Kamanjah

Hi, just popping into the chog to say a belated Merry Christmas to everyone here. I love your clues, I chat on occasion...but I feel like I sort of know you because I see so many of these names every day. Grannyrose and Peri are the only folks I think I've ever chatted with in the past, and I also realize no one has posted on here for 20 minutes...
but, happy after Christmas dinner babbling to all!

3:55 am

TheByzantine

Hope you are well and smiling, Kamanjah

3:57 am

Kamanjah

Thank you! So, how do we shorten your name? Lol, The B or...Byz

3:57 am

Kamanjah

I'm fine with Kam

3:57 am

TheByzantine

Whatever way you want

3:58 am

Kamanjah

Cool Byz, don't know that I've seen you here - I know all of the clue giving folks names - it helps me out! I love playing this puzzle tho

4:00 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Kamanjah, a belated Merry Christmas to you too :-)

4:01 am

5:03 am

grannyrose

well hello there my sweet friend. {{hugs}}

5:04 am

sprite

Rose! *hugs* I have missed you. How were your family days?

5:05 am

grannyrose

missed you too my darling. i have been so busy but it has been worth it. i haven't stopped since last thursday. just one more day and then onto the bed i go for a whole day. *sigh*

5:06 am

sprite

*big hug* I know. we always have to pay a price. But as long as it has been worth it, it is ok, isn't it?

5:07 am

grannyrose

*grins happily* deacon loved his cricket bat and wickets, claudia adored her musical jewel box with the dancing ballerina, and braxton yelled TEDDY and enveloped it in the biggest hug.

5:07 am

sprite

awwww too cute!

5:08 am

grannyrose

i eaten waaaay too much food, all delicious. today was amazing. we laughed and laughed all day. such a special time with my siblings their wives and kids.

5:09 am

mattygroves

Morning all! I am feeling very lazy today

5:09 am

sprite

morning matty! *hug* Lazy is good.

5:09 am

sprite

am so glad you had such a good time with your family, rose

5:09 am

grannyrose

g'day matty. hope your holiday season has been wonderful for you.

5:10 am

mattygroves

Mostly, yes. We had Christmas late dinner with Sarah (my daughter) and Hannah (Jeff's daughter) after both girls had Christmas lunch with their other parent

5:10 am

grannyrose

don simply cannot understand how such a large group of siblings can have so much fun together.

5:11 am

mattygroves

I was VERY cross though - Sarah arrived back here in tears as her dad pretty much ignored her during Christmas lunch - gave her a voucher for Xmas for a shop she doesn't use (honestly, a gift voucher from your dad?!), thus making her feel that she doesn't ever want to spend Christmas in London (she'd rather spend it in Philly with my brother)

5:11 am

grannyrose

lovely matty. sprite have you and your beloved had some quality time together?

5:12 am

sprite

omg poor Sarah. What a rotten trick from dad.

5:12 am

grannyrose

matty lovely about your dinner with the girls. not good about the father.

5:12 am

sprite

yeah we did, rose, very quiet and relaxed.

5:12 am

mattygroves

But she loved the Pandora bracelet I got her (and other stuff too) and we had a really nice time once Sarah cheered up, and Sarah and Hannah got on really well together

5:13 am

sprite

it is something my father could have done. I know how it feels. Please tell her he is not worthy of her company, from me.

5:13 am

mattygroves

Thing is, I'd always given her dad credit for being a good father. I withdraw that line of credit now

5:14 am

sprite

I am willing to give him credit for being a real asshole though

5:14 am

grannyrose

it's so sad when parents get it sooo wrong with their kids. i try to buy gifts for don's kids, but we found out that his daughter just chucks everything out, sometimes with the tag still on it.

5:14 am

mattygroves

Hah! Yes. Apparently he only had eyes (and presents) for his new girlfriend

5:15 am

mattygroves

It broke my heart to see her so sad

5:15 am

mattygroves

Though I was hurt when she said this would be the last Christmas with us as she'll never spend it here again - I know she was hurting but I found that stabbed me

5:15 am

sprite

we have this deep longing inside ourselves to matter to our parents. Usually that is ok, because they do. But when they don't, it is a life-long hurt.

5:16 am

grannyrose

i know, matty, you just wish you could stop the hurt everytime don't you.

5:16 am

sprite

aw matty, sweetie *hugs* She wasn't thinking of you when she said it, but of her father. Apparently she feels so safe with you, she blabs out her pain without filteer.

5:16 am

sprite

5:17 am

Lizlin

Hi all

5:17 am

sprite

hiya Liz :) *hugs*

5:18 am

grannyrose

do you know don has not heard from any of his three this christmas? it just breaks my heart, watching him check his emails and his phone for text messages.

5:18 am

Lizlin

Hugs, Sprite - lovely surprise to find you here - you too, Rose, hugs.

5:18 am

grannyrose

hi and hugs lizgirl

5:18 am

sprite

so sad, rose. If only we could spare our loved ones that kind of pain, right?

5:19 am

grannyrose

Lizlin

Of course, it's an hour later for you, Rose.

5:20 am

mattygroves

5:20 am

Lizlin

5:20 am

grannyrose

5:21 am

mattygroves

OK, I have that one then ;)

5:21 am

sprite

5:21 am

grannyrose

5:21 am

Lizlin

No 2 - I've just found a 2nd

5:21 am

Lizlin

5:21 am

mattygroves

Ah - I have the gn6 - I shall look for the four

5:22 am

Lizlin

Strangely, it's the 4 I just found. Irritating little word!

5:22 am

sprite

love and hugs to you all. Hope to see you longer soon!

5:22 am

Lizlin

Have a lovely day, Sprite. Hugs

5:22 am

grannyrose

5:23 am

mattygroves

5:27 am

sukee

Good morning, happy Boxing Day

5:28 am

Lizlin

Hi sukee

5:28 am

mattygroves

Morning!

5:28 am

grannyrose

see you all after the next flip. xoxox time for sleep

5:28 am

sukee

Hi and bye granny

5:28 am

Lizlin

Sleep well, Rose and hugs to you both.

5:30 am

LadyNatts

Boxing Day...strange holiday, but welcomed (although I have to work today)

5:31 am

Lizlin

So, the important question, to Sukee and Matty - but anyone else interested. What did you think of the Doctor Who Special. I just watched it.

5:32 am

mattygroves

I must watch it again as I was distracted last night, but it wasn't as bad as I'd feared. Some funny moments and a couple of touching ones, but very lightweight, mostly

5:32 am

sukee

I did, it made me tear up. I loved seeing River.

5:33 am

Lizlin

The Christmas special is often lightweight. I liked the ties it made to other episodes. I like River too - but she could still reappear.

5:33 am

sukee

I would like to have seen more of them together, I hope this is not the last.

5:34 am

TheByzantine

Dr Who should change her name to Dr Why

5:35 am

Lizlin

Hi TheByz - long time no see, if you're who I think. Hope you are well.

5:35 am

Lizlin

I liked the rapport between Peter Capaldi and Alex Kingston.

5:36 am

sukee

Yes, me too. That is why I want to see them together again.

5:37 am

mattygroves

I think I shall rewatch later today when I can devote my full attention to it

5:37 am

sukee

So, no more until next August or so...sigh.

5:37 am

Lizlin

The episodes are often better with a 2nd watching.

5:38 am

Lizlin

We'll wait patiently.

5:38 am

lbdawger

gm, everyone! yes, Dr Who was fun to watch last night. you really didn't have to listen hard to understand the doctor. his mutterings were overshadowed by River.

5:38 am

mattygroves

We have Sherlock to look forward to on New Year's Day

5:38 am

Lizlin

Hi lbd

5:39 am

sukee

Yes, I want to see that matty.

5:39 am

Lizlin

I loved his joke about the inside of the Tardis being bigger.

5:39 am

sukee

Yes Liz, that was hilarious.

5:39 am

lbdawger

hi Liz, sukee and matty!

5:39 am

sukee

He was also surprised that the Tardis has a bar too it looked like.

5:39 am

mattygroves

Helllooooo!

5:40 am

sukee

Hi lbd.

5:40 am

Lizlin

an 7 - the 2nd one pls?

5:41 am

lbdawger

5:41 am

mattygroves

If it's the one I think, it's being completely against wrinkles, Liz

5:41 am

Lizlin

5:41 am

mattygroves

Face wrinkles - what a facelift provides....

5:41 am

Lizlin

Thanks, Matty

5:41 am

lbdawger

5:42 am

mattygroves

I have 42 left, I shall have to list, methinks

5:42 am

Lizlin

I'm down to 27 now - about ready to list too.

5:43 am

sukee

TY, got both an 7/36

5:43 am

Lizlin

Sorry lbd - wrong stats. I think it's is 8/65

5:46 am

sukee

interesting what you can add the gerund to.

5:46 am

Lizlin

Some weird ones - esp the ir 7

5:47 am

sukee

is it similar to the ir 7/36?

5:47 am

Lizlin

Which? The is 8 - definitely not.

5:47 am

sukee

That is what I meant, ok.

5:52 am

5:59 am

lbdawger

Hubz bought me a 27 inch screen. I wanted an 18, but this one will do! :)

6:03 am

sukee

Nice, I hooked up my HDMI cable to my TV for a bit yesterday.

6:04 am

lbdawger

this one has an hdmi cable attached. not sure what it does tho. (i'm really in the dark ages with this new technology)

6:05 am

sukee

Well, if you have a smart TV you can hook it up and use the TV as a screen.

6:06 am

sukee

I find it good for watching my iTunes movies and TV networks online.

6:08 am

lbdawger

I think I must look into this. perhaps this will help us cut out cable.

6:08 am

sukee

That is what I was thinking.

6:10 am

sukee

Although, some online networks don't let you watch unless you log in with your cable network.

6:11 am

sukee

Okay, more than halfway, going to the list.

6:12 am

lbdawger

retirement is on the horizon, and needing to cut out some things like $100. cable bill would be good.

6:12 am

sukee

I hear you.

6:12 am

lbdawger

I'd also like to cut the land line but need that for internet access.

6:14 am

lbdawger

There are always fresh starts. And outing is unnecessary. I'm often appalled by the self-righteousness here these days, so I stay away from chog. Maybe in 2016, we can all find a way to be kind here. Or even just civil.

I was looking at the peacock you made me all those years ago (it was in a small box so saved from the fire). How are you?

12:35 pm

Atalante

awwwww :) I'm fine! Having Christmas Day today instead of yesterday and looking forward to CHristmas dinner :D

12:35 pm

Atalante

how are you????

12:37 pm

stidmama

We are all well, thanks. Had a lovely day yesterday and today just resting. Teaching third grade is lots of fun, but a lot of work, so I am forcing myself to do almost anything but school things this vacation.

12:37 pm

Atalante

me too, but with work instead of teaching

12:38 pm

stidmama

:-) work is good -- doing a lot of diving, or is it too cold this time of year?

12:38 pm

Atalante

still diving, maybe one weekend a month. I did want top spend this morning playing in the rockpools but there was horizontal rain :(

12:39 pm

stidmama

one of my colleagues at the school just took up scuba a few years ago. love it

12:39 pm

stidmama

ick. I don't mind rain, but freezing rain when it's pinpricks, or coming sideways isn't so much fun

12:39 pm

Atalante

best thing ever :) One day I want to dive round Vancouver

12:40 pm

rururocks

cold diving there

12:40 pm

stidmama

well, if you do I will come and sit on shore while you dive! We have some interesting critters in the Salish Sea

12:40 pm

12:40 pm

12:41 pm

Atalante

i DIDN'T REALISE UNTIL RECENTLY THAT WE ARE AT THE SAME (oops) latitude as Juneau

12:41 pm

rururocks

that's me stid.. mr. ironic

12:41 pm

stidmama

LOL yes, you're a bit NORTH of us!

12:41 pm

Atalante

but we have the gulf stream to warmus up

12:42 pm

stidmama

my eyeballs are being weird, ruru -- first read you are mr ironing... (might be the closet-full of ironing I have waiting for me later today)

12:42 pm

stidmama

does the gulf stream do much for you? or are you on the west coast? I always picture the east coast of Scotland to be rather frigid in temps.

12:42 pm

rururocks

I use a dry cleaner.. I don't do well with Ironing

12:42 pm

rururocks

In fact I don't own an iron

12:43 pm

Atalante

the east coast is a bit colder than the west, but we do still feel the gulf stream. temps are about 9-12C at the moment

12:43 pm

Atalante

in the water. Whcih I bet they aren't in Juneau!

12:43 pm

stidmama

ah, smart man! LOL most of my clothes don't need ironing if they are pulled straight from the dryer, but I have a few items. Vanity...

12:44 pm

stidmama

that's not so bad if you have a dry suit, I guess. I haven't been able to stand the cold waters since my family left the East Coast, so I don't swim any more. When I was very little, though, I swam in the waters here all the time.

12:44 pm

Atalante

its fine in a dry suit. we just about manage 60 minute dives

12:44 pm

TY, Bea.

4:02 pm

I think fatback and streak o' lean are more of a country folk thing.

4:03 pm

Scrabbler

I find dialects and accents fascinating, especially as I learn Italian and listen to the instructor talk about Bolognese dialect.

4:05 pm

carleekat

I find the same scrabs... working with six nations.. some words cross over between Nations and others..completely diff... and yet all iroquois...

4:05 pm

In order for children to get care here the mothers must be Senecas, but some of the fathers are Mohawks, Cayugas, and Oneidas. I enjoy working there and seeing the kids.
