Here it is : Apparently, I now need to wear my glasses when I am doing laundry. That way, when what appears to be a pregnancy test flies out of Fiona's pocket when I am getting the laundry together, I will be able to see it is merely a Colgate Wisp thingie, and I won't have a heart attack. Learn from my fail!

10:26 am

10:28 am

Trifioso

Yeah, really, molly, right? They must have known when they made them....

10:29 am

car.eeyore

Did you tell her yet?

10:29 am

uusue2

10:29 am

Trifioso

10:29 am

car.eeyore

OK...really gotstogo......

10:29 am

10:30 am

well done judi!

10:41 am

Trifioso

I just can't budge some of these letters at all. Funny how small grids are often so hard

10:44 am

Judi

Small grids are always stinkers. I only recognized three of the A words. Oy.

10:45 am

Trifioso

can I have a hint for the a under the center a please judi?

10:46 am

Judi

Hmm. Which one? There's an At6, at5 and an at4. All very similar.

10:46 am

Trifioso

the a under the center a only has one word from it...

10:46 am

uusue2

the one under the center is the at6 (I am pretty sure)

10:46 am

Judi

Oh. Ae4. Babblet.

10:47 am

uusue2

at6 ends in a male person

10:47 am

Judi

Sounds like the first half of the the dynamic duo, minus the B.

10:47 am

MollyL

So many A's, so little time.

10:48 am

Judi

A-men.

10:48 am

Trifioso

i have both of those....neither is from that a...

10:48 am

Judi

Gotta jet. My mobile car detailers are here. FINALLY!

10:49 am

MollyL

A + a popular name for a street?

10:49 am

Trifioso

oh wait...I only have an at 5...

10:49 am

uusue2

you have the at6, trif? it's exactly like the at5 except with an extra vowel in the middle

10:49 am

Trifioso

it was the at6. THANKS!

10:49 am

MollyL

Forget that, wrong A

10:49 am

Judi

*poof* until tomorrow!

10:49 am

Trifioso

so now I am nbt, at least

10:49 am

bye, Judi!

10:49 am

crosshair

car detailers that come to your home?? wild!

10:50 am

crosshair

now,they should have a laundry service that comes to you homw and washes,folds and put away all your laundry:)

10:51 am

Trifioso

they do, crossy. it's called "moms"

10:54 am

MollyL

Hell yes to that Trif

10:55 am

Trifioso

oof. I always forget the cat sound....6 left!

10:55 am

Those detailers that come to you are expensive.

10:55 am

just as soon as I finish the ten loads I have to do here, pet

10:56 am

crosshair

:(

10:56 am

crosshair

actually,i am in good shape,2 loads to wash and 8 to fold

10:57 am

Trifioso

you do get me to wondering, though...maybe I could start a laundry service like that....

10:57 am

crosshair

it would be huge trif...

10:58 am

crosshair

they supply the machines and detergent and you charge per load washed and dried,folding is extra

10:58 am

Trifioso

I was thinking i could pick it up, do it here, and then fold it and deliver it back to them....

10:59 am

MollyL

You would have to fold it. How else would you return it? Just thrown in a basket.

10:59 am

crosshair

well then you have to charge water.hydro and wear and tear on your machines,better to do it at thier home

11:00 am

Trifioso

maybe so, yes....but what would I do while the laundry is running? I am not going to sit in someone else's house all day....

11:00 am

crosshair

mmmm

11:00 am

Shirlockc

36? wow, smallest grid i ever saw

11:00 am

mind you, I could babble

11:00 am

crosshair

there is that:)

11:01 am

crosshair

record is 26

11:01 am

Trifioso

if I kept it confined to my town, I could start a load at one house, go on to the next one, start theirs, and so on....

11:01 am

crosshair

mm this requires a prospectus...

11:02 am

Trifioso

its a good idea, isn't it? I am sure there are folks who would pay to get the laundry monkey off their back

11:02 am

MollyL

Would people hire out for just laundry? Don't cleaning ladies include that?

11:03 am

Trifioso

when I had a cleaning lady, she didn't

11:03 am

crosshair

here molly maid charges 50 dollars per hour and they come in pairs..a dedicated laudry service would be a tad cheaper

11:03 am

MollyL

Oh okay. I'm clueless. Never had a cleaning lady.

11:04 am

Trifioso

and I have well water, not town water, so I have no water bill. Electricity, on the other hand....

11:04 am

crosshair

it is a very good idea..just needs some thought

11:05 am

crosshair

and use that laundry detergent recipie that people have posted on here that costs pennies a load

11:05 am

Trifioso

I just gave up and got licketys list....

11:06 am

MollyL

Personally, I could not do someone else's laundry.

ma5/12, insanity

1:41 pm

MollyL

I would have appreciated a larger grid today. This is the slowest week of the year, work wise.

1:42 pm

LeslieAnn

or Beatle-ma***

1:42 pm

Focal

I'm new, please explain the reference to me, such as ma5/12 ????

1:42 pm

MollyL

It means the word starts with "ma" and has 5 letters and is worth 12 points.

1:43 pm

charliesmomuk

TY uusue2 ! ONE left to get....

1:44 pm

LeslieAnn

focal, 4-letter words points count as is, 5-letter words are point total x2, 6-letter words point total x3 etc

1:44 pm

LeslieAnn

so if you're counting, the ma 5/12 tiles only count for 6 points, but then is x2 to get 12. so you know it's ma + three 1-point tiles

1:45 pm

Focal

Hmm, I should have started this earlier in the day, brain is in Xmas wine decay. . .

1:45 pm

Focal

Thanks for that LeslieAnn

1:46 pm

uusue2

Focal, if you check out the "Help" link above, there is lots of useful information there

1:46 pm

LeslieAnn

heehee. have you checked the "lickety's babble clues" link under the grid, focal? it will give you first and second letters for each word in the grid

1:47 pm

Focal

Oooh, just had a look, will check it out tomorrow!

1:48 pm

Focal

Thanks again

1:48 pm

uusue2

Reminder to self: You have finished the grid. You can stop looking for words in it now.

1:48 pm

you're welcome

3:39 pm

MollyL

Soodle, did you read Sinead's wack-a-doodle explanation of why things didn't work out? That woman is nuts.

3:40 pm

uusue2

the anti-woman stuff is mostly in a small area of Jerusalem, I think, science; my sister-in-law has a loud CD of Joan Baez that she always plays when driving through that place

3:40 pm

sciencegeek

lol

3:41 pm

uusue2

she thinks it's a way for the PM to get some good press (by opposing the anti-woman nonsense)

3:44 pm

MollyL

Wow. I just got a very generous Amazon gift card from someone for helping them manage their web site. I was not expecting that at all. Whee! Shopping spree!

Included in her inane explanation was this..."Celebrations were marred "by a bit of a wild ride i took us on looking for a bit of a smoke of weed... as I don't drink," she wrote.
She admitted Herridge had been "enormously wounded" by the incident.

4:45 pm

5:13 pm

carleekat

<thinking she is going to make cabbage rolls tomorrow > note to self..buy cabbage

5:17 pm

MollyL

Did you get an Amazon credit card? They are giving 30 dollar gift certificates for applying for those.

5:19 pm

MollyL

They also had some promotionals during Christmas where you got money back (in the form of Amazon gift certificates) when you made a purchase.

5:22 pm

Minveryork

I saw the gift certificate before I even ordered anything.So instead of paying $54.00 dollars,I only paid $24.00.Hooray

5:25 pm

MollyL

Nice surprise!

5:27 pm

Minveryork

Another nice surprise for me today was coming home after a long five hour drive from Vermont to a nice small puzzle.

I found 20 words listless and then got all the rest with a list

5:38 pm

Minveryork

I babbled today am 5/12 and now down to my last word which I am saving for later. Here is a story of clues. So I celebrated the holidays with 13 people & 6 an5/12ls(all dogs).There was no ma5/12 with that many people and ro 4/5ing dogs in the house. Dogs wagged their ta 4/4s as they continuously tried to obta4/4 food scraps on the floor. There was also 1 baby, 2 young children (8 & 11), and a toddler. With all that though, we did not have to experience pa 4/5ful agonies of babies crying&children fighting. We all ha 4/5ed my mother for being the best host in the world.The house was decorated to the hi4/5 with wr6/33s, lights and ornaments. We wo 4/8 special Christmas outfits. The ma4/5 dinner meal on Christmas was outstanding. People celebrated with various drinks. I drank Pi4/5 Coladas mostly.We did experience a little jo4/9 when we all realized it was our 1st holiday w/out my Grandmother. I have to go feed my mi5/20ing cat. I will be back sometime later to enter last word and clue

6:01 pm

Nef

Great! Glad to hear that! :-) my DH is always so worried when I'm sick or have had surgery that he hovers too much. I always want to just be left alone to sleep and he's always waking me: "Do you need anything? What can I do to help?"

6:05 pm

hurshy

i guess i go now make room for another cat ttfn

6:05 pm

Nef

Sorry, I don't have any L's

6:09 pm

Snitkina

hint for at4 or na4?

6:10 pm

Nef

Sorry, Snit. I don't have either yet (but will look)

6:12 pm

Nef

at 4 = at + not pa

6:12 pm

Snitkina

thanks, one more to go

6:12 pm

Nef

na is N + 3 vowels

BTW, welcome to Babble! I don't think we've met before; but I see you've been here nearly a year

Snitkina

thanks, I had that, still 1 to go.

9 left (going listless tonight) I keep seeing "words" for blacked out tiles..

6:27 pm

gortmold

clue for the ta6 pls, anyone?

6:28 pm

MollyL

Most of what a dog wags + what you fry food in

6:29 pm

lil*monkey

I'm back, eating stir fried tofu & broccoli, looking for my last 5 words

6:30 pm

lil*monkey

is there an AP word?

6:31 pm

Nef

I don't know, lil* I haven't found one yet

6:31 pm

phaeton

no ap

6:32 pm

Nef

(gotta go fix supper; trying to keep DH off his sore knee

6:37 pm

MollyL

Stir fried tofu and broccoli is a far cry from pizza

6:48 pm

Nef

Back. There is nothing like hot turkey sandwiches with gravy and mashed potatoes (all left overs) for a chilly night! :-) I love having left overs and making different meals out of them

6:52 pm

origami

Yummmmmm ... hot turkey sandwiches! Although lil's stir fried broccoli & tofu can be great too. My connection keeps going down so only get snippets of the chog

6:55 pm

lil*monkey

Yes Molly... I wanted pizza but I had tofu & broc in the fridge... yum with peanut ginger sauce

6:55 pm

Nef

lil*'s supper is probably healthier physically; but I think mine is great comfort food so healthy for the soul. ;-)

6:55 pm

MollyL

I like leftovers the next day. After that, I freeze the leftover meat and use it later. Otherwise, we get burned out on the beef or turkey, whatever the holiday meal was.

6:56 pm

lil*monkey

One or two meals of turkey is all I can take

6:56 pm

lil*monkey

And I don't like many of the side dishes

6:56 pm

MollyL

I can't eat variations of one kind of meat all week.

6:57 pm

lil*monkey

esp not TURKEY

6:57 pm

MollyL

Most of my leftover Thanksgiving turkey gets frozen to make soup with later on.

6:57 pm

Nef

we had a small turkey breast Christmas eve; then a small beef roast Christmas day. Roasted veggies with the turkey, wild rice and mashed potatoes and veggies with the beef. Lots of ways to mix and match; we aren't getting bored yet

6:58 pm

lil*monkey

dammit I need one more A word and then the As are done

6:58 pm

lil*monkey

I have 4 am, 1 an, 3 at

6:58 pm

I need one P, one R, one M and one L

7:02 pm

negativeneil

What a small grid, geez.

7:02 pm

Nef

the li5 adds a letter in the middle and flips the last 2 letters

7:03 pm

lil*monkey

I have li5, what is the other L ?

7:03 pm

Nef

it's a bit tricky, neil

7:04 pm

lil*monkey

I mean stats

7:04 pm

Nef

oops I clued the li 6/21; not the li5!

7:05 pm

lil*monkey

stats for the L word? I have li5

7:06 pm

Nef

li 6/21; it's the clue I gave at 7:02 but I said it was the li5 Sorry

7:06 pm

lil*monkey

that L is my last word!

7:06 pm

lil*monkey

OK

7:07 pm

lil*monkey, are you one of those "monkeys" who help everyone find words and finish the grid?

YAY, lil*monkey!!! WTG!!!

7:07 pm

MollyL

Nef, I agree about comfort food. It is good for the soul.

7:08 pm

lil*monkey

I can clue if anyone needs some monkey help

7:09 pm

Nef

I think that's why it's called comfort food

7:09 pm

Nef

monkey, do all of the T's start the same?

7:10 pm

lil*monkey

eeek EEEKEKEek eeeee eeeee!

7:10 pm

lil*monkey

ta4 x 2, ta6 x 1 and ta5 x 1

7:11 pm

lil*monkey

sorry I forgot to speak english

7:11 pm

MollyL

That's what you get for eating tofu. *Shudders*

7:12 pm

Nef

thanks; I'm missing the ta5 then.

7:12 pm

lil*monkey

It always kills me when people act like eating tofu or oysters or sushi is gross

7:12 pm

Kenny Chuck

Clue for ta5?

7:13 pm

Nef

We like all of them;except soft tofu isn't a texture we're crazy for.

7:13 pm

lil*monkey

ta + Some*h**e over the rainbow

7:14 pm

lil*monkey

I use extra firm tofu, cut into little cubes like the size of dice and pan fry in a little olive oil first, that makes them a little harder

7:14 pm

MollyL

I just can't get thrilled about bean curd.

7:14 pm

Nef

THANKS, lil*!

7:14 pm

lil*monkey

I can't get thrilled about comfort food, to each his own

7:14 pm

a1axelady1982

I like oysters, Ive never tried sushi and Im not allowed to have tofu but I think I would like them both

7:15 pm

Nef

The extra firm tofu is very good; especially cooked like that, Molly

7:15 pm

MollyL

Okey dokey, I will hush now.

7:16 pm

Nef

axe, are you alregic or sensitive to tofu?

7:16 pm

Kenny Chuck

tx lil

7:16 pm

Nef

allergic

7:16 pm

lil*monkey

yw kenny chuckles

7:17 pm

a1axelady1982

Its soy and my cancer was estrogen sensitive so I cant have any soy products

7:17 pm

lil*monkey

kenny chuck, you have spelled Massachusetts incorrectly in your profile, just sayin'

7:17 pm

a1axelady1982

it mimics estrogen in the body

7:18 pm

lil*monkey

Yes that is one of the reasons I eat it, a1axe

7:18 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations lil*monkey on fireworks!Good for you

7:18 pm

lil*monkey

thank u Minver, and thanks your story was helpful

7:18 pm

oh! I didn't realize cooked soy proteins could do that

7:18 pm

lil*monkey

OK must run along now, night evvyone

7:18 pm

Minveryork

yw lil*monkey

7:19 pm

Nef

niters, lil*! Sleep well!

7:19 pm

a1axelady1982

you wouldnt beleive how many products have soy in them almost everything

7:19 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye lil*monkey! I will see you tomorrow in the log

7:21 pm

Nef

My son was lactose intolerant and I learned that food ingredients are often changed, etc. It's really important to read the labels on foods you eat all the time

7:22 pm

negativeneil

I am too, Nef... although not as severely as some people. I'll get away with a little now and then.

7:22 pm

a1axelady1982

your right Nef. They give additives names that people would have no cluewhat they really are

7:23 pm

Nef

he can get away with some now also (he's 32 now). But til he was 7, he couldn't tolerate any lactose or whey. He had soy milk until the came out with Lactaid

7:24 pm

Nef

You're so right, axe! Sometimes it seems like they come out with new names just for the confusion!

7:25 pm

Nef

Oh wow! BTW; FW!

7:25 pm

a1axelady1982

I manage a deli /bakery and you wouldnt beleive what some of the fillers are in the lunch meats.

7:26 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Nef on your fireworks! Hooray for U!

7:26 pm

a1axelady1982

some of the lunch "meats" are less than 20 % meat

7:28 pm

Nef

Thank you, Min

7:29 pm

Nef

I believe that, axe. When the meat isn't in the first 3-4 ingredients it makes me wonder how they can call it that. I won't buy it

7:30 pm

a1axelady1982

I dont either

7:35 pm

negativeneil

I see, Nef. I'm not too affected by a little cream in my coffee now and then and I'll get away with a cheeseburger if I don't have onet often, but if I drink a milkshake I'll usually be sorry later.

7:36 pm

negativeneil

"one" even... how I typed "onet" I'll never know.

7:55 pm

Nef

sorry, neil; I'd wandered off for a bit. With lactose intolerance, aged cheese is okay; but not fresher cheese. The lactose is in the whey; so anything with whey will contain lactose. Sometimes Cool whip was okay for our sone to eat; other times it wasn't

7:55 pm

Nef

son, that was

8:00 pm

MollyL

We were just talking at work today about how strange it is that all these allergies and intolerances have sprouted up. When people of my age group were in elementary school, there was no lactose intolerance or peanut allergies. It's weird.

8:08 pm

Nef

It's turned out that in my family anyone who wasn't breast fed is lactose intolerant. I couldn't breast feed my son (I had health problems) but I did breastfeed my dtr and she was fine. I wonder about the peanut allergy being due to the fact that kids get peanut butter when they are very young?

8:11 pm

Erda

I keep telling myself that I'm not allergic to anything and it works! Why? Back in Europe, I used to hang around with doctors (my BF was a med student). It is a fact that during the last big war, all allergies stopped. Just stopped. Because people's minds were on more important things! That told me where the trigger is and why telling myself I have no allergies WILL WORK! And it does.

8:11 pm

rururocks

maybe that's my problem and I should try to breast feed more often

8:12 pm

negativeneil

Haha, ruru... and hi! :)

8:12 pm

rururocks

hi neil

8:12 pm

negativeneil

Catch up. ;)

8:13 pm

rururocks

you mean ketchup with that hamburger?

8:14 pm

rururocks

I don't think that positive thinking would help my allergies erda

8:15 pm

Erda

It might -- if you REALLY believed in what you are saying. Try it!

8:15 pm

Nef

mine either. Currently going through bee sting shots

8:15 pm

Erda

For what?

8:16 pm

rururocks

I have a nut allergy.. and I have to be careful

8:16 pm

Nef

I DEFINITELY did NOT want to be allergic to bees (actually yellow jackets and 2 types of hornets)

8:17 pm

rururocks

so.. I try to stay away from crazy people too.. just in case of a reaction..

8:17 pm

Erda

A friend of mine is going bee shots in order to help multuple sclerosis. It worked fine in the beginning; not too well later.

8:17 pm

Erda

going = doing

8:18 pm

Nef

My DH has MS; he's on shots but not bee sting shots; they are beta inferon shots.

8:18 pm

Erda

do they work?

8:19 pm

MollyL

Interesting about breast feeding Nef. Because most baby boomers were not breast fed and they were the generation who had the least childhood allergies.

8:19 pm

negativeneil

Crazy people, ruru? Haha, check my updates on profile from December 11. Lots of fun.

8:20 pm

Erda

Wasn't there a war then around there, Molly? A big one?

8:21 pm

rururocks

<---wasn't breast fed

8:21 pm

rururocks

but I'm not allergic to breasts thankfully

8:22 pm

8:23 pm

rururocks

8:23 pm

jesdraggon

i'm glad you're not allergic to breasts, ru, if you were you couldn't hang out with most of us :)

8:23 pm

Erda

amen

8:23 pm

rururocks

so true jes.. so true

8:23 pm

Dorens

so, reading back in the chog.... My son david is so lactose intolerant that he can't even handle lactaid. and he was breastfed (and wasn't allergic to that, but was allergic to wheat when a youngster)

8:24 pm

jesdraggon

at6 clue please?

8:24 pm

Nef

When I think of the diet we were raised on; it was a very basic meat, veggies, potatoes and fresh fruit diet. We thought PB was a treat! I know my kids had more PB than I did; but they still didn't have it more than 2-3 times a week

8:24 pm

rururocks

older than attaboy

8:24 pm

Dorens

babbler becky from Great Britain is ***lante + male

8:24 pm

Dorens

i wanted to use that clue ru, but thought it gave too much away

8:24 pm

jesdraggon

thanks, dorens

8:25 pm

rururocks

I like my clue better

8:25 pm

Erda

it's the head of a group of Don Cossacks

8:25 pm

Dorens

i do too

8:25 pm

Nef

allergic to wheat, Dorens? That IS interesting!

8:25 pm

jesdraggon

i missed your's, ru

8:26 pm

jesdraggon

*looks back* ah; heheheheh. cute :)

8:26 pm

MollyL

Is allergic to wheat the same thing as having Celiac disease?

8:26 pm

Dorens

it was rough back then.. hard to find bread... the health food stores had rice flour bread in the freezer and it was all crumbly and terrible. I was always making him macaroons and sending them with him to birthday parties. he had terrible eczema

8:26 pm

Dorens

nope! not gluten, and he did outgrow it around first grade

8:27 pm

rururocks

does he use twitter doren?

8:27 pm

Dorens

my sister had celiac disease (and we're talking back in 1953---

8:28 pm

jesdraggon

firewords; last word was li6

8:28 pm

rururocks

well done jes

8:28 pm

Dorens

no, don't think so ru. Oh and Jeremy and his wife are vegetarian, so what do you think i'm serving them on Thursday when we have our christmukkah celebration here

8:28 pm

Dorens

yay jes

8:28 pm

rururocks

oh good.. tell him to be careful around twheating then

8:29 pm

rururocks

Farro?

8:29 pm

Dorens

oh ru, that is dreadful

8:29 pm

rururocks

ba daba boom

8:29 pm

Dorens

yes, of course farro. i've been making my own vegetable stock lately (adding red pepper flakes) and cook the farro in that. had some tonight just plain and delicious

8:30 pm

Dorens

and i'm going to break out some of the good old wines, don't have too much left.. did find a bottle of beaucastel, always liked that one

8:31 pm

rururocks

that's a good match

8:32 pm

periwinkle

never had farro, what does it taste like? hi all

8:33 pm

Dorens

good. also making brisket and my mom is bringing latkes (it is a post - hannukah party too. And Rachel is brining a chicken (which I am picking up from a poultry farm tomorrow... I ordered a nice fat 5 pounder. free range, organic and all that stuff

8:33 pm

MollyL

I have a friend whose kid is allergic to nuts and all she does is go on and on and on about it. It's like the kid's nut allergy consumes their whole lives.

8:34 pm

Dorens

delicious nutty grain peri. one of my favorite things, and ruru is the one who turned me on to it. goes beautifully with butternut squash

8:34 pm

periwinkle

I must try it soon then

8:35 pm

MollyL

Ooo, sounds like good eats at your party Doren.

8:35 pm

Dorens

that is sad molly. some people are like that. My daughter in law was allergic to dairy, eggs, nuts, fish, shellfish, sesame, etc when i first met her. Had to keep a list of what I could cook when she came

8:35 pm

periwinkle

just stopped in to say hi, going to read for a while, see you all tomorrow

8:35 pm

MollyL

I find it sad when anyone defines themselves by a condition. There is more to a person than that.

8:35 pm

MollyL

Night Peri.

8:36 pm

rururocks

night peri

8:36 pm

periwinkle

night Molly,night all

8:36 pm

Dorens

oh yes molly. we are all quite into good food. I've been baking and shopping and cooking all day... they come tomorrow. Made dog biscuits today even (and I think they're really tasty. just flour, corn meal, oats, oil, salt and an egg. not sweet. but tasty. nite peri

8:37 pm

MollyL

What a group. You even cook for the dogs. : )

8:38 pm

Dorens

i need to start closing my parentheses. ) ) ). that might even me up. I also need to find my last 12 words so i can go back and wash pans, pots and dishes.

8:38 pm

Dorens

never did that before, but my friend made them and i really kind of like them. She lent me the bone shaped cookie-cutters. SHe has no kids, so it is a bit more understandable.

8:41 pm

Dorens

i always go nuts when my kids come... one problem is oldest son has bad cat allergies now and i have two cats. so i'm running around trying to minimize the problem

8:41 pm

Dorens

welcome suz. just be warned that it can be addictive

8:42 pm

jesdraggon

thanks, min :)

8:42 pm

suz01

already that to be the case! LOL

8:44 pm

MollyL

How do you minimize the cat allergy problem Doren?

8:46 pm

Dorens

vacuum like crazy remove throw pillows and shawls in the living room that likely have dander. Wash the baseboards, vacuum really carefully between the carpet and baseboard cause lots of hair accumulates there. that sort of thing

8:47 pm

jesdraggon

shave and scrub the cats :)

8:47 pm

Dorens

HEPA filter machines going full blast in the living room and dining room. And there is one bedroom that the cats never go in... I keep the door closed always. That is where he sleeps. And still, he puffs away on his inhaler and sometimes needs to go outside for a bit to get fresh air. If he lived closer and visited more, I'd take more drastic measures probably

8:48 pm

rururocks

lol jes

8:48 pm

rururocks

I'd love to see that

8:49 pm

Dorens

i actually bought something last year to wash them with that supposedly will reduce the allergic factor in their dander FEL-d1. But it is hard to get my most offensive cat to let me wash him (particularly since they say where the cat licks most often, especially the genital area). It isn't worth getting bit by him

8:49 pm

rururocks

Son to Doren: "MOm.. why are your hands all bandaged up?" Doren:"don't ask!"

8:49 pm

Dorens

what a jewish mother will not do for her children!!

8:50 pm

MollyL

God help anyone allergic to cats that goes into my kids house. There is cat hair everywhere. And the cat has no boundaries. It's up on the table and the counters, which I find pretty gross.

8:51 pm

Dorens

yeah, boundaries are needed

8:54 pm

jesdraggon

i have lots of critters...i don't think they belong on the kitchen counter unless they're on the menu though.

8:56 pm

Dorens

once in a while one of my cats might think so but I always let them know that I don't

8:56 pm

Minveryork

Speaking of lots of critters, we celebrated Christmas with six dogs all under the table waiting for droppings

8:57 pm

Dorens

that would probably make me nervous, min

8:57 pm

Minveryork

It was quite a houseful.6 dogs and 14 people at X-Mas

8:58 pm

Minveryork

I wrote about my X-Mas in my story which is in profile

8:59 pm

rururocks

wasn't like a bunch of pit bulls under her table doren

8:59 pm

Dorens

actually i was at a house for christmas with 8 people and 5 dogs. but only one was obnoxious (his owner was a neurotic narcissistic 60 year old bachelor). the others were happy that they'd been fed before

8:59 pm

JenMO16

geeez......

9:00 pm

rururocks

in that case ..put the obnoxious owner under the table

9:00 pm

Dorens

this is my friend who made the dog biscuits. she took very good care of the dogs. She is beginning a pet therapy business

9:01 pm

Dorens

this guy wants to be a part of it.. says his dog is a "nationally recognized therapy dog". He needs some different type of therapy for sure

he was truly so pathetic. I thanked her for allowing us to feel the christmas spirit.Conversing with this guy - or trying to converse with him - was truly a charitable act. He clearly has no friends, no social skills whatsoever. It was sad
