I just read ansoodle article about snakes inn Ireland, sending it to

10:30 am

rubyfoo

oops, hit the wrong key

10:31 am

rubyfoo

there's a funny key on this Fr keyboard that looks like a fish skeleton and if I hit it with my errant pinkie, it garbles my sentences.....

10:32 am

Jillyjill

I sorta wish all keyboards would match. My issue is that the delete key is different in all 4 keyboards that I use...

10:32 am

rubyfoo

you use 4 keyboards! You must be a tech whiz

10:33 am

Jillyjill

Between my two laptops, hubby's laptop and my keyboard at work....

10:33 am

rubyfoo

I have enough trouble with my one

10:34 am

rubyfoo

I finally got a new computer and it is vwery fast, so that's a big improvement, but now there is a lot of stuff I can't find

10:35 am

bichon

ruby, any news on the puppy?

10:35 am

rubyfoo

no news and I thought we'd have heard by now

10:36 am

rubyfoo

ty for asking

10:36 am

Jillyjill

Puppy??

10:36 am

rubyfoo

she was born on 3 January, so still is very young

10:37 am

rubyfoo

yes, Jilly, Ruby died on 20 February and this is Rafaella, who lives in Barcelona with her brothers

10:37 am

rubyfoo

I would like to erase February from my life!

10:38 am

Jillyjill

Oh ruby, so very sorry, guess we haven't been on together for awhile. We share that month in mourning...had to put our beloved Tipper down 4 years ago...((hugs))

10:39 am

bichon

ruby, can you find a different puppy?

10:40 am

rubyfoo

they have another female, but she is much less to rosieour taste and Rafaella looks just like my first chow

10:40 am

rubyfoo

Jill the only good thing is that Ruby died in her sleep in her usual place and position and she had had a very good day. Her heart just quit

10:41 am

bichon

rosieour?

10:42 am

rubyfoo

no. That is my errant pinkie -- Rosie was my first chow chow -- she is the reason I love dogs

10:42 am

Jillyjill

Ours was such a hard decision to make, Tipper was still joyful but her hind legs were ravaged with arthritis and she needed help just getting up...

10:42 am

rubyfoo

Burt gave her to me when I had the big C and she took care of me

10:43 am

bichon

I've been through a similar situation with putting a dog down. He was still eating, but I had to carry him outside

10:43 am

rubyfoo

that's what happened with our Rufus; he couldn't move his back end and was very embarrassed

10:43 am

bichon

I did not know you had cancer rugy

10:43 am

bichon

*ruby

10:43 am

rubyfoo

yes, in 1990

10:44 am

rubyfoo

had very strong treatment and think I'm OK

10:44 am

rubyfoo

I'm very lucky

10:45 am

Jillyjill

And we are very happy you are!

10:45 am

rubyfoo

that is very sweet, jill, thank you

10:45 am

bichon

23 years ago, that sounds like a cure

10:45 am

rubyfoo

I think I bring a bit too much drama to the chog sometimes

10:46 am

Jillyjill

Trust me ruby, you do NOT hold that 'award'....LOL

10:46 am

rubyfoo

and I irritate several people.....

10:46 am

rubyfoo

hahah

10:46 am

bichon

no drama too dramatic here for us

10:46 am

bichon

You don't irriate me

10:46 am

Jillyjill

There's a BIG differene between sharing our life and drama...

10:46 am

Jillyjill

*difference

10:47 am

rubyfoo

I don't know; my nasty husband made a big point today about "not sharing personal stuff" and how proud he is of himself about that

10:47 am

rubyfoo

I think he's wrong

10:48 am

bichon

Is he German <ggg>

10:48 am

rubyfoo

12:43 pm

TraderKate

this grid seems to be a bit of a stinker, just started, but i am sure i will have to list soon. Monday is not very nice here in southern ontario - windy cold and gray... snow/ice/rain on its way :((

12:46 pm

car.eeyore

It is on the way here for tomorrow.

12:48 pm

TraderKate

1:25 pm

stidgmere

Hello. Just getting started. Almost spring. Is that what you are counting TraderKate?

1:26 pm

TraderKate

even with the list, it is still a tricky grid...
hi stidggie, no it was sort of a clue for a fishy one

1:26 pm

stidgmere

Oh. Months and seasons maybe. As I said, I'm just starting.

1:27 pm

TraderKate

lol....... PB

1:28 pm

stidgmere

oh rats. I see it now. and it is into the PB I go. I shall take my snack of jerky and sit quietly.

1:29 pm

TraderKate

<monday free pass> it's too quiet for you to go in there, i'll be all alone....

1:29 pm

stidgmere

also nice direction word.

1:29 pm

TraderKate

:)

1:30 pm

stidgmere

I'll whisper to you through the bars.

1:30 pm

stidgmere

I have clothes in the dryer and not much else going on at my house.

1:31 pm

BzznBea

I never thought about there being bars on the pb. LOL!

1:31 pm

TraderKate

are you still getting the unusual weather there? you were getting a lot of snow, weren't you?

1:31 pm

LeslieAnn

yes i imagined it like hockey. plate of glass, you have to watch everyone else play

1:32 pm

TraderKate

for all the times i have been in the PB, i never saw the bars - there is some nice lattice though, with wisteria twining through it

1:32 pm

stidgmere

We got a sprinkle of snow and hail yesterday in the great northwest. Sunny and green as Ireland today.

1:32 pm

stidgmere

If there are cabana boys in the pb, wouldn't there be bars?

1:32 pm

BzznBea

Got to bzz...pfft!

1:33 pm

TraderKate

bye bea

1:34 pm

TraderKate

are the bars to keep the cabana boys in, or badly behaved babblers with evil intentions out?

1:34 pm

stidgmere

Oh, for the longest time I thought PB meant peanut butter so I was really confused why people had to put on peanut butter. Just a Babble feature, I thought.

1:34 pm

LeslieAnn

ha. well we randomly talk about fish, why not peanut butter?

1:35 pm

TraderKate

lol, smeaared with peanubutter and thrown into PB without a towel... ;))

1:35 pm

stidgmere

Bars to serve the cocktails from in my thinking.

1:35 pm

stidgmere

And we monkey things. That could be pretty outrageous, too.

1:36 pm

TraderKate

ahh... much better! belly up to the bar and let the cabana boys mix up a nice mai tai :))

1:36 pm

TraderKate

... it took me a while to catch on about the fish too!

1:36 pm

stidgmere

You must know where your towel is. Rule Number something in Hitchiker's Guide.

1:37 pm

stidgmere

I must pay attention to the grid for a while, Trader. Could you just drink that mai tai and swirl the swizzle stick by yourself?

1:38 pm

TraderKate

... yes - Don't Panic, and always carry your towel with you...
too bad douglas adams is no longer with us, i really enjoyed his books :(

1:38 pm

TraderKate

;)

1:38 pm

stidgmere

Me too. I think running a sandwich shop went up in my estimation since reading those stories.

1:40 pm

TraderKate

wanted to visit the restaurant at the end of the universe, myself - what a floor show!

1:41 pm

stidgmere

That would be a lovely theme park for adults.

1:42 pm

TraderKate

also want to visit a slightly tamer version of jurasssic park :))

1:43 pm

jmcnrick

i may still have a picture of the pb somewhere. . . it looks like a lovely kitchen . . .

1:44 pm

TraderKate

hi jmc! if you find it, show it to us please

1:44 pm

jmcnrick

found it. . . brb

1:45 pm

MollyL

It's in FM's profile.

1:45 pm

TraderKate

i will go see if i can

1:45 pm

jmcnrick

here it is

1:47 pm

TraderKate

lovely! how clever too! i will have to take a closer look at all the items in there... lolol... sign saying do not feed the trollls ;))

1:48 pm

jmcnrick

you see there is templeowl and peri and a pool for the cabana boys and an ice box for all the fish. . .

1:48 pm

MollyL

It's kind of squooshed in JMC's icon pic.

1:49 pm

TraderKate

ah, when yu put it as yur icon, you can't see the detail at all, it doesn't "size up"... i had her in my friends list, so was able to see it that way

1:51 pm

MollyL

Lots of symbolism there I don't get. Must be for old time Babble players.

1:52 pm

stidgmere

I see darts, a frig, a pool. Why would anyone want to come out of the PB when it is as good as it is.

1:52 pm

jmcnrick

still squashed but clearer

1:53 pm

MollyL

I don't see a hot tub. That must have come later.

1:53 pm

jmcnrick

you can still find her in rankings

1:53 pm

jmcnrick

the hot tub did come later but we can assume it is on the other side of the pool

1:53 pm

TraderKate

i tried to copy/paste it to my profile so others could see, but it won't let me - there is a dart board for dart maybe?

1:54 pm

Nef

Good Afternoon, Everyone.

1:54 pm

2:13 pm

MollyL

Don't mind Nef, she's on commission. : P

2:13 pm

jmcnrick

i agree with nef

2:13 pm

TraderKate

bye mamacita... congratulations and welcome!

2:14 pm

Nef

LOL! Molly, it was the best $$$ I ever spent online. Why shouldn't I encourage others to join? (I *wish* I could get commission for newbies)

2:15 pm

TraderKate

...speaking of joining up.. will anyone tell me who sponsored me so i can thank them and repay them...

2:15 pm

jmcnrick

even if it were a 100% commission you wouldn't earn that much! haha

2:16 pm

jmcnrick

repay them bye buying someone else a membership

2:16 pm

jmcnrick

i have no clue trader. .

2:17 pm

TraderKate

yes, i thought of that, but i am not around enough to see many newbies

2:17 pm

Nef

The only way to tell is that your date of joining Babble is your benefactors date (I think). There isn't any other way to tell unless someone admits to it.

2:18 pm

TraderKate

i am pretty sure my date is my own nef...and i have been unsuccessful in gettting anyone to "fess up"

2:19 pm

jmcnrick

no my date is my own and someone bought mine too

2:19 pm

jmcnrick

you just saw pastor and mamc trader

2:19 pm

MollyL

No, you membership date is the date you become an official member.

2:19 pm

MollyL

*your membership

2:20 pm

Nef

really, jmc? That was how someone tracked me down; so I thought it was still that way.

2:20 pm

TraderKate

never saw them before today, though they do seem to know each other...

2:20 pm

MollyL

No, she is hinting that you should sponsor their membership.

2:20 pm

jmcnrick

i bet someone just ratted you out nef

2:21 pm

TraderKate

i was thinking about giving one to smores, but she joined up before i got around to looking into it

2:21 pm

TraderKate

i think she has been a wonderful addition to our little family :)

2:21 pm

jmcnrick

she was saying see doesn't see newbies. . . there are oldies without memberships too. . .but for some of them i think is a case of choice

2:22 pm

Nef

mam was here the other day; she knows smores and someone else in real life (can't remember the name; starts with a d and is long)

2:22 pm

jmcnrick

yes smores is fun

2:22 pm

MollyL

I agree, I think some people are fine with not being pro members.

2:22 pm

TraderKate

like anything, i think it is wise to see if they'll stay around for a while first

2:23 pm

jmcnrick

diane maybe?

2:23 pm

Nef

very true, TK

2:24 pm

jmcnrick

i am only laying out options. . .i have no vested interest. . .:-)

2:24 pm

periwinkle

hi all

2:24 pm

Nef

no; to me the d person is a guy, but please don't ask me to think too much today as it's hard work.

2:25 pm

sajarn

first ro6?

2:25 pm

TraderKate

poor nef, she is soo ill, her brain hurts ;)

2:26 pm

TraderKate

one who does the ro 5/10 before it?

2:26 pm

Nef

sinuses, TK. And throat and etc.

2:26 pm

TraderKate

.. or the male chicken missing a consonant...

2:26 pm

sajarn

ty ty ty!

2:26 pm

jmcnrick

hi peri

2:27 pm

jmcnrick

hi sajarn

2:27 pm

TraderKate

2:27 pm

2:27 pm

TraderKate

hi sajarn and peri :)

2:27 pm

jmcnrick

*makes bowl of homemade chicken noodle for nef*

2:27 pm

MollyL

Me either

2:28 pm

TraderKate

toss out the "t" in the male chicken

2:28 pm

jmcnrick

the chicken that crows minus one letter

2:28 pm

periwinkle

it was a new word for me

2:28 pm

Nef

doing theVit. C; chicken soup and honey lemon tea, TK. Out of zinc; plus I've had a sinus infection for over a week; so doubt the zinc will help

2:28 pm

jmcnrick

its been in the grid once before. . .

2:29 pm

jmcnrick

have you neen to the doctor for antibiotics for the sinus infection?

2:29 pm

TraderKate

no definition, but scottish in origin for the root of the word

2:30 pm

Nef

thanks for the soup, jmc. Today I told DH I probably should go in and be seen; but going out in this blizzard isn't my idea of fun.

2:30 pm

TraderKate

lolol... physician, heal thyself ;)
hope it passes soon, sinus infections are not pleasant

2:31 pm

jmcnrick

no not a good plan in a blizzard

2:31 pm

MollyL

Nef, it's been blizzarding for a week???

2:31 pm

jmcnrick

the ro5 before it is a celtic word for heather. . . canna see how to make that into a person? one who heathers?

2:32 pm

Nef

My head cleared up on Friday night, but it came back Sat. evening again. I'm doing all the "right" things so far

2:32 pm

MollyL

Do sinus infections go away on their own?

2:32 pm

Nef

no Molly. THis blizzard hit this AM. Our driveway is snowed back in (the plow guy was by earlier)

2:35 pm

Nef

aI'm doing the increased humidity, nasal saline sprays; warm packs, etc. to loosen it up and get the gunk out. That will often allow the sinsuses to drain and the infection may go away.

2:35 pm

TraderKate

mh word defined...
Electricity . the SI unit of electrical conductance, equal to the reciprocal of the ohm and replacing the equivalent MKS unit

2:36 pm

jmcnrick

it is the plural of the last name of the guy who thought it up. . .

2:36 pm

MollyL

Oh yeah, that one will stick in my brain.

2:36 pm

jmcnrick

just remeber ohms backwards . . . .

2:37 pm

TraderKate

if i remember my grade 7 science class.. he made a hardness scale for minerals etc.... a diamond is 10 and graphite is 1

2:37 pm

MollyL

I had no idea you could get rid of an infection without antibiotics. I have learned my something new today.

2:39 pm

TraderKate

most of the time, your body will fight it off on its own, as long as your immune system is okay, problem is that it usually takes more time than you're willing to give it... and all the pain/discomfort that goes along with it

2:39 pm

sajarn

hi back, jmcnrick-got lost in the grid, I hope you are well

2:41 pm

jmcnrick

a bit of a headache. . .i think it is from lack of sleep. . . work up after an hour for no apparent reason and stayed up until 5 am

2:41 pm

Nef

Molly, if the infection is viral, then no amount or type of antibiotic will help. If it's bacterial, then you can use the antibiotics

2:41 pm

Nef

yuk, jmc! That's no fun!

2:41 pm

MollyL

How do you know which is which?

2:41 pm

jmcnrick

I am coming to Colorado in July . . . if you are around maybe we can meet up. . .

2:42 pm

jmcnrick

no it wasn't but i got a lot of cleaning done. . .i have found that if i am not going to sleep that getting something done makes it almost worthwhile. . .

2:42 pm

stidgmere

Fire works early for me. Have a great day. Going to warm up soup for lunch.

2:42 pm

Nef

Since you asked, Molly;there's an old saying about the color of the snot

2:43 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hooo stidg!!

2:43 pm

TraderKate

bye stidggie, congratulations!

2:43 pm

jmcnrick

2:45 pm

bichon

Hi Kate, something to tell you. Have you ever heard of the skating page, FSU. It has lots of forums and blogging. You do have to pay a small amount to get to the competition forums.

2:45 pm

jmcnrick

hi bichon

2:46 pm

Nef

hi bichon.

2:46 pm

bichon

i nef, jmc

2:46 pm

TraderKate

hi bichon! hadn't heard of that one either.. for next season i will look into a few of them. i will have to set up a paypal account i think

2:47 pm

jmcnrick

try to avoid paypal. . .they cheated me. . .

2:47 pm

jmcnrick

i use credit cards and bank accounts but not paypal. . .

2:47 pm

bichon

I think you do need PayPal. If you send me your email address [muffinbiscuit@gmail.com] I will send you the URL

2:48 pm

bichon

I've used PayPal a lot on EBay, but can't say I've had any problem

2:49 pm

jmcnrick

they held my money for 2 mo5s claiming it was my bank but it was out of my account and my bank said they gave it to paypal. . .

2:49 pm

Nef

I've used for years; I've never had a problem with i, jmc. How did they cheat you?

2:49 pm

jmcnrick

multiply that times the number of transactions they do. . .

2:50 pm

jmcnrick

*claiming that my bank put a hold on it

2:50 pm

TraderKate

therein lies the problem jmc,
bichon e-mail is c_k_skinner@yahoo.ca (not .com)
e-mail is also in my pofile, i think... i will make a point of looking at it in the next few days - i haven't been checking e-mail regularly for a while

2:50 pm

Nef

wow.

2:51 pm

jmcnrick

i spoke with the manager of my branch at the time. . .

2:52 pm

bichon

Kate, I sent you the URL. The forums marked private are those you need to join for. I read it a whole lot. Lots of Canadians on it. You can tell, they love their skaters

2:54 pm

TraderKate

they always say we are so suupportive and knowledgeable, but i wonder if they don't say that to everyone? i'd like to think that we pull for everyone and just want a really great competition regardless of nationality

2:56 pm

bichon

I think so Kate. But I think the Canadians cheer and then some

2:57 pm

TraderKate

i was screqaming my head off! for everyone :))

3:00 pm

bichon

Did you watch the Ladies? I felt badly for Osmond, she has great potential.

3:00 pm

TraderKate

gonna take 5, only need 5 words now. bbs

3:00 pm

jmcnrick

bye trader

3:09 pm

TraderKate

watched all of it that was aired bichon. that was a lot of pressure for a 17 year old, thought she did very well under the circumstances, looking forward to watching her in the future.
thought the whole competition was really exciting - held my breath more than once....

3:12 pm

hello again everyone :)

3:21 pm

Nef

ANd if Molly is around; she should be glad to know I called the Nurse Line and told them my symptoms and what I'm doing for my sinuses and cold; and I don't have to be seen; just continue home remedies. (My nurse friend bullied me i*** it because of DH being immunosuppressed)

3:22 pm

Nef

Hi smores.

3:22 pm

smores

Just got back from a job interview ( hate interviews)

3:22 pm

smores

Hi Nef :)

3:22 pm

TraderKate

hi smores :)
nef - are you using saline solution spray for nose? it helps..

3:22 pm

Nef

Oh! How did it go?

3:23 pm

Nef

Yes, maam (TK)

3:23 pm

TraderKate

<---- crossing fingers for smores

3:23 pm

Nef

I believe in that stuff; I actually make the saline , boil it and the containers and refill them.

3:24 pm

TraderKate

3:24 pm

Nef

what position was the interview for smores?

3:25 pm

smores

I think it went well, of course won't know anything for a few days.

3:25 pm

Nef

TK, it's also better for the environment. And yes, I use generic too

3:26 pm

TraderKate

you must keep us abreast smores... details please :)

3:29 pm

Nef

3:29 pm

TraderKate

3:30 pm

TraderKate

3:31 pm

Nef

3:35 pm

TraderKate

Nef

(I know zip about that type of job)

3:39 pm

smores

Company is called Smart Warehousing, they are a storage and fulfillment center for various companies.

3:41 pm

smores

*their

3:41 pm

Nef

that sounds even more interesting to me.

3:42 pm

smores

I have done similar work on a smaller scale.

3:43 pm

smores

Have also done outbound shipping for Amazon
Fulfillment Center.

3:43 pm

Nef

Wow; then this does sound like something you'd be good at. (Did you tell them that?)

3:44 pm

smores

:) of course

3:44 pm

smores

But the job market is pretty rough right now so I'm not getting my hopes up.

3:45 pm

Nef

Crossing fingers, toes and everything else for you; sending good mojo your way on this job. :-)

3:45 pm

smores

Thank you Nef :)

3:45 pm

3:50 pm

MimiCat

Hi, everyone! Did anyone watch the TV show "24" when it was on? I'm watching back-to-back episodes on my Roku via Netflix....wow...that Bauer family has MEGA drama!

4:00 pm

smores

Hey Mimi :)

4:00 pm

Nef

bye TK!

4:00 pm

smores

No..never got into it

4:00 pm

MimiCat

(smores) You ever watch 24?

4:01 pm

Nef

me neither, Mimi

4:01 pm

smores

Can't remember now, but it was on the same time as something else I watched...lol

4:01 pm

MimiCat

You know, I couldn't get into it either when it was still running but it's actually pretty good and lots of people were totally hooked on it. Give it a try on Netflix.

4:01 pm

smores

Just might do that

4:01 pm

MollyL

24 was one of the best shows on TV. I liked some seasons more than others.

4:02 pm

smores

Currently getting caught up on White Collar

4:02 pm

MimiCat

Be prepared, though---it's totally wearing me out! Their 24 hours is like anyone else's entire LIFE!

4:02 pm

MimiCat

I used to like White Collar but just grew bored with it. The lead guy is "pretty" but too skinny.

4:03 pm

smores

lol

4:03 pm

MimiCat

I like big men....OK, put those dirty thoughts away...

4:04 pm

cgypsy

9 to go and all I can think about is burnt butterscotch ice cream with baileys!

bit of a public notice here asfter a year of warning,microsoft is now rolling out its new outlook software and will be mothballing hotmail and its instant messanger.for those who instant message a lot i advise loading skype as you can use your friends email addy to import them over to skype and once they load im and get a user name as well you can chit chat on instant messanger there

Soodle

Son of Soodle brought a pal home with him from England this weekend, to savour the 'Real Saint Patricks Day'. The poor lad is in a catatonic mess!

5:53 pm

MollyL

Good for Son Of Soodle for teaching the poor deprived lad how to party like the big boys.

5:53 pm

Soodle

Slight exageration!! He's pretty badly hungover, but he'll live to fight another day!

5:54 pm

MollyL

Well that is what happens when you spend your life sipping tea. : P

5:55 pm

Soodle

Lol Molly. My house resembled the last days of the Somme this morning. There were bodies strewn everywhere...

5:56 pm

MollyL

Isn't that the proper way for an Irish house to look the day after Saint Patrick's Day? : D

5:57 pm

MollyL

Soodle, love your icon. I have a t-shirt that says I'M THE IRISH WOMAN YOUR MOTHER WARNED YOU ABOUT

5:58 pm

Soodle

Mammy Soodle sprang into action, and delivered rashers, sausages, black& white pudding, mushrooms, tomatoes & fried potatoes to the troops! Nobody died!

5:59 pm

MollyL

I'm a firm believer in eating away a hangover.

6:00 pm

MollyL

However, what you all see in black and white pudding I will never know.

6:00 pm

Soodle

Thats the next verse, eggs and eggs....

6:05 pm

MollyL

So what are all the alcohol metabolizing youth doing tonight?

6:07 pm

Soodle

All in the recovery position, Molls. Paul has returned to the UK. The whole performance will be repeated in two weekd.....

6:08 pm

Soodle

Weeks....

6:08 pm

MollyL

Well, that is a respectable amount of time in between.

6:09 pm

MollyL

And Mother has time to heal her weary self and be ready for round two.

6:10 pm

Soodle

For sure Molls. I'm girding my loins as I type!

6:12 pm

Soodle

Is it the Fifth Amendment I should plead here? Whatever. No gorey details. Sanctimonious silence!

6:20 pm

MollyL

Sorry. No invoking The Fifth Amendment by Non-US citizens. No wonder the kids were partying down. Mom was gettin' busy elsewhere. Hoo-ah!

6:21 pm

Soodle

Saint Soodle of Babbleonia has no comment!

6:21 pm

MollyL

Sounds like the shamrock wasn't the only thing that got drowned last night. Ahahaha!

6:24 pm

MollyL

But *cough* yeah, *sputter* all you did was *laugh* drive the kids around *cough*

6:26 pm

crosshair

yes! gory details!! filth ! smut! inquiring minds want to know!!

hello

9:56 pm

Nef

Hi CNT. I'm just returning myself. I kept getting the red boxes of doom earlier; still have 35 left,but heading forbed soon

9:56 pm

CrackersNTea

I like CNT - I used to be TnC but had a foul up so I had to change my name. Good to see you.

9:56 pm

Nef

hi penquis. I don't think I've met you before!

9:57 pm

CrackersNTea

I have not met Penquis or Bugsaw

9:59 pm

penquis

i have been more of a lurker... ;o)

9:59 pm

MollyL

Bugs has been around for a long time.

10:00 pm

CrackersNTea

I was gone for a long time

10:00 pm

CrackersNTea

Hi Molly

10:01 pm

Nef

it's okay to lurk. Usually when I look (after thinking I'm alone here); there's somewhere around 60-100 lurkers here. But whether they are really "here" or off surfing the 'net is debatable.

10:02 pm

Nef

Where have you been CNT? Life changes keeping you away or what?

10:03 pm

CrackersNTea

My sign on didn't work, then I got a job, then my dad passed, life got crazy and it is starting to settle into a routine,l so I came back. I miss my word games. My kids are bigger now, too, so they can handle a few things on their own.

10:04 pm

Nef

You have 2 kids, right? are they in elementary school now?

10:04 pm

CrackersNTea

I do - great memory! Tea is 9, 10 in August and in 4th grade and Crackers is 7, 8 in July and in 2nd grade.

10:05 pm

Nef

:-) I haven't lost my memory yet! (Good news for me.)

10:07 pm

CrackersNTea

They are both in the highly gifted program at school and the homework is getting harder. ;)

10:08 pm

CrackersNTea

I'm being paged to help with bedtime. Nice to see everyone - I may be back.

10:09 pm

Nef

I'd like to stay; but I think I'm going off to bed now. This cold is kicking my butt.

10:11 pm

Nef

Good night, All. Happy Babbling!
