4:03 am

flosey

hello ruby - up far too early 5: am

4:03 am

rubyfoo

4:03 am

rubyfoo

when there's nobody here yet, at least I get some words in

4:04 am

rubyfoo

86 in 11 minutes!

4:04 am

flosey

yes, lol - am still in Toronto, but have come down with a nasty cold

4:04 am

rubyfoo

that is too bad; I hope it doesn't spoil your visit!

4:05 am

flosey

have missed seeing a few relatives, some cousins had planned a supper but had to miss it

4:06 am

flosey

so maddening, haven't had a cold in 2 years

4:10 am

flosey

how are you Ruby?

4:10 am

rubyfoo

I don't get colds, mainly because I don't see or touch very many people, mostly stay in the house except for lunches out....

4:10 am

rubyfoo

I don't know if that's good or bad!

4:10 am

flosey

good for you

4:11 am

rubyfoo

I think what you do is better! you are active and get out a lot and even travel

4:11 am

rubyfoo

I've stopped travelling, etc

4:12 am

flosey

I have 2 sons and a grandson in Toronto, have to come to see them

4:12 am

rubyfoo

my son comes here once or twice a year and Burt's daughter comes once, but aside from the occasional houseguests, that's it.

4:13 am

rubyfoo

of all places to visit, Toronto must be one of the best!

4:15 am

flosey

I love TO, we lived about 20 miles north for 30 years, kids grew up here

4:15 am

rubyfoo

it looks really beuatiful on television and the best series all seem to be made there

4:16 am

rubyfoo

I've only been there once, when I lived in NY state

4:16 am

rubyfoo

but that was a long time ago and, from what I see on TV, there are myriad new buildings

4:16 am

flosey

sons were both married by the time we went west but the daughters eventually came west and will settle there

4:17 am

rubyfoo

so you have 2 daughters and 2 sons?

4:17 am

flosey

yes, and one grandson here and one in Vancouvefr

4:17 am

rubyfoo

half! with no clues in the chog, hahah

4:18 am

rubyfoo

that is perfect! you are very fortunate!

4:18 am

flosey

ah, good for you, I'm only at 92

4:18 am

rubyfoo

and now thumper is calling me, time to fix his aperitif and lunch! see you later

4:19 am

rubyfoo

(but no big words, only 1 7. Will have to address that later)

4:19 am

flosey

nice chatting ruby, have a great day

4:19 am

rubyfoo

and that q is such a tease!

4:19 am

redturtlehead

9:28 am

redturtlehead

9:30 am

Riverdance

She is coming home the weekend of Nov 5 - thats not so far away...there is a craft fair at the high school she wants to go to and they are taking applications at the ski mountain she worked at last year. She wants to do that again

9:30 am

Anniebrook

redturtlehead

ahh icon image was a gif, not a jpeg, will find the new one now...

9:33 am

Anniebrook

red, how is your hip?

9:34 am

redturtlehead

Hip is doing pretty well, the New Physical Therapist has been invaluable, plus the massage person...together, I think I will be running again in a few weeks...we'll see what he says today. Pain is negligible now though which is great. Thanks!

9:34 am

Riverdance

that is great news

9:34 am

rubyfoo

yay, red!

9:35 am

rubyfoo

146 words and giving these blurry eyes another break

9:35 am

rubyfoo

9:35 am

Riverdance

bye ruby - nice to see you

9:36 am

Anniebrook

red, the friend who broke her hip last year had another hip replacement last week at The Hospital for Special Surgery. She is now in rehab...I pray for her. It must be very hard at your age.

9:36 am

rubyfoo

9:36 am

Anniebrook

bye ruby, rest those eyes

9:36 am

redturtlehead

* red, not at your age,,,at her age.

9:36 am

redturtlehead

I can not get my icon to change!

9:37 am

redturtlehead

I am lucky that my arms and such were very strong, but...

9:37 am

redturtlehead

It was not very fun. but the constant pain I used to have is gone. which is very welcome!

9:38 am

Anniebrook

red, that is why she had the second surgery..she was in a lot of pain

9:38 am

redturtlehead

I think if I had started with this Physical Therapist, i would have had better success. he is very very tough, but I am seeing lots of results.

9:39 am

Riverdance

uh oh red boxes of doom

9:39 am

Anniebrook

red, I will tell her what you said. It will encourage her.

9:39 am

Riverdance

My husband and I are flying into Tampa on Sunday for a necessary vaca. We were going to Boca Grande; but, the red tide came in and there are thousands of dead fish. Lovely beach front rental. Now you can't open windows or walk on the beach. Plus the awful symptoms from the bloom...scratchy throat, watery eyes and hard to breathe. Does anyone know of a great place accessable from the Tampa airport?

11:30 am

lbdawger

who did you book your flight with, gramma? maybe they can make some recommendations?

11:32 am

gramma

We booked it ourselves.

11:33 am

lbdawger

check out priceline.com or expedia or any of the other sites that help plan trips.

11:34 am

I've been looking on line; but, I was hoping for some advice from experienced Babble travellers

11:36 am

any clues for the first de6,33?

11:37 am

It's like the next de5/20. With a double vowel in the beginning

11:37 am

NANCY

gramma, my daughter lives near Tampa and I have been over there many times. Are you looking for a place to stay? Any place on the Tampa Bay coastline would be great. There are lovely beaches there.

11:38 am

pigeonman

ty.

11:39 am

gramma

Nancy, ty. We just don't know the area. We've been to Boca and Siesta Key. Any place that you'd reccomend?

11:39 am

gramma

We'd like to be on the gulf.

11:43 am

NANCY

I would check online for places in and around Tampa Bay. There is a Greek city called Tarpon Springs that is really a nice place to visit. This is where the sponge divers operate and you can go out with them on tours ( I think they still do this). Great shopping and lots of things to do. Does that help at all?

11:44 am

gramma

I'll check it out.Thanks again

11:44 am

PinnyPoppins

I went there about 25 years ago!

11:45 am

gramma

Did you like it, Pinny?

11:50 am

gramma

In googling it, it doesn't appear to be on the gulf. It does look cool tho.

11:51 am

PinnyPoppins

It was nice

11:52 am

WONDERFUL!!! Happy Day for you!!!! :-)

Yes, Nef. Then I put on my Darth Vader dust mask and sifted through the bag contents (what fun). Totally worth it.

ty diane, much better

2:11 pm

Nef

darn, "desat" isn't a word according to Enable.

2:12 pm

Judi

Jeweler says they don't appraise, but they gave me a name of a local guy who does. Discovered that diamond has a rather sizeable chip on one side. Not sure when or how that ever happened. Hubby only saw it after it was originally set. He didn't know if the chip existed before he gave it to me. So, I know that significantly reduces the value.

2:12 pm

Nef

thanks, diane. chog should be picking up soon as your old post has scrolled off

2:12 pm

i had faith that she would like i did my hubby's ring

2:14 pm

Judi

No, Nef. They showed it to me while it was under the microscope. Errrgh. It also has two fairly large inclusions. Overall, it's kind of a crummy diamond, but I certainly won't be telling hubby that.

2:14 pm

jmcnrick

i can wa**! no rush to be a grandma and pb for molls!

2:14 pm

MollyL

We must be a lucky bunch. I found a small diamond that fell out of a setting once too.

Sorry folks. These are some of the reasons I'm not a cat person. (Prepares to be evicted from Babble)

if the cat had brought in the rest of the squirrel you could have made brunswich stew

amelu has a small wild zoo at her place....if that hunter would have brought pieces of her other pets (racoons) she may not have been so understanding.

hi jm! long time no see!

2:45 pm

amelu0218

oh, yes I would have! I could have made Max a coonskin cap!

2:45 pm

Judi

No, jmc. Some of us were just instinctually born with the urge to primal scream. I consider myself fortunate.

2:46 pm

jmcnrick

i used to do it while driving to law school and on the freeway where no one could he** me--it was refreshing if hard on my throat

2:46 pm

some orange spray paint and we can make that squirrel tail into a coon tail for a cap!

Not sure. I wonder if certain "trends" in the chat are bothersome to some. I know when certain things here start bothering me, I tend to chat less.

4:43 pm

periwinkle

me too, I just block the chat. I have never been a big talker here but do pop in now and then

4:43 pm

Yes, sorry about that. Things have been very stressful lately so some days I avoid Babble because it can feel like another duty.

6:02 pm

Bugsaw

I like it better when it is a way to destress

6:02 pm

MPittore

yes I know what you mean

6:03 pm

Bugsaw

you have some good advice in your icon. Are things settling down for you now or are you just at the beginning

6:05 pm

MPittore

Well we have settled into our new normal...dh has two cycles of chemo left and appt with radiologist on 10/31 to plan full brain radiation...I hope this is the beginning...

Hi Bugs, Hi MPitt

6:06 pm

hi Molly. are you still running past your computer? I imagined you doing laps

6:06 pm

MPittore

well...not really any cure but we are hoping for some longevity with quality...50% of people make it 10-13 months....

6:07 pm

MollyL

The drive by posting thing was a comment on Gwen Bugs. : )

6:08 pm

MPittore

he went in hospital 5/20 received final diagnosis on 6/10

6:08 pm

Dorens

oh mpit, i'm sorry. hoping for the best for you

6:08 pm

MollyL

Here is to longevity with quality and even more than you are cautiously expecting.

6:09 pm

MPittore

ty dorens, molly and bugs...all kindness welcome...

6:09 pm

Dorens

and yes molly (having read back in chog) you are absolutely right about trends in the chog driving some oldtimers away. But change is inevitable, isn't it?

6:09 pm

Bugsaw

I worked with Hospice MPitt and I have lots of stories of people who had great times during the longevity. I wish all the best for both of you

6:10 pm

MPittore

I'll dring to that molly!

6:10 pm

i'm definitely chatting less (and i'll raise my glass to molly's toast as well)

how goes it ru?

6:11 pm

hey ruru. I wondered how many of us were afraid to pipe up in case we were the offenders. ;)

6:11 pm

rururocks

hi mp.. i'm sorry to read your news..

6:11 pm

MPittore

who will keep us laughing ru?????

6:12 pm

rururocks

I certainly blab too much around here

6:12 pm

Dorens

oh come on bug you know you've never been offensive in anyway

6:12 pm

MPittore

thanks ru....we are appreciating every day

6:12 pm

Bugsaw

I am very good at self-doubt Dorens but thanks for that.

6:12 pm

Dorens

nor you, ru (said with a certain irony???)

6:13 pm

rururocks

ouch

6:13 pm

Bugsaw

I like ruru's puns. Phooey to those who might not

6:13 pm

MollyL

Ru, on my honor as a tainted woman, you do NOT blab too much. Dorens, I guess you are right about change. It just bugs me when a friendly group gets "factioned" by well...certain things.

6:15 pm

Bugsaw

I need break. see you later

6:15 pm

rururocks

M9 and I were mercilously punning last night.. Dart chimed in..I'm certain we ran off a few people

6:16 pm

fuzzybunny

I have been playing babble and enjoying the chog as a lurker for a little over a year. When it is all long time players the chog is delightful and very friendly. Lately there has definitely been a different tenor at times.

6:16 pm

Dorens

ru has never offended me in any way shape or form. just going on record there.

6:16 pm

snags

I think the oldtimers would prefer having chat to themselves.........but times do change.

6:17 pm

snags

frankly, I like it all. I just hope no one asks me to stay away.

6:18 pm

MPittore

I will second the chat changing...it got a bit dicey...and I didn't like that...I like the friendly chat and some got too verbose recently and etc...

6:18 pm

Dorens

i disagree snags... think the oldtimers were very welcoming to all newbies (which I was myself 5 years ago or so). But I think fuzzy is right. THere are some who seem to monopolize the chat. I'm sure they don't do it on purpose. I'm sure I do it once in a while, ru once in a while, and others, but there is a different tone to some

6:19 pm

MPittore

Right on the money Dorens!!!!

6:19 pm

MollyL

Oh I don't think the old timers would prefer to have chat to themselves. I think, just a guess, that they would prefer certain elements of "chat etiquette" that are now ignored. Like don't just blurt out a clue when no one has asked.

6:19 pm

snags

you are correct Dorens, they were very welcoming to me.

6:19 pm

MPittore

Yeah Molly!

6:20 pm

fuzzybunny

When I first started playing everyone was so helpful in explaining all the ins and outs of things. I felt completely embraced by the entire community.

6:20 pm

Dorens

the chat used to be very funny too. crazy silly and light

6:20 pm

MPittore

Now that's the babbleland I know and love!

6:20 pm

MollyL

If someone asks for a clue, and I don't have that word, I have the option of turning chat off and finding the word myself. If people just blurt them out, it kind of ruins the fun for me.

6:20 pm

Dorens

so how do we get that back?

6:21 pm

MPittore

My dad used to tell us "ignore ignorance it will go away"...

6:21 pm

Dorens

hmmmmm

6:22 pm

MPittore

he was a very wise man!

6:22 pm

rururocks

how about everyone stops talking for several days until the old-timers come back and they think they have it for themselves again..we'll be lying in wait for them..lol

6:22 pm

Dorens

hahaha

6:22 pm

MPittore

ROFL

6:23 pm

snags

we could hide out and later jump out and yell BOO!!

6:23 pm

MPittore

ooooo good one snags!

6:23 pm

rururocks

exactly.. snags... and we have the perfect holiday for that

6:23 pm

MPittore

it would be boo-tiful!

6:24 pm

snags

6:24 pm

snags

well, I am in.

6:24 pm

6:24 pm

Dorens

the folks who can't keep quiet are probably the ones who need to the most

6:24 pm

snags

cute
P

6:25 pm

MollyL

How do we get that back? I don't know Dorens. I am noticing a trend though. People using the words "too verbose", "monopolizing chat", etc. It's nicer when chat is a friendly back and forth and not the "all about me" show.

6:25 pm

Dorens

it precisely the "all about me" shows that bother me the most

6:26 pm

dianedecoder

define "oldtimers"..... I assume you mean the long time and original players, not referring to age :-) I am "sorta old", have never been offended by ruru, EVER.... but I do agree with Dorens, re: monopolizing of chat and not always uplifting. I know there is a bond here, and everyone is very supportive of those who have problems

6:27 pm

rururocks

well said diane

6:27 pm

Dorens

oldtimers to me is anyone who's been on longer than me. and that is a bit over 5 years

6:28 pm

fuzzybunny

One of the things I love most about the chog is the support everyone gives each other.

6:29 pm

brid

hah. i never knew i was an oldtimer.

6:29 pm

rururocks

I think the best thing about the chog are peoples names like fuzzybunny, scrabs, etc..

6:29 pm

rururocks

wonders if that makes doren an old-timer?

6:30 pm

dianedecoder

I love to chat with the best of them, but I withdraw when things get "that" way. AND.... I have a long ay to go to be a chat oldtimer.... just one year on here for me ! I must love it.... I'm back here EVERY day !!

6:30 pm

fuzzybunny

let's not forget "ruru!"

6:30 pm

Dorens

you're not brid, I joined before you, so you're still a newbie to me. (my original name was fuzzybrain, but I forgot the password)

6:30 pm

MollyL

(((Diane))) I think of you as well seasoned, never "old".
: )

6:31 pm

dianedecoder

hence your nick, hey Dorens ? ;-)

6:31 pm

MPittore

yes fuzzy...that is what I like...everyone here has always been so nice to me and supportive of one another...

6:31 pm

fuzzybunny

I am always surprised when someone who I think is a long time babbler turns out to have only been playing for a year or so. It does not take long to fit in.

6:31 pm

dianedecoder

thanks Molly ! I can be a little "spicy" too ...lol. We learn many things along the way :-)

6:32 pm

Dorens

spice is nice

6:32 pm

fuzzybunny

How funny! Fuzzybrain and you forgot the password. Somehow there is a connection there!

6:32 pm

brid

i played for awhile before i went pro.

6:32 pm

brid

it probably rounds me out to 7 years.

6:33 pm

Dorens

oh a definite connection... i did choose the name for a reason. i'm not stupid, but there are a lot of cobwebs there

6:33 pm

Dorens

ahh! so brid IS an oldtimer (by my definition)

6:33 pm

snags

me too brid, I left for about 2 years then came back.

6:34 pm

MPittore

I've only been here since Nov 2009 so I guess I'm a mid-timer? LOL

6:34 pm

brid

i really liked the slower pace after the freneticness of other word games.

6:35 pm

Dorens

hey, my definition doesn't have to be THE definition. (and note that by my calculations, I am neither an old-timer nor a mid-timer, i am on the fence)

6:36 pm

dianedecoder

Only once have I been labelled a "prude" in my chat rooms. It was by the ones using the very foul language in a room where families played, including younger children. These players were regulars too, not just trouble makers .

6:36 pm

there have been a few expletives flying around here lately

6:37 pm

Dorens

oh really?

6:38 pm

MPittore

I haven't got much time to babble lately so I missed the flying......

6:39 pm

MPittore

6:39 pm

Dorens

i had a girl suspended yesterday for showing pictures of her ex-boyfriend's genitals to some other girls (in school) yesterday.

6:40 pm

I have 41 words left but time to make supper.... no baseball tonight but our hockey team is playing. ( we have our Star Choice satellite dish down here in Arizona, so are able to watch all our local channels etc.. from home.

While "I'm Not Lisa" is not a memorable song, many women embraced it who have been called "the wrong name at the wrong time"

7:48 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Well, actually, it depended on the boss's wife...she tried to poison me.

7:48 pm

jmcnrick

goodness! its peyton place

7:48 pm

MollyL

Good Lord Peach. That is the stuff soaps are made of.

7:49 pm

3-8 inches of snow about to hit us! Merry Christmas lol

Hi Cos.

7:50 pm

cosdem

hi molly

7:51 pm

cosdem

70 degrees all day and now we'r egonna get hit with a massive snow storm.. then back to 70 for the weekend ... gotta love colorado

7:51 pm

MollyL

Cos, how did you like "Once Upon A Time"? I thought it was pretty cool.

7:51 pm

wht

That is just wrong, cos.

7:51 pm

Shirlockc

i really like Once

7:51 pm

cosdem

oh molly i have been waiting to find u onhere to ask u the same thing! i absolutely loved it!

7:51 pm

jmcnrick

hi cosd and wow

7:51 pm

Shirlockc

i really like Once

7:52 pm

cosdem

hi everyone :)

7:52 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

I don't drink at all any more.....only because it makes my heart beat really fast. I am really pitiful about it....my daughter kept scotch at the house and I would sneak around any open the bottle and just sit there and smell it. Poor Me

7:52 pm

jmcnrick

is that the tv show?

7:52 pm

Shirlockc

it's like the graphic novel series i read Fables

7:52 pm

cosdem

theres nothing like once on tv.. its great.. excited for friday's premiere of Grimm as well

7:52 pm

MollyL

Very creative writing. I like that in a show.l

7:52 pm

cosdem

yes jmc the new snow white tv show

7:53 pm

jmcnrick

i want to see that but i miss so much tv with the school stuff i will have to watch it on hulu

7:53 pm

Shirlockc

having fun guessing which characters are which on the show

7:53 pm

cosdem

next sunday's episode will have a newspaper reporter who writes for the town paper "The Mirror" but the reporter is actually the magic mirror lol...

7:53 pm

cosdem

i saw it on a commercial so i didnt read a spoiler

7:54 pm

cosdem

soem characters are obvious i think.. like granny and the inn keeper's granddaughter

7:54 pm

MollyL

I love Hulu. I never catch anything live.

7:54 pm

jmcnrick

i have watched a few movies on it too

7:54 pm

cosdem

i just signed up for hulu plus

7:55 pm

MollyL

I have Hulu Plus, there are a few better movies with that, but not many.

7:55 pm

jmcnrick

but the show i really want probably wasn't made--the third episode of the new version of sherlock

7:55 pm

cosdem

a lot more shows are captioned so its beneficial and cheaper than netflix

7:55 pm

jmcnrick

i like captioning

7:56 pm

MollyL

Cos, I meant to mention the caption thing to you when we talked about Hulu Plus before. Amazon Unbox needs to join us in our century. None of their stuff is captioned.

7:56 pm

cosdem

without captioning id never be able to watch tv lol

7:56 pm

jmcnrick

i know cosd

7:56 pm

jmcnrick

but i still watch it even though hubby no longer around to ne** it

7:57 pm

cosdem

in 2012 a new law takes effect.. all web videos/shwos must have captioning

7:57 pm

wht

well, it is time for me to be off. Happy Babbling Babblers.

7:57 pm

cosdem

so CNN.com videos, etc will have to provide that. it passed Congress with like 10 nays so pretty cool.

7:57 pm

jmcnrick

it

7:58 pm

cosdem

jmc -- ryan cannot watch tv without captioning anymore.. eh doesnt need it but he says it isnt the same without it

7:58 pm

jmcnrick

it's ridiculous since under ADA they should be already

7:58 pm

jmcnrick

tell ryan i understand completely

7:58 pm

jmcnrick

you miss things without it sometimes

7:58 pm

MollyL

'Night Wht

7:58 pm

cosdem

right... its a pain.. netflix originally had said it was IMPOSSIBLE for them to caption streaming movies...

7:58 pm

jmcnrick

and other times is is just funny

7:58 pm

jmcnrick

bye wht

7:59 pm

cosdem

then hulu did it.. and the national ass. of the deaf sued netflix and netflix backed down and is now in the process of captioning it all..

7:59 pm

jmcnrick

there was an episode of golden girls where they forgot to clean up blanche's script for the captions

7:59 pm

cosdem

i think i remember that one...

8:00 pm

MollyL

My youngest used to watch kids shows with captioning on. It helped him learn how to read.

8:00 pm

cosdem

another beneficial use for it

8:00 pm

jmcnrick

oh i know we wrote jack kent cooke of the redskins and pointed out that he should provide captioning for the games considering how many deafies were in dc and he said it was impossible which was a lie

8:01 pm

jmcnrick

i agree moll it has help some of the prelingual deaf students with their reading too

8:01 pm

MollyL

Jack Kent Cooke was a miserable curmudgeon, God rest his soul.

8:01 pm

cosdem

i just loved during the ada hearings the TV makers said it would be so expensive to install CC in the TVs.... then tom harkin shot back that it would only cost them 1 penny each tv

8:01 pm

jmcnrick

that is the nicest thing i have heard about him except that he was much nicer than snyder

8:02 pm

cosdem

*googles jack kent cooke*

8:02 pm

jmcnrick

yeah movie theaters said their customers would be bothered by the captioning and so handed out ear peices that never worked instead

8:02 pm

cosdem

ahh ok now i know who he is

8:03 pm

jmcnrick

:-)

8:03 pm

cosdem

CC in movie theaters to the deaf is like marriage equality to the gay communitiy

8:03 pm

cosdem

the ultimate goal.

8:03 pm

MollyL

Snyder = The Little Tyrant. A spoiled brat in grown up skin.

8:03 pm

cosdem

but in des moines, iowa a movie theater there (the carmike).. installed CCs.

8:04 pm

cosdem

but deaf attendance is so low

8:04 pm

jmcnrick

i am with you on that--i can never watch beauty and the beast again because that was the last movie we went to as a family and of course you cannot lip read cartoons

8:04 pm

cosdem

its b/c they do it on only one screen and its usually a horrible movie

8:04 pm

jmcnrick

it wouldn't be in dc and austin and frederick md and other such towns

8:04 pm

cosdem

i only go to the movies if its something big to me.. like harry potter...

8:05 pm

cosdem

i think frederick has one.. weekly and it's pretty well attended..

8:05 pm

jmcnrick

well i just watch most movies online and then i can usually caption them

8:05 pm

cosdem

chicago has one thats monthly and its well attended.. but they do major releases. not flops like iowa does

8:06 pm

cosdem

i asked the theater owner if he would do a harry potter movie.. he said no because customers would complain about the words on screen.. ugh

8:07 pm

jmcnrick

see at this point i would probably threaten to take them to court

8:07 pm

cosdem

so they just played bond movie instead

8:07 pm

jmcnrick

it is a public accommodation and therefore under the ADA

8:07 pm

cosdem

i should have done that

8:07 pm

cosdem

considering i was the vice president of the iowa assn. of the deaf then

8:07 pm

jmcnrick

that is like saying that only providing interpreters for english and not math is the same

8:08 pm

jmcnrick

no guts no glory cosd! haha

8:08 pm

cosdem

lol i know..

8:08 pm

cosdem

good comparision

8:09 pm

jmcnrick

when the earbuds didn't work for my mother at the march of the penguins i threatened the movie theater and they gave me a free ticket

8:09 pm

jmcnrick

fortunately you didn't really need to listen to that movie

8:10 pm

cosdem

right but it was good they gave u a "refund of sorts

8:11 pm

jmcnrick

since mother never made it to another movie i was less than impressed but yes it shows sort of minimal good faith

8:11 pm

cosdem

a cash refund would be better

8:12 pm

jmcnrick

yes

8:12 pm

cosdem

blah dog needs out. bbl in a few

8:13 pm

rururocks

I can't go to theaters any more..they are way too loud.. I get a headache from going

8:13 pm

rururocks

what's the point.. ?

8:14 pm

jmcnrick

it would block enough so you wouldn't get the headache but you could still be able to he**

8:14 pm

rururocks

I'd rather watch it in the comfort of my own home and control the volume.. they BLAST sound in our local theater..it's unbearable

8:15 pm

jmcnrick

well i admit i see about one movie in the theater every other year these days

8:15 pm

rururocks

I can't even hear the couple behind me having sex..lol

8:15 pm

jmcnrick

8:16 pm

rururocks

8:16 pm

8:17 pm

Minveryork

Started the grid an 4/8 when I got home. Gave up at 159 words (no way ne 4/4 fireworks). Here is a story of clues for my de 4/5 Babble friends who may ne 4/5 it.My cousin De4/5 introduced me to Babble and I am glad he did. I think this game is so ne4/4! I am aw4/9 by the babblers in here. It ce5/12s to amaze me how some babble sa4/4 list&can finish the grid in no time. There are several babblers here who are nice enough to do 4/5 on others with their clues. There are some grids that drive me absolutely insa4/4, but If it were not for clues, I wouldn't ea 4/4 as many points. Clues and the list enables me to babble with ea4/4. I ha4/5 the occasional troll that crawls out of a se5/18.Some he4/6 our warnings and some don't. I wish I could sw 4/8 them to pieces.However,the trolls won't stop me from babbling. Sh4/5!My husband is wa4/8ing for the laptop. He has wa 6/33 for awhile now. I sw 5/18 one day I'm going to tell hubby to do Farmville somewhere where the sun don't shine! My Babble sh5/18 is over. I hope you have se 4/4 more words with this story. I am going to go watch the ne 4/8. Then I am going to go re 5/10 my alarm & go to bed. Goodnight babblers!

welki

yes! i saw it, but didn't want to ask. things have been sort of up and down with your renos and i didn't want to touch a nerve

10:19 pm

uusue2

hi, all -

10:48 pm

uusue2

any medical types around?

10:48 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, sue :-)

10:48 pm

uusue2

hi, une!

10:48 pm

Pint1

Hello

10:49 pm

uusue2

hi, pint!

10:49 pm

dcseain

hi, une, sue, and pint

10:49 pm

uusue2

hi, dc!

10:49 pm

jesdraggon

nbt at 134 left

10:49 pm

uusue2

so I have some potentially disquieting news...

10:50 pm

dcseain

oh?

10:50 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, seain :-)

10:50 pm

dcseain

cute icon, une :)

10:50 pm

uusue2

I had radiation to my neck when I was a tiny infant (before they knew the stuff was dangerous)

10:50 pm

Uneaixoise

:-D

10:50 pm

uusue2

had a lump on my neck burned off with X-rays

10:51 pm

Uneaixoise

eek

10:51 pm

uusue2

so I have been having regular ultrasounds of my thyroid, which has had nodules for a while

10:51 pm

uusue2

the latest one apparently looks, well, like my doctor wants me to see the ENT guy

10:51 pm

Uneaixoise

oh . . .

10:52 pm

uusue2

anybody have a clue as to what this means: Interval enlargement of the complex cystic and solid lesion within the right lobe of thyroid gland is noted.

10:52 pm

Uneaixoise

jeez, not a clue, sue . . .

10:53 pm

uusue2

doesn't sound great but I don't know exactly how much to worry. Sigh.

10:53 pm

jesdraggon

It means you have an abnormal area of tissue (lesion) composed of mixed solid and fluid-filled pockets (cysts), which is larger now than it was at your last ultrasound

10:53 pm

uusue2

ah, thx, jes. So how much should I worry?

10:53 pm

jesdraggon

it doesn't necessarily mean malignant, but an enlarging lesion is always something to be aware of and follow up on.

10:53 pm

jesdraggon

it doesn't necessarily mean malignant, but an enlarging lesion is always something to be aware of and follow up on.

10:54 pm

jesdraggon

sorry for double post

10:54 pm

uusue2

no problem, I need help getting it through my head anyway

10:54 pm

dcseain

ty, jes for the explanation

10:54 pm

uusue2

so I should be concerned but not panic :-)

10:55 pm

jesdraggon

i don't know enough about humans to know; i do know that thyroid cancer is probably the way to go if you can pick one, since you can pretty easily and specifically do in thyroid cells thanks to their selective iodine uptake

10:55 pm

uusue2

yes, I've read up on it before. Costs you your thyroid but that can be dealt with.

10:56 pm

jesdraggon

ironically, the easiest way to knock out a thyroid tumor is radiation, using radioactive iodine

10:56 pm

jesdraggon

and thyroid supplements are cheap, as far as medications go.

10:57 pm

uusue2

Yes, I know that too - I-131, I presume, has a half-life of 8 days if I recall properly

10:57 pm

jesdraggon

yup

10:57 pm

uusue2

*sigh*

10:59 pm

uusue2

ah well. Sounds like the worst possible news isn't necessarily all that bad, and maybe it won't be malignant at all.

11:00 pm

uusue2

anyway, thanks, jes! I am glad you are here!

11:00 pm

jesdraggon

could definitely be worse, though i'm sure it's not terribly fun

11:01 pm

uusue2

probably the worrying is the worst part.

11:01 pm

jesdraggon

sure, any time. really, there should have been an explanation along with the results! drives me crazy when doctors just hand out lab results and a prescription and send people off with no idea what just happened or what it means.

11:02 pm

jesdraggon

on the other hand, i have several steady clients now, because some other doctor did that to them, and i bothered to explain the other doctor's results to them :D

11:03 pm

dcseain

it may not be indeed, sue. Chin up, regardless, best you can.

11:03 pm

uusue2

well, it was a late-night email from my regular doc saying I should make an appointment with the ENT guy. I'm just happy I didn't have to wait two days to get the results - the ultrasound was this afternoon!

11:04 pm

uusue2

and if I ever move to the Back of Beyond you can definitely take care of my cats and dog, jes!

11:05 pm

jesdraggon

heh :) well, be forewarned that if you move here, i'll be periodically trying to pawn new cats and dogs off on you! i have a kitten and a jack russell terrier today...

11:07 pm

uusue2

awww - unfortunately one of my cats is psychotic and hates everybody and everything; the other one is pretty laid back. The dog is cool with everybody except other dogs. We have a complicated household :-)

11:07 pm

jesdraggon

sounds like a balancing act

11:08 pm

rururocks

cat - juggling. .I wouldn't recommend it

11:08 pm

uusue2

fortunately the psychotic cat is tiny, both cats are declawed (not by me, we rescued them that way) and the dog is large (70 pounds). So it works but is often amusing.

11:08 pm

m9f9l

hey all. just need to find my last word.

11:08 pm

uusue2

hi, m9!

11:09 pm

jesdraggon

depends on the cat, ruru... i've got one that seems to think it's amusing to be twirled and tossed around. she keeps coming back, anyway.

11:09 pm

rururocks

I have friends with all kinds of thyroid issues..uu.. they have lots of options to fix you.. it can be a lot of benign things as well

11:09 pm

m9f9l

fw

11:10 pm

rururocks

yeah mmmers

11:10 pm

m9f9l

we have a cat that likes very rough handling. And another that just kind of goes limp when you pick her up.

11:10 pm

uusue2

true, ruru, and I am trying not to worry about it too much until I know more. Thanks.

11:11 pm

rururocks

absolutely.. it can be a lot of bothersome things but nothing dangerous

11:11 pm

rururocks

I hate waiting for results

11:11 pm

uusue2

me too.

11:11 pm

rururocks

mrs ru does too

11:11 pm

rururocks

she had her mammogram recently and they took forever to get her the results

11:12 pm

uusue2

usually when it takes forever it's good news. When I saw that I had an email from my doctor this evening, when the ultrasound was this afternoon, I figured something was up.

11:13 pm

uusue2

but even so, waiting is a bi***.

11:13 pm

rururocks

oh.. hang in there sue.. it will be okay

11:13 pm

uusue2

thx, ruru, I do appreciate you all!!!

11:13 pm

jesdraggon

yay m9!

11:14 pm

11:59 pm

negativeneil

Yes, looks good... except when you post, can you post only to your circles and extended circles in future... not 'public'? It's just that if your posts are public, some of us can never comment on them.

11:59 pm

Alohablue

snow? is that the white stuff that's cold?

11:59 pm

negativeneil

Just to circles is best, unless it's an important link/article to share... those I post to 'extended circles'.

11:59 pm

cosdem
