1:20 am

VolleymomDee

I had posted in my profile, but it IS soooo much easier with lickety

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

I hope dr g's new site doesn't do away with lickety

1:21 am

VolleymomDee

grem finished this one in 12 minutes...

1:21 am

jillibus

I went to bed last night before you had posted. Needed Lickety and morewords for today's effort.

1:22 am

jillibus

Me too, and the link to morewords and a2z we get with Expert. I love love love Expert.

1:22 am

VolleymomDee

I thought yesterday's grid was pretty tough... lots of words I didn't remember

1:22 am

VolleymomDee

I use morewords every grid... usually have 3 windows open... chat archive for what has been called, grid, and morewords :~)

1:23 am

jillibus

VolleymomDee

I came in late and I have 47 words already... not awful yet

1:25 am

jillibus

hi ru -- I like grem's hint for greater speed using morewords. Just not used to a2z.

1:25 am

rururocks

I don't use it much.. just when I am stuck and no one around to help

1:25 am

jillibus

I did use a2z a while ago and found morewords much easier.

Ruby, I hate the Tour (because it has ended)

3:21 am

Haz1558

3:22 am

Haz1558

Hello!

Haz1558

Hello sandyloo - I see from your profile we are practically neighbours!

3:28 am

sandyloo

3:29 am

3:29 am

3:29 am

daykat

and you?

3:29 am

sprite

how nice, sandy

3:29 am

sandyloo

Daycat is lucky everyone, Donnybrook is a beautiful part of our state

3:30 am

daykat

sure is:)

3:30 am

Haz1558

It's funny - Donnybrook is also a suburb of Dublin. Maybe people were feeling homesick or just lacking in imagination when they named it?

3:30 am

sandyloo

We have 8 acres in Banjup where we live in our shed, and a house in Nedlands which we rent to students

3:31 am

sprite

it is amazing, Haz, the number of names in australia that refer to former places of living.

3:31 am

daykat

it was named after the Dublin Donnybrook by Irish explorers who thought the area looked like home - must have been in the winter when its all green and lush

3:31 am

lynxxx

Homesick, we generally lack a lot of imagination in the naming of our States and Cities

3:31 am

sandyloo

LOL we are going to build here eventually (soon maybe) we have a couple of horses, dogs, cat, chooks

3:31 am

sprite

america too

3:31 am

daykat

Nedlands is pretty cool, sandy and Banjup is gorgeous

3:31 am

Haz1558

I think it happened everywhere that people moved and resettled.

3:32 am

daykat

the area I live in, just out of Donnybrook is called very originally Irishtown!!

3:32 am

sprite

yes or they would pick a name like New Haven etc

3:32 am

rubyfoo

husbandis back from dentist! *poof*

3:32 am

sandyloo

We are going to sell Nedlands, all the kids have finished school , so we can relax on our country estate!!

3:32 am

sprite

Nedlands - Netherlands ?

3:33 am

daykat

there must be hundreds of Irishtowns wherever the Paddy's settled!

lynxxx

morning Ata

3:42 am

Atalante

back from a really good walk with Hobbit, along the River Stour, and often in the River Stour. Dragonflies were chased, scary shadows were barked at and much fun was had all round!

3:43 am

sprite

hi Ata *hug*

3:43 am

sprite

awwww

3:43 am

Haz1558

Hello, Ata. Back in a minute or two, have to send a quick e-mail...

3:43 am

Atalante

ooo Merp is in the grid for Eva!

3:43 am

lynxxx

how lovely

3:45 am

Atalante

gosh, this isn't a very pretty grid

3:46 am

sprite

must admit I like it very much

3:46 am

Atalante

that's cos there are no Ks!

3:47 am

sprite

lol yeah, that is part of it. But also some great words to find, and a nice bite to the whole thing

3:47 am

Atalante

I just don't like Cs :P

3:47 am

lynxxx

Bing is here

3:48 am

sprite

I have trouble with the leftmost C.

3:48 am

sprite

crosby

3:48 am

Atalante

I want chron and chrono

3:48 am

lynxxx

3:48 am

Haz1558

Think of a dislexic bell for two of the c words.

3:51 am

Atalante

we need an -ood for the best TV prog ever :)

3:51 am

sprite

thanks for the clues, am trying to demoronise myself

3:53 am

sprite

thanks, got them :)

3:53 am

Haz1558

And the other c to go with a green citrus fruit.

3:55 am

Atalante

LOL since Sily's triumph yesterday she's hardly left the windowsill, constantly willing the birds to fly in

3:55 am

sprite

what happened yesterday, Ata?

3:55 am

Atalante

she cuaght a bird!

3:56 am

Atalante

her first ever

3:56 am

lynxxx

did she know what to do with it?

3:56 am

sprite

oh wow! wtg Sily! Did she eat from it too?

3:57 am

Atalante

nooooo lOL. she chased the poor thing around pouncing on it and generally being a cat

3:57 am

Atalante

but she was *so* proud of herself!

3:58 am

sprite

did she kill it or did you have to?

3:58 am

Atalante

Hobbit did

3:59 am

sprite

team work :)

3:59 am

Atalante

yep! it flew a littlw too close to the dog's jaws ...

3:59 am

Atalante

which I was actually very glad about at that point!

4:00 am

lynxxx

I understand! I think I would have left the room before then

4:00 am

sprite

I bet

4:01 am

Atalante

it was just amazing to see how strong cats' instincts are - she's never had a paw on a bird before in her life

4:02 am

sprite

and now she had a taste of it... I wouldn't consider taking parakeets or canaries in the future, Ata ;)

4:03 am

Atalante

loooool no, I think she's found her forte

4:03 am

Atalante

amusingly, she's scared of mice

4:03 am

Atalante

ooooops

4:03 am

lynxxx

maybe not now though

4:03 am

sprite

she may realise a mouse is just a bird without wings

4:04 am

4:34 am

FMitch

Hi NB, hows the ankle?

4:36 am

sandyloo

Mitch, have you told him that we talk about him?

4:37 am

Nancy Boy

oh, not too bad FM, thanks for asking! The cats are getting used to the crutches, at least.

4:37 am

FMitch

in a word - No!

4:37 am

sandyloo

Tell him, he will be flattered

4:37 am

Atalante

Hobbit *hated* my crutches

4:37 am

FMitch

Watch out for when they start climbing up them NB :)

4:37 am

sandyloo

are you off the crutches now Ata?

4:38 am

FMitch

I can imagine Ata, she would think they were attacking her Mom.

4:38 am

Nancy Boy

awww FM, they already think the ankle brace is a scratching post!

4:38 am

Atalante

oh yes, I got rid of them as soon as humanly possible LOL

4:38 am

FMitch

ouch!

4:39 am

daykat

Hi all, a few minutes Babbling before dinner

4:39 am

sandyloo

you must be getting better then! jolly good

4:39 am

FMitch

phone brb.

4:39 am

daykat

Hey NB, love that your pretty brace is a scratching post!

4:39 am

Nancy Boy

mornin' Daykat :)

4:40 am

Atalante

I'll have to keep my brace for a good few months yet, but only really now for exercise and other such things rather than 24 hours a day

4:40 am

sandyloo

What a trial it must have been Ata

4:41 am

sandyloo

and NB , when do you leave for your trip?

4:41 am

Nancy Boy

The rainbow seems to attract their attention Daykat, just my luck to have homophobic cats ;)

4:41 am

Nancy Boy

Sandy, oooh...24 days now, I think!! Hands shake at the thought ;)

4:41 am

sandyloo

Daykat, we are the same age , born in 1950?

4:42 am

Atalante

strangely, it's worse now I can *almost* do stuff. When I just had to sleep and rest, it was ok!

4:42 am

sandyloo

You are probably getting sick of it now , so you notice it more

4:43 am

sandyloo

NB will your ankle be better by then?

4:43 am

daykat

a good year sandy!

4:43 am

Atalante

I think you're right there

4:43 am

daykat

NB maybe not homophobic, maybe they LOVE the rainbow!!

4:44 am

sandyloo

did you ever live in Perth or are you always from Donnybrook

4:44 am

Nancy Boy

I think it'll be steady enough so that I won't need to travel with the crutches (I hope anyway) but it's possible the brace will still be needed! So I should probably get one with a less obvious pattern ;)

4:45 am

daykat

Lived in Perth as a student way back, then in the early 70's, then in the 80's 90's lived in Mt Pleasant and Palmyra

4:45 am

daykat

daykat

NB, mostly we just look at it, and love it!! Grow veges, small orchard, chooks

4:52 am

4:54 am

daykat

it is beautiful, and peaceful, and i love the space. Dont think I could handle the city now

4:55 am

Atalante

I love spending time up in LOndon, which I'm doing at least 1 day a week at the moment, but I love escaping back to the country

Lol Monkey, that's so cute!

5:00 am

Atalante

I did, it was such fun!

5:01 am

sandyloo

Back again

5:01 am

MonkeyGames

It is. He's Very Excited. He also has not lost sight of the fact that it's his show-up fee for the toothpaste commercial making this possible, so we'll probably have to let him go with the name he's picked out... fingers crossed there's one there we bond with! We're going to the Amsterdam cat boat.

5:01 am

FMitch

Thought you had gone there Ata. Glad yo uhad a good day, many pics?

5:02 am

Atalante

Walter must have grown a lot

5:02 am

5:04 am

Atalante

5:04 am

MonkeyGames

It sure as heck does... things have become slightly more sedate now that I have my permanant job, though, Not working three temp crap jobs really helps with perspective. Thanks Sandy; are youon Facebook? If so I can send you some pics of him now... on Facebook I'm Katrina Cooper.

1:22 pm

redturtlehead

How are you bugs?

1:24 pm

1:35 pm

crosshair

m9 re: cpap if you or a loved one is having issues breathing,snoring,choking or stopping breathing during the night,the first thing you have to do is get your family dr to set up a sleep study test to determine if further action is needed

1:35 pm

jacq

my boyfriend and both his brothers have sleep issues and they all stop breathing in their sleep, it is scary

1:38 pm

crosshair

well a sleep study is in order

1:38 pm

redturtlehead

Oh sorry Bugs, I was a little distracted by On line shopping. It's odd, we are a good good match so I am very freaked out about it.

1:38 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Cross.

1:38 pm

crosshair

1:40 pm

jacq

Nancy Boy

well yahoo would push you over the edge then Crossy ;)

5:01 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah? well earlier, I did my usual updating thing, where I paste the same update message on my Twitter and Yahoo pages at the same time, like, only the bloody tweets were appearing 3 hours late, apparently and above everything else, so it was all out of date and time order! I was off to Eltham and didn't see it for a while--was alerted to it later, it's really odd, that?!!

5:02 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

somehow, between then and the time I got back home, it had magically corrected itself, ha!

5:03 pm

Nancy Boy

very odd! especially when your posts and tweets are always in perfect synchronicity ;)

5:03 pm

Nancy Boy

I blame the weather - everything is going mad in this humidity, myself included.

5:03 pm

PinnyPoppins

hi babble buds!

5:03 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, well, they weren't earlier today but that's not my fault -- the updates appeared on yahoo 3 hours before Twitter, that's all!

5:03 pm

PinnyPoppins

my new job is totally cramping my babble playing :(

5:03 pm

howdy pinny

5:04 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, tell me about it eh? horrible summer!!

5:04 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

hello Pinny

5:04 pm

PinnyPoppins

Hi Crossy, George, NB!

5:05 pm

Nancy Boy

it's foul! one step outside and my hair springs into curls. I want the heatwave back!

5:05 pm

Nancy Boy

evening, Pinny :)

5:05 pm

PinnyPoppins

Hello old friend

5:06 pm

LeslieAnn

ch6?

5:07 pm

suefrad625

ce7, hello everyone

5:08 pm

Nancy Boy

Mind you, the weather in South Korea won't be any better when I go there - it's a solid 30 degrees, thunderstorms all day, 95% humidity in Seoul!

5:09 pm

PinnyPoppins

But how does Korea cope with the weather? The problem with London isn't so much that we have rubbish weather - it's that our infrastructure crumbles anytime there's any variation

5:11 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, you can't put fans on in Korea, they might kill you, I hear! ha!

5:11 pm

Nancy Boy

Omg...yeah Pinny, what George said. Korea copes with the weather by upholding that electric fans will kill you.

5:12 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

well yeah, fans have almost killed me a time or two! dangerous things, they are -- specially if you don't watch where your hands are when you stretch them overhead near a ceiling fan!!

5:12 pm

Nancy Boy

Yeah, that's something you tall people have to deal with, I guess - never a problem for me ;)

5:12 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

ha! think yourself lucky then, m8, less to worry about!

5:13 pm

PinnyPoppins

Sounds like a lose-lose to me

5:14 pm

PinnyPoppins

NB - how come you're going home? Has there been progress with the family?

5:16 pm

LeslieAnn

fireworks!

5:17 pm

suefrad625

ce7?

5:17 pm

suefrad625

congrats leslie

5:17 pm

Nancy Boy

It's progress I'm hoping for Pinny - going 'home' to tell my family that I'm alive!

5:17 pm

LeslieAnn

1/100th of a dollar + **a* (not far)

5:17 pm

PinnyPoppins

He he he

5:17 pm

suefrad625

ty

5:18 pm

PinnyPoppins

So I had a date last night

5:18 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

or show them, anyhow, Jesse?

5:18 pm

jedimasterlink

one left, cr7 please?

5:18 pm

m9f9l

hello all

5:18 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

ooh, a date, Pinny? did it go well??

5:18 pm

m9f9l

frank sinatra

5:18 pm

LeslieAnn

one who sings, jedi

5:18 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

hello m9

5:18 pm

PinnyPoppins

Hmm - yes and no

5:19 pm

m9f9l

jedi.. dean martin

5:19 pm

m9f9l

perry como

5:19 pm

PinnyPoppins

We had a good time and I really enjoy his company (and he's super intelligent), but I think he's really unattractive

5:19 pm

PinnyPoppins

I need to deal with my shallow nature

5:19 pm

Nancy Boy

Well I didn't think they'd believe me if I told them in any other way ;)

5:19 pm

m9f9l

my dd thought her fiance was ugly when she first met him..

5:20 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, probably not--and nowt like showing them!

5:20 pm

m9f9l

I just popped in while I'm keeping eye on timer..

5:20 pm

PinnyPoppins

m9 - who's that baby in your profile?

5:21 pm

m9f9l

oh...that's from clue icon a couple days ago! but it works again today!

5:21 pm

m9f9l

I've just been kind of busy...

5:21 pm

m9f9l

I don't even know what the theme is..

5:22 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, well Pinny, I dated a bloke like that once, cos I liked his company a lot--he has no hair anywhere on his face, head or body, lost it all in his teens, he's not a head turner that's for sure, but lovely to be with and we were together a little while! if the person's lovable and nice, fun to be with, that really counts for a lot more, I find.........

5:24 pm

PinnyPoppins

I do agree - of the three guys I've had serious relationships with, I thought they were all vile looking until I got to know them better. I suspect an attraction will grow with this guy, but I'm still in that initial phase where I only find him remotely appealing when it's dark outside...

5:25 pm

PinnyPoppins

Ultimately, any biochemist with a PhD who can genuinely contribute to a discussion about 'whether it's better to be top half beetle, bottom half man or the other way round' is worth a second date

5:25 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

aww, poor fella, ha! yeah, if he's beautiful on the inside that wil shine through as you get to know him, how it alwyas works for me, anyhow!

5:25 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, probably, ha--lost me with that anyhow!

5:26 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

<< scratching head, getting splinters

5:27 pm

PinnyPoppins

I'd rather be top half beetle (they seem to have little appetite for cakes and hundreds of eyes) and bottom half human (so i can run away from prey)

5:27 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh, with ya now! wasn't sure what you meant!!

5:28 pm

PinnyPoppins

A theoretical discussion about what the future masterrace of insect-human hybrids might look like

5:28 pm

PinnyPoppins

Better than the usual boring date discussions

5:28 pm

m9f9l

I'd rather be top half human. I like kissing.

5:28 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

ooh, lovely!

5:29 pm

PinnyPoppins

HAHAHA! I hadn't thought of that m9. I was focussing more on how I'd poop

5:29 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

well I like things involving the bottom half as well, ha!

5:29 pm

m9f9l

wow... this breadstick recipe they gave me is pretty fattening!

5:29 pm

m9f9l

yeah...but if I had to choose.....

5:29 pm

m9f9l

ROFL!!!!! poop

5:29 pm

PinnyPoppins

George! You minx!

5:30 pm

m9f9l

and to be able to hold my children...

5:30 pm

PinnyPoppins

As a beetle, I'd probably eat my children

5:30 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, I'm a naughty one, ha!

5:30 pm

m9f9l

I could wear a long skirt and still feel fairly no4al

5:31 pm

m9f9l

exactly!

5:31 pm

Nancy Boy

I think the important thing is getting the wings! So top half beetle for me, I'd think.

5:31 pm

PinnyPoppins

See - it's a much better conversation starter than 'what was the last film you saw?'

5:31 pm

PinnyPoppins

I also like asking 'if you had to have either an enormous hand or an enormous foot, what would you choose?'

5:32 pm

PinnyPoppins

And anticipating George's response, the choice is either hand or foot!

5:32 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, ha ha!!

5:33 pm

PastorJ

if i had an enormous foot, i'd need an enormous mouth to put it in...

5:33 pm

PinnyPoppins

I can fit my fist in my mouth

5:33 pm

Jellen

ce 7 clue, please?

5:34 pm

Nancy Boy

Same, Pinny. It's a pretty boring afternoon when you discover you can do that ;)

5:34 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah? so either you've got small hands, or.......?!!

5:34 pm

PinnyPoppins

It was my party trick, back in the drinking days. I've got really big hands

5:34 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I won't say it, too polite for that, ha!

5:34 pm

m9f9l

like a shopping ce****...but throw an extra cons in there

5:34 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL, just did it in front of the mirror; I can fit my fist in my mouth but it's NOT attractive!

5:35 pm

PinnyPoppins

It's not a good look

5:35 pm

PinnyPoppins

NB - where are you living these days?

5:35 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

no, Jesse!! and don't be mentioning 'fisting' to you know who, who you're talking with right now, ha!

5:36 pm

Jellen

Thanks, m9

5:36 pm

Nancy Boy

It's really not, Pinny...

5:36 pm

Jellen

Thanks, m9

5:39 pm

m9f9l

5:40 pm

Jellen

I don't think the theme is, but I like mine so I'm keeping it a while...

Nancy Boy

Hm, if that's what you're after I'll have to get my flatmate playing!

grabbing the list, and ready set go! racing myself...

7:09 pm

dofith

stid, may I ask you a personal question? In your little shape thingy, you're neither pink nor blue - kinda purplish, really. What does that make you?

7:09 pm

Jillyjill

Don't worry, you'll beat me!!

7:09 pm

stidmama

so the surgery appeared successful, now the hope is that he can return to normal kid activities soon.

7:10 pm

stidmama

makes me an outlier, dofith!

7:10 pm

crosshair

ive been through something similar with my family(long story) but it is amazing stidmama,you end up narrowing your focus untill all the other crap is on hold and unimportant and you take care of your flesh and blood

7:10 pm

Christine

Poor Love - senfing gentle hugs his way - and prayers and good thoughts for the whole family.

7:10 pm

7:11 pm

lbdawger

7:11 pm

Christine

7:11 pm

featherbee

7:13 pm

7:14 pm

lbdawger

7:14 pm

Christine

Okay, let me know when & where - email info is in my profile.

7:14 pm

Lady Biotch

I'm in RI and I know she is in CT but I don't think I know where in CT she is would certainly be willing to help out

7:15 pm

crosshair

we need to hunt dow who is reasonably close so it can be a surprise

7:15 pm

featherbee

or, if anyone has her email, everyone could paypal 2 bucks to one central person, and that central person could paypal it to her. then locale wouldn't matter.

7:15 pm

Jillyjill

OK,need hint for pr6/24 and pr5/14 (first one) please??

7:15 pm

crosshair

7:15 pm

stidmama

7:16 pm

lbdawger

early born baby, Jilly

7:16 pm

featherbee

or, that one central person could get a gift card and either snail mail or email it to her

7:16 pm

lbdawger

and the pr*** is right!

7:16 pm

stidmama

pr 6 is baby that comes too early

7:16 pm

7:16 pm

7:17 pm

featherbee

hi jellen

7:18 pm

stidmama

hey jellen! ((hugs))

7:18 pm

stidmama

pho (again) I know what I did wrong last time, so time to try for a new something wrong.

7:18 pm

Jellen

Updated my profile...

7:18 pm

stidmama

but I need to get the veggies ready etc.

7:18 pm

featherbee

oh no. is that a reaction to the chemo?

7:19 pm

stidmama

gee whiz, jellen! you two just can't get a break, can you?

7:19 pm

Jellen

No, don't think so...

7:19 pm

stidmama

but I am making the pho with the chicken stock I made a couple days ago, so it should be really tasty.

7:19 pm

stidmama

it's worrisome when a person dehydrates.

7:20 pm

crosshair

yes i know all about that,keep the ice water and gatorade and those ensure protein drinks from pharmacy handy and try to get him to take fluids as best as you can

7:20 pm

lbdawger

sounds good, stiddy

7:20 pm

Jellen

Oh, he has a UTI, too...

7:20 pm

crosshair

when i was on chemo,i was throwing up 20-50 times a day till my throat bled so i can reccomend a few things that may help

7:21 pm

crosshair

but i do not wish to be a pain

7:21 pm

lbdawger

well that explains the low platelet count.

7:21 pm

stidmama

(((jellen)))

7:21 pm

Jillyjill

Jellen, that can get serious quickly...watch the fever and he's gotta drink!

7:22 pm

stidmama

I will try to come back later if I can. take care, all. *poof*

7:22 pm

crosshair

you can also get what is called "pediasure" it is a electorlyte fluid used to rehydrate children

7:22 pm

Jellen

Later, stid...

7:22 pm

crosshair

works well in this case as well

7:23 pm

featherbee

how are YOU doing jellen?

7:23 pm

Jellen

Getting him to drink at all is a chore...

7:23 pm

crosshair

and after each bout of vomiting he should take a sip of water to remove bile and acid from his throat

7:23 pm

crosshair

i know it is jellen

7:23 pm

Jellen

I'm tired...went out for a little this evening to vote and pick up a salad for myself...

7:24 pm

Jillyjill

small frequent sips can help, just a swallow every few minutes...it's just that urinary infections can go septic very easily..

7:24 pm

lbdawger

don't let yourself get run down, jellen.

7:25 pm

Jellen

I'm listening, crossy and Jilly and lbd...

7:25 pm

crosshair

remember the old hospital trick of sucking on ice slivers as well

7:25 pm

crosshair

It was good. I think I had a little too much star anise, but the flavor was not bad. Next time, less star anise, and maybe I won't add the leftover carnitas that I didn't use in tamales...

9:26 pm

stidmama

how are you LBD?

9:28 pm

lbdawger

i'm doing well, stid. the soup sounds good except for the anise. i'm not real fond of licorice flavor

9:29 pm

lbdawger

did stidkid1 make it home okay after his hissy?

9:29 pm

stidmama

star anise isn't really licorice flavor. It's the secret ingredient in many southeast Asian recipes.

9:29 pm

stidmama

yes, he ended up at one of my best friends' houses -- she's a doc -- she made sure he made it home safely. I am having a hard week with him.

9:30 pm

stidmama

thanks for remembering I have had trouble all day articulating what is in my heart, still can't...

9:31 pm

lbdawger

it's the ache of a mom. no one can understand, but another mom.

9:31 pm

stidmama

*nodding* yes, I think so.

9:32 pm

lbdawger

i remember all the times i really thought about killing the kid! really understanding why some animals eat their young, and then i'd look at him and sigh...

9:34 pm

lbdawger

finally came to an agreement with him. he could have some independence, (much to my chagrin) and just as long as he reported in and didn't do anything extremely stupid, i wouldn't have a meltdown.

9:35 pm

Kalyn

they are so beautiful..when they are sleeping..babies...

9:35 pm

lbdawger

of course we had to discuss..."extremely stupid"

9:36 pm

Kalyn

discussing beats having heh police at your door with a summons to appear in front of a judge

9:36 pm

stidmama

LOL Kalyn! that was almost 2 decades ago...

9:36 pm

lbdawger

hi kalyn. yes they are...those few times when you can reassess why they are alive.

9:36 pm

stidmama

true LBD. defining accurately and getting agreement are so important.

9:36 pm

Kalyn

aye stid Iknow.. the good old days Crai I want them back

9:37 pm

lbdawger

i don't want them back, I like the fact that now my "kid" has kids of his own...paybacks!

9:37 pm

Kalyn

my oldest has 4 kids under 5...can i really lol now?

9:38 pm

stidmama

wow Kalyn -- I can't imagine that. It's a LOT of diapers and sippy cups!

9:38 pm

lbdawger

9:38 pm

Kalyn

9:42 pm

lbdawger

9:42 pm

stidmama
