12:24 am

Neil, my friends and I were cracking wise on fb. Drinking games:

1.every time Romney agreed with Obama, 2. "I know how to..." from Romney, 3. "Four years closer to a nuclear bomb."

Ummm yeah... did you see mine?

12:26 am

negativeneil

Haha, I'll email something to you. Hang on.

12:26 am

melonheadjujube

Let me put it this way, Jilli: Romney made a powerful case for an experienced commander-in-chief, and that's who i voted for!

12:26 am

melonheadjujube

I'll check my email, Neil.

12:27 am

cosdem

the debate was a democratic wet dream

12:27 am

melonheadjujube

Neil, your 6:26â€”perfect! You are officially a pundit.

12:28 am

Erda

Did anybody notice that Romney said our Air Force was founded in 1947? Hello? Then who in hell was bombing Berlin in 1943,1944 and 1945? And a few other places....

12:29 am

Christine

I think in the early 40s, it was called the ArmyAir Corps? (remember that song)> Did he mean the name changed in 1947?

12:29 am

VolleymomDee

According to wikipedia, it was officially founded in Sept 1947.

12:29 am

jillibus

During WW2 I think it was The Army Air Corps, Erda

12:29 am

Erda

If he meant it, he didn't say so...

12:30 am

jillibus

Christine, I remember that song.

12:30 am

Erda

"Officially founded" -- I stand by what I said. They EXISTED, dammit...

12:30 am

Christine

Now it'll be in my head for three days --- but that's OK.

12:30 am

melonheadjujube

Erda, that 1947 sounded like a coached remark.

12:31 am

Erda

define "coached"

12:32 am

cosdem

boats underwater is called a submarine.. one of my fave obama quotes.

12:32 am

Erda

Mine too...

12:32 am

melonheadjujube

his handlers did some research and gave him some facts. Not cobbled together very skilfully.

12:32 am

Erda

I'll say....

12:32 am

jillibus

I wanted "yowser" to be a word

12:33 am

Woops melon... that email bounced. Apparently the address you had given me doesn't work?

12:38 am

melonheadjujube

Neil, no email so far. what's your twitter handle?

12:38 am

melonheadjujube

to7X2 = variations on that which keeps dentists fully employed.

12:40 am

melonheadjujube

hmmm. I'm sure I've gotten emails from you before Neil.

12:40 am

melonheadjujube

12:40 am

negativeneil

I sent it to the Gmail.

12:40 am

negativeneil

Ok.

12:41 am

negativeneil

My Twitter name is the same name I use everywhere online... including here.

12:41 am

negativeneil

But it's not a good place to connect. I get literally thousands of tweets daily and don't see more than a fraction of them... it's too crazy.

12:42 am

negativeneil

And all I do there is post updates... which I also post in here while I'm doing that.

12:42 am

negativeneil

Mostly links that nobody reads. :P

12:43 am

melonheadjujube

I just tweeted you. I only follow a few people.

12:45 am

Oh ok.

hi Liz and flosey!

1:45 am

you are almost in the grid, flosey

1:46 am

flosey

ah, so I am, Flo

1:47 am

flosey

which I am usually called

1:47 am

sprite

flo + sey. Just not touching

1:47 am

sprite

ah nice :) It is a lovely name.

1:48 am

flosey

ty sprite, named after Mom's best friend who died at 26

1:48 am

sprite

that is a special legacy

1:48 am

Lizlin

Sad but great that you carried the name on

1:48 am

flosey

an ailment that would be treatable today

1:51 am

flosey

that re7/28 seems odd though it's been in before

1:53 am

Lizlin

don't have that yet - not been here long but just loved getting 2 x to / 7s

1:53 am

sprite

not as odd for me, that ending is pretty common in Dutch for certain professions and 'states' of persons.

1:53 am

Lizlin

followed by a not so nice di 4!

1:53 am

sprite

nice going, Liz

1:54 am

flosey

yes and pl one the other is a pl

1:56 am

sprite

just over halfway and suspecting this grid won't be easy

1:57 am

Lizlin

I'm only up to 80 but have to do other stuff for a while. Catch you later, perhaps. Enjoy the grid.

1:57 am

sprite

bye Liz, have a good one

2:17 am

Shallow One

gm all, (sprite) :)

2:17 am

sprite

hiya Shallow :)

2:18 am

sprite

not as bad as I thought, this grid... 50 left

2:19 am

Shallow One

grey day here, autumn finally arriving

2:19 am

sprite

yeah, same here. Overcast, but fiery colours appearing in the tr5.

2:19 am

Shallow One

hit the wall at 144

2:20 am

sprite

yes, that happened to me too. I got a second wind a bit later though. You will too!

2:26 am

gapeach

May I please have a clue for to7-52 the 2nd? Thanks

2:27 am

sprite

hi peach, my 2nd is same as first, but change a vowel.

2:27 am

Shallow One

snobs/sweets

2:27 am

flosey

pl of the the same word, different spelling

2:30 am

gapeach

Thanks so much, sprite, shallow and flosey.

2:31 am

sprite

yvw peach

2:32 am

gapeach

I'm down to 33 but will have to come back later in the day.....thanks for the help, y'all. Good Luck.

2:32 am

sprite

bye peach, have a good one

2:33 am

Shallow One

bye peach

2:33 am

flosey

well done peach, presume it's sleep time? it is here

2:36 am

sprite

I am such a moron sometimes. Am sitting here playing, cold to the bone. And all I needed to do was pull out something warm to wear. Well, finally did... how nice to warm up again :)

2:37 am

Shallow One

thatll take some time now, suggest you support it with a hot drink

2:37 am

flosey

chilly here too, am ready for bed, in turkish terry robe, nice and cozy

2:37 am

Shallow One

which actually is agood iidea to do here to, ill make some tea:)

2:38 am

sprite

sounds like a plan. However, that involves me going down the stairs and back up... which I will postpone until after the grid so I won't have to go twice :)

2:38 am

sprite

oh nice, flosey!

2:39 am

flosey

once it's on it cosy, sometimes it seems too heavy to lift

2:39 am

Shallow One

yeah the steep dutch stairs - id try to avoid that too... ;)

2:40 am

flosey

is that typical in holland? steep stairs?

2:40 am

sprite

hehehe :) I can't walk too well and medication has not yet kicked in, so I better keep it low key for a bit longer.

2:40 am

sprite

pretty much so, flosey

2:40 am

flosey

conserving space?

2:41 am

sprite

yes. Small country, small houses. Space is at a premium here.

2:41 am

Shallow One

they have some flats that interlock with one another, like you live on 1st and 3rd floor while the neighbour lives on 2nd and 4th

2:41 am

sprite

lol yes, indeed. But that is uncommon!

2:42 am

Shallow One

good friend of mine in amsterdam lives in a house like that

2:42 am

flosey

interesting

2:43 am

sprite

that's us, the dutchies. Cheap, cramped, but interesting ;)

2:43 am

Shallow One

love the netherlands

2:43 am

flosey

we designed our retirement home and had it built - stairs are shallow and a bit wider and good strong handrail

2:44 am

flosey

we retired to the old family farm, lots of space

2:44 am

sprite

that sounds so wonderful, flosey.

2:45 am

Shallow One

yes, a lot of apartments are in bad design regarding the disabled and elderly over here too

2:47 am

Shallow One

government was starting an initiative as the population is growing subsequently older but its a difficult subject

2:49 am

sprite

I'd love to live with friends, later... share the load. But that is probably just a dream.

2:49 am

flosey

well, I could imagine moving into a smaller space as we age but would have a problem with all the 'treasures' we've aquired over the years

2:50 am

Shallow One

so would i, sprite. alten-wg

2:50 am

sprite

many elderly people here have to move to a one-room appt.

2:50 am

sprite

let's keep it in mind, Shallow :)

2:51 am

Shallow One

and spend a fortune for the rent and caretaking

2:51 am

sprite

oh man yes... those prices are ridiculous

2:53 am

flosey

we have some lovely buildings built here to accommodate just that kind of thing - one main diningroom so no cooking facilities in their units. And I hear they have a very good chef

2:53 am

sprite

that would be awesome

2:54 am

flosey

you have to place your name on a list and you hear about a unit as it becomes vacant

2:56 am

sprite

fi4flies! Not a bad grid :) Any help needed before I take myself downstairs?

2:56 am

flosey

well done sprite

2:57 am

flosey

thanks, down to 43 and think they can wait until morning, must get to bed. goodnight all

2:59 am

smores

hi ya shallow

3:40 am

Dachef

'teaties' should be a word. Its Scottish for 'breast'.

3:45 am

Shallow One

with all that scottish around, one more or lees wouldnt matter ;) hi chef:)

3:46 am

Dachef

aloha. Thought everyone was dead for a minute. Was getting ready for the zombie apocalypse. Chainsaw and cricket bat at the ready.

3:48 am

Shallow One

ill throw my teapot ...

3:49 am

Dachef

Make suire its empty first. In my experience, zombies get annoyed at hot tea.

3:49 am

Dachef

Its something to do with the tannins.

3:51 am

Shallow One

will keep that in mind. you never know, with allt aht halloween thingy going on and such

3:52 am

Shallow One

although im currently on greek mountain tea ...

3:53 am

Dachef

Now, as far as I understand it, zombies dislike tea but dont mind coffee. You should be alright with something like redbush or similar. More research is probably needed.

3:54 am

Shallow One

happiness is a warm zombie-repellant

3:54 am

Dachef

spot on!

4:01 am

Dachef

Im done, so in the spirit of true procrastination before I go and do something constructive - any clues?

4:02 am

Shallow One

thanks, puzzling on the last one, think ill manage

4:02 am

Shallow One

have a fun day

4:02 am

9:38 am

uusue2

9:39 am

jmcnrick

oh i guess i quit too soon

9:39 am

uusue2

sorry, I've been using my profile for some writing therapy lately and it's gotten a bit wordy

9:40 am

jmcnrick

not a problem. . . it is your profile after all

9:41 am

jmcnrick

so i broke down and bought a new computer before this one dies

9:41 am

MollyL

This explains a lot about page placement on internet searches. If you aren't in the first 10, forget it. People rarely scroll to the bottom of a page. Teeny tiny attention spans. : D

9:41 am

jmcnrick

its the only thing teeny tiny about me molls

9:42 am

uusue2

<--- only for the long-attention-span crowd

9:42 am

MollyL

Hooray for new computers!

9:42 am

uusue2

9:42 am

smores

9:43 am

9:43 am

uusue2

nice! My new computer (as of several months ago) is a Dell too.

9:44 am

jmcnrick

i put a new hard drive in this one a year and a half ago and have been typing with only one shift key working and it is getting harder and harder to reboot it so i decided not to wait for a crisis

9:44 am

jmcnrick

the founder of Dell was a conscientious objector during vietnam. . . and they give student discounts

9:44 am

MollyL

Good pre-planning your needs. Gold star.

9:44 am

uusue2

Good thinking. I had a laptop whose j key had quit working, and which was taking forever to boot up also.

9:45 am

jmcnrick

my dells have been fine over the years crossy

9:45 am

crosshair

9:45 am

Jivingjenny0

I have had a Dell laptop for over 4 years and my husband has just announced that he will buy me a new one for Christmas (I think he is fed up with the blue air when it takes forever to go from one page to the next)

9:45 am

jmcnrick

haha i usually wait until the computer dies on april 10!

9:46 am

Jivingjenny0

why april 10th

9:46 am

jmcnrick

so the new computer has additional ram and processing speed but still has way too much memory

9:46 am

hurshy

just in time for a tax deduction?

9:46 am

uusue2

gets in the way of doing taxes

9:46 am

jmcnrick

lbdawger

think i'm going to go out and shovel off the deck. <--bored.

10:26 am

crosshair

i was in construction/reno for 10 years and the rule of thumb that seems to work the best is take the estimated cost of the project,remove 10% for deals,coupons etc than take the new total and double it.same for finish times,take est time to finish,remove 5 days for good days,then double the remaining total

10:27 am

smores

you have snow lbd?

10:27 am

smores

wow, crossy that kinda sucks

10:28 am

crosshair

it works more often than not and thats what really sucks:/

10:28 am

crosshair

renos of course being harder than new builds

10:29 am

smores

of course

10:29 am

smores

are new builds closer to the estimate?

10:29 am

crosshair

yes

10:29 am

smores

or is that rule apply to both?

10:30 am

smores

*does not is

10:30 am

crosshair

with new builds,you know exactly what you need going in and there are fewer hidden surprises

10:31 am

smores

and of course no one already living there :)

10:31 am

crosshair

for instance i had one reno,the old lath and plaster walls were to be removed and new drywall put up and wallpaper.i opened up the wall only to find it had been filled with urea formaldehyde

12:17 pm

cybernan

I think our golf season is over -- played last game a week ago.

12:18 pm

Altagolfnut5

yes. My son just moved to Calgary few months ago, and being mom... told him to watch those icy roads! Way more traffic than he is used to in this town.

12:18 pm

they are indeed

12:28 pm

MollyL

Hi Peri. I love Amazon. I always get my items very quickly.

12:29 pm

periwinkle

the original message I got from them said 7 days. I called them and said I thought it was 2 day delivery with amazon prime. she said on most items. then later in the day I got an e-mail saying the item was shipped and to expect it today!

12:29 pm

Altagolfnut5

my biggest beef with them is because they are so quick, and I forget that part, I order xmas gifts early, and theres only a 30 day return policy. so have to be careful

12:29 pm

periwinkle

I am in the process of setting it up. so far so good.

12:29 pm

They have amazing customer service.

1:12 pm

stidmama

you? other than speaking a lot of bulgarian? are you well?

1:12 pm

Jen

a garden sounds wonderful! we live in a wonderful neighborhood (heck, I live near the president of the country), but we have no spigots, only in-ground sprinklers for the grass, so a garden is a bridge too far here

1:12 pm

Jen

almost got blown up by terrorists this summer, but other than that, groovy

1:12 pm

stidmama

oooh. POSH!

1:13 pm

stidmama

I read about that, I am glad you are okay. Had forgotten you were in that area.

1:13 pm

Jen

the Social Studies conference sounds great! I sometimes miss my teaching days

1:13 pm

Jen

we had actually flown into that airport 3 hours before the blast

1:14 pm

stidmama

I regularly miss my days being "just" a mom... but I love being in the classroom! Hope to get a full-time job in the next year.

1:14 pm

stidmama

that is TOO close, Jen.

1:15 pm

Jen

that sounds nice! I also miss the days of being "just" mom. I figure when I move back, I'll play every lottery I can, LOL

1:15 pm

Jen

1:15 pm

stidmama

1:19 pm

stidmama

Jen is an OLD babbler from way back, jilly -- we used to swap tales of our lives...

1:20 pm

Jen

1:20 pm

and now it is time for crossy,s heavy quote of the day!! free crossy breakfast if you can tell me who wrote it!

2:48 pm

crosshair

"One day many years ago a man walked along and stood in the sound of the ocean on a cold sunless shore and said "We need a voice to call across the water, to warn ships; I'll make one. I'll make a voice that is like an empty bed beside you all night long, and like an empty house when you open the door, and like the trees in autumn with no leaves. A sound like the birds flying south, crying, and a sound like November wind and the sea on the hard, cold shore. I'll make a sound that's so alone that no one can miss it, that whoever hears it will weep in their souls, and to all who hear it in the distant towns. I'll make me a sound and an apparatus and they'll call it a Fog Horn and whoever hears it will know the sadness of eternity and the briefness of life."

8:31 pm

weiik

That could be a possible costume

8:32 pm

gapeach

such as a nursing home or ....oh, well, maybe not such a good idea after all.

8:32 pm

weiik

wonder if most kids would know who pennywise is

8:32 pm

jmcnrick

it would depend on the goodies peach i think

8:32 pm

gapeach

Yeah, you're right.

8:33 pm

jmcnrick

wouldn't matter they would still see a scary clown

8:33 pm

weiik

back to work .... night all

8:34 pm

jmcnrick

8:34 pm

gapeach

Well, if it very scary.....diffenitely not a good idea.

8:34 pm

gapeach

is -even

8:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

cos this is for an adult party?

8:35 pm

MollyL

Yes, but a cute costume with the nursing home giving out goodies is a great idea. I think the folks would love it.

8:35 pm

Jacula

TO - ra6 = to cofirm or sanction something. Sounds like you rodented it!

8:36 pm

Jacula

re7 = to reconfirm something.

8:36 pm

Jacula

Hello all, btw!

8:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

whoa, jac to the rescue! x

8:37 pm

Jacula

Just finished writing a story so thought I'd drop in here to wind down.x

8:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

we are planing halloween costumes

8:38 pm

Jacula

TO - so I see. Clowns arte definitely off the menu for me. I hate them.

8:38 pm

Jacula

Zombies, vampires, ghosts etc., are fine.

8:38 pm

gapeach

brb

8:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

are you familiar with steven king's ennywise?

8:39 pm

Jillyjill

Hi there Jacula...what kind of story?

8:40 pm

Jacula

Jilly - Hi! The story this evening was one about walking the dog - who you meet, what you find etc.

8:40 pm

Jillyjill

*rethinks question knowing Jacula is trying to wind down*

8:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

that fy ending gets a workout today

8:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

non fiction or fiction?

8:41 pm

nrkii

hi all!

8:41 pm

Jillyjill

Nice...I really miss having a dog to walk. She was so friendly to all, except for those she sensed something in...then she was all guard dog!

8:41 pm

Jacula

TO - Pet Sematary gave me nightmares! LOL. I do like Stephen King's books, but not that one. James Herbert's 'The Cottage' - read that. It's a great horror story.

8:41 pm

Jacula

Hi nrkii!

8:41 pm

Jillyjill

That it does TO!

8:41 pm

Jillyjill

Hi nrkii!!

8:41 pm

Jacula

TO - fiction, taken from life.

8:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey nrk!

8:44 pm

Jillyjill

Love the sentiment on your icon TO!!

8:44 pm

Jacula

I miss having a dog to walk, too, TO! My Mum still walks her dog and those she dog-sits, though. I sometimes go with her.

8:44 pm

jmcnrick

hi nrkii!

8:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

dogs are a good way to meet potential partners

8:46 pm

Jillyjill

Jacula...your Pet Semetary fear reminds me of a real situation. My friend had a kitty that her husband accidently ran over (her head). Kitty survived, but she always had an ee5/10 look about her and always gave me, the usual cataholic, the CREEPS..

8:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

ooh gross

8:46 pm

Jillyjill

TO, many places the dog parks act as meet-up places...

8:46 pm

jmcnrick

*shudder*

8:47 pm

Jillyjill

Hi JMC!!

8:47 pm

jmcnrick

hi jilly

8:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

ny dad actually killed the cat that way

8:47 pm

Jacula

It's taken me 19 years to even think about wanting another dog after I had to take my beloved JRXSheltie to the vet to make his final journey. However, I have the cat from hell living with me at present, who fights off any other living creature that is not a human. I'd not like to subject a puppy or an older dog to his wrath.

8:47 pm

jmcnrick

i could use a suggestion for a costume since my idea was shot down

8:48 pm

Jillyjill

Wise woman Jacula!

8:48 pm

nrkii

jmc, what was your idea?

8:48 pm

Jillyjill

What was your idea jmc?

8:48 pm

nrkii

and will it be for a party, or for handing out candy?

8:48 pm

Jacula

Jilly - your kitten story is scarey!

8:48 pm

jmcnrick

notebook binders. . . it is a party of political junkies in DC

8:49 pm

jmcnrick

mostly journalists

8:49 pm

Jillyjill

I'm going to look like a traveler...cuz I WILL be...hubby and I leave for Hawaii on Halloween

8:49 pm

jmcnrick

i bet they give you candy on the flight

8:49 pm

Jillyjill

I think that idea is FABULOUS jmc..whoever shot it down and WHY??

8:49 pm

nrkii

good for you Jilly!

8:49 pm

nrkii

jmc, thinking....

8:50 pm

jmcnrick

molls and my boy for different reasons

8:50 pm

o-o

be a tall tail

8:50 pm

jmcnrick

??? how would i do that BR

8:50 pm

Jacula

jmc - also thinking here. How about costumes for the most hated heads of states or countries?

8:50 pm

jmcnrick

haha too many to choose from jac

8:51 pm

Jacula

Depends on how large your group is, jmc.

8:51 pm

Jillyjill

Well, actually we are driving to Missoula to spend the night. We fly out at the butt crack of dawn and that gives us a little more sleep. Plus we will keep our truck at the motel and save on parking.

8:51 pm

jmcnrick

well i am only in charge of my costume jac. . . not my party but a friend's

8:51 pm

nrkii

is it mixed politics, or all/most one side?

8:52 pm

Jacula

Ah... jmc.

8:52 pm

jmcnrick

mostly one side as they all live in DC nrkii

8:52 pm

nrkii

gotcha

8:52 pm

nrkii

thinking some more...

8:52 pm

Jillyjill

JMC..you could go as a Navy ship.... ;)

8:52 pm

o-o

if real politicians were there, would go as a convict

8:52 pm

jmcnrick

ahem one year i went as sarah palin (complete with bangs and a moose)

8:52 pm

Jacula

jmc - all in DC, all mostly one side, that shouldn't be too hard to do then! Has anyone suggested a theme?

8:54 pm

Jillyjill

I still see nothing wrong as a women in a binder...(still lmao)

8:54 pm

jmcnrick

no there is no theme but most of the costumes are either political or current events

8:54 pm

MollyL

Yes, I am the killjoy.

8:54 pm

jmcnrick

my boy says too many people are already doing it (his age anyway)

8:54 pm

Jacula

Or, jmc, you could all perhaps put adult things aside and just do it in your inner child way? All of you.

8:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

*sigh* "Secrets of the Dead"just succedded in making th ecuban missle crisis the most boring program i have seen

8:55 pm

jmcnrick

8:55 pm

Jillyjill

Hi mols

8:55 pm

jmcnrick

8:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

well many folks are going as unemployed muppet i hear, esp tbig bird

8:56 pm

nrkii

I don't love the binders idea either, both from a logistical and thematic sense

8:56 pm

phandmd

ed

8:56 pm

Jacula

All Hallow's Eve was traditionally the time when the dead got to walk the earth and make mischief. Not all of the dead did bad things; some just did things to let their family know they were still keeping an eye on them.

8:56 pm

jmcnrick

big bird costumes are sold out. . .so i dont want to do what lots of other people are doing. . .i try to be unique

8:56 pm

o-o

strap a broom to your back as the tale (tail) and pass out your favorite political fabrications

8:56 pm

jmcnrick

yes the logistics on the binders has been a quandary to me as well nrkii

8:56 pm

Jillyjill

brb

8:57 pm

Jacula

Hallowe'en is not supposed to be political.

8:57 pm

jmcnrick

hmmm i will think about that BR a couple of the people coming work for PoliFact. . .

8:57 pm

jmcnrick

everything is political in DC Jac

8:57 pm

nrkii

I don't know Jacula, I always get a few poliitcal-costumed trick-or-treaters. It's fine.

8:58 pm

jmcnrick

yes i remember the nixon and mcgovern masks when i was younger

8:58 pm

nrkii

How about a carton of 1% milk?

8:58 pm

jmcnrick

1% milk?

8:59 pm

nrkii

1%

8:59 pm

jmcnrick

oh i see. . . haha

8:59 pm

jmcnrick

9:00 pm

Jacula

jm - pity about that in DC, jmc. Takes all the fun out of it.

9:00 pm

jmcnrick

9:01 pm

9:01 pm

jmcnrick

9:01 pm

jmcnrick

oh nrkii i can totally see you as a zombie doll!

9:01 pm

nrkii

If I come up with anything better, I'll let you know

9:02 pm

Jacula

I suppose the fact that the tradition is kept alive is one thing, but it's such a shame that the pagan roots are being lost.

9:02 pm

nrkii

jmc, I have an old doll costume... I'm not sure how well it will zombify

9:02 pm

jmcnrick

to be current i would have to say "i oppose gay marriage because i am a moral man" :p

9:02 pm

MollyL

Jack-o-lanterns have Pagan roots.

9:02 pm

jmcnrick

well it would mainly need to be your face zombie-fied with some dirt on the dress and hair, no?

9:03 pm

Jacula

cake and ale is a clue? for which word?

9:08 pm

9:10 pm

cosdem

ta6/36 please?

9:10 pm

Jillyjill

Darn Cos...I think our fire season has ended. It's been spitting snow and the mountains are already snow covered.

9:10 pm

9:15 pm

cosdem

9:15 pm

MollyL

Cakes and ale for the faeries was not a clue. It was in response to Cos's comment on Samhain.

9:16 pm

cosdem

ahh ok thought so but wanted to double check :)

9:16 pm

cosdem

and the masks is because they wanted to hide from Samhain right?

9:17 pm

MollyL

People wore masks to "scare" away the spirits of the dead, believed to roam the Earth that night.

9:17 pm

9:49 pm

Riverdance

those damn dress shoes did me in....

9:49 pm

Riverdance

thats it...no more fancy shoes...only flats, boots or sneakers

9:50 pm

Jillyjill

Be careful, you could have injured your rotator cuff in your shoulder...

9:50 pm

Riverdance

that was the diagnosis....sprained rotator cuff.... but my shoulder is feeling much better, it is my upper arm that is stiff very hurtful

9:51 pm

dcseain

Yaktracks are fabulous for ice.

9:52 pm

Riverdance

I have a large lump half way up my upper arm....so that must be the bruising.....I have yaktracks but no ice here yet...the dastardly leaves is what got me

9:52 pm

dcseain

leaves are treacherous.

9:52 pm

Riverdance

my yaks are great in the winter when I need to walk my hilly driveway

9:53 pm

Riverdance

we are 350 feet uphill on a 9% grade...it is quite steep so the yaks are great....

9:53 pm

Jillyjill

The parking lot at the hospital scares me to death in the winter...still scared even with yak tracks

9:53 pm

dcseain

:) having grown up in a very hilly area, i know the value of good cleats.

9:55 pm

Riverdance

thank you all for your concern....I have good meds and it is getting better...one more day of rest and then back to work for me.....the only problem is the meds put me to sleep so I have been napping alot and now here I am at almost 11 pm and cant get to bed....

9:57 pm

Jillyjill

Well, it's time for me to hit the pillows..so to be a good example for River...bye all and River Feel Better Soon!!
