Fran-- my icon is a picture of the Bahai gardens in Haifa, Israel.

12:44 am

FranMag

i thought they looked familiar kkiln. my former brother-in-law lived there and worked on the gardens for a little while.

12:44 am

helenkeller

the inside of flosey's is just the opposite of mine - st. basil's is very cramped, with lots of passages & nooks & the baha'i temple is completely open inside

12:45 am

flosey

interesting hk

12:45 am

The gardens are magnificent...they have about 200 people volunteering and working on those gardens.

Hi jilli - was commenting on your pretty little church

12:49 am

jillibus

Thanks flosey, for the comment about my dear little church

12:49 am

helenkeller

ty fran - i was inspired - when i was younger we would ride our bikes there, it's too far away for that now

12:49 am

flosey

how nice to have such a personal attachment

12:50 am

helenkeller

jili - you sure have had a busy & full life!

indeed, hasn't she hk, very interesting life

12:51 am

jillibus

As far as I know, that hamlet of Twineham is still exactly the same

12:51 am

FranMag

i think jilli should either write a book or blog her stories.

12:51 am

helenkeller

i agree with fran

12:51 am

mymuseisme

I agree

12:51 am

Ankhorite

Darn, ladies, it's time to sing...
"Good night, ladies...
"Good night, ladies...
"Good night, ladies...
"I'm bound to leave you now"
but the icons and the chats have been great, thanks so much! Time for me to drug up and lie down. YES, JILLI SHOULD WRITE AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY! I know I'm shouting, but that's how I feel.

12:51 am

flosey

indeed jilli - would be well worth reading

12:51 am

jillibus

oh thanks, muse -- I've thought about blogging but don't know how and have so little time to spare!

Glad you don't mind it with my sore throat, Fran!

12:52 am

12:52 am

helenkeller

good nite ankh

12:52 am

mymuseisme

Would love to learn how to do that myself

12:53 am

Ankhorite

But I think maybe you should compile them and sell them... I'd buy! And I know a publisher.

12:53 am

mymuseisme

night Ank, pleasant dreams

12:53 am

Ankhorite

Heck, ladies, anyone who wants a blog, drop me a note at (this name)@verizon.net and I'll give email lessons. Thank you, Muse. Good night, all.

1:08 am

cybernan

thanks fran -- have you found the 7 yet?

1:08 am

FranMag

not yet nan

1:14 am

jillibus

dog is chien -- puppy is chiot, pronounced "shee-oh" and thereby hangs a tale. Lawyers in Quebec have to be bilingual and a Scottish friend of ours was a lawyer who did very well in French. We had a meeting of our bilingual Great Dane club of which he was a member, and he was speaking in French about breeding. He mispronounced the word for "puppy" as "chiotte" (she- ot) whereupon all the francophones got the giggles. It seems that's the word for sh**-house.

1:14 am

jillibus

Got the zo7

1:15 am

FranMag

clue please jilli?

1:15 am

FranMag

funny story by the way. :-)

1:23 am

flosey

1:23 am

jillibus

yes helen -- and some are pretty hard to understand even for a brit!

1:23 am

flosey

1:24 am

Angb

Over half way - well done fran

1:59 am

joey

1:59 am

Angb

Hi kier.

1:59 am

kierlex

tho i did have 2 vodka collins earlier. maybe that is the problem

2:00 am

flosey

back again - lost connection for some strange reason

2:00 am

FranMag

lol kier! i would think that would help.

2:01 am

sprite

lots of us did, flosey. Hi kier!

2:01 am

FranMag

update on the tsunami watch, there was a tsunami generated, but it's only a 4 inch change in sea level.

2:01 am

Angb

I have made a carrot and walnut loaf, cooked dinner, drunk a couple of glasses of wine - and hey, the words aren't there!

2:01 am

sprite

lots of us did, flosey. Hi kier!
yeah, I think this grid takes at least 3 of them, kier.

2:01 am

Angb

I have made a carrot and walnut loaf, cooked dinner, drunk a couple of glasses of wine - and hey, the words aren't there!

2:01 am

jillibus

2:01 am

2:01 am

kierlex

well, they've worn off. now i just have a bit of a headache =)

2:02 am

flosey

and again - let's hope it stays this time

2:02 am

Angb

Suggest you have another one Kier

2:02 am

sprite

bad server behaviour today

2:03 am

FranMag

the hiccup that just happened is normal at 2:00 am grid time, the earlier one was unusual.

2:03 am

jillibus

it often hiccups at this time of day/night

2:03 am

sprite

isn't that a bit strange?

2:04 am

jillibus

missed saying hi to sprite, kier, babrab -- who else?

2:04 am

FranMag

i'm thinking it's some kind of scheduled maintenance or something.

2:05 am

sprite

hi jilli *hug*

2:11 am

sprite

wow, found Un8/45

2:11 am

sprite

not getting anywhere at all with the Zo7 though.

2:12 am

jillibus

want a hint, sprite? I have it

2:12 am

sprite

Please, jilli. It is really stumping me.

2:12 am

flosey

oh sprite, have been struggling with that, any clues?

2:13 am

FranMag

i was going to give you the def sprite, but it's some scientific thing.

2:13 am

flosey

please?

2:13 am

jillibus

zo7 -- animal house + Ode to a Gr****n Urn

2:13 am

sprite

For the un: it is un + what I never want to listen to.
un + R6/18.

2:14 am

FranMag

thanks sprite!

2:14 am

jillibus

um, thanks sprite -- now I have to find r6/18 ;)

2:14 am

sprite

lol

2:14 am

flosey

thanks sprite great clue thought the word and it was there!

2:14 am

MVA

thanks sprite!

2:14 am

FranMag

well, now you have a r6 to look for it jilli

2:15 am

flosey

sprite's clue given for the un word works for re

2:15 am

jillibus

Oh! I had that r6 -- so thanks for the u8! Did you get the zo7?

2:16 am

sprite

not yet, jilli. Found the reference to that urn, but cannot yet connect it.

2:16 am

flosey

and I'm too tired to go on, must get to bed - what a huge job left for tomorrow

2:16 am

Iain

must go. the central heating is broke so must fix it

2:16 am

FranMag

night flosey! sweet dreams (hopefully not grid words)

2:17 am

sprite

bye flosey and lain

2:17 am

FranMag

bye lain!

2:17 am

MVA

2:17 am

jillibus

Bye Iain! Warm wishes!

2:17 am

flosey

ah well, may look easier tomorrow

2:17 am

sprite

thanks for the clue :)

2:18 am

FranMag

you'll know why when you see the definition sprite!

2:18 am

kierlex

are the words from the center 'o' normal words or???

2:18 am

flosey

oh lain - good luck with your heating

2:18 am

flosey

bye all now

2:18 am

FranMag

kier, i only have 2

2:18 am

sprite

1 at least is, kier.

2:19 am

jillibus

night flosey!

2:19 am

sprite

Fran, I need to read up on my sea moss, I see!

2:19 am

FranMag

the other i have is a drying oven

2:20 am

FranMag

we all do i think sprite! i bet ata knows that one right off the bat.

2:20 am

FranMag

but she's gone on vacation already, right?

2:20 am

sprite

oh yes, probably! Too bad she misses this grid.

2:20 am

jillibus

glad you got that zo, sprite, and I'm sure you'll be using it in everyday conversation

2:21 am

FranMag

i knew some marine biologists back in Guam, not here though.

2:22 am

sprite

well.... I would have to think about that one, jilli! Ywis, it is a tough one to fit into casual conversation. So... did you notice the Zo7 on the sea moss I feed my inia?

2:22 am

jillibus

lol sprite

2:23 am

FranMag

now you just need to get an inia and you're all set sprite.

2:23 am

jillibus

btw, my only O word is the drying oven and my middle O tile still reads 0/5

2:24 am

sprite

I have the Z4, but it lacks both my inia and my anoa. It is a sad, empty Z**.

2:24 am

sprite

jilli: 1s

2:24 am

FranMag

sorry jilli, the drying oven comes from the upper O

2:25 am

FranMag

the other O word i have is the plural anatomical opening.

2:25 am

jillibus

I realise, sprite, but someone asked for a word from the middle O and I've been looking for one ;)

2:26 am

sprite

I just clued one, jilli :)

2:27 am

jillibus

oh -- just saw the clue, sprite (eyes getting weary!) Thanks

2:27 am

FranMag

jilli is going to kick herself when she gets that 1 sprite! :-)

2:27 am

sprite

lol, I think so too.

2:27 am

jillibus

ouch!

2:28 am

sprite

:D
I have to be off for a bit, shopping to do while my kids learn how to skate. Who said life was fair.

2:28 am

FranMag

later sprite!

2:28 am

jillibus

a demain sprite!

2:31 am

jillibus

well, I have all of 60 words and the rest are hiding so I'll be off. Probably won't finish -- too much to do tomorrow for a biggie like this

2:31 am

FranMag

105 left, going to take a break, maybe come back later.

2:31 am

FranMag

night then jilli!

2:32 am

jillibus

nighty night *poof*

2:34 am

Merk

Clue for the an 8,40 please

2:35 am

jillibus

merk -- you didn't answer my question before -- where in China are you?

2:36 am

jillibus

(sorry, I don't have an8)

2:36 am

Merk

thanks anyway. I'll keep looking.

2:36 am

Merk

thanks anyway. I'll keep looking.

2:37 am

Merk

My internet goes off and on ... a truly rotten connection. I am in Harbin.

2:38 am

jillibus

Oh yes -- you had said so before. Sorry! Must be cold there.

2:38 am

Merk

Also, we have censors so I can't get Lickety's List. I'm thinking that her word lists trigger censors as key words to be avoided. But it affects the list then, too.

2:38 am

Merk

Cold does not begin to describe it ... surrounded by Siberia.

2:39 am

jillibus

Lickety is a he, and a very handsome one too! He is the hubby of MrPresident, who is a she. Go figure!

2:39 am

Merk

That's for the clarification. They must have two computers for all that they do for babble.

2:40 am

Merk

Anyway, I do not have any of the 8s yet and I thought the an, re, and un looked the most difficult to find so I'm looking for clues. I dare not go to the entire chat log for fear it won't let me back on to here.

2:40 am

jillibus

Lickety's list doesn't contain any words -- just the first 2 letters and the numbers. Maybe this "code" is being censored -- ???

2:42 am

joey

re 8 is the plural of the 7 which is to change color of something with a brush and something liquid

2:42 am

jillibus

Such censorship is most un******able (un8/45)

2:43 am

Merk

I think I may have lost the connection again. This isn't showing up in the chatbox.

2:44 am

mkl

Does anyone have the ci8 and 9?

2:45 am

joey

mkl, if you have the ci 6/24 add a number to it and then plural

2:45 am

jillibus

merk, it's showing up here

2:45 am

mkl

How about a clue for the ci6,24?

2:47 am

Merk

ty for the re ... built on an earlier word.

2:47 am

joey

d.... ci 6/24 Roman statesman, orator, and writer.

2:48 am

Merk

I think that because lickety also has links to the various 4, 5, 6, etc. letter word lists, it triggers the censor. Brandy Jack gets thru so I'm using that list.

2:48 am

mkl

Can't find him joey

2:49 am

jillibus

merk, did you get the in8 clue at 2:42?

2:49 am

Merk

cool clues for the ci, ty

2:50 am

joey

the number that indicates nothing. change the first letter to a c and add the two letters you are looking for at the beginning.

2:50 am

Merk

Sorry, Jilli, I didn't 'catch' your un clue. I must be dense today ... and other days

2:52 am

Merk

The one about censorship. That's the one I did not understand.

2:52 am

mkl

Thanks so much. That got all three of them.

2:52 am

o-o

Thanks for the excellent clues, joey

2:52 am

jillibus

there's no re6/18 to be sorry, merk. Stick a un in front of that for the 8

2:53 am

joey

yvw. i had to really think about that!!

2:53 am

Merk

ty, I was just searching for my thinking cap. I think I forgot to pack it. That and frozen brain cells!

2:54 am

mkl

What's the temp there Merk?

2:56 am

jean1953

good morning everybody:)

2:56 am

Merk

It's almost 5 PM and it's about -10 degrees Fahrenheit.

2:57 am

jillibus

well, I said I was going to bed a while ago and now I really am *gone*

2:57 am

Merk

It is far below -0 by dawn.

2:57 am

Merk

G'night

2:57 am

mkl

How cold does it get? We had 49 below about 5 days ago. it's warmed up to about 5 above right now

2:58 am

Merk

I am glad you stayed up long enough to help me so graciously.

2:59 am

Merk

The coldest I've seen in three winters here is about -35 to -40 degrees Fahrenheit.

2:59 am

mkl

Cold enough

3:00 am

Merk

Where are you? That's very cold by you!

3:01 am

mkl

I live in Central Alaska. About 40 miles south of Fairbanks

3:02 am

Merk

Ah, that explains it.

3:03 am

Merk

Brain fog. I am missing one of the se 4. It's the little ones that throw me.

3:03 am

mkl

It's still early winter for both of us. The coldest I've seen it in the 6 years I've lived here is minus 61. Fortunately, there's no wind chill factor. Almost never a breeze during the winter.

3:05 am

Merk

We do get some wind. The other day I about froze walking back from lunch.

3:07 am

mkl

Every time I make the mistake of complaining about the cold, one of the old-timers tells me about how cold it USED to be. Bring on the global warming

3:12 am

sprite

back

3:13 am

jean1953

hello sprite:)

3:13 am

mkl

hiya sprite

3:13 am

o-o

Hello again, sprite.

3:13 am

sprite

hi all :) Any luck with the grid so far? It is a toughie for me.

3:14 am

Merk

Hi, Sprite

3:14 am

rolin

oh gawd sprite...if youre struggling..

3:14 am

cindasu

mkl how long have you been here

3:14 am

o-o

Methodically plodding along. The end is nearer than it was before.

3:15 am

mkl

You mean just now, or on the earth?

3:15 am

sprite

lol rolin - doesn't tell anything about other's experiences. I have been known to be blind for words like sons and hoof and such, to call a few.

3:15 am

cindasu

in mean in alaska

3:16 am

sprite

lol mkl - both could be true.

3:16 am

mkl

Almost six years.

3:16 am

rolin

yeah i know sprite... but you can usually find stuff quickly..

3:17 am

cindasu

i've been here since 69 and have seen it really cold but i like the warmer now

3:18 am

rolin

oooooh yet another school\ girl pushing for wearing a cross on a chain at school...*yawn*

3:18 am

mkl

My friends keep telling me about how cold it USED to be. Cold enough now. Seems like you usually get more snow than us, but we get it colder.

3:18 am

mkl

Personally, I'd trade.

3:18 am

cindasu

true gots lots of snow now

3:19 am

rolin

7 x z's......*sigh*

3:20 am

Merk

I believe in global warming though. Each winter here is a tad bit milder than the winter before. And then there's the old timers' stories just like in Alaska.

3:20 am

sprite

there's a Zo7 that drove me bananas, rolin.

3:20 am

rolin

theres ba 7??!!...oooog goddie..

3:21 am

mkl

I'm sure we're warming up. Just not sure how much we have to do with it. The earth's always gone through warming and cooling periods.

3:21 am

sprite

lol

3:22 am

sprite

mkl, that is what I think too. We have songs in Holland about the "good oldfashioned winters" with snow and ice. Old songs. There obviously have been colder periods, but just as obviously there have been warmer times, in which they wrote those songs :)

3:23 am

mkl

Even worse than that. (Ice ages)

3:23 am

mkl

brrrr

3:24 am

sprite

that too, on a much larger scale.

3:24 am

mkl

I was watching a National Geographic the other day about that. They actually figured out when humans began to speak.

3:24 am

mkl

The first words were****

3:24 am

mkl

Great googly moogly that's a big chunk of ice.

3:24 am

sprite

worst mistake of all - even worse than getting out of those trees.

3:27 am

Merk

I'm still missing the an 8,40. Has anyone found it yet?

3:27 am

jean1953

got to dash happy babbling everybody:)

3:28 am

sprite

3:28 am

Hi Odin

3:46 am

Odin

Quite a grid today!

3:47 am

sprite

3:47 am

Odin

What's up BabRab?

3:48 am

Niamh

I am addicted enough to still be here...

3:48 am

4:19 am

Kazzer99

Hi Ex Wren

4:19 am

Odin

Glad to hear the weathers improved. We need rain here and non in sight.

4:22 am

Kazzer99

Ondin - I fear the improvement is only temporary as more rain has been forecast for here - we seem to be making up for the dry winters w've had

4:23 am

Odin

We too have has a mild dry winter. Even the northern states are remarkably warm and have had no winter to speak of. Only Colorado has been hit with blizzrads. Weird weather these days.

1:53 pm

hurshy

1:53 pm

cybernan

1:55 pm

hurshy

i think they are lying about the number of P's.

1:56 pm

Haz1558

There's a praising sequence right at the start, pa5/12 (twice) and pa6/21.

1:56 pm

Mom

Yes Hurshy, I agree

1:56 pm

hurshy

yeah, i have those...

1:56 pm

1:58 pm

hurshy

why do i always miss flower ending words

1:59 pm

Uneaixoise

no green thumb?

1:59 pm

hurshy

i think so haz, is that the one that is also a toyota model?

1:59 pm

Haz1558

Mercy, I have no idea - pa plus Mr Gershwin, but different consonant.

1:59 pm

hurshy

and i have another pa5/12 that sounds like the beginning of a pattern on like a necktie

2:00 pm

hurshy

oh, then NO, i did NOT have that, hooray!!

2:00 pm

hurshy

one more to go!!!

2:00 pm

Haz1558

That pa5 has a following pa6/21 (it leads to the pa7/32)

2:01 pm

hurshy

yeah. i just miss one p5/12 now.

2:02 pm

Haz1558

pa5/12 - a slow spanish walk? or pa5/12 - take the r from the jubilation.

2:03 pm

hurshy

a slow... spanish... walk... maybe... i took french, lemme think

2:03 pm

LoriP

16 words left means I'd have to do straight housework time. Not good....

2:03 pm

hurshy

or maybe the slow spanish walk is the toyota model.

2:03 pm

Haz1558

French step, two vowels.

2:03 pm

Haz1558

It may be the Toyota model.

2:04 pm

hurshy

yeah, it is.

2:04 pm

hurshy

perhaps it wasn't a wise choice of name for them, lol

2:05 pm

Haz1558

Then might it be the pa5/12 sandwiched between pa7/32 and pa4/5 (the root of the spanish walk)

2:05 pm

hurshy

nope, have that too - it needn't be a pa...

2:06 pm

Haz1558

po5/12 - not rich gains a vowel

2:07 pm

hurshy

aha! thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!

2:08 pm

Haz1558

Mom

2:20 pm

LoriP

The downside, I must earnestly apply myself to housework. :(

2:20 pm

Mom

I'll be thinking of you Lori

2:20 pm

cybernan

yes -- not working from a list either -- going off one of Haz's clues for Hurshy

2:21 pm

hurshy

it's the one where she said drop r from a joyful thanks

2:21 pm

Haz1558

cybernan - pa5/12 - if it were pr6 it would relate to the jubilant words at the beginning of the pa sequence

2:21 pm

Mom

I didn't get them either then. :)

2:22 pm

cybernan

if you mean the glory be word without the r, I have it

2:23 pm

hurshy

well that's the one between the 7 and the 4

2:23 pm

cybernan

I have 2 achey words and 2 colourful words in between

2:24 pm

hurshy

you need another 6/7 combo then

2:24 pm

hurshy

alt sp of the prev one

2:24 pm

Angb

Have you the one whre it's the same first 4 letters asas the one clue but use an eariier vowel on the end?

2:24 pm

Haz1558

Change the vowel at the end to an earlier one, and that will lead into a pa6 and pa7 combination

2:26 pm

cybernan

I'm confused-- have pa 5/12, 6/21, 7/32, 7/32, 4/5 -- is there a pa 5/12 between the last two?

2:26 pm

hurshy

you need another combo, with i instead of e!!!

9:11 pm

Yoink

She was when younger jilli, but it was unrelated and degenerative. Helen, actually it has helped me in some ways, to find a path in life and also seemingly to cure me of my depression - somewhat unobviously

9:11 pm

ahhh.. jili... ce'st la vie

9:13 pm

helenkeller

yoink - you are very fortunate then, exact opposite for me - i was on a path, but afterwards couldn't stay on it & haven't really found another of like value to replace it

9:14 pm

smooth_pappa

9:14 pm

Yoink

:( Sorry to hear that Helen. I think it is such a big event it can do any number of things to a person

9:15 pm

smooth_pappa

no kidding yoink. with my dad, we knew it was coming, so we prepared the best we could, and it didn't really derail any of us, but it did change a lot of perspectives in my family

9:15 pm

jillibus

bye helen -- cheer up if you can

9:16 pm

jillibus

have to go check on supper

9:18 pm

Yoink

We knew too, Smooth, but it came quicker than expected. Nothing happened consciously but somewhere inside me my brain reassessed things and decided I could go back to being happy after the grieving was done

9:19 pm

stidmama

we can know it's coming, but there is always that moment when it *really* happens...

9:21 pm

smooth_pappa

yeah, it was an earth shattering moment... but for me personally, I havelearned to remember and love thing great things about my dad. we had problems as a teenager (who didn't) but honestly, it never changed much in my life... istill got the education I was undertaking, and worked for (probably) the same jobs that I would have anyway

9:36 pm

cybernan

pa + vowel + different preposition

9:38 pm

cybernan

pa + vowel + french without - the s at the end -- next two 7's add different vowels

And then there are those six imams who were taken off the plane back in November...

9:59 pm

smooth_pappa

although reminds me... just a bit of salzburg... went to an internet cafe run by pakistanis... they had the rates on a sign, and then uner that said "Pakistanis will receive a 40% discount" lol

9:59 pm

It's been covered extensively here in Minnesota, but I don't know how it's been covered around the country

9:59 pm

smooth_pappa

'm only here in madison, not far atll, and I hadn't heard a thing about it

10:01 pm

Douglas

The six imams were returning to Phoenix from Minneapolis. on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving

10:01 pm

smooth_pappa

though the lack of coverage doesn't surprise me... The twin cities and Milwaukee seem to be two major metro areas that never eceive any media coverage unless there is a griseley murder or something

10:06 pm

Douglas

The six people in question had just finished attending an imams conference

10:07 pm

smooth_pappa

that same flight to salzburg, There were two muslim men seated next to me. One was very calm, and the other started sweating and praying ass soon as the plane started moving... to me it looked like a nervous passanger... God knows I've seen Christian prayers on an airplne just before takeoff... but I saw a lot of eyes on that guy.

10:09 pm

Douglas

Was he sitting next to an exit? The reason I ask is that these six individuals moved from their assigned seats to the seats at the front, back and window exits

10:09 pm

smaller

babble is loading incorrectly for me. anyone else having difficulties?

10:10 pm

smaller

probably all those vowels

10:10 pm

Hi smaller, I was having trouble too but I cracked my whip and all is well now!

10:11 pm

smooth_pappa

he was close to an exit... we were all seated in the first "coach class" row... I think there was an exit in that row... now this guy wasn't trying to be suspicious... to me e lookd just nervous about a flight... I know people can be nervous about those... my grandma won't fly... she'd probably pray more thanh him on a plane... but because he was muslim, and prayng in arabice, a lot of eyes were on him... and i must confess, he grabbed my attenton, as well

10:11 pm

Yoink

You broke it smaller

smaller, I thought I was going to get the booby prize with only 81 words!

10:40 pm

Douglas

The tiny building with a single room has brought Jones international recognition. The 1981 AIA Honor Award jury singled out Thorncrown, as did Newsweek, which called it â€œmetaphysical.â€ In 2000, members of the American Institute of Architects voted the chapel one of the top 10 buildings of the 20th century. So successful in attracting weddings and worship services was the entire site that in 1989 the owner commissioned a second Jones structure down the hillside, the Thorncrown Worship Center, to accommodate larger crowds.

Quoting from Architectural Record

any kind, I guess, rennie!

as4/4 occurs frequently in crossword puzzles, usually clued as lost, clueless, etc.

11:11 pm

FranMag

it had a pretty complicated plot, but the funnier parts were about the dermatologist that had leprosy as a child

11:11 pm

FranMag

he got cured and decided to dedicate his life to helping others with skin problems.

11:12 pm

FranMag

at the beginning no one knows he had been a leper, so when they find out the hilarity ensues.

11:12 pm

jillibus

that doesn't sound exactly hilarious, fran!

11:12 pm

FranMag

i guess you had to be there.

11:12 pm

Douglas

My death waits like an old ****

11:12 pm

Douglas

So confident I'll go his way
Whistle to him and the passing time
My death waits like a bible truth
At the funeral of my youth
Weep loud for that and the passing time
My death waits like a witch at night
As surely as our love is bright
Let's not think about the passing time

11:13 pm

Douglas

I'm actually quite chipper and cheery, just giving a musical clue from Jacques Brel...
