dutch for arsonist is in the grid: pyromaan.

2:16 am

grannyrose

cooee and hugs dear sprite

2:16 am

sprite

heeee sweetie! How did the phillipino cookfest go?

2:17 am

sprite

and *hugsssss* for you both

2:19 am

sprite

fireflies. Easiest grid ever, except for the sh6

2:19 am

grannyrose

went really well. the food was amazing. i made chicken noodle soup and chicken marinaded in coconut milk, soy sauce, rice wine, bay leaves and garlic. the soup had rice vermicelli noodles in it and tasted nothing like the soup as we know it.

2:19 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE !!!

2:20 am

grannyrose

kerry made cookies and a sticky sweet rice pudding served with fresh mangoes and cream. to die for.

2:21 am

grannyrose

yeah that sh i usually spell with a double p

2:22 am

sprite

sounds so delicious

2:22 am

grannyrose

we were all full as googs by the time we had finished.

2:24 am

sprite

*grins* I'd be too. If I remember correctly, you cannot stand spicy food, right? Nothing sharp? But you can eat spices?

2:24 am

grannyrose

how many sleeps now, sprite? i'm too tired to count.

2:25 am

grannyrose

cannot tolerate a lot of chili, or anything like that. in small amounts i am okay.

2:25 am

sprite

88 sleeps to go

2:25 am

grannyrose

whoot!!

2:26 am

sprite

oh, that is much easier than I thought it was. We don't do lots of chili or sambal or anything like that. Just enough to make the taste interesting, nothing like burning mouth or tongue.

2:27 am

sprite

when are you leaving on your trip, hun? Are you coming straight to here or do you have other countries first?:

2:27 am

grannyrose

good. chili makes me sweat like a pig. don is constantly surprised by how spicy i can tolerate but all depends on te spices.

2:28 am

grannyrose

stop-over in dubai then straight to you. i don't want to arrive so exhausted that i cannot have a good hug and tears of joy.

2:30 am

sprite

I like to cook indian food. That uses lots of spices, but it doesn't have to be sharp at all. I can even leave out the chili completely and still cook a delish dish. Like a curry. With cumin, coriander, garam masala, a hint of cinnamon. Cocos milk. Stuff like that.

2:30 am

sprite

awesome. So you will be leaving home on May 29th.

2:30 am

grannyrose

sounds so yummy. lead me to the table.

2:31 am

sprite

*grins* We will cook you guys some dutch dishes too. If you hate the taste, be sure to tell us and we will get you some chinese... please don't feel like you have to eat anything you hate.

2:32 am

grannyrose

exactly sprite.we arrive in dubai 5:30am 30/05 and leave 8:05am 31/05.

2:32 am

grannyrose

for me, not too keen on a strong aniseed taste. don eats just about anything not nailed down.

2:32 am

sprite

we'll take you to your B&B, leave you there to unpack, freshen up and maybe sleep a bit. Then we'll come pick you up again for dinner.

2:33 am

grannyrose

sounds good sweetie

2:33 am

sprite

I don't like strong aniseed taste either. Too much of that and it is all you can taste or smell, ugh.

2:34 am

sprite

what do you guys like to drink? Both with and without alcohol, please

2:36 am

grannyrose

okay, no apple juice for don, me i'll drink just about anything. we both drink a lot of low joule drinks. when you see us, you'll realise why.... loll

2:36 am

grannyrose

and i DO NOT like 'bits' in my drinks i.e. fruit pulp.

2:37 am

sprite

low joule drinks as in cola light, or more like mineral water without added sugars etc.

2:38 am

grannyrose

i have run out of mouthwash to clean m teeth. you should have heard me trying to clean my teeth with supposedly foam free toothpaste.

2:38 am

grannyrose

yes, dear

2:40 am

grannyrose

lolll, DH is talking about triple-salted licorice... i gave him THE stare.

2:40 am

sprite

roflollllll yes that is a dutch sweet. Does he want to try it? We can easily get you some.

2:41 am

sprite

oh that is nasty. Can you stand Parodontax? The original one? It is salty, and does not foam at all.

2:41 am

grannyrose

he says he has had it. not interested in trying it again. he said he is open-minded but his brain fell out.

2:42 am

sprite

lol 'yes dear' is not a practical answer to an either/or question, sweetie. Cola light etc? Or mineral water etc?

2:43 am

sprite

hehehe that is what most foreigners say. I have seen someone literally spit out the licorice. It is an acquired taste, I guess.

2:44 am

grannyrose

we both like coke zero or pepsi max. but not for me after 4pm otherwise i will be swinging from the chandeliers at 4am. good for don, devastating for me...

2:45 am

sprite

great, will make sure I have something without caffeine for you for after 4 pm.

2:45 am

grannyrose

any low-joule drink for me after 4pm. except wine..we both like sweet wines, but don't wrry. i found out last night, adding sugar to brut cuvee makes it quite drinkable... loll

2:47 am

sprite

sweet wines. Also port? Or something like Tia Maria or Southern Comfort with your coffee after dinner?

2:48 am

grannyrose

yup...that sounds just right.

2:49 am

sprite

great. writing it all down in my little booklet, lol. Planning your stay is already so much fun.

2:52 am

grannyrose

sweetie, i hope it isn't too wearing for you.

2:54 am

grannyrose

still tired from last night. fang's 70th birthday celebration last night. food was lovely, and the entertainment was fantastic. we didn't get home until after midnight and up again by 8am for church..nanna nap was much appreciated..loll

2:57 am

sprite

hehehe sounds good. Glad Fang produced a few nice experiences and memories for a change.

2:58 am

grannyrose

she has lost so much weight, down to a size 10, but does look her age.

2:58 am

sprite

btw, Rob said to prepare for a lonnnnng waiting in line for the Anne Frank house. It is always a very crowded tourist place. We will try to find out which day of the week is least crowded.

2:58 am

sprite

less fat means more wrinkles, lol.

2:59 am

grannyrose

sounds good sprite.

3:01 am

grannyrose

hmmm, what rob and you are doing about Anne Frank... fang ?? it's a pity, but it is the truth. she is very vain. even when she was crying because mother mac had died, she was fretting about the damage to the corners of her eyes.

3:03 am

sprite

she is my least favorite person from your stories. I am sorry she isn't a nicer sister to Don. He deserves so much better.

3:03 am

grannyrose

*grins* well i hope he got better when he married me.

3:04 am

grannyrose

btw, we celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary in Dover. how good is that?

3:05 am

sprite

just checked for the anne frank house. We have to order tickets online, in april. Max two months beforehand. It will be okay, hun, we will make it happen. I might wait in a cafe though, can't stand in line long or walk through the whole house. Rob will come with you.

3:05 am

sprite

he got LOTS better when he married you, though you are nothing like a sister to him, LOL!

3:06 am

grannyrose

let me know if you need recompense for ordering for us... and i mean the THREE of us.

3:07 am

sprite

the tickets are around 10 euro each. So don't worry, we can manage that :D

3:08 am

sprite

yayyyy on celebrating in Dover! That is so cool!

3:08 am

grannyrose

he doesn't know what is like to have a sister from the positive aspect like my brothers.

3:08 am

sprite

*lightbulb moment* I will be Don's sister. I am yours already. Tadahhhhh

3:09 am

grannyrose

and don says... okay~~~

3:09 am

sprite

:D

3:10 am

sprite

when are your birthdays, hun? Let me write them down.

3:12 am

grannyrose

me... 25th March. Don, 29th April. and yes i know... i'm a cradle-snatcher.. but i always said... he has to be younger than me, to keep; up with me...loll

3:12 am

sprite

am gonna add them to our calendar. I am hopeless in remembering dates, would be clueless without the calendar, lol

3:13 am

grannyrose

lolll, me three.,

3:13 am

sprite

sweetie, who cares about age difference? In a marriage, you need to be compatible. That is what counts. I am 9 years younger than Rob. It is never noticeable.

3:15 am

sprite

ok, I have to go, alas. A big *hug* for you both. SOOO looking forward to seeing you irl and spending a whole week+ with you guys. It is gonna be great. Rob is going to take off time from work that period too, so we will be available to give you guys the best possible stay.

3:17 am

grannyrose

i hope Rob is okay with his time off from work...we both appreciate his sacrifice. hope you have a wonderful day whatever you do. xoxox

3:17 am

sprite

duh, not a sacrifice at all. He is more than okay with it. We are gonna enjoy it at least as much as you will ;)

3:18 am

grannyrose

* huge grin *

3:18 am

sprite

*hugs* and lots of love. Sleep well, sweetie.

3:18 am

grannyrose

5:08 am

SamanthaJoy

Does anyone have a clue for the last sp 4/5 combo? I got nothing.

5:14 am

mattygroves

I have the four, but not the five - the four is what you do at a pool (pt)

5:15 am

mattygroves

Sorry - wrong clue! That's the sw...

5:15 am

Kallia

and another letter to that word matty

5:15 am

SamanthaJoy

You're thinking sw? Add the sometimes vowel to that for the five

5:15 am

SamanthaJoy

Y'all are way ahead of me

5:16 am

mattygroves

Yarp, got it. I have the sp4 (you might find that pool in one, where you can be pampered.) Looking for the five

5:18 am

SamanthaJoy

D'oh! That wa part of my problem, I was looikng for a combo

5:18 am

mattygroves

The five is like a tic, perhaps. What your muscles might do after loads of exercise

5:18 am

SamanthaJoy

got the. thanks

5:18 am

Alicia

Last sp5....involuntary muscle movement. Drop the last letter for the 4

5:26 am

MollyL

It is hard to figure out which abbreviations Enable accepts and which they do not. I guess I should just try any one I see and hope it's a winner. I was certain that sy4 would not be accepted.

6:26 am

rubyfoo

Hello, 25 left and nothing in sight

6:27 am

MollyL

It is an odd grid, with most of the vowels all bunched up in the corner

6:31 am

6:32 am

MollyL

sh + little sleeps you take in the afternoon

6:33 am

maggiej

tyvm

6:34 am

MollyL

It is a very odd spelling of that word

6:35 am

bichon

Is that not the correct spelling?

6:36 am

MollyL

The spelling I usually see has a c and two p's.

6:36 am

bichon

6:40 am

lil*monkey

I feel that mansh4 should be a word, although I suppose that is redundant.

6:44 am

MollyL

rururocks

1:43 pm

rururocks

1:43 pm

m9f9l

Yup. There are only two songs that I can actually listen to. That one and Live and Let Die.

1:45 pm

rururocks

I can leave live and let die.. and never hear it again..

1:46 pm

m9f9l

Most of it is horrible, but I like the instrumental James Bondy bits.

1:49 pm

MollyL

"Band On The Run"...ugh

1:50 pm

rururocks

2:23 pm

MollyL

2:25 pm

MollyL

That's it, I was never a big Beatles fan either

2:26 pm

rururocks

In my life is a beautiful song

2:27 pm

MollyL

It is, but I have heard it at eighty-gabillion weddings so I'm kind of over it

2:27 pm

rururocks

Oh

2:29 pm

MollyL

That is the down side of hanging out with musicians who often play wedding receptions.

2:33 pm

rururocks

Guessing you didn't hear "I like big butts" and "who lets the dogs out too much...ðŸ˜€

2:34 pm

MollyL

You would be amazed at what people ask to be played at their wedding receptions. What what brides and grooms dance to for their first dance.

2:35 pm

rururocks

Too bad they were flying with JD

2:41 pm

Nef

Good Afternoon! Discussing favorite songs (or the worst ever?)

2:41 pm

2:44 pm

rururocks

2:45 pm

MollyL

I often ask people what they danced to at their wedding. Best songs: "Ribbon In The Sky" - Stevie Wonder, "How Do You Keep The Music Playing" - James Ingram/Patti Austin (mine) and "Just You And I" -Crystal Gayle/Eddie Rabbit

2:45 pm

origami

2:51 pm

MollyL

Work of brick workers

2:52 pm

Nef

No, ru, and he doesn't look like a bullfrog either. It's just the first song we ever danced to. Our kids always think that that is so sweet.

2:52 pm

rururocks

Peri is going to be mortarfied when she finds it

3:00 pm

rururocks

<--- hopeless romantic

3:01 pm

Nef

I don't even know if I've heard it before? (Googling it now)

3:01 pm

MollyL

Al Green is the best. Great first dance song Ru.

3:02 pm

rururocks

Love that song

3:03 pm

origami

It is a great song

3:03 pm

Nef

Seriously, I'm listening to it now & I don't think I did ever hear it before (or if I did, I didn't pay attention to it)

3:03 pm

MollyL

Isn't it Still In Love With You?

3:04 pm

rururocks

Could be. Cant remember the exact title

3:05 pm

MollyL

Hmm, then how is Nef listening to it?

3:05 pm

rururocks

She probably figured out the right title

3:06 pm

Nef

It's "still" not "so" (the one I'm listening to)

3:07 pm

Nef

Can anyone explain why "spam" is not a word?

3:08 pm

Trifioso

3:09 pm

Nef

Hi Trifi

3:10 pm

MollyL

3:11 pm

Trifioso

3:11 pm

Nef

but the expression of junk emails as spam isn't all that new; it's been used for over 10 -15 years I think

3:11 pm

MollyL

It is some new, inspirational movie, Ru.

3:12 pm

origami

It happens here at least a couple of times a year

3:12 pm

rururocks

Oh

Min, the most "politics" we got into was the 3 guys discussing their service times during the Vietnam era.
I know that one couple have the same political views as we do; not sure about the other couple.

Heading out, too tired to stay awake. :-( *poof*

Nef

Have you had a long winter, Min? We are having such wimpy weather here that it's downright BORING!

10:25 pm

Minveryork

Goodnight stidmama! Hope to see you in chog again soon.

Besides being cold this past week, Winter has been pretty mild. I had Winter vacation a few weeks ago and it was in the 70s. We had some record breaking temperatures in NY

10:29 pm

Nef

We've had temps in the 60's during Feb & now again in March. We've had warm temps in the last part of March before (followed by horrific blizzards!); but have never had them in Feb. before

10:34 pm

Minveryork

We have temperatures in the single digits at night.I was so cold when I took my dog to the dog park today, but it will be in the 40s Monday.Hopefully we've seen last of the cold

Nef

I'm still waiting for a good old Minnesota snow storm here in the Cities. The last one missed us by over 50 miles.

10:47 pm

Minveryork

We had a big snow storm about 3 weeks ago. Gave me my first "snow day" for work. Wouldn't mind getting one more snow storm so I can get my second "snow day" of the year.

10:48 pm

Nef

You sound just like a teacher when you say that! ;-)

10:54 pm

Minveryork

I know it is selfish on my part. I know that nobody else wants anymore snow storms. If we do not use our snow days we do not get them back.If we use more than two snow days, we have to make them up. It is so not fair!

10:56 pm

Nef

*I* (for one)would like a couple of snow days too!

10:56 pm

Minveryork

Well speaking of sounding like I teacher Nef,have to go to bed so I can get up to go to work & actually BE a teacher.

10:57 pm

Nef

LOL, Min! I understand!
Good Night & sleep tight!
