12:42 am

cybernan

we've been watching pbs -- first ABBA then the BeeGees

12:43 am

grannyrose

sure does nan. we all have the same sense of humour so after a quick round of how are yous we start cracking jokes etc. our poor spouses don't know what to say. they're usually on the floor laughing too hard to comment. and today my bro's fiancee in Thailand joined us. so lovely to see her too.

12:44 am

cybernan

as long as she's not having 2nd thoughts now :D

12:46 am

grannyrose

lolll oh no. she endured a 13 hour bus trip to try and get her "partner" visa in order. she can't wait to come back to us. i'm not sure how she is going to deal with the fact her own children and grandson are left in Thailand.

12:50 am

Hi all. I haven't played this game in years. I forgot how much fun it is. I've almost got the board done, but I can't figure out the two EN words. Any hints for me?

10:44 pm

dcseain

hello, joy!

10:45 pm

10:47 pm

joym999

Hi dcseain. Do you live in DC?

10:48 pm

dcseain

dcseain

though i've spent a lot of time this year at My Eye Doctor on Connecticut Ave NW just South of Dupont Circle.

10:50 pm

joym999

I used to live in Capitol Hill, near Lincoln Park.

10:51 pm

dcseain

i lived across years in the 1300 block of MD Ave NE, at F and 10th NE, 700 block of G NE, and lastly in the 2500 block of Univesity Dr NW near Meridian Hill Park.

10:52 pm

joym999

sounds like we used to be neighbors. I miss Eastern Market.

10:53 pm

dcseain

I liked NE Capitol Hill much better than Columbia Heights.

10:54 pm

joym999

I liked Capitol Hill a lot, but around the time I left (2004) it was changing a lot.

10:54 pm

dcseain

I sometimes walk the wrong way on the W side of town having lived so long E of the Capitol.

10:55 pm

dcseain

i left to VA in 2001. I lived in the hood that is now all gentrified near 13th and MD and H NE mostly.

10:57 pm

Fireworks! I forgot how satisfying that was.

10:57 pm

dcseain

Big time gentrified, yes.
