LOL okay! *looking*

12:10 am

Jandy

darty???? Where did that Y come from? Oh well, suppose it makes a change from the @ I usually put in by accident!

12:10 am

stidmama

never heard that term, Jandy -- what does it mean?

12:11 am

Jandy

It means that the lease is my responsibility but the company administers the payments and stuff... it's a way to pay your car lease from pre-tax earnings, if that makes sense there...

12:11 am

stidmama

oh! one from each tile already!

12:12 am

stidmama

I think it does make sense. I don't think there is anything like that in the U.S. but then, it's been 18 years since I purchased a new car (and never leased one)

12:12 am

Jandy

wtg stid...

12:13 am

Jandy

It's one of the very few ways left for us to decrease our taxable income, and you have to do at least 25,000km per year to make it worthwhile..

12:13 am

stidmama

3:46 am

mrpresident

3:48 am

Dianne

Hey FMitch - yes, it has been ages. All good with you?

3:49 am

mrpresident

poor lickety was changing my dressing last night... almost turned his stomach. He called the nurses today and said enough is enough.
He didn't like to see the suffering

3:49 am

FMitch

All is well and spring is coming, its going to be warm today!!!!!

3:50 am

Karys

Was lovely here yesterday mitch

3:51 am

FMitch

Happy days :)

3:52 am

cool girl

could i please have a clue for the en5/12 please

3:52 am

lynxxx

Do you stil have the nurse coming each day MRP?

3:52 am

Karys

Even went to a garden centre yesterday and spent ages dreaming about and hoping for a nice, warm summer !

3:52 am

Haz1558

Karys, have you any holiday plans? It must be at least a week since you went anywhere?

3:52 am

lynxxx

Hi Cool, en5.12 the finisher

3:53 am

Karys

LOL Haz.... nothing now til June, then it's the cruise for Susannah's 21st

3:53 am

cool girl

ty lynxx

3:54 am

Haz1558

See, I knew you'd have something in the pipeline. Make sure you don't lose your slip on the cruise like someone I know.

3:54 am

Haz1558

Where do you go in June?

3:54 am

FMitch

LOL Haz

3:54 am

Karys

OOO...do tell Haz

3:55 am

Haz1558

It's a long story - okay it's not that long but if FMitch doesn't mind it being retold?

3:55 am

mrpresident

lynxx, no, I have been discharged from post acute care now. They took my bloods today, removed my line and closed my file until end of May.
I do have to do my own injections for recovery meds though, cause I refuse to go back to hospital every three days... stubborn old mule that I am

3:56 am

Karys

It's just for 5 days round the Med Haz, thought it might be long enough for daughter to put up with us, although her long standing boyfriend is coming too.

3:56 am

FMitch

IT definately bears telling again Haz, sucha laugh!

3:56 am

Karys

Don't ell me it has something to do with mitch AGAIN !!!

3:56 am

Haz1558

My sister-in-law is a teacher and quite a number of years ago she was on a school cruise along with the rather fussy headmistress. The headmistress was in her fifties, lived at home with a very stern mother and was a bit strange.

3:57 am

FMitch

No!! Nothing to do with me Karys.

3:57 am

Haz1558

Anyway, a couple of days into the cruise, the headmistress raised the alarm that her slip (petticoat) had disappeared.

3:57 am

Karys

(makes a change)

3:57 am

Haz1558

She was in quite a state. Accused everyone of having made away with it, even decided that someone had fashioned an implement to reach it from the porthole etc.

3:58 am

Haz1558

After quite a hue and cry, the steward reached under her pillow and found the slip - he had thought it was her nightdress.

3:58 am

Karys

LOL

3:59 am

Haz1558

The headmistress was terribly relieved. Mainly because, as she told everyone, it was a brand new slip, HER MOTHER HAD PACKED HER CASE, and how on earth could she explain to mummy that her new slip had disappeared?

3:59 am

Karys

Oh dear....poor lady !!!

3:59 am

Haz1558

So, make sure you keep your slip with you at all times. That's my motto for the day.

4:00 am

Haz1558

Such a shame. She only had a year or two's retirement before she died and the tyrannical mother reigned on.....

4:00 am

lynxxx

MRP that sounds like progress. Good on you for handling the injections. Is Maddison a help for you, I know my daughter (at 12/13) was a great help when I was 'in the wars'.

4:01 am

Karys

I suppose, at least she did get to go on the cruise !

4:01 am

Haz1558

That's true. She must have got special permission.

4:01 am

lynxxx

You wonder how many potential husbands that mother frightened off!

4:02 am

Karys

In writing, no doubt, and in triple, just for good measure, do you think ?

4:02 am

mrpresident

Lynxx, maddison is a wonder... but my son, Luke, is proving to be a wonderful help too! They are being marvellous. Luke would jab me with the needle himself if given the opportunity!! LOL

4:02 am

FMitch

Good point lynxxx

4:02 am

Haz1558

I don't know, lynxxx. It was funny and tragic all at the same time.

4:02 am

Karys

Thats true lynxxx

4:02 am

FMitch

Support like that is great MrP!

4:02 am

mrpresident

Haz, that is some story! She had... issues?

4:02 am

Haz1558

She wasn't mother-in-law material, that's for sure.

4:03 am

Karys

How old are Maddison and Luke MrP ?

4:03 am

Haz1558

From what I can gather, the mother just was extremely controlling. There was another daughter who lived at home as well, a high-ranking civil servant, but she was under the thumb just as much.

4:03 am

Haz1558

She must have had a VERY strong personality.

4:03 am

toadandtoadette

hahaha phantom word of the day... is... PHANTOM

4:04 am

lynxxx

BBS must do the mother thing myself and make start some dinner for when the troops come home

4:04 am

FMitch

Bye lynxxx

4:04 am

Haz1558

Good morning TandT. See you later, lynxxx.

4:04 am

mrpresident

see ya soon lynxx :)

4:04 am

mrpresident

hi toad!

4:05 am

Karys

bye lynxxx

4:05 am

toadandtoadette

hi haz

4:05 am

mrpresident

Karys, they are just turned 9 and 10

4:05 am

Karys

Hi Toads.....lovely picture

4:05 am

toadandtoadette

thank you Karys

4:07 am

Karys

Good to have them there for you MrP...won't be long before Madisson takes over then !!!!...( girls are like that )

4:07 am

FMitch

Hey MrP for once we are both on line at the same time but yr not on yahoo

4:08 am

FMitch

Haz have you got the good weather too?

4:08 am

Karys

Right, that's it for now, 88 to find, but I must go back to.......... quilt making !!!!

4:08 am

Haz1558

Yes, it's lovely today again although we had rain overnight.

4:09 am

FMitch

Oh wow Karys

4:09 am

Haz1558

Quilt-making, Karys? We could be twins.

4:09 am

Haz1558

I can feel the hives coming out.

4:09 am

Karys

You too Haxz ?

4:09 am

FMitch

? you don't sew Haz - stop teasing Karys

4:10 am

Karys

Oh yes...I forgot, Haz doesn't know which way round the needle goes.

4:10 am

Haz1558

You'd wait a long time for me to make a quilt. I'll just admire from the sidelines. (My approach to sport as well)

4:11 am

Haz1558

I'll have you know I had a needle in my hand the other day.

4:11 am

Haz1558

Mind you, it was to try and get a skelf out of husband's finger, but it was in my hand.

4:11 am

Karys

I agree with you about sport Haz, although I do like fishing now and again.

4:11 am

Haz1558

The needle, not the skelf.

4:11 am

FMitch

Oh for those th5 might have missed it Dr_G was on last night and put a linu up at the top of the page. Aparently babble has made it into fiction!

4:12 am

Karys

skelf ?...skelf ?

4:12 am

Haz1558

Fishing by the side of a gentle river or that sea-fishing where you're lashed to the side of the boat?

4:12 am

FMitch

skelf = splinter?

4:12 am

Haz1558

A skelf - a splinter.

4:12 am

Flask1

Good morning all......clue please for at7 please?

4:12 am

FMitch

Morning Flask

4:13 am

Karys

Oh, the sunny day, gentle river, picnic kind, definately.

4:13 am

Haz1558

Good morning Flask.

4:13 am

Karys

A much better word than splinter !

4:13 am

Flask1

Hey Haz...and Mitch!

4:13 am

Karys

Hello there Flask

4:13 am

Flask1

Hi Karys!

4:13 am

Haz1558

I had thought so, Karys, though I was prepared to be surprised. Fishing like that (the sea kind) must be exhilerating in a lose the contents of your stomach kind of way.

4:14 am

Haz1558

Yes, skelf sounds sharp, splinter sounds lame in comparison.

4:14 am

Karys

Looks too much like hard work for me to enjoy it Haz !

4:15 am

Haz1558

I know. The gentle stuff sounds more relaxing.

4:15 am

mrpresident

fmitch, yahoo died!!

4:15 am

FMitch

Flask don't think there is an at7

4:15 am

mrpresident

let me try and get you via mail

4:15 am

Flask1

Ooops!...Sorry An7 please.......sorry folks!

4:16 am

FMitch

Who killed yahoo - theres a plot for you Haz

4:16 am

Karys

Right, back in a bit....bye for now

4:16 am

Haz1558

Who killed yahoooooo? I'll have to think about that one.

4:16 am

Karys

Flask....I have that one.... really old, just like me, but valuable, just like me !!!

4:16 am

FMitch

Toodles Karys

Flask - Michale Aspel just stepped down from this an7 programme

4:17 am

Haz1558

Bye for now, Karys.

4:17 am

Flask1

thanks Mitch!

4:17 am

kje

thanks for the clue karys

4:18 am

Haz1558

FMitch - have you checked out the literary reference above? Is this a cunning ploy to get us to buy the book. Will the PB feature?

4:19 am

FMitch

I posted a note about that at 4.11 Haz

4:19 am

kje

when do we get our new and improved pb?

4:19 am

Haz1558

And who is Rosina Lippi?

4:19 am

ardilla

hello all just got home from work

4:20 am

Haz1558

Hello ardilla.

4:20 am

kje

hi ardilla - hope your day was tolerable

4:20 am

FMitch

We were wondering if it was your nom de plume Haz but Vi got get worried

4:20 am

FMitch

kje - it might be open now

4:21 am

kje

so must be careful then

4:21 am

Haz1558

It's not me, that's for sure. But we'll have to keep asking. Who knows, it could be just about anybody. Confession time?

4:22 am

ardilla

not as bad today was able to stay in one area so i wasn't winded

4:22 am

kje

only to being rosina... or confessions in general - this could get interesting

4:22 am

kje

hang in there ardilla - hard to believe now, but it really will get better

4:23 am

Haz1558

No, just to being Rosina. I'm not one for hearing too many details of lives.

4:25 am

FMitch

I want to know what it says in the book about babble

4:26 am

FMitch

and how it made it in there it must be a babbler

4:26 am

kje

lets elect someone to go to the bookstore and scan the book for us...

4:26 am

Haz1558

So do I. Are we going to have to buy the book to have our curiousity satisfed? Or do we just sidle off to Waterstones and browse with intent?

4:26 am

kje

that way we won't all get sucked into buying it

4:26 am

kje

browse with intent for us haz

4:26 am

Haz1558

I suppose I could volunteer.

4:27 am

westford

hello to all who came while life interrupted

4:27 am

Haz1558

Anybody else stepping forward? If not, I'll do it.

4:28 am

FMitch

Thats a good idea Haz, I'm out in town today so may have to have a browse

4:28 am

Haz1558

Hello westford.

4:28 am

westford

life = laundry trash and cats

4:28 am

kje

wish I could - but wouldn't have time to hit a store until the weekend

4:28 am

westford

hi haz I need to scroll down and see what's buzzing

4:28 am

Haz1558

And a good motto is not to get them mixed up, westford!

4:28 am

kje

how philosophical of you west - though a depressing philosophy

4:28 am

FMitch

Looks like I might be a likely candidate then

4:29 am

westford

true haz lol

4:29 am

westford

I suppose if you can't clean it or throw it away you have to feed and pet it

4:30 am

Haz1558

Okay, if I have time today, I'll do a stealth read - always providing the book is in the shop. Do I take a camera to photograph the reference or a notebook? We really need Anniebrook's advice on surveillance and keeping under the radar.

4:31 am

FMitch

Helloooo and I invisible?

4:32 am

ardilla

brb

4:32 am

Haz1558

No, not invisible. You're going to town today and will see if you have time, I'll see if I have time this end.

4:32 am

FMitch

teehee phew and thanks

4:33 am

Haz1558

Goodness, I thought you were going to have the vapours there.

4:34 am

FMitch

no I was being genuine, you know me!

4:34 am

JBsAnno

Good morning! No need to visit the bookstore, Haz, the reference is on pg 157, where the character is trying to distract herself from a box of chocolate truffles and even Babble (which she allows herself only in dire circumstances) will not suffice

4:34 am

JBsAnno

**LOVE** the Search Inside feature on Amazon!

4:35 am

kje

cool JB - that's it then - seems kinda lame

4:35 am

Haz1558

So, browsing with intent cancelled?

4:36 am

westford

I missed the name of the book

4:36 am

FMitch

Oh darn I was looking forward to a serupticious peruse

4:36 am

westford

and I just bought a bag of chocolate truffles

4:36 am

JBsAnno

Only if you want to, Haz! I have no idea who the author "really* is, though she has written under the name Sara Donati, per the cover

4:37 am

FMitch

The Pajama Girls west - see link above the chat log

4:37 am

Haz1558

If any of us wrote a novel, I have a feeling Babble would be more heavily involved. Then again, you could imagine book editors wondering what on earth we were talking about.

4:37 am

JBsAnno

West, look up at the very top of the Babble page ^

4:38 am

redturtlehead

HI all.

4:38 am

FMitch

Haz, fancy a collaboration?

4:38 am

westford

that's usually hidden thanks

4:38 am

Haz1558

Good morning red.

4:38 am

JBsAnno

And, really now, how distracting could it be from CHOCOLATE, for goodness' sake, with all the discussions on here about that very thing!

4:38 am

kje

hi red

4:38 am

redturtlehead

We have chocolate covered cranberries tonight.

4:39 am

Haz1558

That would be fun, FMitch. You write, I'll edit and we'll get Atalante to illustrate.

4:39 am

FMitch

Dr_G only pu th4 link up last night.
Hi red

4:39 am

JBsAnno

Me, too, West, I have my screen sized to just have the top of the grid lined with the top of the screen

4:39 am

westford

ooh red that sounds really good like craisins but chocolate covered?

4:39 am

Haz1558

Will he get royalties for the use of the name?

4:40 am

redturtlehead

They were OK, I am not a huge chocolate fan, but brought for co-workers.

4:40 am

FMitch

I was thinking more along the you start the ball rolling and we both write/edit

4:40 am

kje

interesting thought haz

4:40 am

westford

aren't you lucky you don't like chocolate

4:41 am

Haz1558

I have to work out the mystery of who killed Yahooooo first, though.

4:41 am

redturtlehead

Yes, Westford I am, unfortunately I like other things!

4:41 am

westford

bill gates must have done it

4:42 am

FMitch

Anyway maybe catch up later as I must poof as the day is running away from me and th4 is much to do.
Put yahoos de5 on hold this is much more intersting.

4:42 am

westford

red are you on the road now on the way to your new home?

4:42 am

Haz1558

And there's the other tonsorial mystery as well. But I don't want another bucket on my head so I won't be any more specific.

4:42 am

redturtlehead

darn it all, this is not an easy grid, i should not have started it.

4:42 am

FMitch

you're not going to let me forget th4 moment of stress are you :(

4:42 am

Haz1558

Okay, I'll catch up with you later, FMitch. Have a good day!

4:43 am

Haz1558

It was quite funny - I enjoyed it!

4:43 am

westford

haz is the bucket on your head for April Fool's?

4:43 am

redturtlehead

Last night is tomorro night and then I am on the road West. Looking forward to being on the east coast again.

4:43 am

FMitch

Oh good, I will hang onto oit then. No this was yesterday west

4:43 am

westford

we're rolling out the red carpet..you'll see it on 95

4:44 am

Haz1558

No indeed. I was merely musing yesterday on the National, indeed Global Mystery that is Donald Trump's hairdo. FMitch got a bit stressed. I think she fancies him.

4:44 am

Haz1558

The signs are there.....

4:44 am

redturtlehead

LOL thanks West.

4:44 am

westford

well there's not telling

4:45 am

westford

I mean no telling

4:45 am

westford

they're talking about some snow on Friday sure you want to come here red?

4:45 am

FMitch

eeek not true!

4:45 am

redturtlehead

I'm coming to NC, no snow there.

4:45 am

redturtlehead

Only my Sister lives in the frozen north!!!

4:46 am

westford

oh thought you might be coming up here for a few days

4:46 am

Haz1558

There there, FMitch, your secret is safe with us. And don't forget, this IS confession day.

4:46 am

redturtlehead

Oh Noooooo, I visit in summer time.

5:15 am

kje

5:16 am

kje

5:16 am

redturtlehead

I am not a fan of the grid today.

5:16 am

westford

westford

or molasses

5:17 am

kje

molasses for sure

5:17 am

kje

very cold molasses

5:17 am

redturtlehead

its difficult for sure.

5:25 am

kje

does the eq 8 play off the horse prefix?

5:25 am

redturtlehead

dern is too a word!

5:25 am

kje

dern it!

5:25 am

redturtlehead

afte

5:25 am

redturtlehead

5:26 am

redturtlehead

Ooops.

5:26 am

redturtlehead

that was a quickie repair.

5:27 am

westford

I just spent days on that eq8 and don't have it

5:27 am

kje

I still don't know what upgrades we got though

5:27 am

kje

days west? -ha

5:27 am

westford

lots of made up words

5:27 am

kje

I feel I'm on the cusp - but they all fall through!

5:29 am

kje

got it

5:29 am

kje

gonna go see what it means

5:29 am

westford

does it use the horse?

5:30 am

kje

no - the equivalent root instead

5:30 am

kje

no horses in there - and I was sure there would be some horse adverb type things in there

5:31 am

westford

and wouldn't it be nice if equivalent was there?

5:31 am

kje

last 3 letters are the picnic pest if that helps

5:31 am

periwinkle

hi all may I have clues for the 8's and 9's , only have a few minutes to play before I get ready for work

5:31 am

westford

5:33 am

periwinkle

kje

will try to clue it

5:33 am

kje

eq 8 uses prefix meaning equivalent and last three letters are picnic pest

5:34 am

5:44 am

Marmar

Small world!

5:45 am

kje

5:45 am

Scrabbler

Ausgezeichnet, Marmar! Auf Deutsch.

5:45 am

kje

5:46 am

Scrabbler

5:47 am

Marmar

kje, Wurstfest is a hoot! Before I met Steffen, me and a bunch of girlfriends would make a road trip down there and we always had so much fun. It's a huge festival, look at thier website. www.wurstfest.com I think...

5:48 am

kje

5:49 am

Scrabbler

Aber ich bin ein Vegetarian.

5:49 am

kje

amazing what all you can stick a y on

5:50 am

kje

so you can stick to the 'kraut then scrab

5:50 am

Marmar

Of course, having said that, you have to be able to endure lots of um-pa music, men in lederhosen and the occasional yodeler...but the beer flows like a river and you can dance till you drop. Scrabs, they have fantastic potato pancakes there...are you a strict vegetarian?

5:50 am

kje

or the funnel cakes - I bet they have funnel cakes

5:50 am

Scrabbler

No, thanks, I don't want GI distress.

5:50 am

Scrabbler

Potato pancakes? Yummy!

5:51 am

kje

potato pancakes sound good

5:51 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Marmar---no meat, but I eat eggs and fish.

5:51 am

Marmar

I know, there is always the longest line for those. With applesauce of course.

5:51 am

Scrabbler

kje--I became a vegetarian during gross anatomy when I started med school.

5:52 am

Marmar

Oh, I have to go pick up my little one at kindergarten. Much fun to you all!!! Bye.

kje

LOL scrab - yep, that lasted a few weeks for me

5:52 am

kje

5:52 am

Scrabbler

Where do you live in Deutschland, Marmar? And how long did it take you to become fluent? I studied German from 6-12th grades, then another year in college.

5:53 am

kje

ew - can still have flashbacks

5:53 am

Scrabbler

Auf wiedersehen, Marmar.

5:53 am

Scrabbler

Well, kje, that did it for me as far as meat goes. Eeeewwww.

5:54 am

Scrabbler

Hey, I just noticed the QU tile.

5:54 am

Scrabbler

Eleven QU words!!

5:54 am

Marmar

We are north of Frankfurt, outside of Giessen (former big American Army base there) I've been here 11 years and still make 100's of mistakes daily but can survive without a native speaker around. I cannot write worth a flip though. Well, talk to you all later, caio!

We've been able to find really good deals on furniture. It's used, but still nice. My Dad brought us an entertainment center wall unit that we use for display in the living room; a neighbor gave us a smaller one for the television and DVR, with storage for DVDs and books; we bought a brand new bed, an oak coffee table, an office chair, and a rocking chair for less than $500 US.

7:27 am

herinfernallady

P.J.

Angel,if you live in or near a town where there is a collage and a"Good Will" store you can really pick up some good furniture and all kinds of stuff almost dirt cheap! As the students move on they get rid of a lot of their stuff. It is a good place to go!

8:21 am

westford

great ardi

8:21 am

westford

I don't have the se8

8:21 am

Haz1558

se8 - the same structure as a type of song, change one consonant

8:23 am

westford

would that type of song be Beethoven's Moonlight...

8:24 am

Haz1558

Yes, indeed.

8:24 am

Haz1558

The consonant is the last.

8:24 am

ardilla

sonata

8:24 am

ardilla

?

8:25 am

Haz1558

The last consonant is the one to be changed.

8:25 am

Haz1558

Glenn Miller's version of Moonlight might be a better clue.

8:25 am

westford

I got it thanks not sonata though ardi think this one is Glenn Miller

8:26 am

westford

8:27 am

Angelsong

Dr. G really knows how to in8/55; he in9/78 when he created Babble, which had never been seen before. Far from being my en5/16. Babble lets me spend qu5/16 time each day, finding the words.

lilliann

hi dc....egypt on friday, leave on thursday afternoon to go to airport hotel for the night

actually, Forest Glen is deepest, no escalators, only elevators, and Wheaton is deeper also. Wheaton has longest escalators in the Western Hemisphere. Only a station on Old Pest has a longer one.

Hi Stid!

1:09 pm

Vicuna

Lurking and gloating don't mix, stidmama!

1:10 pm

stidmama

1:10 pm

AsGreen

not yet....

1:10 pm

stidmama

um, such as As?

1:11 pm

Vicuna

I meant gloating in a wholly non-pejorative way, stidmama! =)

1:11 pm

stidmama

:-D

1:12 pm

AsGreen

got se8 all by myself!

1:12 pm

1:13 pm

stidmama

1:13 pm

AsGreen

ok ok sh9??? pweese?

1:13 pm

Vicuna

sh9 - compound word for males who dwell in shacks

1:13 pm

phaeton

shack and males

1:13 pm

stidmama

well, I have a bit of the really crumbly stuff to use up and it seems to work great with the inkpads, but not so well with paint (I do a lot of lino printing with acrylics). Is it the medium or something I am doing weird?

1:14 pm

AsGreen

come on.....well, I never would have guessed... tx! Ss are all done now too!

1:15 pm

stidmama

woo- hoo As! you go, girl!

1:15 pm

Vicuna

Hmmm... I think I had kids doing acrylics and the crumbly rubber and it worked fine. Are you using a brayer?

1:16 pm

stidmama

No, I tried applying it with a brush (I like the texture when I do that with lino) perhaps the brayer would work better?

1:16 pm

Vicuna

Yes. I think that would be the thing to try next.

1:16 pm

stidmama

thanks. I'll play with it some later today if I can clear enough space.

1:17 pm

stidmama

ooh! down to 9!

1:17 pm

stidmama

and all the four-letter words are done!

1:17 pm

Vicuna

That's always the thing, isn't it -- clearing enough space for the next project! lol

1:17 pm

stidmama

yep. for some reason, creative process and "neat" don't go together for me...

1:19 pm

stidmama

that second QU 7 was a real bugger, wasn't it?

1:19 pm

AsGreen

I can't get that - that's what I'm on now!!

1:19 pm

Vicuna

Actually, I'm reasonably neat while I'm actually working. It's all the stuff in the holding pattern in between that gets in my way.

1:20 pm

AsGreen

that and the ph7

1:20 pm

carra

ugh oh theres 2..i just got excited b/c i just found one hah

1:20 pm

stidmama

Well, off to fetch the sprats. Back later, all.

c u l8ter luwanda

3:53 pm

montreal13

you could not prevent them from entering your attic scrabs ?

3:55 pm

Scrabbler

Nope, first the house was sealed at every crevice. Evn 1/4 inch is enough of an opening. Then a tube was placed in the attic, connected to outside, and with a one-way valve. The bats could depart but not return, and they leave every evening to go out for insect feedings. Then bat houses were placed in the trees behind the house so that the bats had new homes.

3:55 pm

montreal13

ingenious and wow !

3:56 pm

Scrabbler

The discovery happened when a bat flew across my living room and then I found it hanging from the skylight in my bedroom. That image still creeps me out.

3:56 pm

KatieMcG

back again after dinner :-)

3:56 pm

Dorens

hi all. I think i had some squirrels visiting my attic. At least that's the story I have for finding somewhat eaten acorns up there last week

3:56 pm
