12:52 am

sorry flosey... I can't see any chat until just now

12:52 am

12:53 am

hubby opened the door behind me and now I have a moth flying around and bumping into walls, etc. gotta get him

go flosey go!!!

12:57 am

hi all -- I'm late. Went out for dinner with a friend and we lingered. Then I had groceries etc to unpack...

12:57 am

cock-a-do indeed!

well, the house is being sold

1:08 am

oh stid -- GREAT icon!

.... oh dear me... I just wanna cry now

1:08 am

that's good mr p

1:08 am

*shining brightly for jill* glad you like it!

i guess so ruru, but i don't want to move! I luv it here... but move on and move up I guess

1:09 am

nbt

1:09 am

wait wait. YOUR house is being sold, mrp? *confused mama look*

1:09 am

go jill go!

1:09 am

further away from mr head

1:09 am

why is your lovely house being sold? Are you renting?

yes stid... selling it in september

1:10 am

ruru, you were in yesterday's grid.

we need to get away from the prick

1:10 am

I am so sorry, mrp (((hugs)))

the court cases will be dealt with by November, so want to be out of here by then

1:10 am

Why, mrp, if you like itthere?

1:10 am

oh dear, mrp -- that's awful.

1:10 am

I think though, that being in a safe location will be such a relief.

jilli, the threats are too great and causing me unbelievable stress... I have to move away from it or will have heart failure

1:11 am

relieving the stress is definitely important, mrp.

if his house goes up for sale before then... perfect... but can't count on it... time to move on

1:12 am

Well, I hope you can find a place you like even better, mrp

if you look up on google, houses in sydney with 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, double lock up garage and private beautiful views... you will see how much they are... postcode 2077

we spoke to the owner of the biggest agency in Sydney... he will ensure we get a perfect place

1:14 am

sounds good, mrp

thanks... need to be happy and safe

1:16 am

there. down to 100.

1:16 am

you certainly do

1:16 am

wow, stid-the-speedster!

1:16 am

mrp, hang in there. you deserve to be happy and safe. all of you do. *sending healing vibes southward and westward*

thanks stid :)

1:18 am

sweet dreams all *poof*

will go and sort some dinner for my darlings... brb!

bye stid! :)

1:19 am

bye stid, ttfn mrp

1:22 am

1:29 am

1:35 am

oh -- you read my writeup!

1:35 am

yes

1:37 am

amazing!

1:37 am

I usually do.. almost every day

1:38 am

really? I never would have guessed. Thank you for doing so!

1:44 am

many of them are really good, very informative

1:45 am

many of them a lifted from wikipedia, lol!

1:45 am

doesn't matter...I learn a lot from them

1:46 am

so do I, ruru

1:46 am

I didn't sleep at all last night.. I feel for mr p

1:47 am

oh dear, ruru -- why?

1:47 am

leg cramps..

1:48 am

ouch -- I know about those. That's why I have a banana and milk at bedtime. Maybe it's coincidence but it seems to prevent them.

1:49 am

i wrecked my knee and now I have leg cramps..ugh.. this getting older is for the birds

1:49 am

yeah -- not for sissies

1:52 am

Tere's a California city in the grid which always makes me think of Danny Kaye, long ago.

1:52 am

good night jilli...love ya

1:53 am

Sleep well, ruru dear *hands ru a blankie and gives him a wee kiss goodnight*

1:59 am

anybody here now?

2:02 am

hi jilli, just back from kitchen

2:12 am

Here in my car I feel safest of all I can lock all my doors Its the only way to live In...

ok, kitchen is done!!

hahaha flosey! we are both slaves to our kitchen tonight!

douglas, that sounds like lyrics to a song!

2:14 am

Are any of those words in the grid? I don't think so!

2:15 am

Ca4 by Gary Numan, a song that helps me to fondly recall the 80's

2:20 am

flosey, I went to the kitchen too and just got back, lol!

2:21 am

and mrp too!

2:23 am

down to 60, better be off to bed

2:23 am

goodnight all

2:26 am

wow flosey -- I'm not even halfway -- but then I was over an hour late starting

2:26 am

gnight flosey

2:26 am

you were out having fun, that's most important

2:27 am

down to 53 and I'm out - poof

2:31 am

wd flosey -- and yes, fun is good :-)

2:33 am

I made a mistake and got 3 words for a couple of tiles, before I got 2 words for every tile. : (

2:34 am

there there, doug, the world won't end

2:36 am

You reminded me a Dr. Seuss quote "If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good"

2:38 am

Both my son and I were the wrong generation for Dr Seuss -- well, at least he got to read them to HIS kids, but I never did. I'll have to catch up -- I know he was wonderful.

2:40 am

going to try and sleep again...good night jilli

2:42 am

goodnight douglas -- sleep well

2:42 am

well, I'm well over halfway now

2:52 am

and it's bedtime, so goodnight if there's anyone here, and *poof

2:58 am

good morning all

2:59 am

*unpoof* hello sprite

2:59 am

hey jilli :)

3:00 am

am on my holiday address... have a computer here, no Expert of course, so pls forgive any booboos

3:01 am

glad you were able to make it at all -- are you having a nice holiday?

3:02 am

so far it is lovely. We are house-sitting for friends and the house is soooo nice! And close to another friend. She was here yesterday, will come back today an we will go out for dinner... and tomorrow to a spa/sauna.

3:02 am

then saturday my love and I go back home to pick up our kids from summer camp, and then back here :)

3:02 am

sounds great! How far is it from home?

3:03 am

far for dutch people, close by for most of you. About a 3 hour's drive.

3:04 am

but a different ambience, I bet

3:04 am

good weather?

3:04 am

yes, quite different. We live close to the coast, and this is close to germany, more of a land climate.

3:06 am

weather is off and on, sunny now, very rainy yesterday. But we will enjoy ourselves either way.My love and terra went canoeing yesterday, not minding the weather, and had a great time.\

3:06 am

btw, if you're hoping to see rubyfoo here, there was a message from (I think) une to say she had been talking to her and she had been having technical problems but would be back asap

3:06 am

oh ok, very frustrating for her :(

3:07 am

well, canoeing=water -- a lake maybe? A river?

3:07 am

lol yes, some lakes (not big, but nothing here is big except the IJsselmeer), lots of canals, some tiny rivers.

3:08 am

I can just picture Terra sitting in a canoe!

3:08 am

and the waters along farmland... don't know the english word and don't have dictionary here.

3:08 am

jilli what would you like for a feast in the pb?

3:09 am

irrigation?

3:09 am

let me see if I can find it on the internet\

3:09 am

uh oh -- what did I say?

3:09 am

I mean ditch

3:10 am

jilli, you and me both... the boat my love loves to paddle

3:10 am

oh yes, I remember -- well, sprite and I will enjoy each other's company there, although she added an ing so it may not count.

3:11 am

oh yes, ditch -- but I don't think you'd go boating in a ditch

3:11 am

so... lots of ditches here of course. And yes, we go boating there. A ca5 doesn't need much water after all.

3:12 am

don't mind me -- busy at work -- just happened to glance over a split second after I'd put the word in. Glad you have company. Hi all and check in later. *poof*

3:12 am

hi and bye jwr

3:12 am

well, I really must head for bed now, so really goodnight/morning, happy babbling, and really *poof

3:13 am

sleep well dear!

3:15 am

zzzzzzzzzz

3:15 am

hihihihi

3:34 am

hey guys

3:36 am

hi Aaronitor

4:35 am

hey lady :) Was just thinking of you, am eating cold pizza for breakfast

It took me 20 min to formulate a response to my boy

4:36 am

about what?

Ok Watching this show: ok so I am watching The Block (TV reno store) Ok so you donate your stuff to the Salvos then on the Block they took it for free to the markets to sell. Did 100% of that money then go back to the community or was it eaten in admin costs.

Because I donate to these stores and hope my items then are sold at a price someone that can't afford it can have something nice.

4:40 am

you kind of lost me, hun

OK THERE IS this second hand opshop called Salvation Army they help poor people

4:41 am

yes and you donate stuff to them?

On this show the contestants went to one of these stores and then took items to a market for sale. My concern is did 100% of that money go back to the charity

well, everything just went to hell in a handbasket

MR PRes You ok?

4:43 am

don't know, lady, it should, but I think not

4:43 am

wazzup mrP?

Some charities do this then it get's eaten up in admin costs

Mr P you ok

no, not ok... i just need to get some perspective... and isn't happening tonight

:( tonight

but, am here... going to do babble and get over myself :)

I m on FB if you needs

4:45 am

more patience needed, mrP? Waiting sucks...

sprite, haven't got to the bloody post office!! weather is treacherous!! will go tomorrow

i know sprite, i hate it... but thankfully my friends are understanding and my family patient

although, sometimes, my family are just not helpful

Mr Pres hun whatr is wrong

4:47 am

mrP, please hun, take your time. ALL the time. Post office should be last on your list of priorities.

4:47 am

and babble is good diversion if you have to wait ;)

thanks sprite... and i will get there.

4:48 am

so... what is it you are waiting for that is not going to happen tonight?

i had a 13 year old swearing tonight cause he didn't get his 'allotted' time on my xbox...

Well then he gets Nothing on said xbox for a month. Nanny lock it on him

what isn't happening.... we are not getting a break.

4:49 am

lol adolescence is such a beautiful time of life.... NOT

and it wasn't MY 13 year old

i told him to get out of my house

4:49 am

argh I know about not getting a break. That sucks too.

his mum was fine with it all... accepted the situation... but is so upsetting

4:50 am

very good, mrP. The nerve, grin. Back to parents with the message their education lacks.

Well good for you kicking the kid out and his mother should be emboarressed

indeed! the nerve! temper tantrum... unrefined child

but, luv him anyway

she was infern, and we are fine... he needs to understand to shut the hell up

4:51 am

don't let it get to you, mrP. Many kids these days aren't taught to handle limits and disappointments. Parents often think they 'protect' them from such unpleasant experiences. Not realising that at some point in life kids must learn... and better as kids than as adults.

Kids are mouthy at that age.

4:52 am

for this boy, I suggest brushing out mouth with green soap :)

well, his mum got a little bit (tiny bit) of a shock to his behaviour... tried to tell me that he did it for a good reason, and I said 'NO!'... then it all was ok.

BUT I never swore at my mum or dad. I was a little s##$ though. Even if I was at my aunts house and now my parents I still ask for the food.

my children would never swear at me that way! And, he doesn't swear at his mother that way... so why should I get it??

And you did the right thing

4:54 am

teaching your kids limits, politeness and the awareness that life isn't about pleasing them, but about living it the best you can, is the best gift parents can bestow on their children.

4:54 am

did you ask him: "And with THAT mouth you kiss your mother???"

he is all about being pleased... his mother doesn't set limits. but she is my friend and we have our limits. he is a single child with no male influence... there is no way he would talk like that if he had the right mentors

no sprite, I told him to 'get out of my house now!'

That is no excuse Mr P. None what so ever

it is my xbox... and if he has issue with my son, he should take it up with him... not swear at me

4:56 am

hehehe not bad, mrP. In Dutch we tell children like that: "Your will stands behind the door."

however, she is a great mother!! I respect her and her decisions... just luv her, however, it didn't go well tonight

indeed sprite! leave it outside and come in here with respect

4:58 am

she is not a great mother. She is a loving mother, perhaps, but not one that sets limits. And mothers HAVE to set limits if they want their children to live a happy life.

4:58 am

a great mother is willing to make unpopular decisions and demands.

well, I must be a great mother then! LOL! :)

5:01 am

yes I think you are

I think you are Mr Pres

tonight has been beyond a joke!! and the whole day actually. tomorrow will be joyous and happy and great

thanks girls!! luv to you!

5:03 am

well sweetie, as a great mom you know to never let a child ruin your day. And you did the right thing, setting a clear limit and informing the mum and not letting her get away with evasions. So be proud of you and let's have a good time right now ;)

even my dad had a go at me today.... :( wow. but, live and learn

Dad's do that as you will always be his little princess

5:04 am

*grins* parents know how to pull our strings because they are the ones that put them there in the first place.

i am here to be happy and play! and chat with my mates! hope this one is a reasonable grid! unlike yesterdays B's!! urgh!

Hopefully we are well enough to go Grans tomorrow night

5:05 am

my stomach is hurting like hell since I learned my mother is very ill and in hospital. Don't know why, don't feel sadness, but still... my tummy hurts.

it is sad sprite!! so sorry... keep the stress down

5:05 am

as the therapist would say... my tummy hurts because I cannot feel my emotions, lol

no, my tummy hurts when I am in turmoil

5:06 am

mrP, all I am feeling is it would be perfectly fine if she died now. Doesn't that make me an awful person!

no, it makes sense... she has lived her full life and doesn't need to suffer anymore

Camimile tea all round needed

NO it doesn't make you an aweful person Sprite It makes you honest and most people don't have that. You do not nor should you ever have to love or feel compassion towards anyone that has ever badly and unforgivenly hurt you

5:08 am

she has lived her life for herself alone and I don't need her to make me suffer anymore, more like. Bad bad sprite!

No Sprite not bad at all

5:09 am

lol lady, great idea. I used to make my own herbal mix with camomile, nettles and liquorice root.

And I am serious about what I said

5:10 am

my mother has gone out of her way to hurt me. I spent my youth taking care of her needs and I just don't want to do it anymore. Thanks lady *hug*

Seriously my ex's mother was a right bitchnik and he cut her out. Toxic people creat toxic situations. You are well within your rights not not have that compassion. You sure as heck can feel feelings though

5:12 am

so, mrP... this grid is fun. Not so hard. And even the Cs are friendly, because I had them finished before I stopped to look.

compassion is important... nothing else matters IMHO

what!! c's are good??? I see an F and C..... we are close to the edge! LOL

5:17 am

I can feel compassion for her, but it is the kind of compassion I can feel for everyone.

Mr RPes it isn't to me when they show you none back

5:18 am

nah, half is missing, lol mrP

indeed sprite... i understand that compassion

contempt hurts infern... compassion hurts more!

5:19 am

I hope she doesn't have to suffer and that she has adequate help. I don't feel the urge to go to her and be part of that help.

sprite, don't go... she has all she needs :)

i have found that WANT and NEED are very different animals

True Sprite. You can always write a letter even for your self about this if it helps

5:21 am

oh yes!

i wrote a letter to my mother... ready to send... never sent it. my father told me some things that curled my hair!! so couldn't send it. and am ok with that... at least I wrote down my feelings

5:22 am

I have given myself a holiday from everything, lady, now that I am on vacation. I have decided to talk stuff over with my therapist once I am back. Until then... well, let the tummy hurt, I am great at dissociating ;)

on ya sprite! just enjoy the holiday!!

sniff

5:25 am

exactly! Last year's holiday, we spent in anxiety about my love having possibly lung cancer. Now this year's, I refuse to let spoil by my mother. Who is ill now because she refuses to take her medication or food. Food that gets delivered to her warm every day.

she wants to die?? wow

5:27 am

no she wants to be taken care of, to be the center of dramas.

well, let's see how that works out for her!

5:28 am

always been that way. First 18 years of my life I tried to keep her from suiciding... then I finally stopped... and she still lives.

wow sprite! what a mole!

5:31 am

yeah, lol... last time was when she told me she would go and jump in front of a train. And I said ok, but go then, NOW. I am even willing to look up a good train for you. After that, she knew she couldn't blackmail me anymore. So now I let the hospital decide whether she is able to take care of herself or not.

5:32 am

lots of sick puppies in the world, aren't there? Anyway, now I look out of the window here and I see thousands of flowers. My dear Terra is on my feet. My love is riding a bike through the neighbourhood here. And we are happy people. What more can one ask for?

wow sprite! what a call! and you picked her out well

good on you sprite!

when we are there, will share the same good news too!! :))

5:34 am

everybody has his or her limit, I think.

5:34 am

yay for good news :D

brb... kids need beddie bye hugs and 'wash your teeth' encouragement!! :)) won't be long

5:37 am

well you know, mrP... when my body hurts as it does every day, and things go bad, and life seems to suck, I can feel awful. But when I stop and count my blessings, I can see I am truly blessed. Wouldn't want to trade places with either parent for a sec.

5:37 am

lol bye for now mrP, and hug them from me.

5:38 am

Is there an extra re 4/5 in Lickety's list

5:39 am

hello gran, cannot tell you, haven't finished Rs yet. But as far as I can see, this is not a grid that leads to extra words in Lickety's list.

5:40 am

What is the lotal for today 278 or 279

5:40 am

have you compared the total amount of words? Babble pro says 279 in total.

5:43 am

Sorry it was re 5/12 I was missing

5:47 am

hi all

5:47 am

hi carlee :)

5:47 am

hi ya sprite

5:48 am

glad you found it gran

5:51 am

hello all :)

Sorry abvout that I had to run off

5:52 am

hi michelleo

5:53 am

np lady

5:53 am

hi mich hi herin

5:53 am

:) i'm new, having much of a clue what's going on yet

5:53 am

haven't*

5:53 am

well mich..the help is actually a useful help to get you started

Hi Carlee and Mich

5:54 am

and welcome to the madness called babble

5:54 am

thanks carlee:)

5:55 am

and i am going to eat my words all..i know it..but today..i am gld for a big grid... will give me something other than the heat to focus on...

5:55 am

welcome to the game. You can find a lot of info in the Help section (link at top of this page) and in Angelsong's Help Page (link under Friends of Babble)

I am sorry if I appear rude I am not really thinking tonigh

5:55 am

it is a nice one, carlee. Enough of a bite to make it interesting, but not too hard.

5:55 am

you are not rude at all, lady, don't worry

5:55 am

then when we start throwing letter/ number combinations around....its lickety's clues we are using...another link below the grid

5:56 am

its ok herin..i am going to be making typos galore today...its not even 7 am and with humidity feels like 40 C

5:57 am

going to have a look at help and the rankings too, see what i'm up against here ;)

5:57 am

true. Basically, when we say something like ac4/5, it means there is a word, valid in this grid, that starts with ac, is 4 letters long in total, and worth 5 points.

5:57 am

dont worry about rankings... they are just a confusing jumble of stats....i cant remember last tiem i looked

5:57 am

oh?

5:58 am

letters have to touch and per word can only used once... be nice in chat... and try not to post too many words from the grid, lol. That is about all, right?

5:59 am

there we go..nbt/nbs in 28

5:59 am

babble isn't a competitive game, michelleo, we compete mostly with ourselves. Grid is there for 24 hours. Lots of people finish = find all words. Lots of people just find a part. We try and help eachother without giving words away.

5:59 am

nice carlee

5:59 am

ahh i see

6:00 am

i usually play letterblox it's extremely competetive over there

6:00 am

unless u are me....i often ( but sprite/ herin can likely attest not of late ) drop words in chat...

6:00 am

yes, that is very different from babble.

We don't bite

6:00 am

this seems a much more civilized kind of crowd :)

6:00 am

where u from mich?

6:01 am

babble is a very friendly community for sure

6:01 am

ireland

6:01 am

--> loves Ireland!

6:01 am

ohh....soods and...hmmm...who else is from ireland????( brain fart )

6:02 am

a friend on google+ called neil told me about here

6:02 am

soodlebum, yes. Couple of others too...

Hi michelleo, welcome to the board

6:03 am

we have some neils here. Of course babble name might differ. Nice you are here, michelleo, I hope you will have fun.

6:03 am

hi FFG

whereabouts in Ireland are ye?

6:03 am

i have google+ but not enough of my friends are that tech savvy ( not that i am particularily either ) so is pretty much useless to me

6:03 am

hiya fish, and thanks very much

6:03 am

hi ya fish

hello hello

6:04 am

I am invited to google+ but haven't yet decided... not sure yet

Hi Fish

6:05 am

scylla and charybdis

Hi Hursy

opps Hurshy sorry

6:06 am

i signed up..i have 1 friend...i was on fb for 3 years before babble did fb...i never used it cus no one else was there ( my friends )..not even the kids were there....mind..i went with a cell phone provider specifically for international txting...and there was only one in canada at the time..and....they didnt have txting to the country i wanted to send sms's to i am from age of sms'ing not txting

6:06 am

hi hursh :)

6:06 am

hi

6:06 am

sounds like you are a fore-runner, carlee!

6:06 am

hi ya hurshy

6:06 am

did you ever play scramble on fb carlee?

6:07 am

i had twitter too... love twitter..but i use as a news feed

6:07 am

scramble is very popular with the FB babblers

6:07 am

no..never... this is my one word game..i played noggin a bit over there

I read a tweet the other day that said '' Saying you don't have a FB account is like saying you don't have a tv''

6:07 am

i have way too many word game addictions

6:07 am

fb i do brain dead games...gardens of time and frontierville

6:08 am

argh sounds familiar, michelleo. Have you ever played Eight1? http://www.eastoftheweb.com/games/Eig ht1.html

6:09 am

not eight1 but i play multieight a lot

6:09 am

also very addictive

oh, hey, another multieight player! (and hello everyone)

6:10 am

hi dwell

6:10 am

hey:)

6:10 am

hi City :)

Hi City

6:12 am

sorry to be such a noob now, but the amount of words in this game are 279?

6:12 am

yes that is correct mich

yes, mich, it's a slightly larger-than-average grid

6:12 am

no way you could know, actually! Yes it is. You can find it on the Lickety page, and if you are pro, it is on the babble site too.

6:13 am

that is today's grid...you can leave and come back...any time...your words will still be here

If I just pick up bits and peices I am not being rude

6:13 am

same herin...

6:13 am

no hun, you are not being rude.

And new law and order is on and he is kind of cute

6:14 am

I did, all except the felines which somehow escaped me (darn kitties)

6:22 am

being fanned by studdly tall man...

which probably dates me a little!

6:23 am

6:23 am

fresh fruit salad...

6:23 am

oops..sorry..i didnt intend that one

*giggles at carlee*

6:24 am

seriously...i didnt...

6:25 am

( city..its 7:30 am...it already feels like 40C my house got down to 30 C overnight...i am a bit...brain fried )

Carlee can you get a small fan or something?

6:25 am

i have a fan i am not budgiing from it

*turns up the heat in the hope that carlee accidently drops one of the 8s*

6:25 am

morning, all! another hot day on the prairie...

6:26 am

another humid one on the shores of lake huron

6:26 am

( shore is NOT in the grid..i dble checked before i typed it)

6:27 am

mind i will need a couple cool sh6's before the day is out

6:27 am

( city....dont tempt me..its days like this..i would just tell you ad screw the clue )

6:28 am

ok, I just popped in to say hi, had to dash off to the doctor yesterday with a bladder infection and am still feeling not so great

6:28 am

cranberry juice...did u buy some?

6:28 am

pr8/70 is one of the 8's

6:28 am

( and how did the deposition go? )

aww, sue, sorry to hear you are not on top form

6:29 am

no but I am drinking tons of water and have antibiotics now

6:29 am

get cranberry juice

6:29 am

i have pushed off oncoming bladder infections with it...

6:30 am

100% Cranberry juice, not an Ocean Spray blend.

I have the stats, Molly, thanks though ) I'm just not inspired by them :/

6:30 am

( my dx m-in-l is awful for them...and she calls it pink juice..she hates the stuff..i took delight in my own sick and perverse way of when i saw it on sale of buying her a couple jugs )

6:30 am

Did you want a clue City?

6:30 am

oh i can just tell u all?

lol, carlee, I think you'd better munch on some ice-chips to keep you quiet

6:31 am

Hope you feel better soon Sue.

6:31 am

ok i have 123 words and i'm certain there are no more.

6:31 am

but where is the fun in that?

Molly, I would love a clue if you have one handy

6:32 am

An artists paintings are pr8 to a small group before the official opening

6:32 am

checked my favorite site: http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/ play/snake-oil-supplements/ - evidence for cranberry juice is slight, if any, and i have tried it in the past with no effect

6:32 am

ok so there was one more word there, but thats definitely all there is!

6:32 am

or u can buy a dvd previously viewed....

6:32 am

also I hate the stuff

thank you Molly!

6:33 am

sue..the deposition???

Yogurt is good too and you can get the pills instead Sue

6:34 am

( hehehe..u either love it or hate it..i love the stuff and can chug back a litre in no time flat straight from the bottle)

6:34 am

oh - very stressful for the kid but the lawyer thought it went well = she didn

6:34 am

it feels that way when you're new michelle, but it wears off. soon you will be etuiing and ywising and crwthing with the rest of us.

6:34 am

didn't have a lawyer, just her dad there, lied and contradicted herself all over the place

6:34 am

the lawyer really tied her into knots

Sue you could always make Cosmopolitians

6:34 am

nice...good for her ie good for your son..

6:35 am

as we expected

6:35 am

Good news Sue. This sounds like it is going just as it should. Nice to see "the little girl who cried wolf" getting caught.

6:35 am

however she did accuse my son of multiple crimes (giving her alcohol and drugs, beating her), none of which he is guilty of, but the lawyer wants to keep the deposition out of the hands of the states attorney

(hurshy is lying, it does not wear off)

Ok I am going

6:36 am

give it a couple more years, city

bye herin

6:36 am

so...i am going to fill out m y paperwork for my new passport today..get the pics done... cant wait..my guanantor is in town..so scooting by to get her to sign...next week will take to london..and in 3-4 weeks iwill have my new passport in my OLD name <carlee does a little sweaty happy dance>

6:37 am

and there is a group of court watchers that stand up for battered women who may scream bloody murder if an accused batterer is not prosecuted (even though he is innocent) so he is not out of the woods yet

6:38 am

yay, carlee!!!! that is great news about your passport!!!

got to go, too; bye everyone

6:38 am

anyway I still feel crappy and am going back to bed, may be on later if I feel better

6:38 am

gotta love those...we have an old fellow from MADD that does the same kind of stuff

6:38 am

{{sue}} take care...

6:47 am

yeesh..am watching videos on you tube that police are currently using for an investigation

6:51 am

Kind of depressing fare Carlee.

6:53 am

there was a group of teens from london that went to a local beach by bus...( 1000 of them) and the party on the beach got a little out of hand...

6:53 am

Oh, and off to the PB for me. I will commence rustling up some breakfast in there.

6:54 am

there are 5 vids from the ride on the busses police are using to identify

6:55 am

Way back in the day, when I was considering writing a thesis, it was going to be on crowd behavior.

6:56 am

that..would be realy interesting...

7:04 am

It's frightening the way people will behave in a crowd, ways in which they would never behave otherwise. There is another theory similar to that going around psychological circles about internet behavior.

7:07 am

the stuff going on in dorms these days... insane...

7:07 am

and it all gets video'd and uploaded to the net...

7:08 am

i'd let me kids stay in same sex dorm... or no dorm...

7:08 am

From what I've read, a lot of parents feel the same way.

7:18 am

mob mentality...

7:21 am

so you would find a same sex apartment building/

7:21 am

hi all

7:21 am

no.i said same sex dorm..or no dorm...( off campus )

7:22 am

that is my point the dorms today are like apartments with suites of rooms and one bathroom and the same sex stays in the suite

7:22 am

exactly what you would find in an apartment building off campus

7:23 am

not all...they have same sex dorm..all women in whole building..all men in one building ( up here anyway)

7:23 am

btw studies show that boys that stay in co-d dorms do better in school while girls do better in same sex dorms

7:23 am

in an apartment..u have 1 -3 roomates...usually same sex...not 6 or 8...

7:24 am

i could see that in my own kids jmc

7:24 am

my son...no issue...

7:25 am

there are some schools in u.s. where there are still same sex dorms but generally the move is toward all the same sex in a suite--my son's suite was 4 guys and 2 bathrooms at both unc asheville and gwu

7:26 am

that way they are guarenteed to fill the dorm

7:26 am

one year a suite is male..another year female

7:27 am

this grid is again uninspiring

7:28 am

asterick lights a candle to inspire carlee asterick

7:28 am

this no shift key is a pain in the ass

7:29 am

oh dear...and u would land in the pb for its other name

7:29 am

question mark

7:29 am

are u on your blackberry?

7:29 am

or at work?

7:30 am

i am on my fried computer which is fine except for the shift key doesn't work

7:30 am

ahhh....

7:30 am

but i bought a new computer so i will switch everything off this weekend

7:30 am

why not assign new key combo for the things u need a shift for

7:31 am

how would i do that question mark

7:31 am

i was afraid u would ask..hold on

7:31 am

haha

7:33 am

help....type in character map

7:33 am

a character map will come up..then u can assign a keyboard combination

7:34 am

oh how cool...i can find arabic in here..heheh

7:35 am

hmm still dont see how to change the shift function

7:36 am

the private character editor is cool

7:37 am

maybe i can assign asterick and question mark

7:37 am

but it is too much work before work for me--maybe later

7:40 am

that has to be the easiest nbt i have ever done

7:40 am

bye all i am off to do my pre-work work bbl

7:40 am

and then the wall hits u jmc

7:40 am

asterick waves to empty chog asterick

7:41 am

damn

9:33 am

and she is 3 hour drive south of me

She said she is running off to her ma's for air con

9:34 am

windows were already majorly steamed up here at 6:00am!

9:34 am

ahhh une must have ac

9:35 am

crossy has no ac;((

9:35 am

AC in house . . . in car . . . couldn't survive without it!!

9:35 am

crossy, I grew up without it and would never want to go back!

9:35 am

we do not normally need it usually a few days in the 80,s in july and august and that is normally it

9:36 am

but 47c..we are woefully unprepared

9:36 am

heat index of 100 not unusual here in July and August . . .

Hi Une

9:36 am

that is 120f

9:36 am

hey, herin :-)

Une is this one of your babies you rescued?

9:37 am

jeezomeez!!!!!!!!!

No thanks Cross

9:37 am

that is 36c plus humidex of over 60% to make 47c

9:37 am

several years ago I went to Leadville, CO to visit my daughter in July and I thought I'd died and gone to heaven -- no humidity and 70 degrees -- sigh . . .

9:37 am

they have warned us to be ready for the odd brownout

9:38 am

mmm...70

9:38 am

... we want Florida weather in winter ... not in summer

9:38 am

amazingly, our power company has stated that there's no danger of that here

9:39 am

had to replace my dead AC two years ago and I'm delightfully chilly as long as I'm inside! :-)

Yuk yuk and yuk. I think i will complain about my gas bill and winter

9:41 am

ahhh an aussie winter would be nice about now

9:42 am

off to run a few errands -- BBL *poof*

9:42 am

minus 2 or 3 and perhaps a light dusting of snow,just enough for a sweater and light jacket....

Take care

9:43 am

tc une

So this is summer for you Crossie?

9:44 am

right now yes..july and august are our hottest times

9:44 am

dead of winter for us of course is jan,feb,march

Cross so you would be doing the opposite of what we do. Run off to some where cold

9:47 am

good morning :)

Hi Cyber

9:48 am

we grin and bear it,cause sept(imho) is the most beautiful month the maples change their leave to a rainbow of colour,the apples are ready to be harvested and there is a light chill in the morning and evening but t-shirt weather in mid day..sky so clear and crisp you can see for miles out over the bay

9:48 am

howdy cybernan

9:48 am

Are you getting the 30C heat wave, crossy?

I hate both extremes

9:49 am

we are going well over that cyber..36c and a humidex of over 60% for a grand total of 47c

9:49 am

heat alerts have been issued

YEWWwwwwwwwwww

we blew a fuse in our old apartment building last night and had to go without fans or a/c until about 20 minutes ago

it was awful

9:49 am

poor josh:((

9:49 am

... it is forecast that today will be the hottest day in history for most of Ontario ...

9:50 am

indeed

9:50 am

hope you have AC then! -- and wish we could send you some of our cool and rainy weather

Hi Josh

hi

9:50 am

mmm..rain and cool...drolll

nope

9:51 am

drool*

i couldn't finish the grid before going to bed like i usually do, that was another casualty

9:51 am

I have gladiolus right now, but they came up real skinny and kind of dwarfed - is it because it's the first year? I haven't planted them in years, I forgot

COuld be the weather JB

9:58 am

lol,there are a few other things that are around the minister that i wish were dead lol

9:58 am

maybe, - it's been really hot, but I'm pretty conscientious about watering them, maybe I just got a bad bunch of bulbs - or maybe it's the variety

10:27 am

atop

10:28 am

my brain can't do all three at once!!

10:28 am

i am impressed that you can babble and bike!

10:28 am

*opens pb door for lexo*

10:29 am

this bike has a ledge that my little macbook fits just perfectly.

10:29 am

or get a nook e-reader,you can read a book,babble skype you calls and ride yer bike:))

10:29 am

still very cool dorens i can't read on the tredmill at all

10:30 am

i definitely can't read and babble crossy. funny you should mention it though, the book i'm currently reading is set on the georgian bay and it is the only thing other than bacon that could make me think of you

10:30 am

lol dorens

10:30 am

jmc, i don't think i could on the treadmill either. recumbent bike is different though

10:31 am

tenderness of wolves... have you heard of it? it's a very cool whodunnit set back in the late 19th century

10:31 am

cannot say that i have,but the wolf just happens to be my familliar/spirit totem:)

10:32 am

i haven't heard of that dorens i will have to put it on my list when i end my boycott of buying new books until i have read some of the ones i already have

10:32 am

well if you like whodunit's at all. it is a very nice one. canadian, of course

10:32 am

jmc, don't you use your library?

10:33 am

i do that too dorens

10:33 am

but my library was being rebuilt for 4 years and i had to do something

10:33 am

that's where i got it from... my library book club is reading it, and the library ordered copies for all of us

10:33 am

lol jmc,i have roughly 100 books pending

10:34 am

anyone who liked belcanto, ann patchet's new book is sooo good

10:34 am

how nice of your library! where will they put them all?

10:35 am

no, it is an interlibrary loan... they order them from other libraries,,, they're delivered to our library, we return them when we're done and they get sent back

10:35 am

ah that is still very nice

10:35 am

this is the greatest system.... any book you want, you look it up online, and order it, and they will deliver

10:36 am

as long as any library in the county has it available... otherwise, you put a hold on it and they let you know when it comes in

10:36 am

i can order e-books form over 22 libraries in simcoe-grey county online:) you get them for 17 days then the file degrades.then you can re-order if you wish it again and i can also share with friends

10:36 am

my library will get pretty much any book for you but it was that 4 year gap that did me in. . . i need to get back into the swing

10:37 am

well that and my mother and mother-in-law dying and leaving me tons of books

10:37 am

ahhh... so it isn't just new jersey?? :)

10:37 am

first pa 5, please?

10:37 am

10:38 am

sorry cyber the first one i have is a pl

10:38 am

pa + m*** girls are female bullies

10:38 am

no interlibrary loan is pretty common thank heavens since it is a better use of resources than buying everything

10:38 am

time for lickety here

10:39 am

ok..well wanted to let the canadians in Babble land know the loblaws carries MRP's Tim Tams...3.99 a package

10:39 am

10:44 am

oh of course macao money haha

10:45 am

ty dorens

10:45 am

there are so many I don't know the meaning of, I got tired of looking them up

10:45 am

That pa6 sounds like a diction exercise word. Yeesh.

10:46 am

me too nan + i never remember the meanings anyway from one grid to the net

10:47 am

It makes me laugh when someone clues a word like that with the definition. Like we are all going to think "Oh yeah, macao money, of course!"

10:47 am

all right. 42 minutes on the bike, 42 minutes on the grid. 87 words left .. see you all later... happy babbles

10:48 am

bye dorens -- thanks for the help :)

10:51 am

bye dorens

10:52 am

i look them up because sometimes i remember the definition like zarf

10:52 am

i will never forget zarf

10:53 am

*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help :)

10:54 am

whoo hooo cyber!

10:58 am

10:58 am

10:59 am

*falls into giggles and answers the phone*

11:00 am

oops -- lost connection for a bit - hi flosey

11:01 am

11:03 am

how totally cool now you can impress your friends asking them which zarf they want!

11:03 am

they are used that way too crossy

11:03 am

sa 6 is hard to clue -- twinkler minus 2nd letter + abbreviation for member of the upper house in parliament

11:03 am

11:05 am

11:05 am

i was born in the U.K so technically i can be knighted lool

11:06 am

well learn something new every day

11:06 am

11:13 am

howdy red

11:13 am

u dont need ur family doctor to sign

11:13 am

any professional

11:13 am

engineer, lawyer, nurse

11:13 am

last i checked,you needed a church official,a MEMBER OF PARLIMENT OR A DR

11:13 am

sorry caps

11:14 am

... don't even have to be professional anymore ... your neighbour will do

11:14 am

cool

11:14 am

yea..am just reading...

11:14 am

... too many people don't have doctors anymore ...

11:15 am

they must hold a vaalid passport for 5 years,know u 2 years, a family member u reside with can be your guarantor

11:16 am

yes,i count myself lucky that i have had the same dr last 20 years and can usually get to him in 2 weeks or so,if not that the after hours clinic

11:16 am

a family member will do?

11:17 am

a family member or person residing at the same address as you may be your guarantor, provided that he, she meets the specified requirements...

11:18 am

) canadian citizen, 18 or over hold a 5 year passport known u personally more that 2 years )

11:18 am

for free of charge they must complete the declaration,, write i certify on the pback of one photo and sign and date any copies of documents you sending in

11:19 am

cool,it is long overdue for me

11:19 am

passport canada does reserve right to request an alternate guarentor tho

11:19 am

wow that is a lot of work for a passport

11:19 am

u need 2 other people to verify ( but they do not sign )

11:19 am

think ill get my dr to do it

11:20 am

and birth certificate, photo id, employment history included, residences of last 5 years

11:20 am

ur dr will charge you...

11:20 am

sorry for butting in to the conversation, but what does a Dr. have to do with a passport

11:21 am

it used to be you had to have a member of clergy, parliament or a professional organization sign your passport...like a doctor or an engineer...or a lawyer...

11:21 am

lol,they will love my birth certificate,it is a full legal paGge size doccument form whatford maternity home compleate with a britt stamp in the corner lol

11:21 am

he will sign the back of my pictures bichon

11:21 am

someone of a professional organization that knew you

11:21 am

so what if you were some poor slub without a dr? no passport?

11:22 am

and a section of the form...

11:22 am

like carlee says,there are other options

11:22 am

you go to your member of parliament with all your id

11:22 am

sorry, don't you just need a birth certificate?

11:22 am

Speaking from experience here. Getting a permanent resident card in the US takes a lot of time and money. Be prepared for that.

11:22 am

so you can get your mp who doesn't know you to sign?

11:22 am

yes...with your photo id

11:23 am

is carl trying to get into the US?

11:23 am

i think...the professional..is kind of acting on behalf of the MP...so was a member of a professional organization authorized by canadian govt

11:23 am

i have a old form here,it says to not even call till a year has passed ,then you can see how your app is coming along

11:23 am

(hands molly an I9 form)

11:23 am

no..i am not trying to get into US

11:24 am

crossy, what are you trying to do?

11:24 am

else all our MP would be doing day in and day out is signing passport paperwork

11:24 am

i didn't think so but i got confused once again

11:24 am

*Molly flings icky I9 and I30 and all the other ickey IForms away*

11:24 am

crossy needs his dual citizenship

11:24 am

get a perm resident card so i can set up dual passports

11:25 am

in the US crossy

11:25 am

i just need a new passport..mine expired...and i want it in my maiden name

11:25 am

i want all evidence of being a moore....gone

11:25 am

good plan carlee

11:25 am

a canadian passport and my current u.k one will take me anywhere

11:25 am

I think you have to wait a number of years after you get a permanent resident card to apply for citizenship. As I recall, its five years after the green card.

11:26 am

carllee is now a most!

11:26 am

ok, so you have a UK passport and not a Canadian. Weren't you born in Canada Crossy?

11:26 am

unless you join the military molly *hands molly an ak47*

11:26 am

AFternoon, Babblers!

11:27 am

11:27 am

Clears that up. I always thought yo were born there

11:27 am

howdy judi

Already a proud US citizen. *Hands ak47 back* It was my husband's experience I was speaking from.

11:28 am

ok....i think it is time to remove things like a bra....its soaked with sweat...yeuck....

11:28 am

I'd like to go braless 24/7.

11:28 am

Bleagh. It's too hot. Good idea, Carlee. Let's all sit around in the nude and blast the AC.

11:28 am

we up to the feels like 45C already here crossy

11:28 am

;-) just teasing a little molly you know me

11:29 am

my boobs are too big for braless any more--did it for about 15 years

11:30 am

(that is 113f for those south of the border )

11:30 am

*passes around popsicles*

11:30 am

The joy of being small-breasted. When I was 13 I didn't feel that way

11:30 am

it was fun while it lasted bichon

11:31 am

lol. A friend of mine refers to hers as "flotation devices".

11:31 am

same here carlee 44c

11:31 am

And my daughter is like a triple H. Boy, she sure regrets hoping for big boobs

nude babbling again?

11:32 am

her back will be a mess later on

11:32 am

poor thing bichon!

11:32 am

We have so much fun here

11:32 am

it feels like 41c in cairo,43 in riyadh saudi arabiabut 48 in dubai...dubai stillhas us beat damnit

11:32 am

*slides into the pool so the water covers everything*

11:32 am

OMG. I didn't know sizes went up to an H. Is she considering a reduction?

11:33 am

only 3 degrees c and we beat dubai..can canada do it?..i think so..we have the might of the little beavers, the carbou, the salmon and RCMP

11:33 am

*wonders what size dolly parton was*

11:33 am

my sister had a reduction said it was best thing she ever did

11:33 am

( and carlee is losing her marbles )

11:33 am

*gives carlee a basket to hold her marbles*

11:33 am

LOL THAT IS IT! CARLEE HAS GONE OVER THE HIGH SIDE hehe

11:34 am

is it a pretty basket with nice pink ribbons on it jmc?

11:34 am

crossy of course is quite sane...for now

11:34 am

I wish my daughter would, but insurance doesn't cover it

11:34 am

yes dear i would give you nothing less

11:34 am

god bless america lol

11:34 am

thank you jmc :)

11:35 am

I just had to drag my cat off the deck. It's 89 degrees out there. He was laying belly up. Made me sweat just looking at him. Dopey cat.

11:35 am

it would cover it if there is a medical reason--go consult with a plastic surgeon about that

11:35 am

... just checked the weather channel ... Toronto is at 35C ... and a humidex of 47 ... three to go and it's the hottest all time

11:35 am

though when hewr spine is a twisted ruin at 50 they will cover it?

11:35 am

big boobs women have terrible back problems for example

11:35 am

That's crazy. Insurance covers gastric bypass, but not breast reduction?

11:35 am

my cat was looking like she was dead lying on my living room floor

11:35 am

Bichon - there is a website breasthealthonline.com and it has loads of infor about breast reduction including how to persuade the insurance compant that is is medically necessary. I had mine done in the Uk as I am British so didn;t have issues there but the website was really good.

11:36 am

It's very difficult for her to find a bra. and they are expensive

11:36 am

Bichon - I bet if your daughter went to a back specialist, she could get around the elective surgery declaration by the ins co.

11:36 am

She has really crappy insurance

11:36 am

go canada go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11:36 am

*beams at how the babble community solves all problems*

11:36 am

I thought that was "blame Canada" ??

11:36 am

even crappy insurance should cover some

We are only 35.5 C today.

11:37 am

( i am cheering on the weather gods )

11:37 am

And Red's in Florida. It's a mad, mad, mad, mad, mad world.

11:38 am

lol sorry cannot hear you all over my provincial health care plan!!! wheee!

11:38 am

LOL! SHUT. UP. CROSSY.

11:38 am

NO, blame Canada Blame Canada With all their beady little eyes And flappin heads so full of lies Blame Canada Blame Canada We need to form a full assault It's Canada's fault!+

11:38 am

my girlfriend is getting her boobs done next year...ohip is covering it

11:46 am

alas too far out in the burbs for me

11:46 am

woohoo judi...pass me some popsicles..this is fun!

11:46 am

molly, and thoughts as to how she would do with the freakishly ticklish?

11:47 am

<carlee looks around for men in white coats to appear>

11:47 am

*uses grape popsicle to write name across cabana boy''s hairless chest*

I have orange dreamsicles.

11:47 am

i have fudgicles

11:47 am

I can't say Eva, as pedicures don't tickle me. I'm sure if you tell them that in advance, they have some techniques to get you through it.

11:48 am

i am ticklish too evan and i have found they usually manage not to tickle me

11:48 am

*wondering when staff is coming back from debt ceiling demonstration*

11:48 am

long past ticklish feet... too many dogs over years wanting to lick toes as u climb out of tub...finally resigned self to puppy dried toes

11:49 am

when it comes to pedicures + massages, people think i overestimate my ticklishness. then they get kicked and reconsider.

11:49 am

there is a debt ceiling demo?

11:49 am

Did anyone here know this fascinating bit of celebrity trivia: Angelina Jolie feeds her kids roasted crickets

11:49 am

I am so glad my successor and her dog are out of the office for the rest of my time here

11:49 am

roasted crickets are eaten in a number of countries

11:49 am

Yes Bich, I read about that. Doesn't surprise me about someone who used to wear a vial of her boyfriends blood around her neck.

11:49 am

how did we survive not knowing that about ms jolie???

11:49 am

i have only had ONE pedicurist who was able to do a decent job without tickling me TOO much. she knows me by face now. she just works VERY quickly.

11:50 am

High in protein

11:50 am

There are worse snacks. Crickets are supposed to be hight in protein. Cover those suckers in chocolate and I'd chomp on them.

11:50 am

i usually just ask for them to skip the scrubbing + massaging and just clean up the nails.

11:50 am

chocolate covers ants are tasty

11:51 am

as long as not moving..i am game to try just about anything

11:51 am

Oh, but the scrubbing, massaging and hot towels after are my favorite part.

11:51 am

i find the scrubber too much but the massage is great

11:51 am

I've never had the opportunity to eat a roasted bug. I'd do it though. What the hell?

11:51 am

brb

11:51 am

i wish i could say the same, molly. they are torturous for me.

11:51 am

i DO love the leg massage.

11:52 am

i have never had a pedicure

11:52 am

one of these days

11:52 am

*Puts a plate of chocolate covered bugs in the PB and then goes off to vomit*

11:52 am

HAHAHAH we are back to grossing molls out with food

11:53 am

{{{molls}}} we do love u...

11:53 am

Oh yeah, CURRIED chocolate covered bugs. *Shudder*

11:53 am

carlee starts to cry again from laughter

11:53 am

tears streaming down face now...

11:54 am

ok all. off to my Weight Watchers meeting. wish me luck on my weigh-in!

11:54 am

And no need for napkins, your dog will be happy to lick your fingers clean. *Passes out*

11:54 am

good luck eva...

11:54 am

toes...i said toes...not fingers...

11:54 am

i dont eat with my toes

11:56 am

luck on your weigh in evan

11:56 am

i ate fried roaches once

11:56 am

pretty tasteless

11:57 am

i cannot say i have ever purposely eaten a bug...having one blow in mouth whilst outside and swallowing it....does not count

11:57 am

Can't say they were bad then. Roaches could solve world hunger. There's enough of them to go around.

11:57 am

between roaches and rats...

11:57 am

i am not sure they have much protein--*wonders where the protein content of roaches could be found*

11:58 am

ACK! no rats!

11:58 am

where found in crickets????

11:58 am

I would think roaches would be really good for you. Hell, they can survive nuclear radiation without batting an eye.

11:58 am

crossy has had candy coated ants...

11:58 am

i was served the roaches by a very poor friend of mine who substituted for potato chips

11:58 am

Google has an answer for everything JMC.

11:59 am

i'll stick to chocolate covered espresso beans thanks

11:59 am

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A476859

11:59 am

Roaches are LOADED with bacteria. Not a consumable in my book.

11:59 am

that is the cricket answer

11:59 am

Phffth. So is sushi, but I love that sh*t.

11:59 am

well fried i would think the bacteria would be killed

11:59 am

the ands tate a bit like bacon

12:00 pm

the chocolate covered red ants have a bite to them

12:00 pm

we just hit 44c carlee

12:01 pm

I would have to be starving to death to eat raw fish. Or raw anything for that matter.

12:02 pm

i adore sushi..

12:02 pm

you can also eat pocupine raw molly

12:02 pm

did we crossy?

12:02 pm

my head is hurting...

12:02 pm

we did..i did..or whatever

12:02 pm

steak tartar is good and i like most sushi but prefer cerviche

12:02 pm

Madame needs the bucket.

12:02 pm

12:02 pm

45*

12:02 pm

I assume you eat raw fruits and vegs, Molly.

12:03 pm

12:04 pm

12:05 pm

12:05 pm

I will JMC, as soon as I get out of the creepy forest of gross things.

12:06 pm

passing molls a grape popsicle so she can draw on cabana boys chest

12:06 pm

watch out for the poppy field those plants will get you every time

12:08 pm

You're out of the woods, You're out of the dark, You're out of the night. Step into the sun!

12:08 pm

jmc..i read poopy instead of poppy

12:09 pm

Best to avoid the poopy fields as well.

12:09 pm

Those would be back yards where pet owners do not use their "scooper".

12:09 pm

*hands carlee reading glasses*

12:09 pm

isnt that from into the woods molls?

12:09 pm

Time for lunch. Toodles, kids! *POOF*

12:09 pm

No, it's what they sing when the Oz bound trio get to the poppy fields.

12:10 pm

Oz bound quartet.

12:10 pm

bye judi enjoy those crickets!

12:10 pm

12:11 pm

The Oz Bound Five (sounds like prison escapees)

12:11 pm

There is shadow under this red rock, (Come in under the shadow of this red rock), And I will show you something different from either Your shadow at morning striding behind you Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you; I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

12:11 pm

i miss the freeway sing ne** the mormon temple

12:11 pm

SURRENDER DOROTHY

12:12 pm

the mormon temple is quite the building down there

12:12 pm

12:12 pm

later someone else put up surrender dorothy

12:12 pm

That place is beautiful at Christmas.

12:13 pm

but then i miss the person who used to put flowers in churchills statues hand

12:13 pm

12:13 pm

it is really not as charming

12:14 pm

12:14 pm

12:15 pm

oh i didn't know that molly that is sad

12:16 pm

12:22 pm

Quoth the toaster, never more.

12:25 pm

*imagines a black pop-up toaster sitting on top a door*

12:26 pm

Or on a bust of Pallas.

12:29 pm

well it thought it would probably fall from the bust of pallas so i placed it on the door

12:29 pm

Good thinking. Quoth the raven, make mine light whole wheat with extra butter.

12:30 pm

how i mourn for my lost lenore who makes toast for me nevermore

12:35 pm

1:40 pm

*holding breath for Harry to finish*

1:41 pm

not a good idea, sprite

1:41 pm

*rushes to put up oxygen tent for sprite*

Hi everyone. I know there are a lot of pet lovers on this site and was wondering if anyone has or had an American Eskimo dog before? I'm considering different breeds of dogs for my next dog.

1:41 pm

hi luv not me

hi jmc

1:41 pm

I had one. She was awesome. Hope you like brushing!

hi Gobias. Do they shed a lot?

1:42 pm

No, but they will mat if you don't brush them

1:42 pm

hi Luv. As long as you are willing to walk lots and lots and lots, keep them challenged and you are willing to put in time to keep the hair healthy, they are great dogs

oic. I've heard they have a tendency to bark a lot? I've heard they can be somewhat broken of that habit

1:42 pm

And I have a little guy now who looks like a black american eskimo

hi sprite, that's what I miss the most about having a dog, taking them on walks with me

1:43 pm

141! halfway, and nbt!!

1:43 pm

They have tons of energy and they don't always do what you want them to. They think they know best :P

have you had an Eskie before sprite?

1:44 pm

no, a friend of mine had one. She also said to train them really well, so you don't have to walk them on the leash. Most tend to pull. It is in the blood.

ah so they're a bit headstrong?

1:44 pm

nice going Harry!

1:44 pm

Yes. I also have bloodhounds and they are similar in that as long as you make them think it is their idea, you are good! :)

I had my last dog trained not to walk on a leash, I would tell her when to get over when the cars were coming down the road (no sidewalks out here in the country) and she would listen to me

1:46 pm

sounds like you are someone who'd do very well with an Eskie, Luv

1:46 pm

ok..back..nd for any who care to know..the outside temp feels like 48 C

1:46 pm

Mine was a rescue, it wasn't until she was older (and slower) that I would trust her fully off leash. But they are a lot of fun!

1:46 pm

holy cow carlee

1:47 pm

is it humid?

1:47 pm

ouch carlee, that is wayyyyy too hot. *Sets up blowing fan over huge iceblocks for Carlee*

Yeah, it took quite a while before I trusted my spaniel mix mutt off the leash too

1:47 pm

Hope you have ac carlee

1:47 pm

no..i dont have a/c

1:47 pm

:(

1:48 pm

i have a fn...but i am going to make a ghetto a/c..brb

well, thanks for the input Gobias and sprite, I will have to fill out an application for the Eskie dog rescue and see what happens. Wish me luck

1:48 pm

I'd say an Eskimo dog is for experienced dog people, like you. I was adviced against it when we looked for the right breed for us, since it would be my first dog as an adult.

1:49 pm

Good luck! Sounds like they would be lucky to have you!

1:49 pm

*wishing Luv lots of luck and is glad there will be a happy Eskie rescue in the future*

Thanks hopefully, they think so too, Gobias

thanks sprite

1:52 pm

fireflies! Very good grid. Not too hard but with a bite.

1:52 pm

yay sprite!

2:19 pm

i think...i am going to get a couple hot and ready pizzas and some cheesy crazy bread for dinner... but not sure...

2:19 pm

probably wouldnt take my son to a dr either

2:19 pm

cheesy crazy bread?

2:20 pm

( I took the puppy for sprained knee...but..i was more concerned cus i knew he was goig to be a big dog..and they tend to have joint issues when older and i dont want that for him....)

2:20 pm

little caesars... they take pizza dough...brush with garlic butter and put cheese on it

2:20 pm

well that makes some sense carlee you are right about big dog joints

2:21 pm

i have seen the ads now that you mention it

2:21 pm

Your air temperature is 122 degrees Fahrenheit?

2:21 pm

i gave him evaporated milk every day for 4 weeks...to give him extra calcium...

2:26 pm

<sob> meanies

2:29 pm

well cheer up carlee i don't have one in my bedroom

2:29 pm

just a ceiling fan and a window

2:30 pm

i cant think

2:30 pm

go wash (and dont dry) your feet and you will feel better

2:30 pm

an ice pack on your neck is also helpful

2:30 pm

i use a bag of frozen corn for that

2:31 pm

the last of the ice ( as i have teenagers and they dont fill up trays ) i put in the animal water bowl

2:31 pm

close the shades and turn off the lights

2:31 pm

windows closed...lights off

2:31 pm

snap

2:31 pm

and i have to go to the bank

2:31 pm

and get pizza

2:31 pm

bank is ac'ed

2:31 pm

bye carlee

2:32 pm

don't forget to buy some frozen corn in a bag

2:32 pm

avoiding ac at this point.... i have headache..the extremem back and forth will make it worse

2:32 pm

i have frozen corn

2:32 pm

well there is your ice bag

2:33 pm

yeap... yay..corn

2:33 pm

stay in the shade

2:35 pm

*whew* half way

2:35 pm

got to make some calls bbl

2:37 pm

When my air conditioning was broken last year, I kept frozen wash cloths in the freezer. They are great on the back of your neck. And they freeze pretty quickly.

2:39 pm

Anyone have any clues for an 8 please? :-)

2:40 pm

there is no an8

2:40 pm

there is a an4/8 which is sort of refresh something

2:40 pm

No, I know! Just for any 8 please. I haven't got any!

2:40 pm

A real estate agent ***** a house to potential buyers. If she does that ahead of time, it is pr8.

2:40 pm

oh, i don't have an 8 either LOL

2:41 pm

Thanks! And haha Glan!

2:41 pm

The other 8 is twinkly thing in the sky + what you blow when you have a cold.

2:41 pm

Ty Molly

2:41 pm

can't believe the st8 is really a word - but thanks again Molly

2:42 pm

The definition is pretty damned weird.

2:43 pm

90 left and finding this one a long hard slog

2:48 pm

Thanks again Molly! I finally got those 8's! :-)

2:52 pm

you'd think when you are giving someone a sizable gift of a desk they would make some effort to accommodate your schedule

2:55 pm

Gratitude, like manners, seems to be a lost art these days JMC.

2:58 pm

i guess molly

2:59 pm

that is part of the reason i have st**ped offering things on freecycle and just look for people who want something I have

3:01 pm

but i may have to offer the wallpaper stripper--I have no wall paper left to strip

3:01 pm

funny how that works - you offer soemthing to somebodywho has asked for it and they are grateful but if you just boffer something people think they are doing you a favour by taking it off your hands

3:02 pm

yep i have noticed that

3:02 pm

i freecycle frequently but don't always feel it's a positive experience

3:03 pm

either way i feel i am glad to get rid of the thing and try to be flexible but really sometime!

3:03 pm

I just console myself that it is better than throwing thin gs away

3:03 pm

well mostly it has been positive i am just juggling too many balls right now to be very accommodating

3:04 pm

oddly i have found listing things on craigs list for a co4/5 works better than freecycle

3:04 pm

it is that glan

3:05 pm

we don't have craigs list here

3:05 pm

sadly

3:07 pm

maybe you can start one Glant. I've had good luck selling things and I don't have to pay EBay and Paypal a fee

3:08 pm

so how do you pay without paypal?

3:08 pm

do people just give you cash when they colllect?

3:08 pm

Actually, I did use Paypal once, but the other time, someone local saw the ad and came to the house. My husband transacted the deal outside

3:09 pm

The other person lived in the mid-west and I did pay a small amount to PayPal

3:09 pm

I find it difficult to sell things on EBay sometimes. I've tried new clothes with labels and never come close to a bit

3:09 pm

*bite

3:10 pm

I guess people here in the UK sell stuff through EBay if they don't freecycle it

3:10 pm

There's nothing wrong with EBay, I just haven't had much luck there lately

3:12 pm

One problem with selling on line is that shipping costs a whole lot.

3:12 pm

yes it costs more than is worthwhile sometimes

3:12 pm

i keep meaning to put stuff for sale on EBay but have never gotten around to it

3:13 pm

I am sure that if I just do it ince it will be something i do a lot

3:13 pm

right, 44 lft and time for another break - bbl

3:13 pm

It's worth it to try. I've tried to sell it by auction because then I don't have to pay a listing fee unless it actually sells

3:14 pm

4:07 pm

about 13C here - when it should be about 25C

4:08 pm

about 18 here when it should be about 25...

4:08 pm

48C sounds unbearable - especially if it's humid

4:08 pm

tent is available if you want to come visit, carlee!

4:08 pm

(for real -- honest offer)

4:08 pm

( stiddy.....why...am i wanting to teach in the middle east..remind me again???)

4:12 pm

we go from -30C all way up to 40C

4:13 pm

4:17 pm

now mother on the phone...

4:19 pm

this is where i live:

4:19 pm

http://www.breconbeacons.org/

4:20 pm

just watch the pictures on the home page change and you'll get the feel of the place

4:23 pm

Wow Glant, beautiful countryside.

4:24 pm

yes, all of the phtoographs are of places within 10 miles of my home

4:24 pm

very pretty stid

4:24 pm

lovely place -- evidence of more sustained european habitation over time, for sure!

4:25 pm

I visited Washington state in 2009, it is very beautiful and r=dramatic Stid

4:25 pm

well when you are in the area again, let us know!

4:26 pm

very pretty there too glan

4:26 pm

ok..gone for cool bath

4:26 pm

If I come again, I will - I have two friends - one lives in Gig Harbor, the other in Kirkland

4:26 pm

I would like to someday visit the British Isles...

4:26 pm

both of those are close enough for a day or afternoon visit!

4:26 pm

the Kirkland one also has a beach house ion Whidby Island

4:27 pm

later carlee-who-melts

4:27 pm

You are very wlecome to come and stay of you visit Stid

4:27 pm

:-D very nice. It's a bit windy in that part of the Sound, but lovely still.

4:27 pm

thanks glantarell (got a spare castle to put us up in?) ;-)

4:28 pm

I might manage a tent in a castle LOL

4:28 pm

But you're never far form a castle in Wales

4:28 pm

have towel, will travel! *reaches for babblefish*

4:29 pm

babblefish?

4:29 pm

reference to Douglas Adams, I am afraid -- the little fish that automatically translates, and of course the most important thing a traveler can have with them is their towel!

4:30 pm

of course, I spelled it wrong, in the books it's "Babel fish" -- but seeing as we are here... :-D

4:30 pm

Ah, I had forgotten

4:30 pm

This is where I am spending Sunday:

4:30 pm

http://www.carregcennencastle.com/Cast le.htm

4:31 pm

OMG -- I am rarely truly envious, but I admit to being just a tad wistful...

4:31 pm

paer

4:32 pm

sorry for interrupting

4:32 pm

barbican? defensive entrance?

4:32 pm

no problem SeaSpray

4:32 pm

It is situated on top of an escarpment

4:32 pm

hey sea!

4:32 pm

beautiful views

4:32 pm

good for staying safe!

4:32 pm

Hi stiddie

4:33 pm

very good for staying safe

4:33 pm

an amazing site, such an interesting history!

4:34 pm

hi again all, still not feeling well but thought I would stick my head in again

4:34 pm

better views: http://www.castlewales.com/carreg.html

4:34 pm

Hi Uu

4:34 pm

oh sue, (((hugs))) do you need some tea or ginger ale?

4:34 pm

I could make you hot lemonade if that would help...

4:35 pm

no, just rest, I think - have a bladder infection that is kind of wiping me out

4:35 pm

A hot toddy would work wonders - some honey, lemon and a shot of good scots whisky

4:35 pm

cool lemonade might be nice, though, it is really hot here AGAIN

4:36 pm

and if it doesn't work it does help ease the discomfort

4:36 pm

there you go, glant :-)

4:36 pm

getting the isce out of the freezer for ue

4:36 pm

I'm actually not uncomfortable - antibiotics are kicking in - just feel like a wet dishrag

4:37 pm

*sigh* I should have been born 1000 years ago...

4:37 pm

I have a nole lady's costume you could wear Stid

4:37 pm

sue, I haven't had to deal with that in years, but I remember the feeling. *removes all sugary treats and substitutes sour* lemonade with just a touch of sugar then.

4:37 pm

*noble

4:38 pm

haven't had one in years myself, don't remember getting so wiped out before

4:38 pm

age brings new experiences

4:38 pm

but perhaps it is some combination of stress, heat, new meds, and whatnot

4:39 pm

I have amazing stamina but some things affect me more these days

4:39 pm

that would be so funny -- chubby me pretending to be a noblewoman. As far as I know all my ancestors from those isles were countryfolk and craftspeople (except for one set from Canterbury who had some aristocratic background)

4:39 pm

Sue, I have a friend who gets bladder infections brought on by stress.

4:39 pm

<--- descended from Irish peasants

4:39 pm

I also have a female servant costume :-)

4:39 pm

I would be better made for a townswoman's work garment, I think.

4:39 pm

yep. that's me... servant! LOL

4:40 pm

Linen shioft, woollen overdress

4:40 pm

oh oh, dog is in the front yard. must play before he runs away. back later (((((Hugs hugs hugs))))) be well all!

4:40 pm

*shift

4:40 pm

well, whatever brought it on, I don't like it. Grump.

4:40 pm

and bye, stid!

4:40 pm

Remind me to send you the link when ou=r new website goes live Stid - I have a new education resoutc=rce which you might enjoy using

4:41 pm

Sorry it's making you feel bad Sue

4:41 pm

My eye is much better thna yesterday but is still not right

4:41 pm

She swears by cranberry juice and takes Pyridium for them.

4:41 pm

I am bathing it hourly

4:41 pm

oh well, it is giving me an excuse to stay in bed

4:42 pm

did you go to the doctor,glant?

4:42 pm

What's wrong with your eye Glant?

4:42 pm

I inadvertently got a teensy smudge of spurge sap in it yer=sterday

4:42 pm

i remember yesterday's discussion about your eye = it does sound like it needs medical attention

4:43 pm

It streamed for about 14 hours and go very painful at one point but bathing it at 10 minute intervals helped

4:43 pm

It was fine for about 6 hours tpday and then when I st=arted getting a little tired it began to get sore

4:44 pm

But there are no problems with vision

4:44 pm

Stream? Meaning discharge? I would see a doctor about that.

4:44 pm

I am sure it will be fine tomorrow

4:44 pm

It could have irritated the cornea

4:44 pm

Just as if I was crying but the tears wer pouring out

4:45 pm

btw, here is what I am doing tomorrow night: http://tinyurl.com/3s3ybhq

4:45 pm

It felt as if the skin on the inside of the eyelid was iorritated rather than the eyeball

4:46 pm

Wow, Sue, looks fabulous - hope you're feeling fit enough by then

4:46 pm

might need some medicated drops to help it heal, glant, or some antibiotic ones to prevent infection (son went through this recently with contact lenses that weren't cleaned properly)

4:47 pm

That looks like fun Sue. I hope you're feeling much better by then.

4:47 pm

still have to finish my talk but I figure I can do that tomorrow, should be feeling better then (I have most of it done and know what I want to do for the rest)

4:47 pm

have any of you experienced migraine aura or kaleidoscope vision??

4:48 pm

not me, snags

4:48 pm

I hvae snags - an early warning of migraines for me is a weaving 'stained glass' ribbon on my eye

4:49 pm

<-- going back to bed now

4:49 pm

strange thing

4:49 pm

see you all later!!!

4:49 pm

I thought I was having a stroke

4:49 pm

very strange thing

4:49 pm

glan do u still have them?

4:50 pm

first migraine i evr had was when i lost all vision completely - at 7 months pregnant - luckily I was at home and just lay down and it passed

4:50 pm

oh my

4:50 pm

Occasionally, if I have had several days of high stress and too much alcohol and not enough sleep

4:50 pm

i have to go, but would love talking to you further.

4:51 pm

7:25 pm

yayayayay cos!!!

kje, heard a sh4 on NPR toutin th praises of goat meat

7:27 pm

sp, molly's being a putz... being slapped about for it, and kj is trying to cook fish with bison?

high protein, power in fat than chicken

7:27 pm

i have had goat... not bad, but ca be tough

7:27 pm

first curry i ever had was goat curry in jamaica, put me off curry for years

expensive as well, from what they said

7:28 pm

i had goat the first time i jamaica too!

7:28 pm

in 1982

7:28 pm

goat cheese, however, is another story. Just finished a spinach leek and goatcheese omelet. mmmm

i loved seein allof the goats there, never thought about eating one

7:29 pm

curried goat sounds pretty dreadful

7:29 pm

ah. mine was in 1970, couldn't have been the same goat, kj

7:29 pm

mmmm sounds good doren

they also talked about how most people have eaten chevre but there are many other oat cheeses

7:29 pm

god, i hope not

http://splendidtable.publicradio.org/

7:30 pm

<--- No comment about goats, I swear.

7:30 pm

i've had goat cheddar, goat brie, etc. chevre is good (and yes, kj it was... too hot to cook anything else, and i had all the ingredients... and haven't made eggs in a while)

7:31 pm

I have had lots of goat cheese, love them all... but my fave are still the sheep cheeses (cow least fave)

how can you ignore the "elephant: in the room moll?

7:31 pm

what? molly? no comment?

7:32 pm

sa5?

7:32 pm

plural of bottom of spine

7:32 pm

hahahah

7:33 pm

<---Trying to avoid smacks and "putz" comments.

7:33 pm

oops, pb for to... and sounds lovely to!

7:33 pm

i'm sure it was good owl, i am eating NO pasta, i am trying sooooo hard to lose another five pounds

7:34 pm

7:35 pm

i am dieting too, dores, lots of fruits, veggies, ad protein

ok peeps, time to go shopping now that sun is down. stay cool

7:35 pm

7:35 pm

*serves up a bowl of Goat Curry for Kje*

7:35 pm

later, to...

7:36 pm

goig well, have lost 7 lbs in 3 weeks

7:36 pm

7:37 pm

7 pounds is what i lost too.. in just under four weeks, then made the mistake of taking my daughter to lunch yesterday, gained two back

doren, have you googled the recipe for sassy water?

7:37 pm

i don't kow if i'd trust food from ru... unless it follows a nice to ru day

7:37 pm

m wells diner in queens, ny. a truly class act... incredibly good food in a real diner.. you see them prepping and making everything right in front of you, since there's no kitchen

7:37 pm

no owl, what is that?

7:38 pm

what's that H20 that gives you lip?

7:38 pm

Not sure why that water would be any more productive than regular water.

7:38 pm

a biscuit like no other.... words could not describe it

7:38 pm

i'll bite, what ru?

7:39 pm

I was responding to TO.. not a joke..

7:40 pm

7:41 pm

*wishes there were more n's in the grid tonight*

7:41 pm

7:41 pm

Kje! Atta girl!!!

7:42 pm

*smacks ru for sport*

The ginger also helps calm and soothe your GI tract. per flat belly diet

7:42 pm

i cannot bring myself to smack ru. he is really such a nice fellow, you have no idea.

7:42 pm

*ducks and lets kje hit Molly**

7:42 pm

*Rolls to the left to avoid smack*

7:43 pm

but my GI tract is calm and doesn't need soothing, i just want to lose 15 pounds (but will settle for 7 right now)

7:43 pm

I am sure he is, dorens... but he has ot bribed me with wine like you...

7:43 pm

*blows kisses to Doren*

7:43 pm

Ginger is great if you have an upset GI system but I'm not sure you need it all day long.

7:44 pm

7:47 pm

oh. sure.. we gots lots of wine

7:47 pm

doren.. ..never..

7:47 pm

I did get a case of the red you told me about kj, and absolutely adore it. But it's more likely for you to visit the ny area than for me to go there

7:47 pm

kje.. as often as possible

7:48 pm

hahaha :-)

7:48 pm

true dorens... i eed to make a sweep through and visit several folk

7:48 pm

7:49 pm

7:49 pm

shaddup

7:52 pm

i

7:52 pm

7:52 pm

truly Doren.. not many people have 1982 Haut Brion for their house red

7:53 pm

i've been known to buy a cote du rhones or two in my time, and enjoy them. will look into it kj

7:53 pm

maybe mick jagger or something

7:53 pm

haha ruru, if only!

7:53 pm

i knew that kj, are you kidding?

7:53 pm

he does all rhone blends... truly nice

7:53 pm

oh, i'd take mick jagger too, along with the haut brion

7:53 pm

so I have a ? kje

7:54 pm

if you drink a lot of the rhone blend .. do you get fricked up?

7:54 pm

you'd take mick??? I'll skip the mick and take the haut

7:54 pm

ru i'm drinking the menetou all up!!! help. now i'm in the mood for nice crisp whites, but can't afford that on an every day basis

7:54 pm

someone closer to california smack ru

7:54 pm

no, k, i said i'd take mick along WITH the wine

7:55 pm

oh dores... the whites i got from italy - holy cow yummy

7:55 pm

oh.. try the Francois Chidaine Touraine Sauvignon Blanc Doren at about $13 or less.. it's also terrific

7:55 pm

2009 or 2010

7:55 pm

ok will do ru. I've been drinking saumur which is nice and inexpensive, but not as yummy. Whichh whites kj?

7:56 pm

ah crap ru... don't start metioning more good wine... I have more than my wine fridge can hold ow

7:56 pm

<--- Sits back with her peasant like cold beer and listens to the winos discuss the grape.

7:57 pm

I drink that all the time doren.. its also great.

7:57 pm

7:57 pm

grechetto

7:57 pm

7:58 pm

vermentino

7:58 pm

sorry, sticky n makes these wines hard

7:58 pm

all duly noted. now let's see which my friend the wine seller can get me.

7:59 pm

vermentino? sounds too much like vermin!

7:59 pm

<---Chuckles while picturing Dorens at a Frat party.

7:59 pm

white saumur? chenin blanc? or what?

7:59 pm

I am not a beer drinker either dorens, never got a taste for it

7:59 pm

oh like back when i was 15 and weighed 95 pounds

8:00 pm

though did have a few in belgium I liked... but lets face it, with over 500 choices or somethig like that, one is bound to find some i belgium you like

8:01 pm

yes, white, chenin blanc

8:01 pm

i actually like dark beers... stouts and chocolaty and even dos equis amber (with a hamburger, nothing better), but light beers remind me too much of the smell of those frat parties at Stevens Tech and NYU. budweiser, a la puke

8:02 pm

of course i eat maybe four hamburgers a year.... but will have dark beer with them if possible

8:03 pm

EXACTLY! i had a guy puke beer all over me in the ED when I was an intern... pure beer... and then apologized...

8:03 pm

8:03 pm

8:06 pm

i oly take what you say with levity ru, no worries ever

8:07 pm

that's true.. I am just a smartass in general.

8:07 pm

and occasioally I am too

8:07 pm

LOLOL

8:07 pm

<---thought fricked up was hysterical too

8:08 pm

Hello ... that's yucky weather. It gets over 110 F here, but no humidity when it does.

8:55 pm

ty lb

8:55 pm

howdy origami

8:55 pm

92 degrees here in the dark! Yeah, it really IS the humidity that gets ya here.

8:56 pm

we have had an unusually cool summer. some temps in the 90's but mostly 80's. very low humidity usually.

8:56 pm

*averting eyes* crossy

we are just drowning here!

8:56 pm

our humidity is at 66 percent and it is night now lol

8:56 pm

I'm glad for you, doxy. You are not in the Heat Dome I guess. :)

8:57 pm

we have had a lot of thunderstorms lately. today wasn't bad

8:57 pm

Wea re drowning here too but it is from the humidity. Step outside and it is like breathing underwater.

8:57 pm

poor bzz:((

8:58 pm

It rained here yesterday very briefly - it was like pouring water on the hot stones in a sauna. Just miserable after.

8:58 pm

yes,a short rain just makes it that much worse

8:59 pm

Silly question - do most Canadians have air conditioning, or does it depend on the area in which you live?

9:00 pm

depends on area and finances,we normally only get over 85f a few times a year in this area,so many do not bother

9:00 pm

but this year has been record breaking for heat

9:01 pm

Bet lots are suffering, then.

9:01 pm

an average window style air conditioner can bump the electric bill for a two bedroom home up by 200 a month easy

9:02 pm

Yes, it's very costly!

9:02 pm

they average it out at 7.50 a day extra if you keep it at 75f inside

9:03 pm

ne6?

9:03 pm

read a report on it today

9:03 pm

I need to try to keep ours a little warmer. I've gotten used to about 70 degrees.

9:03 pm

Yes Snags it was. When i was a kid the pool was outside. I think they either extended out over the pool or something. Not seen the actual plans

and because I was born they lost everything

mkg - the st 8 is a compound word - something from the sky and something from your face

When I was born my mother gave up working for the company my father and his partner owned. The partner cheated the tax department and they lost everything
