12:31 am

VolleymomDee

wh but not the other one

12:31 am

dcseain

or a, depending :)

12:32 am

Book Doctor Gwen

face it. computer conventions (of spelling, etc) are taking over. in some cases this is very bad, like when videos that start with a number are not correctly alphabetized at the video store . . .

12:32 am

rururocks

i have a wh 7

12:32 am

AtomSmasher420

weed

12:32 am

Book Doctor Gwen

smoke it, atom!! LOL

12:32 am

AtomSmasher420

lol

12:32 am

dcseain

yes, numbers collate after letters, or as if they wer spelled out, depending on convention

12:32 am

rururocks

uh dude wrong spot...

12:33 am

rururocks

lol

12:33 am

Atalante

we have great fun in an online encyclopaedia I work on with letters like AE because sql doesn't recognise them, or misfiles them

12:33 am

cybernan

ty -- got it

12:33 am

Book Doctor Gwen

the "correct" method is to allphabetize them as if they were spelled out. but computers can't do that so they get arranged according to the "computer alphabet"

12:33 am

dcseain

here, those are long deprecated, so likely why sql chokes on them.

12:34 am

VolleymomDee

yw... anyone find the other 7 yet?

12:34 am

Fiber Art

he7

12:34 am

FranMag

hi fiber!

VolleymomDee

oops sorry for the burp

12:35 am

Book Doctor Gwen

12:35 am

rururocks

12:35 am

jesdraggon

12:37 am

rururocks

we 8

12:37 am

dcseain

is ur DB set for UTF-8? That fixes a world of issues.

12:37 am

rururocks

re 8

12:37 am

jesdraggon

and the ne 8 too, ruru.

12:38 am

Atalante

i'll check

12:38 am

12:38 am

jesdraggon

12:40 am

Erda

12:41 am

Fiber Art

he7

12:41 am

jesdraggon

peahen

12:41 am

Erda

was a joke, jes

12:41 am

Fiber Art

not a very tidy hen

12:41 am

jesdraggon

sorry, erda, didn't see fiber's comment until after i typed that in

12:41 am

jesdraggon

<---- is slow sometimes

12:41 am

72 Temple Owl

ty

12:41 am

rururocks

uric chicken?

12:42 am

Erda

yup

12:42 am

Erda

do chickens pee?

12:42 am

Book Doctor Gwen

birds don't pee exactly. they have only one chute, so it's a combo operation

12:42 am

dcseain

they're birds, so they eliminate, rahter than pee/poop - i forget the term for the combined

12:43 am

jesdraggon

it's called urates in a bird, not urine

12:43 am

Erda

ah -- live and learn

12:43 am

dcseain

ty, jes

12:43 am

cybernan

25 for tomorrow -- good night, all :)

12:44 am

AtomSmasher420

they peep

12:44 am

dcseain

g'night, nan

12:44 am

DR1965

night Nan

12:44 am

AtomSmasher420

pee + poop = peep

12:44 am

Book Doctor Gwen

try cloaca

12:44 am

jesdraggon

the urates and feces come out together, but are actually separate things. so if you look at the droppings on your car, the white stuff is the urates, the black/brown/green is the feces.

12:44 am

jesdraggon

now aren't you all glad to know that?

12:44 am

Fiber Art

I accidently got the wh7!!

12:44 am

AtomSmasher420

i thought that's what they did on Wednesday, but I guess it didn't work

the tech said they have to try different things, i guess troubleshoot to find the right solution.

1:37 am

hmmm, why not give new modem then?

it's more likely the wiring and stuff going to the modem

2:15 am

dcseain

ciao, MVA

2:16 am

congrats, DC. that's a miserable position to be in. my favorite author themed one whole novel around the hazards of having people train their bosses

2:16 am

2:18 am

dcseain

if all goes well, by spring i'll be back on days. which will do wonders for my sleep. :)

2:18 am

dcseain

i'll babble less on days though, as day shift is busy

2:18 am

tygerbryght

and will give you a different boss, I trust?

2:19 am

plus, i like the chat better at night.

2:19 am

but you can babble from home, can't you?

2:19 am

2:30 am

yall of us went to Ameland, dc, a dutch island. 5 friends in a cottage with sauna and swimmingpool, playing the transformation game and having a special and great time. I feel like it has been at least 3 weeks. Even if it was only 5 days :)

2:31 am

dcseain

how very lovely! :D

2:31 am

dcseain

sounds like just what you needed

2:32 am

sprite

oh yes, it was! For all of us. We booked for next year on the last day, no doubt in anyone's mind!

2:33 am

sprite

and how is life in babble land?

2:33 am

dcseain

hm. i wonder who yokowong776 will prove to be.

2:34 am

dcseain

pretty well. My elder cat has a cone on, and has antibiotics due to recent vet trip. though his mouth is healing, unhappy as he is.

2:34 am

dcseain

i feel guilty going to work, but alas, i need money for him as well as me. :)

2:35 am

sprite

LOLL dc, of course you do, and he will be fine. He is lucky to have an owner that takes care of him so well. And I don't know any yokowong... new babbler?

2:35 am

dcseain

sharing a youtube vid w/me whoever it is. :)

2:36 am

dcseain

i know enough people, or am known by enough, could be right near anyone :D LOL

2:36 am

sprite

oh, lol, on facebook? I haven't opened it yet, if I go there, I am afraid I won't play babble for a long time ;)

2:37 am

lynxxx

Lots of new Babblers from Tangleword - which is dead to their distress

2:37 am

FranMag

sprite, i can only imagine how many notifications and invitations you have by now!

2:37 am

dcseain

mayhap. i'm making nearly as many random connections on facebook as i've made on LJ. Little harder to get to know people well on facebook, though time will likely make me reconsider that

2:37 am

sprite

argh, I see, that is really frustrating for them. Dead as in forever?

2:37 am

dcseain

very true, lynxxx

2:38 am

dcseain

seems so, sprite

2:38 am

sprite

I am really sorry for them. Can you imagine Babble going dead on us? *shudders*

2:38 am

dcseain

oh, the K gets used :)

2:38 am

lynxxx

Yes, apparently the crowd that took it over a while ago is no longer supporting and referring them to other games

2:39 am

FranMag

iWin told helenkeller today that they will have no more classic games.

2:39 am

FranMag

why, so it does, thanks dc!

2:39 am

BabbleRabble

What three-syllable word was combined with the word icicle to coin the word popsicle?

2:39 am

dcseain

yw, fran. it took me by surprise!

2:39 am

sprite

lollipop, I think

2:40 am

sprite

and hi BabbleRabble :)

2:40 am

FranMag

hi babrab!

2:40 am

BabbleRabble

Answer: lollypop

The name popsicle was coined as a trademark in 1923 by Frank Epperson of Oakland, California. He coined it by contracting the phrase lollypop icicle.

2:40 am

lynxxx

Hi BabRab

2:40 am

dc, I am sorry, what do you mean?

2:41 am

sprite

what did I win, BabbleRabble? ;)

2:41 am

dcseain

i was mocking ur mistake, that's all :)

2:42 am

BabbleRabble

The word cryometer is to cold as what word is to hot?

2:42 am

sprite

argh... ok *feels adequately chastised*

2:42 am

sprite

thermometer?

2:42 am

FranMag

thermometer?

2:42 am

BabbleRabble

Answer: pyrometer

Cryometers measure very low temperatures; whereas pyrometers measure very high temperatures. The former derives from the Greek kryos, frost; the latter from the Greek pur, fire.

2:42 am

FranMag

ooh, we're both wrong!

2:43 am

sprite

but in unison, as usual :D

2:43 am

2:59 am

BabbleRabble

and it is quite predictable that each time you find a word there is one less word to find

3:00 am

sprite

unless the word you find is A. a phantom B. one you already had.

3:00 am

FranMag

LOL (to both of you)

I can't believe reWe4/9 is not a word. If there is one thing we have to do over and over and over again, it is reWe4ing our gardens.

3:03 am

FranMag

you and jilli both sprite

3:04 am

sprite

ah, that is a consolation... it is always nice to know jilli and i are of one mind :)

BabbleRabble

babble is not a game of words; it is a process of filling slots .... and the word police is a martinet

3:04 am

dcseain

LOL, so true, babrab :D

3:05 am

sprite

only too true!

3:05 am

dcseain

lots of re+ words are not in Enable, sprite. Enable hates us.

3:05 am

FranMag

another astute observation babrab! :-)

3:06 am

sprite

I try to be too spiritually evolved to hate Enable right back, dc... *grumble grumble harharharrrr*
Would kicking it count?

3:07 am

herinfernallady

Hi

sprite

hi lady

3:08 am

BabbleRabble

I have fun with the indignation over stupid words; or weird words

3:08 am

BabbleRabble

3:08 am

herinfernallady

SPrite Mr Pres says Hi and I hope you had fun

3:08 am

dcseain

3:09 am

sprite

ah, thanks lady!

3:09 am

BabbleRabble

even a nonce word

3:09 am

sprite

oh, I agree, BabbleRabble, but it is so wonderful to be able to grumble at Enable and not to be alone in that :)

dcseain

3:19 am

BabbleRabble

Karys

that was my third visit, and I would still like to go again

4:26 am

dcseain

next time you're going do let me know. I have 3 pages of restaurant/bakery recommendations from a friend of mine. Wonderful places, if not always the least expensive, not usually the most expensive either.

Thanks for letting me feel you care, dc :)

dcseain

i do, sprite. the energizing time away indubitably helps

4:51 am

sprite

for sure! Isn't it great :D
And now to take it easy and not go thinking I can do it all again from now on, but taking it one step at a time, LOL... but I think I can do that.

5:33 am

jan

Colored hair red...

5:34 am

lshult

jan

NIght all...back to bed. Happy babbling.

Iknow, decorations go up so early it's ridiculous

6:13 am

bonkler

xmas...ick. i'm already sick of carols in every store i go to. somehow buying tooth paste, a loaf of bread and cat food for the boss doesn't bring out the spirit of the "holiday".

6:13 am

hydra

That is FAR too early. Ridiculous!

6:13 am

herinfernallady

And then the crappy carols start

6:13 am

Karys

ooops..herin...you ok ?

6:14 am

herinfernallady

Bonkler we will have hot cross buns on News Years Day and no im not kidding.

6:16 am

Karys

herinfernallady

Christmas is sorted for lunch and tea we (the b.f and i) are invading his Aunts all day

6:18 am

6:20 am

hydra

Now I see it. I shall slap myself in the face with a wet haddock forthwith.

6:20 am

EspritdJean

gently tho

6:21 am

hydra

And I'll make sure it isn't frozen. Not like my friend who was presented with a frozen duck as his prize in a raffle, dropped it on his foot and broke all his toes!

6:23 am

EspritdJean

6:23 am

herinfernallady

hydra

6:24 am

EspritdJean

6:24 am

EspritdJean

it gives you the 1st 2 letters, how many letters and how many points

7:14 am

8:49 am

montreal13

pabtrek

morning Nonnie

8:50 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Nono. My number is one off from the large animal veterinary practice out here. So people often call with birthing emergencies for calves and foals, etc. I have thought about showing up at their farms as I am a pediatrician anyway.

8:50 am

NonnieLight

Hello, montreal!

8:51 am

montreal13

lol scrabs

8:51 am

NonnieLight

Hiya annie, pab, nono and scrabs--and anyone I may have missed. Snow? Who has snow?

8:51 am

Scrabbler

WE have snow and a snow advisory through tomorrow AM. Wahoooo for winter!

8:51 am

NonoNanette

lol scrabs you could take care of the newborn for them

8:52 am

NonnieLight

I wish we had snow. I love snow days :o)

8:52 am

montreal13

here in Montreal, all white this AM under a beatiful sunny sky with minus 12 degrees ! who could ask for more ? ... well, maybe Nono...

8:52 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I can take care of calves, foals, lambs, etc. Human babies are just the same, without as much hair.

8:53 am

NonoNanette

thanks for excluding me montreal LOL

8:53 am

montreal13

lol

8:54 am

NonnieLight

We get yu
k and ice. Snow is much better.

8:54 am

Scrabbler

I used to date a vet and I explained that I am a vet for young human animals that also bite, kick, hit, pinch, spit, pee and poop on me and rip off my glasses.

8:54 am

NonnieLight

hmmm...that was supposed to be "yuk"

8:54 am

montreal13

nicely put scrabs !

8:55 am

Scrabbler

I am a veterinarian for just one species of animal.

8:55 am

Atalante

but at least they don't have to have Elizabethan collars to stop scratching :P

8:55 am

NonnieLight

lol ata

8:56 am

Scrabbler

Many should, Ata--we see infected rashes, picked-at sores, etc.

8:56 am

Atalante

oh yes. but our hands are too clever. we get round these things

8:57 am

NonoNanette

nonnie is your icon representing current conditions?

8:57 am

Scrabbler

Actually for kids there are arm braces that prevent the elbows from bending. Parents get upset when hospitalized kids have them on.

8:57 am

montreal13

but the collars could help us humans catch a signal from another alien species...

8:57 am

NonnieLight

No, nono. No here :o( Our weather has turned a bit colder but no precip in sight.

8:58 am

Scrabbler

I always have an aluminum foil hat on to protect myself.

8:58 am

Atalante

I could have done with them! My mother used to have to tape thick mittens onto my hands to stop me scratching ezcema!

8:58 am

NonoNanette

ah thank goodness for that nonnie,,, I fear we may have that ice by tomorrow night

8:58 am

montreal13

8:59 am

NonnieLight

Oh no...not ice! We had an ice storm several years back that knocked out our power for a week! Some poor souls where without for nearly a month! I hope a pray yours passes quickly and without much aggrevation.

9:00 am

Atalante

9:00 am

Atalante

9:00 am

NonoNanette

9:01 am

montreal13

9:02 am

montreal13

luc it is then ! - asthma took away my childhood in effect - it wasn't until i was 13 that i got the (in)famous allergy tests...

9:03 am

NonnieLight

yes, nono...
wrongness would be a good thing!

9:04 am

Atalante

same here with bronchitis. I had very bad ezcema till I was about 4, and I mean about 70-80% body coverage, but luckily I dont really remember that. Then bronchitis till I was about 14. I was off school from about October - February nearly every year with stupid bronchitis attacks. Then asthma, and thats been the best of the three so far!

9:05 am

Atalante

though I still end up in hospital nearly every year for a few days!

9:05 am

NonnieLight

Oh, ata and montreal...I feel for you as my youngest suffers with similar conditions.

9:06 am

montreal13

i think u had it worst then me Ata ((hugs)) - it took 4 and a half years of injections to de-sensitize me from all those allergies - have been asthma-free since the age of 18...

9:06 am

NonoNanette

126 and FIREWORKS!!

9:06 am

Atalante

Atalante

9:07 am

montreal13

but at least Nonnie, there are some medications that one can take plus those inhalators - there was nothing in the olden days...

9:08 am

NonnieLight

She was finally diagnosed with ichthosis vulgarus (I'm sure I spelled that wrong).

9:08 am

montreal13

yes ata - 4½ years - once every week, then every 2 weeks, 3 weeks etc...

9:08 am

Atalante

oh ick, thats horrid, poor girl

9:08 am

bbnaz

rockets here! and Nono, I love the whimsy of your video today!

9:09 am

NonnieLight

Yes, montreal...she was put on the medications at an early age which helped her.

9:09 am

Atalante

there is no *way* I could have done that, luc! my poor mother pretty much had to chloroform me to get me to the drs for any jab, let alone one each week LOL

9:09 am

NonnieLight

congrats bbnaz!

9:09 am

montreal13

wtg BB !!

9:09 am

9:10 am

NonnieLight

Ata, poor thing...are you still afraid of needles?

9:11 am

montreal13

9:11 am

NonoNanette

9:12 am

NonnieLight

and may no ice come your way...

9:12 am

Atalante

not so much - well, I was never really scared of them. They *hurt*. And no-one believed me for years that they hurt more than anyone else's injections do LOL, then we found out I'm also allergic to some types of metal. Inlcuding the type they make hypo syringes out of. So any injection I have hurts for about a month or two afterwards. Great.

9:13 am

montreal13

(((Ata)))

9:13 am

Atalante

lol doesnt bother me now cos I'm used to it. But as a kid I was very unimpressed

9:14 am

NonnieLight

For goodness sake! I'm so sorry for you...that had to have been awful.

9:15 am

Atalante

it certainly wasn't fun. but it could have been worse

9:16 am

NonnieLight

I try to remember that some things we have to endure during our childhood hopefully helps to make us stronger adults.

9:17 am

montreal13

in some ways, i guess they do Nonnie..

9:17 am

weegee

Good day, all! Only starting here but had such a nice chat yesterday after long absence I just had to say hello.

9:21 am

Atalante

hi weegee

9:21 am

NonnieLight

hello weegee and welcome back!

9:21 am

weegee

hey, ata. saw your notes about allergy shots. I get 2 a week now, have for about 2 years, molds in one arm, the rest in the other. Hey, nonnie!

9:22 am

gwenski

Nonnie: le5: take a four-letter word for Christmas, reverse it, then finish it with a vowel

9:22 am

Atalante

really? Wow. You're brave :D

9:23 am

NonnieLight

thank you, gwen

9:23 am

NonnieLight

I hope you get good results with the shots, weegee.

9:23 am

gwenski

You're welcome. And good morning, all!

9:24 am

weegee

NO, ata! Lost 6+ weeks of work and 250+ hours of accrued sick leave a couple of years ago. Haven't had so much as a sniffle since starting shots, also twice daily generic benadryl - doesn't make me sleepy like some; rather, hyper!

9:24 am

weegee

Hi gwen!

9:24 am

Atalante

yes! I consider that very brave LOL!

9:24 am

NonnieLight

OK, I'm outta here. My husband offered to make breakfast and I think I should give a little assistance ;O) Take care all.

9:25 am

weegee

For shots, I just close my eyes and think of England, lol!

9:25 am

ypsigirl

9:25 am

Atalante

do you go to the drs or can you do them yourself?

9:28 am

weegee

doc's office. Not legal here yet to self inject, which makes no sense since people self-inj insulin when needed. I hope nasal sprays get approved soon

9:28 am

weegee

doc's office. Not legal here yet to self inject, which makes no sense since people self-inj insulin when needed. I hope nasal sprays get approved soon

9:29 am

Atalante

9:29 am

weegee

9:30 am

Atalante

9:31 am

weegee

9:32 am

Atalante

Dana*

9:37 am

Anniebrook

Dana, you can scroll down to Lickety's Babble Clues and get the first 2 letters of every word in the grid

9:37 am

Anniebrook

It will also tell you how many letters in the word and the point value of the word

9:38 am

Atalante

or you can be masochistic and do it listless LOL

9:38 am

Dana*

either way... is tempting. haha!

9:38 am

Anniebrook

Yes, Atalante has a point there if you are inclined

9:39 am

Anniebrook

Piles of laundry to do...anyone want a clue before I go?

9:39 am

Atalante

all depends on your level of stubbornness LOL

9:40 am

Anniebrook

11:47 am

Atalante

haz! we have another spanielette on babble :) called Pokey71, she has 2 cockers

11:50 am

Haz1558

Aha - another spaniel fancier? She shows good taste.

11:50 am

Haz1558

Is Pokey another Tangleword exile?

11:50 am

sassyB

anyone have clues for the re5/10 and 6/18?

11:51 am

sassyB

before i pull my hair out!!

11:51 am

Haz1558

re5/10 - add another consonant to the preceding re4/4, then plural it.

11:51 am

Atalante

not sure where she appeared from, but she has a 5 month cocker and a 12 year old cocker. very sensible

11:51 am

Haz1558

(The last two letters could be short for a street or a saint, if that's any help, sassy)

11:52 am

Haz1558

A 5 month cocker would be lovely. I saw a baby springer the other day. Thought about kidnapping it from the owner, but decided against it.

11:53 am

sassyB

thx so much, haz. i think i seriously have a hatred for re words after yesterday's grid

11:53 am

Haz1558

They were a bit disporportionate yesterday, I'll give you that.

11:54 am

Atalante

I think I might have done. liver or black?

11:54 am

Haz1558

Liver. It had stopped in the street, obviously exhausted, and the owner swept it up in his arms. So cute!

11:55 am

Atalante

darling!

11:55 am

Haz1558

I might have staged an intervention if the owner had been nasty, but he seemed to be caring!

11:56 am

Atalante

good. we like caring spaniel owners

11:57 am

Haz1558

Have you been up to any artistic endeavours today?

11:58 am

Atalante

oh yes. but its Secret

11:58 am

harpjane

hello

11:58 am

Haz1558

Hello harpjane.

11:58 am

Haz1558

Oooh, Secret. Do we talk in hushed whispers?

11:59 am

Atalante

too secret even for hushed whispers!

12:00 pm

Haz1558

Gosh, do we need to speak in code? Or should it not even be talked about at all?

12:00 pm

Atalante

not to be talked about - yet :)

12:00 pm

Judi

Afternoon, cats and kittens (and spaniels)!

12:00 pm

gracewer

12:01 pm

Haz1558

Good afternoon Judi - the spaniel greets you also.

12:01 pm

Haz1558

12:03 pm

Haz1558

If Judi is the good cop, who's going to be the bad cop? 'Tell us, or the puppy gets it!'

12:03 pm

Atalante

dont like meringue! haha!

12:04 pm

Judi

Nonsense. I'm always the bad cop. *Dangles chocolate in front of puppy*

12:04 pm

tizer

clue pls for ae 5

12:04 pm

Haz1558

Is it poisoned chocolate?

12:05 pm

Haz1558

ae5 - has the same ending as the March date that Caesar was to beware.

12:05 pm

Haz1558

Or, ae plus the start of Othello's wife's name.

12:05 pm

Haz1558

Or ae plus what comes before Miserables on stage.

12:06 pm

Haz1558

Scrub the last one.

12:06 pm

Haz1558

That would make it Some Glums instead of The Glums.

12:06 pm

12:09 pm

12:10 pm

cybernan

12:12 pm

cybernan

12:12 pm

Haz1558

You're practically done, cybernan. One last push with the list.

Finished- going to start my day

12:41 pm

BabbleRabble

a di 6 is a comma type of musical interval, usually meaning the difference between three justly tuned major thirds (tuned in the frequency ratio 5:4) and an octave (in the ratio 2:1), equal to 128:125 or about 41.06 cents. In 12-tone equal temperament, on a piano for example, three major thirds in a row equal an octave, but three justly-tuned major thirds fall quite a bit flat of an octave, and the diesis describes the amount by which they are flat.

12:41 pm

BabbleRabble

congrats, DR

2:17 pm

It was done by request of the Royal Navy and there was a Lieut-Commander present -- more to arrive for tonight's performance IF they can get here from Victoria -- big snowstorm!

2:18 pm

tygerbryght

I've got a muscle relaxer, but haven't been taking it lately. it never seems to help me a whole lot, but maybe it would now I've been off it for a while

2:18 pm

Jacula

Hetty must be so proud and excited, jilli.

2:19 pm

jillibus

Hetty is EXHAUSTED!

2:19 pm

Jacula

BBS - laundry to see to.

2:20 pm

jillibus

The Navy chap had come over from England and is staying with Hetty. He has a marvellous singing voice and joined in the songs included in the performance -- also gave a sampling during the interval. Wow!

2:21 pm

EvaNadine

any hints for the S on the right or the Es in the row beneath it?

2:22 pm

Haz1558

Let me have a look for you.

2:23 pm

jillibus

I have a word for the S but can't figure our which one came from there

2:24 pm

2:26 pm

I couldn't figure out if she was a friend or relative :)

2:26 pm

Haz1558

2:27 pm

EvaNadine

2:27 pm

EvaNadine

2:27 pm

tygerbryght

for those e words, Eva, one of them refers to the letter E

2:27 pm

Haz1558

se5/10 - plural of se4/4 , looking like a different rendition of a sea animal.

2:28 pm

Pokey_71

woo hoo...fireworks!!

2:28 pm

tygerbryght

I'm generally useless for things like figuring out which of several choices originated a given word. I just churn away at all of them :P

2:29 pm

tygerbryght

yay, pokey

2:29 pm

Jacula

Well done, Pokey.

2:29 pm

Haz1558

Congratulations Pokey!

2:29 pm

tygerbryght

every one I get is a plus, doesn't matter where I found it :D

2:29 pm

Haz1558

It only becomes meaningful, tyger, when you're asked for a specific location for a clue.

2:30 pm

tygerbryght

I know Haz. I was just trying to apologize for not being much help

2:30 pm

Haz1558

It's okay, you've probably helped others get words.

2:31 pm

tygerbryght

I try to do clueing every day, when I can

2:31 pm

tygerbryght

I feel so indebted for the times when I need clues

2:32 pm

tygerbryght

and too often, when I need help, I seem totally brainless

2:32 pm

Jacula

29 to find and I'm slowing down now.

2:33 pm

Haz1558

Sedate walk instead of mad dash?

2:34 pm

Jacula

Puff, pant... gasp... yes, Haz.

2:35 pm

Haz1558

Company's just arrived, better greet them!

2:35 pm

Jacula

Wonder why you can't rewe4/9? My garden constantly requires it!

2:35 pm

tygerbryght

dunno, jac. I tried that one, too

2:35 pm

Jacula

See you later, Haz.

2:35 pm

2:36 pm

2:44 pm

tygerbryght
