Afterglow
I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterflow of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways.
Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun.
Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

12:47 pm

stidmama

how are you book sales going?

12:48 pm

stidmama

or... YOUR book sales. I have been up since 7, and wasn't sleeping well since about 3 am. sleep dep isn't helpful when typing.

12:49 pm

ch1212

A small and steady increase each month, so that's good. The reviews are very positive, and the feedback is what I hoped --- that people are finding value and support, and saving money (of course.)

12:49 pm

ch1212

Sometimes a note that touches my heart, from some readers who have been homeless, unemployed, single parent, etc --- which I was at one time, and which I talk about in the book.

12:51 pm

ch1212

Stid, is your trouble sleeping due to school or health? Hope you are okay.

12:57 pm

ch1212

(Stid, it's okay -- I'm guessing Babble crashed on you again, as it did a few minutes ago.) I'll BBL :)

1:02 pm

MonkeyGames

Hi there! Stuck since earlier at 12 words to go. Wasn't going to get back into it but now that I look over and see that YOU'RE here, Stid, how could I not say hello?

Oops, teach me to scan instead of read... no Stid. Hi Ch1212!

1:03 pm

MonkeyGames

Or possibly not... I see a BBL...

1:04 pm

Yes, JBV, things have been... well, not at their best. But here I am. Good to "see" you!

1:28 pm

MonkeyGames

Thank you.

1:29 pm

buffgirl71

Thanks, Monkey. Here's a dumb question - what's a Babblet? Don't have all the buzz words down yet!

1:29 pm

MonkeyGames

It's a word that shows up a LOT.

1:29 pm

MonkeyGames

Not at all a dumb question-- I had to ask too, when I was new here.

1:30 pm

stidgmere

I am just reading about the loss of your Grandfather. You have my condolences also.

1:30 pm

MonkeyGames

Thank you. To say he was a good man would be a shocking understatement. I always called him every Sunday so Sundays always throw me for a loop righjt now. I keep thinking I'll tell him this or that when I call...

1:31 pm

buffgirl71

Thanksk, Monkey. I'm just missing the 1st in4/4

1:31 pm

JBV

that is a hard adjustment

1:32 pm

stidgmere

I call my mother every Sunday also. She is in a care center because her needs are well beyond that which a couple of people can provide. She has good days and bad days. Today was a good day so I am quite pleased.

1:33 pm

stidgmere

Hi, mama. Did you get the album I sent on Picasa?

1:33 pm

sammysmom

THANKS MONKEYGAMES

1:33 pm

MonkeyGames

That's how it was with Sam too. He was in an excellent facility. There were good days and bad ones. What I am glad about is that the last time I called he was unable to speak but the girl holding the phone said he heard me say I loved him and tried to answer. I'm glad I got to say it one last time when he could hear me.

1:34 pm

stidmama

Hello Mother, I haven't checked email in a couple hours, was getting my first half work organized and out of my backpack!

1:34 pm

Sudokuaddict

did your grandfather live in california

1:34 pm

stidgmere

Well, I think he probably hears you fine now also. That's just my belief system as it is.

1:34 pm

MonkeyGames

That's my aunt Leanne, JBV. She teaches native groups how to restore their own languages from [near] extinction even when there is no living speaker.

1:34 pm

stidmama

((((Monkey (and Walter by proxy)))))

1:35 pm

stidmama

I have your Aunt's "How to" book for reinvigorating languages, Monkey!

1:35 pm

JBV

1:35 pm

Yes, Sudoku, he lived most of his life in San Diego and then moved to Berkeley a few years ago to be closer to my aunt.

1:35 pm

1:38 pm

Okay, that lone o on the left is making me crazy. Help pls. (o's are my enemy.)

O on left is o4/4 (very fishy)

1:39 pm

stidmama

she has two sisters... the one with the boys?

1:39 pm

stidmama

We're not sure, of course. Could just be regular flu. But we're keeping an eye out for the worser symptoms just in case.

1:40 pm

JBV

I hope it's not serious, Monkey - best wishes to you and Walter

1:40 pm

MonkeyGames

Thank you, Stid. So far it isn't scary, just really bad flu, but he's got a couple of the hallmarks so we're paying close attention.

1:40 pm

stidmama

around here apparently the regular flu is worse than normal, so do keep your eyes open!

1:40 pm

MonkeyGames

Thanks, JBV, just high fevers and cough, nothing really scary.

1:41 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes, bad year for viral strains. Or good year I guess, if you look at it from the viral point of view...

1:41 pm

stidmama

I am having terrible lag on my computer, not sure why. anyone else having trouble with the chat upload?

1:41 pm

MonkeyGames

Not so far, Stid, but it's not all that unusual.

1:41 pm

stidmama

*grin* sure, it's good for the microbes!

1:42 pm

MonkeyGames

Some biologist once made a case for all of creation being intended soloely to support the bizarre life cycle of the horsehair worm... the same could be said for virii, I guess.

1:42 pm

JBV

Stid, how are things going along with your classes?

1:42 pm

stidgmere

Yes, very herky jerky over here mama.

1:43 pm

stidmama

cute, Monkey (but I don't think so, I think it was invented just for ME)

1:43 pm

MonkeyGames

They're good at what they do anyway, for what it's worth. Like sharks. Or mold.

1:43 pm

stidmama

well JBV, pretty well except Friday when a classmate got very hostile toward me and I left early.

1:43 pm

Yay about the stellar week, I mean, Boo about aggressive dweeb.

1:45 pm

stidmama

I don't really understand what happened. I was confused about something and wanted to work on my own in our small group -- he walked away and was very upset to find me participating when he came back. I was not good about de-escalating the situation.

1:46 pm

JBV

deescalating is a skill good teachers work at developing, stid - probably best to work it out with the whole group

1:46 pm

stidmama

It's a learning experience, right? I think it was partly a cultural thing on my part, possibly an assertion of dominance thing on his part, and perhaps a bit of end of the week tiredness for both of us.

1:47 pm

JBV

brb

1:47 pm

stidmama

Yes JBV, I am going to work with the faculty and some of the other students to figure out how to get better at this.

1:48 pm

MonkeyGames

That's very diplomatic of you Stid-- I have never seen you be other than reasonable though, so is it not possible that he's just a jerk?

1:48 pm

MonkeyGames

I had a similar experience getting my degree, a group report Gone Horribly Wrong...

1:48 pm

stidgmere

well, with most of the program ahead of you, working it out is the best short and long term solution.

1:48 pm

stidmama

that has occurred to me also Monkey, but I think a good teacher and colleague needs to be able to defuse things like that anyway.

1:49 pm

MonkeyGames

OK, you got me there. But if the other party is working against conflict resolution, sometimes there really is no out except to just walk away, at least temporarily.

1:49 pm

stidmama

that, and I intend to avoid working with this individual in the future as much as possible. We don't have to be friendly, just not antagonistic.

1:50 pm

MonkeyGames

That worked in my group report situation... I just found ways to work on other teams whenever possible. It was some sort of non-meshing thing going n. I admit to some residual bitterness though, even now.

1:50 pm

stidgmere

Well, enough for me now. Have a good rest of your day and November!

1:51 pm

stidmama

I understand that, Monkey -- sometimes that chemistry just isn't going to change.

1:51 pm

stidmama

(((Mother))) nice to see you here.

1:51 pm

MonkeyGames

You too Stidgmere!

1:51 pm

MonkeyGames

For the record I now get on OK with the main problem person from those days... but we don't work together so maybe that's a factor.

1:52 pm

stidmama

yes, time makes many things better.

1:53 pm

MonkeyGames

It's true. I now even have a decent relatonship with my mom. I recommend emmigration to the other side of the Atlantic and then 10 years of minimal contact as a sort of breather. Worked great!

1:53 pm

stidmama

*grin* but I have another 21 months in this program! LOL

1:54 pm

MonkeyGames

Hmmm.... Nothing for it but be yourself and damn the opposition!

1:55 pm

MonkeyGames

Remember you're in a microcosm. Things are different on the Outside, I've learned since getting that degree in January and shedding the shackles...

1:55 pm

stidmama

that's my plan. I suspect it has more to do with my being unafraid to be a woman with opinions than with my opinions, to be honest... *feminist side showing* an opinionated woman with a pink computer...

1:56 pm

stidmama

good point, Monkey. But I have run into people like this in other venues. It's one of those things I shall need to learn to cope with.

1:56 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes, that throws people off, I know. Someone who interporets being able to have any color computer one likes as also meaning it's OK to have a feminine side...

1:57 pm

MonkeyGames

You're rigt of course, stid. I lucked out with the temp job I just had by NOT dealing with all that microcosm crap, but I'm pretty scared about the possible results of tomorrow's job interview. What if I en up on the set of The Office or something? Shudder!

1:57 pm

stidmama

that's me, a feminine feminist, a stay-at-home strong-willed woman... *wonders if they make pink army boots*

1:58 pm

stidmama

interview? *Makes large note on master list* I'll be thinking of you~!

1:58 pm

MonkeyGames

Me too. I'm a tomboy feminist rebel nonconformist type who stayed athome raising my baby boy for three years, shopping and cooking...

1:58 pm

stidmama

now down to 14 and definitely listing.

1:58 pm

MonkeyGames

Thanks, Stid! It's for a secreterial positipon at a dental prosthetics lab.

1:59 pm

stidmama

you, nonconformist? *confused look* I NEVER guessed!

1:59 pm

MonkeyGames

I listed at 18. So you're in good enough company.

1:59 pm

MonkeyGames

I hope that is sarcasm...

2:00 pm

stidmama

*innocent look* sarcasm? moi? *wicked mama grin*

2:00 pm

MonkeyGames

Hee hee. I should hope you'd have recognized me as a Total Weirdo.

2:01 pm

stidmama

*proudly wearing pink weirdo badge*

2:01 pm

MonkeyGames

Mine is of course some hard-to-identify color, but with a holographic sort of feel.

2:02 pm

stidmama

brb kid time

2:02 pm

MonkeyGames

You bet.

2:04 pm

stidmama

okay back

2:04 pm

MonkeyGames

Cool, just found this in the description of the job I'm interviewing for tomorrow: "Je zal veel te maken krijgen met de algemeen directeur Ate de Jong. Ate is een heel prettige en aangename man die zeer benaderbaar is en voor veel vragen bereikbaar is." That sure is a plus!

2:05 pm

MonkeyGames

I think he's conducting my interview.

2:05 pm

stidmama

What is ATe? I don't understand all the vocabulary describing the director, but you report directly to that position, I think?

2:05 pm

JBV

hi, i'm back - i'm sure we would agree with you monkey, if we could read that quote

2:06 pm

stidmama

"benaderbaar" makes me think of the Berenstain Bears...

2:06 pm

JBV

Ate is his name, right?

2:06 pm

MonkeyGames

By the way, Stid, when clicked on your profile pic is ENORMOUS... but since you're pretty it's OK.

2:06 pm

stidmama

oh dear, I loaded the wrong one. thanks for telling me. It's proably why I have such lag here. brb

2:06 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes, that's his name. That says I'll be working a lot with the general director, and that he is a relaxed and approachable man whoo is ready to answer any and all questions.

2:07 pm

JBV

thanks - sounds good, monkey, good luck tomorrow

2:08 pm

MonkeyGames

Thanks! I want to saty on at the FABULOUS place I've been working, but there's no pla=ce for me so now I have a call-up contract. But I'm really sad at leaving the fulltime position there. It's been SO great there!

2:08 pm

MonkeyGames

I just worked 11 weeks at the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation.

2:08 pm

stidmama

yep, I think that was it!

2:09 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh cool! Glad Imentioned it, then.

2:09 pm

JBV

sounds intriguing, is this about World War II?

2:09 pm

stidmama

thanks for the translation, Monkey

2:09 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes, it's an archive and research institute about the Netherlands in WWII and any peripheral events (like the colonies).

2:10 pm

stidmama

my last A is hte AN 5. help please?

2:10 pm

stidmama

that explains the film crews! always looking for experts...

2:10 pm

MonkeyGames

I'm sad enough to be leaving as to be seriously depressed. If I get the dental job then I can't go back there fiull time if something opens up.

2:11 pm

onyx

happy november first, can ya believe it?

2:11 pm

MonkeyGames

One moment, stid...

2:11 pm

stidmama

hello onyx! glad to have made it through this far in the year!

2:11 pm

MonkeyGames

an + not pro, as BabRab put it when I asked.

2:11 pm

MonkeyGames

Hi Onyx!

2:11 pm

JBV

an + pros and ***s

2:11 pm

stidmama

gah. I always forget that babblet. thanks

2:11 pm

MonkeyGames

Me too.

2:12 pm

stidmama

TEN to go!

2:12 pm

stidmama

how fishy is the CO 7 if I have most of the rest?

2:12 pm

JBV

go, go, go , stid - if you need clues, ask away

2:12 pm

MonkeyGames

I *was* going to take the dog out but I can't leave now...

2:12 pm

JBV

not fishy - it's babbly

2:12 pm

MonkeyGames

Really not fishy, stid. Odd word.

2:12 pm

onyx

fall is my favorite time of year, glad to be here too one more go round

2:13 pm

stidmama

hmmmmm...... *thinking*

2:13 pm

MonkeyGames

Fall is very nice here, if you ignore the whipping, soul-scouring winds.

2:14 pm

Ellen Jean

help..... What is the first No word? Can't believe I am stuck!

2:14 pm

MonkeyGames

Where I'm sitting these days, by the way, the dog can walk up behind me and shove her head under my arm and lick my nose. It can be distracting.

2:14 pm

stidmama

I am not fond of wind, but I do like the changing colors, and the sense that it is okay to slow down a bit.

2:14 pm

stidmama

maybe you should take dog out, Monkey, I'll probably still be here when you get back.

2:14 pm

Ellen Jean

norc

2:15 pm

stidmama

first no 4 is an italian grandmother name

2:15 pm

MonkeyGames

The colrs here ar egreat. But if you don't do wind come in summer. My husband, weighing as he does 105 pounds, also does not do wind-- so I walk the dog a lot.

2:15 pm

hego

It's 12 pm ellen

2:15 pm

MonkeyGames

She's eating now Stid, it's OK. Just want to be done and upstairs in 45 minutes.

2:15 pm

stidmama

no wonder he looks so skinny monkey!!!!

2:15 pm

onyx

fall is so subtle here in california you'd miss it if you don't pay attention. i like the change in colors

2:15 pm

hego

Sorry that's later

2:16 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes, it's because he IS skinny!

2:16 pm

MonkeyGames

I agree, Onyx. I grew up in California. Seasons, once you go wher ethey happen, are quite interesting.

2:16 pm

stidmama

I haven't been that weight since I was ten years old...

2:16 pm

stidmama

or maybe I was nine.

2:16 pm

MonkeyGames

Me neither, Stid.

2:17 pm

MonkeyGames

The DOG weighs more than my husband. But he's taller than me.

2:17 pm

Ellen Jean

No, the no before before 12pm

2:17 pm

onyx

what kind of dog would that be?

2:17 pm

stidmama

well, he sounds like a regular Ichabod Crane to me!

2:17 pm

stidmama

Ellen, you want the word for italian granny

2:17 pm

MonkeyGames

Ellen, No + **me.

2:18 pm

MonkeyGames

That would be a Great Dane.

2:18 pm

stidmama

start with opposite of yes, and a a nonsense syllable, sha-**-**-**

2:18 pm

stidmama

still need help on the co 7 please

2:18 pm

MonkeyGames

stidmama

2:19 pm

hego

ni6 anyone pls.

2:19 pm

stidmama

down to 6 now

2:19 pm

MonkeyGames

Funny you say Ichabod Crane... he does tend to the "bah humbug" at times...

2:20 pm

MonkeyGames

Ni6: like an acid, but with an ending other that "ic".

2:20 pm

MonkeyGames

ni6 would be a good name for an anti-louse medication...

2:20 pm

hego

Thanks monkey

2:20 pm

MonkeyGames

Sure thing.

2:21 pm

nrkii

hi all!

2:21 pm

stidmama

*culture question* are dutch people very serious? just thinking about that distant side of my family, they all seemed very earnest.

2:21 pm

stidmama

hey nrk!

2:21 pm

nrkii

tirade? is that a 3-letter tirade?

2:21 pm

stidmama

IN 6 please?

2:22 pm

nrkii

in6 = still in one piece

2:22 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes, they do tend to a very dedicated sort of approach, even to partying. It's a calvinist + WWII thing. It's interesting. We should get into it oin the phone sometime. E-mail me your number; I can get a cheap deal to call the states.

2:22 pm

nrkii

help with top row O please

2:22 pm

MonkeyGames

4-letter tirade. ra4 to be exact.

2:22 pm

stidmama

gah. thanks nrk.

2:22 pm

stidmama

firewords on a fish!!!!

2:22 pm

MonkeyGames

YAYYYYY!!!!!!

2:22 pm

2:23 pm

MonkeyGames

Which O is from where?? Hang on, clue pending...

2:23 pm

Ellen Jean

Thanks all I finally got it . The grandma did it! Merci!

2:23 pm

stidmama

Monkey, I am really happy we had a chance to touch base! Are you ever on when Sprite is? I keep missing her.

2:23 pm

jillibus

YAY stid!!! Hi gang!

2:23 pm

stidmama

de rien, Ellen Jean. Glad it helped.

2:23 pm

stidmama

hey jill! cute icon

2:23 pm

nrkii

hi jilli

2:23 pm

MonkeyGames

Ahhh yes, "I ob****!" in court, change J.

2:24 pm

nrkii

stid, I love that pic of you and hubby

2:24 pm

MonkeyGames

I don't "see" Sprite as much as I'd like to, Stid. I should call her soon.

2:24 pm

hego

nrkii, you're here!

2:24 pm

jillibus

I think you're looking at the one I used last night, stid. I've changed it, and the writeup so maybe a refresh will find it?

2:24 pm

nrkii

seriously??? I thought of that but didn't think it was a word so my fingers refused to type it

2:24 pm

stidmama

thanks nrk, that was a nice dinner out last week.

2:24 pm

MonkeyGames

Me too, nrkiii. Had to get it clued myself.

2:25 pm

nrkii

hi hego

2:25 pm

stidmama

the torch was on SSI???? did you go see it? that is REALLY AWESOME!!!!

2:25 pm

nrkii

okay, 11 left... is the lickety list up?

2:25 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes.

2:25 pm

jillibus

Unfortunately it was here in the afternoon while we were playing bridge and I didn't get to see it :(

2:26 pm

stidmama

what a bummer, jill. I would have ditched bridge... but then that's just me. I took the boys to see the torch years ago, the gym teacher from Mother's school carried it for a leg.

2:27 pm

MonkeyGames

The torch came past the front gate when I lived with my grandparents in La Jolla. We stood out there with a hose and sprayed (no, NOT the torch!) the heat-exhausted marathon runners as they went by. They were grateful.

2:27 pm

MonkeyGames

That was for the Los Angeles olympics.

2:28 pm

stidmama

cool, Monkey -- it was raining when the torch came here, no worries of heat exhaustion! That was for Salt Lake's games I think.

2:28 pm

jillibus

I'm sure there will be lots of picture in the local weekly paper on Wednesday.

2:28 pm

MonkeyGames

Where are you again?

2:29 pm

stidmama

near Olympia, Washington.

2:29 pm

jillibus

The thing about bridge is there are four people involved so one can't exactly ditch it!

2:29 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh, right. I forget stuff, you know?

2:29 pm

stidmama

you could maybe have set a card table up on the route? LOL

2:29 pm

jillibus

Monkey -- nice picture of you!

2:30 pm

jillibus

Very funny, stid.

2:30 pm

stidmama

I know only too well, Monkey. The last 5 weeks I have felt as if I forget more than the content we are supposed to be learning.

2:30 pm

nrkii

oh, I'm obviously not in a babble-brain state today... I got an4, but missed et4!

2:30 pm

stidmama

I didn't see et 4 until I listed, too.

2:30 pm

stidmama

but I got ob 6 without difficulty. My brain is weird right now.

2:31 pm

MonkeyGames

It DOES that to one, Stid! OK, the repeated insinuation of a dog's head between me and the screen with accompanying tossing-upward of my right arm is getting hard to discount. I'd better sign off for the night and get her out to "water" the patch of grass in the parking lot. Have fun al. It was great to "see" you Stid!

2:31 pm

nrkii

fireworks!

2:31 pm

stidmama

later Monkey!

2:31 pm

stidmama

YAY nrk!

Hello everyone, I have been absent for over a year due to my husband's dissected Aortic aneurism. Less than a 2% chance to make it, but he did. Now I am caretaker, so don't have much time to babble. Hope to do more. Rumplestiltskin

6:53 pm

Trifioso

6:59 pm

stidgmere

Well, Tri, we are a unique subculture. We are very independent and you all are what I think is called, clever.

7:00 pm

Trifioso

but of course, you are one of us too! and therefore, clever as well!!!!

7:00 pm

stidgmere

Ah, but it is not clever to think of oneself as clever. It is admired in others.

7:01 pm

stidgmere

If you could see me monkey on this grid, my clever rating would be very slight.

7:02 pm

jillibus

hello!

7:53 pm

lbdawger

hi jilli

7:53 pm

jillibus

have I just missed stidge?

7:53 pm

lbdawger

yes, she's gone to watch the ball game

7:54 pm

jillibus

I was hoping to catch her for a change :(

7:55 pm

jillibus

I'm going to watch the game too, but does anyone need clues?

7:58 pm

Pinikula

back all...checking in...everyone done? ;)

7:59 pm

jillibus

BTW, another bit of good news for us -- the pro Coldwater Surfing gold in Tofino, BC, went to a local boy over some surprised Aussie pros <big beaming smirk>

8:00 pm

Pinikula

well done, jilli!!! ;)

8:00 pm

jillibus

well, I didn't actually DO it, pini, lol!

8:01 pm

jillibus

And the Olympic flame went there today too.

8:01 pm

Pinikula

No, but you're sharing your exciting local news! :)

8:01 pm

Pinikula

You can pass the kudo's on to the winners if you like! * wink *

8:02 pm

jillibus

well, it's good to have good things happen :)

8:02 pm

Pinikula

Yes, I saw your profile...but (*pout*) you didn't see it because you were playing bridge...

8:02 pm

jillibus

I'm sorry about that!

8:03 pm

Pinikula

I know what you mean...

8:03 pm

jillibus

no offense, pini, but no apostrophe in kudos.

8:03 pm

jillibus

It's actually a singular Greek word!

8:04 pm

Pinikula

...the US Olympic Track and Field trials were held here on the campus where I work...I just couldn't miss going for a day...

8:04 pm

Pinikula

(I was thinking about that, jilli; I'll try not to correct myself on a doubt)

8:05 pm

jillibus

And even in the singular were kudo, no apostrophe is needed to make it a plural. The apostrophe would make it a possessive. Here endeth the pain-in-the-neck lesson.

8:05 pm

Pinikula

ROFL...no harm done, jilli...I work for doctors of english at the uni...

8:06 pm

jillibus

Pini, I couldn't just desert three other bridge players! It was hard enough to find a fourth this time!

8:07 pm

Pinikula

That makes sense, jilli...always tough to find willing victims, I mean partners, for a good card game!

8:07 pm

jillibus

And btw, pini, my grandson is now doing his Masters at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.

8:08 pm

Pinikula

Oh, congrats, jilli!!!!! That's so exciting!

8:08 pm

Pinikula

Is he liking it?

8:08 pm

jillibus

I take it you're not a big cards fan, lol!

8:08 pm

Pinikula

Oh, I am, jilli (not bridge tho; I have a hard enough time trying to find cribbage players)

8:09 pm

jillibus

I think he's loving it, but his girl-friend in Montreal is hating it.

8:09 pm

Pinikula

She's not keen on a long-distance relationship? ;)

8:09 pm

jillibus

Not a bit!

8:10 pm

jillibus

She's teaching Creative Writing to first-graders, according to her FB page.

8:10 pm

Pinikula

Poor thing...but if it's meant to be, then she'll hold out until he finishes his degree :)

8:10 pm

Pinikula

I'll bet she having fund getting their imaginations going!

8:10 pm

jillibus

yes -- if it's meant to be . . .

8:11 pm

jillibus

They're both almost 31.

8:11 pm

Pinikula

how long have they been "together" so far?

8:12 pm

Carolryberg

One to go

8:13 pm

Pinikula

you can do it, carol!

8:14 pm

jillibus

I think they celebrated their third anniversary a while ago. When grandson mentioned that, old-fashioned me said "Anniversary of what?" "Um," said grandson, "of when we hooked up." How romantic.

8:14 pm

Pinikula

ROFL

8:14 pm

Pinikula

too cute ;)

8:15 pm

lbdawger

hooked up, sounds like he got cable! lol

8:15 pm

jillibus

One could extrapolate from that, lbd, lol!

8:15 pm

Pinikula

...and here I was thinking "hooked up" as in IVs

8:15 pm

lbdawger

yeah, i thought i'd leave it at that! lol

8:17 pm

Pinikula

I need to check my email...brb

8:17 pm

jillibus

*waggling head*

8:17 pm

jillibus

8:18 pm

lbdawger

8:35 pm

Carolryberg

8:35 pm

Carolryberg

8:37 pm

Carolryberg
