2:28 am

grannyrose

you have to tell me, i have to know, does crossy like just the feather, or do you have to use the whole chook?

2:29 am

Elegant

"slap" you were told Crossy. Behave yourself..

2:29 am

grannyrose

jilli, ist time, ignorant, 2nd time a mistake, 3rd time deliberate, and therefore punishable.

2:30 am

crosshair

sigh..bring spouses in here and the whole place falls apart;/

2:30 am

jillibus

that was no mistake

2:30 am

Elegant

He requires a firm hand, constant supervision like watching a toddler.

2:31 am

grannyrose

2:31 am

Hi, Hego. I'm at my cousins, intending to go home, but there's a lot of fog so rather than test the driving, I decided to babble a bit while she checks her email.

7:48 am

For the first time in recent memory, I am not hosting Thanksgiving. My nephew is doing the honors and all I had to prepare was my famous apple pie. It's in the freezer ready to bake for the big day.

7:49 am

EvaNadine

we usually alternate between my family + chris's on thanksgiving. this year is technically my familys turn, but my mom is in Australia this month, so his family wins out and gets us yet again. :)

Haz1558

So, your chance to have a little babble time!

8:45 am

Becca Lorum

I only seem to be here when the grids are tiny and really diffiult or enormous. I haven't finished one in ages.

8:46 am

Haz1558

We seem to have had a run of not very big grids. The small ones can be a bit of a worry because the words aren't exactly well known sometimes.

8:47 am

Becca Lorum

I'm terrible at small grids! They always seem to be full of really obscure words

8:47 am

Becca Lorum

Just like today's grid, in fact.

8:48 am

ty got ag 7

9:06 am

Becca Lorum

Is the 8 related to one of the 7s?

9:06 am

mkg

cuppa?????????????

9:06 am

Haz1558

No, it's a kind of combination of lots of the io words.

9:06 am

Haz1558

Cup. As used to drink.

9:07 am

Becca Lorum

Hmm, better find some io words then.

9:07 am

Becca Lorum

Still on c at the moment so it will have to wait.

9:07 am

Haz1558

Or put the consumed food ending to the io5/12. (think stingy antiseptic)

9:08 am

Becca Lorum

Thank you Haz.

9:08 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Becca.

9:08 am

hego

Haz, can you clue either of the te 6,21 s pls?

9:09 am

Haz1558

te6 - both are musical terms and only differ from each other in the last vowel used. Follow a number with the initials of a sort of infection.

9:09 am

hego

Hmmmm. ty haz

9:09 am

Haz1558

Or, te plus what a squirrel likes to hide/eat, wrap up with a vowel (two different ones)

9:10 am

Judi

Sigh. Another small grid.

9:10 am

hego

ty hz. Hi judi

9:10 am

Haz1558

Hello, Judi. Le understanding sigh.

9:10 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, hego.

9:11 am

Judi

I think Dr. God has put us on a Babble di4/5.

9:11 am

Becca Lorum

Haz, do you know all these words, or do you have very hard-working monkeys?

9:11 am

hego

lol judi

9:12 am

Haz1558

No, I know some of them, the rest I find by using hints by earlier babblers, combined with Lickety's list and morewords.

9:13 am

Haz1558

Then I try to remember some of them for the next time.

9:13 am

Judi

The short answer, Becca, is: Haz cheats.

9:13 am

Becca Lorum

Oh, good, that makes me feel better. I have Lickety's list and morewords open too.

9:13 am

Haz1558

Darn. My secret is out.

9:13 am

Becca Lorum

It's not cheating, it is using tools effectively.

9:13 am

Haz1558

I cheat big time.

9:14 am

Haz1558

Thank you, Becca. Let's direct a great big raspberry in Judi's direction.

9:14 am

Becca Lorum

*Joins in raspberry blowing*

9:15 am

Becca Lorum

I have just seen on the news that students are being allowed to use the internet during exams, so if that's not cheating, using extra info for Babble is certainly not cheating!

9:15 am

Haz1558

Satisfying, isn't it?

9:15 am

Judi

I should expand on that by saying, Haz cheats like the rest of us.

9:16 am

Haz1558

Where is this outrage taking place, Becca?

9:16 am

Becca Lorum

England I think - A-level Danish, or something

9:16 am

Haz1558

We use research tools effectively - isn't that the right phrase?

Becca Lorum

Crazy, in my opinion.

9:18 am

Haz1558

It'll probably spread. My sister-in-law is a teacher and declares that some of her students seem to think she's letting them down by not doing their exams for them.

9:19 am

Becca Lorum

I was interested in the concerns over plagiarism. My husband is a lecturer and has such a lot of plagiarism to deal with now, because students just lift whole blocks of information from the internet.

9:20 am

Becca Lorum

although he says it is easy to spot because an essay will go from poor grammar and expression to perfect writtten English!

not totally helping, but better than i was!

1:06 pm

jmcnrick

ata the cavewoman

1:06 pm

Atalante

UNIIIIII!!!!

1:07 pm

jmcnrick

I once paid over $100 to get my hair done by a chi-chi hairdresser (had to have an appointment just to get him to decide if he wanted to do your hair) and it looked exactly the same afterwords except puffier

1:08 pm

jmcnrick

fake fur no doubt

1:08 pm

Atalante

$100! I wish I could get my hair done for that much, espceially up in London

1:09 pm

Uniquity

I get my hair done for $15 from the same woman who has done it since I was ten. I love her.

1:09 pm

MPittore

maybe if you wore that fur in...hmmmm

1:09 pm

Uniquity

I'm just reading an article about the translucent jumbo octopus and all the other new sea creatures found. Very cool!

1:10 pm

jmcnrick

that was in 1970's which in today's dollars is about $380

1:10 pm

Atalante

very very verrrrry cool

1:10 pm

jmcnrick

gosh I love her too uni --- maybe I should come up there

1:10 pm

jmcnrick

*imagining a translucent octopus*

1:11 pm

KatieMcG

mine is usually about Â£80!

1:11 pm

Atalante

mine's Â£70 down here, but up in London it used to be about Â£160

1:11 pm

Uniquity

I need to book an appointment to get my hair cut when i go home still. Remember!

1:11 pm

jmcnrick

Mine is free because I gave up on it. I get it cut every two years whether it needs it or not -- by my sister

1:11 pm

Atalante

how' Emma the CoG?

1:12 pm

torgone

I cut my own hair with a $12 hair clipper ..

1:12 pm

Atalante

husband thinks I shuld do the same

1:12 pm

jmcnrick

when are you next going home uni and I will put on my calendar to remind you

1:12 pm

Uniquity

She was just biting my hand, which implies she is in good spirits. I forgot to talk to her as soon as I walked in the house and she is a bit miffed.

1:13 pm

Atalante

awwwww, you can't forget the cat!

1:13 pm

jmcnrick

hair clippers don't work well on long hair trog

1:13 pm

jmcnrick

*giggle* torg

1:14 pm

MPittore

Amazing Uni...if I wake up in the wee hours and squint my eyes really tight and tilt my head just right the man I married looks like a beautiful sea creature, a merman...of course this works really well after a night of margueritas and such...

1:15 pm

Uniquity

I wrote it in my agenda. Likely a better reminder.

1:15 pm

jmcnrick

what was the clue for the U? The chog has moved past it an I forgot.

1:15 pm

Uniquity

And wahoo for margueritas! It's even Monday! Although I tend to make daiquiris due to a lack of tequila.

1:15 pm

KatieMcG

I dared to go to the toilet when I got in from work and Crumble barged through the door demanding attention and to be fed, she really needs to know that there is a time and place and that was neither

1:15 pm

Uniquity

How's Hobbit and Sily?

1:15 pm

jmcnrick

*sulks at uni's disparaging remark*

1:16 pm

Uniquity

Emma butts up against the door until itn opens or we open it when we use the loo. It's one of her places. She needs to be there.

1:16 pm

sammysmom

I LOVE IT WHEN I HEAR THAT OTHER PEOPLE CUT THEIR OWN HAIR

1:16 pm

Uniquity

Aww, *soothes jmc's feathers* I just mean that my babbling is not all that reliable!

1:16 pm

sammysmom

yesterday hubby and i went to "Mr walter's" and had our hair done

1:17 pm

jmcnrick

and clearly you are so excited you are shouting about it! lol

1:17 pm

KatieMcG

I work on the principle that they have trained for years for a reason and I haven't so let them at it

1:17 pm

sammysmom

mr walter is our sone and he did all three of us which would have cost about 100 $ and a cut rate salon

1:17 pm

jmcnrick

oo well I am probably hypersensative uni -- (just trying to fit in) ;-)

1:17 pm

Uniquity

I have curly hair. No-one cuts my hair but the one person who has done it right every time.

1:17 pm

sammysmom

and we all look great

1:18 pm

Uniquity

Are we being hypersensitive today? Let me try! :)

1:18 pm

Atalante

hobbit and sily are fine :) hobbit's sulking cos she didn't get a walk today

1:18 pm

jmcnrick

makes sense uni, my hair is pretty straight and all it needs is a chopped across the bottom

1:18 pm

jmcnrick

poor abused hobbit

1:19 pm

Uniquity

Neglect! Abuse! Starvation! I can see her muscles degrading from here.

1:20 pm

jmcnrick

*looking up animal rescue league's phone number*

1:20 pm

Atalante

I know! It's awful. Only two short bounces around the garden all day

1:20 pm

Uniquity

Pretty soon she'll be nothing but a fur.

1:20 pm

jmcnrick

then ata can wear her

1:20 pm

Atalante

she's wasting away

1:20 pm

Gail

Oh, I cut my own hair, too! One day a woman came in the office and said "tell me where you get your hair cut, so I can go there and get the same style."

1:21 pm

Uniquity

I'll have to send FM over to save Hobbit from the horrors of her life.

1:21 pm

jmcnrick

did you charge her for the hair cut? lol

1:22 pm

Gail

I won't cut anybody else's hair, I would totally mess it up.

1:22 pm

Uniquity

Oh, I have a visitor. Must go! Lovely to see you all. Watch out for furs and starving cockers.

1:22 pm

jmcnrick

bye uni!

1:22 pm

Atalante

bye dear!

1:23 pm

jmcnrick

I would think it was harder to cut your own hair -- I am constantly butchering my bangs

1:24 pm

sixty7stang13

sorry to interrupt can someone clue DA5/12 please

1:24 pm

Gail

I just tell myself I will go get it cut if I spoil it, and go on from there. I have left the house looking odd a few times, but I don't care.

1:25 pm

pythonx

obviously Babble doesn't speak Canadian, since it isn't accepting "toonie"

1:25 pm

dcseain

but does it take poutine

1:25 pm

Gail

DA5/12 haS one more consonant in it.

1:26 pm

pythonx

1:26 pm

sixty7stang13

1:27 pm

Gail

Atalante

pythonx

1:27 pm

dcseain

oh, wonderful, gail!

1:28 pm

Gail

I hope I get the shoe back on at the end of the day. I have to be in the boot when I am walking.

1:28 pm

Gail

I went to work, of course.

1:28 pm

pythonx

you should have went someplace fun

1:28 pm

torgone

One more consonant than what??

1:29 pm

dcseain

da5 as di5

1:29 pm

I was at physical therapy this morning, which is right next door to our office and went through the back door. My border collie waited until the boss was busy and figured out how to open the door and came looking for me, the she and the PT dog had a great time racing back and forth between the two offices.

1:36 pm

I had been gone longer than usual, so he got tired of waiting for me, and nobody saw him sneak through the door.

5:16 pm

jmcnrick

hi mag

5:16 pm

Haz1558

Come, come, MP, you need to get some strategy going. Don't let this lot fool you into thinking they're nice and kind. Cutthroat competition underneath it all.

5:16 pm

magazinemom

hey jmc- how are you?

5:16 pm

I suppose they've all muttered about needlecases?

5:19 pm

Atalante

et + you + me

5:20 pm

Atalante

yep yep much muttering

5:20 pm

Haz1558

et4/5 e plus the initials for an infection mixed up.

5:20 pm

Shirlockc

clues for the ou?

5:20 pm

MPittore

ty Ata...finally HS french paid off! LOL

5:21 pm

Haz1558

And once you get it, MP, never, ever forget it for it is a babblet. It also appears (not in this grid) with a variant, phonetic spelling.

5:21 pm

MPittore

ty Haz...

5:21 pm

Haz1558

(Lulling MP into a false sense of security with my clues and helpful advice)

5:22 pm

Haz1558

ou5 - the exact opposite of stay in.

5:23 pm

MPittore

Haz I am too new to understand what a babblet is but I am trying hard...this is approx my eighth grid so I'm peddlin' uphill...

5:23 pm

Atalante

I suppose I'd better try and sleep. If one can sleep with a murderer on the loose in the same county!!! lol

5:23 pm

magazinemom

well that's a little scary ata

5:23 pm

Atalante

*escaped murderer even

5:23 pm

zoozzoom

Murderer..what have i missed?

5:23 pm

Reese\'s

murderer?? are u for real?

5:24 pm

Haz1558

A babblet (get a notebook and pen so that you can take notes) is a word that appears frequently in babble but rarely in real life. Things like etna and crwth and inia and nene.

5:24 pm

magazinemom

scary!!!

5:24 pm

Atalante

Jane Andrews absconded from some women's prison in Kent - the woman who used to work for Fergie and killed her husband

5:24 pm

Haz1558

Is it that Jane Andrews woman?

5:24 pm

Haz1558

I saw that in the news. That woman just doesn't know when to give up.

5:24 pm

Atalante

yep, I'm sure they will find her dead though. Really sad

5:24 pm

Shirlockc

thx haz for the ou

5:24 pm

dan2bit

there are at least a couple babblets in this grid - hi all!

5:25 pm

magazinemom

and I was worried beacuse some committed an armed robbery at the house round the corner from me....murderer is a bit more scary

5:25 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome, Shirlock.

5:25 pm

Reese\'s

oh wow im sorry ata

5:25 pm

magazinemom

hi dan

5:25 pm

Haz1558

So, not just a publicity stunt you think?

5:25 pm

Atalante

lol I think I'd be more worried with your scenario!

5:25 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Dan

5:26 pm

Atalante

I don't think so. She was in hospital last week having tried to kill herself. And if you can't kill yourself in prison, what do you do when you're allowed outside .....

5:26 pm

magazinemom

oh some guy was murdered in a gang shooting just up the street back in oct. and I live in a nice neighobrhood. lol

5:26 pm

Haz1558

Oh dear. I hadn't heard that about her being in hospital. Maybe they'll catch up with her.

5:27 pm

Haz1558

She'll hardly have sought advice from Fergie?

5:27 pm

Atalante

I hope so. Yes she's an attention seeking murderer. And shes obviously quite delusional and ill

5:27 pm

Reese\'s

mhhh the only scary thing ecer happening around here was an armed robbery where the cashier was shot, he lived thank god

5:28 pm

Atalante

*but shes ....

5:28 pm

Haz1558

Absolutely. From time to time you get a story like hers and conclude that you couldn't make it up.

5:28 pm

Reese\'s

ever*

5:28 pm

Atalante

exactly! wonder who is already snapping up the film rights

5:29 pm

Haz1558

Michael Winner?

5:29 pm

MPittore

ty haz...jotted them down...3 left for me ta5/14, te5/12, to4/4

5:29 pm

Haz1558

If he can stir himself from the table.

5:29 pm

Atalante

this woman - by the way - from you lot over the pond, was the PA and dresser to Fergie after getting to work for royalty from a very pooor upbringing. she was let go, then was found guilty of killing her very rich boyfriend cos he wouldn't marry her. and then she made up all sorts of weird tales during her trial to excuse herself

5:30 pm

Atalante

ANYONE but Michael Winner!

5:30 pm

Haz1558

ta5/14 - sounds a bit like a striped cat pronounced Boston style.

5:30 pm

Shirlockc

5:31 pm

Haz1558

5:31 pm

Shirlockc

yep, got that, need the 5

5:32 pm

Haz1558

5:32 pm

Shirlockc

sorry, the 6

5:32 pm

Atalante

she's obviously utterly delusional as well as bad. It's just sad really. for everyone

5:32 pm

magazinemom

thanks haz....how I despise that word LOL

5:32 pm

Haz1558

to4/4 - a foot digit wrapped up with a vowel.

5:32 pm

Haz1558

Note that the to4/4 is also considered a babblet.

5:33 pm

magazinemom

5:33 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome, magmom.

5:33 pm

Atalante

5:34 pm

Haz1558

Hi Stid

6:41 pm

yes, I saw that, inge! that is a frustration of an organism that mutates as quickly as influenza strains

6:42 pm

Bugsaw

And the H1N1 tried to kill my nephew who is very immundeficient with other compounding health issues and he won. So it is not that scary!! Be brave and eat turkey!

8:12 pm

Pinikula

yikes...

8:12 pm

stidmama

I think you probably need to put ice on the area to numb it up a little, and probably paracetamol (or however you spell it) for the pain? -- what the UK equivalent of Tylenol is.

8:12 pm

lbdawger

if men took the trouble to take precautions, there wouldn't be as many unplanned births!

9:12 pm

Pinikula

Oh...does anyone here "scrapbook"?

9:12 pm

stidmama

I think the moody adolescent will be okay in the morning... was supposed to memorize something (and usually manages to memorize much longer passages easily) then found out he has one day less to have it done. So panicked he isn't focusing on what he CAN do, just what he CAN'T

9:12 pm

stidmama

hm. okay feather. shall we trade now, or wait until morning?

9:33 pm

stidmama

9:34 pm

Pinikula

I got to see the finished product last week...it looks just like it did online!

9:34 pm

stidmama

it's nifty!

9:34 pm

Pinikula

Yes, stid...that's Camo's mom ;)

9:35 pm

stidmama

oh! I was just reminded... I helped a newbie judge on Saturday, and as I was explaining how Public Forum works, the young man said, "SEXY!"

I started to giggle, and all the kids (none of them over 18) looked at me -- I had to explain that I was SO OLD that I had never heard that word used that way!

9:35 pm

stidmama

*feeling elderly*

9:35 pm

lbdawger

lol, stid

9:35 pm

Pinikula

too funny, stid!

9:36 pm

stidmama

thought you'd like that story! *grin*

9:37 pm

stidmama

I had so much fun on Saturday, I will help at the tournament in three weeks, too. That will be after the last day of classes for me, so I will have more time to just "hang out" and watch other events, too.

9:38 pm

Pinikula

Oh, and I have to let you know that Camo mom's baby pictures resemble Camo boy so much it's like he's a doppleganger to her! :)

9:38 pm

Pinikula

That must feel good, stid! (especially after you seemed to be stressed)...

9:39 pm

Pinikula

(but that might have been due to school, too)

9:39 pm

stidmama

oh man, pini! my younger son and I were like that. Of course, once he got taller than 5'3 that ended! LOL (and I am WAY curvier!)

9:40 pm

lbdawger

i hope you are way curvier!

9:40 pm

Pinikula

* giggle *

9:40 pm

stidmama

oh, I was terrified that I was going to be a terrible judge, pini, but I realized that I could apply the same philosophy to judging that I will to teaching... you have to start somewhere

9:41 pm

DR1965

ok back- sorry for the in and out- we are building a colonial town hall that is due tomorrow

9:41 pm

stidmama

:-D a bit, LBD, but getting less so. Tom wants to buy me a replacement ring for the wedding ring I lost a couple weeks ago... but I want him to wait until my weight stabilizes. I can't believe it fell off my hand and I didn't notice.

9:41 pm

stidmama

oh DR, I know tht feeling only TOO WELL!

9:41 pm

car.eeyore

Good evening everyone! May I please have a clue for ta 5/14?

9:41 pm

Hi Car

9:42 pm

stidmama

I think... ta + vowel + abbreviate state north of florida

9:43 pm

stidmama

I think it fell off in a store. Or in the yard. Or at school... it wasn't expensive, only a $25 silver ring, but the sentimental value was high of course

9:43 pm

car.eeyore

TY! Got it!

9:43 pm

Wow Stid! that is great!

9:45 pm

lbdawger

you really are sensitive to wheat! but rather avoid wheat than be out with the headaches.

9:45 pm

lbdawger

BJ!!!

9:45 pm

stidmama

BJ!!! (((((HUGS AND CHOCLIT))))) this is wonderful to see you again so soon! how are you?

9:45 pm

harpjane

brandy! long time so see!

9:46 pm

brandyjack

unfortunately, wheat is used everywhere. avoiding it is a PITA.

9:46 pm

brandyjack

like you avoiding wheat to avoid migraines.....

9:46 pm

stidmama

yep. so now add wheat to the bovine/ungulate; eggplant/okra; hibiscus... I am glad to identify it, because I really hate migraines more than I like wheat.

9:47 pm

car.eeyore

I will have to avoid life then...that's what triggers mine!!!

9:47 pm

DR1965

9:48 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

Hello Min!

9:48 pm

DR1965

Hi Min

9:48 pm

stidmama

on the other hand, I feel SO MUCH better that I really don't mind.

9:48 pm

lbdawger

hello Min. welcome to the grid! how are you tonight?

9:48 pm

brandyjack

same here, but the rice bread is positively poisonous. Although my sens of smell and tase has gone pretty much completely. only taste I have left is the buds on the tongue for sweet/salty/sour/fatty etc.

9:48 pm

lbdawger

ti6, boobs

9:49 pm

Minveryork

That ti6/18 word is slang word for breast car.eeyore

9:49 pm

stidmama

I hear you, BJ. my complaint about most of the rice substitutes is that they are gritty... but we have found some nut-based flours that work pretty well for me.

9:50 pm

car.eeyore

Good grief! Sorry!

9:50 pm

brandyjack

have to avoid stuff like soy suace, teryaki, anything with malted barley (most chocolate bars), most cereals.....

9:50 pm

lbdawger

can you use potatoe flour?

9:50 pm

stidmama

BJ! Is that YOU in the icon? LOL love the braids!

9:50 pm

lbdawger

yikes, BJ, what do you subsist on?

9:51 pm

brandyjack

Yep, dat's me.

9:51 pm

stidmama

yes I can, LBD -- Mother introduced me to it recently -- she now makes chiffon cakes with potato flour for me

9:51 pm

stidmama

oh oh... that is rough BJ. is that because of the fermentation?

9:51 pm

brandyjack

meat, eggs, veggies, fruit etc.

9:52 pm

Minveryork

I'm well lbdawger.Just one more day to my work week

9:52 pm

lbdawger

that's nice, Min.

9:52 pm

stidmama

I have met someone with such an allergy to fermented products that once an apple is juiced it must be consumed within about 10 minutes.

9:52 pm

brandyjack

No it's because it is made with soy and wheat and fermented.

9:52 pm

stidmama

hello Min! welcome to the grid!

9:52 pm

Minveryork

Hello stidmama! How are you?Thanks for the welcome

9:53 pm

stidmama

I see. they tend to "adulterate" foods with either wheat, soy or milk... and sometimes all at once!

9:53 pm

brandyjack

and you'll find that if wheat sets you off, then barley and rye will too. Might have to hunt down the special oats even that gaurantees no cross-pollination with barley or rye.

9:53 pm

Pinikula

brb

9:54 pm

lbdawger

11:48 pm

rururocks

jeez.. granny.. are you in a lot of pain

11:49 pm

grannyrose

i know.but being in the camwalker boot, allows the bones to soften.

11:49 pm

hootowl

Do stress fractures go crack?

11:49 pm

grannyrose

tickles a bit, when walking.

11:49 pm

Pinikula

tickles?

11:49 pm

grannyrose

um, yes,hoot.

11:50 pm

rururocks

11:53 pm

Pinikula

oh, ouch! I think they say, "torn"

11:53 pm

grannyrose

hoot, surgeon thinks it might have just been air in the joint, sort of like cracking your knickles

11:53 pm

Pinikula

but I'm not a doctor...so...

11:53 pm

grannyrose

that's knuckles, but nickels works too

11:53 pm

hootowl

i see I guess.

11:53 pm

hootowl

11:54 pm

grannyrose

11:55 pm

Pinikula

oh, pain meds can be awesome!

11:55 pm

hootowl

If you can get them...

11:55 pm

grannyrose

the doc martens are doing are good job supporting the ankle, too

11:55 pm

Bugsaw

do you have brittle bones grannyrose

11:55 pm

Pinikula

good to hear, granny...

11:56 pm

grannyrose

hint...take shares in the company which makes oxycodone and endone. i predict their price is on the rise. * grin *

11:56 pm

hootowl

May I inquire how you did the damage granny?

11:57 pm

grannyrose

bugs, it's because of having to wear the camwalker for so long. the bones soften after a while.

11:58 pm

grannyrose

hoot, originally stressed fractured at work, did not twist, sprain, just was walking

11:58 pm

Bugsaw

but isn't a camwalker a kind of removeable cast? I am wondering if this is something you must be very careful of forever. that would be harsh

11:59 pm

MLFAN17

hello

11:59 pm

Pinikula

hi mlf

11:59 pm

MLFAN17

Hi pinik

11:59 pm

grannyrose

you're right, bugs, but the doc martens come half way up my calf, thus allowing the muscles around the bones to work, thus strengthening the bone

11:59 pm

Bugsaw

hi to everyone coming

11:59 pm

hootowl

Wow - just walking? That's doubly horrible!

11:59 pm

grannyrose

hey mlf.....

11:59 pm

Bugsaw
