yw ursh

1:17 am

sprite

we will first go to our home, btw, rose. You can check in from 4 pm on, so we will take you home until then. But don't worry, we know you will be tired from the long journey. No pressure to talk or anything, just put your feet up and let us spoil you.

1:17 am

hurshy

well this is odd

1:17 am

grannyrose

so long as alcohol is involved i won't mind at all.... loll

1:17 am

sprite

hiya hursh, what is

1:18 am

hurshy

not only is 'eluct' not a word, but 'eluctable' wouldn't be either, even though 'ineluctable' is

1:18 am

sprite

anything in particular in mind, rose? I'll make sure it is available

1:19 am

sprite

the oddities of the english language in general and enable in particular, hursh :)

1:19 am

grannyrose

no trouble please sprite. anything caffeine free

1:20 am

sprite

sweetie, trust me, it is NO trouble. Much easier if you tell me what you would like most! Sweet wine? Port? Gin? Jenever? Whisky?

1:21 am

grannyrose

sweet wine, whisky, bourbon....vodka and lemon

1:21 am

sprite

awesome, thanks darling. It will be available for you. And Don? Same?

1:22 am

grannyrose

yes thanx honey

1:22 am

sprite

great. Tim is the whisky buff here, and he will love letting you taste what he has. He has this amazing Laphroig... to die for.

1:23 am

grannyrose

my man Tim.... *squeezing until his eyes pop*

1:24 am

sprite

*grins* Just a few more days, rose, and you can do that IRL!

1:25 am

grannyrose

*giggle* he's on a promise

1:26 am

sprite

I will tell him, lol. Oh Rose, I am jumping up and down on my chair here. So excited. Rob too.

1:27 am

grannyrose

and now Don is trying on his trousers, .... 'are these alright?' aaarrggh

1:28 am

sprite

lololllll please tell him, anything that protects his assets will do. We are not picky.

1:28 am

sprite

more particular: anything that is clean and ready to pack!

1:29 am

grannyrose

if he only waits until tomorrow he will have a heap more choices...

1:30 am

sprite

lol, how is it that most men are the same in this? This sounds SO familiar!

1:36 am

sprite

how are you all doing with the grid? Not sure why but it is slow for me. Halfway and out of speed.

1:37 am

grannyrose

16 to go... some obscure word in it

1:37 am

sprite

goooo rose!

1:38 am

sprite

not that many series, I guess

1:38 am

grannyrose

no, that's what makes it so difficult

1:40 am

sprite

the go4 part of that is, there will still be lots of babble when I return with pretty hair :)

1:40 am

grannyrose

what are you having done?

1:41 am

sprite

oh, just a haircut, nothing special. I just want to look my best for you :)

1:42 am

grannyrose

awww, too sweet. and there i will be, all crumpled and bleary eyed....

1:43 am

sprite

trust me, I won't be seeing that. I will see my dear friend and her dear husband, and being able to hug you will be the best thing ever.

1:43 am

grannyrose

me too, Don three

1:43 am

sprite

:D

1:45 am

sprite

time for me to go. A big *hug* for you all. In case I don't see you when I come back, a blessed day and a peaceful night to all. And a very special hug for Rose.

1:46 am

grannyrose

2:03 am

5:09 am

zoozzoom

Hello everyone. Down to 87 words in forty minutes! But am stumped by the clue for the EN 9..Have tried to go in with the sometimes vowel on the end but can not seem to find the word. Nor the thing to sleep on either.bed..couch..sheet..mattress..fu\nton.

5:10 am

zoozzoom

Futon*

5:10 am

mattygroves

French for go in, then **** du Rhone. No sometimes vowel

5:11 am

lynxxx

TY Zooz

5:11 am

zoozzoom

Ah many thanks, Matty!

5:11 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Lynxxx :-)

5:12 am

mattygroves

Glad to be of service!

5:12 am

zoozzoom

o it was what babies sleep in.

5:12 am

mattygroves

May I have stats for the lone O in the third column?

5:12 am

zoozzoom

So*

5:12 am

zoozzoom

OM 5/16

5:13 am

mattygroves

Arrgh. Easy when it's pointed out. Thanks Zooz

5:13 am

zoozzoom

Most welcome :-)

5:15 am

zoozzoom

Have you been enjoying the nice weather, Matty?

5:15 am

mattygroves

Oh yes! Though it's a bit windy here today

5:15 am

mattygroves

Have you?

5:16 am

zoozzoom

It is ten degrees cooler here today. And had thunderstorms last night.

5:16 am

zoozzoom

Oh yes I have. Love hot weather. Good for my skinny body LOL

5:16 am

mattygroves

We had some heavy rain. Yesterday was gorgeous though

5:19 am

zoozzoom

I have three of the 8s how about you?

5:19 am

mattygroves

Just one...

5:19 am

mattygroves

mo8, I have

5:19 am

zoozzoom

Okie dokie.

5:20 am

mattygroves

Can I have stats for the ones I"m missing?

5:21 am

zoozzoom

I have that one also. TO 8 /50 & DO 8/50

5:21 am

mattygroves

Right I shall look once I am clean!

5:21 am

zoozzoom

The TO 8 I have comes from the T next to the Y

5:25 am

mattygroves

Ooh, I have three of those Ts...shall look

5:27 am

zoozzoom

Actually it might come from the T above the G, Matty.

5:28 am

zoozzoom

Sorry for the confusion.

5:42 am

rubyfoo

Back

5:43 am

rubyfoo

Hello zzoozz and Matty, if you're still here

5:45 am

rubyfoo

Is anhbody here?

5:45 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Ruby :-)

5:45 am

rubyfoo

If you had rain last right, maybe it will arrive on Monday

5:46 am

rubyfoo

I love the heat, but the garden is thirsty

5:46 am

zoozzoom

I think, Matty, has gone to have a shower.

5:46 am

MollyL

It's not raining here for a change. I actually saw the sun a few minutes ago. But back under the clouds it went.

5:47 am

rubyfoo

The boy who walks the dogs helped me water the plants down below

5:47 am

zoozzoom

Sounds like that most of the time here, Molly.

5:47 am

rubyfoo

Hello Molly

5:47 am

rubyfoo

The steps down to the bottom are too dangerous if I'm alone

5:49 am

rubyfoo

My favorite food is in here: cu4 and I even drink the whey

5:49 am

zoozzoom

Always best to be careful, Ruby. I had to change the last step at my parents home. It was too steep so changed it to be easier to step up and down on.

5:49 am

MollyL

It's too bad you don't have a hose you could use from the deck.

5:51 am

rubyfoo

It's mostly OK as I can tend the tomatoes easily with a watering can. The tomatoes are full of flowers; they love this hot weather

5:51 am

sukee

Morning all. Thanks for the clue for the EN 9 Ruby, lots of help :)

5:52 am

rubyfoo

Hello Sukee

5:52 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Sukee :-)

5:54 am

sukee

Looks like a rainy day here too. Although it may clear up. Humid already.

5:55 am

mattygroves

I'm back, clean and dressed

5:55 am

rubyfoo

You look much better, Matty! LOL

5:56 am

zoozzoom

Matty that TO* /50 comes from the T above the G not the T next to the Y

5:56 am

mattygroves

Why thank you - and that I almost certainly do!

5:56 am

zoozzoom

I am sorry for the confusion.

5:56 am

zoozzoom

TO 8/50

5:57 am

rubyfoo

I can't see any of the 8's or the middle o or the 4th column t.

5:57 am

zoozzoom

We had temps of 27C yesterday, sukee. it is 10C cooler here today.

5:58 am

mattygroves

It it a common word?

5:58 am

zoozzoom

It is, Matty yes.

5:58 am

mattygroves

OK, I shall search

5:58 am

zoozzoom

Think of waterboarding etc.

5:58 am

rubyfoo

I have a mysterious shrub in the garden with a heavely scent, but only learned the name yesterday -- seringa

5:59 am

rubyfoo

It is inconspicuous with small clusters of 4-petalled white flowers

6:00 am

rubyfoo

It's Worth planting as it smells like a cross between honeysuckle and jasmine - captivating

6:00 am

sukee

Just looked it up, pretty.

6:00 am

sukee

also called Mock Orange.

6:01 am

zoozzoom

Ha I put that into google, Ruby and tons of photos of syringes came up lol

6:01 am

sukee

That too :)

6:01 am

rubyfoo

Yes, that's it

6:01 am

mattygroves

Gosh, that was painful. ;)

6:01 am

rubyfoo

<No, zzoozz, syringa is lilac family. It's seringa

6:01 am

zoozzoom

LOL

6:02 am

rubyfoo

It was here and I never saw it until I was drawn by its scent

6:03 am

sukee

LOL, just got the TO 8...funny Matty :)

6:03 am

zoozzoom

I know, Ruby but for some reason google keeps saying it is portuguese for syringe lol

6:04 am

mattygroves

That's me. A laugh a minute ;)

6:04 am

Scrabbler

Another big grid. Yay.

6:04 am

zoozzoom

And it is not a bad grid so far, Scrabs!

6:04 am

rubyfoo

haha, zzoozz, that happened to me at first with Google. I only knew the sound of the name, not the spelling

6:05 am

MollyL

Zoom, trying searching for seringa plant

6:05 am

Scrabbler

I have about 30 minutes then I am showing and selling my art at the local farmers market.

6:05 am

zoozzoom

I did in the end, Molly. It came up with some beautiful white flowers so glad I got there in the end.

6:06 am

sukee

Syringes came up for me but then the Wikipedia link was on the right.

6:06 am

zoozzoom

Nice one, Scrabs! Hope you sell lots.

6:06 am

rubyfoo

Good luck, Scrabs, it is brave to put your art out there

6:06 am

Scrabbler

Last week I made $45. It was a slow day. Most people buy food--pies, cookies, bread, plants.

6:07 am

sukee

nbt, nbs, 100 left to go. Time for breakfast.

6:07 am

sukee

I'll be back...

6:09 am

rubyfoo

I still can't find the middle o or the 4th column t -- babble-blindness, I guess

6:10 am

mattygroves

The middle O is a greek letter. Also a villain in a classic Who episode

6:10 am

Scrabbler

ty4/6

6:10 am

rubyfoo

thank you both

6:11 am

zoozzoom

Need to go and prepare parents meal. Happy babbling everyone!

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Bye, sukee and zooz.

6:11 am

MollyL

6:11 am

rubyfoo

See you later, kids, it's time for the NYT Sunday crossword

6:12 am

Scrabbler

Enjoy that, Ruby. I will do it later as it is in our paper on Saturdays.

6:12 am

rubyfoo

thans, Molly, you always help me

6:14 am

rubyfoo

The Sat-Sun internationalNYT has both the Saturday puzzle (hardest) and the Sunday one (the most fun)

6:14 am

rubyfoo

They offset all the bad news

6:14 am

rubyfoo

Poof!

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Oh, I like the difficult one. It makes me think.

6:21 am

Inge2

I love it too, Scrabs!

6:22 am

Scrabbler

Yes, it is tricky. Some puzzles are so clever that I am amazed the creator(s) came up with the puzzle. I often work on the puzzle for 2-3 days.

6:32 am

Aloyisius

oops, LOL - Haz to the PB

9:41 am

Haz1558

See, I'm out of practice! Does that not get me out of going?

9:42 am

Aloyisius

h'mm, ok - but throw some chocos in there for penance

9:42 am

Haz1558

No problem. I'll try to mend my ways.

9:44 am

Aloyisius

did you think of Fiona when you saw "tenrec" the other day? I surely did..

9:44 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. I think of her often but especially when the tenrec appears.

9:45 am

Aloyisius

sigh, me too

9:45 am

Haz1558

Time was when she could have me in fits of laughter in the log. And it was so convenient to have someone to blame.

9:46 am

Aloyisius

yup - the blame was on her!

9:47 am

Haz1558

She was so sporting about accepting the blame, only protesting feebly every now and again.

9:47 am

Aloyisius

well, she could tease a lot too

9:48 am

Haz1558

Oh, I know, she enjoyed the banter tremendously.

9:48 am

Aloyisius

sometimes you two would gang up on me - I felt loved, lol

9:49 am

Aloyisius

I was a newbie and made lots of booboos

9:49 am

Haz1558

We only ganged up on people we liked! It was a sign of approval.

9:50 am

Haz1558

Did you join babble after us? I've always thought of you as being there already.

9:51 am

Aloyisius

I joined but dropped out for a while bc I became an addict and didn't have time while teaching - thanks to retirement, I can feed my addiction

9:52 am

Haz1558

Ah, that explains it. I think it was August 2005 when I started and have given in to the addiction just about every day since.

9:52 am

Aloyisius

- Lickety has helped so much - I joined before the lists but Brandyjack helped, remember?

9:53 am

Haz1558

I remember Brandyjack very well and also the times when it would have been considered amazing to finish at all. Lickety and (remembering my commission) morewords have made life much simpler.

9:55 am

Aloyisius

amen !

9:55 am

Haz1558

How long have you been retired, Aloy?

9:56 am

Aloyisius

Let me think - I took a year of absence after Hurricane Charlie and then retired, so - 2005 was retirement

9:57 am

Haz1558

Ah, so you're well used to it now. I take it you're enjoying it?

9:58 am

Aloyisius

Loving it ! Not answering to the bell took about 18 months to adjust to - ahh

9:59 am

Haz1558

My sister-in-law was a teacher for many years and viewed retirement with a little trepidation. Would she manage to fill her days? Fast forward a few years and her life is very busy.

10:01 am

Haz1558

She volunteers at the local primary school, goes to craft classes, helps various folks with tasks, attends lectures etc and tries to tame the garden. No time to miss work!

10:02 am

Aloyisius

I understand - felt like a hamster on the wheel and it took a while before I relaxed - and discovered that retirement can be as busy as you want it to be! We do lots of volunteer work for several env. orgs and we do lots of physical work in the Grove - so we stay out of trouble (-:

10:03 am

Haz1558

That's great. You get to help others while keeping yourself busy. It must give you great satisfaction.

10:04 am

Aloyisius

discouraging at times, but - we try

10:05 am

Aloyisius

lucite is too proper to be accepted

10:05 am

mixi6

my retirements not as active. some morning tennis, some afternoon piano duets.

10:05 am

Haz1558

Lucite must have ideas above its station...

10:05 am

Aloyisius

hi mixi - sounds great!

10:06 am

Haz1558

Hello mixi - that sounds very nice. It's about having time to do things you want.

10:07 am

Aloyisius

still haven't found that turtle

10:07 am

doseffing

... it

10:07 am

doseffing

... it'

10:07 am

Haz1558

It's my6, just rhyme it.

10:08 am

doseffing

... it's also a flower and a girl's name

10:08 am

Haz1558

Sorry, Aloy, I thought you had got it a while back, we were too busy chatting.

10:09 am

Aloyisius

LOL - found it, ty

10:09 am

Aloyisius

what I named our boat, my6 the turtle

10:09 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

10:10 am

Aloyisius

and we live on my6 slough

10:10 am

Haz1558

My Primary 5 teacher was a My6. She it was who helped to form my lifelong aversion to needle and thread.

10:11 am

Aloyisius

ooh - she stuck you?

10:11 am

Haz1558

I had to rip out my stitching so often because it didn't meet her standards. Too late to sue for compensation for hurt feelings?

10:12 am

Aloyisius

bet you won't be naming any pets after her!

10:12 am

Haz1558

Dead right!

10:13 am

Haz1558

My stitching WAS pretty bad, but it was pretty disheartening to have to do it all over again. And again.

10:13 am

mixi6

I thought my6 was in the water pipes at Hogwarts.

10:14 am

Haz1558

It could well be, mixi, I have to confess that I've never read the books.

10:15 am

Aloyisius

I know it as a plant

10:15 am

Marjetta

my6 was the ghost in the girl's bathroom

10:15 am

Marjetta

rule

10:15 am

mixi6

Yes, mother tried growing in the back year on a sunny hill. It didn't really want to be there.

10:15 am

Marjetta

pb for me! lol

10:15 am

Haz1558

I have a notion that a sprig of my6 is always included in a royal wedding bouquet.

10:16 am

Aloyisius

hi Marj - have one of the chocos

10:16 am

mixi6

stuffs PB with cookies.

10:21 am

mixi6

phantom: gooier

10:24 am

periwinkle

hello all

10:24 am

Haz1558

Hello, peri.

10:24 am

mixi6

hi peri

10:24 am

periwinkle

Haz, what a wonderful surprise to see you here.

10:25 am

Haz1558

I'm probably as surprised as you! Someone asked for a clue and it went from there.

10:25 am

periwinkle

I have missed your clues

10:25 am

periwinkle

I think of FM also but especially when I see tenrec in the grid.

10:26 am

Haz1558

I know, she was so much fun.

10:26 am

periwinkle

she was

10:27 am

Haz1558

She certainly left a lasting impression in babble. As did Anniebrook - I was so sorry to read she had died.

10:27 am

periwinkle

Anniebrook was a sweetheart. I really miss her.

10:28 am

periwinkle

how long has it been since FM died. It has to be at least 5 years.

10:28 am

Haz1558

FM died in 2011, November.

10:29 am

Aloyisius

hi peri - fitting to pay tribute on Memorial Day weekend

10:29 am

periwinkle

and it so nice ( I know the word is in the grid) that she is still rembered

10:29 am

Haz1558

I had known she was ill since September but it was still a huge shock when she died.

10:29 am

periwinkle

HI Aloy.

10:30 am

Haz1558

Did we ever hear what happened to Anniebrook, was she ill?

10:30 am

periwinkle

I did not hear anything.

10:31 am

periwinkle

how are you and your family doing, Haz?

10:31 am

Aloyisius

I think of her son, Billy

10:31 am

Haz1558

I hope Bobby was able to cope, she was always so concerned about him.

10:31 am

Aloyisius

Bobby - right

10:31 am

periwinkle

I hope so too

10:32 am

Haz1558

We are all well. Older daughter is married and younger daughter is living and working in London. We visit her a couple of times a year and she comes home as well. Just the two of us and the dog now.

10:32 am

periwinkle

same dog?

10:33 am

Haz1558

Dempsey is almost 5 now, a little blue roan cocker spaniel. His signature song, if he had one would be 'Hopelessly devoted to you' - directed at me.

10:34 am

periwinkle

awww

10:34 am

Aloyisius

beautiful pup

10:35 am

periwinkle

need to take a break, bbs. don't be a stranger, Haz.

10:35 am

Haz1558

He's a real velcro dog. Apparently it is a mark of the breed to be very attached to one person, and he has adopted me as his heroine.

10:35 am

Haz1558

See you again, peri.

10:35 am

periwinkle

indeed

10:36 am

Jacula

Haz! How lovely to see you. I've been meaning to write or email. x

10:36 am

Aloyisius

Haz, does your hubby have retirement plans?

10:36 am

Aloyisius

hi Jac

10:36 am

Haz1558

Hello Jacula! I owe you an e-mail!

10:36 am

Jacula

I'll look forward to catching up with your news, Haz.

10:37 am

Haz1558

Aloy, he's starting to think about retirement in the next few years. He has two mornings off a week now. He just finds it all getting a bit trying physically.

10:37 am

Haz1558

Jac, it's been ages. It'll be a LOOONG e-mail.

10:37 am

Aloyisius

he truly deserves some "off" time

10:38 am

Haz1558

I have been on maternity leave for 34 years and am starting to think about the benefits of retirement.

10:38 am

Jacula

Make the email as looong as you like, Haz. I don't mind.

10:38 am

Aloyisius

lol -

10:39 am

Haz1558

You're a glutton for punishment but I'll definitely apply myself to it.

10:39 am

Jacula

Good!

10:40 am

Haz1558

How have you been?

10:40 am

Jacula

Re retirement - I got a sum from a private pension for my 60th birthday but I'll have to wait until I'm 67 for the other one and the state one.

10:41 am

Jacula

How have I been? That'll take a looong email in reply to yours, Haz.

10:41 am

Haz1558

Yes, I think I'm due for the pension at 67. I still think it's ridiculous that I'm nearly 60. I'm still waiting to feel grown-up and responsible.

10:42 am

Haz1558

Okay, we'll catch up and the one with the e-mail with the most words wins the prize.

10:42 am

Jacula

Yes - I can't believe I'm 60 either. Only 3 mins since I was 18 surely?

10:42 am

Jacula

LOL re the email prize. x

10:43 am

Haz1558

I don't think twitter would suit us for catching up.

10:44 am

Jacula

Nope. I only go on there if my daughter wants me to vote for something.

10:44 am

Haz1558

I don't have a twitter account but I have a look at a few people just to see what they're saying. Sheer nosiness, but then I've always been 'interested'.

10:45 am

Jacula

You should be on Facebook - much more chance to be 'interested'.

10:46 am

Haz1558

I've always resisted Facebook because I know I'd spend too much time on it.

10:47 am

Haz1558

I do see the benefits, I just wonder if I'd be disciplined enough.

10:47 am

Jacula

LOL. It can be a time-waster but is also very good in a lot of ways - keeping up with far-flung family, word games with others (like Peri), interest groups etc.

10:48 am

Jacula

Well, you'll have to give a try and limit yourself to a certain amount of time a day or a week on there.

10:48 am

Haz1558

I suppose it's like anything else, it's how you use it that decides how beneficial something is.

10:50 am

Jacula

Got to go now. Look forward to reading your email soon. x

10:51 am

Haz1558

I'll be out this evening but I'll definitely try to get something done tomorrow. Let the battle of the catch up emails commence...

10:51 am

Haz1558

See you soon, Jac.

10:59 am

Haz1558

And I must go as well. Bye for now.

11:00 am

: P

11:35 am

this grid is loaded with dirty words

11:36 am

MollyL

It has been a dirty word week here in Babble Land. Do you think the Babble Gods are lonely?

11:38 am

rururocks

maybe horny

11:38 am

rubyfoo

I once called a terrible English boss the c4 word and , although he was one, he almost had a heart attack

11:39 am

rubyfoo

It's very effective when used correctly LOL

11:40 am

allyall

dirt is now a phantom word for me in this grid

11:41 am

rubyfoo

That's funny, ally

11:41 am

rururocks

that is just not a word in my dictionary ruby.. I kind of find it offensive

11:42 am

Buggie

I think that's the whole point, ruru

11:42 am

rubyfoo

I haven't uttered it in a long time

11:42 am

rubyfoo

And when used VERY sparingly, it has a huge impact

11:43 am

rubyfoo

Now I use bad words in French, also sparingly

11:44 am

rururocks

in French it's ok though :D it always sounds better in french

11:44 am

bichon

true that

11:45 am

rubyfoo

Everything sounds better. But what's more fun here are the phrases in the vernacular without bad words, but funny and effective

11:45 am

rubyfoo

Hi Bichon

11:46 am

rubyfoo

I have the vocabulary of a "plouc"!

11:47 am

rubyfoo

My friends teach me special epithets for politicians, stuff I didn't learn in high school

11:47 am

MollyL

That word is a big gun that gets pulled out when people are really slinging the mud. Mostly a word used by men in fights when they know they can't hit a woman but they can pulverize her with that word.

11:48 am

rururocks

or directed at a woman by nutjobs from Canada

11:48 am

rubyfoo

Using it on a man, however, is more shocking (to the man!)

11:49 am

rubyfoo

Nutjobs from Canada? Something I haven't heard about. I thought Canadians were cool and polite

11:49 am

rururocks

most of them ruby.. there's a couple bad apples

11:50 am

rururocks

most of them are polite I mean.. there are a few here that are rude and mean-spirited

11:50 am

rubyfoo

That word, if directed at me, has no effect. I guess I've been innoculated

11:51 am

rubyfoo

Too much time in the trenches, I guess

11:51 am

rururocks

maybe

11:51 am

MollyL

If women would stop acting like it is the most offensive word in the world, it would not get tossed out in arguments.

11:52 am

rubyfoo

Exactly. There are worse things to be called, e.g. "You're just like my mother!"

11:52 am

rubyfoo

That would sting!

11:52 am

MollyL

Now THAT is offensive. : D

11:53 am

flosey

whew! fw - last words, to7 and 8

11:53 am

MollyL

Then there is the classic "man fight phrase"..."all women are bitches".

11:54 am

Now if somebody called me short.....

I'm on my way if no clues are needed

9:36 pm

allyall

googled babble expert and am now reading sprite's profile.

9:37 pm

cybernan

oh - that is quick. We have to be out by July 7 -- haven't started packing yet -- too busy renovating the new house

9:38 pm

HarryHood

I used to be so good at moving. Now it would be a major operation.

9:39 pm

cybernan

I used to be able to call a moving company and have them pack us up and move us -- now that we are retired we are on our own -- there is something wrong with that!

9:39 pm

allyall

i feel like i should be better at it, this is our 11th move in 15 years... but it is still awful

9:39 pm

HarryHood

When I was single I would move all the time - pack up the hatchback and go.

9:39 pm

cybernan

try moving after living in one house for 25 years!

9:40 pm

HarryHood

unthinkable

9:40 pm

allyall

yikes, that would be hard.

9:41 pm

I'm having a hard time believing we've been here that long -- we used to be transferred every 5-7 years. The time has gone by soooooo fast

9:42 pm

HarryHood

2/3 done! woohoo

9:42 pm

HarryHood

are you getting a dumpster nan?

9:42 pm

But then as my hubby pointed out the other day, he is beginning his 18th year of retirement

9:42 pm

9:44 pm

cybernan

The big stuff is easy -- it's the little mementos that are hard to get rid of.

9:45 pm

HarryHood

I would have a very hard time doing that. We have so much crap.

9:46 pm

cybernan

taking a break - back at the flip
