someone had given a def for a word, and some of us looked it up on google, and I asked if that was considered cheating or not. And you spoke (well, wrote) the famous words: "Looking up the actual words is cheating. All the rest.... is research."

7:39 am

Dorens

my life is lovely. an old beau who didn't work out three years ago seems to be working much better these days. makes a big difference. but he won't come between me and babble, i've made that clear to him

7:39 am

Scarlet

Wow, Do... that's an interesting turn of events! :-)

7:41 am

Dorens

quite interesting, particularly since he married (which is what he needed to do to someone) a much younger woman, then movedinto my neighborhood (which, in fairness he lived in for a long time before that) and i had to pass his house every day and think about the fact that maybe i did miss him

7:41 am

herinfernallady

glad its working

7:41 am

Scarlet

So the "maybe" turned into a reality and you reconnected... that's fodder for a screenplay... LOL

7:41 am

Dorens

not a surprise that that marriage failed, and he turned up on my doorstep

7:42 am

Scarlet

Some puppies have to go where the kindness was...

7:42 am

Dorens

well, so far it is. we shall see. i am sort of past the age of stars in my eyes, but he is a terrific man and i certainly appreciate him more now, and might be more open to possibilities

7:43 am

herinfernallady

good

7:44 am

Scarlet

The women of a certain age thing is probably the greatest gift of maturity, Do... friendship is a rocky road even in the best of circumstances... and you two have already been through a "feet to the fire" situation... best wishes.

7:44 am

Dorens

thanks. will keep you informed

7:45 am

Scarlet

Muchas gracias, NJ friend...

Scarlet

Politics! Bleah...

8:00 am

herinfernallady

8:00 am

Scarlet

8:00 am

redturtlehead

8:01 am

artlady

you all must love not just heat, but humidity!

8:01 am

redturtlehead

Well, it will be hot, but to be honest Dorens, its only in the 80-90's. Humidity is high.

8:01 am

redturtlehead

It's sort of tropical. I think you'll still enjoy it.

8:02 am

Dorens

8:06 am

herinfernallady

oh

8:07 am

herinfernallady

I need ot go to the docs and get my brain tweeked and i am wondering if there is a test to determine what anti depressants to use

8:07 am

Scarlet

It's more a question of what symptoms you have lady, and determining what medication will best suit your chemistry.

8:07 am

artlady

with my husband it's been trial and error, unfortunately.

8:08 am

herinfernallady

mmmfph i don't want trial and error

8:08 am

herinfernallady

pardon my random thoughts

8:08 am

Scarlet

I think it's that way with anyone who needs balance through chemistry, artlady.

8:09 am

artlady

He's an unusual case, I think. I know other people who've been very fortunate in finding the right meds easily.

8:09 am

carleekat

Eva is that you in the black red wench outfit?

Ursula Arens, a dietician, said that there was a difference between normal consumption of one or two litres a day, not just in the form of water, but also from coffee, tea, and juice, and constant, ritualistic consumption of water throughout the day.

"You shouldn't be drinking massively over and above what you feel with comfortable with, when you're not thirsty, in a mechanical way."

9:03 am

EvaNadine

i passed my physical with flying colors + the program is run my medical people...so hopefully they all know what theyre talking about!

You ladies are making me into the most unfaithful boyfriend. Ever.

Nancy Peticoat day

Haz1558

It's petticoats, Nancy.

herinfernallady

OH also Nancy if you love all things goth and shiny. Amazon have awesome stuff. Specially Demonia boots

9:14 am

Nancy Boy

Ohhh, I see. So there's all of you impeccably dressed, while I'm sitting here in a nightshirt, trying to wake up. You all look lovely :D

9:14 am

JBV

strange coincidence - I haven't worn or thought of petticoats in ages, but last night I had a dream that I was wearing a see-through blouse and was searching through my closet to find a slip to wear under it -

9:15 am

LynnNate08

la 8/50 please/

9:15 am

herinfernallady

I am in my pjs if that helps?

9:15 am

Nancy Boy

Shiny, Herin?
The more colours the better at the moment!
Having said that, I haven't worn my own clothes in three days.

9:15 am

herinfernallady

snicker Nancy. Shiny stuff all things i like

9:16 am

Nancy Boy

Glad to hear it, Herin! We can make a scene together, though I'm not sure if wearing a big shirt on loan from the love interest can quite qualify even as pyjamas...

9:16 am

Dorens

lynn it sounds a lot like an overhwelming victory in an election

oh heck i have just had random thought overload.

9:21 am

Nancy Boy

4 degrees, Herin? :O
I can't even imagine temperatures that cold atm. I spent the night absolutely roasting hot, thanks to the love interest being a snuggler. Every time I tried to wriggle towards some cool sheets, there was a possessive hand around my waist!

9:22 am

herinfernallady

Nice Nancy. Very sweet

9:22 am

herinfernallady

I wish we had more rain then i could deal with the cold

9:22 am

9:24 am

missbeeze

herin gm to you!

9:25 am

phaeton

I've never seen a 500 here!

9:25 am

Nancy Boy

Sweet at first, Herin. Unfortunately, he's stronger than me!
And if it's rain you want, then we got buckets to share.

9:25 am

missbeeze

there are tales of them phae!

9:25 am

missbeeze

Ata can attest!

9:25 am

herinfernallady

But its summer at your end

9:26 am

Nancy Boy

Summer it may be, but the weather has not fully caught on =/

9:26 am

herinfernallady

there was a 546

9:26 am

phaeton

Ahh! Tales...which gives you the choice to believe or disbelieve! :)

9:26 am

Atalante

we've had a few

9:27 am

phaeton

Herin...Did any one finish it?

9:27 am

Haz1558

ac7/32 - put Mr Gore on the end of the preceding ac5/12

9:27 am

missbeeze

true however i don't think Ata would tell a false tale of 500 word grids! i feel confident about this

9:27 am

LynnNate08

ty

9:28 am

herinfernallady

Um i don't think i did Phaeton

9:28 am

Atalante

lots did

9:28 am

Haz1558

Thousands.

9:28 am

Atalante

at least thousands

9:28 am

Atalante

even spangle finished

9:29 am

phaeton

I wouldn't have enough time to finish one that big...over 300 is a struggle

9:29 am

SeanS

missed your entrance! hi beeze!

9:29 am

Haz1558

Spangle laughed at the challenge.

9:29 am

herinfernallady

Woot i just found a dairy free "Vice Cream ' book at amazon. mmmm

9:29 am

EvaNadine

the thing with those huge grids is that there are usually tons of prefixes + suffixes, and LOTS of small words....
so once you find one word, youve really found like 15 becuse of all the possibilities...

9:29 am

missbeeze

hey Sean! you are in the grid today!

9:29 am

Atalante

she finished before her walk, even

9:29 am

could I have a clue for an7 please?

9:30 am

too bad i'm not a word :(

9:30 am

Haz1558

an7 - very very old

9:30 am

missbeeze

i know!

9:30 am

Atalante

as old as Haz even

9:30 am

flosey

thanks Haz

9:31 am

Haz1558

I'm even older than an7. 1558 tells its own story.

9:31 am

herinfernallady

Ata is that your dog blowing a raspberry to the camera?

9:31 am

SeanS

how far along, beeze?

9:31 am

LynnNate08

je 6/33 please?

9:31 am

JBV

question for the long-time babblers - has anyone ever tried to have babble grids archived so we can go back when we need more than a daily dose

9:32 am

Atalante

yep!

9:32 am

Uneaixoise

not to my knowledge

9:32 am

herinfernallady

JBV too much information to be stored thus no back listed

9:32 am

Uneaixoise

morning, all!

9:32 am

herinfernallady

Great pic Ata. Hi Une

9:32 am

EvaNadine

i want to say the idea had been brought up, but im not sure why it hasnt happened...

9:32 am

Haz1558

I've resisted that temptation, JBV, on the grounds that my husband might kill me. He has too many methods available not to be careful.

9:32 am

EvaNadine

maybe ask Dr God!

9:32 am

periwinkle

hello all

9:33 am

Uneaixoise

hey, peri :-)

9:33 am

SeanS

hi peri

9:33 am

Atalante

look what he threatened to do to spangle!

9:33 am

periwinkle

was thinking of mopping my kitchen floor, but changed my mind :-)

9:33 am

missbeeze

hey peri!

9:33 am

Haz1558

I know. The pair of us live in fear every day, Ata.

9:34 am

Atalante

you should escape to Panama

9:34 am

Haz1558

I'd have to commit fraud first.

9:34 am

nbjasmine

jbv- the puzzles are archived

9:35 am

nbjasmine

hello everyone

9:35 am

Atalante

you could go without committing fraud, then you would't get put into prisons when you come back in a canoe

9:35 am

Uneaixoise

really? where?

9:35 am

JBV

njb - where?

9:35 am

Haz1558

But who would want to go to Panama unless you had to?

9:35 am

Atalante

under the archives link above here

9:35 am

cybernan

good morning all :)

9:35 am

nbjasmine

click on archives right above your chatterbox

9:36 am

Nancy Boy

Ohoho, my company just stirred and he wants a cuppa and a kiss. Nice to see you all again! x

9:36 am

herinfernallady

You can do the puzzles on pen and paper but not in grid form like Iron SUdoku

9:36 am

JBV

I thought only chat logs were archived

9:36 am

Atalante

someone who liked ships?

9:36 am

EvaNadine

there are archives of the actual grids, but i dont think they are play-able

9:36 am

periwinkle

the old puzzles are archived but you cannot play them again

9:36 am

nbjasmine

it has the puzzles by day, year etc.

9:36 am

periwinkle

hi and bye Nancy Boy

9:36 am

nbjasmine

you can print them and do them yourself, tho

9:36 am

Haz1558

How long before they make a film out of the story, Ata?

9:36 am

periwinkle

Oh, never thought of that nbj

9:37 am

EvaNadine

its not like Iron Sudoku where if you miss a puzzle you can go back + complete it another day

9:37 am

missbeeze

crazy they were right there all along and not many knew! thats great info!

9:37 am

Atalante

ooo not long. it's an amazing story. did you see on the news his big mindmap plan thing showing how they were going to plan everything?

9:37 am

EvaNadine

if youre a person who cares about points/rankings, the babble archives arent much help.
but if you just like to play for fun or see the old grids, theyre quite useful. :)

9:37 am

nbjasmine

i like that aspect of it. if i miss it oh well....

9:38 am

harpjane

what story are you talking about?

9:38 am

Haz1558

No, I didn't. If the whole thing was so well planned, why did they let themselves be photographed?

9:39 am

Atalante

I don't think either were exactly masterminds ...

9:39 am

herinfernallady

Later Nancy don't be a stanger

9:39 am

Haz1558

harpjane - it's the story of the canoeist who went missing, presumed dead for five years. He turned up, claiming to have amnesia, but the police uncovered a fraud.

9:39 am

Atalante

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/749
6315.stm

9:39 am

missbeeze

where can we read of his story? that sounds interesting

9:40 am

missbeeze

oh - thanks Ata!

9:40 am

harpjane

yeah, sounds suspicious, doesn't it?

9:40 am

Haz1558

The man and his wife had been on the verge of bankruptcy - he was worth more dead than alive, so they pretended he was dead. Their sons believed he was dead and testified against them in court.

9:42 am

harpjane

so now he's alive and going to jail?

9:42 am

missbeeze

i cannot believe they deceived their sons? weirdo

9:42 am

Atalante

the Master Plan: http://www1.sky.com/news/Canoe.pdf

9:42 am

missbeeze

he had a trap door in his house - lol!

9:42 am

Haz1558

Yes - he admitted his part inthe fraud, she said she had been forced into it, but she was found guilty today. They are to be sentenced later.

9:43 am

herinfernallady

nigt

9:43 am

Atalante

6 years each

9:44 am

Haz1558

Oh - didn't realise they had been sentenced already.

9:44 am

Atalante

yep, just a bit ago

9:44 am

Haz1558

I feel slightly sorry for her, but only slightly. How could you do that to your family?

9:45 am

missbeeze

greed and desperation can drive humans to do weird things

9:45 am

Atalante

I don't. I feel more sorry for him having her as his wife!

9:45 am

Haz1558

I know, but to keep it going for so long.

9:46 am

Haz1558

Why so, Ata?

9:46 am

harpjane

I can't imagine being that isolated from the community, what would be the point of living?

9:46 am

missbeeze

i don't feel sorry either - they both did it - they made the choice

9:46 am

Atalante

she just seems ... much more calculated than him

9:46 am

BerniceQ

good morning all. i've been following this trial story. debt can make people do desperate things.

9:46 am

harpjane

was it her idea?

9:46 am

BerniceQ

i saw a documentary about credit card debt. people actually killed themselves over their debt.

9:47 am

Atalante

joint idea, apparently

9:47 am

SeanS

people kill themselves over the oddest things...

9:47 am

harpjane

credit card debt can be like usury--almost impossible to get out of

9:47 am

Haz1558

The papers will be free to publish all sorts of details now so we'll maybe get to the heart of it.

9:47 am

BerniceQ

right, and the debt collectors threaten you with horrible things

9:49 am

Haz1558

Well, they've got six years free bed and board to look forward to.

9:50 am

harpjane

je6?

9:50 am

EvaNadine

rnice -- i LOVE your kermit!

9:50 am

Atalante

she actually got 3 months longer than him. think she got 6 1/2 and he got 6 1/4

9:50 am

BerniceQ

thanks eva

9:50 am

EvaNadine

bernice* that was supposed to say...

9:50 am

Haz1558

She should have admitted her guilt.

9:51 am

cybernan

je 6: beginning of female donkey + what you catch butterflies with

9:51 am

Haz1558

9:52 am

FMitch

Afternoon all
What is the verdict on todays yellow and green maze?

9:52 am

redturtlehead

depends on which 99 you get harp!

9:52 am

Haz1558

Good afternoon, FMitch. It's okay (ish).

9:52 am

Atalante

9:52 am

harpjane

9:52 am

JBV

9:53 am

harpjane

the first half is fun mitch, dk about the rest yet

9:53 am

Haz1558

Yes, Panama and before that EvaN's pics.

9:53 am

redturtlehead

OOooh, I have been to Panama, and I loved it, its not expensive and has a fairly good infrastructure...

9:53 am

BerniceQ

9:53 am

SeanS

yeesh... i don't know if i'll have the stamina for this grid

9:53 am

FMitch

9:55 am

Haz1558

c, plus a number after ni4/4, a vowel, then the beginning of what Pepys wrote.

9:55 am

JBV

c + number after nine + not ego, but ** + two vowels, sorry that's the best I can do right now

9:56 am

BerniceQ

thanks helpful, thanks. looking...

9:56 am

Atalante

not really, but I knew Haz would do it better!

9:56 am

JBV

oops, I must be in the PB, then, too! sorry!

9:57 am

BerniceQ

lol, didn't even notice jbv

9:57 am

redturtlehead

Wow. Thanks all...

9:57 am

BerniceQ

every time someone types a grid word in the chat, an angel gets his wings

9:57 am

Haz1558

You see? We laugh at ct8 words.

9:57 am

BerniceQ

are there more ct words than that?

9:57 am

Haz1558

Somebody take Bernice's temperature.

9:58 am

Atalante

yes, at least 27

9:58 am

Haz1558

No, just one burst of ct laughter today.

9:58 am

BerniceQ

don't worry, it's a healthy 104

9:58 am

harpjane

de8?

9:58 am

redturtlehead

ATa, you are insa4...

9:58 am

redturtlehead

OK, must prepare an exciting lunch.

9:58 am

Atalante

luckily!

9:59 am

FMitch

Nothing new there then!

9:59 am

JBV

de 8 - if you were bent on killing gods, you would be a de****** maniac

9:59 am

Atalante

exactly

9:59 am

Haz1558

de8/55 - most often clued today as de, plus the ending given to describe one who wants to end their own life su******. (Mr Gore gets a look in)

10:00 am

BerniceQ

wow, that's a really good word.

10:00 am

Atalante

what a fab word

10:00 am

FMitch

JBV, I think you were asking about the archives earlier? I asked Dr_G a while ago and he said No cos it would be too much of a redesign and rebuild.

10:01 am

harpjane

thanks

10:01 am

periwinkle

clue for the ri8 please

10:01 am

JBV

ok, thanks, FMitch - I thought of it last week when I had to miss a few days (unplugged vacation at the shore) and would have like to catch up

10:01 am

GraceM

good ri8

10:01 am

Haz1558

ri8 - exclamation given when you're glad to see the back of something or someone.

10:02 am

periwinkle

great clue as always, thanks Haz

10:02 am

Haz1558

Some day, when our archivist gets to work, the chat log archives will be essential.

10:02 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, peri.

10:02 am

periwinkle

SharonRA

for some reason i'm not getting that de 8 killing yourself thing

10:03 am

SharonRA

10:03 am

FMitch

lol

10:03 am

SharonRA

kep't forgetting the first "I"

10:04 am

Haz1558

en8/50 - puts the almost frozen water ending to en6/21. It looks like en plus what you do to bread, minus sprite's favourite letter at the front.

10:04 am

Atalante

ooo didn't know you could stick that on that

10:04 am

SharonRA

good god

10:04 am

SharonRA

periwinkle

don't know sprite's favorite letter

10:05 am

cybernan

2nd ai 5/12?

10:06 am

Haz1558

en6 - en plus a misspelling of a necessity, what you might require. for en8 add two thirds of frozen water.

10:06 am

Haz1558

Her least favourite letter is K.

10:06 am

rururocks

wow you completely lost me haz

10:06 am

JBV

de 5/12 - take the oxygen out

10:06 am

hetty

10:06 am

Haz1558

Thank you hetty!

10:07 am

BerniceQ

thanks haz. i was working with the wrong EN 6/21

10:07 am

periwinkle

10:08 am

10:08 am

FMitch

Already I can see that lots of missing words will be due to missed endings, sigh.

10:08 am

Haz1558

Hello TO!

redturtlehead

oooh Victoria and Albert.

10:23 am

redturtlehead

10:23 am

Atalante

yep!

10:23 am

redturtlehead

I've read about it, never really been to London or really anything in the UK, except heathrow.

10:24 am

redturtlehead

Should be quite fun.

10:24 am

Atalante

its a fab museum, covers everything decorative, from pottery to costumes to everything really!

10:24 am

flosey

sounds interesting Ata

10:24 am

FMitch

Research Ata or just fun?

10:24 am

redturtlehead

For some reason I always hear aboutt he doll collection, and I am not that into dolls....

10:24 am

joshuavorbis

i've been to the v&a, very nice museum

10:24 am

joshuavorbis

i used to live 3 blocks from the museum of london

10:25 am

Atalante

both, really. I want to see their new Islamic rooms, but I'm also going to the Library there and looking at some pretty knotty books

10:25 am

redturtlehead

but now Joshua, you live in Raleigh?

10:25 am

joshuavorbis

that is correct

10:25 am

redturtlehead

My home base is Chapel Hill, though I suppose I am rarely there.

10:26 am

redturtlehead

I like the triangle.

10:26 am

kim m

yw

10:27 am

redturtlehead

I suppose. I am such a non go-outer, it never really bothered me.

10:27 am

redturtlehead

Of course i have not been home since April.

10:27 am

joshuavorbis

there are some nice things to do, but mainly it's just not quite as cool as significantly larger metropolitan areas

10:27 am

joshuavorbis

where have you been all this time?

10:28 am

redturtlehead

I'm a contracter, so currently I'm in Florida. nice and hot, but then again so is triangle now.

10:29 am

joshuavorbis

though i've been to some nice towns in florida, i can't say i'm a fan in general

10:30 am

redturtlehead

I actually love it, I thought I wouldn't but, I live in Clermont, and train at the National Training Center so there are significantly more young people...than most of Fl... it is a little ticky tacky.

10:31 am

joshuavorbis

where is clermont?

10:31 am

redturtlehead

near Orlando.

10:33 am

redturtlehead

We have hills, thats our claim to fame in Florida. Hills and Damu trains at the NTC, running the hurdles in Bejing.

10:33 am

joshuavorbis

the first 100 words are easy to find - took me about 15 minutes

10:33 am

joshuavorbis

nice - and as you know there are lots of olympians training in raleigh, though less these days after marion jones fell off her pedestal

10:33 am

katrynwise

morning... I couldn't hold back just had to chime in about Florida... that's where I'm from

10:34 am

redturtlehead

Hi Katryn!

10:34 am

SeanS

hello, back for a few more

10:34 am

katrynwise

hey red...

10:34 am

redturtlehead

Therre are several Olympians in Raliegh, I remember when that all went down....

10:34 am

katrynwise

you have hills???

10:35 am

katrynwise

I never had hills... beach but no hills - from Miami

10:35 am

Babs1

does an 7/32 build on the word before it?

10:35 am

redturtlehead

we have hills, actually...surprised me too....each day that i run they surprise me...

10:35 am

redturtlehead

no beach.

10:36 am

SeanS

you can almost get "gaydar" on this grid...

10:36 am

katrynwise

how far are you from the cost?

10:36 am

redturtlehead

i dont know babs....i have a seven...

10:37 am

redturtlehead

maybe an hour to tampa?

10:37 am

redturtlehead

close to cocia beach....

10:37 am

bleugirl2

10:37 am

redturtlehead

10:38 am

SeanS

10:40 am

bleugirl2

hey its in webster's

10:40 am

JBV

babs, an 7 is a synonym for very, very old, like greek ruins

10:40 am

SeanS

is it? that's surprising! well... maybe not. didn't they add w00t last year?

10:41 am

katrynwise

1 hour that's not bad.. and the gulf side is nice I was back and up near Apalachicola (St George Island) last year. (further north) Even with the heat, I miss it

10:41 am

Babs1

thanks, JBV, I'll work the brain cells!

10:43 am

missbeeze

i noticed that too Sean - lots of proper names :)

10:43 am

SeanS

sadie, nadine, candice...

10:43 am

JBV

katryn, haven't heard that word in years (Apalichicola) - my father used to love to say that (he was stationed near there during the 40s - and as someone who learned English as a second language, he loved to play around with words (maybe the nut did not fall far from that tree)

10:43 am

missbeeze

its the oyster capitol!

10:44 am

SeanS

scratch candice... add janice

10:44 am

katrynwise

my hubby & kids like 'em too... the kids especially like "ichetucknee" river - especially since they got to float it while we were there

10:45 am

SeanS

beeze, i think because i've been working 6 days a week, my brain has been shut off more than usual lately... i'm finding all these grids lately to be more difficult than usual... i need a vacation like you

10:46 am

missbeeze

there are a lot of names in this one - and i've tried everyone!

10:46 am

movieman

clues for the 8s plz

10:46 am

missbeeze

i couldn't work 6 days a week unless i had to of course! and i def need a vacation!

10:47 am

10:52 am

OrangeCat

hello everyone..how's the grid today

10:53 am

JBV

love those florida place names!

10:53 am

missbeeze

yes you do! i used to be licensed in TX for auto - i was an office manager for Allstate for 4 yrs - through college

10:53 am

VolleymomDee

what state are you in Sean? My hubby is an independent insurance rep in IN.

10:54 am

SeanS

ohio, volley

10:54 am

VolleymomDee

hi neighbor!

10:54 am

SeanS

that's what i do now, beeze :) got promoted a year ago

10:55 am

SeanS

indeed, volley. i drive through your state twice a year on the way to missouri too

10:56 am

SeanS

driving through indianapolis always takes forever!

10:56 am

puggysmalls

I also work in Insurance - Prop/Casualty for Non-Profit Commercial Lines

10:56 am

puggysmalls

In CA

10:57 am

missbeeze

do you work for Allstate?

10:57 am

VolleymomDee

we are in the northern part of state; in county with over 100 lakes; it's really beautiful here. That's no lie! We have family in Indy and live about 2 1/2 hours north of Indy. 69 and 465 can be awful.

10:57 am

SeanS

no, beeze. Nationwide

10:57 am

SeanS

we're always on 70, volley

10:57 am

VolleymomDee

hubby started with Farm Bureau; was there for about 16 or 17 years; then went to an independent agency.

10:57 am

missbeeze

oh - okay

10:58 am

SeanS

straight from columbus, right through indy

10:58 am

SeanS

yes, i'm in an independent agency as well. we sell mostly nationwide, but i don't really work for them

10:59 am

VolleymomDee

makes sense. Indy is a great place (other than the traffic); so much to do.

10:59 am

SeanS

100 lakes in one county?! you must get on the water a lot

11:00 am

SeanS

despite how many times i've traveled through indy, i've never really done anything there

11:02 am

VolleymomDee

we used to spend a good deal of time on the lakes; now live on the Tippecanoe River so enjoy seeing it, but not actually skiing, etc.

11:02 am

VolleymomDee

Sometime you'll have to schedule a stop in Indy; go to Murat Theatre; stay downtown; eat at one of the great restaurants.

11:03 am

SeanS

at least you have a lot more nature around you... that's something i would definitely like. i love the city, but sometimes i get tired of it

11:03 am

SeanS

sounds like a road trip to me, volley

11:04 am

VolleymomDee

I bet. Just this summer we have seen in our back yard: blue herons; an oppossum; a raccoon; a mama dear with two does; groundhog; lots of birds... we really do enjoy the wildlife

11:06 am

VolleymomDee

lol ... sounds like wild kingdom

11:06 am

SeanS

i've seen lots of bugs... and a few rabbits... the occasional squirrel... haha, not the most interesting wildlife here... oh, i did see a whole family of raccoons late one night

11:07 am

VolleymomDee

what part of Ohio? we have friends around Akron and in Cincinnati

11:07 am

phaeton

we had a porcupine amble through our yard

11:07 am

SeanS
