ROSE! Hi and hugs
Hi Rose - hope you're feeling a bit better today.

PUGS!! SPRITE!! COS!! LIZ!! as you can seei am so much better. i can actually make a noise with my larynx.
Yayyyyyyy Rose!
i twugged that twig! and yay rose!

we have had the lead-lighter here. we have clear sash windows, the top half of which are two vertical panes. we are going to replace the top quarter pane with diamond lead-lights. more in keeping with the art deco period of the house.
rememberd the jim of pbs word here this time
oh pretty, rose! Will you post a pic when it is done?
*duh* please read horizontal panes. *sigh*
Sounds lovely. A friend designed her front door using coloured glass and lead lights.
yeah, the other vertical. I always have to think about those too, lol
that will be nice Rose
I have to be off in 5 minutes, pedicure appt.
sprite, although the house is a weather-board, the cornices are all art-deco. not to mention the 7foot long pink-tinged mirror in the loungeroom.
Glad I caught you.
Love art deco!
oh wow, sounds so good, rose. I like mirrors in houses.
thats a nice treat for you Sprite---hope you have a nice day
sprite, if your hands are clean, could you please take mine too?
oh my. massive statewide hunt for 4 inmates who escaped prison today
governor ordering air flares all over the state.
Sounds nasty, cos.
wow cos
lololllllllllllll rose! Sure, my hands are clean, gimme dem footsies!
cos, check your windows and doors, please
always so scary, escaped prisoners. They have so little to lose.
yay, halfway before I have to go :D
WTG sprite - 91/97 here.

Rose when do you go to the pool again
Liz, sorry I didnt ask how you are today
I'm fine pugs - how are you? I hope things are a bit better for you and your sister today. BTW - sweet new pug icon!
yes things are better then monday--lol and thanks
Is your water flowing again?
it is !
pugs, on friday morning. and i feel so good. have reduced my strong pain meds, AND increased the ti4 between them, with no ill effects.
Yay! So hopefully it's getting a bit warmer.
good news! Rose
So glad to read that Rose. Good news, definitely.
i think the enforced rest this last week has helped. i feel good about everything. and don seems to be coming out of whatever it was too.
Really REALLY happy about that.
it all goes hand in hand--like a pebble thrown in pool
btw, the counseling has definitely helped. something happened at church, and i was able to actually talk to don about it, without losing the plot or being accusatory.
Ripple effect! One good thing leads to another :)
what did Don do tie you down--lol
you all are so good for me.
ummm, pugs will email you, hun.
I think we are all good for each other
okay Rose
I agree with that.
come to think of it, i have emailed you...lol...I AM NOT SILLY. IT'S JUST THE WAY MY MOTHER DRESSES ME...lololol
lol
okay-lol
I slept really good last night for a change!
i am so excited about the windows. don has wanted them for ever so long. this year, i thought, just do it.
More good news!
oh, pugs! * doing happy dance in head* so glad to he4 that, hun
Hope you'll photograph the windows, when they're done.
I do too
definitely. or don will. my fibromyalgia makes my hands have a fine tremor. all my pics look fluffy...lol
Look forward to seeing them :)
and dont Rose to pose too --lol
I was thinking that too - pointing proudly at the windows!
now that i can do, no problems...lol
sorry--meant to say --dont forget to pose in the pics too
Taking a break - hugs to you both. Hope you keep improving, Rose :)
hugs back Liz and later
xoxox liz, enjoy your evening
it wont be long Rose, you and Don will be on your motorbikes--:)
yeah!! now you're talking, girl.
better be looking into those boots--lol
checked already. no creepy-crawlies have taken up residence.
checked already. no creepy-crawlies have taken up residence.
checked already. no creepy-crawlies have taken up residence.
aagghh. darn the dreaded twitch is back.
thats good-lol---you got spit shined -LOL
them---I cant type this morning
s'okay, pugs. i speak puginese, real well...lol
Iam watch this thing going on with Russia :(
here too, pugs. it's scary. i hope russia backs down, and fast.
I do too Rose--the world dont need another war
pugs, with the US of A entering the arena, i think russia will back off. as soon as they work out how to do so without losing 'face'
Iam hoping so Rose
pugs, you still babbling?
I am
may i help you?
I didnt get on here until late
I am not ever half way yet--lol
np's, hun
If you need to retire , then go right ahead Rose
okay, hun. dinner on the way, so that might be a good idea. could you please give ruby my love and hugs?
Iam babbling and thinking of things as well--lol
I will and enjoy dinner and rest well Rose
oh and hugs too
as we all do, pugs. hugs and kisses to a very special person.
back at ya
brb
good morning again
that was quick and re HI
hehehe yeah it is close by. And a really good pedicurist too, medically schooled and she works fast.
did you get a paint job too--and if so what color
no, I didn't. It is not really her thing either, though she will do it (and beautifully) when asked. I will do so in summer, and then it will be the reddest red she has.
at least it makes you feel good about yourself as you should
I do my own fingernails every once in a while, it makes me feel so good about myself. Am rather extravagant with it too, even though I dress rather conservatively. My one big vanity, my fingernails :)
nothing wrong in that at all!
hehehe no I don't think so either.
I braid my nose hairs.
do you add beads too? lol--and good morning OO
oooo cute, o-o :) Do the braids go past the corners of your mouth or straight down?
I wax them so they stick out perpendicular to my body.
oh even better! Makes it easier to judge the width of a doorframe too.
like cat whiskers!
:)
when I was in town yesterday, the farm store had new chicks in---so cute but the little bannies are the cutest--so tiny they are
did you bring one? Or two? Just to start things up? :)
no--its too cold yet---I need to set up a heat lamp and all before doing that
ah I see. All in good time. Just looking should give you a good feeling already, I think :)
some of my hens will go to setting and I will let them hatch out their own and I dont have to fool with all that. The hens are much better at being amommy then Iam--lol
oh awesome! You can get more chicks that way and it won't cost you too much.
no, it wont cost anything---I can save the hens and sell the roosters
even better! That is awesome, pugs.
after today its suppose to start warming up again.And friday up in the 50's
oh wow! Finally, pugs. I hope this is it then for the winter.
Iam afraid not---some snow again over the week end but I think spring is in the teens now, is it not OO
16 days or thereabouts?
I made some mac and tomatoes for my sister that lives not far from me and Iam going there later today
I hope you have a nice visit, pugs.
fireflies for me
I wish you both (plus lurkers) a blessed day and a peaceful evening. *hugs*
her best friend lives a couple of houses down and she has md and Iam going to stop and she her too. Sinces shes in a wheelchair she likes the company
the same to you Sprite
sounds good! So good that you get out of the house. *hugs* once more :)
bye Sprite
Iam leaving for awhile too---bye OO and you are in my prayers and may He bless you today
eh
good morning everyone:)
Last one - re 7/44 clue please
re7: to border a picture again.
Thanks - why did I not see that
twisty-ish grid this one. Lots of nooks and crannies and convenient hiding places for otherwise obvious words.
there we all go, the mass of muscle that is Crossy is clean, buffed and ready for the world:)
Haha. Ready for your GQ photo shoot!
it's all about crossy, scrabby:))
A lean, mean, manly machine.
mild spell coming up for march break. going to be mushy on the trails:(
morning all :-)
howdy wolvie
Hi Wolvie.
Yes, it will be 41F here on Friday, then get cold again.
well, not that warm for us. will go to +1c then drop again but is a far cry from the minus 25c the other day
stats for lone i please?
I must get ready for work. Enjoy the day.
tc scrabby
sorry, wolvie, do not have it
ttfn scrabs!
ty anyway crossy :-)
this one is being tough on me. 58 words in and I hit my first wall
i hear ya- i am up and down still packing the kitchen into its new space- making up my mind where to put stuff - sigh
A move is a pain, but also a good thing. Gives one a chance to clean out the excess
oh this was a remodel- so same thing- have much more space now :-)
we have now been in the same place for 20 years and the amount of stuff is staggering
the i was it 5/12- should have seen it- need more coffee- brb
we look at each other on Christmas and birthdays and shrug because we do not need any more junk. First world issues I know:)
yes- as George Carlin said- we do accumulate stuff :D
ty for the it5
the it 5 gave me the zi 6/26:)
and the zi 7/52
hello everyboy
{{crossy}} and {{wolvie}}
hello everyone
got 89 words this AM, but quietly
hiya ruby :-)
Hi ((ruby)), crossy, wolvie
{{{annie}}}
and annie :-)
how are you feeling?
howdy , annie
ruby, If you mean me, my back is easing up finally and I can breathe w/o pain...yay
yay for annie and I did mean YOU!
the zi 6 and z is a musical instrument. was played in the catchy song Do You Believe in Magic by The Loving Spoonful
at least it looks like one
clue for un 7
ruby, How are things in your pretty valley?
breathing without pain is a good thing:)
we used to go to a ski resort in Austria where they played the zi during dinner. Yuck
our valley is pretty, but I'm not!
REminds me of the Third Man movie....eery
finding something w the planet we live on
lol, not really the thing to play over a romatic dinner
hi matches
dont have that yet matches - sorry
ruby, i saw a pix of you,,,you are very pretty
eactly
ty, annie, maybe before, but not any more
thanks, fun
ruby, are any flowers peeking through?
Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart How the music can free her, whenever it starts And it's magic, if the music is groovy It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll... arrrooooo.. catchy tune:))
all the bulbs are inches up and the daffs have formed buds. It is, however, too early, and I fear we'll get the much-delayed snow in March or even April
One year we had 2 feet on 16 April
ruby, You have been spared. I think this is the worst winter I have experienced and I have been around a long time
I love flowers
e've been too lucky
As long as we don't get a hard frost (unlikely), we should have a lot of Spring flowers
It will be lovely sitting in the garden with a brandy after dinner.
....if I ever finish my bench.....
lol, I have not seen anything green and growing outside since last November:( I have the arctic wasteland motif going on outside on my patio
one of the neighbors actually has spirea in flower already
Putting on the ri 4/9 as I dance away
and the hedge guy still hasn't cut the bottom hedge -- says it's because he didn't get permission from the county
there she goes, in a sparkly glitter dress, drifting across the dance floor
same here crossy- have had the snow melt but it comes right back lol
with Fred
now I'm picturing Fred Astaire
snap, Annie
listen to those toes tappin'
lol- ruby you and annie are sympatico
hi une :-)
hope you'll wear a ti5
hello all :-)
bonjour une
Une, good morning
mm, lots of little nonsense words in this grid
I am finding that too, crossy
phantom: hertz, one of uusue's words, I think
salut, ruby -- I too have tons of bulbs coming up . . . but this winter is so nutso . . . plunged back down into teens, then 70 forecast for next week!
BRB -- taking pups out to pee in the fog :-)

now it is time for the Crossy tidbit of the day!!! In the 1988 Seoul Olympics, during the opening ceremonies, you may have noticed that they cut away from the doves a bit fast with the cameras and carried on. The reason being, as soon as the doves were released several of them decided to rest on the Olympic cauldron and were incinerated when the torch was lit:(.. I know a bit gruesome but still interesting
I thougt you wer going to say they pooped o the athletes
nope, Cajun style doves were served that day
and the Koreans have the right spices for that
I give up on the 8, for now, going to lie down and read the NYT
back from kitchen, ruby is leaving, hope you read some good news

Not with this crowd. Sin is in!
So how is the husky?
She is doing better. Vet thinks she may have a bit of an ear infection, hence the unsteadiness, etc. She's on antibiotics & will start a steroid tomorrow.

bye river i am out too poof
good morning everyone
reading back, we had one at 744 words, perhaps it was a couple of years ago
hello flosey
phae, do you live in the country? and have deer wandering through your property?
yes...that was taken outside our dining room window
wow, we have had them, on occasion, once we were walking around and found ourselves to be between Mother and a young one, neither of them knew what to do, so we got out of their way - but we do have to keep them out of the gardens
we feed them so they come in. It's great to watch the babies grow.
yes, they're so beautiful
need a cup of coffee, just up, bb in a minute
back, are we the only ones in here this morning?
I just came in.... good morning ladies :-)
good morning Diane
what a sweet little girl you have there
Has your snow disappeared ?
almost, I see a few patches around, we had rain yesterday
Thanks! That is our great granddaughter...She will be 3 in June and I'm missing her ( and everyone else ) very much ! I'm feeling a big urge to get back home !
ah, you are vacationing? somewhere without snow?
We spend about 3 months in our son's home down here in Casa Grande, Az. ( This is our 7th winter down here)
sounds lovely, now I do remember you speaking about your son having a place in Az
We come down right after Christmas and stay until mid April. Our son and daughter in law are here right now, enjoying a couple of weeks in "their" home with us. He's still a working man...with Telus in Calgary. :-)
ah, nice to have them with you
Your icon looks like an Alberta rose :-) Everything is in bloom here right now.... I love it!
yes, they grow wild around the property here
they are lovely aren't they
They bloom in Alberta in June and to this day, remind me of studying for exams and knowing that summer holidays are coming!
nice to have such memories surrounding exam time
I've lived in Alberta for all but 2 of my 74 years, and those 2 years were in lovely Victoria !!
what took you to Victoria? we lived there first year we were married - hubby's grad year from Vic College - think it may have been their last year issuing UBC degrees, they then became U Vic
lived in Vancouver next year - had to have 5th year ED. to become teacher
Good Morning everyone. I just read Diane say everything was in bloom and I was shocked:How could Cananda be so warm already (I had to read ALL of the chog to see my assumption was wrong!)
good morning Nef
we do have snowdrops - tiny but strong enough to survive the snow we had last week
*hands nef the tiara* you are queen for the day!
Our dad moved us all out there when I was 18, to be closer to his aging parents. I was oldest of 5, and had been going with my Wally for a year at that time. I worked in the Nova Scotia bank for 2 years and then Wally came and kidnapped me back to Alberta LOL ( actually married in Victoria in May 1960 and back to Alberta )
what a lovely story, diane
thanks TO; but that's the last thing I want. I caught a nasty cold yesterday and want to spend the day in bed; being pampered (as if that would ever happen, right?
Hi Nef :-) and TO :_)
great story, diane!
hello diane and all
i have hit a wall at 118
the last ha 5/12?
met hubby in Toronto (my hometown) while he was working to get funds to go back to college - he left, took 2 years, then came back in 61 when we were married - thus our first year living in Victoria
I'm looking forward to the time change next week ( Arizona does not observe daylight saving time) so I'll get the flip at 10:00 p.m. instead of 11 and may be able to play a bit before bedtime ! :-)
haven't come to the H's yet, sorry mac
starts at 10: here - but I do wish we would stay on DST year round
ha5/12 pork meat + Mr. Gore
So, I left Victoria just one year before you came ! Our courtships were so different then, weren't they Flosey? We seldom phoned ( could not afford it ) BUT, I have a big blue BIrks box filled with beautiful letters,.... about 200 of them, which my kids can have one day !
Oops, sorry that is the 5/14
they sure were - and yes, phone calls were quite an expense back then
The 5/12 is ha + Spanish cheer
Molly, great clue on the ha 5/12, not a better description of Al Gore...Ha, Ha
ty Molly!
good morning Molly, and thanks for the ha5
.....be back later; nice chatting, flosey :-)

Ty Aslindy.i saw the clue earlier from another babbler, but can't remember who, so ty to them
Hi Aslindy by the way

Hello aslindy....small voice from PB
I only have zi5 Jill. Do any words go off that?
hi jilly... I hope you feel better soon
Don't really feel all that bad, a little run down. and dry irritating cough
Jill has a small voice because she's being massaged by a fit masseuse and enjoying it too much :)
but TY aslindy!
good afternoon my babble buddies!. Classes are done for today, sun is shining bright and it has warmed up to a balmy minus 9c:) life is good:)
Hello crossy!
how is Jilly this fine day?
LOL...got a bit of a bug...rest and babble should fix!
Hil Crossy
Okay....halfway...time for a break and a cup 'o tea...bbs
hi all!
Hi Sue:)
hi lilli! Good to see you!
Lovely to see you too as usual
How's everything with you sue?
good! I am having a quiet day so far but have a meeting this evening
Glad you're having a quiet day and hope you're meeting goes well
I hope so, it's the board of trustees of our church and we have to figure out what to do about money (we don't have enough)
hi sue, lilli, Jill
hi bichon!
I'm loving your icon Sue.Who named it the Running Chicken Nebula?
Hi Bichon
Fundraising then Sue?
haha, I have no idea, lilli, some astronomer with a sense of humor, I suppose!
yes, we will be, but we have to come up with next year's budget soon, and need to decide if and what to cut
howdy Lillian, suze. slow responding today. have English homework in another desktop window:))
hi crossy! multitasking again, I see :-)
Definitely...i personally don't see a running chicken but then that could be me as i don't see 'The Plough' or others in the stars
So much English, and it's your native tongue
Hi uu, crossy, lilliann, bichon!! Just starting on this misty Northwestern day.
well, it is a tad more in depth that just learning to speak it I am afraid, bichon:))
hi gmere!
howdy stidmere
Hi uu. Very slow day so far but this evening will be orchestra practice.
((Gmere)) Lovely to see you.I hope you, hubby, stidmama and family are well
hi stid
Sue, i hope you don't have to cut too much and all goes well with your church
for example, my teardown and subsequent book reports, essays, and expanded paragraphs ended up being longer than the book it was about by the time you factor in all the rough drafts, cites and final copies :/
Murphy is busy tearing up a box. He thinks that is a good game. We are all well and the house building seems to be about six weeks from completion (I don't know which planet's time system we re using.)
thanks, lilli, I hope so too!
hi everyone
hi jen!
howdy Jen:))
hi jen
well, i hope all goes well with the house building and that they move in then if not sooner and glad Murphy is enjoying his box:)
Hi Jen
Hello jen. We are just babbling and visiting. Good day to be inside as it is raining here.
we are expecting snow sometime
we had some snow overnight but fortunately only about an inch and a half
stid, your daughter is stidmama?
Yes, stidmama is my little girl.
awesome!
An inch and a half of snow puts everyone on snow schedule out here!
th 6/7, pls
T + HA 5 and HA 6 - no idea what the words mean
old German money, I think
hi teach!
and thanks, wv!
just chercked - former large coins of German stsates
ty teach
Hi Teach
good evening - ultitsasking while starting to fix dinner
sue - also have a church meeting tonight - also had to do large budget cutting this year
everybody is broke, I think, wv
declining numbers and declining income and expenses that only increase
We're doing left-overs for dinner so that means just heating up.
asparagus, fish and mashed potatoes
we are growing but what is happening is that older, well-to-do people are dying and young families are joining; they can't give as much
same here
I am amazed at my memory of remembering words that are on Lickety's list and that are not commonly used!
haha, me too, jen!
yeah, 40 words without lickety!
yay jen!
:0)
my ghost word is salami!
fireworks!
yeah, sue!
Yay!!Wtg Sue!! :)
i always forget ri4/9 is a word as i always think of savoury biscuits and the posh hotel in London
meCongrats uu!!
phantom: kickie-wickie
Good morning from down under :)
Lilli - if you're still there - I think like you when it comes to the ri 4/9 word!
good morning lizlin
Hi Jen
Hi Liz, sorry i was watching tv.It's the Brit in you:)
How are you today - has the rain stopped?
I'm fine thanks.I don't think we had rain up north today but i was in bed for most of it so it may of done.i t was dry this afternoon and evening, but we are still getting alot of rain in the U.K and winds.we seem to get more gales up here.How are you, and you're weather?
I'm fine - weather's good here - autumn now and highs of about 27 C :)
And hopefully for our US friends, I think the freeze is easing a bit.
27C...it's not very often we get that here in the Summer up north, i'm jealous.No wonder you moved to Aus :)
True - I like the climate here - not too many extremes where we live. Occasional days, when it might be in the high 30's but not often. Occasional humidity and a few winter nights, when the temp gets into mid-range single digits! Perfection, I reckon!
yes, i hope the snow is finally ending for them.It can't be nice living in snow all the time
I hated it when it snowed in the UK. Driving to work was the pits! It brought out the worst in many drivers! I saw drivers driving on pavement to avoid traffic jams!
I must admit, that would be one Country i would live in.
I never imagined living in Aus. I sometimes thought of NZ - we're hoping to visit there next year.
Plus alot of drivers can't drive in the snow/ice as we're not use to it.Especially younger drivers, as they don't have any experience in it
That's very true. First time I drove in heavy snow, i found myself trying to duck the snowflakes that were headed straight on at the windscreen! LOL!
i should be a Kiwi now.My dad got a police job there when i was little but my mam didn't want him leaving us whilst she had to sell the house and sort things out
Funny - all the might have beens! But for a choice! Do you watch Doctor Who? The episode with Donna - Turn Left!
LOL, easily done...i get dizzy with snow coming towards the windscreen,so i stop indoors:)
Good choice. I've got some beautiful snow photos, that i took shortly before I left England. It really is beautiful, when it's new.
Not anymore.I remember the old episodes but i haven't watched them for years.My daughter use to love them but then stopped after dDavid Tennant left
Well all for me now. 23 left on the grid and not likely I'm going to pursue them. Keep dodging the snowflakes, liz!
And that's me as a passenger by the way
if anyone needs me, I will be in Lickety's room!
We both enjoy it and are looking forward to the new series.
Hi stidg. Have a good evening.
Also using lickety - down to 14 now. Started the morning at 25 or something similar.
Bye Gmere, tc hin and hugs to you:)
I am sown to 98
New glasses are making me dizzy :( Combined computer / reading ones.
We'll shout Jen :)
39 here and i'm using lickety too
thanks, lilliann, and I know what you are talking about lizlin!
I was hoping to be finished by Midnight but it's the usual for me, that i'm still plodding along.i get easily sidetracked:)
I have to take my glasses off now to read and go on the computor
Taking a break now. Giving my eyes a rest. Only got these glasses yesterday. Before had separate reading and computer glasses. These are slightly stronger.
Good luck with the grid. I'll be back in an hour or so to finish. Thanks for the chat.
okay, liz, see you later
Tc Liz, i hope you get over your dizzy spells, hopefully i won't be here when you come back(not nastily said) :)

I know, i've tried it 8 times. :(
maybe you'll quit typing it Beth!
You'd think so wouldn't you? Please tell my monkey
Hello again...Son had to reset router, then Mom called with problems...babbling to relieve stress is a must!
WooT WooT WooT teach!!
which one are you trying to get, beth?
hi jilly!
I don' t know what i need Jen, i'm using ipad - not optimal for babble no lickety
I see
I hate doing babble on my phone or tablet...I sympathize bethn!
beth, how much snow do you have?
It has been a good way to ease back on the compulsion to finish. But i do miss not finishing regularly. Also it is not convenient for extended chatting as i am not the fastest 1 finger typist
All of our snow is melting quickly....but not wanting to think it is sign of spring just yet.
we are supposed to get more tonight or tomorrow, the last one went south so we got lighter snow
We have a little more than a foot still on the ground, down from almost 2 feet at one point. I am so looking forward to spring
Where are you jen? I am in montana.
I bet
And where are you bethn?
i am in Missouri, jilly
Northern new jersey
Okay bethn, have a son in southern MA, so I do know what you have had this winter. We got into two of them when we were back there in December. Not fun!
Can anyone clue the w's?
Guess things are really bad for Minn as well, worst in 30 years. Same here, last year it was this snow stormy was in 1989.
We have had 17 plowable storms this season. Shoot me now
bethn....think of wu****ing heights...
wu6 and wu7
Thank you thank you
then pl bethn
the 7 is a plural
pen, how much snow do you have?
hi penq!
Not words i work into every day conversation
Wu6/7 have to do with blustery winds...we ALL could work that into a conversation this past winter!!
hi folks
((welki))
beth - there's a babble get together in nj on march 15th - somerset, at the doubletree hotel. check out the post on FB
need to go, talk to you all tomorrow!
how're you holding up, jilly?
hi/bye, jen
See you later jen..
Ooh i will check it out are you expecting a big turnout?
Oh dear, I think I know what my cross is to bear...Mom is getting to be a handful, and health fragile and deteriorating.
Bye jen
not very big - dorens, jbv, templeowl, hego, jmc - and whoever else shows up :)
I would have loved to do a meetup when I was out there in December, but just wrong time of year.
it's rough, jilly :(
That is hard to handle jilly. How old is she?
i'm still waiting for you to get your passport and come north
we still have a reasonable amount on the ground...but not too much....just keeps snowing twice a week....not much each time usually....
we're expecting more snow tonight, too - and it's been soooo very cold the last couple of weeks
sorry....didn't realize Jen had left...
very cold here this week, too....
I have my passport!! I did also attempt a meetup with Jilli and Flosey last October, but that didn't work either...maybe I'm a jinx!
what part of Canada penquis?
It got up to 38 here today. I thought it was a little bit of heaven
38 is springtime weather, beth - last week, we had wind chills of -45C
sorry I mean welki rofl!!!
alberta, shorty
oh ok were taking a trip to the falls this weekend Canada side :)
i've never been to the falls, even though i'm originally from ny/nj and it would have been an easy trip
i am not in Canada....i am in Maine...
Holy crap welki! How do you manage? I bought my daughter and me long northface jackets this year to cope with our -10 wind chills but -45 is unthinkable
yes i accidently put ur name sorry I see u are from Maine I LOVE MAINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i guess i've gotten (a little) used to it, but i have to say i'm sick and tired of winter already - it's been a bad one
beth, i think i remember you telling me you're from morris county (because we were talking about how i used to live in sussex county) - yes?
Thats me welki : )
I haven't chatted much lately things were getting a little testy in the chog so i just opted out for a while
and jilly - you're not a jinx, silly. plans just don't always work out
Certainly hope not...I really would like to meet my babble buddies, you all are such a support system!
yep, that's why you don't see a bunch of the 'regulars' much anymore
And I am sorry about that...I do just ignore . I have to say it has been much better lately.
Has there been a large exodus ? this is the first time I've been on in about 8 months
Mostly personality clashes. I have to bite my lip now and then!
how far are you from pincher creek, jilly?
I know how you feel. I just found it easier to not even look. I come to babble to destress, not ramp up the level.
exactly, beth
Truth!
g'night,everyone (and do try to come to the meet up, beth - will be fun!)
I am going to try welki, bless you happy dreams!
it says enuf is not found in the dictionary,and it is IN the dictionary,Whats up with that????????? But i found the right word.
