Ditto.
Howdy Rose and congrats
howdy miz pugs....and jac, was that FW?
love the new pugs in your icon, miz pugs...tooo cute
thanks Rose--wanted something fallish
How is our Rose today?
taking it quietly still. just the laundry done, dishes all done, bins emptied and wa4ed, mother's soup made, bed stripped and re-made with clean linen, showered, hair washed...yup...just a typical quiet saturday
well enjoy, we both know that you dont get many days like that-lol
and did you notice?? huh, huh?? i finished in under an hour, without using a list, just the enable dictionary list i sent you. you know? i think i might actually be getting the hang of this game..
it's only taken me 6 years..lolol
I had a wonderful day friday cleaning out kitchen cabnets(not)-------yes I did, you are on the ball today
i'm so chuffed. i have been watching others like dee, ruru, aloy, dart, oh, so many. they all finish way ahead of me, no list....
today sometime my friend and her hubby are coming and we are making the campground ready for winter
ugh, pugs, can think of better ways to spend a day. but i guess with the weather turning cooler, you feel more like moving around.
yeah I know! I feel like a 1st grader and them(and) are like seniors
I meant and you
meanwhile,i have been catching up on all that sleep. i am actually motivated to start spring cleaning. must try and get as much done as possible before the surgery. ( looming somewhere in my future)
they have a camper there and we got to drain everything,tarp stuff and those kind of goodies
batten down the hatches so to speak
I like spring cleaning---love it when I can open the windows and let fresh air in
yep, you got it
exactly, pugs. like the other friday, when i opened the back do4 and the house was filled with the perfume of my rose. * sigh*
it suppose to be in the 5o's and sunny so I hope its not real windy. Kind of hard trying to tarp down things with the wind trying to rip it out of your hands--lol
do you have heavy duty winters pugs? like multiple feet of snow?
sometimes Rose--we never know what we will get
why miz pugs, didn't know you could hang-glide? when did you take that up?
I rather have the snow then the ice
lol! thats about what it is too :)
hope you have good heating, sweetie. not liking the thought of my dear friend being cold.
well know on wood--we have a good furnace as long as it stays in working order
(knock)
is your furnace gas or wood?
and does that mean you have ducted heating?
its gas-----if something goes wrong, it usually happens at the worse of times--lol
yes mam
you probally never get ice, do you?
*sigh* i would give my left one for ducted heating. sometime we are going to go all ducted...heating, aircon and vacuum.
what is it you heat with? Wood?
lolol...pugs....every winter..our cars get so iced up we can't unlock the doors, never mind the windscreen...
I always thought assy was a hot country
I hate walking out on that stuff
we use gas...it's just a little heater in the lounge room, and at night DH turns the b.... thing down...mother mac has 2 electric thermostat controlled heaters in her rooms.
my worse fear in the winter is having our electric go out.Living out in the country is happens quiet a bit
2 years ago my last car was written off by the insurance company because of hail-stone damage. DH and i were out in it in his car..he wanted to park under a tree, for goodness sake...i said 'no, we have to get home to mother mac. she will be terrified'
But we cook with gas too and its a lifesavor during bad times.But it cant keep waterlines from freezing if the electric is out for very long
ditto here re power outages, which is why i want to go all gas in the kitchen.
did the hail break any windows in your home
brb coffee
we are registered with the power company, because of taking care of the MIL, and plus, i use a CPAP machine when i sleep.
Doesn't Don have enough gss?
what does registering do for you?
Gas that is
Ruru, you are such a stinker--lol
Naw...just an old fart
I bet Rose is doing her jigsaws
pugs, it lets the power company know that we have a hi4 priority when it comes to restoring power supply
Ignoring my jokes. .
pfft, pugs
Ru, do you get snow where you live
let mt tell you something, mr ruru. * arms akimbo here* if you are half as good as DH when you reach his age, you will be one heck of a stallion....LOLOL
What a great statement! Hi all :)
No pugs. Not really
Hello Liz! how are you today
oops, ducking head...hey ya liz
Great thanks. All's good here.
What is his age?
Liz, did you paint your icon
No it's a copy of one of the original paintings by AA Milne, who wrote Winnie the Pooh.
liz, saw you on earlier today. we do have fireflies in ozland. they are on the great ocean road, victoria. and the 'glow worms' are found in old mines dotted around the country. if you google you will see where
Found it on the internet.
??,?,,????????
Granny?
ruru....older than you, but younger than me...he had to be younger, in order to keep up with me...lol
Yes, Rose, you're right. They're up here in Purlingbrook National Park - but I wouldn't be there at night. There are also glow worm caves near here.
Rose, I think Ru is waiting on a answer
I just haven't seen any.
and he got it......*giggle* i am one very lucky lady. i have a 3 in 1 man...husband, lover, friend
I have one of those too! We're very lucky.
......ahem...how old?
very close to 60
Uh rose. I am his age...:D
we use to have more fireflies than we do but they say because of all the lights that they are not breeding as much cause they need darkness
Nothing wrong with that age. That describes me too.
nah, not going to say what i was going to say...will save it for GT or an email...lolol
Three in one? He sounds like a swiss army knife :D
and just as penetrating
And just as useful!
oh, yeah, that too, liz
Penetrating is very useful.
good one Liz
I I will stay outta this one
kind of like the corkscrew blade? lol
Does that mean you're not useful?
First 60 words came quickly but no large ones!
liz, would you like a hand with the biggies?
You have to penetrate further to get tge karger ones
Not just yet - stats would be helpful though.
Larger
oh, dear, ruru, what is that you are drinking? and can i please have some?
di8, plural of di7
ty rose. I'll see if I stumble across it!
sa8, someone who plays the sa5
hadn't noticed that ending!
sago
oops!
brb, going to see if i like any of the external do5 DH thinks we are going to buy....hmmmmm. we need a new front do4.
have the sa 8. thanks.
Never thought of that ho 6 / 7 as one word!
well that was a waste of time. that site is completely useless. no pics at all.
are you getting a fancy door
nice job, liz, finding it
How about your kitchen? Did that ever get done or is it still in the garage?
ty for your clue.
hoping to do so, pugs. but it must also be secure.
haven't found the di 7 / 8 yet.
*snort* liz, still in the garage....*si4*
si 4 indeed!
So some marks need to be deducted when it comes to useful?
think something you clean with in the kitchen,Liz
tossing up which to do next...i think the kitchen....he thinks the lounge/bedroom change-over.
I have the di 4 then, if that's connected.
ty pugs.
it is
yrvw
OK need to go and make a marinade for the chicken. Friends for lunch tomorrow. BBL.
bye Liz
Def kitchen, Rose. It's amazing having a new kitchen.
maybe i'll be here...if not, have a good one, hun
You too :)
And if you're not here when I get back pugs, also have a good day :) Hugs to all.
are you planning on redoing the whole kitchen
Hugs back Liz
yup, have bought the sink and cooktop. will need a new oven/grill. and lots of new cupboards. the ones here are nearly 50 years old. i want all drawers. no having to crawl around to find what is at the back of a cupboard.
I understand that! You putting in lightwood cabnets
How many words today please
and i don't have a pantry/larder at all. am going to combine laundry and kitchen, with washing machine and dryer under a bench top, with a small rectangular trough between them.
131 gran
131, gran
thanks
I dont have a pantry either or much space for putting away stuff either
some i have seen, all you need to do is gently push on the drawer fronts and they slide open. as i said to DH, we also need to create a place for a di4washer, even if we don't instal one.
enjoy, gran. list in volleymomdee's profile
yeah that would be good if you are planning on selling in the future
I have to have a dishwasher
Ive never owned one myself
*shrugs and shakes head* well it is unsellable at the moment, with no function ing kitchen.
I always wanted a summer kitchen outside
Ru, you said you got to see Luck play ball before going to the colts--did you also get to see RG3 play too
last summer, i sent DH out to the BBQ to cook the meat for dinner. was really yummy...
we grill out a lot in the summer
No..but I l I ke RG 3
we use to cook a bunch just over the campfire
Like
I like him too, I hope he can make a 100% come back after his injuries
Seems so
hes playing the broncos this weekend
Oh boy
I think they pushed him too far that first year
Yes
where's joso tonight? is he moving? or playing possum?
dont know and Sprite is running late too---wondering how it went for her
oh, yes, sprite missing...hope she didn't do a mischief and end up in jail??
well I hope not either-lol
i think today will have been pretty traumatic for her and all the family.
I do too---I hope they got some good from it
back again....grrrr I hate it when friends arrive whilst its babble time....lol
welcome back Diz
good morning everyone:) 03:23 here and a tad of insomnia on the go so i thought i would pop in for a bit
Morning Crosshair, sorry you are having trouble sleeping
me too Crossy. Annoying, but thank god for babble.
at least with babble, there is always something to do when you have to sit up for a few minutes at odd hours
g'day crossie
and cooee jayk
see?? lots of nice company even in this hour of the night:)
aww, diz...loves ya too
I'm excited about your potential kitchen! We just did ours and it's lovely.
yay, jayk...so am i...
morning Jayk
we have those drawers too! Sometimes I open and close them for no reason other than how lovely they feel, compared to the ones installed in 1950. :)
Hi Pugs
hows your neck,Crossy
still very sore,puglet.my doctor called me 2 days after my CT scan and he has now ordered a MRI scan for me
though i must wait a month for that
so that thing you got didnt help
helped,but in a limited way.i still use it as perscribed,twice a day
well I hope you find a cure for it soon
good morning, babble friends :)
Hugs Sprite! How did it go
at least my mri time is nice.it is on a sunday at 10:45 am.these machines never stop and run 24/7, so it is not all that odd to get a MRI time for 2 am or 3 am on a tuesday
((sprite))
good grief.
it went ok.
LOLOL....DH just found out that we are at the end of our roll of foil..." we haven't enough to cover the pasta" . on checking, he found the new roll already bought and in the cupboard..." bite me" i said. when will he learn...i am so on top of the demands of this household....
will keep my fingers crossed for you, crossy.
rose and I were wondering about it
roflol... so you bit him?
you showed him granny!
oh, oh, sprite...*gentle hugs and kisses rained down all over*
i told my wife to 'bite me" once, she just said she does not like old,tough,fatty meat
pug, it really went ok. The therapists had made an agenda, but I took hold of the proceedings and demanded they first listened to how very very angry I was at Tim.
aw crossy...
ahh first meeting?
yeah first meeting with the whole family. We have had individual sessions already.
we did the same, sprite.we had to vent first
good Sprite! Rose was afraid you might be behind bars--lol
yay, sprite. you rock, girl
lolol well I was close, grin. So I vented.
vent that spleen!
ugh, crossie...hope your MRI results are all good, mate
Tim and Caya had a talk about their issues together, with all 4 of us watching... that went well too. And we have formulated the goals we all had in common. Tim has promised to start doing his tasks again, to keep his hands to himself and to stop harassing me.
I bet with your neck hurting so much it makes it hard on you at school, crossy
me too, crossy. Pain in the neck is such a pain in the butt... no it isn't... but you know what I mean.
i hope so as well granny,but there is sometyhing nasty going on in there,i am sure.the mrs is a full foot shortet than is, so that when we have hugs,it is not uncomon for her to rest her chin on my shoulder just in the hollow by my neck.she did that yesterday,just resting her chin lightly in that area and i felt the most ungodly pain. and it lasted for several minutes
yay....sprite, i do so hope tim keeps to his word...tell him, he back steps, i will be all over him like poison ivy...
for your sake Sprite I hope he does as he promises
oh dear. Not good, crossy.
i hope you and time and the rest of your family can with the professionals work things out spritre
tim
oh, crossie. dearest man, my email addy in profile. please keep in touch
yeah, here goes hoping. Caya told him that if he ever lifts a finger to hurt her again, she is gone and it will be over between them. And I thought: no way, if that happens, he is out of the home permanently.
we will do all we can to make that happen, crossy. I am much more worried about you.
caya? his gf?
thats sure dont sound good Crossy, will keep you in my prayers
caya is his sister.
good on you, sprite. and is tim aware how close he is to being clobbered majorly?
ahh ok.got it
how old is tim again?
yes, he is. I got the impression it kinda scared him.
17, crossy, and caya is 15
he's a teen...and that says it all
did it help you Sprite to be able to vent
and she is a mature 15 i take it
it did, pug, to vent and be heard. And taken seriously.
yes crossy, she is. A little too much even, sometimes. Taking on more than she should.
was your hubby able to vent too
i thought so.last thing you want is for her to feel so uncomfortable in the house that she leaves at that age
good, sprite....tim needs to know just how much you and rob are holding back.
yes he was. And he cried. That kind of shocked Tim too.
crossy, exactly. And if it is a choice between agressor and victim, I know who is moving out pronto.
i am sure.the pressure must be horrible for both you and hubby
good...tim needs to know his dad is only human....
funny thing is, in their personal goals they both expressed the wi4 to be closer to one another and do more things together. That gave me hope.
and tim needs to know his mum is super-human...she is gonna do all she can to protect her offspring.
seeing how you all felt about his shortcoming may open his eyes
yes.always find common ground first
very much so, rose. And yes, pug. Though the therapists did a very good job of not letting Tim become the scapegoat. Even though he is the one acting out, blaming only him will not help.
no indeed,find common ground rising up from the swamp,then build bridges
good therapists...sprite , it would appear you have definitely taken the correct road.
lol crossy, aptly put!
as i told you,sprite,we did this exact same thing when our boy was 12-16 and it saved our family
I hope and think so, rose. We will see. One thing that came up was that everybody in our family feels the strain of having an invalid in the house they are taking care of... me. So we will have to figure out ways to relieve them more without overtaxing me.
am very very happy to know that, crossy. It gives me hope.
now,hte "boy" is 19 and if he has an issue we just show him where all exit doors are;))
*giggles* Good job, crossy.
i am sorry,sprite.i did not know.how are your disabilities limiting you? are you wheelchair bound or using walkers etc?
can't walk far, can't stand for more than a few minutes, need to lie down after a few hours. Plus ptsd.
ahh ok,got ya.
*sigh* sprite...i guess that had to come up...your weakness, i mean. but did anyone focus on your strengths?
nope. I guess that will have to wait till another time. I recognize that it is taxing for my caretakers... and that in a family they all are caretakers. But so am I.
if i was intruding too far into personal info there,please forgive.mrs says i have about as much teach as a baseball bat sometimes
tact
lol crossy, never. You are free to ask and I appreciate your caring!
i have to share something with you all. you know how youngest son and wife are living infamily home? and they are thinking of buying it? the garden had at least 10 established camellias, 6 fully grown rhododendrums, and a mature jacaranda tree.
i am a taurus however,so that explains much:)
oh dear... I feel a but coming on...
sounds like a pretty garden
*loves crossy*
weel darling son attacked them all.....with a chain saw....they are no longer....
!!!!!
Silly man!
what????? to bring down the value of the property???
he is only 'renting' at the moment....my heart is breaking...
what was his reasoning in destroying your garden?
Extra hugs to you rose
well as someone renting the property, he had no right doing that. Have you considered contacting the police?
hi Liz *hugs*
crossie, he sees it as his garden...and sprite, he is living in the family home...
Hi sprite. Sorry, was here before but forgot I hadn't seen everyone. Hi to Crossy too.
howdy,liz
so? It is not his property, rose. I would certainly press charges. He devaluated your property very much with his demolition act.
np Liz, a good hug goes both ways ;)
Surely then in a FAMILY home, the family should be consulted before major changes to house or garden.
indeed,rose.it is your home.even though he is your son,no changes should happen in your home without your permission
not sure where to go with this latest development. one of the major selling points of the property was the garden. i8f he and his wife dont buy it next year, i will have his guts for garters.
once he signs the papers,he can do what he likes,but till then...no
Take a very deep breath!
have you contacted DIL? I seriously think you should. See what can be done. If nothing else, this should force him to buy it stat.
exactly, crossie
yes,work on this through DIL
yeah, liz..i know...and count to 10
if she is receptive
oh, crossie, don't start me...
Then head for the jugular! But not if he'll need sweet talking to be sure he buys!
uh oh..:((
your darling ex DIL I mean
then i can see some heads are going to roll here
am so so sorry, rose. Just what you don't need at the moment. The boy should have his arse kicked from here to jericho and back.
sprite, i know who you meant...and wouldn't you know it? this dearest son has turned his back on ex-DIL...why, oh, why, can they not see?
well,then lay it on the line.he is not to so much as change a lightbulb from here on out untill he signs on the dottend line
sprite, send tim over....maybe they will sort each other out....lolol
do not get crossy mad,i will hop a plane and come over there lol
Rose obviously knows her son best but if antagonising him means he won't buy .....
she is too good for him, grin. And hun, make sure you get DIL's help over this... and don't be afraid to stand up for your rights as owner. Your son just lowered the chances of you selling the house a lot.
agreed,liz,but he cannot destroy the home either
Wrong foot him! Tell him how much better it looks now it's cleared.
lol rose... great idea. We will put the bad guys together and let them sort eachother out.
LOLOL...crossy, wade in, mate...feel free!!!
I know, Crossy.
well,4 am here.will try for a little more sleep i think
take care my friends
i was really counting on the pair of them buying the house...but i didn't make a big thing of it...
Sleep well Crossy :)
I hope you will be able to sleep, crossy. Sweet dreams *hugs*
night Crossy, hugs
*gently cradles crossy, and sings a lullaby* sweet sleep, mate.
evict them and sell it on the market.
Did he say anything about why he'd done it or you not spoken?
awww pug, you have an autumn pug in your icon. How sweet!
not yet, liz...but am definitely planning on asking him...
thanks Sprite
Yes I meant to say I like your new icon, pugs.
thank you too Liz
I guess some people don't like plants.
Loads of people in the Uk concrete over the front garden for extra parking space.
Not something I'd do.
they were 'old-fashioned' plants. maybe they are planning on planting a 'drought-resistant' garden.
I wouldnt like no trees or flowers nor green grass
Charitable thought.
and people underestimate how much cooler things are with a garden around the house
rose, hun... I hope you are not trying to be understanding... they did wrong and should be made to feel it.
not counting the oxigen they put out for us to breath
We love having a garden and overlooking a park.
sprite, i tried to point out to him...the natural air-con of the trees and shrubs.
I hope Rose is right about replanting.
they will feel it when it gets hot, rose
as i said, if he and wife buy, no probs.
not much you can do now that they are gone but he could replace them
do they have a lease or is it all done as family?
let have your ex DIL look into the options, rose. Maybe this can be used to force their hand into buying.
but it is very sad and I feel for you Rose
rose did you say large jacaranda was chopped down?
Thinking about protecting the rest of the property.
hiya ursh :)
morning ursh
hi all
pugs, these were established trees and bushes. all he had to do was provide them with water in the hotter months.
Hi ursh :)
ugh, yes urshy
and hello, hun
we have lots of jacarandas in SA and they are regarded as alien trees and always talk of chopping them down because they suck up a lot of water and dont belong in a "dry" country - maybe that was what he was thinking ?
liz, done as family. but my brother, who is a chartered accountant is looking into it all for me.
urshy, the property is in the mountain ranges...lots of water to sustain it.
Good. The rest of it must be protected against further damage in case of your son not buying.
please keep us informed, rose. Am mad on behalf of you. Very mad.
as i am for you, dear sprite
Our capital city has streets lined with jacarandas - absolutely stunning when they are in flower
:) We mama lions are pretty intense when it comes to hurting our loved ones, aren't we ;)
Love jacaranda. In flower now here.
okay, the pasta is out of the oven. the salad is ready...will bbl. and urshy, if you google Grafton jacaranda festival, you will see why it is such an important tree down here in victoria.
Here too Liz - so lovely and every year there is a hoohah about ground water
enjoy dinner, rose. *hugs*
Bon appetite Rose and have a good evening.
hugs and kisses to all of you
Hugs
hugs and enjoy Rose
Iam throwing in the towel as well.Have company coming today so Iam going to try to get a couple hours of rest. Have a good day E1 and hugs to all
have a good rest, pug. *hugs*
Enjoy your day pugs. Hugs
100 down . Enough for now. Hugs to anyone still here.

lost 3 of the kilo's( about 6 1/2 lbs) put on since May...
lol...liz, no probs, hun
wd thats gotta be good 4 the op
Thanks also to Molly for posting Dee's list! Saves me putting in the gaps between the different letter combos!
yeah...but still have 10kg ( 24lbs) to go. :-(
Easy peasy Rose - you'll do it!
it's amazing how fast the weight goes on when you aren't active.
Your fingers are very active! But I know what you mean!
i lost 2.5 stones over a period of 6 months when i was diagnosed as diabetic! stress i think just fell offf me
And I'm sure Don keeps you active.
*giggle* you don't know the half of it, liz
right down to 36 time for a tea break. catch u later
Husband, lover, friend- as you said. So I can guess!
anita, the next op. will be a ' revision total knee replacement '. fingers crossed, the current prosthesis can remain untouched. skin pain i can handle...bone pain is another issue.
31 left here.
can i help liz?
Yes but not sure how! Possibly with some o words - have oo 4 and os 5.
od5, 4, 5...also another oo
Lacking a's still too - only have one out of 4 in 2nd column, top a!
Funny how vowels at the beginning of words seem to cause lots of people some difficulty!
US spellings of course!
Suddenly remembered the other oo word - seen it once or twice before.
Thanks.
ag4, 5, 6, ...aw5
So, I have the aw word.
Also have the seaweed cooking stuff.
ag's are ag4, 5, 4, 4, 5, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6
But perhaps it's a different ag 4?
Think I have the first five of those ag words! OMG! Still another 5 to find!
ag + short laugh, and it's plural
Have that!
ag4, ag + 2 vowles
ty =- now have that. Knew there was a double vowel combo but kept trying the wrong one!
ag + m***, fog
ty again - made sense when I tried pronouncing it properly!
ag + ring + decay
ty - should've known that one - Israeli currency!
Your clues are wonderful!
24 left now - have to go. Enjoy the rest of your evening and thanks again :)
np's liz, see you tomorrow, hun
See you tomorrow :)

Problem with not hearing the voice!

I guess it was funny! I just couldn't believe that!
i'm going to go around singing that now

It was so simple and I just hadn't seen it! Split second reaction!
But still funny!

True Lyn!
hi lynxxx
Any clues for anyone?
Or stats?
hi Annie
yeah what was hank aaron's career RBI average?
Too American!
and we all ask who is Hank Aaron and what does RBI mean
Who's hank aaron anyway?
oh, well you didn't specify what kind of stats we could ask for
I got that!
baseball player, Runs Batted In
i actually hate baseball, but, it just popped in my head
It's tough enough trying to learn all the Aussie teams! Aussie rules and rugby!
Is a run the whole square - or just from one base(?) to another
Never really understood baseball - bit like rounders i think!
isn't rugby a British thing too?
the whole square. a run batted in means, if you hit the ball, and someone scores a run as a result.
hi all! can I get a nudge for the O in the second row for nbt?
Yes so I'm OK on the game but sorting out which teams are rugby and which aussie rules, when I hear the news - very confusing!
os5.10 like the country Ru****
os 5 / 10
od 5 / 12
thanks so much! :)
witching hour here - night everyone
i really can't believe i, the baseball hater, put myself in a position of explaining it to foreigners. *shakes head*
Sleep well Lyn - I'll be off too even though it's an hour earlier!
Funny hurshy!
Hursh, I think you really are a displaced Brit. What with the coffee hate and baseball hate. : D
maybe i can give it to alanis morrisette for her "isn't it ironic, vol 2" song
and, i don't like american literature, i like british.
Hm! Hi Molly - I'm an Aus / Brit - love coffee and always have!
and then, i grew up loving star trek and then i discovered doctor who and i like it EVEN MORE!
Love Doctor Who and also enjoy star trek but love doctor who much more. Roll on Nov 23!
Grew up with Doctor Who - remember watching very first episode with my parents!
*Wonders if Hursh is a descendant of some redcoat family who didn't leave after The Revolution*
there is a petition to light up the empire state building in NYC blue like the tardis for nov 23
That'd be so cool!
actually i am a descendant of roger williams, and also of some revolutionary war fighter on the american side, and also of john and priscilla alden
i could be in the DAR, blech
And I really am off to bed now - enjoy your days :)
not but what i don't appreciate some american things. just, you know, not all.
like the idea of settling on canada as a happy compromise
still loyal to the crown, but not so far from family
if anyone wants to sign that doctor who empire state building petition, it's here: http://tinyurl.com/q7kjua8
Yes, it must not be fun to live in New England with all those pesky American patriot types.
no, new england is good, because we're not so crazy conservative.
what i really like is the idea of living in a country where, say, one doesn't have to imagine a crazy gunman coming in and shooting one could happen at any moment, and there is nothing anyone can do to change the fact that you have to live like that because half the country WANTS to live like that
hahahaha- just signing on- good tidings hursh- i will go sign that petition. I agree with you wholeheartedly btw. on all. :D
I see the Empire State Building from my apartment
and wouldn't you like to see it tardis blue on nov 23? :) :) :)
Annie, it sounds like you have a beautiful view
The blue is a patriot blue...I have no idea what tardis blue is
the point is, if you sign the petition, you can make geek fans of a television show happy. now isn't that a noble cause?
A very noble cause and I will sign.
:) :) :)
I see the NYC skyline and the Verrazano Bridge, Molly
i see trees
sometimes squirrely wirrellies
I see the tops of trees.
neighbors walkin their dogs
I also see the tops of cars.
i don't look outside that much though, when you have such cute cats inside you mostly just look at them
2nd column First A stats please?
How is dear Marty?
Annie, did they evacuate high rise residential buildings like yours on September 11th?
NON Babble question.. Does anyone know of a permanently free anti virus program?
he's ok, having a round of chemo this weekend so hoping he doesn't get too much of the brain-shocking-his-body reaction
hurshy i look at both:)
Microsoft Security Essentials
AVG has a free one
Molly do you have to reinstall it after a certain period of time?
have i mentioned i really like the name "jackanory"
No
Jack i thought AVG was free for two years but its only good for a month
I live at the tail end of Brooklyn but I have an unobstructed view of the city. Noone was evacuated from this area. Manhattan had mandatory evacuations.
I use a free version which seems fine, just have to update every year
You can get a deluxe version and pay for it and they offer a free month's trial, that might be what you tried?
jack i just had avg for a second time and it was not free after 30 days it used to be good for two years
good morning all
good morning peri
hurshy, I didint know about Marty's round of chemo. I hope he tolerates it well.

Hello welki, everyone.
Hello welki and TY!!
Yep, molly has list posted
Hi there Haz!
how's the pup, hazel? beautiful spaniel
hint for the di 7/8, pls
He's sitting beside me, snoozing and happy. He's great fun, much more cuddly than other dogs I've had.
nm, figured it out
has to do with cloth used to clean dishes bichon
I completely ignored the lone r in this grid.
ty Jill
we have a golden retriever and a border collie, haz. the collie is a rescue, but we went to a breeder for the retriever. she picked out a puppy for us because he was more 'independent' and 'aloof' than his littermates (we work and spend hours away from home) - hahaha, joke's on us, this guy is anything BUT independent and aloof, he's like hairy velcro :)
Well, THAT paints a picture welki!! I am chuckling away!!
You didn't test him for left paw/right paw? There's a whole theory going round that depending on which paw the pup favours for starting to walk indicates what his/her personality is going to be like.
Hairy velcro is so descriptive.
haz, he's a golden retriever - pretty certain they're all fairly similar in personality - big goofuses
We have a golden retriever living next door. Very amiable!
Okay, nbt/nbs, halfway and met the bar set previiously to have left column greyed out. Now off to roust hubby up and enjoy this final warm fall day.
(that said, i have known some goldens who don't fit the goofus description, but most of the ones i've met do)
we're getting snow tomorrow, jilly - you, too?
good morning everyone ! Snow here tomorrow too!
Good morning, diane.
Hi welki, Jilly, Haz, Bichon and everyone else :-)
diane :) we were going to take my daughter and grandkids to the royal tyrrell tomorrow - that may not work if the weather turns
hi diane, Haz
I still have some geraniums to pull... could not bear to do it while they were still blooming :-(
I guess it depends on the roads.... I hope it works out. I've never been. I think most of the display is inside, isn't it ?
I know, you feel if they have the strength to bloom you shouldn't deprive them of life.
My Spirea is still blooming
yes, there's a lot to see inside, but part of the fun is scrambling out in the park to see if you can find a specimen - we have a 4 yr old who tells me she wants to be a paleontologist
I'm impressed that a 4 year-old can say the word!
cute :-) How's that little baby?..... probably growing too fast, as they all seem to do these days !
haz, she amazes me - yesterday, she told me all about diabetes.
and the baby, diane, is 8 months old, a cutie - very happy little girl :)
Goodness me, you've got a prodigy on your hands.
Our two year old great granddaughter was over last night and she's such fun..... going to miss her when we go south, but we "facetime" most nights at bedtime.
she's like her mother, haz - i used to wish she'd have a child just like the one she was, and that's what she got
i saw her pics, diane - i remember when the first little baby photos were posted, two years old already!
.... darn old "time".... passing MUCH too quickly !!
It's a lovely time when you can just see children developing. We used to feel like freeze-framing our girls when they were at an especially nice stage but learned that each stage is exciting and just to go with it.
Exactly, Haz!!.... you are so right :-)
"time is the fire in which we burn"
crossy stole that one:)
so.... give me the extinguisher, QUICKLY !!!
hehe
Good morning, Crossy
morning, crossy
morning,diane,welki,et al

The copay for my rescue inhaler went up...... to 300 dollars!!!! How the **** am i gonna breath?
ross
on my way -- hagd, all :)
buy them in Canada Jubi..it's a lot cheaper
300 dollars for a regular blue ventolin rescue inhaLER??? THAT IS INSANITY!!!
sorry caps
now some of our steroid inhalers can be 100 or so,but a standard ventolin inhaler for rescue purposes is 24 dollars
i have thought for a long time that the time has come to take the blue Ventolin rescue inhalers off the list and make them non-perscription. heck i can remember when Monostat needed an RX. for some meds it just makes more sense to have them redily available to the public at a low cost for all
since i use both the ventolin and becolovent inhalers myself;)
Jubi, Sam's Club and Costco have discount prescriptions. I would try there if you can. This is just the beginning of the health care catastrophe.
Pretty sure health care has been a catastrophe for years.
Hi all!
Indeed, but it's going to get a lot worse.
To each his own opinion, but I'll finally be able to buy insurance at a reasonable price after 5 years without it.
To each their own opinion on what a reasonable price is and what you get for that price.
Well for me $300 a month for a very good covereage policy is better than $600 a month (which I could not afford when I was single) for a plan with a $5000 yearly deductible before they paid anything.
*coverage
Anyway- off to bury myself in the grid.
done. nice grid.
Yay for Annie! : )

Oh dear. I didn't realise my 'lately' was quite so late. Hello anybody still here :-)
Hiyas, neighbors!@

Agreed! Hello Judi & Molly
I just KNOW New Kid In Town is going to earworm me to death this evening.
'Here Lies Soodle'. Earwormed to death 10/26/2013'
Well then, no time like the present to launch into your famous chorus of Winner Takes It All.
*tosses noise cancelling headphones to Soodle* Just pretend to look interested.
What do the 8s start with?
Actually humming Poor Jeb is Dead, from 'Oklahoma'.....
Not a 7 nor an 8 do I have Judi. Sorry
Oops. Just found a Di7 & 8.
Sa8
Ty, Kristin. Looking.
Musical instrument in india, one who plays it has a 5/6 combo too
No clue what that might be.
Sitar doesn't work...
Uhg. Tired. Just spent four hours working out in the yard. Cleaned some gutters. Dug ups some lily bulbs to relocate/transplant. Gorgeous day.
sa + Mr. Serling (Twilight Zone) + last three of where you wear a bracelet
Ty, Molly. Cracking clue!
Need to shower, but I'm too tired. Nibbling some chips.
Keening for dead Jeb and wondering why we're in funeral mode
Phooey. It's happy hour!
*Opens the bar and pours the wine and whiskey*
Odd combo, but I'm in!
I have to allow for the winos here.
* resembles that remark *
Kinda hungry. Should have something to eat besides chips.
I've about had it with this grid. It's getting on my nerves.
Judi you mean you don't play the lute? Sorry had company stop by and couldn't clue.
I don't play any musical instrument, Kristin. Wish I did.
<------ wino present & ready for duty. Hic.
Thinking of cooking up some chicken for my dinner. A little BBQ sauce, some salad...
I had to google it to find the word based on previous clue
Okay. Gonna throw in the towel on this one. 31 words left. No Lickety. Off I toddle to cook some grub. See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*
Sooo looking forward to dinner tomorrow. Been grabbing fast food all week. Roast chicken from scratch tomorrow, roast potatoes, cauliflower & cheese sauce, broccoli & carrots with scratch gravy, stuffing & turnips. I can't wait.

down to 19 without using a list.
wtg peri
Just started, only 129 words to go :)
ty. I know there are some who finish the grids in 10 minutes or less without a list but this is good for me
will have to go to dee/molly
's list to finish tho
To me, it's not a contest, Peri. Everyone plays their own way.
I know.
I love melonhead's attitude, she "aims for mediocrity"
If I could finish these grids in ten minutes with no list, it would not be a challenge, therefore, no fun.
I was relieved when the addictive stage passed and I can now take or leave finishing
Very true Molly
It's all about how much fun you have with it.
I like popping in and out and love the chat when I have time
looking at the list now and see that I missed a bunch of easy words. but that is ok
fw, bye for now
Congrats peri

but stomach is telling me to eat . . .
5 to go, throwing food into oven now
Hi Book Doctor Gwen, are you still here?
And Good Evening to Everyone else! I hope you're all enjoying your day!
Hmmm. the "Who's Online tab says there are 94 here now; everybody is either lurking or wandering somewhere else tonight...
lurking! heh heh
just threw some food in the oven
okay, 5 to go
finito fireworks and woopie cushions
any lurkers need clues?
10 . . . 9 . . . 8 . . .
hi!
oh hi there
I was reading my emails; had this page open but my mailbox page was covering chat. Sorry
Howare you doing tonight? Did you finish?
apology accepted LOL
yep, just finished
YAY, Book Doctor Gwenn (just read chat and saw you did)
doing okay except for the stupid excema on fingers
what are you using for it?
i have some anti-itch lotion. it helps a lot,, but not a cure
This time of year I always get those nasty finger tip splits that will heal and resplit all winter long.
sounds nasty
lotta adhesive bandagaes for both of us
have you had a Derm consult for it? I have good success with Eucerin cream, but it's thick and kind of greasy so I don't use it enough to stop them for good. (and yes, lots of bandages)
shepard's lotion nef
is that like bag balm, ruru?
Because I've tried that and it didn't help at all.
no.. it's a healing lotion
not greasy
mrs ru has the same issue. She also has another cream. I'll ask her what it is. the doctor prescribed it
okay, I'll look for it. Is it at drug stores or do I need to get it online?
should be at drug stores.. white lotion blue label
okay; I'll look for it then
you might like it
mrs ru swears by it
i'll find out what the other cream is..
dermatologist? not lately. went to one years ago (at least 20), me and Mom have same thing, she used the cream and I didn't (well, I did for a little while) and we both still have this crap, so what good is the cream?
maybe i'll see a doctor when i have coverage, but i have none yet
I've never heard of it before. Eucering is in a 1 lb jar and very thick. It works wonders on DH's excema on his legs; but I wa4/9 my hands so often I don't always stop and put it on everytime
that's one of the big contributors to cracking skin .. washing a lot
mrs ru is OCD about washing her hands
Eucerin, not eucering. It's good, and cheap for how long it lasts
dinner is almost ready
yeah, I am too. When I worked in the hospital I wa4/9ed my hands sometimes 60 times a night (12 hour shift) in ICU. You don't break that type of habit easily
<------ starving right now
what's for dinner, ruru? (we had spaghetti)
yes.. i understand nef.. you have to wash that often
ruru, just say a bad word and get in the PB. there must be snacks in there LOL
tortelini ala Picasso
Peanut butter cups and gelato in the PB at minimum.
when i wash hands the excema throbs until hands are dry
oh.. i need to say a word
picasso? does that mean all the toppings in places you wouldn't expect?
what's the "ala Picasso" part (I love tortinelli)
no.. it's homemade tortelini.. and it looks like Picasso made them :D
You've BEEN saying a word, ruru! :-)
three noses all where they don't belong!
LOL, Gwen!
*the gelato is wonderful in the PB*
(that is the definiton of cubism that i have in my head)
*has second peanut butter cup >D
I'll go for the peanut butter cups instead...
mmmmm, chocolate and peanut butter
caramel gelato and peanut butter cups..
slurp
enjoy yourself, ruru! I've been cold all day; not interested in gelato right now
*gonna kill DC later for this :D
I'm actually trying to stay away from ice cream too nef.. not good for my diet
just don't ruin your appetite ruru or Mrs. ruru may kill you too!
But fat and sugar, who needs more LOL
water's boiling .. see you later.. good luck
space heaters work wonders for me
lol dc
my room is so warm i have a window cracked.
bye ruru! Enjoy your supper!
DH is comfy; so the thermostat is set at 69 degrees. I've got a polar fleece jacket on and heavy socks and winter slippers and am chilled
(DH feels better on the cool side; MS symptoms are worse if he's too warm)
two or three more layers oughta do it LOL
(In the summer the A/C is on and he uses cooling jackets or cooling scarves to keep the A/C bills down
ag 6/24? i have a plural
Yeah. My grandson is running around in his pj's without slippers or robe and my son has a heavier sweater on, so who knows which temp works?
long ag* and spoilt meat, LA
thx will work with that. not gonna lie, have had lots of merlot tonight
there we go! :)
3 letter word for spoiled, LA.
YAY!
nef, have you ever been to chicago? have a friend considering moving from chi to minneapolis
he's worried about leaving the chi nightlife
a couple of times, LA. why?
just wondering how you would compare the two cities
i've only been to st. paul once, but enjoyed myself
What part of nightlife does he like? MPLS St. Paul has more theaters than Chicago, and they both have very distinct night life bars and restaurants too
Actually, I should have said what SORT of night life instead
sorry, usually a lurker, but I've lived in both chicago and mpls. there's a big difference between the two.
what do you think the differences are, is1?
it's not just the quantity of options, but the variety in chicago is much greater. i love mpls, but it's kind of homogeneous
St. Paul is much different from MPLS (those were the 2 cities I was saying have distinct nightlifes)
i don't know about night life specifically, but chicago is a lot bigger in terms of population, and a lot more diverse, in general
yeah. friend's gf just got a job in minneapolis and he has to decide whether to go with her or stay in chi
true, Gwen. But I don't think Mpls is as homogeneous as it used to be
mpls has the guthrie, the university and a couple of excellent art museums. chgo has 4 major theatres (plus about 30 smaller ones), 5 or 6 great art museums.
ls, where are you? i used to live in aurora
It used to be that MPLS was basically Scandinavian and St. Paul was very Irish. Both cities still lean towards those cultures; but there have been significant changes in the last 10 years or so
bye, time for din-din
i'm in oak park. i guess you can kind of tell i think chicago is the best city in the country
BUT, i also loved mpls when i lived there.
granted, there's many other things he needs to consider. but just thought i'd ask
st. paul is lovely. last time i visited the cities i decided that if i moved back that's where i'd live.
I believe that the Twin Cities have over 70 theater companies with the Guthrie being the most notable; but we also have lots of museums (at least 10 that are recognised around the world
my sister still lives in chi (pilsen). was just up there for the marathon
and the guthrie is beautiful. not just a theatre but a community meeting place.
I miss the restaurants and food and the live music the most since I left Chicago. When I go back to visit all we do is eat and listen to live music. I lived there for 30+ years. If I won the Lotto I would have a pied a terre on the drive and spend summers there.
are you talking about the old Guthrie (which is now the walker museum) or the new one built in the last 6 years?
where are you now, book women?
the new one by the u. and, just warning you nef, i work in theatre, so i'll defend chi as the premier theatre city in the country. half of new york playwrights and directors are just visiting there from chi, not to mention the plays that come from here.
Alabama. Talk about Culture shock. Even though I live in the Huntsville area which is more cosmopolitan than a lot of the state it is still Alabama
Nef, that came out much more aggressive than i meant it to. it was a jokey warning, not serious
good evening!
Hi all can I have a clue for the ag 5/16 please?
haha. ls wants to FIGHT
ag + laughs, jack
Chicago does have great theatre. I remember seeing Steppenwolf when it was in a basment of a HP Church. I also loved all the dance companies. Not to mention the theatre buildings.
no problem, is 1. I didn't take offense. The last time I was in Chicago though, my dtr and I went to the museum of modern art (I can't remember the name of it though) and they had a visiting show form Mpls Walker Museum! :-)
ty will work with that
in all honesty, LA, they are both wonderful cities. both beautiful and very cultured. one's just bigger than the other.
i did love the outdoor art in minneapolis at... modern art museum? something like that. a spoon with a cherry on it was the big draw
love the walker, i was a gallery guard there through college.
Leaving is far and away my best experiences with big cities.
really, is 1? I only wi4 I could get DH to go there more often
bookwomen, my boss was the first general manager for steppenwolf and worked with them for 30 years. the theatre community here is very incestuous, we've all worked everywhere.
That's outside the Walker Art Museum, LA. I love taking visitors there anytime of the day or night!
it was lovely.
he's got great stories about gary senise and john malkovich, one of them is not very nice.
which one is?
they both seem very odd
let's just say that senise is very gracious.
is theatre totally separate from comedy, ls? have a few friends in that scene
thanks, he seems so deadpan whenever he acts so I was not sure. I can't watch the other guy's stuff
Those stories must be fun. That would be my guess.
not at all. second city is a huge player here, both for training actors and for producing writers. lots of good comedy troupes.
We used to love going to Second City late at night for the free improv.
my very good friend in comedy trained at io. but has several friends who have made appearances on comedy central, chelsea lately etc.
(phone call, not being uninterested or uninvolved. My sister is ill, so reading and not able to respond much)
my daughter was involved with io. great stuff.
indeed! have seen several hilarious shows ther
*there
but DON'T park at the starbucks around the corner - got towed from there on a late snowy night :(
the cool thing is that all those folks come back to chi all the time. you can see some amazing people on stage here.
what is your daughter doing now? still in comedy?
actors, directors, comedians; they all come back because chi is such a welcoming and collaborative city. it's like vacation for them
Remember the song Lincoln Park Towing? I was towed many times and always was one ticket away from being booted. Every once in a while my parents will get a notice in the mail.
no, la. she's now a teaching artist bringing theatre into the public schools.
bah. still have to pay a ticket from the last time i visited my sis.
bw, steve goodman! don't get me started on the folk music scene here.
well, i'm afraid the parking situation is worse than ever now. we had such hopes for rahm emmanuel... oh well.
ok, enough work for the chicago tourism bureau.
that's why the hubby never wanted to live in the city... wanted to live in a place where you could drive from point a to point b with no hassle
Last time I went to old neighborhood I was shocked at how much it cost to park on the street. You know it is high when the meters take credit cards. I used to hate spending hours looking for parking.
what neighborhood were you in, bw?
We lived off of Rush at 8 W. Maple and then we moved to Taylor Street at 905 S. Laflin. Still remember those addresses.
my dtr works for MN tourism; she's the telephone voice for Explore MN
ok! my sis lives off of damen & 18th
where are you now bw?
I grew up in Lake Bluff on the North Shore. My Hubby is from Rogers Park. So we both miss the place. We are in Alabama now
that's quite a change
la, is that considered chinatown?
no, still pilsen
I had a friend living on 18th.
used to work at 18th and michigan
great restaurants on 18th in pilsen
indeed! they used to be at 18th and peoria, then bought the house off 18th and damen
she always takes people to a bbq joint that was featured on the food network
Wonderful italian restuarant there and the tortilla factory. Nothing like a real fresh tortilla. Did you work at Michael Reese? I worked at IIT at 35th.
honky tonk?
yes! honky tonk. could not remember the name. told ru about the bacon ice cream we had there
no, i worked at the glessner house museum
They are serving Alabama White Barbecue sauce in Chicago restaurants now. I used to go the Glessner. My dad is very involved in the Chicago Arch Foundation.
really? how long has he been involved? i was dir. of operations in the late 80's
hi everyone
Many years. He developed the tours for Roselawn and Graceland. His name is Robert Cook
If you met him you would not forget him. He is rather outgoing.
that's so cool! so he's a docent? i wasn't very involved with tours.
Yes he is/was a docent. He still gives private tours but he is sort of retired. He still goes to the parties and lots of the tours. He is now a Emeritus.
that's great. it's a good organization.
Nice talking Chicago with you. Time for me to make dinner.
yeah, just thinking it's time to go back to lurking and finishing the grid. nice chatting with you all.
i've just got di 7/8 to finish?
good night
ah! got it! fireworks
yeah leslieann
congrats
YAY, LA!!! WTG!!!
hi nef!
Hi JenMO!
I got 100 left!
I'm on the phone, can't talk too much right now...
ok
wow, down to 89 in 3 minutes!
Sorry; my sister is done talking to me now. Our other sister was hunting with her husband and her appendix burst so she had it removed and is ill with infection. The oldest sister was on the phone with me is a drama queen, and the sick sister had called me today saying she was going home and (unfortunately) had to call the older one and let her know about it
oh dear!
(Younger sister needed someone at home with her tonight before her hubby gets home with all the dogs and camping stuff; I'm 2 states away but would have gone if she would have let me)
Older sister lives 135 miles away and was heading over to Missoula tomorrow anyway (which is where younger sister lives -in Montana)
And the funny thing is younger sister didn't want to tell older sister she was ill because older sister gets so dramatic about stuff like this
Only 2 to go. Need help with ho6 and ho7 please?
weiner in a bun
food for a baseball game
+ pl
Ty can't imagine why I didn't see that!
because it's so twisty, Jackanory! :-)
YAY, Jackanory!!! WTG!!!
not cold cats :D
good one, ru
*glad Bugs specified the bun*
It's a relief to have finished I can tell you!
LOL! "Gh5/16 Adventures" is on TV and they are talking about malevolent spirits. Just as I entered the gh5, my mouse pointer took off across the screen and for an instant I was spooked! Then I realized that my foot was on the mouse cord!~ :-D
ruru - surely you meant 'not cold and not cats'? lol
nope.. I meant not cold cats :D
The gh5/16 word had me listening to an old track from R. Dean Taylor - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EInKyh\n5QXQ
I know about malevolent spirits
I get it, ruru. We all clue differently.
bun? hairy weiner?
I wish I could come up with clever clues all the time.. usually I'm not great at cluing
*puts R rating on 0-0 *
lol - ruru - what's an 'r' rating?
in america .. movies are rated by violence, sexual content and swearing (censorship)
G is ok for kids PG for slightly older kids, R for older teens, and X for whackos
well, considering that that one political candidate in NY's name is Weiner and he's sent naked Tweets of himself; I agree that o-o should have an "R" rating
is he still running for mayor.. what a joke
Thanks for the explanation, ruru.
I haven't heard in the past week, ruru; but he was a bit over a week ago
PG means parental guidance
wow.. that's unbelievable nef.. he should really pull out :D
I know what PG and X mean, but wasn't sure about the other ratings.
there are very few "G" rated movies anymore.... I think that that's very sad
ruru! Now you need an "R" rating too
R is restricted.. usually to 17 + years old.. although it's probably changed a lot nowadays as there's more violence on the TV than movies
I like the x rating explanation for wackos
I agree, snags
hi 64 to go
:)
hi harp. How are you doing? (I've been stuck at 41 words for a while now)
Hi Harp.
Nef - I finished this about half an hour after it arrived. So, I can clue if you want.

hi jac
Boone's Farm Apple Wine. Thunderbird. Mad Dog 20/20

clue for sa8 please?
it comes off the sa 5/12' the person who plays the sa 5/12
hm, i guess i don't have that one either
sa +stick
Sory I didn't clue - I'd gone off onto youtube to listen to Sinead O'Connor.
thnks rururocks! Got it!
I only know her one hit jacula and they played it wwwwwayyyy too much
good going jerry
don't you have to shave your head to listen to her music?
Well, ruru, you should listen to 'Troy' and all her others. Google it on youtube.
she had more than 1 hit ruru.
ruru - Lol, no.
she did?
wow.. am i out of date or what :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFpregq\n5eJ4
(you're a guy, ruru; I think women listened to her more than men...
well.. i know she is certainly political
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThqKGOB\ntpp0
Perhaps Joan Baez is more acceptable, since she has long hair? Mind you, she didn't in this clip...V
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGMHSbc\nd_qI
Anyway, all that aside, does anyone need any more clues?
I might jac, i'm really slowing down, 28 to go
I'm doing okay now that I got rid of all vowels and the left column and bottom 2 rows, Jac.
ag5/14? not the greek marketplace?
4:08 here in UK, really 5:08, since the clocks went back one hour at 2am. I doubt I will sleep until the threat of the big wind and rain stom due to arrive tonight is past. When you've had your home flooded 4 times and you can no longer get insurance, it kinda freaks you out.
ag +common 3 letter suffix in this grid
I can imagine jac
sounds awful
harp - ag5.14 - the plural of the ag4.6 - scientific jelly.
thanks 23 now
sounds horrid to go without sleep that long, Jac. Not that I blame you, but....
10
Nef - I will sleep, so long as othe half and my son are thre to help, but I will only sleep when exhausted.
Have you now grown attached to Whoopee John, Jacula?
to 5/14?
sorry, Harp, I don't have that one yet (but am looking)
pl
Roman garb worn during Ceasar's reign
(and as o-o said, it's a pl)
frat party clothing
o-o - who the hell is whoopee john?
you loved him when I gave you the link to a couple of his polkas
LOL, Jacula. He was a famous (here in middle America anyway) polka bandleader
o-o - no idea what you mean. Please elucidate.
I guess he's someone the folk singers got their inspiration from?
He played at some barn dances .... had to be careful to get out of the way of the barns ...
You have to give mee leeway, because, before the internet showed us how much USA TV showed, we really didn't have all that info in the UK.
thanks for the to5, i just have 2 to go now
finally! thanks for the help!
Great going, Harp! You're faster than me; but I'll finish too. (just went to the list)
I'm not sure wether to waait for the flip or just go.
I can't stay awake that long. I have the opposite problem of you, I guess, jac
harp - yes.xx
same here, Harp.
Ruru, I saw someone on line last week that I think might be the person involved with Mr P episode.....the initials are LM. Is that the one.
