hello all, home at last after my first day back atwork.

3:02 am

all i have to say is * sob* OUCH!!!!!

3:07 am

was it a hard day Grannyrose?

3:07 am

or are you on light duties?

3:09 am

mari, as days go in recovery, it was easy peasy. i have done a full 8 hour shift, on concrete floors. and light duties? don't make me laugh. the heirarchy think i am superwoman. i forgot all about cold packs until 3:30pm. once i had one of those on, it was instant relief.

3:10 am

bet you sleep tonight :)

3:10 am

tomorrow i do a 6 hour shift, starting at 7:30am. and this time i won't forget the gravy...er....cold pack.

3:11 am

mari, your quite safe. just leave the money where it is. i am certainly going to sleep, and well i hope. not going to hold back on the pain meds either. not 'on call' so can take what i like.

3:12 am

and mari ?? your icon is heart-breakingly beautiful.

3:13 am

I don't blame you - can't believe you're back at work so soon Possibly a very determined lady?

3:14 am

It's a beach in Cuba taken a few years ago after a wonderful holiday spent there

3:14 am

well that's a very nice way to put it. others might use words like obstinate...stubborn...pig-headed

3:14 am

If the shoe fits............

3:15 am

or as we say...if the hat fits. lol. thanx dear. you made me smile. i am very grateful.

3:16 am

You take care My day is just starting so must get some chores done

3:17 am

ok, mari. hope you have a good one. see you tomorrow, perhaps

6:15 am

nbs and nbt, all on my own!

6:16 am

<-- needed help

6:17 am

That's okay Ruby. You can still keep your Smarty Pants points. : )

6:17 am

hi ruby and molly!

6:17 am

hi sue

6:17 am

morning, sue

6:17 am

ty molly, smarty pants feels good

6:17 am

yay for sue

6:17 am

Morning Sue. I hear you "unretired".

6:18 am

no kidding, sue

6:19 am

I did, molly, today is my first day back to work

6:19 am

how does it feel? an anticlimax?

6:19 am

dod you have to give back the "retirement gifts"?

6:20 am

although technically I have not unretired, I am working while still retired (so no more than 3/4 time, I keep my pension, and they don't pay me very much)

6:20 am

it's kind of fun, actually, it's very different from what I was doing before

6:20 am

that is perfect!

6:20 am

and the whole point of not unretiring was that I don't have to pay anything back (I made it clear that was not in the cards)

6:21 am

best of both worlds

6:22 am

indeed. now I just have to keep my sanity.

6:22 am

That's great Sue. Actually, a little bit retired is like a little bit pregnant. No such thing. Nice that you can do this and not lose your benefits.

6:22 am

sanity may be another question.....lol

6:23 am

yes - I think I may be limited to a year of this, but that is fine

6:23 am

perfect transition

6:24 am

My sister lives in a town where there are a lot of retired folks and local business owners pay them under the table to work part time, for those who like to keep busy.

6:25 am

well, I can earn as much as I want from non-State of Illinois sources and still keep my pension (and I am still finishing up one of the freelance assignments I've been working on)

6:26 am

sue..sanity is over rated

6:26 am

so plenty of $$ and no pressure!

6:26 am

hi carlee, that is true!

6:27 am

A whole new generation. The working retired.

6:28 am

the "have to work" retired, I think

6:28 am

however I have to get on with my day. see you all later!

6:28 am

That is more like it Ruby. A lot of us will have to do that, I'm afraid.

6:28 am

can you imagine that here, in this basically bankrupt country, there are still people retire=ing between 55 and 60?

6:29 am

and gov't workers at 55?

6:29 am

Well, if you have a nice fat pension, it's easy to retire at that age. Most people don't.

6:29 am

oh i will be working far past retirement to survive...

6:30 am

my husband worked until he was 70

6:30 am

I worked till I was 68

6:30 am

i will stull be paying off student loans

6:30 am

I would have continued longer, but 2 1/2 yrs after we moved here, the South Africans decided they could manage without me....:(

6:30 am

After 40 years in The Coast Guard, my Dad made more as a retired person than I made as a working person.

6:30 am

they couldn't' my biz disappeared soonafter

6:31 am

my son paid off his student loans in about 2 years -- amazing

6:31 am

<-- went to a free college

6:32 am

There are no free colleges in NY anymore, ruby

6:32 am

Student loan debt now is staggering. Kids are taking on way more than they can reasonably pay back.

6:32 am

I didn't know that, very sad

6:32 am

tuition was about $125 a semester

6:33 am

no free ones here either...my son starting at community college today... tuition is 5 k plus materials

6:33 am

son went to U of Miami but had scholarships, work-study programs and his loans were small. Also, he lived at home

6:34 am

that is incredible that they charge so much for community college!

6:34 am

i am fortunate...with grants my debt SO FAR is manageable...

6:34 am

And the debt to income ratio is upside down. As in, once a degree is earned, the income is not enough to manage the debt.

6:34 am

yay for grades... a still waiting to hear about bursaries and scholarships...

6:35 am

( for this year...)

6:35 am

I am very disappointed in NYC where you could always get a first-class education for almost nothing

6:35 am

When my daughter was in SUNY Bing. the tuition was aroumd $4,000 not including R&B but she had a partial scholarship

6:36 am

A long time ago, ruby

6:36 am

Annie knows, but my ex-husband taught at SUNY-Binghamton (before Annie's daughter)

6:37 am

She graduated in 1986, I think

6:37 am

What did he teach, ruby?

6:37 am

he taught there in the early 70's

6:37 am

history

6:37 am

The sad thing is, people are paying a lot of money for college educations and then not getting jobs with salary rates that are competitive. Which devalues the college education.

6:37 am

and then he taught at U of Rochester

6:38 am

sad, but true, molly

6:38 am

the number of students they let in to the colleges and universities...devalues the education

6:39 am

UPS delivery people make more money than most teachers. Go figure.

6:39 am

and I think the kids specialize too early (hoping to get jobs) and end up with poor educations and no jobs anyway

6:39 am

increase the standards of the institution...the graduating students will be worth something

6:39 am

liberal arts have gone out the window

6:40 am

Teachers get great pensions...my friend retired after teaching in NYC and has a pension of $83,000.

6:40 am

I taught in Binghamton public schools but when I quit, I took my pension (tiny!) as a lump sum because I needed the money

6:40 am

she taught for 30 years...retired in her late 50's

6:40 am

i am sorry..a kid coming out of HS...heading to university..if the universities all had standards like oxford and cambridge... the graduating students would have jobs

6:41 am

Wow Annie. It's hard to beat that kind of money as a retirement salary.

6:42 am

that's more than I ever earned!

6:42 am

but i know that is not a popular attitude in this day and age of entitlement

6:42 am

That is luxury income for a lot of people.

6:42 am

One of the managers at OTB where I worked retired with a pension of $58,000 after 25 years

6:42 am

time to go, friends

6:42 am

see you later

6:43 am

byebye ruby

6:43 am

bye ruby

6:43 am

those are great pensions; nothing like that in France. But the social benefits offset the small pensions

6:43 am

<-- not elligible for Fr benefits

6:44 am

In NYC teachers retired with full health benefits and decent pensions

6:44 am

but you have to work at least 20 years or more for decent money

6:45 am

The days of people working 20 years at one job seem to be long gone.

fireworks :)

6:46 am

YAY for sarah !!!

6:46 am

*~*~*POMPOM TOSS*~*~* for sarah

6:47 am

anyone know what time the dnc is going to get started today?

7:56 am

a very good morning to everyone. The kids come home today !!!! Happy dance

7:57 am

I was away from the keyboard, ((Mom))), your family is together again. YAY

8:00 am

they will be come 5:20 this afternoon

8:00 am

I will miss these little darlings. But 3 cats is a bit much

8:01 am

yes, i agree, 3 cats is a bit much

8:02 am

it is like having triplets in the house

8:02 am

LOL

8:02 am

But had we had Annie instead, she would have been a muddy mess with all the rain we have had

8:03 am

Who had Annie?

8:03 am

Whitney's mom and dad

8:03 am

ah

8:03 am

they had a golden as well, a fenced yard and a pool. Annie can run til her hearts content and she loves water

8:04 am

they have*

8:04 am

Annie may not want to go home

8:05 am

oh once she sees those two she will be more than ready

8:05 am

I am listening to WNYC about a legislator who sexually harassed his employees and another legislator paid the woman off secretly.

8:06 am

I don't get how these people think this is okay to do that

8:07 am

I think it is because they have been in office for so many years and have so much power they think the y are invincible.

8:08 am

lt is almost as if they think they are invincable

8:08 am

snap ... except you spelled invincible correctly

8:08 am

sanp

8:08 am

or snap

8:08 am

:-)

8:09 am

They really need term limits for the legislators

8:10 am

I agree with you.

8:10 am

phone

8:11 am

see you soon, Annie (hugs))

8:21 am

woo hoo .... got the 9 pr 9/66

Good morning!

8:22 am

(((Car.))) good morning. The boys back in school?

8:26 am

Hello {{mom}}! Tomorrow!

Fathers were not allowed in the delivery room until Jay and Marjie Hathaway found a doctor that allowed Jay to be present for the birth of their son James in 1965. The couple went on to found the American Academy of Husband-Coached Childbirth.

8:35 am

Very cool.

8:35 am

ah but when did they start NOT being allowed in the first place. most of history, i think they were just not interested.

8:36 am

I know my dad had to wait in the waiting area when we were born. The moms were still knocked out back then

8:36 am

i would be more open to having a baby if i could be knocked out.

8:47 am

so apparently that comment knocked out chat.

TY Lyn. It was a very sad day :( How is Mr Stewart?

8:59 am

He is good...now known as the 'old dog' around here (I am SO offended - he is only 7) ...but perking up now that Spring is here, bouncing around a lot more

9:00 am

hi all

9:00 am

what kind of dog is spring?

9:00 am

(the arthritis you know)

9:00 am

Hiya JMC

9:01 am

(ignoring Hego as she is being silly)

9:01 am

hi jmc. is doggy talk verboten?

9:01 am

haha no problem. . . i am used to it

9:01 am

9:01 am

doggy talk is fine.

9:02 am

9:02 am

9:02 am

I love that you all share your pets now that I no longer have one.

9:02 am

Hi Harp.

9:03 am

lynxxx keeps reminding me of my indiscretion when i admitted i did not like dogs. . .

9:03 am

Ata - this is for you - apparently quite funny, I haven't watched it yet...http://www.nerdist.com/?s=john+b arrowman

9:05 am

JMC, you are very brave to admit that here.

9:05 am

how could you, jmc! :)

9:05 am

No kidding JMC, very brave. But hey, not everyone is an animal lover.

9:06 am

I love all of my virtual doggies.

9:06 am

for future reference, animal lover here :) (at least I think my kittie cats love me)

9:06 am

i like dogs better virtually

9:06 am

hello...stats for the top corner A please?

9:06 am

jmc is a cat-woman

9:07 am

9:07 am

and i do have a cat

9:07 am

Hi Judy!

9:07 am

I like kitties too

9:07 am

When I first joined here, I wondered if this was a word game for animal lovers because chat was mainly about dogs and cats.

9:07 am

9:07 am

and bunnies

9:07 am

hi ciocia and phae

9:08 am

Oh, Lord, BR

9:08 am

9:08 am

9:09 am

I just discovered a chocolate lobster

9:09 am

my husband likes to talk about his pet chook - never did eat it, it fell over in the wind one day and died

9:09 am

<---Refrains from making Chinese restaurant joke

9:09 am

except for my dear pet rock.

9:09 am

rough on the teeth.

9:09 am

a live one Ata?

9:09 am

eating a pet rock would be hard on the teeth

9:09 am

9:10 am

great resraint there, Molly

9:10 am

9:10 am

ty lynxxx..didn't think of going in that direction :-)

9:11 am

http://www.nationallobsterhatchery.co. uk/shop/Chocolate-Lobster_5.aspx - yes! chocolate!

9:11 am

I am getting nowhere with this grid. Are there words in here?

9:12 am

loads, hego

9:12 am

am staring at the grid, coffee in hand

9:12 am

coffee in cup, cup in hand

9:12 am

in runs Hego - you just need to find the base words

9:12 am

Isn't animal cracker redundant?

9:12 am

....sigh........

9:12 am

I just found a chocolate lobster taco recipe. Ewwww!

9:12 am

wow my mil would have loved that!

9:13 am

choc lobster taco!!!

9:13 am

well...I never put them in my soup

9:13 am

sounds Texas

9:13 am

I had almost forgotten that my least favourite letter in Babble is always S

9:14 am

Some things just do not belong with chocolate. Lobster is one of them.

9:14 am

why is tock not a word? tick tock tick tock

9:14 am

there were 60 yesterday

9:14 am

agree, jmc, tocks me off

9:14 am

wondering about tock also

9:14 am

i assume it is bitter sweet chocolate . . .like in mole molls

9:15 am

Adopt A Lobster - that seems weird

9:15 am

i think it's hyphenated...tick-tock

9:15 am

aha

9:15 am

I like the adopt a lobster - his and hers!

9:16 am

i think the wedding favor is the oddest

9:16 am

but releasing them into the wild - so are the lobsters going to be released into a National Sea Park?

9:17 am

no far out at sea, i think

9:17 am

i want to adopt one that grows big and ends up in my pot!

9:17 am

finally half way

9:17 am

The Urban Dictionary definition of "tock" is x-rated

9:17 am

cruel, cruel JMC

9:17 am

<--Thinks mole is gross too

9:17 am

not a park, no, we don't have any (yet). It's just increasing the lieklihood of some growing up

9:17 am

wtg phae

9:17 am

yumm

9:18 am

lolol

9:18 am

being x rated never stopped a word being in the grid BR

9:18 am

for sure

9:18 am

so there is a ban , at least, on fishing or harvesting them?

9:18 am

good to know, BR.. will be careful how I use it

9:20 am

nope, lyn! our marine conservation sucks. We're half way through a huge process of designating marine conservation zones, whic will have *some* protection

9:20 am

Yeah....just found the pr9/66......

9:20 am

Must go, I didn't realise how late it is, and must get up early to do all the things I procrastinated about today

9:21 am

Hi Ish

9:21 am

Sounds good then Ata...must go...Bye

9:21 am

good to know somewhere is worse than the US in marine preservation. . . no wait . . . bad to know that!

9:21 am

hi ishult

9:21 am

bye lynxxx

9:21 am

maybe not worse - equally bad I'd say!

9:21 am

I wonder if the pr9/66 knew it was lost?

9:22 am

Well, one less thing to criticize the Americans about JMC.

9:22 am

Looks like something from the Katie Perry collection.

9:32 am

Danny Boy

9:34 am

i am also fond of that song but prefer a tenor. . . but looking at their dresses for other videos it is clear they have no sense of style when it comes to their dresses. . .the Christmas show is just as bad! too bad because they have beautiful voices and are very pretty women

9:35 am

hey there BR.. good practice

12:20 pm

Hi Br

12:20 pm

I agree Aloy. I am always grateful when Lickety's list is available.

12:21 pm

saves SO much time!

12:22 pm

Love to go through the grid and find words without the list and even without chog hints.. then aim for 3/4 before "earning" the list.. but after that, I am anxious to finish if the grid is large

12:24 pm

guess it really depends on the day..

12:26 pm

am always amazed by the number of words I have never seen, (or can't remember, lol)

12:27 pm

:D I am with Molly, MPitt - love your take on life. I once read a brilliant book (A Goddess in my shoes) and at some point it says: 'If you have nothing to be grateful for, just be grateful you don't have to eat living frogs.'

1:46 pm

my dh spent the past 3 days in hospital...his electrolytes went way out of whack from the chemo and profound dehydration

1:46 pm

had a feeding tube placed and a catheter

1:46 pm

oh am so sorry to hear that! Did they manage to balance him out a bit?

1:47 pm

Sorry to hear that MPitt. You and Mr. MPitt are often in my thoughts and prayers.

1:49 pm

yes but the feeding tube is a blessing because now he can get the proper nutrition and is so much better...the catheter also helped because his chemo caused the tubes to his kidneys to stop so now they are working will get that out thursday...sosee it is the miracle of science that has made him better...so we are grateful for that

1:50 pm

amen. Am so very glad they could help him. Good thoughts and prayers to him and you.

1:51 pm

He must be feeling better with everything going in and going out in a better way.

1:51 pm

yes his sodium is usually the problem but it was the best it's been...his potassium, calcium and magnesium went way low...thought he waas going to stroke out or have a heart attack...they wer working on him quick...alll is ok now

1:51 pm

And anytime he is better, I know you are better too. : )

1:52 pm

That must have been stressful. I'm glad it's behind you.

1:52 pm

quite a scare. Happy things are better now.

1:52 pm

yep....happy husband, happy wife, happy life!

1:54 pm

2:17 pm

2:18 pm

2:18 pm

how are you doing atm?

2:19 pm

Good to hear all is well with you Sprite!...:)

2:19 pm

thanks Flask :) And you, how are you doing yourself?

2:19 pm

good on fronts then...good to hear...things here are typical ..but survivable...my step mother who i am learning is actually close to the stereotypical storybook step mother is now in hospital and it does not look good...

2:20 pm

but school is back... my son has returned to school after a 1 1.2 year hiatus...my daughter is back for grade 11...and i return on thurs

2:20 pm

so sorry to hear that, carlee :( Tough situation.

2:20 pm

1 1/2* year hiatus

2:20 pm

2:20 pm

wooot for your son! And for your daughter as well. And you have my everlasting admiration for keeping on learning.

2:21 pm

Flask, that is so good! Gratz on the loss and wtg on the courage.

2:21 pm

thanx!

2:21 pm

it is what it is....i have no control over her or her behavior....nor am I responsible for it...i will viist her in hospital ( hopefully it will not piss her off too much that she dies...her heart is ftning at 20% )...and if she makes it clear i am not wanted nor needed..well i di dmy bit YAYA for fla

2:21 pm

yaya for flask!!!!!!

2:22 pm

I think that is a healthy approach, carlee. Not easy, but wise.

2:24 pm

well... i have to live with me when all is said and done..if I do not at least visit... i have let me down...I will even for the sake of her heart not wear my father's ring...she tried to ensure i received nothng of my fathers..but my aunts ensured that i got mydad's ring...i will let her believe she succeeded

2:25 pm

you have a very good heart, carlee. *hug*

2:25 pm

thanks {{sprite}} ....well.. I am not sure about that sprite... i have mentally plotted evil...but... its all mental...

2:27 pm

carlee, it is in our deeds that we show our true mettle, not in our plotting. We are human! I, for one, am very very very human. But if you can make such a decision, you really do have a big heart.

2:28 pm

thanks... i appreciate the vote of confidence... so has autumn started to show itself there?

2:29 pm

hmmm not really, I think. I mean we have lots and lots of rain, but that has been the case most of the summer as well. It is still not really cold and the trees aren't in their flaming colours yet. Lots of spiders though!

2:30 pm

we used to have spiders living in our side view mirror of the car...we named her yearly ( as I presume was a new one each year...)... we had linda, and mona, and i forget n but then octavia...

2:31 pm

i would go to the dealership and warn them to NOT remove the spider as my daughter would be most distraught

2:31 pm

hehehe we used to have a 'house spider' named Sebastiaan.

2:32 pm

every day a new web....b/c each day when you drive the car the wind would destroy the web..she went camping with us....

2:32 pm

amazing. I can sit and watch for hours when they make their webs. They do it so fast and so precise.

2:33 pm

me too... they never creep me out... i find them fun...

2:34 pm

wellllll if they are very big and very hairy, I don't feel comfortable having them in my hands. But for the re4, no, they don't creep me out. I think they are beautiful.

2:35 pm

linda and her offspring were the big brown garden spiders... fat body thick legged...but....they were outside

2:36 pm

outside is never a problem, grin.

2:37 pm

so what grades are the kids in now?

2:37 pm

8:38 pm

LOL molly...

8:39 pm

So, in keeping with the playground behavior that is American politics, we have heard the Republicans tell us it's all the Democrats fault. Now it's time to listen to the Democrats tell us it's all the Republicans fault.

8:39 pm

*Walks into sensitive room and floats an air biscuit*

8:41 pm

Um...actually they are remarking on what they have DONE in the last 4 years...

8:41 pm

Oh dear. Tor is farting in The Sensitive Room. *Sprays soothing herbal air freshener*

8:50 pm

There is a lot of wailing, moaning and hollering PU!!! in The Sensitive Room at the moment.

That's why I told you to put in a rubber room!!

8:52 pm

It's okay, don't worry about Clint. The Magic President has a solution for everything. Promise.

8:55 pm

my governor is speaking

8:55 pm

duval patrick

8:55 pm

HE's doing very well...

8:56 pm

he's a pip

8:57 pm

sometimes I wonder if an empty chair would be better for president

8:57 pm

Ithink an empty chamber of congress would be.....

8:57 pm

he says democrats need to grow a backbone

8:57 pm

or I guess that's what we already have@@

8:57 pm

gov. patrick

8:58 pm

That's what I have always said, the Dems were to bending over on so mnay things...that's why we don't have the single payer system this country needs...

9:01 pm

now I've gone and killed the chog....

9:02 pm

In order to have a single payer system, we need to get rid of the health insurance companies. When politicians get real about that, things will change.

9:02 pm

On that we totally agree mols....

9:02 pm

AND the drug companies!

9:03 pm

Ooo, didn't mean to leave out the evil drug companies.

9:04 pm

Oh and lobbying needs to be outlawed. Like THAT will ever happen.

9:07 pm

We need to get the influence of money out of government ..

9:07 pm

And again...we agree...

9:07 pm

Corporations are NOT people...

9:08 pm

People can make fun of the Occupy movement all they want. But at least those people are speaking out against corporate greed.

9:09 pm

Wow!! Again...we are sympatico!

9:12 pm

agree, agree, agree

9:12 pm

:D

9:13 pm

repo

9:18 pm

my bad; sorry

9:19 pm

I have no problem agreeing, disagreeing or otherwise listening to American citizens regarding American politics. If you live in, pay taxes in and are affected by American politics, I'm all ears. Otherwise, not so much.

9:21 pm

That's great Molly...

9:26 pm

mayor julian castro is proud of his mother...

11:34 pm

I am glad we are having more good weather now that school has begun and I can still enjoy the sunshine. the garden is taking more shape

11:34 pm

Scary result of Quebec election. Even francophones talk about leaving.

11:34 pm

Am afraid to pay attention. Did they get a minority or majority?

11:34 pm

I saw! Thats not good.

11:35 pm

think there will be a coalition government or did they already say?

11:35 pm

It looks like a minority, thank goodness.

you mean the "we hate the rest of canada" faction won?

11:35 pm

11:35 pm

yes gwen. sad.

11:35 pm

Congrats, Bugs!!!!!

11:36 pm

Yes, Gwen, but not by much. Still, they are planning all sorts of nastiness about the English language and schooling, as ever. Peace shattered again.

11:36 pm

It is not on my mind Gwen but the maritime provinces on the east coast must feel even more isolated

11:37 pm

11:37 pm

I will leave clueing and go watch the news now. See you later everyone

11:37 pm

Thanks so much, Rose. How did work go today?

11:37 pm

lol..... and i'm not a francophile either

11:38 pm

Sweet dreams Bugs.

11:38 pm

hey peach. np's. better thanx, remembered to ice pack every 2 hours. that helped heaps

i recall some time around 1995 (?) there was a close call, and it looked like civil war might happen, but the crazies lost that time

11:39 pm

Actually, it was partly because of some perceived corruption in the present federalist government, plus the formation of another pseudo-federalist party to split the vote. Shades of Ralph Nader.

11:39 pm

tomorrow maybe another st5. in for a very fast, long list. :(

hey, stop dumping on ralph!

11:40 pm

Yes, Gwen, a referendum in 1995 came close to Quebec's separation, but not civil war. That's why we left and came to BC.

11:41 pm

Well, he did split the vote, right Gwen?

you're smart! i mean leaving QC, not the other thing

11:41 pm

Nader did take enough votes away from Gore to cost him Florida thus the Presidency so yes Jill.

11:42 pm

my guess is ralph nader has very broad shoulders and can take it, gwen. otherwise, why is he in politics?

11:42 pm

But it should have NOT been close anyway. Gore is to blame as well.

11:42 pm

Anyway, I've been watching the Dem convention

11:42 pm

Michelle hit a home run tonight.

excuse me, gore won florida, remember? then a half hour later, Fox News said, no he didn't, and all hell broke loose. do not get me started.

11:43 pm

You betcha. Castro was good too.

11:43 pm

Gwen: I am aware :) I was on the Gore/Liebermann staff.

11:43 pm

Sorry I mentioned Ralph.

11:43 pm

Castro was amazing. The next Dem Senator from Texas.

11:43 pm

Either Castro ;)

11:44 pm

*from under table* is it safe to come out yet?

cosdem, cool!

11:44 pm

Such fun to see those identical twins!

i am not dumping, only complaining about dumping. all done

11:44 pm

Yes Rose! Gwen and I arent arguing lol

11:44 pm

and we loves ya, gwen...

11:44 pm

jill: a friend wrote that he wanted Castro. I said he cuold have him. I'll take his brother lol

11:45 pm

I didn't dump, just described.

and i loves ralphie LOL

11:45 pm

okaaayyyy, back under the table.

11:45 pm

tomorrow's speeches: CEO of Costco and Carmax, Elizabeth Warren and Bill Clinton. Should be fun.

11:45 pm

11:46 pm

no problem, granny -- come on out!

11:46 pm

oh, c'mon, cos....political speeches....fun???

11:46 pm

yes. fun.

ugh! the repugnants have put up another "sit on his hands during a crisis" nonentity for president. yeah, i'm happy (sarcasm)

11:47 pm

political speeches = sermons/church services lead in a monotone. good sedatives, both

11:47 pm

they're just bitter.

11:47 pm

<-- zipping lip re politics

11:48 pm

Rose: Not Bill Clinton. Nope.

11:48 pm

nice move, jilli

11:48 pm

except that Michelle's speech was far from a boring monotone

11:48 pm

yeah, you're right, cos. he breaks me up. lol

11:48 pm

so shall we discuss flowers instead?

or doctor who?

11:49 pm

now there's a great idea, cos. daffodils, jonquils all in bloom.

11:49 pm

ok -- you first

11:49 pm

and the grass is riz, i wonder where the birdies is?

11:50 pm

ooohhh, doctor who... now there is one great series. at the moment we are finishing the matthew smith series.

11:51 pm

definitely looking forward to Clinton's speech :-)

11:51 pm

11:51 pm

11:51 pm

Only saw a couple of Dr Whos -- many years ago.

so sorry, gotta fix dinner, sorry if i totally offended everyone, sort of! *poink*

11:52 pm

oh, and guys and gals? guess who is back into her motorcycles leathers? * huge grin *

11:52 pm

well, granny, fall approaches here as your spring arrives. You have summer to look forward to and we have winter to dread.

11:53 pm

Gwen, you didn't offend anyone!

11:53 pm
