I'm back. Hey there, puglet.
welcome back
How are things with you Peach
Thanks, hon. How are things with you?
besides being sick of this artic air, Iam fine
awoo should be a word IMO
I am just trying to keep warm. Cold seems to make my problems worse.
its below zero right now and will be 55 tomorrow. im gonna be sick from this weather.
I bet it does! Are you having allot of pain now Peach
Gosh, Cos....I am so ready for Spring.
Yes, pug.
so am I! Very excited for St Pats and Mardi Gras lol
a day of 55 temps would seem like spring here
I don't have a single "be" word, any will be appreciated.
bohoe
sorry
Iam so sorry for you Peach,,wish I could do something to ease it for you
I dont either Peach---all my b words are bo's
Just pray for me, pug, please. It does work. Thank you for being such a caring person.
be4/8
what is the matter peach?
I do and will continue Peach
hi all
Thank so much, pug.
Peri, I have Post Polio Syndrome, arithitis
Hi Peri--hows your flu/cold
you are welcome Peach
I am much better, thanks for asking pugs.
is it very painful, peach?
Very glad for you Peri
Sorry, hit enter key. And problems with arms that started when I was attacked by a family member and tore both tendons, damaged the roter cuffs and had a hughe hematome that went from my elbow to my shoulder.
ty
oh my, peach.
((((((peach)))))
how are you doing, pugs?
Iam doing fine, thank you
good
Peri, I had heard about elder abuse, but never thought I would happen to me. Three doctors and two attorneys wanted me to have him prosecuted. I could not because of my daughter's heart condition.
peach, you do have a lot on your plate
well, I am going back to bed, happy babbling
It happened September 22, 2009 at around 6:30PM. One of my doctors filed a case on what happened, ultimately, I had to leave CT....came home 4 years ago.
night Peri
pug, where are the rest of the gang?
I dont know Peach
Are the roads clear?
I seen Rose lurking, she must not be feeling well
NO, Peach and its so darn cold and more snow tonight and more falling temps too
Rats! Do you have plenty of food in the house.
and the heat and electric bills just keep climbing :(
morning all. gap: be5/24 (not here .... its got past that and is pouring with rain)
yes--I got out the day before and got a few things
Yes, mine are also.
not much one can do--you got to keep warm and try to keep the waterlines from freezing
Good morning, scouser.
Moorning Scouser
morning pugs and gap
Yes, I leave a faucet dripping in the kitchen.
Has the snow and artic air hit your way Peach
I do too Peach
gap: hope you let it drip into a jar ! I am on a water meter here - it cut the bill by 50%
Yes, it has been to coldest winter, so far, since I moved here in 1977. Thank God, we don't have ice and snow.....the south just isn't equipped to take care of the roads.
I let mine drip into a small bucket and use it for other things
Thanks for that, scouser. I will.
well done pug
Im on well water but still no reason to waste it
I need to do a few things.....still have 12 to go....may come back later in the day. Blessings to all of the BABBLERS.
Bye Peach--have a good day
ok gap best wishes
need coffee
hi all
Hi Sir Joso
hey pug, how are you, your sister and the critters
We all fine---just waiting on a thaw out----and you?
all cool on the joso front
its a lonely room tonight or this morning
have you had any news of rose and her aqua fitness class
from your last statement I guess not
nope--I seen her lurking earlier but she's never came on. So I dont know whats with her--sick or not feeling up to power or shes been bad
she said yesterday that she had her first physio today, she may be doing jumping jacks as we speak, or exhausted and taking a nap
plus they were to move into the new room too
ah, maybe she and DH are breaking in the new room properly
christening so to speak ;)
Never can tell whats going on with them or her--lol
will be back later on today---bye Joso and any others
bye pug
good morning
just have 5 mins to say hello if anybody's here
hey ruby, hows life treating you
well i'm off, hope the ghosts don't miss me too terribly
good morning everyone:)
Hi all :)
Hello, everyone!
((crossy)) You have a wolf word in the grid today!
good morning babblers
Mimi, are you up quite early?
Hi, Annie!
((mimi)) liz ,annie:))
morning, crossy
Yes, Annie..it's 5:30 here. I'm up by 5 every morning but lately more like 4:00. Been falling asleep a bit early as I've been working like a crazy person lately...haven't had a real day off since...can't even remember. But that's my choice.
at least you no longer have to deal with the alien chipmunk
I remember the alien chipmunk
Yep--and I'm thankful for that every day, crossy. The doc I am transcribing has had a bad cold for a few days, though, and has been slurring her words and generally screwing up---a lot. Good thing I know what I'm doing 'cause I have her back.
And she likes to eat an apple while dictating....hey, little annoyance compared to the crazy doc.
Crossy, how's your mouth doing? I get to start my dental adventure soon...needs to be done but really dreading it...you can relate.
This grid started out great for me but went south pretty fast. :(
"crossy does a happy dance as of today i am done the entire math curriculum ahead of the class!: bad part is i have to just amuse myself till final exam next wed. she cannot give it out early.. mouth is doing ok and all is quiet, mimi (knock on wood) my next apt is feb 5th
HOORAY for you, crossy! Great job with the math. You are just too clever! Glad your mouth is stable as well.
Liz---you can access my Jigidi puzzles now.
yes, this is one of those tricksy grids. It teases you in, makes you think it is a cake walk and WHAMMO! makes you squeal in agony for the last half
Sounds a lot like my marriage, crossy....
I have a new puzzle up as well, mimi. it is a WWF sceth of an endangered sea turtle but done with designs from city scapes
lol mimi!!
sketch
crossy seems to have a lisp today:)
Wow---will have to grab that one, crossy. How many pieces? Can we decrease the number of pieces in Jigidi? You can change the number in TheJigsawPuzzles.com. Am really loving that site.
it is in the low 200,s I thin 226
crossy, I did your babble puzzle. Enjoyed it.
yes, the pievces can go for 12 to 400+ in some instances
glad you liked it , annie
Great---I have a short attention span.
though it limited my sea turtle to 226
I have sizes for everyone atm from 122 right up to 450 I believe
I don't see the turtle, crossy..and I refreshed.
Going to try Mountain River, though...love scenes like that.
let me look, mimi
it is there, mimi on the top left 260 pieces
though mountain river is a pretty one if I do say so myself. not a bad shot considering I used an I-phone 4
Not on mine, crossy...leave it to me to be a problem! I refreshed again. Try one of mine, crossy...they have all been my Babble icons and the pics are really pretty.
i will,mimi:)) it will be next. just finishing up my snowy fence
Mimi, what is your name on jigidi?
I think you'll especially like the Monument Valley one...stunningly stark. It's a very spiritual place.
but no matter, you will love my mountain river
i am going to take a peek now mimi. you use same name there?
Same as here, Annie...MimiCat.
thanks
My pleasure.
Just what I needed, another addiction!
;))
yup.bookmarked monument valley
and my name is also the same if you wish to peek at my puzzles,annie
Hope you enjoy it, crossy.
Where did Liz go????
i am sure i will
oh! it is a tiny one 77 pieces!
crossy, I know. I already did your babble grid puzzle.
lizlin and I have been doing 400+ brain busters for so long,this will be a treat
Annie, you should also try TheJigsawPuzzles.com. They have some really great themes...I LOVE the Bridges section.
and I did one of sprites.
yes, you said that. the mind is the first thing to go i am told, so watch out for crossy
I wll, Mimi. Thanks
Can you expand my puzzle pieces, crossy, or must I do that?
you need to do that, mimi. good thing is you can reissue the same puzzle as many times as you like. many members make an easy and hard puzzle of each picture
OK..I'll see if I can figure that out...I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to those kinds of things.
Annie, when you go to that puzzle site, try the spiral mode for the pieces...I LOVE that one.
Must get to work. Enjoy the day, everyone! Hugs all around.♥
Can you believe I JUST NOW figured out how the tile stats boxes work?!!!
was a fun puzzle ,mimi. 10 minutes and 18 seconds;))
lol mimi
Yeah, crossy---I'm easy..(what?)!!!
lol!
Hi, TO! I was just leaving. How are you doing today?
fine, getting ready to go downtown
Love the mug, TO!!
♪♪Downtown...things will be great when you're downtown♪♪
Yep. we have the pixies today!
My son just sent me a video of grandson Nathaniel (age 1 and change) playing with the Mozart Cube I got him for Christmas. This one seems to have inherited my love of music...will we ever have fun!
very nice:))
just googled a Mozart cube. cute toy
I jut ordered battery powered LED night lights for both boys...one is an elephant and the other a dolphin...and they change colors.
It's great, crossy...you can play one instrument at a time or the whole orchestra. He was sitting there letting the orchestra play and slapping his legs in time...soooo cute.
why is it that grandparents almost always buy noisy toys?? my M.I.L wanted to get my son a drum set when he was 6
lol
At least this one plays Mozart! And it isn't that noisy. But as they grow, we'll be great buddies because, after all, we have a common "enemy."
i said "sure go ahead, as long as you set it up here for when he visits"
lol grandkids, a parents revenge
i already laid the parents curse on my son " i hope that when you have kids of your own,they behave exactly like you"
And I found a great item for myself...battery powered tealight candles with a built in timer!! They automatically turn off after 6 hours, turn back on 18 hours later, etc. Fabulous. I'm telling you, Amazon has EVERYTHING...no need to shop anywhere else.
sound nice indeed;)
i once bought my beloved folating lotus candles for the tub
I can't wait for my son to one day realize his children are "channeling" their grandmother!!
and you will hear him from a distance.. "NOOOOOO!"
They have battery powered lotus candles, too, crossy!! Just ordered two!
FLOATING
damn caps
Hehe...can't wait for that!
lol
well,must get out of here and head to class. tc all and happy babbling

29 here in Austin with ice on the ground
blazing hot and humid here - just as miserable
I am SOOOOOO ready for spring
The wind is the impetus driving fierce cold into your soul.
... interestingly, people still comment it is cold as hell.
Good day to all. One degree F here, sunny, and beautiful. I will cross-country ski after lunch.
1 degree here also and also sunny
I must refill all of the birdeeders. The birds need their fuel.
The squirrels too.
crows bully the other birds at the feeder ... squirrels do as they please
Crows, blue jays--bullies.
Do your cross country skills get increasingly better as the years go by, Scrabbler?
Oh, yes. I used to remove my skis and walk down some hills to avoid a nasty fall. Now I go down easily. I also switched to backcountry skis 3 yrs ago--higher, stiffer boots, wider skis with metal edges. Improved control for me.
And my endurance is better. I used to do one loop (2.25 miles) and be done. I can do 2 now.
I enjoy watching the freestyle skiers--they use the skate technique like you see on the Olympics. They are so graceful.
good morning, 89 to go
Hi Jane.

Done. I will give some clues.

The homestretch with the last 30 or so words was not too tough. And, of course, Lickety's List is the key to a timely finish.

Alright, I need breakfast. Enjoy the day, all.

*Laughing at the Nef boned thing*
*ties fingers*
Okay. Now I'm done.

Your restraint is admirable, ruru.
restraint or restraints ?
We can talk later, if you're "tied up" right now.
:D
we can have a brand spankin new discussion
Most of us come here to bond. Ruru comes for the bondage.
ROFL
just tie a little ruru to the old oak tree and ...
*hands ruru a leaf to hide his acorns*
Enough of this sillyness! I must be off to do some real work. Must justify existence before weekend. *POOF*

A relative of Mr Angry, perhaps?
This is astounding. Apparently when you play Candy Crush Saga, you can purchase a "sweet set of lives" on iTunes for 99 cents which will extend your "life" in the game. That download is making the owner A MILLION DOLLARS A DAY.
Aha! Thank you Smithy. :-)
You are welcome. :)
I must admit, though, after seeing your clue, Smithy, I searched the grid for 'Jose'!
LOL, Soodle.
I almost always forget the military a4/8.
Yes! I always thought that was an acronym!
Me too.
Fireworks. Any clues needed before I go?
Hello babbleworld! WooT WooT WooT smithchick...LOL...I'll take 118 clues plz...jk
Hello, Jilly. Thanks! Do you want me to start with 4 letter word?
LOL...sure *wink*. Small grid and little points *sigh*
I like the great big grids myself.
Okay. I'm out of here. Everybody have a nice day/evening.
I like it about 250-300 or at least with more high point tiles!

*poof*
Aw! Sorry I ossed Zooz. Am dipping in & out of babble this evening.
crazy grid. However if Minveryork writes a story, she can have a pair of low voiced singers performing a piece of music that I thought was only for piano--but perhaps for voice.
Human lasagna and Bich is a Bishop. Okay now, everyone turn off your auto correct.
odd what foreign words enable allows. My singers cannot be soto voce.
I think its sotte voce
And I think it is sotto voce. Any more guesses?
you're right--I never was a singer so my music didn't say that--but I did sing al** in some choirs.
eden
sorry
I'm Irish. When I sing, I sing from the heart. I don t worry about sotto or soto. I warble from the heart. A
It is sotto voce and I'm delighted that soodle is Irish. :)
Wish I could turn off auto correct. Sotto c
Poor Dawg
Sotto voce, soft voice.
Favorite saying: the Irish never let facts ruin a good story. :)
Dawg, actually means under the voice and can refer to a loud whisper.
my dad says that throughout my books--and I tell all my sti udents.
Hi Guys. :-) I guess y'all have heard! Riverdance is coming to Irelamd in May! An Irish Babble meet!! I'm beside myself in anticipation. :-)
Nothing should ruin a good story, right?
so they practice that, too (ignore the facts that spoil)--my dad was Irish so that makes me, too. Irish last name.
I wish i could come too Soodle.
River is SOOO excited!
Soodle, that sounds wonderful.
Oh Hego, I also wish you could be there.
I have a free cottage on the coast s of Dublin any time I want it--keys are hung on my kitchen v bulletin bvoard. Need someone to go with me.
tyvm R.B I received your booklet:)))
Heck, RB, just hop on a plane and go. It's only 5 hours and a cab ride!
I would love to visit Ireland and all the areas around there.
Helloooooo!!! Roundbarn!!!! You have friends here! ( well, friend.... Me!!!
I hope you enjoy, Crossie. Daughter 3 2 says we should put all the Liberties on the web site, lable them Beloit City Press, and sell them for ? Not much, any way.
Jeepers! How many times do I have to say this...... Any Babblers who wish to visit Ireland, let me know. I can facilitate your trip. I'm only dying for a Babble meet up!
If I get there Soodle I'll come see you--you're one I watch--I've liked your profile and remarks--the owner of the cottage was my colleague for 17 years, in Illinois, but born in Dublin, and bought the cottage with some money she inherited. I took 4 trips to Ireland to set up a class, then got euchered out of it by a devious colleague. Long story, painful.
i am sure i will enjoy it. As for setting up a web site and selling your librerty booklets,why not? you never know till you try. Places like freewbs.com give you 8 free pages to work with.

Were round barns made for round cows?
they are very interesting, actually.
indeed, the square cows were unhappy in it as they could not go lay in the corner
Built for easy cow access.
lol Crossy
our oldest Mennonite round barns were originally painted white and not red. they are quite scarce now however:((
Still waiting for Mr & Mrs Crosshair to make their Irish debut!
Soodles,we had it all organized and the flit hit the shan at the last moment:((
they are more violin shaped viewed from the top. Crossie, I have 3 websites! Megan (daughter 2, my webmaster of 2 of them) says we should put all my books on, including the Libertys, not just the farm ones. She's going to work on that. BUT I am taking your info--I have a writing group every week and they will want to know!
Thank you Roundbarn :-)
I saw one in the Bershires, I think.
and not always round per se, but often octagonal in shape
NY state
George Washington designed and built a sixteen-sided threshing barn at his Dogue Run Farm in Fairfax County, Virginia in 1793. It is considered the first American round barn.
I think it was a Shaker barn.
ours was white, always--till the city sneaked out and tore it down, last year. I have been in the Shaker barn. Was actually kissed in that barn, sorta unforgettable.
and the placement of the barns on a slight rise is always interesting and the front and back sliding doors always face the prevailing winds. I was told once this was handy at wheat harvest time is hand separating the wheat from the chaff. Just open both doors, let the wind whistle through and toss the wheat up in the air and let the chaff sail out the door!
very romantic.
that's a good piece of histpory, crossie, I will save it. But now I've got to get to work, quit enjoying you all, so poink.
I have been out behind quite a few barns ... and cannot say the ambiance brought romance to mind.
cows cannot tell. Poink
ahh nothing like laying out back on the sunny side of a barn reading a young lady poetry)
cows cannot tell what?
they can't tell on you.
Assuming saintly air.... 'I have never, ever been behind an american barn!' I'm clearly a much better person than most Babblers!
cows keep secrets well.
ah, i see...
notice she is not saying anything about barns elsewhere.
my editor said you don't have enouh sex in the book--so I added a chapter called kissing--it involves barns
i notice how you quantify "American" what about out back of those fine irish byres?
TO, read back, they were talking about a shaker barn.
love shaker design
mm,who the makers of a particular barn were never came to my mind when reciting prose to a young lady
I was never kissed in a byre--worse luck.
How now [round] cow?
"mm.nice barn eh? Looks like peg and post to me"...errr nice weather eh" "gee your hair smells nice"...ummm...
send me your bsarrn poems and I'll print them all---but right now I gotta go shop, we're reading the Inheritors so tomorrows meal has to be paleo. I'm bringing the grubs.
that's how they get those mini baby bell cheese rounds o-o
and of course carnation milk is from contented cows
Oh my! Barns were a pretty major factor in my growing up. But, beyond saying that, my lips are sealed.
as are mine. I asked my sisters for their stories of sex on the farm and they laughed and shook their heads. So I deal most with animal sex--lots if artificial insem. in the two final volumes--ibcluding compaining by the bulls.
Being contented is truly an accomplishment ... since cows have a lot to stomach.
complainig, not campaigning. They weren't that organized.
off to the store. Neadnerthals ate honey. Nuts and berries. eggs. I can figure something. The Inheritors by Golding--his favorite of his books. Definite poink. (Crossie, should I make up my own word?)
Patchwork quilt of a metal roof, with a hip-shot lean to the left. Boards, weathered, to a storm cloud grey, with remnants of red in the cracks. Generations, hub of the farm. If only the old barn could talk. From its birth, in a barn raising, lumber from a family saw mill. Mares with foals, town dances and plows. Hay in the loft and moonshine. Sign of the times, acres were sold, but the old red barn is stubborn. It may be swaybacked in its spine, yet, its rugged beauty is ageless. - Pamela swanson
no need. you are more than welcome to use mine anytime you wish
Oh dear oh dear. My behind the barn stories featured boys of my own age. Typical teenage carry on. No animals were harmed during the Soodle teen years!
lol
I just needed to clarify that....
though one cow saw too much and needed therapy:))
You are a bad man, Crossy!
bad to the bone:))
Cosdem, are you here?
Oh, COOOOOOOOOOSDEM...
Did you hear about Allison Sweeney leaving Days of Our Lives?
think i saw cosdem wander by with a martini in on hand not long ago
I'm sorry. You were talking about sex. Forgive me for interrupting.
we were talking about barn construction and the fine art of reading poetry to young ladies
hi kap
No you were not. You were talking about sex.
I heard you. And if ruru were here he'd say he herd you.

That was a contribution from one of my cats.
Scared of the vacuum cleaner
i used to put on QVC when they were demonstrating one. the cats would take one look and run
Hi TO
Name that proper 20th century poet
wh auden

i just finished. time to o return phone calls, a rare friday night in. public transit was brutal, things jept freezing.
fone
sorry.
not a word.
yes at least type in real words :P
and happy babbling, see all tomorrow
hi, help with be6 pls
be + what a wolf may do at the moon
FW and hagn everyone
good evening, all. Back from day one of my Hospice Volunteer training.
how did it go phan?
ty bichon
words that start with be are as dumb as words that start with non
It was good. Long but good.
ok, how long is the training?
8-4ish. Lots of topics covered.
how many more days of training?
oh, one more day. Tomorrow.
ok
tomorrow we find out about our "job" Today was all about information on "how" we do it.
There was a topic on Communication, Spirituallity, there were topics about the different services they provide.
sounds interesting.
It was!
when I worked in a hospital the only problem I had with hospice was that doctors took too long to refer patients to hospice.
Yes, I think I saw some of that when I was working on the Oncology unit too.
it was a shame because the patients and families would have benefited greatly from the experience.
they were talking today, how they really prefer to get the patient earlier in the process...
indeed
some doctors need to be eduction re the referral process
yes. Some Docs likely have a misconception as to what Hospice really is.
just like the general population
yep, I keep typing my responses in the add a word box :)
that's not very helpful, Peri. ;^]
I know
lol
People I know often view a hospice referral as their treater's capitulation ... a death sentence.
very true o-o
even so, Hospice is more and more prevalent. I mean it wasn't that long ago that insurances and Medicare didn't cover Hospice.
we just need to get the public more educated.
1/2 way!
go phan
11 left, bbs
see you, Peri
Many have not prepared wills, powers of attorney (including for health care) or dying declarations ...talking to loved ones is critical too. To be effective , the documents need to be available to the treaters. As far as education, the treater must be knowledgeable about the law and make a record that the illness is terminable. Thinking about all these things for the first time right before decisions need to be made is most unfortunate.
Agreed, o-o
palative care here is a key part in the oncology process for those who have decided that quality of life must take precedence over aggressive heavy handed treatments when all else has failed.several of my friends have been blessed with the skilled and compassionate people in palative services and they made their last year or months as comfortable as possible. takes a special group of medical professionals to do this i am sure:)
Hello all...back again to hopefully finish....very interesting chat!
It really does, Crossy
Hi, Jilly
But as far as health care choices, the US will never address needs until we recognize same sex partnerships!
<------killed chog
I suppose you are right.
well.. some states have their s together and allow marriage now.. so there's been a huge step forward.
Oh yes, progress started and hopefully will continue, but so far, NOT in my state...hell, we just this year decriminalized sodomy!
I think the biggest hurdle to palliative care is fear and ignorance. As far as I can tell, implementation of the tools currently available and communication with family and treaters makes a huge, positive difference.
I agree o-o.
I do to 00
old news here. We let people in love marry who they wish.
that would be a little rough in Montana prisons jilly
"what are you in for ?" other prisoner: er.. ah.. well. you see. I ah er..
Unfortunatly, from my years in Hospice, primary care givers are very hesitant to recommend palliative care. Even our obituaries show it..."so and so died after a valliant battle with cancer" that usually makes me cringe...
too..on the previous comment.. I hate auto Correct
True dat crossy!
I always told my patients to ask the question, when seeking treatment, "what will this do for me versus what will it do to me?"
LOL ruru
In other words, what is an extra 6 months of life IF you are sick, nauseated and weakened.
If the person is capable of making decisions, those decisions need to be honored.
most definitely!
THat usually is done, the problem being when someone is NOT capable--whom is selected to make those decisions. I made both my sons get advanced directives once they turned 18.
hi all! Cheerful discussion we're having, I see...
LOL...good soapbox topic!
Most states have laws aside from directives that establish priorites
Legitimate question: At least once a day (if not more) I see people here say "I hate auto correct". Why not just turn it off?
can you turn that off?
and done!
yay phand!
WooT WooT WooT phand!!
<--------!!FW!!
yay jill!
Way to go, Jilly!
Good morning all :)
top of the morning to you, Liz!
hi liz!
Answer to Molly : At times I love auto correct - really useful if I'm writing at speed but definitely not in chat! Could turn it off but then I'd want to turn it on again. So, answer, leave it on and don't moan. Apologise when it turns smores to smokes!!!!
Hello lizlin!
Yes, phan. Can turn auto correct off in "settings"
does auto correct work on fishtails?
Fishtails - lovely restaurant in Warrnambool (Vic. Aus) - morning o-o
well, must head off to finish dinner..*poof*
if a vehicle fishtails, its back end moves from side to side in an uncontrolled way
Bon appétit, Jilly.
cya, Jj
fireworks!
Saw that in the pouring rain, yesterday, o-o. Lucky but stupid, speeding guy!
Congrats sue :)
Whoo hooo jilly and uu
Congrats, Jilly too - sorry, missed that.
If I could turn auto correct off I would. Can't on my kindle. Hi Liz!
That surprises me, lbd. I know I could on my iPad or computer - so that's what I was judging by.
if a car hydroplanes, it slides on a wet road so that you cannot control it
True - this guy flew round a corner and the back end flew from side to side - just as you described.
I had that happen going down a steep hill on I-80 in Pennsylvania once, o-o, it was very scary. Fortunately I went onto the rumble strips on the shoulder and was able to get control of the car before we went sailing off into the beyond.
This guy was just driving too fast for the conditions! Wanted to beat the lights!
I've been digging through settings and any other possible place and no luck. Auto correct appears to be well hidden. :(
Have you tried googling how to do that, lbd?
http://tinyurl.com/d3v3hto this might help, lbd
Haven't actually read it but hope it'll be useful.
well, I think I will go and attempt to plan my Hawaii trip...
Sounds exciting. Enjoy!
ooh, sounds like fun, phand!
Could I get a clue for be6, please?
it is to celebrate me turning 50 and 25 years of marriage to my husband
be 6 - be + wolf's cry
be + what a wolf does...
VEry, very exciting.
And congrats!
:) Thank you.
have a good day/night all.
You too.
Wonderful, Phan. Congratulations
lbd - you need to turn off quick fixes in your settings.
Thanks Liz, I'll check it out now.
Thanks Liz got it
yw - to both.
