7:39 am

hokie carla

wrecked 'em? damn near killed 'em! (sorry, I always think of that punch line when I see that word)

7:44 am

hokie carla

rururocks

too old :D

7:54 am

hokie carla

that stinks. I play with some surprisingly old people.

7:55 am

rururocks

I know.. it's because I played too much (loved it too much) and all the concrete just did them in

7:55 am

rururocks

MollyL

Oh the pounding we give our bodies in youth that we regret later.

8:00 am

hokie carla

played singles in the club championship in sept against a 73yo lady and lost 6-1, 6-3, and I didn't even feel bad about it because I played well.

12:20 pm

hokie carla

no, a bird. 2 words that are the same.

12:20 pm

hokie carla

and one regular 4

12:20 pm

hurshy

the BIRD!

12:20 pm

hurshy

they are not the same lol

12:21 pm

BzznBea

thanks my last o

12:21 pm

hurshy

the second of those means "passing the bounds of what is usual or considered proper; unconventional; bizarre."

12:21 pm

hokie carla

if they are anagrams they have the same letters :P

12:22 pm

hurshy

they are anagrams and have the same letters, but that does not make them "the same"

12:22 pm

hurshy

otherwise dad would mean the same thing as add

12:23 pm

hokie carla

I didn't say they meant the same.

12:23 pm

hurshy

saying they ARE the same implies they mean the same thing

12:23 pm

hokie carla

should have said same letters

12:23 pm

hurshy

like, say, rumor and rumour

12:24 pm

hokie carla

those don't have the same letters

12:24 pm

hurshy

well, i just wanted to make sure you knew it wasn't just one of those brit spellings and DID mean the same :)

12:24 pm

hurshy

ugh, i've messed up my negatives there

12:24 pm

hurshy

nvm, we all get the gist

ch1212

I've had problems the past few years with upper body strength for things like mopping and vacuuming, so we bought a robot 2-in-1 unit, and right now it's mopping the floors for the first time. I am in awe. I am grateful. !

2:25 pm

BzznBea

automatic is great

2:26 pm

ch1212

The technology we have today was science fiction when I was growing up.

2:34 pm

ch1212

Now it's mopping under the bed!! I only vacuumed before.

2:36 pm

MollyL

Wow, those are expensive

2:37 pm

ch1212

A few hundred dollars for other people is probably nothing, but it was pricey for us. And well worth it, for the pain and energy I can save now. :)

2:42 pm

joansiebone

CH ENJOY I recently bought a rechargable vacuum. And I almost enjoy using it now that I don't have to schlepp a long cord over three levels of living space

2:44 pm

ch1212

Thank you, joansiebone. Enjoy your rechargable! I agree, I used to hate having to deal with the vacuum cord. :)
