1:18 am

Congrats, flosey. Think I should go to bed now.

1:19 am

congrats flosey -- came back just in time to see your triumph

1:20 am

I have only one word so far -- appropriately, wa4/8

1:20 am

ty ty

1:20 am

and jilli, did you get my email

1:20 am

second one

1:21 am

yes -- tyvm flosey

1:21 am

trying to pull myself together now

hi and nbt

1:21 am

yvw, glad the sons weren't there when you went

1:21 am

aren't these pretty bubbles?

everything alright, jilli

1:22 am

so am I flosey

1:22 am

thanks and yours too

1:23 am

ok with me, thaks, josh, but not with a friend

sorry to hear

1:24 am

thanks, josh

1:24 am

I'm off for the night now then, hope you will have a good sleep tonight jilli

i lost my cousin a couple of weeks ago. it was very hard

1:25 am

me too, flosey -- really, I'm surprised how hard this has hit!

1:26 am

josh, this is my former bridge partner, suddenly and surprisingly in palliative care. Went to see her today and haven't got over the shock yet.

i'm sorry, i'm sure everyone is trying to make sense of things

1:27 am

Is this grid extra tough or am I extra stunned?

probably a little of both

1:28 am

could be -- glad to know it's tough for some others too

at least it's tiny

1:31 am

tiny is usually terrible

i would feel a lot more comfortable if i had the 8

1:32 am

I don't give a hoot about 8s until later

1:34 am

darn -- there are ferris wheels but ferris is a nono here. Prper noun, I guess

yeah i tried that too

1:36 am

sheesh, monkeyed a vi4 and it worked -- bah!

1:37 am

and the same ti worked too

don't forget the plurals

1:38 am

both have 5s

1:38 am

just remembered, lol!

1:40 am

and I also remembered enable can't spell

i have 3 left, and one of them is the 8

1:41 am

wtg as usual, josh

if you get a word starting with t or s, it is a good idea to try it starting with the other one in this grid

1:44 am

thks, josh, will try to remember that for tomorrow when I'm more compos mentis

whatever the 8 is, it starts from the middle r

1:48 am

well, good luck to you, but I'm folding now, so goodnight...*poof

g'night

1:58 am

r8/45 is very unusual adjective that could be applied momentarily to firework. anyone want a clue to it?

yes please

1:59 am

there is a mineral for the first five letters and word ends in -ant

2:04 am

I see it's an ru8

2:07 am

shall I try a less obscure clue?

2:14 am

hello - anyone out there? any clue for the tw5/22 please?

2:16 am

rhymes with sw5

2:17 am

ty JeeWhiz

2:17 am

yw scouser

2:22 am

there is a bearded sheep in here today

2:25 am

came back and deciphered the ru8!

2:25 am

Now for the bearded sheep of which we have none here although our island is notied for its regular sheep

2:26 am

what does the bearded kind start with, pese?

2:26 am

*please (I should be in bed)

2:27 am

starts with ur

2:28 am

the mineral in ru8 can form sparkly needle-like crystals inside clear quartz, sometimes dark red or black, sometimes golden.

2:29 am

never would have guessed that, scouser -- ty for the mineral's talents!

2:29 am

the sheep is from south Asia

2:30 am

No I thought it was a name for an angel

2:30 am

my monkeys can't find the sheep and I give up -- bedwards again ( it's half past midnight here)

2:31 am

wa4/12 is often heard here

2:33 am

well, I got one of the wa4/12s

2:34 am

and got the other wa4/12--!

2:36 am

the sheep sounds very biblical and ends like that too

2:36 am

I see the sheep is an ur5 because I have the totally unrelated ur4

2:37 am

sorry yes it is ur5/12

2:39 am

sorry -- just too tired to figure it out -- bedtime for sure now -- have a happy day and thanks for the effort to help

2:39 am

and guess what? there are currency items once more ! I really need to revise coins of the world !

2:39 am

ty jillibus

2:40 am

this gird is a little bugger imho

2:40 am

*grid (sigh -- fatigue)

2:50 am

go have a rest - you might wake up in 30 minutes with all words in your head ready to go in grid

2:59 am

what a lot of odd words in this grid. I couldn't do this one without lickety

3:14 am

bore da pawb - good morning all

3:15 am

aiming for NBT but RUV defeating me at the moment - think I'll have to Lickety soon!

3:31 am

The v words rhyme with the opposite of boy(s)

3:32 am

i have them now, thanks

3:32 am

That's fine, I realised too late that it was a while since you had posted.

3:33 am

I'll head off - have a good day!

3:33 am

can't find the Us though - you'd think utera wuld be accepted but maybe the pl of uterus is uterae

3:39 am

Try the plural!

please could i have a clue for the tw5/22

3:40 am

And not with the 'ae'.

3:40 am

that's the tw i can't find

3:41 am

Noise a now string makes.

3:41 am

tw 5/22 sounds like plucking a guitar string

3:41 am

TY Sue & sandr

3:42 am

3:46 am

not got the 8 but it is ru8/45 if that's any help

4:21 am

hi and bye kalia

4:21 am

how is mr,. hate, glanta?

4:22 am

hideous husband is talking to me as if nothing bad has ever happened every time i venture out of my room - and he can't see why i have a problem with that

4:22 am

ow is your situation this morn ing? still being a gracious hostess?

4:23 am

I can here your (silent) screams from France!

4:24 am

they never stop talking about "old times" (the only thing they have in common) and treat me like a servant!

4:24 am

i do hope you are being a suitably polite and gracious servant LOL

4:25 am

yes, ma'am!

4:26 am

Hello Ruby

4:26 am

{{lynxx}}

4:27 am

and when they are sitting and talking, if I come into the room, they go silent! Charming

4:28 am

silence isn't such a bad thing if the conversation is dull LOL

4:28 am

same old stories and lies.....

4:28 am

do you know the worst thing you can do to somebody you dislike is to be relentlessly and exceedingly nice to them?

4:29 am

they know you don't mean it but they can't complain about you being nice! really really nice, ALL the time - like every two minutes

4:29 am

one of my old friends used to say that "Kill them with kindness!"

4:29 am

it produces total consternation

4:29 am

Enjoy it Ruby, at least you can do your own thing while your husband is otherwise occupied

4:30 am

that is true, lynxx

4:30 am

I'm just tired from all the cooking

4:30 am

morning all - a little bit of tricky one this mornin

4:31 am

first li5?

4:31 am

Hi Kazz

4:31 am

hello kaz!

4:31 am

NM - got it

4:31 am

Hi Kazz

4:31 am

any li5? hahah

4:31 am

Just make sure you do at least one 'cold cuts' eac day Ruby ie just fling stuff onto a platter

4:32 am

been reading the chog - cant you go on strike Ruby? Also glan - my sister had the same problem and got the police to take him away

4:32 am

were his daughters any help, ultimately, glanta?

4:33 am

Kazz - his position is that he wons half the house so is perfectly entitled to live in it and he is being so polite i have no cause for complaint

4:33 am

no his daughters are not very helpful

4:33 am

he went to see if he could raise the finance to buy me out yesterday but he can't raise it - i never thought he could for a moment

4:33 am

find a solicitor that does the free short consultation and see where you stand

4:34 am

glant: you are almost a phantom!

4:34 am

he is now suggesting - wait for it - that (because I have more mortgage buying poer thna him) we buy another house jointly and we each own a half share in both

4:35 am

is he out of his mind?

4:35 am

and i said so i get to live in a small house while you get this lovely big one and we pay equal shares?

4:35 am

that is crazy!

4:35 am

he is walter mitty with a hide like a rhinoceros

4:36 am

you need a rhino gun!

4:36 am

he says we would both be some much better off in the long term - which is true - but i'd actually like to enjoy some good times while i am young enough to do so! his plan would mean i would he=ave every penny of my wages committed to living expenses

4:36 am

and anyway, i really want him out of my life and buying a house together would guarantee that never happened

4:37 am

don't do it, however charming his blandishments

4:37 am

no intention - i want the house on the market asap

4:37 am

he'd be better in the long term; you'd be scr*****

4:37 am

i'd be in a psych hospital

4:37 am

Sell the house, give him his due, and buy an other for yourself - at least he will be out of your life!

4:38 am

amen, sisters!

4:38 am

like i said get some advise - its a horrible situation to be in

4:38 am

that is my plan lyn - but i predict that he will try to sabotage it

4:38 am

i plan to get some free legal advice via my employers assistance programme

4:39 am

...and follow Kazz's advice, make sure you get all your bases covered

4:39 am

excellent!

4:39 am

i can talk to a solicitor on the phone for free

4:39 am

must go, they're back from the store {{big hugs all around}}

4:39 am

bye ruby - hugs back

4:39 am

bye Ruby - but DON"T rush up to them

4:40 am

ruby - do you have to go? U have as much right to be doing something as they do - make then sort themselves out

4:44 am

ri5 anyone?

4:44 am

ri plus small insect

4:44 am

ri & picnic pest

4:44 am

anyone got the 8 yet

4:44 am

TY lun

4:44 am

ru8 - ends in the same pest

4:45 am

and has most of a square ceramic thing in the middle

4:46 am

4:47 am

4:51 am

gooooooooooooooooooooood morning fellow babblers xxx

4:53 am

yikes im lost in a world of nobody!!!!! talk to me!!!! lol xxx

4:56 am

ok i will go for a smoke then and come back and see if life has arrived brb xxx

4:57 am

hi froggie - been concentrating on getting the last few - need to do a load of housework today

5:06 am

ooo hi kazzer xxx

5:07 am

well that's it - fireworks for me - must go soon to do the dreaded housework

5:08 am

well done!!!! guess i'll speak to you later - and hopefully somebody else on here lol

5:09 am

yes - it does seem v quiet - might be the time of day - los of friends in the states asleep and UK friends out

Hi frogface! Just come on and saw you were all alone :- Haven't been able to Babble much just lately.

5:09 am

hi sally - no i been busy too and have only finished one grid this week - but with 77 words i am confident today!!!! positive mental attitude - go froggy go froggy!!!

Hmm, see that "wang" isn't allowed. Haven't these Americans heard of welly wanging?

5:11 am

aaaah good ole welly wanging - and cheese chasing and barrel races - ah the good old ways and days lmao

5:12 am

arent we english a strange lot lol

lol

5:12 am

hey sally u reckon any other country is as eccentric as us? i mean, where else will u find morris dancers and people who sing about combine harvesters?

Perhaps we just think of other countries as having quaint local customs and not as odd ones. I mean, we don't have a sport of running after bulls. Farmers here have a healthy regard for their livestock!

We are less inclined to dress up our dogs, or put little kids in beauty contests as far as I know. So no, I don't think we are eccentric - it's all the others, innit! :-)

5:16 am

omg i was in new york a few years ago andd their dogs!!!!

Hastens to assure US Babblers that I realise that not everyone does that, any more than all English are morris dancers!

5:18 am

maybe we're not all morris dancers, but u gotta admit we are all a bit odd. i stayed in broadway hotel in new york and 1st morning i came out of doors and these two chaps walked past with tiny dogs in their arms and both dogs were dressed in pink plastic coats with boots and they had a lil pink bow on their heads!!! mad!

Was it the chaps or the dogs with the pink bows? :-)

phone

5:19 am

lmao it was the dogs. and there was a woman in saks 5th avenue - old woman with fur coat etc - had a purple died poodle! madness

5:19 am

if it was new york, it was prob both!

5:20 am

lmao ivesy! i really loved ny but i gotta say they are a very "open" kinda people

5:21 am

for sure... never been there, live about an 8 hour drive out.... but people love it

5:22 am

i was staying in florida for 2weeks but went to ny for a weekend stopover. florida is very "hickish" in places but also very friendly. but ny really blew my mind

5:22 am

life kind of slow in fla, compared to ny heh? so many people,not my kind of place

5:23 am

anyways i gotta dash to shops now but will be back later =- been nice talking to you ivesy and as you lovely folk "across the pond" say - have a good day!!!

5:23 am

*poof*

5:43 am

we've gotten up to WW2 so far, childhood is finished. I could scream!

Hi ruby!!!!!!!!

5:44 am

I just came back on and all the words I found before ar e not listed. Back to the beginning!

5:45 am

sally

Just found the needlecase. Haven't had that one for a while.

Have you tried refreshing ruby?

5:45 am

this is so weird. When I try to enter the words I put in this morning (but which are not on my list), it says they are already entered.

5:45 am

how do you refresh?

Are you talking about your word list or lickety's?

5:46 am

my word list - I was just under half :(

5:46 am

I never use lickety, just struggle along with the help of the chog

I imagine you use Internet Explorer? You should find a menu item called Reload, but in my browser it looks like a little half circle with an arrow.

In Firefox I hit that Refresh button, but I see it is in the menu under View - Reload page. Otherwise try Alt + R.

Or your Refresh button might be on your address bar, to the right of where it says www.playbabble.com. See if there's something that looks circular!

5:49 am

yay! I just logged out and re-entered. Phew! How are you sally?

That's good ruby, but some time try to find out how to refresh. Very useful if a web page is playing silly b*****s.

I'm not too bad. Gather you have the Daughter Visit at the moment.

5:51 am

yes, what fun!

5:51 am

they are treating me like a servant!

Point out politely that the last servant left, leave the room and do something else.

5:52 am

that's why I'm in my studio playing. I fixed them their cocktails and quietly disappeared.

5:53 am

almost half!

5:53 am

and then out to lunch, yay!

Don't think of it as playing ruby! You are doing something with your time. What they do with their time is different.

Out to lunch is good. When does Daughter go?

5:53 am

all they have in common is the past and I have heard the stories SO many times!!!!

And is it cheering up husband?

5:54 am

Tues or Wed, and by bus!

5:54 am

she can make her own way to the airport

5:55 am

mean ruby!

just found a lovely gn 4/10 and plural ruby.

5:55 am

ty sally, 38 now

So - is visit having a cheering-up effect?

5:56 am

who knows? he isn't speaking to me at all.....

5:56 am

and she made him go on a too-long walk yesterday!

5:57 am

he is not ready to walk for an hour and a half up and down the BIG hill

Oh I don't know - might be bad for his heart .....

5:57 am

nobody asks my opinion and he is so macho and stupid about stuff like that, would never admit being tired

5:57 am

definitely. The cardiologist said "little by little", not all at once

5:58 am

next time, I'm not going to the hospital everyday!

Have you spoken to her about it? Perhaps she didn't realise, if he would not say.

5:58 am

I've tried, but she's not the sharpest blade in the drawer, that's for sure

and he is very stubborn and never says when he doesn't feel well (unless he has a cold and then only wants drugs!)

In the end ruby we all have to live our lives as we choose. If he chooses to do things which are not good for him, that's his choice, not yours. It isn't for you to stop him. And perhaps it is better to die doing something you enjoy (like a long walk with your daughter) than stay at home doing what is "right" but makes you grumpy.

6:01 am

and I'm not his mother!

Sorry, that came out like a lecture and wasn't meant as such.

6:01 am

or hers, thank God!

6:01 am

you can lecture me any time you want, Sally, you are much more wise than I!

6:01 am

I need one word for half

Still have 19 to find, but can I help?

6:02 am

top l or 4th column r or v?

6:03 am

aah, got the 39th

For the V, go straight up for a Vi 4/7, then plural.

6:04 am

now I had better go and be nice again, "killing them with kindness"

lol, bye for now.

6:04 am

ty sally

6:05 am

I've buried all my "sensitive" corresponence because she will probably snoop. All my stuff with soodle is under dog food tips and recipes.... hahah And sprite suggested marking a file private and then saying BOO!!!

6:06 am

*poof*

lol, I did that once ruby. My ex-mother un law was baby sitting and I knew she would snoop. I had a whole load of letters to post and I put *nosey parker* in the middle. The letters were in a different order so I knew she had seen.

**gone**

6:36 am

Morning all. Looks like what Carlee would call a "bitty grid". I guess we must all get our chores done today.

6:38 am

its a hard grid molly

6:40 am

Hi everyone!

6:44 am

Hey Brooke. Ah, there is nothing like the smell of a Spring morning, combined with blueberry/cinnamon muffings baking and bacon and eggs cooking.

6:44 am

muffings?

6:44 am

Muffings sound great too!

6:45 am

It's obviously time to brew more coffee. : )

6:45 am

Hopefully we can venture outside later. In the meantime, my older son has a fever and a bit of nausea. Younger son is full of energy!

6:45 am

How are you doing, Molly?

6:46 am

Aw, poor boy-o. Hope he feels better soon. I'm good, very glad it's the weekend and time to relax a bit.

6:46 am

Me too. Really like your icon... very appropriate!

6:47 am

Okay, silly question. Do you have the first li5?

6:48 am

nm, got it!

6:52 am

Sorry, I was seeing after breakfast. Weird word, eh?

6:53 am

No worries. Actually, do you have either ru word? For whatever reason, I can't even monkey the ru4!

6:53 am

I have the ru8

6:54 am

I'll take a clue if you don't mind giving one.

6:55 am

Oh, and there is the ru4. That is someone who regrets. The 8 is ru + ***e flooring can be slippery + picnic pest

6:56 am

Great ru8 clue!

6:56 am

And got the r4. Can't believe I didn't see that! I tried every strange combination out there. I typed every word known to mankind, short of "muffings".

6:57 am

I'm having trouble with the ***e flooring

6:57 am

Think of ceramic ***e.

6:57 am

the kind often in kitchens and bathrooms

6:57 am

rutilant

6:57 am

SORRY!!!!!!!

6:57 am

That's it Mema! : )

6:58 am

Just your luck, I put some blueberry muffins in the PB.

6:58 am

Morning Hursh.

6:58 am

mmmm muffins

6:58 am

77 typical weekend grid!!

Oh, great- I just got on and have an 8. NM-I never would have got it anyway.

7:01 am

Hi mema, hurshy, deeha, and kaplan!

Goodmorning.

7:01 am

i wonder if there will be muffins where i am going for breakfast

7:01 am

Hi folks. W hat does the 8 start with Kap?

7:02 am

Where are you going Hursh?

7:02 am

it's a weird one deeha... ru... clue and word are posted in chat below

7:02 am

bible study at a friend's house

Let's pretend I didn't get it from the chog. Don't look down. It is an ru8.

7:02 am

That's nice. What do people usually serve for things like that?

7:03 am

it varies, different people bring food each week

7:03 am

last week we had eggs, biscuits, and bonus banana bread

7:03 am

Oh, everyone brings something. Those are usually very nice.

7:03 am

How about if you bring muffins, hursh, just to be sure? :-)

They serve sin-amin buns.

7:03 am

i'm in charge of food next time

And angel's food cake.

7:04 am

LOL, kaplan.

7:04 am

i don't think i have enough time to make muffins afore leaving

7:04 am

Bring muffins and say you're practicing for your role next time.

And testa-mints. Old and new.

7:05 am

Kap is on a roll. : P

7:05 am

Are you making these up on the spot, kaplan?

Yes I am.

Molly's question seemed like a perfect set-up.

7:06 am

Very impressive.

7:06 am

interesting. four words left, all five letters long. narrows the monkeying down, wot?

Impressive stupidity?

7:06 am

Aren't you glad Kap isn't in your speech competition Brooke? : )

7:07 am

I'd be sweating bullets.

7:08 am

My 3-year-old is making me squeeze an Aflac duck approximately every 10 seconds.

7:09 am

tell him or her to squeeze his or her own aflac duck!

what is an aflac duck? is it a frend of the Damon duck?

7:10 am

The woman I work with has one of those. Every once in a while, when it's real quiet in the office, she lets him rip.

7:10 am

Oh good, he's moved on to something else. In all fairness, it was too hard for his little hands to squeeze on his own.

7:10 am

Good one, Kaplan!

7:10 am

aflac is supplemental insurance to pay bills and things if you can't work due to illness. the duck is their spokesduck.

7:11 am

The AFLAC duck is a stuffed duck that you squeeze and it says AFLAC! AFLAC! AFLAC!

spokesduck just got fired didn't he?

7:11 am

Hi esprit!

7:11 am

the spokesduck got FIRED?!?!?!!!

Gilbert Gottfried, the voice of the duck

hi brookie

7:12 am

Need one more word... the fe5. Any clues?

got fired for making stupid jokes about the Japan tragedy

7:12 am

will there be same duck, new voice?

7:12 am

f + three vowels + cons

7:12 am

We have a wondeful series for an insurance comparison site starring a Russian meerkat. Try googling it, it makes me laugh everytime

I'm sure they've started a nationwide talent hunt

7:13 am

french fire + postal abbr for clinton (original) home state

7:14 am

Got it! Thanks! Fireworks!

7:14 am

the fact that all my remaining words are 5 letters is not helping me after all. my monkeys remain stumped.

7:19 am

I think ferris is someones name

10:31 am

George Ferris, to be specific

10:31 am

11:13 am

wa 4/12 - 27th letter of the Arabic alphabet

11:14 am

Viral is a word. If you notice when you type it in, it says it doesn't exist in the puzzle, not that it doesn't exist in the dictionary. The A doesn't connect to the L.

11:14 am

Oh...you said virial. Sorry.

11:17 am

hi everyone could i please have help with the 8 please

11:17 am

fireworks -

11:18 am

12:36 pm

ok ,busy monkeys have gotten me at least 1/2 way on each tile...

12:37 pm

and I still think virial should be a word! I distinctly remember learning the virial theorem in math, although I can't remember what it is, and I don't think it was a proper noun.

12:38 pm

Men who are worried about being virial enough take Viagra.

12:38 pm

i need that too lbd

12:38 pm

12:58 pm

hiya uusue :)

12:58 pm

wang should be a word imo

12:58 pm

Why do dogs need there tails clipped?

I thought you were having them neutered.

12:59 pm

need? absolutely no damn reason, unless they are broken.

12:59 pm

but people expect them to have short tails, so breeders have the tails cut off. and because breeders always have the tails cut off, buyers expect them to have short tails, and we're back to the beginning.

1:00 pm

it's stupid. but i'd really rather that i do it, and suture them closed, than have people at home doing it with kitchen shears.

1:00 pm

Oh poor thing how did your dogs tail get broken?

1:00 pm

yiokes.. i love long tails on my dogs so i can tug on them lol

1:00 pm

ok that sounded perverted

1:00 pm

it didn't, zooz. at least not recently. i was mutilating puppies for a breeder.

1:00 pm

Eww, cosdem.

1:01 pm

Oh i see..sorry misread your post.

1:01 pm

but one has to do what one has to do to make a living :)

1:01 pm

oh good someone else thinks doing that to their tails is dumb...we have four boxers from rescues all with tails done two of them toooo short

1:01 pm

does it hurt them?

1:01 pm

4 left

1:02 pm

62 lol

1:02 pm

and it's highly unlikely to change until more people start showing dogs un-cropped and un-docked.

1:02 pm

3 now

1:02 pm

thats the truth jes !

1:02 pm

It is illeagal over here..is it the same there?

1. And it's a 4.

1:03 pm

well, i'm sure it doesn't feel good. they stop crying when I stop stitching though, so it's hard to tell how long the pain lasts. very very rare that there are any long-lasting complications or problems, but usually when there are it's because the owner did it at home instead of bringing the pups to the clinic.

1:03 pm

i dont know why people think do that to tails and messin with ears is so necessary

1:03 pm

no, it's not illegal, or i wouldn't be doing it

1:03 pm

2 4's and 1 5

I've been monkeying for the ru4 for hours, it seems

1:04 pm

How sad.

1:04 pm

1:06 pm

Bingo. But what the hell is a walkingstick letter?

1:09 pm

r?

1:09 pm

looks like a a cane

1:10 pm

Correct, Cosdem :-)

1:10 pm

A walkingstick letter is a gift rather than a clue

1:10 pm

Hello, BR :-)

Hello BabbleRabble

1:10 pm

Hi, BR!

1:11 pm

Hello, zoozzoom

That's a stretch.

Hello, Sue

uusue, I've been curious -- unitarian univeralist?

1:23 pm

yes, mich

1:23 pm

your welcome

1:23 pm

born and raised myself, though not active.

1:24 pm

not the only way I define myself, by a long shot, but I liked the rhyming of it when I was trying to come up with screen names

1:24 pm

I understand exactly! that's a very UU attitude :D

1:25 pm

I joined when I moved to Oklahoma, wanted to find people who thought the same way I did, have been more active at some times than others

1:25 pm

My d.i.l. is very active in a UU chrurch here

1:26 pm

I'm starting to get back to it more frequently, sing in the choir - our group is kind of small so they need all the help they can get :-)

1:27 pm

it's so funny because in Big Love this season Barb is questioning things and feel women should be able to be priestholders. It's against Bill's dogma, but it's very UU. "Build your own theology" is a concept I adhere to. Poor Barb, she needs to become a Unitarian :)

1:29 pm

I love the music most of all. A friend of mine is in a choir and I go when she has a solo. They're a great group and don't try to get me roped in as a member. The church in downtown Portland is very conservative and tries to get everyone pinned down the second you walk in the door. Not my scene.

1:29 pm

hey mom!

2:44 pm

Hi Fastlifewalt

how are you doing today?

2:45 pm

fine and you?

fine!

man v.s food - either foodnetwork or the travel channel, though de nic's doesn't make huge sandwiches, that is the general program format where the guys tries to at a huge promo item. i think it was wrong, was probably best thing i never ate show.

2:47 pm

I have never heard of that show. Will have to look for it on our cable stations

i did have a yummy pumpkin seed covered crusty dinner roll for a snack.

i watch that show

2:47 pm

sounds good

i can't beleive the radio station had us wirk and did not even give us water. and the regular kitchen was not working for this event

2:49 pm

that doesn't seem right, TO.

2:49 pm

that was the least they could have done

2:49 pm

Tomorrow is the first day of Spring! I bought some tomato plants, lettuce plants and a pretty pansy today.

unless someone donates it, we don't eat.

2:50 pm

I think that is terrible.

there was a buffet of kids food

2:50 pm

My sweetie is out planting our flowers as we speak

2:50 pm

Ooo Mom, what is he planting?

2:50 pm

TO, did you at least get a bite of the kid's buffet

2:58 pm

2:58 pm

oh, duh, I was looking at the wrong L and didn't think there was a plural.

2:59 pm

I hear a lot of people doing container stuff.

2:59 pm

(sorry if I gave anything away there!)

she wanted to try it and then kept putting it off. I told her I would do it for her and she said she would get around to it. This year we are going to do it!

Japan has ac4/5s and ac 4/5s of land that was destroyed by the recent tsunami.I saw footage of all the of cars getting sw5/18ed around in the floods.I heard the wa 5/18 of screaming children as they were trying to get to safety.Watching these footages just brought te4/4s to my eyes. I fe4/7 for everyone who has been effected by this. It ai4/4 me the way some complain about how the United States spends too much money to help other countries&not enough helping our own. But some don't ca 4/5 about helping other countries overseas. They're just more concerned with the United States.My friend Ca4/5 is one of those people.I am sick & ti4/4ed of him caring only about the U.S. & not other countries. He is such a tw4/8 sometimes. I wa4/8 to tell him to stop being so selfish for once in his life.Now I am going to watch the show My Name is Ea 4/4. I'll be back later to clue.

the news has been shocking. but...
