4:22 am

things have been rather crazy here. Night was bad and I am doggone tired. Just called my love and asked him to take over the shopping and cooking today.

4:23 am

grannyrose

poor you, sweetheart.

4:23 am

sprite

nothing big, sweetie. Just run-of-the-mill shittiness.

4:23 am

sprite

how are you and Don and the manary?

4:24 am

grannyrose

you wanna laugh???

4:24 am

sprite

of course I do

4:24 am

grannyrose

power company was doing line-work, and turned the power off. no problems i thought, can't be on the computer...so i'll go and do the ironing instead..

4:25 am

sprite

roflololollll oh that could have been me

4:25 am

grannyrose

it wasn't until after i plugged the iron in and picked it up and realised it was still cold, ...then i realised what i was doing.

4:26 am

grannyrose

i felt such a dill

4:26 am

sprite

*luvs you!*

4:27 am

grannyrose

don and i had to keep on thinking of things to do which didn't involve power.

4:27 am

sprite

sex. The longer the power

4:27 am

sprite

the longer the blackout, the bigger the baby boom 9 months later :D

4:28 am

grannyrose

oh, no.....lololol

4:29 am

grannyrose

just remember the equipment is missing but the playground is still there.

4:29 am

sprite

lol yes I didn't mean you would get pregnant, hahaha

4:32 am

grannyrose

btw, dear lickety managed to sort out the problem with his server. so his list is available....not that you will ne4 it, of course.

4:33 am

sprite

I usually don't. But it is nice to have at the end of some grids. Also, I use the expert and I like to see the green flashes when the word is valid.

4:34 am

sprite

am happy with myself for asking Rob to take over. Screw pride. I'll make it up to him some day.

4:35 am

sprite

lol, when his server is down, I get green flashes for each and every word, no matter how crazy

4:37 am

grannyrose

one good thing with the power off, i got all the christmas cards written finally. and don took them tp the post office and posted them all.

4:38 am

sprite

oh wow. I should get my ass in gear for that as well. Can santa drop off a huge bag of energy for me, ya think?

4:39 am

grannyrose

*giggle*

4:42 am

sprite

huh... no 'bidon'???

4:43 am

sprite

I guess it comes from the french then... drinking bottle like the pro bicycle riders use?

4:43 am

grannyrose

apparently not...lol

4:48 am

sprite

yep, from the french.You say canteen or, even simpler, water bottle. I suggest using bidon from now on :D

4:49 am

sprite

in dutch it is specifically used for the kind of waterbottle you drink from after pulling up the top part with your teeth.

4:51 am

grannyrose

over here we call it a sipper bottle. same concept

4:52 am

sprite

ah, nice one. Still, bidon is shorter!

4:52 am

sprite

pronounced bee-don

4:52 am

sprite

I'll shut up now, lol

4:53 am

grannyrose

please don't. i love your chatter

4:53 am

sprite

:D ok in that case, stress on the last syllable :D

4:53 am

sprite

now I am picturing your Don in a bee costume

4:54 am

grannyrose

roflolllll

4:55 am

sprite

poor man, grin

4:56 am

grannyrose

would that be vertical or horizontal stripes?

4:56 am

sprite

horizontal, I am afraid, sweetie.

4:57 am

grannyrose

oh, dear....* puts on the sun-glasses*

4:57 am

sprite

*brings out the camera*

5:00 am

grannyrose

5:02 am

sprite

Houston, we have lift-off!

5:03 am

5:17 am

grannyrose

5:17 am

5:22 am

sprite

well done, sweetie :) Am so proud of you for changing your wicked ways.

5:22 am

grannyrose

i am taking it very slowly. breaking up the whole chore into small bits

5:22 am

grannyrose

frustrating for sure, but the only way it is gonna get done.

5:23 am

sprite

yeah and without the nasty after-effects. Very much worth it.

5:24 am

sprite

I did the dishes like that last week. A few dishes, back to the couch. Some cutlery, back to the couch. Took ages but it got done.

5:24 am

grannyrose

are you heading out?? i ne4 to get my meds, and don't want to leave you flapping your gums to the air....lolol

5:24 am

sprite

oh, the specialist in the hospital doesn't know what else to do with me to battle the incontinence. No operation, she is afraid it will worsen stuff.

5:25 am

sprite

hehehehe go, sweetie. I am fine. Will finish up the grid and then lie down on the couch with Terra.

5:25 am

grannyrose

oh, my poor sweetie. that's just too bad.

5:25 am

sprite

Hi Rose.

Howdy,sukee

Hi crossy.

5:56 am

grannyrose

nice crossy

5:57 am

sukee

Just heard they are going to make homeowners clean the sidewalk in front of their homes in winter. However, I thought that was already expected.

5:58 am

grannyrose

since the sidewalk is a public thing, how do they figure that out?

5:58 am

sukee

I thought it was the sidewalk right in front of your house.

6:00 am

grannyrose

mind you...over here we have grass verges in front of our homes....and it is our responsibilty to keep the grass cut.

6:01 am

crosshair

Here, you are liable if some one injures themselves on the portion of sidewalk directly in front of your home or business

6:01 am

dcseain

We're required to clear snow, ice, and debris from the sidewalks adjacent to our properties here.

6:02 am

evanonut

if I were required to clear my driveway I'd move...but then you don't get a drive like this in the city

6:02 am

sukee

I thought that was the law here too. Most people actually do though.

6:02 am

grannyrose

but the actual footpaths are the responsibility of our local council

6:03 am

Deeha

got a feeling if a person slips outside your house that's bad luck but if you clear it and then they slip you are liable

6:03 am

sukee

Just the public area has to be cleaned, I think it's just common courtesy. Of course, I live in an apartment and don't have to worry about it.

6:03 am

crosshair

Unless said sidewalk is in actual disrepair, then you nudity public works and the onus is on them until it is repaired.

6:03 am

evanonut

te he he, nudity

6:03 am

crosshair

Notify

6:04 am

sukee

:)

6:04 am

grannyrose

roflol, crossy...for goodness sake turn off the auto correct.

6:04 am

crosshair

Love auto correct:)

6:05 am

dcseain

Where i live the Virginia Dept of Transportation builds and maintains sidewalks, but property owners are responsible for clear them and notifying VDOT when repairs are needed outside of normal repair schedules.

6:07 am

sukee

Interesting all the differences.

6:18 am

grannyrose

okay...yawning wide enough to swallow the keyboard. nighy-night everyone.

6:54 am

bichon

bichon

A Vet who picks up. Unheard of here

7:08 am

rubyfoo

<00 has trouble with e's

7:09 am

rubyfoo

7:09 am

bichon

What exactly does cleaned up mean?

7:09 am

rubyfoo

Our house is halfway between hers and her clinic

7:10 am

rubyfoo

Because she has always drunk water like a pig \(that' what the French sasy), her neck is all black and clumpy and she won't let me clean her. Also, since she was operated on for entropion before she came here, she wo't let me near her eyes

7:10 am

bichon

oy, sounds dreadful

7:11 am

rubyfoo

pls ecuse the awful typing. |My hands are so old that I can't feel my pinkies

7:11 am

bichon

7:11 am

rubyfoo

She would be magnificent otherwise, as she is a perfect shape and has lovely, soft, long fur

7:12 am

rubyfoo

so COLD! lol

7:12 am

MollyL

Old age is no place for sissies ~ Bette Davis

7:13 am

Anniebrook

Hi Molly, good one allso

7:13 am

bichon

Didn't someone mention that someone snarked at her. For a game devoted to words, I don't understand all this nastiness

7:13 am

rubyfoo

exactly, Molly

7:14 am

rubyfoo

Haz never liked me and used to say nasty stuff like {Next, she'll mention her husbnad''s hrrons"

7:14 am

Anniebrook

Who snarked at Haz? Down with her/his head

7:14 am

rubyfoo

herons*

7:15 am

bichon

Really? ruby what do herons have to do with you?

7:16 am

rubyfoo

I was saying that there was a heron eating my husband'[s fish and she saw tht as part of my perpetual whining and was very nasty about it

7:16 am

Haz1558

Look, it's all a long time ago. I lost my temper with ruby, after she said what seemed to me to be ridiculous things - i.e that Liam Neeson had small thumbs and was therefore inbred.

7:17 am

bichon

The two of you, stop it. Just play nicely

7:17 am

rubyfoo

hello, Haz, lte's bygones be bygones. Frinds, again?

7:17 am

Anniebrook

Well, as I live and breathe. Haz is here.

7:17 am

Haz1558

This happened probably 5 years ago and it's raked up regularly. I don't chat any more because I prefer it that way and I want to stay under any radar.

7:17 am

bichon

I see you every day on QP. Not chog there

7:18 am

Haz1558

Yes, ruby, friends, I normally ignore things but I wanted to set the record straight and apologise.

7:18 am

rubyfoo

I totlly accept and was probably an obnoxious whiner. {{Haz}}

7:18 am

Haz1558

No, no chat log on QP, I just get on with the game. It's a great site.

7:19 am

mattygroves

What's QP?

7:19 am

rubyfoo

what is QP?

7:19 am

car.eeyore

Good morning and hello to all

7:19 am

MLFAN17

7:19 am

Anniebrook

Haz, Just lovely to see you and stay where you are comfortable. What is QP?

7:19 am

Haz1558

ruby, I understand that you have and had a lot to deal with and I shouldn't have lost my temper.

7:19 am

rubyfoo

hello MLF and CAR...

7:19 am

Anniebrook

He would, JJ. I don't know if he could do a musical though.

oh he's very musical

Hi there Welks!!

we like our keurig, too (our tassimos are now in our offices and rv)

9:11 am

hego

I also started with Tassimo.

9:11 am

welki

the one better thing about the tassimo is that you can completely drain them. no way of totally emptying out the reservoir on keurigs

9:12 am

I saw an old one with a drain button, but the new ones don't have that.

9:13 am

Time for a wee break. BBL. *POOF*

9:13 am

heh - i still have my farberware percolator and a couple of stovetop percs as well. they're fine for a crowd, but for one or two cups, can't beat the machine, especially if you don't like to drink coffee that's been sitting around for a while

9:13 am

A fresh cup every time, can't beat that! And any flavor you like.

But I still have my old ones.

9:15 am

I gave up on the carafe type drip thing.

9:15 am

It's perc or Keurig.

9:16 am

yum!

9:16 am

during the week, it's straight coffee, but flavored ones are good every now and then

9:18 am

I like European type coffee. Vienna and French roast. And espresso.

9:20 am

i like espresso, too, and have had it from the machine. something about making it fresh, though --- see, if i have the time to enjoy an espresso, i probably have the time to dig out the pot *lol*

i dont have a do 7- must be the one i am missing. i am going to have to list soon

3:50 pm

3:53 pm

Wolvie

sounds like in 5/10- motionless :-)

3:56 pm

Marc Freeman

here is the clue for the do6---do man's name + bend at the k***. Is that correct? If so I tried the n, r, and t which are the only choices and none of those worked.

3:57 pm

Wolvie

remove the last e from the do 6, put in a consonant then end in the t. so use the reindeer name, then t :-)

3:57 pm

MollyL

No, as you said, it does not build off the 6. Add a consonant to a reindeer name. Dasher, Dancer, etc.

5:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

anyone watch peter pan last night? what did you think?

5:49 pm

Anniebrook

I didnt watch it..wrapped up in the Garner tragedy

5:49 pm

Anniebrook

Owl, did you watch Peter Pan

5:49 pm

penquis

i thought Walken was flat...

5:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

i did.

5:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

another o!

5:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

another o!

5:51 pm

Anniebrook

Oh, Oh!

5:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

i thought that as well. i could not remember the original well enough to compare the neverland stuff. did hook want to blow it up in that one? i did not remember that.

5:52 pm

penquis

don't recall....i just thought the part called for a little more of an over the top performance...

5:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

i agree.

5:54 pm

penquis

he seemed to forget his lines at one point, too....

5:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

he just looked wasthed out in that black wig

5:55 pm

penquis

yes, he needed more eye makeup....

5:55 pm

penquis

hard to beat Cyril Richard.....wasn't that the guy who played him in the old version?

5:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

the initial flying sequence was lovely. the soundstage was the old grumman aircraft plant in long island!

5:56 pm

penquis

i thought the flying was ok....

5:56 pm

penquis

can someone clue the on 7?

5:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

mary martin is a tough act to follow. and back then, we believed...

5:57 pm

Lizlin

on 7 - has the comparative ending

5:57 pm

penquis

true....i thought Alison Williams did ok....certainly better than Carrie Underwood in Sound of Music (wasn't that her?)....

5:58 pm

penquis

ty liz....got it...

5:58 pm

Lizlin

yw

5:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, but wondering why peter is always a woman.

6:00 pm

Lizlin

Perhaps dates back to classic panto.

6:00 pm

penquis

i was wondering that myself last night...perhaps the music is written in too high a register... ;o)

6:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

could be...

6:01 pm

Lizlin

Or perhaps to get a young / old look.

6:01 pm

Lizlin

But I don't really go with that reasoning.

6:02 pm

penquis

i thought the singing and choreography were pretty good...

6:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

tiger lily was weak

6:05 pm

MollyL

It's hard to get a boy the right age who can pull off the lead in a show like that.

6:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

a young looking male would suffice.

6:06 pm

Lizlin

Suppose so - can't really have a boy whose voice has broken playing Peter.

6:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh heck, i forgot about that!

6:09 pm

Lizlin

Grrr! US spelling caught me out again - ar 5!

6:09 pm

MollyL

Yep, there are plenty of waifish looking men, but they all have adult voices.

6:10 pm

MollyL

I'm not sure why NBC insists on doing these make over musicals. I'm still reeling from Carrie Underwood as Fraulein Maria.

6:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

the general opnion seemd to be it was horrendous.

6:11 pm

penquis

apparently they got ratings higher than their normal Thurs. night fare.....not saying much, is it?

6:11 pm

Lizlin

I'll make sure not to watch it, if it comes here - on your recommendations!

6:11 pm

MollyL

Oh...we are sorry...we don't add all those u's in words...

6:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

thusda night is a tv wasteland.

6:11 pm

penquis

well people expected it to be awful....i didn't think it was that bad....

6:11 pm

Lizlin

Apologies accepted, Molly :)

6:12 pm

MollyL

Thursday night belongs to ABC. I'm not sure any network can break the Shonda Rimes trifecta.

6:12 pm

penquis

*don't even know what molly is talking about*...

6:13 pm

MollyL

All three shows on ABC Thursday night are Shonda Rimes shows. Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder.

6:13 pm

Lizlin

Wish the latest series of Greys would come over here soon.

6:14 pm

penquis

ah...ty molly....don't watch them.....i had started the murder one but got behind so i gave it up....

6:16 pm

MollyL

What season are you up to Liz? I didn't know they were delayed overseas.

6:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow, those upper right corner words really snake arounde

6:17 pm

Lizlin

Christina just left, Molly.

6:18 pm

MollyL

Okay, we are half way through the next season. So it's not too delayed for you all.

6:18 pm

Lizlin

Fireworks. Fun grid, even with the twisty ones. Thanks to Lickety for getting his server sorted out.

6:18 pm

penquis

congrats!

6:18 pm

Lizlin

I keep checking but can't find a start date for it here yet.

6:18 pm

Lizlin

Thanks, pen.

6:19 pm

MollyL

No big spoiler to say that the show is really lacking without Sandra Oh.

6:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

down to 62, time for a break.

6:19 pm

Lizlin

I can imagine that! But I can understand ac5's wanting to move on.

6:20 pm

MollyL

I can too and Grey's has gone on longer than most people thought it would.

6:20 pm

Lizlin

I wonder if they will bring it to an end soon - the ER producers were brave enough to do it!

6:21 pm

MollyL

I still watch it, but I think the writers have run out of interesting story lines.

6:21 pm

penquis

patrick dempsey helped build a cancer center here in maine....he's a local guy...

6:22 pm

Lizlin

Same here - I think that they're dragging stuff out - like the new half-sister.

6:22 pm

Lizlin

Nice thing to do, pen.

6:22 pm

MollyL

He's also gorgeous. I have a major crush on him.

6:22 pm

ivesy3

i still watch it too.. but i think they lost alot when sandra oh left

6:22 pm

Lizlin

Not disagreeing!

6:22 pm

penquis

he seems very nice....i know someone who used to babysit him...

6:22 pm

MollyL

Amy Shepherd was a good addition. They should have done that a long time ago.

6:22 pm

ivesy3

oh yes he is quite nice to look at

6:23 pm

Lizlin

And on that happy no4, it's now 10.20 and I guess i should get the day going.

6:23 pm

MollyL

I watched the entire series front to back over the summer. You really get the gist of how those people have aged when you do that.

6:24 pm

penquis

bye liz....

6:24 pm

Lizlin

Watching Morse (UK detective) now - same thing - see how they aged!

6:24 pm

Lizlin

Enjoy your evenings :)

6:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

bye, liz

6:25 pm

MollyL

Heigl still looks pretty good though. I'm watching her new series and she still looks the same as the early Grey's days.

6:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

she's pretty young, in her thirties?

6:35 pm

Jacula

Hi all! 69 words left here to find. Guess I'd better get on with it.

6:35 pm

penquis

hi...

6:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi, jacs!

6:36 pm

Jacula

Hi TO! How are you?

6:36 pm

Jacula

Hi penquis - How're things?

6:37 pm

penquis

6:38 pm

penquis

6:38 pm

Jacula

Well done, penquis! *~*~*~*

6:38 pm

penquis

ty!

6:39 pm

Jacula

I'm fine, thanks, penquis. A bit stressed having 3 mini wrecking-balls in the house (the kittens) but they're fun, too.

6:39 pm

penquis

ah...understood....

6:40 pm

Jacula

:D

6:40 pm

Jacula

Not even going to attempt to put up a Christmas tr4 or hand ca4's this year! LOL

6:41 pm

Jacula

*hanG ca4's

6:41 pm

bichon

6:42 pm

penquis

i don't do much decorating...got a spray to hang outside my door....that's about it...

6:42 pm

penquis

6:42 pm

Jacula

Sorry, bichon, haven't got that one yet.

6:42 pm

bichon

6:43 pm

penquis

6:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am fine jacs...KITTENS!

6:43 pm

penquis

related to the writing of verses....

6:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

potatoes?

6:43 pm

bichon

ty, totally blanked on that

6:43 pm

penquis

hahaha...

6:44 pm

bichon

that's what I thought TO

6:44 pm

penquis

did you get it bichon?

6:44 pm

Jacula

Yes, TO, kittens! Later, I'll attempt to enter my photo thing on here and see if I can find a pic which will show all 3 without exploding the chog.

6:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

how did you get three?

6:44 pm

bichon

yes, pen, said ty

6:45 pm

Jacula

Got the no6 now. Thanks, penquis!

6:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

ooh, i just saw there are 9s and an 11!

6:46 pm

Jacula

TO _ I got three because I sent my daughter to check out 2 and there were only 3 in the litter and she couldn't bear to leave one behind.

6:47 pm

penquis

yw...

6:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

were you catless then?

6:50 pm

Jacula

TO - Yes. Our remaining cat had been put to sleep over a year before and I was missing the feline company.

6:51 pm

Jacula

Poor Tiggsey (our 'hunter cat') had to 'go' years before his time due to an incurable illness.

6:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry.

6:58 pm

Jacula

That's okay, TO. No rabbits, guinea pigs or anything left. Just me and a number of neighbour's cats who moved into the garden to say 'hello' (or more like were attracted by the cat food I was putting out for the hedgehogs).

7:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh my - hedgehogs!

7:05 pm

Jacula

There were just over a dozen hedgehogs last winter,TO, but, sadly, only 3 this year.

7:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

it just tickles me to think of them in the wild, so to speak. i hate to see them as pets.

7:07 pm

Jacula

Most people in UK, TO, wouldn't dream of keeping them as pets.

7:08 pm

Jacula

To us, here in UK, they're one of the many creatures that trundle around our gardens after dark.

7:08 pm

Jacula

(11 words left to find!)

7:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

never realized they were nocturnal. are they garden pests or garden friends?

7:11 pm

Jacula

Garden friends, TO.

7:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

so, how is everything else?

7:17 pm

Jacula

Fine, TO! My gall bladder has mostly been in hiding since it heard my surgeon say it is going to be removed.. Not had a date for the op yet, thought they did say it might be just before Christmas (but I could reschedule if that was inconvenient). Sad times at the moment for Other Half as his ex-FIL died last week after a long battle with Parkinson's disease. Not great times for my daughter, since a fraud gang managed to steal all of her bank savings she'd worked hard for to put towards doing her PhD. Hopefully, the bank will give her the thousands of pounds she was defrauded of back.

7:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh my! lots of things. glad your gall bladder is behaving at the moment.

7:21 pm

Jacula

That is just some of the things, TO, but I'm glad by gall bladder is behaving, too. LOL

7:21 pm

Jacula

Life's a journey and a half at times, isn't it?

7:22 pm

Jacula

One word left to find, which, unsurprisingly, is an i/11.

7:22 pm

MimiCat

Just popping in for a moment and saw the chat. Jacula, if you have stones (either gallbladder or kidney), try an herbal remedy called Chanca Piedra. It worked WONDER for a friend of mine.

7:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

what?

7:23 pm

Jacula

Got it! FIREWORKS!

7:23 pm

MimiCat

It is an herbal remedy that comes in pill form that has been used in South American for decades.

7:24 pm

MimiCat

You can get it on Amazon...not expensive.

7:24 pm

Jacula

Hi Mimi. I'll make a note of that remedy. Thank you. I've found following a virtually fat-free diet works in the interim (but isn't great for 'going to the loo'!)

7:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

yay, jacs!

7:25 pm

MimiCat

This both helps removes stones and when they're gone keeps them from forming again. She had kidney stones for years almost constantly. Hasn't had ONE for months after using this.

7:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

so nice to see you. we've never been fb friends because of all the crap that goes on here,, unfortunately.

7:26 pm

MimiCat

Did you see my definition of FB, TO?

7:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

no.

7:27 pm

MimiCat

Here it is: A bunch of people with nothing to say, saying it constantly.

7:27 pm

Jacula

It's a shame you're not on FB, TO. You'd be able to see all the photos and videos of the kittens if you were. However, I am slowly in the process of setting up a blog for them and will invite you to that when it's up and running.

7:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

but when i see you post to a mutual, i realize how i miss you.

7:28 pm

MimiCat

I only use it for Babble and to keep in touch with friends far away. But I'm amazed at the number of old boyfriends who have found me....wouldn't have even guessed they'd be looking!

7:28 pm

Jacula

I like FB - it kept me in touch with my daughter re the personal, offline chat, when she was away travelling the world and I could see all her photos. It also keeps me in touch both in the private and public parts with many members of my family and old school friends who I might not otherwise see much of.

7:29 pm

MimiCat

I think it's a matter of tailoring it to your taste and style. I like being able to keep in touch with old friends again.

7:30 pm

Jacula

Twitter is another thing altogether! I was persuaded to join by writer friends but couldn't make head nor tail of it! Never go there now.

7:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

why?

7:30 pm

MimiCat

No even interested a little bit in Twitter.

7:30 pm

MimiCat

Not...

7:31 pm

Jacula

Why what, TO?

7:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

why did you stop tweeting?

7:32 pm

MimiCat

Gotta run. Glad I could be helpful, Jacula. Hugs to all.

7:33 pm

Jacula

See you, Mimi. xxx

7:33 pm

Jacula

9:17 pm

Bugsaw

sometimes it is a reason why I lurk more now

9:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

i hear the lurking thing often. came out just to see jacs earlier

9:20 pm

Bugsaw

she is a gem isn't she

9:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

remember when she was smited? LOL

9:26 pm

Bugsaw

sorry for the delay but No, I don't remember her being smited. As opposed to smitten I presume. Did God smote her?

9:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. yes he did.

9:27 pm

Bugsaw

OMG. for what?

9:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

should that be smitten? i must look it up

9:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

for a row with a very umpleasant babbler. they both were

9:28 pm

Bugsaw

I think smitten is falling in love, so not the same to me.

9:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

omg, i hope she does not mind.

9:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

now, it would be just another day.

9:31 pm

Bugsaw

Oh now I understand. A horrible, no good, very bad day that is only funny long after you have determined you have lived through it. I have had many of those. THey make good stories later. I do hope she is on her feet again.

9:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh bugs, this was ages ago.

9:32 pm

Bugsaw

There are too many unpleasant Babblers lately. The tone has changed and I find it very sad

9:33 pm

Bugsaw

No worries. I might have heard the story and my shaky memory has let it go.

9:33 pm

Bugsaw
