3:33 am
grannyrose
thanx mrp. would have died hours ago, without your help
3:34 am
rubyfoo
we were going to put in paving stones in the part where the grass won't grow (hence, the mud), but I'm cutting down the monster-plant which is making to much shade and we'll re-plant the grass
3:35 am
rubyfoo
uh oh, do I have to go to the pb for saying hello to granny before I looked at the grid?
3:35 am

6:57 am

7:08 am
redturtlehead
It did. I got hired to do the infection prevention at the hospital. It's been good so far, but I struggle with one supervisor-personality...she really is not my supervisor, but since she has been there so long I have to sort of figure her out...
7:08 am
sprite
crossy: when I started, it was normal to NOT finish. Almost nobody did. We did not even know the total amount of possible words :)

7:08 am

JBV I have always wanted to go to Milan and seen the glass blowers!
7:08 am
JBV
i think the glass blowers are in Venice, red - Murano
7:08 am
redturtlehead
SPrite, so fireworks were a real surprise1
7:08 am
rubyfoo
Ruffino comes from Verbania (near Lake Como) and Ruby came from Canada via Milan airport
7:08 am
JBV
Milan is the Cathedral (Duomo), Last SUpper, and shopping!
7:09 am
sprite
no fireworks then, red :) Just the grid and a very limited chat.
7:09 am
redturtlehead
It is Murano. I am not thinking straight its all the bugs and germs.
7:09 am
redturtlehead

7:09 am

I think I had the best meal of my whole life in Milan!
7:10 am
MollyL
I would think you would know you were done by the tile stats, if they were there.
7:10 am
sprite
you did not. It was not uncommon to post your total when you stopped. And then maybe somebody else found an extra word later on.
7:10 am
JBV
mm, where ruby?
7:10 am
Flask1
clue for 1st un8/45 please??
7:10 am
Mom
Congratulations on the job. I'm sorry you have to deal with that but I hope you can figure the personality out soon and it all turns out good
7:10 am
sprite
no tile stats, no word stats, nothing.
7:10 am
Mom
when I started almost a year later than Sprite, we had stats and a word total. No Lickety
7:11 am
redturtlehead
the job itself is really fun and interesting and I love it. I just need to learn to negotiate the person and personality.
7:11 am
rubyfoo
I wish I knew, but a supplier took me out for lunch; it was a place with about 50 different appetizers, all on a buffet. A real "locals'" place
7:11 am
sprite
it would be ni4 if you could find a way to work with her, red.
7:11 am
Mom
I agree with Sprite. Red, how long have you been in this new position?
7:12 am
rubyfoo
our local resto is Sicilian, but he has toned it all down for French tastes which is unfortunate
7:12 am
sprite
later on we started making stats for eachother. Usually the person to 'finish' first would make some stats by hand. Later on some of us had little programs to make them with. And much later Jack started with regular stats every day.
7:12 am
rubyfoo
Sicily should be wonderful, JBV; I've never been there but from what I've read, it is fabulous
7:13 am
redturtlehead
I've only been there 2 weeks, most of it spent at an outside facility. I think it will all pan out, but fr the next month or 3 it will be uncomfortable...BUT...she is nearing retirement age...if she chooses to do so, in about 5 years I will not be with her.
7:13 am
JBV
this will be my second trip, ruby, but the first one was alifetime ago, so who knows how it has changed
7:13 am
rubyfoo
but Italy is eternal....(I think not just Rome LOL)
7:14 am
Mom
My sweetie read about it in the USA Today and came home and told me about it. I was obsessed with it and felt I had to finish. Which in turn discouraged me so I quit for about a year. I missed it terribly and here I am
7:14 am
JBV
we are staying at a place on the coast, east of Palermo, hope to have a chance to see a Phoenician archaeological site
7:14 am

red, you are a wise woman. I hope she will soften towards you and make things a little easier.
7:14 am

lovely to have you back, Mom! I have always felt that playing a game is only for fun. As soon as things are not fun anymore, change them or stop. We have obligations enough outside of play ;)
7:15 am

I'm thinking I'll be driven to finish this, though usually I am happy with halfway on big ones because this one is a HISTORICAL LANDMARK!, lol!
7:16 am
Mom
that is the truth, Sprite. I have been back since 2006. I have left word with my sweetie to let you all know of my demise when it occurs. (at least 46 years from now)
7:16 am
rbud
so I can say "I was there for the big one of '12"...
7:16 am

you have NO permission for that yet, Mom ;) Better wait another 100 years cause I don't wanna miss you.
7:17 am

Jayk -- probably. I don't even think I'll look at the grid today; I'll just close my eyes and type words and assume that most of them must be in the grid, statistically speaking.

this is going to be a horrible grid -- I'm going to just start typing in the same words over and over again because I'll forget the 300 or so words I've already typed in. (Once I get to 300 that is)

I was waiting for you to perk up Molly!
3:44 pm
Angelsong
I maade a clear ch6/27 to finish the grid today; the ch7/40 were to do it or find other things to do...I could hear a ch5/14 in my mind as I decided. Ch6/24 make such beautiful music....I wouldn't ch5/14 myself out of the fun of this grid, and I don't think anyone ch6/24 who goes to a list today.
3:44 pm
MollyL
Look it up, it's always associated with bad things. Illness, drug abuse, etc.
3:45 pm
ChampFit
