1:33 am
grannyrose
i had to watch that link at least three times. the first time i was crying with joy to hear/see you sing and everything was burry. the second time all i took in was your beautiful face. the third time i really listened to your singing. xoxox
1:33 am
sprite
aw sweetie :) First time was the best then!
1:34 am
grannyrose
honey, i over did it yesterday. now there's a surprise!! NOT !! i had to use the endone this morning. the pain was actually in the front of my hip. like arthritis pain. ugh !!
1:35 am
sprite
((((rose)))) not fun to be hurting so much. But the day was worth it, I think.
1:36 am
grannyrose
* wry giggle * it was. how was your night sweetie?
1:37 am
sprite
pretty ok. Dinner at my colleagues was delicious and the company was good. He has a lovely wife with the most beautiful cheekbones I have ever seen. Told her so too, lol, made her blush
1:40 am
grannyrose
my DIL cooked us dinner last night. apricot and coriander mild chicken curry. it was so yummy !!
1:41 am

1:51 am
sprite
yeah might be, rose :) Am always open to new friendships
1:51 am
Lizlin
And yes, Sprite, I thought the ending of the Sword series was really good - loved the way so much tied back to the 1st confessor.
1:51 am
sprite
I am fine. Oh oh oh... magical barrier passed here... I am officially below the 100 kg :D
1:52 am
Lizlin
Awesome - really wonderful news :)
1:54 am
grannyrose
woohoo!! well done sprite.
1:54 am
sprite
am so glad you enjoyed it :) It isn't as magical as the earlier books, I think, but very cleverly put together
1:55 am
Lizlin
Got to go now - getting cold sitting here. Catch you both soon. Hugs.
1:56 am

2:03 am
grannyrose
i keep going around in circles trying to explain that...lolll must ask don to pull the nail out that is holding my shoe to the floor.
2:04 am

2:13 am
grannyrose
where you stuck honey?
2:14 am
sprite
smackdab in the middle? Well, a little bit over. But only one 7 and not even half of the 6s! Not asking for clues yet, but am getting there, lol.

2:17 am
sprite
3rd time I tried 'tount'
2:21 am
grannyrose
i kept wanting fount... got very frustrated
2:21 am

calling 'tumeric' a phantom would be stretching it, I guess?
2:22 am
grannyrose
*giggle* tried it too
2:29 am
sprite
exhort and exult are bugging me too
2:30 am
grannyrose
yup, no h there though. i kept mixing up the o's and u's.
2:30 am

I've just started this grid and not liking it...too many phantom words!
5:54 am

It is a nasty grid, in my opinion.
5:54 am

Do either of you have the T in the last column?
5:54 am
sukee
All I need for nbt
5:55 am
lilliann
No,not yet Sukee.
5:55 am
sukee
Ah, found one
5:55 am
lil*monkey
I have one T in that column, tu5. LIke a weather word that means sticky & hot, but start with T instead of H.
5:55 am
lilliann
i've just found a tu6
5:55 am
sukee
That is the one I found :)
5:55 am

I need the single Y word for nbt.
5:56 am

A little annoyed today. I use a mobility transport service to get to the gym 3 times a week. They let me know last week that I had to renew my registration before July 1, they ask for 2 months notice. I never heard about it and didn't even know it expired.So, I am stuck at home today and have to go to their office tomorrow to let them see I am still disabled.
6:01 am
sukee
Thankfully, there is another service I can use to get to their office. It costs a bit more.
6:02 am
sukee
I could go to the gym but it would cost me $9 each way.
6:03 am
lilliann
What a pain!How can they ask for 2 months notice and give you a few days!That's not cheap.Do you have to pay to get into the gym?
6:04 am
sukee
I have a yearly membership. And, I have used this service for 10 years and they didn't even send out a reminder.
6:04 am
sukee
I have a feeling a few seniors get caught too. They seemed to be busy with appointments this week.
6:05 am
JBsAnno
That's so frustrating, sukee! You would think they could set reminders of expirations automatically. Unless they had a computer meltdown, then all bets are off!
6:06 am
sukee
It is, and the woman I talked to was not helpful at all. Said "you'll have to find your own way here" I mentioned it to a driver and she was rolling her eyes about the whole thing :)
6:06 am
sukee
I was spitting mad last week :)
6:08 am
JBsAnno
Ooo, customer service people that are not service minded is one of my pet peeves. I've gotten to the point of "you're not helpful, I'm done with you!" It actually comes out as - "okay, thanks, you've answered my questions, I'll call back if I have any more, goodbye." Hangup, and then call back hoping for a different person.
6:10 am
sukee
Unfortunately, she is the only person you can talk to about registration :) The driver said to call the supervisor and complain.
6:10 am
sukee
I will certainly let my feelings known tomorrow.

I agree, sukee, take it up a level. I figured that might be the case, which can make it even more frustrating!

Good seeing you all, gotta go blow up some laundry! Sukee, I hope you get your transportation woes sorted out. I feel for you, our Philadelphia public transport just announced they are taking a third of the train cars out of service because of structural defects. That will make my commute harder, as well as thousands of others. Yay!
