I finished my paper! I dragged my tired ass through the POURING rain to get here to class...and left my binder, containing the paper, and all my notes for class tonight, on my damn desk at work. There is NO ONE in the school this late to let me in, and I don't have a key. Kill me now.

Nef
Good Evening, Everyone. I'm not sure why I even start these larger grids at 10 PM; I've been working on this for an hour & "just" have 197 left! :-)
11:07 pm
flosey
hi Nef and all
11:07 pm
flosey
55 more minutes Nef, you can do it
11:09 pm
Nef
Thanks for the words of encouragement, flossy; but I don't think --heck! I "KNOW" I won't finish!
11:10 pm
Nef
(sorry, flosey, Not Flossy)
11:11 pm
flosey
np Nef, have been called that too
11:11 pm
flosey
actually that's the name I asked for here but was already used
11:11 pm
Nef
Really? I've never seen a Flossy (that I remember, anyway)
11:12 pm
flosey
have been playing for almost 10 years and have yet to meet her
11:13 pm
Nef
Yeah, I was just checking; went & looked at your profile & I've been here 11 years & have never seen one either.
11:14 pm
Nef
(& your profile says you've been here since June 21, 2006, so it has been 10 years too!) ;-)
11:14 pm
flosey
ah, thought it was 07 that I started!!
11:14 pm
flosey
it was Jillibus who got me started
11:15 pm
Nef
That's right; you're one of her Bridge playing buddies, right?
11:16 pm
Nef
She's just been here about a month longer than you I see!
11:16 pm
flosey
really!! I thought she'd been at it much longer - just assumed I guess
11:17 pm
Nef
Does she still play Babble? I see her on FaceBook, but rarely here (then again, I'm not on as often as I used to be either)
11:18 pm
flosey
no, haven't seen her playing for quite a while - she was busy for a while writing a book - must ask if it was published, possibly
11:18 pm
Nef
Her profile says she's been here since May 28, 2006. (then again, maybe she played a while before she joined up officially)
11:18 pm
Nef
What's the book about?
11:19 pm
flosey
Great Danes
11:19 pm
Nef
A new one? I know she had some from a long time ago...
11:19 pm
flosey
she no longer has one
11:20 pm
flosey
ah, perhaps I'm wrong there then, I knew that one was published, must ask her
11:21 pm
Nef
I know she no longer has a Great Dane dog, but I think I read on FB that she had published a book about them years ago(although now I'm wondering if I'm confused?)
11:22 pm
flosey
I see her at Monday bridge but otherwise not as much lately - different interests I guess
11:22 pm
Nef
Maybe she put out a newer edition?
11:23 pm
Nef
So what are you up to these days (besides Babble & Bridge)?
11:23 pm
flosey
haven't seen her playing here for quite some time now
11:23 pm
flosey
lol, that's about my life!!
11:24 pm
flosey
I play 2 sometimes 3 times/week
11:25 pm
Nef
LOL! I'm "retired" now; but my hubby seems to think that I'm now his 24/7 nurse; he's had a bunch health problems this year.
11:25 pm
flosey
plus walking - have to make myself get out to walk
11:25 pm
Nef
I think I always see you on about thistle of night too?
11:26 pm
flosey
I've been retired for over 20 years - when we moved out here (BC) from Ontario
11:26 pm
flosey
yes almost every night at flip
11:26 pm
Nef
(that was "this time of night" not sure where the thistle came from)
11:27 pm
flosey
wondered!
11:27 pm
flosey
figured it should have been this hour
11:28 pm
flosey
half hour to go yet, think I'll play a few hands of bridge online
11:28 pm
flosey
see you later
11:29 pm
Nef
:-) I'm using an older keyboard & this one skips sometimes & with spellcheck on, weird things show up where they shouldn't be. (Hubby's keyboard broke, so he was using mine
