pugs, i did ask about your sister and Carol...how are they doing, hun?
1:25 am
puglet

right now Barb is doing well and Carol is not. She came today and had me go clean with her and I dont know what to do to help her through this awful thing.
1:26 am
puglet

I'm sorry I didnt write back Rose. I know I owe you a letter
1:26 am
grannyrose

exactly what you are doing, pugs. contact her everyday so that she really knows that at least one person cares what she is doing. try and visit when you can, or have her over to your house.
1:28 am
puglet

we just have no answers to why--I think thats the worse of it all. The viewing was so bad. She hung on to me the whole time and wouldnt let me go.
1:32 am
grannyrose

and you will probably never will dear. your role now is to build Carol back up, keep telling her it was NOT her fault.
1:35 am
puglet

I know its going to take time for her and I will be here for her---its all one can do in something like this.Her spirit is just gone and I'm worried about her.I am so glad she has the little girl, that gives her reason to keep going on
1:36 am
grannyrose

yes, the lass should be Carol's focus right now.
1:37 am
puglet

Rose, I'm getting tired for I've been up all night. So glad I got to talk a bit to you. Please tell Sprite hi and I send love and hugs to you guys and night everyone.

5:41 am

:D
6:11 am

I have heard some mixed reviews about The Hobbit, but I shall wait till it is is the sale bins and pick up all three on the cheap. I hear that they "overdid" the movie. drew it out without need just as a cash cow.
6:12 am
Lizlin

I don't really think it needed 3 movies but I still have enjoyed the first 2.
6:12 am
sprite

yes that is what they say. I have enjoyed every minute of it. They have inserted some of the lore from the Silmarillion into it and it is awesome.
6:12 am
crosshair

I will hold off, and watch all three at once later on
6:13 am
sprite

worth watching on a big screen, though, crossy. Oh Liz... those spiders!
6:13 am

I have a 51 inch hdtv and a lazyboy chair. My favorite theatre;)
6:13 am

sadly, crossy cannot see 3D. I have an eye oddity with it.
6:14 am

I had to close my eyes when I saw a Doctor Who episode with spiders.... ick.
6:14 am

And without other people's crunching of popcorn!
6:14 am

we watched it in 3D IMAX as well. HD too. Yes they were horrible!
6:14 am

in life, yes, in movies, no 3d for crossy

rururocks

Studying botany is better than beating the bushes for words
3:15 pm
jesdraggon

there's words in the bushes too? what?
3:16 pm
rururocks

A figure of speech
3:16 pm
rururocks

I am just hedging my bets
3:17 pm
jesdraggon

with hedges made of bushes that hide words? it's getting very convoluted in here...
3:18 pm
rururocks

Well you don't want to take a shrubbing on this grid
3:19 pm
jesdraggon

i've trimmed it about half back...
3:22 pm
rururocks

I am sorry the conversation seems to be clipped
3:23 pm
MollyL

Look out, there are lurkers hiding in those bushes
3:23 pm
jesdraggon

that's alright, i'm not very sharp myself today
3:24 pm
rururocks

3:25 pm
MollyL

No, just watching...always watching...
3:28 pm
rururocks

Sounds like a Steven King title
3:28 pm
MollyL

Don't mind me, just filling in all the words I had hours ago that have mysteriously disappeared from my word list.
3:29 pm
rururocks

That happened to me too recently
3:30 pm
MollyL

I think this place is slowly dying
3:30 pm
rururocks

Me too
3:31 pm
jesdraggon

since the day we were born..
3:31 pm
nik13

its because of all the cutting hedge technology
3:32 pm
rururocks

That would have been fernier earlier nik
3:32 pm
jesdraggon

that's a pretty sticky pun, ruru
3:33 pm
rururocks

I went out on a limb ...

3:39 pm
nik13

in today's world there are more pressing issues such as the limited copper which is making me question whether or not the mint makes cents
3:39 pm
saanichcat

I'm still here, punless
3:40 pm
rururocks

Ha
3:41 pm
rururocks


Then they should give mints no quarter
3:41 pm
nik13

they should make coins out of silver or gold. either ore is fine by me
3:41 pm
rururocks

I meant to coin that differently
3:42 pm
nik13

its gonna be hard to get rid of all the tainted money. it taint yours and it taint mine.
3:43 pm
MollyL

Oh Lord
3:44 pm

WE are due for a small change then
3:44 pm

4:36 pm
redshoes

bah, I tried the root and feminine of the last la6/18, but didn't even think to try the masculine. Dork.
4:39 pm
redshoes

All that loud whistling...if I didn't know better, I'd say my mom's at the game. I wonder how close that camera is to the family seats... ;)
5:02 pm
java2

Almost halftime; thanks Molly and redshoes for the cheers. So far, so good!
5:03 pm

I'm a Badger. I live in Tennessee but hail from the Motherland of All Things Cheddar.
5:06 pm

Then, how about that Badger game yesterday?
5:07 pm
redshoes

Okay...I didn't say I was a GOOD Badger... O:)
5:09 pm
redshoes

To be fair, I tried to watch at home, but found out the hard way that I don't get the channel. Stupid SEC TV.
5:10 pm
java2

Ah. Well, they beat the Minnesota Gophers to retain possession of Paul Bunyan's Axe and earned the right to play Ohio next week.
5:11 pm
redshoes

I did look it up and am glad for all of that. I do feel a little sorry for the Gophers. They just haven't won the axe in so long. Wonder if reciprocity has anything to do with that.
5:11 pm
java2

Just before the half, when the score had been 17-3, them, Wisconsin scored to make it 17-13 and then went on a scoring spree with 21 points in the second half.
5:11 pm
redshoes

Good players who don't have scholarships can go to a better team for the same price. ;)
5:12 pm
redshoes

And, in my not-so-humble-opinion, a better education, as well. ;P
5:13 pm
redshoes

But I am wholeheartedly biased.
5:14 pm
java2

You're right; there's a good reciprocity program among many midwest states for higher education. A win-win for students.
