I've kind of hit a wall here with 84 to go.

carleekat

hehehe

7:30 am

car.eeyore

Easier said than done carlee...she is Scottish and a child of the depression....very tight with her money. I am thinking Walmart or Target may be a good option for 2 or 3 pairs of shorts.

7:47 am

mrpresident

Good to know! TY Sue!

7:48 am

7:49 am

carleekat

here comes the poo!!!!!!

7:49 am

mrpresident

next thing I know, I am at a fixture as a referee... and who is assessing me (assessors are needed to move us up in football)

7:49 am

car.eeyore

Oh shit....

7:50 am

suefrad625

ty

7:51 am

mrpresident

So I contact my association and explain the situation and question whether Alan is the right person to assess me with P&D still not finalizing the bullshit between me and Daniel (Alan's son)

7:51 am

car.eeyore

It does Sue, but also with an E!

7:52 am

Riverdance

wow mrp - just one more thing to add to your list of poo

7:52 am

carleekat

( something tells me MRP still not done)

7:52 am

mrpresident

they come back and say... hell no! He is not assessing you at this stage as the P&D hasn't worked through the issue (and he is P&D delegate) and promised me that Alan would not be present for the court hearing as his son is involved

7:53 am

carleekat

waiting for the "but"

7:53 am

car.eeyore

Good grief! At least THEY are on your side!

7:54 am

mrpresident

I now get moved to another game without an assessor, and am happy they are supportive of me

7:54 am

carleekat

oh..a happy ending..how cool is that??....is it safe to remove poo suit yet?

7:54 am

car.eeyore

Do these 2 dingles know anything about the other trouble you have had?

7:55 am

mrpresident

no ifs, buts, or maybes.... I would go off my nut and they know it... best of all, I am one of the most requested referees in the whole league

The US, Burma and Liberia are the only countries in the world that have not officially adopted the metric system as the standard of measurement.

8:29 am

uusue2

although she (the cat) also has mastered the art of throwing up in strategic places to express displeasure

8:30 am

Judi

Yuck.

8:30 am

uusue2

crossy, I showed a map of countries that don't use the metric system to my physics for dummies class this spring - I think they are starting to get the idea

8:31 am

mrpresident

well, the US better catch up with the civilized world!

8:31 am

crosshair

we have one cat that does that sue..in the middle of the night she will yark up a nice ole hairball and i generally find it as it is squishing tween my toes when i attempt to go have a pee at 3 am;(

8:31 am

crosshair

it would make life easier for sure

8:31 am

I wish the US would change to the metric system. I find it much easier. It was forced on me when I started silversmithing. Now I love it!

8:34 am

Judi

Noooooo. Maybe if the Brits are willing to give up "stones", "quid", etc.

8:35 am

KenTropic

I'd rather my weight be measured in stones...it just SEEMS smaller...

8:35 am

crosshair

I don't get why the 7 letter versions of the t8 and w8 aren't accepted.

8:52 am

lynxxx

They would end in a Y Molly. Hello all

8:52 am

Haz1558

we8 and te8 are comparative forms of adjectives that ends in y. If you try them, it says that they do not exist in the puzzle - which means that they're in the dictionary.

8:52 am

uusue2

ok, sorry I stepped out for a minute, don't have the 8s at all

8:52 am

herinfernallady

uusue2

9:00 am

MollyL

Ick, frogs and snails. Why do people want to eat slimy things?

9:01 am

lynxxx

you forgot puppy dog tails

9:01 am

MollyL

And okra

9:02 am

uusue2

snails are just an excuse for garlic butter :-) (and after you cook them they are not slimy)

9:02 am

Haz1558

Have you seen the video of a baby trying to eat a cat's tail?

9:05 am

MollyL

I can think of about a hundred better uses for garlic butter than snails.

9:05 am

Haz1558

Isn't it? I kept waiting for it to become more indignant.

9:06 am

lynxxx

what a good cat!

9:06 am

crosshair

did someone say king crab legs with a cauldron of burbling garlic butter?

9:07 am

uusue2

<--- prefers lobster to crab legs but will take either in a pinch :-)

9:07 am

Haz1558

Things might have been different if the baby had been biting instead of chomping with gums.

9:08 am

lynxxx

oops It's late - my pumpkin is waiting. Night all!

9:09 am

uusue2

9:31 am

FMitch

Battling with the grid, seems it didn't take quite a few words this morning that I thought I had put in.

9:32 am

Haz1558

It's frustrating when that happens. Overall it's a pretty reasonable grid.

FMitch

9:32 am

Aloyisius

Aloyisius

We will have problems with those in the future as flood plains and water meadows are being developed for housing.

9:45 am

Aloyisius

9:45 am

Aloyisius

we are idiotically destroying wetlands

10:01 am

carleekat

mrp...if i remember correctly it is what your body makes naturally especially after a turkey dinner...and it works!!!!)

10:01 am

uusue2

mrp, people have different experiences with melatonin - it did nothing for me but a lot of people swear by it

10:01 am

uusue2

10:01 am

rururocks

that is simply not true mr p

10:01 am

10:04 am

Aloyisius

10:05 am

MollyL

I only know that because we joke about it on Thanksgiving.

10:05 am

MollyL

Isn't melatonin what pigments your skin?

10:05 am

carleekat

ur body still makes it naturally... so you are just boosting its presence

10:05 am

mrpresident

I have great sleeping tablets, but don't want to drug myself before refereeing games. Need a very clear head

10:06 am

mrpresident

10:06 am

carleekat

( that is what I thought molls..but..u can buy this from health food stores..and it DOES work...I myself feel hungover...but if you take about 30 mins before bed and dont engage your brain its lights out)

10:06 am

Aloyisius

and then there were the priest and rabbi who got to talking about indulging in forbidden things - the priest asked the rabbi if he'd tried ham and the rabbi confessed that he had. Then the rabbi asked the priest if he had ever broken his vows of celibacy, and the priest admitted that he had done so. "Better than ham, isn't it?" replied the rabbi.

So Carlee is Kosher. L'chaim!

11:31 am

carleekat

11:32 am

11:34 am

hurshy

i'm pretty sure maple grove farms does NOT do that with their syrup. i visited there several years ago.

11:34 am

jmcnrick

what makes it kosher is that it is prepared under the supervision of a rabbi who certifies it was prepared in accordance with rabbinical laws

11:34 am

carleekat

it has to do with the cleaning of theplant molls..the rabbi inspects it close to passover then all product for a period of time after the "cleaning" is labelled kosher

11:35 am

hurshy

but, i get syrup from my own extended family's farm, so i know it's cool.

11:35 am

jmcnrick

i used to have a conservative jew on my board and had to spend hours making sure everything was kosher

11:35 am

11:35 am

hurshy

the thing that boggles my mind is this - SUGAR FREE SYRUP. i don't understand. all it is is sugar. what are they substituting???

11:35 am

carleekat

that is how I found out....my daughter was doing a project on maple syrup production so i took her to a maple sugar bush and that is when i found out

11:35 am

MollyL

I just could not be that diligent about what I eat. Life is too short to spend so much time being concerned with such things.

11:35 am

jmcnrick

they are substituting the whole thing hursh

11:36 am

hurshy

i know but what i mean is, what is it that they are making it out of

11:36 am

MollyL

Sugar free syrup = artificial maple flavoring + goop

11:36 am

12:17 pm

carleekat

i have been camping with the girls when someone has had an empty candy bar wrapping in a jeans pocket... and a raccoon has litterally torn their tent to get the wrapper

12:18 pm

cybernan

ah -- slang money --got it

12:18 pm

jmcnrick

i went camping with a group of quakers who wanted to save the poor little raccoons in the garbage can

12:18 pm

cybernan

*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help, everyone :)

12:18 pm

jmcnrick

sorry i should have thought of that clue

12:18 pm

MollyL

Nan, you are just too quick.

12:18 pm

jmcnrick

whooo hoooo cyber!

12:19 pm

cybernan

poor little destructive cat murdering racoons?

12:19 pm

carleekat

*~*~*POMPOM TOSS*~*~*for cyber

12:19 pm

uusue2

yay, nan!!!!!!!!!!!!

12:19 pm

jmcnrick

yeap not to mention that their very pissed off parents were nearby

12:20 pm

MollyL

My idea of camping is sleeping with the hotel window open.

12:20 pm

carleekat

my step mum was feeding teh raccoons that came around her place..untl they litterally wore a path in her lawn

12:20 pm

jmcnrick

raccoon parents that is

12:20 pm

carleekat

we did that last year molls... called it urban Camping :)

12:20 pm

jmcnrick

lol molly come stay with me I have no AC!

12:20 pm

cybernan

they killed my cat -- an I certainly wasn't encourageing them to hang around

12:20 pm

jmcnrick

you will feel like you are roughing it in the middle of the city

12:20 pm

uusue2

<--- used to love tent camping but is now too old and creaky to enjoy sleeping on the ground

12:21 pm

MollyL

Holy crap JMC. As hot as it gets around here and you have no AC? Oy!!!

12:21 pm

jmcnrick

i actually took advantage of that fact uu to collect tents for haiti

12:21 pm

jmcnrick

i have ceiling fans

12:21 pm

MollyL

Sue, aerobeds are a beautiful thing.

12:21 pm

carleekat

i have an airmattress...

12:21 pm

jmcnrick

i grew up in Houston before AC

12:22 pm

jmcnrick

there are usually only about 5 hot nights a year around here

12:22 pm

MollyL

My AC was out for a week last summer and my son and I were miserable.

12:22 pm

carleekat

we get about 2- 3 weeks of nights over 80...i dont have a/c either..hate it

12:22 pm

jmcnrick

i have a window unit in my guest room because so many people complained! lol

12:22 pm

uusue2

<--- has tried an air mattress and is not impressed

12:22 pm

cybernan

never did like camping -- couldn't figure out why I should sleep on a hard bed in the damp, accompanied by spiders and lord knows what else to wash dishes in a creek and clothes in a laundromat, when I had a comfortable warm dry bed, a fully equipped kitchen and a washing machine.

12:23 pm

carleekat

when my dxh moved out...an airmatress was all i had for a bed for 2 months

12:23 pm

MollyL

<---- Agrees with every word Nan said.

12:23 pm

jmcnrick

well there are more than 2-3 weeks of nights over 80 here! lol

12:23 pm

jmcnrick

i like sleeping and looking at the stars

12:24 pm

MollyL

HE MOVED OUT AND TOOK THE BED????

12:24 pm

jmcnrick

can't really do that in my bed in the city

12:24 pm

cybernan

I can see the stars out of my window!

12:24 pm

carleekat

( it was bought by insurance for his back injuries molls)

12:24 pm

jmcnrick

*looks for dxh to kick*

12:24 pm

jmcnrick

too much light in the city to see more than a few cyber

12:25 pm

MollyL

Big whoop. If he took it, he should have bought you something to sleep on.

12:25 pm

cybernan

so go for a drive ;)

12:25 pm

carleekat

its ok...i EXPECTED him to take the bed...

12:25 pm

jmcnrick

i still think he is a dick

12:25 pm

carleekat

he did..eventually... its ok :o)

12:25 pm

MollyL

<---- Just fell off chair laughing at Nan

12:25 pm

carleekat

well...he is that...

12:26 pm

carleekat

but not for taking the bed :)

12:26 pm

cybernan

must be off -- still have much to do before my dream holiday -- 2 weeks on a ship where my every whim is catered to -- no cooking, no housework and lots of interesting tours while someone else cleans my room and makes my bed!

12:26 pm

MollyL

Marital property is joint property. If he took the bed, half of which was yours, he should have ponied up for a bed for you.

12:26 pm

uusue2

ooh, nan, sounds wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!

12:27 pm

jmcnrick

sounds lovely cyber! internet access?

12:27 pm

carleekat

he left almost everything else molls.

12:27 pm

MollyL

And you can see the stars Nan. : P

12:27 pm

jmcnrick

actually it is not joint in all states or countries molly

12:27 pm

cybernan

lol - yes!

12:27 pm

cybernan

Stars in Russia, yet

12:27 pm

jmcnrick

well then i approve

12:28 pm

jmcnrick

ooo where is the cruis to?

12:28 pm

jmcnrick

*cruise

12:28 pm

cybernan

It's a river cruise from Moscow to St.Petersburg

12:28 pm

MollyL

Well then, if it's not joint, how does it get divvied up in a divorce? A roulette wheel?

12:28 pm

jmcnrick

WOW quite a long way to go for a cruise

12:29 pm

cybernan

well, we are also spending 3 weeks in the south of England

12:29 pm

uusue2

sounds wonderful, nan! this time of year the nights are rather short there...

12:29 pm

carleekat

a lovely long vacation :)

12:30 pm

uusue2

but Moscow is a fascinating city (haven't been to St Petersburg but friends who have speak well of it)

12:30 pm

cybernan

We should have daylight until 10 or 10:30 pm in St. Petersburg

12:30 pm

jmcnrick

sometimes. states with a hispanic law background all have community property -- joint. not all other states do. they maintain that who bought the property owns it. but there are usually certain claims from the other party

12:30 pm

carleekat

that is about the same here come end of june

12:30 pm

carleekat

sunset is 10 pm sun rise about 4:45

12:30 pm

cybernan

I understand the Moscow is very Russian in flavour, while St.Peterburg is very European -- which makes sense.

12:31 pm

carleekat

ish

12:31 pm

jmcnrick

so in states without community property it is more difficult is the wife never worked--nevertheless there are rules that supposedly leave her with something

12:31 pm

uusue2

I was in a city north of Moscow in late June many years ago - didn't really get dark until midnight. one morning I woke up at 4:30 and the sun was already up!

12:31 pm

jmcnrick

*if

12:31 pm

jmcnrick

yeah that winter sun always sounds difficult

12:32 pm

carleekat

i would love to experience both extremes

12:32 pm

jmcnrick

i mean the summer sun up north--but the longs nights in the winter sound worse

12:32 pm

MollyL

Well it just seems like common decency that if you share a bed with someone and you move out and take the bed, you give them some money to buy another bed.

12:32 pm

jmcnrick

common decency is rarely a factor in a divorce

12:33 pm

carleekat

i was just going to say..who said he was decent?

12:33 pm

uusue2

Molly, I've been divorced three times, and even when it is amicable common decency can be in short supply

12:33 pm

cybernan

I would think that applies to St.Petersburg then, uusue

12:33 pm

cybernan

on my way -- back at the flip :)

12:33 pm

uusue2

it should, nan - I was in Dubna which isn't quite as far north

12:33 pm

uusue2

but it will be fascinating for sure!!

12:34 pm

uusue2

bye for now, nan!

12:35 pm

jmcnrick

bye cyber

12:35 pm

MollyL

I will never understand how people who once promised to love each other forever can treat each other so shabbily when separating.

12:36 pm

carleekat

byebye cyber

12:36 pm

carleekat

opposite sides of the coin molls

12:37 pm

jmcnrick

ooo i think when you break up you have to hate each other or its too hard to break up

12:38 pm

MollyL

I guess I'll just continue to be the lone believer in common decency. Cue up the beat of a different drummer please.

12:38 pm

jmcnrick

*ratatatat*

12:38 pm

carleekat

i try to be decent... but I know in his mind's eye..he thinks I am being the proper royal beeyach....and..that is ok...

12:38 pm

jmcnrick

i remained friends with most of my ex's but i never married them so maybe it doesn't count

12:39 pm

uusue2

not marrying them helps a lot, I think, jmc!

12:39 pm

MollyL

Carlee, we're all bitches when we don't agree or do things their way.

12:39 pm

carleekat

cus most tiems I really dont give a flying fig WHAT he thinks...i keep telling my mother ( who would love to rip him sevral now ones..and then some ) that I have to live with Me when all is said and done

12:40 pm

carleekat

new* ones

12:40 pm

MollyL

She should rip him some new ones and now ones

12:40 pm

carleekat

so...I try to be decent..i try to be pleasant and i dont antagonise ( to the best of my ability..but right now just existing is an antagonizer)

12:40 pm

jmcnrick

*smile* we got it carlee

12:41 pm

carleekat

because I have to live with ME..and I know that if I think i was a proper royal beeyach...i would be disappointed in me

12:41 pm

jmcnrick

*polishes a halo for carlee*

12:41 pm

carleekat

no..not a halo...trust me

12:42 pm

jmcnrick

sure a halo

12:42 pm

uusue2

I'm with you, carlee - my second ex was wretched, and did some really mean things, but I did not respond in kind - much better in the long run both for me and for my son.

12:42 pm

carleekat

i did my fair share of destroying our relationship...

12:42 pm

jmcnrick

anyone want to help me get to nbt before i actually work?

12:42 pm

uusue2

what do you need, jmc?

12:42 pm

jmcnrick

I need the stats for the Y and the A and O in the right corner

12:43 pm

12:43 pm

uusue2

uusue2

I'll refrain from giving the o stats :-)

12:45 pm

MollyL

Now, everyone join in a chorus of "My Give A Damn's Busted" : P

12:45 pm

carleekat

12:46 pm

uusue2

12:48 pm

No joke, it's a great song about breaking up.

12:49 pm

ne7 = prefix for not old + number after nine + sometimes vowel

1:50 pm

rbud

oops, missed car?! :P

1:51 pm

sprite

good evening all

1:51 pm

rbud

hiya, sprite, long time no see! :)

1:52 pm

sprite

hey rbud, very long! How have you been?

1:52 pm

rbud

oh, about the same as usual. typical spring here, lots of rain and tornado watches.

1:53 pm

sprite

compared to you we have such a quiet country!

1:54 pm

rbud

too much rain, many low parts of roads around here are flooded, some I've never seen blocked in the 20 years I've been here.

1:55 pm

sprite

wow. Not pleasant :(

1:55 pm

rbud

afraid to look under our house, haha, will wait to see if it comes up through the floors. (just kidding)

1:55 pm

sprite

lol

1:57 pm

sprite

I think I'd hate the tornados. To have to be afraid of being hit, eeks.

1:59 pm

rbud

seems worse every year here, I hate them, too. one little town about 10 miles from here was nearly destroyed by one about 10 or 12 years ago, and then had a fire the next year which destroyed half of downtown again. I feel lucky here so far.

2:00 pm

sprite

am grateful we don't have stuff like that here. Rain, yes. But we are used to rain, we don't flood that easily.

2:00 pm

rbud

but don't you have a volcano going on somewhere there right now?

2:01 pm

sprite

lol no, we don't have any volcano here. I think you are thinking of Iceland. Far from here, and not half as bad as last year. Planes are flying again.

2:02 pm

rbud

oh, sorry, shows how close I pay attention, haha!

2:02 pm

sprite

oh I am used to that! People from the US usually consider Europe one country.

2:02 pm

Hi, sprite and rbud!

rbud, I am in Illinois too!

2:04 pm

uusue2

so far no floods or tornadoes here but we've had a lot of rain and some nasty storms

2:04 pm

rbud

I'm about 40 miles upriver from Peoria.

2:06 pm

rbud

same here, tornado-wise, and glad of it. but there's a scare every other day, seems like.

2:07 pm

uusue2

near Princeton? we drove down there a couple of weekends ago

2:07 pm

rbud

hint for the top right A? can't seem to come up with anything for it.

2:23 pm

rbud

ty for the ar5, had to actually do some work for a few minutes (I'm at work right now).

2:24 pm

rbud

lots of Illinoisans here, cool! Yes, pretty near Princeton, little burg called Bureau Junction.

2:25 pm

uusue2

oh, I think we drove through there! I took a route that avoided interstates. (I am in DeKalb)

2:26 pm

kimberblue

Champaign-Urbana

2:26 pm

uusue2

ah, the other university town :-)

2:27 pm

2:28 pm

rbud

probably - if you took 29 down the river to Peoria, we're right at the "top" of that where it goes into 4 lanes, take the two lane turnoff and you'd go right by. Motel on the highway called the Ranch House, and a little lake.

2:29 pm

uusue2

oh, I see it! We didn't actually get quite that far south. Maybe next time :-)

2:30 pm

uusue2

(we came into Princeton on US 34 from the northeast)

2:36 pm

rbud

ah, pretty close then.

2:36 pm

Ah the smell of homemade Italian sausage, sweet onions, green pepper and garlic simmering.

jmcnrick

wtg

2:52 pm

redturtlehead

my whole leg is stil numb and has tons and tons of drainage, feel like a puffy puff puff. but, overall all is well. They discovered a tear that the MRI missed, so hopefully my pain will go away...

2:52 pm

jmcnrick

2:53 pm

MollyL

Good to hear you're healing already Red. Don't overdo it. (Said in Mom voice)

2:53 pm

uusue2

I had the outer bursa removed from my left hip several years ago; it was successful in curing the pain although the surgery and recovery weren't a lot of fun

2:53 pm

redturtlehead

Oh no, only doing what they tell me to do. 20 min daily on the bike and some stretches, which I am only half doing.

2:54 pm

redturtlehead

the crutches and the steps to my apartment are torture!

2:54 pm

uusue2

yes, do take care of yourself, and be careful!

2:55 pm

redturtlehead

2:59 pm

uusue2

I imagine you would remember real quick if you try to walk...

uusue2

MollyL

wtg cosd

3:45 pm

jmcnrick

15 minutes until i can leave with a clear conscience to go make supper for my staff

3:45 pm

MollyL

Cute shoes Soodle! I want the ones with the criss-cross ankle straps.

3:46 pm

MollyL

What's for supper JMC?

3:46 pm

welki

*looking at shoes*

3:46 pm

jmcnrick

cheese enchiladas

3:47 pm

jmcnrick

i want the filigree shoes

3:47 pm

welki

i want filigree enchiladas

3:47 pm

jmcnrick

no the heel is too hi for me

3:48 pm

jmcnrick

but the filigree would get stuck in your teeth

3:48 pm

welki

maybe ... but then i'd have shiny teeth, sort of like a grill without the dental work

3:48 pm

jmcnrick

i am thinking about putting the hot salsa on half and the mild salsa on half --the german kid does not do well with spicy

3:49 pm

welki

half and half is a good idea .. spicy folks can always add more sauce if they need it

3:49 pm

jmcnrick

maybe i can find a green salsa and a red salsa and make sure one is hot and one is not so it is easy to tell

3:49 pm

MollyL

You are very nice to feed your staff. I hope they appreciate that.

3:50 pm

jmcnrick

we have a more or less monthly movie night at my house

3:50 pm

3:50 pm

jmcnrick

poor soodle not even a lunch at a restaurant or pub?

3:50 pm

jmcnrick

3:51 pm

welki

i'm always stuck working and can never make those luncheons

3:51 pm

Soodlebum

(Maybe a couple of 'unofficial liquid lunches')....

3:51 pm

MollyL

Employers who treat their employees well reap lots of benefits. Better to have happy, appreciated employees than ones who feel under valued.

3:51 pm

jmcnrick

bummer! well movie night is after work and then in two weeks we have a weekend in a cabin at an amusement park

3:52 pm

jmcnrick

3:53 pm

MollyL

That looks like a fun place.

3:54 pm

Soodlebum

How right you are. The tiniest bit of appreciation or recognition is repaid 1,000 fold.

3:54 pm

He kept the Caroline Kennedy secret for years.

4:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

4:28 pm

No, he just wrote it for her because he thought she was a cute kid.

4:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh- that's boring.

4:31 pm

Soodlebum

Kap, you old cynic! He is singing I Am I Said right now, and the line about Nobody heard, not even the chair makes perfect sense, in context!

Oh, wow, Moll. Meet your sister!
The eternal optimist..... Things just HAVE to get better, and while we're waiting, keep smiling! (through gritted teeth)

5:37 pm

just keep your head above the water molly. Sometimes all we can do is tread water

5:38 pm

Soodlebum

You are right, Doxy. Specially when you consider the alternative........

5:38 pm

MollyL

I'm told if we live in appreciation for what we have, that vibration attracts more good things. So I'm living in an attitude of gratitude.

That's the best part Wild. I was fortunate to take a small vacation with all my kids last September. It was great to have them all to myself for three days.

5:49 pm

wildcat17

I know :)

5:50 pm

doxy1lover

We were planning a vacation with our kids for next month, it fell apart due to life taking over. We are now going to try for August

I was completely gorked out on meds.

7:29 pm

7:29 pm

redturtlehead

Nope, but I was not really comfy. that was the before shot, actually.

7:30 pm

lbdawger

did all go as planned?

7:31 pm

redturtlehead

I believe so. Actually went very smoothly. Only problem I have now is that my left thigh is swollen to Elephantine size...

7:31 pm

redturtlehead

they did find damage that was not indicated on the MRI so that got repaired as well.

7:32 pm

lbdawger

is the swelling a side effect of the surgery?

7:33 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, they wash out the joint, and he apparently chooses not to have a thrid suction puncture...I would have preferred a third puncture to this, but it is draining out slowly.

7:34 pm
