Hello, Spritey ;-)

3:54 am

3:54 am

how's today, zooz?

3:55 am

Must admit, i had a long sleep, so feeling not too bad so far..lol.....How are you Sprite?

3:56 am

wtg zooz :) Am good, dealing with the aftermath of my hubby's lung scare. Lots of emotions of course, but am dealing, so it is good.

3:58 am

Scary indeed ((Sprite))

3:59 am

yeah... makes one realise that all we think we have is only borrowed. Resetting priorities, lol. Babble is still among them though. And my babble friends!

3:59 am

I know what you mean, Sprite..i really do love my babble friends :-)

4:00 am

babble community is a special one. I am so happy you are part of it, zooz.

4:04 am

Thanks Spritey...ok now got to go into town...will be back later, take care ((((Sprite))))

4:04 am

*hugs* zooz, bye for now!

4:30 am

good morning everybody! Only have a couple of minutes before lunch.

4:30 am

hi rubyfoo

4:31 am

hello sprite, sunshine and cold!

4:31 am

but at least there is still some fruit and little tomatoes. However, all the figs fell off without ripening, second time this summer. Wrong weather and too far north, I guess

4:32 am

normal temps for this time of year here, no rain today, white clouds in a blue sky

4:32 am

probably, figs love warmth. My tiny tomatoes are finally ripening, but I think it is too late for them.

4:32 am

I had a lot of tomatoes this year but some years don't get any

4:33 am

I planted the fig tree in the most protected south-facing part of the garden, but the weather has been off-and-on too cold, I think

4:33 am

am still trying to learn how to 'farm' a little bit. The only things that really worked this year were the strawberries and the potatoes.

4:33 am

from one small cherry tomato plant, I've had 100's. From the bigger plants, many, but finished now

4:34 am

I planted strawberries for the first time this year, put in 12 tiny plants which seem to have "taken" but won't know 'til next year

4:34 am

yeah. Well, I guess I will learn. Maybe next year the tomatoes in the back yard, for more sun.

4:36 am

this is my first garden, but it's now 13 yrs old, so it's looking very good. The potager is sort of hidden away, fortunately, as it is the least successful part

4:36 am

lots of red and black currants, though, in June, and loads of blackberries

4:37 am

lol, the little bit I try to do is nothing compared to your garden. But it is a lot better than doing nothing. I want onions next year. And lettuce.

4:39 am

radishes are a good way to start; they happen fast and easily and are much better than what's in the stores

4:39 am

true, and my love likes eating them. Will keep that in mind as well.

4:39 am

BTW, when I say "I" planted this or that, that means I pointed where it should go. Not strong enough to do my own digging. LOL

4:39 am

And squash is lovely and you can eat the flowers

4:40 am

hehehe and wise enough to let others do the heavy stuff. I had squash this year, but not a single fruit. Beautiful flowers though.

4:40 am

you can use the flowers in tempura

4:41 am

let me think... in a coat of something and then into hot oil?

4:42 am

battered

4:42 am

yes, w2ith slices of onion and sweet potato and shrimp (if you can get them)

4:43 am

I've never made it because husband doesn't eat anything fried, but I love it in restaurants!

4:43 am

will remember that too, sounds good.

4:43 am

must go now, see you later

4:43 am

{{sprite}}

4:43 am

bye rubyfoo, enjoy lunch!

4:44 am

also sliced squash and string beans -- almost any veg!

4:44 am

*[ppf*

4:47 am

lol

4:47 am

I know that one... right hand in wrong place on keyboard. Happens to me often too.

4:49 am

fireflies. Bye all!

5:03 am

snaffoo isn't a word, who'd have thunk ...

5:10 am

morning!

5:24 am

Hello everyone. Think you'll find it is snafu ironstein

5:27 am

lol ... I realised that after I hit enter. Been a looong day :)

5:28 am

Australian too?

5:31 am

Yeah. Gold Coast

5:38 am

hi Infernal

HI.

I just got dinner I was about to go to bed

5:41 am

good place to be, very cold

5:43 am

dinner sounds good. BBL

is this the All Aussie Hour?

6:10 am

Hello ((Jean)) how are you doing?

I am just eating dinner

annie, it's going to be a rough road

6:12 am

hi herin

I am so supper happy I am finally on Holidays

no matter how busy we try to be, it's always hanging heavy

Esprite I may have missed something so blessings be

6:13 am

Jean, Yes, it will be. It stays with you all the time but believe me it does not better. It does not completely leave but it does ease up.

6:14 am

I meant it does get better.

Herein one of my brothers committed suicide last week

absolutely no one saw it coming

6:16 am

(((Jean))) It is so sad. How are his boys?

Esprit please do not blame yourself shitty things happen to good people I am so sorry for your loss. I know that these are just words on your screen but I have been there and can feel and understand

annie I think the older one will be ok, but the younger one is definitely at risk

6:17 am

EJ. am so very sorry for your loss.

ty

6:18 am

I will keep you all in my prayers.

Herein, not realy feeling blame, just the deepest sorrow

ty annie

And please if you find 4am is the darkest hour speak to someone professional and blessings be

6:19 am

the grief passes slowly,but them something happens over time,any anger,any bad times with him melt away till only the loving memories remain .one day in the future you will find yourself telling someone a funny or interesting story about him.you will tell his children about him and his exploits as a child and he will be immortal with with your memories and the love of his boys.till then you are all in my prayers espritjean

he was actually one of the funniest guys ever, he is already legendary for this

he was known for his wacky emails and for keeping people past and present connected.I thought the LEAST he could have done would have been to set up an "auto email" selection so we would continue to get things from him

there is such a huge hole now

Esprit if you don't mind me asking how old was he and did he have kids and a wife and all that

he was 57, (bitterly) divorced for 10 years, two sons in their late 20's

So sad

Hi Crossy

probably the only one he ever hated in his life was the ex-wife who cheated on him and blindsided him with the divorce

6:25 am

then I hope his ex never has a good night's sleep from now on

6:25 am

howdy herin

he even made mention in his note that she was to be barred from any final proceedings

6:25 am

hi crossy, well said

6:25 am

howdy annie

I don't think his ex has anything resembling a conscience

but there other mitigating factors

like the family curse of depression

Esprit hugs

ty, hugs are good for a body

6:30 am

((Jean)))

6:31 am

EJ today you get the famouse crossy bear hug ((()))

you should patent that :-)

6:31 am

***The only way I'm huggin' ya' is if 'yer NOT nekkid.***

I'm wearing a t-shirt

and slippers

does that count?

when you live alone clothing is optional

6:33 am

Close enough. ***hugs***

ty lori ;-p

HI Lori

Good Morning Babblers :)

6:34 am

You and yours have been dealt some wild cards this past week, I've been reading. Your attitude will get ya' through, and the kids will regroup after the shock passes.

HI Nono

6:36 am

What can ya' say really? It's a given that everyone here feels for all of you. Your brother made a decision he felt was right. Long as everyone doesn't look for an answer they'll never get "why", the healing wil go at the right speed for them. Sounds good if you say it fast though....

6:36 am

Hi Lori and Nono

6:36 am

Annie of Brooklyn! Nono! ***lurkers everywhere....***

Esprit I have been very busy hence not knowing till tongiht

6:38 am

***the bunny slippers were a nice touch esprit***

6:38 am

Lori, well said too. We try to make it easier but it does have to go at its own speed. Takes a long long time.

6:40 am

Yep. I've actually dealt with a friend who just said her Sister 'passed away'. Of course it wasn't that a't'all. It was suicide. Very fear inducing word.

6:42 am

Down to 16 words, and more barren than my savings account. Perhaps more coffee.....

it is indeed Lori and many avoid admitting that it happened to a love one, but facing it head on the way Jean has so far will be beneficial

hiding it would only make it worse I think

Esprit: http://dailysquee.com/ IN case you need cute animals for squeeing at

absolutely Jean, facing the fact can only help the healing process

6:45 am

That'd be my thought too, but maybe for some they need more time process.

he even wrote his own obit

he must have thought about this for some time Jean, and knew how painful it would be for all of you and tried to ease that pain as much as he could

6:48 am

He clearly put a lot of thought in to it, not entered in to lightly (on the face of it). Although I totally agree with you it was thoughtless not to set an auto send feature for y'all. Musta' forgot that..... :)

yes he did. he called 911 immediately before and hung up, knowing they would respond immediately and prevent being found by a family member

6:49 am

Til you walk in someone's shoes, who knows. Every day your feet hit the floor is a good day, and you should enjoy every person and every moment. For some, that is just too much for too long.

I truely am so sad for your loss. I don't know what else to say other than you and your entire family will remain in my prayers

I do believe he is in a place of healing now, it just feels so sad to know the anguish he was in before that

6:53 am

***hands Esprit a pair of shorts and gives a wee tiny hug again***

lol

I have to shower soon, not putting any more clothes on woman!

6:54 am

***backs up awkwardly***

:)

6:54 am

no problem here,ok,everyone get buck neeked for pre shower inspections

6:55 am

I've made up some very impressive words for the f's, but nothing takes.

6:55 am

lol, I knew crossy'd be up for that!

6:55 am

:)

well, do share as long as they are not valid

6:57 am

I usually do not get it, but..last year I had 3 flu like illnesses so this year I decided to try better.

I may not take a flu shot this year

Also Flue shot early because its from the hospital.

Hi Annie!

7:13 am

I dint do nuthin....I really dont know..was babbling along and boom I'm at my desktop

I did not want it, but after being so sick last year, I thought I should try it. Working where I work I get exposed more than not.

7:14 am

i dont bother... if i am sick..i am sick... its kinda nice to have command and control of the flicker

yes, Red it is a good idea for anyone working in health care

7:14 am

red, you are a nurse and are exposed to much illness..good idea to take the shot

7:14 am

i always get the shot,cause with asthma already,i do not care for the thought of trying to breath through lungs that feel like they have had a gallon of flem pumped through them if i get a flu in january

7:15 am

here u have to if you work in health care..no choice but to

first time for me in 3-5 years, and also the firs time I did not get a fever with it. WE always have a choice.

it is recommended here carlee but not manditory

Touch wood You dont get the ickies

Well at least I didn't give away any important state secrets.

There's lots of Yiddish in this grid

It's a shanda.

8:15 am

I saw that.

8:15 am

I don't know Yiddish

8:15 am

Also shas

A shanda is a shame , but in Yiddish it's a worse kind of shame.

Can someone tell me why I do this watch medical shows and get grossed out

I saw that too. And I tried it.

Herin, same reason I watch Days of Our Lives.

Bad taste!

groan I am not that desprate

8:17 am

like sa5 through the hour glass so are the days of our lives

yack Carlee

There is a submime experience to be had in truly knowing the story lines of Days of Our Lives. The unitiated think it's only a bad soap.

8:18 am

fe

8:18 am

I don't understand why afro isn't recognized. I remember it being in grids in the past.

8:18 am

( its the intro line to the show herin..i am only quoting)

I know my father watches it

Days of Our Lives can surpass high art, if one is truly immersed. But not everyone is able to achieve this.

8:19 am

i stopped watching soaps during the OJ trial

8:19 am

A lot of sushi words too

thanks for the tip in the sa7!

8:21 am

hime is also Yiddish for home

Heim?

8:24 am

That would be the proper spelling.

8:25 am

clue for fo 7 please

9:00 am

ruby, just curious - do you have a good website to recommend to get news from Europe in English? I'm reading the Italian websites and only understanding about 50% :) the U.S. is not covering Italian politics at all

night all

9:01 am

hi and bye herin

9:01 am

hello all - fo7 - kids need to grow up leave home and **** for themselves - tag that onto the normal 3 letter fo word

9:02 am

I don't read news online, mainly because it uses up my playing time. We get the International Herald Tribune every day, though (except today hahah), so that keeps me up to date. "Tell young girls to marry a rich guy like me" guess who?

9:02 am

bye herin

9:02 am

ty ursh.. gc

9:03 am

ok, thanks, I can check to see if they have a website

9:03 am

ty, nice clues, hurshy

9:10 am

preposterous! since when is "afro" not a word?

9:21 am

*hurshy arrives, perplexed as to how she gave clues without knowing it... then realizes it was in fact ursh who gave clues*

9:36 am

good morning everyone, it was actually ursh that clued

9:45 am

9:47 am

incidentally, ru, I got that word this morning - when someone said use the 2 big tiles, it was firmly planted in my head that I must us the Y and Z

9:47 am

so perhaps you can understand my dead-end

9:47 am

4's are big tiles to M 9 I guess.lol

9:48 am

yes, of course, but had already used the f, so wasn't counting it

9:48 am

10:21 am

ruru what DO you eat?!? *sad for ru*

10:21 am

Good morning....have to chime in here...I don't like sushi because of the seaweed but not all sushi has raw fish in it....I like anari (sp?) sushi okay

10:22 am

that's a big part of it gdine, the yuck!

10:23 am

12:21 pm

found* and lost my literacy.....

12:21 pm

Yes there was some excellent fossils on the sites.

12:21 pm

I was able to solve husband's birthday, just like that!

12:22 pm

I am sure he will be very pleased with his present :-)

12:22 pm

otherwise I would have had to go to visit Crossy

12:22 pm

of course, if he does not, i will have it..lol

12:23 pm

there are probably fossils in the creeks around here, but there is no way I can go fossil-hunting

12:23 pm

you're on, zzoozz. I've given him many different fossils, so he has a nice collection without knowing what any of them are.....hahah

12:25 pm

we are very lucky here,we have a good fossil bed just up the road

12:25 pm

Wonderful, what a great gift, a lucky man indeed.

12:25 pm

common over ruby ill take you fossil huntinbg

12:25 pm

hunting

12:25 pm

I wish, crossy!

12:26 pm

We have a good source of fossils here, but i would not know how to get the rock out without damaging the fossils.

12:26 pm

all you need is a old dull chisel and a rubber mallet

12:26 pm

it is all shale here

12:26 pm

crossy told us yesterday, screwdriver and gentle rubber mallet

12:27 pm

and patience..and lots of time

12:28 pm

probably be quicker with a sledge hammer ..haha

12:28 pm

the only fossil I ever found was a beautiful big (the size of a fist) ammonite, high up in the southern French Alps

12:28 pm

lol zooz,you have to pry the layers apart,not shatter them

12:28 pm

and it was just lying there

12:28 pm

zzoozz, like fishing with TNT

12:28 pm

what i like are bugs and things in amber

12:29 pm

wonderful Ruby, i only find bits of them.

12:29 pm

I have a beautiful amber necklace and earrings but the insects are VERY small

12:29 pm

i have some of those Crossy, Baltic amber with bugs...but they are very small pieces.

12:30 pm

I've also bought him geodes, but they were already polished

12:30 pm

entire untouched geodes are a hard find

12:30 pm

when I lived in Miami, I collected shells and had a Korean medicine chest with many drawers in which I hd the sorted-out shells

12:31 pm

how does one know it's not just a round rock?

12:31 pm

there are indicators i am told,but i am not a rock hound and do not know what they are

12:31 pm

if I had it all to do over, I would either be a geologist or an entomolgist

12:32 pm

like where they are found and the surrounding rock/soil etc

12:32 pm

definitely missed my calling(s)

12:32 pm

i love the antiques and the hunting of them,thats where my calling is

12:32 pm

same here Ruby.

12:33 pm

unfortunately, we don't get to do "do-overs"!

12:34 pm

i am still hopeful to get this book store going,but many things will have to come together

12:34 pm

and i have a name for it,since i will also have art supplies...

12:35 pm

I need one more word for half. How sad is that?

12:35 pm

"The pen and Parchment"

12:35 pm

name????

12:35 pm

I love it!

12:35 pm

Nice one Crossy!

12:35 pm

i still need 90 Ruby..lol

12:36 pm

wife is the artist and wants to offer calligraphy and artist supplies and i am the book hound

12:36 pm

that makes me feel better, zzoozz!

12:36 pm

i still need 94;(

12:36 pm

oh, you guys!!! {{big hugs}}

12:37 pm

;)))

12:37 pm

talking of calligraphy, my hand writing is terrible..lol

12:37 pm

I type faster than I write

12:38 pm

i don`t mind type writing..lol

12:38 pm

my writing looks like a chicken walked through some ink and stumbled across a page of paper before dying a horrible death

12:39 pm

LOL, snap Crossy, glad i am not the only one then :-)

12:39 pm

my handwriting and drawing were both excellent, but eyes aren't good enough anymore

12:40 pm

even with my wifes bad eyes,she can grab a pen and trott off a line of perfect copperplate script

12:40 pm

is anybody else left-handed?

12:40 pm

thats a shame Ruby, not even if you wear glasses?

12:40 pm

i hate her lol

12:40 pm

wife is a lefty

12:41 pm

no, when I was exhibiting, the drawings I did were extremely fine-lined and there is no way I can do it any more

12:41 pm

I am ambidextrous Ruby

12:41 pm

LOL,Crossy

12:41 pm

aha! 40% of artists are left-handed : Leonardo, Michaelangelo and me!!

12:41 pm

lol as am i,i can mess up with either hand

12:42 pm

LOL

12:42 pm

and, except for Jimi, Paul McC and my husband, most musicians are right-handed

12:43 pm

that means i must be useless at everything then..LOL

12:43 pm

hahah but a great chatter!

1:08 pm

Jolly bad show, I always thought you were rather a good egg! ok, I'll stop now... :-)

1:10 pm

Ruby, You must be very fluent in f

1:10 pm

not to be too rude Crossy, will not say too much here, but when i was being silly a while ago i tried to do something daft..and while out of it, via tablets..i damaged my leg...how stupid of me..lol

1:10 pm

1:20 pm

1:22 pm

crossy, I think it's as real as it gets.....

1:22 pm

Oh, Ruby Foo!! You are a treat. Your causing me to use up all my e marks!

1:22 pm

if this was the real world we would all be ulcer and illness free, for there is no stress in babble land

1:22 pm

1:22 pm

Hi Jacq - I missed you coming in. :-)

1:22 pm

*poof and stressless hugs*

1:23 pm

hello lexophile

1:23 pm

fossils

1:23 pm

hello lexo

1:24 pm

I just seem to attract a lot of criticism for my various enthusiasms.....

1:24 pm

Hello Lex. What an ingenious present, Ruby. Have you given them to him yet?

halo, Soodlebum! check your guestbook, please!

1:24 pm

but trying to find an alternative to exclamation points!!!! uh oh, there I go again....

1:24 pm

Hi George.... Will do!!

stress? what stress? om shanti, shanti, peace!

1:25 pm

I am guilty of "..." in excess... see?

1:25 pm

I've given him nay, soodle, including a magnificent one that I found in a gallery in Switz that is the size of a tombstone

1:25 pm

ruby, i say to the critics, go get a life!!!!!!! be enthusiastic!!!! live it up!!!!!!

1:25 pm

{{jacq}}}

1:25 pm

sends ruby my spare E marks

1:25 pm

that was many, no nay, soodle

1:26 pm

actually i would say loads of nasty dirty words but my mum might be playing

1:26 pm

not* losing it, I fear

1:26 pm

I'm always afraid my son or nephew will pop in

1:26 pm

fossils would be a fabulous present for me... clever of you, ruby ... does your hubby have a particular interest in them?

1:27 pm

giving somebody nay is a funny idea, non?

1:27 pm

George - I was already alerted to that particular episode!!!!! (Note excessive use of exclamation marks.....)

1:27 pm

an interest I've created. I find them all over the place -- auctions, stores, online, on trips

1:27 pm

yup, i was caught nicely by my boss last week, we were doing a deep clean on an elderly gentlemans home and i touched a spider, jumped and banged my head ona door handle and swore just as she walked in

1:28 pm

I can't get him anything else. I bought him a gorgeous Aran sweater and he never wears it, saving itperhaps.... he's 85!

1:28 pm

lol ruby

1:28 pm

Just thinking about Ruby & her DH. He buys her flowers ( a rose for a rose) and she buys him fossils........

1:29 pm

maybe he's saving it for me!

you were, Soodle?

1:29 pm

she did say fossils for a fossil

1:29 pm

lol

did it make the news? ha!

1:29 pm

I was, G

1:29 pm

ohhh george!!

1:29 pm

A mutual friend alerted me to it!!!!

1:30 pm

brb need a coffee and fresh cream scone

1:30 pm

That's okay, soodle. Now if he bought her a female puppy, I'd be worried...

1:30 pm

I hate to buy presents for my hubby -- he's impossible! buys everything he wants for himself... leaves nothing for me to get him

did it give you a good laugh, eyeroll and headshake, Soodle? funny, eh? still haven't stopped laughing, ha!

1:30 pm

lol jess

1:30 pm

wife is going to be getting me a nice old pocket watch for a belated b-day present;))

yeah, jacq?

1:31 pm

I was thinking of getting him a kitten but 1) he would have it de-clawed (eeeew) and 2) my Ruby might kill it!

1:31 pm

i have to get a b-day pressie for a man who has everything he needs and wants, asks for nothing but a kiss and argues about me even buying myself a drink when we go out in the car

1:31 pm

when I was still working, I used to give him fabulous presents but it's much more difficult now that I'm retired. How do you buy somebody presents with mutual money?

1:31 pm

my dad would be jealous, crossy. He collects clocks & watches

1:32 pm

make him a cupon book!

1:32 pm

A present for a man with everything? Easy! Penicillin!!

1:32 pm

hahahah

perhaps you should do something nice for the person instead, often means more!

1:32 pm

like a night out with me! A walk in the park! and then he turns them in when he wants to use them

1:32 pm

haha... my hubby's allergic to PCN...

penicillin's a pressie, Soodle? yeah, you've got some odd ideas, you do! ha, ha!!

1:32 pm

like what? chloroform? rohypnol?

1:33 pm

you are sweet and romantic, peg

1:33 pm

viagra? cialis?

1:33 pm

soodle and I think alike! I know, I'll give him to Soodle, that will be my present!!!!!!

1:33 pm

I have done it before. its nice because its not like you are getting them something but you can still share in some amazing moments

1:34 pm

eeeew, lex!

1:34 pm

My ex used to only buy me presents he could avail of himself, like weekends away etc. It always reminded me of the time Homer Simpson bought Marge a bowling ball for her birthday!

1:35 pm

good night everybody

1:35 pm

there you go with another "!" ruby

1:35 pm

I love the bowling ball idea

oh yeah, lovely and thoughtful, that!

1:35 pm

Bye Rubes (((Take care)))

1:35 pm

g'night ruby

1:35 pm

good night ruby!

<< being dead sarky!

1:35 pm

4:26 pm

Bye all

4:26 pm

bye lynxxx *waves*

this grid puts me in mind of a song.

what song, 99 bottles of beer on the wall?

Glad you asked. "If you knew sushi...

"like I know sushi"

coz of that one word?

A couple of words actually.

The no4 and the sh6.

I man sa6.

I mean I MEAN

"I still say it's spinach, and it stinks!"

Obscure reference to very old New Yorker cartoon.

Don't mind me, I'm just free-associating.

4:39 pm

da 6/24?

Plural of da5/14

4:40 pm

so you watched good eats last night?

Who?

4:41 pm

im missing a D word

da4 with a vowel=da5, plural is da6

is fo8 a compound?

Oh, I think I have it

4:45 pm

wtg kap

ow I need the 5 & 6/30. I'm still using my own dimming wits.

The Fonz is not a word.

4:47 pm

nope

I seem to have 8 left but no energy.

4:56 pm

85 left but i think i will go home instead

4:57 pm

maybe i will come back later

Yeah, go home.

4:57 pm

Oh, Kap... You have put the 'If you knew sushi' song into my head, and now I know its going to earworm me all night long. Thanks a lot. lol

4:59 pm

they won't let me have smirnoff

5:00 pm

apparently proper nouns aren't words, this is annoying since its listed in the dictionary

5:01 pm

I can use some smirnoff too right now but will be good and wait till a more appropriate time

5:03 pm

LOL zas - anytime is Smirnoff time..... With tonic, ice and a slice. yum yum!!

5:04 pm

True, it's got to be aperitif time somewhere in the world

5:04 pm

i have 2 out of 3 for the mid I

5:05 pm

Don't know where you are, Zas, but here in Ireland, its 23.05. A very acceptable Smirnoff time...

5:06 pm

great, I'll drink one in your honor

5:06 pm

Vmachine, have you the apparatus to take creases out of clothes? And the same word, with a vowel on the end, and the same word again with a sometimes vowel on the end?

5:06 pm

Sláinte Zas!!

5:07 pm

i have an apparatus, and a literary device,

5:08 pm

ahhh thank you

5:09 pm

i still havent been able to find that E on top

5:10 pm

The E on top is a ruler in an Arab state.... E plus the space station....

I am glad I am getting practice teaching different types of classes -- the one where I was "scary" is actually more of a science class, but the others are all language arts. I "think" I have a handle on the language arts classes, but still working on the whole management of individuals thing.

8:13 pm

anyway, tom is home, I have at least three hours' work to do and only two hours until I actually should be asleep... *sigh* four hours a day in the car isn't working well for me. I'll try to stop by again before I log off tonight. ***hugs and choclits for all***
