2:32 pm

MollyL

63

2:32 pm

hokie carla

wow, seems so young now

2:34 pm

MollyL

Nothing I have read about her indicates she was sick, or battled addiction. I guess time will tell, or not. Some families like to keep things private.

2:42 pm

MollyL

Oh, I will watch this one just for the cast. "80 For Brady" starring Rita Moreno, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Sally Field. And I don't even like Tom Brady.

2:43 pm

hokie carla

yeah, we saw the trailer and even mr. homie was like, that looks good. and we also hate tom brady.

2:54 pm

hokie carla

2:54 pm

BzznBea

Yes, we are home.

2:55 pm

2:57 pm

hokie carla

I drove to my mom's this morning and am about to drive back after this soccer game.

2:58 pm

3:03 pm

moolingwa

:)

3:03 pm

hokie carla

thanks, jmc. yes, bea...I am now 2 hours away instead of 3.5.

3:04 pm

jmcnrick

I hate when clients don't show up when they say because I unless I have a task I can dropped when they do show up . . . . sigh

3:04 pm

jmcnrick

2 hours is definitely better than 3.5 hours!

3:04 pm

moolingwa

it is frustrating for sure

3:05 pm

moolingwa

I once drove from Miami to Jacksonville, only for the client to cancel the meeting the evening before it was scheduled

3:06 pm

moolingwa

hopefully your delay will be short

3:06 pm

jmcnrick

OMG mool that must have been crazy making. . . I can stand that if I am at least in an interesting place. . . did you at least take a touristy drive home?

3:07 pm

moolingwa

Well at that time, I was a fairly frequent visitor to Jacksonville, so I think I just wanted to get home again :)

3:07 pm

jmcnrick

a nice me** on the client dime in Jacksonville? probably not since it is hard to bill for a client canceling

3:08 pm

hokie carla

well, I'm going to get ready to head out. see y'all on the flip side.

3:08 pm

moolingwa

yeah, my employee covered it, but still...good part of two days unproductive

3:08 pm

moolingwa

seeya hoke

3:08 pm

moolingwa

er employer that is

3:09 pm

jmcnrick

bye hokie! take care of yourself

3:09 pm

jmcnrick

well that was at least a plus side--no employer for me most of my career self-employed

3:10 pm

moolingwa

yes, definitely more impactful

3:10 pm

cybernan

ir

3:10 pm

jmcnrick

I keep trying meteor

3:10 pm

moolingwa

I've done a little bit of self employed, but settled on W2 for most of my career

jmcnrick

bye cyber

3:51 pm

ChampFit

Hi Je!

3:51 pm

jmcnrick

I have a friend who is an iman and he says either spelling is okay. . .but neither one is recognized on Babble. . .

3:51 pm

jmcnrick

Hi Champ!

3:51 pm

ChampFit

Because babble is whacko.

3:52 pm

jmcnrick

I prefer to think it is dated. . . .

3:52 pm

moolingwa

imam works in babble, you can check by typing it in, and if it says it doesn't exist in the puzzle, then it would other wise be acceptable

3:52 pm

ChampFit

okey dokey

3:53 pm

jmcnrick

I stand corrected mool Imam works I just misread the small print!

3:53 pm

moolingwa

no worries at all, I did double check myself :)

3:53 pm

jmcnrick

I take back my snark as long as one is recognized

3:53 pm

moolingwa

and learned something new regarding the alternate spelling

3:54 pm

jmcnrick

best part of Babbleland is the learninig

3:54 pm

moolingwa

that and the company :)

3:55 pm

jmcnrick

well yes . . . they go hand in glove! <3

moolingwa
