12:33 am

flosey

12:34 am

stidmama

12:35 am

m9f9l

Yes. Gage certainly makes up for it in many ways :-)

12:35 am

The garden is growing but rabbits or something are getting into it. My Little Darling rose shoots got eaten even though the places is thoroughly fenced. Great new gardener guy had put a little exta fence around it and several other plants.

12:39 am

Bugsaw

good night ladies. I am blind to words now so must be off. Have fun Babbling

12:39 am

I am glad your new gardener is working on the issue, sorry you had trouble with hungry critters.

12:41 am

m9f9l

I would like to garden, but I'm so terrible at it

12:41 am

m9f9l

I didn't know they ate rose shoots

12:41 am

stidmama

deer eat everything related to apples and roses, and most of everything else, given the chance!

12:42 am

flosey

they'll eat almost anything sweet and tender

12:42 am

jillibus

this guy is fabulous -- knows all about all plants and what they like, plus not expensive and very pleasant and reliable.

12:42 am

flosey

hubby had to add extra fencing beneath the soil

12:43 am

flosey

that was for the rabbits

12:43 am

jillibus

we're having a rabbit plague here in the last couple of years -- never before.

12:44 am

stidmama

I haven't been home enough to know how our little neighborhood fox family is doing, but I suspect they are not as thin as they used to be. Mother has rabbits all over her yard.

12:44 am

flosey

and it will only get worse if people don't do something about it

12:46 am

m9f9l

You mean they're breeding like...well...rabbits?

12:47 am

stidmama

LOL m!

12:47 am

flosey

for sure m9 - 1 rabbit can have an average of 6 litters in a year - with 6 - 8 babies

12:47 am

jillibus

what do do about it? My mother's Ausralian cousin introduced myxomatosis there -- see http://www.csiro.au/en/Outcomes/Safegu\narding-Australia/Myxomatosis.aspx

12:47 am

m9f9l

WOW. I saw cute little cotton tails at the river a week or so ago

12:48 am

m9f9l

But we also have a lot of hawks and eagles in that area...

something funny, when I affectionately called the local restauranteur's dog poopy (as I call mine allthe time), hethought I was saying puppy and called an English-speaking friend that, which was met with big laughter

Kaplan the Magne

I am so happy to be not on an airplane and to be home

5:09 am

Kaplan the Magne

so all you can give me is a 38 word grid???

5:13 am

Kaplan the Magne

so how come you call your dog poopy and not puppy anyway?

5:17 am

Kaplan the Magne

I'm back for 2 minutes and I kill the chog???

5:21 am

o-o

a 15/20 minute grid means fewer around to chat

5:22 am

Kaplan the Magne

bummer. I have to wait for the americans to wake up

5:25 am

o-o

I am awake and finished .... going to tell the owner I do not think I got my money's worth today

non-Americans: need verification (finished early, randomly checking definitions since I use a lot of little ones I don't really know): ge4/7 (before the rock) was indeed a direction for a pack animal, but if I'd trained the mule, it would answer by going right -- one of the definitions said it was "to the left" in Europe. Whaddya know?

5:37 am

Kaplan the Magne

I have jetlag anyway but your question made it worse

5:40 am

jwr

sorry, o Magne. I'm sure babbling is JUST the cure for jetlagging. The question is, if your pilot wasn't American, did he come in ge4/7 to the right or to the left?

5:41 am

jwr

or she, as the case may be

5:41 am

Kaplan the Magne

We did before do circles around Logan

5:42 am

jwr

would it be better, then, if we went round clockwise or widdershins?

5:42 am

Kaplan the Magne

we circled Boston for 40 minutes before landing at Logan because of where we were in the queue

5:43 am

jwr

Now I'm getting the feeling I'm going round in circles with you.

5:43 am

jwr

welcome home, anyway.

5:44 am

Kaplan the Magne

I am home and that's the main thing.

5:47 am

jwr

It is the main thing indeed. I shall save my trivia question for a more off-shore chog. Finish the grid, have a nice warm bath and a soothing drink and pull the cool sheets up over you and sleep well into the holiday.

5:50 am

jwr

I'm about to poof off to write a film review of Spark, A Burning Man Story.

5:51 am

gone...

jmcnrick

hi all

5:56 am

MimiCat

Hi, jmc! I'm finding this to be a very difficult little grid...just about to give up until later. It's only 4 am here and may try going back to sleep...later, dear.

5:57 am

jmcnrick

sounds like a good plan. . .fresh eyes. . .

5:57 am

jmcnrick

i am just trying to sneak it in before a long day. . . .

5:57 am

MimiCat

Why a long day?

5:58 am

jmcnrick

my last class. . .week long. . . so they give me the degree i walked at graduation for. . .

6:00 am

MimiCat

Ah, I see. I so much miss school. Want to finish my degree as well. Hated stopping after just getting back to it but no choice. Good for you, though!

6:00 am

jmcnrick

[blush] this is my third. . .undergrad, law, and now a masters

6:01 am

jmcnrick

if you go back i will cheer you on!

6:02 am

MimiCat

A bit of an overachiever, huh?!! That's great. I only have a few classes to finish for my Bachelor's and then want to go on to a Master's. I'm hoping to go back next year. I'll need the support...thanks!

6:03 am

jmcnrick

babbleland can be very supportive of these things. . .

6:03 am

jmcnrick

not so much an overachiever as a change of directions. . .

6:03 am

MimiCat

The funny thing is I'm already published on original research from the first time I was in school over 30 years ago!

6:04 am

jmcnrick

wow!

6:04 am

MimiCat

Good for you keeping your options open...how much of a change are you making?

6:04 am

jmcnrick

well it turns out not as much as i thought. . .

6:05 am

jmcnrick

i took this master's program in conflict resolution thinking i would end up in international development. . .

6:05 am

jmcnrick

but i found clarity that what i was driven to do was to advocate for a better government. . .so i am trying

6:06 am

jmcnrick

alright it is time for me to hit the road. . .45 minute drive to class. . .

6:07 am

MimiCat

You know, my field is conflict resolution also....psychology.

6:07 am

jmcnrick

but before i go what was the original research?

6:07 am

MimiCat

They are having class on a holiday? I thought maybe you were doing this online.

6:07 am

jmcnrick

there is an element of that. . .

6:08 am

jmcnrick

well it is a mennonite school and peace churches are not big on celebrating military holidays. . .

6:08 am

MimiCat

It was mother-infant relationships using a group of vervet monkeys. Published with UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute. We got 3 papers out of it.

6:08 am

jmcnrick

nice. . .

6:09 am

jmcnrick

okay really must toddle off. . .bbl

6:09 am

MimiCat

Funny, I never think of this as a military holiday though I know it is...I think of it as remembering loved ones and friends. OK...bye, dear.

6:10 am

jmcnrick

a little of both mimi. . .i personally think about the reporters and activists who gave their lives. . . but i suspect i am alone in that. . .

6:10 am

jmcnrick

9:55 am

9:56 am

crosshair

it is a word to do with mathematics and fractions.a real odd one using the high point tile

9:59 am

Nef

OH! Gotta brag!!! I took my grandson down to the fishing dock on the lake 2 blocks from us and he caught his first fish --a 3 inch long bluegill (panfish). We put ti back in (of course); but the little guy has been practicing his casting on the front lawn for the past 3 weeks and he does better than me! :-)

10:00 am

jesdraggon

there is no place within 25 miles to get doughnuts here! We have a freaking safeway but they don't have a bakery. Well, you can get the cheap boxed kind but that's not really the same. :(

10:00 am

crosshair

yaaa! first time fishing with the kids is a riot.remember,if you do not want to mess around with the worms you can use niblets corn.works well for the sunfish/perch etc

10:00 am

mkg

cant get that al 7. need more clues please.

10:02 am

jesdraggon

was mohamed al* the guy who said that ****e about sting like a bee?

10:03 am

jesdraggon

half way :)

10:03 am

Nef

We went without any bait; I figured he'd just enjoy the casting and reeling in like the yard; but his dad came down after a while and had some tiny bread crumb bits and that's what he caught it on.

10:04 am

Nef

OOOPS! Off to PB again.

rururocks

I didn't want my standard peanut butter toast on a holiday

11:05 am

I'd eat bacon too, but there's none cooked and I'm trying to be quiet because Bruce is still asleep

11:06 am

jesdraggon

mornin' kje :)

11:06 am

rururocks

*knows how she could wake Bruce up...*

11:06 am

uusue2

I told Frank I'd fix him breakfast, probably shouldn't babble too long but wanted to say hi

11:07 am

kje

I skipped the carbs... had scrambled eggs with mushrooms and cream cheese

11:08 am

jesdraggon

there are several ways bruce would enjoy, and i'll consider them if he's not awake by the time i eat :)

11:08 am

uusue2

ooh, that reminds me, we have some mushrooms that need to be eaten soon, maybe I can incorporate them in breakfast...

11:08 am

jesdraggon

but he worked all day yesterday marking and digging ditches with my dad for the footings of the new house, and he was wiped out last night.

11:08 am

rururocks

cream cheese? really?

11:10 am

kje

why is that shocking?

11:10 am

jesdraggon

sounds like Bruce is awake. Better throw some pudding in for him too :)

11:10 am

rururocks

just with mushrooms that doesn't sound right

11:11 am

rururocks

..must be a texas receipe....

11:11 am

uusue2

sounds good to me, sort of like an egg stroganoff

11:12 am

kje

about an ounce or maybe a little less... makes the eggs creamier, and tastes delish with the mushrooms

11:12 am

rururocks

hmmm

11:15 am

rururocks

hoping to take a long walk to burn off the carbs.

11:15 am

I wandered off to eat my pancakes... new house jes? sounds exciting!

11:19 am

jesdraggon

slow going...we're hoping to have it liveable (though we know it won't be finished) by this winter, but that sort of depends on some money things.

11:19 am

jesdraggon

turns out, building a house is expensive...

11:19 am

jesdraggon

who'd've thunk it?

11:22 am

kje

I hiked 8 miles in the hills Saturday. had planned a 6.5 hike today on mt tam, but decide I'm a little sore to hit the hills again. would love a nice flat 6-7 mile hike somewhere though...

11:22 am

rururocks

they are indeed.. expensive to build nowadays

11:24 am

stidmama

yes, expensive and lots of things to consider.

sounds ambitious, kje -- aren't there some fairly flat areas south of you? seems there are birding spots near san jose

11:26 am

stidmama

go harpjane go!

11:28 am

harpjane

i hate to ask for help, but i can't see the lone e. it' is ed4/6

11:29 am

jesdraggon

turns out that construction loans are nearly impossible to get, and we can probably get as much or more spending out of a line of credit through our bank, so we're working on that

11:29 am

phaeton

ed..**as I say

11:29 am

jesdraggon

ed 4/6 is an edible root, taro

11:30 am

harpjane

thanks

11:30 am

harpjane

i went every direction but that one!

11:30 am

harpjane

nbt woo hoo

11:31 am

kje

7 miles is not ambitious, unless hills are involved. the hills are killing me. I used to do 12-14 miles on weekends in TX with no problem, but of course, that is flatter than flat. I need to build up my hill stamina now that I'm no longer a flatlander

11:32 am

kje

and those 12-14 miles would only take me 3-4 hours early on a Saturday morning. now 7 miles takes me close to 3 hours as the terrain is tougher... I feel like a wimp

11:33 am

rururocks

you could walk from the ballpark to the Marina

11:33 am

stidmama

Jes, we got a construction loan through a local bank and the interest rate was reasonable.

11:33 am

rururocks

that's all flat

11:33 am

penquis

woohoo....this lurker is done!

11:33 am

stidmama

If you want the name I will email you?

11:33 am

stidmama

YAY penquis!

11:33 am

penquis

ty!

11:35 am

stidmama

kje, I used to walk huge distances with some decent hills just in our town when I was young (not that I am saying you are not young, understand...) but flat walking is a completely different type of pace and stride. I actually think I do better still on moderately hilly ground most of the time. Not that I hike any more. :-)

11:35 am

jesdraggon

sure, stid - but we only have 2 local banks, and most that I called that don't have a local branch didn't want to loan for construction in an area they don't have a representative

11:35 am

jesdraggon

or they just don't do construction loans at all.

11:36 am

rururocks

banks are very tight on those kind of loans right now

11:38 am

jesdraggon

they want to sell the homes already n the market rather than build new

11:39 am

rururocks

kje isn't young :D

11:41 am

stidmama

LOL I suppose from your advanced perspective, ruru, she's still an embryo?

11:42 am

rururocks

*note to self: take stid off xmas list *

11:44 am

stidmama

ooooh. that missing lump of coal will really make me sad!

11:44 am

rururocks

:D

11:44 am

stidmama

:-D

11:45 am

stidmama

If I ever make it down your way and meet you in person, ruru -- LOL people are so funny. They never look the way I picture, but they always act the way I imagined.

11:46 am

rururocks

i'm sure I don't look the way you've pictured me

11:46 am

stidmama

back in a while -- apparently there is yet another friend I forgot to tell about the fire. *sigh* anagram of fish word. *poof*

11:47 am

kje

true, I am not young... but neither am I old. It is humiliating to be passed by someone 20 years my senior running past me on a hill!

11:47 am

rururocks

oh.

11:47 am

kje

I'll improve... eventually... getting my hill legs

11:48 am

rururocks

age is relative

11:49 am

kje

nah... it is pretty firm!

11:49 am

kje

now, how someone looks at a given age is relative....

11:50 am

rururocks

I don't think I look my age (I don't act my age either) :D

11:50 am

kje

how old are you?

11:51 am

rururocks

59

11:51 am

kje

just over a decade older than me...

11:52 am

kje

btw, you'll stay younger if you'd go get that knee repaired!

11:52 am

rururocks

it's on my to-do list

11:53 am

kje

move it to the top

11:54 am

jesdraggon

i thought you already got your knee done? is this the other one?

11:55 am

kje

he chickened out ; )

11:57 am

jesdraggon

chickened out?! tsk, ruru!

11:57 am

rururocks

I don't want to be in a weakened state in a SF hospital that KJE has access to :D

11:58 am

kje

that is a reasonable concern... go do it in LA

11:58 am

rururocks

lol

11:58 am

jesdraggon

hah. coward! Don't tell her what hospital until it's done

11:58 am

kje

I think I will bake a citrus pound cake today... being tempted by a recipe I just saw

11:59 am

kje

then again... I really need to get back on a diet...

11:59 am

kje

but it's chilly here and perfect baking weather

12:00 pm

rururocks

maybe a cream cheese frosting?

12:00 pm

jesdraggon

and chocolate chips in the mix!:)

12:00 pm

kje

no.... citrus glaze

12:00 pm

jesdraggon

(we are so helpful with dieting, aren't we?)

12:00 pm

kje

though, this pound cake has cream cheese in it

12:01 pm

kje

chocolate chips in it doesn't sound appealing to me at all

12:01 pm

rururocks

<----knew it

12:01 pm

jesdraggon

not a chocolate covered orange fan? (me either, but mostly because of the orange...)

12:01 pm

kje

it's only going to be in the 50s here today, ru... looks a little foggy out there

12:02 pm

kje

I love choclate covered orange rind! bbut not in this recipe

12:02 pm

rururocks

it is cooler up here too.. chance of rain

12:03 pm

kje

i think i will run to the butcher... get the chick3n to make some more sausage... hagd all

12:04 pm

stidmama

bye kje -- you knew I was coming back?

12:04 pm

rururocks

bye

12:04 pm

rururocks

me too off for a walk

12:04 pm

stidmama

bye ruru... enjoy the outside time!

12:05 pm

jesdraggon

bye, kje, ru. have a lovely day :)

12:06 pm

stidmama

I am still looking for my last word and think I should list ...

12:07 pm

jesdraggon

i can clue for you :)

12:07 pm

jesdraggon

what are you missing?

12:09 pm

stidmama

the A 7

12:09 pm

stidmama

just the second letter and count would be enough I think

12:09 pm

stidmama

and thanks in advance :-)

12:10 pm

jesdraggon

al 7/40

12:10 pm

stidmama

okay thanks *thinking*

12:10 pm

stidmama

yep

12:10 pm

stidmama

don't know why I didn't think of that combination before, I was trying all kinds of variants!

12:11 pm

jesdraggon

yay! glad to help :)

12:11 pm

stidmama

I suppose you use those measurements all the time, in your business?

12:11 pm

stidmama

nice to finish a grid, I only manage to finish little ones these days.

12:12 pm

jesdraggon

occasionally :)

12:12 pm

jesdraggon

but i didn't see the word in the grid until crossy clued it for someone else

12:15 pm

stidmama

ah, I know that well!

12:16 pm

stidmama

okay, I have to pull myself together and get a decent printer so I can be ready for that interview and ... Tom wants to make the old printer that was in the storage locker work, but it doesn't. I need something more reliable.

12:16 pm

jesdraggon

going shopping then?

12:16 pm

stidmama

And I want better shoes for Thursday, too. The mary janes I wear to teach in are practical, but not very professional...

12:17 pm

stidmama

yes, I think so -- just a little bit. ;-)

12:18 pm

stidmama

I spent a whole lot on Saturday on carving materials for Grant and me. good chisels are expensive. so are good pocket knives for carving.

12:18 pm

jesdraggon

carving?

12:18 pm

stidmama

at least the scraps of wood from the "seconds" bin were reasonable! LOL

12:18 pm

jesdraggon

I didn't know you carve

12:18 pm

stidmama

I make lino blocks for printing when I have time, and Grant carves wood.

12:19 pm

stidmama

vicuna got me into it -- I am nowhere near her level of detail, but I have fun.

12:19 pm

jesdraggon

cool :)

12:19 pm

stidmama

I am full of surprises, jes -- like the tardis, I am "bigger on the inside" *wicked mama grin*

12:20 pm

stidmama

of course now I need more of everything else... but I have the chisels! LOL

12:20 pm

jesdraggon

hah

12:20 pm

stidmama

I need to order more silk painting materials, too - Mother and I have plans for this summer.

12:21 pm

jesdraggon

our house was briefly bigger on the inside than the outside, but that turned out to be architect labeling error...

12:21 pm

stidmama

hm. I could disguise my chisels as sonic screwdrivers...

12:21 pm

stidmama

too funny, jes! what will the house look like? two stories? juliette balcony? rambling roses clambering up trellises and over the veranda?

12:22 pm

stidmama

now there's a thought -- I could design a kitchen that looks like the tardis control room. Must run this past Tom!

12:23 pm

jesdraggon

hahahaha. no trellis or roses, those take work

12:23 pm

jesdraggon

it's basically a full floor daylight basement dug into the hill, with a half floor second story

12:24 pm

jesdraggon

clerestory windows on the second floor, and that floor opens over the living room (no jumping!)

12:29 pm

Jillyjill

Hey Jes, Ben is doing much better this morning, thanks again! Back to his old self; but still going to take him in on Tuesday. thanks again!!

12:29 pm

jesdraggon

yay! glad i could help :)

12:31 pm

Jillyjill

Sang with harpjance this morning. She said it was a teeny grid...just popped in whilst potatoes cooking. Hello stiddy! LOVE cleristory windows

12:31 pm

stidmama

that sounds lovely, jes -- bright and cozy at the same time. think building into the earth in places where it gets so cold makes great sense.

12:31 pm

stidmama

nice jilly! glad you got to sing today!

12:32 pm

stidmama

I wanted to do at least a partial basement but Tom was dead-set against it.

12:32 pm

jesdraggon

we wanted to live in a cave, but the architect said no.... something about laws requiring escapes from bedrooms. pooh.

12:32 pm

stidmama

but it doesn't get all that cold here, so it should be fine.

12:32 pm

stidmama

yes, those silly egress laws. Otherwise we could put the kids in windowless, airless rooms and ...

12:33 pm

Jillyjill

whoops, timer bbl

12:33 pm

jesdraggon

so we get a little patio into the hill out a door from the bedroom, and we added a glass room off the livingroom so Bruce can have an herb garden

12:33 pm

stidmama

no sorry, that was my teacher-self talking! *wicked teacher grin* there are times that it feels as if schools are designed to prevent kids from ever seeing daylight around here. :-(

12:34 pm

stidmama

:-) perfect!

12:34 pm

stidmama

later jilly

12:34 pm

stidmama

well, I really should get my old tired carcass off the sofa and start moving around a little. Tom already has a load of laundry going.

12:35 pm

jesdraggon

heh. there have been times i'd like to chain the kid in a dungeon :)

12:35 pm

stidmama

(((jes))) I hope I see you online again soon! bye lurkers! *poof*

12:35 pm

jesdraggon

have fun shopping, stid!

12:53 pm

2:04 pm

crosshair

The U.S. Marine Corps is actually older than the United States itself, having been founded in 1775.

2:06 pm

crosshair

our southern friends*

2:17 pm

TraderKate

sorry crossy, wandered away for some liquid refreshment. interesting - were they called the "united states" marine corps, or something else when they started up?

2:18 pm

TraderKate

does anyone have the stats for the 6 please?

2:18 pm

Nef

Hi again. I'm back for a few minutes and with 5 left, I'm not hunting for clues; just the stats for that 6 letter word please.

2:18 pm

Nef

LOL, TK, you and I are in the same boat! :-)

2:18 pm

TraderKate

hi there nef :)

2:19 pm

Nef

LOL! Just got it too! To 6/27, TK

2:19 pm

TraderKate

i need 4 here... 1 g, 1 c, 1 o, and 1 t... getting out the butterfly net AND the fishing pole....

2:20 pm

Nef

I need 1 g, 1 d, and 2 t's yet.

2:20 pm

TraderKate

thank you nef, hunting now :)

2:21 pm

Nef

1 g goes down in the grid, TK (it took me forever to see it

2:21 pm

TraderKate

betting you need the do 4/7, i had to monkey that one ;)

2:21 pm

crosshair

earliest name i can find for them was in 1776 and they are known as the continental marines during the revolutionary war

2:23 pm

Nef

thanks, cross. That was an interesting tidbit.

2:23 pm

TraderKate

where do you come up with all these tidbits crossy? just surfing around?

2:23 pm

crosshair

crossy has his sources:)

2:23 pm

TraderKate

that was my g! thanks nef :)

2:24 pm

TraderKate

2:25 pm

Nef

WTG, TK! You can do it!

2:25 pm

TraderKate

betting you need a to 4/7 and pl nef

2:26 pm

Nef

Hmmm, 2 of my last 4 words are 4's, 2 are 5 letters.

2:27 pm

TraderKate

arghhhhh! JUST found the music hall.... fish slap for me... 1 more now :)

2:27 pm

Nef

no, TK; I do have those

2:28 pm

TraderKate

so we both need a c word - it must be 4 letters if that helps

2:29 pm

Nef

try going down on that one too, TK. I still need those same last 4.

2:29 pm

TraderKate

do you have a knit cap?

2:30 pm

Nef

2:30 pm

Nef

2 left; finished the T's

2:31 pm

Nef

1 D; 1 G

2:31 pm

TraderKate

do you have a rocky g word?

2:32 pm

Nef

yes. I need a 4 letter word and a 5 letter word yet.

2:32 pm

TraderKate

that was the only 5 letter g word, so the g must be a 4 letter one...and the d word must be the 5...

2:33 pm

Nef

I've reached the point where it's monkey time. But that's okay on this tiny grid! :-)

2:33 pm

TraderKate

you have a pl missing for the d word.. you will kick yourself ;)

2:34 pm

Nef

OUCH! You were right, TK! Twas a fish and I did kick myself!

2:34 pm

TraderKate

2:35 pm

Nef

I have that one too

2:36 pm

TraderKate

2:38 pm

pippingeek

2:38 pm

pippingeek

it's an axolotl, a very cute water critter, i can't recall if it is amphibious or not

2:39 pm

TraderKate

good grief! finally got it, don`t know how i missed that one! thanks :)
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!!

congratulations nef!!!

2:41 pm

pippingeek

i get to use lasers to look inside people's eyeballs!

2:42 pm

Nef

what area do you plan to specialize in, pipping?

2:43 pm

pippingeek

i'm actually interested in either emergency or orthopedics, i think, but job is job

2:45 pm

MollyL

*Clinks glasses with Pip* Nice to see you enjoying a day off.

2:45 pm

TraderKate

you have more sane schedules with ortho, if that makes a difference

2:46 pm

Nef

Dang. The laundry is calling me again. BBL!

2:46 pm

TraderKate

bye nef :)

2:46 pm

pippingeek

but with emergency you're more likely to end up with something like 4 10s that give you 3 days off. it's all a trade-off

2:46 pm

pippingeek

i had to make a choice for the household budget.so at 90 dollars a month the cable was cancelled.no big loss with 4 good channels out of 400.out of that 90,i took 40 and maxed out my internet speed and got unlimited data then will spend 8 dollars a month for nex flix .the other 42 dollars goes in my pocket.and the best thing of it all??? no more honey boo-boo! i do not have to grit my teeth when i see commercials of her and her family

2:59 pm

pippingeek

yay!

2:59 pm

gremlinn

I've been without cable for two years, so I've never had to see that or a commercial for it.

2:59 pm

pippingeek

i haven't had cable in 3 years, i watch what i feel like on netflix or various other places on the internet, and generally don't miss it

2:59 pm

gremlinn

Yup, Netflix for me too, and the internet for news.

2:59 pm

smallest grid was 26

3:11 pm

crosshair

largest was 744

3:13 pm

TraderKate

i went looking for the 744, but cn't remember when it was... mid to late february?

3:13 pm

crosshair

last march i think

3:14 pm

crosshair

or this march just past or some darn thing like that

3:14 pm

there ya go:)

3:15 pm

MimiCat

Just read back a bit and wanted to tell those of you who are streaming that especially if you get Netflix streamed, you should invest $60 (one-time charge) and use a Roku box...that way it streams to your TV rather than watching on the computer screen. You can also use Amazon.com and Hulu Plus but must pay their rates in addition.

3:16 pm

MimiCat

BTW, I still hate this ferocious little grid so will come back tomorrow! Bye and hugs.

3:16 pm

crosshair

indeed,that is my plan mimi.the new roku3 has a bunch of nice features

3:17 pm

MimiCat

They upgraded my Roku 2 to the 3 automatically at no charge but I'd like the headphones with the remote for 3...might get that separately later.

3:17 pm

crosshair

you all can google roku 3 and cnet for a nice review on it with all the info

3:17 pm

crosshair

yes,i like the idea of the headphone remote

3:18 pm

MimiCat

I'm also going to subscribe to Hulu Plus since it has shows I can't get through Netflix. Another $8 a month but sure still beats those cable prices!

3:18 pm

crosshair

if you do not have a hdmi port on your tv,i gather you will need to find a roku 2

3:19 pm

MimiCat

Roku is adding new channels all the time, also.

3:19 pm

crosshair

<---- wishes he could get hulu

3:19 pm

Glantarell

fireworks

3:19 pm

crosshair

yaaa for glant!

3:20 pm

Glantarell

and there i was thinking to would take up the rest of my evening LOL 14 minutes is a personal best

3:20 pm

MimiCat

I don't understand why you can't get Hulu, crossy.

3:20 pm

crosshair

it is not allowed north of the border,mimi,CRTC regulations

3:20 pm

Glantarell

Off to watch a film on LoveFilm - Â£1 a month cheaper than Neteflix here...

3:20 pm

MimiCat

Happy viewing, Glan!

3:21 pm

Glantarell

Hulu is not allowed anywhere except the US

3:21 pm

crosshair

same reason i had to get my brother in the states to send me my nook reader.all about copyrights and content

3:22 pm

crosshair

my nextflix,mimi,will be vastly different than yours for example

3:22 pm

crosshair

it is all about copyrights and who can use what and canadian content all rolled into one massive ball of mystery lol

3:23 pm

TraderKate

with reference to the 744... you should go to the archives and read some of the comments at the flip :)
12:02 am jillibus
128 C words? fugeddabadit.
(just for crossy, as he hates c words too)

3:23 pm

MimiCat

Wow, I'm surprised. It's not like Canada is really a "foreign" country...at least we don't feel that way here. Just more government regulations to justify people's jobs.

3:23 pm

crosshair

actually,it is words that start with vowels that give me grief

3:25 pm

crosshair

lots of things are geared for the us market only on the net still,mimi.it is a lot better now but there was many a time when trying to order something from a u.s site it would not even recognize a postal code.you needed a zip code or you were out of luck

3:25 pm

TraderKate

the techie here at the cafe got netflix - he only had it for one month - he said he watched everything he wanted to in 30 days???? i like a lot of tvo and pbs stuff, pretty sure they don't have a bunch of that type of content.

3:25 pm

MimiCat

My internet company (Century Link) has come up with their own version of pay TV and we'll be getting it in my area in the next month or so. No dish, uses their internet equipment and can get all the channels I'm interested in for about $36 a month...can't wait.

3:26 pm

crosshair

your zip codes have 5 numbers for example 90210.our postal codes are a combination of letters and numbers for example mine is L9Y4C1

3:26 pm

TraderKate

that doesn't sound too bad mimi

3:28 pm

crosshair

yup.mired in govt regs:((

3:28 pm

MimiCat

Actually, Kate, Roku just added a PBS option directly and for free. I have found tons of things I love on Netflix streaming...for example, the entire Highlander TV series (over 100 episodes) and the entire 7 seasons of The West Wing....and no commercials. Then there are two New Zealand series I adore. I'm really happy with it.

3:28 pm

crosshair

you make me excited to get netflix,kate:)

3:28 pm

crosshair

mimi*

3:29 pm

MimiCat

Funny, crossy, I used to be called Cate years ago!

3:29 pm

crosshair

:))

3:30 pm

MimiCat

When you do get it all hooked up, crossy, I'll send you my list of favorites. Smores and I do that all the time.

3:30 pm

crosshair

first i need to get rid of my 20 year old tv set and get a nice hdtv flatscreen with an hdmi port

3:31 pm

crosshair

will be nice to have a slim,light flatscreen tv,my old 36 inch crt tube tv,you need 3 men and a donkey just to move it!

3:31 pm

MimiCat

My flatscreen is HD and I didn't need anything special for the Roku. So easy...just plug it in and then pick a code for your WiFi...hey, if I can do it, anyone can!

3:32 pm

crosshair

sounds very nice:))

3:32 pm

LeslieAnn

are the 6/7 a combo?

3:32 pm

onyx

i want another grid!

3:33 pm

MimiCat

This TV replaced one of those, crossy...my cats ate the wires at the back...lucky it wasn't on at the time. I was mad then but happy now that I was forced to replace it.

3:33 pm

crosshair

bad kitties

3:34 pm

TraderKate

i am presently watching the west wing again from the beginning... week 2. it's on vision tv 4 nights a week. enjoying it even more the second time around.
no combo leslieann

3:34 pm

crosshair

if they are still prone to doing that mimi,just go to your local auto parts store and ask for 6 feet of 1 inch wire harness tubing and you can protect your wiring with it and it costs about a dollar a foot:)

3:35 pm

MimiCat

You can't even imagine the damage they did the first year I had them. They ripped posters off the wall and then tried for the thermostat, at the wire that went to my computer speaker (sound gone), tore holes in my shower curtain...oh, the list goes on and on. They're fortunate I am able to tell myself it is the living creatures that matter and not the inanimate objects!

3:36 pm

crosshair

i have all my wiring in wire harness tubing.problem over

3:36 pm

TraderKate

or get the foul tasting stuff and put it on the cables... vets sometimes put it near a wound to keep critters from licking... makes them foam at the mouth if they lick/bite on it, very very funny ;)

3:36 pm

crosshair

i do however have to replace my shower curtain once a month

3:36 pm

MimiCat

I'm about to watch The West Wing again, too, Kate...this will be my 4th time! The writing is just so good and, of course, so is the acting.

3:36 pm

crosshair

plan on putting in sliding shower doors this year

3:37 pm

MimiCat

I have this computer barricaded in my living room with no wires accessible to them. But if I need to unplug or get to the modem, I must move furniture!

3:39 pm

TraderKate

one of my favourite shows ever. so shsarp and fast-paced... and i learned a lot about the workings of american government. just adore sheen and janney et al... what a cast! when it first ran, i watched the first episode, i almost quit - so much to take in, so many names, jobs etc.... was almost overwhelmed as was so used to much slower paced tv writrten for the lcd.....

3:39 pm

MimiCat

The brother and sister were tiny strays when I took them and at the time I was working so it was like leaving toddlers home alone for 12 hours. I thought my slightly older stray cat would teach them to be like him, but it kind of worked the other way around! Every day, I said the prayer "God, please grant me patience...NOW!"

3:40 pm

MimiCat

And, Kate, as you know, the name I go by is CJ.

3:41 pm

MimiCat

There are at least two others you should see if you can get...Hack and Life. Both excellent.

3:41 pm

TraderKate

crossy, i will have to ask yu more about roku at another time. but like you, i have an older tv. no hd or computer ports etc.

3:42 pm

MimiCat

You don't need computer ports for Roku, Kate..it uses WiFi signal.

3:42 pm

TraderKate

haven't heard of either of those shows mimi, are they british?

3:42 pm

crosshair

it is the hdmi port you will need for the roku3

3:43 pm

TraderKate

sounds like it will be an expensive proposition for me to change over atm.... internet and a new tv will be needed...

3:43 pm

crosshair

and since the 3 is so much better,it is well past time we retired our ancheint tv,s

3:44 pm

crosshair

wow.crossy mad typin skillz at work:(

3:44 pm

MimiCat

No, they're American. But I also have British series I love on Netflix.

3:44 pm

TraderKate

i have to go soon, does anyone want stats? closing in 15 minutes here

3:45 pm

crosshair

indeed kate.i can justify it by saving 90 a month on cable and 7 a month on the cable box.for you,not so much when you have free basic

3:45 pm

MimiCat

Crossy, I was just so impressed they upgraded mine to the 3 remotely at no charge.

3:45 pm

KatieMcG

Life is American and only had two series. I was gutted it wasn't renewed

3:45 pm

KatieMcG

hello everyone

3:45 pm

crosshair

in 4 months ,i will have the new tv and the roku box paid for by the cable savings

3:46 pm

crosshair

that was nice of them indeed,kate

3:46 pm

crosshair

howdy,katie

3:46 pm

TraderKate

the free basic cable is keeping me sane, but i do miss showcase if i am up late at night. adore the old ncis, house etc....
hi katie :)

3:46 pm

KatieMcG

I watched trauma and that only lasted one series. I am now starting to see if it is going to be renewed before I invest time in them lol

3:47 pm

MimiCat

I know, Katie---me, too. There's a saying with my family and friends....If Mom/CJ likes something, it will surely be discontinued!

3:47 pm

KatieMcG

I am still with Grey's Anatomy and it's about to go to the tenth season and Criminal Minds is being recorded now so I was relieved that it had also survived another season

3:47 pm

crosshair

lol,that used to happen to me,mimi,so now i just wait till a series is at least in it's 3rd year before i start watching it

3:47 pm

MimiCat

That's true not just with TV shows but also grocery items and other products...so sad.

3:48 pm

crosshair

for example i did not start watching house till they were in the third season

3:49 pm

crosshair

then i started with season one lol

3:49 pm

MimiCat

I have all of Grey's until this season loaded on my Roku. So many shows to watch....so little time!

3:49 pm

crosshair

i do want to see that Oz prison series.i hear it is good

3:50 pm

MimiCat

Oh, crossy, you will be in heaven with the Roku and Netflix...you can marathon watch a show one after another with no commercials, start to finish of entire series.

3:50 pm

crosshair

cannot wait

3:50 pm

KatieMcG

I generally laugh or cry the whole way through with hubby yelling "why do you do it to yourself". I have them all on dvd now and Mari is six seasons in - my Dad may never forgive me

3:51 pm

MimiCat

The cool thing is if you load a show and then more episodes become available, they automatically are just added on.

3:51 pm

crosshair

you can pre-load the shows?

3:51 pm

KatieMcG

I have just watched the following - I recorded it and then went on marathon sessions of it, it was fantastic and renewed "phew"

3:52 pm

MimiCat

Yep...from the Netflix site online...pull up Watch Instantly and go through and click to add to your Roku lineup. I have about 300 now...since I have no life.

3:52 pm

crosshair

lol@300.right now i watch one 1 hour or the odd time a two hour programme a night

3:53 pm

MimiCat

Oh, I LOVE The Following, Katie...but I'm not entirely sure why. Really good acting and Joe, even though he's a serial killer, is a BABE.

3:53 pm

crosshair

lol "he is a serial killer but boy is he cute!" lol

3:53 pm

KatieMcG

Mike was my babe in that :) I just thought the whole thing was so clever

3:53 pm

KatieMcG

lol crossy

3:54 pm

crosshair

all the ladies love a bad boy:(

3:54 pm

TraderKate

are they running oz again crossy??? that was a fantastic, gritty series. lots of the actors went on to bigger and batter things... violent, but all in proper context - not gratuitous

3:54 pm

crosshair

crossy is a good boy,just ask the mrs...crossy waits for the lightning to hit...

3:54 pm

MimiCat

He just has a very compelling face, crossy. And, yes, there is the bad boy aspect though he's much worse than most of us would like!

3:54 pm

cosdem

happy remembering day!

3:55 pm

KatieMcG

I love things with serial killers in it, however did have to give up with Dexter as the whole thing creeped me out too much. When you can only watch something with company and in daylight it's time to give it up.

3:55 pm

TraderKate

i likedd the following too, but i hear it will be discontinued, and golden boiy as well

3:55 pm

MimiCat

Crossy, it's kind of like the joke "Well, other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?"

3:55 pm

crosshair

lol

3:55 pm

cosdem

the following was renewed

3:55 pm

TraderKate

lol ;-)

3:56 pm

TraderKate

hi cos :)
just on my way out, see you tomorrow maybe ?

3:56 pm

MimiCat

My daughter adores Dexter...that fact made me watch her more closely.....

3:56 pm

KatieMcG

phew cosdem - I was about to double check my source, I would have gone mad if the whole thing had ended that way.

3:56 pm

MimiCat

Bye, Kate! Hugs.

3:56 pm

KatieMcG

Lol Mimi

3:57 pm

cosdem

lol dexter is great but i stopped watching it when it got way too weird.. (the sister falling in loe with the brother) ---

3:57 pm

TraderKate

dexter isn't on regular tv here, only cable stations that are a level or two up from basic. i think it's on hbo here

3:57 pm

cosdem

katie i need to catch up on that show..

3:57 pm

cosdem

dexter is only on cable here too. showtime.

3:57 pm

MimiCat

I liked Dexter at the beginning but it got boring to me. I mean, you knew what was going to happen.

3:57 pm

TraderKate

6 feet under was also a good one, that i would love to see again...

3:58 pm

cosdem

is it good? i want to see it its on netflix..

3:58 pm

KatieMcG

Hubby is a little concerned that I love snapped women who kill on the Crime channel over here

3:58 pm

MimiCat

Yes, loved that one, too...in fact, may be on Netflix...will be checking on that.

3:58 pm

TraderKate

bye until tomorrow everyone, happy memorial day babbling :) poof

3:58 pm

cosdem

oh i watched that when i had cable katie.. it was fascinating! bye kate

3:58 pm

KatieMcG

cosdem - I thought the following was both well written and acted, well worth seeing through to the end

3:58 pm

KatieMcG

Bye Kate

3:59 pm

cosdem

ok ill definitely watch it then ur the 3rd person to say that

3:59 pm

KatieMcG

litt

3:59 pm

MimiCat

I love all that crime stuff, too, Katie. I have a bunch on the Roku now....Stalked, Deadly Women.....are we warped or what?!!

3:59 pm

KatieMcG

not only is it not a word but there are no L words oops

3:59 pm

cosdem

roku.. where on the roku can u see them?

3:59 pm

cosdem

which channel on the rroku i mean

4:00 pm

cosdem

lol i tried litt too :)

4:01 pm

MimiCat

You'd have to check on Netflix or Hulu Plus, cos. Easy to add channels to the Roku. They also have Amazon.com but they like to nickle and dime you to death in addition to the $79 a year.

4:01 pm

cosdem

i have netflix and hulu plus on my roku.. ill check for them again.. didnt know it was on there

4:02 pm

MimiCat

Roku is just the conduit for Netflix and other streaming channels so you can have it on your TV. That's why it's a one-time charge with no monthly fee after that.

4:02 pm

KatieMcG

my satellite tv costs Â£62 per month!!

4:02 pm

cosdem

my friend lets me use his amazon prime for free but i can watch the same stuff on netflix or hulu...

4:02 pm

crosshair

wow

4:02 pm

cosdem

i love my roku!

4:02 pm

crosshair

well,my cable was $97.00 a month all told

4:02 pm

MimiCat

Amazon Prime does have some things Netflix doesn't.

4:02 pm

crosshair

glad it is gone

4:03 pm

cosdem

just added deadly women to my queue! thanks for letting me know!

4:04 pm

MimiCat

I filed a complaint against my cable company with the Better Business Bureau. I still have their box and I'm tempted to just toss it in the trash.

4:04 pm

cosdem

excited for tonight now lol. im warped.

4:04 pm

KatieMcG

I do have HD, movies and the sports though which is what costs the money. We have to get our broadband from a different company due to speeds which means that we pay another Â£27 a month for that, and then there is Â£11 for the phone. It would be much cheaper to be a Luddite lol

4:04 pm

crosshair

safer just to return it ,mimi:)

4:04 pm

MimiCat

Oh, cos, do you know the entire CSI Miami is available and also all the Law and Order shows?

4:05 pm

MimiCat

Both from Netflix.

4:05 pm

cosdem

yep ive been watching svu on netflix all week!

4:05 pm

crosshair

csi miami is on netflix??

4:05 pm

crosshair

my mrs will be in heaven!!

4:05 pm

cosdem

have you seen the killing? its on netflix.. i saw it on cable.. very good but very slow.. easier to watch on netflix than cable

4:06 pm

MimiCat

I'm not crazy about the other CSI shows but do like the Miami one a lot. Yes, crossy, it's on Netflix.

4:06 pm

cosdem

yep crossy

4:06 pm

crosshair

one day i hope i will be as cool as Horatio...

4:06 pm

MimiCat

Yes, I did watch The Killing and really liked it. You're right, it was slow on regular TV.

4:07 pm

cosdem

season 3 is starting june 2nd.. amc cancelled it but then changed their mind... same cops but different case

4:07 pm

MimiCat

Next winter just stand outside for a bit, crossy, and you'll be WAY cool!!

4:07 pm

crosshair

though i am told the actor himself is an a**hole

4:08 pm

MimiCat

No kidding, cos? Wow...thought it was done. Hope they load those on as well but I'll wait until the season is over to start watching.

4:09 pm

cosdem

ditto... i dont like when every show ends in a cliffhanger!

4:09 pm

cosdem

once every other weeks is good enough lol

4:09 pm

MollyL

If you all want a show that will keep you wondering from week to week, watch Scandal.

4:10 pm

MimiCat

And you do know that Netflix now has two ORIGINAL series they produced themselves....House of Cards with Kevin Space and Henlock Grove. They shoot them and release 13 episodes at one time..fabulous.

4:10 pm

cosdem

yep ive seen both! good shows.. and netflix just released a new season of arrested development yesterday

4:11 pm

cosdem

hi molly!

4:11 pm

MimiCat

Love it, Molly. I think it's already on Netflix, too.

4:11 pm

cosdem

yes it is its in my queue

4:11 pm

MimiCat

I saw that, cos....I'm just going to start watching AD from the beginning...haven't seen it at all yet.

4:12 pm

cosdem

me too mimi.. ryan loves it so im gonna watch it. ive seen the pilot and liked it.

4:12 pm

cosdem

i dont have cable so all i watch is netflix :P

4:12 pm

MimiCat

Oh, crossy, also, I'm sure you know, you can stream movies, too, through Netflix. Just loaded Braveheart to watch again.

4:12 pm

cosdem

i watch both movies and tv shows on netflix ...

4:13 pm

MimiCat

Oh, another good series is "The Finder." It did get cancelled, of course, since I like it.

4:14 pm

MollyL

I can't watch The Finder anymore. It makes me too sad that Michael Clark Duncan is gone.

4:14 pm

MimiCat

You've got to watch the two New Zealand series, cos. They are "Top of the Lake" and "Outrageous Fortune." Be prepared, though...apparently there is no censorship in New Zealand!

4:14 pm

cosdem

on netflix?

4:14 pm

cosdem

ok found them

4:15 pm

MimiCat

Elisabeth Moss stars in "Top of the Lake." She was Pres. Bartlet's youngest daughter on West Wing.

4:15 pm

cosdem

Zoey? nice!

4:15 pm

MimiCat

I know, Molly, I just adored him.

4:16 pm

cosdem

ok added both thanks!

4:16 pm

MimiCat

Isn't she also on Mad Men? For some reason, I just can't get into that show. Breaking Bad is supposed to be good, too, but I couldn't get into it either.

4:16 pm

cosdem

im the only one i know who cant get into lost

4:17 pm

cosdem

which makes me pretty sad because i wanted so badly to like it

4:17 pm

KatieMcG

I liked the finder as well, between us it was the kiss of death to the series

4:17 pm

cosdem

mmolly thanks for the update on smash! i watched a bit last night but then ryan started whining about how boring it was

4:18 pm

MimiCat

Watch Top of the Lake first, cos...it's much shorter than Fortune and very compelling with gorgeous views of New Zealand. You'll need to pay attention, though, so don't watch it while doing anything else!

4:18 pm

cosdem

ok will do.

4:19 pm

MimiCat

I couldn't get into Lost either! Hey, I'm starting to compile my "Must Watch" list for crossy, so I'll send you a copy, too, if you like. Just em me at catjdesigns@yahoo.com and I'll send it by Reply when it's done.

4:19 pm

MollyL

Breaking Bad is cutting edge TV, but it is very dark. LOST was the best thing ever put on TV.

4:20 pm

MimiCat

I think Lost is now on Netflix, too, so maybe I'll try again. My daughter loved that show, too.

4:21 pm

cosdem

yes lost is in my queue and has been there forever.. ill get around to it.. have to force myself to sit thru.. im sure itllgrow on me

4:21 pm

cosdem

ryan lovs breaking bad. its also in my queue, and sons of anarchy

4:21 pm

MollyL

Cos, I sent you another email

4:21 pm

cosdem

ok will check

4:22 pm

MimiCat

Most of the shows I have on while I'm doing other things on my computer. Otherwise, I'd never get around to them all.

4:22 pm

cosdem

same here mimi.. its mostly backrground visual for me.. so i dont feel alone

4:23 pm

MimiCat

Ooooh, also love Waking the Dead...you'll really like that one.

4:23 pm

cosdem

waking the dead is in my queue i think

4:23 pm

KatieMcG

right I'm off to bed, I only have 3 days at work this week so I had better look a little enthusiastic :) Night all, see you soon

4:23 pm

MollyL

Breaking Bad seems very popular in your age group Cos. My sons literally forced me to watch it.

4:23 pm

MimiCat

Night, Katie!

4:23 pm

MollyL

Bye Katie

4:24 pm

cosdem

the problem with breaking bad is its about meth

4:24 pm

Marc Freeman

Could I get the stats for the 6, please?

4:24 pm

MimiCat

Breaking Bad was too dark for me, you're right, Molly. Funny...I like shows about serial killers but BB is too dark!

4:24 pm

cosdem

--- its very hard for me to watch movies about that stuff considering my past

4:25 pm

MimiCat

I'm right there with 'ya, cos...same reason.

4:25 pm

cosdem

so limited doses of these kind of movies... u know? not too much or ill start getting flashbacks

4:27 pm

MimiCat

The Guardian is good also...at least there are 67 eps of that before cancelling.

4:28 pm

Marc Freeman

Stats for the 6, please?

4:28 pm

cosdem

a friend just recommended Annika Bengtzon: Crime Reporter

4:29 pm

cosdem

dont hae it yet sorry marc

4:29 pm

Marc Freeman

No problem

4:29 pm

MimiCat

I'll check it out. So now we have you all set for a couple of nights of good TV watching, cos!

4:30 pm

cosdem

thanks! about to watch deadly women aftre judge judy

4:30 pm

MollyL

to6/27

4:32 pm

MimiCat

I've totally had it with this grid...makes me feel stupid. So, calling it quits and moving on. Oh, also, cos, there are lots of good concerts on Netflix streaming as well...just enter Music in their search engine, I think. Though my taste and yours may be quite different...I'm loving Earth, Wind and Fire and Simply Red a lot and many others probably before your time.

4:32 pm

MollyL

I love this time of year. Barbecued food and fresh corn on the cob.

4:32 pm

cosdem

any of them subtitled?

4:33 pm

cosdem

so jealous molly.. no bbq for us this year :( poophead has to work

4:33 pm

Marc Freeman

Thanks Molly now I have to go find it.

4:33 pm

MimiCat

I don't think so.

4:45 pm

cosdem

4:45 pm

crosshair

crosshair

4:56 pm

cosdem

joe brown was cancelled. lol

4:56 pm

cosdem

oh id love to see that cross!

4:56 pm

MimiCat

Judge Alex has a great sense of humor and he's not as heavy-handed as some of the others. He used to be a cop.

4:57 pm

crosshair

you have to wade through you tube to find it.it was a 2 hour show with 48 hours or 60 minutes or one of those programmes.very,very interesting

4:57 pm

cosdem

hes the tall one right?

4:57 pm

cosdem

ok ill see if i can find it via google

4:58 pm

MimiCat

4:58 pm

cosdem

yeah we dont get him here either. i forgot about him

4:59 pm

MimiCat

OK---really am going now. Hugs again!

4:59 pm

crosshair
