12:12 am
jillibus
because he's in Australia, angel
12:12 am
dart001
cause he lives in australia and they havent changed their clocks like we did last night
12:12 am
rbud

12:12 am
jillibus
across the International DAte Line
12:13 am
cosdem
lickety came on hour before flip and said "list was up" but the list was already up.. i wonder....
12:13 am
grannyrose
no we changed our clocks 4 weeks ago. i have emailed lickety
12:13 am
rbud
see? I was worried - our time changed this Sun. morning, and with him showing up so soon after flip, now he's an hour early! :\
12:14 am
rururocks
maybe lickety needs new batteries in his watches?
12:14 am
angel13136
hmmm weird cause it isn't the correct list this is yesterday's list but with todays date
12:14 am
rbud

12:16 am
dart001

12:16 am
rbud

I felt like a douche finding the en5/12
12:17 am
dart001
he posts right after flip....now ours has changed...his is same so it posted one hr before flip
12:17 am
grannyrose
yes i know rbud, but lickety is/was unaware of the change, hence i emailed him.
12:17 am
cosdem
right. he came a hour before flip today which was our old flip time and said "list is up" but the list was already up
12:17 am
rururocks

It is going to be interesting to see what this winter brings - weather wise.
1:54 am
dart001
yep....last one was our first one here...i liked it but the locals say it was very unusual and very warm compared to norms....I told them compared to minnesota..you probably can't hurt me too much...unless we get a lot of ice storms
1:55 am
VolleymomDee
is KS known for ice storms in a "normal" winter?
1:55 am
dart001
middle part of country gets them quite a bit...minnesota is usually cold enought that we just get dumped on with a lot of snow
1:57 am
dart001
last winter in mn...first snowfall was mid-november..17 inches...then 17 more first week of dec....it was over my waist by dec9...and i'm 6'6"
1:57 am
VolleymomDee
I have been to MN in the winter, but all of my KS visits were in the spring time. One of our daughter's best friends lives in your city.
1:58 am
VolleymomDee
We haven't seen snow of any consequence in a couple of winters. We used to get dumped, but not so the last several years.

but we were here...we had 3 inches the whole winter. lol

VolleymomDee
alt spelling for chamois... looks like sleeping apparell ch 8/60
1:59 am
VolleymomDee
Did you miss the snow?
2:00 am
dart001
not one bit....had to shovel once...and golfed pretty regular throughout the winter :)
2:01 am
VolleymomDee
sounds like my hubby and leaves this fall - all our old neighbors were raking and blowing leaves up a storm, and we didn't have to do it once ...
2:01 am
Jivingjenny0
thanks for the 8 - never seen it spelt like that before
2:02 am
dart001
have 10 trees on my lot...but they aren't very big.....back in minn we had 3 that dropped leaves...and it was a chore about every 4th days
2:02 am
VolleymomDee
was new to me, too jiv
2:02 am
dart001
had a 65 ft tall maple tree that was huge...when it dropped...the leaves were about a foot deep
2:03 am
VolleymomDee
we had scads of trees before; so nice now not to have to mess with them... ditto at our old house - had several huge maples and oak trees
2:03 am
VolleymomDee
I love all the sunshine here
2:04 am
dart001
yard is bigger now...takes longer to mow
2:06 am
VolleymomDee
I must confess though; I have never mowed a yard, since we were married.
2:07 am
dart001
how long has it been since you moved into the new house?
2:07 am
VolleymomDee
since March 24th
2:07 am
dart001
unfortunately...i have been doing that since i was about 9
2:09 am
dart001
hubby likes it?
2:10 am
VolleymomDee
he really enjoy mowing; he even helps mow the yard at the church, which is several acres
2:10 am
dart001
push mower...or rider?
2:10 am
VolleymomDee
rider here; push at the old house; rider now to save some trauma on his knee
2:11 am
VolleymomDee
otherwise, he probably would still be pushing
2:11 am
VolleymomDee
with the other lot now, it takes several hours on the rider, so I am thankful he got it this year
2:11 am
dart001
forgot about the knee...i remember joking about 2 for 1's onknee operations for ruru and your husband
2:12 am
VolleymomDee
he had his cortisone shot on May 9th, and so far he hasn't had any pain. Some day, he'll have to have a replacement, but for now, he's good.
2:12 am
dart001
wonder if ruru will ever do it
2:13 am
VolleymomDee
We had a shock last week; a 59 year old from our old church died of a massive coronary... so I've really been bugging him to get a physical. Hubby's doc said one day the pain will "make" him do it, so probably the same with ru.
2:14 am
dart001
my dad had a heart attack in feb....i had a few extra checks during my last yearly physical...makes you think a bit
2:15 am
VolleymomDee
I bet. How's your dad doing now?
2:16 am
dart001
he had a stent put in back then...he is fine...but they keep talking about things on their bucket list....so hopefully they aren't holding back any info
2:16 am
VolleymomDee
They may just be thinking that at their age they need to do some things they have wanted to...
2:17 am
VolleymomDee
Well, I need to get going... have a couple of chores to finish and then try to get some sleep.
2:17 am
VolleymomDee
Have a great day!
2:17 am
dart001
i think that is it....but sometimes you wonder...they were talking about a nice restaurant....and some other things like that...not huge conquests
2:18 am
dart001
have a good one tomorrow too....another perfect night lol
2:18 am
VolleymomDee
does make you wonder, I'm sure; my parents were always secretive, too. LOL, very true.
2:18 am

1:16 pm
TraderKate
... just looked at your profile - you've had quite a slog, i see
1:16 pm
Nef
kind of slow right now; and a bit looped (had hand surgery Sat. and am drugged)
1:17 pm
periwinkle
wishing you a speedy recovery, Nef. what type of surgery did you have done?
1:18 pm
Nef
Let's just say it's been "quite" a year. And DH will be having another back surgery on Nov. 26th....
1:21 pm
Nef
basilar joint arthritis; they took out the right thumb joint closest to the wrist and put a tendon from my forearm in there (my non-dominent hand)
1:21 pm
periwinkle
that sounds complicated and painful. hope you heal quickly
1:23 pm
Nef
as long as I keep the hand above my heart, move the finger in thathand frequently, and take some pain meds freq. I'm okay
1:24 pm
periwinkle
so you are right handed?
1:24 pm
TraderKate
oh boy, you really have a lot on your plate! heal quickly nef... and thank god for drugs (giggle)
1:24 pm
MollyL
You have to keep the hand above your heart at all times?
1:24 pm
Nef
nope; a lefty; with surgery on right hand
1:24 pm
periwinkle
tough year for you Nef (((Nef and her DH))))
1:25 pm
periwinkle
oh, I got confused
1:25 pm
Nef
it feels better that way, Molly. I don't "have" to, but I don't want swelling and throbbing
1:26 pm
MollyL
*Imagines Nef walking around the house with her hand in the air like an anxious second grader* : D
1:27 pm
Nef
are you really in Barbados now Peri; or wishing to be there?
1:27 pm
periwinkle
Wishing I was there. Have been in the past and had a wonderful time
1:27 pm
Nef
yep, Molly; that's me! :-)
1:27 pm
periwinkle
I don't see the flag here but I did change it yesterday
1:29 pm
Nef
I even slept like that (I put 2 pillows on my bedside table, moved it up close to the bed and put ice packs on it there so I wouldn't take up the whole bed)
1:34 pm
Nef

1:41 pm
Nef
LOL, stid! You're so encouraging to everyone. :-)
1:43 pm
stidmama
no, just words that are rarely used in normal conversation. *wicked mama grin* I assure you that EN 5 doesn't occur in normal conversation for me!
1:44 pm
stidmama
there is a TO 4/8 Nef, that I saw early on, but assumed was a man's name... you might need that one.
1:44 pm
MollyL
I guess there are several different definitions of what a Babblet is then.
1:44 pm
Nef
it doesn't occur in mine either; and I'm a nurse. :-)
1:45 pm
Nef
i've got that one also, stid. Thanks anyway
1:49 pm
stidmama
I am finally down to 50. Like pulling teeth, this grid. *sigh* back to writing for me, then picking up the kiddo from taekwondo later (he deigned to allow such contact) -- he has been rather prickly lately. AND I get to teach 5th graders tomorrow, Nef -- Line graphs (always fun). I hope your week will also be wonderful. *gentle thoughts at hand* see you-all again soon! *poof*

logical consequences are not often so easy - like the advice to let your kid play outside in the snowstorm without a coat on. He will just get sick...

teacher's life too --- how many kids do you think really listened when, daily, I reiterated the requirements of the assignment and the due date??? about half. Over 5 days, only half were actually ready with acceptable work on the due date. *grumble* teenagers!

in our schools they got all kinds of chances to retry and it has become an expectation. too many of them don't know how to work for an employer when they get a job
4:07 pm

last ch 6/27, please?
4:08 pm
stidmama
That is my concern as well. We have hard and fast deadlines in real life. There are rarely do-overs... While I would probably in my own classroom accept late work for partial credit (since the purpose is learning), I would still have to have a cut-off at the end of the grading period!

Lickety posted yesterdays's stats last night. Technically, it was already today in Australia. That explains the disparity between the date and the list.
4:18 pm

for me this grid is more like sudoku rather than a word game - monkeying word after word by grid stats and alphabetical order

Dear all, Frank has cancer. Right now that is all we know, will be contacting a surgeon first thing in the morning.
6:12 pm
MollyL
Oh Sue, I'm so sorry. Extra prayers out and I'm lighting a candle for you two.
6:13 pm
Lizlin
so sorry to hear this. Thoughts are with you both and strong hopes for a positive outcome
6:13 pm

Oh no, Sue. My prayers are with you.
6:13 pm

Please know that it's possible to beat cancer. My Mom did three times. I will be confident that Frank will too.
6:13 pm
lynxxx
oh Sue, hugs for you both, a rocky road ahead xxx
6:14 pm
uusue2
Thank you all - I will let you all know when we know more.
6:15 pm
lynxxx
godthaab. Lickety has set up to have his list generated automatically. Problem is that the US changed their clocks so his list worked on yesterdays grid. Rose has contacted him
6:15 pm
Kenny Chuck
Do you know where Frank cancer is?
6:17 pm
Kenny Chuck
I mean where is the center of the cancer.
6:18 pm
lynxxx
I guess it could be abdominal as he was having ulcers treated...but I am sure Sue will let us know after they see the specialists
6:20 pm
uusue2
Probably colon but right now we can't be sure.
6:21 pm
lynxxx
Huge horse race here today. Public Holiday. All the girls dressed to the nines, even Prince Charles is attending.......the rain has now started with thunderstorms to follow. Going to be a lot of girls sinking into the turf with their six inch heels and looking bedraggled with drooping hats
6:21 pm
uusue2
And they weren't ulcers, it was digestive fluids backing up due to a stricture. Self diagnosis is not actually a good idea, it turns out.
6:22 pm
Kenny Chuck
Colon cancer can be easily controlled. My hope is that it can be.
6:22 pm
uusue2
Which race, lynxxx?
6:22 pm
uusue2
Ours too, Kenny, thanks.

Because of your description, Lyn, it almost seems worth watching the race!!!!
6:24 pm

I am sure it will be televised somewhere Sue - you can see some of our town
6:24 pm
Lizlin
Not so much the race, as the racegoers!
6:25 pm

Are you busy at school also Sue? I can't believe it is November already and Halloween decorations put away.
6:25 pm

That would be cool! I just expanded our cable service, so maybe we'll actually see it.
6:25 pm

I always forget where you are from Liz - you should put a town/state on your profile

Same here! I'm relatively new - a couple of months - beginning of september.

I'm not thinking of Christmas holidays yet Sue. I'm trying to organize my rooms of horrors which hold stuff from several generations of gamily.
6:28 pm

You should ask the family to come and take what they would like - less to organise
6:28 pm
stidgmere
Hi lynxxx. Always glad to see you on Chat. So you ahd lizlin can have a meet up. Glad you are enjoying the grid as well as the chat liz.
6:30 pm
stidgmere
True lynxx. But the boys don't have a place for this stuff until after college I think.
6:30 pm
Lizlin
Yes - people I've chatted to are really nice. I enjoy this, though tend to pop in and out during the day
6:30 pm
lynxxx
well we are probably about 1700 kms apart stidgmere but who knows
6:30 pm
Lizlin
Stid - I'm a 2 hour flight from Melbourne~!
6:30 pm
Lizlin
But as Lyn says - who knows?

We all tend to pop in and out like meercats surveying their territory. That's Babble for you.

I drove about 2500 miles to a babble meetup this summer, it was FABULOUS.
6:32 pm

I was showing someone the grid last night - don't think they'll join just yet but perhaps in the future
6:32 pm
lynxxx
I can barely manage a 3/4 hour drive
6:32 pm

I realize Australia is big country but on the other hand, that is okay. See Sue's note on her drive to Vancouver Island this summer. We are all likely to get on Air Australia and fly down to see you.
6:33 pm
stidgmere
Driving is pretty boring sometimes unless you have someone to visit with. My daughter, Stidmama is an excellent companion. She could go with you Lynxx.
6:33 pm
Lizlin
Weather here's lovely - no snow - nothing ever REALLY cold! Though I've acclimatised to QLD weather very quickly and now think 14 C is very cold!!!!
6:33 pm
lynxxx
well, would love to meet Stidmama but afraid even she would not tempt me to drive all that way
6:34 pm
lynxxx
where are you from originally Liz?
6:34 pm
stidgmere
Okay Lynxx, I think this is calling for a Babble-in at your place.
6:35 pm
Lizlin
we've talked about doing the drive sometime but taking it really slowly. I'm from London - lived here just under 4 years. Passed citizenship test 2 months ago - waiting for ceremony now. Wouldn't go back to living in UK but love to visit.
6:35 pm
lynxxx
sure - there are 4/5 Babblers in melbourne actually. Jilli nearly made it over here before her accident
6:36 pm
lynxxx
Oh - Congratulations Liz - Welcome to "The Lucky Country" (that sounds so old hat now)
6:36 pm
stidgmere
Jilli is a tough lady. She can go anywhere. Right?
6:37 pm
Lizlin
Well - the test wasn't exactly challenging - one question (they're all multiple choice) was - what language is the national language of Australia? - choice - Australian, English or Urdu (or something similar)!!!!!
6:37 pm
lynxxx
Yes. And she has relatives going back a long way who are pretty well known from early 1900s
6:37 pm
Christine
Lizlin - where in London?
6:38 pm
stidgmere
Is the answer Australian? Just in case I want to take the citizen test.
6:38 pm
Lizlin
North London - end of the Piccadilly Line - Cockfosters (or as an ex-Aussie colleague of mine commented - her 2 favourite things in life!)
6:39 pm

Lizlin
Language def English - but quite a few word differences!
6:40 pm
Lizlin
My hubby - an Aussie - taught in England, where I met him, and caused uproar in the class telling the kids to take their pants off for a PE lesson - I know that's used in the US too but in England it's trousers!
6:40 pm
Christine
Yes, I've heard that before. I'm originally from the east end - Clapton, Hackney & Stamford Hill .
6:40 pm
Lizlin
Pants are underpants
6:40 pm
stidgmere
Ty lynxx. We say we speak English, too, but there are lots of variations like Liz is pointing out. I had to listen really carefully in places like Salisbury in England.
6:41 pm
Lizlin
I know the area pretty well Christine - I taught in Stoke Newington for 10 years!
6:41 pm
Christine
Do you teach now?
6:42 pm
Lizlin
Took early retirement, when we moved here. Now enjoy walking on the beach and in the season, whale watching!
6:42 pm
Christine
Still lots of family in the Stoke Newington area
6:43 pm
lynxxx
are you on the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast?
6:43 pm
Lizlin
Gold Coast
6:43 pm
lynxxx
I have a SIL nr Noosa - well when she is home anyway
6:44 pm

Went to Noosa for the first time this winter. Didn't have much time there - meeting up with family from Melbourne - would like to go back.
6:45 pm

very nice - a permamnent holiday for you

6:47 pm

aha - Guess that is why you are into whale watching then
6:47 pm
Lizlin
We just love it. The company we go with invented a season ticket for us. We try to go once a week. Went 18 times this year. The whales are just awesome! Saw Migaloo in 2009!
6:48 pm
lynxxx
for non Australians - Warnambool has great whale watching
6:48 pm
stidgmere
New type of whale washed ashore in New Zealand in the news today.
6:49 pm
Lizlin
Gold Coast is better! It's the cross over point for the southern humpback migration. We get about 15000 on the annual migration - travel north from May / June to August, then return south until november. the season just ended.
6:50 pm
Lizlin
I didn't see that about the whale in NZ - will look it up.
6:51 pm
lynxxx
Interesting Stidgmere - a spade-toothed beaked whale. never been seen live before. How great that we still are finding things
6:51 pm
Lizlin
time to head off for a walk on the beach
6:51 pm

Hi mama.

:-D So I wrote 3,490 words today (my fignrs are tired) and I am done for now. I also did some laundry, but the washer died so waiting for Tom to get home and fix it. That's it. No cooking, no gardening (well, not much, I thinned the baby lettuces and bok choi), no cleaning.
6:54 pm
stidmama
how about you?
6:56 pm
stidgmere
Did washing, folded clothes, worked on paperwork for dad, practiced for rehearsal, went for walk with dad and murphy, looked for voice recorders (small, pocket type). That's all.
6:56 pm
stidmama
there. FINALLY got the last corner!
6:56 pm

moi? I have cleaned 2 rooms, babbled, hung out wask=hing, walked the dog, babbled - and avoided doing writing actually - trying to get together a 12 page booklet

some calls are live and some are robo-calls, lynx

she was very proud of her costume choice - she meowed on request and showed her "kitty claws" (black nail polish)
7:21 pm
lynxxx
we have a 'don't call' system you can register for, so stop nuisance calls. I reckon those sort of calls would qualify
7:22 pm
cosdem
no they do not lynx
7:22 pm
dan2bit
actually, the US version of that system has an explicit exception for political parties & groups
7:22 pm
wvteach
we are supposedly on a don't call list but we still get the political calls and many others
7:22 pm
cosdem
the only way not to get these calls is to change ur number and not tell them or be unregistered voter. ryan changed his nbr and didnt tell them and we havent gotten a call at all this year
7:22 pm

I'm not in a swing state, but have been getting robocalls from Democrat candidates. It's odd, because they're going to win anyways, and you'd think they'd back off in NJ given the troubles here.

7:31 pm
lynxxx
see the conversation we just had Shorty
7:31 pm
MollyL
Lickety updated yesterday's list at 4:20PM our time. By then, it was the 5th in Australia. So the date and the list don't jive.
7:32 pm

7:38 pm
lynxxx

7:39 pm
MollyL
ch6/27...the pet you grow seeds on + two letters that denote sexual bondage
7:39 pm
MollyL
Ignore me, that was the first.
7:40 pm
wht
Molly, I was wondering about your clue. Have you been reading 50 Shades of Grey?
7:41 pm
rururocks
hmmm bondage
7:41 pm
lynxxx
right on cue
7:41 pm
rururocks
i just arrived
7:41 pm
rururocks
barely got one word in
7:42 pm
wht
I think ruru has a finely tuned innuendo detector.
7:43 pm
rururocks
finely tuned something ...that's for sure
7:44 pm
rururocks
these m's are ridiculous
7:44 pm
rururocks
sooooooorrry

lynxxx
bye everyone
7:47 pm
wht
good night lynxx
7:48 pm
MollyL
No Wht. I have no interest in bad writing.
7:50 pm
rururocks
would the book tie you up too much molly?
7:51 pm
MollyL
Yes, don't want to be bound to reading trash.
7:52 pm
rururocks
even if the book is brand spanking new?
7:53 pm
wht
Fireworks. And my last word was sa5,18 which would describe a wench like Molly. :^)
7:53 pm
MollyL
Aw Wht, you charmer you. : )
7:54 pm
wht
Any time Molly.
7:57 pm
rururocks
*risk taker*
7:58 pm
rururocks
call someone else a wench around here (without a sense of humor) and have your head handed to you.
7:59 pm
wht
Maybe I just don't know any better.
7:59 pm
MollyL
This is true, Ru. But this small cadre who maintain their sense of humor understand each other. Thank God for that.
7:59 pm
wht
And I have had a fair indication that Molly has a sense of humor.
8:00 pm
rururocks
---going to let the fireworks run for a while.. this was a weird grid
8:00 pm
wht
congrtulations ruru
8:01 pm
wht
strange words seem to congregate in small grids.
8:01 pm
MollyL
I'd say it's one of the weirdest I've ever done.
8:01 pm
rururocks
this will go down as the Al Jolson grid
8:02 pm
jesdraggon
hi all
8:02 pm
rururocks
you missed all the bondage action with wht and molly
8:02 pm
cosdem
my first grid back and its an awful one.
8:02 pm
MollyL
And amazingly, there was no indignation about those Jolson words being offensive.
8:02 pm
jesdraggon
what?!? dangit, how do i miss all the exciting stuff?
8:02 pm
jesdraggon
did you video it for me?
8:03 pm
jesdraggon
who's al jolson?
8:03 pm
rururocks
crap..I'm dating myself
8:03 pm
nrkii
ah help please?
8:03 pm
MollyL
It was pretty tame Jes. Wht referred to me as a wench and I did not get all huffy and call him a Cyber Bully.
8:04 pm
rururocks
a + not her + **y something nice
8:04 pm
jesdraggon
heh. that's bondage action? i dunno about your lecher credentials suddenly, ru
8:05 pm
rururocks
They were discussing bondage books
8:05 pm
rururocks
I'm exonerated
8:05 pm
MollyL
Well, there was a brief discussion about 50 Shades Of Bad Writing.
8:05 pm
rururocks
I came in like a sheep
8:05 pm
jesdraggon
ah; that's not a bondage book, ru, that's an abusive relationship/how NOT to do BDSM book
8:05 pm
wht
Molly started it by using s&m in a clue. And ruru came in, more like a moth to a flame.
8:05 pm
MollyL
Pure as the driven slush Ru.
8:06 pm
rururocks
well wht.. candles are phallic
8:06 pm
rururocks
some are
8:06 pm
o-o
Yes, the cyber bullies have assembled.
8:06 pm
MollyL
*Pays attention as Jes seems to be an expert on the subject*
8:07 pm
rururocks
not the aromatherapy ones
8:07 pm
jesdraggon
heh. i dunno about an expert, molly. some experience there though.... :D
8:07 pm
o-o
I laugh at them.
8:08 pm
jesdraggon
who's cyber bullying, bab?
8:08 pm
o-o
I did not say anyone was.
8:09 pm
cosdem
I feel so sad. My neighbor died. She was in her late 30s/early 40s. She was a little off but very sweet.
8:09 pm
wht
I think we are just in our favorite Babble meet-up location. The gutter.
8:09 pm
jesdraggon
you said "the cyber bullies have assembled"... i was just wondering what that was about?
8:09 pm
jesdraggon
oh no, cos, what happened?
8:09 pm
cosdem
Last time I saw her was last night and I waved to her and walked off quickly because was too tired to listen to her :(
8:09 pm
wht
Cos. I am so sorry.
8:10 pm
nrkii
that is sad cos
8:10 pm
o-o
I did not say anyone was in the gutter.
8:11 pm
MollyL
Aw Cos, sorry to hear that.
8:13 pm
wht
I know you didn't BR. That was an unsolicited comment on my part.
8:14 pm
jesdraggon
i like the gutter. it's comfy.
8:15 pm
o-o
Many don't, and have left the site or no longer chat.
8:15 pm
o-o
The gutter is not the thing ... that is your choice.
8:16 pm
o-o
The bullying does go on.
8:16 pm
car.eeyore
Good evening!
8:17 pm
jesdraggon
i am perhaps oblivious (wouldn't be the first time) but i've not noticed bullying here... could you clarify what you mean?
8:17 pm
jesdraggon
hi car :)
8:18 pm
o-o
I will not rehash the comments and insults .... I laugh
8:18 pm
car.eeyore
Hello to all!
8:19 pm
o-o
and I will not bother again, jes.
8:19 pm
jesdraggon
okay. i guess I'm just confused why you bring it up if you are not willing to explain what you're referencing?
8:19 pm
o-o
Because it goes on.
8:19 pm
o-o
I have been a target for months
8:20 pm
jesdraggon
i'm sorry to hear that. i hope i'm not one of the people you mean, as I've certainly never intended to be bullying
8:20 pm
jesdraggon
i'm sorry to hear that. i hope i'm not one of the people you mean, as I've certainly never intended to be bullying.
8:20 pm
o-o
You can think what you want, jes.
8:20 pm
car.eeyore
Wahoo! Well done nrkii!
8:20 pm
jesdraggon
yay nrkii!
8:21 pm
wht
Sorry to hear that BR. I hadn't noticed. Either I haven't been on then or I have been exercising my super power. Oblivious Man.
8:21 pm
jesdraggon
If I have done something you consider bullying, it was unintentional, and I really hope you bring it to my attention.
8:21 pm
nrkii
BR, I don't disagree with you that there was a pretty tense time here in the last year. And people did leave because of it, which is unfortunate. But, I think things have been a lot better in the past month, and I'm hopeful it will continue that way.
8:22 pm
o-o
No, I am leaving ... let those who have no consideration for others have the place.
8:22 pm
car.eeyore
BR...please don't leave. I will be sad.
8:23 pm
jesdraggon
Well now I'm just really confused.
8:25 pm
nrkii
Molly, thank you for including the list in your profile. I wouldn't have finished without it. :)
8:26 pm

No problem Nrk. Glad to share Dee's help.
8:26 pm

8:29 pm

I'm glad to be driving back before the next storm comes. I was not looking forward to driving through it.
8:30 pm

Do you have a lot of cleanup nrkii or is it just cleaning out whatever spoiled in your refrigerator?
8:31 pm

I am good now. 10/27 I got hit by a drunk driver at 10:30 a.m. He ran a red light. The force of his car caused my van to spin and then rollover. I was banged up and bruised but no broken bones and thankfully no one was with me. My little red van didn't fair as well. She served us well and helped to save my life. Oh and we got an offer on our house this evening so right now, all is well with us too.
