3:44 am

grannyrose

night, dee, sweet dreams, hun. and lol, sprite....my hero

3:44 am

sprite

no hero about it, just not wanting to see all the lists

3:45 am

sprite

so... how are you today, my friend?

3:45 am

gapeach

Has anyone heard from Lickety? Thanks

3:46 am

grannyrose

good, again. still feeling the cold occasionally, am so excited by that

3:46 am

sprite

hi peach, Sunday, probably playing socker

3:46 am

grannyrose

and you, hun. how are you? good or bad night?

3:47 am

sprite

more sad than scary dreams, rose.

3:47 am

gapeach

Hey there, sprite. How are you?

3:47 am

grannyrose

well sad is a little improvement, unless the sadness was unbearable.

3:47 am

sprite

I am fine! How about you, peach?

3:48 am

sprite

better than the fear, rose, for sure. Breathing through the lingering feelings now.

3:48 am

gapeach

Doing ok....just need sleep.

3:48 am

grannyrose

aww, sprite, gentle hugs for you, sweetheart.

3:49 am

sprite

*sends peach a truckload of sleep*

3:50 am

sprite

lol, my grandparents would have been shocked to the core by my dreams... part of it was that my uncle, their first son, had a different father!

3:51 am

dizgrannie

FWs ty for the list, Dee

3:51 am

sprite

gz dizgrannie

3:52 am

grannyrose

WTG DIZ!!!

3:53 am

grannyrose

ugh, my last word te4, and i was so sure i had put it in...*sigh* can i blame the red boxes??

3:54 am

sprite

yes you can. Red boxes do eat words.

3:54 am

sprite

and gz rose!

4:00 am

sprite

and there came a squirrel and took rose away...

4:01 am

grannyrose

sorry, potty stop, and drink empty, and i am back. xoxox

4:02 am

sprite

lol :) I knew it. welcome back, my friend

4:02 am

grannyrose

lovely. i like to see you laugh. from your pic you have the most amazing smile.

4:03 am

sprite

can you imagine, rose, my very prim and proper grandparents' faces if they knew I had dreamt their first son was a bastard?

4:03 am

sprite

aw rose, thanks darling.

4:05 am

grannyrose

sweetheart, nothing would surprise me....firstly, when my ex and his brother wanted to set up a party for their parents 50th anniversary, they found that said parents only married years af5 the second kid was born. so when i call him a bastard, i am stating a fact.

4:06 am

grannyrose

secondly, you never know what skeletons are in the family closet.

4:06 am

sprite

*giggles* Well in my case it is just a dream. They all resemble my grandfather and grandmother very much.

4:06 am

sprite

oh that is so true, rose. You wouldn't believe the things that surface in family constellations as well. Very interesting, grin.

4:07 am

grannyrose

oh, did i mention, when cleaning out mother mac's room, we found out that don's supposed 1/2 brother is actually his full brother? we haven't told fang yet...not sure if we are gonna do it.

4:08 am

sprite

oh wow! How did that happen? The other way around would be easier to explain. Isn't he entitled to more of the inheritance as a full child?

4:09 am

grannyrose

the will was explicit, divide equally among the 4 kids, regardless of their parentage..

4:09 am

sprite

ah, lovely, well done mother mac

4:10 am

sprite

does he know, himself, rose?

4:10 am

grannyrose

sprite, it is such a mixed family i have married into. fang and her sister, both full sisters, by their father who was married to another woman.

4:11 am

sprite

ah ok. I can see how that becomes confusing quickly.

4:11 am

grannyrose

then their father divorced their mother and married don's mother. don's father was married to the sister of don's mother's husband...are you still with me??

4:12 am

sprite

I am, but barely, lolol

4:12 am

grannyrose

*settling sprite's eyes back into their sockets*

4:13 am

sprite

I would say the only one it really matters to, is the full son himself

4:13 am

sprite

ah, thanks darling, that is better

4:13 am

grannyrose

try this, a brother and sister married another brother and sister. is that better?

4:14 am

sprite

*grin* Got to that point, yes.

4:15 am

grannyrose

then don's parents, before he was born, barely, were divorced from their spouses. mother mac pregnant at the time with don's older brother, by don's father.

4:16 am

sprite

ah, right. So that is a full child, no matter the divorce.

4:16 am

grannyrose

yes, sprite, b ut he doesn't know, lawrence, that is.and neither does fang or her sister.

4:17 am

grannyrose

we , don and i, are only the ones who know for certain.

4:17 am

sprite

don't know if Fang should know. But I think lawrence should. It makes a difference to know for sure who your parents are.

4:19 am

grannyrose

agreed...and imh opinion, fang and her sister deserve nothing. i think the whole estate should be only between lawrence and don. seeing as don's father left mother mac penniless except for the family home.

4:20 am

sprite

sounds like it would be fair. But the will states otherwise and that is all there is to it, I think. But just for... you know, knowing who you are and what your roots are... Lawrence should know. And receive the proof.

4:23 am

grannyrose

good advice, sprite. and where do you think our pugs is? i do hope it means she is having a lovely sleep in. she slept 7 hours yesterday.

4:23 am

sprite

I hope so too! Miss seeing her, but so happy if she can sleep well.

4:24 am

rubyfoo

good morning, ladies! Another gorgeous day for making more jam. Now Burt is picking currants (Sprite's old job) tto save my aching back

4:25 am

grannyrose

yeah, and the abdo binder i suggested is helping both of her physical issues.

4:25 am

sprite

morning ruby. That is great. Gives him something to do and will make him feel useful. *hugs*

4:25 am

sprite

that is awesome, rose. Such good advice you give.

4:25 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and kisses, ruby. hello dear

4:29 am

rubyfoo

nbt!

4:29 am

sprite

well done ruby

4:29 am

grannyrose

yay you ruby

4:34 am

grannyrose

sprite, you done yet?

4:34 am

sprite

almost, rose. Getting there. Last part is hard, lol.

4:35 am

grannyrose

yeah, 9 x 9's. and 18 x 8's. my eyes nearly fell out of theor sockets.

4:35 am

grannyrose

*their*

4:36 am

sprite

and you know how I am with biggies, grin. Well, at least I got the 9s and 10s now. The loch monster ending helped a lot.

4:36 am

grannyrose

but the blessing is.....no y words...*giggle*

4:36 am

sprite

:D

4:36 am

grannyrose

yeah, it is the most ut!!

4:36 am

ChrissieDee

And not a k in sight

4:36 am

ChrissieDee

Hi ladies

4:37 am

sprite

hey ChrissieD :) Indeed. Won't hear me complain about this grid.

4:37 am

grannyrose

lolol....chrissie. and g'day to you, dear. frogface did get back to me.

4:38 am

ChrissieDee

She was very sorry that you'd been upset rose

4:38 am

ChrissieDee

A big thank you from me for supporting her

4:38 am

grannyrose

awww, chrissie. please tell her no stress. just feeling on her behalf. and worzel's.

4:39 am

sprite

everybody should take a deep breath and relax. Crossy is joso, frogface is sprite, worzel is negativeneil and I am rose. We are all one. It is transcendental.

4:39 am

ChrissieDee

And to sprite and pug for "friending" her. Don't do facebook myself

4:39 am

rubyfoo

and I am ruru

4:40 am

ChrissieDee

Who can I be sprite? :)

4:40 am

sprite

well, I have had my doubts too, Chrissie, am not gonna pretend I didn't. Some of us have been hurt badly before and are careful.

4:40 am

sprite

Let me think... would you like to be rose?

4:41 am

sprite

if you want to be rose, I will be puglet and puglet can be you!

4:41 am

sprite

rururubyfoo, lol

4:41 am

ChrissieDee

That sounds good

4:41 am

rubyfoo

and I am gone, xx ladies

4:41 am

grannyrose

OMG....sprite. i am ROFLOL and LOLOL. you are so naughty...

4:42 am

sprite

ikr :) And you love me for it

4:42 am

grannyrose

*hands sprite the wooden spoon* my hat is off to you. you are the master stirrer.

4:43 am

grannyrose

or mistress stirrer, take your pick...

4:43 am

sprite

well only in fun, rose. I'd hate to stir up trouble for real.

4:46 am

grannyrose

oh, sprite...if a person's se5 of who they are is so muddled up, they deserve to be teased about it. i have the hide of a rhinosceros...as you well know. the only thing which penetrates it, is a cheap shot at my friendship.

4:48 am

sprite

rose, I know you don't have such a hide at all. But you have a lot of healthy common se5 and a good se5 of self.

4:48 am

ChrissieDee

The only hoax I know about is nancyboy, but I get the feeling there have been others. Don't blame anyone for being cautious but don't care for snide comments and people putting their own overactive paranoia on others and hurting them

4:49 am

sprite

nancyboy, JC, Frank, Angel, to name a few. Also some money deal that went south and didn't reach the intended person.

4:49 am

grannyrose

*smooch sprite* and chrissie, as far as i am concerned...what you see is what you get. full stop...

4:50 am

grannyrose

and chrissie...put it down to very bad manners, and a complete lack of understanding of others.

4:51 am

ChrissieDee

Will do rose

4:52 am

grannyrose

btw, lamb chops are in the grill, and vegies are in the steamer...i may have to disappear quickly....but...i will be back...lol. watch this space.

4:53 am

sprite

lol rose! *hugs* and have a lovely dinner and evening with Don, in case I am done before you come back.

4:54 am

ChrissieDee

Need to get into the shower, so I'm away too. Have a good day sprite and bon appetite rose

4:54 am

sprite

ah man, missed the volcano AND the hawaiian goose. Shame on me.

4:54 am

sprite

bye Chrissie, have a lovely day and a peaceful night.

4:55 am

grannyrose

lol, chrissie. give my love to diane. and of course, yourself, too

5:05 am

sprite

ah, there they are... lost some words but didn't notice it was hiccup time

5:09 am

good morning everyone:)

5:09 am

how are you and the lovely mrs Elegant?

5:10 am

crosshair

we are both fine, as is my lazy slug of a son. how are you and yours?

5:11 am

sprite

about the same, lolol. Including the lazy slug of a son.

5:17 am

sprite

4 left, pffff

5:19 am

fi4flies. *hugs* crossy!
And to all a blessed day and a peaceful night.

((mimi))

5:24 am

crosshair

yaaa for sprite!!

5:25 am

MimiCat

Mega grid today!

5:26 am

crosshair

yes, a big fat grid for a Sunday afternoon. A rare treat

5:26 am

MimiCat

Wow..is it afternoon already?!! Time sure flies.

5:27 am

crosshair

for a sunday, still only 06:30 here

5:28 am

MimiCat

It's only 3:30 here....I woke up an hour ago and gave up trying to go back to sleep. I think I'm a bit tense regarding my court date on Tues.

5:29 am

crosshair

ahh is this for the Disability?

5:30 am

crosshair

need some help with the lone i in the bottom right corner please

5:30 am

MimiCat

Yes. Two-year hassle. You know all about that! Anyway, hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. It's not a huge settlement but it would allow me to invest for my future and have a little mad money as well.

5:31 am

sukee

Good morning.

5:31 am

MimiCat

I also found a house I'd really like to buy but doubt I'll qualify for even though I can afford it. It's up on the Mogollon Rim in Payson so I'd finally get out of this heat and the dirt of the city.

5:31 am

MimiCat

Morning, sukee.

5:33 am

crosshair

any money is good money and if it eases things in the home budget, it is all good. I have been to court many, many times, mimi, and the only advice i can give is bring your paperwork, every last scrap of it and have it all organized. The judges love documentation. Number 2 is keep everything as short and sweet and direct as you can. They hate long stories and having their time wasted.

5:35 am

Dianne

crossy in4

5:35 am

MimiCat

My lawyer has everything organized and has already sent me a 3-page document detailing how I should behave, say and not say, dress, etc. They get 25% but I stand a much better chance having them there. They only do this type of litigation and have been in business a long time. No complaints against them either.

5:36 am

crosshair

yes. good plan. defending yourself is hard if you do not know all the procedures and protocols

5:37 am

crosshair

ty, dianne. I should of known; the hairy nosed dolphin:(

5:37 am

MimiCat

This is trickier than a straight disability case since I am no longer disabled and am trying to recoup the money they should have paid me when I was. I get the feeling they don't much like giving money for the past but I really want it on principle...not having that money when I needed almost literally killed me.

5:37 am

Dianne

yw crossy

5:39 am

crosshair

well. It is what was due you at the time and you deserve it. I had the same issue with workmans compensation once and they had to pay all the retroactive ammounts that were due to me.

5:39 am

crosshair

because of thier lapse, I went into debt when my need was highest

5:41 am

MimiCat

Exactly right. I was very close to suicide only because I had no way to support myself and had to rely on family and friends. For a control freak like me, that is the WORST. But I am lucky to have people who do love me and are then when I'm in need. It is good to know that.

5:43 am

MLFAN17

2nd column E stats please?

5:43 am

sukee

I was "lucky" when I was laid off. I was old enough to be allowed to take half of my pension out to live on. Now I am on disability and doing some part time writing work.

5:43 am

crosshair

you can add to this case on the ground of mental duress and extended costs over the cost of the recuperation time

5:43 am

grannyrose

and g'day from me to mimi. sukee and crossy. my workcover/workman's insurance is being such an a-hole. they are trying to push me past the point their own doctor says i should be...go figure

5:44 am

crosshair

howdy, Rose and Sukee

5:44 am

MLFAN17

gm cross, granny and sukee and mimi

5:44 am

grannyrose

en5, to go on a register as in the army, or school

5:44 am

MimiCat

((rose)) We work all our lives and this is how we're treated....disgraceful.

5:45 am

crosshair

well, log it all, Rose if by their own haste they put you in a position where you can no longer work, then it is their fault and not yours

5:45 am

grannyrose

yeah, mimi...you said it...i have woked since before i was 18, more or less full time...

5:45 am

crosshair

howdy MLF

5:48 am

MimiCat

I am too awake for 3:45 in the morning.

5:48 am

MLFAN17

cross problem most times i type too fast

5:50 am

grannyrose

5:50 am

MLFAN17

do we have a list?

5:51 am

grannyrose

in volleymomdee's profile

5:52 am

MLFAN17

volley isnt on here right now

5:53 am

MLFAN17

but molly has a list:)

5:53 am

sukee

Going to see how far I can go without a list.

5:53 am

MimiCat

Breaking my brain to see there are 12 q words...

5:53 am

grannyrose

mlf, go to rankings, see above. when it opens, click on edit, then find. a small window will open in the left corner. type in volley's name. click on that, her profile will open.

5:53 am

sukee

I know mimi, and I can only see 5 so far

5:53 am

MLFAN17

mimi i agree i have 2 of those so far

5:54 am

MLFAN17

granny i never knew that

5:54 am

grannyrose

molly probably copied from volley's profile.

5:54 am

MimiCat

I have 3...I think that's the best I'll do. I am, after all, an underachiever in Babble.

5:54 am

grannyrose

mlf, try it and see

5:55 am

sukee

Have 7 now

5:55 am

grannyrose

awww, mimi, you are never an underachiever, hun.

5:55 am

MLFAN17

i have 4 now

5:55 am

MLFAN17

will try it later thanks granny

5:56 am

grannyrose

lips and fingers zipped, until i am asked for help

5:57 am

MLFAN17

lol no need granny i always need your help in here

5:57 am

MimiCat

I do this for fun only and to talk to all you great people. Taking it seriously and listing is too much like work for me so I give up easily. I'll never have fireworks but at least I have serenity.

5:57 am

grannyrose

*giggle* mlf

5:58 am

grannyrose

nice, mimi...like your style, hun

5:58 am

MLFAN17

i have had fireworks more often now then i ever have

5:59 am

MimiCat

I just wish my cats would understand that when I get up this early it is MY time, not theirs! They think if I wake up I should feed them early and play. Not quite in the mood yet.

5:59 am

MLFAN17

mimi sounds like most cats lol

6:00 am

sukee

My cat has learned, he get me up early, I feed him give him water. He goes into the bedroom and takes over the bed.

6:00 am

MimiCat

After the past 3 weeks, they should be hanging their heads in shame. My arms are still not working right but at least the new computer is nice.

6:00 am

MLFAN17

so true of so many cats sukee

6:02 am

grannyrose

cats are so clever. they learn very early how to manage the humans in their lives...

6:02 am

MimiCat

My Dodger goes crazy twice a day wanting to be fed (even though they have dry food down all the time) and then half the time he turns his nose up at the food...feline schizophrenia.

6:02 am

MLFAN17

which isnt always a good thing

6:03 am

MimiCat

You're so right, rose...this is really their apt. but they allow me to live here.

6:03 am

MLFAN17

did it take you long to figure that out mimi?:)

6:04 am

MimiCat

No...I've had cats most of my life but I used to be gone more. Now I'm being held hostage here by my three....but they are the most affectionate cats I've ever had. They were all strays.

6:05 am

MLFAN17

That is so wonderful Mimi:)

6:05 am

MimiCat

Of course, I'm less than thrilled when they decide to chase each other OVER MY SLEEPING BODY at 2 am!

6:06 am

MLFAN17

stay under the blankets mimi

6:06 am

MimiCat

Can't...too hot...I'm just a general mess, ML!!

6:07 am

grannyrose

naughty cats, mimi...spray bottle filled with water is usually a good deterant.

6:07 am

MLFAN17

mimi know the feeling. Hubby and i sleep on a foam matress and it when a/c isnt on it gets so hot in here

6:08 am

MLFAN17

granny i have heard that but some cats dont learn

6:08 am

MimiCat

Oh, yes, rose...I have a very large spray bottle.

6:08 am

MimiCat

My heat is hormonally based...just awful. God does not like old women.

6:08 am

grannyrose

mimi, mlf, look up central sensitivity syndrome/disorder. it might ring some bells.

6:09 am

MLFAN17

really granny why?

6:09 am

MimiCat

Doing so right now, rose....back in a minute.

6:10 am

grannyrose

i had never heard of it, until a few weeks ago. it explains so much of what i have been enduring.

6:11 am

MLFAN17

part of fibromyalgia

6:11 am

grannyrose

i have slept in shorty pj's and just a sheet for the last 5 years. went thru the menopause nearly 30 years ago...so i knew this was something different.

6:11 am

MLFAN17

sorry for spelling

6:11 am

MimiCat

I don't have the fibromyalgia so much anymore.

6:12 am

MLFAN17

6:12 am

My cardiologist is convinced I need to get my hormones balanced and then I'll also be able to lose weight. Just got my Obamacare insurance so will be going soon. You know the saying...sick and tired of being sick and tired.

6:13 am

grannyrose

mlf, np's. spelling okay...then mlf, sounds like your's is hormonal then. mimi....any thing untoward happened lately...that could have triggered FM again?

6:16 am

MimiCat

I had a hysterectomy at 42 but they left the ovaries. Have had some hormone problems ever since. I think the extra weight is the basis for most of my issues...don't even know how that happened since I'm not at all a bad eater and not an emotional eater. Hormones.

6:16 am

MimiCat

Going to go to doctor and get a full body estimate. Just going to walk in a say "My body is a train wreck...FIX IT!"

6:18 am

grannyrose

nice, sukee, well done

6:21 am

grannyrose

mimi, having said that. i have noticed a few times lately, i have actually felt cold...it was amazing.

6:21 am

MimiCat

I think once I can get the weight down, many of my issues will go away. Will always have the heart damage, unfortunately, but that alone doesn't incapacitate me. I'm one tough old broad!

6:21 am

MimiCat

Would love to feel cold...that's only a memory.

6:22 am

grannyrose

yeah!! ain't that the truth, mimi!!

6:22 am

MimiCat

If I can get that house in the mts., I'm sure I'll feel better for many reasons.

8:58 am

crosshair

â€œTwenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.â€
â€• H. Jackson Brown Jr

very appropriate thought - thnx crossy

9:00 am

My life didn't work out the way I wanted but I am glad I moved out west, then back to Ontario and that I ended up where I am now. I would still be pretty miserable if I hadn't changed things up.

9:23 am

MLFAN17

MLFAN17

ooops

9:23 am

9:24 am

MLFAN17

iowa has to be in there somewhere uusue

uusue2

Yes, and Kansas. Neither is the flattest, though.

9:24 am

MLFAN17

9:25 am

wvteach

what is the flattest?

9:25 am

uusue2

lots of mountains in Wyoming

9:25 am

uusue2

Florida is the flattest

9:25 am

crosshair

I either needs lots of mountains or lots of water to be content

9:25 am

MLFAN17

uusue but lots of mountains in wv ass well

9:26 am

MLFAN17

9:27 am

MLFAN17

sure do wv

9:27 am

uusue2

9:28 am

MLFAN17

9:28 am

9:29 am

MLFAN17

9:33 am

Sometimes I find the birds dead from a broken neck, but the last two were stunned and needed comfort.

I absolutely hated math word problems when I was in school. My answer of choice was always WHO CARES?

11:45 am

rururocks

me too.. I was terrible at math

11:46 am

Judi

Ditto.

11:46 am

Algebra meant absolutely nothing to me

I cracked algebra. The rest of it left me twisting in the wind.

11:48 am

rubyfoo

because I liked algebra and other high school math, I tried to be a math major in college and couldn't "get" calculus. Changed majors tout de suite

11:48 am

MollyL

Look, see. Christa just did a math word problem with that less than 3 thing. : O

11:48 am

Judi

I think calculus was created to confound the entire human race.

11:48 am

MollyL

Oh my God, Calculus. Sines and tangents and cosines, oh my!

11:49 am

rubyfoo

it was like a foreign language to me; I needed a tutor to get a D

11:49 am

MollyL

And then you go to the teacher for help, and they explain the problem you don't get like it's a first grader sentence.

11:50 am

MollyL

See the sine. See the sine run from the tangent. Run, sine, run!

11:50 am

12:30 pm

MollyL

Lickety's list is supposed to update automatically. But apparently there is some problem with Saturday. In the event that Lickety does not update, VolleyMomDee creates a list. I share her list as well. Share, not "copy"...I always give Dee credit.

12:30 pm

Ok Thanks

12:54 pm

bichon

ruby, I don't think I told you, but I had a breast biopsy done on Thurs. and am awaiting the results

12:54 pm

ursh

Hi Ruby ty for kind thoughts - does cutting the long hair off not spoil the coat in the long run ??

12:54 pm

rubyfoo

12:55 pm

rubyfoo

{{bichon}} I didn't know. Ho long 'til you have the result

12:55 pm

I have my spaniel cut short for our hot summers and in the winter when it grows it is quite wooly and not sleek like a spaniel should be

my wife hated the one time she went to Florida as well. Said there was a thin film of soot all over everything and the first responder sirens blared 24/7 but it may have just beed that particular area

2:17 pm

well.. we have to brag about something Molly :D

2:18 pm

crosshair

lol our snowbirds dropping like flies

2:19 pm

MollyL

I don't get people who make hundred mile trips to avoid the cold weather. If you don't like the cold weather, why not move somewhere warm?

2:20 pm

sukee

I wish I could move somewhere warmer, like Bermuda.

2:20 pm

crosshair

My F.I.L used to make that trip every winter. Could never see the attraction

2:21 pm

crosshair

My brother did it the smart way; he just moved to Costa Rica for 5 years. Problem is he is now stationed in Vegas and he is curing himself like a fine saddle in that climate lol

2:22 pm

rururocks

Vegas is another place I'd never live

2:22 pm

MollyL

He is stationed in Vegas? Is he in the military?

2:22 pm

sukee

I'd spend to much time in the casinos :)

2:22 pm

MollyL

I don't get the attraction of Vegas at all.

2:22 pm

Uneaixoise

crosshair

no, no. Nothing so purposeful. He works international poker security for Poker Stars

2:23 pm

I never have been to Vegas and have absolutely no interest ever going there.

2:24 pm

they move him around as various gambling laws require i suppose

2:24 pm

Is there a clue for the se 10? I think I have the start of it but don't know how it ends

2:24 pm

crosshair

I am not a gambler.

2:24 pm

rururocks

the most calm sukee

2:24 pm

rururocks

me neither.. I never gamble

2:25 pm

Uneaixoise

me neither

2:25 pm

rururocks

my parents were addicted to gambling.. so hence it never appealed to me

2:25 pm

crosshair

I play a single three dollar lottery ticket a month. If that does not do it, then I do not need it.

2:25 pm

MollyL

Never found the attraction of gambling.

2:25 pm

sukee

I stick to slots

2:25 pm

MollyL

Oh, lottery I do, I meant casino gambling.

2:25 pm

Uneaixoise

have never bought a lottery ticket . . .

2:26 pm

rururocks

had to take a double take at that post sukee :D

2:26 pm

Uneaixoise

not a risk taker

2:26 pm

crosshair

I went to casino rama once the first year it opened. went in with 200, came out with 200 and free lunch.. was not my thing i decided

2:26 pm

rururocks

it'd be great if Molly won the lottery

2:27 pm

MollyL

What is the risk in a 1 or 2 dollar bet? It's fun and it allows you to dream for a bit.

2:27 pm

sukee

still can't get it.

2:27 pm

crosshair

as molly says. a single ticket once in a while allows one to dream

2:27 pm

rururocks

picture a calm lake sukee

2:28 pm

MollyL

6 word that comes from God grant me the....plus the ending that everyone keeps mentioning

2:28 pm

rururocks

If I'm going to dream it isn't about a lottery :D

2:28 pm

Uneaixoise

just doesn't appeal to me, Molly . . . and it really bothers me to see people buying lottery tix who are barely making it financially month to month

2:28 pm

Uneaixoise

i see that at my little local grocery all the time . . . sigh

2:28 pm

rururocks

I know.. I see it too une.. it is really sad

2:28 pm

sukee

got it.

2:29 pm

Uneaixoise

yay sukee!!

2:29 pm

MollyL

Buying an occasional lottery ticket is not the people who spend too much money playing the numbers.

2:29 pm

crosshair

they buy that ticket to dream; even if it is to dream of not doing their entire grocery list from the dented can bin. i can understand the thought behind it

2:29 pm

rururocks

I'm a lotto virgin

2:30 pm

Uneaixoise

me too ru! LOL!

2:30 pm

sukee

It is the state of se, not more so :)

Nothing breaks my heart. I look forward to every day as a new adventure.

4:20 pm

Soodle

What a lovely name, Savannah. I wish her well in her mermaid activities. It astonishes me how many of my age-group are unable to swim.

4:23 pm

Soodle

I am able to swim. I can get from A to B in the water. It's not pretty. There is a lot of splashing, gasping and my face turns an unappealing shade of red, but I eventually get where I want to go... LOL

4:23 pm

Sorry Nancy.I don't have it. I'm such a klutz, I was googling Connecticut, to see if it had a coastline, to see if Savannah would be learning to swim in the ocean or in a pool.

4:46 pm

Soodle

Me, I learned to swim in the Atlantic ocean, when I was a kid and we used to go to Kerry on holidays.

4:47 pm

bichon

I learned to swim in the Atlantic too. Grew up at the beach

4:47 pm

Soodle

We may have swam in the same water, Bich!!

Anniebrook

7:50 pm

westford

hi ru

7:50 pm

rururocks

I think Dinner was more expensive than the tickets though :D

7:50 pm

rururocks

that's mostly because doren has a penchant for expensive burgundies :D

7:51 pm

Anniebrook

Are you saying dinner was more than $1200?

7:51 pm

rururocks

um.. yes

7:51 pm

Anniebrook

rururocks

8:02 pm

Dorens

8:03 pm

MimiCat

I am positively GREEN with envy!

8:03 pm

Dorens

I'm going back there next month.. volunteering at a concert in Madison Square Park right nearby, so at the very least i'll treat myself to a drink and snack in the library. and think fondly of you, ru

8:06 pm

rururocks

8:06 pm

rururocks

8:07 pm

rururocks

I'd go out to a NICE restaurant with you

8:07 pm

Dorens

8:07 pm

rururocks

I just had a hamburger here at home on Friday.. sometimes I crave them

8:09 pm

Dorens

i'm due for one. i only eat beef rarely, but it is about time. wednesday is the last day of school, maybe i'll celebrate with a nice juicy rare burger.

8:10 pm

rururocks

8:11 pm

Dorens

8:12 pm

Dorens

8:12 pm

rururocks

lemon, olive oil, garlic, herbs de provence, Honey, and salt and people

8:12 pm

rururocks

pepper that is LOL

8:13 pm

Dorens

11:25 pm

Uneaixoise

11:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

in10 is an in6 (a quialty that's built in) plus the suffix we just mentioned

11:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

11:26 pm

Uneaixoise

11:26 pm

I have that ending 10 times, so far

11:45 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

just found another with the suffix, weeee

11:45 pm

rastapopolous

I've always wondered why that goose can't be pluralized. Does hawaiian not use plurals? or is the plural the same as the singular, like sheep?

11:46 pm

rastapopolous

I just got another one, too, so up to 11 now

11:47 pm

dcseain

i've wondered that a lot about that goose, too, rasta

11:51 pm

rastapopolous

12!

11:51 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i think it's because hawaiian words don't take an S for a plural. not sure if that have no plural (that's a different question)

11:52 pm
