{{hugs}} and hi pugs. it's always so lovely to see you, hun

1:31 am

puglet

same to you Rose :)

1:31 am

grannyrose

hmmm....how do i answer that? umm, i tried to do the ironing whikle standing this morning.

1:32 am

grannyrose

have decided i don't want to do that again, not just yet anyways.

1:32 am

Lizlin

Hi Rose and Pugs and everyone else :)

1:32 am

puglet

so I take it the pain is still very much there

1:32 am

flosey

hi pugs and rose

1:32 am

puglet

Hugs and Hi Liz--how are you

1:32 am

Lizlin

Ironing is never a good thing to do! Especially in summer!

1:33 am

grannyrose

hello liz. and yes, pugs. but i don't try, i won't know.

1:33 am

flosey

and Lin

1:33 am

flosey

Liz

1:33 am

Lizlin

Well thanks - went to a lovely sand sculpture exhibition today.

1:33 am

grannyrose

wheeee!! and here's flosey, hi hun

1:33 am

flosey

should be in bed, not even seeing straight

1:33 am

Lizlin

Hi Flosey

1:33 am

puglet

Hi Flosey

1:33 am

flosey

oh, they can be so amazing, can't they

1:34 am

puglet

Oh I bet that was nice Liz

1:34 am

grannyrose

nice, liz. in a garden display, or indoors?

1:34 am

flosey

how are you doing today, rose?

1:34 am

Lizlin

It's the 2nd year the exhibition / competition has been here - the artists are so talented. I took quite a few photos.

1:34 am

flosey

I have only seen them in photos

1:34 am

grannyrose

flosey, a bit of pain. tried to do the ironing while standing. not ready for that.

1:35 am

Lizlin

On the sea front at Surfers Paradise.

1:35 am

puglet

I bet those will make some nice puzzles

1:35 am

Lizlin

Hadn't thought of that, Pugs. Perhaps. I'll look at that idea later. The theme was myths, legends and fairy tales.

1:35 am

grannyrose

how lovely, liz. the weather was kind to you?

1:36 am

puglet

Sprite would love that!

1:36 am

Lizlin

Beautiful weather. This year though, they've put each sculpture under a canvas cover - last year the weather wasn't kind!

1:36 am

Lizlin

I thought that too.

1:37 am

grannyrose

they are still le5ing then...

1:37 am

Lizlin

I guess so! I think the competition travels around Aus!

1:38 am

grannyrose

we have had some very welcome rain here. i could almost hear my plants singing...in the rain...hmmm that could be a good song.

1:38 am

Lizlin

We really need some rain. Everything's very brown.

1:38 am

puglet

thats great Rose--did it cool it off there too

1:39 am

grannyrose

ditto here, liz. after the lovely green of spring too.

1:39 am

flosey

65 to go and must get to bed, too tired, rhave to shop in morning and afternoon ladies bridge here so have to provide tea and sweets

1:39 am

Lizlin

Sleep well Flosey

1:39 am

grannyrose

yes, pugs. i was actually COLD this morning.

1:39 am

puglet

night Flosey, enjoy and take care

1:39 am

grannyrose

night, flosey. sweet dreams, hun

1:39 am

Lizlin

I remember cold - mind you, don't like the memory!

1:40 am

flosey

ty dear ladies, enjoy the grid, it seems to move along nicely

1:40 am

puglet

thats good on your swelling though Rose

1:40 am

grannyrose

pretty much the first time i have been cold for about 3 years.

1:41 am

Lizlin

So a welcome relief then!

1:41 am

puglet

well that may be partly due to your meds

1:41 am

grannyrose

yes, pugs. it is....so...tomorrow my first hydro session, and perhaps our last counseling session. don and i are feeling very comfortable with everything now.

1:42 am

puglet

its going to be up in the 50's here today but with heavy rains coming and the possibility of severe storms later

1:43 am

puglet

thats so wonderful Rose glad for you guys

1:43 am

grannyrose

oh, oh, story time. there once was a sister called fang who when asked for her banking details refused to give them. then she had the gall to ring the bank and ask them why her inheritance wasn't in her account. LOLOLOL

1:43 am

Lizlin

Glad that the counselling has worked out so well for you and Don.

1:43 am

Lizlin

Silly woman!

1:45 am

grannyrose

she has delayed probate in so many ways..don can't believe she has that much idiocy in her head. she has left everything to don to do, then complains because the process is so slow. for goodness sake! the process is slow because she won't help.

1:45 am

puglet

so is that all tooken care of now

1:46 am

Lizlin

Catch 22!

1:46 am

grannyrose

well, yeah, pugs. with don driving backwards and forwards 4 times in one day, trying to get all the paperwork done.

1:47 am

Lizlin

Don't think the sculptures will make puzzles pugs.

1:47 am

grannyrose

i have a sneaking suspicion don just wants it all over, so he can get her out of his life.

1:47 am

puglet

ahh thats too bad Liz

1:48 am

Lizlin

Sympathy for Don - tough situation.

1:48 am

puglet

well can you blame him

1:48 am

puglet

she just seems to have a few problems with dealing with stuff

1:49 am

grannyrose

no i don't pugs. i feel sorry for him. when i see and feel the sense of 'family' with my bro's and sons, and he doesn't have it with his.

1:50 am

puglet

well he has one through you and yours Rose

1:51 am

Lizlin

That's always nice, pugs but it's not the same.

1:51 am

grannyrose

yes, love. he delights in my boys and my brothers and their families. he now voluntarily gives my SIL's a kiss hello and good-bye. and enjoys the banter between us siblings.

1:52 am

Lizlin

That's lovely.

1:53 am

puglet

I know it isnt Liz, but through Rose he can have a family life. Fang probably cant help the way she is--or cant see herself in others eyes

1:54 am

Lizlin

I think you're right there. And something is always better than nothing - i know that sounds insincere but it's not meant to be.

1:54 am

puglet

she is what she is I guess

1:55 am

puglet

Rose is Don's other sister like that too

1:57 am

grannyrose

his other sister is so much older than he is, she may as well be on another planet. at least she's not bitchy.

1:59 am

puglet

is that all he has is 2 sisters

1:59 am

puglet

Liz, is your new car still behaving its self

1:59 am

grannyrose

he has a brother who has health issues, and a wife with some sort of psychosis.

2:00 am

Lizlin

Yes thanks - it's wonderful!

2:01 am

puglet

are you talking about yourself or another wife--lol and is his brother older

2:01 am

Lizlin

lol

2:02 am

grannyrose

lolol, his brother is older by a few years, well....i was referring to lawrie's wife, but if you think the hat fits me, okay, i'll wear it also.

2:03 am

Lizlin

Only if it suits you!

2:03 am

grannyrose

pfft, liz :-P

2:03 am

Lizlin

;)

2:04 am

Lizlin

Clue for ag 7 pls. I have the ag 4 and 5 which are on either side of it but can't find that 7!

2:04 am

Lizlin

And then I found it!

2:05 am

2:05 am

Lizlin

That's the one!

2:05 am

grannyrose

3:15 am

good morning all

3:16 am

puglet

good morning Sprite--hugs

3:16 am

sprite

hi pugs *hugs*
Thank you for your sweet email!

3:17 am

puglet

yw--things any better

3:17 am

puglet

did the story come through

3:17 am

sprite

husband didn't come home last night. But I had a talk with Tim and got through to him and he is going to make things right between him and his father. So that part went ok.

3:18 am

puglet

thats one step forwards then and how about you--you okay

3:20 am

sprite

yes I think so. A bit too much stress yesterday, but hanging in there. How about you?

3:21 am

puglet

Iam good---I got to go walking again and its to be up in 50's today---but with heavy rains and chance of severe storms later

3:22 am

sprite

yay for walking and getting out of the house! The heavy rain and storms don't sound appealing, but at least they will probably clear up a lot of the snow.

3:23 am

puglet

thats what Iam hoping! I can now see patches of grass and lots and lots of mud--lol

3:24 am

sprite

lolol things will be very messy for a while. But anything is better than the snow, right?

3:24 am

puglet

so true!

3:25 am

puglet

as long as we dont have tornados and such I can dress for the rain and take a walk

3:25 am

sprite

that in itself is worth all the mud.

3:26 am

puglet

have you felt like going out and are you taking care of you

3:27 am

sprite

the fight kind of messed that up. Made me feel very unsafe and stressed. But I did what I could with eating... had 3 meals yesterday and drank enough. Didn't sleep much the night before but I did sleep tonight.

3:28 am

Lizlin

Just a quick hi, sprite and rehi, pugs.

3:28 am

sprite

hi Liz! *hugs* How are you!

3:28 am

puglet

I thought as much--dont let it set you too far back Sprite

3:28 am

Lizlin

Sorry you're having another tough time, sprite. Hopefully the photos I've just sent you, pugs, rose and ruby will help!

3:28 am

puglet

re hi Liz

3:29 am

puglet

oh thank you Liz

3:29 am

Lizlin

I'll chase up that nail polish again at the weekend, sprite.

3:29 am

Lizlin

Just don't get too jealous of my beautiful home city!

3:29 am

Lizlin

Just don't get too jealous of my beautiful home city!

3:29 am

Lizlin

Ooops!

3:29 am

sprite

oooo thank you Liz! And if all works out, the tough time will be short this time. Husband should come home tonight and Tim and he will sort this out.

3:30 am

Lizlin

Good :)

3:30 am

sprite

I really worry a bit about your friend, Liz. I hope it is just that she is busy and not that she feels uncomfortable about it.

3:31 am

Lizlin

I'm sure that's all it is - I sent you a copy of the email I sent her - so she knows that I'll sort it later in the year, if that's what she'd prefer.

3:31 am

3:38 am

grannyrose

sprite, tried to do the ironing whilst standing today. not gonna try that again for quite a few weeks. don had to help me onto the bed. it was almost like when i first woke up post-op.

3:38 am

dizgrannie

gotta go to a dietician to put ON weight, with all the probs with me and huby this past 18 mths I have dropped down to 49.5 kilos with me boots on

3:39 am

sprite

oh dear, rose. Babysteps, remember? Please take it easy, my darling. You will get there. In time.

3:39 am

3:39 am

puglet

oh thats not good Diz

3:39 am

sprite

ouch dizgrannie, that is seriously underweight!

3:40 am

rubyfoo

can you sit to iron? Or, on the other hand, stop ironing and just fold stuff while it's warm. Nobody will care if there are a few wrinkles here and there!

3:40 am

dizgrannie

yes it is Sprite, seeing I am 5ft 6 1/2

3:41 am

rubyfoo

Look at me, a shriveled-up old lady and my husband still thinks I'm cute LOL. It must be his eyes. My wrinkles have wrinkles

3:41 am

grannyrose

ruby, i have been doing so. but today thought i would challenge me. wasn't the best idea i have ever had.

3:41 am

rubyfoo

{{skinny dizgrannie}} my monkey arms could hug you twice!

3:41 am

sprite

hehehe your husband just has good taste, ruby

3:42 am

dizgrannie

Ruby, like your way of thinking....I never iron, fold clothes up straight off the line or clothes dryer.

3:42 am

grannyrose

lol, ruby. that was what i said to don the other night. thank-you for making me feel desirable.

3:42 am

sprite

same for me. Don't iron at all.

3:42 am

rubyfoo

when I was single and still working, I would iron in front of the TV, but I| was a lot younger

3:42 am

sprite

challenging yourself is ok, rose. Just errrr... make it a tiny challenge? :)

3:43 am

puglet

I dont iron either, but I like doing it

3:43 am

rubyfoo

and wore nicer clothes. Now I wear weaters (several layers in this freezing house, and don't care much

3:43 am

grannyrose

ah well, will agree to differ, if that's okay. i say if your clothes were cheap to buy, iron them to look better, if they were expensive, iron them to look after them.

3:43 am

sprite

oh another person who likes ironing. So does Haz, pug!

3:43 am

rubyfoo

or even sweaters*

3:44 am

puglet

I could name several things Rose hasent been very smart in doing while trying to mend--lol

3:44 am

sprite

I can admire that, rose! Just won't do it, lol.

3:44 am

rubyfoo

when I worked, I always wore silk shirts. Now those shirts hang in my closet, unworn

3:44 am

grannyrose

yeah ironing rocks!! husbands leave you alone when you are ironing...lolol

3:45 am

puglet

whys that Ruby

3:45 am

grannyrose

pffft, pugs. :-P

3:45 am

rubyfoo

I don't dress up any more. I live in the country and don't go any place

3:46 am

sprite

very true, pugs. Our ro4 needs someone to watch over her, lol.

3:47 am

grannyrose

hey, what is this? gang up on ro4 night? lololol. i know, i know, you are all just watching out for me.

3:47 am

puglet

so Ruby--dress up just for yourself--I do sometimes

3:48 am

sprite

wish we could, ro4! For now, you just have to imagine me and pug standing next to you, BEFORE you go and challenge yourself again.

3:48 am

puglet

we do but alot of good it does--lol

3:48 am

puglet

you only tell us after the damage is done

3:49 am

rubyfoo

I don't even wear my wedding ring most days, afraid I'll lose it AGAIN. I lost it for about 6 months and the new housekeeper found it in the bowels of the washing machine

3:49 am

rubyfoo

on her first day!

3:50 am

sprite

your new housekeeper sounds like a keeper, ruby

3:50 am

rubyfoo

she could have put it in her pocket and I never would have known

3:50 am

puglet

at least she was honest and good luck for you on her finding it

3:51 am

puglet

as a teenager I cleaned house for some old people and they would leave money out just to see if they could trust you

3:52 am

sprite

not really nice

3:53 am

rubyfoo

our first housekeeper would carefully put aside any change she found, but I'm sure if she found paper money, it went into her pocket.

3:53 am

rubyfoo

soys

3:53 am

rubyfoo

soya

3:53 am

rubyfoo

soyas

3:53 am

sprite

ouch, that is awful, ruby

3:53 am

puglet

maybe not, but in a way I couldnt blame them---the elderly are taken advantage of many times

3:54 am

rubyfoo

sorry, bad nel won't talk any more

3:54 am

sprite

that is true, pug. Must have been nice for them to find out they could really trust you.

3:54 am

puglet

I never ever thought to steal off of any of them

3:55 am

sprite

no of course not. But I guess some people do.

3:56 am

puglet

when I was working in the nursing home, aids would steal from some of the residents and I thought that was so low

3:56 am

o-o

some people I worked for as a young one would tell me if I moved something to put it back ... they told me to take out the garbage ... I did but made sure I put it back.

3:57 am

sprite

Gollum's real name
Famous actor of action movies, fights aikido style

3:57 am

puglet

3:59 am

puglet

4:00 am

sprite

puglet

4:23 am

grannyrose

4:24 am

4:27 am

grannyrose

oh yeah? with me doing all the hard work?

4:27 am

grannyrose

once counseling over, home and rest....

4:27 am

puglet

well should keep you out of trouble--lol

4:28 am

zoozzoom

I always say if your body does not give out pain signals because it is happy..it is telling you to ease off. When you are hungry you do not take that as your body is telling you you are full..etc...listen to your body.

4:28 am

puglet

all the same to you Sprite--love and hugs

4:28 am

grannyrose

xoxox sprite. did you see the photos i sent you, hun? hope they made you giggle.

4:33 am

zoozzoom

How far are you with this grid, Pugs?

4:34 am

zoozzoom

Yes trying to keep the peace between two people is not easy i am sure...for one will think you are taking one or the others side..so no doubt one will be offended.

5:53 am

zoozzoom

Yes it does, Pugs..not so much the light as in S.A.D..but just in general not being able to get outside and go for walks or getting into the garden to pot about in the soil..just doing the same routine of going to parent helping them coming home and staying in all day does my head in..lol

5:54 am

puglet

this has been a hard winter--I know just how all that is---the four same walls gets to you after awhile

5:55 am

can you not walk in the rain or are you afraid of melting?-lol

5:56 am

zoozzoom

Yes it is nice to have fresh air..but when it is so cold outside and heat costs so much money..i hardly open a window in winter..and it is not good for you.

5:56 am

puglet

I dont mind storms like that but when it come to tornados Iam kind of afraid of them

5:58 am

crosshair

good morning everyone:)) almost summer weather here at minus 2c:))

5:58 am

zoozzoom

I do walk in the rain at times but there is no where to go here..if you go to the forest area you get sodden and so muddy..town here is crap..only a few shops..it takes a couple of mins to look around the same old stuff..lol...i do walk along the beach..but it is often blowing a ga4..lol

5:58 am

puglet

Hi Crossy!

5:58 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Crossy :-)

5:58 am

zoozzoom

Crossy is almost in the grid today.

5:59 am

crosshair

:)

5:59 am

zoozzoom

Well yes i would crap myself if there was a huge tornado here..lol

6:00 am

puglet

well Zoom, I live on a country road and a hilly one at that so I have the same problem, but I still go when I can. What about a set of headphones

6:00 am

puglet

I seen that Crossy

6:01 am

zoozzoom

I think you are right though, Pugs, i could make more of an effort to get out and about though..i do tend to make excuses not to.

6:02 am

puglet

when I get too bored with that I try walking it backwards---thats a good leg work out

6:03 am

puglet

you need to look out for the small things Zoom--like birds or the way a limb is growing or even a new crack in the walkway--lol

6:03 am

zoozzoom

hahaha no way..wonder what your neighbours think when they see you going past bakwards..lol

6:04 am

puglet

truthfully I dont really care

6:05 am

zoozzoom

I used to, pugs, being into photography i would look at things in different ways to photograaph them..but for a couple of years now i seem to have lost interest in lots of things and have not been as confident as i used to be..lol

6:06 am

zoozzoom

Good for you, Pugs, You are a strong person.

6:06 am

puglet

and you living alone Zoom, put on some music and dance and be silly---close your curtains if you are afraid of someone seeing you---laugh at yourself--you will feel better

6:07 am

puglet

well I hope you can find a way to reverse that Zoom

6:08 am

zoozzoom

I think once i get back into work and feel part of the community again might make me feel better about myself..who knows.

6:08 am

puglet

I would say so but it will mostly be your mind set

6:09 am

zoozzoom

Being on my own is not a problem for me..in fact i kind of like it..never thought i would but it seems to suit me..lol

6:09 am

crosshair

yes, never, ever take life too seriously. in 100 years none of it will matter. you want people 100 years from now to look up your name and say "wow!!, was she wild and crazy!"

6:09 am

crosshair

or he as the case may be

6:09 am

puglet

so true Crossy

6:10 am

zoozzoom

Crossy i looked at your puzzles and man they look difficult to do..lol

6:10 am

zoozzoom

Yes i agree, Crossy, i should not give a fig what others think of me..but for some stupid reason..i do..but do not know why..lol

6:11 am

crosshair

most of them are talking on our trips into the mountain the hardest one( I think) is mountain spring in autumn

6:11 am

crosshair

taken

6:11 am

puglet

well zoom, that leaf of yours wasent no cherry pie-lol

6:12 am

puglet

Zoom, you ever think they might think--man I wish I could be like that guy!

6:12 am

zoozzoom

Oh did you do that one..lol..i have put more on but less pieces..i tend to like the few piece puzzles now..lol

6:12 am

crosshair

never, ever give a hoot about what people think of you. do what gives you pleasue and if someone else does not like it? too friggin bad!

6:13 am

puglet

yes I did and Iam glad it wasent any bigger--lol--havent been there in a few days

6:13 am

puglet

thats how I feel too Crossy--I just be myself

6:13 am

crosshair

if you like to paint pictures while sitting on your front lawn in you Victoria secret collection, do it!

6:13 am

zoozzoom

Still waiting for you to put a puzzle on..can't wait to do it.

6:14 am

zoozzoom

Yes i am going to be like that more now..stuuff what peope think of me.

6:14 am

puglet

oh yeah, I keep forgetting to do that

6:14 am

zoozzoom

How did you know, crossy hahaha

6:14 am

crosshair

lol

6:15 am

zoozzoom

Has your classes finished now, Crossy?

6:15 am

puglet

lol Crossy--dont know that I would go that far

6:15 am

crosshair

nope, am deep into more English lit

6:15 am

zoozzoom

Oh wow the sun has come out.

6:16 am

crosshair

there ya go, now go out there, and dance in the sunlight for a minute

6:16 am

zoozzoom

How are you getting on in the learning..going well?

6:16 am

puglet

good Zoom--go get you some r4

6:17 am

crosshair

it is going very, very well, zooz. tbh, I am surpised at how well it is going. after a 33 hiatus from my last schooling to this one

6:18 am

zoozzoom

Am very pleased to hear that, Crossy, Good on you for improving yourself :-)

6:18 am

crosshair

i highly recommend that everyone who feels they missed something the first go around to dive back into some classes

6:19 am

zoozzoom

ok dokie will take a walk while the sun is shining here..back later..and thanks for chatting, Pugs & Crossy...hope you both have a wonderful day.

6:19 am

crosshair

you as well zooz

6:19 am

puglet

you too Zoom and enjoy the walk

6:20 am

puglet

Iam taking a break from this too--enjoy the grid Crossy and take care--bye all

6:21 am

crosshair

and there is a perk to going back. you often end up with a blended class of mature adults and 18- 20 year olds who are missing one credit for their diploma and there is nothing better than popping in a 95%-98% and breaking the grading curge and said to the kids " that is how the old farts do it, kiddo!"

6:21 am

crosshair

grading curve

6:25 am

crosshair

overheard one 19 year old say " I am glad I came back for my last credit, when I was younger I used to hate school".. when you were younger?? darlin, the t-shirt I am wearing is older than you are lol

6:31 am

rubyfoo

{{crossy}} the good student

6:31 am

just back from lunch and B. left the car running the whole time. Lucky it didn't get stoen

6:36 am

rubyfoo

I thought I lost you

6:36 am

rubyfoo

6:36 am

crosshair

was making tea

6:37 am

crosshair

why on earth did he leave the car running the entire time?

6:38 am

rubyfoo

I jumped out to go to the shops befor he had parked, so I had no idea until after lunch

6:38 am

rubyfoo

He is getting more and more forgetful

6:40 am

rubyfoo

He probably shouldn't be driving, but I don't have the heart to take that away from him

6:41 am

crosshair

very dangerous

6:42 am

rubyfoo

surprisingly, his driving isn't bad as he goes at a very reasonable speed and never far. I'm just afraid he'll lose the car

6:42 am

rubyfoo

or get lost

6:43 am

crosshair

i should not feed you horror stories but in his 74 year, my F.I.L backed into someone on the sidewalk while backing out of his driveway. he did not use his back up mirrors

6:44 am

rubyfoo

and B is 88!!!!

6:44 am

rubyfoo

Do they make older people take tests there?

6:44 am

crosshair

here, after age 80, i think it is, everyone gets retested every year

6:44 am

crosshair

snap

6:44 am

rubyfoo

not here, unfortunately

6:45 am

MollyL

Ruby, I know it seems hard, but it's time for some tough love. I think it's becoming clear to you that your husband and driving is bound to lead to unfortunate consequences.

6:45 am

rubyfoo

I need clues for the u and an 8. Do you have either, or even stats?

6:45 am

crosshair

that is what i am thinking as well

6:45 am

crosshair

ch 8/ 50 and su 8/60

6:45 am

rubyfoo

I know, molly, but I feel so sorry for him and he has so little left to do

6:46 am

crosshair

i hate to be blunt, but if he hurts someone ...

6:46 am

MollyL

We had to take the car away from my Dad (who had Alzheimer's) and it was a very hard thing to do. But it was for his safety and for the safety of those he could possibly harm.

6:47 am

rubyfoo

Fortunately we live in a very small town and he doesn't have to go far.

6:47 am

crosshair

fortunately the man my fil ran over survived

6:47 am

rubyfoo

I would happily do all the driving, but he won't let me

6:48 am

crosshair

it is a hard thing

6:48 am

rubyfoo

growing old isn't for sissies

6:48 am

crosshair

nope. have to be tough as nails

6:51 am

rubyfoo

150 words and going to lie down

6:52 am

crosshair

have a good rest ((ruby))

6:56 am

MollyL

It's a tough disease to deal with. My parents insisted they could continue living on their own (it was clear they could not, safely) and my Dad insisted he could continue driving (which he could not). Stepping in to manage people's lives when they are in their 80's is not an easy thing to do.

6:58 am

crosshair

it is tough indeed

7:00 am

crosshair

just being executor afterwards is hell. my M.I.L's was deemed a "simple" estate by the lawyer but it is now 2 years after the fact and we are just finishing up this year

7:01 am

crosshair

and leave you cash to the animal shelter or the cancer society. sudden money tears families apart. you see the real people come out in a hurry

7:01 am

crosshair

or organize all the cash yourself before you pass on

7:02 am

ladycece920

my mother (82) has put everything in a trust which i appreciate greatly because you are right crossy they come after every dime

7:26 am

crosshair

you have a wise mother

7:27 am

crosshair

ok, time for crossy to head off to the hallowed halls of learning. tc all and happy babbling!

7:31 am

Soodle

Wow, Molly. The final sentence of your last post is SO relevant to me. I am currently going through that particular horror. It's dreadful- for all parties.

7:33 am

MollyL

It is dreadful, and heartbreaking. I will be ever grateful that I had my sister to go through it with.

7:34 am

bichon

My parents put all their estate into a trust and I am the executor. They were afraid my estranged brother would come after it.

7:36 am

Soodle

My Dad was discharged from a 4 month stay in hospital 10 days ago. He has mulyiple falls. He is doubly incontinent & my mother just can't manage him. Yet both of them are adamant they want to remain at home. It's horrific.

7:37 am

bichon

I use the money to pay for Mom's care in the Merory Unit of Assisted Living

7:38 am

MollyL

It's hard for the elders to admit they can no longer care for themselves.

7:40 am

MollyL

I watched my Dad spiral into the darkness of Alzheimer's and my Mom spiral into a pill problem because she couldn't deal with what was happening to my Dad. Horror is the appropriate word.

7:42 am

Soodle

My Mom is very frail, but with live-in help to cook, clean etc, she can look after her own personal care. My Dad is in need of full time, 24 hour care. They, with financial support from us, could afford one or other. Not both. It's appalling that, in their 80's, after a life-time of paying taxex, they are now frantic about costs.

7:45 am

Babs1

hi o-o, I believe the Hebrew word in your profile means "in the beginning".

8:15 am

MollyL

Speaking of "in the beginning"...I love this quote...The story goes on to say that God created man in his own image, but there's not much proof of that. After all God made the sun and the moon and the stars, and all man makes is trouble. : D

8:15 am

Anniebrook

I like that quote

8:17 am

Anniebrook

I still hurt from that fall on Sunday. My back and my tailbone, ouch.

8:18 am

Anniebrook

Im taking Aleve and Robaxin ( muscle relaxant)

8:21 am

MollyL

I hope it gets better soon Annie. It's amazing how much our muscles do for us and how long it can take them to heal.

8:22 am

Anniebrook

thanks, Molly. Everything is a chore now. I hate that. Laundry later.

It is slicker than snot on a doorknob here

right now it's freezing rainville but is supposed to get quite warm today - starting tomorrow we head back into the deep freeze. Should be interesting.

8:26 am

How many have experience snot on a doorknob?

8:26 am

mixi6

nope. I would think it would dry out.

8:27 am

mixi6

and fall off

8:28 am

bichon

My letter carrier won't deliver my mail. Have to meet him at the curb, which isn't much better

8:30 am

o-o

and if you do not meet him at the curb, what happens to the mail?

8:31 am

bichon

They hold on to it. I have a longer driveway than my neighbors. I would call the post office, but I don't want to get him in trouble

8:32 am

o-o

And you cannot have a mailbox at the curb?

8:33 am

bichon

No, it's a mail slot in the garage door. It's good. I don't have to go outside, and I don't have to worry if I go away for a few days

8:35 am

o-o

But you do have to go outside to the curb or the carrier goes right on by?

8:36 am

bichon

Only with the weather conditions being so bad. There are some other people whose house he doesn't go to. He's an older guy and I feel sorry for him.

8:48 am

jzw

How come sunray is not a word? It's in my Scrabble dictionary?

8:49 am

MollyL

Many words recognized by most other dictionaries are not recognized by the Enable word list. Enable is horribly outdated.

8:50 am

jzw

And I always thought Scrabble was outdated!

hurshy

she fell and broke her hip on tuesday and had surgery, and then in the night, after the surgery, she died. they think maybe a blood clot.

9:27 am

LuvWordGames

that's too bad-so unexpected and that makes it harder to accept

LuvWordGames

9:43 am

Uneaixoise

so sorry about your aunt, hursh -- hugs to you

9:48 am

mkg

i believe that the most common cause of death in elderly women is broken hip. the hip bone is so large that when it breaks the entire body goes.

9:48 am

mkg

sorry hursh. how old was she?

9:49 am

harpjane

sorry hursh

9:49 am

mkg

got the other 8: su: opp of moon, then top of house and plural.

hurshy

she was only 62.

9:52 am

mkg

whatever happened to english that changed F to V when plural? as in: wife became wives, r**f (top of house) became r**ves? in the 50s this is what we learned and in grid now it is wifes and r**fs. did the change to V go out? on an SAT exam what would it say is right?

9:52 am

mkg

wow 62 is VERY YOUNG. OUCH. I AM SO SO SO SORRY. anyone under 70 who dies has not lived a full life. I am so sorry hursh. you must be very young.

11:08 am

ivesy3

11:09 am

ivesy3

not at all lori..all do it at one time or another

11:09 am

MollyL

I thought the whole purpose of Xanex for an MRI was to relax you so the MRI process wouldn't freak you out.

11:10 am

ivesy3

works wonders for that, but for some reason i have lots of energy now.. lol.. feel like cleaning the house..had reverse effect..damnation

11:11 am

MollyL

They will have to knock me out if they ever want to get my claustrophobic self into one of those things.

11:12 am

ivesy3

wasnt too bad this time.. only bout 15 mins.. very loud though even with the headphones..

11:13 am

MollyL

With all the technological advances we have made, you would think they would have perfected that whole procedure by now.

11:14 am

ivesy3

my thoughts exactly molly...guess we couldnt go to space then..in a capsule , cooped up lol

11:15 am

MollyL

That is my idea of hell. Add instant coffee for hell plus.

11:16 am

ivesy3

ahhhh... instant coffee or or tang!

11:18 am

bichon

When I've had an MRI I wear eyeshades so I don't know where I am. Could be home in bed

I ar 5/10 early this morning and started babbling. After finding the grid not so ea 4/6, I ch5/14 to give up after finding 199 words. Now here is a a story of clues. I wish I could ea 4/4 a living playing and reviewing ga 5/16. I am addicted to playing ga4/7s on the internet.So much so that I eat every me4/5 in front of the laptop.I like to play Bejeweled Blitz. It's where you try to match ge4/7. Another one that I like to play is "La4/4r Beam Escape". Another one I love to play is Candy Crush Sa4/6. One ga 4/7 I don't like is Farmville. Hubby LOVES Farmville. He plays the sa 4/5 ga5/16 over and over again. He is such a bo 4/6! I think Farmville is a la 4/5 ga 4/7. Of course my favorite one is Babble. I think if I did not babble, all the other mindless ga5/16 would era4/4 my brain cells. It is the only educational one I play where I le 5/10 new words every day.Husband ch6/24s to use computer now He sa 4/6 I better give it to him or else...... I'll ple5/10 him and give it to him so he does not get into a ra4/6. I am going to get off my ar 4/4 now and go on the so4/7 to watch the movie Gl 5/16ing the Cube. I will be back later on today to help clue some more.Goodbye for now

he said he did something to not allow cookies but dont you need that to happen for most pages?

you will be denied access to some websites if you don't allow cookies, but you should also see a drop down menu when you visit those sites asking if you wish to allow cookies for that site.

3:13 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!

3:14 pm

jaxx7

Evening all. The weather has dealt us an earthquake today. Only 4.1 but an earthquake nevertheless. I think Devon has angered the gods somehow.

3:14 pm

bichon

I'm happy because it was warmer today

3:14 pm

phandmd

where, Jaxx?

3:14 pm

jaxx7

On top of the earthquake, we had severe hailstorms.

3:14 pm

Minveryork

Hello jaxx7!How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid

3:15 pm

lilliann

Hi MIn and jaxx.hope you are ok.We've had sun today

3:15 pm

phandmd

it is warmer here, we are to get rain overnight with possible flooding but 60's tomorrow!

3:15 pm

jaxx7

In the Bristol Channel just off South Devon. It was felt from North Devon to South Devon.

3:15 pm

lilliann

Which has made a change from the gales and rain

3:16 pm

bichon

You had an earthquake in Britain

3:16 pm

phandmd

Jaxx, not familiar with where you are from, what country is that?

3:16 pm

Minveryork

I had sun earlier today.Now it is cloudy and looks like snow

3:16 pm

lilliann

We've had them before Bichon

3:17 pm

jaxx7

I guess you could say that about an earthquake. perhaps we will now have a heatwave to complete it all.

3:17 pm

lilliann

Phan, Jaxx, lives in England

3:18 pm

bichon

I did not realize that you've had an earthquake.

3:18 pm

phandmd

Min, we had sun earlier as well, but the sky has given way to clouds like you. But it is too warm for snow, PTL!

Thanks, Lilli.

3:18 pm

periwinkle

PTL?

3:18 pm

phandmd

oh, Praise the Lord.

3:18 pm

jaxx7

England, on the peninsula in the South West. Small seaside town with about 14,000 residents. Devon has about 2 million residents in all.

3:18 pm

periwinkle

it was warmer here too and sunny. cloudy and gray now. supposed to rain tomorrow

3:19 pm

lilliann

Aye, we could do with some dry warm weather.we'll probably have a heat wave next month...we have had them before in March :)

3:19 pm

periwinkle

yagi

3:19 pm

phandmd

I was forgetting that today is not Friday, we will have rain tomorrow and sun and 60 on Saturday.

3:20 pm

jaxx7

You are just across the border then Lilliann?

3:21 pm

lilliann

By the way Jaxx, my post at 3.15 was nothing to do with your earthquake post, it was about my earlier post about the rain and gales.North East

3:22 pm

jaxx7

The nasty weather is certainly being shared about.

3:22 pm

lilliann

Apparently we had the warmest day today...makes a change! :)

3:23 pm

jaxx7

I wonder how long we have before the whole country sinks?

3:24 pm

lilliann

Aye, our little Island is definitely taking a battering at the moment.plus a few sink holes are now happening.there was the one a couple of weeks ago on the M2 and then there was one a couple of days ago under someone's house in Yorkshire

3:24 pm

Minveryork

Eventually, this whole planet will be just water, but not in our lifetime;a ways away I would not worry about it jaxx7.

3:25 pm

jaxx7

There have been six so far. The latest is still growing and at least three homes have been evacuated.

3:25 pm

lilliann

No Min, but i wouldn't wish it on any of my ancestors

3:26 pm

lilliann

6 now, i've missed a few of them but i don't always watch the news...too depressing!!

3:26 pm

After this winter, I don't think it will be too far away. maybe we should sey up a company building arks.

3:27 pm

Fracking is causing earthquakes in parts of the US

3:27 pm

Fracking?

3:27 pm

jaxx7

set, even. haven't got my specs on.

3:28 pm

phandmd

bbl

3:28 pm

bichon

Fracking rocks by pressurized liquids

3:28 pm

jaxx7

They want to start fracking here. The Prime Minister is all for it but then he has removed planning controls on national parks and green zones so what does he know?

3:29 pm

lilliann

Not a bad idea jax.i can't think of the film i watched the other week where they had built these big arks but had all the royalty,governments and wealthy people on board with loads of animals who where air lifted by helicopters...

3:30 pm

bichon

It's easy money for this economy. But, it scares me

3:31 pm

jaxx7

The very rich can look after themselves. These arks will be for the ordinary citizens whose opinion are of no interest until there is an election.

3:32 pm

lilliann

I agree jaxx

3:34 pm

Run for your life! The sky is falling!

The little red hen did all the work to bake the bread while all the lazy farm animals sat around on their butts

3:36 pm

You mean just like HMG?

3:41 pm

MollyL

Is HMG Her Majesty's Government? We have our own troubles here with the buffoon running our government.

3:42 pm

They like sitting on their bums.

3:43 pm

Do you mean that lovely friend of 'call me Dave'; Obama?

3:43 pm

bichon

I read this week that Queen E is running through her money and needs more from the public for repairs to Buckingham

3:43 pm

mo

just reading back in the chog , and poking my nose in, but they have been fracking here in North Nottinghamshire for years, with no ill effects. (fingers crossed! :-()

3:44 pm

bichon

I don't think you can mess with the earth in this way without consequences

3:44 pm

Minveryork

I had people come to house to sign anti-fracking petitions.

3:44 pm

MollyL

I love the word fracking. It sounds so naughty.
: D

3:45 pm

uusue2

hi all!

3:45 pm

bichon

what do you think of fracking sue? Is it dangerous for the earth?

3:45 pm

Minveryork

Hello uusue2!How are you doing? Welcome back to the log

3:46 pm

jaxx7

The Queen gave up the Crown Estate in exchange for an annual sum to keep her official duties going. At one time she didn't pay Income Tax but she does now. It is a complicated system that the fiscal crisis has damaged. I think she is worth every penny. I also think she should take the Crown Estate back and watch HMG scream blue murder.

3:46 pm

uusue2

hi bichon, I haven't looked into it in detail so can't say for sure. It is very resource-intensive (you have to put a lot of energy in to get that oil out, and then it needs refining). It also uses a lot of water and sand.

3:47 pm

lilliann

Hi Sue :)

3:47 pm

bichon

The Crown Estate being?

3:48 pm

jaxx7

All the income from her estates.

3:49 pm

uusue2

Also it is clear to me that our supplies of fossil fuels are running out. I have looked at this, using industry figures, and all three major fossil fuels - coal, oil, and natural gas - will run out in the next 30-50 years, assuming we continue to use them at present rates. I think fracking is a sign of desperation - eventually we will have to figure out some other way to get energy.

3:49 pm

bichon

Are these the tenant farmers?

3:50 pm

MollyL

Sue, that is not a new concept, and yet very little has been done about alternatives.

3:50 pm

bichon

I fear for the lives my grandchildren will live

3:51 pm

jaxx7

There are all sorts of sources of income. She has her own farms etc and lots of property and estates handed down from previous monarchs.

3:51 pm

uusue2

I know, Molly; part of the problem is that our current economic system rewards short-term returns far more than long-term investments.

3:52 pm

mo

there are many years of coal left in this country but our dear government has closed down most of our pits.

3:52 pm

jaxx7

I fear for my daughter as much as my two grandchildren and she is 35.

3:52 pm

bichon

Coal is one of the reasons for global warming

3:53 pm

uusue2

true, mo, but even in the case of coal (using the best numbers I could find for world reserves) "many" years is decades, not centuries.

3:54 pm

mo

sorry bichon, but I do not think there is such a thing as global warming. but that is my opinion and many more in this country.

3:54 pm

jaxx7

Now they are closing all the coal fired power stations which is leaving us with the possibility of power cuts. meanwhile China builds 2 coal fired power stations every week. It is all crazy

3:55 pm

bichon

Look at the air quality in China. Asthma, lung cancer

3:55 pm

uusue2

mo, this is another thing I have studied in detail (I used to teach about it). The physics causing global warming is actually rather simple, and was predicted as early as the late 1800s.

3:55 pm

mo

I agree with you jaxx.

3:56 pm

MollyL

One of the biggest problems I see is how automobile dependent people have become.

3:56 pm

bichon

Yes, at the University in our town, kids come to school with SUVs. Why. If they need to bring their stuff from home they can rent a UHaul

3:56 pm

uusue2

The Chinese are also doing a lot of research and investing in renewable energy sources.

3:57 pm

JenMO16

hi everyone!

3:57 pm

uusue2

hi jen!

3:57 pm

bichon

Let's hope the Chinese do something.

3:57 pm

I've never understood why single people drive SUVs.

3:57 pm

There have been periods of warming and cooling ever since the earth first formed. I am sure that this is the start of the next phase. Many scientists have been predicting an Ice Age.

3:59 pm

jaxx7

My mother said we should let China sleep. They are out for world domination. Another reason that I fear for my descendants.

4:00 pm

uusue2

jaxx, there was an article in the popular press about 40 years ago talking about the possibility of another ice age, but aside from nuclear winter, few if any scientists were predicting such a thing. And if you look at historical (and geological) data you can see how anomalous the present warming really is. (I don't have a real ax to grind here, except that I am a scientist, and try to understand the world and what is really going on)

4:00 pm

MollyL

Well Jaxx, they have been saying that about the Chinese for a long time, and so far, they haven't taken over the world.

4:02 pm

jaxx7

They are dominating world trade. How many home made items are on shop shelves? Once they have removed competition they will charge what they like.

4:03 pm

Minveryork

Hello JenMO16! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog.

4:03 pm

jaxx7

They are stockpiling the world's resources as well. They are being very friendly and co-operative and our governments are being taken in.

4:03 pm

JenMO16

hi min, doing fine

4:04 pm

jaxx7

I am off to make myself and my husband a drink. Hope to be back later.

4:04 pm

uusue2

the Chinese have undercut the world market for the so-called rare earth minerals (which are not actually all that rare) so the domestic production is almost nil here; we use these minerals in a lot of our electronics

4:04 pm

uusue2

see you later, jaxx!

4:05 pm

MollyL

After I took a course in college called "How To Lie With Statistics" I'm very skeptical about what I read.

4:06 pm

uusue2

it is very good to be skeptical, Molly! I try to learn as much as I can about issues that are important to me, from as many different sources as possible

4:08 pm

MollyL

I think if more people were like you, Sue, our society would be better informed and make better choices. The general public is (sadly) easy to fool.

4:09 pm

uusue2

well, thank you, Molly! I try to be as well informed as possible (especially about areas where I have some expertise!)

4:10 pm

uusue2

however I am feeling in the need of a cup of tea at the moment. Back soon.

4:11 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye jaxx7! I will see you tomorrow in the chog maybe

4:15 pm

JenMO16

hey min, can you help for a sec?

4:16 pm

JenMO16

or anyone that can help with lickety's list?

4:16 pm

Minveryork

I can try JenMO16. I only have 200 words. What do U need?

4:17 pm

JenMO16

how do I move the words from lickety's list to here or vice versa?

4:18 pm

lynxxx

are you using Licketys List or BabbleExpert?

4:18 pm

JenMO16

lickety's list

4:19 pm

MollyL

Copy your word list and use the BULK ADD feature on Lickety's list page to add the words there.

4:19 pm

JenMO16

ok, I will try

4:20 pm

Minveryork

I have never moved them from Lickety's list to here. I've only done it the other way. Copy all the words from this Babble page. Open Lickety in a new window & click on Bulk/Add Grab. Paste the words into first white box and click on add bulk. They should fall into the right places.

4:21 pm

MollyL

And be sure you use the ADD BULK button. Hitting return will just take you to the top of the page.

4:23 pm

JenMO16

shouldn't right clicking be copying my words?

4:24 pm

JenMO16

when I right click on the list, nothing happens

4:24 pm

Minveryork

You need the drag the mouse and hightlight all the words.

4:25 pm

Minveryork

Then right click or goto edit at top & select copy JenMO16.

4:25 pm

JenMO16

i did that, min, but when i right click to move the list, nothing happens

4:26 pm

Minveryork

I need to go get my dog from groomer.Good luck JenMO16

4:26 pm

MollyL

Jen are you on a MAC or a PC?

4:26 pm

JenMO16

thanks

4:26 pm

Minveryork

If you're still have problems when I get back I'll try to help.

4:27 pm

Minveryork

If you're on a Mac, command C will also copy words JenMO

4:27 pm

Minveryork

*POOF*

4:27 pm

JenMO16

i am on a pc

4:28 pm

MollyL

On a PC you highlight the word list, then right click and it should give you a drop down box that includes COPY. Click on COPY and then go to Lickety's page and follow the BULK/ADD instructions.

4:29 pm

MollyL

You have to right click in the white box and hit PASTE to add the word list there.

4:30 pm

JenMO16

ok, i m on a laptop, i just tried to move the list, but it landed on one of the boxes and all the words were in that one box!

4:31 pm

MollyL

That's right, then you click on the ADD BULK button. That puts them in the list above.

4:32 pm

JenMO16

got it, thank you! now when I add a new word, I have to put it in both of them?

4:32 pm

JenMO16

or just keep updating the bulk add?

4:34 pm

MollyL

I would just update your bulk add every ten words or so. However it works best for you.

4:34 pm

JenMO16

okay thanks!

4:35 pm

MollyL

Glad you got it figured out.

4:36 pm

JenMO16

now let's see if I can remember!

4:36 pm

lynxxx

You can do it by letter as well...if you are working on, say, the Cs, just copy that part of your Word List over to the Bulk Add

4:38 pm

torgone

You can also just use the check box on lickety when you get a word and you know where it goes

4:39 pm

JenMO16

that is what i had been doing tor, but then i got tired of using my finger on one screen to go to the other!

4:39 pm

lynxxx

hi Tor

4:39 pm

bichon

hi lynx, tor

4:40 pm

torgone

Then when you enter a word at the top, it will update your total

4:40 pm

torgone

Heyas kids ..

4:41 pm

hi Bichon

4:43 pm

bichon

Hey Peri, are you still watching Downton Abbey? If so, what have you thought of this season?

4:51 pm

periwinkle

yes, and I like it so far. are you watching it

4:51 pm

MollyL

Yes, but I have found it very boring this season.

4:52 pm

periwinkle

yes, a bit boring for some reason

4:56 pm

periwinkle

19 left and I am tired, tired in general. lots of running around today, but no shoveling. there is still some ice in back that is melting and could be pushed to the side but no one else seems bothered by it. so I will not either

4:57 pm

periwinkle

there is a mound of snow next to where I park my car which makes it hard to get in and out but it has turned to ice and I cannot move it as yet

4:58 pm

periwinkle

not caring much for the winter olympics altho I do like to watch luge and bobsled but I seem to keep missing them

4:58 pm

periwinkle

much prefer summer olympics

4:59 pm

Soodle

Well, pardon me, Peri! But that recent photo you posted on FB shows a lady who is rarin' to go! Not tired, not exhausted, but aluve, smiling & very beautiful.

5:00 pm

Soodle

Erm... AlIVe...

5:00 pm

periwinkle

Oh, thanks so much, Soodle.

5:01 pm

periwinkle

you didn't notice the wrinkles?

5:02 pm

Soodle

I'm not in the flattery business. I saw a picture of a really atteactive lady. Sheesh.

5:02 pm

periwinkle

other people have said the same thing so it must be true but that is not what I see

5:04 pm

Soodle

Peri. You are quite lovely. Get over it. Live with it.

5:04 pm

periwinkle

ok

5:05 pm

Soodle

Sunray so should be a word!@

5:28 pm

MollyL

Well you know...Enable...incomplete word list

5:29 pm

phandmd

I figured it was just 2 words rather than one, and acting petulant about it.

5:30 pm

MollyL

Other dictionaries like it.

5:30 pm

phandmd

oh, well, then I stand by my original comment!

5:31 pm

o-o

AngelSong's BABBLE Resources and Guide: "Some words that "are" real words will not be included in the Enable Dictionary, and other (sometimes "adult" or very strange) words you've never heard of will be there. It's all a part of the fun of Babble, so don't get stressed by it. Relax and just go with the flow and have fun."

5:32 pm

phandmd

Oh, I wasn't getting stressed about it. Just pretending to be 3 years old.

5:33 pm

MollyL

I didn't think you were stressed Phan.

5:33 pm

phandmd

glad you get me, Molly. :^D

5:36 pm

MollyL

And it's okay to grumble about the Enable word list. It's terribly outdated.

5:37 pm

5:42 pm

MollyL

Not a problem Phan.
We got a pot/kettle thing going on here.

5:43 pm

o-o

no, we have molly being molly

5:43 pm

phandmd

5:44 pm

Yeah, yeah. I'm not the one calling Phan
names but whatever floats your boat.

5:44 pm

5:45 pm

o-o

5:45 pm

o-o

5:45 pm

phandmd

really this all seems so trivial...

5:45 pm

MollyL

Yep, it is.

5:45 pm

o-o

it is which is what AngelSong was pointing out

5:45 pm

phandmd

It was really nice to take a walk today in the warmish sunshine.

5:46 pm

7:55 pm

Dorens

7:56 pm

Dorens

8:47 pm

8:48 pm

rururocks

8:48 pm

phandmd

I like my little Miata, it is enough zoom, zoom for me!

8:48 pm

Dorens

8:49 pm

Dorens

8:49 pm

Uneaixoise

yw :-)

8:49 pm

welki

not fair. i love it more than dorens. i want to drive it! (stick or auto?)

8:50 pm

rururocks

not sure yet welki

8:50 pm

rururocks

probably auto

8:50 pm

rururocks

we sold our property today ..

8:50 pm

Dorens

ty ru. i knew you'd let me...
welki, just because you loved it first doesn't mean you love it more.... and if you come down to visit him i'm sure he'd let you too. he is a sweetie

8:50 pm

welki

stick would be more fun, but auto might be easier

8:51 pm

Dorens

oh wow! that is great ru... decent price?

8:51 pm

Uneaixoise

congrats, ru!

8:51 pm

welki

congrats, ru

8:51 pm

rururocks

pretty good. .. it's a cash offer and a 20 day escrow

8:52 pm

Dorens

and yes welki .. that is always the case... stick is much more fun but if you're stuck in stop and go traffic... yuch
ru my audi has this sort of fake shifting thing.. it's automatic but i can sort of override it and kind of shift.. fun, but not really the real thing

8:52 pm

Dorens

cash is always good

8:53 pm

rururocks

ch 7/44 help please

8:54 pm

phandmd

Stick is the way to go in my opinion.

8:54 pm

Dorens

sorry ri, don't have that

8:55 pm

Dorens

i always liked it ph, until i was stuck in an hour or more of stop and go and got back sciatica from it. always afraid of that happening again, it was a nightmare

8:55 pm

welki

i have paddle shifters, too - not quite the same, but still fun

8:55 pm

phandmd

add a vowel to the 6/before it

8:55 pm

phandmd

then plural it for the 8

8:56 pm

welki

the car i drive now is the first auto i've had for some time - i drive rush hour traffic and it's much easier (and there's always the paddle shifters if i'm on the highway and get a wild hair)

8:56 pm

Dorens

i have that as a ch7/36?

8:56 pm

rururocks

that's not right phan

8:56 pm

rururocks

7/44 not 7/36

8:56 pm

phandmd

oh, sorry you need the u/44

8:57 pm

phandmd

umm, starts with the same first 4 ltrs + how old are you? but a different last vowel. (hope that makes sense)

8:58 pm

Dorens

got it thanks ph

8:58 pm

phandmd

great. good job

8:59 pm

rururocks

don't have it

8:59 pm

rururocks

ch4 like a train?

9:00 pm

phandmd

no. it is wise to give children jobs to do minus the last letter

9:00 pm

Dorens

david has a welsh c**** stick those letters in there with an additional vowel... play around. we've had it before

9:00 pm

rururocks

thanks

9:00 pm

rururocks

got it

9:00 pm

phandmd

yippee!

9:01 pm

9:02 pm

9:03 pm

rururocks
