1:40 am

sorry Liz, went to let dog out---sister is fine and its monday-lol----how are things with you?

1:40 am

All's fine here - still haven't got the car back though :(

1:41 am

Still hot and humid - threatening to storm but it won't happen!

1:41 am

did it cool off any for you

1:41 am

How about you? Did your "heatwave" continue?

1:42 am

no, we got a wintermix coming in sometime today and after this we are suppose to start warming up

1:43 am

Hope it warms up soon for you - strange weather in many places this year.

1:43 am

I know, its all over the world it seems

1:44 am

Not liking this grid:(

1:45 am

unless they change things its suppose to rain a few days this week, So we just might get rid of this snow

1:45 am

That would be good!

1:45 am

yes it would-----maybe after your storm it will cool down for you

1:46 am

I've got to go - very early dinner as hubby's going out this evening! So I might be back later :)

1:46 am

okay Liz, enjoy

1:46 am

I'm sure someone else will be along soon.

1:59 am

<---comes along.... howdy! :)

2:00 am

LOL--Hi rbud

2:00 am

Morning rubdown, puglet

2:00 am

morning Anita

2:01 am

From

2:02 am

and cooee fr4 down under. {{hugs}} miz pugs. anita, lovely to see you, hun

2:02 am

Hi rose

2:02 am

g'day rbud

2:02 am

hugs and Hi and congrats Rose

2:03 am

thanx dearest pugs.

2:03 am

how did it go today, Rose

2:04 am

ouchies, pugs. but i still got on the bike this afternoon. start hydro next friday.

2:05 am

I thought you had phy. today

2:06 am

and would you believe, workcover insurers have to approve my even having a check x-ray post-op. for goodness sake!! yes, hun, which is why i said 'ouchies'.

2:07 am

nothing surprises me Rose---how bad was the ouchies?

2:08 am

can you do rotations now on the bike

2:08 am

well he rubbed along my right shin where i have several nodes from the fibromyalgia. and also the lower calf, and ankle. all my muscles were tight.

2:09 am

oh, yes, pugs, the first one is the hardest, then i can go like heck...lol

2:10 am

the water classes friday might help some of that---its too bad you cant get a hot tub--I think that would help you alot

2:10 am

and i have increased the tension today, too. hopefully will do so again in 2 days.

2:10 am

well thats progress Rose and good for you

2:11 am

oh, dearest, i can get a hot tub, just need to make somewhere for it to be put.

2:11 am

just be carefull Mrs Superwoman not to go overboard--lol

2:12 am

yes, dear. i will wear my life-jacket at all times...that way i will float to the top at all times....lol

2:13 am

I was more refering to the bike and the increase of tension---but thats good at the pool too

2:14 am

is the water class the only thing left for this week or do you have to have another phy session

2:16 am

counseling the same day as starting hydro. have to be in the pool by 7:30 am, and counseling is at 10am.

2:16 am

thats kind of pushing it, isnt it? You will be worn out friday

2:17 am

oh, and that independent medical appointment which workcover want me to go to? it's not until april. i'm tipping i will already be back at work, on very reduced hours, by then.

2:18 am

pugs, dear, once the appointments are done, i have the whole day to rest. and i promise to do so.

2:18 am

you think so? You just started exercising

2:19 am

those water workouts drains you

2:20 am

well it's still february, and i am now 2 months post-op. mid-april i will be 4 1/2 months post-op. i think i can start back at work at the beginning of april.

2:21 am

I wish you luck then....I know you wish to be back to a more normal life

2:22 am

by the time i see the doctor in april, i, hopefully will be on 6 hour shifts. if i can't do it, i certainly am not going to do it. remember i have to be off the strong pain meds. in order to look after patients.

2:24 am

I wouldnt rush it either and make sure to buy slip proof shoes--lol

2:25 am

pugs, i have those shoes i bought just before surgery....oh, oh, yeah...well i think environmental services will be pretty strict on displaying their signage when washing floors.

2:27 am

good, then you should be all set as soon as your body says so

2:28 am

my friend, I told you about, fell outside of the hospital going to visit someone and she just had the same surgery as you three days ago

2:31 am

good morning

2:31 am

Hugs and Hi Ruby

2:32 am

hi Ruby. LTNS

2:32 am

Hi Diz, hows your hubby

2:32 am

awww poor woman. please tell her i hope she recovers well. {{ruby }} xoxox my friend

2:33 am

diz, how's DH? and hello

2:33 am

ig hugs for all 3 friends

2:34 am

I didn't know about your husband, diz. I hope he is better

2:34 am

and brave Rosie!!!! what can I say? You are a tough cookie!

2:34 am

and that ws a big hug, pugs

2:34 am

hey Pugs, heaps better, just wish that when he has these friggin pains and is rushed to hospital, they would keep him in and do the angiogram that he is booked in for.

2:35 am

yeah, understand what you are saying, diz. but sometimes the facilities are already booked..

2:35 am

how much more does he have to wait

2:36 am

4/6 weeks

2:36 am

my husband had an angiooasty after hs heart attack and has been fine for a couple of years, since, and a stent was put in at the same time

2:36 am

I realise that, Rose, but it is soooo frustrating

2:36 am

egad, diz...that's too long, dear. do you not have any private insurance?

2:37 am

thatss quite away off---that makes it stressful for you---Hope things goes well for you guys

2:37 am

aaah, husband isbck

2:37 am

diz, how many attacks has he had now?

2:37 am

nah Rose, we are both on DSP

2:38 am

poor ruby....

2:38 am

he got the flu, Ruby

2:39 am

major one on 19th last month, one little one 2 weeks later and what I think was a biggie on Fri night.....he used his andina spray a 12 midnight and then again at 4 am and I rang the ambos

2:40 am

andina =anGina

2:41 am

I think they should go ahead and run the test needed too---He might have a small blockage

2:41 am

okay, next time, he needs to say he used his spray every 5 minutes x 3 and the pain didn't subside. that way the hospital will have to act quickly to find out why chest pain was unrelieved with spray.

2:41 am

play the system, diz.

2:42 am

thnx Grannyrose.

2:42 am

np's diz....hope DH will go along with it.

2:43 am

I just now notice that you two are from aussie--are you guys close

2:43 am

I wish you well also Diz

2:43 am

thing is DH has high BP and the spray takes it down really low

2:43 am

wish i was, pugs. would be there in a shot to help diz...

2:43 am

Pugs, different states

2:44 am

I know you cant help worring Diz, but I hope you remember to take care of yourself too

2:47 am

brb

2:52 am

pugs.....me has definitely had 'time out'....dtr made sure of that. I was that bad I wasn't sleeping/eating etc.....but dtr has me back on track....thnk gawd. xoxo

2:56 am

3:08 am

3:08 am

night, hugs and bye Rose

3:12 am

friton, frits

3:13 am

welcome back Flosey

3:22 am

Flosey..is so creative with F words...:D

3:23 am

Hi Ruru

3:24 am

Hi pugs

3:27 am

OK back to bed

3:28 am

night Ru

3:29 am

phew!

3:29 am

phew!

3:30 am

pugs, still there?

3:30 am

hi ruru and flosey

3:30 am

still here Ruby

3:31 am

are you done Ruby

3:32 am

I realized when the vet came the other night, that Raffie had become too timid from being walked by husband much too early. So now I am walking her while he walks Rufiem trying to socialize her a little and make her less afraid and more obedient.

3:32 am

It's probably good for me, too, but she's a lot of dog for me to handle.

3:33 am

does she pull hard Ruby

3:33 am

Today was the 3rd time and she was much better behaved

3:33 am

no, but she gets panicky when a car comes. Today she was much calmer and didn't p ull at all

3:33 am

thats good, She just needs the right person handling her

3:34 am

I used to walk Rufie when he was a puppy, but after B's daughter came and ran with him, I could no longer do it as he weighs about 80 lbs now and I can't run

3:35 am

what about skates? lol

3:35 am

I am very afraid of falling

3:36 am

too bad you cant get them trained to pull you in a small cart

3:36 am

I've thought of that; they're certainly strong enough!

3:37 am

yes they are---and Iam sure you all would enjoy the outings

3:37 am

unfortunately, there'd be a lot of stop and sniff going on

3:39 am

I had a friend that had a (not sure of spelling) notherland that pulled her in a small pony cart

3:40 am

it was like a saint bernard but all black

3:40 am

that would be so cute! Unfortunately, our little road is narrow and when a car comes, we have to get against a wall to let it pass

3:41 am

that would be scarey--I can see why your pup would be frighten too--but sounds like shes coming right along

3:42 am

B doesn't want to break their spirits by training them at all, but I think it's for their own safety. And to have both dogs unapproachable by the vet is just unacceptable

3:42 am

and I bet they dont slow down too much either, do they

3:43 am

you might call it a brisk wal....

3:44 am

I agree with you--you wouldnt raise a child without rules and so on

3:45 am

if Burt wants a wild dog he needs a wolf or a dingo--lol

3:45 am

clearly, chows are more like cats than many other dogs, but they still need to have certain limits. I also think that timid dogs are more likely to bite (tho none of ours ever has)

3:45 am

they do Ruby--not really from being mean but more because of being frighten

3:46 am

B doesn't get that; he's afraid the dogs won't love him if he says "no"

3:47 am

thats silly---dogs love their leaders, thats how God made them

3:48 am

there's no arguing with him; he's an "expert" on everything

3:48 am

Burt needs to watch the dog whisperer

3:49 am

he's too deaf lol

3:50 am

I owned a deaf dog(white boxer) and he learned by hand signals, he was very smart

3:50 am

that's interesting; I've heard that white cats are frequently deaf

3:51 am

well at least they have you Ruby----dont your tv have closed caption--that puts the words on the screen

3:51 am

Rufie responds to hand signals when he is outside and \i'm inside. If I motion "come in", he knows it's time to eat

3:51 am

they don't run that program here and he wouldn't pay attention, anyway

3:52 am

seems like your dogs are easy taught and learn quickly

3:53 am

I guess you will just have to be the leader of the whole pack, including Burt--lol

3:53 am

I don't think chows are the smartest....lol But Raffie seems to be the smartest one so far

3:54 am

maybe not Ruby, but all dogs can learn simple basic comands, might just take more time

3:55 am

they're very cat-like, VERY BIG CATS

3:55 am

probably would need a whip and a chair hahah

3:56 am

chows were bred to be more aloof and more selfcontrol--but that dont mean they are not smart

3:56 am

but I wouldn't trade a chow for anything

3:56 am

are you talking about the chows or burt--lol

3:57 am

and, for me, they are the most beautiful, but of course, that's a personal preference

3:57 am

I'd trade B for any kind of dog don't tell him

3:57 am

we all love our dogs

3:58 am

now Ruby, hes your man

3:58 am

I keep hoping afro will be accepted. I always try it

3:58 am

Burt cant help what has happen to him--its just sad

3:58 am

for better or worse, right, or even much worse!

3:59 am

sometimes it is like that, Ruby but we cant let it get us down

4:00 am

you got to fight through it and take care of yourself too

4:00 am

I'm doding better and feel very lucky with our weather when you see what's happening every place else

4:00 am

things still going good with your son

4:00 am

it isn't even very cold here

4:01 am

son is fine and friendly, just too busy with his difficult jon

4:01 am

thats good Ruby---yes this weather has been something this winter

4:01 am

he doesn't agree with my decisions, but he is even OK with that

4:02 am

have you seen all the flooding and insane waves in Europe?

4:02 am

all of our snow will probably come in March

4:02 am

that good on him---you have to do what feels right for you

4:03 am

I did last night on the world news---its not near you is it

4:03 am

No, it's very far, like Indiana to NY lol

4:04 am

and we're on a mountain hillside

4:04 am

well thats good! Real good for you

4:05 am

this was a lucky choice of locations

4:06 am

it seems so...do you have to worry about snow coming off of the mountain

4:08 am

no, just snow off the roof when it finally comes. We see the mountains, but they are fairly distant and there are cliffs and a field in between

4:09 am

sounds like you are sitting right in a safty zone

4:10 am

Do you have googleEarth?

4:10 am

no

4:10 am

you could look up Lake Annecy and Veyrier du Lac to see the topography.

4:11 am

you can upload it free

4:11 am

but I should be able to get it

4:11 am

okay

4:11 am

somebody did it for me, but I think it's easy. www.googlearth.com or something

4:11 am

I am very poor at computers, as you know

4:12 am

must go and make lunch

4:12 am

lovely chat, pugs!!! xx

4:12 am

bye Ruby and thanks

4:24 am

5:11 am

Hello, o-o :-)

5:11 am

5:13 am

Sorry babble froze so went to do some puzzles..lol

5:14 am

I worked 2 of your puzzles Zoom

5:14 am

Oh yes thank you for your comment :-)

5:14 am

I noticed you do not have any puzzles :-(

5:15 am

I put some smaller ones on there so it does not take so long to do them..lol

5:15 am

I dont know how to make them for one and I dont have a camera either

5:17 am

Hi all

5:17 am

5:17 am

welcome back Liz

5:17 am

Hello, Liz :-)

5:17 am

Puzzles on jigidi, zooz?

5:18 am

I will give it a try, Thanks Zoom

5:18 am

yes, Liz..i have about 6 or 7 on there now :-)

5:18 am

What name do you use?

5:19 am

zoomzoom

5:19 am

I take it you are on there too?

5:19 am

I'll look later, when I'm not on my iPad.

5:19 am

96 TEARS--- ? and The MYSTERIANS !

5:20 am

Yes. I've got about 10 puzzles but some are repeats using different sizes.

5:20 am

Hi o- o

5:21 am

I will check your out later and give some a try :-)

5:22 am

:)

5:22 am

Nice tune o-o..although just saw a youtube video..and not keen on the dress sense..lol

5:22 am

OO, do you have puzzles on there too

5:23 am

I did a 500 piece puzzle yesterday...geez that took me over two hours to complete..lol

5:24 am

Nice puzzles zooz. Have bookmarked a few but I usually prefer them larger.

5:24 am

I think they should have a button for putting the edges together for you on the biggies--lol

5:25 am

I just shrink the pieces down so I've got more room to sort the edges.

5:25 am

Yes sorry about that, Liz, i will put some larger ones on there over time..lol

5:25 am

I'll keep checking.

5:26 am

When you leave the puzzles say half done..does it save it for you to complete anoter day or later in the day?

5:27 am

Crossys puzzles are fun but evil!

5:27 am

another*

5:27 am

yes Zoom

5:27 am

Yes it gives you the option to continue when you reload the puzzle.

5:27 am

Oh good that is good to know.

5:28 am

You know you can also change the background colour too. Useful if there are white pieces.

5:28 am

Oh right...do you right click or is there a button?

5:28 am

I like that too because when one gets to you then you can go to another for a break

5:29 am

When you hit pause there are colour swatches and you choose from them.

5:30 am

Oh right yes ..i wondered what that was..lol....just thought it was part and parcel of the design.

5:30 am

:)

5:31 am

What is your monika on jigidi, Liz?

5:31 am

I just click on things to see what happens! Like a kid! Perhaps it's the teacher in me?

5:31 am

Same as here, zooz.

5:31 am

Excellent..that is easy to remember then..lol

5:32 am

That was the point. Quite a few babblers have puzzles there.

5:33 am

Cool..will put random babbler names in and see what happens..lol

5:34 am

Has it cooled down yet, Liz, or are you still in a heatwave?

5:35 am

Jbp, uusue, sprite (spritelet), Crossy (crosshair) are the ones I remember offhand.

5:35 am

Still very hot and humid here but no storms or fires!

5:35 am

jillibus and mimicat too, I think

5:36 am

Thank-you...have written them down.

5:36 am

25C now and it's 9.30 pm!

5:36 am

Yes, thanks pugs.

5:36 am

Oh wow you were not wrong when you said lots of babblers are on there..lol

5:36 am

Wow that is hot!

5:37 am

It's not too usual to have these hot temps at night here.

5:38 am

Maybe 10 nights in the year.

5:38 am

No i am sure you would not want the too often either.

5:38 am

them*

5:38 am

Definitely not.

5:42 am

Oh haha just found jungle man in the grid..lol

6:23 am

{{annie}} the only thing I accomplished today was readying a "bobby envelope"

6:24 am

guess what I did yesterday. I fell walking on ice and now I ache all over. Have a bump on my head and my lower back hurts. But my family came over and we had a great time

oh, annie.

6:24 am

(((((ruby))))Bobby will look forward to it.

6:24 am

holy breads

6:24 am

ouch Annie

6:24 am

now if we could only get you an Olympic medal, you could be like one of those skaters!

6:25 am

Yes, oh annie. I have an appointment in Bobby's workshop Wednesday, hope I can make it.

6:25 am

falling on ice is awful!

6:26 am

I went straight up in the air and came down hard. Thank God I didnt break anything.

6:26 am

very lucky

6:27 am

ruby, yes I feel very lucky even thought everything hurts.

6:27 am

plural of: A piece of ordinary leavened bread from the remnants of the loaves used for the Eucharist. It is blessed, but not consecrated, and distributed in churches that use the Byzantine Rite.

6:27 am

minus last T

6:28 am

take it easy if you can Annie - some nice heat packs

6:29 am

lynxxxx, yes, I will use heating pad later and Tylenol. I think I will stay in today. Maybe some laundry.

6:29 am

o-o. I read your profile message. Hm.

6:29 am

o-o and hello

annie, move a bit so you dont stiffen up. gently

6:30 am

Owl, I will. thanks. When I get up it hurts like hell

just gently. did you put ice on it first?

6:31 am

time to lie down and read the NYT. {{gentle hug for Annie}}

6:32 am

bye ruby.

6:32 am

bye everybody

6:32 am

Yes, I did Owl.

ruby, did you see the times puzzle on thebeatles? so much fun

6:32 am

tc ((ruby))

sorry.

6:33 am

why, sorry? Owl

6:33 am

I bought a desk diary for this year - each week a Sunday NYT crossword in it. I'm hopeless - I think being American would help a lot

6:34 am

what fun, lynxxx

6:34 am

going for a cup of coffee

6:43 am

Hello, all! Popping in for just a few minutes before starting work. How is everyone today?

6:43 am

hi Mimi - good morning

6:44 am

Hi Mimi

6:44 am

So good to see you here today!

6:44 am

Annie, healing blessings to your back. Our back muscles do a lot for us and we find out just how much when we have an injury.

6:45 am

thanks, Molly for your kind words

6:46 am

So true, Molly. I've had two back surgeries and was miserable for years even after the surgeries. My good thoughts to you as well, Annie.

6:46 am

thanks to you too, Mimi

6:48 am

It's unfortunate that most of us don't realize we're hurting our backs until the damage is already done. We need more education on back care and preventing problems, I think.

6:51 am

You are so right about that Mimi.

6:54 am

My back problems started with pregnancy...I carried totally out front all three times. No one mentioned I should wear a pregnancy girdle for support. So I've now told everyone I know who gets pregnant about that. Maybe they can prevent it with that information. When the back hurts, one cannot help being miserable.

6:57 am

That is one of the reasons that childbirth classes are helpful. Any excess abdominal weight is going to put strain on the lower back. There are exercises you can do to help with that.

6:57 am

Night all

6:58 am

sweet dreams, lynxxx

6:58 am

I went to the classes, Molly, but no one stressed the importance of caring for my back...must not have been the best choice of classes.

6:58 am

Be well, Lyn

6:58 am

Night, lynxxx...see you later, I hope.

6:59 am

((mimi))

7:00 am

((crossy)) Have you seen my puzzles yet? There are two wolf ones for you in TheJigsawPuzzles.com.

7:01 am

Mimi, I did a couple of your puzzles and enjoyed them

7:02 am

ty, mimi. I will get there, I promise. crossy is spread a little thin of late. most likely this afternoon

7:02 am

Thanks, Annie. I added a couple of new ones over the weekend.

7:02 am

will take a look later

7:03 am

I know you have a lot on your plate these days, crossy. They are there for you whenever you get a chance to relax...you know my puzzles don't take a lot of time!

7:04 am

Annie, this icon I'm using is also in puzzle form on TheJigsawPuzzles site.

7:04 am

okay, thanks

7:05 am

Must get started on work. Annie, I do hope your back gets better...will hold a good thought for you. Have a good day, everyone, and hugs all around.

7:07 am

Mimi, I really appreciate that. Have an easy day.

7:22 am

7:30 am

7:31 am

ty, wolvie for the da6/7, and gm, everyone

7:31 am

TO, do a Google search on "restore volume control icon". You will find the directions on how to do that.

7:31 am

thanks, wolvie

7:31 am

hi dawg :)

7:32 am

hiya dawg and all- and yw annie

an up date jus tinstalled and it is gone. went to control panel to look for sounds and audio devices but it is not there.

7:32 am

and dawg lol- i am still having my coffee

i tried,mollly. the icon is not in the control panel.

7:33 am

asking a foolish question here maybe- but did you do a restart TO?? sometimes that helps

7:33 am

I don't know, maybe try a System Restore?

7:39 am

did a google on this :missing volume control after windows update and found lots of hits- sounds like a common problem

7:39 am

Last two - an 8/45 and sa 9/54 clues please

7:39 am

back to the grid - good luck TO :-)

updates just installed and the pc restarted. found a tutorial but cannot follow it. the boxex i need to check are grayed out.

7:40 am

7:40 am

hi wolvie

7:41 am

ty wolvie for the an 8

7:41 am

turning off chat for a bit- back later :-)

7:42 am

be back later

7:43 am

Try right clicking the task bar, going to PROPERTIES then click on the NOTIFICATION AREA. The VOLUME box should be checked.

i did that but it will not allow that box to be checked.

*headdesk*

so right now i have no way to mute or coltrol volume that i can find

7:49 am

I would do a System Restore. Something went south with your update.

any idea how far that takes me back?

7:51 am

As far back as you ask it to. You set the date.

ty. i think i will log off for a while, before i hurt this machine.

7:54 am

do

8:01 am

This is a complicated tutorial, but if you take it slow and do everything he says, I think it will fix your problem. http://tinyurl.com/avx58sy

8:10 am

nice icon molly

8:13 am

whoops guess everyone is gone

8:13 am

need a break, bbl to find last 36.

8:14 am

or leaving

8:21 am

name that converted-for-trademark noun! loop cereal

8:24 am

hello hurshy

8:24 am

hello

8:24 am

i guess this is peanuts day?

8:25 am

just took down my snoopy valentines day ico

8:25 am

oh

8:30 am

froot!

8:31 am

ding ding ding!

8:32 am

Hi Hurshy. Are you off today?

8:32 am

no

8:32 am

Me either. I am waiting for my next kid to show up.

8:33 am

is it a particular kid or just like a clinic

8:36 am

I am at the Indian Reservation Clinic

8:36 am

I have a schedule of appts.

8:36 am

hi all. any clues for the 10?

8:37 am

do you know ahead of time what's wrong with them? like, this kid has a cough, or etc?

8:37 am

not got that far yet mkg

8:40 am

Yes, hurshy, some are here for "well child visits", others for follow-ups, others for acute problems.

8:40 am

I have one 7 and nothing bigger

8:41 am

were you here the time i told about how i diagnosed a kid?!

8:42 am

SE 10 - member of congress (SE 7) + ending

8:42 am

the 10 builds on a 7

8:43 am

done

8:44 am

oops

8:44 am

haha grant throught you had finished

8:44 am

are you finished - or just in PB?

8:44 am

*Waits to hear the Dr. Hurshy story*

8:45 am

i was in the pharmacy and this kid was crying and there was just something about the WAY he was crying and i asked the dad as i was leaving, "ear infection?" and he said in amazement, "yes, how did you know?"

8:45 am

the latter, i'm afraid

8:46 am

I think we all have maternal instinct, whether we have kids or not. Maternal instinct can differentiate a "pain cry" from a "whiny cry".

8:46 am

i also diagnosed myself with angular cheilitis this weekend. but i had the web to help me.

8:47 am

i diagnosed myself with being a bi tch

8:47 am

i guess molly - and i've had lots of ear infections and it seems to me there is something even more particular about that pain and that cry

8:48 am

I diagnosed myself with mono. Not difficult though. But the doctors kept trying to give me antibiotics until I finally asked them to do a blood test for mono. Then they called me and told me I had mono. Duh.

8:48 am

Ivesy...hahahahahaha!!

8:48 am

80% of middle ear infections resolve without antibiotics, so we don't use them much for ear infections anymore.

8:49 am

ah i had mono in college. i did not diagnose myself. but it was quite a relief when they did diagnose me and then they gave me something which helped what was happening in my throat.

8:49 am

lol.. i know my self well

8:49 am

Haha, ivsey

My husband can diagnose just about anything, usually before the doctor. But of course he usually can't say anything because his license doesn't allow it (lpn). He also guessed our daughter's birth weight exactly.

8:50 am

Lucky guess, toad

8:51 am

beautiful kids toad

8:53 am

Name that proper noun...one of The Jackson Five.

Thanks. They're fun, most of the time.

8:54 am

Tito

8:55 am

lol.. most kids are. most of the time..

8:56 am

Ding ding!

8:57 am

hi all

8:58 am

And the creator of the Periwinkle Maneuver has arrived.

9:00 am

:-)

9:01 am

name that proper noun! a joseph smith follower

9:02 am

Mormon

9:02 am

ding ding ding!

hello, back for a few

9:06 am

hi TO, did you get your prob sorted?

i just did s system restore. need a new machine

9:09 am

I did some reading on the problem and apparently (as Wolvie mentioned) it is a pretty widespread thing. Some glitch in the updates recognizing certain sound cards.

thank you!

i have a ton of stuff to do but i keep coming back here. having workman in tomorrow and need to clean everywhere since he will be working in the upsatirs.

9:14 am

TO... you're cleaning up in preparation for a workman to mess it up again?

9:15 am

well, it could be different kinds of cleaning. i mean if you have clothes laying around the floor you may not want drywall dust to get on them.

rolin: no mess with this work

and yes, no reason to have a mess around

9:16 am

workman = mess....

9:16 am

we are bracing ourselves for getting a new indoor loo downstairs and a new laundry/utility room along the side of the house

rolin: if any workman makes an unnecessary mess and does not clean it up, he will never again enter my home

9:17 am

nice

9:17 am

Es

that is as stronga criteria as the quality of work

9:17 am

well... the only time my partner and I ever get tense with each other is when we are renovating

9:18 am

but it will be nice when it's DONE

9:20 am

Hello, suzysuz. Were you interrupted?

9:30 am

hello and how is the grid today?

9:33 am

Hello, harpjane. I have not been here long ... but thus far, no one has been asking for clues.

9:37 am

it is amazing how neat (and clean!!!) French workers are

9:37 am

I can remember American plumbers from when I wAS YOUNG, YUCK

9:38 am

OF COURSE, PLUMBERS HERE MAKE MORE MONEY THAN DOCTORS

9:38 am

sorry for cap

9:38 am

there have been days when I would have paid a plumber absolutely ANYTHING!

9:39 am

if I call our plumber at 8AM he is usually here before 8"30

9:40 am

He lives in the next village

9:40 am

9:40 am

9:40 am

hi gwen

9:41 am

how big does it have to be to be a town?

9:41 am

How big does it have to be to qualify as a town?

9:41 am

Hello ruby, Gwen, jane

9:42 am

I've gone to universities with more students than this village

9:42 am

{{bichon}}

9:42 am

we have towns with 200 people or less. it depends on whether it is incorporated, with a mayor etc.

9:42 am

ahah

9:42 am

This village has a "mayoresse"/ How awful is that?

9:42 am

the smallest town I've lived in was 600.

9:43 am

The one I live in now is 4000, and it is the trade center for our area.

9:43 am

I lived in Pullman WA with a population of about 2,000 and a university much larger

9:43 am

yup, know the area well

9:44 am

and your state is in the grid, jane

9:44 am

You know Pullman?

i grew up in a suburb that had a bigger population than the entire state of north dakota

9:45 am

sure, I've been through it once. I stopped at the Whitman mission. At least I think that was Pullman.

9:46 am

We used to picnic on the Snake River

9:46 am

I'm a big Nez Perce history buff

9:46 am

have you been in Coeur d'Alene?

9:47 am

I've been to both the beginning and the end of the Snake. The headwaters is in Yellowstone, and the confluence with the Columbia is in Pasco.

9:47 am

I go to C d'A quite often. There is a harp festival there every other year or so.

9:47 am

I was young, happy and pregnant in those places

9:48 am

I think I'm going to go to Spokane in May to see Wicked.

9:48 am

and being pregs made me able to swim, the only time in my life

9:49 am

I would definitely like a do-over!

9:49 am

We used to do a bike ride called Tour des Lacs. It started in Spokane and went to C d'A around the lake, and then returned to Spokane the next day via Hayden Lake etc.

9:50 am

I think this grid is hard

9:50 am

That was a beautiful place!

9:50 am

I think SMom has been eaten by the red boxes of doom.

2:05 pm

yup i was

2:09 pm

SMom, maybe you had spies living next door. Could have been the next Robert Hanssen.

2:11 pm

Uh oh, have to go. There are federal agents at my door.

2:18 pm

laugh if you will , but i still haven t slept for more than an hour at a time.. still take the phone to the bathroom with me and am thinking of getting a gun

2:20 pm

my sense of security is gone also patience aned love of my fellow man.. the feeling of having police protection is gone .. as i said... hanging naked in the wind

2:23 pm

i understand sammy. My mother lived on the 7th floor of a high rise block. She had a video camera that let her see who was ringing her bell and then let them in if she knew them. One day a young man was seen on the screen waving a hand gun and yelling abuse. My mum was scared witless even tho' the youth was seven floors down and outside the door.

2:24 pm

She was left feeling very vulnerable at the age of 90 and after 30 years in that flat.

2:24 pm

i understand her terror jaxx... you never think of such things happening to you until they do....

2:26 pm

Don't let this incident affect how you relate to your friends and neighbours. They are still the same people. It was strangers who invoked the interest.

2:27 pm

true... and thanks jaxx for the kind words

2:30 pm

You will settle down and life will go on as before. Mum's did and later she related the story to anyone who would listen. It became apocryphal.

2:30 pm

sammy, I got my mother one of those emergency buttons that she wears. That way not matter what happens she can contact an operator immediately.

2:31 pm

It also goes off if she is pushed or falls.

2:31 pm

Good idea.

2:32 pm

Just make sure to get one that works away from her house phone (on a cell signal)

2:32 pm

my son (Little walter) is living with us now and taking care us us, (has been since hubbys heart surgery) little walter is 6.2 and weigs 250 and is very fast and very mean and very protective of us

2:32 pm

hello 183 to go\

2:33 pm

Then what are you worrying about?

2:33 pm

somebody meaner than him i guess

2:34 pm

He sounds very capable of throwing his weight around to me!

2:34 pm

clue for the 10

2:35 pm

yup, and has done its bullets tthat i worry about and we have none...... yet..........

2:36 pm

start with a member of the federal legislator and end with Maid Mar***

2:36 pm

I am not sure that a gun wouldn't provoke shooting that otherwise wouldn't happen. Did they shoot?

2:38 pm

ty bichon great clue

2:39 pm

that is the problem with all those handguns out there. No a bad guy does not need to buy a sketchy dangerous gun on the black market with the numbers filed off. 8 out of 10 homes now have a nice clean arsenal on sight for handy use as needed

2:39 pm

senor

2:40 pm

site

2:40 pm

yw Matches

2:40 pm

2:40 pm

no, but when you see 8 agents with guns drawn battering a door down , it does make you neervous as to what they might have expected

2:40 pm

sorry

2:40 pm

You can tell i'm a Brit. We aren't allowed guns at home without a licence and then you have to have a good reason for having it.

2:40 pm

I understand your fear sammysmom

2:41 pm

Unfortunately in the US it is not like that.

2:41 pm

with your son a nice maple baseball bat would do him better. he could deal out all kinds of damage

2:41 pm

same here jaxx

2:41 pm

ma7?

2:41 pm

its is the same here jaxx, but i wonder if it means too much. i have several friends whl have hunting guns and sport guns,,,, dammm that might be tha answer.. time to throw a dinner for a new old friends

2:42 pm

ma + double consonat + something on your face

2:42 pm

American law officials seem to be very gungho. If you pardon the pun, it seems to be overkill to me. Why eight? One could have done an equally good job.

2:43 pm

It's not only the law officials, people want to have guns, carry them everywhere, like it's the wild west

2:43 pm

hi all, clue pls for the ta6/33 & 7/48

2:44 pm

i think because of the unknown factors... the local police, the county sherrif, the fbi and postal inspectors were all invlved

2:44 pm

nm got it

2:44 pm

I go along with Crossy. They hardly arrived secretively. Anyone in the house would have heard them coming and run away.

2:44 pm

thanks

2:45 pm

Were they there?

2:45 pm

no

2:46 pm

this is a good debate and i'm both sides.i think it's good having licences here, but at the same time it doesn't stop the bad people having them, and they'll shoot whether you have a gun or not, if provoked and on drugs and drink, or just in a gang.my hubbyis 6ft and built like a brick house and because of his size, it doesn't help, because people feel intimidated even though he's a gentle giant, until it comes protecting his family thet is...but braun or guns??

2:46 pm

have not been around so I don't know what happened but it sounds pretty horrible SMom. Glad you are ok

2:46 pm

As I understand it, local officials have to be involved before the higher authorities make their move. Am I right?

2:47 pm

i wouldn't have one, personally

2:47 pm

sorry for sticking my nose in :)

2:48 pm

need sa9 clue

2:48 pm

i don t know

2:49 pm

enough of that for today.. i will keep you good folks in the loop in case of any further developments

2:49 pm

Matches, pl of hospitals in Switzerland

2:51 pm

Relax and don't worry or you will make yourself ill.

2:53 pm

3:07 pm

YW

3:09 pm

great clue erda

3:10 pm

what does that word mean?

3:11 pm

Seems to be a Babble invention

3:11 pm

holy bread or something like that...

3:11 pm

It's apparently a plural of antidoron

3:12 pm

aha

3:12 pm

never heard of that either

3:12 pm

Its in the grid

3:12 pm

...not much into holy breads myself...

3:13 pm

But not in the dictionary apparently

3:15 pm

It's things like that that make me want to slam the door on this game and never come back

3:15 pm

After that non word, singular or plural I am off tu reset my babble eye

3:15 pm

to, even

3:16 pm

YOU don't have to CHallah erda

3:17 pm

3:31 pm

i've probably put my foot in it again!!

3:32 pm

did i miss slmething .. had to leave and help hubby with his treatment

3:33 pm

how is hubby Sammy?

3:33 pm

I am cool with it all. we are all different and have different opinions. I love to see what people in other countries think on a hot topic

3:34 pm

good thanks.. he has trouble opening the vials for his breathing treatments so i set up the nebulizer for him and get a little bitching in at the same time

3:35 pm

if he can get enough wind to bitch at you, the nebulizer is working for him;)) great things they are

3:35 pm

you or him bitching Sammy?

3:36 pm

yup.. on the the kids asked why dont i ease up on him... i am afraid that if i do he wuill think he is dying... have been bitching for 56 years.. i know my job

3:37 pm

us gys need the wimmins to keep us in line:))

3:37 pm

helps to keep his pressure up.. heh heh

3:37 pm

SMom, I was just joking with you earlier. I didn't mean to hit a sore spot. Sorry if I did.

3:37 pm

me lil , and i am sooo good at it

3:37 pm

wife certainly keeps my pressure up:))

3:38 pm

you sound like my mam Sammy.my mam and dad have been married for 50 odd years now

3:38 pm

Aren't we all Sammy :)

3:38 pm

s'ok molly, we're good

3:39 pm

I know someone who is friends with Robert Hanssen's kids, so we joke about him a lot.

3:39 pm

i learned from the best... my nana had a wilkinson sword tongue

3:39 pm

don't knw robert hassen?

3:39 pm

when they are not happy, we are not happy:))

3:40 pm

hansen ?

3:40 pm

Worst spy in the history of spying in the US

3:41 pm

ok.... i must not have been paying attention on that one

3:42 pm

mine too Sammy and was good with a pan!!!

3:42 pm

what i do not understand is why was he not executed for espionage??

3:43 pm

heh heh lil

3:43 pm

<----my mam also learnt it as my dad had a sore head once when he was late home and frightened my mam! :)

3:45 pm

:)

3:45 pm

Hanssen accepted a plea agreement. Also, I don't think there is a death penalty for espionage.

3:46 pm

maybe we are too lenient with traitors

3:47 pm

Well, you could be right. I would guess the feds think they are worth more alive regarding their knowledge of the other side and what they are willing to barter.

3:50 pm

hubby calling /..... later all

Snow evaporates as well as melts with warmer temperatures. Hard to imagine snow still being around in April.

5:11 pm

i have seen it in june...tucked in a brick building corner...

5:11 pm

we have had blizzards often in May....

5:11 pm

Well as far north as you are Pen, that is a different story.

5:12 pm

yes....it's hard to predict....some years our spring starts in early april....other years, we don't have much of a spring at all....

5:12 pm

they say in Maine we have two seasons....winter and the fourth of July.... ;o)

5:13 pm

I ar5/10 early in the morning and put my no4/4 in the grid. I babbled until no4/4 and then I quit grid. I must ad 5/14 that I was a mo 5/12 with grid and had to use the list to find most of my words. Here is a story with to4/4 of clues fr4/8 me to you. For some reason,I feel like I'm do 4/6ed for two more months of winter. This winter has put me into a mo6/21 mo 4/6. Every time I walk out my fr5/16 do 4/5 there is more snow! I think that the amount of coldness and all of the snowstorms have been abno4/5al for NY. I shoveled an en 5/12ous amount of snow last Friday.It was very hard to shovel because it was fi 4/8 and heavy. Now we're getting 5 more inches tonight. It isn't fa 4/7! I refuse to shovel again. I do not give one io 4/4 if I can't get out of the driveway. I am on vacation now. Hubby is driving me insa4/4 because he wants to play Fa4/8ville. If I don't give him the computer,he'll start to mo 4/5 and groan and cause a ri 4/4 and yell at me in a nasty to 4/4. He mo 5/12 every time I babble. He is such a sn4/4! Even though I om4/5ted several words, I hope you've found ma4/5 words with story or at least the easy on4/4. I am going to lift my an 4/5 off this se4/4 and go ra 4/5 the fridge for a snack and go watch the movie "An4/4 and the King" in the bedro4/5. I will be back so 4/4 to clue some more. Adios for now babblers.See ya'll later.

5:16 pm

gotta fix dinner...bbl....

5:16 pm

I would lose my mind living somewhere with that much cold and snow.

5:19 pm

love your stories, min! thanks!

thank you, min!

molly: do you mean pennsylvania? :P

5:21 pm

*puts out lost and found posters for Molly's mind*

5:23 pm

Good luck with that Ru. It was on a milk carton once, no phone calls to the hot line.

5:24 pm

low fat or non fat?

we are getting more snow tomorrow, are you?

5:25 pm

Whole milk. Low fat and non fat is for trendies. : P

5:25 pm

Yes TO, more snow tomorrow but nothing too significant.

5:25 pm

ha

i am concerned about driving to md on wed

5:25 pm

Goodbye penquis! I'll see you later on in the chog maybe.

5:25 pm

*note to self.. stand behind ms Soy frappe in starbucks line

5:25 pm

we just got 4" but the storm is past us now

5:26 pm

Yes Sue, that storm is the one headed towards us.

hi sue

hi sue

5:26 pm

I figured :-)

5:26 pm

en 6 21 please

5:27 pm

it snowed quite heavily for a while, and was windy. Roads are now terrible so I am not going out.

5:27 pm

Have you ever tasted that soy stuff? Ick ptui.

5:27 pm

Ah Sue, bless you. One of the sane people who stays off the roads when they are terrible.

5:28 pm

en6...en + love word

soy milk? njust read an article stating that the way it is mass produced leaves harmful compounds in it, as opposed to in japan where soy is proessed differently

ty for en6

5:29 pm

thanks molly

5:30 pm

I've read the same thing about soy milk. As for Japanese processing, I have my doubts.

i thnk the gist of it is that it is produced by a different process. of course, it being a new product here, american ingenuity needs to turn a profit. i mean, look at what it is and how much it costs. should be a cheap alternative to dairy milk.

oh any molly, ty for the fashion advice, it was spot on.

5:33 pm

fr 5 after not behind?

5:36 pm

Guess again. The only two fr words after not behind are a 7 and an 8

gee i am glad to hear you say that.

5:37 pm

ok

5:37 pm

missing one f before..

5:37 pm

soy milk is expensive here.i tried drinking it because my cousin told me it was better than cows milk but i couldn't get into it and it just cost too much

5:37 pm

got it

5:37 pm

fr5 BEFORE not behind is a variation on Hans and his partner who will "Pump You Up"

yes, lil. that is the point. why?

5:37 pm

But you already got it and I should allow for "Peri Time"

5:37 pm

I wonder how they milk them little soy beans

5:37 pm

thanks for the clues by the way :)

5:38 pm

I'm stumped on a bunch of these

5:38 pm

i don't know, and i was drinking it about 2years ago so you'd think it be cheaper now

i want to try rice milk. i just did try lactaid milk and that works ok.

5:38 pm

I also wonder how they milk almonds. Speaking of trendies.

i need to get more protein and if i can snack on a lass of milk that is helpful. lost 5 lbs.

ooh,. almond milk. tastes so good and feel so bad!

5:40 pm

it's probably because people are into more healthy eating, plus my cousin had breast cancer and after her treatment she read a book by an American lady who said that soy and that asian food was better and that becasue she changed her diet she managed to get over different cancers.apparently she and her husband are scientists

i thought i heard the opposite.. soy contains estrogen and if the tumor was estrogen positive that would be bad.

5:42 pm

i can't remember her name.my cousin gave me a book of hers with recipes but it went into the garage when the house was being done up and either mice got into it or it was in a bag my husband tipped without asking!!

5:43 pm

Hi everyone! Normally I don't chime in, but I'm vegan and am a big fan of cow's milk alternatives, especially almond milk. If you have any questions, let me know! (Otherwise, I'll continue just trying to solve this grid.) :-)

5:43 pm

there was a programme here last year about twins and cancer and one twin had breast cancer and the other hadn't and apparently they had read the same book as she ws saying not to drink cows milk because of all the drugs cows are given and drink soy milk

5:47 pm

Brookie, you can chime in anytime. i've been looking at almond milk as i hate soy milk and only drink skimmed milk as i don't like the creamy taste and the bairn and i saw it the other day in the supermarket but it was too expensive to try if we don't like it.it's fine to drink when it's just us but when husband is here he won't buy it.he used to moan about the cost of soy milk!! how is it better Brookie?

5:48 pm

Hello Brookie! How are you doing today? Welcome to grid

5:50 pm

almond milk is good but a bit gritty. Rice milk is very good without the grit

5:50 pm

TO, i think it was eostrogen based as apparently her 2nd pregnancy brought it on and she lost her baby without knowing she had cancer but after having her breast removed she is now about 8 years clear and that is why she sticks to this book

5:50 pm

Soy is okay in moderation but comes with its host of other problems (though I'd say probably not as problematic as cow's milk). Almond milk is a bit pricey (about $2.00-$2.50 per quarter), but if it helps me be healthier, then I'll buy it. Also, the brand I get (Almond Breeze) has 50% more calcium than milk.

5:51 pm

ty jeff, i've not seen rice milk

5:51 pm

Quart, not quarter - sorry!

i cannot tolerate almond milk. drinking it is like eating a large handful of almonds, which would give me a bellyache. almond milk does as well.

5:51 pm

Rice milk is good but is a bit nutritionally void.

5:52 pm

go for real milk....goats milk is great but expensive

i only use milk for cereal (very little), and in mashed potatoes and some recipes.

goats milk is very rich, too rich to drink in most cases.

5:53 pm

It's unfortunate that foods that claim to be "healthier" are so much more expensive.

5:54 pm

yeah.. why can't Ben and Jerry's be healthy

5:54 pm

i do like the taste of almonds but i don't know if i could drink it.i like coconut but can't stand coconut milk.i don't actually have much milk anyway and when i do it's skimmed and only a bit to mash in things or make pancakes

there was a bok, called the supermarket handbook that taught how to eat health food quality without paying health food store prices. great base of knowledge.

5:55 pm

I totally hear you, Molly. But if one is paying less in insurance deductibles or is missing work less because of less sick time, then there are actually cost savings.

i could live my whole life without ice cream

5:55 pm

I buy almost all organic, have 2 young boys, and spend about $50 a week for food.

5:56 pm

Oh damn, I would be depressed in a life without ice cream.

5:56 pm

Admittedly, I do miss my Haagen Dazs.

really; it is too rich amd creamy. sorbet and sherbet and ices are ok

nothing like a good fudgie.

5:57 pm

50$ a week for all organic food? That is amazing.

do you belong to a coop?

5:57 pm

TO, i'm with you.occasionally i like a dollop of mint choc chip but that could be twice a year.i prefer a fruit sorbet

5:58 pm

the problem with ice creams is that virtually all of them have high fructose corn syrup in them including ben & jerrys

5:58 pm

I do a lot of cooking from scratch, so that helps a lot. I shop at a co-op, and that helps, too. However, the co-op near me is much more costly than the other supermarkets and local farmer's market.

5:58 pm

I might (and I mean might) be able to do that if all we ate was rice, beans and salad.

well rice and beans are good, that is a complete protein.

5:59 pm

Brookie I cook almost everything from scratch and I don't come near 50 dollars a week for food.

5:59 pm

i live in England Brookie and $50 for organic is very good and i also cook alot from scratch like many abblers here

5:59 pm

*babblers

6:00 pm

no 6/21?

6:00 pm

Keep in mind that I'm not buying any cheeses or meats, so that's where the cost savings are coming in. Fortunately there are plenty of other protein, calcium, and iron sources.

6:00 pm

Hello babbleworld! Tied, frustrated and need to think about anything but work!

hello, jily!

6:00 pm

Hi, Jillyjill!

6:00 pm

TIed?

6:00 pm

I don't have no6, sorry, ruru!

6:01 pm

*kinkster in Montana*

6:01 pm

no6/21...if you don't utilize something anymore you have no6/21 for it

6:01 pm

oh aye, meat and cheese to cost more, but i don't buy alot of cheese

i have switched to organic chicken. it tastes so much better!

6:01 pm

thank you molly

6:02 pm

Helo Jillyjill! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log.

6:02 pm

TO, organic chicken must taste better because the chickens are probably fed much better stuff. Does it cost a lot more?

6:02 pm

ty Molly

6:03 pm

ty Molly

6:03 pm

hello minv, ruru, brookie (been awhile!) TO

6:03 pm

Organic anything costs significantly more where I shop.

it does cost more. not a lot more compared to non sale prices, but i realize how much i was doing to give it flavor. and een costco sells it.

i am thinking 5.29 for tenders, probably 70 cents more for breasts, thighs and drums a lot less.

i've never bought a whole organic chicken. but once you taste it you will see the difference.

6:05 pm

Sounds like it's worth the price!

perdue tastes like cardboard.

okiedolie, going to cook my non organic but vegetarian dinner. later, gators.

6:08 pm

Bye 72 Temple Owl! I will see you later in the chat maybe.

6:08 pm

Enjoy!

No, praise God and pass the ... is a southern expression. You can fill in the blank with whatever you want.

6:54 pm

7:33 pm

thanks, DR

7:33 pm

Well done hin!! i hope you enjoy it:)

7:34 pm

Thanks, Lilli. I hope so too!

7:36 pm

they also like another comedy one...with the scientist nerd types.(not my description)

7:36 pm

Phan, you'll do fine:)

7:36 pm

If you like a show that is face paced, has interesting plot lines and leaves you wanting more, Scandal is the best thing on network TV these days.

7:37 pm

Oh man, i can't think of the name as husband has taken them dvd's away with him and the bairn is in bed

7:38 pm

Big Bang Theory

7:38 pm

Big Bang Theory?

7:38 pm

i don't know if i can get that here Molly

7:38 pm

Yes, that's it, tyvm Amelu

7:38 pm

ty to Phan

7:39 pm

BBT is overrated. If you want good old plain and wholesome - watch the Middle.

7:39 pm

an now, I am off... have a good night

7:40 pm

I actually like Big Bang Theory too but i haven't watched all the episodes they have. we get to see alot of these when wer'e abroad, so then get hooked and have to get the dvd's as our tv ? can't think of the word don't have them or are way behind

7:41 pm

Goodnight again Phan, tc hin

7:43 pm

I have yet to understand the appeal of Big Bang Theory. I guess I'm not nerdy enough.

7:43 pm

I don't know if we get the Middle her Cos

7:46 pm

i've not always liked the ones i've watched Molly, as in laugh like the my other two but i put that down to not being ion the mood, as i've watched films my husband has and not laughed and then seen it again or other series and i have, so i just think it depends on the mood your in!And that it's definitely not your type of humour(as in anybodies)

7:47 pm

hello, 140 left

7:48 pm

Hi Jane

7:49 pm

Hello harpjane! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog

7:49 pm

It's like when you watch a fil the first time and then see it a second time and you realize how much you missed the first time without realizing it

7:50 pm

I'm fine thanks, minver. Behind on the grid but the D's seem easy so far!

7:51 pm

hi harP:)

7:51 pm

rimrod should be a word

7:53 pm

Better than me harp...only have 86 words!

7:53 pm

Cool L. Everyone has their taste in TV shows. Just because I don't get something doesn't mean it's not fun for others. (This is where expressing your opinion here gets you in deep doo-doo) : P

7:53 pm

downton abbey sucks

7:54 pm

*whistles*

7:54 pm

7:54 pm

geeze youse guys, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all..... (Thumper)

7:55 pm

Downton Abbey is another show that was good the first few seasons and is awful this season. I have fallen asleep watching every episode.

7:55 pm

naw i dont really think it sucks.. just being ornery :P Ive seen only the first episode. I should watch the rest considering IBought it for 30 bucks

7:55 pm

Actually Cos, i will tell you, as an English person(i should say British as i am) i'm not normally into period dramas but i do actually like Dowtown Abbey!!, so whistles to you :)

7:57 pm

Aye you should watch a couple more

7:57 pm

7:57 pm

I hate it when shows that start out with good story lines and good character development just fizzle away into the land of bad writers.

7:57 pm

7:58 pm

No nu words.

7:58 pm

Sadly Molly, i think alot of programmes do that.i also hate it when they bring back really good comedy series to us from about 15 -20 years ago and were funny then but aren't so much now

8:00 pm

English is incorrect? Don't tell Gilbert & Sullivan.

8:01 pm

i meant me Molly:)

8:02 pm

The article in the link I posted mentioned that she had been evicted.
