name that proper noun: famous sculpter artist. Bonus reward if you can name at least two of his sculptures.

1:59 am

Glantarell

I am kissing and thinking.... with the burghers of Calais

2:00 am

sprite

Dingdingding Glant wins the toaster AND the kiss of the sculpter!

2:00 am

Glantarell

:)

2:01 am

Glantarell

Morning, I won't say good because it is poring with rain here

2:02 am

Glantarell

*pouring

2:02 am

sprite

here as well. But it is a good day anyway, lol. My girl has passed her finals with flying colours. Cum laude and a special award for scoring 9.6/10 for her german exam.

2:03 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and good morning my dear sprite. g'day glant

2:03 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello my dear friend, how was your day?

2:03 am

Glantarell

congratulations, a good step along the way to a career

2:03 am

grannyrose

Caya is the best....please tell her i am proud of her too.

2:03 am

Glantarell

Morning Rose

2:05 am

sprite

sure is, Glant. She also did her English exam a year earlier, and she has done Cambridge english on the highest level, also with a diploma. Now onto the international university, studying the science of language. She is doing so great.

2:05 am

sprite

will do, rose :D

2:06 am

grannyrose

a bit of a downer actually. don wanted me to confirm the date when his sister di4 last year. going through all the hand-outs from weddings, funerals, birthdays and baptisms found the one from darling robyn's funeral. the photo on the front triggered a torrent of tears. and i thought i was over the worst.

2:06 am

sprite

aw sweetie. *holding you close for a bit*

2:07 am

Glantarell

Grief strikes unexpectedly, try to remember good things.

2:07 am

grannyrose

ta love. i'll be okay. i guess i still miss her a lot.

2:07 am

sprite

I think you never get over a loss like that. It becomes more bearable over time and you are not thinking of it any minute anymore, but when you think of it again... there you are.

2:09 am

grannyrose

i recognise it is my missing her that causes the grief. but i wouldn't wish her back for anything. she was in so much pain and swollen up to nearly 3 times her normal size.

2:09 am

grannyrose

anyhow, are you and Caya still dancing around? or is she off celebrating with her friends?

2:10 am

sprite

isn't it always? That is what grief is, in the end... the pain of missing someone in our lives who was indispensable. And you would love to have her back... if in good health.

2:11 am

sprite

yes sweetie, we are over the moon. She went celebrating with her friends yesterday. Today we will go out for dinner, bringing a friend of hers too.

2:11 am

grannyrose

how lovely... so what now? choosing a uni/college? and which course to study?

2:12 am

sprite

heck no, that has been done and arranged ages ago. She is gonna study the science of languages, on the international university at the other end of our country, remember? She is moving out in two months.

2:13 am

grannyrose

oh yes.... gosh you are so gonna miss her.

2:14 am

sprite

I am. Very much.

2:21 am

grannyrose

i'm still here. just letting you know...

2:22 am

sprite

hehehe ok darling. No squirrels this time? :)

2:22 am

grannyrose

btw, don is much better today... finally. he is eating again.

2:22 am

grannyrose

too wet for squirrels....

2:23 am

sprite

I am so glad. He was in a bad way yesterday. Did you have to inject him?

2:23 am

grannyrose

yup. and he slept for nearly 12 hours.

2:24 am

sprite

good, that is sometimes the only way. am glad for him it is over... and for you too :D

2:27 am

sprite

am off to the doctor in an hour. My ear is inflamed. Not an ear infection, but just on the inside of the ear orifice. Had it once before and doctor told me then that it is very dangerous, so close to the brain. So antibiotics straight away. Sigh.

2:27 am

grannyrose

good grief sweetie. absolutely too near the brain.

2:28 am

sprite

yeah he gave me Augmentin back then. Very heavy duty antibiotics. Helped against the infection... then I got a rash all over... and then a vaginal infection. Yay for antibiotics.

2:29 am

grannyrose

this time start the yoghurt now...

2:29 am

sprite

better than dying of a malfunctioning brain though

2:29 am

grannyrose

those AB's give me a good run for my money.

2:30 am

sprite

yes will do that, right from the start.

2:30 am

grannyrose

also ask him for pessaries/cream to use to keep the thrush under control.

2:31 am

Glantarell

apply the live yogurt internally/topically and it will help with the nether region too.

2:32 am

Glantarell

at least as well as thrush creams/pessaries

2:32 am

sprite

good idea. I really hate to put my body through this all right now. With all the weight loss and the minimal portions of food, it is already working so hard for me.

2:32 am

sprite

also a very good idea. Thanks girls :D

2:33 am

grannyrose

do you have probiotics over there sprite?

2:33 am

grannyrose

or yokult?

2:33 am

sprite

not sure. What are they?

2:33 am

sprite

ah yes, Yakult we have

2:34 am

Glantarell

There is a lot of research at the moment about gut flora and how they affect our health.

2:34 am

grannyrose

probiotics are capsules of live culture to help the intestines when they are assailed by strong AB's. yakult does pretty much the same.

2:35 am

sprite

putting it on shopping list. Yoghurt, yakult.

2:35 am

sprite

I'll get a supply of yakult then. Great idea.

2:35 am

grannyrose

good girl... be prepared.... say that sounds like a good motto !! lolll

2:36 am

Glantarell

Or take Dr Udo's Super 8 microbiotic capsules (store in fridge) which will start your post-antibiotic gut flora off well.

2:36 am

Glantarell

there was an experiment where two women of the same age, and weight, and activity levels ate the same diet for a month.

2:36 am

sprite

*gr5* makes me think of the Lion King movie... the amazing song of Scar and the hyenas.

2:38 am

Glantarell

Their weight gain/loss difference was surprising. They were also subjected to regualr blood testing after eating and it turns out that the same foods were reacting differently in their gut - because of their gut flora systems - scientists are now trying to work out how people can rebalance their gut flora to make it work better (but my guess is that cutting otu sugar would be very helpful!)

2:39 am

grannyrose

interesting glant. who would have thought it?

2:40 am

Glantarell

indeed, it seems to be at least a paertial explanation of why some people lose weight faster on the same diets, or don't lose weight at all. For the two women involved, each learned to avoid the foods which weren't being fully digested.

2:41 am

sprite

very interesting

2:41 am

grannyrose

and i read that testosterone levels cann affect your weight loss/gain too

2:42 am

sprite

yes they do. Lots of research going on re weight loss and diets atm.

2:42 am

Glantarell

scientists are also suspecting that the gut flora affect lots of other aspects of our health too

2:43 am

sprite

which nature doctors have known for ages and ages

2:43 am

Glantarell

but we need to eat the right diet for them to flourish - I seem to remember that eating a lot of brassicas was a good start

2:43 am

grannyrose

it seems pretty obvious to me

2:44 am

sprite

what are brassicas??

2:44 am

Glantarell

ha, more and more of the 'old wives tales' are being found to be true...

2:44 am

Glantarell

brassicas - broccoli, cabbages, cauliflowers, purple sprouting broccoli

2:44 am

sprite

very true, Glant. Also, the wisdom of ancient chinese doctors...

2:45 am

sprite

oh nice! We eat those quite often.

2:45 am

grannyrose

so do we.... when we aren't eating salads.

2:45 am

Glantarell

yes. their knowledge and understanding was built up over centuries, and scientists were in a bit of a rush to dismiss it all

2:46 am

sprite

that sums it up nicely, Glant :)

2:47 am

Glantarell

the other thing they did was test the gut flora and immune systems of some primary age children. the farmer's child was the healthiest on every count, they said it is because she had been exposed to the widest range of bacteria at the earliest age

2:47 am

Glantarell

and the children form the super clean homes, whose parents had kept them mostly indoors and safe, had the least healthy immune systems and gut flora...#

2:48 am

Glantarell

right, off to work, happy babbling

2:48 am

sprite

hagd, Glant

2:49 am

grannyrose

enjoy your day glant

2:49 am

sprite

yes, same here. Other mothers here were angry at me for letting my kids play in sandboxes and dirt. I was a bad parent, they said. But our kids hardly ever got sick, or even much of a cold. And theirs were ill all the time.

2:51 am

grannyrose

sorry, vicar has sent us some forms via email. don and i are going to co-ordinated a community outreach project. we are opening up the church with free wifi and lunch and coffee/tea etc provided.

2:51 am

sprite

very nice. Will you take care of yourself though?

2:52 am

grannyrose

yes, i'll be mainly sitting, i hope, directing volunteers

2:52 am

sprite

that sounds ok

2:55 am

grannyrose

we will also be giving access to laptops for them to use.

2:55 am

sprite

great outreach project

2:58 am

grannyrose

how are you do5 with the gr4? the last 20 or so were hen's teeth for me

2:58 am

sprite

ah, finally the 9

2:58 am

sprite

am at the hen's teeth part, yes

2:59 am

grannyrose

yeah that was a weird one for me

2:59 am

sprite

only good thing about my hen's teeth is that usually they are biggies.

3:00 am

sprite

ugh... the Big Guy + the alien who phoned home. I always miss that word.

3:01 am

grannyrose

for once i found that one on my first run through.

3:02 am

grannyrose

i did say for once. i usually don't see it at all.

3:02 am

sprite

good for you! Fireflies here. *hugs* for you, my darling. Sleep well tonight. And have a great day tomorrow. I am off to the GP.

3:03 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!! xoxox honey.

3:27 am

gapeach

Hello all. May I please have a clue for re9? Thanks

3:28 am

gapeach

I have re-6 and re8 but the 9 is eluding me. Thanks

3:32 am

zoozzoom

RE + a three letter word for a person considered to be obnoxious + gerund.

3:34 am

gapeach

Thanks zooz, which re do I start with please.

3:35 am

zoozzoom

Either two will work.

3:36 am

zoozzoom

Or I could go all out and say RE + SO 7/44

3:37 am

gapeach

That is sweet of you zooz.....I'll look for the so 7 now.

3:38 am

zoozzoom

The SO7 means. the surface of the ground, especially when covered with grass; turf; sward.

3:39 am

zoozzoom

OR SO + double consonant + gerund.

3:40 am

gapeach

You are wonderful......don't ever forget it.

3:40 am

zoozzoom

lol you are too, ((Gapeach))

4:19 am

5:21 am

rubyfoo

I am very Lucky to have so much help here! I have Luisa who makes the fire, walks the dogs and does some cleaning (as little as possible) and Ndia, who does the grocery shopping, runs errands and prepares dogs' dinner for a few days at a time. And then there's the lady who brings lunch.

5:31 am

Aaaah, the sun just cme out!

5:36 am

Wife is all excited about getting her grad photos done today. She is already fussing with her hair and face in the bathroom in an extended effort that I fear will last all morning :)

5:39 am

sukee

Oy, gun store owner who sold weapons to Orlando shooter and denied him body armour but didn't think to call the police says on TV "I don't know what anyone could have done"

5:39 am

sukee

Sorry, don't want to get political :)

5:39 am

sukee

Good for the wife Crossy :)

5:40 am

crosshair

it is an insane situation, Sukee, and as always, the innocent pay the ultimate price...

5:41 am

crosshair

My thoughts on all of it are throughout FB for those who care to read any of it.

5:42 am

sukee

What is our username on Facebook?

5:42 am

crosshair

I am Paul Alan on FB

5:42 am

5:44 am

The stupidity of the American people is confounding! Assault weapons!!! There can be no legitimate use for them

5:44 am

5:45 am

sukee

Cool

5:45 am

rubyfoo

And Trumpfff says it would have been better if the clubbers in Orlando had bee armed....He also said that about the last Paris attacks!

5:45 am

crosshair

I was verbally lambasted by one fella who did not agree with my ideas. he was proud to tell me he keeps 40,000 rounds of ammunition on hand "Just in case."

5:46 am

rubyfoo

In case of what?

5:46 am

sukee

Yes, I'm sure he thinks he could take on the government all by himself.

5:46 am

crosshair

That is what I am afraid of, Ruby

5:46 am

rubyfoo

I don't really care if anyone says keep politics out of here. Nobody has to read the chat!

5:47 am

sukee

It is going to be insane in the US for a while no matter who gets elected. The nuts have been released on both sides.

5:47 am

crosshair

:)

5:47 am

rubyfoo

And when he says he knows more than the generals....I find myself yelling at the TV!

5:47 am

ladycece920

maybe he's getting ready for the alien invasion :)

5:47 am

crosshair

My feisty exotic french GF

5:48 am

I think that's it, cece, but I thought ordinary bullets wouldn't syop aliens or zombies lol

5:48 am

HarryHood

good morning! just got nbt - boy it's hot in here

5:48 am

5:49 am

sukee

Hi Harry

5:49 am

rubyfoo

Somebody in here got angry at me ladt week for being political. Tant pis, as they say here.

5:49 am

ladycece920

LOL .... makes as much sense as anything else he could be ready for!!

5:49 am

bichon

It's so much more satisfying to look at this from abroad

5:49 am

rubyfoo

Disagreement is healthy; suppressing views isn't!

5:49 am

sukee

Yes, tough noogies

5:50 am

sukee

Thank goodness i have baseball to escape to :)

5:50 am

rubyfoo

Hahah, sukee.

5:50 am

HarryHood

I really believed (and still do, perhaps unrealistically) that some third party angel will come walking up the middle and grab the election.

5:50 am

rubyfoo

Bichon, living abroad doesn't make it easier and France isn't exactly a sfe place, either

5:51 am

bichon

Not so unsafe in Anency

5:51 am

HarryHood

There was this Philip Roth book where Fiorello LaGuardia saved the day from a corrupt and racist administration - I guess it's a fantasy now

5:51 am

sukee

Sadly, there never is a white knight who comes to the rescue.

5:51 am

rubyfoo

No baseball on TV here and, at the moment, I don't have the patience for soccer

5:51 am

crosshair

Maybe Trump will get arrested on one of those pending "university" cases before he gets a chance to do anything else :)

5:52 am

rubyfoo

Bichon, you would be amazed at the security at the hospital

5:52 am

rubyfoo

and at the supermarket

5:52 am

bichon

It must be irksome.

5:53 am

sukee

Some guy made a great catch at the baseball game yesterday. He caught the ball with one hand while he was holding his daughter on his lap :)

5:53 am

rubyfoo

I don't mind having the security, but it makes me nervous anyway.

5:53 am

doseffing

... ruby ... at mlb.com you can spend 20$US and get access to the radio broadcast of every game ... baseball is better on radio any ways ... it almost makes me wish I was a Dodger fan so that I would listen to Vin Scully more often

5:54 am

rubyfoo

And in ChambÃ©ry nd Aix-les-Bainbs, where there are visible populations of Jews, they have soldiers guarding the <synagogues and Jewish schools

5:55 am

bichon

agreed!

5:55 am

rubyfoo

When I was a kid, I listened to Brooklyn dodgers' games on the radio -- whay a joy!

5:55 am

bichon

Where is that ruby?

5:55 am

bichon

My father was a odgers uber

5:56 am

sukee

Okay, I have to go get ready to go out. Have a great day all.

5:56 am

rubyfoo

An hour or so South of here. Both towns are bigger than Annecy

5:56 am

rubyfoo

Here, there isn't even a synagogue but there aremultiple mosques

5:57 am

doseffing

... so was mine ... he had seasons tickets to the Montreal Royals until he met my mother ... endless stories of watching Jackie Robinson, Johny Padres and Roy Campenella

5:57 am

HarryHood

nbs!

5:57 am

bichon

So many good rememberances of my father

5:57 am

rubyfoo

I inherited Dodgerism but then, when they left, I became a Mets fan.

5:58 am

crosshair

There is one thing I heard from an elderly lady online a few years ago that I will never forget. It pretty much sums up the mind-set of many people in the U.S over the gun regulation debate. We were talking about the ease of accessing handguns in many of the states, and she says to me: "I have TWO snub-nosed 38 revolvers in my purse. Always take them with me when I go shopping." I was flabbergasted, and said to her: "Why in the hell do you need TWO handguns in your purse to go shopping," and she replied: "Just in case one jams on me."

5:58 am

HarryHood

me too ruby! was living in flushing during the 1986 season

5:59 am

rubyfoo

I went to college in Flushing

5:59 am

HarryHood

You went to Queens College too Harry? That's three of us

6:00 am

6:00 am

JBV

good morning, Queensites - you brought me out of lurk mode - Astoria girl here

6:00 am

HarryHood

wow - how bizarre

6:00 am

rubyfoo

No, unfortunately, my first husband (who taught at QueensÂ°, was a Yankee fan (I should have known better!!!) lol

6:00 am

bichon

I graduated in 68

6:00 am

HarryHood

I lived in kew gardens hills, and forest hills after graduation

6:01 am

HarryHood

what did he teach ruby?

6:01 am

rubyfoo

I wasborn in Kew Gardens andmy sister lives in Forest Hills

6:01 am

rubyfoo

Astoria has the best Greek food on the planet, I think

6:02 am

bichon

I was born at the Brookly Naval Yard but moved to Rockaway when I was 4

6:02 am

rubyfoo

And Flushing, purportedly, hs the best Korean and Chinese

6:02 am

JBV

yes, still does, Ruby, I was there recently

6:02 am

HarryHood

did you know Archie Bunker jbv?

6:02 am

bichon

The Yankees, the mortal enemies

6:02 am

rubyfoo

He taught history

6:02 am

JBV

yes, my father!

6:03 am

JBV

but I didn't go to Queens, I went to Hunter - 20 min. by train

6:03 am

HarryHood

I took one excellent history course - titled "fascism, stalinism and naziism" by a fantastic prof named McConnel

6:03 am

rubyfoo

I'm envious as I miss the food in the US where you can find everything. Did you know that Queens county has the biggest number of foreign languages spoken than any other US county?

6:03 am

bichon

So I've heard ruby

6:04 am

HarryHood

my mom went to hunter

6:04 am

JBV

Harry I read that book you mentioned before - eerie how much it resembles what's going on now

6:04 am

bichon

I majored in Sociology, perfect for the 60's

6:04 am

JBV

I'm surprised more people are not talking about it now

6:04 am

JBV

The Plot Against America

6:04 am

HarryHood

except that there were concentration camps in new jersey in that book

6:05 am

JBV

but fiction and reality are not too far apart these days

6:05 am

JBV

it was Charles Lindbergh that went rogue

6:05 am

Politics are scary and the Right here is getting stronger each election.

6:05 am

JBV

it's scary to think how some people think that's a good idea (concentration camps)

6:06 am

HarryHood

I'm so sad that Roth is not writing anymore.

6:06 am

JBV

he's brilliant

6:06 am

rubyfoo

When anti-Islam is rampant, anti-semitism swiftly follows

6:06 am

HarryHood

There have been young authors who try to copy him, but nobody comes close

6:07 am

bichon

I am happy to say, in the US, we Trump [not!]

6:07 am

rubyfoo

My "helper", Nadia is Moroccan and her family has totally accepted my being Jewish etc.

6:08 am

HarryHood

I do think that Hillary will win, and in 25 years we'll remember this whole episode like we do the Wallace business

6:08 am

JBV

Harry the optimist - let's certainly hope so

6:08 am

rubyfoo

I tease her father when he urges me to eat that he's actually a Jewish mother in disg***e.

6:09 am

HarryHood

I'm not enamored of Hillary, so it's not so much optimism, but the better choice

6:09 am

rubyfoo

I hope you're right, Harry, because his violent and exclusive messages are very dangerous for the US and for the whole world.

6:10 am

JBV

what's most frightening is not his own personal craziness and preposterousness (is that a word?) but that millions of people like him and vote for him!

6:10 am

rubyfoo

I've always like Hillary; she fought the feminist battles and won, almost

6:10 am

HarryHood

dorens in the g...err board

6:11 am

crosshair

Hillary now, because there is really no other choice. the alternative is insanity and a global danger. Hillary should have no problem.

6:12 am

HarryHood

I was really hoping that Mike Bloomberg would join the race. But he was too pragmatic.

6:12 am

crosshair

Though I think that they should have grabbed Bernie, but that is just my two cents worth...

6:12 am

rubyfoo

She's smart and fierce, two qualities that make her unpopular. But her experience is what counts and hard diplomatic capabilities

6:13 am

JBV

I liked Bernie, too - I think he's started a movement that will keep pushing for needed change

6:13 am

rubyfoo

Bernie had grat ideas, but no way to make them happen but I think he has influenced the Democrats in a good way

6:14 am

HarryHood

166 to go. bbl - gotta get the house up

6:14 am

rubyfoo

I think that he'll remain part of the ongoing conversation

6:14 am

JBV

ruby did you see the video of the 8th grader who gave a commencement speech impersonating the candidates - hysterical

6:14 am

rubyfoo

No, is it one YouTube?

10:25 am

Scrabbler

It seems like all of the elementary schools are just doing fun stuff--field days, and field trips. No more learning. I guess the teachers give up in the last 2 weeks. Kids's brains and teachers' brains aren't into learning anymore.

10:26 am

MLFAN17

and then they go outside in the heat?..smart

10:27 am

Trifioso

That, and all the grades are done through a computer now. In order for thereports to be generated on time, grades had to close Monday. A full WEEK before school ended

10:27 am

Scrabbler

Yes, and get dehydrated.

10:28 am

MLFAN17

10:31 am

Trifioso

As a para and future teacher, I am willing to state publicly that I am disappointed in how the school uses this week. They could be teaching ALL SORTS of stuff that doesn't need to be graded

10:31 am

MLFAN17

sad but true

10:32 am

MLFAN17

isn't the week before the last week of school when the seniors graduate?

10:33 am

Trifioso

yes, the seniors are gone

10:34 am

MLFAN17

so basically a lot of teachers are doing nothing for two weeks lol

10:34 am

Scrabbler

I was disappointed to hear what elementary school kids were telling me since last week about their activities. All play. Pool day. Field days. Field trips. Farm days.

10:35 am

MLFAN17

scrab now? or duing the school year?

10:37 am

Trifioso

teachers were slammed last week getting grades in. now we are all just baby sitting

jesdraggon

what's eating your work life, scrabs? Or, if you don't want to talk about that, what's the plan for lunch? :D

11:34 am

Scrabbler

Electronic health records, for one, with the need to enter required data on every patient. #2 = the ongoing decay of parenting and the epidemic of feral children.

11:35 am

jesdraggon

are you converting from paper to electronic records?

11:35 am

Scrabbler

Lunch...salad with mixed greens, tomatoes, provolone, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.

11:35 am

jesdraggon

hubby keeps pushing that and i think it sounds like a nightmare to accomplish

11:35 am

aebmusica

gi6/24....clue please

11:36 am

Scrabbler

We did that over 6 years ago, but to be certified as a "Patient Centered Medical Home" we have to check off and write certain phrases.

11:36 am

jesdraggon

haven't got it, musica, sorry

11:37 am

jesdraggon

uhg. so you have to go back and update existing records?

11:37 am

I like your icon, MLFAN :)

11:37 am

hurshy

gi6/24 a person who makes the ___ in a ___ & tonic?

11:37 am

Scrabbler

No, it just means that completing every note is so time-consuming.

11:38 am

Scrabbler

TY, hurshy.

11:38 am

jesdraggon

thanks, hursh

11:40 am

Scrabbler

Jes, we must click so many items to show we reviewed them in the patient's chart, and we must type phrases when we prescribe a med such as: Patient/caregiver understands the need for the medication and possible side effects. The only barrier to adherence is noncompliance.

11:41 am

jesdraggon

Sounds like a situation for writing macros to complete lines.

11:42 am

hurshy

in word there are ways to have whole items like that pre-programmed so that you only have to hit a couple of keys to put them in - so - yeah, macros maybe, jes more succinct!

11:42 am

jesdraggon

great minds, hursh! :)

11:43 am

hurshy

i hate when i think, oh, i need to put in this word, i haven't put that yet! and it turns out, no, you have already.

11:44 am

Scrabbler

Yes, in the system we use they are called "Quick Picks."

11:44 am

11:47 am

jesdraggon

hah! I want 12 more words, then I will have 50%. I am unlikely to be of much help to you

11:47 am

Scrabbler

Alright, I need to go pick weeds in the garden, water plants, fill up bird feeders, mountain bike, make some artwork, read, etc. Enjoy the day, folks!

11:48 am

jesdraggon

2:11 pm

MLFAN17

want to come here and do my last 97?

2:11 pm

lilliann

I was trying to finish earlier but the bairn was nagging me too much to help me with my hair

2:12 pm

MLFAN17

shame on the bairn

2:12 pm

lilliann

No thanks, been there and done that! But i'll give any clues needed, they'll probably be crap though as some strange words as normal

2:13 pm

MLFAN17

yes some strange words this grid that I don't think we have had before

2:14 pm

lilliann

i'm glad as it really needed dying again.Hubby is coming home tomorrow and i haven't seen him for 10 weeks so i have to look half decent!

2:14 pm

MLFAN17

10 weeks?

2:18 pm

lilliann

He's a coach driver and does tours with tourists from abroad,mostly Americans,Canadians,kiwis and Aussies but also Chinese and Japanese

2:19 pm

lilliann

Now i'll have to shave my legs...lol

2:19 pm

MLFAN17

sounds very interesting

2:19 pm

MLFAN17

i am sure he will like that:)

2:19 pm

lilliann

I

2:19 pm

lilliann

He enjoys it.

2:20 pm

MLFAN17

:)

2:20 pm

lilliann

I'm sure it will, or it'll be like lying next to a yetti :)

2:20 pm

MLFAN17

2:21 pm

MLFAN17

2:22 pm

lilliann

lol.I do shave regularly...well my chin anyway.lol

2:22 pm

MLFAN17

oh how nice Lillian lol

2:23 pm

lilliann

no, the cat wanted to come in as it's raining yet again and then feeding and attention.

2:23 pm

MLFAN17

aww poor kitty

2:24 pm

lilliann

She's a selfish witch

2:25 pm

MLFAN17

that's not nice Lillian

2:25 pm

MLFAN17

our cat always wants my husband's attention

2:25 pm

lilliann

re5,re and sounds like an animal that snorts

2:26 pm

MLFAN17

you mean the lat two letters of the animal that snorts?

2:27 pm

lilliann

She supposed to be my cat but loves the bairn to bits even though she keeps picking her up all the time.She likes all of our attention but in different ways.

2:27 pm

lilliann

last 3

2:28 pm

MLFAN17

our cat is scared of me a lot of the time for no reason

2:28 pm

MLFAN17

but the cat will rub and lick me if the hubby is around sometimes :)

2:29 pm

lilliann

My cat scared of everything.Now i know where the word "scaredy cat"from.She's the most selfish cat we've ever had and the only one to scratch my stair carpet

2:30 pm

MLFAN17

our cat is scared at pretty much everything as well

2:30 pm

lilliann

Cats just pick and choose, depending on their moods.

2:30 pm

MLFAN17

our cat has torn up our couch and living room chair

2:31 pm

MLFAN17

you are right about their moods. i sneezed earlier and as usual she runs off .i went back to the bedroom to see her and her eyes wer as wide as saucuers

2:31 pm

lilliann

Mine wouldn't be allowed in the lounge if she did that.I've had loads of rescue cats and they've been really loving and not damaged anything,but not her.

2:32 pm

lilliann

I've put pepper and even dried mustard on the stairs but it doesn't stop her.

2:32 pm

MLFAN17

our cat is under 5 yrs old

2:32 pm

MLFAN17

saucers sorry for typo

2:33 pm

lilliann

our's is about8/9

2:33 pm

MLFAN17

i wouldn't prevent her from doing some things as you know cats will do what they want mostly

2:34 pm

lilliann

Mine is like that aswell.when i cough or sneeze she runs off and big eyes.

2:34 pm

MLFAN17

cats are very jumpy

2:35 pm

MLFAN17

i just got two words now only need 90 to finish

2:36 pm

Anniebrook

done but before I go I want to say that Molly has a good message in her profile. bye

2:36 pm

lilliann

I had a card kit once and had great sayings about cats and dogs.they were very apt about the cats but i can't remember what they said now.I think one said cats choose the owners not the other way around.

2:36 pm

MLFAN17

bye annie

2:36 pm

lilliann

Yay!Wtg Annie!

2:37 pm

MLFAN17

sounds about right

2:38 pm

MLFAN17

i try to look for cat pics on google to use for here something nice but not actual cats drawings and such

2:38 pm

lilliann

That's to do with all Countries.I need to look up what happened in Orlando.

2:39 pm

MLFAN17

a singer from an American tv show was shot and killed. But before that was a mass shooting at a gay night club

2:39 pm

MLFAN17

isis related i think but the guy was problems since he was even in elementary school

2:41 pm

lilliann

Oh God.That's terrible.That's the problem now, no-one is safe wherever we go, but we can't give in to these people or groups

2:42 pm

MLFAN17

that is my thought too no one is safe anywhere

2:43 pm

MLFAN17

too many people are in their own little worlds if you understand what i mean?

2:43 pm

lilliann

Apparently his wife helped scope out places

2:44 pm

MLFAN17

figures

2:45 pm

lilliann

And he was a closet homesexual and she tried to stop him...didn't work, obviously

2:46 pm

MLFAN17

the guy had been trouble for years and no one did anything form what i heard. i also heard yesterday that the guy at the gun or pawn shop said he notified the police about the purchasing of the gun but no record of it

2:46 pm

MLFAN17

yes i heard she did try to stop him

2:51 pm

lilliann

do shop owners and pawn shops always notify the police when guns are bought? probably not.Apparently the FBI might be bringing charges against her.I think thy should as she knew about it and helped him.

2:52 pm

MLFAN17

so far no charges against her that i know of but their should be. i don't know if they notify police or how often, when they do

2:53 pm

MLFAN17

i also thought you had to have a license to own a gun and i don't know if he did or not either

2:53 pm

lilliann

Well, the dodgy ones won't!

2:54 pm

MLFAN17

probably true

2:54 pm

lilliann

Aye, you're suppose to have a licence but that will be law abiding citizens not criminals

2:55 pm

MLFAN17

but even from a shop i thought you still needed a license guess not

2:56 pm

lilliann

or7.or and eat out

2:56 pm

lilliann

Yes from a shop but don't forget that are alot of illegal gun sellers

2:56 pm

MLFAN17
