Never bodes well when you can't get the first letter.

10:43 am

BzznBea

10:58 am

ch1212

Good morning! It's another day of paradise in Babbleland.

11:25 am

MollyL

😳

11:27 am

BzznBea

ch, is that the cover of one of your books?

11:29 am

ch1212

Yes. Info in my profile. Reviews have been really good, and I'm starting to hear from readers (the book was released in August.) It's both memoir and exploration of trauma treatments, the history of child abuse, depression, etc.

11:30 am

ch1212

I've decided to get as far as I can before I tackle the Cs.

11:31 am

BzznBea

I went to the website to look at it. The reviews look great.

11:32 am

ch1212

I am humbled by them, particularly the ones from professionals and doctors in the field. I had a mental health pro review the book for clinical content accuracy before it was published, but of course I worry about misinformation.

11:34 am

ch1212

If anyone has the ac5, could you tell me if it starts from the top A or the one in the third row please?

11:34 am

hokie carla

11:40 am

hokie carla

well, I didn't get to make it up there due to being cut off, but my brother and niece visited her and I got to talk to her on the phone, but my niece said the shingles looked pretty bad.

11:42 am

BzznBea

Bless her heart. I'm sure she is miserable with them. We they effected by the hurricane?

11:44 am

hokie carla

not where she & my oldest brother are, but my brother that's near our hometown less than 15 min away was without power for 6 days.

11:45 am

BzznBea

Are you cut off because of the highways between your and her?

11:46 am

BzznBea

I can't type today.

11:47 am

hokie carla

yep

11:47 am

BzznBea

I'm so sorry.

11:48 am

BzznBea

The stories out of the mountains are heartbreaking.

11:51 am

BzznBea

Need to run errands. bbl

11:51 am

hokie carla

sorry, would chat more but talking on the phone

11:58 am

Kaplan the Magne

4:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

whoops hi

4:27 pm

MollyL

See, I was right. We must look at the screen when we type.

4:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yes maam

4:30 pm

Kaplan the Magne

So there are 5 8 letter words in this thing? Happy and Sweet new year to those who celebrate, and especially celebrate by opening the grid, which is not kosher

4:32 pm

hurshy

hello againi

4:33 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, Happy New Year!. The birds responded to the blasts of the shofar, literally. It was amazing.

4:33 pm

hurshy

nice :D

4:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

For those who don't know, a rams horn is sounded in particular patterns, and as the service was outside in a tent, the birds were interactive and there was a true call and response

4:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

For The New Year. For which I should not be on any media, but I'm not as diligent as I once was.

4:36 pm

hurshy

but we almost have latke in the grid

4:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

wrong holiday.

4:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am the only Ashkenazi Jew I know who hates latkes.

4:37 pm

Soodle

Gosh Kap. I never knew. A very happy New Year to all who celebrate.

4:38 pm

hurshy

you don't eat latkes for new year? what a shame

4:38 pm

hurshy

Brent Spiner is an Ashkenazi Jew

4:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I can't abide the smell

4:38 pm

hurshy

but i don't know how he feels about latkes

4:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Everyone loves them but me

4:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

oily greasy things

4:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

In Israel they eat doughnuts for Chanukah

4:40 pm

Kaplan the Magne

because they're greasy and oily.

4:41 pm

Kaplan the Magne

My body doesn't know it's a holiday and I'm supposed to eat bad food. There was good food for Rosh Hashanah but I don't enjoy eating large meals in the daytime so me and one goes ate cheerios.

4:41 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Cheerios are holy.

4:42 pm

hurshy

awww MAN

4:42 pm

Kaplan the Magne

one guest. we ate cheerios

4:42 pm

hurshy

now i wish i had picked up cheerios when i stopped at the store on the way home

4:44 pm

hurshy

the trouble is i can't stop eating them

4:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The other guests ate savory green tomato pie, carrot trimmed, bean salad, a kind of nut loaf. I tried eating those things last night and they really did a number on me. I can't even tolerate raw vegetables. But Cheerios and Kellogs corn flakes are the best

4:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

tsimmes

4:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Halvah.

4:46 pm

hurshy

why can't you tolerate raw veggies?

4:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Fibers and foods that I always thought were good for me are actually harder to digest now that I have all these GI issues that you don't need details about. No salad. I'm a vegetarian and I can't eat salad. It is ridiculous. But I actually think nutritionists and dietitians are all promoting major conspiracies and make up impossible diets that no one can follow. Did you ever hear of FODMAP?

4:49 pm

hurshy

yes i have heard of FODMAP

4:51 pm

hurshy

MAN this is a lot of C words

4:52 pm

phaeton

I need one more C word

4:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think there is something weird about Jews and digestion and food. Other people drink.

4:52 pm

hurshy

wow good for you phaeton

hurshy
