4:53 am

crosshair

good morning everyone

5:10 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Crossy :-)

5:10 am

crosshair

ahh, there is life:))

5:11 am

zoozzoom

lol Had to grab another cup of tea!

5:12 am

crosshair

mmm... tea.. I shall have to put the kettle on once my eyes are working properly. darn cat woke me up at 05;30 :(

5:12 am

zoozzoom

The cheek of it..lol

5:13 am

crosshair

the evil creature was biting my fingers

5:13 am

zoozzoom

Aww sounds like he/she wanted to play!

5:14 am

crosshair

he wants breakfast

5:14 am

crosshair

woke up yesterday to the kitty groomin my beard

5:14 am

zoozzoom

LOL

5:15 am

crosshair

had his nose buried right proper in my beard and was trying to part it down the middle i think

5:15 am

zoozzoom

Animals can be so annoying but you still love em!

5:16 am

crosshair

he means no harm. Is actually the most affectionate cat we have ever had

5:17 am

zoozzoom

How old is he now?

5:21 am

crosshair

he is about 8

5:21 am

crosshair

he is a resuce shelter adoption, so exact age is unknown

5:23 am

zoozzoom

Glad you took in a rescue.They are screaming out for adoptions over here.

5:31 am

crosshair

all three of our cats are rescue cats. As you say, with so many waiting for adoption, why bother going to a breeder?

5:32 am

crosshair

they all come with clean health certificate, they are all fixes, given all shots, and microchipped for about 100 dollars

5:32 am

crosshair

fixed*

5:33 am

zoozzoom

Yes it is a shame humans can not be more responsible with their pets. I understand there are some instances when it can not be helped but many people use pets as a throw away item when the novelty factor wears off. Such a shame.

5:34 am

crosshair

some local knitting group knit cat-bed blankets that are given with each adoptions as well. is a very nice touch

5:34 am

crosshair

it is a shame:(

5:35 am

crosshair

The knitting group is actually kept very busy, they also knit little hats for preemies at our local hospital

5:36 am

zoozzoom

That is very kind of them! Do you still have the blanket?

5:36 am

crosshair

yes, I am looking at it right now. It is a must for him and is in his current cat bed

5:37 am

zoozzoom

That is so nice :-)

5:37 am

crosshair

when he was young he had seperation anxiety after being with all those young cats in the shelter, so we had to set him up for sleep with a teddy bear the first 6 months or so

5:39 am

zoozzoom

Aww sad but necessary for the poor little fella. Glad he is over that bad period in his life. Good to know he is in a good home now :-)

5:43 am

crosshair

he is the king of all he surveys now. Our training (mine and the mrs) is coming along fine

5:50 am

sukee

Good morning

5:52 am

crosshair

howdy, sukee

5:53 am

sukee

Got woken up by a cat too, like every day :)

5:53 am

zoozzoom

Sorry I nipped over to iron sudoku and had a dabble at that.

5:53 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Sukee :-)

5:53 am

sukee

Hi

5:54 am

zoozzoom

I still need three Fs which are hiding from me pretty well..lol

5:56 am

zoozzoom

hope you both enjoyed Canada day the other day :-)

5:56 am

sukee

Sure, it was a nice day

5:56 am

crosshair

It was very nice. Had a bbq and went for a bit of a hike in the woods

5:57 am

sukee

My day was less active, I watch the Blue Jays on tv :)

5:58 am

zoozzoom

Blue jays? The onnly blue jays I have heard of are birds.

5:58 am

sukee

Baseball team

5:58 am

zoozzoom

I might go for a walk through the woods today, Crossy, If the weather holds out that is.

5:59 am

zoozzoom

Oh haha sorry, Sukee!

5:59 am

zoozzoom

Did they win?

5:59 am

sukee

They did actually

5:59 am

zoozzoom

YaY! nice one.

6:00 am

zoozzoom

Ooh the formula one has started for qualifying on TV. Nice to see you both take care and hope to see you again soon.Toodle pips!

6:01 am

sukee

Have a good one. I'm going to turn on tennis if I can find it.

6:03 am

sukee

Sigh, just checked. Wimbledon used to be on "regular" TV. Now it's only on a cable station I don't get any more. At least i can watch online.

6:07 am

doseffing

... you don't get TSN? It is in the regular cable package. ... And you might check the NBC station from Buffalo but I'm not certain about that one. They've had the final in the past

6:08 am

sukee

No, went to basic cable. I only get sportsnet.

6:08 am

sukee

I remember watching it on NBC but couldn't find anything in the listings.

6:13 am

sukee

Just reading, it's only on ESPN in the US now. Oh well, I'll try and catch some online.

6:14 am

crosshair

I tossed my cable totally a year ago now. best thing I ever did:)

6:14 am

PMS

does not start until 2 pm BST ie about 1 hour 45 mins from now

6:15 am

sukee

ty

6:15 am

crosshair

so far it has saved me $1080.00

6:15 am

crosshair

plus tax

6:16 am

sukee

You know, when I went to basic cable they charged me $50 to change it?

6:16 am

sukee

They reinstalled it, yeah, right, they flipped a switch :)

6:16 am

sukee

I may eventually get rid of it completely

6:17 am

crosshair

I got very tired of it, sukee. I was paying 90 dollars a month plus tax for the basic and the next teir up. Out of all those channels, there were about 6 that i enjoyed. the cost was just too much for what i was getting in return

6:17 am

sukee

That is why I went basic.

6:17 am

sukee

i have phone, internet, cable all on one.

6:17 am

crosshair

now i Use Netflix, hulu and cracke for my viewing pleasure and there are sites also for news and sports

6:18 am

crosshair

oh and i use discovery channel a lot as well, but i stream it direct

6:20 am

crosshair

I bought a 51 inch "smart" tv that grabs the signal wirelessly driectly from my computer modem. That was paid for in the first 6 months with money i saved from the cable

6:20 am

sukee

Lately I have just been watching oldie tv shows and baseball :) I do like having PBS though.

6:21 am

sukee

Is it just me, or is this a tough grid?

6:21 am

crosshair

I am just getting going on it so time will tell;)

6:22 am

crosshair

love this 24 inch wide screen monitor. I have babble running on the left side and my novel-in-progress up in a different window on the right side

6:23 am

sukee

Nice, I have a dinky lap top :)

6:23 am

sukee

Well, 17 inch, not that bad :)

6:26 am

sukee

Sigh, have to give the cat new food. I put more out last night for him but he won't eat it after a certain time.

6:26 am

crosshair

no, I need the split-screen so i can write and do research at same time:).. well babble is my research atm:)

6:29 am

sukee

I find babble is a great warmup to any writing :)

6:31 am

crosshair

it is now as much part of my day and my first cup of tea

6:31 am

sukee

Yep, me too.

6:32 am

crosshair

as my*

6:42 am

sukee

So, I got accepted to provincial disability coverage. But, according to the federal program i am not disabled enough and they turned me down. At least i will continue with the provincial coverage.

6:43 am

sukee

Would rather not have either, but that is the way it is.

6:45 am

crosshair

Applying for disability is a rough go. I and my wife fought with them for 10 years to get her approved

6:46 am

crosshair

and the doctors seem to take great delight in boucing the paperwork back and forth for a year or 2 then not filling it out right so you have to reapply over and over

6:47 am

sukee

I do some part-time work which is okay with the provincial program (they actually pay me extra because of it) but because I earn money the federal won't cover me, regardless that I paid into it most of my life.

6:47 am

crosshair

bouncing

6:47 am

sukee

I had to bug and bug and bug my doctor to sent the federal forms.

6:47 am

Jayk

crossy--how do you do that thing with the tv? we have a smart tv too but we are also paying a bloody fortune for comcast cable

6:48 am

crosshair

my wife is legally blind. She has an eye specialist , but disability demanded that the paperwork be filled out by our family doctor who had no idea of her case with her eyes. that too a year, then the paperwork was bounced back due to not enough info and only then were we allowed to have the eye doc fill it out. that took time as well

6:49 am

crosshair

jayk. I stream netflix directly from my internet for $6.99 a month. Crackle and Hulu are free as is discovery channel programmes from their home web site

6:50 am

Jayk

do the modem and the tv have to be in the same room?

6:50 am

crosshair

the internet is my source for all programmes, no cable needed other than to transmit the internet

6:50 am

crosshair

no, they do not

6:51 am

Jayk

hm...but then how do you get tv channels?

6:51 am

crosshair

that is the beauty of the smart tv. no wires to run

6:51 am

Jayk

time to read the manual, sigh

6:52 am

crosshair

I get local programming from our nearbye channels, but not traditional tv channels like you are thinking of

6:52 am

Jayk

ah. THAT would be a problem

6:52 am

crosshair

you have to get out of the mindset of "tv channels" you now source your viewing directly

6:53 am

sukee

Cat throw up alert... at least it was not on my bad and not too messy :)

6:53 am

Jayk

yeah, but what if you wanted, i don't know, the food network? you're stuch, right?

6:53 am

crosshair

it is not channels anymore. it is more like selecting exactly what you wish to watch.

6:53 am

crosshair

sigh, I am intimate with hairballs and cat vomit:(

6:54 am

Jayk

aren't we all?

6:54 am

sukee

I know, I wanted Space but it's not on basic cable. So, I have an IP cloaker and I can watch BBC programs from their website.

6:54 am

Jayk

an IP cloaker?

6:55 am

sukee

Just something that hides where you are actually from. This one lets you choose UK, US, whatever

6:55 am

crosshair

yes, jayk it does not work quite in that way. You have to retrain yourself as to viewing habits. For example, If you like house. you use netflix to watch every single episode back to back if you wish. If you like pawn stars, you instead stream it directly from the history channel

6:55 am

sukee

That way I can also watch US shows on their websites.

6:55 am

crosshair

I use an ip cloaker for Hulu

6:55 am

Jayk

how do you get this cloaker?

6:55 am

sukee

I do that for Netflix too :)

6:55 am

crosshair

since us lowly canadians are not usually allowed Hulu

6:56 am

sukee

Yes, I use if for Spotify too

6:56 am

sukee

That is for music.

6:56 am

crosshair

Tor browser

6:56 am

Jayk

tor browser? this is a whole new language...

6:56 am

crosshair

but it is not a regular thing for me. i have such a massive list of things I want to watch on netflix, I will never get through it all

6:57 am

sukee

I have Hola as an extention on my browser.

6:57 am

crosshair

we wathc maybe 5 hours of programs a week...tops

6:57 am

crosshair

watch

6:57 am

sukee

Okay, 96 left. Going to make breakfast

6:58 am

sukee

See you later.

6:58 am

crosshair

I pick a movie one day, the wife picks the next and we generally have a series running as well

6:58 am

crosshair

tc sukee

6:59 am

crosshair

That is the beauty of dumping cable for net streaming. You watch exactly what you want, when you want and your entertainment life no longer has to revolve around tv

7:00 am

crosshair

there is some transition growing pains though. We as a culture are so ingrained by the tv companies to whatch it on their timetable, not ours.

7:00 am

crosshair

watch

7:00 am

crosshair

that is changing

7:01 am

crosshair

cable tv, is fast becoming a dinosaur

8:04 am

sukee

Hi MLF

8:08 am

crosshair

mmm...breakfast.. My main meal fo the day:)

8:08 am

sukee

Good clues in here :) Got 2.

8:08 am

MLFAN17

it should be everyone's main meal of the day

8:09 am

crosshair

"eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper"

8:09 am

MLFAN17

where did you hear that cross?

8:09 am

sukee

I should follow that, although my breakfast is often the biggest meal of the day for me.

8:09 am

Jeff7

Greek fluffy rug? really? lol

8:09 am

crosshair

it is an old saying. you will have to google it

8:09 am

sukee

Yes, everyone knows that right? :)

8:09 am

Jeff7

sounds like a flotation device for a magic carpet

8:10 am

crosshair

It works for me as i have apnea and acid reflux and I am in agony if i go to bed on a full belly

8:10 am

sukee

Had to google it myself :)

8:10 am

MLFAN17

that is a really neat old saying i never heard it before

8:10 am

MLFAN17

i googled the rug as well it came right up on google

8:10 am

crosshair

it is, MLF and it works for a lot of people

8:11 am

sukee

I even typed in fluffy greek rug :)

8:11 am

sukee

Now we know.

8:11 am

sukee

Ty for that clue

8:11 am

crosshair

the saying is cited to Adelle davis goggle says

8:12 am

MLFAN17

cross does it mean that the dinner meal should be the most simple one?

8:12 am

Trifioso

good morning friends

8:12 am

crosshair

yes, the most simple and small

8:12 am

crosshair

howdy trif:)

8:12 am

sukee

Sort of makes sense since you wind down at night and are less active.

8:13 am

sukee

hi Trifioso

8:13 am

Trifioso

I usually try to hit nbt before I chat, but oof - this one is a bit of a slog

8:13 am

crosshair

yuppers:)

8:14 am

MLFAN17

trif it doesnt feel like it should even have over 105 words at least not to me. When i first looked at it(before i knew how many words are in the grid) i thought it was a small one

8:14 am

crosshair

my da was the opposite when we were young. he did all those big, heavy Yorkshire pork dinners with all the trimmings at 8 pm.. used to go to bed just bloated

8:14 am

Trifioso

wow crossy! bet your mom had a hard time sleeping

8:14 am

crosshair

now I cannot stand doing that

8:15 am

MLFAN17

sukee but i find that if i eat very little at night i am pretty hungry by morning. But you shouldnt go to bed on an empty stomach or be to full eitehr

8:15 am

MLFAN17

either

8:15 am

sukee

True, I have had trouble sleeping if I am hungry. A cup of tea often helps :)

8:16 am

crosshair

for dinner, I usuall make a cold plate of some fruit, maybe some celery or carrot stick, a bit of chees and a few crackers. Just tv nibbles as i call it

8:16 am

Trifioso

ooooh, just remembered - I have leftover chinese food...one of my favorite breakfasts

8:16 am

MLFAN17

if i have coffee that helps but not when i get up in the morning

8:16 am

sukee

I am finding this grid very hard, harder than I thought it would be :)

8:16 am

Trifioso

me too sukee

8:17 am

MLFAN17

sukee same here when i first started it had to ask for a few clues already couldnt get nbt

8:57 am

Scrabbler

I know Crossy's loves: his wife, food, his Jeep, hiking, paddling in his canoe

simple pleasures, scrabby , are the best

Every once in a while, I get all nostalgic and think of pulling out my old typewriter, but then i correct 20 pages with a single mouse click and the urge passes;)

9:18 am

Judi

Ha. Those old typewriters make nice display pieces though. Fun to see kids look at them as if they came from a horror movie.

9:19 am

crosshair

there is a company that refurbishes them so you can actually hook them up to your computer and use them just like a keyboard or you can type it old style at the same time

9:20 am

Judi

"See here, kids? This was the first QWERTY keyboard." They run screaming.

Sorry - cat hit the "enter" button. Mrs. Crossy is joining the college ranks?

what course of study is Mrs. Crossy interested in?

9:31 am

crosshair

Once she is done filling in missed courses, she will be taking Advanced photography

9:31 am

Doesn't she have vision problems?

crosshair

you can see some of her pictures on my blog.. http://crosshairmusings.webs.com/

wow.. she can do the pics for your book! what a team!

Judi

Will do = after breakfast. *POOF*

9:33 am

crosshair

well, may get her to do the cover art, but the book itself will have no pictures

9:35 am

crosshair

She will often take the pictures "blind" if light conditions are bothering her eyes. She can see blurry shapes in thses conditions but i guide her positioning or wait till the right time of day for her so the light is more diffused. that way she can take great shots

9:37 am

Scrabbler

Goof for her.

9:37 am

crosshair

sereral of of better pictures are in jigidi fo you to play with

9:37 am

Scrabbler

I mean, GOOD for her. Maybe some are goofs too.

crosshair

I added two new ones the other day

9:38 am

crosshair

indeed, scrabby. For every great picture, there are 50 that get tossed

Scrabbler

After 54 words I am bored with this grid. Maybe I will return tonight. I need to shop for my mother and visit her.

I have indeed seen how long their claws are - and how many teeth they have. This is the 3rd year I've raised babies, so I've seen them up close and personal bunches.

1:39 pm

rururocks

we lived near a creek and it must have been a big nesting breeding area

1:40 pm

rururocks

I live in Napa now hego. coon free

1:40 pm

jesdraggon

I have also raised a bat, and was absolutely FURIOUS than the health department made me euthanize the coyote puppy (to test for rabies, even though the exposure concern was ridiculous, i was going to have the puppy for 4 months, and the finder didn't want me to... guess what, it was negative)

1:40 pm

saanichcat

Jes, I like them but just don't want to have them around. I raised a few orphans years ago though

1:41 pm

1:42 pm

hego

great area.

1:42 pm

rururocks

I'll be buying something here next year

1:42 pm

jesdraggon

There is a special place in my heart for the animals so many others consider pests :). However, I love them for what they are, and don't try to turn them into other things... this lot will be going to live in a wilderness area just outside of Spokane toward the end of summer. They are NOT pets.

1:42 pm

hego

nice restaurants.

1:44 pm

rururocks

1:44 pm

1:46 pm

seals are fun too, nursed one back to health in my bathtub many years ago

1:46 pm

1:46 pm

saanichcat

ah the wine nose...

1:46 pm

hego

1:47 pm

jesdraggon

too far from the ocean to get any marine mammals here. I think seals and sea lions and otters are amazing, but HUGE

I worked at the marine mammal center in college saanich.. we nursed big sea lions and harbor seals back to health

1:47 pm

rururocks

ChrissieDee

He'll be home tomorrow... Happy face

4:25 pm

rururocks

darn.. I was hoping to be a saint of something

4:26 pm

jaxx7

Good. You will have to make sure he doesn't go back to that wild land until the referendum is over and all becomes clear

4:26 pm

ChrissieDee

Daughter and her husband are also on a bike trip. Left last friday, ride through France, Belgium, Netherlands and Denmark, arriving at his brother's in Sweden today

4:27 pm

jaxx7

Do they have a patron saint of Innuendo? That you could be

4:27 pm

ChrissieDee

lol, will do that

4:27 pm

ChrissieDee

and King of the Pun

4:28 pm

rururocks

I thought maybe Patron Saint of helping old ladies across the sidewalk kind of thing

4:29 pm

jaxx7

You could practise being a saint but it won't be as much fun

4:29 pm

rururocks

I already tried that jaxx.. doesn't work for me

4:30 pm

jaxx7

Do you help old ladies across the sidewalk? Did they really want to go?

4:30 pm

rururocks

well.. they got to the other side whether they liked it or not :D

4:30 pm

ChrissieDee

Awww, is that how you spend your spare time ru. Do you make them cross over whether they want to or not

4:31 pm

rururocks

<--ever the boy scout

4:31 pm

jaxx7

Not very saintly then!

4:31 pm

ChrissieDee

Took me ages to type that :(

4:32 pm

rururocks

better than being Joseph I guess and being buried head first so someone can sell a condo :D

4:33 pm

ChrissieDee

Could I get stats for the lonely O on the bottom row please?

4:33 pm

jaxx7

There already is a St Joseph, the vacancy is filled

4:33 pm

rururocks

4:34 pm

jaxx7

Trees that have acorns, chrissie

4:34 pm

rururocks

Saint Ru.. has a nice ring to it though

4:34 pm

ChrissieDee

ty both but I've just found it's oo4

4:35 pm

jaxx7

St Pun doesn't

4:36 pm

ChrissieDee

St Pun of Innuendo?

4:36 pm

rururocks

well.. certain words do set me off

4:37 pm

jaxx7

St Ru of Innuendo, now that sounds good

4:37 pm

ChrissieDee

That's decided then

4:37 pm

rururocks

ok.. works for me

4:38 pm

jaxx7

and me

4:38 pm

jaxx7

From now on you are St Ru

4:39 pm

rururocks

do I have to take the vow of celibacy though?

4:40 pm

rururocks

that might be a deal breaker

4:40 pm

jaxx7

Would that be a real problem for a true saint?

4:40 pm

ChrissieDee

Strike the sainthood

4:40 pm

rururocks

anything such as part-time saints?

4:41 pm

rururocks

Monday through Friday saints?

4:41 pm

jaxx7

Oh, well. It was good while it lasted.

4:41 pm

rururocks

:D

4:41 pm

jaxx7

I don't think you can be a part time celibate

4:41 pm

ChrissieDee

Ru gets lucky at weekends, lol

4:41 pm

rururocks

sure you can

4:42 pm

rururocks

Bill Clinton was a part time celibate all the time

4:42 pm

jaxx7

Or maybe that should be naughty so he can't be a saint

4:43 pm

rururocks

he was just a little rough on office desks

4:44 pm

jaxx7

It also appears he was firing blanks so Hillary is clearly no saint unless Chelsea was a virgin birth

4:44 pm

ChrissieDee

lol jaxx

4:45 pm

jaxx7

Stay as sweet as you are, Ru. We would miss your slant on things

4:47 pm

rururocks

I plan on it.. .. being sweet that is

4:47 pm

jaxx7

Good

4:48 pm

ChrissieDee

Soor is a good Scottish word

4:50 pm

rururocks

*wonders if Doren found her fifty words yet*

4:50 pm

jaxx7

Not very saintly, where's the humility?

4:50 pm

rururocks

I thought we had dropped the saintly bit :D

4:51 pm

jaxx7

Just goes to show we were right - you are no saint

4:52 pm

rururocks

it would be a little difficult for an atheist to be a saint I guess afterall

4:52 pm

jaxx7

That does put the lid on it somewhat

4:53 pm

rururocks

But nonetheless..i'd love to have a Vatican sponsored retreat on the Mediterranean (staffed of course)

4:53 pm

ChrissieDee

Seems we wasted our time finding the perfect saint name then jaxx

4:54 pm

jaxx7

As you are a Babble expert, could you give a clue for the other 8. I have the kinky sex thing

4:54 pm

rururocks

I can use it around Halloween Chrissie. not a total loss :D

4:54 pm

jaxx7

Not personally of course.

4:54 pm

ChrissieDee

Is that a confession or a boast jaxx?

4:54 pm

rururocks

4:55 pm

jaxx7

Take it as you will

4:55 pm

rururocks

LOL chrissie.. I was just about to comment on that

4:56 pm

rururocks

made of wool.. usually

4:56 pm

ChrissieDee

omg, didn't actually know the definition of that one

4:56 pm

jaxx7

Definitely not a saint. I thought Halloween were the other lot

4:58 pm

jaxx7

You learn something every day, Chrissie. My education was clearly sadly lacking

4:59 pm

ChrissieDee

Not on my bucket list jaxx

4:59 pm

5:10 pm

rururocks

I did.. my SIL and Brother had me over for dinner.. and I took my nephews out for a driving lesson in a parking lot.. it was great to be with family

5:10 pm

MollyL

Teaching kids to drive is trippy

5:10 pm

jaxx7

A Greek Aladdin, perhaps, or should that be adonis?

5:10 pm

rururocks

no kidding.. they were really nervous

5:11 pm

MollyL

Did they get to drive Uncle Ru's new toy?

5:11 pm

rururocks

no.. took the truck this time

5:11 pm

rururocks

my nephew got to drive the toy last time

5:12 pm

rururocks

the eldest

5:12 pm

rururocks

# 2 went out for the first time too (what a lead foot he has)

5:12 pm

MollyL

I think kids learn to drive better from non-parents

5:13 pm

rururocks

that's what my SIL said.. we had a great time the boys and me

5:13 pm

ChrissieDee

Uncle ru definitely fits better than saint ru

5:13 pm

MollyL

I wish my son got to spend more time with his uncle. But uncle works for NASA so he very little free time.

5:14 pm

rururocks

I love being an Uncle to these boys.. they're great kids.. I'm trying to help them since the family has turned their back on them

5:15 pm

rururocks

I like Uncle Ru too chrissie

5:15 pm

MollyL

That is good of you. I don't get families who turn their backs on kids.

5:16 pm

rururocks

My family is the Func in dysfunctional

5:17 pm

ChrissieDee

Sorry to hear that ru. Glad you and your sister have a good relationship though

5:18 pm

rururocks

she's my sister in law.. she's a pretty great person.. she is very direct and isn't fake like the rest of my family. I really admire her

5:19 pm

rururocks

My brother lucked out.. she's been a great mom and really the anchor to his boat

5:20 pm

MollyL

That can be a hard job, anchoring the boat

5:21 pm

rururocks

I don't have enough time to go into that.. but yes.. it is a very hard job for her.. my brother is so wishy-washy and still sucks up to Mommy

5:24 pm

ChrissieDee

All credit to you too ru for being there for them

5:26 pm

MollyL

There's that saint thing again
: D

5:26 pm

rururocks

I can now Chrissie.. and I'm all in. I want to help them get a real start in life and be a good uncle. They need someone besides their parents to get them to think about their careers and school and stuff.

5:26 pm

rururocks

LOL molly

5:27 pm

rururocks

I'll shut up now

5:30 pm

My kids' uncles were a hugely positive influence in their lives. I'm really grateful to them. Don't underestimate the good you are doing, Ru.

5:31 pm

Soodle

And Hi all, and hugs and kisses and cuddles and smooches all round.

5:31 pm

MollyL

Uncles can be a very good influence. Like I said, I wish my son's uncle had more time to spend with him, especially since his Dad died.

5:33 pm

rururocks

I'm happy to be able to help and be involved .. and am glad they are letting me be involved. It's win win for all of us.. and I don't underestimate it for a second soodle. I never had that growing up.. guidance or advice

5:34 pm

Glad to hear that Ru. Extra smooches for you. :-P

NOt in dog time. All of my male dogs, all neutered have tried mounting

8:01 pm

MollyL

Hello Vet? This is Bichon. My dog just mounted a Golden and his weenie came out. What do I do?

8:02 pm

bichon

The solution involved vasoline
