we are looking after a trotter from over the road to give Scrimmy some company at the moment- it is so skinny - it is disgraceful- these racing people often don't care about their horses they are only in it for the money

I just had a stella idea
3:47 am
sandyloo
we have lovely paddocks and I am secretly feeding it- Bruce won't have it here if it chews our trees so I hope things will work out so I can give it some TLC

4:22 am
herinfernallady
As it is a repeat pattern I can do a few things. Cut up one panel and have a full panel the remnants into smaller panels. Like the godzilla dark panel at the bottom as one piece and the little side panel as another. I also want to go to an op shop (thrift store) by some curtains and transfer them to our roller blind
4:30 am

oh yes Sally - been very lucky. Friend of mine has been looking for a new flatmate for a few months now. It's gonna be fun!
5:08 am
Sally-catlover
Sandy, if you look on your left side of the screen you can see which of your friends are on line, and yoiu can chat with them and no-one else can read. They can only read what you post in public on your wall.
5:09 am

If it's to be avoided, are you still watching it, herin?

They will be happy too. Beer really affects them as they are little. i think when bigger animals they get a buzz. We had possums that used to get totally wobbly off your feet drunk on rotten nectarines
7:28 am
Mom
I'll tell you how I would pick them up ..... ""Oh Sweetie""
7:28 am

reminds me of a funny holiday letter I once re4. Somewhere it said: "I am sorry to tell you your uncle Anton passed away. He drowned in a bottle of beer. We did try to save him but he fought back valiantly."

Haz1558
Oh, I have no problem with the calorie consumption.
9:35 am
FMitch
How long do you think it will take you?
9:35 am
Haz1558
I love the story of the Irish rugby player who was late to a practice. He was told off for being late for the warm-up. His reply was 'Sure, I had the heater on in the car.'
9:36 am
FMitch
*groan* that is almost as bad as one of BabbleRabbles.
9:36 am
Boobear
clue for et6 please
9:36 am
Haz1558
I'm reckoning on between 2 and a half to 3 hours. Some headcases did the 10 miles in under 2 hours last year, but that's a bit ambitious with my short legs.
9:37 am
FMitch
so you set off at 10pm? - don't think I can stay awake to see you cross the finish line but will be dreaming successful thoughts your way.
9:37 am
Haz1558
et6 - et plus the sometimes vowel, then French for my (or start of French mister (***sieur)
9:38 am
FMitch
and pl it Boo
9:38 am
hurshy
what's the top right O and what's the middle i ?
9:38 am
Ouwachita
any clue for the mi6/36 ?
9:38 am
Haz1558
Yes, first batch goes at 10 and then they'll send us off in batches after that. It'll still be light at that stage but dark by the time we finish. Unless I find a sneaky short cut back again. (Joking, I'll walk every step)
9:38 am
FMitch
oooo the top righ o is a inuit boat which has been causing probs all day.
9:39 am
Haz1558
mi6/36 - think in terms of GIlbert and Sullivan's Japanese phase.
9:39 am
hurshy
oh, i have the U version - didn't know you could spell it with double O!
9:39 am
Ouwachita
thanks, got it

9:43 am
Haz1558
No, it's im5.
9:43 am
FMitch
if it started with an a it would be an am*** acid
9:43 am
Judi

9:48 am
FMitch
... and back - chicken is looking good and golden and smells great.
9:48 am
Nancy Boy
For once, eh? Well, best of luck with that
9:49 am
Haz1558

Haz1558
I know, it's been great to have everyone's support, FM.
9:52 am
Nancy Boy
oh yes, FM - turns out, a guy I know has been searching for a new flatmate for weeks. I don't know him well, but we always get along like a house on fire...he helped me move today. Should be lots of fun. Thank you!
9:54 am
Nancy Boy
(and his cat has warmed to me, so it should be a permanent arrangment..)
9:54 am
FMitch
Oh that is good to hear NB, at least you can settle down for a bit and recharge your batteries and take stock.
9:55 am
Nancy Boy
yes FM...a great relief. I was glad to get out, as well - there's been lots of arguments the past few days. I'm ready to make a clean break of it now
9:55 am
Nancy Boy
however, just popped my head in to demonstrate how well my laptop is connecting to the new internet...better get back to unpacking. Have fun!

10:02 am

.... and pl for the7/56
10:03 am
Haz1558
You're welcome.
10:03 am
hurshy
rats, no pl and adding a vowel isn't helping.
10:03 am
Haz1558
Sometimes vowel.
10:03 am
Kallia
add sometime vowel
10:04 am
FMitch
I will leave you in able hands hursh. TTFN all.

Thanks, Kallia. I'm hiding out inside as well for a while.
10:09 am
mkg
i dont get the da 6 clue at all.
10:10 am
Haz1558
da plus a type of fish (*** carp) finish with a consonant.
10:11 am
Haz1558
Or, think of a state that begins with a DA, but change the last two letter.
10:15 am
Haz1558
un6 - single legged?
10:16 am
Haz1558
Or un plus up to date listening device
10:16 am
hurshy
ah, thanks. CS Lewis went with mono- for that so i think of that as the correct prefix ;)
10:16 am
Haz1558
No problem.
10:17 am
bichon
State doesn't begin with DA, but it is the second word in two states that have directional beginnings [Bichon pedantically adds]
10:17 am
hurshy
before they were states they were the DA territory, though!
10:18 am
Haz1558
That'll certainly clear up any confusion for mkg.
10:20 am
stidmama
hello all! ((hugs)) how's the grid? I deserve a break today!
10:20 am
stidmama
oh, there's the kettle. back with tea in a few.
10:21 am

Hello, stidmama. It's neither simple or horrendous.
10:21 am
Haz1558
Nor horrendous.
10:22 am
Boobear
clue for mi 6
10:23 am
Boobear
oops mi6/36
10:23 am
bichon
don't have it Boo
10:24 am
Angelsong
hi, all. I'm stuck on the mi6/36, clues, please?
10:24 am
Haz1558
mi6 - Japanese word for emperor, think of Gilbert and Sullivan operetta using the title.
10:24 am
Haz1558
You're welcome.
10:25 am
Boobear
who are gilbert and sullivan
10:25 am
Haz1558
They wrote things like the Pirates of Penzance, The Gondoliers, etc.
10:26 am
Erda
Gasp, Haz....my mouth is hanging open...
10:26 am
Angelsong
ty, haz, that helped!
10:26 am
Haz1558
You're welcome.
10:27 am
Haz1558
They were Victorian, extremely popular, very funny with lovely music.
10:27 am
Haz1558
Hello Erda.
10:27 am
Erda
Hello Haz!!!
10:28 am
stidmama
back. tea, dressed and one garbage can up from the road (the big one hasn't been picked up yet, it's recycling day)
10:28 am
stidmama
I like not horrendous. Yesterday's was a tad challenging.
10:28 am
Haz1558
In other words, you're clothed and in your right mind, stid.
10:29 am
lbdawger
ta da! firbirds!
10:29 am
Haz1558
Well done, lbd!
10:29 am
lbdawger
ty for all the clues especially the m's and d's!
10:30 am
Haz1558
You're welcome, not a few uncommon words today.
10:30 am
stidmama
hey LBD. I sent off the letters just before midnight. I was VERY stern. And tougher than originally.
10:30 am
stidmama
YAY LBD, btw!
10:30 am
lbdawger
hello everyone! It really isn't a nasty monster of a grid today! little over an hour to finish, stid. so you'll be done in no time!
10:31 am
lbdawger
good for you, Stid! You gotta be the power broker for stidkid!
10:31 am
stidmama
that's not bad. stidkid has his last class with that particular teacher today, and then I believe we have the ball rolling for him to have a much better experience next year
10:32 am
stidmama
oh, and I cited chapters, but not verses -- federal and state statute and state rules... hope that will be scary enough. AND I included the principal this time. Documenting that we started with the teacher and then "worked up"
10:33 am
lbdawger
good for you! the Principal, hopefully will get it all sorted out and on the right path!
10:33 am
stidmama
*proud mama look* it may be a tad late, but it is coming. AND hopefully this will set him up to access services post-secondary as well.
10:34 am
lbdawger
No problem with post-secondary services. Anyone with documented disabilities are protected by ADA, and all the assistance needed. No ands ifs or buts about what should be done.
10:35 am
Haz1558
Slipping out - have a good day!
10:35 am
stidmama
so this summer I will work with him, take my classes, get my office ready for me to work in it next year, get the yard whipped into shape AND get my kids ready for the new school year. I think I can handle it...
10:35 am
lbdawger
Often times, more services are given than are necessary at post secondary level
10:35 am
stidmama
later Haz! ((hugs)) have a lovely day!
10:35 am
lbdawger
hagd Haz!
10:36 am
stidmama
the only problem we may have LBD is that he is so reluctant often to "stand out" but as he gets a little older that may change.
10:37 am
lbdawger
This is what i did for the last 30 years at the post-secondary level, so don't be afraid to ask for help! Reticence will get him little, but as his advocate you can walk in the Disability Services office with him and get the ball rolling.
10:38 am
stidmama
(((LBD))) thanks.
10:38 am
stidmama
this wheel is determined to squeak until the race is over...
10:40 am
lbdawger
good for you. I always appreciated the parents that walked their kids into my office. Of course I often told them that "now you student is an adult and I must direct all my concerns to him. You are welcome to sit in with us and help prompt him/her as you need, but it is HIS/HER education."
10:40 am
stidmama
hope your sister is okay? I noticed you mentioned suitcases -- and since I don't like to travel...
10:41 am
stidmama
Yes, and legally we don't have a lot of say once he turns 18. But until then... *stern mama look* they DO have to deal with me!
10:41 am
lbdawger
BigSis is hanging in there. Shooshoo just got home and is getting back into her own routine.
10:42 am
stidmama
good. *nods head approvingly* routines are good to have.
10:43 am
lbdawger
yeah, we skyped for 2 hours last night! lots of little things we need to get squared away and to also help Bigsis get things organized.
10:43 am

11:14 am
stidmama
I haven't been through Kelowna in more than 25 years. BUT as I recall, it was lovely country. That was the trip my family took through Montana and Alberta, finishing up with Lake Louise and Vancouver.
11:15 am
cybernan
It is lovely when the sun shines -- something we haven't seen too much of yet this summer
11:15 am
cybernan
any clues out there for the first da 6/24?
11:15 am

A rambler - and there are soooo many bloom but no scent.
11:32 am
stidmama
well I love it. I have a rambler that I rescued from my parents' house that is languishing somewhere in the garden (if the slugs and deer haven't eaten it up yet).
11:32 am
cybernan
stuck on that no 5
11:32 am
stidmama
it's a very light pink -- fades to white, single and probably very old. It came with their house when they bought it more than 40 years ago
11:32 am
FMitch

11:36 am
FMitch

rubyfoo
hello, is anybody still here?
12:28 pm
bichon
I'm here ruby
12:29 pm
FMitch
Im here too for a little while.
12:29 pm
rubyfoo
hello bichon and FM
12:29 pm
bichon
I'm here in the beautiful Bay Area of San Francisco eating up this great weather
12:29 pm
FMitch
Hi ruby, hows the garden going?
12:30 pm
FMitch
lovely bichon!
12:30 pm
rubyfoo
it turned lovely here, too, after a big storm last night and rain for two days, but it's still pretty cool
12:30 pm
FMitch
I've been to SF quite a few times.
12:30 pm
rubyfoo
lots of raspberries and red currants ready to be picked when I have the energy
12:30 pm
bichon
It's so nice the breathe pollen free, humidity less air
12:31 pm
FMitch
ohh yum ruby!
12:31 pm
rubyfoo
otherwise, besides wonderful roses and peonies, it is the battle of the weeds!
12:31 pm
rubyfoo
I have never seen pollen anyplace like here, it is yellow-green, thick and lasts for months. Fortunately, I'm not allergic
12:32 pm
bichon
the roses are beautiful here, but they don't get a second and third bloom like we do in the Northeast
12:32 pm
rubyfoo
that is another part of my gardening work, deadheading ugh!
12:32 pm
FMitch
You are very lucky then ruby.
12:32 pm
bichon
My first task when I get home next week is to clean the windows and screen of the yellow-green plague
12:33 pm
rubyfoo
I used to have "rose fever" in spring when I lived in the NE US, but here, no problem
12:33 pm
FMitch
Based on what you two have said I count myself lucky then.
12:33 pm
rubyfoo
what, you don't like pollen? all the bees are smiling!
12:33 pm
bichon
Rose fever just refers to the time of year More likely it's tree pollen
12:34 pm
bichon
There's no pollen in Britain, FMithch
12:34 pm
rubyfoo
yes, I'm sure you're right, bichon
12:34 pm
FMitch
it is grass pollen time here now - tree pollen was back in Apri/May time.
12:35 pm
rubyfoo
the most pollen seems to come from the conifers, big and little
12:35 pm
rubyfoo
do you have lilies FM? That is what is missing from this garden!
12:35 pm
rubyfoo
The first few years I had foxgloves, delphium and lupines, but they've all disappeared
12:36 pm
FMitch
bichon i beg to differ I sneezed and had streaming eyes for almost 2 months in the spring.
12:37 pm
FMitch
No, no lillies sorry to say.
12:38 pm
bichon
I had a problem with the lupines? They disappeared. But my delphinium and foxgloves haven't been a problem. The foxglove reseeds and is a biannual. The delphinium justs sends up new shoots
12:38 pm
FMitch
Mum has a wonderful show of lilies and nerrines
12:39 pm
rubyfoo
maybe I should try again as delphinium is one of my most faves. We also had loosestrife which even spread to the fishpond, but that, too, disappeared
12:39 pm
bichon
I love different kinds of lillies. My Japanese are my favorite. After that the Asiatic. The Oriental seem to have died out, but I love their aroma
12:39 pm
rubyfoo
I don't know nerrines
12:40 pm
FMitch
Oh they are the most delicate beutiful lilly like plants
12:40 pm
rubyfoo
the soil here is very poor and acidic, so maybe that's why some things have disappeared. At least the roses and peonies and cranesbill geranium are really hardy.
12:41 pm
FMitch
Mums are a shocking pink colour
12:41 pm
bichon
Do they need a frost-free winter FMith?
12:41 pm
bichon
We have similar soil Ruby [in CT] Very acidic and heavy
12:41 pm
rubyfoo
I think we are about the same zone as Maryland -> CT
12:41 pm
bichon
I have the cranesbill geraniums too.
12:42 pm
FMitch
No Mum covers them up with a bit of blanket if the winter is going to be harsh and the bulbs just multiply into a huge bed of flowers.
12:42 pm
rubyfoo
here it's acidic and rocky. We're on a hillside that used to have vineyards before it became residential
12:42 pm
bichon
Well, Maryland has frost, but not as hard as here
12:42 pm
crosshair
reading back here this year the pollen is so thick,we scrape it off the car windows each morning
12:43 pm
rubyfoo
hello crossy
12:43 pm
bichon
Ths was the year of monster pollen
12:43 pm
crosshair
howdy ruby et al;))
12:43 pm
rubyfoo
is everybody going to watch France get beaten by Mexico tonight?
12:43 pm
FMitch
lol crossy - I had my car cleaned today and it has gone back to being a green coloured car rather thana a yellow and poopy colored one.
12:44 pm
rubyfoo
I am thinking that the Germans will take it all although I was rooting for Spain until I watched them play!
12:44 pm
crosshair
lol,same all over i guess
12:44 pm
FMitch
No ruby - you can watch the match on my behalf - but what about Spain and Switzerland, who would have thought of that result?
12:44 pm
bichon
It seems like the favorites are having troule this year
12:44 pm
crosshair
wish i could get into soccer,maybe if we gave them all hockey sticks as well to swing around lol
12:45 pm
rubyfoo
amazing! Spain's performance was lackluster, at best
12:45 pm
rubyfoo
it really irritates my husband that I like it so much! And when the Tour starts in July and the two events overlap, he'll go crazy!
12:46 pm
crosshair
and i mean ice hockey sticks,not that euro ladies lawn hockey;))
12:46 pm
crosshair
lol ruby,here the women go crazy as the men are glued to the tv from nov to may
12:47 pm
FMitch
40 weeks of the year I have to concentrate on football (clients) and now when it is down time all there is - is flipping football.
12:47 pm
rubyfoo
I used to live i n NY state where we had a 3rd tier professional hockey team and everybody went to the games (small town) because the winter was so long and miserable
12:47 pm

I am so glad others understand it. I had to turn the air off. Had I known I was waiting for a lane on the pool dack for 30 min, I would have worn better sun protections....SPF 15 is not enough.

I use 30 or 45, btu for swimming, I tend to just go with the 15. but for sunbathing, which I dont do, I should have had like SPF 200000, or errr clothing.

2 second attention span
6:02 pm

6:04 pm
jacq
it's the diver lol
6:04 pm

Nancy Boy

I did wonder, M9, but he's got a bit of a soft spot for me, and doesn't exactly approve of Leo's cheating on me. So, I'm really excited...this is gonna be fun ;)
6:13 pm
m9f9l
He says Alestorm's version is the best he's heard (on youtube)
6:13 pm

6:14 pm
jacq
he doesn't deserve you
6:14 pm
Nancy Boy
oh dear Jac, where have you been? ;) yeah, I was pretty upset, but...he's been such a gigantic git these past few days, he's actually made it very easy for me to leave.

6:28 pm
stidmama
well if he has ADORABLE kitties then I must approve I suppose!
6:28 pm
Nancy Boy
well Jac, we've argued so much this week, and there was a very unpleasant incident last night (I won't get into it here - NSFW!) so I just left a note saying I'd moved out. simple!
6:28 pm
m9f9l
Barb... go to a mo******r if you need help with an argument.
6:28 pm
jacq
best way NB, especially if he's being a kn*b
6:29 pm
Nancy Boy

6:29 pm
m9f9l

6:29 pm
stidmama

6:29 pm
m9f9l

6:29 pm
m9f9l
I think it's kind of like a stick shift..
6:30 pm
Nancy Boy
Well, one word that the 'Mercans don't seem to have is w*nker...is this true?!
6:30 pm

6:33 pm
m9f9l
Barb... did the last clue help?
6:33 pm
Barb's Horses

6:34 pm
m9f9l
doesn't bother me at all to see it not bleeped out as it has no connotations for me.
6:34 pm
Barb's Horses
think I missed it...but finally going back and forth I got it
6:35 pm
m9f9l

my cat is pooping throughout the house and not in the litter box :(
6:40 pm
Barb's Horses
thought I tried the lottery one before and it said not there...I hate when it does that
6:40 pm
jacq
sounds like stress or illness peri, has anything changed?
6:41 pm
m9f9l
I think sometimes I just type too fast..and think I tried something..but didn't get it in there.
6:41 pm
Barb's Horses
is it mad at you for something? another animal in the house...you have been gone too much? maybe it isn't well and it is trying to tell you so? any of those ideas help?
6:41 pm
m9f9l
is the litter box getting cleaned out enough?
6:41 pm
periwinkle
no. took her to the vet last week and he told me she has a UTI. I knew that. and she wont take the meds. wonder if something else is going on that wouold cause this behavior
6:42 pm
Barb's Horses
one of mine keeps throwing up after it eats about every other day...happens again we are off to the vet
6:42 pm
periwinkle
I scoope out the box 2-3 times a day and then wash iit out once a month.
6:42 pm
m9f9l
maybe the infection is making it difficult to get over the rim..
6:42 pm
periwinkle
I cannot type tonight
6:42 pm
periwinkle
could be m9
6:42 pm
m9f9l
if her underside is tender..
6:43 pm
m9f9l
try a ramp?
6:43 pm
jacq
could it be that the urine is stronger because of the uti and it's putting the cat off? try cleaning it every day
6:43 pm
Barb's Horses
if she has meds try mixing it with tuna juice...I know we are suppose to give cats real tuna and stuff but it really helped when one of mine was sick....it even came and asked for its meds
6:43 pm
periwinkle
it does not appear to be tender
6:43 pm
periwinkle
she pees in the box
6:44 pm
m9f9l
oh!..diarrhea?? meds sometimes do that
6:44 pm
Barb's Horses
it is a she yes? cause males have alot of pain usually with a uti and can block...where females are just uncomfortable
6:44 pm
periwinkle
thre is another cat in the house but he was here when we moved in last June and this behavior started about two weeks ago
6:44 pm
periwinkle
my cat is female, Zoe-Anne
6:45 pm
Barb's Horses
then it can't be because of the other cat or at least I doubt it or it would have happened right away
6:45 pm
periwinkle
no diarrhea here, thank goodness
6:45 pm
m9f9l
did it start about the same time you started playing babble???
6:45 pm

6:47 pm
Barb's Horses
are the meds liquid or pills?
6:47 pm

6:47 pm

ty m9, i had one of those but not the past tense one lol
6:48 pm
Barb's Horses
Peri???
6:48 pm
periwinkle
pills and I crush them up. she can smell them. sometimes I can get her to eat 1/4 or 1/2 of a crushed pill in her food and sometimes not
6:49 pm
Barb's Horses
I know it is more money but can the vet give you liquid instead...then try the tuna water
6:49 pm
periwinkle
but I can't have not eating so I did not try to give any meds today
6:50 pm
m9f9l
or put some of the tuna water on the food to stink it up more
6:50 pm
periwinkle
don't know if it comes liquid, I could mix in in water and then try a syringe. had a syringe but threw it away
6:50 pm
m9f9l
pets respond very well to homeopathy.. I'd try that!
6:50 pm
periwinkle
she loves tuna and shrimp cat food, it is very strong
6:50 pm
Barb's Horses
do you know how to give the pills by mouth...pushing it down the side of the mouth and into the throat
6:50 pm
periwinkle
ah, homeopathy, maybe, that is a thought
6:51 pm
periwinkle
no cannot give pills by mouth and she is 14 too old
6:51 pm
Barb's Horses
tuna can be a problem for some cats and can actually cause the uti's....
6:51 pm
m9f9l
look up uti's at abchomeopathy.com
6:51 pm
periwinkle
can tuna cat food cause that problem as well
6:52 pm
periwinkle
will do m9, bbs
6:52 pm
Barb's Horses
I would call your vet and let them know the trouble you are having getting the meds in...see if you can get a liquid form...it is much easier when they just like it up
6:52 pm
periwinkle
ok, thaks for all the advice, bbs
6:52 pm
Barb's Horses
yes canned tuna of any kind is usually high in ash and magnesium...this causes crystals in the urine causing a uti
6:53 pm
Barb's Horses
welcome peri I hope it all works out
6:53 pm
m9f9l
I did not know that! that tuna is high in uric acid!
6:53 pm
m9f9l
I was just googling it.
6:54 pm
Barb's Horses
it doesn't seem to effect us so much but plays H*ll with cats
6:55 pm
Barb's Horses
I lost several male cats to it years back ..then learned from a smart vet that it was the tuna causing the problem
6:55 pm
Barb's Horses
now most vets know all about crystals and things and how they are caused
6:56 pm
Barb's Horses
actually can't imagine a vet not knowing today if I think about it

so..he has to lay low til then?!?!??
7:36 pm
Riverdance
so my sons baseball team had a game tonight - husband went and dropped him off so he could sit on bench and cheer on his team. I started supper and then went to watch game - there is my son warming up a new pitcher, chasing balls, etc, etc.... ugh - it is going to be so hard to keep him down the next 3 weeks
7:36 pm
Riverdance
absolutely no physical activity - yah right!
7:37 pm
m9f9l
did you clue in the coach?? coach should have put a stop to that
7:38 pm
Riverdance
oh he knows but not much he can do when he is coaching his team - especially when third base coach - its not up to him - husband should not have left him to his own choices - he is a 13 year old active boy
7:39 pm
m9f9l
pshaw! If someone told me a kid on my team was not allowed to do anything physical and I saw him up and active... I'd tell him I'd banish him from the field unless he sat down!
7:39 pm
Riverdance
I talked to the coach after the game - he saw him and almost choked but he was too far away to do anything about it until he came off the base - by then I had already yelled to stop
7:39 pm
bichon
yike, that's the first available. I'd be an obnoxious Mom
7:39 pm
m9f9l
hmmm... well....ok..
7:40 pm
Riverdance
well coach told Keith tonight that he will make him a third base coach if he want to do it for the rest of the season
7:40 pm
m9f9l
I think a kid's prob like that would preempt coaching the base at that moment..
7:41 pm
Riverdance
it keeps him in the game and doing nothingphysically but standing there
7:41 pm
wht
Measure of diamonds
7:41 pm
m9f9l
that's a good idea
7:41 pm
Riverdance
u13 baberuth is serious baseball - I do NOT expect the coach to babysit my son if I choose to bring him there
7:42 pm
Riverdance
its my husband that should be spanked
7:42 pm
Riverdance
we cant leave him and expect him to sit still
7:42 pm
m9f9l
ack on this sn!!!!!
7:43 pm
m9f9l
I have these sn's: cut, and look through people's stuff. what am I missing?

Would anyone ca4/5 to read a story of clues?Here it is.I did something this ye4/6 I thought I would never do. I didn't ca 4/5 for my hair style so on one su5/16 day I got a hair cut. At first I didn't da4/5 to cut my hair.It had taken me so long to grow it out.However in the end I da4/5ed to the local salon before I could change my mind.I went to the salon in my ar4/4. As I was waiting at the salon,I re4/5 a magazine & found a picture of a hairstyle that I wanted to have.I did a nu 5/16 & spontaneous thing. I got 18 inches of hair sn4/5ed off. It is very ra 4/4 of me to do something so spontaneous like that. I was on pi4/5 and needles at the salon as they were chopping off my hair. Then my eyes te5/12 up & I started shedding te4/4 in the salon because I regretted what I'd done.I hated it! I wanted to retr 5/12 my steps from before as if I had never gone to the salon. I ra4/5ed home to show my husband. My de 4/5 husband loved the new look. He stated that he would ra4/4 my haircut a 10 and that it su4/5ed me very well. Now my hair no longer looks so ra5/14.People ask if I feel like a different person. I say that I'm the same person mi 5/14 all the hair. I am still not sure if I like my new look.But it's a mu4/6 point because it's already done. Maybe I will grow it out and then I can re 4/5 my hair again. I wish that I could be atr6/21 and tr5/12 my hair in for Jennifer Lopez's hair. I'm going to get off my re4/4 to let dog out.Husband wants the computer,but I do not give a do4/5, he is not getting it. I'll be back in a mi6/24 in full chat and clue mo 4/5 'til I have to go to bed later.
