I once did a really dumb fall, straight forward, on a slope with acrust on the snow. Stuck my arms right down into it, with my poles still in my hands, so I couldn't move - had to wait for everybody else to climb back up and dig me out. I had sunburn on the backs of my legs and forstbitten fingers!

1:02 am
gremlinn
It seemed to be, but it wasn't totally clear whether it was an annual day or just that one particular day prophesied in advance.
1:02 am
Douglas
I showed him an attempt at translating the Jabberwock poem into French. He was most amused
1:03 am
jillibus
I am NOT going to see the latest distortion of Alice in Wonderland
1:03 am
MizHoffle
I think it was prophesied...and see it in 3-D if you can
1:03 am
westford
I do like Johnny Depp though
1:03 am
gremlinn
I saw it in 3-D IMAX
1:03 am
Douglas
The translator assumed that "brillig" was a weather condition of some sort, and thus translated it "Il brilgue..."
1:04 am
MizHoffle
IMAX would be even better, as long as you don't mind that sort of thing
1:04 am
jillibus
Il is not French
1:05 am

Where did they "translate" the Jabberwocky?? Hollywood??
1:10 am
westford
wtg doug that was my last bt too
1:11 am
MizHoffle
it's just a movie and should go into thinking just that, then it becomes a good movie, not a retelling of a story and they don't try to pretend that either
1:12 am
gremlinn
definitely - it's explicitly a sequel to the original
1:12 am
Douglas
Erda, I saw it many years ago in a book by Douglas Hofsteder
1:13 am
Erda
I just saw it in -- well, words...
1:13 am
MizHoffle
just my opinion, I get kind of touchy when people complain about movies when they expect it to be exactly like their imaginations and unfortunately it will never happen
1:13 am
gremlinn
MizHoffle, my dislike is when people get angry when movies/books are made or remade - it doesn't ruin the original, and no one forces anyone to watch!
1:14 am
MizHoffle
If I go in with moderate expectations or knowing that it won't be exact and am okay with that
1:14 am
Douglas
Il brilgue: les tôves lubricilleux

1:14 am

1:15 am
jillibus
oh doug, that's merveilleux!
1:15 am
MizHoffle
and I am not meaning any disrespect to anyone

no storms, ruru -- the first was because of an IP address conflict after the telephone company switched to a fster broadband, or something. No idea what caused last night

doug -- I've emailed that link to my son
1:23 am

My son wants to be a Chinese/English interpretor/translator when older, so just thinking about translating that poem was a mind-expanding experience for him.

ruby we have all kinds of bulb flowers springing up but so far only the leaves are showing except for the crocuses and daffodils
1:56 am

trouble is once they bloom they don't stay for very long

Oh, it would seem Lickety's clues are for yesterday's grid. That would explain.
1:56 am
rubyfoo
unfortunately, our daffs are where the dogs play and many are squshed. Once the daffs are gone, the true garden will start to take shape - no more yellow or orange, just shades of pink, rose, purple, blue, red and salmon with a little white.
1:57 am
rubyfoo
also the "bear" garlic is coming up on the dogs' graves
1:57 am
westford
your garden is most beautiful
1:57 am
gremlinn
if patterns continue, Lickety will likely announce clues in 6 minutes - or you could see my profile for the not quite so handy version
1:58 am

I really appreciate your clues grem even if you don't have little boxes
1:58 am

you have saved my you know what many a day

Daffs are appearing in Minnesota. Winter was unceremoniously kicked to the curb in March, very unMinnesoty

no, when I lived in northern NY state, we had black ice until April or even May, it was nasty!

We seem to be scarcely populated at the minute.
3:38 am
mummy
hi haz, i'm lurking in the background, day off today
3:39 am
lynxxx
We have just finished day light savings so not sure who is up, when or how yet
3:39 am
Haz1558
Hello mummy, it's typical, a day off and you get a grid this size.
3:39 am
rubyfoo
hello, I'm back
3:39 am
rubyfoo
hy lynxx and haz and mummy
3:40 am
Haz1558
Hello, ruby.
3:40 am
mummy
it's good that it's small otherwise I'd be here all day and achieve nothing else
3:40 am
rubyfoo
hello trif
3:41 am
Haz1558
That's a sensible way of looking at it. It's the best user up of time that I know.
3:41 am
rubyfoo
I hope we get a little rain, then I have an excuse not to do any gardening AND it will be easier to pull weeds after!
3:41 am
rubyfoo
interesting phantom: halvah!
3:42 am
mummy
hubby is upstairs trying to fix my friends computer hich died on her yesterday, i'd better go and get showered as I have hit the wall on the grid now
3:43 am
Haz1558
Enjoy the rest of the day, mummy.
3:43 am
lynxxx
oh - a region in Victorian country - also a brushwood - ma6.21 (like a guy with a helping of double letters)
3:43 am
rubyfoo
bye mummy, btw, do you have rain?
3:44 am
Haz1558
Thanks, lynxxx.
3:44 am
lynxxx
and a very timely phantom too Ruby
3:44 am
mummy
I have reached my daily half way target may come back for the other 44 later, catch you al then, bye for now, Ruby we had torrential rain in the nigh tbut it is dry now.
3:44 am
rubyfoo
why, besides the fact I'd like some?
3:45 am
rubyfoo
We need a little rain every day for my nascent moss to survive. Otherwise I stand out there like a fool spritzing it
3:46 am
lynxxx
sorry, misread you Ruby - read matzah
3:46 am
rubyfoo
they call Matzah here French flat bread, lol
3:47 am
rubyfoo
and they call Passover Jewish Easter
3:48 am
rubyfoo
definitely odd country!
3:49 am
rubyfoo
why isn't seacow a word?
3:50 am
Haz1558
I think it's more likely that they call Easter, Christian passover. The name they use is Paque, which I reckon comes from paschal lamb, more a passover concept than Easter.
3:50 am
lynxxx
is there such a thing?
3:50 am
rubyfoo
you're probably right, haz, but they don't see it that way and our local restaurant made goat! ????
3:51 am
Haz1558
Paque, with a hat over the a indicating that an s is missing - don't have the French accents!
3:52 am
rubyfoo
I don't have them either and have an English keyboard, to boot
3:52 am
Haz1558
We visited friends in France last year and I was thoroughly confused with the different layout of the French keyboard.
3:52 am
rubyfoo
so what looks like a pound sign is really a # lurking underneath
3:53 am
rubyfoo
my husband has a French keyboard and the a's and q's are reversed and the m is in the wrong place and you have to shift to use the period. I type very fast on mine, hardly type at all on his
4:08 am
rubyfoo
no have lol
4:09 am
rubyfoo
anybody have the 7?
4:09 am
lynxxx
and you don't behave either
4:09 am
Haz1558
It's fe7 - a plural.
4:10 am
rubyfoo
good phantom
4:10 am
rubyfoo
ty haz, my monkeys found it right away
4:10 am
Haz1558
You're welcome.
4:11 am
rubyfoo
isn't malvah (or something close) the Latin word for hollyhocks?
4:13 am
Haz1558
Malvaceae or something like that, from the mallow family.
4:13 am
Haz1558
According to google...
4:13 am
rubyfoo
thank you, I thought it was close
4:14 am
rubyfoo
here it's called rose tremiere and I had theym for two years, gorgeous double dark red ones and they disappeared!
4:14 am
rubyfoo
what I've learned with this garden is that perennials are not necessarily perennial!
4:15 am
Haz1558
Perennial in theory and in the right place, I suppose.
4:16 am
rubyfoo
I see simple ones, usually white, growing like weeds. Perhaps these were too inbred!
4:17 am
Haz1558
Time for a break, maybe see you later on. Bye for now.
4:18 am
lynxxx
bye Haz, have a good day
4:18 am
rubyfoo
I'll bet haz has a great garden!
4:19 am
rubyfoo
lynxx, do you have any fruit trees, particularly "nelliekelley"?
4:22 am
lynxxx
no fruit tree - but I have a Nelliekelly passionfruit - they are a vine and scramble about 4 metres wide. You have to cut them back by about a third each year. Only fruit well for 3/4 years
4:23 am
rubyfoo
I ask because that's my real name (sort of) or at least official nickname and an Australian friend told me about them. It's too funny. Are they any good; I've never eaten a passion fruit; here they're small and black and round, in the exotic fruit market
4:25 am
lynxxx
They are small black and round usually. Delicious on the inside though...quite tart which makes them great with sweet things...like fruit salad or with cream
4:26 am
rubyfoo
OK, I'll stop being intimidated and will try one next Monday and let you know
4:28 am
rubyfoo
time for husband's Campari. See you later
4:28 am
lynxxx
only eat the inside of course! cut in half with sharp knife but quickly straighten them up or you will lose the pulp...you eat the pulp and the seeds

Being sick, bedridden can cause confusion. Was he confused prior to this setback?

NonoNanette
somewhat at times but not like he has been lately.

Probably not.
7:54 am
hego
Do you want to?
7:55 am

My problem exactly, Phae. I'm not completely ANTI drugs, they have their place, but I'm fairly sure it's heroin, which I wouldn't go near

hego
worse even. get rid of it.
8:01 am
jmitch
i would flush it......you never know what has been added or substituted.
8:02 am

well I'm a little scared of technology, Annie ;) as long as it works(ish) I tend to leave it alone. but then I live in a flat where everything is broken, breaking or about to break ;)

I'm getting better at it.
8:26 am
Nancy Boy
I just feel like they're all going to go off in my face. And they're too noisy. Our internet box thing has been growling at us recently
8:27 am
hego
internet box thing?
8:27 am
Nancy Boy
yeah, you know, the box that the internet comes out of. There is a proper name for it. Hub?
8:27 am

I do know they won't blow up. lol
8:29 am
Nancy Boy
Lol! maybe. But it's very technical looking, very smooth and aerodynamic, and it has lights on. It's very tribal. Strange engravings on it, "connection", "broadband"...

That's the modem, alright.

Oh I am back. I have just put in a transfer request to go back to my old hospital, but in a different job. Wonder what will become of that. :(
8:59 am
Nef
((((Red)))) sorry that this job isn't what you had hoped for
8:59 am
Aloyisius
hi Babblers.. red, you don't mean in N.C. do you?
8:59 am
redturtlehead
Well, it has improved slightly, but they have posted an infection control position, which would be a really good career move.
9:00 am
redturtlehead
No, no I love Florida.
9:00 am
Nef
oh! Infection Control can be a lot of hard work; but a great change!
9:00 am
redturtlehead
I was all set to take the first infection control couse on my own, but whoa, it costs 800.00!
9:01 am
redturtlehead
I have always thought it was a really cool way to imapct a lot of people, both health care workers and patients...
9:02 am
Nef
I know an IF nurse in Hawaii who really loves her job and has done some neat stuff with the H1N1 prep
9:02 am
redturtlehead
I don't know though if I can manage that one, maybe drop by the hospital today after my appointment and work some connections.
9:02 am

I hate to say it Nef, but I do see it as a job I could do "forever" the ED is sooo labor intensive.
9:06 am
crosshair
mmm,a toasted jumbo cheese bagel with vegetable cream cheese and a nice hot cuppa;)))) morning all;)
9:06 am
Aloyisius
yumm, hi crossy!
9:06 am
redturtlehead
hi Cross. You are making me double hungry!
9:09 am
Nef
I agree that the ED is labor intensive, red. But then again, any hospital staff nurse position is very labor intensive. With the number of overweight patients there are, I don't think there is a light staff nurse job in hospitals these days
9:10 am
Aloyisius
wahoo for flosey, congrats!!!
9:10 am
Nef
YAY, flosey!!!! WTG!!!!

flosey
guess not, I'll be off then, back at flip
9:13 am
Nef
crossy, I used to handle 250-300 # patients all by myself every day in ICU. We'd get them up and out of bed at least once or twice a shift after heart surgery (often while intubated) and rarely had extra help to do that
9:13 am
Aloyisius
hagd, flosey!
9:13 am
Nef
bye flosey. Hi harp
9:13 am
crosshair
ohh your a strong one;))
9:14 am
harpjane
how many letters in the top o please?
9:16 am
Nef
crossy the difference between the ED pts. red works with and the pts. I used to work with is the anxiety and fear (which causes them to lash out at the nurses) in the ED
9:19 am
redturtlehead
oh yes, I agree, I would never though consider working on a floor anymore, and I rather wasn't the ICU sort...
9:19 am
crosshair
i have indeed heard of this in nursing from my sister in law and i am not making light of what must be a very hard job indeed
9:19 am

I am venting a bit, and probably will remin in the ED forever, soooo.
9:21 am
crosshair
good stuff,can we talk about bacon now? lol
9:22 am
Nef
you weren't crossy. I wasn't offended. But I do think people don't realize what nursing is because we don't ever tell what we do. I hate when people think nurses are like what they see on TV
9:22 am
crosshair
or seamed stockings?
9:22 am
crosshair
i know,my s-i-l worked in trauma for 15 years
9:22 am

9:24 am
Nef
I've been an RN for 41 years now, 34 in ICU. Loved it; but OTJ foot injury killed that career.
9:24 am

That is amazng nef. I've been doing this only ten years, definitely time for a change.

Nef
I totally loved it, red. I cared for 1 or 2 patients at a time; very intense; but I could focus on the person (while keeping tabs on the machines) The person was always first to me. Made it easy to do
9:27 am
Nef

sorry, phone rang and I hit enter by mistake. the ER is now many rooms, so it's graduated to the ED
9:30 am
crosshair
the best person in a medical position is one that can can be in the trenches for a long time and still not treat patients like breathing pieces of meat.i find cancer professionals the best and walk in clinics the worst.but here they are all grossly over worked and under staffed so i just smile and squeeze my fist and get that vein popping;0
9:30 am

guernseygirl
what do you mean, Phoenix?
10:14 am
Phoenixbaby
when I open "Lickety's Babble Clues" they are for yesterday's grid.

close it or refresh, phoenix. That usually helps me

i had the same problem but i got a list from someone else, trouble is i can't remember who.

Phoenixbaby
I am not too worried about it really.
10:17 am
the Duck
Lickety still has yesterday's clues for me too. Might be it just hasn't been updated yet.
10:17 am
the Duck
And since I didn't babble yesterday, there's no chance it's cached ;)
10:17 am
helensgirlkid
gremlinn has a list up on his profile
10:17 am
Nef
aah. I haven't listed yet (30 to go)
10:18 am

I haven't either... just thought I'd take a peek. I'm afraid technical Support is in my blood, I can't escape it
10:18 am
Phoenixbaby
Duck--I'm still new to this game, that's the first thing I do!
10:19 am
guernseygirl
i can usually do about half before i get stuck and have to list.
10:20 am
Nef
Phoenix, don't sweat it. There are days I go to the list early; but most of the time I wait til halfway before listing. And some days I don't list at all.
10:20 am
the Duck
I usually use Babble to reset my brain when I get stuck on a work-related problem, usually programming. It's weird, but popping in and finding a few words tends to get my thinking in other areas back on track :)
10:20 am

don't feel bad, my mostly indoor dog, Max, just got through a seige of sarcoptic mange (diagnosed by Ata and Haz) and treated by my local vet. Makes you feel like a bad mother!

10:23 am
guernseygirl
it's funny how some cat's will do that. the one i have now wouldn't be seen dead with me outside the house.
10:23 am
rubyfoo
not like my chow chows who would never be trustable off the leash; they'd come home eventually but would just take off!
10:23 am
guernseygirl
you must have been terrified the first time they did that.
10:24 am
the Duck
There used to be a stray cat that would follow me about 10 paces behind when I walked my dog.
10:24 am
helensgirlkid
Congrats, mix

rubyfoo
and my Ruby used to escape from the garden, digging under the fence, finding small holes, it was awful. And she'd watch and wait for any opportunity to escape. She's settled down more now, but I still don't trust her.
10:25 am
rubyfoo
Otherwise, she's the perfect dog!
10:25 am
Nef
the cat that currently lives here is a long tailed Manx. I had a tail-less Manx (this ones' brother) several years ago; and Manx cats are very easy to train. They will come when you call, fetch, heel, etc.
10:25 am
helensgirlkid
My daughter had to take one of her cats to the vet for its first post-spay visit without a box (the other cat had destroyed both boxes while she was looking for the quiet one) and the cat climbed right up onto her head as soon as they got outside, and they went all the way to the vet like that - on the bus!
10:25 am
rubyfoo
that's a riot, nef, so herding cats doesn't apply to Manx'

blueheron
hotter than hades peppers peri
12:22 pm
rubyfoo
another we4/8 (smalls), wh4/9 x 2, going fast and stopping
12:22 pm
periwinkle
ok, I like hot peppers but that one b=may be too hot for me
12:22 pm
rubyfoo
the hottest, I think. My husband likes them in his chicken salad and in his omelets. I have to wear gloves to cut them up or they burn my hands
12:23 pm
hego
It's the very hottest Peri.
12:23 pm
periwinkle
the ac is on in the house and I am freezing. I am wearing a sweater
12:23 pm
hego
Many times hotter than the next.
12:23 pm
rubyfoo
yes, hego, that's the other name. Here they call them chilis d'Antilles
12:23 pm
jessmom
according to Man vs. Food, the ghost chili is the hottest.
12:24 pm
rubyfoo
it's crazy that he eats them but not my problem
12:24 pm
rubyfoo
what's a ghost chili
12:24 pm
jaybo33
i have pet conchs
12:24 pm
rubyfoo
no, "Piments d'Antille"
12:25 pm
jaybo33
wanna play with my conch?
12:25 pm
rubyfoo
we used to tow our friend with the sailboat and he would dive for conch and toss them in the dinghy
12:25 pm
hego
sounds obscene
12:25 pm
rubyfoo
is jay naighty?
12:26 pm
periwinkle
I have watched Man vs Food. I can't believe the stuff he eats
12:26 pm
hego
Is that an indecent proposal?
12:26 pm
rubyfoo
I was able to get frozen conch in Miami; the closest thing here is scungilli [sp?] which isn't close at all
12:26 pm
rubyfoo
I didn't know my husband was on TV
12:26 pm
jessmom
the ghost chili is the bhut jolokia pepper
12:26 pm
periwinkle
scungilli, I thought that was squid
12:27 pm
periwinkle
hah ruby
12:27 pm
rubyfoo
no, it's a kind of shell fish I think. Squid is calamari
12:27 pm
bichon
I had conch in Belize. Like chewing rubber bands
12:27 pm
rubyfoo
like a nasty clam
12:27 pm
periwinkle
right, got confuse there
12:27 pm
hego
It's a big snail
12:28 pm
periwinkle
have had calamari but not scungilli
12:28 pm
hego
My grandma used to cook them. Ugh!
12:28 pm
rubyfoo
after it marinates in the sour orange juice, it softens up a little
12:28 pm
periwinkle
had snail many years ago on vacation In Puerto Rico
12:28 pm
jessmom
the ghost chili measures 850,000 - 1,050,000 on the scoville scale, the scotch bonnet 100,000-350,000
12:28 pm
bichon
isn't that what periwinkles are, snails. Am I incorrect
12:28 pm
periwinkle
sometimes it is better to not know what you are eating
12:28 pm
rubyfoo
I'll eat any kind of seafood except if it's farmed.
12:29 pm
rubyfoo
the snails we eat are terrestrial, periwinkles are from the ocean
12:29 pm
periwinkle
a periwinkle is a purple flower
12:29 pm
bichon
that's what I love about Babble, constantly learning new things
12:29 pm
hego
it is also some kind of snail or clam
12:30 pm
rubyfoo
I once tried making fresh (live) snails, but you have to purge them for two days and they kept getting out of the pot! Don't try this at home!
12:30 pm
periwinkle
I did not know that about periwinkles, will have to gooogle it
12:31 pm
rubyfoo
The only thing I've eaten live was "dancing shrimp" in a sushi bar. Drink enough sake and you can eat anything, I've learned
12:31 pm
CadFan
Drink enouhg Sake and you can fall over a fence and separate your shoulder and not even know it for two days....
12:31 pm
poodletoes
good reason to stay away from sake
12:32 pm
rubyfoo
that sounds like a personal experience, cadfan!
12:32 pm
poodletoes

12:36 pm

12:45 pm
ADHDWordLover

12:46 pm
rubyfoo
but the meringue was wonderful
12:46 pm
ADHDWordLover
i'm not big on pies and regular cakes; i prefer coffee cake kinda stuff... despise frosting
12:47 pm
rubyfoo
they have something here called quatre quart (or something like that) which is actually pound cake, delish with rum, you might like it ADHD
12:48 pm
ADHDWordLover

12:50 pm
Atalante

12:50 pm
rubyfoo

12:51 pm
Atalante
fine, fine. my hand is multi-coloured!
12:51 pm
ADHDWordLover
that was quite brave of you
12:51 pm
Atalante
I know, never get between fighting dogs, but it was easier than waiting for hobbit to need a vet!
12:51 pm
rubyfoo
my husband did that once and had to go to the emergency room for stitches
12:51 pm
hego
that's too bad Ata. You had too.
12:51 pm
Atalante
of course, straight after they were best friends again *facepalm*
12:52 pm
Atalante
I did pop down to the dr but he said I'd cleaned the wounds fine, and I'm up to date on tetanus, so he said just keep an eye on it and come straight back if it gets infected
12:52 pm
ADHDWordLover
aren't you supposed to turn a hose on them?
12:53 pm
Atalante
you are ... but this was inside and no ho4 to hand LOL

Mom
oh sure, Red.
6:15 pm
72 Temple Owl
stuck at 64
6:15 pm
redturtlehead
It might, but I think the worst that could happen is that I have to talk to the IRS. I really wish they would just sometimes take my money rather than make me fill out all of their forms. I am getting a refund but I would rather them take it than have to do that again.
6:15 pm
dcseain
yes, mh4.6
6:16 pm

My Mom got a letter from them this year telling her she made an error and owed some 2K more. She wrote them back, and about 3 months later...they wrote and apologized as she had done ti correctly...I think the days of a nasty audit for something small are over...
6:18 pm
Mom
Hopefully, it will all turn out good, Red
6:19 pm
redturtlehead
yea, well, lets hope so...
6:19 pm
Mom
I would be sick over that Red
6:19 pm
Mom
did get the state refund back in 2 weeks though
6:20 pm
redturtlehead
Well, I filed, and I honestly got so confused about the house sale, the whole thing was rather messy this year. Each year I hope for less and less complication, but....
6:20 pm
redturtlehead
No state tax here, thank God!
6:20 pm
72 Temple Owl
i am falling asleep here
6:20 pm
Mom
less and less complication .... have a CPA do it and I believe the cost or a portion of it is tax deductible
6:20 pm
Mom
oh TO, get a nap and come back
6:20 pm
72 Temple Owl
red, no cpa? unuaual events beg for them
6:21 pm
redturtlehead
It would have been rather simple if I had managed to save the home sale documents. I just did it with turbo tax....
6:21 pm
72 Temple Owl

Hmmm...did he drive a porsche?

I think his ex lived somewhere on the south shore
8:10 pm

I guess he could have had a porshe before I knew him, but only an RX7 that I know of....he had an ex before me in Billerica

I only dated this guy for 6 months. I got tired of hearing the details of what he wore to aerobics class on the phone
8:13 pm
JessasMom
unfortunately, I hung in there for 10+ years....young and foolish I was...while he was older, controlling and just a jerk
8:13 pm
KrisE
so sorry - when you're young it's hard to recognize the controlling older guys. They just seem so ...masterful somehow
8:14 pm
JessasMom
yeah, I was way too young to get married, only 21, while he was 33 and just seemed to *know* everything...
8:15 pm
KrisE
yup. sounds like par
8:15 pm
JessasMom
ok, I've got one left, an wh 5, 20 and it's making me crazy....a little hint?
8:16 pm

he picked someone 12 years younger just for that effect

8:18 pm
KrisE
mh4 is weird
8:18 pm
JessasMom
yeah, for such a small grid, there were some really odd words
8:19 pm
KrisE
probably the same number as usual, but just not so outnumbered by more common words
8:19 pm
JessasMom
probably true, I don't end up finishing the really large ones, so probably don't get to all the odd words
8:19 pm
KrisE
I think I'll ready myself for sleeping and see if there's any dumb tv to watch. Probably a good chance :)

Hi smooth_pappa! How are you? Welcome to the grid!
8:50 pm
Minveryork
Ah5/12 babbers!I can do a story of clues now since I am done with the grid.I will write about a famous ma 4/5 in Hollywood,al4/5 Baldwin,since he's in the grid. I don't know too much about Al 4/5 Baldwin like if he is a vegetarian or if he likes to eat be4/9. I do know that he is a fe 5/16 who can be a jerk. For example, he is known for punching the paparazzi in the fa 4/8 as he tries to fl 4/7 from them. They do nothing but sc 5/20 at his bad behavior.The more he ho4/9s and yells,the worse he makes it for himself.He can't goto a ma 4/5 without being harrassed by the paparazzi. So now he is stuck with a la 5/14 of jacka**. I do not think he will be ab 4/6 to lo4/4 that image. I can see why Kim Basinger might have had to stick her cl4/9s at him. But in any ca4/5, jerk or not, he is a fe 6/27 is a good actor. I fe 4/7 tired now & must go to bed.
