1:44 am

nbs and nbt

1:47 am

Thanks. Still a long way to go. lol

1:47 am

Hows you?

1:47 am

sprite

hehehe true

1:49 am

medusa

94 left so under 100 now

1:50 am

sprite

I am fine. And 60 words in so far

1:50 am

medusa

Cool

1:51 am

sprite

of course, as usual, not a single biggie before halfway. But will get them in the end.

1:51 am

medusa

lol

1:51 am

medusa

I got the de 7/8 combo by pure guesswork! lol

1:52 am

sprite

lol! Never underestimate the power of guessing.

1:52 am

medusa

It is good. ;)

1:54 am

medusa

Well all is fun here. I have 7 puppies running round being little sods! lol. They are now 5 weeks old!

1:54 am

sprite

I knew you had puppies, didn't realise they were already 5 weeks! How are you doing with getting ready to let them go??

1:56 am

medusa

gonna be hard but must be done. They are into everything now. So funny to watch them play

1:56 am

sprite

I would melt into a puddle of hot butter, just watching them

1:57 am

medusa

I do!. They love kisses and hugs too. When you pick them up thier little tails go mad!

1:58 am

sprite

awwww that is so sweet! So you are doing a good job socialising them? Using the vacuumer and everything? :D

1:59 am

sprite

phantom: regulate(d)

1:59 am

medusa

Yes. They are doing so well. Such sweeties. Whoever gets them will be so lucky.

2:00 am

medusa

2 of them can get on the sofa themselves now and they can get up the stairs too. 1 of them worked out how to get down too today.

2:00 am

sprite

they will be. When the breeder does his/her work well, it is easy as pie housebreaking them and raising them to be a wonderful dog.

2:00 am

medusa

Have you got a clue for the te7 please?

2:00 am

sprite

oh dear... nothing is safe anymore :D

2:01 am

sprite

nope not yet, but will help finding it

2:01 am

Nope. They are all curled up on the sofa at the moment snuggled against me. Love watching them.

2:03 am

medusa

Strange word!

2:03 am

sprite

awww that is so sweet! I can picture you with all dem puppies!

2:04 am

2:04 am

sprite

resembling tiles or scales.

2:04 am

medusa

Ok. Just not heard it before. lol

2:05 am

sprite

2:05 am

medusa

It is a great learning place. ;0

2:06 am

sprite

2:13 am

medusa

2:13 am

sprite

lolll looked up the def. It is a verb, meaning 'to produce an output that oscillates between a certain maximum and zero, especially when due to the effect of a grid'

2:13 am

medusa

ok

2:14 am

sprite

my thought exacty. Not likely I will remember the def.

2:14 am

Can't say it is one I will either. lol
