when you've had a wall vac for over 40 years, you don't pay much attention to vacuum cleaner ads

12:38 am

jbp

yay nan!

12:38 am

jbp

a wall vac?

12:39 am

jillibus

nan, one of our supermarkets does give-away draws and that vac is offered sometimes.

12:40 am

jbp

12:40 am

VolleymomDee

wtg

12:41 am

12:41 am

jbp

12:41 am

jbp

any good thoughts you can send his way would be much appreciated.

12:42 am

jbp

Ikeep telling him and his girlfriend to stop it with the bedroom gymnastics, but ... yeah. ;-)

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

so very sorry to hear, jb

12:42 am

jillibus

wall vac -- attachments in the walls to which you connect a vac hose, and the collector bin is in the basement or something. I have one but don't use it.

12:42 am

jbp

12:42 am

1:10 am

helensgirlkid

gapeach - try ecd and see if you don't come up with something

1:11 am

gapeach

Thanks much, helen.....looking now.

1:11 am

Lizlin

Hi again :)

1:12 am

Lizlin

Peach, try ec + a make of vacuum cleaner

1:13 am

Lizlin

If you highlight what Dee wrote about the insect and put it into your search engine, it also comes up with the word.

1:14 am

gapeach

I don't know how to do that, Liz.....but will try....thannks

1:14 am

helensgirlkid

I had not realized that we could come up with so many words based on the same precise root derivative, without once using the word for a practitioner of the ecd* arts!

1:15 am

Lizlin

Highlight what Dee wrote, then copy and paste it into your search engine.

1:15 am

Lizlin

Or the white bar at the top of the page where the www. addresses appear.

1:16 am

Lizlin

ec + rhymes with a word for the small cubes used for gaming (pl)

1:17 am

helensgirlkid

I think maybe she's off Goggling!

1:18 am

Lizlin

So difficult to know how to clue it.

1:18 am

Lizlin

Peach - jbp gave a HUGE clue at 12.36!

1:18 am

helensgirlkid

And yet once you're onto it - there's a treasure trove of words.

1:19 am

Lizlin

Such weird words though!

1:19 am

Lizlin

But totally logical.

1:20 am

helensgirlkid

That's true enough. I'm about to conk out, I'd bettter go to bed. Wishing all luck, esp. you and gapeach.

1:20 am

Lizlin

Sleep well :)

1:21 am

gapeach

Thank you, helen. Sweet dreams.

1:22 am

Lizlin

Peach did you see jbp's clue at 12.36?

1:24 am

gapeach

Yes, I did, Liz. I went online and found a word for the sheddiing of skin ....only 6 letters though.

1:24 am

Lizlin

If you add the word that jbp wrote to the ec, you'll have one of the ec 7s

1:25 am

grannyrose

cooee and g'day from me

1:25 am

flosey

hi rose

1:25 am

gapeach

Oh, thanks so much, Liz.

1:25 am

Lizlin

The first 5 letters are identical on the ec 7 7 8 9 8, Peach.

1:25 am

grannyrose

how are you flosey?

1:25 am

Lizlin

Hi Rose

1:25 am

grannyrose

hey ya liz

1:26 am

flosey

good thanks rose, and you?

1:26 am

Lizlin

What did the doc say today?

1:26 am

grannyrose

a little better, thanx. doc says i have a viral brochitis and laryngitis.on antibiotics in case.

1:27 am

grannyrose

*bronchitis* duh

1:27 am

Lizlin

Don't do things by halves, do you?

1:27 am

flosey

ah nasty, sorry to hear that rose

1:27 am

grannyrose

just what are you saying, liz? lolol

1:27 am

Lizlin

I'd like to see you healthy and not in pain!

1:27 am

Lizlin

;)

1:28 am

grannyrose

n ot allowed to talk. don is over the moon. except if he wants to hear what i have to say, he has to get p and come over to me and i can whisper in his shell-pink. *giggle*

1:28 am

rururocks

Maybe some rest is in order granny

1:29 am

Lizlin

Sweet!

1:29 am

grannyrose

who for, ruru? me or don?

1:29 am

rururocks

Both of you

1:30 am

grannyrose

darn....well that's torn it for tonight, then. i had such plans....

1:30 am

Lizlin

A little bit of whispering can lead a long way ...

1:31 am

rururocks

You both have been sick a lot..maybe you are pushing yourselves too hard

1:31 am

Lizlin

And Don will be so happy to hear you again, when you have your voice back!

1:31 am

Lizlin

Good point, Ru.

1:31 am

grannyrose

you are probably quite correct, ruru. we have been pushing hard for a long time. butts on the ground, i guess.

1:32 am

gapeach

Helen, if you are still here.....I HAVE THEM ALL.

1:32 am

Lizlin

WTG Peach :)

1:33 am

gapeach

And Liz, thanks so much. Those words are new to me.

1:33 am

grannyrose

one thing for sure. once i have fully recovered from this lot of surgery, i will be very seriously considering retiring. i have had enough.

1:33 am

Lizlin

I suspect new to most people.

1:33 am

Lizlin

I can certainly recommend retirement - one of the best things I ever did!

1:35 am

rururocks

If only babble paid a salary ....

1:36 am

Lizlin

I like that thought!

1:37 am

grannyrose

oh, the latest in the saga of fanf and the MIL's will.

1:38 am

Lizlin

Ooooh! Spill the dirt!

1:38 am

rururocks

What is that ?

1:38 am

grannyrose

apparently fang has gone out and bought herself a new spa, on finance, because she would have the money to pay it off before any interest due.

1:39 am

Lizlin

Duh!!!!!

1:39 am

grannyrose

of, course, she has dragged her silly heels, and the money still hasn't come through

1:39 am

Lizlin

And have the repayments started?

1:40 am

grannyrose

she rang don frantic, the other day, we have to sign the probate form she says. so don gets on his bike, rides down, and finds out it's the banking form he has to sign.

1:40 am

Lizlin

What is with her?

1:40 am

grannyrose

and he doesn't have the banking details with him. and yes, THE REPAYMENTS HAVE STARTED. it is soooo ironic.

1:41 am

Lizlin

Poor Don - is he letting it get to him?

1:41 am

grannyrose

don't think so. he is too bemused by her antics.

1:42 am

Lizlin

Bemused is good - stressed not good.

1:43 am

flosey

does anyone have a clue for de7 please? my last word

1:43 am

grannyrose

with the way interest rates are, she will have spent 25% of her inheritance before she gets it.

1:43 am

Lizlin

Sorry, Flosey - don't have it yet.

1:43 am

rururocks

De plus a little flosey...

1:44 am

grannyrose

musical term, flosey, de6, pour into another container, add snake letter in third place

1:44 am

rururocks

Like skimpy underwear

1:44 am

Lizlin

More fool her, Rose.

1:44 am

Lizlin

Thanks, Rose and Ru

1:49 am

Lizlin

et 6 / 7 pls?

1:50 am

grannyrose

et + start of laughing animal + not south-west

1:51 am

Lizlin

5:19 am

crosshair

I did , however, find some tasty breakfast baked items = sc 5/12 and 6/21

5:24 am

jwr

what a load of wasted esses

5:25 am

crosshair

that is the pb for you jwr

5:26 am

jwr

oh good grief -- I don't believe I did that!

5:26 am

jwr

It would be funny if it weren't so stupid.

5:26 am

crosshair

lol

5:27 am

jwr

... i'm going ... i'm going

5:27 am

crosshair

what is even funnier is that i actually caught that

5:27 am

jwr

urk

5:28 am

crosshair

brrrr... minus 35 wind chill values today

5:28 am

crosshair

windows are all frozen shut and i can feel the cold pulsing off them in waves

5:28 am

jwr

hmph. well, it's just warm and dandy here in the pb. think I'll stay for awhile

5:29 am

crosshair

i will have a nice pot of tea ready soon for the pb anyways

5:31 am

jwr

uh oh. Is that the milky British kind? Really. You shouldn't! ... After all, you're the one who needs the warm up.

5:32 am

crosshair

no, not milky. i use only Ceylon Orange Pekoe and i brew it strong enough so you will have to arm wrestle it for the teaspoon

5:32 am

crosshair

and served is a thick mug, not a dainty tea cup. this is brio tea lol

5:33 am

jwr

Ahh, that's perfect. But back to you, out there on the frozen tundra: did you leave the hot water faucet running just a little?

5:33 am

jwr

Just remembering 20 below when I lived in Colorado.

5:33 am

crosshair

tea that, if you decide you do not wish to drink any more, you can use the remainder to clean the chrome rims on your car with it

5:34 am

crosshair

we have well insulated pipes here, but i have had places where you do have to leave the tap running just a bit in these temps, or else

5:35 am

jwr

You do that to gentle Orange Pekoe? How cruel. I suppose it's to go with the cement-textured oatmeal??

5:36 am

crosshair

yers ago, we used to have a place up north, and our primary source of heat was a central wood stove. it was the same thing every morning, everyone awake but nobody wanting to be the first to get up because the first person to get up have to get the fire going again from the coals and that floor was ice cold!

5:37 am

crosshair

you have not lived till you have to, after getting the fire going , break a scrim of ice off the water in the toilet bowl so you can have a pee

5:38 am

jwr

Not on my toi... uh .... bucket list, crossy

5:38 am

crosshair

crossy does not do oatmeal. oats are for horses:)

5:39 am

crosshair

at least till the doctor cuts me off all the other breakfast foods that i like

5:42 am

crosshair

anyways, time for crossy to hit the shower and hose down this mass of muscle, brb

5:44 am

jwr

What? You listen to your doctor? -- hey, these cross-conversations are making my head swim. Or maybe it's the tea. Either way, afraid I've gotta go back to work. Sending you a Japanese study wrap: it's like a "mummy" type sleeping bag or a big old gunny sack, made of eiderdown, open at the head. with eleastic sleeves that close at the wrist. You come steaming hot from a superheated bath into the bag, sit at your desk, and study away. Or Babble. ... me gotta go too bye

5:54 am

crosshair

crossy is back. Japanese " study wrap" ?? i must google this one. Sounds like something i should get for my better half. She is not a winter type of person :(

5:56 am

crosshair

mmm, google is having a tough time with it.:((

6:15 am

MollyL

Try "human sleeping bag"

6:18 am

crosshair

And it is time for Crossys shout out of the day!! today i would like to wish an early birthday to Misao Okawa , who will be 116 years old on March the 5th

6:23 am

crosshair

lol, the "human sleeping bag is just a glorified snowmobile suit lol. too funny

6:27 am

crosshair

7:43 am

Dorens

no, this time the more northern area of the state got none... apparently a late onslaught of cold air pushed the storm to the south

7:43 am

MollyL

Carrots, apples, raisins, coconut, pineapple and pecans. They are awesome.

7:43 am

Aloyisius

7:44 am

MollyL

LOL! That's original!

9:25 am

72 Temple Owl

that is just an awesome idea, wish i had seen that. although my firend scoffs at the commercial, new orleans version of mardi gras in favor of the traditional rural festival.

9:27 am

Judi

Now, a sequined lobster wearing a beaded dress would REALLY be original.

9:28 am

72 Temple Owl

11:27 am

bichon

Why are the ec's vacuum cleaners

11:28 am

doseffing

11:28 am

What is a "television ad brand of vaccum"?

11:30 am

Aloyisius

a vacuum that costs a lot and purports to do a superlative job.. door to door salesman and lots of advertising

11:30 am

doseffing

... someone typed it in the log about 5 minutes ago

11:31 am

Aloyisius

supposed to have LOTS of suction, I don't know, have never owned one but an old friend likes hers a lot

11:32 am

Aloyisius

rhymes with last name of boxer, Mike t****

11:32 am

dianedecoder

I've had mine for three years....love it...and superior to the newer models of Electrolux. NO door to door sales .

11:33 am

bichon

hint for the et 6/7, pls

11:33 am

Aloyisius

oh, ok

11:33 am

rubyfoo

this house has a central vacuum system which no longer works, just like the in-floor heating

11:33 am

rubyfoo

I think the wheels are coming off

11:34 am

rubyfoo

et6,7 like the gas but with a diff vowel

11:34 am

dianedecoder

I have, however, seen recent infomercials on the product.

11:35 am

bichon

ty ruby

11:36 am

MollyL

No door to door salespeople here for that brand, no TV commercials either. I've had mine for years and it is a great vacuum.

11:37 am

rubyfoo

Is that the dy brand, Molly? I'll have to see if they're available here as I think I need one....and soon or we will be smothered in dog hair and dander

11:37 am

bichon

My Lux is so old, but it works well

11:37 am

Aloyisius

if it is well made and durable, it has most others beat

11:38 am

MollyL

Ruby, they make a model specific for pet hair.

11:38 am

rubyfoo

And my washing machine is making a horrible noise in the last cycle and it's a Miele, supposed to be the best. NOT!!

11:38 am

bichon

No shedding here

11:39 am

rubyfoo

If Spring comes, this house will be unlivable

11:40 am

dianedecoder

Hang onto it bichon.... my old Lux was the "best" and is still my downstairs (basement) vacuum. ( It has a metal cannister and is over 40 years old!)

11:41 am

MollyL

I know someone who owns a vacuum repair shop. He has one of those vintage canister models in his store front window.

11:42 am

5:47 pm

Jillyjill

LOL..turned to list at about 60 left

5:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

is it brioce?

5:47 pm

Lizlin

Well, that was this morning - might've peeked at the list a bit last night!

5:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

and i LOVE the mask! I need to get one for saturday

5:48 pm

MLFAN17

i have the ta 5/12 a mexican food plural am i missing one before that? i cant tell by the list exactly?

5:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

milfan: if you are using lickety you HAVE to be ablle to tell that.

5:49 pm

Lizlin

2 x ta 5/12 before that - I have one, with a different vowel ending and I'm missing one!

5:49 pm

MollyL

Lickety's list shows 2 ta5/12 words before the mexican food

5:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

perhaps you are not using it correctly? or inputting directly into the list?

5:49 pm

MLFAN17

lol lizwe will find them wont we?:)

5:49 pm

MLFAN17

i know that molly

5:49 pm

Lizlin

Yup!

5:49 pm

MLFAN17

i am flipping back and forth

5:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

may i suggest copying your word list and pasting it into lickety?

5:50 pm

Jillyjill

brb

5:53 pm

MLFAN17

thke words dont go into lickety anyway whe i type them in when i find them in the grid

5:53 pm

MollyL

Oh my

5:54 pm

Lizlin

Mine also don't go in automatically - I copy / paste. Update every so often!

5:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes liz, that is the way. that tells you exsactly where any one word is in realtion the other

5:56 pm

MLFAN17

liz i have used different browsers and have never been able to get them to go in automatically even when i have had the list on the same page as the grid

5:56 pm

Lizlin

Certainly does!

5:56 pm

MLFAN17

how do you copy paste from one to the other?

5:56 pm

MLFAN17

i know how to copy paste generally speaking

5:57 pm

Lizlin

That's weird mlf - someone explained to me about bulk add in lickety early on when I joined babble.

5:57 pm

MLFAN17

liz same here

5:58 pm

MLFAN17

this si why i have trouble keeping track if the list were on same page which i dont have and have had t before and they would go in it would be easier

5:58 pm

MollyL

Lickety explains it pretty well on his page too.

5:58 pm

Lizlin

Tough for you!

5:58 pm

MLFAN17

liz tell me about it

5:58 pm

Lizlin

That was meant to sound sympathetic - but I don't think it did :(

5:59 pm

MLFAN17

i understood thanks lizi i appreciate it very much

6:00 pm

Lizlin

Fireworks!

6:00 pm

MLFAN17

congrats liz

6:00 pm

MollyL

Well done, naughty cluer : P

6:01 pm

Lizlin

Ty ;)

6:01 pm

Lizlin

But perhaps naughty clues are better than no clues!

6:01 pm

MollyL

Oh, they are better all the way around : D

6:01 pm

MLFAN17

i agree liz

6:01 pm

Lizlin

No one ever told me any rules to cluing!

6:02 pm

MollyL

Trust me, there are no rules here.

6:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

well there used to be but it seems they are no longer in force. naughty clues were never prohibited, though.

6:02 pm

Lizlin

Time to head off and make some granola! Except the thought of turning on the oven is not appealing!

6:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think they were. most times, encouraged.

6:03 pm

MLFAN17

it used to be that before 2am ie an hour after flip we could not ask for clues

6:03 pm

MollyL

What rules TO? (Serious question)

6:03 pm

Lizlin

Most people don't clue that early on - yesterday was an exception with that ec run of words.

6:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

it used to be that no one asked for clues unless it was half an hour before the flip and they had exhausted all other means.

6:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

and not everyone finished.

6:04 pm

MollyL

Oh come on. People clue at the flip all the time.

6:04 pm

MLFAN17

liz i can imagine

6:04 pm

MLFAN17

molly but it didnt used to be that way

6:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. yes they do.

6:04 pm

Lizlin

I think more stats than clues are given

6:05 pm

MLFAN17

for a while i didnt know of any means and ii had the list and board at the same time

6:05 pm

MollyL

Wow, no clues until half hour before the flip? That would be nice.

6:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

i dont understand flip culture. if i happen to be on then i hide chat.

6:05 pm

MLFAN17

liz probably more so lately yes

6:05 pm

Lizlin

I think I'd just list much earlier then!

6:05 pm

Lizlin

Flip's in the afternoon here - I either look or don't!

6:06 pm

MLFAN17

i dont know what flip culture is either

6:06 pm

MollyL

Flip time seems to have become very competitive. Who can find the words first and post about them. Not my idea of challenging in terms of playing this game.

6:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

molly: it was a real badge of honor to finish. i remember askiing the old timers how could you possibly know that word? they told me I would as well with time. and that happened.

6:06 pm

Lizlin

But then compared to you lot, I'm a real newbie here!

6:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

i was so happy the first time i did!

6:06 pm

MLFAN17

molly i love to call them out at flip its exciting

6:07 pm

Lizlin

True TO! Some of the babblets now are just obvious -words I really didn't know!

6:07 pm

MLFAN17

me too owl

6:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

and pardon me for asking this, again, molly...

6:10 pm

Lizlin

OK time to get the day properly started! Have a good evening all and feel better soon TO.

6:10 pm

MLFAN17

owl?

6:11 pm

MLFAN17

bye liz and thank you:)

6:11 pm

MLFAN17

bye liz and thank you:)

6:11 pm

Lizlin

did you get that other ta 5/12?

6:12 pm

MollyL

So many new players have no idea what a "babblet" is. So cluing a word "common babblet" doesn't help them a lot.

6:12 pm

MLFAN17

i have two ta 5/12's at the moment

6:12 pm

MLFAN17

i need one more word for the first column T but i will figure it out

6:12 pm

Lizlin

You're right Molly - I had a good teacher in rolin!

6:12 pm

MLFAN17

molly lol nope but it will eventually

6:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty liz.i am taking a break

6:15 pm

MLFAN17

now i need one more ta 5/12 i have the one under the first ta 4/5 or the first word in the list of TA words

8:28 pm

phandmd

how are you, Jane?

8:29 pm

harpjane

not bad phan, and you?

8:29 pm

phandmd

I think I might be coming down with a cold. I have a sore throat. I guess that could be a result of allergies too though.

8:30 pm

harpjane

73 to go

8:30 pm

phandmd

My asthma has been bothering me lately.

8:30 pm

harpjane

Well, one nice thing about below zero weather--no seasonal allergies to worry about !

8:30 pm

harpjane

it's warming up now, though.

8:30 pm

phandmd

darn none of the 4 words I have were previously clued!

8:31 pm

phandmd

No, I have animals that I am allergic to...

8:31 pm

phandmd

or rather need to find...

8:32 pm

phandmd

but I did figure out 2 of the words! :^D

8:34 pm

harpjane

what are they phan, or is that breaking your code of ethics to ask?

8:34 pm

phandmd

The words I found?

8:34 pm

harpjane

or the words you need?

8:34 pm

phandmd

SC 5/12 6/21 it's a yummy treat

8:35 pm

harpjane

i may not be too useful

8:35 pm

harpjane

since I'm just barely half way

8:35 pm

phandmd

I am down to one I am trying to figure it out myself for now. I do think I will end up asking for a clue though

8:36 pm

harpjane

odds are i won't have it, but we can work on it together.

8:36 pm

phandmd

well, it is the on 5/10

8:37 pm

phandmd

oh, got it! FW for me!

8:37 pm

8:43 pm

lbdawger

hi Min. running on empty, need sleep, but only have 10 words left.

8:43 pm

phandmd

That may be part of the reason my allergies have flared up, Jane, I don't clean well enough!

8:43 pm

phandmd

you can do it, LBD!

8:43 pm

harpjane

My theory is leave it all alone so it won't bother you....

8:44 pm

Minveryork

I'm the feeling the exact same way, but I got 14 words left

8:44 pm

lbdawger

change the filter in your furnace. that will help with allergies.

8:45 pm

phandmd

I think it has been recently changed, will ask hubby

8:45 pm

harpjane

We started out our marriage believing that we could keep the cats out of our bedroom. They body slammed the door all night until we finally relented. After about a month my poor dear husband developed a tolerance.

8:46 pm

phandmd

there are no animals allowed in my room and we don't have a problem keeping them out. Thank goodness!

8:47 pm

harpjane

Mine were BORN in that room and didn't know any better.

Hi, Nef.

9:48 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye lbdawger! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log

9:51 pm

Nef

hi/bye, lbd! Hi phand and Min. I thought everyone left; so I was checking back in chog

9:52 pm

Minveryork

Hello Nef! How are you doing today? Welcome to the chog.

9:52 pm

Nef

I'm doing fine, Min. How are you doing these days?

9:53 pm

Minveryork

I'm happy that the storm forecasted for today stayed south

9:54 pm

phandmd

I am gonna sign off now as well. hagn all.

9:54 pm

RoundBarn

I'm here, Nef--just passed half way and that's my usual goal. Book: will finish proofing bk 7 tmr, end of Vol 3, but still lots of loose ends for vol 3. Jeremy's calling at 8 tmr morning, to continue checking all the mistakes we've found. So Babble is a break and relaxation. Saw all the ec clues early this a.m. and ow late, but they beat me. How are you?

9:54 pm

Nef

Did you get a snow day; or didn't they do that last night (called off school in preparation for the storm)?

9:56 pm

penquis

sorry...i got distracted...heading to bed...g'nite all....

9:56 pm

RoundBarn

the snow didn't amount to much, steets cleared, nothing called off--EXCEPT the Cj hi Poles have mahaged a state holiday so all the schools were closed AGAIN, this time for Kasimer Pulaski day. I don't know how we clelbrate it--I should ask the Poles. I think he was a hero.

9:56 pm

Nef

I'm doing fine, RB. Took DH to the neurologist today for his usual 3 month follow-up; he will be having more stuff (testing, therapies, and possibly a new med or 2) in the near future. Darn MS>

9:58 pm

Nef

Who the heck is Kasimer Pulaski? (I'll Google him; I've never heard of him before though)

9:59 pm

RoundBarn

I'll sign off now that I've seen you, Neg, and try to find where in the book(s) I have Pat breaking her bow obver Jo's head--three times (in the book, not the bow that was once.) Some memories stick in everybody;s minds.

10:00 pm

RoundBarn

Pat thinks maybe Jo broke it over her head, but I said no--you sent me your diary long ago, and you were the one. In a fit of Pique. I don't know who Kasimer Pulaski is. They should all stay in school and learn about him--Illinois kids have mised so much school. Wis kids, too.

10:01 pm

Nef

Take some breaks when you can, RB. You deserve it! (And it seems that Kasimer Pulaski was a US revolutionary war hero. I do not recall ever hearing of him though

10:02 pm

Nef

SUpposedly, he's "the father of the American cavalry".

10:02 pm

RoundBarn

Chicago Poles are pretty persuasive. Or were, when they got the state holiday passed. We take off Lincoln's actual birthday, too. Favorite son.

10:03 pm

Nef

Wow! Between holidays like that and weather days; how do the kids learn anything any more? ;-)

10:06 pm

RoundBarn

they have to stay later in June. I THINK THE TEADHERS MIGHT LIKE IT IF THEY CAME AN EXTRA sATURDAY OR TWO--MAKE UP SNOW DAYS.

10:08 pm

RoundBarn

I'm going to poink now like /crossy does, after taking to you, dear nef. Get ready for Jermy calling at dawn. I am so tired of inverted commas. But we have to net them all. Too bad there's not a market for them, and misplace semi colons, etc. goodnight, and poink.

10:08 pm

Nef

I bet they would prefer that too. By June; everyone just is too antsy to study and they want out of school ASAP

10:08 pm

Nef

okay, Good night, RB!

10:12 pm

uusue2

hi all! back to finish...

Hi sue. How are you tonight? (I seem to be the only chatty person left....)

hi again. I'm not sure why our grandson was still awake; but as soon as I lay down and sang a lullaby, he fell sound asleep! (Maybe he was protecting his ears from my singing!)

10:51 pm

Minveryork

Hello Nef! That is the great thing about grandkids, they do not care how you sing.

10:53 pm

Nef

Very true, Min. He thinks I'm "very pretty", very old, and he loves my singing! (I mean, I've gotta love him for that! 2 out of 3 is pretty good!
