12:50 am

jillibus

I don't blame you, west -- could you go by train?

12:50 am

westford

12:50 am

westford

12:53 am

westford

they are having their own shower and everything

12:53 am

jillibus

what a treat!

12:54 am

westford

I believe it's $3K round trip for both of them and meals are included

12:55 am

jillibus

much cheaper than a cruise

12:55 am

westford

now if there is an internet connection I'd be golden

12:55 am

rururocks

I'll bet anything a private shower on the train isn't all it is cracked up to be

12:55 am

westford

I think you might have talked me into it

12:55 am

dart001

thinking I should be getting to bed, but would like to beat this down a bit more

1:38 am

jillibus

I have 72 left now

1:39 am

jillibus

flosey, did you enjoy last night's bridge?

1:39 am

flosey

oh, you must have left for a bit, you were way ahead of me

1:39 am

flosey

oh, jilli, it was so good to be back

1:39 am

jillibus

yes, I did some kitchen cleanup

1:39 am

flosey

I thoroughly enjoy playing with G

1:39 am

flosey

I'm down to 64

1:39 am

jillibus

she is fun, and a good player, isn't she!

1:40 am

flosey

yes, we had a lot of laughs

1:40 am

flosey

she plays a good game but doesn't get upset if things don't go well

1:41 am

jillibus

right -- so I cherish my AH games!

1:42 am

flosey

so glad that you got together for the AH games

1:42 am

jillibus

me too! Lat night I was ready to quit bridge.

1:43 am

flosey

she'll be back with B now that her p has gone south

1:43 am

jillibus

oh, he's gone now, eh?

1:43 am

flosey

I can fully understand that, jilli, I don't know how you've lasted this long

1:44 am

flosey

yes, apparently

1:44 am

jillibus

she's pretty good at the play of the hand.

1:45 am

jillibus

btw, wuld you open in 2nd seat with 11 pts, no aces, no 5-card suit?

1:45 am

flosey

no

1:45 am

jillibus

I didn't, and got blasted.

1:46 am

flosey

but, if it was the other way around, I wonder!

1:46 am

jillibus

but someone else did -- we passed out and got a zewro

1:46 am

flosey

too often, it's just the way her hand fits

1:46 am

jillibus

a zero even

1:46 am

flosey

well, wasn't me!

1:47 am

flosey

thought you were being cute!

1:47 am

jillibus

cute?

1:48 am

flosey

zewro

1:48 am

jillibus

oh, I see -- lol!

1:49 am

flosey

she really does overdo that 'iron duchess' thing a bit

1:50 am

flosey

in that particular suit, if I remember correctly, I could have gone thru a few times!

1:50 am

jillibus

It's automatic, like a lot of her conversaton these days.

1:51 am

flosey

yes, tiresome

1:52 am

flosey

next time, I think I'll say ho hum!

1:52 am

jillibus

I guess that's because she's old and has resisted change.

1:52 am

flosey

lol, do you think?

1:53 am

jillibus

I do, and feel a bit sorry for her. She has a tender heart away from the bridge table.

1:54 am

flosey

she just passed 90, didn't she?

1:54 am

jillibus

no -- 85.

1:55 am

jillibus

But I think she stopoped learning things 40 years ago.

1:55 am

flosey

oops! sorry I! but yes, she can be very pleasant otherwise

1:55 am

jillibus

stopped

1:56 am

flosey

fingers getting tired?

1:56 am

jillibus

Head too, lol!

1:56 am

flosey

me too, feels like a block of soggy sawdust

1:56 am

flosey

exercise class ltomorrow

1:57 am

jillibus

I now have 67 left and can't see any more.

1:57 am

jillibus

I hope the exercise classes are not as exhausting as the aquafit ones.

1:57 am

flosey

I'm still at 64

1:58 am

flosey

no, and she says just don't do anything that's uncomfortable

1:58 am

jillibus

66

1:58 am

flosey

she does a lot of repetitions, which are good, I just don't do as many

1:59 am

jillibus

sounds good.

1:59 am

flosey

2:41 am

sprite

morning all, and a very happy birthday, lyn!

2:43 am

Haz1558

Good morning, sprite. And yes, happy birthday to lynxxx.

2:43 am

sprite

hi Haz, how are you today?

2:44 am

Haz1558

I'm well, although the weather is drippy again.

2:45 am

sprite

sliding into autumn again, it is the same here. Trees are slow with turning colour though.

2:46 am

Haz1558

Yes, just some of them starting to hint at change. We've had no frosts or anything so far.

2:47 am

sprite

we neither, though it has been very close. Won't be long!

2:47 am

Haz1558

I know. I do like autumn as a season, but don't relish the prospect of putting the summer clothes away and bringing out the woollies.

2:50 am

sprite

I agree. But the colours and the smells of autumn make up for it, for me anyway.

2:50 am

FMitch

Morning Haz and spritey sprite and Happy Birthday to lynxxx.
We are having a 'summer' day today 23 degrees!

2:50 am

sprite

morning FM :)

2:50 am

Haz1558

Every season has its pleasures, though when winter is cold and damp it's hard to see the bright side.

2:51 am

Haz1558

Good morning, FM.

2:51 am

FMitch

Autumn can be glorious but I detest the short days in winter.

2:52 am

sprite

the stark silhouettes of the naked trees against the sky, Haz? Cozying up inside when it is really bad outside, with a hot cup of tea and a blanket?

2:52 am

Haz1558

I know, you end up craving light. I'm not so bad because I can get out during the day, but for people who work, they go off in the morning in the dark and come home at night in the dark. That can't be good for you.

2:53 am

sprite

it is a known cause for depression. Offices and other work places should have daylight lamps.

2:53 am

rubyfoo

good morning everybody

2:53 am

Haz1558

Good morning, ruby.

2:54 am

FMitch

Morning ruby.

2:54 am

sprite

morning rubyfoo

2:55 am

sprite

hubby's birthday is coming up soon, rubyfoo, I see... how are the preparations going?

2:56 am

rubyfoo

good morning ladies. I agree about the shortening days. It is very noticeable as we're so far north (like you all! It is much less dramatic on the east coast of the US.

2:57 am

rubyfoo

I found him fossils and a guide to fossils (in French), so he'll be happy. And an old colleague of his from SA is here visiting, so that's a good thing

2:57 am

3:41 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Andree! Just come in and I have a Mac (well I have 2, plus we have 2 iPhones and an iPad!!!). Can I help.

3:41 am

sprite

hi Sally :)

3:41 am

Haz1558

Sally is trying for instant hero status.

3:42 am

lynxxx

You should be able to change where the logos sit (menu bar) through the System Preferences. Font size change in View

3:42 am

Sally-catlover

Once a hero, always ...

3:42 am

lynxxx

hi Sally

3:42 am

sprite

and succeeding brilliantly

3:43 am

Vmachine

wow i can actually find qu words when im tired as heck lol

3:43 am

sprite

Andree is so deep into finding a solution that she doesn't see Sally!

3:43 am

Sally-catlover

Lynxxx is a Mac user as well presumably, so between us we should be able to sort you out.

3:43 am

sprite

hi Vmachine, good for you

3:43 am

Sally-catlover

Always invisible, that's me.

If you want to take this to email I'll give you an email you can use.

3:52 am

Vmachine

i love when the good guy creams the bad lol

3:53 am

Sally-catlover

I take it you haven't had a Mac before?

3:54 am

Sally-catlover

There's a very good support page for new Mac users who have come from Windows, you can get it from the Apple pages. Would be a different link from here, so you will have to search for it yourself!

3:56 am

sprite

a canoe friend of my husbands just told us yesterday he brought his windows computer to the store, told them to put everything on it on the Apple he was buying, and otherwise he wouldn't buy the apple.

3:56 am

Andree

sally i am just going tophone apple, the support is free and i should be able to fix the problem easily, thx for the help everyone

3:56 am

sprite

good luck Andree

3:57 am

Andree

that was smart sprite, the thought of tackling all my photos and emails on old laptop is daunting

3:57 am

Sally-catlover

OK Andree, but there is an email address in my profile you can use - it's a throwaway one which I will throw if it gets spammed. I do check it about once a day, so feel free to email me which would would be easier than helping here.

3:57 am

sprite

yes, they did it for 30 or 50 euro, so not too expensive

3:58 am

Sally-catlover

It is spt at mac dot hush dot com (replace the obvious and remove the spaces).

3:58 am

Andree

thx sally, will do if i don't get onto apple

4:00 am

Sally-catlover

There are little tips I might be able to give you :-) My son has had Macs for years so he was able to get me started.

4:00 am

Vmachine

i just came back to a conversation about mac

4:01 am

Sally-catlover

Are you another Mac user then Vm?

4:01 am

Vmachine

heck no

4:01 am

Vmachine

MACOS is atrocious

4:01 am

Sally-catlover

I am not getting into this conversation, OK.

4:02 am

sprite

Sally, remember this: computers are like aeroplanes. Just never open windows.

4:02 am

Vmachine

lol I dont like windows either lol

4:02 am

Vmachine

Linux, Solaris

4:02 am

Sally-catlover

rofl sprite! Also remember the acronyn GIGO.

4:02 am

Vmachine

Unix Source Shell

4:03 am

sprite

what does it stand for, Sally?

4:04 am

Sally-catlover

Garbage In, Garbage Out. I also like PEBCAK: problem exists between chair and keyboard (think about it!).

4:04 am

Vmachine

ooh i have one

4:04 am

sprite

lolllllll! I like them both!

4:05 am

Vmachine

I'm an IT guy for the army ID10T

4:05 am

Andree

i like them too and feel they relate to me at the moment

4:05 am

Sally-catlover

Well it was obviously not for charm school. Now I will get on with the grid.

4:06 am

sprite

Sally, or the help desk guy that asks the caller: are you sitting behind the computer atm? No? Please do so... thank you... what do you see?
And the caller says: Well, a whole lot of wires and plugs.

4:06 am

Sally-catlover

lol sprite.

4:06 am

Vmachine

sally did you just get an attitude?

4:07 am

Vmachine

@4:05

4:07 am

sprite

lol Andree, if you are an experienced Window user and you change to Apple, it is tough. But you will be fine soon and then you will tell everybody it was the best step you ever took, computerwise

4:07 am

Vmachine

I'm going to argue that

4:07 am

sprite

you would, Vmachine

4:08 am

Vmachine

not out of disrespect for your preferences

4:08 am

Vmachine

but because Mac is not god

4:09 am

sprite

right now Andree needs help for her Mac, Vmachine, and does not need any discussion about the OS.

4:09 am

FishFishGarden

true that

4:09 am

Vmachine

The Mac OS is a modified Unix kernel

4:09 am

FishFishGarden

OS fight!

4:09 am

Vmachine

GO!

4:09 am

Vmachine

and Macs are meant as creative project PC's

4:10 am

FishFishGarden

which is a nive way of saying they're poofy

4:10 am

Vmachine

unlike IBM or Windows which are tailored to be for business

4:10 am

Vmachine

nive?

4:10 am

FishFishGarden

nice....

4:11 am

Vmachine

oooh ok lol

4:11 am

4:30 am

Sally-catlover

And I'm about as far away as you can get in the UK! But we do have a fresh fish stall in the market three days a week.

4:31 am

SaraY

Yes. I think my brain has gone to mush trying to get this last one.

10:39 am

m9f9l

there's only 3 re5's I know for sure you have 2... so it must be the paying bills one

10:41 am

rururocks

cr 6/21 the first cr?

10:42 am

Haz1558

bye haz.. thank you for your help

10:44 am

SaraY

I've got re(shoe laces), re(what the catcher wears minus the last letter), and re(having a look around). That is 3 re's but my Word Stats shows 5 61/62 and the Tile Stats shows R 15/16. Very strange. When I look at my word list the re(having a look around) shows 6,18 but it is definitely only 5 letters.

10:44 am

m9f9l

I always thought it meant more of crude manners

10:44 am

m9f9l

but now that i look at the definition...

10:44 am

m9f9l

interesting.. it's derivation.

10:45 am

m9f9l

first of all hit refresh.. that sometimes clears up discrepencies.

10:49 am

SaraY

Okay, now I have the same situation with the Word Stats (5 61/62) but the Tile Stats now says R 14/16!

10:50 am

m9f9l

hmmm

10:50 am

m9f9l

how many words does it say you have all together?

10:51 am

SaraY

It says I have 175 words with 1 left.

10:51 am

m9f9l

any of the other word stats change??

10:52 am

m9f9l

check the word list and make sure those three are actually registered..

10:52 am

m9f9l

it must not be a 5 word.

10:53 am

m9f9l

or maybe it is...

10:53 am

m9f9l

LOL

10:53 am

ursh

saray - sometimes if you type in words before the word list has fully opened they dont appear on the word list but have in fact registered - try getting the last word and see what happens

10:53 am

crosshair

sweet a qu 8;))

10:53 am

ursh

and hello all

10:53 am

m9f9l

10:56 am

m9f9l

and i wish I COULD steal some of the thunder! I love storms!

10:56 am

SaraY

No, just the tile stats. In the word list there are 3 re5 words but one still shows 6,18. I have just tried to re-enter the 3 re words but it sayd I have already entered them. It is now nearly 2am and I am going to bed. We are going on holidays on Friday until 11 October so happy babbling all and take care. Catch up with you in a couple of weeks.

10:57 am

crosshair

11:45 am

Boobear

hi ruby again

11:46 am

rubyfoo

I am tired of hearing people talk!!!!

11:46 am

jmcnrick

cu4/7 is like the moment before a storm

11:46 am

jmcnrick

dear me ruby you are so hard to please lol!

11:46 am

rubyfoo

that's a funny word, jmc, ty

11:46 am

rubyfoo

11:47 am

jmcnrick

FMitch

Hi ruby and jmc

11:47 am

rubyfoo

I made roast lamb yesterday with boiled potatoes, flageolets and a plum tart and tonight served it cold with hummus, baba ganoush and tzatzki (sp?)

11:48 am

FMitch

oh that sounds good ruby.

11:48 am

jmcnrick

mercury is my second phantom today

11:48 am

Boobear

it sounds wonderful ruby

11:48 am

rubyfoo

I prefer conversation online, like this!

11:48 am

rubyfoo

I prefer conversation online, like this!

11:48 am

jmcnrick

i like both kinds of conversation

11:48 am

rubyfoo

The boys loved it, but since we eat lunch out, I'm not hungry at dinner time

11:49 am

rubyfoo

it depends -- they are talking about the old days in the glass biz and I've heard all the stories too many times

11:49 am

jmcnrick

ah well i can understand that

11:49 am

jmcnrick

but at least you do not have to entertain hubby

11:50 am

rubyfoo

and now there's reblochon and tomme and bordeaux.

11:50 am

FMitch

I remember many very long and happy conversations round the lunch/dinner table that carried on for hours

11:50 am

rubyfoo

yes, I've put away the veils and feathers hahah

11:50 am

FMitch

and the worst thing was to try and move the people to the terrace or sitting room as it would just break up the flow.

11:51 am

jmcnrick

me too when my sister and our husbands and children all laugh and joked and talked for hours

11:51 am

FMitch

happy days :)

11:51 am

jmcnrick

when you move people break off in small groups

11:51 am

rubyfoo

that's true, getting them inside for dinner is always a problem when they're out on the deck looking at the lake

11:51 am

jmcnrick

can you serve dinner on the deck?

11:52 am

FMitch

jmc, caught that posting of the clip re your interview in the papers - was very interesting reading.

11:52 am

jmcnrick

i liked it even though she quoted me with a grammatical error

11:52 am

rubyfoo

yes, I do tuite often, but this was just too many small dishes to carry in and out

11:52 am

FMitch

Not always in the UK but that would be the best place if the weather was good.

11:53 am

rubyfoo

the deck faces south, so it is possible to at least have cocktails outside for about 8 months of the year

11:53 am

jmcnrick

sounds lovely

11:53 am

rubyfoo

did my typo keep me out of the PB?

11:53 am

FMitch

well I didn't spo that jmc, was much more interested in the content.

11:54 am

jmcnrick

i want a deck on the second floor of my house but it would face the north *brrrr*

11:54 am

jmcnrick

no penalty ruby!

11:54 am

FMitch

sure ruby

11:54 am

rubyfoo

this place has a really clement climate, lovely here

11:54 am

jmcnrick

i did find it interesting to consider the question presented

11:55 am

rubyfoo

is jmc the most famous person in babble?

11:55 am

FMitch

It has been glorious here today 24 degrees and I have just finised watering all the pots.

11:56 am

FMitch

jmc is a remarkable woman!

11:56 am

rubyfoo

tomorrow we're having lunch on the Libellule, the Lake Annecy cruise boat. It probably has a website -- very nice place to take visitors

11:56 am

jmcnrick

no JC is more famous and i seem to remember someone else

11:56 am

jmcnrick

a political appointee of some kind

11:57 am

rubyfoo

hint hint for you babblers if you ever come to out-of-the-way Annecy

11:57 am

jmcnrick

[blush]

11:57 am

rubyfoo

don't know JC

11:57 am

rubyfoo

it was a great article, jmc!

11:57 am

FMitch

jmc - I am applauding people (you) who actually make a difference, not entertainers.

11:57 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, boys need me.....

11:57 am

jmcnrick

if I get the job I applied for in Geneva I will definitely drop by

11:57 am

Dorens

11:58 am

FMitch

Dorens!! Hello :)

11:58 am

jmcnrick

well thank you qu*** sincerely FM -- it is amazingly good to hear that

11:58 am

rubyfoo

11:58 am

rubyfoo

hello and bye dorens, must see to the boys!

11:58 am

jmcnrick

work can get tedious and tiring and disappointing even when you think you are making a difference

11:58 am

Dorens

hi fm and everyone else... bye ruby

11:58 am

jmcnrick

will do ruby but must get the job first

11:59 am

jmcnrick

hi dorens

11:59 am

rubyfoo

teachers and activists make the difference

11:59 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

11:59 am

jmcnrick

i am very fond of teachers since my mother and my favorite aunt were both teachers

12:00 pm

FMitch

My Mum was one too and I hated that growing up but my goodness it set me well for the rest of my life.

12:00 pm

FMitch

How are you Dorens and hows was your visit with ruru??

12:00 pm

jmcnrick

i kinda liked it until i had Mother for a teacher

12:01 pm

jmcnrick

it is amazing how many names are "words"

12:01 pm

Dorens

oh the lunch with ruru was truly delightful... He knew exactly what I would like, and ordered the most scrumptious wine, and my 29 y. o daughter came along and they adored each other. He is great!

12:02 pm

Dorens

oh no, you had her in class? that is a nightmare, je

12:02 pm

jmcnrick

so he is as funny and charming in person as on the chog?

12:02 pm

FMitch

Oh brilliant Dorens, is he as lovely as he comes across? *grin*

12:02 pm

jmcnrick

she was teaching the Honors class and she argued it wasn't fair for me to be kept out because she was teaching it

12:02 pm

jmcnrick

and she had her sister as a teacher once too

12:03 pm

Dorens

yes he really is. but no caustic humor, no sarcasm, not even any puns. just nice, funny, charming, interesting, and I wish I were back there now (hence the icon)

12:03 pm

jmcnrick

not a nightmare though odd and several classmates suggested she would treat me better but she was actually very strict with me

12:03 pm

jmcnrick

NO PUNS?!?!?!?!

12:03 pm

FMitch

*sigh* that is a lovely icon.

12:04 pm

jmcnrick

*faints*

12:04 pm

Dorens

maybe they went over my head???

12:04 pm

FMitch

I think he practices before he enters Babble.

12:04 pm

Dorens

it just wasn't like that, you know? a nice, fun time getting to know one another, enjoying good food and wine and sitting in a lovely french bistro by the river

12:05 pm

FMitch

sounds great not that I am jealous or anything being this side of the pond *snif*

12:05 pm

Dorens

moms are always more strict in school with their own children... in general i think it best not to work at the same school

12:05 pm

jmcnrick

well he is sometimes faster than I am with them so I think they come naturally

12:05 pm

Dorens

oh fm why don't you come visit us? we could definitely put together a nice little group to meet and greet

12:05 pm

jmcnrick

there there FM

12:05 pm

FMitch

brb just going to change my icon

12:06 pm

jmcnrick

it was fine for us Dorens -- we made an effort not to do anything too embarrassing to each other

12:07 pm

jmcnrick

she taught at the jr and hs with all 5 of her children at one time or another although i was the only one to have her as a teacher

12:07 pm

jmcnrick

happens in small towns all the ti**

12:07 pm

jmcnrick

and I will take your reply in the pb

12:08 pm

Dorens

i work in a small town school and live in an even smaller one... i know how it can be.

12:09 pm

jmcnrick

i can't believe there are 13 Q words!

12:09 pm

jmcnrick

but in our case it was in Houston ISD which is very large of course

12:09 pm

jmcnrick

she, by the way, graduated from the same HS

12:10 pm

bichon

FMitch

12:13 pm

jmcnrick

12:38 pm

Becca Lorum

Hi Eva.

12:39 pm

m9f9l

wow.. thanks becca!!! I think I may just have to go to maryhill for that! hope it's clear tonight!!!

12:39 pm

Becca Lorum

Does letting him watch Pingu while I play Babble count as good parenting?

12:39 pm

howdy eva,big day is fast coming at you:))

12:39 pm

m9f9l

woah.. I had a spelling glitch!lOL

12:39 pm

12:39 pm

We have cloud here- very annoying, hopefully will clear a bit soon as dusk is approaching fast.

12:40 pm

m9f9l

eva! you have time for babble??

12:41 pm

m9f9l

as most don't know.. I will explain. Maryhill is a museum in our neck of the woods.. (and a winery) and nearby is a replica of stonehenge\

12:41 pm

EvaNadine

we are not mentioning the fact that there are a mere 31 days to THE DAY.

12:41 pm

Becca Lorum

Museum and winery - great combination!

12:42 pm

crosshair

31 days...got you man under sedation or he he just in a corner vibrating from nerves?

12:42 pm

EvaNadine

i have just been keeping him too busy to notice.
i, on the other hand, am shaking in the corner, realizing how much is left on our to-do list!

12:43 pm

crosshair

so how many confirmed for the guests?

12:44 pm

Becca Lorum

THat's so exciting Eva. You'll get everything done and have a fab day. Don't worry about it :o)

12:44 pm

EvaNadine

i think we are at about 140. (yes, the list is still in flux!)

12:44 pm

m9f9l

eva... delegate!!!

12:45 pm

m9f9l

(ha ha.. my daughter is 6 months from date..and already feeling huge sense of urgency)

12:45 pm

m9f9l

you registered online??

12:46 pm

EvaNadine

m9 -- i went through phases of "holy crap! not enough time!" and then other phases of "relax, man. plenty of time..."

12:46 pm

EvaNadine

we did 4 registries. all are available online, but we set 3 of them up in the stores.

12:46 pm

m9f9l

you got the shoes... so it's all good...

12:47 pm

m9f9l

probably too personal to put in your profile. hmmm...

12:47 pm

Becca Lorum

If you're there and he's there, that's all that matters; the rest is all decoration.

12:47 pm

Becca Lorum

If you're there and he's there, that's all that matters; the rest is all
decoration.

12:48 pm

m9f9l

That's what my dauhter said... at the beginning of all this..LOL

12:48 pm

EvaNadine

i do agree with that, becca.
but we also plan on throwing one kick-arse party. ;)

12:48 pm

crosshair

there is much to be said for a small service..lol i am so glad ours was low key

12:48 pm

Becca Lorum

Oh yeah, that's what we did too!

12:49 pm

EvaNadine

crossy, my parents had a tiny service with the JOP. dad had a best man because he happened to knock on the door that day!
next year will be their 50th anniversary.

12:49 pm

m9f9l

Tim and I went to the courthouse on our mutual day off from work.LOL

12:49 pm

Becca Lorum

But what I mean is that the party will be great because all your loved ones will be there to celebrate with you and for you and won't really care if the chairs match the napkins. What they care about is you.

12:49 pm

crosshair

all the money we saved from not having a royalty wedding went right to a kick ass honeymoon and stuff for the new place

12:50 pm

crosshair

50th! right on!!

12:50 pm

m9f9l

Aiden's is gonna mainly be the reception, cause the actual marriage will be in the temple.

12:51 pm

12:51 pm

EvaNadine

actually, my "cousin" (aka, distant relative of SOME sort) and her hubby hit their 25th next year, so the plan is for them to come over from the UK and all of them are heading out to vegas to renew their vows. how fun!
so chris + i are inviting ourselves along, since it will be our almost-first anniversary.
1 year, 25 years, 50 years. all together.

12:51 pm

1:30 pm

EvaNadine

Dr Scrabs, is Lidex a good topical steroid?

1:30 pm

westford

not sure I want to spend that much but I know Bose are really good

1:31 pm

Scrabbler

It is one of the more potent topical steroids. Is it for your foot rash?

1:31 pm

m9f9l

now I read some reviews that said they preferred the older version 2's instead of 3's... they are not as small, but they probably cost less...

1:31 pm

m9f9l

oh wait.. it's the 2 I'm looking at.

1:31 pm

EvaNadine

it is. just picked it up a few days ago + using twice a day.

westford, I did the same w/my own children. Every summer was a lesson in something. One year it was marbles. Another year, it rained soooo much, we went into the barn and built a miniature golf course out of a broken bird house, old plumbing pieces, whatever was in there. It turned out to be one of the best.
