1:18 am
rururocks
it's just so easy hanging out with other babble people
1:18 am
grannyrose
how lovely.
1:25 am
rururocks
it was.. a very nice weekend
1:27 am
rururocks
just found my missing p's
1:28 am
grannyrose
you deserve to have such a nice weekend, ruru. you work so hard.
1:29 am
rururocks
I don't really consider it work most days. I love my job as a rule
1:30 am
grannyrose
like me when i was working. it didn't matter what the outside world chucked at me, when i got to work i always enjoyed it. even with the overtime and on-call work.
1:32 am
rururocks
I think if one is lucky to love their profession.. it never feels like work.
1:32 am
rururocks
I'm very lucky that way.
1:33 am
grannyrose
with me it was never knowing what the next challenge was going to be. i loved how my job constantly made me think. there was never anything 'normal' about it.
1:34 am
rururocks
sure.. I get that.. you never knew what life and death thing was going to be thrown at you. I don't think that quickly on my feet.. so I'd have sucked as a ER person
1:39 am
grannyrose
it was one of the first things i learned in theatre. there is no such thing as a routine patient. everyone of them wakes up differently, reacts to the drugs differently. it was a constant weighing up the facts, sifting through the facts in your brain, and then coming to the correct way to treat this particular person. like i said... i loved my job.
1:40 am
grannyrose
brb, just realised DH has gone back outside without a pullover on.
1:41 am
rururocks
yeah.. and for me everyone reacts to wine differently.. constantly choosing the right wines once I have the facts in my brain and the right wine for the gullet of the person :D
1:41 am
rururocks
I'm heading off for bed. Night GR.
1:46 am
grannyrose
sleep well ruru. xox
3:40 am

good morning all

3:46 am
sprite
lol hello dear friend *hugs*
3:47 am
grannyrose
how was your night?? any after effects from all the running around??
3:48 am
sprite
nope, hardly, still the way I wrote to you about it. But had a horrible night... dreams. Truly ugly nightmares. All old stuff... guess it is all stored in the fat cells, rose. Am down 5.5 kg already.
3:48 am
grannyrose
wow, well done you sprite.
3:49 am
sprite
am still shaking, have been since waking up from the dreams. Talked with Cobi for a bit, thank God. Now drinking tea :) Doors and windows wide open.
3:53 am
grannyrose
gentle hugs for my darling girl. and lots of kisses.. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
3:54 am
sprite
thanks darling. I'll be fine in another hour or so. It takes time to settle, but in the end it was 'just' a dream. Cobi said, expect more of this. It goes with losing weight quickly.
3:55 am
sprite
so, that was enough about me. How was your day?
3:58 am
sprite
squirrel...
3:58 am
grannyrose

4:00 am
grannyrose

4:00 am
grannyrose

grannyrose

4:15 am
sprite
let me see...
4:16 am
sprite
I think around the beginning of 2014
4:17 am
grannyrose
oh, okay. not so long then.
4:18 am
sprite
no, not at all long. And it is not really being busy. Just adding a word when I see it, or when somebody else sees one and lets me know.
4:19 am
grannyrose
still it is quite a list.
4:19 am
sprite
yeah sure is. It is lovely to read it when you feel a bit down. Before you are halfway, you are bound to have smiled at least once.
4:23 am
grannyrose
oh gosh, it is the awards night for our tv personalities. it is actually a news item for goodness sake. poor don...his eyes have rolled up into his head..... lolll
4:29 am

4:33 am
grannyrose
* belly chuckling * naughty lady... how often do you find yourself living vicariously through another's actions...
4:33 am
sprite
not often. But Rob is away from home, and I am strictly monogame... so for now, I better
4:34 am
grannyrose
oh okay. do you want a stroke by stroke account?
4:35 am
sprite
absolutely. Stroke gently. And even more gently, flick your thumb over the top...
4:36 am
grannyrose

okaaaay. sitting here quietly, avoiding eye contact with DH. he just had a hissy fit because he can't send some photos from his computer to mine.
4:44 am
sprite
lol... they don't handle frustration very well sometimes, do they
4:45 am
grannyrose
you got it in one, sprite.
4:46 am
grannyrose
i wish i hadn't asked. if i had known it was going to cause so much aggravation i wouldn't have asked.
4:47 am
sprite
are you silly? It is a legitimate request and if it doesn't turn out to be an easy job, so be it. He is there to protect and serve, honey. You. :D
4:47 am
sprite
or it was love, honour and obey. But same thing, really.
4:49 am
grannyrose
oh dear.... he is now having a tantrum. if all of a sudden i disappear, there will be a very good reason.
4:49 am
grannyrose
like i am hoofing it down the road as fast as i can.
4:49 am
sprite
time he grows up, sweetie. You know he won't hurt you. If you thought he might, you would have booted him out the door a long time ago.
4:50 am
grannyrose
yeah, sprite. you are right.
4:50 am
grannyrose
on both counts
4:50 am
sprite
*hugs rose* Still, tantrums trigger our old fears. Not easy to sit through.
4:52 am
sprite
another babble word: heptet - singing group of 7
4:56 am
grannyrose
is that not a word?? i would have thought so.
4:56 am
sprite
me too. If octet and quartet and quintet are words, right? Stupid enable.
4:57 am
sprite
fireflies. Small and rather easy
4:59 am

I was off changing my wi-fi name and password. I have been lax of late in changing it up, and discovered one extra computer was tapping into my wi-fi signal. Do not ask me how, but it happens.
6:12 am
sukee
I thought that happened to me once but then I found out if was Tunnel Bear :)
6:12 am
sukee
I was lucky :)
6:13 am
crosshair
That may be it, sukee. i used tunnel Bear a couple of years ago. I have not used it since, however, it may still be installed
6:13 am
sukee
Thought I was coming down with a bad cold yesterday but after a lot of rest yesterday I feel much better.
6:14 am
sukee
Yes, but the extra only shows up when I turn Tunnel Bear on.
6:14 am

That is well. It is too nice a day out there to have a cold
6:14 am

a lot of babblets, so I guess i you have a good memory....

10:59 am
MollyL
he7...an old time word for "cool" + brown skin color + vowel
11:00 am
MollyL
I would have clued it with the definition...but...like anyone knows that...any of nine isomeric hydrocarbons, C 7 H 16, of the alkane series, some of which are obtained from petroleum: used in fuels as solvents, and as chemical intermediates

lots of food in this grid.
11:04 am
doseffing
... but nan ... if you drive a car you're always buying the oc8 to which the he7 is related except it has 7 carbons atoms instead of 8 ... now do you see why you should have taken chemistry in high school?
11:04 am
MollyL
An intellectual checks in
11:04 am
cybernan
should I care about this, dos?
11:05 am

... sorry ... just finished my hour of the online philosophy course
11:05 am

Math and the sciences were definitely not my forte in school --- was much better with history, english lit, music and languages
11:05 am
harpjane
I eat ga6
11:05 am
doseffing
... if you want you're car to go you should ... besides if they sneak some he7 into your gas your car won't run so well though you gas bill will be less
11:06 am
harpjane
and po6 and then i use my te6
11:07 am
harpjane
and i watch kittens on the te4
11:07 am
cybernan
dos - the only thing I know about cars is that when you turn the key they should run. If they don't you call a mechanic
11:07 am
MollyL
I'm with Nan. I don't really need to know what's in the fuel that runs my car. As long as it runs.
11:10 am
cybernan
was looking for the ge 6 I could eat -- silly me -- I was thinking of english cuisine!
11:10 am
doseffing
... you put gas in too ...and every time you select the grade of gas the button, at least at PetroCan, tells you the oc7 rating ... or do you drive an electric Tesla? ... sorry nan ... it's Sunday ... and the kid is home from school so it's now noisy and crowded and being curmudgeonly .... is that one in the grid anywhere? ...

don't understand why some french words are accepted but not others...ga 6 gets yes but no pe 4
11:31 am

... because some fool englishman made a fancy cake for his hotel restaurant and used the word ga6 to describe it and it got into the OED while no one worries about their skin enough to use the word in front of a lexicographer ...

The only words "allowed" (according to the rules in the HELP section) are "words that are allowed are those that can be found in the Enable dictionary." The Enable dictionary is very weird and exclusive.

rururocks
liked the deweed... joke
11:58 am
rururocks
someone should deweed my neighbors
12:01 pm
MollyL
weed = marijuana...for those who don't get the weed/pot references
12:03 pm
MollyL
Which is kind of hilarious since a player here was nicknamed Weed for that very thing
: D
12:08 pm
rururocks
weed is better than the recent names in the troll attack :D
12:09 pm
MollyL
No kidding, Do they really think we take them seriously?
12:12 pm
rururocks
I just have to wonder how twisted these young guys are to use such rude words
12:12 pm
rururocks
Not that I'm not twisted in certain ways however :D
12:13 pm
Deeha
I think most of us are of an age where we have heard it all before and just find it pretty childish and boring
12:16 pm
Deeha
when I got stuck I used to ';cheat' and use a wordfinder called A2Z but I got a message from my internet provider recommending I didn't use it. Does anyone have an alternative??
12:16 pm
rururocks
sure.. but doesn't it make a strong comment on the parenting of children in some cases these days. I think our trouble makers keep reappearing when they get bored
12:16 pm
rururocks
use Morewords.com deeha
12:16 pm
Deeha
oops sorry
12:16 pm
rururocks
there have been problems with a2z
12:22 pm
MollyL
I think the fake JC and company still find it amusing to infiltrate this place. It would be nice if they all finally got lives.
12:23 pm
rururocks
that would be nice wouldn't it.
12:26 pm
MollyL
It would, but this place is so gullible .There are still people here that believe Nancy Boy was a real person.
12:27 pm
rururocks
that's pretty alarming in itself
12:27 pm
rururocks
at least Dr. God made a few bucks off those jerks
12:30 pm
MollyL
Ah well, money made. And those who will believe in anything will still be here for the next round of fakers.
12:31 pm
rururocks
yes... I guess
12:32 pm
rururocks
maybe the next one will be Fancy Boy
12:32 pm
bichon
Did someone make money over the Nancy Boy scam. I'm forgetting
12:33 pm
rururocks
a gay garment fashion worker in Singapore who's parents don't approve of his lifestyle or boyfriend and...
12:33 pm
MollyL
Could be Ru. And there are still a few fakers here who have yet to be exposed. Time will tell.
12:33 pm
rururocks
no.. no money bichon.. that was another jerk here on the game
12:34 pm
jubi
I haven't played in a long time and the chat log scares me
12:34 pm
rururocks
*free clues*
12:34 pm
rururocks
scares you? jubi? why
12:34 pm
MollyL
There are a lot of things I still don't understand about the "Mr. P Scam"
12:35 pm
bichon
Now what was that all about. Wasn't she Lickety's wife?
12:35 pm
jubi
usually things are nice and friendly here, sounds like some of the trolls have been tooo active
12:35 pm
rururocks
she is lickety's ex now
12:35 pm
rururocks
oh.. yeah.. those particular trolls show up around spring break annually
12:36 pm
bichon
but was money actually scammed
12:36 pm
rururocks
*more free clues*
12:36 pm
rururocks
yes money was actually scammed bichon
12:37 pm
bichon
I didn't know that.
12:38 pm
rururocks
yes.. and the player who took it all has the balls to still play here.
12:39 pm
bichon
not mentioning names of course
12:39 pm
rururocks
no..it's okay.
12:39 pm
rururocks
the player is wildcat
12:40 pm
bichon
I don't want to know the name, but I'm sure he/she isn't chatting
12:40 pm
rururocks
she never chats anymore..she wouldn't want to see the expletives thrown her direction
12:41 pm
MollyL
I found it odd that Mr P disappeared from Babble after that whole thing happened.
12:41 pm
rururocks
yeah.. that's weird too.. maybe embarrassed about all the fuss or something else weird happened?
12:41 pm
bichon
Did people send money her way because she claimed she was destitute?
12:42 pm
jubi
what happened, may i ask?
12:42 pm
rururocks
She supposedly hasn't been in good health
12:42 pm
rururocks
yes bich
12:42 pm
MollyL
Supposedly is the operative word.
12:42 pm
pink17
so people willingly gave this person money? or did the person use some other scam?
12:43 pm
pink17
kindness get spunished
12:43 pm
rururocks
all the monies funneled through Wildcat.. and all we know is only a little money made it to mr. P
12:44 pm
rururocks
the big bucks supported wildcat's lifestyle for a month or so
12:44 pm
pink17
was that about 4 years ago/
12:44 pm
rururocks
yeah..it's old news now
12:44 pm
bichon
Why would people here send so much money? That's being uber gullible
12:44 pm
pink17
ok I do recall this ty
12:45 pm
rururocks
Nancy boy is in the Babble hoax hall of fame though
12:45 pm
rururocks
We also have a Stalker hall of fame player too
12:45 pm
rururocks
lots of interesting folks
12:46 pm
MollyL
Sorry if I sound jaded, but I have seen this repeatedly on other forums. Someone who posts about how tragic their life is, how bad their health is, and then does a "woe is me, I have no money". Everyone who believes it, runs to the rescue. It usually has bad results.
12:47 pm
rururocks
yeah.. I'm at the shame on me stage
12:48 pm
pink17
no ru peoples deceptions do not belittle your generosity
12:49 pm
MollyL
Don't do that Ru. You have a good heart and you did something nice for someone. It's on them if they were scamming you for money.
12:50 pm
rururocks
*sniffle*
12:50 pm
rururocks
thanks though.. I do feel creepy about the whole thing.
12:50 pm
pink17
heres atissue for 2 dollars
12:51 pm
MollyL
One thing I found weird about that whole thing is that the person who sounded pathetic and in need of money, made a big deal about how much you contributed, and yet claimed to have never gotten it.
12:52 pm
rururocks
we'll never know molly
12:52 pm
rururocks
I will never get suckered into something like that again either
12:52 pm
MollyL
Nope. And lessons learned and all that.
12:52 pm
rururocks
abso-f-ing-lutely
12:53 pm
MollyL
I don't care how much people dribble on about how wonderful everyone in this forum is, you never know. These are just people in cyber space.
12:55 pm
rururocks
so many of the contributors to the JC scam don't come here any longer either..
12:55 pm
rururocks
Fauxmage, etc
12:55 pm
rururocks
Frank...
12:55 pm
rururocks
Andrew in Drag
12:56 pm
rururocks
and the Dutch one.. can't remember the name
12:57 pm
rururocks
we should petition to change the name of this game to Gullible the superword game
1:01 pm
rururocks
I'll shut up now
1:01 pm
MollyL
It was all so sad. Mostly that people bought it.
1:02 pm
MollyL
And are still buying it, about posters who are not really who they say they are.
1:04 pm
rururocks
the thing is for me .. I only play one or two games on the computer (babble being one) so I don't really have experience with fakers in the chat world.. now I do
1:05 pm
rururocks
really didn't I mean
1:08 pm
MollyL
My experience comes from being an Administrator on discussion forums when the internet first came alive. I saw many scams like the ones that have happened here. And many fake posters who knew how to garner the attention of other people in the group.
1:13 pm
zoozzoom
AP 7/40 please?
1:14 pm
zoozzoom
Or has it already been clued?
1:16 pm
MollyL
It's been clued out the ying yang. ap + last two of not pig, but other swine + last three of what a lima is
1:17 pm
zoozzoom
Got it...Excellent clue, molly! Thank you.
1:18 pm
rururocks
aprushean
1:18 pm
rururocks
damn it
1:18 pm
MollyL
You're welcome. Astronomy word that most of us would not know
1:19 pm
rururocks
yeah..where is UU when you really need her :D
1:20 pm
zoozzoom
No I have not seen that word before. I bet, Sue, got that word, Ru..lol
1:20 pm
rururocks
I bet she did too
1:20 pm
MollyL
Well if she said "the point in the orbit of a heavenly body, especially the moon, or of a man-made satellite at which it is farthest from the earth"...I doubt anyone would have gotten it
1:21 pm
rururocks
I was stumped on the other swine :D
1:21 pm
rururocks
looking for other swine can be boaring
1:22 pm
zoozzoom
so you made a pigs ear of the clue then, Ru?
1:23 pm
rururocks
sure.. I put a pork in it to see if it's done
1:23 pm
rururocks
I'm just kidding .. actually my jokes are sort of short ribs
1:24 pm
zoozzoom
you always have to put your snout in..heh..lol
1:25 pm
rururocks
so Zooz Sow's you doing?
1:25 pm
zoozzoom
I am trotting along nicley thanks!
1:25 pm
rururocks
the Stye's the limit on pig jokes today
1:26 pm
zoozzoom
hahaha I like that one :-)
1:27 pm
rururocks
how big is the Isle of Wight?
1:28 pm
zoozzoom
not sure...something like 11 miles long and 21 miles wide.
1:29 pm
rururocks
so you ferry to the other islands?
1:29 pm
zoozzoom
To the mainland yes.
1:30 pm
zoozzoom
It is the most expensive ferry journey in the world.
1:30 pm
rururocks
really? wow
1:30 pm
rururocks
how much?
1:31 pm
rururocks
I guess you can't just walk this Sway
1:31 pm
zoozzoom
you can get a ferry to france for about £15 But to get from the Isle of Wight to the mainland will cost you with a car about £60 for a return ticket that only lasts the weekend..will cost a lot more if you want to saty on the mainland longer. the stretch of water is only about a mile or so.
1:32 pm
rururocks
that is unbelievable
1:32 pm
zoozzoom
Ha i could probably wave to you on the other side though..lol
1:32 pm
rururocks
is there no competition for the biz?
1:33 pm
rururocks
geez.. I'd go to france and Chunnel into London
1:34 pm
zoozzoom
I know. i am lucky I have a friend you gives me free tickets as his job making torpedos is on the mainland so travels everyday. he gets a booklet of tickets free from his company he works for.
1:35 pm
rururocks
is he low ranking in the military .. by that I mean sub-marine?
1:35 pm
zoozzoom
Although the tickets are only for the hover craft travel. Those tickets normally costs about £20.
1:35 pm
zoozzoom
hahaha you are on form today, Ru!
1:35 pm
rururocks
went to bed early for once
1:36 pm
rururocks
hover craft sounds cool
1:36 pm
rururocks
had dinner with Doren last night and some of her family
1:36 pm
zoozzoom
That sounds wonderful, Ru, I take it a good time was had by all?
1:39 pm
rururocks
we had a great time. .Doren's son is a very funny guy.. very bright and witty.
1:39 pm
rururocks
the food was off the hook great too
1:40 pm
zoozzoom
I know you would chose a good wine to go with the meals.
1:40 pm
rururocks
I did.. they liked them. went well with the food
1:42 pm
zoozzoom
Nice to here, Doren's son was good to be around.It makes the event go so much smoother when you can get on well with people from the off!
1:42 pm
zoozzoom
And judging from watching you in the chat log over the years I have no doubt you too were great to be around !
1:42 pm
rururocks
I've met two of her kids.. both of them were very nice
1:44 pm
zoozzoom
Sounds like, Dorens, is a great mom!
1:44 pm
rururocks
haven't met her eldest yet.. yes, I think she is and was a great mom
1:47 pm
rururocks
I'm too old for her to adopt me though :D
1:47 pm
zoozzoom
hahaha I am sure she would jump at the chance, Ru : D
1:49 pm
rururocks
I want Molly to adopt me first :D
1:51 pm
zoozzoom
Aww I am sure, Molly, would love to not adopt you..LOL
1:51 pm
rururocks
that'd be a safe bet zooz ;D
1:52 pm
zoozzoom
what do you mean first anyway? Molly adopts you for a year then Doren. rotate every couple of years..lol
1:53 pm
rururocks
great plan zooz.. that would work
1:53 pm
rururocks
I guess I'd learn manners somewhere then :)
1:54 pm
zoozzoom
Time for my evening meal.Nice chatting to you, Ru.Hope the rest of the day and eveing is a good one!
1:55 pm
rururocks
Bye zooz.. have a great evening
1:55 pm
zoozzoom
Evening*
2:00 pm
rururocks
I should run too.
2:50 pm
MollyL
Great clue
2:50 pm
Soodle
Thanks for that, Miranda! I didn't have it. 😄
2:52 pm
Soodle
Hi Molly, Miranda & anybody else on board.
2:52 pm
mirandapan
Oh! so sorry. Don't know how I got over here...
2:53 pm
Soodle
Lol! It happens everybody. I love free clues😀
2:53 pm
MollyL
It's usually an Expert problem, People love that, but the program is not stable
2:55 pm
mirandapan
No excuse. What's funny is that I didn't know I was in the chat room until I saw my name in Soodle's post. and then it took me a minute to realize she was talking about ME.
2:57 pm
MollyL
Again, it's an Expert problem. Apparently things from there, transfer over here in the wrong place.
3:00 pm
MollyL
And no worries. Many people cull the chat for easy clues like that.
3:00 pm
mirandapan
...including me, Molly.
3:00 pm
Soodle
Lol!! Miranda, you are the only Miranda I have ever come across. If you see Miranda in any of my posts, you may be sure it's you!!
3:01 pm
mirandapan
Exactly, Soodle. My first reaction was "There's ANOTHER Miranda here???
3:02 pm
bichon
I haven't seen Mirandas as a popular name in the US
3:02 pm
Soodle
There used to be a soda similar to Fanta here called Miranda.....
3:03 pm
bichon
I think of it more as a British name
3:03 pm
Soodle
It was just known as 'Fizzy Orange'
3:03 pm
MollyL
Lots of British people here
3:04 pm
mirandapan
It's the name of my dear cat, a tortoise shell, who died two years ago at age 17. I named her after Miranda in "The Tempest."
3:05 pm
MollyL
A cat name. No surprise here in the land of cat lovers.
: D
3:09 pm
Soodle
Could any kind soul here clue the HE 7 for me.
3:09 pm
MollyL
he7...old fashioned term for "cool" + brown skin + vowel
3:10 pm
MollyL
(Not that I'm a kind soul, according to the elite here)
3:11 pm
Soodle
Your soul was kind enough to help me, Molls, and for that I thank you!
3:13 pm

3:20 pm

but I will try and help if anyone needs it ...
3:21 pm
Soodle
🌟🎶🚀🔆Well done Mo!
3:23 pm
Soodle
I frantically looked for 'fireworks' in my iPad's new emoticons, to no avail.... Sorry!
3:24 pm
Soodle
Nah, thanks. I'll muddle along for another while. Are you enjoying your bank holiday weekend?
3:26 pm
mo
yes thankyou ... and you? Good luck .. I hope you find all the words!
3:30 pm
mo
but when you are retired most weekends are the same ..... and we are very lucky after years of hard work.
3:31 pm
mo
it is lovely to relax!!
3:31 pm
Soodle
Ah, finding words is secondary for me. I love Babble for the chat. When the chat is slow or annoying, then I look for words. I guess I'll never be an Elite Of Babble!
3:33 pm
HarryHood
feels like first day of summer here.
3:34 pm

3:34 pm

nor me Soodle. I used to get annoyed if I didnt finish but now I just get as many as I can.
3:37 pm
mo
hi Harry. lovely and warm here too, but we have had so much warm weather for months we are getting complacent ... probably have a rubbish summer!!
3:43 pm
mo
well I must be off now ... good luck and happy bank holiday to all!
3:47 pm
Soodle
Bye Mo & Hi Harry :-)

"Her name's Miranda. She's a Rudolph Valentino fan. She makes browinies for the boys in the band." Phil Oches song
5:15 pm
rururocks
the only Miranda I know is when the police read them to me..
5:16 pm
mirandapan
Always happy to make brownies for the boys in the band.
5:16 pm
rururocks
what kind of brownies :D
5:16 pm
mirandapan
Well---I live in Colorado...
5:16 pm
rururocks
too much and we'll have to de5 ourselves
5:17 pm
rururocks
well.. then it sounds like rocky mountain high to me
5:17 pm
jaxx7
Evening all
5:18 pm
rururocks
hello jaxxxxxxx7
5:18 pm
Bugsaw
those were the kind I am sure Phil had in mind for the song
5:18 pm
jaxx7
sticky fingers, ru?
5:19 pm
Bugsaw
He was in the band and appreciated them
5:19 pm
Bugsaw
Hey jaxx and gang
5:20 pm
Bugsaw
I was in the garden hauling weeds and volunteers for too long. I am very sore
5:20 pm
jaxx7
You need a hot bath and a glass of red wine
5:20 pm
Bugsaw
I hope you are all well
5:21 pm
Bugsaw
If I thought I could get out of it without using a crane, I would be in there soaking in epsom salts, jaxx.
5:21 pm
Bugsaw
Any date for your surgery yet?
5:22 pm
jaxx7
i am keeping my fingers crossed here for luck. My daughter has been promoted at work and she has been having a battle with the taxman. he has given in and she has a wad of back pay.
5:24 pm
jaxx7
No to the surgery but they have found knobbly nodules on my thyroid that will have to be removed. I have an appointment with the surgeon at the end of the month.
5:24 pm
Bugsaw
Well that is certainly great news on the $ front! That must life a world of weight from your shoulders. Your poor family seems to have to battle for everything.
5:25 pm
Bugsaw
Thyroid issues are failrly common apparently. I know lots of people who live just the way they want after surgery.
5:25 pm
jaxx7
I am just hoping that she doesn't get carried away and spend everything. It is quite a large amount and would make a nice nest egg
5:26 pm
Bugsaw
PErhaps some relieable housing in a new school district where the grandson could have a fresh start.
5:27 pm
Bugsaw
Not far from you, but a new school.
5:27 pm
jaxx7
That would be perfect.
5:28 pm
jaxx7
I am listening to a recording of Il Divo. I just love them.
5:29 pm
Bugsaw
I understand your worries though. My idiot son got a big settlement so he bought a 1968 VW bug that never ran and got a full sleeve arm tatoo that is not finished -- "becauuse it really hurts, Mum!"
5:30 pm
Bugsaw
I just finished. Anyone need a bad clue?
5:30 pm
jaxx7
