1:44 am

grannyrose

okay today. have started taking the magnesium ta\bs on a regular basis again today. darn cramps woke me this morning.

1:44 am

Lizlin

I'll include some views of the other direction from the lunch place - local surf life saving club.

1:44 am

Lizlin

Hope they'll help you, Rose.

1:45 am

sprite

I hope it works, rose. Very rotten way to wake up.

1:45 am

saanichcat

really sorry to hear that rose

1:46 am

grannyrose

it's okay, friends. apart from the nasty jolt awake, no harm done. sprite, you said you were tired still. another pear-shaped night, hun?

1:47 am

sprite

yep, and a series of days of overdoing stuff. Am gonna take it very easy today, for sure.

1:47 am

grannyrose

g'day worzel. i know you are lurking, mate. nice to see that you are still with us. at least in spirit...lol

1:47 am

Lizlin

Hi Worz - from me too :)

1:48 am

grannyrose

yeah well running from appointment to appointment doesn't give you much of a relaxing time.

1:49 am

sprite

no, and having to shop and cook for 3 days in succession is still too much for me, apparently. But Rob is back home now, he will shop and cook today. I will do laundry, terra and tonight the dishes. That is all.

1:50 am

grannyrose

just make sure th4 is all, young lady.

1:50 am

sprite

yes m'am!

1:51 am

Lizlin

Next time insist on kids making pasta or sandwiches one night!

1:51 am

Lizlin

Or even an omelette - I'm sure that's not past them!

1:51 am

sprite

will do, Liz.

1:52 am

Lizlin

Taking a break - to process some of today's pics. Hope to catch you later. Hugs.

1:52 am

sprite

1:53 am

grannyrose

1:54 am

Looking forward to sitting with you all at the SLSC - enjoying the views, even without the sculpture festival :)

1:54 am

sprite

oh wouldn't that be awesome?

1:54 am

Lizlin

Truly :)

1:56 am

sprite

what is the verdict on today's grid, rose?

1:56 am

grannyrose

it's not too bad

1:56 am

grannyrose

a couple of curly ones, so to speak.

1:57 am

sprite

ok :) *gives monkeys another banana*

2:04 am

grannyrose

sprite, you would have died laughing. yesterday don pruned our plum tree. today he was cutting up the branches, even the small ones....using his....

2:04 am

grannyrose

electric power saw.

2:04 am

sprite

usually I slow down considerably when reaching 3/4. But today, it happened only halfway, lol. Brain must be tired.

2:05 am

roflollllll! Oh dear... men! Give them toys and off they go.

2:21 am

2:22 am

2:22 am

grannyrose

how are you doing now, hun?

2:23 am

sprite

64 left, and trying to stay awake, lol. I might take a nap in the morning today. Such self-indulgence... but I might do it anyway :)

2:24 am

grannyrose

sprite, it's quite strange. when i first had psycho, he shredded his sandpaper covers. nowadays he is leaving them totally alone.

2:25 am

sprite

psycho is calming down, being with you guys is good for him

2:28 am

grannyrose

we are going into the 3rd week of them being on the perches.

2:28 am

sprite

very nice record :)

2:30 am

grannyrose

and now for something completely different. turned my mobile phone on for the first time today. a message from a post office i have never been in has found a labeller with my name, address and phone number on it. and i say ...huh ?

2:31 am

sprite

how very odd?

2:31 am

grannyrose

will have to call tomorrow morning. too late today. very strange and a little scary

2:31 am

sprite

I can see why. Don't like stuff like that myself.

2:36 am

broll

maybe it is the center for lost and found

2:36 am

grannyrose

sprite, have you heard from pugs? apart from seeing her a day or so ago, nothing.

2:36 am

grannyrose

hmmm, good thought, broll

2:36 am

sprite

oh, good one, broll

2:37 am

sprite

no, nothing here either, rose. But pugs said she would be very busy this week, might not have time to make it to babble

2:38 am

grannyrose

must try to check in my morning time, it's her mid evening time th4. th4's when i saw her.

2:38 am

sprite

if you see her, please hug her from me, rose?

2:39 am

grannyrose

2:43 am

sprite

funny little bird, the ti7

2:44 am

grannyrose

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

2:46 am

sprite

rose, dear friend, I am gonna indulge and take a morning nap. I guess fatigue and the new meds are catching up with me. *hugs* for you and Don, and I hope you will sleep well tonight. Without cramps!

2:46 am

grannyrose

as i suspected from the pics, it is flightless. must remember that word.

2:47 am

grannyrose

nice, sprite. enjoy. perhaps you could email me later and tell me how you are doing on the new meds. xoxox

7:14 am

grannyrose

mlf, i trained myself to sleep with my mouth closed. having said th4, if the nasal bolster dislodges, i cannot fall asleep until i cannot hear the rush of air, or feel the escaping air on my face.

Good morning, all!

hi Judi

9:46 am

72 Temple Owl

hi,judi

9:51 am

Judi

I saw some woman walking down a public city street, wearing pajamas and a bathrobe. How lazy can you get??

9:53 am

Judi

That was this morning, by the way.

9:54 am

PastorJ

I once had a coworker whose abusive husband locked her out when she stepped out in her bathrobe to put out the trash; she had to walk quite a ways to get to a friend who would help her. you just never know!

9:55 am

Judi

Well, this woman was walking with a man and a dog on a leash. It looked a little too routine to me.

9:56 am

PastorJ

glad to know he didn't have the woman on a leash! ;->

9:56 am

PastorJ

...or did you mean the woman had both the man and the dog on a leash? ;->

9:56 am

Judi

lol. Well yes, points for that at least.

9:57 am

MollyL

I see women in the grocery store all the time in fuzzy pajama pants and fuzzy slippers. Apparently, getting dressed to go out is no longer a requirement.

9:57 am

jacq

it's a lack of self resepct

9:57 am

Judi

I think that outfit is required for Walmart.

9:57 am

Judi

Either lack of self respect or just "I don't give a shit".

9:58 am

dan2bit

I think when you're carrying your social network with you in your pocket wherever you go, you end up not thinking as much about the people in your "face to face" world. Not necessarily a good thing.

9:58 am

MollyL

Oh man 2Bit, that is sad, but probably true.

10:00 am

MollyL

Speaking of sad but true, this is an excerpt from an article about the winner of the Miss America pageant.
"For her talent performance, Kazantsev sang Pharrell Williams' "Happy"
while sitting cross-legged on the stage and banging a red plastic cup on the floor."

10:00 am

Judi

Once upon a time, people would have assumed someone dressed like that had just walked away from a hospital or escaped from a mental institution.

10:02 am

Judi

lol, Molly! Wow.

10:03 am

rururocks

Men on leashes are commonplace out here

Woof!

12:52 pm

I feel they will vote no when it comes to the crunch.

12:54 pm

bichon

Personally, I hope that. The have much more to gain by staying in the UK

12:55 pm

MollyL

From what I have read, there could be ways to avoid a credit crunch. Personally, I am for Scotland having their independence.

12:59 pm

zoozzoom

Well for me I would like it to saty as part of the UK. Selfish reaons as I have always known England to include Scotland. But if they get the independance that some are seeking. Then I will be happy for them also. Sorry if I used any words that got me into the PB. But I could not be bothered to check :-)

12:59 pm

bichon

I was reading Paul Krugman, economic columist for the Times and he didn't think thing would be better for the Scots. What monetary unit would they use?

1:03 pm

zoozzoom

Yes there is a lot of tit for tat tactics going on, Bichon about companies moving to the south if Scotland get the yes vote and the prime minister going to Scotland and trying his talk to persuade not sure voters and trying scare tactics.Not into all that as I do not know how much is true..lol But I am sure scotish people are not stupid. They will choose what they think is right for them.

Molly I think that is a shame if people get funny about discussing a particular subject. I do not et offended if someone does not agree with me.I would rather agree to dis-agree with someone than to fall out with them.

1:09 pm

kje

the re are not too weird, as far as weird goes in this grid

1:10 pm

MLFAN17

lol kje is that supposed to make it easier for anyone to magically find them?

1:11 pm

MollyL

Thanks Zoom, I feel the same way. As far as Scotland goes, I can see why they would want their independence. I think it's easy for people who have not lived under the rule of another country to dismiss that desire of theirs.

1:12 pm

sammysmom

re/6 to keep something

1:12 pm

re 6/18 is it happened a short time ago

1:15 pm

MollyL

However, if the vote is "no", I will assume that there are not enough people interested in real independence. Kind of like those who live at home with Mom and Dad all their lives.

1:15 pm

MLFAN17

one is to put a group of players together again

1:15 pm

MLFAN17

re pluste4/5

1:17 pm

zoozzoom

Well Ireland went independant way back in the early 1920 something not sure about the date to be honest. seemed to work for them.I am not sure about what happens though if Scotland get independance.All this talk about they can not use the pound. Who will own the oil in the north sea etc

1:20 pm

MollyL

Claiming independence is not an easy thing, to be sure. But I think people have a right to live in a country governed by their own people. We Americans are uppity that way since we claimed our independence 238 years ago. : D

1:21 pm

MollyL

And Ireland is not completely independent yet.

1:22 pm

zoozzoom

There was a poll done recently in the UK about if Scotland get their independance a high percentage of people said stuff them they can have it. I am thinking ..hang on ..they are next door neighbours..we can trade with them for starters.We should be supporting one another not getting all up our own bottoms and getting a stiff upper lip.

1:22 pm

zoozzoom

Yes well that is an issue that will run & run I feel, Molly. re: Northern Ireland.

1:23 pm

MollyL

I wish more people felt the way you did Zoom.

1:24 pm

MollyL

Again, "stuff them, they can have their independence" smacks of people who have never lived under the rule of another country.

The UK is a rather small island not a huge continent like the US and lots of us have Scots, Welsh, Irish and English blood in our veins. David Cameron's heritage is also Scottish. We do NOT rule the Scots or the others they vote for their own Members of Parliament who sit in Westminster, which happens to be in London. I don't want a split but we all have a democratic choice and whatever will be, will be.

1:48 pm

Patxxx

PS I live in the North of England which is not too far from the Scottish border and within easy reach of Wales and Ireland. The US probably has beaches bigger than the UK so don't read our history as if we are all strangers here. We have always thought the UK would play and flight together and it's a shock to think we might end up with border controls etc to go see relatives up the road. It's a wee bit frightening!

1:54 pm

sammysmom

you are right pat.. we have states bigger than the uk. i imagine it would be like a total separation from a child or a parent to be a separate entity. the social, emotional and legal problems are just way too big to contemplate

yes diane, the "a la carte" programming. we have been waiting years for that as well. i got tired of waiting

5:32 pm

crosshair

the original idea was that you got the basic pack, then you would add ten or 20 channels of your choice for a fixed rate

5:33 pm

dianedecoder

I'm all for cutting back to basic TV as well, as I watch very little television..... it's the "other half" who realy enjoys his TV. :-)

5:33 pm

crosshair

my ten would be TLC, discovery, Nat geo, AMC, Dejaview.. and I would have to think on the rest

5:34 pm

welki

same here, diane, but i have a few shows that i like - but i don't miss the big bill

5:34 pm

welki

later, folks - thanks for the chat :)

5:34 pm

dianedecoder

As it is now, one needs one package to get the golf channel and TSN on another etc. etc. .... they've got you over a barrel!

5:35 pm

crosshair

yes, it was costing me 100/month plus tax and I do not miss that

5:35 pm

crosshair

they do indeed, diane, but they are losing people fast.

5:35 pm

dianedecoder

Bye for now welki.... I'm off to make supper as well, with 15 words remaining.

5:37 pm

See you soon, crossy... .bye for today :-)

clue for re 6/21. the last one

5:38 pm

Hey crossy.... see my profile icon ? Granddaughter made it using our now obsolete Canadian penny ! It is quite unique!

5:40 pm

re + sports group

5:40 pm

dianedecoder

She took an old marble - like pedestal table, spray painted it black and then did the arrangement of pennies. Then she painted several coats of some type of lacquer over the top.

5:44 pm

Matches

ty molly. don't know why I didn't find that ome

5:45 pm

crosshair

looking now diane

5:47 pm

crosshair

very interesting. i saw a fella who did his entire kitchen floor in pennies, polished them all up and put a clear-coat over it all. looks very nice and is inexpensive as far as floor coverings go.

5:47 pm

crosshair

I think we all have jars of obsolete pennies laying around now:)

5:48 pm

crosshair

it was well past its prime. When it costs two cents to make a penny, it is time for it to go:)

5:50 pm

crosshair

Canada will save 4 million a year by NOT making pennies:)

6:00 pm

crosshair

Whew!! just finished brushing out our medium- haired butterscotch tabby kitty! Pulled out almost enough loose fur to make a kitten!

9:11 pm

wvteach

not good at looking to the left

9:14 pm

Nef

I'm pretty good at reading to the left; it's when they get twisty th 4/5 I miss those words

9:16 pm

bookwomen

if a puzzle is one sided or has letters not used I forget they are there.

9:17 pm

Nef

same here. And I try to find words starting with letters that are already blacked out

9:18 pm

9:18 pm

(I do it a lot)

9:27 pm

YAY, bookwomen!!! WTG!!!

Well, not a word, in the wrong box, and definitely not spelling right tonight!

Fireworks unaided... stupid te4 word to end it, that was an odd one to miss so long

9:59 pm

Nef

YAY, gremlinn!!! WTG!!!

10:00 pm

Nef

Sometimes it goes like that, doesn't it?

10:00 pm

gremlinn

Yeah, a blind spot

10:00 pm

stidmama

((((((((NEF))))))))

10:01 pm

stidmama

yay gremlinn!

10:01 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams book....

10:01 pm

Nef

(((((stid)))))

10:01 pm

stidmama

also hello lurkers!!!

10:01 pm

stidmama

Nef! I learned something! Never assume you can teach little kids just because you can teach older kids! *"argh" teacher look*

10:02 pm

gremlinn

The younger, the harder to teach, I'd suspect!

10:02 pm

stidmama

and I also learned that EVERY virus in that community is new to me. I have been there for ten days with students in the room and have had two viruses already.

10:02 pm

Nef

LOL!!! stid, little kids love you more! ;-)

10:03 pm

Nef

Yep. It's important you build up your immunity by taking care of yourself, stid

10:04 pm

stidmama

true that! :-D

10:04 pm

gremlinn

double PB, stid! :)

10:04 pm

stidmama

profound thought about to be unleashed on the chog...

10:04 pm

stidmama

third graders are DIFFERENT from eighth graders!

10:04 pm

stidmama

no way! where????

10:04 pm

stidmama

oh carp. *sitting in PB*

10:04 pm

gremlinn

true that

10:05 pm

Nef

THat means try to cut back on the stress you put on yourself, stid. (I'm a fine one to talk, right?)

10:05 pm

stidmama

didn't have those yet, thanks for pointing th4 out!

10:05 pm

stidmama

doing that -- going to sleep early, slept all weekend (this virus is worse compared to the first), and taking echinacea and drinking lots of things with vitamin c

10:07 pm

Nef

Salt water gargles, and (even thought they say newer research says it doesn't work) I still use the zinc lozenges

10:08 pm

stidmama

ah, salt water. Forgot that one. GrannyRose reminded me that steam might help, so will take a lovely hot shower before I turn in tonight.

10:08 pm

Nef

Are you using the salt water nasal sprays too.

10:09 pm

Nef

Hot shower should definitely feel good, moisture /humidity always helps

10:10 pm

stidmama

no, no way to do them any more, but haven't had any sinusitis, just a terrible post-nasal drip that has lodged in my lungs.

10:10 pm

stidmama

Grant and Tom are taking extra-good care of me since I was hired. A couple more weeks and I might be able to revert to human again.

10:10 pm

rururocks

maybe take a shower and read James Bond's books by Ian Phleming stid

10:12 pm

Nef

not at the same time, ruru

10:12 pm

stidmama

rofl ruru!!!! LOVE his books when I am sick actually, they are bizarre enough that I manage to forget for a while how yucky I feel.

10:12 pm

stidmama

I think I can guess how you want the vote to go on Thursday, ruru?

10:12 pm

stidmama

no, but I do have that lovely soaking tub, Nef... I could read and soak...

10:13 pm

stidmama

maybe with a nice glass of wine. Something good for a deep hacking cough. Probably a red wine, with a lot of oak in it.

10:13 pm

rururocks

I think it's pretty obvious about Scotland.. it's time

10:13 pm

Nef

:-) Sounds like a plan.

10:14 pm

rururocks

something with lemon and honey sounds better stid with junk in the throat

10:14 pm

rururocks

red wine will taste metallic with a virus

10:14 pm

Nef

YES! Great idea, ruru!

10:15 pm

rururocks

maybe a hot toddy

10:15 pm

stidmama

I think there are some good reasons for and good reasons against. I think the time for making necessary changes to the status quo that would make staying in the UK passed long ago...

10:15 pm

stidmama

I have tea with honey, and thanks to Nef reminding me, zinc lozenge with mallow and slippery elm.

10:16 pm

Nef

that should help a lot stid

10:17 pm

stidmama

Red wine usually has too much tannin for me, but I was thinking it would cut some of the thickness...

10:18 pm

stidmama

but I think with the tea, zinc, hot shower... I will be good for tonight. :-D

10:18 pm

rururocks

young red wine has tannin stid.. you need something aged

10:18 pm

stidmama

meantime, I am up to 88 words already!

10:18 pm

stidmama

hm. OLD, like me?

10:18 pm

rururocks

1/3 done stid

10:19 pm

rururocks

sure.. or older like me :D

10:19 pm

rururocks

I'm old enough to be your Father I bet

10:19 pm

Nef

I've just hit 101; but I'm tired tonight and am only trying for half of the grid

10:19 pm

stidmama

:-) my goal tonight is just 100. Too tired to try the whole thing

10:20 pm

rururocks

I have to finish them

10:20 pm

mkg

not a bad grid stid. i have 130. got more than 1oo myself.

10:20 pm

mkg

not a bad grid stid. i have 130. got more than 1oo myself.

10:20 pm

stidmama

No, you might be an older brother or cousin, though I think. You talk like you are about a decade older than I am. If we hadn't just had to get a brand-new mortgage I would be retiring in about 15 years. As it is, and since I love teaching so much, I might just go for the full 30.

10:21 pm

Nef

I received a medical report for my doctor after some testing, he told me what the medical condition is and "that it isn't uncommon in older women…." Thanks , doc!!!

10:21 pm

stidmama

I like to finish the grids, but usually it's not possible. My status in the rankings has fallen off completely since I started grad school about 5 years ago.

10:21 pm

rururocks

how old are you stid.. if you don't mind me asking? 41? 42?

10:21 pm

stidmama

ugh. HE could work on his "bedside manner" a bit, the young whippersnapper...

10:21 pm

stidmama

oh no, ruru -- considerably older!

10:21 pm

rururocks

oh wow

10:22 pm

gremlinn

I'm 38, still a baby.

10:22 pm

rururocks

I thought you were younger

10:22 pm

stidmama

almost to "red hat society" status (but not quite)

10:22 pm

rururocks

you are a young'un gremlinn

10:22 pm

Nef

I'm guessing your 48 or so stid

10:22 pm

stidmama

ah, a wee young thing you are, gremlinn!

10:22 pm

gremlinn

But I'm older than I've ever been before, anyway.

10:22 pm

Nef

38 was a fun time! :-)

10:23 pm

rururocks

I hear that gremlinn

10:23 pm

gremlinn

Last year I got to quote Monty Python and say "I'm 37! I'm not old!"

10:23 pm

stidmama

true. 38 was a great year for me. One kid was 12, one was 10.

10:23 pm

rururocks

I'll be celebrating my next birthday in NYC

10:23 pm

stidmama

late 30s, in looking back, were very pleasant.

10:24 pm

stidmama

at the time, I was too young to appreciate them... LOL

10:24 pm

rururocks

40 was really fun for me

10:24 pm

stidmama

really?? what fun!

10:24 pm

mkg

38 was a good time. i had kids ages 4, 8, 10, 12 and 16. and last kid wasnt born til i was 42.

10:24 pm

mkg

at 38 i felt that i was the luckiest lady. and i was

10:24 pm

rururocks

holy cow mkg

10:25 pm

rururocks

that's a ton of kids

10:25 pm

Nef

At 38 my oldest was a first grader...

10:25 pm

gremlinn

Not literally I hope - it would take a couple dozen kids to reach a ton of them.

10:25 pm

stidmama

that is a LOT of kids, but at least they had a mother who loved them. I love my boys, but more than two would have stretched me a little thinner than I had energy for.

10:26 pm

rururocks

I skipped the kidlets.. no little ruru's running around

10:27 pm

stidmama

I think you would have made a fine pater familias, ruru...

10:27 pm

stidmama

for what it's worth. :-D

10:27 pm

rururocks

naw.. I don't think so

10:27 pm

Nef

Same here, stid. When I was a young kid, I loved babysitting and I wanted to have 6 kids. I had 2 and they used up all my energy...

10:27 pm

rururocks

thanks though..

10:27 pm

stidmama

You pretend to be grumpy, but you are kind and thoughtful.

10:28 pm

rururocks

I'm never grumpy here :D

10:28 pm

stidmama

HA! I knew it!

10:28 pm

gremlinn

I pretend to be self-contradictory, but I am.

10:28 pm

rururocks

you are an enigma gremlinn

10:29 pm

Nef

I agree with stid about you ruru. But if you didn't have a good role model it's tough to be the parent you'd want to be

10:29 pm

rururocks

I had crappy role models.. and a lousy childhood

10:29 pm

stidmama

LOL gremlinn

10:29 pm

Nef

and yes, gremlin is an enigma. :-)

10:29 pm

rururocks

I was always afraid I'd repeat my parents mistakes

10:30 pm

stidmama

ruru, I completely understand. I am sorry your childhood wasn't pleasant.

10:30 pm

Nef

We talked about that many years ago, ruru.

10:32 pm

rururocks

such is life though isn't it. I'm happy now. They only ruined 16 years of my life. I've enjoyed the rest

10:32 pm

stidmama

I am very glad to hear that, ruru! Being happy is hard to come by in this world. ((hugs))

10:33 pm

Nef

So you grew up and became a crazy punned on a word game….

10:33 pm

Nef

punner!

10:33 pm

rururocks

you guys bring the punning out of me.. normally I'm very quiet and soft spoken.. ask Doren

10:33 pm

rururocks

:D

10:34 pm

Nef

LOL!!!

10:34 pm

stidmama

hm. *looks for Doren*

10:35 pm

stidmama

ooooh. DOWN to 100. My work here is done... LOL

10:35 pm

rururocks

take care of yourself stid. hope you feel better

10:36 pm

stidmama

thanks ruru. A nice long sleep after I finish this tea and I think we'll be in good shape. **leaves choclits on sideboard* see you-all again soon I hope! *poof*

10:37 pm

rururocks

night stid

10:39 pm

Nef

Niters stid; take care of yourself!

10:41 pm

RoundBarn

hi nef and goodnight. I had 100 on my lawn yesterday celebrating the dedication of my Little Free Library--saw them in Minnesota!

10:42 pm

Nef

I'was entering all sorts of words and just looked up and --nothing entered. I was seeing the ht as th and had tons of words that weren't there.

10:42 pm

RoundBarn

and go to Wis tomorrow to meet Swedes coming to see the farm--there is no farm.

10:42 pm

Nef

Hi RoundBarn

10:43 pm

Nef

how can they see a farm that isn't there?

10:44 pm

Nef

And I have a box of books for your free library too? That's quite a celebration you had for your dedication!

10:44 pm

gremlinn

Is that like how when someone "buys the farm" they can't see anything at all afterward?

10:45 pm

Nef

I've always thought that term meant they died, gremlinn

10:45 pm

RoundBarn

Fell asleep watching the Roosevelts ar friends--so this is brief respite before bed, and going to Wis tomorrow. In addition, Elle's kids are in some trauma, their dad committed suicide so I may stay in Wis and just be a presence while they adjust to school

10:45 pm

gremlinn

Yes, exactly

10:45 pm

RoundBarn

the suiciede was in July but its hit the kids hard as you can imagine--

10:46 pm

RoundBarn

e
lle wishes he'd done it when they were 4 and 6 rather than 12 and 14.

10:46 pm

Nef

oh, my, RoundBarn! im so sorry to hear that!

10:48 pm

Nef

oh dear. I understand her feelings, but it's terrible at any age. (our ex D-I-L is threatening to do the same again...

10:49 pm

RoundBarn

Yeah. Pretty bad summer. The swedes worked on the farm in the 60's, hey don't know it's gone. So I'll drive them around Turtle township and Rock County and give them the books-- vol 3 is out now, have I sent you yours, Nef?--and, our wonderful house got moved so they can see that and the mural barn got moved, too. So I'm going so they won't be totally disappointed. I can also take muy computer and let them hear Dad talking to people they knew.

10:49 pm

Nef

Where will you be staying in Wis?

10:51 pm

RoundBarn

At Elle's. It's only 18 miles from where the farm was. And I can be with the kids some.

10:52 pm

RoundBarn

I know you're tending Ronnie and so he is having a good childhood now.

10:53 pm

Nef

Okay. I think I do have Vol 3, RoundBarn, but I don't see it right now.

10:53 pm

RoundBarn

Signing off. It's a long drive tomorrow and I'm not ready--I'll have a few hours in the morning. Goodnight, Nef--also Gremlin and Ruru o if still there. I lurk and listen to you, talk when Nef comes on.

10:54 pm

Nef

He has so much anger at times though. My son says he thinks I'm trying to be his Mom, but I really am not. He's a big Kindergatener now!

10:54 pm

Nef

Niters RB. Take care and drive safe!

10:55 pm

RoundBarn

Still, better for him to be with you. Sorry Frank's had a set back, and that you're getting a vacation. (See, I lurk and don't comment!)

10:56 pm

RoundBarn

correction--glad you're getting a vacation. Goodnight.

10:56 pm

Nef

LOL!! :-D

10:56 pm

Nef

(We need to meet up again sometime soon!)

10:58 pm

RoundBarn

I hope to get up to work with Jerry again, but not till Nov at earliest. again goodnight.

11:26 pm

Marc Freeman

sorry Nef didn't get your stomach lining clue?

11:27 pm

gremlinn

I think she meant the definition of the om6 (which was my last clue)

11:29 pm

Marc Freeman

yes but it still illuded me

11:30 pm

gremlinn

om4 (foreboding) + a short word some people use for goodbye
