Hello, Sprite! How are you And your family keeping?

3:14 am

zoozzoom

Not sure why 'and' had a capital letter lol

3:14 am

sprite

*hugs zooz* Hello dear man. Pretty good. We just came home yesterday from bringing Tim to Scotland and installing him in his dormroom.

3:15 am

zoozzoom

Oh wow Hope he will enjoy Scotland! It has many beautiful places!

3:15 am

sprite

how are you and your parents doing?

3:16 am

sprite

it is incredibly beautiful there. And the campus is HUGE!

3:18 am

zoozzoom

Urgh well I willmnot go into too much detail as it drags on a bit but basically dad was rushed to hospital with severe chest pains a couple of days a ago and after lots of tests it was gall stones (huge ones) so he is home now and we are doing what ever is needed with all the other medical things going on with mother and dad. Getting old is a rudy nightmare!

3:19 am

zoozzoom

Yes I bet it is, sprite! I am sure he will love it!

3:19 am

zoozzoom

*ruddy

3:19 am

sprite

aw your poor dad, that seems to be so very painful. Sorry for all the medical upheaval, not easy to navigate!

3:20 am

rubyfoo

((zzoozz)) you are a wonderful son!!

3:20 am

rubyfoo

lased

3:20 am

zoozzoom

No it is not easy at all especially with two very stubborn parents lol

3:20 am

rubyfoo

sorry

3:20 am

zoozzoom

Hello ((Ruby))

3:21 am

sprite

your mother was already not feeling too great, must be hard on her too. Glad they have you to help them through this.

3:22 am

zoozzoom

Mother is not well at all bless her and she was going out of her tree over this. But has clamed down again now bless her.

3:22 am

zoozzoom

How long did the trip to Scotland take for you, Sprite.

3:22 am

sprite

aging is not for the timid, as Haz once said here :)

3:23 am

zoozzoom

How is the weather, Ruby? We had a beautiful warm day yesterday but is is set to cool down a lot now.

3:23 am

zoozzoom

And she is a wise lady and correct.

3:24 am

sprite

we went by boat, car on the boat, then by car from newcastle to Edinburgh. Half hour drive here, 15 hours on the boat, 2.5 hours drive there. Then the next day in reverse.

3:24 am

zoozzoom

Not too bad then. hope the food on the boat was edible. Can be pricy though.

3:25 am

rubyfoo

lt's cold in the mornings, but perfect in the afternoons. There are still green tomatoes which ned a little more sunshine

3:26 am

rubyfoo

tots

3:26 am

rubyfoo

ons

3:26 am

rubyfoo

gone!

3:27 am

zoozzoom

Hope they ripen for you, Ruby. getting late though. I bet your tomatoes would be nice with some chees in a sandwich!

3:28 am

sprite

we booked dinner and breakfast along with the tickets, which made for a 35% reduction. Not too bad. It was an expensive undertaking but worth it. He has all his stuff with him there, we helped him get installed, visited the IKEA to buy some storage stuff, and a supermarket to fill his fridge and cupboards. It is great to know where he lives and that he has all he needs. Also so very very grateful we never gave up on him in the years he was being impossible. Much better to have him move out like this, because he is ready and on to new adventures.

3:29 am

zoozzoom

((Sprite)) you both did right by your son & daughter and they will never forget what you are doing for them!

3:30 am

sprite

:D we did our job as parents and it looks like we didn't make a too lousy job of it. We are very proud of both of them.

3:33 am

zoozzoom

When they fly the nest and they are living their lives it always feels so nice when they come back to the fold for special occassions like Christmas etc!

3:35 am

sprite

I bet :D Looks like Tim will be coming home for Xmas this year, not sure if Caya will join us too them. Would be fun to be together as a family for a day or two, for sure.

3:36 am

zoozzoom

When you come fro a large family like me it is much harder for that to happen.

3:37 am

sprite

much harder to organise and get everybody on the same page, no doubt.

3:38 am

zoozzoom

For sure!

3:38 am

zoozzoom

lanosed

3:38 am

zoozzoom

sorry everyone

3:38 am

sprite

but I have to say, even to get all of us together is not always easy. The children have other people to visit and spend time with when they come back here, friends and family. But I will suggest a common meal at least, with Tim, Caya and Lisa. Should be doable. We do not mind if it is not on Xmas day.

3:39 am

sprite

darn it, zooz, you made me try that for nothing!

3:39 am

sprite

:D

3:39 am

zoozzoom

I know sorry was trying to PT the word lol

3:39 am

sprite

*giggles*

3:40 am

sprite

very good babble habit, pt-ing everything

3:41 am

zoozzoom

Yes we are happy with just a Christmas meal and catch up and then everyone can go back to their lives LOL Plus that is enough for my parents as they are knackered after an hour or so bless them.

3:41 am

sprite

I can imagine

3:42 am

zoozzoom

As babble accept a lot of peoples names I jut had to try the name Alfie lol

3:43 am

sprite

another good babble habit. Basically, try everything no matter how silly it seems. Chances are, it may take.

3:43 am

zoozzoom

Sorry for all the typos.

3:43 am

sprite

you make perfect sense, no worries

3:43 am

zoozzoom

Oh I do near the end I try combos that are so silly but you never know haha!

3:45 am

sprite

ikr? I always think it is a very good thing nobody keeps count of the invalid and crazy words I try

3:45 am

zoozzoom

No, Rose today I see.

3:45 am

zoozzoom

Or the amount of hours we have spent doing these grids!

3:46 am

sprite

I hope she is just busy and all right. Am awaiting an email reply from her, it is not at all like her not to be in touch. Especially with things like Tim's moving out going on. She might be doing a bit too much now that she is feeling better :)

3:47 am

sprite

yeah, true, that. However, I prefer to label those hours as brain gymnastics and keeping in touch with dear friends :)

3:48 am

zoozzoom

Yes you know rose can not sit still if she can help it bless her. Probably running around the church organizing.

3:48 am

zoozzoom

Brain gymnastics LOL I like that!

3:48 am

sprite

yeah :) They are so lucky to have her to do all those church things. She is amazing.

3:50 am

sprite

toenail is a phantom and footnail is not valid. Jeezzzz.

3:50 am

zoozzoom

I love it when I start a new tile and find lots of words. Not so good when I start slowing down struggling before I start on the next tile mind lol

3:51 am

sprite

I admire you for working so organised. I am allover the place.

3:51 am

zoozzoom

Ha! I am on the L next to the F so no doubt will come across those in a minute or two haha!

4:05 am

zoozzoom

Seedfood- for people who only eats seeds :-)

4:06 am

sprite

lol! Adding it

4:06 am

zoozzoom

No do not , Sprite it is not in the grid Damn.

4:07 am

zoozzoom

Maybe next time.

4:07 am

sprite

we will pretend it is, lol. Brb, nature calls

4:08 am

zoozzoom

How about...Footneedy- for those who have a foot fetish LOL

4:18 am

zoozzoom

Well I have three of the 8s!

4:29 am

4:31 am

zoozzoom

4:32 am

sprite

4:40 am

sprite

4:40 am

zoozzoom

Okay I will have to go. Still have 71 words to find. Nice to catch up with you Sprite. Have a great day! Hope you have a great day, Ruby!

5:29 am

Uneaixoise

Glad she enjoyed!

5:46 am

rubyfoo

l've never been to Nashville but l'm sure l'd love the food!

5:46 am

Sam Snead

yes indeâ€¦!

5:46 am

rubyfoo

(life momentarily intervened)

5:46 am

rubyfoo

hello une and sam

5:48 am

Sam Snead

hi there from Cardiff..

5:48 am

rubyfoo

l only found one poopy word for the M; the others elude me

5:50 am

doseffing

... alcoholic honey drink

5:51 am

rubyfoo

Hello dose, l thought it had an A in it

5:52 am

rubyfoo

These days my cocktail of choice is oxy and tonic!

5:52 am

doseffing

... it does ... but someone else came up with a word that uses two "e" but who knows (or really cares) what it means

5:53 am

doseffing

... I've simply got some antibiotic with a name that is too long to pronounce or remember and beer

5:53 am

rubyfoo

exactly!

5:54 am

rubyfoo

Sam, l bet you have great food in Cardiff, lamb and seafood

5:54 am

doseffing

... oh yeah ... forget to mention the flattopped hill usually seen in the desert of the American west

5:54 am

rubyfoo

This part of France has terrible food

5:55 am

rubyfoo

ty dose

5:55 am

rubyfoo

or the subatomic particle

5:55 am

doseffing

... just put some sauce on it ... the french are always doing that

5:57 am

rubyfoo

In the Haute Savoie the food is very bland and too many sauces have cheese; l've lost some weight again and m struggling to regain it

5:58 am

doseffing

... chocolate .... chocolate anything

5:58 am

rubyfoo

<-- doesn't like chocolate

5:59 am

rubyfoo

l can't afford to lo** weight again, especially with winter coming

5:59 am

doseffing

... also ... while meals are good ... ... I suggest "grazing" ... always have the carrot sticks ... the cheese and crackers ... a bit of pate at hand

5:59 am

doseffing

... how does the kid from the candy store not like chocolate? ...

6:00 am

rubyfoo

l like the junky milk chocolate like Milky Way and Three Mus,keteers

6:01 am

rubyfoo

How do you remember stuff like that? l'm happy if l can remember how old l am

6:02 am

doseffing

... I don't know if you can get them ... but have a package of the little milky ways in the fridge or even the freezer ... ... the package where you get about 10 little ones for 2$

6:03 am

doseffing

... I haven't the foggiest idea how old I am without stopping to think about it ... and I don't like doing that

6:05 am

rubyfoo

A friend does my grocery shopping, so if it's not on the list, she gets the same things each time, but tries to find fattening foods -- today she found cassoulet and baked beans and confit du canard

6:06 am

rubyfoo

l know how old my cancer is, 30 years!

6:07 am

rubyfoo

So l guess l'm llucky

6:07 am

doseffing

... I'm a mere youngster ... first one was '96 ... first big one was '05

6:08 am

rubyfoo

'88 for me, then long pause, then 2 1/2 years ago

6:09 am

rubyfoo

The chemo is reducing some of the soft-tissue spread but the bone tumors are here to stay!

6:11 am

doseffing

... unfortunate ... but my dad did that for 10 years ... so you've got at least two ... maybe three more presidential elections in France (and maybe even the US too) to think about

6:13 am

rubyfoo

l'm hoping that Nov brings some radical change to the US gov't and that the fat orange idiot stops poking at Canada. My sister (in NY) and l both hurl invectives at the TV

6:14 am

bichon

sounds like our house

6:15 am

rubyfoo

Bonjour, Bichon

6:15 am

doseffing

... quai

6:15 am

doseffing

... oops

6:16 am

bichon

ty dose

6:16 am

rubyfoo

ty, that was my missing Q

6:16 am

doseffing

... don't forget to add a consonant to get a bird and then a plural

6:18 am

rubyfoo

l had those but missed yours but the one with the consonant gives me an idea for weekend food; l could get a couple at the butcher shop and roast them w ith quince jam

6:19 am

bichon

phantom enemy

6:19 am

rubyfoo

l put quince jam and/or chutney on everything

6:20 am

doseffing

... no quince in the grid ... luck finding it in the store ... though probably easier there than here

6:20 am

bichon

good way to start the day ruby

6:22 am

rubyfoo

Among the various fruit trees l had planted when l started the garden, there is a quince which has lovely rose-like flowers in spring but the Jelly is too hard to make

6:24 am

bichon

I have quincce trees, but the birds eat the fruit

6:25 am

rubyfoo

l was very energetic 20 years ago but didn't know much about gardens. Probably haalf of what was first planted din't survive (lupines, hollyhocks, delphiums, peach and &pricot trees) but other plants have spread and l've learned a lot

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Hi kids.

6:26 am

rubyfoo

l started with one small holly and now haveone about 20 feet tall and six others throughout the garden, planted by the birds

6:26 am

rubyfoo

Hi scrabss

6:27 am

bichon

Off for a hike in the heat Scrabs?

6:27 am

Scrabbler

Yes, we are going to Rock City State Park today. A 35 minute drive.

6:27 am

rubyfoo

l started with 30+ tulips and, after two years, had about 20

6:28 am

rubyfoo

300+ tulips* people herre dig themup for the winter

6:28 am

Scrabbler

The de4 eat tulips here so I have daffodils.

6:29 am

rubyfoo

no de** here; they've all been eaten

6:33 am

rubyfoo

My son is visiting Rochester and says it's been hot and very humid

6:33 am

Scrabbler

Bye who?

6:34 am

rubyfoo

The French eat the de**, squirrels, wild boar, mountain goats

6:35 am

Scrabbler

Yikes.

6:35 am

rubyfoo

l have enough sn**** in the garden to go into biz

6:36 am

Scrabbler

Ugh. I have slugs.

6:37 am

rubyfoo

Boar is strong, nasty, and sometimes eats roses from gardens without fences

6:37 am

rubyfoo

When l find a slug, l feed it to the fish

6:37 am

rubyfoo

When l find a slug, l feed it to the fish

6:38 am

rubyfoo

They'll eat anything, including pork (one day l ran out of fishfood)

6:39 am

rubyfoo

l found a dead lizard and they fought over it

6:40 am

rubyfoo

some are mÃ¹ore than a foot long and theree ar hundreds aalthougbh we started with 23 "feeders"

6:41 am

Scrabbler

Lizards in France?

6:43 am

rubyfoo

They arebeautiful, golden and protected as endangered, Aguilus Fragilus (sp?), legless lizards

6:44 am

rubyfoo

l love living in the country

6:46 am

Scrabbler

I see that they look like snakes

6:47 am

rubyfoo

Yes, the first time l saw one (IN my studio!), l tthought it was a viper

6:47 am

Scrabbler

Fascinating

6:49 am

rubyfoo

l like most reptiles (not vipers, though); the only creatures that scareme are little worms

6:50 am

Scrabbler

I am not fond of snakes, but they are cool to watch.

6:51 am

rubyfoo

l used to have a pet boa

6:51 am

Scrabbler

I have no desire to touch one or pick one up

6:52 am

rubyfoo

They are warm and dry and the ones l've handled have been really calm in my hands

6:53 am

rubyfoo

Bye, ttime for the Times

6:54 am

doseffing

... a bien tot

6:58 am

Scrabbler

Hi doseffing

6:58 am

Uneaixoise

Can't believe you had a pet boa, Ruby!

7:10 am

jaianniah

I have a question...I was here a long time ago...I have come back, and things are different. I used to post clues, especially in silly stories, which people enjoyed. I was yelled at yesterday for posting unasked for clues. What gives???

7:11 am

Scrabbler

Hi Jai. Nasty folks have become Babblers in the last few years.

7:12 am

Scrabbler

I ignore the meanies. They have their issues.

7:12 am

jaianniah

Fireworks, btw. If you need clues, pls holler....

7:12 am

BzznBea

Babblers dont not want unwanted clues in the chat.

7:13 am

jaianniah

Oh, really??? They told me off in no uncertain terms. I felt that they could choose to ignore my posts. But some people appreciate a bit of help....Jeez.

7:14 am

Scrabbler

That is THEIR problem, Jai. Clues should be appreciated.

7:14 am

jaianniah

The E's were hard yesterday, so I posted clues to them kaboom....

7:15 am

Scrabbler

Ungrateful folks

7:15 am

BzznBea

I was here during that conversation. They asked you not to post clues in the chat and you did anyway. If they had ignored your clues, you would have continued. You have been asked many times not to post the clues in the chat.

7:15 am

jaianniah

TY for your reinforcement. I felt like quitting all over again. I have told my husband that you people are the best. Yesterday wasn't so good....

7:16 am

Scrabbler

The chat can be ignored if people just want to search.

7:16 am

BzznBea

It is okay to clue when asked. But you clue all the words.

7:16 am

jaianniah

Excuse me, buzz, but this is a free place.

7:17 am

BzznBea

It is. Just know if you continue to clue like you do, people will be mad.

7:17 am

jaianniah

I do not. I only clue when I notice that people are struggling. It is easy to overlook these posts.

7:18 am

jaianniah

I would like to hear from people who like this. Especially the silly stories....

7:18 am

BzznBea

Yesterday you clued all the E's in one post. Those clues were not asked for.

7:19 am

Scrabbler

Minveryork posts paragraphs with many clues. Sometimes I read those, sometimes I don't.

7:20 am

72 Temple Owl

min posts at the end of the day.

7:20 am

Scrabbler

I appreciate generosity with clear, concise clues. And now I must get ready to hike.

7:20 am

Wolvie

wow- regulators abound. this is why i don't chat much anymore and don't play everyday. cripes. Do what you want Jai. folks don't have to read it. sigh.

7:20 am

jaianniah

Well I was hear way back when, and nobody ever scolded me like this.People enjoyed my little stories and crazy poems. I am sorry, but there is no official rule about this. I guess we will have to just agree to disagree,

7:21 am

72 Temple Owl

no rules, but. ;ike very society, there are conventions.

7:21 am

jaianniah

Thanks, wolvie. Thanks for the support. Need a clue, haha....

7:22 am

Wolvie

lol Jai- i just started so no, but ty. but if you make up a ditty i will most likely read it :-)

7:22 am

Wolvie

welded

7:23 am

Wolvie

oops lol- wrong box- my bad

7:23 am

jaianniah

There was also my Virtual Hot Tub on Friday night before the flip....very funny times. We all crawled in with our drinks and were totally silly.

7:23 am

jaianniah

Wolvie, I will see. A poem, perhaps..

7:24 am

Wolvie

actually i am going to walk my dog before it gets totally miserable here- then hibernate inside the rest of the day- bb in a bit

7:24 am

Wolvie

:-) okay jai

7:28 am

Hurricane coming for the Gulf. Biloxi, it looks like. :(

7:29 am

jaianniah

Even tho I don't live there anymore, I have friends and family there still....

7:52 am

Sam

On clues. If one person asks for a clue, and nobody else wants it, they don't have to read it. If people are afraid of clues, they can hide the chog. When someone says or writes something you find offensive, it's your problem, not theirs. This age of censorship, in which everyone is a censor, has got to burn itself out, or we are doomed.

7:56 am

Aloyisius

Just noticed - Lickety has 265 words listed.. so, wa7 must be the extra one.

7:57 am

Judi

Good morning, all!

7:58 am

origami

Hi Judi

7:59 am

Aloyisius

Hi Judi, and bye all.. time to check out. Happy Babbling!

8:00 am

rururocks

Sam... you donâ€™t see a difference from asking for a clue for a word and posting 10 of them unsolicited in the chat?

8:03 am

Sam

Yes, there's a difference, but I have no right to censor someone else in the chat, nor does anyone. If the chat disturbs you, turn it off. If you're chatting, you're not babbling, so if you're so serious about the puzzle, focus on that. It's really easy, btw, to NOT read a lengthy paragraph peppered with clues.

8:05 am

rururocks

Then that is more or less the same as just posting the words in the chat. Like who cares?

8:08 am

phaeton

There doesn't seem to be any official rules. I guess we should just consider others requests or not.

8:08 am

72 Temple Owl

that's been done.

8:10 am

origami

Min sometimes posts stories with clues. But that is in her profile so you can go and look at it if you like.

8:12 am

rururocks

Min generally does that late in the day though

8:12 am

origami

And you have the option of checking it out or not.

8:13 am

Judi

I much prefer puns to clues. Verbal strife gives me the blues.

I am happy with clues or no clues. I was glad to meet Jai, I like her. I'd like to send Ru a book, but have no email--rasta doesn't have it. I am interested in the people in the chat--I wrtite about you sometimes, but really know little. I wish people would read my books and get to know me.

8:14 am

Hi RoundBarn - I have one of your poetry books and like it very much :D

8:14 am

RoundBarn

I like the pun sequences you guys get into.

8:15 am

Judi

Just give us a subject, RoundBarn.

8:15 am

8:17 am

RoundBarn

If I find your address again origami I'll send another--I am overwhelmed with archiving for UWis, I start my day with a f relaxing Babble--then get to work. Oh, Judi--just look up roundbarnstories.com. The poetry books are an offshoot--I edon't pretend to be a poet yet have a steady, almost payless job in Illinois Times. every third one or so political.

8:22 am

Good Morning Everyone!
And Hi, RoundBarn! I haven't "seen" you around for a long time!

Judi

Thanks, RB. I will check out your poems/stories.

8:29 am

RoundBarn

I find you on late at night, Nef, so hve followed you somewhat but I'm too late to speak. I hope to see my couisn in Mlps before they move to more senior quarters--don't know when, though. Did I send you a vol 4?

8:31 am

RoundBarn

You're an early member, Judi, when all my daughters are on. Now it's only Rastapopolous, who comes on chat only to give or define a hard word.

6:11 pm

rururocks

pen? did you have a chance to read the chat this morning?

6:11 pm

penquis

no....something interesting?

6:12 pm

rururocks

oh yes.. I think you'll find it interesting

6:12 pm

penquis

ok, i will check it out...

6:20 pm

penquis

i am a little miffed....i asked very politely not to clue when clues were not asked for....i don't mind clueing (I do it all the time) but only when people ask....and then I dont' clue every word beginning with that letter...

6:21 pm

penquis

kje had asked, too, right before me...

6:33 pm

penquis

can't find my last clue....re 6/30?

6:33 pm

penquis

ha....my last word!

6:34 pm

penquis

found it...i am done...

6:34 pm

penquis

perhaps i should head out before someone accuses me of being mean... ;o)

6:35 pm

penquis

again, lol...

6:36 pm

rururocks

no..

6:36 pm

penquis

no?

6:36 pm

rururocks

I thought it was a little dramatic .. everyone has been asking her nicely to not do that.. but it's not helping

6:37 pm

penquis

no and she appears to get some sympathy when she complains...

6:38 pm

rururocks

right.. it's not like it was a personal attack for god's sake

6:38 pm

penquis

I said please...;o)

6:39 pm

rururocks

I asked her very politely a week before to stop.. but ..

6:39 pm

penquis

yes, and so did kje....we are adults...if we need clues we can ask for them....

6:40 pm

penquis

well i am done with my impolite rant... ;o)....not worth spending any more energy on it....

6:40 pm

rururocks

i don't have a problem with asking for clues but paragraphs of clues for everything is too much.. it takes away from playing the game.. i agree.. just thought you should know

6:40 pm

penquis

ty, ru....i agree....

6:41 pm

rururocks

c'est la vie

6:41 pm

penquis

i can turn off chat, but i like to keep my nose in it when it's not one continuous set of clueing...

6:41 pm

penquis

for sure....

6:42 pm

penquis

well i am heading out.....goodnight ru.....and goodnight to the lurkers!

6:51 pm

Hi ru, et al (didn't know you spoke French, ru!) Just went back over the chat to see what the fuss is about. Found the reason why I rarely look in unless its news (or gossip, of course).

6:53 pm

rururocks

I speak french. Spanish and greek....

6:53 pm

jwr

I am a hard-liner about clueing, I'm afraid. I see gratuitous clues the way people playing poker or bridge or chess look at a kibitzer - someone who interferes and spoils the game.

6:53 pm

HarryHood

2/3 done! my wife is in Athens right now

6:54 pm

jwr

How Greek?

6:54 pm

jwr

or Why, rather

6:57 pm

jwr

In fact, the one time I objected to someone's clues -- to say that giving the number of the letter in the alphabet was not a clue, it was an answer - everyone in chat came down on my head. So my eyes just sweep over their names and I try not to see anything, which is hard for a fast reader.

6:58 pm

HarryHood

I think the clue thing will be self selecting. If ppl don't respond, the overcluing will go away. It's my passive-aggressive side.

7:01 pm

jwr

Last word from me: if I had been here during the first time the subject came up and Jan had talked about helping people who were "struggling," I would have tried to explain that what she saw as struggling was playing the game. As was pointed out, if one needs, one asks.. ... Harry, I think it's gone now. I just had to get my three cents in.

7:01 pm

periwinkle

help with firt re7 pls

7:01 pm

periwinkle

hi all

7:02 pm

HarryHood

I only have one re7, and I doubt it's the first.

7:03 pm

same here. it's a 7/28.

7:03 pm

HarryHood

ditto. and a plural of sorts.

7:04 pm

HarryHood

76 to go. I have to go make lunches for tomorrow. Unfortunately the first day of school

7:05 pm

Your call peri.

7:06 pm

Hi Molly

7:28 pm

Hi Liz and Une. Hope it's a good day for you two.

7:28 pm

Lizlin

I'm sure it will be - the sun's trying to shine and that's always a good thing. Hope you've had a good day.

7:29 pm

Lizlin

If you can have an exfoliant, why not a foliate?

7:29 pm

Lizlin

foliant

7:30 pm

MollyL

Sorry Liz. I always forget the time difference here. Hope it's "about" to be a good day for you. : D

7:30 pm

Uneaixoise

Have spent all day watering watering watering!

7:30 pm

Lizlin

No worries! We've actually had a rainy week - the first for about 5 months. The plants and grass were delighted.

7:31 pm

MollyL

It is dry and way too hot here too, Une. I'm trying to give the plants as much water as I can.

7:32 pm

Lizlin

I think it's been the same everywhere. Europe was also very hot and dry this summer.

7:32 pm

rururocks

I am drinking a lot of water and practicing peeing for my next lifetime as uneâ€™s dog

7:33 pm

7:37 pm

Lizlin

Well, newish

7:37 pm

rururocks

Yeah

7:37 pm

Uneaixoise

She still has lots of energy.... it's just the senior pee thing that's frustrating

7:37 pm

rururocks

She has the same birthday as Dylan

7:37 pm

Lizlin

Aw, that's cute.

7:37 pm

Uneaixoise

Nice, ru

7:38 pm

Lizlin

How old is Dylan now?

7:38 pm

rururocks

Relates to the senior pee thing

I emailed Lickety last night about the extra word. Don't know when he'll see the email though.

7:45 pm

I meant to say: I can chat or i can look for words but I have a hard time doing both. and the words call to me.

7:45 pm
