Sweet dreams Nef
Sleep well, Nef
night night Nef
good one, isn't it! I was impressed with it too.
I still think he's self-indulgent at times, but I put up with that!
I put that series in the dropbox about the cop turned chaplain
Thanks - I'lll check it out.
I agree. He could do with a bit of editing. But still :)
Would you send the link again, pls.
ofcourse
I love to read. The title Phantom intregues me! What is it about?
It's part of the Terry Goodkind Sword of Truth Series.
Thanks. Will have to look out for that.
it is part of the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind, medusa. It is a fantasy series. Well written and a delight to read.
Thanks Sprite. Got to love you and leave you - busy few days ahead. Hugs to all.
Hugs Liz. Have a good day
Definitely have to look out for that Sprite

do you have an ereader, medusa?
I do. It is just a cheap one but I love it. ;0
hehehe I know the feeling. Ok, my email addy is in my profile. If you drop me a mail, I can send you the series.
Wow! That will be great! #Thanks. I prefer a real book but the ereader is my bath buddy. lol
I like real books too. But the convenience of a reader is awesome.
bye Liz :) sleep well

and hi Gwen
{{hugs}} and good morning sweetheart. how was your night? i missed seeing you last flip.
Had a bit of a low time but things are looking up at the moment rose. How are things with you?
yeah it was lonesome yesterday, lol. Even the people in chat didn't talk to me. Missed you :)
great to hear things are starting to be better, medusa
went and saw financial adviser today. i have some good ideas from him on how to cope financially now. need to talk it over with don as his assets are affecting my government pension.
ugh rose... always such a hassle
if you make your kid stand in the backyard with his arm out and tell time by his shadow, it's a sondi4
Thanks sprite. Hope all goes well for you rose.
and vice versa
Hahahaha Hurshey!
lollll hursh! Adding it to the dictionary
medusa, email sent
it does, medusa. i am settling into retirement well. and whoever said retirement goes slowly needs a good smack. i really don't have enough hours in the day... lol
Aw rose, pleased it is all going nicely for you other than that little problem. Time is dragging for me right now but I think that is coz I am waiting for the postman. lol
Got thanks sprite. Will sort that when I am done here. ;)
it's okay sprite. at least this time with this man my interest stayed, no brain fog which was a blessing. and don has taken on board his advice re don's finances.
it's weird, the bottom R's HAVE to all be re, which should make it easier, narrow down the choices, but...
since when are re words easy??
since the other side of never, sprite
awesome, rose. Progress!
well, q's are worse today, which is also weird, usually if there are a lot of q's they are like, queen queer, easy
no hurry, medusa, they will stay available to you as long as you want
yeah, lol, queen queer quean. I tried them all, just to be sure.
hurshy, my favourite qu6 is there, mostly vowels

nn Gwen
sweet dreams gwen
I didn't but do now! Thanks. ;)
*giggle* medusa
Sweet dreams gwen
sprite, i am so pleased you have come on at this time as it is church movie night. we are showing field of dreams.
which reminds me... i have to call neighbour and let her know. she always forgets.
how lovely, rose :)
One day I will see the whole of that movie! I always fall asleep and miss the end. lol
lolol
oh no medusa...is it that boring?
*laughing in reality* and no...it isn't in the grid
No, they just put it on at silly oclock in the morning for some reason. Then there is the sleep problems I have. lol
i checked.....
of course medusa. silly of me to forget. sorry.
No problem. ;)
*brings out the whip*
Thing that is most frustrating is that I really enjoy what I see of it!
which reminds me.... TOMORROW IS SATURDAY.....whee....i get to sleep in.
ok, then I won't call you tomorrow morning at 6 am
sprite, you missed out on the last word which should have been cream...
found a second qu8! whooohooo
cream scream? :)
Right, have put it on my to watch list on a site I watch things on. lol
yay you hurshy
ROFLOL sprite
was going to say... nah, not going there
lololllll bad rose
*happy sigh* made sprite laugh. my job is done
you did :D
Why is it when you want time to go slow it speeds past but when you want it to go fast is drags? lol
the perverse imp of time management is responsible for that
Wait til I get my hands on the little swine! lol
you hold him and I will kick his nasty little butt!
Sounds like a plan to me. Bloody postman wont be here for a while yet and should get a nice little package. lol
and i'll smack his ears together
lol
ooo I love packages. Even when I have ordered them myself, they still feel like presents.
I will ripo his legs off so he can't come and find us again!
yay rose! We'll teach him!
Don't they? I just bought myself a sewing pattern for a bag and my handbag is falling apart. lol
strange medusa. i get that reaction every time i say that. except for himself... he just shudders.
lol
:D
oh, nice, medusa! Wow, sewing your own bag, awesome.
yeah, what sprite said.
If it can be sewn I will have a go. There are 2 designs on this pattern, a rucksack style one and a basic one.
*enjoys sharing a brainwave with rose, as usual*
Can't get enough of my needlecrafts.
i'll just sit here and let sprite flap her gums. she always says what i want to say.
I hear ya. Am into crotcheting at the moment, very much enjoying doing it while bingewatching tv series
only difference between us is I type faster, rose, lolol
Once I have moved I will be making dogs beds for my gang and going to see if I have room to make them their own little row of houses too with a penthouse on top for the cat. ;)
hmmm crotcheting... folks, sprite likes to fiddle with her crotch...
oh wow, that should be fun, medusa
darn it! crocheting. I always check my spelling with that one... and now I didn't. Sigh.
and she uses a hook to do it....
and well, yes rose, I do, but only in private and not while watching tv.
playing hookie :P
Will be a mission but fun. Will probs crochet the main pieces coz it will be fasster! Gonna see if I can get some plastic tubing for the frames. My dogs are all small so not so bad
<-----wonders just how kinky sprite really is
LMAO rose!
sweetie, you have no idea :D
i can hardly see the screen i am laughing so hard
Well I need the laughs right now so this is cool for me. ;)
as they say here, laughing is healthy, it shakes up your liver ;)
That is does. Like I say, been down a lot recently so need the laughs.
in that case i have a very healthy liver.
Mine is recovering well to right now. lol
medusa, just log in when sprite and i are here, necer a dull moment
*hugs medusa* I know that feeling, honey. It can be a tough battle, uphill all the way. Am so glad we can make you laugh :)
Well it dosn't help that I have such a nasty, intimidating landlord that live in a house on the same plot as me and parks right by my front door in the parking area.
ouch! That certainly doesn't help. But you are moving out?
what a nasty little man!!! why is he set on intimidating you?
I am and had someone from environmenal health round a couple of days ago and told her everything. She works in the housing depertment at the council too. She is going to get someone to talk to him, get him investigated and get me some help out of here as soon as she can. ;)
On top of that he nearly lost me one of my dogs which broke my heart but found out yesterday that once I have moved and she has had her op she will come home!
ah am so glad, medusa. If you can't have peace in your own home, it is way too hard to feel ok.
medusa, what a terrible tale of woe. and your poor pet is caught up in it too!! how vile.
It is sprite. I get the feeling half my little village is scared of him rose. He owns half of it but acts like he owns it all. Not 1 person I have spoken to likes him but they wont do anything about it. I was planning to once I moved but then this laady came and is going to see what she can do. She was lovely.
am so glad, medusa. You need your pet babies with you.
He is just nasty.
ummm, what sprite said.
is he british medusa?
sounds like he is a sorry little excuse for a man and someone who has no business being a landlord, or in any position of power, or in any situation involving human beings
I have my cat and the boys here. The woman that hes Purl came to see the puppies and he came over, in front of her, her friend that brought her and her 3 children, and started yelling at me. When the woman asked if we could go a bit further up he said he owns this plot and I was not allowed on it!
ohhhh found a biggie combo that brings A Christmas Carol to mind.
He is just a vile man and hopefully he will lose his properties and be struck off as a landlord.
He is brittish rose.
lol sprite. wtg
so sorry, medusa. What a bully.
such a shame that one bad apple has to spoil the whole barrel
*plugs said landlord into that barrel, adds rotten fish and throws it down a waterfall*
He is a bully. It is rose. Sad thing is I get on so well with everyone but him in the village. It is so pretty and friendly but he makes it so ugly.
LMAO sprite.
yay sprite. good for you
So you can now see how needed these laughs are. Today is the first day I have woken with a smile for a few days.
it is a shame we are living in modern times. Back in the day, you could have found willing knights to put down that dragon for you.
yay sprite. medu7sa hyas laughed... not for the first time... our job is done sweetie
medusa, it is impossible to keep a good woman down. He can try, but you will win.
Well if all goes well I think I might have just done that myself. The good thing about modern times is that women can be knights too. ;)
I never stay down long. Once I have moved and got my baby back I will bounce back so fast.
absofreakinlutely. I have the feeling lots of knights back then were women too. Who could tell behind the closed visors, right?
<---- polishing medusa's armor until it bedazzles the horrible troll
So true!
Thing is when I knock someone down they very rarely get back up. When they do it is very slowly
lol rose. ;)
like me medusa... you are made of rubber.
hehehe, good for you, medusa.
and you have an iron knuckle-duster hidden in your gauntlet.
Yep. Surprised i have not snapped I bounce back so fast. I nearly died a few weeks ago, I bounced back a week later with a colostomy bag but that will be going soon.
Thanks for that rose. Do ou want it back when I am done with iit? lol
you are amazing, medusa. You are woman hear you roar!
Sorry for all the double letters that should not be, shaky hands. ;)
good for you medusa. keeping you in my prayers.
you make perfect sense to me. To hell with spelling. And shaking hands might actually improve your babble skills. Seeing how some words are crazy.
lol. Thanks sprite. They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I think I am so solid now nothing can get through. lol
Thank you rose. :)
Am hoping to be nearer a church that opens on Sundays when I have moved. ;)
Now that is a thought sprite............
good for you medusa.
fireflies. Awesome grid today.
Right, hungry. Must go and find some food!
enjoy, medusa!
wtg sprite
Thanks. :)
I am off for today. Rose, have a grand movie time, and sleep well after. *hugs*
my poor darling...i just said cruise from melbourne... he actually gulped
yum, yum medusa
medusa, all the best and *hugs* too... will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Down with all bullies!
Bless.
WTG SPRITE!!!
xoxox enjoy your day sprite.
Thank you sprite. Will keep you updated where I can. Have your emails now so will email you if I don't catch you on here. xx
brb
Decided to make coffee while I was up too. lol
And now my boys are enjoying a carrot each. lol
Is there a clue for the so7 please?
sounds like diet pop, medusa
oops, that's the so8
sodalit
oops
I got that one. lol
I do need an 8 but thinking that is plural of the 7
i'm so sorry; not used to using chatbox.
No probs. ;)
well, if you find the so7 let me know; I need it too :-D
Will do. lol
Morning all! May I please have stats for the i and the E in the fourth column?
Hi mattyy. I have them but have the others too. Sorry I can't help.
Doubt you have the so7 do you?
Sorry, no! I'm not quite halfway yet :(
ok. Thanks. That one is a nightmare. Just can't see it
stats for the I you need are is 6/7
the E is ei5
Thanks - looking now!
Just looked and worked it out. Think they are right!
D'ya have the full stats?
Have the list hun. Let me know what you need.
Sorry, I mean ei5/??
ei 5/12
Ta! Looking hard now :)
Welcome
SO 7 is not daughter + cover on a coat for your head.
Plural for the SO8
Thanks zoom
Thought it would be plural. ;0
The definition for that word is clearly 'the bit of skin removed during circumcision'
It is matty?
No - I'm being facetious. But it should be ;)
Sounded good. lol
lol
Found the E and the i(s) - I should have seen the i words - thanks
Welcome.
finally down to less than 20!
good going!
Thanks. been here since just after flip! lol
fireworks
Does anyone need any help before I go?
Congrats, Medusa!
No I am okay but thank you :-)
thanks
Welcome. :)
phantom: odalisque
and good morning!
Hello, Ruby :-)
nano
sorry
((zzoozz))
How are you, Zooz? Thank you for sending me your sunshine!
LOl you are more than welcome, Ruby :-)
well thank you. How about yourself?
It's still a little chilly in the AM but no rain! Yay
This time of the year it takes a while for the sun to burn through the sea mist here. But by the early afternoon the sun is out in force :-)
I read in the chog yesterday (was lurkig), that you had no weeds. Were you being facitious or are you re**ly that good?
Ah I did post after that comment that i do have a few weeds :-)
And no I am not good at garening at all but I do try!
I have tons of Queen Anne's lace, a weed, but a lovely one. I leave it alone.
Gardening*
I am not that good at spelling either by the looks of it lol
I do a few minutes each day, but lack the energy to do very much. But the garden is beautiful, nonetheless
hahah Otyerwide you'd be too perfect!
Just googled it and it says it is called a wild carrot?
otherwise* (no great shakes at typing, either)
LOL you are funny, Ruby :-)
Related to parsnip and hemlock, which "crops up" in UK crime programs from time to time
Subtle but deadlyy poison. Personally, unlike Socrates, I would just take Benadryl and morhine and wash it down with vida
morphie* (I should know how to spell it by now) and vodka* (ditto)
I take benadryl at certain times of the year for hay fever. But have not worked out what it is that sets me off yet.
morphine* duh!
lol I knew what you meant, Ruby :-)
Benadryl, another Wonder drug, but dangerous if combined with alcohol
No often I drink alcohol so I am okay!
Don't drink alcohol due to other tablets I take. But do not miss it much anyway :-)
I used to drink with mu husband, but since I take morphine, I oinly drink when I go to restaurants
I have about three beers a year lol. My friends take the piss but only joking wise. It does not stop them getting bladdered though.
I keep seeing the word 'noodles' in the grid lol
I keep seeing qualities
Oh that is a good one, Matty!
Sadly, there are 77 words in the grid that are there that I am not seeing...
Well I am struggling with the A word at the moment. I must be really blind to them.
I have 11 As at the moment
I always have trouble with words starting with vowels
That is three more than me :-)
16 now. Gosh
ooh I am upto 10/19
Oh and I thought I was catching you up LOL
I'm sure you will. I am probably reaching a point where I shall need the list
Sorry!
Teehee :-)
13/19 I like it as it makes me look harder for the words :-)
Still stuck on 16
Got all the As now!
Now I see them in my Li4 I am wondering why I found it so hard to find them lol
Well done - I haven't got any more. Mind you, my eyes are struggling to stay open. What's the longest A you have?
Longest is two A-6 AD 6/21 & AL 6/18
They are both plurals.
OK - I have the al but not the AD - I shall look for the AD :)
As finished - thanks Zooz!
No thank you for making it more fun :-)
What letter are you working on now?
The i under the H
No I am onto the Q
Now*
Phantom: Qualities.
Oooh - I only have 10 of the Qs
And only 7 of this i words
I'm not doing well at all :(
I got the is rather quickly which is not normally me lol
i's
i words ;)
yep lol
They are all in words from that tile.
I do have some weird ones from there that I monkied (in6, 6, 7, 8, 7 and then a few normal ones)
In 7/32 & in 8/45 in 7/40 & in 8/55
Ah - I have in7/32, 8/45, 7/32 so I'm clearly missing the 7/40 and 8/55 combo...
Let me know if you need a clue.
I wouldn't mind if you'd care to...?
in+ shh
OK, I hadn't seen the shh in the first place. Now I feel silly
:-)
Missing one i now
not being outside?
Got that
pub?
Yep (or hotels)
Was that it?
I could go to Lickety of course. Nope, I had the pub/hotel
check your plurals then.
I have in 6, 6, 7, 8, 7, 6, 4, 7 and 8
Aaah - I was missing a singular
That's the Is done
lol
If I had five more Hs I'd grey the first column
I need four of those.
My longest H is a five
Ho 7x2 think of a cover for the head on a coat.
One has more so ending one has not alive ending.
Thanks - the piece of clothing that's supposed to indicate a dastardly youth ;)
Yes that is the one LOL
Now need 2 Hs
HO + what we call a gran.
and plural
That has cleared the Hs - thank you!
I still need one.
Nope I have it..it was Ho 4/5 lol
Have you got the Japanese car manufacturer?
Got them all now thank you, Matty :-
Yep, we posted at the same time
Going back to the Qs :-)
Good morning all.
Holy.... 21 Qs...
Hello, Sukee :-)
Hi zooz and matty. I woke up early today, worrying about a patient of mine.
Hi zoo, matty and scrabs
Hi sukee.
Sorry to hear that, Scrabs. Will you be seeing them today?
I have seen him twice in the last 2 weeks after he was hospitalized and have been emailing the mother. The diagnosis is uncertain so he is a mystery.
Matty is at work so pops in and out.
Sorry to hear that. hope something can be done.
More testing.
Looking forward to warm weather again, we have had a few chilly days here. Wearing my capri pans regardless today :)
Hopefully what is wrong with you patient is easily treatable.
that is capri pants...
Been nice here, /sukee for the last few days!
It was 12 here yesterday, but today is supposed to be 22
Been over 24c here but today is around the 20c mark
12 sounds rather chilly Sukee
I is :)
That is 12C by the way
Was cold last night, had to drag my blanket out again.
And right now, it's 10C
I do ot have blankets I sleep between two duvets it is lovely.
Not*
Nice, I should get one, much easier and more comfortable.
The only catch last night was the cats were chasing each other and one of them practically pulled the entire blanket off of me.
They are, Sukee. So soft and warm. And you can swap them for a heavier tog or a lighter tog for the summer months!
I like duvets too, but it gets so hote here in the summer, I just use a top sheet and maybe a light blanket
lol they like to play at nights and don't care if you are asleep. you should be joining in lol
Yes, I usually just use a top sheet in the summer.
Sure zoo, I just wish they didn't treat my bed as a launching point :)
Unfortunately we do not get many very warm nights so that is not a problem I would love to have here.
Well, time for me to go brush my teeth and get going.
Back after sending an email. Hi bichon. Yes, we had 2 chilly days here and now summer returns today so I will be kayaking.
Have a great day, Sukee :-)
Take care all and good luck with the Qs :)
Yes still need five of those, Sukke :-)
Sukee*
Popping out to make a cup of tea.
Back. Shared mystery fish with the dog and did a (very) little gardening. Smiling today
((scrabs))
Mystery fish?
They don't label the lunches. It was white, breaded and flavorless, but we shared it anyway
Generic white fish, then.
Yesterday it was mystery meat covered with mashed potatoes, not quite shepherd's pie
There is always something to eat and occasionally it's good
good morning all. 1/2 way and still 3 blank tiles. all start with vowels
I have 14/21 of the Q words

Howdy scrabby. Just did a major hike day before yesterday. Hiked the full Petun Side-trail on The Burce. there is a pic and a bit of info in my blog. never now. You may want to come up and hike it with us soon :)
I DO want to come up, but my life is so busy. I just need to make the time. *sigh*
I am going kayaking today and will leave by about 9. I put my boat up on the car last evening. I need to pack food, water, and clothes soon.

ty for the so 9 zooz
Welcome :-)
hi all. i just am not getting the clues. darn. any further clues for the so 9 welcome. i have so and then the father word i dont see..........hmmm
sadly, we have yet to get out on the water this year, scrabby. :(
pop+ alt spelling for not heavy
Think of a metric measurement instead of a quart...****r
dont i need another vowel first?
Only time us canucks ever say so4/5 is when it is immediately preceded by the word scotch :)
so and then another vowel? that is what is confusing us.
Carbonated beverage + alternate spelling for not heavy
ooooh. i was on the wrong s. ok.
Four letter word for fizzy pop + alt spelling for not dark or not heavy.
i got it. ty ty ty. didnt see the carbonated drink
There were two different clues, depending on what worked for for you.
Glad you found it, Mkg :-)
The history of "pop" V.S soda is quite interesting, really. It stems for the way in which we used to bottle so4 it in the early days. We used thick, heavy glass bottles called "cod stoppers." Instead of a cork or cap, these cod-stoppers had a rubber ring with a glass marble inserted in the neck. The carbonation seated the marble up against the rubber washer, providing an effective seal. the way to open one of these was to use a pencil or a stick wand rap sharply on the top of the marble to break the seal. this made a loud "pop" sound hence the name. Unfortunately, kids began braking the bottles instead of returning them for deposit so as to get the colorful glass marbles trapped within. The bottles were soon discontinued.
excuse typos
Aha. Around here we call it pop.
I have some of those cod stoppers in my kitchen :-)
I have one left from my collection. My son broke 99% of my stuff when he was young
My parents have a whole row of them on a high shelve in their kitchen.
I also have some of the blue poison bottles.
The thick heavy ones shipped over from England or India are most prized> i sued to collect poison bottles as well. Loved the blue glass and the raised skulls and cross hatches
used
hello dear friends
and the glass fire extinguisher balls :)
howdy, trif
Hello, Trif :-)
Not heard of those..will google them.
just here for a quick second, will be back during third period, god willing.....bit of a quiet day here, thank GOD
Oh they look cool, Crossy. i have never seen them before. i would liked to have found some of them.
Hi Trif
Enjoy the peace while it lasts, Trif :-)
Oh my those blue glass fire extinguisher balls are GORGEOUS
hi scrabbler, crossy, zooz, et al
They are..are they not!
fire extingusher balls are rare, because they were designed to be broken. You can sometimes find them in 6-packs in the original wall mounted metal case
Time for me to go and do other things. Nice to see you all. Happy babbling everyone!
take care, Zooz and have a great day.
Bye zooz
good morning, babblers!
Hi eva and son
le
good morning, babblers
Battery is going to die on laptop so I must get going. Hi Annie.
Hi Scrabbs, enjoy your kayaking trip
Yes, I am going to start packing up now.
Good morning
well, good morning my darling!
how are we today?? TGIF!!
Hello Luv!
TOTALLY TGIF, eva!
though, to be sure, my weekend is a hot mess of a schedule, involving three or four states....
Hello Momma!
Good Morning - Trif, I heard you were going to Ireland this summer....awesome! Mary is looking forward to meeting you.
we're due to head down to our alma mater for alumni weekend. we're hoping there are plenty of folks we know there to keep us entertained, since it's supposed to be H-O-T HOTHOTHOT!!! but at the very least, my parents live down that way, so it will be good to see them. :)
Oh have FUN!!!! Stay hydrated!
oh, eva. I LOVE the poem on your profile!
hi River! I am looking forward to meeting her too!
TY trif -- it's a song. you should youtube it -- it's so moving!
'morning, babblers
She is awesome. We had a great time when I met her 2 years ago.
I booked the last of the lodging Monday, so we are really set now. Getting excited!
good morning welki, and everyone else
You will love it. I want to go back someday.
I have been there about 20 times, so I am good with Ireland. looking forward to seeing old friends, old haunts, old relatives, lol
Nice...early wishes for a great vacation coming your way!
I have SO MUCH to do in the next two weeks that I will be lucky to get through it mentally unscathed. between the end of the school year, the last three weeks of grad school, getting Secondo moved in to her house in Burlington, doing some MUCH needed home stuff, and getting Tertiare through the end of her school year, I am running on survival mode
Wow....that is what us Moms do......you have the power!
have to run to works
absolutely. I CAN do it...but doing it well and doing it with grace is a whole 'nother affair
have a good day down the mine, car!
who cares about grace.....bye car.....I have to get back to work too.
isnt the definition of motherhood doing all things at all times for all people with no sleep + being utterly graceful about it all? thats what people are telling ME to expect. ;)
people are full of it, eva. lol
oh, i forgot the part about no acknowledgement or thanks!
or pay/
Have a great day everyone

But I had it in chicago - it os good, Eva! Enjoy
Haven't seen it in CT, but it sounds good. I am meeting up with daughter and granddaughter at Katz's, a Jewish deli for lunch today for my birthday
OMG - I am jealous, bichon!
most of their food, i could take it or leave it. but i REALLY enjoy this Med Veg one. (you can get it with chicken, but i prefer it just veggie)
the deli of all delis ; )
Katz's is the only deli in CT that ranks with New York ones, and much cheaper
PB definitely does NOT compete with Katzs. :)
This Katz's is only in Woodbridge, CT, but I am sure there are many delis with that name
ah, I was thinking of the one in NYC
is it related?
FW
my last word - spanish goodbye
Katz is a common Jewish name
woot kje
I would just think, being so close to NY, that they couldn't use that name (Katz's deli) without trademark infringement
just googled it, no connection... interesting
id think the same, kje -- interesting to know it's not!
the NYC one is Katz's delicatessen rather than Katz's deli as in CT...
Are you from CT Kje?
important semantics. :)
here is a NYTimes article re the Katz delis around the country... http://tinyurl.com/h2wx6mk
no, I am in SF now, bichon... born in VA, grew up mostly in TX, have lived several places but never CT

Not false + what men wear around their necks for dress up
But that's OK. Confusion is my default. :-)
Gottit. Thanks MollyL.
Bracing myself for the departure of the final fledgling from the Soodle nest. My last remaining kiddo sets sail for the US of A on Monday next - for 3 months of adventure. (Actually, she is flying there, I'm using poetic licence)! I sure will miss her.
Where's she going to be, Soodle?
how exciting for her, Soodle! :-)
Une, Ru and I were joking earlier about how rescue Bloodhounds bring spicy Bloody Mary's to the hungover. Kind of like those dogs with kegs around their neck, only more medicinal. : D
aaawwww :-)
There are parts of town where that would catch on like wildfire.
indeed! like right now in downtown Nashville during the Country Music Festival1
*Festival!
Exactly. Imagine all the people who wake up fried the next day, in need of a rescue.
fried in more ways than one -- heat index this weekend: around 100 degrees
She's heading to NH first, to be a counsellor at a Summer Camp. Then taking on a road trip... LA, Vegas, Nashville, New Orleans, NYC, Washington .... My head is spinning with the thoughts of it!
Ugh, drunk and dehydrated. We will need a whole fleet of Rescue Bloodhounds. And gallons of V-8, vodka and Tabasco.
sounds terrific, Soodle :-)
Soodle, that sounds like a grand trip, she should enjoy it.
Oh, Une.... Many of Suzies friends are at that festival in Nashville right now :-)
Wow...that's a lot of ground to cover!
attendance at the festival is MASSIVE
this is also the weekend for Bonaroo, about an hour south of Nashville!
She is very fortunate Soodle. Both of my older kids wanted to travel overseas when they were her age, but it wasn't financially feasible.
Soodle, there were nearly 90,000 fans here for last year's festival! LOL
Ack Une. Stay in the house and hide until it's all over.
Hey!! She is 21. One of my biggest regrets is that I didn't do something similar when I was her age. She worked 2 jobs plus college all year to finance this trip. Bon Voyage, I say!!! (I'll still miss her like crazy....)
Like I said, she is very fortunate. Good for her.
Molly, it kicked off at midnite last nite with fireworks that had my dogs running for cover! LOL
ðŸ‘
Good for her! She's going to have a great time, I'm sure.
Now, all I have to do is find something to entertain/occupy me in her absence, that costs zero! Hmm
30 to go and taking a break -- BBL :-)
