does anyone have a banana bag? I sent away for one but haven't used it yet..no bananas
what's a banana bag for ?
t
yes we have no bananas
that's the song my Dad always sang in the shower
no but I got a potato bag all black inside
it's supposed to keep the bananas from ripening too quickly..it goes in the fridge
that way you can.. dole them out?
what a great memory flosey !
you bet ruru now we just throw them out
if my nana's are black i make banana bread
hey, Mr. Tally Man, tally me bananas, daylight come and we wanna go home...
if life gives u black bananas, make banana bread!
great songs!
too hot right now cos but I usually do
true. its hot. oven and summer = bad combo
I want more banana songs
somewhere over the banana
banana fana fo-fana
yes !!
at the coca-banana
o banana tree
backing up scouser..tell us about your potato bag and why is it black inside?
star spangled banana?
because potatoes have eyes
lmao
I see
in some central american places only black bananas considered fit to eat others unripe. My city made much from banana imports
<--love bananas.. grilled banana and PB sandwiches.. yum
my ex sister in law is from Mexico and she loves black bananas
ty ru - good explanation. bag did not work too well - wonderful crop of potato sprouts in cupboard
Day-Oh
I have a feeling the banana bag won't work that well either
fact faint
very sorry
flosey?
interesting how the potato plant family gives us the most and least toxic items
getting very tired
it's allowed
you must be pretty exhausted after all the company
sounds like a chog-condition flosey
deadly nightshade ?
yes, hated to see them go though
not so scouser. lots of folks are allergic to potatoes. they are in the nightshade family, along with tomatoes, peppers and eggplant.
flosey were the grandsons reunited?
yes I am sensitive to any potato-outside-bits and even vaguely green bits on them
you might check out noarthritis.com. changed my life when I gave them up.
oh dear potatoes are so good
gave up spuds Roses6?
no, Dave didn't get out still hopes to come but this summer
yes, completely. I gave up all nightshades at first. now I can eat some, but not potatoes at all. Traded them for being able to walk.
will they all come flosey? his wife and son too?
well I expect son will come, dil may not be able to
is it as hot in TO as it has been in the midwest?
that's most interesting Rose, especially in view of all the processed potato we get these days bulking up other foods
apparently, west - Gord and Linda enjoyed our temp
a nice reprieve for them
are you done with the rain?
yeah, I have to watch out for it in soups and lots of 'snacks'. Now it's corn chips for me!
yes looks like sunny all week
we have been so fortunate..a few hot days here and there but nothing like the rest of the country
Rose - I suppose it is a double-whammy good idea, lose weight (reduce load on limbs) and remove toxins
i don't eat potatoes much anymore..
mostly due to the carbohydrates
I didn't lose any weight, replaced them with sweet potatoes (which interestingly are another plan altogether) and corn chips.
so many restaurants are serving sweet potatoes now
yes.. people are yammering for them
lol ru.. yeah fast food now has sweet potato fries.. BK and Wendys
yeah west, lucky timing for me! Also, I bake a few every few days and eat them sliced cold in salads. They travel well too.
my neighbor feeds cold sweet potatoes to her dog. he loves it.
would someone clue the sc 8 i just don't see it
most of the sc5 before it
Seriously though, if you or someone you know has arthritis, it's worth trying no nightshades. worked for me.
help with the last ce6?
thanks roses.. i need to consider that
check out noarthritis.com for more info. I went off them for two weeks and then one day noticed the pain, and realized I'd eaten potato chips with lunch. After that I was and continue to be a believer, not to mention that now I walk everywhere all the time miles and miles pain free.
stats for the lower left c?
goes to show there is no such thing as a frite lunch
ce 4
thanks ruru, got it.
think I am going to bed.. good night all you lovely people
goodnight ru, think I better too, falling asleep

wtg tijani
hello babble friends
{{sprite}}
hey medusa :)
red boxes of doom...
medusa, it looks like Lickety's list is up.
thanks sprite. just refreshed it and found it! lol
lol :)
do you know if the ba4 word that couldn't be entered yesterday was fixed before the end?
back later, 59 left
heollo everybody (anybody?)
hey ruby :)
{_{sprite}}
how's the ruby pup?
I pretended like nothing was wrong when I saw him, just saying "Today is anaother day" and all is well so far
smart :)
good morning my babble friends;)
{{crossy}}
hi crossy :) First book of Majipoor finished :)
((ruby)) ((sprite))
good stuff sprite:) so what do you tyhink? like it enough to go on?
oh absolutely. A series about the power of love :)
Good dday!
:))
hiya Scrabs :)
scrabby!:))
all my favorite girls this morning:)))
:D
It is hard to return to work after a glorious summer weekend.
{{scrabs}} a bunny hug for you
I bet :) But at least that weekend is yours forever.
Ty, Ruby. Bunny Bea is noisily devouring her morning salad nearby.
do the rabbits make noise intentionally and "bunny foot" around the rest of the time? I had a friend who said her other wise quiet cat would periodically "thunder" around the house
the bunny I had as a kid used to stamp when he heard something outside
we called him our watchbunny
Thumping--yes, quite loudly. It is a warning signal to other bunnies. Downstairs' bunny Bea likely hears deer or raccoons outside during the night and she starts the thumping. Then the boys upstairs get going and we have drum practice in the house.
And sometimes they sprint like little crazy bunnies.
lol!
so cu**
I share a bedroom with Tucker so I often say, "Tucker, settle down. Stop thumping."
lol :D
Ruby thumps, but I think it's just part of her scratching
how is she today?
vet and I think her heart is getting tired because she's panting all the time, even when it isn't hot. Tonight vet is coming and we'll try some heart meds. Anything to keep her going comfortably as long as possible
teen
(((ruby)))
sorry
it will be awful when she goes, as she and I have a special "thing"
yeah I know. You'll miss her like crazy.
How old is Ruby? My friend's cat, Hudson, is 20 and losing weight, but still jumping on the tables and counters and is eating.
wow that is old for a cat. Lovely.
rUBY IS 9 1/2, BUT WE'VE NEVER HAD A CHOW MAKE IT TO 10
20 IS AMAZING!
didn't mean to shout
It's ok
BRB, must grab breakfast
bye scrabs
see you soon
very interesting our neil and mom are flying out to the u.k this morning for a visit with adam:)
was just chatting with adam
I felt ruby wasn't happy when I was visiting you... am so sorry I was correct :(
adam who?
no no, not at all, sprite. She is just tired....and isnt a very friendly dog
lambert
which mom?
neil/s mom?
yeah I mean happy bodily, sweetie
yup
lol,sorry not awake yet.i am not being clear
you lost me, crossy :) Your son and mom are visiting?
she certainly came over to you, just isn't a big tal-wagger, not like Mr. Crazy-head puppy-boy
HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY SPRITE.
sorry no,you neil from babble and HIS mother are flying out to london englad to see neils brother adam lambert
our*
she was a darling to me, ruby, she loved to be cuddled around her ears and snout.
I wasn't going to say hi but yous are my favs that I always miss
I guess he can no longer be called a puppy. He's about 45 lbs. and has tarted lifting his leg! Yay. (He also tries to mount Ruby.... not her favorite thing lol)
hi lady :) Thank you darling.
The American Idol guy is Neil's brother?
howdy herin
so happy to see you, too, herin
yes scrabbs
Hi herin
started*
I am confused
*hugs lady*
he is not my neil, crossy
i better have a tea.i must be speaking in tongues
he isn't quite 7 months old and is taller than Ruby and still does his trick (which he refused to do for Sprite)
lol indeed... he was a perfect chow!
are you following the race, herin? That Cadel is such a smart rider!
Scrabbler, I think your friends Hudson may have diabetes...
Nope. No sport in this house
not what i meant sprite.we have my typos and confusion.lets talk about rubys dog instead:)
tea is good. Tea is nie.
nice*
I have been watching the Tour everyday. So many injured men. So many have dropped out or lost any chance of catching up.
hello red
lol crossy :D
hi red!
crossy dives into the grid to wake up..sploosh!
I felt so sorry for Ryder and for Samuel Sanchez who was sitting on the road, crying, having lost his Olympic chance
Hi I usually lurk in the am, but...
Hi Red. My friend just wants this cat to die because she has never liked him. I like him. He comes to me and purrs when I pet him.
I said hello, red, but in the wrong box!
lol
aw that is so sad, Scrabs
So a quick catch up but you are saying Negative Neils brother is in USA Ido
lol ruby, that didn't score!
that is awful!
that is sad, after 20 yrs you would think they got used to it.
has won some Idol competition, lady.
Why would anyone want to wish that on a pet. Why not give the animal to a loving family
how can people be so cold?
indeed.
Was this said on Babble recently
I get mad at my friend. She favors her little Peke-a-Poo. She also is not fond of her racehorse-built Choc Lab who I adore.
Neils brother is Glambert?
why do you have pets if you dont like them? I admit there are many moment when Teulu is a pain in the rear...
My friend can be very dramatic and thoughtless sometimes.
I don't know, lady. Has been common knowledge for a long time, it seems.
lol red... pets are like kids, in that respect... sometimes you really want to paste them behind the wallpaper and move uit quickly. But that feeling is very shortlived :)
See the rock I like hiding under
I had no idea..
My friend wants her pets to be the way she wants and when they aren't she isn't so fond of them
*giggles* Lady, don't worry about it. It is great to see you.
So her kids and her husband and I pay attention to the cat and the Lab.
that is sad, Scrabs. Animals SO have their own personalities. It is what I love best about them.
at least the lab has the rest of his fan club
I don't even mind when the pups eat the wallpaper
as long as they don't bite or mess in the house
Sprite back at you
Yes, I often want to smack my friend for being uncaring at times.
My cat hates everyone equally. I have told people that and if they don't like it don't come into my house. She is not a fan of new people
I can imagine. Must be hard to be a true animal lover and see your friend not being one.
Yikes, I was supposed to leave for work 1 min ago. I must get prettied up and into work clothes. Bye.
Bye Scrabs, have a good day at work
you're pretty enough already, scrabs! bye
Take care Scrabs
cu
By the way when I said Glambert I say that with total love
lol... that was a weird typo that actually made sense
good, lady. Love is good. Love rocks :)
hagd scrabbs
I also have to go face delores Umbridge in a few minutes.
uhoh... you have a delores umbridge at work?
It is a nick name that has been floating about in cyber space for a while. Plus it always reminds me of Lambert the sheepish lion
Boy - I hope that isn't her real name Red
Red I had a Delores for a boss too
Hello everyone
hi lyn :) xxx
{{lynxx}}
I think Delores may take umbridge
so would I, with a name like that!
she is a harry potter character, lyn
very, very powerhungry and sadistic personage
ooohhh lol - easy to tell m y kids are adults
*grins*
Hi Lynxx
hi Infernal - how have you been?
Delores Had a thing for pink sweaters and being purely evil. The HP books portrated her better
Good.
O and cats lots of cat plats
plates
I haven't seen the movies yet where she features.
130 words, but stuck on the left-hand u and the lower c. Also the 8's. Any help out there?

ur4.6 Ruby
strudel, I think
yes - but you know how these Americans spell
Well since I have the house to my self I am going to go back to playing games on the big screen. That and the keyboard for the tv computer link is a pain to type on.

I like that in a person... so straightforward!

sounds like a wise plan to give it some re4 then. Take care, dear :)
ouch Ruby
but at least I did some cooking this AM, made a big tabouli and fruit salad as part of dinner
now if I could just train somebody to clean the spinach.....
aw darn, I could do that... but my arms are too short!
I may have to go upstairs on hands and knees
dogs can't ehlp with that, either
hi all

oops
was about to say i have a tea in front of me and was gonna try talking sensibly in the chog.but i guess i am not ready yet lol
but crossy... why would you want to make such a big change all of a sudden while we love you just as well the way you are? *innocent eyes*
awww:))
*hugs*
cold toast for sprite this morning..no crossy breakfast:P
hahahaha... that is justice, I suppose :D
I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee, Won't my mommy be so proud of me, (Cup hands together as if holding bee) I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee, Ouch! It stung me! (Shake hands as if just stung) I'm squishing up the baby bumblebee, Won't my mommy be so proud of me, ('Squish' bee between palms of hands) I'm squishing up a baby bumblebee, Ooh! It's yucky! (Open up hands to look at 'mess') I'm wiping off the baby bumblebee, Won't my mommy be so proud of me, (Wipe hands off on shirt) I'm wiping off the baby bumblebee, Now my mommy won't be mad at me! (Hold hands up to show they are clean)
bzzzzz
awwww sue :D :D
now we know what is killing all the bees!
fireflies! Nice grid today.

((Molly)) good morning, are you staying cool?
doing fine mom:)) and how about you and yours this fine day?
Hello uusue. Has the heat wave broke?
we are just fine, Crossy. Glad you all are as well
morning,help with e in the center pls
need to get ready for food pantry
and help with an 8 too pls
left column gray
mmm,crossy just put on a slow cooker beef pot roast:) will let is simmer on low for 7 hours:)

((Peri)) I have 1 8 ...sc 8/45
and a 7, Crossy
ty will look
mm,i missed the 7...
Hi uusue. What do you think? Earlier this year, they announce that they think, but they're not sure, they have found the Higgs Boson. Then on July 4th, they announce that they are pretty sure they have found it. Did they have enough time to sort through the millions of pieces of data for actual proof? Is July 4th propitious? Or am I just reading too many conspiracy theories?
there we go
Peri a CT sc** is a te**
ty Mom and crossy
you're welcome Peri
excellent Crossy
When someone puts on a play about history they re7 it. Then plural.
thanks Molly
: )
ty Molls
gotta go,bbl
hi godt, the announcement of the Higgs was made just prior to the International Conference on High Energy Physics in Melbourne, which is going on now. They did it so the attendees could get all the news at once instead of having to wade through a zillion more detailed talks.
bye Peri
hello Godthaab
and hi mom, yes, the terrible heat is gone and 87 degrees seems quite pleasant. It is even getting into the 60s at night!
Ok, interesting.
glad to hear that Uusue
also, godt, people were busting their butts to get results for the conference; it only occurs every other year
it is sunny and 62f here today:))
I was under the impression it would take about two years to get through all that data.
well, they are still working on it. The Higgs has a number of different decay channels (meaning you can observe it by looking at various different types of events), and they focused on the ones where it was most likely to show up (which it did).
But the details, and the other channels, will take longer. And they are still taking data, so the statistical significance should improve.
And I guess they are 99% sure..... (something I read)
Pretty much. Quantifying exactly how sure we are is a complicated business.
I bet!
I have a graduate student who is analyzing Fermilab data, looking for the Higgs decaying to four leptons (muons or electrons); he should have results by the spring. Won't be competitive with CERN but it will be interesting to confirm what they see.
So the Higgs decays into photons, gluons, etc?
crossy feels like a fresh know nothing student again..:/
right, and quarks, and W/Z pairs
well, if nothing else, there are some nice babblets in what I've posted :-)
goooooooood mornin babblers!!
howdy eva;))
hi eva!
Gooooood morning Eva
how the heck have you all been??
eva, did you get through all the storms and power outages ok?
sue, we were actually on vacation down in orlando... got there just after all the nasty hurricanes/tropical storms left + just before the power outages here.
ah, good timing! I hope you had a great vacation!
our old roommate checked on the house for us...storm door is damaged, but otherwise the house was fine. course, he wasnt brilliant enough to switch the AC on before we got home, so the house was BOILING when we got there.
only sad news to report is that we lost one of our newest baby lizards to (we think) dehydration caused by all the heat. :(
oh dear, poor baby!
halfway, time to start my day. (((Hugs))) to all of you
face
oops, sorry
its our own fault, really. it has been a long time since we have had such tiny lizards + most of ours are pretty sturdy, so we dont really worry about going away for a week without giving them much water. we really should have asked the old roommie to give the little ones water while we were gone. we feel really terrible about it. :(
you are raising lizards?
we have a few as pets. they are our kids. :)
we have one family in town that has a pet ferret.the thing is harness trained and you can often see them about town as they take it for walks
i used to have an iguana that was harness trained. i think somewhere the hubby has a harness, but none of the ones we have now are trained for it.
you have the hubby harness trained already?? wow good job:))
the mrs is still training me after 19 years:)
heh, i WISH, crossy. dude wanders off like a goldfish with ADD.
That's hilarious!
put one of those doggy perimeter collars on him
or one of those house arrest leg beepers
seriously. we went to the grocery store last night, since we had to replace pretty much EVERYTHING. i decided to figure out what meals we wanted to have for this week only and buy only the things we needed for those meals. lets just say i should have gone alone. by the time we came out, we had spent $250 and that was WITH the discount card and coupons. UGH.
that is a real bummer, eva!
yeah. i love that guy, but self-control and focus arent really his fortes.
hey

hi jay!
do you take donations?
i will as soon as my volunteer webmaster gets the webpage in shape. . .
i take donations too
it is up and awful right now
good! will that be soon? and will it be onthelevel.org?
when i googled i got a lot of foundation repairers
I was going to say the same thing, Hurshy
it will be onlevel.org . . . onthelevel.org is a carpenters' union!
does anyone have a clue for the top se6 please
well, hurshy and gail, are you fighting CU?
a trig function i think, medusa. i am missing two S but i think that would be the first se6.
haha hursh and gail good luck with that. . . it is a tedious way to earn a living
but a damn noble one!
<<===shocked that she remembers trig functions
ty jayk
i will fight Colorado University if you want me to
not getting that hurshy
appalling, really. if you actually remember trig, you should have the good grace not to say so!
se6.21 is an N. American Indian tribe
My ex and his new wife have a website and are asking for donations to pay their rent.
mea culpa. . . but i only remember the words not what they mean
just show me the 501(c)(3) hursh!
has it been working gail?
I don't think so.
i wasn't trying to imply that i was a nonprofit - only that i would take donations.
alas jayk i can't show you that either. . . 501(c)(4) to lobby
thank you
need the first one still though
still OK--ANYTHING to get that thing gone
i understand completely hursh. . .
what's CU?
Citizens United--the worst decision since Bush v Gore
Citizens United which is the pivot point for all the money flooding uninhibitedly into elections
try se & I ***'* tell you the word
hi lynxxx
oh, indeed, bad one. only, i feel like it wasn't great before that, either, because they could still donate whatever, it was just a bit more transparent - but nobody really paid attention anyway, we've been letting the wealthy buy policy for decades
thanks
yw
and sc8 please. lol
i can't believe they wouldn't even let montana keep the money out of their state elections. argh.
hi jmc
SO agree!!!!!!!!!
the least amount, medusa - the sc8 dusting of sugar, say
actually centuries. . . first campaign with corporate flooding it was McKinley. . . he got 16 million compared to 300,000 for Bryan
the most sc5.12
that was that pesky 14th amendment hursh
can we also please fight the one where they said it's ok for the police to strip search anyone for any reason?
thanks
i can only focus on one at a time hursh but i will put that on the list
stats for the third row E please
i honestly can't understand why there hasn't been more of an outcry about that one. i mean if there is one thing that seems like, completely utterly against the ideas of american liberty, that's it.

Your breakfasts are always good!
;)
little crossy is now only allowed bacon once per week!!! gasp!!
*facepalm*
but i can still have all the eggs i wish as my colesterol is strangely amazing at 96 or 2.5 the way the docs here measure it:)))
If your cholesterol is that low then IMHO why cant you have more bacon? I give you permission.
well,colesterol is not the problem..40 extra pounds are
ah, then it is bacon once a week. Nice grid.
it is a nice one
Done.
yaaa for annie!!
I have a pile of laundry staring at me and making nasty fa5 so I must go and take care of it. Do you want a clue before I leave?
no ty still have a bit to go yet
Good morning, all. Well, Annie, when the laundry grows eyes, it's probably time to wash it.
okay, then Im gone...bye...LOL, Hi, Judi :)
howdy judi
please do not say the l word
the L? word?
laundry
oh
I think the "i" word is worse.
"if it cannot come out of the dryer and be worn instantly,then it does not come in this house,no ironing for crossy
*shudders*
sorry
wash and wear all the way:)
no more suits for crossy anyways,chinos,golf shirts comfy shoes,t-shirts tilly hats..ahh yes.tough life
I feel the same way about panty hose, Crossy. Never again. I hate that shit.
tees
Sorry. Dammit.
bermuda shorts muscle shirts,sandals..
something I don't have please Judi -- a 7 or 8 would be nice.
I don't like skirts or dresses either. However, I am making an exception and wearing a dress to my 30th high school reunion in a few weeks.
45 obtained and NBT already.
About to go back to sleep -- have been up two hours. One in the garden (light work) and one working on website. *yawn* but it's overcast, so I am going to get a little more shut-eye!
30 years already, Judi? My, how time flies!
lol,when i finished schooling i had all the memories of the people i dealt with surgically removed
I have nothing but fond memories of HS. Can't wait to see some of my classmates again.
wow .. it'd be my 40th this year.. I don't have fond memories of high school
only one i cherish is the public school teacher who taught me to read.now that is a gift beyond price
I am not in contact with anyone from high school. My favorite teachers moved on or died, the people ... *shrug* I hated high school in general and was glad to have it well behind me. I had a few friends, but we drifted apart and don't have anything in common now.
nor di i ru..maybe they put a wal-mart where it was,can only hope
sounds same as me stidmama
Once I joined Facebook, I was able to re-connect with some old friends. Hadn't seen any of them since the 10 year reunion.
I hated HS. I hated adolescence. I could not be paid enough to do it again.
fa630 please
plural of fa5/18--a feature or aspect
Plural fa6, medusa. Diamond details.
sides of a gem, medusa
quick crossy tidbit- the standard but is 56 fa6,s
got that one. need the one after
Well, I don't think anyone really enjoyed being an adolescent. The acne was a bitch.
cut
And yes, I'm going to the PB for that.
I guess some people really enjoy the experience -- the ones who fit in, perhaps? The ones who aren't different, who aren't bullied, who find a niche? My only relief was science classes. Loved them. My best friend in high school died (suicide most likely) of an overdose a couple years later -- had been bullied constantly for being non-gender-conforming. Another friend, same thing. Another friend was picked on for being a "boat person." I hated high school.
morning all
*bails Judi out of PB*
hey steve
same here stidmama.i had a friend whos life became a train wreck from bullying.my sanctuary was the library and history class
picked on because he liked boats???
Hi Steve
Thanks, Stiddy. Fortunately, the people who I knew as jerks in HS have grown up and are now nice human beings. Hopefully, they think the same of me!
U stat?
4/6
no cross -- in the aftermath of the Vietnam conflict our state was one that invited refugees to settle. I helped in the "English as a Second Language" classes and made many Vietnamese and Cambodian friends. Some were more able to integrate than others, but before they came, there were NO Asian students in our area to speak of.
NM, monkey found it finally
oh,ok i get you now stidmama
the derrogatory slang of it never occured to me:/

Yep, another kiddo for Dr Lynda's Home for Children

help with center e pls
hi, all. I am dealing with some secondary trauma this morning. My parents had a fire at their home last night, and it appears about half of the home was destroyed. Fortunately, my parents, my brother and their dogs got out safely. My mother has some burns on her arms, but was not seriously injured. It was a grease fire that started in the kitchen.
sorry to hear that Angel
Oh, no, that is scary. Most importantly everyone escaped to safety.
Oh Angelsong! I am so sorry! That is incredibly frightening. I am glad they are all OK physically. I will keep them all in my prayers.
That E is blank for me, Peri.
Peri...center E is the volcano

Bye Mom!

Ugh, Car. I had a whopper of a migraine last week...actually about 1 weekly.
bl
just wanted a quick opinion on a rash that seems to have popped up from out of nowhere. ive got an appt in the morning to have it checked out... it is red + splotchy with small spots. no pain or itching. started in my bikini area, spread to my inner thighs + this morning i awoke to find a small patch on the inside of my elbow. for the most part nothing is raised, but there are a few blisters/bumps on my fanny and one on my elbow. any thoughts?
Any exposure to poison ivy/oak or something else new?
not sure if the bumps on my rear end are related, as there is no rash there.
i wouldnt think it is poison ivy/oak, as i dont think ive been around any plants. it started up while i was on vacation, so i was sleeping in a different bed with different bedsheets. hoping i didnt catch anything from them. :/
Itchy?
Oh, you indicated no.
not itchy or painful at all. wouldnt even know its there if i hadnt seen it.
Could be impetigo--superficial skin infection. Can be blistered but usually is crusted with orangish crust.
Any ingrown hairs that may have triggered a skin infection?
i had impetigo once when i was younger. i actually thought of that...i havent got any crust... at least not yet. i often get ingrowns in the bikini zone...could that have spread to my arm?
Yes, that can spread--Staph and Strep cause skin infections.
well, hopefully its nothing serious. i hate sleeping on other peoples sheets for just that fear!
side note: dont do a google image search for skin rashes while eating your lunch. ewie!
Believe me, I have seen lots of gross stuff.
ive got a weak stomach for medical stuff when im eating...heh
looking at the pictures, though, im not sure its impetigo... unless its a really mild case. honestly, i just thought it was razor burn until it started spreading...
Could be mild.
after seeing the pictures, i remember the orange crustiness. it was all around my nose!
Recently?
no, when i was a kid. i think i was 7th grade when i had it.
oh well. i have an appt in the morning. hopefully the doctor will figure it out for sure. :) thankyou, scrabs!

do you have sc 6 (not the smelly one?)
think about the set during a play -- when they move location they change sc6
singular and plural, of course
oops, and not that one, the other one?
the last ca6?
I have 5 x sc6 so far, all ending with pl marker.
Hello!

i have that one too stid.. i will have to monkey it
thanks aeb! of course you would know that one!

Well, I have no pressing deadlines for the next few weeks, so I should be able to get back to at least the baseline level of mess and weediness!

Thanks Nef, didn't know that word.
sorry. As a nurse it seemed too obvious for me; I forget that many people don't know the medical words. (and I don't know many of the Jewish words either!)
I've learned a lot of stuff in chog through the years though.... :-)
Could I please have the stats for either of the 8 letter words for NBS? Thanks
re 8/45 "a group of men _______ a civil war battle in our area every year"
thank you very much arianell! :-) That gives me the NBS (already had the NBT). I try to to get at least those plus half way whenever I start a grid
you're welcome Nef!
ofence
oops Hello everyone
An Irish yard enclosure : )
LOL ty Molly I truely did laff out loud
Oh, thank you Bugs, for having a sense of humor. : D
I surely do Molly but I don't have the punning talent to keep up with ruru
hi. I just got past half way and have suddenly hit the wall. Does this grid suddenly get harder then or is it just me?
I think many of them get harder as the day wears on and your brain cells need a nap. : )
I don't think it is you Nef but I am pretty slow at the best of times
Lol. Bugs you're pretty good at this (from seeing you play; never checked stats on anyone before); and I was wondering if a nap might help, Molly.
(I'd entered that in the wrong box -as usual!- at this time of day!
a nap is always a good idea Nef
it is, Bugs. But then I fe** like I wasted part of the day.
Hi All
<<<<<glad to hear Nef napped.
I just retired a couple of weeks ago Nef and I can't seem to get enough sleep
hi hego. How are you?
Napping is never a waste. It's good for you. And makes the rest of your day more productive.
hi hego.
good nef
Hi Bugs, glad to hear you retired.
absolutely Molly. I am just so tired of pushing myself to keep going
Join the club.
hi molls
Uusue just retired or will imminently I think. It is a club I have envied for a long tme
Nef and i belong
congrats Bugs! What did you do before retiring? (Sorry, I can't remember)
I just left the school system working with kids who have difficulties. It was very challenging and when I found myself not having enough patience, I quit
I've found I don't want to be completely retired, I ne4 to stay active in my nursing profession to remain sane!
good time to quit, Bugs.
Don't you get enough of that at home?
school is hard enough for them without having to deal with a cranky grandmother. I will work a couple of days a week privately with one kid in the fall and that will ease a lot of stuff
nursing that is.
LOL hego I thot you meant cranky people!
; )
nef is always taking care of someone. she's a doll.
THAT is why I ne** to be active in other parts of the profession, hego. This 24/7 "bedside" stuff is a killer! Ihave to have outside professional stuff to help too. (Not the bedside stuff)
I understand.
that's why i worked at the clinic Nef. It was a great experience.
I found t easier to deal with other people
I've always enjoyed being involved in my professional association. I went to a Board of Nursing meeting recently and found out how much I liked that
... people's kids I mean
great
other peoples' kids are easier to take care of, Bugs
I've be** volunteering at the clinic, hego. But I'm going to do some of the managerial stuff too for a while; not enough to actually "be" there; but the certifications and policies and procedure manuals, etc.
scis buging me.
sc is
I have 7 of them, hego. How many are there?
a lot
18
okay, will go back and try again
YIKES!
or so. lol
(just got 4 more)
it's 17, Nef

thank YOU! That leaves 2 left for me! :-)
: )
(that was my 2nd 8 letter word) :-)

1 sc word left. I'm going to leave it for a bit, should work on a few other letters here I think
lol I did the same thing
so did you find most of them now?
2 missing
in the middle
yuk, the se's are worse.
the 2nd 5/12 that I have was a typo that worked. sc +Ole and L***
is that 5,12 14/
I mean 5, 14/
I don't have a 5/14 (or 6/14 there yet
I am missing a 5, 14 and a 6, 26. maybe a combo
we're missing the same 2 hego. Sorry. :-(
I knew it!
Nef could you clarify your clue for the sc 5/12
I'll get it later.
tivel, here in Minnesota we tell a lot of Ole and L*** jokes (Scandahoovian jokes)
Thanks
did that help; or did I confuse you?
I'm a little confused
it pops up if you try Googling that
got it
yay! :-) (I'm not the best cluer sometimes
hey all
hi stid
Hi Stiddy
brb
That's cool. Nef
back. I had a phone call and the caller usually talks for a LONG time; short call this time.
lucky day
Are you all still looking for sc5,14; 6,24? They are odd [to me] sc + the last of something plus PL
all okay, Nef? Was thinking about all that heat, not sure if you were affected where you live.
it is. Although I don't mind the long calls, it's hard to do anything else when she calls
nice clue, tedybeth1
ty Teddy!
those were the ones!
yw .. I 'lurk;' too much and don't often come up with a clue myself!! happy to help finally :-)
thanks, tedybeth!
very kind of you. : )
doing okay, stid. Hoping the Wednesdays' doctor appt. won't be too bad; we know they are talking surgery again for DH; just hope it will be better this time..
And yes, we had a Lot of heat and humidity.
Ick on the surgery, but maybe it will help and ick on the uncomfortable weather. I think ours is the only part of the country with decent weather right now.

hm... de 7? *thinking*
the 1st de 7 I have is a pl, cos.
yes i need the de6 after that one :)

YAY, cos!!! WTG!!!
YAY COS!!!!

Is se6 apple juice a nationwide thing?
what did you do, stid?
now pls can I have a clue for the last ca6?
we have it Molly
do u have the last ca5?
But that's why I always wait to be in the garden until someone can help me up when I am stupid. *sigh* I sat down on the ground directly, instead of on the little chair thing, on the bad side. And the hip popped out. So now I have to wait until Tom gets home to put it back.
add a vowel before the last kletter for the ca6
yes Cos i do
hmmm....
OUCH! Stid; that's terrible!
ty again. good lad.
or: the last ca4: abbreviation for the country we live in
clue please for the lone C
Can't your son help with that stid?
Oh my God Stid!
Yep. I am pretty unhappy. It'll be okay, it just hurts and means I am unable to work in the garden again until later.
science, having to do with the bowel (specifically, the appendix
Maybe, Nef -- he was able to help the other day when it was only a little bit out of place. But it has to stop being so angry first.
will find ty
hey science
just cannot spell it
hi science
it's a four-letter word science
help
ce4/6 , 2 syllables
and it's not twisty at all
(Go up diagonally, science
i was trying to make a big word! lol ty
missing one of the Ds also I have du 5/14
glad you got it! :-)
stid, do you have some ice to help so it doesn't swell? (Not sure how you can elevate it though....

ty nef
yw
is there a list in lickety? I am really stuck at 103!!!!
Yes
yes
this is tough or am I getting stupider each day
it has some tough words
keep an eye out for endings
I know the feeling, sg. But try pluralizing and PT everything and see if that helps you.
pl, pt, and a superlative.
need one more L and I cannot see a thing
the l's are normal
all le
found it
yay
my last L was the last one; I always use that word with an apostrophe in it
okay missing one T
I have two te 6's
Yes, but he plural of allowing someone in has no apostrophe : D
oh it is a four
true, Molly. I just use it the other way much more often
OMG what is with the e's?????!
Yay! done!
yay hego
YAY hego!
YAY, hego!!! WTG!!!
ty
Sorry, I wandered off. NOT using ice this time, heat felt better. But did take Aleve and tylenol. Usually heat works faster than ice for me.
YAY hego and OH NO stid.
stid, what did you do?
(just came back from outside. too hot for long)
Hubby home. must go say hi at least. hagn All.
it's okay, stid. I find heat works better for me too for sore joints.
later hego!
Poof!
I sat down wrong in the garden to do some weeding, science, and popped my hip out again.
It took HOURS to warm up here, bugs -- cloudy until around 11:30.
ousch
ouch
is Tom a chiropractor by any chance?
no bugs, but he has learned to fix me when I am broken, as has Grant.
stid, sorry about your hip. The haze and clouds are coming from Asia and Russia...
hey saanich
yes I heard that about fires over there are landing here. I thot it might be from Colorado
Hey yourself. Just had a nap, checked in here briefly and here you are! Back to finish here.
stid can you tell me how Murphy is? I heard was not well just before the weekend and he has been on my mind a lot too
hi bugs!
I don't mind the haze and clouds, much ... but it meant I was a little slower getting outside than I have been! LOL I rather like when the sun shines through at 6 and wakes me up.
you must be a CBC listener too saanich
Murphy is fine. He was fine then, too. He just didn't want my folks to leave, and then the fireworks scared him.
oh for Pete's sake. he sure is spoiled but now your parents know not to be conned. ;)
No, they don't, actually. But I hope I can convince Mother to start keeping a sedative for the fireworks celebrations. There is no need for him to suffer through that.
who's Murphy?
Today is just "one of those days" I guess. And Bugs I listen to CBC but has the programming ever in a self-destruct mode. Back now really to finish. poof til laterXXO
later saanich
Murphy is their dog, Nef.
He's a lovely fellow, but has bonded a little too closely, imho
Labs are not supposed to be "one person/one family" dogs the way shepherds like my Lucky are.
but they are so sweet to have around
stid, if he's afraid of loud noises, a "thunder coat" is very effective. It's a tight jacket for dogs; kind of like swaddling a baby in theory and it really works
yes, he is sweet. I will suggest that to Mother, thanks. Although I suspect my paternal unit will nix that idea.
that works for kids with autism or ADHD too Nef. I did not know it worked for pets. Huh
my friend has 2 Cavalier dogs and the older one is extremely frightened by thunder and fireworks. The jacket is a lifesaver
first ca 6 please
http://www.thundershirt.com/?gclid=CM7 0xo_JjbECFbEBQAodSH_0DQ
Time to take kiddo out for a drive. Trying to give him some time each day. Down to 60, back later. *poof*
no idea, sorry
thanks for the link, nef
ca6 is the political word for honesty
ty bugs got it
I am getting stupider. I am blaming menopause
it works for me science
need the last ce 6
got it
Bugs; both of our kids are ADHD. When my dtr was young, she'd get more and more wound up until I was forced to spank her. I couldn't understand why she wanted a spanking, but thinking back on it; i'd also be holding her tightly before I could spank her. (And in case anyone is worried; the spanking was with an open hand, on her butt, about 10-12 smacks without any anger. I wasn't abusing her; the doctors told me it wasn't abuse)
two of mine were too Nef and sometimes, between 2 -4 years, I wud roll him up in his bed duvet. he was able to settle down to sleep quicker and then I wud go in and unroll him so he didn't get too hot. He was a foster kid at that point so spankings were a definate nono no matter what.
social workers said that was okay too but we didn't know anything back then. It was all trial and error
help......need the de 6 and 7!
oh stupid again got it
me too
sorry you all! I am not with it today!
I wish I would have known back then that *that* was what would calm her down. Having been beaten myself as a child I never wanted to hit my kids. I even called for 911 for help once!
(that call put the county social workers on us; our daughter was a handful; but the social workers decided that what we needed was a break from our son, Not her!
I was too Nef and when I did spank, 4 kids and 4times, I was so sure to only whap with my hand 3 times and no more. I was so afraid of turning into my mother
I am glad the social workers were good to you. People don't realize how bad it can be
I hear you, Bugs. (but it wasn't my mother, she died when I was 8)
so your dad was overwhelmed and grieving too? my mother had undiagnosed bipolar
LOL! The social workers would drop in unannounced every so often and they did that for a year. Our son was crazy busy, but not disobedient; our dtr was a challenge! But put a stranger in the house and she was "simply charming!"
no, we were raised by an aunt and uncle. It was my Aunt who'd beat us.
LOL! I used to think all I had to do was take him to the doctor and he wud be as good as gold.
her pediatrician told us to put a chain lock on her bedroom door because she'd get out of the house and run down the street or go to the playyard, etc. when she was barely 2!
instead I threw him in the bathtub a lot. It was close and safe and he loved playing cars in there so he wud settle himself .
sometimes the kid had 4 or 5 baths a day but he was a happy little prune.
LOL!
Water is often very soothing for kids.
did you ever try food elimination Nef? It helped one of them
BBL
The chain lock on the door worked til a fireman visited preschool and told the kids they needed 2 exits from a room. She went out the window at 3 1/2 yrs old
we tried all sorts of food elimination diets. Our son was lactose intolerant so he was already on a very strict diet; our dtr. reacted to red food dyes. I always say that she's 29 yrs old and still hasn't slept through the night (and it is true)
Good Lord Nef, I can't even imagine a metabolism like that. Jack rabbits move slower and sleep more.
reading back nef and it was a wild rollercoaster of schools saying they would kick him out unless he was medicated,unsafe meds took years before things settled down.problem is we live in a nanny province.when he was in grade 3,i spanked him in much the way you described,and when i went to pick him up,i had 2 police cars and the childrens aid waiting fro me.seems the teacher thought he looked sad my son said he got spanked.the teacher according to police notes said i had beat the child..in this brave new canada.it is now a very brave parent who spanks their public school child
hey crossy!
howdy science
(((crossy))) with our kids, I was very careful after what I'd been through. We were in family counseling for years
as were we
basically we were forced to medicate
it's frustrating, I know.
or no schooling
hi everyone, clue for the U and the lone C?
crossy, we did medicate but not through the schools' counsellors or psych. I'd take them elsewhere for an independant eval.
so ritalin at first and we complained..nasty stuff,then one i cannot remember now he is 18 and copes with a single adderal and caffene
we did also..was a wild,wild time
Hi lbd! the c is 4 letters, used when talking about the appendix
The u is most of what Miss Muffet ate with whey
the u is like a chinese tofu dish called bean c****
ty, Molly
i threatened to home school unless he got safer meds
and tivel
UGH! Home schooling wouldn't have worked for us!
I
I'm missing one of the l's, but I can't figure out which one
ritalin worked with my kids, crossy.
ahh, ty, nef for the lone C
to many wight and kidney issues

If you cut and paste your words into Lickety, it will show you what you are missing.
finally, the stupid one has finished with clues and list. Thanks
yw ibdawger
then it was dexadrine
my son doesn't use meds anymore; but I think my daughter will probably always be on Adderall
Science! You are not the stupid one!
whooo hooooo Science!
I am today! the older I get the worse I get
YAY, sciencegeek!! WTG!!!
I hate being in my middle years
what's lickety

I think I have developed ADD
okay see you all tomorrow. XO
bye SG!
sorry,what was that science? i was not paying attention.15 second span for me:)
my son now works at our local humane society.ity is a good energy release for him.he can set his own hours and now is doing 7 hours a day 5 days a week caring for the animals
good for him, crossy. If he finds something he likes, it channels his energy and he can be successful.
indeed,must give them a focus
yep
he grooms th cats and dog,cleans sleeping area and kennels,walks the dogs,does interactive play with the cats,etc,etc
anyone got ac 5/12
it's a pl, tivel
past tense of skin condition
meant pl
thanks
hi peri
hi
how are you today?
ok and u?
back again. One son was on Ritalin because absolutely nothing else came even close to being effective. He is 33 now and still has kidneys.
we saw fast weight gain and the start of kidney issues so it was a no go
okay. DO we have a game going in WwF? I've been remiss in getting them going again
no,Nef, you resigned. do you want to have another game?
sure. We had our grandson for 10 days straight; and I think that when I resigned I was nearly 100 points behind and no place to play my letters.
ok,I will see If I can start a game
Bugs and crossy, we didn't have any kidney problems for either kid.I was very careful about how muchthey were on though.
Nef, I do not see you there to ask for a rematch.
okay, peri. Sounds good!
okay, I'll do it then.
sl7 anyone?
ok
sl = slim
periwinkle - what you are when you successfully diet.
ty bfs
I am already sl7 :)
ty rhozee
as if dieting ever works that well rhozee ;)
anyone got be 6/27
I know, I know. Just exercise for good health even if it is a pain (and it is).
be 6/27 in baseball the pitcher did it to the batter.
(or PT of a legume)
BBL I can't see any more words here right now.
i hike,canoe and eat what i like,but try and keep the portions down to a dull roar and hope for the best.that is crossys exercise program:))
life is not micro managing every sliver of food untill eating becomes a chore(other that specific health reason)
Clue for second en5 please?
the one who finishes it
Thanks Lyn
mmm...looks like I missed every word ending in 'us'
yep ...and a hell of a lot of plurals. Bye everyone
I took my turn in WwF, Nef
Hi SL7 Peri : D
hi there Molls

Poor Soodle. She's missing all these Irish words in the grid like hoolie and bo6.
Well done Peri : D
ty
bye, happy babbling
I sure do miss the"old" crowd
In Washington D.C., helicopters are often used to monitor the traffic conditions. Frequently jammed is the Francis Scott Key bridge, named after the man who wrote the national anthem. The bridge's traffic problem is notorious; among some, it's known as the Car Strangled Spanner.
like Ata, FranMag, ping etc

It's unfortunate that some of them won't chat anymore, Peri
tadone, finito!
Good job LBD
Yay lbd!
Oh look, there's Tor.
It's been a hot year. In fact, the first six months of 2012 accounted for the warmest January-through-June period on record for the contiguous U.S., the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced Monday.
and now it's one of the hottest summers on record!
<---Not allowed to make weather comments here.
ooooooooooh! Wasn't aware of that rule! :)
No, not you Suz, just me. : )
can't we even w(h)ine about it? :)

Y'all whine all you want. I'm not going to start another whine fest on Facebook. : P
I shall have to return to the dark side to avoid off-topic rants that emBROIL the hoi polloi.
Oh stay put BR. I find your comments very refreshing.
Hello all. I have no weather related comments, I am just sad because I am finding this grid to be difficult.
: ( Poor Red
Hi everyone!
I don't talk about weather any more because just sounds like I'm gloating ..
Heya nerky
Hi nrkii!
Tor, you do have lovely weather. Sadly, I could not handle living that far from the ones I love.

she had to have dental so i told the vet to shave her -- they do this "lion" cut for long hairs
oh -- I didn't realize it would be functional... I thought the fur helped keep them cool.
i dunno about that, the vet would have said different otherwise
the vet cat was the same
must say that i'm get very amused every time i see her

Hey there, via.
thanks
Hello traveling Via.
i've done some crazy things (including startiing a large grid 2 hours before flip), but i've never babbled while driving.
I could have done it while I was passenging, but a) I don't think I'd find many open networks on the highway, and b) I get carsick
ca 6/24
The 2nd ca6-24 is pt of the ca4-5 above it.
i was in the grid yesterday, today doren, peri every other day. tomorrow it'll be molly!
Do you have the first ca 6/24

oh ty there was another guy . . . i forgot his name
and his sister Feetus
chester
I'm just glad no one said "I don't know what Gunsmoke is"
ty ru that was going to bother me
I couldn't believe you said you were easy in this chog
LOL, Molly.....I know what you mean.
i listen to gunsmoke every sunday night when i am in town
Which would be followed by "Must be an American thing"
who said they were easy?
lol molly
I said I was an easy sign.
oh.. I missed the sign
oh
:P
i thought that meant you were virgo
libra is the easy sign
really?
i will have to go dig out my astrology books
And I'm a Libra! Perfect!
<----Libra
<==leo
Yes Ru, we are so balanced. Ahahahaha!
HAH
cancer moon and cancer rising; venus in virgo and i forget the rest
We'll have to meet in a coffee shop someday and celebrate our birthdays. Promise, if I don't see you, I will actually dial your phone number. : P
ah but then you will have to travel molls
<--Will pretend she knows what JMC is talking about
to meet ru in a coffee shop
<-----Leo (and Hello everyone)

I am back! And I managed not to dye anything orange.
i will be 61 this year
wd viajes!
hmm. while I was gone, a small fly decided to go swimming in my wine.
<---Is not a moron and understands that she would have to travel to meet someone who doesn't live in my general vicinity
well i am sure the alcohol killed the germs
ewwww
molls! i was not suggesting that you were a moron!
*drinks around fly*
Hmmmm... red or white wine?
ewwwwwwwwwww
wd viajes
is he doing the backstroke?
red
I mean... re3
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Oh, the fly thing just made me queasy
would it be better if it were white?
it could be a mouscat
er7/32 and fa 5/18
<-- has eaten bigger bugs while running
Hmmm... wonder if flies are red meat or white meat protein... (kidding - I'd NEVER swallow a fly willingly,,, pickled or not!)
*brews up a pot of ginger tea for tummies*
ewww (pukes now)
I know an old lady, who swallowed a fly
<--has eaten bigger bugs fried
It's better than when they fly into my eyes!!! That's the worst.
*barf*
i don't know whyyyyyy
*pours ru some ginger tea*
oh hey, jmc, I did eat grasshoppers in Mexico... not my favorite
... I don' tknow why I swallowed a fly.... perhaps I'll die...(can't remeber the whole thing but the tune popped into my head when thinking of this)
i will not tell what i ate fried in deference to ru and molls tummies
May I suggest wearing protective eye wear while running? As for eating bugs...GROSS
Thank you (Cadfan's tummy says)
and your tummy too cad
this is really disgusting
something about a spider next. . .
we biker types eat lotsa bugs...
Tofu, bugs, sushi...*narrows down dinner invitations I will accept from Babble people*
nothing disgusting about ginger tea
do you need those tivel?
hi rbud
LOLOLOLOLOL
i never serve bugs to my guests (knowingly)
I can handle tofu... no sushi or bugs however... oh, and I hate muchrooms, asparagus and orange juice.
you could eat over here Molly.. we eat regular food at Chez Ru
"wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her" :P
Ru, you are still on the list.
and i make the best grilled tofu on the planet. . .as well as ribs and steak
can't make a hamburger worth a damn
(the spider)
Rbud is on a different subject
Mmmmmm ,, much prefer steak to hamburger...
me too cad but sometime i am on a hamburger budget
just singing that song, lalala! ♪♫♪
LOL - I am absolutely on a burger budget these days...
just not a burger diet...
I would like to point out that I did not drink the fly in my wine glass. I just drank the wine.
Molly.. pass the caviar.. and be a dear..holds up pinkie
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
*sigh* i am on an overgrown squash diet since the boy didn't pick the garden while i was away
teeth make great strainers!
send me some squash!
Hey! Is this going to lead to snooty wine talk? *Passes caviar*
doesn't it last a long time though?
see, now, that's gross if you ask me, caviar, raw fish eggs, ewwwwww.....
no.. no wine talk
i found out my sister took two and gave two away and i gave two away and still have 6
other than flies that were just on poop and ended up in a glass
...like eating little eyeballs... :PPPP
*Grabs the barf bucket from Ru*
the first time i had caviar i was on a russian rice ship in the houston ship channel and the mate served caviar to us and i had a coke and daddy had a beer
HAHAHA
Now I like squash (but zucchini only in bread or raw)
I'm not big on zucchini not nutricious
i have to find my spanish zucchini pancake recipe to use up all this squash
and... it's waaay too phallic
LOL
Squash of any kind, has no flavor. You have to add lots of spices to it to make it worth eating.
if you lets zucchini gets big it is british marrow and you can stuff it with sausage and bread crumbs and cheese and bake it. . . the best food the brits invented
makes you insecure ru?
people around here grow zucchini and then gift it around like it's sumthin special... I never know what to do with it
the overgrown ones do...:)
British Marrow - now that sounds good
oh, and don't get me started on okra, ewwww
zuchinni sauteed with garlic and onion in butter with fresh nutmeg
Rbud, people who give you lots of zucchini are not your friends.
i love love love fried okra
slimey
not if you fry it rbud
they're usually the same people who regift you fruitcake
lol, Moll, true that!
and if you use it in gumbo is good too
<---Thinks okra is disgusting
people all say that until they have my fried okra
I kinda like okra
I like it fried and stuffed
hi. Ru is right. If Brussels Sprouts are the devils testicles then the zucchinni /cucumber is the penis.
ewwwww, gumbo... they have Burdoo Days here in a nearby town, kinda the same thing, just whatever everyone brings gets thrown in and cooked til it's unrecognizable
oh i never had it stuffed. . . tell me about it
exactly herin
hi herin
Gumbo is great, minus the okra
that is not proper gumbo
did you guys read about the testicle eating fish in Illinois?
then lotsa hot sauce... never touched it myself
makes a man not want to go swimming i'd think
I have heard of the penis swimming fish but not that one RU
it was in the paper today
oops, that's burgoo, not burdoo
I know we have the jumping fish here, can knock you right out of your boat if you stand up and get hit by one - maybe the same fish - aggressive things, they are!
Oh great, now all the men with no balls are going to claim the testicle eating fish excuse.
1/2 way. . . i think that is it for me
LMAO!!!!!!
another screwed up attempt to add something to an environment that shouldn't have be4 there
Hello all. I just came in to this wonderful conversation. Must congratulate you all on providing many laffs

Thanks but I think I will stick to the giant spiders up north we have have in Aus

My thought is something like this explains why the US is past the tipping point.

I think you're getting better every time you type! :)
Nah! I am still after 55 years, a 2 finger typist!
I am babbling between patching some pants for one of the stepgrands, not gonna finish by flip, oh well.
swore I would never be relegated to being someones sectretary - so I went into computers----when you had to type in cards..........
how many do you haaave left?
,/\
oh, haha! I started around then, too, had to keypunch the big decks of cards... it was sure different than nowadays
anyone got re 7/48, 7/32, or 8/45
way too many, 48, not worried. I've be4 happy with halfway most days lately. :)
aaah you understand. then they stopped using cards and went to basically what I have now, a keyboard and a monitor!
ok
yup! re 7/32 is what the civil war buffs do, re7 battles, etc. Then plural. (re + en5)
re+ en5
so I've spent the past 40 years typing anyway!
and other re7's are re + fa4 (the front of your head, has your eyes, nose, etc) then plural and past tense for the 7's
badly!
