1:55 am

i hope the retreat is good. i loved the few i have been on. always come home revitalised.
1:56 am

it is meant to be inspirational and supportive for all oa members. They do it once a year in germany, and once a year on a smaller scale in the netherlands. For now, I just am nervous as can be, lol. We'll see.
1:56 am
grannyrose
how are you travelling to get there?
1:57 am
sprite
I will take the train to hilversum. From there I can hitch a ride all the way there, with two oa fellows. Very nice!
1:58 am

1:59 am

2:04 am
grannyrose
awww honey. you are going to love it. btw how's rob? i thought you said he was unwell yesterday....
2:05 am
sprite
yes, we thought it was a flu, but he went to the doctor and she said it is an inflammation of a thingy in the bowels. Got medication and yesterday was better, and today he feels fine. Went to work even.
2:11 am
grannyrose
nice that you got on top of it early.
2:13 am
sprite
indeed. She even called the specialist in the hospital to see if Rob had to go in for an echo. Did a blood test for inflammation markers (?) and it was literally on the edge of going to the hospital or taking meds and see how it went for another day. Glad they decided it could wait a day longer.
2:17 am
grannyrose
the test was probably a white cell count, which goes up if there is an infection/inflammation happening any where in the body.
2:17 am
sprite
fireflies. *hugs* my darling. I'll hold you in my prayers.
2:18 am
sprite
yes, that is probably it.

Fake news ... fake memories ..
How would you feel if someone implanted a fake memory into your mind?
Based on surprising new research, it’s possible. Your memory is malleable and can easily be fooled into remembering something that isn’t 100 percent true.
In fact, all it takes to create a false memory is a little “help” from your friends…

ty diane
9:31 pm
dianedecoder
I'm just getting started, but there are some "different" words in this grid. I am finding it more and more so, .....almost as if words are being made up just to create a grid.
9:32 pm
cybernan
I feel the same way, diane
9:32 pm
dianedecoder
When I first started playing, I used to know most of the words from doing crosswords for eons, but it has changed.
9:33 pm
dianedecoder
.... as if we'd even use half of them in conversation, right ?? NOT !
9:36 pm
cybernan
stuck on the fa 7, 6 and fl 8
9:37 pm
dianedecoder
just found the fl......sounds like you might want to scratch it !!

9:38 pm
dianedecoder
you needed the fl 8
9:38 pm
cybernan
yes - had the 6
9:43 pm
dianedecoder
found FL 8 but don't know how to clue it....sounds like the end of the scale with which earthquakes are measured..
9:44 pm
cybernan
ty diane -- that was a good clue
9:44 pm
dianedecoder
actually, that is how it ends
9:45 pm
dianedecoder
I play differently than most, I think.....I start at the top a
9:46 pm
dianedecoder
top left hand corner and work my way systematically through the grid....a little OCD perhaps?

9:59 pm
cybernan
we had some rain last night but yesterday was perfect golf weather -- raining this evening as wel, but was clear all day.
10:00 pm
dianedecoder
found the 7 ....first 4 letters of the Maltese bird, and past tense of activity you do at mealtime.
10:02 pm
cybernan
^5 - just found it too
10:03 pm
dianedecoder
we actually had snow flurries yesterday morning, but soon turned to rain.
10:04 pm
cybernan
ouch -- feel like I missed summer this year -- only played golf 14 times so far -- first the course was flooded, then it was way too hot (33+), then it was too smokey to be out.
10:04 pm
dianedecoder
^5 back to you !! Going to go phone my sister in Victoria...I'll see you at the flip......I am usually here but don't get into the dash for long words....I just play my same old method !!
10:05 pm
cybernan
good night, diane -- don't know if I'll make the flip -- was up at 5am
10:06 pm
dianedecoder
I didn't play much either....and I'm only able to do 9 holes these days. Hubby makes up for both of us !
Oh dear.... that is early ! Well, see you, whenever :-)
