1:10 am

1:26 am
PAV3

it was 100 when i left for work this morning, and 104 when i returned...we.re in our monsoon season , so when it isnt sprinkling it's muggy. lights are off to keep the rooms "chilled at 82" and i dont see well at night, even when i'm holding the keyboard in hand
1:27 am

1:32 am
westford

that's great ata thought she might prefer stinky sea water
1:32 am
Atalante

she does ... but knee was too painful to take her down there yesterday :(
1:33 am
westford

I say stinky sea water with love..nothing like the smell of dead fish and seaweed
1:34 am
westford

we're just a few blocks from the ocean up here and sometimes when the breeze is just right I'm in ecstasy
1:34 am

1:35 am

1:35 am

1:49 am
rururocks

1:51 am
westford

my downfall is sugar in my coffee
1:51 am
jillibus

still need to shed a few more.
1:52 am
jillibus

I'm quite used to black coffee now.
1:52 am
flosey

1:52 am
rururocks

<<< coffee.. hot and black
1:52 am
jillibus

You don't look it, flosey!
1:52 am
flosey

all between waist and knees
1:53 am
jillibus

that's hard to lose at our time of life, flosey.
1:53 am
flosey

1:54 am
jillibus

I still look about 6 mo preggers

1:55 am
westford

1:55 am
jillibus

I want "engaged", waaah!
1:56 am
jillibus

I still have a couple of discards, west
1:56 am
flosey

I bought one for my daughter's wedding west and took it off as soon as we got to the reception - could hardly walk down the aisle
1:56 am
westford

I was hoping they would be outlawed
1:56 am
flosey

yes, if we had never worn them, we wouldn't have lost the muscle strength
1:57 am
jillibus

probably true, flosey
1:58 am
westford

amazing what designers talked us into
1:58 am
flosey

gosh, hard to believe that was 20 or so years ago
1:58 am
flosey

yes, the pencil slim skirts
1:58 am
westford

with the kick pleats
1:58 am
jillibus

pointy shoes and 5 inch spike heels....still going strong
1:59 am
flosey

yup - wore heels once since coming to the island - never again
1:59 am
westford

so many women have ruined their feet
2:01 am
flosey

just realized, we came through the witching hour without a repeat
2:01 am
jillibus

'twas ever thus -- think of the old Chinese bound feet -- ghastly
2:01 am
rururocks

I think they are dumb
2:01 am
rururocks

I think they are dumb
2:02 am
jillibus

haha, no we didn't!
2:02 am
westford

that was a really long pause
2:02 am
flosey

I agree now ru! but only after many years of wearing them
2:02 am
westford

jilli what was the purpose of bound feet?
2:02 am
flosey

lol, my clock is fast
2:04 am
rururocks

60 left for manana.. good nite all

flosey

westford

good night ruru stay away from that gelato
2:06 am
flosey

ah, that stuff is so good, we have a shop in the village, so many delicious flavours
2:06 am
jmcnrick

bound feet were for the rich to show they were rich and created a small lotus blossom shape that was considered beautiful -- similar to the spike heel concept
2:07 am

2:15 am
westford

I'm so glad monkeygames is still around jilli

2:15 am
westford

I miss Walter stories
2:16 am
westford

he's so adorable
2:16 am
jillibus

2:17 am
westford

I was on FB jilli and I just couldn't take it
2:17 am
westford

maybe I'll try again
2:17 am
jillibus

You don't have to get into the dumb games.
2:18 am
Atalante

and you can block the messages from them
2:18 am
westford

but I felt bad if I didn't 'accept' all the drinks and stuff people kept on giving me
2:18 am
jillibus

I joined to play Lexulous with other babblers and my son and grandson etc.
2:18 am
Atalante

meh, they don't know whether you do or not!
2:19 am
westford

is Lexulous like Scrabble
2:19 am
westford

oh, now you tell me lol
2:19 am
jillibus

I just ignore them, west, and nothing has blown up.
2:20 am
Atalante

i just ignore them and every now and then just delete the lot of them
2:20 am
jillibus

Yes, like Scrabble but 8 tiles, not 7 -- had to be a bit different so as not to annoy Hasbro.
2:20 am
westford

are there lots of babblers on FB?
2:21 am
Atalante

loads
2:21 am
westford

I'd like to join a group like that
2:21 am

2:22 am
westford

do I need to be invited?
2:22 am
jmcnrick

i use fb very little since i go stalked on it. it turned out alright but i spooked me
2:22 am
jmcnrick

no just sign up west
2:22 am
Atalante

jillibus

nope -- but we'll invite you to be our Friend
2:22 am
westford

not good jmc
2:23 am
jillibus

oh yes, jmc, I remember you mentioned that.
2:23 am
westford

it can be very scary there's always some jerk that has to spoil it
2:24 am
jmcnrick

he got booted but i am still a little spooked
2:24 am
westford

story on the local news about a woman who went on vacation and came back to an empty house
2:24 am
westford

of course she told everyone she was leaving
2:24 am
jillibus

well, one has to be sensible about what one posts, and who one allows to see it.
2:24 am
jmcnrick

my son was home until today and my sister and neighbors are in and out
2:25 am
westford

I agree jilli
2:25 am
westford

I feel so safe and comfortable here
2:26 am
jillibus

well, I have 100 words and it's bedtime. Is it me or is this a toughie?
2:26 am
Atalante

not easy ...
2:26 am
westford

you beat me by 1 jilli
2:26 am
jmcnrick

i was a little worried my stalker would come on babble but dr. god looked and it is okay so still safe here
2:26 am
jillibus

2:26 am
westford

I think it's time for me to turn in as well
2:27 am
westford

2:27 am
westford

jmc good of dr. god to check
2:28 am
westford

good night / good morning nice people
2:28 am
jillibus

I can't imagine being stalked
2:28 am
jillibus

goodnight west!
2:29 am
jmcnrick

i thought so! he is my hero
2:29 am
jmcnrick

bye west hb
2:29 am
jillibus

and goodnight everyone else -- may not finish this one -- busy tomorrow.
2:30 am
jmcnrick

fortunately this guy is more annoying than dangerous
2:30 am
jmcnrick

i should go an pay attention to the meeting bbl
2:31 am
jillibus

meeting?
2:32 am
jillibus

well, goodnight again and *poof*
3:35 am
rubyfoo

3:38 am
Barb's Horses

3:38 am
Atalante

hi barb
3:38 am
rubyfoo

it is beautiful here in the AM but then it's been over 90 every day, very unusual for this area
3:38 am
rubyfoo

Hi barb!
3:39 am
Barb's Horses

Ruby I got new fish...my old fish went to live next door in a bigger pond. Have two Israel Koi...My son has named on Skeletor because it look like it has a skeleton on its head
3:40 am
Atalante

wheres the tour going today?
3:40 am
Barb's Horses

how are your few fish doing
3:40 am
rubyfoo

today it goes through the Jura, St. Julien-en-Genevois and ends up in the mountain NE of here.
3:41 am
rubyfoo

believe it or not, since I put in Sally's pondnets, they are breeding again and amiling
3:41 am
Atalante

oooh lovely
3:41 am
Barb's Horses

that is great ruby
3:41 am
rubyfoo

more than 100 of them including a few of the old, big ones , e.g. Spot, etc.
3:41 am
ursh

Hello all
3:41 am
rubyfoo

smiling*
3:41 am
rubyfoo

hi urshy!
3:42 am
Atalante

hi ursh
3:42 am
Barb's Horses

hi ursh
3:42 am
rubyfoo

Spot's name is like Skeletor!
3:43 am
rubyfoo

ursh: BAFANA BAFANA! I rooted for them every minute!
3:43 am
rubyfoo

and the next big goldfish will be named Tshabalala, lala for short
3:43 am
ursh

lol ruby they tried really hard
3:44 am
rubyfoo

they were full of enthusiasm and played very clean games
3:44 am
Barb's Horses

I haven't named the second one...skeletor is black with white and the second one is a lemon yellow and black. Then I got a couple of new shubunkans
3:45 am
ursh

i once met a woman whose name was Senga - told me it was Agnes backwards and quite common in the UK - but neither are acceptable in the grid
3:45 am
rubyfoo

fish are so expensive here; what we paid 12 for a dollar for in the US cost more than 1 euro each, here
3:46 am
rubyfoo

koi are phenomenonally expensive
3:47 am
Barb's Horses

yes I have never paid that much for my fish...a few cents here or there..but these were so lovely to look at I could not resist. Paid 18 dollars each for the 2 Koi and 3.50 each for the others.
3:48 am
Atalante

Agnes is a nice old-fashioned name
3:48 am
rubyfoo

compared to the pet store, some of our big ones are worth $60-70! Could never replace them
3:48 am
PinnyPoppins

Barb - I think you need to change your login name to 'Barb's Fishies'
3:49 am
Barb's Horses

The shubunkin that I took next door I figure was worth about $80 dollars
3:49 am
Barb's Horses

or barb's animals LOL
3:49 am
rubyfoo

hi pinny. or Skeletor and it can be an inside joke!
3:49 am
PinnyPoppins

Barb's Menagerie
3:50 am
PinnyPoppins

Hi Ruby! How're the pups?
3:50 am
Barb's Horses

that would be good too pinny
3:50 am
rubyfoo

I gave Ruby a haircut as she looked like she was trailing a long, filthy dress!
3:50 am
Atalante

Barb's Zoo
3:50 am
Barb's Horses

Yes my husband calls it that at times
3:50 am
PinnyPoppins

Haha! Will her hair grow back?
3:51 am
rubyfoo

I try to groom her a little every day, but she remains dirty
3:51 am
rubyfoo

yes, she just looks neater around the back end
3:51 am
PinnyPoppins

Gotta dash - brb
3:51 am
rubyfoo

the only time we took her to a local groomer, they cut all the long hair off her tail which needed to be "curried??) like a horse and it took 2 years to grow back
3:52 am
Barb's Horses

should change my picture too I guess
3:52 am
Atalante

lol poor ruby!
3:53 am
Barb's Horses

I need to get my clippers fixed so I can shave my big dog down again. He is so hot right now
3:53 am
Atalante

HObbit had a big big trim last week
3:53 am
Barb's Horses

brb..changing pics if I can
3:54 am
rubyfoo

what color is his skin under the fur? won't he have trouble in the sun?
3:55 am
rubyfoo

uh oh, stomping upstairs. See you later (first 44 were easy!) {{hugs}}
3:56 am
Barb's Horses

hugs
3:57 am
rubyfoo

oh, that was quick, we had a quick fight, so I'm back!
3:58 am
Barb's Horses

back
3:59 am
Barb's Horses

I should sleep but my legs are bothering me tonight
4:04 am
rubyfoo

miracle of miracles! I just got an almost-apology!!!!
4:05 am
rubyfoo

what would make your legs feel better?
4:05 am
Barb's Horses

well that is good ruby
4:05 am
rubyfoo

yes
4:06 am
Barb's Horses

unfortunately not much. I was on them alot today with taking mom for her test at the hospital
4:06 am
rubyfoo

he has begun to understand, that if he gives me a hard time, I'm not cooking for him
4:06 am
rubyfoo

I can't stand for a long time either and have put a high stool in the kitchen so that I can do any chopping sitting down
4:06 am
Sally-catlover

lol. Morning everyone. Fighting back, are you ruby?
4:06 am
Barb's Horses

hi sally
4:07 am
rubyfoo

yes indeed, sally! When he gives me a hard time now, I just walk away and he has to cook for himself.
4:07 am
rubyfoo

if you can imagine, it is so hot here, that I roast a chicken at 9AM!
4:08 am
rubyfoo

roasted*
4:08 am
Barb's Horses

It has been a long day. Through the worst part with mom's test. They didn't do any biopsies so taking that as a good thing...but wont know all the results till we go in to see the doctor
4:08 am
Sally-catlover

Oh yes indeed I can imagine that.
4:08 am
rubyfoo

yesterday it was 95F, really rare for here
4:09 am
Barb's Horses

one must cook when it is cooler...we have been eating alot of cold plate stuff....maccaroni salad, potato salad, salad, sliced chicken, etc.
4:09 am
Atalante

same here, barb
4:09 am
rubyfoo

I make tabouleh (sp?) and it's good for a couple of days.
4:09 am
Barb's Horses

It is suppose to cool some here for the next week ..mid to low 20's ( in the 70's)
4:09 am
rubyfoo

Maybe I'll make gazpacho tomorrow.
4:10 am
Barb's Horses

that sounds lovely ruby
4:10 am
rubyfoo

there are supposed to be storms starting this afternoon, but they say that a lot and it rarely happens
4:10 am
rubyfoo

I just can't stand long enough to cook a lot and get very tired
4:11 am
rubyfoo

our valley seems to have its own weather system; frequently it doesn't rain here and it does, 3 km away
4:12 am
Barb's Horses

My cousins place in Kamloops,BC is like that...it can rain all the way around them ..but not them down in the valley
4:12 am
Atalante

ooo I've been through Kamloops!
4:12 am
rubyfoo

that's funny; I guess lakes and rivers make their own weather
4:13 am
Barb's Horses

l love it there..would move if my husbands business didn't rely on being where it is now
4:13 am
rubyfoo

what a great name. I saw the place name of an Australian rider in the Tour: Flowery Gully!
4:13 am
Barb's Horses

my FM would be better there because of the dryer air
4:14 am
rubyfoo

is humidity a big problem for you?
4:15 am
Barb's Horses

it seems to be harder for me to take the heat these days...I am assuming it has something to do with the humidity
4:15 am
Barb's Horses

I am still learning so much about my FM and what causes flair ups
4:16 am
Barb's Horses

Mind you I can't remember being pain free at anyone time in such a long time
4:17 am
rubyfoo

I am so sorry!
4:17 am
Barb's Horses

why ruby
4:17 am
rubyfoo

that you have so much pain
4:18 am
Barb's Horses

oh.. well thank you but it isn't your fault...I guess really it is know ones just so tired of the pain..cried again tonight because I would just love one day without any pain
4:19 am
rubyfoo

is there anything you can take for the pain without side effects?
4:20 am
Barb's Horses

I believe at this point no...I am bad but not so bad as to want the really powerful drugs. I know then I wouldn't be able to look after my mom or my son then at all...not to mention my animals. And to do that ...well for me life would not be worth living
4:21 am
Barb's Horses

I try very hard to "put up" with the pain...it is just very hard to do these last few weeks
4:22 am
Barb's Horses

I have tried Laser treatments and they do help some too but cost money each time I go and with not working we just don't have the extra cash for me to go all the time
4:23 am
rubyfoo

you are very brave!
4:24 am
Barb's Horses

I don't think so ruby but thanks for thinking so..sometimes I think what did I do to deserve this...and other times I think....there has to be a lesson here for me somewhere..just not sure what that is
4:26 am
rubyfoo

I'm sure you did nothing to deserve it! Try not to think that way. It's like cancer patients who think"Why me?" The answer is "Why not you?" It is pretty random outside of genetics
4:27 am
Barb's Horses

I do try but every so often the thought creeps in there...I also usually think there are others so much worse off than I too and count my lucky stars that I am here and have a wonderful family
4:28 am
rubyfoo

that is a much better way to look at it. I feel lucky every day I'm alive and it's 20 yrs since I had cancer!
4:29 am
rubyfoo

most of my friends and relatives who had cancer at the same time are no longer alive, so I am very lucky!!
4:29 am
Barb's Horses

may I ask which form you had ruby?
4:29 am
rubyfoo

stage 2A breast cancer -- lots of surgery and very strong chemo after and 2 21/2 years of tamoxifen
4:30 am
rubyfoo

it will be 20 yrs in November.
4:30 am
Atalante

my mum;s just had a mastectomy for breast cancer
4:30 am
Barb's Horses

Well I for one am glad you are still here Ruby and we have met if only in a chat
4:30 am
rubyfoo

do you know what type? Mine was an adeno carcinoma and I was 47.
4:30 am
Barb's Horses

how is she doing atalante?
4:31 am
Atalante

She has told me, I don't think she really knows - she'll see the consultant next week for post-op analysis etc
4:31 am
rubyfoo

Thank you, Barb, I feel privileged to be in such a group of women!
4:31 am
Atalante

doing good, but her op was literally only last week!
4:31 am
rubyfoo

How old is she, Ata? Don't let them push her to do too much physical therapy until the wound heals.
4:32 am
Barb's Horses

Well if it is ok with you Atalante I shalll put her in my thoughts and prayers
4:32 am
rubyfoo

They made me do stretches when I was morphined-up and boy, did I suffer afterwards.
4:32 am
Atalante

64 and fit as a fiddle, she's already gardening!
4:32 am
rubyfoo

Me, too, Ata!!
4:32 am
rubyfoo

she is a tough cookie, it sounds like! I went back to work, but couldn't drive for quite a while
4:32 am
Barb's Horses

wow ata...make sure she does not over do
4:33 am
Atalante

I'm sure she would be grateful for that, Barb :)
4:33 am
rubyfoo

gardening already, that's amazing!
4:33 am
rubyfoo

I guess the war of the weeds waits for no woman!
4:34 am
Atalante

she was gardening 48 hours after the op!!! And not many painkillers either. BUt she isnt exactly - um - large up top so I suspect she's got a nice neat relatively small scar
4:34 am
rubyfoo

have to run and fix a drink for apologetic husband ((hugs to everybody and Ata's mom))!
4:34 am
Barb's Horses

hugs ruby
4:35 am
Atalante

lol ruby
4:35 am
Barb's Horses

I should head back to bed and try to sleep. Bye for now Ata..take care all
4:37 am
Barb's Horses

6:25 am

zurich is nice because the train station and airport are so convenient to the city and I think it has reasonable, clean budget hotels with lovely management... so makes a nice 1-2 day stop when that is the best flight from US I can find
6:26 am
rubyfoo

Hello Babblers!!!
2:33 pm
m9f9l

hey red!
2:34 pm
redturtlehead

I was just seeing some of the new things that DrG is toying with. I am thinking the Mute button in chat will make things very confusing...and possibly less nice for players.
2:37 pm
featherbee

i'm trying my best to withhold judgement until i see the whole thing in action! hard though...
2:37 pm
m9f9l

what will the mute button do?
2:40 pm
redturtlehead

you can mute certian players chat, which to me will make the cat seemed broken up...and also I think ti may make certian people feel excluded. There is at least two players I would love to mute on a regular basis...
2:40 pm
featherbee

you can click on a person and mute them, so you don't see their posts in your chat. doesn't shut them up, just hides them.
2:41 pm
redturtlehead

but they will know as soon as a majority of people mute them as noone will be responding to their chat.
2:41 pm
redturtlehead

*THinks she will be alone in chat very soon!!!!*
2:42 pm
featherbee

i bet mute will just mostly be used on trolls
2:43 pm
redturtlehead

I hope so, I do admit though that there may be occsion, for one particular player who annoys the snot out of me...with no chat but just clue asking for say 60 clues in a row....that player might get the mute button.
2:43 pm

2:47 pm
redturtlehead

Can you imagine seeing chat fly by and wondering why you are constantly not being greeted??
2:47 pm
praise2him

yeah that could get a little aggravating
2:47 pm
praise2him

but then when they ask for 20 or more clues at a time
2:47 pm
praise2him

well you think they would get the hint
2:48 pm
redturtlehead

thats only one person. some people seem to enjoy helping her finish the grid...
2:48 pm
rururocks

come to think of it.. there is one player I would love to push the mute button on
2:49 pm
redturtlehead

Uh oh? sorry Ru....I know I am not always the best Golden Retriever owner....but I walked him and trimmed the nails and cut out a big matt today behind his ear....oops.

we don't have a hall closet, I have already cleaned out about 9 big boxes of clothes from her closet and it is still full
5:32 pm

5:32 pm
Mom

I have two, I will send you one
5:32 pm

m9, Don't should on yourself.?????

The da 4/5 is July 10, 2010. Here is my story of clues for today.Finishing the grid was on my ag6/27 today and I did. It did not ta 4/8 long to finish the grid. It ta 5/18 even less time when I have clues, the list and my monkeys. Was a very da4/9 dreary day today, so it was a great day to Babble. It was also good day to Babble because hubby was away and I was alo4/4 for most of the day which alo6/21 me time to finish this. I ca6/21 believe how well monkeys treated me. When I sn4/6ed monkeys and asked them (in a nice to 4/4) to help se 4/8 some words, I got down on my kn 5/18 and begged them to help without causing any trouble They did not drive me to the ed 4/7 of insanity. They did not try to sn 5/18 out of my ga 5/16 backyard. I felt de5/12 trying to find some words & the monkeys jumped in and found them and they made a big de4/5 in the grid.They have a ke4/8 sense of where to find hidden words. Their ey4/6 saw words I hadn't se 4/4 yet,especially the sn6/36 words.Vocabulary words is not in my ge5/14. When I finished the grid,I let them out of the ga 4/6 so they could play. Da 4/7! Hubby, who is an4/4-Babble, wants the computer. He te4/5s to get ed4/9 if I don't give him the computer. I won't de4/7 him the computer. I am going to call my friend An4/4. Then I am going to at 6/21 to some household chores and make the kitchen ne4/4. After that, I am going to bake a ca4/9. Then I'll be back to clue. I will not give one io4/4 if husband is still using computer.I hope you made no 4/4 of some of these clues & were able to find some words. By the way, I li4/5 before. I am not done yet,3 words left to find.I'll be back later.

LeslieAnn

what IS wrong with your eyes?
8:46 pm
lbdawger

so, stiddy, what does that mean, short periods of reading? audio books?
8:47 pm
lbdawger

large print?
8:47 pm
stidmama

it means short periods of reading, about an hour then I need a break. Will make the last year of grad school very difficult.
8:48 pm
stidmama

don't need large print, it's a close-range fatigue thing. Also, the distortions appear to have been mostly due to corneal wrinkling as a result of dry eyes, which in less than 24 hours I have been using eye drops and having a big difference... but the fatigue is still there and always will be.
8:48 pm
stidmama

I don't learn well from auditory sources, though so books on tape isn't really an option for learning.
8:48 pm
featherbee

evening gang!
8:49 pm
lbdawger

hmm, perhaps books on tape? contact reading for the blind and learning disabled to see if 1) they have the books you'll need and 2) if you qualify. I'd think that a prescription from your doctor would be enough documentation
8:49 pm
stidmama

hey feather!

hi feather
8:49 pm
LeslieAnn

that is too bad, stid. i have really awful eyes and it is an annoyance
8:49 pm
stidmama

and the short periods I can read are sufficient for everything else.
8:49 pm
stidmama

thanks feather. I should change it again, now that sprite has seen it.
8:50 pm
lbdawger

well, you can still use books for highlighting and stuff. or use your computer for e-books.
8:50 pm

anyone know how soon "treated quickly" means for lyme disease?
8:50 pm
stidmama

I figured if anyone would understand my frustration about the limits, it would be babblers! ((hugs for all)) thanks!
8:50 pm
stidmama

um. why feather?
8:50 pm
stidmama

with 24-36 hours I would think, though.
8:50 pm
lbdawger

lyme disease needs to be attended to asap!
8:51 pm
stidmama

maybe some rain on Monday. That woyuld be nice.
8:51 pm
lbdawger

we got a sprinkling this afternoon, all it did was make things feel hotter and muggy
8:51 pm
stidmama

oh! past halfway. can list.
8:52 pm

nick. had a tick bite right before vacation. during vacation, started to get swollen glands. the tick was on him less than 12 hours, and was possibly a baby tick at that, it was so small. never had a bullseye rash, so didn't connect the two. had a fever for a few days, and the neck glands are STILL swollen. now I'm starting to wonder if it's lyme. of course, didn't question that until the weekend, will have to wait for monday for the ped's office, and wondering if after waiting this long already, whether a day or so will make a difference.
8:52 pm
stidmama

but I am really looking forward to the new babble, being able to change the colors might help my eyes.
8:52 pm
stidmama

oops. *sits in PB*
8:53 pm
stidmama

might be worth it to call the doc and see if getting him in for antibiotics sooner is a good idea.
8:53 pm
stidmama

I would not be comfortable just waiting until Monday myself... but we don't really have ticks here, so haven't faced this with my own kids.
8:54 pm
lbdawger

definitely call the doc see if he needs to go to the er or if there is something you can do from home
8:54 pm
LeslieAnn

hmm where is scrabs when we need her
8:54 pm
featherbee

i so hate calling on the weekend! have had to do it so many times. and what makes this one worse is if i was thinking, i could have called this past week.

also, I had a similar "why didn't I call sooner" a month ago with one of my kids who had an infection... thought it would be okay until Morning, checked him at midnight and it was much worse so went to the ER. Would have been potentially very bad to wait longer.

good thing they let him out without knowing that first? I think.
10:29 pm

That is the thing about meds. They have side effects so you take other meds to combat side effects&then those medicines have side effects. It's a vicious cycle

10:48 pm

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (original title in Swedish: Män som hatar kvinnor – "Men Who Hate Women") is an award-winning crime novel by the late Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson, the first in his "Millennium Trilogy."
At his death in November 2004 he left three unpublished novels that made up the trilogy. It became a posthumous best-seller in several European countries.

jilli, our little theatre stays afloat via donations -- would never make it as a commercial venture

LOL Min...no doubt its difficult
11:04 pm
stidmama

the problems reading have to do with eye strain, Jill. Glasses won't help because nothing is technically wrong -- it's just the muscles fatigue. On the other hand, I was having trouble with blurry vision, which it turns out was from the cornea drying out unevenly. Eyedrops and ointment are already making a big difference.
11:04 pm
stidmama

thanks Min! you're MAHVELOUS, darling!

Cathyar,I got my dog from my Uncle who is an ag6/24

I guess ours stays afloat by showing all kinds of movies. It's not just an art theatre. It's in what was a little church once and has moveable seats, so can be used as a meeting hall in daytimes.
