12:24 am

negativeneil

Tried to tell you last night, ru... MB made a real blunder. When doesn't she though, yeah yeah... but this? Man. She needs to go back to school. Check last night's.

12:24 am

melonheadjujube

or ativeneil

12:24 am

negativeneil

Hi cosdem.

12:25 am

negativeneil

Haha, just "Neil" is fine, melon. I'm just not sure what you prefer to go by?

12:25 am

cosdem

MB as in bachmann i assume.. she makes massive blunders all the time but the biggest f'up was made by romney

12:25 am

melonheadjujube

anything is fine, most, use just melon.

12:25 am

cosdem

"let foreclosures continure" - mitt romney.

12:26 am

melonheadjujube

I sat out the debate, my BS calibrator hit TILT long ago.

12:26 am

negativeneil

Exactly, cosdem. At risk of more critism, check my updates on profile for her blunder during last night's debate. I just about fell off my chair. Uh, you'll see what I'm referring to.

12:27 am

cosdem

ok ill look now

12:27 am

cosdem

but fyi ive finally settled on a candidate to vote for.. phew

12:27 am

negativeneil

Yep, melon. I paraphrase all the participants... because someone has to post what they're really saying.

12:27 am

rururocks

you do it well neil..really well

12:28 am

cosdem

my fave part? BROTHA!

12:28 am

negativeneil

It's at 6:46 PM, if that's helpful?

12:28 am

melonheadjujube

I'm just so sick of them appending "job-killing" to any program they don't like irrespective of facts

12:28 am

negativeneil

Well thanks, ru... glad someone appreciates it.

12:28 am

negativeneil

Here, that is. Many do... elsewhere.

12:28 am

cosdem

omg lol i misseed that neil.. wow.. what a dingbat

12:29 am

negativeneil

No kidding, melon.

12:29 am

melonheadjujube

where do I go to see these paraphrases. oh, hell I'll take three ;) (sorry!)

12:29 am

negativeneil

Yeah, no kidding huh? Couldn't believe it!

12:29 am

rururocks

rick perry seems desperate to me

12:29 am

cosdem

i just signed up for the jill stein campaign

12:29 am

cosdem

rick perry is finished.

12:29 am

negativeneil

I mean come on... when you're running for office, you should be educated enough about the rest of the world to know some simple, basic GEOGRAPHY?

12:29 am

cosdem

it'll be romney v. obama

12:29 am

negativeneil

I think so, cos.

12:29 am

negativeneil

Yep.

12:30 am

negativeneil

Well I don't think so... I'm sure of it.

12:30 am

cosdem

its romney's "turn" -- thats how the GOP nominating process works anyway

12:30 am

negativeneil

I have an old blog reposted you two would probably enjoy, ruru and cosdem.

12:31 am

cosdem

ok ill read where?

12:31 am

negativeneil

From my grad-student internship in Washington, D.C. in the spring of 2007.

12:31 am

cybernan

I don't understand why everyone down there is campaigning already -- what could they possibly take a year to say that they can't say in 4 or 5 weeks? ... and the billions wasted on the campaigns is a crime

12:31 am

negativeneil

I'll send you the link... don't want to post it here. But if any of you want it (besides you and ru, whose email addresses I already have), email me at the address on profile.

12:31 am

cosdem

nan -- the first primary is in Jan.

12:32 am

cybernan

ridiculous!

12:32 am

cosdem

possibly december if bill gardner wants to act like a baby

12:33 am

negativeneil

I'm just sending it now, ru and cos.

12:33 am

rururocks

haz said the same thing nan.. and I agree with her.. all this money every four years is just plain stupid

12:33 am

melonheadjujube

sheesh, for all the Os Es and Rs, I can't make terrier, tenor, nitro, nitre...

12:33 am

cosdem

whats even more ridiculous is there's already been EIGHT presidential debates

12:33 am

cosdem

thansk neil

12:33 am

rururocks

well cos.. that is 7 really one is newt just debating himself

12:34 am

cosdem

lol ruru..

12:34 am

cosdem

newt actually waddles when he walks. its hilarious

12:34 am

melonheadjujube

I think these debates are bogus, just a way for the GOP to get lots of airtime without saying anything. And to think I was told nature abhors a vacuum.

12:34 am

cosdem

i loved that blog that alan grayson wrote.. he said he met newt and said he was fat right to his face

12:34 am

negativeneil

Pl. ot

12:35 am

negativeneil

Ok, it's sent guys.

12:35 am

melonheadjujube

another phantom: torrid

12:35 am

cosdem

woohoo i typed in a typo and it ended up being a word

12:35 am

negativeneil

It was in my website, until that got hacked last year and the hacker wiped it all out on me... deleted everything. Fortunately I'd saved all my source codes to my blogs... so I've finally gotten around to re-posting that one and the rest will follow soon.

12:36 am

pigeonman

Is it too early to clue? I have 2 left and I'm catching a plane in two hours.

12:36 am

negativeneil

Leave your comments if you're moved to make any, by all means. ;)

12:36 am

cosdem

12:36 am

cybernan

12:36 am

negativeneil

What do you need, pigeonman?

12:37 am

cybernan

* 2 months or between 50 and 60 days

12:37 am

pigeonman

If it's ok, I need the de8 and the or6.

12:37 am

negativeneil

With a grid this small, I don't think this is too early at all.

12:37 am

cosdem

de 8 is more of the de7

12:37 am

negativeneil

de8,45 -- your backside.

12:37 am

Ok, melon.

pigeonman

12:38 am

negativeneil

And of course I was, cosdem... I'm usually sarcastic/facetious. :P

12:38 am

negativeneil

Oh, I see.

12:38 am

melonheadjujube

I'm going to peek @ lickety, curious re: stats.

pigeonman

12:38 am

12:38 am

12:41 am

negativeneil

I didn't get an email from you, melon?

12:42 am

melonheadjujube

that was the 1st word I tried, which makes me a bigger ass I suppose.

12:42 am

negativeneil

Maybe I'd better log into my Hotmail on the web, could be in the spam folder... ugh.

12:42 am

negativeneil

I POP my Hotmail into my Gmail.

12:42 am

melonheadjujube

I'll post my email to my profile.

12:43 am

cosdem

12:43 am

12:46 am

SamanthaJoy

Joey, when someone stars out letters like that, it means that they're using a very common word and they're asking you to fill in the blanks with the letters

12:46 am

melonheadjujube

neil, email addy is on my profile

12:47 am

joey

12:47 am

melonheadjujube

12:47 am

ursh

Haha, melon. I just might... you never know. ;)

cosdem

Perfect first name to go with a surname like that, too.

1:26 am

obewan punobe

stuck on one stupid word

1:26 am

negativeneil

That's a personal decision, cosdem... entirely up to you. I can see why you'd do that and I'm still a little undecided, except that I know how I won't be voting... needless to say.

1:27 am

obewan punobe

I figured you for a Bachman supporter neil

1:27 am

cosdem

jillibus

negativeneil

Oh of course. Not that I expect her to!

1:27 am

negativeneil

You have got to be kidding, obewan?

1:28 am

obewan punobe

1:28 am

negativeneil

obewan punobe

all of the republicans are idiots.. is this the best that they can do?

1:28 am

negativeneil

I'm not happy about that either, cosdem. Not by a long shot. I'm unhappy for more reasons that that, too.

1:28 am

obewan punobe

<---looking for an Obaba-Oprah ticket

1:29 am

cosdem

oh theres plently more reasons im unhappy with Obama too but his lack of spine and his decision to pretty much give the reins to Eric Cantor is too much for me to accept

1:29 am

obewan punobe

Mitt Romney looks like he has just sold you a new Mercedes.. he is so slick

1:30 am

obewan punobe

Obama has no backbone..it's very disappointing

Was just on the phone to the pediatrician's office...again.

8:18 am

uusue2

8:18 am

car.eeyore

Due to my lovely virus, Zack now had fifths disease.

Hiya everyone

8:20 am

car.eeyore

It is just a cold / virus with a rash.

8:20 am

car.eeyore

Hi mm!

8:21 am

movieman

Just heard that Col. Gaddafi is dead

8:21 am

uusue2

I googled it, sounds annoying but not dangerous, and it also sounds like they can't do anything about it (and by the time the rash appears he's no longer contagious)

8:21 am

car.eeyore

He died, eh? New he had been captured.

8:21 am

uusue2

hi, hego and movieman!

8:22 am

uusue2

and movieman, have they confirmed that? I'd heard that he'd been wounded (supposedly) but nothing had been confirmed for sure.

8:22 am

hego

this grid looks weird

8:24 am

hego

Last I heard he was dead

8:24 am

uusue2

eeeeee, hego! (that's how many e's are in a row)

8:24 am

I'm feeling autumnal today

8:32 am

well, our weather is certainly autumnal! 43 degrees, raining, and VERY windy.

8:33 am

hego

we got 61 and partly cloudy. Not bad.

8:34 am

uusue2

well, I must get out in it now - I am determined not to let the weather get in the way of walking to work. As someone said, there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes.

8:34 am

uusue2

So I am putting on my warm coat and gloves, and off I go!

8:34 am

hego

Must have been English. lol

8:34 am

Does anyone see the halloween Bihon?

9:28 am

*Bichon

9:28 am

Uneaixoise

i do, bichon!! :-)

9:29 am

wvteach

I see the flower with black around the edge

9:30 am

bichon

No it should have a white dog in it with a Halloween theme

9:30 am

bichon

okay, there it is

9:31 am

wvteach

still seeing only the flower

9:31 am

bichon

hmm wv, cause I see it. It has two Bichons with some pumpkins

9:32 am

wvteach

I needed to refresh my screen - now I see it

9:33 am

bichon

good, I've had the Japanese iris since the spring

9:33 am

Gail

I like the halloween icon, very cute.

9:34 am

bichon

I love Bichon themes, as you can see

9:35 am

Uneaixoise

official word finally . . . Gaddafi was killed this morning in his hometown

9:35 am

Gail

And I like border collie themes!

9:35 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

9:36 am

bichon

Gail have you taught your BC tricks?

9:36 am

Gail

He has taught himself a few.

9:36 am

Uneaixoise

aaawww they're such smart dogs!

9:36 am

Habes

Morning folks

9:36 am

Uneaixoise

morning, habes

9:37 am

bichon

The only tricks mine know are to get up on their hind legs if we hold cheese in our hands

9:37 am

Uneaixoise

aaahhh, yes, cheese, the ultimate canine tempter!! LOL

9:38 am

Gail

He comes to work with me and plays with people all day long. I work for a doctor.

9:38 am

Uneaixoise

oh, how wonderful, gail!

9:39 am

Mr Bob

Morning all

9:39 am

Gail

They love him, it's a psychiatrist's office.

9:39 am

Uneaixoise

howdy, mr bo

9:39 am

bichon

Gail, that sounds wonderful. I wish I could bring mine someplace they'd make someone happy

9:39 am

Gail

Good morning, I love the ghost dog!

9:40 am

Gail

They would make people happy!

9:41 am

bichon

Yes, but male Bichons tend to mark. I would want that to happen

9:41 am

9:41 am

Gail

Oh, dear. No. that would be bad.

9:42 am

Gail

Quid offers everybody a toy to play with.

9:45 am

bichon

At home they wear belly bands

9:47 am

Gail

I just have to be sure he doesn't play too roughly, but he's pretty good about it.

9:47 am

bichon

BC's also do agility

9:47 am

Gail

A rousing game of fetch makes people laugh when they come in feeling down. Then some snuggles to finish up.

9:48 am

bichon

and what do they need the psychiatrist for?

9:48 am

Gail

He's a rescue, so I don't know his past. He is a better cure than the doctor is some days!

9:49 am

bichon

Mine are rescues too. I don't know their past, but they do have baggage

9:50 am

Gail

Quid is much happier than my last rescue BC. She was very scared and timid. But sweet. She came to work with me for 8 years.

9:51 am

bichon

Mine are fine except in certain circumstances. They are very afraid of other dogs and of riding in the car

9:51 am

Gail

Poor little guys. Glad they have a good safe home now.

9:52 am

Hi Ruby

12:19 pm

The third letter connects to the fourth letter in the second column/second row. That goes diagonally to the last letter

12:20 pm

hego

okay, let me look. And ty

12:21 pm

MollyL

You go diagonally to the second letter, vertically to the third letter, sideways to the fourth letter and diagonally to the last letter.

It's my husband's third time with cancer. This time it's incurable, but we're ok. He's not even 45 yet so it's kind of lonely thing sometimes.

1:52 pm

westford

1:52 pm

westford

1:52 pm

Kizah

Anyway...didn't come on here to talk cancer! Anyone need more clues?

1:54 pm

Soodle

Your email address (as in your profile, Kiz) is well deserved! ((((More hugs))))

1:55 pm

majmom

thanks nef never would have found that one- some weird words today

2:48 pm

Nef

I agree! :-)

2:49 pm

Nef

hey, maj; have you been playing long? I've seen you a couple of times in the past 2-3 weeks

2:52 pm

majmom

i used to play and stopped as i guess i really didn`t have time -retired from nursing now so lots more time

2:52 pm

Nef

(I'm encouraging joining up!) ;-)

2:55 pm

Judi

I'll second that, majmom. (Nef needs all the help she can get!) :-p

2:57 pm

Nef

Retired nurse!!!?? ME too!! I just retired as of 9/2/11; retired for family reasons and now DH's Aunty died. I'm just getting back to some semblance of normal

2:59 pm

majmom

i retired about 2 years ago-did casual for about 9 months and then said enough surgery was getting too fast paced for me

3:01 pm

uusue2

hi, all!

3:01 pm

uusue2

well, I am in a bit of a pickle

3:01 pm

uusue2

I agreed to be on a university committee that evaluates dissertations (PhD) and theses (MS), to pick the best one

3:01 pm

uusue2

they sent us the information earlier this week

3:02 pm

Nef

I worked 34 years in ICU. Absolutely loved it but had an OTJ foot injury and 3 surgeries later I couldn't work in the hospital any more. Tried Telephone triage (HATED it!) and spent the past 3 years as a NM for a prenatal clinic in a small pregnancy resource center

3:02 pm

uusue2

I figured we should read the abstract and the letters of recommendation

3:02 pm

Nef

uh-oh. What's the catch, sue?

3:02 pm

uusue2

turns out they want us to read the ENTIRE THING!!!

3:02 pm

uusue2

so I have 7 dissertations and 4 theses to read by Monday. About 2000+ pages.

3:03 pm

uusue2

So I won't be around much :-)

3:03 pm

Nef

Good Grief! When will you find enough hours in the day??!

3:03 pm

Judi

Yoiks, sue. That sounds like a lot of potentially very boring reading.

3:03 pm

Nef

By MONDAY??? Yikes!!!

3:04 pm

Nef

Did you ever take speed reading classes?

3:05 pm

majmom

i put in 37 years on very busy surgery floors - did a stint in pediatrics when i graduated until i started my own family.

3:06 pm

uusue2

I read really fast, nef, even without the speed reading, so it's doable, I just won't have time for much else

3:06 pm

uusue2

especially as my weekend is already full with things I can't get out of

3:06 pm

uusue2

so - see you all Monday evening!

3:06 pm

uusue2

I'll probably do my icons each morning and say hi but that will be about it.

3:08 pm

Nef

I started out in NewBorn nursery; helped set up one of the first NICU's in ND; worked as a county health nurse for 3 years in an outstate area; moved to the "big city" and did agency nursing and private duty before I "fell into" ICU

3:09 pm

Nef

We will miss you sue! Hurry up and read really really fast with good comprehension

3:10 pm

Nef

Are the thesises in your field? I would think that would be helpful...

3:14 pm

uusue2

nope, one in biolog,y one in chemistry, and one in engineering but the others are english, literature, education, history, political science...each department can only nominate one.

3:14 pm

uusue2

right now I am on this one (excuse caps, that's how they are): A THIRD WAY TO CHANGE: VIOLENCE AGAINST WHITES IN AFRICAN AMERICAN NOVELS FROM THE 1970S

3:15 pm

Judi

Nominate for what?

3:16 pm

Nef

That's the title? What are the first 2 ways??? (I don't like that title!)

3:17 pm

uusue2

for the best thesis/dissertation award

3:17 pm

Judi

Ah. So, this is a once a year/graduation thing?

3:17 pm

uusue2

and yes, that's the title, I'm on page 128 of 250, and will explain it later (like Monday) if people are curious :-)

3:18 pm

uusue2

right, Judi, and the ones we nominate go to a regional competition of graduate theses and dissertations from all over the midwest

3:18 pm

Judi

Ah ha.

3:21 pm

Judi

I"m in a bit of a pickle too. I just realized this a.m. that the diamond fell out of my ring. God only knows where it could be. Although, I suspect it came out when they removed the tape from my rignts after my surgery on 10/11.

3:21 pm

Judi

*rings*

3:21 pm

car.eeyore

uh oh Judi! That stinks!

3:22 pm

Nef

Is it as dry as it sounds sue?

3:22 pm

Nef

Oh, no, Judi! Now what?

3:23 pm

Nef

Was your ring insured?

3:24 pm

Nef

Could the stone be missing for 10 days without you noticing?

3:24 pm

Judi

I'm not really sure if the diamond was still in it after I left the surgery center or not. I just felt it snag on something this a.m. and I looked down. *GASP!* Looking at homewoners insurance policy now to figure out if it could be considered any kind of loss.

3:25 pm

car.eeyore

It usually is covered.

3:25 pm

Judi

I guess the stone could have been gone that long, Nef. Those rings are just part of my anatomy now. I know they're there, but I hardly ever look at them.

3:26 pm

Judi

I feel terrible. It was my MIL's diamond. Hubby had it reset for my engagement ring.

3:26 pm

Nef

Surely it would have snagged on something before that if it's been gone that long.. I'd be ripping the bed apart and crawling on the floors with a flashlight, etc. if that was me

3:26 pm

uusue2

actually it is not dry at all, Nef, makes me want to go read the books he talks about (only one I've read is Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon)

3:26 pm

uusue2

and Judi, that is awful!!!! I hope it turns up somehow!!!

3:26 pm

uusue2

back to reading

3:27 pm

car.eeyore

It would have the same effect on me uusue...I would want to read the other books mentioned.

3:27 pm

car.eeyore

Good luck. Hang in there!

3:27 pm

Nef

sue, that really helps if it isn't boring!

3:27 pm

Judi

I already tore the bed apart, Nef. I'm still hobbled from my surgery, so I can't crawl around on the floor like I want to.

3:28 pm

Nef

what did you have done? (Sorry, I missed the fact you had surgery before this)

3:29 pm

Judi

I had an IT band lengthening in my right hip. 6" scar w/13 staples. Still sore as hell. I did sweep the kitchen floor. I hate to put a claim into the surgery center since I have no proof that's when the diamond went missing.

3:30 pm

Judi

I plan on having hubby vaccum. Then I will sift through the vac bag to see if anything appears. We have not vaccumed since my surgery, so there is hope it's just buried in the carpet somewhere.

3:31 pm

majmom

fireworks -better go make supper

3:31 pm

car.eeyore

Congratulations!

3:31 pm

Nef

I'm so hoping you find it! My daughter lost an opal out of her ring recently. I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night and thought I'd stepped on a pebble (not knowing she'd lost the stone); when she told me about it aI told her I felt something during the night and sure enough; the opal was lying in the grout lines of the tiled BR floor

3:31 pm

Judi

It is a small diamond (1/4 carat), so, it could have gone out the door stuck to the bottom of a shoe by now, etc. etc.

3:32 pm

car.eeyore

I hope you find it Judi.

3:32 pm

Judi

Very lucky you found that opal, Nef. And lucky it wasn't crushed when you stepped on it. Opals are on the soft side.

3:33 pm

Nef

Judi, if you have a cannister vacuum, pulla nylon over the hose and go over the floor wit it. It will pick up dirt; but a diamond (and bigger stuff) will be caught in the nylon

3:34 pm

Nef

I know! I'm just hoping and praying you will be lucky too!

3:34 pm

Nef

Belated Congrats on FW maj! WTG!!!

3:35 pm

snags

Nef, good idea

3:35 pm

Judi

Do have a cannister vac. It has a hepa filter. We have so much dog and cat hair, I'm afraid the nylon would just cause the hose to clog up.

3:36 pm

Nef

fur will go through the nylonn (unless it's in clumps

3:37 pm

Nef

brb; phone call

3:38 pm

Judi

Will stick with my plan to sift the vac contents. If nothing is found, I will call the insurance co. and discuss options with them. I'm afraid of how little they'd offer me as a settlement. Time will tell.

3:39 pm

Nef

Had you ever had it appraised?

3:39 pm

Judi

It is an older diamond - probably purchased in the mid - 1930's to early 1940's. Wonder if that makes it worth more?

3:40 pm

Judi

Never appraised, Nef. Hubby never paid for the diamond, just to have it re-set.

3:41 pm

Judi

And - that was 26 1/2 years ago, so no paperwork remaining for that either.

3:42 pm

car.eeyore

4:02 pm

car.eeyore

Hi jmc!

4:02 pm

Nef

Sorry, that phone call lasted longer than I expected. Judi, a stone from the 30's or 40's may be worth more today; the itty bitty stones in DH's and my rings (from the 70's) were worth 10 times over what we paid for them. (We had DH's ring re-sized last Nov. after he'd lost it 3 times and found it each time!

4:02 pm

Judi

Ty, car.

4:03 pm

jmcnrick

*wonders where else a rock would be from*

4:03 pm

Judi

Well, that's good news, nef. I know I had the prongs replaced with platinum about 10 years ago. Supposed to "last forever". Bullsnot. Upon closer inspection of the prongs, it looks like two are broken. GRRRRR.

4:03 pm

4:07 pm

4:44 pm

BzznBea

It never fails, I ask for a clue and then find it.

4:45 pm

Soodle

Hi again everybody :-). Jmc - sorry to hear you are still in the horrors with the house.

4:53 pm

MollyL

Hi Soodle.

4:54 pm

Soodle

Hey Molly :-). A happier Soodle you are unlikely to ever see again :-)!!

4:54 pm

LeslieAnn

ohhhh why?

4:56 pm

Soodle

Oh LA, my brother was (falsely) diagnosed with stomach cancer yesterday. The histology tests today revealed that whatever is wrong with him is not cancer. I have been doing the happy dance all day :-)

4:56 pm

LeslieAnn

OH MY. that is terrible then wonderful!

4:56 pm

Soodle

In a nutshell!!!

4:56 pm

LeslieAnn

you would think they'd double-check before giving a diagnosis like that

4:57 pm

Soodle

And maybe it was the kick in the ass that our family needed to re-evaluate what is actually important in this life!

4:58 pm

LeslieAnn

wow what a whirlwind 24 hours

4:59 pm

Soodle

Indeed! But a great many prayers have been answered! (No athiests in fox-holes & all that....)!

5:00 pm

MollyL

Kind of a harsh wake up call Soodle. I'm just glad the news is not as bad as you thought.

5:01 pm

Soodle

So true Molly.

5:02 pm

suefrad625

I pray they find the answer for you soodle

5:02 pm

5:03 pm

suefrad625

5:03 pm

Soodle

Thats a very nasty condition, Sue. My MIL suffered from it.

5:03 pm

Soodle

Woo-Hoo Sue. And long may you remain clean as a whistle!!

5:04 pm

MollyL

*Sigh* My girlie in law is back in the hospital with complications of her Chrone's disease. Nothing too serious, this is getting old though.

5:05 pm

Soodle

Oh Chrones is horrible as well, Molls. The poor girl. My heart goes out to her.

5:08 pm

Soodle

Seriously, until I, or somebody close to me is touched by illness, I never ever acknowledge how bloomin' lucky I am to be healthy and reasonably content. Shame on me.

6:27 pm

Minveryork

Here's a story of clues for those who ne 4/5 it. I was ir 4/5 yesterday when I was stuck in traffic. No 4/4 of the drivers who live near me seem to know how to drive in the rainy weather. They can drive fine in dr 5/12 weather, but once it starts raining they forget how to drive. My car sat in5/10 on the street for 30 minutes because an idiot driver hit a tr4/4. It seems that drivers are unable to drive in an or7/40 fashion in the rain. I was in a bad mood as I ro 4/5 in my car to work.I'm going to get off my de8/45 and go watch the DeNiro film The De4/5 Hunter. I did not edit this story. I might have er5/12 and made some spelling er 5/10s. I'll be back later on to finish and help w/clues.

6:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

that was helpful- lot's of fish.

6:33 pm

Kaplan the Magne

"Where is Maggie's baby?"

6:33 pm

6:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The baby was from one of the missing eggs.

6:34 pm

LeslieAnn

ahhh

6:34 pm

LeslieAnn

6:34 pm

LeslieAnn

*thickens

6:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

If they find where the eggs were, maybe they could find Maggie's baby.

6:35 pm

LeslieAnn

ok your story is much funnier if we're talking about ovary eggs.

6:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Who is at least 35 by now.

6:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We are talking about ovary eggs.

It's been a crazy week and nothing de-stresses me like a really bad soap opera.

6:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

This is what your therapist does after a whole day of seeing people...

6:40 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Not that you are driving your therapist crazy or anythng...

6:41 pm

Kaplan the Magne

And God forbid your therapist is mentally unstable or anything like that...
