Atalante

you could have it in your new super portacabin!
3:00 am
Haz1558

Gosh, there's a thought! But they might get so caught up in the games that they'll not want to go out to the horses.
3:00 am
Atalante

true, true ... but if it was raining .... and I bet you could get horsey games for it!
3:01 am
Haz1558

Raining is no problem with an indoor arena. They do use the outdoor one when possible but it's nice to be under cover for when it occasionally rains here.
3:02 am
Atalante

indoor arena! how nice!! you have *everything* in Ballymena!
3:03 am
Haz1558

I loved the comment Darren Clarke (golfer from NI) made about the weather at Loch Lomond's recent tournament. 'There was torrential rain, not heavy torrential rain. If you come from Ireland you'll know that there's a huge difference.'
3:03 am
Haz1558

I know, Ballymena is just the last word.
3:03 am
Atalante

loooooooool
3:03 am
Haz1558

I do like a man with a sense of humour.
3:04 am
Atalante

Ireland and Wales! I know the difference!
3:05 am
Haz1558

The funny thing was that while Loch Lomond was getting drenched, people who were sweltering in the south of England who were watching, must have thought they were seeing a recording or something, there was such a huge difference in the weather.
3:06 am
FMitch

Morning you two :)
3:06 am
Haz1558

Good morning, FM!
3:06 am
FMitch

Greetings!
3:06 am

Snape is in the grid. I would have a hard time keeping track of who I had and hadn't betrayed if I were him.
3:06 am
lynxxx

Morning you three!
3:06 am
Haz1558

And jean's here as well, FM, she's sneaking a peek from work.
3:07 am
Douglas

mnbt3! Whoo-hoo!
3:07 am
Haz1558

Oh look, a cast of thousands is emerging!
3:07 am
Atalante

FM!!
3:07 am
Haz1558

Hello lynxxx and Douglas.
3:07 am
FMitch

Hi there lynxx and lurking Jean and Douglas.
3:07 am
lynxxx

3:08 am
FMitch

When do you return from Scotland Haz?
3:08 am
Douglas

Hello lynxxx, Haz, FM, Ata
3:08 am

hola
3:08 am
Haz1558

It's a flying visit - going over this afternoon and will be in Edinburgh by about 6pm, then coming back tomorrow afternoon, hopefully getting in around 6.40 pm.
3:09 am
lynxxx

hi kje
3:09 am
FMitch

Morning kje
3:09 am
Haz1558

Hola, kje!
3:09 am
Atalante

hi kje
3:10 am
FMitch

Hope there is not too much left to pack. Don't forget to take an umbrella, they are giving out weather warning for Scotland today :(
3:10 am
kje

nice to see the continent awake ; )
3:10 am
Haz1558

Boxes are due to be picked up tomorrow morning, we'll do a bit of a last minute clean before heading off with whatever needs to be put in cases.
3:11 am
Haz1558

I know, the weather doesn't look great, does it? Too warm for a coat, so a brolly will have to do.
3:11 am
kje

brolly? jacket?
3:12 am
FMitch

We had incredible gusty winds overnight and torrential rain and it is still doing both now.
3:12 am
lynxxx

umbrella
3:12 am
kje

ah
3:12 am
FMitch

lol kje, alien concept for you?
3:12 am
kje

wouldn't think.. coat vs umbrella... no
3:13 am
kje

but learned a new word!
3:13 am
Haz1558

Sometimes when it rains here, it's not cold enough to wear a raincoat, so you just use an umbrella instead.
3:14 am
FMitch

Babblers are full of spurious information.
3:15 am
Haz1558

Spurious? Are you not insulted, Ata? Here we are, bestowing valuable knowledge to the world at large and FM thinks it's spurious.
3:15 am
FMitch

I need to buy a proper raincoat, I only have one suitable for the odd shower.
3:15 am
Haz1558

Hurt. Deeply hurt.
3:15 am
Haz1558

Misunderstood and maligned.
3:15 am
FMitch

LOL
3:15 am
rubyfoo

hello again. Half before, trying again now
3:15 am
FMitch

Morning ruby.
3:16 am
lynxxx

hi Ruby
3:16 am
Haz1558

Hello, ruby.
3:16 am
Atalante

I just think that Fm is deluded :)
3:16 am
FMitch

probably.
3:17 am
Haz1558

Is it living in that village and listening to those bells that has sent her doolalley?
3:17 am
rubyfoo

if the wind is gusty, won't it pick you up and make you fly with your umbrella like Mary Poppppins
3:17 am
FMitch

yes! the bells, the bells!!
3:17 am
Atalante

the bells! the bells!
3:17 am
Haz1558

I mean, she used to be one of our more sensible babblers - blameworthy, but sensible.
3:18 am
FMitch

snap Ata
3:18 am
rubyfoo

snap
3:18 am
Haz1558

PB for all of you.
3:18 am
rubyfoo

whoops, I'll meet you in the PB FM for second breakfast
3:19 am
Atalante

apart from me *smug*
3:19 am
Haz1558

(A nice piece of entrapment there)
3:19 am
rubyfoo

or early lunch
3:19 am
FMitch

*le sigh*
3:19 am
FMitch

Lets go ruby.
3:19 am
Haz1558

Maybe we'll give you a fool's pardon.
3:20 am
rubyfoo

I'm ready! it is finally a little bit cooler; it has been awful for the past week or so, over 90 every day which is very hot for here
3:20 am
FMitch

There will be a lot of people in the PB today when they are wanting to leave babble as they can't po4 today.
3:20 am
Haz1558

They'll just have to exit gracefully.
3:20 am
Atalante

yay Astana is in the grid!
3:20 am
rubyfoo

backing out and waving goodbye
3:21 am
rubyfoo

maybe singing
3:21 am
rubyfoo

phantom: expat moi!
3:21 am
Haz1558

Not Vicuna, though.
3:22 am
rubyfoo

and a bad Tour team: astana
3:22 am
rubyfoo

boo hiss Contador
3:23 am
rubyfoo

yay for David Millar who has a lot of class!
3:23 am
FMitch

Back, Mum just called to cancel our day as the weather is so bad.
3:23 am
rubyfoo

now you can watch the Tour, lol
3:23 am
Haz1558

Oh, what a pity - what were your plans?
3:23 am
Atalante

poor COntador LOL, why does everyone hate him?
3:24 am
Haz1558

Poor Contador - misunderstood and maligned. I know how he feels.
3:24 am
Atalante

so does FM. always
3:24 am
FMitch

We were going to the local market and then an art exhibition,but the forecast is looking much better for tomorrow so we will see.
3:24 am
FMitch

so true Ata.
3:25 am
rubyfoo

because 1) he's arrogant, 2) he only speaks Spanish (doesn't even make an effort), 3) none of the other riders talk to him and 4) he beat my Lance last year!
3:25 am
Haz1558

Poor Contador, misunderstood because he's Spanish. Maybe he and Nadal should get together.
3:25 am
Atalante

not everyone's good at languages!!
3:25 am
Atalante

Rafa can just about manage ENglish now :P
3:26 am
rubyfoo

but most of the other riders, English, Australian, German, etc., make an effort to speak French, especially if they've been in the Tour and are contenders
3:26 am
Haz1558

I know, but Nadal is loved even if he's not fluent. I just meant he could give Contador lessons in how to be loved.
3:26 am
Atalante

ohhh, yes!
3:26 am
Atalante

everyone loves Rafa
3:27 am
rubyfoo

it would take more than that!
3:27 am
Haz1558

Une REALLY loves Rafa.
3:27 am
FMitch

everyone?
3:27 am
Atalante

yes, everyone in the whole wide world
3:27 am
Haz1558

Nearly everyone loves him and Une loves him enough to make up for the ones who merely tolerate him.
3:27 am
FMitch

She does, doesn't Haz :)
3:27 am
rubyfoo

hahah
3:28 am
Haz1558

So, basically, Contador just needs to get surgery done to make him look like Rafa, and all will be well.
3:29 am
kje

fast grid
3:29 am
Atalante

and get Rafa's attitude too
3:29 am
rubyfoo

actually, he's sort of handsome, but it doesn't make up for the rest. Most of the riders look sort of dopey (of course, they're not), from having their muths agape and eating flies all day
3:30 am
Haz1558

An attitude transplant.... pioneering concept.
3:30 am
rubyfoo

and ata will get the patent
3:30 am
rubyfoo

hi kje
3:30 am
Haz1558

(kje needs to be distracted, she's taking this too seriously and finding words)
3:30 am
FMitch

It is kje, and not bad for a small one.
3:31 am
Haz1558

So, kje, how are the plans coming along for attitude transplants
3:31 am
rubyfoo

words? in this grid? I only hv 50
3:31 am
kje

i know haz! but I amhalf asleep so would rather just enjoy y'alls banter than to try to think fast enough to enter in ; )
3:31 am
kje

it is 0330 here
3:32 am
FMitch

why up so early kje?
3:32 am
rubyfoo

or so late?
3:32 am
Atalante

brb. tea anyone?
3:32 am
Haz1558

Not for me, thanks, Ata.
3:32 am
rubyfoo

pls, with milk, no sugar
3:32 am
FMitch

mmm yes plesae Ata
3:33 am
kje

if i knew, fm, i wouldn't be here... no offense to the lovely people here of course
3:33 am
Haz1558

(Considers whether to be offended)
3:33 am
lynxxx

Yay, found the revolting ones
3:33 am
kje

i am drinking tea, ata... but iced
3:33 am
rubyfoo

hello lynxxxx!
3:33 am
rubyfoo

revolting ones?
3:33 am
Haz1558

Just think, kje, you now know about brollies. The time has not been wasted.
3:34 am
kje

very true... i must drop that one in a convo soon!
3:34 am
lynxxx

the pe8.45 are revolting
3:34 am
Haz1558

I'm surprised you didn't know it already, but I suppose we just take our expressions for granted.
3:34 am
FMitch

lol lynxxx.
3:35 am
Haz1558

lynxxx, I was starting to look for rotters, then realised what you meant.
3:35 am
rubyfoo

???
3:35 am
kje

well, given how frequently you guys need them compared to here, I suspect you have many more words for umbrella than we do
3:36 am
rubyfoo

oh, got it!
3:36 am
rubyfoo

lovely, thank you lynxx
3:36 am
Haz1558

Not as many words for umbrella as for varieties of rain, all the same.
3:37 am
rubyfoo

not here, the French have a dearth of nouns, just too many verbs!
3:37 am
Atalante

*tea for all except haz*
3:37 am
rubyfoo

ty ata, just in time
3:37 am
FMitch

Thank you Ata.
3:37 am
Haz1558

China cups, I hope?
3:38 am
Haz1558

Oh, but French verbs are lovely, all those nice tenses.
3:38 am
FMitch

Big mugs!
3:38 am
Atalante

mugs or cups, whatever people wish!
3:38 am
Haz1558

There goes FM, all insulting again.
3:38 am
rubyfoo

when I was young, I had to memorize 16 tenses. In daily life, I only use about 6!
3:38 am
redturtlehead

Nah, I am eating before running, and will go back to be for an hour to digest.
3:41 am
kje

i think i shall go back too... 2 words for later (hopefully i will not forget to come back)
3:41 am
redturtlehead

I recommend almond butter, but not 100%
3:41 am

Bye kje and bye to everyone else.

3:44 am
Haz1558

Not next week, no.
3:44 am
FMitch

No Ata, the metoffice web site only does a 5 day forecasdt.
3:44 am
Atalante

I'm trying to plan a day up taking photos in London Zoo and then meeting friends afterwars, and trying to outguess the weather lol
3:45 am
Haz1558

I suppose anything looks better in sunshine.
3:45 am
FMitch

That sounds like fun, but is the leg up to it?
3:46 am
Atalante

in the brace it is :)
3:46 am
Atalante

macro photography is *much* easier in sunlight!
3:46 am
FMitch

ok
3:48 am
Atalante

I need some escapage anyway
3:48 am
FMitch

What in particular will you be shooting, or is it just what catches your eye?
3:49 am
Atalante

whatever really. I just like playing with my new lens lol
3:49 am
Haz1558

I have visions of camera-hogging animals lining up with their prettiest poses.
3:50 am
FMitch

I have a brilliant macro lens for my Pentax SLF but the camera is letting light in and needs fixong.
3:50 am
lynxxx

Goodnight all. Have a good day over there
3:50 am
FMitch

Nighty night lynxxx.

3:55 am
FMitch

LOL
3:55 am
sandyloo

I have wine instead of a apint palette
3:55 am
FMitch

OH is she ever sandy!!! Our Ata is a very talented lady.
3:55 am
Atalante

sometimes lol
3:56 am
sandyloo

I am going to a drawing class tomorrow (does that make me an artist) I doutb it
3:56 am
FMitch

wine over half the keyboard does not bode well :)
3:56 am
Haz1558

I know - artist, scientist, marine biologist, radical unspeller.
3:56 am
Atalante

yay for drawing clases! fun!
3:56 am
FMitch

and don't forget who's granddaughter she is too ;)
3:56 am
Atalante

is FM a radical untyper?
3:57 am
sandyloo

I aspire to be an artist
3:57 am
FMitch

no I am just a rubbish typer in babbleland.
3:57 am
sandyloo

whose granddaughter is she ?
3:57 am
Haz1558

Yes, FM has always set the standards for untyping.
3:57 am
Haz1558

Einstein's!
3:57 am
Haz1558

She tried to keep it secret but I found out and felt that the wider babble public needed to know.
3:58 am
sandyloo

get outa town!! is she mitch's grandaughter?
3:58 am
Atalante

*is staying well out of this!*
3:59 am
Haz1558

No! Grandpa Albert. He of the moustache and genius dripping from him.
3:59 am
Haz1558

No wonder she's so brilliant, you can't beat genes.
3:59 am
sandyloo

LOL mum used ot say "Is She the cat's mother"
3:59 am
FMitch

I set the typing bar so low that everyone else shines compared to my keyboard exploits.

Hey I am not that old!!!
4:00 am
sandyloo

Haz, methinks you speak with forked tongue! Not Einsteins relative surely
4:00 am
FMitch

BRB coffee time.
4:00 am
sandyloo

Mitch, u must be fairly old or you wouldn't have a toy boy
4:00 am
Haz1558

sandy, you don't mean that you're questioning this? Other babblers have accepted it gladly.
4:00 am
sandyloo

Speak up Ata!!
4:01 am
Haz1558

Ata is probably rolling on the floor with laughter.
4:01 am
Atalante

and really not hard to belive compared to other babblers claims ...
4:01 am
sandyloo

I know Ata is brilliant of course, but I guess i am just a cynic
4:02 am
sandyloo

LOL Ata ROLF
4:02 am
Haz1558

I reckon being Einstein's granddaughter is the most logical explanation for Ata's brilliance.
4:02 am
sandyloo

Nicky is doing the dishes and staring at me........
4:03 am
sandyloo

I don't know how old Ata is Haz - she may be his daughter......
4:03 am
Atalante

not thta old!!!
4:04 am
Haz1558

Okay, it may not be exactly true.... I may have used a bit of imagination. Ata is in her thirties.
4:04 am
sandyloo

I have to help her (Aussie women really know how to work hard) just ask lynxx
4:04 am
Atalante

it should be true anywya
4:04 am
sandyloo

hmmmm Haz is in a jovial mood today I will be back later
4:05 am
Haz1558

Nobody else has questioned the dates before.
4:06 am
Atalante

this is true ....
4:07 am
Haz1558

He didn't die until 1955 when he was 76. Could it not still be theoretically possible?
4:08 am
Atalante

I was born i 74
4:08 am
FMitch

Back again.
4:08 am
FMitch

I see you have been rumbled Haz.
4:08 am
Haz1558

Yes, but what were your parents' dates of birth?
4:09 am
Atalante

1945 for mum
4:09 am
Atalante

dont actually know for father
4:09 am
Haz1558

There you go! It's entirely possible...
4:09 am
Atalante

yay!
4:10 am
FMitch

and Atas mustache does bear an amazing similarity ...
4:10 am
Haz1558

I will speak of your grandparentage with renewed vigour.
4:10 am
Atalante

FM!!
4:10 am
FMitch

*grin*
4:10 am
Atalante

I think I''ll be the love child of Einstein and FM now
4:11 am
Haz1558

Yes, because FM is 'fairly old'.
4:11 am
Haz1558

If FM is 'fairly old' and I am older than FM, what does that make me?
4:11 am
Atalante

old enough
4:11 am
FMitch

I was ignoring that comment of sandys. Old indeed hmpf!
4:11 am
rolin

and me....!
4:12 am
rolin

hi all..*s*

4:13 am
FMitch

I am not over 50 just yet (well not for a couple of months anyway).
4:13 am
rolin

i have actually found turning 55 the hardest yet..
4:13 am
Atalante

4:14 am
FMitch

It's all in the mind.
4:15 am
Atalante

and the waistline
4:15 am
rolin

4:15 am
Haz1558

I had a waistline in 1974.
4:16 am
rolin

oh ata...ive started going to the gym..and im losing weight too...and for some reason for the first time in 50 years i am developing a waistline...
4:16 am
Haz1558

(I'm trying to think back to the year of Ata's birth, I was doing O-levels)
4:16 am
rolin

after 50 what do i need one NOW for...where was it in the 70's when i wanted to wear high waisted trousers..lol
4:16 am
Atalante

FMitch

I was 15 then.
4:18 am
Atalante

I was a month ago in 1974 about now. awww!
4:18 am
Atalante

4:19 am
Haz1558

And you had already mastered multiplication and long division.
4:19 am
Atalante

easily
4:19 am
rolin

4:19 am
FMitch

Bye rolin.
4:20 am
Haz1558

Bye rolin - and well done for getting your waistline back!
4:20 am
Atalante

nice to see you Ro!
4:22 am
Haz1558

I was trying to work out when Bohemian Rhapsody first appeared - 1975 rather than 1974. Is it true that Freddy Mercury consulted you, Ata?
4:23 am
FMitch

Hmmm think it is time to administer meds to Haz.
4:23 am
Atalante

either me or Mum, she's just as brilliant
4:24 am
Haz1558

Is she really? Does she ever think of doing babble?
4:24 am
Atalante

do we need to call the hme for the bewildered?
4:24 am
Haz1558

I'll be good. Honestly.
4:24 am
Atalante

I've been trying to persuade her onto babble for years
4:25 am
Haz1558

Not the big pointy needle!
4:25 am
FMitch

Might be an idea Ata.
4:25 am
Haz1558

But she might be shocked to discover that the secret of your grandparentage is out.

4:30 am
Atalante

who is the Master?
4:30 am
Haz1558

(Google fingers poised)
4:30 am
Haz1558

Dr Who's enemy.
4:31 am
Haz1558

That will be the answer for Daleks, Cybermen and all other strange creatures.
4:31 am
Atalante

do we give her that?
4:31 am
Haz1558

It's correct! He's his enemy!
4:31 am
FMitch

No, I think it needs to be a bit more specific.
4:32 am
Atalante

and his First Best Friend. ish.
4:32 am

4:36 am
sandyloo

Ha! but I am only 20 in my mind

sandyloo

4:36 am
Haz1558

4:37 am
sandyloo

4:37 am
FMitch

When did you first meet him?
4:37 am
Haz1558

1976 - in Edinburgh.
4:38 am
FMitch

4:38 am
sandyloo

hmmm So the romantic Edinburgh is responsible
4:38 am
Haz1558

Oh, and FM, you missed the news that he changed his phone yesterday and got an X box as a freeby. We haven't the slightest clue what to do with it!
4:39 am
Haz1558

No, he's responsible, Edinburgh can only take so much of the glory.
4:39 am
FMitch

4:41 am
Haz1558

We've been winding her up that we're thrilled to bits and can't wait to play games on it. She thinks we've taken leave of our senses.
4:41 am
FMitch

or hang onto it until you have a charity raffle or such.
4:41 am
FMitch

WEll we know you have taken leave of them :)
4:41 am
Haz1558

That's a good idea, FM.
4:41 am

4:41 am
sandyloo

I taught my son to read before he went to school by getting him to read instructions on those games
4:42 am
Haz1558

My daugher's first reading book consisted of one word. 'Look!'
4:43 am
Haz1558

It was repeated throughout with different pictures. 'Look!'
4:43 am
Atalante

my first word was "apple" followed by "dumper truck". LOL.
4:45 am
Haz1558

We managed to be out the first time daughter 1 constructed a sentence. She had been saying individual words, but apparently, the night we were out, the babysitters thought they could hear a noise. L piped up 'I can't hear anything'.
4:46 am
FMitch

not bad for a 12 year old ;)
4:47 am
Haz1558

She was 13. A late developer.
4:47 am
Haz1558

But we were still very proud.

mrpresident

how is that being treated??
6:24 am
Sally-catlover

Still having checks, but meanwhile a friend who has it for a neck-related problem (which I suspect mine is) has given me some exercises for neck. Started in the middle of the night with the room going round and round - very scary - and I hadn't even had a drink!
6:24 am

Maybe if you wash the grid in cold water and hang it on the line to dry it will stretch out.
8:36 am
Nancy Boy

oh, it was great thanks, Sprite! I popped in to see all the icons...very good ;) I sprained my ankle at the end though. Fell off a table!
8:36 am
Nancy Boy

LOL Wht!
8:36 am

Eva is the main suspect for shrinking things ...

Hey, shdy, are you making a comment about the pe8?

8:40 am

very good idea, Ata. It will help you remember to not overstretch etc too. Glad all is ok.
8:40 am

shrunken. bu then i wet it and hung is to stretch out whilst it dried.
i did it with my dress, the shirt, AND the grid.
*muah hah hah hah!!!*
8:40 am

all is ok ... I just keep forgetting that exercise is not my normal idea of exercise!
8:40 am
Atalante

see? SEE! Eva admits it!!
8:41 am

good advice, Sprite ;) and as for the Spanish man...guapo ;)
8:41 am

lollllll no dear. Exercise with a blessure/injury is doing a percentage of what a healthy person would be able to do.... the NORMAL things.
8:41 am

the bad thing about small grids - way more phantoms
8:42 am
Atalante

doesn't say what Ata di though *smug* . You just admitted to shrinking the grid! :P

so many worry about the earthquakes but it's the fires and mudslides that happen more often in the hills...my whole family is from LA...when I was back there in March I was driving when that earthquake hit in Mexico and the car/road went side to side but it was nothing compared to the fires.
7:38 pm

Good morning, everyone. It's a beautiful, cold but sunny winter's day here - best time of the year (in my opinion) here in Western Australia, but nobody agrees - family likes the heat! Anyway, I have some questions : What are the advantages of being"pro" and are there any previous babbles that I can play?
7:51 pm
MPittore

it is only open to us April-Oct...so we cruise and go across country the rest of the time
7:51 pm
featherbee

pro means you always have the tile stats, word stats and word total
7:51 pm
featherbee

and you get an icon
7:51 pm
featherbee

non-pro loses all that information after the 2 week trail period
7:51 pm
MPittore

you get a new babble puzzle every day and cool babble friends like us!
7:52 pm
dofith

Ah, I see - I became pro straight away, so didn't notice the difference.
7:52 pm
featherbee

you can look at the old grids, in the archives, and do them on paper

8:25 pm
Cathyar

question for all parents: when do you have to stop telling a 12-year-old to constantly pick up after themselves?
8:26 pm
Cathyar

or...when do you GET to not have to tell them anymore, is more accurate. LOL
8:26 pm

8:27 pm
ChampFit

Never is right! We resorted to bribery, and it worked. Some call it an allowance. It actually worked at that age.
8:27 pm
featherbee

different priorities!
8:27 pm
rururocks

my mom would throw out anything left on the floor.
8:27 pm
rururocks

That's how I learn about dumpster diving at an early age
8:27 pm
featherbee

i'm a bad housekeeper. i don't bug my boys enough about putting away their toys.
8:27 pm
Cathyar

lol....tried the allowance thing...its "expected". took away the allowance so it could be re-earned...didn't work.
8:28 pm
ChampFit

It worked because of iTunes and other assorted priorities. Never worked when I was 12 though!
8:28 pm
featherbee

try this. tell him you'll be glad to pick up after him, but you expect to be paid. out of his allowance.
8:28 pm
Cathyar

i guess its more about picking up towels after a shower, or putting his dishes in the dishwasher...not really stuff i can throw away
8:28 pm
rururocks

good one feather
8:29 pm

"i charge a quarter for every towel i pick up. 50 cents for dishes." it'll add up, and it gives him a choice.
8:30 pm

8:30 pm
featherbee

i've done it to daniel, with the change he's ammassed. it worked! plus, if he didn't do it, i wasn't as stressed, i just took the quarter.
8:30 pm
featherbee

not mine...i read it somewhere! forget where.
8:31 pm
Cathyar

each thing i find he didn't do that he knows better will have a price! will give him back his allowance...and deduct from it for each thing he needs reminders for.
8:31 pm
Bugsaw

I used to have to pay my kids to clean each others' rooms for their allowance. In their own room they just got distracted and started playing again.
8:31 pm
featherbee

i no longer nagged/yelled. just stated what would happen.
8:31 pm
