12:39 am

12:42 am

cosdem

cant really watch them here.all time delayed

12:42 am

cosdem

stupid nbc

12:44 am

mab

somewhere on line one can watch in real time. it's without commentary though. each entity that broadcasts it puts in its own chatter.

12:50 am

jillibus

it's time delayed here too -- we get NBC as well as CTV plus a bunch of others but it's been a busy day for me so I'm just sticking with the Canadian channel that's easiest.

12:50 am

jillibus

real time would be almost in the middle of the night here.

12:51 am

jillibus

miner miners

12:51 am

12:56 am

jillibus

I had bridge here this afternoon -- no chance to watch but am catching up now

12:57 am

mab

i'm extremely non athletic. do yoga though.

12:58 am

jillibus

I used to swim competitively -- long, long ago

1:01 am

Angelsong

hi, all. my daughter's surgery went well. she is sore, but healing, and she is home.

1:01 am

mab

oh that's interesting. swimming is a great sport.

1:02 am

firefly779

What kind of surgery Angel?

1:02 am

mab

well that's good news, angel.

1:02 am

jillibus

hi angel -- didn't know about your daughter's surgery -- what was it for?

1:02 am

firefly779

Jillibus, that's neat you used to swim competively!

1:04 am

mab

jilli has the most interesting life.

1:05 am

jillibus

I was just a child and would have loved to continue, but did too much moving around. Did race in the late 1960s ater years of not doing so, and almost beat an Olympic swimmer.

1:06 am

jillibus

Had a great coach in Shanghai!

1:08 am

mab

i'm reading a book about an englishman who was orphaned while living in shanghai, was returned to england, and now is wondering what happened really to his parents.

1:09 am

mab

Kazuo Ishiguro's 'When We Were Orphans'

1:09 am

mab

one of my favorite authors

1:09 am

jillibus

What time period was that boook set in?

1:11 am

mab

oh, i forgot to say. let's see... he is fresh from cambridge and it's about 1930.

1:12 am

jillibus

Fresh from Cambridge? But wasn't he orphaned as a chile? I'm confused.

1:13 am

jillibus

*child

1:13 am

mab

he was sent back to england as a child to live with an aunt.

1:14 am

carolamaya

Angel, what kind of surgery did your daughter have?

1:14 am

mab

after his parents vanish

1:14 am

jillibus

Well, I was there in 1930 (age 3). There was a war between the Chinese and Japanese in 1933ish.

1:15 am

grannyrose

hello, and peach? angel's daughter had an appendicectomy last night

1:15 am

jillibus

oh, I see ow. Is this a true story?

1:15 am

jillibus

*now (I'm tired!)

1:16 am

carolamaya

Hi there, Rose. Thanks for the info....will put her on prayer list.

1:16 am

mab

I'm sorry, not being clear. He is a young adult in the 1930s in London.

1:16 am

mab

no, a novel.

1:16 am

jillibus

thanks, granny -- glad angel's daughter is okay now. Appendectomies are rare these days, aren't they? And much safter than they used to be before antibiotics.

1:17 am

mab

he is reflecting back on when he was a child in shanghai.

1:17 am

grannyrose

she's already on mine, lol. and how are all my babble friends. i'm sorry for not paying a lot of attention to the chog....but this grid is fantastic, flowing so well

1:17 am

jillibus

I should get that book, mab!

1:17 am

mab

he's a very interesting writer.

1:18 am

grannyrose

jilli, they are as numerous as usual, at least where i work. and as you say, with the AB's available nowadays, so much safer

1:19 am

mab

i have no appendix. it's a mystery.

1:19 am

jillibus

I'll google him, mab.

1:20 am

jillibus

Wow, mab -- you're unique.

1:20 am

mab

he was born in japan, but has been in england most of his life.

1:21 am

jillibus

Interesting, mab!

1:21 am

mab

a freak of nature.

1:21 am

mab

he wrote Remains of the Day, which was made into a movie.

1:21 am

jillibus

over halfway with nbt and nbs so I can go to bed.

1:22 am

jillibus

any time you want I'm about to get up now

2:20 am

mari

2:21 am

rubyfoo

if something is broken (re Don and Burt), can't you tell right away? I figured if B. could make it up the st***, nothing was broken.

2:22 am

KatieMcG

fantastic, I'll put the kettle on :)

2:23 am

grannyrose

well, when i st6 fractured my ankle years ago, although it was painful, the xrays didn't show anything. Dr thinks Don may have fractured his tibial plateau, and may need to wear a splint for about 6 weeks.

2:24 am

rubyfoo

aaarghh, that's bad timing!

2:24 am

grannyrose

but the bathroom is starting to look fantastic. the new floor tiling is done. and the af5 mentioned handbasin is installed.

2:25 am

rubyfoo

besides looking good, is it usable?

2:25 am

rubyfoo

fors

2:26 am

grannyrose

hey, mother mac will just have to pull her horns in, won't she? and her daughter might just have to take over her care for a few weeks....and in the process find out what Don and i go through everyday, 24/7

2:26 am

rubyfoo

that sounds sensible and fa**!

2:26 am

grannyrose

oh, yes, ruby. the shower is a dream. with the new plumbing we have great water-pressure

2:28 am

grannyrose

just a bit of sanding to walls and ceiling, paint, and plumb the new toilet and bath in. and we are done. been a long 2 years. but worth it.

2:30 am

rubyfoo

great grid but no 8's or 9's

6:43 am

kje

done packing at home - need to finish up at work. movers arrive at the house in the morning, then will need to clean the place tomorrow night. I will check out with HR Tuesday and wrap final stuff up. Pick up my check Wednesday then hit the road, I hope, if all goes without incident

6:44 am

kje

moving is stressful - I must remember not to do this again

6:44 am

kje

or at least, to take more time off next time if I do

6:44 am

Time to renew, I agree

9:14 am

crosshair

was getting tired of those small evil grids

9:14 am

Trifioso

i agree, crossy, though I have never really thought of it.....you are completely right

9:15 am

crosshair

anything more that that and it turns into an endurance race of adding every ending you can think of to a word

9:15 am

Trifioso

speaking of rain - watching the olympic womens bicycle race in absolutely pounding rain. poor ladies!

9:16 am

crosshair

i bet they prefer it to searing heat

9:16 am

Trifioso

i suppose, but it is lashing into their eyes - that can't be good

9:16 am

crosshair

no,a good manager would of had goggles for them

9:17 am

Trifioso

yes, of course, but trust me, they look MISERABLE

9:18 am

redturtlehead

I think they would prefer the heat, those wet roads are sooo dangerous.

9:18 am

crosshair

i have been perusing the highlights on cnn.com but we really do not turn the tv on much here anymore

9:18 am

Trifioso

a canadian just ate it, crossy....

9:18 am

I have to admit, I am a little bit..interested in the Olympic events.

9:19 am

crosshair

mm,yes,i see your point

9:19 am

crosshair

we do not want any injuries

9:19 am

redturtlehead

The wet is very dangerous, for cyclists, I bet the runners will love it, if it still is raining.

9:19 am

redturtlehead

ther marathon runners, that is, not the sprinters.

9:19 am

crosshair

remember that poor guy on the luge last winter olymics..horrifying

9:20 am

Trifioso

sprite and I decided the other day that we would absolutely get the gold medal in "women's snarky comments"

9:20 am

crosshair

yes,the runners will indeed

9:20 am

Trifioso

I would also medal in "over analyzing" and "worrying over stuff that will never happen"

9:20 am

redturtlehead

This weekend I am getting a medal in Napping.

9:20 am

crosshair

lol,go for it ladies i will keep track and award points

9:21 am

Trifioso

I might do okay in "sitting on fat ass reading" but I know I would have a LOT of competition. I have training in procrastination and loafing also

9:21 am

my mrs(her indian name is shops with a fist) gets a gold in emptying my wallet:)

9:22 am

"shops with a fist" full of cash, I assume....

9:23 am

crosshair

she is the olny person who can go in for one item and spend over 100 dollars but she can also have a full weekly list and spend less that she did on the one item outing the day before...crossy is puzzled

9:23 am

Trifioso

humpf. if you can rip something, why can't you rerip it?

9:40 am

redturtlehead

I;ve never cycled that long, but sadly I have run that long...

9:40 am

rubyfoo

sadly, I think that's wonderful. My longest was one hour, 10 mins

9:41 am

rubyfoo

meant "sadly?" I think it's great that you could run that long, red

9:41 am

redturtlehead

My butt is sore today as I got the bright idea to do my long run on hills....

9:41 am

rubyfoo

(eats shoots and leaves)

9:42 am

Shirlockc

yeah, that's awesome red

9:42 am

redturtlehead

I found the road race interesting, as there were so many leaders at so many different points.

9:42 am

redturtlehead

I guess. I think it also means I am a little boring. Every week the office girls ask what I did on the weekend...its always the same answert..

9:43 am

rubyfoo

there's nothing boring about running!

9:43 am

rubyfoo

I'll bet you look a lot better than they do!

9:43 am

redturtlehead

there is when you use a treadmill...but even that is not so bad..

9:43 am

doseffing

... as long as you do ... and enjoy doing it ... and especially if you do it well ... .. who cares what they think?

9:44 am

rubyfoo

my husband took a header off his treadmill this week, I think it's safer in the street!

9:44 am

redturtlehead

Oh I dont care, I kind of feel funny though trying to explain it to them. Better than the movies..

9:44 am

redturtlehead

Oooh RUby, I have a video for you!

9:45 am

rubyfoo

cam you send a link to my e-mail?

9:45 am

9:47 am

rubyfoo

I ony have 2 ce5/12's (not those?)

9:48 am

redturtlehead

I still have to download wonder dog since he got his haircut.

9:48 am

I almost fell off the TM this week too ruby, trying to rest during speed work. Found it easier to just walk rather than hop on and off the edge of the mill.

9:49 am

rubyfoo

12:36 pm

Dorens

ty molly, good clue and right on time

MollyL

Woo hoo! Dorens has a date!

Dorens

we'll see... if he is smart and doesn't know much about it, he will defer to me. If he is a fool, then he will order badly (but this place has nice wines... even a decent $25 and under list) I don't really even know all that much, I just know what i like

12:39 pm

MollyL

Don't ask me how that is done.

12:39 pm

peri, if you want a date.... get out there and make yourself known. join eharmony or match or some such. you might not find prince charming, but you can find at least one date

12:40 pm

Dorens

yes it does... we'll see. have enjoyed him on the phone but i know he really isn't "my type"... we'll see

12:41 pm

rururocks

Type - smype

12:41 pm

periwinkle

bbl

12:41 pm

rururocks

it's always worth a try

12:41 pm

Dorens

he's more "jewish" than I... but can find out more in person

12:41 pm

rururocks

mrs ru tried to get rid of me for years

12:42 pm

Dorens

i will at least have a nice dinner at a place I've missed lately. male company is good for me... even tho i don't seem to be able to stand any one person for long term

12:42 pm

Dorens

(don't think she tried very hard, did she?)

12:43 pm

rururocks

she did.. she kept pawning me off on her friends trying to dump me...:)

12:43 pm

Dorens

lol, ru

12:43 pm

rururocks

I, however, am a terrific salesperson.. and won out in the end

12:44 pm

MollyL

Too bad I'm not allowed to make a "dropped her nail file" comment.

12:45 pm

Dorens

well, i have only five minutes left here, then please kick me out. I need to straighten up in case he comes back here after dinner. I have a lightbulb in the bedroom that needs changing and i can't do it myself... (HONEST) I don't really want him in my bedroom at all. + the bedroom is a mess of piles of books, magazines, bills, cataloges, clothes and not at all neat. so this is my motivation to straighten up

12:45 pm

Dorens

you will never forget that joke, will you molls? (me neither... )

12:46 pm

rururocks

oh.. how many therapists does it take to replace a lightbulb?

12:46 pm

MollyL

Ha! What a line. "Can you help me change a light bulb in my bedroom?" Eyelash bat, eyelash bat.

12:46 pm

Dorens

please tell me, and if you remember the one about the kids with ADHD I've been trying to remember that one for years now

12:47 pm

rururocks

4 ... one to do it and three to discuss its ramifications

12:47 pm

Dorens

ok, so i will continue to have a dimly lit bedroom, and try to ask the cleaning lady to help me when she comes, I really cannot do it myself

12:48 pm

rururocks

really?

12:48 pm

Dorens

ok that is good.. the ADHD kids one was better (but of course i don't remember the answer!!!)]

12:48 pm

rururocks

I'm the chief lightbulb changer around these parts

12:49 pm

Dorens

it is a three bulb one, and taking down the cover from the ceiling is very tricky. i am sure i'll screw it up, it is far easier to open one or two of the clips and hold it while changing the bulbs..

12:49 pm

MollyL

The punch line to that joke is...lets ride bikes.

12:49 pm

Dorens

of course you are ru, that is one of the things men are good for.

12:49 pm

Dorens

that would be a good one molly, but there was one that was really hilarious, and i can't remember ..

12:49 pm

rururocks

I don't know the ADHD jokes

12:51 pm

rururocks

Did I just ask about them?

12:51 pm

Dorens

i don't know, did you? (presinility joke here)

12:51 pm

Dorens

sEnility

12:52 pm

uusue2

mmmmm - the peaches are ripe!

12:52 pm

rururocks

early dinner? or late one?

12:53 pm

Dorens

early -- 5:00

12:53 pm

rururocks

whoa

12:53 pm

rururocks

that is early

12:53 pm

Dorens

i've been feasting on peaches daily... juicy, the kind that you need to eat over the sink

12:53 pm

rururocks

does he have to watch 60 minutes or something

12:53 pm

Dorens

i called it.... at first it was going to be lunch, but since he told me to pick the place, i picked one that no longer has sunday brunch.. it opens at 4 -- i figured it would be ok

12:54 pm

uusue2

These are quite juicy and nice, from my own tree

12:54 pm

uusue2

and good luck on your date, dorens!

12:55 pm

Dorens

so i asked him if dinner would be okay, after all it is a first date and i prefer coffee rather than a meal, but since we know lots of folks in common (the wrong ones, unfortunately), and enjoyed a few phone conversations, i figure i can handle him for more than an hour. hope i'm right. thanks sue

12:55 pm

rururocks

*wonders if he'll be able to screw in a lightbulb*

12:55 pm

Dorens

i'm not sure i will ask him at this point!

12:56 pm

rururocks

lol.. probably best not too

12:56 pm

Dorens

ok ru, come one over and help me out then.

12:56 pm

MollyL

Can't you just imagine the SCORE look on his face? Invited into the bedroom on a first date.

12:58 pm

Dorens

haha, we've spoken enough that i think he would know that i mean it's a light bulb and nothing more. Plus, i am known for being kind of blunt... i didn't think it would be a problem, but i'm glad we discussed it here so I know not to do it,

12:59 pm

rururocks

good plan

12:59 pm

Dorens

thanks ru. some day maybe i will tell him about it for a good laugh

12:59 pm

Dorens

meanwhile, i'll suffer in darkness

1:00 pm

rururocks

ROFL

1:01 pm

rururocks

*wipes coffee off computer screen*

1:01 pm

Dorens

all right, so i used to be NONFAT and now i'm MOREFAT and neither of these words are acceptable.

1:02 pm

Dorens

ru, if you're on when i come back tonite i'll fill you in on the grim details

1:02 pm

rururocks

what about prefat

1:02 pm

uusue2

it will take nonfat, it's just not in the grid

1:02 pm

MollyL

<--Was going to offer to send Dorens a lamp, but the suffer in darkness line was too good.

1:02 pm

Dorens

no not NONfat.. i mean PREFAT

1:02 pm

rururocks

oh okay.. But I do hope you have fun.

1:02 pm

Dorens

remember, I am jewish... even if i don't feel or act like it

1:03 pm

uusue2

true about the prefat though (a condition I was in only to about age 38 when I got pregnant for the first time)

1:03 pm

Dorens

thanks ru. i will have fun, no question about it. i am in such an UP mood. good harbinger

1:03 pm

Dorens

oh i was prefat till post menopause (don't count pregnant as fat)

1:03 pm

uusue2

good for you, dorens!

1:04 pm

rururocks

pregnant isn't fat

1:04 pm

uusue2

pregnant is fat if you gain 80 pounds and never lose it

1:04 pm

MollyL

What is it with menopause? We get rid of one problem and gain (excuse the pun) another one.

1:05 pm

rururocks

I don't think I could survive another round of menopause over here

1:05 pm

Dorens

that's the post pregnant fat then, sue. i gained 50. but lost it (and believe it or not, i had wanted to keep ten or so... i was underweight until my thirties)

1:05 pm

rururocks

I felt like I had a starring role in the exorcist

1:05 pm

Dorens

i didn't have much trouble with it... it is the POST menopause weight gain that bothers me, and that is NOT temporary

1:05 pm

uusue2

well, whatever you want to call it, it's been with me since about age 38, and it has overstayed its welcome.

1:06 pm

rururocks

i haven't found one word in ten minutes

1:06 pm

uusue2

but meanwhile I found a 9 all by myself and have nbs.

1:06 pm

Dorens

did Mrs RU have lots of PMS too? my theory is that they go together... i didn't pms and didn't have a lot of trouble with menopause (a few hotflashes, not a lot, and no huge mood swings)

1:06 pm

uusue2

same here, dorens

1:07 pm

rururocks

yes

1:07 pm

Dorens

ok... some hormonal thing. my sister got all those hormones in our family and i got none. but i did manage to reproduce (and she didn't)

1:10 pm

crosshair

my mrs had a full radical hysterectomy 5 years ago and it was tough.they put her on all kinds of hormone pills,that they found out the pills were more dangerous thatn leaving her alone

1:11 pm

uusue2

ah - when I had the same surgery they put me on nothing due to a family history of breast and ovarian cancer

1:12 pm

uusue2

however I will not go into further details as I must go get some work done (will spend all next week visiting with our ill friend, so today is the day to edit files)

6:18 pm

rururocks

sure.. he's handsome.. but can't act to save his life

6:18 pm

Bugsaw

my husband is quite deaf so he just watches and makes up his own story line. He finds it entertaining but I like movies with a storyline and good characters so when he starts talking about the movie he thinks he is watching, I can't hear what is going on. We each have a TV that we are in charge of which solves it.

6:18 pm

redturtlehead

I would like to see "The world of Timothy green or something like that.

6:18 pm

jmcnrick

I'm fa4/8d with rush hour traffic everyday.Now matter how I try to be4/6 rush hour traffic,I always get stuck in it. A day doesn't pass where I don't be 4/7 horn at somebody else. Since this is the chat log, I will ce6/21 some of the expletives I use when cursing out other drivers. It is just not fa4/7 the way others think they can drive recklessly with no regard to other drivers.It also ir4/4 me when se 6/18 citizens think they can drive slowly in the fast lane It is also rude when cops put on their si6/18 just so they can get through the traffic. By the time I get to work, I feel drained and defe4/7ed from the drive. I feel like I need to drink a be 4/6. Instead, I drink my coffee I buy at a ca 4/8 every day on the way to work. I do admi4/5 other people who can drive pe5/14fully without getting str5/10ed. I wish I could do that. I must confe4/77 that my commute is not really that bad.I embellished a little for story purposes.My hubby of mi4/5 wants the laptop. I fr4/7 what he will do if I don't give him the computer. I am going to go sit on the so 4/7 and watch the Emilio Estevez film Fr4/7jack. I hope you have se 4/4 mo 4/5 words with this story. I'll re 6/30 the chat log befo4/7 I retire for the re 4/4 of the night. Bye for now babblers!

No, hon. I guess I'm just used to seeing the peach picture....oh well.

7:35 pm

he'll surely get back to you this week if he's not on vacation or something.

7:35 pm

MollyL

Peach, maybe you are using a different email address to log in?

7:36 pm

carolamaya

Min, my computer has been hacked over and over again. I think I know who's doing it but I can't prove it....I bought a new one thinking that would help. No, I had to pay$240.00 to a company (for one year) to keep it safe....we'll see. They erased my entire email list......I'm starting over.

7:37 pm

MollyL

That's awful Peach.

7:37 pm

7:37 pm

crosshair

Minveryork

I am so sorry to hear that carolamaya!I cannot believe that buying a new computer didn't help! I hope you get it fixed!

7:38 pm

carolamaya

Yes, I heard from him and he told me to log out and then log back in and it would show the gapeach....I guess I'm doing it incorrectly.....maybe I'll try to contact him this week.

7:40 pm

MollyL

I hope you get it straightened out Peach. And shame on anyone who would cause you that much trouble.

7:40 pm

9:07 pm

jmcnrick

i have had some fun with power points but then mine are mainly pictures and not lists that i read

9:07 pm

MollyL

I don't blame you Min. I find Power Point very tedious. To work with, and to watch.

9:07 pm

Jillyjill

I do PP presentations every week during the school year.

9:08 pm

jmcnrick

everyone laughs all the way through my powerpoints

9:08 pm

Minveryork

Do you do the PowerPoints for the students or staff Jillyjill?

9:09 pm

Jillyjill

I have learned to jazz mine up. Teenagers are brutal!

9:09 pm

MollyL

I've heard some great jokes about meetings with power point presentations. Most of them having to do with napping.

9:09 pm

Minveryork

That means U must have extremly interesting PP jmcnrick.

9:09 pm

wvteach

PP can be fun - even if i didn't show them during a presentation i would use the printed handouts - also enjoyed teaching kids how to use them in creating "choose your own adventure" kinds of stories

9:09 pm

welki

'evening folks!

9:10 pm

jmcnrick

the way to do a power point is using it to illustrate your talk. . . not substitute for it

9:10 pm

carolamaya

Hi there, welki.

9:10 pm

Jillyjill

Were you looking to add sound to a specific slide or throughout presentation?

9:10 pm

Minveryork

Hello welki! How are you doing today? Welcome to the log

9:10 pm

jmcnrick

welki! bubabla!

9:10 pm

Jillyjill

hi there welki

9:10 pm

Jillyjill

So true jmc

9:11 pm

MollyL

That is an excellent point, JMC. I wish more people would do that. Still, I'm not big on visual aids or hand outs.

9:11 pm

Minveryork

I wanted background music to play throughout slideshow.

9:11 pm

Jillyjill

Well, I deal with the generation of 2 minute sound bites...

9:11 pm

jmcnrick

well different people learn different ways and i use jokes sound bites and pictures to help people remember

9:12 pm

wvteach

being a visual learner - not an auditory learner - i remember best when visuals are provided - so i also teach that way

9:12 pm

Jillyjill

Sorry minv, I usually have mine just on one slide...but let me look...

9:12 pm

MollyL

That's good Jilly. It's also the generation of 2 minute attention spans.

9:12 pm

jmcnrick

fa6?

9:12 pm

welki

i adapt to the audience - for instance if i see that they're not looking at the pp, i go anecdota

9:12 pm

welki

and anecdotal, too

9:13 pm

welki

like a sprite

9:13 pm

MollyL

That is really the way to go Welki. I bet you get a lot of attention that way.

9:13 pm

wvteach

fa 6 x 2 - which one

9:13 pm

jmcnrick

I don't always have the ability to pick and choose since i often speak before fa**ly large groups

9:14 pm

jmcnrick

first one

9:14 pm

Minveryork

My PowerPoint is to show the work the students did this summer. The intended audience will be administrators, Fordham University consultants who worked with us,the parents, students, and teachers.It's just a slideshow,not an oral presentation. I am so glad I do not have to talk.

9:14 pm

MollyL

I think a lot depends on whether your audience is voluntary or forced.

9:14 pm

welki

depends, molly - if it's training, i have certain things i have to cover - but always, always, i try to keep things light, even icky things - i think folks remember more if the speaker is able to connect through humor

9:14 pm

jmcnrick

oh cool min!

9:15 pm

MollyL

I will come to one of your presentations any day, Welki.
: )

9:15 pm

jmcnrick

one time i spoke as part of a jazz performance and i skatted with my information. . .there were a lot of surprised people. . .

9:16 pm

welki

i'd bet that jmc and i have similar public speaking styles - if a classroom-type setting, i'd bet she round-tables, instead of standing and 'presenting'

9:16 pm

MollyL

Ella would be proud, JMC.

9:16 pm

welki

*puts on ella*

9:16 pm

welki

^5 molly

9:16 pm

Minveryork

That fa 6/27 word sounds like what Tinker Bell is jmcnrick

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

no no i lean more in the direction of presenting. . .but i have activities too

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

actually it is what tinkerbell is

9:18 pm

MollyL

I was at a meeting last week where we had to get into groups, name our group and solve a problem that was on a hand out. I wanted to barf.

9:19 pm

jmcnrick

yeah i have limited patience for the group method. . . interestingly the international students don't like it either

9:19 pm

Jillyjill

Minv, for the future, it would be much easier to use a movie maker program, music easily is entered. In power point you will have to use custom animation.

9:19 pm

Minveryork

As slideshow, how much time should I allow for each slide before it goes to the next slide? Any suggestions?

9:19 pm

jmcnrick

how long do you have, how many slides and how complicated is what the audience is looking at?

9:20 pm

Jillyjill

5 seconds should do it...

9:20 pm

jmcnrick

(mother forgive me for my dangling participle)

9:20 pm

Minveryork

Shoot!I did 15 seconds. Some slides they have to read stuff

9:20 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...chat logs don't count jmc...

9:21 pm

MollyL

*Waits for Ru to make a comment about the dangling participle*

9:21 pm

jmcnrick

if they have to read then it should be longer. . . time yourself reading it

9:21 pm

jmcnrick

you don't know my mother. . .she had a masters in english

9:21 pm

Jillyjill

With reading it's a different story minv...watching the show yourself will tell...you can individually time each slide if you need to...time consuming..

9:22 pm

jmcnrick

but 15 seconds is pretty long

9:22 pm

Jillyjill

So did my mom jmc...

9:22 pm

Minveryork

31 slides in all. Some slides are just pictures so 15 seconds seems long and other slides they have to read. Didn't know how to set the time for individual slides. Is that possible?

9:23 pm

jmcnrick

yes that is possible min

9:23 pm

Jillyjill

yes but must be done under custom animation...a little tedious with 31 slides, but do-able

9:23 pm

jmcnrick

your audience will thank you for making it individual

9:25 pm

Minveryork

Well, it's almost 10:30 & don't feel like customizing timing

9:26 pm

MollyL

I'm sure you did a great job, Min. I hope it goes well tomorrow.

9:26 pm

Jillyjill

Just played around PP, you can cut and paste time in slot, really wouldn't take too much time..

9:26 pm

jmcnrick

well you can manually click the pictures forward so you sit there and read it then count to 4 for slow readers and click and for pictures wait 5 second and click

9:26 pm

Jillyjill

It'll be fine minv either way...

9:26 pm

jmcnrick

no need to redo

9:27 pm

Minveryork

I just went to custom animation and all the boxes are gray

9:27 pm

Jillyjill

good advice jmc

9:27 pm

jmcnrick

just take a minute tonight to practice clicking and then go to bed and don't worry about it

9:28 pm

Jillyjill

hmm...then I would select the option like JMC mentioned and do it manually..

9:28 pm

MollyL

Just reading all this, I would want to run screaming into the night if I had to do a Power Point.

9:28 pm

welki

anyone have the first pr 5/12, please?

9:28 pm

Jillyjill

I am assuming this is a one time show and not something that is played continuously

9:29 pm

MollyL

Someone who snoops, Welki.

9:29 pm

jmcnrick

sorry welki

9:29 pm

Jillyjill

pr+making the m*** out of life

9:29 pm

Jillyjill

whoops, wrong one...mea culpa

9:29 pm

Minveryork

Have it running as a loop since showcases will be set up like a science fa4/6.Everyone will be walking around fr 4/8 table to table. So some might not see the whole PP or some people may come in the middle of PowerPoint.

9:29 pm

welki

oh fer pete's sake - was looking in wrong direction .. thanks, molly

9:29 pm

welki

and jilly

9:30 pm

Jillyjill

Then manual clicking won't work... :(

9:30 pm

jmcnrick

oh well in that case don't worry about it

9:30 pm

jmcnrick

if you can easily shorten it to 10 seconds as a compromise do it and then forgidaboutit

9:31 pm

MollyL

Manual clicking, dangling participles...so many jokes to be made. : X

9:31 pm

Jillyjill

Welki, the one I struggled with was st6/18...so don't feel bad...

9:31 pm

Minveryork

Thank you for your advice everybody. We can move onto a mo4/5 interesting topic. I don't want to hog the chog with such a boring and mundane topic.

9:31 pm

jmcnrick

well done molls! hahah

9:32 pm

Jillyjill

Besides minv, most of your audience will be impressed you even did the presentation

9:32 pm

jmcnrick

hey we are all here to help each other min

9:32 pm

Minveryork

I don't think so. They do not know I had to teach myself to do PowerPoint or that it was my first PP I have ever done.

9:33 pm

Jillyjill

and they don't need to know either....lol

9:33 pm

Minveryork

That's right Jillyjill!

9:33 pm

jmcnrick

if it is 31 slides they will be impressed no matter what

9:34 pm

Jillyjill

And when someone complains in my group I just say.."good point, I'm sure I can learn a lot when you volunteer to do the next one.."

9:34 pm

Minveryork

All district cares about putting on a good show for big wigs

9:34 pm

welki

g'night, good people - long week ahead of me and things to do before it starts

9:34 pm

jmcnrick

haha jilly

9:34 pm

Jillyjill

niters welki..sweet dreams

9:34 pm

jmcnrick

bye welki

9:34 pm

MollyL

G'night Welki.

9:34 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye welki! I will see you tomorrow in the chog maybe

9:35 pm

jmcnrick

then they will be fine with it min

9:35 pm

MollyL

Let us know how your presentation goes, Min.

9:35 pm

Jillyjill

Being 54 has given me the opportunity NOT to be put off by anyone!

9:35 pm

Dorens

just wait till you hit 62!!!

9:35 pm

Minveryork

I will, thanks again! Wish you guys could see it and critique

9:36 pm

Minveryork

9:36 pm

MollyL

Af5 you get to a certain age, your "who gives a shit" meter goes full throttle.

9:37 pm

Jillyjill

Me too minv, would love to see all your hard work...you did great. I think my first one took me about 30 hours with learning the program...

9:37 pm

Jillyjill

Well, congrats jmc

9:37 pm

Dorens

"letting it all hang out" at this point

9:37 pm

Minveryork

9:37 pm

Jillyjill

Oh so true molly

9:37 pm

MollyL

*Prepares massive birthday celebration for JMC*

9:37 pm

Dorens

happy birthday (in case i don't see you then)

9:38 pm

Jillyjill

Dorens made another comment I would love to see ruru deal with! :)

9:38 pm

jmcnrick

*tries to help dorens get it back in*

9:38 pm

Dorens

ach, just don't care at this point. let it hang (easy to say when you were "tiny" at an earlier age)

9:38 pm

MollyL

Ruru is hiding behind his magic, lurker sheild.

9:38 pm

jmcnrick

i should set up a microsoft page for babblers to share files. . .

9:38 pm

o-o

I have been 61 only once.

9:39 pm

Dorens

when is the summer page done, min?

9:39 pm

jmcnrick

once is enough BR

9:39 pm

Minveryork

Hello BabbleRabble! How are you doing? Welcome to chog.

9:39 pm

Jillyjill

Once is enough for any age...

9:39 pm

Dorens

and once is enough

9:39 pm

jmcnrick

9:40 pm

Minveryork

My last day of summer school is on Tuesday thank goodness

9:40 pm

jmcnrick

70 left and i suspect that is enough

9:40 pm

o-o

Hello, Min .. I am randomly ambivalent

9:40 pm

Dorens

well, i don't know, jilly. 40 was pretty cool for me, i wouldn't mind doing thatone again

9:41 pm

jmcnrick

better than constantly ambivalent

9:41 pm

MollyL

Do you get a break before school starts, Min?

9:41 pm

jmcnrick

yes i think except for hubby dying the 40s were the best

9:42 pm

Jillyjill

*looks in rear view mirror*.... mine actually might be in my mid 20's...newly married, having kids...life full of possibillity

9:42 pm

o-o

For me, hell would be having to live my life over.

9:42 pm

jmcnrick

40s you are still strong and old enough to know what you are doing

9:42 pm

Dorens

ah, but if you lived it over, knowing what you do know..?

9:43 pm

jmcnrick

hmm sorry to hear that BR there are parts that would be hell. . .teen years come to mind

9:43 pm

o-o

I am not sure I have learned anything

9:43 pm

Jillyjill

Doing it over...maybe only thing would be to slow down...

9:43 pm

Dorens

of course you have... you are a wise man at this point

9:44 pm

jmcnrick

maybe BR was always wise

9:44 pm

Jillyjill

I would rather change my future...and hubby's....

9:44 pm

Dorens

hate to admit it, but i think wisdom often does come with age and experience

9:44 pm

rururocks

hey.. doren.. how'd it go?

9:44 pm

Minveryork

I have the first two weeks of August fr 4/7. Then I go back to work mid-August for some teacher workshops & to start planning the upcoming school year. But those are half days

9:44 pm

jmcnrick

i tend to agree dorens

9:44 pm

Jillyjill

That it does dorens

9:45 pm

o-o

Well, I would enter the world with the same genetics and live the same childhood over

9:45 pm

Minveryork

Hello rururocks!How are you doing today? Welcome to grid

9:45 pm

jmcnrick

my childhood was hell too. . . nothing worth enjoying until i was 18

9:46 pm

rururocks

hi min

9:46 pm

rururocks

<---left the friggin' lurker shield up too longh

9:46 pm

Jillyjill

JMC, we are of the same mind. following high school I left home and could be who I really was, not held by labels.

9:46 pm

Jillyjill

Boy did you ruru...

9:47 pm

Minveryork

My childhood was great! It's my adult life that has not been so wonderful. However, I wouldn't do anything over again.

9:47 pm

jmcnrick

but the 12 years with my hubby and mo** of the time with my boy i hold dearly

9:47 pm

jmcnrick

that is what you get for lurking

9:47 pm

jmcnrick

:-P to ru

9:47 pm

Jillyjill

OKay, we can all agree on this...live in the moment!

9:47 pm

Dorens

hi ru... he told me to order the wine. very nice. i had fun, i ate well, i sparkled and laughed and all that

9:47 pm

rururocks

9:48 pm

jmcnrick

9:48 pm

rururocks

9:48 pm

jmcnrick

*sits down with a glass of wine waiting*

9:48 pm

mkg

9:49 pm

o-o

I prefer figs to dates

9:49 pm

Dorens

very nice guy. maybe not exactly my type (and I might be far too opinionated to be his type) but we had fun. that's what counts

9:49 pm

rururocks

I just have one question doren

9:49 pm

Dorens

understandable babrab

9:49 pm

Minveryork

ae5/10 word has to do with a bird's nest I think mkg and hi

9:49 pm

Dorens

ok. ??? (scared to ask)

9:49 pm

jmcnrick

you had a good time so. . .type smype

9:49 pm

rururocks

DId he change your lightbulb?

9:50 pm

MollyL

*Glad I waited around for that question*

9:50 pm

jmcnrick

*holds breath*

9:50 pm

mab

lightbulb?

9:50 pm

Jillyjill

*ducks*

9:50 pm

o-o

I hope he did not think you were dim

9:50 pm

rururocks

Watt's so funny about that Molly?

9:50 pm

Dorens

hahaha! no... we stayed at the restaurant for far too long, and there was no question that he was NOT coming back to my house. but my house is in far better order than it would have been if I hadn't considered the possibility, and I'm glad for that

9:51 pm

rururocks

LOL

9:51 pm

jmcnrick

<==electrified

9:51 pm

MollyL

The socket remains unchanged.

9:51 pm

stidmama

hey doren and al

9:51 pm

Dorens

no babrab, but my bedroom is and i can't change the lightbulb myself without possibly breaking the light fixture, so there was discussion previously that i might have him change light bulb (he did work in construction many many years ago)

9:51 pm

Dorens

hi stid

9:51 pm

Jillyjill

Gotta love the chog tonight!

9:51 pm

mab

socket?

9:51 pm

Jillyjill

hi stid

9:52 pm

rururocks

her date was au current?

9:52 pm

jmcnrick

how many dates does it take to change a light bulb?

9:52 pm

Dorens

9:52 pm

rururocks

depends on how you screw it in JMC

9:52 pm

MollyL

More than one in this case.

9:52 pm

Dorens

je, only one, if it's the right one

9:53 pm

Dorens

would anyone happen to have a clue fore the fe5/18 that is eluding me at this moment

9:53 pm

jmcnrick

*sigh* that is so true dorens

9:53 pm

mab

oh that's lovely dorens

9:53 pm

stidmama

hello also BR (I see you there in the background, now).... *offers choclits to everyone*

9:53 pm

Dorens

ruru's answer was the best!! of course

9:53 pm

rururocks

no shit dorens?

9:53 pm

Dorens

stid i have always wondered this.. why are they choclits? and not chocolates

9:54 pm

Dorens

well, it was the funniest... and i have decided that laughter is uber important

9:54 pm

rururocks

that was a clue

9:54 pm

Jillyjill

ruru, great clue...

9:54 pm

Dorens

oh!! stid and ru at the same time! ru, stid thinks that i am elegant. would you please straighten her out

9:54 pm

mab

and an elegant clue it was.

9:54 pm

MollyL

Thank you Dorens. Why ARE they choclits?

9:54 pm

jmcnrick

i agree dorens

9:55 pm

rururocks

you are..

9:55 pm

rururocks

<likes to cut to the chase on clues

9:55 pm

stidmama

they are choclits because they are guilt free and always available. Unlike the other ones that make me fat(ter) and run out too quickly. Also, I never have to read the label on choclits to be sure they are safe for me...

9:56 pm

mab

clearly. too funny.

9:56 pm

o-o

constipated is not in the grid

9:56 pm

stidmama

rofl BR!

9:56 pm

Dorens

(big belly laugh here!!!!) y'all should have seen me today at the lake trying to figure out how to take the kayak paddle apart (forgot there is a button to push). Not elegant AT all

9:56 pm

Dorens

well thank you babrab, just what i was about to say

9:57 pm

stidmama

ah, but you see, an elegant woman isn't expected to know the ins and outs of breaking down kayak paddles. ;-)

9:57 pm

mkg

still cant get ae 5. welcome new clues.

9:57 pm

Dorens

ok.. was looking from the wrong f!! thanks ru good clue

9:57 pm

stidmama

I just hope you didn't lose any of your diamonds or pearls in the lake...

9:57 pm

stidmama

mkg: like the FA 6 without the F

9:57 pm

rururocks

well.. stid.. if you go up the creek....well..

9:57 pm

Jillyjill

fa6/27 minus the f

9:57 pm

jmcnrick

an eagle's ne** mkg

9:57 pm

stidmama

LOL ruru

9:58 pm

Dorens

that is the whole point stid... NOt elegant. But I did wear pearls tonight. long string knotted, vamp style... along with black flipflops (just to make sure we know I'm not elegant)

9:58 pm

jmcnrick

i disagree stiddie an elegant woman can do anything elegantly

9:58 pm

mkg

i never remember thta word for eagles nest. darn.

9:58 pm

rururocks

Black flip flops and pearls.. nice

9:58 pm

Dorens

agreed je

9:58 pm

stidmama

shabby chic, doren?

9:59 pm

Dorens

green linen sleeveless top and black slightly short pants. No, not shabby. They were leather tops (crocs tho)

9:59 pm

jmcnrick

what you breathe with a diminutive ending

9:59 pm

MollyL

*Still contemplating flip flops and pearls*

9:59 pm

jmcnrick

9:59 pm

Dorens

9:59 pm

Minveryork

9:59 pm

mkg

9:59 pm

jmcnrick

so i have a problem i need to share. . .

10:00 pm

mkg

10:00 pm

rururocks

this is like playing tennis with Stevie wonder

10:00 pm

Jillyjill

10:02 pm

jmcnrick

i am over weight but not like HUGE

10:02 pm

MollyL

Never mind me. I got so jazzed when I saw SPA I didn't see FAT

10:03 pm

Jillyjill

Believe me, I know what you mean jmc...

10:03 pm

Dorens

my feeling is that once i was there i would join (or more significantly NOT join) activities as I see fit

10:03 pm

jmcnrick

i hate massages and i hate people messing with my hair and i hate manicures and pedicures

10:03 pm

mab

it's not a gift one dreams of.

10:03 pm

Jillyjill

I agree with dorens...

10:03 pm

Jillyjill

Well then, spas are NOT your thing...

10:03 pm

jmcnrick

they do have cooking classes

10:03 pm

rururocks

Maybe truck driving school jm?

10:03 pm

grannyrose

have decided my physio is a sadist. he made me do one of my exercises( in the pool) with 2 foam noodles under my foot. all i can say is OUCH!!!!

10:04 pm

jmcnrick

and i am shy. . .so doing all this with people i don't know

10:04 pm

mkg

ty i tried it before but didnt take. now it did. ty.

10:04 pm

MollyL

I suggest a polite decline.

10:04 pm

grannyrose

but it's weird, because af5 3 or 4 the pain goes and i can go on and do 10 reps.

10:04 pm

jmcnrick

oh dear granny! no it is really not sadism

10:04 pm

mab

or gently suggest an alternative?

10:04 pm

stidmama

jmc, are group activities and such all required if you go there?

10:05 pm

mab

after all, it's your birthday, not your sister's

10:05 pm

MollyL

Would she be amenable to an ocean front room at Hilton Head, minus the spa?

10:05 pm

Dorens

there ya go, mol

10:05 pm

jmcnrick

it is mainly group things. . .i don't even take the classes at the gym where we go together

10:05 pm

stidmama

I was thinking that it might be really nice to have someone else prepare healthy meals, to have quiet and peace, and maybe a hot tub or sauna.

10:05 pm

jmcnrick

if that is all i had to do stiddie it might not be so bad

10:06 pm

stidmama

I like the idea of a different location, a different vacation, though.

10:06 pm

MollyL

The more I think about "I'd like to send you to a fat spa for your birthday" the more I don't like it.

10:06 pm

grannyrose

hey jmc, you and i are very alike. i too cannot stand someone fussing around with any part of me,. have to steel myself to sit and have my hair cut. it just drives me nuts.

10:06 pm

jmcnrick

haha she opened it with. . .please take this in the spirit in which it is being offered

10:07 pm

jmcnrick

bless her . . .it is what she would do if she were fat (which she is not)

10:07 pm

Dorens

i would always be happy to lose a couple of pounds.. if they do the cooking and provide swimming pool, exercise equipment, hot tub and pleasant atmosphere.

10:07 pm

MollyL

To which my response would be, "and exactly what spirit is it being offered in?"

10:07 pm

rururocks

maybe send her to an etiquette spa for her birthday

10:07 pm

Dorens

rofl

10:07 pm

MollyL

DING! Rue has the best idea.

10:07 pm

jmcnrick

my response was "should i run away because that is not a good opening line?"

10:07 pm

Jillyjill

Only those of us who have fought the battle should have an opinion...no one else understands

10:08 pm

jmcnrick

i am overweight i will not lie. . .but i am not horribly overweight

10:08 pm

jmcnrick

oh ru aren't you sweet

10:09 pm

MollyL

Let's just cut to the chase. It was rude. My opinion.

10:09 pm

jmcnrick

she has made it clear it is my choice

10:09 pm

grannyrose

so what would you like as a birthday gift, jmc? if you could have whatever your heart desired.

10:09 pm

stidmama

jmc, you are not obese! Me -- I am not obese either, though I could stand to lose about 30 pounds to save my joints...

10:09 pm

jmcnrick

hmmm good question granny

10:09 pm

jmcnrick

*thinking*

10:09 pm

rururocks

what happened to the nice birthday card and book thing

10:10 pm

stidmama

Would there be something else you can do that would be FUN for you that she would be willing to pay for?

10:10 pm

jmcnrick

a maid

10:10 pm

mab

ask for the cash instead.

10:10 pm

grannyrose

ha!!!! beat you all hands down. i openly admit i am morbidly obese. my BMI is/was off the scale

10:10 pm

mab

kidding

10:10 pm

jmcnrick

a book and a card would be good too

10:11 pm

jmcnrick

oh dear granny!

10:11 pm

stidmama

maybe a gift certificate to a restaurant you really like so you could get healthy food at times you are not up to cooking it for yourself?

10:11 pm

rururocks

I'd go for a French Maid

10:11 pm

Jillyjill

besides, having been through the weight loss thing, what the hell is one week going to do? She should give you something for relaxation...

10:11 pm

stidmama

oh gee grannyrose... is that why you needed the surgery?

10:11 pm

jmcnrick

no thanks for that ru! haha

10:11 pm

rururocks

...little feather duster...

10:11 pm

grannyrose

well there you are, jmc, quietly say to your sister, you know i would love a copy of whatever.

10:12 pm

Dorens

well ru, we all know what you would like

10:12 pm

rururocks

skimpy little maid outfit...

10:12 pm

rururocks

...stilettos...

10:12 pm

jmcnrick

(dont forget the stilletoes ru)

10:12 pm

jmcnrick

hahahahah

10:12 pm

mab

we all are familiar with the general idea, ru

10:12 pm

rururocks

ROFL

10:12 pm

grannyrose

stiddy, i needed the surgery on my knee because i had no cartilage left, in any facet. my weight probably helped with it's degeneration

10:13 pm

stidmama

rofl... I think a cabana boy would be nice instead

10:13 pm

jmcnrick

i think the real problem is she is not working and therefore she is focused on me

10:13 pm

mab

yes, stid. perfect!

10:13 pm

rururocks

I have to run for a bit.. thanks for the laughs.

10:13 pm

jmcnrick

hmmm i wonder how much a cabana boy would cost

10:13 pm

stidmama

I am glad you could at least get the surgery, but so sorry that you needed it.

10:13 pm

jmcnrick

bye ru

10:13 pm

stidmama

(ruru has the runs for a bit????)

*wicked mama look*

10:13 pm

MollyL

If it's your choice, then make YOUR choice. And I don't care what she is or isn't doing. That is still an AWFUL suggestion for a birthday present.

10:14 pm

grannyrose

later ruru

10:14 pm

mab

by ru

10:14 pm

Jillyjill

ROFL...good one stiddy!

10:14 pm

stidmama

I agree with molly

10:14 pm

mab

interesting that he left immediately after the french maid idea.

10:15 pm

stidmama

I know! For her birthday, you can offer (in the spirit in which it is intended) a consultation with a local plastic surgeon... *VERY wicked mama look*

I would not, of course, ever have the nerve to do something like that myself.

10:15 pm

jmcnrick

yeah i keep trying to find a way to say "thank you for your thoughtful gift" and keep thinking. . . "really? you think that is a nice gift?"

10:15 pm

o-o

No, after the cabana boy

10:15 pm

stidmama

oh mab!!!

10:15 pm

Jillyjill

another one for stiddy!!

10:15 pm

jmcnrick

hahaha BR

10:15 pm

stidmama

BR... roflmao (if only butt reduction were really that simple)

10:15 pm

grannyrose

stiddy, it's been an amazing journey. i have actually lost over 18kgs ( about 39.6lbs) now. as ruru said, the pain diet works.

10:16 pm

jmcnrick

no stiddie i love my sister and she does really mean the best for me

10:16 pm

jmcnrick

wtg granny!

10:16 pm

mkg

ro 7 please

10:16 pm

stidmama

that's wonderful about the weight loss, because I know that your heart and everything else is going to feel so much better. But as a fellow chronic pain card holder, I wish it were from a different cause.

10:17 pm

Jillyjill

Well, I spent years heavy..but it was MY choice to change that, no one could do it for me, nor can I do it for anyone else...

10:17 pm

jmcnrick

same as the mo7 mkg

10:17 pm

jmcnrick

this mutual friend of outs went. . .but she likes group activities

10:17 pm

MollyL

I'm going to bow out of this conversation, because I don't think that gift was loving or meaning the best. I think it was mean.

10:17 pm

stidmama

I know, jmc - maybe this is an alternative? You could ask instead for her to spend a weekend with you somewhere nice so you can visit? Would probably cost about the same, and it would be a lot nicer.

10:18 pm

Minveryork

ro7/28 word rhymes with an mo7/32 word(more wet) mkg

10:18 pm

jmcnrick

well trust me molls it was. . .she is just not always clear that i do not like what she likes

10:18 pm

stidmama

hello Min! (((hugs))) was thinking about you this weekend.

10:18 pm

grannyrose

what jilly said, i had to have the wake-up call i did get to give up the smokes and start losing the weight.

10:18 pm

mkg

ty got it.

10:19 pm

jmcnrick

we live about 10 blocks apart stiddie but i will think about what the alternative could be

10:19 pm

Minveryork

Hello stidmama! (((Hugs))) back to you!Welcome to puzzle

10:19 pm

jmcnrick

YAYAYAYAYYAYAYAY granny gave up smokes!

10:19 pm

10:20 pm

grannyrose

10:20 pm

jmcnrick

leaving to read a book . . . 68 left. . . c u all tomorrow

10:20 pm

Jillyjill

And you'll do it granny...I took my bmi from 36 to 21..feel so much better

10:20 pm

stidmama

grannyrose -- I know your situation is different, but for me every day that I get a little bit more progress I am stronger and it feels good. Today, I overdid it. Spent three and a half hours weeding (two separate shifts) and made really good progress. BUT now my hip really hurts. On the other hand, in a week, I will maybe be strong enough to do four hours in a single day and not need the crutches when I am done. I hope you will experience similar progress.

10:20 pm

o-o

Jm, you gave us the reasons you are averse .... tell your sister to try to understand in the spirit the declination is given .... you would prefer a gift that is fun and not onerous

10:20 pm

grannyrose

okay, jmc. enjoy.
