12:07 am

Lizlin

Hi all and thanks, Lickety

12:08 am

stidmama

It's the episode where they are underwater and there are ghosts -- a two-parter from last season. Part of the "Dr's Notes" set where tidbits of interesting things are captioned in.

12:08 am

stidmama

hey liz! hey all! :-D

12:09 am

hurshy

ah, not my favorites from the season but not bad :)

12:09 am

Hi stid - a good episode from what I remember. Not the best but good.

12:10 am

hurshy

aha, liz and i concur

12:10 am

hurshy

for the life of me i cannot see how to make something come from that corner O!

12:10 am

stidmama

That's how I felt -- I was not a fan of this one, but I do enjoy watching how the show was put together.

12:11 am

Lizlin

That's always interesting.

12:11 am

hurshy

i think the overall reaction to it was better than what we three are saying - perhaps men liked it more than women?

12:11 am

aebmusica

think trees for that o

12:12 am

hurshy

oaks...

12:12 am

aebmusica

12:25 am

stidmama

go grannie go! I am still hung up looking for the os 7

12:26 am

Lizlin

I tried to spell the os 7 with an extra e in it, Stid - if that helps.

12:27 am

hurshy

and the ending is a latin plural

12:27 am

hurshy

the thesis kind, not the stadium or radius or florae

12:28 am

hurshy

o dear i really meant to be consistent there

12:28 am

stidmama

thanks liz and hurshy *thinking*

12:29 am

stidmama

:-D got it!

12:29 am

rastapopolous

thesis is a greek word, not latin

12:29 am

Lizlin

WTG, stid

12:29 am

hurshy

dang it all, and greek is the language i actually TOOK classes in. how fast it all slips out of the brain.

periwinkle

4:07 am

mattygroves

Ta. I shall probably shower (it's a lazy Sunday, don't judge me) before searching for those. Jeff has man flu so it won't be a thrilling Sunday.

4:11 am

mattygroves

Oh, got the tr8.

4:28 am

grannyrose

and cooee and g'day from me....lolll

4:48 am

mattygroves

Morning! I am now showered and dressed - Jeff's still in bed feeling rather poorly (man flu - nothing serious)

4:50 am

mattygroves

I've 64 left and see the list in my near future

4:51 am

sprite

good morning all

4:54 am

mattygroves

Morning Sprite. How goes this gloomy morning?

4:54 am

sprite

all good here. Got a slow day planned and looking forward to it. Just laundry. How are you?

4:55 am

mattygroves

About the same. Should be a quiet one here as Jeff's poorly. I have been driven out of the living room - we live in a flat with thin walls and next door's kids are...loud

4:56 am

sprite

so unpleasant, noise pollution :(

4:56 am

mattygroves

It's not entirely their fault - thin walls, 2 small girls

4:57 am

sprite

yeah kids that age are loud sometimes.

4:57 am

mattygroves

At least their stereo isn't on. They're from Afghanistan and have taste in music that reflects that. It's not my taste in music, however

4:57 am

sprite

I hope they keep it limited to daylight hours

4:58 am

mattygroves

Ermmm...not as such. In all fairness, we're still not large on the daylight here, though it's swiftly increasing

4:58 am

mattygroves

Occasionally, if they have it blasting, Jeff plays his pennywhistle as loudly as possible to make the point

4:58 am

sprite

yeah same here. Sorry your neighbours don't get the message yet

4:59 am

mattygroves

I'm missing a Z. I have he 4/9 meaning lust for life and its comparative and the pimples - can you tell me what I"m missing?

4:59 am

sprite

ok, so more st****ed is not st****ier?

5:02 am

sprite

not yet, I am afraid, I just got 64 words in. Will help you look though

5:02 am

mattygroves

stuffed?

5:02 am

sprite

ah, found it. Like the to4 coin babblet. Zo4/9

5:03 am

grannyrose

matty. zo4/9.

5:03 am

sprite

no st**** as in being tense and overburdened

5:03 am

grannyrose

*snuggles into sprite* HELLO MY DARLING. XOXOX

5:04 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend, come here, you need a big hug. One more night until the infusion, right?

5:04 am

grannyrose

i hav e been waiting and waiting... lovely to see you sweetie.

5:05 am

grannyrose

yup, darling. and my feet hurt. :-(

5:05 am

sprite

and I, you. Sorry to be so late. Tim had friends over last night and I stayed up too late. Indulged in taking it slow this morning.

5:06 am

grannyrose

sweetheart,..it is all good.

5:06 am

sprite

*gentle cool hands on the feet* I am so glad you will find relief tomorrow.

5:07 am

grannyrose

i simply cannot wait... but i will...

5:08 am

sprite

time for adjustments to the regime, rose. One week earlier for this infusion.

5:08 am

mattygroves

Hi Rose. Thanks for the zo

5:08 am

grannyrose

i tried so hard to pull weeds and prune the roses...

5:08 am

grannyrose

matty. dearest. you are very welcome.

5:09 am

sprite

I hope you have already ordered your new stool, rose. Gardening gives you so much joy, you should have all the help you can get to make it possible.

5:10 am

grannyrose

i hear you sprite. visiting the gardening store on the weekend.

5:10 am

sprite

*hugs rose* You are a brave one, you know that, don't you?

5:11 am

grannyrose

*grin* i know it because you recognise it. and you know how obstinate i am...

5:13 am

sprite

yeah well, obstinacy is a good thing, taken in moderation. Without it, you wouldn't have made it this far. As long as you try to not let it work against you :D (yeah, been there, done that, still doing it too often...)

5:13 am

grannyrose

church today was very nice. my vicar was very concerned how last monday went. she is the most ut!!!

5:14 am

sprite

5:14 am

grannyrose

grannyrose

my darling is right here beside me, sprite.

5:15 am

sprite

ohhh ok, sorry. Your vicar sounds like a wonderful woman.

5:15 am

sprite

give him a hug from me

5:17 am

grannyrose

she is so incredible. there was a house fire today. she was down to the street where it was...saying...is there anything i can do?...i am here to support if i am needed.

5:18 am

sprite

she is the real thing. Gives one back some faith in organised religion.

5:19 am

grannyrose

it so does sprite. it is so difficult to recognise help where it is needed.

5:20 am

sprite

well, am looking forward to meeting her, some day when I come and visit you guys

5:21 am

grannyrose

*putting the monies aside*

5:22 am

sprite

sweetheart, if I had more money, I'd have been visiting you already. Who knows, if the nail thing is gonna work out, I will be able to save up

5:23 am

grannyrose

*grin* between us we will make it hap;pen.

5:23 am

5:32 am

mattygroves

It's gloomy here but mild (about 13C)

5:33 am

grannyrose

5:35 am

rubyfoo

I don't know the temp here, matty, but it'sw probably not that different from yours except maybe in the sun

5:35 am

mattygroves

Sun would be nice, sadly not to be here. But then, I *do* live in England. On purpose.

5:36 am

rubyfoo

We haven't had much, either, but the winter had less snow, more rain, than usual

5:44 am

Found them - never mind!!

5:51 am

sukee

I don't have the os 7 though :)

5:51 am

mattygroves

The OU5 is pretty straight forward. The OS7 I had to have clued. The OU7 uses the ou4 but with a slightly unexpected ending

5:52 am

mattygroves

OU4, sorry

5:52 am

mattygroves

It's an ou4/5, not an ou5.

8:30 am

JBsAnno

Right, crossy? Trif might be on something, she had a cryptic message she posted several times. I think she was channeling Prince in his symbolic days.

8:30 am

TheByzantine

8:36 am

car.eeyore

Pray for us all

8:37 am

crosshair

8:37 am

car.eeyore

I'll catch you my dear

8:38 am

car.eeyore

I have not found a new word since I went through the first time...better focus

car.eeyore

I have 67 to go here

8:39 am

Trifioso

because you have been too busy picturing alex naked, you saucy minx

8:40 am

car.eeyore

When fantasizing of men naked, I have to say, he is low on my list if there at all

8:40 am

Trifioso

I know, right?????

8:40 am

car.eeyore

There is something about him that is appealing, but then he sounds so pompous

8:41 am

Trifioso

crossy, is it time for "trifioso's lame homeowner question of the day?"

8:41 am

crosshair

go ahead, trif

8:41 am

welki

... like when he corrects french pronounciations

8:41 am

MLFAN17

hello again

8:41 am

car.eeyore

"Oh no, I'm sorry. That is not the right spot. You are now in the minus column.:

8:42 am

Trifioso

I need to add a threshold under the door between my kitchen and garage, to cut down on freezing air blowing in. Kitchen floor is tile, door is steel. Is it okay to just glue the threshold down and caulk it well, or MUST I get special tile screws and all that

8:42 am

MLFAN17

car did you start last night?

8:42 am

car.eeyore

no

8:42 am

crosshair

drill pilot holes and screw it down

8:42 am

MLFAN17

you are better at this then I am

8:43 am

Trifioso

ugh, was afraid of that. where would i be, and where would my house be, without you, darling crossy?

8:43 am

car.eeyore

Oh, it depends on the day MLF. Babble is an equalizer

8:43 am

crosshair

drilling pilot holes will ensure you do not crack your tile

8:43 am

Trifioso

thank you as always

8:43 am

crosshair

(trif))

8:44 am

MLFAN17

car it is?

8:45 am

car.eeyore

I think so. we all start the same way

8:45 am

crosshair

Generally, Trif the toughest, most irritating, most time consuming way of doing any minor home repair is usually the right way :)

8:46 am

MLFAN17

car yes by finding words

8:46 am

Trifioso

greeeat. eye roll

8:46 am

crosshair

and make sure you test fit it before you drill

8:46 am

MLFAN17

after you spent a while doing it the wrong way cross?

8:46 am

crosshair

lol

8:47 am

crosshair

The only way that i have ever learned to do something is to do it wring many time beforehand

8:47 am

Trifioso

please, this whole chat is guaranteeing that threshold will sit there untouched for months

8:47 am

Aloyisius

bbl, duty calls/ 49 yet to find, poof

8:47 am

crosshair

wrong*

8:47 am

crosshair

it will be fine, trif

8:48 am

MLFAN17

my husband put a bookshelf together once. a kit from a store said it wouldn't take that long to fit together. it took him 8hrs and a lot of "words" if you get what I mean:)

8:48 am

car.eeyore

hagd

8:48 am

Trifioso

a universal truth I learned in gardening: if you can't pull it out without a backhoe, its a weed. If it comes right out of the ground at first touch, it's the plant you wanted to grow

8:48 am

MLFAN17

cross that is the only way:)

8:49 am

MLFAN17

trif LOL

8:50 am

crosshair

We will be eating chicken for a month ;)

8:50 am

MLFAN17

8:50 am

crosshair

I am thinking of tasty stir-frys

8:51 am

MLFAN17

that sounds good cross

8:51 am

Trifioso

crossy, do all your college papers have to be written APA style?

8:52 am

crosshair

pasta with a mushroom cream sauce with slivers of chicken throughout

8:52 am

crosshair

yes, all in APA

8:52 am

Trifioso

its the biggest PITA ever. I hate it. HATE it

8:52 am

MLFAN17

cross you can keep the mushroom sauce

8:52 am

crosshair

Alle the colleges and Unis around here use APA exclusivly

8:52 am

Trifioso

i forgot to indent the second line of my references last paper, and the prof took ten points off. TEN

8:53 am

crosshair

yes, tab/indent every subsequent line

8:53 am

crosshair

A good reference page can make or break your paper

8:53 am

Trifioso

NOW you tell me! lol

8:53 am

crosshair

I actually enjoy making them :) I am weird

8:54 am

Trifioso

Ill send you all mine then, and you can go to town

8:54 am

crosshair

if you wish, send the urls or book titles and i will brew it up for you

8:54 am

Trifioso

that wouldnt be so cricket...I must learn to do it myself. but thanks

8:55 am

crosshair

i can advise then ;)

8:55 am

Trifioso

im a big one for standing on my own.....

8:56 am

Trifioso

after 20 years of mr hate telling me constantly that I couldn't do anything, would break everything, I "didn't need something else to fail at" being independent and finding my own footing is HUGE

8:57 am

Trifioso

poor valentine has to be SO patient with me....I refuse to let him pay for ANYTHING and sometimes he gets a bit frustrated..."cant I take my girlfriend out once in a while?" ah, the male ego is a fragile thing.....but then so is mine, lol

8:57 am

crosshair

That UBC paper i sent you is invaluable and is my go-to when i do not wish to spend my life wading through owl Purdue

8:58 am

Trifioso

you bless me. ah, the purdue owl.....know that little bugger well. I did finally FINALLY find the APA manual....

8:58 am

car.eeyore

You college kids have a language all your own now

8:58 am

crosshair

;)

8:59 am

crosshair

car, it is insane. i have spent two days making up a essay, and 5 days making a reference page for it.

8:59 am

MLFAN17

yeah you are speaking Chinese to me lol

8:59 am

redshoes

I used to spend a lot of time at Owl Purdue.

8:59 am

car.eeyore

May I ask you something...in the grand scheme of life and practical every day use, it is THAT important?

8:59 am

redshoes

Then I found the reference section of Word

9:00 am

crosshair

i just pick a university that has a good APA pamphlet, redshoes :)

9:00 am

redshoes

So brilliant, made me wish I still had to write papers

9:00 am

MLFAN17

hi red

9:00 am

car.eeyore

i am not being facetious (?sp), I really want to know how it translates into actual life skill

9:00 am

crosshair

I use the Word reference generator as well

9:00 am

Trifioso

not even remotely car. but it's the standard format they picked, and it will be the death of us all

9:00 am

redshoes

Crossy, isn't it beautiful?

9:01 am

car.eeyore

But why would they have you spend your time on something like that instead of "skills"

9:01 am

crosshair

APA is a heartless, evil bitch from which there is no escape..

9:01 am

car.eeyore

I don't get ti

9:01 am

car.eeyore

*it

9:01 am

Trifioso

i appreciate that there has to be some uniformity across academia, but ugh. to lose ten points over it frosted me arse.

9:01 am

Trifioso

thank you crossy! could not agree more.

9:01 am

crosshair

i know it. over something so petty as indents

9:01 am

MLFAN17

my husband is wearing a hat took food and I don't mean a chef's hat lol

9:02 am

car.eeyore

Well, I am certainly glad I do not have to interact with that heartless bitch

9:02 am

Trifioso

hahahaha. pics or it didn't happen, mlf

9:02 am

MLFAN17

no pics sorry

9:02 am

crosshair

I lost points once in my in-text quotes because when referring to a page number i mistakenly used a upper-case P once

9:02 am

car.eeyore

: )

9:03 am

car.eeyore

see that shit would drive me crazy

9:03 am

crosshair

and do not forget that period after the p.

9:03 am

redshoes

As far as academia and academic papers/research, I think the need to properly cite references and fact check is imperative. As far as student work, I can completely understand profs/teachers asking students to use one specific style.

9:03 am

MLFAN17

he was just telling me how he used to ear the same type of hat he I wearing at the moment like a fisherman's hat I guess all the time as he had long hair

9:04 am

redshoes

Having tools like Word's reference is incredibly helpful. Wish I had it when I was in school.

9:04 am

MLFAN17

au6?

9:04 am

redshoes

Okay, have to get ready for church. Have a wonderful day!!!

9:04 am

car.eeyore

I get that and I can totally see the prof stating "Use this format. Mistakes in such will result in deductions", but to weigh so much on it is not right

9:04 am

crosshair

took me 3 years to glean enough APA material to have a basic understanding without running to owl purdue every 5 seconds

9:04 am

car.eeyore

72 Temple Owl

9:14 am

one to do with hair and the other 2 attempt

9:17 am

periwinkle

the hair one?

9:17 am

periwinkle

yep, I got it thank you

9:18 am

MLFAN17

yes peri I was thinking the definition you gave was a word with the first vowel being a u

9:19 am

periwinkle

I am looking for the de8s but not seeing either of them

9:19 am

car.eeyore

DE 8/50 is the plural of skins

9:19 am

periwinkle

ty car

9:20 am

car.eeyore

de 8/45 sounds like the plural of a carnival ride but with a different first letter

9:20 am

periwinkle

I don't get that clue

9:21 am

MLFAN17

does it extend from the 7?

9:21 am

car.eeyore

think of a big wheel that you ride at the carnival

9:21 am

MLFAN17

I got the de 7 form your clue car?

9:21 am

MLFAN17

from

9:22 am

MLFAN17

car?

9:22 am

periwinkle

I figured that out but cannot make a de8

9:22 am

periwinkle

I found a de7

9:22 am

MLFAN17

me either peri

9:23 am

MLFAN17

so did I peri and that's what I thought car had clued and not the 8?

9:23 am

car.eeyore

de + double consonant + present form of the verb to be

9:23 am

car.eeyore

That gives you DE 6/21; plural it for the DE 8/45

9:23 am

My body hurts all over, but we are going out again in an hour.

9:48 am

car.eeyore

Nice!

9:49 am

Scrabbler

The snow was deep Fri so that was hard work, and heavy yesterday (temp almost 50). Today it will be mid-30's so the snow will be crunchy. I also fell once Fri and twice yesterday so am a bit sore. Do not try stepping backwards with snowshoes on.

10:15 am

MimiCat

Always amazing to me that people decided to try to eat things like that..and shrimp, lobster. I LOVE 'em but who'd have though initially they'd be good?!

MLFAN17

10:17 am

rururocks

I just can't eat an oyster.. I can't stand the smell

10:17 am

MimiCat

Will NOT under any circumstances try octopus, however.

rururocks

10:19 am

rururocks

ugh

10:20 am

MLFAN17

mi7?

10:20 am

rururocks

calamari and octopus are relatives

10:21 am

MimiCat

I know, but the calamari is just thin rings while the octopus looks like what it is.

10:21 am

rururocks

no..

10:21 am

MLFAN17

I wouldn't touch either with a 10ft pole

10:21 am

rururocks

I had thinly sliced octopus in Canada when I visited everyone up there and it was excellent

10:21 am

MimiCat

No, what?

10:22 am

poodletoes

calamari and octopus are only related in that one is the cooked version and one is the live animal

10:22 am

rururocks

MLFAN17

10:25 am

MimiCat

10:30 am

MimiCat

12:31 pm

Berkeley Breathed's tributes to Harper Lee are amazing. It made me realize that no matter what your art form is (writing, painting, cartoons) that you can inspire and touch people with that art form.

5:25 pm

Nef

Hi TO; how are you doing today?

5:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

fines, and you?

5:31 pm

Nef

a bit slow (especially in seeing your chat posts! :-)

5:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

i've decided to bake tonight. cookies.

5:33 pm

therealblah

what kind TO?

5:33 pm

Nef

Good for you! What kind?

5:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think chocolate chip or sea salt chocolate chip

5:34 pm

Nef

sounds good.

5:35 pm

Nef

Hi blah; how are you today

5:39 pm

Nef

I'm freezing, BRB after I make tea

5:39 pm

Soodle

Oh man! I'd love to be able to bake cookies. All I can manage is bread - not terribly exciting.

5:39 pm

therealblah

howdy nef, doing well thanks, bit of rain here today which we need

5:39 pm

therealblah

how are you doing?

5:40 pm

therealblah

i love to bake but then end up eating it allâ€¦not good for my waist

5:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

i bailed on going out tonight

5:42 pm

Soodle

I was mourning my lack of baking skills on Friday. I paid â‚¬70 to have a birthday cake made to order!

5:43 pm

Soodle

Where should you have been going, TO?

5:43 pm

Nef

Wow! that must have been made of gold, Soodle!

5:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

to rockabilly

5:44 pm

Soodle

Almost, Nef. Pic of the birthday girl. & Taylor Swift superimposed on the cream....

5:45 pm

Soodle

I'm intrigued Temple Owl. A concert? Dance class? A hootenanny

5:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

dive bar. rockabilly is best in a dive.

5:47 pm

Soodle

Aw. Pity you bailed. Sounds like fun.

5:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

saw a great video of french rockabilly kids dancing at the Eiffel tower

5:48 pm

Soodle

Is rockabilly dancing similar to jiving ?

5:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes swing, lindy hop, balboa, etc

5:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

there is a whole subculture of kids, and a lot of bikers.

5:50 pm

Soodle

Sounds energetic!

5:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

yep. i cannot lindy. balboa is similar to zydeco but front to back instead of side to side. and fast!

5:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

not much room to dance, have to take turns.

5:51 pm

Soodle

Dress code?

5:51 pm

Nef

I've never heard of balboa; that sounds interesting

5:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

if you are a rockabilly kid, late forties- early fifties stuff. or jeans. and lots of tats

5:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:56 pm

Soodle

Speaking of bikers.... My older brother, age 56, a rock of sense & pillar of his community has gone off & bought a Harley. I'm so disappointed at his stereotypical mid-life-crisis. He could have been a bit more imaginative.

5:56 pm

Soodle

Ah TO - cool!!

5:57 pm

Nef

LOL! That's funny Soodle.

5:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

if i had a dollar for all of the dating profiles that mention a harley...

5:57 pm

Soodle

Never sat on a motor ike

5:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

that video had swing, lindy hop, and balboa

5:58 pm

Soodle

bike in his life before now. Eye-roll

5:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

yep, midlife crisis.

5:59 pm

Soodle

So - whats your dance, TO?

5:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

just basic east coast swing, zydeco, various cajun two steps and waltz

6:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

but they tried to teach me the merengue and the hustle last sunday

6:01 pm

Soodle

Temple Owl - did you ever hear of Imelda May? She's an Irish rockabilly singer. She's a tual quite good

6:01 pm

Soodle

Temple Owl - did you ever hear of Imelda May? She's an Irish rockabilly singer. She's a tual
quite good

6:01 pm

Soodle

Temple Owl - did you ever hear of Imelda May? She's an Irish rockabilly singer. She's a tual

6:01 pm

Soodle

Crikey - damn ipad. Sorry

6:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:03 pm

Soodle

The merengue? Doesnt that feature in Barry Manilow's song Copa Cabanna?

6:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes.

6:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

i saw graham nash on friday. i was right in front. got a let list and a pick. he still has hair!

6:06 pm

Nef

How was his voice, TO?

6:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

good. he'slost a bit of high, but still has a lot

6:06 pm

Soodle

Wow. He has some back catalogue!

6:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

and he sang four old songs and four or five new.

6:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

that surprised me

6:08 pm

Soodle

Was he on his own, TO, or did he have a band/backing singers?

6:08 pm

Soodle

What oldies did he perform?

6:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

wait, let me get the setlist

6:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

he had a guitarist

6:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

but for the main show may have had others

6:10 pm

Nef

And that was it? Cool! (His voice must have held up well over the years then)

6:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

he did bus stop, immigration man, wsted on the way, and teach for oldies

6:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

and four from the new album.

6:11 pm

Soodle

I just googled his image. He seems to the weathered the years well

6:11 pm

Nef

Nice!

6:12 pm

Nef

It seems to me he was the high tenor for Crosby, Still & Nash back in the 70's, right?

6:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

he was the harmony. the best at that

6:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

and before that, the hollies

6:13 pm

Nef

I forgot about that! :-)

6:15 pm

Nef

That sounds like something I would have enjoyed, TO; I hope it was fun.

6:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, it was.

Hi folks

6:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi, ort

6:18 pm

Nef

My daughter has officially had to retire from roller derby; but she is now one of the photographers for the league she was in. There was a bout last night; & DH & I went but I think we are now officially "old people" because we came home before the bout was over (& got home before 9:30).

6:18 pm

Nef

hi origami, how are you doing today?

6:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

i can relate! i need a nap to go dancing

6:19 pm

origami

I just read back through the chat and see that TO saw graham nash. I would love to see him. It would be nice if CSN toured again.

6:19 pm

origami

I'm OK Nef ... now are you today?

6:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

if he comes near you, do go. he lives in CA now

6:20 pm

Nef

Well, to be honest, we had our grandson over for Friday night & then he was here almost all day (his choice!); so I think both of us were worn out before the bout.

6:21 pm

origami

He's going to be in Berkeley in March I think. I'll try to get one of my aging hippie friends to go with me :D

6:21 pm

Nef

(& neither of us got dressed all day today either.)

6:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

the joys of retirement.

6:23 pm

Nef

Not really, TO; when I said I was slow today; I meant it. & DH has had 2 naps; I'm hoping we're not getting sick

6:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

i hope you are just tired. see you tomorrow

6:25 pm

Nef

Nighters, TO. I hope that's all it is too.

6:25 pm

origami

hope you're not getting sick Nef. There is some nasty stuff out there

6:25 pm

Nef

And good luck making cookies!

6:27 pm

Nef

I've had a backache & neck ache today; It's odd because DH had that drier this week & so did a friend; so it's nothing serious but rather unusual for a bug going around

6:29 pm

origami

backaches are awful ... hope it gets better quickly

6:31 pm

Nef

It will.

6:33 pm

Nef

6:51 pm

penquis

my friend always used to say that....Wonder who was the first brave guy to eat a lobster?....

6:52 pm

Nef

Do you suppose that it came over with the first Europeans? (Don't they have lobster -or something close to it - there?

6:52 pm

penquis

they used to serve it to prisoners here....to the point where the prisoners complained....many years ago....

6:52 pm

rururocks

jeez...

6:52 pm

therealblah

maybe they ate everything, and just paid attention to who died afterwards...
