another off day today, but tomorrow will be better, I'm sure. My thermostat isn't working, so I have to go get a new one so my handyman can install it on Tuesday when he fixes my sink. I woke up freezing at 6:30AM - the thermostat was set on 76F but kept the AC running down to 63F. If I turn it off for 25 minutes, it starts working for a little while. I'm just leaving it off tonight, it's cool enough outside to just leave the windows open.
yeah. it's nice isn't it Diz. and you do know we are here for you too right?
Rose, I'll look.
Rose, no hurries love, no stress
thanks sprite.
poor Kam. there's always something to fix/do. i am very proud of you too. managing on your own like this.
*hugs Kam*
I totally hate not having Michael around! I always have to find someone to fix things and do things I can't do. It's a pain.
very understandable, Kam. You miss him in so many things, and also in the practical ones
Rose, I found the Fisiocrem on Amazon and it sound almost identical to the painaway. I'll just order it and you can forget about sending me anything. One less thing to think about!
oh good Kam. i do hope it helps you.
I hurt so much last night that my body went into panic mode. So I took sleeping med and a calming one and I slept like a baby, rose. I knew you would have been proud of me, lol.
I'm glad you got good sleep after a stressful day. It's good to have a doctor who will give meds to help with pain and stress.
my former psychiatrist told them to. He wrote them explicit notes to tell them that I need them to break through a pain cycle and that I have never ever abused the privilege. As Rose knows, I undermedicate, never overmedicate.
good for you sprite.
ditto here. undermedicate i mean. but sometimes we have to be realistic and take what we have to.
I always use less that I'm given for stress, and have cut my pain meds almost in half over the past few years.
*giggles* I test the situation with the famous words: What would Rose say if she were here?
Exactly, Rose, if we need it, we need it. Otherwise let it wait until needed!
so you are another undermedicator, Kam
* giggle * take the blessed stuff for pete's sake.
yeah that is what you said yesterday evening :D
well we do tend to undermed because we know that there isn't much out there to help us, and we have to be careful not to overuse in case it becomes ineffective.
that is one of the puzzle parts indeed. Also, our bodies react in a non-standard way to medication. So it is wise to keep the number of chemicals to a minimum.
some people over use then wonder why they have to resort to heavier and stronger drugs. i try the natural things first. heat/cold, lie down, meditation.
No doctor these days is going to increase meds they don't like to prescribe in the first place. Therefore we need to be careful to only use what is absolutely necessary to stay comfortable. I have found that turmeric and boswellia are good pain relief for me.
also, understanding just how much you can tolerate before it is unmanageable. stopping before that. listening to your body signals.
yes, me too. If lying down and control my breathing will make things more bearable, that is enough. If time will help, I will wait it out. If a coolpad or a hot water bottle will give relief, I will take it. If all else fails, I will consider meds.
I think we have become very adept at listening to our bodies!
that, rose, is the hardest part for me. I still tend to go too far over that limit. It is too easy to think I can take it, just a little longer, just a little more.
i'll never forget the look on my old pain docs face when i told him my GP was concerned because i sometimes took ONE endone per day for a while. she was sure i was addicted. some pretty forceful words were said i can tell you.
Meditation is very hard for me. My mind is always all over the place. I'll count breaths, concentrate on breathing and relaxing and the next thing I know, my mind is off on a tangent.
lol, so that is why I knew you'd be proud of me for not waiting it out yesterday
for some people, meditation in an activity works better, Kam. Like Zentangle, or crafting.
sprite, think climbing a mountain. picture it in your mind. a third the way up your doing fine, going over that third is risky.
* ugh * you're
that is a good image, rose, thanks
and that is fireflies for me. *hugs* my dear friends. Thanks for being there. Take care of you.
i hear you Kam. do you have to some sort of music streaming? buds? or whatever they are? play meditation music, as loud as you can while you move. let the music carry you.
WTG SPRITE !!
Take care of you too! WTG, I still have 93 words left, but haven't listed yet.
* hugs * sweet friend. rest today. and know you are much loved.
Rose, I have music and good speakers hooked to my computer. I've been listening more lately. I used to have music on all day, but so much has changed in my life that I am working to get to know my new life. I've never lived alone before.
i hear you Kam. time for you to get back to your music sweetie. let it lift you like it used to do.
you might find your taste has changed too. try a new genre perhaps.
I've been putting it on a lot more lately. Actually, I need to get my viola back out and start playing it.
oh yes. Kam! lovely idea.
I want to try listening to some of the new music. I don't know any currently popular songs! I'm still listening to 1980s - 2000s. A lot of my favorite songs are on Sirius' Lithium, which I just switched back to a couple of weeks ago. I'm enjoying it.
I hear a lot on some TV shows I watch, but I've not heard of the artists before. I think my musical tastes are more from the best times in my life.
Well, g'nite, Rose. I'm saving the rest for tomorrow morning. Have a great day!
* hugs * sweet Kam.
anyone around now? if so, good morning!
hello
good morning hursh.. just arrived a bit a go
i've found all the E but one...
have tried to make something to do with agents like ipecac but it hasn't worked
I don't get it, there is no P
agents like ipecac are emetics
aHA i was right, it is to do with that! a latin plural
and change the first letter to T for that weird TM word
ty
and that leaves me with just one T, lower T
whereas now the C, i am having much less luck
oh there is that set that looks like it has to do with Julius and Augustus but doesn't actually - at least, not directly
well at least the Hs are easy
the I was easy too
yes :)
i have the c's if you need pointers
i'm missing 2. have one ch4, the rest ce
ch6 and 8
thanks!
weird ones
i've never seen them before
i feel like it's possible we've had them before but can't remember for sure
can you clue the ch6?
it sort of looks like it would sound like italian hellos
I have the ch4 does it build off that?
yes
end like santa
yes
does the 8 build off the 6?
got them both...ty
now just need 5 ce's
phantom: cement
*nods*
s
is for silly!
lol, every day norma posts one or two letters and then disappears
hope she isn't a kidnapping victim trying desperately to communicate
a slow play if so
someone go back every day and write down all the letters.
good morning to all! and thanks for the ch 6 and 8 clues
phantom: austere
hey saan
now we're accumulating a nice little crew of babblers
wouldn't a male seamstress be a seamster?
i suppose we would be more likely to use that word if he wasn't already called a tailor
having 2 words meaning the same thing is rampant in languages
yes, but sometimes one is far more popular than the other
Us Unravelled!
I'm just saying, enable loves having 30 spellings of one foreign currency but not seamster!
indeed
no, you are wrong
enable is willing to take it but you can't make it in this grid without re-using tiles
oh, I just saw that. Hahaha.
I am struggling with that left S
i haven't tackled S at all yet
I started going down today instead of across
but I need to do some things before I get too wrapped up here. TTFN.
glad you clarified that hokie
ok when i said H was easy i hadn't noticed there were two
but i've managed most of the lower H now too, just missing one
just finished the r's.. whew
i need 2 from the lower one
phantom: desert
ok, time to tackle these S words
those are next for me.. still have three d's
i need one D
you might need dr5/14 and pl
ok.. onto s's
aww, it's so nice when Ferrari wins at Monza
the s's are exhausting.. but done now.. have a good day all
well, i have all the 7s and 8s that have been mentioned, plus es7 which i didn't see mentioned but it's normal
one more 7 and 8 to get
got my last H - looks like a pl without a singular, rhymes with cu5 and whey (not in grid)
got my Gs too!
that last 7 was au7
and yikes @ ki6/42, another weirdo
and there's a third re8, compound, we have it sometimes, it's a bird
hi all. I only have one re8. past tense of an re6 .not seeing the bird one
does the bird one start with a color?
yes
ty but not seeing it
yes
found it ty
help with last re8 please
dusk
is it a compound?
i have no 8s and welcome all help. ty.
last re8 is examined again
How is that dusk?
Masted
both directions and their plurals are in here, unusual
wow - good morning. last week someone wished for a larger grid on weekeds - be careful what you wish for! Think I will leave this for later in the day!
methinks dusk was a mistype into the chat instead of the add word and not a re8 clue
She knew that.
She just always ahs to point out everyone's mistakes.
yeah, I was pretty sure she did
just read the chat before leaving - only one re colour that I can see and only one bird begining with an h -- the compound is not accepted, so don't know what the bird re 8 is! Was not going to get into this!!!!
last part is opp of end
ty - have never heard of it before
It is a thrush.
hmm, new to me, thanks
yw
thx for that, would have thought that was a compound
phantom cheek
that is a compound. r3 + s5. two words put together
i meant two words, not one
ohh
I have 2 re8. the bird and to examine again. help with last re8 please
I haven't actually made it to the R
put the re in front of owner
not getting the clue
ah, like redoing old music recordings
yep likr hokie said
still not getting it
dog owner
ma5
ty finally got it
ma6, sorry
like say you learned how to solve a rubik's cube. you m6'ed it. but then you forgot for years so you had to re8 it.
and already had base word "sigh"
all that about dusk and it was the 12th D I found
Dusk was a reply to a clue ask for re8. It didn't make sense
i think it was a mistype in the chog not a clue
it does make sense as a mistype in the chat since it's actually in the grid
well, finally finished first pass. 86 left and HOET
back to work
namaste
almost cemetery
rehi
where are 5 more c's??
did you get the ch 6/27 and plural?
no, are they real words?
Not ones we would ever use. Old roman ambassadors.
LOL, classic Enable. will try, thanks.
hi again - sounds like a few more foreign words no one could ever possibly know or have heard of
well, I looked on bestwordlist and found a ch6/27 but can't figure out how to make it plural.
Two letter plural
oh, so a ch8?
hi all, happy Sunday!
lol, was making that way harder than it should have been
hey nellie
rejoining after first pass and dog walk... 23 to go
Yep, hokie. Ni nrk
wow, nice first pass
5-8-9-2
19-19-25-6
Yeah, but I'm stubborn and I don't move on from a tile till I'm down to 1 or 2 left to get, unless (see today's C tile) I am truly forced to... so my first pass takes forever
bottom left S also foiled me... 4 missing there
I definitely was in a hurry this morning with mine
working 2nd pass now
also, tyvm origami for the ch nudge below.. those were my first words of round 2
YW
Greetings
hey christa
not able to monkey that ch 6/27
add you and me to the ch4 pet
must buy my monkeys snacks -- they just found sa5/16 and sa6 plural
oh, add you and me objective not subjective
still need 13 + 10 S's
just found sa5/20 and plural looking for your set
Down to 20 and starting to feel annoyed. List time.
there is a sa6/27 very similar to the sa5/20
starting to think I don't need to finish today
mad about the ce 6/24... i somehow knew it was there but could not find it
ty nrkii - thought I'd tried that along with everything else
those were my last 3 C's
if it's not cement I don't think I've thought another ce6 was there
It's a word I'm used to starting with cae
well now only need 5 + 6 on the S's, but that's still a buttload
anyone have the ki6?
must be my missing one
still have 119 to go and will list at 100
I have to get under 30 to list, so I might just be quitting
oh, there is a sa6/36 between the sa5/20 and sa 6/33
happy with 2/3 on the ones this size
41 left. 9-9-18-5 way too many 6's for me. it's just annoying to list because then I'll end up having to looking them up.
for me it's not a %, it's I don't want to deal with the bother of that many
damn, there's a tm6 that I missed
always miss that, thanks
me too - ty
thanks
I'm working on the R's which seem endless
I did get the ts4 today at least
I am down to 3 + 1 R
but they do seem endless
I still have 13 to go on them
down to that last ki word... am going to morewords
ki6 = like what an automobile snob might say about a Sorento or Optima
just looked it up - of course it's scottish!
there's a wa5 that is like what a travel snob might say about visiting seattle or tacoma
I have that one but still need one W
For R's 16 RA 33 RE 2 RH 9 RU
2 Wa, 7 WE
ok, was the other wa, thanks
anyone need a nudge?
about to take another break, but thanks
ah, just found bea's fish
Finished the R's ... time for a break
bye all!
bye nellie!
ki 6 please?
looks kinda like it is an alt sp of Elvis's actress granddaughter's last name. means trouble or worry in scots.
have no idea who elvis's grandaughter is
ki + most of a word that can mean zero. like a .30-06 where I'm from is a thirty - ** - six
yeah, I know you don't. and you don't know guns either, so I have no idea what to do. nellie gave a car related clue below that you probably don't get. so, you should just look it up like I did. LOL. going to play golf. good luck.
ki + l---- to tee hee or ha ha
ty carla
stay out of the sand and water :)
hello all
hello...help with the re8's
gain competence at a task again
colour + begin
ty nan
quizzed again
have that one :)
don't have the competence one
lord and ma.....
I guess my ki clue didn't work
maybe she didn't see it, great clue
sorry molly - already had it from carla's clue
it helped me...FW
thanks molly
done -- a lot of work for the monkeys!
first t36/18 please, last word
te6/18
nm
Hi all. I have no 8s. Please clue one for me. Ty.
re 6/8 to take an exam again and past tense
Ty will try to find it. Ty
GOT IT. Super great clue. Ty so much. Others welcome
running through (hi all)
re 8 color and to begin
newbie question: what does HOET mean?
half of every tile (you have at least half the words of each tile)
Aha! Thanks.
it's one of my personal goals for every grid
It's a good goal.
well, i don't have hoet or NBS but i have NBT (no blank tiles -- at least one word from every tile) and i'm far past halfway (120 to go) so goodnight y'all
