Yvooria, is the new plot well drained? Or is that something you would need to do before building?

2:52 am

Yvooria

well, it's sort of on a ridge so pretty good drainage... but all the good builders around here install french drains as well

2:53 am

puglet

blisters where and from what

2:54 am

grannyrose

blisters along suture line, from a reaction between skin prep. used during surgery and the gum of the steri strips. thin paper strips used to hold skin edges together.

2:54 am

gapeach

That's great. We had to have a drain installed when we moved to GA in 1977. We were on a slope, not much of one, but when a hard rain came the water backed up to the driveway.....I had the dog and cat in the car and ready to get out of there....LOL

2:54 am

grannyrose

Oh, yes, we had a poodle and and a tabby cat named Skitter...poodle's name was Beau. They lived to be very old. It was rather difficult at first because the house wasn't quite finished and we had to take bag and baggage to a motel for a couple of weeks.

"Whatever" has topped the annoying word charts for five straight years.

"The word can be very dismissive and rude," said Mary Griffith, media director for Marist. "It's a put-down to some extent and it can signal to the other person that what they are saying is not important."

3:14 am

puglet

this is my first outing since the 3rd and Iam so looking forwards to it too

3:15 am

o-o

I am ok, rose. I get into less trouble when I only converse with the walls and ceiling.

3:16 am

grannyrose

exactly, o-o. and do you realise that the use of 'yeah, right' is an example of two positives meaning a negative?

3:16 am

puglet

I didnt know that OO or Rose

3:16 am

grannyrose

lol, o-o. i seem to spend a lot of time talking to the trees and breeze.

3:17 am

puglet

are they talking back to you?

3:18 am

grannyrose

poor pugs, life can be so unkind. hope you can make the most of it, dear. any chance of a coffee/tea while you are out?

3:18 am

gapeach

Rose, it is alright to talk to trees but have you begun hugging them?

3:18 am

gapeach

Also, pug, asked an interesting question.

3:19 am

o-o

for sure. They tell me I am great to have around ... they do not have many chances to feel superior

3:19 am

grannyrose

*giggle* no pe5. but my words keep being blown back into my face.

3:19 am

puglet

its not that bad Rose mostly--but I have one tank of gas to last the month so I use my outing time wisely

3:19 am

grannyrose

awww, o-o. you know you are the better person.

3:20 am

gapeach

LOL...o-o. Good one.

3:20 am

o-o

3:21 am

grannyrose

3:21 am

gapeach

Sweet dreams, Rose.

3:25 am

gapeach

No, pug, I still need 24. Did you finish the grid?

3:25 am

puglet

3:25 am

gapeach

How many more days left to work on it?

3:26 am

gapeach

Oh, goodness, pug, I've had the list all along and still just bumbling along.

3:27 am

Yvooria

3:27 am

puglet

well you are close to being done

3:27 am

gapeach

o-o. I enjoyed reading your profile....profound as usual. The advice was excellent also.

3:29 am

gapeach

Yvooria, I would be glad to help you if I could.

3:29 am

Yvooria

you'd bring me Diet Dr. Pepper as I peck at the keys ;)

3:30 am

gapeach

Pug, please enjoy your outing time. You deserve it.

3:31 am

gapeach

Handing Yvooria a Diet Dr. Pepper.....careful, I filled the glass a little full.

gapeach

3:33 am

gapeach

I just told another lie.....but I will remember now.

3:33 am

Yvooria

3:34 am

puglet

did you know the seed inside the peach pit smells and taste like Dr. Pepper

3:34 am

gapeach

OK, that didn't sound quite right.....of course I'll remember now.....trick is will I remember it, in say, two hours hence?

3:35 am

Yvooria

lol

3:35 am

gapeach

I didn't know that, puglet.....interesting.

3:37 am

o-o

So, puglet, you are an expert pit sniffer. Impressive!

3:38 am

puglet

lol--I wouldnt say an expert--but it was pointd to me years ago

3:39 am

gapeach

HAHAHAHAHA! Thank goodness ruru isn't here (or is he), I can imagine what he would do with that question.

3:40 am

puglet

I dont know how they get the taste of Dr. Pepper, but Ive wonder if it was from that----oh you are so right Peach--lol

3:46 am

o-o

I heard Dr Pepper is the largest purchaser of peach pits.

3:46 am

puglet

I feel like Iam just sitting here staring at letter with a empty brain-lol

3:47 am

puglet

is that a true statement OO or are you pulling my leg?

3:48 am

o-o

Well, do you feel a tug?

3:48 am

puglet

cant say that I do :)

3:51 am

gapeach

Yvooria, I have a real problem....I just went into the other room and a screw fell out of my chair. I sat down and tried to find out where it came from, but couldn't see any place.....afraid that it may come apart before I can get back to bedroom.....need to go up front first.

3:52 am

Yvooria

the chair that you usually sit in?

3:52 am

gapeach

I have my cell in my pocket.....if I don't come back and turn this off, should I call you?

3:52 am

Yvooria

i was just going to suggest that you have your phone with you

3:53 am

gapeach

OK, I will roll slowly.

3:53 am

Yvooria

be careful

3:55 am

puglet

do you have someone to come help you Peach

3:58 am

gapeach

I made it so far. I will call Ricky and have him come here and fix it. This is really scary. Y'all say a prayer that I make it into the next room , please. Blessings.

3:58 am

5:04 am

5:05 am

sprite

5:05 am

puglet

your feet feeling any better

5:06 am

puglet

Rose needs you on her case--lol---shes doing too much on swollen feet :(----you know her!

5:06 am

sprite

no, feet just as bad. Couldn't get the zippers from my ankle boots down yesterday after singing, they were so swollen. Will phone the doc in an hour to hear about the blood tests.

5:07 am

sprite

argh yes, poor rose.

5:08 am

puglet

you should keep them elivated as much as possible, that will help----if you arent already

5:09 am

sprite

no, am not, it is hell on my back to have my feet up. I know I should... just haven't found out a way that isn't worse than the feet, lol.

5:09 am

puglet

you might need to wear some of those (what they call here) ted-hose or socks

5:10 am

puglet

what about laying?

5:10 am

sprite

oh God I hope not

5:10 am

sprite

5:11 am

puglet

I think Rose is having to wear them

5:11 am

sprite

but but but I am not even 50 yet...

5:11 am

puglet

giggles---if it hurts to sit with them up then what about laying down on the bed and putting them up

5:12 am

puglet

tell your legs that! lol

5:13 am

sprite

yes, should do that. And on the couch. That is how we got the boots off yesterday, lol... my love put me on the couch with my feet up and about 15 mins later he could pull the zippers down.

5:13 am

sprite

lolol hey you legs, behave like 50 year olds right now!

5:13 am

puglet

your couch have a arm on it that you can somewhat elivate them

5:14 am

sprite

not really. But I can work around that. ah well, we will figure it out.

5:14 am

puglet

or do you have a table with sturrips--LOL

5:14 am

sprite

roflololollllll

5:15 am

puglet

I can just picture you like that and hubby walking in--LOL

5:16 am

sprite

5:16 am

sprite

hehehe he'd have a litter of kittens, I think

5:16 am

puglet

I would say He would really want to know whats going on in your head then-lol

5:17 am

sprite

I think so too. And have a couple ideas himself probably, grin

5:18 am

puglet

I think you would be right on that!

5:18 am

puglet

but you should really try getting them up somehow

5:19 am

sprite

yes, I should. Will look into it and find a way, pug.

5:19 am

puglet

okay, done preaching

5:19 am

sprite

lol

5:20 am

puglet

Iam going to get out at last! Taking sister to doctors this morning and Iam taking advantage of getting out too if its just window shopping

5:21 am

sprite

oh how lovely, pug. Finally. You must feel like a kid being let out of school!

5:21 am

puglet

close! Its raining here so that adds to the joy of it too

5:22 am

sprite

wouldn't for me but for you guys overthere it is different, I guess

5:23 am

puglet

5:24 am

puglet

I think Rose said it was 104 there

5:24 am

sprite

argh!

5:24 am

puglet

I do not like that kind of heat

5:25 am

sprite

me neither. Way too hot for me.

5:27 am

puglet

I gave annapooh a bath yesterday and since it was coolish I was going to use the blow dryer on her----yeah right! she went crazy everytime I got close to her with it--lol--------so ended up towel drying as much as I could and then wrapped her in a blanket

5:29 am

sprite

that is how we dry Terra too. Toweling like mad and then wrapping in a towel and a blanket.

5:30 am

puglet

does she like bathing

5:31 am

sprite

no he doesn't, he is such a sorry sight when we have to bath him, lol. Like he is being tortured. But he likes the cuddling up in a blanket part.

5:32 am

puglet

for Beulah and Else I have to put them in the shower---though they dont mind getting a bath, I end up just as wet as well as the whole bathroom

5:33 am

puglet

annapooh is small enough I can do her at the sink and she likes her baths too

5:33 am

sprite

lol. We don't have a bath so we always put Terra in the shower with us. We don't even try to stay dry anymore. One goes in with Terra and the other takes over after washing.

5:34 am

puglet

time I get done with the big dogs my back is killing me for its all bend over

5:35 am

sprite

indeed! Am so happy we picked a small breed. Couldn't manage otherwise.

5:35 am

5:39 am

jmcnrick

5:40 am

puglet

5:40 am

lol,scrabby,yes,some have carbs

7:19 am

Scrabbler

There they are!

7:20 am

and cholesterol bombs as well

7:24 am

bacon does time travel!! is there nothing it cannot do? lol

You eat a paleo-type diet--fat/protein dominate--which is healthy because of low carb intake.

I hike in summer, i snowshoe in winter, i get the canoe on the water in the summer and eat what I love. we are all a worm feast in 100 years anyways;) you will be proud of me that I get almost all my base foods from the farm now however and eat more greens

7:36 am

7:36 am

westford

my husband was admitted to hospital yesterday for tests..I can't tell the kids until we know something definite

7:36 am

crosshair

cancer tests?

7:36 am

Scrabbler

And our DNA dictates so much of our health.

7:37 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, westford.

7:37 am

Riverdance

oh no westford - what is wrong?

7:37 am

Riverdance

dire

7:37 am

Riverdance

oops...sorry

7:37 am

westford

here's the back story ..yesterday morning at 7:30 I called down to him in his basement office ( he works at home) and asked if he wanted coffee

7:37 am

Aloyisius

sorry for the stress, westford

7:37 am

Riverdance

sigh..stroke I think

7:39 am

crosshair

sorry,westford,continue

7:40 am

westford

then his speech corrected, he could lift his arms, no dizziness or weakness. About an hour later he said he was going to Urgent Care which is a mile away. We were expecting a delivery so he drove himself. I should have gone with him.

7:41 am

westford

The docs at urgent care called the rescue squad and sent him to the hospital. Now the keys are in his jacket pocket, the car is at urgent care and we only have the one car

7:41 am

Aloyisius

call a neighbor/friend?

7:41 am

crosshair

get the hospital to fed-ex the keys,then it is a small thing to go the mile to urgent care

7:42 am

crosshair

yes,or a friend to assist

7:42 am

Scrabbler

How far away is the hospital?

7:42 am

westford

that's not too much of a problem. I can call a cab to get the keys and see him but they have scheduled him for tests today. He had an mri and they think he might have experienced a tia ?

7:43 am

westford

no friends here, the kids are spread far and wide and my brother cares for my 97 year old mother

7:43 am

crosshair

sounds much like a stroke, westford, though scrabby would know better than i.

7:43 am

Scrabbler

Yes, sounds like a TIA--"mini-stroke."

7:43 am

frogface

you have better healthcare than we have, when my dad had his tia, they could just about be bothered to send a locum out to the house, he wasn't given any tests or told to go to hospital

7:44 am

crosshair

yup.my brother in law had one last september

7:44 am

westford

he went in at 10:30 and they had not given him anything to eat by 8:00 p.m. because the therapist needed to see him and they all went home

7:44 am

JBV

hi west - just stopping in to offer my support to you and hubby - and if I may say so, in emergencies like this, an unknown neighbor may become a friend, I would not hesitate to ask a neighbor even if they've never helped before

7:44 am

Riverdance

they say when they catch it early enough all will be well

7:44 am

Mom

The car can wait. Get a cab and go to the hospital. You can be there to speak with the doctors and be of comfort to your sweet husband. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband, Westford.

7:45 am

Scrabbler

Hi frogface and JBV

7:45 am

crosshair

yes,they get that thinner med on board,the clot buster

7:45 am

westford

There. I feel better now. He is the picture of health, never lets anything bother him

7:45 am

Yes, good advice, Mom.

I agree with Mom - he would love to see you, westford, it's no fun being in a hospital alone

7:46 am

Aloyisius

hi Mom

7:46 am

Mom

HI Aloy

7:46 am

Scrabbler

Just be with him now so he gets comfort, and you can ask questions of the medical folks.

7:46 am

Mom

((Crossy))) good morning

7:46 am

crosshair

what scrabby said

7:47 am

westford

I am going to the hospital even if I have to walk there..I spoke to him on the phone last night..he sounded tired and said he was hungry but otherwise felt fine. The doctors said they would put him through the ringer today to find out what's going on.

7:47 am

Anniebrook

((Mom)) How nice to see you

7:47 am

MollyL

West, I am sorry about your husband. I will keep you both in my prayers.

7:47 am

Anniebrook

westford, call a cab and get to the hospital. The car will be there.

7:47 am

Mom

(((Annie))) so good to see you as well.
I had a few minutes and thought I would hop on

7:48 am

Anniebrook

Mom, You hopped with good advice.

7:48 am

frogface

sounds like he's in the best place, hope he gets well soon westford

7:49 am

Riverdance

and please call your children....they should know what is going on even if you dont know yet....I would be very upset if my Mom did not let me know

7:49 am

Scrabbler

Yep, he will have lots of tests--blood work, sonogram of carotid arteries in the neck, maybe an angiogram to look at neck and brain vessels.

7:50 am

Anniebrook

He probably had the "clot buster" by now

7:50 am

JBV

more advice - although you didn't ask for it : ) - bring lots to read (and eat) - you will probably have long waits while he's being tested, but he will at least know you're nearby

7:50 am

crosshair

((westford)) grab a book and off to the hospital with you and we all give our best to your husband. strokes caught early ehough can be dealt with

7:50 am

crosshair

I would think so, annire

7:52 am

Mom

I agree with River, call the children

7:52 am

Anniebrook

west, your hubby was smart to get himeself to Urgent Cre

7:52 am

Mom

agree, Crossy. It is so important to catch them early

7:53 am

Mom

I also agree with JBV, you will be waiting. Perhaps crocheting or knitting if you do those things

7:55 am

Scrabbler

Done with the grid--with much help from Morewords.com. Time for breakfast. Maybe I will be back tonight.

7:55 am

westford

You are all the best. So you think I should call the kids ? One daughter is in San Diego, one is in Washington state, one is in Northampton, MA and son is in Fitchburg. I'm in RI. We are having our family Christmas on the 29th.

7:55 am

Last night
I lost my grip on reality
And welcomed insanity.
Love
Saw me and said,
I showed up.
Wipe your tears and be silent.

I said O Love
I am frightened,
But it is not you.
Love said to me,
There is nothing that is not me.
Be silent.

there were coach loads of them, and i have no problems with the French as such but they are rude, but not meaning to be, they just come across as such.we queue, they don't and they're very impatient and not good with lifts

3:53 pm

ChrissieDee

It is thanks lilliann. Looking forward to Christmas and having the family home

3:53 pm

mab

the queue has always escaped the french

3:54 pm

mab

britons do excel there

3:54 pm

hego

and the Itlaians

3:54 pm

lilliann

i hope you have a wonderful family Christmas Chrissie

3:54 pm

mab

in my part of the u.s. we queue, but ambiguously

3:55 pm

lilliann

we'll be on a plane as usual am very much looking forward to it:)

3:55 pm

hego

we queue.

3:55 pm

hego

and God help anyone who tries to cut the line.

3:56 pm

mab

we do the scatter queue. people are sort of staggered and it is not always clear who goes next

3:57 pm

lilliann

yes, alot of the europeans aren't good at queueing, when we've been to places that our american and canadian friends go, you do all queue, but maybe not how we do :)

3:57 pm

lilliann

that's it, the stagger queue..lol

3:58 pm

mab

if all conditions are promising we urge another person should go first - the no, no, you have fewer items, you go first, etc.

3:58 pm

lilliann

i wasn't being nasty to my american or canadian friends by saying that by the way.us english are just too much into queueing and it has to be right :D

3:59 pm

mab

not at all. you say nothing amiss.

3:59 pm

lilliann

we do that too, well, some of us

3:59 pm

hego

yes, we do that mab.

4:00 pm

mab

when i'm cross, this annoys me. just go, i want to scream.

4:00 pm

mab

but only on a bad day

4:00 pm

hego

lol, go already.

4:00 pm

lilliann

if people just push infront of me without asking or saying 'excuse me' then i get wheelchair rage and ram their ankles, gently

4:01 pm

lilliann

unless they've really annoyed me and also depends on my mood on that day...lol

4:02 pm

crosshair

we queue,but we are smart about it,we take numbers

4:02 pm

crosshair

lol@ wheelchair rage as I picture Lillian running them down

4:02 pm

mab

ha ha :D serves them right.

4:02 pm

hego

I have done my stints in a chair and was amazed at how rude people were to me.

4:03 pm

mab

i like numbers

4:03 pm

hego

Like they look right over you and don't see you there.

4:03 pm

lilliann

we have those number machines too crossy but majority of people don't take one and will push in, that annoys me.why have them if no-one uses them and the staff behind the counters never say anything

4:03 pm

hego

I like numbers too.

4:03 pm

4:05 pm

ch1212

Gee, hego... and here I was, trying to figure out a clever way to clue that. :D!! Love it!

4:05 pm

hego

she should get that clue. lol

4:05 pm

crosshair

hego,my beloveds eye sight is very bad 20/400 and as such she has zero depth perception and has problems going in and out of building from natural to artificial light .she uses the white cane known world wide to assist her with curbs,sidewalks and anyplace that may have stair or elevators. I am sad to say that in grocery stores, our general public is not much better.i have to almost push people out of the way to stop them from running her over

4:05 pm

lilliann

very true hego, that really annoys me, especially when they stop with their trolleys right infront of me and they've seen me behind them and they block the whole aisle.i just push it to the opposite side from them and go slowly by :)

4:05 pm

lilliann

(((lilllll))))

4:06 pm

lilliann

good clue hego :D

4:06 pm

hego

I believe it Crossy.

4:06 pm

mab

good for you lill

4:07 pm

hego

ch12, I was also.

4:07 pm

lilliann

yes, sadly, i've seen that too Crossy, i normally say something and if they don't hear me or are ignoring me(which i can tell) then i get their ankles too :)

4:08 pm

hego

We must send Lill one of those air horns.

4:08 pm

lilliann

<----as in with blind people

4:09 pm

hego

You know the ones that blast your eardrums out.

4:09 pm

mab

or plays a tune

4:09 pm

lilliann

i'd use it just for fun and to wind people up hego

4:09 pm

hego

it would be great...lol

4:10 pm

lilliann

oohh, actually, i have one that my hubby gave me a couple of years ago.it would be great to go around a big supermarket now and use it :)

4:11 pm

crosshair

Lillian,if you use a cell phone,there is a very nice air horn app you can get.it is very loud in crowded and confined spaces

4:11 pm

hego

I hear an evil laugh....

4:12 pm

hego

good idea Crossy

4:12 pm

crosshair

or go to any store that sells or services boats,they will have those nice small air horn cannisters

4:12 pm

mab

perhaps a few flares would be useful :)

4:13 pm

lilliann

especially this time of year.i was with the bairn yesterday at a supermarket and there was this couple blocking the meat section, arguing over which meat to get for Christmas.they were there for 10 minutes and then when they had bought their food he then blocked the aisle from the tills and then he walked out infront of us in the middle of the road, when we were int he car.dozy man!!(but i did use a stronger word than that at the time) :)

4:14 pm

hego

:)

4:14 pm

mab

strong words were surely called for

4:15 pm

mab

boors

4:15 pm

lilliann

ooh, i'll have to look for an app crossy, but it can't be high pitched or low toned.i have a reverse beep on my mobility scooter but i had to get rid of it as it makes me dizzy

4:15 pm

lilliann

they were Mab, and i don't swear very often

4:16 pm

mab

christmas time is the worst

4:16 pm

mab

people do misbehave at xmas in shopping situations

4:16 pm

lilliann

that's why i hate this time of year as it gets so busy and the shops cover every inch of their floor space, which is hard to get around for people with dissabilities and family with prams.the shops are only closed for one day!!

4:18 pm

mab

that's just willful insensitivity. and greed.

4:19 pm

hego

and not in the holiday spirit.

4:21 pm

mab

and as for mrs. crossy, evil uses of a white cane come to mind. perhaps it's wrong, but really it's so annoying when disabled people are expected to be passive.

4:21 pm

lilliann

it annoys me as there are some shops that i really like and can't get into as i can't get up some of their isles as they are so full. i have knocked a few things over in the past and felt guilty and picked them up even though i still couldn't get up an isle i wanted to and now if i knock something over i leave it, to make a point but it doesn't seem to make any difference as able bodied people can knock over the displays aswell because of where they are placed.one day i will knock over a huge display on purpose!!

4:22 pm

hego

Go Lillian!!

4:23 pm

crosshair

the cane has an interesting feature. it has a large white hard plastic bit that spins on bearings to allow the vision impaired to asses the width of a sidewalk quickly and with eash. this end ,when the cane is swung briskly can make even the strongest person limp away to figure out where they went wrong in life

4:23 pm

lilliann

i feel sorry for parents with prams aswell, especially if they have double buggies, they are in the same predicament as me and other disabled people, and when i could walk,and pushed the bairn ina pushchair, it was a nightmare at times.you'd think the shops would learn by now as they actually miss out on alot of sales because of too much taking up little space

4:25 pm

hego

I can just see Mrs Crossy withan evil grin on her face and her cane swinging.

4:25 pm

lilliann

i'm glad it has a double use crossy :)

4:25 pm

crosshair

she aims for the ankles,knees and at need male private parts

4:26 pm

Oh, my!

4:28 pm

I find that some of the newer us chain bix box stores that have invaded us are the worst (Wal-Mart) Target etc.they crap things to the rim, and make the asiles half the width and just buy the shoopers narrowere carts to push up and down th asiles

Thanks

4:34 pm

crosshair

for a interesting read on the way Wal-Mart runs and it business practices just google "the man who said no to Wal-Mart" it is an eye opener

4:35 pm

lilliann

our supermarkets have alot of things now whichis why so many of our local small shops have closed down because they can't compete which is such a shame but we don't have anything on the size of wal-mart.saying that, it's us as in shoppers fault really for the little shops closing down as we go to the big shops and can buy almost anything in them so it is quicker and easier for us

4:35 pm

lilliann

4:38 pm

crosshair

the smaller independent shops can only win with unique custom items that wal- mart decides they cannot make enough margin on

4:38 pm

mab

small shops just can't compete with big store prices and people can't afford not to shop there.

4:38 pm

true, crossy.

4:39 pm

luckily for me, i live in a small village and we have some shops that are used regularly, but some have closed throughout the years, i just hope that the others can keep going, especially with everything going up in price, especially gas and electric

my futon is a prime example. in Wal-Mart i can get a tubular steel frame futon make in bangledesh or Taiwan or india or wherever for $347.37 + tax. Instead i went to a small wood working/furniture shop and had them make me one out of local maple and local material,made buy local workers who in turn will spend their money in local shops. I cost me $600 dollars but is solid and will last me a lifetime

4:41 pm

i think the wood ones are a hell of alot better crossy as i have one since i was 15 and it is 39 years old and is still great to lie on, but i know of someone who bought one that was metal framed and it didn't last a year

4:45 pm

lilliann

i have a friend who got his very first apartment about ten years ago and what he did was leave all the rooms empty and save for each piece one at a time. for example he had a bean bag chair and a tv tray in the livingroom for most of a year until he had saved for the chesterfield and table he wanted. same with the bedroom. the clothes were in packing boxes for months until it came time to save for the dresser

4:49 pm

lilliann

no it isn't, wrong word, it is jerky movements witha rein on a horse and eye movements

4:50 pm

lilliann

no mab, some people like that type of clue. i do when i know it, but don't when i don't :D

4:50 pm

mab

i think that's a good thing too, crossy, but our capitalist system makes people think they have to buy stuff right now.

4:50 pm

buy local, buy quality, buy it once.

5:17 pm

ok.here is crossy's perfect martini: take a large matini glass out of the freezer and add 3 ounces of gin or vodka, now get a long,serling silver cocktail sword and impale three pearl onions on it(3 olives for gin) and gently place into the drink so as to not bruise the alcoho,now lean over the glass and whisper" Antonio Benedetto Carpano " and add a twist of lemon or lime and serve.

5:18 pm

I would be under the table after drinking that crossy :)

you munch the onions off the cocktail sword while waiting for your next drink

5:20 pm

MimiCat

I was trying to decide what to have for dinner, but think I'm too tired for dinner. Hey, this is great...making lots of money and too tired to eat, so will get skinny....and simultaneously drunk!

5:20 pm

Nef

Somehow, picturing me trying to munch onions off a cocktail sword sounds extremely dangerous (especially after drinking alcohol!)

5:20 pm

crosshair

i used to wave the bottle of vermouth over the drink,mab,but there was always the chance of spillage.safer this way

5:20 pm

lilliann

believe me, by the time i'd muched the onions the drink wouldn't have been placed quick enough :)

7:24 pm

lilliann

i didn't realize so many people did welki, i didn't think i was liked that much so it is really heart felt to know that people do care. that is why i love babble so much, even if we argue and don't all get along, we still care for others

7:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, but also up to elvis. not hard compared to west coast, at least some decent basics. linfy hop is more advanced

well, as i've learnt, we can't please all people all or any of the time.all our personalities are different, the same as our sense of humours.it doesn't help that we all live in other countries as words and meanings are different so what pleases one, upsets another, but that's life!

I always feel that this is a place for fun and friends. Sometimes I get serious, sometimes I "dump" frustrations here since there are so many I consider as friends here. If someone doesn't like that;I'm sorry but that's too bad

jesdraggon

10:07 pm

bogster

I will trade clues for the ch0 for the ac 8

10:07 pm

Jacula

mab - 3rd re5/14 is having done again. 4th re5/14 is to dunk something in again.

10:07 pm

bogster

10:07 pm

mab

yes, jes

10:07 pm

jesdraggon

10:07 pm

10:08 pm

mab

10:08 pm

Jacula

bogster - ch9 = what you are like (personality wise) or a ch9 in a book or film.

10:08 pm

bogster

I have the 9 looking for the ac 8

10:09 pm

Jacula

bogster - if you are of good ch9 - you might get the job. If you are not, you probably won't.

10:09 pm

penquis

it builds on the ac 6/27...

10:09 pm

Jacula

ac8/55 - someone who ac6/27s.

10:09 pm

10:14 pm

bogster

10:15 pm

rururocks

he loves those Bfunnies

10:16 pm

Jacula

Tee, hee! at ruru's comment.

10:17 pm

Jacula

However, if he hasn't got the ad7/36 yet, it wouldn't hurt to take the hf off the start of the bunny club word.

10:19 pm

Jacula

I'm going to wander off now. Not sure when I'll be back, so I'll wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year now. xx

10:19 pm

10:19 pm

rururocks

I can't keep my eyes open

10:19 pm

bogster

interesting way to offer a clue

10:20 pm

rururocks

maybe a nice nap will help

10:20 pm

Jacula

I like to be subtle, bogster. Off to examine the inside of my eyelids for a while now.

10:21 pm
