12:47 am

grannyrose

glad you had a lovely time at the party. not so good about the pain, you poor darling.

12:48 am

sprite

ah well, it is part of the deal, I know beforehand. Sometimes you just have to decide something is worth the two days of afterpain. Family is SO worth it.

12:48 am

grannyrose

true that.

12:50 am

sprite

Tim and Lisa are moving into their new home September 1. And it looks like Caya will go back to Juno by then as well.

12:50 am

GroovyKiwi

I’m in pain myself today. Overdid the gardening yesterday and backs of knees, shoulders, neck, back, waist, and feet are killing me - guess its time Foxy traded me in 😂

12:50 am

grannyrose

was your night any better? with the new magnesium?

12:50 am

sprite

ouch Kiwi, healing vibes to your poor body! And no trading in allowed. He has you, warts and all.

12:58 am

grannyrose

12:59 am

GroovyKiwi

Nice to see your name in the grid tonight granny

1:00 am

grannyrose

i thought he was going to trade the guzzi in, nut no....apparently it's going to be unregistered, and left sitting in the shed, along with the suzuki.

1:00 am

grannyrose

1:00 am

Shellbell_o-well

1:01 am

sprite

little motorcycle hoarder, he!

1:01 am

grannyrose

1:03 am

GroovyKiwi

Yeah someone like moi 😝

1:03 am

sprite

1:04 am

grannyrose

* blink, blink *

1:04 am

grannyrose

1:04 am

GroovyKiwi

Foxy would not be impressed

1:05 am

sprite

I am very sensitive to those vibes. Almost psychic.

1:05 am

grannyrose

wouldn't he be on the back, Kiwi?

1:05 am

grannyrose

roflol..Sprite

1:06 am

GroovyKiwi

Nope. He doesn’t want me to have one 😥

1:07 am

grannyrose

where's his sense of adventure? lol

1:08 am

GroovyKiwi

Only if it has four wheels or more

1:08 am

sprite

I'd tell him: if you want me on my back, I want you on the back. Or not. *evil grin*

1:08 am

grannyrose

you could always put a couple of spares on the back..*giggle* or what about a trike?

1:09 am

GroovyKiwi

Gee mayaswell give up.
Can’t have Norse, can’t have Gaul. What is this place coming to? Atrix would be appalled 😨

1:10 am

grannyrose

hey, get one with a sidecar which has two wheels of it's own. there you go. 4 wheels.

1:10 am

GroovyKiwi

Omg there’s a gorgeous purple trike a few houses up the road

1:10 am

sprite

true, Kiwi :D

1:10 am

GroovyKiwi

Ohhhhhh we could play George and Mildred except Mildred be driving lol

1:10 am

sprite

hokie carla

7:31 am

MollyL

Words like that don't stick in my memory banks.

7:32 am

hokie carla

7:37 am

MollyL

Sad news here over the weekend. A six-year-old went missing at a community park and ended up being found dead in a pond. I feel bad for his family.

8:35 am

hurshy

when you say "famous snubbed word" do you mean the word is snubbed as in not in enable, or does the word MEAN snubbed?

8:35 am

phaeton

that is not the definition

8:37 am

hurshy

or snubbed as in it IS in enable but it's derogatory so people complain when we have it

8:37 am

MollyL

I thought she was talking about the oriental noodles which is not allowed by Enable

72 Temple Owl

10:56 am

hokie carla

10:57 am

hokie carla

10:58 am

hokie carla

pen, are you counting the od4 in that?

10:58 am

wow, that co7 is very odd (went back to read the thread about it)

12:49 pm

hurshy

Shirlockc

oops again

1:14 pm

MollyL

I would never think of making that co5 a past tense. I would write "did the co5". The past tense sounds ten shades of wrong.

that CO5 past tense does look strange but then cha-chaed is also used...sigh

1:23 pm

montreal13

gotta go - poof

1:34 pm

MollyL

Again, I think "did the cha-cha" sounds more like English and less like a mess.
