All depends. Some are seeing a kiwi, some a kakapo. Tech hitch or something.

12:27 am

FranMag

they have more of a supernatural twist, darker than the amelia books.

12:27 am

Ping

sorry!

12:27 am

FranMag

i guess it's a kakapo, it doesn't look like a kiwi.

12:27 am

Atalante

some of them - 4 or 5 maybe. ish. they weren't really printed over here (nor many of her non-Amelia Elizabeth Peters books) but I've picked a few up in charity shops and stuff over the last few years and celebrate when I find one! I don't like them as much as Amelia, but I still really like it

12:28 am

FranMag

ping, today is favorite author, last time was favorite authors...see the difference? (me neither)

Ping

12:29 am

Atalante

utterly!

12:30 am

FranMag

1:44 am

SueMagee

Morning Stid. I have the Ms and Ls.

1:45 am

I never made it to 9 months, mine came 3 weeks early. And I really thought it was evacuation time indeed.

1:45 am

mab

ren, brilliant icon

1:45 am

MVA

thanks roc, hope all is well

1:46 am

stidmama

okay, I will ask when I figure out which ones I need, thanks Sue!

1:46 am

renfield

thanks mab.

1:46 am

RocDragon

she's been complaining that she wants it out asap. due date is around august 10th..

1:46 am

sprite

Why is that, mab?

1:46 am

mab

you out-did yourself!

1:47 am

stidmama

I need 8 MA words, all in a row, beginning with the one after plural latin mothers...

1:47 am

sprite

I sympathize with her completely, Roc. Hope she and you will be alright for the last stretch.

1:47 am

sprite

mab, please, let me in into the secret?

1:48 am

sprite

stidmama, that doesn't really m6/21, now does it?

1:48 am

mab

why am I please that you and hurshy met? I guess because it's fun to know about babblers meeting, and because the two of your brains should really know one another a bit.

1:48 am

SueMagee

The 5/16 builds on the 4/5.

1:49 am

SueMagee

For the others think of what you would put on the floor and build from there. The eight is an odd word.

1:49 am

stidmama

woo-hoo! that gave me all but TWO, thanks sprite.

1:49 am

sprite

I really enjoyed meeting hurshy. She is so nice and such a pleasure to talk with. Glad we made you glad, lol.

1:49 am

stidmama

thanks Sue... *looking*

1:49 am

SueMagee

The MA 8/60 builds on the 6/24.

1:49 am

stidmama

got it!

1:50 am

stidmama

6 left... one MA and 5 L...

1:50 am

sprite

That gave me the 8. Strange indeed!

1:50 am

sprite

And thanks :)

1:50 am

mab

I hope to meet hurshy this summer some time; we live relatively near one another.

1:50 am

SueMagee

Which MA Stid?

1:50 am

stidmama

need the MA 8....

1:50 am

sprite

Still wondering about the 'out-did' part though, mab :)

1:51 am

stidmama

no I don't, monkeyed it!

1:51 am

sprite

That would be nice, mab. I can recommendate meeting her!

1:51 am

RocDragon

which L's do you need?

1:51 am

stidmama

FIVE to go, again in a row, the LA 5/10 that is opposite of "sooner" is the last one I have...

1:52 am

mab

oh that! I was referring to ren's icon of Robert Louis Stevenson - pretty amazing artwork.

1:52 am

RocDragon

la5/10 = cappucino with more froth

1:52 am

SueMagee

Double the consonant and work from there Stid.

1:52 am

sprite

Ah, LOL! I really wondered what you meant. No wonder, since it wasn

1:52 am

stidmama

1:52 am

1:53 am

sprite

Darn! Just got a mail from a friend that the rankings are embarrassing today. They are, LOL!

1:53 am

stidmama

ONE to go!

1:53 am

RocDragon

oops time to go

1:53 am

mab

no, sprite, I wasn't talking about how you and hurshy got into a wrestling match and you threw her in the canal. Those things do happen.

1:53 am

sprite

Night Roc, and thanks!

1:54 am

sprite

Now now, mab, did you have to tell the whole babble word about our little er.... discussion?

1:55 am

lynxxx

Hooray for Stid

1:55 am

SueMagee

Well done Sprite! I've got a problem with the rankings. Despite having completed the grid every day for over two months I'm at 1029. Dr_G agrees that it shouldn't be 1029 but doesn't know how to correct it. The totals are to pot too. I completed a 4000+ grid earlier this week and only went up by a few hundred.

1:56 am

sprite

Go to sleep, you stidmama! No fooling around with story quality time.

1:56 am

jillibus

YAY stid!! Fantastic!!!!

1:56 am

1:57 am

stidmama

*yawns and backs out of room clutching blankie*

1:57 am

sprite

I never understood those rankings and I hardly look at them. Strange, what you tell about the 'daily' rankings. Seems there are a few things in the setup of the site that aren't just that smooth.

1:57 am

mab

sweet dreams, stid :)

1:58 am

renfield

we'll be here with our nap ma4/5 stid

1:58 am

Awwwww.... you are SO cute like that, stid :)

lynxxx

sorry

1:59 am

sprite

That's valid indeed :)

1:59 am

SueMagee

I only found out accidentally, Sprite. I was waiting for the flip and went to look to fill in time. They never bothered me when I thought they'd be right, but it annoys me knowing that they're wrong.

1:59 am

sprite

Oh, I can imagine! Knowing they are wrong and not knowing how that can be, that is mighty irritating.

1:59 am

mab

I don't look at the rankings because I frequently, lately, don't finish the grid and it's not fun to see it decline. But wow, some people are hitting the stratosphere.

2:01 am

sprite

Mine are probably wrong too :)

2:01 am

renfield

annie and i found we wre not listed in the list of those who compelted the grid...so we decided we were twins and it wasn't really a rejection thingie...

2:02 am

sprite

You were right, renfield. It could NEVER be rejection with the two of you :)

2:03 am

mab

it couldn't be - look at that face of yours! who could reject you?

2:04 am

sprite

Did you all find the nonword Ts5/20? Past tense of what we all say when jilli announces she will go to bed early tonight?

2:05 am

renfield

i know mab - such a sweet...honest....face?

2:05 am

jillibus

glad I saw that, sprite!

2:05 am

I would never want to gossip about you without you present, jilli :) Good you found that appropriate T!

Onpaki

2:43 am

Onpaki

i have several st5's :). u mean st 5/12?

2:43 am

lynxxx

Onpaki - the ya's are similar to ma6.21

2:44 am

mab

i don't actually know... I just began and it's so late I'm a bit blinded. just ignore me.

2:44 am

FMitch

st7/32 - take the st5/12 and make it your "friend"

2:44 am

Onpaki

thanks, lynxxx.

2:45 am

Onpaki

4:19 am

SueMagee

It builds off the MA 6/24 and is an odd word.

4:19 am

Dippnall

ma 8/60 adj -ma 6/24

4:22 am

Buttonman

I have the ma 6/24 but I still don't get it.

4:23 am

SueMagee

Follow it through on the grid and look at the tile values - there's not too much else you can do.

4:23 am

FMitch

add anther ending onto the 6, look at the top corner.

4:24 am

Buttonman

I'll hit it when I am more awake...going back to bed

Hurrah for F! It was a 'mock' wedding - part of RE and PSHE - the article is VERY funny, though.

4:56 am

I'm too old to know this book I think. Any other clue or shall I just look for a name - the WO5.20

4:57 am

amandacath

Whew - had me scared there for a moment, Matty! (btw, you used a wo-ord)

5:06 am

FMitch

ch1212

And internet access is not a problem these days -- it's at work, at school, and in libraries for free

10:56 am

fig

what about going to an antique store and finding a neat old frame or something.

10:56 am

Jacula

Buttonman - I've got another alternative spelling of a word from that 'w' - think of the opposite of 'loses'.

10:56 am

FMitch

How about a pretty bunch of flowers or potted plant and a special card?

10:56 am

fig

or a cool vase for flowers for the house. that's always a good one.

10:56 am

Jacula

Buttonman - I did clue you before on the other word. See post at 10:53

10:57 am

Atalante

well then just stick to something generic - restaurant vouchers - we have something here where you can use vouchers in a huge number of different restaurants so you don't have to choose the place for her - or flowers / chocolates - everyone likes those!

10:57 am

fig

a plant would be awesome. something fragrant like lavendar, esp. in the hot summer would b enice.

10:57 am

shutterbug

THATS IT!!!!!!!! Flowers!!!!!

10:57 am

fig

or an ice cream store gift certificate :-)

10:57 am

shutterbug

well, I gave my piano teacher chocolate.

10:57 am

fig

i always like a plant better because it's longer lasting. like rosemary because it will last forever and has really cute blue flowers

10:57 am

shutterbug

I keep kidding saying I am going to give her one of our cats that I dont like.

10:57 am

fig

can't go wrong with food.

10:58 am

Buttonman

10:58 am

shutterbug

well, I dont have a whole lot of money, so do go to overoard.

10:58 am

Jacula

Buttonman - there are spellings for the Bug Bunny one.

10:58 am

ch1212

There's always the one gift that is sure to please a teacher --- learning a piece on your own and surprising her with your performance!

10:58 am

shutterbug

Jacula

* meant 2 spellings.

shutterbug, how about baking her a cake?

11:00 am

fig

mmm. cake

11:00 am

shutterbug

well, Kristin, that would be neat, but it would have to be a tiny one, because it is only here, she has no family.

11:00 am

ch1212

fig, it has several meanings to me. It was my dear mom's birthday, it was the day I joined a recovery group for friends/family of alcoholics, and (this is VERY strange to remember) it happened to be the day I uh ... lost my virginity... decades ago :D. Hey, you asked!

11:01 am

shutterbug

*her*

11:01 am

fig

well, YOU can share it with her. and a freezer works wonders.

How about inviting her to dinner?

11:01 am

ch1212

Home baked anything is always a wonderful treat!

11:01 am

fig

WHAT? you're not a virgin? (shock!!!!).

11:02 am

Atalante

11:02 am

11:02 am

12:13 pm

12:13 pm

TheFiz

12:33 pm

chj

the asian nurse was a frequent answer in the ny times crossword puzzle back in the 70's and 80's but since will shortz has been editor, he has eliminated most obscure words..like anoa--a celebes ox, which happens to part of will's email address

12:37 pm

chj

12:40 pm

12:40 pm

chj

this one had two long answers of EMPERORPENGUINS and DAILYNEWSPAPERS and another clue referred to these answers asking for a shade of color. You could put in either WHITE or BLACK and both worked

12:58 pm

Buttonman

marc, the en6 is the same as the cy 4/7 and the en is a prefix!

chj

i couldnt think of just one author, so i opted for funny instead

12:58 pm

mattygroves

I have a Terry Pratchett shelf on my bookshelf...and a Stephen King shelf...and a Larry Niven shelf....

12:58 pm

Marc Freeman

Couldn't get en6 with the 'benign nodule' clue, anyone have another clue? Please

my first hours in england were spent learning the rukes of cricket..we had just taken the ferry from ostend to dover and were driving to london when we stumbled on a local cricket match with one elderly spectator who was kind enough to explain all the rules..we were hooked

1:20 pm

renfield

hahahaha mab!...also describes my parent's housekeeper

featherbee

if i came in an hour ago, maybe, but they're due home in 20 minutes, and we're going to a party next door.

1:42 pm

mattygroves

I think you'll find that's the point - We won't charge you re4/4 to st4/8 your troubles for a while - We're all in sy4/7 and so you won't be ts5/20 here...

1:42 pm

debbinla

loving him - great acquisition

1:42 pm

renfield

gaet yourself a la 5/10 and sit down

1:42 pm

mab

debbinla

1:43 pm

mattygroves

I have that 5/12 - I need one before it...I have one meaning eight players in chamber music (for example)

1:44 pm

chj

ill never forget the first game after 9/11 when he won it with a home run

1:44 pm

aknitter

matty the other sounds like a chemical thingy -- oc + 3 other letters in a diagonal, include the sometimes vowel

1:44 pm

aknitter

i stink at clues -- sorry, better at tourmenting people

1:45 pm

debbinla

i was a beautiful thing

1:45 pm

TheFiz

so, feather, have we won you over? i've got a good story, too, if that will help...

1:46 pm

chj

or his battles with clemens..the thug

1:46 pm

oggy

clue for oc5 please. its one of the last three

1:46 pm

featherbee

lol, nope, still holding fast. i am trying to guess the oc5/12, but it's hard when you don't know if you're right or not.

1:46 pm

debbinla

oooh, that is a dirty bad word chj - i hate him

1:46 pm

mattygroves

Well, type it into the Add Word box, and you'll know...

1:46 pm

featherbee

lol, shhh! don't let my wayward fingers hear you!

1:46 pm

TheFiz

lol matty.

1:47 pm

mattygroves

Knitter, I have that one - I'm after an oc12...but not the group of eight.

1:47 pm

TheFiz

some of you may know my theory that if you let enough cat hair build up in one place, it will spring spontaneously to life.

1:48 pm

mattygroves

Got it - same root, but different last latter.

1:48 pm

featherbee

did it work yet fiz?

1:48 pm

aknitter

matty that's all i have so far, sorry

1:48 pm

FranMag

hello everyone!

1:48 pm

mattygroves

I now have all the OCs (thank goodness for Jumble)

1:48 pm

mattygroves

Hi Fran!

1:48 pm

Eva

and make a new cat, right fiz? This last year I collected the fur I brushd off of Merp and a friend spun it and made it into Merp mitten for me.

1:48 pm

chj

and does that work for brown curtains too

1:49 pm

featherbee

fran!!!

1:49 pm

renfield

hey ya fran

1:49 pm

oggy

got it thanks

1:49 pm

FranMag

feather!!!

1:49 pm

featherbee

go look at how they're tormenting me!

1:49 pm

TheFiz

well, i've been conducting a scientific experiment in my house for some time now. I've always believed that eventually enough heat and pressure will build up, like in a nebula, and a new cat will walk out.

1:49 pm

FranMag

are they trying to drag you in? hey rennie!

1:49 pm

mab

hi fran :)

1:49 pm

renfield

we we're tormenting -we were gicing clues!

1:49 pm

mattygroves

I believe that rubber bands are the larval stage of wire coat hangars.

1:49 pm

debbinla

hi fran - good morning

1:50 pm

aknitter

feather if you had started typing in words when you'd first come in you'd be almost done by now!!!

1:50 pm

FranMag

hi debb!

1:50 pm

featherbee

heh, you may be right knitter

1:50 pm

TheFiz

eva - just one mitten?

1:50 pm

mattygroves

RE words now. Yuck.

1:50 pm

Eva

i think you're onto something. If you collect enough dust from all th skin cells sloughing off, is that where zombies come from?

1:50 pm

debbinla

i'm hating them too matty

1:50 pm

chj

fiz ever look at the orion nebula thru binocs..birthpalce of stars

1:50 pm

FranMag

hi matty!

1:51 pm

aknitter

feather, do you like ho 6/42 or just baseball? (looks for ways to slip in tempting clues)

1:51 pm

mab

makes sense, eva.

1:51 pm

mattygroves

A couple of hours ago, I said I wouldn't finish. I have 48 left.

1:51 pm

featherbee

1:51 pm

FranMag

1:51 pm

chj

zombies come from a bartender

1:51 pm

Eva

No Fiz....two mittens, just forgot the s. But the really good fur harvesting time is in the transition into the hot weather.

1:51 pm

featherbee

ohhhhh, the killer blow fran!

1:51 pm

aknitter

HA!! now you know another word, might as well type it in, why waste it

1:51 pm

debbinla

i have 13 and am stuck -

1:52 pm

FranMag

1:52 pm

featherbee

1:52 pm

chj

what do you need deb

1:52 pm

featherbee

now i'm all wet and covered in letters

1:52 pm

debbinla

c'mon feather - you'd probably have more than me by now

1:52 pm

TheFiz

my cats - both champion shedders - like to sit in the windows and look out at the world they don't get to experience.

1:53 pm

FranMag

lol feather!!

1:53 pm

TheFiz

so - today i took down my curtains to wash them. usually, i use the lint brush on them before i toss them in the washer, but i just took 'em down and tossed 'em in today.

1:53 pm

chj

theyre gaining knowledge for their other eight lives

1:54 pm

mab

i'm saving all my cats' fur. going to spin it into yarn and knit free-ranging organic cat sweaters.

1:54 pm

FranMag

uh oh, what did your washer look like?

1:54 pm

aknitter

knitting, did someone mention knitting???

1:54 pm

chj

great..sweaters that will ignore you

1:55 pm

FranMag

funny chj!

1:55 pm

renfield

lol mab and chj!

1:55 pm

aknitter

sweaters that will lie all around the house, drape themselves over chairs ...

1:55 pm

Jacula

Hi all. I'm back for a bit more. 10 to go...

1:55 pm

mattygroves

These RE words are going to KILL me. I have five so far - two that I would know what they mean if they started with W, one that sounds like your back passage, and two involving charging money for borrowing something.

1:55 pm

FranMag

hi jac! 5 here

1:55 pm

bubba218

17 to go and the brain has crashed

1:56 pm

TheFiz

well, I think heat and spinning were the missing ingredients in my experiment.

1:56 pm

debbinla

hi jac

1:56 pm

featherbee

167 here....

1:56 pm

featherbee

167 here....

1:56 pm

Jacula

How about sewaters that will lie in the middle of doorways or narrow passages and then get up as you go to step over them, thus tripping you over?

1:56 pm

mattygroves

HA Feather!

1:56 pm

Jacula

*sweaters

1:56 pm

Jacula

Can't type today!:(

1:56 pm

renfield

lol mistress!

1:57 pm

aknitter

lol jac, sounds about right

1:57 pm

TheFiz

When i opened the dryer door, I swear that a little half formed kitty homonculous lept out of the lint trap, staggered around on the floor, and collapsed into a normal pile of dust.

1:57 pm

FranMag

matty, re6/21, add more fuel to the furnace.

1:57 pm

TheFiz

and I only dryed them on LOW!

1:57 pm

FranMag

lol fiz!

1:57 pm

mattygroves

You shouldn't put the cats in the dryer. They clog up the lint tray, and don't like it much.

1:58 pm

FranMag

i guess no one has that et5/16?

1:58 pm

mattygroves

Oooh, Fran - got the solid fuel one now.

1:58 pm

hurshy

matty, you want a couple more of your back passage sounding words

1:58 pm

aknitter

oh my this is getting bad

1:58 pm

Jacula

LOL Fiz. The cat hair then sticks itself in little balls all over the next things you wash dry in there. You may THINK you've got it all... but it hides from you.

1:58 pm

FranMag

hi hurshy!

1:58 pm

hurshy

i think et5/16 must relate to origins of words...

1:58 pm

hurshy

hi fran :)

1:59 pm

mattygroves

Try sitting down on the sofa in black trousers...when you have a tabby and white cat.

1:59 pm

Jacula

Franmag - et5/16 is ET asking his little mom a question.

1:59 pm

hurshy

matty, you also need... not brownly or greenly or yellowly...

1:59 pm

renfield

i wear balck clothes with black cat fur that mysteriously turns white during very imporatnt meetings

1:59 pm

FranMag

1:59 pm

Jacula

I do have a tabby and white cat, Matty. (And a black one.)

2:00 pm

FranMag

i had been using the right letters in the wrong way!

2:00 pm

featherbee

2:01 pm

renfield

2:01 pm

FranMag

2:01 pm

mattygroves

Hurshy, thanks - I did need that one. We used to have Komondor - big white dogs. Nightmare hairwise.

2:01 pm

chj

2:02 pm

debbinla

2:02 pm

FranMag

2:02 pm

mattygroves

I now need another back passage word...watch this space....

2:02 pm

mattygroves

(NOT the back passage space, mind you, but the chat box...)

2:02 pm

debbinla

thanks for everyone helping matty with the re's - i needed most and now have em

2:02 pm

hurshy

oh, um, all cat folks, i have 3, and may i highly highly recommend the petmate pet hair magnet, available for around $7-10 US from many fine internet retailers... it is the greatest invention ever

2:02 pm

featherbee

WHAT are you guys talking about with the back passage clues?

2:03 pm

hurshy

your pooping canal, featherbee

2:03 pm

FranMag

re words feather! there are 3 that all start the same.

2:03 pm

mattygroves

Your re6/21 passage - where a proctologist might stick his finger...

2:03 pm

hurshy

plural, adjectival, and a five with a diff vowel ending

2:03 pm

mab

is that the sort of spongy thing hurshy?

2:03 pm

featherbee

ohh! re words! i see now....

2:03 pm

FranMag

oooh matty, we don't want to hear that!!

2:03 pm

hurshy

no mab, it's hard plastic

2:03 pm

chj

ren..i think you mean dr john

2:04 pm

chj

real name is amc rebenac or something

2:04 pm

chj

yea two runs in

2:04 pm

hurshy

it's great because it uses no electricity or batteries, but unlike the sticky lint brushes also never needs replacing. the cost of buying it is the entire cost and it never wears out!

2:04 pm

chj

that was mac rebenac

2:04 pm

mattygroves

Sorry Fran!

2:04 pm

TheFiz

sorry, everyone - i should have known that "go sit down, I'll hang that last curtain" would in fact mean, "I'll creat a big disaster that will take you longer to fix than it would have taken you to do it yourself"

2:05 pm

renfield

oh i think you are right chj....see - i told you i was a clash fan

I was off trying to put a pic of my 2 cats together on my profile. Couldn't 'cos file's too large and I don't have time to mess about with the pics at present. Anyway, I came back, scrolled through the chatlog and got the cat magnet and the bum prober confused. I wondered what the heck proctologists DO in the States. LOL.

2:08 pm

mattygroves

2:35 pm

FranMag

marc, you've got great st**e + consumed

2:35 pm

Marc Freeman

No, but truthfully she wouldn't either. She has the same deal with pens as well. I do go over the top now and then and married a minimalist. I just drive her crazy and then sit back and laugh. Sometimes I guess I am just mean. But I love her and that is what counts.

2:35 pm

bubba, rhymes with the ma6/21

2:38 pm

Eva

one of the many things I enjoy about getting older is the dwindling of the need to be cool. Socks were just not cool. Now I have a collection that includes moose socks, and even (gasp) wear socks with my sandals to stretch out sandal time. Same thing with mitten which are so, so much better than gloves but definitely not cool

2:38 pm

mattygroves

It's similar to the ma6/21 - just change the first letter.

2:38 pm

renfield

bubba - does it really ma 6/21?

2:38 pm

chj

or a retractable knife..ala rosa kleb in from russia with love

Miyavi_fan

in which case...

*preens*

Yes, I am rather hardcore, aren't I? Live hard, die hard, that's my motto...er...yes *coughs*

3:42 pm

stidmama

Well, I really like the Incarnations of Immortality -- just for the irreverence and interesting ways he pulled many belief systems into that one. Xanth, of course, they are hilarious. And he wrote another series The Blue Adept? Haven't read those in years, but they were really interesting when I was in high school at least...

3:42 pm

Miyavi_fan

oh, come on, Eva.

you enjoyed it really...

3:42 pm

TheFiz

*holds up hands in shape of W* Nut, let me remind you - lumberjack in drag - i won't be sleeping, either...

3:42 pm

stidmama

well oggy -- save some for my side of the world. :-)

3:42 pm

saphyre

I like the incarnations the best myself

3:43 pm

TheFiz

*heads over to grid in a huff*

3:43 pm

saphyre

Xanth is just silly good reading

3:43 pm

evanonut

okay fiz - you have a very valid point...

3:43 pm

saphyre

Adept was great - but so was phase

3:43 pm

stidmama

*thinks to herself she is glad she came in toward the end of Nut and Fiz's conversation....*

3:43 pm

evanonut

and i rarely cede points mind you ;-D

3:44 pm

TheFiz

*folds huff neatly and puts it away for later*

3:44 pm

stidmama

Is Phase the ones that are in outer space? I remember one, Viscous Circle, that was part of another series I enjoyed, but again it's been well over a decade since I read those.

3:44 pm

evanonut

*loops arm through stids* - so, are you sleeping well at night or imagining your next chapter?

3:45 pm

TheFiz

but i'm going to be quiet for a little while b/c i've gotten pathetically few words thus far. and i still have to read mama's chapter from yesterday.

3:45 pm

stidmama

Sleeping well *and* dreaming up next chapter, actually!

3:45 pm

stidmama

go Fiz go!

3:45 pm

saphyre

no - phase was about a guy traveling through different plains of time - and of course had a girl and her horse for good measure

3:45 pm

evanonut

oh fiz, watch out for that step!

3:46 pm

stidmama

OH! I had completely forgotten about those, saphyre! I really must get my life pulled back together and spend some time in fantasies not of my own making...

3:46 pm

saphyre

lol

3:46 pm

TheFiz

*tumble tumble tumble* *raises head weakly* I'm ok, i'm ok...

3:47 pm

saphyre

he also wrote a book dedicated to his daughter about american indians that was quite good

3:47 pm

stidmama

My current fantasy, of course, is that I live in a lovely, well-kept house with a lovely, flourishing garden... and lovely, well-behaved children (who are finally home from camp).

3:47 pm

saphyre

my fantasy sounds a lot like yours but my kids are all in college or law school now

3:47 pm

evanonut

my fantasy is that i can have my 20 year old life back

3:48 pm

TheFiz

*hands stid keys to barbie dream house*

3:48 pm

oggy

stid, and what about hubby.

3:48 pm

saphyre

can I have the pink corvette Fiz?

3:48 pm

evanonut

*heads off to pull large quantities of fur off of the dog*

3:48 pm

stidmama

oh - my hubby is no fantasy! He really is wonderful! :-)

3:48 pm

evanonut

ah well oggy - that would be complicated wouldn't it?

3:48 pm

hetty

Stid, that's no fantasy,at least as far as well-behaved children is concerned. And I'm sure your home and garden,like yourself, are ordered and sweet

3:48 pm

stidmama

*gratefully takes keys from Fiz* thanks!

3:49 pm

saphyre

hi hetty

3:49 pm

stidmama

LOL hetty! well, sweet... but really my housekeeping is atrocious, and worse since I discovered Babble of course!

3:49 pm

3:51 pm

saphyre

3:51 pm

hetty

3:52 pm

stidmama

okay, I will be here promptly at ten-ish (ha-ha figure that one out if you can!) and tell the next chapter... toodles, all!

3:52 pm
