3:27 am

3:28 am
sprite
LOL! And did you guys try and drink from your own mug and went ughhhhhh?
3:29 am
grannyrose
well i did....don didn't realise until he got home and i told him. he then said .... so that is why my coffee was so sweet..
3:35 am
grannyrose
sprite, so what has happened that your night has turned around? surely it can't be because they are away.
3:36 am
sprite
I don't think so, no. It just happens every once in a while.
3:36 am
grannyrose
well i am glad it has happened. do you feel energised?
3:40 am
sprite
to be honest, no. Am very tired. Even cancelled my plans for today, to meet up with a couple of friends.
3:41 am
grannyrose
awww sprite. but that can happen. your spring has unwound, and you're feeling it.
3:42 am
sprite
yeah, that is how it feels. It is no biggie. And it felt ok to cancel, it was the right decision :)
3:42 am
grannyrose
good. are you going to nap later?
3:43 am
sprite
probably. I take a nana nap almost daily, grin. Old before my time!
3:45 am
grannyrose
btw, sprite. my LEFT knee is giving me trouble. shooting pains, and every now and again when i walk it gives way.
3:45 am
sprite
omg darling. Now that sucks. Could it be you have overtaxed it, trying to go easy on your right knee?
3:46 am
grannyrose
probably, sprite. am gonna talk to doc john.
3:46 am
sprite
good idea. when will you see him? Tomorrow?
3:48 am
grannyrose
will ring him tomorrow. i like to try to not intrude too much.
3:48 am
sprite
but you were gonna have another treatment this week, right?
3:48 am
grannyrose
supposed to, but he is still trying to source the equipment needed.
3:49 am
sprite
ah man. Please call him tomorrow. Both for the knee and for checking how it goes with the equipment.
3:51 am
sprite
oh, my publisher is gonna send me the files of my two published books, rose. So that means I can at least start my own translation/rewriting when I am done with my paid one. Still no dice about the official translation and the publisher himself is... you guessed it... on vacation this week.
3:52 am
grannyrose
don't forget that i can proof read for you.
3:53 am
sprite
oh I won't! I would very much like for you to read chapter by chapter, if you don't think that would frustrate you too much.
3:53 am
grannyrose
no problems, sprite.
3:53 am
sprite
also, I would need you to be merciless... can you? :)
3:54 am
grannyrose
yup, i will be a stickler for correct grammar etc.
3:55 am

We have one big box grocer that is open 24/7
5:41 am
crosshair
It is a Metro/A&P grocer
5:42 am
crosshair
They stock shelves at night so they train one of the stock guys on cash and keep a single till open from midnight till dawn
5:42 am
grannyrose
the only stores we have open 24/7 are at the petrol/gas servos. and they are waaaay too expensive.
5:43 am
crosshair
Guess they figure that if they have three stock guys in at night anyways, they may as well sell some stuff while they are at it.
5:44 am
crosshair
and the bakery in store has to start at 4 am as well. Got some nice fresh buns that were still on the oven trays cooling:))

10:14 am
harpjane

10:15 am
rururocks
oh.. the ending I get it
10:15 am
harpjane
somebody's mind is weird, if you ask me.
10:15 am
MollyL
Idiot apology, keyboard cleaning mishap
10:16 am
MollyL
My mind is weird? Well, kind of hard to clue ilia.
10:17 am
rururocks
Ophelia feels left out now
10:17 am
MollyL
Kid deviants or sex with dead people deviants.
10:17 am
harpjane
um, a blood condition where you don't clot? a bone in the pelvis?
10:17 am
harpjane
that's okay, I haven't thought about the movie Brazil for years!
10:18 am
MollyL
<---Will wait for Harp to clue the ilia words from now on. Goes to the weird people corner.
10:18 am
rururocks
I love the movie brazil
10:18 am
rururocks
De Niro was fantastic in it
10:20 am
harpjane
I'll have to figure out streaming one of these days so I can watch it.
10:20 am
harpjane
Do you remember the line, ruru? Care for a little ***********?
10:21 am
rururocks
no.. I don't... I just remember the scene with his mother that was hysterically funny
10:25 am
harpjane
One of the great cult movies of the 70's along with Harold and Maude
10:26 am
harpjane
and Buckaroo Banzai
10:26 am
rururocks
Harold and Maude was great ..loved that one too
10:26 am
harpjane
and The Return of the Secaucus Seven
10:27 am
harpjane
(oh, and Star Wars....)
10:27 am
rururocks
I didn't like Star Wars
10:28 am
harpjane
I got sick of it. I was a projectionist and I watched it three times a day for six months. Didn't hold up to the test of time.
10:28 am
rururocks
when I lived in Bend Oregon.. that was the only movie playing for 9 months in all three theatres
10:29 am
harpjane
We had a double header with that and Saturday Night Fever. I got transferred to a different theater about the same time as the movies got transferred.....
10:31 am

I have returned. Was flipping through channels during lunch. Came across a movie starring Erik Estrada. It was titled: "Chupacabra vs. the Alamo". I busted out laughing.
11:40 am

Judi MacArthur :))
11:43 am
crosshair
Wonder if that was done before or after C.H.I.P.S lol
11:44 am
Judi
After. He was much older. I think it must have been fairly recent.
11:44 am
Uneaixoise
hey nan, crossy, judi, molly :-)
11:44 am
crosshair
Howdy, Une
11:44 am
MollyL
*Hands Judi a soft taco
11:46 am
Judi
Yum. Please pass the ch5.
11:47 am
Uneaixoise
nice cinco de mayo icon, molly LOL
11:47 am
MollyL
I was inspired by Judi's pinata
11:51 am

Fireworks! Everyone FIESTA!

I am so tired of latin terminology, words from obscure dialects, foreign words we couldn't possibly know, ridiculous spellings for words we do know and non-words that if it weren't for the great company, I would give this game up. (my rant for the day :D)
11:57 am
MollyL
Good for you Nan, so true. Alas, when I complain about things like that, I get nasty profile comments.
11:57 am
crosshair
Enable is mysterious and operates on a higher plane:)
11:59 am
cybernan
I wish enable was like wikipedia, then we could each take a letter and eliminated all those crazy words
11:59 am
crosshair
The se 7 is a prime example. I doubt it is common knowledge that that word describes a special seat where a holy man parks his caboose:)
12:00 pm
cybernan
Most people wouldn't know all the scientific terminology either
12:01 pm
crosshair
However, it does broaden our language horizons :)
12:02 pm
cybernan
I'm at an age where I don't need any more broadening -- of any kind!
12:02 pm
cybernan
*!* ta da *!*
12:05 pm
cybernan
Having 6 windows replaced tomorrow, so need to get my hubby moving to help take down curtains, blinds and move furniture. Back at the flip - hagd everyone
12:07 pm
MollyL
Broadening for what? Boring people with words they have never heard before?
12:10 pm
crosshair
You never know when you will one day need alternate words for a needle case
12:11 pm
crosshair
Might turn the tides of destiny lol
1:19 pm
zoozzoom
stats for the bottom right A please?
1:20 pm
Enomis65
sorry! Hi!
1:20 pm
zoozzoom
Hello, Enomis :-)
1:21 pm
penquis
Aa 5/10?...I peeked...
1:21 pm
MollyL
In a typical Zoom clue...double vowel + consonant + double vowel
1:22 pm
zoozzoom
Thanks, Pen & Molly.
1:22 pm
MollyL
And that was not STATS so I suck and will now go to the corner
1:22 pm
zoozzoom
That is okay, Molly. Got it!
1:23 pm
penquis
I never would have found it anyway, lol...
1:23 pm
MollyL
Why "I peeked"? Is it a sin to look at the list?
1:23 pm
zoozzoom
May i say that was an excellent clue though :-)
1:24 pm
penquis
Not a sin, but I did not want to list just yet...
1:24 pm
MollyL
Anything for my friend Zoom : D
1:29 pm
MollyL
Okay, sometimes I wonder why people act like "listing" or looking at the list is a crime. It's there for help. And considering the odd words in these grids, it doesn't seem like a bad thing to lean on.
1:33 pm
zoozzoom
I almost always use the list near the end. I just prefer to get as many as possible without it first. I will ask for a stat in the chat log so I do not look at other stats in the list. it is just a preference of mine :-)
1:34 pm
penquis
Same here....
1:37 pm
MollyL
I guess it's just me. I figure help is help, whether it's stats from the chat, or stats from the list. Or looking at morewords or a2z, or getting clues in the chat.
1:45 pm
penquis
Well I have to go study my Chinese. Bbl to find the last 25. Bye!
1:52 pm
crosshair
School day is done:) The kids have their exams tomorrow, then it is on to the final 6 week class of the year for most of them:)
1:54 pm
zoozzoom
Are they doing well, Crossy?
1:56 pm
crosshair
I am surprised at how adept the 18-22 year-old crowd are when it comes to finishing assignments at the last possible second:) The mature students, on the other hand, tend to use every scrap of time given for each piece and obsess the details.
1:57 pm
crosshair
Drives me nuts to watch the kids laze about till the final day..
1:58 pm
crosshair
most are solidly in the 70-80% range with a few being 90%+
1:59 pm
crosshair
and a few are also coasting to a 55-65%
2:00 pm
zoozzoom
I know someone who is in University here in the UK and seems not bothered about the work.Just seems to be mucking about. What a waste of time and money.
2:01 pm
crosshair
Now that is sad considering the expense of attending.
2:01 pm
crosshair
Mummy and daddy must be footing the bill...
2:02 pm
zoozzoom
Yes they are hence the attitude of who cares.
2:03 pm
crosshair
I think it cost my brother just of $50,000.00 to get his degree--and 15 years to pay it back along with his better half's school debt
2:03 pm
crosshair
just shy*
2:05 pm
crosshair
If I were mummy and addy of your friend I would be demanding status reports monthly.
2:05 pm
zoozzoom
You can get a government grant here as most universty fees are around the £9000 mark. and once you have finished and in the work place and earning a decent wage hen you pay it back.
2:05 pm
crosshair
Then if he does not make an effort he can go out in the word and get a McJob instead
2:05 pm
zoozzoom
I have no idea how they check up on him. i do not get involved if i can help it..lol
2:06 pm
FenderGuy
Boy, you are so negative!
2:07 pm
crosshair
wow. That is about half the cost of over here. Minimum. Some degrees can set you back 100 thousand before all is said and done
2:07 pm
crosshair
Not negative. I just would not support my kid if he was not giving an honest effort
2:08 pm
FenderGuy
Cross fingers for him then ...
2:08 pm
crosshair
University is a privilege, and not something to be frittered away
2:09 pm
zoozzoom
I suppose it depends on what you are studying, Crossy. Plus these are government backed placements.If you go private then you are talking big money.
2:09 pm
FenderGuy
Great attitude!
2:09 pm
crosshair
Indeed. zooz. there are may varying factors
2:10 pm
crosshair
here, were have a firefighters college course where just the equipment alone will cost the student $15,000.00
2:10 pm
crosshair
That does not include the cost of the course itself
2:10 pm
zoozzoom
Wow that is big bucks!
2:11 pm
FenderGuy
Zzz ...
2:11 pm
crosshair
it is indeed. makes sure they only get candidates who are serious about it
2:12 pm
kalea
My daughter worked 3 jobs during college, I could not help much, but did what I could, and she worked darn hard and graduated with honors......whereas her roommate's parents paid for her and she ended up flunking out
2:12 pm
crosshair
Your daughter knew the true value and cost of her education
2:13 pm
kalea
she did, and it served her well
2:13 pm
zoozzoom
I am not 100% sure but here in the UK they have apprenticeships for firefighters so you get paid very little but you learn on the job and at the end of your exam have a guaranteed job!
2:13 pm
crosshair
So she did not waste her chance
2:13 pm
kalea
no, but I think when you have to work that hard to get it you appreciate it
2:14 pm
crosshair
indeed you do
2:14 pm
zoozzoom
I agree with that, Kalea!
2:14 pm
crosshair
Same goes for many things in life
2:16 pm
crosshair
The true value of any commodity is not the price sticker, but the sweat equity needed to gain it. i remember my first car--a 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix. Took me a year to save and as I recall it cost me $1100.00 lol
2:18 pm
zoozzoom
What is car insurance like there, Crossy? Here a young driver getting insurance for his/her car can cost mor than the value of the car..Crazy!
2:19 pm
kalea
My parents didn't have much money, so I did babysitting and odd jobs and bought my own bike for $25.....man, I took good care of that bike!
2:20 pm
crosshair
I have been driving 33 years and with the new jeep it is running me about a thousand/year with optional coverage for occasional drivers. New male drivers like my 20 year old son can expect to pay 2000-4000 per year depending on the vehicle and the area in which he will be driving
2:22 pm
crosshair
You can save, however, if you leave collision coverage off of the policy.
2:22 pm
crosshair
and if you set a high deductable
2:23 pm
zoozzoom
Here you can put another person on your own policy. My father has done that with my sister (his daughter)
2:23 pm
crosshair
I will not do that. I have seen too many parents get their nice, inexpensive coverage ruined when their kid destroys the car
2:24 pm
MollyL
So your son is driving now?
2:24 pm
crosshair
Nope. i told him that if he saves the insurance money, I will buy him the car
2:25 pm
zoozzoom
Is it the same there, Crossy? Here they have to pass a theory test and a practicle test for driving?
2:25 pm
crosshair
Like zooz said, the car is the easy part .
2:25 pm
crosshair
it is the same, zooz
2:25 pm
MollyL
Oh that's good. When kids have a job and live at home, they can often save up money for that kind of thing.
2:28 pm
crosshair
sexual discrimination is still rampant in the auto insurance fiend. However, the stats back them up; many 16-25 year-old males are a ticking bomb behind the wheel.
2:29 pm
zoozzoom
There are at least 5 deaths a year due to teens going too fast and crashing their cars here on the isle of wight. So sad.
2:29 pm
crosshair
the cost drops after 25 years of age.
2:32 pm
zoozzoom
Time for me to eat my evening meal. Happy babbling everyone :-)
2:33 pm
