Hi spirte :)

3:45 am

sprite

nice size today. And nice first words :) Started with a nice drink and something good to eat.

3:46 am

herinfernallady

How are you Sprite?

3:47 am

sprite

seriously stressed out. Lots of sadness about the thing with my father and yesterday my hubby told me he wants us to move to a boat. Living ship. Don't know the word. We are going to make an appointment to look at it today.

3:50 am

lynxxx

Oh Sprite, thats a lot on your plate. Houseboat is probably the word you are looking for, don't knw how that would work out with the kids - ??. Did you make contact w. your father after the photos arrived (aside from your letter) or are you still mulling over it?

3:52 am

herinfernallady

Sprite i don't know what happened yesturday its ok no need to rehash. Take care

3:52 am

sprite

only the letter, lynxxx, which is all I am prepared to do. His letter showed he is still the same manipulating bully he always was, so it is stupid to think letting him back into my life will be a positive thing. Guess I am mourning losing what I never had. Stupid hah.

3:53 am

sprite

and I have been forced to move about 20 times in my life. I am petrified of moving. Well, that is how I am. How are you guys doing today?

3:53 am

herinfernallady

Hugs sprite

3:54 am

sprite

thanks lady, for the hug :)

3:54 am

lynxxx

You have a wonderful husband & kids Sprite, you are missing nothing!

3:55 am

herinfernallady

Sprite why do you have to move? Does your father own the house?

3:55 am

sprite

so true, lynxxx! That is what I am telling myself. We built something my father will never have. I know I am stupid to be so sad. But I am.

3:56 am

herinfernallady

Hugs lots of hugs sprite

3:56 am

sprite

Lady: no, but part of my hubby's burnout is caused by money problems. He wants to move to a cheaper home. It is all because I cannot work anymore.

3:56 am

herinfernallady

Oh ok. I understand.

3:57 am

herinfernallady

Money issues really suck.

3:58 am

sprite

they do, especially if someone cannot see things are working out anyway. My love is stressed out over it, no matter how often I show him we are doing ok. Not great, but ok.

3:58 am

lynxxx

I've seen a few shows on people who undertake houseboat living. Its looks quite difficult and with many many things to consider like where to moor it and the cost of that. Maybe there are other options you can consider also. I so hope this issue can be quickly overcome - if only for your sake {{hugs}}

3:58 am

herinfernallady

Ok is good

4:00 am

PMS

r

4:00 am

sprite

thanks so much, lynxxx. And lady. It really helps to be allowed to vent to you and know you care.
True about the houseboat living issues. But how to reason with a man whose dream it is to live on the water?

4:00 am

Book Doctor Gwen

morning all, or evening, etc!

4:00 am

sprite

hi Gwen!

4:00 am

Book Doctor Gwen

wonder how long it'll take me to finish 1/4 of this puzzle

4:01 am

lynxxx

Sprite - perhaps that dream can wait until the kids leave home, really that would not be long to wait

4:01 am

sprite

about 1/6 of the time it will take to finish all of it ;)

4:01 am

herinfernallady

Book HI.

4:01 am

lynxxx

Hi Gwen - probably not long - lots and lots of 'endings'

4:01 am

herinfernallady

Sprite what about your mobility issues and boating?

4:01 am

sprite

I am right with you, lynxxx! Now only to convince my love.

4:02 am

sprite

Lady: not at all easy. That is partly why I agreed to come looking at it. Perhaps if he sees how tough it is for me to just get on and off, he will realise it is not the best way to go.

4:03 am

sprite

I'd hate to veto it, though I will if I have to. It is much better if we can work it out together.

4:03 am

herinfernallady

Ok Sprite

4:06 am

sprite

Gwen, about 25 minutes for 1/3 of this grid.

4:06 am

4:42 am

redturtlehead

The job is usually fine, yesterday I got a very critical patient who tried to die a variety of times and then had this horrible all over bleeding issue, and I did nto enjoy it at all.

4:44 am

4:44 am

I can't seem to take a trick at the moment

4:48 am

herinfernallady

Damn Andree thats irritating

4:48 am

sprite

4:50 am

Andree

no lynxxx , across the road in a little reserve where it was parked as my temporary driver had to take the day off, otherwise it would not have been in the wrong place at the wrong time

4:51 am

sprite

things are not easy business-wise for you at the moment, are they Andree :(

4:52 am

lynxxx

as you said 'can't take a trick' hope it isn't too damaged. I assume you have the gale type winds we had a few days ago Andree

4:52 am

Andree

it will probably be drivable, the roof is damaged etc, I have taken lots of photos for the insurance but if the cables are undamaged it should be able to make deliveries tomorrow

4:54 am

Book Doctor Gwen

aw gee thanks

4:58 am

Andree

its next to a school and by the phone calls to the office when it happened must have been when school ended for the day and all the kids use this area as a shortcut, so the upside is if the truck wasn't there it would have killed someone

4:58 am

LoriP

Oh yes Ata, I saw that. Quite amazing. The rain kept them somewhat contained, and they are trying to keep it that way......

4:59 am

Hi AJV

Bye Scarlet.

9:10 am

Scarlet

*delirious?* 'Bye!

9:10 am

Haz1558

I was delighted for her. I watched the match at home, yelling from time to time.

9:11 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, harpjane.

9:11 am

BzznBea

I wasn't sure Murry was going to pull it out.

9:11 am

Haz1558

I was convinced he was going to lose and couldn't quite believe what was happening.

9:12 am

BzznBea

But now he must play Rapha.

9:12 am

Haz1558

But that's the thrill of tennis. It isn't over until it's over, if you know what I mean. I was sure they were going to run out of light.

9:12 am

Haz1558

I can't see him beating Nadal, I really can't. He's playing so powerfully.

9:13 am

BzznBea

Only if Nadal has an injury, I think.

9:13 am

kje

must go again - butt getting numb - BBL

9:13 am

Haz1558

Bye kje.

9:14 am

BzznBea

Tata, kje.

9:14 am

Haz1558

An injury, or both arms tied behind his back, or made to wear ankle chains.

9:14 am

BzznBea

LOL!

9:14 am

Haz1558

THEN Murray might have a chance.

9:16 am

Haz1558

Anyway, the sky is brightening a bit so I'd better take the chance to get Spangle a walk. Have a good day. Bye!

9:16 am

BzznBea

10:49 am

harpjane

My summer job was on Isle Royale, an island in the middle of Lake Superior. The closest part of the mainland was Thunder Bay, Ontario. Folks were getting homesick, cabin fever etc. and although fireworks were not allowed on the Island, our boss agreed to take us by boat to a spot where we could, allegedly, see the Canada Day fireworks in Thunder Bay....

10:50 am

BzznBea

c+ru5/12

10:51 am

flosey

sharon, not urban, but *****

10:51 am

harpjane

So off we go, into the middle of Lake Superior. The western sky was beautiful and it turned into a hundred different colors as we headed further into the lake.

10:52 am

harpjane

Eventually we could see little pink and orange "dots" on the horizon, the fireworks at Thunder Bay. Everyone was straining to see these little poofs, and they were completely ignoring the beautiful sunset....

10:52 am

lexleeanne

d's done

10:53 am

harpjane

As the evening continued, the sunset faded into Northern Lights, then a beautiful set of bright stars. But everyone was still trying to see the little teeny fireworks....

10:53 am

harpjane

29 years ago and I still remember the fireworks that God showed us!

10:53 am

rururocks

I have all the cu's except the 5/16 at the end. anyone have a clue on that one?

11:35 am

caitlyn

Hi babrab

11:37 am

Scarlet

BR-r... it is so good to see that your computer did not die... you had mentioned some weeks back that you might disappear altogether if your machine did not improve. Good news that you are still amongst the living.

11:37 am

Aloyisius

BTW, I printed out that RWE quote... love it so much and haven't seen it for a long time.. I ty for that Scarlet.

11:38 am

Scarlet

How are you, Aloy... Cait... Bzzz? Catch me up, please! Thank you, Aloy...neither had I seen it in many ages, but it just "appeared" when beloved was going through the storm...

11:39 am

11:40 am

Scarlet

What was Saturday, Cait... a birthday that I missed?

11:40 am

o-o

I thought I would try Steinbeck's mantra for a bit .. to the stars on the wings of a pig

11:41 am

Aloyisius

Am fine, Scarlet.. traveling a wee bit too much this year.. mostly family related. Seems our fledglings have all located out west... gheez.. Calif, NM and AZ.. with airfares and the economy and all, we have gently notified them all that perhaps a well-planned family reunion in a convenient spot during a NON holiday time would be a better alternative in the future..

11:41 am

caitlyn

You have had more than enough to worry about Scarlet but yes it was my bday on Sat

11:41 am

Aloyisius

Happy Belated B-day, caitlyn!

11:42 am

Scarlet

LOL... Aloy, I know what you mean about travelling... but at least you had the opportunity to see the gang! How is your darling Mia?

11:42 am

caitlyn

Thank you Aloy

11:42 am

Scarlet

Cait... I am not in a worry mode now... So: HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO CAITLYN!! @@@ <----roses and truffles for

Scarlet

11:44 am

o-o

seems as though birthdays show up every year around the same time

11:45 am

Aloyisius

Mia is wonderful tho her mom reports that she still fights going to sleep in her crib.. we are going out next month to "babysit" for a couple of weeks while the other grandma takes a well-deserved vacation break..

11:45 am

Scarlet

It's so odd, BR-r... danged if I know how that works.

11:46 am

caitlyn

My grandchildren laugh at me because Iforget my age, theyhave to tell me
LOL BabRab they come quicker now though

11:46 am

Scarlet

Oh, Aloy... a couple of weeks with the little rosebud... how sweet is that?

11:46 am

Aloyisius

priceless, Scarlet.. (-:

11:46 am

caitlyn

That will be great Aloy, Im sure you will have lots of fun

11:47 am

Scarlet

My grands just stare at me when I tell them, "Yes, Baba is very, very old," and then I break into a spontaneous version of the Funky Chicken... LOL

11:47 am

caitlyn

LOL

11:47 am

Aloyisius

LOL, Scarlet.. I have a great quote for you.. hang on

11:47 am

Scarlet

Okey dokey...

11:48 am

caitlyn

All holding our breath........

11:49 am

Aloyisius

"Those who dance were thought to be quite insane, by those who do not hear the music"

11:49 am

Scarlet

**getting blue here**

11:49 am

Scarlet

Ohhhh... perfect for us, Aloy...

11:49 am

Aloyisius

sorry... don't know the author, but LOVE the quote

11:49 am

caitlyn

I think its great Aloy

11:50 am

Aloyisius

yes, i guess i identify with it... go funky chicken!

11:50 am

caitlyn

Although there was no music in a hot and sweaty Tescos shop today

11:51 am

Scarlet

There was another one that I just loved, but cannot remember the exact quote: I want to slip on a banana peel when I'm all used up in my 90's with a cigarette in one hand and a drink in the other... actually the quote was better than my ancient memory, but it was cute!! Yea for Funky Chicken dancers worldwide!!

11:51 am

Uniquity

Well, some places say Angela Monet, others say George Carlin, and yet others say other people. (The author, that is)

11:51 am

Aloyisius

lol, i get the drift, Scarlet!

11:51 am

caitlyn

Hi Uni!!

11:51 am

11:53 am

Aloyisius

11:53 am

Uniquity

Hello all...I really wish this grid weren't so darned big! Only 156 so far.

11:54 am

Scarlet

Uni, are you going to be in line for the first viewing of the second X-Files' movie? I can't wait. :-)

11:54 am

Uniquity

We went to see a parade this morning (rather disappointing) and are now hibernating in the cool of our apt until this evening for the fireworks. It's my first day off in a while, so mostly relaxing.

11:54 am

Aloyisius

ah, well... good thing you have the day off on a BigGrid day!

11:54 am

nancethefan

12:00 pm

Haz1558

There are three cu7/36 - the easiest one to find is the last - plural hot Indian food. The penultimate one is the same, save for the final letter which moves one back in the alphabet. The first cu7/36 is plural cu6/24 - it ends in the past tense of 'sprint'.

12:00 pm

Aloyisius

hi there, Haz!

12:01 pm

aw, nice icon evanadine

12:29 pm

EvaNadine

TY hurshy -- im rather fond of unis :)

12:29 pm

hurshy

i love canada, btw, just too lazy to change my icon, y'know... i'll change it in november.

12:30 pm

Uniquity

I was trying to find one I actually liked and this was it. But thanks! :)

12:30 pm

Uniquity

There were so many cute little girls and boys out today in shirts with flags all over them. It always tugs my heartstrings.

12:32 pm

EvaNadine

we have our holiday coming up on friday -- gonna be tons of red, white + blue everywhere!

12:32 pm

hurshy

C's and S's *hunted look*

12:33 pm

Uniquity

Canada Day is the only 'holiday' I really like. I end up sniffling with overwhelming gratitude from time to time. Seeing vets sets me right off!

12:34 pm

hurshy

you don't like christmas?

12:34 pm

EvaNadine

im a Halloween gal, personally...
but fireworks are always fun too. :)

12:35 pm

Uniquity

Loathe Christmas. Over-blown stressful days with very rude people for weeks before and after. Ptth. Halloween is fab too, I suppose. Except for the egging/TPing/violence part. Hooligans, I say!

12:35 pm

Uniquity

I'm such an old lady :)

12:35 pm

hurshy

hooligans and ruffians!

12:35 pm

pugmama763

I agree UNI!!

12:36 pm

hurshy

oooeee i finished the left D

12:37 pm

Uneaixoise

got here just in time to defend Xmas, I see!!!

12:37 pm

EvaNadine

i enjoy christmas, but thats probably because (1) i always get the most heartfelt gifts, regardless of price (high or low) and (2) i shop online!
heh

it helps that the BF and i actually celebrate the christianity of it all as well!

12:37 pm

Gadget

Happy Canada day folks

12:38 pm

hurshy

hooligans, ruffians, and harum-scarums (but scarum doesn't count as a word)

12:38 pm

Uneaixoise

to you too, gadget!

12:39 pm

Uniquity

*Declining religious aspect of holidays altogether* :) And the cost...pahoo, the cost. Lack of sincerity, the feeling of "having" to give gifts to certain people. I prefer to celebrate only with those I wish to spend time with. I love that part, but the rest I could leave.

12:39 pm

EvaNadine

im with you on all counts, uni!

12:40 pm

hurshy

new word, open for definition contest: crudge

12:40 pm

Uniquity

Anyway, no time for controversy! How is the weather in the Southern North America?

12:40 pm

Uneaixoise

love the music, the decorations, the lights . . . and love my annual buffet dinner for friends!

12:40 pm

Crudge sounds like a shortened version of curmudgeon (sp?).

12:41 pm

wildcat17

thx

12:41 pm

wildcat17

trying to keep up with hursh have 4 more of those d's to go

12:41 pm

Uneaixoise

12:41 pm

wildcat17

I like that one

12:42 pm

hurshy

there ya go, une, that's the creative spirit!

12:42 pm

12:42 pm

Uniquity

The co words are blowing me away. I am ignoring them.

12:42 pm

hurshy

oh ho, so there are a lot of co words, are there?

12:42 pm

hurshy

i only have one, clearly i must look at these

12:42 pm

Uniquity

Only 7, but I don't like them.

12:43 pm

Uneaixoise

just wrapped up the co's with a big fat bow!

12:43 pm

Uneaixoise

hursh, think of a french after-dinner drink

12:43 pm

Uneaixoise

and plural

12:43 pm

hurshy

yep, just found those

12:43 pm

hurshy

and had the dude from the jetsons

12:44 pm

Uniquity

Oh, done them now. They all seem french. Thanks, Une!

12:44 pm

Uneaixoise

:-D

12:44 pm

hurshy

er, i mean, what the dude MADE - it was only part of his name.

12:44 pm

hurshy

they all seem french, eh?

12:45 pm

Uneaixoise

all of the last four sound like the call of a French duck

12:45 pm

hurshy

they don't just ... quack?

12:45 pm

Uneaixoise

yep and that's what they sound like :-)

12:51 pm

Atalante

12:52 pm

hurshy

12:53 pm

periwinkle

hurshy, I meant that as a question

12:53 pm

hurshy

12:54 pm

hurshy

ce6 sounds like a dog star

12:54 pm

12:54 pm

12:54 pm

12:54 pm

Uniquity

...Smarties are always chocolate! They are smarties!

12:54 pm

hurshy

and then, i need all the other ce6, so if you clue them it's a twofer

12:54 pm

periwinkle

ok, I have had american smarties and don't like them

12:55 pm

hurshy

nobody likes them. i'm surprised they haven't gone out of business.

12:55 pm

hurshy

maybe they get government subsidies.

12:55 pm

Uniquity

What is in them then? Air?

12:55 pm

periwinkle

hursh, did you see my clue for one of the ce6

12:55 pm

hurshy

12:55 pm

periwinkle

waaay toooo many C words here

12:56 pm

periwinkle

they are really nasty candies, american smarties

12:56 pm

Uniquity

Whatever these so called American Smarties are, they sound like an abomination.

12:57 pm

hurshy

an abomination that causes desolation

12:57 pm

SeanS

they're still better than candy hearts... i swear they're made with chalk and beeswax

12:57 pm

Uniquity

Thanks Peri, Hursh. Only three ce left for me.

12:57 pm

hurshy

i disagree, the tartness makes smarties worse, in my opinion

12:58 pm

Uniquity

I amwondering if American Smarties aren't what I call Rockets...off to google!

12:58 pm

Uniquity

They are little discs of compressed sugar that come rolled up in plastic, yes?

12:59 pm

SeanS

indeed, Uni

12:59 pm

hurshy

yes

12:59 pm

Uniquity

Those are rockets, up here. Little kids like them. Big halloween candy. Not that great, but no abomination!

1:01 pm

periwinkle

hey, Scarlet, I am here too!

1:01 pm

Uniquity

I wonder now why you guys don't just call them rockets as well. I'll need to remember this in the future. I wonder if it is because rocket is a touchy term? Hmm...

1:01 pm

Uniquity

The song Gay Bar has been edited now because it says "lets start a war, a nuclear war"....they put fuzz over war and nuclear war. I don't think it is always editted though. At least, I hope.

Uniquity

cr*ella devile + I **n all the way here!

1:05 pm

Uniquity

then add a consonant for the 6.

1:05 pm

periwinkle

thanks Uni, was getting a headache looking for them

1:06 pm

SeanS

i just wikipedia-ed the whole smarties vs. rockets thing, it says that the reason they are marketed as rockets in Canada is too avoid confusion with the Nestle Smarties, which is the European chocolate candy

1:06 pm

hurshy

50 to go!!!

1:06 pm

Atalante

the REAL smarties!

1:07 pm

Scarlet

1:09 pm

Scarlet

Add a vowel

1:09 pm

periwinkle

have that cu hursh, thanks

1:09 pm

hurshy

ah well peri, just thought i would try

1:09 pm

Uniquity

Almostall the cu words I have start with cu and the consonant from 'to heal'

1:11 pm

SeanS

sorry for the delay (i'm at work) but Uni, I'm pretty sure that the European Smarties were around first, which is why they had to market them as Rockets in Canada... because Smarties already existed for you.

1:11 pm

hurshy

mine too, all but actor prompts

1:12 pm

Uniquity

This is just silly. Then American Smarties should be called rockets as well. I wish that 'name brands' didn't make everything so complicated. But thanks Sean! I was way too lazy to research.

1:12 pm

Atalante

Our Snickers used to be called Marathons. Wish they still were

1:13 pm

redturtlehead

Good Afternoon everyone. Anyone for coffee, I just made a fresh pot of Sumatran.

Aloyisius

lol... lo again, Scarlet!

1:14 pm

Scarlet

Howdy, Aloy!

1:14 pm

SeanS

well, see they made them in American, not knowing about the chocolate candies under the same name. then when they went to market the candy in Canada, they were like "oh, you already have smarties... what can we call them?" hence the difference... americans already knew them as smarties, which is why they didn't change the name for us

1:14 pm

periwinkle

Hi Aloy

1:14 pm

hurshy

cu5 sounds like actors john & joan

1:14 pm

Scarlet

So much happier now that the crisis is over, red! How are you now?

For those who care, the official version of O Canada says "our home and NATIVE land" (and we have lots of immigrants), and "...in all our SONS command..." which leaves out over half the population.

my mother and I were in England when the war got serious == her family was in NYC and invited us over -- strings were pulled to get us alien resident status.

5:02 pm

Scarlet

Oh, jilli... I had no idea... that may have saved your lives. What did your mother think of Churchill's wartime planning?

5:03 pm

jillibus

my father was interned in Hong Kong and eventually went to NY where he lived until 1966.

5:04 pm

jillibus

I think she idolised Churchill and FDR as did all of us

5:04 pm

Scarlet

What a family history, jilli. Was your father there in Hong Kong until the end of the war.

5:04 pm

Scarlet

So many folks thought highly of the two leaders... it's hard for me to think otherwise, since I was born at the end of WWII.

5:05 pm

jillibus

yes, scarlet, and for a while afterwards. I didn't see him for almost 10 years, but after the war we wrote lots of letters -- particularly he did -- every Sunday.

5:05 pm

no more s's, yay!

My mother joined him in 1946. I was a McGill then.

jillibus

He wrote some "exercises in metrical prose" while he was imprisoned and they are such a revelation as to his thoughts.

5:08 pm

Scarlet

What a mind and heart... why was he imprisoned? What was his crime against society? Was it genetic?

5:09 pm

jillibus

I stayed with my aunt in NY, but had become engaged to my future hubby and we were married the next year. I had been given $600 and a choice -- use it to go to China or use it for the wedding if I hadn't changed my mind. We didn't go in for elaborate weddings in those post-war days!

5:10 pm

Scarlet

LOL, jilli... have you written this story down for the future generations?

5:10 pm

jillibus

scarlet -- it was wartime -- he and all "enemy civilians" were interned by the Japanese.

5:11 pm

artlady

5:11 pm

Scarlet

Oh, dear God, jilli... and this country that I love, interned all Japanese/Americans... the story is horrific...

5:11 pm

jillibus

I've written some of it but the grandkids (now 23 and 29) are not interested.

5:11 pm

artlady

Jilli, they may be some day.

5:12 pm

autumn moon

you write it out, Jilli and I will read it...

5:12 pm

Scarlet

They will be some day, I hope, jilli...I would be honored to read this. I already am so touched by a few simple words now...

5:12 pm

Canada interned Japanese-Canadians too, but has since apologised and offered some compensation. No such thing the other way round.

5:12 pm

Uneaixoise

same here, autumn . . . Jilli has some amazing family stories . . .

5:13 pm

Uneaixoise

didn't realize that about Canadian internment, jilli

5:14 pm

Scarlet

The two countries believed that they were doing the right thing... the U.S.A. also formally apologized, but I don't recall any compensation.

5:14 pm

pugmama763

after Hiroshima they probably don't feel they need to apologize for anything

5:14 pm

autumn moon

My aunt attended the "service" in Ottawa, as my grandfather's oldest surviving heir, to receive the formal apology. It wasn't just the japanese/canadians, it was anyone oriental.

5:15 pm

Uneaixoise

Congress issued a formal apology in 1988 and offered $20,000 apiece in compensation to the survivors of the camps, who lost their freedom and property without any formal legal proceedings.

5:15 pm

AprilD

pug, I believe there has been some compensation recently but those that received it chose to put it into an educational endowment (and museum I believe) about the US internment experience.

5:15 pm

Scarlet

I think it was Harry S Truman's darkest hour...

that is why the educational endowment was established. So it isn't brushed under the rug.

What I put into slim books for them were letters from my father when we were apart at various stages. I only have a couple of copies left. Thanks to Microsoft, I'm not sure I can reproduce them properly because they were done on MS Publisher using Windows 98. When I got a new computer using XP I could no longer open those files. It's a long story (actually, Babble-connected) but there was a guy in England I didn't know who offered to have me send him the files, which he would open on his kids' 98 and then he knew how to convert them and send them back, usable on XP. But some fonts were changed and I haven't tried printing them yet.

5:18 pm

my daughter was horrified to learn we had to wear dresses , even in winter to school till i was in 2nd grade!

5:20 pm

AprilD

It doesn't seem real to me that I am 38 and when I was a kid my mom was the first female in her company to buy a house without a male signature. Her eventual husband was, however, able to sell the house without her knowing it while we were away on vacation.

5:21 pm

Scarlet

I was walking down the street of Boloxi, MS in 1962 and what I saw and heard scarred my heart and mind forever, Une... and our children can't quite wrap themselves around the horror, the ugliness and the flat-out unfairness of the treatment I saw, first-hand.

5:21 pm

and we couldn't wear pants on my college campus till my senior year!

my memory is a horrible one...I remember her ripping the front door off the house, and beating him on the chest (I was 8 or 9) and she still stayed with him, we moved to a small town in another state and lived in a series of trailers and motels for a long time until we could find a house.

5:25 pm

In Quebec in the fifties (and even later, maybe) a woman couldn't sign permission for surgery. If her husband was out of town and a child need an operation, tough luck.

6:56 pm

herinfernallady

My Grandma said that only women of the night wear red shoes. And the reason girls today don't see how bad their butts are and how short their skirts are is there is no seamed stockings to straighten

6:56 pm

herinfernallady

Cross Ask him what do you want

mmmmm seamed stockings.....

9:31 pm

stidmama

later autumn! be well!

9:31 pm

Jacula
