cooee and g'day from me. what a magic grid!
Hi Rose. Pt hanks for the email.
{{hugs}} liz girl. just keeping you inthe loop. how's things up there?
Very dark and thundery.
* prays that rain comes to liz's area*
So I guess you'll be looking at hip replacement next. Soon be calling you the bionic woman!
We've had lots of rain. Lots more to come today and tomorrow.
nice liz....hope you don't get too much, hin
should help fill the pool...
Almost 2 tiles since yesterday.
Should be sunny by next week. Hope so. Annual Chanukah celebrations in the park next Thursday.
wow!!! hear that knocking on the front door?? it's me...let me ion, it's wet out here....lol
ugh....in....
Lol
oh, how lovely, liz. praying for good weather for Chanukah.
How are things down your way?
still cold and wet. but the sun did break through briefly this arvo. no break really until saturday.
Monday here I think.
Are you feeling less achy today?
it is nice to find out i genuinely have pain and its cause. i was starting to doubt myself.
Glad there's a reason but sort of wish there wasn't. From your reading of the X-rays, do you think they'll want to do a replacement?
Are all 4 of the 9s co 9?
3 are. i dont know about the 4th. dont have it
Me neither. Have 3 co 9s
other 9 is pl9/66
compound word
Thanks. Looking.
liz, bilateral hip replacements are definitely in the cards...*sigh*
Sigh indeed. You'll be setting off all the me5 detectors at the airport.
i am trying to work out if i should have the surgery before i go overseas, or after.
i already do THAT....lol....not a new experience at all.
Depends on your pain level. It'd be a real shame if pain stopped you doing stuff you wanted to do.
luckily, with hips, doing both at once is considered a good idea.
:) sort of!
Clue for that 9 pls.
oh, we are looking in earnest at our next car. i love toyota, and don is quite happy with the corolla, as am i.
Saw a woman climbing all the steps at tintagel castle this summer, who'd had both hips done. She was so fit!
pl6, plural of large flat areas of land + not women
Thanks
Wouldn't have thought of that word.
liz, going up is not a problem, and coming down is not so bad. it's the long time standing and/or walking.
Well I guess she went down too!
Very steep.
So you can't walk or stay still. Confusing!
Seriously though, so unpleasant.
*giggle* walking makes the joints hurt, standing still makes the muscles spasm..and YOU'RE confused? try living with it.
Very hard but like you said, at least the docs can't doubt the truth of it now.
my GP is flummoxed. she said if it was my hips, the pain should be at the front. my pain is along my thighs on the outside. also, i get excruciating pain just sitting in the car, or lieing in bed.
Referred pain?
ah, well, liz. there is certainly some-one who is worse off than i am. i will not co8.
Great attitude but I wish you were without pain.
Great attitude but I wish you were without pain.
as i said in the email, maybe this will get her off my back re my usage of endone.
Perhaps but how long term can you use it and how much? Is it addictive?
it is addictive. but i take about once every two weeks only. and only one tablet then. i am not taking it everyday.
Sounds OK TO ME
Sounds OK to me.
Sorry for repeating.
i am thinking once she sees the x-rays, she will be a little more gentle with me.
Hope so. No reason why you should suffer.
the box of endone i am currently using was dispensed last june. that's 6 months ago. so 20 tablets have lasted me all that ti4.
Sounds like you're being very careful in your use of them.
Taking a break, Rose. Going cross eyed. Have a great evening. Hugs.
which is why i can't understand why she is so jumpy about my use of it.
you too, liz girl. enjoy your evening
good morning all :)
your gp knows how many people become dependent on the endone, rose, and she is very afraid to give it for long term use. She is not used to people who know the risks and can manage their intake to extreme moments of pain.
{{hugs}} my darling friend.
*hugs rose* Hello dear friend. Sorry to have missed you yesterday.
i hope you have had a good night, and that yesterday was kind to you.
am struggling at the moment, lots of bad nights, lots of pain, low energy.
np's, sprite. i emailed you re x-rays and ultrasound.
sprite, do you think tim's accident has been the trigger?
yes I read it, rose, will answer email after babble. *hugs* So hip replacements are next, down the line?
the jury is still out on that, sprite....lol
i just wanna be there and hug you, and stand between you and life, hin.
I have a friend who has had a stance correction, 2 knee replacements and 2 hip replacements. She said the hips were a breeze, after what she suffered with the knees.
you and me both, rose! Sometimes I am really frustrated we aren't neighbours. Would be so awesome to hop over for a cuppa and lots of hugs.
giggle...the junior technician offered me tissues while his superior confirmed his ( the junior's ) findings.
aw :( Kind of him, but hell, not fun to be in such pain during examinations.
dinner ready, will be back in about 20 minutes...i have a sneaky suspicion you will still be here.
most likely, lol. Big grid. Enjoy your dinner, darling.
oh dear God it is so cold!
*puts on second sweater*
and back....turn the heating up, for goodness sake.
too early in the day. I try and postpone it until the family comes home. Saves a tremendous amount of gas.
I mean fuel.
Or whatever.
*giggle* my darling....while you are sitting so quietly....TURN THE HEATER ON!! when you are moving around turn it off.
lol :) I just put on a second layer of extra clothing. I look like the michelin man... your pits-something dough boy. But it is toasty.
okay, sweetie. please don't freeze to death...
where's terra? cuddle him...
no I won't, don't worry!
hehehe Terra is at my feet, as usual. Very sweet.
just tuck the toes under him....
lol! Just tried and he looked up at me with a very disturbed face.
tough.....tuck them under him...
sorry Terra.... Rose made me do it.... I swear.
lolol....terra wear it, mate.
lol
oh rose, I have started knitting again! I have this huge project which is simply too hot to have on my lap in summer. But it is lovely warm now, lol, and I enjoy doing it again so much.
nice, sprite. go for it, hun.
yeah, after babble and email and laundry and toiletcleaning.
I feed the dvd player some series and then sit down and knit. Love it.
tomorrow my friend june is coming. she is going to motivate me into doing some gardening. * sigh *
oh, I think I have a scan of the pattern... let me see if I can send you a picture. Only the picture is in pastel, while I am knitting with a yarn in autumn colours.
take care of yourself, sweetie. Don't be pushed into more than you can handle physically.
sprite, an hour at the most. my friend knows that. and a few rests in that hour, i promise.
june has seen me at my worst. she knows how much i can take...and is very conscientious about me taking a break.
diving back into the grid.....91 left and a big day tomorrow.
very good, darling.
wb dizgrannie. What is tomorrow?
wb diz....enjoy hun
Hi from me too - just here for a few minutes to find a few words before we make some bread.
Oh but I must tell you all.....our ADDHD/OCC g/son made school prefect for next yr
Liz! *hugs*
ohhhh, home-made bread......
Fantastic, Diz. Congrats.
Hugs, sprite.
whoot, diz...what an achievement.
We make Challah for Shabbat but also make a wheat / seed loaf.
oh wow, gratz!
I hate c's!!
lol poor Liz
AND (drum roll) our eldest g/dtr came 2nd in Metal work, 2nd in History, 2nd in Class History, 3rd in Music.....AND!!!! heaps of accolades for her mentoring of the younger students...one set of proud g/parents here.
BBL - hugs to all. Bread making calls.

Congrats again.
wow dizgrannie, you did well with them :)
From after co 10 on! But really got to go now!
but you love Cass, I know you do :P
oh, diz....congrats....
Cass comes before co 10 ;) Hubby needs another few mins.
*giggles* You are so right.
Need 13 more c's and 9 more p's - amongst the 102 I've still got to find!!!
am just a little over halfway myself, and nowhere near finishing those 2 letters.
You'll finish before me - I'll do some more a bit later then finish tomorrow. Really, really going now. Big hugs - just to show that there are some c's I love!
bye Liz! *hugs* for the both of you and enjoy the bread.
lolol...bye liz
I emailed you already, rose. With the pics of the thing I am knitting.
thanx sprite. that is what we call a hug-me-tight. it wraps around you, and you feel so comfy and warm.
aw what a lovely name for it!
Good morning everyone, I have just rejoined after eight years so am extremely rusty, so might need a bit of help
welcome back then, Clash. Did you have the same name back then?
My user name used to be scatty eight years ago but couldn't use it this time round
scatty rings a bell for me. Wb. And if you have questions, feel free to ask.
yay, a decent-size grid!
{{hugs}} ruby my friend
{{sprite}} are you stil here I haven't seen you in ages. |How is Tim?
Your name rang a bell with me as well, the first thing I said to my son was sprite's still here, lol
hey ruby :) *hug* How are things at your side?
and wb clash...enjoy your game
{{rosie}} I read your mail and feel very sorry about your no-cartilage hip. It sounds like mine.
I am here. Tim is doing remarkably well. Mostly healed up. Sometimes still headaches. And some scarring. But minor compared to what it might have been.
I will be bACK AFTER LUNCH BUT TODAY IS dil'D LAST DAY AND WE'VE INVITED OTHER FRIENDS TO JOIN US AT sPRITE'S RESTO
xoxox ruby...that was both hips...
sorry for caps
Mine is just the left one and it's probably more spine than hip but I certainly understand pain meds
nice ruby....what a lovely plan. i hope you enjoy.
Sprite, I used to be up really late in the u.k talking about my bad back, ring any bells
vaguely, yes I think so, Clash. How is your back nowadays?
hehehe found the bonnet glass! Yay for odd words.
Thank you sprite!
yvw saan, and hi :)
whoot!! g'day saanichcat
Wow, thanks Sprite - I had to look that bad boy up to catch the reference
bellwoof
hi matty, yvw.
hi tthere rose and matty, ruby
g'day matty
lol almost fell asleep on the space bar
ugh, sprite....
yeah not good, grin. I think I'll start a laundry load. Back in a few.
do it, dear. how long before you get back?
back
wb dearest
thank you :) Oh, did I tell you my daughter is being a total pesky teenage atm? So unkind and bitchy, ugh.
clash, saan, matty, ruby??? you all here?
all sucked in by the grid, lol
ugh, sprite. is it her ti4 of the month?
here lost in the grid
saan, it is a lovely grid....enjoy it.
if so, she has the same issue as I used to have... periods that last for weeks, lol. No, it is hormones but the teenager ones. She had me close to tears day before yesterday.
's okay, saan! Nice feeling to be lost in babble.
yes rose, so far it's been fun, began just a while ago
oh, dear, sprite. i am so sorry for your loss.....the loss of your sanity that is.
what was left of it, anyway, lolllll. Yeah, a whole new world to discover. Teenager girls are so different from teenager boys, aren't they!
absolutely, dearest. google it and be prepared. and poor caya...
she came down to ask my opinion on her clothes for Xmas at school... a very classy dress with nylons, then (brace yourself) red stockings up to her knees and sneakers.
poor you, poor Rob and poor Tim. they will never know what hit them...
so... I gave my opinion... then got burned for doing so.
oh, dear...poor you. and of course you want to be honest...
I hope you take lots of pictures sprite, many later laughs!
Rob and I always have been honest with our kids. I don't want to change that now.
lol saan, good one
I am here, on and off
maybe ask caya .....do you want my opinion...or the opinion of the fashion guru's?
real life being demanding your attention, matty? :D
nah, next time she asks my opinion about her clothes, I will say "nice" and then nothing more. Lol.
sprite...sometimes you need to try and second guess just where your kids want the opinion to come from....i know...hard at the easiest of ti4s.
well, the problem wasn't with my opinion in itself, the lady declared. It was the fact that I gave it right away, without taking my time to think about it.
You just need to invite some bitchy queens over sprite to comment
oh, good idea, ru! :)
Yeah - real life is a bit demanding at the moment, but that's what happens ;)
whoot!!! g'day ruru. what are you doing up at this hour?
ain't that the truth, matty, grin
good grief ru, you are up late, hello!
ruru, what ti4 is it? and which day? lolol
it is noon in france, not that late, lol. I see you have adapted your nationality to one that suits your sleeping pattern, ru ;)
did anyone else have red boxes?
Sprite, I keep trying neat
yeah, the server resets at 5 am grid time, saan. The hiccup.
oooh thanks sprite
it should update now, clash, or try again now. The hiccup ate the word, I think.
the rankings got updated then... and the game 'hangs' for a few minutes. Chat messages and words are lost in cyberspace.
fireflies. Last words: the japanese business man/men.
WTG SPRITE!!!
congrats sprite, well done
i hope your day is kind to you sprite. hopefully i will catch you tomorrow at the flip. xoxox
*hugs* my dear friend! Sleep well. And have lots of fun with your friend tomorrow.
Japanese business men?
is ru still around? Calling ru...
bye all, I hope you will have a blessed day and a peaceful night. *hugs*
ta6/7 combo, saan. Japanese guys with international businesses.
oh duh, thank you sprite!
I don't believe I'm familiar with that particular word
James Clavell wroye a book by that title
Thanks both!
al the things we learn from babble :)
good morning everyone:)
Hi Crossy
ty for James Clavell clue. Sho-gun is my favorite by this author, that and King Rat
good reads crossy
howdy, matty:)
I just finished an old favorite the other day; Q Clearance by Peter Benchly, the author of Jaws. Great little story of a low level office drone for the White House . He normally writes speeches for the President, but due to an error in paperwork, he is suddenly bestowed with the highest security clearance available and unwillingly becomes the President's right-hand man.
Good morning
howdy sukee:)
We have a heavy snowfall warning up here. 10-15 inches in the next 8 hours or so:)
Coming down like crazy right now:)
I was just going to mention, Toronto got hit hard but we don't have any snow at all here.
just squeaking around you I suppose
you are in K-W area as i recall
We will probably get some today.
Yes
I will have to get out earlier today and clean the jeep off;) I crush down a path for the other who live here to follow until the lot gets cleaned;) Crossy loves his Jeep!
-3 now, say it feels like -11.
yes, wind chill is below minus 14 here as well but the actual air temp is minus4
i dont really like these big puzzles
I prefer them from 150-250, sue
But, they make you feel like you are actually accomplishing something :)
me too cross
any less that 150, and you have a babblet-infested thing with sharp teeth, and anything over 250 turns into nothing but a typing endurance contest
So agreed, crossy
Yes, snow is starting...
I sent some down to you, sukee:))
Thanks...
Anything for my babble friends:))
pa
howdy, marigold:)

COFFEE TIME
*Sniff* The poor grid. Being teased about it's "plus size" status.
I have ten minutes and then I get the joy of digging the jeep out
whoo hoo - we can't talk about the "not real" babble words today without landing in the PB!
I dont miss that cross
funny one Molly!
in fact, in 5-6 years when we retire to the camper, we are only taking sweaters
no pants camping! go sue!
I could live the rest of my life happily if I never had to take a shovel to snow again
yep
Into the the box for you, Trif!
amen molly
oops
here if it snows 1 inch, schools are closed 1 week
at least I am wearing them!
lol, sue
I'm sure the school appreciates that Trif
if only you knew molly - I went rogue today. JEANS
Here, if you cannot open the door of your car because the snow is up to the door handles, then we call it a day
OH DEAR GOD! All the Puritans are probably praying for your wayward soul.
JEANS???!!! GASP!
as long as people are praying for me at all, I'm good
truest words ever tri
We are not seeing many dresses around here lately, trif:)
I wear dresses almost every day. that's why the jeans are so rogue
Guess the ladies do not wish a minus 20c wind with snow blowing off the bay and up their kilts
my friend actually tease me about my dress affections. I wear them ALL the time - gardening, mowing, whatever. People have to ASK me not to wear them to things like outdoor concerts....but I do what I want. What can I say? I like me a dress
If you are in an environment where that can work, go for it, I say:)
but no, I don't think I would like a 20c wind up there crossy
thats minus 20 lol. things tend to freeze;)
speaking of which, it is time for me to head out and clean off the sleigh.. tc all and happy babbling
I am giggling....I have a few gay friends who refer to that particular area on a woman as a "b*tch whistle" - a rather ghastly term, but it does make a funny visual, when paired with the idea of wind blowing up a skirt....
Now see, "whistle" brings to mind male anatomy, not female : D
hahhah.....anyway...that's my free period gone. See you laters, gators!
Hope you enjoyed your 9 1/2 minutes : D
clue for ti6/21 before the 8
i have one ti6/21 - related to 'book' - name of book. not sure whether this is the one you want. i don't have the 8 .

still trying to get my Christmas tree decorated. slow going, this year.
some people do it later then this
true. I wanted to do it Thanksgiving weekend, but that didn't happen.
Mine is usually not up this early, but plans for this weekend made that happen.
<---doesn't do a Christmas tree
I can't deal with Christmas decorations for a month plus, I get tired of them.
me either ruru
I don't believe that for a second molly
i love christmas decorations:)
*Arranges for a Charlie Brown Christmas tree to be sent to Ru's house*
It's true, I can deal with Christmas decorations for about two weeks. Any longer than that is overkill.
this year I am having to help my parents more, and recently had pet health issues interrupt things.
that reminds me of part of the episode of extreme cheapstakes i saw last night regarding xmas
i hope your pet is okay now?
Putting the tree up at Thanksgiving is WAY too early for me.
jeez.. around hear they were up right after halloween
I've seen them up in my neighborhood right after Halloween. I truly don't get that at all.
i wonder what is wrong with people who actualy do that? i heard you are supposed to keep a tree up until about the 4th or 5 of jan
ruru decorations were in the stores here right around that time
Live trees don't stay fresh that long. The advent of artificial Christmas trees has made people put them up earlier.
Yes... found out cat Sunny is diabetic, started insulin shots and changed his diet - turns out diet was enough so we had to stop shots. Dog Raven injured his leg, but today he's much better.
exactly why i wondered hwo that could be with trees having to stay up that long? I dont know many who do real trees anymore
Our tree comes down New Years Day
out with the de5's and in with the saints I guess molly
i think thats when most people take them down
I've noticed a lot more outdoor lights this year. For a while there, it seemed like people had quit putting them up.
one of my neighbors goes all out on xmas lights
and some put them out later and later into december and take them down right away
it's kinda cute actually
i will be back shortly
<---down to three letters.. may have to list
Lots of LED options for outdoor lights now - I think that's brought a lot of people back to it,
People have gotten so lazy about everything. Outdoor lights take some work.
mollys a curmudgeon.. molly's a curmudgeon
missing some p's and I can't find them
I just noticed there are 2 11's. *sigh*
must be pl's
Yep, that's me, the nasty old curmudgeon of Babble chat. (Also the biggest bitch)
I didn't go that far :D
Well, you don't visit the Babble S̶l̶a̶m̶ Facebook page : D
no.. I sure miss that one .. that's for sure
are there any ph words?
Yes, 2 of them
back to look for those. ty.
molly what are stats for those please?
oh i got one of them! yeah. i got Ph***** of the opera. is other one similar?
plural
ty got it.
yeah!!!!!!! i was thinking of the other M. silly me.
pani
need another ten words to be more than half way and then leave.
I watched part of extreme cheapskates last night. Wow what some people will do for Christmas. Also people have HUGE collections of stuff, ie snowmen and nutcrackers.
need to go volunteer at the food pantry. bbl
ty mkg
helen everything is using LED now
down just below 100 - time for lunch - BBL
bye wv
peri, now that you watched it, you going to start peeing in a bottle to save on your water bill?
evan i saw something like that on that show as well
i saw the same parts of it peri did
and then the rag toilet paper
I'm sorry, I'm not sure I can go there
ew
and the one with the mouthwash
maybe when the zombies strike i'll change my mind
making a tree out of the parts cut off a bigger one doesnt seem cheap to me.. they can be used to decorate mantel and such
What about the man who when in a food place will go upto people and ask for the scraps off of their plates in front of his wife!
that is so nasty
their was an intersting one though.a girl would look through the obits to see who passed away..wait for a whiel and either go to their homes or call them to see if they didnt want to keep the clothing of the deceased person and wear the clothes herself
oh yeah zoom, I saw that one
i would divorce, seriously. he eats their left overs and then what? you kiss him? no thank you
good morning :-)
hi cyber
Does anyone have TR 5/16?
nope -- tr 5/14, but no 16
i have the same one:)
ha 7, please?
i dont have it
first three letters of opp of sad + alternate spelling for opp of dark
ty judy
thanks judi
i have bo 5/14 ending in an s can anyone help with theother bo 5/14 please?
a boat that rents rooms for the night
wouldnt that be a yacht?
or a cruise?
where would you rent a room for the night mlf? -- change first letter
oh that made more sense thanks cyber?
oops sorry for the question mark
How many words?
mile
Oops!!! Goofed up again!!! Lol
mo 8, please?
348 words
348
Thank you!
I disagree with the definition for bo5/14 given next to the word. It's a place where they rent slips for the night, not a ship that functions as a Holiday Inn.
i read it as being a clue rather than a definition
I wasn't talking about Nan's clue. I was talking about the definition given next to the word.
there is a bo 5/14 in the historic district of Sacramento. It is an old paddle wheeler that acts as an inn.
Maybe it's both then Nan. The people I know who have boats use the word in the other way.
if mo-tel is short for motor hotel, bo-tel does work as a boat motel
mmm - had a look at the new icon, molly -- guess it's time to change mine!
anyone have a clue for the mo 8, please?
are you looking for a serving of chocolate cake, liqueur or something, crossy?
no..why?
mo8...starts like French for high peak, ends like Mr. Urban of country music
no idea who mr. urban is
though a shot of absinthe would go down well about now:)
Mr. Richard of The Rolling Stones?
Mr. Carradine the actor?
modavid?
know who that is, but can't think of his first name
Alexander .... the brewery in Canada?
ty molly
David has a brother
the brewery did it!
I figured if I made it Canadian it would ring a bell
It is a great micro-brewery:)
the others would have for most people too -- I just have never been into country or rock music
lol, I didn't even know david had a brother:))
mo8= a large punch bowl:) have to remember that one
he actually has three brothers.. cool
4*
I was only half betting the name clues would go over. I figured the punch bowl would be a true shot in the dark.
so many words I've never heard of before!
Don't what I would do without a list on this one
Yes, and if I'm going to learn new words, I would prefer they be words I can use (without being looked at in a funny way)
They pulled all the buses and cabs off the road today:( Had to ferry a few people home when they closed the school... I love winter:)
getting a blizzard, crossy?
got about a foot and a half since this morning, but it is the wind off the bay whipping up snow drifts that is the real problem
dare I mention that it is over cast but 6C here this morning?
You can mention it. Crossy is having fun playing in the snow:)
will forego the snow shovels thanks!
would like snow for Christmas day, then it can leave. We have to drive to Vancouver on Jan. 3rd -- can do without snow storms then.
The citiots will be chomping at the bit to get up here this weekend for skiing!
last pl 6, please?
pl + first three vowels backwards + consonant
No, that's wrong, jumble the vowels
Ends in not B.C.

Hi everyone, anyone there?
hello
Can I use you all as a thesaurus? I need a word to describe someone who has apologised for causing uncomfortable situation by getting offended at someones comment and then leaving for a while - and then apologising the next day.
Something like - being brave, but honest
HA 5/16 clue please?
mercurial hot head?
i would think 'canadian' fits the bill
is that for me maggie?
Someone apologised to me (as I was a witness) and I want to say something, but want to use the right words, so do I say : "Yes, you were a mercurial hot head, but that is who you are."
no mlfam
'course then someone else would get offended and have to apologize the next day for causing an uncomfortable situation :D
change last letter of 5/12 above it
can anyone help with a clue please?
to a sometimes vowel
that's for you
lickety, you're probably best off saying nothing, if things are taken the wrong way by that person -
thank you maggie
very true
welki - good point. I sorta want to thank her for apologising though
is wasn't my hubby was it? lol
yw
This is what I was sent : " Was a good night last night apart from the small H/D incident. Apologies for that. I reacted badly to H's comment, rightly or wrongly."
then just say, 'thanks for apologising,' and add some platitude if you feel you need to
EM7?
or just, 'you don't need to apologize to me, but thanks just the same'
em7 = ***ty nesters + cans
Welki - well it was an uncomforatble situation for me for a little while.
Maybe something like : "Yes it was uncomfortable, hopefully it won't happen again."
"but thank you for apologising"
Thanks for the sound board, I gotta go - learn how to spell
hey lickety - thanks to YOU for keeping the list going
got the em7
Your welcome, it's a pleasure to help out the nicest people on the internet.

WAKE UP Dorens
and why not?
very year... since I was a kid
aren't you jewish?
oh.. ok
parents were not at all religious. we liked the look and smell. think about it.. back to the celebration of solstice... i maintain they are not religious. of course if we had an angel on tip (instead of the capiz shell star i have) and mangers , etc.. it would be religious.
it's not even midnight in New Jersey :D
i love the smell
ruru i dont understand your clue
so much for burning the candles on both ends:D
dorens me too love the christmas tree smell:)
oh..I don't put up Christmas stuff
anyway, my decorating crew comes tomorrow night.. I make latkes (none of them are jewish) and they love them, and they help me counter the fact that my less than norman rockwell family will not be here
I'm already sick of Christmas commercials
well, walking all over the city with my friend today, then cooking dinner for my friend who helped put the tree in the stand, etc this evening. and i'm fading fast. oh i detest the commercials
I'm not sure what artist would do my family
dorens i havent had a family christmas in years
i love normal rockwll paintings
me neither mlf
i love christmas though
well we celeebrate christmukah. stockings and everything ... but this year my California son and daughterinlaw will be flying in on the 25th staying in NYC a couple of days and then we drive down to Baltimore to celebrate at my other son's house. will be fun and all, but not home.
so i'm having friends for dinner a few times over the next few weeks so i have somebody to enjoy the tree.
