8:42 am

zoozzoom

LL 5/10

8:43 am

mattygroves

Aah - yeah - I talked about it more later. The call to me was legitimate, but it wasn't about my account, but rather about my ex husband's. They some how lost sight of the fact that we separated our finances years ago and that the EX should be a clue, really

8:43 am

mattygroves

We've both raised formal complaints but we're waiting to hear

8:43 am

zoozzoom

Oh thank goodness for that. So you still have his new debit card then LOL

8:45 am

zoozzoom

Oh duh I now have the 10, Matty if you need stats.

8:46 am

mattygroves

Fortunately, my ex and I are speaking and on pretty good terms, so he came and collected it.

8:47 am

mattygroves

Stats would be great (the only LL words I can think of are either welsh or llamas)

8:47 am

zoozzoom

That is good when it ends like that, no silly squabbling.

8:48 am

zoozzoom

LL + vowel +

8:48 am

mattygroves

Monkeyed the LL

8:48 am

zoozzoom

LL + vowel + consonat + vowel.

8:48 am

mattygroves

No, it was an amicable split. Which is not what's going to happen with Barclay's if I get my way

8:48 am

zoozzoom

Ti 10/70

8:48 am

zoozzoom

it is plural of the Ti 8/40

8:49 am

mattygroves

So the LL isn't llanfairpwll- gwyngyllgogerychwy- rndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

8:49 am

zoozzoom

LOL You tell them Matty!

8:49 am

zoozzoom

Very close!!! LOL

7:31 pm

dianedecoder

I had decided to give Babble a "rest" for the month of December as times start to get busy. This is my last game for a while and what a send-off! BIG grid!

7:32 pm

welki

hehe - until you decide to take a peek and get sucked in again :)

are you down south now?

7:34 pm

dianedecoder

I'll play again in January, which is when we will be "south"....flying this time :-) And yes, I'll get sucked in again.....I love the game but my personality is the type that once I start a game, I'm compelled to finish it!!

7:35 pm

welki

i used to be like that, but i just don't have the time to finish (or even play) every day

7:36 pm

dianedecoder

I'm trying to change ;-) We will see!

7:37 pm

welki

will you be down my way before you leave? it's about time we had coffee

7:40 pm

dianedecoder

Probably not, .....son and wife are in AZ. right now, will be here for Christmas then we leave. It's more than "time" we met for a visit and coffee. I have been so close to you many times over the past few years.....a crying shame, as my Mom used to say!! We will one day, I know! .....even if I dropped in on you at the lake one summer day!!

7:41 pm

welki

that would be great if you visited us at the lake - golf!

7:42 pm

dianedecoder

I only golfed once this past summer.....pain is my enemy :-( Our daughter and son in law leased a lot at Silver Creek ( near Camrose ) , but no fishing there, just camping and golf.

8:17 pm

hurshy

dictionary.com places the origin of gonorrhea into English at 1540 - 1550, and King Lear was first performed in 1606. i suppose it might have only been doctors who knew and used the term at first.

The other is a plural of a letter of the alphabet.
