2:15 am

grannyrose

<-----yawning loudly, only been home an hour and a quarter since we went out at 9:30am. it's now after 5pm. {{sprite}} hope you are more awake than i am. hugs and kisses. *YAWN*

2:16 am

grannyrose

oh my gosh, nearly swallowed the keyboard that time.

2:18 am

sprite

happy easter, darling. How was your wake? And how did today go?

2:21 am

grannyrose

last night was amazing. the service quite longish but full of beautiful psalms and prayer and hymns. this morning was just grand. don and i were proxy grandparents for 4 little ones. they all behaved beautifully. and the two couples got to enjoy the morning service fully.

2:21 am

sprite

wow :) So proud of you. How are you feeling?

2:21 am

grannyrose

happy easter to you too dearest.

2:22 am

sprite

thank you

2:22 am

grannyrose

lunch was, as usual full of laughs, and catching up with the nephews and niece. the the egg hunt, which was so entertaining.

2:24 am

grannyrose

right now i don't care who killed the cat. i am utterly worn out, and so is don. both yawning our heads off and it isn't even 6pm yet...loll

2:24 am

sprite

sounds like a beautiful couple of days!

2:26 am

sprite

turning in early tonight, I hope :)

2:26 am

grannyrose

i hope so. don will get the evil eye if stays up alter than me.

2:27 am

sprite

*giggles*

2:27 am

grannyrose

see ??? look how tired i am.... can't even spell...loll

2:28 am

sprite

well enough for your soul sister, hun. I can read rosese

2:33 am

sprite

wake up, sweetie. You will end up with the keyboard imprinted on your cheek.

2:34 am

grannyrose

sorry, hun, had an urgent need to attend to..i hate it when that happens.

2:34 am

sprite

nah sweetie, nps. I thought you might have fallen asleep at the puter ;)

2:35 am

grannyrose

i didn't even have time to cross myself. LOLOLL

2:35 am

sprite

lolll

2:36 am

sprite

and I know that feeling, hun. I have to run myself often enough

2:37 am

grannyrose

now that easter is over we can get back to something really serious.... IT'S ONLY 43 SLEEPS UNTIL WE TAKE OFF !! yahoo...

2:38 am

sprite

it is amazing. Am so looking forward to it. Rob has taken the days off too, checked it with his coworker and she is fine with it. So is his boss. He will be ours for the full week :)

2:39 am

grannyrose

how lovely. wouldn't it be great if he and don bonded like us?

2:40 am

sprite

it wouldn't surprise me. Rob is quick with opening his heart and letting people in. And I believe that Don is a beautiful person with a good heart and a wicked sense of humour. Should be a good combination.

2:41 am

sprite

Rob only said his english is very rusty... told him not to worry. My written english is pretty up to par, but speaking and understanding is another thing altogether and I will have to ask you to repeat things a lot too. You will forgive us both, I know :)

2:41 am

grannyrose

oh it is, it is... i live with it... and i'm still here

2:41 am

sprite

also told him, his english is miles better than your dutch!

2:42 am

grannyrose

ain't that the truth.. LOLL

2:42 am

grannyrose

hey, how's your french?

2:43 am

sprite

rusty too. As is my german, which I need on our camping holiday. But the most important thing is daring to speak, and making blunders, and hoping the locals will not mind too much.

2:43 am

rubyfoo

Happy Easter, my lively friends! We'll be speaking 3 languages, simultaneously.

2:43 am

rubyfoo

+ dog! LOL

2:44 am

sprite

ruby! *hug* Happy Easter to you too, or a blessed Passover, I don't know which one you prefer.

2:44 am

grannyrose

rofloll... helloooo ruby. bonjour ma cherie. xoxox

2:44 am

rubyfoo

If we'd get one good rain, the garden would EXPLODE with flowers

2:44 am

sprite

*sends one of them dutch rains over to ruby's*

2:45 am

grannyrose

ruby, do i have permission to use tu instead of vous? i sort of think we are close enough.

2:45 am

rubyfoo

The ground is like cement so I can't put in my border "cheats"

2:46 am

rubyfoo

Of course! Do I have permission to use "cookie" or "sweetie"?

2:46 am

sprite

lol! I certainly hope so, couldn't do it without that

2:46 am

grannyrose

anything you like so ;long as it isn't late for dinner. *giggles*

2:46 am

rubyfoo

I've been friends with Catherine for many years, but she still uses "vous" because of my (Advanced) age! LOL

2:47 am

rubyfoo

codal

2:47 am

grannyrose

<------ exploding with laughter. oh dear....

2:47 am

rubyfoo

sorry, no more chat formoi!

2:48 am

sprite

she always says that, but she does want to chat more, I just know it

2:48 am

rubyfoo

hahah

2:51 am

sprite

my spoken english wasn't too bad, was it, ruby?

2:51 am

grannyrose

says the blind man to his seeing-eye dog...

2:51 am

rubyfoo

You are a temptress! Your English is perfect! I want to hear your Dutch this time!

2:52 am

sprite

I can speak dutch all day if you want, roflollllll.

2:53 am

grannyrose

sprite, we are gonna be fine. i know i am going to be interpreter for don this holiday. anything more than the slow aussie drawl and he is lost.

2:53 am

sprite

that should be good. I can do slow. Quick is where it becomes tough :D

2:54 am

grannyrose

lolll. okay. pr...ac...ti...si...ing sl....ow.

2:54 am

sprite

that works for me

2:55 am

grannyrose

rofloll

2:56 am

grannyrose

having worked with and looked after such a diversity of nationalities i have quite a good ear with accents. just a tad worried about the glaswegian accent though.

2:57 am

rubyfoo

I have trouble with Irish-English or English mumblers. They might as well be speaking Mandarin!

2:57 am

sprite

honey, everybody has problems with that. I am sure the people there are used to it and are willing to slow down/try more common english/ etc

2:57 am

sprite

I totally love Irish accents. But cannot understand it most of the time, especially not at first.

2:58 am

grannyrose

mother mac, born and brought up in the wilds of scotland always said the people in glasgow talk funny

2:59 am

sprite

:D

3:02 am

rubyfoo

too funny, aussie is in here!

3:02 am

sprite

reminds me of my grandmother... who, when we suggested she'd move to a home for the elderly, said "What? With all those old people?" She was almost 80 at the time.

3:02 am

rubyfoo

Back in my teapot!

3:02 am

sprite

yeah almost missed them too, ruby

3:04 am

grannyrose

the weirdest accent i ever heard was from an italian friend of mine who went to scotland for training in hyperbaric chambers. he came back speaking with a mixture of italian, scottish and pakistani. i laughed until i cried.

3:04 am

sprite

also funny that Xmas is in the easter grid

3:05 am

sprite

oh that must have been so funny!

3:05 am

grannyrose

um, sprite? what have you put in your coffee? no m in the grid.

3:06 am

sprite

the french Xmas, sweetie

3:06 am

grannyrose

ahhhh, but that is another name for a christmas hymn

3:07 am

sprite

yeah, I know. I just enjoy the coincidence of easter and Xmas coinciding.

3:08 am

sprite

I know, I am funny that way :)

3:09 am

grannyrose

that is very bemusing. like the thought of what chairs would look like if our knees bent the other way. *grin*

3:09 am

sprite

oh! Yes indeed! *gets mind pictures right away*

3:09 am

rubyfoo

Did you know that the eastern European pogroms against Jews mostly started on Good Friday?

3:10 am

rubyfoo

taxi

3:10 am

grannyrose

was that probably they coincided with passover do ou think?

3:10 am

sprite

no I didn't. Another reason why the 'Good' of Good Friday is a misnomer.

3:10 am

rubyfoo

back Under cover...

3:10 am

sprite

*sends a taxi over to ruby's*

3:11 am

grannyrose

*beep, beep from under ruby's bed*

3:11 am

sprite

'Undercover Ruby" new cartoon series about a superpowered detective.

3:12 am

grannyrose

who, in partnership with two miniature ponies disguised as dogs...

3:13 am

sprite

fireflies. Last words the weird do words and, sigh, once again the on the ocean word.

3:14 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

3:14 am

sprite

...and highly successful because of her frail outside hiding a firespitting inside...

3:14 am

grannyrose

just in time. i'm about to throw in the proverbial towel.

3:15 am

grannyrose

sets out to conquer the corrupt revenue office.

3:15 am

sprite

*hugs rose goodnight*
In a little over a month, I can do that IRL! Every night. Sleep well, my darling. Give my love to Don too.

3:16 am

sprite

lol! I love this story already

3:16 am

sprite

ruby, *hugs* and have a terrific day. Cuddle the doggies from me.

3:16 am

grannyrose

ditto dear heart. hope you have a splendid day. xoxox

3:16 am

Kamanjah

Hi ladies (and lurkers :grin:)

3:16 am

sprite

*hugs Kam on her way out*

3:16 am

grannyrose

{{ruby}} xoxox

3:17 am

rubyfoo

hello kamanja

3:17 am

grannyrose

hi and bye kam. hugs and kisses girl.

3:17 am

Kamanjah

You were giving me giggles so I had to say hi!

3:17 am

rubyfoo

((big hug for Sprite and Rose))

3:17 am

rubyfoo

and Kam, too!

3:17 am

Kamanjah

G'day Rose, may you have a lovely day

3:18 am

Kamanjah

and I'll duck back out, have to get some sleep soon, just had to say hi, and bye

5:31 am

rubyfoo

Is anybody here?

5:34 am

MollyL

*Don't mind me, I'm just hiding eggs in the PB

5:36 am

rubyfoo

Happy Easter, Molly. Did ytou know that the pogroms in eastern Europe mostly started on Good Friday?

5:37 am

MollyL

Oh Ruby, what a festive thought!
: D

5:37 am

rubyfoo

I know :(

5:37 am

MollyL

Blood shed and rioting for Easter!!

5:38 am

MollyL

People pick some odd holiday times to be violent (Valentine's Day Massacre)

5:39 am

rubyfoo

Peasants in Russia and the Ukraine believed tat Jews killed Jesus. The date of the massacre is a coincidence, I think

5:40 am

MollyL

That eternal myth that the Jews killed Jesus is amusing. Rome had more to do with the death of Jesus than the Jews did.

5:43 am

rubyfoo

I think people still believe it

5:48 am

MollyL

Declaring war or initiating acts of violence in the name of religion has never made sense to me.

5:49 am

rubyfoo

I'llnever be afraid of you, only the Neighbors if they come around with pitchforks -- just kidding

6:01 am

MollyL

How does the quaint little French village celebrate Easter?

6:14 am

bichon

Happy Easter to all

6:15 am

MollyL

And Happy Passover to you, Bich.

6:15 am

bichon

thank you Molly

6:17 am

MollyL

My Jewish neighbors left here yesterday with an armload of gifts. Is Passover a gift giving occasion?

6:18 am

bichon

Not that I've ever heard of. And Passover ends tomorrow

6:18 am

MollyL

Oh well, could be someone's birthday fell in the middle of Passover or something like that.

6:20 am

bichon

Must be.

6:45 am

rubyfoo

Hello, I'm back.

6:46 am

rubyfoo

The village hurch closed for want of a priest and because of low attendance

6:47 am

rubyfoo

There are stil loccasional concerts and funerals for villagers and there were a lot of bells this morning

6:47 am

MollyL

The word of the day is definitely da6/24. It is an evergreen shrub, but sounds like something the Irish would call a drunkard.

6:48 am

rubyfoo

shrub?

6:48 am

daemonphish

ni

6:50 am

rubyfoo

Does anybody remember co6 cables? Do they stull exist?

6:53 am

daemonphish

yep...still used. Cable TV boxes mainly

7:08 am

7:19 am

Hi TNana, Happy Easter to you.

7:24 am

10:37 am

10:37 am

10:39 am

Griffums

Not to jam up the works, but the co 6/24 *does* have flowers, just not usually. It sends up a spike of very pretty ones.

10:39 am

MollyL

I've seen Christmas and Easter cactus, but not co6

11:12 am

aebmusica

It does this quite often on my computer. It says there is no word like that in the dictionary, And then later when I go to list, and type it in Licketty accepts it.

11:12 am

aebmusica

I meant Lickety

11:12 am

MollyL

Oh no!! Ru said a word!! Off to the PB with you. There are Easter treats in there, but I'm sure you would rather have carrots and celery.

11:12 am

MollyL

Well then, something is wrong with your computer aeb.

11:13 am

aebmusica

I don't know....it seems to work correctly for everything else.

11:34 am

rururocks

11:34 am

Aloyisius

and cabana boys

11:37 am

rururocks

cabana vixens

11:37 am

Aloyisius

of course

11:38 am

MollyL

Um, why would Ru want cabana boys?

11:38 am

Aloyisius

ergo the vixens

11:43 am

rururocks

I guess molly if I give up on women?

11:45 am

Deeha

over here, presumably people were fussy about eating 'dog fish' so it is called rock salmon or huss but that isn't recognised

11:46 am

Deeha

my favourite fish with chips!

11:46 am

Aloyisius

and it is fried or grilled?

11:47 am

rururocks

dog fish doesn't sound that appetizing to me

11:47 am

rururocks

I wonder if dog fish fight with catfish

11:48 am

Deeha

perhaps they use a sword fish

11:48 am

Aloyisius

g1 Deeha

11:49 am

rururocks

they might for the halibut

11:50 am

Aloyisius

score a grinning groan, ru

11:50 am

rururocks

:D

11:51 am

rururocks

I imagine dog fish would be a little hard to woof down

11:52 am

Deeha

that didn't oc-cur o me

11:52 am

rururocks

lol

11:53 am

Aloyisius

wouldn't want to bark it up

11:53 am

12:08 pm

Aloyisius

hi nan

12:13 pm

rururocks

(sounds like Nan isn't into organic farming)

12:16 pm

cybernan

dormant spray, ru -- basically a lime sulphur oil mix to prevent the leaf borers from hatching -- timing is crucial - after the buds form and just before they burst

12:16 pm

rururocks

oh

12:17 pm

dan2bit

ty Aloy - nbt

12:17 pm

Aloyisius

fw, tu6 was a tuffie.. we do the same, nan.. leaf borers are pests

12:17 pm

lexophile

Ru, just wanted to let you know that you have created a Serpentine monster! You and Zooz were talking about other online word games a month or so ago, and I had never heard of Serpentine. Sadly, I am now an addict! I poke around on Babble, then zoom over to Serpentine. I have only played 200 or so games, but already have a pink "coat". I find it even more addictive than Wordsplay or Babble!

12:18 pm

rururocks

ah.. I play mostly at night.. do you use the same name?

12:18 pm

Aloyisius

oh oh, jotting that down - dare I try it? Is it free?

12:19 pm

lexophile

yes, I am lexophile there, too

12:19 pm

rururocks

it's challenging because there are so many great players there

12:19 pm

rururocks

it is free aloy

12:19 pm

cybernan

giving up on serpentine -- not quick enough

12:19 pm

cybernan

and ru is one of the great players

12:19 pm

rururocks

yeah.. you have to practice a lot

12:19 pm

HarryHood

I go through periods of serpentine activity, then I lay off for several months.

12:19 pm

lexophile

I love the way it scores a player's rank -- I attained pink rating a week or so ago, then dropped back down for a week.

12:19 pm

rururocks

I am a mediocre player there nan.. there are some insanely bright people who type like demons

12:20 pm

cybernan

saw you win a couple of times the other day!

12:20 pm

HarryHood

tuis

12:20 pm

HarryHood

sorry

12:20 pm

cybernan

and you are usually in the top 5

12:21 pm

rururocks

yes.. but that's because there weren't better players there.. I have had my ass handed to me there more than once

12:21 pm

lexophile

For those of you who play there, I would love to know your names on that site. It's nice to see familiar names in the room

12:21 pm

rururocks

i'll see you there. I play in the medium room

12:21 pm

Aloyisius

off I go - enjoyed the grid and the chat - have a great day all!

12:21 pm

rururocks

happy easter aloy

12:21 pm

cybernan

cnan and you will find me in the bottom 5 most of the time

12:22 pm

rururocks

you can mouse there too nan

12:22 pm

Aloyisius

ty, same to you ru

12:22 pm

cybernan

happy easter aloy

12:22 pm

lexophile

I will likely never be a master there, but I do love the challenge. I have been addicted to finding words my entire life.

12:22 pm

rururocks

you only just started nan.. if you play more often you get faster

12:23 pm

rururocks

I've played over 5,000 games so I have gotten better

12:24 pm

HarryHood

stats for the i please?

12:24 pm

rururocks

is5

12:24 pm

lexophile

Although I have been Babbling for years now, I still rarely finish puzzles. It's just not my goal. I've probably completed less than 10 grids here. I love the pace of Serpentine. Judgement every 3 minutes!

12:25 pm

lexophile

Are you rururocks there, too?

12:25 pm

rururocks

yes.. .. same as here

12:26 pm

HarryHood

ty ru. nbt :)

12:27 pm

HarryHood

halfway! bbl

12:29 pm

lexophile

I am still terrible at finding the really long words. As with Babble, compound words tend to elude me. The only boards on which I do well so far are the really low scoring ones. I have actually won a few of those rounds. The masters amaze me. What rank are you?

12:30 pm

lexophile

I will look for you guys. I haven't played the medium room yet. I like the bigger grid.

12:31 pm

lexophile

doea

12:31 pm

lexophile

*oops! typo AND wrong box ... sheesh

12:31 pm

rururocks

I get killed in the hard room

12:31 pm

rururocks

there are too many really great players there

12:35 pm

cybernan

are you lexophile at serpentine?

12:35 pm

lexophile

yes, nan. same name

12:36 pm

lexophile

i will try the medium room sometime

12:37 pm

MLFAN17

do I need to use my email for serpentine?

12:37 pm

rururocks

I think so

12:38 pm

MLFAN17

i know you have to register

12:38 pm

lexophile

in fact, since i am now blind to any more words here, i think i'll pop over to serpentine and try the medium room

12:38 pm

lexophile

hope to "see" some of you there sometime!

12:38 pm

origami

I play also ... poorly

12:38 pm

why don't you open a gmail account and use that for all of your gaming, mlf?

12:39 pm

MLFAN17

12:41 pm

cybernan

speaking of players has anyone seen stidmama or stidgmere lately?

12:46 pm

rururocks

stid was here last night

12:46 pm

rururocks

stidmere doesn't play anymore

12:52 pm

cybernan

haven't seen either of them for a long time -- too bad mere isn't playing anymore -- is she ok healthwise? --- Did enjoy meeting both couples when we were on our way to China a few years ago.

12:56 pm

You guys are really word game-a-holics. I can barely make time for this one.

1:01 pm

The second ha is a 4/5 meaning to stop the following 5/12 is the plural of that on. These are followed by a ha5/12 and a ha6/21. The last two is what I am looking for.

5:22 pm
