4:14 am

rubyfoo

but he's acting like an adult now at 16 months, mostly since Ruby died. He's taken over the house and her responsibilities

4:15 am

lynxxx

still he was probably lonely after losing his big sister so very pleased that he got a new little one

4:15 am

rubyfoo

he grieved for about two weeks

4:15 am

lynxxx

16 months - have you had him that long? or was he a bit old when you got him

4:15 am

rubyfoo

he was 3 months when he arrived

4:16 am

rubyfoo

and all of our chows have been housebroken at that age -- amazing

4:16 am

lynxxx

gosh - how time flies - I swear you have only had him for 6 months

4:17 am

lovely, ruby. there's nothing like some sunshine to make you feel better.

4:34 am

grannyrose

not deliberately, lyn. they have been calling for volunteers to do weekend lists...department manager is talking about having a full team rostered on for weekends, to cover said lists.

4:35 am

lynxxx

do they operate on weekends too?

4:35 am

grannyrose

lyn, we have an accident and emergency department. people come in at all hours.

4:37 am

lynxxx

oh - sorry, didn't realise that. Thought it was private with no A&E

4:39 am

grannyrose

makes it interesting...we can have a perfectly reasonable day, according to the bookings.....then all of a sudden it goes ballistic.

4:40 am

lynxxx

interesting - chaotic!

4:40 am

grannyrose

you got it in one, hun

4:41 am

lynxxx

I think you live on adrenalin - motorbikes and nursing - certainly would never be my choice - I admire you

4:42 am

grannyrose

i like to think i have proved myself over the last few weeks. my immediate superior has been on annual leave for 6 weeks, guess who has been running the recovery room, with not a lot of help from the hierarchy, i might add.

4:43 am

grannyrose

*giggle* that's why i quit my last hospital based job...thought i was addicted to the adrenalin rush....guess i still am...

4:43 am

lynxxx

perv perve perves perved - certainly not an Australian grid

4:44 am

grannyrose

so agree, lyn. can be frustrating when you know as well as i do, those are perfectly good words.

4:46 am

ah - the last one is straight out of a Mills & Boon novel

Hi LBD. Watching what is going on in Boston. Eerie stuff.

6:13 am

lbdawger

I can't watch any more news, getting too depressed and angry.

6:14 am

MollyL

I'm just astounded that police are allowing the media to be as close as they are to the building where they think a suspect is holed up.

6:22 am

tadone! finito! fun and a bit twisty little grid. hagd Molly and lurkers. off to get ready for work. *poof*

Nice Bzzn, yesterday hummingbirds, today a mockingbird :)

7:34 am

7:34 am

BzznBea

Lots of birds in my yard, smores.

7:35 am

tiny grid.... hmpf

7:35 am

yeah, i'm slightly bummed, but i have so much work to do it's probably for the best

7:36 am

smores

sounds wonderful...all I usually get is annoying Starlings

7:36 am

BzznBea

Cardinals, bluebirds, cat bird, roufus sided towhee, Carolina wrens, brown thrush...

7:37 am

BzznBea

I don't have amny of those. Lots of crows sometimes.

7:37 am

smores

:)

7:38 am

BzznBea

We have an owl in the neighborhood and we have a pileated woodpecker. They are fun to spot.

7:38 am

smores

The huge flocks that used to hang out downtown have grown and are hitting the neighborhoods now

7:38 am

smores

We do also have a lot of redtail hawks in the area which are nice

7:39 am

BzznBea

Yes, we have some of those. And some buzzards.

7:39 am

BzznBea

You would think we live in the country but are only two blocks from downtown.

7:40 am

smores

I see a lot of bluejays and robins in the area...just not in my yard.

7:40 am

smores

wow Bzzn..I thought you were further out

7:41 am

BzznBea

Tons of robins but I have only occasionally seen a bluejay. I miss them.

7:41 am

smores

My cat is a hunter so they no longer nest near my house :(

7:42 am

BzznBea

I'm sitting here like I have no place to go...

7:42 am

hi crossy

7:53 am

crosshair

howdy pippen:) 3 days of torrential rain/thunder storms here and we have "sudden spring" love it

7:54 am

pippingeek

nice!

7:54 am

pippingeek

it's a good one today here too, thinking of doing a bike ride

7:54 am

crosshair

wow..look at this grid..three e's, three u's and a pair of o's..this one is going to hurt,i can just see it

7:55 am

pippingeek

it's quick though

7:55 am

crosshair

well,god hates a coward,so let's dive in!:)

7:55 am

pippingeek

just found my last word, don't like it

7:56 am

smores

back with coffee :)

7:56 am

smores

Hi crossy :)

7:56 am

smores

are you finished pippin?

7:56 am

crosshair

howdy.smores

8:00 am

Anniebrook

my first word was te 6/18, sadly appropriate

8:00 am

crosshair

was just thinking the same,annoe

8:00 am

crosshair

annie

8:01 am

crosshair

just got caught up on all the boston/cambridge news a few min ago

8:01 am

Anniebrook

one terrorist dead

8:01 am

crosshair

yup

8:01 am

crosshair

lock downs in place etc

8:01 am

smores

Hi Annie...yes that was one of my 1st as well :(

8:02 am

smores

my 1st word was the te5/6 combo before it

8:03 am

smores

also eeriely appropriate

8:06 am

smores

and a lighter note...ruru is in the grid :)

8:07 am

Judi

Good morning, all. Ah yes. Happy news. One dead terrorist in Boston. One down, one to go.

8:07 am

crosshair

yaaa for ru!

8:07 am

smores

Just hope they get him without further incident

8:08 am

crosshair

i hope so as well.want him alive

8:08 am

Judi

Yes. That was some wild chase. Murdered police officer, bombs, etc. Rat bastard.

8:09 am

crosshair

from the clip it seems they had to go back and make safe som that did not explode as well.scary

8:09 am

smores

Agree crossy

8:10 am

smores

I have a feeling that he won't be taken alive...I hope he is though...too many unanswered questions otherwise.

8:11 am

crosshair

for those looking for a half decent internet news site,i recommend www.cnn.com.it is concise,a nice blend of printed story and video,well laid out and easy to use and most of all they do not go overboard with thigs.they just report the facts .they have a seperate section for opinions etc where things can be "blue skyed"

8:12 am

Judi

Then again, should he be killed while attempting to flee or harm other officers or agents, that's okay too. Actually, it would be much more economical - financially and legally.

8:12 am

smores

thanks for the info crossy :)

8:12 am

crosshair

like you say,there are questions that need answering but if he is determined to die,then so be it as long as no one else is hurt in the process

8:13 am

smores

Yes Judi I do hate the thought of an expensive trial for the bastard

8:14 am

crosshair

it would be goog however to know if the brothers were working alone or as part of a group.that in itself could save lives and money in the future

8:14 am

Judi

Eesh. Our power keeps winking out. Very annoying.

8:14 am

smores

okay...catch him alive, get some answers and then he gets killed in jail awaiting trial.

8:14 am

crosshair

lol,there ya go,smores

8:15 am

smores

Is it storming Judi?

8:15 am

Judi

Best case scenario, smores!

8:16 am

Judi

No storms. We are right next to the municipal power company. Who knows what they're doing in the neighborhood.

8:16 am

smores

I just hope they catch him without any one else getting hurt

8:17 am

crosshair

i am reading a older book set in the 70's it is a arthur haily book on the intimate details of the inner goings on of a large power company.makes me want to run and get a wind turbine and solar panels and get off the grid!

8:18 am

crosshair

and i checked.12 grand will get you comfortably off the grid lol

8:18 am

smores

:) are there 3-eyed fish and such

8:18 am

Judi

No kidding, Crossy. One of our neighbors has a smallish wind turbine mounted on his back deck. My husband keeps eyeing it. I told him to go over and talk to the neighbor about it. It looks like a fun project.

8:19 am

smores

yes, that would be nice

8:19 am

Judi

I'll never understand why some people are opposed to wind farms. I think wind turbines are rather elegant looking.

8:20 am

crosshair

indeed judi.you do not need the big 60 foot tower with the blade on it any longer,they have small vertical turbines that look a lot like a jet engine turned on end with 2 sides open to allow wind to pass through to the blades and turn things.they can be mounted almost anywhere

8:20 am

smores

sounds cool

8:21 am

Judi

Yes, have seen those too. They are lovely. Very sculptural.

8:21 am

crosshair

they are about half the size of a compact car

8:21 am

crosshair

maybe a tad larger but not much more

8:21 am

smores

I agree Judi...why they aren't opposed to greedy power company and the damage to the environment

8:22 am

72 Temple Owl

hi all..was car here today? or trif?

8:22 am

Judi

I have to ask those people, would you really prefer living under a high-tension power line that is probably frying your brain cells, or a noiseless wind turbine?

8:23 am

Judi

On the other hand, my husband works for one of those greedy power companies. Oy.

8:24 am

crosshair

there is talk again of reviving the older set up of local power stations that are not grid related.just for supplying the town or city you are in,with optional set up to flow/sell to grid if need arises.become more independat

8:25 am

crosshair

our old original power station from the turn of the last century still stands.it is a restaraunt now

8:25 am

72 Temple Owl

murr

8:25 am

smores

Hi TO...haven't "seen" either today

8:25 am

Judi

Murr to you too, TO.

8:26 am

MollyL

Carr and Trif live a good ways from Boston so they are not in the thick of this.

8:26 am

smores

finally nbt still need a 7

8:26 am

MimiCat

Hi, all! Every time I drive through the area just outside Palm Springs and see the field of wind turbines I'm impressed and it's actually rather attractive. I wonder if the amount of space they take up is a reason there aren't more?

8:27 am

smores

That's good...thanks Molly :)

8:27 am

Judi

We do have a few Bostonian Babblers, tho. Names escape me at the moment.

8:27 am

smores

Hey Mimi :)

8:28 am

MollyL

Kaplan and Wht live in or closer.

8:30 am

There's a whole section of Boston locked down right now. That little bastard doesn't have a chance.

8:30 am

Harry Hood was planning a move closer, but I don't know if that happened yet.

8:30 am

8:32 am

Scrabbler

Hm, quick scan of grid makes me wonder how 74 words are embedded

8:33 am

MimiCat

Well, folks, I'm finding this to be a stupid little grid and no fun so I'm out for today. Have a great weekend.

8:33 am

Jillyjill

Me too scrabbler...

8:33 am

MollyL

Jamaica Plain is 6 miles from Boston, 3 miles out from Cambridge, where a lot of things are going on.

8:33 am

Jillyjill

SEe you later mimi

8:33 am

Scrabbler

Bye Mimi. I don't think I will spend much time on this grid either.

8:33 am

MimiCat

{Jilly}

8:33 am

hi all. any clues for the 7?

8:34 am

Judi

Both 7s are plurals. One is du7, the other pu7.

8:34 am

MimiCat

{Scrabbler}

8:34 am

smores

Scrabbler

TY, got 'em.

8:39 am

Jillyjill

TY!!

8:39 am

MollyL

The MIT Police Officer who was killed by these suspects was 26. The sad news continues.

8:40 am

Judi

The du and the pu sound just the same.

8:40 am

mkg

we have some crazy people in this world. whoever did this boston thing is certainly crazy.

8:40 am

Judi

Apparently the suspect just walked up to the officer and shot him in the head.

8:40 am

mkg

the boston thing shows gun control isnt the only solution.............no guns involved.

8:40 am

Scrabbler

Sociopaths

8:41 am

Anniebrook

I am listening to the radio...they are saying that the suspect and the murdered terrorist are Chechen

8:41 am

mkg

what? i didnt hear about the mit thing. was this today?

8:41 am

mkg

we need better health care and laws for these crazy people.

8:42 am

Jillyjill

mkg, the suspects were on the run; one now dead an the second missing....Boston is on lock down

8:42 am

Anniebrook

The murdered terrorist had explosives on his body

8:42 am

Judi

Breaking news this a.m., mkg. One terrorist has been killed. Major manhunt going on in Boston now for #2.

8:42 am

TraderKate

good morning babblers :)
somber day

8:42 am

pippingeek

yes, also it was a major gunfight

8:43 am

Judi

Car jacking, shoot out, bombs thrown. Suspect killed was wearing a bomb vest. Outrageous shit.

8:43 am

Scrabbler

Sociopaths and psychopaths usually don't seek mental health help.

8:43 am

mkg

terrorist????? going to news now. bye..........

8:44 am

Judi

So true, Scrabbs. Crazy people think everyone else is crazy.

8:44 am

MollyL

Yes Scrabs, that is true. Or they do, and then reject their diagnosis.

8:45 am

Scrabbler

Yep, they have no insight into their problems.

8:46 am

Scrabbler

I worked with a doc with narcissistic personality disorder. I studied his behavior for years. Fascinating, scary. I left when I found an opportunity.

8:46 am

Jillyjill

Keep in mind, this may be political...not a mental health issue

8:47 am

Scrabbler

Yes, sociopaths

8:47 am

MollyL

That must have been hard Scrabs. People with that disorder are very difficult to deal with.

8:47 am

Jillyjill

nbt, nbs and halfway...off for breakfast

8:49 am

Scrabbler

It was extremely challenging as he bullied everyone. It took 3 yrs for the nightmares to stop.

8:51 am

Scrabbler

After I recognized his diagnosis, everything made sense--everything he said and did. I knew I had to leave. Sadly, people continue to work with and for him, too weak to escape.

8:52 am

TraderKate

sounds like a nightmare you can't wake up from scrabs. glad you got out okay. i've had to deal with one myself

8:52 am

Judi

That's screwy, Scrabbs. Now, if his chosen field had been psychology or psychiatry, he never would have passed the pre-requisite 1 year therapy prior to being licensed.

8:54 am

Judi

Last word. Need clue for the dr5/22.

8:54 am

Scrabbler

I told 2 other partners--2 passive, submissive women that remain there. Sad.

8:55 am

Judi

Did you ever tip off the AMA about him, Scrabbs? A doctor with a God complex is a very dangerous thing.

8:55 am

Scrabbler

I challenged him, stood up to him, which just made him more angry, and he bullied me even more.

8:56 am

Hey Car, I've been watching the news coverage.

9:17 am

MollyL

So glad you and Trif are outside the city.

9:18 am

car.eeyore

Its all very surreal. The shoot out in which the first suspect was killed happened right where my husband works.

9:18 am

car.eeyore

So am I.

9:19 am

Jillyjill

My son is 30 minutes SW of Boston but works nearby one city. But he is off on Friday and Saturday...

9:19 am

It's a sad day for MIT folks.

9:20 am

car.eeyore

Thank goodness, Jilly.

9:20 am

Jillyjill

One of his friends goes to MIT

9:21 am

Jillyjill

I sort of hate watching the news, but MSNBC is trying to not to jump to conclusions...still too sensationalist for my taste

9:22 am

car.eeyore

It is the desperate need to fill air time.

9:22 am

Jillyjill

True car

9:27 am

must be car -- we are on the other side of the continent and in a different country and that is all that is filling our news as well!

HOnestly, I wish they would wait until they have facts.

I saw that and I tried it in honor of you!

9:30 am

rururocks

it should be a word... I mean why not naoi is ? :D

9:30 am

car.eeyore

True dat!

9:30 am

You may not have a clue, but you are a clue : D

9:31 am

car.eeyore

LOL!

9:31 am

Jillyjill

*ducks*

9:32 am

car.eeyore

Wow...just realized I only have 18 left?!?!?! What will I do with the rest of my day?

9:32 am

rururocks

Should I leave and just reenter and pretend I didn't just show up?

9:33 am

MollyL

Here is how little the media researches their information. As soon as the names of the suspects were released, I did a Google search on one. I found that the surviving one had been awarded a scholarship in 2011. And yet the media was reporting that the two suspects had only been in the country one year.

9:34 am

car.eeyore

They have that all straightened out now.

9:34 am

car.eeyore

No! Stay ruru!

9:35 am

Congrats Cyber!

9:50 am

TraderKate

good going nan :)

9:51 am

cybernan

It is a hard wheat grown in Canada -- the wheat grown in the US is a soft wheat. (Just don't ask me what the dif. is~!)

9:51 am

poodletoes

hard wheat is better for breads - soft for cakes, cookies,etc

9:52 am

car.eeyore

Huh...just found the TE 6/18...fitting for today.

9:53 am

poodletoes

regular flour you get in the grocery is a blend of soft and hard.

9:53 am

cybernan

Sounds reasonable,poodle, although I use the same flour for everything. I do, however take 20Lb. of flour with me when we go south for the winter -- nothing I bake with flour purrchased in CA turns out properly!

9:53 am

cybernan

I think ours is all hard, poodle -- don't grow soft wheat up here.

9:54 am

MollyL

Several people have said that same thing about te6.

9:54 am

TraderKate

isn't the du 5 wheat used in pasta?

9:55 am

cybernan

have no idea, kate. All the wheat grown now has been genetically engineered out of recognition -- who knows what it is doing to us!

9:56 am

same with the apples -- grown along fence lines like grapes to the optimum 2.5" diameter size and picked whether they are ready or not. There is one orchard left here that still has the big old apple trees where the fruit has to be picked from a ladder, the apples are up to 5" in diameter and are never picked before a good frost!

Hello, TK..by the way i thought you had gone...BR was on here the other day :-)

12:35 pm

hiya zooz and Kate :) Thanks, I just had dinner after a pretty intense day of therapy. I could do with a short and sweet grid.

12:35 pm

zoozzoom

You should breeze through it, Sprite :-)

12:36 pm

TraderKate

i did go, but had to return. thanks zooz, i was a bit worried. hope he's doing okay.

12:36 pm

thanks zooz :)
And hi hursh!

12:39 pm

hurshy

hello

12:40 pm

hurshy

and by this i mean this suspect at large, not the grid.

12:40 pm

TraderKate

hi hurshy :) don't stress, it's friday... and there'll ALWAYS be another grid

12:40 pm

sprite

you lost me, hursh... sorry. What do you mean?

12:40 pm

zoozzoom

Yes i would hate to be in that situation, Hurshy..hope they get him soon.

12:40 pm

hurshy

the situation in the boston area is a bit crazy

12:41 pm

hurshy

and then they said he MIGHT have got on the last train they let out of boston this morning

12:41 pm

hurshy

probably not

12:41 pm

hurshy

they stopped the train but

12:41 pm

sprite

ah ok! Sorry. Sounds very stressful indeed.

12:41 pm

hurshy

they were also checking the video surveillance from the stations in providence, new london, and HERE, in case he got off before they stopped it.

12:41 pm

zoozzoom

I heard one has been shot dead.but the other is still at large.

12:41 pm

TraderKate

they are reporting that they are planning a controlled demolition of the cordoned off house...

12:42 pm

hurshy

yes one killed in shootout with police but

12:42 pm

hurshy

it is stressing me out that they haven't found the other one

12:42 pm

hurshy

i feel really bad for the people in watertown, where they are searching for him house to house and everyone is just locked in.

12:42 pm

hurshy

this is more bizarre than the incident itself. sometimes there are bombings and shootings but this manhunt and the way it is going is rather unprecedented in my memory at least.

12:42 pm

zoozzoom

Yes i have been watching it on CNN

12:43 pm

zoozzoom

I find it strange how there was a car chase ..yet one still manages to escape.

12:44 pm

hurshy

yeah, it's all very confusing

12:44 pm

TraderKate

do you have good coverage of it on the bbc? cbc (cdn. national broadcaster) is running live, they did have some bbc feed too

12:45 pm

zoozzoom

BBC is ok..Sky is also ok..but i have been flicking between CNN & CBS

12:46 pm

zoozzoom

Fireworks for me.

12:47 pm

12:51 pm

2:30 pm

cgypsy

2:32 pm

cgypsy

a good friend of mine just traveled there 2 days ago to help with ailing parent...guessing this is adding to the stress

2:36 pm

TraderKate

oh boy! everyone is really upset about this. :(

2:37 pm

TraderKate

i see your icon inyour profile is boston, but in the chog i see a butterfly?

2:39 pm

cgypsy

it's just awful......the lives lost and changed

2:39 pm

cgypsy

i just changed my icon to show support and love for boston

2:40 pm

cgypsy

2:42 pm

TraderKate

i did, for some reason the new icons don't show up in the chog right away.

2:43 pm

cgypsy

Boston in lockdown, don't know what hospital my friend's parent is at and whether or not they are at home and can't get to hospital or vice versa....

2:44 pm

cgypsy

2:45 pm

cgypsy

great typing sills

2:46 pm

cgypsy

going to run errands, see you later kate :)

2:46 pm

TraderKate

they would probably be at home, as the lock down started very early this morning - 6 or so i think.
it only does it with some icons, some of the time. i wouldn't worry about it. others can probably see it, and by tomorrow everyone wil be able to see it :)

2:47 pm

TraderKate

bye gypsy, see you monday :)

3:03 pm

cosdem

hello babblys

3:05 pm

cosdem

bye babblys

3:06 pm

Jillyjill

Having a coffee @ B&N...hello all

3:07 pm

cosdem

hi jilly

3:07 pm

cosdem

brb in a few. gotta run to the mail

3:08 pm

Jillyjill

Sure liked your FB post about offensive posts Cos!

3:09 pm

cosdem

omg today is not the time for these posts lol ugh

3:09 pm

cosdem

there never reallly is a time anyway for these kind of crap

3:11 pm

Jillyjill

So true. Hatefulness just begats more hatefulness!

3:12 pm

cosdem

When I told a friend "they were raised here" -- my friend said ahh but the internet trained them! ugh. im done.

3:13 pm

TraderKate

hi jill and cos :)

3:13 pm

cosdem

but its friday! i thinking of making a casserole

3:14 pm

cosdem

hi kate

3:14 pm

Jillyjill

I thought the uncle did a great job! Oops, hubby back...off for more shopping! Bye Cos!

3:15 pm

cosdem

yes uncle was awesome

3:15 pm

TraderKate

what kind of casserole cos?

3:15 pm

cosdem

bye jilly!

3:16 pm

cosdem

i saw one on fb i wanted to make...

3:16 pm

cosdem

tater tots, chicken, bacon and cheese in the slow cooker

3:17 pm

cosdem

they call it a tater tot cheesy chicken casserole

3:18 pm

TraderKate

sounds good, most of my favourite foods in one dish :) but wouldn't you have to cook the tater tots first? wouldn't they fall apart?

3:18 pm

MollyL

Tater tots in the slow cooker? They will be mush.

3:19 pm

cosdem

i love mushed tater tots

3:19 pm

cosdem

yeah the recipe says to put them in first and cook for 6 hours..

3:19 pm

cosdem

so im not using the slow cooker. im baking it instead

3:19 pm

MollyL

Well then go for it.

3:20 pm

cosdem

i would but ryan would throw a tantrum lol. im baking it :P

3:20 pm

TraderKate

what will the liquid be cos?

3:21 pm

cosdem

not sure...

3:21 pm

cosdem

milk maybe..

3:21 pm

cosdem

and cream of celery maybe

3:21 pm

TraderKate

<---- getting hungry now :0

3:22 pm

cosdem

but this is a sunday type of meal.... idk lol

3:23 pm

TraderKate

a nice dessert makes any meal a "sunday dinner" :))

3:23 pm

cosdem

OH I could make strawberry cheesecake bites

3:24 pm

cosdem

so simple, mix cream cheese and powdered sugar insert them in sliced strawberries, cover with crushed graham cracker crust

3:24 pm

TraderKate

will you put a few aside for the PB? pretty please??

3:24 pm

cosdem

sure will!

3:25 pm

Soodle

Hey everybody. I'm absolutely fascinated by the surreal events unfolding in Boston. Hope all Boston-Babblejrs are safe and well.

3:25 pm

TraderKate

yay cos! that sounds really good - and easy. do you add anything else to the cream cheese? vanilla?

3:26 pm

cosdem

lemme double check

3:26 pm

cosdem

no vanilla.. but im wrong. not strawberries.. its cherries..

3:27 pm

TraderKate

hi soodles :)
a bit of lime juice may not go amiss either... but i wouldn't want to wreck it if i did it wrong

3:27 pm

cosdem

just cherries, cream cheese, powdered sugar and crushed graham crust

3:27 pm

MollyL

It's pretty surreal to see things like that happening in an American city.

3:27 pm

cosdem

i may add a dollop of vanilla ust in case

3:27 pm

pippingeek

Hi all! Guess what? I got a job interview!

3:28 pm

TraderKate

surely strawberries would work just as well?

3:28 pm

cosdem

i would think so yes.. and maybe taste better

3:28 pm

MollyL

Well done Pip

3:28 pm

TraderKate

wooooot pippin!!! where, when, what???

3:29 pm

Soodle

Looking at the ingredients, I don't think you could wreck any combination of those!!

3:29 pm

Soodle

Great stuff Pippin. Best of luck.

3:29 pm

pippingeek

don't know when yet, it's as an eye tech at a glaucoma clinic in the city, so counts as clinical experience for my PA program

3:29 pm

TraderKate

not sure i'd have the patience to stuff a million cherries, but htey sure would taste goood :)

3:30 pm

pippingeek

and i would get a free eye exam, and i can't tell you how badly i need to replace my glasses

3:30 pm

MollyL

That recipe reminds me of "Trailer Trash Strawberry Shortcake". You split a bunch of Twinkies in half and covered them with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.

3:31 pm

TraderKate

excellent pippin. with any luck therre will be medial and your peepers will be covered as well

3:32 pm

MollyL

You can make Cos's dessert with a layer of graham cracker crumbs, a layer of the cream cheese mixture, a layer of strawberries, then repeat the layers. It makes nice parfaits.

3:32 pm

pippingeek

molly, i did a recipe a couple easters ago that was "pretzel salad" - double-strength strawberry jello mixed with frozen strawberries, the base was baked butter and pretzel and sugar, and the top was cream cheese and cool whip

3:32 pm

TraderKate

yuck to the twinkie thing

3:33 pm

pippingeek

it was 1960s housewife terrifying, yet totally delicious

3:33 pm

MollyL

Pip, you do love your sweet and salty combos. : D

3:33 pm

cosdem

that sounds easier to do moilly thanks!

3:33 pm

TraderKate

likes the sound of the parfaits much more :)

3:33 pm

cosdem

will be doing that instead.

3:33 pm

pippingeek

i do indeed

3:34 pm

cosdem

pipp do u like take 5 candy bar?

3:34 pm

MollyL

Pip, you should go to the movies with my friend. She puts her Raisinettes IN her popcorn.

3:34 pm

pippingeek

oh man, it is the best, i love it

3:34 pm

pippingeek

second only to payday

3:34 pm

cosdem

finally someone agrees with me lol

3:35 pm

pippingeek

bah, chocolate. but caramel is my jam

3:35 pm

cosdem

i love payday... i need to get some tis been a while

3:35 pm

pippingeek

payday and whatchamacallait were my faves growing up

3:36 pm

cosdem

bbl gonna get some now

3:37 pm

pippingeek

watching Lawrence of Arabia and oh that Peter O'Toole is a delicious man

3:39 pm

MollyL

Sadly, he was a raging alcoholic.

3:39 pm

Soodle

Is he dead?

3:40 pm

pippingeek

too bad. still, the chances of any of us ever so much as having a conversation with a celebrity actor are slim enough that i don't mind enjoying the looking without regard for jerkiness

3:40 pm

pippingeek

according to imdb he is still with us

3:41 pm

MollyL

No, I'm just not sure he is still drinking.

3:42 pm

MollyL

I should have added "at the time".

3:43 pm

Soodle

Um.. Last time I mentioned this on Babble, I was nearly murdered, but I met Charlie Sheen, Martin Sheen & Emilio Estavez in a tiny town in Tipperary some years ago. I

3:43 pm

MollyL

Nearly murdered? Why?

3:44 pm

TraderKate

very very jealous soodles, love the sheen s and the douglas'

3:44 pm

MollyL

I love Martin Sheen but he would be too short for me to take up with.

3:44 pm

pippingeek

in both those cases i think the older generations got the better genes. or at least personalities

3:46 pm

TraderKate

is he that short, or are you tall? i really liked him in the west wing :)

3:46 pm

Soodle

Cos I said that Charlie was probably the best looking man I ever set eyes on, and I was bombarded with all the hideous stuff he ever did. I didn't have a deep and/or meaningful conversation with him, I just salivated. :-(

3:46 pm

pippingeek

beautiful mean are beautiful to look at

3:47 pm

pippingeek

as are beautiful women

3:47 pm

MollyL

Lots of good looking men are assholes. Alas.

3:47 pm

pippingeek

that's why it's nicer just to look. doesn't spoil the illusion

3:48 pm

Soodle

I'm 5' 6", and I was shorter than him. Charlie was off his face, but Martin was a total gentleman.

3:49 pm

Soodle

'Nuff name dropping for one evening!! Lol

3:49 pm

TraderKate

please translate "off his face"? drunk?

3:50 pm

pippingeek

or otherwise high, yes

3:50 pm

Soodle

Drunk/high/not with it. In another place!

3:50 pm

cosdem

what charlie sheen did did not affect me one bit. i wouldnt have cared :) hes crazy but he wasnt a bad looker back in his days lol

3:50 pm

TraderKate

haha, we have a babbler who loves rush (canadian band) i met geddy lee once many years ago :)

3:51 pm

Soodle

What Cos said!!!

3:52 pm

TraderKate

why do the kids of stars usually end up so off hteir nut?

3:53 pm

pippingeek

i suspect growing up filthy rich and well known can't be good for mental stability

3:53 pm

TraderKate

but then again... ozzy osborne's kids are perfectly normal... smirk

3:54 pm

Soodle

And my other claim to fame (maintaining my non-name dropping) is that I used to work with Larry Mullins Senior. Father of the U2 drummer. At my request, he brought his delectable son along to my 21st.

3:54 pm

TraderKate

it's closing time here, i must get ready to go.
but, reserve the right to get all the details from soodle's 21st :)

3:55 pm

Soodle

To be continued, Kate.....

3:56 pm

TraderKate

you bet your sweet bippy soodles :)

3:56 pm

TraderKate

i must poof now. have a good weekend everyone!

3:57 pm

MollyL

Geddy Lee = Worst singer in rock and roll history.

3:57 pm

Soodle

Bye Kate. Have a great weekend.

3:58 pm

MollyL

In my opinion.

3:58 pm

Soodle

Too lazy to Google 'Rush'. What did they sing?

4:01 pm

MollyL

Probably their best known is "Tom Sawyer". It's a shame, I love Neil Peart, their drummer, but Geddy Lee's voice is like nails on a chalkboard and their sound is not my style.

4:03 pm

Soodle

Thanks Molls. I had a look at Wiki. I'm not familiar with them.

4:03 pm

Soodle

Thanks Molls. I had a look at Wiki. I'm not familiar with them.

4:04 pm

pippingeek

Rush is sort of the quintessential "prog-rock" band. Not my cuppa tea, but boy do they have rabid fans

4:04 pm

MollyL

Lee's voice has been described as "like a hamster in a blender". : D

4:04 pm

pippingeek

and pretty much the biggest drum set ever

4:05 pm

MollyL

Rush is like Scotch. You either like them or you don't.

4:05 pm

pippingeek

see, and i don't like either!

4:06 pm

MollyL

I'd suffer and drink Scotch if that was all that was going, but it would be torture to have to listen to an entire Rush album.

4:07 pm

Soodle

Atta gal, Molls!! Irish all the way

4:07 pm

pippingeek

how am i still hungry when i have just finished eating?

4:08 pm

MollyL

I've always felt sorry for the Scots that they "just couldn't get it quite right" in terms of whiskey.
: P

4:08 pm

pippingeek

haha molly

4:08 pm

MollyL

Tapeworm Pip?

4:08 pm

Soodle

Lol!!! I

4:09 pm

pippingeek

ha!

4:09 pm

pippingeek

probably more to do with the 6 miles i ran. had to kill time somehow while laundry was in the dryer

4:10 pm

MollyL

Funny, I have never considered killing time that way.

4:11 pm

MollyL

And you could do a weeks laundry for a family of six in the time it would take me to run six miles (and then recover from that)

4:11 pm

pippingeek

:)

4:13 pm

Soodle

I was in a discount store today, and bought a cosmetic mirror, with a 10x magnification. Can anybody please explain how the hairs in my eyebrows are going gray, but my upper lip area is sprouting bristles? (Mirror obviously consigned to the bin....)

4:15 pm

pippingeek

bah

4:20 pm

MollyL

What in God's name possessed you to buy a mirror like that?

4:21 pm

Soodle

It was cheap. It seemed like a good idea at the time. :-(

4:22 pm

MollyL

It seemed like a good idea at the time...that is what my friend says about marrying her first husband. She also describes it as a "temporary lapse of reason".

4:25 pm

Soodle

Rofl! Describes my first husband perfectly! Cheap. Seemed like a good idea. Minor flaws magnified x10. Yep!! When you're coming to Ireland, take that friend with you. I love him/her already.

4:31 pm

MollyL

CBS is interviewing a friend of the terrorist suspect, a college student, and every other word is "like". Ugh.

4:33 pm

MollyL

And now another college student, again, every other word is "like". And these kids are wondering why they can't get jobs.

4:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello

4:37 pm

MollyL

Hi TO

4:45 pm

Soodle

Hi TO

4:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

how is everyone? I am so tired but CNN was so riveting last night.

4:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

wondering about our boston area babblers

4:49 pm

MollyL

Father of the bombing suspect says that if his other son is killed, "all hell will break loose". Really?

4:49 pm

MollyL

Car and Trif were here today. They are 30 miles from Boston.

4:50 pm

Soodle

Good heavens. A plane crash in the US now??? WTF, seriously?

4:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

well he also describes the younger one as an angel and says they were framed

4:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

WHAT, SOODLE?

4:57 pm

MollyL

Not seeing anything about a plane crash

4:58 pm

Soodle

Saw something on Facebook. I think it was one of those ridiculous hoaxes. I'm sorry. I would never perpetrate these things willingly.

4:59 pm

MollyL

Nope, there it is. Near Williamsburg/Jamestown airport.

4:59 pm

Soodle

Shit!

5:00 pm

MollyL

A Cessna 210 missed the airport and crashed in a field nearby. That is all I'm getting so far.

5:00 pm

Soodle

Is it related to the Boston episode, Molly?

5:01 pm

MollyL

I doubt it, too early to tell.

5:04 pm

Soodle

Oh God. Sincere prayers for all concerned.

5:04 pm

rururocks

angel of Death maybe

5:04 pm

rururocks

angel of Death maybe

5:05 pm

MollyL

Lots of creepy things going on here. Ricin laced letters, a huge explosion in Texas, now this plane crash. Eerie.

5:09 pm

Soodle

For sure, Molly

5:10 pm

MollyL

The longer it goes with this guy not being apprehended the more it makes me think he is dead somewhere. It is being speculated that he was injured in the gunfire early this morning.

5:15 pm

rururocks

good riddance then

5:15 pm

rururocks

it will save Boston an expensive court trial

5:17 pm

MollyL

I'm very curious about the guy who was driving the SUV they carjacked. Nothing has been said about him.

5:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

as awful as the bombing is , west texas is worse. if you can imagine. just heartbreaking.

5:20 pm

MollyL

And the stuff that blew in Texas is what McVeigh used to bomb the Murrah Building in Oklahoma.

5:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, who can forget that awful awful day...

5:25 pm

MollyL

The suspect was last seen fleeing on foot from the SUV that was hijacked. Seems likely he is still in the area, but who knows.

5:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

perhaps he blew himself up somewhere.

5:27 pm

MollyL

As many press conferences as there have been, there is a lot the police and FBI are not disclosing. And with good reason.

5:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

absolutely.

5:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

happy babbling, i am going to nap, just exhausted

5:37 pm

smores

hello again

5:44 pm

MollyL

Well that is interesting. It was originally reported that the uncle of the suspect, who has gotten a lot of press coverage today, was in Baltimore. Turns out he lives about 10 minutes from me.

5:45 pm

mamcitadbh

We were at Dana Farber in Boston today. Got locked down. Made my quarterly check-up quick as there were only few patients. We got in before they shut down.

5:50 pm

MollyL

Lock down is frightening, but the safest thing in situations like this. We had massive lock down in the area the first day the DC Snipers struck.

5:50 pm

mamcitadbh

I actually felt very safe

5:51 pm

mamcitadbh

We weren't near the Watertown section of Boston

5:52 pm

smores

Hi mama...wow...glad you are safe and back home

5:52 pm

MollyL

It's very frightening for parents when their kids are locked down in school. Fortunately, Boston area elementary schools are on break this week.

5:53 pm

smores

That's is fortunate, I would be keeping mine home anyway.

5:53 pm

mamcitadbh

Hey smores. Safe and sound with any easy exit from Boston on a Friday afternoon-no traffic

5:53 pm

mkg

hi all. bad stuff in boston indeed. so here is my take: i saw the video of the father and uncle.

5:53 pm

mamcitadbh

It must be terrifying for parents!!!!

5:54 pm

mamcitadbh

Thanks for the happy birthday gift in Word whomp the other day, smores. Tried sending one in return and it just kept failing!!!!!

5:55 pm

mkg

my take is that these young muslim youth are listening to umams who are radicals. they are inciting the young. i have hear before how the parents are so upset by their childrens acts. we have so many imams in the u.s. who are inciting. remember the man who shot and killed on an army base and he was a disciple of the imam in northern va? what i wonder is at what point do we lock up these imams? but then that is not freedom of speech. very tough tightrope we walk on.

5:55 pm

mkg

i am referring to the two boys who did the bombing in boston, one who is dead already.

5:56 pm

mkg

sorry to be so verbose. i feel so bad for muslim parents of kids when this happens. they feel their kids are safe in the u.s.

5:56 pm

mamcitadbh

and the terrorists are already in the country, just biding their time....

5:56 pm

smores

You are most welcome mama...wasn't sure if it went through :)

5:56 pm

MollyL

This just goes to show how bad the news coverage is. The men in question are not Muslim, they are from Chechnya/Russia.

5:57 pm

mamcitadbh

Gotta go, Netflix waiting...Have a good night all!

5:58 pm

smores

Bye mama...enjoy your show :)

5:59 pm

smores

I agree mkg...I do feel bad for the family

5:59 pm

MollyL

Nothing that has been reported in the national news (which I have been following all day) has linked these suspects to Muslims.

6:00 pm

smores

No, I don't believe they are Muslim

6:02 pm

MollyL

Massive stuff going on in Watertown at the moment, including police gun fire.

6:03 pm

mkg

need dr 5 clues please

6:03 pm

mkg

they are muslim according to the interviews. or islamic. from chechne. where there was a war and they escaped here for safety. the father is so upset. go look up his video on washington post or ny times.

6:05 pm

mkg

so so sad.

6:06 pm

MollyL

Again, nothing has been said about the two suspects being Muslim. This is how bad rumors get started.

6:06 pm

mkg

i saw a you tube once where muslim parents in belgium are ringing their hands over their kids who want to rape and kill infidels. where do they get this? evidently the arab media has men telling the youth that to rape and murder a non muslim is good and they will be blessed in heaven. it is so sad.

6:07 pm

mkg

molly, go see the videos in washington post, and NY times. the uncle spoke to the media and say he is islamic and that the religion is not the problem. what is the problem is these very radical factions. they arent good in any religion or in any society.

6:07 pm

crosshair

news we are getting here is they are russian

6:09 pm

mkg

yes russian! that is their nationality. they are from chechnia or whatever the spelling is. there are muslims and christians there.

6:09 pm

crosshair

<---- using cnn.com for news feed

6:09 pm

pippingeek

they are chechen, not russian

6:10 pm

pippingeek

the russians have been fighting to regain their rule since 1990

6:10 pm

pippingeek

that is why most chechens came to the US, to stop being killed by russians

6:11 pm

mkg

but right now chechen is part of russia, right?

6:11 pm

crosshair

well,whoever he prays to or follows is moot.he or his body needs to be caught and brought in

6:11 pm

mkg

someone posted that they should have planted bombs in russia not here.

6:12 pm

mkg

i am betting they wont catch him. if he is with a group they will hide him and provide him with whatever he needs to live for years if need be in a basement or attic. but we will see.

6:12 pm

lynxxx

read Bloomberg - Marc Champion - the background given would seem to make sense - tio a nonsensical event

6:12 pm

crosshair

do not care if he prays to the holy rootser as long as he is caught and cannot hurt anyone else

6:12 pm

mkg

ty lynxx

6:13 pm

mkg

any clue for the dr 5 16? i cant get it.

6:13 pm

MollyL

This is not a matter of religious orientation. It is a matter of insane people. I don't care who they pray to either.

6:14 pm

lynxxx

dr & remember King Fa**** of Egypt

6:14 pm

crosshair

agreed molly

6:14 pm

mkg

i agree molly. unfortunately the incitement of the youth is so sad and tragic whatever it is.

6:14 pm

mkg

king of egypt as in pharoah?

6:14 pm

lynxxx

Religious beliefs seems to be the cause of a lot of killings- Ireland & Israel for example

6:15 pm

lynxxx

actual king in Egypt - the last one?

6:15 pm

crosshair

and i wish they would stop posting that poor man in the wheelchair with his legs blown off all across FB.we get it already

6:15 pm

mkg

yes. very sad. even within religions. buddism is the most peaceful of the religions isnt it?

6:16 pm

mkg

i dontd remember king of egypt but will try

6:16 pm

MollyL

Religious beliefs? I don't know. Hatred towards America for sure. And that doesn't just come from people in other countries. One of our worst tragedies (the Oklahoma bombing) was done by an American citizen.

6:16 pm

mkg

oh that is the first dr five i think. yes.

6:16 pm

mkg

i have that one.

6:16 pm

mkg

amen molly.

6:16 pm

MollyL

I agree about the picture of the man in the wheelchair. I feel sorry for his loved ones.

6:18 pm

lynxxx

oh sorry mkg - that one is dr & not down & vwl

6:18 pm

mkg

i wish that in the us and elsewhere mental health care was given free to all. maybe then we would have fewer incidence. but i also dont think anyone needs assault weapons or an arsenal in their home. and we must monitor and demand accountability from the gun sellers. if i have ten guns and want another, perhaps that shouldnt be allowed............not sure what to say.

6:18 pm

mkg

ty lynxx. got it.

6:18 pm

MollyL

Meanwhile, every cop in Watertown, Boston and surrounding areas is in Watertown right now. Big police action going down there.

6:19 pm

crosshair

i will not get into the us gun debate.my brother says that in texas and utah hand guns are so easy to get that they almost come free with your happy meal

6:19 pm

mkg

i wonder what the policy is. does he get shipped to chechen?

6:20 pm

crosshair

nevada*

6:21 pm

mkg

we dont have guns. my son lived in the west bank of israel. his rabbis all told him he had to carry a gun. he refused. he had to train which he did, in case of war, but never carried a gun. he said he would be more afraid of an accident than he was of a terrorist. and i dont know of any stories of someone with a gun who saved others during a terror attack.

6:21 pm

lynxxx

I don't think mental care is the answer to stop mass killings - who on earth is going to be able to identify them let alone get them to 'take' treatment. It would be easier to just lock up everty yound man aged 15 to 35 - they seem to be the ones that go on these sprees. That - and of course tightening all guns laws and permits.

6:22 pm

mkg

true lynx, but at least maybe some would be saved as kids if parents could get the help.

6:22 pm

lynxxx

(and obviously I am not serious about locking up young men - but about guns restrictions I am

6:22 pm

mkg

we all struggle for answers.

6:23 pm

mkg

or we just castrate the men............are you laughing?

6:23 pm

mkg

testosterone................ahhhhhhhhh\nhhhhhh

6:23 pm

blueheron

Isn't that generalizing Lynxxx?

6:23 pm

mkg

ok stuck on pe 6. any clues?

6:23 pm

MollyL

Unfortunately, people who want guns, will get them, no matter what the laws are. Also unfortunate is that the people who need mental health care seldom seek it out.

6:23 pm

crosshair

and lock up the women one week out of every month then from age 50-50 lol

6:23 pm

lynxxx

a lot of truth in that I think

6:24 pm

blueheron

omg!!! LOL

6:24 pm

pippingeek

mkg, the end is short for a tiny guitar like instrument

6:24 pm

6:25 pm

jaxx7

mkg A cherry is a dr5 16

6:25 pm

blueheron

6:25 pm

mkg

6:25 pm

mkg

6:25 pm

MollyL

WBZ in Boston is reporting that they have the guy in Watertown.

6:25 pm

pippingeek

mkg, a hawaiian tiny guitar

6:26 pm

MollyL

Trapped hiding in a boat in a back yard.

6:26 pm

mkg

it drives me crazy that if you have medical issues it is usually 20 percent not covered but anything mental is 40 percent not covered. give me a break.

6:26 pm

blueheron

Crossy, my dear friend. Hugs

6:26 pm

mkg

hawaiian is a mandolin isnt it?

6:26 pm

crosshair

6:27 pm

mkg

ty got the word. forgot about that instrument.

6:28 pm

MollyL

It's not clear yet. They believe he is hiding in the boat. They are proceeding with care because the guy could have explosives strapped to him.

6:28 pm

mkg

now that i think of it i have heard that word for a wig.

6:28 pm

crosshair

perv is indeed a word...

6:45 pm

blueheron

So did anyone here have a beautiful day today?

6:48 pm

blueheron

dead silence...guess not:((

6:53 pm

glittzy

I think we have one eye on the board and one ear on the TV.

6:53 pm

glittzy

but thanks for asking...

6:53 pm

blueheron

same here.

6:54 pm

blueheron

I'm only an hour from Boston.

6:55 pm

glittzy

such a terrible thing. My boss's wife went up to run and had just passed the finish line, very scary.

6:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

why are these stupid people peeking out of their windows? here recently we had a SWAT situation where an elderley woman was killed and she WASN"T even doing that. this is extremely foolhardy.

6:58 pm

glittzy

Agreed.

6:58 pm

blueheron

My daughter is a maratthon runner and I thank God she wasn't in Boston.

6:59 pm

blueheron

marathon (sp)

6:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

i would be in an interior room or basement. crouching. never lying down

6:59 pm

glittzy

Absolutely!

6:59 pm

MollyL

I don't know TO. Why am I watching live footage of this situation where they have the guy surrounded and seeing buses running and cars driving around?

7:00 pm

glittzy

such a shame that you can't even do something you enjoy without this type of thing happening. I really believe we need to close our gates, borders, etc.

7:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

lolwhy did i spoil a lovely evening by turning on nn last night just at the right 0 -or wrong - moment? :/

7:02 pm

blueheron

Is this terrorism at it it's best? I cannot imagine living in countries that are constantly barraged by this behavior.

7:03 pm

glittzy

I wonder if they don't like America why don't they just leave us alone? They come here and take from this country but yet they hate it.

7:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

nowhere is immune. the uncle said it best i think, they just could not adjust so hated everyone.

7:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok plssomeone givestats for 7 letter words? ty

7:05 pm

MollyL

I agree. I'm tired of people coming to this country, which I consider a great nation, and taking advantage. Getting the education they can't get in their country, getting the personal freedom they can't get in their country, and then becoming dissident and antagonistic. It's BS and it needs to be stopped.

7:06 pm

glittzy

so true.

7:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

i know, molly, but i do understand why we are hated. the world has become americanized and they hate that. think of that perspective. not that that would ever justify violence

7:09 pm

glittzy

don't you wonder that when they see the prosperity and the fact that we are not starving and can take care of our families that they would think "oh wow" I would love this and just take care of themselves???

7:09 pm

MollyL

I don't understand why America is hated. I really don't. If countries have become "Americanized" they have allowed that to happen. I will never stand for anti-American sentiment. We have been too good to to other countries and to people wanting to immigrate here to put up with crap like that.

7:09 pm

glittzy

countries become Americanized because they want the "freedoms" we enjoy.

7:10 pm

glittzy

agreed. I believe we should not keep giving $$ to countries who promote terrorism. Its unbelievable.

7:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

just saying i can see another POV. i hate that when one goes to any city one sees the same hain stores, malls, local color and harm mostly gone. i find a parallel

7:12 pm

glittzy

understood

7:13 pm

MollyL

You have a right to your opinion TO. And there are a lot of people who agree with similar sentiments.

7:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

i just want this over. i don't think anyone will be sitting down with this guy to find out his motives.

7:15 pm

MollyL

I think there is some concern that this is bigger than these two men. If so, taking this guy alive could shed light on that.

7:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh yes. but unless they use a medium,l i don't think anyone will get that chance.

7:16 pm

glittzy

Yes, since their native country is different than most terrorists that have hit us, it is raising questions. I think Boston has done a fine job in finding these guys.

7:19 pm

glittzy

boy I am finding this a rough grid.

7:19 pm

MollyL

I agree. The Boston Police Department and other surrounding police departments have done a stand up job.

7:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

isn't it just astounding? there really is no such thing as privacy any more. not that anyone is complaining right now.

7:22 pm

MollyL

I'll take this opportunity to say that I'm proud of my country, I'm proud of the forces who protect us and I find it offensive when anyone finds it appropriate to make snide comments about America or Americans. And sadly, that happens in this chat a lot. That is one of the times I turn chat off.

7:23 pm

glittzy

amen to that Molly.

It is terrible what the people in Boston, MA have had to endu4/6. The 2 te 6/18ists in Boston had some ne 5/16 detonating two bombs! They demonstrated pu 4/6 evil. Then they tried to be du5/16s and du 4/7 the cops, but were unsuccessful. One suspect has been pe 4/6anently eliminated after and inte5/10 showdown with cops and the other was captured.Now the FBI will probably try to pu 4/8 some more information from the suspect as they continue their investigation. Du4/6 it! Hubby wants the computer. He says I have ke4/9 the computer from him long enough. If I don't give it to him,he will er5/14 like a volcano. He always wre 4/9s my babble time. He is so ru4/6 when he kicks me off the computer.I did not edit my story so there might be some er5/10s. I am going to get off my ru4/6 and go watch "Revenge of the Ne4/s".
