Matty, how did the interview go?
12:03 am
mattygroves
Very well! Apparently, they are even considering creating a role just for me and my skill set. They liked my quirkiness, which is nice

We have all vowed including our sheriff to not say the shooters name out loud. To focus on healing our community and the victims. Yes Dee such senselessness.

hiya matty. How did the interview go?
4:22 am

Well thanks! Apparently they are considering creating a role to fit my skills, rather than having me fit myself to therole
4:22 am

woooot that is awesome!
4:23 am

Early days yet - I won't know for sure until next week when they see the rest of the candidates

4:30 am

How are you this morning?
4:31 am

I am fine, thanks :) Yeah, lots of phantoms in this grid.
4:34 am

4:34 am

hiya bichon :) most timely
4:35 am
sprite
well, this enable wordlist does not recognize 'internet' so I guess spam would be out too
4:37 am
mattygroves
Well, spam IS also a foodstuff (though I guess it's a proper noun in that usage)
4:37 am
sprite
yeah, then it is capitalized. It is hard to win with enable, lol
4:38 am

The number of times I've entered pemento, even knowing it's spelled with an I
4:38 am

4:39 am

And tomato and variants
4:39 am

that one too
4:40 am
mattygroves
I fear I shall have to go to the list. I'm as stuck as something stuck firm with duct tape
4:40 am
sprite
that is pretty stuck. And that is what the list is for :)
4:41 am
mattygroves
Because I'm on a Mac, I can't use expert so I try to get on as far as I can without to save me double entering words
4:42 am
sprite
yeah it is a shame there is no expert for apple. Someone with a Mac should create one.
4:42 am
mattygroves
Sadly, I haven't the skills
4:42 am

me neither, nor the Mac, lol
4:46 am

The number of -men words I've tried...

*hugs crossy* good morning :)
4:59 am

g'day crossy, our main man....
4:59 am

5:01 am
sprite
or a slightly darker lilac too
5:02 am
grannyrose
didn't think of a blue... i think i can find something in the wardrobe....and i also found an apricot coloured top just right for my beige harem pants.
5:03 am
sprite
perfect, rose. How lovely. Good finds :)
5:03 am
grannyrose
sprite, as it is plain i can where a multi or patterned .
5:03 am
sprite
oh, yes that is true too. I don't have a lot of multi or patterned clothes, I usually wear plain ones.
5:04 am
sprite
crossy, how are you and the lovely Elegant doing?
5:07 am
grannyrose
looks like the lure of the cuppa has captured crossy
5:07 am

yeah, was thinking the same thing. I hope he will bring us a cuppa too
5:08 am

Ooh - a cup of tea would be lovely
5:09 am

This morning, my poor husband left, by ambulance, for a nursing home.
6:09 am
crosshair
I am so glad. You have had a tough row to hoe the past little bit, so I am very happy to hear that the treatments are going well for you:)
6:09 am
JBV
that' is a hard transition for both of you, but I guess you know it's the only right choice especially now
6:09 am
rubyfoo
I am sad and relieved but I couldn't manaGE THINGS ANY LONGER AND A LADY AT THE GOVERNMENT ARRANGED AN URGENT ONE-MONTH PLACEMENT, UNFORTUNATELY AT A DISTANCE FROM HERE
6:09 am
mattygroves
OH, ruby, are you ok?
6:09 am
JBV
one month? and then what happens?
6:10 am
rubyfoo
Hello Matty. Sorry about the caps.
6:10 am
rubyfoo
I don't know what happens after, but if it's a nice place, I will hope to leave him there. And I think he'll soon forget.....
6:10 am
crosshair
I am sorry Ruby, but it is for the best. With his declining health and other issues, it was either that or get a live-in nurse. You cannot do it all, Ruby tuesday.
6:12 am
rubyfoo
I organized a lot of help, but the nights were still awful with him agitated, not sleeping and falling. I had to call the firemen 3 times in two weeks to lift him off the floor
6:12 am
crosshair
Now you can breathe for a bit, get yourself healthy, then you can take care of others once you are in fighting trim once again.
6:13 am
JBV
ruby, I hhope you sleep well now, take it easy and know that he is being taken care of
6:13 am
rubyfoo
And he was occasionally aggressive; it started with me but then he grabbed an aide the other night and even scared her
6:14 am
rubyfoo
I just had an actual sit-down lunch for the first time in weeks. They deliver my meals.
6:15 am
JBV
and time to babble in peace!
6:15 am
crosshair
Yes, relax, make yourself whole and do not regret your decisions regarding hubby. He will get much better care than can be offered at home in his condition.
6:16 am
rubyfoo
exactly on both counts. I feel sad for him but not guilty. This was necessary and the local government is terrific!
6:17 am
mattygroves
Are you actually located in France, Ruby?
6:18 am
crosshair
I am so happy that things are finally being organized for you. besides, i need your schedule clear if I pop down there and wish to take my exotic french girlfriend out for a night on the town :)
6:18 am
rubyfoo
yes, just outside of Annecy in a beautiful village. The house is on a hillside between the foothills of the Alps and Lake Annecy. Great views in all directions.
6:18 am
rubyfoo
(actually, the village, itself, isn't beautiful, but the locastion is)
6:18 am
crosshair
testing.. my posts are vanishing on me:)
6:19 am
mattygroves
Sounds lovely! At the risk of being cheeky, are you both French? Will the language be an issue?
6:19 am
crosshair
That is well, ruby, besides, I need your schedule clear if I should happen to pop over there and wish to take my exotic french girlfriend out for a night on the town :)
6:20 am

No, American. But we've been here for 17 years and I'm pretty much bi-lingual except for my accent.

The guestroom awaits you and Mrs. Elegant!
6:21 am

That's good! People here think I sound as American as the day I stepped off the plane (in 1988). People in the States remark on how I've picked up an accent ;)
6:27 am

My brother spent 5 years in Costa rica and at 6 foot tall he towered over 90% of the locals and even on his last day at the office was referred to as " The big white man from away"
6:29 am
rubyfoo
What surprises me is how sweet the locals are about my accent. I always thought they'd find it annoying.
6:29 am
mattygroves
What part of the States are you originally from?
6:30 am
rubyfoo
And nobody but the various "snowbirds" speaks English in the village, so it's been very hard with doctors and all
6:30 am
rubyfoo
Born in NY but lived and worked all over. Lived in Miami before getting married and retiring here
6:30 am
mattygroves
Well, I guess as you speak French fluently, that helps. Does your husband speak and understand French?
6:30 am
mattygroves
Where in NY? I'm from NY....
6:32 am
rubyfoo
From Queens.
6:32 am
mattygroves
I'm from Long Island

where in the UK do you live? I have family in London
6:33 am

hi matty - another New Yorker here - originally from Queens, too
6:33 am
mattygroves
West London - not far from Heathrow (the planes leave skid marks on the flat)
6:33 am
rubyfoo
My husband had many years of private Fr. lessons. I learned it in NY schools but didn't speak fluently until much later.
6:34 am
rubyfoo
It's too funny. And Bichon went to Queens College but she is younger
6:34 am
rubyfoo
I'm from Queens Village

small world, never so true as here in babble
6:35 am

It's funny to meet people from close to "home" in this international game.
6:35 am
JBV
ruby I had a nice experience recently - my old French which has been dormant for many years was recently resuscitated and I was so surprised - the little grey cells were still in there and I was able to converse without any problem
6:35 am
rubyfoo
Right now, I'm procrastinating as I have to go to the home this afternoon to arrange the paperwork. It will be sad and awful.
6:36 am
JBV
how will you get there? do you drive yourself?
6:36 am
rubyfoo
That's amazing, JBV, like bike-riding, non?
6:36 am
JBV
yes, like bike-riding, exactly!
6:36 am
rubyfoo
No, the morphine I'm taking rules out driving, so a friend is taking me
6:37 am
JBV
blessings on your friend
6:38 am
JBV
you know I take courses at the university in the Italian department - they recently had a visiting professor come for a month from the Sorbonne - Paris Sorbonne IV - she was great - she's Italian but works in Paris, perfectly quadrilingual in Italian/English/French/Sardinian
6:39 am
mattygroves
It's embarrassing. I speak very rusty German but so many English speakers speak only English. Go to many places in Europe and the number of folk who are not only bi lingual but multi lingual puts us to shame
6:40 am
rubyfoo
not here!
6:40 am
JBV
sad but true, matty - and worse - they speak only English and a re proud of it!
6:41 am
rubyfoo
I think many people know a second language but are reluctant to speak it and make mistakes
6:41 am
JBV
well after playing babble for a few years, we've learned a few words in Estonian, Urdu, Welsh, and who knows what else
6:43 am
rubyfoo
I have to go now to confront my sad afternoon.

Bye everybody, au revoir, ciao, etc.

Cos, I don't think there is any "good" or "bad" about what time of the month you close. I'm just glad you got a place that you like.
6:31 pm
72 Temple Owl
it is a matter of how soon you have to come up with the first mortgage payment. for those who use up most of their cash with last month's rent and closing costs, it can be tight. all congrats to you!
6:34 pm
Mary
Congrats, cos. I have a house for sale, ready to move in, everything done, since Aug.3rd, and not one offer. It's driving me crazy as I'm building a small casita on my son's property in Santa Fe. I am super stressed out, in fact I'm having a gimlet right now.
6:35 pm
72 Temple Owl
mary, hope you get some action on it soon. that sounds very stressful indeed.
6:36 pm
Mary
All the realtors want to do is lower the price, might as well give it away - just kidding.
6:38 pm
72 Temple Owl
we went through that with our estate property. the buyers came but went through the whole process then could not qualify.
6:38 pm
72 Temple Owl
even though pre qualified,
6:39 pm
Mary
Ugh, ty TO, guess I will just have to wait it out. I refuse to give it up for nothing.
6:40 pm
Mary
In fact, the realtor was just here this week and got a little agitated with me cause I refused to go down on the price.

So all being well, when do you get to move in?

7:20 pm

*Packs a box of hot chocolate and popcorn for Cos to enjoy by the fireplace*...oh, and some peanut butter Kandy Kakes too...
7:21 pm

ive made it clear that the tv will NOT go on the mantle
7:21 pm
Lizlin
Or some new bed sheets ;)
7:21 pm
Lizlin
I agree with you about the TV
7:21 pm
MollyL
Oh good for you Cos. I think that is the tackiest look EVER
7:21 pm
Lizlin
Is the new house close to your work?
7:22 pm
cosdem
and if i wanted to watch a movie with my neck in an abnormal position id go to the theater
7:24 pm
Lizlin
te 6/21 and 7/32 pls?
7:24 pm
MollyL
I seriously don't get the TV over the mantle thing. Not only does it ruin the entire look of a fireplace and a mantle, but like you said, who wants to sit with their neck craning UP looking at the TV?
7:24 pm
Lizlin
Agree with that too
7:25 pm
cosdem
exactly. plus where would i put the christmas knick knacks in november? lol
7:25 pm
cosdem
Oh I have grand plans!
7:25 pm

It's really exciting making a new house into your own home.

only thing i dont like is the master bedroom 's door is in the living room but ill manage lol
7:27 pm
Lizlin
Moving from London to Aus made such a difference to what we could afford.
7:28 pm
ChampFit
Molly...men are all about where to put the TV. And better yet...how big can it be? *realtor life*
7:28 pm
Lizlin
I think you'll cope with that if it's the only downside :)
7:28 pm
cosdem
nice full sized bathroom in the master bed too so cant really complain. and a big walk in closet
7:29 pm
Lizlin
Sounds really ideal - and I saw that you had a fenced area for the dogs to be safe in :)
7:29 pm
MollyL
Oh, please tell me that your "roomie" is not moving with you Cos.
7:30 pm
cosdem
the other one is but i have rules and he is signing a contract
7:30 pm
MollyL
You have more than one roomie?
7:31 pm
cosdem
yeah.. but one just took off and disappeared last week.. so good riddance I guess
7:31 pm
cosdem
but at the old place he was the only one on the lease.. this time im on the deed. not him.
7:37 pm
MollyL
Okay, I'll get caught up on this in email.
7:37 pm
Lizlin
Sorry to ask again but help pls - te 6/21 and 7/32 pls?
7:41 pm
MollyL
See...no one needs to clue...just wait a minute or two
7:42 pm
Lizlin
Or resort to more words :(
7:44 pm
MollyL
That is what I don't get. Why ask for a clue and then go to morewords and find it on your own? This has always confused me.
7:44 pm
Lizlin
I guess because I've got 15 left to finish and I've got quite a busy day and so want to get finished.
7:45 pm

4 minutes went by

But that might not be true of other people. I use more words when I have gone as far as I can with other methods. That's also true, gemini, so I assumed no one was here to clue.
7:46 pm
