A daughter of a friend of mine is in the process of emigrating to Australia. She and her husband passed all the tests, so it is going fast now.

2:33 am

sprite

hi and goodnight, BigFoot

2:33 am

Yay Saph !!!!!!!!

2:38 am

Krys10

it's so interesting... here in the US I think there would be a lot of uproar if the standards (for spoken/reading/written english) were raised for people moving here

2:38 am

Ganja

oh good job saphyre

2:38 am

sprite

I really wish we had such a language rule for immigrants in Holland. That barrier is certainly responsible for a lot of racism issues here, such a terrible shame.

2:38 am

Andree

sprite we have whole communities where the parents don't speak english even after years, so the language requirement is new

2:39 am

sprite

wtg saphhyre!

2:39 am

Krys10

likewise, we do here too, but I think there would be a lot of accusations of racism if a language requirement were strictly enforced

2:39 am

sprite

Sounds like a good thing to me, Andree. We could use some of that good sense here.

2:39 am

saphyre

anyone need clues before I va****

M3

Oh crumbs Haz do you have gas?

3:25 am

3:25 am

metaleather

fr6/36 something unnecessary, foolish or deemed "silly". usually has the ending "ous"

3:25 am

sprite

3:25 am

FMitch

3:42 am

herinfernallady

3:57 am

spanner

3:57 am

FranMag

3:57 am

herinfernallady

3:57 am

Ganja

3:58 am

Karys

3:58 am

Haz1558

Elton John's caterer had similar problems.

3:58 am

herinfernallady

yep starting to pull out hair, he is driving me nuts, hence trying to ignore it at the mo

3:58 am

M3

make sure you own the copy right, dont want to see dodgy mashups on YouTube !!!

3:58 am

metaleather

open day? like a reception?

3:58 am

herinfernallady

mmm that is funny m3

3:58 am

spanner

Well then you have time to compose your lovely poem....

3:58 am

Andree

lol haz

3:59 am

Haz1558

Karys - it'll be fantastic so go ahead and be excited. I'm thrilled and I'm not even going to be there!

3:59 am

Haz1558

Unless......

3:59 am

FMitch

I've bought a hat already :)

3:59 am

Karys

I didn't want a 'proper' reception, it sort of defeats the object of going away to get married, so it's supposed to be just a casual sort of drop in event.

4:00 am

Karys

LOL FMitch

4:00 am

spanner

Good. We'll all drop in.

4:00 am

Karys

be there in spirit Haz

4:00 am

Andree

it all sounds lovely karys, I am sure it will go well

4:00 am

Haz1558

I can just see us on Christmas Day, all dressed up, hats on, sitting at the computer while the family waits impatiently for their turkey to be served....

4:00 am

Karys

now THAT would be exciting spanner !!

4:01 am

FMitch

LOL Haz!!!!

4:01 am

Karys

ok...ok...I REALLY did laught out loud at that one Haz !!

4:01 am

spanner

We'll all wear babble tee shirts so you can recognise us...oh and big hats

4:01 am

metaleather

and our icons would be pictures of the pressies we'd like to give, or of the charities to which we would give

4:02 am

herinfernallady

but haz elton is rich why would you be tight with cash if you had it spend it. i know someone that has spent $20 grand just on the engagement

4:02 am

Haz1558

And trying to explain to our families that no, babble hasn't taken over our lives at all.

4:02 am

Andree

see karys you don't have to worry, we will plan it all for you

4:02 am

spanner

And lying through our teeth...

4:03 am

Karys

sounds like you all get the same reactions from your families that I do here !

4:03 am

FranMag

what day is the wedding karys? i'll email babbler and have big hat day in honor of your cruise wedding.

4:04 am

Karys

Andree...just as a byetheway..we are expecting to see your icon in March !!

4:04 am

FranMag

oh duh christmas day of course

4:04 am

herinfernallady

4:04 am

Karys

ooohh Fran....how lovely !!

4:04 am

Andree

4:05 am

spanner

My sister lives in Sydney..

4:05 am

Karys

no Andree...first time for me, my 'husband to be' has tho...his son lives in Brisbane.

4:06 am

Andree

so you will go to Brisbane too

4:06 am

spanner

Karys, you are a bit of a globetrotter on the sly..

4:07 am

Haz1558

Goodness knows what it will do to your babble rankings but I suppose some things are more important!

4:08 am

Karys

yes...the plan is 2 nights Sydney, 4 nights driving to Brisbane, 4 nights there, then a flight to Darwin for 2 nights then overland trip to Cairns then back to Brisbane

4:08 am

Andree

I just raelised I haven't entered a word for 1/2 hour

4:08 am

Andree

what haz

4:08 am

Haz1558

Can't think of anything offhand, Andreee.

4:08 am

Karys

given up on rankings anyway !

4:08 am

herinfernallady

4:10 am

Haz1558

If babble was a race we would be accusing each other of distraction, but it has been fun. Thank goodness the electricity stayed on otherwise I might never have known about my revised Christmas Day schedule.

4:11 am

Haz1558

Bye Andree and Karys.

4:11 am

herinfernallady

4:11 am

Karys

Haz....I really do think on this occasion, the family must come first !!

spanner

And the need for the big hat.. but its going to be awkward basting the turkey in it...

4:11 am

herinfernallady

4:50 am

Eva

oh damn!

4:51 am

Jacula

Good morning, Eva & Merp. Thank you for the word!:)))

4:51 am

Biltong

Yes, herin, but it would be very expensive and he would have to stay in quarrantine for six months.

4:51 am

Eva

at least usually the words i enter here are complete piffle

4:51 am

Jacula

(I always miss those American spellings on the first grid sweep!)

4:51 am

Eva

Hi Jac-like your lurking cat

4:51 am

Biltong

hi eva

4:52 am

Jacula

Eva - my cat's hiding from Biltong's dog.:)

4:52 am

Eva

and I always miss the British ones

4:52 am

herinfernallady

oh \thats not good. My other halfs parents spent about $10,000 to bring their dog back to australia, she does have an international doggy pasport though

4:53 am

Biltong

where do they come from herin?

4:54 am

herinfernallady

they flew to australia to england then went around europe then back to aus when they wanted to come home, darn dog cost them more than their airfare combinded to return

4:55 am

Biltong

As much as I love my boy, I cannot justify spending that kind of money. Besides, it is not fair to keep them isolated for 6 months anyway. He is better off where he is with my daughter.

4:56 am

metaleather

how do they work things out when they have international dog shows, or other animal exhibitions... I have always wondered about things like that

4:56 am

herinfernallady

oh thats true at least you can visit him, they were looking at living in england then after a year wanted to come home

4:57 am

Biltong

That's a good question metal. Never thought about that.

4:57 am

Andree

1st pe6/21 please

4:58 am

metaleather

it's a type of bird Andree... like the second 6/21, but with the last vowel of the word changed

4:58 am

metaleather

(like the second 6/21 in sound that is)

4:58 am

herinfernallady

um in europe you can get a doggy passport, as for bringing a beast to aus then lots of quarentine, my g/f has a rescue dog as the owners were going to the usa and they were not allowed to export the dog due to its breeding conditions

4:58 am

herinfernallady

sorry andree i didn't have that

4:59 am

metaleather

the dog's breeding conditions?

4:59 am

Andree

thx metal

4:59 am

metaleather

yw

4:59 am

Jacula

Thanks, metal. I hadn't got either pe6 but I have both now.:)

5:00 am

herinfernallady

yep its a french mastiff and male and he had a big 'do not export' on his papers, something to due with his blood line. anyway he got a better onwer.

5:01 am

Biltong

Obviously to avoid cross breeding

5:01 am

metaleather

interesting restriction. it's good he now has a good home.

5:01 am

Jacula

I know the Enable dictionary doesn't allow 'afro' but I still try it every time.:/

5:02 am

Eva

me too

5:02 am

Biltong

same here, Jacula. And every now and then I just check, in case it has changed it's mind, lol

5:03 am

Jacula

LOL, Biltong & Eva. It's not just me then!

5:04 am

Biltong

It's like when you feel peckish and you open the fridge every few minutes, just in case something has appeared or "grown" since you last looked

5:04 am

Mrs Often

Hi all! Just to let you know I just sent Dr God 'the' suggestion that's been lingering for a few days: to add a function where you get a warning asking whether you're sure, if you try to add just one word into the chat

5:04 am

Jacula

Biltong - That sounds more like my son!

5:05 am

Jacula

Hi Mrs Often. Has he replied yet?

5:05 am

Biltong

hi Mrs Often.

5:05 am

Mrs Often

lol, I doubt it, I sent it literally seconds before I started typing my message here

5:05 am

Jacula

I asked him for an edit/delete button years ago but he said it would be difficult due to the site set-up.

5:06 am

Jacula

Things may have changed, though...

5:06 am

herinfernallady

yep and they aren't they aren't a common bred. his sire and the mum was a grand champ he already outweighs his pop. Yes he is in a good home and spoilt rotten, chiro, expensive food, training in security to keep him sane. The are the dumbest dogs about

5:06 am

Tiny

Good Evening Everyone

5:06 am

Andree

hi mrs often

5:06 am

Mrs Often

ah right. well I know he already has a built in warning message when you try to entery an EMPTY message in the chat... so I shouldn't think it's too difficult to add the same if you enter one word...?

5:06 am

Mrs Often

5:06 am

herinfernallady

5:22 am

Wolvie

5:27 am

Jacula

Drat! It won't take 'elvira' my old identity on here.:)

5:27 am

Jacula

I knew it wouldn't but I had to try!

5:28 am

Wolvie

nice try, jac - it takes erica, so what the heck!

5:28 am

Jacula

Yes, but erica is another name for a plant (heather or ling). I think Elvira is just herself. LOL

5:29 am

Wolvie

I know, but still. ;-)

5:30 am

Jacula

I'd have another word if a baby eel was an 'eelet' rather than an 'elver'.

5:31 am

Wolvie

or if one who caught eels were an eeler. :-)

5:32 am

Jacula

Speaking of names - The famous footballer's in here (pe4/5). Never understood why it allows that.

5:32 am

Jacula

Wolvie - true.

5:32 am

Wolvie

me neither, jac. Enable is odd that way. At least to me.

5:33 am

Katydid0615

dictionary.com says it's a variation of what you do to potatos before you fry them.

5:34 am

Jacula

Can't believe I've only just spotted the po4 rhymer!

Jacula

'What Katy Did', Katy.

5:41 am

Haz1558

And What Katy did next.

5:41 am

Jacula

...and 'What Katy Did Next'. By Susan Coolidge.

5:41 am

jazi

:) i love those books

5:41 am

Katydid0615

never heard of it. Katydid was what my dad called me when I was a little bitty girl. I'll have to get them.

5:41 am

Jacula

Snap, Haz. Loved those books.

5:42 am

Haz1558

I read and re-read them as a child. They were wonderful.

5:42 am

Jacula

Katy - I expect that's why he called you that. Yes, you should read them.

5:42 am

Katydid0615

i'll look in the library for them next time i go. The granddaughter might like em.

5:43 am

Jacula

'Little Women', 'Good Wives' and 'Little Men' by Louisa May Alcott enthralled me, too.

5:43 am

majmom

ai 7/40?

5:44 am

Wolvie

radio time majmom

5:44 am

Jacula

majmom - ai7/40 - time given to a record on the radio.

5:44 am

Wolvie

or what a song gets on the radio

5:44 am

Haz1558

What Katy did at school was the other one in the series.

5:44 am

herinfernallady

right that sorted goodnight ill be back in the morning

5:44 am

Wolvie

well folks - must be off to vote, bbl

5:44 am

Haz1558

I can't read the bit where Beth dies in Little Women without floods of tears.

5:44 am

Katydid0615

great! i will definitely check them out.

5:45 am

Wolvie

36 left - leave some good clues for me. :-)

5:45 am

Jacula

Haz - Yes, had forgotten that one. Did you also like the Milly-Molly-Mandy books? I loved the idea of her attic room.

5:45 am

Jacula

Haz - me neither (re Beth).

5:45 am

majmom

ty wolvie and jacula

5:46 am

Haz1558

I read Milly Molly Mandy but don't really remember it too well. Other favourites included Heidi, by Johanna Spyri and of course, Anne of Green Gables and the sequels.

5:46 am

Katydid0615

have a good one wolvie. i'm off myself in about 10 minutes.

5:46 am

Haz1558

Matthew's death is another tear-jerker.

5:47 am

Jacula

Me, too, Haz. MMM books where written by Joyce Lankester Brisley. I still have most of my childhood classic books.

5:48 am

Haz1558

Noel Streatfield was another favourite author.

5:49 am

Jacula

I think I only ever read Caldicott Place, Haz. Noel was a female, did you know?

5:49 am

Haz1558

And someday I must re-read the William books and the Jennings books. I won't revisit Enid Blyton, though. I know where to draw the line!

5:50 am

Jacula

What, not even 'Castle of Adventure' or the Faraway Tree books, Haz?;)

5:50 am

Haz1558

Yes, I knew Noel was a she. 'Ballet Shoe' and 'The Vicarage children' spring to mind; there are probably loads of others tucked away somewhere in my brain.

5:50 am

JFB

The highlight of my visit with my sister who lived in Massachusetts at the time was a trip to the house where Louisa May Alcott wrote her books

5:50 am

Haz1558

It's funny - you come to a point where you realise that Enid just doesn't thrill you any more.

5:51 am

Jacula

JFB - I can imagine! Was it as you expected?

5:51 am

Jacula

Know what you mean, Haz.

5:52 am

JFB

It was great - I could imagine the March family living there.

5:52 am

Jacula

We seem to have started a Babble Reading Circle here! LOL.

5:53 am

JFB

One of the joys of having a daughter is to reread the books you loved as a child with her

5:54 am

Katydid0615

I'm outta here now. have a good day all and see you this evening or tomorrow am. ------> gone

5:54 am

Haz1558

I imagine that babblers are keen on words and therefore voracious readers. Anyway, I must awa' as the Scots would say. I'll be back later to get the remaining 71 words. Bye!

5:54 am

Jacula

64 left here, Haz. See you later.

5:55 am

'Bye Katy. Don't forget to read those books!

ch1212

Just popped in for a sec before going to vote. KARYS -- we just moved here and went to the Alcott house this weekend -- I was so moved I actually cried. Like visiting a childhood friend. My mom collected first editions of Louisa's books, and I grew up with her characters as friends.

6:34 am

Ankhorite

Awww, how nice, Ch1212! We're waiting until 11 to vote, don't want to get trampled.

6:34 am

Tiny, what kind did you endure?

My daughter loved the Betsy-Tacey books when she was little. I would love to plan a vacation around visiting author's birthplaces and such.

6:36 am

Ankhorite

WHOA, Tiny, you are in a truly tiny minority!!! What a narrow escape!!! Congratulations! ! !

6:36 am

ch1212

My daughter is also directing "Little Women" in community theatre in Idaho this December, so I had to buy lots of postcards of the interiors to send her, and some special Alcott souvenirs for her cast members.

6:36 am

SummerRose

Oh,Tiny, God Bless! The books that helped me so much as a teen were "Karen" and "With LOve from Karen"...

6:37 am

Tiny

yes since then I have had a heart attack and a stroke so I am very blessed

6:39 am

SummerRose

I see I've started something!! LOL!

6:39 am

kthdsn

6:39 am

Gail

6:39 am

Ankhorite

Yeah, Rose, but yours was prettier, I should have checked first. Thank you, Gail.

kth - this is our mid term elections for governors and such

6:40 am

Karys

hi and bye ren !

6:40 am

kthdsn

oh ok

6:40 am

Tiny

loom

6:40 am

Ankhorite

KTH, we in the US are voting for many, many offices: some governors, some federal senators, many state representatives and state senators, vast numbers of federal representatives (congress"men")

6:40 am

Tiny

awe shoot

6:40 am

SummerRose

Tiny, check your cursor....

6:40 am

wurdygurl

actually the better description would be we are voting for the lesser of two evils

6:40 am

Ankhorite

It is a hot election because the Republicans currently hold the presidency and both houses of Congress, and may lose one or both houses of Congress.

6:41 am

SummerRose

Amen, Wurdy!

6:41 am

Tiny

sometimes my hands are not as coordinated as I would like them to be

6:41 am

Ankhorite

Or that we HOPE we are voting for the lesser of two evils -- election fraud is expected to be a huge problem.

6:42 am

Ankhorite

Well, Tiny, think we'll cut you some slack, LOL!

6:42 am

kthdsn

there are only two choices?

6:42 am

SummerRose

With all you have been thru, I can understand that! We all do it once in a while..don't sweat it...

6:42 am

Karys

Tiny...you are very young to have had so much to endure.

6:42 am

Ankhorite

KTH, there will usually be three or more listed -- but our smaller parties usually get 2% of the vote or less, and we are winner-take-all, no proportional representation.

6:42 am

wurdygurl

they always say that ank - what we have in America is a bunch of dirty players who are also sore loosers. Run a cleaner campaign...talk about issues instead of who is gay and we might get somewhere

6:43 am

SummerRose

In some places, there are more, but there are two major parties at this time in history, and they both have problems....

6:43 am

sandr

hello hello - how many today?

6:43 am

Tiny

I have had a lot more than I have mentioned

6:43 am

SummerRose

Yeah, Karys, I thought so too -- Tiny, you're only a baby, to have been through so much! 168, Sandr

6:43 am

Tiny

Hi sandr

SummerRose

They are hiding in there...some real obscure ones, and many everyday ones, too...

6:44 am

SummerRose

Want clues, Sandr?

6:44 am

kthdsn

maybe I should learn more about politics, I don't really agree with the whole concept of having a government and so I don't take part in elections, and I don't know much about how it works in britain, let alone america

6:45 am

sandr

i have one 8, but no 7's are there any?

Ankhorite

Oh, dear, Kth.

6:46 am

wurdygurl

I think (and then I will get off my soapbox) that in our country everyone should vote. We have a voice. You mght not like our candidates, but if you don'

6:46 am

wurdygurl

t vote you dont get to complain

6:46 am

sandr

ahh thanks

6:46 am

wurdygurl

I am done now

6:46 am

Uneaixoise

ai7/40 actually has to do with radio rather than flying

6:47 am

kthdsn

in britain more people vote for big brother than the elections

6:47 am

SummerRose

That is so true, Wurdy..I hate it when I see that only 30% of the pop. voted....that's sad...

6:47 am

Tiny

You are allowed an opinion Wurdy

6:47 am

inge

thanks wurdy, if you ever lived in a country where you could not vote freely, you will run to the polls here

6:47 am

SummerRose

Yes, Une, but I was thinking of an airshow....

sorry, back to MY box

6:48 am

Tiny

Inge wrong box

6:48 am

Uneaixoise

ai7/32 is where you leave and arrive

6:48 am

Ragalla

i agree wurdy - if you dont like any of the candidates you should spoil your ballot, at least then your disillusionment/protest is recorded and not mistaken for apathy

6:49 am

sandr

my phantom word is marvel - i keep seeing it

6:49 am

Tiny

me too

6:49 am

SummerRose

and I keep seeing "mavelos"- spelled wrong!

6:49 am

GraceM

this grid is lousy with rodents!

6:49 am

wurdygurl

Actually, I heard someone (wanda sykes I think) saying that you should be appointed to all offices like jury duty. Then you get your summons and you are like "crap! I don't want to be the county commissioner or congressman , or whatever. I thought that was funny

6:51 am

SummerRose

yes, if you include am 5/10 and am 6/21, it is, Grace!

6:51 am

Ankhorite

Some science fiction writer imagined a U.S. where offices are assigned by lot.

6:52 am

wurdygurl

certainly would take away all of the backstabbing and distortion that goes on by both parties. They even attack themselves during primaries and then kiss and make up and crawl right up the winners butt.

6:52 am

wurdygurl

sorry, I did say that I was done didn

6:52 am

wurdygurl

Ankhorite

6:55 am

Tiny

Uneaixoise

6:56 am

Ankhorite

Yeah, Grace, I laughed at that, too, get out the traps!

6:57 am

SummerRose

another pun..how a guy from the Bronx would say "Molar"...

6:57 am

sandr

ahh - thanks all - thats 100 for me. Might be back later for more torture! Have fun all

6:57 am

Uneaixoise

Grand Ole Opry! :-)

6:58 am

Ankhorite

Reminder: if you use Lickety, go hit the websites he has in the bottom right, so he makes a few fractional pennies. It doesn't cover the cost of the site, but it helps. :)

10:20 am

cybernan

10:21 am

hurshy

17

10:21 am

cybernan

you're way ahead of me -- 39 and thinking about going to bj's 2 letter count -- running out of ideas!

10:22 am

hurshy

there've been lots of good clues, so i've rolled along nicely

10:22 am

hurshy

the grid is a bit savir today though :)

10:23 am

hurshy

15

10:23 am

cybernan

savir?

10:24 am

hurshy

haven't you played the enable game yet? it's when you spell words any old way (preferably things that appear in the grid)

10:24 am

cybernan

no -- haven't been around much -- a lot of company over the last 4 weeks.

10:24 am

Haz1558

It's cruelty to spelling, that's what it is.

10:24 am

hurshy

well, it's tres fun

10:25 am

hurshy

lol haz

10:25 am

cybernan

still can't figure out what you meant by savir, though

10:25 am

hurshy

severe

10:26 am

FMitch

LOL Haz that sounds like a line out of My Fair Lady, seomthing Eliza might have said.

10:27 am

Haz1558

Oh dear, it does, doesn't it? I'm not fond of George Bernard Shaw - doesn't so much suggest ideas as hit you over the head with them.

10:28 am

hurshy

lol - that reminds me of my dad, he always used to hit people (not hard) with a Bible and say "the truth hurts"

10:28 am

Haz1558

Wasn't it Shaw who left a considerable amount of money to encourage English to be written phonetically?

10:29 am

Haz1558

He sounds like a wise man, hurshy. Some people should be hit over the head often (not hard)

10:29 am

hurshy

like me for instance!

10:30 am

FMitch

What would Shaw made of mobile text speak?

10:30 am

hurshy

sounds like he'd like it, from haz's description

10:31 am

Haz1558

I hope he would detest it. I think he was opposed to the idiosyncracies of the English language and thought the spelling could be made simpler.

10:32 am

Haz1558

Text speak confined to mobile/cell phones is one thing but examiners are reporting children using it in exams as well!

10:32 am

hurshy

famous female characters in the grid: elvira, leia...

10:32 am

FMitch

I am glad he didn't succeed then as I love the oddities and anomolies that go to make up such a rich and varied language.

10:33 am

Haz1558

I agree, FMitch.

10:33 am

hurshy

me three!

10:34 am

Haz1558

How are you getting on with the grid, FMitch - are you finished?

10:35 am

FMitch

10:36 am

I am democrat as well- but could not in good faith vote for our governor again- and I really can't stand the whole 2 party race- and the green party will hopefully get 1/5 of the vote which will put them on the ballot for next year-

10:52 am

Jacula

Oh my!

11:19 am

bunnyvicious

I need the pe 6/21 to finish please?

11:20 am

Haz1558

Because it relates to Africa, as in Afro-Caribbean.

11:20 am

bunnyvicious

Howdy Cait

11:20 am

gramma

is the pe gas?

11:20 am

cybernan

lol -- that's what I thought, hurshy and jilli also agrees

11:20 am

M3

clue for the fr 6 please x

11:20 am

hurshy

still, it's been a hairstyle for decades - it needs a no cap version for that.

11:20 am

bunnyvicious

Sorry, the first pe 6/21

11:20 am

Jacula

pe6/21 - seabird & pe6/21 vehicle fuel.

11:21 am

Golux13

pe6 is either gas oline or a seabird

11:21 am

cybernan

pe 6 -- a bird -- change last vowel of the gas

11:21 am

caitlyn

Hi bunny!!

11:21 am

Golux13

fr6: chop off the ending of a word for trivial

11:21 am

Haz1558

The first pe6/21 is French for father, then two vowels.

11:22 am

bunnyvicious

I have those two as my last pe 6/21's, but I have a pe 6/21 between to hit and perky. Is it a variation of the gas or bird?

11:22 am

Jacula

bunny - French for father + 2 vowels.

11:23 am

Haz1558

Bunny - take the first three letters of the perky one, then three vowels, all different, ending in the first.

11:23 am

Jacula

Oh, Haz just said that! I must be on a go slow here.

11:23 am

Jacula

Have you finished, btw, Haz?

11:24 am

Haz1558

Yes, I have, Jacula. A bit of a struggle at the end!

11:24 am

I didn't understand the fr 6 clue? Help, please.

11:24 am

Jacula

Congrats, Haz.

11:25 am

bunnyvicious

Yee haw, done (I really need to learn french!!). Thank for your help. It's a pretty day, I'm going out to be destructive. Ya'll have a great afternoon!

11:25 am

Jacula

gramma - fr6 - if you spent money on fripperies you might be told not to be so fr****ous.

11:25 am

Haz1558

The fr6 is usually seen as part of a longer word. F plus the r word meaning enemy or competitor, but change the last vowel.

11:25 am

caitlyn

Bye bunny..have a good day

11:25 am

Jacula

'Bye bunny.

11:26 am

3:00 pm

Scrabbler

I played college tennis for 4 yrs too. Fun times and good teammates.

3:01 pm
