he had a hernia in his abdominal wall. it was stopping him from taking normal sized breaths, and so he couldn't feed properly.

1:39 am

rururocks

told you you'd be back flosey

1:39 am

flosey

you did it, ru

1:40 am

jillibus

just saw a remedy on TV, flosey -- pumpkin seeds + carbs.

1:40 am

gapeach

I did that last night.

1:41 am

rururocks

wouldn't pumpkin seeds squash your need to sleep

1:42 am

gapeach

Wound up going back to bed at 7:00AM. I tell you it's hard to make appointments when one has insominia

1:42 am

ChrissieDee

Probably the groans from the chog kept flosey awake

1:42 am

gapeach

insomina...oh, Hell, I don't know how to spell it.

1:43 am

rururocks

:D

1:43 am

jillibus

it was for real, flosey -- not an ad. Reported on CTV news, doctor explained.

1:43 am

grannyrose

ruru, that went right through to the marrow, here

1:44 am

flosey

no pumpkin seeds in the house but a few simple carbs

1:44 am

jillibus

pumpkin seeds contain tryptophan, the carbs help absorb it.

1:44 am

grannyrose

zucchini it's you though, i'll let it pass

1:45 am

rururocks

maybe some pumpkin seeds and a shot of scotch flosey :D

1:45 am

flosey

ah, so combined, don't really care for pumpkin seeds

1:45 am

grannyrose

intravenously of course

1:46 am

flosey

ah, now perhaps that might help! lol, don't like scotch either

1:46 am

rururocks

*passes out*

1:46 am

flosey

now there's an idea rose

1:47 am

grannyrose

hmmm, pumpkin seeds, scotch and carbs enema...could work...if you don't sleep, you'll get a good run for your money.

1:47 am

flosey

I don't drink much of anything anymore ru, just an occasional glass of wine, or g&t

1:48 am

ChrissieDee

There's the nurse coming through, lol

1:48 am

grannyrose

didn't want to disappoint....

1:48 am

ChrissieDee

Rose, put those rubber gloves away

1:48 am

rururocks

would the carbs be gnocchi granny

1:49 am

grannyrose

* lubricant at the ready*

1:49 am

rururocks

then someone would be gnocchi'd up

1:49 am

flosey

running away from rose

1:49 am

grannyrose

2:02 am

rururocks

2:03 am

rururocks

I was laughing so hard I couldn't eat

2:03 am

jillibus

I believe you, ru! I think the veins are true too, but don't know personally. And sadly, it seems only men get prostrate cancer.

2:04 am

jillibus

Did that poor woman know what you were laughing about?

2:04 am

rururocks

3:06 am

harlem, for the neighbourhood :)

3:07 am

grannyrose

he had a hernia in his abdo. wall...that is why he couldn't take a deep breath, breathe normally, and couldn't feed.

3:07 am

sprite

Glant, it was what I was thinking for a clue for the lettuce... the Asterix and Obelix quote "Ils sont fou, ces ro8!" ;)

3:07 am

sprite

aw poor little man! How is he now?

3:08 am

grannyrose

1 1/2 hours post-op he was wide awake, drank 60mls( he would only take 20 mls at a time) and breathing beautifully on room air

3:26 am

grannyrose

oh, did i miss one of your emails? what is she doing now?

3:30 am

sprite

did you catch the new word torgone came up with, Glant? A flurker: someone who claims to be a lurker but avidly reads chog anyway and posts the occasional entry. A faux lurker :)

3:30 am

Glantarell

ah, that description fits me to a T just lately!!!

3:30 am

Glantarell

flurking sounds like a neat pastime :-D

3:31 am

Glantarell

except i don;t avidly read the chog...

3:31 am

sprite

:D Absolutely. It has a great ring, that word.

3:31 am

Glantarell

i just read it between looking for words so miss loads of stuff...

3:32 am

negativeneil

I don't know, Rose? She's working in a boutique/gift shop in a hotel. She enjoys that... better than front desk clerk.

3:32 am

Glantarell

so what are you doing now Neil?

3:33 am

negativeneil

It's on profile, Glant. :)

3:33 am

rbud

I only lurk while avidly reading the parts of the chog where the best clues are, lol - wonder what that makes me... a clurker?

3:34 am

sprite

ooo I like clurker too :) Hiya rbud!

3:35 am

rbud

hi, sprite, and everyone else (lurking or not) :)

3:35 am

it is japanese, Glant. Import words for 'import' japanese immigrating into the USA. is*** is first generation, ni*** is second.

3:46 am

Glantarell

Hs done

3:47 am

3:55 am

Glantarell

crumbs, so 1st gen is japan, 2nd is isei, 3rd ni5, and 4th yonsei - is there a term for 5th?

3:57 am

sprite

first gen is is***, second ni***, 3rd is san***, 4th is yon***. After that, the japanese still in Japan won't consider them japanese at all anymore.

3:58 am

Glantarell

I don't think I'd consider them japanese any more either LOL

3:58 am

Glantarell

Ds done

Crossy, my bacon-loving daughter wants to know if you are married. LOL!

8:31 am

Scrabbler

Good day to all.

8:31 am

hurshy

i would like to know the adjective i can use to describe rock that is very layered and papery like a pastry crust. like i would say, this rock is flinty. or something. i want to know the correct word. preferably ending with y though. :)

8:31 am

hurshy

and yes crossy is married.

8:31 am

Anniebrook

Hi Scrabbs

8:31 am

crosshair

yes,i am married ,mklein,why??

8:31 am

Scrabbler

Sure, Hurshy. We can make our own adjectives by adding a -y or -ish.

8:31 am

hurshy

whaddya mean why, she loves bacon, you love bacon...

8:32 am

crosshair

lol,sorry,one wife at a time for crossy:))

8:32 am

hurshy

well yeah scrabbler but i want to know if there is already a correct science word to describe that kind of rock.

8:32 am

crosshair

2 would be chaos

8:32 am

Scrabbler

Stratified.

8:33 am

hurshy

is that the only word or are there more?

8:33 am

hurshy

do i have options?

8:33 am

crosshair

in contexet a rock can have striations

8:34 am

hurshy

but i mean so papery it like crumbles and falls apart real easy in your hand and you can get a paper cut on it

8:34 am

Scrabbler

Flaky!

8:34 am

hurshy

i was at a shore with this sort of rock on friday and was calling it flinty but not knowing if that made any sense at all

8:35 am

crosshair

stratify

8:35 am

hurshy

well sure, flaky would work, but flaky works for more than just rocks

8:35 am

lbdawger

schist

8:35 am

crosshair

stratification..delamination

8:35 am

hurshy

schist?

8:36 am

hurshy

it was schisty?

8:36 am

lbdawger

yes, you could say that. not very technical, but it works

8:37 am

crosshair

do not know that word.we can look at other languages of course

8:37 am

lbdawger

make sure you pronounce the ST lol

8:37 am

Anniebrook

schistic?

8:37 am

mklein

Keep it clean, now.

8:38 am

Scrabbler

rotini is not accepted--type of pasta

8:38 am

lbdawger

can't remember if it is metamorphic or not

8:38 am

crosshair

as in i slipped on some schlist and landed on my plotz:)

8:39 am

hurshy

we're all very upset about the rotini

8:39 am

crosshair

i am boycotting pasta for a week now.it must be a proper town or city name as well as a pasta,either that or enable is having a hissy fit

8:40 am

Scrabbler

Alright, we are all mourning rotini.

8:40 am

MollyL

Rotini (according to Wikipedia) The name is supposed to derive from the Italian for twists, but the word "rotini" does not exist in Italian.

8:40 am

crosshair

mm,well there goes that idea

8:40 am

hurshy

it doesn't not count things that are proper but also generic, if it has generic meaning it counts (like ro5)

8:40 am

Scrabbler

Probably rotino, with rotini as plural.

8:41 am

hurshy

on the bright side, my mart is SO CUTE

8:41 am

MollyL

Ha! Some people call it scroodles.

8:41 am

I love the Desert

11:16 am

If you dont import/provide/acquire your own colors here... all you will see is 50 shades of brown... and blue skies... and cactus.

12:34 pm

TraderKate

cheat geraniums?

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

I buy flats of small geraniums when they are very cheap and put them into spaces in the border. I would never have thought of putting them in the ground but, with a little care, they flourish

12:36 pm

rubyfoo

phantom:zloty

12:36 pm

TraderKate

Time to get your own place, Peri.

5:27 pm

periwinkle

my main income is SS so it would have to be really inexpensive

5:27 pm

periwinkle

it would be nice to have someone to share expenses with

5:28 pm

periwinkle

I had my own place for a long time

5:28 pm

MollyL

The ideal situation is sharing a place with a roommate who is rarely home. : )

5:28 pm

periwinkle

yep, that would be good

5:29 pm

MollyL

It's hard to find people to share housing with when you get to a certain age.

5:29 pm

periwinkle

yes it is.

5:29 pm

Bugsaw

take in a Japanese or Korean female student peri. Their families pay lots of money for you to house them and they are always off with their friends. Usually, other nice kids.

5:29 pm

The problem is, there is very little affordable and decent housing for single people on limited/fixed incomes.

5:32 pm

Bugsaw

same in Canada Molly

5:32 pm

periwinkle

very true, I have looked into some and they are not appealing. What I like, I cannot afford

5:33 pm

MollyL

Peri, when I win the lottery, I will buy you a nice house near the beach. : D

5:33 pm

Bugsaw

If you can find it, the comlex is usually full of drunks or druggies

5:33 pm

periwinkle

aw, very sweet Molly.

5:34 pm

Bugsaw

The Golden Girls had a good idea. Three or four ladies move into the best house out of all of them but have their own private rooms and right to a private life.

5:35 pm

MollyL

I can see myself being very happy in that kind of set up, with the right kind of women.

cosdem

R's done! 49 to go. wtg penq

6:55 pm

penquis

ty...:oD

6:55 pm

MollyL

I buy my breadmakers on the inexpensive side because all I use them for is the dough. I bake everything in the oven.

6:57 pm

cosdem

thats an interesting way to do it. i may have to try that. i like it out of the oven better.

6:59 pm

MollyL

I am weird. I don't like the shape of the loaves that breadmakers produce. And I make a lot of rolls and French bread, and those you have to do in the oven anyway.

6:59 pm

crosshair

it is interesting.this maker has a dough feature to stop it mid-stride.i may try that

6:59 pm

cosdem

and im sure the aroma from the oven is a bonus

7:00 pm

MollyL

Cos, do you have Bed Bath and Beyond out there?

7:01 pm

cosdem

There may be one on the north side of town where they keep building all these box stores

7:01 pm

cosdem

I havent been to one since we moved to Colorado

7:02 pm

MollyL

With one of their 20% off coupons, you can get a breadmaker pretty cheap there. Otherwise, Amazon is your best bet, if you have prime free shipping.

7:02 pm

cosdem

oh good idea. i am always getting their coupons in the weekly circulators

7:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

i make bread by hand, i have a very good cold rise method

7:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

a bit on the heavier side but great toasted

7:05 pm

cosdem

i have an off the point question/ need some advice

7:05 pm

MollyL

Go for it

7:05 pm

cosdem

as some of you know i have an interview tues... the question that always kills me is what is my greatest weakness..... how would you recommend I answer?

7:06 pm

MollyL

I hate that interview question, it is such BS.

7:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

may i ask the job title or what it entails?

7:06 pm

MollyL

I always want to tell them that my greatest weakness is talking about my weaknesses.

7:06 pm

penquis

pick something that you can talk about... something that you can point out what you are doing to compensate for it or improve it....

"I often feel like asking questions makes me look like I don't know what I'm doing. But I have found that I learn by asking questions, so I am making a point to do more of that now."

7:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

something you can turn into a strength depending on the situation

7:09 pm

cosdem

right..like bluntness?

7:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

you could work with that

7:10 pm

cosdem

I could say it could show the kids that its good to be honest at all times

7:11 pm

penquis

too honest sometimes?.. working on making your points in ways that they will be well received....

7:11 pm

cosdem

I am also hyper and that can be a weakness in some fields but i think in a setting full of children that coud be good

7:12 pm

penquis

i think i would avoid hyper....hyper people are often disorganized and impulsive...don't want to give that impression....

7:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

i agree

7:13 pm

cosdem

Okay.. will forget that

7:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

something about good feedback, to the point, i am brainstorming here. you can work it

7:14 pm

cosdem

thats the question that always stumps me.

7:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

write down points as you think of them, don't evaluate just write and when you are out of ideas review them

7:14 pm

cosdem

okay.. just write as many as i think of then.. then weed them out

7:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

then you can expand upon them . re brainstorm

7:15 pm

cosdem

okay sounds like a plan thanks!

7:15 pm

penquis

just make sure you come up with something you can talk about if they ask about weaknesses....don't want to look like you don't think you have any or that you don't want to talk about them....

7:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

yw. try googling, monster etc wll have tips

7:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

never use the word weakness in your answer, i do remember that

7:17 pm

cosdem

"I tend to...." or???

7:17 pm

penquis

talk about something you are working on improving....rather than something you are weak in....

7:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

i've found that i...

7:18 pm

cosdem

too trusting?

7:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

TraderKate

any sweetie pie updates? i haven't seen you for a while... last i heard you went over for (bbq?) and met the kids...

8:40 pm

Trifioso

me?

8:40 pm

Trifioso

or jellen?

8:40 pm

Jellen

Little frustrated with Josh atm.

8:40 pm

welki

hi folks!

8:40 pm

Trifioso

hello welki!

8:41 pm

TraderKate

jellen.... but you too tfif!

8:41 pm

Jellen

Hi, welki

8:41 pm

TraderKate

hi welki :)

8:41 pm

Aloyisius

hi welki

8:41 pm

TraderKate

why the frustration ?

8:42 pm

Jellen

Ah, well. He agrees to do things, then backs out.

8:43 pm

Jellen

I spend a lot of time waiting around.

8:43 pm

welki

Josh = sweetie pie? (guy in the pic? looks like a marine)

8:43 pm

TraderKate

i expect you would very much like to spend more time with him...

8:43 pm

Jellen

He is a marine...

8:44 pm

TraderKate

FIRST RULE JELLEN... live your life... do not spend your time waiting for him. if he values you and your company he will make plans and stick to them if at all possible

8:44 pm

Jellen

Good advice, Kate...

8:44 pm

TraderKate

we've all done it...sat by the phone and waited for it to ring...i'm at the top of the list there... :(

8:45 pm

Trifioso

wow, good advice kate!

8:45 pm

welki

kate's on the money, jellen

8:46 pm

Jellen

I've packed four times for overnight trips that didn't happen...;(

8:46 pm

TraderKate

live, love and learn....it's harder to take the advice (especially unsolicited) than it is to dispense it....

8:47 pm

TraderKate

reasons for the cancellation jellen? his kids aren't that old, are they with him full time?

8:47 pm

welki

that's four too many times, jellen. you lived the last (fill in the number) years without him, you can live the next (fill in the number) years without him -- harsh, but true

8:48 pm

Jellen

It's sometimes the kids. More particularly, his irresponsible ex not picking them up.

8:48 pm

Trifioso

have you met his children yet jellen?

8:49 pm

welki

sounds like a pattern - i understand that exes can be a p.i.t.a. about visitation, but you said that 'sometimes' it's the kids. what about the other times?

8:49 pm

Jellen

Yes, I have met all his kids once.

8:49 pm

TraderKate

that's always going to be a problem jellen.. you're gonna have to deal with the ex form here on in if you stay.. is she aware of you yet? is she submarining you?

8:50 pm

Jellen

I think she knows about me. And she might be submarining me, but I think it's a preexisting pattern.

8:51 pm

TraderKate

remember jellen, this is a very NEW relationship, frankly i am surprised that an overnight has been talked about.. so soon. remember he has the kids to think of, so that should naturally slow down the speed of the progression of the relationship... any chance you have pushed a bit for an away night, and he's trying to placate you; though he really isn't yet comfortable with it?

8:51 pm

Jellen

Sometimes it's other family obligations.

8:52 pm

welki

how old are the children?

8:52 pm

Jellen

He does try to placate me too much, I think.

8:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello all

8:53 pm

TraderKate

hi TO :)

8:53 pm

Jellen

Kids are 9, 7, 3, and 1.

Jillyjill

Hello again...time to finish! Hello TO, ((jellen)), welki and TK

8:54 pm

welki

holy moly! that's a lot of kids

8:54 pm

TraderKate

why do you think that he tries to placate you too much jellen? (shrink question, lol)

8:55 pm

TraderKate

hi jilly :)

8:55 pm

welki

yes, jellen should be hugged ((((((jellen)))))) - this isn't going to be an easy go of it, no matter how it turns out

8:56 pm

TraderKate

very true welki
{{{{((((JELLEN)))}}}

8:56 pm

Jellen

Not sure, Kate.

8:56 pm

Jellen

Minveryork

Hi Uneaixoise! How are you doing today? Welcome to grid.

9:47 pm

rururocks

glee club?

9:47 pm

Uneaixoise

hey min

9:47 pm

Minveryork

I took archery, but I did not like it much. I liked swimming.

9:47 pm

Uneaixoise

yep, like chorus

9:47 pm

rururocks

oh..

9:48 pm

Uneaixoise

loved archery, min -- even won my "sheriff's badge" :-)

9:48 pm

Minveryork

I am doing well rocky12.I have 3 more days left of summer school.I am looking forward to some down time next week

9:48 pm

Uneaixoise

my point being, ru, that I was not "tres sportive" LOL

9:48 pm

rururocks

<--i got kicked out of cub scouts

9:50 pm

Minveryork

I was never kicked out of anything 'til this year when I had to leave the building that I worked in for the past 9 years.

9:50 pm

Uneaixoise

spent many years in scouts -- my mom was our leader (and a terrific one!)

9:51 pm

rururocks

what happened minver?

9:51 pm

Uneaixoise

min, i got downsized back in 2005 after working for the same organization (in various capacities) for 30 yrs

9:51 pm

Minveryork

I feel like I was kicked out. It was not my choice to leave.

9:51 pm

Uneaixoise

not a good feeling -- so sorry, min

9:53 pm

Minveryork

My school has been a failing school for many years so they finally had to reorganize the staff.50% had to go and I was part of the 50 percent that had to go unfortunately.

9:54 pm

Uneaixoise

:-(

9:55 pm

Minveryork

There are 2 schools in the district that got reorganized.I have a feeling that I'll just go to the other failing school in the district. Still waiting to hear about my placement.

9:56 pm

Minveryork

I put in a grievance with my union because the district is so not doing the right thing according to the teacher contract

9:57 pm

Minveryork

Even though I am annoyed with district,I am thankful I still have a job. I try to be positive & keep things in perspective

9:58 pm

Uneaixoise

hope all ends well for you, min :-)

9:58 pm

Minveryork

Thanks Uneaixoise!

10:16 pm

Minveryork

Minveryork

Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I will see you tomorrow.

10:20 pm

10:38 pm

joso

hi all

10:38 pm

TraderKate

hi joso, how-a-by-you? :)

10:39 pm

cosdem

hows the grid going kate?

10:41 pm

joso

good TK, someone told me that you are considering a visit to TO, you'r not considering returning home with a shaggy black beast, caus that is just not on.

10:42 pm

TraderKate

well... it could be better, i've been in and out all day, but still 80 to go. working the list; downto the di words (working backwards)

10:43 pm

TraderKate

i would never dream of taking your beloved shadow!!! harrrumphhhh! ;) but i would love to meet him if possible

10:44 pm

TraderKate

no real plans to hit TO in the next while, feelers out for a meet up though..finally got in touch with joshuaviborus (or however you spell it, lol)

10:44 pm

joso

absolutely, he loves meeting people. To him any new folk are just another petting opportunity.

10:45 pm

TraderKate

ah! i know a do or two that thinks exactly the smae way.. anything for a good ear scratch or belly rub ;)

10:45 pm

TraderKate

*dog

10:46 pm

TraderKate

we can stroll the boardwalk!

10:47 pm

joso

if it comes together I would like to join, can host if it helps. Scrab said you would be traveling by public inconvenience, can pick you up at bus or train station if it helps.

10:48 pm

TraderKate

that would be a great help joso.. especially if we are going to meet somewhere "central" that puts it out in the boonies somewhere.. and i know crossy doesn't like the big cities...

10:49 pm

TraderKate

i htink josh is east of you -whitby maybe? can't remember... crossy is in cottage country. indiajan and carleekat are in london area

10:50 pm

joso

is he north or south of Georgian bay?

10:51 pm

joso

crossy that is

10:51 pm

TraderKate

south shore, not so bad... i don't know if he "advertises where he lives..

10:51 pm

joso

2 hour drive

10:51 pm

TraderKate

..s o i won't say here.. we should set up one of those group e-mail thingies...

10:53 pm

joso

he's mentioned Georgian bay, but getting here from the north side or south side is a world of difference

10:53 pm

TraderKate

ya, we tossed around a few different ideas, but i haven't seen the london area contingent in a while, so i don't know if they're on board. crossy sees them more because they are on during the day. probably wouldn't be until the traffic dies down a bit. maybe mid september? still nice weather for a patio cruise ;)

10:54 pm

joso

sounds nice, please keep me in the loop

10:54 pm

TraderKate

if i do find myself wandering toward TO i will certainly let you know though. i do have an errand up that way, but no definite time frame for it.

10:55 pm

TraderKate

i think the go train runs until the end of september, have to check. otherwise go bus, canada coach or via rail

10:56 pm

joso

or a passing american babbler

10:56 pm

TraderKate

lol, it could happen! you never know with these babbling types ;)

10:57 pm

joso

if any driving from the states there is a good chance they pass near you

10:58 pm

TraderKate

shameless is starting soon, i may fade in and out....too bad it's on so late :( i should be in bed, or at least finishing hte grid...still 73 here but into the de words now :)

10:59 pm

TraderKate

seems to be a lot more cross-border babbling on the west coast joso...they're always meeting up here and there. another one is in the works now i think

10:59 pm

joso

where is scrab from?

11:00 pm

TraderKate

she's southern tier outside buffalo a bit

11:00 pm

TraderKate

easy travelling distance :) i'd love to meet scrabs!

11:01 pm

joso

she was who told me, sounded like she was planning to come

11:02 pm

TraderKate

i know she got up to niagara falls ny not long ago. she was meeting ???? can't remember now... it'll come to me...

11:02 pm

TraderKate

she may be planning to come this way again, dunno. she sounds busy doing the finger lakes etc.

11:03 pm

TraderKate

i will have to ask her next time i see her.. or if you see her first...

11:05 pm

TraderKate

oooh found a 7 :)

11:07 pm

joso

I'll mention it next time I see her

11:08 pm

TraderKate

ty joso, i have only seen her in passing a few times lately. see more of her in the fb feed...

11:09 pm

joso

me mentioning gives her an easier way to say no if she wants

11:10 pm

joso

no pressure request.

11:10 pm

TraderKate

i don't think she'll have any problem saying no if she doesn't want to come, but she is very busy

11:11 pm

Naches girl

Nana

11:11 pm

TraderKate

Hi, everyone! (((Kate))) Tried to em you on Fri. but the em address didn't go through.

11:32 pm

TraderKate

11:33 pm

TraderKate

ty book and cos.. trying to grt it now

11:34 pm

TraderKate

the heavens just opened upwide here! it's raining cats and dogs :)

11:34 pm

MimiCat

It seems to work when I reply to yours, though. Send me one soon. And I soooo wish I could join you guys for the meet up there! One of my best friends is in Edmonton right now at a conference either about the planet Pluto or meteororites...forget which.

11:35 pm

MimiCat

Wouldn't mind a puppy or kitten here.......

11:36 pm

TraderKate

11:37 pm

TraderKate

11:37 pm

MimiCat

My friend is a tenured prof in astrophysics and gets NASA grants all the time so he goes all over the world for conferences. Just came back from Chile where he received a very prestigious invitation to use their telescope which is supposed to now be the best in the world.

11:39 pm

MimiCat

Yeah, I know it's far, Kate. Kind of like if someone says they're going to visit Chicago and someone says, "Well I have a friend in Florida." And, no, not nearly enough rain this year. One day of monsoon weather when we should have a couple of weeks...sad.

11:41 pm

MimiCat

Moonwuff and I are going to have a mini-meetup around Christmas here in Scottsdale. Maybe we can get some of the western folks to join us. Pretty time of year in December.

11:42 pm

TraderKate

does your friend want an aide de camp? i'd love to see the observatory in chile, i have read a bit about it, though htese days it's all about the computers doing the calculations to "see" rather than peeinr through a lens :(
i just sent you a "blank e-mail" for you to bounce back to me mimi

11:42 pm

MimiCat

OK, gotta go and get some rest...early day tomorrow. Good to touch base. Oh, and hi, cosdem--it's been a while. Anyway, later, and hugs all around. Send me an em, Kate.

11:42 pm

TraderKate

you should get ruru to come...he's one of the closer ones to you, isn't he?

11:43 pm

TraderKate

{{{{mimi}}}}
sweet sleeps see ya soon

11:44 pm

TraderKate

i have a feeling these are fishy...
he 6/21, he 7/32 (combo?) i have the other he words... if anyone can clue please?

11:44 pm

MimiCat

If he did need need one, Kate, I'd be first in line! Yes, I'd like to get ruru and Jilly and ibdawg and kje..etc. But we were thinking about a meet in northern CA for that one....I adore that area.

11:44 pm
