12:32 am

wtg flosey !!

they cancelled at the 11th hour (literally 15 min before showing)... all that work grrrr... said they were sick of looking at properties and decided they were building...was another realtor not ours...

12:33 am

wtg flosey -- I'm still hunting for one

12:33 am

nbs. got the st

12:33 am

aww crap

12:33 am

oh dee, what a bummer!

12:33 am

wtg m !!

12:33 am

ah Dee, so disappointing

got teary today... saw the perfect house for us, but hubby really wants ours sold first... and I understand why... it truly was heartbreaking...

12:33 am

need that lone d.. have nbs

haven't heard back from 2 other "very" interested couples - one from Canada...

12:34 am

we lucked out with our last house..had already moved to this one so the other one stayed nice

12:34 am

dy4

12:34 am

hope the Canadians come through..they're nice people

12:34 am

our dollar is back below par at the moment -- probably the reason re the Canadians, Dee

me, too, west... didn't meet them, but they sounded neat ... young couple... made me think they would love our house as much as we have

12:35 am

but nan, dee's house is priced so ow!

12:35 am

oh no -- a fish!! -- ty m9

12:35 am

*so LOW

they are being relocated here by a local company nan... not sure what they have to finish up in Can....

12:36 am

:-)\

that it is jili... thot we were smart in doing so, but now wondering if we goofed by pricing low

12:36 am

1/2 way

I was especially depressed today, because I think we found the perfect house for us

12:36 am

the right house to the right people..ours sold to a couple with triplet boys and they fell in love with it..all I could think was 'my poor house' lol

lol westie... tooo funny

12:37 am

oh phooey -- thought I had nbt but now I see I don'thave the O on the right

12:37 am

ha ha

12:39 am

wtg jilli !!

hubby doesn't want to, but after seeing the house today, I think he is going to at least chat with our banker this week... he is a commissioned salesman, and I hate for him to have that kind of pressure... not sure yet if we'll consider that or not...

12:39 am

I've seen it in grid before

12:39 am

im5

12:39 am

me too m9

12:39 am

all of a sudden it's cold..I put on my flannel nightgown

1:45 am

list in my profile

LOL... west for sure... on top of all the house .... our daughter and fiance are coming home Fri & Sat for an annual Turkey Roast (hubby "volunteered" us to make stuffing for 40+ people)

1:45 am

that's a perfect solution flosey

he is making mashed potatoes and gravy...

1:46 am

oh my Dee, that's quite a tablefull!

1:46 am

goodnight all...

1:46 am

hi and goodnight Chris

night legend and ty again

1:46 am

outside event, and sounds like weather will be fabulous... turkey cooked over open fire

lol ru

1:47 am

I'm with you there ruru

1:47 am

oh, great, have never tried that

1:47 am

flosey you'll be celebrating your Thanksgiving with your sons

long, long story short... friends' family started this in 1954... friend had a stroke a few years ago, so my hubby decided to make the event happen like usual...

1:48 am

what a nice memorial for him

1:48 am

yes west, it'll be fun

great idea, but lots of work...

1:48 am

bet they can't wait to gobble it up

Rude word in this grid, tsk tsk.

it really is fantastic ru... turkey is put on sassafrass sticks.. wrapped with wire and foil and cooked many hours

1:49 am

those words make me spit

1:49 am

lol west

LOL

So... you spit, do you?

*ducks*

1:49 am

OMG. And you announce it in here?

1:50 am

Ummn, why do I have a feeling we're not on the same page? Haha!

1:50 am

1:54 am

ooh, sorry ru, just reading back, 'drop it' ok

1:54 am

that's so cool

1:55 am

the drilled potatoes

1:55 am

is it a black and decker dee?

yep

1:55 am

I thought drilled potatoes only happened in the army

I prepare the stuffing at home and then it gets baked over fire... probably ru

1:56 am

I love stuffing

lol the only "iffy" part is the gravy.... some years it's great and others not so hot... tough to control heat over fire...

1:56 am

take a picture of the food before everyone digs in

1:56 am

my favorite part of turkey dinners

mine has a cayenne kick to it (my mom's recipe)... me, too, ru!!!

1:57 am

yum west

1:57 am

I have a great stuffing recipe.. Ma Hubbles famous turkey stuffing

I imagine they blend in nicely

2:02 am

what's red eye gravy?

2:02 am

what's red eye gravy?

2:02 am

what's red eye gravy?

probably not

2:02 am

they do blend in you don't add much

2:03 am

the marjoram and oregano cover the prune flavor up a bit too

made with ham drippings, coffee, or coca cola... beautiful color... salt, pepper, can't remember the other ingredients... hang on checking...

2:03 am

Wow.. Molly does a coke recipe too.. I've never tried something like that .. it kind of sounds weird to me

2:04 am

sounds very southern

2:04 am

yeah I think so

2:04 am

if it doesn't turn out do you get a refund?

1 (3-pound) country ham, store bought, sliced 2 tablespoons fat from the ham 1/2 cup coffee 1/4 cup water 2 tablespoons butter 1 beef bouillon cube (optional) Grits, recipe follows Directions Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fat from the ham and render. When the fat is rendered, add the ham steaks and pan-fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove the ham from the pan and set aside on a plate and keep warm. To the pan, add the coffee and water and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the butter and the bouillon cube and stir to incorporate. Serve the gravy over the ham steaks on grits. Grits: 2 cups water 1 1/4 cups milk 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup quick cooking grits, not instant (suggested: Quaker) 1/2 cup butter In a small pot, bring water, milk, and salt to a boil. Slowly stir grits into boiling mixture. Stir continuously and thoroughly until grits are well mixed. Let the pot return to a boil, cover pot with a lid, lower the temperature, and cook for approximately 30 minutes stirring occasionally. Add more water if necessary. Grits are done when they have the consistency of smooth cream of wheat. Stir in half the butter and serve with remaining butter divided equally on top of each portion, or serve with fruit or with a savory meal. Yield: 4 servings

Paula Deene recipe... close to my mom's

2:05 am

ooh.. that does sound interesting

2:17 am

Or you guys draft andrew luck

Here's another laugh for the day from a facebook posting: From Facebook..... A while back, at the entrance of a gym, there was a picture of a very thin and beautiful woman. The caption was "This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?" The story goes, a woman (of clothing size unknown) answered the following way: "Dear people, whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, seals, curious humans), they are sexually active and raise their children with great tenderness. They entertain like crazy with dolphins and eat lots of prawns. They swim all day and travel to fantastic places like Patagonia, the Barents Sea or the coral reefs of Polynesia. They sing incredibly well and sometimes even are on cds. They are impressive and dearly loved animals, which everyone defend and admires. Mermaids do not exist. But if they existed, they would line up to see a psychologist because of a problem of split personality: woman or fish? They would have no sex life and could not bear children. Yes, they would be lovely, but lonely and sad. And, who wants a girl that smells like fish by his side? Without a doubt, I'd rather be a whale. At a time when the media tells us that only thin is beautiful, I prefer to eat ice cream with my kids, to have dinner with my husband, to eat and drink and have fun with my friends. We women, we gain weight because we accumulate so much wisdom and knowledge that there isn't enough space in our heads, and it spreads all over our bodies. We are not fat, we are greatly cultivated. Every time I see my curves in the mirror, I tell myself: "How amazing am I ?! "

too funny Indy is only 2 hours south of us

2:18 am

that's cute dee

2:18 am

I shared that on FB and got all kinds of responses about making excuses for obesity.... blah blah blah.

2:18 am

okay.. 14 left for tomorrow.. nite all

2:18 am

LOL Dee, read that on FB

Yes, that's good.

2:19 am

that's excellent !!

Night ruru.

2:48 am

sutl should be valid. I can be very sutl.

2:49 am

Yep. How are they done, mrp? With a program/software of some kind?

2:56 am

cheers for the clues then... every positive is welcome. *hugs*

Aww man. Sorry you're having such a hard time, mrp. :(

no sorry needed Martin, but I would like to belt the crap out of the person who said 'God only gives you what you can handle" :)

2:59 am

He measures out your cross to the width of your shoulders... but He doesn't give you 1/1000 of an inch for free.

bbl, have to get dinner for the smaller ones in the family, the less defenceless and innocent... my 'protected' ones... Hang on... they also pissed me off today! Off to bed with water and gruel!!!

3:00 am

lol! Hug them from me. Try and eat some yourself, and see you later.

3:00 am

your sense of humor will see you through mrp

3:02 am

Yeah I bet, mrp. :(

3:13 am

3:16 am

she works so hard

3:16 am

oh awesome :) Perfect pillow.

3:17 am

I think we could all use one

3:17 am

Ok, check again you three?

3:17 am

And you can read all the gory details.

3:17 am

3:26 am

when we lived in Mississippi we had a big ol' tom cat named Beauregard..he used to chase the neighbors hound dogs out of our yard

and more than half way, so must poof now

3:27 am

he was a yellow tiger and started off as the runt of the litter

3:30 am

bye Jjenny

3:30 am

Hi all. West - where did you live in Miss?

3:30 am

Meridian

3:30 am

it really was a pretty town

3:31 am

oh I had a runt too once, a black cat. He became a demon as well :) Sweet as can be, but no tolerance for other cats in his territory. Except of course our other cat, they were ok together.

3:31 am

My sister lives in Kosciusko.

3:31 am

there is something so easy going about the South

3:32 am

sprite what was your cat's name?

3:33 am

it was Vullis, which means garbage in dutch. He really looked it when we got him. But he grew up beautifully and gradually became Pukkie.

Oh ok, sprite. I'm sure your head will be shaking when you read it.

3:33 am

that's so funny

Haha, garbage? Great name.

3:34 am

my friend's grandson is Luke but when he was a baby they called him Pukkie

3:34 am

already answered, Beau

3:34 am

aw that is sweet. Pukkie means 'little one' in dutch.

3:35 am

I'll bet his mother would like to call him Vullis too lol

3:36 am

hahahaha! Don't all mothers, from time to time :D

3:36 am

my baby is 40

3:37 am

I wonder why not all words -ist have a valid -ism.

3:37 am

I've tried that too

3:38 am

incredible, west. My babies are 15 and 13 and I just cannot believe it sometimes. Some days I'd love to put them out with the vullis...

3:38 am

will we ever solve the mystery of enable?

3:38 am

never. The randomness is overwhelming.

3:39 am

I only slept one hour last night and I wanted to wait to say hello to Ruby but I think I'm going to have to say good night..say hello for me please

Ok sprite, replied.

Ok westford... good night to you.

3:39 am

will do, west. Take care. I hope you can sleep like a baby now.

3:40 am

good night martin, sprite and dianne..think I'll be out before my head hits the pillow

3:40 am

or maybe I'll fall asleep on the stairs lol

Sleep well and have sweet dreams.

Uh, but not on the stairs.

3:41 am

thank you and *poof*

3:46 am

sleeping on the stairs, lol. That is even worse than on a keyboard.

Yep. I picture people with key imprints in their faces from falling asleep on a keyboard... just imagine what stairs would do? lol

3:47 am

I am afraid to picture that :)

I wouldn't go there. It isn't pretty.

It's a mental image I'm trying to get rid of now.

3:48 am

hmz starting to slow down considerably at 40 left.

That's right where I started to slow down too!

3:49 am

:)

3:53 am

ah, da6/24. Isn't it strange that that one is valid, but ronin isn't?

yep. And da6,30 too.

4:03 am

yes

Slightly different spelling of that word.

Just replied to your email btw.

4:04 am

a more correct one, actually

Yes, that's what I thought.

4:13 am

4:31 am

gm

5:24 am

5:51 am

6:48 am

well, I am back - anybody here?

6:53 am

g'mornin to whoever is here. How goes the babble battle?

hi Sue - I'm here. Up early on the west coast

6:53 am

I'm here too! Good morning everyone!

6:54 am

hi, gramma, rasta, and car! It was getting pretty lonely here!

6:55 am

We're here for you. Dry your tears and don't be afraid little girl. You're never really alone.

6:56 am

{{feels very cozy & safe in Babble Land}}

6:56 am

that's ok, the cats are awake even if no one else in my house is...

i've got jetlag = we're just back from France

seeing the kid

6:58 am

I speak Babblonian. Do you need help getting around this wilderness?

6:58 am

ooh, nice, rasta! where did you go?

my dd lives in Paris, so we were there some, but then 10 days on a canal boat on the Saone

6:59 am

very nice! I lived in Geneva for a while and spent a fair amount of time in nearby France - Ain and the Haute-Savoie

7:00 am

It all sounds lovely!

7:00 am

dd, hmm, dd? divorced dad? dumb dog? dippy doodle?

dear daughter? this is standard computerspeak on the listservs, anyway

7:01 am

dear daughter, I suspect

7:01 am

snap, rasta!

7:01 am

Help please with the upper T? I just can't see the words.

7:01 am

so this morning's meeting (at 8 am) is about degree paths and success markers in the science departments

7:02 am

brb

I majored in Chem

7:02 am

it said to ignore it if I'm not working on degree paths and success markers, but if I'm not I don't think anyone else is either (not in my department)

7:02 am

ts5/12 and its plural, car

but what do you need to know about degree paths? you're either on one or you're not

7:03 am

I've seen a similar word in the grid before, ending in e - this one ends in a different vowel

7:03 am

well, I suspect we're supposed to design them for the students

7:03 am

so they can know if they are in fact on one

7:04 am

Whew! TY! Got 'em!

not too many students take chemistry for the fun of it

though that would be me

7:04 am

thing is, we have a small enough number of majors every year that I can counsel them all individually

7:04 am

hahaha, rasta, I teach physics. not a lot of students in there for the fun of it either

7:05 am

chemistry has a considerably larger enrollment than we do

aren't you in Chicago? surprised it's a small school. Or just a small dept>

7:06 am

Northern Illinois University. About 18,000 undergrads, of whom maybe 40 are majoring in physics.

I took astronomy, and that was way fun. P Chem, not so much

7:07 am

I'm teaching a junior-level course in astronomy now - like the freshman course but with a lot more math. It's also fun, though, and a lot smaller class

my mom teaches at what used to be Sangamon State, got sucked up by UIS, spfld

7:08 am

and I took P Chem as an undergraduate under a special dispensation for physics majors - we didn't have to take the lab

7:08 am

ah, yes, I am familiar with UIS, have even been to meetings there

7:08 am

what does your mom teach?

Actually she's emeritus ow, but it was English dept. Creative writing, modern literature

*now

7:10 am

<--- looking forward to being emeritus

7:10 am

<---- hoping the state retirement system still exists then....

7:13 am

ok, I am off! see you all later!!

Cat got your tongue, Inge?

8:52 am

Inge has a vision problem and is prob typing in the wrong box

8:53 am

Ah.

8:53 am

What do the 7's start with?

8:53 am

or she's using the Babble Expert that periodically throws letters into chog when she enters words into the grid

8:54 am

I have an st 7/44

8:55 am

mi ou st

8:55 am

Ty, ursh.

8:55 am

7's are ou 7/40, mi 7/36, and st 7/44

8:56 am

Found the st and the mi. Pondering the ou.

8:56 am

yes inge does use babble expert - she really struggles when it is down

8:58 am

got to 100 words - NBS and NBT - BBL after getting some work done

8:58 am

there are a few people who have a glitch in the BE where it enters letters into chog sporadically when they enter words into the grid. Inge and shooshoo and (occasionally lbd) have that happen the most often I think

11:22 am

thats a good idea, annie.

11:22 am

usually works for me

11:22 am

and I hope you feel better

11:23 am

thanks. lesson learned from today: keep a spare set of contacts at work.

11:26 am

i am lucky isuppose, i have the big 5-0 coming soon and just got my first pair of glasses and they are readers only

11:29 am

you are so young, crossy!

11:31 am

Just a puppy,that is me:-)

11:31 am

be back later, off to the library

11:32 am

me too crossy ;)

11:33 am

I quit wearing contacts when I started needing glasses to read - for a while I was wearing contacts for distance and glasses to read, it finally occurred to me that this was kind of silly

11:33 am

Howdy jan

11:33 am

so now i have bifocals, and if something has really tiny print I can take my glasses off and hold it really close (one advantage to being very nearsighted!)

11:33 am

3

11:34 am

and hi, jan and sea!

11:34 am

i wear bifocals...clear on top, readers below

11:34 am

I amstill good with distance,problem wasmy arms were suddeny too short to read my books lol

11:35 am

yeah, i dont have a problem with distance either but i cant focus on anything close so i just wear glasses all the time

11:36 am

<--- can't see the big E on the chart without glasses

11:36 am

Ouch

11:37 am

That is 20 over 400 like my mrs

11:37 am

pretty much. Correctable with glasses though; I just have to never lose them, because I'd never be able to find them!

11:38 am

im about the same, sue. i never wore glasses at ALL until high school. through high school and college, i only needed reading glasses, nothing else. enter the workforce, sit in front of a computer 8+ hours a day, eyes go *poof* now ive got contacts and i cant see a thing without them.

11:38 am

and that is with my bad eye; my other eye can see the E, and usually the next row.

11:38 am

I started wearing them at age 10, probably spent too much time with my nose in a book (at least that was what my mother said)

11:41 am

Lol sue,99 percent of babblers have thier noses in books on a daily basis..the other one percent are lookinf fo a pair of glasses

11:41 am

i actually had perfect vision for years. threaded needles for my grandmother and that sort of thing. then just one day, it started a quick descent into blindness...

11:44 am

perfect vision for years, after having eye surgery as a toddler. lesson learned that day: when your mother says "dont make that face or it will stay that way," shes right.

11:47 am

oh dear, eva :-(

11:48 am

yay for muscle spasms in the eye...heh

11:53 am

oh well. time to head to my WW meeting. think light thoughts for me!

11:53 am

howdy dan

6:11 pm

6:12 pm

why doesn

6:12 pm

sorry, why doesn't the list like ludite?

6:12 pm

LIED

6:12 pm

oops, OFF THE THE PB

6:12 pm

I think it has two d's, mich, and is a proper noun anyway.

6:13 pm

THAT ONE IT WILL TAKE, THOUGH :-)

6:13 pm

ah, thanks

6:13 pm

aww, it's late here, gimme a break!

6:13 pm

tell us how you reallyfeel mich

6:13 pm

Hey, mich, my son and I are coming to Israel at the end of the year!

6:14 pm

Whoo hoo! How cool, can we meet?

6:14 pm

I just finished making chicken soup, dumplings, veg soup, chicken cutlets and I am zonked. Waiting for the veg soup to finish cooking so I can go to sleep.

6:15 pm

maybe! My niece is getting married at Kibbutz Yahel on Dec. 30, but we are arriving on the 26th and leaving Jan. 5th

6:15 pm

I have a sister in law who lives in (or near) Karkur, I think we will be spending some time with her

6:15 pm

Where is that Kibbutz? Will you be spending any time in Jerusalem. Where is Karkur, I have never even heard of that!

6:16 pm

anyway I will send you an email and we will see if we can work something out

6:16 pm

Yahel is about 70 km north of Eilat (so way south)

6:16 pm

Karkur is east of Tel Aviv somewhere

6:16 pm

OK, I hope we can work something out.

6:17 pm

near Pardes Hanna (Karkur is)

6:17 pm

Ahh, OK, I know where that is.

6:18 pm

Nothing in this country is very far. (well, except for Eilat)

6:18 pm

at least I think she still lives there, she did the last time I was there although that was 12 years ago...

6:18 pm

Are you still in touch with her?

6:18 pm

oh yes, we are pretty close

6:19 pm

she is the one who write No More Enemies (info in my profile)

6:19 pm

OK, I did read that.

6:19 pm

remarkably close considering I divorced her brother about 15 years ago (!)

6:19 pm

I mean, in your profile, not her book.

6:20 pm

right, that's what I assumed :-)

6:21 pm

It's funny how things work out like that. I adore my sister-in-law, when I call I am always happy if my brother is out, since I get to talk to her longer! On the other hand, I wish I could divorce my mother-in-law and my DH's sister, while keeping DH (would probably improve the relationship too!)

6:23 pm

lol! Well, I get along with all 3 of my ex's sisters, and none of them care for him very much - they are also all very fond of my son (which is nice).

6:24 pm

anyway I am getting excited about the trip already!

6:24 pm

That is nice, it's nice he still has his aunts. How old is he?

6:24 pm

he's 21

6:24 pm

Very nice!

6:24 pm

TUST

6:25 pm

and his cousins are all about the same age, maybe 19-24

6:25 pm

Oy there go again.

6:25 pm

wasn't a word anyway :-)

6:26 pm

however I am exhausted - long day and I haven't been sleeping well - so I am going to go collapse. I will send you an email, though.

6:26 pm

That's so nice. I love when my kids can connect with their cousins. I have 2 nieces here now, one came to live here (she's 23) and one is on a study program for the year (18). They are both coming together next weekend to visit. I am twisting arms so all my married kids will be here too. It's a little sensitive with the in-laws since it's a holiday though.

6:26 pm

very nice!! I hope they do get together.

6:26 pm

OK. Looking forward to it.

6:29 pm

Hello! Just wanted to let people know i'll be out of town and offline Friday-Monday (GMT-4) :D

6:30 pm

hope it's for a good occassion.

6:31 pm

6:39 pm

6:40 pm

Soup is almost ready. Is it religious or just spiritual?

6:47 pm

It's an eclectic group, there will be sessions on the Norse pantheon, particle physics, a bardic circle and more :) We each get different things from it.

6:47 pm

so spiritual for some, deeply religious for others

6:47 pm

Hi all. da6?

I don't worry about that "film".... but it will be spic and span before we leave for Az. in the morning !!

7:17 pm

:-D feather! I am having a GREAT time subbing. Might decide to never do full-time teaching. *wicked grin* it's FUN to teach when I don't have to plan the lessons or explain to the parents why their kids aren't getting their work done in class.

7:17 pm

lol, a lot of the teachers that retired and are now subbing seem to love it!

7:17 pm

best of both worlds stidmama

7:17 pm

:)

7:18 pm

Hello...

7:18 pm

pretty much for exactly that reason

7:18 pm

howdy jellen

7:18 pm

hi jeleln

7:18 pm

jellen even. oops.

7:18 pm

Hello Jellen! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.

7:18 pm

:-D yep. of course, I don't have any benefits, and am making less than paraeducators make....

7:18 pm

hey jellen

7:18 pm

(((JELLEN))) gets a big ole crossy type bear hug

7:18 pm

Hello featherbee!How are you doing? Welcome to grid

hi jellen !

7:18 pm

ah, the downside. right.

7:19 pm

but if it is enough to live on and you are having such fun with it..then it is good

7:19 pm

well, Tom pays the big bills, and he has benefits. BUT I would like to be able to pay off my student loans before I retire...

7:20 pm

and lol@ benefits..up here the big companies play hardball now,they hire you on with a year less a day contract,lay you off for one day and rehire you= no senority and no benefits

7:20 pm

took my brother and his mrs better part of 20 years to pay off student loans

7:21 pm

hard to believe your supreme court lets something like that stand. microsoft did something similar with "contractors" who worked the same projects and the same hours as "employees"... but with no benefits or other rights. That was nipped in the bud eventually.

7:22 pm

or you have to be your own company to get work,you are just paying for a job and you want benefits? get them yourself lol

7:22 pm

I took about 2 years to pay off my bachelor's -- but I was single back then and didn't have to think about retirement. This will take longer, but if we are relatively frugal once I am fully employed I should do it in five years or less.

7:23 pm

when i take on a new service station-50,000 security deposit..just buying a job:/

7:24 pm

??? what do you mean? you have to pay money to GET a job?

7:28 pm

I have to ad 5/14 that I did not babble listless when I to4/4ed with the grid. I am done, so now I will ai 4/5 you w/a story of clues to help those who are st 7/44 by the grid.Was ad5/14ed by my parents when I was two years old.I was so ji4/11 from malnutrition, that the agency expedi4/5d the ad5/14ion process so my parents could start nursing me back to health. They worked with an agent who took the le4/5 and guided them through the whole process. Agent sa 4/5 to my parents,"I do hope you realize how costly it will be to take care of your daughter". The agent didn't om4/5 anything about what their ad5/14ion would enta4/4. However, parents were po5/12ive that they wanted to do this & so they did.The da4/5 I came to the U.S. was August 4, 1973. My parents were sm4/5ten with me as soon as they saw me, a very scared and ti5/14 little girl in the airport wearing my red ao dai holding a little red balloon. Parents met me at JFK and drove me to their home on ea4/4ern Long Island.My Father and Mother invited the agent for dinner so she could meet me. They thought it was the le 5/10 they could do after everything that she did for them. So when I was a little girl, I walked with a slight li 4/6 because I had weak legs from being so sick. Now that I have ai 5/14 you with a story of clues, I'm off.Want to avoid a du 4/6 with husband over computer so I am signing off even before hubby po 4/6 in here and ou 4/5s me off the computer at the end of my time li 5/12. Now I am going to po 4/5 this story in my profile and then I am going to go watch the film "Gorillas in the Mi4/5". I shall return to this web si4/4 later on this evening.

7:29 pm

9:37 pm

Thanks, crossy!

9:39 pm

I liked it better when Jr. high was 7-9th grade. definite time to allow kids to go thru that awkward stage with their peers and not be on display for the high schoolers to pick on or for the little kids to be influenced.

9:40 pm

I agree- I like the fact that they are still in the same school but a different building. It works nicely

9:40 pm

it is hard enough being awkward without going to a new school

9:40 pm

May I please have a clue for ji4-10? Thanks

10:55 pm

10:57 pm
