1:50 am

VolleymomDee

It will be time-consuming; lots to wrap carefully, unfortunately....exactly

1:51 am

westford

wouldn't it be nice to be Samantha on Bewitched and just wiggle your nose?

1:52 am

VolleymomDee

Or wealthy enough to just pay someone else to do it and not feel too guilty to hire them LOL

1:53 am

westford

the nice part of all this is you know exactly where things will go in the new house

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

1:53 am

dart001

just be glad you aren't moving very far away....you can take some of the fragile stuff in a car...and not have to worry about having to go hundreds/thousands of miles :)

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

very true, dart. If we were moving that far, we would definitely hire movers.

1:54 am

westford

will you get movers for the big items?

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

Although, I must say, when my folks moved, many important pieces were broken and scratched by the professionals...moving isn't fun...

I used to go to York Univ every summer for the Canadian Open Tennis Tournament. But I haven't gone in several yrs. Yes, it is a huge metropolis.

5:42 am

doseffing

... Yes ... the tennis is still there ... the men's and women's tournaments alternate between York U and Montreal but I think they're changing that this year ... to put both tournaments in one city and have a big US Open or Wimbledon like tournament

5:43 am

doseffing

... went to York for grad school ... ... but even it is bigger ... ... was there in 1983 ... took my daughter for a tour last year and got lost

5:44 am

Scrabbler

One year we got lost trying to get home. My friend, a directionally-challenged person, was driving. When I realized the lake was on our right and the sign indicated Oshawa I told her to turn around.

5:45 am

Any clue for the second ca6? Please

We had a mild winter, although we will have snow at least a few more times.

6:06 am

doseffing

... I can say with great precision when daughter number two was born ... 1:17 in the afternoon ... ... but have no idea of when daughter one arrived ... ... it was the night of the change over and they had stopped all the clocks in the hospital ... and forgotten to start them again ... ... the delivery room staff all looked at their watches and came up with four different times varying by an hour and a half

6:07 am

Scrabbler

When I was a resident and on call in the hospital there was always confusion with the time changes. First it is 0159 then 0200 then 0100..

Scrabbler

We will have a sunny spring-weather week. Maybe the snow will all melt.

7:37 am

Mom

did you have a lot of snow this winter, Scrabbler?

7:38 am

Scrabbler

It was a very mild winter. My driveway got plowed out 6 times and usually it would happen20-22 times. Buffalo got about 40 inches and usual for where I live, in "ski country" is 120.

7:39 am

Mom

wow, that is a mild winter.

7:39 am

Mom

We have had only 5" this year

7:39 am

Mom

never more than an inch or a little more at one time

7:40 am

Mom

and I am okay with that

7:40 am

Scrabbler

The ski resort across the valley from me had a fair year--never had all of the trails open. I feel bad for their financial woes this yr.

7:41 am

Mom

with winters like this can they make their own snow?

7:41 am

Scrabbler

I XC-skied just 5 times and snowhsoed 3. Usually I would ski or snowshoe 3-4 times weekly through thee winter.

7:41 am

Scrabbler

Yes, making their own snow saved them. They were still open yesterday but I am sure they will close within the next wk.

7:42 am

Mom

Yes, it will be a bit warm to ski

7:46 am

lbdawger

Hi scrabs, Hi (((MOM)))

7:47 am

"Spring" skiing = wearing shorts + T-shirt. Last yr I XC-skied in March with a T-shirt on, but my ski pants. It was fun in the sun.

Stinson

7 LETTER WORD CLUE FOOTBALL

Riverdance

my dear friend and I are both celebrating mile stone birthdays this year so we decided to leave the husbands and kids at home and go somewhere tropical. that island ended up being the most economical for us for an all inclusive trip

8:45 am

Scrabbler

Lots of people go to Punta Cana. My friend enjoyed a zip-line place near there.

8:46 am

Riverdance

we plan on doing some sea kyaking while there

hootowl

Oh that sounds like every womans dream! Away with no one to say no!

8:47 am

Riverdance

8:47 am

hego

I went away without hubby last year. A great trip, but I missed him enormously.

10:21 am

westford

babble is a learning experience

10:21 am

Deeha

I thought it just meant like heaven!! I had an aunt who named her house that!!

10:21 am

MollyL

Yes, but the applications of what is learned are so limited.

10:21 am

westford

ooh must be a lovely house

10:22 am

westford

not so much the words as the info in the chat

10:22 am

MollyL

Oh, information in the chat is priceless. And a learning experience, sometimes.

10:23 am

westford

sifting is a good thing to do lol

10:23 am

Deeha

Not really, just after thye war(!) it was the last houswe before the country started on the Nortyh Circular - nowaday London goes on for miles and I couldnt even tell which house it was - N Circular is a feeder road to the M1 now - you can chew the air round there!!

10:23 am

MollyL

Cute icon West. Ever notice that we understand each other just fine. It's just men who seem to have the problem. : )

Kaplan the Magne

The lead guy of Firesign Theater just died.

10:48 am

Kaplan the Magne

A mink stole!!!

10:48 am

Kaplan the Magne

From the Speigel catalog Chicago Illinois.

10:49 am

Kaplan the Magne

Or if any of you remember firesign Theater...

Kaplan the Magne

"The bag or the box?"

10:49 am

westford

10:49 am

Kaplan the Magne

"Why this is just a bag of..."

10:49 am

Kaplan the Magne

Days of Our Lips?

10:52 am

Kaplan the Magne

http://firesigntheatre.com/index.php

10:53 am

Haz1558

ca6/24 - first four letters of what you might use to do sums (apart from fingers and toes), last two letters indicate plural.

10:53 am

phaeton

ty haz

10:54 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

10:54 am

westford

hello haz

10:54 am

Haz1558

Hello, westford and everyone.

10:55 am

westford

Our granddaughter and her friend are flying to Glasgow at the end of the month.

10:56 am

Haz1558

How long are they going to be there? They mustn't miss Edinburgh!

10:56 am

westford

then will visit a college friend in Aberdeen but don't know what they'll do after that..

10:56 am

Haz1558

They can't not visit Edinburgh.

10:56 am

westford

Mar 28 to Apr 8..I will tell them..

10:57 am

westford

having dinner with them on Wed. night

10:58 am

westford

are they close to each other?

10:58 am

Haz1558

Tell them I insist!

10:58 am

westford

I will. Edinburgh would be my first choice too

10:59 am

Haz1558

Glasgow and Edinburgh are about 40 miles apart. Aberdeen is further north along the same east coast as Edinburgh. Tiny distances in American terms, of course.

11:00 am

westford

she's in Cambridge MA now..an hour away from us in Rhode Island..we know tiny

11:01 am

Haz1558

Will it be their first time in Europe?

11:01 am

westford

she also wants to see Loch Ness..the ruins of the family castle are there

11:01 am

westford

yes it will..she went to Australia 2 years ago

11:02 am

westford

she loves to travel

11:02 am

westford

and never invites Grandmother lol

11:02 am

Haz1558

Then she'll be going even further north than Aberdeen if she heads to Loch Ness - she'll see some beautiful scenery.

11:04 am

westford

Didn't one of your girls go to school in Edinburgh?

11:05 am

Haz1558

Yes, my younger girl studied in Edinburgh. Husband and I also went to university there, (it's where we met) and so I have a great fondness for the city.

11:05 am

westford

How lovely.

11:06 am

westford

I think Cassie won't want to come home.

11:07 am

Haz1558

I'm sure she'll have a great time, but no matter where you go, I think it's always nice to be home.

11:08 am

westford

It's the travel to and from that gets to me.

11:09 am

Haz1558

I know, it can be very tiring - even just hanging around.

11:10 am

westford

Flying used to be such fun..now it's just a way to get there.

11:12 am

Haz1558

I'd like to try flying first class but I doubt whether that will ever happen.

11:12 am

westford

Speaking of flying I need to get going and make lunch for my husband who can look at a full refrigerator and not find a thing.

11:12 am

Haz1558

See you later, westford.

11:13 am

westford

bye haz..I will be sure to tell Cassie to include Edinburgh

11:13 am

Haz1558

She'll not be disappointed, it's just lovely.

11:16 am

Vicuna

Edinburgh is magical - I'd love to go back with actual money to see and do things there! I had to see everything from the outside only when I was there, and loved it anyway.

11:17 am

Vicuna

Hello! =)

11:17 am

Haz1558

Hello, vicuna! How are you?

11:17 am

Vicuna

Splendid, thanks, Haz. And you?

11:18 am

Haz1558

And I'm glad you liked Edinburgh. I'm well, struggling rather a lot with this grid, mind you.

11:19 am

Vicuna

Hmmm... I haven't been finding it too bad so far. Perhaps I'm about to have a rude awakening.

11:19 am

Vicuna

But I am haunted by phantom manacles and monocles.

11:19 am

Scrabbler

Back again. 57 to tease out of this tough grid. Anyone have a list?

11:20 am

Haz1558

Maybe I've just forgotten ever encountering some of these words before, but there seem to be a lot of unusual ones.

11:20 am

Haz1558

Scrabbler, Nononanette has Volley's list on her profile.

11:21 am

Vicuna

I've only done my once-through, so this is always the point when things get hard.

11:21 am

Patxxx

How odd that we can enter quite a number of relatively unknown abreviations of various organisations yet YMCA is not allowed! I expect YMCA is know in most countries. The fact that I have time to worry about trivialities such as this means the grid is beating me.

11:22 am

Scrabbler

Aha, TY, Haz. Volley's profile is closed so I didn't know where else to go.

11:22 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Scrabbler.

11:23 am

Vicuna

Hmmm... I can't think of any accepted abbreviations of organizations. The only acronyms I can think of function as real words, such as scuba and sonar.

11:24 am

Patxxx

What about the second aa word?

11:24 am

sallyds

I tried the firesign url and was faced at once with large black letters saying FORBIDDEN. Scary. ;)

11:24 am

PMS

List also in Babblers Anonymous

11:25 am

Vicuna

lol - sure enough! I assumed that must have an actual word meaning, but perhaps not!

11:25 am

Patxxx

Sorry Vicuna, forgot to address you. Does the second aa word have a meaning other than an acronym?

11:26 am

Patxxx

Ta Vicuna.

11:27 am

Scrabbler

OK, I printed the list. BabAnon didn't have it earlier today.

11:27 am

Vicuna

No worries, Patxxx. Just checked OED, and its apparently a plant, although given as capitalized, so it shouldn't count anyway. First rule of Babble: no one can fathom the mysterious ways of Enable!

11:29 am

Scrabbler

So what is aa4/5? I have the aa4/4.

11:29 am

Patxxx

Thank you vm Vicuna. I hadn't realised that scuba and sonar were actually abreviations but should have.

11:29 am

Vicuna

Just shrug and start dancing *Y-M-C-A! It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A-A...*

11:29 am

Scrabbler

*doing arm motions*

11:30 am

Haz1558

aa4/5 - sighs of relief when you finish this grid

I guess that's the question, eh, Pat? When does a borrowing get to count as English? If most native English speakers don't even think of it as a borrowing, then clearly it's full-fledged English. How many native English speakers who say "ciao" think they're speaking English?

It is beneath adolescents + young adults to flip burgers, you know. Well, that's what my friend's college daughter says. She wants a "fulfilling" job. So spoiled.

My friend's daughter will not work at a fast food place or coffee shop. She truly wants something fulfilling but doesn't understand that she just needs to make money and keep going to school.

Hi all -- just dropping in before lunch. It's been so windy here that all ferries have been cancelled. I was supposed to have an appointment with a plastic surgeon to have a basal cell carcinoma on my chin removed, but it was postponed (for the second time) and now I have to wait until April because the doc is going away for 2 weeks. Gaaah!

2:34 pm

Yay Sue.

2:34 pm

Aw, Jill, that stinks.

Well, at least I can do some more babbling (after lunch). 59 to go.

Uno. Geez, I had never planned to finish this miserable grid. SO many odd words.

2:37 pm

Scrabbler

Grrr, frog cousin was last word.

2:37 pm

cybernan

hi jill -- my husband is trying something new -- chop up an eggplant put it in a jar and cover it with vinegar. Give it a shake everytime you go to the fridge. After 3 days strain the eggplant out, dip a cotton ball in the vinegar solution and tape it to the basal cell with surgical tape. Change the dressing 2 x/day - basal cell should (might?) clear up in 3 weeks time.

2:37 pm

How do I ever give clues for the many non-words?

2:38 pm

jillibus

No, bichon -- this was supposed to have been done before my (now cancelled) trip to Australia on March 6, and I would have had to wait months for Moh's. Ironic! I have had to wait months now for a mere excision with the available-earlier doc.

2:39 pm

sorry to hear about all this aggravation for you.

hihi 76 to go here. dunno how much longer I can go with no list.

jill - did you see my note at 2:37?

2:39 pm

jillibus

nan, I don't think that would work in this case -- the thing is barely visible and fairly extensive -- just a pinkish area but biopsy said bcc.

2:39 pm

something to try in the meantime!

ty jilli...I'm not quite ready to list - kids are coming home any minute anyway.

2:42 pm

cybernan

of course, he will go to see the doc again as soon as we get back to BC, but is trying this in the meantime. Google eggplant + basal cell, or melanoma and you should come up with the info

2:45 pm

Sounds like a column in the newspaper "The People's Pharmacy"

2:46 pm

Thanks, nan, will check it out.

hi hurshy!

4:40 pm

Hi Hursh, how are you feeling?

4:41 pm

hurshy

not great

4:41 pm

MollyL

: (

4:41 pm

uusue2

what's the matter, hurshy?

4:42 pm

hurshy

nasty mean cold, and forgot to take psych med yesterday, result: excess anxiety

4:42 pm

uusue2

bummer, hurshy!

4:43 pm

hurshy

it's really weird, even when you KNOW it's irrational and result of not taking meds and that it will go away and everything... i guess it takes some edge off but you really just can't talk it away

4:44 pm

hurshy

that may have sounded wrong and was not meant to denigrate the use of talk therapy

4:44 pm

mab

been there

4:44 pm

uusue2

no, I get it, hurshy, have tried both and still haven't decided which really works, if anything does

4:45 pm

hurshy

i like my talk therapy i meant more talking MYSELF out of feelings

4:45 pm

hurshy

hey mab!

4:46 pm

uusue2

ah, that has never worked for me either, hurshy, at least not for any extended length of time

4:49 pm

MollyL

I guess it depends on which are the dominant voices in your head.

4:49 pm

hurshy

i feel so sure i will get breast cancer someday. probably in the next 5 years.

4:49 pm

bichon

I've found that SSRI's really take care of most of my anxiety and depression. Haven't been in talk therapy for long periods of time

4:49 pm

bichon

Why do you say that hursh. Do you have the BRCCA mutation

4:50 pm

hurshy

my sister in law and another friend both have it and both had kids late, and i have no kids, and both of those similarly give you an increased risk

4:50 pm

hurshy

no i don't know anything about my genes

4:50 pm

uusue2

well, my sister had kids early and got breast cancer; it's a small indicator of risk but certainly not definitive

4:50 pm

bichon

Yes, but it's only a slight risk. Not as much as if you have the BRACCA mutation

4:51 pm

hurshy

i know i just feel like i will get it cause i'm so afraid of getting cancer

4:51 pm

hurshy

it's not rational

4:51 pm

uusue2

I went through a period of panicking about breast cancer (since my sister had it, and my mother had ovarian cancer), but have mostly relaxed about it now

4:51 pm

hurshy

i wouldn't mind if you could just get it and that was it. it's the treatments i'm afraid of.

4:51 pm

bichon

If you let yourself dwell on it Hurshy, it will feed your anxiety

4:52 pm

MollyL

I agree with Bich. Why not dwell on not getting it.

4:52 pm

bichon

I've been tested for the mutation as a number of people in my family have had the mutation and cancer. But, since I don't have the mutation, I feel much better. And, I have a yearly mammogram

4:52 pm

uusue2

it helped me a little to calculate what my expected risk was (although in the absence of genetic testing it was a bit of a crap shoot)

4:53 pm

hurshy

i was just giving an example of the irrational anxieties.

4:53 pm

bichon

I find myself less anxious now that I have dogs and I exercise a lot

4:53 pm

mab

the odds are, of course, against you becoming ill. My sister was diagnosed last April with stage III. The tx was not pleasant, but it wasn't horrid either. today she is cancer free.

4:53 pm

crosshair

both are good for anxiety

4:54 pm

uusue2

and if it were as easy as just not dwelling on it, I'm sure Hurshy wouldn't be - went through a lot of that myself, it's not something you can stop especially if it's not rationally based

4:54 pm

hurshy

yeah usually i'm fine it's just being sick and missing a dose and all that.

4:54 pm

uusue2

((((hurshy)))))

4:55 pm

bichon

If I miss a dose or two, I get very dizzy, which feeds into other things. Try not to do it..but

4:55 pm

hurshy

on the bright side, co5/24 is a nice word to have in the grid

4:55 pm

mab

you are simply not yourself right now hurshy. keep reminding yourself that there is no point in worrying about something that may never happen.

4:55 pm

ca6/21 pls?

4:55 pm

and as all know in here ,i have had cancer three times,my da has had cancer twice,my granpa died of cancer and me mum died of cancer in 91 (((hursy))) my da and i are now cancer free.worrying about what may be is like emptying the ocean with a tea spoon

MollyL

Sorry, I guess I should just hush. I didn't mean to imply that not dwelling on things was easy.

4:59 pm

hurshy

((molly))

4:59 pm

bichon

I find that if I exercise [mostly power walking with the dogs] my body release natural anti-anxiety

5:00 pm

hurshy

different things are easy for different people that's for sure. my sister called me up one time to ask me to explain to her why children disobey. she was a very compliant child so she doesn't understand why her kids don't have as strong a drive to please her. :)

5:00 pm

crosshair

i do not know about anxiety,but i do know about facing death,on many levels and like bichon says,you need a nice energetic outlet and live for the person you are now..and i will shut up ,but i offer this because i care

5:01 pm

hurshy

i felt like trying to explain this was like trying to explain different colors to a person born blind

5:01 pm

bichon

that was sweet crossy

5:01 pm

bichon

i understand hurshy. I am a worrisome sort, by nature

5:01 pm

mab

i wish i were vulcan. wouldn't it be nice to always be logical?

5:02 pm

hurshy

yes mab - but they do have to work for that control!

5:02 pm

it would be interesting to have a book that featured vulcan mental illness.

5:02 pm

(((hurshy))) I have been there, it is hard to explain to people (I had a particularly nasty ex who didn't understand why I couldn't just "cheer up" when I was profoundly depressed)

5:04 pm

hurshy

yes, vulcan history is very violent, more than ours. so that is why surak developed the non-emotional path of logic and people followed him to avoid the self-annihilation of the race. by kirk/spock time, as they grow up, they have to learn to control their emotions.

5:04 pm

uusue2

however - I had better grade some more papers 0

5:05 pm

uusue2

(apologies for the extraneous 0. My computer has been acting up lately)

5:06 pm

I didn't know that.

ah well any time you want a brief xenohistory chat, i'm your gal

5:09 pm

jillibus

flosey -- I saw you had a power outage -- I didn't, but had to cancel my surgery in Duncan -- ferries not running -- now it will not be until April 10 -- surgeon going away for 2 weeks!

5:09 pm

hurshy

almost probably being the key word there

5:09 pm

flosey

5:11 pm

jillibus

jillibus

5:23 pm

flosey

they were mid teens when they started a couple of years ago

5:23 pm

hurshy

saw an ep of murder she wrote today where jessica says, "i hate to put a damper on this conversation with rationality". i hope someday i find an appropriate place to work that line in.

5:23 pm

mab

ooh. thanks

5:23 pm

flosey

lol, young hunks jilli

5:23 pm

jillibus

I think I've seen them

5:24 pm

flosey

good line hurshy

5:24 pm

jillibus

I often watch PBS so may catch them

5:24 pm

mab

i watch murder she wrote when i need comforting. angela lansbury is so solidly down to earth in that show.

5:25 pm

flosey

I have it on my notice board so I don't forget

5:25 pm

hurshy

yeah i admire jessica fletcher a lot

5:25 pm

flosey

I always loved Angela Lansbury

5:25 pm

jillibus

there was a lot of chog talk about rationality a little while ago

5:25 pm

mab

she's so self sufficient

5:25 pm

flosey

yes mab

5:26 pm

hurshy

one time i had a friend suggest that maybe my anxiety and nightmares were related to reading/watching a lot of murder mysteries. lol. yesterday i watched an animal planet show about cute kittens, called "too cute" . i proceeded to have a nightmare last night that i had too many kittens to look after. woke up sweating.

5:28 pm

mab

ha! nothing is better than a p.d. james, ruth rendell, etc.

5:28 pm

hurshy

i don't think i've ever had a nightmare resulting from a murder mystery.

5:29 pm

hurshy

but my brain is clearly capable of fashioning a nightmare out of ANYTHING!

5:29 pm

mab

it must make you anxious about sleeping

5:30 pm

hurshy

well i don't have as many anymore as i did before i got on meds

5:30 pm

mab

it's a paradox - you want to avoid sleeping, but if you do you become more distressed

5:31 pm

crosshair

i do not think what you read is to blame,i read read more books ,on more topics,some of which would make your toe hair curl:)

5:31 pm

hurshy

indeed, crossy.

5:31 pm

mab

toe hair?

5:32 pm

crosshair

sorry part hobbit ya know

5:32 pm

5:34 pm

flosey

I'm going to give up for a while, hopefully come back with clearer head

5:34 pm

hurshy

5:34 pm

flosey

oh crossy, that must have been devastating

5:34 pm

crosshair

5:35 pm

crosshair

5:35 pm

5:36 pm

I just finished an amusing mystery by Brit writer L.C. Tyler called "The Herring in the Library", featuring Ethelred (a "third-rate mystery writer") and Elsi (his agent). No gore.

5:42 pm

A young lady recently said she couldn't drink milk because she had had a "liver cleansing". I said too bad -- it's such a good source of calcium, and she replied that milk doesn't have much calcium anyway.

5:55 pm

crosshair

a liver clensing?

5:55 pm

jillibus

Quackery is rampant on this island.

5:55 pm

crosshair

lol,did she send it out for a wash and wax?

5:55 pm

uusue2

Believe me, it's not limited to your island, jilli!

5:56 pm

jillibus

Indeed -- "liver cleansing". Ridiculous.

5:56 pm

crosshair

6:00 pm

jillibus

sprite -- what does the tiny writing in your icon say?

6:01 pm

sprite

it says: Buddha, please help me accept the humans the way they are.

6:01 pm

uusue2

just read your profile about the icon themes, sprite, now I feel bad :-(

6:01 pm

jillibus

ah -- wonderful, sprite!

6:01 pm

uusue2

and my cats accept me only with great reluctance...

6:02 pm

sprite

don't feel bad, uusue. It was time to let it go, too few people enjoyed it and even fewer contributed.

6:02 pm

sprite

I love that cat. The way it looks at the buddha... priceless

6:03 pm

uusue2

ah well - it was the existence of the themes that got me started on putting up the astronomy picture of the day as my icon - perhaps I'll put a little homage in my profile...

6:04 pm

sprite

I always enjoyed your astronomy pics, uusue. I even subscribed to that site for a while. Very beautiful pics.

6:04 pm

uusue2

it brings out the teacher in me, too (although that is not hard to do!) :-)

6:04 pm

jillibus

sue, I count 5 do 5/14s in jac's list and I only have 4

6:05 pm

6:06 pm

crosshair

i am sorry for your icons sprite::( some things catch on,some do not..speaking of which it is now time for crossy,s quote of the day!!!

6:06 pm

crosshair

If atheism is to be used to express the state of mind in which God is identified with the unknowable, and theology is pronounced to be a collection of meaningless words about unintelligible chimeras, then I have no doubt, and I think few people doubt, that atheists are as plentiful as blackberries... - Leslie Stephen (1832-1904), literary essayist, author

6:06 pm

uusue2

that's a do5/12, jax

6:06 pm

JaxH

Hi everyone

6:06 pm

6:07 pm

crosshair

((sprite))

6:07 pm

uusue2

6:08 pm

sprite

6:08 pm

crosshair

what do you think of clive barkers works i sent you sprite? a little dark and gloomy is he not.he reminds me much of H.P Lovecraft or August Dearlth

6:08 pm

sprite

I love clive! Very rewarding reading.

6:08 pm

uusue2

ok, now I have all the d words. Still only four do5/14. There is also a da5/14.

6:09 pm

sprite

yeah, a bit gloomy, but not too much. Not hopeless. Just... dark.

6:09 pm

MollyL

Changing icons every day is more than most people want to fool with. How about icon theme of the week? Or month? If someone else want's to take it on. I'm sure Sprite is ready to hand off the baton.

6:09 pm

jillibus

don't worry about letting me down, sprite -- as you know, I saw this coming ages ago.

6:09 pm

crosshair

he came to my brothers store for a book signing about ten years ago.drank an entire bottle of whiskey but was pleasant and stayed for over 12 hours

6:10 pm

sprite

I was happy with your email, jilli, so I could let it go now. Babbler and I have done a good job for quite a lot of years!

6:10 pm

sprite

wow crossy

6:11 pm

crosshair

he says he was drunk or stoned for most of his books of blood writing

6:11 pm

sprite

it is all in my profile, Molly

6:11 pm

hego

Hi Gang! : )

6:11 pm

jillibus

sprtie, you exceeded Babbler in your efforts -- at least she got lots of suggestions from other babblers and you had to dream up so much yourself.

6:11 pm

sprite

yeah... I think I knew that, crossy. He travels a lot on that dark side. But he can tell about it. Quite well.

6:11 pm

sprite

Hego! :D

6:11 pm

6:26 pm

Kaplan the Magne

but it was actually John Wayne Gacey's home town.

6:26 pm

uusue2

6:27 pm

cosdem

i do have a theory on the fingerprints though!

6:27 pm

cosdem

lol jill --- darn i have that already.

6:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I started thinking about the premise when I was sitting with a client-and wondering whether I was dreaming...

6:51 pm

MollyL

I do, but I think most people are going to find it too tiresome to follow. A lot of people bailed on LOST because of that same reason.

6:51 pm

hego

<<<<loves Netflix

6:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

and I actually felt disoriented for a moment.

6:52 pm

uusue2

I only have very basic cable, and only because internet + very basic cable is cheaper than internet alone from Comcast. Go figure.
