good morning every body. Anybody?

3:43 am

dizgrannie

hi Ruby, very quiet around here

3:44 am

rubyfoo

hello dizgrannie. How are you feeling? How was Mothers' Day?

3:46 am

dizgrannie

had a lovely day, thanx.had 3 of the g/kids here then later on spoke to the other 2 g/kids on skype

3:46 am

rubyfoo

wow, 5 grandchildren! you are very fortunate!

3:51 am

dizgrannie

thanx Ruby, they are all wonderful and growing up tooo fast. Eldest is nearly 11 and youngest will be 4 next Saturday. Plus we also have TJ who is our little 'angel up in heaven'

3:52 am

rubyfoo

oh, sad! How old was he when he passed away?

3:56 am

dizgrannie

tis okay, he passed not long after birth, had severe medical probs, his mum (our dtr) says she is blessed that she had him and blessed that he passed early because he would not have had a decent life. His 2 sisters and his brother always talk of him and celebrate his birthday every year. He would have been 7 on the 17th of this month

3:57 am

rubyfoo

what a wonderful family you have! To have maintained awareness of the lost baby and to celebrate his short life, is very special!

4:05 am

rubyfoo

yay half and nbt but no 7's or 8!

4:09 am

dizgrannie

try sh 5 7 8

4:11 am

rubyfoo

I have 6 sh's and have given them to the monkeys who are all scratching their little heads....

4:12 am

rubyfoo

got them, thank you!

4:12 am

rubyfoo

gave the monks bananas

4:12 am

dizgrannie

ie and ier on the end of the sh 5 meaning gloss

4:13 am

rubyfoo

cince

4:13 am

rubyfoo

not a word, but whoops anyway

4:15 am

rubyfoo

my housekeeper of 8+ years just gave notice! what am I going to do with this dirty house after whe leaves?

4:16 am

sprite

morning all... can I be lazy and not change my icon today?

4:16 am

rubyfoo

I have more than a month to find somebody who 1. isn't afraid of dogs, 2. is honest, and 3. doesn't wear perfume

4:17 am

rubyfoo

4:17 am

sprite

hi rubyfoo, think positive, you might find a great one

4:17 am

rubyfoo

and is prompt, clean, reliable......

4:17 am

rubyfoo

this one was the absolute greatest! but she's 58 or so and doesn't need the money.....

4:19 am

sprite

I know, same thing has happened to me. She only gave me 2 weeks' notice, the person I found was just plain hopeless and I haven't found another one since. Cannot do much myself, so the house isn't what you'd call clean :(

4:19 am

rubyfoo

and once there are animals going in and out, it is impossible to keep clean for long anyway

4:20 am

sprite

but finding a good one in the netherlands is just very hard, especially if one wants to be able to communicate with them.

4:20 am

rubyfoo

Catherine has also been my friend, French teacher, confidante, etc

4:20 am

sprite

can't she recommend somebody?

4:20 am

rubyfoo

loves the dogs etc. and has a son and husband who occasionally work as handymen/gardeners

4:21 am

rubyfoo

no, she lives in a village as fancy as this one!

4:21 am

rubyfoo

she suggested I put up little notices in the local stores and start interviewing

4:21 am

rubyfoo

I will also ask all my neighbors; somebody might know somebody

4:22 am

rubyfoo

our first housekeeper was Moroccan, but although the house was immaculate, she was a "time cheat". If we went to Geneva for the day, she'd be gone after 5 minutes! and was ALWAYS late

4:22 am

sprite

my good news for today: I was almost 4 months behind with paying bills (yeah I know, but I have been poorly and couldn't manage). Opened all the bills this weekend, called all the firms this morning and now everything is paid, no problems, no bad results. I did well!

4:22 am

rubyfoo

and inevitably came with a tale of woe.....

4:23 am

rubyfoo

that is excellent, Sprite!!! I know how heavily paperwork can weigh on you and it only gets worse!

4:23 am

sprite

if you pay someone for 4 hours and they work for 5 minutes, they aren't just time cheats, they steal.

4:23 am

rubyfoo

that's how we felt

4:24 am

rubyfoo

or if they work for 3 1/2 hrs but are paid for 4...it adds up

4:24 am

sprite

oh yeah! I always tell myself it is so much worse if you don't do it, but I can be totally scared of the drawer with bills. Part of my ptsd. But at least this time I tackled it myself and got it all sorted out.

4:25 am

rubyfoo

my husband just ignore all the pending tax and other issues and leaves everything to me, very hard to manage

4:25 am

rubyfoo

I have to go, love to sprite and grannie

4:25 am

sprite

my husband is the same. If I don't do it, it will not be done at all.

4:25 am

sprite

bye rubyfoo, have a good day

4:26 am

rubyfoo

one of my friend referred to Pope John Paul as the saint of ignoring all problems until you die! hahah

4:26 am

sprite

lol

4:26 am

rubyfoo

5:50 am

blueheron

well, I had to go to the br, and since I'm kinda laid up with a torn calf muscle, I decided to stay up.

5:51 am

sprite

sounds very painful :(

5:52 am

blueheron

I was at the hospital on friday and will be calling an ortho dr this morning.

5:52 am

sprite

I hope it heals fast!

5:53 am

blueheron

They splinted me at the hospital, I can't use crutches because I have a fused wrist so I've been hopping around with a walker.

5:53 am

sprite

feels hopeless, doesn't it :)

5:54 am

blueheron

Thank-you Sprite

5:54 am

blueheron

I'm already going crazy, having to be waited on.I absolutely hate it.

5:55 am

blueheron

But at least I have the help, so I shouldn't complain.

5:56 am

blueheron

I really won't know the total damage until I see the ortho.

5:57 am

blueheron

send good vibes my way!

5:57 am

sprite

I do :) Loads of good vibes!

6:15 am

uusue2

6:16 am

9:04 am

MollyL

Isn't that strange. Babble was working fine for me until about 9AM.

9:04 am

Aloyisius

init = isn't it; "the train is very fast, init?" gheez

9:04 am

jmcnrick

init?

9:04 am

Aloyisius

that is strange, init?

9:04 am

A hike with the fluffies really cleared my head

My lilac is so small that I can't see it from the house but when (if) my son retires here, it will be magnificent
!

10:03 am

rubyfoo

the only snow we had was in December (4 ft) but then we had none after. But there is a bad drought and, if it doesn't rain soon, there'll be water restrictions. we'll have to use Evian (just kidding) -- let them eat cake, etc.

Martin is sh8 than Charlie. : P

11:31 am

jmcnrick

yw

11:32 am

jmcnrick

i think charlie is sh8 since martin totally made up the last name and charlie just used it

11:34 am

MollyL

Good point. Either way, they are both the sh7/32st.

11:34 am

MollyL

Emilio is not 7/32 at all. : D

11:34 am

jmcnrick

my all time favorite martin quote: when network tv wanted to claim martin being on a show proved they had good hispanic parts he said, "It doesn't count. I am Hispanic by birth but Irish by profession."

11:35 am

MollyL

I love it!

11:35 am

jmcnrick

that is because emilio actually uses the real family name.

11:35 am

MollyL

Making him non-sh7/32.

11:37 am

jmcnrick

Did someone take umbrage at Ru's icon? I wouldn't be surprised. One night I joked about LilMonkey going to an orgy and was told "there could be children here you know".

12:21 pm

trentsnana

1:00 pm

MollyL

Your welcome Snags. Kazz, bless your sister. This has to be one of the hardest things there is for a Mother to go through.

1:14 pm

Kazzer99

yes - particularly as she was expected to clean the flat - maggots etc - i cant go further than that it makes my skin crawl

1:25 pm

MollyL

Oh that's terrible. Couldn't someone be hired to do that?

1:27 pm

Kazzer99

we've got no money - the rest of the family is on benefits so they had to buckle up and get on with it - still havent got the cat out of the flat yet. i thought it was the duty of the council to do these things. anyway dear babble friends i am off to get changed to go swimming - I might finish this off later so if you are about i will be back about 930 uk timr

1:27 pm

Kazzer99

1:32 pm

oh, my goodness- that is the saddest story I have ever heard - wishing only peace and comfort for Kazz and family -

1:33 pm

Praes

Dear God, sorry to disturb you , but i got a problem that i haft tell ya..... you see, im addicted to babble and i've been playing on my mobile, its hard to see..... I just need you to create an app for the android to save my eyes, i really would appreciate it... it would bring a lot more players in

1:34 pm

Scrabbler

I second that request, Praes! I got my Android several wks ago.

1:34 pm

LeslieAnn

not god here, but hello praes

1:34 pm

Scrabbler

JBV, I missed Kazzer's story. What happened?

1:34 pm

Praes

aha! but there is a Dr. God here... He controls everything!

1:35 pm

Praes

btw, hello LeslieAnn..

1:35 pm

LeslieAnn

i wasn't quite sure to which you were referring ;)

1:35 pm

Scrabbler

Hi LA

1:36 pm

LeslieAnn

hello there scrabbs

1:37 pm

Scrabbler

Today has been "no-show" day for me. And my 2:30 patient is not here yet.

1:37 pm

LeslieAnn

ah so now we know what docs do in their down time :)

1:38 pm

Scrabbler

I am at a satellite clinic where it is much calmer. I finished the newspaper, signed charts, did refills, etc.

1:39 pm

Scrabbler

Playing Babble keeps me sane.

1:39 pm

LeslieAnn

that's why i'm here at the moment :)

1:39 pm

wildcat17

me 3

1:39 pm

Scrabbler

Hi wildcat

1:40 pm

wildcat17

hi sneaking babble on lunch break

1:40 pm

MollyL

Scrabs (hate being the teller of news like this) Kazz's niece commit suicide.

1:41 pm

LeslieAnn

oh no how awful. i missed the first part of the story, i assumed they were talking about their mum

1:42 pm

JBV

hi scrabs - sorry stepped away for a sec

1:42 pm

LeslieAnn

which is still awful, but i assumed natural causes.

1:42 pm

JBV

very very tragic but the worst is that her mom had to go in and clean up the apartment - couldn't someone have done that for her?

1:42 pm

wildcat17

she was only 20

1:43 pm

LeslieAnn

oh how heartbreaking.

1:43 pm

wildcat17

kazz said they had no money to hire someone

1:43 pm

JBV

how about other family members? I don't know it just seems too much to ask of a mother

1:44 pm

sadie52

Hello Everyone :)

1:44 pm

Scrabbler

Very sad. Too young to know that things can and will get better.

1:44 pm

wildcat17

the child was estranged from most of the family

1:44 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Sadie

1:44 pm

jessmom

I think Kazzer said she hadn't been seen for a week or two, so that cleanup must have been horrible.

1:44 pm

LeslieAnn

hi sadie

1:44 pm

JBV

that's what I mean jess

1:44 pm

sadie52

Hi Leslie and Scrabbler

1:46 pm

uusue2

hi, all! So sorry (which really doesn't even begin to touch it) to hear about Kazz's niece. Just awful.

1:47 pm

Scrabbler

For the survivors: a lifetime of "If only____" and "What if___?"

1:47 pm

JBV

yes, suicide is unlike any other grief -

1:48 pm

Scrabbler

One of my patients, a 17 yr old boy, middle of 3 boys, hung himself 14 mo ago.

1:49 pm

LeslieAnn

and usually very unfair questions for the survivors to be asking themselves.

1:49 pm

MollyL

It is ten shades of wrong that a grieving Mother should be expected to do such a gruesome thing.

1:50 pm

uusue2

indeed, molly.

1:50 pm

Scrabbler

Yes. Someone should have volunteered to do that cleaning.

2:03 pm

Scrabbler

Is anyone else stuck with this grid?

2:04 pm

LeslieAnn

i just hit halfway, i assme i'll be stuck soon enough :)

2:05 pm

2:08 pm

Scrabbler

Hi HH. Why not use a nasal spray (steroid or anithistamine)--far more effective and no systemic effects.

2:08 pm

Scrabbler

You are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

2:08 pm

HarryHood

I ran out of my nasal spray - anyway it always has other effects - usually keeps me up at night or makes me depressed.

2:13 pm

5:28 pm

Michnick

5:28 pm

westford

5:32 pm

Michnick

How is your Dad?

5:33 pm

hi Sue

5:33 pm

uusue2

he's doing great, mich! also my stepmom is out of the hospital, I should update my profile

5:33 pm

lynxxx

another ic4.6 not a fish but an abbrev for a fish disease

5:33 pm

Michnick

Ahh, and is there communication b/w them?

5:35 pm

westford

thanks lyn

5:35 pm

uusue2

only through me and my stepbrother (she talks to him, he talks to me, I talk to my dad). Not very efficient.

5:35 pm

Michnick

OK, how difficult. After so many years!

5:36 pm

uusue2

indeed. and stupid, if you ask me.

5:36 pm

Michnick

YOu said it. Amazing how well your dad is holding up. MOre power to him!

5:37 pm

uusue2

his best boyhood friend is coming to visit him in a couple of weeks - they've known each other 83 years now (!)

5:37 pm

westford

that is wonderful sue

5:38 pm

Michnick

Incredible. My mom has a few friends like that. So beautiful

5:39 pm

Michnick

I wonder if our kids will have friends like that, everything is so disposable today, including relationships.

5:41 pm

uusue2

on the other hand they're not limited by proximity the way we were...I remember if I wanted to play with someone I had to walk to their house (the phone was just for grownups)

5:42 pm

Michnick

That's true. I had the phone, but if I couldn't walk it, or ride my bike, then the friendship was just for in-school. When I was 14 I was allowed to take the train to meet friends, how grown up!

5:43 pm

uusue2

and now look at us! :-)

5:44 pm

Michnick

Ok, but how many childhood friends are you still in touch with?

5:44 pm

uusue2

none but then I was kind of a loner when I was a kid

5:46 pm

lynxxx

I am in touch with none, didn't maintain any past my teenage years. I have always thought women tend to take on their partners friends (except for family of course)

5:47 pm

westford

our oldest daughter makes it a point to have a girls' weekend once a year with her friends

5:48 pm

redturtlehead

hello all. thanks to Facebook, I am back in touch with a lot of childhood freinds.

5:48 pm

Michnick

I guess some women do. I have made an effort to keep up with some friends but all but one are from high school. I rediscovered friends on FB though, after 30 years and it is wonderful.

5:48 pm

westford

hi red

5:48 pm

uusue2

5:49 pm

5:50 pm

westford

5:51 pm

lynxxx

lol, haven't heard that expression for years

5:51 pm

Michnick

I was just thinking that, about your mom. I guess Pip fits someone her age.

5:52 pm

westford

I recorded the Royal Wedding and we were watching it together yesterday and she had such fun

5:53 pm

Michnick

Sounds great. I didn't get to see any of it. It was a busy Friday for me.

7:22 pm

redturtlehead

there is an 8? oh wow. I never even looked for it.

7:22 pm

Nef

Kiani, it's like that sometimes

7:23 pm

herinfernallady

I thought the Sh seven was a derogratory word towards Jewish thus discounted it

7:23 pm

herinfernallady

I thought the Sh seven was a derogratory word towards Jewish thus discounted it

Hello Kiani!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

7:26 pm

herinfernallady

It was 2 degrees last night and we still don't have central heating just a little portable heater

7:26 pm

Kiani

Guess I don't fit the rest of you - I am still just in regular mode, not pro, so no picture for me :)

7:27 pm

herinfernallady

Kiani I was given the Pro package

7:28 pm

Nef

nope, herin. That's something I've never heard before. But then again; there's a lot of expressions that we say in this part of the world that you probably haven't heard before either. (And MN really didn't have much of a Jewish population outside the Twin Cities in the past

7:29 pm

Nef

Kiani, to go Pro, it costs about $15 one time and that's good forever. Best $$$ I ever spent

7:29 pm

hi again. I had to go and sort out DH's meds; normally I dish them up on Sunday night for the week and last night I was too tired. So this AM he tried to do them himself. Sorting them out, I found we had a couple of pills in a bottle that shouldn't have been there

9:25 pm

Minveryork

Hello Nef! How are you doing?Welcome back to the log

9:25 pm

Nef

The pharmacy changed some of the pills part way through filling the bottle; but 7 pills were wrong!

9:32 pm

LOL! Joey, I've tried to keep you in my prayers. My step mother is now 11 years since she had her breat cancer and my kid brother is 5 years in remission (step mother refuses to use that term)

9:33 pm

I am 16 years out on one side and 1 1/2 out on the other side. I am in remission - have to say it loud and clear.........

I'm lucky; I've never had a recurrance and it's been 30+ years for me too

9:36 pm

joey

good for you Nef. Glad to hear it.

9:36 pm

joey

it is amazing to me how many people are in remission/cured. It is so much more rampant than anyone knows

9:37 pm

Nef

I am lucky! I felt the lump and went and had it cut out right away. Much later I found out that both of my parents sides have breast cancer

9:38 pm

Minveryork

Phantom words for me today are pioneer and window

9:38 pm

jesdraggon

back again

9:38 pm

joey

interesting, I was the first on either side. since then, quite a few more. First time, I never felt it. Second time I felt it and was on the table less than 20 days later

9:40 pm

Nef

I agree. Of course, I also know a number of people who didn't make it. When my son was in 4th grade in a small parochial school (he had 16 classmates) we lost 4 of those 16 Moms to breast cancers that year; none of them the same type!

9:40 pm

9:41 pm

yeah. THAT wasn't a good year! :-(

9:42 pm

there were 200- 230 kids in that school; and with that small of a school and class, they were all friends.

9:44 pm

joey

how long ago was that?

9:45 pm

Nef

he's 32 now; so 24 years ago?

9:46 pm

Minveryork

I am done! I have fireworks! er6/30 was my last word

9:46 pm

It is thought provoking that I don't remember anyone mentioning the word years ago. One of my classmates in grade school in 1962 died of leukemia, that is the only instance that I can recall until much later.

9:46 pm

yay min!

9:47 pm

Nef

YAY, Min!!!! WTG!!!!

9:49 pm

I worked in a nursing home as an aid back in high school in the early '60's; I remember seeing the terrible scars that they had from breast cancer back then. They looked as though the breasts were twisted off-- terrible!

9:50 pm

Before I sign out,please check out my profile.I wrote something about my dog. Thought it went well w/pic.

9:50 pm

glad that I didn't have that opportunity. much have been awful.

9:50 pm

as a purely academic curiosity... i wonder how much the breast cancer incidence would be reduced by ovariectomy in young women...

9:51 pm

Thanks Nef!

I need to go, but does anybody need clues before I do

9:52 pm

joey

jes, I am sure that someone somewhere is studying that.

9:53 pm

Nef

Joey, when I had my surgery, I wanted them to wake me up if it was cancer so I could decide if I wanted surgery or not because of seeing those scars. I was very upset at the time that they just took the lobe; but now I'm glad that they didn't listen to me

9:54 pm

joey

I remember hearing the stories of the women who had surgery and woke up with no breasts without anyone ever telling them that that was a possiblity.

9:54 pm

Nef

I'm sure that it would make a big difference in survival rates, jes. But I think that ethically it wouldn't go over so well....

9:55 pm

joey

What do you mean that they just took a lobe?

9:55 pm

joey

Okay, on another topic - I have one left, sc 7 and can't find it. Can anyone help? Thanks

9:56 pm

jesdraggon

don't have it, joey, sorry.

9:57 pm

Nef

I had a lobectomy way back then (it was in 1978; 33 years ago now!) And it was in a "world famous medical center" and was almost experimental back then

9:57 pm

Minveryork

sc 7/36:I never understood the sc**** of outer space.

9:57 pm

Nef

Â sc7 is what you study when you take biology, geography etc.

9:58 pm

jesdraggon

thanks :)

9:58 pm

Minveryork

Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow

9:58 pm

jesdraggon

9:58 pm

10:18 pm

rolotom

Clue for the second he5 please?

10:20 pm

joey

thanks all for the help. I had to leave for a while to take care of a kitty distress call. That gave me fireworks. thanks

10:20 pm

doxy1lover

he5 - rhymes with wooden fe*** (surrounds yard.)

10:21 pm

jesdraggon

yay joey! (for fireworks, not for kitty distress)

10:21 pm

doxy1lover

wtg joey

10:21 pm

joey

thanks, kittens taken care of.

10:23 pm

Nef

YAY, joey!!! WTG!!! (I got distracted watching "Extreme Couponing on TLC!)_

10:23 pm

jesdraggon

i can't make echidna work :(

10:24 pm

Nef

jes did you get the am 6/24 yet? I just found it

10:24 pm

joey

I have never seen the show, but I have seen the trailers, I can't believe that they can get out of the store without paying anything!

10:25 pm

Nef

I just told DH that I think it is hoarding taken to a whole new level!

10:26 pm

jesdraggon

no, i moved on...but am not having any luck with er6 either.

10:27 pm

jesdraggon

i would not mind a clue :) (or, you know, a thorough beating with the clue stick...)

10:28 pm

Nef

My computer froze

10:29 pm

Nef

am + com**** is the name for business

10:29 pm

stidmama

*hugs all, happy smile at joey* home now, supper is eaten and I am here for half an hour before I collapse... LOL too much work, too little energy.

10:30 pm

Nef

hi stid. You need to slow down a bit!

10:31 pm

jesdraggon

thanks nef!

10:31 pm

stidmama

four weeks, Nef

10:31 pm

jesdraggon

hi stid :)

10:31 pm

stidmama

Four weeks and I can take every morning off, and then just show up for the "fun stuff" as I revert back to volunteer status... I LOVE teaching.

10:32 pm

Nef

er6 is what *I* would consider to be a cockney accent for listen up!

10:33 pm

stidmama

thanks for that one Nef

10:34 pm

jesdraggon

i feel slow... that doesn't make sense in my brain, sorry, nef

10:34 pm

Nef

but if you burn yourself out now, stid; it might change your attitude

10:34 pm

stidmama

jes... in this place her* + at the moment (three letter word)

10:35 pm

jesdraggon

ah, thankee

10:35 pm

stidmama

I won't burn out Nef. I recognize that this level of work is more than I will ever do when teaching except for short spurts. AND the school I am in (my neighborhood school) is wonderful to work in. I love the mentor teacher, the kids and the tasks (most of them). Just don't care for the extra paperwork and reports I must do for the Master's program

10:35 pm

Nef

great clue, stid!

10:36 pm

stidmama

*sparkles* thanks nef!

10:37 pm

jesdraggon

yay stid!

10:37 pm

stidmama

no, not sparkles for me... just for that compliment

10:38 pm

Nef

:-)

10:39 pm

jesdraggon

ah, i see

10:39 pm

stidmama

however, I am down to 73 and falling asleep. Almost ready to do that, just want to "play out" a lesson plan for next week so I can check the pacing with the regular teacher tomorrow. Math. Haven't taught a whole lesson yet, just "extra eyes" for her lessons. Always more fun (and more challenging) to do the whole thing start to finish.

10:39 pm

stidmama

**hugs and choclits for all**

sweet dreams!

*poof*

10:39 pm

jesdraggon

bye, stid

10:57 pm

rolotom

TY nef!

10:57 pm

Nef

YW. :-)

11:00 pm

jesdraggon

totally random question, apropos of nothing. anybody have an old crib mattress or other water-proof pad (chaise lounge, etc) they want to part with?

11:01 pm

Nef

sorry, jes. I don't. I give my old stuff to my sister (the vet)

11:03 pm

jesdraggon

ok

11:05 pm

Nef

is this for your vets office? If so, have you talked to either the local hospital (for their used equipment supplies) or a large child care center?

11:06 pm

jesdraggon

it is; we have several OOOOOLD dogs boarding right now, that have incontinence and arthritis issues. waterproof mattresses would be very helpful.

11:06 pm

jesdraggon

we have 1 crib mattress, but 3 dogs that could use it...

11:06 pm

Nef

My sister's sterilizer went out and I was able to get her a used one from my old hospital's used warehouse

11:07 pm

jesdraggon

there is no local large child care center. i didn't think to ask the hospital. i guess i assumed they wouldn't have disposable mattresses, just mattress covers?

11:08 pm

Nef

possibly. Or what about getting a heavy blue plastic tarp that you could use over some old rugs?

11:08 pm

jesdraggon

right now we're using heavy-duty garbage bag full of blanket

11:10 pm

jesdraggon

but it's kind of a pain. a couple more mattresses would be nice... but none of the local second hand stores have them

11:10 pm

jesdraggon

might end up having to break down and buy new ones from walmart or something.

11:11 pm

Nef

I don't think that second hand stores can sell old mattresses (we can't here, anyway)

11:11 pm

jesdraggon

they apparently can here--one of the stores had one when i checked, but it was reserved for someone else, who came and got it :(

11:12 pm

Nef

did you ask them to reserve any for you?

11:12 pm

jesdraggon

they can't do that pre-emptively, apparently.

11:12 pm

jesdraggon

i have to just keep checking back.

11:13 pm

jesdraggon

sorry, that should have been apparently canNOT (or will not)

11:14 pm

Nef

I would ask any day care Moms you might know and see if they know of any good garage shows

11:15 pm

Nef

that was garage sales, not shows (distracted by dtr)

11:16 pm

mkg

clue for the 8 plz.

11:17 pm

jesdraggon

more of sh5

11:17 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, i'm asking around, nef...so far no good bites. but i'll keep trying :)

11:18 pm

Nef

if you are out in the boonies, hit up someone in the nearest city (a student; niece, friend?) to check around for you too

11:19 pm

mkg

11:20 pm

Dang! Just looked at the time! I need to get my butt to bed!
