Lizlin
Ruby - hope you're feeling a bit better today and have some news about Rafaella. Preferably good news!
7:00 am
rubyfoo
she has entropion in one eye and I spoke with the vet and he did surgery this past week and we'll know how she fares i two
7:00 am
rubyfoo
yesterday was the nadire of the winter
7:00 am
Lizlin
Did the vet sound hopeful or noncommittal?
7:01 am
Lizlin
We all have those days and I hope that people here were able to help you a bit :)
7:01 am
rubyfoo
non com but he is also the owner, so I think he was fair
7:01 am
Lizlin
Is your husband treating you better today?
7:02 am
rubyfoo
I am just glad that the condition showed up that early as, if untreated, it's chrnic and none of the vets here have enough experience with chows
7:02 am
rubyfoo
he is a sh** but I'm handling it better, standing up for yself more
7:02 am
rubyfoo
babble helps!
7:02 am
Lizlin
I'm glad it showed up too - well that is if it had to happen at all. She'll get over the surgery quickly - hope it sorts it out for her :)
7:03 am
rubyfoo
they offered us two other babies but she is the one I want
7:03 am
Lizlin
Do you know much about the condition? If it happens in one eye, what's the likelihood of it happening to the other eye or recurring?
7:04 am
Lizlin
You've got your heart set on her - I understand that!
7:04 am
rubyfoo
I don't know enough to say, but it is very common in chows and.surprisingly. in many other breeds, especially the oriental ones
7:05 am
Lizlin
OK - to be brutal - if it doesn't solve her problem, will you take her with an eye problem or one of the other pups. Or will you look further until you find another?
7:05 am
rubyfoo
I fell in love with her photo because she absolutely resembles my first chow chow, Rosie
7:06 am
Lizlin
Brings back lovely memories I'm sure :)
7:06 am
rubyfoo
I'm not sure. Ruby had the problem, never corrected, and she had a constant tear stain down her face, but didn't lose the eye or seem to have any pain
7:07 am
rubyfoo
it is hard to say. She is very expensive and I am reluctant to take on another money drain
7:07 am
Lizlin
I think that's important - that they don't suffer. You can cope with a tear stain. How did it affect her vision?
7:08 am
rubyfoo
Rosie ws thhe most beautiful of all of our chows, she could have been an international grand champion
7:08 am
Lizlin
That's also important - no matter how much you fall in love with her before you have her, it's harder when you do have her - you become much more attached. If the eye will need constant vet attention, that could be very costly.
7:08 am
rubyfoo
it is hard to say about her vision. I think she was OK in that department but in the last 2 yrs, she started to get a little bit def.
7:09 am
Lizlin
In the end, I believe, whatever decision you make will be the right one - even if it's a hard decision to make.
7:09 am
rubyfoo
of course, we love our dogs. no matter what. Max was autistic and very weird. but we loved him. nonetheless
7:10 am
rubyfoo
Max is the black one, pictured. and I would never buy another black chow as I think the inbreeding takes its toll
7:10 am
Lizlin
How can anyone not love dogs? Silly question I know. I love dogs but I know some people don't!
7:10 am
Lizlin
What is a chow's most natural colouring.
7:11 am
rubyfoo
and I know people who, once they lose a dog, do not replace it.
7:11 am
rubyfoo
I think any shade of red through blonde or brown
7:12 am
rubyfoo
There are whitish ones. black ones and also short haired ones, but not for me
7:12 am
rubyfoo
my two expériences with black ones. even though they were beautiful. have been disastrous
7:12 am
Lizlin
I can understand not replacing a dog - we didn't but that's because us kids left home and my parents travelled. I've never had a dog as an adult - life style just isn't fair on it. Too much travelling or in the past work!
7:13 am
rubyfoo
my then to be husband gave me rosie when I left the hospital after cancer surgery. Shetook care of me and was my first dog.
7:13 am
rubyfoo
before that. i thought I was a cat person
7:13 am
Lizlin
I really hope it all works out Ruby - I'll try and catch you this week to keep up with the news. Won't be babbling as we have guests arriving tomorrow from Canada.
7:14 am
rubyfoo
Enjoyyour guests, Lizlin. it's a lot of work but it's lovely to have friends coming from so far way!
7:15 am
Lizlin
Funny - I stayed with my brother after surgery in 2002 - Tessa, the Chocolate lab would wait at the bottom of the stairs for me every morning.
7:15 am
Lizlin
she'd walk next to me - almost supporting me!
7:15 am
rubyfoo
(needless to say . I'm still having problems with the new computer)
7:16 am
Lizlin
Are you finding it any easier as you use it more?
7:16 am
rubyfoo
I've found some. butnot all. of the punctuation.
7:17 am
rubyfoo
But when I write a proper letter. it garbles my paragraphs
7:17 am
rubyfoo
but it's quick!
7:17 am
Lizlin
That's progress! Just tell everyone you're using a modern "text" style of writing and don't need any punctuation or paragraphs!
7:17 am
Lizlin
Quick is good!
7:18 am
rubyfoo
the garbling s weird
7:18 am
Lizlin
Strange - I can understand not finding punctuation but not garbling paras!
7:19 am
rubyfoo
it i s very odd
7:19 am
rubyfoo
I think I'm hitting some key with my pinkie
7:19 am
Lizlin
Possibly - it's probably very touch sensitive.
7:20 am
rubyfoo
and I', a heavy typist
7:21 am
Lizlin
I'm sure that the more you use it, the easier it'll become and you'll probably even gain a lighter touch - bit like driving different cars, they take getting used to!
7:21 am
rubyfoo

Perfect timing then.

how did she like sleeping in a big girl bed?
8:45 am

she did well - probably bolstered by the long, exciting napless day yesterday
8:45 am

a new milestone

8:47 am

but she has a "lifetime" crib - we lowered it long ago, last night the front came off & replaced by a toddler rail. Eventually the sides are replaced, and the front & back become footboard & headboard
8:47 am
dan2bit
so for her, the transition was minimal
8:48 am

those are neat beds. Nothing like that was around when we were raising our boys

no bacon.i thought adding bacon to the brown sugar and maple sausages would of been over the top:)
10:43 am

Oh, no, crossy....bacon is NEVER over the top!!

Lovely, just inspect the garden ruby, leave the pruning for another day

That's what Sundays are for
10:51 am
uusue2
we went furniture shopping (just looking at this point) and then to a Japanese mall for dinner and to pick up some groceries - my son, bless his heart, decided he wanted to come along (he's 23) and we all had a really good time
10:53 am
ChrissieDee
Sounds lovely. Is it mothers day in the US too?
10:53 am
MimiCat
Going to the PB for this, but glad the word queer(s) allowed here...in another game they won't acknowledge the word! Hey, people, it is, after all, an adjective first!
10:54 am
uusue2
no, that's not until May sometime
10:54 am
MimiCat
No, Chrissie, Mother's Day is in May here (and often on my birthday).
10:54 am
MimiCat
Second Sunday in May.
10:55 am
uusue2
well, that is silly, Mimi! It's also a verb, which may be why the plural is accepted. And I've put some nice omelets and hash browns in the PB, so enjoy! :-)
10:55 am
ChrissieDee
It's in March here, 9 months after fathers day:)
10:55 am

10:58 am
MimiCat
You know, sue, if people were more concerned about actually not BEING prejudiced and hateful instead of just trying to be PC about words, we'd all be better off. Words are important but if we didn't have the attitudes, the words would never be offensive since they wouldn't even exist in those contexts. OK---stepping off the soap box now.
10:58 am
MimiCat
Yes, Molly, that is one adorable mouse!!!

This Himalaya show I'm watching along with Babble is arousing my feelings of spiritual harmony.....
11:01 am
MimiCat
I have that in my Netflix queue, sue....will plan on watching it later today...thanks.
11:03 am
MimiCat
Made up word for today: querts....that phenomenon when your spray bottle nozzle doesn't quite get the water to spray and just fizzles.
11:04 am
MollyL
Babble arouses your feelings of spirituality? Or you are watching while playing?
11:05 am
MimiCat
Yes, have it on in the background...Babble mostly makes me hungry listening to everyone's menu.
11:05 am
Deeha
I always try quert and I am always surprised when it is refused!
11:05 am
MimiCat
LOL, Dee.
11:05 am

change the last letter and you do get a real word, though...

when the mrs and i had our first date it just happened to be the the next morning after the fall time change.i was so excited,i forgot to reset the clocks and seeing as how i am habitually an hour early for everything,we showed up at the cinema 2 hours early for the first show.was awkward for a bit hehe
11:15 am
uusue2
no, there's really a comet that is close to the sun right now, should be visible in the northern hemisphere right after sunset if you have an unobstructed view of the horizon and not too much light
11:15 am
MollyL
I'd love to have a place in the country (away from all the lights) and a good telescope.
11:16 am

I po 5/14 over this grid early this mo 4/5ing and got 120 words. Although I don't de4/6 it necessary to do a story,I will write one anyway. So here is a story of clues for the te 5/12 of March. While I was a ne 4/5 in high school and never got in trouble,my sister was making enough trouble for the both of us. She drove my parents ne 5/10 with her antics. My sister was a snob&expected everyone to treat her like a qu5/16 Her pe5/12 influenced her to make bad choices. One time,she had an unfortunate me 4/5ing with a police officer when she put a de 4/5 in my mom's car, along with several other de4/12, after drinking & driving. Needless to say, she got into de 4/6 shit. The police officer suspended her license&her driving priveleges were dr4/6ped. She was grounded for many months. My sister was or 5/12ed not to leave the house once she got home from school. So she mo4/6d around the house.She also got into other so4/5id activities that involved drugs. My parents felt like they were at the end of their ro4/5 with her,but they never gave up. With suppo4/5 from my parents,my sister eventually straightened out. After high school, she found a job, moved out and re4/4ed an apartment. She also went to counseling and so4/4ed out her self-doubt issues. Husband is looking at me with a st 5/10 look because he wants the computer.I am going to go outside and enjoy the warm Spring te4/5eratures and tr 4/5ical-like weather.After that,I'm going to watch the Kevin Bacon film Tr 7/32. I hope you have found so 4/5 mo 4/5 words with this story.I will po4/5 my story in my profile for those who might need it later.I will mo4/5 definitely be back later to get the fireworks. Bye all!

bichon
nan, have a Canadian question for you. Does your health insurance cover you if you retire to the US?
2:15 pm
cosdem
ok i havbe some movies due at the library. bbl
2:17 pm
cybernan
not sure, bichon -- we have insurance from my husband's company that covers 30 days travel insurance, but I would think that for medicare, the primary residence would have to be in Canada. We can submit receipts to medicare when we return from a foreign country, but the amount covered is only for what the same procedure would cost in Canada --- not much good in the states, where medical care is astronomical
2:19 pm
bichon
I was wondering about Canadians who retire to Florida.
2:20 pm
cybernan
It cost my friend almost $700 to have 4 stitches put in her cut finger last winter and the doctor wouldn't even look at her until she paid half up front. It makes one wonder about the ethics of a doctor whose heart and mind his in his wallet.
2:21 pm
bichon
Was this in Florida?
2:21 pm
cybernan
in California
2:22 pm
bichon
Wonder why Canadians would retire to the US, besides the warm southern weather
2:23 pm
cybernan
I wonder why Canadians would retire to the US at all! - lovely to visit in the winter, but wouldn't want to live there!

For sure. But it seems that the Catholic church, with its Chastity laws has created monsters. The unanswered question is, were thesec

These guys monsters before they took their vows, or did the turn them into monsters

Sorry. Did the church turn then into kiddy fiddling monsters.

No, I think they were predisposed before becoming priests.
4:48 pm

4:48 pm

the church needs a stricter screening process for their priests.
4:48 pm
rururocks
I think abusing children is the lowest of the low
4:48 pm
rururocks
exactly cos...
4:49 pm
rururocks
they should allow women priests too
4:49 pm

yep. that too.
4:49 pm
cosdem
and married priests.
4:50 pm
rururocks
yes.. married to any sex.. (watches the Pope pass out)
4:50 pm

Yes, all of that. The screening process is probably the most important though.

A lot of the problems people have with the Catholic doctrine boil down to sex. Denying it, restricting it to child making only, or denying gender (as in women priests)

I think the new pope will be either from Africa or from a Spanish speaking country....South America or Central America.
4:53 pm

I still can't believe the ex-Pope was on Twitter. That just seems so weird to me.
4:54 pm
cosdem
my old parish is on twitter but they only post when someone in the church dies "please pray for such and such. they passed from yadda yadda"
4:54 pm
MollyL
I don't know. They like to keep the Italians in the Vatican and that would make Angelo Scola the odds on favorite.
4:54 pm
rururocks
why not? he's a twit
4:54 pm
Soodle
I think too much shit has come out about Irish clergy for any Irish guy to get the gig
4:54 pm

yeah im betting on scola
4:55 pm

I don't see them electing an American as Pope. There's too much dissension here.

I think the next pope should be a drag queen.. they already dress the part. :D

I don't know about the ex-Pope being a twit. He's the only one who had sense enough to retire in 400 years.

I don't think he chose to "retire" .. I think he vacated as something is coming out about high ranking vatican officials.
4:57 pm
cosdem
it wont be pope scola though. he'll choose a new name
4:57 pm
rururocks
maybe pope sickle?
4:57 pm
cosdem
the church needs a liberal version John Paul II.
4:57 pm

Oh I agree Ru. I don't buy the retirement thing one bit.
4:57 pm

Well if the next Pope is black, we're all done for. According to Nostradamus!

Predessors did.
5:03 pm

well,the bartenders creeo applies here as well i thing.always avoid politic and religion
5:03 pm

and it makes things awkward for the church to have two living Popes.. so its logical that its a lifetime commitment

It really gets my goat to see them prancing around in their high hats, and fancy robes, preaching to the 3rd world that condoms are against the Lord's wishes

sorta bacon bananas foster?
5:30 pm
Dorens
yup, i think so. need to see some recipes to get an idea of time and temp. Hope they didn't do anything first, like dip in brown sugar (which it DID taste like).
5:32 pm
rururocks
dipped in sugar would make sense
5:32 pm

Bananas Foster calls for brown sugar.
5:34 pm
rururocks
that sounds really good crossie
5:35 pm
Dorens
yes, but this is plaintains wrapped in bacon... not really bananas foster at all. I just ate several last week at the wedding, never thought to ask how they were made. Maybe I'll try one out with and without... controlled experiment, before committing to the whole shebang
5:35 pm

8:47 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
well, i don't wear makeup, so, i paid a salon to make me up $50, and the photographer charged me $50 for the photo (he shot a whole role, then gave me prints and digital files of the photo I picked) (this was back when film came on a roll, o' course)
8:47 pm
rururocks
he's afraid of weemees
8:48 pm
welki
but it worked out well, gwen - i did one of those make-up photo things years ago. looks like me - if i worked in a brothel *lol*
8:49 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
yeah, when i went to the salon, they asked me if i wanted First Lady or Prostitute (!)
8:49 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
as you can see (maybe) I asked for Geraldine Ferraro
8:50 pm
welki
oh puhleese - how much effort would it take to post a photo of the dog you waited so long to get (and that we heard about for so long that we felt like we were dylan's aunts and uncles)?
8:51 pm
welki
teeny resemblance, but only now that you mention it, gwen.
8:51 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
hey, it's still my face lol

8:59 pm

9:07 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

9:15 pm
lilliann
hi all, just read through the chat, and ne4 is not english for turnip. turnip is turnip.ne4 is scottish for swede which they and the northern english where i live call it turnip but it isn't as swede and turnip are two different veg and my hubby and i have this argument all the time
9:15 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
lordy lordy lordy! i mean, hi lilliann! 8-)
9:16 pm
Douglas
However, it is common for Scots to eat ne4's and tatties with a serving of haggis
9:16 pm
welki
hi, lilliann - the famous vegetable war :)
9:16 pm
lilliann
hi gwen :)
9:16 pm
lilliann
ne4 is swede and tatties with haggis, not turnip
9:17 pm
lilliann
turnips are white and smaller and are given to cows
9:17 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
ha ha, if you click on ne4, it is defined as a turnip (i have no stake in this dictionary0 lol
9:18 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
there are a million (give or take) words in english and mo4 of them have mo4 than one definition
9:18 pm
lilliann
swede is ne4 and is yellow and i love swede and then we have turnips...it is a south/north divide on the veg :)
9:18 pm
Douglas
lilliann, do you mean that when a Scot orders some haggis with ne4's and tatties, she's not getting turnips on the side?
9:18 pm
welki
an editorial on swede v. turnip: http://tinyurl.com/yh6ca7c
9:19 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
oh, no, !! lol
9:19 pm
lilliann
if you look on a gardening or cookery website, they are two different veg, which they are
9:20 pm
lilliann
no it is swede and i had ne4 and tatties with haggis at another babbler's home is scottish
9:20 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i believe ya, lilliann! (in the book biz we have similar arguments)
9:21 pm
lilliann
i bet you do gwen :0
9:21 pm
welki
as we do in the fishing community - the walleye/pickerel argument
9:21 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
someone recently asked, on a used-book discussion list, how one would define antiquarian. there were several answers that did not jibe, all from legitimate antiquarian dealers
9:22 pm
lilliann
walleye? i've heard of a pickerel welki
9:23 pm
welki
some say they're the same, others say they're different. in either case, they're delicious :)
9:23 pm
Deutsch
Here are my pennies. I thought ne 4 was a type of tide.
9:23 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
something like fish or veggies is bound to have regional names that differ from one another (one of my hobbies is folklore are this is a normal aspect of language one finds in folklore)
9:24 pm
lilliann
that's the thing gwen, books and websites all say differnet things, so you never know what is right and what isn't
9:24 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
case in point: US coins say "cent" on them and they are officially "cents" but everyone calls them pennies, which is techincally incorrect. (but who cares??) lol
9:25 pm
lilliann
but a swede is yellow and turnips are white and they taster totally different! :)lol
9:25 pm
welki
you say tomahto and i say tomato :)
9:25 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
and i say *you* eat it lol
9:25 pm
welki
hi, deutsch
9:26 pm
lilliann
hi deutsch.that's a new one on me :)
9:26 pm
welki
yep, at the end, they come out the same *lol*
9:26 pm
Deutsch
Hi, welki! and the rest!
9:26 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
another cas ein point. here in the US we have "double dutch" and "going dutch" and all sorts of "dutch" terms which are of german origin, because the german word for german is Deutsch. true!
9:27 pm
rururocks
ein point?
9:27 pm
lilliann
i never knew that about the cents gwen, we call them cents here
9:27 pm
welki
<-- double dutched as a kid (jump rope style) - and going dutch would mean the same to me as dutch treat
9:27 pm
lilliann
lol welki
9:28 pm
rururocks
we passed the dutchie in highschool
9:28 pm
Deutsch
Yup, I'm Deutsch because I'm German. Lots of my relatives are still in PA disguised as Dutch.
9:28 pm
welki
and here, tim horton's sells a donut called a dutchie - which is a square yeast donut that has raisins in it and is glazed
9:29 pm
lilliann
'pas s the dutchie on the left hand side',dad da da dadadadada
9:29 pm
welki
hahaha - 'here' - i'm in new jersey! i meant 'here' as in home :)
9:29 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i need 3 more words, all Ts. who has a list?
9:29 pm
lilliann
sorry, i'm singing the song now. that's ru's fault.i'm trying to think who sang it...a young boy band
9:30 pm
rururocks
what are you doing in NJ welki?
9:30 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
we have regional terms that exist in michigan (and in canada) but you go a little bit south and they are unknown
9:30 pm
lilliann
i haven't got a clue gwen, i have 39 left
9:30 pm

9:31 pm
rururocks
ru's fault .. ru's fault.. why is it always ru's fault :D
9:31 pm
rururocks
oh nice welki.. double nice in fact
9:32 pm
lilliann
that's why my hubby and i have this argument gwen, because i'm a southerner origininally(england) and he is a northerner so we have so many different words and sayings
9:32 pm
lilliann
that's right molly :0
9:32 pm
lilliann

lilliann

9:34 pm

9:34 pm
MollyL
Such is life when you are an evil pot stirrer.
9:34 pm
rururocks

9:36 pm
lilliann

Book Doctor Gwen

9:41 pm
lilliann

9:43 pm
lilliann
i could do with a list gwen, but i'm sure there are people here that have one,i'm sure molly normally has one so you don't need to waste your time
9:44 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
okay, list is in my profile
9:45 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
(this is me trying a new thing, and i don't do that very often, lol)
9:46 pm
MollyL
Yep, usually someone does a list shortly after the flip and I copy it into my profile to pass it along. Nice job Gwen.
9:46 pm
lilliann
tyvm gwen.very much appreciated :)
9:46 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
(plus a relatively easy grid, otherwise no way would i be able to post one!)
9:46 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
aw, gee, thanks 8-)
9:48 pm
lilliann
i'm computor thick and haven't got a clue how to copy things. sometimes i can copy and paste but if it is more technical...then i have 2 hopes...bob hoipe and no hope :0
9:50 pm
lilliann
i recently treated myself to a tablet and i have no idea how to use the blooming thing.my daughter knows more than me and she hasn't got one! saying that, my memory problems don't help.if only i was 13 again :)
9:51 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
it's a whole diff operating system, a mean the phones and tablets and little bitty puters they have these days. i'm still using a desktop model
9:52 pm
MollyL
Or 3 Lilliann. Think of the fun you could have in men's locker rooms. : D
9:52 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
and still running the dreadful windows. but at least i know most of its quirks and how to wrestle the thing down when it acts up
9:53 pm
MollyL
Don't get Windows 8 then, it's all based on that freaky phone stuff.
9:58 pm
lilliann
i could have loads of fun now molly :)just thinking about it is making me all quivery..lol how the hell do you remember what people say?i can't remember what i said 2 minutes ago. i have to keep scrolling down to see what we have all said
9:59 pm
lilliann
i must be so behind as we have windows xp
10:06 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
nope, stickin' with "old" windows for now
10:06 pm
MollyL
In my opinion, Windows has not improved much since XP. I have a somewhat photographic memory Lilliann. Not completely, but usually when it comes to people and what they have said. Which makes repeaters very boring.
10:09 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
looks like i jinxed myself! windows is acting up. gonna reboot the beast. bye till later!
10:09 pm
mkg
hi all. anyone got the other seven or any sixes? i have mo 7.
10:09 pm
mkg
i have half old and half new windows. it makes no difference.
10:09 pm
mkg
ooooooooops. i htought you were speaking of house windows. sorry.
10:11 pm
mkg
got all the q words. whew
10:13 pm
lilliann
well that will be me then molly, but i don't have any choice in repeating myself.years ago before my disabilities, i had a great memory and was probably like you, remembered everything people did and said, but the problem with life is that we never know what is around the corner and i've learnt, take 1 day at time and live that day :)
10:13 pm
lilliann
bye gwen.tc
10:13 pm
lilliann
hi mkg and lol
10:14 pm
MollyL
Actually Lilliann, I have never found you to be one who repeats things here.
10:15 pm
lilliann
tr7, what earthquakes do mkg
10:16 pm
lilliann
really molly?i'm glad about that, but i probably have but you've not been here
10:16 pm
lilliann
my bairn and hubby always have a go at me for repeating myself
10:17 pm
lilliann
mkg, i meant what you get from an earthquake..tr6 /7
10:19 pm
jmcnrick
i figure if i have heard the story before there maybe someone else in the room who has not. . .
10:21 pm
jmcnrick
ty you lill
10:21 pm
MollyL
It's okay Lilliann. People don't like it when you remember things (like mushy peas). Or that they were 47 on their last birthday and are magically 49 on this one. : D
10:24 pm
lilliann
the problaem is jmc, i can't remember who i've spoken too and what about
10:25 pm
MollyL
But JMC's "how I met my husband" story is the best and she can tell that story as many times as she wants.
: D
10:26 pm
jmcnrick
well i would rather someone tell me something twice that not at all . . .for example i ran into a friend about 5 years ago and didn't realize that she didn't know my husband died. . .
10:26 pm
jmcnrick
ty ty it is a funny story!
10:26 pm
MollyL
It's the best. You two had a great love story.
10:27 pm
jmcnrick
we were very much in love. . . mo** of the time! haha
10:27 pm
lilliann
molly,you're a bitch(by the way, i'm joking for people who think i'm not)as in the mushy peas!and i hope you're not talking about me being 47/49?? :)
10:28 pm
lilliann
i've never heard jmc's story.please tell
10:28 pm
MollyL
No Lillann. I know that you are only 29.
10:28 pm
jmcnrick
ah it is his 60th birthday today. . . i am a little blue. . .
10:29 pm
lilliann
pffft molly, i'm 25 :)
10:29 pm
jmcnrick
i was representing some demonstrators. . . it was my first solo on representing in criminal court
10:29 pm
MollyL
See, I am a bitch. I didn't even get your age right.
: P
10:29 pm
lilliann
told you :)
10:29 pm
lilliann
told you :)
10:30 pm
jmcnrick
they had been jailed for a nonjailable offense but i couldn't spring them because they were using aliases of people with whom they were in solidarity. . .
10:30 pm
lilliann
told you my memory was going..lol
10:30 pm
jmcnrick
so i would go into the lawyers lounge and ask other lawyers how to do this and how to do that. . .
10:31 pm
jmcnrick
there were some lawyers who were jerks but mo** of them were helpful especially these two really cute guys. . .
10:31 pm
jmcnrick
in particular this one guy help me with this and that and I finally got my clients out of jail. . .
10:32 pm
jmcnrick
so i was in the corridor and saw the helpful cute guy and we got to talking about my case and how it went and this and that. . .
10:33 pm
jmcnrick
and as we were standing there the door to the lawyers lounge would open and bang into him. . .
10:33 pm
jmcnrick
after a while i said, that has to hurt. . .we could move. . .and he said no no its okay. . .
10:34 pm
jmcnrick
what i did know but found out later that week when we went on our first date (which started friday night and finished when I left for Meeting for worship on Sunday) was that my blouse had fallen open and in those days i did not wear a bra and he had a clear view of my right tit. . . he was afraid if we moved he it would get covered up. . .
10:35 pm
jmcnrick
he claimed he first fell in love with my right tit. . . which is a sweet story since we married but would have been creepy if we had not!
10:36 pm
lilliann
omg.i love it jmc.that could be a book :)
10:36 pm
jmcnrick
i have thought about writing a short story. . .
10:37 pm
lilliann
that was some first date :)
10:37 pm
jmcnrick
well my attitude was that if i didn't want to sleep with him on my first date there was no point in a second. . .
10:38 pm
lilliann
good attitude but i won't be saying that to my daughter :)
10:38 pm
jmcnrick
okay i am 1/2 done so i think i am out of here. . .
10:38 pm
jmcnrick
no i didn't even say that to my son!!!
10:39 pm
jmcnrick
didn't mean i had to go to bed with him. . . just want to
10:39 pm
jmcnrick
59 left. . . bye all. . . *poof*
