congrats on finishing early too
I'm still plugging along
thanx mate. but you do it in your on power. and for me that is an amazing thing.
* own *

I have been finishing without lickety most days which is my personal goal
yay for you. i find lately i am getting about 3/4 done, sometimes more, before i hit a block. and even then, sometimes without looking at the list i find more.
well.. maybe not today for me.. I can't find my last six :D
I'm keeping at it

hi everyone
my photo is still a disaster i can't fix it, seeing my daughter tomorrow maybe she can help
g'day andree
Hi all again and hugs, Rose
hi liz
Hi Andree
Hope your daughter can fix the photo - it's a lovely shot.
{{hugs}} liz girl
Did you like the dolphin pic, Rose?
Aussie chat ðŸ˜
a bit panicky here. don's sister jeanette is on a pacific cruise. it left on thursday.
You're welcome too, Ru.
loved it, thanx liz
Is she near Vanuatu?
I'm sure that they wouldn't go close to a cyclone area.
yes, vanuatu and new caledonia
I'd think they'd reroute.
Do you know the name of the ship - you can probably google it.
we tried liz. they haven't up-dated their site
Phone the company?
i am sure they would put safety first
I agree with Andree - they wouldn't risk their ship or the passengers.
if there is nothing in the news, i am guessing it's okay. it takes a lot to sink one of those liners.
That's also very true.
i bet she's going to have quite a tale to tell when they get home again.
LOL! She probably will!
She will probably rush in like a hurricane
Like a whirlwind.
* giggle * ruru, it's not fang. it's the other sister. the one who is okay.
She left rose like a port in the storm
Hmmm! Wonders if Rose would be so panicky if it were Fang?
Doubt it
Somewhere, there are another 95 words!
Are you feeling better now Ru, or still bruised and sore?
It is a doozy liz
naughty people....but you are so right. selfish so-and-so.
Just my back is bugging me. My left shoulder is 80% better now
Sounds like you're slowly getting better. Backs take ages.
ruru??? did you fall over again?
Cant you buy fang a vacation at a shark infested resort area Rose?
And how about you, Rose? Still feeling good effects from the pain doc?
Just send her into the ocean around Aus!
No..just that one fall gr
yes, thanx liz. it is amazing the difference, even physio noticed.
That
That's such good news.
you're getting old, mate. sorry to break the sad news. it does takes us oldies longer to recover.
Happy you found this guy :)
so am i, liz.
How do you feel about the 10 hour hospitalisation thingy?
looking forward to it liz. i am so tired of aching all over.
Will you feel immediate effects, if it all goes well?
i should by that night, after the initial 10 hours. if i don't, i will have to be admitted for a further 4 days.
Hope it works - what a b'day pressie that'd be!
yeah....* grinning from ear to ear *
looks like our sprite has a really bad night.
Will Don be able to stay with you to keep you company during that day?
Hopefully just a Saturday morning lie in.
if he want's to stay, he can. but i am going to encourage him to go home and wait it out.
Be a bit boring for you, won't it. 10 hours is a long, long time.
can you sleep
hospital encourages us to bring books, computer etc whatever it takes. and yes andree, if i need to do so, i can sleep.
That's not so bad then.
and as i am being transfused with a narcotic, the nurses will be watching closely.
Would you listen to music or similar?
oh, yes, i have a 'walk-man' and there is tv available to each bed.
and the day will pass!
* grinning * with a new energised rose at the end....watch out world!!
Yay! Looking forward to a new energised Rose. Sounds like fun - not that the Rose now isn't fun ;)
ruru, i apologise, i see you are still with us. please...if you want to add to the chog, jump in. xoxox
I told him that he was welcome!
hang on, cyclone pam is on the news
Hope to catch you later or tomorrow, Rose. Got to get ready to go out now. Hugs - and to sprite if you see her.
they expect the effects to be catastrophic. vila is just about flattened. no power, no water. i just saw the market where don and i wandered around, where i bought my dress, and where we have some incredible photos of flowers for sale.
I saw that 3 cruise ships have docked in Newcastle.
enjoy, liz girl. will pass it on
Hugs
{{hugs}} liz
dinner ready. bbl. xoxoxox
good morning all
*dragging my butt * {{ hugs}} my darling. and liz sends her hugs also.
hello my dear friend *hug* How are you today?
doing well. let's see it's saturday. oh yes, had physio. she is very pleased with doc john taking up the re5.
I read your email. Sounds very very good, all in all. So good to know you are in good hands.
how is your poor tired, stressed body?
I am a mess, sweetie. On top of everything I just had a horrible dream. In which I confronted my father with his incest with me and my sister... a complete yelling match... and every muscle locked, of course.
oh, darling.....how awful!!
yeah. I crawled to Rob and had him hold me for a bit. For as long I could stand lying down. His hugs always help :)
yay for Rob. we both still have a lot to work through. it's weird. the more we try to sort out, the more appears. sometimes i think, c'mon...there CAN'T be anymore.
too true. It is like peeling an onion. Layer after layer after layer, and all the time getting closer to the core.
well, I guess the good news is that I yelled, and had voice, and he listened, and denied, and then started crying.
physio simply could not believe my left ankle and foot. she said it is a completely different to what she has seen. i left all the paperwork relating to where to obtain these 'socks'
awesome! That is wonderful, rose. She can surely help even more people now.
yay for nightmares which become dreams....{{hugs}} my darling
that's what she said. all she can currently offer is tubigrip which in my opinion doesn't really work all that well.
*giggles* where would all specialist be without the help of patients like you, hm?
* giggling*
so how was your dinner?
yummy as usual. * grin * meat pie, mashed potato, carrots, green beans and peas.
sounds lovely :)
starting to yawn....i think i need to go to bed, darling. {{hugs}} and hope to catch you tomorrow. i hope you catch plenty of down time today. xoxox
bye my dear friend. Sleep well. *hugs*
fi4flies. May you all have a blessed day and a peaceful night.
Good morning all.
Seriously, 15 Y words?
Good morning, everyone; Howdy sukee
Hi crossy.
i dont know how people finish these grids within an hour or less..
good morning, everyone!
Hi lbd.
Howdy, LBD, Ivesy
Challenging day, Ys and Js :)
the whole thing is a challenge today. 62 remaining, think i'll list soon
Loll, 155 left here
not bad for 20 minutes at it
But I am never in a rush with these grids. I leave that for those at the flip
I am not even concerned about finishing these day. I just like the game :)
My first year on Babble I used to drive myself crazy with trying to finish:)
hello everybody. Husband is home from the hospital, did surprisingly well and is sleeping, thank God.
(((Ruby)))
Hi ruby. Glad to hear that. How are you?
I, on the other hand, am ready to check myself into a rest home (I wish) as I am totally exhausted.
This has been truly awful, leaving him in a confused stateat a clinic too far for me to drive there. Luckily, I had friends to drive me some of the time and a couple brought soups.
I must look like a dead person who hasn't fallen over. I've lost almost 2 kgs in a week
and the taxi man put him to bed for me as there are too many stairs etc.
is anyone coming to help you, Ruby. Glad to he4 Burt is home and sleeping.
nays
Do you have some temporary in-home nursing set up, ruby??
Sorry, finger slipped
My housekeeper comes in the AM to make a fire, walk the dogs and feed the birds, even on days she doesn't work. I will have a nurse come in the afternoons to change the bandage and remove stitches etc.
I cant even help him out of bed.
is there a way to make a sleeping area on the main floor?
You need more than just a jurse popping by to change the bandages:(
nurse
no. But I don't mind giving him his meals in bed He has the TV and his own bathroom.
Hopefully, she'll walk himup and down the hallway
Breakfast time, be back later
I feel useless,but I can't risk tearing the peura again as its finally getting a little bit better afterall these awful, painful months
pleura*
Ruby, have you approached the “Rapport Laroque" home care program in your area? I read they they can offer some in-home assistance
The problem is that we'e not French and are not participants in their systems
You live there, and pay taxes..
If they isolate you from every goverment aid and system, that is terrible
I am lucky to be here ayway
could never have afforded a place like this in the US
ok, will not press you on it my Ruby Tuesday, but I still think you must have access to some government aid when it comes to senior care:(
I am just concerned for you:)
I will have to get one of my French friends to help me. Although my French is OK,it is very difficult to negotiate \"officialdom\' or even hospitals
I am trying to reach half before crashing but it's in doubt.
{{crossy}}, it is lovely to see you, my friend
My exotic french girl friend:))
you should see me now' I look like I'm dead but just haven't fallen over yet
hah, half and bye
If you we not so worn out and tired I would be making internet phone calls on your behalf and setting a fire under some of these government support programs that are over there.. get some rest my dear:)
xx
The internet is an amazing thing. I can cause chaos all over the world:))
YAAAA! THE BIRDS ARE BACK!!.. so nice to hear them:) we were awoken by the sounds of a pair of morning doves outside our window:)

hi welki, flosey
and now it is time for Crossy's poem of the day!!
"Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune--without the words, And never stops at all, And sweetest in the gale is heard; And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm. I've heard it in the chillest land, And on the strangest sea; Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me."--Emily Dickinson
mornin' crossy
Found this one quite nice:)
Howdy, Bichon
hi crossy
lovely poem, Crossy
HGowdy, Welki:)
lol, My fingers are fumbling over they keyboard
Wow! Just getting up to speed on the California water crisis. Seems they are scraping the bottom of their water supplies, and many in the know over there are of the opinion that there is only a year or so left as far as ground water supplies are concerned :(
I have a book of Emily Dickinson's poems that I read often. Thanks.

hello again
mmm... potato pancakes with diced onions and shaved cheese mixed in...:)
With bacon so expensive, I must alter my crossy epic breakfasts:(
so, it is potato pancakes with ice cold apple sauce or sour cream with chives for dipping, a nice small bowl of diced peaches in light syrup and crunchy toasted english muffins with apple jelly:)
been a while since I have done food porn:)
Even if I was not hungry, your descriptions of your breakfasts make me drool.
:)
nancy he always has wonderful sounding breakfasts i pretty much think everyday
I know, I feel like I gain 5 pounds every time I read about one.
I love cooking breakfast food, but i am afraid i have spoiled my family...
and i thought i was the only one:) i have already eaten as well but it still...
cross you are supposed to eat breakfast everday
We have a restaurant here called Waffle House i would eat the same type of breakfast there everyday if i could
breakfast is our main meal, so I always go overboard. lunch is soup sandwich sort of thing , and our dinners are usually very light.
I will cook a roast when it is on sale, but of late even that costs the moon and the stars:( been eating more fish instead
the problem here is i would like to at least eat a bowl of cereal in the AM but hubby and i are usually hungry so he makes "lunch" instead.. he is usually hungry within a few hours ..not me
brb
well, you are welcome to come to Florida,(Melbourne, your namesake city) and cook breakfast anytime you want to.
I would love nothing better, nancy
hi Nancy.. my bro lives in Melbourne Beach
Please tell me you ovvasionally allow yourself bacon, crossy!
I want to hit your town and the aussie city as well:)
Don't you appreciate the snazzy character of substituting v's for c's!
Our city was named after the aussie city.
at $6.00 for 3/4 of a pound it is a very rare treat now. My problem is that I refuse tu buy cut-rate bacon
I lived in Cocoa, and in Rockledge, both quite close to Melbourne
I love it, helen; reminds me of olde English
Our family had the name long before the aussie city:)
I know what you mean - betteer no bacon than thin, tasteless bacon.
Yes, Coca and Rockledge and Melbourne Beach are all just a hop, skip and a jump from where I am.
agreed, helen:)
My typing is truly Olde Englishe thismorning!
yaa for Helen!
Cocoa that is

AR7?
90 to go. Off to the ski area first.
All us locals are avoiding the ski hill like the plague this coming week. It is going to be mayhem.
The real smart ones will get everything done today and stock up and hunker down for the next week, leave the roads to our visitors:)
how much snow do you have cross?
we have rain here
and then in two months prom night starts and you're stuck in doors every weekend .... poor crossy
last I heard, there was a two foot base on the hills. In town we had two days of melt so fart, but the vast majority of snow remains
hi dose
prom is not a big deal
... morning .... oops it's afternoon
Just the grad parties in June, but that is just a weekend thing
This week is when they destroy the place. is more hectic that Chritmas break
... you're too far from Wasaga? ... ... It's just I've heard of plans for it already ... ...
Collingwood
I am 10 min from Wasaga
Lived there for a while, bit it is insane in summer
used to rent cottages there for a time.
got tired of rebuilding the things
... wouldn't doubt it ... it's just the conversation was a group of Pakistani boys who had never been out from under parents watchful eye before ... and they had plans
... i'm sure you'll be pulling them from some ditch
I can tell you that they do not care in the slightest if they get their damage deposit back or not. For the ski chalets, we used to ask a 5k damage deposit for a 8 person unit.
Only took care of the chalets for a year.. was afraid of getting a disease during the clean-up rebuilding process:(
Hanta virus crossy?
in one unit they took all the inside doors off, smashed them down to kindling and burnt them in the fire place, broke 5 windows and put their smokes out on the rugs for the entire weekend
anything is possible bichon
wow! That sounds insane! I can't imagine.
Damage e repair, inc labour and repainting 4 rooms came to 30k. Daddy was a big city lawyer and his son and buddies used hios CC
There was a case of Hanta vice in New York State a number of years back. Person was weep up dirt that included mouse droppings
*virus
in the summer cottages in wasaga, we had one unit wihere som 18 year old girl had a bid trip, thought bugs were crawling on her. She broke the toilet with a hammer and used the shards to try and scrape the bugs off of her arm... that was a bad one...
please excuse typos
We burnt out from cottage/ chalet rentals in 2 years. was more than enough
And that is life in a tourist town lol!
... oh well ... just a start ... gotta go ... luck to all
The best time is September till there is snow coverage on the hills. We get 2-3 months all to ourselves:)
tc dose
Do not know about Hanta virus, Bichon, but with all the blood I have cleaned up over that time period, hep C was certainly possible without taking precautions.
a nurses nightmare!
Glad I am out of that business and the petroleum business:)
yes, i am sure nurses must always be on guard.
Hanta virus is usually found out west, that's why a case in New York was so weird
I notice things have gone awfully quiet with the Ebola virus
front page for weeks--- then nothing.
its back in the news now though.

<---knows how to test out a new mattress
Tempurpedic, save your money. Claim they never sag. Well, they sag. Ours lasted about 8 years. We went back to a coil/spring mattress w/a pillow top.
Hopefully, my sacro joints will re-align now and be happy.
what's a sacro joint?
It is in the pelvis, Ruru.
Sacro-iliac. Lower spinal joints.
oh
I'm hoping to realign my joints soon too
Has anyone ever shopped on Overstock.com?
a long time ago, I think we bought an over the stove exhaust hood from them, MLF
saved mucho $$$
Sure, MLF. It's a lot like Amazon.
aloy do you have to open an accoun with ehm or can you just buy something?
account
with them ..sorry
sorry, I just can't remember MLF
thank you aloy..i usually just go broke looking through it lol
Wayfair.com is yummy too, MLF. What are you shopping for?
judi i know it says something about account on the page but i was hoping to not have to put much info in. I dont have email and if i did i dont need adverts from them
judi i tried once to get on the wayfair webpage. i got to the first page but after that it wouldnt let me look further. I hear the commercials for wayfair all the time
Hmm. I think you can shop online and order stuff via an 800 number. Otherwise, you can just set up a free e-mail with hotmail and just ignore it. That way, you get into the site and e-mails are diverted.
i saw some watches i really like but the original prices for the actual webpage would be about 1000 bucks..NO WAY LOL
Expensive taste. Diva!
on overstock.com
well i didnt know lol
versus versace
You could get a yeti produced watch... Versquatchie.
Or is it "versqwatchie"?
Versquatchie watches are abominable
Every year or so I replace the battery ($5.00) in my $15.00 Walmart watch.. am now at the point that I have paid more for batteries than for the watch!
LOL Judi, g1
And yeti tells time accurately.
hasn't missed a minute yeti
how do you tell the time .. when the big foot is on the 12?
I have some Swatch watches, if you are interested.
LOL ruru.. now that was really good!
:D
Actually, the Versqwatchie tells time, but no one ever sees it.
*Donatella has a big pinch in her neck right now in Florida*
lolol ..
sorry pic is a bit wide but they come in solid colors and dif colored faces
Pretty!
judi i saw some on the swatch page but a lot were saying that the decoration weiher it be animal print or dots/lien whatever tends to peel off. i love swatch and havent had one since i was in jr high
I love my Swatches, but I don't wear a watch anymore. I have some nifty Fossil ones too.
that one is a little too colorful for me mlf
ty judi. how do i do a tiny url.? would it be www.babble.com/tinyurl?
I like simple watches.. clean looks.. like movado
I don't use tinyurl. Not sure.
judi i think if i have it it might just need to be updated new battery but the ticking uggh
ruru they have a brown one in the style in my pic
at overstock.com. i saw a silver one but not sue which page it was
Never could hear the ticking of the swatch or fossil. Very quiet.
i have a fossil watch now but its the digital and analog.. i love it but its too big and the digital part needs batteries
in a quiet room you can lol
like a sanitarium MLF?
:D
I can sympathize. I hate any kind of ticking or gonging wall clock. Want to take a sledgehammer to those damn things.
Reminds me of "The Telltale Heart".
I would think cuckoo clocks would be big around here.. what do I know?
They are for the birds, ruru.
lol
ruru i wore the swatch watch in junior high school so was in a classroom
:D.. just teasing
wall clocks that tick put me in a weird trance lol
sort
of
My grandparents used to have a clock that gonged every 1/2 hour and hour. Never slept a wink at their house.
fw just in time as the red bars have returned, ugh.. fun chatting with you all.. ciao for now
judi i had a wall clock i loved from my parents house that needed to be fixed it couldnt be unfortunately but it had a face and a pendulum. and 4 shelves/two on either side i very much miss that clock
i think fossil has gone much "classier now but i cant say that for sure
Haven't really paid attention to watch fashion in a long time. Saving my tickers for when they come back in vogue.
i really want a watch that is easy to read
Dude who delivered the mattress was wearing an Apple watch.
pb for me
i want a watch that is fun and not too basic
Could I get a clue for sh6/24, please?
The one you talk into judi?
You could try looking on E-Bay for used Versace watches.
i dont do ebay but thanks
Yes, MLF. And he was talking into it as he was leaving our house. I think they are rather silly. Seems like they would be good for kids. Tiny fingers could work the touch screen on them.
that was another kind i wanted.. not Apple but a touch screen
marc am looking now
Cats running amok!
my cat is sleeping by my husband
Don't have a sh6/24 yet, marc.
i cant find it either so far
Just found it. Yiddish. Spread for your bagel.

Thanks
We will be getting ready to leave for a trip on St. Patrick's day. No celebrating
where are you going?
To California to visit the grandkids and their parents
cool...
At least the weather will be much better
yes...i leave for Spain on Thurs.....weather there should be warmer than here, too....
Spain, yummy
Where are you going pen? We're off to Majorca on Friday but long range weather forecast says rain!
going on a "If it's Tuesday, it must be Madrid" tour.....
That's too bad. Definitely not going to rain in California
lol
I just kept searching different forecasts till I found one that didn't give rain. That's the one I'm believing :)
Have a lovely time with the grandkids bichon
good idea...
I looked at the forecast for Majorca and Tues. looks nice, but not overly warm. There was a lot of rain
Hey everybody. Back again. Lucky you, Chrissie, off to Majorca. Spain will be awash with Babblers over the next while! Olé!!
da7, please?
not at night...
Yes that is the first part
that is the whole thing....;o)
thanks got it
yw...
LOL, great profile pic, Bich. I envy you your trip to CA. About 8 years ago, I spent St Patricks Day in San Fran. It was just the the best Paddy's Day ever. I drank green beer, (we don't get green beer here), and I was violently ill. The puke was green, and I thought I was dying - having forgotten that I drank green beer!
Sorry. Probably too much information....
lol...
Are you going on an organised tour, Pen, or are you making your own way around?
organized tour....
it's a place i have never been.....hard to find travel companions who want to travel, can afford it, and have the time....
Could I get a clue for the first ar6/18, please?
ar 6.....most of your English butt + i am drinking white w***....
got that one it is the last ar6/18, I need the first one, please
the first one just adds a letter to the word before (not sure if that is the first....haven't listed)
Yup, Pen... It can be difficult finding compatible travelling companions. I've been to Spain many times. It's very close to here, and despite what Chrissie says, almost guaranteed sunshine, which we certainly do not have here.
failte, soodle! hey all!
hi...
looking at the weather...we are on the cusp between 3-6 and 6-10 inches....ugh....
Found it thanks
yw...
Hiya Stid. Happy St Patricks Weekend. :-)
Hi Soodle. I like your prediction for sunshine :)
Chrissie, for us rain-sodden residents of the British Isles, Spain is always Utopia! Where in Majorca are you going? I love Santa Ponsa, the horseshoe ha

hello everyone - checking in from Vancouver today
Cala Bona, south east coast
I envy you! And Hi, Nan. How is Vancouver?
I can't do heat, I have gaelic colouring, so this time of year is fine for me to holiday there
Ooh. I love sun. Park me on a sunbed, with waiter service, and come back for me a week later. As long as I have my music in my ears, and plenty of books on the kindle, I am very low maintenance on holiday.

hello again...
Hi pen
Hi, chrissie
(((Jaxx)))
had a huge row with husband on Thursday. we still are not right.
Do you want me to come and bang your heads together ;)
Only kidding!
Babble makes a nice escape
You can come and strangle him if you like. We don't fall out very often (twice in 45 years) but when we do it is a biggie
I am still in shock at what he said to me and about me.
he on the other hand is going about the house singing 'o sole mio' as if he didn't say a word and nothing is wrong
oh jaxx. I just came in and wish you well. It is hard to feel distanced from the one you love.
hello to all my friends here!
Will you talk it out?
My daughter was the cause of it and then things just got away from us.
I am sure you will talk it out if you have been together 45 years. It just takes a little while until hurt feelings cool down.
Thanks, bugs. we have a family funeral in Manchester on Tuesday and I hope I can get past it by then
Harder to talk it out if he's ignoring it
That could well be one reason why you were both so easily out of sorts to begin with. I am sorry you have so much going on in your life.
take heart. We all love you
You can tell I'm upset I couldn't do my knitting as the pattern which was in my head has also left me
Hear, hear
Thanks, both of you.
i have the prospect of an op on my neck to look forward to after all this has calmed down. i am worried already
Hello!
Hi, phan
Have you seen the consultant now?
Hi phan
hi phand
hope all is well.
The first one. there is a surgeon to come after I have two scans and a bone density scan
I have a tumour, probably benign, on one or more of the parathyroid glands in my neck
(((jaxx))) hope it turns out to be nothing!!
oh no! Praying it is in fact benign.
Extra prayers for you jaxx
I have a choice of having the op or leaving it and ending up with kidney problems and fragile bones. No choice really
I have hogged the chat for long enough. I have a thriller waiting for me by my bed. that will take my mind off all my woes.
be well jaxx - hugs from all of us
I just did some super fast research and it loks like the complications of not doing anything far outway the risks of treating it. I am sure all will be weill, as Dame Julian of Norwich said.
You are a nice crowd. I feel better already. take care all of you. off to my book now.
I was also checking out your condition jaxx and agree with bugsaw
the word "tumour" just takes the wind out of you doesn't it?
It does bugs
Off to bed too. Night all
can anybody clue the fe7 or the last pe6?
fe7 carry cars from island to island
pe + the marquis de ****
thank you both, that's firewords! I thought I had tried that fe7 but alas
yay dan!
HEy Sue! are thing settling down for you yet or does the cause still elude you.
hi bugs, not yet,and I have about reached my limit for sitting at the computer, unfortunately. MRI on Tuesday, hoping for answers. Or maybe it will just go away. That would be ok too.
so I am off - hugs and chocolates to all!
hugs to you both

'evening, everyone
hello, Welki!
Hi
That's one big spoodle ..
I also say good evening everyone.
I hear you're having lovely spring weather, welki :-)
hey all, just getting in. Is it my imagination, or is this grid tough after halfway?
hello ladies. I am not liking this grid much. It is tough stid.
Hi Bugs :-)
Hi diane.
Hi Stid,... I have 46 left and not one word is jumping out at me!
Hey stid, do you have a colour that looks good on you?
I have 16 left. My Words is my friend at this point.
hey bugs
and hello diane. sorry, was eating yummy salad that Tom made me.
I actually don't know what looks good on me anymore, bugs -- I have been wearing a lot of reds, blues and grays lately. The greens and teal-turquoise colors I used to enjoy aren't working for me at the moment.
97 to go here. I'm going to licketyland.
hubby cooked tonight too..... In N Out burgers on the patio!!
and Mr Bugs made salsa with chips. Aren't we lucky ladies?
And I seem to have hit a mystery key on my laptop..... a question mark is now É and an apostrophe is now è I have to reboot as I donèt know what key I hit :-)
BRB
yum! YAY mr bugs!
It is odd how colours look different on us? I used to look sharp in red but now I look like I am drunk.
LOL diane... I have done that so many times.
I think so much depends on the undertones of colors. Actually, I look pretty good in olive green... :-) and a light heathered gray-green t-shirt I had looked really good on me, but I wore it out.
*arrest me red*
I am still above 100... *sigh*
that was the colour ruru. Now purple works
I wear a lot of grey and black.. and blues
LOL hey ruru! what's your favorite color? Thinking royal blue, or regal red.
:-)
LOL
not plaid bermuda shorts with black socks?
I look ok in blue
ha..
why do you have a great dane in your icon, ruru?
plaid makes my ass look big
he's a lap dog stid..
All is well? Yes !
LOL ruru!
I have a certain affinity to lap dogs lately I guess
That picture is a riot. Jilli would love it if she ever came here any more. I don't think she does and I miss her

Later, Bugs....have fun !
