If I have an irrational phobia of a small town in Ohio, does that make me an xe5phobe?

1:34 am

rururocks

you could be an acronaphobe

1:35 am

rururocks

but we should cleve(land) enough alone

1:35 am

Douglas

Akron is a pretty big city

1:36 am

rururocks

(pretty ugly city too)

1:36 am

Andree

thx diz

1:36 am

Douglas

Actually, xenophobe is a real word...it's what people get called when they oppose illegal immigration...it's scary because people don't use it in everyday conversation

1:37 am

gremlinn

not quite that, specifically

1:38 am

gremlinn

I mean, that's not the def. - they do get called that, I agree

1:39 am

Douglas

People could oppose illegal immigration for entirely rational reasons, thus canceling the "phobe" part altogether

1:39 am

gremlinn

I oppose it on legal grounds, heh

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

hubby just returned from site of robbery... scary

1:41 am

gremlinn

I'm in favor of *eventually* opening up free global migration - decades or centuries from now

1:41 am

dizgrannie

yw andree, did you get them?

1:43 am

rururocks

seems to be that "sexwish" should be a word.. I mean.. we have the word deathwish..

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

lol ru

1:44 am

gremlinn

death wish, two words

1:44 am

Andree

yes thx diz

1:44 am

Douglas

Is deathwish actually a word in the Babble dictionary?!?

1:45 am

rururocks

(where's Chrles Bronson when you really need him?)

1:45 am

dizgrannie

luv those Death Wish movies

1:46 am

Douglas

grem knows, ruru, grem knows

1:47 am

gremlinn

he's in the belly of Chuck Norris, of course

1:47 am

Douglas

I don't think I've ever checked to see if Aleut is in the dictionary. It isn't, proper name, yada yada yada

1:47 am

rururocks

1:50 am

3:14 am

herinfernallady

So so long. I have been badgered all day. I am so tired

3:14 am

herinfernallady

what about u?

3:15 am

lynxxx

I'm good

3:15 am

herinfernallady

How is Stew?

3:17 am

lynxxx

He's sleeping - couldn't get his after-morning-walk sleep of 2 hours so he's slept all afternoon! Lazy slugs that they are

3:18 am

herinfernallady

awww

3:20 am

Andree

its a dogs life!!!

3:21 am

herinfernallady

That sounds like me on a day off

3:23 am

lynxxx

I am very happy, I got a new keyboard for my laptop today - Look this whole sentence with no spelling errors!

3:23 am

herinfernallady

I wish that was me now

3:25 am

herinfernallady

Are they expensive to replace?

3:26 am

lynxxx

$60 for the part and I got them to put it in - another $30

3:26 am

herinfernallady

that is not too bad

3:27 am

lynxxx

No - it hasn't cost me anything else in 4 years

3:27 am

Andree

thats pretty good lynxxx

3:28 am

herinfernallady

Touch wood. Laptops can be very expensive

3:29 am

lynxxx

This one cost me $1,600 all up - I am sure my next one would be only half of that. Like TVs they have fallen rapidly in price

3:29 am

herinfernallady

nice

3:30 am

lynxxx

My boy is in the grid!

3:30 am

lynxxx

Hang on - that means Infernal should be in the PB

3:30 am

Andree

i have been looking at a mac and its pretty expensive

3:31 am

lynxxx

why a Mac?

3:31 am

herinfernallady

Not a fan of Macs. If i had the money I would buy one for music and design programs

3:32 am

Andree

my kids all have macs and even the kids can do the most amazing stuff, has amazing programns and best for photos

3:32 am

Andree

all the schools use macs now

3:33 am

lynxxx

I learnt on Apples/Macs yonks ago but have no need for anything fancy and am more than happy with HPs etc

3:33 am

herinfernallady

Macs do have amazing design programs

3:34 am

lynxxx

Apple is very smart/cunning with its marketing

3:34 am

lynxxx

And they charge like wounded bulls unfortunately

3:36 am

Andree

but most of the programns cost almost nothing or come with the computer, one of the benefits

3:36 am

herinfernallady

I really want to put 'shit' into the grid

3:38 am

Andree

anyhow that thought is on hold as daughters boyfriend bought us one for the house, i haven't used it yet still tapping away on my laptop but when i get around to it it will be good practice to see if thats what i want

3:40 am

herinfernallady

At least you get a test run Andree

3:43 am

lynxxx

Hey Andree - did you hear? we are going to be allowed to water 3 times a week rather than 2! But they still want us to maintain the 155 litre target.

3:49 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx that has something to do with Gumby being a complete tool. I have no idea who to vote for this year

3:51 am

Andree

3 times is better than 2, but if you grow veg, not enough

3:52 am

herinfernallady

No we need water to drink. The grey is good for veg. or bore

3:52 am

lynxxx

I don't think the grey is good for veges - ?

3:54 am

herinfernallady

There is tank water too

3:54 am

herinfernallady

Ok no you can't use it as you eat it

3:57 am

lynxxx

How come a city is not considered a proper noun? Still in FL, Scrabbs.

8:07 am

sprite

hi all. Sa7/8 is district administrative headquarters, connected by road and rail to Lahore, and a market for food grains and cotton. However, uncapitalised, it is also one of the best dairy breeds in India and Pakistan. It is tick-resistant, heat-tolerant and noted for its high resistance to parasites, both internal and external.

8:07 am

Anniebrook

correction: the sa7 is the city in Punjab..the sa 8 is a plural

8:07 am

sprite

and good afternoon all

8:07 am

Scrabbler

I was reading a garden catalog last night. They sell packages to set up a complete garden with blooms through each part of season. e.g. 6 x 12 ft garden. For shade, or for sun. I might buy one or two and have instant gardens.

8:16 am

Aloyisius

8:16 am

hego

I hope so.

8:17 am

hego

Yes, Sprite, very nice. So good of you to do it.

8:17 am

Aloyisius

ah, finally found a word to use the "ish" ending

8:17 am

sprite

8:17 am

sprite

8:25 am

Drlemon

The trick in babble is to try anything pronounceable.

8:45 am

sprite

8:46 am

or even remotely resembling a word in any language, Drlemon

8:46 am

Aloyisius

8:49 am

Aloyisius

8:49 am

flosey

a bit more involved, actually Aloy, have a disk in lower back that is a bit out of line

8:49 am

sprite

8:50 am

sprite

meliae

oh lol

8:54 am

meliae

I didnt look it up yet

8:55 am

meliae

I do that when I am finished look up the meanings of new words

8:55 am

sprite

I didn't either, it is the meaning of that word in dutch.

8:56 am

hego

A lot of these words sound like they're in Dutch to me. lol

8:56 am

sprite

lollllll
It means avalanche, if the meaning is the same.

8:57 am

dcseain

quick search tells me that la6 is German, not English, and means avalanche

8:57 am

dcseain

hello. :)

8:57 am

Drlemon

The meaning of po4, which everyone probably has now thanks to me, is a kind of bread made of cornmeal. I learned something today!

8:57 am

sprite

looked it up and yes, it is the same word. It looks so dutch because it is derived from the German.

8:58 am

sprite

thanks Drlemon! One of the fun things of Babble for me is there are always new words to discover.

8:58 am

dcseain

i grew up eating corn po4

8:58 am

hego

very common in south USA Drlemon

8:58 am

sprite

9:05 am

sprite

Drlemon, if you are still here, there is another word that might be new to you (it was for me the first time I say it, anyway). iw4. It means for sure, certain, and it is old english.

9:05 am

sprite

9:08 am

dcseain

are speech-delayed children often slightly developmentally delayed?

9:08 am

sprite

as8: the state of being in cinders
(clue from haz)

9:09 am

sprite

not necessarily, seain. Why?

9:09 am

sciencegeek

ne 6/30 - a unit of force measurement named after Sir Isaac

9:09 am

dcseain

younger nephew seems in some ways immature for 4 is all.

9:10 am

dcseain

but that is partially influence of his much older brother, i think.

9:10 am

sprite

does he hear more than one language often, seain?

9:10 am

meliae

I was speech delayed and it was not true for me I just didnt have anything to say

9:10 am

dcseain

older brother speaks to him in nonsense

9:11 am

dcseain

some Danish

9:11 am

meliae

speech delayed as in does not talk, or specch delayed in enunciation etc

9:11 am

dcseain

some Spanish, and some Chinese

9:11 am

sprite

some children think more than they talk, some are more oriented on seeing and feeling than on hearing. Many things are possible.

9:11 am

dcseain

enunciation and word formation.

9:11 am

dcseain

he had a vocabulary of non-verbal noises he used before the year with the speech pathologist

9:12 am

meliae

another problem is not correcting miss pronciations and letting the child continue on talking 'baby talk"

9:12 am

sprite

ok, children that grow up in a multilingual environment are usually later with talking. But they build up several language systems in that time, so in the end it is a plus. Also, they will make up the time later.

9:12 am

dcseain

yes, that would be older brother influence

9:12 am

hootowl

morning - dc has he had a hearing test?

9:13 am

sprite

hey hootowl!

9:13 am

dcseain

yes, hearing is fine

9:13 am

meliae

9:14 am

hootowl

Ok then big brother is problem. Woulf didn't talk either until 3-4 because we enabled him basically. We'd ask qustions and he's shake his head, ye or no.

9:14 am

sprite

bye seain *hugs*

9:15 am

hootowl

A visit with his cousins - all a little older - cured that fast! They wouldn't allow no answers

9:15 am

sprite

9:16 am

hootowl

my girl couldn't stay dry nights for a long time. Then one night we had forgotten to buy new diapers and no shops open anymore. I decided to give her a couple of my tena lady's to make do. Told her they weren't as good as her diapers.
She looked at them, then at me, and said: " I can do without."
And she could.

9:19 am

hootowl

Yeah - big help. But they did a number on the youngest. My sister had 5 kids and there was a gap between 4 and 5 of about 10 years. The things they taught her!!!!

9:23 am

meliae

and I thought the fig cookie word was a proper noun?

9:23 am

sprite

I think there is no babbler that doesn't share that, merk

9:23 am

sprite

fig cookie?

9:23 am

hootowl

it's used for measuring so also generic and legal

9:24 am

hootowl

but enable wouln't care anyway

9:24 am

meliae

fig ne**** Sprite

9:24 am

hootowl

you don't have fig ne6 there sprite?

9:25 am

sprite

oh ok, it is a measurement here. Not capitalised.

9:25 am

sprite

no we don't, hootowl.

9:25 am

sciencegeek

measurement unit of force

9:25 am

9:27 am

sprite

hey I didn't know that, thanks geek. I was thinking plural dingleberries, but that would be crazy of course... that would be a female ending, lol.

9:27 am

hootowl

oh it probably evens out. We have stuff and you have stuff. And I haven't had one in a while so they may not be as good as I remember them anymore

9:28 am

sprite

welll... we have stroopwaffles... pea soup... chocolate and cookies... the netherlands aren't bad either.

9:28 am

hootowl

Don't be silly Merk. Everyone has different preferences. I don't like Oreos!

9:28 am

hootowl

pea soup cookies???

9:29 am

hootowl

And tx geek

9:29 am

sprite

lol everybody here always talked about oreos and I was really feeling like I was missing out on those. Now the shops have them here as well and I don't like them much either.

10:10 am

Uneaixoise

10:11 am

rururocks

10:11 am

rururocks

It will be way cheaper in brooklyn

10:11 am

Uneaixoise

makes sense, TN is pricey

10:11 am

it has gotten a bit that way here also...it used to be so different in the 70's when I went from the electr company to the gov't.

or they have a minority slot to fill and it stays empty for 3 years till they get the good pr person to fill it

11:46 am

MPittore

You are so right about that crossy...I had several "burps" in my career due to the same thing...gets quite discouraging sometimes...it's not always the "more you know the further you go" such a shame...we need to really concentrate on educating our children and then we won't need such special rules...I think education up through a formal degree or specialized skill would go along way to tune up our country...it should be free and mandatory!

11:47 am

Hi FM. Wasn't really lurking. Have just come in from a day's gardening and feeling very tired!

12:32 pm

I know flosey, I didn't chat for at least a month when I first stated babbling.

I ache in places I didn't know I had.

12:33 pm

FMitch

Afternoon Sally
:) re the aching bits

12:33 pm

I did because of the friend who suggested that I try babble - Jillibus

12:34 pm

flosey

I think everyone knows jilli - and great lady

12:34 pm

FMitch

oh so you can blame jilli then :)

12:34 pm

Sally-catlover

It's so lovely to be able to be out though. I'm not the sort of gardener out there in the rain and bitter wind!

12:34 pm

FMitch

wonderful lady and I love her icons and stories behind them expecially when related to her family.

12:35 pm

flosey

indeed, lol, incidentally, her computer is 'laid up' at the moment, she asked me to explain why she isn't in until it's up and running again - soon we're hoping

12:35 pm

oh thanks for that flosey, hope she will be back here soon.

12:36 pm

12:40 pm

I have done a lot of my family tree, FM, it can be very addictive. Have had to put it aside just for now.

12:41 pm

Vicuna

My mother does genealogy, so I get to reap all the fun facts without doing any of the work!

12:41 pm

I managed to get bac to 1798 just from family docs but now the hard word starts.

12:41 pm

and a s usual my typing is going to pot :(

12:41 pm

flosey

my aunt did ours, going back, somewhat sketchily, to 1500s

12:42 pm

FMitch

wow flosey that is a good time line

12:42 pm

crosshair

i was able to trace back to the 1400,s seems our holding was sacked as it was at some important border or another lol

12:42 pm

flosey

wow crossy, that's great

12:43 pm

FMitch

1400 even more wow

12:43 pm

Vicuna

Some branches of ours go back forever. But my mother, who has a PhD in history, found a number of false links, especially from genealogists in the Victorian era when it was fashionable to hitch onto royalty and all...

12:43 pm

crosshair

other than 3 or exeptions,we were cutthroats and theives

12:43 pm

flosey

ours were in US at the earliest we know - some came from England but there's some french in there somewhere

12:44 pm

Vicuna

But we do have some legitimate royalty links, and once you hook onto them then the royal historians go back to the Dark Ages. (Of course, some of them were a little too eager, too...)

12:44 pm

FMitch

I come from a good stock of blacksmiths and farmers

12:44 pm

Sally-catlover

Really crossy? You are very lucky to have found records going back that far. On my father's side I am back to 1686, but a cousin did some of the early stuff. On my mother's side I have got back to 1777, all verified.

12:45 pm

Vicuna

More pride in that than the royalty, FM!

12:45 pm

crosshair

lol we have royal links as well,my grandas granda was boinking good queen vic when she was but 18 or 19 and he was a member of british plarliment;0

12:46 pm

FMitch

Hi Barb

12:46 pm

Sally-catlover

Now that is really interesting FM. Real family history, not just dates.

12:47 pm

Vicuna

Yes, it's always more fun to know the stories.

12:47 pm

FMitch

I sat down with my mum and ner mum and went through family photos and got so much info from that (Gran died so I was able to capture a lot of info).

12:47 pm

flosey

I have a painting (watercolours) of the home that was given to my great grandmother as a wedding present from her mother - with the history that surrounds the painting

good for you FM, unfortunately, I wasn't interested early enough to talk to my grandmother about it - she would have been a wealth of information

12:49 pm

Barb's Horses

brb...trying to download a picture for my profile.

12:49 pm

Sally-catlover

I have a bible box my grandfather gave my grandmother! Dated in the 1700s, so not of their own time.

12:49 pm

flosey

but I had always admired this painting as a kid, so my mother remembered that

12:50 pm

Sally-catlover

I use it to keep candles in (not bibles).

12:50 pm

crosshair

nice bible indeed sally,should get book doctor gwen to rebind it for you

12:50 pm

FMitch

I am building up to going through the photos again as my mumis getting on and I want to capture more of the family stories and history as once she is gone ....

12:50 pm

flosey

but lovely to have these old and cherished items Sally

12:50 pm

Vicuna

That's really smart, FM.

12:51 pm

Sally-catlover

No, crossy, a bible box, not a bible. They were used for keeping the large family bible in.

12:51 pm

Vicuna

I'd been keeping notes of a lot of my father-in-laws family stories, and I've lost the folder I kept them all in! Aaargh!

12:51 pm

crosshair

oh,just the box;(

12:52 pm

FMitch

Oh I have a family bible - huge one with brass clasps, any one esle have one?

12:52 pm

flosey

ah Vic, so sad to lose - perhaps they'll turn up again

12:52 pm

Sally-catlover

FM, I asked my mother to write down who was on some of the family photos. Whem I went through her things I found an envelope marked Special Photos. Good old Mum, I thought. Then I looked a the first one. On the back she had written "Me"!

12:52 pm

flosey

my mom lost one box of pictures, etc. that went astray during a move

12:52 pm

Vicuna

I very much hope so, flosey. They've got to be SOMEWHERE in the house, surely.

12:53 pm

FMitch

oh sally (())

12:53 pm

Vicuna

My grandmother's oldest sister inherited all the photos from that side of the family. She proceeded to say, "No one wants this old stuff" and threw them all away! *sob*

12:54 pm

Sally-catlover

My bible box is a bit like this, crossy. Not a bad thing to have, I can assure you!: http://www.countryliving.com/cm/countr

12:54 pm

Sally-catlover

Yes, it's lovely.

12:56 pm

crosshair

ahh yes sally,ive seen these before,very nice indeed

12:56 pm

Vicuna

On the other side of the family, my grandfather's cousin saved *everything*, to the extent that when she died her house was just one solid packed mass of dusty stuff. Could there not, perhaps, be some sort of balance? lol

12:57 pm

FMitch

Time for me to get on and do things which means I need to cook something and will be back in a bit :)
Thanks for that great chat.

12:57 pm

How is work going Katie - are you in routine yet after all the change?

4:32 pm

KatieMcG

it's hard at the moment with the end of the financial year and I've got to recruit in to a vacancy that is coming up, but I had my review today and my boss is really please which added to the fact that I love it makes it all worth while

4:34 pm

mcurlschool

well, no; out team didn't do so hot but the state champion team is from our district

4:34 pm

KatieMcG

it's very specific and the closing date is not until Friday so i'm not sure yet. we got hundreds last time but the market is picking up and few will meet the criteria. I'm hoping I end up with a couple to choose from

4:35 pm

stidmama

oh -- LOL I was looking at the wrong team? oh well, I still think just making it to state is pretty impressive.

4:35 pm

stidmama

*very glad I am neither applying for jobs nor hiring at the moment*

4:35 pm

bichon

hi and good day

4:35 pm

mcurlschool

yes I think so as well. One of our girls will play at Western and another for the Cougs

4:36 pm

anyone have a hint for the as8?

4:36 pm

The economic report on the news says that consumer spending is up. I am indeed finding myself spending....as everything is on sale.

4:36 pm

stidmama

that's excellent! good fror them.

4:36 pm

KatieMcG

the one who is leaving is the one who didn't get my job so whilst it will be a pain in the short term it will be best for both of us in the long run. He is changing careers and got a good job so all is well that ends well

4:36 pm

mcurlschool

now with my sports all over for the year, I can concentrate on the new grandbaby coming in Sept

4:37 pm

i find interviewing very stressful at the moment as everyone is so desperate and it means so much to people

4:37 pm

stidmama

oooh! another person to make room for at the holidays! *big happy mama grin* good for you, and your children.

4:37 pm

redturtlehead

that is tough. I tend not to be on the hiring end. though on occasion we do peer interviews

4:37 pm

mcurlschool

it's this daughter's first and will make one for each of my three!

4:37 pm

stidmama

yes, the pain of knowing how much people NEED jobs and the reality that we can't find jobs for everyone who applies.

4:38 pm

redturtlehead

very exciting mcurl!

4:38 pm

KatieMcG

how exciting mcrulschool

4:48 pm

stidmama

well, go pretend you're four years old and be a windmill so the toxin doesn't stay in one place, smooth! keep it moving and it will hurt less tomorrow.

4:48 pm

stidmama

I am not a fan of tetanus boosters, myself.

4:49 pm

smooth_pappa

eah, that's what the told me to do.... so I am flapping around wildly. lol

4:49 pm

stidmama

BUT I would be less a fan of actual lockjaw!

smooth_pappa

HA! exactly ;)

4:49 pm

4:50 pm

smooth_pappa

actually, I have a sink full of dishes that need attention, does the washing motion count was waving arms? lol

4:50 pm

stidmama

I think it does... if you aren't wimpy. *looks at smooth* scrub like you mean it!!!!

4:50 pm

stidmama

*ignoring own sink of dishes*

4:51 pm

smooth_pappa

the stupid thing that I did was to have them give me the booster, and draw blood from the same arm...

4:51 pm

stidmama

??? why is that stupid?

4:51 pm

cybernan

et 6, please?

4:52 pm

smooth_pappa

because the spot where they drew blood from bruised a little, and waving my tetnaus around makes the blood-draw site feel a little of. lol actually, I think i's just the bandaid pulling at my skin... maybe I should just take it off.

4:52 pm

stidmama

don't have that yet nan *sits and waits for the clue*

4:53 pm

cybernan

piece of choc. cake while you're waiting, stid?

4:53 pm

stidmama

if it was more than a couple hours ago, you probably don't need the bandaid. Unless it's star wars or scooby doo, then you need it.

hi jessas

7:12 pm

7:12 pm

Dorens

well jess, be careful of what you ask for.. if certain folks were here, something might hit you, but not what you would want

7:12 pm

JessasMom

lol

7:13 pm

Dorens

i've heard of them but haven't tasted them,, sure i would like them though.. anything with wi**, particularly red wi** (but it doesn't go with omelets)

7:13 pm

JessasMom

still got 80 to go...was surprised I found that many at 1:00am last night (this morning?)

7:13 pm

redturtlehead

best with coffee...

7:14 pm

Certainly an easier grid than yesterday's

7:14 pm

Dorens

i like coffee! sometimes more than wi**

7:14 pm

Dorens

yup - this is zipping along very quickly

7:14 pm

redturtlehead

I like coffee more than wi**, since I cant remember the last time I had Wi**

7:14 pm

Bugsaw

I am going to look for a recipe for those

7:15 pm

wht

coffee in the morning. Wine in the evening. Life is good.

7:15 pm

Ooops. Dorens, pass that bottle over here as I join you in the PB.

7:15 pm

Dorens

coffee at 5:00 though.. and wht to the pb, keeping me company

7:15 pm

redturtlehead

I found one on line, and have not tried it yet, I rather wi** I could jsut buy them.

7:16 pm

Dorens

i had a fourth grade girl in my office today because she wh***s too much, and her friends told her to stop acting like a baby, so she did it more. she has a temper problem, too. it's funny though, cause i can't remember when i said the word wh*** as much as i did today

7:17 pm

Dorens

7:17 pm

redturtlehead

4th grade can be a difficult time...

7:18 pm

wht

Do you have, perhaps a shiraz?

7:18 pm

Dorens

and my office is right around the corner from the fourth graders... three times a week i have to deal with the girls' issues after lunch. but i can't complain... if Christie cuts the budget enough, I won't have a job next year

7:19 pm

Dorens

shiraz? not with a goat cheese omelet!

7:19 pm

wht

You are right. Chablis it is.

7:19 pm

Bugsaw

it makes it hard to keep doing your job the best you can every day when you don't know if you will ever get to do it again, doesn't it Dorens

7:19 pm

wht

I forgot the entree

7:20 pm

Dorens

yup.. i've had a pretty stressful week at work.. then no electricity from saturday till today. and ken in fl so he can't distract me with dazzling dinners and wine, as he usually does

7:20 pm

Dorens

i like chablis better than chardonnay

7:21 pm

redturtlehead

thats awful dorens! and feel good that at least ken is not very warm

7:22 pm

Dorens

may i please have a clue for the last st 6/18 .. so i can go and situate myself in my bedroom and be ready to wake up and leave my house at 6 :45 AM!!! cause we are selling green bagels for breakfast as a fund raiser

7:22 pm

wht

So did you get flooded Dorens?

7:22 pm

redturtlehead

I would like to buy one Dorens....but you get no sympathy from me, I leave thehouse each day at 5 am...

7:22 pm

Dorens

he's in sanibel, red... says it's just lovely there.
no, not flooded wht.. i live on top of a hill... but lots of trees around and they took out a lot of electric lines

7:23 pm

Bugsaw

when you said green bagels, I immediately thot they were mouldy!

7:23 pm

wht

It is like the one before it but with a different vowel

7:23 pm

redturtlehead

well, I am trying to make you feel better, we have nt hit the 80's yet.

7:23 pm

redturtlehead

no elec is really frustrating

7:23 pm

Dorens

red... i usually leave at 8... i go to sleep late, and with the time change and all, i barely woke up this morning by 7:15... now i have to be in school at that time tomorrow... i need much luck, a lot of that wi** and maybe some pills as well

7:23 pm

wht

I live on a hill as well, Dorens. Helps when you get 7 inches of rain on a weekend.

7:24 pm

Bugsaw

unless your house starts slipping wht

7:24 pm

Dorens

indeed wht. and since Ken and I don't live together, I just moved into his palace and lived like a queen

7:24 pm

redturtlehead

the time change has been harder on me than usual...it is a killer!!!

7:25 pm

Dorens

thanks for that clue wht... i had thought of that word but guess i never actually tried it

7:25 pm

Bugsaw

good thing you don't live in California after all the fires take out trees that hold the houses on

7:25 pm

redturtlehead

7:26 pm

Dorens

i am now done. going to clean up the kitchen (looks like a whirlwind hit it) and try to get to bed by 9!! see you tomorrow
