4:16 am

lynxxx

doesn't sound good...guess it will be desk duties for you for a while

4:19 am

4:20 am

lynxxx

you are obviously a more practical people person

4:24 am

grannyrose

lyn, not my idea of fun to track patients from May 2012. i really love my normal job. one on one care, and developing a rapport with my patient.

4:25 am

lynxxx

I can tell - me, I'd the one behind the desk making sense of all the paperwork

4:26 am

bichon

It's been very cool here. Saturday it didn't get out of the 40's with rain

6:14 am

rubyfoo

here, too, most days it hasn't gotten to 50. The weeds love it, but the flowers are all really late and we probably won't have much fruit

6:15 am

bichon

we either have cold weather or hot and humid. Yesterday was perfect though

6:16 am

rubyfoo

when the sun comes out (rarely) I rush out and do a little gardening

4:46 pm

zoozzoom

*poof*

4:47 pm

Cathyar

Buster is part Shih-tzu, part Lhasa Apso, we believe.

4:47 pm

bichon

There's so much to see in Oxford with only two days.

4:47 pm

bichon

He's adorable. Mine have always been Bichons. It was fun having a different breed in our house for a couple of months

4:49 pm

Cathyar

bichon's are gorgeous dogs too.

4:49 pm

bichon

They are, and it takes a lot to keep them looking that way

4:50 pm

Cathyar

Same with Buster...at LEAST twice a day brushing.

4:50 pm

bichon

se 7, a hint pls

4:50 pm

Cathyar

the double coat matts easily

4:51 pm

MollyL

You have a 55 minute se7 with your shrink.

Cathyar

Bichon and I were just discussing our dogs. Is yours (in your icon) a yellow lab?

4:56 pm

Marc Freeman

io6, please?

4:57 pm

bichon

Your salt might be io

4:58 pm

stidgmere

Murphy is a white lab but officially he is a yellow lab. He comes from one of those established families with more recessive genes than is legal and still can claim worthy ancestors.

4:58 pm

Cathyar

he's beautiful. my son's fave are labs.

4:59 pm

stidgmere

ty. He is as kind a dog as I've ever known. He has become the companion we were needing.

72 Temple Owl

hello all

5:24 pm

lynxxx

Morning TOwl

5:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey l yn

5:25 pm

lynxxx

I do like yourt icon

5:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

i see Aus has been declared the happiest nation in the world.

5:26 pm

lynxxx

heard that too this morning, it is a pretty good life for most people here

5:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

seems to be.

5:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am here tyring to ge tthe last 10 words. pretty easy rid so far.

5:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

i need to think about dinner as well. too lazy to make something but anything easy = high calories

5:29 pm

lynxxx

I'm still at 20 but not seeing the easy words easily

5:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am watching the news. our weather is going deadly crazy again. tough spring here.

5:33 pm

lynxxx

more tornados?

5:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, a hazard of spring in the plains states. but also floods. and deadly heat coming

5:34 pm

lynxxx

trust you have no climate change skeptics left

5:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, i myself don'tknow, lyn. after all. averages have very high and very low data points.

5:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

some years are just bad. others pass with little incident.

5:39 pm

MollyL

What kind of deadly heat TO? We only have 90's predicted here.

5:39 pm

lynxxx

I understand, we had a mild summer here - but we still broke records even though it was mild. Things are changing. Not as much rain/water around. And weather indicators are going wacky - even the previously pretty predictable El Nino has changed to an erratic unpredictable course...and that has major effect on our climate...and I assume South America as well as the US

5:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think that is deadly so early with 5 days predicted. at least in cities

5:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

and hello, molly.

5:41 pm

lynxxx

Growing emphasis on coping with heat here too. I guess when you are younger you don'y worry as much and can cope but for the elderley it can be a killer

5:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

or perhaps just to fools like us going to the outdoor crawfish festival this weekend. :)

5:41 pm

lynxxx

sorry about the spelling

5:41 pm

MollyL

Should be steamy at the crawfish festival. Wear something flimsy. : )

5:42 pm

Good Enough

I have lost all faith in the seasons. It used to be you knew how to dress each day. "it's May. It will be cool in the morning and then warm up. Dress in layers." Now its more like who the hell knows, wear everything and plan on changing later.

5:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh, i wish i could. :)

5:42 pm

MollyL

That is exactly my plan GE : )

5:42 pm

lynxxx

hi Good Enough

5:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi good

5:44 pm

lynxxx

Getting a bit cheesed off....Carpet Cleaner guy didn't come yeasterday in the allocated time and I had to change to this morning ...he now an hour late.

5:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

don't fret, it's only YOUR TIME :/

5:45 pm

lynxxx

and my house is all packed up looking like I am moving - very uncomfortable. Stew is very confused

5:45 pm

lynxxx

true TOwl - lol

5:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

are you beginning to resemble your icon?

5:49 pm

lynxxx

past that now - I'll have to find a 'grrr' one

5:50 pm

uusue2

5:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:51 pm

5:53 pm

MollyL

5:53 pm

5:54 pm

jmcnrick

i will done next tuesday

5:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:54 pm

jmcnrick

5:55 pm

lynxxx

5:55 pm

MollyL

5:55 pm

uusue2

thanks, TO! It was a very nice, very small wedding, just what I wanted.

5:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, mlly, will you join us?

5:56 pm

jmcnrick

it looks like a nice time uu

5:56 pm

MollyL

Alas, I will not be doing any two-step or Louisiana stomp for a while. Knee injury. Minor, but a huge inconvenience.

5:57 pm

uusue2

It was, jmc! My dad was a little taken aback when I told him (afterwards), but we'll have a big party/reception later in the summer when we all feel up to it.

5:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

ooh, sorry

5:57 pm

uusue2

oh, bummer, molly! Knees are a nuisance.

5:57 pm

MollyL

Sue will Dad be able to come for the party?

5:57 pm

jmcnrick

too bad molls. . .

5:58 pm

uusue2

probably not, Molly, but we will go out to visit him

5:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok, break to forage for dinner. happy babblin, bbs

5:58 pm

lynxxx

by Owl

5:58 pm

uusue2

he's talked about driving out here but I've tried to discourage him - it's 800 miles and he's 92, after all...

5:58 pm

uusue2

bye, TO!

5:58 pm

jmcnrick

party?

5:59 pm

MollyL

It would be great if you could find someone who would drive him.

5:59 pm

jmcnrick

where is he uu?

5:59 pm

uusue2

Frank and my celebration, jmc, which I have been promising everyone who didn't come to the wedding, which is everyong

5:59 pm

jmcnrick

nice. . .when is that?

6:00 pm

uusue2

he's in New Jersey, and I don't think he'd like to ride with anyone. He's very stubborn and set in his ways; if he's in the car he wants to be driving it.

6:00 pm

jmcnrick

i understand that!

6:00 pm

uusue2

we haven't scheduled it yet, probably July or August. It will depend on how fast Frank bounces back from the chemo, which will be done a week from tomorrow YAY!!!

6:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh good news

6:01 pm

jmcnrick

and there i was thinking i could drive him over and have a good time myself.

6:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

je 's ready for a road trip.

6:02 pm

lynxxx

I bet you could talk him into it jmc if anyone could

6:02 pm

jmcnrick

yay for frank! and remember to fold at home . .

6:02 pm

uusue2

haha, well, I will be sure to let all Babblers know when it is, and you would all be welcome, but I don't think he'd ride with anyone. We'll go to him; we've got a trip planned east for November anyway.

6:02 pm

jmcnrick

yeah i am hardly traveling at all right now. . . haha

6:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

I'll take that bet. i like the odds.

6:02 pm

uusue2

and yes, my computer is folding as we speak!!

6:03 pm

jmcnrick

saving money on gasoline wouldn't encourage him?

6:04 pm

uusue2

*math grumble* so how come Enable accepts the hyperbolic sine but not any of the other hyperbolic functions? Sheesh.

6:04 pm

jmcnrick

it takes cosine

6:04 pm

uusue2

No, at his age I don't think he worries about gas, and he likes to ride in big gas-guzzling cars - he has a van. He would not like to ride in my car, it is too small.

6:05 pm

uusue2

I know, jmc, I was referring to words like cosh (which it takes for a different reason) and tanh (which it doesn't take)

6:05 pm

jmcnrick

my mother liked my leather bucket seats. . . .lots of leg room and good gas mileage

6:06 pm

jmcnrick

but she hated getting in and out of it. . .

6:06 pm

uusue2

he just doesn't like anything smaller than a minivan

6:07 pm

jmcnrick

well it was a thought. . .

6:07 pm

uusue2

anyway, fireworks!

6:07 pm

lynxxx

Yay for Sue

6:07 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hoo uu!

6:07 pm

uusue2

and I really do appreciate all the suggestions - I think he'd be just as happy if we were to come visit him at this point, I don't think two days in the car holds much appeal for him any more

6:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

wtg due!

6:08 pm

uusue2

he might take the train, though...

6:08 pm

jmcnrick

800 miles is only one day! haha

6:08 pm

MollyL

Amtrak has nice sleeper compartments.

6:08 pm

lynxxx

just call jmc leadfoot

6:09 pm

uusue2

Yes, and I could pick him up in Chicago, which is really only about an hour away

6:09 pm

jmcnrick

giggle. . . i just don't stop much. . .

6:09 pm

jmcnrick

i never drive more than 10 mph over the speed limit! *innocent look*

6:09 pm

MollyL

*Wonders if JMC has those diapers the astronaut lady wore*

6:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

o.O

6:10 pm

jmcnrick

nope that is cheating molls. . .

6:10 pm

jmcnrick

but there are some highways where i know every reststop!

6:10 pm

uusue2

He would want to stop every couple of hours and walk around (and use the facilities, and whatnot). And he can be very stubborn (of course, I didn't inherit that at all!!)

6:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

*cues up little feat's "willin"

6:11 pm

jmcnrick

my car pooling friend to indiana is like that. . . still most of the way at 80 mph that is only 10 hours. . .

6:11 pm

MollyL

6:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:12 pm

MollyL

I wish I had 100 dollars for every time I sang that song in college, after many, many beers.

6:13 pm

uusue2

I do too, jmc! (And I've been from Tuscon to Tucumcari too, used to live in New Mexico...)

6:13 pm

jmcnrick

72 Temple Owl

but molls, then you would be haning with the jet setters and we would never have met you! ;)

6:51 pm

MollyL

I'll never be hanging with the jet setters. Any sizable money I come into is getting rolled into a non-profit I want to start. And a nice house by a lake.

6:54 pm

K.Elisabet

We're not the jet set, we're the ol' chevrolet set...

6:54 pm

Hi all :)

7:04 pm

Lizlin

Glad to see you singing again, Molly :)

7:07 pm

Lizlin

Where are those last 4 words hiding????

7:08 pm

MollyL

Oh I'm always singing. : )

7:08 pm

Lizlin

Good!

7:09 pm

MollyL

The good Lord blessed me with some high powered vocal chords. Singing is my way of saying thank you.

7:10 pm

Lizlin

Lucky you!

7:11 pm

torgone

She's got a Rock n' Roll Heart ..

7:11 pm

Lizlin

Grrrr! 1 x4, 1 x 5 and 1 x 6 - at least I show no favouritism to any particular word length!

7:12 pm

Lizlin

Heart doesn't always translate into voice!

7:13 pm

MollyL

Sure it does. It doesn't matter how well you sing, just that you sing. : )

7:13 pm

torgone

I know .. I got the heart but no pipes ..

7:13 pm

Lizlin

I sing - the room empties! Doesn't stop me though!

7:13 pm

Lizlin

Usually the room's empty first!!! LOL

7:14 pm

Lizlin

Love driving along singing to my old rock favs!

7:15 pm

MollyL

I love this quote, but sorry I don't know the author...
In many shamanic societies, if you came to a person complaining
of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one
of four questions:
When did you stop dancing?
When did you stop singing?
When did you stop being enchanted by stories?
When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence?

7:16 pm

Lizlin

Found the 4!!!

7:16 pm

Lizlin

Good quote

7:16 pm

MollyL

Yay for Liz!

7:18 pm

Lizlin

Fireworks - silly last 2 words ri 5 / 6

7:19 pm

Lizlin

Less silly having looked up the meaning.

7:20 pm

MollyL

We are not all up on our Sanskrit. : )

7:20 pm

Lizlin

Exactly!

7:21 pm

Lizlin

Really like that quote - having just reread it with a bit more concentration!

7:21 pm

MollyL

I like it because it speaks to the childlike joy people so often lose.

7:22 pm

Trifioso

hello again friends

7:23 pm

Nef - hit the forward button now or refresh.

8:23 pm

Nef

Hi Jacula; how are you (haven'tseen you for a while!)

8:23 pm

Jacula

Hi Nef. I've been around, just not always in the chog.

8:24 pm

Jacula

Bit busy with home renovations at the moment.

8:24 pm

Bugsaw

hi Nef and Jacula. good to see old friends again

8:24 pm

Jacula

Hi Bug.

8:24 pm

Bugsaw

what kind of renos Jac?

8:26 pm

Jacula

Oh Bug, you know the kind of thing... you get a new oven& hob that is double the width of your old one, you need to move things around to fit it in and then you need to clear things out and redecorate. Having done one room, that makes the others look dreary and so you brighten up the next and the next... lol

8:26 pm

Jacula

Anyone need any grid clues?

8:27 pm

Bugsaw

I bot an old house and do renos one room at a time. Over 20 years every room has been done once so now I am back at the kitchen. ;)

8:27 pm

Bugsaw

I would appreciate any 7 word. I only have 1

8:27 pm

Jacula

Just over 30 years in this house and I am back at the kitchen again, too.

Jacula

Let me know if you need clues for the ones you don't have.

8:31 pm

Bugsaw

72 Temple Owl

8:36 pm

Bugsaw

hi TO

8:36 pm

dan2bit

hey TO!

8:36 pm

Jacula

Actually, it's only been 15 years since most of the house was totally refurbished, roof included, but things need brightening up, and the bathroom suite (avocado) is over 30 years old and most definitely needs replacing.

8:36 pm

Jacula

Hi TO.xx

8:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

xx to you, jacs! :D

8:37 pm

Bugsaw

oooh avocado toilet is not a good picture

8:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am excited; festival season in full swing beginning this coming weekend. lots of music and dancing and fun.

8:38 pm

Jacula

TO - I've found a si4/4 on FB that I think you mioght like. Check out Word of The Day.

8:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

does in 7 use an existing word?

8:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

thank you, jacs

8:38 pm

Shirlockc

i was in a 70's built condo which had not had any work, and they had a shag brown carpet + brown toilet and brown sink

8:39 pm

Jacula

Bug - I'll have you know coloured bathroom suites, avocado in particular, were all the rage in the 70s.

8:40 pm

Jacula

in7/28 - sort of uses an existing word. in + vowel + place a builder might want to buy to build something on.

8:40 pm

Bugsaw

I remember avocado in the kitchen but in the 70s I was poor and renting old fashioned places that only had white bathrooms. We thot we were hard done by

8:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

i toured an open house last year with a powder room with black fixtures and mauve rugs

8:40 pm

Jacula

White bathrooms are all the rage now, Bug. lol

8:41 pm

Jacula

Pity we took out the old white suite back in the 70s.

8:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

perfect! i am going back to a spa look bathrom replacing almond with white

8:41 pm

Bugsaw

Yes I just redid our bathroom in white and it feels so clean

8:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

perfect was meant for your clue jacs, ty

8:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

will do white with light colored travertine if i can.

8:42 pm

Bugsaw

ty for the in7

8:42 pm

rururocks

as long as you don't let people have tortilla chips in your bathroom Jac

8:42 pm

Jacula

y/w re the clues, TO.

8:42 pm

Shirlockc

fi7?

8:43 pm

bookwomen

fi 7 is fi 5 pluraled

8:44 pm

Shirlockc

didn't know you can plu that word

8:44 pm

Shirlockc

thx book

8:44 pm

Jacula

Shirlock - fi7/40 is a sort of plural of the word that you see at the end of an Italian film. Comes from the Latin and Old English word for a word for 'end'.

8:44 pm

Bugsaw

I remeber knowing a rich contractor who built his family an enormous house in the 70s and the bathroom was done with red fixtures. We were all envious until she described bathtub rings on red....

8:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

i wish to protest, officially, the no6/7 combo, as well as the non acceptance of "ionite". for the fifth time today.

8:45 pm

rururocks

some rich people have like zero taste

8:45 pm

Bugsaw

ain't that the truth ruru

8:45 pm

dan2bit

also, I want to lobby for rissoto as an acceptable alt. spelling

8:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

spell it howeveryou lke, it's still mushy rice to me :P

8:46 pm

Jacula

I wanted a dark blue bathroom like my best friend had (but not the square toilet - my bum isn't square and it felt weird sitting on a square seat!), or maybe a burgundy suite. However, our water is hard and makes limescale, and I knew I didn't fancy washing every water splash off the moment it happened in order to avoid white marks on a dark suite.

8:46 pm

rururocks

yeah and only 10,000 calories

8:46 pm

dan2bit

mrs2bit made my fave last night, with grilled chicken and red peppers. nom nom nom

8:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

that sounds lovely. i have been having issues with food boredom. i began buying organic chicken and have overcome my chicken aversion. what a difference!

8:48 pm

rururocks

i've never seen a square ass

8:48 pm

Jacula

TO - when I make chicken risotto, I use American long grain rice. No mush! Nice meal.

8:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

i thought arborio was de rigeur

8:48 pm

Jacula

I see square toilets are back in fashion again now. All I can say is 'WHY?'

8:49 pm

rururocks

although I've try-angled around one :D

8:49 pm

dan2bit

in7 anybody?

8:49 pm

Bugsaw

I don't think they are in fashion here Jac

8:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have not seen that trend, jacs

8:49 pm

Jacula

TO - I adapt recipes to suit my taste and bugger what anyone else thinks.

8:50 pm

Bugsaw

clued at 8:40 dan

8:50 pm

Jacula

I just clued in7, dan.

8:50 pm

rururocks

maybe they're for rectuangles

8:50 pm

rururocks

rectumangles

8:50 pm

Jacula

Dan - in7/28 - sort of uses an existing word. in + vowel + place a builder might want to buy to build something on.

8:50 pm

dan2bit

chat flew by too quick - tx Jac and all cluers, firewords

8:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, nice and peaceful here, think i will go read. happy babbling.

8:51 pm

rururocks

<---blew his own joke

8:51 pm

Jacula

lol, ruru

8:51 pm

Jacula

Happy reading, TO. What are you reading at the moment?

8:52 pm

Bugsaw

nice to see you again TO

8:54 pm

Jacula

ruru - did you perhaps mean rectoangles? Or perhaps rectumangles? I like the second word best

8:54 pm

rururocks

rectumangles

8:54 pm

rururocks

a play on rectangles

8:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry, i got booted. let me see... just finished "bel Canto" and now have "The Blind Assasin" by margaret atwood

8:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

loved bel canto except for the ending/epilog

8:56 pm

MollyL

I've never seen a square loo
I never hope to see one
But I can tell you anyhoo
I'd rather see than be one

8:56 pm

Jacula

Not read that Patchett book, but you're certainly into murder and mystery.

8:56 pm

Jacula

Hello Molly. Indeed, yes. lol

8:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

hmm, i don't think patchet was either and as for atwood, the handmaid's tale was more like speculative fiction, don't you think?

8:57 pm

Jacula

ruru - yes rectumangles is a very good new word.

8:57 pm

rururocks

what about a heart shaped seat?

8:58 pm

rururocks

*bets Dolly Parton has one*

8:59 pm

Jacula

Well, ruru, a heart-shaped seat would probably fit most female backsides very well. Cardiobuttock seat, perchance? Can't call it a loveseat 'cos that's something else.

8:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

okey dokey, night everyone.

8:59 pm

Jacula

'Night TO. See you soon, maybe on the Word a Day thing.

9:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok jacs. ditto

9:01 pm

MollyL

*Thinks of the two-seater love toilet from Saturday Night Live. For couples who just can't stand to be apart, no matter what.*

9:01 pm

rururocks

ewwwwwwwwwwwwww

9:02 pm

Jacula

I wish I as an he7/32 (so long as someone I knew and loved didn't die for me to be so). I could afford to totally renovate my house all in one go then AND pay people to do it.

9:04 pm

Jacula

Molly - the family toilet seat isn't a new thing. In fact, in the shared yard toilets here in UK, there would be up to 4 holes in the piece of wood above the earth (sewer) pit. At least one would be smaller for a child. Men would crap together whilst reading the newspaper or whatever.

9:05 pm

rururocks

okay.. time to change the subject.. kitties anyone?

9:06 pm

Jacula

That totally goes against what most animals do... you are vulnerable whilst crapping and so need to find a secluded place. Which is what we all do now.

9:06 pm

MollyL

Lovely weather we're having, isn't it?

9:07 pm

rururocks

LOL yes.. very pleasant

9:07 pm

Jacula

LOL, ruru - kitties? Yes, my cat has suddenly decided to start using my raised borders, that have been there, unplanted for the past 3 years due to cold summers, as a toilet.

9:07 pm

rururocks

our neighbors cat likes to come over here to do his biz too

9:07 pm

Jacula

We're not having lovely weather! We get a boiling hot day and then the temperature plummets and the wind blows like a winter gale. It's playing havoc with my plants.

9:08 pm

Jacula

Boiling hot sunshine one day and hail showers the next.

9:09 pm

rururocks

I'm tempted to leave a number of little baggies on their front porch

9:09 pm

rururocks

isn't that England's normal pattern jac.. never know what's going to happen?

9:10 pm

Jacula

I don't blame you, ruru. But, the thing is, cats rarely crap in their own garden... until they get old or ill.

9:11 pm

Jacula

What does pee me off is dog owners who let their dog do it's business right in the middle of my front drive or even on my lawn and just leave it there.

9:11 pm

rururocks

well one of these days he's heading home with a cork in his ass. I have plenty of them around here

9:12 pm

rururocks

*blocks all PETA calls on telephone*

9:12 pm

Jacula

ruru - Normal weather patterns are out of the window for the world now, not just UK. And these weather patterns are unusual even for here. The Gulf Stream isn't where it should be and so is screwing the weather up worldwide.

9:13 pm

MollyL

The trick is, to scoop up the dog mess and follow the dog owner home and then place said mess in a very lovely place on THEIR property.

9:13 pm

Jacula

True, Molly, if you have the time or can be bothered.

9:13 pm

rururocks

I wish more people would do that

9:14 pm

jmcnrick

I just run out and ask if they need a baggy . . . they always have one and then scoop it up having been caught

9:14 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

9:14 pm

Jacula

Hi jmc. How are you?

9:14 pm

MollyL

I'm liking the cork thing...a lot.

9:14 pm

jmcnrick

i am okay jac how's about yourself?

9:15 pm

jmcnrick

haha peta tried to hire me as an attorney and i turned them down. . .

9:15 pm

Jacula

jmc - Last time I did that (asking if the dog owner wanted a bag to scoop it up in), I was subjected to weeks of abuse, as were my (young at the time) children.

9:15 pm

rururocks

I don't think so

9:18 pm

MollyL

Oh great. Now I have the crab walking down the steps scene playing in my head. : O

9:18 pm

Jacula

gap - ot6.18 means being at leisure or being useless.

9:18 pm

jmcnrick

never saw the exocist. . . but often point out the stairs from the movie. . .one of my boy's friends rode is bicycle down them. . . when he got to the bottom they all agreed it was a bad idea. . .

9:18 pm

rururocks

means leisurely doesn't it?

9:18 pm

gapeach

I had a neighbor who daily walked her mutt to my yard and let him poop....now I asked her nicely at first and then not so nicely....then I found out she owned an AK47 so I said oh well. And so he pooped and I tried to keep my mouth shut.

9:19 pm

stidmama

oh -- being at leisure! LOL hm. looks like an earache word. *sigh*

Prison Guard to Peach's neighbor.. "what are you in for"... Prisoner: my dog pooped and someone gave me shit about it

9:21 pm

It's illegal to FedEx a lot of things. That has never stopped me before. : D

Jillyjill

Or one that works with it daily...*heavy sigh*

9:28 pm

o-o

stercoraceous

9:28 pm

rururocks

I can't comment on that

9:29 pm

Jillyjill

And then there are all the latin terms....

9:29 pm
