Just here for a few minutes but hi and hugs - happy to read that you're feeling so well, Rose - and that you're not doing too much.

2:04 am

*hugs Liz* And how was your day/

2:04 am

{{hugs}} and hi liz girl

2:04 am

OK thanks - nice but not special?

2:05 am

Don't know why I put a ?

2:05 am

liz, seven more sleeps....

2:05 am

maybe that was my ? that I turned into a / by accident?

2:05 am

and nothing wrong with a nice day :D

2:05 am

Oh yes. That's definitely it ;)

2:06 am

*grin*

2:07 am

I was thinking something very similar, Rose.

2:07 am

In fact as i drove back from the gym.

2:07 am

am so excited for you!

2:08 am

Me too :)

2:08 am

*wriggling in my chair with excitement*

2:09 am

Lots of excited people is a very good thing.

2:09 am

But I have to go now - time for Sabbath and stuff. BBL Hugs to you both.

2:10 am

enjoy liz.

2:10 am

absolutely. shabbat shalom, Liz :)

2:10 am

:)

2:12 am

lol....i have to share with you. it must be the way don walks. but when he takes his shoes off his socks have moved around his foot until the sole is on the top of his foot. i really don't know how he does it.....lolol

2:14 am

lolllll that is funny.

2:15 am

it gets me every time, i just have to giggle when i see it.

2:16 am

i wonder if there is anyone else in the world whose socks do that?

2:16 am

so would I. twisty feet :)

2:18 am

how are you feeling about the diet now? are you still comfortable with it?

2:20 am

sorry sweetie, my girl needed me for a spell. back now

2:21 am

np's sprite. is she okay?

2:21 am

yeah am ok with the diet so far. giving it a serious chance.

2:22 am

good for you, dear. i am so proud of you.

2:22 am

she is fine :D She is helping the kids that have their finals this year to organise some pranks in school. Their theme is superheroes. I made her a SuperMario hat yesterday.

2:23 am

oh, no.....lol.....i hope she gets pics.

2:24 am

usually, the school is closed in the evenings and nights. But the theater group perform their musical and so some kids could get into the school at night... set up a zillion cups with a bit of water in the classroom of their most hated teacher.

2:25 am

*chuckling for real* very inventive

2:25 am

and harmless fun.

2:26 am

absolutely.

2:26 am

lol, caya wears a blue pair of trousers and a red shirt, and has her Mario cap in her bag. She has programmed her mobile phone to ring with the Mario tune

2:27 am

clever girl... what a hoot!

2:27 am

another girl is gonna tie-rip the bicycles together, and once that is done, she will ring up Caya, who will put on her cap in class, stand up and walk away, opening all classrooms on her way out

2:28 am

wish I could see the faces of the teachers, lol

2:28 am

such fun...

2:29 am

I remember we took revenge on our math teacher, who was, to put it mildly, an evil witch of a bitch. No kidding. And she liked her classroom to be very warm, around 25 C.

2:30 am

uh oh.... what did you do ?

2:30 am

and we always asked to lower it, or open a window. Which she ignored. So we turned down the wand heater, which she turned back up high. So we used to hide the knob. About which she always made quite a scene

2:31 am

lollllll

2:31 am

and for our prank, we collected ALL the heater knobs of the whole school and put them on her desk. She had a litter of kittens, she was so mad.

2:32 am

oh, no..... i bet she turned purple.

2:32 am

yeah she was livid. Wish we had thought of those cups with water. That would have been perfect, as an added bonus, lol.

2:33 am

what a pity the snow season is over... you could have filled the ro4 with snow.

2:38 am

ohhhh that would have been cool too

2:38 am

ohhhh LOL.... Caya just told me that she heard yesterday there will be job interviews at school today!

2:39 am

imagine, going to a job interview and landing in the midst of a finals prank!

2:41 am

you would probably turn around and head for the hills, thinking that the whole school was actually a nut-house.

2:41 am

yeah, lol. I am picturing someone doing their best to convince the school to hire them... and then turning around and saying: good luck finding people who want to work here!

2:42 am

roflol....

2:42 am

actually, I think it should help the selection process. If people can handle this, they can handle everything.

2:43 am

it is lovely, btw... my girl has this bouncy energy now, having so much fun in advance :D

2:45 am

i bet it is lovely to see. i can imagine all the giggling .

2:45 am

she has one final exam this year, taking her English exam a year earlier. So the final class said she qualified for being part of the pranks!

2:46 am

she just showed me her outfit. It is brilliant. You wouldn't think of Mario without the cap at first. But once she puts that cap on, you cannot see anything other than the Mario outfit.

2:48 am

brilliant sprite. very clever both of you.

2:49 am

oh this is all Caya. All I did was make her the cap to her specifications

2:52 am

bless her. she is so clever.

2:53 am

*proud mum*

2:53 am

as you should be, sprite. and how's the boyo? has he settled yet ?

2:55 am

mwah, not really. Tried to talk it out with him, got only more attitude. So I decided he could suit himself, and told him in clear terms what I will and won't accept from him, since he is NOT my equal.

2:56 am

yay you sprite. little twerp... let me get my hands on him...

2:56 am

he hates it when I point that out to him, but as long as he is not willing to talk things out like an adult, he will have to accept being treated like a child.

2:57 am

of course, sprite. and has he made a decision about education versus going out to work?

2:58 am

yeah, he will go to the university next year. Let's hope it will work out.

2:59 am

*fingers crossed*

2:59 am

you and me both. Stupid git. Sigh.

3:04 am

and i am back. was looking up info on the waler horse.

3:05 am

waler horse? Wb, btw

3:07 am

yes, the waler horse. apparently a breed developed in the 19th century by cross-breeding several breeds. it is what thelight-horse brigade rode into battle.

3:08 am

an australian breed of horse.

3:08 am

they are beautiful

3:10 am

aren't they just? and a good ride too.

3:14 am

*giggles* Just like us.

3:14 am

wicked lady..... lollllll

3:14 am

:D

3:16 am

it is a very easy grid today, isn't it?

3:16 am

yes it is. i flew through it.

3:17 am

same here. And I found all biggies before halfway and by myself too. Rarely happens.

3:18 am

ditto. when i slowed down, i only had 4's, 5's and a few 6's to go.

3:19 am

:) nice for a change!

3:19 am

fireflies

3:21 am

my turn to cook today. Am gonna make a huge pan of soup. And I might try to make a 'bread' that is low in carbs. Found some recipes online.

3:21 am

WTG SPRITE!!!

3:21 am

thank you, darling

3:22 am

so do you have to shop first?

3:23 am

yeah :(

3:23 am

ugh....

3:27 am

and I have to go to the pet store too, to get new food for terra. Ah well, can't be helped.

3:27 am

are both stores/shops close together?

3:29 am

no, not at all. Other side of town.

3:29 am

oh, that's not good.

3:32 am

my dear friend, I am off to make my list and get the groceries. Sorry about not emailing the last few days... don't have the energy to spare, tbh. Will catch up with you soon. *hugs* and enjoy another painfree, hotflashesfree night :)

3:33 am

darling girl, try and relax in between chores. pfft emails. when you are ready. xoxoxox sweetie.

3:36 am

re 8/50; re 9/66 ?

3:39 am

3:39 am

sorry

3:39 am

5:02 am

Good morning, everybody:)

5:04 am

g'day crossy

5:04 am

How is rose this fine day?

5:08 am

doing goodly, thanx, mate. and you?

5:11 am

Not too bad at all. like the man said, every day on this die of the dirt is a good day:)

5:11 am

side

5:13 am

true that...lol

5:14 am

I love you ladies in the morning, so do not get me wrong, but I find that whenever you all go on about how easy a particular grid is, I get my ankles chewed up by it:))

5:15 am

*chuckling for real* okay....keeping my fingers zipped.

5:15 am

You are my inspiration for each and every grid:)

5:19 am

This particular grid remind he of one of those yappy, tiny, over-bred Yorkies, or even worse one of those Chihuahuas they used to pump out of puppy mills that bare their teeth at you all the time while going bug-eyed :)

5:19 am

But then again I have not had my tea yet:)

5:20 am

oh dear crossy. how poetic of you....

5:20 am

I have a way about me:)

5:21 am

Though i am improving;people do not reach for the pepper spray near as much as they used to. good thing too; I was tired of everything tasting like tex-mex:)

5:22 am

lol, I better get a tea brb

5:22 am

roflol

5:25 am

Morning.

5:26 am

g'day sukee. xoxox

5:27 am

Hi Rose

5:29 am

how are you sukee? how's the weather?

5:29 am

It is cold, -2.

5:30 am

I ditched my spring jacket for my fleece.

5:30 am

gosh, i thought you were heading into spring.

5:31 am

So did I :) It will be in the double digits next week so they say.

5:31 am

i had my second infusion therapy 3 days ago.i have no pain, no cramps, and no spasms.

5:31 am

That is good to hear.

5:32 am

double digits are good.

5:37 am

The news is all about the impending royal baby...

5:39 am

lucky you. all we are getting is ANZAC day celebrations. * sigh *

5:43 am

Crossy is back with tea in hand. Should be better now:))

5:45 am

Minus 2C here as well, Sukee. No skinny-dipping just yet:)

5:45 am

Hi crossy.

5:45 am

Snow of the tops of the houses across the road again this morning:(

5:46 am

Woke up to snow on the roofs on Thursday.

5:46 am

Yup, same here

5:46 am

Once again mini-skirts were few and far between;((

5:47 am

I guess spring will come eventually.

5:47 am

yeah ... in 2017

5:47 am

yes, in august, just before the trees shed their leaves in preparation for winter:/

5:50 am

But when it gets me down, I just think of my bother in Vegas who is even now battening down the hatches for 3 months of 100+ F

5:51 am

His electric bill in summer is commonly $1200/ month plus because of the two central air units bolted to the side of his place

5:52 am

That would be tough.

5:53 am

says he tries to keep it 85F in the house for June, July, August

5:53 am

If I lived there I think I would spend a lot of time in the casinos :)

5:54 am

I think that was the point of it all. I mean what a god-forsaken place to build something lol

5:55 am

You look at the old pics when the first few buildings went in and it is nothing but a sand blasted, sun scorched bit of desolation.

5:58 am

But my brother loves the night-life and the poker table. Seems to suit him. I, on the other hand need greenery, forests, a nice body of water or a mountain stream. i would wither and dies in Vegas.

5:58 am

Okay, I have to go get ready to go out.

5:58 am

I think Las Vegas is a place to visit for a weekend :)

5:58 am

cool. Haver a good day, sukee

5:59 am

See you tomorrow probably :)

5:59 am

yup:)

5:59 am

SAME TIME, SAME STATION;)

5:59 am

sorry caps

could I get a clue for re8, please?

6:12 am

not soft Marc

6:12 am

re 8/50 to make firm again

6:14 am

I love it what I type in a wrong word and it takes:)

6:14 am

... don't forget to make a 9 out of it

6:17 am

ty, dose. I have had the 8 for some time, but never thought to pl it:)

6:17 am

... half way ... and the battery is dying on the laptop ... gotta go ... luck ... and heat ... to all

6:18 am

tc, dose

6:37 am

mmmm... toasted poppy seed bagels with creamery butter and just a touch of raspberry jam:)

6:38 am

Calls for another cuppa:)

6:42 am

for heavens sake, crossy. just a touch of raspberry jam?? slather it on, man !!

6:43 am

I have a beard, rosie. I have to make all things like jam, honey and peanut butter "just a touch" or I end up saving it all in my beard for afternoon snacks;))

6:45 am

and the problem is?? don has a beard also. i love going through his beard for the afters.

6:45 am

lol, love that you "go for the afters"

6:49 am

Problem with going for afters is there may be the occasion hairball hazard:))

6:50 am

occasional

6:50 am

* spit, spit, spit * i don't know what you mean !!

6:51 am

lol!

6:51 am

At all functions everyone takes great delight in serving us soup:)

6:53 am

Made everyone laugh one time by whipping out a bendy straw and working on my soup that way

6:55 am

i promise to make you my split pea and ham soup. served with frankfurters and croutons. so thick, the spoon stands up in the middle of the bowl.

6:56 am

you just about need a fork to eat it.

6:57 am

ohh.. that sounds so good...

7:00 am

i used to serve it on stormy saturday nights. it was full of pureed carrots, celery and onions. the kids never knew they were eating so much vegetables.

7:01 am

Sounds like a soup capable of feeding an army

7:02 am

of course, the other version doesn't have frankfurters i n it. it has a whole meat pie floating in the bowl and is called a south australian floater.

7:02 am

If you get time, rosie, would you email me the recipe for that?

7:02 am

lol... np's crossy.

7:03 am

the pea, ham, and frankfurter soup that is

7:03 am

yummers:)

7:03 am

ok, must head to class. You have a good rest, Rose, and I shall see you later.

7:04 am

i have to go now, but will look out the recipe over the next day or two.

7:04 am

xoxox crossy. nice to see you, mate

7:11 am

Good Morning Friends

7:11 am

Hi River. Cold up your way

7:12 am

sure is and snowed last night.....ugh! I think someone forgot to remind mother nature it is spring!

7:15 am

I remember late april being a glorious time

7:16 am

I have memories of that too bichon, would like to live it in real time

7:19 am

hello dear friends - feeling your pain, riverdance.

7:20 am

Hi Trif...yes you are not that far from me and you actually got hit worse with the snow over the winter.

7:20 am

I actually remember last spring being much worse - I remember being wrapped up in quilts to watch my daughter in a track meet - in MAY

7:20 am

I work for an insurance company and the claims coming in for collapses and ice dams in Mass are incredible

7:21 am

I'll bet. I actually started totting up all the things that were damaged beyond repair at my house, and its a surprising amount!

7:23 am

but other things survived - my perennials, for one, although I feared many would be lost, being under the snow cover for three straight months with no light or air

7:23 am

the snow acted like insulation - they are fine

7:23 am

I had quite of bit of winter kill with my plants. Worked in my gardens last weekend when spring WAS her for 2 days.

7:24 am

me too. I have so many things to dig up - mr. hate never met an invasive he didn't love, and Im still trying to put it all back to rights

7:25 am

I think the sand and salt is what got to mine. I had to have my driveway sanded many times and then the plows would push the next storms snow with sand up on the gardens that border the driveway.

7:25 am

I think everything in the garden survived

7:25 am

oh yuck. I guess you should plant onions next to your driveway?

7:25 am

lol...

7:26 am

that's great bichon!

7:26 am

But it's so wet out there, I can't imagine doing anything. I have been pulling up maple tree seedlings

7:27 am

my crabapple tree and barberry bush did just fine. Lilies are coming up. Forsythia is starting to bloom. I cant complain really. I did notice alot of beebalm died and my black eyed susans but over all I guess it is OK

7:27 am

wet is good - much easier to pull stuff out of wet ground

7:27 am

the stuff I wish would die did just fine - isn't that always the way?

7:27 am

me too bichon and so many acorns that were taking hold. I ripped out vines that took over that I couldnt do last year with all my pain.

7:28 am

I worked one hard day last Saturday, and blew my sciatica out. it's SO frustrating, as I have a lot to do, and, as you all know, gardens wait for no one.

7:29 am

I have really not done anything with my garden since my ex left 3 years ago. I just couldnt with my hip and back. But I am alive again and enjoyed working out there last weekend. I do know I have muscles that havent been used in a long time as they said hello this week.

7:29 am

I had to seed an area which we had dug up last fall

7:29 am

good morning all

7:29 am

hi peri

7:29 am

Oh, river, we are such kindred spirits....

7:29 am

morning peri

7:29 am

hello peri

7:30 am

and my son came to help with picking up all the leaves and debris that I cleaned out of the gardens.

7:31 am

wow - I remember when he had surgery! glad to hear he is back to rights

7:32 am

He is great - nothing stopping him. Track season right now!

7:32 am

Yes, remember that too.

7:32 am

I remember that time too, glad it is way in the past

7:32 am

he was 14 when he collapsed and had surgery. He is now 18. Time sure flies and it is amazing we have been chatting that long.

7:33 am

Doesn't it seem like we just met?

7:33 am

You are very lucky to have chosen the right place for him to have surgery

7:33 am

Hello Annie

7:33 am

speaking of exes, mine is all over the grid today = qu5.16 x 2, ho7.36.....busy guy

7:33 am

Hi Annie

7:33 am

Nothing better than Boston Childrens Hospital

7:33 am

HI bichon

7:34 am

time absolutely flies!

7:34 am

lol.....oh Trif, that is priceless!

7:34 am

funny, Trif

7:35 am

let's throw in the wh5.20 too. why not?

7:35 am

what is the ho 7?

7:36 am

think "buried alive" reality show, bichon

7:36 am

with the wh5/20, I am sure he ha7/36

7:37 am

sorry....didnt mean to offend with that one but couldn't help myself

7:37 am

he IS the wh5, river

7:37 am

He was a ho as well as a qu 5?

7:37 am

I should have said "as the who5"

7:38 am

I hope he doesn't. I hope it's broken

7:38 am

snort...

7:39 am

true fact: he made tertiare walk down my looooong driveway in the pouring rain, pitch black the other night. He's afraid the branches on the side of my driveway will scratch his new Mercedes.

7:39 am

father of the year I see

7:40 am

or NOT

7:40 am

sounds like someone I was once married to a long long time ago. my second hubby would have carried her.

7:40 am

hey there annie!

7:40 am

tertiare wants to key his car...snort

7:40 am

Hi Trif :)

7:41 am

So I am sure you all remember me talking about my daughter starting college and art schools and all of that. Well today is her last day of class and she graduate on May 17. Wow!

7:41 am

wow!!!! my goodness! where did she end up going?

7:41 am

River, How wonderful! Congrats to her.

7:42 am

First year was at Chester College. But they closed for lack of money. She transferred to the New Hampshire Institute of Art and has been there since. She moved back home a couple weeks ago so my house is a disaster zone with her stuff everywhere.

7:43 am

She didnt want to pay rent for April. So has been commuting her last three weeks.

7:43 am

oh, I know that scenario all too well....but congratulations! what a wonderful right of passage for you all

7:43 am

And my Keith starts college in the fall. Big year for both my kids.

7:44 am

well done you only having to pay tuition one at a time!

7:44 am

I have set up the kids playroom in the basement for her office. They didn't use it anymore. So she has her space for her business.

7:45 am

she started a business already? that girl is on top of things!!!

7:45 am

True, but they will still have debt coming out. I cant afford it all. Keith will have less debt as he plans to commute his first two years and live at home.

7:46 am

She started her business a couple years ago but hasn't actually done the legal stuff. She is a photographer and has been doing weddings and such. Once she graduates she will have to register her business name and all that goes with it. Getting paid under the table days will be over.

7:47 am

She has actually been working as a second shooter for another photographer for 4 years. This other woman is extremely busy and has been referring Sarah on weddings she herself cant take. She is mentoring her.

7:48 am

that is so great

7:48 am

what a blessing

7:48 am

I hope it all works out for her because she will drive me crazy if she has to live we me for life.....lol!

7:49 am

I must get to work now - been goofing off for awhile. Have a great day everyone and lovely chatting with you.

7:49 am

THINK SPRING

9:09 am

Fresh snow too.

9:10 am

really?!

9:11 am

lol. Sounds brisk, Scrabbler. Figures, right? I remember the day we had our new windows installed. It was mid-February. Literally the coldest day of the year. It was about 18 degrees. I was more worried about the cats escaping. Fortunately, the cats were smart enough to huddle next to my husband for warmth.

9:12 am

smart cats

9:19 am

hego, love your icon

9:19 am

lol, ty Annie.

9:26 am

I was just talking with the one guy. He is a kayaker and saw my kayaks in the garage.

9:27 am

is he married?

9:28 am

Yes, Hego, great icon. I wanted to smack my office computer yesterday. We are installing flash drives that allow e-prescribing of controlled substances. It wouldn't work after multiple attempts. I was ready to cry.

9:28 am

Soooo frustrating!

9:28 am

Hm, he is wearing work gloves so I cannot look for a ring. We talked about all of the rivers we have each addled on. He does the white water crazy stuff.

9:29 am

Just what we all need. A computer program that makes it even harder to get drugs. Oy.

9:29 am

And if you smack it, you only hurt your hand.

9:30 am

I don't even prescribe controlled substances such as narcotics or amphetamines, but I do refills for my partners that prescribe amphetamines. (I stopped putting kids on amphetamines 10 years ago and do not regret that decision.)

9:30 am

Good for you Scrabbler

9:30 am

Well, Judi, the system (using a programmed flash drive with our password) prevents forgeries.

9:30 am

we hope

9:31 am

I get criticized for "not helping kids" but I never felt that using amphetamines helped a kid to change their behaviors.

9:32 am

And I do not want to participate in the game of using amphetamines for every kid with school and behavior problems. "ADHD" is now the default term for any struggling kid.

9:33 am

I am old-fashioned--teach parents and kids the skills to adapt and thrive in school and life.

9:33 am

true. An easy answer.

9:34 am

Aaaah, window #2 just went in.

9:34 am

Have a problem? Take a pill. Make it better.

9:34 am

Good for you Scrabbs. Okay, now lets try to figure out a way to make the kayaker dude take his left glove off!

9:34 am

Nobody wants to do the hard work.

9:35 am

YAY! for window #2

9:35 am

Maybe I will ask him for his name and number. Maybe.

9:36 am

when there's an ere in the grid I keep typing in Italian verbs.

9:36 am

Go Scrabs!!

9:36 am

Find out where he goes kayaking... and then stalk him! Oh wait, bad idea.

9:37 am

Big help, Judi :)

9:37 am

Purchase loch ness suit and swim up on him. Surprise!

9:38 am

Hi, remember me?

9:42 am

good approach.

9:43 am

Oh, you tease!

9:43 am

9:43 am

9:43 am

If ru were here he would say that he never heard it called that before.

9:43 am

Hi Zooz

9:43 am

LOL!

9:44 am

Hello, Hego :-)

9:44 am

I can show him my mountain bike too.

9:44 am

:)

9:44 am

Hey, baby... oar'nt you glad I showed you my kayak?

9:44 am

There's a good pair of tires on that bike.

9:44 am

groan for Judi!

9:45 am

lol Scrabs.

9:45 am

Haha

9:45 am

I am such a tomboy that I flirt with this guy by talking about kayaking.

9:46 am

perfectly good.

9:46 am

Vixen!

9:46 am

Hussy!

9:48 am

got to go. Later.....

11:24 am

Am subbing in a remedial class. I had to really switch gears with this group:)

11:27 am

Having fun then, Crossy..lol

11:27 am

good morning, everyone

11:29 am

remedial as in challenged students or remedial as in behavioural problems and you are the warden?

11:30 am

remedial as in challenged

11:30 am

No warden duty

11:30 am

ah challenging but so satisfying when you make a break through

11:31 am

... Just leave them to the EAs ... read a story with them ... and let them play video games

11:31 am

Was easy. the teacher who was off today has all her curriculum set up already. Just a matter of following her schedule

11:31 am

Today was movie day with a small assignment

11:32 am

... the small assignment is unusual ... it's usually just movie day

11:35 am

They are doing well. Penmanship is the real issue. Would be nice to get them doing this in Word, but they shy away from computers for anything other than playing games.

11:37 am

The assignment was easy. Just a bunch of premade sentences and they had to decide if "many" or "much" was the correct word to make the sentence work.

11:37 am

Small victories;)

11:38 am

... I must admit to having no idea of how to work with a class of these kids. I'm sure that the teachers claim small victories but how many times must you claim the same small victory?

11:40 am

obsess

11:40 am

Filling in is easy, doing this full time takes a true professional with the creds behind him/her

11:40 am

... They can be wonderful people but how do they function in society once they "graduate" ... The kid was 21 ... he can add single digit numbers but counting on his fingers ... I watched him do 30 of them ... But I'm sure he had no idea of what he was doing or why ...

11:42 am

There is one here that cannot tell time but is an ace at video games. there is another here that can add sums like a calculator but can hardly read at the 5th grade level. it is interesting.

11:42 am

I have a 3rd that is making Microsoft Excel just dance but will not communicate.

11:44 am

... That one sounds like autism ... they can be really smart ... but the others are probably working at the highest level that they'll ever attain ... it is interesting work but if it wasn't for the EAs I'd find it utterly discouraging

11:44 am

May get her to give me some excel pointers;)

11:45 am

... if she'll talk that's an excellent idea ... it often helps to ask things which you already know ... ...

12:02 pm

... phew ... 85% ... maybe later ... bye for now ... luck for everyone

3:38 pm

help, plz!? looking for the first ca 5/14 and the ce 5/12

Haven't listed but I'm guessing the ce5/12 could be what you have 5 of, but spelled with a "c"

3:41 pm

great clue diane! thx!

3:41 pm

the first ca 5/14?

As far as the ca word, there could be several...I am still missing 5 of them.

I only have one, and it's the past tense of ca4/5

3:43 pm

i already have two; both are past tenses of different ca 4/5s

I don't know what I'm missing until I list and that's not for a while yet. Just found another, based on what you have :-) thanks

See!! ....we learn something new every day of our lives.... whether it be good or bad !

3:53 pm

It's why the poster formerly known as Nancy Boy chose that name. Not that he was a real person or anything, but I guess the person posting as him thought it was amusing.

I just twigged into that connection.
