12:26 am
saanichcat

12:28 am
cybernan
she doesn't try to sit on the keyboard -- just sits and meows at me until i put the laptop aside and pay attention to her.
12:29 am
saanichcat
how old is she?
12:30 am
cybernan
she's a rescue - had been abandoned by her family
12:31 am
Gillie
I think dirt is too heavy to be a mote
12:31 am
jeanne314
I had a dog that hated my keyboard. I used to have a larger dog that used to knock my hand off my stenograph machine. I had to close the door to practice or to work. Then came the whining. So work had to go, LOL!
12:31 am
saanichcat
she was teaching you who the boss is. Nine! how lovely, and how kind of you.
12:31 am

hokie carla

10:13 am
hokie carla
I'm about to leave for errands and exercise. 32 left.
10-16-5-0-1
10:13 am
hurshy
used to be a synonym for lesbian. The word comes from and is spelled the same in French, and the French word derives from the Latin tribas, which is a translation of a nearly identical Greek word meaning to rub. In ancient Greek the term described a woman using a dildo on herself or someone—anyone—else.
10:14 am
hokie carla
interesting
10:14 am
hokie carla
grayed bottom row on my way out!

very proud of you hoke...so many people go through life just ignoring the birds and wildlife around them
3:26 pm
hokie carla
😁 I admit I'm not a huge fan when the birds go crazy in the wee morning hours, but like them at other times.
3:27 pm
moolingwa
despite it snowing this morning, I saw house and gold finches, starlings, common grackles, meadowlarks, red winged blackbirds, canada geese, mallards, a GBH and a number of Ravens. Oh and a kestrel was calling.
3:27 pm
hokie carla
I did a lot of bird watching at my disney campsite last week.
3:27 pm
moolingwa
and robins come to think of it
3:27 pm
hokie carla
wow, that's a lot
3:27 pm
moolingwa
very fluffed up robins
3:27 pm
hokie carla
I saw mostly cardinals and a osceola turkey
3:27 pm
moolingwa
oh, and collared doves
3:28 pm
moolingwa
I should probably intentionally look
3:28 pm
moolingwa
there was a gull as well, but didn't identify it
3:28 pm
hokie carla
saw an armadillo on our bike ride at our GA stop (I know that's not a bird)
3:28 pm
moolingwa
I suspect we get ring-billed, but never really checked
3:29 pm
moolingwa
there was also a hawk flying, perhaps a swainson...but was a little ways away
3:29 pm
moolingwa
armadillos are fun
3:29 pm
hokie carla
oh, I did take a pic of a hawk sitting on the grill on the campsite next to us
3:29 pm
moolingwa
I saw my first armadillo in Georgia on an old military base that had become a state wildlife refuge
3:30 pm
moolingwa
would've been 2006 I believe
3:30 pm
hokie carla
hmm, sounds like where we were near. we stopped at Crooked River State Park, and it was next to a submarine base.
3:30 pm
moolingwa
yeah, that may have been it...let me look it up
3:31 pm
hokie carla
but I saw them at Ft Clinch SP in FL a couple of years ago
3:31 pm
hokie carla
was there a giant submarine in the ground?
3:31 pm
moolingwa
not that I recall, I do remember there were old runways
3:32 pm
moolingwa
It's in the right area, also went canoeing in the okefenokee on the other side of I90
3:32 pm
hokie carla
90 or 95?
3:33 pm
moolingwa
sorry, 95...90 is way further north :)
3:34 pm
moolingwa
I've done all of I90 between Seattle and Cleveland
3:34 pm
moolingwa
and 95 from Bangor to Miami
3:37 pm
hokie carla
well, I wasn't sure where 90 is but was pretty sure you meant 95 😜
3:39 pm
moolingwa
I was just looking at the interstates, I've done all of 80 except between Reno, NV and Rawlins, WY
3:41 pm
moolingwa
And probably 3/4 of I10
3:42 pm
hokie carla
can't think of any I've almost done all of. maybe I-26, which isn't that long
3:43 pm
moolingwa
maybe half of I55
3:43 pm
hokie carla
I think I've done a lot of I-81 but don't rem. where we got off in PA.
3:44 pm
hokie carla
I've done most of the blue ridge parkway, which isn't an interstate
3:44 pm
moolingwa
much of I5
3:45 pm
hokie carla
I have gone to the list and am stuck already on the C
3:45 pm
hokie carla
ok, found it finally
3:46 pm
moolingwa
and over half of I-25 too
3:46 pm
hokie carla
curious what it means and how you found it
3:46 pm
hokie carla
the other 2 were a french set
3:47 pm
moolingwa
I knew the word, but it was my last C I found
3:48 pm
moolingwa
the pair I know the meaning of too...and it's just an anagram of one of the other words
3:48 pm
moolingwa
apparently the other one is a type of monkey
3:49 pm
hokie carla
are you looking for the co5 tonight?
3:49 pm
moolingwa
well it's been snowing, so probably not
3:49 pm
moolingwa

3:49 pm
hokie carla
well, one of my t's I know I entered
3:50 pm
hokie carla
I have an internet friend in arvada who posted a pretty picture of the snow
3:50 pm
moolingwa
yeah, it looked pretty magical today
3:50 pm
moolingwa
oh, I hear a black capped chickadee right now :)
3:50 pm
hokie carla
my other T I could've sworn I had too
3:51 pm
moolingwa
still missing a T on the second row
3:51 pm
moolingwa
oh, and the 4th row
3:51 pm
hokie carla
yep, that's my last one. still looking.
3:51 pm
hokie carla
the 2nd row one
3:52 pm
hokie carla
t6 and I know the first 3 letters so I reckon I'll eventually find it
3:52 pm
moolingwa
yeah, I think I have that one
3:53 pm
hokie carla
finally got it
3:53 pm
moolingwa
was it the one that adds to the word before it?
3:54 pm
hokie carla
no, prob one you need. rhymes with a euro country
3:55 pm
