12:51 am

jesdraggon

plural it, kate :)

12:52 am

TraderKate

oh.. the singular is from the 4th row n... hte plural is from the bottom row n!

12:52 am

hurshy

i second my own motion that kate needs sleep, lol

12:52 am

TraderKate

my typing is sooooo bad, i should stop - or at least shut up...

12:53 am

TraderKate

i see your motion and raise you a pillow hurshy! methinks you are correct!

12:53 am

hurshy

lol

12:53 am

jesdraggon

hahahha

12:53 am

TraderKate

i don't have anything for the bottom a...

12:53 am

jesdraggon

you just have to spin it right, kate.

12:53 am

jesdraggon

you type really really well for someone wearing mittens.

12:54 am

hurshy

lol

12:54 am

TraderKate

fat fingers jes... really :)

12:54 am

hurshy

(and yes these things did genuinely make me laugh out loud)

12:55 am

rururocks

missing too many a's and L's

12:55 am

TraderKate

or just too tired, on a laptop on a table too high... and used to much more raised keys... they're all my excuses and i'm sticking to them...
but i have been so tired lately - no AC; no sleep

12:56 am

hurshy

yeah i need... 10 more a's and 7 more l's

12:56 am

VolleymomDee

no a/c kills me... hate when it goes out

12:58 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! from LotR: the riders of...

12:58 am

jesdraggon

rohan

12:58 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!

12:58 am

jesdraggon

ooh, Satan's here too :D

12:58 am

TraderKate

lucifer?

12:59 am

hurshy

no literally just satan

12:59 am

jesdraggon

yeah, i was not being inventive/cluey... just boring old satan

12:59 am

TraderKate

and santa... both proper nouns and mythological...

1:00 am

hurshy

but santa is like, any saint really, you need the claus

1:00 am

hurshy

clauses always help clarify things (grammar joke)

1:00 am

TraderKate

:D

1:01 am

jesdraggon

what? grammar jokes at a word game? never!

1:02 am

hurshy

*giggle*

1:02 am

TraderKate

may i rant before going away?

1:02 am

jesdraggon

sure

1:02 am

hurshy

but you have to go to the pb to do it haha

1:02 am

jesdraggon

but don't feel obligated to leave afterwards

1:03 am

TraderKate

of course, you all know i have a bee in my bonnet over the prolific mis/over use of apostrophes... but there is a new peeve sneaking up on me...

1:03 am

hurshy

oh goody a new peeve!

1:04 am

jesdraggon

is it a pet peeve, or a feral one?

1:04 am

TraderKate

< grabs the bull horn, so shouting from the PB will not be necessary >

1:04 am

hurshy

that was not sarcastic and hahaha jes

1:04 am

TraderKate

it is, ladies and gentlemen, the apparent complete loss of all adverbs........

1:05 am

hurshy

loss of adverbs??? o no this sounds like something out of phantom tollbooth

1:05 am

TraderKate

at this point it is feral, because it is making me crazy and seems out of control...

1:05 am

jesdraggon

*quickly sprinkles adverbs into conversation*

1:06 am

hurshy

*frantically searches for adverbial phrases*

1:06 am

TraderKate

no one adds an "ly" on the end of the word any more....I'm seeing it in print, on signs, and on tv all the time....

1:06 am

hurshy

give us an example

1:07 am

hurshy

ho8!!!!!! lovely word

1:07 am

TraderKate

.... and the WORST (imho), is the following:
person #1: Hi, how are you?
person #2: I'm GOOD.

1:08 am

jesdraggon

But I AM good.. I am not evil.

1:08 am

jesdraggon

I am also doing well...

1:08 am

hurshy

oh no, that's not "they should have used well" that's a new development in language

1:08 am

TraderKate

NO ONE ASKED THEM IF THEY WERE BEHAVING....or how they rate in bed.... the answer is well, poorly, happy... but not good!!!!!!!!!!!

1:09 am

rururocks

*pushes over second soap box*

1:09 am

hurshy

it is a similar usage when people say "are we good?" as in, is everything squared away?

1:09 am

TraderKate

yes... though, must admit, that doesn't bother me as much...\

1:09 am

hurshy

i don't have a peeve about that one, i see it as an interesting new nuance developing in english, a beautiful new evolution of our language

1:10 am

jesdraggon

*makes a mental not to start using "goodly" around Kate*

1:10 am

hurshy

so "i'm good" means, all is right between me and the world

1:10 am

hurshy

because well-being is composed of so much more than health!

1:10 am

TraderKate

i'm all for innovation and expansion of the language.. we're only #1 in number of words in language.. we don't have enough yet...

1:10 am

jesdraggon

Think of it as short for "i'm good with this situation"

1:11 am

rururocks

stopping with 50 to go.. good night all

1:11 am

TraderKate

niters ruru
(think I've chased him off)

1:11 am

jesdraggon

now i feel slow... i still have 121 left

1:11 am

hurshy

i still want an example of the simple dropping of -ly

1:12 am

jesdraggon

drive safe

1:12 am

TraderKate

i will start posting them as I see them hurshy, I swear it happens all the time now...hopefully one comes to me soon...

1:13 am

hurshy

put 'em in yer profile instead of chat so they are easier to find

1:13 am

jesdraggon

that one bothers me frequently

1:13 am

TraderKate

okay.. but now I will have to overhaul my profile (which I have been avoiding - big job)

1:14 am

jesdraggon

"move quick"

1:14 am

TraderKate

perfect example jes...
thought you were zinging my chasing ruru off...

1:14 am

hurshy

ahhhh

1:15 am

jesdraggon

no, people say "drive safe" all the freaking time.

1:15 am

jesdraggon

you're not hauling metal boxes around, you should be driving safely

1:16 am

TraderKate

pre-cise-ly!!!!!!!!!!

1:16 am

hurshy

so it's not so much that people aren't using adverbs as that they are turning adjectives into adverbs because they are in too much of a hurry for one extra syllable

1:17 am

TraderKate

yes, that is it hurshy...laziness and (I think) ignorance. they don't get grammar and spelling like "we" did...

1:18 am

jesdraggon

i'm sure i could think of more examples if i weren't falling asleep on my keyboard.

1:18 am

hurshy

what you mean "we", paleface?

1:19 am

jesdraggon

i'm going to go sleep (soundly, i hope), you keep speaking grammatically, lovelies :)

1:19 am

TraderKate

lol.. i mean the old farts that grew up on a totally different school system...

1:19 am

TraderKate

niters jes! sleep well.

1:19 am

hurshy

i know it just put me in mind of a joke about the lone ranger and tonto encountering a group of other native americans...

1:19 am

TraderKate

i'd be in bed already too, but remains of the day is on...

1:20 am

hurshy

wilt thou clue the ze7, somebody?

1:21 am

jesdraggon

well, it's a z word, with 7 letters...

1:21 am

TraderKate

i never got it... think it was ruru, but no clue followed.

1:21 am

jesdraggon

*ducks before hurshy throws something*

1:21 am

TraderKate

maybe dee hot it?

1:21 am

hurshy

oh ra4, ruru left

1:22 am

hurshy

did you like how i asked for a clue in such a way as to shore up my old fart credentials?

1:25 am

hurshy

or have we got mass falling-asleep-at-keyboard now... ?

1:25 am

TraderKate

yes, my good woman! i didst note how thee implored with grace and dignity for the briefest of favours.

1:25 am

hurshy

:)

1:26 am

hurshy

my mitty kitty is being such a love tonight

1:26 am

hurshy

using my arm as a pillow

1:26 am

TraderKate

makes typing tough..

1:26 am

hurshy

not if you position your laptop juuuuust right

1:28 am

TraderKate

but how do you pet the mitty kitty if you are typing with one hand and its on the other arm?

1:29 am

hurshy

i don't have to pet her, i just have to enjoy being the pillow

1:30 am

TraderKate

ahhhhh :)

1:30 am

hurshy

oooh oooh i just remembered the onomatopoeic ra7 is a word!!!!!!

1:31 am

Lizlin

Hi all and thanks, Hurshy for that ra 7. Wouldn't have remembered it without your prompt.

1:32 am

hurshy

yw liz, if you get the ze7, return the favor with a clue :) :) :)

1:32 am

jessmom

1:32 am

Lizlin

No, that's my missing z word.

1:32 am

hurshy

1:32 am

Lizlin

Thanks, Jess.

1:32 am

hurshy

whoops pb for me

1:33 am

jessmom

yw liz

1:34 am

TraderKate

the ra 7 sounds like........?

1:34 am

hurshy

the beat of a snare drum

1:34 am

Lizlin

Like banging a drum

1:35 am

Lizlin

- softly

1:35 am

Lizlin

But Hurshy

1:35 am

Lizlin

Hurshy's clue was better

1:35 am

TraderKate

tytyty tytyty tytyty ty ty ty

TraderKate

1:41 am

hurshy

my mom said her favorite was george harrison. i forget if she said that was BECAUSE he was the least popular, or if that was just how it was...

1:42 am

TraderKate

well, he was the youngest...but least popular???

1:43 am

hurshy

yeah like, even now, if you're going to forget a beatle, it would be him

1:43 am

hurshy

for a sec i thought we had atlatl but it was just an illusion

1:44 am

TraderKate

not me... the only fan page i have is for george... really.

1:45 am

hurshy

3:14 am

very good. Is your body settling down again?

3:15 am

grannyrose

a little. and how are you today?

3:16 am

sprite

I am ok. Slept ok, now in the process of taking my morning meds (9 pills, lol)

3:17 am

grannyrose

i have been thinking about wednesday, at the funeral. it really highlighted how LITTLE i can do at a stretch. it wasn't even the three hours which they say i can do.

3:17 am

grannyrose

*giggle* poor sprite. shake her and she'll rattle.

3:18 am

sprite

*long hug* I know, dear friend. It sucks. And you now have to focus on what you cannot do, which is bound to bring you down. Please keep that in mind, ok? Once the lawsuit and all is over, you can go back to focusing on what you can do, and it will be better.

3:19 am

sprite

yeah lol, in the morning it is madness. used to take it all in one swallow. Now, one by one with time in between.

3:19 am

grannyrose

yeah i know. lawyer says it is going to be about 4 months and it will be all over.

3:20 am

sprite

Good thanks. The movie was much better than I thought and the food was lovely.

3:29 am

sprite

glad you had a good time! Which movie did you see?

3:30 am

Lizlin

It was a documentary - the Deli Man - about the history of New York Delis. Quite interesting and oh! The food. I miss deli food.

3:31 am

sprite

sounds interesting. And yummy, lol. Are there no delis in oz?

3:31 am

Lizlin

Not here.

3:31 am

sprite

:(

3:32 am

Lizlin

At least not that sells the sort of stuff I want.

3:32 am

lynxxx

she lives in the wrong State for that. Hello all

3:33 am

sprite

hi lyn :) xxx
How are you doing?

3:33 am

Lizlin

I guess I'd find food shopping much easier in Melbourne or Sydney and not just deli food!

3:33 am

lynxxx

pretty good...more importantly - how are you?

3:33 am

Lizlin

Hi Lyn

3:34 am

sprite

I am fine. Healing up properly and taking it easy while doing so, thanks! Glad to hear you are ok.

3:34 am

sprite

you should send Lyn your shopping list... and have it delivered by courier, lol

3:35 am

Lizlin

Lol

3:35 am

sprite

most expensive deli ever!

3:35 am

lynxxx

'scuse me - just putting some bread in b4 I start dinner

3:36 am

Lizlin

Cheaper than a shopping flight down there!

3:36 am

sprite

you had me looking for a b4 word, lolol

3:36 am

don is playing a series of film clips where people, predominantly young males hurt themselves doing " tricks "

3:38 am

Lizlin

Ill check that when I'm on the computer rather than my iPad.

3:38 am

sprite

oh I hate those, rose. I have this family here that laughs their heads off, and I just go "ouch.... omg... that is NOT funny..."

3:40 am

grannyrose

some of them are funny, but most of the time i'm thinking and wondering how many of them ended up in hospital.

3:41 am

lynxxx

Hi Rose

3:41 am

Lizlin

I'm with sprite on that

3:41 am

sprite

exactly. Not my kind of thing to watch.

3:43 am

grannyrose

before that he showed me a whole lot of clips of cats and kittens.

3:43 am

sprite

better. Much better.

3:44 am

Lizlin

Dogs and puppies better still

3:44 am

sprite

animal clips, as long as they do the things they would do naturally, are always good.

3:45 am

Lizlin

Not really my thing either. I'd rather have them in real life.

3:45 am

grannyrose

omg, now he's showing a clip of a four-wheel drive on a mountain track. it's only as wide as the car and with a sheer drop off to the left.

3:45 am

sprite

amen to that

3:45 am

Lizlin

Gulp!

3:46 am

sprite

ugh

3:46 am

7:38 am

car.eeyore

Molly, I can't look at profiles this morning...who is that?

7:38 am

car.eeyore

And what do you see for mine?

7:42 am

Uneaixoise

grayish image but Patriot when I click on it

7:43 am

Uneaixoise

ah, rebooted and now it's just the patriot :-)

7:43 am

MollyL

My profile is a moon. It was Harvey Fierstein before that.

7:43 am

car.eeyore

Ok. I changed it to the Patriot over three days ago, but I still see the puppy foot print in the sand.

7:43 am

Uneaixoise

moon shows up after rebooting :-)

7:43 am

car.eeyore

Molly, it is still Harvey to me.

7:44 am

MollyL

Une, didn't you hear? They changed the team name. They are now The Inflatriots.

7:44 am

Uneaixoise

7:44 am

Uneaixoise

hee hee :-)

7:44 am

Just refreshed and all is well. I see what I should.

7:44 am

car.eeyore

Stop it.....

7:44 am

Uneaixoise

yay for car!

7:45 am

car.eeyore

My 'puter is just old and takes more time I guess

7:45 am

MollyL

It's so strange how refreshing doesn't work for some people. It works for me every time. I wonder if it depends on what browser you use.

7:45 am

Uneaixoise

i was wondering the same thing, molly

7:46 am

MollyL

Oh boy, killed the joke. The Deflatriots.

7:46 am

car.eeyore

Stop....

7:46 am

car.eeyore

Its time for that whole thing to go away

7:48 am

MollyL

That's not going to happen anytime soon, Car. But I won't bring it up again here, if it bothers you.

Ah, fresh air is good for you.

8:45 am

Ooo, five kinds of roses. Your garden must be beautiful.

8:46 am

It's neglected this year, but still very pretty if you can overlook the dead grass

8:46 am

MLFAN17

ruby any fire and ice roses?

8:47 am

rubyfoo

and there are geraniums, buddleia, loosestrife, sprea and (almost) sedum

8:47 am

rubyfoo

No, I don't think so. They are all single color, but in May and June there are 9 different ones

8:48 am

MLFAN17

burgundy and yellow or gold in color

8:48 am

Uneaixoise

your garden sounds so lovely, ruby :-)

8:48 am

rubyfoo

sounds beautiful, MLF

8:49 am

It is a very nice garden and the limited color scheme makes it really special. Looks like an English garden via Martha Stewart

8:49 am

how are you doing ruby? My thoughts are always with you

8:50 am

bichon

al 5/10, first one pls

8:50 am

rubyfoo

I'm feeling OK, much better than in the winter, painwise, but Burt is getting totally out of control. His doctor is coming this week to help me make "arrangements"

8:51 am

bichon

good to hear that. My Mom was in assisted living and she did well there

8:52 am

rubyfoo

I don't think they have that here and he is too far gone and not able to communicate adequately for that

8:52 am

hurshy

put him to sleep?

8:52 am

rubyfoo

hahah

8:52 am

bichon

She was in her own apartment. but later went to the Memory Unit. It's locked. She had her own room and hospice care

8:53 am

8:55 am

MLFAN17

8:55 am

bichon ah of course

8:55 am

rubyfoo

I will look for something like that, but no matter what, it will be terrible for him

8:55 am

MLFAN17

ruby what is he doing now?

8:56 am

bichon

I was very lucky. Because of the hospice, paid for by Medicare, it cost very little

8:56 am

bichon

My mother loved the place, except for the food

8:56 am

MollyL

Ruby, it might be better for him than you think. Not being in a home that he can't remember properly is probably very frustrating for him. That is why you are his focus.

8:56 am

MLFAN17

that is awesome bichon

8:56 am

rubyfoo

He goes up and down the stairs, mills around, buckles and unbuckles his pants, calls me on the telephone, generally drives me crazy.

8:57 am

MLFAN17

ruby uggh

8:57 am

rubyfoo

He's only become aggressive a couple of times, but now that I'm prepared (and the police know), HE HAS BEEN BETTER

8:57 am

MLFAN17

ruby is he aware of what he is doing?

8:57 am

rubyfoo

It is very sad but also makes me angry, which can't be good for my cancer

8:58 am

bichon

It will be better after he is a nursing home

8:58 am

rubyfoo

I can't really tell as he seems much better when his Burt sitter or the housekeeper is around

8:58 am

rubyfoo

I try to cajole him when he starts acting crazy, but it doesn't work

8:59 am

rubyfoo

better for me, but I think he'll die faster

8:59 am

MollyL

Ruby try to remember that you are doing what is best for him, and for you. Leave the guilt out of it. That will not be good for you.

8:59 am

bichon

It's always like that ruby

8:59 am

MLFAN17

just let him follow you around just don't get stuck somewhere

9:00 am

Deterioration of the memory process is an awful thing to watch in a loved one. I'm sorry you're going through this Ruby.

9:03 am

bichon

9:04 am

9:38 am

penquis

9:39 am

Anniebrook

9:42 am

MollyL

Plague is a good word to describe recurring urinary tract infections. I've heard they are very painful.

9:42 am

Anniebrook

Quite painful. Of course, this happened on a holiday weekend. I will call the doctor later.

9:43 am

MollyL

No urgent care places near you that are open on weekends?

9:44 am

Anniebrook

I already have an antibiotic and went to the lab.

9:44 am

MollyL

Ah good, at least you have some help until you can see your doctor.

9:45 am

gran

Yes. I will leave a message. Usually someone calls back from NYU hospital.

10:34 am

rururocks

10:35 am

Anniebrook

10:38 am

MollyL

Morning Glory and cranberry/orange are my two favorite muffins. I like blueberry too. All have to be homemade.

10:39 am

rururocks

I make them.. but instead bought them at a bakery yesterday being lazy

10:40 am

MollyL

Lazy is okay, as long as it's a good bakery. And considering your fine taste in food, I imagine you go to a good bakery.

10:40 am

rururocks

they're a B+..

10:40 am

rururocks

there are a few A's in SF

10:41 am

A good bakery nearby is a great thing to have.

10:46 am

Ouwachita

10:46 am

MollyL

Oh no, I've been clueless for years.

10:47 am

Ouwachita

me too

10:47 am

MollyL

Haven't had a clue since my twenties, I think.

10:48 am

Ouwachita

<<not even sure I ever was in my 20's

10:49 am

MollyL

It's a blurry decade for some people
: D

10:49 am

Ouwachita

I skipped them

10:49 am

Ouwachita

My only desire in my 20's was trying to keep up with Wilt Chamberlain

10:53 am

rururocks

wow.

11:01 am

rururocks

even Madonna couldn't keep up with him and she's been in the game longer

11:05 am

MollyL

And Madonna has a lot of miles on her, so for her to not be able to keep up, says something

11:07 am

rururocks

she totally creeps me out

11:08 am

rururocks

and that's really saying something

11:12 am

cybernan

good morning, everyone

11:12 am

rururocks

11:29 am

rururocks

11:29 am

MollyL

*Wonders if people will start looking for other ar 6/21 words

11:29 am

rururocks

little s was hiding down on the bottom

11:30 am

rururocks

I gave up and listed finally.. too frustrating this one

11:30 am

MollyL

It's easy to miss a plural when it doesn't go the same way the singular does

11:31 am

MLFAN17

sometimes when we get that ar 5 it doesn't plural so could have been easy to miss

11:32 am

rururocks

missed the Hawaiian greeting too

11:33 am

MollyL

People are missing the plural of the indian bread for the same reason

11:33 am

MLFAN17

we have a bakery here when we first tried it we didn't like it. its changed hands since but we have yet to go try it again

11:34 am

MLFAN17

o&h Danish bakery has wonderful kringles:)

I like indian bread..but I'm off bread now

11:35 am

MLFAN17

11:36 am

MollyL

*Passes Ru the celery sticks and water

11:36 am

rururocks

yes

11:36 am

rururocks

no starches.. except a muffin in the morning.. nothing after that

11:36 am

rururocks

11:37 am

rururocks

and no sugar either other than the muffin in the morning too

11:37 am

MLFAN17

did you know your body can be lacking in both sugars and salts?

11:37 am

MollyL

Atkins Ru

11:38 am

rururocks

well.. salt intake is moderate.. and I'm sweet enough already to not have to deal with sugar

11:38 am

cybernan

anything green that grows above ground is legal!

11:38 am

MLFAN17

11:39 am

MollyL

Weed is legal now Ru, go for it

11:40 am

MLFAN17

yesterday my husband and I were looking at some veggie plants outside the grocery store they had broccoli and califlaur sp on that. but no brocifluor

11:41 am

MollyL

You have to drink a lot of water on a low carbohydrate diet to keep your ketones in check

11:41 am

MLFAN17

broccoflower

11:41 am

MLFAN17

true molly

11:42 am

MollyL

It's a great way to lose weight, but very few people can stick to it for life. Most people who do the low carbohydrate thing lose a lot of weight and then gain it all back.

6:09 pm

Jackanory

I got hooked when I started last year and then life got in the way and I pop in and out when I can. Been back for a few days now. Good to see the familiar names still around.

6:28 pm

car.eeyore

I just want the whole thing to go away. So stoopid on so many levels.

6:30 pm

rururocks

it really is.. especially considering what a tremendous coach Bellichek is and how great a player Brady is.. it's kind of pointless. But they did get caught more than once red-handed

6:30 pm

car.eeyore

It was blown so out of proportion...and Goodell has a God complex

6:30 pm

car.eeyore

But I am just so tired of "deflate gate". What a stupid ass name.

6:32 pm

car.eeyore

I am really a LOT more concerned about random shootings and ISIS than the pressure of footballs.

6:33 pm

rururocks

I guess.. but the news people have to beat it until it is dead and unrecognizable

6:33 pm

car.eeyore

It has been punishing.

6:34 pm

car.eeyore

I love football just as much as the next girl, but seriously? "Free Tom Brady"?!?!? Puhleez

Hi Everyone. So Gwen, is that a good deal (doesn't sound like a great deal to me!

11:03 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

no! i maybe would have paid $20

11:04 pm

TraderKate

how old were they?

11:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

from the 1950s-1970s

11:04 pm

TraderKate

can't see a big market for that kind of thing...

11:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

nope, there is a market, but not that big

11:04 pm

TraderKate

were any deloreans?

11:05 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

anyway, i bought two cartons of smelly books last week so my deodorizer box will be busy

11:05 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

no unusual cars. mostly plymouth, buick, etc. not even any sports cars or muscle cars

Hello NEf

11:06 pm

Minveryork

Hello Nef! How are you doing today? Welcome to the chog

11:06 pm

torgone

Some guy wanting to retire on his reluctance to throw things away ..

11:07 pm

Nef

Hi Min! I'm being grumpy, so was slowly doing the grid & not chatting today (until now)

11:07 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

funny thing is, he had prices in his head for each item, then put the numbers in a calculator, and never told me the number he got on the calculator. I mean, was $100 a "good deal" or did they add up to $105 or something?

11:08 pm

Nef

dang; that's not how we garage sale here. The price should be on the item.

11:09 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

it's a free for all out there. not everyone prices everything. in fact, some people leave their signs up all night. ARGH

11:09 pm

torgone

His prices are hope-based and not reality-based ..

11:09 pm

Minveryork

Think this grid made a lot of people grumpy today.Sorry to hear you are grumpy, but glad to see you made into chog.

11:10 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well, i often meet people who think they have prizes when they really have duds.

11:10 pm

Nef

I hate when people don't remove their signs after the sale is over.

11:11 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

then there are the nitwits who put their sign parallel. i don't even bother to go to those sales; usually there aren't any books anyway

11:11 pm

torgone

I'm just naturally grumpy, not grid-based grumpy ...

11:12 pm

Nef

LOL! If they don't know how to put out their signs, they probably aren't readers, huh?

11:12 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

exactly. when there are 50 sales in the area, one has to be choosy

11:13 pm

Minveryork

Saying goodbye to all the grumpy & non-grumpy babblers!

11:14 pm

Nef

Well, my grumpiness is related to a sore knee. I had an injection in it the other day; I'm trying to put off having a knee replacement if I can (& it still hurts so I think I'm not going to win this battle)

11:14 pm

harpjane

TraderKate
