2:22 am

good evening Andree

2:29 am

Marmar

Hi Andree

2:29 am

sprite

will be right back, need breakfast. Will bring it up to babble though :)

2:32 am

Marmar

I have a new approach to Babble, I am looking for the bigger and/or more obscure words so I can save the more obvious and easier words for Marcus (my 6 year old) when he gets home from kindergarten. He's even more obsessed than I am with this game.

2:33 am

Andree

nice marmar

2:33 am

lynxxx

He's pretty amazing isn't he!

2:34 am

Marmar

I think so. Some days he would come home and I had already gotten so many that he couldn't find any, he looked so frustrated. If he has a love for words, that leads to a love of reading, I gotta nurture it!

2:35 am

sprite

he is wonderful, Marmar, and you are a wonderful mum.

2:35 am

lynxxx

He doesn't want his own 'membership' so he can see his own name and have his own picture?

2:35 am

Marmar

Thanks, your too generous. I try and I just love all three so much I can hardly stand it.

2:36 am

sprite

that is what does it, Marmar :) *hug*

2:36 am

lynxxx

awww what a lovely mum (not that we all aren't!)

2:36 am

Marmar

He probably would love it, can you have two memberships from one email address?

2:37 am

sprite

if not, you can use a hotmail email address for Markus

2:37 am

Marmar

If possible, that would be a GREAT present for when he starts school in August.

2:37 am

lynxxx

Not sure - you could always contact DrGod first

2:37 am

Marmar

Great idea Lynxxx, thank you!

2:38 am

Andree

I do the same with my granchildren, let them go first and get what they can if they are visiting

2:38 am

Marmar

Don't Pink's kids have their own account??? Or do they all play on one? Pink, you out there?

2:39 am

sprite

did you see my hint on another email addy, Marmar?

2:39 am

Andree

fi5/22 please

2:39 am

lynxxx

fi5.22 sort of like the abbrev for your 'ice-chest'

2:40 am

sprite

please Andree, sit still and stop fi5ting.

2:40 am

Marmar

Oh Sprite, I am so computer illiterate...I have heard of hotmail but don't know much about it. Can I just go there and get an email address?

2:40 am

Andree

thx sprite

2:40 am

Andree

and thx lynxxx

2:40 am

sprite

yes Marmar, you can go there and make as many hotmail addresses you like.

2:41 am

Marmar

Ha, then that's the solution! Thanks.

2:42 am

sprite

you go to www.hotmail.com and then make an account. You never need to go there anymore if all you need is the addy.

3:18 am

Andree

Hi Titagosa

3:28 am

Marmar

Those misspeaks provide us with laughs all the time here, it's so much fun. It took my husband ages to learn and remember "windshield wipers". He was constantly saying things like "shildshipe shippers" and whipshop shoopers". When he had to buy replacements at the US Army gas station (I used to work at the base here) he just put his arms up in front of him at 90 degree angles and moved them back and forth in front of him and said "I need some of these" And the clerk knew what he wanted!

6:13 am

Scrabbler

My dear Callie is worsening--left hind leg is nearly paralyzed, so she hops with a tilt and then falls over easily. But she hopped to this room to be with me after eating her salad. I told her she has to let me know when she is ready to die.

6:13 am

Angelsong

I know for sure I'm a Babble addict. The past couple of days have been a challenge, and I'm still Babbling...

6:13 am

6:14 am

Dorens

and she will be mourned by so many many babblers, scrabs

6:14 am

carleekat

{{{Callie}}} oh man...what a crappy day

6:14 am

Scrabbler

It is hard to imagine daily life here without her. She is my little shadow.

6:14 am

Aussieme

Oh Scrabbs....... We are here for you xx

6:14 am

Angelsong

oh, no...poor Callie, Scrabbler...

6:14 am

FMitch

Oh Scrabs but that is the way of these things.
Hello to everyone too numerous to list :)

6:15 am

Scrabbler

I must figure out how to put pix up at Flickr--that will be my task after work

6:15 am

featherbee

Dorens

6:15 am

FMitch

That would be great to see a pic of Bunny Callie

6:15 am

featherbee

is today's seeming better than yesterday?

6:16 am

Angelsong

scrabbs, Flickr is easy to use.

6:16 am

Scrabbler

Whoa, what a word, CArlee!

6:16 am

carleekat

morning feather

6:16 am

Dorens

thanks carlee.. i was trying to use those first four letters, but might never have monkeyed that ending

6:16 am

featherbee

uh oh nick's giving doug trouble, gotta run

6:16 am

Aussieme

thats a word i use every day (she says) !!

6:16 am

Scrabbler

6:17 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Aussie--new word for me too.

6:17 am

Aussieme

well, its different !!

6:18 am

FMitch

Todays grid is a thousand times better than yesterdays and uch more entertaininginging, over use of the gerund is essential today hint hint :)

6:18 am

carleekat

there...v's done....on to t's

6:18 am

Angelsong

I'm wondering if I should put my baby brother's picture online.

6:18 am

Aussieme

I noticed....

6:18 am

Aussieme

why not Angel ?

6:19 am

FMitch

Do Angel.

6:19 am

Scrabbler

There's a gerund ending in the grid? Ah, there it is. It takes me so long to notice essential things like that. And, look, there is an X too.

6:19 am

Dorens

wow fmitch thanks. think i just got ten words without thinking!

6:19 am

Scrabbler

I would like to see it, Angel. What is his name?

6:20 am

FMitch

and the x gets used too Scrabbler.
LOL and yw Dorens

6:20 am

Scrabbler

yesterday's final word list was funny to review--so many pretend words

6:20 am

carleekat

yeap..the x is in last ve word....where 2 lines intersect at an accute angle

6:20 am

Scrabbler

TY, carlee

6:21 am

Scrabbler

I want to do that, Doren--fi4 words without thinking. How do you do that? A pa4-less way to Babble.

6:21 am

FMitch

To those that don't always use the time values to f4 words today is a good one to practice with, and now I am going to shush and let you all get on.

6:21 am

dromano66

can anyone help with the pa8/45,please/

6:21 am

Aussieme

why would you not put his picture up Angel ?

6:22 am

Dorens

just work that ing end*** scrab,,, i really wasn't thinking and there must be 15 now

6:22 am

Aussieme

am I missing something ?

6:22 am

phandmd

time values
/

6:22 am

FMitch

No I don't think you are Aussie

6:23 am

Aussieme

thats ok then...

6:23 am

Scrabbler

I am missing 104 words

6:23 am

phandmd

time values?

6:23 am

Dorens

time values? what are they?

6:23 am

Aussieme

I am missing 91 Scrabbs !!

6:23 am

carleekat

ok..the tr10 is stoopid

6:23 am

Angelsong

Scrabbler got me thinking about putting the picture online. If Callie's can be up, so can the baby's.

6:23 am

dromano66

pa8/45 is driving me crazy...can't see it

6:24 am

Scrabbler

I just found a bunch of gerunds and it was, get this, truly pa4less, just like Doren said. try it, you'll like it.

6:24 am

Aussieme

I dont understand, why would you not put his picture up ?

6:24 am

carleekat

catch a mouse in a tr*+ how the oldtimers used to find gold ( gerund ending )

6:25 am

Scrabbler

Whoa, Ty, carlee--how did you find that?

6:25 am

Aussieme

well, carlee !! theres a new word !

6:25 am

Scrabbler

Of course, Angel.

6:25 am

Angelsong

hey, I got both 10's....

6:25 am

carleekat

just feeding monkeys well..point value... gerund ending... dumb luck????

6:25 am

Dorens

thamls carlee-- did we have that word once before?

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Take away the end** for a tr6/21, carlee

6:26 am

Scrabbler

And drop an N

6:26 am

carleekat

( I know... was how I got to the 10 scrabs... the tr4...then the 6..then the 10 )

6:26 am

FMitch

lol as I said earlier being able to count the tile values is invaluable today.

6:27 am

phandmd

oh, you meant tile values, not time values

6:27 am

Scrabbler

I have to go now, kids. I skipped a shower yesterday because of my Babble addiction, so I must get hosed down now. Bye. Enjoy the day.

6:27 am

Angelsong

it just never occurred to me to put the picture online until Scrabbs mentioned Flickr

6:27 am

Aussieme

**passes Scrabbs a sponge**

6:27 am

Dorens

oh TILE values... cool. i thought i was missing something... lol

6:27 am

carleekat

6:27 am

Aussieme

Ah, I see !

6:27 am

Dorens

scrab you are NOT alone there

6:28 am

Scrabbler

Aussie, I am like the elephants at the zoo--just hose me down.

6:28 am

FMitch

Oh sorry did I do one of my typos again and not notice, apologies.
hangs head in shame.

6:28 am

Dorens

that only helps tho when you have a list... i strictly use no list for at least the first half.... need ten more... then it gets easy

6:28 am

Scrabbler

It is a sign of an addiction to skip daily hygiene in order to feed the addiction. LOL

6:28 am

Aussieme

**lifts FM's chin up** not to worry FM !!

6:29 am

Dorens

just thought it was an interesting new concept fmitch.. timing myself to get a certain number of words or what not

6:29 am

FMitch

*grin* now theres a thought Dorens!

6:29 am

Dorens

well, go forth and come out smelling clean and fresh scrabs,,, see you later

6:29 am

carleekat

i was wondering that myself dorens...

6:30 am

Dorens

perhaps we will work out an elaborate system of time values, in honor of typos!

6:30 am

Jacula

Good afternoon all. My pasta making machine has just arrived. The company was out of stock when I first ordered it a few weeks ago. Now they have sent me two!

Angelsong

6:31 am

carleekat

6:31 am

Dorens

fish worthy angel

6:31 am

Dorens

sea bird...

6:32 am

Jacula

Dorens - I'll probably muck the first few lots up. I imagine it's like learning to use a potter's wheel.:)

6:32 am

Dorens

carlee.. have seen that word before, the one that ends in two consonants that just doesn't look right?

6:32 am

Dorens

ok jacula, i can wait patiently!

6:33 am

Angelsong

I don't see that E.

6:33 am

carleekat

oh oh...babble is sending up "word cannot be added" red warmings

6:33 am

Dorens

6:39 am

licketySplitAUS

I've been waiting for some sort of explanation, but heard nothing.

6:39 am

Bye Aussie

6:42 am

gramma

Aussie, was it my breath?

6:43 am

Jacula

'Bye Aussie.

6:43 am

6:43 am

gramma

Jac, you can have 'em the grid won't take them.

6:44 am

licketySplitAUS

angel - thanks for the vid - I haven't had a chance to watch it but I put it on the list. I've got a setup now where I can queue them up for future days

6:44 am

Jacula

I have the shorter forms of them, gramma.

6:44 am

MonkeyGames

Can anyone clue the ve8 that isn't light-regulation related?

6:44 am

KatieMcG

Half way, I can wait for the rest till tonight, see you all later

6:45 am

gramma

Oh...I maybe should have thought of that, huh?

6:45 am

licketySplitAUS

angel - I've seen one for tshirts ;-)

6:45 am

Jacula

Monkey - ve8 = copper carbonate for blue or green colouring.

6:45 am

MonkeyGames

6:51 am

jbp

good clue Jac

6:55 am

melissamay

For the ve 8 -- take the green prefix and add it to di 4/5, then add another consonant. I hope that helps.

6:56 am

MonkeyGames

Whoa, and there it is!!! Thanks.

7:10 am

When in doubt, ing it. Kinda' boring grid. Hope there's a big one lurking soon.

7:10 am

Inge2

there are some interesting words in it though. I like it.

7:10 am

MonkeyGames

How about the ve6 that doesn't end in three letters meaning an unholy racket?

7:10 am

carleekat

ooof..trust lori to be bored with a grid that flows ESPECIALLY after yesterday's grid

7:11 am

LoriP

Yeesh, rude of me, G'd morning all!

Good mornng ... just sticking my nose in to check out the grid. How is it?

7:23 am

kje

the grid is lovely - come on in for a swim!

7:23 am

LoriP

G'd morning Merk, it's a gooder. Not as many weird-y's as yesterday.

Those 10's scare me. Where are they?

7:24 am

carleekat

ohhhhhhhhhh..now it is a gooder...before is was BORING...

7:25 am

carleekat

well..we'll just have to remind her when she gets back then

7:25 am

Angelsong

merk, the 10's are not that bad. If you know how to do a job, and have a head injury and forget how to do it, you need re10.

7:26 am

hydra

I love your choice of poems, kje. Are you a poet yourself?

7:26 am

kje

OK - I must get dressed for work - see you all as I pop in and out throughout the day! - 59 to go!

7:29 am

LoriP

Well miss snarky carlee, it is a gooder, when it's easy. It's a badder when it's not. ***sips coffee** :-)

7:30 am

MonkeyGames

Yay! Just found the ad6 and 9. Was bugging me.

7:30 am

Merk

I'm in serch of the tr 10, but the prospectors have evaded me so far.

7:31 am

LoriP

carleekat

argh..NOW I am at work ALL day...first bloody nice day..was scheduled for 3-6...then 10-12, 3-6..now 10-6

7:37 am

Merk

I started using that double consonant and gerund ending from the tr 10 and found all kinds of words.

7:37 am

carleekat

i am paid LESS then the other guy... they get me doing more then they let the other guy..and NOW they want me doing paperwork.... AND i haven't been paid since february

7:38 am

carleekat

and its my b-in -l/ m-in-l that run the place

7:38 am

Merk

Carlee, the words are, "I quit." Of course, find another job first.

7:38 am

Angelsong

7:38 am

Merk

Congrats Angel

7:38 am

carleekat

7:38 am

Jandel

7:38 am

carleekat

7:38 am

7:43 am

euphie

ap 5 - not together

7:43 am

MonkeyGames

Rgh, duh! Thanks.

7:43 am

Merk

OK, Carlee, an I sentence: I feel used when I give this job my best and see other people around me doing less, but earning more. Would it be possible to give me a raise please?

7:44 am

carleekat

( they can't... that just it... and that why I can't go... cus is family...)

7:44 am

Merk

Or perhaps instead of the word 'used' , try unappreciated.

7:44 am

MonkeyGames

Suggestions welcome from anyone who can provide ideas on how to talk a young man of 3 into letting me take the bandaid off where the evil doctor gave him the shot earlier.

7:44 am

carleekat

m-in-l needs to sell house to keep business afloat right now...

7:44 am

carleekat

bribe with peanut butter cups

7:45 am

LoriP

He's 3. you're in charge. If it's s'posed to come off now, take it off.

7:45 am

Haz1558

Don't talk about it, just do it. Or else leave it on until it's good and germ-ridden and ready to drop off in the bath.

7:45 am

Merk

Make it exciting ... get him to want to look what it looks like underneath now.

7:46 am

carleekat

i'll just put on another batch of wine in a few weeks...get my $ out of them that way

7:46 am

Haz1558

And there you have it. A contrast in motherhood styles!

7:46 am

MonkeyGames

All good ideas! Merk, it's almost like you've met him! If that or the bribe doesn't work, then Haz, your second suggestion works forme.

7:46 am

carleekat

phantom infinite

7:46 am

LoriP

If you gotta' bribe a 3 year old for a simple task that is non negotiable, you'll ne hooped when he's 15.

7:46 am

MonkeyGames

Well, yes, Carlee, but most of that word IS there.

7:46 am

Merk

I hve a grandson of 4 ... been there done that.

7:46 am

LoriP

G'd morning Haz.

7:47 am

Haz1558

Hello Lori - and everyone else.

7:47 am

MonkeyGames

In general I agree, Lori, it's just that he already knows it will hurt and i already promised him nobody will hurt him there again right now.

7:47 am

carleekat

eh..i bribe the simple stuffs....don't sweat the little things.... and when u have to mean business they are scared crapless cus they never have seen the evil mean mommy before and they do ur bidding

7:48 am

MonkeyGames

I think ignoring it for now and seeing if it comes off on its own is the best first move.

7:48 am

carleekat

its how I have my 16 year old son wrapped around my little finger...

7:50 am

LadyNatts

don't be so sure of that, carlee... that's what I thought too. Mind you, he's not so bad (now 20), but he did fool me on a few things

7:51 am

carleekat

we all fooled our parents when we were young...

7:51 am

LadyNatts

and I took the same road you speak of.

7:51 am

carleekat

its a right of passage

7:51 am

LadyNatts

I suppose you're right. LOL

7:51 am

LoriP

G'd morning Lady. Can't really afford that level of naiveté when parenting, can ya'..... :-)

7:52 am

MonkeyGames

Sorry I dropped out for a minute; phone call from the neighbor. Her toddler just dislocated her elbow. This on top of her really young one having the bad reacytion to anaesthetic the other week. Guess fighting with a band aid later could be worse, eh?

7:52 am

LadyNatts

well, I was such an easy child to raise, i got caught off-guard once or twice with my own. Nothing major, thank heavens.

7:53 am

carleekat

again..don't sweat the little stuffs... if they have great friends... and are athletic... and hard working... and u know ( by eavesdropping ) that they hate being around kids who swear..its not all bad...

7:53 am

carleekat

especially when we as a family have had the year we have had...

7:54 am

LadyNatts

we've been through some rough times too, carlee, I can sympathize.

7:55 am

LoriP

Anyone remember when the last killer grid was, like 4-500+? We're overdue.

7:55 am

carleekat

anyway... i have to finish getting ready for work...stop at shoppers to get my 4 dove products so I can order pj's for daughter and I

7:56 am

LoriP

Have a good one carlee.

Good here Eva, I'm avoiding housework as always. :-) Life good for you and yours?

8:10 am

EvaNadine

rather sore from my workout class last night -- it was the final one of the session, so i tried to be good + not slack off, but i think i mightve overdone it!

8:11 am

pabtrek

not too bad today Eva, sorry to hear you're sore

8:11 am

LoriP

That's a bummer, perhaps some time in the PB, with a rubdown from the cabana boy?

8:11 am

EvaNadine

at least it was a fun class -- i might sigh up to take some more!

8:12 am

EvaNadine

*perk!*
did i hear "cabana boy" ??

8:12 am

Aloyisius

Hello Babblers!

8:13 am

LoriP

lol Eva, G'd morning Aloy

8:14 am

Aloyisius

hi LoriP.. interesting grid today..

8:14 am

pabtrek

hi Aloy

8:14 am

Aloyisius

hi pabtrek.. diverted now by your icon, lol.. need a closer look

8:15 am

EvaNadine

my friends + i have been taking a super-fun pole dance aerobics class for the last 5 weeks -- its really hard!!

8:16 am

Aloyisius

ooh, sounds like great exercise, Eva.. saw a thing about pole dance aerobics on TV.. afraid i am not that flexible

8:16 am

Aloyisius

but maybe i could work on flexibility if i enrolled

8:16 am

EvaNadine

aloy -- im not either! but thankfully, flexibility doesnt come into yet, since we are just at level one (of nine!)

8:17 am

EvaNadine

they actually offer a flexibility class too!

8:17 am

LoriP

Sounds like fun Eva, except for the exercise part.....

8:17 am

EvaNadine

im actually the worst in the class -- my arm strength leaves something to be desired, so i cant actually hold myself up long enough to make the spins look good...
but its much fun!

8:17 am

Aloyisius

nine levels! pab, who is that gorgeous guy? get a different icon when i click on the one in chat

8:19 am

pabtrek

really, well yesterday I had Elvis Presley, Aloy

8:19 am

EvaNadine

theyve shown us some of the upper-level moves + they make my jaw drop!
such as holding on to the pole with your legs + spinning without using your arms!

8:19 am

EvaNadine

rater

8:19 am

Aloyisius

lol... that's it.. wonder why he is still here, but then i can't figure out why my flag disappeared either

8:19 am

EvaNadine

*oopsie*
looks like ill be making a trip to the PB anyway!

8:20 am

Aloyisius

holy cow, Eva... I would be flat on the floor!

8:20 am

LoriP

LOL va, rubdown from the cabana boy, since you're there.

8:21 am

EvaNadine

aloy -- ive come close to it!!
ive got a few bruises + my hands are SOOOOOO sore from trying to grip the pole...
debating if i want to sign up for another session, but if i do, it will probably just be level 1 again until i can build up my strength...

8:22 am

Aloyisius

do you wear gloves Eva.. seems you could get calluses

8:23 am

EvaNadine

if i keep up with it + get better, ill probably have to...the girl actually said "youll build up calluses and then itll hurt less"
but i dont want gross hands!!

8:23 am

EvaNadine

i did buy this liquid chalk stuff that helps dry off your hands + gives you better grip

8:23 am

Aloyisius

wow.. sounds intense

8:24 am

EvaNadine

its just amazing to see how easy they make it look -- i tell ya, i have a whole new respect for women who do that for a living!

8:25 am

Aloyisius

yup, that pole would slip right through my fi9.90s

8:25 am

EvaNadine

hah, thanks for working that one in there. ;)

8:25 am

Aloyisius

lol, couldn't resist..

8:26 am

EvaNadine

8:26 am

EvaNadine

hehe

8:26 am

8:27 am

cheeky

there must be a higher average of points in this puzzle. points per word.

8:27 am

Aloyisius

just happened to be hunting it while Eva and I were chatting about calluses so it fit right in

8:29 am

Aloyisius

eva, do you go to class once per week or what?

8:30 am

EvaNadine

yes, just once a week

8:32 am

MonkeyGames

Could I have clues for the 1st ra4 and the 1st ra5?

8:33 am

Aloyisius

8:34 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks!

8:34 am

Aloyisius

yw, Monkey.. don't have the ra5 yet, hunting...

8:35 am

tceicher

what is a babblet?

8:35 am

MonkeyGames

So, OK, off topic again, is pain down into the hand to be expected with an upper arm vaccination?

8:35 am

Aloyisius

a babblet is a word that shows up often in grids but not in your everyday language

8:36 am

tceicher

thnx

I found tons of coupons. I called the local Walmart y'day where we shop all the time, to ask if they accept computer printed, online coupons. They said they do not.

Okay, that one is something that some babbler's check every day. If my ra**** goes up, I have completed the grid

10:35 am

Uniquity

I'm getting confused Merk..
If you need the third ra6, take the second one (the aggressive attack) and change the last letter to a vowel, and you have it.

10:35 am

FMitch

There are 2 pab with only 1 letter dif in them

10:36 am

any clues needed before I stop for breakfast?

10:47 am

flosey

Would it be inappropriate for me to warn players of a fraud - if you receive in the mail anything from Lifestylerewards, do not destroy it (as we did) you must respond to cancel their offer - we just tossed it and were charged, on our Visa, $196. Don't know how they got our Visa # but we had to destroy card and get new one

10:49 am

flosey

when we phoned Lifestylerewards, they told us it is not their policy to give out information as to how they obtained our Visa #

10:49 am

kje

whoa - now that is a new one flosey!

10:50 am

kje

report it to the authorities! it is definitely fraud... and who cares what their policy is, in the US they would have to tell you

10:50 am

flosey

sure had me worried for a while - they did cancel it though - Visa informed us that it was fraudulent

10:51 am

flosey

they told us it was IL. but Visa told us no it was from QUE.

10:52 am

kje

glad you caught it flosey - I really need to pay more attention to my bank statements!

10:52 am

flosey

right kje, must inform police - I always check all visa payments, that's how I found it

10:53 am

kje

here - we would report it to the postal system as well - it is postal fraud in the US - and probably would come under a couple other agencies as well - I would tell everyone!

10:54 am

Flosey, there is a class action lawsuit for people who have been charged by this company (which apparently operates under quite a few names). The lawfirm in question has a tollfree number you can call for more information--here it is: 1-866-981-4800. You can find out more if you google lifestylerewards--check the link on the right hand side of the page.

How can you live without a credit card though? I get all of my airline tickets using one and I travel a lot for my work. I can't carry that much cash around and many places won't take checks.

11:11 am

Book Doctor Gwen

hey, why you all assume i need to rent cars and ply on planes? not everyone does those things.

11:11 am

Niamh

depends on the rental company, I get to travel for work a lot. Thrifty usually charges a $300 deposit

11:12 am

Book Doctor Gwen

flosey, car rental co said i could send them a check for $200 two weeks in advance and could rent a car then. (if i wanted to). but yes, i do sometimes carry $200 in cash, especially when shopping at estate sales and stuff

It is named after its distinctive shade of copper-sulphate blue and has a dark patch between the eyes and above the bill base.

do they test the lump immediately once it is removed? does anyone know?

12:41 pm

nancethefan

no

12:43 pm

Niamh

my very best friend just went through a similar situation, the needle biopsy showed that it was only a swollen gland (well several swollen glands) and they drained them... all better!

12:43 pm

caitlyn

With me,they did the needle biopsy, then depending on that they decide if they will remove it .It may be different in the USA so dont take my word for it

12:43 pm

nancethefan

phew. that's great for your friend.

12:43 pm

12:45 pm

nancethefan

i'm so glad it wasn't serious

12:45 pm

nancethefan

i'm sure they will keep a close check on her now, won't they?

12:46 pm

caitlyn

Next week we will be saying the same thing to you nance

12:46 pm

Niamh

me too, we were worried about it.

12:54 pm

Niamh

I wouldn't call it silly

12:55 pm

caitlyn

When I found my 1st one I did the silly thing and ignored it..........not a good idea, I thought it would just go away,after 3 months instead of telling my hubby or friends I told someone at work who marched me to the Drs straight away, so silly you are not

12:56 pm

nancethefan

i have too much time on my hands - can't work because of my back, so i can sit around all day & think crappy thoughts - i try not to & when i do, i say a prayer.
