hi, all. Such sadness for someone I love. My cousin was recently married and was on his honeymoon in Cozumel, Mexico. He and his bride were experienced divers, and were on a dive on Monday. She became ill, and swam to the surfAce of the water. She died in my cousin's arms, of a bleed in her liver. Today would have been her birthday.

4:12 am

rubyfoo

good morning?

4:14 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} my dear ruby

4:15 am

rubyfoo

{{rose}} how are you? I had very little time to spend on those luscious bit grids

4:19 am

grannyrose

they were fun grids, ruby. i'm sorry you couldn't find time to do them.

4:21 am

grannyrose

i am continuing to take it very easy. i have an appointment after christmas with my GP. will see what she says and does then.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

I would jump in for a few mins but then real life would intervene

4:22 am

rubyfoo

How are you handling your pain?

4:23 am

grannyrose

i'm trying to not use the heavy duty stuff. i found out something interesting today.

4:24 am

rubyfoo

what?

4:24 am

sprite

good morning dear friends

4:24 am

rubyfoo

I save my morphine for when it's more than a 15

4:24 am

rubyfoo

hello Sprite. |Your pix will be sent this afternoon

4:25 am

sprite

awesome ruby :)

4:25 am

grannyrose

gp wanted me to use panadeine forte, which contains codeine which converts to morphine when digested. 2 pan forte convert to 9mg of morphine. the one oxycodone tablet i use for my pain, converts to 4mg of morphine. and how does this make me addicted?

4:25 am

rubyfoo

I can handle anything 8 or less.

4:25 am

sprite

ah I wonder how crowded the penalty box was this morning at fl4 time!

4:25 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} my darling sprite. whoopee!! she's here...

4:26 am

sprite

*hugs rose* So sorry to be sleeping so late. But I need it. Miss you though!

4:26 am

rubyfoo

I take paracetemol + codeine every morning, and have for several years, and it controls the pain enough for e to get stuff done. I haven't had to increase the dosage (except when it's a 15) since the beginning. Am I an addict?

4:27 am

grannyrose

my darling, it is so lovely to see you, dear friend. np's with the time today.

4:27 am

rubyfoo

and, if I am, tant pis!

4:28 am

sprite

I don't think either of you is addicted. If I thought you were, I would say so. But rose, you cannot be addicted to something you take once every few weeks. No way in hell. Just... no way.

4:28 am

grannyrose

lol, sprite. what a true friend you are....

4:28 am

sprite

and ruby, paracod can be addicting, yeah, but one every morning and no more over the day, still does not an addiction make. If you feel yourself taking more and more, then you should worry.

4:29 am

rubyfoo

I think if I didn't take the (small) dose every morning, the pain would get worse from inactivity

4:29 am

rubyfoo

I save the "had" stuff for when it's unbearable, and that's not even once a month, thank God!

4:29 am

rubyfoo

hard*

4:29 am

sprite

*grin* I am, sweetie. The kind that makes enemies superfluous ;) I never avoided to tell my friends some ugly truths when I worried about them.

4:30 am

sprite

sounds like you have it perfectly under control, ruby.

4:30 am

rubyfoo

and Rose, to counter the miserable side effects of the pain meds, I now eat prunes with pieces of emmenthal which cut the sweetness. 4-5/day

4:31 am

rubyfoo

must go. see you sweeties soon!

4:31 am

rubyfoo

must go. see you sweeties soon!

4:31 am

sprite

bye ruby, good luck today :) *hug*

4:34 am

sprite

also, rose, you should tell your gp that no changes in medication regimen can be made until you have seen your pain specialist. And he or she will probably be able to prescribe you the oxy if they think it necessary.

4:34 am

grannyrose

spriite, shall i take photos of my gp's face when i tell her the facts about codeine and oxycodone?

4:35 am

sprite

oh please do. And then her face when you tell her: "I prefer to stick to the lowest effective dose."

4:35 am

sprite

two of my favorite animals are in this grid

4:35 am

grannyrose

sprite, that is what i am hoping. for goodness sake, part of my treatment is a week on intravenous ketamine...

4:36 am

grannyrose

roflol....yeah, my alternative is the lower dose, isn't it?

4:37 am

sprite

well it would be idiocy to change the regimen just before you are seeing a pain specialist. Goes straight against common sense. You are NOT addicted. And you may be a little dependant on it, but that is because you need the peace of mind that there is something you can do when things become unbearable. And for heaven's sake, that is what the pill is for. We are talking about one pill once every 2-3 weeks for crying out loud.

4:37 am

sprite

dependent*

4:39 am

grannyrose

if dependent means it is the only med i can take to ease the pain, then i am dependent. i guess it's a matter of defining dependence. by law it is usually a daily usage, not fortnightly.

4:41 am

sprite

I was thinking more like emotionally dependent. As in, don't take it away from me or I will put up a fight, that kind of dependent. Which in your case is needed. Because you need the certainty that there is something left to try when all else fails.

4:42 am

sprite

if that one A had been a G, this might have been a whale of a grid.

4:45 am

grannyrose

oh, i found another word for your babble dictionary

4:45 am

sprite

oh please tell me :)

4:46 am

grannyrose

aeolips....lips which last a long time when kissing

4:46 am

sprite

oooo I like it

4:47 am

mattygroves

This grid may be short, but it's hard. I have nothing bigger than a five

4:47 am

sprite

I added pardont recently. Asking forgiveness for something you didn't do.

4:48 am

sprite

hey matty :)

4:48 am

mattygroves

How about pinowl - a really small nighttime bird of prey

4:48 am

PMS

he

4:48 am

sprite

I can offer 2 6s. Nothing bigger either, lol.

4:49 am

mattygroves

I haven't started on the list yet - what are your two sixes (stats)?

4:49 am

sprite

awwww that is so sweet. In it goes, matty, thanks!

4:50 am

sprite

so6/21 and po6/21

4:50 am

mattygroves

Got the so6/21 now, thanks to you!

4:51 am

sprite

yay :D

4:51 am

mattygroves

And now the PO - thanks Sprite!

4:51 am

mattygroves

It's amazing how you see them once you know even anything about them

4:51 am

sprite

gj! And yes, that is how it works for me too.

4:52 am

mattygroves

If you combined the pi6/21 with the so4/4, that's one person performing Rachmaninoff

4:53 am

grannyrose

there are about 6 weird words as far as i am concerned. the rest are mostly quite common or a frequent babblet.

4:53 am

sprite

lol indeed. Only needs a space to be valid.

4:53 am

sprite

did you see my new babble word, rose? I posted it just before your squirrel ;)

4:54 am

grannyrose

yes hun, i saw it when i checked the chog for yesterday. i was checking to make sure you were okay.

4:55 am

grannyrose

btw, that squirrel's name?? it's IBS...*sigh*

4:55 am

sprite

awww you are such a darling, rose. *hugs* I am mostly ok. Just tired and in pain. It will pass. December is never a good month for me.

4:56 am

sprite

ugh, yeah, that squirrel. I know it. Not the cutest of the bunch.

4:56 am

grannyrose

yeah i know sweetheart. i hope i can change that for you. xoxox

4:57 am

sprite

already are. This is a better december so far than I had in years. And it looks like we can keep it relaxed and pleasant all the way.

4:58 am

grannyrose

nice, dearest....i hope you can enjoy it and all it represents.

4:58 am

sprite

did I tell you my daughter insisted on watching Little Lord Fauntleroy with me? It is tradition, she said :D

4:59 am

grannyrose

oh i love that...what a darling she is!!

5:06 am

sprite

For me, if I could manage things my way, December would be about Midwinter. When nature reaches its deepest, most inward point and starts turning outward again... not visible yet, but it is happening. Which for me ties in with Jesus being born, the Light in the world but not yet visible to the world. Protected by his mother. Allowed to grow up before having to shine His light outward.

5:11 am

grannyrose

my last post eaten by cyberspace. i sadi...brb, going to get my meds ready....*sigh*

5:11 am

grannyrose

ugh, said

5:11 am

grannyrose

ugh, said

5:12 am

sprite

had to repost mine as well.

5:12 am

grannyrose

what you say, my dear, is so true.

5:13 am

sprite

one day, rose! One day we will celebrate Xmas together. And enjoy every second of it.

5:14 am

grannyrose

christmas in july, right?

5:15 am

sprite

*giggles* Only if we come your way. Otherwise it would be Xmas in December. As it should be. Grin.

5:16 am

grannyrose

if the good Lord wills, we will be with you and yours next july. and i want one with all the trimmings, please.

5:17 am

sprite

lolllll! No way. I mean, Xmas in July? With a bit of luck it will be bbq weather!

5:19 am

grannyrose

yes july....you don't have christmas in july? we do, as we can have all the glories of a traditional hot christmas dinner in the cooler weather.

5:19 am

grannyrose

btw, put the turkey on the bbq....lol

5:19 am

sprite

hehehe I am afraid it wouldn't work, rose! It is high summer here by then :D

5:20 am

grannyrose

will send over don's christmas pudding recipe.

5:20 am

sprite

ok. Do I have to start it now?

5:20 am

grannyrose

exactly dearest. it is high summer here in december....and we usually have a hot christmas dinner

5:20 am

sprite

that ci7 is an odd one

5:21 am

grannyrose

yup, that's one of the 6 weird ones.

5:23 am

sprite

I wouldn't know how to make you a traditional Xmas dinner anyway, tbh. It isn't like in america here. Please Rose, tell me you are joking!

5:24 am

grannyrose

sprite, even when it is 40C in the shade, we still have christmas dinner with all the trimmings.

5:25 am

sprite

but but but... NOT when you are in the netherlands, right? Please? *trembling bottom lip*

5:25 am

josephjames

could you clue the ci7 then?

5:26 am

sprite

sure, joseph, and hi

5:26 am

josephjames

hello. sorry to interrupt the christmas dinner chat.

5:26 am

grannyrose

we have hot roasted chicken/turkey/beef or lamb, hot roast potatos and pumpkin, steamed/boiled vegs of carrots, peas, and beans. lashings of gravy and cranberry sauce/apple sauce. then followed by hot plum pudding with brandy custard, cream and or ice cream.

5:26 am

sprite

ci + santa lives on the North ***e + not out.

5:27 am

josephjames

thanks

5:27 am

grannyrose

g'day jj. nice clue sprite

5:27 am

sprite

no need to be sorry, joseph! Glad you are jumping in chat.

5:27 am

grannyrose

*hands sprite a tissue* yup

5:28 am

sprite

it is an impure form of marble, the ci7. Such a practical word to know :)

5:28 am

sprite

noooooo rose. Noooooo. We celebrate in December. Not in July.

5:28 am

josephjames

so, maybe they make marble chips out of it?

5:29 am

sprite

roflol jj!

5:30 am

grannyrose

sprite, please to google christmas in july...yessss, yesssss

5:30 am

josephjames

that wasn't meant to be funny but, ok :)

5:31 am

sprite

only in Aussie, rose, only in Aussie! Where you won't be... when in the netherlands, do as the dutchies...

5:31 am

grannyrose

sprite, try to enjoy a hot christmas dinner when the ambient temperature is 40+C

5:31 am

grannyrose

awwww....but, but, but

5:31 am

sprite

ouch, sorry jj. It was funny to me, seeing how the chip word is almost in it.

5:32 am

sprite

that is what I am trying to tell you, sweetie... let's NOT do that in the netherlands :)

5:32 am

josephjames

no need to be sorry. i was just wondering what you would do with impure marble and thought they might make those chips that people sometimes use on paths.

5:33 am

grannyrose

okay, sprite, we will do as the dutchies....just serve us up a traditional dutch christmas dinner....lololol

5:33 am

sprite

I wouldn't be surprised if they used this, indeed, jj. In the def it says the marble is layered.

5:33 am

sprite

omg rose... you've got to be kidding me! How about we watch the traditional movies together, and forget about the Xmas dinner?

5:34 am

5:55 am

grannyrose

herin, what happened today?

5:55 am

lbdawger

I'm sorry to read that the pain hasn't abated, (((Rose)))

5:57 am

grannyrose

lbd, it is now pretty bad arthritis in BOTH hips. it simply gives me no rest, dear. plus the nerve pain in the right knee...

5:58 am

herinfernallady

My best friend just gave me like 20 pairs of jeans and shorts, work jackets, tops and bras

5:58 am

grannyrose

lbd, my GP has been trying to tell me that the pain killer i have been taking is excessive. whereas, the pain killer she is pushing is more over the top.

5:59 am

grannyrose

oh, herin....and you so deserve a windfall like that, hun.

5:59 am

lbdawger

tell her you don't care as long as you get relief!

5:59 am

lbdawger

herin, what a lovely gift and friend!

5:59 am

herinfernallady

Snuggles Granny. My friend just lost 50kilos and counting she was a City chic XL and is now a XS

grannyrose

lbd and herin...trust me...GP will be fully informed when i see her on the 29th.

6:02 am

lbdawger

I've been trying to use the copper method to get relief in my hands and wrists. I can't really tell the difference while wearing the gloves, but that could be because I'm constantly taking them off to wash my hands or need bare hands to cook.

6:03 am

grannyrose

lbd...my granny insisted the copper bracelet did her the world of good.

6:04 am

crosshair

howdy her.. sorry, I drifted away to put the kettle one

6:04 am

crosshair

herin*

6:04 am

grannyrose

hope you have a lovely cuppa in your fist, crossy

6:05 am

lbdawger

Granny, my sister has arthritis and the stuff that was working no longer is available in the US. I can't remember what she's taking now, but she's trying the copper bracelet and other natural ways as much as possible. She really just wants a drug that will give her relief, and not poison her system.

6:05 am

crosshair

yup, just as I like it; in a tick mug and strong enough that I have to fight it for the teaspoon:)

6:05 am

crosshair

thick*

6:06 am

grannyrose

roflol, crossy. for me also.

6:07 am

grannyrose

lbd....i agree with your sister. i too hate all the manufactured drugs. give me the natural stuff....and i am a hospital-trained registered nurse.

6:08 am

crosshair

My big hands and this keyboard are going to be the death of me , i swear! Looks like a heavy typo day for crossy:(

6:08 am

herinfernallady

My other best friend is looking after the cats. Her partner just came out of hospital because some dumb ass fell asleep at the wheel and broke/dislocated his heel and foot

6:09 am

grannyrose

6:10 am

crosshair

6:11 am

lbdawger

9:10 am

Kaplan the Magne

Chinese food and Movie day coming up!

Kaplan the Magne

Hi.

9:11 am

Scrabbler

I have been craving Chinese food, Kaplan.

9:12 am

Scrabbler

I can't wait, Welki. I focus on Jan 2nd.

9:13 am

welki

again we agree, scrabs. just too much activity jammed into a short span of time

9:13 am

Scrabbler

Too many expectations

9:13 am

welki

people aren't filled with 'cheer,' but are short tempered, tired and confrontational

9:13 am

Kaplan the Magne

People can probably opt out of the hype. What would that look like?

9:14 am

welki

would look like scrabbler and me, i suppose

9:14 am

Jeff7

We have pretty much opted out the past few years....now it's a spectator sprot for us lol

9:14 am

welki

i don't celebrate, but appreciate the celebration of others and try to enjoy the season - getting more difficult every year, though

9:15 am

Kaplan the Magne

Like, just don't do it? Even though it is good for the economy when people crowd the malls,

9:15 am

Scrabbler

It would mean you are too inert to put up any Xmas decorations or lights and you shop online only---that's me.

9:15 am

Kaplan the Magne

I don't celebrate either, clearly.

9:15 am

welki

clearly :)

9:16 am

Kaplan the Magne

But I fondly remember Christmas in Manhattan.

9:16 am

welki

yep, me too

9:16 am

Scrabbler

I like that, Jeff-- spectator sport.

9:16 am

Kaplan the Magne

B.Altmans store windows, for example.

Kaplan the Magne

Miracle on 34th St. NOT the remake.

Are the vineyards sustaining much damage?

11:12 am

hego

(notice my priorities)

11:12 am

rururocks

11:13 am

rururocks

Healdsburg is a mess

11:13 am

hego

I saw that on tv

11:13 am

hego

Yountville didn't look too good either.

11:22 am

rubyfoo

11:22 am

hego

yw, I thought it might be.

11:22 am

rubyfoo

that excludes me. I walk on water since I can't swim

11:23 am

hego

Worth the trip.

11:27 am

Ruby, the painter messed up you lights?

11:27 am

rururocks

go to your breaker box ruby.. you'll see one off

11:28 am

rururocks

11:28 am

rubyfoo

11:28 am

hego

bad Ruru!

11:28 am

11:29 am

rubyfoo

tomorrow morning I will. He's a charmer, but has stopped working at about half way

11:30 am

hego

Why do they do that?

11:30 am

rururocks

he's French

11:31 am

hego

haha

11:31 am

rubyfoo

tu pense?

11:31 am

hego

we think

11:32 am

rururocks

..there is always tomorrow.. that seems to be the motto with workmen in France. (ask Peter Mayle)

11:32 am

hego

And Italy, very much so.

11:32 am

rubyfoo

I thought of him a lot when we were doing the house but it was different because we were still living in Miami

11:32 am

rururocks

I love the Peter Mayle books.. and devoured them

11:33 am

hego

I love his books.

11:33 am

rubyfoo

Did you know that Peter Mayle did a children's sex education book in the early 60's, "Where do we come from?"

11:33 am

hego

me too Ruru.

11:33 am

rubyfoo

I wonder if it's still in print

11:33 am

hego

I am also quite jealous of him.

11:33 am

rururocks

obviously my mom didn't read that book

11:34 am

rururocks

I am doing Provence and the Loire sometime next year

11:35 am

rubyfoo

sounds like a nice trip

11:36 am

hego

Lovely Ruru. You will be right at home.

11:36 am

rururocks

I got as far south as Avignon last trip

11:36 am

rubyfoo

<-- lives Avignon

11:36 am

rururocks

I still want to go to Palette and Cassis and Bandol

11:36 am

hego

I love that southern area.

11:37 am

hego

Great food and wine down there.

11:37 am

rururocks

I did too.. ruby .. so much history.. and amazing markets and food

11:37 am

rubyfoo

I've never been to Cassis, but it looks beautiful from the Tour de France coverage

11:37 am

rururocks

I want to visit a few of my favorite wineries in the Loire too

11:37 am

hego

I stayed in Avignon for a week. Nice trip.

11:38 am

rubyfoo

We are straight north from Provence, over the southern Alps

11:38 am

rururocks

Cassis may be one of the most beautiful places on earth ruby

11:38 am

hego

Ru will be in his glory.

11:39 am

rururocks

I'll have to bone up on my French again

11:39 am

rubyfoo

we could play scrabble in French, ru

11:39 am

hego

Everyone speaks Engliish.

11:40 am

hego

But I enjoy trying anyway.

11:40 am

rubyfoo

not in this village! Nobody speaks English except the snowbirds

11:40 am

hego

you aren't in a tourist area, are you?

11:41 am

hego

I should say a place where a lot of American and English go.

11:41 am

rubyfoo

Annecy is touristic, but it's mostly European tourists, so they don't use English much

11:41 am

hego

lina

11:41 am

hego

Phooey!

11:41 am

rururocks

*hego is getting desperate with the L*

11:42 am

hego

Not really paying attention, ru. :)

11:42 am

rubyfoo

the motorcycle hordes come from Italy and Switzerland in the summer (but not to my village)

11:42 am

hego

You're lucky.

11:42 am

hego

They are so noisy.

11:43 am

rururocks

yeah.. and a little overdone on the leather if you know what I mean

11:43 am

rubyfoo

our village itself isn't much but the countryside is gorgeous and the view fro my house is spectacular

11:43 am

rubyfoo

ya think? My DIL used to ride a Harley, but in California

11:44 am

hego

So nice, Ruby.

11:44 am

rubyfoo

good night everybody

11:45 am

hego

We were up in the Berkshires and they just ruined it with the racket.

11:45 am

hego

Good night Ruby.

11:45 am

rururocks

my friends son in law has a place in the Berkshires

11:46 am

rururocks

right on the lake they say. I haven't been there

11:46 am

hego

Nice up there.

11:46 am

rururocks

that's what they say

11:47 am

hego

Stockbridge, James Taylor, Tanglewood.

11:48 am

hego

Very preppy.

11:48 am

rururocks

ah.. yeah.. he's an attorney

11:53 am

rururocks

11:53 am

Have a good day.

Only here for a quick scan for clues. Slim pickings. ðŸ˜«

3:52 pm

Quick! Quick! Everyone look! Soodle is here for her 2 and a 1/2 seconds!

3:54 pm

Soodle

Good day/ evening, Molly! ðŸ˜

4:00 pm

Soodle

For no other reason than to annoy the divine Ms L, I'm still here! Dishwasher needs emptying, laundry needs putting away, I need to call my son, daughter, Mother & Father, but All are being deferred to defy Molly! Lol. (Actually - thanks Molls. I need a break!)

4:09 pm

MollyL

Well good. It's about damn time you took a break from all that. Glass of wine?

4:10 pm

MollyL

I have no tales of woe to tell you, but I do hope you are enjoying the Christmas season.

4:12 pm

Soodle

No wine yet, but it's still early-ish. Its going to be a busy week. Prodigals returning, etc. ðŸ˜ƒ

4:13 pm

Soodle

And, the phone rings.... Laters....

4:13 pm

MollyL

Ah, good. The prodigals are flocking homeward. Lock up the liquor cabinet and get out the giant aspirin bottle and the cold compresses.

4:15 pm

Nef

Good Afternoon, if anyone is here.

4:17 pm

i am...

4:18 pm

hi pen; how are you?

4:18 pm

penquis

fine, thanks...you?

4:19 pm

Nef

getting old I fear. We're having nice weather (temps up to 50 (F) today; but wet so achey; and my brain is mush.

4:20 pm

penquis

i hear ya....my arm is achey today....just iced my elbow....

4:20 pm

Nef

I've done such a nice job of hiding Christmas presents through the last several months that I can't find them!

4:21 pm

penquis

lol....mine are all on the bed in the guest room...i will be happy when they are wrapped and gone!

4:21 pm

MollyL

Everyone applaud! Soodle has done the "In And Out Dance"!!!!

4:22 pm

penquis

*clap, clap, clap*...

4:23 pm

Nef

Well, it's for DH and for the grandson who are both here; so I had to hide them. I have my presents packed and ready for the post office for family in MT.; I've only lost gifts for the people that live here

4:23 pm

MollyL

Oh, you can't hide gifts hither, thither and yon. It's better to get a locking cabinet if you have to hide them from people. You will never find them all if you tuck them away over several months.

4:25 pm

Nef

I did find the ones I bought in September; those are wrapped and under the tree. My biggest problem are the ones I bought in the past 2-3 weeks!

4:25 pm

Nef

(They do say that recent memory goes first, right?)

4:25 pm

unfortunately, yes...

4:35 pm

MollyL

To go with I grilled some hamburgers and cooked some sugar snap peas. We are eating on the discount side these days to justify what I will spend on the Christmas roast beast.

4:38 pm

Anniebrook

Done. Going to start thinking about dinner. Bye, dear babblers

4:38 pm

bichon

We make pizza every Sunday

4:40 pm

penquis

bye annie...

4:51 pm

MollyL

I usually try to do a nicer Sunday dinner than this, but we are living frugal these days.

4:53 pm

bichon

So are we. And Roast Beef is not part of our budget

4:57 pm

MollyL

I buy one nice roast beef tenderloin for Christmas dinner. That is the extent of my high dollar beef purchases.

5:09 pm

Nef

Isn't it sad that we can't afford "good" roast beef more than once or twice a year these days? I remember having steak at least once a month when we were youngâ€¦.

5:12 pm

MollyL

Yeah Nef, I remember being able to afford better cuts of beef years ago. And seafood too.

hi, bich.

5:50 pm

I get my meat and seafood at Costco. For fish, I get only wild caught salmon, Cod and haddock. For meat, we usually only eat chicken and ground turkey.

5:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

i need to eat mre fish. better protein for the money

5:55 pm

bichon

I read a good article today about what fish not to eat if you don't want to ingest too much mercury

6:26 pm

Hi. Just starting. Following the Seattle Seahawk game and putting dinner in the oven. Now it's still light outside and our Christmas lights are on. My husband put them up yesterday and today he put wreaths on the gates.

6:36 pm

rururocks

I can't stand the Seattle Seahawks

6:38 pm

rururocks

Dirty players. Lots of flagrant holding and cheap shots that they get away with

6:39 pm

rururocks

I do like Russell Wilson though

6:39 pm

stidgmere

I didn't like many of the calls today. Hockerly has been in the middle of some game changers in years past, also.

6:40 pm

rururocks

Well that (non) roughing the passer call changed the game.

6:41 pm

stidgmere

Exactly. That was why I decided to look up my old Baedecker book and think about the south of France.

6:42 pm

rururocks

That is what i should have done...

6:45 pm

stidgmere

Of course, ruru. We cannot control every evil in the world, but we can start with Major League Football which has its headquarters in Las Vegas or someother upstanding location.

7:06 pm
