1:35 am

sprite

hi jilli, love the carpets!
Email has not been changed, I think she might need to remove the spaces.

1:35 am

jillibus

I gave her the other one to try, ok?

1:35 am

sprite

sure jilli

1:36 am

jillibus

surely she knows to remove the spaces?

1:36 am

jillibus

she's in the netherlands now

1:38 am

flosey

hi sprite

1:38 am

sprite

oh darn, I so want to see her while she is here!
I just checked, I don't have an email from her on either addy, and I do have lots of other emails on both.

1:38 am

flosey

I'm off to bed, too tired, just past 1/2 way

1:42 am

jillibus

she was just here in the chat -- didn't contact me via email

1:42 am

jillibus

I have her email address and will email it to you now

1:43 am

sprite

ah ok, I see :( Well, then I will have to put something in my profile, I guess. Would hate to miss her.

1:43 am

sprite

that is great, jilli, thanks!

1:43 am

sprite

that is much better than private stuff in the profile :D

1:44 am

jillibus

I disguised it as best I could here, sprite

1:44 am

sprite

thanks jilli, I'd rather have it in chat than running the risk of missing her!

sprite

me too. Well, I have done the best I could, I put it in my profile.

1:59 am

jillibus

sprite, when I was 8 and travelling from Shanghai to the USA and then England by ship, he wrote letters every Sunday and in one of them he said something like "wouldn't it be nice if we could talk to each other and see each other over all the miles" -- back in 1935.

2:01 am

sprite

oh jilli that is so great.

2:04 am

jillibus

I was sick a lot as a kid and had several mastoid surgeries, then lots of contact with doctors -- was always interested in medicine -- he suggested I would be the one to find the cure for cancer when I was about 10, lol -- no nonsense about "women's place is in the home."

2:04 am

sprite

he sounds like a lovely and remarkable man, jilli. And you are a lot like him :)

2:05 am

sprite

well, except for the 'man' part

2:07 am

jillibus

I adored him

2:08 am

sprite

a free spirit with a warm heart, jilli :)

2:09 am

jillibus

not so free during WW2 in Hong Kong

2:09 am

jillibus

but the spirit was

2:10 am

sprite

perhaps his spirit was, jilli? Must have been such a hard time though.

2:11 am

gran

Thanks

2:11 am

only 61 gran, but not all obvious to me.

2:13 am

sprite

my messages take so long to appear in chat. There must be a very slow server somewhere between here and there.

2:13 am

jillibus

I must go to bed -- library tomorrow but it's supposed to snow again so maybe I won't be able to get there

2:13 am

jillibus

Morning, sprite, everyone. Not many words today. Is that good or bad?

2:15 am

sprite

hi Sally, for me it is good, I have little time. But it might be a small grid with a nasty bite, lol.

2:15 am

Sally-catlover

That's what I feared :-)

2:31 am

Sally-catlover

Only 27 left now!

2:32 am

sprite

go Sally go!

2:32 am

Atalante

and not complaining either!

2:32 am

Sally-catlover

It's a very claustrophobic grid isn't it. There's nowhere to turn.

2:33 am

sprite

2:41 am

Atalante

2008 is on its death throes just two weeks left

2:44 am

sprite

that must be why I feel like I am in mourning then.

2:45 am

Atalante

2:47 am

Atalante

3:18 am

Andree

hi haz

3:18 am

mrpresident

3:18 am

Haz1558

Hello Andree and mrp. I hope he's suitably chastened. I'm SO let down.

3:19 am

Andree

but the kids do mrp

3:19 am

mrpresident

I will pass your concerns on to him haz.... and punish him accordingly!

3:19 am

mrpresident

the kids would go in to a pool in their undies if they didn't have swimmers! LOL

3:19 am

Haz1558

Go easy on him, though. I'm a woman of peace and good will these days.

3:20 am

Andree

why bother mrp, he might enjoy a spanking

3:20 am

mrpresident

i do believe Maddie went in... fully clothed!

3:20 am

LoriP

Ata, you fib. The last 7 suck the most.

3:20 am

Andree

she did too

3:20 am

mrpresident

he has been begging for a spanking for a couple of weeks now!!

3:21 am

Atalante

LOL

3:21 am

3:22 am

mrpresident

lori, he has to wait !! LOL

3:22 am

Andree

my son had a nose reconstruction today and i just had the best time making up stories for his 2 year old about his sore nose, i included christmas parties and generally had a great chat with her about it

3:23 am

Haz1558

Tell me he hasn't used Michael Jackson's surgeon.

3:23 am

mrpresident

ah the fun of a two year old!! so much tweeking at that age! LOL

3:24 am

Haz1558

Was the nose needing attention because of an accident?

3:24 am

mrpresident

oh haz, he is sin ugly!

3:24 am

mrpresident

LOL !!!!

3:24 am

Haz1558

Who, Michael Jackson or Andree's son? You'll hurt her feelings, mrp.

3:24 am

Andree

i asked him why he kept his old nose, he was quite offended

3:25 am

mrpresident

Haz, I could hurt Andree's feelings in a million years!

3:25 am

mrpresident

couldn't!! I meant

3:26 am

Andree

yes haz, a tumour in one side and a broken nose[we can't work out when that happened] in the other, he could not breathe

3:26 am

mrpresident

Andree is like a mum to me... she is awesome

3:26 am

Haz1558

I know, mrp, I was joking - but Andree, that sounds as though he'll get real benefit from the operation.

3:28 am

mrpresident

lickety had a lovely nose until he got beaten up... now he hates his nose cause they didn't reconstruct to the original

3:29 am

Haz1558

Poor man. Who would want to beat him up?

5:56 am

phandmd

so there is no lickety today then?

5:57 am

redturtlehead

Good Morning!

5:57 am

Eva

snow is far preferable to ice! We had a nice crunchy snow cover until the day before yesterday when we had a freakishly warm day.

5:57 am

montreal13

5:57 am

Eva

redturtlehead

Ho is everyone?

5:57 am

6:06 am

Just a question....for anyone who knows. SInce the Fed has cut interest rates again...Do you think I could refinance my Mortgage even though I am not in danger of foreclosure?

6:06 am

Trifioso

trust me, I am the world's biggest enabler....

6:07 am

montreal13

doubt it red ... but am no expert...

6:07 am

montreal13

are you that fat trif ? ...lol

6:08 am

redturtlehead

yes, thats kind of what I thought. I have a normal mortgage with regular payments, but to get lower payments would be beautiful...

6:08 am

Trifioso

ha ha!!!!

6:08 am

jacq

you could do perhaps, not sure about law there, you might even end up saving more money

6:08 am

phandmd

I have DE 4/5, 5/16

Trifioso

i dont' see why not? did they say there is a cap on refinancing?

1:19 pm

Atalante

woohooooooo!

1:19 pm

Atalante

tell him to get his ar4 online!

1:20 pm

EvaNadine

he said hes good, "bl**dy busy" and would try to get online sometime over the holidays...
lolas message bounced back + he didnt say anything about her...
ill respond to him asking for more details. :)

1:20 pm

MonkeyGames

The problem with the t there is that I can no longer remember which tr's and which ty's come from which T because they all COULD come from both...

1:20 pm

Atalante

oooo no mention of lola? I wonder ...

1:20 pm

MonkeyGames

I am hping to hear from kje. She is in Amsterdam now, not 15 minutes away by train, and said she'd call if she has time...

1:20 pm

EvaNadine

when words could come from either one, they will always come from the upper-left-most...

1:20 pm

jakes-mum

second column down not across sorry

1:21 pm

EvaNadine

well, it was just a quickie response...hence why im gonna respond to him. :)

1:21 pm

MonkeyGames

Either way. Most of teh words can come from either T in that region...

1:21 pm

Atalante

please say hi from me!

1:22 pm

MonkeyGames

Ah, good to know... the laft one is lower... so is that fiirst, or upper first?

1:22 pm

jakes-mum

and me!!! I haven't spoken to anj in a year now :(

1:22 pm

EvaNadine

upper T would be first, then.

1:22 pm

spacemonkeyz88

i'm new to this. how the hell do you play this damn thing?

1:22 pm

MonkeyGames

I would like to join the excitement but I am not sure I knew anj....

1:22 pm

space -- check out the "help" link above.

1:22 pm

1:22 pm

Atalante

me first! I got there first!!!!

1:22 pm

EvaNadine

probably not, MG. he was an original. :)

1:23 pm

Atalante

yeah ... you needed to be here a long while ago, MG

1:23 pm

MonkeyGames

There's a help button above. But basically you just find and enter words without using the same letter twice in one word, and they must be contiguous.

1:23 pm

Atalante

I love the word contiguous

1:23 pm

MonkeyGames

Understood. I'm only just coming up on 2 years in MArch.

1:24 pm

MonkeyGames

Me too. And askew.

1:25 pm

spacemonkeyz88

ah thanks

1:25 pm

MonkeyGames

When I say not using the same letter, I mean it can have, say, 2 T's if there are two t's. You just can't use the same T tile twice in one word.

1:26 pm

spacemonkeyz88

gotcha ;)
