so i was looking at ausy time zones, do you know why they are set up like they are
2:02 am
grannyrose
i give up....and play your game...why?
2:03 am
joso
I don't know, just struck me as an odd setup, thought you might know why
2:05 am
grannyrose
asked my all knowing DH, it's because of the distance from the international date line. did you know you can fit all of europe and the uk into australia?
2:05 am
jillibus
I'm baffled by the fo 6/30 -- any clues available?
2:06 am
grannyrose
jilli, it's a plural. add a vowel to fo4/8
2:06 am
joso
fo5 fo4 + vowel
2:06 am
grannyrose
then plural for fo6
2:06 am
grannyrose
sorry, joso and i are talking at the same time...lol
2:08 am
joso
na does not explain why the 2 north territories are an hour behind the 2 south ones, I guess I have to do more research.
2:10 am
grannyrose
northern territory and queensland do not have day-light saving
2:11 am
joso
ah, so sometimes they are in sync, and other times not, tnx, that answers it.

2:22 am
Lizlin
It's always good to be back with friends. A coffee and snack later - refreshed and ready to find some more words. I love the Curves diet that wants me to eat 5 times a day!
2:22 am
sprite
always happy to see you, jilli :)
2:23 am
sprite
lol Liz! For the clinic, I have to eat 6 times a day! It is a whole freakin' day job, with the registration of all I eat and drink too.
2:23 am
joso
brb, need more tea
2:24 am
Lizlin
Wow! 6 times a day!!!!
2:24 am
jillibus
I have 4 words to go -- brb after banana and milk ;)
2:24 am
grannyrose
liz, it's a good diet. it keeps your sugar levels and insulin levels more even.
2:24 am
Lizlin
See, I started a trend for snacks! You'll feel like breakfast soon, Sprite ;)
2:24 am
gran
Good morning - how many words today please

2:25 am

grannyrose

2:25 am
Lizlin
I'm happy with the diet Rose - also high protein. It works for me!
2:25 am
sprite
high proteine is good!
2:26 am
Lizlin
So, a snack of smoked salmon on ryvita was just lovely!
2:27 am
sprite
oh man, you can wake me up at night for smoked salmon!
2:27 am
Lizlin
I love it!
2:27 am
grannyrose
liz, is there room in your diet for the chicken-flavoured thin rice cakes?
2:28 am
Lizlin
Probably, Rose.
2:29 am
grannyrose
i snack on them, with a small can of shredded chicken, lots of different flavours.
2:29 am
Lizlin
Also sounds very healthy.
2:30 am
Lizlin
And yummy!
2:30 am
grannyrose
*giggle* sprite, i am so in looo-ve with salmon. can eat it just about in any fo4.
2:30 am
sprite
you guys have the loveliest foods there
2:31 am
Lizlin
We have a very cheap supplier of smoked salmon in the local market.
2:31 am
sprite
<--- jealous
2:31 am
Lizlin
Funny you say that Sprite, I miss the cold water fish from England - cod, plaice, sole etc.
2:31 am
grannyrose
ditto, liz. i love it grilled with a crunchy salad and lemon juice
2:31 am
Lizlin
Eat a lot of salmon though!
2:32 am
Lizlin
Sounds like my type of food.
2:32 am
sprite
I'd trade them all for a cheap supplier of smoked salmon, Liz, lol
2:32 am
grannyrose
sprite, would send you some, don't think it would make it through the mail, though
2:32 am
Lizlin
I always thought that there was a lot of fish in Holland.
2:32 am
sprite
roflolllll rose! Can you imagine?
2:33 am
sprite
there is, Liz. Lots and lots of fish. But smoked salmon is imported and very expensive.
2:33 am
puglet
due to the weather my chat is going in and out--could I please have a clue for the do6
2:33 am
grannyrose
ohohoh...i found a supplier of herrings, smoked. i think i have fallen in love, again.
2:33 am
Lizlin
Ah, that expalins it!
2:33 am
sprite
poor pug :(
2:34 am
Lizlin
That sounds good, Rose.
2:34 am
grannyrose
pugs, do + double consonant + **, um, i don't know
2:34 am
joso
I love a good old fashioned fish and chips, but of course all the batter and deep frying negats the goodnes of fish
2:35 am
sprite
yeah, true, joso.
2:35 am
puglet
got it rose--tyvm
2:35 am
grannyrose
unfortunately, liz, i eat them with steamed rice, butter folded through it...not something i allow myself frequently.
2:35 am
Lizlin
Sorry you're having chat problems Puglet
2:36 am
Lizlin
Even yummier!!!!
2:36 am
puglet
I got 3 cols. grayed!
2:36 am
sprite
wow pug, good job!
2:36 am
grannyrose
with you, joso. nowadays i have my fish grilled on the hot plate. very tasty!!
2:36 am
Lizlin
Steamed rice - nothing wrong with that (using selective blindness here!)
2:36 am
puglet
thanks Liz, its a pain in the butt
2:36 am
Lizlin
WTG pugs - better than me!
2:36 am
puglet
23 to go :(
2:37 am
Lizlin
Also 23 to go!
2:37 am
grannyrose
lol...liz
2:37 am
Lizlin
I'm sure I'll need the list soon!
2:37 am
puglet
I dont know Liz, Ive been here almost since the flip
2:37 am
grannyrose
at the moment, i am so into baby spinach...
2:38 am
Lizlin
We did tandoori fish last night - on the hotplate - worked really well.
2:38 am
joso
I love seafood in any form, if I could afford it I'd have crab every day
2:38 am
sprite
45 to go, lol
2:38 am
Lizlin
Have you seen the baby spinach and rocket mix that Coles has, Rose. It's lovely.
2:38 am
puglet
due to getting knocked off and my brain things are not moving too fast
2:38 am
grannyrose
oh yeah, liz
2:38 am
puglet
I like sea food too but not anything slimey
2:39 am
Lizlin
I like fish but don't eat shell fish (not kosher)
2:39 am
grannyrose
aha...that's what is making our joso crabby!!
2:39 am
sprite
not such a sea food eater myself. Raw herring, smoked salmon, mackerel... tuna. That is about it for me.
2:39 am
Lizlin
They all sound good to me!
2:40 am
puglet
crablegs and shrimp and lobsters mmm
2:40 am
grannyrose
*grin* liz we are having tandoori and yoghurt chicken tonight.
2:40 am
sprite
now that sounds delish to me, rose
2:40 am
Lizlin
That's how we did the fish!
2:40 am
joso
you can't have bottom feeders either liz, like halibut and flounder, is that correct
2:40 am
grannyrose
so, pugs...eel is out of the question?
2:41 am
Lizlin
Can eat those joso.
2:41 am
puglet
I havent ever tried it Rose
2:41 am
Lizlin
Fish have to have scales and fins.
2:41 am
puglet
but snails or raw mussels or oryster just dont look eatible to me
2:41 am
joso
I don't mind slimy, as long as it is not still slimy when it gets to my plate
2:42 am
sprite
I am with you, pug.
2:42 am
jillibus
FW -- last word means "one of the flight feathers of the wing" so had to find it in morewords.
2:42 am
puglet
or crawling off the plate--lol
2:42 am
Lizlin
Fantastic Jilli. congrats :)
2:42 am
sprite
lol jilli! WTG on finishing!
2:42 am
grannyrose
pugs, our ruby probably would love the snails...personally can't come at them myself.
2:43 am
grannyrose
WTG JILLI!!!
2:43 am
sprite
yeah, ruby loves that kind of thing. Me.... not!
2:43 am
jillibus
thanks, and thanks to ruru for a list.
2:43 am
joso
My ignorance abounds, just recently found out why some jews say the sabbath is on friday, and others say saturday.
2:43 am
puglet
congrats to all those with the fws
2:43 am
joso
congrats jilly
2:43 am
sprite
hi o-o, good to see you.
2:43 am
Lizlin
Sunset to sunset, joso.
2:44 am
grannyrose
it's because shabbat starts at the first star on friday night
2:44 am
jillibus
ty joso -- and I'm ignorant too about sabatths-- please inlighten
2:44 am
puglet
morning OO
2:44 am
Lizlin
Correct, Rose :)
2:44 am
Lizlin
Even down to using Shabbat!!!
2:44 am
puglet
Like the icon-OO
2:45 am
jillibus
can't even spell -- obvioulsy it's bedtime so faretheewell all...*poof
2:45 am
sprite
lol yeah, good icon
2:45 am
sprite
night jilli, sleep well
2:45 am
Lizlin
sleep well Jilli - sweet dreams :)
2:45 am
puglet
night Jilli
2:46 am
joso
oh, the sabbath starts at sunset friday and ends sunset saturday, so one day long, but bridges 2 days
2:46 am
Lizlin
That's right Joso.
2:47 am
Lizlin
And that would follow for all Jewish festivals. Goes from Genesis creation story - it was evening and it was morning, day ....
2:48 am
grannyrose
liz, i worked as an attendent carer for a while. one of my patients was a delightful jewish lady. she would tell all about the jewish traditions, celebrations.
2:49 am
puglet
Rose you never said much on the animal blessings or I missed it if you did
2:49 am
Lizlin
That explains it!
2:49 am
grannyrose
slepp well, dearest jilli
2:49 am
Lizlin
Hope the comment didn't sound patronising Rose.
2:50 am
grannyrose
oh, pugs, it was lovely. our vicar is such a special lady. we had quite a few dogs and birds in church today. very special
2:51 am
Lizlin
That sounds really lovely.
2:51 am
grannyrose
nah, liz. i do surprise some people with what i know and understand.
2:51 am
joso
I've got five friends that I've played games with for 20-30 years, two are jewish, but we never talk about religion
2:52 am
puglet
that would be interesting to see,Rose
2:52 am
Lizlin
That sounds sensible to me - avoid spoiling friendships with talk of religion or politics!!!!
2:52 am
sprite
amen to that, Liz, grin
2:52 am
sprite
though I love hearing about different religions. As long as it doesn't become a fight, sigh.
2:52 am
Lizlin
We used to avoid those subjects in the staff room and I've friends here, where I really have to keep my mouth shut!!
2:53 am
grannyrose
did i mention the two legged "animals" ? there are quite a lot of children in our congregation.
2:53 am
Lizlin
I agree Sprite
2:53 am
puglet
I think anyone that believes is blessed for they or we all know what is right or wrong in any house of God's
2:53 am
Lizlin
Animals is a good word then Rose lol!
2:53 am
sprite
all is well until one or more start claiming they have the only true one.
2:53 am
sprite
little beasts, rose, grin
2:54 am
Lizlin
Some people are truly narrow in their views!
2:54 am
grannyrose
that's so sad, liz. i work with jews, muslims, christians of different denominations. we all chat together, and learn from each other.
2:54 am
sprite
I have danced with most religions and had a marvellous time. Learned a lot.
2:54 am
Lizlin
I like that Rose. Sadly there are a number of very narrow minded people here.
2:55 am
joso
I think it is because we have no one else to talk gaming with, most people's eyes glaze over when you start nattering on about how to win the napoleonic wars
2:55 am
puglet
another storm moving in, so might get knocked off again
2:55 am
Lizlin
Keep safe Pugs :)
2:55 am
sprite
lol joso... true
2:55 am
grannyrose
i find i can talk so freely with a beautiful muslim nurse. she so understands about prayer and connecting to God.
2:56 am
grannyrose
roflol, joso. * rolls glazed eyes*
2:56 am
Lizlin
In London 4 of us often went out for a meal together - 2 jews, a hindu and a muslim. Great mix!
2:56 am
sprite
*keeping a protective hand around pug's internet connection*
2:56 am

It is dangerous to leave written that which is badly written. A chance word, upon paper, may destroy the world. Watch carefully and erase, while the power is still yours, I say to myself, for all that is put down, once it escapes, may rot its way into a thousand minds, the corn become a black smut, and all libraries, of necessity, be burned to the ground as a consequence. [William Carlos Williams, "Paterson"]

10:07 am
MollyL
Three times a lady...or Fee times a mady...if you're Buckwheat
10:08 am
rururocks
i'm at least not as geeky as he is
10:08 am
rururocks
that was a funny bit on SNL molly
10:08 am
Dorens
no one is
10:08 am
MollyL
Eddie Murphy's Buckwheat was very funny
10:08 am
Scrabbler
Been kayaking, Doren?
10:08 am
rururocks
..let me think about that for a minute Doren .. hi
10:09 am
rururocks
I loved his James Brown Hot Tub bit too
10:09 am
rururocks
crossy would be proud of my breakfast today
10:09 am
Scrabbler
Lots of bacon?
10:09 am
Dorens
yes, scrabs, and i have beautiful forearms as a result. (wish it worked better on other parts of my body!) but have been enjoying the extended summer here. unfortunately, I had hoped to do it today but it is rainy and foggy
10:10 am
rururocks
Just enter all rooms with your arms stretched out first Doren
10:10 am
Scrabbler
Not just forearms--shoulders and arms too. I kayaked on the Moose River in Old Forge, Adirondack Mtns, last week--stunning.
10:11 am
Dorens
good idea, ru
10:11 am
Scrabbler
And on West Canada Creek in Prospect.
10:11 am
MollyL
I made pumpkin pancakes for breakfast today. They were good.
10:11 am
rururocks
oh man.. that sounds good
10:11 am
Dorens
i was hoping to get to the adirondacks this month, but it isn't looking likely. Next year, however, i can go whenever i want
10:11 am
Scrabbler
I love pumpkin pancakes, muffins, cake, etc
10:11 am
bichon
Sounds yummy Molly, maybe next Sunday
10:11 am
Scrabbler
You're retiring, Doren?
10:12 am
bichon
hint for the 7, pls
10:12 am
Dorens
i am indeed... this is my swan song!
10:12 am
rururocks
wow.. congrats Doren.. amazing
10:12 am
rururocks
I wish I were you
10:12 am
MollyL
re7 ends with French water
10:13 am
rururocks
I have 5 -6 years to go..
10:13 am
Scrabbler
Wow, Doren! You are fortunate to be able to retire. I don't think I will ever be able to retire, or at least not til 70=72.
10:13 am
rururocks
I'm retiring at 65 I think
10:14 am
rururocks
(hopes)
10:15 am
Scrabbler
I have been working part-time for 20 yrs so that helps me a lot. I have time to enjoy life, to avoid burnout...but I cannot save as much for retirement.
10:15 am
bichon
I retired at 62. Five and a half wonderful years so far
10:15 am
rururocks
oh god lucky you Bichon
10:15 am
Dorens
i am very fortunate -- they have changed a lot of the pensions benefits for retiring teachers, but since I had more than 20 years in the system at the time, I still get a decent deal. I will be retiring three months short of 65
10:16 am
rururocks
*sets out rocking chairs for all us old fogeys*
10:16 am
bichon
If only I could keep Mr. Bich working till his 70's
10:16 am
rururocks
LOL bichon
10:16 am
Scrabbler
Yay for retirement.
10:16 am
Scrabbler
Will he, Bichon?
10:16 am
rururocks
Life's a Bich .. :D
10:17 am
MollyL
<---Will probably be the one mixing drinks for all you fortunate people who can retire
10:17 am
Dorens
rocking chairs sound good right now, ru. I actually just got a new recliner chair which is fabulous (fortunately it doesn't look like a recliner chair-- came froom Norway and quite modern looking)
10:17 am
rururocks
now that would be something Molly..
10:17 am
rururocks
I have to buy new furniture soon
10:17 am
bichon
No he wants to retire at the end of 2014, when he's 67.
10:18 am
Dorens
well, if ru is in our retirement home, we can count on a nicie supply of wine... and if scrabs is there I will have a kayaking buddy
10:18 am
Scrabbler
Clue for 2nd A on left? I have ae4.
10:18 am
Dorens

10:19 am
Scrabbler
TY, Ruru, duh. Slam me with a cod.
10:19 am
rururocks
I think we should have a retirement Babble commune somewhere
10:19 am
rururocks
I'll be the resident sommelier and part time chef
10:19 am
Scrabbler
with large print dictionaries and huge monitor screens
10:20 am
Dorens
hah! i had ordered it back in thte spring before i got great pics of my grandkids there. and have been listening to a book, The Leopard, by a Norwegian author. so you're right, ru
10:20 am
Dorens
i would be a part tiime chef as well, and a resident wine drinker
10:20 am
Scrabbler
And an endless supply of adult diapers
10:20 am
rururocks
that depends scrabs
10:20 am
Dorens
not thinking that far in advance yet, scrabbler!!!
10:21 am
Scrabbler
Geez, I laugh and pee now.
10:21 am
Scrabbler
Haha, Rurur.
10:21 am
Dorens
this place needs to be on or near water for our boats.
10:21 am
rururocks
*note to self.. don't make jokes around scrabs*
10:21 am
Scrabbler
How is Dylan doing? Nice boy?
10:21 am
Dorens
scrabs, that doesn't require diapers, just pantyliners!
10:21 am
Scrabbler
Yes, Doren--lakes and rivers for us.
10:21 am
MollyL
Nice chairs, expensive though.
10:22 am
Scrabbler
Haha, Ru.
10:22 am
rururocks
he is a nice boy.. still gets into trouble though
10:22 am
Dorens
ah, you found the molly? yes, most expensive piece of furniture i've ever bought! was a pre-retirement present
10:22 am
Scrabbler
I stayed with my cousin recently and she has a calm Choc Lab named Aggie. We had nice hikes with the dog.
10:24 am
rururocks
how expensive?
10:25 am
rururocks
I bought a new TV.. comes monday..
10:25 am
rururocks
<---Jonesing for football
10:25 am
MollyL
The one I found was over two grand.
10:25 am
rururocks
whoa..that is an expensive chair
10:26 am
rururocks
Right on Doren.. live in comfort
10:26 am
Scrabbler
In 90 minutes, Ruru.
10:26 am
rururocks
*puts bumper sticker on Doren's car: "I'm spending my kid's inheritance" :D
10:27 am
Scrabbler
I like that one, Ruru. We are under no obligation to leave anyone money. We should enjoy what we have saved.
10:27 am
rururocks
I have to go to some bar or sports bar to watch tonight's game
10:27 am
Dorens
well, i didn't get the most expensive one they have, but it did cost more than the kayak! I actually had a bit of trouble doing it, but sit in it once, and you'll understand
10:27 am
MollyL
I think watching games at a bar is fun.
10:27 am
rururocks
hopefully scrabs if people raise their kids right
10:28 am
rururocks
I believe in spending on comfortable furniture..
10:28 am
Dorens
i've been lucky, I did get an inheritance from my dad which I kind of want to use to help my kids (pay college tuition for grandkids, help buying houses etc) but I do intend to spend a bit on myself as well
10:29 am
MollyL
As long as you are going to sit in it and enjoy it. I know people who spend godawful amounts of money on furniture and they are never home to enjoy it.
10:29 am
Scrabbler
26 to go and I see nothing, so off I go to get on with my day. The sun is out now but we had torrential rain and thunder a short while ago.
10:29 am
Dorens
it only arrived last week, and yes, i am Definitely Sitting in it and Enjoying it!!!!
10:30 am
Dorens
enjoy the sun while you have it scrabs... i have none here
10:30 am
rururocks
*gets bottle of Champagne ready for Doren
10:30 am
rururocks
<--- Non Vintage Coutier Brut Traditionelle Grand Cru
10:31 am
MollyL
Say that five times fast
10:31 am
rururocks
I can :D
10:31 am
Dorens
ah... haven't had champagne in a while!
10:31 am
rururocks
I love this one
10:31 am
MollyL
Show off : P
10:32 am
rururocks
it's reasonable and comes in half bottles too
10:32 am
Dorens
what is reasonable?
10:32 am
rururocks
$45 for a full bottle $25 ish for a half
10:33 am
rururocks
I also found a cheapo Cava I love too that is really inexpensive
10:33 am
Dorens
now, see ... I will spend on a kayak or chair that will last forever... hard for me to spend that much on a bottle. i probably should work on that
10:34 am
rururocks
:D different Priorities doren
10:34 am
Dorens
i used to buy freixenet negro and was okay with that. (have i dropped in your esteem?)
10:34 am
rururocks
But you will spend $5 on a coffee at Starbucks right?
10:35 am
rururocks
this wine is $16 or less and is about 100 times better than Freixenet
10:35 am
Dorens
very rarely. -- starbucks.... reason i bought an espresso machine..
10:35 am
Dorens
ok, 16 is no problem for me! which is it?
10:36 am
rururocks
Non-Vintage Bohigas Cava.. Sherry Lehmann carries it
10:36 am
rururocks
you want the Reserva
10:36 am
rururocks
should be about $15 +/-
10:37 am
rururocks
it is superb
10:38 am
rururocks
time for breakfast.. have a good day
10:38 am
Dorens
ok. will check with my local guy and see if he can get it. then will try to find something to celebrate!
10:39 am
Dorens
enjoy the day everyone, i need to get to the farmer's market before they close...
10:47 am
MollyL
I can't justify spending 5 bucks for a coffee at Starbucks when I can get a whole pound of it for less than that at the grocery store.
10:48 am
MollyL
It's like going out for breakfast. For what you pay for two eggs you can get two dozen.

Sorry re7 ENDS in French water
1:24 pm

Yes, which is why I corrected myself and said ENDS in French water
1:27 pm
Jillyjill
Lunch time...babble time
1:28 pm
jezman612
there are no re words that end in eau
1:29 pm
Jillyjill

"Eaux is defined as waters in French. noun"

1:34 pm
MollyL
Hi Jill, what's for lunch?
1:34 pm
Jillyjill
Carrots and cheese slices...with lemon water of course!
1:35 pm
MollyL
Wow, now that's eating hearty!!
1:36 pm
Jillyjill
Tons of carrots.......might also do an ear of corn. But tonight....BLT's with my homemade applesauce!
1:40 pm
MollyL
Please tell me that the applesauce is on the side and not on the BLT
1:41 pm
Jillyjill
Yes...we do a very traditional BLT...but use sourdough bread...
1:42 pm
Jillyjill
<----------!!FW!!
1:42 pm
MollyL
The only time I can eat a BLT is with fresh summer tomatoes. They just aren't the same with those mushy things you get at the store in the off months.
1:43 pm
Jillyjill
Same here....BLT's are a staple in the fall. Only have a few more garden tomatoes. Also have a local product called cottage bacon, so more meat than fat.

2:06 pm
uusue2
well, that's odd.
2:07 pm
MollyL
I haven't heard anything about Ru's list being incorrect (and I would doubt that since he compiled it after he was finished)
2:08 pm
MollyL
Are you in regular Babble or Babble Expert?

3:08 pm
periwinkle
Molls. I had a lovely brunch with my friend Mary today. I usually do not order drinks cause they are so over priced. but we were celebrating her birthday. I had a mimosa and she had a bloody mary. mine was $9 and hers was $8 and they were in small wine glasses.
3:09 pm
periwinkle
I don't get the clue for the F words
3:09 pm
MollyL
Wow, that's insane Peri.
3:10 pm
periwinkle
I thought so too
3:10 pm
periwinkle
that is why I never have a drink in restaurants unless it is included. this was brunch but ala carte
3:10 pm
jmcnrick
cheaper her even though dc is notoriously expensive
3:11 pm
MollyL
Take the E word you used to describe the male words, chap off the first ef then add an e, an es and an s
3:11 pm
periwinkle
the crepes were good but the wait was over 1/2 hour for the food
3:11 pm
jmcnrick
ridiculous peri
3:11 pm

1/2 hour wait = they wanted you to order more 9 dollar drinks.

6:40 pm

not sure....perhaps they are testdriving Babble Expert
6:40 pm
gatorsam
What is that pen?
6:41 pm
penquis
do you know Lickety?
6:41 pm
gatorsam
I do know that site
6:42 pm
penquis
at the bottom of Lickety's page, he talks about the beta version of Babble Expert
6:42 pm
penquis
did you sign up for Babble Pro?.....do you get all the stats on the page?
6:43 pm
gwenski
Some people have paid a one-time fee. That's how you get a profile and see all the stats.
6:43 pm
penquis
yes, that is Babble Pro, I believe....
6:43 pm
gatorsam
ah, thank you, I see. I have not paid yet, been playing just over two weeks, trying to decide if staying
6:44 pm
penquis
it's cheap enough...one time fee...
6:44 pm
gwenski
I don't get on very often any more, but I heartily encourage it. It's a wonderful group here.
6:45 pm
gatorsam
it is inexpensive
6:45 pm
penquis
i see that you are an alto recorder player...i play, too....and in an ensemble
6:45 pm
penquis
yes, sam....and the stats do help....make it more interesting
6:45 pm
MollyL
How do you "see some members are Expert"?
6:46 pm
gwenski
We have an ensemble! We'll be having two concerts this month. 3 sops, 3 altos, 2 tenors, 2 basses.
6:46 pm
penquis
cool...we don't perform concerts anymore....but we do play every week in the waiting room of a nursing home....
6:47 pm
gatorsam
saw something in chat by Molly L today, she asked someone
6:47 pm
MollyL
Really? What did I ask them?
6:48 pm
gwenski
Very nice, penquis. We have a gig scheduled in January at a hospice house. We'll do various gigs around Christmas. One of our favorites is providing music for a high school's madrigal dinner.
6:48 pm
MollyL
Oh I asked someone if they were "using" Expert. That is the program Pen mentioned.
6:48 pm
gatorsam
at 2:08 PM you asked someone if they were regular or expert
6:48 pm
penquis
very cool, gwenski....we will start Christmas music in November some time, starting with lesser known pieces...
6:48 pm
gatorsam
gave me the impression there might be something after pro, but now i understand
6:49 pm
MollyL
Yes, I asked her if she was "in" Regular or Expert. I get it now.
6:50 pm
MollyL
The only distinction among members is in the rankings, which I don't pay a lot of attention to. I play this game for fun, not competitively.

Judging by my step-son's experience it could be a while before lickety's new internet is hooked up.
6:58 pm
Dorens
if you look at the people's names on here.. you'll see gazillions of names you don't know... so, chatting is certainly not necessary'

11:44 pm
grannyrose

11:47 pm
joso
soon it will all be cleared away and i will have a fresh start, from ground zero
