rururocks

12:28 am

MetFan

Thanks, ruru, but I hate parmesan

12:29 am

cybernan

obviously a pasta I've never heard of!

12:29 am

rururocks

asiago?

12:29 am

rururocks

nan needs a pasta lesson

12:30 am

MetFan

No, being of Italian heritage, I go for the Locatelli Romano every time (pecorino if there's no Locatelli)

12:30 am

rururocks

oh,..I like pecorino

12:30 am

MetFan

cybernan

working on the ar 5 now

12:34 am

MetFan

Never heard of it? Nan, they even have it in Canada.....

12:35 am

Atalante

we don't really have it over here, babble was the first I'd heard of it and we have a *lot* of pasta!

12:35 am

cybernan

is it a brand name?

12:35 am

rururocks

it is a type or cut of pasta nan.. we have had it before

12:36 am

rururocks

sort of acne with an extra bit

12:36 am

MetFan

No, it's a VERY common type; when you get an informal affair catered, inevitably there's a big pan of baked zi4

12:36 am

Atalante

it's very uncommon here!

12:36 am

Atalante

I went looking for it one day, and couldn't find it in a specialist pasta shop

12:36 am

justafreep

why do people call me shortly after the flip?????

12:37 am

rururocks

penne is close enough atalante

12:37 am

MetFan

It's probably more common to the Italian community

12:37 am

Atalante

penne we have :)

12:37 am

anike

I've got 27 to go and really struggling now - is lickety here today?

12:37 am

12:37 am

Atalante

lol this was an Italian pasta shop. Owned by an ITalian, importing directly from Italy

12:37 am

MetFan

Lickety posted the clues

12:37 am

joshuavorbis

zi4 is often baked

12:38 am

rolin

its amazing you know....being here and remembering the effect of the cup...there is nothing like it here and england has such a long racing tradition...

1:49 am

mrpresident

The last time I bet on a race, was 3 years ago, it was a dog race and again I picked it cause it was 4th favourite.
This dog was running on three legs, coming dead last, and all of a sudden out of no where, it was first place! I won a lot of money on that beasty

1:49 am

rolin

ive never been to or bet on the dogss...but loved going to the races

1:50 am

mrpresident

neither had I rolin, and never have since

1:51 am

rolin

its all over so fast...when i was a kid i used to live in caulfield ..near the track..and indeed my high school looked over the track...on race day we had a student who ran a book..lol

1:51 am

rolin

ineed he went into booking in qld...

1:52 am

dizgrannie

rolin, you an ex aussie?

1:52 am

mrpresident

I am a non-gambler as it bores me, but by principle, I'll bet when I am out with friends at a betting fuction (one a year!)

1:53 am

mrpresident

Caulfield is a huge raceday!

1:53 am

rolin

yes diz...

1:54 am

mrpresident

How fantastic that would have been rolin! The Caulfield Cup is like the penultimate cup to the Melbourne Cup

1:54 am

jillibus

diz, if you click on rolin's icon you'll see her bio ;)

1:54 am

rolin

it is... and we lied a walk from the track...which meant we could get dressed to the nines and walk there...but always came home to ppl parked across or in our driveway...grrr

1:55 am

rolin

*lived

1:55 am

mrpresident

rolin, that is like our place on Xmas eve... just don't expect to get into your garage! LOL!!

1:56 am

rolin

G'd morning Babblers! How's this grid?

3:33 am

sprite

I found 2 words already, hi Lori

3:33 am

LoriP

I got rid of the a's. Gonna' do the e next, and vowels will be done. :/

3:33 am

Atalante

hi all :) hi lori :)

3:34 am

ohhhhhh your icon and text.... roflollllll

3:34 am

Haz1558

Good morning!

3:34 am

LoriP

mAta Hari!!!!!!!!!

3:34 am

sprite

lol... and ata too. You guys are bad

3:34 am

LoriP

G'd morning Hazaurus.

3:34 am

sprite

hi Haz! Ok, someone should get the message

3:34 am

LoriP

Not so much bad, as spoilt. :)

3:34 am

Atalante

*grin*

3:35 am

Atalante

don't we all look pretty :)

3:35 am

Haz1558

Bad? Us?

3:35 am

sprite

am literally laughing my pants off

3:35 am

Atalante

LMAO :D

3:36 am

sprite

what's about the folding team, Ata? What do you fold?

3:36 am

Haz1558

Yes, I'm intrigued as well. Do we learn how to fold our arms as petulantly as possible?

3:36 am

Atalante

oh, it's a crossy effort, stanford uni is using worldwide computers to process protein folding data for its medical research

3:36 am

P.J.

good morning all :>)

3:37 am

sprite

hiya PJ!

3:37 am

Haz1558

What a shame. I can fold my arms better than I could fold protein data.

3:37 am

LoriP

Mornin PJ

3:37 am

Haz1558

Good morning, P J.

3:37 am

sprite

I suggest adding a tapping foot, Haz

3:38 am

Haz1558

Yes, the tapping foot helps to set the tone, doesn't it?

3:38 am

Atalante

well you can contribute that to the effort :)

3:38 am

sprite

and what does being part of a folding team involve?

3:38 am

sprite

oh yes. Also, pointing the eyes upwards.

3:38 am

Atalante

not a lot lol, just letting your computer run the application when you're not using it

3:39 am

Haz1558

Okay, I'll fold and tap and frown and tut.

3:39 am

P.J.

hiya sprite,lori and Haz :>)

3:39 am

sprite

ah I see. My computer is off when I don't use it. Will fold laundry and arms instead.

3:40 am

sprite

beautiful image, Haz

3:40 am

P.J.

it sounds like you 3 are up to no good,I love it!!!

3:40 am

sprite

oh this is nice. Foreign currency on money symbol icon day. I like that.

3:41 am

sprite

As long as I am around, they will behave, PJ

3:41 am

Atalante

would we? *innocence*

3:41 am

Haz1558

How have you been, P J?

3:41 am

P.J.

I see! How is everyone?

3:42 am

LoriP

Them? Behave? hahahahahahahahahhahah

3:42 am

Haz1558

I'm fine - wondering how FMitch's move went yesterday.

3:42 am

sprite

pretty good today. Sis and her little girl are ill though, so I will go there this afternoon to make them feel better.

3:42 am

P.J.

I'm good just sorry summer is over and winter is comming on!

3:42 am

sprite

Silly Lori. They always behave. Sometimes good. Sometimes bad. Sometimes deplorable. But they do behave.

3:42 am

Atalante

Them? Are you excluding yourself?

3:43 am

sprite

have been thinking of FM, I bet it went ok. Intensive, but ok.

3:43 am

mrpresident

great icons... don't you all look .... 'bitchy'

3:43 am

sprite

*sends PJ a box of canned sun and wrapped warmth*

3:43 am

Haz1558

I know. I never look forward to the winter either.

3:43 am

P.J.

Is the flu as bad on your side of the pond as it is in the states?

3:43 am

LoriP

***feigns innocence*** Of course mAta Hari!

3:43 am

sprite

I agree, mrP. Lovely icons.

3:44 am

Haz1558

P J - the flu is taking more of a hold, children being affected more than adults. There's a vaccination programme underway.

3:44 am

P.J.

TY sprite I love it and will take all I can get!! :>)

3:44 am

LoriP

Flu? Gee, if only there were some type of media coverage to fill us in .......

3:45 am

sprite

PJ, we thought it wasn't at all bad. But now some children, otherwise very healthy, have died of it and that is changing the rules pretty fast. They are trying to get the children ........ (not stabbed by needle, but you know what I mean) first now.

3:45 am

Atalante

yes, it's bloody awful, I can vouch for that LOL

3:45 am

sprite

vaccinated, as Haz so eloquently put it

3:45 am

P.J.

All of the schools in my area have been closed up.

3:46 am

Haz1558

How long do they have to stay closed?

3:46 am

sprite

wow, schools closing, that will affect most of society.

3:46 am

Haz1558

It's not as bad as that here, I haven't heard of any schools closing.

3:46 am

P.J.

that is how it is here also! Very creepy is'nt it?

3:47 am

sprite

here neither

3:47 am

P.J.

most of them 3-5 days.

3:47 am

LoriP

This whole thing is being so hyped, the fear is palpable, and disproportionate.

3:47 am

sprite

everything threatening children is especially creepy. I told mine they haven't permission to get this flu. Or else.

3:48 am

Atalante

I think a few closed here at the start of the outbreak

3:48 am

Atalante

and you can actually survive swine flu. Really!

3:48 am

sprite

things were very low key here, Lori. But now that children have died, they are more serious about it.

3:49 am

sprite

Ata is the living proof. Well, proof anyway.

3:49 am

LoriP

Children have died with past seasonal flu as well, it just wasn't front page news.

3:49 am

Atalante

half living

3:49 am

P.J.

They have been running the school closeings across the bottom of the TV screen just like they do for bad weather!!

3:50 am

LoriP

People just need to step back and look at numbers instead of media bombardment, IMO. ***slides soap box to the left*** :p

3:50 am

sprite

not here, though. Small country. Deaths of children by flu is news here.

3:50 am

sprite

god I hate that kind of coverage. So glad we don't have that.

3:51 am

sprite

as long as it is the half with the brains, ata, you can play :)

3:51 am

LoriP

mAta Hari shoould write a tell all survivor book. It'd make millions.

3:52 am

sprite

lol yes, it would. " How I survived swine flu. Part 1."

3:52 am

Atalante

I'd outsell jordan. or maybe not

3:52 am

Haz1558

You could list the symptoms you did have and those you didn't and those which might just not have been discovered yet.

3:53 am

Haz1558

Things to look out for, that kind of thing.

3:53 am

sprite

and all remedies you tried, knowing and unknowing

3:53 am

Atalante

I could discuss my daily diet

3:54 am

Haz1558

What you did eat, what you didn't eat, what you would have liked to have eaten, what you definitely didn't want to eat.

3:54 am

LoriP

What color the sheets were in your sick room.

3:54 am

sprite

oh Ata, and don't leave out the part where a husband misgrudged you the cookies!

3:54 am

sprite

which, in the case of swine flu, is equal to an attempt on your life

3:54 am

Atalante

how much of it, precisely

3:55 am

Haz1558

Being begrudged cookies probably lowered your immune system's defences, thus leaving you vulnerable to the flu.

3:55 am

LoriP

What brand of tea you drank. there could be marketing potential there. No detail too small.

3:55 am

sprite

begrudge. Not misgrudge. I typed disgrudged first and corrected... into another wrong word

3:56 am

Atalante

I have to say, it was quite strange, the days I was really ill, I was *starving* all day, which is kinda odd for flu. I guess I was burning up so many calories with temp and shivering that I just needed food

3:56 am

LoriP

"Brand X tea cures swine Flue after 2-3 weeks"

3:56 am

Atalante

I actually rather like misgrudge!

3:56 am

Haz1558

We knew what you meant, sprite!

3:56 am

sprite

not just the brand, Lori, I think? Exactly when, how often and how much. God and health are in the details.

3:56 am

sprite

Feed a fever, starve a cold, isn't it, Ata?

3:56 am

LoriP

True sprite. With sugar? Milk? Black? As I said. No detail too small.

3:56 am

FishFishGarden

morning all....

3:57 am

sprite

thanks for educating me, though :) I do appreciate it. And I do remember.

3:57 am

Haz1558

In a mug or in a china cup?

3:57 am

LoriP

G'd morning FishFish

3:57 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Fish.

3:57 am

sprite

Hi Fishes

Starting to not like this grid

4:15 am

sprite

4:17 am

Atalante

Sily loves it

Atalante

4:28 am

sprite

Lori, that is called masochism. Not sure if there's a possible treatment for that though.

4:28 am

LoriP

Bears. I mean seriously, how obvious was that? ***sigh***

4:29 am

Atalante

as obvious as the stars in the sky

4:29 am

LoriP

Hush ! Leave me to suffer the indignity quietly.

Hello, FM

Scrabbler

If you challenge your GI tract too much after recovering from a virus--can puke again.

6:14 am

Marc Freeman

TY BR got it

6:14 am

hurshy

ahhh. so the second round shouldn't last more than a day either?

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Virus causes an ileus (intestines sort of "go to sleep" and don't move things along.) Also, lining of small intestine (the villi) get wiped out so the ability to digest/absorb food products is disrupted for days to weeks.

6:15 am

Scrabbler

You need probiotics--supplement or yogurt.

6:16 am

Wolvie

Hi Fm

6:16 am

Wolvie

Hi Scrabs, hurshy

6:21 am

Scrabbler

So sad when chemo effects lead to death although the cancer is retreating.

6:22 am

Wolvie

crossy - folding proteins as we speak.

6:22 am

It proves again how vital our immune system is on a daily basis---having no white blood cells to battle can be fatal.

My God! What awful words.

7:24 am

Trifioso

I am such a ritualistic being. are any of you that way? Everyday when I sign on to babble, first I have to go to the breast cancer site and click to donate a free mammogram. THEN I come on here and start the grid, always from the top left. then I go through the grid until I have NBT, and THEN I can chat. Today I cheated on the nbt thing, a little

7:25 am

Wolvie

not quite that bad on the nbt, but same type of stuff for starting the day. :-)

7:25 am

hego

I do the puzzle in the same way, yes.

7:26 am

Trifioso

i guess I find comfort, or at least surety in my little rituals.

7:27 am

Trifioso

well, except for the mammogram thing - I want to try to remember to click to donate every day, and doing it before I babble gives me permission to loaf in babble land, in some weird way

kadresa does the grid alphabetically

7:27 am

Wolvie

7:28 am

Trifioso

thanks wolvie. I also know some people that do the grid one tile at a time, complete it, and then move on

7:28 am

hego

once I get the list I go by the alphabet.

7:28 am

hego

You have to have some organization.

7:29 am

Trifioso

when I first started babbling, I was OBSESSED and had to finish it every day. Giving it up for LEnt last year was one of the best things I ever did. now I can live with just nbt on some days, or just doing my best. last night I fell asleep with 10 words to go. not my favorite thing, of course, but I can live with it.

7:31 am

tceicher

ahhhh, thank you

7:31 am

Trifioso

tc, it means "no blank tiles" which is to say, one word from each of the tiles, but I prefer to think of it as "naughty bits tingling" :)

7:42 am

Trifioso

cute story: I brought my kiddos over to car.eeyores' house yesterday, and we all trenched in and painted the kitchen and the hallway walls while her husband is away on a biz trip. we SWORE her little boys to secrecy, but last night, when her hubs called home to say hi, her littlest boy got on the phone and said "hi daddy! I am not going to talk to you about the walls!" SO FUNNY! I don't think he copped on, though....

7:44 am

jacq

lol trif, very cute

7:44 am

Trifioso

painting is one of my favorite home-y things to do. everything looks so clean and fresh, so quickly. it cheers up a home so quickly.

Judi

Morning, BR.

8:44 am

Anniebrook

Bye dear babblers.

8:44 am

Aloyisius

you can save me a piece of that meatloaf.. bye for now, Annie!

8:47 am

flosey

thanks for the idea Annie, love meatloaf and haven't made it in ages

8:47 am

Judi

lol. I just monkied the ur7. I have no idea what it means - even after I read the dictionary definition.

8:47 am

harpjane

good morning

8:47 am

Aloyisius

me either, flosey.. it IS a great idea!

8:48 am

Aloyisius

leftover meatloaf sandwiches, yum

Good morning, Harpjane!

8:50 am

flosey

no no no, don't like that red stuff - only keep it on hand for making baked beans

8:50 am

Aloyisius

ah, Grieg's piano concerto in A minor.. has me all revved up

8:51 am

flosey

love that music Aloy, remember buying the record for my mother well over 50 years ago

8:51 am

Aloyisius

and now Brahm's Academic Festival Overture.. wow, great start to the day.. love NPR

8:51 am

flosey

what is NPR?

8:51 am

Aloyisius

National Public Radio

8:52 am

SeaSpray

congrats trif

8:52 am

Judi

Way to go Trif!

8:52 am

flosey

ah, probably equivalent to our CBC

8:53 am

Aloyisius

we are lucky to have a number of NPR stations, so a choice of classical music.. at 10am, Dianne Rehm show for discussions on current issues.. good stuff

8:53 am

harpjane

could someone tell me how many letters in the corner A please?

8:54 am

Aloyisius

ar5 and as6 harp

8:54 am

harpjane

we have one NPR station and some folks are up in arms because they took away Car Talk!

8:54 am

harpjane

thanks alo

8:55 am

Aloyisius

yw.. those syndicated shows are expensive, so if there is not enough local support $$$ wise, some shows have to be chopped.. as you know, NPR depends on donors

8:55 am

Judi

GASP! Who would do such a cruel thing? Car Talk is the best show on public radio.

8:56 am

harpjane

I can live without them but they ARE amusing, aren't they?

8:57 am

Aloyisius

.. and you can learn a bit of helpful info. I wouldn't believe my hubby when he told me it made no difference on the octane you put into the car until I heard the same on Car Talk.. saves $$$

8:58 am

sciencegeek

my car gets better mileage with the mid grade octane

8:59 am

Aloyisius

howdy geek! how much better?

8:59 am

EvaNadine

do we have any babblers in NYC?

8:59 am

Aloyisius

Eva, I think Annie qualifies, but she is making a meatloaf right now

8:59 am

sciencegeek

a couple of miles per gallon - my subaru is 11 years old and i still get 27 on the highway

9:00 am

Judi

If your engine pings, sometimes a higher grade gasoline will cure it.

9:01 am

Aloyisius

that's what I heard, Judi.. so I listen for pinging, but so far.. no ping

9:02 am

EvaNadine

im gonna be in NYC for an overnight next week + i was looking for suggestions either on (1) somewhere to stay or (2) somewhere to go/something to do

9:03 am

Aloyisius

fireworks.. now I have to go play "beat the garbageman" and get stuff out to the curb.. Happy Babbling, all.. see you next grid! Pax. BR, if you are still here.. (-:

9:03 am

Judi

Broadway, Eva! Recommend you see either "The Producers" or "Spamalot". I think they're both still playing.

9:04 am

EvaNadine

lemme rephrase -- something CHEAP to do...
heh

9:05 am

harpjane

spring for it Eva, you won't be sorry!

9:05 am

Judi

Oh. Uh... panhandling? Otherwise, Central Park Zoo. Best to get online and search for cheap deals.

9:06 am

harpjane

the conservatory at Central Park is nice

9:06 am

harpjane

(at least it was, 35 years ago.... I keep forgetting that I never go anywhere any more!)

9:07 am

harpjane

In the 70's when I went to NYC I would go to movies, since they would not be released in Montana for 6 months!

9:07 am

Judi

Ferry ride out the Statue of Liberty isn't too expensive.

9:07 am

EvaNadine

harp -- any other time i would, since i LOVE the theater.
but alas, my trip is to look for wedding dresses and i need to save up money for said wedding...

9:08 am

harpjane

the Macy's women's restroom has a nice lounge and very interesting people! lol

9:08 am

bronx zoo is great

9:08 am

Atalante

Spamalot is sooo amazing

Riding the subway is always an adventure.

I am 15 minutes from Manhattan in NJ

9:16 am

Clue for Sa7, please?

9:16 am

NM. I just found it. Duh.

roll over the flag? huh?

9:18 am

would love to go to NYC, but saving for a car. but will check the mega bus or something like that

9:18 am

Rollover, Bethoven?

9:18 am

I used to get there more often.

mom2han8

I find this grid difficult... only down to 60 and have been at it for some time.

9:19 am

Nef

Morning all. Peri, where are you? We have the mega bus here in the Twin Cities to go to Chicago and Milwalkee; didn't know it went elsewhere

9:19 am

Judi

Hiya, Nef!

9:20 am

periwinkle

Phila

9:20 am

periwinkle

not sure but think it goes from Balt to NYC

9:20 am

Nef

morning Judi. How are you today?

9:20 am

harpjane

I"m trying to get 1030 in "who's hot" so I have to get every grid for 30 days. I think I have jlust five or six days to go.

9:20 am

mom2han8

My sister used to live in Philly... she took the train home all the time... definitely one from Philly that comes in to Grand Central (probably at least daily).

9:20 am

Nef

I've told DH that one of these days we are going to take the mega bus to Chicago

9:20 am

periwinkle

go harp!!

9:21 am

Nef

harp, you can do it! Keep on keeping on! :-D

9:21 am

periwinkle

there is a less expensive way to to go NYC, go to Trenton then take the NJ train to NYC. At least this was available 10years ago

9:22 am

periwinkle

would be faster than the bus

9:22 am

mom2han8

That may be how my sister did it... I don't know, but I know she took the train to Grand Central.

9:23 am

periwinkle

don't know whether to go now or wait a while and go to see the xmas decorations

9:23 am

periwinkle

brb

9:23 am

mom2han8

Nothing like Christmas in NY!

9:24 am

flosey

Fireworks, last word sa7

9:24 am

Nef

for DH and myself, the round trip tickets for the mega bus to Chicago would be $40.00. There can't be anything cheaper than that in the US

9:24 am

mom2han8

flosey... to have enough

9:25 am

mom2han8

From where Nef? Minneapolis/St Paul?

9:25 am

flosey

finished mom, just saying what my last word was

9:25 am

Nef

WTG, flosey! YAY!!!!

9:25 am

harpjane

is the 8 a compound word?

9:25 am

mom2han8

sorry flosey I misunderstood

9:25 am

mom2han8

no harp... it means to have enough related to the sa4/4

9:26 am

Nef

yes, mom. Even driving would cost more than that for 2 tanks of gas

9:26 am

flosey

np mom, thanks for clue - someone will pick it up

9:26 am

harp; to live in the best places in the world (in our own opinions) we all make sacrifices; don't we? I think that the Twin Cities are the best place in the world; you probably think that MT is. We all have to deal with some sort of "hardships" to do that

10:11 pm

joey

yes

10:12 pm

Jacula

Any hope of reconstruction in the future, or aren't you bothered? Partner's Mum didn't go for one.

10:12 pm

jmcnrick

last we 4/8?

10:13 pm

joey

i had reconstruction on the left. The plastic surgeon that i am going to really wants to give me "cute" ones. i might

10:13 pm

Pinikula

10:13 pm

Jacula

joey - so long as they match!

10:13 pm

jmcnrick

i thought that was the 4/9 pini

10:13 pm

joey

I hate to admit this in public but i love to sunbath topless. feels so good. at this point, i don't feel comfortable in public doing that

10:14 pm

Pinikula

oh, sorry, jmc...

10:14 pm

Pinikula

10:15 pm

Jacula

joey - no shame in that. You do whatever it takes to make you feel comfortable again.

10:16 pm

joey

i just haven't decided yet. something will be done though, either taking out the implant on the left or adding the right and fixing the left

10:16 pm

Jacula

Just make sure you get plenty of sunblock on the new ones when you get 'em, Joey!

10:16 pm

jmcnrick

i think i am going to hit the hay

10:16 pm

10:18 pm

Jacula

My partner's Mum got a right chest that was tanned deeply at the top and lily white at the bottom after her mastectomy.

10:18 pm

joey

that is too funny........ but you are right. the underneath might be white.

10:19 pm

Jacula

No nipple on it, for obvious reasons. You can have a new one made, even one that feels, but that does mean some butchering of other sensitive parts.:-(

10:19 pm

joey

i had one made, they took the skin from the inside of my leg.............

10:20 pm

Jacula

Was that one that 'feels', Joey? 'Cos from research I've done, you need labial shavings to get that.

10:21 pm

jillibus

welcome to the club, joey -- I have one and a half boobs as of nearly 10 years ago and the one keeps getting bigger so I'd kinda like to get it shrunk!

10:22 pm

joey

no, no feels. i wasn't given the option in 1995, i wonder if that will come up now

10:22 pm

Jacula

Partner's Mum, being older, just asked his Dad, 'Will you still love me if I've only got one boob?' and looked no further than that. And, of course he still loves her.

10:22 pm

joey

Jilibus, that is very understandable. i had the same situation

10:23 pm

jillibus

Seems it's quite common!

10:23 pm

Jacula

Hi Jilli. I suppose you could have the bigger one's extras moved to the smaller ones?

10:23 pm

joey

Jac, that is very wise.

10:23 pm

jillibus

Nah, jac, can't really be bothered at my age ;)

10:24 pm

jillibus

Anyway, I prefer the size of the smaller one.

10:25 pm

joey

I hope I may digress for a moment. I am a reader, when the novel the Valley of the Dolls came out many years ago, one of the women in the "harem" went for a biopsy, the leader of the harem saw the bandage and went ballistic. the woman got the cancer diagnosis and committed suicide. For some reason that stuck with me all these years. I remember thinking then what a shallow man, and I still feel that way

10:25 pm

Jacula

I'm very fond of my boobs. They've not troubled me yet (other than growing pains when they were announcing their arrival), they're not too big or too small. I'd miss them if I didn't have them, so, I would go for a reconstruction and I'd like 'nipples' but not sure about feeling ones if it means having bits shaved off my other nice place.

10:26 pm

jillibus

joey, thank goodness times and most men have changed

10:27 pm

Jacula

I read Valley of The Dollls back in the 70s butt don't really remember it. I can only echo what Jilli just posted.
