hiya ursh!

1:32 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs sprite. Hi Ursh

1:33 am

Lizlin

How was your holiday, Sprite?

1:33 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* great to see you! How are you and your beloved?

1:33 am

Lizlin

We're well thanks - keeping busy!

1:33 am

sprite

it was lovely, Liz! Rob and I had a very good time together.

1:33 am

sprite

good to hear!

1:34 am

Lizlin

That's the way it should be. Was the weather kind to you?

1:35 am

sprite

not really, though we had some hours of sun and warmth. But mostly it was way too cold (even freezing, with hail and wet snow!) and wet.

1:35 am

NonoNanette

to

1:36 am

Lizlin

Well I'm really delighted you had a good time but honestly, in that weather, rather you than me :)

1:36 am

sprite

yeah we would have liked better weather too. But that is a thing you can never count on hereabouts. You learn to enjoy what you do have, no matter the weather, grin.

1:37 am

Lizlin

That's true - similar to the UK of course. I'm become very acclimatised to the climate here and whinge when the temperature drops below 20 C. A real softie these days.

1:38 am

sprite

*giggles* you live in paradise, no wonder you are turning soft ;)

1:39 am

Lizlin

I think so. I'll be taking hoodies and stuff when I'm in Europe next year! Even though it'll be summer.

1:40 am

sprite

smart. It is the difference in temperature that makes us register it as cold or warm, not so much the actual temps. 15C is cold on most days, but it was positively warm last week, lol.

1:41 am

Lizlin

True - it's actually the cool breeze that makes the winter feel cool here and when you get out of the sun. The temperature itself is usually fine.

1:42 am

Lizlin

Really glad to have seen you - even briefly. Got to go and take care of the soup I started making. Hugs.

1:42 am

sprite

anyway, Rob and I very much enjoyed being together and outdoors. So there will be more experiments like this one.

1:42 am

Lizlin

:)

1:42 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* Tell your love hi from me, and hugs to you both.

1:45 am

rubyfoo

FROST!! and sunshine. I'mback in bed after letting pups out.

1:49 am

sprite

*hugs ruby* The sun is already pretty powerful. Once you are in the sun and out of the wind, it can become pleasantly warm.

1:49 am

sprite

your husband and Rose's are in today's grid, did you see?

1:51 am

rubyfoo

No Wind thus far, but I'll stay in bed 'til the bathroomand towel heat up. When the nights are clear, it gets much colder.

1:52 am

I know, lol. Spent last week outdoors.

12:06 pm

12:11 pm

12:30 pm

moolingwa

correct

12:30 pm

moolingwa

it's "plural" of a 7

12:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

not an actual plural, but a "plural"meaning has a plural ending?

12:33 pm

moolingwa

yes

12:33 pm

moolingwa

because it's a verb

12:35 pm

2:23 pm

Soodle

Double click - sorry

2:23 pm

therealblah

pl for the 8

2:25 pm

Soodle

Nope - the one I got is not pl-able!!

2:26 pm

hurshy

thanks blah that helped me find the other one and the 8!

2:26 pm

therealblah

sorry pl is the wrong thing since it's a verb, ends in the curvy letter still

2:26 pm

therealblah

yvw hursh

2:26 pm

hurshy

we always let plural stand in for that, because it's just too long and clunky to say "third person singular form of the verb"

2:27 pm

therealblah

hah! that never occurred to me. but we've already established that you are smarter than I am :)

2:28 pm

hurshy

we have? lol

2:29 pm

MollyL

Isn't Hursh smarter than everyone?

2:29 pm

Soodle

Theres another br 7/40 that doesn't extend. But you guys probably have it already.

2:29 pm

therealblah

but delightfully humble about it

2:30 pm

MollyL

The phantom pa6 works as a pa5

2:30 pm

urmph, imma have to go hide in the pb

2:30 pm

hurshy

ooh thanks molly

2:30 pm

MollyL

imma have to?

2:30 pm

hurshy

yes, have you never noticed my tendency to incorporate expressions from all forms of dialect?

2:31 pm

therealblah

sorry for the confusion sood! the one I was referring to is to widen

2:31 pm

MollyL

Hursh, are you like all up in da house?

2:32 pm

Soodle

:-). I got that earlier, Blah.

2:32 pm

therealblah

well then...never mind me :)

2:33 pm

hurshy

at the moment, yes - and binge watching masterchef jr. there is an african american boy on at the moment who wants to be a chef and also loves to participate in all kinds of clubs, music, you name it. i hate that one of the first things i have to think is, "i hope the police don't shoot him..."

2:35 pm

MollyL

Glad you are enjoying Masterchef. I tend to ignore phrases like "binge watching". And other dialect that crushes the English language.

2:37 pm

hurshy

language is like a plant - it has bits that die and seeds that get buried, sometimes gets pruned - all necessary to renewal of life...

2:38 pm

therealblah

nicely put hurshy

2:38 pm

hurshy

but i'm the first one to get ticked off when people can't properly use your and you're, lol

2:39 pm

therealblah

or its and it's

2:39 pm

hurshy

or there their they're

2:40 pm

MollyL

Yes Hursh, I know that you are the ultimate Grammar Queen. That is why it surprises me when you use certain phrases. No matter. And carry on.

2:40 pm

therealblah

'grammarnazi' was an entry in the NYT crossword the other day, so it's a real thing

2:43 pm

hurshy

well, I mean, when I was a kid, you watched TV when the shows you liked were aired. it was pretty 'wow' just to use your VCR to tape something if you wouldn't be home. you couldn't watch 13 episodes of something in a row without working very hard to properly capture them, and being very patient. the technology and systems and habits we have now have changed, which makes binge watching an appropriate new phrase, i think.

2:44 pm

MollyL

I am not clear on what is a "real thing" anymore. So many made up words are being included in various dictionaries.

2:45 pm

hurshy

all words had to be made up at some point :)

2:45 pm

therealblah

fake words! it's like fake news! sad!

2:46 pm

therealblah

right hurshy, who ever heard of wiki(anything) a few years ago?!

2:46 pm

MollyL

True Hursh. I just get tired of over used phrases like binge watching, and reach out, and at the end of the day, and going forward...etc.

2:46 pm

hurshy

oh, well, yes, some of those are quite trite

2:47 pm

hurshy

trench coats were first made in the 1870s or so - but they weren't called "trench coats" until they were widely used in the trenches of the Great War...

2:48 pm

MollyL

And then there is the business email I got this week that included pls (please) thnx (thanks) and apprized

2:49 pm

hurshy

also very sad, indeed

2:50 pm

hurshy

yesterday I subbed for a 1st grade teacher who had a job chart for the students - with one of the jobs labeled "messanger" *cringe*

2:51 pm

MollyL

Judge Judy (not one of my favorites) has been quoted as saying that texting is the dumbing down of society. I agree.

2:52 pm

MollyL

I have gotten emails from the teachers of my children that included such horrible spelling and grammar that I lit a candle for the education of kids in general.

2:53 pm

hurshy

srsly ;)

2:54 pm
