ext of se 6 - calm, sedate state
12:39 am

ok, will get my monkeys on it
12:39 am
cybernan
sure fire way to get rid of lice and nits -- give the hair a perm and they are chemically fried
12:39 am
jbp
oohhhhmmm, thanks Dee
12:40 am
jbp
ditto for hair color. but it's not great for the hair or the scalp
12:41 am
ursh
hmm nan dont think 6 - 10 - 11 and 14yr olds will accept having a perm :))
12:41 am
cybernan
they'd love a new hair colour though!
12:42 am
rururocks
10 to go
12:42 am
ursh
haha imagine the parents if i send them home with a different hair colour - but then again could choose a colour close to their natural !!
12:43 am
jbp
ruru! ruru! ruru!
12:43 am
cybernan
just roll hair and apply solution - don't neutralize, but shampoo 3 or 4 times and hair will remain straight ( either that or just comb perm solution through the hair, let it sit for 20 minutes, comb through neutralizer and rinse_
12:43 am
jbp
I'm stopping w/ 75 left. Have a splendid eve/morn where ever you are...........

hi pug
12:50 am

I would think just 10 minutes with the perm solution would do the trick (will take out any natural wave though) and they should use a really good conditioner afterwards -- morocco oil, maybe.

Public Health here says all you have to do to kill the lice is slather the hair with conditioner and leave it on long enough to suffocate the bugs. Still have to comb the eggs tho

2:17 am

along with all the lovely cold desserts and pics pugs has sent me...yes thanx. we have moved into the aircon. rooms which were the MIL's. they are now our bed-sit, dressing room, and bathroom.
2:19 am

2:19 am

alas, the psychotic canary is now right outside our bedroom door. and doesn't he know it!!
2:19 am

2:22 am

*giggle* pugs... a turkey?? my goodness!
2:22 am
jillibus
well, pugs, as a forner Montrealer, you have my sympathy but I remember going skiing at -25 F and survivng.
2:23 am
jillibus
that was minus 25, i.e. 25 below zero Fahrenheit.
2:24 am
puglet
Iam sure you were very well dressed for it, Jilli, werent you
2:25 am
puglet
Rose, have you ever been in cold temps like that
2:25 am
jillibus
oh yes, but my feet got frost-bitten on the ski-boots, ouch.

go ahead, pug
2:28 am
puglet
I feel like a million dollars this morning--LOL and how are you Liz
2:28 am
Lizlin
Wonderful thanks - sitting here with red dye on my hair!!
2:29 am
Lizlin
Glad you're feeling good today, pugs :)
2:29 am
puglet
Danes that are born white are they prone to blindness and deafness like boxers
2:29 am
puglet
like the bright red punk dye? lol
2:30 am
jillibus
yes, pug
2:30 am
Lizlin
Could be but hopefully not - I dye my hair a copper red colour - blond highlights.
2:30 am
puglet
thank you, I was just wondering
2:30 am
jillibus
sounds nice, liz :-)
2:31 am
Lizlin
It's been this sort of colour for years!
2:32 am
puglet
is red your natural color Liz
2:32 am
grannyrose
g'day liz
2:32 am
Lizlin
Hi Rose :)
2:32 am
jillibus
why, pug? White Danes come from harlequin breeding, the genetics of which have recently become understood, and now it should be easier for ethical breeders to avoid producing them.
2:33 am
Lizlin
My natural hair used to be very dark brown - with quite a bit of red in it. Nothing like that now though - started going grey in my 30s!
2:33 am
jillibus
So you're auburn, liz? Lovely colour.
2:34 am
puglet
I just seen some White Danes and having white boxers in the pass with those problems I was just wondering if they were effected by those birth defects
2:34 am
jillibus
where did you see white
d
2:34 am
Lizlin
It fades really quickly in the sun here though :(
2:35 am
puglet
on the computer here of pics of great danes
2:35 am
puglet
I think it was under bing images
2:36 am
jillibus
oh -- well, some of them may have a black spot or two, so may not be affected.
2:36 am
Lizlin

Haven't listed yet.
2:37 am
jillibus
in7 & 8 and en the same
2:37 am
Lizlin
Thanks Jilli - I'll get looking!
2:38 am
Lizlin
Well, that was easier than expected - though I'd never have tried that word with an in beginning!
2:38 am
puglet
I know with the boxers many breeders put white pups down for those reasons
2:38 am
jillibus
same here, liz
2:41 am
Lizlin
I think it helped that I had the word it builds on.

4:13 am
sprite
:) Your knowledge of Yiddish will help, I think
4:14 am

maybe, but that is a very thin knowledge, just the loving words my mother used, e.g. shayna madelah (sp?) -- no idea of the spelling, but I can he** her voice

4:35 am

I am well - we have just started another run of stinking hot days (except for tomorrow) - the only good thing is that the temperature is dropping down at nights. I don't handle heat well - my face and neck dry up really very badly a couple of weeks ago

Kind of makes me long for my days working at the wildlife park and the zoos.
6:06 am

How sad am I? I can he4 Hermione in Werewolf mode from Harry Potter!
6:07 am
MimiCat
Not a bad thing, Liz...LOVE all things Harry Potter and especially crazy about Hermione.
6:08 am
Lizlin
Also love Harry Potter - loved the books before the films. HP was responsible for a number of reluctant boy readers to begin reading!
6:08 am
MimiCat
Really grew attached to Luna as well. And Alan Rickman...well, he's a genius. He was the BEST part of Kevin Costner's Robin Hood movie...so hysterically funny in that.
6:08 am
Lizlin
I adore Alan Rickman's voice - very sexy!
6:10 am
MimiCat
Oh, yes, I agree. I find him fascinating. He was also delightfully bad in Die Hard.
6:10 am
crosshair
My beloveds heart still goes pitty-pat over Sean Connery's voice
6:11 am
MimiCat
Sean Connery---pardon me while I swoon. The one who really got to me the most was Adrian Paul from The Highlander series...have them all on Netflix....first thing I added when I got the Roku.
6:12 am
Lizlin
Good actor - loved him in Highlander!
6:12 am
MimiCat
So, who do you swoon over, crossy...besides your beloved?
6:12 am
Lizlin
OK Mimi - other similarities!!!
6:12 am
crosshair
"I will cut his heart out with a spoon!!!" "why a spoon milord?" "because it will hurt more!!"
6:13 am

my wifes latest fling is with Linclon from Prison break
6:13 am
Lizlin
But what about you???
6:13 am
crosshair
crossy? swoon? well...
6:13 am
MimiCat
Don't have a clue why but a few nights ago I dreamed I was married to Hugh Jackman...and he was not kind to me...my mind is very weird, even sleeping.
6:14 am
crosshair
Kylie Minogue does has a cute tushie..man.. you could crack eggs on that thing.. lol
6:14 am
Lizlin
It's his steel bones, Mimi!
6:14 am
Lizlin
Probably not steel but can't remember what metal it was. X-Men of course!
6:14 am
MimiCat
At least you live on the same continent!
6:15 am
MimiCat
Loved him in Les Miserables...and, wow, did Anne Hathaway do a great job in that!
6:16 am
Lizlin
Don't think he lives in Aus any more.
6:16 am
Lizlin
Yes I enjoyed Les Mis.
6:16 am
rubyfoo
I thought Hugh Jackman was gay....lol
6:17 am
MimiCat
I think they still have their house there but also live here...not sure.
6:17 am
rubyfoo
my faves are Idri Elba and Viggo Mortensen, tlk about od taste....
6:17 am

Hi Ruby - hugs

6:18 am

No, Ruby--he's quite hetero. Remember when we used to say all the good ones were married? Now we say many of the good ones are gay! (They probably were then, too, but hid it.)
6:18 am
crosshair
problem with the female actresses I used to droll over is that enough time has gone by that now they have all had so many face lifts or lip plumps, they look like a deer caught in the headlights that have the lips of a carp
6:18 am

Hi, Annie!

Aging is not kind to most women. Not fair. As men age they become distinguished...we become hags.
6:19 am
Anniebrook
I saw hugh jackman on broadway, he was marvelous and talked to the audience afterwards
6:19 am
rubyfoo
I haven't seen that but he was great as a Russian Gangster in one movie and in the History of Violence. Also, I spotted him as a teenager in The Witness. Small part and I think he was a teenager
6:20 am
crosshair
I have this wonderful salt and pepper thing going mimi:)) crossy gains ten iq points every month:)) all the 25 year old hotties in class come to me for help..think it is a daddy complex myself lol
6:20 am
MimiCat
Oh, yes,Viggo made the blood warm in LOTR!!
6:20 am
rubyfoo
My sister saw Hugh Jackman on Broadway and "fell in love" I guess it's the Lipton Tea commercial that made me think that when he dances to "You could be dancing"
6:20 am
Lizlin
Just googled him in Witness - i'd never noticed him there before but seeing the pic .. so obvious!
6:21 am
rubyfoo
but Idris Elba!!! Small part in The Big C and magniqifique in Luther
6:21 am
MimiCat
And he was in that movie with Gwyneth Paltrow and Michael Douglas...cannot remember the title but had to do with murder.
6:22 am
MimiCat
Loved Luther, ruby.
6:22 am

6:24 am
rubyfoo

6:24 am
crosshair
it does indeed:)
6:24 am
Lizlin
Saw her on a chat show not so long ago - very plastic!
6:25 am
MimiCat
Nope...just one season, ruby...maybe they'll get the rest later. Am totally loving Australian TV shows now, though.
6:25 am
crosshair
Fay Dunaway?? she still roaming the earth? lol
6:25 am
Lizlin
Really Mimi - which?
6:25 am
MimiCat
She kind of looks like she did in the makeup for when she played Joan Crawford.
6:26 am
Lizlin
The only Aussie shows we've really enjoyed are the Underbelly series.
6:26 am
rubyfoo
and her teeth! If they do a remake of Jaws, she could star
6:26 am

If any actress aged badly, it was Bette Davis
6:26 am

6:27 am

6:28 am

And New Zealand did an excellent job on Top of the Lake..I've watched it a couple of times. Beautiful scenery in that one.
6:28 am
rubyfoo
we get most series after one or two years. Did they run The Americans in the US?
6:29 am
Lizlin
I think I enjoyed Top of the Lake more than my hubby - because of this, we never saw the whole series :(
6:29 am
MimiCat
It's available on DVD, ruby, but not on streaming.
6:30 am

You should watch it all by yourself, then, Liz...very powerful at the end.

I seen where Crossy says they are going to stop supporting windows xp, this is what I have and what does that mean for me
7:22 am
puglet
Hi ib and congrats
7:23 am
Anniebrook
I have windows xp also
7:23 am
lbdawger
basically it means you wont get any more updates or patches to fix your operating system.
7:24 am
puglet
do you know what that means Annie
7:24 am
lbdawger
hiya bzzz
7:24 am
puglet
so our computers will no longer work
7:24 am
Anniebrook
pugs, I am computer illiterate
7:24 am
puglet
me too Annie
7:25 am
Anniebrook
Will we still be able to use windows xp without a problem?
7:25 am
lbdawger
it means MS is trying to push businesses into going to 8. which means new works for everyone
7:25 am
BzznBea
They will work, pug. You just won't be able to update xp.
7:26 am
puglet
how important is that
7:26 am
Anniebrook
Bea, will I still be able to send and receive emails?
7:26 am
lbdawger
you'll be able to use it up to a point, where nothing wants to work with the XP system. which may not be too long considereing XP is 3 generations behind what is being used now.
7:26 am
crosshair
you will be able to use it(make sure you have service pack 3 downloaded) but as problems crop up in the future, your ownly recourse would be to sys restore or wide the os clean and re-install with a saved copy with sp 3 slipstreamed into it
7:26 am
crosshair
or wipe*
7:26 am
Anniebrook
crossy, in english please
7:27 am
crosshair
you may be able to carry on for a surprisingly long time
7:27 am
puglet
so we need new computers then
7:27 am
crosshair
but I advise win 7 sooner than later
7:27 am
Anniebrook
thanks, that's english
7:27 am
Uneaixoise
i.e. keep an IT guy in your pocket
7:27 am
crosshair
no,not new computers, a new os
7:28 am
crosshair
unless your coputer is over the 8 year mark I would say
7:28 am
puglet
I already get I need to up date browser and cant
7:28 am
lbdawger
skip vista! do not use Vista!! VISTA is pooh!
7:28 am
crosshair
computer*
7:28 am
puglet

7:28 am
crosshair
STAY AWAY FROM VISTA!
7:28 am
Anniebrook
what is a good operating system
7:28 am
puglet
then what do we ask for
7:28 am
crosshair
you can ask for a builders copy of win 7 and computer store for around 80 dollars
7:29 am
Uneaixoise
have win 7 on laptop but xp on old tower
7:29 am
Anniebrook
I will have to get my sil to do this for me
7:29 am
crosshair
just tell them you and your son put a rig together over the weekend
7:29 am
MollyL
I found Windows 8 annoying to learn. Too many unnecessary changes. 8.1 isn't much better.
7:29 am
crosshair
I do not like 8
7:29 am
lbdawger
shop around, for an upgrade for windows. for those who will have to have someone else build or replace their system,
7:30 am
lbdawger
I'm not excited about 8. I have to teach on it in a couple weeks. :(
7:30 am
crosshair
win 7 is the way to go for sure
7:30 am
puglet
is there a windows 7 xp
7:30 am
crosshair
well,off to classes for me. tc all and happy babbling
7:30 am
crosshair
no there is not,puglet...real poink!
7:30 am
puglet
thanks Crossy
7:31 am
lbdawger
I wish they would have left 8 alone for tablets and laptops. they sux for pc's
7:31 am
puglet
thanks everyone for all the imfo
7:31 am
lbdawger
you learn a lot in babbleland
7:32 am
MollyL
What I don't get about 8 is, why design a tablet format for PC's and laptops?
7:32 am
puglet
when we change to 7, will we lose everything we have on xp
7:33 am
BzznBea
I never understood that either, Molly.
7:33 am
MollyL
The most bone headed thing they did with 8 is the revamp of the Start menu.
7:35 am
lbdawger
I think the trend then was to be more mobile, and touch screens were the rave. what they didn't consider was us older users who aren't as mobile and into all the touchy stuff.
7:35 am
72 Temple Owl
hello and does anyone run 8.1?
7:35 am
MollyL
Well said LBD. Like I want fingerprints all over my computer screen.
7:35 am
lbdawger
7 is mostly a bunch of extra bells and whistles. you soon learn to ignore them, as they are not as intrusive as once believed.
7:36 am
MollyL
I run 8.1 TO
7:36 am
72 Temple Owl
did that restore the start menu? i am computer shoppin
7:36 am
BzznBea
Fingerprints on the computer screen....<shudder>
7:37 am
72 Temple Owl
i shudder in sympathy
7:37 am
MollyL
It changed the Start menu. But it still doesn't pop up from the Windows icon in the bottom left of the screen like it has for years in Windows.
7:37 am
lbdawger
what becomes expensive is replacing other programs to use on the new os. office suite, can run up into a couple hundred.
7:38 am
72 Temple Owl
i run xp and it is kaput. started as a bad product
7:38 am
MollyL
Back in simpler times, computers CAME with Office Suite
7:38 am
lbdawger
lots of patchwork for xp, but they got the bugs worked out primarily for business applications. which in turn, worked out for the home user.
7:39 am
lbdawger
they come with 60 day usage of it now, Molly
7:39 am
72 Temple Owl
i bought the latest in june 2011 and dell tells me it will runfine on a new pc
7:39 am
72 Temple Owl
sorry, make that 2012.
7:40 am
72 Temple Owl
i thought most come with office student
7:41 am
lbdawger
I haven't bought a student program in forever. I usually buy a home use or professional, depending on who's paying for it! lol
7:42 am
72 Temple Owl
i've never worked with student and don't know how it differs from regular ms suite
7:42 am
o-o
If done correctly, pug, you can save what you currently have and reinstall with the new operating system. My suggestion is for you to call your computer manufacturer to see if the manufacturer will help you. If not, places like Best Buy might be able to help you. It may turn out getting a newer computer might be the most viable and transferring what you want to save to the new one. It would be helpful if a friend or relative is a available to translate what might have trouble understanding.
7:42 am
lbdawger
I'd have to ask one of my students to see if they got suite for free, but I rather doubt it, as MS wants to make money!!
7:43 am
72 Temple Owl
my laptop is circa 2008/0
7:43 am
lbdawger
Don't go to Best Buy unless you personally know the Technicians. They are a rip off, especially if you appear to be a novice.
7:44 am
lbdawger
bbl, time for brekkies
7:44 am
Anniebrook
This is very confusing
7:44 am
puglet
thank you OO, I will start exploring ---I dont want to lose my babble membership-
7:45 am
Anniebrook
Will we still be able to open Babble on the old system?
7:46 am
puglet
I dont have anyone to help me so I will have to call my computer fix-it man
7:47 am
o-o
At least for the time being, Annie.
7:47 am
puglet
Annie do you have anyone to ask for help
7:48 am
Anniebrook
I think my sil but he lives in Conn. and I really dont want to bother him
7:48 am
puglet
I think Crossy said this is happening in April sometime
7:48 am
o-o
pug, if sprite will agree, perhaps you she and the fix-it guy can do a three way call.
7:49 am
Anniebrook
Yes, he did.
7:49 am
72 Temple Owl
what is happening in april? i came in in the middle of this
7:49 am
puglet
thats a good ideal OO----thanks
7:50 am
Anniebrook
Owl, that Microsoft will not support windows xp anymore starting in april
7:50 am
Anniebrook
that;s all I know
7:51 am
puglet
what gets me is trying to find someone thats trustworthy and not just out for a buck and I know so little is this area
7:51 am
72 Temple Owl
i don't think they support it now. i've missed updates that are no loner available. this is why i am laptop shopping. and i do beleive dell makes non touch models
7:52 am
72 Temple Owl
pug,that is a problem. are you trying to hang on to your old hardware?
7:52 am
Anniebrook
Owl, I am also
7:52 am
puglet
OO, do you have xp or up to date computer
7:53 am
puglet
well Owl its more like I need to save up the money to up grade
7:53 am
72 Temple Owl
dell will tell you what you need no obligation. but just buying new will solve many problems for the casual user.
7:53 am
72 Temple Owl
i see, pug. it is not cheap
7:55 am
puglet
I know---I may have to break down and sell my saddle and horse cart--lol (but its not really funny)
7:55 am
o-o
I have Windows 7 Ultimate ... I am leery of Windows 8 and 8.1
7:55 am
MollyL
You can get a new laptop for what you will end up paying for computer tech fees and new software. As long as you are not a gamer that requires the expensive bells and whistles.
7:57 am
puglet
I think my computer is a windows 96 xp so it is old and I got it used a few years ago
7:58 am
o-o
pug, some companies sell refurbished computers that have been restored to almost new at considerable savings. Just a thought.
7:59 am
72 Temple Owl
if you live near a university you an often pick up used cheap
8:00 am
o-o
I paid $150 for a computer I used for three years.
8:00 am
72 Temple Owl
also via overnment aenies who lease them
8:00 am
puglet
Okay, OO--Iam just going to have to do some studing and learn what I can and call to get some ideals and so on-----did you get it over the internet OO
8:02 am
o-o
pug, Molly makes a good point. My thought was to give you some options so you can do what works best for you.
8:02 am
o-o
Overstock.com
8:04 am
puglet
okay OO and thanks to you and the others that have helped too. At my computer store, they do sell computers and laptops that they have redone that people have traded in
8:06 am
puglet
one more question, are there different types of 7's
8:06 am
o-o
Yes, three version ... Ultimate is the costliest but most functional
8:08 am
o-o
Depends what you use your computer for .. windows 7 home edition may be fine for your needs
8:10 am
puglet
I just mainly play here.Fb and a couple of other places. I dont bank or anything like that from my computer
8:10 am
o-o
I was wrong: Windows 7, a major release of the Microsoft Windows, is available in six different editions (Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate). Only Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate are widely available at retailers.
8:11 am
puglet
is the professional simular to xp
8:12 am
o-o
More advanced, pug.
8:13 am
puglet
so its more like the middle ground then
8:14 am
puglet
I dont have any extras(like scanner or printer or cameras that needs to be hooked up
8:15 am
o-o
Like with any different operating system, takes some time to get familiar to it. I think Home Premium would work for you ... make sure anything get includes service packs to update and correct problems with the original releases.
8:18 am
puglet
Will I have to renew my membership on Babble here. Nothing else do I have that I need to save
8:19 am
o-o
No, just remember user name and password
8:19 am
MollyL
No, you can sign into Babble from any computer using your user name and password.
8:19 am
puglet
thank you both

4:34 pm
phandmd
plural the 6 before it
4:34 pm
bichon
tried that already. What's wrong with me?

4:48 pm
phandmd
well, I haven't started just yet. I need to go to employee health and prove I have the TB test and flu shot and I need to get an ID badge. It has been way to cold to venture out, so...
4:49 pm
phandmd
I will be volunteering doing patient/family care. (but not in a nursing capacity)
4:49 pm
periwinkle
ok, keep us posted
4:49 pm
periwinkle

4:49 pm
bichon
FW, hagn everyone
4:49 pm
periwinkle
why not in a nursing capacity tho?
4:49 pm
phandmd
yes, it will, and hopefully, it will eventually lead to a nursing job...
4:49 pm
periwinkle

4:49 pm
phandmd

4:50 pm
periwinkle
I do hope so, phan, I will keep my fingers crossed for you

4:50 pm
periwinkle
oh, that is too bad
4:51 pm
phandmd
yes, but it is what it is.
4:51 pm
phandmd
I checked with our community action agency to see if I could volunteer with their free clinic, but they are full at this time.
4:51 pm
phandmd
so, no I am attempting to check with Mission of Mercy
4:52 pm
periwinkle
at least you are checking out different options
4:52 pm
phandmd
wondering if I will have to go to a neighboring community to volunteer in a nursing capacity.
4:52 pm
phandmd
I will do what I need to do.
4:52 pm
periwinkle
that is what I was thinking, phan
4:53 pm
phandmd
I am just checking with one organization at a time...

5:25 pm
Jillyjill
Welcome to babble ookiebaker...we're here to help!
5:25 pm
Jillyjill
Hi lizlin!
5:25 pm
joso
the number before the slash is how many words you have that start from that letter, the number after the letter is how many words in total start from that letter, ... so 0/0 means you have none of the no words starting from that letter
5:26 pm
Lizlin
Hi Joso and Cookiebaker
5:26 pm
joso
hi liz, how's oz treating you
5:26 pm
Lizlin
A clear explanation Joso ;)
5:27 pm
MollyL
Minor correction. 0/0 means no words at all start from that letter.
5:27 pm
Lizlin
Oz is good thanks - where we are, we're escaping the extreme temps in Melbourne.
5:27 pm
Lizlin
Cool harp, Molly.
5:28 pm
MollyL
Thanks Liz
5:28 pm
joso
read it again molly, not so clear to all I guess
5:28 pm
Lizlin
I guess when you read things that you know, it always seems clear!
5:29 pm
Lizlin
How's the new apartment, Joso?
5:29 pm
MollyL
I thought "none of the no words" was a typo for so words.
5:29 pm
Lizlin
Does it feel like home yet?
5:30 pm
Lizlin
clue for re 5 /6 pls? The one after the umpire.
5:30 pm
joso
warm and cosy, wich is no minor thing in this weather
5:31 pm
Lizlin
That's good - we keep he4ing about the extreme cold you've got over there.
5:31 pm
MollyL
re5 to add more guys
5:31 pm
joso

5:32 pm
Lizlin
Thanks both of you - I like adding more guys!!!
5:32 pm
Lizlin
Can't believe that I'm still missing 11 5 letter words - out of 17 left!
5:33 pm
joso
was outside today to cut some wood, had to come back inside between each cut to get the feeling to return to my fingers
5:34 pm
Lizlin
That's cold! It seems like our summer is really beginning - first cyclone forming (probably; they're never totally sure until it happens) in N. Queensland and a tropical low affecting us!
5:35 pm
joso
seems some of our heat has been redirected to you
5:36 pm
Lizlin
Well, to Rose and Lyn certainly!
5:36 pm
Lizlin
We'll have to redirect it in a Northerly direction!

Wish you luck with that - everyone I know who's had that done, has been so happy with the result.
5:40 pm
72 Temple Owl
thank you. the downtime is a pain though
5:40 pm
Lizlin

5:40 pm
MollyL
*Looks around for chickens or Easter candy*
5:40 pm
72 Temple Owl
WHERE???
5:40 pm
MollyL
You said peeps
5:41 pm
Lizlin
You can play babble by touch, while you recover, so as not to strain the eyes, and we'll all ignore the typos!
5:41 pm
72 Temple Owl
like you do now
5:41 pm
Lizlin
Like the typos I make, using my eyes! LOL
5:42 pm
MollyL
Wow, Liz can type with her eyes. Cool.

72 Temple Owl
oh my, the queen is heading to bankrupty?
5:43 pm
Lizlin
Full of hidden skills!
5:43 pm
72 Temple Owl
actually, it's the restriction on physical activity that is troubling
5:43 pm
MollyL
All that gambling and drinking finally caught up with her.
5:43 pm
Lizlin
I just wish some of the skills would become unhidden.
5:43 pm
72 Temple Owl
good thing she doesnt live in nj
5:44 pm
Lizlin
Restricted because you can't use your eyes or too active and might damage the surgery.
5:44 pm
MollyL
*Imagines the Queen living in Jersey practicing her "how ya dooooin"
5:44 pm
72 Temple Owl
the latter. no dancing among other t hings
5:45 pm
Lizlin
How long are you restricted for?
5:45 pm
72 Temple Owl
healing time is three weeks, but i will rely on the doctor whom I will see a week later
5:46 pm
72 Temple Owl
molly: on line gambling . awful
5:46 pm
Lizlin
Sensible but I can understand the frustration!
5:46 pm
72 Temple Owl
frustration is the right word
5:47 pm
Lizlin
But think how great it will be the first time you go dancing afterwards!
5:47 pm
Jillyjill

fortunately, our local law has a great track record against that. they prosecute. i mentioned that and there was no more. but the suspicion of how he got it stays with me.
6:02 pm
Jillyjill
