mornin' Scrabs

7:48 am

Scrabbler

Hi Bichon. How cold is it there for you? 15 here.

7:49 am

bichon

Not nearly that cold, but, very breezy

7:50 am

penquis

hello all...17 F here.....

7:52 am

mael

phantom: ratifier

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Hi penquis. I am cold sitting next to 2 windows.

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Buona mattina, mael.

7:52 am

penquis

yuck...

7:52 am

bichon

Happy that there are no fires here.

7:53 am

penquis

amen to that...

7:53 am

Scrabbler

True.

7:53 am

mael

so my 7 year old woke up with a sore throat and is home from school (with a neg covid test). My son is going to school where he will probably catch covid and bring it home and then we can all be home. This month is going to be awful

7:53 am

mael

hi scrab!

7:53 am

Scrabbler

Yes, the next 4-6 weeks will be catastrophic.

7:55 am

mael

it's not even the sickness I'm worried about, it's the disruption. can't be helped but all the parents I know are freaking out because it's not like workplaces are accommodating of quarantines and sick children and school closures at this point

7:55 am

welki

hi folks

7:55 am

bichon

My daughter is a manager of some group homes for the intellectually disabled. It's crazy there. Employees with covid, residents with covid.

7:55 am

Scrabbler

My ER and ICU friends have been overwhelmed for a few weeks.

7:55 am

penquis

hi welki...

7:56 am

Scrabbler

Hi welki

7:56 am

saanichcat

good morning to everyone!

7:56 am

penquis

hi saani...

7:57 am

welki

'morning, saanich

7:58 am

Scrabbler

Hi saanich

7:58 am

Scrabbler

G'day, g'day, g'day, how is everyone doing?

7:59 am

saanichcat

drier

7:59 am

saanichcat

sorry about that

8:01 am

welki

we're amping up for another week of extreme cold - can't wait to see the gas bill

8:03 am

Scrabbler

We need snow, lots of snow. My little guys wants to snowboard.

8:04 am

penquis

my great nephew just spent five days cross country skiing with his high school team in northern Maine...

8:04 am

Scrabbler

Wonderful.

8:04 am

Scrabbler

tier

8:04 am

Scrabbler

Free clue.

8:05 am

penquis

the team goes every year but they did not go last year...there is a world class facility in northern Maine...

8:06 am

welki

it's a great sport. i wasn't much of a downhill skier, but loved x-country

8:06 am

Scrabbler

Our trails have not had enough snow yet.

8:07 am

penquis

the only skiing i ever did was down a very small neighborhood hill using plan slip-on wooden skis....

8:07 am

penquis

make that plain wooden skis.... ;o)

8:08 am

Scrabbler

I haven't done downhill skiing in almost 40 years.

8:10 am

MollyL

Mael, workplaces need to become more accommodating. These are the times and circumstances we are living in. I think the government should mandate 10 days of pay for COVID reasons, if necessary.

8:11 am

welki

about 23 for me - last time was when i moved here, we took one of the girls up to lake louise. the ride up to the top of the hill was terrifying for me. got off the lift, skied for about five minutes and promptly propelled myself into a sign pole.

8:12 am

penquis

yuck....makes me nervous just to think about that...

8:12 am

welki

made it (very slowly) down the hill, waited for my husband and daughter in the lodge (which was just fine), and ended up in the ED with torn muscles in my thigh. the end.

8:13 am

Scrabbler

welki, NO!

8:13 am

welki

(okay, not really the end, but the details about the descent are not fit for mixed company)

8:14 am

welki

scrabbler, i am probably the least athletic person you'll ever know - every time i try something new, i break, tear, bruise, strain or slice something. but i'm a game trooper :)

8:15 am

penquis

and you have survived to tell the tale!

8:15 am

welki

for instance, badminton, birdie to the eye

curling, torn rotator cuff and broken pinkie (but the pirouette on it was lovely)

8:15 am

saanichcat

and a tale well told too! I could imagine every awful detail

8:15 am

welki

yes pen, yes i did

8:16 am

Scrabbler

I am an athletic klutz, or maybe a klutzy athlete. My family fears that I will get hurt as I have had a concussion and ankle fracture in the last 7 years.

8:17 am

Scrabbler

welki, you have great stories though.

8:17 am

bichon

There's only one sport I excel in, dog walking

8:17 am

penquis

i fell on the tennis court last week....no injuries, not even a scratch....it's funny because three of us out of eight in my group fell that day....

8:17 am

penquis

lol, bichon....

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Haha

8:17 am

welki

i'm just a klutz, but i do these amazing matrix moves while falling - always good for a laugh

8:18 am

Scrabbler

Haha

8:21 am

welki

phantom derelict

8:21 am

Scrabbler

Yes, there it is.

8:21 am

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Geritol!

8:22 am

BzznBea

DingDingDing!

8:22 am

saanichcat

funniest NTPN yet!

8:23 am

welki

*taking orders for geritol and vitameatavegemin*

8:23 am

Scrabbler

I'm ready.

8:24 am

welki

yeah, me too

8:25 am

Scrabbler

I need just a few words to pass halfway and am struggling.

8:25 am

MollyL

Bea, are you a garden gnome person?

8:25 am

BzznBea

I'm just a gnome person.

8:27 am

penquis

my aunt used to put a gnome on her piano seat to scare my brother away from the piano....

8:28 am

Scrabbler

I have toy dinosaurs in my gardens.

8:28 am

MollyL

They are a little creepy (sorry Bea)

8:28 am

mattygroves

I have a statuette of a dragon EATING garden gnomes

8:28 am

BzznBea

I think they are cute.

8:29 am

penquis

i think some are cute and some are creepy....

8:29 am

Scrabbler

Good one, Matty.

8:31 am

MollyL

The dinosaur eating and crushing the gnomes is very creepy

8:31 am

Scrabbler

I passed halfway. Enjoy the day.

8:32 am

penquis

bye scrabs....

8:44 am

Kaplan the Magne

more racist words...

8:47 am

welki

another phantom trifecta

hi, kap

8:47 am

penquis

and certified...

8:48 am

welki

and traffic

8:51 am

welki

maybe more phantoms than grid words today

8:52 am

penquis

hah...i was just thinking the same thing....seeing more of those than legit grid words....

8:53 am

BzznBea

This isn't an easy one.

8:53 am

welki

i just ordered some seeds for sprouting. i used to make sprouts when i was young, but haven't for a long time. if i still like them (and what's not to like?), i think i'll try my hand at microgreens in the spring, when there's more light

8:53 am

penquis

no...i am down to 38 and it's very slow going...

8:54 am

penquis

cool, welki...

8:54 am

welki

i have 41 left and have hit the common wall

8:54 am

BzznBea

We had a farmer that grew and sold greens. They used an elaborate grow light system.

8:56 am

welki

nothing fancy here, pretty much a jar.

8:56 am

BzznBea

What kind of seeds did you get?

9:01 am

welki

i ordered packets of china rose radish, daikon radish, broccoli, red cabbage, red chard and bok choy. i had more in the cart, but cut myself off

9:06 am

penquis

well i have whittled the grid down to 24....taking a break...bbl to finish....bye all....

9:10 am

welki

later, pen

9:26 am

rururocks

I wondered if there was something seedy about you welki

9:27 am

rururocks

That's a lot of planting ..

9:28 am

welki

hi ru - no planting involved, just something to make my life a little more chlorophyll

9:28 am

rururocks

oh shoot I was going to use that one next

9:29 am

rururocks

glad you can take a joke and a little seedling around here

9:34 am

welki

it's a growth moment, ru - but have to skedaddle, oatmeal on the stove

9:46 am

mine is geriatric and that's not a good sign :D

10:06 am

hokie carla

👵🏻👴🏻

10:09 am

hokie carla

this grid is difficult, right?

10:10 am

rururocks

not at first but it is now

10:10 am

hokie carla

yeah, 50 left here

10:11 am

hokie carla

so the 2 wheeled cycle can be a verb but the 3 wheeled one cannot.

10:22 am

MollyL

I guess no one rides far enough on them to have tr5ed there

10:23 am

hokie carla

are the k's the usual ridiculous 4s and 5's? I found 4 4's but the 5th is elusive.

10:23 am

hokie carla

there are adult tr4s and motorcycle ones

10:23 am

hokie carla

how much snow do you have, molly?

10:23 am

MollyL

But certainly yesterday little Johnny tr5ed up and down the sidewalk

10:24 am

MollyL

Looks like a few inches. The bitch is going to be the freeze tonight

10:24 am

hokie carla

yes, good sentence. there are so many ridiculous past tensed nouns on enable and this one is an actual one.

10:25 am

hokie carla

we had like hurricane during the night. it was crazy.

10:26 am

MollyL

We have just enough snow to cancel by belated Christmas with my son who had COVID

10:26 am

hokie carla

😔

10:28 am

MollyL

And it was 60 degrees yesterday,

10:29 am

hokie carla

I know

10:29 am

hokie carla

crazy

10:30 am

hokie carla

origami

I'm sorry to hear about your son, Molly. I hope he recovers quickly.

10:45 am

rururocks

it is so difficult for restaurant industry people right now. I wish customers would be more patient and considerate here. the restaurant people here are under huge pressure for cleaning and other issues and still have to be pleasant and welcoming.

10:48 am

MollyL

He is already over it Origami.

10:50 am

origami

Good!

10:51 am

MollyL

It is hard for restaurant employees all the time. Many people treat them like indentured servants.

10:55 am

rururocks

i think i need to list.. can't find anything

10:57 am

hokie carla

I have made it to 33 and can't find anything

10:57 am

hokie carla

32, finally saw that 2nd row E

10:57 am

rururocks

15 here

11:00 am

hokie carla

I probably have at least 32 phantoms

11:01 am

hokie carla

ooh, 30. found a 6/7 set. I only need 2 7s now. very unusual for me.

11:03 am

hokie carla

guess I will work on my 6 4s

11:04 am

bleugirl2

AR 5/6?

11:06 am

hokie carla

well I found an ar6 I didn't have but it doesn't have a 5 and I still need 2 A's

11:07 am

hokie carla

do you know the points?

11:08 am

hokie carla

oh, just found an ad6 which means the ar6 I found is the one you are looking for. a crafty person may be ar6 than a non-craft maker

11:09 am

hokie carla

found the 5, not sure how to clue. of course no def

11:10 am

hokie carla

it has an adj ending if that helps

11:11 am

rururocks

ar + frozen water mixed up

11:11 am

bleugirl2

thanks!

11:12 am

hokie carla

24 now

11:12 am

hokie carla

and still have those 6 4s

11:14 am

rururocks

i have the fours now.. just need one six and one seven

11:14 am

rururocks

i would hate to list this close to wrapping it up

11:15 am

hokie carla

wow, you can do it!

11:15 am

hokie carla

did I mention phantom geek?

11:21 am

hokie carla

just found a ti6 that is weird but we have a bit

11:22 am

MollyL

Has no one complained about da5/33 yet?

11:23 am

hokie carla

do you mean the da6?

11:23 am

MollyL

Typo 6/33

11:23 am

hokie carla

are lodging a formal complaint?

11:24 am

MollyL

No but you can lo6/16 yourself in the PB

11:25 am

MollyL

6/16 I can't seem to get my numbers straight today.

11:25 am

hokie carla

what's funny is I just found that set. but was it before or after I posted that.

11:25 am

MollyL

No, it is a 5

11:25 am

hurshy

6/18? 5/16? :)

11:25 am

hokie carla

and I used a different form of the word that isn't in the grid. 😜

11:26 am

MollyL

I say if you post enough of the word, off you go

11:27 am

MollyL

Besides, all the party food that isn't being used here is in there. And cupcakes. Even a gluten-free one.

11:27 am

hokie carla

but you just drew attention to it and gave it away.

11:28 am

MollyL

Oh, it's like that, is it?

11:28 am

hokie carla

yep

11:28 am

MollyL

*Removes the gluten-free cupcake

11:29 am

hokie carla

🤣😭

11:29 am

hurshy

hmm, you can't be do4ier than someone else

11:30 am

hokie carla

I guess you can unless you are talking about a different do4

11:30 am

hokie carla

oh, do you mean the stupid one?

11:30 am

hurshy

yeah

11:30 am

hurshy

to make a 7 out of it

11:31 am

hokie carla

I thought you meant the do4 (not in grid) that has a do6 in grid

11:31 am

hurshy

ah

11:32 am

hokie carla

16 left now. still 2 4s hiding. 2-3-9-2. oh, geez. that 6 number does not look good. may as well list.

11:45 am

11:45 am

Sophie512

yes, hurshy, I tried that one

11:45 am

hokie carla

any snow in nashville today?

11:45 am

Sophie512

hello carla

11:46 am

Sophie512

just a flurry......it's melted everywhere except on my car

11:47 am

hurshy

anyone know what the left A is?

11:47 am

hokie carla

af5

11:47 am

jmcnrick

I came here in part to ignore the need to shovel the wet snow

11:47 am

hurshy

ah thanks

11:47 am

Sophie512

Ha! I like your thinking!

11:47 am

Sophie512

no, sorry, Carla

11:48 am

hokie carla

I would just leave it, jm

11:48 am

jmcnrick

thanks hokie

11:48 am

Sophie512

got it, thanks

11:49 am

jmcnrick

no, it is deep enough I need to take care of it. City sidewalks and all that.

11:50 am

hokie carla

are you required to do that? our next door neighbor in our last house always did sidewalks and he was from NY and said you have to up there.

11:50 am

bichon

Definitely in CT

11:51 am

Sophie512

my sister and her family have to keep theirs cleared or they get a hateful message from the HOA..... Colorado

11:51 am

bichon

re 6/24, pls

11:51 am

Sophie512

also trash cans must be brought around back on collection day.....no matter how much snow

11:51 am

jmcnrick

yes, it is required by law to clear your sidewalk within an hour after the snowfall ends. But it is not much enforced.

11:52 am

Sophie512

sorry bichon don't have that one

11:52 am

jmcnrick

on the other hand until the pandemic I did a lot of walking

11:52 am

hokie carla

me either, bichon, but will look

11:52 am

Sophie512

I will leave the RE s until last

11:53 am

hurshy

phantom: geek

11:53 am

hokie carla

ah, to redo the things on your car or bike

11:54 am

jmcnrick

i can't get righteously indigent if I don't take care of my sidewalk.

11:55 am

hokie carla

haha

11:56 am

hokie carla

has anyone finished the K?

11:56 am

jmcnrick

ah well once into the breach. . . I will hopefully be back later.

11:56 am

hurshy

no, missing one

11:56 am

hokie carla

I have 4 K4s and cannot monkey a 5th

11:57 am

hokie carla

bye, be careful out there, jm!

11:57 am

hokie carla

and the 5th is not the actor sutherland

11:57 am

hurshy

aha, got it

11:57 am

hurshy

they are all 4s

11:58 am

hokie carla

I swear I tried that

11:59 am

hokie carla

found 2 D's relating to our sidewalk convo. 12 left!

12:19 pm

hurshy

i have those but still need 4 D

12:19 pm

hurshy

and that's out of 11 left

12:19 pm

hurshy

so D is the hardest

12:21 pm

hurshy

but the one that is driving me most crazy is probably the top F because i feel like i should be able to get the last one of those

12:21 pm

hurshy

aHA, got it

12:24 pm

hurshy

i think creatif should be a word

12:24 pm

hurshy

like motif or aperitif in pronunciation of the ending

12:25 pm

hurshy

like that could be the term for a creative person, a creatif

12:28 pm

hurshy

je n'est pas une creatif

12:30 pm

cybernan

ca va ? - nous parlons en francais aujourdui?

12:31 pm

hurshy

si tu veux :)

12:31 pm

hurshy

un peu, toujours je dit "je parle un peu"

12:32 pm

cybernan

mois aussi

12:32 pm

bleugirl2

ugh DE 5/14, 1st one i think

12:33 pm

hurshy

i only have one of those, it's the thing you have to do to the plane's wings in the winter

12:34 pm

hurshy

aHA there's one right BEFORE that, comes from the BOTTOM D which helps

12:34 pm

cybernan

maybe blue has just received a dump of snow in her area!

12:34 pm

hurshy

was wondering what that other bottom D could be!!

12:36 pm

cybernan

de 4/6

12:36 pm

cybernan

and de 5/14 (not the plane one)

12:37 pm

hurshy

no i meant, i had the de4 and had been wondering what the other one could be until bleugirl asked and caused me to find that de5/14 from there

12:38 pm

cybernan

missing one r from the other corner and coming up empty

12:38 pm

hurshy

i have those... do you have re7/40?

12:38 pm

hurshy

or perhaps re6/30

12:39 pm

hurshy

or even one of the 3 very similar re5/12s

12:39 pm

cybernan

have re 7 x3 from there

12:39 pm

hurshy

gtg

12:39 pm

cybernan

re 6 x3 also

12:40 pm

12:55 pm

joym999

So far so good

12:59 pm

hokie carla

ah, my missing re6 from top corner was related to the re7 that was my very first word. I thought it was a mere phantom because I can only look in one direction.

12:59 pm

cybernan

guess the theatre personalities party going is coming out -- Hugh Jackman, his co-star, and now Whoopie

1:00 pm

hokie carla

I think my vertigo has subsided, so I've got that going for me

joym999

Good about the vertigo, carla

1:00 pm

cybernan

good news carla

1:00 pm

joym999

I'm having a hard time with that corner RE.

1:00 pm

hokie carla

I had to read that a few times - thought you were saying Hugh Jackman was coming out and I knew Whoopie already did.

1:03 pm

cybernan

lol - was referring to social events that everyone is supposed to be avoiding

1:03 pm

cybernan

I wonder how many people in the front row seats of Music Man have been infected

Not so much moving as pointing. lol I'm picturing torpedo bras...

1:45 pm

Vicuna

"... and then my heart, like to the ---- at break of day arising, sings hymns at heaven's gate..."

1:46 pm

Vicuna

(I thought we need to bring a little class to the conversation. Not that Shakespeare is really very classy much of the time!)

1:46 pm

Bugsaw

Vicuna, you put a disturbing image in my brain

1:46 pm

hurshy

no, no, it is the nightingale!

origami

Neither am I, Bugs.

1:50 pm

rururocks

I never cared for her either.. She's really not a great singer

1:50 pm

Vicuna

Let's see, Madonna lyrics about birds... "Love is a bird, she needs to fly..." (Had to look that up, though.)

1:51 pm

hurshy

i like Vogue, i mean, it's a classic

1:51 pm

rururocks

and she's sort of a sexual predator with young men in her life

1:52 pm

Vicuna

I agree she's got a few absolute classics. And plenty of forgettables.

1:52 pm

Bugsaw

Exactly. No redeeming qualities with that one.

1:52 pm

hurshy

i'm missing one 7, do we have a C, D, or L 7, or am i just looking for another R?

2:07 pm

hokie carla

2:08 pm

hurshy

2:36 pm

MollyL

Too true

2:37 pm

hokie carla

I had an epiphany the other day. I needn't be lonely her alone in my house because I have friends I can chat with on Babble. Of course, there is that pesky work stuff. . . but hope to get back in the groove here.

5:07 pm

jmcnrick

Of course, I enjoy the FB interaction, but Babble chat is the best.

5:08 pm

dcseain

Hi, jmc, une, dan

5:09 pm

dcseain

so nice to see everyone

5:09 pm

jmcnrick

hi DC!

5:09 pm

jmcnrick

I WILL have a bbq again some day.

5:10 pm

dan2bit

funny day to think about bbq! :-)

5:10 pm

dcseain

:) I've missed that, but understand why.

5:11 pm

jmcnrick

haha I always think about bbq and chili. I have bbq'd in the snow before. :) but I was alluding to my annual bbg shindig to which dc has come a number of times.

5:11 pm

dan2bit

yes and to which I have never made it

5:12 pm

jmcnrick

I find most people prefer warm weather to eat bbq.

5:12 pm

jmcnrick

well I hope you do some day. . . . just have to wait until I can have more people in my backyard legally!

5:13 pm

dan2bit

firewords! thanks lickety and all cluers

5:15 pm

dcseain

yay Dan!

5:16 pm

MollyL

It's illegal to be in JMC's backyard? Hmm

5:18 pm

jmcnrick

haha it was illegal to have more than 20 people in my yard at the least covidy time of the summer this year. My bbq is general around 60 people.

5:18 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hoo Dan2bits!

5:25 pm

periwinkle

la7 pls. hi all

5:26 pm

periwinkle

nm

5:28 pm

MollyL

Oh, but it's not illegal now. I think a barbecue in the snow would be a blast.

5:28 pm

dcseain

still illegal in DC for that many people to gather.

5:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow, i am surprosed there are still formal restrictions there

5:40 pm

dcseain

we have such limits in Virginia also.

5:41 pm

dcseain

There is an odd amount of traffic on this road for a snowy,icy, night.

5:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

anyone here watched yellowstone last night?

5:43 pm

MollyL

I thought outdoor gatherings in DC were up to 60 people.Which seems silly since museums can let 250 people indoors.

5:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

seain, how much snow do you have?

5:48 pm

jmcnrick

hi TO!

5:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi, je!

5:49 pm

jmcnrick

we had record new cases thanks to omicron

5:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am staying home from the city the next couple of weeks.

5:49 pm

jmcnrick

the rules are constantly changing.

5:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

i do not want to be on public transit

5:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

glad to see you. i am ti5 of this grid

5:50 pm

dcseain

about 5 inches and a half inch of ice where i am

5:50 pm

jmcnrick

right now I am mostly staying home

5:50 pm

dcseain

i need to see the eye doctor this month, so will take metro.

5:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

great. not something you are used to

5:51 pm

jmcnrick

and yes, looks like about 5 inches here

5:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

not a flake here. nor a flurry

5:51 pm

jmcnrick

I prefer the metro over uber. . . better air flow.

5:51 pm

dcseain

friends in E Ecentral Prince Williamat 16 inches. Manassas got 9

5:52 pm

dcseain

i'm going to glaze the cake, bbl.

5:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow. i wonder what the area around the patapsco got?

5:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

the train would qualify for a close exposure becauseof the length of the ride. and the closeness

5:55 pm

NANCY

TO, yes i watched Yellowstone last night and the pre 1883, thought it was really good.

5:55 pm

jmcnrick

bye dc

5:55 pm

jmcnrick

not much snow in patapsco

5:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

i 've heard whining about it already

5:56 pm

NANCY

TO, what did you think

5:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

i watched yellowstone because everyone was talking about it at Christmas. it's dallas for the new century

5:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

i binge watched it and read recaps. it amused, but then again, garbage in , garbage out

5:58 pm

NANCY

I think that is a good description, I like Kevin a lot and it has been years since I watched a western.

5:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

the kids take it all in stride. the language really shocked me

6:00 pm

NANCY

I wouldn't call it garbage, that is what I call The Batchelor and Batchelorette crap along with Kartrashian anything

6:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, i will admit i did watch some reality tv out of sheer boredom, but not those.

6:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

and it's so phony by the time the show catches on, it's staged for effect.

6:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

i spend time reading now, mostly, lots of the new shows just fall flat for me.

6:02 pm

NANCY

yes, all those phony staged reality shows do not entertain me at all.

6:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

i expected more from the show last night. three days of watching and the killing has gotten old.

6:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

as well as beth's antics

6:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

and i hear kayce's vision means the end of his marriage, but really, it could be the end of anything

6:04 pm

jmcnrick

bye all. see you tomorrow

6:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

i mean, the end of us. very vague.

6:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

bye je. perhaps, not here much anymore.

6:05 pm

jmcnrick

there if we make it so

6:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

have signed on for an additonal day at the food pantry this week

6:05 pm

NANCY

her character has been over the top and really unbelievable.

6:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

jamie is a mess. facially he reminds me of dr. oz or the guy on modern family

6:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

i was surprised to see ryan bingham. first saw him in annapolis at the rams head when he just began. he was a wild man then

6:09 pm

NANCY

my favorite character recently has become the young kid who I think is doing a great acting job. I am hoping that Beth gets a heart and eventually adopts him as her own son.

6:09 pm

NANCY

who does ryan play?

6:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

i've been reading the vulture's recap and analysis. it's sharp.

6:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

ryan plays walker.
