3:16 am

sprite

ruby! *hugs*

3:20 am

not sure if this is a reward-like grid. I hit a wall long before halfway.

3:27 am

sprite

halfway at long last

3:28 am

sprite

no 8s, no 9s, only 6 x 7. And still one blanc tile.

3:28 am

sprite

3:31 am

sprite

hi Frances :)

3:31 am

sprite

that is one nifty phanton

3:32 am

Frances

Oops! Sorry about that. Hello sprite. How are you?

3:33 am

sprite

I am fine! Haven't seen you in a while. How are you yourself?

3:35 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Sprite :-) Did you find your lens you were looking for?

3:35 am

sprite

hi zooz! No, it has disappeared without a trace. It is an enigma.

3:36 am

sprite

how are you doing? And how are the parents?

3:36 am

zoozzoom

Typical probably find it when you don't need it..tsk

3:36 am

sprite

probably, lol. One can hope.

3:37 am

zoozzoom

All okay here thank you..Parents are both holding up too thanks for asking :-)

3:37 am

sprite

good to hear!

3:37 am

zoozzoom

How is it your side.. All okay?

3:38 am

sprite

yeah, things are ok here. A bit of trouble with son again, but I managed to get through to him and things are slightly better again.

3:38 am

zoozzoom

When will that lad ever learn!

3:38 am

zoozzoom

closure

3:39 am

zoozzoom

Nooooo! very sorry everyone.

3:39 am

Frances

Not too bad. Had a blood test this week to see if I have an under active thyroid. I cannot lose weight and until I do they will not operate on my knees. Thought it strange that I was told I could have gastric band surgery but not a knee replacement. I told the doctor there was no point in that as I hardly eat anything anyway. I think it is a cost cutting thing.

3:40 am

sprite

I really don't know. We were on the verge of having him leave the home on a fight. I keep hoping we can avoid that, and that he will leave home because he is ready.

3:40 am

sprite

how odd, Frances :( I know how hard it can be to lose weight if your body doesn't cooperate.

3:41 am

sprite

thanks for the cl biggie :D

3:41 am

zoozzoom

I bet if you went private, Frances, they would have no trouble with your weight and do the jnee operation.

3:41 am

Frances

It is a constant battle. It has got to the stage where I forget to eat.

3:41 am

zoozzoom

Knee*

3:42 am

Frances

If only I had the money zooz.

3:42 am

sprite

you might want to try to eat 6 times a day, Frances. Sometimes our bodies go in hibernation mode when we eat too little. Giving it regular bites might wake it up and get it to burning calories again.

3:42 am

zoozzoom

I know that feeling, Frances.

3:43 am

Frances

I have been given diets by the dietician and put on weight.

3:43 am

sprite

happened to me too, so frustrating that is

3:44 am

grannyrose

hello my lovely friends. a fleeting visit. movie night at the church. special hugs to you all.

3:44 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Rose :-)

3:45 am

sprite

well finally, there she is :) *hugs rose*

3:45 am

sprite

and there she goes again too. It is not my lucky week!

3:45 am

Frances

I have also cried buckets over the past three weeks. My amazing four legged grandson has gone to the great dog kennel in the sky. He was six days short of his sixteenth birthday. I miss him so much.

3:46 am

zoozzoom

Well in one way I hope they say it is the thyroid at least then you can try and get that sorted. Not knowing what causes it must be very frustrating.

3:46 am

sprite

aw am so sorry for your loss, Frances. It is really hard to let our pets go.

3:46 am

grannyrose

xoxox need to go. picking up some dinner on the way. church soup kitchen went well. i have found i actually like borsch. and my cream of mushroom went over very well.

3:46 am

zoozzoom

((Frances)) Sorry to hear that.

3:47 am

grannyrose

aww frances. special hugs for you.

3:47 am

sprite

wtg rose! *hugs* and have a good movie night.

3:47 am

zoozzoom

Toodle pips, Rose.

3:47 am

Frances

Thank you rose. Hi and bye.

3:48 am

zoozzoom

Was it a plane...was it a rocket...No it was SUPER GRAN!

3:49 am

zoozzoom

How is Caya getting on, Sprite? Have you got used to her not being around the house yet?

3:50 am

sprite

ugh no, zooz, I haven't at all. It is a big empty spot in our lives. But she is having a wonderful time, enjoying every day, making friends, doing fun stuff, enjoying her studies. So that makes up for it.

3:50 am

sprite

thanks for asking :)

3:51 am

zoozzoom

Glad she is having a good time learning. And it sounds like you have done your job well :-)

3:52 am

sprite

:D I really hope so. And so has she.

3:52 am

zoozzoom

Are you not using the spare bedroom into something you can use or are you leaving it empty for when she visits?

3:53 am

zoozzoom

Sorry i think that has come across as being very nosey.. That was not my intention.

3:53 am

sprite

both. I am sleeping there now, so I don't have to climb a ladder to go to bed. But in the weekends when she comes home, I move back to the high bed and let her have her old room

3:53 am

sprite

not nosy, interested. No apology needed :)

3:54 am

zoozzoom

I did just do a check to see if it was nosey or nosy..both are okay to use lol

3:55 am

sprite

hahaha so us foreigners aren't the only ones having to look up english spelling!

3:55 am

zoozzoom

Oh well at least she comes home for the weekends that is good!

3:56 am

zoozzoom

Sprite I seem to do that more and more these days. Wondering if I am losing my marbles at times lol

3:57 am

sprite

:D no way. Just caring more about spelling, I bet.

3:58 am

zoozzoom

And if I count in my head from one upwards I seem to get stuck on seven for some reason like 7,27,37 etc I kind of say twenty s.s.s.s.s.s.s.seven. Very strange. No idea what that is all about lol

3:58 am

zoozzoom

not in a stutter way just holding onto the s part for a long time.

3:58 am

sprite

that sounds a little odd.

3:58 am

zoozzoom

I am weird right LOL

3:59 am

zoozzoom

I do not do that all the time..but I have noticed it.

3:59 am

sprite

*grins* weird is fine. As long as it is healthy weird.

4:00 am

zoozzoom

The Summer here this year has not been a bad one weather wise. How about for you?

4:02 am

sprite

not a good summer here at all. It has been mostly overcast, sometimes downright cold, mostly very wet. A few couple of days with sunny weather, but then with subtropical temps and extreme humidity... not enjoyable.

4:04 am

zoozzoom

Sorry to hear that. We had that for the last two years the Summer had just past us by. Glad it returned this year though.

4:04 am

zoozzoom

Lets hope it will return for you next Summer!

4:04 am

sprite

am happy for you. You were due a good year.

4:05 am

zoozzoom

I think when I retire I will probably try and move to a warmer climate. I reall can not deal with cold weather too well.

4:05 am

sprite

sounds like a good plan.

4:10 am

sprite

do you have a country in mind for that?

4:10 am

zoozzoom

Not yet, Sprite got fourteen years to decide :-)

4:11 am

sprite

:D :D

4:12 am

sprite

my husband would like to go to spain. He speaks spanish. I have nothing with spain and I don't speak spanish.

4:14 am

zoozzoom

I have been to spain before in Alicante. I loved it! Could be a place I could live with. But I am like you in that respect of not being able to speak the language.

4:14 am

sprite

fireflies. With a lot of help from lickety. This grid and I didn't go well together at all.

4:14 am

zoozzoom

Congrats, Sprite!

4:14 am

sprite

well, keep me posted, lol. We can always decide to find a common place and study the language together.

4:15 am

zoozzoom

Would be fun, Sprite lol

4:16 am

sprite

:D Anything I can help with gridwise, before I go?

4:16 am

zoozzoom

I will be okay but thank you for the offer :-)

4:17 am

sprite

have a grand day, zooz. You too, Frances. *hugs*

4:17 am

zoozzoom

Toodle pips, Sprite. Have a great day!

This grid, this here grid, this grid that you see over there - it's a twisty turny sneaky little thing that coughs up words just where you're convinced that there's no possibility of another word from that particular tile or group of tiles.

9:06 pm

9:44 pm

JBsAnno

I just have like 10 more S and T words to find, then I'm done.

9:46 pm

JBsAnno

Who closed the PB? and why would they do that? Is it permanent, or just undergoing renovation? I didn't see the notice, doesn't that have to come forward in a public referendum

9:46 pm

stidmama

wow JB. I am only down to 189, and will stop at halfway.

9:46 pm

9:47 pm

I don't know JB. I think we need a broadcast about it. Hey, you know, we could just reopen it. I hereby declare the Penalty Box is open for business. There is wine. There is chocolate. Come one, come all!

9:47 pm

it's probably the valve lifter jb :D

I miss coffee.

9:49 pm

stidmama

no coffee, origami?

9:49 pm

JBsAnno

stid, the coffee counter at my hospital is called Dr. Coffee, and the menu board features Remedies. Oh, yes, that is a good remedy for Friday sleepies!

9:49 pm

stidmama

I need coffee laced with Vitamin C and echinacea right now... and probably acetaminophen for the fever...

9:49 pm

JBsAnno

Ha ha, ruru, I saw that :)

9:50 pm

origami

Yeah, it gives me heart palpitations. I can still drink tea and half-caff.

9:50 pm

rururocks

wow

9:51 pm

JBsAnno

Oh, stiddy, hope you feel better. Ironically, if they served coffee with those additives, they would need a medical license of some sort...

9:51 pm

rururocks

I better not mention what gives me heart palpitations

9:51 pm

stidmama

palpitations are no fun -- I like tea also... ;-)

9:51 pm

JBsAnno

9:52 pm

I really, really love coffee. I was raised on it. My mother would get up in the morning and start the old school percolator and when it was done she would holler out "Breakfast is ready."

9:52 pm

JBsAnno

Yay, PB is open! Now, who has the key to the whirlpool? (going way way back, kids!)

9:53 pm

stidmama

I will, JB -- it's a teacher thing -- the beginning of year cold -- I a pretty sure. Hoping it won't get more intense than that (usually doesn't)

9:53 pm

rururocks

anyone have the re 8/45 please?

9:53 pm

JBsAnno

ori, I went the opposite way - only tea until I was 25, then I discovered the goodness of coffee.

9:53 pm

oh, I think Wolf still has the key, JB -- maybe we can jimmy the lock?

9:54 pm

Dorens

You know, stiddy, evidence in the chat log notwithstanding, we are most of us adults here, and I think we can dispose of the gate/fence for the PB, yes?

9:56 pm

rururocks

don't know.. i'm struggling with this grid with new words

9:56 pm

9:57 pm

I can't remember Dorens. But it is open for business again. In addition to chocolate and wine, I am adding coffee.
