4:49 am
grannyrose
just read your profile. how long have you been back in the UK?
4:50 am
Foffle
nearly 18 months now
4:50 am
grannyrose
tired, now. was on-call, and got called in twice. money is good, but.
4:51 am
grannyrose
this is gonna sound weird. but my ancestors came from both belgium and england, and scotland and denmark. i really belong over on your neck of the woods..
4:52 am
grannyrose
how are you, foffle?
4:52 am
Foffle
I think you got the better weather in Melbourne
4:52 am

wellat least it's never boring. don't like our weather, wait a minute. lol

4:54 am
grannyrose

4:57 am

okay, got you sort of pin-pointed.

Hi ladies

4:58 am
Foffle
I was thinking the same chrissie
4:58 am
grannyrose
you're easily impressed, chrissie. hello sweetie, how are you tonight?
4:58 am
ChrissieDee
Passed you yesterday Foffle, live in Lancashire, visiting daughter in Surrey
4:59 am
grannyrose
hey you two, just because i'm antipodean.....
4:59 am
Foffle
where in Lancashire?
5:02 am
ChrissieDee
Very good rose. This is the first time we've been able to visit since Feb last year due to the health issues. It's been all one way traffic with Jen visiting me.
5:04 am
grannyrose
oh, yes, i recall now. so this is a major mile-stone, dear. congrats.
5:04 am
ChrissieDee
Up Holland
5:06 am
ChrissieDee
Next milestone on monday, meeting oncologist for scan results, if all ok planning to return to work on Wednesday on a phased return. Have been off work for 9 months and the thought of going back is somewhat intimidating
5:07 am
Foffle
Best of luck.
5:07 am
ChrissieDee
Thanks Foffle
5:08 am
Foffle
I have to see my oncologist in August - so ages away
5:08 am
Foffle
IF we still have a hospital
5:09 am
grannyrose
and so it is, dearest chrissie. it's quite okay to feel that way. i do so hope all goes well on monday, and that your return to work is easy.
5:09 am
ChrissieDee
How are you Foffle and how far along the journey?
5:10 am
Foffle
oh I've had it easy compared to most. I had a hysterectomy which they hope got all the cancer
5:10 am
ChrissieDee
Thank you rose.
5:11 am
Foffle
so no treatment so far apart from the op
5:11 am
ChrissieDee
That's good Foffle
5:12 am
grannyrose
isn't it strange? that is one of the easiest forms of cancer to cure....because it is so isolated...sounds like you were fortunate, foffle, and acted early enough.
5:13 am
grannyrose
foffle???if you still have a hospital?? rather cryptic....anything we should be aware of?
5:13 am
Foffle
I was lucky that I was well into the menopause when all of a sudden bingo menstruation - time to see the doctor
5:15 am
Foffle
well we have Stafford hospital which had been in the news a lot, mainly for mistreating and killing patients. I think it's closing down
5:15 am
ChrissieDee
Was reading an article this morning about a beautiful 25 yo who has died of cervical cancer because her doc wouldn't take action as she was under 25 when she first presented with bleeding. England NHS policy is no smear test under 25. Can't figure out why he didn't refer her for a coloscopy though.
5:16 am
ChrissieDee
So you could be left with no hospital at all?
5:16 am
Foffle
omg and it;s so simple to test
5:17 am
grannyrose
so sad, that some doctors cannot see the exception to the rule.
5:17 am
Foffle
yes we could. the nearest after stafford is Cannock Chase but they can't possibly handle all of Stafford's patients
5:18 am
ChrissieDee
Love the phrase "bingo menstruation" :)
5:19 am
Foffle
I nearly fell off the loo!
5:21 am
grannyrose
foffle...*giggle* i don't think bingo is quite the term i would have used....mind you. i went from 'normal' to abnormal at the age of 34....was a big shock....my last baby was a menopausal baby, for goodness sake!!
5:25 am
Foffle
oh granny that's awful, so young. I was expecting a bus pass
5:26 am
Foffle
which I didn't get and got flipping cancer instead
5:26 am
ChrissieDee
Bummer!
5:27 am
Foffle
I've had better birthdays
5:30 am
grannyrose
foffle, you are one great lady, and don't let anyone tell you different. you are out on the other side....not sure if i would have had half your courage to face that sort of music, and the same goes for chrissie. you, too, are one hell of fighter.i'm proud of you both.
5:32 am
ChrissieDee
You've had enough of your own problems rose. Go go strong women.
5:33 am
grannyrose
i think i hear himself's dulcet tones summoning me to dine.....love and hugs to you both.
5:33 am
ChrissieDee
Bye rose, tc
5:33 am
Foffle
thanks granny, that's very kind of you, but the reality is that it has nothing to do with character you have no choice
5:33 am
Foffle
bye bye rose

5:42 am
MollyL
Foffle, some of the best lines of dialogue I've heard go like this...Q: How did you ever find the grace to deal with that? A: Honey, we women don't find the grace, it finds us.
5:42 am
Foffle
Congrats on two healthy years mamcitadbh.

mamcitadbh
AAAGH!!! MORE THAN ONCE TODAY
5:53 am
mamcitadbh
You guys may have to kick me off the game!!!!!!!
5:53 am
Foffle
awww I had both of those
5:53 am
mamcitadbh
at least they were words that everyone has...
5:53 am
Foffle
now some we don't have?
5:54 am
mamcitadbh
Fat chance, I am already struglling with t his puzzle...lol\
5:54 am
Foffle
I can but hope
5:55 am
smores

5:55 am
mamcitadbh

mamcitadbh
I was gonna say smores...really need some waking up today ;)
5:58 am
smores
lol...I thought that right after I said it :)
5:59 am
mamcitadbh
I am finding this puzzle much more of a challenge than yesterday's :(
6:00 am
MollyL
I thank God every morning for the auto timer on my coffee pot. I have gotten very used to fresh coffee being all ready as soon as I get up. : D
6:01 am
smores
That's funny Molly, I actually remembered to set mine for a change, just didn't set it early enough.
6:02 am
mamcitadbh
I just got a Keurig and I love it...
6:02 am
MollyL
Alas, Keurig's do not make coffee strong enough for me.
6:03 am
mamcitadbh
even a dark roast???
6:03 am
smores
I'm gonna have to break down and get one.
6:04 am
smores
Like yours extra strong huh?
6:04 am
mamcitadbh
I thought it silly until I got one for Christmas and I LOVE it
6:04 am
MollyL
I don't like dark roast. Those little cups don't hold enough coffee for my "mix".
6:05 am
mamcitadbh
what is your mix???? do tell
6:05 am
smores
I like that they have the refill cups now so you can mix your own though
6:05 am
MollyL
And, after pricing things out, the cost of the coffee maker and the continual cost of the special cups is more than I would spend on just a regular brewer and coffee.
6:06 am
mamcitadbh
That is what I use almost all the time except for company or when I am in a hurry
6:06 am
mamcitadbh
or want a special flavor
6:07 am
smores
Buying the little cups is what kept me from getting one.
6:07 am
smores
Now that I can still use my own I may get one soon
6:07 am
MollyL
I like to be able to make a full pot of coffee when I have guests, too.
6:07 am
mamcitadbh
I am the only one who drinks the coffee here so it works out well. My husband hates coffee???!!!!
6:08 am
MollyL
Yes, there are people like that. I don't understand it, but apparently there are.
6:08 am
mamcitadbh
My sister too...???!!!!
6:08 am
mamcitadbh
go figure
6:09 am
smores
I gotta have my coffee :)
6:10 am
mamcitadbh
anyone else struggling here?? I am only at 55 :(
6:10 am
MollyL
Have you ever had to have an early morning medical procedure where you've had to fast the night before and you can't have coffee? It's like facing a strange and different world.
6:10 am
smores
lol..I'm only at 43
6:10 am
Foffle
yes I'm struggling at 57
6:10 am
smores
but I did just get nbt/nbs :)
6:10 am
mamcitadbh
Yes just Friday
6:11 am
smores
Ah..yes Molly, strange indeed.
6:12 am

Did you hit the Starbucks on the way home? I did :)

7:37 am
mael
compound word, same root as the other bu7
7:38 am

In my opinion, neither the bu 7/48 nor the 7/52 are real words.
7:39 am
mamcitadbh
hyphenated maybe?
7:39 am
wvteach
thnx mael - hard to see compound words
7:39 am
mael
I agree about the 7/48, but the 52 is not so strange
7:39 am
mael
the bu7/52 of suspense? I would spell it that way (not that Enable asks me!)
7:39 am
Anniebrook
make the bu 7/52 plural

Funny how no one has clued un7 with the banana ice cream dessert. That must be out of style these days.
4:15 pm
Foffle

4:15 pm
MollyL
Or, our buddy Lickety. : D
4:16 pm
BzznBea
Haven't had one of those for a long time. Lickety would have been a good clue.
4:16 pm
Foffle
lol that was a great clue
4:16 pm
lilliann
hi all.wtg teach and tyvm molly.your un7 clue was the only one i got, but that's not taking anything away from the other cluers as i got all of them :)
4:16 pm
MollyL
I see them on the menu at Dairy Queen, but as I don't like bananas, never order them.
4:17 pm
lilliann
*i meant i got all the other clues(but not the un 7's)
4:17 pm
BzznBea
If I have one, I only want the strawberries. Do not want the chocolate or the pineappl.
4:18 pm
Foffle
:-o you don't like bananas?
4:18 pm

gapeach
Great, stidgmere.
4:21 pm
lilliann
hi gmere.glad you have had a nice day.it's nice to have some sun, cheers everyone up a bit, especially after all the bad weather we've all suffered
4:22 pm
stidgmere
I like to try new foods, too lilliann. Sometimes I have to look up on the internet to find a recipe that tells me what to do with the ingredients! Hey Foffle, don't be too amazed. This is our third day in a row with sunshine!
4:22 pm
crosshair
sun??..sun?? what is this sun thing you speak of?..rain today,snow yesterday and more rain tonight.we stand a slim to no chance of seeing tonight rare full pink moon
4:23 pm
stidgmere
Ty gp we are all feeling very frisky, including, Murphy who thinks this is his dinner time. Being a lab he thinks it is always his dinner time so twice a day he is absolutely right.
4:23 pm
lilliann
did you not have sun yesterday foffle? apparently it was suppose to be our hottest day so far this year.it was sunny up here but cold with the wind we ahd
4:23 pm
Foffle
well when you;re looking at constant grey skies it's good to hear that it's good weather SOMEWHERE
4:23 pm
stidgmere
Oh, crossy, my heart does go out to you. It might help knowing some parts of planet earth are cloud-free.
4:24 pm
Foffle
grey skies yesterday too
4:24 pm
crosshair
hehe,it is ok,my ghostly withe skin will have more than ample time to be burnt to a crisp this august
4:24 pm
lilliann
the liver was in a puff pastry basket and it had a mushroom,bacon and vermouth sauce.it was very nice but i think i would prefer more liver and no pastry
4:24 pm
MollyL
Banoffee pie is such a great recipe. The addition of bananas ruins it for me though. I had it made with pears once and loved it.
4:26 pm
stidgmere
There is a local commercial featuring a water park that is open all winter because it is all within a huge building. The funny part is how white the skin is on the family members in the commercial showing how much fun it is to be in the water.
4:26 pm
Foffle
it's my favorite but I love bananas
4:26 pm
lilliann
i've never had banoffee pie because of banans.does it have cream in it?
4:27 pm
Foffle
cream on top with chocolate shavings
4:28 pm
MollyL
Yes L, it's all creamy and banana-y, you would not like it.
4:28 pm
lilliann
sorry you've had crap weather crossy, but i'd get used to it as when you go to ireland in the summer it's bound to rain, as that is normally our summer over here.well, you might remember as you lived here didn't you?
4:29 pm
lilliann
i can't stand cream so i won't try your pear one molly

lilliann

5:02 pm
crosshair

5:03 pm
lilliann
the dictionary said the fl4 started in the U.S and was an americanism
5:03 pm
lilliann
i was going to say, that'll probably be safer but we can both still get into trouble with those too
5:04 pm
crosshair
yes,but it would be more fun while doing it:)
5:04 pm
lilliann
i would re-phrase that crossy :)
5:04 pm
crosshair
we could default to puppies and kitties..
5:05 pm
lilliann
that would annoy molly...oh we should, then she will appear..lol

5:28 pm
lilliann
i could have been living in new zealand as my dad was accepted in the police force there but my mam and dad didn't have the money to move over there. it would have meant that my dad lived there for about 6 months atleast before we could go and be with him but my mam and dad didn't want that

Because they have no life L. So they make one up on the internet to entertain themselves.
6:10 pm

i'm just too nice and believe what everyone says. my hubby is more worldly than me and would have known about him and says i'm too soft

This place is full of people who are too nice and believe a lot of stuff they should not.

crosshair
most of the money* i think 400 dollars made it through as a lure
6:14 pm
MollyL
They way I heard that story, all the PayPal money went through, because it was not sent directly to Wildcat.
6:15 pm
crosshair
yes,anything that she did not personally touch made it through
6:15 pm
lilliann
omg..wildcat.bloody hell
6:15 pm
lilliann
excuse french
6:15 pm
crosshair
it is ok,lillian swear away
6:16 pm
crosshair
we learned a lesson on that one
6:16 pm
MollyL
Again, it was someone taking advantage of the good natured people here. But really, it is never a good idea to send money to someone you only know through the internet. No matter how well you "think" you know them on line.
6:17 pm
crosshair
sage advice
6:17 pm
rururocks
,---I'm an idiot
6:17 pm
crosshair
i am right behind you,ru
6:18 pm
crosshair
i took my own stupid pills over that whole thing
6:18 pm
lilliann
i must admit i didn't send any money as i would prefer to do it personally as in straight to that person, but i actually liked wild cat. what a bitch!!! i'm going to stop being so personal on here with my life now as people will use it
6:19 pm
MollyL
L, even straight to that person is not always safe. How do you know that the sad story you are hearing is real? People scam other people on the internet that way all the time.
6:19 pm
lilliann
aww, crossy, you should let a bitch like that ruin your life.you are and will always be a better person and now you've learnt a lesson like the rest of us
6:20 pm
crosshair
we all did and ty,lillian
6:20 pm
crosshair
but now we move on and learn
6:21 pm
lilliann
very true molly. i only give to proper ??? forgotten the word
6:21 pm
lilliann
charities
6:21 pm
lilliann
as in the ones that i know are real
6:21 pm
rururocks
have I told you about my charity needs lately?
6:22 pm
lilliann
i was going to say who i give to but i'm not now as i don't know who is here and will use it against me
6:22 pm
lilliann
i'll give you a kiss on the cheek ru for your needs :)
6:24 pm
rururocks
that's my kind of charity.. :D
6:25 pm
MollyL
People talk about their hard times with money here frequently. And yet, in only two instances, was there an effort made to collect money. I have always wondered about that.
6:25 pm
lilliann
i thought you'd like it :D
6:27 pm
MollyL
Can you imagine what would have happened if "Frank" said he needed money to pay for Nancyboy's funeral?
6:27 pm
lilliann
thinking about it now molly, you're right.none of us here are rich and all have problems one way or the other but we never ask for anything and i certainly wouldn't want anyone asking for me.life is hard and we just have to get on with it the best we can
6:27 pm
crosshair
sigh,many of us would of been taken in,molly
6:27 pm
MollyL
Psst...L...there are several people here who are what I would consider "well off".
6:28 pm
lilliann
there would have been alot of people paying for it, that's for sure, even though they don't have alot themselves
6:30 pm
crosshair
what was the second fundraising attempt other than for mrp,molly? i do not recall that
6:31 pm
MollyL
It was before Mr. P, for Jellen. And organized by Wildcat. But all that money went through PayPal.
6:31 pm
crosshair
ahh ,ok
6:31 pm
lilliann
i like babble for the people who are the same as me.we like to play a game and meet new people and enjoy talking and learning about different countries and cultures and i might upset and annoy people here but i've met alot of lovely 'true ' people and am honoured to have met them who have been through hell and back and just lead normal lives and then to have people like that take from my friends appals me
6:33 pm
crosshair
have not seen jellen of late.she was the one who lost her fianceee to cancer?
6:33 pm
MollyL
But L, the thing is, a while back, you probably would have considered Nancyboy one of those lovely, "true" people. People get taken in very easily by creative liars. Sad but true.
6:34 pm
lilliann
omg, she did that for jellen aswell, but jellen was a real person wasn't she?
6:34 pm
crosshair
as far as i know she is
6:35 pm
rururocks
yep she is.. I've seen her
6:36 pm
MollyL
Yes. The difference being, all the money that was sent to Jellen was sent via PayPal. Which goes from you to the recipient. In the case of the Mr. P thing, people sent checks made out to Wildcat, due to currency exchange. I have never quite figured out why WIldcat was to be trusted to take care of that though.
6:36 pm
lilliann
very true molly.now i don't know who is real and not! that has spoilt this game as i truly thought that bthe people here were honest.i know we get trolls...actually i'd prefer the trolls atleast you know who they are so to speak
6:37 pm
lilliann
thank god god for that ru as i like jellen and she went through hell losing her other half
6:37 pm
crosshair
i think it was because she was invovled in the jellen thing and there was trust given there even though it was all pay pay.we let down our guard and i think the larger amounts for mrp must of been too tempting for wildcat
6:37 pm
MollyL
Good chance that most people here are genuine. But there are people who lie because that's what they do. And they love the internet because it's a great place to fool people.
6:38 pm
lilliann
oh, ok molly. aye paypal is better atleast you know it's getting to that person, or is it as there are so amny ways to commit fraud now
6:38 pm
MollyL
Honestly, I never understood why the larger amounts were sent in the first place. A small donation to an "internet friend" makes some sense to me. A large donation, to someone you have never met, does not. But that's just me.
6:39 pm
crosshair
our heart responded to mrp's plight and we all respond differently
6:39 pm
lilliann
i now actually remember wildcat asking for money for mrp
6:40 pm
crosshair
and i regret to all that i was a big promoter in that
6:40 pm
rururocks
I am a sucker for substance abuse issues
6:40 pm
rururocks
and dogs
6:40 pm
crosshair
as do i,i was an addict once that is my excuse
6:41 pm
lilliann
are you a sucker to wheelchair people with young children ru?? :)
6:42 pm
lilliann
i don't want money ru, a nice bottle of white wine would be great or a case :D
6:42 pm
crosshair
now,i just donate/work with the cancer society and volunteer at the shelter.it is good and my bit of paying it forward
6:42 pm
rururocks
wine is the easiest for me.. but it's hard to ship to Europe
6:43 pm
lilliann
what a bummer ru
6:44 pm
crosshair
lol,save the wine for someone with a palette.wine to me is what i cook with while waiting for the booze to show up;)
6:44 pm
rururocks
i wish I could send Jilli home with wine.. but she'd never make it through customs
6:44 pm
lilliann
i think that is the best crossy and good for you :)
6:45 pm
rururocks
I hardly ever drink booze
6:45 pm
lilliann
are you saying i don't have a palette crossy?? :)
6:45 pm
crosshair
my alcohol has to make a blue flame,sterilize wounds and be a fuel substitute for cars at need. no,i am saying that i do not have one
6:45 pm
lilliann
why is ahrd to ship to europe ru?
6:46 pm
crosshair
wine is all grape juice to me, lillian
6:46 pm
lilliann
i ws joking with you crossy :)
6:46 pm
crosshair

6:46 pm
lilliann
with my typing it looks like i've had too many anyway :)
6:47 pm
crosshair
if you used my typing as a guide,i would always appear three sheets to the wind
6:47 pm
rururocks
ahrd is like viagra for dyslexics lillian
6:47 pm
lilliann
lol crossy. me too which is why i drink it, it's healthy, it's full of fruit :)
6:48 pm
rururocks
...*knows crossy is always three sheets to the wind*
6:48 pm
lilliann
lol crossy
6:48 pm
crosshair
ru,i am not under the affluence of incohol,it's just that thinkle peep i are
6:49 pm
rururocks
and that's opposed to someone who is three shits to the wind around here
6:49 pm
rururocks
<----scatologist
6:49 pm
MollyL
There is a difference between being happily inebriated and constantly bitter.
6:50 pm
crosshair
actually it is sad in crossyland atm,the booze cupboard is bare and the place is dryer than a popcorn fart;((
6:50 pm
lilliann
anyway as much as i love talking to you real or not i need some more words so i'm diving in(molly hates that saying.i'm just waiting for her to re-appear and say something) :)
6:50 pm
crosshair
i love "diving in" and hunting for 'babblets"
6:50 pm
lilliann
oh, she there..lol
6:51 pm
MollyL
It's not a pool L, it's not a pool. And you don't have to say POOF when you leave either. : P
6:51 pm
crosshair
crossy often does a cannonball into the grid all the while speaking in the thrid person
6:51 pm
lilliann
i love that popcorn saying crossy
6:51 pm
crosshair
i say poink,not poof
6:52 pm
lilliann
i never say pool molly :) and i say poof just to wind you up, the same as hubby and !!!!!!! :)( i love her really) :) oh and happy faces :) :) :)
6:53 pm
lilliann
love ya molls :)
6:53 pm
crosshair
ty,lillian,cannot remember where i stole that from but remember that saying"using one book for your essay is plagerism,but use a thousand and it is research"
6:53 pm
MollyL
The law of the land was laid down about third person. I dare not mention that again.
6:53 pm
crosshair
since i do it,i will mention it for you
6:55 pm
lilliann
and i say poof so people know that i've gone so don't think i'm rude when they speak and i've gone :)
6:55 pm
lilliann
can i ask what are the differences between :) :P :D please
6:56 pm
lilliann
are there any?
6:56 pm
MollyL
No difference. All forms of adding a smile to what you have posted. Also frowned upon, as is <----
6:57 pm
crosshair
i say poink vs poof because poof is a derrogatory word for many of our euro friends
6:57 pm
lilliann
why frowned upon?
6:59 pm
MollyL
Never mind L. I am referring to an 18 point diatribe that was posted once about things people do and say in Babble chat. It was very bitter.
6:59 pm
crosshair
<----- does not understand why this is frowned upon:))
6:59 pm
lilliann
euro friends crossy, as in gay do you mean? i must admit i don't like saying it as i thought that but as a babble word everyone knows it, but you're right i will now make my own word up
7:00 pm
lilliann
oh, ok molly. i don't like bitter people, it takes up too much energy(as in to be bitter)
7:00 pm
lilliann
i don't want to be derrogatory about anyone.but i will tell you i'm a mean crazy bitch in a wheelchair!! lol
7:00 pm
crosshair
i had one of our british babbler mention it to me a while a go and i was only too happy to find an alternate
7:01 pm
lilliann
now you can say it and it won't be derrogatory :)
7:02 pm
crosshair
i stole "poink" from the tc childrens cartoons,it is what appears on screen when someone vanishes
7:03 pm
lilliann
i have some gay friends and it wouldn't offend them.
7:03 pm
MollyL
One thing I have never understood about a chat forum is why people need to announce that they are here, not here, not really here, will be right back, are back, what they did while they were gone, etc. But that's just me.
7:03 pm
crosshair
i used to be able to do a stationary wheelie in a wheechair.used to sit there poised on the back wheels and watch tv that way

lilliann
as you know i'm in a wheelcahir and have been called loads of names by people but i'm not offended.the only thing i ever got offende with was before i was in a wheelchair i had crutches and walked like i was drunk because of my balance problems and the bairn was little and someone said 2lokk at that drunk and she has a small child" i turned around and told her she knew nowt and get on with your own life as you never know what is around the corner...i actuallly wanted to swear at her and say alot more but i wasn't going to do it infront of the bairn
7:06 pm
lilliann
hi liz :)
7:06 pm
crosshair
lol,i remember from the old dr who series in the 70,s.we used to pick it up on old channel 17 the public donation broadcasting channel
7:06 pm
MollyL

7:06 pm
lilliann
i can do wheelies crossie
7:07 pm

I love doctor who - am so glad the new series started - funny watching the old ones - the technology's so outdated!
7:07 pm
crosshair

7:07 pm
Lizlin
Can't believe that people would make comments to you lilli!
7:08 pm
lilliann

7:08 pm
crosshair
my wife uses a white cane for depth perception when out as she can no longer judge the depth of curbs/sidewalks etc,i am there with her,but many people do not give an inch or even care and i have to be her blocker
7:08 pm
Lizlin
Are you off to Ireland, crossy? That's exciting!
7:09 pm
lilliann
i've heard loads of them liz and had people practically point in my face with the bairn about. now she is older i can send her away and tell them what i think of them
7:09 pm
MollyL
Sadly Liz, I can believe it. Some people live to make crappy comments when they are not necessary. Even right here in Babble chat.
7:09 pm
crosshair
yes,liz,we are hoping to have it all set for mid summer/early autumn
7:09 pm
Lizlin
That's true. I just find it really hard to understand people, who seem to enjoy being offensive to others.
7:10 pm
MollyL
Mrs. Gump would say "Bitter is as bitter does"
7:10 pm
Lizlin
That's fantastic, crossy. I'd love to visit Ireland - particularly the southern coast. From pics I've seen, it looks beautiful.
7:10 pm
gremlinn
These most definitely have different connotations... :) :P :D

7:11 pm
lilliann
i just think these people have sad lives and haven't got a clue what happens in the real world
7:11 pm
crosshair
so,for now crossy is her dog...woof!
7:11 pm
MollyL
I know Soodle is very excited about getting to meet someone from Babble chat.
7:11 pm
Lizlin

7:11 pm
crosshair

Maybe not *really* obscure
7:13 pm
Lizlin
Thanks Gremlinn! I have the dog bark!
7:14 pm
gremlinn
There's a set of three which may be related to that one (longer vowel sound)
7:14 pm
lilliann
i would love to have a dog and a properly trained disabled dog would help me alot as hubby away alot and the bairn at school so i can't always reach up or down as i get dizzy, but i couldn't always exercise it so it wouldn't be fair on the dog and i don't think i would be able to get one anyway
7:14 pm
Lizlin
Looking now!
7:15 pm
crosshair
long,long wait here lillian.demand is too high and both human and dog must be trained together
7:16 pm
Lizlin
I didn't realise that you'd have to wait so long for a dog, crossy. Quite surprised by that!
7:16 pm
Read-Knit-Bake
thank you. I was short the wrong du5. thanks...you helped! ty
7:16 pm
lilliann

OK - thanks gremlin - found the set of 3 - haven't heard of that word, though perhaps I've seen it in the grid before but had forgotten!
7:18 pm
Lizlin
Now just missing one y - so that's an improvement! Thanks for the help, guys.
7:18 pm
lilliann

Will the vision remain or deteriorate?
7:20 pm
lilliann

7:20 pm
crosshair
it has held,with surgery at 20/400 for last 5 years and seems to have stabalized
7:20 pm
lilliann
sorry to hear that crossy will it get worse?
7:20 pm
gremlinn
Liz: it might be more common with a W as the third letter
7:21 pm
Lizlin
A dog would give you company, when your bairn's at school!
7:21 pm
crosshair
i know the dogs can hel with socks and stuff from the fridge and brining the phone and opening the door etc
7:21 pm
crosshair
it may,lillian,but we remain positive
7:21 pm
lilliann
aye, when i'm having to lie down and it is on my bed frightening the cat :)
7:21 pm

I guess so, gremlin.
7:22 pm

The cat will learn to love it!!!!

7:22 pm
MimiCat
Crossy, I've always wanted to help train guide dogs and you have inspired me to look for volunteer opportunities. I've always been good at training animals and this would be so worthwhile.

it can be hard,but my beloved is tough as nails(she has to be to put up with me) and we count our blessings

MollyL
Thank you Liz. I had people say I was wrong when I said that earlier.
7:30 pm
Lizlin
Crossy - how about a day just filled with lots of special little things that your wife loves.
7:30 pm
lilliann
why not wait until you are in ireland and get something from there. there might be something she loves or something from that trip that will remind her of it
7:30 pm
Lizlin
Great minds, Molly. I knew I liked you :)
7:30 pm
MimiCat
I found a guide dog foundation here in Phoenix that is very close to where I live! They were already closed so I will call tomorrow. It would be a privilege to do something so worthwhile and I adore dogs.

Hi TO!

8:19 pm
72 Temple Owl
may i have a clue for the third d in the second column
8:19 pm
lilliann
banana ***** isn't a pudding where youa re TO?

car.eeyore
Hi Dan!
8:20 pm
72 Temple Owl
hello dan
8:20 pm
Minski
Pudding on your side I believe is the same as Dessert on this side. I would not call a banana sp5 a banana pudding as banana pudding is a different dessert
8:20 pm
lilliann
hi dan, i used you as a clue earlier :)
8:20 pm
car.eeyore
Hi wht! Hi Cyber! Hi Minski! Hi Lilliann!
8:21 pm
Minski
Is pudding here the same as custard over there?
8:21 pm
lilliann
well we call any desserts a pudding
8:21 pm
72 Temple Owl
banana pudding is banana flavored custard or a souterh seddert made with vanilla wafers vanilaa pudding and bananas and meringue
8:21 pm
lilliann
no, custard is custard

72 Temple Owl
i really need to go to sleep
8:23 pm
Dorens
car did you figure out one + 1?
8:23 pm
lilliann
we call any dessert a pudding so it could be crumble, cake whatever, if it is a sweet dessert it is a pudding and it comes after the main meal
8:23 pm
Minski
If I disappear suddenly it is because my ancient laptop overheated and turned itself off for a bit of a break.
8:23 pm
car.eeyore
HI Dorens!
8:23 pm
lilliann
oh, i didn't know that nan
8:23 pm

Whoops! i need the SECOND ad 5/16!

Pudding was originally used to refer just to desserts that were steamed, like sticky toffee pudding or christmas pudding. Over the years, it's come to be a general term for dessert.
8:26 pm

Yes, Mr. Arrogant jumps in to toss a bitter comment on a chat he wasn't even involved in. Typical.
9:21 pm

exactly molly
9:22 pm
lilliann
he does it on purpose...attention seeking just like my 13 year old. he needs to grow up!!

i don't understand why people have to say nasty things and then disappear.if you have something to say then say it but have the guts to stay and have a retort back
9:25 pm
smores
His comment was rude and uncalled for.
9:25 pm
MollyL
Yes, but he referred to everyone in chat as cowards. Right.
9:26 pm
lilliann
i looked too smores and saw that he went
9:26 pm
MollyL
Smores, most of his comments are rude and uncalled for.
9:27 pm
lilliann
he basically said that we are crude
9:27 pm
smores
Yes, crossy's tidbit today was a bit vulgar...but if it bothers you just say so, don't insult everyone in chat
9:28 pm
lilliann
we have a laugh and yes sometimes it is based on sex but not blatantly
9:28 pm
lilliann
if you can't take it, switch off the chat
9:29 pm
MollyL
L, he regularly calls people in chat scatologists, which means shit lovers. He lives to insult.
9:29 pm
lilliann
i'm not into alot of things talked about on here but i don't make a nasty comment about it
9:29 pm
smores
or you can say you don't like something without insulting people

he did it to me a few weeks ago

i'm not bothered about a sad person like that.i have more important things to worry about.life is too short to get upset about someone that wants to upset people
9:31 pm
lilliann
i saw that post too molly
9:31 pm
lilliann
that was what he meant smores
9:32 pm
smores
well...I say we have spent too much time discussing this as it is not worth it.
9:32 pm
MollyL
Like I said, I feel sorry for someone who has nothing better to do than obsess over chat, read over chat archives and jump in and insult. Can't be a very happy life.
9:33 pm
72 Temple Owl
don't feed the trolls!
9:33 pm
Dorens
if you feel sorry for him then why not stop talking about him... you've been on about this for 12 minutes now
9:33 pm
lilliann
he's beginning to be like a troll and i'm sorry if i'm upsetting babblers here who like him but when he says hurtful things to people which is unjustified then i don't care.no-one should say such hurtful things just to please themselves
9:34 pm
smores
lol...hey TO, Dorens :)
9:34 pm
72 Temple Owl
means don't talk to or about
9:35 pm
Dorens

72 Temple Owl
i am haning out because i am waiting for my zantac to work
9:38 pm
smores
cool...is it a charity event?
9:38 pm
MollyL
Sorry if the previous comments here bothered people, but it was time for things to be said, I think.
9:38 pm
Dorens
good luck. i thought yuo were going to sleep a while ago
9:38 pm
lilliann
good for you dorens wish i could do that :)
9:38 pm
lilliann
don't be sorry molly, i'm not
9:39 pm
Dorens
yes smokes.. child safety... but it's more about training.. trying to get the body in some sort of shape and challenges, etc
9:39 pm
MollyL
I'm not sorry for what was said, I'm sorry that it seems to have ruffled feathers.
9:39 pm
72 Temple Owl
i was,but my overindulgence at dinner has me up and mediating. i don't want to lie down till they work
9:39 pm
Dorens
smoRes not smoKes
9:39 pm
smores
I agree Molly...just if we spend too much time on it then he accomplishes what he set out to do
9:39 pm
72 Temple Owl
lol not mediating, medicating
9:40 pm
MollyL
You're right Smokes, it's the attention getting thing. And that Smokes was on purpose because it's my favorite auto correct. : D
9:40 pm
72 Temple Owl
doren, it is shadfest this weekend. but you will be doing your 5K
9:41 pm
smores
That's great Dorens :)
9:41 pm
smores
lol...Molly
9:41 pm
lilliann
i've given up on here now, because if your'e nice you ruffle feathers and if your not you do, well i seem to anyway.why should i apologise for havinmg my oponion when someone was blatantly nasty to someone else
9:41 pm
Dorens
not about ruffling feathers, molly, but it was unpleasant. and went on for much too long (12 minutes???, really?)
9:41 pm
Dorens
felt like i wasback in school
9:41 pm
smores
no apology necessary Lilli
9:42 pm
72 Temple Owl
doren, are you by any chance off on tuesday coming?
9:43 pm
smores
I can see what you mean Dorens..just had been ignored too long and I thing we needed to vent.
9:43 pm
Dorens
and no, apology not necessary at all. i just kind of felt like other chat would be more pleasant, and still do
no why> is tuesday a holiday?
9:43 pm
MollyL
It was unpleasant? How about what was said? What is always said by the same bitter, nasty poster? And Smokes is right, it was high time it was addressed.
9:44 pm
Dorens
enough is enough
9:45 pm
MollyL
Back to pleasant posting.
9:46 pm
lilliann
it is like being back at school. the bullies get away with it!!!

Just had an interesting experience on Boggle Bash on Pogo. A lady asked if anyone knew how to report a child predator....so I gave her resources and my email. Hope I helped. Makes my skin crawl to even think about it.

Hey Mimi...that is disturbing
10:12 pm
gapeach
Thanks much, smores and Jillyjill.
10:13 pm
MimiCat
I referred her to Child Help USA, any crisis hotline and told her her local police could certainly help. Haven't gotten an em from her so will assume she got help for her child....scary.
10:13 pm
Jillyjill
Makes my skin crawl too mimi...
10:13 pm
Lizlin
WOW! Deliberately shouted. Just been reading back - and that's before I joined in earlier this morning. Heavy stuff being discussed! And I like using smiles - words don't convey feelings at times!
10:13 pm
lilliann
omg mimi, i hope she gets in contact witht he police
10:13 pm
MimiCat
{Jilly} Haven't seen you in awhile....I missed you!
10:14 pm
MimiCat
Did the best I could and offered to do more. We're all in this together, after all, lilliann.
10:14 pm
Jillyjill
I was off line Su-Wed on a short vacation...
10:14 pm
smores
mmm....maybe I need to read back
10:14 pm
MimiCat
Did I hear you are going to see ruru this weekend or is that someone else?
10:15 pm
smores
nice Jilly...hope you had fun and welcome back
10:15 pm
smores
That's Jillibus Mimi..she was on earlier, just arrived today in CA
10:16 pm
Jillyjill
We did, went to a Hot Spring resort and a day trip to Yellowstone. Was hoping to connect with Trentsnana, but she is out of stake.
10:16 pm
Jillyjill
Ooooo very jealous of my 'sister' getting to see ruru!
10:16 pm
MimiCat
I'm so envious! I LOVE Yellowstone. You should have stopped in Arizona and picked me up!
10:17 pm
lilliann
exactly mimi, you couldn't do anymore, you've told her you'll be there for her to contact.:)
10:18 pm
gapeach
MimiCat, please keep in touch with her. There are many reasons people don't report this, but if she knows she has support it will encourage her, hopefully.
10:18 pm
MimiCat
Going to try to stay awake and watch "The Hobbit" now. Generally wanting to see a movie is a sure way to put me to sleep! Can try again tomorrow, though.
10:19 pm

I know about this, first hand.

Jillyjill
Help with the un7 plz
10:20 pm
MimiCat
Yes, peach, I'm hoping she will find the help she needs. At least I tried. Oh, no, peach....so sorry to hear that. I've done crisis counseling in a paraprofessional capacity for years....it can be heartbreaking.
10:20 pm
MimiCat
Bye for now and hugs all around.
10:20 pm
smores
left whole Jilly
10:20 pm

My email address is in my profile, peach, if you ever want to talk....happy to do so. Sometimes it's good to vent.

Thanks so much, MimiCat.

My pleasure....many hugs and hope to hear from you.
10:24 pm

10:28 pm
stidmama
hey all ((((gentle hugs and choclits for whoever whats them))))
10:28 pm
Lizlin
Obviously! Reading back about pudding. In UK terms, what Americans call pudding is more like blancmange or the whip desserts that come out of a packet!
10:28 pm
lilliann
and smores is right you, deserve to be happy and don't let someone get you down.you have a life so live it and enjoy every moment
10:28 pm

10:31 pm
stidmama
I have an sc 5/12 that looks like another word for "setting" only a different vowel at the end.
10:31 pm
stidmama
? is that English, Scottish, or Babblish, lilliann?
10:31 pm
smores
like a sc**e in a movie..diff vowel at end
10:32 pm
lilliann
sorry peach, i don't have any sc's
10:32 pm
lilliann
eaton mess is english
10:32 pm
Lizlin
I understand the offence comment now! Duh!!!! is my only response! You didn't say anything offensive!
10:32 pm
lilliann
my cat is now sitting on my mouse mat so i can't move my mouse
10:33 pm
smores
"flushes"
10:33 pm
Lizlin
Move the cat!
10:33 pm
stidmama

10:33 pm
stidmama
oh. cats. LOL
10:33 pm
lilliann

10:33 pm
smores

Thanks much, stiddie and smores.
10:34 pm
stidmama

10:34 pm
lilliann
it is crushed meringue, whipped cream, raspberries
10:34 pm
Lizlin
Eton mess is meringue and cream and strawberries and yummy!
10:35 pm
Lizlin
OK raspberries are fine too!
10:35 pm
stidmama
*wiping drool off keyboard* oh, Liz, that sounds DIVINE
10:35 pm
smores
ah...yummy
10:35 pm
lilliann
you have strawberries liz :)
10:35 pm
Lizlin
Both is better!
10:35 pm
smores
"loves meringue"
10:35 pm
stidmama
and lilliann... hm. I am going to have LOADS of strawberries this year!
10:35 pm
stidmama
and a friend is giving away raspberry canes...
10:35 pm
stidmama
I COULD do both! LOL
10:36 pm
lilliann
i agree with liz, have both
10:36 pm
Lizlin
Save some for me!
10:36 pm
lilliann

10:36 pm
gapeach
FW....thanks for all the help. I'm so glad to be in the world with all of you.
10:37 pm
stidmama
YAY peach!!!
10:37 pm
Lizlin
Congrats Peach and stay smiling - we love you :)
10:37 pm
lilliann
i have raspberries in my garden but i can't get to them so the birds get them. i keep telling the bairn to get them but she can't be bothered so they get wasted. i would'nt mind but they are expensive to buy
10:37 pm
stidmama
I am so glad you are here, peach --
10:37 pm
smores
WTG Peach .... well done :)
10:37 pm
Lizlin
Better than the bats, which get our mangos!
10:38 pm
stidmama
yes raspberries are pricey -- even around here where we have a lot of farms that grow them.
10:38 pm
lilliann
yay!wtg peach!! :)
10:38 pm
Lizlin
Here too - all berries are expensive!
10:38 pm
stidmama
I think, lilliann, that when we redo your chariot, we should include a hover-craft feature so you can get out in the lawn and visit ALL your plants.
10:38 pm
lilliann
really liz, bats eat mangos?
10:39 pm
lilliann
i have blueberries, black and red currants and the birds get them
10:39 pm
Lizlin
Yes - large fruit bats, also known as flying foxes! The cockatoos eat the mangos too, so we rarely get any off the tree!
10:39 pm
Lizlin
Loving stid's idea for a hover-chariot!
10:39 pm
stidmama
bats eat everything... bird netting doesn't help, Liz?
10:39 pm
smores
I can buy strawberries cheap here, but the rest are quite high
10:40 pm
lilliann
i did have nets over the bushes but then the young birds were getting caught and dying so i got them taken away, as i prefer the birds to get them then die
10:40 pm
Lizlin
I guess it would but it's not exactly our tree - a large part of it hangs over our garden though.
10:40 pm
stidmama
lilliann, if you EVER come out this way, I will make sure you can get to (most) of the berries in the garden, even if we have to put down plywood so you don't sink into the mud.
10:40 pm
Nef
Good Evening Everyone! How are you all today?
10:40 pm
lilliann
i also have strawberries
10:40 pm
Lizlin
Hi Nef :)
10:40 pm
stidmama
NEF!!!! (bounce bounce bounce) I TEACHED today!
10:41 pm
stidmama
how was your dinner party?
10:41 pm
smores
Hey Nef :)
10:41 pm
Nef
Hi lilli, Lizlin, and (((stid)))
10:41 pm
Nef
WTG, Stid! :-)
10:41 pm
lilliann
stid, i love the hovercraft idea :)
10:41 pm
Lizlin
Fantastic, stid - saw your post yesterday about hoping to teach today and liking the teacher.
10:42 pm
Nef
we had a lovely time, stud. It was so much fun to have such old friends here. So much laughter and good food and fun
10:42 pm
stidmama
it's a music teacher, and she is so very well organized. I enjoy being in her classroom.
10:43 pm
Nef
Ooops! STID, (not stud)
10:43 pm
lilliann
aww thankyou stid for the plywood.
10:43 pm
Lizlin
Old friends are great - new friends good too but I really miss my old friends in London :(
10:43 pm
stidmama
I am glad, Nef -- it makes me so happy when things go right.
10:43 pm
lilliann
so, how do you stop fruit bats eating fruit, if you can't use nets?
10:44 pm
Lizlin
You can't!
10:44 pm
stidmama
actually, lilliann -- a hovercraft might actually work. The technology has come a long way! *tries to think how to retrofit a chair to hover* might have to just plug into the house current to be sure there is enough power, though. We have an acre...
10:44 pm
Lizlin
Except by getting out to pick the mangos before they're fully ripe.
10:44 pm
lilliann
how did your teaching go stid? did you enjoy it?
10:45 pm
Nef
Liz, The Mississippi River runs between Minneapolis and St. Paul. We moved to the St. Paul side 20+ years ago, and the river is like a border here; it works better than the International border between the US and Mexico
10:46 pm
lilliann
when you figure it out stid, can you let me know as i can't get into my back garden in the wheelchair until we have enough money to make it wheelchair friendly
10:46 pm
Lizlin
I know the Mississippi is huge but that's quite a barrier!
10:46 pm
stidmama
it went well, lilliann -- planning first period; then "littles" (K and 1 and then 2 for half an hour each), then an empty class because the kids were on a field trip; then only 4 kids for keyboarding (the others on the field trip); then choir (being a vocalist this is the easy one for me); then another field trip class, but I sat in for the PE teacher so didn't have it "off". The last two classes I took outside. It was such a great day.
10:47 pm
stidmama
OR... lilliann -- what about putting off-road bike tires on your chair? they're bigger and wider...
10:47 pm
Nef
Liz, it isn't that big up here. It's just people "think" that the city on the other side of the river is too different
10:47 pm
Lizlin
Sounds like a great day - lucky kids having someone who really knows about music teaching them!
10:47 pm
lilliann
i'm so glad you had a great day stid. there will be more to come
10:48 pm
Lizlin
Funny that! I thought nothing of driving across London to visit my brother (from North to South) but here people think that 20 km down the coast is a long way and rarely head down to the places we've discovered.
10:48 pm
stidmama
I so enjoy teaching, that at this point it almost doesn't matter what the content is! AND I had a chance to thank the high school math teacher, because having been in her room so much this year I was a lot more confident teaching the middle school kids when I had them for all those weeks.
10:48 pm
lilliann
i also have a mobility scooter which has wider wheels but i can't get near my shed as we have decking which now needs to be renewed
10:49 pm
Lizlin
That's great, when you really enjoy teaching. Used to love being in front of a class - it was everything else that spoiled it!
10:49 pm
lilliann
i need to have the back garden whelchair friendly and also a washing line that i can reach as all my washing as to be dried on the radiators in the house so it's costing me more

subbing is great, liz -- all the fun and very little of the less-fun. Unless I am in a room more than two days I generally don't have to correct anything or plan; or make the phone calls home.
10:50 pm
Lizlin
Is the pay good for subbing in the US?
10:51 pm
Nef
And it doesn't help that the 2 ("Twin") cities were planned by different ethnic groups: St. Paul was laid out by the Irish on the design of the 7 hills of Rome and Minneapolis is laid out on a grid numerically and alphabetically by a bunch of (mainly) Swedes; both back in the 1800's
10:51 pm
Lizlin
In the UK it used to be good - but of course if you don't work, you don't get paid.
10:52 pm
Lizlin
I guess you get used to the differences, Nef and just adapt depending on where you are!
10:52 pm
stidmama
lilliann, have you seen this site? I love the term "enabled garden" -- I have to be so careful about the size of the beds and how I get up and down. I am close to asking Tom and Grant to put in more defined raised beds so that I can sit and garden.
10:53 pm
smores
grrr... my girls are being loud and giggly
10:53 pm
smores
had to go quiet them down
10:53 pm
Lizlin
Cannot believe I've only just seen the na 4!
10:53 pm
stidmama
the pay is horrible for subbing... I get about the same amount as a paraprofessional for a lot more education and responsibility. BUT until I have a "room of my own" it's better than nothing.
10:54 pm
Lizlin
9 d's left!
10:54 pm
stidmama
LOL smores. Spring is in the air!
10:54 pm
Lizlin
Any chance in the near future of a room?
10:54 pm
Nef
lilli, last year when DH was having all the back problems I got out some saw horses and put some long planters (they're plastic and made to hang on deck railing) and then put a bunch of plants in them so he could garden. It worked so well we're going to do it better this year (Our 2 small gardens are raised; but they are only about 12 inches higher than the rest of the yard (we're building them up with our own compost)
10:56 pm
stidmama
oops. forgot the link... http://tinyurl.com/3cu4yvw
10:56 pm
Lizlin
Groundforce (if you remember that programme, Lilli) did a raised bed garden for someone in a wheelchair. I'd forgotten until Nef mentioned raised gardens.
10:56 pm
stidmama
Liz, I am looking, but to be honest with building a new house I might be better off putting that on the back burner for one more year.
10:57 pm
stidmama
It's nice to be able to say I am unavailable for a day or a week as needed.
10:57 pm
stidmama
Nef, I love that idea!
10:57 pm
Lizlin
Sounds like a sensible idea - but the idea of being able to choose which day to work sounds appealing.
10:58 pm
stidmama
yes, and if I didn't have the student loans to pay off, I would be content to sub forever, I think!
10:59 pm
Lizlin
Can I have a clue for de 6 / 27 pls - the first one, after the plural of a male name.
10:59 pm
lilliann
ty stid and nef. we are, well i should say i'm ignoring hubby as it is my garden and he's never here and when he is he doesn't garden design. i want/need raised beds and i still want a lawn but i have someone to cut it every 2 weeks.i need to design something where i can get around in the chair but still do a little gardening,i have arthritis in my fingers and weak wrists so i can't do alot
11:00 pm
lilliann
i want easy gardening but still want my fruit and flowers
11:00 pm
Lizlin
Is it possible to find the old Groundforce programme on the internet and get some ideas?
11:00 pm
stidmama
have you considered a different ground cover than grass? something that mounds slightly and doesn't need mowing, that can take some foot (or wheel) traffic?
11:01 pm
lilliann
i like grass so would like to keep some of it the problem i have is that we live on a hill so my garden is sloped
11:01 pm
stidmama
I have some areas of the lawn that are mostly clover, and I really like gardens that put different colorful clumping grasses (also drought tolerant!) instead of green spreading grasses.
11:02 pm
lilliann
so we are going to have to have 3 tiers so i can get to each and they will all have a ramp
11:02 pm
Lizlin
That's a great idea
11:03 pm
lilliann
but i want to keep half of it grass too.
11:03 pm
Nef
Do you have railings by your doors? We have a little 3 foot landing and then 3 steps down to the back yard by one door; we've hung a 3 foot deck railing planter on the flat railing at the top of the steps. It's our herb garden and we have cilantro, parsley, thyme, marjoram, and basil growing there all summer for our cooking
11:03 pm
stidmama
I like that idea! I used to have a "ramp" that I had cut along one side of the yard into the orchard area, but time and kid/critter feet eroded the edges again.
11:03 pm
lilliann
i love the clover idea stid
11:04 pm
lilliann
i have all my herbs in tubs in the front yard nef we have had that brick paved so wheelchair friendly for me
11:05 pm
smores
okay...3 giggling girls and cats...the dog is the only one behaving
11:05 pm
Nef
that's great, lil!
11:05 pm
lilliann
how do yopu get clover?
11:05 pm
stidmama
good dog!
11:05 pm
stidmama
buy clover seed? it's a common "cover crop" because it fixes nitrogen in the soil.
11:06 pm
smores
I know...she is a good dog
11:06 pm
lilliann
aww, bless him. how does a cat giggle smores? :)
11:06 pm
stidmama
crimson clover is beautiful but short-lived. white clover spreads ... but if you are able to monitor it, it doesn't move too fast.
11:06 pm
stidmama
crimson clover is also taller.
11:07 pm
lilliann
i'll have to look out for it stid, thanks
11:09 pm
lilliann

11:20 pm
Lizlin
iPads do that! So does my iMac - sometimes I check but most often I press enter too quickly!
11:20 pm
Lizlin
You can turn the auto correct off though.
11:20 pm
jillibus

Go to settings. Scroll down and find keyboard. Touch keyboard and then there's a list, which includes autocorrect. Slide the tab to off.
11:24 pm
jillibus
