wow jilli, you're ok now though?

12:11 am

flosey

stitches?

12:12 am

jillibus

interestingly, no stitches or steri-strips because cat scratch injuries are easily infected so need to be kept open with antibiotics applied.

12:12 am

melonheadjujube

12:15 am

I went to the garage and got a ladder and when I got back she was on the ground

12:16 am

wonder if there are any collectors who would have one

1:30 am

flosey

the old cars that have been kept in shape are so interesting

1:31 am

westford

lots of money goes into them

1:31 am

jillibus

The earliest car I remember my parents having was an Austin 7 in the early 30s.

1:31 am

jillibus

Oh I'm sure there are Model T collectors!

1:33 am

flosey

I don't even remember what car my dad drove, just that it was quite square looking

1:33 am

flosey

I do remember one of my uncles having a 2 seater with a rumble seat that we loved to ride in

1:35 am

jillibus

Looking at tapes of the earlier riots. How dare those hooligans set fire to other people's property. smash department store windows, set fire to awnings, go in and loot -- in a civilised city? Disgusting!

1:35 am

jillibus

I remember rumble seats -- what fun!

1:36 am

flosey

I agree, jilli, it's behaviour we would never have anticipated in Vancouver

1:36 am

westford

on the radio they just said the police are throwing tear gas and the rioters are throwing it back

1:36 am

jillibus

No tear gas but pepper spray

1:36 am

westford

ripping up fences and using them as barricades

1:36 am

flosey

yes, it's just totally out of control - even brought in the Mounties

1:37 am

westford

shame on them

1:37 am

flosey

they were using tear gas, according to some of the reports

1:37 am

jillibus

Police are lining up and barricading roads

1:37 am

westford

where is your daughter flosey not near there I hope

1:37 am

flosey

it is a terrible black mark on beautiful Vancouver

1:38 am

westford

they're saying the transit system is shut down so people can't get out

1:38 am

flosey

no, they're staying with s-i-l's Mom while their condo is being shown - hope it sells quickly

1:38 am

flosey

in West Van

1:39 am

westford

the one they worked so hard on?

1:39 am

jillibus

This is taking place in the downtown core of the city, on the fashionable shopping Robson Street -- like Fifth Avenue.

1:39 am

westford

sounds like Libya

1:40 am

flosey

yes west - they fixed it up to sell, have been looking at houses

1:40 am

jillibus

And where all the joyful Olympic gatherings were. What an ugly contrast.

1:40 am

westford

that's nice flosey with a yard for William

1:40 am

flosey

yes, that's one big consideration

1:41 am

jillibus

Mounted police on horses are advancing slowly and dispersing the crowd.

1:42 am

westford

someone said he can't get over the people looking so excited to be rioting

1:42 am

flosey

but with transit shut down, it's going to be hard for

1:42 am

flosey

people to get home

1:43 am

westford

yes it will

1:43 am

flosey

I can't understand bystanders just gawking, you'd think they want to get away as fast as they could

1:43 am

westford

I can't imagine how worried parents must be

1:43 am

jillibus

they're just talking now on CTV about how people can get home -- Skytrain open but no buses.

1:44 am

flosey

imagine how the Canucks feel about it all

1:45 am

westford

not very good I'd imagine they seem like such nice guys

1:46 am

flosey

to get that far, and they played their hearts out - and then this!

1:46 am

flosey

it seems like a slap in the face for them

1:46 am

jillibus

So sad.

1:47 am

westford

they aren't to blame

1:48 am

flosey

of course not, but they must feel hurt and saddened to see such behaviour

1:48 am

westford

just heard a bruins fan was stabbed

1:49 am

westford

probably not the only one

1:49 am

flosey

oh, how absolutely disgusting

1:49 am

jillibus

yes, there have been stabbings. Insanity.

1:50 am

westford

I remember when the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004 and a girl was killed ..she wasn't even rioting but was hit in the eye with a rubber bullet

1:50 am

flosey

well, the police were taking pictures as well, sure hope they get these idiots locked up for a while

1:51 am

westford

getting them to clean up and pay for the damage would be the best thing

1:51 am

westford

the announcer is getting really upset

1:51 am

flosey

if only that could be possible, west

1:52 am

westford

I know they'll probably all get away with it

1:52 am

jillibus

It's all so pointless!

1:53 am

flosey

for sure

1:53 am

flosey

I must get to bed

1:53 am

flosey

good night jilli and west - and any lurkers!

1:53 am

jillibus

Me too, but it will be hard to get to sleep.

1:53 am

jillibus

Gnight flosey.

1:54 am

flosey

yes, it sure will be

1:54 am

Fauxmage

jillibus

1:57 am

jillibus

1:57 am

Fauxmage

Oh I understand.

1:57 am

Fauxmage

Thanks.

2:00 am

jillibus

2:02 am

Fauxmage

Ok thank you Jill.

2:02 am

Fauxmage

Ok thank you Jill.

2:02 am

jillibus

Much as I'd like to know the mystery, the rest sounds like the same old same old, sorry.

2:03 am

jillibus

Must go to bed now -- goodnight all!

2:04 am

Fauxmage

Good night.

2:04 am

westford

cool.girl

hi everyone clue 4 the ep7 please

3:01 am

J. C.

ep + not out + three vowels.

3:02 am

J. C.

The ending looks sort of 'Kiwi' to me - if that's helpful?

3:03 am

cool.girl

ty is the mo7 anything to do with lunar

3:04 am

J. C.

No, it isn't. It's like the preceding word, with three more letters added on.

3:06 am

J. C.

ψ Ψ ψ Ψ ψ ← W I R E F O R K S → ψ Ψ ψ Ψ ψ

3:07 am

cool.girl

well done

3:08 am

cool.girl

can you give me a clue 4 the mo7 tried loads

3:11 am

J. C.

Well, it begins with the preceding word, then ends in three more letters - consonant, vowel, consonant. Have you ever tried using this site - http://www.morewords.com/ when you're stuck? It's ever so helpful...

3:12 am

cool.girl

no but ile have a look thankyou

3:14 am

J. C.

Those last three letters it ends with are like the opposite of to empty, only minus one consonant. I really don't like spelling things out for people because I don't like it done for me - but some words are very difficult to clue!

3:29 am

Riverdance

I usually dont watch it but could not stop myself in this stanley cup series

7:12 am

moshemoo

I do have a soft spot for the Bruins (my real love is the Maple Leafs)but i would have liked to have seen the cup go to a Canadian team

7:12 am

mrswhiski

This Canadian loves hockey. This disgrace was not caused by hockey fans - just the same hooligans who always seem to find a reason for destruction.

7:13 am

car.eeyore

Yes, the after riots are sad. We have had our share of that too in Boston...it really takes away from the sportsmanship.

7:13 am

Riverdance

what happened that there was a disgrace?

7:13 am

car.eeyore

It is a GREAT day to be a Boston SportsFan!!!!!!

7:13 am

mrpresident

whisk, it was caused by hockey fans

7:14 am

car.eeyore

Since my boys were born, every major sports team has won a championship!!!! I feel personally responsible for the good karma!

They aren't the hockey fans I know.

My dad used to help stitch them up.

7:36 am

MollyL

I thought it was funny the day "flip" was in the grid. I imagined all the midnighters crowding into the PB.

7:37 am

uusue2

and of course sometimes "grid" is in the grid, leading to an odd sense of recursion...

7:41 am

*Po4/8*

10:47 am

stidmama

I can't list - still using the Mac for now. But going to transition back to a PC soon. the Mac isn't nearly as vision-impaired friendly as it was purported to be.

10:48 am

westford

sorry to hear that stid what do you need it to do?

10:49 am

stidmama

I need it to have BIG letters in the actual message boxes, titling on windows and in the other system functions. Without having a piss-poor resolution that pixelates. It can't do that. So I will go back to systems that can. *grumble*

10:50 am

stidmama

The screen reader function was nice when I had to read really long PDFs... but I can get that in other ways.

10:51 am

stidmama

oh oh, I think I broke babble...

10:51 am

westford

I have A's ( zoom out, Zoom in ) at the top do you have that?

10:52 am

westford

but Mac can't do expert

10:54 am

hego

bye for now. bbl

10:54 am

westford

bye hego

10:54 am

stidmama

The zoom in only works for the items within the working windows, not for the title bars or the system messages. Frustrating when a message thingy pops up and I have to get someone to come read it to me, or when I have to use a magnifier to see the tabs in the browser.

10:54 am

stidmama

later hego

10:55 am

stidmama

oh well, too much kvetching. I have to get my day started. (((hugs all)))

11:57 am

Glantarell

ha6 - strange word

11:57 am

Glantarell

evening all

11:57 am

Glantarell

any hint about the po6/24? My monkeys are lost

11:57 am

jmcnrick

hi glan

11:58 am

jmcnrick

i like frozen chicken po6 for supper sometimes

11:58 am

Glantarell

hi jmc - would that be an american dish?

11:59 am

Glantarell

ha6 is an onscure scottish word for the top half of a face

11:59 am

jmcnrick

probably but similar to a chicken pasty

11:59 am

Glantarell

*obscure

11:59 am

jmcnrick

it is a combination of a vessel and a pastry

11:59 am

Glantarell

was thinking popover but it's not there!

12:00 pm

jmcnrick

never had a chicken popover which is a muffin/roll

12:00 pm

jmcnrick

:-)

12:01 pm

Glantarell

i've never had a popover either but alwasy thought they sounded interesting!

12:01 pm

Glantarell

still not getting the chicken dish though :-(

12:01 pm

jmcnrick

i have had a popover--Neiman Marcus is famous for them

12:02 pm

Glantarell

ah, got it

12:02 pm

jmcnrick

vessell+apple or lemon merrange ***

12:02 pm

Glantarell

we definitely don't have po6 here, neither do we have Nieman marcus :-(

12:02 pm

jmcnrick

wtg glan it is always hard to know another countries food!

12:03 pm

jmcnrick

Well Nieman-Marcus isn't what it used to be

12:03 pm

Glantarell

is N-M a supermarket or a restaurant?

12:03 pm

jmcnrick

It was/is an elite store from Texas

12:04 pm

Glantarell

ahhh - like a Texas version of Macy's?

12:04 pm

jmcnrick

It used to have this amazing Christmas catalog with diamond encrusted dog houses and such

12:04 pm

jmcnrick

much higher end than Macy's

12:05 pm

Glantarell

I visited the galleria mall in Houston in 1975 and saw a storefront there with matching 'his and hers' cadillacs - hers was pink...

12:05 pm

Glantarell

and ludicrously expensive Xmas gifts in the windows - that may have been them

12:06 pm

jmcnrick

there was a niemans across the street from there

12:06 pm

jmcnrick

that was neimans

12:06 pm

jmcnrick

i was working a few blocks from there in 1975

12:06 pm

jmcnrick

actually my office building was attached to the Galleria

12:07 pm

jmcnrick

but they had a nice restaurant at Niemans with these amazingly good popovers

12:07 pm

Glantarell

wow - coincidence or what - i was stunned by the store because the state of things in the Uk in 1975 was not good - we had been on 3 days a week power cut in 1973 in a desperate attempts to get things straight

12:08 pm

Glantarell

I had never seen many of the things you took for granted

12:08 pm

Glantarell

fell in love with grape juice (we didn;t have it) and hamburgers (we had omething disgusting which went by the same name)

12:09 pm

jmcnrick

lol hamburgers are good in the U.S.

12:10 pm

Glantarell

we have McDs now but the thin gs they call hamburgers here are still dire - not like the proper home made ones you get in diners there

12:10 pm

jmcnrick

so are pasties like empanadas? that is what i always imagined

12:11 pm

Glantarell

I was taken to a small family hamburger joint in Houston and I couldn;t make my mind up between a hamburger or a cheeseburger (we didn;t have those either) and the owner said if ate both he'd only charge me for the one - so I did and he couldn;t believe it!

12:11 pm

jmcnrick

finally found the ha6!

12:11 pm

jmcnrick

haha! well done glan!

12:12 pm

Glantarell

pasties are a circle of pastry whioch is filled with filling then the pastry either brought up to the centre and pinched together or over to one side and pinched together - proper cornish pasties are filled with chinks of beef, onion, potato, carrot and swede (rutabaga)

12:12 pm

Glantarell

but now we get other kinds of pastie - they all look similar

12:13 pm

Glantarell

so now you need to tell me what an empenada is because mexican food is like hens teeth over here!

12:13 pm

jmcnrick

that is basically an empanada--a latin america dish

12:13 pm

crosshair

lol,your story glant reminds me of when my grammy came over from the UK for a stay in 1974 or so. she was blown away by maple walnut ice cream and peanut butter.she had never had either in her life before

12:13 pm

Glantarell

neither had I cossy

12:13 pm

jmcnrick

but they are usually filled with spicy beef or cheese and on5/10

12:14 pm

Glantarell

nor pancakes with maple syrup - never mind on the same plate as bacon

12:14 pm

jmcnrick

mmmmm maple syrup

12:14 pm

jmcnrick

stats for the A please

12:14 pm

Glantarell

and i went into an ice cream shop in New orleans and was stunned by their offer of 39 or 59 flavours - in the Uk we had the choice of vnilla strawberry or choclate

12:16 pm

buffgirl71

Hi Glan

12:17 pm

Glantarell

I tried a few of the ice cream flavours and fell in love with 'grasshopper' - I found strightforward mint too stong but grasshopper (based on the cocktail) was just right!

12:17 pm

bethanyej

never knew that meant firefly!!

12:17 pm

Glantarell

firflies is just my way of saying I finished the puzzle - nothing to do woith my last word

12:17 pm

12:19 pm

Glantarell

12:19 pm

Glantarell

wa4 - another scots word - a puff of air/wind or a glance

12:20 pm

crosshair

12:20 pm

uusue2

12:20 pm

crosshair

12:20 pm

Glantarell

12:20 pm

Glantarell

oooh, not sure I like the sound of the liquorice

12:21 pm

crosshair

12:23 pm

crosshair

i make home made ice cream from time to time;)

12:23 pm

Glantarell

I once made home made Bay leaf ice cream - same recipe as vanilla but using bay leaves - tasted lovely - apparently the vioctorians used bay leaves in sweet things where we now add them to savoury dishes

12:23 pm

sadie52

nothing beats home made icecream

12:23 pm

crosshair

mmmmm nice

12:24 pm

Glantarell

it was gorgeous but friends couldn;t identify the flavour!

12:24 pm

uusue2

12:24 pm

Glantarell

I made Earl grey sorbet and Rosemary sorbet too - they were nice

12:25 pm

12:25 pm

Glantarell

we just had a long culturl conversation about that kazzer

12:26 pm

Glantarell

po6 - a thing you cook in - not a pan + a dish of savoury or sweet filling with a pastry top

12:26 pm

Kazzer99

thanks Glan

12:27 pm

Glantarell

Americns eat them but we dont have them

12:27 pm

Can anyone explain what the number on the end means (example to5,12) does the 12 mean what the numbers add up for that word?

TY all. First fireworks in a long time!

4:43 pm

jmcnrick

read the help above feen

4:43 pm

origami

Good grief ... much monkeying here

4:43 pm

jmcnrick

but generally the points of the numbers = the second number if it is a 4 letter word

4:44 pm

jmcnrick

double the points in the letter if it is a 5 letter word, etc

4:44 pm

jmcnrick

so to5/12 means that the 5 letters add up to 6 points

4:44 pm

feenixcat

Ah thank you very much :)

9:55 pm

Is Miss Marple a pet, TV show, or book?

9:55 pm

westford

she's a character by Agatha Christie I'm watching it on PBS

9:56 pm

westford

that would be a great name for a pet

9:56 pm

origami

Ah ... I love Miss Marple ... just wasn't sure if you were reading or watching. Yes, it would be a great name for a pet. Maybe a bull dog :-)

9:57 pm

westford

I was thinking of an old grey cat

9:58 pm

origami

That would work also :-)

9:58 pm

westford

I like your suggestion too

9:58 pm

10:38 pm

westford

the 4/9 is what your lawn is when you cut it

10:38 pm

origami

entomology is the study of insects

10:38 pm

Pinikula

10:39 pm

westford

insects pini

10:39 pm

10:44 pm

redturtlehead

I have no idea herin! I am a terrible baker!

10:44 pm

10:56 pm

Pinikula

that's one box, west!

10:56 pm

Pinikula

and fondant weighs more than regular icing

10:57 pm

westford

I would never attempt anything like that have absolutely no artistic talent

10:58 pm

herinfernallady

Crap that is a lot more than I have

10:58 pm

Pinikula

it's rather like playing with play-do

10:58 pm

westford

that I could do lol

10:58 pm

herinfernallady

West it isn't artistic. You get the stuff and roll it out like you would with pastry

10:58 pm

Pinikula

let me check something

10:59 pm

westford

well that's if I rolled out pastry

10:59 pm

herinfernallady

But instead of flour you use icing sugar. I helped someone out at the store last night with that problem.

10:59 pm

Pinikula

Here's the description: WILTON- Ready-To-Use Rolled Fondant. No mixing necessary this Fondant is ready to roll and shape! Pure white covers cakes with a perfectly smooth iced surface. Fondant is easy to shape into beautiful borders; flowers and decorations. This package contains 5lb/2.27kg and covers a 2-layer 6in; 8in and 10in round tier cake plus decorations. Certified Kosher. Imported.
...I'm looking to see if there's a smaller box...

11:00 pm

herinfernallady

Grin West. You remind me of when I made damper on the weekend and took it to Tafe. I got asked ''YOU make bread''

11:00 pm

westford

I might even be able to do that

11:00 pm

herinfernallady

O pink that is more than plenty as it is two layered

11:01 pm

westford

you cook all the time herin and quite well too

11:01 pm

Pinikula

thought it might be

11:01 pm

westford

can this be tinted ?

11:02 pm

Pinikula

here's the desciption for a smaller box: No mixing necessary--ready to roll and shape! Pure white covers cakes with a perfectly smooth iced surface. Easy to shape into beautiful borders, flowers and decorations. 24 oz. (1 1/2 lb.) package covers an 8 in. 2-layer cake plus decorations.

11:02 pm

Pinikula

most definitely, west...using a gel-style food coloring

11:02 pm

Pinikula

(not the liquid kind)

11:02 pm

herinfernallady

I am thinking that it should stretch out

11:02 pm

herinfernallady

Gel style food colouring DOH didn't think of that. I have used liquid in the past.

11:03 pm

Pinikula

(I think the smaller will work for what you're doing, herin) - alot less than 5lbs!

11:03 pm

Pinikula

gel-style gives you a much truer color

11:03 pm

westford

be sure to post a picture of the cake when it's done herin

11:04 pm

Pinikula

definitely...looking forward to seeing the finished product!

11:04 pm

I will put up pics.

11:04 pm

dcseain

congrats, peach

11:23 pm

mrpresident

today is a teary day... just not coping with my stalker and don't want to see him... so am going back to court to get a different injunction

11:23 pm

mrpresident

infern, I look 4 months pregnant! may as well float away!! Luv ya

11:23 pm

dcseain

oh, that's rough and unfortunate that you need a stronger injunction/peace bond

11:24 pm

westford

might as well do dishes

11:24 pm

mrpresident

he is such a f*&%$#$ p#$%& for putting me through all this

11:24 pm

dcseain

yes he is!

11:25 pm

herinfernallady

I meant with the rain dear

11:25 pm

Pinikula

hey west...finally found it...but at OSU (http://entomology.oregonstate.edu/)

11:26 pm

herinfernallady

AND what the hell is this guys problem Mr Pres? Can't the police arrest him or something

11:26 pm

mrpresident

no infern... he can stand infront of my house and put a lawn chair up and sit there for days... staring at me, and they can't do anything

11:27 pm

herinfernallady

Nerf gun him use him as target practic

11:27 pm

mrpresident

he is obsessed in a bad way, one that won't end well for me or my family, and the cops are unable to do anything about him

11:27 pm

Pinikula

you can't get a restraining order that prevents him from being within, say, 500 feet?

11:28 pm

Pinikula

you can't get him for 'stalking'?

11:28 pm

mrpresident

pini, he got that out against ME!! for no reason... he is taking me to court so he can torture me some more

11:28 pm

Pinikula

oy!

11:28 pm

mrpresident

I have all the evidence... and mediation will just give him another reason to be close to me

11:28 pm

herinfernallady

The courts can impose restrictions but are hesitant to do so at the loss of liberty of the stalker. Go figure

11:29 pm

mrpresident

no pini, he does it very sneakily, but he did screw up, so I now can get a higher injunction against him rather than a PVO

11:30 pm

Pinikula

wow

11:30 pm

mrpresident

indeed, and he has an alcohol license, his livelihood, so he is making me out to be the issue to keep him from being convicted

11:31 pm

mrpresident

and his 'mob, goon, slimey' friends are backing him up... one of them which I had major issue with last year in August.

11:32 pm

Pinikula

crap!

11:32 pm

mrpresident

I caught them at 3am in the morning, 2 weeks before my car explosion, casing out my house... was terrified

11:32 pm

dcseain

¡ay dios mío!

11:32 pm

Pinikula

do you video tape him/them stalking you/your home/family?

11:33 pm

mrpresident

but I can't back down, or I die, mentally. He can't get to me in a public forum or I lose everything in credibility

11:34 pm

herinfernallady

My ex did the same thing to me. I would get phone calls on special anniversary dates, when I saw her (his new wife) siblings, take out tacky ''I love you insert nickname here'' announcements on Valentines day. The worst was a very violent voice mail message on my mobile phone when they moved house and thought I didn't have sense to record it.The funny thing was he thought he was untouchable. Went to the police they said it was messed up took him to court and was asked if we should have a ''conference''' before hand which I refused as he was a tool. He left me alone after that.

11:34 pm

mrpresident

I asked to have cameras put up, and they guy I asked is a good friend... he told me that 'stalker' approached him only a few days before to try and get cameras up on his properties, to 'catch me out'.... talk about setting me up!!

11:34 pm

mrpresident

it would be easy to put on a wig and dress like me... I know what he is capable.

11:34 pm

herinfernallady

Honestly some people are just too stupid and shouldn't be allowed to live or breed

11:35 pm

Pinikula

* sigh *

11:35 pm

Pinikula

It's amazing what some people will stoop to

11:35 pm

mrpresident

he refused to put up cameras for him, or course, and couldn't believe the accusations he was spouting... he said it was like he was possessed as he talked about me

11:35 pm

Pinikula

brb - koda moment

11:35 pm

dcseain

amazing.

11:36 pm

dcseain

it really is awful what you're going through with it all.

11:36 pm

herinfernallady

I heart my Uncle for stitching this guy up though ''Accidently'' of course

11:36 pm

mrpresident

exactly infern! a 'conference'?? are they friggin kidding me?? no way!!

11:36 pm

Jellen

Hi, all...Goodness, mrp, sounds terrible!

11:37 pm

mrpresident

to court I go, with all my evidence and people backing me up with all the emails and shite he has been sending/talking around... the police have it all and the courts will have it on Monday

11:38 pm

mrpresident

funny you say that infern... the guy I went to for the cameras said that cause the police do nothing, he will get the job done 'another way'... his wife has been stalked and terrified too, and the courts did sweet FA

11:38 pm

herinfernallady

I mean really if you had a relationship with a person and went your separate ways and then started being a burke why would you even want to bother talking to them in court. Same really for random nut job. They are harrasing you what makes you think that sitting down and having a ''civilized conversation'' is going to achieve

11:38 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Jellen

11:38 pm

mrpresident

hi jellen! **hugs** sorry you came into this convo, but is helping me enormously to vent... at least I have stopped crying and shaking

11:38 pm

dcseain

evening, jellen

11:39 pm

herinfernallady

I am also contemplating sending my ex a message asking him why he did the things he did to me

11:40 pm

mrpresident

i am so glad you guys are here... I feel like I am sitting at a big beautiful rectangular table with a glass of grape juice and having a good chat with my babble friends... gets the cobwebs out of the brain and helps me through.
Thank you all **hugs & kisses**

11:40 pm

herinfernallady

but then I think you can't get sense out of an idiot so why try

11:40 pm

mrpresident

don't infern, let him sit in his own sick

11:41 pm

herinfernallady

No this is the other one not the mental case. Karma has had their way with him his kids look like they fell out of the ugly tree and hit ever branch on the way down and she is so pathetic and insecure that she dyed her hair the same colour as the kids to make people at least think that she is their mother

11:42 pm

herinfernallady

Oooo And so cute. Last night a lady said to himself ''O thank you your husband was just helping me pick stuff up''

11:48 pm

herinfernallady

anyone still here?

11:49 pm

mrpresident

I am listening

11:49 pm

mrpresident

and chatting with lickety and trying to organise this arvo cause there is a storm coming

11:49 pm

herinfernallady

I am stuck with 11 left. This grid is mean. Mr Pres is that your kitty?

11:49 pm

mrpresident

kids will need picking up no doubt, so if I disappear, it is because it started hailing

11:50 pm

mrpresident

11:50 pm

herinfernallady
