1:54 am

VolleymomDee

1:56 am

jillibus

over halfway, mirabile dictu

1:58 am

VolleymomDee

nice jili

2:04 am

Douglas

A most impressive achievement, jilli

2:08 am

Douglas

Someone said a few weeks back that they were chuntering along. That's what I'm doing

2:08 am

VolleymomDee

lol

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

fireworks

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

thx so much for all of the great lists

2:11 am

Douglas

Minutes of painful staring, hoping that some weird thing like maypo will be a word, followed by finding a word that would have bit me if it was a snake

2:11 am

VolleymomDee

lol so true douglas

2:12 am

VolleymomDee

brb need some coffee

2:13 am

vashongin

fireworks here too...thanks so much dart

2:23 am

sandrafrances

good morning. how many words today please

2:24 am

Douglas

165, sandra, but be advised this is a grid for laying down and avoiding

2:25 am

jillibus

YAY dee!!!

2:25 am

jillibus

YAY vash!!!

2:25 am

sandrafrances

thanks. i will take heed!!!

2:25 am

jillibus

lying down, please.

2:25 am

jillibus

most of these words are rubbish

2:26 am

jillibus

doug, morewords is a big help -- essential, I'd say

2:27 am

Douglas

I was actually thinking about the Monty Python Australian Table Wines bit, jilli. The one where the announcer says "This is not a wine for drinking. This is a wine for laying down and avoiding."

2:32 am

jillibus

ah yes, doug, that makes sense <grin>

2:32 am

sandrafrances

is there a list anywhere?

2:32 am

jillibus

no, sandra!

2:32 am

sandrafrances

gee thanx

2:32 am

Douglas

I believe laying down is a term in the wine world for "putting in one's wine cellar and allowing it to age"

2:32 am

jillibus

just if you scroll down, dart provided some

2:33 am

jillibus

yes, doug, got it.

2:33 am

jillibus

it's laying *something* down

2:34 am

rubyfoo

good morning

2:34 am

jillibus

Sorry, but that other laying is a bugaboo of mine. I was shocked to hear Yale-educated, upper-crust Anderson Cooper talka bout people "laying" in the streets of Haiti.

2:36 am

jillibus

hello ruby :)

2:36 am

Douglas

I see no reason why you should apologize for disliking a misuse of the weirdly complex, but highly expressive English language

2:38 am

jillibus

I apologise because a babbler posted an objection in her profile to people's correcting English.

2:39 am

Douglas

At nbt, with a little help from a lot of friends, and morewords

2:39 am

jillibus

wtg doug :)

2:40 am

rubyfoo

how could the babbler object to an objection? too funny. jilli, we need to be "hall monitors of the world"

2:40 am

jillibus

I have to depart with 58 left -- too sleepy to persist.

2:40 am

Douglas

Well, that would be a reason I could tolerate, if not embrace. (Had a fleeting thought "Whoever said that is in the wrong word game!")

2:41 am

rubyfoo

sweet dreams, jilli

2:41 am

jillibus

ruby, this babbler (and I've forgotten who it was) felt that the person who corrects is setting him/herself above others and does so only out of conceit.

2:42 am

rubyfoo

bah, humbug! somebody has to set standards

2:42 am

sandyloo

hi guys

2:42 am

sandyloo

hmmm no list

2:42 am

jillibus

Well, I think so, but I don't want to be offensive.

2:43 am

jillibus

sandy, dart did post some lists in the chat -- you could go to the log

2:44 am

sandyloo

thanks jilli

2:44 am

rubyfoo

you couldn't be, jilli

2:44 am

rubyfoo

gm sandyloo

2:44 am

sandyloo

some of us need it

2:44 am

sandyloo

hi rub y

2:44 am

jillibus

Anyway, good luck to all finding these obscurities, and goodnight!

2:44 am

jillibus

*poof*

2:44 am

rubyfoo

back in a minute, DH just brought groceries

2:47 am

anike

Back from lunch with 14 to go

sandyloo

3:08 am

sandyloo

well done anike very well done

3:09 am

sandyloo

you are a hero

3:10 am

anike

TY sandy. Others have done this before me. if you get stuck sandy, just look back thru the full chat log and you will find several lists for letters

3:10 am

sandyloo

ooh thanks anike

3:11 am

anike

I'm going to say farewell, back tomorrow

3:11 am

sandyloo

bye

3:11 am

rubyfoo

bye anike and congrats! how are you sndy?

3:12 am

sandyloo

I'm well today, have just finished getting everything ready for our new (and cute) accountant and that makes me feel good

3:13 am

sandyloo

now he is going to train me to enter all the data - I guess I will enjoy that, I like learning new things

3:14 am

sandyloo

how are you Ruby - enjoying your little village I bet - I told my husband I would like for us to live in France for a year

3:15 am

rubyfoo

it is beautiful here right now, very long spring. But yesterday, the roses and peopnies were at their peak and my camera wouldn't work! very annoying. Then it rained and the flowers collapsed

3:17 am

sandyloo

Ruby, we would love rain - our biggest problem here is not enough of it - I LOVE it when it rains- sometimes we go without rain for 6 months

3:18 am

rubyfoo

can you grow anything?

3:18 am

rubyfoo

desert plants?

3:18 am

rubyfoo

fruit?

3:18 am

sandyloo

yes we can, we have a bore and a dam and a windmill

3:18 am

rubyfoo

aaah! Do you grow nellie kelleys?

3:19 am

eman2

has lickety been on yet

3:19 am

rubyfoo

somebody told me they're a passion fruit from Australia or NZ and that's my name!

3:19 am

sandyloo

our paddocks are green at the moment and we have a vege garden as well and we have nelly kelley passionfruit vines which get very full

3:19 am

sandyloo

no list eman but check the log for lists of letters

3:19 am

eman2

posa

3:19 am

rubyfoo

too funny! I've never tasted one...

3:19 am

eman2

sorry

3:20 am

sandyloo

passionfruit is yummy - when we went to the states, I took a whole box of them for my father in law, and they let us through customs (in hawaii) with them- I was amazed, it would never happen here

3:20 am

rubyfoo

1/3 of words, but not much more in sight

3:21 am

sandyloo

I have 122 left lol

3:21 am

sandyloo

I wonder if I could post you some

3:22 am

rubyfoo

I'm surprised; in Miami they have sniffer dogs and you get busted for an apple!

3:22 am

sandyloo

we have very strict restrictions on fruit entering our country

3:22 am

rubyfoo

are they black like regular passion fruit?

3:23 am

sandyloo

I told them what the box contained , I was very open about it and they didn't know what they were and let me through

3:23 am

rubyfoo

France seems to only care about genetically engineered seeds!

3:23 am

sandyloo

have you tasted passionfruit?

3:24 am

rubyfoo

my husband does the food shopping and I'll ask him to bring home one of the black ones and I'll describe what the inside looks like

3:24 am

eman2

roame

3:25 am

sandyloo

they have a dark purply skin and are yellow with black pips inside

3:26 am

rubyfoo

I'll describe it next Monday when he gets back (it's his Mon AM chore) and you'll tell me if it's a nellykelley!

3:26 am

rubyfoo

I love having a fruit named for me LOL

3:26 am

sandyloo

At the moment our gooseberries and mulberries are starting to appear

3:27 am

sandyloo

passionfruit have various varieties which are very similar but some are nicer than others

3:30 am

rubyfoo

I lovemulberries, but can't seem to find a bush (tree? shrub?) here to plant. I have plenty of space

3:31 am

lynxxx

hi Ruby & Sandy

3:31 am

sandyloo

we have two varieties , a weeping mulberry and the normal one- I make jams and pies from them or we have them with icecream

3:32 am

rubyfoo

gm lynxxxx; we are talking about passion fruit

3:32 am

lynxxx

Mulberry tree - huge - messy!

3:32 am

rubyfoo

ooh, yum

3:32 am

sandyloo

its ok on the property as there is plenty of room here

3:32 am

lynxxx

Again Ruby! I think you are too chicken to actually try one

3:32 am

rubyfoo

I guess the dogs would make purple foot prints in the house....

3:33 am

rubyfoo

*blushing* ruby the chicken lady

3:33 am

sandyloo

no they don't as the trees are a long way from the shed!! we haven't built our house yet LOL

3:34 am

rubyfoo

all of the peonies have collapsed over night!

3:35 am

lynxxx

Will they bloom again soon?

3:35 am

Sally-catlover

Good morning all!

3:35 am

rubyfoo

no, only once a year!

3:35 am

lynxxx

hi Sally

3:35 am

rubyfoo

Good morning, Sally!!!

3:35 am

rubyfoo

they are the ephemeral stars of the garden

3:35 am

Sally-catlover

All quiet at home ruby?

3:35 am

lynxxx

What a disaster!

3:36 am

rubyfoo

today the white one is opening; there are only 3 flowers, but they're the size of dinner plates

3:36 am

rubyfoo

yes, he got calmer yesterday, but is a bit stroppy today already, so it probably won't last

3:36 am

sandyloo

I don't think I have ever seen one - I don't know a lot about flowers

3:37 am

rubyfoo

I will try to post a photo I took last year

3:37 am

rubyfoo

the scent is lovely and more subtle than roses which can be a bit cloying

3:37 am

Sally-catlover

Seriously, ruby, have you thought of speaking to your doctor about him and his anger?

3:38 am

lynxxx

Peonies are like huge multi petalled roses - very feminine fowers

3:38 am

rubyfoo

I've tried, but he is always charming with his doctors and I come off like the queen bit**!

3:38 am

rubyfoo

(not in the grid)

3:38 am

Sally-catlover

lol ruby

3:39 am

lynxxx

hmmpphh Tell them about him running around with a rifle for days

3:39 am

Sally-catlover

I was thinking maybe some medication would calm him down.

3:39 am

rubyfoo

we would probably get deported!

3:39 am

rubyfoo

I made him put it away as the housekeeper is here today and I didn't want her to get freaked out!

3:40 am

Sally-catlover

Wise move.

3:40 am

Haz1558

I'd slip the dog's prozac into the Campari.

3:40 am

sandyloo

omg this sounds serious

3:40 am

rubyfoo

there remain about 20 fish, so, once we get the pond nets (thanks, sally), hopefully we'll have a breeding population if they're not all girls

3:41 am

Sally-catlover

Was thinking the same myself, Haz, though I didn't remember the dog was on Prozac.

3:41 am

rubyfoo

good plan, haz, like my friend who used to put pohypnol in her husband's scotch!

3:41 am

lynxxx

excellent suggestion Haz, goodmorning

3:41 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all!

3:41 am

rubyfoo

Max, the autistic one. It has really helped HIM

3:41 am

Sally-catlover

And hallo Haz!

3:41 am

rubyfoo

rohypnol*

3:42 am

sandyloo

you have fish ruby?

3:42 am

Haz1558

Hello! You just need something to take the edge off. Husband once accidentally dosed himself with cat sedatives, he was very surprised at how effective they were.

3:43 am

Sally-catlover

lol, don't ask, sandy!

3:43 am

rubyfoo

we had about 300+ until a gorgeous heron decided that this was his favorite restaurant

3:43 am

Sally-catlover

Had him purring in no time. did they?

3:43 am

lynxxx

and just how did he do that Haz?

3:43 am

rubyfoo

raofl

3:44 am

sandyloo

I am confused....what type of fish Ruby?

3:44 am

Sally-catlover

What did he give the cat in place of the sedative? :-)

3:44 am

Haz1558

He had intended to take something for itchy skin or something, didn't look properly at what he was lifting from the shelf - hey presto, one drugged man.

3:44 am

herinfernallady

Hello.

3:45 am

Haz1558

That'll teach him to read labels.

3:45 am

lynxxx

hi Infernal

3:45 am

rubyfoo

hello herin, we're talking about cat sedatives, difficult husbands, missing birds, the usual! how are you?

3:45 am

Haz1558

Vets can't be bothered to visit doctors, they have a nasty habit of treating themselves, even giving each other stitches when necessary.

3:45 am

Sally-catlover

*giggles at Mr Haz on cat sedatives.*

3:45 am

rubyfoo

we had goldfish, started from "feeders,", 23 of them and over 8 yrs, had more than 300!

3:46 am

rubyfoo

that is too funny, haz!

3:46 am

rubyfoo

meow to him!

3:46 am

sandyloo

wow , we had some coy in our dam but the kookaburras got them

3:46 am

herinfernallady

Haz my friend was told by her vet that they use human drugs on dogs. Saves her money getting human drugs

3:46 am

sandyloo

haz, that is very funny

3:47 am

rubyfoo

what exactly is a kookaburra? I know the word, but have no idea of the animal

3:47 am

Haz1558

herin, it depends on the drugs. Not all drugs are licensed for animal use, but there is a lot of crossover.

3:47 am

rubyfoo

I do the same with Max, although his vet didn't know about prozac for autism (or autistic dogs, for that matter)

3:48 am

rubyfoo

I got the idea from reading Temple Grandin and it certainly helped him get over his excessive timidity

3:48 am

lynxxx

Kookaburra is also a kingfisher - be glad you don't have them there Ruby. And they would laugh at your husband and his shotgun!

3:48 am

Haz1558

Strictly speaking, doctors are not permitted to prescribe for animals (or do anything to them) - or that's the rules here, anyway.

3:48 am

rubyfoo

for a while, I gave my husband xanax but he stopped taking it.

3:49 am

rubyfoo

here, too, but my MD will prescribe anything I ask for

3:49 am

sandyloo

yes Ruby, the kookaburra is the famous laughing bird of australia

3:49 am

rubyfoo

this heron is enormous, wing span about 4 feet!

3:49 am

herinfernallady

Haz the ones that cross over and she has to use cost a small fortune at the vets

3:50 am

sandyloo

Ruby, get your husband to get the rifle out for the heron

3:50 am

sandyloo

not our herin of course

3:50 am

Haz1558

I don't understand, herin, are you blaming the vet because your friend needs to buy drugs for her own use?

3:50 am

rubyfoo

and visits to the vet cost 3 times as much as visits to the doctor!

3:51 am

Sally-catlover

I think the heron is a protected species though they shoot anything in France seemingly

3:51 am

Haz1558

Yes, it's so that we vet wives can sleep in silk sheets and dine on caviar every evening.

3:51 am

rubyfoo

they are definitely protected here and guns are pretty strictly controlled, not like in the US!

3:51 am

herinfernallady

Ok let me start again as I have confused my self.

3:52 am

Sally-catlover

Ah, yes, Ata and FM were saying as much the other day.

3:52 am

Haz1558

You've certainly confused me!

3:52 am

rubyfoo

how about caviar and eggs? Sounds like a well-balanced breakfast to me

3:52 am

rubyfoo

after this grid, anything is confusing....

3:52 am

Sally-catlover

Just had scrambled eggs on toast (no caviare though).

3:53 am

rubyfoo

breakfast is my favorite meal

3:53 am

sandyloo

we have some rifles although guns are very strictly controlled here. We need to be able to put down an animal here and there and they are locked in a very strong steel box

3:53 am

rubyfoo

my husband keeps his rifle, loaded but not cocked, in the bedroom. Uh oh..... lol

3:53 am

sandyloo

Breakfast is my favourite meal too , Ruby

3:54 am

sandyloo

omg Ruby, that sounds scary

3:54 am

rubyfoo

on weekends we eat eggs and suasage etc.

3:54 am

herinfernallady

There is a particular antihistamine or antibiotic that she has the doctors prescribe for her (as the doctors in her area or shaddy) that she uses for the dogs. The vet was kind enough to tell her this as the quanty she needs for the dog is very expensive at the cost she needs

3:54 am

rubyfoo

in London, they served baked beans with the eggs and sausage and it was wonderful!

3:54 am

Sally-catlover

Is that legal, ruby? Here, if you have a gun I believe you must keep it unloaded and locked up (and the ammo locked up)

3:55 am

rubyfoo

I'm sure it's illegal, but would you like to tell him? hahah

3:55 am

sandyloo

I like muffins with scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce with a bit of bacon on the side

3:55 am

Sally-catlover

Oh I wouldn't need to. I would simply apply what my husband calls "that look" :-)

3:56 am

rubyfoo

that sounds wonderful, sandy. The french just eat bread in the AM

3:56 am

herinfernallady

Haz it is because this dog is so highly allergic to every thing and has so many problems. He is a walking vet bill.

3:56 am

sandyloo

our eggs are fantastic as the chooks wander free around the farm and the eggs are so fresh

3:57 am

Sally-catlover

Here too sandy. The yoks are so dark it looks as if I have coloured them.

3:57 am

rubyfoo

my friend's boxer is like that: she got bitten by a tick at age3 and has limped badly ever since.

3:57 am

lynxxx

I thnk I would find it impossible to sleep in the same room as a loaded rifle or gun. I am afraid that it would find it way to the bottom of a lake

3:57 am

Sally-catlover

sorry, yolks

3:57 am

sandyloo

I would be scared too

3:57 am

rubyfoo

I guess I'm used to it

3:57 am

sandyloo

our yolks are soooo yellow

3:58 am

herinfernallady

Ruby this dog is the wonderful product of inbreeding

3:58 am

rubyfoo

the "farmer eggs" here are so much better than any egg I ever had in the US!

3:58 am

rubyfoo

Max, too, stay away from black chows!!!!

3:58 am

rubyfoo

but he is gentle and handsome, just weird

3:59 am

rubyfoo

American eggs are palest yellow

3:59 am

herinfernallady

Haz I hope that cleared up any confusion

3:59 am

rubyfoo

I'll look for the peony photo for Sandy now

4:00 am

Sally-catlover

I think Haz is just finishing her second helping of caviare.

4:00 am

Sally-catlover

Must just check on something, brb

4:00 am

herinfernallady

snort

4:01 am

sandyloo

one thing I really noticed in the US was the paleness of the butter - our butter is so much yellower here

4:01 am

lynxxx

Infernal, and most probably the 'human' medication is under government subsidy hence it being much cheaper

4:01 am

sandyloo

yellower ...hmmm....is that a word...I think not

4:02 am

sandyloo

have to go and rug the horse and feed it bbl

4:02 am

herinfernallady

Yes it is because as I said the doctor there is shady

4:03 am

herinfernallady

It helps that she has vet nurse training. I love this dog of hers but yessh.

4:03 am

Haz1558

Animal drugs have to go through a whole different licensing procedure and when new drug companies start making a new one, they have to bear the cost - and then pass it onto the consumer.

4:05 am

herinfernallady

That is true Haz. She has spent $1000's on Vet BIlls.

4:05 am

Haz1558

Her choice, of course.

4:07 am

herinfernallady

I think she uses the human stuff only on anti histimines. Poor dog had Parvo

4:10 am

herinfernallady

On another note Lynxx you cold?

4:10 am

lynxxx

I'm OK tonight, heating is on but not cranked up

4:11 am

rubyfoo

I'm trying to change the icon to peopnies! Where is my DIL when I need her? She did it zip zip zip

4:12 am

rubyfoo

time to make lunch, will try again later ((ladies))

4:12 am

rubyfoo

peonies* usual poopy typing

4:12 am

herinfernallady

Heating on jumper on Socks on

4:12 am

Sally-catlover

bye for now ruby

4:13 am

Haz1558

Bye, ruby.

4:13 am

herinfernallady

Bye Ruby

4:14 am

rubyfoo

maybe she'll come back.....

4:16 am

lynxxx

some lovely words in the grid tonight

4:16 am

herinfernallady

Freezing cold here

4:16 am

Haz1558

Are you thinking of the ad6/21. Thoughts of him are keeping me going...

4:17 am

lynxxx

I like the big Ps too

4:18 am

lynxxx

must disappear for a bit, BBL

4:18 am

Haz1558

Bye lynxxx.

4:21 am

sandyloo

I am back

4:21 am

Haz1558

Hello again, sandy.

4:23 am

sandyloo

haz, is it really bad if you start a puzzle and don't finish it?

4:23 am

Haz1558

It's just the worst thing that can happen. The skies will turn dark and you'll never be happy again.

4:24 am

sandyloo

you mean, I may be "Smote"

4:24 am

Haz1558

I think it just means that you drop places in rankings but since few people know where you are, and few people care about rankings, I'd just do what you need to do and forget about it.

4:24 am

sandyloo

I figured as much

4:25 am

Haz1558

You'll be smote and people will talk about you behind your back. 'That sandyloo started a grid and didn't finish it. What a fader!'

4:25 am

sandyloo

hehehe

4:27 am

herinfernallady

Sandy how many horses do you have?

4:28 am

sandyloo

Herin, we had two but last week we had one put down. -that was sad- We have one old boy at the moment and I am looking for another now

4:29 am

herinfernallady

:( How old?

4:30 am

sandyloo

the one I have now is 25 but he is fit and I ride him- he is a great horse and won lots of trophies in his younger years- now we can let anybody ride him and he loves kids and is very safe

4:31 am

Haz1558

Right, I'm going to take a break from this. Back later.

4:31 am

sandyloo

seeya later haz

4:32 am

herinfernallady

wow. I remember someone having an old horse they used old footy socks to keep his legs warm

4:32 am

herinfernallady

Later Haz hope I haven't offended you

4:33 am

sandyloo

lol, he is in a stable at night and is very well looked after and has a sheep for a friend at the moment who never leaves his side

4:33 am

lynxxx

awww best buddies, how sweet

4:34 am

sandyloo

they are soo sweet and last time the farrier came the sheep stayed right by his side the whole time and I was able to catch him and he had his feet done as well\

4:36 am

lynxxx

do sheep often attach themselves to other animals? including humans

4:38 am

sandyloo

the do if they dont have a companion

4:38 am

herinfernallady

A sheep?

4:38 am

sandyloo

they are a herd animal and we had two, but some evil dogs got onto the property and killed one-

4:39 am

sandyloo

We had a ram once that did have a companion but it fell in love with my husband and used to follow him around and jump in to his car when he got home

4:39 am

lynxxx

the horse is going to be a much better protector too!

4:40 am

lynxxx

lol - lucky husband!

4:40 am

sandyloo

it started to butt us all and got quite dangerous so we gave it away to someone who had six females

4:41 am

lynxxx

there's a story to dine out on

4:41 am

sandyloo

never a dull moment here

herinfernallady

When I was about 3 my dad got chased by a goat

4:43 am

sandyloo

funny, herin but it is so scary to be chased by anything (except a cute guy)

4:44 am

herinfernallady

That goat had big horns and was a big old billy goat

4:44 am

herinfernallady

And I don't know how I remember this 30 years later

4:45 am

sandyloo

that would be so scary - we have a rooster at the moment which has just started to be aggressive so it will be in the pot soon

4:49 am

herinfernallady

My Aunt did that when she had a farm

4:50 am

Nancy Boy

you kill them when they get aggressive? why do they get aggressive?

4:50 am

sandyloo

you have to be fairly heartless with things sometimes and roosters can be vicious things (too much testosterone) and they can be dangerous for children

4:51 am

lynxxx

and sandys

4:51 am

sandyloo

as they mature that is when they get aggressive - some dont but many of them do

4:51 am

herinfernallady

Because it is a farm and you need to eat.

4:52 am

sandyloo

lol lyn, you are not kidding and I am scared of them when they get like that - I carry a whip with me if we have them

4:52 am

sandyloo

its not really a farm just a little rural property

4:53 am

lynxxx

And otherwise I am sure your chooks have a lovely long life!

4:53 am

sandyloo

you would be surprised though at the amount of food we supply ourselves with

4:54 am

herinfernallady

My mum and dad had chickens for eggs.

4:54 am

lynxxx

and I am sure the chooks are not kept in cages as in NB's ic**

4:54 am

sandyloo

the chooks have such a good life and we get rescue chooks from the batteries - when we get them they cant walk or peck the ground and have very few feathers - in a couple of months they look fabulous and lay lots of eggs

4:54 am

Nancy Boy

people can eat without killing animals, Herin, of course :) interesting though. I don't think I could do that.

4:55 am

herinfernallady

awww Sandy you get the ''reject'' chooks

4:55 am

sandyloo

maybe so nboy, but we don't choose to be vegetarians - I have a daughter who is a vege and has been since 10 years old

4:55 am

Nancy Boy

whoops, my message got eaten, I think. But Herin, you can eat well without killing anything, of course.

4:56 am

sandyloo

we give the animals here a great life , better than they would normally get and we love them

4:56 am

herinfernallady

Choose not to choose to buy meat that is ethical.

4:56 am

sandyloo

not evil roosters tho

4:57 am

gran

Any lists?

4:57 am

sandyloo

I respect everyone's choices

4:58 am

sandyloo

gran, there are lists of clues in the chog

4:58 am

gran

Thanks

5:00 am

sandyloo

we never kill our chooks only the roosters if they get dangerous

5:03 am

herinfernallady

roosters got those big claws?

5:03 am

sandyloo

they have huge spurs on their feet which is what they aim at you, if you turn your back on them thats when they strike

5:04 am

sandyloo

we do have some really nice roosters which will not 'go to god'

5:07 am

herinfernallady

I just got a custom made pizza

5:07 am

sandyloo

5:09 am

herinfernallady

5:38 am

herinfernallady

when you work both Lunch and dinner

5:38 am

sandyloo

ok, you must get extra money with the hours I guess

5:38 am

herinfernallady

5:54 am

herinfernallady

Feather time Ata

5:55 am

sandyloo

5:55 am

NonoNanette

5:55 am

lynxxx

5:55 am

herinfernallady

Ata We have the CCD out and a about

5:55 am

Atalante

and sily HATES the vet. Hobbit loves going!

5:56 am

lynxxx

Probably putting her cage by the front door gave it away

5:56 am

herinfernallady

My cats cage is by the door they sleep in it

5:56 am

Atalante

well I haven't yet ... I've been debating whether to go get the CCD (CAt Capturing Device) and leave it innocently lying around or nt

5:57 am

lynxxx

CCD - your husband?

5:57 am

NonoNanette

I once had a cat that would fight me tooth and nail against going to the vet but once I got her there she was so sweet and lovey for the vet

5:57 am

rubyfoo

sounds like my husband!

5:58 am

Atalante

not husband! he just stands there and doesnt help!

5:58 am

herinfernallady

My cat hates the vet. I have 3 Vet clinics for the brats, one for Lucius, One for Pandora's injections and one for Pandoras claw cliping

6:00 am

Atalante

and Sily can produce a real BUrmese / Siamese howl, all wavery and anguished, just for occasions like this

6:00 am

NonoNanette

brb I need coffee

6:00 am

NonoNanette

shall i bring the pot back?

6:01 am

herinfernallady

6:01 am

sandyloo

I have some chocolate coated pretzels

6:01 am

Atalante

6:02 am

herinfernallady

awww. Mine two are big lumps. Both get harnessed in the car cat cariers

6:03 am

lynxxx

anyone got some clever ways of cleaning dog bedding/cushions in Winter?

6:04 am

Atalante

clean the dog before he jumps on them?

6:05 am

lynxxx

they are not dirty like that, just doggy smell generally.

6:05 am

NonoNanette

c[_] steaming cup of coffee for you lynxxx

6:05 am

herinfernallady

awww Nono

6:06 am

Atalante

Febreeze? Do you have that stuff? It works quite well

6:06 am

lynxxx

TY Nono. Would you like a slice of ginger-beer cake or root beer cake (I recommend the latter)

6:06 am

NonoNanette

I was just thinking the same thing Ata I use it all the time on the cat bed

6:06 am

NonoNanette

ooohh root beer cake please!

6:06 am

lynxxx

We do - Thankyou, I'll get some

6:07 am

sandyloo

lynxx, got to the local stock feed place and see if there are any ads for horse rug cleaning, they will clean your dog beds too

6:07 am

rubyfoo

our pups just sleep on towels which I wash once a week. Fortunately, neither one gets on the furniture

6:07 am

herinfernallady

Please do not clean the dog with Feebrezze (head desk sad but true)

6:07 am

Atalante

it doen't work perfectly, but it certainly helps!

6:08 am

rubyfoo

see you later, lie-down time!

6:08 am

NonoNanette

bye Ruby

6:08 am

lynxxx

bye Ruby

6:08 am

Atalante

oooo I think we've just found a product that stretches round the globe!

6:11 am

herinfernallady

sheesh it is cold out ther

6:11 am

Atalante

its gorgeous here! I took pup out at 5:30 and even then I was in shorts and a tshirt

6:12 am

lynxxx

You don't have your leg irons on anymore?

6:12 am

NonoNanette

a bit on the cool side here this morning but at least the skies have cleared. It should be a nice day

6:13 am

Atalante

I do I do, but it's been set so I can have the full range of movement front to back, so it's almost like walking without it

6:13 am

herinfernallady

meh?

6:14 am

Atalante

it's still awkward, but easily doable now. I can't take pup out for long, I can manage about 40 mins so far, but that's better than nothing!

6:14 am

lynxxx

Poor luv but I am glad they at least did that

6:15 am

Atalante

oh yes! really it's just kinda awkward rather than anything else now, and I can deal with that!

6:15 am

herinfernallady

awww Ata.

6:16 am

herinfernallady

My poor cat is horrified that us mean humans spoiled his fun by disposing a rather poisonous spider.

6:17 am

Atalante

but! the physio is really really pleased, and says it's getting better as quickly as she's seen cruciates recover, so that's really good! I think in a way I was lucky to have a cast on for 2 weeks - that's not normal for ligament tears - they really must have had a wonderful chance to heal

6:17 am

Atalante

poor Lucius!

6:19 am

herinfernallady

We are so mean. It is good though that he barked at it

6:21 am

lynxxx

that's funny - my missing o was od4.4 - of course it is spelled incorrectly which is why I don't 'see' it

6:21 am

lynxxx

How did you tear it originally Ata?

6:21 am

Atalante

I find that one hard too

8:38 am

sprite

good luck rubyfoo. The CD of your son is wonderful. Great music, wonderful voice.

8:38 am

Nancy Boy

I have some worse pictures, from thinner days than that! Hopefully now my scales will start co-operating with me - muscle is heavier than fat!

8:38 am

rubyfoo

when I was still running, I did two 10K races, barely made it!

8:39 am

rubyfoo

thank you, sprite, I was afraid to ask if you liked it!

8:39 am

rubyfoo

8:39 am

rubyfoo

*proud mom*

8:40 am

8:41 am

sprite

Nancy Boy in action and you in spirit, EvaN

8:41 am

Nancy Boy

Lol! the state of shock came the morning after ;) I signed up in a state of super-hero-like intoxication. The kind of drunk where you climb up buildings because you think you can jump safely from the top ;)

8:41 am

EvaNadine

yes. my spirit is very active and thin. :)

8:42 am

sprite

crossy, I think you tried some day then! I felt it ;)

Riverdance

I'm back - not as many vowel words as you think - I dont like this grid though - up to 97 though

8:49 am

Nancy Boy

Riverdance

making me jealous NB

8:50 am

sprite

good job, Momnh, and welcome back

8:50 am

Nancy Boy

8:50 am

it is 15.51 here... I will stick to water, I think ;)

8:51 am

Riverdance

9:51 am here - much to early but still jealous

8:52 am

sprite

oh, my sweet daughter is making me a cup of coffee! Even better.

8:52 am

EvaNadine

must somehow get brain to focus on work...

8:53 am

sprite

or somehow get brain, period? ;) ;)

8:53 am

EvaNadine

i have one in here somewhere... i used it once...

8:53 am

sprite

I know the feeling!

8:53 am

sprite

it should be as good as new, hardly ever used it...

8:54 am

Nancy Boy

we should switch jobs Eva ;) I can do what you do and you can spend your evenings covered in beer and the hands of horny men. Doesn't sound so bad when I put it that way ;)

8:54 am

sprite

as long as they are nice horny men, it sounds ok.

8:56 am

EvaNadine

i did spend part of the evening having my chesticles ogled by some college-aged guys.
of course, thats because i let dear fiance choose the top i wore + well, lets just say the fashion tape had to come into play to keep everything in place and decent.

8:56 am

sprite

woooooot EvaN, wtg :D
And LOL @ chesticles. Great word.

8:57 am

Nancy Boy

lol Sprite! well, sometimes I am very glad that there is a big chunk of wood (no pun intended) separating me from them.

8:57 am

crosshair

lol@chesticles LOL

8:57 am

crosshair

hope they are not that hairy lol

8:57 am

Nancy Boy

oh dear Eva ;) still, college-age eh...?

8:58 am

EvaNadine

they were drinking, but i think just barely.
one of them had his back to me, but he kept turning completely around and full-on staring.
it was amusing.

8:59 am

sprite

so am I, Nancy Boy :)
You are precious, my precioussssss, not for everyone to have.

8:59 am

sprite

lol EvaN, not bad, such attention.

9:00 am

crosshair

darn program is hicuuping on me

9:00 am

sprite

give it a good sudden fright, crossy, that might help

9:01 am

crosshair

evas boobs on display are making my fingers shake i suppose lol

9:01 am

Nancy Boy

LOL Crossy!

9:01 am

EvaNadine

theyre not on display NOW crossy!
im at work. nothing titilating here. ;)

9:01 am

sprite

not just your fingers

9:02 am

Nancy Boy

sometimes I think you'd love to be in my shoes, Crossy. It is a vast irony in the life of straight men that, actually, homosexuality is the ticket to boobies :)

9:02 am

crosshair

yaa i just monkied a co 7/36 i have never heard of;)))

9:03 am

sprite

wtg crossy!

9:03 am

Riverdance

like your old friends crossy

9:03 am

Riverdance

oh no - thats the cr7 sorry

9:04 am

EvaNadine

its true. NB has probably seen more mammaries in his life than a straight man could dare to dream.

9:05 am

sprite

if I could have my pick, I'd be bisexual. The best of both worlds.

9:05 am

crosshair

lol,when i was younger,i used to hang with a good friend of mine,who had different romantic interests that i did,it woorked great,ladies flock to him and crossy lays in wait lol

9:05 am

sprite

so, crossy... next time out you must pretend to be gay, so you can enjoy the sight ;)

9:05 am

sprite

oh, that is smart too

9:06 am

crosshair

and he used to pick over my friends,worked all around

9:07 am

Nancy Boy

that's pretty interesting, Sprite. I sometimes think the same thing, since I've had some girlfriends (long story), but I don't think I'd suit being any other way

9:08 am

EvaNadine

NB did the impossible -- he spied his prey and managed to turn him! ;)

9:09 am

sprite

I think you are right, Nancy Boy. We are the way we are, and any such change would make us somebody else.

9:09 am

sprite

lol, oh wow!

9:10 am

sprite

85 words and wondering how there can be almost as much left to find.

9:10 am

crosshair

i am struggling at 49 in

9:10 am

Nancy Boy

LOL Eva. I wouldn't say I worked towards it, it was more a happy accident ;) I was relieved though. I was very much in luuurve and when I was finally forced to confess (another long story) I was pretty lucky not to get a punch in the face - let alone anything else!

9:11 am

sprite

you know that song?
"Words.... don't come easy to me...

9:11 am

Riverdance

crossy - do you list?

9:11 am

crosshair

not yet mnh

9:11 am

crosshair

i try not to list till 50%

9:12 am

Riverdance

its definiately needed today - I'm even struggling with the list but have gotten up to 109

9:12 am

Riverdance

morewords is helping too

9:12 am

sprite

no list, usually, but I think this grid may make it necessary, lol

9:13 am

EvaNadine

either way, NB my love, its a rarity from what ive heard to be able to set your sights on someone on the other team and win them!

Nancy Boy

well ya know Eva, everyone needs a skill ;)

9:14 am

sprite

I do believe that true love is about people, not about sexuality.

9:14 am

sprite

9:15 am

9:15 am

sprite

kje!!!!!!!!! *hugs* and a bit of shaking you because I never see you!

9:15 am

sprite

must be an interesting book, EvaN. I hope love will find a way.

9:15 am

how have you been?

9:16 am

sprite

which book are you reading, EvaN?

9:16 am

crosshair

i do not know anything about love..all crossy knows about women is that it has something to do with chocolate

9:17 am

kje

here is a great story! check it out

9:17 am

EvaNadine

it is called "Trans-Sister Radio" by Chris Bohjalian

9:17 am

9:17 am

Nancy Boy

I agree whole-heartedly with that, Sprite. Love knows no gender; love is never wrong ;)

9:17 am

sprite

am good! Finally out of the pit and trying to get my life back. Step by step.... very patiently.... LOL!

9:18 am

kje

good for you, sprite... (((HUGS))) hang in there

9:18 am

sprite

thanks EvaN, wrote it down, something to read some day.

9:18 am

EvaNadine

it is about a woman who falls in love with a man who, unbeknownst to her, is in the early phases of a sex change. he ends up having the operation to become a woman, and they struggle to find out if the relationship will survive.
of course, there are many other contributing factors...
im a little over halfway done...

9:18 am

sprite

crossy is being overly modest. Because crossy has a lovely wife and she wouldn't be with you if you weren't worth it.

9:20 am

crosshair

17 years this oct,so she gets a chocolate fondue lol

9:20 am

sprite

a friend of mine is living through that right now, EvaN! Fell in love with a man, was living with him and found out he liked to dress as a woman. But he kept it hidden. She encouraged him to follow his heart and now he is in his 'trial' period, living as a woman. If all goes well, he will get his change operation.

9:21 am

sprite

they are still together and still very much in love. She never had feelings for women before, but she loves the person he/she is.

9:22 am

EvaNadine

this book would be quite interesting for them, then!
i love bohjalians writing, in general. im a fan of his work.
but what i love most is his ability to write in several voices within the same book, as he does in this one.
he writes as the woman, her daughter, her ex husband, and her new lover (both as a man and as a woman).

9:22 am

sprite

17 years, beautiful, crossy. And wow, a chocolate fondue. That is true love.

9:22 am

sprite

I must read it, and tell my friends about it too.

9:22 am

Riverdance

9:23 am

EvaNadine

9:23 am

You're welcome.

9:45 am

EvaNadine

*le sigh*
had to move my space heater, per doctors orders, and now i feel so chilly in the office!
may have to wear long sleeves through the summer.
:(

9:45 am

Riverdance

OMG - did you see all the pa's listed - where the heck are they???

9:46 am

Haz1558

What has your doctor got against the heater?

9:46 am

sprite

EvaN, why did the doctor order that?

9:46 am

sprite

just don't look, Momnh, and enjoy the game ;)

9:46 am

Nancy Boy

oh no, Eva! why was that? :(

9:48 am

EvaNadine

dunno if you all remember my complaining of a rash across my ankles.
finally went to the doc last week + she thinks thats whats causing it... going back in a few weeks for a biopsy to be sure, but she seems fairly confident.
gave it some long, medical name i have never heard of...

9:49 am

Haz1558

So, the infamous robotic ending didn't have anything to do with it? You had me worried.

9:50 am

EvaNadine

i dunno... maybe the ending DID have something to do with it...
*looks suspiciously at robotic ending*

9:50 am

sprite

ah ok! Well, if that rash isn't anything worse, it is good news, right? Even if you have to dress warmer. You could make wrist warmers, they really help.

9:50 am

jmbdobie2

okay - i am trying to keep my eyes off the chog but what is up with the "infamous robotic ending "?

9:51 am

sprite

rashoid pyromatixia, Haz

9:51 am

Haz1558

We used to blame most things on FM. New thinking is that the infamous robotic ending might be the culprit after all.

9:51 am

sprite

hi dobie, welcome to the chog, grin. We know how to lure people in, don't we.

9:51 am

EvaNadine

its no HUGE issue if i have to part with the heater, but i am cold-blooded by nature, so it will make my time here much more uncomfortable -- especially since the guy who sits across from me has his fan running all day and wouldnt dare do something nice for someone else and turn it off.

9:52 am

sprite

that guy is an ass, EvaN. But take note of the wrist warmers. No kidding, they help.

9:52 am

jmbdobie2

ah i see ... so it IS a conspiracy!

9:52 am

EvaNadine

i may need wrist, neck, and ankle warmers...heh

9:53 am

Haz1558

jmd - I used the term 'infamous robotic ending' for 'oid'. kje wondered what the ending had done to become infamous....

9:53 am

EvaNadine

hey haz -- has anyone looked into the possibility that FM unleashed the infamous robotic ending?
thus rendering everything still her fault??

9:54 am

Haz1558

You could be onto something, EvaN. FM could well be to blame after all. Good thinking.

9:54 am

sprite

now that is good thinking, EvaN. We must investigate this.

9:54 am

EvaNadine

we know how much she wants to be rid of the blame.
it would be just like her to unleash such a thing...

9:54 am

cybernan

keep wanting paranoid

9:54 am

Haz1558

I think the lack of space heater has rendered your brain cells extra eager to work. That doctor may be smarter than we think.

9:54 am

rururocks

I know FM well and she would have nothing to do with an oid ending..period..

9:55 am

Haz1558

I know FM even better and I wouldn't put anything past her.

9:55 am

rururocks

lol

9:55 am

Atalante

I'd blame FM, definitely

9:55 am

FM has ruru fooled with her feminine wiles...

9:55 am

sprite

Ata! *hugs*

9:55 am

Haz1558

See? Ata thinks so as well.

9:56 am

jmbdobie2

perhaps FM is under the influence of a 'viroid'

9:56 am

Haz1558

Could the new cleaner be a viroid in disguise? (Must look up viroid)

9:56 am

Uneaixoise

a toxoid viroid, methinks

9:57 am

i believe i heard about viroids on an old star trek episode (or perhaps i was hallucinating)

9:58 am

sprite

hallucinating, or maybe it was the viroids making pictures in your brain

9:58 am

EvaNadine

and on that note, i am off to a meeting.
enjoy OIDing FM whilst im gone, and hopefully i will return soon. :)

9:58 am

Gail

Oh, so is mine. At 8 AM, I think. I don't mind the test, it's the prep I hate.

12:04 pm

EvaNadine

i dont know the name she used, but basically, she thinks it is because of the space heater i have under my desk at work.
i have a biopsy scheduled for later this month, just to be sure.

12:04 pm

12:06 pm

EvaNadine

she told me some story about female irish sheep herders or something who would spend all day outside in the cold + wet, and when they came inside, they would sit in front of the fire, and they would develop these similar rashes... thats what she thinks it is.

12:06 pm

guernseygirl

we don't get routine colonscopies here - just an occult blood test

12:07 pm

12:10 pm

EvaNadine

i wish i had asked the doc to write it down. would be very interested to look into it.
she seemed sure a steroid would fix it, but shes not gonna treat it until after the biopsy, just to be sure.

12:10 pm

EvaNadine

crossy, tried it.
worked the first time, useless after that.

12:10 pm

Scrabbler

So I apologize for using a grid by using a grid word. Good move, Scrabbler.

12:10 pm

crosshair

the good strong rx stuff?

12:11 pm

EvaNadine

well, no. thats why i went to the doc, but shes thinking steroid instead. :)

12:11 pm

crosshair

and it is on your ankles?

12:11 pm

Scrabbler

Hydrocortisone is a mild potency steroid. Next step = mid-potency.

12:11 pm

While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...

Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost
At such a cost

There's no time to lose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind.
Ain't life unkind?

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...

2:25 pm

Riverdance

the next 7 starts with the pa4/5

2:25 pm

Riverdance

the other 2 have a different second vowel

2:25 pm

amelu0218

same first 3 letters, and same 5th & 6th letters.

2:26 pm

amelu0218

2:27 pm

2:28 pm

amelu0218

2:28 pm

Riverdance

the other pa8 is the plural of a satire

2:29 pm

Atalante

I like 10 mins from a beach and practically live on it

2:29 pm

Riverdance

ahhh - thats OK - I have a lake 10 minutes away with a nice beach but too many people so I avoid that as well

2:29 pm

crosshair

too many citiots;/

2:30 pm

Riverdance

I like that word citiots

2:30 pm

Atalante

oh come here you annoying last pa7!

2:31 pm

crosshair

we coined it,here in wasaga for the summer ones and in collingwood for the winter variety

2:33 pm

crosshair

the winter citiot has more money but is ruder and less likely to spend it,while his summer cousin has less,but will share,but then will destroy everything around him

2:34 pm

amelu0218

2:34 pm

I dont have a laptop. Westford Regency Conference Center. 2 day seminar - so staying there as there will be a dinner/banquet tomorrow night and not up to driving 1 1/2 hrs home especially after a few cocktails.

3:06 pm

Riverdance

Now I can enjoy myself and crawl to my room

3:06 pm

Riverdance

if needed that is

3:06 pm

wht

Well, there is something to be said for that.

3:06 pm

Nef

Some conference centers have computers that you can use if you're desparate, Momn.

3:07 pm

wht

I work right down the road in Littleton.

3:07 pm

Riverdance

This is true - we will see how the withdrawals go

3:07 pm

crosshair

need one of those new i-pads

3:07 pm

Riverdance

we can do the wave

3:08 pm

Riverdance

those are weird

3:08 pm

Nef

Ata, will you need surgery on your knee or is there a way to avoid it now?

3:08 pm

Riverdance

anyway, I do need to go - daughter has a game - bye all *poof*

3:08 pm

Nef

bye Momn

3:09 pm

crosshair

the only reason i will not buy an i-pad is it does not accept e-pub files

3:10 pm

lynxxx

phantom: sayonara, papoose

3:10 pm

lynxxx

what are e-pub files?

3:10 pm

Boobear

clue for last sp 5

3:10 pm

wht

Hey, one of my favorite Celtics is in the grid today.

3:10 pm

crosshair

e-pub files are the standard format ofr all e-books that are lent from libraries

3:11 pm

crosshair

it is the best format for all e books

3:11 pm

wht

Don't know if it the last, but the one sp5 I have is animal droppings.

3:12 pm

crosshair

uses half the space of pfd,s also

3:12 pm

lynxxx

oh really! how sily - so those cheap readers are better for those? Dymocks have them for about AUD200 here

3:12 pm

crosshair

but ill spare you my e-book reader rantings and ravings

3:12 pm

crosshair

kobo is the new basic reader

3:13 pm

wht

And there is a cr4 synonym for sp5. I hope that isn't an indication of how the grid is today.

3:13 pm

crosshair

and i recommend it for starting out if all you want to do is read

3:14 pm

crosshair

very basic and user friendly

3:14 pm

amelu0218

yes, wht, it is.

3:14 pm

crosshair

this grid is evil

3:15 pm

wht

I am sorry to hear that about the grid. But I don't care. I am in such a good mood today that not much could wreck it.

that was hard work!

3:18 pm

I'm glad to see Lickety's back! We struggled last night with no lists -- Gremlin was absent too. All hail morewords -- I now have 57 to find.

3:18 pm

jillibus

YAY ata!!!

3:18 pm

Nef

YAY, Ata!!!! WTG!!!!

3:19 pm

amelu0218

Go Ata! woo-hoo!

3:19 pm

My daughter's wedding was yesterday, and in spite of the rain, everything went well.

3:20 pm

Nef

Oh, I'm so glad it went well, wht.

3:20 pm

jillibus

It poured on my wedding day (June 14, 1947) but I was told that was good luck.

3:20 pm

Nef

How was the dance with her?

3:20 pm

lynxxx

How lovely WHT!

3:20 pm

wht

It rained for her bridal shower - that was the storm that flooded Rhode Island.

3:21 pm

wht

It rained every time my wife and daughter went took the dress to the seamstress.

3:21 pm

wht

It rained as we were leaving for the rehearsal.

3:22 pm

wht

And it rained for the wedding. So I hope she has a good store of good luck established.

3:23 pm

Nef

Did the skies cry for you (losing your daughter)?

3:23 pm

wht

The weather forcast yesterday morning included a tornado watch. All of a sudden, rain didn't seem so bad.

3:23 pm

Nef

LOL! I bet!

3:23 pm

jillibus

Oh absitively and posolutely, wht!

3:24 pm

jillibus

(That referredt to lots of good luck)

3:24 pm

lynxxx

You guys had bad tornados yesterday I heard, lives lost too I was very sad to hear

3:24 pm

wht

No, the sky's weren't crying because I wasn't crying. I haven't lost her. And we like his family and they live a mile from us, so now we have gained some new friends.

3:25 pm

jillibus

Nef, I think you lose sons, not daughters, when they get married.

3:25 pm

Nef

That's good, wht. It must be a good sign then (as jilli said)

3:25 pm

jillibus

Lucky you, wht!

3:26 pm

wht

My daughter and her fiance did all the planning for the wedding. I happy for her and I was so proud to see what a good job she did, and how thoughtful she was.

3:26 pm

Nef

ah, jilli, I found that out when my son married. :-( My daughter claims she doubts if she will get married; and definitely won't bear children (due to family health histories)

3:27 pm

Nef

That's so nice, wht!

3:27 pm

jillibus

Maybe there will be some genetic marvels ahead, nef.

3:29 pm

Nef

we can only hope, jilli. Although I keep reminding DH that his M.S. hasn't been anything like his mothers'

3:30 pm

Nef

There are so many improvements in the treatment of it today

3:31 pm

jillibus

A heredity aspect to MS? Has he had his jugular checked? (That new theory).

3:32 pm

Nef

Could someone please clue for that 3rd row, 4th column A? Just the letter count, please. Thanks

3:32 pm

lynxxx

ar4.5

3:32 pm

jillibus

ad4/5 I think, nef

3:32 pm

wht

Would if I had it.

3:33 pm

jillibus

lynxx is right, sorry.

3:33 pm

Kazzer99

hi again does anyone have a clue for the pa 5/16 please

3:34 pm

Nef

There IS a "familial" aspect of MS. For him, his mother had a 25% chance of passing it on to her child (he's the only child); but for men, there's less than a 5% chance of passing it on

3:34 pm

wht

ty lynxxx

3:34 pm

jillibus

sorry, kazzer, not me

3:34 pm

lynxxx

pa5,16 is like the ma5.16 of the town
