lemme think of one...
po + a bride's mate is a *****... minus the extra vowel?
thanks cos, strange word?
u got it? whew!
switch it back to english (canada) - yep, they have their own option
ok if no one needs clues im off to watch the addams family
kje, it was set as English (Canada) and there's no change.
one more? need po5 that comes after the po6
flosey, that po6 is what happened in Czarist Russia against Jews -- and in other places too.
ah, thanks jilli, do you have the po5 that comes after that one?
no, sorry flosey
no idea then, that is the extent of my knowledge ; )
kje, I think a finger hit a stray key when that happened but I don't know which key!
Thanks for trying. Guess I will have to call the techie tomorrow.
po5 - not rich + vowel
po5 is a kind of bear

Hello...

chog is quiet as!!
hello anybody?
yesterday wasa small; this is ridiculous!
hi ruby!!
{{mrp}}
itsy bitsy teeny weeny.....
**hugs** !
but, regardless, I never finish!
at least with the big ones, there is something to play with
oh yes you will!!
i started again yesterday, but didn't finish cause of 'duty of care'
It may be small - but its got ME in it!!!! ((((Ruby)))), ((((Mr President))))
what's that?
this is true!!! how are you feeling, soodle?
Its ME (Minus my bum!!!!)
my bum disappeared about 5 years ago.... :(
I'm good, thank you Rubes. Much much better :-)
I was asking mrp what was "duty of care"
(((soodle!))) how are you??
what bum...? no bums here!
I'm well, thank you Mr P. And how are both of you doing, Rubes & Mr P?
argh... duty of care in football... making sure a 15 year old girl isn't playing in Women's All Age Div 1 football
we have had lots of rain at last, so the garden is like a jungle
the "mauvaises herbes" are taking over, but there are still roses, hydrangeas and lots of fruit
I was strimming the weeds in Jurassic Park (my garden) yesterday, and a stone flew up and shattered the windscreen on my car! So much for gardening being theraputic!!
love gardening!
bad luck, soodle!
I love gardening, but it is really exhausting
My insurance covered it luckily, with no effect on my No Claims Bonus. The windscreen fixers were here at 9.00 am. Great service!
OMG, so****, you are in here!
Thats what I said!!! (minus my bum!!)
I didn't understand
cool soo!
but oodle and oodles aren't in thre grid while da4/7, a racial slur, is
ruby, enable is crap!
I don't understand their rationale
you want rationale from American Dictionary??
must go and join mr. mildly unpleasant. See you later {{big hugs}}
oh ruby! try and keep on top of it all!! luv to you *hugs*
*poof*
Fireworks for me.
Phantom orgasm (sigh).
Morning Kap
morning.
hello again. Is anybody here? it's a funny time
Hi Ruby
hello molly
having Dolce de Leche ice cream for desert! yay
if you had a phantom orgasm, you wouldn't feel like talking either. ;)
I think I remember those, kaplan, but it's been a while!
That's why it's phantom.
and you're young!
Relatively. Or old.
I'd rather eat ice cream
LOL
*poof*
anyone here???
guess not :( need my buddies, but will pray instead :)
nooo.
hii kap!!!!
**hugs** !!
Hi. still busy with my phantom orgasm.
OH now I see it!! LOL
Hi all.
I am stuck with a phantom groom.
He must be the one giving you your phantom, Kap
I have a great prayer for my family... hope you can all take it on board, those that are willing... Lord, I love you and I need you. Come into my heart, and bless me, my family, my home, my finances, and all of my friends, in Jesus' name. AMEN
very simple, very accurate... just need a fusion of luv and prayer from my friends
I am praying for you MrP, in my own (Jewish) way.
thank you so much mich!! luv to your family too!
Thanks!
hello
hi phae!! :)
*hugs* to you
mrp...how did it go with the magistrate?
magistrate told 'the prick' to shut up and get out of court to speak with his lawyer... meanwhile, lickety and I represented ourselves and came out well... although it was very hard. I have updated my bio for you all too
That's great ((hugs))
next court date is 12th Sept, and and the 'defendant' I get to see all their so called evidence before the court date... and who he is calling up as witnesses. ha!
((((((mrp))))))
That gives you time to prepare too
hello all
he called at least six up... I called three. All I could think as he was saying 'I can provide at least six witnesses'... I was thinking, 'you have just lost 6 friends'.
hello peri
hi peri!!*hugs**hugs**hugs**hugs*
sorry, that was supposed to read 'as the defendant'
he'll find that out in the end
peri, I was so calm!! thank you for your energy darling!!
:)
I think of you and your family a lot, mrp and so sorry for all of your issued medial and otherwise.
issues, even
his lawyer and him were instructed by the judge to get out of court and discuss their issues... and as they left the room, my friend (who was sitting in the waiting area having coffee) heard his lawyer say... 'let's go for the jugular'. EECCKKKKK~
I have no doubut that you and lickety will prevail in Sept!!
same here peri... we now have solid evidence that he was involved in our fire... he made an admission without realising!! and we have it recorded!
good for you mrp!!
brb
brb
unfortunately in our law, we can't record anything and submit it to the court... we could get into huge trouble
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{mrp}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
just passing through, have a busy morning, but keeping you and your family in my thoughts
please could i have stats for the 6s

GMorning everyone! :0)
Hi Maryte
:0)
such an odd grid...
With odd words in it. : P
Good Morning :)
OOOOOO. Toooo many oooooooo's.
Hi Judi
Go4 morning. Hey! Soodle's in the grid today!
I noticed that, hooray for Soodle!!
I say, no sending people to the PB for go4. It's a nice word. : D
Mr. P - if you're still here... Round one is behind you and it sounds as if you prevailed over the Prick. Nice to know that he implicated himself in front of a Judge. Is Lickety in a better frame of mind today?
Observation: apparently you can have "oodles", but not one oodle.
I would think the singular, oodle, should be allowed. You can collect them, and then they would be oodles. : D
Obviously, "oodle" is only a figurative noun.
Morning folks
Hiya, Mr. Bob!
It must be lonely being a figurative noun.
Sounds like there should be a "Schoolhouse Rock" song about that.
i tried oodles too
Hello Peoples :)
a
Fireworks!
congrats Judi
Lots of weird words today.
I can toss some clues around if anyone is in need.
ah maybe i should load up on caffiene first lol
Yay Judi! And yes to the Schoolhouse Rock song. It's a shame that show is off the air.
i'm just a bill, sitting here on capitol hill ...
as a canadian immigrant i learned how to sing these before i knew what these things meant

thanks, that gave me the fireworks
ty for the clue , congrats tceicher
and crossy also must head to work but before i go,i give you the tidbit of the day!
President William Henry Harrison gave the longest inaugural address. Unfortunately, he contracted pneumonia and died 30 days later, serving the shortest term.
William Howard Taft once got stuck in a White House bathtub. It took 4 men to pry him out, and he had to have an oversized version brought in for his use.
Just popping in, had another look at the who's hot list and I've been on 1024 for the past three days. I was getting hot flushes but they're dying off. Isn't supposed to be one point up per day? ive completed every one bar one during the past month.
... hot list is your average for the past 30 days ... if you have the one uncompleted in that time ... then every time you complete another ... an earlier one which you also completed drops out of the average ... ... keep going ... one day you drop the uncompleted one from the average ...
thx, I'll just have to keep on completing then.
Good Morning Everybody. I'm *trying* not to chat til I get NBT (or close to it). But you can talk me out of that idea! ;-)
just read your information doseffing ... I didn't know how that hot list worked..Thanks! I've been stuck on 1021 for days
hiya Nef :-)
diane ... it's easy to explain ... but now I must figure out a way to get there myself ...
hi diane. I didn't know that about the hot list doseffing; I never look at those lists these days.
30 days in a row of completing the grid
I guess mine will change when my one incomplete game in the last month, drops off . I just read your profile.... and I agree... "chemo is NOT for sissies". Happily, mine is three years past, and just a "faded memory" :-)))
congrats on your three years, much more important than the numbers on the "hot" list
Yeah ... it was tough ... but so many people had it worse than I did that I can't take too much credit ..
what's the N?
N - opposite of yes + friend
thanks :)
congrats, wv, on completeing the grid for 30 days!
yw
Blessings to both of you for going through what you did. And I hope that cancer chemo will remain just memories too
no, i am currently not at that point - was just explaining what you had to do to get to 1030 - we are travelling too much this summer to accomlish that right now
oh, haha, that's what i get for jumping in
i believed it because i see you here so much (helping!)
thank you wvteach :-)
like to help out whenever i can because others have helped me out so much
And thank you Nef, for kind words. :-)

whoo hooo helen!
really the amount of bad luck i have been having lately at the center has been phenomenal *sigh*
today, things will change for the better. Maybe there is a reason you need to head into your company.
well i am generally an optimistic person
In the morning, I talk to Jesus, telling him my woes. I then ask him to take them and worry for me. :)
good start to the day, snags :-))
grid complaint of the day: if you can have oodles of something, why cant you have just a single oodle??
hmmm i never saw an oodle of something
i like the earlier complaint about pogo as in pogo stick
good grid today? hello everyone?
yeah ... and I just came up with another reason to allow pogo ... ... the game will accept waltz and polka ... so why not go back to the punk rock era of 1979 when we would pogo with all the punkers at the undergraduate pubs?
.... and ... done ... must go get kid who is writing her last high school exam as we type ... happy days ...
yay for almost-high-school- graduate!!!
hi again. I went out to see why the A/C isn't working (not that we need it today; but it hasn't worked the past 2 weeks) and couldn't find a problem. SO the repair man will be here -next week.
Could I please have a clue for that bottom row A? The dictionary doesn't like anything I've tried so far
looks like everyone went to lunch.
hello nef - ag4/6 and pl - monetary thing

ap 4/6 and pl
Good morning, could I get a clue for po6/30 please?

just want more hours in my days lol
hi all
<==sitting on hold with phone company
hi jmc
don't you just hate that...do you have canned music?
35 left maybe i will finish today
yes and it is on a short loop of about 10 seconds
hi jmc and BR and Kailia and tbear and all. (wandering back in after looking for lunch)
hi nef
hi nef
so did you and cosd get together last week?
hey nef
hi tbear not sure i have met you
brb
10 secs??? lol that will drive you nuts!
jmc; are you hearing "my" favorite hold (not!)? dm, dum dum "your call is important... blather blather" them dum dum doo then same message over and over again?
jmc, cos' schedule must have been too full. I worked Thurs and Fri. and we were supposed to get together for breakfast on Sat.; but he never contacted me after I emailed and msged him on FB. :-(
"Thank you for holding ... a representative will be with you in just a moment... we appreciate your patience while on hold... (my dirty little secret: I did those voice on-hold messages for about 400 companies around the northwest... hey, it paid the bills!)
back i am on hold again but at least it is silent
I really don't get the PO6 clues...
*glares at ch1212* I used to like you
(hangs head in shame)
po6 is what you call when the russians came and killed and burned out jews in russia
i forgive you--we all have to eat
i was a telephone solicitor for 4 weeks
DH worked in one of those magazine boiler rooms once upon the time in the 70's. There is no shame in doing what's necessary to put food on the table
gee... the funniest thing that happened was when we advertised for an 'on-hold message' salesperson, and got a call from a woman who wanted to apply. In a heavy southern accent, she told me she had experience as a "mah-saager" until the police shut down the previous place she worked. ..... oh my.
i sold "vacation" real estate
po6 sort of looks like the schedule of events for a concert or play
hi again - thanks BR, for the answer to my ? earlier, appreciate it - had to go make more coffee for Hubs
hmmm, reading back - I worked taking orders on the phone for a "personalized" creation co. a few years back. Not bad work until their customer service dept. quit answering their phones the nearer it got to Christmas, and folks called us instead to complain. It was horrible after that.
rbud, I love your icon. When I clicked on it to see it up close, I also read your profile. What a delight you are! My beloved is also the library director for our small town library. Whereever we go, I hear, "Oh look, there's our librarian! And that's the librarian's wife." :)
Another rainy day here in the NE
Awww, that's neat - some of the kids here are like that when they see me - mostly the homeschoolers, so much more polite than the rest of the kids. Love them, they check out soooo many books and "shush" each other. The rest only want to play games on the pc's and yell! :P
hi bichon - I just had to clear my gutters cause the water was pouring into the basement
Where are you again Harry? We actually have had water in the basement this June. Very unusual and annoying.
I forgot that you are here in CT
new haven - we have old yankee gutters which clog with the slightest twig
and our linden trees shed about 4 times per year - what a hassle
We actually have fairly new gutters, but no gutter shields. With the amount of torrential rain we've had, the overflow. I'll have to get hubby to clear them out when he has time and isn't grumpy
I have a linden tree too.
*hate* linden trees
There are other trees like locust which are annoying too. Then there are the maples which seeds and grow in the garden. Down with trees <ggg>
norway maples are the worst!
We got rid of a Norway Maple.
gotta go disengage the kids - it's that awful time between school and camp, babysitter is gone, and my wife is overseas.
I am not sure about gutter shields. We have just had new gutters and gutter shields but the debris just seems to be lying on the shields. Our neighbours have a lot of oak trees and they create a lot of mess.
30 left - later!
I need new trees in my yard after losing some mature ones this past year; not sure what a linden tree is, but will probably not get one now
It's not any worse than other trees Nef. It's a nice shade tree
it Looks nice: nice shape, etc.
This grid is seriously annoying folks
It's bigger than what we are looking for. We want enough sun so our gardens aren't in shade; I'm actually thinking some friut trees would work best: small enough that they but will provide some shade and will provide some food too
The first 65 words weren't too bad, bichon; but it's definitely a pain now
Fruit trees are tricky Nef. In order for them to produce good fruit, they need to be pruned properly and fertilized
Top n and l are driving me crazy
My backyard is very difficult to grow things in. Besides the Linden, the borders have trees which don't belong to us. We'd like to cut them down.
I have 4 left now, after 2 hours of combing the back chog for clues, not so bad - except for these last 4, lol!
top N is catus fruit no5
oh, and top L = lo4, another word for the last word bichon said at 1:30, haha
(I'm thinking of crab apple or sour cherries, bichon. In our climate there isn't a whole lot of fruit trees that tolerate the weather other than apples; and we won't be here more than a couple of years to harvest any apples. We've decided that we need to live closer to DH's Aunt here in the Cities now.
hello everybody
hi, ruby! :)
hi ruby
hello ruby, the fruit tree expert
ty rbud, got it
Oh? You have fruit trees, ruby?
yqw! - hmmm, if ap6 is a word, why isn't po5 one, too? :P
that's what I say rbud
hey rbud!
just need 3 P's and a C, monkeying away...
hint for the top n
top N is catus fruit no5
top n is like a himilayan country
no +short word for buddy
tyvm Nef
(picked more fruit today) but have made MANY garden mistakes
what mistakes have you made ruby
tiny evergreens which became monsters and had to be chopped down
I have a pine tree that really needs chopping.
one pear (always sick), one aprico (died), one sanguine peach (lots of fruit, then it died
would you like to see garden pix bichon?
I've chopped down 3 pines that the previous owners put in a small space; so don't want to leave that for the next owners
hiya, origami! :)
our houses in our neighborhood are very close together, with a large center green. The people next door never do anything about all the maple trees which grow up near our house. Grrr. Love that weed trimmer
of course ruby
jmcnrick thanks for your message only just saw it :)
my address is in my profile (I think)
checking
yup, send me yours, bichon and I'll regale you with pix
bichon, we are allowed to cut branches that are over our property line IF they are problems
it's funny that po6 is in today and sh6 was in one or two days ago
{{everybody}} got to see the last 3 episodes of desperate housewives (duh me)
I can cut down the branches which grow over our property, but it's the shade that covers our gardens which bother me. Plus they have this forsythia bus which they never prune. We have to prune it
ruby, hint for the po 6, please
my forsythia bush pretty much stays the same size no matter what I do with it. I didn't know they need pruning! (It's about 6ft tall and 6-8 ft in diameter)
clue for no5?
Mine grows out of controlk if not pruned
no + friend
without a buddy, gadget.
Thanks!
Time for me to get busy here. BBL. happy Babbling!
po6 = "an organized massacre - esp. of Jews" Russian/Yiddish origin.

looks like most finished this off earlier.
Hi Sue, how are things going for you today?
pretty good, molly
we met with the lawyer and he is 100% on my son's side
Hello Sue and Molly. hope all is well.
and my son is really listening to him which is great
glad to hear that sue
he will probably not get completely off although we shall see
Hi Red. Good to hear about the lawyer and your boy Sue. Maybe this is going in the right direction after all.
stats for qu please
this is good news though.
(It may turn out to be easier and cheaper to plead guilty to a lesser charge even though he is innocent rather than go to the expense and risk of a trial)
qu 4/8 and qu 5/18
ty molly
Disorderly conduct?
but I printed out a list of all the texts she's sent him since Tuesday and the police agreed this was harassment and are calling her to tell her to cut it out
problems though with employment and such in the future? I am sure the lawyer has gone over it all...
dunno yet, molly, maybe simple battery (rather than domestic), with a fine and supervision and the whole thing being expunged at the end if he behaves himself (which should be no problem)
oh very good.
and red, if the record is really expunged there should be no permanent ramifications
How is your son holding up.
but right now it is very early in the process; we will just have to see how things develop
he is doing ok, has his ups and downs, but the meeting with the lawyer really helped
his father (who is a real moron) posted something really stupid on his facebook but he doesn't seem too down about that, fortunately
You're right Sue, you just have to take these situations as they develop.
glad his Dad is not getting to him.
I do hope he doesn't have to plead guilty to something he didn't do. Maybe when it all comes to light, there will be other options.
we'll see, molly; that would not be my preference either but it might be better than going to trial and losing
As long as you feel like he is in good hands (lawyer wise) I'm sure it will all work out. You must be worn down Sue. I hope you manage a good night's sleep.
I mean, it WOULD be better than going to trial and losing; going to trial and winning would be better, and having them drop the charges completely would be best of all but apparently that is highly unlikely
Hello Babblers
thx, molly - I am leaving in the morning to spend the weekend with my dad (trip planned a couple of weeks ago) so that will be a nice break
hi, wht!
I just found soodle in the grid.
Usually she is in the chat.
just remember sue, we are family here and we all care about you.
aww, thx, doxy :-)
yw sue ((hugs))
What Doxy said Sue, we have your back. Have a great time with your sweet Dad.
Got my fingers crossed and candle lit for you
Sue!! :0)
I will, molly :-)
I will, molly :-)
sorry about the hiccup!
and thx, maryte :-)

Thanks for the Pompom toss and cheers
ok......missing 1 m
16 left for me, have gone to the list
the list helped me Sue
(brain is still partly dead, or preoccupied)
have 4 mo .....
YAY DR1965!!!! WTG!!!!
mi4 Maryte
it is a plural
TY NEF
hi all
Maryte, there is 1 mi and 4 mo's
hi, jmc!
Got It !! thanks!
Hi JMC!!
hmmm 4 mo? i only have 3
YVW Maryte
hi (((jmc.))) How are you today? (I know you were upset earlier)
uu I meant to come back on last night but i was exhausted
mo4/7,mo4/6 mo5/14 mo4/5
np, I have been on and off. you ok?
well i had to drive to baltimore to deliver the newsletters that were sent to my office instead of the mailing company
wow, you've been having real problems with mailings, haven't you?
what a pain!
I have 1 pi and 4 po 's....
ugh..i had the red window of death
How far was that?
and the phone guy still doesn't have my phones completely working but at least we can get phone calls in now (first two days nothing and then 2 days with out going calls only)
2 pi4's
45 miles so not terrible but it put me in rush hour traffic both ways
slow but steady...
YUCK JMC!
uu i wanted to say that i hope you and your son has kept a copy of every text that girl sent
Is it still unbearably humid?
take a screen shot if necessary
ah, bummer. I've gotten so I mostly don't mind traffic unless I am in a hurry but I know lots of people get really stressed out by it
yes it was miserable today
they are all on his phone, jmc, and he is going to figure out how to get them in a more permanent format.
i live where i do in part never to have to drive in rush hour traffic
yuk, jmc. It would probably be worth a delivery company doing it if it was me. I've decided rush hour isn't my favorite driving time
hey sue not sure what is happening..but first find out if your carrier will keep txts...
good i started worrying about that uu
take screen shots sue
digital camera...take pics
no I needed it DONE! no more chances
I did print out just a list of the texts she's sent since Tuesday (while he's been barred from contacting her) and took it to the police, who agreed that it constituted harassment
so they have contacted her and told her to knock it off
i nearly lost it this morning when i found out the boxes that my land lords let the ups lady leave because it was to hard to carry them up to my office had been there since tuesday and they were the newsletters i was waiting to be mailed
yay for the police!
knocking it off wont do it...
need to get a peace bond
WOW! uu, I've missed something; but wishing you well for this
the only reason i found out about them was i worked late and happen to run into her she didn't think it was important
how can UPS NOT be important?
i agree with carlee--go on the attack and sue for a stay away order that is what finally got rid of the xbf of the gf
the lawyer is taking care of that next week, carlee (order of protection)
and the thing is she is being paid to deliver the stuff and we were in the office and she was just to lazy to come up the stairs -- the boxes weren't even that heavy
yay lawyer!
( up here is peace bond ... yay..working for a criminal lawyer...u learn stuff like this :p )
and he is probably going to depose her, too - she is lying and incoherent (at times) and will make a lousy witness
YAY Lawyer indeed!
*wraps uu and son in cotton batting*
that is why dick the butcher wanted to kill all the lawyers -- so no one would go after him
we've also made a complaint about the damage to his room from a couple of weeks ago, and the damage she did to my car during the fight
wow..i've been missing stuff
go uu go!
and he's written a narration of the events (which the police didn't want to listen to at the time) and given that to the police as well
:-D
and we're getting his medical records released to the lawyer (I took him to the doctor as soon as he got out of jail)
( anything like that ....make sure u dble space and one side of paper only )
20 left...
i am so glad i felt bad when i woke up this morning and realized i hadn't said any thing about this stuff--but you have it covered!
it was handwritten on their forms, carlee, so should be good
go jilly go!
and any other letters etc u want the lawyers to see...dble space...large font ( ntr12 ) and one side only
po6/30 cl?
po6/30 cl?
did you keep a copy uu?
and Frank was there with him when he did it (Frank has a law degree although not a license)
ok...but...if u get letters from witnesses....
okie kokie...good
the lawyer will be handling all that now, carlee, and he seems very sharp, I am very happy with him
That must be helpful that Frank has some legal experience. He can help you sort through all the mumbo jumbo.
jmc, there isn't a copy here so they must not have been able to copy it at the police station
indeed, molly!
po6/30 cl?
po6/30 massacre of Jews
Mama.... po6..... genicide program to rid of a group of people...
So I think I missed something. Sue, is there some reason your son can't file for a restraining order?
your lawyer should be able to get a copy
an old fashions milk top with a pop toronto musuem nic name
po6 is what the russians regularly did to the jews mama
he can't while there's still a restraining order agains him, molly, but our lawyer will file one against her as soon as it expires
po + brides mate, less one O
or what molls said
did you get it Mama?
fireworks! ty all!
yay, mama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
whoo hooo mama!
:)
That's good Sue. Seems stupid that he has to wait, but hers is almost expired, yeah?
AWESOME!!!!!! :0) WTG MAMA!!

oh, that's nice, carlee! I like large bodies of water (must have been a fish in a previous life....)
please

huron*
it is what russians did to jews
Clues for the po6 at 7:32...7;33
you seem a tad far north for pools to be super practical :-)
but i am a wimp
the po 6 makes me think of john wayne and how he would say pilgram
Nice there is a pool. Never heard you mention that before. I must have been dozing.
its been 30 C for the last 2 weeks jmc
i was thinking of the 3 feet of snow carl :-)
well..when for 6 months of the year u are aclimatized to sub freezing weather..the 100F weather is a bit...extreme to the senses...we open may 24 weekend..and close labour day
thanks carleecat

My hot tub is porcelain and in the bathroom. : (
snap sue
nm...that was the 6

*~*~*POMPOM TOSS*~*~*for west
whooo hooo cwest
it is the same size as a regular tub and as i recall only cost $20 more
yay, cwest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i took him for his final shot today..young man didnt wantt o go as i guess last time he yowled..and e couldnt stand to hear him yoel...
bought in 1987 and still works fine
i am sorry to report that the Roy Rogers Museum is officially closed.
i cant type tonight...i should just drink and then i would be excused from typing
<==bows head in respectful silence
Well, after my budget gets over what I'm going to have to pay to replace a toilet, I will continue dreaming about such a tub.
hmmmm drink that is a good idea carlee
*Bows head in respectful silence as well*
well you would sh** if I told you what i am spending to fix up my house
all i have is wine...i am so not in the mood for wine
and yet facing unemployment
Well then, thank God I'm getting a new toilet. Ahahaha!
u would s*** if u knew what dxh and i spent to fix up the house
:-( sorry carlee i would give you some jack if i could
haha molly right!
i want a beer
beer is fattening
but thanks jmc..i would take jack if offfered.... neat or on the rocks...hmmm..neat i think
mix wine with club soda and add a little lemon juice
I always wonder about fixing up a house to sell it. It's a precarious equation as to what you recoup for what you spend fixing it up.
*pour carlee jack neat* the best way and pretty much the only way i drink it
well...we invested about 16K into fixing up...did it ourselves...
could have sold as is.../ was for about 165=170
if you spend mainly on cosmetics and put the real bucks in the kitchen and/or baths. . .
- 170K but with the 16K we should get low 240's
well done carlee it looks good
the kitchen was done...
so was bathrooms, deck, new interior doors and the driveway
what you can buy in DC for that price is a row house with no yard and probably no appliances in a "transitional" neighborhood
and a crap load of paint
paint is good
our neighbourhood is fairly high end...not executive mind....
upper middle.....just below executive
executive here is 300K ....all way up to 2.5 mil
( that would be the 3+ acre lots on the lake with 5+ bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and 4 car garages )
http://tinyurl.com/6lbc753
this is a house my son is looking at
i got a list of seeveral
which one is he looking at which price
which ML #
how odd i thought i gave you just one--the one at 3228 Sherman
is a good starter
http://franklymls.com/DC7633153 here
( another thunder storm happening here..we have had 3 1/2 inches of rain in last 36 hours )
i think so--the best part is the basement opens to the front of the house
wow, carlee, that is a lot of rain!!!
we looked at this other one that i am fairly sure belonged to a drug dealer
that god we on sand else we would be flooding
here we have had tons of rain and yet we are watering brown spots in the lawn...ahhh summer :(
mirrors everywhere and when they went bankrupt they took all the appliances
it came up home not found jmc
looks like it needs a little work, jmc, but a nice starter place
Take the "here" off the url
i did take the here off
I don't know DC, is that a reasonable neighborhood?
Oh, well I did and it worked for me. JMC, I am appalled at the housing prices in DC.
Nice price for DC!
well my house is a semidetached with no a/c and is supposedly worth $550,000
it is an up and coming neighborhood--you won't get shoot at but you may be burgled
<===when was son's age lived in neighborhoods where getting shot was a possiblity
Just a DC address will jack up a house price considerably. Especially with all the young ones wanting to live in the city.
needless to say i want better for my boy than I had
true there are houses across the border in MD that are $100K to $200k less for the same thing
evening all!
hi dan
an look at little miss 2bit!
man..i am knackered...
hi dan
Hey 2Bit
knackered???? people actually SAY that???
*double twisting triple backflip with sprinkles on top*
got my last mo!
Stid, the Canadians think they are Brits...please play along. : P
(so much for lurk mode....) *grin*
clearly stiddie isn't knackered
i say it all the time...
{{{stiddy}}} triple back flip with a 1 1/2 twist
I just got up from a (k)nap actually... I was pretty beat an hour ago! LOL
*sits in chair and gets tired watching*
what is wrong with knackered?
From what little I know about real estate around here, he could get a smaller place, in better condition, in a safer neighborhood if he looked outside DC.
fine..i will play along....am so tired my eyes are peeing..is that any better?
hi, stid!
yeah but he wants to be a real estate mogul
*Fluffs Carlee's pilow, fixes her a stiff drink and puts some nighty night music on*
*wonders for the 3000th time where she went wrong*
mogul?
Is he planning to flip the place?
*hands carlee a piece of TP for her eyes*
who went wrong why?
no he wants to be a landlord
Echoing Sue. How does buying that place make him a real estate mogul? And you did nothing wrong JMC. Where they go once we are done raising them is not on us.
ah...hence the basement openning to front yard
oh, ugh. I've been a landlord and it sucks.
if you had asked me i would have said he would grow up to be an elementary school teacher
going to have to sign off for night...have fun all!!
no no i know that molly but it lingers
bye jilly!
sorry, wandered off briefly.
nie nite jilly
bye jilly!
night, jilly!
evening all, wandering in and out myself...
hmm..deink or banofee pie?
well we are already landlords since we can't sell the double wide in NC
drink* even
hi rth
Yeah, well my oldest is supposed to be a successful artist, with me attending gallery showings every other weekend. So much for what we thought.
ooo what's a banofee pie?
i have heard of it but don't know what it is
its a toffee/ caramel bottom with cream and bananas on top
hi, red!
carlee, your eyes are peeing??? *offers handy tin pail to use as catch basin*
hold on will grab u the recipe jmc...dead easy to make
Carlee, isn't that pie a little on the old side by now?
damn this supportive without being a helicopter parent stuff is hard
I have had it, sans bananas, very tasty.
( well..y'all didnt like me being knackered...so my eyes are peeing )
<--- glad to be merely a homeowner and NOT a landlord...
sounds like shoo fly pie with bananas
no shit, jmc!!!!
its still in the fridge and edible
(the parenting comment, that is)
oh, right. I didn't NOT like it, just had never actually heard the expression outside of things like "Are you being served?" and the like.
<---Will never be a landlord..considers it a nightmare kind of thing.
(i gave her toilet paper but apparently it wasn't enough)

(((sue))) just saw you there!
i understood uu
LOL jmc!
used more by canadians and brits, I think (knackered, that is)
when i dated my gorgeous scottish man in my early 20's i picked it up...never lost it...
ooooo digestive biscuits! i love it!
knackered, loo, boot, bonnet, bins....
oh, I see! *wonders where gorgeous scottish man is now*
its dead easy to make jmc....
petrol, biscuits...
don't forget bob's your uncle!
he is in...sault ste marie ...married...
interesting - I dated a brit when I was about 20 myself...
no better than she should be
<---Still doesn't understand why they can't universally be called "graham crackers". Digestive biscuits???
LOL I had an uncle bob (well, he was my great-aunt's husband), but he died.
i *ahem* dated an irish man named paddy
cus they are not the same thing
graham is a brand name
but my favorite was al shabammy from alabammy
not any more i think stiddie
and they are somewhat different, graham crackers are a little less sweet and more textured
graham crackers are more...honey flavoured...and digestives are more of a meal...its like comparing bran flakes to corn flakes..graham crackers being the corn flakes
No, graham is not a brand name anymore.
heading out. okay, time to get serious about writing thank you notes to the people who have been so kind and supportive of me this past quarter ... **hugs and lots of choclits**
bye, stid!
bye stid
later stiddy...{{hugs}}
<---Still wonders why anything has to be tagged "digestive". Sounds like a laxative.
i have 3 sa 4 sl and 2 so what am i missing?
why do you think Dr Pepper got its name? people used that as an excuse
sc4/6
how did dr pepper get its name?
ty uu
( craving a dr pepper now)
s+ slang for police officer
hiya dawg
Yes, but we no longer believe that Dr. Pepper is anything more than soda pop.
it was the quicker pepper upper--that is why soda fountains were at pharmacies
hi carlee, hi everyone!
most of that stuff was originally sold as medicinal
hi, lbd!
hi lbd!
wasn't dr. pepper reconstituted prune juice?
hi UU, Hi Jmc
not that i know of lbd
I guess that's why those folks in Boston still refer to soda as tonic.
hmm...tonic water
son just blewin..and blew out.he going to get me a dr pepper :)
Dr Pepper was first created in 1885 by Charles Alderton, a pharmacist who was working at Morrison's Old Corner Drug Store in Waco, Texas, at the time.
in part molly
what a nice son carlee
should be i am dogsitting for him
snopes says the prune juice story is a hoax
yup, just read that, jmc

some of the east coast stores there carry our presidents choice products,,, its a new pc flavour
silly me not to remember to try slur words for ethnic groups
I swear, one day we are all going to log onto Babble and find it gone because the Mafia took it out for having that word in the grid so often.
those were a couple of my last ones too jmc
haha molly
That is a seriously not nice word, way more degrading than the w word.
really? i am not up on my slur word nuances
15 left.....1st time playing this game, referred by someone while playing boggledash on pogo.
really the helicopters around here are getting ridiculous
hi taz welcome to the grid
well done!
thx jmc :)
i still have 19 left
a lot different then boggle dash for sure
hi, taz! Welcome!
yes slower but it has it's own charm--especially the chog
and go, jmc!!
ty sue :)
welcome, Taz.
you compete primarily with yourself
evening all
PINI!!!!
copo
(there are exceptions)
hi jmc, uu, taz (welcome), lbd, et al!
hi, pini!
hiya jmc ;)
hi Pini!
*crew day 1 done!*
how many pini? (bet you are done)
crew day?
uh, done already ;)
i figured :-D
the guys who are doing 'restoration' work :)
what are you restoring
howdy alll...whew! that was a long hard day of dealing with citiots in vacation land:)
they emptied my dining room and tore up the carpet...now it's air drying
careful who you call name crossy!
i have dealt with them for over 30 years..i am allowed
did you have a flood?
hi, crossy!
:)
howdy sue:)
washer hose burst
well i am nice to the hicks that come here ;-)
bummer pini
i do not mean your specific city jmc;)
*pokes crossy*
hehe
bummer, yes; but, on a good note, the carpets are going to be replaced!
by the insurance?
vacation, crossy? enjoy it extra for me...
yay!
you betcha, jmc...
tomorrow they're going to work in the garage...
no no pini he means they are on vacation bothering him
wow that was some flood!
crossy you been getting mcuh rain?
guesstimating the water geiser ran for 4-9 hours
had a woman in the station in her pink!!! bmw,had michigan plates on it..she was bent right out of shape because we did not sell fuel in gallons.she asked me where the nearest "competant station" was that sold fuel in normal gallons and i told her 3 hours drive south that way and pointed in the general direction of niagra falls lol
tons of rain carlee
goodness! no one home then?
nice guide, crossy! :)
lol crossy
no, jmc...I was at work (Koda was with me, too)
oh, sistah...didn't see you pop in ... HI
gues her hubby drove up and she had never dealt with metric system b4
thank goodness koda was with you! he could have been drowned!
americans can be very embarrassing sometimes, sorry about that, crossy!!
no problem if you forgive us our poultine:)
same..we have had 3 1/2 inches in last 36 hours and it is still raining
not sure he would have drowned and definitely positive he couldn't have alerted the neighbors or anything...
we have not had quite that much carlee
heheeh that funny crossy ( the gasoline story )
it is eating hamburgers with a knife and fork i find hard to forgive
...it was fun trying to get to the water valves to turn them off...felt like I stepped into Old Faithful in full eruption!
yeah even lassie couldn't have said the hose is busted
my mother does that, jmc...it's disturbing
depends on how messy the hamburger is, jmc
lol@ nice guide pini,anything in imperial measure is all sough so easy to guide
that is what napkins are for (and licking fingers)
it is the honest truth carlee..then wen i would not take american funds!! well that was it!! lol
did we scare you off tax?
er Taz
never liked drippy foods. but then i also didn't like my food to touch.
how rude of you crossy! i am always getting stuck with canadian pennies and quarters
yikes you would have a hard time eating at my house lbd!
no still here
lol jmc..our dollar is worth 3 cents more on the american atm..hold on to those canuck bucks
how's it going? people will give clues if you get stuck
yet we pay more for paperback books etc
now they are crossy but that is just now
this is kinda frustrating this game, I know I'm just not used to it yet. But some of these words are just weird.
i will not lose 3 cents on every u.s greenback when i make 4 cents a litre on the fule..and the banking fees to wash that american stuff
13 left
yeah we bitch about that a lot around here taz
fuel
lol
fi4/7 for example
lol, taz, as you stick around for a while you will see that we all think they are weird too :-)
we pay much more for books carlee..not fair
when you came in you saw another perennial bitch--the slur words
I don't get your example
f+anagram of what we breathe
when people put a reference like fi4/7 in the chog, they're asking for a clue for a word that starts with fi, is 4 letters long, and worth 7 points
taz, if you go to lickety's babble clues, you'll find a list of two letter "clues" to help you finish the grid.
ty jmc
fiar
its the shipping costs crossy
that's the one taz! lol
indeed jmc..there are many hands out for a piece of the pie
ah, taz, if you look at the word list it gives you the letters and the points in each word, so fi4/7 is a 4-letter word beginning with fi and having 7 points (and you did type it correctly :-)
oops. gotta remember to switch back over to the add word box...lol sorry about that.
but keep it in the add word!
Hey Cross, I saw a pillow that had baco and eggs and a full breakfast all appliqued on it, I swear I was thinking of making it for you...
you get a few like that before we send you to the penalty box!
we all do it sometimes, taz, and get sent to the penalty box when it happens - but it happens often enough that the penalty box is usually stocked with some nice treats
hi red!
lol :)
i just restocked the jack daniels
hello again jmc...
oh did we speak earlier today---it has been so long and rotten!
and i have pink lemonade icecream in there
O I C sue, thx for the tip
i've been in and out.
np :-)
my phantom today is poodle
Heyas kids ..
hi torg
hi torg.
hi, torgone!
mmm red..bacon pillows....
I have been seeing poodle as well!
someone say jd?
sounds messy crossy
*pours crossy a glass* ice? soda? water?
the smell would not be there, so it would just be purely decorative.
would you like a glass too taz?
Is the so5 a normal word?
no torg
Oh good ..

pb torg
And .. RIGHT into the pb ..
:-)
maybe if you had some diet pepsi to go w/it :)
brb - phone
you know you missed it
*blech* but we aim to please *looks in pb icebox*
*pours diet pepsi in with jack and hands to taz*
I see u gotta pay to put your pic on here. Still 14.95 isn't bad. ooooh thx jmc
you get fire works and after two weeks of trial you no longer get the number of words and some other things
it is a one time charge and well worth it
<===not a paid spokeperson
and besides the pic you get to keep the tile and word stats - otherwise they go away after the trial period
what uu said--i said it badly
it's a lifetime membership, taz. well worth it! and lots of international cyber friends
I think it is the best investment I have made via the net. really.
definitely worth the one time payment...
we are quite chummy here
maybe in a couple mths, having a lot of trouble with medical bills piling up, and being on disability, I don't get very much
and diet pepsi with jd???
lol carlee
passing crossy a misty jack
Yay! Monkeyed the so5 whilst I was in the pb ..
Hi babblers! Not really chogging. Saving last 2 words.
wd torg!
hi min
hi, min!
I want to let you know I have story of clues in profile.
well I for sure couldn't handle it straight, so diet pepsi was the only thing I could think of, not much of a whiskey drinker
<---- puts some beer and wine in the pb
hi minver...
*POOF*
<--- misty jack in the pb too
ty min and bye
well i could add club soda or water
or we have lots of wine and beer
ty uu
I have water, I think I am the lone non drinker in here...
in the "pb" ???????
my mum always had rye and water..yeuck....
<---- puts out some crackers and a selection of cheese
no you may be at this moment red but there are other nondrinkers in babbleland
hmmmm...gin and tonic..now that would be refreshing abut now..or gin and lemonaid..i think i need to get seom gin this week
(pb=penalty box)
ahhh
personally I only drink in the pb
maybe then just for right now.
lol carlee you have been wandering from one lust to another!
i drink at home and the pb! haha
i know... i am in an odd mood
i'm a non-alcohol drinker. but cyber drinking is okay. lol
well you are back home in babbleland
:D
favorite drink is a Blue Motorcycle blended w/ice. Don't know whats in it, but whenever I go to the bar I get it.
( and i only drink if i am in a good mood...)
*grabs carlee's hand and skips around the chog dragging her* hahahahaha
Love Sangria also if it's made right. UV Bombs, Yager Bombs......mmmmmm!
hmm tequila and blue curacoa
ok - back
did I miss much?
goodness taz!
did you meet taz?
yeah think that's in it, I kinda like the fruitier type mix drinks
oh, good, pini, I think these people need some adult supervision!
hahaha jmc
not formally...yet
since when did I make the designated adult list???? LOL
taz where u from?

Hi Pini :) 1st day here, e1 has been really nice

I'd make an HPS, but have none of the stuff to do so... * sigh *
just our luck, eh, sistah?
or should I say, "Sucks to be us!"
*smiles at full glass*
be prepared is what i say!
taz, how are you coming with the grid?
wb jmc
12 left, trying everything too
have you checked out Lickety's Babble Clues (the link below the grid?)
i am catching up 14 left
if you open it in a new window, resize and set next to your browser/grid window, you'll see the list of words with the first two letter, length, and point value
trying to figure out why in the tile stats, for the letter "A", there's 2 of them. One says o/2 & the other 2/3?
no I sure haven't. I really haven't ventured off to see what everything is yet.
the A 0/2 means there are two words that start with that A
that means that you have found none of the 2 words from that A and 2 of the 3 words from the other A
that's how many of the words that start with that letter you've found, taz
so for the upper right A, there are three words and you've found two of them
the help^ is actually helpful unlike some webpages
means u have found0/2 from that a and 2/3 of the other a for a total of 5 a words
gee..arent we a bundle of help tonight....
love how we all say the same thing yet so slightly different
and besides the help link above, there's all of us talking in different directions :-)
:-) i was just thinking that
as pini said...
That's weird to me, how come they just didn't put it all together for the "A's" like 0/5, why have them seperate? Might seem like a silly question to u all but remember I'm new
and carlee...
its the stat for that one tile
if they lumped them together, we'd be here all night and never finish, taz!
ahhh
we could have 3 or 4 s's and a total of 60+ s words..it lets you know how many words for that one tile
it helps especially when there are similar letters next to a tile so you know if you are look for as or ap
if you look at the Tile Stats, it mimics the actual grid and identifies how many words come from and start with that particular tile
it's giving you the starting tile, taz
i smell a skunk outside..yack
ewwwww
*gathers up the various thread thrown out for the last question*
* closes sistah's windows *
newbie are welcome here taz
it's also nice when there aren't any words starting on a particular tile (there are quite a few in this grid) - then you don't waste time looking for words that aren't there
just forwarned...those stats are gone in 2 weeks time
Last one!! po5/12 ...........
i have a friend named gori
what the russians did to the jews regularly mary
add a vowel to the po4, maryte
that the po6 jmc
you're right, sistah, the tiles stats disappear after the 2-wk free period...will return if you upgrade for a low (and very reasonable) one-time lifetime membership!
(and ignore jmc, she's cluing the po6)
north and south are po5 opposites
what is the membership..like 20.00?
sorry [blush] *hides in corner*
(and, yes, I know you know that, was just saying in case Taz is reading)
closer to $15 carlee
I think it's still at abt $15
lol
<---pours jmc another jd... here u go dear
and well worth it!!!
$14.95 I think
ok...at the time for me with the $ it was close to 20cdn
* looking forward to hearing taz say s/he got FIREWORKS! *
*meekly* ty carlee
13 left :-(
ooohh..primping the sparkling newbie pompoms....
hmmmm, curious about the fireworks
git'r dun, jmc!
there's your incentive to finish the grid, taz!!!!!
GOT IT!!! THANK YOU!! :0) THANKS TO EVERYONE!!!
you get a video of fireworks instead of the tile stats when you find all the words, taz
do newbies get fireworks?
wtg maryte
yay, maryte!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
whooo hoooo Martye!!
whooo hoooo mary!
sure do, lbd...for the first 2 wks
*~*~*pompom toss*~*~*for maryte
yes, as long as the tile stats are still there, lbd
i don't remember lbd i think maybe the first 2 weeks
*looks down blushing*
when the trial period is up, all the "bells and whistles" go away...
it's been forever since i was a newbie...can't remember that far back!
...but, for that one-time minimal fee, they can be there for the rest of one's playing life!!! :)
(gads, I sound like a friggin' car salesman)
bells & whistles? I hear none of those
(Dr God didn't pay pini either)
otherwise known as stats and fireworks, taz :-)
no you don't, Pini. you sound like someone who believes in the product.
ok, smartypants, I can see you're going to fit in with us just fine!!! LOL
good point, jme ;)
thx lbd...must admit, I love playing!
* jmc
ie....this is a lovely place to hang...
i love the game and the people!
sometimes i just come here to hang....and dont bother playing..then i get annoying and drop words in the chat ;P
ahhh,, appreciate u all cluing me in on stuff
ditto, sistah
it is--lots of us come bye even when we aren't playing
we be down right friendly folk here, taz...
and some of us are ocd, and have to play
there have been some babble meet ups...
and some of us are just plain nuts
and a lot of us hang around and chat even after we've finished the daily puzzle
<-- met jmc!!! we were roommates!
oh my! just seen on top of the grid....a time limit! lol
24 hours to complete each grid, taz
the puzzle changes every day
it flips at midnight US Central time, taz
24 hours, taz.
it flips at midnight CST
only till midnight central time taz you have 2 hours left
okay
and the flip is something else!
hahaha...flip is a riot
and this is about the time clues are really flying! lol
<==likes to watch
clues are gonna fly!!!
(at the flip)
well..last hour anyway
(just have to practice speed reading to keep up!)
10 left
then...flip..no clues happen..everyone jsut calls out the words they find...po6,20
go, jmc!
git'r dun, jmc!
unless it's a really fast grid, then sometimes it can get really quiet just before the flip
kinda staking claiim to the words...
hahah...sometimes its just quiet all day on a bitty grid of 40 or so words
Taz....I'm pretty new here and really recommend this game. The game is fun and the people here are the best!!!!! I go on and off through the day when I have a few minuets. LOVE IT!
then..there are the monsters....
that's nice to hear Mary :)
i hate the monsters...but there are those who adore the monsters
monsters? you mean *whispering* TROLLS????
the flip humbles me. i can't keep up with those folks! they are totally amazing at how fast they see the words and all.
me no like no stinkin' trolls!
no..i mean the grids of 450+ words
8
oh, THOSE monsters!!!
don't talk them up
OK
:o)
dont talk up trolls or 450 + grids
we haven't had a troop of tromping trolls for a while. (knocks on wood)
school is getting out soon...
* knocking on wood *
some of the flippers still come an play with us mere mortals though
they will be tromping soon
i play at the flip if i am up and cant sleep
hush all of you--you will be talking them up!
ok...let's just talk about those monster grids!
my preference is 200-300 words...
200 on the weekdays, bigger on the weekends
i can't remember the last time i was at the flip...darn work hours get me to the pillows way too early.
i like about 250
i like the 125-200 word ones...
nicely big enough it was a puzzle..not so big u get tired...
the 450's burn me out and i dont want to look at a grid for weeks
and i usually dont
same here, sistah...thankfully we don't have a ton of those!
depends on my work day, like small ones around 100 for the days i work late, otherwise, 200-275 is good. bigger than that slows my machine down.
pini are we twins?
I think so, sistah!
* giggle *
6 left
twin sisters of different mothers?
...anything under 100 I feel like I have to finish before going to sleep! :-/
that's right, lbd!
insomnia and travel lets me wander through the different groups of babblers
...and, to think, we've never actually met!
thats like me jmc..i usually find u here..no matter what time i appear
go, jmc!
to think pini...hey are u on fb?
i have to be really awake for the early group. their clues can be rather obscure.
yes, ma'am
yeah sometimes i stay awake until 3 other time i wake up at 4
and do i have u on fb?
I think you do :)
( my email is my name@hotmail.com )
lemme check

Hi everyone hope you are all well
it is a good and easy grid pini!
hi terri
plural everything
this one or the next?
hi terri! **hugs**
i am not a clairvoyant for the next grid!
(if you mean this one, I finished an hour after starting at flip) :)
but this is doable in 40 min
have been hanging out this evening offering clues ;)
and here I though you had an "in" mrp!
alls well with me, terri...the insurance company is replacing my kitchen, dining room, hallway, and living room floor covering due to water damage :)
yourself?
!!~ *F*I*R*E*W*O*R*K*S* ~!! for me!!
wtg mrp!!! :)
wish I did pini!!
me, too!
Yeah, I'm going well. Nice to get a new kitchen pity it was a bad way to get it.
true...but well, looking at it as a blessing in disguise...
...what's a little inconvenience if you get new flooring? Oh, and since the hose burst in the garage, they're emptying that out, too...if my girls wanted anything they left behind, it may be too late!...I'll get my house back!!!! *wicked grin*
Glad you were covered. Hope it all goes well. Excuse me, have to attend to something. Be right back.
thx ... I'm glad I'm covered, too! They guesstimated yesterday would be about $4-5K to 'restore' everything...I just pay my deductible ... we'll see
* going to find jammies - brb *
bbs... need a glass of something for this friggin nasty flu I have!!
oh, do feel better soon, mrp
(back)
am sending lickety out for some brandy
and wine
nice combo! :)
I swear all the drugs in my system will have a party!!
no doubt! and a fun one!
pini, you playing lexulous on FB??
hi everyone, and my gosh mrp, you just keep smiling through it all! You are one amazing lady
hi flosey ;)
hi Pini
how're ya doin'?
great thanks, and you?
all things considered, not too bad ;)
thanks flosey!! Luv to you!!
eewwww!! my dog makes these throw up sounds... can't cope with that today!!
I was reading back, quite an experience you had - but all replacement flooring has to be something to look forward to
mine does that, too, mrp...it's so not a lovely sound!
I'm back -- can't respond to any emails all of a sudden.
that's how I'm looking at it, flosey...can't wait!
Hey do you all recall the song "I want a new drug" by Hewie Lewis and the News??
hi jilli
vaguely, mrp ;)
I am posting it on facebook from youtube!!
wb jilli...sorry to hear about the glitch
Ye gods, mrp -- not the flu on top of everything else!
don't recall anything like that mrp
must have found a good version, mrp ;)
yes jilli.... soon as I stepped into that court room!! started coughing
it has happened every single time I go to court
oh, soooo not good, mrp...hope the drugs and alcohol do their magic! :)
my body just has a total shutdown
thanks pini! they certainly will!
Allergic to courtrooms! Not surprising. :0(
it's probably his body odor that sets it off...maybe you should offer him a bar of soap
and Dimetapp chaser!!
ROFL
I hold my nose when I drive past his house!!
you've got it down, mrp!
that must look cute mrp
* giggle *
yes, allergic to pyro's, pricks and stalkers in any courtroom
what a combination
the magistrate was totally on my side
what was the "incident" which set him off, mrp?
she told 'the prick' that she was happy to hear that all was quiet on the western front as "Mrs P doesn't need anymore distractions in her medical condition".... hahahaha! she told him
jilli, it is all in the bio... but it was all over a friggin dog!!
you have to read it
I read the bio but didn't see what set him off -- a dog?
I'll read it again
"He blamed me for a fire of some rubbish on his driveway and damage to his car (coining)" in your bio, mrp -- what has this to do with a dog?
what a read! * fingers crossed * I'm sure it will be resolved in your favor!
(didn't recall seeing a 'dog' either)
since the dog incident... he has blamed me for everything cause he is phychotic, obsessed and a stalker
gotcha
what dog incident?
we lost nothing... absolutely nothing when his dog was taken away, he was the one that had to pay $650 to get his K9 back
was arson ruled out for the fire?
How is it he thinks I want to get HIM back???
oh, will update that in the bio jilli His dog was here on our property for weeks
I'm confused -- know nothing about the dog...oh, thanks, mrp
we called, we spoke, we did everything we could to ask them to remove their dog (they live about 700m from us) and he didn't give a shite about the dog. even told me to run it over, or pick it up and dump it in the bush.
oh, nice guy.
what an a$$
said he hated it and wasn't willing to do anything... lickety called him and told him to get his dog or he would call the ranger... his response?????
"I don't give a F*** about the dog, do what you want".
yep, a royal jerk
yes pini, we call him 'the prick' just to make sure he has a lovely monika
moniker even!
* making a note of the well deserved name *
1 minute to go!! 350 please
The Prick isn't a bad enough name for that subhuman.
too true
