1:26 am
jillibus

I just wondered because she seems to have given up on icon themes
1:30 am
jillibus

not very many people have been sending in suggestions so she has been doing it on her own -- but very few are following them now so amybe she's calling it quits. Lickety used to have a link in Expert's "Resources" but dropped that a couple of years ago when Babbler gave it over to Sprite. He said he would have to rewrite the whole thing to update it. So people are unaware.

im still trying to decide if im going to my running class tonight. they moved it to a nearby lake, telling us that will make it a little less unbearable. i still think its probably a horrible idea to run tonight...
9:53 am

indeed you run for health and fun,not to have a heat stroke
9:54 am

it is 85f here and we are dying..we are not used to this..supposed to get over 90f this aft

and crossy, it is 88 here already but a break in the temps is coming - we've been 20 degrees above normal for the past several days
10:01 am

I agree Eva, it is a horrible idea to run in this kind of heat
10:03 am

I also agree, eva! (I actuallly used to run a lot - 7 miles a day - but only in the morning when it was cool)

10:05 am

i agree, it is a horrible idea. but i also dont want to skip a class, just because i dont FEEL like doing it.
im thinking i may go to the class and just walk instead...
10:05 am

<----- Considers any form of running, punishment...prefers walking
10:06 am

it is not a matter of fee like..have you ever had a heat strike? i have..you start sewating cold sweat,you get dizzy,your balance goes and you start throwing up..and you feel like crap for 2 days after
10:07 am
crosshair

feel like*
10:07 am
EvaNadine

i feel like crap for 2 days after this class regardless...heh
but thats also because, like molly, i prefer walking to running. and heck, i avoid even that when i can.

10:09 am

heat stroke is no joke; I think the idea of going to class and walking is a good one. that way you are still getting some exercise but not putting yourself at as much risk (but do be sure to take your water bottle and keep yourself hydrated!)
10:09 am
Christine

Well, 33 words in 35 minutes, but the rest are hidden. G-bye, y'all.

trentsnana

our average bill, year around, is $160 for everything. we have a geothermal system and love it. that's for 2,700 square feet of living area, too.
11:20 am
uusue2

wine cellar sounds good to me, ruru!
11:20 am
MollyL

Yes 'em Mr. Ruru. I dust up them wine bottles nice and proper fer ya.
11:21 am
uusue2

and nana, I am jealous of your geothermal! Tried to install one myself and couldn't get a permit from the city (they didn't know what it was). They've since allowed them but too late for me.
11:21 am

where do you live, uusue?
11:21 am
jmcnrick

geothermal didn't seem practical for a 1926 semidetached
11:22 am
jmcnrick

i am getting solar this summer
11:22 am
jmcnrick

half my roof will cover more than half my electric bill--but then i rarely use AC
11:22 am
trentsnana

well, we built this house a couple of years ago on 80 acres, had plenty of room and hubby insisted on it with the way oil prices were going
11:23 am
rururocks

smart hubby
11:23 am
trentsnana

solar will be nice
11:23 am
jmcnrick

jmcnrick

trentsnana

we ARE middle class, Molly
11:24 am
jmcnrick

i am content on my 1/8 acre in DC
11:24 am
trentsnana

80 acres in montana is not the same as the coasts, that's for sure
11:24 am
jmcnrick

go west young woman go west and see how the rest of the country lives
11:24 am
MollyL

<---- Needs to go find the lower class Babble Board.
11:25 am
trentsnana

I love to visit the city, but couldn't live there. some people could never live here. that's what makes the world go 'round.....
11:25 am
uusue2

nana, I live in DeKalb, IL, about 60 miles west of Chicago
11:25 am
jmcnrick

i grew up in downtown houston on a half acre--it was a small yard
11:25 am
uusue2

university town, population about 35,000
11:25 am
jmcnrick

exactly trent -- i love to visit the country but would go starkers living there
11:25 am
trentsnana

oh, ok sue. too bad they wouldn't let you put it in. it's a nice system.
11:25 am
uusue2

have a city lot about 50'x150'
11:25 am
trentsnana

a half acre in downtown houston is a lot!
11:26 am
uusue2

house is about 120 years old, worth less than I owe on it at the moment, sigh
11:26 am
jmcnrick

ru i found places in SF around $600,000 so that wine cellar must be a humdinger
11:26 am
trentsnana

in the city, they dig straight down for the geothermal systems, we have 4-200' runs, six feet deep
11:26 am
jmcnrick

oh too bad uu but if you aren't selling it you should be okay
11:27 am
uusue2

molly, my house is worth about $160k, pretty middle class I think
11:27 am
uusue2

yes, I figure i will be here until I die or maybe longer :-)
11:27 am
jmcnrick

my house is worth 500k which is middle class here
11:28 am
uusue2

but I took out some 15-year loans to fix it up so have pretty hefty payments at the moment - but they won't last that much longer
11:28 am
trentsnana

unfortunately, a lot of people are upside down on their homes
11:28 am
trentsnana

my son said DC is one of the only places in the country where home prices actually increased
11:28 am
trentsnana

Billings, Montana did, too
11:28 am
jmcnrick

i am lucky i bought so long ago--even though i have had to refi a couple of times i still have lots of rquity
11:28 am
trentsnana

that's a good position to be in jmc
11:28 am
uusue2

unfortunately it still needs a lot of work - outside is done but inside is pretty torn up (ex started a lot of projects, ran up against my credit limit, then stopped, meanwhile son started college)
11:28 am
jmcnrick

stayed flat mostly trent
11:29 am
trentsnana

better than a decrease, right?
11:29 am
jmcnrick

but a friend of mine was moving here from houston nearly fainted when he saw what his money would buy
11:29 am
jmcnrick

oh yes, flat is the new up!
11:29 am
trentsnana

so many places have lost - we sold our home in Michigan in 2006 for $400,000 - the people there now would be lucky to get $250,000 for it
11:30 am
jmcnrick

help for the A on the top row
11:30 am
uusue2

values have dropped some here I think but we are not a very active housing market anyway (and I am a full professor with tenure so won't need to move ever, probably)

and now before i head to work in this nasty heat I give you crossy,s tidbit of the day!!
11:46 am
crosshair

Kentucky Derby fans may notice that race horses never walk to the starting gate alone. Horses are social animals, and thoroughbreds sped a lot of lonely time on the road. Therefore, it is traditional to bring their stable mate, or “companion pony” along to keep them soothed.
11:46 am
GranfieldGroup

enjoy the kentucky derby
11:48 am

12:02 pm
EvaNadine

what do you need, granfield?
12:03 pm
GranfieldGroup

my class needs help
12:04 pm
EvaNadine

its a small grid, which often means they are tough. im still trudging along myself.
try putting letters together that dont seem like real words -- you will often be surprised to find out that they ARE real words.
12:05 pm
GranfieldGroup

we are doing that and we can not find any deng word
12:06 pm
GranfieldGroup

sorry we frustated with this
12:06 pm
EvaNadine

it is frustrating, i know, but keep at it.
at least we know there are no words longer than 6 letters!
12:07 pm
GranfieldGroup

can you helps get a few letters
12:07 pm
BethaneyD

jath
12:08 pm
GranfieldGroup

NO
12:08 pm
BethaneyD

Ack... Sorry. Entered in the wrong box.
12:09 pm
BethaneyD

Which specific letter would you like help with?
12:09 pm
BethaneyD

It's easier to clue when we know exactly what you are looking for.
12:10 pm
GranfieldGroup

the letter we need help is D and J
12:10 pm
Haz1558

ha4/5 - is a special kind of fog. It's almost the same as what grows on your head, but use a double helping of the same vowel.
12:11 pm
uusue2

granfield, have you read the "help" section at the top? that gives some general instructions on how to play the game and some hints for finding words.
12:12 pm
uusue2

there's a four-letter word beginning with ji that is what happens when someone leaves their boyfriend or girlfriend
12:12 pm
BethaneyD

ji 4/9 means "left at the altar"
12:12 pm
Haz1558

am4/6 - an Indian baby nurse. Make it with a plus a pork product, but backwards. Then make it plural.
12:12 pm
GranfieldGroup

we did and yet nothing happened, it didnt help us
12:12 pm
uusue2

and there is a four-letter word beginning with do that is like the periods at the end of a sentence
12:13 pm
Haz1558

ti5/12 - rhymes with a word that describes dirt - or add a consonant to the end of the leaning ti4/4.
12:13 pm
Haz1558

That ti5 can be made plural as well.
12:13 pm
Haz1558

th5/14 - th plus what comes between your hand and your shoulder.
12:13 pm
GranfieldGroup

i still cant figure it out
12:14 pm
GranfieldGroup

oh jilt?
12:14 pm
Haz1558

st5/10 and its plural st6/18 - furry animals. There's an st4/4 within the word.
12:14 pm
BethaneyD

You cannot write the actual word in the chat area though.
12:14 pm
Haz1558

sh4/6 - an Eastern ruler, like the former one in Iran.
12:14 pm
BethaneyD

So that everyone has a chance to find the word on their own.
12:15 pm
Haz1558

ot4/4 - a palindrome. Look it up if you don't understand it. It can be made plural as well.
12:15 pm
redturtlehead

Hello babblers. I hope I can finish at least this little sniggering grid!
12:16 pm
Haz1558

na4/4 - na plus the last two letters of the best known distress signal.
12:16 pm
Haz1558

You shouldn't have any problem, red.
12:16 pm
redturtlehead

I have not been finishing too many lately...but need to put some elbow grease into it.
12:17 pm
Haz1558

at5/10 - describes the leaning tower of Pisa. It is at at5/10.
12:17 pm
Haz1558

This one has a good smattering of words that have featured in grids before.
12:17 pm
uusue2

hi, red!
12:18 pm
Haz1558

And GranfieldGroup, if you want you can scroll back through the chat log for other clues by clicking on the square thing furtherst right above chat.
12:18 pm
redturtlehead

hello sue, how are you?
12:18 pm
MollyL

Her name is Sue, how do you do!
12:19 pm
uusue2

I'm good, red, just finished a book review so that will earn me $400 :-)
12:19 pm
redturtlehead

Hi Molly!
12:19 pm
redturtlehead

that is great sue!!!
12:20 pm
EvaNadine

yowza -- my Drunken Noodles are EXTRA spicy today!!
*whew!*
12:20 pm
redturtlehead

I think sue is offerring to take us all to tea....
12:20 pm
uusue2

Absolutely! Tea all around!
12:20 pm
redturtlehead

hello eva, passes some cool cucumber water to Eva!
12:20 pm
uusue2

ooh, I like spicy, eva!
12:20 pm
MollyL

Tea??? For that much coin, I want drinks. : )
12:21 pm
redturtlehead

sotto is not considered a word. Have they not all heard of sotto voice?
12:21 pm
MollyL

* Spritzes Eva with the water mister *
12:22 pm
pwinn

sotto voce is Italian
12:22 pm
uusue2

or it will pay for one of the seven credit hours that my son is taking this summer...
12:22 pm
redturtlehead

as is ciao, but it is in mny grids!!!!
12:22 pm
Haz1558

Yes, but unless you can use sotto on its own without voce, it probably can't be judged to have been assimilated into the language.
12:22 pm
MollyL

Yes it is, but Enable recognizes all kinds of foreign words.
12:22 pm
redturtlehead

but point taken, I am feeling a bit argumentative pwinn, and hello.
12:22 pm
pwinn

Hi! :-)
12:23 pm
uusue2

this is why there are lots of different dictionaries :-)
12:23 pm
uusue2

and hi, pwinn!
12:23 pm
redturtlehead

Haz does have a point as well...
12:24 pm
Haz1558

I like having valid points.
12:24 pm
EvaNadine

this dish is supposed to be spicy, but last time i got it from this place, it wasnt, so i asked for it extra spicy... and wow, it IS!
12:24 pm
pwinn

Yeah, hadn't thought of it that way, but it makes sense. "Sotto voce" is in common use, but "sotto" for under? Not so much.
12:25 pm
uusue2

maybe they have something in between regular and extra spicy, eva?
12:25 pm
redturtlehead

Indeed.
12:26 pm
EvaNadine

doubt it, sue....but hey, after eating this, maybe outside wont feel quite so hot??
12:26 pm
redturtlehead

good luck with that Evanadine!
12:26 pm
uusue2

lol, there, you go, eva! At least you will already be sweating!
12:27 pm
EvaNadine

rattling through Haz's awesome clues, but not getting the ST5-6 furry animal combo...
oh well, closer to done at least!
12:27 pm
Haz1558

st plus what you use to make ***meal.
12:29 pm
EvaNadine

ahh, TY haz!
12:29 pm
Haz1558

No problem!
12:30 pm
EvaNadine

my brain couldnt get past cornmeal at first...heh
12:32 pm
EvaNadine

how are you these days, madam hazel?
its been ages since we have chatted. :)
12:32 pm

12:32 pm
EvaNadine

good work there, molly...hehe
12:32 pm
Haz1558

I'm well and happy.
12:33 pm
uusue2

for those of us living in the corn belt, if it's not corn or soy it almost doesn't exist!
12:33 pm
EvaNadine

you had/have a wedding in the family, no?
12:33 pm
EvaNadine

sue, is the corn belt the near the bible belt?
heh
12:34 pm
uusue2

12:36 pm

Kitchen duties call - enjoy the grid!

12:36 pm
uusue2

bye, haz!
12:37 pm
pwinn

I think I've driven through there once only. I grew up left cost before ending up in Texas.
12:37 pm
uusue2

must have been a bit of culture shock, pwinn! I grew up in NJ but lived in NM and OK for a while
12:38 pm
pwinn

Sue, indeed it was. I spent a few winters in South Dakota in between. That was... not for me.
12:38 pm
pwinn

Now I'm back in a big city, though Dallas is quite a bit different from San Diego, still.
12:38 pm
uusue2

wow, South Dakota is even worse than Illinois!
12:39 pm
pwinn

Well, "worse" is all in your frame of reference, I suppose, but... I agree with you. :-)
12:39 pm
uusue2

I spent some time in Dallas in the early 1990s (before they cancelled the Supercollider)
12:39 pm
pwinn

I moved here in 1996.
12:40 pm
pwinn

Supercollider only a memory by then.
12:40 pm
uusue2

worse weather (colder winter, hotter summer). There are things I like about Illinois but the weather isn't one of them, except for occasional days.
12:40 pm
uusue2

indeed, pwinn.
12:40 pm
uusue2

I was working at CERN by then...
12:43 pm
EvaNadine

the same CERN from the dan brown book?
12:44 pm

that's the one, eva!

12:53 pm
uusue2

although they are quite sticky about the "not after midnight" thing no matter when your surgery is - I had surgery once at 4 pm and they still said nothing after midnight - that was pretty tough!
12:53 pm
mrpresident

12:54 pm

12:56 pm

12:56 pm

Berocca is fantastic!! total vitamin B dose and so helpful when having a long day... of feeling a flu coming on.
12:57 pm
mrpresident

eva... I got to court next week.... i am finding out more and more about him and his obsession... he is going to be sued
12:58 pm
uusue2

hope you are up to it, mrp!!! take care of yourself!!!!
12:58 pm
mrpresident

The DA will take one look at the case and put it before court after the 'mediation'
12:58 pm
EvaNadine

good for you.
has he at least backed off? staying away?
12:59 pm
EvaNadine

BTW, for anyone who is interested, my dad is being moved from the hospital to the nursing home today. he is expected to be there for 1-2 weeks for physical therapy/rehab -- however long it takes to get him walking again. spoke with him yesterday and he sounds much better. things are looking up!
12:59 pm
mrpresident

I have 3 things I want from mediation... an explanation as to why he took out a PVO? all lies by the way... him to pay all my lawyer bills to date... and if he has a whinge about it, I will sue him for punitive damages based on causal links to our fire.
1:00 pm
uusue2

oh, yay, eva! Glad the time will be so short!
1:00 pm
mrpresident

that is good eva! he will be taken care of well I am sure
1:01 pm
uusue2

sounds sensible, mrp!
1:01 pm
EvaNadine

sounds reasonable, MrP. especially since you are trying not to punish his family for what he has done. i think thats admirable.
1:01 pm
mrpresident

the 'prick' has backed right off since his lawyer told him he has no hope in hell, and I WILL be awarded at least $40K if he persues me
1:02 pm
EvaNadine

well, in that case, i hope he makes one last pass...lol
kidding, of course.
1:02 pm

can you pay for me?
1:23 pm
jmcnrick

uh i don't really know you yet

Perhaps a parent could pay for you Wordfun. Babble is, after all, very educational.

It is considered rude to ask others to pay for you, Word.

when people pay for other people it is because they know them and want to do something nice for them

wordfun - look at lickety's list on the links below. then ask for specific clues like "at5/10". It's hard to clue when no one knows what clues you need.

uusue2

hi, all - just got home to find that my son's psycho hopefully ex-gf has trashed his room, will be seeing about getting a restraining order, sigh
4:28 pm
rbud

woohoo, fireworks! (listless!) :D
4:28 pm
rbud

good Lord, sue, that's just wrong of her!
4:30 pm
rbud

our son's had several psycho gf's , not sure what's wrong with kids these days (now I sound old, sigh...)
4:32 pm
uusue2

yay for the firewords, rbud!!!!!!!!!!!!
4:33 pm
uusue2

and I don't know about you but I *am* old, came rather late to childbearing. And they have a long history of this kind of nonsense.
4:34 pm
MollyL

Um, Sue. This girl has a key to your house? *Gulp*
4:35 pm
uusue2

no, he lets her in (and we don't usually lock it anyway - small-town America...)
4:35 pm
uusue2

but I think we may be locking it more from now on...
4:40 pm
MollyL

This may be a complicated question, but why can't he cut the cord with her?
4:41 pm
uusue2

Good question, Molly! I think he's getting a lot closer. They've been going out for 3-4 years now, and he's 21 (she's 19) so they are still pretty young. Apparently when not insane she is smart and interesting.
4:42 pm
uusue2

I also think they have a lot of the usual abusive relationship things going on (and he is too young and too involved to recognize it) - she goes nuts, then apologies, gets all sweet, promises things will be better, they are better for a little while, then the cycle goes again.
4:43 pm
uusue2

Then she convinces him that he's the one with the problem (since she is able to get him out of control), and he is afraid that if he does anything she will retaliate.
4:45 pm
stidmama

Sue, I assume you have casually brought up with your son the cycle of abuse? I would recommend it... used to work (in another life) in a domestic violence survivor office, and distributed info to people. Men often don't realize that DV also happens to them and that it is just as deadly -- and not a sign of weakness to seek assistance.
4:47 pm
uusue2

thx, stid, I have talked to him about it a little although I think it might be more effective coming from someone who hadn't given birth to him (if you know what I mean) - my partner used to be a reporter and is also familar with the patterns.
4:48 pm
uusue2

From everything I can see she (and their relationship; I don't mean to put it all on her) exhibit classic symptoms.
4:49 pm
uusue2

ok, fireworks for me (of the puzzle kind). I am going to go have a drink, or maybe some ice cream.
4:50 pm
uusue2

sorry to clog the chog with all this nonsense...
4:50 pm
rbud

at our house, the ppattern is that (whichever) current gf makes our son mad, then he breaks a window, punches out a door, or dents up the wall of the metal shed out front, and then says "better than hitting her, right?"
4:51 pm
stidmama

yep. parents are (invariably/chronically/tragically) stupid, it seems.
4:52 pm
stidmama

#1 -- it's not nonsense, it's a serious, and progressive, issue; #2 here is a website (somewhat amateurish, but good info) for men in your son's situation. http://www.batteredmen.com/batpamph.ht
m
4:52 pm
rbud

tired of fixing screens and glass... :P
4:52 pm
MollyL

I think a lot of people forget that abuse is not just physical, it's emotional and psychological as well.
4:52 pm
stidmama

wow rbud -- at least he knows to redirect, perhaps he could take the next step and use that energy for creative, rather than destructive, things?
4:53 pm
MollyL

Rbud...I don't know about "better than hitting her". I think people that take out their aggression with their fists are prone (sooner or later) to take it out on a person.
4:54 pm
rbud

yeah, he's also in a thrash metal band (we were practice central for quite a while) lots of headbanging.
4:54 pm
stidmama

btw, if Sue comes back, I nominate "uusuium" as a name for one of the new elements... *grin*
4:55 pm
rbud

I agree, Molly, but so far so good, if you can call it good. he's 20 and acts like a spoiled little brat. been acting out since about 7th grade.
4:56 pm
rbud

just wish he'd move out, sigh... at the moment he's "living" in a motor home way back on the property, big improvement.
4:57 pm
stidmama

oh rbud... *empathetic mama hugs* we are beginning the long slog to independence here also
4:57 pm
rbud

he's had tons of counselling, anger management, rehab, some jail time... he just doesn't seem to care to learn. It *has* been better this last year, no cops involved lately.
4:59 pm
rbud

has taken to getting weird tattoos as an outlet, sigh, sooo good for job interviewing, don't you know?! :P
4:59 pm
rbud

well, time to lock up the library and go home, hugs and empathy to all! :)
5:00 pm
stidmama

that's rough. we have not, thankfully had to deal with that level of acting out, but we are worried about lack of ambition, unreasonable expectations, and such -- how to get a job when mediocre grades ought to demonstrate your genius?
5:00 pm
stidmama

later rbud, take care **more hugs**
5:01 pm
MollyL

I'm very interested in why some kids that age seem to have lots of motivation and ambition and others (many of them) seem to have none at all.
5:05 pm
uusue2

I am back, had some ice cream. Stid, I'm going to print out that pamphlet - it looks really good.
5:06 pm
stidmama

((sue)) there are many resources, trust the ones that are careful to mention that DV includes name-calling and is always progressive... it doesn't suddenly appear, and it rarely stops at insults.
5:07 pm
stidmama

no idea, Molly -- I have certainly tried to model going after one's goals (rather than sitting back and waiting for fortune to land in my lap), and we have always been open with the kids that they have to pay for their own college -- which means their grades or their jobs have to be a lot better!
5:09 pm
uusue2

I think this may be the final straw for him with her (although I have thought that before he does seem to be much more detached).
5:11 pm
sadie52

Hello :)
5:12 pm
stidmama

hey sadie -- welcome to the "moms of young men" support group... *grin*
5:12 pm
MollyL

I work with someone who has two kids 20 and 18. They have both sat around the past two summers, not working.
5:13 pm
MollyL

My kids had summer jobs from the time they were old enough to get a work permit.
5:13 pm
uusue2

hi, sadie!
5:13 pm
uusue2

I don't think my son has a job this summer (although he is taking summer classes), but he does have one during the semester.
5:14 pm
stidmama

we don't live close enough to town for those kinds of summer jobs, but the boys have never had a "free summer" -- between our 1 acre and their grandparents... and last summer the elder worked on a local small farm.
5:14 pm
uusue2

And jobs are hard to find now; unemployment among youth is much higher even than among older people.
5:15 pm
stidmama

the younger does plays all summer for the last four summers, so he is fully occupied (and happy), next year he ages out of that program and will look for work or attend summer sessions at the community college or vocational school.
5:15 pm
sadie52

hi stidmama and uusue
5:15 pm
stidmama

my condition for the children is that they are either working toward education or finding a job: while they do that, they are responsible for helping me with the house and yard as payment for room and board.
5:16 pm
suefrad625

i have decided this is a mean little grid
5:17 pm
stidmama

once i have a full-time job, I am going to spring for a very small, no-frills apartment in town for the elder son (as long as he stays in school) since he doesn't drive and there is no bus service where we live.
5:17 pm
stidmama

yes sue, it's taking forever to get through!
5:17 pm
MollyL

That is a good plan Stid. It helps your kids realize that they need to become responsible for their needs.
5:18 pm
MollyL

I'm very grateful that my youngest is in a vocational program where he is learning what things cost and how to budget.
5:20 pm
stidmama

thanks Molly -- I am hopeful eventually this will make sense to them. I worked my way through college and it was hard (and I was for a time extremely thin -- my landlady started feeding me!) but it taught me why I should go to college and get a good job.
5:22 pm
suefrad625

wierd words!!!
5:23 pm
MollyL

Ah yes. I remember a stretch of my college years when I lived on a peanut butter sandwich a day.
5:25 pm
uusue2

My first year of graduate school it was brown rice and fried whatever vegetable was on sale (often cucumbers, for some reason)
5:25 pm
stidmama

you could afford peanut butter??? gee.... LOL
5:26 pm
stidmama

okay, I give. top center A for NBT please?

5:33 pm
stidmama

well ANYTHING is better in choclit! which reminds me... I have to write a "self evaluation" before tomorrow and fill out stupid paperwork. *posts "do not disturb" sign and gets to work*


thanks for the help and the conversation!

6:47 pm
Bugsaw

got it. then you have been there for an awfully long time after telling them you were done. I am impressed by your sense of decorum!
6:47 pm
MollyL

You don't like your replacement?
6:47 pm
jmcnrick

*supposed
6:47 pm
jmcnrick

i wanted them to have time to find someone and for her to have time to settle in
6:48 pm
jmcnrick

(and I wanted time to look for a job)
6:48 pm
jmcnrick

let's just say we have very contrasting personalities
6:48 pm
Bugsaw

jmc, how can people get more of those lovely reversible jackets from Africa that you sold me? Is there a website people can visit?
6:48 pm
jmcnrick

i still think she was a good choice for the Center
6:49 pm
jmcnrick

if you come to grinnell the first week of july or to wilmingham oh the last week in july. . . :-)
6:49 pm
jmcnrick

do you want me to buy one for you and ship it? I could do that.
6:50 pm
Bugsaw

ok but how do I pick the fabric I want? you should post pictures in your icon and do business here lol
6:50 pm
jmcnrick

help with the bottom T in the third row
6:51 pm
Bugsaw

th 5, 14
6:51 pm
jmcnrick

:-) I could take a bunch of photos when i get to grinnel--actually i still have a couple in my car
6:52 pm
jmcnrick

ty
6:52 pm
Bugsaw

pictures would work better for me than having a huge plane bill on top of the price for the jacket...... ;)
6:52 pm
jmcnrick

maybe i could skype from the store at the meeting in grinnell
6:53 pm
jmcnrick

okay how about the o in the second column for nbt?
6:53 pm
Bugsaw

6:54 pm
Bugsaw

a boy's name and a grain
6:54 pm
jmcnrick

6:56 pm
jmcnrick

ty FINALLY nbt
6:56 pm
Bugsaw

wouldn't that be so nice to hav an extra $50,000 just lying around....
6:56 pm
jmcnrick

:-D it would be a charitable deduction
6:57 pm
jmcnrick

*sigh* well it was worth a try
6:57 pm
jmcnrick

the boy's name and pl comes from the other O
6:58 pm

interesting - I clicked on the ih word to find its definition (worn by male Muslims on their pilgrimage to Mecca) and one of the ads above was "9 Dangerous Mistakes Women Make That Men

9:52 pm
Minveryork

It was easy to to 4/4 with the grid today. I just said my ooh and aa 4/5 as I watched my fireworks.So now here is a story of clues.Before I met my hubby I went out with someone who ji4/9ed me at the altar. When I realized he wasn't coming to our wedding, I wanted to ha4/5.I was so embarrassed!I saw all of my guests who were dressed to the hi 4/5, looking at me sadly. After that day, my father wanted to do ha 4/6 to my ex-boyfriend. I told him it was not worth it. I did not care for my ex-boyfriend one io 4/4 anymore. I made an oa 4/5 to enver enter another relationship again. Looking back now,I'm glad we never got married.The marriage would've been a sh4/5.Probably would have ended up to 4/4ing my ex-fiance out onto the street anyway. Although my marriage now is not in the best st4/4e at this time,I'm glad I'm married to my hubby. Husband wants computer. I'm going to st5/12 up and go no4/5 on a snack. Goodnight to my fellow babblers
