12:33 am

jillibus

hi dee hi

12:33 am

westford

hi dee

12:33 am

stidmama

oh no jill -- it would cost nearly as much to fix it as get a new (small) car.

12:34 am

stidmama

cars and people/animals that bleed that much should be allowed to go peacefully.

12:34 am

rururocks

wow found a to 7

12:34 am

jillibus

well, let's hope you can get your dear little Fit soon!

12:34 am

12:34 am

dart001

he 8

12:35 am

angelinaxox

finally found the he 8, and down to 45 left good night all

12:35 am

jillibus

awww, stid, poor sentra!

12:35 am

rururocks

no not yet

12:35 am

stidmama

no -- Fit is out of price range. Looking at a Hyundai that both the stidkid and his tuba can ride in. In two or three years will upgrade to a bigger, nicer car

12:35 am

MLFAN17

does the HE 8 go with another HE word?

12:35 am

jillibus

wtg angelina!

12:35 am

12:36 am

MLFAN17

Hyundai's are really good cars stid

12:36 am

angelinaxox

bye west

12:36 am

stidmama

sweet dreams angelina! ((hugs))

12:36 am

westford

our son and dil both have them they are quite happy

12:36 am

angelinaxox

tx stid, tc u2

12:37 am

stidmama

I think it will work for us -- we need an economical commuter car for Tom that can carry a 6-foot teenager and his tuba. *sigh* none of the toyotas we looked at met those requirements!

12:37 am

MLFAN17

the Sonata is the bigger car but not SUV or anything the elantra si really good too

12:37 am

jillibus

We had a Hyundai about 20 yrs ago -- good little car and they're better now

12:37 am

jillibus

ours was a small hatchback -- can't remember the name

12:38 am

MLFAN17

jill yes better cars now as people have been getting to know them more in the past 5 yrs or so then 20 yrs ago

12:38 am

stidmama

elantra is still out of our price range. We are looking at the accent -- small, no frills -- manual transmission (which we prefer) -- and there is one locally in blue... LOL

12:38 am

rururocks

I think you can get a hyundai with three cracker jack box tops

12:38 am

stidmama

LOL ruru -- why the animosity?

12:38 am

MLFAN17

accent is mid size i think?

12:38 am

MLFAN17

blue would be nice in that car!

12:38 am

rururocks

I had a friends whose car was constantly broken down

12:39 am

stidmama

accent is two-doors.

12:39 am

stidmama

yes, but there is a good warranty and it can hardly break down worse than my poor sentra.

12:39 am

jillibus

get a second-hand Fit

12:39 am

rururocks

not seeing the he 8 compound or not

12:39 am

MLFAN17

ruru me either

12:39 am

rururocks

toyotas are much better cars

12:40 am

PAV3

find a newer PT Cruiser...they should be around for cheap..now...and yes, I drove one and am sold on Chryslers for life (until Toyotas become less expensive)

12:40 am

rururocks

found it

12:40 am

MLFAN17

mazda millenia is a great car too

12:40 am

stidmama

We didn't like the finish work on the toyotas, which is strange because Tom's family are long-time loyal toyota people. But the cars that were almost affordable univerally were either not going to fit a tuba and/or felt so flimsy.

12:40 am

jillibus

Stid check Consumer Reports Used Cars

12:41 am

flosey

got the 8

12:41 am

stidmama

the hondas felt more solid, but were out of the price range and not as easy to get hte tuba in.

12:41 am

stidmama

hello flosey!

12:41 am

jillibus

Toyotas are NOT flimsy!

12:41 am

rururocks

(can stid kid play trumpet and get a sportier car?)

12:41 am

stidmama

won't get a used car, jill -- need a good warranty

12:41 am

MLFAN17

stid would the Cube be big enough?

12:41 am

stidmama

maybe the more expensive ones are not flimsy, jill -- but the ones in our price range were NOT acceptable.

12:42 am

jillibus

PT Cruiser is not reliable according to CR

12:42 am

Kazozz

can u say U G L Y

12:42 am

stidmama

LOL ruru! we were thinking triangle...

12:42 am

rururocks

lol

12:42 am

MLFAN17

Kaz ugly what?

12:42 am

rururocks

that way he could also call everyone to dinner too

12:42 am

jillibus

My Corolla is not flimsy and not top of the line

12:43 am

stidmama

PT Cruiser has ROTTEN gas mileage. We need close to 40 (or above) and only the Accent meets that requirement in our price range

12:43 am

rururocks

I agree kaz.. really ugly cars..

12:43 am

rururocks

I get 17 miles per gallon.. ughh

12:43 am

MLFAN17

which car is ugly?

12:43 am

stidmama

corolla is out of our price range -- as is the Fit, remember? *grin* we are poorer than church mice at the moment. where is robin hood when you need him?

12:43 am

Kazozz

cube is MLF

12:43 am

PAV3

and the Packard Bell computers were the worst...except mine evidently..had it four years and not one problem..I lvoed my PT..it just wasn't big enough for both poopies and their stuff on the road to ALbuq...of course had waited two years to trade up I wouldn't need my Pacifica now would I...

12:43 am

rbud

passes the hat for stid ;)

12:44 am

stidmama

We don't care about looks, but about function (and price)

12:44 am

MLFAN17

Kaz i love it but then again i am weird its cool looking

12:44 am

jillibus

stid, I'm sure you and Tom have done all the required homewrok and will make the right decision for your needs

12:44 am

VolleymomDee

no 6 if not called

12:44 am

stidmama

looks can come into play later, when I have a job, instead of bleeding funds into the higher education system

12:44 am

Kazozz

i'm not a fan of toaster cars MLF lol

12:44 am

MLFAN17

stid i assume even a small HHR isnt in your price range either?

12:44 am

12:45 am

PAV3

jilli...Chevy's answer to the PT

12:45 am

stidmama

VolleymomDee

ta 7 x 2

12:49 am

dart001

well not as young as I'd like to be

12:49 am

jillibus

subarus are popular here cuz of all-wheel drive on the hills if there's snow uncleared

12:49 am

MLFAN17

fix

12:49 am

rururocks

and how old is that?

12:49 am

stidmama

we looked at the scions too -- again there is a combination size and price difficulty

12:49 am

VolleymomDee

ta 7 x 3

12:50 am

Kazozz

stid did u consider a toyota, like the camry?

12:50 am

MLFAN17

stid size as in length or height?

12:50 am

jillibus

my son has had saturns for years and is happy with them

12:50 am

stidmama

not as old as you or BR, ruru. I estimate Dart to be Devonian at the oldest...

12:50 am

rururocks

lots of lesbians drive subarus around here.. it is their prefered car of choice

12:50 am

dart001

be hitting the 50 mark in less than 3 mos.

12:50 am

stidmama

12:50 am

rururocks

wow.. what an old fart...

12:50 am

jillibus

what on earth has that got to do with cars?

12:50 am

dart001

lol

12:50 am

rururocks

or old dart as the case may be..lol

12:50 am

joshuavorbis

i'm hitting the 30 mark in less than 3 mos

12:51 am

stidmama

really dart? wow... I thought you were a whippersnapper! *reaches for cane to get up*

12:51 am

MLFAN17

too bad stid

12:51 am

Kazozz

ruru, i just spat my tea all over the place!!

12:51 am

MLFAN17

what about an Astro van

12:51 am

rururocks

? how come?

12:51 am

stidmama

so dart doesn't drive a dart. *considering the implications*

12:51 am

Mango Mountain

go7

12:51 am

stidmama

go Mango go!

12:51 am

dart001

we had one when i was a kid

12:51 am

MLFAN17

12:51 am

rururocks

12:51 am

MLFAN17

udrf/

12:52 am

westford

stid our son has a Hyundai Sonata standard shift nice car lots of room and the trunk is big enough for the tuba and stidkid

12:52 am

jillibus

kaz, scroll back -- they don't like Toyotas and the Camry is out of the price range

12:52 am

VolleymomDee

ga 6 / ga 7

12:52 am

stidmama

we have a minivan -- it's great for room, awful for mileage. Remember, we are in a rural area. No trip ever takes less than a gallon. Every day I drive costs me around ten dollars at current prices.

12:52 am

Bugsaw

ruru I drove a Saturn for over 15 years and in NO WAY did I ever imagine people would be thinking I was single by choice!

12:52 am

Kazozz

ahh ok

12:52 am

rururocks

are you a sept baby dart?

12:52 am

circe

please don't put stidkid in trunk

12:52 am

jillibus

THAT's what we had -- Hyundai Sonata

12:52 am

MLFAN17

stid can you get a used car/

12:52 am

stidmama

thanks, west, I think we looked at that one and the price was just too high.

12:52 am

dart001

you got it ruru

12:52 am

PAV3

well, Joey needs his walk...and Precious is busy chewing a bone...there's always Hundai's cousins..the Kia's

12:53 am

stidmama

no -- no used cars. *adamant mama look*

12:53 am

westford

and he got it for about 4500 off the list price

12:53 am

Kazozz

kia ? i loved mine

12:53 am

stidmama

later PAV -- and yes, we haven't looked at Kias yet, that is a good idea.

12:53 am

Bugsaw

oh sorry Ruru, you said subaru... still, it is a very judgemental thing to say

12:53 am

westford

he's very happy with it

12:53 am

MLFAN17

lol sorry stid was just a suggestion

12:53 am

Kazozz

they are very reasonable, mine was very reliable stid

12:54 am

dart001

and that is another phant for this grid sept

12:54 am

PAV3

BRB....

12:54 am

MLFAN17

yeah minivans are hard on gas sometimes

12:54 am

rururocks

not judgemental at all.. it is just what a lot of my gay friends drive

12:54 am

westford

I wanted sept

12:54 am

joshuavorbis

lesbians have good taste in cars

12:54 am

stidmama

it's a good suggestion, MLF... and we anticipated it by four years! *serves choclit*

12:54 am

westford

we are happy with our 2003 Camry

12:54 am

MLFAN17

stid ohhh

12:54 am

westford

it refuses to break down

12:54 am

stidmama

I think it's unfair that "tsar" isn't in the grid

12:54 am

rururocks

I think subarus are great cars.. and versatile too

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

go 6 and go 7

12:55 am

MLFAN17

what about a Sportage?

12:55 am

J. C.

Back, after dealing with doggies . . .

12:55 am

rururocks

won't hold tubas though

12:55 am

J. C.

Hello, PAV3 and ruru! :)

12:55 am

joshuavorbis

my subaru would definitely hold a tuba

12:55 am

J. C.

And Dee . . . :)

12:55 am

westford

whatever happened to the Yugo? lol

12:55 am

MLFAN17

yeah i guess not long enough

12:55 am

joshuavorbis

a sousaphone might be more difficult

12:56 am

stidmama

lesbians have good taste in people, too! one's orientation and sexuality have nothing to do with good sense in travel modes. I prefer manual transmission muscle cars, myself... but can't drive a stick right now because of the bad leg.

12:56 am

Kazozz

i had a sportage MLF

12:56 am

MLFAN17

Did you like it Kaz?

12:56 am

J. C.

Well no, stidmama - doesn't have anything to do with much, we're all just people. :)

12:56 am

rururocks

how do you get judgemental out of my comment buz

12:57 am

MLFAN17

The Mazda Millenia will fit a 6 ft person

12:57 am

Sudokuaddict

I like you more and more every day stidmama

12:57 am

rbud

mmmm, stick shift muscle car, those were the days!

12:57 am

Kazozz

i did..I had it for 3 years..living in the mountains..was great

12:57 am

J. C.

I've only had manual transmission in any vehicles I've had. I wouldn't feel like I was driving, otherwise!

12:57 am

I have an 82 camaro z28 stick on of the few made

12:57 am

12:58 am

jillibus

I think I opened a car of worms

12:58 am

MLFAN17

Kaz oh yeah woudl be great for that thats for sure! I really like thsoe cars but i suppose for everyday basic driving woudlnt be a good idea?

12:58 am

Kazozz

kia has quite a few that might fit stid's needs!

12:58 am

J. C.

I have a little sports coupe - Alfa Romeo GT.

12:58 am

MLFAN17

12:58 am

Sudokuaddict

12:58 am

J. C.

Yes, Jilli - a car of worms, HAHA!

12:58 am

rbud

12:58 am

westford

bye dart safe trip

12:58 am

Bugsaw

because I don't think a persons sexual preference has anything to do with anything - especially a choice in vehicle.

12:58 am

jillibus

happy flying, dart

12:59 am

J. C.

Well of course it doesn't, Bugsaw - why should it? :/

12:59 am

stidmama

12:59 am

J. C.

<< Gay.

12:59 am

Kazozz

12:59 am

rururocks

12:59 am

J. C.

Erm, well not my doggies - as far as I know? :P

12:59 am

rbud

12:59 am

1:00 am

MLFAN17

west how old is she?

1:00 am

1:00 am

westford

1:00 am

westford

if we had the money we'd get her one for a graduation present

1:00 am

stidmama

Jag's are SO expensive to repair!

1:00 am

J. C.

Hmmm, Bugsaw? No, of course you didn't offend . . .

1:00 am

J. C.

Are you also gay then?

1:01 am

rururocks

no .. I just have a lot of gay friends who drive subarus and love them.. what's the big deal?

1:01 am

bookwomen

1:01 am

joshuavorbis

i was being facetious when i said lesbians have great taste in cars. they actually have terrible taste in cars, subarus notwithstanding

1:01 am

stidmama

1:01 am

1:05 am

J. C.

1:18 am

westford

hi jellen nice entrance and yay!!

1:18 am

J. C.

Very funny, PAV - putting me to shame! :P

1:18 am

dcseain

hi, jellen, congrats!!

1:18 am

Rushie

I got a new cat from the SPCA today

1:18 am

rururocks

do these make my ass look fat?

1:18 am

J. C.

Oh god, Rushie - all my pets are rescues, also! :)

1:18 am

melonheadjujube

PAV - I got it already but tx. Just got to NBT in 22 words. Hats off to you for 21!

1:18 am

westford

awww what did you name it?

1:18 am

PAV3

way to go rushie!

1:18 am

rururocks

head to the PB there JC

1:18 am

Jellen

Tim did most of it...I'm just the finisher...

1:18 am

Rushie

It got freaked out by my other 2 VERY territorial cats, peed on my brand-new duvet, growls at me and hisses when I pick it up

1:18 am

J. C.

Oh good, I meant to say - not sure what happened to the other 'o' I was sure I typed? :P

1:19 am

PAV3

and ruru ...nothing makes you look fat...'cept the camera

1:19 am

J. C.

It? :/ Hmmm . . . sounds like you'll have some work with that one, Rushie.

1:19 am

Rushie

Ridiculous change in behaviour from the first couple hours we had it

1:19 am

rbud

it'll get better, Rushie

1:19 am

rururocks

way to lay the groundwork tim

1:19 am

PAV3

'tis why I don't have pic taken of me...

1:19 am

westford

hope they all get along rushie takes time

1:19 am

J. C.

Cats can go like that, when they're in a new environment . . .

1:19 am

Rushie

I've got him in the room with the litterbox

1:19 am

jillibus

fabulous, west, and there WAS corn among other things like "Kansas City Ribs" and "Aunt Eller's Chicken" -- all delicious -- very good chefs

1:20 am

J. C.

Yes, that's smart . . .

1:20 am

Rushie

I'm still POed about the duvet though...

1:20 am

westford

sounds yummy jilli was there strawberry shortcake for dessert?

1:21 am

Bugsaw

What colour is he Rushie?

1:21 am

J. C.

It's washable, isn't it, Rushie?

1:21 am

Rushie

It's a white and orange cat

1:21 am

Rushie

And yes, the duvet is washable

1:21 am

Rushie

But now I'm having second thoughts about it

1:21 am

J. C.

Wash it with borax and washing soda added . . . should help erradicate the odour. I would put it through twice, like that.

1:21 am

westford

I just tried go5/24 and it worked!

1:21 am

PAV3

make sure you treat it with de-urinizer before washing...

1:22 am

Rushie

One of them is guilt for some reason

1:22 am

Rushie

Feel I did something wrong with it in the 5 hours we've had it

1:22 am

J. C.

No, not necessarily! Cats are funny creatures . . .

1:22 am

J. C.

Very unpredictable, when in a new environment . . .

1:22 am

westford

not you the other cats sent it a message

1:23 am

jillibus

multitudinous desserts as always, west -- hot rhubarb crisp with ice cream, rum cheesecake, English trifle with sherry, double chocolate layer cake, pecan pie and many others -- fresh fruit too for the sensible people

1:23 am

Rushie

Yes, I just hope it works out

1:23 am

westford

oh my jilli I need to move where you are

1:23 am

Rushie

Cause the SPCA isn't open till Tuesday

1:23 am

jillibus

forgot to mention Ado Annie's sweet potato pie

1:23 am

J. C.

Yes Rushie - as westford says, it was probably due to the other cats, and not you . . .

1:23 am

Bugsaw

Guilt can be a good thing if it helps you correct something you can change, but in this case, I think the kitten was frightened by the carride, the other cats and the dogs in the house. Give him time to attach to you.

1:24 am

VolleymomDee

double yum on the sweet potato pie@

1:24 am

VolleymomDee

pie!

1:24 am

jillibus

oh yes, west, please do!

1:24 am

Rushie

I'm letting it attach to me alright

1:24 am

J. C.

Yes - and what Bugsaw just said, also.

1:24 am

Rushie

In the litterbox room

1:24 am

jillibus

awww, poor scared puss!

1:25 am

Bugsaw

does that mean you are sleeping in a litterbox room? It doesn't sound like fun

1:25 am

westford

when we got KC our 19 year old cat would hiss and scratch so he went out and brought home a friend now the 2 of them just ignore her

1:25 am

Rushie

Oh no

1:25 am

J. C.

Yes, Jilli . . . he's bound to be, at first.

1:25 am

Rushie

I am doing what I should have done

1:25 am

Rushie

Leaving it in a neutral environment

1:25 am

Bugsaw

Smart cat Westford!

1:26 am

westford

yes he is bugs

1:26 am

Rushie

Once he's not as scared he can come out and interact

1:26 am

Bugsaw

good plan Rushie. I hope you enjoy him.

1:27 am

she

I was told to keep new cats seperated for two weeks

1:27 am

Rushie

I hope so too, cause he just cost us $130 and I'd feel like crap if I had to take him back

1:27 am

J. C.

Yes, I'm sure you would . . .

1:27 am

J. C.

I know I would!

1:27 am

VolleymomDee

anyone have all the 7's? I am missing one.

1:27 am

Rushie

Yeah, but we just brought him right in and gave him full blast of Ebony as soon as he got out of the kennel

1:28 am

J. C.

I am missing a lot - as I only have 79 words, so far. :/

1:28 am

westford

I once read that a room with a screen door is a good idea if you can do it keeps the new and old cats separate but they can still see each other and get used to each other as well

1:28 am

rururocks

I only have 6 7's dee sorry

1:28 am

J. C.

Yes, I've heard that also, westford . . .

1:28 am

rururocks

1:28 am

VolleymomDee

ty ru

1:28 am

Rushie

I'm trying to make this work though

1:29 am

Rushie

Kinda sad, cause now Ebony is feeling left out

1:29 am

Bugsaw

Why not take She's suggestion and keep him in your bedroom for 2 weeks. He would bond to you and always know where his safe place is.

1:29 am

jillibus

JC, I only have 69 words, and no smart remarks please

1:29 am

VolleymomDee

1:50 am

herinfernallady

HI OSGMA. DC its yuor turn

1:50 am

Bugsaw

1:51 am

rururocks

I had a VERY relaxing time in Vegas....do you not thave the on4 ? ruru?

1:53 am

herinfernallady

LOVE

1:53 am

J. C.

rururocks

dcseain

i'd had an 8-letter bingo with nowhere to put it, herin.

1:53 am

lynxxx

J. C.

It's o + a slang term for 'leg'.

1:54 am

J. C.

Does that help?

1:54 am

jillibus

herin, I know what it says, but it looks as if it's made with berries or beads or something

1:54 am

dcseain

og4/g - old alphabet

1:54 am

rururocks

yep

1:54 am

J. C.

J. C.

Hello, sorry!

3:00 am

herinfernallady

J. C.

I am here - was dealing with the puppy.

3:01 am

westford

good now tell me what to do

3:01 am

J. C.

Oh sorry, westford - OK, what to do?

3:01 am

J. C.

Let me change that setting for you . . .

3:01 am

J. C.

Hold on - will do that now.

3:01 am

westford

when I tried to add you to my friends I got a message

3:03 am

J. C.

OK westford - sorry, yes. I've changed it now so you can!

3:03 am

J. C.

Try again, it should go through this time . . .

3:04 am

westford

here I go

3:04 am

J. C.

I had too many random strangers looking me up on there, and sending me add requests . . .

3:04 am

J. C.

So I changed it so only those who know my e- mail address can add me - sorry about that, I'd forgotten about doing it!

3:06 am

westford

I understand

3:06 am

westford

I sent you a message do you have it yet?

3:06 am

J. C.

OK N. B. - you are now connected with me! ;)

3:07 am

westford

good!!

3:07 am

J. C.

If you go back to my page now, or refresh it on there, you should be able to see it all . . .

3:07 am

J. C.

I haven't got any blogs posted yet, but they will be appearing there soon.

3:07 am

J. C.

I have some I'm going to move to there . . .

3:08 am

J. C.

You will also see other Babblers you know in the 'Friend Space' on my page, and can click them to go to their pages and add them, too. :)

3:10 am

westford

your page is amazing guess I'd better get a picture of myself in there

3:10 am

westford

did you see what I posted about my web cam? lol

3:11 am

J. C.

HAHAHA, yes westford - that would be nice! :)

3:12 am

J. C.

You can message me on there now, and give me your e-mail address that way, if you want to - and I can do the same! ;)

3:12 am

J. C.

Web cam?

3:12 am

J. C.

I have help, from my web designers . . . but I wrote all the content. ;)

3:13 am

J. C.

You will find a link on there to 'customise' your page - there, you can select a ready-made theme for it, which is what I did. My page is only one of those, with a lot of graphics added in the various interests' sections.

3:13 am

flosey

back for a few more, can't sleep

3:14 am

J. C.

As you scroll down, westford, you will eventually come to the 'Friend Space', and see all the contacts who are connected with me - you will recognise a few of them from Babble here! ;)

3:14 am

J. C.

Welcome back, flosey . . . :) Sorry you can't sleep!

3:14 am

westford

JC it's off the chat now said I could take a picture with my web cam and I said no way I have wet hair and I'm in my bathrobe

3:15 am

westford

I do recognize a few faces

3:15 am

J. C.

HAHAHA . . .

3:15 am

westford

or should I say names

3:15 am

J. C.

Well you don't have to - you can upload any picture you already have on your computer. ;)

3:15 am

J. C.

Yes - you can click on those you know, to go to their pages and add them, too! :)

3:16 am

westford

funny thing when I signed up I immediately had a friend Tom Anderson and have no idea who he is

3:17 am

J. C.

Seain, Jilli, Frances, Katrina, Laura (Fauxmage), Janet (itsallminenowtoo), Stidmama and Samantha (EvaNadine) are all Babblers, there . . .

3:18 am

westford

and pav will be soon?

3:18 am

J. C.

Oh, he is the owner of MySpace, westford - he's automatically everyone's friend, unless you choose to remove him. I had to remove him, because strangers were finding me in his friends' list, and trying to add me! :P

3:18 am

J. C.

I hope PAV will be - I sent him an invitation, but it seems he didn't receive it . . .

3:18 am

J. C.

So, I will try again . . .

3:18 am

westford

that's good to know thought he'd been waiting for me to sign up lol

3:19 am

J. C.

Oh, no - he hasn't joined yet! :P

3:19 am

westford

is this where the games are played

3:19 am

westford

I meant Tom Anderson

3:19 am

J. C.

Games?

3:19 am

J. C.

No - I play some word games on Yahoo's site . . .

3:20 am

J. C.

Oh, Tom . . . .yes.

3:20 am

westford

I remember you saying you played some sort of word games

3:20 am

westford

ah that's right

3:20 am

J. C.

Tom really gets around - he has the most 'friends' of anyone on that network! :P

3:20 am

J. C.

I will eventually post a blog about the Yahoo games, with links and instructions how to get into there and play, but give it time - I'm very busy these days!

3:21 am

J. C.

I have several blogs as it is, to repost there, from other places . . .

3:21 am

J. C.

I have just joined there myself, from another network that's closing down.

3:21 am

westford

I don't know how you do it all

3:21 am

J. C.

I don't do it all - I delegate! ;) Make'em work - that's what I pay them for! :P

3:22 am

westford

delegating is not easy

3:22 am

J. C.

Meaning the graphics work I needed for the page - that's what web designers are for . . .

3:22 am

Atalante

3:27 am

Haz1558

I know. You probably can wear the Giant Hat of Cleverness every day.

3:27 am

Atalante

I was just thinking yesterday that I should buy a New and Cool Hat

3:27 am

Haz1558

For when you're deported to the States?

3:28 am

Atalante

yep!

3:28 am

FMitch

lol!

3:28 am

Haz1558

That sounds like a good idea.

3:28 am

Atalante

maybe I wouldn't fit on the plane with an Ascot-style hat on

3:29 am

Haz1558

I'd give the dead crow one a miss. And Eugenie's space-ship was a dead loss as well.

3:29 am

Haz1558

You can get fancy hats in M&S that roll up. For the fashionista on the go.

3:29 am

Atalante

eugenie's was *awful*. was a dead space-ship / euphorbia cross suckered to her forehead

3:30 am

Haz1558

They lack mirrors in her house/

3:30 am

Atalante

and the dead crow was just psychopathic I think

3:31 am

Haz1558

Shades of Psycho...

3:31 am

Atalante

definitely. very disturbing.

3:32 am

FMitch

or Hichcocks "The Birds"

3:32 am

Haz1558

Anyway, now I've seen you, I have to go! Back later. Be good!

3:33 am

7:40 am

redturtlehead

Annie, I cant wait to get that rain, we are under a bad heat advisory, and it is so darn hot and mugy,

7:40 am

Anniebrook

peri, when is the actual moving day? This running back and forth is so tiring. I remember that.

7:41 am

Scrabbler

I am reading the newspaper--15 yr old boy died of H1N1 flu here at our Children's Hospital.

7:41 am

7:41 am

periwinkle

I must be out by the end of the month, yesterday was the biggest move of small furniture and misc. stuff. I am giving the larger pieces of furniture to a thrift store and they are picking them up on 6/29. then I need to clean :(

7:41 am

sprite

oh Scrabs, how awful.

7:41 am

7:42 am

periwinkle

I am pushing the rain to anyone who wants it

7:42 am

Scrabbler

Yes, very sad, and it will also increase the anxiety of parents all over here.

7:42 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbler, How very very sad.

7:43 am

sprite

yes, very much so, I am afraid, Scrabs. What can you tell them?

7:43 am

periwinkle

thanks sprite, I will take any good news, the move is very sad for me. I have been living alone, albeit with a cat for 19 years. living with others will take some getting used to

7:44 am

Scrabbler

It will be a challenge, Peri, but I do hope all of you will get along well, including the pets. Will you have to share a bathroom?

7:44 am

7:45 am

My running buddy (one of them) is iranian, though he lives in Georgia. It's really something to hear him describe the country, it changes everything to just listen to him describe the city and the countryside...and not the politics.

11:33 am

bonkler

sharon was awesome, she's a natural comedian and i got on very well with her. dennis would show up when he was needed and as soon as he was done he headed to the gold course. both were very professional and there were no "scenes". stephen dorff was also really nice and attitude free.

11:33 am

bonkler

um, golf course...

11:33 am

stidmama

As addled!

11:34 am

Minveryork

Juliette Lewis has not done a movie for 3 years, but she has 5 more movies coming out sometime later on.

11:34 am

stidmama

I rarely watch movies -- last one I really liked was Wall-E, but the Star Trek movie was fun too.

11:35 am

bonkler

she was doing music for a while there.

11:35 am

Minveryork

Yeah, I don't think Dennis needs any gold. He is rich enough, but I already knew what you meant bonkler.

11:35 am

stidmama

so I don't know these names... LOL

11:36 am

Minveryork

Juliette Lewis has completed 1 movie and has 4 more movies in post-production. I got this from imdb.com.

11:54 am

stidmama

I can clue for five more minutes or so, then must read a chapter in the history book. *sigh*

11:55 am

dcseain

yay for history :)

11:56 am

stidmama

maybe ... I read the teacher's online "introductory lecture" and find much in it to be wary of... it's an online class and the first assertion is one that I know to be false.

11:57 am

Nef

oh-oh Stid. What sort of history are you studying?

11:57 am

Nef

sane

11:57 am

stidmama

Pacific Northwest History. Assertion #1: the Pac NW was isolated until the white man came and discovered it (paraphrase, but still)

11:57 am

Nef

Ooops! Sorry

11:57 am

stidmama

go Nef Go!

11:58 am

stidmama

in fact, there was a great deal of movement by indigenous peoples north to south as well as east to west even before the spanish horses became available.

11:58 am

Nef

OMG! It actally SAYS that in his intro? Where does HE live?

11:59 am

Nef

Where does he think all of the artifacts in that area came from?

12:00 pm

stidmama

LOL I know better, just trying to decide if he mis-wrote or if he actually believes this. If he miswrote, then he won't mind a correction. If he believes this, then I will have a miserable quarter if I speak up.

12:00 pm

stidmama

I don't know the teacher, so don't know which way to proceed.

12:01 pm

Nef

Hmm. It's an "assertion" you say? Is he looking for an active discussion then?

12:02 pm

stidmama

It's part of the first "lecture" posted online. Which means he either believes it and wants the students to believe it, or he was writing too quickly and didn't think about how it might be interpreted.

12:02 pm

Nef

There was such a rich culture there before the white man came along. I would say he HAS to be trying to start discussions

12:02 pm

MadMunky100

good evening all

12:03 pm

stidmama

I am hoping so... I really like the idea of an online class -- saves me HOURS of commuting time. I was htinking I might email him privately and inquire about it.

12:03 pm

stidmama

hello Munky!

12:03 pm

Nef

hi Mad

12:03 pm

Nef

Stid, I think that that's a great idea, do email him and ask.

12:04 pm

MadMunky100

so...hows the board today?

12:04 pm

beachboggle

Hi everybody... I was wondering the same thing as MadMunky

12:04 pm

12:31 pm

stidmama

*poof*

12:32 pm

dcseain

hasta, stid, have fun :)

12:44 pm

hurshy

hey dc, are you still here?

12:44 pm

dcseain

hi, hurshy, i am. how are you?

12:44 pm

dcseain

(sorry cooking lunch while babbling)

12:45 pm

hurshy

i was wanting to set up a relay or bridge through Tor to help Iranian protesters but i'm having trouble and i can't figure out what to do. i wondered if you might be able to help?

12:48 pm

dcseain

okay, so what's happening when you try to dial in?

12:49 pm

dcseain

(assuming i understand what you're saying)

12:50 pm

hurshy

well, i already had the Tor program installed so i have some sense of how it works... but i now have at&t uverse and i dunno if that makes a difference.

12:51 pm

hurshy

anyway i was following the online instructions and it said if you connect to the internet through a router you need to set up port forwarding, so i got instructions for that

12:51 pm

dcseain

AT&T is the phone company where Tor lives

12:51 pm

dcseain

okay

12:52 pm

hurshy

but when i go to the IP that's listed on my router to change the firewall settings, it asks me which computer i want to change and there are two IP addresses and one Macintosh-02 and i don't know which is my laptop because the IP in AirPort isn't the same as either of the two listed.

12:53 pm

hurshy

and i don't know why there are more listed than we have, anyway, unless it is from when a friend visited last week?

12:53 pm

dcseain

the 2nd IP is likely your laptop, as they usually list from oldest to newest. friend last week is likely macintosh-02, i'm guessing

12:54 pm

hurshy

is there a way to confirm that i have the right one?

12:55 pm

dcseain

i was just checking the nework preferenc on this macbook

12:55 pm

dcseain

and the laptop is hidden. i only see the airport

12:55 pm

hurshy

and, when i say what services are allowed - i know i don't want to bother with all the game applications, but, well, i don't know what i DO want - what do they need? do i just pick the servers?

12:56 pm

dcseain

depends on whether the software is designed to work via router or needs the process of the computer

12:56 pm

dcseain

and i don't know that software well enough to hazard a guess

12:57 pm

hurshy

well, what things should i include to be on the safe side?

12:58 pm

dcseain

does it specify which ports to open?

12:58 pm

dcseain

i ask cause youdon't want to be wide open for the duration

12:58 pm

hurshy

define "it"

12:59 pm

hurshy

the place online where i'm playing with the firewall settings, no. but in the Tor program, yes.

1:01 pm

dcseain

okay, then i'd only open what the tor program says to open

1:03 pm

hurshy

it says "relay port 9001" and directory port is 9030

1:03 pm

hurshy

but there isn't any place on the firewall bit to put in that info

1:03 pm

dcseain

k, thos two make sense to me. let me do some searching...

1:03 pm

hi folks! in to finish hopefully...

PAV3

Phoenix, is warm, even at 11 am...should be in the 100's later...I'm enjoying some time before going in to the office to clean out files...someone has to do it and since I take up the space during the week, my boss seems to think I should clean it also...

1:09 pm

lil*monkey

PAV i would rather be there in 100 degree heat cleaning your office, than here visiting my parents at the Jersey shore , where it has not stopped raining for 2 days

I'm thinking of emigrating to Australia or some island country where there's water and cool breezes...on the web only of course...

1:10 pm

dcseain

A happy Solstice to all!

1:10 pm

dcseain

australia will be a first with water problems with climate change, pav, go to NZ instead

1:10 pm

PAV3

summer solstice? is it a bit early?

1:11 pm

lil*monkey

if you like island breezes, I would recommend Barbados or some other Caribbean island, PAV (and I will go with you)

1:11 pm

dcseain

no, pav, it moves around a tad.

1:11 pm

lil*monkey

no Australia fro me!!!! too many icky spiders and snakes and strange frogs and things

1:11 pm

Boobear

1:11 pm

PAV3

I'd have to be able to t ake my poopies with me...does that narrow it down a bit?

1:11 pm

Boobear

opps he 5/12

1:11 pm

lil*monkey

1:12 pm

dcseain

he5 in your hair or on your hands - reddish dye

1:12 pm

PAV3

1:12 pm

dcseain

hint for te6, pls?

1:12 pm

hurshy

i don't seem to have a firewall tab in the sharing bit.

1:12 pm

hurshy

not the landlord but the...

1:13 pm

lil*monkey

te6 is the person renting your space

1:13 pm

dcseain

ty, hurshy

1:13 pm

PAV3

poopies = puppies for normal english speaking folks...since mine seem to poop at least daily..it's easier for me to remember them as not human...

1:13 pm

dcseain

any of the rest of you Mac people? I 'm using one, but am still on a learning curve. Hurshy, you have full rights as yu are signed int o the computer?

1:14 pm

lil*monkey

there are too many big snakes in Australia, they might eat your poopies

1:14 pm

littlebit

monkey!!

1:14 pm

PAV3

I have a Mac-mini...the greatest thing since apple pie (without cinnamon, of course)

1:14 pm

lil*monkey

I can hear PAV now.... "a dingo ate my poopies!"

1:14 pm

lil*monkey

OMG littlebit!!!!!

1:15 pm

dcseain

pav, hurshy is trying to open two ports on hers, or her router.

1:15 pm

PAV3

well, I do keep them inside most of the time...

1:15 pm

littlebit

how's the weaather there today?

1:15 pm

lil*monkey

littlebit it sucks!

1:15 pm

PAV3

I have a straight up access through cable Internet/modem

1:15 pm

lil*monkey

if it's still bad tomorrow, I'm leaving

1:16 pm

littlebit

it looks like it might rain here today

1:16 pm

lil*monkey

really? the local weather for my town says 84 and sunny

1:16 pm

PAV3

has she tried the apple site for technical support?

1:16 pm

littlebit

nothing but clouds

1:17 pm

littlebit

here at least

1:17 pm

lil*monkey

those dam weathermen... i'd like to strangle them

1:17 pm

PAV3

it's suposed to rain here as well...we're in our "monsoon" season...

1:17 pm

lil*monkey

they should get fired when they are wrong

1:18 pm

lil*monkey

PAV? Phoenix has a monsoon season????

1:18 pm

hurshy

yes, i have full rights

1:18 pm

hurshy

i just don't KNOW stuff about firewalls and ports and so on

1:19 pm

dcseain

i know that firewall settings have a place to type in the port number one wishes to open, and whether to open them outbound, inbound, or both ways

1:20 pm

hurshy

ok, so that's the bit i'm doing directly online at the router IP address.

1:20 pm

PAV3

yep, I'm technically/electronically disadvantaged...I like simple plug and play...I know about ports and firewalls, I just don't KNOW about them...

1:20 pm

lil*monkey

i don't know about any of that stuff

1:20 pm

harpjane

hello

1:20 pm

lil*monkey

why would you have to?

1:20 pm

harpjane

127 to go

1:21 pm

dcseain

correct, hurshy, there should be an option - advanced, ports or such - that lets you conigure port settings

1:21 pm

hurshy

i'm trying to set up a relay that can be used to help iranian protesters maintain access to the internet with anonymity.

1:22 pm

PAV3

when the summer winds bring enough moisture to the area at a higher level, and the prevailing winds stagnate, or something like that, it creates an atmosphere ripe enough for thunderstorms and showers...since we're land-locked it creates floods and "dangerous" situations, hence monsoons.....

1:22 pm

hurshy

ok, yes, i think i have that dc, it says i can make user defined applications and i have made one called eve with the eve port info

1:22 pm

harpjane

good for you hursh

1:23 pm

hurshy

what's eve, anyway? what's special about that port number?

1:23 pm

lil*monkey

i had no idea PAV, i thought Phoenix was one of those dry places without a drop of rain ever

1:24 pm

PAV3

kudos to hurshy! I had no idea the Iranians were capable of tracking Internet access

1:24 pm

lil*monkey

does anyone have the 2 N words from the lower left corner?

1:25 pm

harpjane

one is a woman's name

1:25 pm

hurshy

oh yeah, the government is totally shutting down access wherever they can - that's why we have to try to help them get around the blockages.

1:25 pm

dcseain

Eve is just the name of the application, if i understand you hurshy

1:25 pm

dan2bit

no6 - negate + your number of years, and no4 shorten no6

1:26 pm

hurshy

now i just have to wait awhile to find out if it works, i guess.

1:26 pm

lil*monkey

thank u dan2bit

1:26 pm

PAV3

yep, we're mostly a "dry heat" kind of place, but when it rains it either sprinkles = some wetness or pours = lots of wetness over a few days...we've been in a drought for many years and behind on replenishing the water table

1:26 pm

hurshy

it did not have a distinction about inbound/outbound, though, dc - i think it's all about inbound.

1:26 pm

dcseain

how wonderful, hurshy! that means you've got it configured?

1:26 pm

dcseain

an

1:26 pm

lil*monkey

a drought sounds really good to me right now

1:26 pm

PAV3

no4 is one...

1:27 pm

dcseain

it's been raining fro weeks. one sinks into the ground almost everywhere

1:27 pm

lil*monkey

makes me want to move to the Sahara, dcseain :D

1:28 pm

PAV3

Sahara? no...scorpions and such there....heck there's scorpions and such here!

1:28 pm

lil*monkey

dcseain, i found an amazing restaurant in Norfolk called Ibiza... it's a tapas restaurant similar to Jaleo, if you ever visit my neighborhood, please call me & let's go there, you would LOVE it

1:28 pm

hurshy

well i don't know, dc! i may have, but i don't know enough to know if i have.

1:29 pm

dan2bit

1:29 pm

lil*monkey

1:30 pm

lil*monkey

excellent!!! What restaurant in VaBch???

1:32 pm

dcseain

i'll find out the name and let you knew. My friend Elizabeth knows the name, and i know that Aimee Templeton is one of the co-owners.

1:34 pm

lil*monkey

that would be Razzo... restaurant in Ocean View ??? according to Yahoo restaurants

1:34 pm

lil*monkey

Ocean View is not exactly Virginia Beach, but maybe she used to be at Razzo

1:35 pm

dcseain

hm. vaguely familiar, but i am not sure.

1:36 pm

lil*monkey

at any rate, I would love for you to come try Ibiza in the Ghent neighborhood of Norfolk

1:37 pm

dcseain

i will make a point of doing so in July or August, on a day that Tom can come too. i'll let you know, and we have some flexibility

1:37 pm

Boobear

1:45 pm

littlebit

lol!!

1:45 pm

dcseain

i just looked at what i sent you. It's a good example, but not literal. EVE in that case is a game. :) You should rename it as Torg instructed and, change the ports to what he said

1:46 pm

lil*monkey

PAV3

Good one Ruru. I think work on some days is a stress test.

2:25 pm

lil*monkey

LOL ruru

2:26 pm

PAV3

well, I don't have diabetes or other blood disorder, and my parts seem to work when needed so he's not as worried as I feel somedays...but that's what meds are for, I guess....

2:27 pm

PAV3

and the stress test is a physical exam, work is more emotional and psychological...mind over matter...

2:28 pm

rururocks

MIL'

2:28 pm

rururocks

Mil's are very emotional and pyscological too

2:29 pm

rururocks

Or psycho.. as an alternative.

2:29 pm

redturtlehead

Depends on your work, PAV...mine is largely very physical, lots of running about and pushing and pulling on heavy people.

2:29 pm

PAV3

yes...which is why I've avoided that issue altogether

2:29 pm

redturtlehead

but I had my stress test because my resting Heart arate was 43. and all is well....

2:30 pm

PAV3

yes, us gov't types do have the heavy wind bags to deal with ourselves...but I do know what you mean...

2:30 pm

2:35 pm

2:37 pm

rururocks

nancy pelosi on thorazine could play bass better than that

2:37 pm

PAV3

that's how he learns ruru...encourage him to share his new-found talents withthe rest of the city...give him busfare..!

2:37 pm

PAV3

bass as in horn or guitar...

2:37 pm

rururocks

I have been considering water-boarding him actually

2:45 pm

rbud

PAV3

3:57 pm

lkdubb

just curious.....has anyone ever completed a puzzle with out using Lickety?

3:58 pm

Uniquity

Many people, many times. Especially for the years it iddn't exist or the days it didn't update.

3:58 pm

KatieMcG

There was a time when there was no lickety, I used to do it but not as often as I do now

3:58 pm

lkdubb

wow....seems impossible to me.....hats off to those who have done it

3:59 pm

KatieMcG

There were many more clues in the chog. We still have days without it as lickety does it out the kindness of his heart and sometimes can't get to put it up

3:59 pm

Uniquity

There are still a number of babblers who rarely use Licketys...Sprite, Ata, Hurshy, LoriP, Anniebrook, etc.

4:00 pm

lkdubb

you folks must be real wordmasters.....

4:00 pm

cybernan

we didn't have lickety and there were times when brandyjack didn't post, so we helped each other with clues like we do now and kept hand written lists to keep track of the numbers

4:00 pm

KatieMcG

I usually go to it at half way as I have a husband now lol when I lived on my own used to do it without a lot

4:00 pm

Uniquity

I almost always use Lickety's, as I like to finish (although you wouldn't know by my stats the last week) so I am *not* one of the masters.

4:00 pm

KatieMcG

Oh the days of paper and pencil nan, I remember them well lol

4:00 pm

lkdubb

i try to get about halfway also before Lickety rescues me

4:01 pm

KatieMcG

I have a great book I turn to as well, I always think AtoZ is cheating, no logic there but still

4:01 pm

lkdubb

otherwise i'd be on here all night

4:01 pm

cybernan

ta 7/36 please?

4:01 pm

Uniquity

I <3 morewords.com

4:01 pm

Uniquity

4:03 pm

KatieMcG

rarely finished it before midnight and that was playing in my lunch hour and for most of the night! No wonder I had to find hubby online lol

4:03 pm

lkdubb

i tell my wife better to be on here Babbling than out chasing wild women

4:04 pm

Uniquity

The grid flips for 2 am for me, If I am not done by 10 or 11, I give up. Now. I used to just do it no matter what :)

4:04 pm

Uniquity

Oh, you're chasing wild women in here. We just wear tinfoil hats.

4:04 pm

lkdubb

she says I wouldn't know what to do with a wild woman if I caught one

4:04 pm

KatieMcG

it flips at 6am here, in all the years I have only made the flip once lol

4:04 pm

KatieMcG

lol lkdubb

4:05 pm

lkdubb

and she is probably right

4:05 pm

Uniquity

Lori and I stayed up for a flip together once..it was thrilling, but I like to sleep.

4:05 pm

lkdubb

they all run faster than i do

4:05 pm

lkdubb

so I couldn't catch one even if I tried

4:06 pm

KatieMcG

I've had a great day, finally feel better thank goodness and our great friends asked if they could come on the holiday we booked yesterday, life will be complete if I can persuade Mari to come as well

4:06 pm

cybernan

*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help:)

4:06 pm

o-o

the women here are praying mantises

4:06 pm

KatieMcG

congrats nan

4:06 pm

Hoorah for cybernan! *fire baton display of glory and magnitude*

4:07 pm

cybernan

where are you off to katie?

4:07 pm

lkdubb

hmmmmmmm.....don't praying mantis kill their mate?

4:07 pm

Uniquity

Why do you think there are so few male babblers?

4:07 pm

KatieMcG

we are going back to the maldives for hopefully more glorious sunsets as in the icon

4:07 pm

KatieMcG

we scare them lol

4:07 pm

o-o

could be but they give great eulogies

4:08 pm

lkdubb

that explains it....

4:08 pm

KatieMcG

Mari is both Mari & Mr Mari, he babbles more than she does but doesn't chat so much

4:08 pm

cybernan

sounds lovely

4:08 pm

KatieMcG

We may be married but I would have a fit if hubby got up before me and filled in some words

4:09 pm

KatieMcG

mind you the shock of him being up before me might kill me off

4:09 pm

Uniquity

I wish my beau would do babble for me sometimes...it'd be faster!

4:09 pm

lkdubb

maybe hubby sneaks in when you're not looking.......

4:09 pm

Uniquity

So, the pe6 is elduing me. Fish or clue?

4:09 pm

KatieMcG

remember wives are all knowing.....

4:10 pm

KatieMcG

5:58 pm

Rushie

Oh jeez

5:58 pm

Rushie

Haven't even had this new cat for 24 hours and it just screwed off

5:59 pm

Rushie

It pushed the screen out of the window and he was gone in 10 seconds

5:59 pm

redturtlehead

Is it a wild cat, or just new?

6:00 pm

Rushie

A new one from the SPCA

6:00 pm

redturtlehead

I think I may have to get rid of Dad icon, it is a little too disturbing.

6:00 pm

Rushie

It was so friendly and nice, and then my other cats freaked it out so bad it left

6:00 pm

redturtlehead

Maybe Rush if you put a little food out it will return, or a new cat will show up....

6:00 pm

Rushie

Just led a cathunt around the place for 15 minutes

6:03 pm

harpjane

H's done YAY!

6:05 pm

redturtlehead

Oh Rushie, introducing cats to cats is always a challenge.

6:05 pm

J. C.

There - changed it, red.

6:06 pm

Shirlockc

pl of the me6

6:06 pm

redturtlehead

JS, thats not a Pet!

6:06 pm

J. C.

Oh yes - that it is. It's the reason I haven't tried adopting another cat, while I have my present one - who is very temperamental, and doesn't take kindly to other cats!

6:06 pm

J. C.

Erm, no red - I told you I was changing it, so I don't overdo it with the pets, before tomorrow! :P

6:07 pm

redturtlehead

My mom has 3 cats, and each time a stray comes by...the three are so mean to it that it leaves...

6:07 pm

redturtlehead

Ok JC, I see...

6:07 pm

J. C.

Just me, not a pet - unless Mike considers me one? ;)

6:07 pm

horsegal

Got it! Thank you Shirlockc, red and Harp!

6:08 pm

Shirlockc

gont

6:08 pm

Shirlockc

oops\

6:09 pm

J. C.

Yes red - that's how my cat would be, if she could get outside to terrorise any stray cats that wander onto this property!

6:09 pm

redturtlehead

My parents keep indoor and outdoor cats, which is not reccommended, but, its hard to tell parents. And those cats are sort of partly wild anyway...

6:10 pm

harpjane

go6? help?

6:10 pm

redturtlehead

sorry harp, do not have it...is Minver still here?

6:11 pm

J. C.

Erm, Rushie - why would you let a new cat outside? You're not supposed to let a cat out for at least three weeks, they say - although I never would, because it's not safe for cats outdoors these days. Too much traffic about, and other dangers . . .

6:11 pm

redturtlehead

JC,, Rushie';s new cat pushed out the screen, I dont think she meant to let it out.

6:11 pm

J. C.

Oh, I see . . .

6:12 pm

rururocks

should he have pre-screened the cat?

6:12 pm

J. C.

Goodness . . . I hope someone manages to catch the cat, then!

6:12 pm

9:41 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

I will be babbling, Gwen, but only because that is my one release valve. Everything else has gone: art, music, garden.

9:41 pm

J. C.

Oh my god, stidmama - I wish you lots of luck and energy!!!

9:41 pm

Jellen

What's un-potlatching?

9:42 pm

Scrabbler

Stid, you know enough about time management, and your boys can be independent except for driving.

9:43 pm

stidmama

potlatch is the Pacific Northwest native way of establishing prestige: give away lots of gifts at various occasions. It used to impoverish the givers (to European eyes) but greatly enhanced their social standing, which was more important in their culture.

9:43 pm

Book Doctor Gwen
