i just got is9 by doing what in my mind was making a cutesy nickname for is8 and not expecting it to work - in reality i'm sure it has a perfectly non-cutesy meaning

12:28 am

Lizlin

That worked for me, hurshy. Thanks.

Scrabbler

He is adorable Enjoy every moment, even when exhausted, as time flies. My nephews are now 29, 27 (today!), and 23. My grand-nephews are 4 and 2 (yesterday.) Everything zips by.

10:21 am

EvaNadine

i know. each new milestone amazes me. im savoring it all!

10:22 am

Scrabbler

I returned my grandnephews to their mother last evening as the Family Court judge gave her custody again after 6 months. I am grieving now although exhausted and ready to take care of me.

10:23 am

72 Temple Owl

hello everyone.

10:23 am

rururocks

what are the chances she's going to do better this time?

10:24 am

Scrabbler

Hi Owl.

10:25 am

Scrabbler

Ruru, she lost custody because she permitted the boys to witness domestic violence. The boys' father (my nephew) was the perpetrator. The mother did not otherwise neglect or abuse the boys, although she is not an all-star mother.

10:26 am

rururocks

she sounded irresponsible before no?

10:26 am

rururocks

is your nephew in jail?

10:27 am

rururocks

I've never been able to understand how a man could ever hit a woman. it's beyond me

10:28 am

rururocks

anyone have the po 8?

10:29 am

moolingwa

We got about 8-10 inches so far I would guess

10:30 am

rururocks

never mind on the po 8

10:30 am

moolingwa

compound word ruru

10:30 am

rururocks

wow..

10:30 am

rururocks

where are you mool?

10:30 am

moolingwa

colorado

10:30 am

moolingwa

about 45 minutes from Denver

10:30 am

rururocks

we're supposed to get 5-7 inches on the weekend

10:30 am

moolingwa

just finished shovelling

10:31 am

moolingwa

there's the last 9 I was looking for

10:31 am

moolingwa

11 to go

10:32 am

Scrabbler

Not in jail, never physical abuse, but emotional/psychological/financial abuse. He is a narcissistic jerk. He changed about 4-5 yrs ago at age 24.

10:33 am

Deeha

My brother lives in Lyons Mool I will expect an email tonight saying he has snow!!

10:34 am

rururocks

sounds like a real winner scrabbler

10:34 am

72 Temple Owl

how did child services become involved? I could understand if physical abuse.

10:34 am

rururocks

that was my question too TO

10:35 am

72 Temple Owl

never mind, scrabs, not really my business. i am sitting here coughing and waiting for my doctor's appointment. I feel awful.

10:36 am

moolingwa

Oh, I'm in Longmont Deeha, about 15 minutes from Lyons

10:38 am

Scrabbler

Because the boys were exposed to domestic violence and dad had 3 safes of guns, threatened to kill himself, his parents, and the mother of the boys. (The boys' parents had been long separated.)

10:39 am

rururocks

I hope she has a serious restraining order against him.. that's really scary.. how can someone like that be allowed to keep guns

10:39 am

Deeha

I was talking to our deputy mayor a few weeks ago and she'd just go back from staying with relatives in Longmont

10:39 am

Scrabbler

Ruru, I do not like who he has become AT ALL. It is so sad because I loved him as a little boy and to see him transform into a narcissistic idiot makes me so sad.

10:40 am

Scrabbler

With an order of protection he can no longer have firearms.

10:40 am

moolingwa

it's a growing place, Boulder has become too expensive, while Longmont is still relatively affordable and has easy access to the airport, Boulder, Denver and the mountains

10:40 am

moolingwa

happy I moved here

10:40 am

rururocks

oh that's a relief

10:40 am

moolingwa

It's only about 45 minutes drive to Estes Park too...though probably a lot slower today :)

10:40 am

Scrabbler

As long as the order of protection is in place he cannot have firearms.

10:41 am

rururocks

where's all his anger coming from then.. Narcissism isn't the total cause of that?

10:41 am

Scrabbler

Nice, moolingwa.

10:41 am

moolingwa

10 to go

10:41 am

SamanthaJoy

Fiiiiiiinaaaalllllyyyyyy NBT.

10:42 am

Deeha

My brothjer became a US citizen in 1958. His wife came from the area. He reckons God created Colorado first and used up all his best ideas before he moved on for the rest of the world!!

10:42 am

mirandapan

It's Kay, the Colorado lurker...I'm in the mountains above Boulder, and we have about 14" Hi, Colorado and all others...Very close to Longmont and Lyons.

10:42 am

moolingwa

heh

10:43 am

SamanthaJoy

I have eight of the 9 sevens and the last one is making me crazy.

CO, DO, HO, IS, PH, STx2, TO -- can anyone give me the stats for what I'm missing?

10:43 am

moolingwa

It's beautiful country for sure

10:43 am

moolingwa

Still not a citizen myself...but considering it

10:43 am

moolingwa

been here for 21 years

10:43 am

Scrabbler

Anger towards his parents for not being what he wanted them to be--both are mentally ill and father is an alcoholic. Narcissists are actually insecure. And angry at himself for 2 unplanned pregnancies with an uneducated girl. Duh, use condoms. Choose a good partner. Date someone for a long time before you have kids. Stop blaming others....

10:44 am

Scrabbler

Hi Kay--I haven't seen you n ages.

10:44 am

Deeha

Lyons must have one of the best patchworks shops anywhere!!I go in there every three years or so and they remember me!!

10:45 am

moolingwa

yeah, it's a cute town

10:45 am

mirandapan

Hi, Scrabbler! It's been a while. We lost everything in the 2013 flood. It's taken a while for recovery, but I've been on--just lurking.

10:45 am

moolingwa

9 to go

10:46 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, mirandapan!

10:46 am

Scrabbler

Go moolingwa, go!

10:46 am

moolingwa

you're in CO too then?

10:46 am

mirandapan

In the mountains above Boulder, Moo--Fourmile Canyon

10:47 am

moolingwa

ah cool, yeah we looked around in the mountains, but with a 5 year old, felt it was more practical to live on the plains

10:47 am

moolingwa

So in Longmont now

10:47 am

Deeha

My brother has a cabin in Eldora he loves the mountains

10:48 am

rururocks

I like Aspen a lot

10:48 am

mirandapan

Love Eldora--and the skiing is going to be great there after this storm...

10:48 am

Scrabbler

Here in New York state the Adirondack Mountains are my/our paradise.

10:48 am

Deeha

My brother woke up the day after the flood and only he and one other woman were left in town. No-one told him they were all moving out in the night!!

10:49 am

moolingwa

yikes, scary stuff

10:49 am

aebmusica

le5/14?

10:49 am

mirandapan

Yikes! We actually had a very dramatic rescue--zipline over raging water. Rescue workers are amazing folks.

10:50 am

Deeha

Brother is 89 he still does s everal miles walk every day must be the air!

10:50 am

moolingwa

Colorado is a very active place :)

10:50 am

Aloyisius

10:51 am

moolingwa

10:51 am

moolingwa

10:52 am

72 Temple Owl

10:52 am

moolingwa

8 to go...1st, 2nd and 5th columns complete

10:52 am

rururocks

oh.. aloy.. that sounds awful

10:52 am

Deeha

He told us a funny story. After the water had gone down he was in the front garden and two JW's stopped and asked him if there was anything they could do to herlp. He said yes, you can clear our my freezer. He said when they opened the door they went white from the smell but give them their due they did the job!!

10:52 am

aebmusica

My gosh what a weird word! Ty mool

10:52 am

rururocks

we can start calling you Frodo then :D

10:53 am

Aloyisius

trying to forgive myself, ru.. lol,
f

10:53 am

moolingwa

you're welcome aeb

10:53 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, Aloy! Is a hand surgeon taking care of you?

10:53 am

Aloyisius

Frodo too?

10:53 am

SamanthaJoy

Deeha, what's a JW?

10:53 am

rururocks

*note to self.. buy Aloy..a Lord of the Rings gold ring*

10:54 am

moolingwa

Or one of those big foam hands with the finger pointing up?

10:54 am

Deeha

Jehovah's Witness

10:54 am

Aloyisius

a plastic surgeon

10:54 am

SamanthaJoy

Ah. Thanks. *fish*

10:55 am

Aloyisius

yup, I'm always pointing

10:55 am

72 Temple Owl

scrabs, what is good for temporary relief of hacking cough?

10:55 am

moolingwa

Plus the foam will offer some protection from future door closing incidents

10:55 am

moolingwa

Steam TO

10:56 am

moolingwa

Also tea with honey, but you have to keep drinking it :)

10:56 am

Aloyisius

like the foam finger idea !

10:56 am

moolingwa

Well gotta go, have a conference call I need to run

10:56 am

moolingwa

be back later for the last 8

10:56 am

Scrabbler

Spoonfuls of honey and VicksVapo Rub on bottoms of feet. Otherwise remember that the cough is there as a way to protect the airway, to clear mucous, and will improve when the illness resolves.

10:58 am

Scrabbler

And stay away from irritants--cigarette smoke, perfumes, fireplace smoke, etc.

10:58 am

72 Temple Owl

i just bought honey, i will try it ty. thought it was a head cold but it is progressing, feeling worse each day

10:59 am

72 Temple Owl

and fever

10:59 am

Scrabbler

The common cold will last 10-14 days and the first week is misery.

10:59 am

72 Temple Owl

i guess i am not used to getting them, it is so rare. now i feel like a baby for going to the doctor.

72 Temple Owl

why is pothos not accepted?

11:06 am

Scrabbler

I think pathos is a word.

11:06 am

72 Temple Owl

it is. pothos is a plant, yellow green variegated leaves, vining habit

11:06 am

11:55 am

cybernan

just found the po 8 -- guess Canada is going to be one great big one -- not too happy about that

11:56 am

moolingwa

Well I have to say, legalization here in Colorado has had little to no effect for the majority of people

11:56 am

cybernan

hope that will prove true here as well mool

11:57 am

moolingwa

I would dare say that alcohol has a much greater impact on society that marijuana

11:57 am

moolingwa

And I am definitely not for making alcohol illegal :)

11:57 am

bichon

nan, could you please clue the po 8?

11:57 am

cybernan

but as BC is already well known in the northwest for it's bud...

11:57 am

moolingwa

I thought we were clueing it :)

11:57 am

bichon

nm, ty, got it

11:58 am

moolingwa

7 to go

11:58 am

moolingwa

6 to go

11:58 am

cybernan

can't see that bud and alcohol are on a par -- booze doesn't lead to taking stronger and stronger drugs like mj.

11:59 am

moolingwa

Well...I have to disagree with that asssertion

11:59 am

cybernan

and we have a big enough problem with drugs laced with fentanol

11:59 am

moolingwa

While I don't use it now, I have in the past

12:00 pm

moolingwa

I was also around dealers, both of pot and things much more stronger

12:00 pm

moolingwa

I found that people who used pot were typically using it for different reasons than those who used harder drugs

12:00 pm

cybernan

we'll have to agree to disagree

12:00 pm

bichon

But over use of alcohol can mae you very sick

12:01 pm

moolingwa

Alcohol can also make you violent

12:01 pm

cybernan

so can drugs

12:01 pm

moolingwa

Is a significant contributor to automobile related accidents

12:01 pm

moolingwa

Some drugs yes, but not marijuana

12:02 pm

bichon

It can destroy your liver

12:02 pm

cybernan

drugs also do all those things -- and marijuana does impair driving and cognitive ability

12:02 pm

moolingwa

There are some challenges with marijuana legalization

12:03 pm

cybernan

and marijuana can destroy young people's minds

12:03 pm

moolingwa

Primarily, there's no good way to detect whether it has an active effect

12:04 pm

cybernan

it has recently been proven to impair brain development in people under age 25, mool.

12:04 pm

moolingwa

Well again, I grew up surrounded by pot users, and know many of them today...can't say I saw a lot of destroyed minds there :)

12:05 pm

bichon

I don't think it's the pot, but the lifestyle of someone who has to use it everyday

12:05 pm

cybernan

All you have to do is wander the streets in the seedier parts of town. As a responsible taxpayer, I resent having to support people who have fried their brains on drugs (or alcohol for that matter)

12:06 pm

moolingwa

There are indications that heavy use does in fact impact IQ

12:06 pm

moolingwa

Alcohol can also impact the developing brain

12:06 pm

moolingwa

There's also some research that suggest caffeine can also have an impact

12:07 pm

moolingwa

Salt and sugar have strong links to heart disease

12:07 pm

bichon

That's where I draw the line. Need my caffeine

12:07 pm

moolingwa

And I might point out that heart disease is one of the top if not top killer in most developed countries

12:08 pm

cybernan

All I know is that safe injection sites and antidote kits for fentanol that our health agencies are handing out are costing our governments (ie taxpayers) a small fortune.

12:08 pm

moolingwa

But you're equating fentanol with marijuana

12:09 pm

cybernan

no - I'm saying that marijuana users have a greater tendency to move on to stronger drugs.

12:10 pm

moolingwa

There's also some studies that show a link between alcohol abuse leading to marijuana use

12:10 pm

moolingwa

or to nicotine abuse (to use another drug)

12:10 pm

cybernan

I have no problem with moderate use of marijuana and I believe that for certain medical conditions, such as epilepsy, it can be beneficial

12:11 pm

moolingwa

The US government has a good short article on these issues...

12:11 pm

cybernan

but I believe it should be sold only by prescription or the very least at liquor stores where ID is regularly checked and over to those over age 25

12:12 pm

moolingwa

https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications\n/research-reports/marijuana/marijuana-\ngateway-drug

12:12 pm

moolingwa

In colorado they have something akin to liquor stores

12:13 pm

moolingwa

It's 21 years here...

12:14 pm

moolingwa

While we're at it, we should probably change the age of enlistment. Can't imagine there's many 18 year olds who truly understand the commitment they're making :)

12:14 pm

cybernan

mool - my point is, that I don't think users should be allowed to grow and sell it. Hard liquor up here is sold ony in government controlled stores - if marijuana is legalized, I think it should be the same.

12:16 pm

cybernan

I watched one of our neighbour's sons who had been a friend of my sons go from a straight A high school student to a high school dropout in the space of 2 years after being introduced to marijuana.

12:25 pm

moolingwa

So why didn't your son take it up?

12:26 pm

moolingwa

Ultimately I think that marijuana is blamed for other issues in many cases

12:27 pm

moolingwa

The government ends up spending a lot of money to "protect" society, and the cost of that protection vastly outweighs the cost of the problem

12:27 pm

cybernan

He probably did try it, but both were elite atheletes and they knew they would be thrown off the track team in a heartbeat if their coach knew they used drugs or alcohol

12:28 pm

moolingwa

I had opportunities throughout my teens to try it, but didn't decide to until I was around 22

12:31 pm

cybernan

none of our children ever smoked anything, and certainly didn't drink while they were still in school. Track was too important to them, and we were fortunate in having a coach who was strongly against performance enhancing drugs long before it became an issue at the olympics.

12:31 pm

Scrabbler

The marijuana of today is much more potent than the MJ of the 60's and 70's. And I have never tried it ever.

12:32 pm

cybernan

I had read that somewhere, Scrabs

12:35 pm

moolingwa

I've tried some pretty potent stuff, but wasn't to my liking

5:58 pm

m9f9l

MollyL

I wouldn't say 2000 is ancient

6:02 pm

i haven't paid much attention to popular music since the mid 80's...

6:02 pm

penquis

Regardless, I didn't get the clue either.

Okay, it seems it's been around a lot longer than that.

6:03 pm

6:04 pm

Yup. Exactly Molly.

6:07 pm

MollyL

Also, most of the crew I run with are musicians who keep in touch with what is getting air play

6:07 pm

sukee

I keep up with new music, I have spotify and check out new releases sometimes.

6:07 pm

MollyL

Sometimes you just need to put it out there and get on to the next round of clue requests.

6:08 pm

lil*monkey

The song by Baja Men is WHO let the dogs out.

6:08 pm

m9f9l

we listen to all SORTS of stuff here. Lots of classic R&R, musicals, songs from shows, cartoons, youtubers, technopop, kpop, mandopop...

6:08 pm

sukee

That song is going to be going through my head tonight...

6:08 pm

penquis

i do not....the closest i get is like what a friend gave me for Christmas....the latest bluesy CD from the Rolling Stones... ;o)

6:09 pm

m9f9l

Yes, monkey.. it was a "sounds like"

6:09 pm

sukee

Also, I often discover someone on the Grammys

6:09 pm

penquis

yes, lil....we did figure that out eventually....

6:10 pm

sukee

I've been big on listening to Broadway show tunes lately. Hamilton, Waitress, Something Rotten, etc.

6:10 pm

penquis

i do have some CDs from after the 80s but i don't regularly listen to current music...

6:10 pm

m9f9l

Right now I'm listening to a lot of 50's 60's music, trying to figure out what we're doing next at the senior center.

6:10 pm

MollyL

It is hard to relate a sounds like with "who" and "hua"

6:11 pm

sukee

Now I have 10 left

6:11 pm

penquis

on my cousin road trip to Canada, we listed to Roy Orbison, Everly Brothers, Chad and Jeremy, Rufus Wainright, and one other that i cannot recall....

6:11 pm

m9f9l

Me neither pen. Although I really like the lastest Brandon Flowers album and listen to the songs on Youtube. I go through phases.

6:11 pm

m9f9l

no.. the sounds like was just the Hu. and then a vowel.

6:12 pm

penquis

i did hear a story about him on NPR and i liked his music...

6:12 pm

sukee

Hu's on first.

6:13 pm

MollyL

whaut's on second

6:13 pm

m9f9l

He has a couple of youtube videos where it's just him singing outside with a young man playing the guitar. Very nice. It's nice to just hear a voice singing simply.

6:14 pm

sukee

Be back in a bit, have to empty the cat box... 2 cats is so much more than 1 was :)

6:14 pm

penquis

agreed....i saw someone called Seth Glier in concert a year or so ago.....had just a sax player with him and he was great....

6:16 pm

m9f9l

we have to cat boxes..one for each cat. :-)

6:17 pm

m9f9l

two. two cat boxes.

6:18 pm

sukee

I only have room for one :)

6:19 pm

m9f9l

http://tinyurl.com/jzw7cuh Wish I could sit around a campfire with these two.. :-)

6:25 pm

penquis

nice, thanks...

6:26 pm

m9f9l

and one more: http://tinyurl.com/j7jx2k4

6:28 pm

MollyL

Litter boxes gross me out.

6:28 pm

m9f9l

Since you like the older stuff, any suggestions for what to sing for the folks at the home? I'm thinking it would be fun to do Johnny Get Angry LOL

6:28 pm

sukee

Oh well, they are necessary :)

6:29 pm

m9f9l

My daughter takes care of the boxes at our house :-D

6:29 pm

penquis

um....i have no idea what Johnny Get Angry is....

6:30 pm

sukee

I find since I clean it every day it is not too bad. They are smaller than my last cat so it sort of evens it out a little, still a bit more work.

6:30 pm

sukee

Shelly Fabares sang it.

6:31 pm

penquis

was that the title?

6:31 pm

m9f9l

Ugh.. I do not like her version!

6:31 pm

sukee

or Joannie Sommers

6:31 pm

m9f9l

1962 Joanie Sommers version. And it has kazoos!

6:32 pm

sukee

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI_nk0\nL-cF4

6:32 pm

MollyL

Wow, that is a really bad song. Are you trying to get the seniors angry?

6:32 pm

m9f9l

It's a terrible, terrible song!

6:32 pm

penquis

i looked it up....The worst songs in the world... ever!: "Johnny Get Angry" by Joanie ...
worstsongsintheworldever.blogspot.\ncom/

6:32 pm

m9f9l

And it always cracks me up, 'cause it's SO bad.

6:32 pm

sukee

Well, not exactly a classic :)

6:33 pm

penquis

i would think you would want songs that people can sing along?

6:33 pm

m9f9l

Yeah. Not really. LOL

6:34 pm

sukee

Now it's time for cat wrestling, who will win tonight?

6:34 pm

sukee

How about some Monkee's songs? :)

6:35 pm

m9f9l

But these seniors have quite a sense of humor. We had a blast with them on Christmas Eve. Sang for about a 1/2 hour on the memory care ward..just classics, and then an hour over in main residential area.

6:35 pm

m9f9l

Oh.. the Monkee's! Hmm... I'll think about that!

6:35 pm

sukee

Found my last 7 letter word

6:37 pm

lil*monkey

I work in a facility for seniors, and they like old Motown songs.

6:38 pm

penquis

some of those are good....also, (gag!) things like Roses are Red....perhaps Pretty Woman (fun to sing the arrrrggggghhh)....

6:38 pm

penquis

Supremes....

6:38 pm

penquis

My Guy....

6:38 pm

sukee

I donated some old CD to our local seniors center, mostly 60s including the Monkees :)

6:38 pm

m9f9l

GOod to know monkey!! Yes! Thought of that one pen!

6:38 pm

penquis

nice...

6:38 pm

lil*monkey

Supremes "Baby Love", Jackson 5 "ABC", etc.

6:39 pm

sukee

I know I love to sing along with Motown :)

6:39 pm

m9f9l

They loved Hippopotamus for Christmas

6:39 pm

penquis

some Beatles might be good, too....

6:39 pm

lil*monkey

We have a deejay come in once a month, and the seniors are most excited when the deejay plays the different songs for line dancing.

6:39 pm

m9f9l

And they particularly liked when Steph and I did harmonies. So I'm thinking mamas and papas.. peter paul and mary ..

6:39 pm

lil*monkey

LIke Electric Slide, Wobble, and the Cupid Shuffle

6:40 pm

m9f9l

Oh and Elvis. I did Blue Christmas :-)

6:40 pm

lil*monkey

Also the WHip , Nay nay song

6:40 pm

penquis

good idea, m9....

6:40 pm

m9f9l

They said they really appreciated that we didn't do the "usual" whatever the usual is...?

6:40 pm

penquis

songs that have good choruses would be good for a sing along...

6:41 pm

m9f9l

And the only request they came up with was "mary did you know" so they're up on the new stuff too! We didn't "know" it... but Steph pulled up the lyrics on her smart phone. She can play ANY thing on the piano!!

6:41 pm

penquis

60s songs should produce a lot of "oh, i remember that..."

6:41 pm

sukee

There is always Sweet Caroline...

6:41 pm

m9f9l

Neil Diamond!! YES!!

6:42 pm

m9f9l

Do you know what he wanted originally as his stage name??? :-O

6:43 pm

sukee

No

6:43 pm

sukee

How about some Lesley Gore songs?

6:44 pm

sukee

Can I have a clue for the CO 6/27? I have tried everything.

6:44 pm

penquis

6:45 pm

6:45 pm

TY, jeez, I had the other one

6:45 pm

penquis

yw...

6:45 pm

m9f9l

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to ...and .... now it's Judy's turn to cry!

6:45 pm

sukee

Yes, but there is also Sunshine and Lollipops...

6:45 pm

ch1212

well, you would cry too if it happened to you!

6:46 pm

penquis

true.....

6:46 pm

penquis

hah!

6:46 pm

m9f9l

So.. Neil Diamond is is real name. But he considered.. Noah Kaminsky, and Ice Charry!! For real!

6:46 pm

penquis

ewwww....

6:46 pm

sukee

I find it so funny that that song is about John and Judy and was recorded around the time JFK was having an affair with Judith Exner :)

6:47 pm

sukee

Ice Charry? Thank goodness someone talked him out of it.

6:47 pm

penquis

there is also the Beach Boys....

6:47 pm

m9f9l

Unchained melody? Or You've lost that loving feeling?

6:47 pm

sukee

Yes, Beach Boys are always good

6:47 pm

m9f9l

I sang God Only Knows at the funeral for my friend's mother.

Hi Bugs!!

8:07 pm

Bugsaw

hi origami. sorry, godthaab, no idea yet

8:07 pm

Pothos?

8:07 pm

godthaab

Very Excellent! You win a bag of fertilizer!

8:08 pm

origami

TY! I always need more :-)

8:08 pm

godthaab

You can never have too much fertilizer, I say.

8:08 pm

Bugsaw

never heard of it

8:10 pm

godthaab

It is a pretty common houseplant. Very sturdy - lasts for years with relatively little care

8:10 pm

Bugsaw

bet I could kill it.

8:10 pm

godthaab

hahahaha

8:10 pm

origami

I'm sure you've seen them. they are very common and used to be considered a type of philodendron. They will grow in a jar of water. I've had some in water that I haven't fed in years

8:12 pm

Bugsaw

yes, I just looked and I think I had some in the 70's. I went through a phase of trying to decorate with plants because I didn't have enough money for furniture. I have outgrown that mess.

8:13 pm

origami

I am fond of plants that thrive on neglect -)

8:15 pm

Bugsaw

I am still good on neglect but this house doesn't face the right way to catch the sun.

8:16 pm

origami

Mine is cave-like (which is good because the summer is soooo hot here), and pothos are the only plants that will thrive inside.

8:29 pm

Minveryork

Hello origami!How are U? How many words do U have left?

8:29 pm

Haven't listed, but maybe what a librarian says to noisy patrons bugs

8:29 pm

Minveryork

8:29 pm

Besides all the turmoil in my life, I am taking it day by day

8:34 pm

origami

Sorry about the turmoil. Taking it as it comes is all we can do sometimes.

8:34 pm

Bugsaw

your story seems to have covered it all (except the sh word I can't find for love nor money). Don't worry about spending money that will benefit him. He may only get half of what it was worth before the improvements.

8:35 pm

Bugsaw

Oh, I found it! thanks

8:43 pm

origami

Thanks for the story Min.

8:43 pm

I knew you were doing a lot of home improvements, but didn't know why. Sorry you are going through this difficult time.

8:47 pm

My old black-and-tan coonhound is acting particularly needy so I am going out in the cold to play with both of them. back in a bit.

8:48 pm

Minveryork

Know it will be worth it in the end which seems like an eternity right now. I know that I'm not the only person to go through divorce, so do not want to harp on it too much. Got to remind myself to not feel sorry for myself

8:49 pm

Minveryork

I put myself into th 4/5 situation so I am partly responsible

8:50 pm

Bugsaw

I put all my anger into repairing the house. With each room that was done, I was that much closer to my goal.
