we have a great local store that does 90 days same as cash, and they actually extend it 4 months, not just 90... that was a nice little bonus

heat isn't bad...but AC has been on constant for 2 mths....up to about 26 days over 100 degrees now...and the rest of the week will be too...just got a 330 dollar electric bill for last mth ouch
12:54 am
dart001

isn't bad for the bed
12:54 am
VolleymomDee

ours hit over 400 (partially because the 1st capacitor that was installed in a/c was the wrong size, so it was working over time)
12:55 am

good to know
12:55 am

I hate buying mattresses

water bill will be in same neighborhood when it comes
12:56 am

one great thing today though - had the best deliverymen I have ever seen - they moved the old chairs and ottoman into the basement, placed them, and then moved the new ones into the hearth room... could not believe how nice and efficient they were
12:56 am
VolleymomDee

we are lucky not to have a water bill...it would be absurd
12:57 am

1:00 am

our landlord gave us a choice.. 10.00 extra on rent for water or the water co bills us direct. we chose the former
1:01 am
VolleymomDee

do you irrigate your lawn and is that also part of your water bill
1:01 am
VolleymomDee

smart cos
1:01 am

oh -- if you're renting you sometimes don't have to pay the water cost?
1:01 am

a lot cheaper :)
1:02 am
dart001

we have a irrig. system...and an HOA....so we have to keep it looking somewhat nice
1:02 am

depends on which complex u rent from jill
1:02 am
jillibus

but dee -- you're not renting, are you?
1:02 am
VolleymomDee

no, jili... we were discussing water bills; we have a well here, so we don't have a water bill
1:02 am
dart001

some neighbors have their own wells....so their costs are lower
1:03 am
VolleymomDee

just a huge electric bill for a/c, irrigation, etc.
1:03 am

a lot of houses near me have signs that say "well water do not drink" on their yards

we are hoping the bill will reduce now that the a/c has been serviced and repaired

we don't get good enough sun here in the winter, so few people around here have solar
1:14 am
rururocks

it will be worth it.. we have two airconditioners and two wine cellars.. it's too much power
1:14 am
VolleymomDee

geothermal is most popular here
1:14 am

all of the sun here this year would have worked great...wonder how it survives big hail?
1:15 am

we ain't lacking for sun here

no solar for those of us on the wet coast

1:20 am

amazing
1:20 am
VolleymomDee

why is asian market so cheap
1:21 am
rururocks

no.. they (the asian market) are paying top dollar and it's hard to make profits when they are buying up almost anything of value
1:22 am
VolleymomDee

aw gotcha
1:22 am
rururocks

my greatest story was I bought a case of wine for $6,300 and the guy I bought it from two months later offered me double to buy it back
1:23 am

that is funny
1:24 am
rururocks

it was hysterical

3:24 am
rbud

took Mom for another apptment to sort out her medical stuff, the lady suggested a change to another insurance company for her meds, will save her a good bit of money - and all she could say was "well, it's so confusing!!" and fuss that she "just got her medical card in the mail and now it's no good?" over and over... sigh...
3:25 am
rubyfoo

how old is she?
3:25 am
rbud

it really wasn't confusing at all, she's just being silly.
3:25 am
rbud

82 - but really it's quite simple, she just resists change.
3:26 am

I'm confused - you can have 2 health insurance companies?
3:26 am
lynxxx

Hello to you both
3:26 am
rubyfoo

hello lynxx
3:26 am
rbud

she resents having to stop going to a neighborhood pharmacy, when they're charging her 3 times what another one would.
3:27 am
Christine

Can she get her prescription refilled by mauil?
3:27 am
rbud

She's on Medicare, but they have to sort out a provider for medications on their own, and the one she had just went out of business.
3:28 am
rubyfoo

hello christine
3:28 am
rbud

Oh, it's not far away, and she can get it for 6 months at a time, and only have to go twice a year, but she fusses anyway, over every little change.
3:29 am
Christine

That's a shame. But she probably feels comfortable, going to neighbourhood businesses, esppecially if she's lived in the area for a long time.
3:29 am
rbud

the poor lady who was filling out stuff for her was a bit exasperated, but she handled her well. Used to older folks, I guess.
3:29 am

Hello Rubyfoo and everyone. And thanks to someone for the LE7 clue.
3:29 am

hi Christine
3:30 am

hi, dear
3:30 am

The neighborhood pharmacy is run by an old boy who's had a stroke and likely won't be in business much longer, so not much choice, anyway.

You do get settled into your own 'groove' as you get older, I can appreciate that

Mom's funny, doesn't want to be a bother, even though I insist she's not. she acts like it's a huge trip for me to come to town for her, and it's only 7 miles.
3:32 am
Christine

There's that rude word we none of us use ( and I guess we don't enter it into the slot).
3:33 am
rubyfoo

<-- once called a MALE boss that. He was totally shocked, but deserved it. I think it's the only time I've said the word
3:33 am
rubyfoo

uh oh, husband's lurking
3:33 am
Christine

and the second part of your phantom is there.
3:33 am
rbud

last year it cost her almost $400 for a battery for her car, because she called and had it towed, then had them buy it an put it in... would have been about $60 if she'd just picked up the phone and called us. sigh...
3:34 am
lynxxx

how naughty Ruby (and that is a phantom)
3:36 am
rbud

my husband's a mechanic! "didn't want to bother you, you're so busy"... he's on disability and doesn't work, and I work only half time. how busy can we be, lol
3:37 am
rbud

well, I've whined enough, anyone want a clue for anything?
3:39 am
rbud

oh, torch lighting, how nice!
3:39 am
lynxxx

the torch at the end is pretty amazing
3:40 am
lynxxx

or is that the cauldron rather than torch
3:41 am
Christine

But poor old Paul McCarney's voice? And Muhummad Ali - I think they shouldn't expose hime that way. He looked like he had no idea what he was supposed to do with the flag.
3:42 am
rbud

oooohhh, wow! nice!
3:42 am
Christine

I think it would've been impossible to beat, or even match, Beijing. I guess we did pretty well,
3:43 am
rbud

the poor Queen looks tired, I thought.
3:43 am
lynxxx

Not sure Christine..McC warmed up at the end..but perhaps the sound mixing (or whatever they call it) was off at the start - something was wrong there
3:43 am
Christine

Yes, and my neighbour is convinced the Queen jumped from the helocopter.
3:43 am
Haz1558

Good morning/evening all. I'm interested to hear the opinions of the opening ceremony. I watched it last night before going to bed. For the most part I thoroughly enjoyed it but Sir Paul's voice isn't what it was.
3:44 am
lynxxx

Hi Haz
3:44 am
Christine

The Parade of Nations always makes me feel a bit weepy.
3:44 am
lynxxx

I thought it was all pretty amazing - nice to see something so different
3:44 am
rbud

oh, here's Paul... He looks good, anyway
3:44 am
Haz1558

I wondered how well some aspects of the history etc would translate for other nations but in the end everybody was having a ball.
3:45 am
Haz1558

And I even laughed at Mr Bean, so that's saying something.
3:45 am
lynxxx

although 'Mr Bean' seemed to get a v. large bit (don't like that character)
3:45 am
lynxxx

snap!
3:46 am
Haz1558

I normally can't stand the character, so self-absorbed etc, but it seemed to work last night.
3:46 am
Christine

Oh, he's such a fool, isn't he. Thhinking about him, makes me giggle.
3:46 am
lynxxx

The stage bits were amazing - the hill, the chimneys!
3:46 am
Haz1558

I know, I have no idea how on earth you'd even begin to work out the staging.
3:46 am
rubyfoo

I'm sorry I missed it. Husband's gone, actually had the nerve to invade my space! hahah
3:47 am
rbud

Oh, those winged bicyclers were really something!
3:47 am
Christine

I loved the cycling doves, and the torch/cauldron at the end - having the young athletes take over.
3:47 am
Haz1558

Yes, I really liked the symbolism of the older athletes passing on the torch to the new generation - and that cauldron is spectacular.
3:52 am
lynxxx

no new pup yet Haz?
3:52 am
Haz1558

Not yet, but I've been in discussion with Spangle's breeder.
3:53 am
Haz1558

He's hoping to have a litter which would be due to go to new homes in February/March time.
3:53 am
lynxxx

I thought you were thinking of another type of spaniel?
3:54 am
rubyfoo

48 and poof
3:54 am
Haz1558

Yes, I was, but hadn't realised that the Welshie breeder was still on the go. I think husband would be more reconciled if we went down the route of the Welsh.
3:56 am
lynxxx

That would be a nice start to the New Year. He is still a wee bit upset then - what a lovely man you have
3:57 am
Haz1558

He is a lovely man, absolutely. He just found it so difficult to see Spangle go, but I know he'll enjoy a new pup.
3:58 am
Haz1558

I need a dog again. It's either a dog or a treadmill because I'm putting on weight thanks to fewer walks.
3:58 am
lynxxx

as you will I am sure - it is very quiet when there is no dog around
3:59 am
Haz1558

I know I could walk without a dog but it's so much more interesting with one.
3:59 am
lynxxx

a treadmill def won't be as loving or grateful for a walk
3:59 am
Haz1558

I know!
4:01 am
lynxxx

How are your gorgeous girls?
4:02 am
Haz1558

The older one is coming up on her first wedding anniversary would you believe? The younger one is still at home, commuting to work every day. She decided to abandon the platinum blonde look and now I have a double take at the auburn girl in the room.
4:02 am
Christine

Ladies, I need to be up and pout of here, in just under seven hours, so I bid you goodnight, sweet dreams/great day. and ***poof***
4:02 am
Haz1558

Bye, Christine.
4:03 am
lynxxx

bye Christine
4:04 am
Haz1558

It was quite funny. She had intended to go a more honey shade of blonde, a la Jennifer Aniston, but all did not go according to plan. I kept getting anguished phone calls from the hairdresser to the point where I wondered if she was going to have any hair left.
4:04 am
lynxxx

Just look on her as the new lodger (do you have lodgers in Ireland? or is it just a UK thing)
4:05 am
Haz1558

Yes, lodgers can be a feature although maybe more so in university settings.
4:05 am
Haz1558

Anyway, she arrived home with auburn hair - it quite suits her skin tone etc but I still can't quite get used to it. She was initially very unhappy but cheered right up when work colleagues told her it was sophisticated.

5:59 am
crosshair

200-250 is best
5:59 am
rubyfoo

the big ones, with all their builders, are more fun for me
6:00 am
crosshair

anything over that and it is just typing endurance
6:00 am
rubyfoo

maybe tomorrow
6:00 am
rubyfoo

or time stretching
6:00 am
crosshair

yes..french ice cream is in here
6:00 am
crosshair

sort of
6:01 am
rubyfoo

fr ice cream is poop!
6:02 am
crosshair

that is sad..crossy sends ruby some of his famous maple walnut ice cream
6:02 am
rubyfoo

omg, I would gain kgs with that
6:03 am
rubyfoo

I "get by" with local carmael or coffee, but it's mostly too sweet
6:03 am
crosshair

you are a twig anyways
6:03 am
rubyfoo

not if I ate crossy's ice cream or sprite's cookies
6:03 am
crosshair

then i would make you a nice ice,a lemon or orange sherbert perhaps
6:04 am
rubyfoo

you could probably make blackberry sherbet from my berries, but I don't know how
6:04 am
crosshair

or tiger tail= orange ice cream with black licorice swils
6:04 am
rubyfoo

I'm a good jelly-maker or jam from the simple fruit
6:04 am
rubyfoo

eeew
6:05 am
crosshair

omg,i would kill for some home made gooseberrty jam
6:05 am
rubyfoo

sounds pretty but not my cup of absinthe
6:05 am
rubyfoo

if you happen to be in Europe, I'll make you pech, blackberry and currant jelly, and, maybe, apple something or other
6:06 am
rubyfoo

or even peach*
6:06 am
crosshair

we have one of the few outlets in ontario that sell the real absinthe btw...mmmm wormwood
6:06 am
rubyfoo

the last time I passed out cold from drinking (???) was from absinthe
6:06 am
crosshair

75 dollars for a 26 oz bottle!
6:06 am
rubyfoo

it is delicious
6:07 am
rubyfoo

worth it!
6:07 am
rubyfoo

but too dangerous
6:07 am
crosshair

bars limit sale(if they have it) to two drinks per customer
6:07 am
rubyfoo

3 did me in!
6:08 am
crosshair

i like it traditional,sieved though a sugar cube into hal a glass of branch water,then the cube is fired and carmelized and dumped in the glass
6:08 am
crosshair

6:09 am

6:10 am
crosshair

oh how is puppy?
6:11 am
rubyfoo

puppy is enormous, must be about 50 lbs. but is the smartest, most affectionate, of my six chows. Sadly, Madame Ruby is in sharp decline.
6:11 am
crosshair

aww,that who i meant,the one on heart meds
6:11 am
rubyfoo

She is taking heqart meds, gets her nightly one-hour deep massage, but is breathing too hard. Vet is coming next week
6:12 am
crosshair

;(((
6:12 am
rubyfoo

it is unbearably sad for me as she is the one who owns my heart.
6:12 am
crosshair

i did not know you had 6 chows,thought it was just 2
6:12 am
rubyfoo

and here she comes, wants to be near me in the studio
6:13 am
rubyfoo

2 at a time, 6 since 1990 (several untimely deaths as they are very fragile)
6:13 am
rubyfoo

I couldn't handle 6,; 2 plus husband are about all I can manage
6:14 am
rubyfoo

they are much nicer than he
6:15 am
crosshair

well,like it was told to me ruby,every time you lose a dog a piece of your heart breaks,but then you get a new dog who gives you his or her heart,so you can get rid of that broken bit of human heart and be full again,and this goes on and on till you have shared enough pet love that your heart is now totally doggie/kittie love
6:16 am
rubyfoo

that is so sweet and true, crossy, mine is most of the way full of puppy love
6:16 am
crosshair

put a shock dog collear on hubby to keep him in line
6:16 am
crosshair

it is a good way to explain it to chiuldren who loase a pet also
6:16 am
rubyfoo

I feel sorry for him, but he is really obnovious and is constantly looking for an argument. I guess it's a function of age.....lol
6:17 am
crosshair

mm,i see my typing skills are right up to snuff today:/
6:17 am
rubyfoo

almost as good as mine....lol
6:17 am
crosshair

it often is,my f-i-l was same way
6:17 am
rubyfoo

maybe obnovious is a portmanteau word
6:17 am
crosshair

lol
6:18 am
rubyfoo

for noticeable nastiness
6:18 am
crosshair

6:30 am
BabbleRabble

The oldest man to compete in the Summer Olympic Games was Oscar Swahn of Sweden in shooting (1908, 1912, and 1920). Oscar Swahn became the oldest gold medalist when he won gold at 64 years and 280 days old in 1912, and the oldest medallist when he won silver in 1920 aged 72 years, 281 days old. The oldest woman to compete in the Olympics was British rider Lorna Johnstone, who participated in Equestrian at the 1972 Olympic Games at 70 years old and 5 days.

T-shirt?
10:50 am

perhaps the only good outcome from this catastrophe is that legislators will find some way to limit the sale of assault weapons? or at least take a look at it
10:51 am
rururocks

not in an election year doren
10:51 am
Dorens

congress is an embarassment at this point
10:51 am

Doesn't seem that way Dorens. No one wants to rock the boat right now!
10:51 am
Dorens

no, but give it a few months, ru. No one will now, but later.....?
10:51 am

10:54 am
Dorens

sorry, but the ones who need it most are unlikely to seek it out, even if it is easily available/affordable. Or they won't continue when they don't like what they hear.
10:54 am

yep
10:55 am

that was a horrible, cynical, jaded thing to say. Sorry, I take it back

i find that the kids in my school who need hope the most have parents who are in denial and don't follow through. they might make an appointment (i connect them with affordable places with sliding scales) and they might go once or twice, but then it trails off

granddaughter and her boyfriend are going to Nova Scotia in August..she has a passport, he's waiting for his..too bad we need passports to see our Canadian friends
3:21 pm
Bugsaw

that would have been fun. Perhaps you shud think of coming up for Grant next summer. We have a Youth Musical Theatre school every summer that is just excellent. this year they are putting on Les Mis
3:21 pm
stidmama

I agree, west -- it is a sad state of affairs that the politicians feel we must fragment our world
3:21 pm
stidmama

really??? I wonder if he would qualify... he's almost 18 now.
3:21 pm
Bugsaw

or, better thot, if he wants to apply he could stay here if that helps the cost. I don't know how that works
3:22 pm
Bugsaw

I will check to see exactly what it is called......... bbs
3:23 pm
stidmama

okie dokie
3:23 pm

westford

that is so hopeful bugs
3:26 pm
westford

3:26 pm

wow it's a wonderful program -- Grant would probably do the Jazz program I think. He loves music as much as he loves acting, but musicians tend to be (pun intended) less dramatic to be around
3:27 pm
Kazzer99

I don't think I can do much today but will try
3:27 pm
stidmama

I play on my ipad only a little bit -- generally kazzer I enlarge the grid and add box so it fills the screen and then scroll so I can see the tile stats above the keyboard.
3:27 pm
Bugsaw

hey Kazzer, I have a question for you. As a Terry Pratchett fan, when you see UUSUE's name, what do you think of? (I am wondering if I am the only one)
3:27 pm

3:40 pm
westford

3:40 pm

boysens are rasp/black/logan hybrid which explains why they are sweeter

3:50 pm
crosshair

our corn is ok,but our apple trees are taking a kicking
3:50 pm
stidmama

I am going to try canning some veggies this year, too. I haven't done greenbeans before, but since the freezer will be filled with meat I can't freeze as much produce as I sometimes do
3:50 pm
stidmama

oh that blight is awful.
3:51 pm
Kazzer99

But we got 43 pounds of em which will last a few months
3:51 pm
stidmama

We are rotating our potato beds now - and the tomatoes are in pots this year but I will use the pots for a non-solan plant next year, maybe bush beans
3:51 pm
stidmama

that is a LOT of taters!
3:51 pm
crosshair

as soon as all the fall veggies start pouring itno the stores at good prices,i am gonna give it a go,veggies and pickles in pint jars and small new taters in quart jars

red -- do you know anything about migraines? As in -- mine appear to be triggered right now by this overcast, strange air pressure changes...
4:25 pm
stidmama

I know bright lights trigger them, too (I wear sunglasses almost all the time these days), but is there anything to do to kick myself out of the air pressure trigger?
4:25 pm
stidmama

other than live in a bathosphere, that is.
4:26 pm
redturtlehead

I know a lot of people do get sinus type trouble with air pressure changes.
4:26 pm
redturtlehead

you can't relaly change the air pressure...not even in your home...
4:27 pm
stidmama

hm. and my allergies have been just under the radar. *idea* I could take extra antihistmines, and boost at night with decongestants for a few days and see if that works.
4:27 pm
crosshair

my wifes are triggered by air pressure
4:27 pm
jmcnrick

does elegant know?
4:27 pm
stidmama

red, that may have been the clue I needed. I'll see if controlling the sinus pressure helps.
4:27 pm
stidmama

(((hugs red)))
4:27 pm
crosshair

make sure indoor humidity is optimal and keep nasal and sinuse clear
4:27 pm
jmcnrick

oh you missed an apostrophe hehehehe
4:27 pm
redturtlehead

Stid I think actually antihistamines are not that great for controlling sinus pressure, have you seen a reputable allergist?
4:27 pm
jmcnrick

hi all
4:28 pm
crosshair

howdy jmc
4:28 pm
stidmama

the sinus allergies are so borderline -- and when I saw him he said I had nonallergic rhinitis. Which I know isn't true, because there are regular, plant-triggered increases in the sinus symptoms.
4:28 pm
redturtlehead

too much antihistamine can trigger a swelling response, and then you are back to where you started.
4:29 pm
redturtlehead

I have started taking Singulair, which is a pain...as my insurance does not cover it. Works really well for my breathing and my allergies...
4:29 pm
stidmama

ah... you know I usually take a vacation from the antihistamine in the summer, and haven't this year. I will do some research and see if there is a way to break out of this cycle
4:30 pm
redturtlehead

Is he any good? I find some allergists seem to just want to do a scratch test and such.
4:30 pm
stidmama

I also often take a break from the tylenol-caffeine this time of year so it's full-strength when I get back to school, but because of the migraines I haven't been able to.
4:31 pm
stidmama

Yes, I think that is what this allergist does. And it is discouraging. But to be honest most of the allergy problems are generally mild now that I have eliminated the bulk of the food allergens.
4:31 pm
redturtlehead

I have to be very careful with anithistamines. I take them for a while and then one day Poof, my nose swells and I really can not breathe.
4:33 pm
stidmama

But with the information you just gave me I can do some additional research and I will think about seeing the allergist again. It has been a couple of years, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to get fully checked out for new changes anyway.
4:33 pm
redturtlehead

clue for the an5?
4:33 pm
stidmama

AN 6 -- yearly
4:34 pm

I just started with a new MD, who I really like. he is all about diet and exercise..

4:35 pm
stidmama

I used to take chlorpheniramine maleate (dristan) for a long long time and it worked beautifully, but I haven't been able to find it in the last ten years as a generic. It's always bundled with something I don't need.

and when i found a "romance" novel at the library that had a rape scene where the two people became a couple later i would tear the book up and give the library a new one
5:53 pm
MollyL

Ah, rape that leads to romance. What a barfy story line.
5:54 pm
rururocks

maybe in the Catholic church?
5:54 pm
jmcnrick

especially when you consider how many impressionable teens and young women read those books. . .
5:54 pm
MollyL

No Ru, even the Catholics are not that twisted.
5:55 pm
jmcnrick

so i never felt guilty about my action. . . and at least one of the librarians knew what i was doing
5:55 pm
jmcnrick

well i have gotten 4 words in an hour. . . . i think i will take a break and come back refreshed. . .maybe run to the liquor store before the rain
5:56 pm

5:58 pm
ChampFit

Good for you! It's nice to have something to look forward to. I'm just slogging through heat and humidity. Waiting for it to be fun again.
6:01 pm
ChampFit

Hmmmm...I see emptiness...must refresh beverage...
6:03 pm
MollyL

Rape turning to romance actually has little to do with any church, and more to do with an archaic male idea that women should be submissive in all things sexual.
6:04 pm
ChampFit

Remember Luke and Laura?
6:05 pm
Minveryork

I thought of Luke&Laura when someone mentioned a rape turning into romance. I thought that was a dumb storyline.
6:06 pm
MollyL

I thought of that too and yes, a very dumb story line. But it was immensely popular. *Shudders*
6:06 pm
rururocks

I was alluding to the way the Catholic Church doesn't seem to accept responsibility for priests raping children molly
6:13 pm
ChampFit

THE CHURCH. A 2012 year old entity. And that shoulders the blame for the losers that commit such crimes? Why are they responsible for the actions of any specific person? And I honestly am asking, not being a b***h.
6:14 pm
mab

because they covered it up
6:15 pm
rururocks

It has been confirmed again and again that Cardinals and Bishops just move these pedophiles to other areas rather than submit them to prosecution and so that they can abuse children in other cities
6:15 pm
MollyL

There are people who will hold an entire entity responsible that way Champ.
6:15 pm
mab

they let abusers continue to abuse
6:16 pm
rururocks

Molly if People in Power circumvent the law and hide these things what does that say about the church?
6:16 pm
dcseain

The church in Rome was not founded until the 3rd century. The Oriental Orthodox Churches were all founded before Rome -- Syrian, Ethiopian, Coptic, and Armenian Orthodox churches.
6:16 pm
mab

oy
6:17 pm
MollyL

It says that there are corrupt people in power. I can't blame an entire religion for the actions that some took.
6:17 pm
rururocks

I'm sorry .. I shouldn't have brought it up.. let's change the subject
6:17 pm
dcseain

agreed, molly
6:17 pm
ChampFit

The church is more than pedophiles. MUCH more. Thx Molly...my point!
6:18 pm
Minveryork

Okay, here is how I can change the subject..........
6:18 pm
MollyL

Men rape women. I don't hold all men responsible for that.
6:18 pm
Minveryork

Here is a story for those who need he 4/6 hu 4/5ing for words. My Au 4/5 has this an 6/21 tradition called "The Polar Bear Jump". Every Winter we drive to her pl 5/14 in our au4/5mobiles at 6:00 in the morning.We have to jump into her lake. She wanted everyone to do it in the nude, but some thought that was unco 5/16. There are some rules to this activity. After we jump in, have to co 5/14 the minutes that we're able to stay in lake before getting out. The first to get out of the lake has to treat everyone for breakfast.The last person to get out of the water gets 50 dollar Visa gift card.Usually it is my Uncle who fl 6/30s his endurance for cold water. I remember when I was a child,I used to pl4/5d with my Mom to not make me do it, but I always had to do it. Now I like this contest.I can never win,but I try to stay in for as long as I can. By the time I get out I am frozen from my he 4/5s to my fa4/7. My body is le4/7 w/hardly any feeling. My te 5/12 chatter for an hour afterward. By the way, this story is not fa4/8ual at all. It is all made up. Hubby has expla4/4ed that he wants the computer.I'm going to go watch Al 4/5 Baldwin in 30 rock. I will be back later on.
6:18 pm
ChampFit

No hard feelings at all! Opinions expressed. It's all safe in babbleand

6:20 pm
MollyL

I would agree with that Champ, if my opinions had not been taken to task here, but that is another story entirely.
6:20 pm
rururocks

It's just that a friend of ours child was abused by a priest that should have been in Jail years ago.. they just kept moving him around to prey on more children. I have zero tolerance for pedophiles.
6:21 pm
MollyL

That is understandable Ru and I respect your feelings on the subject.
6:23 pm
rururocks

.. thanks... how's the weather back east?
6:23 pm
