Hi glant

morning Giantarell

2:18 am

Me too - won't accept words

2:18 am

at 8.15 my time (about 3 min utes ago) it always misbehaves for a minute or two.

2:18 am

same here

2:18 am

and 3 hours later it usualy throws a tantrum and refuses to play ay all for a few minutes.

2:19 am

its 3:18 am here

2:19 am

That's weird glant - I'm not often on at 8.15 UK time (5.15 here)

2:19 am

2:32 am

i have all Bs, do you want a clue?

2:32 am

Have it now - girl's name!

2:32 am

ah

2:33 am

It might have another meaning but that's how I recognise it!

2:33 am

re6/18 - odd one - sounds like to give yourself guns again but with an extra e as 2/3 letter and a different consonant at the end

2:34 am

That is a weird word - I worked it from your clue, very easily. Thanks.

2:34 am

ri6 - sounds like more ribs but only one b

2:35 am

ty again!

2:36 am

spent ages looking for the ta6/7 - places to go gte a drink LOL

2:36 am

Great clues :)

2:37 am

ti 5/6 - bones

2:37 am

I would like fever though!

2:38 am

Ah! Didn't know that plural.

2:38 am

it's the latin pl

2:38 am

fever?

2:38 am

I just keep seeing it but I know it's not there! My phantom I guess.

2:39 am

i had a couple pf phantoms but when i typed them in - just in case - they were actually there LOL

2:39 am

i just couldn;t see the routes they were taking through the grid

2:39 am

A bit like I'd like Brer to be a word, as in Brer Rabbit!

2:40 am

i tried that one

2:40 am

Good thing you checked out the phantoms!

2:40 am

tr5 - to go wandering or on a jourey, minus the last letter

Hi Mom

{{mom}}

7:33 am

((River)) and ((carlee)) so good to see both

7:33 am

anyone have the stats for the 4th column E

7:33 am

off she goes already to the PB....and she just got here

7:34 am

and off mum goes... me thinks whenever rdance is around... we need the PB well stocked ;)

7:34 am

Mom was not careful

7:34 am

Ah, yes.

7:34 am

And that was my first word

7:34 am

mum just dove in without looking

7:34 am

mine too...lol!

7:35 am

I should pay better attention

7:35 am

Mom you are whooping my butt in slingo

7:36 am

I almost fell for it. Hi ((Mom and Rdance))

7:36 am

is there strategy to slingo?..i played a bit and lost interest

7:36 am

Hi Annie

7:37 am

I didn't think so, I will have to check it out. I wish it would not take so long to load. If it loads at all

7:37 am

When I got my first computer Slingo was about the only game on line. I didnt think it was still around. That was about 15 years ago.

7:37 am

I love slingo.....I dont know about strategy when playing against someone ....there are some tricks to get through the levels on your own

7:37 am

(((((Annie))))))) good morning.

7:38 am

I know last night was another problem night with loading. I wonder if it has something to do with the levels we are now on

7:38 am

Carlee, like most things I just jump right in.

7:38 am

Maybe need to clean out my internest history and cookies

7:38 am

I am not playing levels. I am just playing against you Nd Peri

7:38 am

*internet

7:39 am

I think they need to update their end of it. The more people on it the slower it is

7:39 am

Anddddddddd it will mot work on the ipad.

7:39 am

oh, I play all my points out each night...and up to stage 4 in level 34.....I get 165 points a day plus whatever I win

7:40 am

Doesn't sounds like the old Slingo I know

7:40 am

I do the challenges from you and Peri first and then go to the levels

7:40 am

When I started there were only a few thousand playing now it is in the millions

7:40 am

I dont think so Annie - this game just came on Zinga about 2 years ago or even less

7:41 am

I use to play like that but I was burning up hours

7:41 am

has anyone found that 4th column E yet?

7:41 am

i played for about 4 weeks... and was just like a slot machine... got bored

7:41 am

I have not, R

refers to long times

7:56 am

7:57 am

You tube is my friend for things like that.

7:57 am

I bought the Berocco Babies and Toddlers and half the patterns are crochet...and though I generally don't like crochet (bad 70s memories!) some of the patterns are very cute

7:58 am

well well how is everyone on this babble-icious morning

7:58 am

My daughter learned to knit on UTube - couldn't learn from me

7:58 am

or afternoon or evening as the case may be

7:58 am

:-( lynxxx

7:58 am

Morning Hurshy

7:58 am

You Tube is a great resource. You could also search amazon for a good crochet term book to help.

7:58 am

hi Hursh - cold and wet here - not sure what you are talking about

7:59 am

oh well it is supposed to be a beautiful day here

7:59 am

My mom couldn't teach me to crochet as I am keft handed

7:59 am

yeah those kefts will get you every time...

7:59 am

I had a great crochet book, currently on loan to a friend.

8:00 am

so do you crochet from right to left?

8:00 am

My mom taught me to sew and she is left handed. Now my pins go in all directions.

8:00 am

Having trouble typing this morning :-)

8:00 am

I cannot be taught any sewing, knitting or crocheting. Hopeless

8:01 am

Starting out I crochet left to right

8:02 am

never Bichon! You need to come to our library where there is a group of ladies that can teach you anything you want to learn

8:02 am

I am sure you have other talents Bichon. I just find knitting relaxing

8:02 am

top i help?

8:02 am

Yes, I do. Just very uncoordinated

8:02 am

I have learned hand quilting, crochet and knitting from them

8:02 am

looking fohurshyr that too

8:02 am

*for that hurshy

8:03 am

8:04 am

Fifth column e is ee6/18 - more strange

8:05 am

ty hurshy

8:05 am

5th col E must be weird or more weird

8:05 am

oh duh thanks lynxxx

8:05 am

We took the cat in the wall to the vet yesterday. Was hoping we would find out that it was a female as I do not want a male cat.

8:06 am

mmm you had a surprise cat stuck in the wall?

8:06 am

Isn't it obvious in a mammal?

8:06 am

Not obvious in a small feline, bichon.

8:06 am

Good morning,all.

8:07 am

male cats can be so lovey, when neutered.

8:07 am

hi Judi

8:07 am

So, was the vet able to determine the sex of the cat?

8:07 am

good morning all

8:07 am

guess I'm not too up on cats. It's really obvious in dogs

8:07 am

Yes, lyn, it was a kitten that fell behind the siding on our house. Had to tear off the siding to rescue him.

8:07 am

i was surprised, my marty is the loviest kitty ever.

8:08 am

Wally is a male.

8:08 am

hi wv

8:08 am

Did that story make the newspapers Bea

8:08 am

Hee hee. "Wally". As long as you have him neutered, he won't spray or do other unsociable things.

8:09 am

My thought was that if it was a he we would give him to a rescue.

8:09 am

seriously, why you not want a male?

8:09 am

It did not make the newspaper, bichon. That was just a small slice of what happened in my neigborhood that day.

8:09 am

do you have these misperceptions?

8:09 am

and your decision now...or has he already fouind a place in your heart?

8:10 am

Wally will not be leaving. Now way can I give him up.

8:10 am

oh good. if you have him neutered i am sure you will not be sorry!

8:10 am

lol...I should have guessed that because you gave him a name

8:10 am

good.

8:10 am

I've found, with dogs, that neutering didn't always stop the marking. It's a dominance issue

8:11 am

Lucky Wally. Good on you, Bzzn.

8:11 am

I guess so, hurshy. I've always had females and they are wonderful.

8:11 am

I have a neutered male cat. he does not spray.

8:12 am

nbt

8:12 am

Our male dog thinks the kitten is his baby.

8:12 am

marty is SO DOMESTICATED

8:13 am

thats so cute Bzzn

8:13 am

i can't even explain how unimaginable it is that he would misbehave

8:16 am

Today I pick up my foster dog, Ben from the Animal Hospital. He had bladder stones removed and most of his teeth removed. I can't imagine how miserable he's going to be.

8:17 am

:(

8:17 am

Poor Ben.

8:17 am

Oh, poor Ben! Looks like mushy food in his future.

8:17 am

I have to keep him quiet for at least a week. I just can't imagine

8:17 am

oh dear poor Ben

8:17 am

I've been giving him mushy food cause his teeth were so bad

8:18 am

Our Emilio had a lot of his gums cut back. He wasn't as miserable as we thought.

8:18 am

I also have to keep Marco and Polo from goading him into action

8:18 am

ZIs he an inside dog Bichon...he probably won't want to run around for a few days anyway

8:19 am

They are amazingly resiliant. Assume he has some pain meds for a little while.

8:21 am

No, Ben likes to walk with us.

8:22 am

Missing words from the two top N's.

8:22 am

8:27 am

boy am i out of the loop!

8:27 am

Frank and I are getting married tomorrow, lynxxx!

8:27 am

wish i could be there to crash the party:))

8:27 am

i thought frank was your son. i am so dumb.

8:27 am

Yeah! a wedding on the chat log

8:27 am

Wish we could stream it live in the chat log.

8:27 am

How lovely Sue...Wow.. at long last!

8:27 am

best wishes to you both, sue - so happy for you! hi all, nice time to log in

8:27 am

Congrats, UU! Have a blessed day!

8:28 am

hahaha, don't worry about it, hurshy, I posted a lot about my son a year or so ago

8:28 am

Somebody thought Ben was my son and when I was talking about him having stones in his penis, they were shocked that I would reveal such personal information

8:28 am

thanks judi and aloy!

8:28 am

lol Bichon

8:28 am

so your son was the one who was sick a year ago, right sue?

8:28 am

hi Aloy

8:28 am

no bichon, i was just glad it was NOT your son :)

8:29 am

he wasn't sick but he had a lot of girlfriend trouble. Frank's been sick since last fall.

8:29 am

oh, ok, son gf trouble. frank sick, marrying. still sick?

8:29 am

If I gave that information out about my son on the internet and he found out, he'd never talk to me again

8:29 am

*facepalm* for Bichon's story. I don't even think it's possible to get stones "in there".

8:29 am

yes, he has cancer, hurshy, and has been in chemo since just before Christmas

8:30 am

is the prognosis good or...?

8:30 am

there is,judi,if they make you try and pass them naturally and they get stuck.i was whizzing blood with my stones

8:30 am

TMI Cross!

8:30 am

Ahg! Ahg! TMI!

8:31 am

it's ok, hurshy, they got everything in surgery but it had started to spread, hence the chemo.

8:31 am

quote from Psych: "I know, I know, TMI, 'tell more information'"

8:31 am

one the bright side it gives you an entirely new respect for the amount of fluid intake you have to prevent this again

8:31 am

Just what I wanted to know, Mr. Hair.

8:31 am

Ahg - is that like an asian agh?

8:31 am

My daughter had kidney stones when she was pregnant. No future pregnancies for her

8:32 am

i tell you all my gritty cancer details,stones are nothing

8:33 am

*Shoves in ear plugs and covers eyes* LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA

8:33 am

lol,poor delicate judi

8:34 am

Nah. I'm really not that delicate. I'm actually more worried about the pending invasion of 17 year cicadas. *shudder*

8:35 am

Did anyone see Molly yesterday?

8:35 am

ew,,nevermind cancer or stones.ewwww,bugs!

8:35 am

lol. I know. My perspective is so skewed.

8:36 am

lol,with my beloved it is spider and bats

8:37 am

And now there is a whole bunch of people talking about how smart it would be if we all ate bugs. Yerrrgh.

8:38 am

witht the bats it started with her as a teen.she had and still has beautiful ong hair down to her waist and one day she was at a outdoor fire pit party and right at dusk a bat flew too low and got stuck in here hair,she freaked out so badly she ended up hitting the bat with her fist and killing it in her hair.her parents hauled her into the house and had to cut this dead,bleeding bat out

8:38 am

well, sorry to leave this tasty discussion but I have a 9:00 meeting and must run - see you all later!

8:38 am

Ewwww! That does sound traumatic - especially for the bat.

8:39 am

well,yes,but the bat only had to experience it once...

8:39 am

bye Sue...If I miss you - have a wonderful wonderful day

8:39 am

bye, sue..

8:39 am

tc suze!!

8:40 am

Must bzz...pfft!

8:42 am

8:42 am

halfway, NBT and NBS - time for a break

8:42 am

I'm off too - bye everyone

8:44 am

judi, during a bout of 17yr cicadas here in Nashville back in the 80s, my dog gained 5 pounds!! LOL

8:45 am

i am glad we do not have these cicadas here

8:45 am

too busy eating bugs eh?

8:45 am

they don't hurt anything -- they're just creepy!

8:45 am

still,do not need plagues of anything!

8:45 am

LOL, Une. Yuck. But, animals do find them delicious. Recently, I have heard cicadas referred to as "land shrimp". Yeah. Right.

8:46 am

I heard the cicadas when I lived in Cincinnati. They drown out the car engine noises.

8:46 am

That's probably why dogs eat them - just to shut them up.

8:47 am

it's a nightmare for brides with outdoor weddings, house painters, lawnmowing guys, etc.

8:48 am

They were serving them fried in the city center.

8:48 am

some lawnmowing guys refuse to cut grass till they're gone -- the sound of the ride mower attracts them big time!!

8:49 am

Love your picture of Mabel, Une. She looks adorable.

8:49 am

she was soooo sweet

8:51 am

Off to do some real work. BBL. *POOF*

8:51 am

she was rescued from a breeder -- had 8 litters in 8 yrs :-(

8:52 am

no rest? a breeder or a mill?

8:55 am

I was just told "used as breeder" -- and vet said she'd had possibly 100 puppies . . .

8:55 am

at least she'll have a few years of love and good care

8:56 am

we have what we hope are some good laws in place now to prevent this.ontario pet stores can no longer sell cats or dogs.they instead refer you to a shelter or a govt inspected registered breeder that must undergo all the inspections and have the proper permits

8:57 am

unfortunately we have laws but crappy enforcement

8:57 am

:((

8:58 am

asd you know, it's all about greed . . .

8:58 am

indeed:(

8:59 am

won't happen here. They seem to want less government. less regulations.

8:59 am

our adoption rate is coming along nicely thanks to help from local vets who give of their time and the fact that all adopted pets now come fixed,all shots.flea treatments for one year if needed and microchipped all fo under 150 dollars in most cases,with raised money going back to caring for those still in the shelter

9:02 am

yes, the rescued dogs I transport have been neutered (unless puppies, which will be neutered when old enough), given shots, usually microchipped, treated for heartworm if needed, etc.

9:03 am

yes, bless the vets who give of their services ( or for a nominal fee)!

9:04 am

vets are the best!

9:04 am

must get going -- HAGD!!

9:04 am

well,except when they hand me my bill for a sick cat:(

9:04 am

tc ,une

9:07 am

fireworks. must go get my chest appendages squished.

9:10 am

ouch.think that is bad? try one as a male!

9:10 am

since my node system was compromised once before i had to have one.good thing i am a husky male or they would of torem me open!

9:11 am

at least with your mamogram,they had something a bit more meaty to grab ahold of hehe

9:12 am

very true.

9:13 am

i have seen new mamogram tables,where you lay face down and let you bobbies dangle through two openings for scanning.no squashing

when I was working as a nurse a man took several nitroglycerin tablets and bashed his head against a wall. when questioned later he admitted to trying to blow himself up

I am in Rome.

in case you were wondering about my accent.

11:05 am

so are you doing as the romans do?

babbling?

It wasn't built in a day.

11:06 am

i think romans do other stuff

11:07 am

lots of sex in public baths i believe

venice was sublime.

11:08 am

there was this restaurant in venice where i had the best lasagna EVER

11:08 am

they wouldn't give me the recipe even though i was from america and wouldn't be competition

rome is a cliche

11:08 am

well,if you cannot get good pasta in venice,you may as well give up

11:09 am

and there was a CUUUUTE little puppy that ran up to me in venice, too

i wanted to buy a bobble-headpope outside the trevi fountain

or a poster of sofia loren eating pasta

venice is known for fish.

11:10 am

sofia has a great pasta suction;))

seriously- why Marilyn Monroe ccaricatures outside of the Trevi fountain?

I wanted to buy all the kitch

kitsch.

11:11 am

because people laughed at the napolean statues?

There were rows and rows of bobblehead figurines. they were hysterical.

11:12 am

can you get a bobblehead pope?

I think they were bobble-head. My family dragged me past all the garbage, and I was most interested in the garbage.

11:14 am

can you get soap carved in the shape of the new fella? put it on a string and you can have pope on a rope for your shower because as they say clenliness is next to glodliness:)

11:14 am

damn typos!

11:14 am

opps.sorry your emminence

I believe in glod.

11:15 am

i believe in the holy rooster.i figure if it was good enough for J.D Sallanger,it is good enough for me

Salinger?

11:16 am

a write of some note

11:16 am

writer

I kbnow him well, but what's the rooster reference? And am I in the PB?

11:17 am

HEY E1!!

11:17 am

when filling out his writers guid card,under the heading of religion he wrote rooster worship

11:17 am

howdy puglet

I thought I knew all things salinger.

Marlon Brando's first actors bio had him born to missionaries in indonesia or somewhere

11:19 am

does anyone know if Rubyfoo has been on

11:19 am

i have not seen her today

11:20 am

thank you

11:21 am

she wanted me to e-mail her and I sent her a message and it came back discontinued twice

11:24 am

I think rainhat should be a word-lal

you can't say half a word- policia.

babble policia put you with me in th ePB where there is pasta galore.

11:31 am

Iam not being hurtful towards you Kaplan,but I dont know what you are babbling about.Sorry for my shortness of your way of talking

in old babble culture we could not say ra4 hat because it is a word in the grid. SO there is something called a penalty box where one is sent and where there is lots of food.

but maybe these things are no longer operative.

11:34 am

i just go with the flow

11:35 am

if i want a nice tight game with little or no cluing(or just stats only) i play the grid at the flip

11:35 am

They are still operative, Kaplan!

I flow with the romans.

11:35 am

take two romans and call me in the morning

11:36 am

<-- laughing head off

11:36 am

I know its not operating in my brain---Some of it yes but not all--I guess Iam just not as educated as you guys--sorry

Why do people go to Rome when the books about Rome have no tourists?

We are not educated. We are insane.

avier

11:37 am

OH GOOD! I understand that and fit right in!!

11:37 am

this is true.basically we have just much more time to memorize a large variety of babblets

There you go.

11:38 am

like nene,etui,cwms,and inai

this whole grid looks like it is written in Italian.

11:38 am

or is that inia

11:38 am

damn dolphin

etna, baby, etna. ciao.

Crosshair have you read the hunger game books--Ive been wanting too but dont know if they are any good

11:53 am

Thats where I sent it to but I will try again,Ruby

11:53 am

i have.they are good for a quick enjoyable read when you want nothing too heavy.they are more greared for the young adult

11:53 am

I saw the Great Gatsby today and enjoyed it but: 1)it was dubbed in French so I didn't have to hear Leonardo'saccent (the reviewers said it was terrible and 2) the 3D is terrible, like being smacked in the face

11:53 am

Thank you for the impput

11:54 am

but aaaaah the costumes!!!

11:54 am

np,puglet

11:55 am

lol,ruby i cannot watch 3d movies.my optometrist told ne last week that it seems my eyes operate independantly of each other and it tends to make the 3d effects useless.no wonder i was wondering what everyone else was going on about

11:56 am

seems the old orbs can track indepantantly of each other

11:57 am

funny stuff.crossy see like a lizard:)

11:57 am

11:58 am

Grr, first afternoon patient is here--toddler with "foreign body in ear." We are always finding objects in kids' ears and noses. Much of the time we are veterinarians, I swear.

11:59 am

I shouldn't laugh, scrabs, but I've read that before

11:59 am

i read of a you girl who put a bean up her nose and it lodged in her sinus cavity and sprouted there.she was in emerg with blinding headaches and they found it

11:59 am

we wrestle with kids, get kicked/hit/spit upon..too bad we cannot sedate the little beasts the way vets can

12:00 pm

I believe it, Crossy.

12:00 pm

I believe it, Crossy.

12:00 pm

see? you docs need tasers

12:00 pm

wrap a tranuilizer in a piece of cheese and throw it up in the air,, like we do with pups

12:01 pm

And I would like to tase the parents that do text messages and phone calls during the visit.

12:01 pm

sorry crosshair no ereader---I dont even own a cell phone! I like holding the book

12:01 pm

then.wait till it hits the bargain bins and grab the set

12:02 pm

I don't have either, either puglet. I like to hold a book, too

12:02 pm

Wish me luck with this beast. If I cannot grab the object out of the ear I will send the kid to an ENT doc.

12:02 pm

good luck,scrabbs:)

12:03 pm

ditto, scrabs!

12:03 pm

Would someone please get me out of my misery? Can NOT get the SECOND re 6 word....

12:03 pm

12:13 pm

might use them and make some of that drummel tool book art that looks very interesting

12:14 pm

we have a free will place some miles from us and when I get so many I donate them to them

12:17 pm

i might just pick a nice day and put them out on a table by the sidewalk with a free sign on them

12:18 pm

that's what my sister does in NY

12:18 pm

but somebody stole the table, lol

12:18 pm

good morning

12:18 pm

thats a good ideal--------Morning Nan

12:19 pm

worse thing that can happen is everyone will think it is a town run danielle steel disposal day and i will end up with 500 at the end of the day instead of just the 100 i put out there:)))

12:19 pm

lol,have to love NY

12:20 pm

LOL!!! Or maybe you will spread a little love

12:20 pm

perhaps:)

12:20 pm

hello nan

12:24 pm

:)

12:25 pm

could have a block party--marshmellow and weenie roast

12:26 pm

and you coud cook the food on a Danielle Steele book-fire

12:27 pm

thats right

12:27 pm

12:40 pm

wd cyber

12:41 pm

Hello, everyone! Another itty bitty griddy!

12:41 pm

wow,imagine a Danielle Steele book burning weenie roast... it boggles the mind...

12:42 pm

hi mimi

12:42 pm

((mimi))

12:43 pm

i am afraid i think there is something fundamentally wrong with burning books. . . if i have books i can't give away i take them to be recycled. . . but i guess burning them is sorta recycling if you use them to cook or keep warm. . .

12:44 pm

if i had a boiler i could make steam and generate electricity

12:44 pm

not to worry.will not burn them.will set up freetable by sidewalk tomorrow

12:44 pm

yeah. . . even if they make electricity it leaves kinda a bad taste. . .

12:45 pm

lol

12:45 pm

Any book worth burning is a book worth reading. I am totally opposed to the usual reason for book burning...

12:45 pm

like i say.they will not be burnt. i am sure they will go fast

12:45 pm

haven't read any Danielle Steele books - are they really that bad?

12:46 pm

some say danielle steele is stephen king with breasts,but i read part of one and just do not see it

12:46 pm

she is not a particularly good writer. . .

12:46 pm

they have theri niche,cybernan

12:46 pm

one up from harlequin paperbacks

12:46 pm

don't like horror films or books - nor gothic -- guess I won't bother

12:46 pm

steven king--who i do not like at all--is a better writer. . .i am just not into horror

12:47 pm

Mr King write much more than just horro,jmc

12:47 pm

stalled with 21 to go -- time to bring up the list

12:48 pm

i will take your word for it crossy

12:48 pm

oh duh -- found the re 4 and missed the ba 7!

12:49 pm

i could give you a single short story if his ,with nary a boogyman or goul,not a drop of blood,or fire or brimstone that would moove you deeply in it's 10 minute reading span

12:50 pm

{{crossy}} I agree....never understood how Danielle Steele got to be so popular. But then, many people like lots of sugar in their food, too. Never underestimate the human capacity for bad taste.

12:50 pm

nbt/nbs...almost halfway

12:50 pm

well,each to their own i say

12:50 pm

Yes, do give the title, crossy.

hi everybody, back for a lunchtime Babble (-:

12:51 pm

ok,mimi,it is called 'the last rung on the ladder" and can be found online or in his skeleton crew short story collection.another good one in that collection is the ledge and also quitter inc.not a drop of blood or guts

12:51 pm

(((mimis)))

12:51 pm

fa 7/44, please?

12:51 pm

Yes, absolutely....people have the right to enjoy whatever they want...and we have the right to criticize them for it!!!

12:52 pm

Hi, Aloy!

12:52 pm

It's not like there isn't a LOT to criticize about ME!

12:52 pm

and his short story my pretty pony is also very good and not a drip of horror

12:52 pm

hi there Mimi

12:53 pm

haha criticize away. . . i don't like hobbits or f. scott fiztgerald (another talented person who wrote terrible books) or louisa may alcott who i think is the world most overrated author!

12:53 pm

gasp!! DO NOT LIKE HOBBITS??!!

12:53 pm

do not know lousia

12:53 pm

see. . . hahaha

12:53 pm

<---just fainted

12:54 pm

Little Women crossy

12:54 pm

she wrote little women crossy

12:54 pm

never read it

12:54 pm

*fans jilly*

12:54 pm

i am still trying to get over that statement on hobbits...

12:54 pm

no you wouldn't but it is derigor for little girls to read

12:54 pm

Is in agreement that individual taste should rule what books are read...

12:54 pm

fa 7/44, pleeeeeeease?

12:54 pm

OK--get ready to criticize me....I like the Anne Rice vampire books.

12:55 pm

again,never read them

12:55 pm

haha another genre i can live without!

12:55 pm

I actually did read and enjoy Ric series myself mimi...lost interest in the last one

12:55 pm

(you aren't a teenage gilr crossy)

12:55 pm

sorry cyber i don't ha** it

12:55 pm

Ok, how about Ken Follett?

12:56 pm

But my favorite author for the past few years is Janet Evanovich and her Stephanie Plum series...am on #19 now. It's the most fun you can have reading. I also really like James Patterson.

12:56 pm

i did the math.if i can read 2 books a week,i am good for roughly 10,000 books in this life,have to be selective you know:)

12:56 pm

i am found of a romance writer named Julia Quinn. . . her early books are the usual tripe but her later ones are funny and touching and well written. . .

12:57 pm

My favorite book of the last few years was "The Lovely Bones." Very compelling. They made a movie out of it but it just didn't ring true to me---except for Stanley Tucci who was chilling.

12:58 pm

12:58 pm

good attitude pug!

12:58 pm

I'm reading Copper Beach by Maeve Binchy right now

My favorite historical romance writer is Amanda Quick (aka Jayne Ann Krentz). Her book "Surrender" is fantastic. Can't find at usual book stores but can order any of these from alibris.com for about 99 cents....great resource for books, CD's, DVD's.

1:01 pm

Her books do have happy endings, jmc.

1:01 pm

1:02 pm

If you want the best trilogy from Elizabeth Lowell, try her stories of Donovan family: Jade Island, Pearl Cove, Amber Beach.

1:03 pm

4:17 pm

I kept forgetting the latin endings

4:18 pm

You just aren't old enough then, Jilly! :-)

4:20 pm

LOL...and have forgotten my college courses on latin and greek

4:21 pm

I never had any foreign languages; just knew Latin from church

4:23 pm

I took a course on latin/greek suffixes and prefixes to aid in medical terminology...too far back to remember the Latin at Mass..

4:26 pm

We (my sisters and I) were "the" daily choir for summer Masses. And I used to do calligraphy and used the fancy fonts in the old missals and bibles as models

4:28 pm

(I taught myself "fancy writing" back in grade school; when I reached high school I did all the documents for Homecoming and Snow royalty

4:34 pm

Wow, and Molly calls me a good Catholic girl!

4:35 pm

How do you mean? We lived 2 blocks from church and went every morning with my Aunt and Grandma. That's how we got "drafted" to the choir

4:36 pm

Molly ribs me about being a good catholic girl...

4:37 pm

Oh, well; if it's only in jest....

4:39 pm

Oh darn. DH says we need to go to the hardware store to buy some rabbit fencing; and we need to go now to plant some more strawberry plants this evening. BBL I guess (at least I made it past half way!

4:39 pm

Oh it is, Molly and I have good times sparring
