flosey

1:33 am

flosey

he enjoys doing that but wouldn't bother to join himself

1:33 am

VolleymomDee

aww, so nice he helps a bit... bet that is fun

1:34 am

flosey

yes, I enjoy at least starting it with him

1:34 am

VolleymomDee

do you use a desktop when he goes to be, or do you use a desktop?

1:35 am

flosey

I always use desktop - he uses the laptop

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

I think playing on a laptop is tougher

1:36 am

flosey

yes, me too, I've typed since HS days, so feel better with proper keyboard

1:37 am

VolleymomDee

For me, laptop keys are not spaced properly, so I make sooo many errors - drives me crazy.

1:37 am

1:43 am

lynxxx

hi Volley & Flosey..DrG has finally found some big ones

1:43 am

flosey

am amazed to see how easily he manipulates that little pad to move things around, he watches pbs only

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

1:46 am

flosey

expect that's all there will be for us,so really enjoy them

1:47 am

VolleymomDee

makes them even more precious :)

1:48 am

flosey

it does, the older one was out, from Toronto) last year and couldn't wait to meet his other cousin (from his Dad's side) lots of cousins on his Mom's side

1:48 am

VolleymomDee

since our daughter was an only child, she also became very close to cousins

1:49 am

flosey

interesting

1:50 am

flosey

ah, just got the po7

1:51 am

VolleymomDee

wtg!

1:51 am

VolleymomDee

wonder if dart is still traveling; haven't seen him for ages

1:53 am

flosey

no, but ru said hi to him (teasing I presume, he was in 'who's online'), he may have been in from time to time

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

I had to do that this weekend - was at daughter's and could only slip in a few minutes at a time LOL

1:54 am

flosey

Dee, do you have a clue for the ps8 and 9, it isn't going as I had anticipated

1:54 am

flosey

when I'm back in TO, visiting sons, I use their desktop computers

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

ps + companion word to either _ _ + abbreviation for state of Alabama + opp of beginning (minus the d)

1:55 am

flosey

one son keeps 4 functioning so that grandson's friends can come in and use them

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

the 9 is the plural

1:56 am

VolleymomDee

great idea and great way to have them hang out at home

1:56 am

flosey

thanks Dee, strange words, to me

1:56 am

VolleymomDee

totally new to me, too

1:57 am

flosey

yes, he has also done same with a music room, now they've graduated to guitars,

1:57 am

flosey

they live in a rather quiet neighbourhood, so the kids are free to come in and out

1:58 am

flosey

there's always an adult there

1:58 am

VolleymomDee

fabulous ideas

1:58 am

flosey

good for an only child

1:58 am

VolleymomDee

volleyball helped us keep house busy with sleep overs, travel, etc... kept our daughter so busy, she didn't have time to get into trouble

1:59 am

flosey

so true

1:59 am

VolleymomDee

she was a bit rebellious her freshman year of college, but it didn't last too long

1:59 am

flosey

these kids hang together and the parents keep watch - I set off the alarm one day and looked out the door and all neighbours were out to see what was going on

2:00 am

flosey

was very reassuring for me since I was alone at the time

2:00 am

VolleymomDee

LOL bet that scared you to death (nice to realize others are around though)

2:00 am

flosey

it did, was afraid police would arrive

2:00 am

VolleymomDee

did they?

2:00 am

flosey

only to find dumb gramma with egg on my face

2:01 am

flosey

no, we got it stopped

2:01 am

VolleymomDee

I am dumb about all alarms - always set them off - refuse to even use the one at church

2:01 am

flosey

they may have called, don't remember, was a few years ago

2:03 am

flosey

do you have occasion to be in the church alone?

2:04 am

VolleymomDee

when I was leading Bible studies on Monday nights, I liked to get there early to make coffee and get snacks put out. I always asked one of the ladies with alarm code to help, so I didn't have to mess with the alarm.

2:04 am

VolleymomDee

Then one of the other ladies would close everything up when we left for the evening.

2:05 am

flosey

that's good, should always be working in pairs for things like that

2:05 am

flosey

I worked one night a week in a clinic and we always tried to leave together

2:06 am

VolleymomDee

We live in a small, relatively safe town, but I am nervous in those situations. Hubby picked me up a few times, which I really appreciated.

2:06 am

VolleymomDee

That is just smart.

2:07 am

flosey

we saw each other to their cars

2:07 am

VolleymomDee

Our daughter's hours are hideous - comes and goes at wee hours of the morning and night - her new hubby often goes with her on late night calls... and we REALLY appreciate that.

2:08 am

flosey

very considerate, like that, what does she do?

2:08 am

VolleymomDee

He even did so when they dated... gives some peace of mind.

2:08 am

flosey

great guy

2:08 am

VolleymomDee

She is a sales rep for Medtronic spinal division, so she has to take call for trauma cases every so many weekends and evenings.

2:09 am

flosey

wow, sounds interesting

2:09 am

VolleymomDee

We feel really blessed and are growing to love him.

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

I don't know how many years she'll choose to do it - very taxing, long hours, stressful. So far she loves it, but once they have kids, I don't know how she'll feel.

2:10 am

flosey

we too, have great sils and dils

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

Don't you feel fortunate? Certainly not the case with some of our friends.

2:11 am

flosey

I sure do, one of the girls was married earlier, didn't work out so she really took her time after that - there've been many since the divorce

2:12 am

flosey

her hubby was a good young man, they were just in too much of a hurry, so glad there weren't any children.

2:12 am

2:34 am

sprite

I seem to know more J words than I thought, grin

2:34 am

lynxxx

Sarah - my tips for bad back pain - walk as much as you can. Don't sit, lie down. When you sleep - if on your back put a pillow under your knees - or if you side sleep, put a cushion or pillow between your knees.

2:35 am

lynxxx

hi Flosey

2:36 am

sarah6girls

walking hurts a lot lyn

2:37 am

sprite

and if you stand, keep your knees bent

2:39 am

lynxxx

I am sure the doctor will give you some anti-inflammatory medicine...which will work along with the hot and cold packs

2:41 am

sarah6girls

omg i have to go out in bit and it is snowing lol

2:42 am

lynxxx

BBS time for St*** evening walk

sprite

take care, sarah, don't hurt your back even more

2:44 am

flosey

2:45 am

sarah6girls

2:45 am

sprite

bye sarah, get well soon

2:46 am

flosey

don't be ashamed to use a stick to steady you

2:50 am

sprite

Have used one for walking for years, and I still use it when it is slippery outside

2:53 am

grannyrose

ditto here. whenever i am on unfamiliar ground, i use a walking stick. don't like to take the chance of falling over.

2:54 am

5:45 am

cosdem

5:55 am

smores

:)

5:55 am

cosdem

my dogs on the floor next to me snoring. my cat is on the couch on his back .. my other cat is in the bathroom sink.. must be nice to be able to sleep. i wonder if animals get insomnia? (lol true molly)

smores

lol...none of mine ever get it

5:56 am

cosdem

lol mine neither,, lucky them

5:57 am

MollyL

Oh I don't think I could handle a cat in the bathroom sink. This is why I don't have animals.

5:57 am

cosdem

I envy people who can fall asleep instantly. It takes me 15-20 mins every night lying in bed. Its always been this way since I was a kid

5:57 am

cosdem

Molly ill take a pic later and email it to u. its too cute

5:58 am

MollyL

It's your high metabolism, which is why you are so thin. I bet your heart beat is like a bunny's. : D

5:58 am

cosdem

5:58 am

cosdem

5:58 am

cosdem

6:00 am

MollyL

Then there are people who let their cats sit on the kitchen counters and I can't even go there.

6:00 am

cosdem

lol theyre not allowed on the kitchen counters

6:01 am

cosdem

all the gay sites are saying jodie foster "came out" ugh... wish they would check their facts before doing anything

6:02 am

MollyL

I can't believe all the media attention that is getting. It's totally old news.

6:03 am

cosdem

I mean look at her when she was a teenager. I mean if you didnt know back then....

6:04 am

MollyL

I still can't believe someone being gay is "news".

6:04 am

cosdem

Here it is again, just for you. Demotivator for today: Picture: Star shining in night sky. Caption: Wishes. Text: When you wish upon a falling star your wish may come true. Unless it's a meteroite speeding toward the Earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish for---unless it's death by meteorite.

8:54 am

car.eeyore

8:54 am

It definitely takes more working out than you'd normally expect for a big grid.

8:54 am

car.eeyore

Uh...does that send me to the PB?

8:55 am

Haz1558

No, I don't think so.

72 Temple Owl

ack - i really should not have begun this one. it isn't going to be as easy as yesterday

9:25 am

hurshy

i guess you came in too late to see my realization of it being a hard grid. :(

9:26 am

Haz1558

Some of the words don't spring readily to mind.

9:26 am

hurshy

try the n's, they are pretty easy.

9:26 am

72 Temple Owl

i generally don't read chat when just beginning. if you tell me there is no list i will be even more regretful.

9:27 am

Haz1558

There is a list and it's Lickety's so all is not lost.

9:27 am

9:41 am

hurshy

he was a babbler once upon a time.

9:41 am

smores

oh

9:42 am

Haz1558

No, mikey was a babbler, he was a ballet dancer so that's why I always think of him when je4 is in the grid.

9:42 am

rubyfoo

that's funny, before my time, I guess

9:42 am

smores

think it's normal to miss a lot of easy ones on grids this size

9:50 am

72 Temple Owl

9:50 am

rubyfoo

Haz1558

What's a French dip?

10:00 am

smores

10:01 am

rbud

wahhhh, both our local quiznos closed down right after Hubs and I discovered their yummy au jus

10:01 am

hurshy

roast beef sandwich which you dip in au jus sauce, which is made from the beef drippings i guess?

10:01 am

rubyfoo

and we can even get half-way decent maple syrup here

10:01 am

smores

aww rbud that's too bad

10:01 am

72 Temple Owl

they all closed. after having a french dip there, i understand why.

10:01 am

rubyfoo

I would live on pancakes, eggs and other white foods if I could

10:02 am

phaeton

soggy bread with beef on it

10:02 am

72 Temple Owl

10:02 am

10:02 am

rubyfoo

10:02 am

72 Temple Owl

no, phae. it is crispy. it sogs if you dip it a lot

10:02 am

rubyfoo

whoops, sorry

10:02 am

rbud

in fact I just made au jus and sammies last night, venision rosst in onions and italian seasoning in the slow cooker - it was tasty.

10:02 am

yay, ty, didn't have that ro5 yet, lol

10:04 am

smores

I recall you mentioning that before...never would have thought

10:04 am

72 Temple Owl

no, hurshy. the meat was very salty and i questioned the quality. they advertised it and it looked good so i tried it. but with all of the real delis in the area, which use boar's head or thmann's or dietz watson, the chains don't usually make it. i would try arby's though if there wre one handy

10:05 am

smores

I've had Arby's TO...au jus and meat were good...roll wasn't as crusty as I would've liked..

10:05 am

phaeton

the Arby's here is questionable...decor is downtread and the meals are so-so

10:06 am

72 Temple Owl

we do have subway though i don't generally eat there.

10:07 am

72 Temple Owl

i mean, this is the birthplace of the hoagie. there are a few local chains like primo's

10:07 am

smores

I used to frequent Subway as there was one across the street from my old job...not sure if they have a french dip

10:07 am

rbud

we have a local independent pizza joint that makes a pretty good dip sandwich, italian beef and goat cheese and onions run under the broiler, good au jus. just can't afford it often.

10:07 am

72 Temple Owl

the only thing i ever eat there is the ham cheese if I am stuck

10:07 am

phaeton

my hubby once got Bob Evans to make him a french dip

10:08 am

72 Temple Owl

rbud i LVOE your icon! did you see it, hursh?

10:08 am

10:10 am

Hello all. Just lurking but I must say you are all making me too hungry and I am too cold and tired to make anything interesting for dinner. Besides the fact that my DH is out of town and my son thinks Pizza is the only food worth wasting his time on.

Here they do. Not sure about SoCal. But if you have central AC, you have the ducts for heating

11:55 am

thought that was a requiremtn everywhere, at least in new construstion. usually electric

TO.... they are making so many changes to potato varieties.... some just DO NOT mash well. I bought some lovely new white potatoes once, and they just went gummy when I tried to mash them.

12:00 pm

bichon

One thing about being in CA, the produce is less expensive and fresher

12:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

so ruby your mind reading capapcilites are frozen :)

12:00 pm

rubyfoo

TO, I don't understand the question.....

12:00 pm

Kamanjah

Most of the produce in CA now is from South America and Mexico

12:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

that is because it is as yet unasked.

12:01 pm

rubyfoo

sometimes the potatoes here get gummy and nasty -- too waxy for starters, I think. You need good idahoes (or in Europ "bunchies" or something)

12:01 pm

bichon

Lots from the central valley

12:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

but i think i will try google and if i come up short i will ask for human hekp

I only heard it, never saw it LOL

12:43 pm

MollyL

*Pictures Ruby listening at the confessional*

12:43 pm

Michnick

Annie's spelling is what I've seen. Not a phantom, just a proper noun and therefore not accepted.

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

how else can you learn stuff?

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

I think the brand name was Spalding

12:44 pm

Anniebrook

LOL, actually the word was Spalding but we spoke our own New Yorkese

12:44 pm

MollyL

Now that I have seen. On basketballs.

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

we sold them in our store, red rubber balls

12:45 pm

Anniebrook

oh ruby, memories

12:45 pm

Michnick

In memoires I've seen the spelling Spaldeen. Of course it was Spalding, I just never realized it. (Michele feeling dumb, having a 40 year-too-late AHA moment.)

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

you would have loved my father's candy store, annie, I'm sure like every other one in the outer boroughs

12:46 pm

Michnick

Where was it Ruby?

12:46 pm

Anniebrook

ruby, when I was a kid going to a candy store was a treat

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

in Queens Village

12:46 pm

MollyL

<---Hates that the only candy stores now are upscale snooty chocolate shops.

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

when I was very small, sometimes my whole class would walk to the store as a "field trip" and my father would give all the kids ice cream and candy

12:47 pm

Michnick

Ah, my mother grew up in Far Rockaway, her father owned a grocery store.

12:47 pm

Anniebrook

and we would stand there for the longest time picking out 2 cent candy. remember the ice cream sandwiches that was put between 2 large cookies.

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

and egg creams and malteds?

12:47 pm

Anniebrook

I'm drooling, stop!

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

by the time I was 7, my father would let me mind the store, but I wasn't big enough to make sodas or sell ice cream

12:48 pm

Michnick

We didn't have a candy store, per se, but the drug store had a candy counter and a fountain. Does a real fountain exist anywhere any more?

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

(sold cigarettes, though)

12:48 pm

Michnick

I mean where I grew up.

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

I wonder; I've been away a long time

12:49 pm

Anniebrook

Woolworths had a great soda fountain

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

his candy store ultimately became an antique shop before the neighborhood became exotic

12:49 pm

cybernan

du 7, please?

12:49 pm

Anniebrook

ruby, a great loss

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

somebody who fights after taking offense

12:50 pm

EvaNadine

now ive got the HUGEST craving for a root beer float!

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

du7

12:50 pm

cybernan

ty ruby

12:50 pm

Michnick

Remember popping a balloon that would have a piece of paper inside with the price of a banana split? If you were lucky it was 2 cents, I think the highest was like 75 cents or something. This was in the late-60s and early 70s

12:50 pm

Anniebrook

Ruby, see what you did to Evan and me!

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

my father would make me extra-malt malteds after school every day to fatten me up and I would get to scrape all the ice cream out of the cartons

12:51 pm

Michnick

I made a coke float recently, my kids thought it was disgusting. Oh where have we come to??

12:51 pm

Anniebrook

I'm jealous

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

you are much younger, mich!

12:51 pm

EvaNadine

i had a lovely framboise float a while back. a fabulous grown-ups-only dessert. ;)

12:51 pm

Michnick

Still,the world I remember no longer exists.

12:51 pm

Anniebrook

can I get a clue for the second de 5/14 please

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

I just ate a pint of Haagen-Daz salted caramel ice cream, melted. How bad is that?

12:52 pm

Michnick

Or, do you mean, how good is that?!

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

I secretly weigh 300 lbs!

12:53 pm

Michnick

Haha, if you really weigh 300 lbs, it wouldn't be much of a secret!

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

they have a flavor here of caramel with speculoos

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

I use smoke and mirrors

12:53 pm

Michnick

What are speculoos?

12:54 pm

rubyfoo

they're a Belgian molasses cookie with almonds, fabulous!

12:54 pm

Michnick

Oooh. I am craving all that is bad for me!!

12:54 pm

rubyfoo

I can buy them in the local market and eat them spread with cream cheese or salted butter

12:55 pm

Michnick

OK, I do believe that you secretly weigh 300 lbs (or 145 K)

12:55 pm

rubyfoo

my only real cravings are for eggs....weird!

12:55 pm

rubyfoo

and only 5 ft tall

12:56 pm

Michnick

That is weird. Maybe because such utterly wonderful food is available, you crave eggs?

12:56 pm

cybernan

I think this grid takes the cake for stupid words

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

this is a bad food region of France; the meat is awful

12:57 pm

Michnick

Well, there are so many of them, there have been stupider.

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

I'm an irregular eater

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

did you get the du7, nan?

12:57 pm

Michnick

Is the produce bad where you are too? The meat is pretty bad here too, but we make the best of it.

12:58 pm

rubyfoo

the produce is pretty good and less expensive than anything else; things like endive and asparagus are inexpensive and wonderful (in season only)

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

and I've just started cooking duck in a variety of ways

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

my DIL brings Italian sausage when she visits from SF

12:59 pm

Michnick

That's good.I love duck but it is one of the few foods I have never made myself. Do you have to render all the fat before cooking?

12:59 pm

cybernan

yes thank you

1:00 pm

rubyfoo

beef here is not worth eating

1:00 pm

crosshair

lol ruby@ 300 pounds.i have seen your picture.i think my right leg weighs more than you do:)

1:00 pm

Michnick

That's the smoke and mirrors, cross

1:00 pm

rubyfoo

I just learned how to cook it in the past year: I buy "magret de canard" which I think is duck breast and cook it, fat side down to get rid of some of the fat

1:01 pm

rubyfoo

then I cook it in sweetened soy sauce and homemade plum jam

1:01 pm

MollyL

Ruby are you still putting that picture on Facebook?
: D

1:01 pm

rubyfoo

I don't know how to change it

1:01 pm

rubyfoo

like this avatar (not that I would change old Max for anything....)

1:02 pm

Michnick

Omigosh, that sounds amazing. I wonder how expensive duck would be here. The general public here is not very adventerous about their eating and cooking.

1:02 pm

rubyfoo

I buy halal lamb because French lamb is nasty

1:02 pm

rubyfoo

for couscous or roasts

1:02 pm

periwinkle

hello, hello all

1:03 pm

Michnick

Where does the halal come from? Lamb here is very expensive but good (actually I think it's good, I don't have much to compare it to)

1:03 pm

Michnick

Hello Peri

1:03 pm

rubyfoo

I sounds like the good cook I once was, but have become much more lazy with the years....

1:03 pm

rubyfoo

there are 4 Arab butchers, but I think the slaughtering makes it taste better than the Fr way

1:03 pm

periwinkle

Mich your real first name and mine are the same, even spelled the same way

1:03 pm

rubyfoo

hello peri

1:04 pm

Michnick

Unusual, people are always giving me that extra "L"

1:04 pm

rubyfoo

that's funny, peri, I know 7 people in my village with that first name and 2 are men!

1:04 pm

stidgmere

Hello all. Just starting. Sounds like a cooking program chog today. Lovely!!

1:04 pm

Michnick

Ruby, how does halal meat taste compared to Kosher?

1:04 pm

MollyL

Blame that on The Beatles.

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

I think it's the same because the slaughtering is the same, but without the blessing (I think)

1:05 pm

Michnick

Ruby, the men have one but leave off the last e.

1:05 pm

periwinkle

I have one 8 ps8 and the pl that I got from earlier clues. help with other eights pls.

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

when 2 of the Michele got married in Sept, that was the song they played when the bride was given away

1:05 pm

cybernan

or 7, please?

1:06 pm

periwinkle

everyone keeps trying to put two ells in my name

1:06 pm

Michnick

I don't think so Ruby, (about the slaughtering) there are differences. I don't know enough about kosher slaughtering to know what the diffs are.

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

Here, they all seem to spell it your way

1:06 pm

Michnick

Did one Michele marry a Michel?

1:06 pm

MollyL

It bugs me to no end that the French pronounce Michelle and Michael the same way, Gabriel and Gabrielle the same way and Daniel and Danielle the same way.

1:06 pm

stidgmere

Periwinklle. Oh. Is it the first or second elle that needs elliminating?

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

maybe they use Mikael

1:07 pm

periwinkle

perwinkle. we are talking about my real first name stid

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

no, 2 Michele's (one male, one female) f=got married. They own the local Italian resto

1:07 pm

Michnick

Stidgemere, that is a deep and probing question!!

1:07 pm

stidgmere

I know that, just being silllly.

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

and I am godmother to their dog, Capone (see FB), a Malinois

1:08 pm

stidgmere

Ty michnick. Sometimes my humor flies too high or too low.

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

he and I are in love

1:08 pm

Michnick

Hit me square on

1:08 pm

cybernan

I thought that in France Michel was pronounced Mikel with the accent on the second syllable

1:08 pm

EvaNadine

my friend's middle name is Michele. we always call her "Donna Michele, one L"

1:09 pm

MollyL

That is like me asking my friend how his sister, Robyn with the Y is. : D

1:09 pm

rubyfoo

I made a gross humor faux pas when I went to the party in London. All my niece's colleagues were there, all female psychologysts, and when I met them, I'd say, "Hello, I'm cured!" I don't think I can ever go back.

1:09 pm

stidgmere

That is because we are on the same wave length michnick. Hooray for us.

1:09 pm

Michnick

My mother originally named me Michel, but someone in the hospital told her only boys leave off the last e. Luckily she was able to recall the birth cert and add the e

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

they didn't think it was funny

1:10 pm

stidgmere

So, ruby, you don't need them and they don't want folks cured. Too bad for them.

1:10 pm

MollyL

I do : D : D : D

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

I can always count on Molly!

1:11 pm

periwinkle

sa8/9 pls

1:11 pm

rubyfoo

I thought since people always ask them for advice, that would be a funny thing to say. NOT!

1:11 pm

MollyL

It's fun to mess with shrinks.

1:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello molly.

1:11 pm

Michnick

My sister had a blind date for her junior prom. She went with my dad to pick him and he said, "Hi. I'm Rich." She answered with "Oh, how nice. I'm poor." He didn't think of another thing to say all evening.

1:11 pm

stidgmere

We do count on Molly.

1:11 pm

rubyfoo

not noted for having a sense of humor, I guess

1:11 pm

Sue, my father-in-law used to go out to lunch after chemo. It affects different people differently. I hope it continues to go well for Frank.

7:14 pm

There seem to be a lot of people doing odd things in the grid today.

7:18 pm

7:19 pm

No one seems to be doing much in the chog right now. :^)

well whit, this is your chance to liven things up!

7:21 pm

as for me, i would be happy for the da5/20. i am sure it is something quite obvious but i can't find it.

7:22 pm

wht

*Does a soft shoe through the chog*

7:23 pm

wht

The da5/20 is the pl of the da4/9, but that probably doesn't help much.

7:23 pm

wht

And there is another da5,20 that is like daybreak but with a random vowel added to it.

7:24 pm

uusue2

ok, finally got my password sorted out. Sigh.

7:24 pm

wht

A victory in one of life's small battles, Sue.

7:26 pm

uusue2

Indeed. One of the problems is that, between my smart phone and my iPad, I can get locked out of my account every time I change my password because they are constantly trying to log in with the old one before I can get it changed everywhere.

7:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

bingo! ty!

7:27 pm
