hey flosey :) How are you today?

2:02 am

flosey

good thanks Sprite - rose and ru had us in giggles for quite a while tonight

2:03 am

sprite

oh how lovely :) So good to be giggling.

2:04 am

flosey

starting at 1: am

2:04 am

sprite

hehehe they are bad. Lovely.

2:04 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} darling sprite. how was your night? how is tim doing?

2:05 am

sprite

hey my dear friend :) I am ok, my night was bearable, and tim is at the jaw surgeon right now. Am waiting to hear from Rob if Tim needs surgery or not.

2:05 am

grannyrose

* flutters innocent eyelashes* why, sprite, whatever do you mean?

2:06 am

sprite

surgeon had ordered Tim to come in without having eaten or drunk anything since midnight. So if he needs surgery, he will get it right away.

2:06 am

grannyrose

*giggle* as don says, i'm so bad, i'm good.

2:06 am

sprite

hehehe... yeah right. Go batting those eyelashes to boot.

2:06 am

flosey

that is great, Sprite

2:07 am

sprite

someone here once told us her father used to ask her: "Are you good or are you well?"

2:07 am

grannyrose

good news i hope, sprite. my goodness, tim's stomach will think his throat has been cut...

2:07 am

sprite

it is, isn't it? Am truly impressed with the medical personel, all around. From the emergency people to the specialists.

2:08 am

grannyrose

there is nothing as hollow as a teen boys legs...

2:08 am

sprite

he ate dinner last night! Cut in tiny pieces. He was so hungry, lol, he was insufferable. Became another person after he finally got enough food in that boy's body.

2:08 am

sprite

hehehe snap, rose... exactly.

2:09 am

flosey

we use to laugh at one of our sons, while we were still doing the dishes, he was back into the frig

2:09 am

flosey

fridge

2:10 am

grannyrose

lol, like one of our snickers bar ads. there is an old fella cussing and carrying on, and a young bloke offers him a snickers bar. then says better now? pan back to another young buck, holding the bar, saying, yes thanx.

2:10 am

sprite

lol exactly, flosey. Same thing here. Or just before dinner.

2:11 am

grannyrose

*giggle* flosey, i always told my boys that they were grazers. meal times just interrupted the grazing.

2:11 am

flosey

yes, that too, still at same meal everyone else ate

2:11 am

sprite

oh yeah, we have those as well here. Also with the bitch from an old soap, and football players.

2:11 am

flosey

lol so true, rose

2:11 am

sprite

lolllll

2:12 am

grannyrose

which is why i used to spend the whole of saturdays baking. cakes, biscuits, bars, cookies, you name it.

2:13 am

sprite

oh yeah, that old soap was called Dallas.

2:13 am

flosey

then there was the time daughter was dating a chap who played in a band =- the whole band would be in the kitchen - not playing, eating

2:13 am

sprite

smart move, rose.

2:14 am

grannyrose

i even made savoury biscuits, for them. and packed them into little bags....oh and the amount of fruit....almost 30kg ea4 week.

2:14 am

sprite

oh yes! When Tim has friends over, they love to hang in our kitchen. They call it chilling. I call it eating.

2:15 am

grannyrose

lolol....yeah i know...my rep as a baker got out, and half the neighbouring kids would be here on a saturday afternoon.

2:15 am

sprite

getting my son to eat fruit is quite a challenge.

2:16 am

flosey

I bet you loved it though, Rose

2:16 am

flosey

you knew where your kids were

2:16 am

grannyrose

have you tried freezing some of it. frozen oranges and mandarines were great favourites of my boys.

2:16 am

flosey

and the other mothers knew their kids were safe

2:17 am

grannyrose

flosey, it was a three-ring circus there. lol

2:17 am

sprite

yeah tried everything you can think of. Ongoing challenge, lol.

2:19 am

flosey

I can believe it, rose, raised 4, first 3 2 years apart, last one 1 yr - as tiny tots they played so well together, then their friends all started to come - but I guess the did as much time at the other homes as well - always knew where they were

2:19 am

grannyrose

ah well. i used fresh bananas and apples in my baking. plus heaps of dried fruit and nuts of many varieties. anything to get them to eat a balanced diet. i still laugh at the way they wolfed down my best ever orange cake....it was full of grated carrot.

2:20 am

flosey

cleverL!

2:20 am

sprite

yeah, carrot cake works here too, lol.

2:20 am

flosey

that has been a fav. of mine

2:21 am

sprite

just texted my love if he had news yet. Am sitting on pins here. (Am I mixing up metaphors here?)

2:21 am

flosey

with real butter cream frosting - butter no lard or shortening (ugh)

2:21 am

grannyrose

i never told them it had carrot in it...

2:21 am

sprite

butter is good for them.

2:22 am

grannyrose

dan hated mushrooms, but loved champignons....lol

2:23 am

sprite

lollll

2:23 am

flosey

lol,

2:23 am

dizgrannie

hopefully this time tomorrow I will have results from all the heart tests I have had in the past 2 mths

2:23 am

flosey

amazing, isn't it, use a different name, becomes actually edible

2:23 am

grannyrose

awww, diz. i hope it is all good news, dear.

2:24 am

sprite

more pins and needles there, dizgrannie. I hope you will get the best possible news.

2:24 am

dizgrannie

rose, me an hubby are hoping its all good news

2:24 am

grannyrose

diz, dear. what are they checking for?

2:24 am

flosey

good luck diz

2:24 am

dizgrannie

ty

2:24 am

sprite

my kids were never picky with eating. They were willing to try everything and over time developed a taste for almost everything. Just no fruit for my boy.

2:26 am

grannyrose

sprite, there are a lot of vegs which have the same nutritional value as fruit. maybe google it, and offer him the alternatives.

2:26 am

dizgrannie

Rose, I have an aneurism (spll?) on my aorta, and have ended up in hosp with pains in my chest.....just checking all out.

2:26 am

sprite

already doing that, rose, don't worry. He gets everything he can possibly need.

2:27 am

sprite

not fun, dizgrannie :( Will hold you in my thoughts and prayers.

2:29 am

flosey

falling asleep here, 16 to go and they can wait for tomorrow

2:29 am

grannyrose

ahhh, diz. dearest, do not despair. my girl-friends dad had one. the doctor stented it and he lived til the ripe old age of 96.

2:29 am

dizgrannie

does anyone else have g/kids who eat brussel sprouts, cabbage, pumpkin and any vegetable you can think of? We have 2 like that.....they even eat chokoes (me thinks that's an Aussie vegie)

2:29 am

flosey

goodnight all and thanks for the chuckles

2:29 am

sprite

sleep well, flosey. Grab that sandman when he runs by!

2:29 am

grannyrose

and it wasn't that from which he died, his dear old heart just stopped inhis sleep.

2:30 am

sprite

must be an aussie veg, never heard of it. And wow for those g/kids.

2:30 am

flosey

will do that sprite

2:30 am

grannyrose

sweet dreams, flosey. glad to have helped you laugh. xoxox

2:30 am

sprite

what a way to go, rose

2:30 am

dizgrannie

LOL Rose...looks like I have another 30 odd yrs to go....

2:31 am

flosey

would you have been referring to artichokes?

2:32 am

flosey

they can be delicious but a lot of prep

2:32 am

dizgrannie

No Flos, entirely different

2:32 am

flosey

and bye now

2:32 am

sprite

oh, those I know. They are tasty.

2:34 am

sprite

found them, diz. They are called Chayote here. Never had them.

2:34 am

sprite

I hear Tim, brb

2:35 am

grannyrose

2:36 am

grannyrose

and if he won't accept them blow my kisses to him...lol

2:51 am

sprite

back. Tim must come back on Monday, surgeon couldn't see it yet because of the swelling

2:52 am

sprite

bloating? Swollenness? No idea. You get the drift.

2:53 am

sprite

some stitches removed, surgeon was a bit ashamed he had stitched it so fine, it gave Tim more pain than necessary. Eye is healing well, mouth too. Surgeon thinks an operation will be necessary.

2:56 am

sprite

just made him some stirred eggs with ham, in the pan we used yesterday to cook sausages. Nice and spicy.

2:57 am

grannyrose

okay...he is on the way. did the surgeon indicate what he thinks may need to be done?

2:58 am

grannyrose

no shame on surgeon's part. the finer the stitch the better the healing of the wound. i hope tim is okay.

2:58 am

sprite

he wants to repair the cheekbone. Right now, it looks like it is dented in... one side of Tim's face is much flatter than the other. And that is while swollen. So it will be repaired in order to restore the former situation.

3:00 am

grannyrose

ahhh, okay. i hope tim doesn't lose patience. reconstructive surgery takes a long time. ea4 step is small, because the surgeon has to wait for the swelling to subside before proceeding. counsel tim to be patient...hard to do for him...all teens live life in the fast lane..

3:01 am

sprite

yeah, I don't blame the surgeon at all. He did a terrific job.

3:01 am

sprite

yeah he is soooo grumpy right now, lol. Don't blame him though. It is not a fun thing to have to go through. Am glad he will be fine in the end.

3:07 am

grannyrose

can you explain about how swelling distorts tissue? point out to him how long it takes for a stubbed toe to be not sore?

3:08 am

sprite

um no, not right now. He knows it all, and, to quote him: "I already feel like a moron, you don't have to treat me like one."

3:09 am

grannyrose

* giggle * not touching that...

3:09 am

sprite

roflol! Ikr... I just leave him be. I feed him, keep him in painkillers as ordered, am nice to him, and leave him alone.

3:10 am

grannyrose

and you sweetie? what time for you?

3:12 am

grannyrose

is caya still okay? and rob? back at work...how is he handling the whole thing?

3:13 am

grannyrose

oh, sprite...i just remembered when first hubby was involved in a head-on collision with another car...i fed him frozen icy poles for months. they helped the swelling, and kept the pain under control.

3:14 am

sprite

not sure about myself, tbh. Caya is doing ok, she is off to school. I told her to go to bed early for a few days, and she kind of did. So hopefully back to ok.

3:14 am

sprite

good idea, will ask rob to get some

3:15 am

sprite

Rob is stressed too. He went with Tim, took some time off of work for it. I am still in too much pain to go myself. Will go with him on Monday though.

3:15 am

grannyrose

ex broke almost all his back teeth from clenching his jaw at impact.

3:16 am

grannyrose

poor rob!! poor you!! again i say i wish i could be there for you. {{hugs and kisses}}

3:16 am

sprite

ouch! poor man

3:18 am

grannyrose

oh, sprite, had a phone call from my original clinic for pain control today. a nurse whom i helped train in the recovery room is on the staff there. she phoned me, and said as there are 500 patients who will be looking for another pain management clinic, i should line up the new doctor ASAP.

3:19 am

sprite

yeah me too. But in a way you are there for me, anyway

3:19 am

sprite

oh jeezzzz so many! Yeah, good idea, beat the masses to it.

3:19 am

grannyrose

so i have done so. i have all the admission papers now, and am hoping to send them in tomorrow.

3:20 am

sprite

good job, rose. Am so sorry you have to find another pain doctor. But I feel you will get the treatment you need, at some other place.

3:23 am

grannyrose

yeah, sprite. i am not pulling my records from the original clinic. so if the new doctor doesn't work out, i may be able to go back to them. i need help now, hun..hence my going to the new doctor.

3:24 am

sprite

very good. Yes, you do need help now. It is eating up your energy and that is not a good thing. Am right behind you every step on the way.

3:24 am

grannyrose

sprite, do you hear from pugs during the week? is it okay to forward her emails to me?

3:25 am

marigold

cast le

3:25 am

marigold

sorry

3:25 am

sprite

busted, marigold :)

3:25 am

grannyrose

lol, mari...almost...lose the space, dear

3:25 am

sprite

rose, didn't you get an email today?

3:26 am

grannyrose

yes, i did, sprite. but sometimes i feel she is leaving me out of the loop.

3:27 am

sprite

if she does, it isn't intentionally, I am sure.

3:28 am

grannyrose

but then again....if you can offer her better advice...it really doesn't matter...so long as she is getting some support.

3:28 am

sprite

*hugs rose*

3:29 am

sprite

just checked, and every email I got from our pugs recently has you and liz as addressees as well.

3:30 am

grannyrose

okay...as i said...so long as she receives some support from one of us....

3:31 am

sprite

I think she receives support from all of us, and she deserves it richly. What a truckload of sh*t she has on her plate there :(

3:31 am

grannyrose

oh, did i tell you my dentist was able to re-build my fractured tooth?

3:32 am

sprite

no! Oh that is good news.

3:32 am

grannyrose

again...i wish i could be there to support her.

3:32 am

sprite

me too. If someone needs to be held and comforted, it is our pugs.

3:33 am

grannyrose

lol...it cost me a bit...but is worth it. no gap-toothed smile here.

3:33 am

sprite

am happy for you, rose. Well-spent money there.

3:34 am

sprite

ok that pe7 biggie is a weird one!

3:34 am

grannyrose

lolol....don just said...what is that on your face? oh it's me.

3:34 am

sprite

awwwwww that is so sweet!

3:35 am

grannyrose

dinner soon. how you doing with the grid?

3:35 am

sprite

pe7: (in ancient Greece) a lightly armed foot soldier. Named after the small leather shield they wear, which is called a pe**a.

3:35 am

sprite

just a few left, rose. Might make it before your dinner :)

3:36 am

grannyrose

yay, you are amazing, sprite. xoxox

3:36 am

sprite

good (late) morning

3:48 am

rubyfoo

The painter has just hung the kitchen wallpaper and it is not the color I thought I had chosen. I was afraid it would be too yellow; it is VERY orange, instead

3:48 am

grannyrose

rubyfoo

3:49 am

3:49 am

grannyrose

{{ruby}} ugh on the paper...

3:50 am

rubyfoo

I tthink it will be OK, just a little different from what it was before

3:54 am

grannyrose

orange is a warm colour. is that what you want?

3:57 am

rubyfoo

Beore, I had a rich rusty orange textured paper in the entry and upstairs hall and a slightly more yellow version for the kitchen/breakfast room. I wanted warm, but this is a little bit darker than I expected.

3:58 am

rubyfoo

It all goes toward making this 30 yr old house look much older and a little bit charming as it was austere when we bought it

3:58 am

rubyfoo

And since the house is always freezing it makes it SEEM warmer

3:58 am

grannyrose

well all for the good then?

3:59 am

rubyfoo

I'm sure it will be OK. I'm having the breakfast room drapes cleaned, but they may be too yellow for the new walls. We'll see.

4:00 am

grannyrose

well a strong contrast can work, ruby.

4:01 am

rubyfoo

iT WAS SO UCH EASIER WHEN WE REMODELED THE HOUSE, BECAUSE WE WERE STILL IN mIAMI AND I DIDN'T HAVE TO LIVE WITH CONSTRUCTION MESS

Nope. We got about 8 inches, or maybe a bit more. I will leave for work soon.

6:15 am

ivesy3

we r under a travel ban..pretty much everything closed

6:15 am

Scrabbler

How about you? Two of my co-workers live in West Seneca and got 4 ft of snow. They are trapped in their homes.

6:16 am

ivesy3

my cousin lives out that way.cant get out the door either

6:17 am

Scrabbler

One friend had a gas leak in her basement so she and her husband had to carry their toddlers and 2 dogs to a neighbor's house, trudging through 4 ft of snow.

6:19 am

ivesy3

awful...the things that happen when we get this weather...

6:19 am

Scrabbler

Did you read that a woman delivered her baby in a firehouse?

6:20 am

MollyL

Well if you have to deliver a baby somewhere other than a hospital, that is a good place to do it. Lot's of trained EMT's on hand.

6:20 am

Scrabbler

I must get ready for work now. Bye, ivesy.

6:20 am

ivesy3

bye scrab. be safe

6:21 am

ivesy3

for sure molly. they opened a red cross shelter in city next to us for people stuck on thruway..and prob for the homeless

6:24 am

MollyL

I can only hope that if people live in an area prone to that much snow, they know how to prepare for it.

6:24 am

ivesy3

its almost like they forget how to drive and make sure supplies are on hand.. they warn us weeks in advance.

6:25 am

ivesy3

that should say week..not weeks yet lol

6:25 am

evanonut

for the record, i don't think i could cope with such amounts of snow mentally

6:25 am

ivesy3

it is depressing.

6:25 am

MollyL

The sad thing is, many people "think" they can drive in the snow.

6:26 am

evanonut

i would have to paint and decorate my house in neon colors

6:27 am

MollyL

Bad snow storms have that effect on people (Jack Nicholson/The Shining)

6:27 am

ivesy3

well there is a travel ban..and rite now i cant even get out of the driveway...

6:28 am

evanonut

are you kidding, i don't really think he was acting in that movie

6:29 am

ivesy3

i never saw that movie /or read the book..i hear its scary..

6:30 am

MollyL

I remember an over 20 inch snow storm a few years back. The power went out (at night) and I looked outside and it looked like desolate, dark, Siberia. I remembered thinking "I could go crazy from stuff like this"

6:30 am

ivesy3

i know i could go crazy.last year ws terrible. i felt like i couldnt clean my car off one more time.

6:31 am

hi, all. I am so pleased! I recently bought an electric counter top roaster for baking our holiday turkeys. So much easier to use than the regular oven, much more energy efficient and versatile! I liked it so much I bought a second one. No more tying up the regular oven when we are preparing food for guests.

9:23 am

72 Temple Owl

sounds great, angel. what kind did you buy?

9:25 am

Angelsong

the first one is a bella. The second is an oster. The bella is 18 quarts and the oster is 22 quarts

9:25 am

72 Temple Owl

have you done turkey in it before?

9:26 am

Gail

I had my mother's old roaster for years and I was so sad when somebody left it on all night and burned it out. I should not have loaned it out. We cooked every turkey perfectly in that thing.

9:27 am

72 Temple Owl

very handy to have the oven free for sides.

9:30 am

Angelsong

I had never even seen of heard of them until recently and we debated buying the smaller one for weeks before we did so. I prepared a 15 pound fresh turkey in it on Saturday and was immediately hooked. ordered the second one on Monday and it was delivered yesterday. I will use the smaller one for dressing while the turkey bakes in the larger one.

9:31 am

Gail

I had double ovens in one home we had and used them and the roaster, so easy to cook for a crouwd.

9:32 am

Angelsong

still have my grandmother's old blue enamel roaster, but will be using the new ones now.

9:32 am

72 Temple Owl

i have not done thanksgiving since my early married days, and that was only for two. i may have to cook for company net time, and it is a nervewracking thought.

9:34 am

Angelsong

I usually cook Thanksgiving dinner, and we have fed up to 24 people. such fun!

9:37 am

Angelsong

I start planning well ahead, and it is so easy to do holiday meals. now it will be easier yet.

9:39 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, that and organization i guess.

new at the game..what is the average points achieved

3:31 pm

ch1212

scorpio, welcome. Click on the rankings star, and that will show you people's overall scores over time. In terms of 'average points' ... that's difficult. Every day is a different grid with a different number and level of players. Most of us just play for fun. Some get into finishing every day's grid no matter what; others play until they feel like stopping. Enjoy!

3:36 pm

MollyL

There is no average points. You have to factor in how often someone plays, whether they play every day, whether they finish every day. It's really not about points, but about how much you enjoy playing.

6:11 pm

6:12 pm

Deeha

you must be a dead ringer for our lovely lady Queen Molly

6:13 pm

Deeha

How about does it have an elasticated waist pen?

6:14 pm

penquis

that is usually covered by "comfortable"...

6:14 pm

MollyL

No, actually not. See 6:10 comment. God, I would hate it if people thought I looked like the old queen.

6:14 pm

penquis

i would never imagine that you would, molly!

6:15 pm

Deeha

I did say the old queen not AN old queen!!!

6:15 pm

MollyL

6:35 pm

6:36 pm

periwinkle

6:36 pm

6:38 pm

periwinkle

ok, I was thinking Reynauds disease/syndrome

6:40 pm

penquis

no, i don't think so....

6:40 pm

periwinkle

I hate it when my feet are cold. sometimes I wear socks to bed. but then my feet get too warm and I need to take them off :)

8:07 pm

I wonder how our outdoorswoman Scrabbler is liking her snow now?

8:10 pm

penquis

i kept thinking today how i was so glad i did not live near Buffalo....

8:12 pm

rururocks

me too.

8:12 pm

rururocks

my friends in NY said it's snowing there too.

8:13 pm

rururocks

10:45 pm

grannyrose

why wow, ruru?

10:53 pm

rururocks

intense

10:55 pm

rururocks

does she ever find words on her own?

11:02 pm

grannyrose

i am sure she does, ruru. just needs a help with the biggies.

11:03 pm

rururocks

uh .. yeah.. right

11:07 pm

grannyrose

it's only lately that i have become a little more adept at this game. and i still struggle at times, particularly with the longer words.

11:08 pm

rururocks

uh.. sure.. you struggle alright. you're one of the best players here

11:09 pm

grannyrose

why thank-you kind sir. what a nice compliment. no where near dart, broll, arb mitchdick though. boy, those players rock.

11:10 pm

grannyrose

oh and sprite, dee and you of course. there are so many better than i am.

11:11 pm

rururocks

I find the constant begging for clues annoying

11:12 pm

grannyrose

take a deep breath, ruru. it takes all kinds to make the world go round. i don't mind, because it helps me to remember words i have never seen before.

11:14 pm

grannyrose

don't you remember when i first joined? my god, i was so stupid, even when given clues i still couldn't find the words.

11:14 pm

rururocks

I think one of the lessons about this game is patience. Give yourself a minute to think about it.. and think about a clue.. what does it mean.. where is the word.. and to try to find it.. I don't mind cluing and being clued.. but not (never) incessantly

11:14 pm

rururocks

you joined before me gr

11:15 pm

rururocks

I was dumb about this game too.. but still..

11:18 pm

rururocks

*steps off soapbox*

11:19 pm

grannyrose

some players never complete the grid. i think that is what has helped me with my vocabulary. all the new words i have learned simply by finishing each time.

11:19 pm

rururocks

well.. many days it is a time sucker.. if you don't see the grid well

11:22 pm

grannyrose

oh, yeah. how many times have i been staring, looking for a word, knowing it is there, but simply cannot find it?

11:25 pm

grannyrose

and THEN you realise it comes from the OTHER D tile( or whatever letter you need).

11:26 pm

rururocks

we're not talking about the same thing granny

11:27 pm

rururocks

CAN SOMEONE CLUE THE AL4 PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11:27 pm

rururocks

it is four letters.. can you try some combos FIRST?

11:27 pm

grannyrose

oh??

11:27 pm

rururocks

that was an example

11:28 pm

grannyrose

lol, ruru. yeah i know....

11:28 pm

rururocks

sorry.. I'll stop bitchin' about it

11:29 pm

grannyrose

it's okay mate. it needed to be said...

11:30 pm

rururocks

it gets irritating some days

11:31 pm

grannyrose

when it gets irritating every day, then you me to sound off on, mate. broad shoulders, 2 ears, no waiting.

11:32 pm

grannyrose

ugh * use * not you

11:32 pm

hpb

Shoot, now everyone's afraid to ask for clues... :)

11:33 pm

rururocks

LOL hp. .go ahead

11:33 pm

rururocks

the soap box is empty

11:34 pm

hpb

No, I'm ok. Though I did just spend way too long to find the ca 4s.

11:34 pm

rururocks

the c's were a bitch in this grid

11:35 pm

hpb

No kidding! I have 6 more to go.

11:35 pm

hpb

I'd be sunk without lickety.

11:36 pm

rururocks

Lickety is a great equalizer in this game

11:37 pm

grannyrose

love lickety....xoxox

11:37 pm

hpb

totally.

11:38 pm

hpb

Wow, did I just out myself as a child of the 80s?

11:38 pm

rururocks

it's amazing he still bothers.. with Mr. P no longer playing.. god bless him really

11:38 pm

rururocks

you did HP.. we have your Number now

11:38 pm

hpb

grody.

11:38 pm

rururocks

fer sure

11:39 pm

hpb

to the max.

11:40 pm

hpb

Where are you in France? I used to live in Rennes.

11:40 pm

rururocks

I actually have finished a few grids lately without lickety.. it's amazing the guesses one can take on words from playing this game a while

11:40 pm

rururocks

I'm in Cassis (in my dreams)

11:41 pm

hpb

I can't imagine finishing without it. I just can't fiddle for more than 5 letters.

11:42 pm

rururocks

In my dreams I live in the south of france as a multi-billionaire with my young wife (blond) and drive Ferrari's on the windy roads of Provence

11:45 pm

hpb

Ah, lovely. In my dreams I live in a stone farmhouse outside of Tours. I grow fruit and tend a goat dairy and wear rubber boots in my lush garden. Of course I have hired hands to do the dirty work...

11:46 pm

hpb

The closest I've been to Cassis is Nimes and Nice. I'll have to check it out if I ever get back to that coast.

11:48 pm

rururocks

cassis is really one of the most beautiful places on earth

11:49 pm

hpb

I can imagine.

11:49 pm

rururocks

a beautiful seaport.. warm people. wonderful food, incredible vistas..

11:49 pm

rururocks

I'd live there in a heartbeat

11:49 pm

rururocks

or New Zealand

11:49 pm

hpb

I do miss French food.

11:50 pm

hpb

Ooh, I really want to visit New Zealand.

11:51 pm

hpb

And that place on the north coast of Australia where the rain forest meets the sea. Can't remember what it's called.

11:51 pm

rururocks

I'm going next year sometime.

11:52 pm

hpb

Lucky you!

11:53 pm

rururocks

lifelong dream of mine

11:54 pm

rururocks

# 1 on the bucket list

11:55 pm

hpb

I don't know what's #1 on mine. Too many good things to choose from.

11:56 pm

hpb

Maybe the Galapagos Islands.

11:56 pm

rururocks

you'll figure it out some day

11:56 pm

hpb

I'd say Antarctica, but I don't like the cold.

11:56 pm

rururocks

Galapagos is beautiful..

11:57 pm

rururocks

Raw .. wild.. wind blown

11:57 pm

hpb

And it's unique. There are lots of great cities full of culture and food and art, but not many natural places like that left.

11:59 pm

hpb

Woo hoo! I reached halfway before the flip!

11:59 pm

rururocks

good for you..

11:59 pm

ursh

skin of my teeth fireworks
