jilli, the Post Polio Syndrome is just the pits. I went through my life as if nothing was wrong with me. And about 10 years ago I started losing strength and was tired way to often.....didn't pay a lot of attention to it until a doctor said I had this PPS. I rushed to puter and read up on it. It seems that in the first go-round the virus sort of "fried" parts of our brains.....and not to write a tome here, I'm still getting around.....hard to bring a good woman down.

Lickety`s babble clues show a serious viral attack in mozilla firefox.
4:28 am
mrpresident
yep, it does in google as well, it is a trusted and tried exe from a reliable source
4:28 am
mrpresident
ask around babble if you like ron, before installing :)
4:33 am
roncook
i`ve got it up and running thank you.
4:33 am
mrpresident
i have been trying to work out why it says that in google and firefox... just don't know. there is no virus in the program and it works well :)
4:33 am
mrpresident
you're very welcome ron. enjoy it!
4:35 am
roncook
i initially was informed lickety was down due to web page fund not renewed,then the virus warning comes up each time i try and log in.
4:35 am
mrpresident
have you been able to log in?
4:36 am
roncook
i have just retried it and it now works okay ..veerrrry strange.
4:36 am
mrpresident
i paid for the page earlier in the week... darn message
4:37 am
mrpresident
use 'lickety add' button... you can resize it and move it to suit you... if you add one word and enter, it will go to the list and to babble... if you add more than one word... it recognises it as a message and will add to the chat log
4:38 am
mrpresident
if the word is in the grid, you will get a green flash background in lickety add.
4:39 am
mrpresident
don't add a real word, and you get a red flash
if it is a word already entered, it is an orange flash
4:39 am
roncook
i hope your not paying latvians as they cloned my c/c last year after a payment to a "USA" website.luckily they could`nt break my password.
4:39 am
mrpresident
oh that sucks ron!! so so sorry! i hope your bank sorted them out!
4:39 am
mrpresident
my passwords are so obscure, good luck to any latvian!
4:41 am
roncook
yes they did but i was stuck in california for a month with no way to pay and my bank would only give me $2k in cash ,we had a frugal vacation.
4:42 am
mrpresident
once you have resized and moved 'lickety add', click on
Hide 'Add' Thin
4:42 am
mrpresident
you will have a dialog box and word enter box all in one. any words you add from the grid will go to both clues list and babble
4:43 am
mrpresident
oh ron!! i am sorry that happened... hate rip offs. it happens to too many nice people
4:44 am
roncook
ok mr p will sort that out thanks again.
4:47 am

7:56 am

i go early to beat the crowds and the feeders.
7:56 am
welki
i usually go on sunday (no time during the week)
7:56 am
lbdawger
i'm not much for shopping of any kind either, welki.
7:57 am
welki
makes me wonder how it is i spend so much money if i'm never shopping?
7:57 am
Mom
<---- I should be a personal shopper for the two of you
7:57 am
lbdawger
I would love that, Mom!
7:57 am

you'll need lots of airmiles, mom .. we're both more than a thousand miles away! *lol*

7:58 am

Hubz is the clothes horse, me...i guess it would be books.
7:59 am
lbdawger
clean house? my rule is. You touch it, You dust it!
7:59 am
lbdawger
:-( finished.
8:00 am
welki
ohhh, that would just be a way to ensure that the dust is evenly distributed here, dawg ... we'd touch nothing! LOLOL
8:00 am
Book Doctor Gwen
finished the grid??
8:00 am
Book Doctor Gwen
BOOKS? <perk>
8:00 am
welki
it is a tiny grid, dawg ... thinking i should save some for later
8:01 am
lbdawger
yup! i have a lot of books. nothing worthy of a collector tho
8:01 am
Book Doctor Gwen
if you need any more, my bookstore is having a sale right now (details here: www.gwenfoss.com ) 8-)
8:01 am
lbdawger
i'll check it out, gwen.
8:02 am
welki
i have old books, gwen, and i'd like to sell them (because my children are not interested in them) .. but it's my understanding that very few books are worth more than sentimental value if no one is looking for them
8:03 am
Book Doctor Gwen
welki, that's about it. i have one old wreck i keep around to show people that "old don't matter" in books
8:04 am
lbdawger
that's so true, whilst going thru my dad's stuff; i found a lot of old books. not worth anything to anyone else but him. Libraries didn't want them either. :-(
8:04 am
welki
so what do i do with books that are nearly 200 years old and in good condition? just donate them?
8:04 am
Book Doctor Gwen
i go through lotta books, donate a lot. libraries and charities get my castoffs
8:05 am
Uneaixoise
Have wonderful OLD books from my mom's childhood (1920s) that no one's very interested in but moi . . .
8:05 am
Uneaixoise
200 yrs old? wow, welki!
8:05 am
lbdawger
hi unea!
8:05 am
Uneaixoise
hey, dawg :-)
8:05 am
welki
i think the oldest one i have is from 1811
8:05 am
Book Doctor Gwen
if they are truly in good condition, that's a plus. but if they are books no one wants to read (example: novels by a "nobldy") then no one will buy them
8:05 am
welki
ohh ... that would make it 200! happy birthday!
8:06 am
Book Doctor Gwen
("nobody" i meant)
8:06 am
Uneaixoise
welki, that's amazing
8:06 am
Book Doctor Gwen
welki, can you tell me iwf they're novels, elementary school books, or what?
8:06 am
lbdawger
maybe put them up on ebay, welki
8:08 am
Book Doctor Gwen
if you have any history or songbooks, i might be interested to buy them . . .
8:09 am
Book Doctor Gwen
hmmm, she must be getting them out . . .
8:09 am
welki
i just ran and picked four random books .. william cullen bryant, a flood of years, 1878, very good condition
8:10 am
JBV
hi welki - I just had an idea - all this takes work, of course - my sister went to William Cullen Bryant H.S. (in Queens) - I bet there are a bunch of them out there - maybe they would like a copy an original....
8:10 am
Book Doctor Gwen
bryant, sorry, you won't be able to sell, unless there is something very special about it (signed, for example)
8:11 am
welki
yep, i was .. these aren't as old, leather bound complete shakespeare and two leather bound volumes of works of wilde and dumas, 1926 and 1927 *figures i picked 'new' ones)
8:11 am
JBV
not to sell, I mean, but to at least to give to someone who may appreciate it
8:11 am
welki
jbv, that's a great idea!
8:11 am
welki
hang on, grabbing a couple more
8:13 am
Book Doctor Gwen
for the wilde and dumas, condition needs to be very good, and if they have anything extra (very nice illustrations, or annotations, or something) then you have a chance to sell them
8:13 am
welki
a suede bound emerson, 1900
8:14 am
welki
condition on the leather/suede, i would consider fair (for the covers, good for the pages and illustrations)
8:14 am
Book Doctor Gwen
welki, sorry, no on the emerson.
8:14 am
lbdawger
going to go scrounge for brekkies. bbl
8:14 am
welki
and, for fun, newer, but two walt kellys ... pogo, stepmother goose and the glob :)
8:14 am
Book Doctor Gwen
around 1900 they published millions of those suede-bound poetry books. no one wants them, sorry
8:15 am
welki
good to know, gwen, don't be sorry ... i won't feel too badly about giving them away ... maybe i can find some poetry/lit students or professors who might like them
8:16 am
Book Doctor Gwen
pogo and mother goose, now, there are collectors for those, but any defects will lower their potential price (like scribbles or torn pages)
8:16 am
Uneaixoise
welki, I feel the same way about Mother's children's books -- someone who would appreciate them -- some have gorgeous illustrations . . .
8:16 am
JBV
have to run, good luck, welki -
8:17 am
Uneaixoise
hi and bye, jbv :-)
8:17 am
welki
only defects .. small tear on the jacket to the glob and small triangular tear on the cover of stepmother goose
8:17 am
Book Doctor Gwen
oops, i read too fast, that's a pogo mother goose, not a regular mother goose
8:18 am
welki
yes, pogo, stepmother goose, a weird parody
8:18 am
Book Doctor Gwen
welki, if you are near a large city, you should be able to find a used bookstore where you can get a free appraisal on these.
8:19 am
Book Doctor Gwen
call first to make sure, and bring children's books with gorgeous illustrations, and the pogo books. they might want some of the poetry but it's a longshot
8:19 am
welki
i appreciate the advice, gwen ... and une? it's so difficult to part with them, but yes, if i found someone who'd appreciate them and take care of them, i'd happily hand them over
8:19 am
Uneaixoise
same here . . .
8:20 am
Book Doctor Gwen
i specialize in history, science, music (songbooks), and carry very little literature. but as a collector i go for mother goose parodies . . .
8:20 am
Uneaixoise
we do have Bookman/Bookwoman independent bookseller . . . and they DO have someone who'll appraise -- may take some there soon just out of curiosity if nothing else
8:21 am
welki
oiks ... darned suede ... now my white tee shirt has rust colored marks you know where ... looks like one of those prank-aprons
8:21 am
Uneaixoise
back in a mo *poof*
8:21 am
welki
gwen .. songbooks .. i have a load of Sing Out mags
8:21 am
Book Doctor Gwen
your sude book has red rot (!) handle with gloves, and store it in between sheets of acid-free paper, if you can
8:22 am
welki
my library gave them to me when they were getting rid of them
8:22 am
Book Doctor Gwen
oh, i have loads of sing out too, LOL
8:22 am
72 Temple Owl
what years sing out1 welk and hi all
8:23 am
welki
red rot? maybe time to get rid of the book?
8:23 am
welki
hi owl ... will dig them out later and let you know
8:24 am
Book Doctor Gwen
that's the term for when old leather starts to flake. i don't know anything about the chemistry of that, just what a mess it can be
8:24 am
72 Temple Owl
don't go to any trouble. some folk song societies might want them
8:24 am
Book Doctor Gwen
i have sold books with red rot, don't think it's toxic or anything
8:25 am
72 Temple Owl
somewhat of a resurgence in fok esp of the protest kind currently
8:26 am
welki
i'm pretty sure it's how it was when i got the book, gwen ... i store the books on wooden shelves in a glassed cabinet and live in calgary (cool and dry), so maybe it won't get any worse than it did when they were in new york
8:27 am
Book Doctor Gwen
it'll get worse, but very slowly
8:28 am
Book Doctor Gwen
i wonder if canada has free medical for books with red rot? lol
8:29 am
welki
probably not covered *mwahgroan*
8:31 am
Book Doctor Gwen
there's chemical description of red rot on wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_rot_%
28leather%29
8:31 am
welki
whew .. thought i killed the chat with bad punnery
8:32 am
Book Doctor Gwen
finally found a 7 woot
8:32 am
welki
ive been looking, too ... one blog suggests celugel for leather red rot (no remarks on what it might do to suede) - no matter, it will remain untreated
8:32 am
Mr Bob
Morning all
8:33 am
Book Doctor Gwen
any treatment will alter the appearance, and lower the collector value, but that only matters if you're trying to sell it, of course. never tried any treatment on suede, and only once did i try treating a leather book
8:34 am
Book Doctor Gwen
i have polybags to protect books in if they have flaking leather. then it's the customer's problem, heh heh. (polybag: little plastic protective bag, the kind used to store comic books, for example)
8:35 am
welki
i've just put it back on the shelf where it's been for decades ... the other books don't seem to mind

In 1858, Hyman Lipman received the patent for the first integrated pencil/eraser writing utensil. Normally, this would be the end of the story, but not for Lipman, who’d created a world-changing product by conveniently combining two pre-existing world-changing products. But that wasn’t good enough for the patent office. Fortunately for Lipman, the Feds were late in figuring this out, and by the time they decided to revoke his patent, the crafty inventor had—according to most sources—already sold the rights for $100,000.

This is the information I got from GoDaddy regarding the web site re46.me:
Based on the information provided, you have a concern with the website
for r46.me. While this domain is registered with us, the domain is being hosted
with another provider. The domain name is redirecting to another hosting
provider via nameservers. The hosting provider can provide more information regarding
this issue.
3:38 pm

Basically that means that domain is registered with GoDaddy, but hosted at another provider. And that is where the problem is.

It was easy to co 4/6 with puzzle today. I am almost done so here is a story. The to 5/14 of today's story is my teenage elo4/5ment. When I was a teenager, I went out with someone who wanted to spi4/6 up our relationship. He got me a to 5/22 ring and suggested that we go to Canada and el5/12. However,our plans fa 4/7ed big time. My parents threw me through a lo 4/5 when they had po 6/24 officers meet me and my boyfriend at the Canadian border.The cops called my Mama and Pa4/6 to come pick us up. They must have found out about it from my older brother, who swore he would keep my secret and not make a pe 4/6. Boy did they give me a pi 5/14 of their mind when we got home. I was in so much trouble! I was in a huge pi4/5 of po 4/6. When my mom and dad punished me, I was so mad that I po4/6ed for days. My punishment was I could not watch my so 4/5 operas for a whole week.I suppo4/5 I deserved the punishment I got from them I to5/10ed with the idea of trying to run away again but changed my mind.Husband wants to pl4/6 himself down in this chair and use computer. I'm going to go make myself a can of chicken noodle so4/6 and sit on the so4/7 and watch a movie. I'll be back later.Ci4/5!

6:12 pm
Soodle
Hmm. I'm a martyr to psoriasis, and have often declared I would sit in a bath of cat-pee to cure it. hen faced with a tank of hungry fishies,
6:13 pm
Soodle
Ahem. when faced with a tank of hungry fishies, I just freaked. I guess I will have to live with psoriasis!
6:13 pm
MollyL
Have you tried that emu oil cream? People say good things about it.
6:14 pm
Soodle
Emu oil cream??? Nope. (Erm, which part of the emu does it come from.....?)
6:16 pm
MollyL
Not sure which part it comes from. Someone on here raves about it for some other ailment, I can't remember what. I've read good things about it.
6:20 pm
Soodle
thanks Molly. I will investigate further. Although, psoriasis seems to emanate from within... (mine is triggered by stress... get rid of the stress, and I will get rid of the psoriasis... easy-peasy!)
6:21 pm
VermontMeow
Soodle, the fishes might be a lot easier than getting rid of stress. Hmmmmm.

9:13 pm
lbdawger
all those meals for one sitting, or three meals for the week, mrp?
9:13 pm
mrpresident

9:14 pm
JenMO16

9:14 pm
jmcnrick

9:17 pm
jmcnrick

9:17 pm
mrpresident

9:18 pm
mrpresident

9:18 pm
mrpresident
cats are crazy you know~!
9:19 pm
lbdawger
whoooo hoooo Jen!!
9:19 pm

9:20 pm
mrpresident
dawg, he is a total animal!
9:21 pm
mrpresident
going on 13 and eating me out of house and home!!
I asked him to come to a food shelter on thursday to see what was on offer for us. He picked so much stuff, the volunteer staff there were laughing at him and me! then they offered him cordial and cake and he had three servings.
They felt so sorry for me, they gave me double my choosing LOL!
9:23 pm
jmcnrick
wait till he is really big--my son was as skinny as a rail from 13 to 26 but would go in waves of eating more than i could buy--glad i had some neighbors who would offer him food too
9:24 pm
mrpresident
which means of course, I have many wontons.... Confusius say 'many wonton mean happy Luke'
9:24 pm
jmcnrick
I just started buying ramen in bulk
9:24 pm
mrpresident
he is a rail!! where does all the food go???
9:25 pm
lbdawger
ah yes, i remember the growing boy...felt like just pouring salad dressing on the lawn and telling the kid to go graze.
9:25 pm
mrpresident
The food shelter gives us beef and chicken 2 minute noodles, bread and buns and milk for free... thank God~!
9:25 pm
mrpresident
LOL dawg!!
9:25 pm
lbdawger
lots of energy there, mrp
9:26 pm
jmcnrick
haha that would have worked for me--i kept a parsley plant growing on the back stoop and come home to find it looking like the locust had attacked it
9:26 pm
lbdawger
i was fortunate that my son wasn't a picky eater. for some reason now tho, he doesn't like olives or avocados. he used to love them as as kid
9:26 pm
mrpresident
energy indeed jmc! all in his head too! is hard keeping up with the demands of a boy with his IQ too.... his brain is growing at a rate of knots too
9:27 pm
crosshair
(((MRP)))
9:27 pm
jmcnrick
my son hated avocados and olives until he grew up--must have swapped with your son
9:27 pm
mrpresident
we have tomato and cucumber plants growing... of an afternoon, the locust *known as Luke* has been through them!
9:27 pm
mrpresident
((((crossy!!! ))))
9:27 pm
crosshair
there is my hawt aussie lass!
9:28 pm
lbdawger
lol, yup those two legged locusts are hard to eradicate
9:28 pm
mrpresident
son eats everything... cooked, raw, with dirt on it...
he even asked me if he could eat raw chicken!!
9:28 pm
jmcnrick
the only way i could get him to garden was to grow cherry tomatoes so he could eat while he worked
9:28 pm
jmcnrick
no raw chicken!!!!
9:28 pm
mrpresident
hello my darlingheart canuck matey!!
9:28 pm
jmcnrick
raw beef however. . . .
9:28 pm
crosshair
lol jmc,my da used to plant sweet pea pods to get me to work the garden
9:29 pm
lbdawger
my granddaughter is the tomatoe eater. she'll sneak them in the grocery store. have to keep a close eye on her1
9:29 pm
mrpresident
i had to explain no raw pork or chicken! he just didn't think he could wait long enough for dinner to be ready!
9:29 pm
jmcnrick
haha my son would sneak a bite of the garlic starting when he was in the cart--i started buying it in the bottle
9:29 pm
lbdawger
poor starving child! lol
9:30 pm
mrpresident
luke eats tomato every day, rather than apple. since he got braces on his teeth, he finds the tomato easier to eat, only 1 tomato costs $1.
9:31 pm
mrpresident
i throw him a carrot, tomato and cucumber every day... cause if I come too close, I might lose a hand
9:31 pm
lbdawger
yikes!! that's an expensive tomatoe!
9:31 pm
mrpresident
apples cost more!!
9:31 pm
jmcnrick
wise move keeping out of range
9:31 pm
mrpresident
our fruit is ridiculously expensive... almost $1.40 an apple
9:31 pm
crosshair
better the carrot or the cukes,the acid in the tomatos is not good for the coating on the braces..unless they have improved over the years
9:32 pm
jmcnrick
wow that is expensive mr p
9:32 pm
jmcnrick
16 left and still not nbt :(
9:32 pm
lbdawger
went to a restaurant once with the kid. the waitress asked if he wanted soup or salad, and he said "yes." he wanted both. got both and promptly made them disappear. He also had a huge steak that i'm not sure he even tasted. it was gone before I even started to cut into my dinner.
9:32 pm
crosshair
that is so not right mrp..here we have a variety of apple we grow locally called goldencrisp.they are so sweet and so firm and they are each the size of my 2 fists
9:33 pm
mrpresident
well, we are in the middle of bumf*** nowhere, and when our fruit/veges is out of season, we import... so yes, darn expensive
9:33 pm
lbdawger
Oi, you need to plant an orchard, mrp.
9:33 pm
jmcnrick
ah of course it is out of season
9:33 pm
mrpresident
we are a beautiful country, with expensive as hell living expenses... I think Sydney is the 5th most expensive city in the world to live in.
9:33 pm
lbdawger
golden crisp, are they like honey crisp? yummmm
9:34 pm
crosshair
we also pay dearly for american veggies in wintertime
9:34 pm
crosshair
they are lbd
9:34 pm
mrpresident
we have golden delicious... and they are no bigger than a kiwifruit... disappointing
9:34 pm
jmcnrick
i think they are just a hair less sweet
9:34 pm
fuzzybunny
Or come to the States and buy Fuji apples that are grown in Austalia, much cheaper than what you are paying now.
9:34 pm
crosshair
they are so big,1 apple=1 pie
9:34 pm
mrpresident
at one stage.... you ready for this?.....
we were paying $2.50 a banana!
9:34 pm
jmcnrick
really golden delicious are regular sized here
9:34 pm
jmcnrick
hi fuzzy
9:35 pm
mrpresident
yeah, our trade agreements screw us over, the consumers here in aussie
9:35 pm
lbdawger
holy scurvy! that's ridiculous!
9:35 pm
fuzzybunny
Hi all
9:35 pm
mrpresident
hi fuzzy :)
9:35 pm
jmcnrick
good heavens i would give up bananas!
9:35 pm
lbdawger
hi fuzzy! i love fuji apples
9:35 pm
mrpresident
and guess who eats 3 bananas a day?? yes, the human receptical
9:35 pm
fuzzybunny
Mr. P, I bought bananas today in Quebec for .33 a pound!
9:35 pm
crosshair
lol,we sell gas to the americans and it is cheaper than what we can buy it for..we are used to it
9:35 pm
fuzzybunny
My favorite is honey crisp
9:35 pm
mrpresident
our fuji's cost about 80c at the moment, each
9:36 pm
jmcnrick
i am a granny smith fan
9:36 pm
fuzzybunny
my son likes granny smith's
9:36 pm
lbdawger
fuji's are so huge here, don't need more than a few to make a pie or cobbler.
9:36 pm
crosshair
my mrs is a mCintosh fan
9:36 pm
mrpresident
a pound is equal to ??? in kg?
9:37 pm
crosshair
macintosh*
9:37 pm
crosshair

9:37 pm
mrpresident
I luv golden delicious
9:37 pm
fuzzybunny

9:37 pm
mrpresident
hate you fuzz ;)
just mail them to me!
9:38 pm
fuzzybunny
that might be cheaper!
9:38 pm
mrpresident
we are paying $5 a kg
9:38 pm
mrpresident
sorry, that was a typo.... $15 a kg
9:38 pm
fuzzybunny
I would not be eating bananas
9:38 pm
lbdawger
$5 a kg is still spendy!
9:38 pm
crosshair
i do not know how you do it mrp..i was pricing out sydney real estate..insane!!
9:39 pm
fuzzybunny
I would be losing a lot of weight at those prices
9:39 pm
lbdawger
$15 is highway robbery
9:39 pm
mrpresident
our crops got wiped with the floods and cyclones and so we import from somewhere far
9:39 pm
jmcnrick
i would be eating a lot of rice
9:40 pm
crosshair
as would i jmc,rich with slivers of meat and veggies in it
9:40 pm
fuzzybunny
That makes sense Mr. P.
9:40 pm
jmcnrick
rice and gravy makes a good supper--i have had it many a night
9:41 pm
jmcnrick
oh too bad mr p that makes things harder in an already hard time
9:42 pm
jmcnrick
grrr my cat wants to take over the keyboard
9:42 pm
mrpresident
oh well jmc, we have help from good people and local organisations that make sure we are ok. Is a major turn around for us. We used to donate to the needy, now we are the needy
9:42 pm
lbdawger
need some alternative crops to replace those that were lost due to the weather
9:42 pm
mrpresident
our church group is doing everything to help us. what goes around, comes around I guess
9:42 pm
crosshair
when my brother was in costa rica,a jar of karaft peanut buter was 10 dollars and a box of craft dinner was 4 dollars..anything not local sot heaven and the earth
9:42 pm
lbdawger
you were just paying it forward, mrp
9:43 pm
crosshair
paing things forward is the key
9:43 pm
fuzzybunny
And you will be back on the other side in no time Mr. P
9:43 pm
jmcnrick
well i had a time when i was just getting by with lots of friends inviting us over to dinner and not so many lunches for me so i understand both sides mr p
9:43 pm
jmcnrick
i always took home the left overs
9:44 pm
lbdawger
nothing wrong with that, jmc
9:44 pm
crosshair
mrp..can you meet me on fb for a quick second?
9:44 pm
fuzzybunny
I have been know to insist that my guests take home "leftovers" too.
9:44 pm
mrpresident
sure crossy
9:44 pm
lbdawger
my neighbors do that to us all the time. we don't need the food, they just don't want the leftovers!
9:46 pm
fuzzybunny
My husband requests that I do that when I make desert, otherwise we wind up eating and we don't need it!
9:47 pm
jmcnrick
i needed the food and learned to turn leftovers into new things
9:47 pm
jmcnrick
now i am okay because i live by myself
9:47 pm
lbdawger
we always have thanksgiving with our neighbors. she cooks way too much then sends it home with everyone. Don't know what she'll do when her guest numbers start to dwindle...i just tell her I'll take the turkey bones, she can keep the rest. I love making turkey soup, and will gladly share it with her and her husband
9:48 pm
lbdawger
i however, am not fond of leftover turkey...weird huh
9:48 pm
jmcnrick

9:57 pm
lbdawger

my thumb doesn't seem to be strong enough for this spacebar
10:35 pm
VermontMeow
Hi Jill Good to see you.

I could use some help please. to 5/10
10:36 pm
VermontMeow
I do it manually, but some folks, like Juneshone, has special software for it. I'm pretty sure June would tell you if you leave a message on one of her jigs.
10:37 pm
mrpresident
of course you can jilli!
10:37 pm
jillibus
(I keep writing tings instead of things)
10:37 pm

10:38 pm
mrpresident
are you staying there?? or thinking of staying there??
10:39 pm
jillibus
I will, mrp. Just don't want to bother you with such matters until you're free of hassles.
10:39 pm
jillibus
Thinking of staying there.
10:40 pm
mrpresident
ok, but would like you to save your money and stay with me if you wish... have no problem in doing that
10:40 pm
jillibus
I have a friend here who has stayed in Sydney but the place she liked was over $300/day and that's a bit much for me, to put it mildly.
10:41 pm
VermontMeow
Does anyone else here find that they type in a word they have found and later its not there. I imagine I make a typo but never notice. But it seems like it happens too often.
10:41 pm
mrpresident
and it is cheaper to rent an apartment for the week... only $600 and is fully furnished
10:41 pm
herinfernallady
Hi. Jill :http://www.wotif.com/ very handy and have some good motel/hotels. The Pensione Hotel there does look nice. We stayed at teh Park Hyatt when we went to the theatre
10:41 pm
snags
Yes, I do VM
10:42 pm
VermontMeow
Jill - I think you joined the Jigidi forum. If so, you can post your question there and probably get several answers.
10:42 pm
jillibus
I would love to stay with you for a wile but need a few days in Downtown Sydney, I think -- agreed? Want to do a few tourist things.
10:42 pm
mrpresident

10:43 pm
VermontMeow
Snags, is it just our own ineptness?
10:43 pm
mrpresident
Park Hyatt is gorgeous! and nice and expensive! I can get better rate as a sydney sider though
10:43 pm
jillibus
Oh wow, mrp == that sounds like a great idea! Don't know how long to stay in Sydney. Need to visit Frenchs Farm cousins too. I need help!
10:43 pm
