1:08 am

flosey

hi rose and thanks

1:12 am

grannyrose

are you kidding, pugs? i have had the loveliest day in a long time. the sun is shining, we have a gentle breeze blowing. when i opened the back door this morning the gorgeous perfume from my cecil brunner rose wafted in.

1:12 am

flosey

oh how lovely rose

1:12 am

puglet

sounds peacefull and relaxing

1:13 am

grannyrose

then following doctor's orders, i went outside and played in my garden for a few hours. have planted out nearly all the gladioli bulbs. in the ground and in pots.

1:14 am

puglet

So glad you have had such a beautiful day for yourself

1:14 am

flosey

it will be beautiful, rose

1:14 am

grannyrose

and all the miniature roses i planted in mother mac's window baskets are covered in buds, just in time for her return home next monday.

1:15 am

puglet

oh that will be nice. Are they all the same color

1:15 am

flosey

ah, she'll be very pleased

1:15 am

grannyrose

it was the best time in ever so long...i thought i had missed the opportunity to plant the bulbs.

1:16 am

grannyrose

oh, no, pugs. they are apple blossom pink, red, golden yellow, and white with a pink edge.

1:16 am

puglet

sounds very lovely!

1:18 am

grannyrose

and my other rose have gone ballistic. i am training two climbers over a new garden arch. one has pale yellow and cream flowers, the size og a large grapefruit, and the other is a scented pink, with a creamy centre

1:18 am

puglet

Is your soil mostly sand?

1:18 am

grannyrose

read *roses*

1:18 am

grannyrose

no, it's clayish. and the roses love it.

1:19 am

flosey

sounds lovely rose

1:19 am

puglet

I bet that will be pretty! You have a bench under the arch to sit out and enjoy the beauty

1:19 am

grannyrose

i hope the weather continues like this for the next few days. the forecast is pretty good until monday.

1:20 am

puglet

I hope so too for your sake

1:20 am

flosey

well, just monkeyed gl6/36, strange word

1:21 am

grannyrose

no pugs, as that would not allow me to reach my gardening shed...yes, dear, i have a garden shed, as does DH.

1:22 am

grannyrose

*giggle* flosey, another scots word, mean quick, keen

1:23 am

rururocks

A his and hers garden shed set?

1:23 am

flosey

ah, thanks rose

1:23 am

grannyrose

his is further from the house, and every now and again he has to get the mower out and mow a path to it..

1:24 am

grannyrose

and i can't hide in mine...too many creepy crawlies in it.

1:25 am

flosey

lol rose, sounds like the path to our kitchen garden

1:25 am

puglet

You can fixed that by a good cleaning--LOL

1:26 am

rururocks

I am afraid of sheds

1:27 am

flosey

there is always the possibility of running into a snake in that pathway

1:27 am

rururocks

Especially behind them

1:27 am

puglet

Why is that Ru(though I hate to ask)

1:27 am

grannyrose

eeek, pugs said the cl word. and did i say no window? i would be in the dark in there...like a shitaki mushroom.

1:27 am

grannyrose

flosey, i do hope you stamp your feet when using the path...

1:28 am

puglet

How in the world then do you get anything out of it?

1:28 am

jwr

hi Rose - what were you doing inside a mushroom? Did you fall down a rabbit hole?

1:29 am

flosey

I don't go alone, rose

1:29 am

grannyrose

oh, pugs...why, oh why, do you have to open pandora's box?

1:29 am

rururocks

Granny in Wonderland

1:29 am

grannyrose

ROFLOL...jwr. hello, dear

1:29 am

flosey

a scream would be out of my mouth before I could think - can just see the neighbours all running to see what happened

1:30 am

grannyrose

pugs, with gloves on.which, i might add, go all the way to my elbows.

1:31 am

puglet

for myself I like cleaning the barn and shed and I dont mind a snake to keep the mice down and whats a tiny little spider?

1:31 am

jwr

hi all (and bye, just in case I have to do my usual quick "out" ) Ah, I've caught up now. I just love a little whimsy with my horror.

1:31 am

grannyrose

well if it's black with a red bit on the back, it's time for the spray.

1:31 am

puglet

HI and bye jwr

1:32 am

flosey

we have only garter snakes

1:32 am

grannyrose

oh, no, flosey, the mind pictures that conjures up.lolol

1:32 am

puglet

Those are harmless Flosey

1:33 am

flosey

I know pugs, and I've tried - but they always startle me

1:33 am

puglet

and if I might add, the spiders do catch insects too

1:33 am

jwr

ty pug - I'll take it as written. Of course, as soon as I said my pre-farewells, I'll probably have lots of time to play. ... "harmless" is a rational word; fears are not usually born of rationality.

1:33 am

jillibus

poor harmless little garter snakes would probably faint away at flosey's screams

1:33 am

flosey

I wish, jilli

1:34 am

puglet

I dont like them sneaking up on me but if I know they are there I dont mind them

1:34 am

flosey

but they are good for the garden - so I just stay put and let them do there good

1:34 am

grannyrose

flosey, try walking along a well-defined path, and find a red-bellied black snake in front of your feet. fortunately i was well trained by my dad.

1:35 am

jwr

I'm with Jilli -- only problem is you have to do a taxonomic recognition of the snake first!

1:35 am

grannyrose

lol, jilli. i know huntsman spiders do not like my screams.

1:35 am

flosey

I can't, rose - I simply can't

1:35 am

jwr

... unless you were trained by rose's dad

1:36 am

rururocks

Primal fear of snakes here

1:36 am

grannyrose

even DH was impressed...no screaming, i just stopped in my tracks and let the blighter slither it's way into the grasses beside the path.

1:36 am

puglet

Walking the creek there are snakes in the water all the time and sometimes they will be upon a rock or log sunbathing

1:38 am

rururocks

Imagines pug applying ban de soliel to snakes

1:38 am

grannyrose

mind you, DH had to pick me up and carry me to the car. i was unconscious by then...

1:38 am

puglet

lol Rose

1:39 am

grannyrose

lol, ruru...only you would think of something like that

1:39 am

jwr

cycling from one Indian village to another (o so many years ago), a baby cobra got hung up in the spokes. Couldn't get off without touching it; had to ride one-legged for a good half-mile.

1:39 am

puglet

:) Ruru

1:40 am

flosey

oh jwr, dread just to think of it

1:40 am

puglet

I could just see rose on that trip--lol

1:40 am

grannyrose

roflol, jwr. and i can tell you...you CAN drive a car from the passenger seat, including a three-point turn....when there is a huntsman spider sitting on the driver's door.

1:41 am

rururocks

What's a huntsman spider

1:41 am

flosey

wow rose, good thing there wasn't a cop nearby

1:42 am

grannyrose

like a tarantula, but not as poisonous.

1:42 am

puglet

I have a fear of roaches--yuckiest bug in the world

1:42 am

jwr

wow, rose, did you? I still think about it once n a while - not because of the ride but the aftermath: when I came close enough to be seen, the whole village came out to laugh.

1:43 am

grannyrose

huntsman's have a very painful bite. and yes, jwr, i did. i screamed the whole time, too.

1:44 am

puglet

are they colorful like a tarantula too

1:44 am

jwr

Uh ... pug, I think you've driven me back to the grid -- I shall glance over once in a while to check out the nouns.

1:44 am

grannyrose

not one continuous scream, but several, pausing to take next breath

1:45 am

grannyrose

pugs, google them.

1:45 am

jwr

and good for you, rose.

1:46 am

puglet

okay Rose I will

1:46 am

flosey

your rose garden sounds so lovely, rose

1:46 am

jwr

Of course, if a cop stopped you, you could always point at the thing and say "He was driving, officer!"

1:46 am

jillibus

60 left and time for beddybye -- farewell all...*poof

1:46 am

puglet

1:47 am

1:54 am

puglet

well most weeds has flowers too

1:54 am

flosey

any plants you can think of rose - just not those other occasional inhabitants

1:54 am

puglet

I read where weeds help hold moisture for other plants

1:54 am

grannyrose

*giggle* and the one i encourage to grow is forget-me-nots. i so love 'em

1:55 am

puglet

Oh I like those too! I always plant some every spring

1:55 am

1:56 am

puglet

2:33 am

sprite

puglet

2:35 am

2:48 am

Hope the weather's going to be good on the island for Don!

2:48 am

Lizlin

I wish you could all share my life - doesn't mean I haven't had hard times but nothing to be too dramatic about.! And it is good now.

2:48 am

joso

I must admit toes do take a back seat to tim and a child molester

2:48 am

grannyrose

forecast says yes, until monday, when he is heading for home.

2:49 am

Lizlin

It's been trying to rain up here but nothing substantial - I know we could do with it and NSW too.

2:49 am

sprite

but at least you have something to get along for the ride, joso ;)

2:50 am

puglet

guys I just cant understand my neice :(----It breaks my heart she has chosen this road to travel

2:50 am

Lizlin

Are you going to get together with mates Rose or just enjoy time to yourself?

2:51 am

sprite

I can imagine, pug. Seems she really needs to experience life from the bad side.

2:51 am

Lizlin

People make their own choices Pugs and sometimes listen to advice but often think they know best :(

2:51 am

grannyrose

liz, hoping to lunch and watch the race with a friend from church on sunday. she is a motorcycle nut, also.

2:51 am

sprite

as long as you send her home before babble, rose

2:52 am

Lizlin

Hope you make it - and sprite beat me to the next comment!

2:52 am

joso

I hope your molester turns out to be one of those things where an 18 year old was dating a 16 year old pug, not one of those creeps that hang around playgrounds, good that you have means to find out more pug.

2:52 am

puglet

or you could invite her to join us Rose

2:52 am

sprite

a 16 yo pug... wow

2:52 am

grannyrose

i might not be conscious, sprite. lashed out and bought myself some jim beam and cola cans today.

2:53 am

Lizlin

I'd leave the cola alone!

2:53 am

puglet

I think he was 18 or 19 and the girl was like 12

2:53 am

sprite

lol rose!

2:54 am

Lizlin

Not condoning it but was she consenting?

2:54 am

joso

yeach, not so good

2:54 am

puglet

Liz I dont know---I dont know him that well

2:54 am

sprite

at 12 there is no way she could consent to anything with a guy of 18. That is pressure.

2:55 am

puglet

But before I carry tales Iam going to find out

2:55 am

puglet

I do know he spent a few years in prison for it

2:55 am

Lizlin

Sometimes girls that age THINK they're in love. That's what I mean. Flattery etc. That's why I wasn't condoning. it doesn't change what he did!

2:56 am

Lizlin

Nasty little grid!

2:56 am

sprite

no, I get your meaning, Liz. She may have thought it a very grown-up thing to do and something that would make him love her better. But still.

2:56 am

grannyrose

oh, just heard from DH. he has had a great day. * sigh * i hope the weather holds.

2:56 am

sprite

A-freakin'-men to that, Liz!

2:57 am

joso

good that it was a she and graydon a he, I'm with liz, an 18 year old should know better, but if force applied is worse still.

2:57 am

Lizlin

Absolutely! But it's much easier for him if she's conned by the flattery!

2:57 am

sprite

ah good, rose. You missing him already?

2:57 am

Lizlin

That's good Rose :)

2:57 am

puglet

I know too that he was not to be with any underage girls and the first one he got involved with was, so to me it says hes not learnt his leason at all

2:58 am

grannyrose

not really, sprite..maybe tomorrow??

2:58 am

sprite

hehehe yeah, perhaps tomorrow, hun. So nice when they are having a good time and you know your time alone is safe, isn't it :D

2:58 am

Lizlin

I don't think that they can change that much Pugs. If they need that feeling of power - I'm not sure that counselling can change that. But I've not had experience so don't really know.

2:59 am

sprite

Gradyn is lucky to have you looking out for him, pug

2:59 am

Lizlin

I hate being apart from my hubby :(

2:59 am

Lizlin

Very true sprite. Lucky gradyn.

2:59 am

grannyrose

abso- bl***y-lutely, sprite

3:00 am

grannyrose

liz, i love him dearly...but i have no time utterly alone...and at heart i am a loner. happy in my own company.

3:00 am

Lizlin

Sorry about using the gi 4 word but I guess in a serious conversation ...

3:00 am

puglet

the news came to me from a third party so I must find out the truth before opening my mouth. But it came from a reliable sorce

3:01 am

joso

I read back a bit, Surprised rose is such a girly girl about spiders and snakes

3:01 am

Lizlin

I know you love him Rose - can tell by the tone of what you say!

3:01 am

sprite

heck yes, don't worry about it. We will continue our babble party in the PB together.

3:01 am

Lizlin

I left that conversation alone Joso - why on earth did I move to Aus with the way I feel about those things?

3:01 am

Lizlin

Sensible Pugs :)

3:02 am

joso

I think you are doing the right thing pug, information can only help you here

3:02 am

puglet

Joso how far did you have to walk

3:03 am

sprite

wouldn't mind the spiders and snakes. But I don't think I could handle the heat you have overthere!

3:03 am

grannyrose

ummm, joso, i can handle daddy-long-legs...said to be the most poisonous spiders around...but anything like tarantulas, huntsmen...YUCK!!!!

3:04 am

puglet

do you guys have those fireants there too :(

3:04 am

joso

I don't really know, lots of busses, subway, streetcar with short and long walks between, was a nice day for it though.

3:04 am

Lizlin

It's not too bad here - don't get the extremes that Melbourne does. And on the really hot sweaty days, use the air con.

3:04 am

Lizlin

Yes Pugs there are fireants in my area - haven't seen them though but have seen warning posters.

3:04 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah...old adage...you don't like melbourne weather...wait 5 minutes...

3:05 am

3:05 am

grannyrose

3:06 am

puglet

when I worked in Florida picking oranges I got into a nest of those and it wasent pleasent at all

3:06 am

joso

what would have been 3 hours of errands with car was all day without.

3:06 am

grannyrose

and the bull ants? their jaws are so strong you can use them like sutures on an open wound.

3:07 am

Lizlin

I repeat, why did I come and live in Aus?

3:07 am

puglet

what are jumping jacks? A type of ant

3:07 am

grannyrose

roflol...liz, i'll play your silly game...why did you?

3:08 am

Lizlin

No I wasn't playing a game :) I really hate all the creepies and those that crawl. I go for a walk and continually look around for Joe Blakes!

3:08 am

grannyrose

yes, pugs. and they jump AT you, even when you are moving away.

3:09 am

puglet

Where did you live Liz before going to Aus

3:09 am

Lizlin

But I do love life here apart from that and I've only seen 3 snakes in 5 years - so not too bad!

3:09 am

Lizlin

I'm from London, Pugs.

3:10 am

3:10 am

grannyrose

Lizlin

3:11 am

grannyrose

3:11 am

joso

At a sci fi convention I was chatting up a girl in the bar. She was very well endowed, so to speak, so i must admit my eyes drifted off her face from time to time. I had a fair excuse because she this elaborate spider broach, and convention people love to have their paraphernalia admired. all was going well untill her broach moved, her pet tarantula freaked me right out.

3:12 am

Lizlin

Totally freaky!

3:12 am

grannyrose

agghhhh, joso. omg!!!!

3:12 am

puglet

thats too funny! wish I could of seen your face then

3:13 am

grannyrose

3:13 am

puglet

I bet that got your eyes off the twins!

3:14 am

Lizlin

A well earned nickname I'd guess.

3:14 am

3:14 am

grannyrose

LOLOL, liz

3:14 am

3:18 am

sprite

but you know what guys say to that, don't you?

3:19 am

joso

Never got together liz, if that is what you are asking, the opportunity was there I think, but the idea of her pet roaming around the room put me off. After that initial meeting she was just someone interesting I looked forward to reconnecting with at cons.

3:19 am

Lizlin

Tell us.

3:19 am

sprite

that even if they take a cab once in a while, it doesn't mean they sell their own car.

3:19 am

Lizlin

Only joking Joso - can well understand why that pet would be very off putting!

3:20 am

grannyrose

oh yeah...did i ever tell you about DHs buck's night? his brother-in law took him to a lap-dancing bar...he came home so h***y...i could only say thanx...lolol

4:03 am

from what I have seen, ruby's husband can't handle not being in control. Must scare him badly to be deteriorating and being confused all the time.

4:05 am

rubyfoo

and he can't help me (and realizes it) with the REAL problems, so I'm basically onmy own

4:07 am

sprite

yeah, that must be horrible too for him. And for you. So stressful.

4:09 am

joso

so you are managing a tough situating, so far anyway, but you are getting ground down from having to deal with it day after day?

4:10 am

rubyfoo

several tough situations, joso, and there's no end in sight

4:10 am

I am curious ... just look around at stuff

4:32 am

puglet

do you write some yourself

4:32 am

sprite

I like the icon. Came across some 'rules for life' and one of them was: "What people think of you is none of your business." Am keeping that in mind atm.

4:32 am

o-o

at times

4:32 am

joso

here is Ad Astra's web site if you want more of an idea at to what cons are about. http://tinyurl.com/k5hgyqf

4:33 am

sprite

oh nice, joso. I have read about them, but never went to one. I have the feeling the dutch ones are too small scale.

4:33 am

puglet

me too Sprite and what he has on his blog. I wouldnt know a false babbler, I dont think

4:34 am

sprite

all I can say is I have believed in a few of them, so I am gullible. Still better than jaded, grin.

4:34 am

joso

being a published author you would get a free pass sprite, if you agreed to speak at some panels.

4:35 am

sprite

wow that would be fun, joso. I went to one of the fantasy fairs here once and spoke there and was in one panel. Quite an experience. Had a lot of fun there. Didn't sell squad though, lol.

4:37 am

joso

without english translations I doubt you would sell much here either, but i bet the 'european point of view' would be well met.

4:38 am

sprite

I so need to get them translated. And now that I finally have the energy, I don't have the texts, lol. Still no luck getting my backup back up.

4:39 am

joso

oy, that must be very fustrating

4:39 am

sprite

it is. I am still kicking myself for not burning it all on CDs as well.

4:40 am

puglet

was your book a si-fi

4:40 am

sprite

no, fantasy, pug. Am not smart enough for sci-fi, grin.

4:41 am

joso

I don't know that you would sell enough to pay for the trip in any case sprite, something to think about including if you are coming for some other reason.

4:41 am

sprite

joso, you have inspired me. I will let this idea simmer and grow into a plan.

4:41 am

puglet

oh I bet you are, dont sell yourself short

4:41 am

joso

sf and fantasy are both honored at cons, some horror too.

4:42 am

sprite

nah. Sci-fi needs to be real good in technical sense as well. And I am definitely not a beta. Just reread some of Peter Hamilton... now that is sci-fi. Awesome.

4:43 am

joso

england has an active convection life too, that would be a bit easier to manage.

4:43 am

joso

hamilton is awsome

4:43 am

sprite

it would be really really fun to do something like that.

4:44 am

puglet

we might even see you on tv sometime

4:44 am

sprite

he is, isn't he! I read those books about the world after global warming reached its peak... so realistic and scary, and also so... right. Life will go on, indeed, and people will have to adapt. Amazing.

4:45 am

puglet

what name do you write under

4:45 am

joso

the news tends to show the customers most.

4:45 am

sprite

lol pug, don't hold your breath, hun. I am small chance in the book world. Real small chance.

4:45 am

sprite

change*

4:45 am

sprite

pug: cass van dijk, my real name.

4:46 am

sprite

van dijk is a very very common dutch name, so it is as good as an alias and easier :)

4:46 am

joso

small change i think you mean

4:46 am

puglet

Iam looking forward to seeing it out on the shelves

4:46 am

sprite

yes, that is what I meant, joso

4:48 am

puglet

you will become so famous you wont know us--lol

4:49 am

sprite

yeah, sure, pug, that would be me, lololol. Well, I'll never be famous. And if I would be, I would be happy because it would mean I'd have enough money to visit you all :)

4:50 am

puglet

Its surprising what catches on to people--a good example is green eggs and ham--lol

4:50 am

joso

found one comment lamenting your books not likely to be translated

4:51 am

sprite

aw that is nice. Yes, I would have to do it myself. And I think my english is about good enough for that now. As long as I had a critical proofreader to tell me where it doesn't sound ok.

4:52 am

sprite

oh but Dr Seuss is brilliant.

4:52 am

joso

I can read, what do I have to do to be a critical proof reader?

4:52 am

puglet

he is but who would think such a story would become so big?

4:53 am

sprite

joso: a good sense of language, mostly. To know where my translation sounds like a translation, and to know how a native speaker would say it.

4:53 am

puglet

You got all of us to proofread! And you know Rose, she would be awsome at it

4:54 am

puglet

yeah, Joso would be great at it too

4:54 am

sprite

you are making me all enthusiastic, to be honest. Now how to get that backup back to life... I might ask a neighbour. Her son studied something computery.

4:54 am

joso

happy to do it if you want. we could do a chapter and you could tell me if you like the results

4:55 am

sprite

joso, it is a deal! Thank you :D

4:55 am

joso

where is the backup?

4:55 am

puglet

its all up to you Sprite. No better time then in the now

4:55 am

sprite

it is on an external hard drive. When the computer crashed, the drive crashed too. Hence my original and my backup gone at once.

4:56 am

joso

there are specialist who can get it for you

4:56 am

sprite

but I am told the data will still be on the drive. It is just not accessible. We tried putting it into the computer itself. That didn't work.

4:57 am

sprite

yeah I know, joso, but it will cost me around 400 euro and I simply don't have that kind of money.

4:57 am

joso

but the neighbors kid may be good enough, worth a try

4:58 am

sprite

yes, I think I am gonna be bold and ask him. He can say no if he doesn't want to do it. Can't hurt to ask.

4:58 am

puglet

how is that equall to our money

4:58 am

joso

best speaker we ever had was a european, terry pratchet

4:58 am

puglet

No it wont hurt

4:58 am

joso

600 dollars, ish

4:59 am

sprite

almost 600 usd, pug

4:59 am

sprite

oh, I like terry pratchett! Very good writer.

5:03 am

joso

at the con brunch he spoke about going for a walk in the woods with his 5 year old son and encountering some medieval reenactors and how his son took it all for granted, had the whole room in stitches.

5:03 am

sprite

awww that is priceless

5:03 am

sprite

5:04 am

9:00 am

zoozzoom

Thats the same with the xbox360, Scrabs, So annoying.

9:00 am

Scrabbler

I checked andand "it is not supported" by my Nook. It is 2 years old. I think current Nooks have Flash Player.

And xbox will not allow you to dowload adobe flash either.

I was focusing on the ASUS MeMo Pad. $149 or so. I panic when I spend large amounts of money, so while I would LOVE a 10-inch tablet it is a lot of money.

9:09 am

hego

they are costly.

9:09 am

hego

you should ask Crossy.

9:09 am

A Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10 inch is $359. I will consider that too.

I've only used it once or twice. Not sure what their issue is today. Their website is not cooperating with me.

What a chimera, then, is man! what a novelty, what a monster, what a chaos, what a subject of contradiction, what a prodigy! A judge of all things, feeble worm of the earth, depositary of the truth, cloaca of uncertainty and error, the glory and the shame of the universe! ~Blaise Pascal

Hey, ruby

11:32 am

bichon

hi ruby

11:32 am

rubyfoo

hi bzzn and judi and urSH

11:33 am

rubyfoo

and bichon! I think of yu every time I go out and see more bichons. I think they are popular here because almost no one has large dogs and bichons are small dogs with lions' hearts!

11:34 am

Judi

We had a bichon mix in our police department this a.m. His human mommy had a medical emergency, so the officer brought her here until a family member could pick her up. She was cute as a button and sweet as pie.

11:34 am

Judi

*her* human mommy.

11:35 am

bichon

That's what Bichons are know for

11:35 am

rubyfoo

that is ery nice; I doubt that the police here would do that

11:35 am

zTink

Judi. try Valpak.com

11:36 am

Judi

Oh my gosh. We love animals. We need a mascot here, but my co-secretary is allergic. *FROWNS*

11:36 am

rubyfoo

maybe if you get a large, hairy cat, she'll qut and you can have a mascot

11:37 am

Judi

Huh?

11:37 am

bichon

Then she would like Bichons, they are hypo-allergenic

11:37 am

rubyfoo

or dog

11:37 am

rubyfoo

are they really?

11:37 am

Judi

Nah. She's not allergic to bichons. She actually has a labradoodle. Go figure.

11:38 am

rubyfoo

she sounds like a pita

11:38 am

bichon

Labradoodles, may or may not shed as they are a cross-breed

11:38 am

Judi

Well, we are a police department, so we need a more macho dog. Curly, soft, fluffy and white simply will not do for the men and women in blue.

11:38 am

rubyfoo

when we were still working, we used to bring first Rosie, then Rufus, to the office

11:39 am

rubyfoo

you need a chow chow then: fluffy and very pretty, but scary-ooking

11:39 am

Judi

Nah. Too furry. Has to be low maintenance.

11:40 am

rubyfoo

def not a chw then

11:40 am

Judi

Some day... when there's no allergies to worry about.

11:43 am

bichon

Bichon coats are very challenging as they don't shed. I spend a lot of time brushing

11:44 am

Judi

This little one had curly fur - soft as cotton.

11:46 am

bichon

Before about 9 months, the coat is soft like cotton, but then it really starts to curl. They need to have haircuts and brushing to keep the coat from getting tangly

11:46 am

BzznBea

Finally! Finished with those G's.

11:46 am

Judi

She was very well groomed.

11:47 am

Thanks Molls. Joso, A work colleague rather unkindly described it as a 'menopausal ladies car''. It's called an Accent over here, probably goes by a different name over there. Nothing flash.... Just a regular sLoon.

Molly, I'm absolutely disgusted at the Breaking Bad official merchandise store. I ordered 2 x 'Have An A1 Day' air fresheners. I was assured they would be mailed bt Sept 22. To date - nada! I'm very annoyed.

4:57 pm

MollyL

In my opinion, people who define you by what kind of car you drive are shallow end of the pool types.

4:58 pm

MollyL

I didn't know there was an official store. I got my son a Breaking Bad t-shirt from Amazon.

5:02 pm

Soodle

Been there, done that..... Got the T shirt! :-)

5:05 pm

As you know, my poor old Dad's in hospital. The TV in his room is wonky. I took in a portable dvd player to him today, with the Breaking Bad box set. I hope that he will be a fan soon. :-)

i went out with a guy who saw my old car and lectured me that i should get an acura. the nerve!

ooh sorry about your dad. i did not know

5:07 pm

Rows

haha

5:07 pm

Rows

i don't even have a car

5:08 pm

crazy to me that people care about what kind of car you have

5:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

he was a bore anyway

5:10 pm

MollyL

I'm curious to hear what someone your Dad's age thinks of Breaking Bad.

5:11 pm

Soodle

Once upon a time, in a life far far away, makes, models & types of cars mattered to me. Nowadays, if I have a vehicle that gets me from point A to poin B, I'm content.
