SI 6

12:09 am

mom2han8

lore.. my family is from northwest Ireland... and we don't look like your regular "Irish"... we are generally brown haired, brown eyed, with olive skin.

12:09 am

MLFAN17

mom2 yes i found it thats what we are supposed to do

12:09 am

MiNA AND JAEZ

wats up

12:11 am

mom2han8

So, we look Italian (but actually are probably the result of the Moorish invasion of that coast in the 15th century)! But, I finally got an Italian last name to match my face, which has always been the joke in my family of blonde and blue-eyed sisters (who take after my mother's family from County Kerry)! My Dad and I are more like black sheeps! We were always mistaken for being Italian or Jewish in Northern NJ!

12:11 am

though Ata's was more exact

5:58 am

LoriP

***Even with Lickety's this grid remains poopy***

5:59 am

Atalante

lol. it would make sense with a different middle vowel, but as it is ....

5:59 am

sprite

Lickety paved my way for the last 60 or so.

5:59 am

I think that vowel is a typo that made it into enable.

Kathihle

Lickety confuses me .. am I correct in translating as5,14 to mean the word starts with as, has 5 letters and is worth 14 points? With the values of the letters, I don't see how this is possible ... HELP!

7:47 am

BzznBea

For 5 letter words the points are double

7:47 am

BzznBea

For six letter words it's triple, etc.

7:47 am

lexleeanne

5 double

7:47 am

lexleeanne

6 triple and so on

7:47 am

Kathihle

oh goodness, that makes a HUGE difference. Thanks Bzz

7:47 am

mrpresident

kath, the more letters in the word, you have to multiply the total.... ie... if there are 5 letters, then you times it by 2 to get the result

7:48 am

BzznBea

Hey, MRP.

8:50 am

Judi

Well, I would Kje, but they just mumbled something about a "union" and went on a 15 minute break.

8:50 am

flosey

8:56 am

Judi

I remember seeing them on people. Never wore them myself. I believe they were like wide leg capris. Horrid.

8:56 am

kje

split skirts - yep

8:57 am

kje

made for riding horses, I believe, before women could acceptably wear trousers

8:57 am

kje

I think Dale Evans wore gouchos - LOL

8:58 am

Judi

That could be the origin. However, I think they were just a historically tragic fashion mistake.

8:58 am

kje

LOL

8:58 am

kje

history is full of those judi

8:58 am

flosey

9:03 am

flosey

ah, so it is taken from Thank heavens for little girls

9:03 am

DR1965

That is why I chose it!

9:03 am

EvaNadine

C is for Cookie
That's good enough for me
Cookie, cookie, cookie
Starts with C!

9:03 am

kje

I grew up on Bob Wills and daydreams
My toes were a-tappin' to western swing
I wished upon a star
Atop an old boxcar
Chasing rainbows to the place the bluebirds sing
I painted my eyes up like Dolly
Sang with Kitty Wells 'til momma screamed
Then daddy shook his head as he carried me to bed
And tucked me in a-beggin' me to sing:

Thank Heavens for Dale Evans
You're everything I ever want to be
Yodel-lay-ee, Yodel-lay-ee
Yodel-lay-ee
Dale Evans made a cowgirl out of me

Now I play my guitar with the cowgirls
And what I got they never bat an eye
Like Shirley Temple's curls
Thank heavens for the girls
We'll sing a song to make a cowboy cry
I never got the limo or the diamond
But I got my hat, my boots and my guitar
I'm proud enough to say
I'll always be this way
Like the girl who went and stole Roy Roger's heart

9:03 am

DR1965

Someone told me they changed it to C is for Carrot

9:04 am

EvaNadine

but...but....but......
hes COOKIE monster!!

9:05 am

DR1965

You can not change that EVER... I stil like the muppets and sesame street

Hello there!

9:38 am

Scrabbler

Hello Babble Buddies. I returned last evening from my 5 day vacation to the Adirondack Mtns. We had a wonderful time there.

9:39 am

lilliann

hi haz and scrabs

9:39 am

Haz1558

Welcome back, Scrabbler.

9:39 am

lilliann

glad you had a nice time scrabs

9:39 am

EvaNadine

flosey -- you + your hubbys salad greens look scrumptious!!

9:39 am

flosey

hi Scrabbler, good to have you back

9:39 am

bichon

Where in the

9:39 am

Scrabbler

Back to the real world of cleaning, doing laundry, paying bills, etc.

9:39 am

bichon

Where in the Adirondaks

9:40 am

Scrabbler

Inlet--on Fourth Lake.

9:40 am

flosey

thanks Eva - and we have them all year round - in winter just the sturdier ones

9:40 am

bichon

Did you kayak?

9:40 am

BzznBea

Glad you had a good time, Scrab.

9:41 am

flosey

it is beautiful country up in the Adirondacks

9:41 am

bichon

I've been in the Bay Area babysitting my 18 m.o. grandaughter. It's been such fun. What a great age.

9:41 am

EvaNadine

makes me hungry for salad :)

9:41 am

Scrabbler

Yes, we did lots of kayaking--through the Inlet into Fifth Lake, and all over Fourth Lake. Yesterday AM we all went out together--all 7 ladies, as we rented kayaks for everyone, with 2 tandem kayaks. It was a blast.

9:42 am

bichon

I love kayaking. We did it in Belize and New Zealand

9:42 am

angelinaxox

hi all, welcome back scrabs, glad you had a nice time

9:43 am

Scrabbler

Cool, Bichon. My brain is still bobbing with the swells/waves of the lake.

9:43 am

lilliann

hi angel

9:43 am

angelinaxox

hi lill

9:43 am

kje

sounds fun scrab

9:44 am

bichon

My husband calls tandem kayaks "divorce boats". After kayaking with him, I can understand it. We did better with other partners

9:44 am

nancethefan

back

9:44 am

kje

ha

9:44 am

BzznBea

Hey, nance

9:44 am

nancethefan

hey to all i missed entering

9:45 am

nancethefan

hey bzzzzzzzzzz

9:45 am

Scrabbler

kje--I have an L4 radiculopathy--started as SI jt pain and the pain is better but my quads are still weak and my L4 dermatome is numb.

9:45 am

BzznBea

Aren't you glad i'm around to give that Z key a work out?

9:45 am

kje

crap - what did you do?

9:45 am

Scrabbler

I was the back seat paddler yesterday, Bichon. I matched my friend's paddling rate as best as I could.

9:46 am

nancethefan

i sure am

9:46 am

bichon

I like the front seat. Don't like steering. I like the strength part.

9:48 am

Scrabbler

I don't know, kje, except my usual kayaking. It started before vacation and the pain was severe for 5 days. I have experienced a herniated disc in the past, but this is different--no pain with cough/sneeze/sitting. Worst pain when lying down, thus sleep was brutal. Ever seen this from just SI jt problem?

9:48 am

kje

could be, but I'd go get an MRI

9:49 am

bichon

My exercise for this vacation has been pushing a stroller up the many hills of San Mateo

9:49 am

nancethefan

does it hurt when standing scrab?

9:49 am

bichon

kje, are you an MD or at physical therapist?

9:49 am

kje

MD

9:50 am

Scrabbler

I was thinking about seeing my doc, but the pain is so much better--I feel it when walking and when hyperextending my lower back.

9:50 am

kje

geriatrician - so scrab isn't quite in my age group yet - ROFL

9:50 am

Scrabbler

Well, in 14 mo I will be 50.

9:50 am

bichon

my mother needs a geriatrician. there aren't that many around

9:50 am

nancethefan

that's good news that the pain is decreasing

9:51 am

Scrabbler

lil*monkey is a PT so I will talk to her too when I see her.

9:51 am

bubba218

Scrabs, rest, NSAID's, ice, then physio

9:51 am

kje

if you think it is getting better, you can just keep resting it and see how you do, but if it worsens at all, I'd get an MRI - mostly just to r/o any real ds - discs and stuff I usually ignore as mostly they get better

9:51 am

Scrabbler

Yippee, Bubba is here--Dr Orthopedist! Can sacroiliitis cause this?

9:52 am

nancethefan

worry if the pain increases - it's a very hard pain, too

9:52 am

kje

no bichon - there is a world-wide shortage... but get her to one if you can, it makes a huge difference

9:52 am

bichon

how can one rest and work at the same time?

9:52 am

nancethefan

hey bubba

9:52 am

bubba218

Usually a neuropraxia from strain, but like KJE said if no relief in a week, then MRI

9:52 am

bubba218

9:54 am

kje

it is an art form bichon : )

9:54 am

Scrabbler

The pain is almost gone but my quads are still weak and L4 dermatome is numb still-does it make sense that the nerve still needs time to recover?

9:55 am

bubba218

Neuropraxi, can take weeks, depending on the extent of the injury, if persistent, would R/O disc or inpeingement syndrome

9:55 am

Scrabbler

My knee gives out when I go up and down stairs.

9:55 am

Scrabbler

Ty so much for input, kje & Bubba!!

9:57 am

kje

stuck at 54 left... was hoping to make it to 50 before list, but this thing isn't budging

11:27 am

LadyNatts

11:28 am

wow. that's wonderful! better put her in a box...

11:28 am

jean1953

good afternoon everyone:)

11:28 am

Atalante

its certainly an unusual state of affairs!

11:29 am

hi Jean

11:29 am

crosshair

howdy jean

11:29 am

stidmama

hello jean! happy thursday!

11:29 am

wildcat17

hi jean

11:29 am

stidmama

Tom FINALLY got around to bathing the little dog. I am still trying to figure out how I can bathe the big scaredy-dog.

11:30 am

LadyNatts

stid... around here we have a dog wash... coin operated

11:30 am

Atalante

give him to someone else to do it :P

11:30 am

nancethefan

hey jean & atal

11:30 am

stidmama

???? intriguing thought! not sure he'd fall for that more than once though

11:30 am

crosshair

we used to use one of those rotationg car wash brushes you attach to the garden hose for our big dogs

11:31 am

stidmama

no, he's very strong and VERY afraid of abandonment. If it needs to be done, unless we anesthetize him, I have to do it.

11:31 am

LadyNatts

it's tres cool... big basin, you can chain the dog to keep him/her in place and hoses for shampooing etc.

11:32 am

EvaNadine

stupid question for the people who actually know how to cook...
if a recipe says something like "cook over high heat for 10 minutes until cheese is melted, then simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally"
am i supposed to turn the heat DOWN after the first 10 minutes?

11:32 am

wildcat17

yes simmer is low heat

11:32 am

stidmama

hello EvaN!

11:32 am

stidmama

YES. turn it down until it's barely there.

11:32 am

crosshair

or if he is a tense one,use a squeaky toy sponge mitt

11:32 am

wildcat17

not stupid question

11:32 am

lynxxx

would he get in a shower with you Stid?

11:32 am

nancethefan

yes

11:33 am

EvaNadine

good to know -- i guess THATS why i keep overcooking my "skillet lasagne"

11:33 am

crosshair

yes,simmer is mid heat

11:33 am

jean1953

right dashes off for a min, hope to bbl, Happy Babbling everyone:)

11:33 am

jacq

yes

11:33 am

crosshair

mid-low actually

11:33 am

nancethefan

to low or simmer if you have that option

11:33 am

stidmama

Also, something like a diffusing plate can come in handy if you are like me. It allows the heat coming off the flame/burner to mix a little with air before it reaches the pot

11:33 am

jacq

pugs

11:33 am

jacq

shooooooot

11:33 am

jacq

sorry

11:33 am

stidmama

I have tried to get him in the shower, yes... but the minute I open the door, he scoots!

11:34 am

LadyNatts

don't worry, jacq, we all do it

11:34 am

wildcat17

I have one burner that is just for simmering/low heat

11:34 am

stidmama

wow. the kid is bringing up the garbage cans WITHOUT BEING TOLD!!! *faints from shock*

11:34 am

Atalante

can you get dry shampoo on him? or wipes?

11:34 am

EvaNadine

im getting better at this whole cooking thing, bit by bit, but i sometimes need the instructions to be idiot-proof...lol

11:34 am

nancethefan

breathe slowly stid - lol

11:35 am

stidmama

hm. that's a thought Atalante. he hates being brushed, but maybe just a cloth would be okay.

11:35 am

jacq

stid my dog always hated being bathed but loved to chase the garden hose can you try that?

11:35 am

wildcat17

cooking can be tricky eva ... better to ask than burn

11:35 am

Atalante

it doesn't clean thoroughly as a proper wash, but its better than nothing!

11:35 am

EvaNadine

stid -- when he comes inside, ask him what he did wrong. ;)

11:35 am

stidmama

EvaN, so much of the knowledge for cooking is "assumed" in recipe books. You might appreciate looking through a book for teens. The ones I have given my kids have been better detailed. Also Joy of Cooking often has a bit more background on how things are done.

11:36 am

EvaNadine

wildcat -- ive already burned 3-4 times...thats why i finally thought to ask the pros. ;)

11:36 am

jacq

i hope joy of cooking is better than joy of s*x

11:36 am

wildcat17

I don't know about pro, but you do learn with experience

11:36 am

Atalante

or a student's cookbook. they explain well!

11:36 am

stidmama

LOL EvaN! he says he just saw they were there and when he had to throw something away anyhow he brought it back to the house with him!

11:36 am

wildcat17

you can always go online and search

11:37 am

wildcat17

so his hands do work that way

11:37 am

Atalante

check his temperature. does he have a fever?

11:37 am

stidmama

Or, and this is my FAVORITE way to do it, find someone who is a good cook (Hetty, Flosey, Jill, my mother) and ask if they will help you cook if you bring the ingredients!

11:37 am

EvaNadine

im generally good at following recipes. the ones i like, i keep (and often end up memorizing) and the ones i try ta few times a few different ways that just dont work, i chuck out...

11:37 am

stidmama

rofl, no no fever, he's just hoping to earn back his computer privileges.

11:38 am

jacq

cooking is all trial and error i leqarned to cook when i lived with my ex if it sucked i wore it i learned fast

11:38 am

Atalante

ah there you go. there had to be a reason!

11:38 am

stidmama

Atalante, kid asks how old you are. Would eleventy-seven be close enough?

11:38 am

EvaNadine

ahh, so hes *ALREADY* done the bad stuff. ;)

11:38 am

Atalante

me?why me? *looks round paranoidly*

11:39 am

stidmama

I told him you weren't a mom, so he wondered how you knew so much about kids...

11:39 am

crosshair

isnt that eleventy-one?

11:39 am

wildcat17

wisdom comes with age ...

11:40 am

Atalante

lol cos I was one not *too* long ago!

11:40 am

stidmama

okay, I have just hit halfway, so should probably head out and do some gardening. This is the first morning in a week that I didn't have to reach for the crutches to get out of bed! *happy look*

11:40 am

wildcat17

11:40 am

11:41 am

Vicuna

Such as "When can we..." and "Can I do...?"

1:16 pm

Atalante

just say no

1:16 pm

Vicuna

I do. But I wouldn't be able to if I were asleep! QED.

1:16 pm

Atalante

just pin something saying "no" to your top, and then sleep!

1:17 pm

Vicuna

lol. That's an idea. Like those si4's for on airplanes "Please wake me for meal service" or whatever.

Vicuna

At the moment mine would be sloth!

1:24 pm

Krysten

1:24 pm

Krysten

I'm a glutton for punishment...

1:25 pm

FMitch

LOL Krysten

1:25 pm

Krysten

actually, doesn't gluttony cover all sins?

1:25 pm

Vicuna

And that's really what Babble is all about.

1:25 pm

Krysten

I'm a glutton for sex...lust

1:25 pm

hurshy

if you define each of the seven deadly sins broadly enough, they are all the same thing.

1:25 pm

Krysten

I'm a glutton for food...gluttony

1:26 pm

Krysten

I'm a glutton for sleep and play...lazy

1:26 pm

Atalante

Yayyy, Hello Haz

1:28 pm

Haz1558

At this time of the day?

1:28 pm

Vicuna

Hello, Haz! The seven deadly sins and the greatest sin of all!

1:28 pm

Haz1558

Good afternoon/evening all!

1:29 pm

Vicuna

Spaghetti, Krysten? Is this more gluttony?

1:30 pm

FMitch

We were discussiing .... umm my mind has gone blank.

1:30 pm

Krysten

don't know that one?

1:30 pm

Haz1558

So don't let me stop you confessing all. I've got my notebook out, but don't be deterred. 'Anything you say can be taken down and used in evidence....'

1:30 pm

hurshy

1:31 pm

FMitch

A nice southern drink Hurshy

1:31 pm

rururocks

southern drink with mint hursh

1:31 pm

Atalante

mint drinks, hurshy

1:31 pm

Krysten

it's when one thought triggers another, then another, then another and then the next thing you know, you are saying things to people that make perfect sense to you but everyone else is ready to commit you...I can't believe I'm the only one.

1:31 pm

Vicuna

Is that the southern mint drink, hursh?

1:32 pm

Vicuna

Oh yes, Krysten, you are definitely the only person ever to do that.

1:32 pm

hurshy

sounds like it might be.

1:32 pm

Vicuna

No one around here would ever go off on silly tangents.

1:33 pm

hurshy

clue for the OS?

1:33 pm

Atalante

never

1:33 pm

Haz1558

It's against the law of England to go off on tangents.

1:33 pm

Krysten

lol...it's good to be among friends...

1:33 pm

FMitch

Silly tangents, banned from here - too many calories.

1:33 pm

Vicuna

os6 - ends in mini----- meaning tiny

1:34 pm

Vicuna

Tangents are just so last year.

1:34 pm

Haz1558

Check your spelling, Vicuna - minu........ (extra smug points for moi)

1:34 pm

Vicuna

We're nothing but business, forging sensibly ahead at all times.

1:34 pm

Haz1558

Tangents are last year, pedantry is this year's new thing.

1:34 pm

Vicuna

*humbly begs to be permitted to remain in the hallowed presence of the Haz*

1:35 pm

hurshy

*is hopelessly lost*

1:35 pm

Atalante

and pelucidity

1:35 pm

FMitch

Intangential triangles are now de rigeur, don't ya know.

1:35 pm

Haz1558

Permission granted but take more care next time. First warning issued (sound of loud stamp on paper)

1:35 pm

Krysten

wow, did I ever did a big hole...

1:36 pm

Vicuna

Yes, Madam, of course, madam. It won't happen again, madam.

1:36 pm

rururocks

I can tell this discussion is way over my head today..I need more coffee

1:36 pm

Krysten

I prefer redundancy...

1:36 pm

FMitch

We can be sensible if we try, we were once ... I think.

1:36 pm

hurshy

viiiii, i don't geeeet it

1:37 pm

Vicuna

I always say that if a thing is worth being redundant about, it's worth saying twice.

1:37 pm

Krysten

hey, does anyone know what happens when you look up redundant in the dictionary?

1:37 pm

Haz1558

Try the ending of mole**** instead. And it's not moleskin.

1:37 pm

hurshy

ah thank you

1:37 pm

Krysten

it says "see redundant" (slaps knees and holds head)

1:37 pm

Vicuna

Sorry, hursh. Haz beat me to it, as usual.

1:38 pm

hurshy

pu6? pu8?

1:38 pm

Haz1558

Sitting on hands so VI can beat me this time.

1:38 pm

FMitch

*groan* Krysten

1:38 pm

Vicuna

pu6/24 - pu + small bit of land surrounded by water, but change the l for another consonant

1:39 pm

Vicuna

Now Haz, no need to condescend! =P

1:39 pm

hurshy

at least these aren't fishy

1:39 pm

Vicuna

Besides, I haven't got the pu8, so you can give that clue in perfect smuggitude!

1:39 pm

Haz1558

Too much?

1:40 pm

Haz1558

Oh, it's the one that has a plane on the end and nearly a lentil at the front?

1:41 pm

Haz1558

It's the new wonder machine of the age.

1:41 pm

FMitch

Take the name for beans/peas/lentils, change a vowel and add a fast plane.

1:42 pm

periwinkle

I have been gone for over half an hour and no one else has chatted?

1:42 pm

Haz1558

I've heard that a version could be used for strategic pummelling of fat. Kind of like 'Butt-be-gone' but along the lines of power hosing.

1:42 pm

hurshy

ok, i got pudsejet from that

1:42 pm

Atalante

refresh, peri!

1:42 pm

Vicuna

* goggles at peri in confusion *

1:42 pm

Haz1558

You're on the right lines!

1:43 pm

hurshy

it seems like i am not getting the bean part

1:43 pm

Haz1558

What the doctor takes when he holds your wrist, but change the last vowel, then add your fast plane

1:43 pm

Krysten

geez...I'm I going to have to repeat my joke for peri??

1:43 pm

hurshy

ty

1:43 pm

hurshy

what ARE the beans then, i don't think i know that word

1:43 pm

Haz1558

I see a Groundhog situation.

1:44 pm

redturtlehead

hi all, I am back from an exciting time going to my appointments and the gym

1:44 pm

Vicuna

Thanks, Haz. And now I must round up the darlings for a trip to the pool. I suppose that will wake me up. Either that or I'll drown.

1:44 pm

Haz1558

It's the same as what the doctor takes - a kind of general term for lentils and beans and things.

1:44 pm

periwinkle

my screen must have frozen again :-)

1:44 pm

Atalante

Vi, ever the optomist!

1:44 pm

Haz1558

Take care, Vi!

1:45 pm

FMitch

FMitch

Bye Vi have fun

1:45 pm

hurshy

1:45 pm

Atalante

legumirant

1:46 pm

Haz1558

I think it's maybe a Brit term, others seem to have been confused as well.

1:46 pm

periwinkle

never heard of that term either

1:46 pm

Haz1558

ne5 - ne plus the first part of the sudden wind.

1:46 pm

Krysten

1:49 pm

periwinkle

Can't believe that a contestant on that show actually believe that just standing there and making farm animal sounds would make him a winner!!

1:50 pm

periwinkle

Never watch the show, just caught part of it by accident

2:15 pm

redturtlehead

my car got run off the road... I dont think I'm quite over it.

2:20 pm

Atalante

oh no! are you ok?

2:26 pm

redturtlehead

I am OK, I think the car is OK...It did take me on to the appointment and home and to the gym... but its very muddy and a tiny bit bent in the front...

2:26 pm

phaeton

Hello!...Peri, did you watch the end act? That guy was fantastic!

2:26 pm

Atalante

phew

2:27 pm

redturtlehead

Just scary. I keep thinking I dreamed it.

2:27 pm

redturtlehead

then I see the mud...

2:27 pm

redturtlehead

I need to get triple A.

2:28 pm

redturtlehead

Ata do you have the list yet?

2:28 pm

redturtlehead

I have 106, not lsit...

2:29 pm

Atalante

2:29 pm

jacq

so long as you're not hurt red

2:30 pm

redturtlehead

Cool Ata, Thanks jacq...I'm a little leary of getting into the car again at all.

2:30 pm

phaeton

?

2:30 pm

Dorens

hey red, glad you're ok. the shock should wear off by tomorrow

2:30 pm

redturtlehead

I hope it does...and I hope there isnt something secretly wrong with the car...

2:31 pm

jacq

have you had it looked at?

2:32 pm

redturtlehead

Well, the Maintanence guy from the nursing home where I was in the ditch looked at it...

2:32 pm

jacq

it takes time i crashed the car with 4 kids in it and was fine for a while then suddenly couldn't drive, this was weeks later, so maybe best get the shock out now

2:32 pm

redturtlehead

and I drove it for over an hour afterwards, so I am assuming it is alright. I will get one of the work guys tomorro...

2:32 pm

redturtlehead

Oooh Jac that would be scary...no kids in my car.

2:33 pm

Dorens

hidden damage like that is unusual tho

2:33 pm

redturtlehead

The woerd part was that because it was a ditch with water, the undercarriage started to steam....

2:33 pm

redturtlehead

and I thought it was going to explode...

2:33 pm

redturtlehead

but once we got it out, that stopped...

2:34 pm

Atalante

what actually happened?

2:34 pm

jacq

sounds terrifying red

2:34 pm

redturtlehead

A car cut me off and then stopped abruptly...I hit the brakes, wet road...slowed but couldnt stop, so I turned off the road and ended in the ditch. I am very very lucky I didnt flip.

2:35 pm

Atalante

urf! very

2:35 pm

redturtlehead

Its an odd thing...how the radio keeps playing like nothing happened after such an eventuful moment...

2:36 pm

jacq

2:36 pm

lexleeanne

hi, all - red, I just came in to read your story - so glad you are all right, cars can be fixed more easily than people, but you know that

2:37 pm

lexleeanne

we are all at the mercy of each other while on the road

2:37 pm

redturtlehead

This is true JBV, but the inconvienience...

2:38 pm

Dorens

florida is known for the most accidents... those old folks, i guess

2:39 pm

redturtlehead

I didnt know that about the accidents Dorens....

2:39 pm

redturtlehead

Hmmm.

2:39 pm

jacq

we have bad roads here, 4 fatal crashes in 8 weeks last one claimed 3 people under 25 two sisters

2:39 pm

Atalante

where are you, jacq?

2:39 pm

redturtlehead

Everything is so slick lately.

2:39 pm

jacq

north east scotland

2:39 pm

JBV

I was just reading an email from my cousin who finally managed to take the car keys away from his mom, my aunt, who is 94!!! she and everyone around her is now safe

2:40 pm

jacq

ow JBV how did he manage that?

2:40 pm

kje

not the old folks - the young drunks!

2:40 pm

redturtlehead

:) JBV...

2:40 pm

JBV

2:40 pm

pabtrek

last to6 please

2:41 pm

redturtlehead

I must make an investment.

2:41 pm

Atalante

2:41 pm

jacq

2:41 pm

lexleeanne

2:41 pm

jacq

north of aberdeen

2:41 pm

JBV

jacq - he says it has hit her hard but she came to agree that "she had no business behind the wheel" - maybe something happened, but he didn't say

2:41 pm

pabtrek

as + almost slang for curse minus last letter, lex

2:41 pm

jacq

she maybe just got a fright when a small thing happened

2:41 pm

Atalante

oh cool, I love it up there. I did a lot of fieldwork around Elgin and Huntly

2:42 pm

jacq

fieldwork?

2:42 pm

kje

giving up driving is one of the hardest things an older adult is asked to do at times - it means a loss of independence

2:42 pm

Dorens

don't mean to sound sexist. but many other women like me are just not very mechanical

2:42 pm

jacq

nods

2:42 pm

lexleeanne

am I going up or down to s?

2:42 pm

jacq

i am hopeless with the car, but good with everything else

2:43 pm

Atalante

yep, fossil finding in the old red sandstone

2:43 pm

pabtrek

I don't think it matters lex

2:43 pm

redturtlehead

Oh No, Dorens, I was at a complete loss when that happened this morning. Just floored. Of course that steam coming from the hood wasnt too good either!

2:43 pm

kje

dorens - we are smart, we could learn, but it is boring, so why bother

2:43 pm

Dorens
