we watched Moir and Virtue again tonight so beautiful

1:51 am

Christine

If you can have henchman, why not hench??

1:51 am

westford

my question too Christine

1:52 am

jillibus

good question, christine

1:52 am

jillibus

west, I could watch them over and over -- such grace and expression

1:52 am

westford

she is exquisite

1:53 am

jillibus

he's not so bad either ;)

1:53 am

westford

remember Torville and Dean? not sure if that's the right spelling

1:53 am

westford

no he's not bad but she is beauty personified

1:54 am

westford

heard they've been together since 7 and 9

1:54 am

Christine

Still have that odd picture for my icon ...

1:55 am

westford

did dart leave? I missed him going

1:55 am

jillibus

west, I heard that a Brit skating expert agreed that we now have our own Torvill and Dean -- actually he said we have our own Bolero

1:55 am

westford

oh Christine I love that cat picture

1:56 am

westford

jilli that is so true

1:56 am

westford

I'd forgotten they skated to Bolero I remember now

1:56 am

jillibus

I agree with you about her beauty

1:58 am

westford

I didn't care for the silver medal winners they were good but too much athletics

1:59 am

jillibus

I hope they keep the compulsory dance (they talk about eliminating it) -- otherwise I worry that it will become too althletic and more and more like pairs

2:00 am

jillibus

they must remember it's ice DANCE

2:01 am

westford

I hope so too I didn't realize they were talking about eliminating it

2:02 am

jillibus

yes, they would reduce the competition to just two events instead of the present three :(

2:02 am

westford

who decides?

2:03 am

jillibus

the Internationsl Skating Federation or something, I guess

2:04 am

westford

oh not the host country

2:05 am

westford

I heard Russia was not too pleased with their athletes

2:05 am

westford

they aren't used to losing

2:06 am

jillibus

I just got out my 1951-2 CFSA Official Rulebook from my dip into ice dancing, and it says it's a member of the International Skating Union -- but that was a long time ago

2:06 am

westford

neener neener neener

2:06 am

westford

you were an ice dancer? how wonderful

2:06 am

Christine

At the closing ceremonies, Michael Buble (?) sang a song I rememberr we sang at Commonwealth Day celebrations - "The Maple Leaf Forever". Such a pretty soing.

2:06 am

westford

that was the best part

2:07 am

westford

at first I thought he must be a real Mountie

2:08 am

Christine

I know, if I just enter it at theb right speed, I can get Heaven into the grid.

2:08 am

westford

I have reached my goal. 100 words without the list I now bid you adieu

2:08 am

Christine

Bonsoir, dorme bien.

2:08 am

westford

good luck Christine I tried that too

2:08 am

jillibus

The original words to the Maple Leaf Forever are very un PC!

2:08 am

Christine

should that be dormir?

2:09 am

westford

Frere Jacque jilli and Christine

2:09 am

westford

and that's my French until we meet again

2:10 am

Christine

Et la petit bergere to you.

2:10 am

Christine

A bientot? or A tout l'heure.

2:10 am

westford

Merci

2:10 am

westford

did you wish me a little burger?

2:10 am

jillibus

no, I think it should be dormez -- (Frere Jacques, frere Jacques, dormez-vous? dormez-vous?)

2:11 am

Christine

I think I'm going to take French lessons, at night school.

2:11 am

Christine

Yeeessss dormz.

2:11 am

westford

lol good night ladies

2:12 am

jillibus

What a good idea, christine! I wish the Vanoc CEO had taken some -- his French pronunciation was appalling!

2:12 am

Christine

he nursery rhymes we learned at school -- the little shepherdess, qui gardez ses moutons, ron-ron.

2:13 am

Christine

What is Vanoc?

2:15 am

Christine

Oh, Vancouver Olympic Committee?

2:16 am

jillibus

Yes

2:19 am

jillibus

2:32 am

rolin

rubyfoo

gd morning everybody or should I say bon jour! All that French in the chat!!!

2:38 am

jillibus

hi ruby -- you must be the French expert around here

2:39 am

rubyfoo

I get along because I have to and nobody in our village speaks English except for the snowbirds who only are here a little

2:40 am

jillibus

IS YOUR HUBBY fRENCH?

2:41 am

jillibus

sorry -- hit a wrong key

2:41 am

rubyfoo

no, he's American; we're retired here

2:42 am

jillibus

does he get along in French too?

2:42 am

rubyfoo

and he's shy, so I have to do all the communicating

2:42 am

jillibus

why did you retire there? (Nosy parker, moi)

2:43 am

rubyfoo

we lived in Miami, were looking for a new start (previous marriages, etc.), I had always loved France, this place is gorgeous AND, it was affordable

2:43 am

rubyfoo

it wouldn't be now!

2:43 am

KatieMcG

2:45 am

jillibus

hi crossy -- insomnia?

2:45 am

crosshair

indeed jilli

2:45 am

Christine

Rubyfoo, are you in Vendee area? La tr7 sur mer is in the south of Vendee. So, is this synchronicity?

2:46 am

rubyfoo

no, we're in the south east, NE of Lyon and straight south of Geneva. In mountains, so no problems here, but thank you for asking

2:46 am

jillibus

I'm off to bed -- 36 left and sleeeepy! Goodnight all!

2:46 am

rubyfoo

I think the Vendee is pretty flat

2:47 am

KatieMcG

nite jilli

2:47 am

crosshair

have a good night jilli

2:47 am

Christine

And I thought I'd finally found an occasion to use synchronicity ...

2:47 am

rubyfoo

rubyfoo

I'm impressed!!

2:47 am

Christine

Sleep tight, Jillibus.

3:08 am

Christine

0oops, killed the chat.

3:09 am

Sally-catlover

Sorry, hi all. Am eating breakfast so try not to chat then because of new keyboard!

3:09 am

crosshair

3:11 am

crosshair

3:41 am

flosey

hello again my friends!

3:43 am

Sally-catlover

hi flosey

3:45 am

flosey

oh crossy, you had to mention that, I'd love a cup of coffee

3:46 am

FMitch

Evening/morning all

3:46 am

flosey

hi there FMitch

3:46 am

Sally-catlover

Hi FM

3:46 am

FMitch

Greetings :)

3:47 am

FMitch

After a very frosty and foggy start the sun is coming through and the crocus are just showing their colour.

3:48 am

Sally-catlover

Very hard frost here, but no fog this morning. Slight signs of primroses here as well. The snowdrops are fantastic this year.

3:49 am

FMitch

Lovely! and the clocks go forward at the end of the month, all is well with the world :)

3:50 am

Sally-catlover

Does anyone have all the Ks? I am missing one. I have ka 4 and 5, ke 4, 4, 6, kn5 and kv 4. Anyone know what is missing?

3:50 am

FMitch

Fraid not Sally , have been working rather than babbling, shameful I know :(

3:52 am

Sally-catlover

Oh! Just found it. Another ka4.

3:52 am

lynxxx

ka4.8 Sally - at the start

3:52 am

lynxxx

Hello all

3:52 am

Sally-catlover

If I remember any Dutch, sprite will get that one :-)

3:52 am

flosey

sally, you're missing a kar

3:52 am

FMitch

Evening lynxxx

3:53 am

Sally-catlover

TY, lynxxx, had just got it.

3:53 am

flosey

oops, that's ka4

3:53 am

crosshair

howdy fm,sally,linxx et al;)

3:53 am

FMitch

hey there crossy :)

3:54 am

Sally-catlover

hallo crossy

3:55 am

FMitch

how is the grid today?

3:56 am

lynxxx

seems OK

3:56 am

Sally-catlover

It's not too bad FM. I'm trying a less scatter-fun approach today and trying to finish each square in turn rather than just bang them in where I see them!

3:57 am

FMitch

will dive in then

3:57 am

Sally-catlover

rofl. I like scatter-fun, sb scatter-gun of course!

3:58 am

FMitch

Everyone has their own way of tackling the grid - I work backwards

4:00 am

lynxxx

I try to do the vowels first, 'cause I'm useless at them

4:01 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

4:01 am

Sally-catlover

Usually I try to do the corners first because there are fewer permutations.

4:01 am

lynxxx

morning Haz

4:01 am

Sally-catlover

Hallo Haz

4:02 am

Haz1558

Is this where we give our babble approach? I try to start off doing one letter at a time but it goes to pot as soon as I spot another word coming from another letter.

4:02 am

FMitch

Good morning Haz!

4:02 am

Atalante

I do it all in a higgledy-piggledy mess. I have ADD, I'm sure.

4:03 am

lynxxx

Hello Ata!

4:03 am

FMitch

and Morning Ata too!

4:03 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Ata with query ADD.

4:04 am

Atalante

and hi :D

4:04 am

Sally-catlover

I usually do it higgledy-piggledy, but then I miss obvious plurals and so on.

4:05 am

FMitch

Im sure the waywe tackle the grid would say lots about our traits :)

4:05 am

Haz1558

Have you any other symptoms, Ata, or just the babble higgledy piggledy?

4:05 am

Sally-catlover

You know, the hi-pi phrase is very difficult to type!

4:05 am

lynxxx

Just saw an old DrWho I had not seen before Ata. Was it the 1st JB one, the one with the gasmask 'virus'?

4:06 am

Atalante

hmm. my mother used to call me a butterfly cos I couldn't concentrate on 1 thing for more than 5 minutes. Do you think it's serious? Should I go to the doctor? lol

4:06 am

Atalante

ohhh that one is freaky, I don't like it!

4:06 am

FMitch

that was a scarey one!

4:07 am

Haz1558

(Making note, definitely don't watch the Dr Who Gas Mask virus edition)

4:07 am

Atalante

I hate hate hate gas masks. I think it's being asthmatic, the thought of being enclosed like that is horrid

4:09 am

Haz1558

We saw the special gas mask that the telephonist in the War Cabinet rooms had, so that even in the event of a gas attack, she could keep working. Can you imagine?

4:09 am

FMitch

good heavens

4:10 am

Haz1558

I know -talk about going above and beyond the call of duty.

4:10 am

Atalante

how did that work?

4:10 am

Haz1558

I don't know, to be honest, but it had an interesting green filter thing on the end.

4:11 am

Atalante

ooo!

4:12 am

FMitch

Got to go, cleaning lady is here and I need to get her to help me move some stuff.

4:13 am

Haz1558

So, here's an entry for the most inappropriate vet emergency call. Vet answers the phone on Christmas Day. Lady informs him that she had bought her son some exotic pet for Christmas. 'The light on the tank has stopped working.' 'Madam, you need an electrician.' 'Yes, but they'll not be open for a few days.'

4:13 am

lynxxx

waiting for reaction from Haz......

4:13 am

lynxxx

bye FM

4:13 am

Atalante

omg!!

4:13 am

Sally-catlover

lol Haz

4:13 am

Haz1558

It's okay, lynxxx, I've taken my calming pills to help me get over the Tuesday shock. Have fun, FM!

4:14 am

Sally-catlover

There are some pretty horrendous 999 ambulance cals as well.

4:14 am

lynxxx

'your' vet Haz?

4:14 am

Haz1558

This was one of the vets we met in London. They have a system where the phone goes through to their mobile. He was in the middle of calving a cow at the time and was NOT amused.

4:15 am

Atalante

ooo yes, tales must have abounded over the weekend!

4:16 am

Haz1558

It got quite technical at some points, you don't get vets together without hearing about their triumphs and disasters.

4:17 am

Haz1558

I'm wondering if FM has found her camera lead yet. Maybe that's what she and the cleaning lady will dedicate themselves towards this morning.

4:17 am

lynxxx

Were these official meetings or was it just you were all at the same places?

4:18 am

Haz1558

We were together for meal times and split up for theatre visits and going to the rugby - we didn't have any lectures or anything like that, it was strictly leisure (thank goodness).

4:19 am

Sally-catlover

Who was doing the treating, Haz? Was it a drug company?

4:19 am

Haz1558

We had some free time on the Saturday morning and couples tended to split up and do whatever they fancied.

4:20 am

Haz1558

Yes, Sally, a local drug company arranges a trip every year and it was our turn in the practice to go this year.

4:20 am

Sally-catlover

I know quite a few doctors have these treats. Friend of mine used to work for a drug co that organised them.

4:21 am

Sally-catlover

How did Mr Haz like meeting your babble buddies?

4:21 am

Haz1558

He seemed to cope fine!

4:21 am

Atalante

he thought we were wonderful, of course!

4:22 am

Sally-catlover

A man of discernment then, Ata.

4:22 am

Haz1558

He probably didn't realise that they knew as much about him as they did, but there was no shortage of chat from any of them.

4:22 am

Haz1558

He and FM bonded over birds and he and Ata bonded over fish and dogs.

4:23 am

Sally-catlover

I would have thought he and Ata would bond over dogs.

4:23 am

Atalante

he really is *lovely*

4:23 am

Haz1558

He's such a discerning man, Sally, I mean, he married me!

4:23 am

Sally-catlover

I have a feeling he's spoken for, Ata.

4:24 am

Haz1558

I know, but FM told him straight out that she liked him!

4:24 am

Atalante

meant to say yesterday, I saw 2 gorgeous Welsh springers at the beach. Maybe mum and pup, cos the little one was following the big one around devotedly!

4:24 am

Sally-catlover

I wish I could move that letter R next to the E, I would get so many more words.

4:25 am

Haz1558

Welsh pups are really cute!

4:25 am

lynxxx

Watching Top Gear, such silly guys and so entertaining!

4:25 am

Atalante

they were gorgeous. there's something about all spaniels that just makes you want to smile at them

4:26 am

lynxxx

FM, she's bit forward then?

4:26 am

Haz1558

She was just speaking her mind!

4:27 am

Atalante

ooo! she didn't say what her dr said!

4:28 am

Haz1558

What did he say? (Is is a he?)

4:28 am

Atalante

I don't know! she didn't say!

4:29 am

Atalante

can't have been that bad though, I suppose, if she's helping move stuff around

4:29 am

Haz1558

But her appointment was at 8.30 and she's home, so at least we know she's not been carted off for amputation or anything.

4:29 am

Atalante

yes, that's a relief

4:30 am

Haz1558

Maybe she'll come back and tell us. We need to know.

4:31 am

Atalante

she has other priorities now. Cleaning ladies etc

4:31 am

Haz1558

And she didn't mention anything about crutches or a cane either, so that's good as well.

4:31 am

Atalante

bet he didn't say to help boxes around!

4:31 am

Sally-catlover

My trouble if I had a cleaning lady would be that I would have to clear up and clean before she came :-(

4:32 am

Haz1558

Absolutely, Sally. But FM's happy - the cleaning lady puts her toilet paper into points, she's obviously used to working for the best.

4:34 am

Sally-catlover

What? Like in a hotel!

4:34 am

Flask1

Morning all......Another fabulous day....weather ways I mean!

4:34 am

Atalante

yep!! LOL!

4:34 am

lynxxx

hi Flask

4:34 am

Haz1558

Yes! It's made me feel quite slovenly in comparison.

4:34 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Flask - another sunny morning here as well, but still frosty.

4:35 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Flask.

4:35 am

Flask1

Oh yes...here too....but sooooo bright n sunny!!!

4:35 am

Atalante

D now wants a cleaner again *sigh*

4:35 am

Sally-catlover

Of course, it doesn't prove that she has cleaned the bathroom, just handled the toilet paper.

4:36 am

Haz1558

Oh, but everything was sparkling once she had finished, FM said, so she's thrilled with her. The pointy toilet paper was the icing on the cake.

4:37 am

Atalante

yay for pointy loo roll!

4:38 am

Atalante

I have a very grumpy cat at the moment, I had to stop her using her main scratching post because she was rapidly killing it - the newel rail on the stairs - I put carpet round it and she is most discontent. I put a new piece of wood for her to use next to it, but that is No Good

4:39 am

Haz1558

Of course it's No Good. Its not what she wants.

4:39 am

Atalante

exactly. she sits and stares at the post she likes, looking mournful and mistreated

4:40 am

Sally-catlover

lol Ata. Have you tried putting catnip where you want her to scratch? Cannabis for cats.

4:40 am

Haz1558

Does she complain to Hobbit in low murmurings of discontent?

4:41 am

Atalante

she doesn't like catnip *facepalm* stupid cat

4:41 am

Haz1558

She's obviously a contrary cat.

4:41 am

Atalante

quite probably. not that Hobbit would take any notice

4:41 am

Sally-catlover

*Shock* Ours go totally wanton over it. I'm sure I never taught them such ways.

4:42 am

Atalante

she's the only cat I know who doesn't go batty over the stuff!

4:43 am

lynxxx

That's your answer then, spray catnip on the newel rail

4:43 am

Haz1558

Maybe she had a bad experience with catnip when she was younger. You should get her regressed to find out, I'm sure you'd find somebody willing to charge you thousands to do it. Look for Cat Whisperer in Yellow Pages.

4:43 am

Atalante

looooooool good idea!

4:43 am

Sally-catlover

Lateral thinking lynxxx!

4:43 am

Atalante

wonder if oriental cats have less reaction? does catnip grow in the orient?

4:44 am

Haz1558

We'll have to google for the answer.

4:46 am

Haz1558

Catnip tea was popular before importation of tea from the orient.

Haz1558

So, does that mean that it grows in Euorope and not in the orient, or just that the orientals didn't bother exporting it since the Europeans had it already?

4:47 am

Atalante

"I did read somewhere that oriental cats tend not to react to it but I havenâ€™t seen evidence of this firsthand"

4:47 am

Atalante

well it's a mint ... so I think we had it over here ...

4:48 am

Haz1558

Have we any oriental babble cats?

4:48 am

lynxxx

maybe Sily would like nice green tea instead

4:49 am

Atalante

only Sily, I think, and she's only half. But she's very very much more like her Burmese mum than farm cat dad in looks and temperament and everything

4:49 am

Atalante

will ask best friend. She has a Siamese.

4:51 am

Haz1558

Don't forget to let us know. Has the Siamese got an appropriately exotic name?

4:51 am

Atalante

ermmmmmmmm no. "Trouble". Because he is.

4:51 am

Haz1558

That's what our neighbours opposite called their dog!

4:52 am

Atalante

is he a brat too?

4:52 am

Haz1558

He's dead! No more trouble/Trouble.

4:52 am

Flask1

my least favourite words are the A's...and I just can't see the as/5 at all....any clues please?

4:53 am

Haz1558

They've got a new little dog called Dugald, a cross between a terrier, a collie and who knows what, but such a funny little dog.

4:53 am

Haz1558

as5/10 - as plus the Governess for the King of Siam, minus a consonant.

4:53 am

lynxxx

as5 ends like curved yellow fruit

4:54 am

Eva

yoga pose....good morning everyone

4:54 am

Flask1

thanx Haz and lynxxx....peculiar word!!!

4:54 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Eva.

4:54 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Flask.

4:54 am

lynxxx

Hi Eva

4:55 am

Flask1

Morning Eva!

4:55 am

Atalante

there. refresh my icon for a pic of Trouble looking bratty!

4:55 am

Eva

yes, the a's are atrocious, anathema, awkward.

4:55 am

Haz1558

He looks positively menacing, Ata.

4:56 am

Atalante

he's huuuuge as well. about 23lb. but really he's the biggest crybaby ever

4:57 am

Haz1558

I wouldn't be trying to get him out of that box, that's for sure.

4:57 am

Eva

is he part Maine Coon?

4:59 am

Atalante

we think so, Eva

4:59 am

Atalante

he was part of a litter best friend found, we think we know who his mom is, but no idea about dad

5:00 am

Eva

with that size it's likely...also pointed, tufted ears, tufted paws, rear legs/feet like rabbits, square body, very dog like in behavior....follow you from room to room

5:01 am

Atalante

yep, we're pretty sure he is, to some extent. What extent, we'll never know, but he's just huge, follows you around, he doesn't have real Maine Coon tufts though

5:01 am

Haz1558

Is he following, or stalking?

5:01 am

Eva

felt terrible yesterday....was trying to clip Merp's claws and he moved just at the wrong moment (despite being wrapped in a towel and held by a very strong man) and I cut the quick. Never done that before Felt like an axe murderess, but 5 minutes later all was forgiven.

5:01 am

Atalante

both I think!

5:02 am

Atalante

poor Eva! You feel SO bad, don't you

5:02 am

Eva

And now that we both have ptsd I'll probably have to have the vet do it.

5:03 am

Haz1558

There are advantages to having a vet in the house! He can do all the medicating etc without a thought.

5:03 am

Atalante

or use an emery board, if Merp is patient

5:03 am

Eva

At the vet's he just sort of goes limp and growls, but gives up the homicidal maniac bit

5:04 am

Eva

Atalante...that gave me a wonderful laugh. Exactly how much blood do you want me to donate?

5:05 am

Atalante

ohhhh like *that* is it?

5:05 am

Haz1558

The clue is in the 'homicidal maniac' description...

5:05 am

Eva

oh yes

5:06 am

Eva

I have thought about IV valium...for one or the other of us

5:06 am

lynxxx

Ewww - another oldie...the Torchwood where people's arms turn into stabbing thrusting weapons....s'awful

5:07 am

Eva

lynxxx - where did that come from?!

5:07 am

Haz1558

lynxxx, you shouldn't be watching this stuff before going to bed, you'll have nightmares.

5:07 am

Sally-catlover

I think Babble is marginally less stressful, lynxxx

5:07 am

lynxxx

can you tell I am watching UKTV

5:08 am

Atalante

it's a good episode though

5:08 am

Haz1558

Is Aus TV less gory?

5:08 am

Eva

tried it once for about 5 minutes. Much too dark for me. I'm back to watching reruns of the West Wing and pretending it's our real government.

5:09 am

lynxxx

We don't have the money for such high tech stuff Haz

5:09 am

Eva

Of course the realistic thing about the West Wing was that as much as you loved the characters, their administration was rarely able to get anything done either. But they were so witty and sweet while being thwarted that you didn't really care.

5:13 am

Eva

38 left down and have hit a wall

5:13 am

Atalante

me too, at 25

5:14 am

Eva

just got the melon, so 37

5:15 am

Sally-catlover

The melon? Worried look. Have 18 to find here.

5:15 am

Eva

ca6/30

5:16 am

Sally-catlover

Ah, have that one. Didn't recognise it as melon.

5:16 am

Eva

I think its a melon?

5:16 am

Sally-catlover

Probably, know it's a fruit.

5:16 am

Atalante

oh that! it's a root, I think

5:16 am

Eva

you're right

5:16 am

Atalante

or at least it's a root when it has a double S lol

5:21 am

Haz1558

'TIs a root according to the dictionary, both spellings okay.

5:21 am

Atalante

*smug* LOL

5:23 am

Atalante

isn't it the thing you get manioc from?

5:24 am

Atalante

and the poison stuff in the Amazon?

5:24 am

Haz1558

Same family.

5:25 am

Sally-catlover

Must be off for an appointment. 12 to go so will be back later to finish. See some of you later.

5:25 am

Atalante

curare! that's the stuff

5:25 am

Haz1558

The stuff in blow darts? Or am I thinking of something else?

5:25 am

Haz1558

See you later, Sally.

5:25 am

lynxxx

bye Sally

5:25 am

Atalante

yep, that stuff

5:25 am

Atalante

bye Sally!

5:29 am

Atalante

5:30 am

lynxxx

5:30 am

Haz1558

That's grand - off I go!

5:30 am

morning, red!

6:42 am

redturtlehead

How is everyone?

6:42 am

redturtlehead

Or how are you Fuquay, as you are the only one here!

6:43 am

fuquayvarina

I'm good! In New Orleans for a work trip, but have an easy day, so enjoying sitting in bed babbling.

6:43 am

fuquayvarina

and you?

6:43 am

redturtlehead

That sounds very fun! good food!

6:44 am

redturtlehead

Well, it is pouring rain with high winds, goo day to stay in and babble!

6:44 am

fuquayvarina

Yes, looking forward to that part!

6:44 am

fuquayvarina

that's what it was like when I arrived here yesterday. almost hurricane-ish and I wondered if it makes the natives nervous

6:45 am

fuquayvarina

though by now they must have had enough storms since Katrina to be somewhat desensitized, I'm sure

6:46 am

redturtlehead

I think they know the difference.

6:46 am

redturtlehead

When I first moved to Florida some of the storms made me nervous....

6:46 am

redturtlehead

but then people told me that I would know right away if it was really hurricane winds....

6:48 am

fuquayvarina

yes, there is definitely a difference, but I wonder about PTSD-like symptoms when people have gone through a really traumatic one

6:48 am

redturtlehead

I dont know. High winds with rain always makes me nervous.

6:48 am

redturtlehead

For certain. I bet for children especially!

6:50 am

fuquayvarina

we lived in florida for awhile when I was a child, and I'll never forget one storm when my parents were debating about whether we should evacuate. We lived just a couple of blocks in from the gulf.

6:51 am

redturtlehead

It is always a bit iffy, I think with storms. Glad I live in Central Fl, we have a few miles protections on both sides!

6:51 am

redturtlehead

must dash now, stopped raining and dog is begging to go out! HAGD!

6:52 am

fuquayvarina

bye!

I can't let my husband into the flower beds as he refuses to learn what not to step on. He is in charge of the grass and the fishpond

8:34 am

robbie09

that song was popular when I was in high school

8:34 am

mongie

just curious ... does anyone know the median age here?

8:34 am

hego

Good delegating Ruby.

8:34 am

FMitch

sounds like a sensible set up ruby.

8:35 am

robbie09

lol ruby

8:35 am

mongie

robbie ... same here

8:35 am

rubyfoo

what we'll admit to, or the actuality?

8:35 am

hego

We NEVER speak of age here Mongie. ;-)

8:35 am

FMitch

We have babblers from 10 to late 80's

8:35 am

rubyfoo

I'm retired, if that's a clue.....

8:35 am

mongie

ok ... just curious

8:36 am

rubyfoo

there was just an article in the French Saturday magazine about ageing and it suggested word games -- no kidding, Sherlock

8:36 am

mongie

I'm close to retirement

8:36 am

robbie09

I just turned 29 again;-)

8:36 am

mongie

8:37 am

FMitch

I decided to age gracefullly (ish)

8:37 am

mongie

rubyfoo ... the article suggested word games in what respect to aging?

8:37 am

rubyfoo

I'm just disappearing

8:37 am

rubyfoo

keeping the brain active and preventing Alzheimer's

8:37 am

rubyfoo

but we all knew that!!!

8:38 am

mongie

ah

8:38 am

FMitch

word games and activities like Soduku are very good for keeping the brain stimulated.

8:38 am

mongie

I understand that it is helpful to keep learning new things

8:38 am

robbie09

cheers for brain stimulation!

8:39 am

rubyfoo

I've been doing sudoko for several months, but am better at scrabble...

8:39 am

mongie

That just doing the same things over don't do anything to ward of senility

8:39 am

hego

Actually, Ruby kepping the brain active will not word off AD if you're so disposed, but wikk ward off senility. Good enough I say.

8:39 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, somebody has opened the bar prematurely so I'd better go. See you all later

8:39 am

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

I couldn't do my icon' ata did it for me!

12:22 pm

12:24 pm

jmcnrick

that's like the plaque in Harper's Ferry morning the deaths of the Pinkertons who were murdering union workers

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

at least you're not in chile!

12:25 pm

redturtlehead

My Mom gets odd sensations when they are flying the super secret jets over he house.

12:25 pm

jmcnrick

you would hear the booms in arlington dc -- its been on the radio all morning

12:25 pm

dcseain

true that, ruby

12:25 pm

redturtlehead

since she is deaf in one ear, she somehow now can feel some vibrations and such...

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

we get very lkow-flying jets over lake Annecy and since the French don't ever fight, what exactly are they doing that low? Lower than my house!

12:26 pm

dcseain

interesting, jmc

12:26 pm

redturtlehead

very glad not to be chilean. WE should all (all who drink that is) buy more chilean wine.

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

that's low*, not kow

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

and I hear them after they've passed!

12:27 pm

mongie

Why are some lock images on profiles blue, and some are pink?

12:27 pm

rubyfoo

depends whether or not you specify your gender

12:27 pm

dcseain

male and female

12:27 pm

redturtlehead

they closed the pool abruptly right after I got out, the state health inspector was there. which makes me think I am about to get a skin fungus!!!!

12:27 pm

dcseain

if one specifies a gender

12:27 pm

jmcnrick

when the harrier hawks fly over my house trembles

12:27 pm

dcseain

grey if not specified, and/or profile not public

12:27 pm

rubyfoo

12:29 pm

redturtlehead

12:29 pm

dcseain

at least that's equal for all

12:30 pm

redturtlehead

well, that makes them much less attractive to work for!

12:30 pm

jmcnrick

thus having a religious reason to sa$$ money on the back of their employees

12:30 pm

12:37 pm

Enomis65

12:37 pm

crosshair

wash yourself down with betadine red lol

12:38 pm

redturtlehead

I may have to shower again in that hibiclens. but in general I figure if it doesnt kill me I will be stronger.

one of my sister's cats hops onto the fridge and wallks across a valance to above cabinets, to a recess at ceiling level. bro-in-law built platforms to let cat get past beams, and to go over the gable windows, to another turn-around-platform.

12:40 pm

mongie

12:40 pm

SeaSpray

Does anyone know anything about Vitamin D deficiency?

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

also had to reboot, poopy server

12:40 pm

hego

yes?

12:40 pm

dcseain

indeed, sea. s'up?

12:40 pm

redturtlehead

I think it can make you depressed and if no vit D very hard to absorb calcium

12:41 pm

crosshair

lol,of course i do,in canadina,have not seen sun since october lol

12:41 pm

redturtlehead

But DC probably knows more!

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

bones get fractious

12:41 pm

redturtlehead

LOLOL Mongie! I hate cold!

12:41 pm

hego

right, not enough sunlight

12:41 pm

Enomis65

and 20 minutes of outside sun could help you get more...

12:41 pm

hego

common in winter.

12:41 pm

crosshair

get s un lamp with uv bulb

12:41 pm

dcseain

tom has vit d deficinceny due to lack of sun thanks to meds. It causes fragile bones, inability to metabolize calcium, depression, and some other symptoms.

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

in the US they enrich whole milk with vitamin D, but not here.....

12:41 pm

SeaSpray

what are the symptoms?

12:41 pm

crosshair

lay down under it with the hosseplants

12:41 pm

hego

good idea Crossy. lol

12:41 pm

crosshair

lol

12:41 pm

SeaSpray

besides depression I mean

12:42 pm

dcseain

and doc can prescibe weekly supplements after a simple blood test

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

osteoporosis

12:42 pm

hego

calcium deficiency can cause muscle pain and cramps

12:42 pm

SeaSpray

Ok, i just picked up the supplements, so I guess I am good to go

12:42 pm

SeaSpray

nausea?

12:43 pm

hego

and as Ruby said

12:43 pm

crosshair

not usually

12:43 pm

redturtlehead

I think the supplements may cause you nausea.

12:43 pm

dcseain

doc can prescribe much higher doses depending on level of depletion

12:43 pm

hego

Hmm.. Don't know about that one.

12:44 pm

SeaSpray

ok, he told me to take 2,000 IU's per day

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

lovely orchids mongie

12:44 pm

crosshair

but im serious,get a plant grow light and put it by your favorite reading chair

12:44 pm

dcseain

that's typical for a while

12:44 pm

SeaSpray

very fatiqued also

12:44 pm

hego

sounds okay.

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

what about drinking enriched dairy products, seaspray?

12:44 pm

dcseain

enriched OJ too

12:45 pm

redturtlehead

I hate to sound like a total idiot, I know its really cold up there, but once it gets less cold, spending time out side will really help

12:45 pm

SeaSpray

I am willing to try anything at this point

12:45 pm

crosshair

we had actual sun yesterday!! everyone just stood still and looked up like a bunch of sunflowers lol

12:45 pm

SeaSpray

I do spend time outside when the weather is fit

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

it is very hard to get extra D from food

12:46 pm

SeaSpray

lol funny crossy

12:46 pm

SeaSpray

so I have heard ruby

12:46 pm

hego

red is right, sunlight is the best cure, unless there is some other problem causing the deficiency.

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

there is a chocolate calcium/D supplement in chewable form, but I couldn't stand the texture, thought it would make my fillings flal out.

12:47 pm

crosshair

$4.99..get the grow light......

12:47 pm

SeaSpray

what else would cause it?

12:47 pm

redturtlehead

I found that once I started swimming in the outdoor pool that things got better. I find though on my days off I spend maybe 5-6 hours actually outside each day.

12:47 pm

hego

Listen to the crosster. lol

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

DIL bought it for me

12:47 pm

redturtlehead

well Sea, the horrid winter weather might cause me to be exhausted!

12:47 pm

Atalante

there's a big correlation between vit D deficiency adn MS, but I think you'd know if you had that!

12:48 pm

SeaSpray

as long as it doesn't make me grow crossy, I will

12:48 pm

mongie

question .. on lickety's clues ... is the last number listed the point count of the letters involved in the word? (i.e. ke6,30 ... 30 being the points?)

12:48 pm

Hi Ata

12:49 pm

redturtlehead

I am not tired! if I had to live in a place with snow...I'd be so depressed and tired.

12:49 pm

Atalante

my best friend has MS, we've been learning allll sorts of things recently!

12:49 pm

crosshair

howdy ata!

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

are those orchids mongie?

12:49 pm

redturtlehead

Seaspray, I hope you feel much better soon.

12:49 pm

mongie

red ... my daughter was diagnosed with MS a few months ago ... still considering treatment alternatives

12:49 pm

dcseain

I had an uncle with MS, and i ha4 several friends with it.

12:49 pm

crosshair

my wifes aunt had ms for 33 years;((

12:49 pm

SeaSpray

ty red, i am sure I will

12:49 pm

redturtlehead

Ata, if she needs any help/advice, I can put you all in touch with my cousin via FB. She is a font of information. She is, however, not doing as well as I had hoped.

12:50 pm

mongie

ruby ... yes, they are white orchids

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

beautiful!

12:51 pm

Atalante

ty! shes doing really well at the moment, luckily. she had her 6m MRI yesterday and no new lesions / nothing new, so that's good. Her dr wants her to take part in a study about phosphorus levels

12:51 pm

SeaSpray

I know several with MS as well, young women, very debilitating at times

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

in his old house, before we were married, my husband grew orchids in the courtyard and in his shower!

12:51 pm

crosshair

indeed seaspray

12:51 pm

Enomis65

anybody has clues for the 2 7 words

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

miami, though, very warm

12:51 pm

dcseain

en7 is plural

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

12:51 pm

12:52 pm

mongie

lol ruby ... I am attempting to grow orchids ... have had mild success over the last year

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

and plural

12:52 pm

redturtlehead

I worry as My cousin has 3 kids and her hubs lost his job in December.

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

I think misting is the key

12:52 pm

Atalante

urf, not easy :(

12:52 pm

SeaSpray

oh my red, that is terrible

12:52 pm

dcseain

oh, that's hard, red. :/

12:53 pm

mongie

red ... my daughter also has 3 kids, she works full-time days, hubby works full-time nights ... never see eachother ... like being single parents :(

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

that is so sad, red!

12:53 pm

redturtlehead

It really is hard, to know what to do or say. She is a very smart woman, but can not work because she has balance trouble and terrible vision trouble.

12:54 pm

mongie

ruby ... I know orchids do like humidity ... the shower was probably a good place to grow them

12:54 pm

Atalante

does she take vit D supplements?

12:55 pm

mongie

red ... so sorry to hear your cousin has such trouble. I think the only thing you can really do is be there for her

12:55 pm

dcseain

my uncle spent 40 years in a wheel chair and 30 of them with manual controls on his car due to his MS

12:55 pm

redturtlehead

I dont know Ata. She gets all her treatments at John Hopkins, so its all very advanced. She has had MS for a very long time, and its fairly advanced.

12:55 pm

rubyfoo

he designed it with stone shelves where he could stick the orchids and in the courtyard he stuck them in the notches of trees

12:55 pm

mongie

12:56 pm

dcseain

No matter the size of the grid, I get to 50 left or so and things just get soooo constipated!

1:02 pm

dcseain

that tr7 is new to me. ty

1:02 pm

SeaSpray

I find this grid challenging to say the least

1:03 pm

wildcat17

**forms mental picture of red's grid being constipated

1:03 pm

hego

try getting that picture out of your brain. lol

1:03 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Wild, it needs to spit out some words...

1:04 pm

wildcat17

i'm sure that won't happen

1:04 pm

hego

Milk of magnesia, perhaps?

1:04 pm

redturtlehead

words, need sto push out some words...

1:05 pm

Oh Lord

1:07 pm

SeaSpray

that is scary red

1:07 pm

mongie

red ... that is a creepy practice, isn't it?

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

more than a little scary!

1:08 pm

dcseain

remembered that i'm on windows here, and switched to expert.

1:08 pm

redturtlehead

It is. It seems that there is just too many confusions between parents hopes and dreams and kids hopes and dreams and the odd Sexual messages....

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

what can the mothers be thinking?

1:08 pm

mongie

Too bad the grid can't be rotated ... that would give a new perspective and help highlight things unseen previously.

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

good idea, mongie

1:08 pm

wildcat17

you can turn your head sideways ...

1:08 pm

mongie

lol, wildcat

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

pretend you're an owl

1:09 pm

hego

Or stand on your head.

1:09 pm

mongie

Unfortunately, it doesn't help me to view the letters sideways! lol ... like Greek to me! :)

1:10 pm

this has been fun. Thank you everybody and it's lovely to know you a little better, mongie!

1:17 pm

redturtlehead

Hi FM!

1:18 pm

Atalante

do you know where I should look online to find government information on Aussie estuaries and their management. We have the Environment Agency that has an Estuary section, the US has the National Estuary Programme, but I can't seem to find anything equivalent in Australia

1:18 pm

mongie

red ... I have 73 left! I am always glad to see the new grid ... I start out so well. :)

1:20 pm

Atalante

1:20 pm

dcseain

http://www.ozcoasts.org.au/ is one place to start

1:20 pm

1:23 pm

dcseain

hasta, mongie

1:24 pm

Atalante

it's just interesting that I can't find that Aus has a national estuary programme / strategy when it's so hot on the coastal side. The US seems to do best with estuaries

1:24 pm

FMitch

so you have gone from bogs to estuaries now then Ata?

1:24 pm

Atalante

yep lol

1:25 pm

FMitch

:)

1:25 pm

Atalante

though I've always loved estuaries anyway

1:25 pm

lynxxx

Each State looks after its 'own' water here

1:26 pm

Atalante

what if (say) Qld had a water policy that NSW disliked cos it affected them badly?

1:27 pm

lynxxx

Estuaries - can only associate them with crocs - and not the one you wear on your feet

1:27 pm

Atalante

1:28 pm

Atalante

Chesapeake is a Special Case :D

SeaSpray

2:05 pm

Atalante

Breyer's mint choc chip is lovely

2:05 pm

Atalante

2:05 pm

redturtlehead

Publix ones are good too, HT and Publix may actually be the same in the end.

2:06 pm

Atalante

have you have chocolate cake shots, Eva?

2:06 pm

EvaNadine

i have had them made different ways. the one i prefer is a shot of Frangelico with a sugared lemon

2:07 pm

Atalante

so bizarrely amazing. I like frnagelico and citron vodka with the lemon

2:08 pm

Atalante

HOW does that taste like choc cake?

2:08 pm

EvaNadine

my friend once made me a shot that tasted exactly like a macintosh apple. ive tried to get it since, and none of them taste right...

2:09 pm

bojazz

could you folks talk about something else??? i'm about to attack a vending machine!!!

2:09 pm

redturtlehead

I am marinating scallops BoJazz!!!

2:09 pm

EvaNadine

2:13 pm

redturtlehead

Ata, have you ever seen a healthy vending machine? really now.

2:13 pm

redturtlehead

Hi rbud!

2:13 pm

Atalante

2:13 pm

EvaNadine

*envisions NB leaping like a pro ballet dancer*

2:14 pm

redturtlehead

eva is waiting for you to land, but I can offer an alternative landing site if there is cloud cover....

2:15 pm

Nancy Boy

as if I'd leap any other way...

2:15 pm

Nancy Boy

sounds intriguing, Red?!

2:15 pm

bojazz

Ok - settling for M&M peanuts

2:15 pm

bojazz

peanuts to offer some health benefits!

2:15 pm

dcseain

peanut m&ms are a happy

2:15 pm

Atalante

as long as he won't bump into the space shuttle near you

2:15 pm

bojazz

*do

2:15 pm

redturtlehead

like the space shuttle.

2:16 pm

redturtlehead

well, there is part of the shuttle moved out to the launch pad.

2:16 pm

rbud

yes, the peanuts will make it all better, I agree. (always tell myself that, too... ) ;p

2:16 pm

bojazz

do they serve scalloped potatoes in the shuttle?

2:16 pm

redturtlehead

chocolate can improve mood.

2:16 pm

EvaNadine

i had some wild cherry M&Ms earlier. yummy.

2:17 pm

Atalante

oooo they sound good

2:17 pm

PinnyPoppins

you guys have much better snack food in the states! you're all making me hungry!

2:18 pm

Atalante

not fair, is it

2:18 pm

Nancy Boy

But Pinny, never under-estimate the comforting qualities of real, english, stodge.

2:18 pm

EvaNadine

the cherry-filled hersheys kisses are quite yummy also...

2:18 pm

Atalante

good point NB

2:18 pm

redturtlehead

I liked the caramel filled ones.

2:19 pm

redturtlehead

what isr real englishs todge?

2:19 pm

bojazz

chocolate covered cranberries are the poo!

2:19 pm

PinnyPoppins

stodge also gets a big thumbs up :D

2:19 pm

Atalante

no, bojazz, Harry and David's choc covereed cherries!

2:20 pm

Nancy Boy

Red, the mad things that only English people would think were a good idea. Like pork pies. And dumplings.

2:20 pm

redturtlehead

stodge?

2:20 pm

EvaNadine

stodge? need i reprimand my english parents for not informing of something english that is yummy?

2:20 pm

redturtlehead

I love chiken and dumplings, but they are sort of an American thing I thought.

2:20 pm

PinnyPoppins

stodge = carb-heavy food. like pies and mashed potato and mashed potato pie

2:20 pm

redturtlehead

sorry my grammar is gone today.

2:20 pm

dcseain

my czech relatives made chix and dumplings, too

2:21 pm

dcseain

sometmies chix and spaetzle

2:21 pm

redturtlehead

Oh poor teulu he is wuffling in sleep.

2:21 pm

EvaNadine

ahh, so not an actual dish. just sort of a genre of food. gotcha.

2:21 pm

Nancy Boy

It's probably me, Red; I associate them with England. Suet and stuff...reeeeally heavy food. Though I'm technically a foreigner, so it's rude for me to criticise.

2:21 pm

PinnyPoppins

exactly. stodgy food. make you fat. and happy. but more fat.

2:22 pm

redturtlehead

Having never been to England I have no idea. I have heard from a variety of people who were there for different times...that the food could be challenging...

2:22 pm

EvaNadine

BTW, hints for the E above the V?

2:22 pm

Atalante

stodge = carb rich food that you simply have to nap after eating, very happily

2:22 pm

redturtlehead

anyone have any good news? I want to hear some!!

2:23 pm

bojazz

over here, stodgy is not a word associated with happy or pleasant or nice to be around - unless of course you're doing scalloped potatoes

2:24 pm

rbud

ea4/5, Eva

Vicuna

Wow, just looke dup the ca5/22. Intriguing. I'll have to do a little research after I've finished here.

4:30 pm

Dorens

that one took me some time, but the point count itself was intriguing

4:30 pm

Vicuna

en6 is not fishy to me.

4:31 pm

SeaSpray

ok, got it

4:31 pm

Vicuna

Although we've certainly had the en6 before.

4:31 pm

Dorens

you, of course, will have to see the ca5/22 so you can capture its image

4:32 pm

Dorens

ok i WILL find it. still not jumping out at me tho

4:32 pm

4:35 pm

Vicuna

Get thee behind me, Doren! I don't need any additional ways to waste time!

4:36 pm

Atalante

LOL

4:37 pm

Dorens

i totally understand! that's how if felt when someone gave it to me as a birthday gift... and particularly since i'm addicted now but stink at it. not nearly as gratifying as lexulous (except when i'm playing SOME people)

4:37 pm

Dorens

but i keep coming back and someday i'll do better, i'm sure.

4:38 pm

Vicuna

I'm sure you will! I have too many hobbies, is my problem. And not one of them involves housecleaning.

4:38 pm

Atalante

we love lexulous

4:39 pm

Dorens

housecleaning and hobbies? only thing they have in common is the h. hobbies are supposed to be pleasurable

4:39 pm

Dorens

i do indeed, ata. had such a run of good luck for such a long time... now 7 out of 20 games are doomed... miserable letters.. got my comeupance

4:39 pm

Vicuna

Right. But I have to keep my nose to the hobby grindstone or I don't have time for them all! And that certainly leaves no time in my busy schedule for anything else.

4:39 pm

Dorens

but i still love it

4:40 pm

Atalante

I have generally miserable letters too *sigh*

4:40 pm

Dorens

i often wondered, vicuna, how you young ladies with the children manage .. and your art, or "hobbies" as well? my hat's off to you

4:40 pm

Vicuna

Benign neglect goes a long way.

4:41 pm

Vicuna

Actually, that's what Babble is for - to do during the times when the kids won't let me concentrate on anything el4. They're really very good, though.

4:41 pm

Dorens

well then ata, guess i should go check out our game and see where we're at

4:42 pm

Dorens

yes you are lucky ata... twins can be difficult, but one of the charms is you rarely have to entertain a lonely bored child

4:42 pm

Dorens

no. that was meant for vicuna, not ata. who is also lucky

4:42 pm

Vicuna

Heh - except when they're lonely and bored together! =P

4:42 pm

Dorens

i will say goodbye now... to lexulous perhaps. see you all later

6:13 pm

tfgrrl

I'm in LA, but not confused about my gender, thank you, even though there are folks here who may be. lol

6:14 pm

welki

don't forget, tf, the famous exhange between marilyn monroe and albert einstein on the subject of 'what if we had a baby'

6:14 pm

welki

Marilyn Monroe suggests to Einstein: What do you say, professor, shouldn't we marry and have a little baby together: what a baby it would be - my looks and your intelligence!
Einstein: I'm afraid, dear lady, it might be the other way around...

6:15 pm

bojazz

lol

6:15 pm

tfgrrl

welki I have no idea what you might be implying. *tossing my hair and turning away and tripping over a chair*

I ha 4/8 another story of clues. I like summer better th 4/5 winter. All the snow we got gave me a he 4/6 ac4/6! It has been a th 5/12 in my side. I am wo 4/8 out by all this snow.Mi ca4/5 is surrounded by snow! I don't believe I had this much snow last year on this da 4/5. But ea 4/6 day, the snow has been melting. I am hoping for a he4/5 wave so the snow will go away quickly. It would be ni 4/5 if it melted this week and be gone on 4/5 for all for everybody's sa 4/8. Th 4/5 we can start enjoying spring and summer. Over all, I would ra 4/4 this winter not too bad.I didn't get one sore th 6/21 this winter.That is my ra 4/5 about the snow. I do hope you ha4/8 made a no4/4 of my clues.

Lady Biotch

Hi everyone!!!

8:24 pm

stidgmere

Sometimes one must sort of focus on the grid so I don't believe being in the background is so bad. Always nice when you feel inspired isn't it.

8:26 pm

Jellen

Hi, Lady B.

8:26 pm

Lady Biotch

hola

8:26 pm

8:27 pm

Mrs.T.

You bet!

8:27 pm

jmcnrick

8:27 pm

Lady Biotch

8:28 pm

jmcnrick

8:29 pm

Lady Biotch

8:29 pm

jmcnrick

8:31 pm

Lady Biotch

8:32 pm

Lady Biotch

we were all there, Mother, Daddy, my three sisters and my brother.

8:52 pm

8:55 pm

jillibus

hi torg

8:56 pm

JenMO16

is the puzzle worth starting?

8:56 pm

jmcnrick

it took a while for Mother and Daddy to get everyone quiet again and convince them that even if a giant had come in it was gone

8:56 pm

JBV

wow, this is exciting - a babble ghost story!

8:56 pm

jillibus

8:56 pm

jmcnrick

8:57 pm

jmcnrick

8:57 pm

jmcnrick

I looked out the window and saw. . .

8:57 pm

jmcnrick

fairies in a ring dancing in the night -- I poke Mother and she saw them too

8:58 pm

jmcnrick

jmcnrick

8:58 pm

jillibus

8:59 pm

10:13 pm

jillibus

when I was 8 and visiting in England there was a fairy ring where we stayed for a summer holiday. The Irish maid, Nora (I remember her well -- she was fun) told my cousin and me about the fairies but my aunt put a stop to "that nonsense" :-(

10:14 pm

jmcnrick

well poo on your aunt

10:14 pm

jillibus

yes indeed! She said the irish were always telling such tales

10:15 pm

Bugsaw

10:15 pm

jillibus

10:15 pm

jmcnrick

indeed

10:16 pm
