hello worzel
it took a lot of balls for me to finish this one :D
xx how are you today mum? xx
at least you've got some. ;-P
isn't it strange that the gonad one was one of the first words i spotted . . .
better, thanx. have taken it very quietly.
i'm glad to hear that mum you make sure you do nothing exciting until you're body is ready ok? xx
nothing exciting?
hokay.
*poor Don*
oh, does that count as exciting?
It does to ME ..lol
roflol
you certainly don't seem very chirpy today mum - very quiet. u sure you're ok? x
upto the eyeballs on pain meds. th4 tend to dampen your spirits a tad.
well if I can cheer u up in any way just let me know. Wish I could fly over just to give you a big hug xx
there's lots of people on here that need a big old worzy hug - mind you, there's a few that need a good kick up the arse, too!
so do i, i could do with lots of hugging. my dear friend june's dad passed away last night. she is withdrawing. i have managed to persuade her to come over tomorrow, just to sit, if that is all she wants to do.
Mum you really are an angel in so many ways. I'm sure you will be an absolute rock for her, even if you don't talk to each other and just sit there quietly. Company is often all that is needed. We all love you Mum Rose, you do know that don't you? xx ALL OF US!!
ican't visit at her house, as it's on the side of a b..... great mountain. one has to be half goat to get to herfront door. perfect territory for ruru.
Evening all. May I please have a clue for ne6-18? Thanks

Thanks much, Rose.
np's peach. *sigh* he's not listening to me.
Who needs a kick in the ass worzel?
.just wondering...
you offering, ruru?
Well it is better than kissing one
to kick, i mean, not offering your ass
I don't think you should try granny with your knee and all
ruru, you seen cosdem since we spoke? do you know anyone who has?
ruru there's one or two lol but they don't really bother me anymore. Besides, as to your other comment about not kissing one - it depends who's it is lmao!!!
nah, i don't think i should ei6.
ruru, i think i saw you on earlier. could you please ask around that set of people. i am getting quite worried.
You mean cos?
He is fine.
yes, ruru.
oh, good. i emailed him and haven't heard back.
That is all i know however
okay. guess he will come back to us when he's good and ready.
Yes .i am sure he will
I don't have an email relationship with him. I just chat with him here..he seems to be a pretty nice man
yeah, he is. the genuine article.
Seems like it
I better head to bed..night gr
i gotta go now folks, gota go to town and do some shopping. I hope you all have a good day/eventide, wherever you celebrate it, and Mum I hope you feel much better really soon xx
hope your day is good to you, worzel.
ty mum xx and if you feel like a rant send me an email xx *poof*
hi, rose, I see on FB that cos said (two days ago) he has a couple of weeks left till summer vacation - he's "Elementary School Dorm Supervisor at Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind" - maybe busy with the job. But he posts a lot on FB.
so I'm sure he's fine. I can't seem to find the post I saw a few weeks back where he got a positive job review, or something like that, but he was quite thrilled about it, as I recall.
wow, thanx rbud. could you please let him know i was asking after him?
sure thing! :)
good morning all
hiya, sprite! :)
helloooo sprite *yodeling*
*hugs rose and rbud* Hello my lovely flowers :)
sprite, are felling better? the flu?? dreams?? pain??
egad....please excuse, these aren't my fingers. i'm breaking them in for a friend..lol
* are you feeling*
flu almost over, dreams yucky, pain manageable. And you, my darling?
lol @ fingers
took today very quietly. so feeling heaps better.
well done, rose. Am glad you did so.
sent message to cos at FB, hope he sees it. :)
maybe he'll have some summer vacation time on his hands soon and be dropping in.
thanx rbud, you are amazing for doing that. i haven't heard from him since his birthday.
no problem. glad to do it.
quick and easy halfway
still looking for an 8 here for nbs.
sprite, the words just jumped out at me tonight. after my first run through i had less than 40 to go. nice grid
hm can't help you there, same goes for me
great, rose
rbud, plural the person who doesn't believe in God. at7/8
thanks rose
thanks! :D
sorry sprite. iknow you don't like clues too early. but i thought that was pretty generalised.
that was fine, rose. I don't mind a clue or two, lol. I just don't like whole series of them.
okay, fingers zipped...
:)
sprite, new pain management regimen. slow release med every night, just the 5mgs, may have 10mgs if i need to take it. 1 hour shifts for 3 days/week. starting at 10am, not 9am. so not driving a manual car in peak hour traffic.
name that proper noun: famous city in Greece
ummm, would that be Athens...lolol
much better, rose. Well done. And DINGDINGDING yes!
and if you can have ho6, of or related to equines, why can't you have steedy?
indeedydeed
*chuckling*
lol, terra goes grooooooaaan YIP, groooooaaaaan YIP in his sleep
oh, sorry, just realised i said a word as part of my post. *slinks into the PB, looks hopefully around, what, no gravy?*
no gravy. Great sauce though. Good drinks. Lovely snacks.
oh, dear, wonder what terra is dreaming about?
chippies, chippies????
let me think... uncut male... spring... my guess would be hot bitches.
chunky chippies with salt and vinegar.
of course. Wouldn't be complete there without chippies
ROFLOLOL, naughty sprite. and naughty terra...
:D
well like mistress, like dog, i'm guessing.
no way. I never dream of hot bitches.
*giggle*
oh, dear, now i can smell the chips....and nary a one in sight. :-(
poor rose. I have delicious apples he4, want one?
st4ed and with hot runny egg custard??
hm mine are raw, but sure, you can have that :)
am missing our pug this morning. I hope that means she is sleeping.
it has remained my favourite dessert since childhood. my grandma would have a jar of each in the fridge, whenever i went th5 for a holiday, bless her
awww that is so sweet!
i hope my grandchildren remember me as the granny with the snack bags of savoury and/or sweet bikkies in her handbag.
they will remember you as the awesomest woman of all times
as will yours when th4 happen
I'd like that :)
I love this grid. Find one word, find a whole series of 'm
like i said, th4 jump out at you
they sure do
good morning
fireflies. Last ones were some forgotten plurals and that odd si8. Ofcourse an obsolete word.
WTG SPRITE!!!
{{sprite}} how cold is it there?
aand yay!
hi ruby, not very.
bonjour {{rosie}}
{{hugs}} darling ruby
am off, my darlings. Gonna wr5 back to our pugs. *hugs* to you all. May your day be blessed and your night peaceful.
g'day....lol
It's been around 8 at night and not much above 10 in the afternoons. At leat it isn't raining
hope your day treats you kindly, sprite. i emailed her earlier.
is pugs OK?
ugh, ruby. and we have had temps in the mid 20'sC. lovely sunny days. i was able to get out and do some pruning. wish my roses would go dormant.
not sure, ruby. she does ne4 a lot of support at the moment. she's pretty blue, with all that's happening.
I've been remiss -- very busy with strting to take over some of the driving and errand-running with recalcitrant husband
we know, dear. you have your plate full too. you poor darling.
If it ever gets warmer, I'll have a garden full of roses and peonies and lots of small things whose names I don't remember
No, I'm OK, the running around is probably good for me
I even bought myself a little TV for the living room (we normally watch in bed in the evening) just for my Tour de FrNCE AND wORLD cUP
nice, ruby. enjoy it, dear
the installation guy just called and he is coming at an inconvenient time
annoyting, but no big deal
half and see you later
see you tomorrow, ruby
greetings friends
back
AND HELLO {{LITTLE PUGS}}!!!!
Morning Mrs Ruby-hugs
TV technician just called and he is vvery late.
trying to play between the storms--lol
Are you having tornadoes or just thunder stoms?
just storms Ruby--been off and on all night
oh, pugs...{{hugs}} dear friend. i was worried for you. sprite said she would email you, as i have already done.
okay Rose, thanks--I tried getting on earlier but the storm kicked me off
naughty storm. just glad to see that you are okay, hun.
You feeling any better and is Sprite okay
Iam Rose
sprite seems to be improved, and i have taken today very quietly. so am feeling heaps better.
good, glad to hear--and please do not worry over me, I will work through this
I hope you are putting off going back to work again for a little while
not until tuesday, next week. and then for only 1 hour for 3 days/week. and starting later, so i won't be driving a manual car in peak hour traffic.
can you not get another car that isnt a manual? Do you think you can handle that
the 1 hour work not the car--lol
huh, re worrying over you. you may as well tell me to stop breathing. you are my dear friend. of course i am going to be concerned.
and that is the very reason I dont like telling you things--lol
1 hopur should be okay. and i realised today, as my hours increase, i can divide them between desk duties, and full duties. with out effecting my workcover payments.
PUGS!! if you stop talking to me and sprite, we are gonna get pretty unhappy. what if we stop telling you stuff? huh? huh?
that might help you a bunch---now just getting you there without problems--Do you have taxi service there you might use for just a little while
it's the peak hour traffic which is hard. the stop/start stuff. lot's of work on the accelerator/brake.
I wont stop talking--lol but you guys have your own problems and its not right to me adding to them. And its only cause I care that I do that not any other reason
pugs, read it again. what if we stop talking to you?
friends do not count the minutes....we are th5 for each other, no matter what.
I would really be sadden then---and I cant see you doing that to me---lol----most of it is things only I can do or fix Rose---and I understand all you are saying----I really do
pugs, love, share and it is halved..the worry i mean. which is why i talk to you and sprite. it eases my heart.
Rose, some of the things I dont even understand all the well myself, if that makes sense--but someone sends me things that is helping, I just need to(I dont know how to word it) what I really n4 is a new brain--lol
and you and sprite and others do help, more th4 you know
You just study on mending you own self---and dont be worrying over me---I will talk when its important--and share and all that--okay
pugs, everything is important, hun. no matter how small. if you don't feel like sharing he4, email us....okay?
I will Rose, I promise
okay, rant over. how are you doing now, dear?
I got 175 to go
but you only just got he4, so that is good.
so far its not too bad
I got to take Barb and another sister to get their hair cut this afternoon, then we are going out for coffee
i hope that will be a good time for you all.
it usually is---Beth(a neighbor to sister) has ms and we are going to stop and visit her too. Our families grew up next door to each other
post number 3...it is lovely to keep in touch with childhood friends.
shes is one of those people that makes you feel up lifted even though she is wheelchair bound
good morning everyone:)
pugs, that was my 3rd post since 4:57.
Morning Crossy
g'day crossy. how are you today, mate?
I didnt get it on my end Rose--sorry
i know, pugs...very frustrating
not too bad at all, granny. 06;13 am here and just trying to shake the morning cobwebs off.
8:13pm he4. nearly bed-time.
I just had reset time he4--that could be why
interesting. my first word is at 7/32.. guess i am going to hell for it;))
*giggle* crossy. nah...underneath it all you are a saint...lol
:)
okay, dinner ready. yes, i know it's late. but with no kids or mothers to consider, we can eat when we like. xoxox
enjoy Rose and maybe later :)
ok.. tea.. check, toast...check, babble...check. Now the day can begin;)
Another large grid!
Name that classical city in the grid
Athens?
Good day to all.
ding! Molly gets the donuts
Mornin' Scrabs
Ah, thanks, and I will share
and now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!
An average of 76 people a year die playing twister, and about 23 of which are through playing the nude version!
Heart attacks/ Sexually transmitted infections for the latter group? Haha.
I don't even want to know
quite possible, scrabby
laughing so hard with asthma attacks
Haha.
it is ok, bichin. My lugs are rattling and wheezing and whistling as well
lungs
time to stop the game of twister:)
what if we brush the playing surface with betadine first:) kills those pesky bugs
what if we grease it with crisco
that's kinky
well, that is a different level althogether. Nude, oiled, twister
Nope, skin contact is what spreads the germs.
Haha, Bichon. That increases the level of exertion.
How about that bouce house which took flight with 3 kids in it. Scary or what
A gust of wind?
i heard that. thing flew 50 feet or so and the kids fell out at 15 feet in the air
The house was installed properly with stakes and a gust blew it up in the air. The kids fell out, two boys hurst seriously
always use tie-downs for your bouncy house
Kids get seriously hurt playing in bounce houses anyway. We see many concussions and broken bones. And trampolines are even worse.
I always see trampolines and think broken necks
we never let our son use a trampoline. i can remember as a kid destroying myself on those tension springs around the edges
I have never understood parents who are okay with trampolines. Bad enough your own kids can get injured, it's a law suit waiting to happen if you let other kids on it.
We can never keep our kids too safe
One kid alone on a trampoline, with the net, is not so bad. But supervision is key.
and in these days when everybody sues anyone for anything, you should not even let people on your property unless they sign a witnessed disclaimer
amen crossy
I'm afraid of kids petting my dog.
*dogs
True.
Although mine are gentle you never know what can happen with an animal
especially with kids and fast erratic movements that can startle a pet
my g'daughter was visiting at a home which has a very gentle lab. She had her mouth near his face and he bit her on the lip. Why my daughter didn't sue I don't know because there is a scar
We see kids get horrible dog bites on their face, from gentle dogs that were unprovoked.
that is why i always taught my son to ask permission from the owner of the pet first, before any interaction took place
To this day my daughter keeps telling Savannah not to get her face close to my dogs. Of course she never listens
At 155/128 I must get ready for work. It is beautiful outside and I would much rather be working in my yard all day.
tc scrabby
Not so beautiful here. But have a good day
we are due for rain every day till monday;(
Enjoy the day everyone.
but all this rain is doing wonders for the grass and the new buds on the trees
We do not need more rain
We have a very sodden yard
we are still trying to wash away winter dirt, and there is still snow in the hills
It's great for planting though, Bich
Yes, but I like to walk around in my yard and not squish
There is something to be said for not squishing : D
Mr/ Bich is cursing the grass growing so much
for now, we are greatfull for anything that is green and growing
hello again. The installer came for my new TV (tiny, just for watching Tour de France) this AAM, but refused to take away the old one. I am in a snit
nice change after 7 months of snow covered barren wasteland
((ruby))
crossy lives on the tundra!
{{crossy}}
that is a bad "bite story", bichon
That's what it's like now. Dumping fees have risen so much
The owners are close friend of my daughter's in-laws so it was touchy
but the fast-talking salesman said it would be picked up.
we are fortunate here. free electronic disposal has caught on and there are dump bins in many area. they recycle the plastic and precious metals off the inner curcuit boards
liar, pants on fire.
It is very hard fighting stuff like that in French. I have to resort to "Let me speak to the manager" and "We are old!"
I'm frazzled
Is not your French pretty good now ruby, after all these years
yes, it's good, but arguing on the telephone is still difficult. My gesticulations don't count.
knowing some of the locals, if you are not perfect in pitch, tone and regional accent, they will act like they do not know what you are saying
My still New York city accent doesn't help me here
this is why, when we drive to the east coast we go through qubec in on go, no stops
Do you speak French crossy?
years ago, when living in NY state, I vvisited Quebec and although they could understand my Fr, I couldn't understand their responses AT ALL
just enough to get my face slapped by ladies in a bar
LOL crossy
Is Quebecois that different
i can ask for a big mac and say smirnoff in 15 languages.. is all i need
According to my Cajun friend, French in France, Canadian French and Cajun French barely translate to each other. It's almost like three different languages.
I need breakfast. Mr. Bich is eating donuts and I'm having oatmeal. Fie on him
of course this does not apply to old quebec city. they live and die on the tourist dollar and at least try
I'd rather have donuts!
Cajun French I can understand being so different
BBS, oatmeal beckons
I think when they're kindly disposed, the French here try hard to understand and don't seem to have trouble. But when they don't want to understand (like the store manager), they don't
your friend is correct. the french i hear and the french that ruby hears are more like long lost cousins
very true, crossy and molly
hi all, help with bottom I pls
Like dry up on the vine without the W
ty Molly

A Scottish word for a pinch of snuff has made an appearance.
Good morning, y'all!
morning judi- and bye to all- taking a break- back later to finish. :-)
Hello, Judi. Not a bad grid, except for those who find it is.
Ah ha. Not familiar with Scottish snuff. What does it start with?
I wasted about 30 seconds trying to find a J word.
sn 6/21
Just monkied it. Amusing!
Bit of a lag after word entry today. Babble constipation.
phantom: nattering
Natter? Don't even know 'er.

Anyway, hi All. :)
Suck my dick hard
Hi, Hego!
Morning Judi

I'm guessing that isn't a clue
um, no
Quirky grids here lately.
not just the grids :D
Mkg - just found another 8. He8.
for sure!
can you clue it judi
We are, of course, all here to play the game and have some friendly banter. Imthebest obviously ISN'T the best as their use of grammar is atrocious as there should be a comma before hard . . . and banana is the start of the phrase so it should have a capital b. Oh, good afternoon to all the SENSIBLE players by the way xx
He8: Those who commit thefts.
hi Worzel
Hiya, worzel.
Hiya Hego xx
thnx judi
Hey Judi xx
hello worzel and all
the troll has vacated the premises ... Dr_God does quick work.
Hey there teach xx
All hail Dr God!!
Good old Dr God!!
Shame Dr God can't sort out some people's paranoia . . .
You can only do so much.....
One miracle at a time, Worzel.
Oh my, you know what they say, paranoia will destroy ya. Yes indeed.
hallelujah!

hello again.
((Hi Ruby))
hello ruby
I won my ittle battle with the store from this AM. The manager called me and someone is coming tomorrow to pick up the old TV! Yay
{{hego}} {{teasch}}
YAY!!!
small victories
congrats on your victory with the store
Ruby: A tiny woman who packs a big punch
Teach: there was a big article about the coal mining industry in West Virginia in a recent New Yorker. Did you see it? It was fascinating, focusing on pollution and other problems
pretty flowers, hego.. and hi all, am back to Babble with a bowl of Quinoa for breakfast
hello Alooy, I love quinoa!
Hi Aloy!
am new to it, ruby.. liking it a lot
I guess I made my point, both with th technician and with the department manager at the store, even in French
don't know that article - but that has been a sensitive issue in WV during the election primary - EPA cutting back on emmissions is hurting the coal industry of WV
Quinoa is the latest "trendy" for the food people
I think it's supposed to be very good for you, better than the more starchy accompaniments to meat
The article started y talking bout the chemical spill in Charleston
I'm not very trendy, food-wise, but learned about it in a Peruvian resto
Quinoa has been around for a long time. It's gotten rabidly popular lately because it's gluten free.
am munching on red quinoa.. a left over salad fixed with black beans, corn, peppers, cilantro and a dressing of lime juice, cumin.. got the recipe off the package
really tasty!
That's funny, Molly, as I think it's an ancient Inca staple
sounds yummy
Kale and edamame have also been around a long time, but the food people act like it was just invented.
It sounds a lot like tabouleh. You could probably substitute quinoa in a tabouleh recipe. I'm going to try it
need a break....bbl
sat in my pantry for ages bc I wasn't sure how to fix it.. reading the package was all I had to do, lol
Do you like kale? I can't bring myself to taste it, even though it's supposed to be so healthful. I used to eat edamame in sushi bars =, usually as a free side dish
ruby - found the article on line and it is all about the chemical spill and not the air pollution
LOVE kale
I agree Ruby, that recipe does sound like tabouleh.
right, the chemical spill and the lack of regulation of the coal industry. Fascinating and I thought of you and my other "friend" in Morgantown
How do you fix it, Aloy, with fat back? lol
The only way I will have kale is blended into a Nutribullet drink. If I'm going to eat greens, I stick to spinach.
Agreed, Molly, simply suateeing spinach with a little garlic and olive oil is simple and probably as good for you if not a "wonder food"
same way you fix other greens.. hubby fixes them, onions, vinegar (little bit), butter, little bit of sugar, salt, pepper..
Cooks.com has some great recipes for kale
I used balsamic vinegar so don't need much sugar in my spinach. Very Pennsylvania Dutch....
great choice
One of our friends who visited early o planted Kale in my potager, but it never came up
fool around a bit and you will hit on a recipe that you really like
Super food Ruby, get the trendy lingo right. : P
I've always thought the Amish were "closet trendy"
The Amish just eat right, and eat fresh. They eat what they grow, what a concept.
ooh.. brb, darkening clouds and I have clothes on the line that already had one rain rinse yesterday!
I would love to eat that way, but growing vegetables is a lot of work. Fortunately, it is possible to get fresh sort-of local veggies
been raining all morning
Growing enough vegetables to live on all year long takes a lot of real estate. (And a lot of freezing and canning) Then, unless you are a vegetarian, you have to farm the animals that will provide your meat.
sounds like a good project for my next life. But I don't think I could raise animals to eat, would probably become a vegetarian
I make my own jams and jellies because I am distrustful of what goes into the commercial products (insects, rotten fruit, etc.
But husband eats the commercial stuff which is fine with me
If I had to grow and scavange my own food I would probably have live somewhere I could fish and shrimp. I could give up meat.
I used to love eating the fish I caught when I lived in Miami but if you had to rely on the local lake and stream fish, you'd get kwashior
Making your own jam is fairly easy. I do that too.
I used to hunt and eat wild mushrooms until Imade a mistake and would up in hospital. Never again!
What kinds do you make?
Strawberry and blackberry
I make my own bread too. It's easy with the bread maker and much cheaper than buying it. It also tastes better.
When we have enough blackberries, I make some jelly for me, but mostly they go into husband's mxed fruit salads
I used to bake bread which is why I had granite counters put into this kitchen, but don't do it anymore as husband doesn't eat it and I would just get fat
I would make raspberry jam, but raspberries are usually way too expensive.
cloud burst beat me, but the clothes only need "damp dry"..
I have a lot of raspberry plants but, so far, very few raspberries
You are lucky Aloy, I would love to have the room to hang dry my laundry outside. Especially the sheets.
Not enough strawberries to put up although sometimes, when they are plentiful in the market, I make some jam but usually give it away
Ruby you are always giving things away. Your neighbors must love you.
well, I am violating deed restrictions, but I don't care.. stoopid not to use this sunshine, and no neighbors can see my clothesline strung between two palm trees
We have tons of red currants which I make into jelly but it's a lot of work. We also have cassis, but I don'tlike the smell and leave them for the birds
right by the clothesline is a huge sea grape plant, and this year it is full of fruit.. have heard of sea grape jelly, but have not made it
Yes, alas, most homeowners associations prohibit clothes lines.
Giving homemade things away (or homegrown) makes my heart happy
<-- never tasted a sea grape
the best gifts, ruby.. hubby made strawberry guava jelly from our fruit and that is what we did.. unique
you have guavas????? Do you eat them with cream cheese, one of my favorite cuba and peuro rican combinations
please forgive y terrible typing but it's freezing here and my fingers are stiffer than usual
I tried making strawberry-rhubarb but it was a gloppy, sloppy, glutinous mess
our guavas are different.. all along the dock walk, trees grow with red fruit about the size of a cherry tomato.. little larger.. we didn't know what they were but saw that the turtles loved them, so we took them to the county extension office.. the lady on duty grabbed one, popped it in her mouth and declared, "delicious"! Then she told us what they were and we did the research on them.. an invasive species, imported as an ornamental, but the fruit messed up sidewalks
I've never seen one growing but that is very interesting
must remember to try some with cream cheese, ty for the info
Do they have to be cooked first?
no.. you can eat them right off the tree
and I lived in Florida all those years......
they are not sweet, have a different flavor
maybe they need a syrup to go with the cheese
time to coo yucky dinner
see you later, kids
cook*
bye chef Ruby
I've handed in my toque, don't deserve it any more
baloney.. don't believe it
Ruby, just because you are not appreciated doesn't mean you are not a good cook.

Thanks, Kamanjah
ah ty kama
YW
kama how ar are you from the fires?
about 400 miles north
but we'll have our share, I'm sure. It is SO dry here
going that direction or are they contained i couldnt quite tell from the tv report?
I haven't really checked on them in a couple of days, but I hope they get them contained, those Santa Ana winds are terrible. I used to live in So CA, and the fires are crazy!
good you are safe though

steve its s 7 and 8 i think as i need that as well
We get them, blowing through the valley occasionally, but this has been going on for a few days and has gotten much worse
*Sends a little blanket of protection to Ruby
ruby would you like some rain with that? I hope your power stays on
jaxx adds a prayer of comfort
ruby think positive thoughts
It's funny that you say that as I've just (clumsily) tied a blanket onto the glass table top o the deck
It has a stained glass hanging lamp above it and I'm dreading the sound of glass breaking!
bring it inside if you can
It's strange because it's sunny and cold and if it wasn't so green and flowery, it would feel like early March
can't do anything about either the table or the lamp except pray
Move the table away from under the lamp
moly si 7 and 8 do you have them?
The glass is 1" thick and probably weighs more than I do and husband is useless
you dont want to lose that blanket
good morning, all :)
why is husband useless?
My lovely Ruby (r.i.p.) used to totally freak out when it got windy
morning cyber

look at Molly's clue at 11:31am
si 8 could tell you how to get to PB
Nan, if you can't eat too much on your birthday, when can you? Glad you had a good dinner.
almost any other celebration Molly lol
Sssshhhh, I'm trying to ease Nan's conscience.
i dont think so Molly lol
don't see how one can get to the pt of warm up, but it was accepted
Well yeah, I really was.
oh - see it now - twisty
Don't feel guilty, nan. These special occasions are to be enjoyed
and hopefully always remembered
Reading in serpentine fashion is a prerequisite for this grid
You've been reading that dictionary again!
hi all, clues that mention "1/2 of the word before it" do not help me when I am not using the list, just saying
what are you looking for at the moment peri?

*Goes to the not clever corner for cluing with stars
Whew, got rid of all w words

sukee congrats on that they are a struggle i have found 18 of them
the si8 mlf but Molly clued it and now I have the word before it as well
oh thats good peri we alll needed a clue for it
Molly, where's that man?
Sorry, I don't provide men. I have tried that before and it ended up with some very unhappy women.
sheesh is a word!
I will have to make do with just the shortcake and champagne then. :(
It's better that way. A man would just hog all the shortcake, swill all the champagne, belch, fart and then take a nap.
Oh, you m

I'm sick of clutter. I think I will heave about two thirds of my wardrobe. At least my living room is always tidy. That said, one uniused BR is turning into a giant walk-incloset of no-longer-needed stuff. My daughter cleans hoses for a living, but there's something about picking up after one's own relatives. . .

Long locks are gorgeous Judi, flip away

For the record... I HATE reality shows.
*To the tune of the Nike commercial* Sometimes I dream, that I could be, like Judi. If I could be like Judi...I wanna be, I wanna be like Judi.
you are so closet judi lol
the scripted ones are dumb enough.
Judi is in the closet? I did not get the memo from the Babble gossip line.
which means all of them hego lol
right
The dumbing down of American entertainment. Honey Boo-Boo, Swamp People... Who can the networks publically humiliate next?
judi i love duck dynasty
honey boo boo oh please
I have no problem with people trying to make money with television shows. I do have a problem with the people who choose to watch them and keep their ratings up though.
I only go in the closet to get my clothes and shoes. *wears he6/21 proudly*
Duck Dynasty is a rare exception in reality TV world.
Oh I'm so glad. I thought Mr. Judi was in for one of those rude awakenings.
back to plowing thru the s's

spend the money teaching them to speak properly and eat right.
Okay kids. I'm outta here. See you tomorrow! *POOF*
molly do you really think tlocal news is better
?
and remember those shows are so edited
bye Judi!!
<---Not a local news watcher
i just greyed the D woot
or some news at least Molly:)
There are a lot of theories about why people watch reality shows. The top two are: because they identify with the subject and because they want to feel superior to other people.
Which is why I, personally, have no desire/need to watch them, Molly. ~:o)
they're just dumb.
i dont feel superior to any of them
anyway, i am going to go watch tv for a bit have 99 left
bye
nd
hi all, I HATE reality shows and do not watch any
They are just cheap TV.
