1:33 am

sprite

*hugs flosey* Good evening to you! Did you have a nice day today?

1:33 am

flosey

yes thanks Sprite, a nice quiet day

1:34 am

sprite

lovely. Well deserved rest after intensive bridging :D

1:37 am

flosey

the bridge wasn't too intense, played with a very pleasant gentleman who just enjoys the game, not necessarily out to win master points

1:38 am

sprite

oh that is great. I am not at all fond of playing, as they say here, with the knife on the table. Relaxed and for fun is more my style

1:40 am

flosey

I do love the game, even play online here, have one friend I've been playing with probably close to 10 years

1:40 am

sprite

I love to play mahyong, but there aren't a lot of people who even know the real game. One of my friends does, but she plays purely to win, so you can never build up a good game.

1:40 am

flosey

he's on the East Coast, US, we've never met in person

1:41 am

flosey

my grandmother use to pay that one, a cousin and I liked to play with the pieces

1:41 am

sprite

wow, awesome. I often think I should learn to play bridge decently. It seems such a widespread thing to do, you can probably find players anywhere.

1:41 am

mkg

Kizah

Here in Iowa, we have really good beef (steaks, etc), but I have a new friend from Dallas who said that our beef is nothing compared to what he's used to

9:26 am

Kizah

I'm thinking a trip to Dallas may be in order

9:26 am

Uneaixoise

9:31 am

therealblah

morning nan

9:31 am

sandyloo

except its nearing midnite

9:33 am

moolingwa

details :)

9:34 am

cybernan

sorry sandy --- never sure how many hours ahead you are -- Australia has 3 time zones?

9:35 am

moolingwa

depends

9:35 am

moolingwa

in summer it gets more complicated

9:36 am

moolingwa

But yes, three time zones, but not consistent application of daylight savings

9:37 am

amelu0218

currently 84 degrees, 98% humidity and heat index of 101. expected high of 90 degrees which will probably put us at heat index of 110-115. MS Gulf Coast.

9:37 am

rururocks

ugh

9:37 am

rururocks

98 % humidity would wilt me

9:38 am

sandyloo

sorry , as far as I know , yes we have three time zones and daylight savings doesnt come into that but confuses the issues even more

9:39 am

amelu0218

ruru, yup. Just walking outside is like trying to breathe through a wet towel.

9:39 am

sandyloo

I was reading about something on the internet so I was distracted ,

9:39 am

moolingwa

100 t go

9:39 am

rururocks

I can't stand high humidity

9:39 am

sandyloo

84

9:39 am

rururocks

my one excursion to Miami told me I couldn't take it

9:40 am

cybernan

this is going to be a tough grid

9:40 am

sandyloo

I hate the heat. High humidity is to be found in the north of our state and it is horrible. Sooo hot

9:40 am

moolingwa

the other odd thing about australia's time zones, is that South Australia and Northern Territory are offset by 30 minutes from the Eastern Time Zone

9:41 am

sandyloo

How many zones in the States

9:41 am

rururocks

two

9:41 am

moolingwa

4 on the mainland, then there's alaska/hawaii

9:41 am

cybernan

we were in china a week before the monsoons hit --- that's humidity! They must dance in the streets when the rains come!

9:41 am

rururocks

three really

9:41 am

moolingwa

china has one time zone

9:41 am

rururocks

two other than mine

9:42 am

rururocks

mid-states and east coast

9:42 am

rururocks

or as we call it the wrong coast

9:42 am

sandyloo

I have no idea how they work all this out.

9:42 am

moolingwa

East, Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones

9:42 am

moolingwa

for the US

9:43 am

cybernan

we have 4 + newfoundland time which is 1/2 hour ahead of everyone else

9:43 am

moolingwa

Some of the boundaries are interesting though....a handful of states have two time zones, like Indiana

9:43 am

penquis

We may go to Atlantic time in Maine if a few other New England states decide to do so....not sure I would like that....

9:43 am

moolingwa

I think I agree with you on the grid nan

9:44 am

suefrad625

9:45 am

penquis

9:45 am

moolingwa

9:45 am

moolingwa

the one before was slow on the last 50

9:48 am

sandyloo

I found yesterday's one of the easiest ever and I dont find many easy at all

9:49 am

penquis

9:49 am

sandyloo

9:49 am

moolingwa

Well I guess ease is a subjective thing :)

9:51 am

cybernan

9:51 am

penquis

9:53 am

penquis

I don't ever try to finish, I just meander. The other day I left a 5o word grid with one left, which I guess is a victory against ocd

6:02 pm

penquis

yes!....wish i could do that sometimes...

6:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

really, I had one left and it was a 4 letter and I just ditched it.

6:03 pm

Do you still do rankings?

Well that's healthy. I seem to recall that the rankings are really concerning for some.

penquis

i do list when i get stumped...

6:06 pm

penquis

i don't want to look....;o)

6:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have been too lazy to do that. If I can meander through the day it's fine. I hate the tiny grids.

6:07 pm

6:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

This got me away from the web boggle quickies, which were too addicting
