3:04 am

rolin

some ppol who come into the chat window only asking for clues...can be considered a bit leechy...and therefore a lot of ppl tend to avoid pleading

3:04 am

autumn moon

There must have been 4-5 inches in New West.

3:04 am

rolin

esp when if comes to the big words which most ppl like to have a fair crack at looking for themselves before asking for help..

nmyb

hi there sprite...quiet board at the moment

3:55 am

sprite

in between shifts maybe, lol. Hi nmyb, is it a good grid today?

3:55 am

MonkeyGames

Hi very briefly! Yes, there was a troll... people ar ebeing cautious.

3:56 am

sprite

the yogo troll again?

3:56 am

MonkeyGames

Yup.

3:56 am

diem

yep

3:56 am

sprite

managed to use up my patience in one single day. Ignore it to dust, I'd say.

3:56 am

MonkeyGames

I had not seen him/her trolling and mistook him/her for just a newbie but I decided to lurk and see... and I saw.

3:57 am

nmyb

but he is only 9 yrs old, right? hasn't learned netiquette yet I assume

3:57 am

sprite

well, that is what she claims, and it might be true. But which 9 yo can be online practically all day?

3:58 am

nmyb

love the grid..lots of words but they are real which is nice sometimes

3:58 am

diem

9 going on 30 going by yesterday

3:58 am

MonkeyGames

Might actually be 9. Fair enough. BUt what I have heard is that netiquette has been repeatedly explained and it didn't help. That spells troll at any age.

3:59 am

sprite

and we have had a couple of very young players that were just young, but no trolls and no pain in the butt. This one keeps going and then starts whining when all are fed up with it. We have tried to be nice, believe me.

3:59 am

sprite

diem, you got it :d

4:00 am

sprite

oeps, that was a :D

4:00 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, there's that one I haven't seen in a long time, now that you mention it-- lots of vowels... was a nice kid.

4:01 am

sprite

We even had an incredibly smart chinese or tai girl, Mizu... can't remember exactly, but she was great to have around.

4:02 am

sprite

well anyway, enough about the troll :) Let's ignore it and talk about other things. How are you all doing?

4:02 am

MonkeyGames

Back's not so hot right now but further good... trying to finalize my half-hour presentation for school.

4:03 am

diem

Sprite whats your weather like? you get a white x mas

4:03 am

MonkeyGames

OH, Walter's been shortlisted for an NCRV promo spot, did I tell you? We find out in the coming days if he's in!

4:03 am

sprite

your back is taking the strain of finishing school, MonkeyG! Not fun at all. Try and be as good for yourself as you can be?

4:04 am

MonkeyGames

Will do my best, Sprite.... thanks for your kind thoughts, as always!

4:04 am

sprite

we didn't get a white Xmas, but at least it was freezing. Back to cloudy and a little above zero temp now, but they expect more freezing.

4:04 am

sprite

no you didn't tell, MonkeyG! That sounds like a lot of fun for him!

4:05 am

MonkeyGames

That's the plan. If he likes it we'll do more.

4:06 am

MonkeyGames

The agent called me about availability and then sent his headshots.

4:07 am

MonkeyGames

Phantom: lithium

4:10 am

diem

i am fed up putting trojan in

4:10 am

OK, going to stop for now with 94 left and get on with housework then dive back in on that presentation. Have fun all, back for breaks!

herinfernallady

Sprite how are you?

4:21 am

sprite

in a lot of pain atm, not exactly sure what triggered it. Maybe just the december stress. Otherwise reasonably well, not even too down. How are you?

OH Hugs.

herinfernallady

I am working on my house and using feathers flylady thingie

4:24 am

herinfernallady

I just want to try and go forward this year. Baby steps

4:25 am

herinfernallady

I will.

4:25 am

sprite

4:26 am

4:27 am

herinfernallady

Thanks. I am glad SPrite that your machine has arrived

4:28 am

sprite

lol nmyb, sounds familiar! How old are your boys?

4:29 am

sprite

so am I, lady. Trying to catch up with the laundry now. It goes amazingly well with that huge thing.

4:29 am

herinfernallady

mmm dessert. I just made a tim tam choc soy milk desserrt

4:29 am

nmyb

12 & 13 this month but they are real sweet to me but one has a BIG appetite

4:29 am

nmyb

I love tim tams what kind of dessert is it, lady?

4:30 am

nmyb

I made a traditional Japanese dessert which I haven't made in ages..they saw it on TV and wanted it

4:30 am

mab

good morning everybody. sprite, congratulations on your new washing machine - such a wonderful thing (i go to the laundrette -boo).

4:30 am

sprite

mine are 12 and 11 next month. Also sweet most of the time. Eldest is a son and eats all day through. Daughter is starting to eat more now, and to grow of course.

4:31 am

sprite

hi mab, we don't have laundrettes here. Some of the really big cities have a few, but that is all.

4:31 am

herinfernallady

Tim Tams are Aussie biscuits. Chocolate with choc stuff in it.

4:31 am

herinfernallady

NMYB what dessert?

4:32 am

nmyb

hey almost the same but both are boys and it's the eldest that likes to eat. thankfully he is tall so can pack it away somewhere

4:32 am

sprite

the dessert you made from the tim tams, lady!

4:33 am

sprite

while they grow, they seem to burn it up faster than they can eat it, lol. My son is a muscled na4 atm, no fat anywhere.

4:33 am

mab

I think here tim tams are litte matzah crackers...

4:34 am

herinfernallady

4:34 am

nmyb

the Japanese dessert is rice flour-based balls boiled till fluffy, rinsed in cold water then add sweet red bean paste, canned fruit & some powder made from nuts

4:34 am

herinfernallady

mmm Yummy

4:35 am

sprite

oh that sounds lovely, nmyb

4:35 am

herinfernallady

No Mab they are not crackers

4:35 am

mab

I suppose I am lucky to have laundrettes nearby, even though most apartment buildings have laundry rooms, and i rather don't like going out to do laundry.

4:35 am

nmyb

beats junk food and packaged cakes/cookies which we've eaten too much of over the holidays

4:36 am

herinfernallady

We don't eat a lot of junk in this house

4:37 am

mab

sounds tasty nmyb and not laden with lots of butter, etc.

4:37 am

herinfernallady

These are timtams http://tinyurl.com/59llkb

4:37 am

sprite

mab, I can imagine that. Wouldn't like going out to do my laundry either! The idea of having a laundry room in an apartment building is strange to the netherlands, I learned about that through movies, lol.

4:38 am

herinfernallady

We got swamped with Chocolate this year

4:38 am

nmyb

2 nites ago we made apple brown betty with oatmeal-based topping (yum) in a lasagne sized glass pan & it was gone by morning (sigh)

4:38 am

mab

what dessert did you make herin, with your biscuits? you are so clever with desserts.

4:38 am

nmyb

me too, lady...we have tim tams here in Japan and I would love to make something with them

4:39 am

sprite

wow that almost got me drooling, nmyb. I love apple desserts.

4:39 am

herinfernallady

I just through in 3 of the biscuits into a blender with 16 oz of choc soy milk

4:39 am

herinfernallady

I love Japan

4:40 am

nmyb

apples, peaches, raisins, dried apricots with cinnamon topped with oatmeal, butter & brown sugar topping (very American)

4:40 am

sprite

mab I love your boombox!

4:41 am

mab

I do love my boombox

4:41 am

herinfernallady

we made chocolate pancakes the other day with m and m''s peanuts

4:42 am

sprite

how did you do that? Also in the blender??

4:42 am

nmyb

my fav dessert is carrot cake with grated zuccini & walnuts

4:43 am

sprite

where is andree today? She is in the grid.

4:43 am

herinfernallady

No we cheated. We got a shake and go pancake thingy

4:44 am

sprite

oh ok :)

4:44 am

herinfernallady

I had this brain idea that m and m peanuts would work. it kind of didn't

4:45 am

sprite

at least you tried!Q

4:45 am

nmyb

I tried m&m in Xmas cookies and they exploded !

4:45 am

sprite

minus that weird Q that jumped in entirely by itself

4:45 am

herinfernallady

they do that

4:45 am

hydra

Hi herin, sprite, nmyb. Why on earth isn't a squirrel's home, a drey, allowed in the grid? Doesn't make sense!

4:45 am

herinfernallady

Its the shells. You can do it with the minis

4:46 am

sprite

hi hydra! Enable doesn't make sense, that's why.

4:46 am

hydra

Grrrrrr!

4:46 am

herinfernallady

Hi Hydra because even Dr G thinks they should not be allowed

4:46 am

nmyb

I think Babble needs to add another dict. for a better balance

4:46 am

hydra

Is it cold in Holland today, sprite? Do the canals ever freeze?

4:46 am

sprite

*giggles*

4:47 am

sprite

they sure do, hydra, they did last week. Back to water right now, but they expect more freezing days and nights.

4:47 am

hydra

Maybe they're not called dreys in the US. Anybody know?

4:48 am

mab

I've never heard it, but I'm going to check.

4:48 am

hydra

Hi mab!

4:49 am

herinfernallady

I don't like squirrels

4:49 am

nmyb

Yeah I got the as 9..first time for me to get a 9 on my own..

4:50 am

sprite

it looks like it is the name for it, hydra, found more references to it.

4:50 am

hydra

I like the red ones but not the greys, herin.

4:51 am

sprite

hydra:

4:51 am

mab

the one dictionary I checked says that the word is used in britain and australia. I think we say 'nest.'

4:51 am

sprite

yes, the other reference is nest indeed.

4:51 am

hydra

I had my thumb nearly amputated by a grey squirrel that got tame so I was feeding it with peanuts in the garden. For weeks afterwards I was praying I didn't develop rabies!

4:52 am

mab

as in 'your hair looks like a squirrel's nest'

4:52 am

sprite

eh yes, thanks mab. I just got out of bed.

4:52 am

sprite

must have been quite a sc5 :(

4:52 am

hydra

Thanks, sprite.

4:52 am

herinfernallady

that is why squireels are evil.

4:52 am

mab

but you carry it off so well sprite. I think it's quite elegant on you.

4:53 am

And an sc4,5!

4:53 am

grin, nice catch, mab

4:53 am

Hi all. Just come on, read back in the chat a bit. Haven't been chatting over last few days, cos a bit of Real Life has made me busy. Anyway, Happy New Year belatedly to everyone.

Hello, Sally

4:58 am

happy new year Sally. hope all is ok now.

4:58 am

BabbleRabble

Hello, hydra

4:58 am

sprite

thanks for that clue

4:59 am

sprite

was it Good Real Life, Sally, or the other kind?

4:59 am

Sally-catlover

Hiya. Well, husband has been diagnosed with angina and has to have various more tests, possibly stents put in or even heart bypass.

5:00 am

hydra

Oh dear. I'm sorry to hear that, Sally. Hope he'll be Ok.

5:00 am

sprite

definitely the other kind. Rather frightening, such things. How is he feeling now? And how are you?

5:01 am

Sally-catlover

He's a bit shaken by the news. I'm fine! Hopefully all will be well and he'll be right as rain.

5:01 am

mab

that's worrisome. I'm sorry to hear that.

5:01 am

Sally-catlover

Luckily I have Babble to take my mind off things :-)

5:01 am

sprite

will think of you both. May all be well soon!

5:02 am

Sally-catlover

Thanks sprite. You all feel like my friends already!

5:02 am

jjks

{{{HUGS}}} Sally - there's so many advances in this area of medicine, which can be comforting. My father suffered from the same, but back in the '60s when so much was still in experimental stages.

5:02 am

mab

I know that those procedures are absolutely routine these days. I hope all will go well.

5:03 am

sprite

yesterday's lizard is back.

5:03 am

Sally-catlover

You're all so kind. Tony's father died at 60 with same thing, but these modern techniques weren't around then.

5:04 am

Sally-catlover

Why can't I have tandor? Grumble, grumble.

5:04 am

BabbleRabble

only 355 days until christmas

5:05 am

my 83-year-old father had his second by-pass surgery last summer. the first was at least twenty-five years ago. He was playing golf in two weeks.

5:06 am

sprite

BabbleRabble, usually I really like you. But right now...

5:06 am

Sally-catlover

I'll tell him about the golf. He can't play now, so that would be a miracle indeed :-)

But it is true, nowadays people feel so much better shortly after the surgery.

my sister's fil had his ten years ago and he's in his 80s now

5:08 am

jjks

does anyone have the first ai 4/4?

5:08 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, yes, I know. It's just that the heart is such an emotive thing, isn't it. Not like a broken arm or something.

5:09 am

mab

my father is an evil old man, which no doubt makes him a survivor. he is courting his third wife now. he out-lived the two previous.

5:09 am

BabbleRabble

add an abbr for a nurse

5:09 am

sprite

I have one, not sure it is the first. Kinda rhymes with the word for afraid that is also in the grid, sc5.

5:10 am

sprite

nope, wasn't the first, ignore my clue

yumm. Looking for the RE 7

5:30 am

BabbleRabble

re 7 == color and caudal appendage

RE 7 sounds like the bottom of a Bright Robin

5:30 am

jjks

yea! thanks :)

5:31 am

chickieo8

I have a young rooster <7 months old> that just found out he can crow and he dose it every hour on the hour,silly bird :)

5:33 am

jjks

silly rooster - how are they with the cold weather?

5:34 am

chickieo8

no no no he will produce nice babbies then I will do away with some of the older hens<Dinner>!

5:35 am

herinfernallady

ok. I have a real issue with chicken

5:35 am

Sally-catlover

Eating them or in general herin?

5:35 am

chickieo8

They are fine I keep them in the barn this time of year.

5:35 am

jjks

that would be hard for me

5:36 am

BabbleRabble

foghorn leghorn is one to learn from

5:36 am

herinfernallady

you don't name them and then you cant eat them

5:37 am

sprite

back

5:37 am

herinfernallady

hi sprite

5:38 am

chickieo8

How come lady? Some of mine jump up on my arm to say hello when I go out to feed them. Some of them have names. Your right bab!

5:39 am

herinfernallady

chickens are funny

5:39 am

Sally-catlover

Chickens are great!

5:41 am

chickieo8

they are dumb but you'll never go hungery as long as you have them! Fresh eggs and meat at all times.

5:41 am

Sally-catlover

One of mine has just come into lay, and thinks I'm a rooster so she bobs down when I bend over her. I stroke her and she's happy. No doubt she thinks, cor, sex is quite easy really. Not what my mum said :-)

5:41 am

herinfernallady

I don't think i could eat them if i raised them

5:41 am

jjks

at our old house a neighbor's hen used to come visit in our yard - she was a daring gal with our dog!

5:41 am

sprite

roflol Sally

5:42 am

jjks

rofl!

5:42 am

chickieo8

How many do you have Sally?

5:42 am

jjks

same here, herin

5:43 am

Sally-catlover

Only four. Orpington, Wyandotte, Sussex and Barnevelder.

5:43 am

herinfernallady

I could eat the eggs no dramas. I laugh at my mum grumbling about the chickens digging up their garden

5:43 am

sprite

the last one being a dutch chicken breed :)

5:43 am

chickieo8

I never thought I could either but you find out differently.

5:44 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, very pretty and shortly to come into lay I think. Will lay dark brown eggs (or else!).

5:44 am

sprite

I think I could if my kids were hungry.

5:45 am

Sally-catlover

To be honest, I could eat them, but think I personally would have trouble killing them. Wouldn't want to hurt them.

5:45 am

sprite

wow the biggies are weird words today

5:47 am

chickieo8

I have 16 hens and 2 roosters. My areaconnas lay green,blue and pink <easter>eggs. One hen lays white and the rest lay brown. I can't kill them I have a friend that does that for me.

5:47 am

herinfernallady

they are

5:48 am

jjks

how pretty to see all of the colored eggs together (I imagine)

5:48 am

sprite

was thinking the very same thing, jjks

5:49 am

herinfernallady

OH Green eggs and ham

5:49 am

chickieo8

it really is my buyers like them and they are all the same when you crack them open.

5:49 am

mab

eggs are such beautiful objects, as are egg shaped stones, etc.

5:49 am

sprite

lol lady... Dr Seuss! I read that in dutch about a zillion times to my kids. Still love it.

5:50 am

sprite

like people, chickie!

5:50 am

chickieo8

The grand kids love the green eggs & ham! I agree mab :)

5:51 am

chickieo8

you bet sprite :-)

5:51 am

herinfernallady

How do the chickens lay eggs other than white and brown?

5:51 am

Sally-catlover

They have paint brushes.

5:52 am

jjks

;)

5:52 am

mab

clever birds

5:52 am

sprite

isn't that normal for that breed?

5:53 am

herinfernallady

Ok i didn't know that

5:53 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, I am no expert but I believe they are bred for it.

5:53 am

chickieo8

It is in thier geans lady. Yes it is Sprite and they ar a pretty bird!

5:53 am

jjks

yea, 100 finally (I'm a slowpoke)

5:54 am

sprite

I have to be off, alas. Have fun all, and enjoy your night and/or day :)

5:54 am

herinfernallady

NIght SPrite

5:54 am

chickieo8

Your right Sally no paint brushes tee hee!

5:54 am

Sally-catlover

Bye for now sprite.

5:54 am

jjks

bye sprite!

5:54 am

herinfernallady

I knew that the paint brush was a joke

5:54 am

chickieo8

see ya sprite!

5:54 am

mab

bye sprite

5:55 am

herinfernallady

But i never knew that the coloured eggs exsisted

5:55 am

Sally-catlover

You knew it was a joke? Surely not?! Shock, horror :-)

5:56 am

chickieo8

they sure do lady I get them every day.

5:56 am

herinfernallady

I just had to clarify that

5:56 am

herinfernallady

learn something knew every day

5:56 am

Sally-catlover

It's funny, I've read somewhere that in the UK we prefer brown eggs because we think they are "healthier", but in the USA they prefer white eggs because they think they are "cleaner". Strange.

5:57 am

herinfernallady

I like eggs that are free range. From the organic store

5:57 am

jjks

yet all the same inside (lol)

5:57 am

Sally-catlover

Free range definitely tastes better - and with your own, you know they are really really fresh.

5:57 am

chickieo8

If you study about them you find out they are all the same taste and health wise.

5:58 am

Eva

Good morning all. Re eggs in the US, it depends on the region. In Vermont brown eggs are the favorite. The explanation I have heard, but don't know re accuracy, is that brown eggs are likely to be local and thus fresher.

5:58 am

chickieo8

GM Eva

5:58 am

Eva

We have a neighbor whose hens lay very deep, dark chocolate coloured eggs which are just gorgeous!

5:59 am

jjks

i only buy free range - now I'm going to have to fix an egg breakfast with all this talk!

5:59 am

chickieo8

I bet they are

5:59 am

Sally-catlover

Why should brown eggs be local only in Vermont, Eva?

5:59 am

mab

it is true: I have been in markets that sell brown eggs a few cents less than white.... crazy

5:59 am

Eva

They aren't.

5:59 am

mab

morning eva

6:00 am

Sally-catlover

Ok - just a perception then? Crazy.

6:00 am

herinfernallady

Hi Merp

6:01 am

chickieo8

I will proubly have a pouched egg on toast.

6:01 am

herinfernallady

I like free range the eggs are fresh and yellow. The cheap sh>> ones are yuk and you wonder if that is how they taste then how are the chickens treated

6:01 am

Eva

There are areas of the country more interested in local agriculture, more averse to buying stuff from mega-agricultural concerns than others. Buying and eating local is a pretty big thing here in Vermont

6:01 am

mab

personally, i prefer brown, but i can't say why - i think they are more esthetically pleasing maybe

6:01 am

kje

funny...here brown eggs cost more... another misconception...that they are somehow more natural or healthier

6:02 am

herinfernallady

KJEE

6:02 am

kje

hi herin...

6:02 am

herinfernallady

My favourite is ''Now with OMEGA 3'' um it already contains it

6:02 am

Eva

It does seem to be true around here that the brown eggs are always local, while the white eggs can have been shipped from anywhere, or local.

6:03 am

herinfernallady

THe other is Vegeggs. no animal products.Considering its um illegal to feed animal products to chickens

6:03 am

Eva

Our local guy sometimes brings these light green eggs into the store, but they don't sell so well....they look a bit alien.

6:03 am

kje

no issue for me really... cuz i hate eggs - LOL... only use them in baking

6:03 am

chickieo8

it is funny they taste the same the color is just color!

6:03 am

kje

LOL eva - green eggs with ham???

6:04 am

Eva

yup

6:04 am

Eva

ordo

6:04 am

Eva

sorry!

6:04 am

Sally-catlover

Re the green eggs, all you have to say here is "rare breed" and people will buy!

6:04 am

kje

now I am the opposite... if I saw green eggs, blue eggs, polka dot eggs...I would HAVE to buy them, just to see what they were like

6:05 am

Eva

I tried the green ones and couldn't tell any difference. They were a bit smaller and pointier.

6:05 am

herinfernallady

When I was with my mum and dad they had farm eggs. I have never touched $2 eggs since

6:05 am

chickieo8

how come lady?

6:06 am

Sally-catlover

The battery farming thing is a big issue in the UK. If you saw the conditions they were kept in, you would not buy the eggs!

kje

thanks for the laugh this morning... this one is a little too big for me today though considering all I have to do, so I will be off... but it is nice to know we in babble are talking about FOOD as usual - LOL

6:06 am

herinfernallady

You crack a battery egg its sloppy yellow and gross. Farm egg yellow yellow and so yummy

6:06 am

herinfernallady

Yes indeed Kje

6:06 am

jjks

a lot of la words today

6:07 am

Eva

Same here. Ever since I saw a film of how chickens for places like Perdu are raised in the US I have stopped buying commercial poutry.

6:07 am

kje

yay eva - I'm with you!

6:07 am

Sally-catlover

One of the reasons I wanted my own chickens, Eva. I so agree.

6:08 am

kje

granted, I can afford the higher prices that ethically raised local farming produces... that is a dilemma for some

6:08 am

chickieo8

your right Sally.My chickens are pampered! I even go to the store and buy them priced reduced veggies!

6:09 am

redturtlehead

morning!

6:09 am

herinfernallady

Morning red

6:09 am

chickieo8

hiya Red :)

6:09 am

kje

hi red...and bye red.. I will poof

6:10 am

chickieo8

cu kje

6:10 am

Eva

a friend and I were talking about what would be the last discretionary items we would cut from our budgets, if things keep going as they are, and we are lucky that there's a lot we could let go of with little difficulty, but being able to buy organic produce and poultry would be a biggy for me.

6:10 am

redturtlehead

how is everyone?

6:10 am

jjks

bye kje

6:10 am

herinfernallady

Good

6:10 am

Eva

good red

6:10 am

herinfernallady

I will never let go of my organic foods

6:10 am

chickieo8

I agree Eva!

6:11 am

Sally-catlover

Eva, we are very lucky here that we are near Ludlow which is renowned for local produce and organic shops. It's a foodie place!

6:11 am

Sally-catlover

And we are lucky as you say that we can afford it.

6:11 am

Eva

then there's the whole issue of only buying what can be raised locally, and in Vermont that would mean doing without most fresh veggies and fruits for about 8 months out of the year.

6:11 am

chickieo8

I bet that is awsum Sally :)

6:12 am

Sally-catlover

It's also much nicer to go into a small shop and get friendly with the owner than into a supermarket.

6:12 am

Eva

Although I suppose if we really decided, as a nation or a locality, to do away with long chain distribution, the money could be put into local greenhouses, hydroponic plants, etc

6:12 am

herinfernallady

Well if we all went with the seasons and farmed with the seasons there wouldn't be a problem. It seems most of society would like say Leek which is a 3 month vegie 12 months of the year

6:13 am

jjks

i love it when we have farmers market season here

6:13 am

redturtlehead

we have publix, a very friendly supermarket, with organic sections...and a lovely bakery.

6:13 am

jjks

i love locally grown fruits, nuts, veggies, etc.

6:13 am

Sally-catlover

We are surrounded by Welsh lamb, Hereford beef, orchards, local farms. The butchers have game hanging outside in season, and venison from the local forest.

6:13 am

chickieo8

me too jjks

6:13 am

herinfernallady

We have Macro foods and I shop locally at COS too

6:14 am

redturtlehead

but not a lot of local meat....unless you count mickey muse and alligator!

6:14 am

herinfernallady

Macro whole foods even

6:14 am

Sally-catlover

Have you eaten alligator? What is it like?

6:14 am

herinfernallady

mmmm gator. ye har

6:14 am

chickieo8

In the summer I grow as much as I can! Then I cann it for winter.

6:15 am

redturtlehead

i have not chosen to try it.

6:17 am

herinfernallady

We had a pet gator loose in NSW last week. How the hell can you lose a gator

6:17 am

Eva

red-I couldn't resist. This is a poem I wrote after a shopping expedition, years ago, while visiting my in-laws who lived in Century Village (a retirement community for those who don't know)

6:18 am

redturtlehead

not a great pet choice.

6:18 am

Eva

Publix - West Palm Beach

It pays to move slowly in the Publix Market
Not a place, these aisles, for last minute dashes
Careless movements
Heedless gain against the tide

Clouded eyes peer at lists
As carts wander slowly, stopping here, then there
Past purpled cabbages, pimpled chickens, frosted cases
Choosing lovingly, one ripe banana.
Just enough for today.

It pays to move slowly in the Publix Market
Where getting it done
Getting it over with
Moving on
is no longer the point.
If it ever was.
In this underwater ballet of hunting and gathering,
patience and age

sorry-ot printed twice

6:20 am

mab

oh eva! that's just wonderful

6:20 am

lynxxx

That's great Eva - almost surreal. hello all

6:20 am

Sally-catlover

Sad, Eva - esp the one banana.

6:20 am

redturtlehead

Eva, that is hysterical...lucky me, I live in Clermont, so we have a younger than average population!!! but so true.

6:20 am

herinfernallady

HI Lynxx

6:21 am

jjks

that's great eva!

6:21 am

redturtlehead

I guess I dont find it sad, because I see it every day, and the one banana, well, they will come back for the other one the next day.

6:21 am

jjks

hi Lynxxx

6:21 am

bichon

Eva, my parents used to live in Century Village in Boca Raton and Deerfield Beach

6:21 am

Eva

I found that I had to learn to move much more slowly. And the first times I shopped there I didn't understand why I came home with so many bags = but the baggers there are trained, that since they are dealing with so many rather frail people, they have to make the bags very light.

6:21 am

Eva

Ah-the upscale version bichon(-:

6:22 am

redturtlehead

I am glad not to be working in The Villages anymore, the penultimate of upscale golf carts.

6:22 am

Eva

I also didn't find it sad, because shopping becomes a very social activity, a reason to get out of the house, and peopl go every day, as the do in more traditional cultures.

6:22 am

herinfernallady

HI Bichion

6:22 am

bichon

It wasn't that upscale. They found they outgrew cCentury Village and moved to a more upscale one in Boynton

6:22 am

chiley

Hey...I live in the W.P.B. area....work very close to Century Village....

6:22 am

bichon

Hi Herin

6:23 am

redturtlehead

We should have a FLorida Babblers get together, we can get together and go shopping at Publix. LOL

6:23 am

chickieo8

hi lyn

6:23 am

jjks

i'm taking a break - have a lovely day everyone - see you later!

6:23 am

BabbleRabble

keeping the bags light does little good if all are being carried by one.

6:23 am

bichon

My mother never liked the shopping in Florida. They didn't have the same kind of "bargains" they did in the NorthEast. And the matzah prices were out of sight

6:24 am

Eva

The one in West Palm could make a fascinating sociological study-because the ethnic make-up has changed so much over it's lifetime, mirroring different immigration patterns, etc.

6:24 am

Eva

Don't forget Winn-Dixie red

6:24 am

lynxxx

hi Chick & BabRab

6:24 am

redturtlehead

Babble, one o fthe free services at Publix, is the carrying of your bags and putting them in the car, No tipping allowed.

6:24 am

chickieo8

i agree bichon!

6:24 am

redturtlehead

But Winn Dixie is sort of "Low Class" LOL.

6:24 am

chiley

Ah Eva, but the driving remains the same

6:25 am

Eva

babble-they get help putting them in the car and then make many trips carrying them into the house.

6:25 am

bichon

Yes, exactly how my mothe felt

6:25 am

chickieo8

Winn Dixie wasn't to bad you just had to really look at what you were buying.

6:25 am

bichon

One of the reasons my parents left Century Village is they bought a place on the second floor with their own personal elevator. Pretty fancy

6:26 am

Eva

The driving, in this case, was about two blocks. Two rather hair raising blocks when riding with my 94 year old father-in-law.

6:26 am

BabbleRabble

one of the free services here bagging the groceries yourself ... can tip if you like

6:26 am

chickieo8

I bet it was Eva :)

6:27 am

lynxxx

! I can imagine Eva

6:27 am

bichon

The driving in Florida is hair-raising

6:27 am

redturtlehead

oh babble these wizened souls cant bag....they are not of sturdy stock.

6:28 am

BabbleRabble

I give good tips

6:28 am

Eva

It was wonderful leaving frozen New England every winter to go and visit them, but that part of Florida is one huge miracle mile, and I think I'd have to have a lobotomy to live there.

6:28 am

chickieo8

We have a chain here called Sav-A-Lot and you bag your own which cuts the cost of the groceries!

6:28 am

redturtlehead

i looove it, but not wpb...never been there.

6:29 am

bichon

Exactly Eva. Me got my mother to leave Florida for an Assisted Living near us in CT. Then we cleared out her place and sold it.

6:29 am

chiley

I really like this area. It just depends on what you get accustomed to I guess

6:29 am

redturtlehead

In Oregon I used to belong to a grocery co-op where we bagged our own, it was nice. but not here in Fl. people are old and frail, except inClermont where we are triatheletes. I Love Fl.

6:29 am

Eva

very little but one chain store or fast food store after another, all connected by 8 lane roads, with everyone driving huge cars with their windows rolled up

6:30 am

chickieo8

I never liked Fla..

6:30 am

redturtlehead

Ahhh. Eva, Clermont is in the middle of the naturla bowls and Orange groves, we actually have hills.

6:30 am

Eva

sorry chiley-didn't mean to diss your home town.

6:31 am

redturtlehead

Parts of Orlando sure are hideous, however, and now I see exactly why Disney picks people up at the airport. they have no idea...

6:31 am

Eva

But this time of year the weather down there is very, very alluring.

6:31 am

chiley

No problem. I'm a native of Asheville NC and cannot for the life of me figure out why people like that area so much. I just hate visiting there.

6:32 am

chickieo8

My sister lives in Ocala and loves it because they have a change of seasons unlike the cost.

6:32 am

redturtlehead

I love it. SO much I am trying to sell out of NC. And I would agree with you Chiley, Asheville is pretty but I feel its just a bunch of NY transplants pretending to be artsy.

6:32 am

herinfernallady

Night all

6:32 am

Eva

Interesting. Everyone and their brother seems to be moving to Asheville. We thought of going and looking. What didn't you like about it?

6:32 am

Sally-catlover

Night herin.

6:34 am

redturtlehead

Eva, see below for why i dont like Asheville. Its becomeing very fakey fake. Like NJ in NC.

6:34 am

chiley

I was born & reared there. Didn't leave until I was married with children. I enjoy the cultural events in Fl. There just doesn't seem to be anythng to do there.

6:35 am

redturtlehead

Eva! Move to Chapel Hill. I have a great Home for sale there, perfect for a couple, lots of cool University events, nice wooded area....warmish.

6:35 am

Eva

interesting. very different from how it gets written up. Although I would guess that like many place, once everyone starts heading there, what was attractive changes completely.

6:35 am

chiley

In the winter everything is brown and dead. The mountains make me feel closed in. I've gotten used to green grass and flowers year round.

6:35 am

chickieo8

I'll stay in Mich. even though we have snow up yo our A#@# !

6:35 am

Eva

we don't really want to move. Just want someplace warm and interesting to be for a few months in the winter and mud season

6:36 am

redturtlehead

Perfect, Eva, feel free to purchase my home then, its semi warm in Winter and very interesting....

6:36 am

11:27 am

dcseain

hi, met!

11:27 am

pugmama763

hey DC it's been a while!

11:28 am

dcseain

hny, pug! indeed it has :)

11:28 am

MetFan

Went good, but one of my Walmart cards was labeled as $25.00 more than it was - how chintzy is that?

11:28 am

BabbleRabble

na 9 -- add one who lives under a bridge: ***l and the diet food or beverage, like Miller l***

11:28 am

pugmama763

HOW F****** rude!

11:28 am

lil*monkey

seain, it was my pleasure and so much fun!

11:29 am

redturtlehead

Met, someone gave you a gift card and labeled the amt on it?

11:29 am

MetFan

But I got SUCH BARGAINS!!!!

11:29 am

lil*monkey

metfan, you should ask them to check the receipt

11:29 am

pugmama763

after the holidays everythings on clearance

11:29 am

dcseain

oh very rude, met. maybe they mixed up the sleeves? oh good, point, lil!

11:29 am

redturtlehead

I always let gift card recipients discover how much is on there when they go.

11:30 am

hurshy

i thought the gift cards had the numbers preprinted on there

11:30 am

MetFan

Yes, red, it was written by the person that it was worth $75, but it was only $50 !!!

11:30 am

lil*monkey

i would let them know, met

11:30 am

KristineNas

OK I GIVE UP May I please have a clue for the Ac 8 ??

11:30 am

pugmama763

false advertising

11:30 am

lil*monkey

the store could have screwed that up

11:30 am

dcseain

most don't hurshy, you tel them how much to put on them, and tehy activate them at the store at time of purchase.

11:30 am

hurshy

sounds like an ingenious scam for a store...

11:30 am

MetFan

I'll do that, Monkey - VERY rude.

11:30 am

redturtlehead

Nope Hursh, you can get one at wal mart and put whatever you want on it.

11:31 am

pam

hi, all

11:31 am

hurshy

well, the store wouldn't, but the employee

11:31 am

KristineNas

hi pam

11:31 am

pam

hi, kristine

11:31 am

lil*monkey

seain, thanks for putting up our pic! It's so cute!

11:31 am

hurshy

you regularly do that for all the gift cards and pocket the extra, and most people will just figure their friend messed it up...

11:31 am

MetFan

Hi Pam

11:31 am

redturtlehead

A lot of people use it again until its gone, I got my sister 100.00 for Wal Mart. Sadly she shops a lot there.

11:32 am

pam

Hi, met!

11:32 am

dcseain

i just had to share :)

11:32 am

MetFan

Why sadly, Red?

11:32 am

hurshy

and even if the occasional person complains they probably don't keep track of who sold the gift cards...

11:32 am

KristineNas

They don't give cash back on gift cards

11:32 am

JBV

hi again - lots of people here to greet - hello to all!

11:32 am

lil*monkey

all the pix came out great, they're on my profile on Facebook

11:32 am

hurshy

if they do you would have to stop after one catch so it could just look like a mistake.

11:32 am

redturtlehead

For that reason Yes Kristine.

11:32 am

KristineNas

Hiya JBV

11:32 am

dcseain

oh, i'll need to go look :)

11:33 am

jacq

hey JBV

11:33 am

hurshy

this is a brilliant nefarious plot

11:33 am

JBV

just reading about your gift card, MetFan - that sounds like a possible scam at time of purchase - very disturbing because how would we know if we are buying the card

11:33 am

KristineNas

It is quite a pain if you dont use the whole thing at once , I went to 4 different stores and had to figure out myself how much was on the card. Just very time consuming !

11:33 am

lil*monkey

it's worth it to check on it, Met... you might get another $25 out of it!!!!

11:33 am

redturtlehead

It is most likely that the giver either mixed up cards, or switched them by accident, or simply forgot.

11:34 am

KristineNas

May I please have a clue for the Ac 8 ?

11:34 am

MetFan

Well, you tell them how much to put on the card at time of purchase, but if you're not watching (like I do), they could put ANYTHING on it, and you wouldn't know unless you go over your receipt. I always make sure I get what I pay for when I buy gift cards.

11:35 am

redturtlehead

I have not had any problems giving them from Target and Walmart, but maybe the recipients were just too polite.

11:35 am

BabbleRabble

ac 8 -- add a drum or dinner: ***l and when not alone we are w*** someone

11:35 am

KristineNas

The Visa gift cards I received were pre-printed , but Walmart ones were not !

11:35 am

MetFan

I agree, Red - she probably mixed them up, and gave someone else my card in error.

11:35 am

pam

I tend to look carefully, too,met....

11:35 am

KristineNas

with the value***

11:35 am

JBV

i had a frustrating shopping experience yesterday - had to return a beautiful sweater (size was wrong) and found out my sister spent $100 on it - that's the good part -

11:36 am

BabbleRabble

caveat emptor

11:36 am

dcseain

ah, ty, babrab, i had not tried that ending.

11:36 am

pam

I had a debacle of a time with Sears trying to e-gift my nephew. Target was a dream!

11:36 am

JBV

but the store was practically out of any merchandise in my style or color, so i ended up getting a cashmere turtleneck on sale for $69 and ended up with about $23 left on the card

11:36 am

KristineNas

TY TY BR ~!~!~!~!~!FIREWORKS!~!~!~!~!~

11:36 am

pam

Yay, kristine!!!!!!

11:36 am

lil*monkey

nice , JBV!

11:36 am

redturtlehead

Hi pam. you are on early!

11:36 am

BabbleRabble

congrats, Kristin

11:36 am

lil*monkey

wooo hoooooooooo Kristine!

11:37 am

pugmama763

yahooo Kris !!!

11:37 am

hurshy

but if the individual employee was scamming, they might be able print the amount you paid on the receipt even though they did not give it to you

11:37 am

dcseain

congrats, kristine!!!

11:37 am

redturtlehead

JBV that sounds actually like you got a good deal.

11:37 am

JBV

the turtleneck is very nice, but now that $23 dollars will result in my having to go back and of course spend a lot more next time

11:37 am

KristineNas

ty ty time to eat I'M STARVING

11:37 am

pam

that can be frustrating, jbv! Maybe they'll get someting in next season that you like and you'll have found money to spend on it...

11:37 am

hurshy

of course i spose then they have to give it to you though

11:37 am

dcseain

what a great deal, jbv!

11:37 am

JBV

i thought of that hurshy, we could be partners in crime

11:37 am

lil*monkey

i just chowed down on some sausages and poached eggs

11:37 am

KristineNas

Have A GREAT Day Everyone !

11:38 am

MetFan

So, Pug, dear, have you gone on your spree yet?

11:38 am

hurshy

couldn't you have just asked for a rain check, jbv, and exchanged the sweater for the right size when they got them back in stock?

11:38 am

pam

ciao, kristine...

11:38 am

KristineNas

ciao POOF

11:38 am

pam

11:38 am

dcseain

11:38 am

JBV

11:38 am

lil*monkey

11:38 am

redturtlehead

I need to motivate to do dishes and change sheets etc.

11:39 am

JBV

it was Ann Taylor - they have silk and linens out already

11:39 am

BabbleRabble

A hungry African lion came across two men. One was sitting under a tree and reading a book; the other was typing away on his typewriter. The lion pounced on the man reading the book and devoured him. Even the king of the jungle knows that readers digest and writers cramp.

11:39 am

redturtlehead

i like ann taylor.

11:39 am

pam

LOLOLOLOLOLOL, babbler

11:39 am

hurshy

ah. *has forgotten what it's like to shop anywhere other than savers*

11:39 am

JBV

red, I'm back from my walk - it took about 15 minutes, but I am really out of shape so I only walked around the block once, tomorrow I'll try twice

11:39 am

dcseain

LOL babrab LOL

11:40 am

redturtlehead

Yaaay JBV!

11:40 am

MetFan

Did Pug go Poof???

11:40 am

pam

I like Miami's coach, but I like the Ravens team.....

11:40 am

pugmama763

sorry Met- had walked away briefly-yes dear all used up & TY VM

11:40 am

redturtlehead

Pam is torn.

11:41 am

JBV

now I have to go grocery shopping - I count that as exercise too :)

11:41 am

MetFan

Oooh - whatcha get? Anything good?

11:41 am

pugmama763

mostly practical stuff I needed

11:41 am

pam

I count it, too, jbv, as I schlep the bags on the train...

11:41 am

pam

it will be fun to watch nonetheless, red...

11:42 am

JBV

I leave the shopping cart at the head of each aisle, so I can run (walk fast) up and down, rather than inching along with the cart

11:42 am

redturtlehead

pam you could be happy about the outcome either way?

11:42 am

pugmama763

3 phone batteries , 4 bottles of vitamins, a "Tweeze" (but I did get a toy too)

11:42 am

pam

don't know, red... possibly, I prefer Baltimore

11:42 am

pam

that is a good idea, jbv.

11:43 am

phaeton

JBV...so you're the one leaving their cart in the middle blocking the aisle!

11:43 am

MetFan

I did that, too, but you shoulda gotten something frivolous along with the practical. I did, got an iPod charger so if I run out of juice at ork I can charge up in a wall socket.

11:43 am

JBV

i try anything to get out of the store faster, pam -

11:43 am

JBV

no, phae, just neatly tucked away :)

11:43 am

MetFan

Sorry, work

11:43 am

pam

lol, I like it, jbv! I went this morning...

11:43 am

lil*monkey

I'm rooting for Balmer in the early game

11:43 am

phaeton

It surprises me how many carts i see with purses just sitting in them with no one close by

11:44 am

redturtlehead

its ok met, since my w is not orking well, I often go to ork.

11:44 am

pugmama763

its ok I did get the toy & the Tweeze just cause I wanted them

11:44 am

JBV

that is not part of my strategy, phaeton but I do see that, too

11:44 am

pythonx

There is a Chess Tournament taking place at a hotel. All the players are in the hotel lobby bragging and arguing that they are the best. After enduring it for some time, the hotel manager orders them all to leave. When asked why, his response is.... (get ready to groan)... I hate Chess Nuts Boasting in an Open Foyer!

11:44 am

redturtlehead

what is a tweeze?

11:44 am

MetFan

Mine's working, just a typo

11:44 am

pam

I see that all of the time... worrisome....

11:44 am

pugmama763

they show them on TV Red

11:44 am

pam

OY, pything!

11:45 am

pam

*python!

11:45 am

redturtlehead

Hmmm.

11:45 am

phaeton

'GROAN'....:)

11:45 am

JBV

what about kids left unattended in the seat - trying to stand up, etc.

11:45 am

pugmama763

a little battery operated tweezing device to remove that annoying fine facial fuzz

11:45 am

BabbleRabble

a fine one, pythonx

11:45 am

MetFan

Isn't it an electric tweezer that removes unwanted hair?

11:45 am

phaeton

or the ones pushing the cart, barely able to walk themselves

11:45 am

redturtlehead

OK...

11:46 am

pugmama763

instead of plucking hair by hair

11:46 am

pugmama763

Penny got one months ago 7 said its great

11:46 am

JBV

our supermarket has a babysitting service with a playroom - lots of moms use it

11:46 am

MetFan

We're overdue for a phone call, dear, when we speak, I want to hear all about the "toy" you bought.

11:46 am

redturtlehead

jbv that is cool...

11:46 am

pugmama763

still in the box

11:47 am

phaeton

How expensive is it pug?

11:47 am

JBV

they have a young teenager in there who minds the children, plays games with them, etc.

11:47 am

lil*monkey

is it along the lines of a Steely Dan, pug ???? :0

11:47 am

pugmama763

there was another one I liked more but too expensive for this time

11:47 am

JBV

she's certified by our township babysitting course

11:47 am

pugmama763

the Tweeze is about 20$

11:47 am

BabbleRabble

I have found that a flame-thrower works well on facial hair

11:47 am

MetFan

Mind out of the gutter, Monkey (I thought the same!!!)

11:48 am

phaeton

that's a good idea...they have that where my daughter goes to work out...a gym i think

11:48 am

lil*monkey

11:48 am

lil*monkey

11:48 am

pugmama763

no dear gutter was correct

11:48 am

redturtlehead

I am finding it odd that Pres Bush has not been on camera for quite a long time. I am wondering if something is going on.

11:48 am

MetFan

BLA-HA-HA!!!!

11:48 am

redturtlehead

Sorry off topic.

11:48 am

dcseain

red, you're scaring me

11:48 am

JBV

yes, he's realizing he's the lamest duck in the pond, red

11:48 am

dcseain

i don't want to think about that

11:49 am

lil*monkey

oopsie!

11:49 am

JBV

but people are also wondering about Obama not saying anything about Israel

11:49 am

phaeton

He thinks out of sight...out of mind...not wanting to get blamed for anything happening out there

11:49 am

hurshy

he was never big on press conferences anyway

11:49 am

lil*monkey

Prez Bush has been visiting the Stepford community perhaps ???

11:49 am

redturtlehead

Obama did say something about Israel, but not much.

11:49 am

pugmama763

Obama can't really do much till he's in office anyway

11:49 am

MetFan

Bush zoned out when 9/11 went down!!!

11:50 am

MetFan

Talk about ineffectual!!!

11:50 am

pugmama763

maybe doesn't want to "tip his hand" too much

11:50 am

redturtlehead

I just find his lack of physical photos odd.

11:50 am

lil*monkey

yes good point MetFan... he jsut sat there cross-eyed

11:51 am

11:51 am

jacq

not defending Bush, because personally the thought of the man coming to power scraed the hell out of me in the first place, but knowing the towers could hold 40,000 people, i think any leader would have zoned out, the horror of that moment made us all stop dead

11:51 am

redturtlehead

I keep thinking on Jan 20th they will announce that he has absconded to bora bora with laura like in December.

11:51 am

MetFan

Dear Pug, while we're here, might you plz clue me the ac8 so I can understand it??

11:51 am

Dorens

12:18 pm

pam

hi, dore!

12:18 pm

phaeton

tiger! wrong box!

12:19 pm

Babs1

well, perhaps we have a sick care system and not a health care system!

12:19 pm

hurshy

i have a friend who i just found out had a thing happen to her two years ago where she went into anaphylactic shock and got ambulanced to the ER, and it was like, two weeks before she was starting a job and she didn't have insurance yet, so she wound up with these huge bills. two weeks later, no problem, but that day, and she's in debt for years. does this not seem bizarre?

12:19 pm

tiger98

I know oops

12:19 pm

jjks

hi dore!

12:20 pm

Dorens

noy bizarre hursh, have heard too many stories like that. It does, however, sound cruel, inhumane and just dreadful

12:20 pm

lilliann

hi aslindy and dorens

12:20 pm

dcseain

that happens so frequently here in the US, hurshy, it's shameful.

12:20 pm

phaeton

it happens tiger...:)

12:20 pm

pam

unacceptable in an industrialized society, hursh.

12:20 pm

hurshy

see, having heard lots of stories like that doesn't make it less inherently bizarre.

12:20 pm

Deeha

I know our NHS is rubbish - but it is FREE rubbish!!

12:21 pm

phaeton

of course if she had been an illegal....that wouldn't have been the case

12:21 pm

pam

or any less inhumane...

12:21 pm

Babs1

part of the problem of course is big pharma and big agro keeping us stupid and sick!

12:21 pm

phaeton

need a break...stuck at 107...bbl

12:21 pm

Deeha

so young and so cynical phaeton!!

12:22 pm

Anniebrook

phaeton, that is what is so awful...that citizens without insurance are in debt and someone that should not be in the U

12:22 pm

phaeton

yep that's me...young!

12:23 pm

phaeton

That, annie, is our governments at work for us!

12:23 pm

dcseain

i always expect arret to be valid, but babble is not like a stop sign.

12:23 pm

BabbleRabble

what is diabolical is our representatives voting for the complete health care package for themselves why voting against more coverage for the rest of america as a budget buster

12:23 pm

hurshy

of course, you MIGHT then get deported...

12:23 pm

Aloyisius

hi peoples, lunch and Babble time.. and I tried to update profile.. checking to see if my flag comes back from cyberspace

indeed, babbler

12:24 pm

Babs1

you can put in suggestions at change.gov on health etc. for whatever that proves to be worth...

12:25 pm

hurshy

i was recently reading about how for-profit jails have to keep money coming in, so they are encouraging crackdowns on illegal immigrants. sometimes these are people who were brought here as toddlers by their parents and have lived here most of their lives, so it was not really their fault...

12:25 pm

phaeton

Their motto is: All for Us!

12:25 pm

BabbleRabble

theoretically, we the people in order to form a more perfect union have agreed to a democratic republic trusting out representatives will do what is best for the country

12:26 pm

pam

our elected representatives oft forget who elected them...

12:26 pm

JPgirl

did anyone get fireworks????????

12:26 pm

pam

3-3, Dolphins - Ravens

12:26 pm

BabbleRabble

instead, the representatives have more loyalty to their parties and any benefit to the people is incidental

12:26 pm

JPgirl

hi pam

12:27 pm

freedom of the press was intended to allow our media to be a watchdog, comforting the afflicted and and afflicting the comfortable. Now, the press does advocacy journalism to promote the agenda of their owners ... the watchdog rarely barks

neat, i did not have that word :)

12:56 pm

Judi

I really don't understand how or why some people see Obama as some sort of messiah. The dude hasn't even so much as flicked a light switch in the White House. As with all elected officials, he has to prove himself. Until then, I expect the economy to get a little worse, job losses to increase and taxes to increase. Reality is going to keep thudding along for quite some time yet.

12:56 pm

12:59 pm

redturtlehead

All except for maybe my housing issues, in trying to sell the house.

12:59 pm

Judi

Hope don't pay the mortgage. And hope has been around since Pandora opened the box. So, I don't see how we're being offered any more of it from Obama. Hope is what you create for yourself. It's not something that's handed to you in any form from some politico.

I don't generally discuss politics here or anywhere else for that matter. I just think some people are in for a really big dissapointment when the realize that our new President is just another human being who made too many fantastic promises.

1:03 pm

the i words from the bottom right generally have to do with the muscle/tendon grouping near the hip/pelvis
