Anyone want to weigh in?

So. I can say this here, as none of you know my daughter and so won't tell anyone she hasn't told yet - but in May, I'm going to be a grandmother.

Of course, I live in England. She lives in Australia. But, to be fair, my daughter grew up in England and my parents were in the USA. So I know it'll be fine. Guess who will be visiting Australia in early May?

8:32 am

MLFAN17

wv men's or women's gymnastics and soccer?

my two grandkids are competitive gymnasts and have had the chance to meet several Olympians at the camps they've attended

8:43 am

MLFAN17

that must be pretty exciting for them?

8:46 am

wvteach

yes, they are always excited to see who the "celebrity" for the camp week is going to be - they have met Gabby Douglas, Jason Dalton, Lori Hernandez, and Nadia Comenici (sp?) and gotten their pictures taken with them. They were "guest" coaches at the camp also so they had a chance to interact / talk with them

8:49 am

MLFAN17

what a treat for them! I know most of the names you just mentioned:)

8:52 am

MLFAN17

this girl i grew up with she did gymnastics until she was in her teens. Her daughter is or was doing gymnastics as well. I don't know how either of them did in terms of how many they won or where they travelled to etc

12:57 pm

MollyL

This puzzle is not limited to the English language

1:24 pm

mkg

I think of that me word as what infants do. 'cause Shakespeare.

1:56 pm

MollyL

Totally missing the Shakespeare infant connection

1:58 pm

MollyL

The Tempest had a line about nerves being in their infancy, that is all I can think of.

2:46 pm

Soodle

The seven ages of man speech in As You Like It. The baby who me**s & pukes in his nurses arms.

2:50 pm

Soodle

Almost an hour late. Sorry. I seldom take account of the time-stamp in the grid. I’m familiar with the Seven ages of man speech, because I used it as a base for my late Dad’s eulogy.

hokie carla

erie

6:07 pm

hokie carla

oops

6:07 pm

hokie carla

I am also really tired now.

6:09 pm

hokie carla

luckily that isn't a real word

6:10 pm

lil*monkey

Carla, do the Panthers play in Charlotte?

6:10 pm

hokie carla

yes

6:11 pm

lil*monkey

Cool! I bet that was fun

6:11 pm

hokie carla

thank goodness it was 82 and partly cloudy today. when the sun was out it was blazing hot.

6:12 pm

MollyL

Oh thank God, I had something to cheer about today. The Broncos won. (Not saying anything about the dead in the water Redskins)

6:12 pm

hokie carla

they played the jaguars and I have in-laws that live in jacksonville that came up.

6:12 pm

lil*monkey

Are you a Hurricanes fan too? I watched them win in overtime last night.

6:12 pm

hokie carla

hokies actually won yesterday too

6:12 pm

lil*monkey

Molly I was just happy that the Skins scored once, and they sacked that pansy Brady FOUR FRIKKIN TIMES woo hooooooooo

6:14 pm

hokie carla

NHL? Carolina Hurricanes? I love hockey but don't really follow NHL or have a team. I guess they would be mine. They play in Raleigh though.

6:14 pm

MollyL

That was great. Loved the four sacks. Gruden needs to go.

6:14 pm

lil*monkey

I'm actually a Caps fan, that's who the Canes beat last night :)

6:14 pm

lil*monkey

Molly, if I was playing and I sacked Brady, I'd be in there breaking his pansy legs. Why just knock him down?

6:15 pm

hokie carla

I grew up on the other side of Va, so I don't like the Redskins or any DC area teams.

6:15 pm

lil*monkey

real

6:15 pm

lil*monkey

oops

6:22 pm

MollyL

Oh, sad, a Redskin hater

6:23 pm

lil*monkey

Oh there's plenty here when I live too. I'm too busy being a PatROTs hater.

6:24 pm

MollyL

I can't stand the Patriots. Or Dallas.

6:25 pm

lil*monkey

OK gotta go, making Snickerdoodles! Have a good night

6:26 pm

hokie carla

well, obvi one can't be a redskins fan and not hate cowboys. I did grow up a cowboys fan but converted to panthers. btw, this is the panthers 25th season.

6:26 pm

hokie carla

good night, lil

6:29 pm

hokie carla

5 to go. TTFN!

6:29 pm

MollyL

obvi = obvious?

6:30 pm

MollyL

Or obviously?

6:32 pm

hokie carla

yes, obviously. it's kind of an internet thing akin to acronyms (your fave)

6:35 pm

MollyL

Well, I am a word lover. Never been a fan of not spelling out the whole word. Just me.

6:58 pm

rururocks

JIllibus would have passed out on that one

6:58 pm

MollyL

Oh dear Ru, I guess your Jerry clue was only for elders

6:58 pm

rururocks

I never watched seinfeld

6:58 pm

hokie carla

I don't mind acronyms, obvi, but I hate when people use 2 and r. ur just kills me.

6:58 pm

MollyL

Neither did I

6:59 pm

rururocks

Are you jelly hokie 😃

7:00 pm

MollyL

I don't think "obvi" is an acronym. More like a quick spelling, eliminating letters.

7:00 pm

hokie carla

I really hate it when people use ur for your. ur for you're is somewhat literal.

7:01 pm

hokie carla

I don't think it is an acronym either. I compared it to internet/texting acronyms as being an internet thing.

7:02 pm

hokie carla

so jelly, ruru

7:02 pm

MollyL

When you get into things like "jelly" that is over 40's using teen speak which is ick.

7:03 pm

hokie carla

FTR, I don't ever actually use jelly for jealous.

7:03 pm

hokie carla

obvi I'm too old for that

7:04 pm

rururocks

Well not for some players

7:04 pm

MollyL

Hilarious. Someone just emailed me "another" meaning for FYI. Can't post it here.

7:05 pm

rururocks

Ur obvi is starting to get to me holie

7:05 pm

rururocks

Hokie

7:07 pm

MollyL

It really doesn't take that much energy to add the "ously"

7:07 pm

and a new one I hadn't seen before - my niece bought a file off etsy to make a t-shirt and it had "ya'll" in it. her mom & I were like, no, that's not right. she argued some with us and I explained to her that an apostrophe takes the place of the removed letters in a contraction and she finally agreed to fix it.

yes, allot is a word. a lot is a phrase. alot is not a word.

and my niece just came and sat next to me on the couch. hopefully she didn't read my comment and get offended.
