5:10 am
sukee
Good morning all.
5:11 am
lbdawger
good morning, sukee and everyone.
5:13 am
sukee
Get the feeling this is a difficult grid.
5:15 am
lbdawger
it's not been overly friendly to me so far. 15 minutes to get 22 words
5:22 am
sukee
I think I may have to list soon, only 27 so far
5:23 am
lbdawger
i'm going to try for at least nbt, but it will be an early list day.
5:24 am
sukee
Lots of phantom words I see :)
5:29 am
lbdawger
those bottom i's are alluding me, time to list.
5:30 am
sukee
I got one of those
5:30 am
sukee
refers to a film that is not distributed by a major studio.
5:30 am
lbdawger
just found that one, thanks
5:31 am
sukee
But that is the only i I have :)
5:31 am
lbdawger
do you have the top i? thing on a list
5:31 am
mattygroves
Does anyone have the em5/14? Am I being blind?
5:32 am
sukee
No, but I just found the en 6/27
5:32 am
lbdawger
don't have it matty
5:33 am
mattygroves
I've got the en's, thanks!
5:35 am
sukee
Do you watch Doctor Who matty? I can't remember if you were in on the discussion yesterday.
5:36 am
mattygroves
I was, and I did. I was disappointed
5:36 am
sukee
Really? It certainly was unique, I still haven't digested it.
5:36 am
bichon
Hi folksies
5:37 am
bichon
may I have a hint for the en 6/27, pls
5:37 am
sukee
Some of it makes sense when you think of Clara "the impossible girl"
5:37 am
sukee
Hi bich, it is the act of being hostile.
5:37 am
mattygroves
Actually, I thought it was a little derivative. And it had so many 'nods' to oldwho - the thing is, they get a bit over done. And making Clara so damned important was just a little much for me - yet another reset button - no-one ever stays dead with Moffett!
5:37 am
mattygroves
But hey, that's just me :) I'm glad you liked it
5:38 am
sukee
Yes, I was wondering if she was really dead.
5:39 am
sukee
Hope it helped.
5:39 am
sukee
I am also curious as to who is going to be the next companion. Hopefully not the Viking girl :)
5:40 am
mattygroves
Anyone yet found the em5/14 (I am sure I shall kick myself)
5:40 am
lbdawger
so now there are two tardis' tardii, flying boxes out there.
5:40 am
sukee
And I was excited to see who is back in the Christmas special.
5:40 am
mattygroves
According to Moffett, it won't be anyone we 'know' - but who knows - he fibs sometimes
5:41 am
sukee
Took me too long to figure out it was not Clara who had lost her memory. :)
5:41 am
sukee
I still can't find th eEM
5:42 am
mattygroves
I have two left - that EM and the te6/21...
5:42 am
Cosmo Kramer

5:55 am
Anniebrook
Sprite, What does that men?
5:56 am
Anniebrook
Or mean?
5:57 am
mattygroves
Probably not - I'm *hoping* we can have a real tree this year, as Jeff's fake one is looking a bit...tired (and I like real trees) but we only have a small flat and small real trees often look quite naff (as they tend to be bushy at the bottom and naked at the top
5:57 am
sprite
it means a happy celebration of lights
5:57 am
Anniebrook
naff? I will tuck that word away. I already like it.
5:58 am

6:16 am

first time I used this site, wondered if it worked
6:16 am
Lizlin
Really lovely - thanks. It worked really well.
6:16 am
Lizlin
I've used the site before.
6:16 am
MollyL
Mmm, latkes and sour cream. Annie, you inspired me. I just added latkes to the breakfast menu.
6:17 am
Lizlin
Never had latkes with sour cream. Interesting idea.
6:17 am
sprite
am glad :)
6:17 am
Anniebrook
*just sat down at Molly's table*
6:17 am
MollyL
I miss all the free e cards that used to be on Hallmark and American greetings.
6:18 am
lbdawger
haven't had latkes in ages.
6:18 am
Lizlin
I haven't had them since last year :)
6:18 am
Anniebrook
Molly, That is a beautiful Menorah/
6:18 am
Lizlin
Will probably have them sometime during the week.
6:18 am
MollyL
A dollop of sour cream and a few chopped green onions is a nice presentation for latkes.
6:19 am
Lizlin
Definitely sounds good.
6:19 am
Anniebrook
Molly has some Jewish blood in her veins.
6:19 am
MollyL
Annie, I would love to have an old fashioned silver Menorah like that
6:19 am
Lizlin
Followed by doughnuts. Got to love a celebration that focusses on oily food :)
6:20 am
sprite
my grandparents had several. Of course, they are all gone now, my father not willing to give any of them to me or my sister.
6:20 am
Anniebrook
Molly, Come down th Hester Street on the Lower East Side. There are stores that have them. Just gorgeous.
6:20 am
Lizlin
I wish I could get that sort of thing here - perhaps in Melbourne but not here.
6:21 am
sprite
internet might be a possibility, Liz
6:22 am
Lizlin
It only took me 7 years to work out that the best way to store Chanukah candles is in the fridge! They burnt really well this year.
6:22 am
sprite
oh, smart thinking
6:22 am
Lizlin
Yes, Sprite. i do use the internet when I want to buy anything like that. There are a number of stores here that sell over the internet.
6:23 am
Lizlin
But still, it's much better actually seeing what you want to buy.
6:23 am
sprite
yeah and more fun
6:24 am
Lizlin
I guess it was so easy in London - like I was saying about traditional jewish deli food.
6:25 am

6:25 am
Lizlin
I think I'll stick with paradise :)
6:25 am
sprite
I keep seeing melon and squid. Not a great combination, I think
6:25 am
Lizlin
Perhaps lemon and squid would be better?
6:26 am
sprite
that might work
6:28 am
Lizlin
fo 6/30 pls?
6:28 am
sprite
enemy guys, Liz
6:29 am
Lizlin
Have that one - didn't realise there were 2 of them. The 2nd one pls?
6:30 am
Lizlin
I'd tried that ending with just about every other combination!
6:30 am
sprite
lol I know the feeling
6:31 am
Lizlin
That's taken it down to 10. I'll leave it there for tonight - got some Facebook stuff I need to do before I head to bed. Have a good day everyone and again, Happy Chanukah to those who celebrate.
6:31 am

I think the stylist called it "toasted blonde" or some such. It's just less bleachy that it was. Some brownish low lights.

Scrabbler
....heart attack...
4:52 pm
72 Temple Owl
ty that was what i was afraid of. but hours later saying feeling better.
4:52 pm
dcseain
you are right, TO, they really should hit up an Emergency Department just to be safe.
4:53 pm
72 Temple Owl
dehydration was a real possibility.
4:57 pm
Scrabbler
How old is the person?
4:57 pm
72 Temple Owl
nearly 70
4:59 pm
Scrabbler
An evaluation in the ER is definitely needed.
5:00 pm
72 Temple Owl
said feeling better now. i was frightened because my dad had belly pain before his heart attack.
5:01 pm
Scrabbler
Indigestion, vague symptoms...what was this person doing when the symptoms hit? Any exertion?
5:02 pm
72 Temple Owl
no. but again, could very well have been dehydrated.
5:03 pm
Scrabbler
But what would have caused the dehydration?
5:04 pm
72 Temple Owl
alcohol
5:04 pm
72 Temple Owl
and,in typical old person fashion, not enough liquids
5:06 pm

Well, they are responsible for their own health.

5:08 pm

If there is free alcohol people lose control and the bad behavior ensues. It is awful to witness.
5:09 pm
Scrabbler
Ethanol is a legal drug that causes much suffering, pain, and death.
5:11 pm
72 Temple Owl
it is for some, not for all, that's the rub
5:17 pm

Yep TO. Not everyone abuses alcohol.

i had a close friend once who was alcoholic. it seemed so unfair to my then young self.
5:23 pm

Well, bad choices lead to bad consequences.

not a choice for them, until they realize and accept and want to change
