Bugsaw

It is a good show. Not all autistic people are like that but they do like routine and things they are familiar with, like the underwear at Wallmart or whatever place it was.It is funny until you have to live with it.

12:51 am

Jillyjill

Not in the least sis!!

12:51 am

cybernan

12:51 am

rururocks

12:51 am

Jillyjill

Hiya Pav!

12:51 am

jillibus

Oh good :)

12:51 am

Jillyjill

or ruru's!!

12:51 am

rururocks

Red Burgundy is Pinot Noir Nan

12:52 am

J. C.

Hmmm. Should the rest of us change our names to either Jilli or ruru then?

12:52 am

jillibus

My guess is that this pinot noir came from Burgundy

12:52 am

rururocks

Almost all Red Burgundy is Pinot Noir.. 99.9%

12:52 am

jillibus

or Bourgogne

12:52 am

cybernan

ok -- I'll take your word for it -- all I know is that we were drinking Burgundy in Burgundy and Pinot Noir just north of Lyon.

12:53 am

Jillyjill

Actually, my middle name is Corinne...which makes me a JC too!! :)

12:53 am

jillibus

Are you a real Jill, jj, or a Gillian like me?

12:53 am

rururocks

I should be JC too.. my Dad would always yell at me "Jesus Christ!"

12:54 am

Jillyjill

A 'real' Jill...lol

12:54 am

Jillyjill

LOL, oh ruru!!

12:54 am

cybernan

Did you find it at a store that is also in Palm Desert area ruru? -- thinking that a bottle would fill hubby's stocking at Christmas and we will be down there over Christmas this year.

12:55 am

rururocks

no.. I bought it in New Orleans

12:55 am

rururocks

I know a nice one you can find down there though nan

12:55 am

jillibus

I gave up Gillian when I hit the USA from England and got called Gideon, Julian (!), Gilliam (hard G) and was put in the boys' gym class at age 13 -- embarrassing.

12:55 am

J. C.

Oh dear. I am going to hide in here for a bit. :/

12:55 am

cybernan

oh -- too bad -- however I have written it down and will keep my eyes open. The other one?

12:55 am

rururocks

when do you head down this year?

12:55 am

J. C.

Away from the current discussion taking place on MSN, that is.

12:56 am

cybernan

Although generally, he prefers a merlot

12:56 am

J. C.

They are plotting...

12:56 am

Pinikula

cybernan

We will be there Dec. 15 - March 15

12:56 am

J. C.

Oh no. I've had it now. :/

12:56 am

J. C.

You always should, Jill - you miss much. ;)

12:56 am

jillibus

I mean msn...

12:57 am

PAV3

i have 19 for 17 and missing hte 2nd col E for NBT

12:57 am

jillibus

JC, I can't do msn and babble at the same time

12:57 am

rururocks

He should try 2007 Selene Merlot Frediani Vineyard

12:57 am

J. C.

Hmmm. I can - Alt-Tab. ;)

12:57 am

rururocks

<< I can walk and chew gum at the same time

12:58 am

jillibus

I mean mentally, JC

12:58 am

Pinikula

<-- can't type too well wehn tired

12:58 am

cybernan

I know ruru -- remember scouring the shops to find anything other than California wine when we were there. Your shops have no Canadian wines either -- mind you the really good ones never make it out of BC

12:58 am

Jillyjill

nbt :)

12:58 am

Pinikula

12:58 am

cybernan

Ty ruru

12:59 am

rururocks

there is very little Canadian wine down here other than Burrowing Owl and Inniskilin

12:59 am

jillibus

JC, this is morning for you and bedtime for me -- tired here.

12:59 am

J. C.

I can rollerblade and tell jokes at the same time - does that count?

12:59 am

Pinikula

<-- fading fast, too

12:59 am

cybernan

Burrowing Owl is ok (about 40 miles south of us), but don't care for Inniskilin.

12:59 am

Pinikula

it might, jc

12:59 am

J. C.

EARLY morning. I'm probably more tired - more sleep as soon as I finish this grid.

1:00 am

Fauxmage

I can rub my tummy and pat my head at the same time.

1:00 am

rururocks

I like their Pinot Gris nan

1:00 am

Pinikula

I used to sleep while doing transcription! :)

1:00 am

jhb

Can you whistle dixie at the same time Fauxmage?

1:00 am

PAV3

and I can ....hmmm. what can I do?...

1:00 am

rururocks

I can't carry a tune

1:01 am

Pinikula

I can carry a bucket...

1:01 am

Pinikula

...of water...

1:01 am

Pinikula

...up a hill!

1:01 am

J. C.

With a tune in it?

1:01 am

Pinikula

...and not go falling down!

1:01 am

PAV3

well, thank good ness , ruru! tunes were not meant to be carried...sung, perhaps but not carried...

1:01 am

Fauxmage

I'll give it a try jhb.

1:01 am

J. C.

Well I can't sing any - hence I 'speak' my songs. :P

1:01 am

rururocks

<shoulders a Tune and drops it.. see what I mean?

1:01 am

PAV3

I USED to play clarinet and bassoon...

1:02 am

rururocks

wow bassoon? really?

1:02 am

PAV3

that must have been really "heavy" ruru...

1:02 am

cybernan

Not as good as Sumac Ridge or Tinhorn Creek, but you would never see those as they are sold out almost as soon as they are released every year. I think I like this Ortega varietal even better -- I bought a 2007 vintage and usually the white wines we get don't store that long before starting to turn.

1:02 am

Pinikula

<-- faked clarinet because they needed bodies in the marching band!

1:02 am

J. C.

Faking a clarinet?

1:02 am

J. C.

No. I won't say it...

1:02 am

jillibus

Too bad about your non-singing, JC -- you have a lovely voice.

1:03 am

jhb

Please dont go there JC

1:03 am

rururocks

not always nan

1:03 am

J. C.

Erm, not singing I don't, Jill - you've heard me try. Remember "Wanderin' Star"? :P

1:03 am

J. C.

I didn't, jhb...

1:03 am

PAV3

imagine an idiot in fujll marching gear in the dead of winter on a freezing football field...with a bassoon...(minus the mouthpiece. tee hee, I'm no idiot!)

1:03 am

Pinikula

* sighs with relief *

1:03 am

rururocks

is a clarinet considered a horn ?

1:03 am

J. C.

Thank you for reminding me though, Jill - I'll add a link to that clip. Everyone can have a good laugh at my expense. :P

1:04 am

rururocks

lol pavie

1:04 am

cybernan

1:04 am

rururocks

1:04 am

Pinikula

1:04 am

PAV3

3:02 am

lynxxx

I so hope you are talking about a plant and not underwear

3:02 am

lynxxx

Hello all

3:03 am

mari

I was going down the bread route :)

3:03 am

KatieMcG

thank goodness for that I did indeed mean bread

3:04 am

lynxxx

what is bloomer bread?

3:04 am

mari

(it's a large crusty loaf Lynxxx)

3:05 am

lynxxx

I'll presume it is in the shape of a pair of bloomers!

3:05 am

KatieMcG

very slimming lol

3:05 am

mari

Now you have us all wondering why it's called a bloomer

3:06 am

lynxxx

but it isn't how sad...we call that shape Vienna here

3:07 am

mari

It's not made in a tin but more shaped like a football (US style)

3:09 am

mari

must go - have to some running about to do after my daughter :)

3:09 am

lynxxx

bye Mari

3:12 am

KatieMcG

bye mom see you later

3:13 am

KatieMcG

we went shopping yesterday and bought 4 bottles of champagne, 20 bottles of wine and a bottle of spiced rum, that sould keep us going to Christmas lol

3:14 am

KatieMcG

Oh sorry it was only 17 bottles of wine

3:15 am

lynxxx

Sure, we know it WAS 20 bottles before you (hic) drank 3

3:16 am

KatieMcG

we have a rack which holds 44 bottles and another which holds 7 and we still have boxes in the garage! oh and a fridge full lol

3:18 am

Haz1558

Now if we had miitant teetotallers the way we have vegans, you'd be in for a lecture about your liver...

3:19 am

lynxxx

we have an online auction place here which also has wine, start at $9 for 12 bottles so we can usually get some at $30+ a dozen, not great great quality but OK

3:19 am

KatieMcG

ahhh Haz but the important thing is that they are all full, many people I know wouldn't be able to keep that much undrunk lol

3:19 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

3:19 am

lynxxx

hi Haz

3:20 am

KatieMcG

morning Haz

3:20 am

Haz1558

So you're just buying them for the nice bottles, really.

3:20 am

KatieMcG

hubby is taking a fat tablet and then eating two slices of pizza for breakfast, i'm not sure he gets the point of the tablets lol

3:21 am

Haz1558

Keep the path clear for the loo.

3:21 am

lynxxx

lol - he does seemed to have missed the point

3:21 am

KatieMcG

we just want people to say 'wow' when they walk into our dinning room. We have friends coming today so will top it up again tomorrow lol

3:22 am

KatieMcG

He needs to learn Haz, thank goodness we are a two toilet household

3:23 am

Haz1558

I'd be inclined to agree, especially if he does experience the side effects of the tablets!

3:28 am

KatieMcG

he is cutting down trees with Mr Mari this morning so it could be a challenge

3:29 am

Haz1558

They should ask FM for tips. She's very keen on using her chopping skills.

3:30 am

KatieMcG

Luckily Dad knows what he is doing, the have a chainsaw, hard hats and goggles. I will be hiding in the house with 999 on speed dial

3:31 am

Haz1558

What will the cats be doing?

3:31 am

KatieMcG

if they have any common sense they will be sleeping in the warm house and not playing with the fallen branches

3:32 am

FMitch

Greetings all :)

3:32 am

Haz1558

Ah, good morning, FM!

3:32 am

KatieMcG

are chopping skills girl is here :-)

3:33 am

lynxxx

morning FM

3:33 am

FMitch

lol Hi Haz and Katie

3:33 am

o-o

How is it possible, if each of us is unique, to have common sense?

3:33 am

FMitch

Evening lynxxx.
Good question and hello BR.

3:34 am

lynxxx

Hello BabRab, great to see you

3:35 am

Haz1558

Good morning, BabbleRabble. We may each have unique characteristics but there are some instances where the normal response is the best. Like the terrier dog in the Cotswolds who decided that the man who exposed himself to his mistress needed to be bitten. That dog showed uncommonly good common sense.

3:35 am

FMitch

oh ouch Haz!

3:36 am

KatieMcG

very difficult to have sympathy wiith the victim though

3:36 am

Haz1558

I loved that story, especially since it happened in one of the towns we visited this year. The police response was that 'the dog seemed to have responded instinctively'. Thankfully I don't think the exposer is going to press charges. (Bitten on the arm)

3:37 am

Haz1558

But anyway, nice to see you, BabbleRabble.

3:37 am

KatieMcG

thinking himself lucky to only be bitten on the arm lol

3:37 am

FMitch

*blushing* I had presumed bitten elsewhere.

3:38 am

KatieMcG

me too FM

3:39 am

Haz1558

Anyway, what sort of tree is going to be cut down or is there more than one for the chop?

3:40 am

lynxxx

Better go and do dinner. Bye all

3:40 am

Haz1558

Bye, lynxxx.

3:41 am

FMitch

Toodles lynxxx

3:41 am

KatieMcG

bye lynxxx

3:42 am

FMitch

It's probably a small shrub Haz :)

3:42 am

KatieMcG

cherry tree needs cutting back and a eucaliptus tree is coming down :-) I know that is spelt wrong but read it out and it should make sense lol Crumble on my lap and going to google to check the spelling is not an option

3:43 am

FMitch

Eucaliptus trees are beautiful but can grow so huge and if planted in the wrong place can cause a great deal of damage.

3:44 am

FMitch

Im sure Haz will correct us Katie.

3:44 am

Haz1558

Eucalyptus, I think. We had to take one down in our garden as well because it grew too big.

3:45 am

KatieMcG

yep ours is getting too big, it is at the end of the garden but still needs to go before it is too big to deal with

3:45 am

Haz1558

The smell of the leaves is lovely and the blue-green colour is very attractive but if it's in the wrong place - chain-saw and goggles time.

3:47 am

FMitch

This grid has lulled me into a false sense of security , down to 11 but have just realised what is left are all the biggies.

3:47 am

Haz1558

Think of ruru for one of the big ones.

3:47 am

KatieMcG

I need to go and sort out the spare room and hang curtains. see you all later

3:47 am

Haz1558

Or, for that matter, Katie's dining room.

3:48 am

FMitch

Ah!
Bye Katie see you later.

3:48 am

Haz1558

See you later, Katie. And remember, the bottles are for decoration.

3:49 am

Haz1558

FM, did you see the picture in the paper yesterday of the baby elephant being caught by its trunk by a crocodile?

3:50 am

FMitch

No I didn't! but have se4 similar on a documentary. Did it get away?

3:50 am

Haz1558

The poor little thing stood its ground until the rest of the herd came along and frightened the crocodile away.

3:50 am

FMitch

*relief*!

3:51 am

Haz1558

A tourist in South Africa managed to get pictures, and yes, I was glad! Baby elephants are enchanting.

3:51 am

FMitch

Sounds like the basis for Aesops Fables - How the Elephant got its trunk...

3:52 am

Haz1558

Yes, that was pointed out in some of the reports.

3:52 am

Haz1558

It's tremendous how the elephant herd moves around and looks out for each other.

3:52 am

FMitch

We4 you affected by the broadband outage that covered parts of NI, Scotland and northern England last night?

3:53 am

Haz1558

No, it seemed to be okay.

3:54 am

Haz1558

Was it out for a long time?

3:54 am

rubyfoo

good morning everybody

3:54 am

FMitch

Not sure I only caught the tail end of the report on the beeb but it seemed to affect a very large area.

3:54 am

FMitch

Morning ruby

3:55 am

Haz1558

Good morning, ruby.

3:55 am

Lilecama

hello everyone

3:55 am

Haz1558

I was on last night for a whle, but maybe it was off after that.

3:55 am

FMitch

Hi Lile

3:55 am

Haz1558

Hello, Lile.

3:56 am

Lilecama

they expect us to find a 9 letter word in the grid today?

3:56 am

FMitch

Back in 5 time for more tea.

3:56 am

Haz1558

The biggest I've come up with is the 8.

3:57 am

Lilecama

aha, so the 9 is not the plural of the 8? (which I don't have either... ;)

3:57 am

rubyfoo

jumping in for 30 mins...

3:57 am

Haz1558

The 8 is a plural, but the singular isn't in the grid because it ends in a y.

3:57 am

Lilecama

hello ruby

3:58 am

rubyfoo

hello lile

3:58 am

Lilecama

thanks, Haz. I'll look...

3:58 am

rubyfoo

how cold is it in the UK? It is damp and gloomy here, dark enough to have the street lights on

3:58 am

Haz1558

It's not very cold, just damp.

3:59 am

Haz1558

Spangle proved how deaf she is last night. There was a fireworks display in the town and she didn't flinch where normally she'd be under the desk. I was the one doing the jumping.

4:04 am

Haz1558

Just found the 9, same ending as the wi8, but think in terms of eggs rather than bottles.

4:05 am

Lilecama

thanks for that Haz. It allowed me to find the 8! :)

4:06 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

4:06 am

rubyfoo

great clues, haz, thank you

4:06 am

Haz1558

Glad they helped, ruby.

4:08 am

FMitch

We had sun and blue skies but now it has gone so dark and is pouring down. Knew I should have walked into the village earlier - I blame Babble.

4:08 am

rubyfoo

nbt and almost half! nice grid this AM!

4:08 am

Haz1558

Come on, FM, you know you only have yourself to blame.

4:08 am

rubyfoo

that means it will rain here on Monday -- maybe today, too, though

4:09 am

FMitch

*le sigh*

4:09 am

sandrafrances

morning all. how many words today please and does the 9 start with wi please

4:09 am

Lilecama

lol FM - I've never heard a french sigh before...

4:10 am

Haz1558

We're so hard on you, FM. But it's for your own good.

4:10 am

FMitch

Sorry re Spangle Haz, didn't realise that she was having hearing problems.

4:10 am

rubyfoo

116 sandra and hello

4:10 am

Haz1558

116 and the 9 doesn't begin with wi. It's he.

4:10 am

sandrafrances

thanks

4:10 am

Lilecama

hello sandra

4:11 am

Haz1558

We just realised a few weeks ago that she's really not hearing very well at all. She can still perceive high-pitched sounds but doesn't respond to normal voices any more. It doesn't seem to bother her and last night, it was actually a bonus.

4:11 am

sandrafrances

got the 9 thanks

4:12 am

FMitch

so long as she is stillhappy thats the main thing.

4:12 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, sandra.

4:12 am

rubyfoo

that's funny as husband's deafness takes out the high sounds, leaving only the rumbles

4:12 am

rubyfoo

it's amazing how resilitent dogs are

4:12 am

Haz1558

sq5 - the result of trying to push a round egg through a square hole.

4:13 am

Lilecama

lol haz! nice clue :)

4:13 am

Lilecama

the we 6,7 and 7 and childish words...

4:13 am

Haz1558

And hopefully the egg was hard-boiled.

4:14 am

FMitch

LOL I was surprise when I stumbled over that one earlier.

4:14 am

rubyfoo

ty haz, monkeys found it

4:14 am

Lilecama

no, not hard boiled. Otherwise you wouldn't get the 'sq'

4:14 am

sandrafrances

have you the points for sq please

4:14 am

Haz1558

It's been in before, but it doesn't just spring to mind.

4:15 am

rubyfoo

lile, ty, but those can't really be words! hahah

4:15 am

Haz1558

sq5/20

4:15 am

sandrafrances

thanks

4:15 am

FMitch

Thanks Lile I was missing them, 6 left - r's and i's

4:15 am

rubyfoo

and then there's phantom hot dog

4:16 am

Lilecama

yw fm

4:17 am

Lilecama

4:18 am

FMitch

Enjoy!

4:18 am

Haz1558

Bye, Lile.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

lucky lile!

4:18 am

rubyfoo

does it come with a massage?

4:19 am

Lilecama

thank you. byee (wave) ps: haven't booked a massage as yet.... but who knows?

4:19 am

sandrafrances

just cannot get sq 5-20 any other clue please

4:20 am

Haz1558

sq plus the vowel that always follows q, then the first two letters of what you eat boiled, fried, scrambled.

4:20 am

sandrafrances

what word is that. thanks for the clue

4:20 am

FMitch

It's no good I am going to have to list.

4:21 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, sandra. I've never looked it up to see what it really is.

4:22 am

rubyfoo

to oscilate in an irregular manner!

4:22 am

FMitch

(of an electronic circuit or component) to produce an output that oscillates between a certain maximum and zero, esp. when due to the effect of a grid.

4:22 am

rubyfoo

we all knew that, hahah

4:22 am

Haz1558

I like my square egg better.

4:22 am

rubyfoo

and they probably mean this grid

4:23 am

sandrafrances

you are all very clever this morning!!!

4:23 am

FMitch

LOL ruby I was just thinking that.

4:24 am

FMitch

Flipping re words. but got there in the end.

4:25 am

Haz1558

Well done!

4:25 am

rubyfoo

do you call rutabzgas sw*** in the UK?

4:25 am

FMitch

yes we do ruby.

4:26 am

rubyfoo

here they just call them turnips (navets)

4:27 am

FMitch

technically turnips and sw5 are 2 different things but they do seem to get lumped together.

4:27 am

varumba

good morning all

4:27 am

rubyfoo

turnips seem much more like radishes

4:28 am

Haz1558

Good morning, varumba.

4:28 am

rubyfoo

4:28 am

varumba

FMitch

Morning var.

4:28 am

varumba

lol ruby... a bit early?

4:28 am

rubyfoo

*poof* and thanks for the clues, haz

4:29 am

rubyfoo

it's 11:30, lunch is at 12:15

4:29 am

Haz1558

Turnips have more orange flesh than sw5 and would be slightly bigger.

4:29 am

varumba

i have picked up difficult re words? i hate those.... never think of re words....

4:29 am

rubyfoo

I thought it was the other way around, haz

4:29 am

FMitch

Bye ruby.

4:29 am

rubyfoo

here, the turnips are white and the sw5 are yellow

4:30 am

FMitch

Not difficut re words just easy to forget to 're' everything.

4:30 am

varumba

true FM.. i suppose with time i'll temember those more easily

4:31 am

FMitch

There are 10 to do again re words if I have counted properly.

4:31 am

varumba

oh tx for the clue!

4:31 am

varumba

i'll remember that when i get to it ;)

4:32 am

Haz1558

Agreed, FM.

4:32 am

FMitch

Oh good I can always rely on Haz to sanity check me - relatively speaking ;)

4:33 am

Haz1558

*smug*

4:33 am

Haz1558

Or should that be *relatively smug*?

4:34 am

FMitch

heh heh

4:35 am

Haz1558

Well, time I was getting ready for the usual Saturday morning shopping expedition. I'd better lay in some chocolate supplies for the trick or treaters.

4:35 am

FMitch

The tropical downpour has passed and the sun has returned so I guess I should get my act together.

4:35 am

varumba

gl with that!

4:36 am

Haz1558

Nice to see you, FM and all the best with the grid, varumba. Bye!

4:36 am

Sally-catlover

Well I didn't sleep well last night, was awake at 4.30 am, and then about once a month I completely strip the hen houses and spray them. I do that first thing, then come in and have my shower and breakfast. I felt I deserved it.

5:01 am

varumba

wow, you sure did! sounds like a tough job

5:01 am

zoozzoom

Gosh, i would say so, Sally, you have done so much already.

5:01 am

Sally-catlover

Not tough, just takes about an hour to an hour and a half.

5:02 am

varumba

and here i am trying to get myself off this game to go gather leaves off the lawns and pathway.....

5:02 am

zoozzoom

I can imagine it being rather dark at that time of the morning, hope you had plenty of lighting.

5:03 am

Sally-catlover

Oh no! I didn't do it at 4.30am, hens were asleep then, unlike me. Started at first light.

5:17 am

Sally-catlover

Nice to find a little group, rather than one he4 and there.

5:18 am

zoozzoom

Don`t forget the words with the two `N`s together.

5:18 am

Sally-catlover

I think I've found four of those so far. Are there more?

5:19 am

zoozzoom

Thats what i got!

5:21 am

zoozzoom

5:23 am

Sally-catlover

5:34 am

Sally-catlover

Got it! Is it too early to pour myself a drink :-))

crosshair

howdy herin,trif

9:50 am

carleekat

a 50????

9:50 am

herinfernallady

Tell her to get a divorce or shut up and stop being so insensitive. There is things you don't talk about at work : Relationships particularly yours unless you are friends with that person and it is one on one, politics and sports.

9:50 am

crosshair

i never even knew there were 50,s

9:51 am

herinfernallady

well it is raining again.

9:51 am

carleekat

9:51 am

Trifioso

crossy, I thought of your boy today, as primo was grumbling off to his college art class. He was so funny! "I was promised hot naked chicks! So far all we have had was ugly naked guy. By the way, I need more pencils. There has never BEEN a hairier human!" It probably didn't help that I was bent over laughing....

9:51 am

carleekat

interesting..is it taking very long..the 50?

9:51 am

crosshair

when i used to bar tend there were 2 topics you never talked about politics or religeon

9:54 am

Trifioso

10:12 am

crosshair

when the potatos and eggs and pork start flying even my wife bails out of the kitchen

10:12 am

rubyfoo

rubyfoo

I am absolutely stuck with 81 words!

10:17 am

crosshair

10:17 am

10:17 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Crossy

10:18 am

MollyL

I always told him he didn't have it made properly. With brown sugar, raisins, walnuts and maple syrup. I love the stuff, when it's made right.

10:18 am

10:29 am

Nancy Boy

Crossy, I don't like to break the pleasant chat but I have to say it: I was offended by what you said yesterday.

10:29 am

crosshair

what id i say,you must be more specific nb,i offend many

10:29 am

Nancy Boy

that I look like I've just come out of hospital after a long illness!

10:30 am

crosshair

i am sorry nb,but you look too light and wan.you must come over for some of my breakfasts for a month

i can even make a awsome vegan brekkie

10:31 am

Nancy Boy

I've always had a difficult time putting on weight and I'm pretty sensitive about it. I'm a recovered anorexic and I really don't appreciate comments like that!

10:32 am

crosshair

crossy is sorry ...sniff

10:33 am

Nancy Boy

thanks. it just struck a nerve, I guess.

10:33 am

carleekat

NB... if i may interject... I know crossy would never make a comment with the intent to hurt or harm... if he said something..it was simply out of concern... perhaps worded a bit gruffly..but..never with hurt or malice in his tone...

10:34 am

Scrabbler

But the intention was sincere--he was concerned about your health.

10:34 am

crosshair

crossy makes mb a nice bowl of yougurt with blueberries and diced banana,s with honey crunch clusters on top as a peace offering

10:36 am

Scrabbler

Guess what I did last evening? I snipped off most of the skin tags on my neck. There are a few I couldn't reach. Now I have scabs all over my neck.

10:36 am

crosshair

ouch! how did you manage that?

10:36 am

Nancy Boy

I guess I don't doubt the intention, but it was an insulting thing to say. But, I've got it off my chest now, so as far as I'm concerned, we're good.

10:36 am

crosshair

are you not supposed to freeze them?

10:37 am

Scrabbler

I used my tiny surgical scissors and snipped away.

10:37 am

Nancy Boy

10:38 am

crosshair

i just better do the grid for a bit..;((

10:38 am

MollyL

((NB)) it must be hard to gain weight when you're a vegetarian. What kinds of things that you eat will help you gain weight? Beans?

10:38 am

crosshair

mmm misty jack...

10:38 am

Nancy Boy

I'm just teasing you now, Crossy :) I just had to say it because it hurt my feelings, that's all.

10:38 am

Scrabbler

I am on the verge of going vegan.

10:39 am

carleekat

hmmm..my oatmeal...cream...brown sugar....feeling warmth radiate outwards from my stomach....i might just soon...feel warm again

10:39 am

MollyL

Scrab, "On The Verge Of Vegan" sounds like a book title. : )

10:39 am

crosshair

lol,good stuff carlee

10:40 am

Nancy Boy

I don't think it's because of my diet, Molly, I just have a fast metabolism and a small appetite!

10:40 am

Nancy Boy

Oh Scrabbs, you really should...

10:40 am

SeaSpray

Lurking...speaking of weight...Scrabbs, couldl a vitamin D supplement cause you to lose weight?

10:40 am

carleekat

i couldnt do vegan..vegetarian..maybe....but i love milk...i love butter..i love buttermilk...yoghurt...and once in a while..a good steak or burger ( a feww times a year)..but i adore fish and seafood

10:41 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Molly. I could write that---the animal products that I currently consume = yogurt, cheese...I haven't had the desire for eggs in 6 or 8 wks.

10:41 am

carleekat

i would so miss fish and seafood....oh..my pan fried salmon is to die for

10:41 am

crosshair

carlle,i make a battered trout that is so fine....

10:42 am

carleekat

i go through months no eggs scrabs..then all of a sudeen..i will go through a dozen in a week...either scrambled..or egg salad..and then not touch again for months

10:42 am

carleekat

why do we end up talking food....all the time????

10:42 am

crosshair

i have no idea

10:42 am

MollyL

NB, I'll trade you my low metabolism for your fast one.

10:42 am

Scrabbler

I don't think so, SS. Read www.vitamindcouncil.org. Take 5000 IU/Day all winter, for a boosted immune system.

10:43 am

Nancy Boy

lol Molly!

10:43 am

carleekat

so would I..or nb..just share a bit of it..pls...i u love me..u will share

10:43 am

SeaSpray

I take 2000 a day and have lost about 14 pounds since starting

10:43 am

crosshair

yes,i have a nice slow one you can have also

10:43 am

Nancy Boy

I definitely don't miss eggs. Highest cholesterol density of any common food. No ta.

10:43 am

Scrabbler

How much have you lost so far, Crossy? I hit 20 lbs this past week.

10:43 am

Scrabbler

Whooo, hooo, SS!

10:43 am

crosshair

i have stalled at 15,but am in no panic bout it atm

10:44 am

MollyL

Oh hell! Off to buy some Vitamin D supplements. Whee!

10:44 am

carleekat

maybe just an over feeling of feeling better gave u more energy ss...which in turn made u more active???

10:44 am

SeaSpray

Yes, but I have always battled with weight...guess its a good thing lol

10:44 am

Scrabbler

SS, perhaps you are much more careful about your diet, more conscious about eating?

10:45 am

SeaSpray

Hmmm, I just went on a cruise and left my conscience at home lol But, it it true that I don't eat as much as I used to.

10:45 am

Scrabbler

Are you exercising more?

10:46 am

SeaSpray

Not really, unless you count babble

10:47 am

carleekat

even going about just doing your normal stuff at a brisker pace....standing up taller... increases blood flow etc...so you feel better....and thus sleep better...can lead to some weight loss...

10:47 am

SeaSpray

I do feel much better carlee as I was Vitamin D deficient...what you and scrabbs say makes sense

10:47 am

carleekat

those who mope about feeling blah... have a slower metabolism

10:48 am

carleekat

take mine...it is a snail pace atm....but last night..was going like 90..all night...

10:49 am

Scrabbler

Vit D deficiency is now known to be widespread in those living up north and in anyone that carefully uses sun blocks.

10:49 am

crosshair

i take a multi vitamin,glucosomine and probiotics

10:49 am

crosshair

i am hoping the glucosomine can help this tiffness

10:49 am

Scrabbler

And it is implicated as a possible cause in the autism epidemic.

10:49 am

crosshair

stiffness

10:50 am

SeaSpray

I also take a multivitamin...I am not complaining...just curious I guess

10:50 am

carleekat

REALLY?????? i had not heard that scrabs...

10:51 am

MollyL

I hadn't heard that either Scrab, and I have a son with a learning disorder in the autism spectrum.

10:51 am

Scrabbler

Read that web site--by an MD. Read the section on autism. When I first read that I had goosebumps. It truly makes sense.

10:51 am

carleekat

i suck at taking vitamins....i just cannot get in the habit....i will for 3 or 4 weeks..then all of a sudeen i forget....even if i leave on couter to remind me

10:52 am

MollyL

I'll have to go find that information. Although my son had all the normal Vitamin D type foods as an infant and toddler.

10:52 am

SeaSpray

that is scary Scrabbs...

10:52 am

Scrabbler

I take a multivit, omega 3 fatty acid, alpha lipoic acid, co-enzyme Q10, magnesium, calcium, Vit D, and one baby aspirin daily

10:53 am

Scrabbler

Molly, does your son have ASD?

10:54 am

crosshair

the 81 mg type scrabbs?

10:54 am

Scrabbler

Kat, I use a pillbox, labeled with the days, and keep it where I don't forget.

10:54 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Crossy.

10:54 am

carleekat

i would ignore it

10:54 am

crosshair

i have been thinking of aspirin daily preventative cause of my age and weight

10:54 am

SeaSpray

bbl must do some things to prepare for a halloween party tonight nice chatting

10:55 am

carleekat

short of having someone deliver them to me with a glass of water and saying....take this....

10:55 am

Scrabbler

So where could you place it to remember? What part of your daily routine?

10:55 am

My son was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder as a toddler. Speech and gross motor delays. He has trouble with cognitive comprehension. Other than that, he's a very independent young man. Already working two jobs at 18.

11:01 am

carleekat

i just get tired of taking them scrabs...

11:07 am

joey

I am usually a lurker, but I have to say this has been a very informative morning. First about the vitamins, I truly agree. I just have all the stuff I need to take every day in pill boxes and that is the first thing I do when I get up. I have made up my mind that I have to take the pills before I have my first soda of the day and that works for me.

11:08 am

stidmama

((((JOEY!!!)))) *many happy hugs*

11:12 am

the absolutely worst part of this one - a friend got a hot tub for me and brought it down two days before surgery. I was in it the night before surgery and now can't get back in for about 2 more weeks. It is killing me. She got it from Craigslist in st louis and brought it down on her truck. It is something that I have wanted for a long time, but my mom thought was a waste of money, energy and why did I need it.

11:12 am

stidmama

no, they are presenting their projects this coming week -- most of them will be successful. Some of them won't have anything. A few of them will absolutely shine.

11:12 am

stidmama

but thanks anyway carlee

11:12 am

stidmama

oh that is a lovely thing to look forward to! what a great friend!

11:13 am

carleekat

that is how it goes ( BTW..took about 30 mins total time to do )

11:14 am

carleekat

it is a lovely thing your friend did...but soon...soon u can enjoy :)

11:15 am

stidmama

glad it was quick for your kids carlee. I am looking forward to being with elementary kids in the spring, more opportunities (I hope) for activities that stimulate fine motor skills. Although, with the high-stakes testing, I fear I may be teaching them simply how to take tests.

11:16 am

carleekat

figure out ways to cover the material with art stiddy... they never get enough art..and there are ways...a gril friend of mine is an elementary teacher...and she i fear lacks magination...she comes to me for art project ideas and i always ask what they are covering in math or science first...

11:16 am

2:25 pm

Kazzer99

will be putting tree up in the next couple of weeks - having inlaws down and will be doing xmas lunch

2:25 pm

hurshy

you kind of can't want more from it because they are still trying to be careful not to become actually political and circumscribe their own roles, since they do believe their job is to be comedians, and they're only taking on the role of calling for sanity because there isn't anyone else to do it. but you can tell they will always think it would be better if there were somebody else doing it and that limits what they can do.

2:26 pm

Jillyjill

Happy Saturday all!!

2:27 pm

hurshy

there is one thing i would have liked and that is at the end if they would have just let people go on chanting "USA" after tony bennett sang, and gone out on that.

2:30 pm

hurshy

really they just wanted to have demonstrable evidence in front of the media and everyone that one could in fact gather 150,000 people who are in favor of polite and civil discourse, as a sort of way to say, hey, see, lots of people want this, could we please do it now?

2:31 pm

hurshy

that's why jon stewart said their presence was what he wanted.

ooh look my icon is appropriate by accident for tonight and tomorrow

3:27 pm

mrswhiski

Did I scare you????

3:27 pm

Soodle

Thats more like it! Thanks Mrs Whiski. Have you ever seen/felt him?

3:28 pm

mrswhiski

Nope - just read about him. He only comes out at night and I'm usually in bed!!!

3:28 pm

Kazzer99

I've seen a ghost - more than one - one was spooky one was sad and then there were the weird ones

3:29 pm

Soodle

LOL. Thats the best way to encounter ghosts.... vicariously.

3:29 pm

Jillyjill

It was an old victorian in Butte Montana. I lived with a roomate in the 3rd story servatnts quarter. Several times I was alone at night in house on a weekend. One could make all sorts of claims/reasons for what I heard, but I was never really scared. Things would be moved around apartment, you would hear distinct footsteps on stairs etc.

3:29 pm

Soodle

C'mon Kaz...... spill...

3:29 pm

mrswhiski

There's a ghost walk in town tonight. I will NOT be going

3:30 pm

rururocks

why.. will it be three sheets in the wind?

3:30 pm

Jillyjill

I also had a door across from my bedroom that was direct access to attic, old elecrical system with the pushbutton on/off switches. Some nights that light would click off and on on it's own and if you went up to attic there were those "cold spots"

3:30 pm

mrswhiski

lol ruru

3:31 pm

lynxxx

hi Ruru

3:31 pm

Kazzer99

the nice was was when we visited a church - I like churches. there was an old lady in the front pew praying - like people do and I sat down a few rows behind her. She got up and turned left towards the outer aisle and a door to the outside which was locked and closed and walked hrough it

3:31 pm

Soodle

Theres an old jail here in Ireland, which has been opened to the public. Its called Wicklow Jail. Seemingly, it is the most haunted place in Ireland...

3:32 pm

lynxxx

wow Kazz

3:32 pm

Soodle

Golly Kaz...

3:32 pm

Jillyjill

Duly noted soodle, and put on my "to do in Ireland" list!

3:32 pm

Kazzer99

apparaently she was a regular visitor

3:33 pm

mrswhiski

the ghost storyteller claims there are ghosts everywhere all day but there's too much noise to hear them during the day

3:33 pm

mrswhiski

Wicklow Jail was awesome!

3:33 pm

susanj2

Soon after we moved into our home, my adult daughter was sleeping. And she heard what sounded like a ball bouncing off her wall. It woke her, but she saw nothing. A few minutes later, she heard a woman's voice whisper "SHHH! She's sleeping!" My 3 year old grandson has also told us that "the boy" woke him up and was playing with his toys.

3:34 pm

Kazzer99

there is a very haunted place in Devon called Berry Pomeroy Castle - that was a but spooky - also i am convinced we have a ghost in this house but it is only 36 years old and as far as i know everyone that has lived here is still alive

3:34 pm

Soodle

Oh my, Susan.... did anything else happen?

3:34 pm

lynxxx

what nice spirits Susan

3:35 pm

mrswhiski

See what you started Soodle - well done!

3:35 pm

Soodle

Mrswhiski... did you visit Wicklow Jail?

3:36 pm

Soodle

ROFL........ I am only getting into the spirit of Halloween...

3:36 pm

Nef

Soodle, I grew up in a house that was 120+ years old; my great grandma died in that house and as kids we often "saw" visions of her even though she died before we were born. She was a protector, however; so we never were scared or afraid of her

3:37 pm

mrswhiski

Yes. My husband & I visited Ireland for our 25th Anniversary

3:38 pm

susanj2

We see shadows pass by a lot. Toys disappear. Images of a woman and child. Sometimes a feeling of someone leaning over when you are online....

3:38 pm

Nef

(and we're Irish too!)

3:38 pm

Kazzer99

fiery words for me - off to watch the rest of the x factor and then see if i have won the lottery

3:38 pm

susanj2

We have rented here for 4 years, and the house is only about 25 years old.

3:38 pm

lynxxx

Congrats Kazz

3:39 pm

Soodle

Mrs Whiske, I have lived in Ireland for 50 years and never got there.....Sheesh! But I am a firm believer that life exists beyond what we can see....Happy halloween all...........

3:39 pm

Nef

YAY, Kazzer! WTG!!!

3:39 pm

rururocks

<---doesn't believe in spooks

3:40 pm

Kazzer99

defo soodle - my grandad visits me on a regular basis

3:40 pm

Soodle

'Twas a dark and stormy night, Ruru....

3:40 pm

Nef

I don't believe in spooks, ruru. But I do believe in spirits..... ;-)

3:41 pm

Jillyjill

I actually think there is a helpful spirit in our home, although built in 1972. There has been many instances of misplaced items that are later found in 'plain sight' places. Like my wedding ring. I always place it in a spot on my dresser. Not there one morning, looked everywhere for several days. Then it appears on dining room chest...where we walk by everytime we walk into kitchen.

3:41 pm

Kazzer99

nitey nite all see you tomorrow

3:41 pm

rururocks

I believe in spirits too.. but mostly scotch

3:41 pm

Jillyjill

niters kazz! Sweet dreams

3:42 pm

mrswhiski

Soodle - you have a beautiful country we would return to in a flash

3:42 pm

Nef

See! We DO agree on some things! :-D

3:42 pm

rururocks

i'm easy

3:43 pm

Soodle

Oh, how nice of you to say that Mrswhiski. You would be very welcome back... :-)

3:43 pm

Nef

we know, ruru :-)

3:45 pm

mrswhiski

With a name like O'Brien my husband lays claim as a descendant of King Brian Boru !!!!

3:46 pm

Soodle

Mrswhiski...I am originally from Clontarf....where Brian Boru met his fate, in 1014!!

3:46 pm

Nef

I can't stand scarey movies or TV shows; but I do like watching the ghost shows on the Travel Channel and discovery channel. For some reason those shows don't scare me

3:47 pm

Soodle

I guess I better go to bed... Lovely

3:47 pm

Soodle

I guess I better go to bed... Lovely

3:48 pm

mrswhiski

He tried to throw everyone out of Bunratty Castle the ancestral home. As usual no one listened to him

3:48 pm

Nef

niters, soodle. Sleep well

3:48 pm

rururocks

bye kids.. off to get a hair cut.

3:48 pm

Jillyjill

Nite Soodle!! Sweet unhaunted dreams to you... ;)

3:48 pm

mrswhiski

Jillyjill

See you ruru! clip clip

3:54 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

3:54 pm

lynxxx

hi jmc

3:56 pm

jmcnrick

i haven't started the grid and am going to a party in three hours

3:57 pm

lynxxx

Its actually pretty quick except for the last 10-20, you could list - depending on how long it takes to get prettied up

3:57 pm

mrswhiski

it's a fun one

3:57 pm

Bugsaw

hi jmc and fellow lurkers

3:58 pm

lynxxx

hi Bugs

3:58 pm

jmcnrick

or uglied up ;-)

3:58 pm

jmcnrick

hi bugs

3:58 pm

jmcnrick

howjado mrs whiski

3:58 pm

lynxxx

oh - for Haloween I guess

3:59 pm

Bugsaw

hi lynxx . I was just back reading the chog and mrswhiski's stories

3:59 pm

jmcnrick

i have seen ghosts

3:59 pm

lynxxx

We don't really do Haloween here - though there is a big push by Supermarkets/department stores to flog stuff for it this year

4:00 pm

Bugsaw

tell us your stories then jmc

4:00 pm

jmcnrick

saw my grandmother the day of her funeral at the house afters checking to see if everyone got what they needed

4:00 pm

jmcnrick

took me several minutes to realize she should have been there it was so natural

4:00 pm

mrswhiski

Soodlebum made me tell a ghost story because she gave me a clue. Things just kind of went from there!!!

4:00 pm

Bugsaw

Halloween is actually going out of fashion here lynxx. Too many weird people and overly concerned parents who won't let their kids know the thrill of being out after dark.

4:01 pm

jmcnrick

i wish it would go out of fashion here but it is not a childrens holiday anymore

4:01 pm

jmcnrick

i also saw my husband after his death

4:02 pm

jmcnrick

more surprising was during meeting for worship one day. . .

4:02 pm

lynxxx

Just once jmc?

4:02 pm

mrswhiski

This Canadian agrees. Most of the trick & treating happens in appartments and malls. Too bad the adults had to take over this kids holiday

4:02 pm

Bugsaw

I guess that is what I meant jmc. It is not for little kids any more. The teenagers have taken over with partying, drinking and random vandalism.

4:02 pm

jmcnrick

you have to understand that the kind of quaker I am sit in silence waiting for God to speak

4:03 pm

jmcnrick

and a woman i didn't know real well rose and said. . .

4:03 pm

jmcnrick

Ricks says to tell j and the meeting that he is okay

4:03 pm

jmcnrick

she went on. . .

4:03 pm

Bugsaw

I think it is highly apropriate that he would visit you there jmc. He knew how important your faith is to you ( and probably that you are too busy to notice the rest of the time)

4:03 pm

jmcnrick

i asked him why he was telling me since i didn't know him well and he said.. .

4:03 pm

jmcnrick

because you will do it.

4:04 pm

jmcnrick

I burst into tears and the meeting was shook

4:04 pm

jmcnrick

many years later when she was in her late 80s and most of her mind gone she still told anyone who heard about Rick speaking to her

4:05 pm

lynxxx

I think I would have been too - wow jmc not the kind of thing you will ever forget

4:05 pm

jmcnrick

she reminded me of the story the day before she died

4:05 pm

jmcnrick

nope i will never forget it

4:05 pm

Bugsaw

it is a wonderful story of love jmc.

4:05 pm

jmcnrick

i thought so

4:06 pm

mrswhiski

I agree bug

4:06 pm

jmcnrick

i feel him near me still

4:06 pm

mrswhiski

he is

4:07 pm

jhb

Yes he is jmcnrick. I know that Robert is around me often even though he died almost 13 years ago.

4:07 pm

Bugsaw

Yes, I can feel a presence of someone who loves me and have all my life, but I am not sure who it is.

4:07 pm

jmcnrick

okay to the grid for a few . . . !

4:08 pm

Bugsaw

A friend who has the ability to see spirits who saw a wonderful old lady who loved me "beaming love at me" but she died in 1993. I still feel her

4:08 pm

lynxxx

morning jhb - You have gone Pro!

4:09 pm

jmcnrick

rick died oct 16 1993

4:09 pm

Bugsaw

welcome jhb to the most addictive game around

4:09 pm

lynxxx

That is reassuring Bugs

4:09 pm

jhb

Thanks Bugsaw. I have been playing for a few eeks and thought I should really become part of the community. Thanks for all being so welcome to somebody from the other side of the world.

4:10 pm

jhb

eeks shoudl read weeks of course.

4:10 pm

jmcnrick

so lynxxx i made it past the second cut on the job I applied for -- I am to come for the personal interview -- one of four people

4:10 pm

jmcnrick

i have had a few eeks!

4:10 pm

jmcnrick

welcome to pro jhb

4:10 pm

mrswhiski

4:11 pm

jhb

Congrats and welcome to positive thinking jmcnrick.
Visualise the intervgiew and how you are going to feel when they offer you the job.

4:11 pm

Bugsaw

mrs whiski did you go pro today? You still show as a visitor

4:11 pm

lynxxx

The Philly job right? Good luck - if you really want it!

4:11 pm

jhb

You may have guessed. In my other life I am a life coach.

4:11 pm

mrswhiski

I know lol I'm too busy trying to find all these darn words

4:12 pm

jmcnrick

ty yes the philly job i want all except the philly part ;-)

4:12 pm

jmcnrick

lol thanks jhb

4:12 pm

Bugsaw

jmc I am shocked that you are planning a move. You are so passionate about what you do! Will your new position be along the same lines?

4:12 pm

lynxxx

Too far from your boy or you don't like the town?

4:13 pm

mrswhiski

I went Pro on Tuesday Gee that sounds funny like I can really golf or something!

4:13 pm

jmcnrick

i am passionate enough to know when to leave bugs

4:13 pm

jmcnrick

don't like the baseball team

4:13 pm

jmcnrick

;-)

4:14 pm

jmcnrick

organizations suffer if the same person is in charge too long

4:14 pm

lynxxx

lol

4:15 pm

Bugsaw

Yes, there is even a song that says Philly fans have been known to get nasty so you better not cheer out loud when there

4:15 pm

Bugsaw

You are a wise woman jmc. Fresh blood is always helpful to growth

4:15 pm

jmcnrick

that is actually and sadly accurate

4:15 pm

jmcnrick

*puts on halo*

4:16 pm

jmcnrick

is that on straight?

4:16 pm

jhb

Bows down to jmc

4:16 pm

Bugsaw

suits you beautifully jmc

4:16 pm

Bugsaw

do you have a ring we should kiss too? ;)

4:16 pm

jmcnrick

no no, no bowing I am humble too

4:17 pm

jhb

But gee it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way

4:17 pm

Nef

Dang; Dh wants me to take him to a Halloween party at his mens club; and I want to finish the grid. We haveto go to my daughters' roller derby bout in 2 hours too

4:17 pm

jmcnrick

oh lord its hard to be humble when you are perfect in most every way!!!!

4:18 pm

jmcnrick

busy social life there nef

4:18 pm

Nef

LOL, jmc!

4:18 pm

Bugsaw

I try to convince people I am Mary Poppins who was "practically perfect in every way" but no luck yet

4:19 pm

Nef

*I* would rather just do the bout. I spent too many hours yesterday in a tire shop and doing other stupid stuff and am out of sorts I guess

4:19 pm

jmcnrick

there was a country music song i was singing

4:19 pm

jmcnrick

hank williams jr

4:21 pm

jhb

We used to call my husand Peter Perfect and the first time my two children who were teenagers at the time, heard the Hank Williams jr song they called out - quick Mum. they're playing Dad's song.

5:04 pm

cosdem

the stores were packed with people looking for costumes

5:06 pm

trentsnana

10 more....

5:09 pm

trentsnana

does it ever seem that you've tried a word and it didn't work and then later you try the same word and it takes it? I swear that happens sometimes!

5:09 pm

cosdem

all the time

5:09 pm

wht

Hi all. Can I have a clue for the we6,42? I don't have any drunken 5 yr old boys around to ask.

5:11 pm

5:14 pm

trentsnana

oops, sorry

5:15 pm

trentsnana

we 6/42 - boys sometimes call their private part this

5:15 pm

trentsnana

perfect example of why drunken boys did this board

5:15 pm

cosdem

lol haha

5:15 pm

trentsnana

then plural after that

5:17 pm

MollyL

See, we are the naughty children. Earlier today, people were cluing that "what the pig said all the way home". : P

5:17 pm

5:19 pm

trentsnana

ahhh, no the wi 6/33, not we, wht

5:19 pm

5:22 pm

MollyL

Ah, the smell of freshly carved pumpkins. That's Halloween.

5:22 pm

MollyL

The 9 doesn't.

5:23 pm

MollyL

The 8 plays off a 4.

5:23 pm

trentsnana

one more...

5:24 pm

trentsnana

I can imagine the smell, but didn't get a pumpkin this year...

5:24 pm

wht

The wi8 is the plural of where the 5 year old boys went before they made the grid.

5:24 pm

MollyL

I was lucky to get one TNana, and it's small. The pumpkin bin was all but empty this morning. I think Halloween being on a weekend had something to do with that.

11:19 pm

Jillyjill

NB....kinda my day too..lol

11:19 pm

Jillyjill

Well, you get pretty light headed with all that breathing, fall over and hit your head...then pass out

11:19 pm

Pinikula

11:19 pm

J. C.

And if you're looking for Ian, Pini - try in our bedroom upstairs. He's the sensible one, after all...
