1:28 am

1:28 am

Pinikula

I don't know that I would do it every time...but, yes, that's how you get your new words over there. ;)

1:29 am

car.eeyore

No, I figure I will keep going, hit a lull, add new words, etc.

1:29 am

Pinikula

...and it's usually easier if you cut/paste the whole list...it will only add what you didn't have filled before...

VolleymomDee

I have come to love thin crispy crust with pineapple, little bit of ham or canadian bacon and barbecue sauce instead of tomato sauce

3:25 am

dcseain

i'm a fan of garlicky white sauces on pizza

3:26 am

VolleymomDee

I've never tried that, but my daughter loves chicken alfredo pizza w/ thin crust

nobody is useless at this game. We all find words. The silly notion you have to find all was not an original part of the game and has grown into ridiculous proportions. This game must be enjoyed!

no, not a re

4:41 am

lynxxx

good! I don't have to find another re8 in the set then

4:41 am

sprite

and I know to go look for one, lol

4:43 am

sprite

re's are never the easiest to find for me. Or, to be more precise, I can find them very easily. Lots of them. Most not known by enable though.

4:43 am

lynxxx

was it the ar one that I just found then?

4:44 am

sprite

that was the one!

4:47 am

sprite

one of the things about enable that I really don't like, is its partiality on 'the one doing it' words. I mean, the person putting in all the channels on my remote before I buy the darn thing, is.... right. And plural. But no way enable will let me have them.

4:49 am

an re & the dog Sp**** ? with a double tea it takes

Ahhh I had to take a nap. I am at 210 left. which I think means I essentially have one other grid to solve.

5:03 am

red, you pessimist! It means you already solved a full grid!

smilesoplenty

long way to go

6:04 am

Atalante

we just came across him/her tucked up on the beach not moving, looking round but not moving around, even when Hobbit went right up to it. So I wrapped it up in my scarf - it was really cold - and walked allll the way back along the beach with it and drove it to the vets. They *think* it is just shocked for some reason that they can't tell, and hope they'll be able to let it go back on the beach tomorrow, but they are keeping it overnight and x-raying it etc

6:04 am

FMitch

Lynxxx hello and felicitations ;)

6:04 am

smilesoplenty

6:04 am

8:38 am

sprite

*holds lady and sends her calming vibes*
Works the same for me, lady. We people with overactive tendrils just have to learn to cope.

8:39 am

herinfernallady

Thank you Sprite. I hugged the b.f so tight when he got home and told him I was so glad he was home safe as people are really really impatient at this time of year

8:39 am

sprite

they most certainly are. I wish I could stay in.

8:40 am

herinfernallady

I have to go shopping AGAIN tommorow

8:41 am

sprite

my love will do the shopping tomorrow, thank God. He would do it always if I wanted him to, but I often realise I would get outdoor phobia if I would let him. Sometimes when I get out of the house, the world seems so big and scary.

8:42 am

herinfernallady

OH bless him. Its ok Sprite this time of year is enough to make non agoraphobics into phobics.

8:43 am

Sally-catlover

Hi everyone. Been popping in and out, doing the odd 100 words here and there :-)

8:43 am

herinfernallady

HI Sally

8:43 am

sprite

my kids saved my ass today. I almost flipped in the mall and they told me to get back to the car and wait for them there. Pathetic mum am I, huh.

8:43 am

sprite

hi Sally, it is fun isn't it :)

8:44 am

herinfernallady

I can't see straight there is so many letters I dispissed

8:44 am

Sally-catlover

Actually, yes. My first thought was, "on no!". But when you have one, you get on a roll.

8:44 am

herinfernallady

SPrite THAT is not PATHETIC. Your kids are friggen great. You tried you really did try for that HUGE cookie points

8:44 am

sprite

yes it is that kind of grid. One word brings on a series. Kind of rewarding and fun :)

8:44 am

herinfernallady

Pathetic is not trying. I HATE going out there this time of year. Everyone is rude and impatient

8:45 am

Sally-catlover

People get so STRESSED over Christmas.

8:45 am

Sally-catlover

And nice words too sp----

8:45 am

sprite

well I always try. Guess I'll have another cookie then :) And thanks lady.

8:45 am

herinfernallady

8:46 am

sprite

they do, Sally. I just saw someone pushing 2 shopping carts through the store, both loaded to bulging at the seams.

8:46 am

herinfernallady

Sally I don't care about the cost of gifts. I gave my b.fs Grandma home made shortbread and lemon butter. I am going to give home made mini puddings dipped in chocolate and shortbread to 2 other friends

EvaNadine

chookie, sprite. CHOOKIE.

8:47 am

sprite

I earned another chookie even??? EvaN, you're the best!

8:47 am

herinfernallady

Do you know what Grandma (a woman of 80ish) did with said shortbread

8:47 am

Sally-catlover

We stopped doing the big Christmas some years ago - and the relief! We don't buy each other presents, we have a nice meal, light the log fire and watch DVDs. It's wonderful.

8:47 am

sprite

home made shortbread, man, you can give that to me anytime. Much better than bought and expensive presents.

8:47 am

Sally-catlover

No herin.

8:48 am

sprite

she protected it from Granddad?

8:48 am

Sally-catlover

lol

8:48 am

herinfernallady

Grandma actually teased her husband and her sister. She held one out and said '' Here do you want it'' then ate it

8:48 am

harpjane

8:48 am

Sally-catlover

rofl!

8:49 am

sprite

Sally, that sounds wonderful. We do kind of the same thing. No presents is quite common in Holland, because we have Sinterklaas. But a light meal, yes, and some peace and quiet and cosiness.

8:49 am

10:05 am

Anniebrook

10:05 am

Babs1

10:06 am

herinfernallady

I thought that there was a list of Symptoms with M other than a head ache

10:07 am

redturtlehead

SOme wierd stuff can happen herin. i met a patient who was paralyzed after getting hit on the back of the neck with, of all things, a stuffed animal.

grannyrose

yes annie, and babs who knows! i really am not at liberty to make that call, all i can say, is, please be very careful .

10:07 am

10:40 am

herinfernallady

Eva I have to be at the bus stop at the time it leaves the actually station first point. I am the second stop, about 10 min away and the darn bus always turns up late

10:40 am

herinfernallady

Up early not late sorry

10:40 am

itson its true!!!! I was surprised.

10:41 am

herinfernallady

HI its

10:41 am

EvaNadine

i think the bus has been early this week because people have taken off for christmas -- fewer people = fewer stops = faster route!

10:41 am

herinfernallady

but isn't there time points?

10:41 am

itsonme

hey red & herin!

10:42 am

EvaNadine

there are for the main stations, but between stations, they just stop whenever someone needs on or off...the the estimates they give for the stops are just that -- estimates

10:42 am

EvaNadine

usually theyre there about the same time every day...

10:43 am

hurshy

things people don't mention when they encourage everyone to switch to public transportation

10:43 am

herinfernallady

10:44 am

itsonme

MonkeyGames

Hey for now folks! Walter is in bed so here i am. He has informed Adnny what wegot him... well, what I got him... in our shopping today. He told him we got a book, so there went that, then he told him later that we went into his office to see which books he already has there, which means now he knows it is about, by, or concerning Frank Zappa. Sigh. But he will NEVER guess what Walter got him! Even though he is FREAKISHLY UNCANNY at knowing what is in those boxes.

12:30 pm

torgone

I'd never finish this one ..

12:30 pm

caitlyn

No I just like the excitment
Hi MG

12:31 pm

dc the pond heater thing crapped out. Totally frozen

12:31 pm

dcseain

it's not as bad as the size would idicate, torgone

12:31 pm

phaeton

BR missclued that part

12:31 pm

MonkeyGames

Once I got him a screw together cane and packed it in three boxes, and he said I got him a pointed tsick and seemed quite bewildered by this... another year it was a swiss army knife in an enormous box with rocks and he said he thought it was an oblong thing with projections.

12:31 pm

dcseain

oh, bummer! Koi pond?

12:32 pm

Trifioso

car, can you call my house and tell me what happens when you do?

12:32 pm

Trifioso

please?

12:32 pm

MonkeyGames

Yeah, the first 240 words are a breeze!

12:32 pm

redturtlehead

Nice. We used to all sit round the tree and eat these horrific ice cream concoctions called "snowballs" coconut and vanilla with candles in the middle. Now my Mum cant find them they were so bad.

12:32 pm

MonkeyGames

Bummer Trif!

12:32 pm

car.eeyore

you know, Trif, we COULD put the chickens in Mom's sun porch if it gets desperate. The whole thing can be hosed down.

12:32 pm

dcseain

i found the 1st 290 a breeze, but yess, maybe 300 are really easy

12:32 pm

phaeton

i'm missing 11 of those breezy words MG

12:33 pm

bubba218

alot of words today, but finished

12:33 pm

HarryHood

woo 73 to go...gotta go do carpool

12:33 pm

dcseain

well done, bubba!

12:33 pm

Trifioso

yes, dc. A BIG one. they are all going to die, unless I can keep a hole in the ice. ata, or someone, gave me a good tip about putting a log in to keep at least some air moving, but right now there is about 3 inches of ice on the pond, and then a foot of snow....damn

12:33 pm

MonkeyGames

I cannot wait to hear his guesses about what Walter goit though... It's a black rubber ducky, a smaller one on a keychain, a set of black plastic wings on a magnet, and a pen that is also a telescoping back scratcher. I will be going back to this store.

12:33 pm

phaeton

WTG Bubba!!!!

12:33 pm

caitlyn

Congrats bubba!!

12:33 pm

MonkeyGames

Yay Bubba!

12:33 pm

Trif, it goes straight into your funky digital message.

12:33 pm

Trifioso

damn. thanks, car

12:33 pm

MonkeyGames

OK, the first 229 are a breeze, so I rounded it out...

12:34 pm

Trifioso

i am seriously rethinking getting a cat now. How can we afford it? and maybe one, but not two, now

12:34 pm

caitlyn

Tri if you can get a break in the ice we always used to use a tennis ball to keep a hole in there

12:34 pm

car.eeyore

OK, I have got to go fluff for work, then do my errand, then pick up Trifioso's daughter! I will see some of you around midnight EST!

12:34 pm

dcseain

you stupid little tw5.20! go away!

12:35 pm

redturtlehead

cats trif, tend to be pretty cheap to maintain.

12:35 pm

phaeton

bye car.ee!!

12:35 pm

dcseain

be well, car!

12:35 pm

redturtlehead

dogs on the other hand....seem to always be costing.

12:35 pm

car.eeyore

Food wise, but it depends on what medical has been done by the time you get them.

12:35 pm

Trifioso

thanks caitlyn. the pond is about 4500 gallons, so I think a bowling ball might be more in order...or one of those workout balls

12:35 pm

dcseain

yes, i have 3 cats, and they are not terribly expensive

12:35 pm

caitlyn

Bye car,,,,If I dont see you before Merry Christmas

12:35 pm

MonkeyGames

I gave up on the tw's. I have the babblet and the obvious two.

12:35 pm

car.eeyore

But generally I agree Red. They can usually eat whatever humans are having!

12:35 pm

phaeton

thanks DC

12:36 pm

caitlyn

LOL Tri I didnt realise sorry

12:36 pm

redturtlehead

Even medically, I seem to have spent less on the cats than my dogs.

12:36 pm

car.eeyore

Trif...may I suggest floating R's severed head in the pond to keep it from freezing? or how about a tire from the Sebring?

12:36 pm

Trifioso

it's just that they are kittens - shot, spaying, etc.

12:36 pm

redturtlehead

of course if they are indoors then there is all that litter box issues.

12:36 pm

MonkeyGames

Very much so. But it does look like we will have to have the cat's lump removed... but that still won't catapult her into dog expense ranges.

12:37 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh yes, there is that, Trif. The humane society should be able to help with the spaying...

12:37 pm

Trifioso

i think i will keep them indoors, red. I have fed enough coyotes, thanks

12:37 pm

car.eeyore

No, I agree. Cats are generally cheaper.

12:37 pm

redturtlehead

yuck!

12:37 pm

dcseain

indoor cats live longer and stay healthier, so that's a good plan

12:37 pm

car.eeyore

Are the kittens the same sex?

12:37 pm

dcseain

rabbits also are reasonably cheap.

12:38 pm

car.eeyore

Trif, I will talk to Suzi as well.

12:38 pm

Trifioso

i think so. we were going to name the other one guiness, as it is black and tan. How cute is that?

12:38 pm

caitlyn

seain are you ready for the big day?

12:38 pm

Trifioso

we have a rabbit, thanks.

12:38 pm

MonkeyGames

That IS cute!

12:38 pm

car.eeyore

Too cute! What is the name of the first one?

12:38 pm

redturtlehead

It is true DC they are much safer Seain. My moms are outdoors and one has gone the way of the truck, but the others have done well so far, one is 17.

12:38 pm

redturtlehead

oooph bad grammer!

12:39 pm

Trifioso

oooh - car! tertiare just appeared with a hairbrush, demanding I get her "ready" as "auntie doesn't like messy hair" - WIN

12:39 pm

dcseain

caitlyn, i work tomorrow and xmas. so yes, ready

12:39 pm

MonkeyGames

My cat can go out but she is extremely traffic savvy and overly cautious.

12:39 pm

car.eeyore

HOOORAY! It is a CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!!!

12:39 pm

car.eeyore

Ok, I better get moving then!

12:39 pm

MonkeyGames

Well if you're going pedantic on yourself might I point out it is grammAr...

12:39 pm

caitlyn

Oh do you mind working seain?

12:40 pm

caitlyn

Congrats car?

12:40 pm

car.eeyore

MonkeyGames

Danny works nearly all holidays because he doesn't have to do so which means he gets time and a half and an extra paid vacation day every time. The company is closed on Christmas but open on Boixing Day which is a major holiday here. But this year he's taken boxing day off so as to have a 4 day weekend home with us. CAnnot say I disapproive!

12:44 pm

Fooey70

hi phae

12:44 pm

caitlyn

Will you have a chance to relax over the break though seain?

12:45 pm

Trifioso

seain, what do you do for work? forgive me if you already said....

12:45 pm

caitlyn

It will be nice for him and you to have that extra time together MG

12:46 pm

Fooey70

hi trifioso

12:46 pm

bichon

Why is it the entire English speaking world celebrates Boxing Day except us. No fair. I want another holiday

12:47 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes, he and Walter don't get neatrly enough time together. I miss him days as well, but we have been married for almost 16 years and for teh first 12 or so were nearly always in the same place at the same time so I can live with it. But Walter is growing SO fast!

12:47 pm

Trifioso

hi foeey

12:47 pm

Fooey70

hi

12:47 pm

dcseain

flo, i work for CBP (US Customs) on their ACE Helpdesk, through the end of the year. I support the trucking industry, brokers and importers in filing manifets.

12:47 pm

dcseain

hell, fooey

12:47 pm

Fooey70

hi

12:48 pm

dcseain

In Jan, i'll still be with CBP, but on their Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative Helpdesk, supporting travelles in the New World.

12:48 pm

caitlyn

bichon I think you should say that you are European and that Boxing day is your holiday!

12:48 pm

Trifioso

lol bichon= I us4 to work for a company with offices all over the world, and we would get these memos that said "the milan office will be closed for August...." and others like it from the other european offices, and we would get so grumbly...you europeans really have that figured OUT

12:48 pm

MonkeyGames

Walter asked me today what is behind the sky. Danny wishes he was around more during the day so HE can get asked this kind of thing.

12:48 pm

Trifioso

monkey! monkey! get him the golden compass books - they talk about that very thing!

12:49 pm

dcseain

ooh, great suggestion, triflo!

12:49 pm

Trifioso

wow, dc, that is a very impressive, important job!

12:49 pm

caitlyn

But the other side of the coin is that when you have to tell Walter off his daddy is the best thing ever LOL

12:49 pm

MonkeyGames

He's 4! But Danny got them for me, a nice boxed set, last year, so they're here when he's old enough. I just explained that that is where outer space is. We discuss cosmology a lot.

12:49 pm

flagg6805

the reason we don't celebrate boxing day is because it's not a holiday here.

12:50 pm

Fooey70

hold on hi AMYZ

12:50 pm

Fooey70

she not in the chatt romm but she might answer

12:50 pm

Trifioso

i loved reading aloud to my kids, and wish they were still into it. primo was my longest hold out - i think we read together til he was in 7th grade! neither of the girls made it that far....

12:50 pm

caitlyn

Do you have to work as normal then flagg?

12:50 pm

bichon

I miss the days when my little kids would ask impossible question. The grands are yet too young for that.

12:50 pm

MonkeyGames

Hee hee, Cait! Yeah, I do catch myself now and then saying, "Oh, Daddy would NOT like THAT!"

12:51 pm

Fooey70

12:51 pm

yes. you know your kids are getting older when they start asking you questions that have answers

12:51 pm

MonkeyGames

this is a great age. He is discovering so much! And hypothesizing!

12:51 pm

rururocks

12:51 pm

Trifioso

my favorite kid question ever was "what if the devil repented?" still pondering answers to that one....

12:52 pm

MonkeyGames

He can also spell his own name with letter blocks or aloud.

12:52 pm

phaeton

ruru...you mean the road you live on?

12:52 pm

Thats great MG he will be playing babble soon LOL

12:53 pm

phaeton

there have been some finishers...not me :(

12:53 pm

MonkeyGames

Hmmm. I claim no real knowledge of scripture but as far as I know he is down there for placing God above Man.... Repenting would oprobably start some sort of Golden Age. It's not like it'd erase sin, what with free will and all, so I guess Hell would still be there... Good question, actually.

12:53 pm

Trifioso

i think nononanette finished, fooey

12:53 pm

rururocks

12:57 pm

redturtlehead

a momentus moment has occurred....

12:57 pm

rosalie4

276 here

12:58 pm

redturtlehead

My Mother has successfully placed a call to me on her cell phone.

12:58 pm

Trifioso

gasp - red - what?

12:58 pm

MonkeyGames

Trif, that will complement the rSI niocely. Always looking for a balance...

12:58 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes, do tell!

12:58 pm

Trifioso

the WHAT monkey?

12:58 pm

dcseain

oh, how wonderful, red! :D

12:58 pm

MonkeyGames

Aha! I take it this is a hard-acquired skill...

12:59 pm

bichon

Red, my mother struggled with that too. She can finally call me, but only by keying in the number manually, not going to the address book

12:59 pm

redturtlehead

My Mother used her phone. mostly to tell me that she is stuck on the NJ interstate with Dad, but still, its nice to know she has it.

12:59 pm

Trifioso

next week, hell freezes over!

12:59 pm

dcseain

eh, she can call, bichon

12:59 pm

MonkeyGames

Repetetive Strain Injury, Trif. From my illegal days working manual labor.

12:59 pm

redturtlehead

thing is Bichon, my mom is about 3 years older than you...

12:59 pm

Trifioso

oh, okay...duh me...

1:00 pm

bichon

Rotfl red.

1:00 pm

redturtlehead

My parents live so rurally I have been bugging them to get one in case of accideent in the woods, but my Dad is a luddite.

1:00 pm

Trifioso

my mother is the same way - and she is a doctor! I am always getting so frustrated with her reluctance to try new things. For gawd's sake, she can take out an APPENDIX - how hard can a cell phone BE????

1:00 pm

redturtlehead

Trif, I am surprised she doesnt have to have one.

1:00 pm

MonkeyGames

My grandfather has a higher IQ than almost anyone I have ever met... and could not for the life of him ever get the hang of programming a VCR. Odd how these things happen.

1:01 pm

bichon

My Mom satill calls me every time she needs to go to the bank and access her account. She can never find her check book or the account #.

1:01 pm

caitlyn

LOL Tri!!

1:01 pm

Trifioso

lol monkey. I have a friend with a dad like that. total, total genius, could not do the simplest things.

1:01 pm

redturtlehead

I am grateful my mother does notdo that. I am blissfully unaware of their finances.

1:01 pm

dcseain

vcr requires some mechanical skill, or at least intuition, which many do not have

1:01 pm

bichon

Don't get me started on the VCR. We set everything so she would only have to do the minimum, but she still can't do it.

1:02 pm

redturtlehead

My Dad is a very intelligent man as ell, sent his first email this year. If he ever learns to on lin eshop though we are all in trouble. He is a spenthrift.

1:02 pm

MonkeyGames

We are talking someone who went half a tone deaf in his 60's from having had rheumatic fever as a child... and tuned his guitar accurately anyway by taking that into account...

1:02 pm

Trifioso

oh, gawd, someday our kids are gonna talk this way about us...."honestly, I have explained the teleporter 1,000 times, and she STILL can't do it..."

1:02 pm

redturtlehead

I cant type!

1:02 pm

bichon

I had to take over all her finances, otherwise no bill would ever be paid. We convinced her to move to Assisted Living. Turned out to be very wise.

1:02 pm

MonkeyGames

True, DC. But his intuiotion and mechanical skills are exemplary. Go figure.

1:02 pm

MonkeyGames

I can't either, Red.

1:03 pm

redturtlehead

My Mom ants to move,bichon, but my Dad has a small love affair with trees on the property.

1:03 pm

MonkeyGames

I know, Trif.

1:03 pm

redturtlehead

those vcr's are not intuitive. I cant program one!

1:03 pm

MonkeyGames

They'll be saying, Jeez, Mom, just add the quadrofactant BEFORE the stimulator and dinner will be ready in NO time!

1:03 pm

Trifioso

please, i am bummed they don't offer assisted living for 40 year olds....I can be packed and ready to go in ten minutes

1:03 pm

redturtlehead

never owned one. and still have no dvd player.

1:03 pm

caitlyn

Thats is so true Tri, now I am feeling my age, there are a lot of things on this computer that I havent a clue about

1:04 pm

dcseain

i wonder if the elderly have trouble with the small print and/or symbology on electronics.

1:04 pm

MonkeyGames

Aww, just move here, we can age gracefully together.

1:04 pm

dcseain

they make large-print universal remotes.

1:04 pm

MonkeyGames

I'll be 40next month.

1:04 pm

bichon

I had to pry her out of her condo in FL and then did the moving for her. I went through all of her papers and found thousands of dollars worth of uncashed checks.

1:04 pm

Judi

Afternoon, kids. Trif, you are cracking me up.

1:05 pm

I made my Dad use my cell once, and the entire time he kept telling his friend "I'm on a cell phone" I think his pal as bemused.

1:06 pm

dcseain

i have ts6, any other TS words?

1:06 pm

bichon

The checks were from the IRS, a benevolent society, insurance, stock broker. The list went on. She doesn't have Alzheimers, she just lacks the motivation to take care of things.

1:06 pm

dcseain

my mom is getting that way , bichon

1:06 pm

bichon

no dc, that's it

1:06 pm

My Grandmother had Alzeheimers. My Mom as at a loss as to whether to cash them or what.

1:07 pm

bichon

Sh's almost 85 and my father always took care of everything. Then he got ill, died and Mom never knew how.

1:07 pm

jean1953

Good evening everyone, just came in to wish everyone a very Happy Christmas, as time is short and may not get the chance tommorow:)

1:07 pm

Judi

Dang! I'd have my nosed pressed against the window of the bank waiting for the doors to open so I could cash them.

1:07 pm

bichon

I got all the check reissued and deposited them.

1:08 pm

dcseain

ty, jean, and a happy xmas to you and yours, too!

1:08 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Jean! Happy Holidays, Happy Holidays...may the merry bells keep ringing...

1:08 pm

Judi

Most of them were probably too old to cash anyway, Bichon. I supposed re-issues could have been requested.

1:08 pm

lynxxx

Hi Jean, all the best for you and all your family too

1:08 pm

bichon

I had to pretend I was her when I called. It was simple. All I needed was her SSN and date of birth

1:08 pm

redturtlehead

Well, Judi I think because my Grandma was not living my Mom felt like she as alright ithout that.

1:08 pm

Judi

Snap!

1:08 pm

dcseain

the cheques could have been reissued to the estat then.

1:09 pm

jean1953

right gotta dash, once again Have fun everyone byeee :)

1:09 pm

Judi

Other than that, your intentions were honorable, Bichon.

1:09 pm

caitlyn

Time for me to go.........If I dont see any of you tomorrow I would like to wish you all and your families a very Merry Christmas (or holidays)

1:09 pm

dcseain

until later, caitlyn, and happy xmas to you, too

1:10 pm

redturtlehead

Yes they may have been. The estate as errr, a bit big, and there became some bickering

1:10 pm

lynxxx

Bye Caitlyn, have a peaceful Xmas

1:10 pm

redturtlehead

Sooo, my Mom decided to duck out of it and let the brothers claw each other.

1:10 pm

bichon

I made no profit. Going through all the papers [and I must add the papers were mixed in with volumes of store circulars and cash register receipts] were treasures like my Grandfather's births certificate from the old country

1:10 pm

dcseain

i see, red, that makes sense then.

1:10 pm

lynxxx

BBL

1:11 pm

redturtlehead

Oh the best thing she got was a huge Box of old Photos. She has been scanning and sending out to all of us via email, they are such treasures.

1:11 pm

dcseain

in Mom's house is her maternal great-grandparent's wedding cert from Bratislava, Austria-Hungary and their wedding photos, and his eyeglasses.

1:11 pm

dcseain

yes, cleaning out grandpa's we found hundreds and hundreds of photos, and grandma's recipes :)

1:12 pm

smilesoplenty

hey, I'm back

1:12 pm

redturtlehead

My Mom sends the photos out at odd intervals,it has helped heal up the ugly brothers squabbles, so e cousins have something to do.

1:12 pm

bichon

I scanned a lot of the documents as they were in very bad shape. There were my grandparents citizenship certificates. That meant so much to me. I also discovered from my g'father's birth certificate that he was considered illegitimate by the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

1:13 pm

dcseain

nifty, bichon

1:13 pm

redturtlehead

Hi SMiles!

1:13 pm

1:18 pm

dcseain

indeed, babrab. I know my mom has finances and what in order. I'm hoping she'll finally let me help her clear out the crap in the house she does not need. It would be nice to see the dining room again. Sih.

1:18 pm

dcseain

sigh

1:19 pm

that is taking mass transit, two of the middle consonant is 'kissed'

3:29 pm

HarryHood

my mistake dc :)

3:29 pm

icepyro

speaking of roll, I think it's about lunch time

3:29 pm

Pinikula

You have to get a pro account miley

3:30 pm

HarryHood

but a clue "kissed" would not have been very useful

3:30 pm

dcseain

common mistake, and a difference that is blurring. losing battle on my part, really.

She got a call while she was on and told me she had to go quickly. She asked me to let everyone know. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

Sophie broke my digital camera, which I can't replace, the electricty went out in the chicken house, our phones went out in the house, and when the comcast guy came he left his tool box here, so now he has to come back, and the smoke detector in the playroom is chirping bec it needs the battery changed, but, as it is in the ceiling 18 feet above my head, I am not sure how that is going to occur. and, then, my cell phone died, R took the kids for dinner and gave them too much soda. Also, this grid has 405 words.

I can't MAKE anyone do anything bernice -- but I will tell you that you do show up on google in about 397 places, and even when feather takes the specific reference down (which if you really did post it to the babble chat log it will still be "out there") the information will persist on google.

10:05 pm

Angelsong

and the succeding 7 and 8 are similar

10:06 pm

jmcnrick

I wait with baited breath crossy

10:06 pm

BerniceQ

i wouldn't ask you to MAKE her do it, simply to ask her to do it or let me know how i can contact her to ask her to. i show up many places, yes, but not with a reference to my real name.

10:06 pm

stidmama

I will send feather a quick note. I am sure she didn't think it bad, given that you had already posted it to a public forum.

10:06 pm
