Hi Ruby. Hope you're having a great time with your family :)

I think ghastly would be a good descriptive word/ They're leaving tomorrow and I'll send you an e-,ail

2:26 am

rubyfoo

G-d for Xanax!

2:26 am

rubyfoo

that was thank et

2:27 am

rubyfoo

who invented it, G-d or Pfizer?

2:27 am

Lizlin

Ok - no further questions! Is it safe to asks how the dogs are?

2:27 am

Lizlin

Actually, more importantly, are you ok?

2:28 am

rubyfoo

Rufie's hot spots are clearing up but he hates and is afraid of John

2:28 am

rubyfoo

and Denise talks baby talk.....

2:28 am

rubyfoo

I am going to scteam.....SCREAMING!!!!!

2:28 am

Lizlin

Hugs and lots of them

2:30 am

rubyfoo

and John has mastered th art of sarcastic condesension {sp??}, just like his father {my ex}

2:31 am

Lizlin

:( really sad for you.

2:31 am

rubyfoo

I have missed this, but, among other things, John says I'm an addict both to online games, online friends and meds

2:31 am

rubyfoo

very disappointing

2:31 am

Lizlin

Not his "problem"

2:31 am

rubyfoo

he calls me crazy

2:32 am

Lizlin

He doesn't have to live your life and cope with some of the things you've talked about.

2:33 am

rubyfoo

"crazy dog person" is one of his snide names for me

2:33 am

Lizlin

Not an animal lover then!

2:34 am

rubyfoo

he doesn't undertand the way I am with the dogs; I guess h thinks that talking baby talk to them is better.....

2:34 am

rubyfoo

He dogsat for one week and has become the world's leading expert, thinks all dogs had be perfectly trained, doesn't understand the ways in which chows are unique

2:34 am

Lizlin

Don't understand why anyone would baby talk to animals or children!

2:35 am

rubyfoo

and are independent like cats

2:35 am

Lizlin

One week doesn't make you an expert

2:35 am

rubyfoo

and Denise keeps say ing "good dog" or "bad dog" or "no" at inappropriate times.

2:36 am

Lizlin

Breathe a big sigh of relief tomorrow

2:36 am

rubyfoo

and says what sane person gives dogs cheese but I would like to know how else you an give them antibiotics

2:36 am

rubyfoo

can*

2:37 am

rubyfoo

at least I will be able to send some photos now

2:37 am

Lizlin

You give dogs tablets however you can! Not an easy task

2:37 am

Lizlin

Or any medication

2:37 am

rubyfoo

My first dog would happily take her pill and then 5 minutes later, she would spit it out in another room

2:38 am

Lizlin

Good, I'll look forward to seeing some. Did your son sort out the other computer glitches for you?

2:38 am

rubyfoo

srt of

2:38 am

Lizlin

Sneaky dog. I remember my mum giving pills to our dog. He hated it!

2:39 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, rufe is having a barking fit; I'll have to go upstairs and join the family

2:39 am

lynxxx

I recommend pills wrapped up in strasburg (spelling?)

2:39 am

lynxxx

Hi Ruby and Liz

2:39 am

Lizlin

Hi Lyn

2:39 am

rubyfoo

2:39 am

Lizlin

I assume that's a type of sausage

2:39 am

rubyfoo

you missed my whining; poor iz was patiently listening.....

2:40 am

lynxxx

oh - and crushed and mixed into pate or similar

2:40 am

Lizlin

Np ruby- that's what friends are for :)

2:40 am

rubyfoo

sausage, cream cheese, ham or anything. The vets all say the dogs like the pills but unless you struggle to get it down their throats, it is much easier to wrap the neds in cream cheese

2:41 am

lynxxx

I agree

2:42 am

Lizlin

Me too

2:42 am

rubyfoo

I'm really going to spend my time struggling with a dog for 10 days of twice a day neds NOT!

2:43 am

rubyfoo

cees

2:43 am

Lizlin

As if!

2:43 am

rubyfoo

worry, off I go

Lizlin

Hi Molly - shame your name was spelt incorrectly in the last grid!

6:48 am

Lizlin

Can you clue the he and ma 8s please? I don't have either!

6:48 am

MollyL

It's okay. It separates me from the little black fishies.
: D

6:50 am

MollyL

h + arrival abbreviation at the airport + Viking "The Red's" first name

6:51 am

Lizlin

Lizlin

Well, almost!

7:03 am

cool.girl

7:04 am

Lizlin

Clue for oc 7 please (and no, I don't have the 5 before it)

7:04 am

MollyL

7:06 am

Lizlin

Hi smores - good morning to you :)

MollyL

Lizlin

7:19 am

smores

I was all set for my favorite omelet not knowing I was out of Swiss ch6...just wasn't the same with cheddar :(

7:20 am

Lizlin

That's so disappointing - you look forward to something and then it's just not right!

7:20 am

MollyL

*Hands Smores a tissue*

7:21 am

smores

Yep...and silly me had the onions, mushrooms and spinach already in the pan before I realize it

7:21 am

Lizlin

Handing smores Swiss ch6 would be better

7:21 am

Lizlin

Sounds yummy

7:21 am

smores

Thanks Molly ..."sniff"

7:21 am

smores

lol

7:21 am

MollyL

That sounds like a great omelette, with the cheddar, minus the fungus.

7:22 am

smores

7:22 am

Lizlin

Glad to see the UK spelling th 5, Molly ;)

7:22 am

7:25 am

smores

:)

7:26 am

smores

I had kinda forgotten about sage sausage...haven't had any in years.

7:27 am

smores

We are having fish for dinner too Liz..tilapia though

7:28 am

Lizlin

Had that on Thursday, I think it was.

7:28 am

Lizlin

Stuffed myself on sausages at a barbecue last night - definitely needed something lighter tonight. Weight not friendly today!

7:29 am

smores

Sausages??...I thought you only ate fish

7:29 am

Lizlin

Why did you think that?

7:30 am

smores

hmm...maybe thinking of someone else

7:30 am

Lizlin

Possibly because I'm kosher - so don't eat bacon.

7:30 am

smores

for some reason I thought you were a vegatarian..except for fish

7:31 am

Lizlin

Not me!

7:31 am

smores

lol :)

7:32 am

smores

Oh I know..it was when you were getting ready for your citizenship...you mentioned they were doing a BBQ but they would have salad

7:32 am

Lizlin

Hate it when I can't find a 4 letter word!

7:33 am

Lizlin

Ah! That's because it wasn't kosher!

7:33 am

smores

yep...still got a bunch of 4's

7:33 am

Lizlin

32 words left but only 4 x 4's - bit frustrating! But I'll find them!

7:34 am

smores

ahh..okay

7:34 am

smores

100 left for me

7:35 am

Lizlin

It's not a bad grid, so far. Couple of really weird words - clues have helped.

7:35 am

smores

but not looking to hard ..currently petting a kitty and chatting :)

7:36 am

Lizlin

Chatting and thinking about bed and a book!

7:36 am

Lizlin

Or more accurately, bed and an iBook!

7:36 am

smores

:)

7:38 am

smores

ha...finally found my last D de5...no wonder I missed it :)

7:38 am

Lizlin

Abbreviation!

7:39 am

MollyL

I thought Kosher meant no pork

7:39 am

smores

and I think it is a crazy thing to do to coffee :)

7:39 am

Lizlin

It does but it's more complex than that.

7:39 am

smores

also the way meat is prepared Molly

7:40 am

Lizlin

There are a huge number of dietary laws - some of which I follow - there are many people who observe much more strictly than me!

7:41 am

smores

okay Liz...silly ?...what the heck is up with Kosher pickles?

7:41 am

Lizlin

???

7:41 am

smores

:D

7:41 am

MollyL

Ah, I guess I was thinking of the Biblical cloven hoof chews no cud thing.

7:42 am

Lizlin

That's part of it - but it's in the way the animal is killed too and not mixing milk and meat products.

7:42 am

Lizlin

Not sure what you mean about pickles

7:42 am

smores

Kosher dill pickles...how can a pickle be kosher or not

7:43 am

Lizlin

Ah! I think it's just the style of pickling!

7:43 am

Lizlin

A pickle is a pickle is a pickle!!!!

7:43 am

Lizlin

to me anyway. Someone else might have another answer.

7:43 am

smores

:)

7:44 am

smores

I just always thought that was funny

7:45 am

MollyL

According to our friend Google, Kosher dill means no animal fat in the brine. Which is gross and I never use it when I make pickles.

7:45 am

Lizlin

I don't think I ever thought about it. I used to buy sweet and sour pickles in the UK but they taste different here, so I buy the dill ones - I'll think about it every time now!!!! LOL

7:45 am

Lizlin

Why would there be animal fat in brine?

7:45 am

smores

I must say though, Hebrew National is the only hot dogs I'll eat

7:46 am

smores

eww...now I will make sure to just buy kosher pickles

7:46 am

MollyL

It's in manufactured dills and they use polysorbates in the brine, which contain animal fat. Another reason to make your own everything.

7:47 am

MollyL

Hebrew National and Nathan's are the only hot dogs I buy.

7:48 am

Lizlin

Interesting. Can't get either of those brands here! I miss the hot dogs that I used to get in England - perhaps if I lived in Melbourne or Sydney - but can't get the same things here.

7:48 am

smores

and I love Hebrew Nationals slogan ' We answer to a higher authority"

7:48 am

Lizlin

LOL!

7:48 am

smores

:D

7:49 am

Lizlin

OK - Almost 11pm here and a few things to do before bed. Fun chatting, as ever. Catch you soon and enjoy your days :)

7:49 am

MollyL

That is something that would defeat me, living in another country. I am very brand sensitive when it comes to certain foods.

7:50 am

Lizlin

You learn to adapt. Many brands are similar - clothes are my problem - I still buy from Marks and Spencer over the internet, when I can and when they have free postage!

7:51 am

smores

Night Liz...sleep well

7:51 am

Lizlin

There are also still some things I miss and get people to bring over when they visit.

7:51 am

Anniebrook

Name that proper noun...author Theodore ******

7:51 am

Lizlin

But really going now. Good night from here :)

smores

8:12 am

MimiCat

Good for you, crossy! I went back to school a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it. Got straight A's, too!

8:13 am

smores

don't let them make you feel that way Mimi

8:13 am

crosshair

indeed,maybe they will assign me a pretty little 25 year old to mentor me the first week;))))

8:13 am

smores

Mrs. crossy might have something to say about that!

8:13 am

8:14 am

smores

:)

8:14 am

crosshair

she might have something to say indeed!

8:15 am

MimiCat

I do plan to go back as soon as I can. I went online and really enjoyed it. It was much tougher than my in-class courses were years ago but I felt the education was superior.

8:15 am

MimiCat

I made friends with one of my profs and we still email.

8:15 am

jmcnrick

hi mimi i just dropped in to say i am graduating today at 62 from a master's program with a posse of 20 somethings. . .go mimi go!

8:15 am

crosshair

8:16 am

smores

I'm piddling around with a couple free online courses right now..no credit but it's a good brush-up for me

8:16 am

Anniebrook

8:16 am

crosshair

8:16 am

jmcnrick

my biggest problems were: groups

WOOHOO jmc :)

8:16 am

jmcnrick

8:16 am

crosshair

8:16 am

jmcnrick

yes I am so excited for carlee!

8:17 am

MimiCat

Fabulous, jmc! A Master's is what I'm ultimately aiming for as well. Since my field is Psychology and I want to do therapy, my age works for me rather than against me.

8:17 am

jmcnrick

no that was not an issue crossy. . .

8:17 am

MimiCat

Going online is great because there are all ages from all over the country. Very interesting.

8:17 am

jmcnrick

haha being old enough to be calm and not to be snookered!

8:18 am

crosshair

yes,that will be a plus

8:18 am

Uneaixoise

congrats, jmc!!!!!!

8:18 am

jmcnrick

8:19 am

8:19 am

crosshair

we want a picture

8:19 am

8:20 am

jmcnrick

8:20 am

MimiCat

8:20 am

jmcnrick

jmcnrick

8:22 am

crosshair

8:22 am

jmcnrick

mine is hoxes. . . why is that not a word?

8:22 am

MimiCat

I wrote the paper in my major field so I could use it later and also so I could reference myself in the future!

8:22 am

Anniebrook

jmcnrick

8:25 am

MimiCat

8:25 am

jmcnrick

8:26 am

MimiCat

8:26 am

jmcnrick

8:26 am

jmcnrick

8:27 am

jmcnrick

I would so much love one of those here in the west. Will try to organize one when my finances improve. BTW, my godson and his wife live in DC right now while he's working on his PhD. He had scholarships for his entire education. So proud of him. When he's done in DC he is going back to Berkeley. His mother is my best friend and we're both planning to relocate to northern California when he goes back. Would love to get out of Phoenix. Hey, then we'll be close to ruru!

9:11 am

72 Temple Owl

after today, 5 days of rain and cooler and gllomy

9:11 am

MimiCat

I've stayed here because my grown kids are here, but as they get older I'm liking them less and less so am contemplating a move to a more congenial location for myself.

9:12 am

MimiCat

I should live somewhere it's cold all the time because these days I look so much better with more clothes on.

9:12 am

welki

(we do get a few weeks during the summer where the temps could hover in the low 90s)

9:12 am

See if binding it helps, TO. But if it's that painful, you should stay off it until you see the doctor so you don't make it worse.

Good morning, loves. I really need to be doing household drudgery instead of idling away here.

9:25 am

MollyL

*Hands Judi the toilet bowl cleaner*

9:26 am

72 Temple Owl

that is a clue for co 9 bea?

9:26 am

Judi

Gee thanks, Molls. Actually, the laundry room is my destination. And the ironing board. *grumble*

9:26 am

BzznBea

Yes, to

9:27 am

hokie carla

hey y'all. slow going here for a board this size.

9:27 am

72 Temple Owl

i have the female who inherits singular...

9:27 am

MollyL

It is a clue for co9. I would say one of two females who gain an estate

9:27 am

72 Temple Owl

ah....

9:28 am

MLFAN17

nbt and nbs thanks for the clue and to morewords i got the 9

9:31 am

rururocks

you mean like Ellen Degeneres and her wife Molly?

9:31 am

MollyL

Ironing is the ultimate drudgery Judi. I need loud rock and roll to get through mine.

9:32 am

MollyL

Degenerate and her wife gained an estate?

9:32 am

Judi

Luckily, I can watch TV while I iron. One of my most hated chores tho.

9:32 am

Judi

And, on that note... off I go. Toodles, y'all! *POOF*

9:33 am

BzznBea

Hubs does the ironing here. While in college during the 60's, he took in ironing from the dorm for spending money.

9:33 am

hokie carla

yes, I have to watch TV while ironing, as well. I have a friend who does laundry and ironing every Mon. I can't be that organized. My ironing goes into a basket and when it's overflowing I do it. Find clothes I forget I had.

9:34 am

MollyL

People ironed in the '60's?

9:34 am

hokie carla

I have another friend who irons nothing, but there are certain things that just look bad.

9:34 am

BzznBea

He ironed men's shirts, Molly.

9:34 am

MollyL

I do laundry every day. I don't care for the smell of a week's worth of dirty clothes.

9:34 am

hokie carla

Yes, people ironed in the 60s. My mom still irons things like jeans and bedsheets.

9:35 am

MollyL

Ah, I have often wondered about people who iron sheets.

9:35 am

BzznBea

My mom took in ironing in the late 60's. Niagra spray starch is one of my favorite smells.

9:36 am

hokie carla

no joke, Molly. my mom will iron sheets here at my house to go back on the guest bed, and I'm like, it isn't necessary!

9:38 am

BzznBea

Friday afternoon, we had a drunk driver's car land iin our front yard.

9:39 am

BzznBea

Been an interesting weekend around here.

9:40 am

MollyL

Oh damn Bea, did it do much damage?

9:41 am

BzznBea

Just roughed up the grass a bit and took some bark off the tree he side swiped.

9:41 am

hokie carla

When will people learn?

9:42 am

BzznBea

Pretty bizarre.

9:42 am

mkg

hi all.

9:42 am

mkg

any clues for the 9?

9:42 am

BzznBea

He swerved to miss a car that blew through the stop sign.

9:42 am

hokie carla

I saw some mention it was a co9 but haven't found it and didn't feel like scrolling back. ;-)

9:43 am

BzznBea

mkg, check Molly's clue at 9:27

9:44 am

hokie carla

got it, thx. had the main word but didn't think of it being a co.

9:46 am

mkg

i have the 7..................but i dont see the 9/

9:47 am

hokie carla

surprise, surprise - the remaining blank tiles I have are vowels.

9:47 am

mkg

oh i just got it. ty.

9:47 am

mkg

weird word.

9:47 am

BzznBea

The 9 has nothing to do with the 7.

9:48 am

BzznBea

I guess the 7 does work with the 9...sorry.

9:48 am

hokie carla

it does have a correlating 7, just starts with a different letter.

9:48 am

MollyL

Well, I'm glad no one was hurt and that the damage was minimal, Bea.

9:49 am

BzznBea

Me too, Molly.

9:49 am

BzznBea

After checking that no one was hurt, both cars drove off.

9:50 am

mkg

any clues for the 8s? i have only one: you eat a grilled ch**** sandwhich, ch**** is made from milk, and then more so. what are others please?

9:50 am

hokie carla

what, they destroyed your property and left?

9:50 am

MollyL

More and more, I feel like the majority of drivers on the road are dimwits.

9:51 am

hokie carla

that's the only one I have, mkg

9:51 am

Christa

good morning babblers

9:51 am

BzznBea

If you saw our yard, you wouldn't say they "destroyed" it.

9:52 am

hokie carla

Ok. Where are you in NC? I'm near Concord.

9:52 am

hokie carla

morning, Christa.

9:52 am

BzznBea

We are just 20 miles from the VA border, north of Raleigh.

9:53 am

BzznBea

I'm sure neither driver had insurance and they both probably had warrents out on them.

9:53 am

hokie carla

Ah.

9:54 am

MollyL

My sister used to live in Raleigh. Nice area.

9:54 am

hokie carla

I've only driven through. Never actually stopped there.

9:54 am

BzznBea

Raleigh is a very nice area. Our county is not so nice.

9:55 am

hokie carla

My guess is, being close to VA, it is more rural than Raleigh.

9:55 am

hokie carla

I grew up in VA, but nowhere near there. down on the TN border.

9:56 am

BzznBea

It is. And it is not as diverse as Raleigh. Most of the people here have no legal jobs.

9:57 am

mkg

i still have three letters with no words. back later.

9:57 am

BzznBea

Time for me to bzz...

9:57 am

2:52 pm

smores

gotta love Al....."And where you see clouds upon the hills, You soon will see crowds of daffodils"

2:53 pm

MollyL

(And here comes my favorite part) So keep on looking for a bluebird, and listening for his song...whenever April showers come along.

2:54 pm

MollyL

When I first looked at this game, I thought "Oh this can't be hard. There are only 25 letters. How can you not find all the words pretty quickly." Hahahahahaha!

Translation: She's gettin' it : P

3:02 pm

Trifioso

molly!

3:03 pm

MollyL

Oh sorry, she's meeting a very nice, respectable man for tea on a regular basis.

3:03 pm

Trifioso

we had a lovely day, if you MUST know! Church, then home, where secondo made us WONDERFUL pancakes. Did a few chores, then played tennis - secondo, valentine, and I.....and now hes taking a nap whilst I am babbling

3:03 pm

Trifioso

and watching the red sox, of course

3:03 pm

Soodle

Rofl!!! Molly L! Lowering the tone again! But, if she's accurate - good for you Trif!

3:03 pm

Trifioso

best part was playing tennis - more than mr. hate ever did with his kids!

3:04 pm

Trifioso

I am madly in love, soodle, that much is true

3:04 pm

Soodle

Ooooh, delicious, Trif. Good for you!

3:05 pm

Trifioso

he's LOVELY.

3:05 pm

MollyL

He's her funny Valentine. He makes her smile, with her heart â™¥

3:05 pm

Trifioso

and his father was from ireland, so you would approve!

3:05 pm

Soodle

Does he have 2 brothers? (One for me, one for Molls)!

3:06 pm

Trifioso

he had one, but sadly he passed a few years ago

3:06 pm

Soodle

Arrah! If he has Irish blood, there will be good in him!

3:06 pm

Trifioso

there is SO MUCH good in him

3:07 pm

Trifioso

3:07 pm

Soodle

Feckit! Back to the drawing board Molls....

3:07 pm

Trifioso

how are things with you, soodle?

3:07 pm

smores

LOL...stepped away for a minute...happy for you Trif :)

3:07 pm

flosey

Glad to hear your happy news Trif, enjoy

3:08 pm

Soodle

Good enough Trif. I'm very very happy for you!

3:08 pm

Riverdance

and dont forget me.....I need a Valentine too....

3:08 pm

Trifioso

thanks all. I LOVE you guys!

3:08 pm

Riverdance

Hello my wonderful ladies

3:08 pm

flosey

hi River

3:08 pm

Trifioso

seriously, after my five years of HELL, this makes for a welcome change. The best part is how good he is with the kids. GREAT man, fantastic dad

3:08 pm

Soodle

Hi River, Flo, Smores, et al

3:08 pm

MollyL

So many quality women, so few quality men.

3:09 pm

Trifioso

not that he is my childrens' dad, but you know what I mean....it's good for them to have a strong man in their life. He listens when they talk. They LOVE him

3:09 pm

Riverdance

good for you Trif...you deserve some happiness

3:09 pm

Soodle

<------what Molls said. :-(

3:09 pm

Riverdance

triple that....

3:09 pm

Riverdance

and thats a big bonus Trif

3:10 pm

MollyL

Does he have kids?

3:12 pm

smores

yep...what Molly said

3:12 pm

Riverdance

uh oh I think we lost Trif

3:12 pm

Soodle

I had a call from my ex today, to inform me that his latest girlfriend in Thailand has had a baby. That makes 3 by-blows in as many years, all with different moms. I am spitting feathers.

3:12 pm

smores

wonderful Trif :)

3:13 pm

smores

ugh..wow Soodles

3:13 pm

Riverdance

OMG Soodle....does he not know how to keep it in...

3:13 pm

MollyL

Why does he call you to tell you such things?

3:13 pm

smores

send him a box of condems

3:14 pm

flosey

ah soodle, why does he just have to let you know all this, just mean, and you are the better without him, IMHO

3:14 pm

Soodle

The gobshite is heading for 60! But still, those calls really REALLY upset me!

3:14 pm

MollyL

Soodle, he has no reason to be calling you anymore. Block his number.

3:14 pm

smores

well...gotta go...gonna watch a movie with my daughter

3:15 pm

flosey

bfn smores, enjoy

3:15 pm

Riverdance

tell him that or just dont answer....those woman have no sense either to be having a baby with a 60 year old man

3:15 pm

Trifioso

soodle, I am SPEECHLESS> Ugh!

3:15 pm

smores

sounds like he needs more than his number "blocked"

3:15 pm

Soodle

Enjoy, Smores. :-)

3:15 pm

Riverdance

enjoy smores

3:15 pm

Soodle

Quadruple ugh, Trif.

3:15 pm

smores

thanks..bye :)

3:16 pm

MollyL

Trif, does Valentine have kids?

3:16 pm

Trifioso

yes, 2 grown sons, molly

3:16 pm

Riverdance

I have to say I dont know how I will react when I see my ex with a new woman....its all too new!

3:16 pm

Trifioso

its awkward as ass, river, but you survive

3:17 pm

Riverdance

we have a great group of common friends so I know it will happen at some point

3:17 pm

Riverdance

and he is still living in my house....cant wait for him to move out so I can move on!

3:17 pm

Trifioso

though I suppose in my case, its a bit different....I do wonder sometimes how different I would feel if I saw mr hate with a new woman. Seeing him with a new man was odd enough though.

3:17 pm

MollyL

River, at first it's weird, and then you start laughing.

3:17 pm

Soodle

Its shitty, River, but you'll build a bridge & get over it. :-)

3:17 pm

Riverdance

oh thats right...forgot about that....that might actually be easier

3:18 pm

Trifioso

I know that at some point I will have to meet Valentines ex....DREADING it

3:18 pm

MollyL

Because you know he's putting his best foot forward, and you know what comes next...for her...

3:18 pm

Trifioso

MollyL

That is true SMom, it's a whole different thing when it's YOUR baby who is in distress.

3:31 pm

Soodle

Molly!!! Your 'girlie-in-law has been promoted to 'daughter-in-law'?

3:31 pm

sammysmom

3:31 pm

MollyL

My girlie in law has been a daughter in law for six years. I just refer to her as girlie in law.

3:32 pm

3:33 pm

Matches

MollyL

Six years is why I'm tapping my foot, whistling and waiting around for grandkids.

3:34 pm

3:38 pm

uusue2

Hi soodle!

3:38 pm

MollyL

I used to call that Phone Radar. You on the phone means they do not have your undivided attention and they will do ANYTHING to get it back.

uusue2

Ah, thanks Molly, I was trying alternate endings

3:56 pm

MollyL

It's sad that this godforsaken game claims that te4 is not in the dictionary, but accepts four other words that build off of it. And it IS in the dictionary.

3:59 pm

uusue2

Hmm, found three words that build off it...

3:59 pm

MollyL

Oh, geewillikers, another black mark against my name for using "godforsaken game" : D

5:54 pm

Jillyjill

It's usually one of two kinds that irritate me, the swaggering male whom has to make innuendos, or the chatterboxes...

5:55 pm

periwinkle

I used to work in a hopsital and there was a male patient who was always exposing himself to people, especiallly women.

5:55 pm

MollyL

Ick to both, especially swaggering males.

5:56 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...peri, had an old 90+ year old male in a nursing home I worked at...did the same thing...plus, how should I put it, was quite amply endowed...

5:56 pm

periwinkle

5:57 pm

Jillyjill

Oh, and I also have low tolerance for wimpy people..like...cowboy up, if you want sedation I have to put in an IV...

5:57 pm

MollyL

Wow, 90 and still infatuated with his organ. I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.

Pip, why did you have a test on Sunday?

pippingeek

lots of evening and weekend classes

6:36 pm

MollyL

Never heard of six and seven hour classes either. That is more than kind of awful.

6:36 pm

I should start on a garden post in a few minutes, tea -- I have a few garden updates which will be nice. Otherwise, there are frustrations, worries, confusions, and a whole lot of wishes about "what might have been"

9:10 pm

smores

ah...I remember that age with mine...:)

9:11 pm

CrackersNTea

I'm sorry. We are going to be up there in July - we must get together.

on the other hand, actual DRAMA involvement has done wonders for the younger !

9:13 pm

flosey

lol stid, there were times when I wished that was compulsory

9:13 pm

stidmama

and the kids are going to roll their eyes, too!

9:13 pm

CrackersNTea

lots of eye rolling already, lbd. they are both in the highly gifted program at school, so they are really smart AND they know it, so it makes for interesting times.

9:14 pm

smores

9:14 pm

smores

I call mine on it before she does it...she hates that

9:14 pm

rururocks

last 2 and stumped, oc7 and 6, help please?

9:15 pm

stidmama

Need to involve them with kids who aren't in that sort of program, tea -- kids who have a lot going on (just not in academic areas). It's a good experience to learn that book-smarts aren't everything. I think that is partly what the drama involvement did for Grant

9:15 pm

Minski

Hey y'all. does anyone have the RA6/21?

9:15 pm

CrackersNTea
