rururocks

1:02 am

VolleymomDee

good to know

1:03 am

scouser

this grid contains a Scots word for marsh - merse - which it steadfastly rejects - must be the only Scots/border/esoteric dialect word not in Enable

1:03 am

grannyrose

lol, scouser. you think?

1:04 am

rururocks

but it will take crap in french scouser. :D

1:05 am

scouser

a good knowledge of border Scots certainly helps to do the grids. Yes ru I was surprised at that - this grid has biblical verb for it

1:40 am

grannyrose

1:40 am

VolleymomDee

ty both!! HUGS!!!~

1:40 am

Lizlin

Sure is! Busy year - been with hubby for 10 years, married for 5, citizenship and hit the big 6 in Dec!

1:41 am

grannyrose

ooh, liz. have you been in touch with flosey and jilli?

1:42 am

Lizlin

We're not going to have spare time, unfortunately. We've done something so unlike us and booked a tour! Totally time filled - also meeting with cousins in Vancouver and friends who're coming here. Next time though, I hope!

1:42 am

grannyrose

aah, liz....9 months younger than i...don't forget to apply for your senior's card...lol

1:43 am

Lizlin

Will do Rose! Hubby got his last year!

1:44 am

Lizlin

Sad that prob won't meet Flosey and Jilli - if I have any time (though I'm sure I won't) I will contact them - but not publicly! We're both very suspicious and untrusting of open sites!

1:44 am

grannyrose

such a buzz, liz. down here they are pretty lax. seniors meals are smaller, granted, but very cost-effective

1:44 am

Lizlin

Have used hubby's card at cinema etc!

1:45 am

grannyrose

awww, liz! jilli is such a buzz

1:45 am

Lizlin

I love the chats I've had but this was all booked a very long time ago - before I babbled!

1:46 am

grannyrose

i email jilli and rubyfoo regularly. also sarah and dee. they are such wonderful peeps.

1:47 am

grannyrose

not too late, hun.

1:47 am

Lizlin

Yes, I agree. I really like most people I chat to here! It's a really friendly site. I missed out on all the nastiness before my time!

1:48 am

grannyrose

and i didn't mention neil and ruru. brilliant peeps to correspond with. and what about moi??

1:49 am

Lizlin

I agree again - all of you! Everyone I chat to is really lovely - - actually too many to mention!

1:50 am

grannyrose

lol, so agree.

1:50 am

Lizlin

The time zones make it really interesting. Different people online at different times and because QLD doesn't change its clocks, that's meant I've seen some other people too!

1:51 am

Lizlin

Actually, Rose, you were one of the first really friendly people that chatted to me!

1:52 am

sandyloo
